Speaker 1: The second date of day.
Speaker 2: One thing that we've learned doing thousands of these phone
Speaker 2: calls is trying harder on a date doesn't guarantee you're
Speaker 2: gonna get good results.
Speaker 3: Sometimes guarantees.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Unfortunately, trying is the key to failing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what one of our listeners, Jimmy, said,
Speaker 2: happened the other night.
Speaker 1: He tried, and now he regrets ever doing.
Speaker 2: Oh, Jimmy, welcome to Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning
Speaker 2: where Dreams Go to Die.
Speaker 3: Say it again.
Speaker 1: We're putting it on our website. Jimmy, welcome man.
Speaker 4: Thanks, Thanks, my dream doesn't die here. Give me a shot. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I want to hear about your trying, Jimmy. Yeah, it
Speaker 3: sounds like you went in with hopeful attitude on this date.
Speaker 1: Who did you try for? What's her name?
Speaker 4: Her name is Erica. She's really nice, she's super cute.
Speaker 3: What about her made you want to try?
Speaker 4: We just we just a lot of the things they
Speaker 4: were looking for four happened to line up. I mean
Speaker 4: obviously for me, it starts number one, like am I
Speaker 4: attracted to you or not? So there was that, and
Speaker 4: then all this stuff just happened to match up.
Speaker 1: So you want to be attracted to the people that
Speaker 1: you date weird.
Speaker 4: I know, I know, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the strategy you want to go with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, wow so shallow.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's good. Okay, So what you said you tried?
Speaker 2: What does that mean? What did you do that was
Speaker 2: above and beyond?
Speaker 4: So I kind of blame you, guys. I listened to
Speaker 4: you guys, and I hear all these stories about people
Speaker 4: like trying something different, like, oh, we didn't just go
Speaker 4: to like dinner in a movie.
Speaker 5: We did this weird thing.
Speaker 3: We went like sky Do you ever listen to the
Speaker 3: end of those?
Speaker 2: It probably turns us off after two minutes like most people.
Speaker 3: He's like, that sounds like a great Are you realize
Speaker 3: why they're calling us? What was your big creative idea
Speaker 3: for a date?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 4: So first of all, we met out a food truck
Speaker 4: and I was like, I got a surprise for you.
Speaker 4: So we walked a few to a psychic.
Speaker 3: Oh, oh did you know if she I mean, some
Speaker 3: people have some real strong opinions about this type of stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess, so, I mean, I don't know. I
Speaker 4: just thought it would be a fun thing. My friend
Speaker 4: had gone to them and they had a good time.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I always want to walk in when I
Speaker 3: see those. I think that they're more expensive than I
Speaker 3: want to pay, though, but on a date if he's paying.
Speaker 1: What did the fortune teller do?
Speaker 2: Did they look in like a crystal ball or did
Speaker 2: they open up like a fortune cookie and read.
Speaker 3: It to you?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: No, it was a tarot card thing. It was a
Speaker 4: kay okay, like a lot of my lady friends are
Speaker 4: really into that too.
Speaker 5: I thought maybe it might.
Speaker 3: Be So what was her attitude when you told her
Speaker 3: about the surprise?
Speaker 4: She was like she was surprised. She was smiling and
Speaker 4: thought it was going to be fun.
Speaker 5: I thought so.
Speaker 4: But you say I had no reason to be concerned.
Speaker 1: You say that it didn't work out for you. What
Speaker 1: happened right?
Speaker 4: Well? Okay, so they you know, reading the future and
Speaker 4: like the big takeaway at the end was that Erica
Speaker 4: and I were going to be a really really really
Speaker 4: bad match.
Speaker 3: Did Erica what does she say?
Speaker 4: She left?
Speaker 5: She last?
Speaker 1: She just agreed with the psychic.
Speaker 3: It's hard not to believe. That was like a little like,
Speaker 3: I mean, you know sometimes those people also like send
Speaker 3: something else that's going on? Are you allowed to ask why,
Speaker 3: Like are you allowed to say why?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 3: Are a good match? Sounds good to me?
Speaker 4: I wasn't particularly interested in, like.
Speaker 2: Did you offer to fight them?
Speaker 1: No, I'm a great guy, perfect match.
Speaker 3: Erica just like dashed out.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, She's not like I'm leaving. She was
Speaker 4: like laughing and it was awkward, and she's like, I
Speaker 4: gotta go outside, and I was like, okay, but I'm
Speaker 4: going to stay in here because I gotta like I
Speaker 4: almost gonna try to get my money back, right.
Speaker 3: Oh is that what you did four weeks?
Speaker 1: It out looks cheap.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a tarot card reading, not a wingman situation.
Speaker 4: On a date, like we're there to have a good time,
Speaker 4: and then like you're gonna give me that, Like you
Speaker 4: might as well say like, oh no, you better go
Speaker 4: home right now. Your dog's gonna die.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, like you needed to get the diss on
Speaker 3: a psychic down the road. How to tell this girl's
Speaker 3: sleep with Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: Like I said, I was like, what is this?
Speaker 4: She was like, sorry, the cards don't lie, And I'm like,
Speaker 4: maybe you could make them lie for this.
Speaker 1: I mean, most people don't know tarot cards.
Speaker 4: You could tell me anything and be like, oh, this
Speaker 4: is the joker, but it's.
Speaker 2: Upset, like this is the thirteenth moon of Geneva and
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: Know what that It sounds like Erica was laughing, Like
Speaker 3: it doesn't sound like she was actually upset.
Speaker 1: Sounds she stormed out.
Speaker 3: He said she was laughing and she said, I'll meet
Speaker 3: you outside.
Speaker 1: Did you meet up with her after that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? She actually came back in to get me out
Speaker 4: of there.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, so you were arguing with the psychic over
Speaker 3: money and then Erica had to come back in and
Speaker 3: pull you out.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The card that is way worse. Yeah, this is what
Speaker 3: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: This guy is not cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's your bad luck.
Speaker 4: Okay, and again, bad luck doesn't mean you're a bad person,
Speaker 4: doesn't mean you don't match.
Speaker 1: But I could see why that image isn't good. So
Speaker 1: how did this date end?
Speaker 4: I mean, we had a drink, but it was super
Speaker 4: awkward and then that was it and it was over.
Speaker 3: You don't want to stick with the cards and just
Speaker 3: let this lie?
Speaker 4: No, No, I would love a second chance. I would
Speaker 4: love that you have a Tarot card?
Speaker 1: Should we make it's a Tarot card? Reading? Do you
Speaker 1: have any training in this. No, I just have some
Speaker 1: crystal balls that you got to rub. No, those are different.
Speaker 3: Why are they crystal of them?
Speaker 1: Because a rubbing them now before we before, just like
Speaker 1: you the normal way. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, please don't.
Speaker 2: We'll do it the old fashioned Give her a call.
Speaker 2: See what she has to say.
Speaker 3: You go, Oh, I predict it's going to turn out great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's our psychic predictions.
Speaker 1: We're going to come back and do it with your
Speaker 1: second date. Update right after this.
Speaker 3: Date.
Speaker 2: You've probably been out on a first date where a
Speaker 2: total stranger comes up and just randomly says you two
Speaker 2: makes such a cute couple.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that is such a nice moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that happens sometimes, but probably not a lot of
Speaker 2: daters have experienced somebody saying, wow, you too look like
Speaker 2: a terrible match.
Speaker 3: Even if a lot of people are thank you about it,
Speaker 3: nobody actually says it.
Speaker 4: I know you're with.
Speaker 2: Them, I know Brooks uncle said that to her once.
Speaker 2: It's about her cousin because they look too similar.
Speaker 3: You're so dumb. I did not date my.
Speaker 1: Cousin because your uncle wouldn't allow it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was smart of him, but most of
Speaker 2: the time, you don't get the kiss of death via
Speaker 2: tarot card.
Speaker 1: On the first day.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, that's what happened with one of our listeners, Jimmy,
Speaker 2: where the psychic literally looked at the cards and said,
Speaker 2: this relationship is due.
Speaker 3: I mean, it is a bad tone for the rest
Speaker 3: of the night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're coming in with a slightly more optimistic
Speaker 2: attitude when we call Erica for him. Here, Jimmy, how
Speaker 2: are you feeling right now?
Speaker 5: I'm feeling all right.
Speaker 4: Let's see hopefully.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, man.
Speaker 3: That's you need to be more like I don't know,
Speaker 3: there we go. You need to be going into this.
Speaker 4: And jeff was rubbing his crystal balls for you very extensively.
Speaker 4: In between the break.
Speaker 3: He said, it was gonna What did you see in
Speaker 3: those The outlook is.
Speaker 4: Good, very good, Jimmy, all right, something telling me that's
Speaker 4: not gonna help.
Speaker 1: But let's just call and see if that helps too.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna call a Erica. Let's do it. Hello, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're looking for Erica this time.
Speaker 2: Hey, Erica, we're a morning radio show called Brook and Jeffrey,
Speaker 2: and that means you're on the radio right now. I'm
Speaker 2: Jeffrey by the way.
Speaker 5: Oh hi everybody.
Speaker 3: Hi, congratulations. Big feature spot on our show today is
Speaker 3: that what we're calling.
Speaker 1: Maybe congratulations isn't quite the right word, but it might be.
Speaker 2: If it turns out you are still interested in the
Speaker 2: guy you went out with the other night named Jimmy.
Speaker 5: What I thought this was a prize giveaway?
Speaker 2: Well, and Jimmy is your prize sick a little teddy
Speaker 2: bear at the bottom of a claw machine.
Speaker 1: Get him?
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I'm gonna exchange that price for something else,
Speaker 5: for like, what like a key shake.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can do that. Why do
Speaker 1: you say that though?
Speaker 2: I mean, we know you're not calling jim back after
Speaker 2: your date where we're trying to help him.
Speaker 1: Figure out why.
Speaker 5: Okay, so this is Oh my gosh, it was so crazy.
Speaker 5: I don't know what Jimmy told you.
Speaker 3: Guys. Oh, but we'd love to hear your version of
Speaker 3: the night.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was horrific. Okay, let me rewind. Yes, please,
Speaker 5: we went to a psychic to read our future.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what did you think when he because he
Speaker 3: said that he surprised you with that a tarot card reading?
Speaker 3: What was your initial thought on that?
Speaker 5: I thought it was weird and strange. I was like,
Speaker 5: why are we going to see a psychic? But I
Speaker 5: was trying to be optimistic, so I was like, well,
Speaker 5: let me go with the flow.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think that was his whole goal. Is he was
Speaker 2: just trying to do something new, unique. It wasn't something
Speaker 2: that he necessarily like believes like wholeheartedly in his soul.
Speaker 3: It's a risky activity to pick because yeah, and it
Speaker 3: doesn't sound like it was something you were super comfortable.
Speaker 5: With, right, And it's crazy you said it was risky
Speaker 5: because when we got there, like she was reading the
Speaker 5: cards and all of a sudden, as one car came
Speaker 5: out and it was called like the three of wand
Speaker 5: the swords, three.
Speaker 3: Of swords swords.
Speaker 5: Yes, like three daggers through you or something like that sounds.
Speaker 1: Good to me.
Speaker 5: It was horrible.
Speaker 1: It's horrible.
Speaker 5: It was actually horrible. It meant like something about portrayal
Speaker 5: and heartbroken.
Speaker 3: Oh, is that when the tarot card reader told you
Speaker 3: guys that you shouldn't be together?
Speaker 5: Yeah, she actually said we were going to be like
Speaker 5: really bad for each other.
Speaker 2: But do you feel like maybe she was just a
Speaker 2: little bit jealous?
Speaker 5: I honestly don't think she was jealous. I think she
Speaker 5: was actually pretty legit because when we first met, I
Speaker 5: got there, I was I was like nine, and I
Speaker 5: saw you and I was like kai, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 5: we're about to eat together. But he said to me like, hey,
Speaker 5: already ate, but you know if you want something, you
Speaker 5: can go get in a line.
Speaker 1: Oh are you talking about at the food truck?
Speaker 3: Yes, wait said he took you to a food truck,
Speaker 3: meaning that you guys ate together.
Speaker 5: That was what we thought, Well, he ate, but I didn't.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, he before you.
Speaker 5: Really, before I even got there. And you know, I
Speaker 5: really thought it was so rude that he told me
Speaker 5: to just go get in line and go buy my
Speaker 5: own food, like on a first date.
Speaker 1: Yes, but it also could be like a show of
Speaker 1: your an independent woman.
Speaker 2: No, no, but I respect your woman, support yourself.
Speaker 3: Listen, if you're gonna take me out on the date,
Speaker 3: you're gonna feed me. If I am not fed, wait
Speaker 3: in line with me. Seriously, that is just that is
Speaker 3: super rude.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't deny that.
Speaker 5: Yeah. So I had this gut feeling, but the tour
Speaker 5: reader she pretty much confirmed it to me. And even
Speaker 5: in there, it was like, I just rushed out of there,
Speaker 5: and I hear him still arguing with her about giving
Speaker 5: his money.
Speaker 3: Back, and I'm like, plus you were hungry at the
Speaker 3: time too, I mean, all of it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't help.
Speaker 2: Well, you don't know this, but I have a Tarot
Speaker 2: deck out in front of me, and I just drew
Speaker 2: the three phone calls the microphone. No oh no, I'm
Speaker 2: a pretty bad Tarot reader. And one of the phones
Speaker 2: must be Jimmy on the other line, wanting to talk
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 5: You're joking, Are you joking?
Speaker 1: No, I'm not joking.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 3: Wow, Jimmy, it didn't sound good anything to say.
Speaker 4: I mean, the only thing I have to say is
Speaker 4: that I don't know what I did that was that bad.
Speaker 4: I mean, y'all are like the guy in the backgrounds like,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, what just because I didn't buy her
Speaker 4: the food at the food truck?
Speaker 3: Why exactly, Jimmy, why aren't you starting with I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: You don't see why, bro, But that would be a
Speaker 4: little upsetting to anybody on a day like you ate
Speaker 4: without them upsetting. That's a really good food truck. You
Speaker 4: should be happy, no manners.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I didn't want to wait fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: for her to get there so you can eat together.
Speaker 4: It's not a restaurant, guys, it's a food truck. You
Speaker 4: go in and go out whenever you want. We want
Speaker 4: like a five star restaurant.
Speaker 3: But why wouldn't you order food for Erica and have
Speaker 3: it like waiting there for her. If it's like your
Speaker 3: favorite food truck and you're like, you've got to try this, like,
Speaker 3: just order it for her.
Speaker 4: Because I used all my suping money on the psychic.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not that you no wonder you wanted to refund.
Speaker 1: Those psychics aren't cheap if you didn't spend money on her.
Speaker 4: First okay, but actually didn't even invite her to dinner.
Speaker 4: I would like, let's meet at the food truck because
Speaker 4: that was the place I know.
Speaker 3: So it's on Erica. It's on Erica that she didn't understand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, see, Erica, he's not rude, he's.
Speaker 5: Just poor, honestly obviously poor and bad manners. Yeah, can
Speaker 5: you tell me we're meeting at a food truck. I'm
Speaker 5: assuming that we're having dinner together.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, hey, meet me and old Garden at
Speaker 4: seven o'clock and then it's like, Okay, where.
Speaker 2: Do you want to be?
Speaker 3: Yes? What I mean, I think that's a universal like a.
Speaker 4: Right, next time we go out, then can we meet
Speaker 4: twenty feet away from the food truck.
Speaker 1: That's how the problem truck adjacent.
Speaker 3: And I like how we started this whole thing about
Speaker 3: how Jimmy put in an extra effort.
Speaker 2: But if you're willing to do that, Erica, then we
Speaker 2: would love to send you two out on a second
Speaker 2: date and pay for it.
Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely not, there would not be a second date.
Speaker 3: It sounds like Jimmy may still need the gift card
Speaker 3: though jeff.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he even wants it anymore.
Speaker 4: You know what I bet if I went to that
Speaker 4: psychic again, I bet she would poll a tel cards
Speaker 4: that tells me that I shouldn't have gone on that
Speaker 4: radio show because you guys have been no help.
Speaker 3: Someone else.
Speaker 1: Suddenly now you're on the psychic side.
Speaker 3: I thought, Jack, it was the three microphones.
Speaker 2: Jeffrey in the morning, all right, Well, obviously that guy
Speaker 2: was acting a little out of pocket, eating his dinner
Speaker 2: before his date even got there, and then telling her
Speaker 2: she's hungry getting line and buy her own.
Speaker 3: Well, that's not apologizing after he heard it recapped to him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that.
Speaker 1: Was pretty heartless.
Speaker 2: But I don't know about the argument that if you
Speaker 2: asked to meet up near something, then it's assumed that
Speaker 2: must be your date.
Speaker 3: He didn't say near, he said at the top at
Speaker 3: the food trick.
Speaker 2: I think it's always yes, absolutely, at the bowling alley,
Speaker 2: you assuming you're gonna go bowling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Or let's meet at the bar. We're gonna get
Speaker 3: a drink.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, then I'm just glad that they didn't meet near
Speaker 2: a proctologist's office.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm disappointed that they didn't meet running the protologist.
Speaker 1: I can't decide how I feel that it'd be a
Speaker 1: good date plus health matters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well a clean date.
Speaker 2: It's a date that they're never going to go on
Speaker 2: because we didn't get them.
Speaker 1: A second date.
Speaker 3: But it just gave you an idea, it really I've.
Speaker 1: Got some reservations to book after this.
Speaker 3: Ladies texted, But you don't need a massage you ever.
Speaker 2: You ever need help with your dating life, you can
Speaker 2: always email that show, our show, that.
Speaker 3: Show that you like it, doesn't you are thinking about
