Speaker 1: Second day. When you see an attractive person online, what's
Speaker 1: your best move to start the conversation. I know for
Speaker 1: our technical director Ashton, he starts with two words, and
Speaker 1: this is true. He opens with, hey, trouble. The success
Speaker 1: raid is probably under twenty percent, maybe even under two percent,
Speaker 1: but you know it's not going to stop him from trying.
Speaker 1: Worked on one of our listeners, Spence says he connected
Speaker 1: with a very attractive woman on a dating app and
Speaker 1: it was purely coincidental. So let's talk to him and
Speaker 1: hear about it. Hey, a troublemaker. Welcome to the trouble bubble. Yeah,
Speaker 1: trouble happens on this show. Okay, I took the right
Speaker 1: dating fall, that's for sure. Yeah. I think it's so
Speaker 1: weird that you're saying you coincidentally met somebody online. Isn't
Speaker 1: it all purposeful when you're online dating? Tell us what happened.
Speaker 1: So I met Robin on a dating app, and the
Speaker 1: whole reason that we met is because under hobbies she
Speaker 1: had listed glass blowing, which coincidentally, I've actually taken a
Speaker 1: glass blowing class, and so I thought that I would
Speaker 1: strike up a conversation about that. Oh, I took one
Speaker 1: of those two, did you make a little dish to
Speaker 1: put your like paper clips in, because that's what I made.
Speaker 1: That sounds really fun, you know. I made like, you know,
Speaker 1: those glass balls you can buy it like pier One,
Speaker 1: those kinds of well they used to, you know, but
Speaker 1: I made stuff like that. Okay, your item was even
Speaker 1: more useless than mine. Yeah, and here's a weird thing
Speaker 1: about it. So I messaged her about the glass blowing
Speaker 1: and she tells me that she doesn't even know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. She's never done glass bowing, and chat's
Speaker 1: not in the profile, and I realized that we're chatting.
Speaker 1: I think I was talking about like a different girl.
Speaker 1: Oh but she wrote you back, which means she thinks
Speaker 1: he had a cute picture. Yeah. I'm just glad we're
Speaker 1: talking at this point, you know what I mean, because
Speaker 1: like half the battle of online dating is getting them
Speaker 1: to respond, and that's tough. So what did you do
Speaker 1: like rush over to robaio and be like, ha ha,
Speaker 1: what a Joe car That was funny. We just kept
Speaker 1: chatting and uh, we're getting along pretty well. And I decided, well,
Speaker 1: do you want to meet up? And she said sure,
Speaker 1: she would love to all right, good work. So what'd
Speaker 1: you end up doing for the date? Well, we did
Speaker 1: a picnic in the park. And I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: a picnic is kind of a cheap date. That's why
Speaker 1: I was literally thinking in my head. But I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not negative cheap, but I'm just, you know, trying
Speaker 1: to save a little money. Yeah, but you could still
Speaker 1: make it cute even if it's not that expensive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was. It was kind of cute, you know.
Speaker 1: I also brought like a frisbee so we could play
Speaker 1: frisbee a little that I played the ukulele, so I
Speaker 1: brought back. I went to the like there's a comedian store,
Speaker 1: and you know how they have like food prepared noo.
Speaker 1: I thought you were talking like a shortcootery board or something.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, And they had like top with potata
Speaker 1: salad spoons. And that's a date. It's funny that you
Speaker 1: should bust me in the potato salad because actually I
Speaker 1: forgot to pack forks and knives and stuff. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem. Scoop it with your hair at
Speaker 1: that point, just straight in, just air dropping it from
Speaker 1: the top. Yeah, that was a little awkward. So we
Speaker 1: had to actually like scoop some of that out using
Speaker 1: like the lid of the container and then put it
Speaker 1: on each the plates. And did she do that or
Speaker 1: was it just you that did that? I mean, we
Speaker 1: both did it, but it was my idea. Yeah, creative.
Speaker 1: She was down with it. And you know, I thought
Speaker 1: she had a good sense of humor too, because at
Speaker 1: one point, like I pretended to feed her like with
Speaker 1: them slid from my hand, but it was you know,
Speaker 1: she knew I was joking. She laughed, so it was
Speaker 1: actually in your hand. This sounds like a disaster. The
Speaker 1: fact that you just said she was laughing all time
Speaker 1: is actually good. I mean, is that the vibe that
Speaker 1: you were getting that you and Robin were connecting during
Speaker 1: this entire day? So yeah, I mean overall it felt
Speaker 1: really good. We especially started to connect, I think too
Speaker 1: when I broke out the wine. It sounds like everything's
Speaker 1: going pretty well. How did the night end? Oh man?
Speaker 1: So we're at the park right and we're just having
Speaker 1: a good time. The sun starts going down, and I
Speaker 1: feel like it's getting kind of romantic, you know, And
Speaker 1: I invited her to come over to my place. Oh
Speaker 1: I told her, it's like looking I only live like
Speaker 1: eleven blocks away, you know, I mean, like we could
Speaker 1: we could totally walk. Whoa eleven block walks a little far?
Speaker 1: I mean, why why not just get into Uber? Well,
Speaker 1: because again it's like I trying to save a little money,
Speaker 1: Plus it's a nice night. We could walk and it it
Speaker 1: only takes like about maybe a half hour at the
Speaker 1: most for you know, forty five minutest. Those are big
Speaker 1: blocks or not? Well, no, I mean, and I get it.
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to push anything or other. But the
Speaker 1: date ended like on a really positive tip though. I
Speaker 1: mean like we hugged, we said goodbye, we totally talked
Speaker 1: about getting together again, and uh, and then we kind
Speaker 1: of left it out there. But I ever spent I've
Speaker 1: texted her a few times and I I haven't heard
Speaker 1: from her, Okay, so a lot to process there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we need to think about this a little bit
Speaker 1: more too. We're going to play a song, we'll come back,
Speaker 1: we'll call Robin for you and we'll ask her what
Speaker 1: she thought about your picnic date in the park with
Speaker 1: the potato salad and no forks. All right, sounds great, Alan, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll do it right after this whole onment. Second, we're
Speaker 1: in the middle of a second date up date with Spence,
Speaker 1: and he made a point of telling us about his
Speaker 1: relatively inexpensive picnic experience with Robin. He emphasized the inexpensive
Speaker 1: a lot where he brought reasonably priced wine, a ukulele
Speaker 1: convenience store sandwiches, and a tub of potato salad without
Speaker 1: any eating utensils whatsoever. Yeah, and right there, I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: if I'm out with this guy, there's no way I'm
Speaker 1: not calling him back. Are you thinking right? For some reason,
Speaker 1: Robin is hesitant to accept love when it's being hand
Speaker 1: fed to her with a creamy mayonnaise soaked potato And
Speaker 1: all she had to do was going to forty five
Speaker 1: minute walk back to his play. Is that so much
Speaker 1: to ask? What's going on? So we're about to call
Speaker 1: and find out what's wrong with her, isn't that right, Spencial? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I want to know, what's wrong with her.
Speaker 1: You may get a little bit of truth back when
Speaker 1: we call her. That may hurt your feelings a little bit.
Speaker 1: I just want you to prepare you for that. It
Speaker 1: is what it is. I don't know what could possibly
Speaker 1: hurt your feelings that she could say, because I guess
Speaker 1: I've just tried to help him, Like, you know, just
Speaker 1: set yourself up with a thick skin right now, and
Speaker 1: hopefully we find just a really normal reason she's calling
Speaker 1: you back. Okay, Well, I'm more optimistic than is. I
Speaker 1: think you sound thoughtful, You sound frugal. How is he thoughtful? Well, okay,
Speaker 1: not completely thoughtful, I brought. Yeah, I think there's a
Speaker 1: lot of positive qualities you have and hopefully Robin can
Speaker 1: see them. But we're going to call her right now
Speaker 1: and see what she has to say. You ready, Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, I'm ready. All right, man, We're gonna do this.
Speaker 1: Here we go. Hello. Hey, this is jeff from Brooke
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the Morning. I'm looking for Robin. This
Speaker 1: is Robin. Hey, Robin, Robin r. Wait where did you say?
Speaker 1: We're from? Again? From Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning,
Speaker 1: and we are calling you with a once in a
Speaker 1: lifetime opportunity here that I think is actually true. Yes,
Speaker 1: the opportunity I'm talking about is for you to be
Speaker 1: featured on a mid to low tier morning radio show,
Speaker 1: and as a bonus, we can't and won't pay you anything.
Speaker 1: You realize this sounds a scam. Does that sound fun
Speaker 1: to you? I guess sounds amazing. Yeah, Rob, you do
Speaker 1: sound like a good time because you went out on
Speaker 1: a date with one of our listeners recently named Spence.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I did. Yeah. So Spence has asked us
Speaker 1: to reach out to you on his behalf. Can you
Speaker 1: guys just tell him that I have a boyfriend or something? Yeah,
Speaker 1: unless you actually have one, then we can't really say
Speaker 1: that to him. But we'd like to tell him something
Speaker 1: because he told us a little bit about the date
Speaker 1: that you guys went on with the picnic in the park,
Speaker 1: but we'd like to hear what it was like from
Speaker 1: your perspective. Well. I thought he didn't want to spend
Speaker 1: a lot of money on the date first of all,
Speaker 1: and then I saw when he opened the food. I
Speaker 1: was like, I hope I'm not going to regret this
Speaker 1: one later on because it looked like he was from
Speaker 1: a convenience store. And can't confirm or deny that fact, buddy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we talked to Spence about this and he feels bad
Speaker 1: about that. He has some regret, he does. He understands
Speaker 1: that maybe he could have done a little bit more
Speaker 1: or made some different decisions. But at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, he said, you guys still laughed about it.
Speaker 1: You know, I was kind of laughing with him when
Speaker 1: although like quirky and you know, all the stop happened
Speaker 1: during the date and the ukulele when he brought it out,
Speaker 1: but something happened something else. I'm not even sure if
Speaker 1: he knows about it. Oh yeah, he definitely needs to know,
Speaker 1: don't you think. Well, I don't know. It's kind of embarrassing.
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem like a guy who gets embarrassed very easily.
Speaker 1: It's a good point. And part of being on our
Speaker 1: show here is that you agree, you're willing to hear.
Speaker 1: Maybe some things you you wouldn't necessarily want to hear.
Speaker 1: But he's ready to accept whatever it is that he
Speaker 1: messed up on. Okay, wow, what did you see? Well, okay,
Speaker 1: so this is what happened. Like at some point throughout
Speaker 1: the date, he gets a phone call. Okay, so, and like,
Speaker 1: I guess you didn't want to take it in front
Speaker 1: of me. So he goes around, like where a tree
Speaker 1: that was near us and soundproof tree? Real, we're pretty
Speaker 1: close with a tree. Well yeah, it's kind of like
Speaker 1: rude to take a phone call during the date. So
Speaker 1: he was actually nice about it, like he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, I really have to take this call. So
Speaker 1: I thought it was like a really important call, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, sure, yeah, okay, so what's the problem.
Speaker 1: But that what happened is that I heard him saying, Hey,
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna make it tonight because I
Speaker 1: have a good chance of getting laid. No, it sounded
Speaker 1: like he was talking to one of his buddies, you know.
Speaker 1: And after that it was like over for me, like
Speaker 1: absolutely a little presumptuous, totally like what do you think
Speaker 1: I am like gas station potato salad girls or else?
Speaker 1: Give it up after you exactly what I think? That's
Speaker 1: exactly like we didn't know that that had happened on
Speaker 1: the date. Spence didn't tell us about that. I'm sure
Speaker 1: he didn't him. Yeah, And actually it's a great question
Speaker 1: to ask because Spence is on the other line right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's on the other side of this tree wanting to
Speaker 1: talk to you, Spence. We don't think you're getting laid Spence.
Speaker 1: What's going on? Man? I am so embarrassed, Robin. I
Speaker 1: was so embarrassed that you heard that that I thought
Speaker 1: that I was behind the tree. You couldn't hear with
Speaker 1: my conversation. Why would you even say it, Spence? Why
Speaker 1: would you even say that? Well, I mean I was
Speaker 1: kind of hoping, you know, I mean you were cute
Speaker 1: and we had a good time. I mean, there's nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with that, right, Like, there's nothing wrong with hoping
Speaker 1: it'll go further. Well, I don't think there's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with hoping, but like talking to your buddies about it, like, well,
Speaker 1: she's a few feet away, it feels yeah, yeah, she
Speaker 1: didn't get one thing wrong about that though. I wasn't
Speaker 1: talking to one of my buddy Oh, okay, I was
Speaker 1: actually talking to my mom. No, how is that? I'm
Speaker 1: close to my mom? You know? Isn't that like a
Speaker 1: good trait that you want? Are you serious? You tell
Speaker 1: your mom, Hey, I think I'm gonna get it in tonight.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make it home for dinner. Not that explicit,
Speaker 1: but mom wants me to be happy. You know. Well,
Speaker 1: your mom does sound kind of sweet, so at least
Speaker 1: she cares about you in your love life. What are
Speaker 1: you talking about? Jeff and a conversation you have with
Speaker 1: your mother. Everybody has a different relationship with their parents.
Speaker 1: You can't judge them for that. That's also true Robin.
Speaker 1: Are you judging him? I am judging him. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna do spence. I'm sorry. You're gonna take a
Speaker 1: forty five minute walk home and then you guys are
Speaker 1: gonna ye get home. Is this a situation where you
Speaker 1: were going to be taking Robin home to your mom?
Speaker 1: Is that where you live? Well, she lives next door,
Speaker 1: but okay, I don't know. That wasn't I wasn't planning
Speaker 1: on coming over to mom. That's why I was talking
Speaker 1: to her on the phone because usually I go have
Speaker 1: dinner at my mom's house, and she wanted to know
Speaker 1: if I was on my way okay, so that she
Speaker 1: could look through the window and wave to you guys.
Speaker 1: This is weird then what I thought before, And it
Speaker 1: was already kind of weird. I don't understand what it's
Speaker 1: so weird. We had a nice time. I thought we connected. Well,
Speaker 1: it's weird to know that that was your plans with
Speaker 1: me right even throughout the day, Like it's just it's
Speaker 1: it's horrible, like I wouldn't even if you're taking me
Speaker 1: to a really expensive restaurant. If I hear you say that,
Speaker 1: it's just respectful. How about this, Robin, If we hang
Speaker 1: out again and I won't tell my mom about anything
Speaker 1: about relationship, Okay, if we can go out another time,
Speaker 1: mom doesn't have to know anything like a big promise
Speaker 1: to him. Man. Yeah, she's gonna be upset, but you
Speaker 1: know it's just what I'm gonna do. Yeah, come on
Speaker 1: me to get her own life. I know. Usually he
Speaker 1: high fives his mom after he's done with every date,
Speaker 1: So this is going to be a big deal. If
Speaker 1: you're willing to go out with him one more time,
Speaker 1: then we would pay for that date. Why do you
Speaker 1: think I called you? Guys? Wow? It's a smart man.
Speaker 1: Smart man his mother raised him, right, his mother did
Speaker 1: not raise him. Okay, that is the opposite. Okay, at
Speaker 1: least he's smart. But Robin, what do you say? I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry for him and I want set for him,
Speaker 1: but I can't. I can't wait with him. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Have we learned anything here, Spence? Good question. Well let
Speaker 1: me tell you this. Next time I do a pictic state,
Speaker 1: I'm bringing corn in a cob and forget the potato salad.
Speaker 1: Could you can eat corn in a cop with your hands?
Speaker 1: And there's a lesson. I don't get a girl home
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah. Mom raised him right. Seek and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the morning.
