Speaker 1: It's broken Jeffrey in the morning. This is technical director
Speaker 1: Ashton coming at you with another classic second date update.
Speaker 1: And just for all of you ladies out there, if
Speaker 1: you like this second date, you like what the guy
Speaker 1: did on the second date, give me a call.
Speaker 2: Most of the time, if you go to a business
Speaker 2: for some help and they provide horrible service, completely let
Speaker 2: you down and leave you off worse than when you
Speaker 2: came in, that would be the end of it.
Speaker 3: You would never go back again. Totally.
Speaker 4: You go for help, right, not the other way.
Speaker 2: That's why we were so surprised after we totally botched
Speaker 2: a second date for a guy a few months ago,
Speaker 2: and he's asking us for another one today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, are free. So maybe that's why he's still here
Speaker 4: at this point.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if he's just trolling us or if
Speaker 2: he really really enjoys the punishment. But his name is Brian,
Speaker 2: and we're going to hear about his holidate that he
Speaker 2: had at a Christmas tree bar.
Speaker 3: And the other day.
Speaker 2: And we promised to give at least thirty percent effort.
Speaker 2: Well Brook twenty two percent. Okay, you don't want to
Speaker 2: stretch ourselves to it too far.
Speaker 5: Again, it's pretty tired right now during the holiday, Okay,
Speaker 5: can I just seventeen Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna muster whatever little strength that we have left. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's do this in your second date update that's coming up.
Speaker 3: Next second date updated today.
Speaker 2: We actually have a repeat customer for a second date update.
Speaker 5: Oh way, okay, So I just don't think things are
Speaker 5: going very.
Speaker 3: Well for that.
Speaker 2: Then, well, he called in about five months ago, okay,
Speaker 2: when he got side eyed during sushi by another woman
Speaker 2: that he ghosted.
Speaker 3: You remember that, we do well.
Speaker 2: I guess we couldn't get him another date there, But
Speaker 2: apparently there's a new lady who's caught his attention and
Speaker 2: he wants our help again. So we're welcoming back, Brian, Brian,
Speaker 2: welcome back, man.
Speaker 3: You must really have faith in us. For some reason,
Speaker 3: we couldn't even.
Speaker 6: Y I'm believe I'm believing you.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a second jam.
Speaker 7: I feel like we cursed your love life and you're
Speaker 7: just stuck with us now.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm trying other morning shows, but you're the
Speaker 3: only ones that like me.
Speaker 6: Actually I emailed all of them, but ye're the only
Speaker 6: ones that responded.
Speaker 8: Chems out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be a very low standard too, So welcome
Speaker 2: back and get email.
Speaker 3: Tell us about the girl that you met this time.
Speaker 3: What's her name?
Speaker 6: All right? So her name is Aubrey. I saw a
Speaker 6: picture on my coworkers and Instagram. She was tagged in it.
Speaker 6: Oh you know, I got it to detective mode and
Speaker 6: click hit the tag and went on her page. And
Speaker 6: I love them.
Speaker 2: When girls tag their friends, because some girls will have
Speaker 2: a really hot friend, but they won't tag them.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, how am I supposed to creep on
Speaker 3: your friend?
Speaker 4: Okay, so remind me not to tag my friends.
Speaker 3: So that's not okay.
Speaker 2: From a woman's perspective, is it cool if a guy
Speaker 2: reaches out to you?
Speaker 7: I mean, it depends on how hot he is, right.
Speaker 3: That's always the answer, Brian.
Speaker 2: I know you're super handsome, so you're safe. What did
Speaker 2: Aubrey say when you reached out?
Speaker 6: Well, that's live in a DM. She didn't seem to
Speaker 6: be attached to anyone, and uh, I found out this
Speaker 6: is going to be her first Christmas alone because she's
Speaker 6: actually moved and she's going to be away from her family.
Speaker 4: Oh that's too bad.
Speaker 3: She used to be alone like me?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 3: Was she sad? About that or was she happy about it?
Speaker 6: She was a little distraught.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, okay, okay, So you you're like, this is
Speaker 5: my moment.
Speaker 7: I'm going to do something holiday for her. Is that
Speaker 7: what you're thinking?
Speaker 6: Of course, I offered to take it to a Christmas
Speaker 6: tree farm to get her a tree.
Speaker 9: Oh so at.
Speaker 6: Least she had a season to be jolly stale with
Speaker 6: a tree in the house.
Speaker 5: And I feel like like you can be vouched for right,
Speaker 5: Like it's not just some rando coming into her dms
Speaker 5: like it's her coworker's friend.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, how did the Christmas tree farm go?
Speaker 6: It was great? It was great. So what we did?

Speaker 4: I mean it was a highlight of it all for you.
