Speaker 1: Second date, up date. How many times have we heard
Speaker 1: guys come on this show and say, oh, man, I
Speaker 1: have a full proof way of meeting hot available ladies
Speaker 1: and it works every time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they're always on the show with us.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Today, though, shoe is on the other foot, because
Speaker 1: there's a woman on the phone who apparently has her
Speaker 1: own sneaky way of how to meet cute single dudes,
Speaker 1: and I wonder if we're going to be shaking our
Speaker 1: heads at her too. Let's walk into the show, Lily, Lily,
Speaker 1: how you doing.
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm good. Thanks, how are you doing good?
Speaker 2: Are you outside of a clinic as we speak?
Speaker 3: You found me out? Now I know why he won't
Speaker 3: call me back.
Speaker 1: We're curious about this strategy that you have, but first
Speaker 1: tell us about the guy.
Speaker 3: Well, the guy and the strategy kind of go hand
Speaker 3: in hand.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Well, in that case, race what I just
Speaker 1: said and tell us about the strategy.
Speaker 3: Man. I guess it sounds silly, but it always cheers
Speaker 3: me up. So I was having a really bad day,
Speaker 3: and when I have bad days, I take a little
Speaker 3: a cue from out of the Breakfast at Tiffany's Handbook,
Speaker 3: where I'll dress up and make myself feel really pretty.
Speaker 3: And I'll go to like some random store and if
Speaker 3: there's a cute guy that's working there, I'll, i don't know,
Speaker 3: maybe put on a little bit of the stupid girl
Speaker 3: act and get him to sort of try to talk.
Speaker 2: To me, and what like are these shoes shopping? Ye
Speaker 2: can see air?
Speaker 3: But it just it makes me feel a little bit
Speaker 3: better about myself when I'm feeling down. So this particular day,
Speaker 3: I went to a pet store.
Speaker 2: And oh, okay, I was picturing you in a mall
Speaker 2: or something, all right.
Speaker 4: I was like, it's full of high school work.
Speaker 3: We're in a pet store, a pet store, and you know,
Speaker 3: there's always cute animals, which is delightful, and there's a
Speaker 3: really cute guy working there.
Speaker 1: A guy who likes animals.
Speaker 3: Right exactly. So I'm so wandering around like the cat section,
Speaker 3: like with the cat beds and stuff. And when he
Speaker 3: passed by, I said, I'm so sorry. These dogbeds just
Speaker 3: look so itty bitty, like do you have anything a
Speaker 3: little bigger? Then he's all like, oh, you're in the
Speaker 3: cat section, here's the dog beds. And we kind of
Speaker 3: hit it off and we started chatting and Okay.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you use it as a conversation starter basically.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see how that would work for a guy,
Speaker 1: because dudes like to come in and be helpful and
Speaker 1: knowledgeable to a woman to make them feel good too.
Speaker 2: We would not pick up that you were acting yeah,
Speaker 2: more helpless.
Speaker 4: This is an opportunity to explain.
Speaker 2: I couldnot resist.
Speaker 1: And so did we learn this guy's name yet?
Speaker 3: Well, his name is Ethan and today he's really cute.
Speaker 3: He was really sweet. I actually really liked him, and
Speaker 3: we kind of hit it often. We ended up exchanging numbers.
Speaker 1: Okay, man, you are.
Speaker 2: Good at this.
Speaker 3: Well, gosh, there's the rest of the story. So I
Speaker 3: didn't hear anything from him, and so I tried texting
Speaker 3: him and just said, oh, you know, you were so helpful,
Speaker 3: and I just have like a couple other questions, like
Speaker 3: are you going to be in tonight? When we the
Speaker 3: working next? Could I like drop in? And he wasn't
Speaker 3: really responding and when he would he would never be working.
Speaker 3: When I was like, oh are you going to be in?
Speaker 4: I mean, do you think you made it too professional
Speaker 4: and not flirty enough on the text?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I was trying to make it flirty. Okay,
Speaker 3: there are a fewel things in there, like I just
Speaker 3: such a great time chatting with and you're so helpful,
Speaker 3: and yeah.
Speaker 1: Is there anything in your mind, like thinking back on
Speaker 1: your interaction where maybe something could have been off or
Speaker 1: weirded him out.
