Speaker 1: Second dat of to day. If there's one word that
Speaker 1: describes our morning show, it's probably quirky. Yeah. I can
Speaker 1: see it either quirky or quirky. That's way more fun. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, you never know what you're going to find
Speaker 1: one of us doing at any moment when you walk
Speaker 1: around a corner in the ad. But I do think
Speaker 1: quirky describes us pretty well. And also one of our listeners,
Speaker 1: Jamie describes herself as being quirky. In fact, it's right
Speaker 1: there in her online dating profile. So theoretically we should
Speaker 1: get along great, Okay, Yeah, well sometimes sometimes if we
Speaker 1: have too much in common, you don't get along at all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you never, you don't want too much quirky. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: meet her though. What's up, Jamie? Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 1: I kind of like her? I mean too. 'll tell
Speaker 1: us about the guy you want us to call Jamie.
Speaker 1: What's his deal? Okay, So let me tell you a
Speaker 1: little bit about me, because then maybe i'll understand like
Speaker 1: my conundrum. Okay, how quirky? Do you not answer my question?
Speaker 1: That's okay? No, no, no, I don't mean to have
Speaker 1: this is your moment, Jamie. You take it where you
Speaker 1: need to go. Yeah, tell us about it, tells about
Speaker 1: your past. Okay. So here's the thing, Like I am
Speaker 1: super upfront about how on my profile or like the
Speaker 1: second you lay eyes on me, like it's obvious that
Speaker 1: I'm quirky. But the thing is is I don't think
Speaker 1: that guys like they don't really believe that until they
Speaker 1: actually meet me. Can I ask what I mean, what
Speaker 1: would we see if we can't see you? So, like,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about it? The moment you lay
Speaker 1: eyes on you you're quirky? How would you be able
Speaker 1: to tell that? Okay? Okay? So, like I have this thing,
Speaker 1: I'm really obsessed with numerology and the number seven okay,
Speaker 1: and so things like you know, my parents are like
Speaker 1: old hippies, so like the barefoot and stuff all the time,
Speaker 1: and I have to walk into a building barefoot in
Speaker 1: seven steps or some interval of seven. Okay. Well, I
Speaker 1: guess that some po call that quirky. Yes, unsanitary. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways to look at it. Well,
Speaker 1: we've established you definitely are quirky and you have rules
Speaker 1: of sevens. Now, can we learn about the guy that
Speaker 1: you want us to call? What's his name? It's Clay. Okay,
Speaker 1: he is like a really nice guy, and we met
Speaker 1: on Tinder and we had agreed that we were going
Speaker 1: to go to a restaurant. Okay, before we even get
Speaker 1: to the restaurant, does he know about your no shoe
Speaker 1: walk through? I didn't think of that. You have to
Speaker 1: tell people that I didn't know. But it says in
Speaker 1: her profile that she's quirky, so he should just assume
Speaker 1: that quirky is like Zoey Deschanel. Okay, whatever, So how
Speaker 1: did it? How did it go? So? Anyway, Like I
Speaker 1: told you, we agreed to me at a restaurant, and
Speaker 1: I knew I was going to get there in time,
Speaker 1: but I texted him telling him that I would be
Speaker 1: late because, like, I also have this other ritual that
Speaker 1: I like to do, and I do it anytime I
Speaker 1: think really big is happening, like a date or like
Speaker 1: a job interview? What is it? I'm nervous? Yea? And
Speaker 1: what do you do? So I have to drive around
Speaker 1: the block seven times? I always sound so low CD Right,
Speaker 1: but why is it? I mean, do you have a
Speaker 1: reason for it? It's good luck, it's lucky seven. I'll
Speaker 1: give a weird defense to you, right, now, because I
Speaker 1: don't think anyone in the room understands I. Every day
Speaker 1: when I leave my car, no matter where I park,
Speaker 1: I have to put my volume on twelve. I don't
Speaker 1: know why it started a long time ago. Look at
Speaker 1: that quirky part of that fourth that we're talking about
Speaker 1: on this show. Quirky, but I understand her in a way.
Speaker 1: The only thing that would be better if it was
Speaker 1: an interval of seven. So if it's like fourteen or
Speaker 1: for you now you're weirdo okay, okay, So you drove
Speaker 1: around the block seven times before pulling into park at
Speaker 1: the restaurant, I did, And I have one last ritol
Speaker 1: that I do and another one that's okay, do you
Speaker 1: got Jamie Wow? So I love the song. I've got
Speaker 1: a feeling. I got a yeah right right, okay. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, I have to listen to it beginning to end,
Speaker 1: and then I just walk in with my bare feet
Speaker 1: and I'm like groove and I'm like you are. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know how long we've been talking, and all
Speaker 1: we've gotten to is you've entered through the front door.
