Speaker 1: Are you single and feeling out of the loop? Put

Speaker 1: Put in the Loop Singles dot Com Today, Rink and Jewels.
Speaker 1: Second date Update. Anytime I hear stories from friends of mine,
Speaker 1: usually female, who have had like a worker over on
Speaker 1: their house, either doing some construction or something and they
Speaker 1: end up asking them out, it always trips me out
Speaker 1: because they never say yes to the guy. But then
Speaker 1: I think there's the one time where that's actually worked
Speaker 1: for that dude, and you never hear about it actually
Speaker 1: working until today and today's second date update. Jane actually
Speaker 1: agreed to go out with the cable guy is usually
Speaker 1: probably going to be one of the creepier people to
Speaker 1: come to your house. Out of all of them, who
Speaker 1: you pick, I'd go with the plumber first. Jane, how
Speaker 1: are you? Hey, guys, I'm good. How are you good?
Speaker 1: So you actually decided to go out with the cable guy? Huh?
Speaker 1: Well yeah? Even cute? I mean is that even then?
Speaker 1: You know he shut up all my cables and I
Speaker 1: got you're talking and she just saves me out And
Speaker 1: I was like this guy's so cute and he's not
Speaker 1: like a regular cable guy, Like he wasn't creepy. He's
Speaker 1: better than all the other cable guys. Yeah he was.
Speaker 1: What did you guys do on your date? We went
Speaker 1: out for a drink and we talked about movies like
Speaker 1: I just a Guardians the Galaxy and he had seen
Speaker 1: it too, so we'd like talked about that, you know,
Speaker 1: and just like hung out. We called jokes. It's actually
Speaker 1: I'm really nerdy, but I love jokes and so and
Speaker 1: you love jokes too. As it turns out, weird, you're
Speaker 1: one of those rare people that like jokes. Send something
Speaker 1: nobody like change Jane. Well, weird that you two little
Speaker 1: oddballs would find each other in a world as big
Speaker 1: as this. Are you working front of me? No, I'm
Speaker 1: not so. You guys had drinks, enjoyed some jokes, and
Speaker 1: some movie talk. Anything else happened interesting on your date?
Speaker 1: You know, usual date stuff? Okay, like what's usual date
Speaker 1: stuff for you? Because hey, we get a lot of
Speaker 1: these second date updates, and some people's usual date stuff
Speaker 1: is like unusual twelve years married stuff. No, I'm like
Speaker 1: pretty basic, Like you know, it's like think of a
Speaker 1: normal date with a cable guy. We talked about kind
Speaker 1: of sammium channels I have. We talked about my remote
Speaker 1: control and try to get some sort of free upgrade
Speaker 1: off of him is doing exactly? I was like, can
Speaker 1: you bundle my package you a little bit? That's obviously
Speaker 1: why you're calling to do a second date update. So
Speaker 1: he hasn't. So he obviously hasn't called you back since
Speaker 1: your date. Have you talked to him at all? No? Okay?
Speaker 1: And it's you know, we do these things. I ask
Speaker 1: everybody every single time. Is there something weird that could
Speaker 1: have happened during your date? Did you do something weird?
Speaker 1: Did you say something that he could have thought was weird?
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't think it was weird, but when
Speaker 1: I was talking to your producer ahead of time, he
Speaker 1: actually did think that one part of my story was strange. Okay,
Speaker 1: And what part of the story is that? So? I okay.
Speaker 1: So maybe the only thing that maybe weirded him out
Speaker 1: a little bit is that I have a happy birthday book.
Speaker 1: You have a what it's a happy birthday book? What's
Speaker 1: a happy birthday book? I have no idea. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a little book that I keep in my purse, and
Speaker 1: I write the birthdays of people I liked in it
Speaker 1: so that I can remember them and wish them happy birthday.
Speaker 1: So you have a book with you at all times,
Speaker 1: with everybody that you feel is close to you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think birthdays are special. And he thought that was weird.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it is kind of but not
Speaker 1: bad enough to not to call somebody back to. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've had a couple of drinks and we were just
Speaker 1: like seeing from his birthday. So I asked him when
Speaker 1: his birthday was, and he told me, so I wrote
Speaker 1: it down the my birthday book, and that she gave
Speaker 1: me kind of a weird book. So he seemed kind
Speaker 1: of weird it out that you pulled out a book
Speaker 1: and wrote down his birthday after he said it, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he did. Did you explain to him what you were
Speaker 1: doing or did he did you ask him his birthday
Speaker 1: and then creepily take out a book, write it down
Speaker 1: and put it away back in your purse. No, I explained,
Speaker 1: I explained, Okay, do you feel like the birthday book
Speaker 1: weirded him out? Well? May, Yeah, I don't think it's
Speaker 1: weird because my mom used to do that. So It's
Speaker 1: a second nature to me. Like my mom was a
Speaker 1: very hite person who wrote people birthday cards. It's just
Speaker 1: such how I was raised. Did your mom teach you
Speaker 1: rules about it though, Like, you know, you don't kiss
Speaker 1: on the first date, you know, birthday book on the
Speaker 1: first day. No, you, guys, That's what I was going
Speaker 1: to think. The only reason why I think your birthday
Speaker 1: book would have weirded him out is if he thought
Speaker 1: that it was all just people that were super super
Speaker 1: close to you. Yeah, and then you're already including him
Speaker 1: in that group of people. Did you explain to him that, hey,
Speaker 1: I just write down everybody's birthday because I'm a sweetheart
Speaker 1: now existent pictures and cards and things like that, don't
Speaker 1: I don't think I did. Okay, So maybe he's thinking
Speaker 1: that you might be a little clingy and someone would
Speaker 1: get a little too attached too quick. Yeah, that is
Speaker 1: a big jump of conclusions for writing down one birthday though,
Speaker 1: I mean, especially when you're drinking a little bit. How
Speaker 1: drunk were you, guys? Pretty drunk? Thank you, Brook. I
Speaker 1: don't think now if I go out on a first
Speaker 1: date with a girl and she's already solidified my name
Speaker 1: in a book with my birthdate next to it. To me,
Speaker 1: that sounds pretty permanent already. Plus it's it's the digital
Speaker 1: age where all of this information is already readily available online,
Speaker 1: so it's kind of taking a special effort to physically
Speaker 1: write it down in a book. That's what I like
Speaker 1: about it. I can nobody write things down anymore, you know.
Speaker 1: I think it's thoughtful. I think you're nice. All right,
Speaker 1: well we'll play a song. Come back, call him and
Speaker 1: get your second date update. All right, thanks, all right,
Speaker 1: hang up brooking jubil in the morning date. If you're
Speaker 1: just tuning in for the second date update, Jane is
Speaker 1: on the phone with us. She took a risk, a
Speaker 1: big risk, and went out on a date with the
Speaker 1: cable guy. He actually asked her out while she was
Speaker 1: working at her house. She agreed to go out with him.
Speaker 1: From her account, they had a fun time drinks, talking
Speaker 1: about a lot of subjects they were both interested in,
Speaker 1: including jokes, including jokes. Very into jokes, which is weird
Speaker 1: because most people not into those things. Jane says. The
Speaker 1: one thing, though, that did happen on their date that
Speaker 1: she thinks might be the reason he's not calling her
Speaker 1: back is she keeps a birthday book with her, something
Speaker 1: that none of us in here have ever heard before.
Speaker 1: It's a little book that she keeps in her purse
Speaker 1: with everybody's birthday written down in it, people who she
Speaker 1: thinks is special and important in her life, so that
Speaker 1: she can send them cards or whatever whenever the birthday
Speaker 1: comes up. Well, at some point during the date, she
Speaker 1: took out the birthday book, wrote his birthday down in it,
Speaker 1: and then closed it and put it back in her purse.
