Speaker 1: Abby Monday, it is your Second Date podcast. Thanks so
Speaker 1: much for being here. It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning,
Speaker 1: and I would love in the comments today for people
Speaker 1: to share the awkward ways their date ended, you know,
Speaker 1: not all or.
Speaker 2: Just a simple kiss or a little hog news.
Speaker 1: Some of them get weird and that definitely happened in
Speaker 1: today's Second Date Update.
Speaker 2: Yep, so let us know because you know we love
Speaker 2: reading your comments. What do you see?
Speaker 3: Lex Yes seven Ish said, Hey, guys, listening all the
Speaker 3: way from Malaysia.
Speaker 4: Cool.
Speaker 3: I discovered the show through a Second Date Update clip
Speaker 3: on TikTok and I've been hooked ever since. I started
Speaker 3: with the Second Date playlist. Then I moved on to
Speaker 3: Awkward Tuesdays and mass speakers, and now I'm all in
Speaker 3: on the full show.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I mean you do get a full hour
Speaker 1: if you somehow want more of this. Remember we have
Speaker 1: a second podcast feed that is just Brook and Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: It's the same goofy pictures of us in the in
Speaker 1: the in the pod, but you'll find it and you
Speaker 1: can get even more.
Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna start your Second Date right now.
Speaker 5: Second Date Update. I'm not sure if you guys remember this.
Speaker 5: But about six months ago, we did an awkward Tuesday
Speaker 5: phone call with a listener named Kevin who wanted to
Speaker 5: ask out his coworker and he was super nervous about
Speaker 5: it needed our advice. The call wasn't perfect. Yeah, he
Speaker 5: had some stumbles along the way, But she's sound like
Speaker 5: every call that we do, absolutely flawless.
Speaker 2: I'm tried to remember what happened In.
Speaker 5: The end, she did say yes and agree to a
Speaker 5: date with him. I guess I don't know. It was
Speaker 5: a yes bottom line. Now, apparently they went out a
Speaker 5: few times, things fizzled, didn't quite last. So Kevin has
Speaker 5: jumped back into the beautiful oasis we call the modern
Speaker 5: dating pool. And again, that was months ago. So, Kevin,
Speaker 5: how's it been. Have you had a lot of dates
Speaker 5: in that time?
Speaker 4: Like ten ten, ten days?
Speaker 5: You did dates in the last two years.
Speaker 2: You're doing some work. Congratulations, you're a catch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I actually haven't had a second date.
Speaker 2: But is that from your choosing, Like maybe you didn't
Speaker 2: want to go out again with any of them.
Speaker 4: No, I would have been happy to go out with
Speaker 4: really any of them again.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, that's hard. You're here we're going to
Speaker 2: help you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they haven't been the greatest. I actually had a
Speaker 4: really bad one. Yeah she was a nice girl, I thought,
Speaker 4: But when I walked her out to her cards opened
Speaker 4: the door, and then she just suck her punched me,
Speaker 4: and then drove off.
Speaker 5: Wait what did you say? I did not expect that sentence?
Speaker 2: That is terrible face? Did she punch you in the face?
Speaker 4: It was actually in the back of my head. I
Speaker 4: was opening her door, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: I just felt.
Speaker 5: This, like, did you ask permission to open the door
Speaker 5: for her? Because she mayn't really have not liked that
Speaker 5: fast enough for her.
Speaker 4: Maybe so, I don't know if she thought I was
Speaker 4: going to kiss her or your head?
Speaker 2: How are you going to kiss her?
Speaker 5: Maybe she thought that you were trying to steal her car.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 2: It has to be a self defense.
Speaker 5: He's not like, give me the keys.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Wasn't that bad? I don't know.
Speaker 5: Some people give off natural grand theft daughter vibes, so
Speaker 5: maybe you fell into that category.
Speaker 2: Ask for you? Okay?
Speaker 5: Now I am yeah, concu so a sucker punch girl
Speaker 5: the one you want us to call for a second date. Update,
Speaker 5: We'll call her fighter. Well, who do you want to call?
