Speaker 1: The second day. When you're on a dating site, the
Speaker 1: first thing that everybody notices is the profile pick. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And for most men, that photo is of themselves shirtless
Speaker 1: holding a giant fish truck in the background around us,
Speaker 1: you know, they're out hiking on some trail for that
Speaker 1: one day that they went hiking, or it's just them
Speaker 1: laying on a giant pile of cash. Oh yeah, algorithm.
Speaker 1: For women, it's photos of them hiking, eating a really
Speaker 1: nice fish, and then handing over a pile of cash
Speaker 1: for a new handbag. True to life. But one of
Speaker 1: our listeners, Josh, has emailed the show after he saw
Speaker 1: a woman's profile pick online and it sucked him in instantly.
Speaker 1: Really now he wants our help. Josh, Welcome to the show,
Speaker 1: going guys, dude, I'm so curious about the pick you saw.
Speaker 1: What was it? I mean, what about it sucked you in? Okay? Well,
Speaker 1: her name is Erica and she was volunteering for Habit
Speaker 1: for Humanities. Oh what are you doing on here? Roon
Speaker 1: new in our faith in men right now? Is it
Speaker 1: that you're attracted to the fact that she does charity work?
Speaker 1: Are you just like the fact that she was in
Speaker 1: like a hard hat and with like work gloves on,
Speaker 1: like you like a girl that's good with her hands
Speaker 1: can build a house, because that's my fantasy for sure.
Speaker 1: All the above, it is cool that she was doing something.
Speaker 1: It's good for other people. But also, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't want to say I want to front like. She
Speaker 1: looked really good too, show me your callous's girl is
Speaker 1: like girl dressing up like Bob the Builder. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you reached out to Erica. How did that go? I
Speaker 1: went good. We talked for a bit and eventually decided
Speaker 1: that we would get together. We went out for some coffee. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you keeping it casual and what was it like
Speaker 1: that first time you saw her in person? It didn't
Speaker 1: disappoint I mean, she was just as beautiful as she
Speaker 1: was in the profile picture. I don't know why I
Speaker 1: picture her showing up to coffee and like a flagger
Speaker 1: vag Josh just had it in his backpack. He's like, hey, girl,
Speaker 1: put on these gloves. That's awesome. Did she seem excited
Speaker 1: to see you two? Like? Not disappointed that I couldn't
Speaker 1: read into her hat oryth like that, But she seemed fine, Okay, good?
Speaker 1: She didn't gag. Yeah, no, I didn't know so much.
Speaker 1: We only were there for twenty minutes, but it didn't
Speaker 1: end there, so maybe that's a good time. Oh that
Speaker 1: is a good sign. Okay, coffee was the first stop.
Speaker 1: What was next? Yeah, we just well, we're really close
Speaker 1: to the park, so we ended up deciding to just
Speaker 1: walk around and continue talking. Okay, As of now, this
Speaker 1: day sounds great because if yeah, I like you already,
Speaker 1: she would definitely not have hung out with you after
Speaker 1: the coffee. I'm going to ask you the same question
Speaker 1: that I asked my grandpa, How did walking go? Well?
Speaker 1: But him hurt? You know, I'm bad back, I'm no.
Speaker 1: We we chatted and it was just really good conversation.
Speaker 1: Would you connect over um just life? I mean, like,
Speaker 1: you know, she's going to school, wanting to do more
Speaker 1: of yourself. I wanted to do more for myself as well.
Speaker 1: And then I found out that she's into traveling and
Speaker 1: that's kind of one of the reasons she signed out
Speaker 1: for the Habitat of Humanities. Okay, and you sound like
Speaker 1: a guy who is a really good listener, Like you'd
Speaker 1: be someone that asked insightful questions like I think that's
Speaker 1: all positive? Was there any moments though that stand out
Speaker 1: as being kind of weird or kind of awkward to you.
