Speaker 1: Brookings Second date update. I'm not even sure today's second
Speaker 1: date update qualifies as a second date update, since Randall,
Speaker 1: the guy who's on the phone and wants us to
Speaker 1: call a girl this morning, actually went on two dates
Speaker 1: already with the girl that he wants us to call,
Speaker 1: two dates in the same day. Actually, yeah, Randall, what's up?
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good? How are you all good? Now?
Speaker 1: Your email said that you went on two dates with
Speaker 1: the same girl in the same day and now she
Speaker 1: won't call you back. How do you even go on
Speaker 1: two dates in the same day. Well, it's kind of funny, obviously.
Speaker 1: You don't hear about that quite a bit. Um, I
Speaker 1: went out on this blind date with this girl named Abbey.
Speaker 1: Um it was we met in the morning, which is
Speaker 1: a little weird, but that's kind of a time that
Speaker 1: we both had. How early in the morning, like she
Speaker 1: was getting ready to go for work and you were
Speaker 1: outside her door going, hey, I'm Randall, nice to meet you.
Speaker 1: Or did you guys plan for this exactly? I had
Speaker 1: a boombox over my head and everything we planned for it.
Speaker 1: You know, we met down Starbucks, you know, got a
Speaker 1: coffee nine in the morning. Was this before work and everything. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she you know, I think she had to go someplace
Speaker 1: and I had to go to work about ten, So
Speaker 1: just met for real quick coffee. Okay. I don't usually
Speaker 1: go on blind dates. I find them kind of weird.
Speaker 1: Was this a true blind date or did you check
Speaker 1: her out on Facebook and stuff beforehand? Well, so you
Speaker 1: knew it. You knew what she looked like. At least
Speaker 1: I did, and you know that's that's why I went,
Speaker 1: because he's like, oh, she's cute, you know, so I
Speaker 1: have to trust my friend's recommendation a little bit, you know. Okay,
Speaker 1: So coffee was cool, and then um, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: we had our coffee and I kind of I wanted
Speaker 1: to see her again sort of as soon as I could,
Speaker 1: So I went for broken, asked her if she wanted
Speaker 1: to go and get some dinner later that night. So
Speaker 1: tell us about how dinner went. Well. Yeah, so we
Speaker 1: went out to dinner and we started just talking. Actually,
Speaker 1: the one thing we really kind of bonded over was music,
Speaker 1: which is really cool. Like you were like super into
Speaker 1: Katie Perry, like the the Real Deep Cuts, and she's
Speaker 1: a John Mayer fan. So you guys really clicked or
Speaker 1: oh no, no, no. I mean I he asked me
Speaker 1: what kind of music I liked, and I just sort
Speaker 1: of named some bands, sort of stuff nobody really has
Speaker 1: ever heard of. But you know, she she knew a
Speaker 1: little bit about him, and we started talking and we
Speaker 1: kind of lost track of time, just talked about music.
Speaker 1: And it's cool. You're two hipsters after each other. It's hard.
Speaker 1: It's nobody's ever heard very ground there called rocket Ship
Speaker 1: to the Funky Steamboat. They've only played three shows ever,
Speaker 1: and I've got them all on final So you guys
Speaker 1: like the same kind of music and stuff. That's cool.
Speaker 1: Did anything strange happen on your date, though, because that's
Speaker 1: always the most important part. I mean, if I knew
Speaker 1: it was strange, it wouldn't probably be calling you guys.
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about music, and then I walked
Speaker 1: her out to her car and we kissed for a
Speaker 1: little bit and then for a little bit anyway, and
Speaker 1: that was that. So so it's like a steamy makeout session.
Speaker 1: And at the end of the night, yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: How many times have you try to get a hold
Speaker 1: of her since that day? Well, you know, it's been
Speaker 1: two weeks since I've talked to her, you know, I've
Speaker 1: tried to call her, you know, several times, and I
Speaker 1: text her. And the thing is, she never picks up
Speaker 1: my calls, but she does answer my text messages. What
Speaker 1: does she say. It's usually like, you know, I fall
Speaker 1: send her like you want to hang out or whatever
Speaker 1: she says, Oh, you know, as something came up, or
Speaker 1: you know, I'm busy or I'm working tonight or whatever.
Speaker 1: You know. Okay, So so she's constantly making excuses not
Speaker 1: to see you. Yeah, as a girl, I can tell
Speaker 1: you that's not it. That's not a good sign. We
Speaker 1: can pick up the phone if we wanted to talk
Speaker 1: to you. I mean, I want to see her again,
Speaker 1: but you know, I just don't know if I did
Speaker 1: something wrong or whatever. I do want to thank you
Speaker 1: for your email yeah and talking to us for a
Speaker 1: little while. I appreciate that. But I do have to
Speaker 1: let you know this is called a second date update.
Speaker 1: Technically this will be your third date if we call
Speaker 1: her and we're not allowed to do it. So I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to make a phone call. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to make the phone call
Speaker 1: for you. Sorry about that, but I just made you
Speaker 1: invest just wanted to cheer your story and tell you
Speaker 1: that you couldn't do it. Yeah, no, that's not third
Speaker 1: date update, dude. Actually, we'll play a song, come back,
Speaker 1: call her and get your second date update. Okay, thank
Speaker 1: you very much, hang on it looking jubil in the morning.
Speaker 1: You know, Randall, I was pretty impressed by your story
Speaker 1: about going on two dates in the same day with
Speaker 1: the same girl until I played that song and have
Speaker 1: been thinking about my life for a little while, and
Speaker 1: then I realized I've done it four times in one day.
Speaker 1: You've gone on different girls, not even dates. That's how
Speaker 1: awesome my life is. Pay for all of these girls.
Speaker 1: Who cares how it happened? Details aren't important, all right, Randall.
Speaker 1: We're about ready to call Abby, just to refresh everybody's memory.
Speaker 1: Randall went out with Abby on a blind date. They
Speaker 1: initially met for coffee, then ended up a green to
Speaker 1: go out in the evening to have dinner. It it
Speaker 1: was a good date. They enjoyed each other's company and
Speaker 1: it with a makeout. But now she's blowing him off,
Speaker 1: giving up all kinds of excuses why they can't hang
Speaker 1: out again. We're about to call her and ask why
Speaker 1: any last thoughts before I dial her phone number. I
Speaker 1: just need to know I'm excited. So I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, you've invested some time into this girl and
Speaker 1: you obviously really like her. If she says something mean
Speaker 1: like I don't know, your teeth are too big or
Speaker 1: your personality sucks? Are you gonna cry? Not on the phone? No, okay,
Speaker 1: just cry to yourself. That's all right, hey. And if
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out, there's more fish in the sea.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I told you my story about
Speaker 1: four times? All right, you know there's other options. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die the phone of her right now. Hello,
Speaker 1: all I was looking for Abby. How is Thatabby? Hey? Abby?
Speaker 1: How are you? This is Jewel from Brook and Jewel
Speaker 1: in the Morning. Um, sorry, you're from where Brook and
Speaker 1: Jewel in the Morning the radio show. Oh have you
Speaker 1: listened to us before? Ever? Yeah? I look you guys
Speaker 1: at the time on Guys Quick nine. No, that would
Speaker 1: be a different morning show. We're on ninety two point five.
Speaker 1: As people get it confused all the time. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: We get text messages from people listening to different shows.
Speaker 1: We are on ninety two point five, though, we do
Speaker 1: a segment on our show called the Second Date Update.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard of that or not,
Speaker 1: but what it is is where if you go on
Speaker 1: a date with one of our listeners, they email us
Speaker 1: to call and ask you why you're blowing them off.
Speaker 1: A guy named Randall recently emailed us about you. Okay.
Speaker 1: Randall said in his email that he enjoyed your date
Speaker 1: very much, told us how you met for coffee and
Speaker 1: then went out later in the day for dinner and
Speaker 1: seemed to have a great time. He's been trying to
Speaker 1: ask you out for a while now, and you keep
Speaker 1: giving different excuses as to why you can't go out
Speaker 1: with him. Our job right now is to ask you
Speaker 1: if there is any particular reason that you don't want
Speaker 1: to see Randall again, because he feels like you're blowing
Speaker 1: him off. Um, well, I have been really busy lately,
Speaker 1: but now you're blowing me off. You know you'd make
Speaker 1: time if you really liked him. No, I mean he's nice.
Speaker 1: I Um, I don't. I don't know. Are you blowing
Speaker 1: him off? Abby? Well, I'm I'm not in tough. I'm mabbe.
Speaker 1: It's okay to say yes, if you're blowing him off,
Speaker 1: he just wants to know. Okay, Yes, I don't want
Speaker 1: to go out with him again, And is there any
Speaker 1: reason why we have a mutual friend who set us off?
Speaker 1: And then I got a phone call from my friend
Speaker 1: the next day and she says that she had talked
Speaker 1: to Randall and he had um set some stuff to
Speaker 1: her that kind of just set off alarms for me.
Speaker 1: You know, he said stuff to your friend about you
Speaker 1: that set off alarms. She told me that Randall got
Speaker 1: I guess excited about seeing me again, and apparently, like
Speaker 1: that night he went home and bought like a thousand
Speaker 1: dollars worth of concert tickets for us to go see
Speaker 1: some shows. Like yeah, like a thousand dollars how many
Speaker 1: show like planning hading on like six months of concerts,
Speaker 1: Like basically he planned future dates. Yeah. I don't know
Speaker 1: how many shows it was, but I just know he
Speaker 1: told her that it was like a thousand dollars worth
Speaker 1: of tickets. Are you sure that he bought him like
Speaker 1: as dates for you too? Yeah, So she said that's aggressive.
Speaker 1: I can see like, hey, I'm going to buy a
Speaker 1: couple of tickets to a show hoping that she'll say yes.
Speaker 1: If she doesn't, I'll give him to a friend or
Speaker 1: something and then stay home and remind myself what a
Speaker 1: horrible person I am. So your friends said that he
Speaker 1: shared with her that he bought a thousand dollars worth
Speaker 1: of concert tickets for future dates for you guys after
Speaker 1: one date. Yeah, and it kind of it kind of
Speaker 1: creep me out a little bit, like it was really
Speaker 1: really fast. Abby. Thank you very much for giving us
Speaker 1: that information so that we can tell Randall about it. No, No,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want him to know about that.
Speaker 1: I just told you guys because you're asked. Well, I
Speaker 1: kind of have to tell him though, because that's the
Speaker 1: whole idea behind the segment, you know, is so that
Speaker 1: he can know what he did wrong. Anybody. I don't
Speaker 1: want to embarrass the guy or heard his failings or anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean well, but all right, how about this, Abby,
Speaker 1: how about we just bring him on the air and
Speaker 1: you can talk to him because Randall is actually on
Speaker 1: the other line. Yeah, I told her in confidence. Then
Speaker 1: she went in and told you about this. Is that right?
Speaker 1: This really feels awkward? Listen, That's not like what it
Speaker 1: sounds like. I wasn't going to just like show up
Speaker 1: at your house with an armful of concert tickets and
Speaker 1: just be like, hey, I have the rest of our
Speaker 1: life planned out. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. This
Speaker 1: is going to like parse about we have such a
Speaker 1: good time and these bands are going to be in
Speaker 1: the area in the next couple of months. I just
Speaker 1: figured get them before they sell out so we could
Speaker 1: have something to do if we wanted to go out again.
Speaker 1: But I spent one day with you, and now you're
Speaker 1: planning like months of gates. I mean, I don't know,
Speaker 1: just like set off alarms in my head, you know,
Speaker 1: like just makes me say, I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: want to get involved with that. I don't have like
Speaker 1: a doll made, you know, a review or anything like that.
Speaker 1: So you did spend a thousand dollars and buy a
Speaker 1: bunch of tickets for shows coming up to take Abby too?
Speaker 1: Yeah I did, But you know it's parsed out over
Speaker 1: several months, not like over the next two weeks. We're
Speaker 1: going on a cruise to do whatever, and any randall
Speaker 1: you would have bought them regardless, it's not necessarily for
Speaker 1: you an Abbey. Thank you well. I did buy them
Speaker 1: for her and me, but we had the whole conversation
Speaker 1: about every one of these bands. I went. I looked,
Speaker 1: they're all coming to Seattle in the next couple of months,
Speaker 1: so I figured, why not get on top of it
Speaker 1: and get tickets before they Also, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: have much I don't have that much more problem with it, Randall.
Speaker 1: I actually think that's kind of cool. Like I mean,
Speaker 1: most girls always complained that you don't try hard enough
Speaker 1: and you don't got Anyway, he's already planned out the
Speaker 1: next like seventeen dates they're going on. Wouldn't creep me
Speaker 1: out if we had been, you know, going out for
Speaker 1: a few months or so. But we went on one date,
Speaker 1: we went on two dates. Were on two dates in
Speaker 1: the same day. That's sort of one day coffee meeting
Speaker 1: him a dinner. It doesn't really true, you know, we
Speaker 1: went on two dates in the same day, and yet
Speaker 1: it's too intense that it bought you tickets two months
Speaker 1: in advance. I thought dinner was a fun, pompy thing,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't looking for something so quick, you know, right,
Speaker 1: so food but not entertainment. Okay, Abby, he didn't tell
Speaker 1: you about it. You found out from his roommate. He
Speaker 1: wasn't pressuring you to go to all of these things.
Speaker 1: I think it's like thoughtful thing. I can see that,
Speaker 1: but it just the way it came out she told
Speaker 1: me anyway, And I don't know. I just I don't
Speaker 1: really want to go out with him. Naw, she she
Speaker 1: told you. How is that my fault? That's actually a
Speaker 1: good point, Abby. Randall might have kept it a secret
Speaker 1: from you and just had these tickets and was like
Speaker 1: every once in a while would invite you to a
Speaker 1: show and you're sweet. Yeah, your friend, your mutual friend,
Speaker 1: kind of sold him out and made him sound like
Speaker 1: a psycho at spend a thousand. Yeah, but maybe the
Speaker 1: friend was worried. I mean, maybe the friends telling you
Speaker 1: because it is a red flag. I think she got
Speaker 1: the same red flag that I got when she told me.
Speaker 1: I mean, she wouldn't have told me for no reason,
Speaker 1: you know. All right, Well, I'm on Randall's side here, Abby,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, and I would love for you
Speaker 1: to go out with him again. I will pay for
Speaker 1: you to go on a second date with Randall. Come on, Abby,
Speaker 1: if you will. I'm sorry, I just I just don't
Speaker 1: know if I want to. Are you sure there's nothing
Speaker 1: I can do to get you to go out with
Speaker 1: Randall again? No, it was just too weird. Look, I mean,
Speaker 1: what do you what do you want me to do?
Speaker 1: I can back off, I can take it slowly, that's fine. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is just sort of I got over excited a
Speaker 1: little bit. Okay, let's just try again. Can we go
Speaker 1: out again? So he dials it back Abbey a little bit.
Speaker 1: You don't have to go to any cards? Yeah, no shows, nothing,
Speaker 1: We'll pay for you guys to go on a second date.
Speaker 1: I just feel like I'm being pressured by by you
Speaker 1: and then by everyone. Just I just don't know how
Speaker 1: they feel comfortable, and I don't think I want it
Speaker 1: all right. You know what I think is bulls because
Speaker 1: I've already spent like one thousand dollars in gift cards
Speaker 1: for dinner, and now you're not going to use them.
Speaker 1: It's a broken jubil and the more