Speaker 4: I've had this really bad luck until I met Chelsea.
Speaker 5: Chelsea, Okay, it's a new girl.
Speaker 2: Hey, okay, no physical violence.
Speaker 5: I hope you'll tell us about your I'm assuming you
Speaker 5: went on a date with Chelsea.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she didn't punch me.
Speaker 5: Actually perfect, we're improving.
Speaker 4: I thought, a good sign, and we connected the best
Speaker 4: out of all of the first dates I went on.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well what made what made it the best?
Speaker 4: Felt like I could talk to her because like when
Speaker 4: we went on our coffee date, it was a good conversation,
Speaker 4: even though it didn't last very long. Okay, it was
Speaker 4: actually like twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: Why was it so short?
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not really sure my friends got by
Speaker 4: and by your friend? Yeah, I don't really know why.
Speaker 5: Okay, So you had a friend come by randomly and
Speaker 5: you talk to the friend a little bit, and you
Speaker 5: feel like maybe she got offended that the attention was
Speaker 5: taken away from her.
Speaker 4: I make I don't know. That would be weird to me.
Speaker 5: She got a friend in what.
Speaker 1: Happens if you're only there for twenty minutes and you
Speaker 1: have a five minute conversation with a friend, that's one
Speaker 1: fourth of the date, they learned.
Speaker 5: Trying to play it off. Hey, Brooke, good to see
Speaker 5: you here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, are too successful and beautiful.
Speaker 5: I feel like I normally wouldn't ask this, but I
Speaker 5: feel like I need to know Chelsea. She's not the barista, right,
Speaker 5: You're not considering that a date. That's creative, Like she
Speaker 5: doesn't work there.
Speaker 4: No, she doesn't work there.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's a good question. How did it end? Yeah,
Speaker 5: after the twenty minutes? How did you two leave it?
Speaker 4: She said she had to do something, so we got
Speaker 4: up and left. And I guess that was kind of
Speaker 4: weird too, because I was kind of like behind her
Speaker 4: for a couple of blocks. She what walked.
Speaker 5: Away the same direction.
Speaker 2: That's like the most awing ever.
Speaker 5: And then she started to jog, and then you started
Speaker 5: to jog. You're like, hey, I'm gonna run out of
Speaker 5: someone weird chases you.
Speaker 4: I end up I lost her, I.
Speaker 1: Lost you, I think, Yeah, that's really Did she know
Speaker 1: you were back there?
Speaker 4: I don't think so. I don't know.
Speaker 5: Okay, but you weren't following her. That was just a
Speaker 5: coincidence you had the same route home.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 1: I hate that even when that happens with my friends,
Speaker 1: were saying goodbye at the restaurant, and then we're like.
Speaker 5: Yeah, get it, you get it all right? So how
Speaker 5: long has it been since this twenty minute date?
Speaker 4: I credit two weeks?
Speaker 2: Two weeks? Okay, I have you reached out much with her?
Speaker 4: I was texting her quite a bit?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we may, said, yeah, we might.
Speaker 5: We might find out if you've crossed any lines or
Speaker 5: how many texts you've actually sent when we call her here.
Speaker 3: I think it's more how far he did cross.
Speaker 5: Them, or maybe they were right in that sweet spot.
Speaker 5: We don't know, Brooke. Remember when you said you had hope.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do have hope as long as you didn't
Speaker 1: send her a picture of the back of her.
Speaker 2: Head as she was walking away from you.
Speaker 5: On this he was just trying to make sure she
Speaker 5: doesn't get sucker punched back there. What did I was
Speaker 5: going to.
Speaker 4: Say when I was on last time, Brooke? You told
Speaker 4: me to be more certain, So I'm really trying to
Speaker 4: be here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, in their car.
Speaker 2: There's a balance that we need to discuss. But maybe enough.
Speaker 5: Period and weren't trying to be weird. You were just
Speaker 5: trying to walk to your car.
Speaker 2: And maybe that's not why she's not calling me back
Speaker 2: at all.
