Speaker 1: The second date of day.
Speaker 2: It's a well documented fact on this show that Brooke
Speaker 2: does not respect people who ride the bus a kids.
Speaker 2: I don't want to say that she thinks they're beneath her.
Speaker 2: She just definitely doesn't.
Speaker 1: Think that they're on her level. That's probably the best
Speaker 1: way to put it.
Speaker 3: I feel like Jeffrey is always putting his own feelings
Speaker 3: on me.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying I'm a little bit worried for
Speaker 2: this call because we have a woman on the phone
Speaker 2: who apparently rides the bus to work all the time.
Speaker 2: And Brooke, I know it's probably too much for me
Speaker 2: to ask you to be non judgmental doing this, but
Speaker 2: can you at least try and keep it civil and
Speaker 2: not spit on the.
Speaker 1: Floor when I say her name?
Speaker 2: Although you know what, there is probably usually spitting bodily
Speaker 2: fluids on the floor of the bus, So maybe make
Speaker 2: her feel like she's at home. Let's welcome Tricia to
Speaker 2: the show. Tricia, how you doing?
Speaker 4: I'm doing well? How are you guys doing?
Speaker 3: Terrible intro? Tricia, You riding the bus is just fine?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 1: Did you hear how? She said? That was such distain?
Speaker 1: It's fine? Her publicist told her she has to be
Speaker 1: like nicer.
Speaker 3: Boyfriends that only rode the bus.
Speaker 1: She broke up with all of them immediately. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you that.
Speaker 2: But Tricia, we're gonna we're gonna try our best to
Speaker 2: be on your side. Here, tell us about why you
Speaker 2: emailed for a second date.
Speaker 1: Update. Who'd you go out with?
Speaker 4: All right? So his name is Dave. I met him
Speaker 4: on the bus. So what happened was sometimes I'll see
Speaker 4: the same kind of characters on the bus every day,
Speaker 4: but this guy hadn't met before. He sat next to me.
Speaker 4: Didn't think much of it, but then the bus had
Speaker 4: like some kind of problem the engine. I don't know
Speaker 4: what it was, but.
Speaker 2: Brook cut the wires, so the bus stall.
Speaker 4: We were hanging out there, so of course, you know,
Speaker 4: we start talking to each other. Next to me, I
Speaker 4: seemed like a really nice guy. He's like, listen, I'm
Speaker 4: already late for work. Let's just go meet up for coffee.
Speaker 3: I like that instead of I'm already late for work,
Speaker 3: we should call, you know, somebody to come get us.
Speaker 4: Let's just screw it, right, And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: he seems lovely, and so anyway, we go to the coffee.
Speaker 4: It's just a quick thing. But we get we get
Speaker 4: our cups of coffee, We exchange numbers.
Speaker 3: Okay, so it was like more than just a friendship.
Speaker 4: Saying yeah, I mean I felt like, why would he
Speaker 4: give me his number otherwise or asked me to coffee?
Speaker 2: Did you do that like romantic thing where you guys
Speaker 2: sip out of each other's coffee cups? We did not,
Speaker 2: Or you do that thing where you interlock your arms
Speaker 2: and take a sip, hoping.
Speaker 3: Not just feel scalding hot coffee down side.
Speaker 2: I don't expect Brook to understand what romance looks like,
Speaker 2: but I did you guys not pull that move?
Speaker 4: We did not pull that move.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the next question is did he call you?
Speaker 3: Did you guys go out again? They exchange numbers Jeffrey, Oh, okay, sure,
Speaker 3: go ahead, And that's that where that goes.
Speaker 4: Here's we're ridiculed to the meat. So I'm like, how's
Speaker 4: your week been. We're talking, and he's like, yeah, I've
Speaker 4: just been really busy. I'm planning this estate sale. I
Speaker 4: have a lot of stuff to get rid of. I've
Speaker 4: got friends helping me. And I was actually like, you
Speaker 4: know what, I actually in the market for a couch, right, know,
Speaker 4: my cat's destroyed my old one. And I'm like, do
Speaker 4: you buy any chance to have a couch. He's like,
Speaker 4: I do as a matter of fact, and he goes,
Speaker 4: just come pick it up. I'm going to charge you
Speaker 4: for it. If you like it, you can just have it.
Speaker 3: Get a free couch. Other deal sweet?
Speaker 4: Right, And at this point I don't know what the
Speaker 4: couch looks like or anything, but we went to a
Speaker 4: bar together. He showed me pictures on the phone. I'm like,
Speaker 4: this is perfect.
Speaker 2: Sounds like a hot date showing each other couch pictures.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like a two for one deal, right,
Speaker 3: just getting a hot date and a free couch.
Speaker 1: Did it pass your eye test?
