Speaker 1: Rooking Jewels Second Date Update Today, a listener named Patrick
Speaker 1: is on the phone to do a second date update.
Speaker 1: He sent us an email that said he doesn't go
Speaker 1: out with a lot of girls, so he's really hoping
Speaker 1: that he can get another date already with Vicky. I
Speaker 1: guess that's the girl that he went out with, or
Speaker 1: maybe it's just somebody else, but that's the name he
Speaker 1: mentioned an email. Patrick, How you doing, man, I'm doing good.
Speaker 1: How are you guys? Pretty good? It sounds like we're
Speaker 1: doing better than you are. Thanks. Problem. I didn't mean
Speaker 1: to just put you in It got right away there.
Speaker 1: I think you would already punched him, and then you
Speaker 1: punched him again with that second one. Welcome to the show, Patrick,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Yeah, no problem. So your email
Speaker 1: said that you're really excited about this girl because you
Speaker 1: don't go out on a lot of dates. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: I go on a date, it's just they're few and
Speaker 1: fire between. Has been three in the past couple of years.
Speaker 1: Oh no, three in the past couple of years is
Speaker 1: not a bad ratio. Hey, come on that maybe by
Speaker 1: your voice, right, Patrick, you're just really picky? Is that
Speaker 1: it not so much that I'm Picky. I'll pretty much
Speaker 1: go out with anyone. It's just I'm not very good
Speaker 1: at conversations. Oh all right, so you clam up a
Speaker 1: little bit when it comes to going on dates. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just a little bit. Well, if you have trouble talking
Speaker 1: to people, then how did the conversation go on your date?
Speaker 1: It actually was surprisingly well. Um. I yeah, I have
Speaker 1: an icebreaker that I bring with me and I use
Speaker 1: it on the state with Hicky. That you bring with you.
Speaker 1: You're not you're not bringing an ice pick on dates?
Speaker 1: That could be scary. Well, no, it's not an actual icebreaker.
Speaker 1: It doesn't break ice What I did was I set
Speaker 1: up just you know, casual restaurant dates, and I brought
Speaker 1: my potted plant. You what I said, I brought my
Speaker 1: potted plant with me, like an actual indoor plant you
Speaker 1: brought with you? Yeah, just like a succulent you know.
Speaker 1: So it's a small plant. Yeah, and just PLoP it
Speaker 1: down there on the table and it's it's the only
Speaker 1: table that has the plant on it, and girls always
Speaker 1: ask about it. Okay, do you always bring a potted
Speaker 1: plant with you on your dates? Yeah? I've actually found
Speaker 1: for the past three that it's worked really really well, no,
Speaker 1: it has it, Patrick, because you've all had three dates
Speaker 1: in a couple of years and you're on the phone
Speaker 1: with us, right, But every date that I brought the
Speaker 1: plant on, the girl laughs and that takes the focus
Speaker 1: away from me. So it gets sort of my anxiety
Speaker 1: about the date and it just lets us kind of,
Speaker 1: as I said, four break the guys. I will say,
Speaker 1: at first I was pretty judgy, But would you paint
Speaker 1: it like that? The plant sounds like a good idea. Yea,
Speaker 1: it really works. You know, we talk about watering it,
Speaker 1: you know, playing music to the plant, ruining it, and
Speaker 1: like how the greenness in the room just brings out
Speaker 1: a happier mood for people. We end up talking about
Speaker 1: the plant for the entire date. Okay, So it's so
Speaker 1: like you bring your own wingman, except your wingman is
Speaker 1: a plant. Oh good analogy. Yeah, you could say it's
Speaker 1: like a wingman, but I think it's much better than
Speaker 1: a wingman because it allows me then to control the
Speaker 1: conversation and there's no flocking going on from the plant.
Speaker 1: And will you wait, though they're going to develop someday
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be able to steal your girl, you
Speaker 1: never know, I hope that. I mean, the plant sounds
Speaker 1: great in the initial like break the ice moment, but
Speaker 1: when you say that you talked about it the entire time.
Speaker 1: Was she able to learn about who you were as well? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so like, as we're talking about plants and plant facts,
Speaker 1: I get to put in a little bits of information
Speaker 1: about myself in there, and you know, as it relates
Speaker 1: to the conversation, that's when I can't talk about myself.
Speaker 1: So you're like, you know who else loves water? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this guy can't get enough, I mean more or less? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, how did it work then? This? So the date,
Speaker 1: you guys obviously had a conversation a lot about the plant.
