Speaker 1: Second date of today, we got an email from one
Speaker 1: of our listeners name Michelle. She says her date was
Speaker 1: going pretty normal until it ended extremely weird, and now
Speaker 1: she doesn't know what to think. She didn't get into
Speaker 1: specifically what was weird about the ending, but I'm assuming
Speaker 1: probably towards the end of the night the conversation went
Speaker 1: to the Mount owen Moa. What what did you just say?
Speaker 1: That's a big flightless bird that once roam New Zealand.
Speaker 1: At least that's where my mind goes when I'm on
Speaker 1: a weird date, the now owen Moa. Is that what
Speaker 1: happened Michelle? Talking about birds? No, not birds exactly, but
Speaker 1: Jeffrey is so obsessed with birds, like everything, not just
Speaker 1: any bird. It's the Mount o Moa. It's just all awkward.
Speaker 1: You got to give it credit. Okay, Sorry, Michelle, but
Speaker 1: we all learned something just now, So that's good. Was
Speaker 1: your date weirder and ending than that was? It was
Speaker 1: definitely strange and I'm not really sure what happened. Well,
Speaker 1: before we get to what was weird, what's the guy's name?
Speaker 1: His name is Dylan? Okay, and where'd you meet Dylan?
Speaker 1: I meant him on a dating app. What stood out
Speaker 1: about him? He seemed really fit. Yeah, like seemed like
Speaker 1: he was like an active guy and like you know,
Speaker 1: in like good shape, not like beefy or anything. But
Speaker 1: you say that in Jose's just really jealous that I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with your date. So, I
Speaker 1: mean it's kind of important because you're attracted off people's
Speaker 1: look right away, you know, the only thing that I
Speaker 1: also noticed that I was attracted to other than his apps,
Speaker 1: which we're we're looking at. He was texting like really
Speaker 1: funny and he said, oh, you know, this is where
Speaker 1: I'm going to drop a corny line, and then he
Speaker 1: sent me a bunch of corn emoji. So what did
Speaker 1: you guys end up doing on your date? Um, we
Speaker 1: just met at like a local casual bar just to
Speaker 1: like talk over a beer had protein powder in it.
Speaker 1: So you guys are both the whole time. No, not
Speaker 1: that right. So how did it go? Oh, it was
Speaker 1: just kind of a normal date. You know, we're just
Speaker 1: hanging out talking about normal stuff, Okay, And I mean
Speaker 1: during it, because you can always tell whether or not
Speaker 1: you even want to go out with this person again,
Speaker 1: how are you feeling? Yeah, I mean He seemed like
Speaker 1: a really nice guy. It seemed like we had some
Speaker 1: stuff in common. I like rock climbing, like going to
Speaker 1: the bouldering gym, and he had also done some of that,
Speaker 1: so we were bonding over that and that was really cool.
Speaker 1: So right, Yeah, I mean, I guess I was interested
Speaker 1: in him for sure. So when did the date get weird?
Speaker 1: So we were just sitting there talking and hanging out,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, he looked at his
Speaker 1: watch and he made this weird face and then so
Speaker 1: that he had to go, that he forgot he had
Speaker 1: something important to do, and he's so sorry, and then
Speaker 1: just like got up and left. Did he have a
Speaker 1: smart watch where he was reading text messages on his watch? No, No,
Speaker 1: that would make sense. He just had like a regular
Speaker 1: old watch. It's like, oh, this is the time I'm
Speaker 1: to turn into a pumpkin. I must rush exactly, Like,
Speaker 1: are you awareabole or what's happening here? That's weird that
Speaker 1: he would schedule something in the middle of a date too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't even know if he had something actually scheduled.
Speaker 1: He didn't really explain or say anything. And we hadn't
Speaker 1: even hung out an hour you know, so none of
Speaker 1: this made sense. So did you? I mean, do you
Speaker 1: feel like it was something about you that all of
Speaker 1: a sudden he was repulsed by and he had to
Speaker 1: run from the bar? Oh? Yeah, that's immediately where Brooks's
Speaker 1: mind goes that there's clearly something wrong with you. Michelle. No,
Speaker 1: we were vibing, so I don't I don't think so.