Speaker 1: I mean seventy minutes. She's gonna take an hour and
Speaker 1: a half of preparation just to get to the dinner. Okay,
Speaker 1: So let's let's go fast forward. You're sitting down with
Speaker 1: Clay at the restaurant. Have you circled the table seven times?
Speaker 1: How did that go? Okay? So I got there and he,
Speaker 1: I guess, said he's like this super a nice guy.
Speaker 1: And I said, I'm sorry, I'm late, and then I
Speaker 1: filled him in on like everything I just told you. Yo, wait,
Speaker 1: in the first like a minute of meeting him, you
Speaker 1: give him all of it? What quirky con I'm sure
Speaker 1: you learned that very fast. That is, it's a lot.
Speaker 1: It's just a lot of information to take it. It's true,
Speaker 1: but Brooke has always said honesty is the best policy. True,
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that she should lie. But at
Speaker 1: what point did you start learning about him? And how
Speaker 1: did he react? I guess it is a better question.
Speaker 1: What did he say? He doesn't seem like he was
Speaker 1: put off by it, because you know, we kept talking
Speaker 1: and then we ordered some food and I just like
Speaker 1: went total junk food. I was like, yes, let's get
Speaker 1: the mozzarella sticks. But I was like, I know, it's
Speaker 1: just eight on the menu. Group. Could you just like
Speaker 1: throw one away. No, you didn't want an odd number seven? Sorry.
Speaker 1: Brook's brain is overloaded with quirkiness right now. She's not
Speaker 1: used to this Normally. I would ask, in this situation,
Speaker 1: can you think of anything weird or unusual that she
Speaker 1: may have done on the date and may have come
Speaker 1: off a little bit strange? But I think we covered
Speaker 1: that maybe too much. Chicken. Oh you guys, you guys,
Speaker 1: I did not tell you about the whole tip sting.
Speaker 1: Oh my gone, what was it? So? You know, because
Speaker 1: he was so nice and he paid for dinner, I said,
Speaker 1: oh my god, could I please leave the tip? Good? Okay?
Speaker 1: So I was sitting there, like trying to pull out
Speaker 1: the cash in my wallet and I just was kind
Speaker 1: of leaving through and he's like, are you okay? And
Speaker 1: I was like, no, no, no, I'm totally fine. I
Speaker 1: just can't decide whether I want to leave thirty five
Speaker 1: or twenty eight dollars? Thirty five or twenty okay? Multiples
Speaker 1: of seven? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry, third grade multiplication tables? Okay,
Speaker 1: why was that weird? You know? I was just taking
Speaker 1: a little too long, you know, And he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: just give her thirty five And then he handed me
Speaker 1: some other cash and we you know, walked out and
Speaker 1: it was great. Oh good, that sounds natural, that sounds easy. Actually,
Speaker 1: how did you end the night? Well, he walked me
Speaker 1: to my car, very gentlemanly, and I was worried that
Speaker 1: I had come across not just like of my normal course,
Speaker 1: but a little high maintenance, you know what I mean. Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, you do have a lot of demands and specifications,
Speaker 1: and that's fine. I mean, if you're high maintenance, your
Speaker 1: high maintenance, and I think that if you can embrace
Speaker 1: that and know that that is you, then other people
Speaker 1: are able to do the same thing. Not high maintenance Brooks.
Speaker 1: She's quirky. Oh god, I mean yeah, we we support it.
Speaker 1: And so here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna play
Speaker 1: a song seven times and then we come back. We'll
Speaker 1: come back and we're gonna play one song. We'll come
Speaker 1: back and we'll call Clay for you. Try and get
Speaker 1: your second date update. Okay, Okay, thank you guys so much.
Speaker 1: All right, hold on second update. It may be the
Speaker 1: quirkiest second date update in our show's history. And if
Speaker 1: you missed the first part, one of our listeners Jamie
Speaker 1: told us she's quirky and she has a few good
Speaker 1: luck rituals that she does on all her dates, all
Speaker 1: revolving around her lucky number seven. Yeah, she drives around
Speaker 1: the block seven times, she has to take seven steps
Speaker 1: into the building while being barefoot. She paid her tip
Speaker 1: thirty five dollars, which Alexis just learned is a multiple
Speaker 1: of seven. But now Jamie's worried that maybe she overquirked
Speaker 1: herself on the date. It was too quirk tastic. Okay,
Speaker 1: we need to move past this quirky work. It's hard
Speaker 1: to move I think we can. I think we could
Speaker 1: do it, Jeff. Yeah, but now Jamie's wanting us to
Speaker 1: reach out to Clayton and see if the quirks were
Speaker 1: too much. How you feeling, Jamie, I gotta fail it.
Speaker 1: She's got the furgy thing too. I forgot to mention
Speaker 1: that's also one of her quirks that she has to
Speaker 1: listen to that song before a big date. You know,
Speaker 1: Although Jamie, it feels like a lot, you know, for
Speaker 1: a first date, but you also are incredibly positive, You
Speaker 1: sound super fun and you do own it all, you know,
Speaker 1: and you're not forcing anybody else to participate in your
Speaker 1: seven rituals. So exactly, I think we can get you
Speaker 1: a second date. Thank you. I'm so excited. Well, let's
Speaker 1: give it a shot. We're gonna call Clayton right now.
Speaker 1: I'm only gonna call him once. You don't have any
Speaker 1: like dialing rituals. Right, there are seven numbers in the
Speaker 1: phone number, so maybe that's enough. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: That's it. There's seven digits and I've already done my
Speaker 1: seven jumping jack, so I was good. All right, I'm
Speaker 1: a dialer right now. Here we go. Hello, Hey, I'm
Speaker 1: looking to speak with clay Who's this. My name is
Speaker 1: Jeffrey from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 1: So I hope we're not waking you up. No, you're
Speaker 1: not waking me up. Oh this is your normal voice.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, I just I'm answering a number I
Speaker 1: don't know. Sorry, we appreciate the risk you just took it. Ye,
Speaker 1: we do. We understand what it's like picking up an
Speaker 1: unknown number. You're very brave. I just gonna let you
Speaker 1: know where. They're the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the Morning, and we're doing a segment called a second
Speaker 1: date Update that we would like you to be part of.
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, I have no idea what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. Okay, well, it's all right. Let me just
Speaker 1: fail you in on how this works. Basically, if you
Speaker 1: go out on a date with somebody, and afterwards, if
Speaker 1: that person isn't calling you back, you can email our
Speaker 1: show and we'll reach out to them for you to
Speaker 1: try and figure out the reason why. So, somebody emailed
Speaker 1: us trying to get a hold of you. Her name
Speaker 1: is Jamie. Okay, all right, and Jamie told us all
Speaker 1: about the date that you guys had and how things
Speaker 1: went from her perspective, and she said she had a
Speaker 1: really nice time with you. She told you all about it.
Speaker 1: What did she tell you? She told us a lot,
Speaker 1: a lot. She admits herself that she's a little bit quirky,
Speaker 1: and she has some good luck rituals that she likes
Speaker 1: to do during a date. And it sounds like in
Speaker 1: the first minute she dumped all these facts on you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: admittedly it was a lot, but I mean, like I
Speaker 1: get it. I gotta say that I applaud her honesty
Speaker 1: and bravery, which is nice. You know, you don't often
Speaker 1: see that a lot. Okay, so you liked her then, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, like, there were some weird things, Like
Speaker 1: she does, She's got some odd things. What's the one
Speaker 1: thing that really stuck out to you is as the
Speaker 1: most quirky unusual. Well, the only thing that she really
Speaker 1: said that really kind of caught me off guard was like,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we were saying her goodbyes,
Speaker 1: rot by her car, We've already agreed that we're going
Speaker 1: to see each other again, and then she told me
Speaker 1: that one of her quirks, as we say, is that
Speaker 1: she doesn't like to get shall we say, romantic until
Speaker 1: date number twenty one. Yeah, here's the thing. I totally
Speaker 1: understand that. I just am not certain that I'm capable
Speaker 1: of waiting that long because between her schedules it might
Speaker 1: be a year and a half. Yeah, okay, slow out.
Speaker 1: I mean, does she mean all of the romantic or
Speaker 1: are you even talking about like kissing and other things?
Speaker 1: She kind of generalized it, but it seemed like pretty
Speaker 1: much anything physical twenty one date? But why, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't see it as terrible. It's not like she's
Speaker 1: saying that's gonna go how many people to even make
Speaker 1: it on twenty one. I try to be open minded here. Yes,
Speaker 1: of course, I'm a person in the room that obviously
Speaker 1: would not do this. I would choose, But everybody has
Speaker 1: their boundaries and ways they feel like they can connect
Speaker 1: to people and feel safe. And so did she give
Speaker 1: you a reason? That's just part of her thing, And again,
Speaker 1: nothing against it. I'm not certain that I can wait
Speaker 1: that long, and it's not fair to her to, you know,
Speaker 1: string her along or what. Well, you haven't even gone
Speaker 1: on a second date yet, and don't you think that
Speaker 1: you decide that. Don't you think that you should tell
Speaker 1: her that you're not okay with her? Twenty one date rule?