Speaker 6: Well, she's playing on the tree that she loved, loved, love,
Speaker 6: So I offered to buy it for and then I
Speaker 6: saw the price tag and was like, whoa, oh.
Speaker 4: My god, we just got one this weekend. It was
Speaker 4: eighty five bucks.
Speaker 6: It was like the three figures. It was pretty hard.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, oh yeah.
Speaker 4: Like five foot tall.
Speaker 7: Like if you're thinking eight feet or something.
Speaker 3: That's not a good look.
Speaker 2: When you offered to pay for something, you're like going
Speaker 2: back on it after Actually, like.
Speaker 7: He just he just sawn a foot off the top.
Speaker 6: What is funny? Because she saw the look on my
Speaker 6: face when I saw that price tag and she was like,
Speaker 6: all right, we're definitely splitting man.
Speaker 9: And I was like, yeah, we are, all right.
Speaker 3: It's actually really nice.
Speaker 2: Okay, but was that the end of the date. You
Speaker 2: bought her the Christmas tree and that was it?
Speaker 6: No, No, we got that bad fella to the top
Speaker 6: of the car, drove it to her place and set
Speaker 6: it up.
Speaker 4: Oh cute. I like, okay, good luck, you just did
Speaker 4: you with the tree. But it's like you like fully invested.

Speaker 5: feel like it's like a personal thing to like set
Speaker 5: up a Christmas tree with it's your tree.
Speaker 6: Well, we put it up together, but I wanted to
Speaker 6: stay and decorated, but she said she had dinner plans
Speaker 6: and she in the date like and I'm like, okay, cool.
Speaker 6: She may have had pre existant plans, but I've been
Speaker 6: texting and calling and nothing.
Speaker 7: Didn't decorate the tree.
Speaker 3: Maybe she didn't want that commitment with you.
Speaker 2: Do you think that she was telling the truth. Do
Speaker 2: you think that she really had plans or you think
Speaker 2: that was a lie to get out of it.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I felt like the girl at the sushi restaurant and
Speaker 6: I was hoping you guys can.
Speaker 9: Help me, all right?
Speaker 2: And there was no women like side eyeing you at
Speaker 2: the Christmas tree farm from like behind another tree. We're
Speaker 2: not going to do the same call again, are we?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 6: No side?
Speaker 3: Okay, well, thank god, let's play a song.

Speaker 3: Second date update.
Speaker 2: Has the Hallmark Channel already done the twelve dms of Christmas?
Speaker 7: No, but I like it.
Speaker 2: I mean they should, Yeah, they should because one of
Speaker 2: our listeners, Brian, met a woman on Instagram recently took
Speaker 2: her to a Christmas tree farm because this is going
Speaker 2: to be her first holiday spent away from her family.
Speaker 7: Oh it's so sweet, it's like thoughtful, it's fun.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, but there was an embarrassing moment where he offered
Speaker 2: to pay for the tree for her and then saw
Speaker 2: the price tag, so I had to dial it back
Speaker 2: and instead just went Dutch. Anyway, ever since that happened,
Speaker 2: he's had a hard time getting a hold of her.
Speaker 3: Now he's asking us for a little bit of help.
Speaker 5: Yes, do you think it's that? Do you think it's
Speaker 5: the you didn't pay for the full tree?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I hope I didn't come off looking like a cheap skate.
Speaker 9: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Fake tree off Amazon, and.
Speaker 5: I mean sheeps Kate is something we can fix though, Yeah, yeah, true.
Speaker 5: You know, well we're paying for the meal.
Speaker 6: So I think, yeah to a nice spot.
Speaker 2: We got you covered, Brian. But let's see what Aubrey
Speaker 2: has to say. We're going to dial her number right now.
Speaker 2: Let's do it all right, here we go, hellos of Aubrey.
Speaker 3: Yes it is Aubrey.
Speaker 2: Did you buy a Christmas tree recently? I'm calling from
Speaker 2: the tree farm. We found out that there's a problem
Speaker 2: with your tree.
Speaker 3: We need it back. Please, what.
Speaker 4: Endangered? That's why?
Speaker 2: No, I'm sorry, I'm just kidding Aubrey. My name is
Speaker 2: jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 2: M Okay, you know we're doing something on our show
Speaker 2: called a second date.
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of that before?
Speaker 6: No? I have not.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, recently you went out with one of our
Speaker 2: listeners and he's been trying to get a hold of you.
Speaker 2: Just have a little bit of trouble doing it. His
Speaker 2: name is Brian.
Speaker 9: Oh.
Speaker 7: Does that whole Christmas tree thing at the beginning make
Speaker 7: sense now?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Uh sure.
Speaker 2: Well, what we're doing here is we're trying to help
Speaker 2: Brian figure out why you're kind of ghosting him after
Speaker 2: your date.
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, that would be because I'm not interested in
Speaker 8: talking to him again.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Oh that strong.
