Speaker 1: It's the second Date Update podcast, Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the morning, and today, of course it's Tuesday, which now
Speaker 1: means it is an awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 2: I just want I just want some comments on this one.
Speaker 1: Worst gift you were ever given by a significant other,
Speaker 1: you guys.
Speaker 3: Have, Yeah, not the worst, but I definitely remember getting
Speaker 3: gift cards once and they were empty. I went to
Speaker 3: spend them and I was with a bunch of friends.
Speaker 3: I said yeah, yeah, and they were like, there's no
Speaker 3: credit on Did I just get shamped so embarrassing?
Speaker 2: Did you have to take the stuff back from the
Speaker 2: counter or did you buy it?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: I bought it.
Speaker 3: You got it.
Speaker 1: That's not the worst.
Speaker 2: Gift you've ever been given? Empty gift cards?
Speaker 6: Maybe is up there.
Speaker 7: Once?
Speaker 6: Oh that was a gift because I didn't give it back.
Speaker 2: Do you still use it?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: No, I my closet.
Speaker 3: I got to use umbrella. That's kind of nice.
Speaker 2: All right, Well we've your worst gifted. The comments here.
Speaker 2: Comments from earlier this week when we got to like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw one from soph King that said, it's
Speaker 3: crazy how my sister used to make me listen to
Speaker 3: you guys in the car and I thought you guys
Speaker 3: were annoying, and now I listen every day.
Speaker 6: I heard this before.
Speaker 7: Yeah, other people that forced us, and they're like, what
Speaker 7: is this garbage? And then two days later they're like,
Speaker 7: did you hear the second day, don't they?
Speaker 1: We like the broccoli of podcasts, like you hate it
Speaker 1: as a kid, and then once you get older, you're like,
Speaker 1: this is delicious.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and we smell a little bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we're okay with that. Thanks for your comments,
Speaker 1: thanks for listening, and shit back and enjoy today's awkward
Speaker 1: Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 6: When it comes to giving gifts, yeah, they say it's
Speaker 6: the thought that counts.
Speaker 2: That's such a nice sentiment.
Speaker 6: Okay, sure, But then I buy everyone personalized coffee mugs
Speaker 6: for Christmas, and then suddenly you're all mad at me
Speaker 6: because they cause fires when you put them in the microwave.
Speaker 6: So I'm sorry, which one is it?
Speaker 7: Mine's a decorative order and I think it's hand washed,
Speaker 7: only to.
Speaker 6: Oh, that's not good enough for you all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: I mean, you did kind of mail it.
Speaker 6: In personal coffee. They can't be watched.
Speaker 1: It said my full name, but it said it be
Speaker 1: I mean, any I just.
Speaker 6: Know one of our listeners brought a gift to his
Speaker 6: date with a special lady, and her response historic that
Speaker 6: he gave it wasn't a mug and the reaction I
Speaker 6: don't even think was as bad as the reaction I
Speaker 6: got from my gift. You're gonna find out what it
Speaker 6: was and why he turned to us for an awkward
Speaker 6: Tuesday phone call because this is much much bigger than
Speaker 6: a regular second date. We're gonna make that call coming
Speaker 6: up right after this. It's awkward.
Speaker 5: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 6: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. I've never personally matched with
Speaker 6: somebody on Instagram, but I've heard that people do do that.
Speaker 6: It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning and one of
Speaker 6: our listeners named Davis matched with a lady on IG
Speaker 6: two years ago.
Speaker 1: Wow, I mean to be fair, Jeff, you probably don't
Speaker 1: remember what your password is, so you probably have.
Speaker 6: You have it for me? Right?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't keep that.
Speaker 6: Okay, I would go to it, but that department doesn't
Speaker 6: exist here anymore. Yeah, so I'll figure it out someday.
Speaker 6: Back to Davis. Two years ago, he took a chance,
Speaker 6: asked a girl out on IG whoa and nothing happened. Okay,
Speaker 6: so that puts him in the ninety nine of guys
Speaker 6: who DM ladies with no answer.