Speaker 3: The only thing I can think of is that he
Speaker 3: really thinks that I'm stupid.
Speaker 1: Well there's a fine line, right.
Speaker 2: That is the chance you play when you play the
Speaker 2: dumb game.
Speaker 3: Right, So here's my thing. I have a master's. I
Speaker 3: graduated from Oxford. Like, oh, I know that maybe sometimes
Speaker 3: I can be a little intimidating. So part of it
Speaker 3: is just like I don't know, I'm trying to counter that.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to like make myself more approachable and just you.
Speaker 1: Know, well maybe like trying out like the dog food
Speaker 1: and tasting it yourself on the line.
Speaker 4: But you guys never hung out, right, You never went
Speaker 4: on any sort of day outside of the pet store.
Speaker 3: No, And that's what I was trying to make happen,
Speaker 3: you know. And and it just he wasn't really writing
Speaker 3: me back, and when he would, it was always just
Speaker 3: like I'm not working.
Speaker 4: Oh oh that's also like, yeah.
Speaker 1: That's a good sign.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it is something like I just blew it,
Speaker 3: like my icebreaker went horribly awry, I'd love your help
Speaker 3: to make me fix it a little bit.
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna we're gonna call Ethan for you here
Speaker 1: in just a second. If I could figure out how
Speaker 1: to use this darn phone which button, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: have somebody else do this for me. Anyway, we'll come
Speaker 1: back call Ethan. Get your second Date update right after
Speaker 1: this second Date update if you missed the first part
Speaker 1: of today's Second Date, our caller Lily Yeah, actually has
Speaker 1: a lot in common with someone else on this show.
Speaker 1: What's that talking about? Jose blangyos really? Because Lily admitted
Speaker 1: she kind of acted a little bit silly, played up
Speaker 1: her dumbness in order to meet someone of the opposite gender,
Speaker 1: and Jose does the exact same thing every single day
Speaker 1: on this show. It is true, believe it or I
Speaker 1: actually got decent grades in school. I'm not that he's
Speaker 1: playing it down. He actually has a doctorate from Harvard
Speaker 1: In they spell kinesiology for everyone. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what's see humble. Yeah, I love that about it.
Speaker 2: I just he's so smart.
Speaker 1: He really is but said that, you guys really don't
Speaker 1: think I'm smart like his love life. Maybe Lily played
Speaker 1: it up a little bit too much when she met
Speaker 1: at the pet store. She's worried. Maybe that's the reason
Speaker 1: he's not meeting up with her a second time.
Speaker 2: I mean it could be uncute to a certain point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was the one who was like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is brilliant because guys want to help. But I also
Speaker 1: agree there's a fine line. Was a total idiot. You
Speaker 1: don't want to date that either.
Speaker 2: Are you ready to be as smarty around him, Lily?
Speaker 3: Because in the middle, well, no, I mean I want
Speaker 3: to be with somebody who likes me for who I
Speaker 3: naturally am. But you know, I understand that it's not
Speaker 3: always great to start things out guns blazing with you
Speaker 3: Knowony Granger.
Speaker 4: You just have to get smarter, smart, right, n He
Speaker 4: didn't go to Oxford, She went to Hogwarts, very.
Speaker 1: Similar the same country. All Right, I feel like we're
Speaker 1: blowing everybody's iq who's listening, So let's just call it
Speaker 1: all right? Good luck to us. Hello, Hey, we're looking
Speaker 1: for Ethan speaking. Oh Hey, sorry, Bud, is this a
Speaker 1: bad time to call you?
Speaker 5: You sound like you're no, I just didn't recognize the number.
Speaker 5: I don't what's up? Who is this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're a radio show, so we're gonna need you
Speaker 1: to pick up your energy to help our ratings.
Speaker 2: If we don't need to.
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm just used to the sales calls that
Speaker 5: I'm pretty worried.
Speaker 2: I'm one of those that answers them all too.
Speaker 1: We're not really trying to sell you anything. We're trying
Speaker 1: to actually hook you up with one of our listeners.
Speaker 1: We'd love to take you off our list.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, okay, what's the scoop? I'm listening.
Speaker 1: Okay. This is a woman that you've actually already met
Speaker 1: at the pet store where you work at. Her name's Lily.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Do you remember Lily?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I yes, I do.
Speaker 1: Okay, can we ask what you thought about her?
Speaker 5: Oh? Gosh, I don't say it's it's not so much
Speaker 5: what I think about her. She seems great. It's just
Speaker 5: you know, circumstances around you know, the pet store and everything,
Speaker 5: and like, hold on are circumstances?
Speaker 1: Hold on?
Speaker 2: Are you in a relationship? That's what it sounds like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, No, let me ask you a really easy question.
Speaker 1: Are you into Lily. Do you like her?
Speaker 2: Ah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just don't think the way that you know,
Speaker 5: through the pet store and everything like, it just wouldn't
Speaker 5: be appropriate. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: Like, it doesn't mean according to Lily, you gave her
Speaker 1: your phone number so you could understand how she should
Speaker 1: be a little bit confused that you're not wanting to
Speaker 1: hang out with her, because she says she's tried several times.
Speaker 5: So to listen, in my defense, she's tried to meet
Speaker 5: me at the pet store for advice.
Speaker 2: Yes, so I don't know.
Speaker 4: You keep saying it's not appropriate with the pet store.
Speaker 4: What's yeah, is there a pet store policy the store?
Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't want to hang out at the store.
Speaker 1: Okay, so hang out outside of the store. What's the problem.
Speaker 4: I think she's just using that as an opening to
Speaker 4: like talk to you. I don't think that that means
Speaker 4: like she would love if you asked her out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just I don't know. I'm not in a
Speaker 5: place right now where I was really even expecting something
Speaker 5: like this. I just I'm hesitant. There's you know, there's
Speaker 5: other things. It's it's sort of complicated. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: Not really? And maybe maybe it's something where you don't
Speaker 1: want to talk to us because you don't know us.
Speaker 1: But it might be better if you just told Lily directly,
Speaker 1: because she's actually on the other line right now and
Speaker 1: has been listening to this entire conversation.
Speaker 5: Dude. Oh yeah, hey Ethan.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I was listening and a lot of it
Speaker 3: didn't really make sense to me either. I just I
Speaker 3: thought you were really cool and you know, whatever it is,
Speaker 3: I just I love to know and you know, sort
Speaker 3: this out.
Speaker 5: No, I'm sorry, I'll cut to it. I don't really
Speaker 5: work there.
Speaker 4: What Wait, what do you say you don't work in
Speaker 4: the past.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well not anymore.
Speaker 1: What.
Speaker 5: Here's the thing. It's not like I got I got
Speaker 5: fired or anything. It's just that it was It's complicated. Uh,
Speaker 5: it's so I was doing community service?
Speaker 1: What voluntary community service? No?
Speaker 5: But he really has that. Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, that's just called volunteering, Jack, You don't call it
Speaker 4: community service.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I have a question, did you?
Speaker 3: I mean, I would also like to know if this
Speaker 3: was in voluntary community service.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it was. It was court ordered.
Speaker 2: That's okay.
Speaker 4: Listen, people do all sorts of dumb things at certain
Speaker 4: points in their life.
Speaker 2: You sound like you are doing the time for what
Speaker 2: you did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm definitely getting right again.
Speaker 3: I just asked if this was just for something stupid
Speaker 3: or like if you happen to murder someone him.
Speaker 5: Well, with murder, they don't really let you do community
Speaker 5: service yea, like.
Speaker 2: Oh, you know what, you took out three people? You
Speaker 2: know what, go to the pet stol Yeah.
Speaker 5: Nothing like that. I really don't want to get into it. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 5: but I will say this. It did get me on TV,
Speaker 5: and that part was kind of cool.
Speaker 1: You sound proud of it.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Wait, so TV gets to know, but radio doesn't get
Speaker 2: to know. Come on, throw us a bone, send us
Speaker 2: a link to watch it.
Speaker 5: I'm not going into it. I don't want any more attention.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's let's move aside from the court stuff.
Speaker 2: But that was so fun.
Speaker 5: Job.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the point of why we're calling. It's
Speaker 1: trying to get you and Lily to go out. What
Speaker 1: do you think about seeing Lily away from the pet
Speaker 1: store or from schools?
Speaker 2: We don't know what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, situation.
Speaker 5: One hundred feet up and nothing like that. I can
Speaker 5: still go by schools.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, this is the kind of detective work we're
Speaker 4: doing for you, Lily.
Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the idea of hanging out with Lily sounds good.
Speaker 5: No, it does. It's just I'm I'm a mess right now.
Speaker 5: I'm kind of a working process.
Speaker 3: Well, hey, if if I can jump in really fast,
Speaker 3: if it's okay, Ethan, I'm I'm so sorry that you're
Speaker 3: feeling this way. And I honestly I don't care like
Speaker 3: I You seem really cool, you seem awesome. I'd love
Speaker 3: to get to know you better. I mean, we all
Speaker 3: we all do silly things, you know. When I when
Speaker 3: I met you at the pet store, I had been
Speaker 3: having like the worst day ever, and I, you know,
Speaker 3: got gussied up, and I was trying to cheer myself
Speaker 3: up and was probably acting a little silly and dumber
Speaker 3: than I really am. Just with a really cute guy
Speaker 3: who I liked, and I'd love for both of us
Speaker 3: to just sort of get to know each other for
Speaker 3: who we really are.
Speaker 5: Listen, I appreciate that. I just I feel right now
Speaker 5: that I am not composed enough to deserve somebody like you.
Speaker 3: Well, and I'm very sweet, but I'd love to be
Speaker 3: the judge of that.
Speaker 4: It sounds kind of like a project a little bit, Lily.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's saying he's not ready to date. He's
Speaker 4: got to work on himself.
Speaker 1: Girls love projects.
Speaker 2: Not a good idea.
Speaker 1: They've ever done a second date where it's been so
Speaker 1: hard to convince a convicted felon to go a felony
Speaker 1: whatever it was, is happy to look past all of
Speaker 1: your transgressions that you've done in your life and give
Speaker 1: you another chance. And we'll give you a chance and
Speaker 1: even pay for that date.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Man, we're all going out on the limb free if
Speaker 1: you yes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I appreciate you paying for the
Speaker 5: first one, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll pay for the next five days. You're going
Speaker 1: to bankrupt, bro.
Speaker 4: How about he just keeps Lily's number and when he's ready,
Speaker 4: can he text you?
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, totally, But I mean I have to say,
Speaker 3: you know, it doesn't sound like you're really that into it,
Speaker 3: and I'm not. You know, I if you were interested,
Speaker 3: you'd be interested. So you're right, You're right.
Speaker 5: The way I'm looking at it is I got to
Speaker 5: get right for me to be right for somebody else.
Speaker 2: Maybe if you showed the clips, she'd stop asking.
Speaker 1: Translation, He'll call you when the ankle monitors allowed to
Speaker 1: come off.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I guess I can't get someone smart or dumb.
Speaker 1: Don't be so hard on yourself, Lily. You can't even
Speaker 1: get someone with a criminal record either. Somebody there.
Speaker 2: Kidding brooking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: It's funny when people openly brag about being on TV.
Speaker 1: I know Brooke does it all the time. She hops
Speaker 1: on her Insta stories and goes, look at me, I'm
Speaker 1: on a local daytime TV show. I'm better than you.
Speaker 2: I don't say that it sounds like someone's jealous. It's
Speaker 2: just a right jealous. But that's cute. I have been
Speaker 2: searching for this guy on Google. I cannot find what
Speaker 2: his crime is. It is driving me nuts.
Speaker 1: The thing is bragging about being on daytime TV is
Speaker 1: different than being on the news, which is where he was.
Speaker 1: And I'm just trying to think positive about it. I'm
Speaker 1: going to think that he was in the background of
Speaker 1: like a weather shot on the seven o'clock news, and.
Speaker 4: That's why you get arrested and have to do a
Speaker 4: community service.
Speaker 1: No, yeah, he was like some meteorologists was trying to
Speaker 1: report on a storm, and he was in the back
Speaker 1: waving I want something juicy in the crowd during a
Speaker 1: sports report at the stadium.
Speaker 4: I want like naked shoplifting charge or something like that.
Speaker 2: You know, give us something dirty.
Speaker 1: You want dirty, it's more fun. I'm trying to stay pause.
Speaker 1: I don't believe he was the top story of the night, Okay,
Speaker 1: although let's be honest, he probably was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we couldn't help him today get a second day,
Speaker 1: but we could help you email the show. We'll call
Speaker 1: that person who wasn't calling you back.
Speaker 2: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning
