Speaker 1: Second date update.
Speaker 2: When you're growing up, you hear people say phrases like
Speaker 2: Rome wasn't built.
Speaker 1: In a day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, A for effort, it's the thought that counts.
Speaker 1: Just like I'm Jeff Well, I never realized.
Speaker 2: It's just grown up's way of politely telling you you failed,
Speaker 2: but you tried. And today I would like to give
Speaker 2: an A for effort to our listener Ricky, because even
Speaker 2: though he is not getting a call back, he did
Speaker 2: put a crazy amount of effort into his post date
Speaker 2: show of appreciation.
Speaker 1: And Ricky, you know what, at least you tried.
Speaker 2: You keep trying by contacting us, so you're not giving
Speaker 2: up and I do respect that.
Speaker 1: So Ricky, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me. Guys.
Speaker 4: Okay, key, I mean what an intro? How are you feeling?
Speaker 4: You're feeling really confident?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 3: Tucked you up like, well, I was confident and everything
Speaker 3: seemed great. I'm wavering.
Speaker 2: I'll say that, okay, Okay, it's sending your email that
Speaker 2: this girl that you went out with is Leanne. And
Speaker 2: before we get to the extra effort that you put
Speaker 2: in after the day, because only I know what that is.
Speaker 2: Right now, obviously you must have had a pretty good
Speaker 2: time with her, because I'm guessing you don't do this
Speaker 2: for everybody.
Speaker 3: No, I certainly don't.
Speaker 4: Okay, did you meet Leanne on a dating website?
Speaker 3: Yes? We did, meeting on a dating app. That's just
Speaker 3: the way to these days scene.
Speaker 4: Okay, what'd you like about her? What stood out?
Speaker 3: Well? One of the things that I thought we really
Speaker 3: connected on is that we're both cat people, so you know,
Speaker 3: we have really great conversation. And it was just good
Speaker 3: vibes the whole time, lots of laughs. It was very
Speaker 3: what I thought was natural.
Speaker 1: Where were you bonding? What date did you choose to do?
Speaker 3: So? We did a cooking class? It was an Italian scene.
Speaker 4: That's cute. Was that your idea?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah it was. And she was very hyped about it too,
Speaker 3: So I thought we were in great shape just to
Speaker 3: get started totally.
Speaker 4: Learning something new together, Like you'd like that, write Alexis,
Speaker 4: can we make mac and cheese?
Speaker 5: I met?
Speaker 4: You need that, don't you, Alexis, Yeah, that's actually what
Speaker 4: I need.
Speaker 1: Cool idea.
Speaker 2: But isn't that like more of an established couple's thing
Speaker 2: like you thought?
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny you say, because it did seem
Speaker 3: like a lot of the people that were in the
Speaker 3: class were a little bit older, you know, and I
Speaker 3: definitely saw some rings in there, so I would guess
Speaker 3: they were married.
Speaker 5: Maybe.
Speaker 4: Why would that be a big deal. I mean, you're
Speaker 4: in a room with married people. We're not scary, you know.
Speaker 4: I don't know how that would affect your date.
Speaker 3: Other than I would say in the beginning, you know,
Speaker 3: they kind of did like a meet and greet with everyone.
Speaker 3: We had to say we were on the first date.
Speaker 3: And I'm pretty sure we would do only one thumb.
Speaker 4: Because then and married old people are like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: you guys are so.
Speaker 1: They want to help the guys like run run.
Speaker 4: Came back.
Speaker 2: It's just what guys say to other guys. But it
Speaker 2: sounds like you had a good time with her.
Speaker 3: We really did. We had lots of fun. It was
Speaker 3: really it was just we were laughing like the whole time.
Speaker 4: That's okay. So and now are we talking about what
Speaker 4: he did after? Is that where we're at? Like, it
Speaker 4: sounds like the date was fantastic.
Speaker 1: What he made Is that important?
Speaker 4: No? Like a bullet AI it does it? Does it matter?
Speaker 2: I think it's a fair question. What did you end
Speaker 2: up making with leanne.
Speaker 3: We ended up making a cheery suit.
Speaker 4: Coffee can like the lady fingers.
Speaker 2: Okay, now I'm realizing it really wasn't that important to
Speaker 2: the date.
Speaker 1: Probably Okay, some foodies out there that are happy.
Speaker 2: I asked, that's the one question you're allowed for the second.
Speaker 2: All right, after you made your tiarramasseur together, how did
Speaker 2: the night or the date end?
Speaker 3: It was classic first date end. We gave a hug,
Speaker 3: said goodbye and excited to see you soon.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, that sounds also positive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just kidding. Well, okay, good reviews on the
Speaker 1: date part.
Speaker 2: Now let's get to the extra effort that you put
Speaker 2: in afterwards.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, like I said earlier, we had both kind of
Speaker 3: connected on being cat people.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So the next day I sent her flowers and I
Speaker 3: sent her a note. No, we're not sending live animals.
Speaker 1: What does the cat have to do with it?
Speaker 3: So I wrote the note, But I wrote the note
Speaker 3: as if I was the cat, right, the note coming
Speaker 3: from the cat, just.
Speaker 4: Like your cat or so.
Speaker 3: I got a copy right here, I'll read it for you.
Speaker 1: Copy Okay, I don't.
Speaker 2: Think he means like you printed a what is it?
Speaker 3: Laminated? It starts off by saying meow, because that's.
Speaker 1: How cat's thank you for a romantic start.
Speaker 3: Like it's your feline friend, mister Djanga, and that's her
Speaker 3: cat's name, yes, mister Djanga. And so I said, I know,
Speaker 3: I know, my paws are surprisingly good at typing, but
Speaker 3: I had to send you a note because I miss
Speaker 3: you so much.
Speaker 1: This is.
Speaker 4: And why would her cat miss her?
Speaker 3: I basically said, so when you're at work, the house
Speaker 3: is in the same without you, your laugh and those
Speaker 3: delightful treats. You sneak me when you think no one's looking.
Speaker 3: So can you come home soon so I can hear
Speaker 3: about your date with Ricky's.
Speaker 4: That was awesome? So what did she say when she
Speaker 4: got it?
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't get much from her, So what was
Speaker 3: Thanks for the note and the flowers? Really nothing else?
Speaker 1: Like wow, you I mean.
Speaker 4: She's not good with words, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: Like some people don't text a lot or have a
Speaker 4: hard time.
Speaker 3: Felt like a middle school butt out hug, you know,
Speaker 3: like we were in trouble and we're supposed to be dancing,
Speaker 3: but you know it was it just so very reluctant.
Speaker 2: Well okay, I mean kind of just like middle school.
Speaker 2: You're coming to us to go to her to ask
Speaker 2: her how she feels, and then we'll come.
Speaker 1: Back and report to you.
Speaker 2: Do that. That's right, We're gonna do the telephone thing
Speaker 2: in real life.
Speaker 1: A piece of paper to hind a jet circle.
Speaker 4: Yes or no.
Speaker 1: I'll get to that later.
Speaker 2: First, we got to come back and do your second
Speaker 2: date update when we call Leanne right after.
Speaker 1: This second date update, Guys, I.
Speaker 2: Hate that my mind went here, but I just thought
Speaker 2: of the worst case scenario for when we make this call.
Speaker 2: We dial the phone rings, it gets picked up, and
Speaker 2: in the background you hear Leanne's muffled voice screaming for help.
Speaker 4: Why what's wrong?
Speaker 5: How could she know?
Speaker 2: Then her cat, mister Jenga, comes on the line and says, hello,
Speaker 2: Leanne can't come to the phone right now, Jeff, She's
Speaker 2: kind of tied up.
Speaker 4: It's the cat.
Speaker 2: Leave a message, unless this is Ricky, in which case,
Speaker 2: if you're looking for a date, I left something in
Speaker 2: my lit.
Speaker 4: Box just for you, Jeff, why would.
Speaker 1: I said?
Speaker 2: It's the worst case scenario, not the most likely scenario.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 4: Mister Jenga is not gonna turn against lovely Leanne. Okay.
Speaker 4: They're like BFFs. It's anything mister Django would be telling
Speaker 4: Leanne you're too good.
Speaker 2: For this guy, unless Leanne likes the guy so much
Speaker 2: that mister Jenga's left with no choice but to hold
Speaker 2: her hostage.
Speaker 4: Mister Jinga's jump these things.
Speaker 2: Happy in the dating the world every single day, and
Speaker 2: if you're just joining us and you don't know what
Speaker 2: I'm talking about.
Speaker 4: It would be likely.
Speaker 2: Our listener, Ricky had a clever idea after their meet
Speaker 2: up to send Leanne flowers and a note written from
Speaker 2: her cat in a playful way, basically.
Speaker 1: Saying, I miss you. Come home and tickle my belly
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 4: Tell me about how your cute date was.
Speaker 2: Right, So, anyway, she's not responding as well as Ricky
Speaker 2: thought she would do.
Speaker 5: That.
Speaker 2: We're trying to help him figure out if something else happened,
Speaker 2: if there's a reason for why, right.
Speaker 4: Right, Can you think of anything, Ricky that went weird
Speaker 4: on your date? Because it all sounded so good.
Speaker 3: I cannot think of anything else. I really did think
Speaker 3: it was a great date.
Speaker 4: I don't blame you for that. I mean his recap
Speaker 4: was lovely, sounded like a great night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, let's just call Leanne and see if she
Speaker 2: has an answer, or if mister Jenga picks up the
Speaker 2: phone and is holding her hostage.
Speaker 1: It could happen.
Speaker 4: I hope could talk.
Speaker 6: It would be crazy.
Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like mister Jinga would have the
Speaker 4: accent you used. I thought that was spot on, Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: Let's figure it out. I'm dialing her number right now
Speaker 1: here we go.
Speaker 5: Hello, Hey, is this Leanne?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 4: She doesn't sound like she sounds like she's in distress,
Speaker 4: like she didn't want to answer that.
Speaker 5: The cat Leanne.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Sorry, go on.
Speaker 1: You're on a radio show right now. We're called Brook
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 4: A Leah, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 6: H I'm sorry, what what is this about?
Speaker 4: That cat's got her tongue? Jeffrey.
Speaker 2: We're doing this segment here called a second Date Update,
Speaker 2: because we're trying to help one of our listeners get
Speaker 2: in contact with you after you went out with him once.
Speaker 1: It's a guy named Ricky.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: Okay, wow in a good way like wow yeah or wow.
Speaker 1: Or like uh like we did talk to Ricky.
Speaker 6: About it and he talked to you, Oh my god,
Speaker 6: oh yeah.
Speaker 4: Is that a cute. It sounds like you guys had
Speaker 4: a great date night.
Speaker 2: That's how we know what your number is, so that
Speaker 2: we could reach out, because he said that you guys
Speaker 2: went to a cooking class together. You guys made tira
Speaker 2: Missou bonded over the fact that you both have cats,
Speaker 2: and he said after the date, he sent you some
Speaker 2: flowers with a note and pretended like he was your cat,
Speaker 2: mister Jenga, he was.
Speaker 4: Trying to be cute and flirty and funny.
Speaker 2: Uh, okay, So he felt like the date went really
Speaker 2: well and he was actually expecting to see you again.
Speaker 2: That's why he's confused that there hasn't been any plans made.
Speaker 6: We did have a nice date. I've never had anybody
Speaker 6: bring me to a cooking cliff. That's great.
Speaker 4: You're saying, at the end of your tier, Missou making
Speaker 4: you were totally planning on seeing him again. Can we
Speaker 4: make that assumption.
Speaker 3: He had pretty much?
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, yeah, it was.
Speaker 6: It was a nice date.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 2: Well, if that's the case, then why are because he
Speaker 2: said that you've been kind of cold?
Speaker 4: Yeah, is he reading it wrong? No?
Speaker 6: Not necessarily, it was nice. It was just what happened
Speaker 6: after that that really didn't sit well with me and
Speaker 6: maybe very scared and upset.
Speaker 1: What do you mean the flowers with the note?
Speaker 6: Yeah, the note was really cute. It was like for
Speaker 6: my cat.
Speaker 4: But what was scary about that?
Speaker 1: You don't actually think your cat like wrote it?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: You realize that it's a joke.
Speaker 6: He matched the handwriting perfectly.
Speaker 3: That I mean.
Speaker 6: We talked about where I worked, but I never gave
Speaker 6: him any of the actual location and so for my job.
Speaker 6: So when I came out and found that, my heart
Speaker 6: sank and I did.
Speaker 2: Okay, you were freaked out that he figured out exactly
Speaker 2: where your whatever office or workplace was.
Speaker 4: I didn't know he got him delivered there. I was
Speaker 4: getting get to work as a bold move. I just
Speaker 4: you know, I had just assumed he'd been to your
Speaker 4: house or picked you up and got him delivered to
Speaker 4: your house. You're saying that he didn't know where you
Speaker 4: lived or where you worked.
Speaker 6: No, No, I did not tell him where he worked,
Speaker 6: And it's just too quick to suit. I didn't tell
Speaker 6: you that.
Speaker 4: It was just it was a boundary that was crossed
Speaker 4: for you, is what you're saying.
Speaker 6: Exceedingly crossed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I don't think that he realizes that at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't mean to creep you out in any way.
Speaker 2: I think he was just trying to do something nice
Speaker 2: to show the extra effort he was going to put in.
Speaker 2: But Ricky is on the other line of this call, which.
Speaker 4: Does does it sound?
Speaker 1: I know that doesn't sound good, but that is how
Speaker 1: these calls work.
Speaker 6: What are you joking right now?
Speaker 1: Which I'm not.
Speaker 4: I wish we were. Didn't know that this was a
Speaker 4: sit situation, Ricky. I'm here, Ricky bro and b I here,
Speaker 4: he means on the phone, not physically like outside your house.
Speaker 3: I'm not watching her.
Speaker 6: Guys, what is going on?
Speaker 2: Well, why don't we let Ricky step in here and
Speaker 2: explain himself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you, guys, I appreciate you going to bat for me,
Speaker 3: and you pretty much hit the nail on the head.
Speaker 3: I just thought kind of going a little above and
Speaker 3: beyond to send you a cute little note because I
Speaker 3: thought we hit it off on a few things. You know,
Speaker 3: you did tell me where you worked and did. I
Speaker 3: just went on the Google did and it's you.
Speaker 4: Know, and maybe, I mean maybe he did your work,
Speaker 4: because delivering it to your house would have actually been Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's actually yeah, address is honestly probably easier to find
Speaker 4: your home.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so but in your mind, Leanne, is that
Speaker 2: a boundary that's too far across to like google the
Speaker 2: address of your office building or whatever.
Speaker 6: I think it really was. I feel like he could
Speaker 6: have just called me and let that happen naturally.
Speaker 5: I do think.
Speaker 2: I do think part of it was like he was
Speaker 2: trying to surprise you with flowers exactly.
Speaker 3: It's not very romantic to send stuff after I tell
Speaker 3: you I'm sending it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you also told him the name of your cat, right,
Speaker 4: he didn't like sell.
Speaker 3: I am?
Speaker 4: I am?
Speaker 6: Okay telling him the name of my cat?
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, mister, we know it.
Speaker 2: And a lot of it is timing, probably just because
Speaker 2: you've only been on one date. If he had waited
Speaker 2: till the fourth or the fifth or whatever date, you
Speaker 2: would have felt like this was totally normal and sweet.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it just didn't feel like a love story for me.
Speaker 6: But I don't think he's a bad guy.
Speaker 3: Just too much.
Speaker 4: Okay, maybe maybe you just need to hear since here apology. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, like sometimes that can fix it, right, Ricky.
Speaker 2: Ricky, can you get mister Janga to write an apology
Speaker 2: letter work.
Speaker 3: He's already writing the note that sweet at work, neat handwriting.
Speaker 2: Okay, but Ricky, I mean, you get what she's saying, right, Bowie.
Speaker 3: And I honestly didn't mean to creep you out in
Speaker 3: any way. It was just something that I thought would
Speaker 3: put a smile on your face. So I'm sorry if
Speaker 3: I threw you off to that.
Speaker 6: Okay, take you.
Speaker 2: Normally at this point, we would offer to send you
Speaker 2: guys out on another date and we would pay for that.
Speaker 2: I mean, I could still put that offer out there
Speaker 2: for you, Leanna, if you want to consider another date
Speaker 2: with him, and we would pay for it.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna hang out with mister Janet a night.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, okay.
Speaker 4: He only needs one male companion in her life, the.
Speaker 5: One with or Y.
Speaker 2: Is you want to ask mister Jega permission if it's
Speaker 2: okay for you to go hang out with Ricky.
Speaker 4: See what he says.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's there's a little bit of hope here.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't want to press her too much.
Speaker 3: She's already obviously a little uncomfortable, so I don't want
Speaker 3: to make more uncomfortable. But I was hoping we could
Speaker 3: at least get our cats together for a romantic dinner too.
Speaker 4: But fancy fees.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so cute. I was kind of on his side
Speaker 1: till I heard about the cat dinner. Now it's kind
Speaker 1: of creepy.
Speaker 4: No, maybe a cat hatering broking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: I really hope that she takes some time to just
Speaker 2: like step away and reflect more about this, because we
Speaker 2: have to remember that this is all really normal to us,
Speaker 2: but it is weird for someone to get a random
Speaker 2: call from a radio station saying, Hey, you don't know us,
Speaker 2: but we already know a whole lot about you and
Speaker 2: the date that you just went on.
Speaker 1: And then five minutes later we're putting her on the spot, like,
Speaker 1: so you want to go out and see him again?
Speaker 1: We need to answer. You can tell she was like
Speaker 1: back into a corner and she's like, I literally don't know.
Speaker 4: Let me just process a scared little kid cat she was.
Speaker 2: It sounds to me like maybe she just needed to
Speaker 2: just step away, process what we were saying a little more,
Speaker 2: and hopefully by the end of that she can see
Speaker 2: it was all just meant to be a swee gesture
Speaker 2: from a guy who really really had a good time
Speaker 2: right now, she might be a little bit more time alright,
Speaker 2: but she even said herself that she had a good
Speaker 2: time and he felt like he was a great guy.
Speaker 1: I hope she decides to go out.
Speaker 5: With him again.
Speaker 4: Yeah sure, I mean, cat guys, how could they ever
Speaker 4: be crazy?
Speaker 1: Okay, turn it on the guy. Well, if you ever
Speaker 1: want to help with your love life, email the show.
Speaker 2: We'll call that person who's not calling you back and
Speaker 2: go check out all of our second dates wherever you
Speaker 2: get your podcast.
Speaker 1: Yeah at Broke and Jeffrey Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
