Speaker 1: Rooking Jewels second date up date. It can be awkward
Speaker 1: when you're out on a first date and then you
Speaker 1: run into somebody that you know and you have to
Speaker 1: sit there and have a conversation and like introduce them
Speaker 1: to your date. Like I can't tell you how many
Speaker 1: times it's happened to me, Like, hey, is the Repo guy.
Speaker 1: He's trying to take my car and then I have
Speaker 1: to have a long conversation with him, like, hey, sir,
Speaker 1: could you not take my car? I'm on a date
Speaker 1: and this is my date. And then they get introduced
Speaker 1: and it's just awkward. Yeah. Well, the girl who wants
Speaker 1: to do a second date update today had an awkward
Speaker 1: run in on her first date and that's why she
Speaker 1: thinks she's not getting a call back. Her name is Isabelle. Hello,
Speaker 1: isabel Hi, how are you good? How are you doing good?
Speaker 1: So your email says you think your date got screwed
Speaker 1: up because of somebody that you ran into. We'll get
Speaker 1: into that in just a second, but first, what's the
Speaker 1: guy's name that you want to call today? His name
Speaker 1: is Darren Darren, and how did you meet Darren? I
Speaker 1: met him kind of in my neighborhood. I just ran
Speaker 1: into him one day near my house, like a few
Speaker 1: blocks away. He was on a walk, and I know
Speaker 1: it's going to sound cliche, but he has a really
Speaker 1: cute dog, so OR had to go over to go
Speaker 1: pet the dog. Did he ask you out or did
Speaker 1: you ask him out? Um? He asked me out. We
Speaker 1: just kind of walked together for a while and I
Speaker 1: told him I loved animals and his dog was adorable,
Speaker 1: and he was obviously aware of that. Um. So we
Speaker 1: walked together a bit and you know, eventually he had
Speaker 1: to go one way. I need to turn back and
Speaker 1: go home, and he asked my number, So I gave
Speaker 1: him my number, and the next day he called to
Speaker 1: ask me to dinner. That's cute. Did you have any
Speaker 1: binoculars or duct tape on him? A no, No creepy
Speaker 1: duffle bag or anything. He liked very very charming. I
Speaker 1: was just trying to see if he's set up your
Speaker 1: chance meeting his dog. So where did you guys go
Speaker 1: on your day? We went to a seafood restaurant, but
Speaker 1: nothing really fancy. I actually liked his idea of the day.
Speaker 1: It's one of the places you know you're they're putting
Speaker 1: the bib around your neck. Oh yeah, you're hitting your
Speaker 1: hands dirty. And I actually I thought that was that
Speaker 1: was really cute. So I was excited. And you guys
Speaker 1: seem to hit everything off. Okay, Yeah, I think he's
Speaker 1: really funny. So I spent probably the first half hour
Speaker 1: laughing and he was great. I thought it was going
Speaker 1: really really well. And then, um, my old boss shows
Speaker 1: up at the table. Wait at your table? Did you
Speaker 1: just say yeah, it got a little awkward. Um, did
Speaker 1: you like your old boss? Or was this somebody that
Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to talk to normally? This is someone
Speaker 1: I would not want to talk to you normally. And
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. He only goes by his nickname,
Speaker 1: which is Silky. Oh anyone who refer to themselves as Silky.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a fun guy to hang out with
Speaker 1: to me, Like, well exactly. And so Silky walks up
Speaker 1: and he's just a big, loud, obnoxious guy. Um, it
Speaker 1: was really uncomfortable. And so Darren is trying to play
Speaker 1: along with all of Silky's terrible joke. And I know
Speaker 1: it's hard to say with a straight face, it really is,
Speaker 1: you know, it's awful, and so um, Darren actually offers
Speaker 1: up that it's our first date, and that just got
Speaker 1: you know, Silky going, oh yeah, So he's like one
Speaker 1: of those guys it's always trying to be funny and
Speaker 1: is always on and it's just terrible because it's sitting
Speaker 1: there with like bibs around our neck and he's asking
Speaker 1: it there's going to be kisses later? And did you
Speaker 1: guys like joke about it? I mean, if I were
Speaker 1: on a date with you and some dude names Silkie
Speaker 1: came up and was being obnoxious, I would still laugh
Speaker 1: about it with you after be like, man, I can't
Speaker 1: believe he used to work for that guy. Yea, Honestly,
Speaker 1: I was a little flabbergasted that he was there. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we tried to make light of it. Um.
Speaker 1: So then Silkie finally leaves and Darren's kind of chuckling,
Speaker 1: and you know, he's asking, what's this guy's deal? You know?
