Speaker 1: Second date date, Alexis, how many times has Brooke offered
Speaker 1: to set you up on a date with a guy
Speaker 1: she knows and you've said things good? Yeah? What do
Speaker 1: you not trust Brooke to have any cool, young, hunky
Speaker 1: male friends for you? I think we have different definitions
Speaker 1: a cool, young hunky Yeah? Or are you worried that
Speaker 1: you're going to show up and it's going to be
Speaker 1: a play date with her son? That might be better
Speaker 1: than who you guys are almost the same age? Yeah, couple.
Speaker 1: One day, well, one of our listeners, Lily was fighting
Speaker 1: the same way Alexis was. Her friend wanted to set
Speaker 1: her up on a date, and Lily kept on saying no, Lily,
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. How you doing? Hey, I'm good.
Speaker 1: It's good to be here. I mean, I take it
Speaker 1: your friend wasn't good help because you're calling us instead.
Speaker 1: Actually that's the thing. My friend ended up being great help.
Speaker 1: Oh oh that's not usual. Yeah, well, so she hasn't
Speaker 1: been trying to set me up for a long time.
Speaker 1: I've been single for probably about a year now. Is
Speaker 1: she one that like sets you up with anyone she knows?
Speaker 1: Or is it the same person she's been trying to
Speaker 1: hook you up with. Yeah, yeah, the same person. Oh
Speaker 1: well that's weird too, because now it's like this guy
Speaker 1: can't get a date either, So that's smart. Well, hey,
Speaker 1: you're both red flags though, Yeah, very vibrant heard red
Speaker 1: and red mate green. Yeah, so you eventually met up
Speaker 1: with him? Yeah? Well I kept saying no, you know,
Speaker 1: because my whole idea was like, look, I can find
Speaker 1: a guy on my own, you know, like I don't
Speaker 1: want to ruin our friendship if things get weird, like
Speaker 1: the guy doesn't work for it. And that's why, you know,
Speaker 1: I think she just might feel bad. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to like make things weird between us. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's a different level of pressure when it's all right, Okay,
Speaker 1: do you know this guy's name? Yeah, his name was Matt,
Speaker 1: Matt Matt. And did you get to like look at
Speaker 1: his socials? Like, did she give you any proof of
Speaker 1: what the goods were beforehand? No? She was just like
Speaker 1: take it from me, trust me. This guy a winner,
Speaker 1: Like I think you would really hit it off. She
Speaker 1: must be persistent for you to finally cave. He was,
Speaker 1: because I didn't cave. She tricked me. Oh what do
Speaker 1: you mean, yes, we had a big work event the
Speaker 1: other week. Do you like celebrate the big workwin. So
Speaker 1: we all went out to the club and after the club,
Speaker 1: somebody was like, hey, let's bring the party back to
Speaker 1: my play. So we all ended up at a house
Speaker 1: party and he was there and that was by design. Yeah, definitely. Okay,
Speaker 1: So what did you think when you saw Matt So? Well,
Speaker 1: he's easy on the eyes, he's great, and we ended
Speaker 1: up just chatting casual style, um, because you didn't do
Speaker 1: the formal chat with him chat he didn't take a
Speaker 1: large bow. Yeah that's nice. But did he know that
Speaker 1: your friend had been trying to hook you two up?
Speaker 1: Because sometimes that's really awkward, but it's also could be
Speaker 1: something new bond over. He didn't say oh, we didn't
Speaker 1: say you don't know if you knew? Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But at one point in our conversation he just drops
Speaker 1: that he doesn't know how to drive, and I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: what is like? Is it that he never tried to learn,
Speaker 1: or that he tried so many times and failed that
Speaker 1: he gave up could get a license? I mean, can
Speaker 1: you actually fail that many times? I know, No, he
Speaker 1: just never bothered to learn. It just just wasn't a thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you live in a big city, you really don't
Speaker 1: need trees that just got their license. Yeah it's because
Speaker 1: you're fourteen. Or maybe he's from a wealthy family where
Speaker 1: he has a chauffeur and he doesn't need to learn. Okay,
Speaker 1: thought first time, But it doesn't matter. I mean, was
Speaker 1: that okay with you? Well, so of course it's getting
Speaker 1: late and I'm in a very good food so I'm like,
Speaker 1: hold up, I'm going to teach you how to drive
Speaker 1: right now. Come with me late night, after the club, girl.