Speaker 1: The only thing that came to my mind was that
Speaker 1: he had another date. Oh that he like double booked himself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe at Dude with chiseled abs. Yeah, that's what happened. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not bitter over here at all. Don't worry go
Speaker 1: with the chubby guy. He would never ditch it night exactly.
Speaker 1: And he wants to eat. Yeah, he's gonna stay hilarious. So, Michelle,
Speaker 1: have you reached out to him after your date? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I texted him a couple of times, just saying like, hey,
Speaker 1: is everything good? And he wrote me back and said like,
Speaker 1: everything's all good. But you know, I asked if we
Speaker 1: wanted to try and meet up again and have like
Speaker 1: a more proper date, and he never brought me back.
Speaker 1: He never wrote back. Yeah. Yeah, I mean he's obviously
Speaker 1: not into you, but who knows why, what are you
Speaker 1: talking about? Why? He's obviously not into you. But you
Speaker 1: know what, I guess we'll try and get a date
Speaker 1: from your Sadly, what side points? Did he likes you?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not trying to be a jerk, but
Speaker 1: that's just the reality of dating. Wow, okay, Michelle, I
Speaker 1: think you're wonderful by the way. You're wonderful and you're
Speaker 1: you're amazing at dating. And what we're gonna do right
Speaker 1: here is we're gonna call Dylan and we're going to
Speaker 1: find out all the amazing reasons that he should go
Speaker 1: out with you again. Oh yeah, we're also going to
Speaker 1: discover why he doesn't like you. So come on, you're
Speaker 1: good with that, right, We're going to change our attitude,
Speaker 1: play a song, and come back and get your second
Speaker 1: date of it? All right, totally thank you. If you're
Speaker 1: just tuning in for the second date update, we're talking
Speaker 1: to Michelle right now. She went out with a guy
Speaker 1: named Dylan, and Dylan's handsome, he's fit, he's funny, he's charming. Dylan.
Speaker 1: Oh wait is this me? No? Oh sorry, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at my bio on the radio website. That's my bad. No,
Speaker 1: that is so cute. No, Dylan's weird. Dylan's a weirdo.
Speaker 1: Other than being super toned and having nice abs, we
Speaker 1: have absolutely nothing in common. But apparently him and Michelle
Speaker 1: went out to a bar. They had a few drinks together,
Speaker 1: and at one point Dylan checked his watch and looked
Speaker 1: surprised and suddenly told her that he had to go.
Speaker 1: No explanation beyond that, and so she's been having a
Speaker 1: hard time reaching him ever since. Then, Michelle, are you
Speaker 1: ready for this? I'm ready for this. Yeah, you better be,
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna tell you he's gonna drop the hammer.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I
Speaker 1: don't know. But I know that you've been racking your
Speaker 1: brain because there's not a woman alive that doesn't overanalyze
Speaker 1: every second of a date. Oh can you think of
Speaker 1: anything you said that would make him feel like he
Speaker 1: had to run? Well, I'm just saying, like, did she
Speaker 1: bring up marriage? She dropped the elbomb? Where are you at? No,
Speaker 1: we didn't talk about any kind of like past relationships.
Speaker 1: We only talked about positive things. But I don't know,
Speaker 1: like maybe has like a medication he forgot to take.
Speaker 1: I really have no idea. All right, I like that.
Speaker 1: Let's blame him for once. Yes, let's try that. All right. Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna call Dylan now and we're going to figure
Speaker 1: out once and for all what his deal is. Okay, yeah, great, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna Dallas phone number right now. Here we go. Hello, Hi,
Speaker 1: can I speak to Dylan please? This is he Hey,
Speaker 1: this is young Jeffrey from brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm doing fine, Howard? How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm wonderful. Thank you for asking me that. It's nice Dylan.
Speaker 1: No one ever asks. They don't. There's like a bunch
Speaker 1: of people on the phone there with you. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is my radio cohorts. That's what I say, co hosts.
Speaker 1: We're a radio show, Dylan. So there's a couple of
Speaker 1: us in the room. Yeah, and there's like people listening
Speaker 1: besides me, And Okay, I don't think I have time
Speaker 1: to explain to you how listening and how radio works.
Speaker 1: The reason that we're calling you is because we're doing
Speaker 1: something called a second date update. Oh okay, can we
Speaker 1: talk to you about your dating life right now? Um? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm taking that as yes, not all of it, just
Speaker 1: one date? Yeah, okay, specifically with a girl you went
Speaker 1: out with recently named Michelle. Oh yeah Michelle. I remember Michelle. Okay,
Speaker 1: then why aren't you calling her back? Dylan? Oh? I
Speaker 1: mean I intend to. I really think she's pretty cool. Actually,
Speaker 1: I've I've kind of got a plan in the works. Okay,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just have to wait till later tonight.
Speaker 1: You know I didn't late. Okay, what's going on? Are
Speaker 1: you in a relationship and you're planning to break up
Speaker 1: with your girlfriend tonight and then you're going to call
Speaker 1: Michelle back for the second date? What can you? Spoke
Speaker 1: a little bit too quickly there, Brooke? So why can't
Speaker 1: you just call her now? Why do you have to wait? No? Um,
Speaker 1: it's just important. I have to wait till six o'clock.
Speaker 1: Why are you all about time? Man? That is so weird.
Speaker 1: She told us on the date that you like looked
Speaker 1: at your clock and you're like, I gotta go, and
Speaker 1: you ran out of the date. Oh she told you that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean obviously left a pretty big impression. When you
Speaker 1: think things are going well and then suddenly your date
Speaker 1: ditches you. I mean I was having a really great time. Um,
Speaker 1: so why would you run away? No, it's not I
Speaker 1: didn't run away, It's just I had to end the
Speaker 1: date there at that time. Why, because we had reached
Speaker 1: fifty six minutes? Oh my god? That why fifty six
Speaker 1: minute is such a random number. No, no, no, it's
Speaker 1: actually very specific. So there's this really cutting edge article
Speaker 1: in this mental health magazine. Oh no, and it says
Speaker 1: that the optimum time for like the peak enjoyment of
Speaker 1: a first date is fifty seven minutes. So if I
Speaker 1: set my watch and at fifty six minutes, I know
Speaker 1: I need to wrap it up, and then you know,
Speaker 1: that'll increase the chances for a second day and a
Speaker 1: third day. Hold on, the article says, oh, you're optimal
Speaker 1: time for a first day to fifty seven minutes. You
Speaker 1: looked a minute early. No no, no, I set it
Speaker 1: for one minute, shy, so I could wrap things up,
Speaker 1: you know, and then leave right at the peak. Why
Speaker 1: didn't you set it for like fifty minutes so that
Speaker 1: you could have had like seven minutes to casually wrap
Speaker 1: things rather than sprinting out. Well, are you guys even
Speaker 1: saying why don't you just go with the flow? On
Speaker 1: a date and just feel the mood of everything and
Speaker 1: then realize, Okay, now it's time for this to be
Speaker 1: over like a normal human being. No, no, no, I
Speaker 1: mean studies have proven your chances of the date going
Speaker 1: poorly increase by sevenfold after fifteen minutes from the fifty
Speaker 1: seven minute marks. So if I tried to like offend
Speaker 1: it a little bit or anything, I would have probably
Speaker 1: lost track of time. And then it's like, you know
Speaker 1: that X Y axis just starts plumbing, Dylan, I understand
Speaker 1: that there's studies. Is there any studies on how your
Speaker 1: chances decrease with a woman if you just ditch her suddenly?
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't ditch her suddenly. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I had a really wonderful time, but I have to
Speaker 1: go or something right, And then you haven't been calling. No, no, no, guys, guys, guys, guys. No,
Speaker 1: Like I have to wait until six pm tonight because
Speaker 1: linked to that fifty seven minute first state experience is
Speaker 1: a locked in seventy five hour waiting period and that
Speaker 1: is the optimum time to call and then ask for
Speaker 1: a second date. Oh God, dude, why don't you just
Speaker 1: talk to her right now? Oh? Seriously, this is exhaust No,
Speaker 1: I mean that's not like part of the plan. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm throwing a wrench into your plan because Michelle is
Speaker 1: actually on the phone listening. She wants to talk to you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I Dylan, what how weird? I didn't know you were
Speaker 1: on the song. This is not good for the plan, Dylan.
Speaker 1: Forget the plan. Just talk to her. I'm not playing games.
Speaker 1: And this whole thing that you just came up with,
Speaker 1: the whole plan is it is just like strange. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I didn't come up with it,
Speaker 1: like a lot of top notch people researched it and
Speaker 1: wrote it up in the Men's Health magazine. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I cool, But you couldn't, like day, You couldn't explain
Speaker 1: something at the end of the date. You just kind
Speaker 1: of wanted to like use me as bait. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: It's just I really liked you, and you know, I've
Speaker 1: had some dates where we just tried to see how
Speaker 1: the date would go and they didn't end well. So
Speaker 1: I mean I read this feels very manipulative to me. WHOA,
Speaker 1: he walked away from you, Michelle because he likes you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? For sure? Michelle. I'm understanding what
Speaker 1: he's saying, and I yet that the intention was good
Speaker 1: and positive, but this feels it just feels very juvenile
Speaker 1: to me. I think it feels juvenile because you're talking
Speaker 1: with me like six and a half hours before like
Speaker 1: the optimum time, and I was gonna call you, and
Speaker 1: so it's like I think it's having like adverse effects
Speaker 1: science like on the whole plan. Oh my god, wow, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we threw off the time continuing with this call. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was working. She wants to see him. She called
Speaker 1: us to call him exactly. Yeah, that is true. But
Speaker 1: now that I know that it was all a big
Speaker 1: calculated plan, I don't know. Man, that feels just weird.
Speaker 1: It feels like you're gonna be playing games the entire time,
Speaker 1: our entire relationship. Again, it's gonna be okay. Well I
Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't want you to pitch a vacation,
Speaker 1: but we have to wait forty five days and then
Speaker 1: we can't kiss until two thirty four on the four
Speaker 1: and a half date. Like, I think what she's say
Speaker 1: in Dylan is that it's really sweet that you really
Speaker 1: wanted things to go well, but maybe just be more relaxed.
Speaker 1: Oh so you mean like follow the play in but
Speaker 1: just be a little relaxed with it. No, I could
Speaker 1: call her at six o five and seven, Dylan, Dylan,
Speaker 1: you need to take the plan, print it out, set
Speaker 1: it on fire, throat in the trash. Yeah, okay, she
Speaker 1: doesn't want your plan. She just wants you to be
Speaker 1: you exactly. Oh can you do that? That is a
Speaker 1: great ask, Dylan. That is what people are looking for
Speaker 1: in the dating world. Okay, but just so that everybody
Speaker 1: knows her finding out about the plan wasn't in the
Speaker 1: plan shocking, So it's like a contingency. That's just we know. Well,
Speaker 1: how about we make a new plan where we'll send
Speaker 1: you guys out on a date and we'll pay for
Speaker 1: that date if you guys see Oh yeah, is that
Speaker 1: a good plan, Dylan? I mean I think I can
Speaker 1: get down with that plan. Okay, look at that. Look
Speaker 1: he's flexible. See Michelle's FLEXI Well, he's willing to go
Speaker 1: with the flow. Yeah, and don't forget about the six
Speaker 1: pack abs. With all those things together, Michelle, are you
Speaker 1: willing to go out on a second date with him?
Speaker 1: We'll pay for it. I will go on a second
Speaker 1: date under my circumstance. Boo. She's coming up with a plan.
Speaker 1: Now we meet at twelve forty three on a flat day, Dylan,
Speaker 1: she sees, She sees you. You're perfect for each other.
Speaker 1: I don't know about this, but I'll give it a try. Congratulations, Michelle,
Speaker 1: you got a successful second date update. Thank you. I
Speaker 1: don't know if there's going to be a third, but
Speaker 1: we'll see how the second one goes. Broke and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the morning,