Speaker 1: Well, they don't even open it, right, It goes the
Speaker 1: request folder, hidden requests, or just the blocked area.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so many options to avoid men. It's amazing. But
Speaker 6: our producer insists that this story is different really, and
Speaker 6: he implored me to have Davis on the show to
Speaker 6: tell us what happened and explain why he deserves an
Speaker 6: awkward Tuesday phone call today. So I obliged. Davis, Welcome
Speaker 6: to the show.
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for having me Guys, dude, we're so invested
Speaker 1: already in your story.
Speaker 2: What a setup.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess I'll dive right in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 5: Like you guys said, you know, I met her about
Speaker 5: two years ago or on Instagram. We started talking and
Speaker 5: we matched.
Speaker 6: You were talking, Oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we talked a little bit. I got her to
Speaker 5: agree to go out on a date with me, but
Speaker 5: we couldn't figure out schedules or time, and eventually one
Speaker 5: day she just left me on red.
Speaker 3: Okay, you're saying match like you just follow each other
Speaker 3: without every She's just a random person you don't match
Speaker 3: on insteads.
Speaker 5: No, it's soul meeting follow Yes, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he commented on a bunch of her picks, and
Speaker 1: she finally followed.
Speaker 6: Right, that's good. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So two years later, I still follow her and I'm
Speaker 5: seeing her pick a lot, like she's still so cute,
Speaker 5: and I decide, you know what, I'm going to try
Speaker 5: and reach out again.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, she left you on read, but you
Speaker 1: could still see your photos, so that's a positive side.
Speaker 5: Right, So she says, why not, I'm single, Let's try it.
Speaker 1: Oh okaynt I love a why not answer?
Speaker 6: We'll take it. I've got literally nothing else going on
Speaker 6: in my life. Sure, I finally hit rock bottom? Why?
Speaker 6: And what's this beautiful Instagram girl's name?
Speaker 5: Samantha?
Speaker 2: Samantha Samantha's are always hot. Oh yeah, it's just in
Speaker 2: makes sense? Okay, So did you guys finally go out?
Speaker 5: We went out on three dates. Oh. Our first two
Speaker 5: dates were really good. She's a lot of fun, she
Speaker 5: seemed to like my company. And on our third date,
Speaker 5: you know, I was feeling really good, maybe too good
Speaker 5: about it, and this is where I screwed up.
Speaker 2: Okay, set the scene. Where were you?
Speaker 6: What were you doing?
Speaker 5: Okay, first, I just want to say, like I work
Speaker 5: in tech, I work with AI programs a lot and
Speaker 5: things like that. Okay, we're hanging out at my place.
Speaker 5: She goes to the bathroom and when she comes back,
Speaker 5: I had a book out on the coffee table waiting
Speaker 5: for kind of like a scrap book type thing.
Speaker 1: Nothing too fancy, this scrap book type thing.
Speaker 5: So I basically made an AI scrap book of our
Speaker 5: life together over the next forty fun Oh wow, but
Speaker 5: you get it.
Speaker 3: I was thinking the other sea word creepy.
Speaker 1: Can you describe some of these photos for us, because
Speaker 1: maybe it's not as bad as we're thinking.
Speaker 6: What was the scrap book?
Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing is that I did do like
Speaker 5: future vacations like us in Mexico with dolphins jumping over.
Speaker 6: Us AI dolphins.
Speaker 5: I thought it was funny. It was obviously AIA, so it.
Speaker 2: Was meant to be a joke. Okay, that's good.
Speaker 3: It was going for funny, not yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 5: At one point there's an AI like of her in
Speaker 5: a delivery with our first baby.
Speaker 7: That's what we were worried about.
Speaker 6: Are the dolphins jumping over the delivery room that too,
Speaker 6: because that would be.
Speaker 1: Awesome, awesome, what were you thinking? Why would you put
Speaker 1: any woman in the delivery room?
Speaker 5: I thought she'd be laughing, but she looked more shocked
Speaker 5: than anything.
Speaker 7: Yeah, when you just told us what you did, none
Speaker 7: of us have even thought of that before. That's a
Speaker 7: mind blowing thing. To actually see it would be crazy.