Speaker 1: I think after the club, after the house park. Oh no, Basically,
Speaker 1: we went to a nearby mall parking lot and I
Speaker 1: taught him about and drive. It fun because I just
Speaker 1: remember learning to drive with my dad and a lot
Speaker 1: of screaming and yelling at each other, stressful and how
Speaker 1: many casualties were there that night? Thankfully none? It's good.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a fun time. We just drove
Speaker 1: in circles and laughed a lot, and at the end
Speaker 1: he thanked me for teaching him, and there was a
Speaker 1: little kiss. Oh. I thinked my driving instructor the same way.
Speaker 1: Kiss and drive in the Backseaton next, so I drove
Speaker 1: him back to his place. Yeah, he kissed me good
Speaker 1: night and that was it. Oh my god, technically a little.
Speaker 1: I mean the next day we texted back and forth
Speaker 1: a little bit and it was just like a yeah, thanks,
Speaker 1: that was fun. Ha ha ha laughed a lot. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that wasna. He was more lighthearted than that. Oak. Have
Speaker 1: you checked with your friend who was setting you guys up?
Speaker 1: I'm sure she totally knows. Yeah, of course I checked
Speaker 1: with her because I was like, oh my god, you
Speaker 1: were right. He's amazing and we had a great time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: kiss waking out. But no, she hasn't heard from him either,
Speaker 1: and she is just as frustrated about this as I am,
Speaker 1: because for once, her matchmaking skills seem to have worked.
Speaker 1: Yeah right ye d He's like, I'm finally going to
Speaker 1: be able to go on a road. Yeah. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: in another country right now, getting dozens of dates left
Speaker 1: and right. We're gonna find out. We're gonna call him
Speaker 1: in just a minute here and Brooke is gonna backseat
Speaker 1: drive the conversation. And bad of a job I'm doing.
Speaker 1: Somebody needs to be in control. Yeah, your second date
Speaker 1: update right after this second. How many rom coms have
Speaker 1: that scene where one character teaches the other how to
Speaker 1: drive a stick shift through a cornfield? Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: they veer off almost hit a cow and they laugh
Speaker 1: about it and make out for hours in the backseat. Dang,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that. I didn't eat that either. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: who's in that one? Ryan Gosling and the white girl
Speaker 1: here girl. Well, that scene played out in real life
Speaker 1: the other day for our listener, Lily. I don't think
Speaker 1: there are kind I mean, no cows. It was and
Speaker 1: it was just a regular automatic car with a millennial
Speaker 1: who hadn't learned for the first thirty years of his
Speaker 1: life out of job, but she taught him how and
Speaker 1: it turned out to be a great night with laughter
Speaker 1: and kissing. But now the romance is stuck in neutral.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna call this guy and try and kick
Speaker 1: it back into drive sport mode. Yeah. You ready to
Speaker 1: do this, Lily, I'm so ready. Yes, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I think we're like four cylinder show. It's fine in
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm excited for you. It's weird that your
Speaker 1: friend doesn't know either. That was so adamant that you
Speaker 1: two go out. I think that That's the strangest part
Speaker 1: is he's not just calling not you back, but not
Speaker 1: talking to her either. Yeah right, yeah, just like disappeared
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know. Well, let's get some answers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call him right now. We'll see what he
Speaker 1: has to say. Here we go. Hello, Hey, is this
Speaker 1: Matt speaking? Who's this? My name is jeff You may
Speaker 1: have heard this voice before on a radio show called
Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. He doesn't drive. You
Speaker 1: may not listen, that's true. Do you have podcasts? Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with it. Sorry. Uh, well, you're on
Speaker 1: a segment right now called a Second Date Update, and
Speaker 1: we're trying to help one of our listeners get back
Speaker 1: in touch with you after you two hung out the
Speaker 1: other night. Her name's Lily. Oh my god. Oh well
Speaker 1: really is that a good or that? Oh? We can't tell,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't um, I don't really want to
Speaker 1: talk about this. That's okay, okay, okay, I understand your hesitation.
Speaker 1: But this is how the segment works. Like Lily knows
Speaker 1: that she may be hearing something that might be a
Speaker 1: little awkward, a little uncomfortable, but she's just super confused
Speaker 1: after having a really nice time with you the other night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just, Um, is this a very difficult situation really
Speaker 1: on your side? Is it something personal for you then,
Speaker 1: because it sounds pretty easy on her side, she liked you,
Speaker 1: she'd like to go out again. Yeah, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: very much on my side. Okay, Oh all right. Do
Speaker 1: you plan to reach out to Lily at any point?
