Speaker 1: Second date up date. We talk a lot about how
Speaker 1: hard it is in the dating world right now, especially
Speaker 1: for guys to just get a pretty girl to agree
Speaker 1: to a date. But you know something we rarely talk
Speaker 1: about what that could be even more difficult is successfully
Speaker 1: locking down that second date all on your own, because
Speaker 1: maybe you just got lucky on the first one. She
Speaker 1: was feeling hungry that night and just needed a free meal.
Speaker 1: She was bored and was willing to lower her standards
Speaker 1: just for a funny story to laugh about with all
Speaker 1: of her hot, judgmental friends. Met One of our listeners
Speaker 1: told us that over the last year he's been mixing
Speaker 1: it up in the dating pool, trying all sorts of
Speaker 1: ways to secure himself that second date. But his latest
Speaker 1: foolproof plan doesn't seem to be working anymore, which is
Speaker 1: why he's on the phone with us right now.
Speaker 2: Makes him the fool of the fool proof plan.
Speaker 1: It sounds like, okay, well, Jared has already called you
Speaker 1: a fool before you've even sett a congratulations.
Speaker 3: Oh that's not what I meant, buddy.
Speaker 1: I mean, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, if you call it fool proof and it doesn't work,
Speaker 2: there's only one part that ends up true in that statement.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, welcome to the show man. How you doing,
Speaker 1: don't get man?
Speaker 4: How you guys doing?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: You got positive attitude still, that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: So your email says that you're going out on a
Speaker 1: lot of dates and you're trying these strategies to make
Speaker 1: sure that you can secure another one. What are you doing?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be like so frustrating and trying to get
Speaker 4: like a second date, Like we have a good first one,
Speaker 4: and then so as I start talking about the second
Speaker 4: and a lot of times I just get ghosted. And
Speaker 4: then I was like, okay, well, at the end of
Speaker 4: the first day of like shake on it, it's like
Speaker 4: good eye contact. Hey, we're going to meet, let's do
Speaker 4: a second.
Speaker 2: Date like a business contract.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just like trying to get that genuine vibe.
Speaker 1: Going, you know, Okay, that's okay, this was working well, Alexis.
Speaker 1: You don't like the business handshake at the end of
Speaker 1: a date.
Speaker 2: No, because the handshakes ever period. What if he changed
Speaker 2: it to a pinky swear, would.
Speaker 1: You be more into that?
Speaker 3: Slightly better?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Some rock paper sissors again?
Speaker 1: What about mouth kiss to lock in? That second dish?
Speaker 2: Doesn't lock in anything the tongues for a second.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not doing this.
Speaker 4: Actually, it's plain that you mentioned pinky promise because that's
Speaker 4: that's what I went with, because that's.
Speaker 1: Sacred, you know, Oh really you did.
Speaker 5: I was like, yo, pinky promise, but I'm like playful
Speaker 5: with it, you.
Speaker 6: Know, like, Okay, Yeah, is the pinky promise working better
Speaker 6: than the handshake?
Speaker 2: What's our like percentage of success right here?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: So I've tried it three times. Even one of them
Speaker 5: actually turned into a pretty like decent relationship.
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's why you're confused why it didn't work,
Speaker 2: because it worked the first three times.
Speaker 4: I see, and now he's the only one did not
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 2: So who's who's this girl who's bucking the trends? What's
Speaker 2: her name?
Speaker 4: Her name is Mona?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, tell us about the date because that could
Speaker 1: give us some clues for how this went. Did you
Speaker 1: guys go to pf Chain's why is so specific because
Speaker 1: those are my parents like to take me when we
Speaker 1: do our pinky promise.
Speaker 2: Like that fancy fancy.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's awesome.
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've probably never been your parents take you to
Speaker 1: like what Denny's or something.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: The Missouri Mule.
Speaker 1: Worse. Where did you go for your date? Jared?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we went to this uh this gold cart place.
Speaker 4: Oh so fun.
Speaker 2: I love go carts day. It's like ChIL go carts,
Speaker 2: like the ones we have to wear a helmet because
Speaker 2: they go in a full suit. Yeah.
Speaker 4: It was more like the high Octing when I had
Speaker 4: like windy tracks and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. That's a fun date because it's a
Speaker 2: little competitive. You're all trying something new. You got some
Speaker 2: adrenaline going. Were you super competitive with her? Is that
Speaker 2: maybe an issue?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 4: I kind of like lighting it up. I was like, yo,
Speaker 4: we should do a shot for every lap we do.