Speaker 2: Did she run from the apartment?
Speaker 5: So she did say she was like, wow, you put
Speaker 5: a lot of effort into it, but it wasn't like
Speaker 5: a happy tone.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So this obviously was a big mess up. And
Speaker 5: I never got to explain that this was like all
Speaker 5: meant as a joke, and she hasn't responded to my
Speaker 5: text and this is like over ten days now.
Speaker 6: Okay, so you you think maybe she took it like
Speaker 6: a little bit too seriously than you wanted her to
Speaker 6: take it one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Why weren't you able to explain it's a joke.
Speaker 5: I think I was so mortified after like her response
Speaker 5: of like, oh, you put a lot of effort into
Speaker 5: this up. Yeah, okay. I'd just like to tell her like, hey,
Speaker 5: I didn't mean this to be creepy, and maybe get
Speaker 5: some advice on how to say it.
Speaker 6: Okay, so this is what you want to do with
Speaker 6: the awkward Tuesday. We're reaching out to Samantha here, hoping
Speaker 6: to walk back a little bit of the damage that
Speaker 6: you've done.
Speaker 5: That's exactly what I'm hoping for.
Speaker 2: That is that is so hard.
Speaker 1: I feel like you missed your opportunity to tell her
Speaker 1: it was a joke. I feel like if you tell
Speaker 1: her now, she's going to just assume you're saying that
Speaker 1: because she was freaked out by it.
Speaker 6: Sounds like advice is lean harder into it like I
Speaker 6: was super Si. There's way more pictures if you want to.
Speaker 6: I'm just like, gotcha.
Speaker 2: I just think it's going to be harder than you think.
Speaker 6: Well, we're going to work on how to give you
Speaker 6: the best advice we could possibly come up with. I
Speaker 6: came and then call your What did she Say's not
Speaker 6: even your girlfriend?
Speaker 2: No, just a girl he's talking to.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the girl you're talking to that future wife. We
Speaker 6: have pictures your possible future wife and let her know
Speaker 6: the AI scrap book wasn't meant to be serious. We'll
Speaker 6: do it in your AWK for Tuesday phone call right
Speaker 6: after this. It's awkward.
Speaker 5: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 6: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. We've got a tech Wuhiz
Speaker 6: on the phone with us today named Davis, who recently
Speaker 6: used his super AI powers to scare a woman that
Speaker 6: he just started dating. That's not wrong, Oh man, he
Speaker 6: didn't mean to, No, he did. It was all meant
Speaker 6: as a joke when he made an AI scrap book
Speaker 6: that showed their future life together over the next forty years.
Speaker 6: Again a joke. The good news is it wasn't on
Speaker 6: the first date that he did this. He waited till
Speaker 6: the third date.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 1: Means that the pictures of her, the AI photos of
Speaker 1: her in the delivery room, should have been so funny.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but now it has been ten days since then,
Speaker 6: and she did seem a little bit freaked out by
Speaker 6: some of the photos that he showed her. So, I mean, David,
Speaker 6: would you say that that's accurate?
Speaker 5: And that's accurate? I mean, I think the one that
Speaker 5: got to the most was our wedding day and I
Speaker 5: photo shopped her parents into it.
Speaker 6: Oh God, you hadn't heard about the wedding photo.
Speaker 7: You haven't even met her parents, have you?
Speaker 5: No? I mean I found him on Instagram?
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, oh yeah, that's where you met.
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, Well that's fair. So now you just need
Speaker 6: a couple pieces of advice before we call Samantha and
Speaker 6: try to explain to her it's not as serious as
Speaker 6: it seemed. And yeah, so what do you think he
Speaker 6: should do?
Speaker 2: This is a little bit of a white lie. But
Speaker 2: you just tell her that your other nerd coworkers.
Speaker 1: Were like, all make it them for their girlfriends, and
Speaker 1: their girlfriend thought it was so funny. You got carried away.
Speaker 1: You realize that you know your you're not together yet
Speaker 1: and it was too much too soon.
Speaker 6: So sorry, bully yourself by calling you a nerd.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure I'm sure you would consider yourself a nerd.
Speaker 5: Right, Oh yeah, no, I'm a big nerd.
Speaker 6: Okay, Jose what's your advice?
Speaker 7: Well, you told us in the first part that you
Speaker 7: froze up when you were with her. You need to
Speaker 7: feel and sound confident here, so right now, with all
Speaker 7: the confidence in the world, tell me what is the
Speaker 7: one thing you like most about yourself?
Speaker 6: With confidence? But I'm on the spot.
Speaker 5: Come on, brother, I can tickle myself and laugh, and
Speaker 5: I don't think other people can do that.
Speaker 2: Okay, can tickle yourself and laugh?
Speaker 1: I will it.
Speaker 2: I'm funny. Maybe just do I'm funny to say you're.
Speaker 6: A nerd again, that gives him confidence. Let him be
Speaker 6: confident in the things that he likes. All right, so
Speaker 6: we're running out of time, but remember you're a nerd,
Speaker 6: but you're a confident nerd. So here we go with
Speaker 6: a good sense of humor, a dollar number, and let
Speaker 6: you make your awkward Tuesday phone call. Good luck man.
Speaker 5: Hello, Hey, Samantha, it's Davis.
Speaker 1: Hi.
Speaker 5: Hey, So I just I was trying to reach out
Speaker 5: a few days ago, and I just wanted a chance
Speaker 5: to maybe talk with you about our last date.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, what do you want to talk about?
Speaker 5: Well, I think you maybe got the wrong impression about
Speaker 5: the book that I made.
Speaker 4: Well why do you feel like I felt that way?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean your general reaction to it and demeanor
Speaker 5: afterwards seemed very uh, scared creeped out.
Speaker 4: You're not far off. I was a little weirded out.
Speaker 5: So here's the thing. Like, I'm a I'm a big nerd,
Speaker 5: and a lot of my my nerd friends who work
Speaker 5: at my nerd place I had done stuff like this
Speaker 5: with their girlfriends, and I may have jumped the gun.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 5: I know you weren't my girlfriend, but they thought it
Speaker 5: was very funny with them, and I thought it might
Speaker 5: be funny for us, and I might have nerded a
Speaker 5: little too hard.
Speaker 4: When you first showed me the book and we were
Speaker 4: looking through it, I initially thought it was creepy, and
Speaker 4: thinking about it days later, still creepy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I'm I'm kind of like a tech nerd
Speaker 5: type thing. And one of those ways to show it
Speaker 5: to you was was to make that for you.
Speaker 4: And I mean, I appreciate that, but I didn't really
Speaker 4: know how to take it. So I would home and
Speaker 4: ask my girlfriends about it.
Speaker 5: Okay, what did your friend say? What was their feedback?
Speaker 4: I got really big and they started saying things like,
Speaker 4: no way, why are you dating Hannibal? Like you just
Speaker 4: throw the book at him in rhymes.
Speaker 5: I feel like that is a fair response after I
Speaker 5: got to relook at everything. But at the same time,
Speaker 5: I feel like you could also say I'm very confident
Speaker 5: to have shown that to you.
Speaker 4: I just couldn't get that image out of my mind,
Speaker 4: just of how ugly our future children will be.
Speaker 5: Wait, wait, what how ugly the AI faked children were With.
Speaker 4: That picture you showed me. It put fear in my
Speaker 4: mind that this is what my actual kid is gonna
Speaker 4: look like like monsters. Obviously I'm not a mom. I
Speaker 4: don't have kids, but if I did, I would not
Speaker 4: be able to look at my daughter and super into bate.
Speaker 6: That that's a sound effect that we played off of
Speaker 6: our board here, because yeah, I did the sound effect. Yeah,
Speaker 6: much older technology. Because you're on the radio right now
Speaker 6: with the show called Broke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4: David, you gotta be kidding me. You got me on
Speaker 4: a radio show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, So I mean you aren't answering any of
Speaker 5: my messages. And to go back to that, like this
Speaker 5: is an AI program, it's not one hundred percent accurate.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 2: Well I'm hoping it's a lot less than one hundred
Speaker 2: percent here.
Speaker 4: I know that it's AI and that it just personally,
Speaker 4: do not think that I would be able to live
Speaker 4: with the fact of that image of my minding. This
Speaker 4: is what my kid is going to look like?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, But what you're missing, because you're not a mamia,
Speaker 1: is that mothers are blind to how cute their babies are.
Speaker 2: We all think our own children are cute. It's just
Speaker 2: like it's biology.
Speaker 6: It's just how it works.
Speaker 4: You wouldn't see these children like I did pop Well
Speaker 4: Mossi children. They are ugly.
Speaker 2: Georgia's babies.
Speaker 1: But I kind of understand where you're coming from, Like,
Speaker 1: if we do, it'd be a hard image to erase.
Speaker 2: It's like I never tried on a wedding dress before.
Speaker 1: I actually was engaged because I didn't want to see
Speaker 1: what it looked like.
Speaker 2: It freaked me out.
Speaker 7: As a mission, I'm like, we're going to try our
Speaker 7: hardest to make kids that aren't looking like that.
Speaker 6: He just keep making kids until they don't look like that. Yeah,
Speaker 6: you have a lot of choice over I understand.
Speaker 4: Did he show you the picture? Did he show you
Speaker 4: the whole boy? No?
Speaker 6: No, I'm kind of glad that he didn't.
Speaker 4: I say, the freakiest thing was was my six year
Speaker 4: old son's creepy looking smile.
Speaker 6: Oh oh smile.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. His name is Jonathan.
Speaker 4: Wait makes it worse.
Speaker 6: Don't name that, Okay, that was a joke that he
Speaker 6: was making.
Speaker 2: Did you just name your AI children?
Speaker 5: I mean I did name them, but they're not real.
Speaker 3: Something or could fix.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think at the end of the day, we
Speaker 6: all think that Davis seems like a sweet.
Speaker 2: Guy who was really into you.
Speaker 6: The gesture fell flat. He admits that he knows.
Speaker 7: He did one thing bad if you think about it
Speaker 7: other than that.
Speaker 6: But if we're good, right, Davis?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it? What say?
Speaker 6: Okay? Yeah? And when I'm not sure during these segments
Speaker 6: what should happen next? I always go to our expert
Speaker 6: Alexis on what she would do in this situation. Leaving
Speaker 6: god Lexus, I don't know. Did the scrap book?
Speaker 3: Have your next date planned so.
Speaker 6: You know where you should go?
Speaker 5: That's a great idea. What if I make you a
Speaker 5: new book of just us going on AI dates? No kidds.
Speaker 6: I like it. Actually I kind of do too.
Speaker 7: You just got to get the kid image out of her.
Speaker 6: Head, Samantha, what do you think about that idea?
Speaker 4: Come on, I would be willing to go on another
Speaker 4: day if you just leave AI out of it.
Speaker 6: Okay?
Speaker 2: Think that should be a good theme for all dates.
Speaker 5: Yeah, forever.
Speaker 6: And we normally don't promote book burning on this show.
Speaker 6: We can make an exception for this one time.
Speaker 2: The only book that should be banned, Yeah, this one.
Speaker 6: You guys, destroy it and make new dreams for your future.
Speaker 5: I like it.
Speaker 2: I'm in.
Speaker 5: I'm all in.
Speaker 6: David says, yeah, we know, what do you think about
Speaker 6: talking this out with Davis off the air? What We'll
Speaker 6: end this call and you too can hash it out.
Speaker 4: We can have a conversation.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's all we care about it, all right.
Speaker 5: And Samantha, I didn't tell you some of the best
Speaker 5: parts about me. I could tickle myself.
Speaker 6: We didn't like that.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm intrigued. A few secret talents on my own.
Speaker 6: Okay, to it, they are perfect. That might be the
Speaker 6: most shocking than we thought. All right, let us know
Speaker 6: how that conversation goes ners together.
Speaker 4: Freaking Jeffrey in the morning,
