Speaker 1: Second date update. If you've ever been set up by
Speaker 1: a friend for a blind date, you know how awkward
Speaker 1: that can be, especially if the friend who's setting you
Speaker 1: up is Brook.
Speaker 2: My god, no, no, I am so good at this.
Speaker 2: One of my friends actually got married to the person
Speaker 2: I said her up.
Speaker 1: But the problem is Brook is notoriously competitive. So right
Speaker 1: after she introduces you to the date, Brook undoes an
Speaker 1: extra button and tries to flirt and then steal the
Speaker 1: guy right back. Mommy can give it, take you. That's
Speaker 1: how it's done. Apparently isn't as awkward as the blind
Speaker 1: date situation. One of our listeners found herself tossed into
Speaker 1: the other night the Brook button yourself back up and
Speaker 1: let's say, hi Robin, welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: Hi, thanks my buttons.
Speaker 1: We're in a safe space now, but it's still uncomfortable
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah. So you went out on a
Speaker 1: blind date set up by a friend.
Speaker 3: I did it was something else, did I did?
Speaker 4: I hear the sales pitch from your friend, like why
Speaker 4: you should do this?
Speaker 1: Let's tell us how it started.
Speaker 3: All right, So I'm recently single. Okay, my friends were
Speaker 3: just really encouraging me to go on and get out there.
Speaker 3: I don't know, jump back on the horse. And it
Speaker 3: had been a long time since I'd been on any
Speaker 3: sort of dating app.
Speaker 5: I thought you were going to say any horse, Well
Speaker 5: that too, okay, And what did that feel like on.
Speaker 2: The dating apps for your first time in a while.
Speaker 3: Well, I wasn't really sure what to do, and so
Speaker 3: my friend, like my bestie, said I can make a
Speaker 3: profile for you.
Speaker 2: Okay, well.
Speaker 1: Dangerous.
Speaker 3: I was a little hesitant, but I mean she does
Speaker 3: know me the best, so I just trusted her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I has my best friend to do it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would argue my mom knows me better
Speaker 1: than anybody else, and she set up a dating profile
Speaker 1: for me and that turned out freaking horribly. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe that's different. I'm sure your friend
Speaker 1: was kinder than my mom was. Tell us how it went,
Speaker 1: how did it go?
Speaker 3: So basically, I get a call from her like a
Speaker 3: week after. I guess she's been really monitoring my Oh she's.
Speaker 2: Still logged in.
Speaker 1: We're exciting.
Speaker 5: I thought, like, she set it up for you and
Speaker 5: then she let you go, like you know, give you wings,
Speaker 5: let you fly.
Speaker 1: It sounds like she took full control over your dating profile.
Speaker 3: I guess I wasn't ready for the wings just yet.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: He told me that she found the perfect match for me, Like, Hey,
Speaker 3: we're going to go to this nice bar tomorrow and
Speaker 3: I'm gonna come with you.
Speaker 2: What way?
Speaker 1: Now she's pulling a Brook move. But does that mean
Speaker 1: she told the guy, Hey, I'm setting up my friend
Speaker 1: or was she acting like you?
Speaker 3: She said she was setting up me.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, so there's honesty from the beginning.
Speaker 1: Before you went to the bar, did she show you
Speaker 1: at least a photo of the guy that you're about
Speaker 1: to meet?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: No, No, she didn't.
Speaker 1: It was a real blind.
Speaker 3: Definition blind date. Yeah, and I was like, okay, well,
Speaker 3: can I at least get his name? And no?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, So is he there when you walk into the bar?
Speaker 6: She didn't know.
Speaker 2: Well, her friend would know. Her friend would tell her.
Speaker 3: I didn't know, but I will say. Right after walking in,
Speaker 3: this really cute guy comes up to me and he says, Oky,
Speaker 3: you must be Robin.
Speaker 2: Okay, and he's cute.
Speaker 3: She picked a good one. His name is Jay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: Well, good work on your friend.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. So here's where it gets crazy. My
Speaker 3: friend comes in and then she shows me two more guys.
Speaker 3: She's like, hey, they hide a cal and Jack. And
Speaker 3: at this point I'm really confused.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm confused too.
Speaker 3: So she made a very public announcement and I quote,
Speaker 3: this is my hot best friend Robin. She's recently single.
Speaker 3: I all here to give her her own TV experience
Speaker 3: as the Bachelor.
Speaker 1: Ret No, oh my god.
Speaker 3: Invited like twenty guys.
Speaker 2: It was men. Twenty men were waiting for just one men,
Speaker 2: but not all of them new.
Speaker 3: Not all of them new, And like I saw a
Speaker 3: few guys walk out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would walk out.
Speaker 2: That wasn't because you. They just couldn't handle the competition.
Speaker 1: You know, how did you feel when your friend sprung
Speaker 1: that on you, that suddenly we're going to be meeting
Speaker 1: a bunch of dudes all in one night.
Speaker 6: I was horrified.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So what did you say to your friend?
Speaker 2: Was she did she get that? You were? Like mortified?
Speaker 3: I think she got it. But she pushes me, which
Speaker 3: most of the time is a good thing. Okay, okay,
Speaker 3: you know we balanced each other out.
Speaker 1: So did you start talking to all these dudes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just I just imagine her with a clipboard
Speaker 4: her friend in a corner, just crossing names off.
Speaker 2: Like, all right, next, come on, I got to organize.
Speaker 2: It's a casting call.
Speaker 1: She's doing side interviews.
Speaker 3: She just might have done that. I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 1: My god, I mean, did you end up like vibing
Speaker 1: with any of these dudes?
Speaker 3: Surprisingly?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, they're at least like three or four that
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 1: Really so, are we calling four guys right now? What's
Speaker 1: going on? Which one are we calling?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 3: I really like the first guy that was there right in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you told us his name Jay.
Speaker 7: Jay.
Speaker 2: Got really distracted by the twenty dudes forgotten it and
Speaker 2: why did Why did Jay stand out?
Speaker 3: He was just like really smart and son. We had
Speaker 3: good like banter.
Speaker 6: And all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's on time. He was the first one there.
Speaker 1: So Jay was your favorite from the Bachelorette experience?
Speaker 3: Like him? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Did you ever end up going out with him again
Speaker 1: after the bar?
Speaker 3: So we exchanged numbers, okay, and we've been texting and
Speaker 3: all that, and it was really nice. But recently I've
Speaker 3: been kind of putting in more energy to the whole
Speaker 3: trying to plan something part of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like he's fading a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I just I don't know why keeps pulling away?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 2: Interesting? I mean, how long has it been since your
Speaker 2: guys is first meeting?
Speaker 3: Now, I guess it hasn't been that long, like a
Speaker 3: few weeks.
Speaker 2: That's a long time. Yeah, that's a long time. Did
Speaker 2: you ever go out with any of the other guys now?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Is the one and only.
Speaker 2: All eggs one basket hunt?
Speaker 1: All right, thank god, here's what we're doing. We're gonna
Speaker 1: come back. We're gonna call Jay for you, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna invite him into the Fantasy suite to ask him
Speaker 1: did he all go out with you? One morning? With
Speaker 1: your second date? Up games right after that second date update.
Speaker 1: Anybody who's seen The Bachelor or The Bachelorette knows the
Speaker 1: relationships that start on those shows have a notoriously high
Speaker 1: success rate of going I lost seasons. I'd say almost
Speaker 1: three of those couples are still on speaking terms, which
Speaker 1: is pretty good. I'd like, we may get divorced before
Speaker 1: the marriage. But I bring it up because one of
Speaker 1: our listeners, Robin, had her own bachelorette experience the other night,
Speaker 1: did not know what was happening until she arrived at
Speaker 1: the bar and her friend surprised her with twenty dudes.
Speaker 1: It was hero, this is not your moment.
Speaker 6: This is.
Speaker 1: Why buttons back up, please. Robin spooks to all of
Speaker 1: them that night, at least the ones who didn't immediately
Speaker 1: leave when they found out what was happening. But the
Speaker 1: guy that she liked the best was actually the first
Speaker 1: one she met, named Jay. They had a great time
Speaker 1: after that, so we do apologize for broke. After that night,
Speaker 1: Robin feels like she's been putting more effort into like
Speaker 1: seeing him again. She wants some help moving things along.
Speaker 4: What we didn't ask is have you asked your best
Speaker 4: friend for advice before you came to us?
Speaker 2: Or we are we done with her advice?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I think I'm taking just a little break.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, we'll go back.
Speaker 1: To her after we're done calling Jay here. First, Let's
Speaker 1: see if he picks up and has any explanation, and
Speaker 1: if he.
Speaker 2: Doesn't want to go out with you again. Bonus, you
Speaker 2: got some backup numbers still right from that night. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, okay, the overflow guys.
Speaker 1: Maybe let's just trying to focus on Jay for now.
Speaker 1: I'm going to dial his number let's hopefully he picks up.
Speaker 1: Here we go. Hello, Hey, we're looking to speak with
Speaker 1: Jay speaking. Hey Jay, you are speaking with a radio
Speaker 1: show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 7: Good morning, Oh wow, hey, good morning. How you doing?
Speaker 2: Cuttle voice? I think he has an accent, sir, I mean, no,
Speaker 2: wonder he was the first one.
Speaker 1: You sound pretty comfortable being on the radio here, do
Speaker 1: you do you listen.
Speaker 7: Every now and then? Yeah, I would say, yeah, oh
Speaker 7: no accent.
Speaker 1: Sorry, we can turn Brooks microphone off.
Speaker 2: I am just jokeing.
Speaker 1: We're all very excited to talk to you because we've
Speaker 1: heard about you through one of our listeners that you
Speaker 1: met the other night and she had a really good
Speaker 1: time with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well a couple of weeks bill, right.
Speaker 1: Huh it's someone that you met named Robin.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, you definitely remember Robin.
Speaker 2: Bro that's like the craziest Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I definitely do. You're You're absolutely right, I
Speaker 7: remember Robin.
Speaker 4: And she didn't say like you're ghosting or anything like that.
Speaker 4: It sounds like you guys have been chatting a little
Speaker 4: bit via text.
Speaker 7: We have, but it's it's been pretty nice.
Speaker 1: I could say, yeah, okay and we've heard about how
Speaker 1: you and Robin met that first night, with the way
Speaker 1: that her friend set up the big thing at the bar,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm wondering, how what was that like for you.
Speaker 7: I'm actually really surprised she even told you. She explained
Speaker 7: to you guys what happened.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, did you know going in that her friend
Speaker 4: was setting up like a bachelorette experience.
Speaker 7: Well, that's the thing. I walked in there. I'm expecting
Speaker 7: this nice, quiet meetups.
Speaker 1: Oh my don't know you Yeah, you had no idea.
Speaker 7: I had no idea what was going on. No, but
Speaker 7: I walk in the door and it's like a conveyor
Speaker 7: belt of people lived up.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I want to crawl into all that.
Speaker 2: Poor girl.
Speaker 7: Honestly, I felt really bad for her because she seemed shocked.
Speaker 7: I don't really think she walked in there expecting this
Speaker 7: to be like a party for Robin.
Speaker 1: You know, nobody anything but the friends. I think it's
Speaker 1: safe to say that she had no idea either. So
Speaker 1: you guys were both in the same boat of surprise.
Speaker 7: We were both shocked, which I think is why we
Speaker 7: actually hit it off, because you know, she was having
Speaker 7: conversations with other people and I will say, it looks
Speaker 7: like she was hitting it off with some people, but
Speaker 7: like we really matched on the fact that it was
Speaker 7: really uncomfortable to be standing there in a room directed
Speaker 7: just for you.
Speaker 4: So what if you guys like you sounds like you
Speaker 4: had a real connection and you're excited.
Speaker 2: Were you going to ask her out and you just
Speaker 2: don't got around to it?
Speaker 7: Or so here's the thing. My friends we were talking
Speaker 7: about it and they said, Wow, that was actually a
Speaker 7: really cool thing, and maybe you should try that for yourself.
Speaker 7: Why don't we do this for you?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 1: Wait what Yeah, you're doing the same thing as she's doing.
Speaker 7: So I gave them the password for my dating app
Speaker 7: and they kind of just wait, went from there and
Speaker 7: set it up.
Speaker 2: And if that's the case, why isn't Robin invited? She
Speaker 2: should be on the list.
Speaker 1: That's not very fair to Robin, who like chose you
Speaker 1: that night. Out of all the guys she met at
Speaker 1: her Bachelor a lot.
Speaker 4: More girls are gonna walk out the room when they
Speaker 4: probably a.
Speaker 1: Zero unless it's open bar that night, and the guys
Speaker 1: are the thirsty ones.
Speaker 7: I just figured that if she was doing it, maybe
Speaker 7: I should do it.
Speaker 4: So wait, so you want to go out with Robin,
Speaker 4: but you want to wait and see what your options
Speaker 4: are is out and I'm.
Speaker 7: Sure Robin's going out with like three or four of
Speaker 7: the other guys from that night, So it's probably not
Speaker 7: just me.
Speaker 1: You know, that wasn't what we heard from her, But
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 7: True.
Speaker 1: We do have a way that we could find out,
Speaker 1: because I need to let you know, Jay that there
Speaker 1: is someone waiting out in the secret limo outside of
Speaker 1: the studio, the one to talk to you.
Speaker 2: We would hand out carnation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, surprise, it's Robin.
Speaker 2: She's on the phone.
Speaker 7: She's on the phone. What do you mean she's on
Speaker 7: the phone.
Speaker 1: I mean she's been on the other line listening this
Speaker 1: entire time. That's how this second.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Hi, Hi Robin.
Speaker 6: Hey this is really weird.
Speaker 7: Yeah a little bit. Have you been though?
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't what kind of question is that?
Speaker 3: From what I just heard, it sounds like you're just
Speaker 3: waiting for something better to come along.
Speaker 7: Well, I wouldn't say that's the case. I mean I
Speaker 7: was exploring options, aren't you exploring options? That night? It
Speaker 7: was casual. I like, yeah, I still like.
Speaker 6: You, Okay, I'm.
Speaker 7: Honestly I mean, the reason I haven't made like an
Speaker 7: official date yet is because I'm I'm of a little
Speaker 7: worried that I might really get attached.
Speaker 6: To you and make me you know, God forbid, my
Speaker 6: every love story needs like a little test with twenty
Speaker 6: random women.
Speaker 4: But isn't that the whole problem with dating right now
Speaker 4: is you always feel like there's something better, like just
Speaker 4: like the choices are endless right now, and so you're
Speaker 4: isn't like you scroll through the app and it's just
Speaker 4: choice after choice after choice, if your choice. At some
Speaker 4: point you got to take yourself out of that like
Speaker 4: hamster wheel and say this is.
Speaker 1: It Hamster's having fun on the wheel right now. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but Robin, what I'm hearing here is this bachelor pad
Speaker 1: event for him has not happened yet, and it does
Speaker 1: seem like you two actually do get along pretty well.
Speaker 1: So maybe right now you want to try and talk
Speaker 1: to him and convince him to cancel his upcoming bachelor.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I can't force you to do anything,
Speaker 3: I know, that's not even my place.
Speaker 6: However, I will say.
Speaker 3: If the only thing holding you back is just the
Speaker 3: fact that you think you're gonna like me too much,
Speaker 3: I mean that's a little silly.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, that's a fair point.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I don't want to let my friends down though, either.
Speaker 2: You know, I.
Speaker 4: Honestly think if you go to that and you have
Speaker 4: a date with her before, you'll be able to compare.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Book is plotting her key party ida like she
Speaker 1: always does. But I personally think that in my opinion,
Speaker 1: I honestly believe that you should call off the event
Speaker 1: because you say you like Robin as much as you
Speaker 1: say it, prove it take her out on a date,
Speaker 1: a date that we would pay.
Speaker 7: I think that's a great idea. Okay, but I can't
Speaker 7: do that. Oh why, No matter what after the event,
Speaker 7: I'm gonna text you. I'm gonna call you.
Speaker 2: Lucky you Robin.
Speaker 1: You want to say to Jay before we end this?
Speaker 3: You know, I know that I probably shouldn't. I know
Speaker 3: that I should like be a priority. But let's just
Speaker 3: go on one day.
Speaker 1: Wait what after all that you're going to go out
Speaker 1: with him?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I really think that they're going to work out. I
Speaker 2: know you think I do.
Speaker 4: I think that he's gonna go and there's gonna be
Speaker 4: like not a great selection of people that his friends picked.
Speaker 2: Out for him, and he's going to be like, I'm
Speaker 2: an idiot. Robin's amazing.
Speaker 1: And you know, the dudes are way worse at picking
Speaker 1: out girls.
Speaker 2: I bet the half of them are catfishes.
Speaker 1: You would stick around if a guy said to you, Hey,
Speaker 1: I really really like you, but I'm going to date
Speaker 1: twenty other women. First, I haven't even gone.
Speaker 7: Out of a date.
Speaker 2: She doesn't have DIBs on anything.
Speaker 1: They can't go on a date as twenty other ones lined.
Speaker 2: Up for who does it? These days?
Speaker 1: I give up on relationships and love, don't you, Jack?
Speaker 1: You know what? They're still hard for you. You can
Speaker 1: email the show. We'll call that person and then the
Speaker 1: twenty five other people that you're also sort of interested in,
Speaker 1: ye try and get you a second date.
Speaker 2: That's why this segment works, where everyone gets a date.
Speaker 1: Rooking Jeffrey in the morning,