Speaker 4: Really he sounded so thoughtful.
Speaker 5: I mean he said that he took you to the
Speaker 5: tree farm because you were kind of sad about not
Speaker 5: having the you know, family for the holidays and stuff.
Speaker 3: Is it because he's poor?
Speaker 8: I'm not really sure what all he told you about
Speaker 8: the date?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well he told us that you went to a
Speaker 2: Christmas tree farm together.
Speaker 3: He got you a tree, offered to buy it.
Speaker 2: In full, but then saw the price tag and you
Speaker 2: ended up having to go Dutch instead.
Speaker 7: Well she offered you offered to go Dutch, he.
Speaker 8: Said, yeah I did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, you did do that.
Speaker 2: And then afterwards he drove the tree back to your
Speaker 2: place and put it up for you, but you had
Speaker 2: to go to dinner and couldn't stay longer and decorate
Speaker 2: it with him.
Speaker 3: Saw that right?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 8: Well technically yeah, but I think he left something out
Speaker 8: of the story.
Speaker 4: Oh no, what did he do?
Speaker 7: What did he leave out?
Speaker 8: So after we loaded the tree onto the car, we
Speaker 8: were getting ready to go, and I put my hands
Speaker 8: in my pockets to make sure it had my gloves
Speaker 8: and I only had one, So I just said, I'm
Speaker 8: going to go back and look for my gloves. You
Speaker 8: know where we were, So he stayed at the car.
Speaker 8: I walked back over to where we were looking at trees,
Speaker 8: and I see this little boy standing there, maybe six
Speaker 8: years old, crying, and he has my glove in his hands.
Speaker 8: And I'm like, oh my gosh, what is wrong? Like,
Speaker 8: are you okay?
Speaker 11: What happened?
Speaker 10: And so he looks at.
Speaker 8: Me and points at me and he says that lady
Speaker 8: and her boyfriend took my tree. And I was like,
Speaker 8: oh no, what what?
Speaker 10: Like?
Speaker 5: Like he just liked that one out in the lot
Speaker 5: and then he saw you guys cutting it down instead
Speaker 5: of him or something.
Speaker 8: Well, so his dad said, well, my son told me
Speaker 8: that he was standing by a Christmas tree. It was
Speaker 8: the one that we had picked out, and I was
Speaker 8: going to get this people to get the tree, and
Speaker 8: you guys came and took it, even though he was
Speaker 8: standing there.
Speaker 5: And I was like, oh my god, did you not
Speaker 5: notice a little boy crying next to the tree down?
Speaker 8: I didn't see any little boy.
Speaker 3: Oh so you're calling the little boy a liar?
Speaker 8: No, no, no, But I wasn't the one cutting the
Speaker 8: tree down. Like once we decided on it, I left
Speaker 8: and went to look at like reefs and stuff that
Speaker 8: were for sale, and he was the one sawing the
Speaker 8: tree down.
Speaker 5: So you're saying, you think that this little boy isn't mistaken.
Speaker 5: You're believing the six year old that your date went
Speaker 5: and cut down the little boy's tree after you left.
Speaker 8: I'm not saying that he did it on purpose, but
Speaker 8: I am telling Brian this, and I'm like, there's this
Speaker 8: little boy and he's crying and he says this was
Speaker 8: his Christmas tree. And Brian was like, I'm seeing a
Speaker 8: little boy like too bad news.
Speaker 7: You lose.
Speaker 8: I mean, I mean, it's just a freaking tree. I
Speaker 8: didn't care if it was that was the one we
Speaker 8: got or not. He was like, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 8: I'm not taking this thing off the car. Wait been
Speaker 8: twenty minutes. Good this thing?
Speaker 6: Oh my god.
Speaker 7: It's like you guys are in a real relationship.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, like they're fighting at the end of the Christmas.
Speaker 3: Tree six year old okay.
Speaker 2: And so the fact that he wouldn't give the tree
Speaker 2: back to the little boy and his family, that's why
Speaker 2: you're turned off by Brian.
Speaker 7: Yes, I could see that.
Speaker 8: How heartless can you be? I mean, a six year
Speaker 8: old is rying in the middle of.
Speaker 3: He's like, shut up, I'm trying to cut this tree down.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe it's just a misunderstanding and there's some miscommunication here,
Speaker 2: and the perfect way to sort this out is just
Speaker 2: by putting you on the phone with Brian, who's actually
Speaker 2: already on the phone.
Speaker 6: I've been the entire time. Yeah, oh my gosh, what
Speaker 6: a huge miscommunication.
Speaker 4: Okay, do you hear that?
Speaker 6: Well, how did I cut one? I didn't cut down
Speaker 6: the little boy's tree because he didn't.
Speaker 9: Pay for it.
Speaker 6: Oh wha, Well, hold on, technically, you cannot cut down
Speaker 6: the tree until you purchase it. I had the receipt
Speaker 6: in hand when I cut down the tree. But the
Speaker 6: boy was looking at the tree but it was not
Speaker 6: his tree.
Speaker 3: Okay, So you did see the little boy though, crying
Speaker 3: next to it while you were sawing it down.
Speaker 6: There were kids standing next to every tree, So does
Speaker 6: that mean that fair tree too?
Speaker 3: Crying kids all over this tree?
Speaker 6: Far?
Speaker 3: How am I supposed to know?
Speaker 5: I mean that, Yeah, but you can see where she's
Speaker 5: coming from, right, Like she just was confronted by a
Speaker 5: crying little boy and the father, and then hold.
Speaker 9: On the father.
Speaker 6: The father wasn't all that confrontational the bother the kind
Speaker 6: of relief that I saved.
Speaker 9: Him from buying such an expensive tree.
Speaker 8: Is that the way that you're getting, Aubrey, I think
Speaker 8: missing the point here. There's a six strove little boy
Speaker 8: crying at Christmas time, Like I don't freaking care if
Speaker 8: you didn't see him, or I was more concerned.
Speaker 6: His father can do something to stop him from crying.
Speaker 2: Oh, parent, He's raised an entitled child who believes that
Speaker 2: he deserves the tree.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm kind of with him on that point,
Speaker 5: Like my kids wanted a bigger, more expensive tree at
Speaker 5: the tree lot and we're like, no, that's not happening.
Speaker 4: Your kids crying, don't cry about it.
Speaker 6: I think that's what happened. I think his father probably
Speaker 6: told him no to that tree because of the price
Speaker 6: tag on it, and he's just he was playing. He
Speaker 6: was playing that kid making us look like the bad guy,
Speaker 6: so he didn't look like.
Speaker 8: Here is that we had an opportunity to do something
Speaker 8: really kind for a child at Christmas time, you chose
Speaker 8: not to do it, and you were making the owner.
Speaker 6: We were on a date this does not make a wish.
Speaker 8: You're not making it. You're not making it any better.
Speaker 4: Bat goes into your house.
Speaker 12: You know, you know what, a Aubrey, here's a chance
Speaker 12: for you to take your own advice.
Speaker 3: Here there is a sad boy on the other line.
Speaker 2: He cannot get another date with a woman that he
Speaker 2: really liked, and all he wants for Christmas is on
Speaker 2: more date and we will pay for it. Are you
Speaker 2: gonna be a good person here, Aubrey, A you're gonna
Speaker 2: be a grinch?
Speaker 8: May Oh my gosh, are you scarious?
Speaker 3: I know when you frame it like that, it's hard
Speaker 3: to say no.
Speaker 5: I mean, I will say, Brian really does like you.
Speaker 5: He was trying to do something kind. Maybe he's got
Speaker 5: a little more sterner approach to children than you do.
Speaker 3: Focused on you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that boy probably isn't a very good kid anyway.
Speaker 6: I could have stolen your glove.
Speaker 2: All we know he was holding onto your glove. You
Speaker 2: should really rub it in that kid's face by going
Speaker 2: out with Brian again one more time on our bill.
Speaker 8: It's going to be a hard pass.
Speaker 7: No Christmas miracle.
Speaker 2: Now, there's a whole studio full of sad radios who
Speaker 2: were just upset because we couldn't get our listener another
Speaker 2: date again.
Speaker 3: Good job, Abbrey.
Speaker 8: I think there's a pattern here. It's not me, it's Brian.
Speaker 6: Last Christmas, I gave you, you gave it away.
Speaker 3: Okay, Brian's been drinking almost.
Speaker 6: I need a brink now.
Speaker 10: It's Brooking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: Ever since we did that call, Brooke has still been
Speaker 2: saying that she doesn't care that the kid was crying.
Speaker 3: She kind of thinks that he deserves it.
Speaker 7: I kid's cry all the time, Jeffrey, does it count well?
Speaker 5: I mean, if we did everything based on what would
Speaker 5: upset a child, no one would do anything in this world.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the world would be a better place like that.
Speaker 3: Just don't do anything at all.
Speaker 7: He can get a different tree.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the.
Speaker 4: Top of the car. I wouldn't take it down either.
Speaker 3: Let him take your car home.
Speaker 2: Then that would have been in the true spirit of
Speaker 2: generous jeff You know. But of course, with people like
Speaker 2: Brooke on the show, we're unable to get a second date.
Speaker 3: Update for our friend Brian.
Speaker 4: I tried for Brian.
Speaker 6: I did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're now oh for two with Brian. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I wonder if he'll call back for a third time.
Speaker 3: Who knows.
