Speaker 1: Second date, up date. Eating alone at a restaurant isn't
Speaker 1: necessarily taboo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be really nice alone.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, A lot of people enjoyed dining by themselves
Speaker 1: because it can be very peaceful, reflective, very fulfilling experience.
Speaker 2: Still have to share.
Speaker 1: Especially it's especially fulfilling if you loudly moan after every
Speaker 1: single bite you take. Oh my god, oh yeah, oh
Speaker 1: my god. Have you guys tried this excellent waiter? Pass
Speaker 1: my plate over the table there, they need to take
Speaker 1: a bite of this.
Speaker 2: Okay, you may be someone who shouldn't eat a looney. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, one of our listeners, Lauren, is also comfortable at
Speaker 1: a table for one, and curiously that's how she ended
Speaker 1: up meeting a guy the other night. Oh so it
Speaker 1: works out in a whole lot of ways. Lauren. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the show.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
Speaker 4: I want to know, Lauren, is it something that you
Speaker 4: do often, going out to eat by yourself?
Speaker 3: Actually? Yes, and I love it because I'm I have
Speaker 3: a foodie.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm kind of a drinky, so yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: I could usually use past tense for that drunk.
Speaker 1: Whatever it is comes in liquid form. So you went
Speaker 1: out by yourself the other night to a restaurant I did.
Speaker 3: It was this super nice restaurant in town that I've
Speaker 3: been I've really been wanting to try it. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: I heard really good things, but it's super hard to
Speaker 3: get a reservation, even for one, even for one. Wow,
Speaker 3: it's good, exactly exactly. I went there the other night
Speaker 3: by myself, hoping that you know, I could do a
Speaker 3: walk in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, with one person. That's kind of reasonable.
Speaker 2: Like sometimes you can.
Speaker 1: Scope the bar and one person leads you just slide on.
Speaker 3: It, exactly. But I go up to the host in
Speaker 3: and they told me it was almost a two hour
Speaker 3: wait to get a table.
Speaker 2: You're like, I don't take up much room exactly like
Speaker 2: a chair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll just leave whatever's left at somebody's table once
Speaker 1: they get up.
Speaker 2: Wow did you wait or what did you do?
Speaker 3: So this is what happened. This guy he overheard the
Speaker 3: interaction at the host stand and he walks up to
Speaker 3: me and says, you're only one person. We have a
Speaker 3: reservation for four, but one of our friends couldn't make it.
Speaker 5: Want to join on.
Speaker 1: Wow, Alexis, you would totally do that for a stranger, right,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 4: Them maybe you're with friends you don't really want to
Speaker 4: talk to, so you add one more person to the
Speaker 4: mix and whatever.
Speaker 1: The reason, it's cool. You got an invite. What did
Speaker 1: you say? So nice?
Speaker 3: Okay? So at first I was like, you know, no,
Speaker 3: I don't want to impose, but it was really nice, right,
Speaker 3: And he was like, don't even worry about it, it's fine.
Speaker 3: So I agreed.
Speaker 2: That's say that's really cool.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: I mean, and if he's attractive, you're not going to
Speaker 3: say sure. Definitely easy on the eyes for sure.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Okay, So who did you end up sitting with? It
Speaker 2: was him and who else?
Speaker 3: It was him and a couple of his friends, which
Speaker 3: were two other women.
Speaker 2: Okay, I got to know all of them.
Speaker 3: Yes, they work together, they're coworkers.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's like if all of us went to lunch. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that's a good look on him. What's his name by
Speaker 1: the way, Adam?
Speaker 3: His name is Adam.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: For a minute, I was like, oh my god, I'm
Speaker 4: going to totally do this with my husband next time.
Speaker 2: We got to eat and I'm like, no, it looks weird.
Speaker 2: Couple asks a single person not the same.