Speaker 5: We're making stuff. Okay, well let's call her and use
Speaker 5: that assertion to aggressively get you a second date. When
Speaker 5: we called Chelsea right after this hold on second date update,
Speaker 5: don't you hate it when you're on a first date
Speaker 5: and the girl says she has to go and you
Speaker 5: accidentally follow her all the way home? No, jef, I
Speaker 5: think it.
Speaker 1: Was only three blocks to be fair, I mean enough
Speaker 1: blocks to be alarming.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you lost her. That's what happened to our listener, Kevin.
Speaker 5: Sort of. He wasn't following his date Chelsea on purpose.
Speaker 5: They just left the coffee shop at the same time,
Speaker 5: and he coincidentally was walking behind her on the street
Speaker 5: for a long, long while.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, at any point, did you think I
Speaker 1: should take a different route.
Speaker 5: Or just stop for a second? No, stop, hope, he
Speaker 5: didn't think speed up, let me catch up with her.
Speaker 5: Did that thought come to your mind at all, Kevin,
Speaker 5: any of those?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I didn't think it was that weird, and
Speaker 4: so I've been thinking about it, like while we were
Speaker 4: on hold, and I think you should tell her that
Speaker 4: I didn't intentionally walk behind her, because I really did it.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you want you want us to let her
Speaker 2: know that?
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 5: We're not exactly sure what happened there. We just know
Speaker 5: that the date was only twenty minutes long, which is
Speaker 5: kind of short to get to know someone. That's honestly
Speaker 5: the bigger concern for me, like why did she only
Speaker 5: stay for twenty minutes? The following is a totally different story.
Speaker 5: If you were in a hurry, why would you even
Speaker 5: schedule a date during that time?
Speaker 1: They were just trying to squeeze it in and it's
Speaker 1: like one of those pre dates where it's just like
Speaker 1: a quick coffee, like will this be worth a full night?
Speaker 5: You didn't catfish her with like a photo of Liam Hemsworth,
Speaker 5: did you, because you do sound like a Liam to
Speaker 5: me right now, kind of hunky.
Speaker 4: I'm actually bushing right now. But no, does a name could.
Speaker 5: Have fooled me. Let's call Chelsea here. We'll see if
Speaker 5: we can get an explanation from her. If she picks up,
Speaker 5: all right, here we go. Hello, Hey is this Chelsea?
Speaker 6: This is who's calling?
Speaker 5: This is a radio show calling called Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 5: in the morning.
Speaker 6: Hey, Chelsea, Uh what what?
Speaker 4: What? Is this.
Speaker 5: This is fun for some of us. It's fun. It's
Speaker 5: a segment we do call the Second Date Update. And
Speaker 5: we're looking at sorry.
Speaker 1: Okay, just listening, just actively listening.
Speaker 5: By interrupting me. But let's okay. We're trying to help
Speaker 5: out one of our listeners that you went out on
Speaker 5: a date with recently. He says he had a really
Speaker 5: good time with you, but it ended kind of short.
Speaker 5: His name is Kevin.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm hoping that was a smile and not a laugh.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sensitive.
Speaker 5: We're calling because Kevin told us a little bit about
Speaker 5: your guys' date coffee date, coffee date, and from what
Speaker 5: we heard, it sound pretty fun.
Speaker 2: Tame short.
Speaker 6: That was two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he he liked you, He thought you were awesome.
Speaker 2: He wanted to see you again.
Speaker 5: He said he's been pursuing it actually and texting you,
Speaker 5: trying to organize something, but he doesn't understand why nothing's happening.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has sent me quite a few texts, but
Speaker 6: I guess I'm confused as to why he doesn't understand
Speaker 6: why he start moving forward.
Speaker 2: Did you write him back?
Speaker 4: He?
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess we never asked if you ever
Speaker 2: texted him back.
Speaker 6: From my perspective, he was pretty obvious.
Speaker 5: The only the only idea that he had about the
Speaker 5: date about why it would have ended so quickly is
Speaker 5: he did mention one of his friends stopped by and said.
Speaker 4: Hi, that's what he said.
Speaker 6: He he said, a friend stopped by.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like that.