Speaker 7: Remember at the beginning of all this, he was the
Speaker 7: one ghosting woman.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but she's called Christmas Karme.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there it is.
Speaker 2: But you know what, if you're like Brian, you need
Speaker 2: help reaching out to someone after a date, email us.
Speaker 2: We'll call the person who isn't calling you back.
Speaker 5: We're obviously very good at it.
Speaker 10: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: I know how awkward it can be dating somebody in
Speaker 2: your own office, but you know, especially around the holidays. Oh,
Speaker 2: just the other day, there was mistletoe hanging from one
Speaker 2: of Alexis's fake eyelashes.
Speaker 7: Oh that's what that was.
Speaker 3: I don't even know if she realized it was there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: everybody right, sure noticed it.
Speaker 4: How did you get how did you get sound?
Speaker 7: Is that happening?
Speaker 13: There's also a microphone stuck in her fake eyelash to
Speaker 13: It's super awkward that our co hosts and our an item,
Speaker 13: But just imagine if you went out with someone at
Speaker 13: your work and after the hangout, multiple people are now avoiding.
Speaker 7: You, avoiding you.
Speaker 2: That's what happened to one of our listeners, and we're
Speaker 2: about to find out why and see if we can
Speaker 2: get her another shot in a holiday edition of Second
Speaker 2: Date updates.
Speaker 7: I was going to say, at least get her Alexis's
Speaker 7: lash lady.
Speaker 3: Yeah, some help for her. That's coming up next Second
Speaker 3: Date update.
Speaker 2: The holidays are a time for family, forgiving, for playing
Speaker 2: your favorite Christmas songs on repeat with rapper Little John
Speaker 2: in the background.
Speaker 4: I missed that night.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Nothing says the Holidays for me like an Atlanta rapper
Speaker 2: putting on another Yule log.
Speaker 5: Why are you bringing Little John and how he spends
Speaker 5: his holidays.
Speaker 2: I'm saying the holidays they're different for everybody. I said,
Speaker 2: the holidays are different for everyone, Little John, They're different
Speaker 2: for everyone.
Speaker 3: Okay, got it?
Speaker 7: This whole time, you just had hearing problems.
Speaker 2: Yes, and yeah, we've got a listener on the phone
Speaker 2: for a very special holiday edition of a Second Date Update.
Speaker 2: Her name is Para, So Parah, welcome to the show.
Speaker 11: Oh what.
Speaker 3: Parah? What's up?
Speaker 10: Hey?
Speaker 11: Good morning, Happy holidays?
Speaker 6: Parah?
Speaker 11: Hey? Thanks?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So tell us about why you emailed us for
Speaker 2: a Second Date update.
Speaker 3: Who'd you meet?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 11: So I met this guy. His name is Bryce. We
Speaker 11: work in the same build, but we hadn't officially been introduced.
Speaker 11: I guess like we knew who each other were, but
Speaker 11: we were at a celebration for the holidays. It was
Speaker 11: a work party.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay, that's right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, perfect opportunity.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so he approached me, and it's kind of weird
Speaker 11: that he told me that he heard about me from Janna.
Speaker 11: She's another girl we work with, but I don't really
Speaker 11: know her very well either.
Speaker 3: Someone's playing matchmaker.
Speaker 2: Company always tries to do that with our other workers.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I think it helps that he was
Speaker 11: very attractive. Otherwise I'm not sure I would be too
Speaker 11: happy that Jana was talking about me to the strangers.
Speaker 2: Just like, don't hook me up with Yeah, okay, so
Speaker 2: how did that go?
Speaker 3: You and Bryce hit it off? Yeah, we did.
Speaker 11: So he invited me to go Christmas shopping with him.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I've never been asked out that way before, so I thought,
Speaker 11: you know, it would be kind of cool to get
Speaker 11: to know each other. And so it's not so like formal,
Speaker 11: but we were there for like five hours.
Speaker 3: Okay, that sounds like a nightmare.
Speaker 5: He didn't say, like, I really got to find something
Speaker 5: for my wife, right, who were you shopping for?
Speaker 11: I guess it was just shopping for like his family
Speaker 11: and stuff like that. We did look at some really cute,
Speaker 11: like sexy outfits, but he had me put him up
Speaker 11: to me, and you know, he complimented me and was
Speaker 11: being really flirtatious.
Speaker 4: Did he buy you any of them?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 11: It was our first date, so I think he was
Speaker 11: just trying to be flirty and cute and just kind
Speaker 11: of hit the touch barrier and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: I'm picturing lingerie. Is anyone else or is it like
Speaker 5: just a cute dress?
Speaker 3: Is a robe considered lingerie in your house? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean it's got to be tiny, it's going to
Speaker 5: be consider lingerie and sexy. Otherwise it's like, oh, you
Speaker 5: look hot in this very large charry.
Speaker 3: Which one was it?