Speaker 1: But what happened at the end of the date, Well,
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I decided just you know,
Speaker 1: I kept the whole plant thing going, and I ordered
Speaker 1: an uber and I put the plant in initially as
Speaker 1: a joke, and like chucked it in, put a seatbelt
Speaker 1: on it, whispered, whispered to the plant um and then
Speaker 1: I said, oh, well, times the plant to go home.
Speaker 1: And she left. She thought it was funny. It's funny,
Speaker 1: But then I was like, oh, it's the plant goes
Speaker 1: I have to go too, so and that's kind of
Speaker 1: how I wrapped it up, all right, did she seemed
Speaker 1: like she wanted to hang out longer without the plant?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know it was it was really
Speaker 1: difficult to read her towards the end. But she didn't
Speaker 1: give me a hug. So that was a big thumbs
Speaker 1: up there. She gave you a hug. Well, what I'm
Speaker 1: thinking is she might not be calling you back because
Speaker 1: maybe she was hoping you would have made that joke
Speaker 1: about the plant going home and you two could have
Speaker 1: still hung out the rest of the night. But instead
Speaker 1: you were like, yeah, I'm going to get out of
Speaker 1: here too, and then left. I hope that's not the case. Like,
Speaker 1: if that's so, like, then I guess the plant did
Speaker 1: it end? It's fu Yeah, it sounds like it. That
Speaker 1: plan's not gonna get water for a week. And how
Speaker 1: long has it been since you heard from her? Well,
Speaker 1: I was texting her last week. Um, she'll respond if
Speaker 1: I say like, Hi, how are you what's your day going?
Speaker 1: If I ask her on another date, she doesn't respond,
Speaker 1: all right, that's a bad sign. Yeah, all right, Well
Speaker 1: we'll play a song, come back, call her and get
Speaker 1: your second day update. All right, great sounds great. Thank
Speaker 1: you brooking jubil in the morning. We're right in the
Speaker 1: middle of a second date updating if you're just joining us.
Speaker 1: Patrick is on the phone, and I'm really surprised that
Speaker 1: Patrick is not getting a call back from the girl
Speaker 1: he went out with. Her name is Vicky, because on
Speaker 1: his first date, he gave her the old green thumb. Right,
Speaker 1: what girl can resist? All you perverts out there that
Speaker 1: are thinking about what the green thumb could be, You're
Speaker 1: exactly right. He gave her a plan. Well, he didn't
Speaker 1: actually give it to her. He brought a plant on
Speaker 1: his first date because Patrick says that he's not the
Speaker 1: best conversationalist when it comes to the ladies, and he
Speaker 1: gets a little nervous, so he brings a plant along
Speaker 1: with him as an icebreaker and they can start talking
Speaker 1: about the plant and hopefully it leads to other things. Patrick,
Speaker 1: you are a sweet underdog in this story, and I
Speaker 1: really really hope that there's a reasonable explanation for her
Speaker 1: not calling you back. Well, I also thank you, thank
Speaker 1: you for one person being on my side. I'm on
Speaker 1: your side completely, man. I really want you to get
Speaker 1: another day with her. Good. Well, I'm gonna dial her
Speaker 1: phone number right now and see if we can figure
Speaker 1: out why she's not calling you back. Okay, super, here
Speaker 1: we go. Hello him, I speak the Vickie. Please? This
Speaker 1: is she who's speaking? This is Jewil from Brook and
Speaker 1: Jewil in the Morning. How are you? I'm sorry? Who
Speaker 1: is it? Bowl from Brook and jew Bolt in the Morning.
Speaker 1: Does that mean anything to you? Like the radio? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Kind of like it? Or like it? Yeah? Have you
Speaker 1: heard of our show before? Yeah? All right, I'm really
Speaker 1: confused right now. Well let me help you out. We
Speaker 1: recently got an email from one of our listeners and
Speaker 1: it was about you whoa appropriate response. You went out
Speaker 1: on a date with a dude named Patrick a little
Speaker 1: while ago. Oh gosh, come on, Patrick the plant guy
Speaker 1: I email? Okay, Well, Patrick emailed us because he said
Speaker 1: he really enjoyed your date, but now you're not calling
Speaker 1: him back, so he thought maybe we could get you
Speaker 1: on the phone and find out what went wrong. Wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that you just have like a reasonable excuse,
Speaker 1: like you've been out of town for work. Patrick was
Speaker 1: a great guy. You're ready to give him another shot?
Speaker 1: Not quite really? So what do you think of Patrick.
Speaker 1: He was really nice. I mean, he's pretty awkward, but
Speaker 1: he means well yeah does they're positive so nice overall though? Yeah? Sure, yeah.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you what he told us about your
Speaker 1: day and then you see if you agree please? Okay.