Speaker 1: If that's how you feel, dude, If I, if I
Speaker 1: say something like that, I sound like a total jerk,
Speaker 1: you know, I like, oh, yeah, I'd love to date
Speaker 1: you again, but I don't want to win a year
Speaker 1: and a half, Like come on, man, I sound like
Speaker 1: ale If I say that, I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 1: The only way to know that is if we asked Jamie, Jamie,
Speaker 1: do you think that he sounded like a total jerk
Speaker 1: when he said that I'm talking about and she's not
Speaker 1: with me right now? Well, no, actually she kind of is,
Speaker 1: because I need to let you know that Jamie's been
Speaker 1: on the other line listening and she wants to talk
Speaker 1: to you. No, are you serious right now? Yeah, I'm serious, Jamie. Hi, Hi, Clary.
Speaker 1: You don't sound mad, Jamie. You're upset about him not
Speaker 1: liking the twenty one day rule. I'm just surprised that
Speaker 1: he brought it up at all because it's like so personal,
Speaker 1: so intimately, you know, that's why I didn't tell you
Speaker 1: about it earlier. But like, of course I'm not mad.
Speaker 1: I hadn't even thought about the calendar problem of it all.
Speaker 1: Like that's totally true because in my head and I
Speaker 1: know I totally did not tell you this. But like
Speaker 1: if we did like three things, like we went to
Speaker 1: a botanic gard in and then we went to lunch
Speaker 1: and then we went for a walk, that's like three days.
Speaker 1: Oh did you hear that? So you're saying we can
Speaker 1: check off these things like a multiple destinations in the
Speaker 1: same day, like we could narrow it down to where
Speaker 1: it's not like, are you gonna have to what you're saying?
Speaker 1: I mean, be careful how you answered this, Jamie, because
Speaker 1: he's trying to find a shortcut to get to twenty
Speaker 1: one activities as quickly as possible. You go to dinner,
Speaker 1: you have coffee to start. That's one day. You have dinner,
Speaker 1: that second dessert. I would go. I would take her
Speaker 1: to a carnival. I'd be like, we did the balloon bood,
Speaker 1: we did the really toss Jamie, your date math is
Speaker 1: going to get you in trouble. Does this count as
Speaker 1: a date, Jamie? In your mind? You know what, it's
Speaker 1: probably my most unconventional date to date. So yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: All right, so look at that we have. We have
Speaker 1: two dates out of the way already. Yeah. Bang, I
Speaker 1: feel like the way you told to me originally, like
Speaker 1: I don't want to make you do something you don't
Speaker 1: want to do. Yeah, Clay's got to play. Oh my god, No,
Speaker 1: that's always same. No. He was actually saying something like,
Speaker 1: it's almost impossible to get any guy to say, which
Speaker 1: is he actually cares about what I like and what
Speaker 1: I need. That's so kind and gentlemanly of you. That's
Speaker 1: the first half of what he said. The second half was,
Speaker 1: but I'm not willing to wait that long. Okay, but listen, listen, Jamie.
Speaker 1: I mean I think the thing is, is it sticking
Speaker 1: to a certain number of anything is going to make
Speaker 1: life very rigid, and it's not going to make things
Speaker 1: feel natural between you two of how chemistry evolves and
Speaker 1: how YouTube change your attitudes towards each other. And I
Speaker 1: could totally respect that opinion. But I'm me and I'm honest,
Speaker 1: and I'm upfront and I'm quirky, and it's totally fine
Speaker 1: if that does not like work or vibe or jibe
Speaker 1: with whatever is going on for Clay or like anybody else. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you do you eat baby? I mean Clay?
Speaker 1: Do you like her more right now than you thought
Speaker 1: you even did before? Because she is really positive? I
Speaker 1: really you're starting to understand the things that I adored
Speaker 1: the first time. Like I said, she's got quarks, but
Speaker 1: she's an amazing person. Like she's she's totally likable. And
Speaker 1: we've already talked long enough. We're already at like date
Speaker 1: number three at least, so changing the topic of conversation
Speaker 1: counts as on you d You know, Jeff's a lot
Speaker 1: of ways you can follow the rule. It's a good thing,
Speaker 1: more than one way to scan a cat. Well, let's
Speaker 1: change up the conversation topic one more time and offer
Speaker 1: to send you guys out on another date. You don't
Speaker 1: know what number it is. I don't. I don't know
Speaker 1: where we're at now, but we're gonna offer to pay
Speaker 1: for it. Clay, what do you say? Like I said,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm fine with the normal waiting for three
Speaker 1: to five, seven, et cetera. Okay, we'll have quarks too,
Speaker 1: they just don't have to be in the intervals to
Speaker 1: seventh at minor. Yeh, done with the number seven. I
Speaker 1: heard play say yes, Yeah, that's the important That's what
Speaker 1: I heard. Okay, focus on that. Jeffrey, Jamie, are we
Speaker 1: still on? Oh yeah, I'm definitely going out with him,
Speaker 1: are you right? Successful second date update seven times to
Speaker 1: make it. I'm going how with him? I'm going out
Speaker 1: with him and going out with him her Brooke and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning
