Speaker 1: Second d day. You know, when you think of the
Speaker 1: most fun and romantic times to be dating, Okay, I
Speaker 1: think there's a few eras that definitely stand out, you know,
Speaker 1: like the nineteen fifties with drive in movies and sockhops
Speaker 1: milkshake counters. What were those balls? Were you sat and
Speaker 1: you each had a straw? Yeah, split in a shake?
Speaker 1: Shake shack. No, that's good either. But there's also the
Speaker 1: roar in twenties too, with flapper girls and speakeasies. It
Speaker 1: was always a party. But probably the most romantic era
Speaker 1: was the Middle Ages. What oh yeah? Just taking that
Speaker 1: special lady to a book burning, going on a moonlit
Speaker 1: witch hunt, and while the smell of rotting flesh just
Speaker 1: waffs through the town and then you lock lips as
Speaker 1: the crowd chance burner that is? That was dark? Wow?
Speaker 1: Who are we going to decapitate tonight? It gets me
Speaker 1: in the mood every time. I'm not the only one,
Speaker 1: because there's another guy out there who knows just how
Speaker 1: romantic the Renaissance was. His name is Darren. He's on
Speaker 1: the phone with us right now for a second date. Up.
Speaker 1: What's up Darren? Hey? Everybody, how's it going? Yeah? I'm guessing.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing I'm gonna go out a limb here that
Speaker 1: we're leading to your renfair type of guy. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm that type of guy, but
Speaker 1: I did actually go to a Renaissance fair for sure,
Speaker 1: and I had a blab. I've been to a few.
Speaker 1: They're actually really fun. All people ever tell me about
Speaker 1: him is the Turkey Lakes or whatever? Y'all. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the name of the fair maiden that you took
Speaker 1: to the Renaissance Fair? It was on a blind date.
Speaker 1: My buddy Troy was really digging on this girl, and
Speaker 1: and so he asked me to be a wing man
Speaker 1: for him. And oh, so it's like a group of
Speaker 1: you that win. Yeah, there were four of us, and
Speaker 1: so I went and my you know, I was with Melissa,
Speaker 1: And okay, did you guys dress up for this? I mean,
Speaker 1: were you in full medieval garb? Not full medieval guard
Speaker 1: I don't have full medieval garb. But m Troy bought us.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was just he was just
Speaker 1: being nice and probably showing off a little bit. But
Speaker 1: right when you enter you can buy a few bits
Speaker 1: and pieces, and he bought us a hat and like
Speaker 1: bought me a scarf with this arm guard. So we
Speaker 1: you know, we kind of looked the part for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what kind of date activities do you do at a
Speaker 1: Renaissance fair? Like do they have couple's blood letting? No?
Speaker 1: What what do you do that's romantic? There? I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to think, Um no, we I mean mostly like
Speaker 1: the most entertaining part at the beginning was just sort
Speaker 1: of taking in all the people, just like watching all
Speaker 1: the folks who did take it really seriously. I was
Speaker 1: so surprised. Is that like the number of folks who
Speaker 1: I mean they had like an entire separate wardrobe or
Speaker 1: maybe they walk around like this out in the world
Speaker 1: and I just never seed them. I feel like we're
Speaker 1: hearing a lot about the Renaissance Fair and not so
Speaker 1: much about Melissa. Like, what did you feel like it's
Speaker 1: a blind date? You didn't know anything going in? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean we were having a blast, Like I felt
Speaker 1: like we were just laughing and having fun. It was
Speaker 1: just really easy. Was there chemistry? I mean, was there
Speaker 1: like a romance? Oh? Like there was like yeah, you
Speaker 1: know it by the end of it. Before we went
Speaker 1: to the jousting match. We were like, you know, we
Speaker 1: will be walking and kind of like rubbing elbows and
Speaker 1: you know, like we were getting closer, and was practically said, yeah,
Speaker 1: she showed her elbows. What she let me see her elbow? Right? Okay,
Speaker 1: that's good though. So were there any lowlights of the renaissance? Fair? Though?
Speaker 1: I mean, she did confide that she was a volleyball
Speaker 1: player in college. Is a confession? What do you mean confide? Well,
Speaker 1: we watched the jousting where that you know, they were
Speaker 1: like knights on horses and it was tons of fun.
Speaker 1: Then they opened up this sort of participant jousting section
Speaker 1: where you had to stand on a log and you
Speaker 1: sort of like poked each other with these foam tip lances.
Speaker 1: And okay, so we jumped on the balanced log and
Speaker 1: started grooping with each other with these lances, and she
Speaker 1: throttled me. She like landed me a shit like it
Speaker 1: glanced off my shoulder and hit me in the neck
Speaker 1: and I went down. Oh no, did she apologize? She?
Speaker 1: I mean she was laughing. I was laughing. His date
Speaker 1: was laughing. I just sort of played it off like
Speaker 1: everything was cool. But and I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was the need or the grog or whatever. But I
Speaker 1: jumped back on that log and I went after it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I I mean I just wanted to. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to let her know that, yes, you're an athlete,
Speaker 1: but you know I can play this game too. I've
Speaker 1: been working with a lance for years, so I'm going
Speaker 1: to show you whose boss that fun. I was having
Speaker 1: a good time, I am. I was a little worried,
Speaker 1: and I am a little worried that I might have
Speaker 1: taken that just a little too far. I'm a man.
Speaker 1: I can't get beat by a woman. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: kind of like the vibe. It's in keeping with the
Speaker 1: Renaissance theme. Yeah, you're just a character that's not showing
Speaker 1: who you really are, right. But I think that we
Speaker 1: had enough of a great time that I could put
Speaker 1: it back together, and we like laughed and giggled almost
Speaker 1: the whole time. It was really, did the Renaissance fair
Speaker 1: end between you two? Was there a kiss or a hug?
Speaker 1: You know, there wasn't a kiss or a hug because
Speaker 1: we were with you know, we were in the sort
Speaker 1: of duo date moment. But we definitely left. I definitely
Speaker 1: left showing interest and I asked for her number, and
Speaker 1: she seems very eager to give it another run. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's see what she has to say. We're gonna play
Speaker 1: a song, we'll come back, we'll call the fair maid
Speaker 1: in Melissa for you, and we'll try and get you
Speaker 1: your second date update. All right, Darren, I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Okay, hold on se if you're just tuning
Speaker 1: in for the second date update, We've got Darren on
Speaker 1: the phone. He recently wingmanned for his buddy at a
Speaker 1: Renaissance fair and his blind date there was a woman
Speaker 1: named Melissa. He says they had a great time together
Speaker 1: checking out the medieval merch drinking mead, but things got
Speaker 1: a little weird when they did some playful jousting using
Speaker 1: foam lances because Darren lost to Melissa in the first round,
Speaker 1: got knocked off his perch, so he was embarrassed and
Speaker 1: came back went full Sir Galahad on his date. What's
Speaker 1: that famous night from from the Renaissance time? Okay, block
Speaker 1: about Sir Arthur. That's what I'm talking about, Merlin baby. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: Darren knows who Sir Galahad was, and he channeled that
Speaker 1: and you know, basically beat the crap out Melissa with
Speaker 1: the foam lance. So he's worried maybe he got a
Speaker 1: little too intense in the moment and that could be
Speaker 1: the reason that she's been blowing him off. Is that right, Darren?
Speaker 1: That is right? Yeah, well liked it all. He's still
Speaker 1: laughing thinking about the memory of knocking her to the ground. Well,
Speaker 1: and it was like, it sounds like you're kind of
Speaker 1: intimidated that she was a collegiate athlete to me, I mean,
Speaker 1: Alexis was a collegiate athlete on our show. I mean
Speaker 1: get really competitive with you because they knew you'd I mean,
Speaker 1: if I was to get beat by a guy, though,
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't stop till I can try to beat him.
Speaker 1: So I think you have a good chance of getting
Speaker 1: her back. Good. Okay, Well, let's give her a call
Speaker 1: and find out what the reason is. Here we go, Hello, Hi,
Speaker 1: is this Melissa? Yeah, I'm Melissa. My name is Jeffrey
Speaker 1: from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 1: Do you have a second to talk with us? Um?
Speaker 1: I guess um, this is strange. Sorry, I know it's
Speaker 1: a little bit weird, but I'm here with my co
Speaker 1: host Brook and Jose Alexis is here too. Hi Melissa, Hi, um,
Speaker 1: what is this about? This is about a segment that
Speaker 1: we do called the second Date Update. It's where if
Speaker 1: you go out with someone and afterwards, if they're not
Speaker 1: calling you back, you can email our show and we'll
Speaker 1: reach out to your date for you to try and
Speaker 1: figure out the reason why they're ghosting. Oh okay, does
Speaker 1: that make sense? I mean, yeah, it makes sense. It doesn't.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know who will be calling
Speaker 1: you about me. Okay, Well, the guy that emailed us.
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't recognize him in his normal clothes, but
Speaker 1: maybe he's wearing his night costume. Oh okay, it sounds familiar. Okay,
Speaker 1: it still sounds crazy. But yeah, talking about Darren m
Speaker 1: that you have fair with Yes, we did, we did that.
Speaker 1: The reason that Darren reached out to us is because
Speaker 1: he says he had a great time hanging out with you,
Speaker 1: but afterwards you've been blowing him off and he's not
Speaker 1: quite sure why. Well, first of all, I think it's
Speaker 1: crazy that he's reaching out. They get in touch with me,
Speaker 1: That is beyond beyond. But I'm gonna you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go along with this and say, yes, we
Speaker 1: had a good time. It was great. Well, if you
Speaker 1: had a good time, how come you're not calling him back? Then?
Speaker 1: Is it because he got a little too competitive when
Speaker 1: he was jousting you? I mean he told us that
Speaker 1: you took him down and his little male ego got her,
Speaker 1: and so he got up and maybe got a little
Speaker 1: too competitive. Yes, he did. He didn't get competitive, and
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm competitive too, so I definitely
Speaker 1: understand the spirit of retaliation, okay, and I also understand
Speaker 1: how fragile the male ego is. So you know, I
Speaker 1: let him. I let him win a couple you know
Speaker 1: after that, you know, oh you let him more than yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. It was that a turn off? Was that? Like? Why,
Speaker 1: I mean, why you don't like? Oh, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: used to that. I'm you know, I'm a woman, so
Speaker 1: I'm used to right. So it wasn't really, It wasn't terrible.
Speaker 1: We laughed a lot. It was cool, but we were
Speaker 1: like walking around and stuff, and he said something to
Speaker 1: me that that threw me off. Okay, time, I didn't
Speaker 1: really know, so I said to him that I had
Speaker 1: never been to a run of Talk Festival, which I
Speaker 1: hadn't said that he had never been to a run
Speaker 1: of talk festival, which I didn't front un usual because
Speaker 1: it's not like people go all the time. I guess
Speaker 1: I don't know. He said that he hadn't been to
Speaker 1: that type of festival, but he had been to a
Speaker 1: fairy festival. A fairy festival like elves and fairies. Is
Speaker 1: that what you mean? No, like fairy like like like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's yet not the same. Oh my gosh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Fairies were you dressed up in the big animal costumes
Speaker 1: and they say it's not necessarily sexual thing? But you
Speaker 1: the romance? Well okay, So I didn't know what that was.
Speaker 1: But I was just like, you know, okay, I was
Speaker 1: listening to take down because I liked the Google thing.
Speaker 1: So when I've got look, I looked him too. It
Speaker 1: like what kind of festival? They're thinking like, well, maybe
Speaker 1: we could do that the next time, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I looked you know, so I looked it up
Speaker 1: and I was like whoa, okay, yeah, And so I
Speaker 1: guess I don't need to tell y'all you said it's
Speaker 1: like a festival. First, I think they call conventions. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know that they always are though, because I
Speaker 1: had a girlfriend's day in a hotel once. It had
Speaker 1: a furry convention going on. No, but there was like
Speaker 1: schedules for like naptime in the lobby where they would
Speaker 1: all go cuddle together. And she said when you would
Speaker 1: get in the elevator with them, they would all pack
Speaker 1: in together because they liked to be really close and
Speaker 1: tight together. I think it really wasn't really your friend,
Speaker 1: this weird friend. And I just haven't know all the
Speaker 1: details about the convention from what she told me. Obviously
Speaker 1: I didn't. I think it's fascinating, okay, But for you, Melissa,
Speaker 1: it's not always sexual, That's what I'm saying. But for you, Melissa,
Speaker 1: whatever was quite sexual, and it was quite freaky and
Speaker 1: a little bit you're freaking from me, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, if we go out, I don't want to
Speaker 1: him try to, you know, put me in some body.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be a little panda bear. No.
Speaker 1: I doesn't want us to escalate into anything that I
Speaker 1: was not comfortable with. So I just decided that I
Speaker 1: wasn't called Carlin Bay Well, I'm sorry. I know that
Speaker 1: you don't like escalating things, but I have to escalate
Speaker 1: this conversation just a little bit. And let you know,
Speaker 1: Darren has actually been on the other line listening and
Speaker 1: he heard everything that she said. Why would I set
Speaker 1: me up? I'm sorry? He was desperate, Darren, take off
Speaker 1: your giant squirrel head. Are you still there? Oh my gosh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I am still here. I am. Did you hear what
Speaker 1: Billissa said? Why she's freaked out? I did? I'm I'm like,
Speaker 1: I actually forgot that I even brought that up. It
Speaker 1: was not even a thing at me. It was just
Speaker 1: like a silly little you know, wingman date kind of
Speaker 1: experienced similar to this, like renfair thing wingmanned at a
Speaker 1: furry convention too fine. It was not pitched to me
Speaker 1: as a furry festival. It was pitched to me as
Speaker 1: like an animal costume thing. I mean, honestly, like, I
Speaker 1: was curious and there were some really interesting behaviors going on,
Speaker 1: and it was just sort of a fly on the wall, bliss.
Speaker 1: Are you listening to him? I mean, I think it
Speaker 1: sounds like he went to this thing once he wanted
Speaker 1: to see what it's about, check it out. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna put you in a puppy
Speaker 1: costume many times soon. Yeah, I could have overreact. You know,
Speaker 1: google what had been doing that though? It's but Darren,
Speaker 1: did you participate? I know you were a wing man,
Speaker 1: but did you participate in any of the extracurriculum? Oh
Speaker 1: my god, the adult stuff. Yeah. I get what you're asking, Melissa,
Speaker 1: and I'm so embarrassed that I have to answer this.
Speaker 1: But no, no, I did not participate. I watched some
Speaker 1: interesting stuff go on, but I did not do any
Speaker 1: of it. Okay, didn't I think that's cool, Melissa. Don't
Speaker 1: you think just watching people do weird stuff is maybe worse?
Speaker 1: Just participate, guys, I don't. Okay, Okay, like a squirrel
Speaker 1: people watch it is okay, But you know that's different.
Speaker 1: Though at least it didn't wing men at Browny. Con'd
Speaker 1: be a different story. Maybe I still do have him
Speaker 1: with that. Okay, I don't even know what that is?
Speaker 1: What does cost? Don't google anything anymore? You know, I
Speaker 1: can't believe it. I'm you all, let me know that
Speaker 1: I'm a square. This is terrible. We'll hold on, maybe
Speaker 1: we maybe we can round you out a little bit.
Speaker 1: Because we want to offer to send you on another
Speaker 1: date with Darren and we'll pay for it. Doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be to any convention, maybe just a normal dinner
Speaker 1: date that might be a better like recent. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can start by wearing a wig and then we'll build
Speaker 1: up to like more and more of a costume to Oh,
Speaker 1: Darren loves it as long as he wins. One yo. Congratulations, Darren,
Speaker 1: you got your second date. We did it. Thank you, guys.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. Melissa, you won't be disappointed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you won't be disappointed until he takes off the giraffe costume.
