Speaker 1: You've heard the stat that fifty percent of relationships end
Speaker 1: in divorce. Yeah, well, on our show, fifty percent of
Speaker 1: people who go out on second dates never return our emails.
Speaker 1: I would say it's higher actually likes. But hey, there
Speaker 1: is one couple who did. They went on a virtual
Speaker 1: date that even had a special theme for the night.
Speaker 1: Things definitely got weird, not just that evening, but over
Speaker 1: the phone with us too. But today they're back with
Speaker 1: an update on their situation. We're gonna play their original
Speaker 1: call first and then afterwards talk to the couple to
Speaker 1: find out what's new in a second date update. Update
Speaker 1: that's coming up next second date update. What counts as
Speaker 1: dating right now? I think that's a fair question. Like
Speaker 1: if you only see each other between the hours of
Speaker 1: three am and seven am and you're never sober for that,
Speaker 1: is that Well, that's how I used to date. I
Speaker 1: thought that was dating. If you've only bought you socks
Speaker 1: from them online? Is that dating.
Speaker 2: In that case?
Speaker 1: In some circles, I think that might qualify. And one
Speaker 1: of our listeners emailed us because she isn't sure if
Speaker 1: her hangout should be considered worthy of a second date update.
Speaker 1: She said she was hoping that we would do it.
Speaker 3: Well, we have low standards, so I'm sure we will.
Speaker 1: And she's actually lucky that the first four people that
Speaker 1: we tried calling this morning didn't answer.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 1: Because of that, Nicole, you are worthy of a second date.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, Hookup, Nicole. We look forward to
Speaker 1: helping you, even if you've only bought someone socks recently. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: well I'm gonna stop guessing. Why don't you just start
Speaker 1: telling us what's going on?
Speaker 4: Nicole?
Speaker 1: Who are we trying to call today?
Speaker 5: We're trying to well, Evan, I wasn't sure afet answer
Speaker 5: because it was actually we had a virtual date, not
Speaker 5: an in person date.
Speaker 2: Oh I think that counts more than like a three
Speaker 2: am hookup as a date.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's thoughtful, it's planned out right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't mind a virtual date. I actually I
Speaker 6: actually prefer it.
Speaker 5: You know, when you meet people online, there's a lot
Speaker 5: of build up, and then you meet up in person
Speaker 5: and sometimes it's really awkward, like they don't look like
Speaker 5: their picture and they have no personality, and then you're
Speaker 5: you're stuck.
Speaker 2: Is that why you chose to do a virtual date,
Speaker 2: because you've had such a bad run with online dating.
Speaker 1: Or because you can start a virtual date with no
Speaker 1: pants and no one would know.
Speaker 2: That usually makes a date go better even in person.
Speaker 6: A little bit of both, A little bit of both.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just so exhausted of doing any sort of
Speaker 2: video like chatting at all. But it sounds like you
Speaker 2: can talk a lot, so it sounds like it'd be good.
Speaker 1: She meant. I think she meant that as a compliment.
Speaker 2: Is there any nerves going into a virtual date?
Speaker 6: No, I do have nerves.
Speaker 5: I was a little nervous because he had a really
Speaker 5: fun date plan. So Evan said that we should meet
Speaker 5: up online and do a virtual burrito date, which I
Speaker 5: thought was really cute.
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 3: Sounds messy?
Speaker 5: No, No, and it wasn't messy because his idea is
Speaker 5: that we would buy three different frozen burritos, the same ones,
Speaker 5: and then we would try them together on you, which
Speaker 5: I thought was really cute.
Speaker 3: I kind of like to like find the best frozen burrito.
Speaker 6: No, it's not.
Speaker 3: It's not a bad angle.
Speaker 5: We don't know the name of.
Speaker 1: It, but it's that orange one. Let's try and focus
Speaker 1: on the date and not the food. How did your
Speaker 1: frozen burrito date go.
Speaker 6: It was really fun.
Speaker 5: We both thought the bean and cheese was the best.
Speaker 5: We had a grating system. It was one to ten,
Speaker 5: like in the Olympics. Like we wrote it down and
Speaker 5: held up a little signs so we could both see it.
Speaker 1: The scale of one to ten. How sexy did Evan
Speaker 1: look eating his burrito?
Speaker 6: I I'm saying ten.
Speaker 5: Okay, you know ten's the highest, right, yeah, hot burrito boy?
Speaker 1: All right, So how do you end a burrito date?
Speaker 3: But you got to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: A sprint to the toilet? No, luckily, what how does
Speaker 1: it end?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 6: We just we finished burritos.
Speaker 5: We were just hanging out and talking, you know, we
Speaker 5: broke the ice and I just was told them that
Speaker 5: I was taking bass guitar lessons, which is something really fun.
Speaker 6: But he asked me to play a little bit.
Speaker 5: So I played a little bit of my songs.
Speaker 1: It's like, what did you do?
Speaker 3: Just sit there and he asked for it.
Speaker 1: He gets a slighter out and liked, yeah, the whole thing.
Speaker 2: You only played one song, right, You didn't.
Speaker 1: Differ full concert.
Speaker 3: Of full set.
Speaker 5: I mean I played like a bit of different songs.
Speaker 1: I see, I see and we're talking like real songs,
Speaker 1: not like old McDonald.
Speaker 5: Or something, no, like another One bites the Dust or
Speaker 5: like journeys leven, touch and squeeze in good And that's.
Speaker 1: Impressive, even if you're not good at it, at least
Speaker 1: you mus.
Speaker 2: But you're worried that it like turned him off. Did
Speaker 2: his mood change or something after you're done with your
Speaker 2: bass plan?
Speaker 6: I didn't think so.
Speaker 5: I thought it was fun. We just kind of like
Speaker 5: chatted a little bit more and then it kind of
Speaker 5: came to its own and we said goodbye, and I
Speaker 5: messaged him about going on a real date.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he didn't seem as.
Speaker 5: Interested anymore as before we met first, really like he
Speaker 5: stopped messaging me back that much. And I started to
Speaker 5: think about, you know, like all all the things that
Speaker 5: I worry about with a with a online date or
Speaker 5: virtual date. I was like, do I not look like
Speaker 5: my picture? And I started I asked my roommates. So
Speaker 5: I don't know why he's kind of faded out.
Speaker 3: It sounds like you covered a lot of basses there, Nicole.
Speaker 1: Do you have your bass guitar with you right now?
Speaker 5: It's in the other room, but it's it's here.
Speaker 1: Would do you think maybe we could get a sample
Speaker 1: of your bass guitar playing, just so that we know
Speaker 1: this is research, so that we know what we were
Speaker 1: working with.
Speaker 3: These so uncomfortable people playing music. That's just because you have.
Speaker 6: I mean, i'd have to get at my amp and
Speaker 6: get it set up.
Speaker 5: I could.
Speaker 1: Well, that's good because we actually have to play a song.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna leave. We'll come back, yeah, and then
Speaker 1: you can play us a song when we do your
Speaker 1: second date update right after this.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, radio, hold on update.
Speaker 2: You're in the middle of a second date update update,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna find out how the couple is doing
Speaker 2: right after you here part two.
Speaker 1: I'm purposely bumping into this segment without any music because
Speaker 1: we got our own in house band today.
Speaker 3: I've never been so excited about the second part. It's
Speaker 3: just a moment alone.
Speaker 1: One person, our listener, Nicole, who we've been talking to
Speaker 1: about her dating life. We're gonna get to that in
Speaker 1: just a second. But she's an up and coming bass player. Nicole.
Speaker 1: We asked for a little demonstration because you played a
Speaker 1: little bit of bass on your date. So what are
Speaker 1: we going to be hearing today?
Speaker 5: I'm telling you I just started this month another one
Speaker 5: bites the dust.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, before you get I'm gonna introduce you, ladies
Speaker 1: and jam please welcome to the stage for your listening pleasure.
Speaker 1: Nicole and the finger flip.
Speaker 2: Nic That would give her a second day to think,
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 7: Okay, body, all right, now.
Speaker 1: We've heard the YouTube version. Now play it yourself. An't
Speaker 1: way better than I was expecting you to do after
Speaker 1: just one month of lessons.
Speaker 5: That was legit.
Speaker 1: And so if you're just joining us and you don't
Speaker 1: know why Nicole played, it's because during her virtual date
Speaker 1: with a guy named Evan, she played the bass guitar
Speaker 1: to show him what she's been doing, along with tasting
Speaker 1: some frozen burritos with him. But after that, she's been
Speaker 1: having a hard time organizing an in person meetup. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna call Evan and ask what's going on.
Speaker 2: That is, if you didn't die from embarrassment just now, Nicole,
Speaker 2: embarrass you. I just hear you in the background kind
Speaker 2: of like laugh, moaning or something.
Speaker 5: I'm still breathing.
Speaker 3: You're still breathing.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, here you go, take a deep breath.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna dial Evan's phone, and we're gonna try
Speaker 1: and get you a second date. I just hope that
Speaker 1: another one doesn't bite the dust, but yeah, let's do it. Hello,
Speaker 1: he is a seven?
Speaker 4: Yeah cool?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, Hi Evan. My name is jeff from the
Speaker 1: radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. We're hoping
Speaker 1: to talk with you a little bit about your dating life.
Speaker 4: Uh okay, Well I'm not interested, so, uh, could you
Speaker 4: take me off your list?
Speaker 1: Regardless that No, yeah, it's not us, it's actually somebody
Speaker 1: that you went on a date with who's asked us
Speaker 1: to call you. Her name is Nicole.
Speaker 4: Oh so this is a real call.
Speaker 2: Then, yes, yes, dial one to sign up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so what's going on with this is called a
Speaker 1: second date update? And Nicole reached out to us because
Speaker 1: she told us that you guys went on a virtual
Speaker 1: date together and she's been trying to hang out in person,
Speaker 1: but she's confused why that isn't happening yet.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, to be honest, I don't think an in
Speaker 4: person date is going to happen. So who thank you?
Speaker 1: Oh that's too bad.
Speaker 2: I mean she seems so fun loving and your date
Speaker 2: sounded awesome. She told us that you like put together
Speaker 2: a what would we call it a burrito battle?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had burritos and it was fun. It was
Speaker 4: a fun date, don't get me wrong. But if I
Speaker 4: must get into it, Nicole is a liar.
Speaker 2: WHOA, that's heavy.
Speaker 4: Well what I found out that she liked to me
Speaker 4: about her age?
Speaker 2: Oh oh, dang, bro Like, I mean, is that how
Speaker 2: much a big deal to you? Like?
Speaker 3: Yeah, how much?
Speaker 4: She told me she was twenty nine, but I found
Speaker 4: out that she was actually thirty?
Speaker 3: Wait year are you? Is that a joke?
Speaker 4: No? That's the wretch flank to me, Like, what a
Speaker 4: stupid thing to lie about, especially by one year?
Speaker 3: That's true?
Speaker 1: Who cares?
Speaker 3: It's one year?
Speaker 1: Well what does that mean to you?
Speaker 4: Evan?
Speaker 1: Why is that such a big deal that she's one
Speaker 1: year off?
Speaker 4: Well, she's lying about that. What else could she be
Speaker 4: lying about it?
Speaker 2: Just maybe she made her profile when she was twenty
Speaker 2: nine and she just never updated the eggs it updates,
Speaker 2: it updates.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I get it.
Speaker 1: If you're not concerned about it, Evan, then you should
Speaker 1: have asked her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but this was after our date, and I wasn't
Speaker 4: gonna just text her about that.
Speaker 1: You're just gonna move on. Well, are you okay if
Speaker 1: I asked her that question, because Nicole is actually on
Speaker 1: the line and she's been listening this entire time, and
Speaker 1: I'm happy to do that for you. Oh great, So yeah,
Speaker 1: here she has Nicole. Is it true did you lie
Speaker 1: about your age to Evan?
Speaker 6: I wasn't like lying directly to Evan. It's not that
Speaker 6: big of a deal.
Speaker 5: On my dating profile, I said, yeah, I'm twenty nine.
Speaker 6: It's one year.
Speaker 5: It really bothered you haven't one year firm.
Speaker 4: It's just really weird, Like why why one year? Like
Speaker 4: I see, if you lied by like five years, I
Speaker 4: almost would respect that more.
Speaker 5: I mean year old really honestly, like, okay, wow, I
Speaker 5: would be actually more upset.
Speaker 6: I'fs like I met someone and they were like forty
Speaker 6: into the thirty. That's a big difference.
Speaker 5: This is one year, and I.
Speaker 6: Really feel weird that I actually have to explain this.
Speaker 5: But I was on other dating websites and I have
Speaker 5: found that if you say you're in your twenties, you
Speaker 5: get way more matches.
Speaker 6: So it was just a way to just maybe broad
Speaker 6: in the field and I get to meet more people.
Speaker 2: So you were just trying to optimize your matches by
Speaker 2: going down one year saying in your twenties.
Speaker 1: Evan, what do you think is that a reasonable excuse
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 4: I mean, I buy it, but I feel weird about it.
Speaker 3: How old are you, Evan?
Speaker 4: Thirty one? Oh?
Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be something like I
Speaker 2: don't date women in their thirties because I'm twenty three,
Speaker 2: or something like.
Speaker 1: It's just the more.
Speaker 3: If she would have told you she was thirty, you
Speaker 3: had been cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. It seems like she's gaming the
Speaker 4: system a little bit.
Speaker 3: Isn't that what dating naps are for?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you obviously on your range set that you liked
Speaker 5: twenty year old like people in their twenties. Yeah, you know, Evan,
Speaker 5: I ought to say on your profile you said that
Speaker 5: you were athletic and fit for your build in that question,
Speaker 5: and I don't know, you look a little more average
Speaker 5: to me.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: First of all, I was sitting down for the entirety
Speaker 4: of the thing. Yea, they get look way better standing up.
Speaker 2: Obviously, Nichole's feelings are a little hurt Evan, because it
Speaker 2: just it seems like a pretty superficial reason not to
Speaker 2: call her back. It sounds like if you would have
Speaker 2: just asked her her age, she would have told you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess so, and I accept her reasoning to
Speaker 4: be honest.
Speaker 6: Okay, you know it's okay. Honestly, this was probably good
Speaker 6: because that's.
Speaker 5: Gonna bother you and you're gonna not call me back
Speaker 5: or even talk to me about it.
Speaker 6: It probably is better that we don't see each other again.
Speaker 1: It's spoken like a true thirty year old, right. It
Speaker 1: sounds like he was just getting over it.
Speaker 4: Wait, but now that I've heard your reasoning, like, I'm
Speaker 4: into it, let's not give up on there. It's just
Speaker 4: like that no.
Speaker 5: You called me at The first thing you said about
Speaker 5: me on this call was I'm a liar.
Speaker 4: No thanks, but you did lie.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's not wrong on it. Oh man, this is
Speaker 1: like such a little thing.
Speaker 2: Guys. It's like they're already in their first fight and
Speaker 2: they haven't even met in real life yet.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: She is kind of going towards her midlife though, Brooks So,
Speaker 1: but I'm still willing to offer to send you guys
Speaker 1: out on another date. And Evan, it sounds like up
Speaker 1: to this point you were into it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean maybe I jumped to conclusions too quickly
Speaker 4: and I probably should just fast but I'm into it.
Speaker 4: But if she's get.
Speaker 1: It okay, well, Nicole, he admits that he made a mistake.
Speaker 2: And which is a huge thing right now. Like to
Speaker 2: find a person who could admit they were wrong and
Speaker 2: learn from it like that is a good quality to have.
Speaker 1: So can we meet in the middle here and go
Speaker 1: out just one more time and we'll pay for it?
Speaker 1: Think of the burritos.
Speaker 4: I can prove that build.
Speaker 1: And maybe what would do it is if he's honest
Speaker 1: with you right now and he tells you what he
Speaker 1: really thinks about your bass playing.
Speaker 4: It was pretty solid for someone who that live been
Speaker 4: doing it a month, see, but it was honest.
Speaker 1: It wasn't over the top like glowing review. It wasn't horrible.
Speaker 1: It was like, it's pretty good.
Speaker 4: I would like to hear more.
Speaker 5: Come on, all right, fine, stop yelling.
Speaker 1: Me court into a second date, Nicole, to celebrate you
Speaker 1: want to play a little bit of bass guitar on
Speaker 1: the way out?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I like I'm trying.
Speaker 5: No, maybe not.
Speaker 2: Freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: Making their glorious return to our show. A few months later,
Speaker 1: we have Evan and Nicole once again back to give
Speaker 1: us an update. Welcome back, guys, Yeah, hey every day.
Speaker 2: Okay, you both still sound friendly, which is a good sign.
Speaker 5: I just want to first of all, clear the air.
Speaker 5: A bit after that second date, the infamous second Day aired,
Speaker 5: I got a lot of heat actually from my friends
Speaker 5: and family.
Speaker 2: Who really about lying about being twenty nine on your
Speaker 2: dating profile?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 5: Yes, but you know, when we did the call, I
Speaker 5: didn't know what Evan was going to say. We got
Speaker 5: him on the phone, and yes, he called me a
Speaker 5: liar because I am actually older than what my profile.
Speaker 7: I said, what I said on my profile.
Speaker 6: I panicked.
Speaker 4: You know, it's a lot someone call you a liar
Speaker 4: on the radio. So I went like what he said? Yes,
Speaker 4: I said I was thirty, but the truth is, I'm
Speaker 4: not thirty.
Speaker 2: What the whole thing was based on how it was
Speaker 2: only one year, It didn't really matter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how old are you?
Speaker 6: I am thirty four?
Speaker 2: Oh that's still not that big of a difference, I know, but.
Speaker 1: It is when you say, Okay, you're right, I'm thirty,
Speaker 1: and then you come back down. Next time we're going
Speaker 1: to call her, she's gonna be fifty. Why didn't you
Speaker 1: come clean and just say that to us.
Speaker 6: Well, I was. I was worried that if I know
Speaker 6: admitted that I was actually thirty four, I'd come off even.
Speaker 5: More death right or set or whatever, because he really
Speaker 5: mad at me.
Speaker 1: For being thirty And Evan, how did you take that?
Speaker 4: Not as bad as I did the first time?
Speaker 6: Weirdly, Oh, it was pretty bad.
Speaker 3: He was conditioned exactly an age at this point.
Speaker 4: Uh huh. Well she opened with it, which I appreciated,
Speaker 4: and uh, I get it. Like she was on the radio,
Speaker 4: there was a lot of pressure, so I totally understood
Speaker 4: why she did what she did.
Speaker 3: Are you dating an older woman then? Right now?
Speaker 4: I am dating a cougar right now? Oh my god.
Speaker 1: It's nice when one of these actually turns out. We congratulations, guys,
Speaker 1: Thank you, and remember you can always email the show.
Speaker 1: We'll call the person who wasn't calling you back. It's
Speaker 1: Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 6: Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
