Speaker 1: Second date of date, Alexis, how many times has Brooke
Speaker 1: offered to set you up on a date with a
Speaker 1: guy she knows and you've said.
Speaker 2: No? Thanks?
Speaker 3: Good?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What do you not trust Brooke to have any cool,
Speaker 1: young honky male friends for you?
Speaker 3: I think we have different definitions a cool young honkey
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah?
Speaker 1: Or are you worried that you're going to show up
Speaker 1: and it's going to be a playdate with her son?
Speaker 5: That might be better than who you guys are almost
Speaker 5: the same age couple.
Speaker 1: One day, well, one of our listeners, Lily, was fighting
Speaker 1: the same way Alexis was. Her friend wanted to set
Speaker 1: her up on a date, and Lily kept on saying no, Lily,
Speaker 1: welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: How you doing, Hey, I'm good. It's good to be here.
Speaker 5: I mean, I take it your friend wasn't good help
Speaker 5: because you're calling us instead.
Speaker 3: Actually that's the thing. My friend ended up being great help.
Speaker 2: Oh oh that's not usual.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, so she's been trying to set me up
Speaker 3: for a long time. I've been single for probably about
Speaker 3: a year now.
Speaker 5: Is she one that like sets you up with anyone
Speaker 5: she knows? Or is it the same person she's been
Speaker 5: trying to hook you up with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the same person.
Speaker 1: Well that's weird too, because now it's like this guy
Speaker 1: can't get a date either, So that's.
Speaker 2: A that's smart.
Speaker 6: Well, hey, you're both red flags.
Speaker 4: Though very vibrant red ma green.
Speaker 2: So you eventually met up with him?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well I kept saying no, you know, because my
Speaker 3: whole idea was like, look, I can find a guy
Speaker 3: on my own, you know, like I don't want to
Speaker 3: ruin our friendship if things get weird, like the guy
Speaker 3: doesn't work.
Speaker 4: Did you blame her for it and that's why you No.
Speaker 3: I think she just might feel bad. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just didn't want to like make things weird between us.
Speaker 6: Okay, there's a different level of pressure when it's do
Speaker 6: you know this guy's name?
Speaker 3: Yeah? His name was Matt Matt, Matt Matt.
Speaker 4: And did you get to like look at his socials?
Speaker 5: Like, did she give you any proof of what the
Speaker 5: goods were beforehand?
Speaker 3: No? She was just like take it from me, Trust me.
Speaker 3: This guy is a winner. Like, I think you would
Speaker 3: really hit it off.
Speaker 4: She must be persistent for you to finally cave.
Speaker 3: She was, because I didn't cave. She tricked me.
Speaker 4: Oh what do you mean.
Speaker 3: Yes, we had a big work event the other week
Speaker 3: to like celebrate the big work win. So we all
Speaker 3: went out to the club and after the club, somebody
Speaker 3: was like, Hey, let's bring the party back to my place.
Speaker 3: So we all ended up at a house party and
Speaker 3: he was there.
Speaker 4: And that was by design.
Speaker 2: Yes, definitely. Okay, So what did you think when you
Speaker 2: saw Matt?
Speaker 3: So he's easy on the eyes, he's great, and we
Speaker 3: ended up just chatting casual style.
Speaker 7: Good.
Speaker 1: You didn't do the formal chat with him, the casual.
Speaker 2: Chat, you didn't take a large bow. Yeah that's nice.
Speaker 5: But did he know that your friend had been trying
Speaker 5: to hook you too up? Because sometimes that's really awkward,
Speaker 5: but it's also could be something you bond over.
Speaker 3: He didn't say, oh.
Speaker 4: He didn't say, you don't know if he knew.
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know. But at one point in our
Speaker 3: conversation he just drops that he doesn't know how to drive,
Speaker 3: and I.
Speaker 7: Was like, wait, what is like?
Speaker 1: Is it that he never tried to learn, or that
Speaker 1: he tried so many times and failed that he gave.
Speaker 4: Up less could get a license? I mean, can you
Speaker 4: actually failed that many times?
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 3: No, he just never bothered to learn. It just wasn't
Speaker 3: a thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you live in a big city, you literally
Speaker 6: don't need you know, there's buses.
Speaker 3: Have some preds that just got their license real Yeah, well.
Speaker 1: That's because you're teen, or maybe he's from a wealthy
Speaker 1: family where he has a chauffeur and he doesn't need
Speaker 1: to learn.
Speaker 2: Okay, that was where my thought mine first time.
Speaker 4: But it doesn't matter. I mean, was that okay with you?
Speaker 3: Well, so of course it's getting late and I'm in
Speaker 3: a very good food so I'm like, hold up, I'm
Speaker 3: going to teach you how to drive right now. Come
Speaker 3: with me?
Speaker 4: What late night?
Speaker 5: After the club girl, after the club, after the house parts.
Speaker 3: Basically, we went to a nearby mall parking lot and
Speaker 3: I taught him how to drive.
Speaker 5: Fun because I just remember learning to drive as my
Speaker 5: dad in a lot of screaming and yelling at each other.
Speaker 3: I said, it's pretty stressful.
Speaker 2: And how many casualties were there that night?
Speaker 3: Thankfully none?
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 3: I thought it was a fun time. We just drove
Speaker 3: in circles and laughed a lot, and at the end
Speaker 3: he thanked me for teaching him, and there was a
Speaker 3: little kiss.
Speaker 1: Oh, I think my driving instructor the same way.
Speaker 2: A good call.
Speaker 6: They teach you don't kiss and drive.
Speaker 4: The others did in the back seat.
Speaker 3: Next so I drove him back to his place, kissed
Speaker 3: me good night, and that was it.
Speaker 4: Oh my god. You have heard from.
Speaker 3: Him technically a little. I mean the next day we
Speaker 3: texted back and forth a little bit and it was
Speaker 3: just like a yeah, thanks, that was fun.
Speaker 7: Ha ha ha.
Speaker 4: They laughed a lot.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was fun haha. By okay, he was
Speaker 2: more lighthearted than that.
Speaker 4: Have you checked with your friend who was setting you
Speaker 4: guys up? I'm sure she totally knows.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course I checked with her because I was like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, you were right. He's amazing and we
Speaker 3: had a great time kissed out. But no, she hasn't
Speaker 3: heard from him either. She is just as frustrated about
Speaker 3: this as I am, because for once, her matchmaking skills
Speaker 3: seem to have worked. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Right, maybe because you taught him to drive. He's like,
Speaker 6: I'm finally gonna be able to go on a road Yeah,
Speaker 6: in another country, right.
Speaker 1: Now, get dozens of dates left and right. Well, we're
Speaker 1: gonna find out. We're gonna call him in just a
Speaker 1: minute here, and Brooke is going to back seat drive
Speaker 1: the conversation and tell me how bad of a job
Speaker 1: I'm doing.
Speaker 4: Somebody needs to be in control.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do your second date update right after this.
Speaker 1: How many rom coms have that scene where one character
Speaker 1: teaches the other how to drive a stick shift through
Speaker 1: a corn field and then they veer off almost hit
Speaker 1: a cow and they laugh about it and make out
Speaker 1: for hours in the back seat.
Speaker 6: Dang, I haven't seen this.
Speaker 4: I don't see that either.
Speaker 6: Yeah, who's in that one country?
Speaker 2: I am gossling.
Speaker 1: White girl here.
Speaker 7: Girl.
Speaker 1: Well, that scene played out in real life the other
Speaker 1: day for our listener, Lily.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's kind I mean, no pals.
Speaker 1: It was, and it was just a regular automatic car
Speaker 1: with a millennial who hadn't learned for the first thirty
Speaker 1: years of his life out of job, but she taught
Speaker 1: him how and it turned out to be a great
Speaker 1: night with laughter and kissing. But now the romance is
Speaker 1: stuck in neutral car. We're gonna call this guy and
Speaker 1: try and kick it back into drive sport mode.
Speaker 3: If yeah, you ready to do this, Lily, I'm so ready. Yes.
Speaker 5: Think we're like four cylinder show it's fine, insurance doesn't cover.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm excited for you.
Speaker 5: It's weird that your friend doesn't know either. That was
Speaker 5: so adamant that you two go out. I think that
Speaker 5: that's the strangest part is he's not just calling not
Speaker 5: you back, but not talking to her either.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, he's just like disappear or something. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Crazy.
Speaker 2: Well, let's get some answers. I'm gonna call him right now.
Speaker 2: We'll see what he has to say. Here we go.
Speaker 7: Hello, Hey, is this Matt Speakin? Who's this?
Speaker 1: My name is jeff You may have heard this voice
Speaker 1: before on a radio show called Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the morning.
Speaker 5: He doesn't drive.
Speaker 4: You may not listen, that's true.
Speaker 2: Do you have podcasts?
Speaker 7: Sorry, I'm not familiar with it.
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, well, you're on a segment right now
Speaker 1: called a Second Date Update, and we're trying to help
Speaker 1: one of our listeners get back in touch with you
Speaker 1: after you two hung out the other night.
Speaker 2: Her name's Lily.
Speaker 7: Oh my god? Oh whoa really?
Speaker 4: Is that a good huh?
Speaker 7: Or about?
Speaker 4: Oh? We can't tell?
Speaker 7: Uh? You know, I I don't really want to talk
Speaker 7: about this. Oh, If that's okay?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I understand your hesitation, but this is how
Speaker 1: the segment works. Like Lily knows that she may be
Speaker 1: hearing something that might be a little awkward, a little uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: but she's just super confused after having a really nice
Speaker 1: time with you the other night.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just it's just a very difficult situation really
Speaker 7: on your side?
Speaker 5: Is it something personal for you then? Because it sounds
Speaker 5: pretty easy on.
Speaker 4: Her side, she liked you, she'd like to go out again.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's very much on my side.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right. Do you plan to reach out to
Speaker 2: Lily at any point?
Speaker 7: Maybe I'm just trying to figure out a way to
Speaker 7: do it.
Speaker 4: What do you mean, just with a call or text?
Speaker 1: Maybe we can help you out if you're going through
Speaker 1: something and you need to like work things through.
Speaker 6: Wait a minute, so, are you like involved with somebody,
Speaker 6: because you can just be honest with us about that, bro.
Speaker 7: No, No, I'm not involved with anybody. It's more complicated
Speaker 7: than that.
Speaker 4: You're married, you're involved.
Speaker 2: With many.
Speaker 7: No, not that either.
Speaker 4: Do you want us to just play the guessing game
Speaker 4: for Yeah?
Speaker 7: I don't think there's any way you guys would guess
Speaker 7: this one.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Really if you could give us just a little bit
Speaker 1: of information, because Lily could really use a little closure
Speaker 1: on this. She really fell for you the night that
Speaker 1: she hung out, and she's been completely out of whack
Speaker 1: for the last week trying to figure out what's going on.
Speaker 7: Okay, I liked her too, So we have a mutual
Speaker 7: friend who's been like trying to set us up for
Speaker 7: like two or three months. Now.
Speaker 4: Oh you did know about that, okay?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, I was in on it. And we
Speaker 7: met at a party and we had this amazing experience
Speaker 7: and driving around the parking lot of some mall and
Speaker 7: she was really cool. So you know, I lived near
Speaker 7: our friends, so I just like walked over her house
Speaker 7: the next morning excited to tell her the news, and
Speaker 7: I'm like, hey, Lily and I we finally went out
Speaker 7: on that date.
Speaker 4: So you talked to her friend?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, and she was I don't know how to scrape.
Speaker 7: She just like had this look of shock on her face.
Speaker 4: I thought she was the one that set it all up.
Speaker 4: So you guys would meet at.
Speaker 7: The party, Well that's what I thought. So then she
Speaker 7: just like blurked out that she was just upset because
Speaker 7: she and like her trying to like set me up
Speaker 7: with Lily has decided that she's now like fallen for me.
Speaker 7: What hold on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh, Lily's friend now admits that she has feelings
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I thought she was joking, so, you know,
Speaker 7: did you laugh? I sure did, wow, But she was like,
Speaker 7: it's not a joke. Oh no, she wants to be
Speaker 7: with me, and I like her as friend. We've known
Speaker 7: each other for a long time, but I never thought
Speaker 7: of her that way, especially with her trying to get
Speaker 7: me to date somebody else.
Speaker 1: So it sounds like there might be there might actually
Speaker 1: be feelings there for Lily's friend too, from the way
Speaker 1: you're talking about it.
Speaker 7: I don't know. I had never thought about it.
Speaker 6: I understand because they do say a lot of times
Speaker 6: when your friends first, things tend to be better. So, yeah,
Speaker 6: it's you.
Speaker 2: Why is she saying it's.
Speaker 5: Like telling somebody to order fries when it's you that
Speaker 5: really wants the fries.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe she was hoping that Lily would reject him so
Speaker 1: that she would be like, see, I guess there's nobody
Speaker 1: left for you.
Speaker 5: But that's a weird way to go about it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's gonna be a lot of information.
Speaker 7: Matt.
Speaker 1: It's not a horrible position for you to be in,
Speaker 1: but it's kind of a really bad situation for Lily.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys got to tell him now.
Speaker 1: I just got to tell you, Matt, this is super awkward.
Speaker 1: But Lily's been on the other line listening and heard
Speaker 1: the whole thing. What yeah, Hey, that's Lily.
Speaker 7: Hey Matt, Hey, Hey Lily. Oh, I'm really sorry. I
Speaker 7: still know you were on the like on this hall.
Speaker 7: This's not how I wanted you to find out.
Speaker 3: I am so overwhelmed. I just I don't know what
Speaker 3: this means. Like I thought my friend had my best
Speaker 3: dress at heart and had my back, and now I
Speaker 3: just feel like.
Speaker 5: I'll say, it doesn't sound like your friend did this
Speaker 5: maliciously or tried to hurt you in any way.
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe your friend lied to you on purpose.
Speaker 1: She definitely lied about saying that she didn't hear from
Speaker 1: that after the date.
Speaker 4: Well, what is she gonna say? I heard from him.
Speaker 4: I confess my love to him. That would be the truth.
Speaker 7: I thought.
Speaker 4: She doesn't know what to say either.
Speaker 6: Probably, Lily, she was trying to tell you how great
Speaker 6: of a guy she he is, and he's so great
Speaker 6: of a guy.
Speaker 2: She fell for him too.
Speaker 4: I mean, it makes sense.
Speaker 5: She's like trying to convince you over and over again,
Speaker 5: and then it finally dawns on her, like, wait a minute.
Speaker 3: For him, it's really making me rethink our entire friendship
Speaker 3: and like what else she might be keeping from me that, Oh, Mad.
Speaker 4: This is so messy for you to be in the middle.
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, well I don't want to and anyone's friendship
Speaker 7: like mine with our friend or you guys, So the
Speaker 7: three of us could get together, get in a room, talk.
Speaker 4: It out, every guy.
Speaker 1: I like how you think, Matt, this is a good
Speaker 1: problem solving.
Speaker 6: I know, let's all have some drinks again.
Speaker 2: But what's wrong? What's wrong with that?
Speaker 4: Brook? It's not what the women want.
Speaker 1: If you were twenty years younger and a few drinks deep,
Speaker 1: you would be all over this. You'd say, bring seven
Speaker 1: more girls in here and let's have a really good time.
Speaker 4: Could Matt, have you got out with the other girl already?
Speaker 4: The friend?
Speaker 7: No? Not at all?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay jokes aside.
Speaker 1: In all honesty, Matt sounds pretty sincere, like he just
Speaker 1: wants them to all be together so they could talk
Speaker 1: about what's really going on. The secrecy and the keeping
Speaker 1: things from each other.
Speaker 2: That's not working.
Speaker 3: So Matt, I just I don't know what the right
Speaker 3: course of action here is because I liked you, and
Speaker 3: I man.
Speaker 7: I don't know, really, I don't have an answer for you.
Speaker 7: I think I think you got to talk to our
Speaker 7: friend first.
Speaker 4: So you can't decide between them.
Speaker 7: Still, No, I don't think it's a matter of deciding.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, yeah, that'd be a pretty messy road
Speaker 1: for Matt to take.
Speaker 2: So I mean, maybe it's not a bad.
Speaker 1: Idea for all three of you guys to talk it
Speaker 1: out together and we could pay to have you meet
Speaker 1: up at a restaurant or something like that.
Speaker 3: Whoa, that's I gotta I gotta put the gotta put
Speaker 3: a big old yellow flag out stare on that one.
Speaker 2: Restaurants. Should we go somewhere else?
Speaker 3: No, I just I've got so much to work out.
Speaker 3: I had no idea this is going to go this direction.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm sorry this is happening. I know this
Speaker 2: is a lot. Keep us posted.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I hope more than anything your friendship, you know,
Speaker 5: gets through this.
Speaker 4: And then Matt, I mean, you're in a win win situation.
Speaker 6: So yeah, let us know who you pick.
Speaker 7: Matt. I don't know, but when when I do, I think, okay, okay,
Speaker 7: I mean if I if I end up with either
Speaker 7: of them, it's you know, there's gonna be the baggage
Speaker 7: of the last week.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be tough. Just like when you learn parallel
Speaker 6: parking from one of them. It's like the same thing.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have one of them behind you being like, no.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 2: Do the other thing, crank the wheel to the right.
Speaker 7: You know, a lot of adults don't know how to drive, guys.
Speaker 1: Jeff in the morning, man, I kind of wanted to
Speaker 1: ask Lily if she would like to do an awkward
Speaker 1: Tuesday phone call to her friend to figure.
Speaker 2: Out what was going on.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Well, it seemed like Lily was kind of
Speaker 1: reeling in the moment, so maybe we'll ask her off
Speaker 1: the air.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 5: Like we can just oh my god, right, she is
Speaker 5: going to need help with that convo though.
Speaker 6: Ye.
Speaker 4: Freend obviously is it coming to her kids? She knows
Speaker 4: it's so awkward.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I've heard that stuff happen sometimes where you're
Speaker 1: use with a person and you try and set them
Speaker 1: up romantically and suddenly you catch feelings and end up
Speaker 1: dating them.
Speaker 4: Oh man, you've heard that before.
Speaker 6: I feel like it's the opposite for two girls are fighting, like,
Speaker 6: come on, you date them?
Speaker 3: No, no data.
Speaker 1: I really hope that we do get an update though
Speaker 1: from this situation. Invested in that to find out who
Speaker 1: he picks, or if he picks no one and goes
Speaker 1: in a completely different direction.
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe after this he doesn't have any choices anymore, or.
Speaker 1: Maybe we broke him from dating forever. So if you'd
Speaker 1: like to be broken from dating forever.
Speaker 2: Email the show. We can help make that happen.
Speaker 1: And you can always catch any of our second eight
Speaker 1: update podcast online wherever you find your podcast at Broken,
Speaker 1: Jeffrey
Speaker 4: Broke, and Jeffrey in the Morning