Speaker 1: So he said that when you guys went out, he
Speaker 1: took a plant along with him, and he does that
Speaker 1: so he can have an icebreaker or start a conversation.
Speaker 1: He said that it made you laugh, Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: who wouldn't laugh at that situation? I was laughing, but
Speaker 1: I think it was for a different reason than he thought.
Speaker 1: What do you think you were laughing at him and
Speaker 1: not with him? Well, you're not gonna believe this, but
Speaker 1: this is not the first time this year that I
Speaker 1: go out with a dude who brings a plant. What
Speaker 1: you've gone out with a plant guy before? Patrick? The
Speaker 1: plant guys. I know, I know, it's totally unbelievable, but
Speaker 1: it's true. Where are you meeting these men and like
Speaker 1: an arboretum or shopping or a greenhouse? No. I was
Speaker 1: completely shocked, and then I realized what was going on?
Speaker 1: Why are you you You must be putting some sort
Speaker 1: of bring a plant on the date vibe out. I
Speaker 1: don't know what was what was going on. So after
Speaker 1: the first time that happened to me, I was really
Speaker 1: weird at out and then I thought, well, that guy's
Speaker 1: just a creep. I didn't think about it any further.
Speaker 1: But then after Patrick did it too, I was like
Speaker 1: something going on. I got to figure it out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's this horrible trend of dudes taking plants on dates?
Speaker 1: So after I went out with Patrick, I got home
Speaker 1: and I googled it, and sure enough I found it
Speaker 1: on a dating blog. I guess it's the way for
Speaker 1: guys to break the ice when they're out with a girl,
Speaker 1: like a self help type thing. Yeah. I mean this
Speaker 1: is for guys who really have trouble talking to women,
Speaker 1: who get like sweaty hands, and I guess it's supposed
Speaker 1: to help. So now there's a new trend among guys
Speaker 1: that I haven't heard of yet, bringing plants with you
Speaker 1: so that you can talk to your day. Yeah. He
Speaker 1: even used some of the suggested moves that I read,
Speaker 1: so I think that's when I was like, Okay, no,
Speaker 1: what are the suggested way You have to tell me
Speaker 1: what these suggested moves are. Well, one of them that
Speaker 1: I read was to order a beer for the plant
Speaker 1: and then pour it in, and he's sure enough he did,
Speaker 1: so he's stealing all of his moves from this dating block.
Speaker 1: I mean, it just wasn't original, and I wanted them
Speaker 1: to be himself and you run the risk of getting
Speaker 1: that plant hammered. And we know how mauthie they can
Speaker 1: be when they're drunk pansy too. Overall, I was just
Speaker 1: kind of disappointing because I want to get to know
Speaker 1: someone for who they are and not someone who's just
Speaker 1: putting on an act. Yeah, you've got to give some credit.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like an act to get you in bed.
Speaker 1: It was an act to break his own weird anxiety stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you know that he don't want
Speaker 1: to get me in bed with the plan? Well at
Speaker 1: that he took with him, it was that means business wing.
Speaker 1: I just know. It was really weird. Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: really weird. It's weird that you went out with two
Speaker 1: guys lucky me. Yeah, and it's even weirder that one
Speaker 1: of those guys is actually on the phone listening and
Speaker 1: wants to talk to you. And that guy is Patrick.
Speaker 1: No he's not, Yes, he is hey, Vicky. Oh no,
Speaker 1: come on, so you figured me out? Huh? Are you sure? Dad?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know why I did it. Just anxiety
Speaker 1: gets to me, especially being on a date with someone
Speaker 1: as beautiful as yourself. Oh that's nice, that's really nice.
Speaker 1: But I just wish you could have been more genuine
Speaker 1: instead of following instructions from a blog. Well, as a
Speaker 1: matter of fact, the blog did say to use a
Speaker 1: different type of plant, and I just felt with the one.
Speaker 1: But I felt comfortable with the comfortable plant. So he
Speaker 1: put his own spin on it, Vicky, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: not the type of plants, it's just the plant. See
Speaker 1: what's going on here where it's still talking about the plant.
Speaker 1: Ricky's just like the day. Oh you are smooth, right,
Speaker 1: And that was the problem that I wanted to get
Speaker 1: to know you, not the plant, right, And getting to
Speaker 1: know me takes a while. And you know, a complex person.
Speaker 1: You guys are laughing, But I'm a complex person and
Speaker 1: I do enjoy plants. I have plenty of plants around
Speaker 1: my house, and it's you know what. It eases my anxiety,
Speaker 1: It eases my tensions and provides fresh air from my home.
Speaker 1: There you go, look at that, Hey, Vicky, Patrick is
Speaker 1: a complex person. Would you like to go out with
Speaker 1: him again for a second date and get to explore
Speaker 1: all of his complexities? We will pay for it. We'll
Speaker 1: pay for a second date. I feel like you should
Speaker 1: really give him a second chance. Like he understands that
Speaker 1: you were uncomfortable with the plant. You want to see
Speaker 1: who he is. I don't know. I just feel like
Speaker 1: if Patrick talked to me about him or I instead
Speaker 1: of the planned then maybe that would be. Well, Vicky,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump in here because I hear you and
Speaker 1: you want to You want to converse. So something you
Speaker 1: didn't learn about me on the date is that I'm
Speaker 1: actually a pro yo YOA. Wow, it's almost like a celebrity.
Speaker 1: Is that for real? Patrick? Yeah, I've been doing it
Speaker 1: for over sixteen years now, and I've got tricks that
Speaker 1: I do myself but nobody else does. There you go, Vicky,
Speaker 1: that's something interesting. A pro yoyoer. That's just not really
Speaker 1: a big turn on for me. Why are you talking
Speaker 1: about walk the dog? Hello? Oh, walking the dog is
Speaker 1: old school. My tricks are so much better. Come on, Vicky,
Speaker 1: A pro yo yoer who needs a plant in order
Speaker 1: to start a conversation. You're telling me that you're not
Speaker 1: turned on because I've got to take a shower. You
Speaker 1: know what they say about a man who can handle
Speaker 1: yo yo, Vicky, and I don't. Actually I feel like
Speaker 1: if this then what else? What other weird thing is
Speaker 1: gonna pop up? Vicky? One other things that you need
Speaker 1: to know about me is that I really genuinely like you.
Speaker 1: Really do. I promise it's not a lie. I don't
Speaker 1: think I can do it. Oh man, that was so heartfelt.
Speaker 1: Do you give up? Patrick? Second happened? You've tried your best? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, that was easy Patrick. Time to move on,
Speaker 1: I guess. Vicky, thank you very much for your time.
Speaker 1: At least you have a cool story to tell about
Speaker 1: your date. Patrick. Next time, don't give up the fight
Speaker 1: so quick, man, Okay, work in progress in the morning
Speaker 1: text in at seven eight five nine two It says, honestly,
Speaker 1: I think it's less weird that he thought to bring
Speaker 1: a plant on his date because he found it on
Speaker 1: a dating website. I just thought he had an obsession
Speaker 1: with plants, so I would have gone out with him
Speaker 1: after I found that out. Talking about today's second date update,
Speaker 1: that was taped twelve Brooke was still here. Jackie is
Speaker 1: in studio filling in while Brooks out on maternity leave.
Speaker 1: But Patrick wanted to call a girl named Vicky who
Speaker 1: wasn't calling him back after their date. The reason that
Speaker 1: she wasn't calling him back was because, well, it wasn't
Speaker 1: because he brought a plant on the date. So he
Speaker 1: brought a plant on the date as a conversation starter,
Speaker 1: and he spent the whole time talking about the plant,
Speaker 1: and he thought that's why she wasn't calling back. But
Speaker 1: she had actually had that happen to her before, because
Speaker 1: apparently it's on some dating website and dudes have been
Speaker 1: bringing plants on dates as conversation starters. So that was
Speaker 1: wasn't the weirdest part because this is the fact that
Speaker 1: he was like awkward and couldn't have a conversation. You
Speaker 1: just kind of talked about the plant the whole time,
Speaker 1: and she does really soothing too. It kind of made
Speaker 1: me I would have fallen asleep, I think on the day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she thought maybe he didn't have a lot to offer
Speaker 1: other than just being awkward, but he did say that
Speaker 1: he is a yo yo player, yo yo professional yo
Speaker 1: yo right yoyo players find out the right word. I
Speaker 1: probably offended a lot of yo yo ers out there,
Speaker 1: but like a pro yo yo or so, you guys
Speaker 1: get what it's like to be well you're saying, I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess you guys do get what it's like to
Speaker 1: be saying. It's horrible. It is horrible to be single
Speaker 1: with these kind of people. Up, this is what you get.
Speaker 1: This is your dating pool that's left yo yo people.
Speaker 1: And remember, if you want to do a second day update,
Speaker 1: all you have to do is email the show and
Speaker 1: we will call the person who didn't call you back.
Speaker 1: Ju both