Speaker 11: You know, we looked at many different things. It wasn't
Speaker 11: just like one specific type of outfit or anything like that.
Speaker 11: We were there for many hours and he had.
Speaker 7: The stamina for that. I swear to god.
Speaker 5: I go to the store with my husband and twenty
Speaker 5: minutes in, yeah, he dish.
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you guys at least go get food somewhere?
Speaker 10: We did.
Speaker 11: We ate at the food Core about halfway through, just
Speaker 11: kind of talked about work and stuff like that.
Speaker 7: This is like a nineteen ninety six date all over again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hitting up the orange Julia suit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why not?
Speaker 2: I mean, it sounds like you had time I did.
Speaker 11: You know, we spent some time kind of making fun
Speaker 11: of people, and just like it was nice to see
Speaker 11: somebody who wasn't so uptight like all the other guys
Speaker 11: I've dated.
Speaker 4: Exactly when you're sitting in the food court eating. It's
Speaker 4: a valid point.
Speaker 2: But it sounds like you guys really bonded and had
Speaker 2: a good time together. How did you leave things at
Speaker 2: the mall?
Speaker 11: Well, at the end, you know, we just kind of hugged.
Speaker 11: And then he said something that was kind of weird.
Speaker 11: He said he was going to circle back with Jana
Speaker 11: and thank her for introducing us officially. I guess was it.
Speaker 5: Supposed to be a joke because it comes off so businesslike,
Speaker 5: I'm going to circle back with Janna.
Speaker 11: I thought it was kind of weird. He hasn't really
Speaker 11: reached out to me since then, so I tried to
Speaker 11: reach out to Janna and ask her, you know, how
Speaker 11: she thought it went. But she's avoiding me too.
Speaker 4: Avoiding you.
Speaker 3: Maybe a sexy robe was for Jana?
Speaker 11: Oh that would be really weird. She's like super old.
Speaker 2: It's weird that he's avoiding you, but also Jana is
Speaker 2: avoiding you something is clearly up here.
Speaker 3: Doesn't want to tell you something, and that the.
Speaker 7: Old ladies playing matchmaker in the office.
Speaker 12: That makes sense because you do just okay, she loves all.
Speaker 4: Right, bick one, get.
Speaker 6: All.
Speaker 3: We're gonna play a song.
Speaker 2: We're gonna come back, and we're gonna call Bryce for you,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna ask him if he wants another date
Speaker 2: with you, Little John?
Speaker 3: Are you cool with Little John?
Speaker 2: John? Board didn't realize he was listening your Second Date
Speaker 2: Update right after this.
Speaker 13: Yeah, hold on, Second Date Update.
Speaker 2: We're in the middle of a holiday edition of a
Speaker 2: Second Date Update.
Speaker 7: Oh, this song makes it sound so sweet.
Speaker 2: It is sweet because we're on the phone with one
Speaker 2: of our listeners Para, which, honestly, it's an interesting name.
Speaker 2: I don't think i've ever heard that before. Is that
Speaker 2: short for something para?
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's actually short for parasol.
Speaker 5: Parasol, Oh, like the umbrella?
Speaker 11: Like the umbrella? Yeah, exactly. So my parents met in
Speaker 11: Paris under an umbrella, and so that's where my name
Speaker 11: came from.
Speaker 2: Wow, you're named after an international umbrella. I mean Brooks
Speaker 2: named after a dirty riverfield would runoff from meth Labs
Speaker 2: in Idaho.
Speaker 3: So you guys been bond after the show is done.
Speaker 12: About There to Go Creek, but with Brooks dead, it's
Speaker 12: very romantic.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Anyway, the reason Paras reached out to us is because
Speaker 2: she went out with a guy named Bryce. The two
Speaker 2: of them went holiday shopping together after they were kind
Speaker 2: of set up by one of their coworkers.
Speaker 7: Has it been so awkward at work since he's been
Speaker 7: avoiding you?
Speaker 11: Luckily we work in different departments, we don't really cross paths,
Speaker 11: but every once in a while I'd like to be
Speaker 11: able to walk by and say hi without it being weird.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, let's start by saying hi over the phone, because
Speaker 2: we're going to call him right now and we'll see
Speaker 2: what he hasks to say. Maybe there's a logical reason
Speaker 2: why he's not calling you back. Yeah, all right, come on,
Speaker 2: it's the spirit of the holidays.
Speaker 4: It's all about hope, right Christmas Magi?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Good, with the benefit of the Now, I guess here
Speaker 11: we go.
Speaker 3: I'm going to die Brice's number. Let's do this. Hello, Hey,
Speaker 3: is this Bryce?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And my name is jeff from the radio show Brook
Speaker 2: and Jeffrey in the Morning. Okay, Merry Christmas or Happy
Speaker 2: Honkah or Kwanza.
