Speaker 1: Welcome to the Second Date Podcast. Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for being here, just letting you know that you get
Speaker 1: a little special treat today because.
Speaker 2: Usually we're Monday, Wednesday, Friday for this podcast, but today
Speaker 2: we got an update update, which means one of our
Speaker 2: couples that actually went out called back in to give
Speaker 2: us an update on the relationship, which.
Speaker 1: We really did.
Speaker 3: I know, it's really fine.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna play the original second Date so you
Speaker 2: know what's going on, and then stick around for the
Speaker 2: end where we get to talk to them both.
Speaker 3: Dude, and it's great you get the immediate follow up.
Speaker 3: Imagine the people that heard this and had to wait months.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So all right, here we go.
Speaker 3: Second Date Update.
Speaker 4: Nothing worse than coming off of a first date knowing
Speaker 4: that you made a mistake.
Speaker 1: Jose knows that feeling too well.
Speaker 3: You just brought up a bunch of memories from like
Speaker 3: last week. Yeah, man, I never should have ordered the
Speaker 3: King Crab. While I'm definitely allergic to shelfing, I think.
Speaker 2: But it's impressive when you do it because it means
Speaker 2: you're balling out.
Speaker 3: I just keep stabbing myself off in the neck with
Speaker 3: an epipenn every five minutes. I can get through this.
Speaker 2: The mouth counts as a first kiss turned on by
Speaker 2: one of our listeners wrote to the show saying he
Speaker 2: knows that he messed up, but he's hoping that his
Speaker 2: date didn't notice.
Speaker 3: The thing is, once I read what the mistake was,
Speaker 3: I mean, how could she not know? Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: What were you thinking?
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I don't know what I was thinking.
Speaker 5: I thought, if I if I just kind of brought
Speaker 5: in a little like added level of elevation.
Speaker 1: That wait, real quick, real quick. What's her name?
Speaker 5: Casey?
Speaker 3: Okay, that you met? Start at the beginning, tell us
Speaker 3: what went wrong?
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, So we talked a little bit on on
Speaker 5: dating app and we're like, it's just paying at a
Speaker 5: local bar near my house.
Speaker 2: So it seems innocent enough, easy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I thought it might be a
Speaker 5: good idea to talk in a light British accent for
Speaker 5: a little bit. Do you always hear the concept that
Speaker 5: men with accents or sexiar And you.
Speaker 2: Know, couldn't she see on your dating bio that you
Speaker 2: weren't British?
Speaker 1: I guess they would if I mean, if I had European.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I was British and I was
Speaker 2: on dating apps, it would be the first thing I would,
Speaker 2: you know, swipe right of.
Speaker 1: You around London.
Speaker 3: To be fair, I don't think that you need to
Speaker 3: be British to use a British accent. I don't think
Speaker 3: women would care if you do a good enough one.
Speaker 1: It could be pretty bad.
Speaker 2: Talk to Britney Spears about how well that works out
Speaker 2: for her.
Speaker 3: Maybe he has a great British accent. Can we get
Speaker 3: a sample of it?
Speaker 5: Well, I quite fondly, pawn, that's.
Speaker 3: Just all right.
Speaker 1: You really did it on the date, like from the
Speaker 1: very start.
Speaker 5: Well, I was a lot more locked in the day
Speaker 5: of the date. I was practicing all day, even when
Speaker 5: I was like going to like the gas station earlier,
Speaker 5: I was trying to be in character to make sure
Speaker 5: I had it down.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we know why she's ghosting you.
Speaker 2: What was her response when she first heard you talk like.
Speaker 5: That, Well, she asked if I was from there, and
Speaker 5: I said I lived over there, just for a couple
Speaker 5: of months, like studying abroad. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wait, is that his lie or is that really true
Speaker 2: that you lived over there?
Speaker 3: It was a lie, okay.
Speaker 5: But that's not the point. Okay, I wanted to sell
Speaker 5: the story.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you told her in a couple of months
Speaker 2: you developed an accent, that's right, and.
Speaker 3: Then moved and forgot everything.
Speaker 5: Do you ever go to Canada and then next thing
Speaker 5: you know, you're saying a after.
Speaker 1: Everything, it's not the same.
Speaker 4: Met you a very impressionable young man.
Speaker 1: That's okay to Casey by it. That's what I want
Speaker 1: to know.
Speaker 5: It felt like if she stuck around, she was into it.
Speaker 5: That's how I played it. So she was sticking around,
Speaker 5: we were still hanging.