Speaker 1: Just one um. So, I like, we were walking and
Speaker 1: I guess I wanted to impress her. So we were
Speaker 1: passing by the bank a bank a bank okay, and
Speaker 1: there was a guy handling our balloons. So I don't
Speaker 1: know why I thought this would impress her, and I
Speaker 1: thought it be funny. But I picked up one of
Speaker 1: the balloons, I gave her one, I took one, and
Speaker 1: then I proceeded to like shuck up some of the
Speaker 1: helium and sang her a little bit of Prince's little
Speaker 1: red Corvette with helium. And you don't think it's funny, Like, no,
Speaker 1: you like, I literally didn't even laugh at all. No,
Speaker 1: I don't know that. Maybe it's funnier with a helium
Speaker 1: voice because it sounds a little bit more like Prince. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, what was her reaction when you started serenading her?
Speaker 1: She kind of looked at me a little awkwardly, like
Speaker 1: I think she might have been a little embarrassed. I
Speaker 1: was like, is this a nineteen seventies? But I kept going.
Speaker 1: I committed to it on a percent, and then she
Speaker 1: gave me she gave me a little bit of a laugh. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so you kept going until she's like, sound, I could
Speaker 1: see how maybe maybe that would be a little bit uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Killed her father. Yeah, I'm waiting to accident. Everybody's made
Speaker 1: a bad joke on a date, yea, all the time.
Speaker 1: So how did the date end? Well? I took it
Speaker 1: to her car and oh god, so maybe maybe there
Speaker 1: was two So I something do a little bit more
Speaker 1: helium and just said goodbye one more time. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the helium that was his closer. It's not hot the
Speaker 1: second time, totally. Okay. So so what's happened since then?
Speaker 1: Have you been staying in contact with her or oh? Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: so we've still been in touch with each other by
Speaker 1: a text? Okay, yeah, I don't know. It just maybe
Speaker 1: she's not feeling me the same way as she was
Speaker 1: before by how we're talking to each other. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I'll say, you didn't leave her a good note, right,
Speaker 1: Like that's how you remember somebody exactly how you love
Speaker 1: the deal and like instead of remembering you as this
Speaker 1: like masculine awesome dude, it's like a fourteen year old
Speaker 1: with bad jokes, you know. Yeah, well, we're gonna find out,
Speaker 1: we're gonna play a song, we'll come back, we'll call
Speaker 1: Erica for you, and we'll try and get you a
Speaker 1: second date. Update right after our listeners aren't feeling second
Speaker 1: We all dread it, the first date joke that doesn't land.
Speaker 1: You want to share these oysters, because if not, that
Speaker 1: would be mighty shellfish. Check please check, please like it.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's wrong. Shirt popped off when I said,
Speaker 1: it's honestly why I married my husband. That's exactly what
Speaker 1: happened to one of our listeners, Josh, because he tried
Speaker 1: to get his date Erica to laugh when they were
Speaker 1: going on a walk around town by sucking the helium
Speaker 1: out of a balloon and serenading her on the street
Speaker 1: to the Prince song Little Red Corvett. It was a risk,
Speaker 1: it was It was a risk, and didn't get quite
Speaker 1: the reaction that Josh was hoping to get humor, which
Speaker 1: is why Josh tried it a second time, sucking impedily
Speaker 1: and before he said goodbye to her and she drove away,
Speaker 1: like Josh. As a professional comedian, all right, you never
Speaker 1: see a comic have a bad joke and then go
Speaker 1: hold on, guys, let me do it again on bro.
Speaker 1: I think that's your big problem, and you kept trying.
Speaker 1: Probably probably Okay, you know though, Josh, you sound awesome.
Speaker 1: I think we got a shot. Yeah you want? You
Speaker 1: want Josh's phone number for after we're done with this.
Speaker 1: I like my husband, Okay. Yeah, Well it's true. We
Speaker 1: all are a fan of you, Josh, and we're going
Speaker 1: to try our best to get you a second Maybe
Speaker 1: not all Alexis is waiting. I'm deciding she's waiting to
Speaker 1: get a last's rich yet in the first half. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get abe. But the rest of us are
Speaker 1: going to try really hard to get you a dating listen.
Speaker 1: But are you feeling ready? Man? I guess so, yeah,
Speaker 1: here we go. I'm gonna dial Erica's a number. Let's
Speaker 1: do this. Hello. Hey is this Erica? Yes? This hey Erica.
