Speaker 2: is in the show notes.
Speaker 1: And today we got a little special second date, don't we. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the first time we've ever done this. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: the redate. Yeah, so sit back.
Speaker 3: And enjoy second Date update.
Speaker 4: Out of all the second dates we've done, yeah, and
Speaker 4: we're talking hundreds and thousands.
Speaker 1: Even I think tens of thousands, yeah.
Speaker 3: Possibly, Seriously.
Speaker 4: I know, every once in a while I say this
Speaker 4: is a first Oh yeah, but this one really is.
Speaker 1: Oh, you don't mean it the other time?
Speaker 3: That mean no, I mean.
Speaker 4: Those other times, but this time I really mean because.
Speaker 3: We have a return caller.
Speaker 4: His name is Zach and you might remember he was
Speaker 4: on the show a while back told us about his
Speaker 4: mobile bartending business that he does for parties and events.
Speaker 1: And stuff, and he made pretty good money doing it.
Speaker 4: Exactly last time that he was on, he wanted us
Speaker 4: to call a woman named Bethany he had met at
Speaker 4: one of those parties. Well, now he's back and he
Speaker 4: wants us to call that same woman, Bethany again.
Speaker 3: But she knows us.
Speaker 1: How did the last time though, that we called her.
Speaker 4: I don't think it went well. Zach, Are you okay?
Speaker 4: Did you hit your head because we already did this
Speaker 4: and she turned you down right?
Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 5: Well, I just ran into her again and we actually
Speaker 5: went on another first date. Oh well that.
Speaker 1: Would be a second date, Zach.
Speaker 4: If you go and if you go out with the
Speaker 4: same girl two times, that's considered two separate dates.
Speaker 2: I do like two first dates. First date, she said
Speaker 2: no to you on our radio show, and then you
Speaker 2: ran into her in person and then she said yes.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah. Well it was like a few months in
Speaker 5: between when we did that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't realize there's like a statute of limitations,
Speaker 4: you know, where after a certain point it like cancels.
Speaker 3: It resets.
Speaker 2: Well, it's probably just she had a lot of bad
Speaker 2: experiences in that couple of months, so she's like, I
Speaker 2: guess I'll tell that guy.
Speaker 4: Okay, But for those of our listeners who don't know
Speaker 4: what happened the last time, or who might not remember Bethany,
Speaker 4: could you jog our memory just a little bit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I met her while I was bartending a
Speaker 5: joint bachelor slash bachelorette backyard party, and she was just
Speaker 5: one of the Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, right, and why did she not like you? Is
Speaker 1: that well?
Speaker 5: She said, no?
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, he can recap.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what happened the first time?
Speaker 5: She said that, I basically it talked about myself too
Speaker 5: much and my business too much.
Speaker 3: Right, that's right.
Speaker 4: So it didn't work out the last time you were
Speaker 4: on the show. But now you're saying you ran into
Speaker 4: her again recently. Yeah, what happened in the second meetup?
Speaker 5: Well, it's kind of funny because I was bartending another
Speaker 5: bachelor at party. Oh really he was at that one too.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is like a Lexus. How many
Speaker 1: times is this woman going to be in a wedding.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess a lot of our friends are getting
Speaker 5: married right now and she's bouncing from wedding the wedding.
Speaker 1: It had to happen that way.
Speaker 4: Okay, So what happened when you and Bethany saw each
Speaker 4: other at this new bachelor att party?
Speaker 3: I know you?
Speaker 1: Was it that friendly? I'd be shocked.
Speaker 5: First, there was that deer in the headlights where we
Speaker 5: both just kind of locked eyes and for a second.
Speaker 3: How did the interaction go?
Speaker 5: Well, I didn't open up very well. I started with
Speaker 5: you know, hey, it's funny that a lot of your
Speaker 5: friends are getting snatched up and you're still single.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, you said that to her?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think she may like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I tried to stop it as I was coming out,
Speaker 5: but it didn't work.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: What did she say back?
Speaker 5: Well, she said something like, well, there you have it.
Speaker 5: That's why I didn't want another date with you.
Speaker 3: Ah yeah, just reconfirming. Well, the sparks are just flying
Speaker 3: between you two right now. The work is right. Girls.
Speaker 3: Love a little bit of means So you did get
Speaker 3: a date? How did you pivot?
Speaker 5: Well, it wasn't really a date. Officially, it was like
Speaker 5: we we were hanging out at the bachelorette party while
Speaker 5: I was on break, and then we were hanging out
Speaker 5: in this garden area and we actually kind of made
Speaker 5: out a little bit. O. Wait, did you not have
Speaker 5: to worry?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's his own business.
Speaker 1: The bar close halfway.
Speaker 3: Through the Parky just opened twenty deers and leave him
Speaker 3: on the counter. You got to make out?
Speaker 5: I did. I got a make out?
Speaker 4: Well, okay, of course she did, because she'd been drinking
Speaker 4: and you pointed out how lonely she is, so she
Speaker 4: shot need to prove me wrong.
Speaker 2: Probably was it like super drunk makeout or did you
Speaker 2: guys actually connect?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Go into the details for brook, how many.
Speaker 1: Bottom I wouldn't.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't interpret a drunk makeout as she's someone's interested
Speaker 2: in me.
Speaker 3: I gues that's true.
Speaker 2: She could just especially especially any wedding scenario and after
Speaker 2: they've turned me down.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I beg that differ. I think she was definitely interested.
Speaker 3: What gave you those vibes probably the makeout?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it just seemed like there was sparked
Speaker 5: flying because you didn't pull back. She seemed to be
Speaker 5: into it and I was certainly into it.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, okay, now you're here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're saying that she is not responding to
Speaker 4: you after your second bachelorette party.
Speaker 3: Makeout that's correct?
Speaker 2: Then the square once, dude, I am just dying to
Speaker 2: talk to her because she is going to be like
Speaker 2: what you are.
Speaker 1: Calling me again?
Speaker 6: And she's gonna know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's gonna know.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And that's what's funny.
Speaker 4: That's what makes this an actual first we have two
Speaker 4: of the exact same people that are being called on
Speaker 4: the second date update and hoping that the second time
Speaker 4: goes better than the first.
Speaker 3: What do we do? Just go, okay, remember last time?
Speaker 3: Have you reconsider? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, by could you answer differently? What's a strategy here?
Speaker 4: I want to we should get her to talk about
Speaker 4: this last date and what her impression was, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean, we'll just see if she even answers, because
Speaker 4: she has our number two from the last time to
Speaker 4: be called. Point, we're gonna find out. We're going for
Speaker 4: the very first time a second.
Speaker 3: Date update redo, will she answer?
Speaker 2: She? Is?
Speaker 3: This gonna work out? It's coming up. We'll make that
Speaker 3: call right after this second date update.
Speaker 4: The great Yogi bearra once said, I'm getting deja vu
Speaker 4: all over again, and I think that's what I'm feeling
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 1: Who is like a sports guy.
Speaker 2: That's Yogi Bear, like baseball player.
Speaker 3: He's just so embarrassing to work with. I don't know anything.
Speaker 4: Look, the thing is I'm having, that's deja vu feeling
Speaker 4: because we're having the exact same two second daters back
Speaker 4: on again. So you think the title of this would
Speaker 4: be third.
Speaker 3: Date update, But yeah not. According to our listeners, Zach I.
Speaker 2: Thought we could call it Groundhog's day'stand that.
Speaker 4: If you remember Zach, he's a mobile bartender who met
Speaker 4: a woman named Bethany at a joint bachelor bachelorette party
Speaker 4: he was working. Bethany said no to us the first
Speaker 4: time that we called her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean very clearly.
Speaker 4: But fast forward months later, they meet again at a
Speaker 4: different bachelorette party, end up making out, and now she's
Speaker 4: not texting him back.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's no date in any of this story.
Speaker 3: Let's remember that making out is pretty close.
Speaker 2: No, god, ya, do you have any dudes I made
Speaker 2: out with and I didn't even know their names?
Speaker 4: It's interesting the things that you choose to brag about it.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, that's not real life what you're saying.
Speaker 4: I wonder how Bethany is gonna feel when we call
Speaker 4: her and if she answers she hears our voices again, like, Zach,
Speaker 4: doesn't this feel weird to you at all?
Speaker 3: You seem so calm a little bit?
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, things happened for a reason, and
Speaker 5: the fact that we ran into each other again just
Speaker 5: kind of sparked it for me, like, you know, maybe
Speaker 5: there is something there, maybe fate stepping in.
Speaker 1: That's nice, that's a good way to interpret it. And
Speaker 1: if not, you're a chill guy.
Speaker 4: Like and Brook mixed out with chill guys all the
Speaker 4: time without knowing their names, make up.
Speaker 1: With uptight guy whatever. Guy I mean, I'm married, knows
Speaker 1: I can't well before.
Speaker 3: He's also though, we'll see. Let's just call her. We'll
Speaker 3: see if she picks up here we go, Hello, Hi,
Speaker 3: is Bethany so beany fav morning?
Speaker 2: Remember us?
Speaker 3: No, it's good.
Speaker 1: It's like a horror movie.
Speaker 2: Maybe we should just starting to ask for a review
Speaker 2: of how the first time.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's not you, it's not you, it's me.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show. Bethany.
Speaker 6: No, No, not be Bethany. We've been here, We've done this.
Speaker 3: I'm good. We're not know Bethany, you don't. You have
Speaker 3: no idea what we're even calling about. You.
Speaker 6: You know you don't make me do this because.
Speaker 3: Bethany, look, I hear you.
Speaker 4: I really want to respect your wishes, but we have
Speaker 4: a job to do on this show, just like a
Speaker 4: certain strapping hunk of a man who was doing his
Speaker 4: job serving you drinks recently, you.
Speaker 6: Know, Zach, I've been trying to forget.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the second time was way smoother than the first.
Speaker 7: Guys, it was a mistake.
Speaker 2: Wait was the makeout session was a mistake?
Speaker 3: Are you sure?
Speaker 4: Because it is interesting that the two of you keep
Speaker 4: randomly running into each other when you're at your most vulnerable.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: All of my friends keep getting married and apparently only
Speaker 6: no one. Bartender.
Speaker 1: Were you shocked? Like, what were you thinking the first
Speaker 1: moment you saw Zach.
Speaker 6: That I need to talk to the maid of honor
Speaker 6: at the next party I'm going to.
Speaker 1: Wasn't there like just a little bit of you that
Speaker 1: was excited to see him?
Speaker 7: I mean, I guess a little bit, because I did
Speaker 7: end up making out with him. But yeah, but it
Speaker 7: was like the tiniest, I mean, the teenious, the tiniest.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, we want to talk to that teeny tiny
Speaker 4: little part of you, and reintroduced that tiny part of
Speaker 4: you to Zach, who you know is already listening and
Speaker 4: desperately wants to talk to you.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, I forgot that was how it works.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Zach, you there, Yeah, here we are back again.
Speaker 6: What are you doing. I told you that that was
Speaker 6: a one time mistake.
Speaker 5: You said that, you said it was a good mistake,
Speaker 5: though so hard.
Speaker 6: That part.
Speaker 7: I just remember saying it was a mistake.
Speaker 6: I mean, honestly, I mean that was a lot of
Speaker 6: guys that night, so I wouldn't say that it was
Speaker 6: like that.
Speaker 5: I probably the last guy who made it.
Speaker 1: So you knows the part of the lineup you want to.
Speaker 5: Be in, you're kind of I mean, he trusted me
Speaker 5: to call you an uber, where you didn't trust anyone
Speaker 5: else to call one for you, because you were.
Speaker 6: The one serving all of us drink. Everyone else was drink.
Speaker 4: I mean, what we were just talking about before we
Speaker 4: called you is stuff like fate and destiny.
Speaker 3: Things happened for a reason.
Speaker 6: Oh no, that's a.
Speaker 1: Little thick, Jeff, just being drunken weddings. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I would think that you keep running into each other.
Speaker 1: There's a tiny bit.
Speaker 2: Of you that's obviously attracted to him. Why not go
Speaker 2: on one real date just to give it a shot.
Speaker 2: What's the worst that could happen? I mean, you've already
Speaker 2: drunkenly made out with him.
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean actually did that twice. But there
Speaker 6: is a big difference between drunkingly making out with somebody
Speaker 6: and then dating the bar.
Speaker 4: Date.
Speaker 1: We're just asking for one date. That's it, one chance.
Speaker 1: One come on.
Speaker 3: You know he's a good kiss.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, a good point.
Speaker 1: We didn't ask for that.
Speaker 4: I mean, Zach, you're the one who has been calling
Speaker 4: us all these times wanting to connect with her. I'll
Speaker 4: give you twenty seconds here to say your piece. Convince
Speaker 4: Bethany to meet up with you one more time.
Speaker 5: Okay. You know what if dating a successful mobile bar
Speaker 5: then there isn't really a dream come true for you.
Speaker 5: I do have bigger than that. Oh. Oh, also want
Speaker 5: to integrate mobile karaoke with it as well.
Speaker 3: That's actually smart playing.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's much better than the sober karaoke mobile djis right.
Speaker 5: You can come get your confidence from me and then
Speaker 5: go ahead and sing your song right after.
Speaker 3: Dude, all you need.
Speaker 2: Is a bed situation and you kind of have a
Speaker 2: mobile home at this point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, party, you have a drink and laid out.
Speaker 3: Is that a selling point for you, Bethany, I'm not sure.
Speaker 5: One thing you probably don't know about that. You know,
Speaker 5: I was basically right in a trailer And for my
Speaker 5: ninth birthday, I got a microphone in a boom box
Speaker 5: and I used it. And I kind of have a
Speaker 5: natural sound in my voice as well. I wouldn't be
Speaker 5: surprised if the woould you just hearing it?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Really, your singing voice is really good.
Speaker 3: Are you gonna hear serenade?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Brown?
Speaker 3: Oh wow? Go for that? Love? Oh whoa?
Speaker 1: That all right? It sounds so fun. Go on one date?
Speaker 3: Come on, we'll pay for it. Remember, Bethany, if you
Speaker 3: say yes the dates on us, it.
Speaker 1: Won't do it for the plot.
Speaker 6: I can't and I'm not saying that like I never
Speaker 6: want to see you again. But I am going to
Speaker 6: ask if you are bartending at a bachelorette party for
Speaker 6: a girl named Sienna next month, because if you are
Speaker 6: I'm going to have to change my rs VP.
Speaker 1: He's a Roman tickett heart.
Speaker 5: What a guy about solid. So there's a good chance
Speaker 5: you'll see me there that book.
Speaker 6: Solid.
Speaker 4: Zach, you're her kryptonite. Every time that she's around you,
Speaker 4: she goes weak.
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know with him or the mohido,
Speaker 6: but you.
Speaker 4: May serve a strong It's the perfect combo. It's all
Speaker 4: leading you towards Zach. So it might be a no
Speaker 4: from you now, Bethany, but it could be possible next
Speaker 4: month at Sienna's bachelorette party.
Speaker 3: Third makeout, I say.
Speaker 1: Third time on this show call back.
Speaker 2: She's going to be like fifty first dates all the time.
Speaker 4: She goes, I'll go we will call you one hundred
Speaker 4: times until you were great.
Speaker 1: I think she's laughing.
Speaker 5: Ay, right, well, I say, faithful Lenda hand and the thing,
Speaker 5: and I've got a good feeling. We'll see each other
Speaker 5: next month.
Speaker 4: Get your uber apple opal it for you.
Speaker 3: Look Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4: So yeah, when it comes to Bethany and Zach, we
Speaker 4: are oh for two.
Speaker 2: I really thought we were gonna get her right there.
Speaker 2: I thought that she was like, Okay, I'll give him
Speaker 2: a chance.
Speaker 3: She's coming around.
Speaker 6: She's admitted.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's pretty good kissing. Yeah when I'm drunk, I guess.
Speaker 3: But we're gonna get her. That's the thing. All for
Speaker 3: two is not three strikes. You're out. Zach is still
Speaker 3: in this game for a couple more swings. He just
Speaker 3: has to run into her again.
Speaker 1: Guys, I think we're done.
Speaker 4: No, Brook, I was so proud of you during this segment.
Speaker 4: I really thought in part one you were not very
Speaker 4: on board. Was Zach trying again after the rejection? I
Speaker 4: think you called him sad and desperate, but say that
Speaker 4: something like that. But by the end you were really
Speaker 4: on board with Zach pulling for him.
Speaker 1: I think he's a sweet guy. I just think.
Speaker 3: Just stop there. Okay, you know I don't have to
Speaker 3: say anymore.
Speaker 4: Brook. You are my MVP of today's Sponge Hall, even
Speaker 4: if it did end in total utter failure.
Speaker 3: You can take the MVP on this one.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: I guess You're welcome, Brook, And remember, Brook can be
Speaker 4: the MVP for you. If you email the show, we'll
Speaker 4: call that person who's not calling you back, no matter
Speaker 4: how many times you've run out to them and they've
Speaker 4: said no.
Speaker 1: I'd like to say after twice, we're just gonna call it.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no negative attitudes here, and you won't find any
Speaker 4: negative attitudes on our podcast either.
Speaker 3: You'll find them wherever you get yours at Brook and
Speaker 3: Jeffrey