Speaker 4: I was kidding, but I would have done it just
Speaker 4: I was just trying to see what you would say.
Speaker 2: You know, they frowned up drinking even if they do,
Speaker 2: you do a lot.
Speaker 4: No, Yeah, we did a lot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, twenty shotsol poisoning.
Speaker 1: Trying to figure out how did she react to your joke, He.
Speaker 4: Was like, oh, I don't think they let us do that.
Speaker 5: She just kind of laughed it off.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, which is what the point was, right, But
Speaker 6: the business.
Speaker 2: Did you guys squeeze in dinner or drinks after the
Speaker 2: go carts or was the go carts in?
Speaker 4: No, we we did go carts and then afterwards we
Speaker 4: did little some hamburgers and milkshakes, and we did that.
Speaker 4: We're there for like an hour and then headed out.
Speaker 6: Okay, did this pinky swear feel different than the other
Speaker 6: pinky swears? Like, did you notice if she was crossing
Speaker 6: her fingers with the other hand while she did it?
Speaker 2: That's important.
Speaker 4: No, I didn't know something like that. So, like I said,
Speaker 4: I'm kind of confused. That seemed from my I thought
Speaker 4: we had a good time.
Speaker 1: Okay, and so you pinky promised to see each other again.
Speaker 1: She has not followed through on the promise. So the
Speaker 1: real question is when we call her now, should we
Speaker 1: do double pinky promises to really lock it in we
Speaker 1: call the police and arrest.
Speaker 6: Her for breaking the con Obviously, she we have to
Speaker 6: cut her pinky off.
Speaker 2: That's the whole point.
Speaker 8: Of a pinky product.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so we just gotta let her know, say, audios,
Speaker 2: was it right hand or left hand?
Speaker 1: That's right. I forgot about the rules of pinky promising.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go get our machetes ready, we'll sharpen
Speaker 1: them up and then we'll come back and we'll call
Speaker 1: Mona for you.
Speaker 8: Cool.
Speaker 4: No, oh, yeah that's cool. But yeah, that's not like
Speaker 4: a like a real thing.
Speaker 7: Though.
Speaker 4: They only cut off your pinky finger for the Polish, right,
Speaker 4: They don't do that.
Speaker 1: No, on this show, we do.
Speaker 2: I've never broken a pinky promise before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we take it very very seriously, Jared. So, Mona's
Speaker 1: gonna go out with you or she's gonna pay the
Speaker 1: price with your second date update right after this hold
Speaker 1: on second date update. Oh, the pinky promise. It's a
Speaker 1: sacred ritual that dates back hundreds, if not thousands of years.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: All the greatest rulers in history have used it to
Speaker 1: achieve victory. Julius Caesar did it, Genghis Khan, Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 1: Even Pinky swore right before he down sixty eight and
Speaker 1: a half hot dogs at Coney Island to take home
Speaker 1: the crowds.
Speaker 2: It's beautiful.
Speaker 1: But recently somebody broke the eternal bonding promise of.
Speaker 8: The pinky Jared's date Mona, because she promised that she
Speaker 8: would see him again after they went go karting together,
Speaker 8: but clearly the power of the pinky means nothing to.
Speaker 1: Her and today, pinky, we want some answers on Jared's behalf.
Speaker 2: I want some blood, Jeff, take that pinky off.
Speaker 1: Pinky, promise that you'll give the man a chance this
Speaker 1: time and not turn on him the instant. Another females
Speaker 1: on the phone.
Speaker 2: I don't like to make promises I can't keep, so.
Speaker 1: Maybe okay, yeah, Jared, we got a maybe Brooke will
Speaker 1: be on your side?
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, cool guy, Yeah, I just don't know what
Speaker 2: else he's done. You know, you got to hear both
Speaker 2: sides of the story. One side right now. I'm all
Speaker 2: for Jared, all on his side.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm like saying yes to the terms and conditions
Speaker 1: without even reading yes. It sounds like it seems like
Speaker 1: Jared's right what this woman has to say? All right, Jared,
Speaker 1: let's call her. Here we go.
Speaker 4: I don't even tell you guys to talk about, but yeah,
Speaker 4: let's do it.
Speaker 1: Keep up, thank you for your contribution. Let's call this woman.
Speaker 3: Hello?
Speaker 7: Hi?
Speaker 1: Is this mona?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Does this she? Aren't you? Friendly?
Speaker 1: Friendly? The person who is speaking right now is the
Speaker 1: lead host of a radio show called Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the Morning. Why didn't my other host laugh when
Speaker 1: I said that, that's a weird that's my title.