Speaker 1: At this dinner table with Adam and his two female
Speaker 1: co workers. How was that? Was that weird or did
Speaker 1: it feel normal?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: It was funny because he kept telling me, it's okay,
Speaker 3: I've been ditched on first dates before, don't bear Oh.
Speaker 2: Did you correct him? Did you tell him?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: No? No, no, I wasn't ditched.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I told him like, I actually came by myself.
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem eating alone. I just love
Speaker 3: eating good food.
Speaker 2: And then they all laughed, like, what a funny joke.
Speaker 1: She's really okay.
Speaker 3: They definitely thought I was strange for sure. Okay, they
Speaker 3: still were kind and sweet to me. So and the
Speaker 3: meal was phenomenal. It was absolutely phenomenal.
Speaker 4: I mean, and that makes for easy conversation even with
Speaker 4: strangers when the food's good, because you can talk about
Speaker 4: it all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're like try this, here comes the airplane stranger.
Speaker 2: Was there sharing that would be weird?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well there was sharing of bottles of wine, for sure.
Speaker 3: We did split a couple of those.
Speaker 4: Now we're all best friends by the end of the
Speaker 4: And were you feeling a vibe with this guy at all?
Speaker 2: Ever?
Speaker 3: Totally, I was totally feeling a connection, and I think
Speaker 3: it would be more fun if it was just me
Speaker 3: and him.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, were you able to get out any info
Speaker 4: like if he was single or what his status was?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: No, But I do think if there's a guy that's
Speaker 1: eating himself with two female co workers, he's probably not
Speaker 1: in a relationship.
Speaker 2: About my husband just had dinner with two co workers
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, checking his phone. Yeah, I think if anything,
Speaker 1: the vibe itself, you could always feel some kind of vibe.
Speaker 2: Sometimes he's in a relationship. He's not going to flirt
Speaker 2: in front of his coworkers with you.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know, but sometimes people feel safe that way,
Speaker 4: or you misinterpret the flirting.
Speaker 1: He's at least a nice guy who is willing to
Speaker 1: invite a stranger into the group, and that that must
Speaker 1: be absolutely So have you reached out to him since
Speaker 1: that dinner?
Speaker 3: I did. I suggested to him over text because we
Speaker 3: all at some point exchange numbers.
Speaker 4: Okay, everyone exchanged Okay, exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I suggested to him via text that, you know,
Speaker 3: we should hang out again, just me and him, you know, okay,
Speaker 3: And he's been avoiding it, like he'll respond but not
Speaker 3: agree to meet up. So I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4: Well, and it's not like he actually asked for your number.
Speaker 4: It was like a group exchange of numbers, which is
Speaker 4: a little bit different, you know.
Speaker 1: And did you make him pay for your food that night,
Speaker 1: because that could factor a d.
Speaker 3: No, No, no, I didn't do that.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, maybe there's something here. We're gonna come back
Speaker 1: try and get you a second date update with Adam.
Speaker 1: Table for two one share. We're gonna do it.
Speaker 3: We're doing it.
Speaker 1: Second date update. Okay, So I've been thinking worst case scenario.
Speaker 1: Our listener Lauren is eating dinner with three strangers.
Speaker 5: Here.
Speaker 1: She says she's attracted to one, the guy, Adam, But
Speaker 1: what if a different stranger at that table was attracted
Speaker 1: to her?
Speaker 2: Oh is that best case scenario?
Speaker 1: We don't know that because we've had that happened before
Speaker 1: on this segment. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Oh, like, maybe his friend called DIBs on her. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Oh my god, it just came to me what you
Speaker 4: were saying. I'm sorry I didn't.
Speaker 2: Understand, Lauren.
Speaker 1: We need to know what were the vibes from the
Speaker 1: other two ladies that you ate with that night? Did
Speaker 1: you feel anything happening from them?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: No, no, Actually they were super helpful. They actually helped
Speaker 3: me with a lot of the pictures that I took.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, they.
Speaker 3: Were into it. You know, they were super into it.
Speaker 1: It's always nice to have someone there for lighting.
Speaker 3: The light exactly. But there was no romantic vibe though.
Speaker 1: The only romantic vibe you were getting was from Adam.
Speaker 2: Or given correct.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how did you guys leave it? That's the one
Speaker 2: thing that I don't think we heard.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, we we said goodbye and went our
Speaker 3: separate ways, and you know, like I mentioned before, I
Speaker 3: had texted him after the fact.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we knew that. I didn't know if there was
Speaker 2: like a hey, I want to see.
Speaker 1: You again, or like a four way kiss or like
Speaker 1: something or whatever. It was a very friendly though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, cordial, you know, sure, just four lips at once.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that final flavor, whatever it was. We're just trying
Speaker 1: to get Adam to go out with you one on
Speaker 1: one because that's what you're most interested in. So let's
Speaker 1: give him a call right now. You ready, I'm ready,
Speaker 1: I'm ready to here we go.
Speaker 5: Hello.
Speaker 1: Hey is this Adam?
Speaker 5: Oh? Yeah, hey Adam.
Speaker 1: I hope you're up for being on the radio this morning.
Speaker 1: Because you already are.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, it's a show.
Speaker 1: Brook and Jeffy Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. That's
Speaker 1: our show.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, I've heard you guys a few times
Speaker 5: before you.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah calling me though, Well, if you've heard of us,
Speaker 1: maybe you know our segment second date update.
Speaker 5: I have heard of that, but I haven't been on
Speaker 5: a date. And then months He's.
Speaker 1: Right, it was Oh well, yeah, I guess technically this
Speaker 1: wasn't a first date that you went on.
Speaker 2: I don't think in any form was it a date.
Speaker 2: I mean maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 1: What to call it. There you were at dinner with
Speaker 1: a group of women, one of whom wants to see
Speaker 1: you again outside of their workplace. Her names Lauren.
Speaker 5: Lauren. Oh okay did She told.
Speaker 4: Us about how she was like waiting for a table
Speaker 4: for herself, and then you came in and said, hey,
Speaker 4: sit with us.
Speaker 2: I thought that was so cool. Yeah, that's really nice thing. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I did see her there. I thought she was attractive.
Speaker 5: I was trying to be nice, but I guess no
Speaker 5: good deed goes unpunished.
Speaker 4: I like how you're trying to be nice, but you
Speaker 4: only offered it to her because she was attractive.
Speaker 1: You said you did? You say no, no, good deed
Speaker 1: goes on. Punished, You felt punished.
Speaker 5: I was trying to do something nice. I didn't think
Speaker 5: what was going to unfold? What unfold?
Speaker 2: What unfolded? Didn't you have a nice time?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were all having fun getting to know each
Speaker 5: other before the actual meal started, and that was all fine.
Speaker 5: It was the actual eating part that happened when things
Speaker 5: took a left turn.
Speaker 1: Is Lauren like a messy eater?
Speaker 5: No, no, there's nothing to do with how she ate.
Speaker 5: It was once the meals were presented, we were picking
Speaker 5: up our forks. We're excited, and then Lauren stops everything,
Speaker 5: tells everyone wait, wait, wait, stop, and of course everyone
Speaker 5: in the restaurant look that loud, and we were thinking
Speaker 5: why why, why why would we stop? And so she
Speaker 5: stands up in our booths and she says to me, quick, quickick,
Speaker 5: give me your phone, and I'm thinking, why why do
Speaker 5: you need my phone? So I hand her my phone
Speaker 5: because I think, okay, okay, give her the crazy person
Speaker 5: what they want. She pulls out her phone and starts
Speaker 5: recording and then hovering over over the meal with both phones,
Speaker 5: last light blazing. She's waving her arms around, zooming in
Speaker 5: and out on the plate.
Speaker 1: Why it's okay, okay, so we STI haven't gotten to
Speaker 1: what part of the meal was weird?
Speaker 2: Did you down upset? Still?
Speaker 1: It sounds to me it.
Speaker 5: Was embarrassing to Mike. I was with my co workers
Speaker 5: and we were all just trying to be nice, like,
Speaker 5: just give her your phone. They gave her bones to
Speaker 5: three in her hands at one point. But what are
Speaker 5: you doing?
Speaker 1: Okay? We'd a rule in the foodie world that gets
Speaker 1: some in trouble, and it's the camera eats. First, Lauren
Speaker 1: did mention that you guys helped her take pictures. We
Speaker 1: didn't know it was like a full Academy Award winning production.
Speaker 4: Honestly though, even when she mentioned it, it was just
Speaker 4: like a side like it wasn't a big.
Speaker 2: Talking point for her, a little bit of light or something.
Speaker 2: She thought that you guys were helping.
Speaker 5: I mean, we were just trying to be nice. And
Speaker 5: when she told us she was a foodie before this
Speaker 5: had we thought, oh, that's interesting. But this wasn't just
Speaker 5: the first port. This was the appetizers, this was the
Speaker 5: main port.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well that is some information that we did
Speaker 1: not know before we got you on the phone, So
Speaker 1: I apologize for that.
Speaker 5: So I want you to know this wasn't just me
Speaker 5: ghosting her. Okay, my friends afterwards that do not date her.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Okay, Now I regret bringing Lauren into the
Speaker 1: conversation at that morning, Laurah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's okay. Look, I understand why you might be
Speaker 3: skeptical of what I was conducting at the table, but listen,
Speaker 3: what I do is actually pretty legit. I have a
Speaker 3: pretty big following on TikTok, and the camera work is
Speaker 3: part of it. Like going the extra mile is what
Speaker 3: I do. Look, I'm going to send you a link
Speaker 3: right now. I have a lot of followers.
Speaker 4: And would it make a difference if she made money
Speaker 4: doing this, you know, like if it was her bread
Speaker 4: and butter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love.
Speaker 5: Capitalized Squarantino for all I care. It's just it was
Speaker 5: it was obnoxious the way you get it. You.
Speaker 3: I did not mean to be obnoxious, okay, And I
Speaker 3: think you might be exaggerating just a little bit. I
Speaker 3: just need to capitalize on what might have been the
Speaker 3: only opportunity for me to eat there, as you could see.
Speaker 1: And if it's hard to get into restaurant.
Speaker 5: Those videos go viral exactly.
Speaker 4: I mean, Adam, don't you think that, like, maybe it
Speaker 4: was on you to say something at the table, because
Speaker 4: she obviously did not realize that you guys were uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, clearly from what you guys know of Lauren, you've
Speaker 5: gotten to know her better than I at this point.
Speaker 5: She's a very assertive, young young woman. So even if
Speaker 5: I had said anything, I don't think she would have
Speaker 5: stopped me.
Speaker 1: Oh, he doesn't have a point.
Speaker 2: I can see what you mean, So don't even give
Speaker 2: her a chance. Okay, don't Yeah, that's Adam.
Speaker 3: Have you gotten the link yet? I sent you a link?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Okay? Are we going to do this right now in
Speaker 1: the middle of the segment? Oh, Adam?
Speaker 4: I mean, wouldn't make a difference, ad him if the
Speaker 4: video was really cool?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if he sees it has a million views,
Speaker 1: just just open it up real quick, Adam, take a
Speaker 1: look and might change your mind.
Speaker 5: If it'll put this to bad, fine, I'll look at
Speaker 5: your TikTok.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, this is a first for this segment
Speaker 1: where we're having somebody go on to social media and
Speaker 1: watch videos.
Speaker 2: No, no, what we're talking.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean outside of the people in this room.
Speaker 1: We're having the listeners on the phone watch videos on TikTok.