Speaker 4: You mean the guy or the couch, because both did.
Speaker 2: Oh more than just sit on that couch when you
Speaker 2: go pick it up? So did you go get it?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: You think?
Speaker 4: So I go to his house. I said, sure, I'll
Speaker 4: take it. I just need some way to get at home.
Speaker 2: Aka, you need to take this to my house, please.
Speaker 4: Okay, hoping he's going to offer. But it's weird because
Speaker 4: he's got this little back patio thing with a sliding
Speaker 4: glass door and it's been open and at this point,
Speaker 4: his cat comes running in. Cat jumps up onto the
Speaker 4: couch and like neffles into it, and he's like, I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: my cat is he's not even misattached to his couch,
Speaker 4: but it's almost like he's cleaning it right now. And
Speaker 4: he's like, I don't know if it's a sign, but
Speaker 4: suddenly I just have this feeling like I need to
Speaker 4: keep this couch, Like this cat is in love.
Speaker 5: With his couch.
Speaker 2: He gave DIBs to his cat over you cat just
Speaker 2: nuzzled the couch.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm a cat person, so I get it
Speaker 4: to a degree. And I also I'm like, that's so weird.
Speaker 3: Do you think it's maybe because you asked that you
Speaker 3: needed help bringing it back? Like all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: the cat is on it and then you're asking that
Speaker 3: And he's like, oh.
Speaker 5: Cra.
Speaker 2: I won't even help a good friend move their couch,
Speaker 2: let alone somebody I'm just meeting for a date well.
Speaker 3: With four couches in my living room now.
Speaker 1: So does that mean you didn't get it?
Speaker 4: No, he didn't give it to me. And I'm like,
Speaker 4: maybe when we hang out again, he'll like provide some clarity.
Speaker 4: Who is I never heard from him again, and.
Speaker 3: You think it's all because of the couch.
Speaker 4: I don't know why.
Speaker 2: Maybe the cat nuzzled up against your ankle and was like, oh,
Speaker 2: cat has DIBs on your Now I can't call, but
Speaker 2: let's see and find out. We're gonna play a song.
Speaker 2: We'll come back and we'll call Dave. We'll ask him
Speaker 2: why he's not calling you back and maybe see if
Speaker 2: that couch is still available so I could have it
Speaker 2: because I need some help in my place. Anyway, we'll
Speaker 2: do it in your second date updates.
Speaker 4: I still get DIBs on the couch over you.
Speaker 1: We're gonna let Dave settle this. We're gonna call. Maybe
Speaker 1: we'll do it right after this.
Speaker 2: It's a very interesting story. We just heard from Tricia
Speaker 2: about her date with a guy named Dave, but also
Speaker 2: very matter.
Speaker 3: Of fact, she didn't have a lot of emotion.
Speaker 2: You mean, I feel like I'm just being honest here.
Speaker 2: I feel like, Tricia, you don't seem very connected to
Speaker 2: the guy.
Speaker 1: It sounds like what you really want out of this.
Speaker 2: Is a second shot at that couch that he was
Speaker 2: selling before you got cat blocked.
Speaker 3: I gotta say I wouldn't I wouldn't judge you for it.
Speaker 4: That's a good deal.
Speaker 3: I mean, a free couch.
Speaker 2: I'll just ask, if I offered you the couch right
Speaker 2: now instead of a date, what would you say, Trisa?
Speaker 4: I think I would take the couch at this point.
Speaker 3: Really it wouldn't It probably would have been that way
Speaker 3: the other point too.
Speaker 4: I mean the whole thing is like, I don't know
Speaker 4: Dave that well, I'm not invested emotionally, and if it's
Speaker 4: a beautiful couch I can get for a bargain and
Speaker 4: it's perfect more emotionally invested in the couch are.
Speaker 3: Smart choices you're making in your life.
Speaker 6: I actually hard to find the men, honestly, that one
Speaker 6: that fits your place perfectly, and I love the look
Speaker 6: of it.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, this is going to be the first time
Speaker 2: we've ever done a second date for a piece of furniture.
Speaker 3: But let's give it a shot.
Speaker 1: We're going to call Dave.
Speaker 4: Good couch is hard to find.
Speaker 1: We'll tell he reacts here. I'm gonna call his number. Hello, Hey,
Speaker 1: is this Dave.
Speaker 5: This is Dave was Colin.
Speaker 1: Hey, Dave, My.
Speaker 2: Name is Jeff from the show Brooke and Jeffrey in
Speaker 2: the Morning.
Speaker 1: We're on the radio, Like right now, we're on the radio.
Speaker 5: Yeah, why am I on the radio? What's going on here?
Speaker 1: Good question, Dave.
Speaker 2: Before we can really get into it, I do need
Speaker 2: to ask we heard that you have a couch that
Speaker 2: was up for sale or couch, a really nice couch.
Speaker 2: We're wondering is that still available?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 5: What I mean? I still got the couch?
Speaker 1: But who?
Speaker 5: How do you know that? Who told you that?
Speaker 2: We heard about this amazing couch from one of our
Speaker 2: listeners named Tricia.
Speaker 5: Tricia?
Speaker 3: Remember remember you hung.
Speaker 1: Out with her a little bit, went to a bar
Speaker 1: and showed her the couch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no I remember Tricia.
Speaker 3: What you sounds kind of mad? Are you that? Tricia?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: No, I'm not mad. I just I'm done with Tricia
Speaker 5: and I didn't I didn't really want to bring it
Speaker 5: back up.
Speaker 1: Did WHOA?
Speaker 5: Why are you calling me about this?
Speaker 1: You're done with her? Well?
Speaker 2: She told us that you were the one who asked
Speaker 2: her out after you met on the bus.
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 5: Yeah, honestly, she was cool. I like Tricia. She's she
Speaker 5: like a good person. Didn't feel right?
Speaker 3: It didn't feel right, was it? I mean? She also
Speaker 3: said that you offered her your couch for free.
Speaker 5: I did, I did at one point, Yeah, but then
Speaker 5: things changed and so she didn't end up taking the
Speaker 5: couch change.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why everything seems so good up to that moment.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you guys are being a little nosy here. I
Speaker 5: don't even know you.
Speaker 6: I don't know what this is about.
Speaker 5: So are we done here?
Speaker 2: I mean, so, I apologize for that, but that's kind
Speaker 2: of what we do on this segment. We're trying to
Speaker 2: help Tricia figure out what went wrong because she's clueless.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just want to help her tell her, Hey,
Speaker 1: what happened.
Speaker 3: Is it something that you think she should understand already,
Speaker 3: like why you don't want to talk to her again?
Speaker 1: Or is it because she rides the bus and you
Speaker 1: don't like that?
Speaker 2: Because that's it's a popular opinion on this show that
Speaker 2: bus people are not worthy of love.
Speaker 1: Not popular.
Speaker 5: But one person is that I ride the bus to work.
Speaker 5: I think it's totally fine. I don't really understand what.
Speaker 1: You guys are doing. Yeah, last, we'll check that one
Speaker 1: off of the list. It's not that. So what is it.
Speaker 2: What's the reason that you have this total shift in
Speaker 2: attitude towards Tricia?
Speaker 3: I mean, we heard something about your cat.
Speaker 5: But I don't know if anybody really believes that your
Speaker 5: cat rubbing up against the couch is going to stop
Speaker 5: you from giving it away.
Speaker 3: See, I think it's because she asked for help in
Speaker 3: moving the couch. Is that why?
Speaker 5: No, it's not bad, all right, listen, if it'll end
Speaker 5: this quicker, I'm just gonna I'm gonna let you know,
Speaker 5: but it's some people might think it's weird, but this
Speaker 5: is the truth.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 5: So the a state where I've been living for the
Speaker 5: last couple of months is actually my grandma is the state.
Speaker 5: She passed away just a few months ago. So I've
Speaker 5: been picking hare things there. Yeah, that's hard, that's okay,
Speaker 5: I thank you. I appreciate that. Anyway, the cat was
Speaker 5: my grandma's and I'm taking care of the cat as well. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and I don't know. As soon as Tricia comes to
Speaker 5: get the couch, this cat, who has never ever, i
Speaker 5: mean not once jumped on this couch, went right up
Speaker 5: to it. It's like the cat saw Tricia and tried
Speaker 5: to intervene. I think, I mean, I know, I know
Speaker 5: deep inside that that is my grandma. That is a
Speaker 5: sign that she is speaking through this cat, and it
Speaker 5: was a sign to not give this couch away and
Speaker 5: to not see this woman anymore. I don't know what
Speaker 5: reason the line when you know, you know, and something
Speaker 5: just told me, this is my grandma telling me to
Speaker 5: watch out.
Speaker 3: Was your grandma always pretty judging about the people you
Speaker 3: would with?
Speaker 5: Honestly, she just wanted to make sure I was happy,
Speaker 5: and I think I trusted her opinion, So I'm going
Speaker 5: to keep trusting it in the afterlife.
Speaker 2: Weird question back to you, is your grandma the cat
Speaker 2: or is your grandma.
Speaker 3: She's speaking through the cat? You know that that actually
Speaker 3: makes sense to me? Is that weird?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean I don't know the logistics of the
Speaker 5: supernatural here. All I know is the feeling I got.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, just nobody gets the couch, not just Tricia.
Speaker 3: I think it was just Tricia.
Speaker 2: I mean, I believe in signs, and I'm just reading
Speaker 2: the signs that Tricia has been on the other line
Speaker 2: listening this entire time and wants to talk to you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like I've been set up here. What's
Speaker 5: going on?
Speaker 3: Don't be? Don't I mean, you can be if you
Speaker 3: need to be, but.
Speaker 1: Like, don't tell men how to.
Speaker 3: Feel She's not trying to like upset you. She didn't know.
Speaker 3: She didn't know that that was what was going on, right, Tricia.
Speaker 4: No, I didn't. That is so weird, Like you really
Speaker 4: think that your grandma sent you a sign through your
Speaker 4: cat that we shouldn't go out anymore. And this makes
Speaker 4: me feel like you might have some mental problems. To
Speaker 4: be honest, that is so d That.
Speaker 3: Is so rude.
Speaker 1: He said, Hey, this is gonna sound weird. He knows
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel right.
Speaker 6: Everybody experiences grief and everything else in different ways, and
Speaker 6: this is the way he feels like his grandma's talking
Speaker 6: to him now. I do think maybe the argument could
Speaker 6: be that what if the cat was saying, yes, I'm
Speaker 6: excited about this, instead of like maybe you were interpreting
Speaker 6: the cat rock you wanted to hang out with her
Speaker 6: with the cound.
Speaker 2: I mean it could be Honestly, does that sound like
Speaker 2: a possibility.
Speaker 5: Dave, After this conversation, I'm more convinced than ever that
Speaker 5: the way I interpreted it was correct. My grandma just
Speaker 5: helped me dodge a bullet, So thank you.
Speaker 4: I'm going to trust my instrength, you know what, Dave?
Speaker 4: Like forget even you because at this point, obviously we're
Speaker 4: not a romantic match. And I'm fine with.
Speaker 7: That obviously, what I mean, but like the fact that
Speaker 7: can I just like have Could we just do the
Speaker 7: couch exchange because I'll give you two hundred dollars for it,
Speaker 7: I'll have the couch.
Speaker 4: I still want the couch.
Speaker 1: Something can be salvaged from this convery.
Speaker 3: He's going to give you his grandmother's couch, like it's
Speaker 3: just three hundred dollars.
Speaker 5: Car that couch to the dump and give it to you.
Speaker 1: Oh, don't put your grandma's couch and the dumb brother.
Speaker 4: It's seriously a little dramatic.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's Tricia. Yeah, you're getting to know.
Speaker 2: You're getting to know from Dave, from Dave's cat and
Speaker 2: from Dave's grandma.
Speaker 4: So thank you Dave's cat, because now I feel like
Speaker 4: I dodged a bullet on top of.
Speaker 1: It, you know.
Speaker 2: Well, Dave, Okay, so you know you don't have to
Speaker 2: go out or see Tricia again. But I know your
Speaker 2: cat's not here on the line with us. But do
Speaker 2: you think you can ask it if your grandma thinks
Speaker 2: I'm a good person, because I.
Speaker 1: Would really like to have that couch. It sounds really nice.
Speaker 4: No, sorry, but I'm getting that couch. I'm offering more
Speaker 4: money than you. You are not going to sounds like you've.
Speaker 2: Been cut out of the equation. So somebody should get
Speaker 2: that couch. I think it should be me, Dave, they give.
Speaker 5: It to the cat, we'll go ahead and try dot
Speaker 5: com and let them leave me alone.
Speaker 3: Into a second couch updates Froaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: That was just another one of those second date updates
Speaker 2: that all of a sudden it goes off the rails
Speaker 2: and there's no way to fix it.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's just sil man.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, she was me. I mean, gosh, if you
Speaker 3: don't believe that your grandma, can you know, show you signs? Fine, whatever,
Speaker 3: but you don't need to be so mean. Somebody else
Speaker 3: who believes.
Speaker 1: It overly aggressive.
Speaker 2: And it's really not fair of her to discredit the
Speaker 2: cat signs because she was the one that told us
Speaker 2: she followed the signs when her bus broke down, that
Speaker 2: she was supposed to hang out with them.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good point.
Speaker 3: Maybe. I mean, I don't know that I was fully
Speaker 3: listening when she said that.
Speaker 2: Just selective sign reading and selective listening apparent in this room.
Speaker 3: I think she just match you didn't get the couch.
Speaker 3: That's honestly what she's really upset about.
Speaker 2: I guarantee you if she googled it into like on
Speaker 2: wafer or something, it's like a thousand dollars couch. I
Speaker 2: don't want to run into her inside of home Goods.
Speaker 2: But remember, if you ever want to get a second
Speaker 2: date update, you can email the show. We'll call the
Speaker 2: person who wasn't calling you back.
Speaker 3: Broken Jeffrey in the morning,