Speaker 2: You think that they weren't actually friends?
Speaker 5: Was it his ex?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 6: I mean, as far as I know, I don't think
Speaker 6: it was an ex, but I don't know. Thirty seconds
Speaker 6: a minute into us meeting at the coffee shop, this
Speaker 6: guy comes over and sits like right next to us,
Speaker 6: isn't looking at me at all. So I asked Kevin.
Speaker 6: I was like, Hi, can we introduce him?
Speaker 4: He's like, well, no, no, don't.
Speaker 6: He's not engaging in the conversation. He's just my emotional
Speaker 6: support friend.
Speaker 5: Emotional support friend.
Speaker 6: So originally I thought he might have been kidding, and
Speaker 6: so I laugh and he's like, it's not funny.
Speaker 4: This is Charles.
Speaker 6: I've had a couple of poor dates, and Charles is
Speaker 6: really there to just kind of help me with my
Speaker 6: confidence and communicate more effectively. I mean, I think if
Speaker 6: maybe I had been given a heads up, I would
Speaker 6: have been more.
Speaker 4: Open to the idea.
Speaker 5: Emotional support friend.
Speaker 1: Vest Dude, that's amazing that he can find a friend
Speaker 1: that will take the time to go on a day
Speaker 1: with him. I mean, but I'll say I think that
Speaker 1: that says a lot about Vin that he must.
Speaker 2: Be a good I need to know, is Charles sitting
Speaker 2: on his phone? Is he's just listening.
Speaker 5: We got the impression that he just popped in real
Speaker 5: quick and left.
Speaker 4: No, not at all.
Speaker 6: He was there the whole time. He wasn't really engaging
Speaker 6: in the conversation. He was just there.
Speaker 2: Did he hype Kevin up ever? You know, like he's sport?
Speaker 6: I mean, he laughed at some of the things that
Speaker 6: Kevin said, but beyond that, there wasn't much in her action.
Speaker 2: Everybody friend Charles a few tables over.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we didn't know that was how it played out.
Speaker 5: We got a little bit of a different version of
Speaker 5: that story.
Speaker 2: Charles is on the phone too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because, oh my god, we have an emotional support
Speaker 5: friend quietly listening on the other line right now. Just
Speaker 5: to make sure that I do a good job with
Speaker 5: this segment. And that person is Kevin.
Speaker 6: Kevin's here, what he's on the phone?
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's really Actually he wants to talk in this conversation,
Speaker 5: so I'm going to give him permission to jump in
Speaker 5: and say something.
Speaker 1: Okay, if he's there, Keviny there, Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 2: How you doing, buddy, I'm good.
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm listening. Yeah, I don't understand what the
Speaker 4: big deal is really, Kevin.
Speaker 5: When did you get an emotional support bro? You didn't
Speaker 5: tell us about that? Well?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, a friend is a friend. He doesn't
Speaker 4: need like a title or.
Speaker 5: You sounds like you gave him a title. You you
Speaker 5: called him your emotional support friend.
Speaker 1: Kevin, you brought him along on the date and didn't
Speaker 1: tell us the whole time.
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, he was there, but he was there
Speaker 4: for me.
Speaker 5: Sure, sure, Chelsea. Do you see where he's coming from?
Speaker 6: I guess. I mean, but you kind of have to
Speaker 6: put my like yourself in my shoes, Kevin, And it's
Speaker 6: it's a little bizarre to just have a third person
Speaker 6: there without kind of giving the heads up why, and
Speaker 6: not engaging really in the conversation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, are you mad because he didn't laugh at your
Speaker 4: jokes and he has.
Speaker 5: I'd be mad. That's a good question, guys, Chelsea.
Speaker 6: No, not really. I don't think I was particularly funny
Speaker 6: because I was kind of creeped out by the whole thing.
Speaker 1: I told so many jokes and just I mean, Kevin,
Speaker 1: do you think that maybe you could have told her
Speaker 1: prior to the date that he was coming along.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's going to be right.
Speaker 4: I didn't need to tell her because he wasn't going
Speaker 4: to do anything. Like, he's just the wallpaper. He's going
Speaker 4: to be there now for me.