Speaker 1: How do I know? And I didn't really know what
Speaker 1: to say because Silky I knew. I knew Silky when
Speaker 1: I worked in a fast food restaurant as an adult,
Speaker 1: and it's not something that I really keep on my
Speaker 1: resume now. It was just something that happened. I was
Speaker 1: between jobs and I worked at a fast food place,
Speaker 1: and it's yeah, so when you told your date that
Speaker 1: you used work in a fast food place, you think
Speaker 1: that turned him off or something. I didn't tell him.
Speaker 1: I just kind of said he was an old boss
Speaker 1: and I didn't like working for him. And I kind
Speaker 1: of asked that we just drop it of, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're Can we just enjoy our date together and not
Speaker 1: talk about that weirdo Silkie who just crashed our date
Speaker 1: for five minutes. I think that's a reasonable request. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I just asked that we kind of move on. And
Speaker 1: Silkie's a crazy character from a long time ago, and Darren,
Speaker 1: I think, took that the wrong way and kind of
Speaker 1: stared at me, like, you know, wondering if I was
Speaker 1: hiding something or if there was some big secret I
Speaker 1: ben't telling him. If I were Darren, I could see
Speaker 1: where like, I mean, if he had an old boss
Speaker 1: named Silky, I would think that he must have been
Speaker 1: like some sort of drug dealer or something like. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can kind of see that. And it did get
Speaker 1: a little awkward for a few moments, and then we
Speaker 1: just went back to dinner and had a good time.
Speaker 1: How did your date end? He dropped me off, and
Speaker 1: I got a like an awkward hug, an awkward hug.
Speaker 1: Something was obviously bothering him or was wrong, And I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on because he hasn't responded to
Speaker 1: my text. I've texted him a few times, and I
Speaker 1: feel bad that maybe I should have just told him
Speaker 1: about the fast food job, or maybe my perfume was
Speaker 1: too strong, or he didn't I don't know, I was
Speaker 1: wearing too much makeup. I don't. I don't know what
Speaker 1: went wrong, but I want to know. I love a
Speaker 1: girl's brain. There's always like eight thousand different reasons. It
Speaker 1: could be, well, we'll play a song, come back, call
Speaker 1: him and get your second ad update. Okay, hang on
Speaker 1: looking jubil in the morning. Having your first date interrupted
Speaker 1: by a co worker can be annoyed. Having your first
Speaker 1: date interrupted by an old boss named Silkie then definitely
Speaker 1: ruin the whole thing. If you're just tuning in for
Speaker 1: the second date update, Isabelle is on the phone with us.
Speaker 1: She met a guy named Darren. They had a really
Speaker 1: fun date going, and then her old boss, a guy
Speaker 1: named Silkie, happened to be at the restaurant they were
Speaker 1: eating at called I don't think that's his real name.
Speaker 1: I think he just calls himself Silkie. But he crashed
Speaker 1: their date for a little while, and apparently he's one
Speaker 1: of these big, loud, obnoxious dudes, and he wouldn't stop
Speaker 1: joking around. And when he left, her date asked about Silkie,
Speaker 1: and she didn't want to say where she knew Silky
Speaker 1: from because it was like when she was between jobs,
Speaker 1: she was working at a burger place and she was
Speaker 1: kind of embarrassed that, so she asked him to move on.
Speaker 1: And then ever since Silkie's appearance on the date, her
Speaker 1: date sort of seemed a little weirded out and he
Speaker 1: hasn't called her since. We're gonna get him all phone
Speaker 1: and find out if it was Silkie who ruined the
Speaker 1: day for her. Are you about ready to go, Isabel?
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I want to know what happened. And you
Speaker 1: do know, Isabel, you shouldn't be ashamed of working hard
Speaker 1: and having to work at a fast food joint for
Speaker 1: a little while. I know it's nothing against anyone who
Speaker 1: works fast food. For me, it was just my degree,
Speaker 1: wasn't Yeah, it's just not a part of my life
Speaker 1: I talk about. Yeah, I'm gonna dial the phone number
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm hoping that the guy you went
Speaker 1: out with, Darren doesn't answer. I'm hoping silky answers, because
Speaker 1: I really I'm curious about that guy more than I
Speaker 1: am about Darren. Honestly. All right, here we go. Hello, Hi,
Speaker 1: can I speak to Darren? Please? Hey Darren? How are you?
Speaker 1: This is Jewel from Brook and Jewel in the Morning. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't know you. I know you, I
Speaker 1: know you, Darren. Oh, that's not creepy sort of whoa?