Speaker 2: Because we can't see it, and you describe what you're seeing.
Speaker 5: I see the one that was posted from the restaurant. Wait, wait,
Speaker 5: how did you get like a smoke effect back there?
Speaker 5: And it looks like there's a light show going there?
Speaker 5: Weren't lights like that?
Speaker 3: What I do, Adam, this is what I do.
Speaker 2: Oh, you falsely advertised.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Adam sounding a little bit impressed though by what he's
Speaker 1: seeing is it.
Speaker 2: Does it look like you want to eat there again? Adam?
Speaker 5: I mean I would. I was gonna eat there again anyway.
Speaker 5: But obviously this is a great advertisement. They should hire you.
Speaker 5: This looks really good.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're just biased because you already ate there. No, Jeff,
Speaker 1: we just made progress. Okay, it's really what I said.
Speaker 3: I agree they should hire me. And that's why I
Speaker 3: do this.
Speaker 2: I mean, would have made a difference if she had
Speaker 2: given you a hold on.
Speaker 5: I'm looking at some other videos. Here is there tiger
Speaker 5: in the back there?
Speaker 1: Well, this has definitely taken a different twist. We started
Speaker 1: off very angry and agitator when we first had Adam on,
Speaker 1: but now he's sounding very impressed with all of her abilities.
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to waste any more time. I'm
Speaker 1: just going to ask, Adam, would you like to go
Speaker 1: out on another date with Lauren? No cameras this time,
Speaker 1: he gets you. Just do conversation, keep it boring, but
Speaker 1: to you, we'll pay for it.
Speaker 3: We can go somewhere already been before.
Speaker 2: Oh that makes sense. It doesn't need to do a video.
Speaker 1: There as long as we have a gift card for it. Adam,
Speaker 1: what you.
Speaker 5: Said, I mean that sounds intriguing. Yes, I'm sorry. I
Speaker 5: flew off the handle, but it's there. Was like taking
Speaker 5: a stray cat and realizing they're a ninja. I didn't.
Speaker 5: I didn't know what to expect.
Speaker 1: Think you guys are weird enough. Maybe watch some tiktoks
Speaker 1: on how to properly compliment it, But TikTok to all
Speaker 1: of us, Lauren, we.
Speaker 4: Want to say, those are some powerful food videos.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, congratulations you two you got a second date.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Adam, and I forgive you for all the
Speaker 3: mean things you said earlier on the car.
Speaker 1: Just don't tell your two female co workers. That you're
Speaker 1: going out with.
Speaker 3: You, they're gonna be Oh yeah, that's.
Speaker 2: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: Well, that was definitely a first for this segment.
Speaker 2: I did not think it was going to take that turn.
Speaker 2: I really did not think he was going to change
Speaker 2: his mind.
Speaker 1: It's funny that we actually had to wait to let
Speaker 1: someone watch TikTok videos while we're in the middle of
Speaker 1: a segment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that just happens for Alexis right without
Speaker 2: us waiting.
Speaker 1: But you know what, it worked. My question though, is
Speaker 1: did we miss out on an opportunity to send him
Speaker 1: a link to our TikTok page at Brook and Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: Why didn't we do that during.
Speaker 2: The call he hung up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we should do it from now on.
Speaker 2: It's actually really good TikTok.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm about to ask you if you want to
Speaker 1: go on a second date with her. You can say
Speaker 1: yes or no. But before you answer, go check out
Speaker 1: jose doing the cabbage patch dance on our social media
Speaker 1: at Brook and Jeffrey. We're gonna wait for your answer.
Speaker 2: Okay, And why did we make that video sixty seconds lost?
Speaker 1: The bottom line is it worked. We were able to
Speaker 1: get them a second date. Yeah, we can do it
Speaker 1: for you too. Maybe if you email the show, we'll
Speaker 1: call that person wasn't calling you back
Speaker 2: Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning
