Speaker 1: Second date of to day. Grand romantic gestures on a
Speaker 1: first date good or bad idea, I'm gonna go bad.
Speaker 1: I love romantic. I think maybe it does depend on
Speaker 1: the gesture. Like carving your initials into a tree. Sweet, no,
Speaker 1: terrible for the tree. Just stop to nature, tree just
Speaker 1: for the relationship, plant seeds and you're okay. Maybe carving
Speaker 1: initials of all your former victims into the tree, maybe
Speaker 1: that one's not sow why the tree is also a
Speaker 1: victim at that point you have to remember them somehow.
Speaker 1: But one of our listeners, Patrick, says he's worried that
Speaker 1: his grand romantic gesture may have accidentally backfired on We'll
Speaker 1: get to that in just a second, but first Patrick,
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Hey guys, how are you doing.
Speaker 1: It's always like kind of cringe you waiting to hear
Speaker 1: what you did. Why. I don't know. It's just like
Speaker 1: outside of maybe even flowers feels like pushing it on
Speaker 1: a fast day Brook. You're already hating on all romantic
Speaker 1: gestures in any form. We haven't even heard what he did.
Speaker 1: Something really really nice. A firm handshake and an eye contact. Hello, there,
Speaker 1: be careful with the eye contact. I don't want to
Speaker 1: be What did you do? Actually, who did you go
Speaker 1: out with? That's where we should start, right, Yeah, what's
Speaker 1: her name? So her name's Ashley. We met up online. Man,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you she's so beautiful. Like she had the
Speaker 1: most insane smile. Oh that's sweet, an insane smile, like
Speaker 1: a joker, kind of joker. Small, but then with the tattoos,
Speaker 1: it really did it for me. Are you being serious
Speaker 1: or totally kidding? Okay, I mean insane in that, Like
Speaker 1: you don't see this smile every day? Oh that's really nice.
Speaker 1: I'm a great smile. Can I do ask you on
Speaker 1: your dating profile? Did did she have any inkling that
Speaker 1: you were some sort of romantic person? Would you describe
Speaker 1: yourself that way? I can't people describe themselves that way.
Speaker 1: They can't. I just don't swipe to them. But maybe
Speaker 1: she would like it, you know, No, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't like describe myself as a romantic or anything like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so she didn't know it's coming anither. I think the
Speaker 1: key to a grand romantic gesture is to be surprising
Speaker 1: someone with it, not telling people. I'm going to surprise you,
Speaker 1: yetic gesture. Yeah, that's a good point. How many surprises
Speaker 1: on a first date have we heard that end? Well, well,
Speaker 1: if they're coming to us there, yeah, there's got to
Speaker 1: be a good one. Though. One tell us that you
Speaker 1: came up with a good one, Patrick, Well, I think so.
Speaker 1: So basically we talked for a few days, right, we
Speaker 1: go out to this like mom and pop pizza shot
Speaker 1: because our chemistry seemed like it was really good. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: invite her out to this place? Right, literally the best
Speaker 1: pizza I've ever had. Guys, nice dude, So what was
Speaker 1: it like when you first saw all Right? Well, like
Speaker 1: I said, her smile was insane. It made me want
Speaker 1: to go crazy. Oh that's that's a sweet comment to you.
Speaker 1: It sounds a little psychotic because he keeps using the
Speaker 1: word insane. I know what he means, and I just
Speaker 1: think it's nice, like a welcoming, beautiful smile. Her beautiful
Speaker 1: eyes made me want to have a mental breakdown. Truly,
Speaker 1: that is gesture. Okay, what was the great romantic gesture? Though?
Speaker 1: I want to know. So, as we're like walking into
Speaker 1: this piece of place, there's this guy that's selling flowers
Speaker 1: on the corner, and like I said, I'm not really
Speaker 1: one to be romantic, but it felt right. When you're
Speaker 1: walking by, You're like, that seems like a nice idea. Okay,
Speaker 1: get her some flowers. Yeah, yeah, so he's selling these
Speaker 1: bucase like twenty bucks. That's a lot of money. I
Speaker 1: only had fifteen bucks. Would you do? Ask you to
Speaker 1: spot your five bucks so she could get her on
Speaker 1: your flowers? Hey, broddy, why don't you take like sixteen
Speaker 1: pedals off? So she even offered to like give me
Speaker 1: the other five bucks. I can't help wait, you openly
Speaker 1: said no, she offered, first of all. Second of all,
Speaker 1: I said, no, okay, okay, what it's like, I will
Speaker 1: give you one red rose for fifteen bucks, which feels
Speaker 1: like an even worse idea on a first date. Red
Speaker 1: roses or like love. And I'm not trying to be
Speaker 1: weird about it. I just thought it was nice. I
Speaker 1: don't know. So you did it. You spent the fifteen
Speaker 1: dollars on one red rose twenty minutes later into haggling
Speaker 1: for some flowers. Friendship. I think we need to go
Speaker 1: back to the definition of grand romantic. Yeah, because this
Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't fall under what did you end up
Speaker 1: doing so clearly this is going really really well so far.
Speaker 1: So the deal we ended up doing was uh ten
Speaker 1: bucks for this wilted bouquet, and the flowers did not
Speaker 1: look great. I will this counterflower? Did she laugh? I mean,
Speaker 1: did you guys make it a joke? How did she react?
Speaker 1: I could? I feel like she at least appreciated it.
Speaker 1: Like I said, the pizza was really the biggest thing.
Speaker 1: So we still go in have the best pizza that
Speaker 1: she says she's ever had. I asked her to go
Speaker 1: back to mine because things were going so well. Yea,
Speaker 1: I may have said goodbye. The next morning, those flowers
Speaker 1: got a lot more wilted because the room is so
Speaker 1: hot less nobody. Yeah, well it's been three days now.
Speaker 1: That long but long enough where I'm like, where what happened? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Long enough? That's a good way to put it. And
Speaker 1: she hasn't texted you back at all, so I'm here. Okay. Well,
Speaker 1: if the flowers gesture didn't seal the deal, then maybe
Speaker 1: the gesture of getting a phone call from a radio station,
Speaker 1: maybe that'll help push her over the edge. That's pretty grand,
Speaker 1: crossing my fingers, guys, grand. I don't know if it's romantic.
Speaker 1: We'll find out. We're going to do your second date
Speaker 1: update right after this second great pizza, twenty dollars, stimulating conversation.
Speaker 1: Zero dollars and a bushel of badly wilted flowers should
Speaker 1: be priceless, but they cost ten bucks and Patrick, our listener,
Speaker 1: paid it and it actually worked out for him because
Speaker 1: Ashley stayed the night over at his place. But after
Speaker 1: three days now, she's not calling back. We're calling so soon.
Speaker 1: I'm just so worried that we're too eager. There's no
Speaker 1: such thing as being too eager in love. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: don't quote me on that, actually, but we're gonna try
Speaker 1: and find out if there's a solid reason for why
Speaker 1: Ashley has broke off communication. Patrick, how are you feeling,
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit bummed out. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm confused. I mean, it may not be a
Speaker 1: loss yet, like we've talked about, it's only three days.
Speaker 1: Maybe she's just busy. Yeah, but zero nothing not a high.
Speaker 1: I'm kind and after ten dollars of wilted flowers something
Speaker 1: as an explanation, Let's try and get something out of her. Here,
Speaker 1: are you ready? Yeah? I am ready and you know,
Speaker 1: I see that she's gotten my text message, so they've
Speaker 1: they've been delivered. She hasn't blocked me, so like you're saying,
Speaker 1: it's not completely thought that crossed your mind? Might it's baby?
Speaker 1: All right? All rights, like that happened to you in
Speaker 1: the past, now, YEA somewhat concerned. I know when I've
Speaker 1: been blocked. Dating apps are weird, man, that's what's weird.
Speaker 1: We can all agree on. Let's see what she has
Speaker 1: to say though. Here we go. Hello, Hey, is this Ashley? Yes?
Speaker 1: It is this all? Sorry. I don't hope we're not
Speaker 1: interrupting anything. I'm busy, but I'm whoses. We're a radio
Speaker 1: show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Wait a
Speaker 1: radio show, yeah, an English one. Don't worry. We're called
Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey and we're doing something called a second
Speaker 1: Date update. Okay, it's a second that we do where
Speaker 1: we try and help some of our listeners get in
Speaker 1: touch with someone after they've gone on a date. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's kind of fun. Yeah, we got a guy who's
Speaker 1: like super eager to see you, but not too eager. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like right in the middle, just the medium, perfect
Speaker 1: amount of thought. I thought you said there wasn't such
Speaker 1: thing as being too eager. I think we agreed that
Speaker 1: there was no certain amount of eagerness. That is right.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is a little freaked out. Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's okay. I'm sorry. We're calling about a guy named
Speaker 1: Patrick that you went to pizza with the other night. Sorry,
Speaker 1: so confused right now. We heard he fed you the
Speaker 1: best pizza of your life, so that's got to get points. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we went to this really cute little like kind of
Speaker 1: I guess mom and pop like pizza shop. Overally was
Speaker 1: very good. I mean he told us all about your date,
Speaker 1: and so we got an idea that it was a
Speaker 1: pretty good time because you ended up staying the night
Speaker 1: over at his place. Oh my god. Wow, she's very noticing.
Speaker 1: He didn't tell us any any details beyond that. But
Speaker 1: that's okay. I mean, you sound giggly and excited. I will.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just a little freaked out right now.
Speaker 1: I've just never been on a rating station about did
Speaker 1: you plan on getting back to him to set up
Speaker 1: you know something else? You know, I just haven't like
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out yet. There was just something
Speaker 1: that was like a little bit kind of off. So
Speaker 1: I just haven't had the time to like address it yet. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you mind if we asked what was off? Because
Speaker 1: Patrick is really confused, he's not sure what happened. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I did spend the night over his house, and
Speaker 1: then like I woke up the next morning and I
Speaker 1: just felt like disgusting, like we all feel that though
Speaker 1: after non like that. It was more so like musically
Speaker 1: like I had really oily skin and like really greasy, greasy,
Speaker 1: greasy hair and like like not changes sheets in a
Speaker 1: long time. I don't know, but it was so weird
Speaker 1: because that first that never has happened to me ever,
Speaker 1: even if I haven't washed my hair in like three days,
Speaker 1: Like I don't have greasy hair at all. My skin
Speaker 1: is actually quite clear as they take really good care
Speaker 1: of it. But like I came home just so freaked out.
Speaker 1: It couldn't wait to go home and just get in
Speaker 1: the shower. Isn't that like the TikTok thing right now
Speaker 1: that people are talking about, like the boys hair exactly.
Speaker 1: Mike Broommates said that his boyfriend Aaron I never heard.
Speaker 1: It's like it's just him. It's it's like something in me.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain it, Like it like
Speaker 1: you're living in like a leftover pizza box essentially, that
Speaker 1: sounds kind of nice. Yeah, boyfriend, like it's all of
Speaker 1: my call. But then now it's like, okay, if they're cleaner,
Speaker 1: you know, right, So it's just being around him. You
Speaker 1: think you walk into apartment and it's like there's maybe
Speaker 1: a poster tacked up on the wall and like a
Speaker 1: black leather couch the bathroom. Yeah, exactly. It sounds like
Speaker 1: Brooke was with Patrick too. They're an upgrade if they're
Speaker 1: not sleeping on a futon like that type of that
Speaker 1: type of dude. So what is that? What was going on?
Speaker 1: I mean, you weren't that far off, but the futon
Speaker 1: wasn't on the floor like he had a best so
Speaker 1: you were kind of thought on with all the other things.
Speaker 1: So you just grossed out by him? Yeah? I was
Speaker 1: grossed not by him, but like the way that I
Speaker 1: felt when I left it was his atmosphere. Let me
Speaker 1: ask you this, how does the air feel to you
Speaker 1: right now? Clean? Really? But there is Patrick who's on
Speaker 1: the line. Don't you think the boyfriend air would have
Speaker 1: snuck in if it was something to do with him,
Speaker 1: and we're on the air through the phone. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know how boyfriend air permeates. Yeah, but Patrick, who's there?
Speaker 1: Pat boyfriend nerves sounds like just the most ridiculous thing
Speaker 1: that I've ever heard. I can't believe that that's the
Speaker 1: reason that you're not talking. Not that I'm not talking
Speaker 1: to you. I'm just like taking a second to like
Speaker 1: process it because it was so weird and I didn't
Speaker 1: know how to address it. Second or three days, I
Speaker 1: don't know. And you pull out your phone every time
Speaker 1: you like look anything up, if you go on maps,
Speaker 1: if you're navigating. I know that you've looked past our
Speaker 1: messages a couple of times. I'm just confused. Well, that's
Speaker 1: a little harsh. I just needed a minute to like
Speaker 1: figure out how it's going to say, because this is
Speaker 1: a really weird conversation to have. I've never been in
Speaker 1: this situation before, so I was surprised by your hostility
Speaker 1: because you were so sweet. No, I'm just confused. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It sounds like this is like the second
Speaker 1: time it's happened. Maybe maybe this is you. Maybe this
Speaker 1: is a you thing, not me. You think that she
Speaker 1: has bad girlfriend air and she her air into your apartment.
Speaker 1: That sounds like it at this point. I mean, it
Speaker 1: sounds like Patrick, your place is just like a stereotypical
Speaker 1: bachelor pad. Would you agree, I mean, would you agree
Speaker 1: with that state? I've never been there. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I know why she scause that's what she described. She
Speaker 1: described it as boyfriend air, which he didn't say his
Speaker 1: apartment was a dump together. Yeah, yeah, saying is like
Speaker 1: what's in your fridge right now? I know, it's a
Speaker 1: very good judge of how someone lives. It's a radio
Speaker 1: bit from thirty years ago. Okay, I don't just have condiments.
Speaker 1: And as far as like in terms of my apartment,
Speaker 1: it's the nicest of all of my friends. So that's good. Okay.
Speaker 1: I mean I think we're getting too much into the
Speaker 1: nitty gritty of this. The bottom of the pritty was
Speaker 1: the problem? Well yeah, okay, Well I'm just saying, actually,
Speaker 1: you said that you felt like you had a really
Speaker 1: nice time, that he had a nice personality and you
Speaker 1: vibe together. Isn't that the most important part? Sure? But
Speaker 1: like the logistics, like I don't want to feel like
Speaker 1: a grease ball every time I hang out with him,
Speaker 1: every time I go to his apartment, Like it's That's
Speaker 1: what I've been like considering, like, how do you say
Speaker 1: to someone, Hey, your apartment had a greasy feel about
Speaker 1: it in heindel growth, Like can you do something? What
Speaker 1: is he going to do? Move? Like there's nothing, but
Speaker 1: well there's an idea. Maybe I didn't think about that. Patrick.
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not going to move after a first date.
Speaker 1: I mean, what things were great, Ashley, But how about this?
Speaker 1: What if we try your place and see if you
Speaker 1: still have the greasy feeling? Because if that's the case,
Speaker 1: then it's me not you. That's true. Her place has
Speaker 1: her own toothbrush and some face wash. Maybe that's all
Speaker 1: she actually needs. Do you just ask her for a
Speaker 1: free hook up over at her place this time just
Speaker 1: to test the air. I know you're jealous, and that's okay.
Speaker 1: You're welcome to steal that if you want to. Right here, Actually,
Speaker 1: what do you think test out the grease and report
Speaker 1: back to us for a free day. It's just like,
Speaker 1: the only person that this is going to prove anything
Speaker 1: to is him, Like, I live in my apartment, so obviously, no,
Speaker 1: it's clean and not greasy, but I both say that,
Speaker 1: like you, no, we've ever done anything like this with
Speaker 1: me before ever, and it's totally worthy of a second
Speaker 1: DAPE could barely understand what you were saying through the laughter.
Speaker 1: But second day a second day. But I guess the
Speaker 1: rule is this time you can't hook up because the
Speaker 1: intimacy could lead to extra greasiness. I read that on
Speaker 1: Brooks bumper sticker. It was a long one. Yeah, Broke
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the morning,