Speaker 1: Who is that? Sorry? This is Jewel from Brook and
Speaker 1: Jewel in the Morning. It's a morning radio showed. One
Speaker 1: of our listeners actually emailed us to see if we
Speaker 1: could get you on the phone. Why. Well, because you
Speaker 1: recently went out on a date with this person and
Speaker 1: now you're not calling her back. So she asked if
Speaker 1: we could get you on the phone and find out
Speaker 1: what went wrong on your date and why you don't
Speaker 1: want to go out with her again. Her name is Isabelle. Oh,
Speaker 1: this can't be good. I don't it could be good.
Speaker 1: I don't know you tell me. Isabel wants to know
Speaker 1: why you're not calling her back? She says, she's trying
Speaker 1: to text you a few times since you guys went
Speaker 1: out and has heard nothing from you. You know that
Speaker 1: it's just not something I really want to pursue or
Speaker 1: get into. Her. She told us about the date. Can
Speaker 1: I just at least kind of tell you what she
Speaker 1: was saying? O date? Yeah, she told us all about
Speaker 1: how you guys went out to the seafood place, like
Speaker 1: a crabshack type place, and she, Oh my god, it's weird.
Speaker 1: She said she really enjoyed it, by the way. The food, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the food, the company. She said, she liked you a lot.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why she thinks she's not getting a
Speaker 1: call back, and maybe you can just tell me if
Speaker 1: I'm wrong or right. Okay? Her She says that during
Speaker 1: your day, you were interrupted for a little while by
Speaker 1: her ex boss, a guy that calls himself Silky, and
Speaker 1: he sounds like quite the character. Oh so she told
Speaker 1: you about Silkie? She did. She told us about good
Speaker 1: old Silkie. She said it was a really weird experience
Speaker 1: because he came up and he was obnoxious. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a weird. He's a weird dude. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: kind of he's very animated and all over the place.
Speaker 1: He said a couple of things that maybe kind of
Speaker 1: wonder how well they know each other and stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: and do you mean you think it went deeper than
Speaker 1: a work relationship? U. He was saying some weird stuff.
Speaker 1: He like, For one thing, he kept calling me a player.
Speaker 1: He was like, you're lucky you out with her players.
Speaker 1: He's always my best one, players, best one? What are
Speaker 1: you I'm not? I'm thinking, like what is he talking about?
Speaker 1: You know? He just wouldn't shut up, and he's like,
Speaker 1: you know, you think he looked good. Now you should
Speaker 1: have seen her in her prime, so freepy, like looking
Speaker 1: at him, thinking, I'm just trying to play along, right,
Speaker 1: I'm like trying to be nice. Yeah, you're just like
Speaker 1: pity laughing. I'm like, oh, man, silky, I just met you,
Speaker 1: and you're like, you're just crazy. I'm just hoping he
Speaker 1: goes away soon, you know. And I was just I said,
Speaker 1: I let him know, it's like, hey, you know, this
Speaker 1: is just our first date. And he's like to say, oh,
Speaker 1: you're going to get to her? And what did How
Speaker 1: did she react? She seemed a bit mortified, but it was,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to keep her composure. And I'm like, inside,
Speaker 1: I'm freaking like, who the hell are you? And and
Speaker 1: he's like, I'll give you a fist I'll go, I'll
Speaker 1: give me a fifth pumps. You're gonna get it tonight, boy,
Speaker 1: give me a fist bump. So did you want to leave?
Speaker 1: So I like, I grudgingly give him a fist pump
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's sure. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I would have wanted to beat him up. Were you
Speaker 1: angry that someone was talking bad about her like that?
Speaker 1: I was more in pre than upset. I mean, she
Speaker 1: seemed upset. I was more like, what the hell is
Speaker 1: going on? Ye? I was like, get out of here, Silky,
Speaker 1: So totally. I mean I was just and I didn't
Speaker 1: I asked her when he left, and she didn't want
Speaker 1: to talk about it. She was like, oh, it's just
Speaker 1: a little boss. I don't want to get into it.
Speaker 1: And that needs me kind of like wonder. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean it just seemed to me that,
Speaker 1: you know, possibly that maybe they knew each other in
Speaker 1: a sort of way. I didn't want to get involved
Speaker 1: with my dad a relationship or something. No, I mean
Speaker 1: not like a romantic relationship. I mean it seemed like
Speaker 1: like maybe she was possibly a I don't know, a
Speaker 1: prostitute or something, and and she was one of his girls.
Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of like the vibe. I guy,
Speaker 1: are you telling me you thought that he used to
Speaker 1: be her pimp? You know, I don't know that for
Speaker 1: a fact, but I mean, without a doubt, my instinct
Speaker 1: and my thoughts were kind of feeling that thinking that,
Speaker 1: you know, it was un very uncomfortable. So you're you're
Speaker 1: saying that you think she's a hooker. I don't know
Speaker 1: if she is or used to be, or what the
Speaker 1: view or wasn't, but it seems sort of like that. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's why you're not calling her back? Then, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to get it involved with a guy
Speaker 1: needs silty, you know, you know, gonna like come after me.
Speaker 1: Fraid Silk is gonna cut you? Why do you I
Speaker 1: don't we even want to find out what's Silky's gonna do.
Speaker 1: Why not ask her? I mean, I know that's a
Speaker 1: really awkward thing to ask, but I did ask her.
Speaker 1: I asked her who he was, and she didn't want
Speaker 1: to talk about it, and she was just uncomfortable, which
Speaker 1: added to them. You know, that is the most ridiculous
Speaker 1: jump to conclusions I've ever heard in my life. You
Speaker 1: weren't fair, You weren't fare So you can say that
Speaker 1: where you're sitting now. But I'm telling you I'm pretty
Speaker 1: good to the character. Well, let's ask her. I think
Speaker 1: i'd be a good idea. She's actually on the other
Speaker 1: line listening, so that's possible. Right now, what Isabella? Were
Speaker 1: you or are you a hooker? Come on, no, I'm
Speaker 1: not a hooker, Daren, Good god, I'm not a hooker.
Speaker 1: I worked for Silky had a burger joint, and I
Speaker 1: was embarrassed, so I didn't want to tell you. Silkie
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like he works with a burger joint, okay, doesn't,
Speaker 1: but he somehow became a manager and he hired me.
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what to think. Even she just
Speaker 1: set up, you're still not sure if maybe I'm not
Speaker 1: a hooker after having dinner, after going on a walk,
Speaker 1: after hanging out, you're still not sure, dear. And if
Speaker 1: I'm a prostitute, I'm not saying you are now maybe
Speaker 1: you were before. I don't know you watch one or no.
Speaker 1: I sent Burgers and I was embarrassed and I didn't
Speaker 1: want to tell you I was not a lady of
Speaker 1: the night. Well what am I supposed to think? I mean,
Speaker 1: some guy named Silky comes up. It's like, yo, she
Speaker 1: used to be pought of my team. You used to
Speaker 1: see you hunting up Prime. I mean, I don't really
Speaker 1: think that's the leader in the morning. I bet you
Speaker 1: were a shift leader. Oh my god, He's like right now,
Speaker 1: Isabel is obviously not a prostitute. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know Isabel that. Well wait, seriously, you really you're
Speaker 1: going to jump in and be like you don't know me,
Speaker 1: so I'm obviously a prostitute. I called you for hell,
Speaker 1: I'm more joking with you, Isabel. Okay, I know what
Speaker 1: she does. I just don't want to see Silky again.
Speaker 1: You realize that you put in like one creepy dude
Speaker 1: that she used to go in the past, personality totally
Speaker 1: on her. I have not seen Silky in seven years,
Speaker 1: and honestly, I hope I never see him again. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is I run into him once and this is
Speaker 1: a nightmare. A nightmare. You know, I'm just listening. I
Speaker 1: trust my instincts. It kind of seemed that way. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry I forgot the wrong impression. It's hard not to
Speaker 1: think what I saw it was still, so you realize
Speaker 1: now that she just worked at a burger joint. That's
Speaker 1: what I heard. Oh my god, Darren, Seriously, I work
Speaker 1: at an architecture firm. That guy was my manager at
Speaker 1: a burger joint. Yeah. Not a lot of prostitutes go
Speaker 1: on to being architects between jobs. I'm on your side.
Speaker 1: I'm telling Darren that not a lot of prostitutes go
Speaker 1: on to work in architecture firms. I have a lot
Speaker 1: of experience. I know this kind of stuff. Darren, would
Speaker 1: you like to go out on a second date with Isabel?
Speaker 1: We will pay for it. That sounds now, sounds how
Speaker 1: about this? Isabel will pay for this one with her
Speaker 1: own money that she earned in a very honest job.
Speaker 1: You know, would be honest with you. I just don't
Speaker 1: think it's You're bad and I'd rather not. Oh my god, Isabel,
Speaker 1: you don't want to go out with him anyway? No,
Speaker 1: I don't. And from now on on my first date,
Speaker 1: I'll just wear a shirt that says, hi, I'm not
Speaker 1: a prostitute. It's a good idea, it's a nice fashion choice.
Speaker 1: She'll be the death of me.