Speaker 9: Merry Christmas is fine. I always tell people that's a
Speaker 9: safe assumption most people celebrate Christmas. But yeah, merry Christmas.
Speaker 3: Okay. Well, I don't personally I want to be there. No,
Speaker 3: I'm glad.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you're a big fan of the holidays
Speaker 2: and holidays. Yeah, we heard that you went holiday shopping recently,
Speaker 2: actually with one of our listeners.
Speaker 9: This is why you called me, just to talk about
Speaker 9: holiday shopping.
Speaker 7: Have you even dip it into the egg dog?
Speaker 14: Not wrong with that, No, it's just kind of strange
Speaker 14: and I don't really you know, I don't know why
Speaker 14: I got a call from a radio station.
Speaker 2: Well, this is a segment that we do called a
Speaker 2: second Date Update, and we're trying to see if you
Speaker 2: would like to hang out with Para again after you
Speaker 2: guys went shopping together.
Speaker 14: Wait Para, yeah from your Yeah, I know, I don't
Speaker 14: really see any reason to hang out with her again.
Speaker 14: I mean, I got all my my Christmas shopping done.
Speaker 9: I mean that was cool. She was really helpful.
Speaker 3: What what are you talking about?
Speaker 5: She said, you guys met at the company holiday party.
Speaker 3: Your coworking, right?
Speaker 6: We did?
Speaker 8: Yeah, we did.
Speaker 9: We we met in our company. Uh, co worker, Jana,
Speaker 9: I'll put us together. You know. I was complaining to
Speaker 9: her that I really couldn't figure out what I wanted
Speaker 9: to get from my girlfriend for Christmas? And so did
Speaker 9: you just use what do you mean?
Speaker 11: Wait?
Speaker 9: I was. I went, I needed to do a shopping
Speaker 9: for my girlfriend, and Janna, you have a girlfriend. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 7: Okay, I don't think Para.
Speaker 4: Did you tell Para that?
Speaker 7: Like, why are you being so nonchalant about it?
Speaker 9: I don't understand the I really don't get it. Janet
Speaker 9: told me that they did a secret Santa thing for
Speaker 9: the last couple of years and Para gave the best stuff.
Speaker 9: And then you know, I had good tips on what
Speaker 9: to buy.
Speaker 5: So so you use her for five hours on no
Speaker 5: pay as a personal shopper.
Speaker 9: Oh no, don't get me wrong. You know I actually
Speaker 9: gave some money to Janna that I answered it to
Speaker 9: give the parrot. Either she didn't ask or anything. You know,
Speaker 9: I just said I appreciate it, so I would hope
Speaker 9: she would pass it on. That's all, okay, there, did
Speaker 9: Jenna not give it to her? I'm so confused.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are confused.
Speaker 2: Probably most of all is Para, who's been listening on
Speaker 2: the other line this entire time and wants to.
Speaker 3: Talk to you.
Speaker 11: I don't even know what to say, I am.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's.
Speaker 7: Funny, but.
Speaker 3: So Bryce, par has been there the whole time.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so of course you have a girlfriend.
Speaker 9: Why do you think we were shopping for bathrobe? I
Speaker 9: even said to you, do you think Helen would like these?
Speaker 4: You know, why are you laughing?
Speaker 11: First off, Helen is an old lady name, so I
Speaker 11: definitely thought we were shopping for like your grandma or
Speaker 11: your aunt or something.
Speaker 9: Her name is a name, Okay, I mean she she Yes,
Speaker 9: she is a little bit older, but that doesn't matter.
Speaker 9: I mean my girlfriend is is. She's wonderful. She's a
Speaker 9: wonderful woman.
Speaker 11: Okay, So you use me to help you shop for
Speaker 11: your girlfriend. I mean you just led me.
Speaker 8: On and used me.
Speaker 2: Well hold on, because he said that he gave money
Speaker 2: to Jana to forward to you.
Speaker 11: Well, that money never got to me, and it was
Speaker 11: obviously not clear that you're using me as a personal shopper.
Speaker 5: That's why Jana is avoiding you because she stole your money.
Speaker 5: It has nothing to Oh my god, I'm sorry.
Speaker 11: That's sketchy, because Brice, why would you pay Jana to
Speaker 11: pay me if that's really what this was. Why didn't
Speaker 11: you give me the money and explain that that's what
Speaker 11: you wanted me to do.
Speaker 9: You work on a different flour than me. I never
Speaker 9: really saw you that much until the party, and then
Speaker 9: Jana recommended that I take you shopping, and so look,
Speaker 9: nobody asked me for money anyway. I thought it was
Speaker 9: just a nice thing to do, so I gave Jana
Speaker 9: fifty bucks to pass on to you.
Speaker 5: Why aren't you apologizing for the miscommunication? Though, like I
Speaker 5: would feel terrible.
Speaker 3: You apologizing for it.
Speaker 7: He because he was never clear was what his intention was.
Speaker 5: I mean, yes, I think that there was a lot
Speaker 5: of mistakes throughout this whole thing, But I mean she's embarrassed.
Speaker 5: Parah is embarrassed. She thought that there was something else
Speaker 5: and that and that sucks.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I will say that, Para. I like, this is
Speaker 9: a weird situation, and I don't you know, I think
Speaker 9: we all got a look confused. I knew you were single.
Speaker 9: All right, you kind of made that clear when we
Speaker 9: were shopping, and now I guess look him back. I
Speaker 9: don't understand why talking about being single, but I didn't you.
Speaker 11: Even have a girlfriend. If you can't go shopping for
Speaker 11: her on your own, you know that you paid somebody
Speaker 11: to go find her gift for her.
Speaker 9: So I hired a personal shopper. I mean, in my
Speaker 9: mind that's what I was doing. I hired a personal shopper.
Speaker 9: I don't think she would be upset by that.
Speaker 7: I think that helps the case.
Speaker 4: You didn't have a personal shopper.
Speaker 6: She thought.
Speaker 3: At least that was his intention.
Speaker 9: Janna is a scandalous.
Speaker 6: One and all.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Jana, I totally took advantage of the situation to
Speaker 12: try to get some work for free.
Speaker 3: He paid her fifty bucks.
Speaker 11: That was just a booking fee to pay Janna to
Speaker 11: find someone to shop for you. So I think you
Speaker 11: saw me like a hundred bucks for my time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a booking fee. I agree with that.
Speaker 7: I mean, if you're going to be a pip, you
Speaker 7: better get your rates right.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, you know, I think I only spent like
Speaker 9: forty dollars on the bathrobe. I mean it's really good.
Speaker 3: Well, shopper.
Speaker 2: That was the other part that was a little bit confusing.
Speaker 2: She felt like you were being flirty with her.
Speaker 9: I was being flattering time. She's dropping hints about being single,
Speaker 9: but she was on a date. I don't need your pity.
Speaker 2: The compliments, though, do get misconstrued during the holidays, like
Speaker 2: when I sat on Santa's lap and he's like, you
Speaker 2: look like a good little boy. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 2: didn't take that one the wrong way.
Speaker 3: Say thanks, daddy. Well, that one was on me.
Speaker 2: I'm curious, though, Bryce, how long have you been in
Speaker 2: a relationship with this girlfriend Helen.
Speaker 9: We just started dating a few weeks ago, so I
Speaker 9: don't really know her well enough.
Speaker 2: I want to help you already shopping for her, So
Speaker 2: it's a newer relationship.
Speaker 3: That's interesting.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't want to be alone during the holidays.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you sound like a catch when you say.
Speaker 2: Maybe you guys don't have to be alone for the
Speaker 2: holidays if you meet up one more time and we'll
Speaker 2: pay for that meetup.
Speaker 11: Oh oh no, if you're talking about us, no chance.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go, Para.
Speaker 9: I don't know. I don't know, Parah. I mean, I
Speaker 9: could use a new suit for New Year's Eve.
Speaker 11: I'll help you shop as long as you're very clear
Speaker 11: that's what it is I'm going to be doing.
Speaker 3: Hey see, we're helping.
Speaker 9: I was thinking about getting some sexy lingerie for Helen.
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, dirty old man.
Speaker 10: Broke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm trying to look at the positives of
Speaker 2: that phone call, and I think, on the bright side,
Speaker 2: at least everybody came away from that with something valuable.
Speaker 4: Is there a side to that one?
Speaker 10: You think?
Speaker 3: I think?
Speaker 2: Well, Bryce was able to get his holiday shopping done,
Speaker 2: his girlfriend got a nice new robe, Helen Jane got
Speaker 2: paid for helping facilitate that situation sketches me out, and
Speaker 2: our listener who came to us for help got some
Speaker 2: holiday closure.
Speaker 7: Well that's not really what she was looking for.
Speaker 2: It's not what she expected, but at least she can
Speaker 2: take away the important lesson never ever data coworker or
Speaker 2: help anybody ever. Well, and that's a holiday message that
Speaker 2: we can endorse on this show.
Speaker 12: Or maybe the message would be a new year, new
Speaker 12: job for you, like that company is filled with some condescending,
Speaker 12: drama filled people.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Well, if she doesn't like that, she certainly
Speaker 2: shouldn't work here. Yeah, but Mallet or a loved one whatever,
Speaker 2: like to get a second date update for yourself, make
Speaker 2: sure to go to the Brook and Jeffrey website. You
Speaker 2: could submit there or email the show. We'll call the
Speaker 2: person who wasn't calling you back