Speaker 2: Okay, Hi, Mona.
Speaker 3: Hi, that's your lead hosts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all co hosts together on Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the Morning, and we're doing a segment right now
Speaker 1: called a second Date update.
Speaker 7: Have you heard a lot of people, and.
Speaker 1: We're trying to do something where we're helping one of
Speaker 1: our listeners to get a second date with you because
Speaker 1: he had such a nice time when you hung out.
Speaker 1: Originally his name's Jared.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's like Jared planned an awesome date for
Speaker 2: you both.
Speaker 1: What does mean?
Speaker 7: I guess like, did he tell you that we had
Speaker 7: gone go karting?
Speaker 1: Yeah? You don't like that?
Speaker 7: I thought, like soule phone on paper on paper?
Speaker 2: Okay, what happened in real life? Helmets? Because I'm with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we heard about most of the date from Jared
Speaker 1: and the highlights were go cards, there were burgers and milkshakes,
Speaker 1: and then at the very end, this is kind of controversial,
Speaker 1: you pinky promised him that you would see him a
Speaker 1: second time.
Speaker 2: It out right?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you're kind of a liar, okay, and
Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out why.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if we can count that pinky
Speaker 3: promise because I kind of like I had kind of
Speaker 3: maneuver myself out of it because why well, it was
Speaker 3: like he hooked the pinky, but then he also like
Speaker 3: pulled me in and tries to go in for a kiss.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone does. I think he meant a kiss on
Speaker 1: the hand or a kiss on the mouth. That's not
Speaker 1: what I was talking about.
Speaker 6: Wait, did he misread the moment because it sounds like
Speaker 6: kind of a cute moment for a first kiss.
Speaker 7: I mean it was cute, but maybe just a little
Speaker 7: cringe because I was like, is that your move? Is
Speaker 7: that what you do?
Speaker 2: Did you kiss him? Or did you not kiss him?
Speaker 2: He didn't tell us.
Speaker 7: I had to swerve or curve.
Speaker 4: Well is it?
Speaker 2: Wait though, is it because you don't kiss on a
Speaker 2: first date or is it because you don't want to
Speaker 2: kiss him?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 7: I think like the bigger itck was a little bit
Speaker 7: for that, So I think it was insulting injury.
Speaker 1: He wasn't gonna get a kiss no matter what at
Speaker 1: that point, I don't.
Speaker 2: Think so it was a bigger it.
Speaker 7: Okay, so I know how this will sound.
Speaker 3: I'm not a mean or shallow person, like I'm promised, but.
Speaker 7: We were we were go karting, right, so we had
Speaker 7: like the full get up and everything, and it's just
Speaker 7: like Jared just looked really kind of dumb, Like the
Speaker 7: whole time I could see that. Yeah, it was kind
Speaker 7: of a big turn off. And then we even took
Speaker 7: like a felthie and he had his helmet on still.
Speaker 7: So it's like it's like every time I think about.
Speaker 4: Him, I think about him, and.
Speaker 1: It happens all the all the reasons.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's shallow. I just think that's one thing.
Speaker 1: Could happen and you just look at someone a completely
Speaker 1: different But what about you. I mean, I'm sure that
Speaker 1: you didn't look like perfect in your go kart helmets,
Speaker 1: just like to be.
Speaker 7: Fair, it's a little hard, but I took the time
Speaker 7: to kind of adjust it right, like you could fit
Speaker 7: it properly. I'll put my hair in a way that
Speaker 7: it would pop out kind of cute.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's something you couldn't get over though, Like
Speaker 6: you can't unsee.
Speaker 2: It, Like you shouldn't see him in a go car
Speaker 2: helmet that often after.
Speaker 7: This, right, you know, it's just it's looms so big
Speaker 7: in my in my mind, and so yeah, I know
Speaker 7: I feel bad because he's been texting and I guess
Speaker 7: I did pinky promise, But it's just.
Speaker 1: So basically, you look super cute in your racing helmet
Speaker 1: and he looks super stupid in it. So he is
Speaker 1: not boyfriend material for that reason.
Speaker 2: He's not second date materially here into that yet. That's
Speaker 2: a long way down the road.
Speaker 1: You know. It's a little harsh to my ears, but
Speaker 1: my ears aren't the ones that matter really. Jared is
Speaker 1: the one. Yeah, he's probably all going through it the
Speaker 1: most because he's on the other line right now listening
Speaker 1: to this conversation.
Speaker 7: No, oh my gosh, No, that's not nice.
Speaker 1: What you said wasn't very nice. But let's yeah, helmets.