Speaker 1: And she thinks that maybe he's a little weirded out
Speaker 1: by that. All right, Jane, are you ready to give
Speaker 1: Travis a call? Yeah? Okay, anything other than the birthday
Speaker 1: book that you can think about that might have gone
Speaker 1: wrong on your date? No, And you know, I think
Speaker 1: even the birthday book was heartless, Like I think it
Speaker 1: was just like you know, it was fun saying and
Speaker 1: I's fun with that. All right, Well, doll the phone
Speaker 1: number right now, see if we can get him on
Speaker 1: the phone and then find out why is not calling
Speaker 1: you back. Okay, Hello, Hi, can I speak to Travis?
Speaker 1: Please listen. I'm speaking Travis. My name's Jewel. I'm having
Speaker 1: a problem with my cable came over and worked on
Speaker 1: a little while ago. I'm not sure if you remember
Speaker 1: me or not. Um, no, I'm not. How did you
Speaker 1: get my cell phone number? Oh that's because what I
Speaker 1: just said is completely wrong. This is actually Jewel from
Speaker 1: Brook and Jewel in the Morning. I'm moving ninety two
Speaker 1: point five. How are you? Um? Yeah, I'm sorry. I
Speaker 1: still don't know who you are. Well, host the radio show,
Speaker 1: and you recently went out on a date with one
Speaker 1: of our listeners. Okay. She says that you're not calling
Speaker 1: her back after your date, and so she emailed us
Speaker 1: and asked if we could get you on the phone
Speaker 1: and find out why. Her name is Jane. Jane Jane.
Speaker 1: You recently went out with her after you came over
Speaker 1: to work on her cable. I guess you asked her
Speaker 1: out and the two you went out for drinks. Oh,
Speaker 1: birthday girl, Jane. That would probably be the right Jane. Listen.
Speaker 1: We talked to Jane before calling you, and she told
Speaker 1: us a little bit about your date. Said she had
Speaker 1: a fun time. She said the only awkward thing would
Speaker 1: be this little birthday book that she has. And judging
Speaker 1: by the fact that you called her birthday girl, Jane,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that probably was a little weird to you
Speaker 1: she told you about that. Uh yeah, I thought that
Speaker 1: would be a little strange if I was on a
Speaker 1: date with her and she did that. So was that
Speaker 1: that was weird for you? Oh yeah I was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was really weird. Actually, just because she wrote your
Speaker 1: birthday down that was like too strange. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: she kept asking for birthday and like I told her,
Speaker 1: and she closed the book and she said, Travis, I
Speaker 1: will never forget your birthday because you were special. That's
Speaker 1: kind of slurring a little bit. Yeah, that's what I
Speaker 1: picture though. I do a picture to Hammer and go,
Speaker 1: just like I'll never forgive Brithda you suspacion, Travis. Is
Speaker 1: that how it happened? Well, yeah, I mean it's a
Speaker 1: first day. I mean it's pretty weird. Anyway. She starts
Speaker 1: like she forgets that she had birthdays for her like
Speaker 1: her friends today's, so she starts texting them. Oh no,
Speaker 1: she was texting her friends that she saw in the
Speaker 1: birthday book that she has. Yeah, she like makes me
Speaker 1: grab the phone and sing happy birthday to one of
Speaker 1: her friends. That sucks. No, I would be annoyed with that.
Speaker 1: Like she put you on the spot. And said, here's
Speaker 1: the phone thing, Happy birthday to my friend Janet or whatever.
Speaker 1: Is that what happened? It was just kind of annoying
Speaker 1: because like, we're at this bar and I'm singing happy
Speaker 1: birthday to one of her friends who I've never met before.
Speaker 1: Does she seem really drunk at this point? Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: because that sounds like hammered activity, like it's my birthday.
Speaker 1: But and you know what we're gonna do now the
Speaker 1: sun We're gonna saying happy birthday to everybody. Do you
Speaker 1: think that maybe she's like just trying to be playful though,
Speaker 1: and still flirting with you. At first, it was kind
Speaker 1: of cute when she was asking me about it, but
Speaker 1: then she kept asking me like if I remember her birthday?
Speaker 1: Like it was a quiz, because thank Travis, when's my birthday?
Speaker 1: Like April nineteen guys? You know I said that a
Speaker 1: couple of times around the night, and she was like,
Speaker 1: good job. So you're saying that she has a strange
Speaker 1: obsession with birthdays, little bit, and she kept giving you
Speaker 1: like a pop quiz that you never wanted to have. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, it was cute the first time, but after
Speaker 1: that it was really annoying. Hey, Travis, when is her birthday? April? Mike?
Speaker 1: Good job, Travis. I should also let you know that
Speaker 1: she's actually on the other line listening. Hi, Travis, I
Speaker 1: caught you right. Why do you hate birthdays so much?
Speaker 1: Your birthday hater? I don't hate birthdays, but I think
Speaker 1: it's weird constantly talking about birthdays. Now, who's the one
Speaker 1: who's constantly talking about birthday as your birthday hater? Are you, Jane?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Are you? Is this like your
Speaker 1: weird way of flirting with Travis for psychology? Jane, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I like him so much. Are you just
Speaker 1: embarrassed right now? Yeah? I mean maybe you could just
Speaker 1: explain to him like you were being wasted or something.
Speaker 1: I was, Travis. I'm so sorry. I feel like I
Speaker 1: probably blew it with you. I just was trunk and
Speaker 1: I was having fun and I thought you were on
Speaker 1: the trunk train with me. Well, I mean it was
Speaker 1: just really weird. It was like our first date and
Speaker 1: all you want to talk about was birthdays and his
Speaker 1: birthday book, and I thought it was really I got nervous.
Speaker 1: I ran out of jokes to tell. So that is
Speaker 1: that your backup Jane, when you get nervous, you go
Speaker 1: get you run it out of jokes and then you
Speaker 1: get into the birthday stuff. Oh my gosh, you guys,
Speaker 1: when I get nervous, I just don't even know what
Speaker 1: I'm doing. I get so confused. It's like I black
Speaker 1: out from nervousness. I agree with that, Jane, because I
Speaker 1: just heard you a second ago trying to flirt with
Speaker 1: Travis in order to get him back about the birthday thing.
Speaker 1: I can tell that you really get flustered. I do.
Speaker 1: It's really your problem. Yeah, all right, well let me
Speaker 1: do this for you, then, Jane, let me do this
Speaker 1: for you. Okay. You just sit there and hang out
Speaker 1: for a second, all right, and collect yourself, okay, because
Speaker 1: this might be pretty nerve racking. What's about to happen, Travis,
Speaker 1: I would like it if you would go out with
Speaker 1: Jane again and give her a second shot. She sounds
Speaker 1: like she just does not know how to handle nerves
Speaker 1: at all, and hopefully on a second date she'll be
Speaker 1: a little less nervous. Would you go out with Jane again?
Speaker 1: I don't know, one more chance? Like, how harmful can
Speaker 1: it be to go out with her again? The worst
Speaker 1: thing could happen is you start talking about birthdays again
Speaker 1: and then you never have to call her. Just give
Speaker 1: it one more shot. She just she sounds like she
Speaker 1: likes you a lot and was just incredibly nervous on
Speaker 1: your first date. All right, I'll do it. You'll do it,
Speaker 1: all right, fabulous, Jane. Congratulations you got your second date.
Speaker 1: It's so excited. I promise it will be weird this
Speaker 1: next day. I don't think you can make that guarantee, Jane,
Speaker 1: but just embrace it. Say if I'm weird, then know
Speaker 1: that underneath it all is a really cool girl who
Speaker 1: just wants to hang out and have fun. Okay, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: if I'm weird, it's just just know that underneath at all,
Speaker 1: I'm just like a totally cool girl who just wants that.
Speaker 1: You didn't have to say that, Jane. Yea, I was
Speaker 1: just say I was saying you could say that to Travis.
Speaker 1: But we'll get through this. I feel like I want
Speaker 1: to be your like dating coach, Jupil. Help me. I'm trying.
Speaker 1: Jane broken Jupil in the morning,