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just trying to figure out a way to
Speaker 1: do it. What do you mean, just with a call
Speaker 1: or text? Maybe we can help you out if you're
Speaker 1: going through something and you need to like work things through. Um,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, So are you like involved with somebody,
Speaker 1: because you can just be honest with us about that, bro. No, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not involved with anybody. It's it's it's it's more
Speaker 1: complicated than that. You're married all of many people. No,
Speaker 1: not that either. Do you want us to just play
Speaker 1: the guessing game for you? Yes? I don't think there's
Speaker 1: any way you guys would guess this one. All right?
Speaker 1: If you could give us just a little bit of information,
Speaker 1: because Lily could really use a little closure on this.
Speaker 1: She really felt for you the night that she hung
Speaker 1: out and she's been completely out of whack for the
Speaker 1: last week, trying to figure out what's going on. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: I liked her too. So we have a mutual friend
Speaker 1: who's been like trying to set us up for like
Speaker 1: two or three months now. About that okay, oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was in on it. And we met at a
Speaker 1: party and we had this amazing experience and driving around
Speaker 1: the parking lot of this some mall and she was
Speaker 1: really cool. So, you know, I lived near our friend,
Speaker 1: so I just like walked over her house the next
Speaker 1: morning excited to tell her the news, and I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: Lily and I we finally went out on that date. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you did talk to her friend? Oh yeah, and
Speaker 1: she was I don't know how to scratch. She just
Speaker 1: like had this look of shock on her face. I
Speaker 1: thought she was the one that set it all up.
Speaker 1: So you guys would meet at the post. Well that's
Speaker 1: what I thought. So then she just like blurked out
Speaker 1: that she was just upset because she and like her
Speaker 1: trying to like set me up with Lillie has decided
Speaker 1: that she's now like fallen for me. Hold on, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Lily's friend now admits that she has feelings for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I thought she was joking, so, you know, did
Speaker 1: you laugh? I sure did, oh wow. But she was like,
Speaker 1: it's not a joke. Oh no, she wants to be
Speaker 1: with me, and I like her as a friend. We've
Speaker 1: known each other for a long time, but I never
Speaker 1: thought of her that way, especially with her trying to
Speaker 1: get me to date somebody else. So it sounds like
Speaker 1: there might be there might actually be feelings there for
Speaker 1: Lily's friend too, from the way you're talking about it,
Speaker 1: I don't know I had. I'd never thought about it.
Speaker 1: I understand because they do say a lot of times
Speaker 1: when your friends first things tend to be so yeah,
Speaker 1: it's why is she sitting It's like telling somebody to
Speaker 1: order fries when it's you that really wants the fries. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe she was hoping that Lily would reject him so
Speaker 1: that she would be like, see, I guess there's nobody
Speaker 1: left for you. But that's a weird way to go
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, that's going to be a lot of information, Matt.
Speaker 1: It's it's not a horrible position for you to be in,
Speaker 1: but it's kind of a really bad situation for Lily. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys got to tell him. Now. I just gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, Matt, this is super awkward. But Lily's been
Speaker 1: on the other line listening and hurt the whole thing. What, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's Lily. Hey Matt, Hey, Hey Lily. Oh, I'm really sorry.
Speaker 1: I still know you're on the like on this call.
Speaker 1: I It's not how I wanted you to find out.
Speaker 1: I so overwhelmed. I just I don't know what this means. Like,
Speaker 1: I thought my friend had my best interest at heart
Speaker 1: and had my back, and now I just feel like,
Speaker 1: I'll say, it doesn't sound like your friend did this
Speaker 1: maliciously or tried to hurt you in any way. I
Speaker 1: feel like maybe your friend lied to you on purpose.
Speaker 1: She definitely lied about saying that she didn't hear from
Speaker 1: Matt after the date. Well, what is she going to say?
Speaker 1: I heard from him. I confess my love to him.
Speaker 1: I thought she doesn't know what to say either. Probably
Speaker 1: her defense, Lily, she was trying to tell you how
Speaker 1: great of a guy she he is, and he's so
Speaker 1: great of a guy. She felt for him too. I mean,
Speaker 1: it makes sense. She's like trying to convince you over
Speaker 1: and over again, and then it finally dawns in her like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, am I going for him? It's really
Speaker 1: making me rethink our entire friendship and like what else
Speaker 1: she might be keeping from me? That that's true? Oh Mad,
Speaker 1: this is so messy for you to be in little up. Yeah. Man,
Speaker 1: I don't want to ruin anyone's friendship like mine with
Speaker 1: our friend or you guys. So the three of us
Speaker 1: could get together, get in a room talking out. I like,
Speaker 1: how you think, man, this is good problem solving. Let's
Speaker 1: all have some drinks again. But what's what's wrong with
Speaker 1: that broke? It's the women want. If you were twenty
Speaker 1: years younger and a few drinks deep, you would be
Speaker 1: all over this. You'd say, seven more girls in here
Speaker 1: and let's have a really good time. God, Matt, have
Speaker 1: you gone out with the other girl already? The friend? No?
Speaker 1: Not at all? Okay, okay jokes aside. In all honesty,
Speaker 1: Matt sounds pretty sincere, like he just wants them to
Speaker 1: all be together so they could talk about what's really
Speaker 1: going on. The secrecy and the keeping things from each
Speaker 1: other that's not working. So Matt, I just I don't
Speaker 1: know what the right course of action here is because
Speaker 1: I liked you, and I man, I don't know. I really,
Speaker 1: I don't have an answer for you. I think I
Speaker 1: think you gotta talk to our friends first. Oh man,
Speaker 1: so you can't decide between them. Still, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a matter of deciding. I mean, like, yeah, that'd
Speaker 1: be a pretty messy road for Matt to take. So
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's not a bad idea for all
Speaker 1: three of you guys to talk it out together and
Speaker 1: we could pay to have you meet up at a
Speaker 1: restaurant or something like that. Oh whoa, that's I gotta
Speaker 1: I gotta put the gotta put a big old yellow
Speaker 1: flag out there on that one. Want to talk to
Speaker 1: you don't like restaurants? Should we go somewhere else? No,
Speaker 1: I just I've got so much to work out. I
Speaker 1: had no idea this was gonna go this direction. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry this is happening. I know this is a
Speaker 1: lot keep us. Yeah, I hope more than anything, your friendship,
Speaker 1: you know, true, gets through this. And then Matt, I mean,
Speaker 1: you're in a win win situation. So yeah, let us
Speaker 1: know who you think. Matt. I don't know if it
Speaker 1: does win win as you guys think. Okay, Okay. I
Speaker 1: mean if I if I end up with either of them,
Speaker 1: it's you know, there's gonna be the baggage of the
Speaker 1: last week. It's gonna be tough. Just like when you
Speaker 1: learn parallel parking from one of them, it's like the
Speaker 1: same thing. You're gonna have one of them behind you
Speaker 1: being like, no, do the other thing, crank the wheel
Speaker 1: to the right. You know, a lot of adults don't
Speaker 1: know how to drive. Guy working Jeffrey in the morning, Man,
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to ask Lily if she would
Speaker 1: like to do an awkward Tuesday phone call to her
Speaker 1: friend go on, I don't know, I'm sure. Well, it
Speaker 1: seemed like Lily was kind of reeling in the moment,
Speaker 1: So maybe we'll ask her off the air. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not like we can just Oh my god, she is
Speaker 1: gonna need help with that convo though. Yeah, friend, obviously
Speaker 1: is it coming to her. She knows it's so awkward. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I've heard that stuff happen sometimes, where you're close
Speaker 1: with a person and you try and set him up
Speaker 1: romantically and suddenly you catch feelings and end up dating them.
Speaker 1: Oh man, you've heard that before. I feel like it's
Speaker 1: the opposite two girls are fighting, like, come on, you
Speaker 1: date the no No. I really hope that we do
Speaker 1: get an update though from this invested in there to
Speaker 1: find out who he picks, or if he picks no
Speaker 1: One and goes in a completely different direction. I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe after this he doesn't have any choices anymore, or
Speaker 1: maybe we broke him from dating forever. So if you'd
Speaker 1: like to be broken from dating forever, email the show.
Speaker 1: We can help make that happen. And you can always
Speaker 1: catch any of our second eight update podcasts online where
Speaker 1: if you find your podcast a Broken Jeffrey, Broken Jeffrey