Speaker 1: Okay, did you ever reveal your real voice?
Speaker 5: You know, about two drinks in, I started kind of
Speaker 5: letting it slip, my normal talking accent, but only in
Speaker 5: a few sentences here and there.
Speaker 4: You're like Mel Gibson in Braveheart, like a couple with
Speaker 4: an accent, a couple with an American accent.
Speaker 3: The place.
Speaker 5: Yeah, during like the course of an hour and a half,
Speaker 5: I probably went in and out of the accent half
Speaker 5: a dozen times. But some of the word could go
Speaker 5: either way. So I kind of thought, ash, maybe she
Speaker 5: didn't notice certain parts of it.
Speaker 2: I don't understand what's the long play on this, because
Speaker 2: if you actually like this girl and you.
Speaker 1: Want to go out with her again.
Speaker 2: You can't continue this your entire relationship.
Speaker 5: Well, I figured I could slowly water it down until
Speaker 5: it was back to my normal accent, because the thought
Speaker 5: being I had been back in town long enough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're reacclimating back into the American accident.
Speaker 4: Start wearing like cutoff shirts and like get really American, w.
Speaker 3: Southern accent, spitt and chew.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 3: Okay, so how did you two leave it?
Speaker 5: So we ended the day and it seemed fine, and
Speaker 5: then we just kind of went about our business.
Speaker 2: So are you prepared to tell the truth when we
Speaker 2: call her next or are you wanting to keep up
Speaker 2: this farce?
Speaker 5: I don't know what do you guys think? Bro?
Speaker 1: I think you have to use Look, this is a
Speaker 1: joke from the first ten minutes.
Speaker 2: Then you tell her the way where show from the
Speaker 2: BBC and we all call with a British accent.
Speaker 1: You like it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's practice it right now? Oh K.
Speaker 2: Sometimes there's Australia has multiple networks, So we're really going
Speaker 2: to terrify this girl when we come back and scream
Speaker 2: at her in a bunch of different accents and try
Speaker 2: to get you a date.
Speaker 3: Make some tea.
Speaker 4: You're going to do it with your second date update
Speaker 4: right after this.
Speaker 3: Hold on that second date update.
Speaker 1: You're in the middle of a second date update update,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna find out how the couple is right
Speaker 1: after you here. Part two.
Speaker 4: This is the news intro from the actual BBC.
Speaker 3: I knew that, and.
Speaker 4: I I genuinely don't believe that we can actually pull
Speaker 4: this off. But it's actually more of a moral dilemma
Speaker 4: for us right now than it is for our listener, Mitch,
Speaker 4: who's asked us for a second date update because he
Speaker 4: faked a British accent during his first date to impress
Speaker 4: a girl.
Speaker 2: He half faked it, yeah, yeah, the American kept slipping out,
Speaker 2: so clearly.
Speaker 4: It didn't go very well for him, and that's why
Speaker 4: he's reached out to us for help. And now Brooke
Speaker 4: has suggested that we follow his lie and pretend to
Speaker 4: call the woman that he went out with, named Casey,
Speaker 4: pretending to be from the news desk at the BBC
Speaker 4: in London.
Speaker 1: That's right, Jeffrey.
Speaker 2: We're here in ron job right and on the job
Speaker 2: what do they call it there?
Speaker 1: Job sounds to American. Yeah, we're in the office, we're
Speaker 1: at the.
Speaker 5: Bathroom.
Speaker 4: I don't this might be a this might be a disaster.
Speaker 4: But I have thought long and hard about what to
Speaker 4: do here. And Mitch, are you still there?
Speaker 5: I am still there?
Speaker 3: Okay, So I think for better or for worse?
Speaker 1: Oh, you think we need to tell the truth.
Speaker 3: We should try the British accents for entertainment purposes. It's
Speaker 3: a pact that we're all making, and it together. We
Speaker 3: all go down together, us full along with all good
Speaker 3: buddy Mitch Mitchell. No not Mitch.
Speaker 2: Mitch's American Mitch is like a flat make that you've
Speaker 2: had since college.
Speaker 3: We need to stop with the accents.
Speaker 4: So we're gonna drive all of our listeners away on
Speaker 4: every continent.
Speaker 3: Mitch. We're willing to do this for you.
Speaker 4: We just have to be from some sort of British
Speaker 4: radio show and we're doing a segment called the Second
Speaker 4: Date shack off.
Speaker 5: This is awesome. Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Oh God, I don't know why. Jeffrey sounds like a
Speaker 1: mail Mary Poppins.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: Very formal. These Americans are their enthusiasm. I love it. Okay,
Speaker 3: let us give Casey a ring, shall we?
Speaker 5: Yes? Hello?
Speaker 3: Hello? Is is this an American woman named.
Speaker 5: Casey who's calling.
Speaker 3: Hello, Apologies for disrupting your day. I'm Jonathan Clark from
Speaker 3: BBC Radio four. You're on our morning talk show here
Speaker 3: in London. Oh Hello, Hello, I apologize. That's my co host.
Speaker 3: She is quite drunk this morning. I apologize. Casey. Are
Speaker 3: you there?
Speaker 5: Yes, there's some joke.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no joke. We've we've phoned you today
Speaker 3: because we're delving into the racous dating line of cheeky Americans.
Speaker 1: Those Americans you mean British men.
Speaker 3: No, no, Americans. Quite a few Irish coffees this month's
Speaker 3: So your name was actually given to us by one
Speaker 3: of our listeners, a former local bloke named Mitchell.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, the two of you had a bit of
Speaker 5: a snog and a bob the other night at an
Speaker 5: American tavern. I'm not sure what that means, but we
Speaker 5: had a date the other night.
Speaker 3: Yes, So our jobs this morning is we would like
Speaker 3: to pry if you don't mind, and ask you a
Speaker 3: bit about how it went.
Speaker 5: Okay, hold on, So Mitch talked to you all the way,
Speaker 5: that's right. Where are you?
Speaker 3: Yes, Mitch, Mitch spoke to us earlier. He said you
Speaker 3: two had a wicked good time may have got a
Speaker 3: bit knockered at the bar, and we all want to
Speaker 3: know is it factual or just a load of rubbish?
Speaker 3: She said it was quite lovely.
Speaker 1: Though quite lovely, Well, she was quite lovely stature you can.
Speaker 3: We're trying to speak to our new American friend, Casey
Speaker 3: over it. I love Americans, Casey, I do apologize.
Speaker 1: No, British people love Americans.
Speaker 3: Your opinion, Casey, how did it go?
Speaker 5: This is so weird.
Speaker 3: I know this calls a bit random, but when you
Speaker 3: were doing this a huge service if you could just
Speaker 3: speak to us for a tiny bit.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know what exactly you guys are looking for,
Speaker 5: but I mean it was fine, Okay.
Speaker 3: Well, at any point during the day was he acting
Speaker 3: a bit dodgy?
Speaker 5: Well, there was a point towards the beginning of the
Speaker 5: day that I was a little taken aback because I
Speaker 5: didn't know he had a British accent.
Speaker 3: I must have been a pleasant surprise to you then.
Speaker 5: Well, to be honest, I wasn't really sure he was
Speaker 5: telling the truth.
Speaker 6: But it's all starting to make sense now, I guess
Speaker 6: because I'm talking to you all.
Speaker 3: No, it's true, You're never allowed to lie on British radio,
Speaker 3: that is one of the rules.
Speaker 1: But on American radio they lie all the time.
Speaker 2: Just lie, lie, Lie, Lie lie, and maybe sometimes they
Speaker 2: should come clean.
Speaker 3: Okay, look, Casey, I understand sometimes first dates can be
Speaker 3: a bit tricky.
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You're trying to impress someone that you're meeting for the
Speaker 3: first time. So perhaps this was a situation going on
Speaker 3: with young Mitchell. How is he better in British? The
Speaker 3: language just flows out to me. Here's the situation. The
Speaker 3: way that this segment works is we have the person
Speaker 3: that you went on a date with sitting on the
Speaker 3: other line, listening in on the conversation. Yeah, and at
Speaker 3: the start of this call, we were not fully honest
Speaker 3: with you, so I do apologize for that. But he
Speaker 3: is there waiting to speak his piece. Mitchell, are you there?
Speaker 5: Hello?
Speaker 3: Oh? There he is, Night in Shining Ala, Mitch.
Speaker 5: Is that you is? It's me again? And this is
Speaker 5: super strange. I mean, I'm not sure why you had
Speaker 5: to call England to.
Speaker 1: Well for second day.
Speaker 3: He's a friend of our shows.
Speaker 5: I'm very familiar with them, and my time there I
Speaker 5: spent listening to the melot and grew quite fond of them.
Speaker 5: I mean, okay, I guess that makes sense. You a
Speaker 5: lot of trouble for me, so that's kind of cool. Yeah,
Speaker 5: well you were. I think of you as a quite
Speaker 5: proper fit bird, so I wanted to.
Speaker 2: Do whatever trou But remember, Mitch, this may be very
Speaker 2: hard to keep up, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Mitchell never shies away from a challenge.
Speaker 5: So do you no, I do not.
Speaker 1: Well, bloody hell.
Speaker 3: I believe that what my drunken co host is referring
Speaker 3: to over there is it's quite difficult to go out
Speaker 3: in the modern world because of the prices of everything.
Speaker 3: Inflation has made paying for things just absolutely preposterous. And
Speaker 3: we're going to take care of all the finances and
Speaker 3: offer to pay for your next meetup with Mitchell, maybe
Speaker 3: some fish and chips and some mushy peas. Now you're
Speaker 3: making me hunger.
Speaker 5: I'd love to cut your film with you as well.
Speaker 5: That's something I know we both share in common.
Speaker 3: Trip to the cinema.
Speaker 5: Why did you just sound like an American there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have American roots issue.
Speaker 5: What's the telly that we're going over?
Speaker 3: And telephones?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 3: Unfortunately I am staring out the window, and I do
Speaker 3: see Big Ben off in the distance, and we are
Speaker 3: running out of time. The segment is nearly at a
Speaker 3: close case. We need an answer from you, definitively yes
Speaker 3: or no. Would you like to go out with Mitch
Speaker 3: once more?
Speaker 6: But I don't know why everybody's laughing, and I feel
Speaker 6: like I could be.
Speaker 5: Missing the joke here. Yeah, I'd like to try it again.
Speaker 5: It's going to be a quite proper fine night and
Speaker 5: we're going to have an incredible evening together again. No
Speaker 5: guy has ever got in such trouble to try to
Speaker 5: get me to go out on a second date with this,
Speaker 5: so I'm impressed. Anything for a special lady like yourself.
Speaker 3: All right? Which one you piped down for just a bit?
Speaker 3: It's another successful second date. Snogolf's here on BBC Radio
Speaker 3: for stay tuned as we recap all of the Beatles'
Speaker 3: greatest hits. They're going out of soil here Inndy. It's
Speaker 3: brooking Jeffrey. Oh no, it's a Jonathan Clark.
Speaker 2: This is not good brooking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 3: There's proof that we could do a successful radio show
Speaker 3: in England if we wanted to. BBC you have our number.
Speaker 3: But now it's time for us to get an update
Speaker 3: on Mitch and Casey's situation. And unfortunately Casey couldn't be
Speaker 3: with us on the call today. It's just going to
Speaker 3: be Mitch, Mitch, what's going on?
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, how's it going?
Speaker 3: What's going on there in Casey?
Speaker 6: So we are unfortunately not together anymore.
Speaker 1: What I I have to know? Did you ever come clean?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 6: I was able to keep it up for a pretty
Speaker 6: good amount of time, I'll be honest, really, but unfortunately
Speaker 6: I just was not able to keep it up.
Speaker 5: Honestly.
Speaker 6: The election really screwed everything up.
Speaker 3: The election.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because as soon as the election here kind of finished,
Speaker 6: she starts asking me all these questions about British politics.
Speaker 2: Oh no, oh, no, you know nothing.
Speaker 3: What did you say?
Speaker 6: I told her it's really all about what the queen,
Speaker 6: What Queen Elizabeth wants to do?
Speaker 3: A Queen Elizabeth runs the show?
Speaker 6: Yeah, and unfortunately she is dead.
Speaker 1: Yeah you didn't know.
Speaker 3: That for a while.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you just finally tell her? I'm sorry, I've
Speaker 1: been lying to you.
Speaker 6: At a certain point, we did finally get to it.
Speaker 6: I got to break from my fake accent and kind
Speaker 6: of mention, here's actually what's going on, and I tried
Speaker 6: to wrap it up. Could you even imagine a man
Speaker 6: trying so hard to keep you happy?
Speaker 3: And she wasn't impressed by that? Yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 6: So it's just me, guys. So if you know anyone
Speaker 6: that's attracted to British men, you let them know.
Speaker 3: No, no, yeah, she got to be an Australian guy.
Speaker 3: Next time they'll be able to hold on longer. I'm
Speaker 3: sorry you aren't together, but keep us update. If you
Speaker 3: need more help with your dating life, you can always
Speaker 3: reach out.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, thanks guys.
Speaker 1: Only American you can reach out
Speaker 5: In the morning.