Speaker 2: Ugly, she said, stupid like a.
Speaker 1: Difference, Jared, are you there?
Speaker 4: Are you serious? I look dumb in a go cart
Speaker 4: helmet and that's why, Oh.
Speaker 7: My god, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4: We're riding go carts. Everybody looks stupid and.
Speaker 5: Like an idiot writing.
Speaker 7: Do you think you were pulling it off?
Speaker 4: You know, I didn't care how I looked. I was
Speaker 4: excited to get on the gold cart and go around
Speaker 4: to do laft.
Speaker 5: I didn't like, it's not this is the Daytona five hundred.
Speaker 4: I don't know, like I don't have to look you know, cool, Okay,
Speaker 4: I know you.
Speaker 1: Actually would look pretty cool if you were writ in the.
Speaker 6: Dyton I think the point is is you found a
Speaker 6: guy who's willing to look dumb and do fun things
Speaker 6: like that's really what you want in that partner.
Speaker 1: And he's presumably not going to be wearing a helmet
Speaker 1: the whole time that you guys date.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but guys, I'm looking at the Selty picture right
Speaker 7: now and he just looks so dumb.
Speaker 1: Photoshop it so he doesn't look anymore. Put a nice
Speaker 1: head of hair on top of him.
Speaker 4: But I took off the helmet, and I look good
Speaker 4: to what.
Speaker 7: The image has been burned into my brain. It's like
Speaker 7: forever associated.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Well, we'd love to get the opportunity to burn a
Speaker 1: brand new image into your b with no helmet on
Speaker 1: his head, because we're going to offer to send you
Speaker 1: on another date, and we'd pay for it.
Speaker 4: And you pinky promise that's sacred.
Speaker 2: You should give him another chance. He's a funny guy.
Speaker 1: Don't unleash the wrath of the pinky gods on yourself.
Speaker 7: Are so bad, Jared, I mean, if your ego is
Speaker 7: at groused that badly, I mean.
Speaker 1: Stop looking at the picture deleted. Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: think you can take a beating, Jared.
Speaker 2: Tell her why she should.
Speaker 4: Say yes, because you know, besides, then you look at Dominah.
Speaker 4: How we had a good time even after.
Speaker 5: We had when we had molk chasing burgers, you were.
Speaker 4: Laughing and having fun. We had a good time, you.
Speaker 7: Know, Yes, I was. My mind was taken off of
Speaker 7: the helmet for a little moment, So I think maybe
Speaker 7: it could happen again.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, that's a yes.
Speaker 4: Then yay, yes, yes, yeah, that's what I thought.
Speaker 1: Pinky promise has been restored. We can put them a
Speaker 1: set away, all right, and make sure you burn any
Speaker 1: headgear that you own right now.
Speaker 2: He's like concussions, It doesn't matter anymore.
Speaker 4: Now I'm gonna wear a cowboy hat.
Speaker 2: That's a bold choice.
Speaker 7: Oh, I don't know if.
Speaker 4: You can pull that off.
Speaker 1: All right, No country bars, Good luck, Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the morning, moving two point five, Oh man, I
Speaker 1: messed up.
Speaker 2: Why did you mess up before we got off the phone?
Speaker 2: I probably agree, But why before we.
Speaker 1: Got off the phone. I should have Pinky promised with
Speaker 1: her that she'll actually go through with the next day.
Speaker 2: You brought it up, but I know I don't think
Speaker 2: that means a lot to her these days.
Speaker 1: Jeff, you don't like to hear this, but let's keep
Speaker 1: the fingers out of it.
Speaker 6: Okay, you're probably It's like if she saw you wearing
Speaker 6: those headphones, she may get this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, you're right. Yeah, okay, where okay? But
Speaker 1: hindsight is always twenty twenty on these segments, because as
Speaker 1: soon as you're done with one, you look back and
Speaker 1: you go, oh, darns, why couldn't Brook have been more
Speaker 1: funny there? That wasn't she more clever and more witty
Speaker 1: and more complimentary of men? We just brought so many
Speaker 1: regrets about that second I mean.
Speaker 2: It's a good point men they struggle. Yes, yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: always talking about too late.
Speaker 1: Now, you should have said that during the second day.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like, I'll never have to bring it
Speaker 2: up again.
Speaker 1: That's true. Luckily, despite all of our many, many collective shortcomings,
Speaker 1: we still manage to get them a second. If you
Speaker 1: ever need help with your love life, email the show.
Speaker 1: We'll call that person who's not calling you back.
Speaker 7: And go.