Speaker 1: My name is jeff from the radio show Brook and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the Morning. How are you doing? Um? I'm well,
Speaker 1: how how are you? Guys? So I win something? Maybe
Speaker 1: we're doing pretty good. We're we're calling on behalf of
Speaker 1: one of our listeners who's been trying to get a
Speaker 1: hold of you. His name's Josh. Okay, do you know
Speaker 1: who who Jeffrey's talking about? I went on an awkward
Speaker 1: date with a guy named John oh an awkward? Why
Speaker 1: Why do you say it was awkward? Maybe it's a
Speaker 1: different Josh. Yeah, are we talking about the same Josh
Speaker 1: who you went to coffee with and you took a
Speaker 1: walk around the park? Yep? That was the awkward date? Okay?
Speaker 1: Which which part of it was awkward to you? Because
Speaker 1: what we're doing here is something called a second date update.
Speaker 1: We're trying to help Josh figure out if there was
Speaker 1: something about your day together that didn't go well. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, okay, Oh, it sounds like you were ready
Speaker 1: to like dish. Um. I guess so. I thought it
Speaker 1: was going really well for a while and then um
Speaker 1: he brought up my profile picture which I'm in construction
Speaker 1: where like got the vestne and like a hammer in
Speaker 1: my hand because I was working for a Habitat for
Speaker 1: Humanity for a while. We heard that, by the way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but so he brought it up at coffee and I
Speaker 1: was like asking me about the outfit and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, like they have it's like protocol, that's what
Speaker 1: you wear when you're like yeah, and then he like
Speaker 1: brought it up again while we were walking and he
Speaker 1: was like, do you dress up in any other outfit?
Speaker 1: Like performed? Like what do you mean? What is he
Speaker 1: talking about? Was there just like maybe an awkward time
Speaker 1: in the conversation and he was that's what you go,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like maybe he was just missing
Speaker 1: miss speaking. He asked me, if I have dressed up
Speaker 1: like a police officer, why would you dress up like
Speaker 1: I don't think there's habitat for police officers? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of a weird one to ask.
Speaker 1: Did he drop it after you told him? No? Um? No?
Speaker 1: He asked me again, that's why what did you say?
Speaker 1: Did you say? Did do you want there to be
Speaker 1: other uniforms? Is that what you're trying to do here?
Speaker 1: I was kind of just confused by it, and I
Speaker 1: thought he was just joking. So I was trying to
Speaker 1: go with it, you know, right, Okay, I could see that.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, yeah, if I've ever addressed up like
Speaker 1: I was in the army, Okay, all like really, okay,
Speaker 1: I think have you again? Okay, But here's what. So
Speaker 1: I was driving home and I was thinking about it.
Speaker 1: I turned on the radio and we all know the
Speaker 1: tongue why MCA, And then I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: like I started being about the village people. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what he asked. Is there's the construction worker, the cop
Speaker 1: and the guy from the army. You don't have to
Speaker 1: tell me. I have to post on my wall. But
Speaker 1: so what do you think was behind that? Like do
Speaker 1: you think he wanted you to dress like the village people? Maybe?
Speaker 1: I just thought it was kind of weird. I was like,
Speaker 1: maybe he has a weird settish. I don't know why
Speaker 1: you then, I mean that was the case. There should
Speaker 1: be like a school girl or like something like that.
Speaker 1: But these are all very like well working, very outfit.
Speaker 1: Do you have an oil drill? But honestly, like maybe
Speaker 1: he maybe he was just being awkward, like it's a
Speaker 1: first day, and maybe he was trying to make a
Speaker 1: joke and he never got to the punchline because he
Speaker 1: just felt the awkwardness happening in I couldn't see that
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, I would love to know it's a punchline. Well,
Speaker 1: we have the perfect way to find out, because actually
Speaker 1: Josh is on the other line listening and wanting to
Speaker 1: talk to you right now. Oh Josh, Hello, awkward helium Josh.
Speaker 1: I was hoping he was just going to bust out
Speaker 1: to in the navy. Well, no, it wasn't going like
Speaker 1: I thought, so i'd the punchline didn't come out. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: so Brooke is right. So yeah. So I mean, after
Speaker 1: the helium jokes fell flat on me, M came to
Speaker 1: my head and I was like, oh, if I name
Speaker 1: all these other things, maybe she will find it hilarious.
Speaker 1: She got it, but but instead she just never got
Speaker 1: the joke. As a person with missus jokes a lot,
Speaker 1: it's never funny. Is your entire sense of humor based
Speaker 1: around seventies male musicians? Were you dying when you heard
Speaker 1: her say that she thought you had a village people?
Speaker 1: I mean, you're on the other line listening to say
Speaker 1: it was a little traumatic, Josh. Josh, don't be embarrassed
Speaker 1: about your attraction to the village people. There's absolutely nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with that. There are a sexy group of men. Okay,
Speaker 1: they are very good singers, they know how to dance.
Speaker 1: There's a repet I'm slowly here we go along. You
Speaker 1: are so But the good thing is I will say,
Speaker 1: you sound embarrassed, which means you obviously realize now that
Speaker 1: it wasn't a good joke, and at least we know
Speaker 1: it wasn't joke. Yes, I mean, so now you're hearing
Speaker 1: Erica the story behind this weird conversation is it? Is
Speaker 1: it making you feel a little bit better about Josh,
Speaker 1: like you should talk to him about it? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I guess like he should have finished the joke.
Speaker 1: It was just like weird or though, I mean, face
Speaker 1: was your face was so like not into it that
Speaker 1: I guess the third time was the charm and I went, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is not going anywhere. Yeah, I mean, you did
Speaker 1: call me on a radio show, so I don't know
Speaker 1: if they helped you out with that joke, like it
Speaker 1: might be a good way to hide your weird fetish.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have suggested that you'd be like an army
Speaker 1: outfit or anything like. No, no, not at all. Look,
Speaker 1: I thought you were very beautiful in your construction outfit,
Speaker 1: but that's not what got me into sit. That was
Speaker 1: just a bonus. Like, I don't meet quality people like
Speaker 1: you on dating sites very often. Yeah, he only meets
Speaker 1: them at the village people concerts. It's amazing. I realized
Speaker 1: it's too much to leave total anymore. Podcast. There might
Speaker 1: be a chance for you to actually hear the end
Speaker 1: of whatever joke he was trying to tell you. Erica,
Speaker 1: you think that's the cell? No, definitely, whatever. We just
Speaker 1: want you to go out with Josh one more time
Speaker 1: and we'll pay with it. What do you say. Let
Speaker 1: me hear you say, yes, I want to Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: go straight to your heart. We will send you a
Speaker 1: new gift car. Come on, that's pretty good. That's the
Speaker 1: Eric answer. Eric. Yes, okay, I yes, but only if
Speaker 1: you finish your punch. I love it. That's the deal. Okay, Jo,
Speaker 1: that's so cute. Congratulations you guys. Looks like you're gonna
Speaker 1: be going out one more time. Awesome. I appreciate it, guys.
Speaker 1: I'm just happy we got a young man broke and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning. No, you did it, you know,
Speaker 1: yeah I did. But listening back to that, I wonder
Speaker 1: if that guy now really did just piggyback on what
Speaker 1: we were saying and go like, oh yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: I was totally it was just a joke. There was
Speaker 1: no evidence that he didn't dressing up like a construction
Speaker 1: worker or army person. I mean that's pretty safe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one of the guy asked that to a girl, right
Speaker 1: because like what I mean, what if he like really
Speaker 1: was into village people fetish, Like, would anybody have a
Speaker 1: problem with that? I I mean, as long as it
Speaker 1: wasn't that we had to listen to the music here
Speaker 1: looking for an invitation. I mean, this is more than
Speaker 1: two people in the village people. So yeah, I'm happy
Speaker 1: that we were able to send them out on another date. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: to turn this one up for him. Okay, so listen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's let's boost this song just for you, Josh, good
Speaker 1: one on your date. He's getting excitedly turned it down,
Speaker 1: and turn it down, turn it down. Yeah, we don't
Speaker 1: want to just get too excited. I remember, if you
Speaker 1: ever want to get a second date update, you can
Speaker 1: always email the show. We'll call the person who wasn't
Speaker 1: calling you back.