Speaker 5: So what I think, Kevin, Chelsea is saying that it's
Speaker 5: hard for her to connect romantically with you.
Speaker 6: I don't even mean romantically, I just mean as a
Speaker 6: person to person it's hard.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kevin, it's a little bit distracting, Kevin.
Speaker 6: Maybe he's waiting for Charles to responds.
Speaker 5: Charles speak up right now?
Speaker 4: Okay, so it's a little bit distracting, I guess. But
Speaker 4: like the thing is, I can tell him to do
Speaker 4: whatever I want. Does that make sense because I'm the
Speaker 4: one that's paying him?
Speaker 5: Oh you paying.
Speaker 1: Hard?
Speaker 4: I mean, okay, yeah, he was technically not facing you
Speaker 4: for the time. But I mean, I could guess I
Speaker 4: could get him to like face the wall if you
Speaker 4: really wanted.
Speaker 5: Well, I do think that would be better. That's that's
Speaker 5: at least a good first step. Can we agree on that?
Speaker 2: Awkward Kevin?
Speaker 5: I mean, people need to tell him we left the rest.
Speaker 6: Of the day.
Speaker 5: But the blindfolded a ball game, you can't see, you
Speaker 5: can't speak.
Speaker 2: Compare the both of you. Emotional support is totally normal
Speaker 2: and needed. But let's get you a dog or you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but dogs can't laugh.
Speaker 4: At jokes exactly. And it was a good date.
Speaker 2: It wasn't.
Speaker 6: Did you hear it wasn't a good date. I am
Speaker 6: so sorry, y'all. I don't understand why this was even
Speaker 6: a conversation. It is awkward and weird, and I've got
Speaker 6: to go. I hope you all have a great day.
Speaker 5: Sounds like you need an emotional support friend to deal
Speaker 5: with that.
Speaker 4: She keeps having to go, and I think that's true.
Speaker 1: She's not interested, and I don't know that you're going
Speaker 1: to find many that are interested when Charles.
Speaker 2: Has to be there with you. But a dog, a
Speaker 2: lot of women would be interested.
Speaker 4: Yeah, emotional for animals are kind of weird. I prefer people.
Speaker 5: Okay, Okay, well maybe again, maybe just follow her home
Speaker 5: again and see.
Speaker 2: If she.
Speaker 5: Stops brook Jeffrey in the morning, Man, I don't say
Speaker 5: this about many people, but this show is an open
Speaker 5: door for Kevin whenever he wants to come back. He
Speaker 5: is officially a friend of the show, even if he
Speaker 5: wasn't being one hundred per century full with us about
Speaker 5: his emotional support friend. I like him and I would
Speaker 5: let him follow me home anytime.
Speaker 1: Is he the only one that pushes back on dogs
Speaker 1: that people are better than dogs?
Speaker 2: They're not, Kevin. People are your problem.
Speaker 5: Yeah, everybody agrees. All the people on the textboard, they're
Speaker 5: saying dogs.
Speaker 2: Are better than bele Yes, get the right emotional support.
Speaker 5: Actually, wait, did his emotional support friend follow Chelsea home too?
Speaker 2: So there's two dudes following.
Speaker 5: If there's two guys following you, now, I kind of
Speaker 5: understand the creepiness, especially when he's talking to his friend
Speaker 5: and going, what is the boy?
Speaker 1: You didn't understand the creepiness when the guy was sitting
Speaker 1: next to him staring at her.
Speaker 5: The date itself was pretty odd. Yeah, I mean he's
Speaker 5: just being supportive.
Speaker 2: No better ways.
Speaker 5: Yeah, way hoped you should have done a FaceTime totally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he honestly could have had him on
Speaker 1: speakerphone and just set the phone on the bay, you know.
Speaker 5: There's lots of life lessons to be taken from these segments,
Speaker 5: and you can go find them online wherever you get
Speaker 5: your podcast at Brook and Jeffrey and then email the show.
Speaker 5: We can call that person who wasn't calling you back
Speaker 2: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
