Speaker 4: Your friends? Yeah, yes, they're not really looking out for you. Yes,
Speaker 4: they might say that, not really. Your coworkers yikes, absolutely,
Speaker 4: chat GPT Oh I mean probably not. Still I trust them.
Speaker 2: Trust all the computer minds Jeff.
Speaker 4: But when chat GPT runs out of date ideas, you
Speaker 4: got to turn to the sure thing, your therapist. Hot
Speaker 4: Dating tips.
Speaker 1: Wait, I mean maybe like relationship advice, but Hot Dating Day.
Speaker 4: That's what one of our listeners, Hannah did, and the
Speaker 4: great advice from her therapist has landed her here with
Speaker 4: us today. Therapist, Yeah, I think it's all working out. Well, Hannah,
Speaker 4: welcome to the st HI.
Speaker 1: I want to hear the therapist advise and yeah, what
Speaker 1: did your therapist say?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 9: I was talking about my struggles dating and she kind
Speaker 9: of called me out on that I'm maybe not always
Speaker 9: being my most authentic self and that could be why
Speaker 9: I'm struggling here.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what you're paying her for, you out professionally.
Speaker 4: She said, to just be the real you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just encouraging me to be myself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what did you do to accomplish that?
Speaker 9: So I was kind of racking my brain, like thinking,
Speaker 9: what are things that I like? And I love the
Speaker 9: show Cobra Kai.
Speaker 2: Oh, like the Karate Kids spin off?
Speaker 9: Yes, Cobra Kai.
Speaker 2: I did not expect us to go there. So did
Speaker 2: you take a karate class then or something.
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, I get him there.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay, Well I guess who'd you go out with?
Speaker 9: His name is Mike?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah. Did you meet him at the karate class
Speaker 1: or did you take a class together?
Speaker 9: Oh we took a class together.
Speaker 10: Interesting, but I met him online.
Speaker 4: Oh so how did this date happen? Can you like
Speaker 4: run us through it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Well we set up just like a dinner date. Okay,
Speaker 9: nice and she and it was a fun time and
Speaker 9: like we were hitting it off.
Speaker 4: So you're matching the cobra kai theme to the meal too.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, sushi you have like all kind of Asian
Speaker 5: culture influences.
Speaker 2: Yes, nice and so she was good. You guys had
Speaker 2: good conversation or like what's the highlights there?
Speaker 9: We were just goofing around. We were like play fighting.
Speaker 2: Like with the chopsticks the swords.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, Okay.
Speaker 9: To be honest, I wouldn't normally act like this on
Speaker 9: my dates, Like maybe I was a little too nerdy,
Speaker 9: but I kept hearing be my most authentic self kind
Speaker 9: of saying it like as a mantra.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, So when you brought up Cobra Kai with Mike,
Speaker 4: was he into it?
Speaker 9: He'd actually never seen it, but he had heard of it,
Speaker 9: and I think he'd been meaning to watch it.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's good.
Speaker 4: That's to show him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally if everything goes.
Speaker 4: Well, of course.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and you know I've tried to go that route
Speaker 9: and invite him over to watch it at my place.
Speaker 2: You I think that he's probably planning on more than
Speaker 2: cobra kai you know, yeah.
Speaker 5: More like cobra thighs.
Speaker 4: What sorry? So did he say?
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, he was kind of like, I don't know
Speaker 9: how late I can stay out.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, that makes sense. I mean tell literally people
Speaker 5: that before.
Speaker 4: It makes sense. But not in a dating world like that.
Speaker 4: Invite is whatever guy is waiting, you want.
Speaker 9: To go, you'll stay up.
Speaker 1: Not every guy wants to hook up on the first date. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe she got the one percent?
Speaker 2: You know, So were you okay with that?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I was okay with that because I had a backup plan.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, authentic self, what was that?
Speaker 9: My authentic self decided that we could like go do
Speaker 9: like a trial martial arts class.
Speaker 7: Ah.
Speaker 4: So it's you, Mike and a room full of six
Speaker 4: year old.
Speaker 1: So you went straight from the restaurant to a karate class.
Speaker 3: It was actually next door.
Speaker 9: I sort of might have planned that.
Speaker 2: You have a whole plan.
Speaker 5: He's either going to my house.
Speaker 2: We're rolling on my bed or rolling on some men.
Speaker 2: Why do I picture him in jeans trying to do karate?
Speaker 2: Did he have the right outfit for it?
Speaker 4: What did they give you? Oh?
Speaker 9: Yeah, they provided us with the Yeah, and I think
Speaker 9: we had fun as I got.
Speaker 5: Some sweet nunchucks in my truck anyway, so let.
Speaker 2: Me get my throwing start.
Speaker 4: Wasn't it fun as good? Was it romantic?
Speaker 7: Or? I think so?
Speaker 9: Because really, you know, like the kind of fighting, it's
Speaker 9: like there's tension, it's kind of flirty.
Speaker 1: And I also just trying anything new with a person
Speaker 1: like helps bond you.
Speaker 4: Right, what's going on?
Speaker 2: It's a shared experience. You can either laugh at how
Speaker 2: bad you.
Speaker 4: Are or I just slowly choke them out.
Speaker 2: Did they do that at the beginner?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Oh yeah, let's let's let's get to the end
Speaker 4: of the night. How did you leave things?
Speaker 9: We just said goodbye to each other kind of outside
Speaker 9: kiss a little kiss.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, that's something. And what's happened since the date?
Speaker 9: Well, it hasn't been that long, but I actually saw
Speaker 9: my therapist.
Speaker 1: Okay, did you giggle through that session too?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I think I definitely did, because I really was trying
Speaker 9: to be my most authentic self.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you told her about the date, then.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3: I told her about it.
Speaker 2: So why are you calling us then?
Speaker 9: Well, she kind of made me doubt things because she
Speaker 9: said to me like that might have been a little too.
Speaker 4: Much, too too authentic.
Speaker 9: Not necessarily that, but that there are other parts to me,
Speaker 9: like I'm not just copra kai.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, like you only focus on martial arts.
Speaker 2: Tell your therapist, you're not going to show this guy
Speaker 2: everything in the first night.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's Brooks movies.
Speaker 9: Yeah, maybe second date material, all right, you got to
Speaker 9: leave something to learn, open up, show him more of
Speaker 9: your interests when you meet up a second time.
Speaker 4: So hopefully we can facilitate that. We'll come back call
Speaker 4: Mike for you and try and get you your second
Speaker 4: date update right after this.
Speaker 6: Okay, brook and Jeffrey in the morning, second date update.
Speaker 4: This is the theme song for the original Karate Kids.
Speaker 2: Okay, you're the best around, jeff.
Speaker 4: Wow, come a little strong man, authentic self, real thoughts now,
Speaker 4: But I know it's been a while since we've all
Speaker 4: seen the original movie, but I'll tell you the overall
Speaker 4: theme of it is an underdog who's up against the odds,
Speaker 4: finally faces his fears and his bullies and comes away
Speaker 4: with the trophy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Everyone loves an underdog story. And that's our listener, Hannah today.
Speaker 4: And Hannah's trophy that she's after is a man named
Speaker 4: Mike she met online and personally, Hannah, I just want
Speaker 4: to say your idea for like a Cobra kai themed
Speaker 4: date going to sushi and doing a karate class together. Like,
Speaker 4: we never hear women going out of their way to
Speaker 4: set things up like this. It's usually the men that
Speaker 4: try and arrange a date like this. It is refreshing.
Speaker 4: I commend you on what you did here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. Get it another. I'm striking first
Speaker 2: like a Cobra. I think it's marriage material.
Speaker 10: Wow, you're just.
Speaker 2: Think I think she's marriage material. In this guy is
Speaker 2: going to be missing out if he doesn't give you
Speaker 2: another chance.
Speaker 4: All right, we're sitting the bar. Yeah, would you like
Speaker 4: Brook to tell him that as soon as we get
Speaker 4: him on the phone, or we can hold off for
Speaker 4: a second.
Speaker 9: Yeah, let's just be natural and chill about it at Okay,
Speaker 9: see what happens, and then then we'll get to the
Speaker 9: waxing on and off and all that.
Speaker 4: That's right, that's a good part of the movie. Here
Speaker 4: we go, let's dial the phone number and hopefully he
Speaker 4: picks up. Hello. Hey, we're looking for Mike.
Speaker 11: This is Mike.
Speaker 4: Hey, Mike, I said, we because you're talking to a
Speaker 4: whole show right now, a radio show Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 4: in the morning.
Speaker 11: Uh, what is it about.
Speaker 2: It's called the Second Date Update, and it's all about you, Mike.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, just sorry. I don't know what's going on
Speaker 4: with Brooke today. She's a little yeah, and it's not
Speaker 4: just about you. It's about you along with one of
Speaker 4: our listeners that you went on a date with recently
Speaker 4: named Hannah.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, Hannah. Yeah, okay, yeah remember.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well it sounds like you guys just recently went out,
Speaker 1: which is awesome.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah we did. Yeah we went out cool, all right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we heard a little bit about your guys's date.
Speaker 4: We'd like to get your side of the story, just
Speaker 4: to see how the stories match.
Speaker 11: I mean, I don't know, what do you want to know.
Speaker 11: I don't really feel too comfortable about talking about this
Speaker 11: kind of stuff for the whole radio show.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, not the whole show. Alexis closed your ears.
Speaker 4: Oh all right, now you have seventy percent of the show.
Speaker 2: I don't want to miss how it goes headphones off,
Speaker 2: he doesn't listen anyways. Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 4: What okay, all right, I think we're meeting your quota now.
Speaker 4: So what we're looking for though, is just general thoughts
Speaker 4: like did you like Hannah? How did you feel about her?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 11: Uh, I mean okay, if I if I'd say anything,
Speaker 11: it was probably one of the more like unique experiences
Speaker 11: I've ever had on a date.
Speaker 1: It sounds like she put a lot of like thought
Speaker 1: and energy into planning the night for you too.
Speaker 2: Is that is that something new that?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's that's that's for sure. I think a lot
Speaker 11: of energy was expended too, even on the date. I
Speaker 11: can give you that much.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're talking about like the karate class was like
Speaker 5: you extend the energy?
Speaker 11: Yeah, that would be it. I I certainly something I've
Speaker 11: ever experienced before.
Speaker 1: That's cool, though, I mean, what did you think when
Speaker 1: she came up with that idea?
Speaker 2: She said it was kind of a surprise.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, it absolutely was. And I'll say this, you know,
Speaker 11: I thought for me it was like I don't mind surprises.
Speaker 11: It was just something that like what I was wearing too,
Speaker 11: you know, I'm wearing some kind of nice pants. I
Speaker 11: couldn't you know, I can't do karate in those kind
Speaker 11: of clothes. It was, you know, it was It was interesting.
Speaker 5: Because I could see how people would even say no,
Speaker 5: not in a rude way, but like I'm sorry, but
Speaker 5: that's kind of a big ask, Like we just had dinner.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I probably do it.
Speaker 2: I mean, this guy, you sound adventurous.
Speaker 4: It sounds like you're talking a lot about the date
Speaker 4: and the activities. I want to know what you thought
Speaker 4: about Hannah.
Speaker 2: If you got to know who she is.
Speaker 11: Uh yeah, a little bit. I mean she seems really nice,
Speaker 11: but uh, your personality wise, I just don't know if
Speaker 11: we're if we're compatible. Oh no, yeah, to be completely honest, well,
Speaker 11: it was she I mean, this is weird to me too,
Speaker 11: is that like she puts all this great idea and
Speaker 11: energy into this idea and then she kind of was
Speaker 11: a little like meek, you know, just kind of yeah, shy.
Speaker 11: I guess i'd say, like it's like, it's not her fault.
Speaker 11: I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm not saying
Speaker 11: people like that and have a problem or anything. It's
Speaker 11: just for me, it's not really what I go for
Speaker 11: and when I saw.
Speaker 1: That, But listen, you've got a person, even if she's shy,
Speaker 1: she's going out a limb. She's surprising you with the
Speaker 1: karate class Like maybe you just need to get to
Speaker 1: know her more to see like her fun charismatic side.
Speaker 11: Yeah, what's that whole thing? You can't ask us ever
Speaker 11: to change his stripes or something like that. And then
Speaker 11: I'm saying, I don't know, it's just something like she is.
Speaker 4: You know what exactly a you're looking for? What type
Speaker 4: of woman do you want? Obnoxious brook type?
Speaker 2: Some people do, some people do, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 11: You know, I think that typically I'm just more attracted
Speaker 11: to someone with a bit more of like an assertive
Speaker 11: of personality.
Speaker 1: Really, but she's I know.
Speaker 4: There is a saying that I like to draw up
Speaker 4: on sometimes. It's that I may not always win, but
Speaker 4: I never quit.
Speaker 2: Oh is this a karate kid thing?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Okay, I was ruining it, but it's going to
Speaker 4: segue seedlessly to tell you know who also doesn't quit? Hannah,
Speaker 4: who's on the other line right now?
Speaker 2: Talk to him?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 11: Yeah, you're damn right the phone.
Speaker 9: Yeah, ober kind never dies. Okay it is.
Speaker 11: And I find a footable here sneaky move Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 11: we want.
Speaker 4: You to talk to each other. I want to hear
Speaker 4: from Hannah though, Hannah, what what do you think about
Speaker 4: what you just heard?
Speaker 9: I think that it's kind of ridiculous that you would
Speaker 9: judge me that fast, because I clearly have other sides
Speaker 9: to my personality.
Speaker 7: I just was.
Speaker 9: Showing the one thing first. I put myself out there.
Speaker 9: I can be assertive like I can be bad.
Speaker 13: Oh okay, sounds like he's not quite buying it yet.
Speaker 9: I don't think you're you're really getting that. So just like,
Speaker 9: don't confuse being nice with being weak?
Speaker 2: Is that a quote? Because that's a good thing, Hannah.
Speaker 4: Do you have any other examples of how you can
Speaker 4: be an assertive powerful woman?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 9: Like, I might like this show for a reason, Okay,
Speaker 9: because I am a go getter. I try to get
Speaker 9: what I want. I mean, I don't give up.
Speaker 2: Yes, right, what are you thinking there?
Speaker 12: So?
Speaker 11: I mean, are you saying that what you want is
Speaker 11: another date with me? Is that what you want?
Speaker 7: Hannah?
Speaker 4: Strike first, strike hard, no mercy.
Speaker 2: Where are you kidding.
Speaker 7: Saying?
Speaker 2: Before we called it?
Speaker 4: I'm on Google?
Speaker 9: Listen.
Speaker 10: Okay, Okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 9: You're gonna either be quiet and listen to me and
Speaker 9: just do it and we're gonna go out again because
Speaker 9: there's more there, or you're just gonna be lame.
Speaker 4: I don't even have to ask a question, because she's
Speaker 4: telling you that we're going to go out on a
Speaker 4: second date.
Speaker 2: You don't want to be lame, do you?
Speaker 11: I mean, listen. I said to them that I wanted
Speaker 11: someone who was assertive, and this is kind of the consertiveness.
Speaker 11: So I'm down if you're down.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, I've an offer to pay for it. There
Speaker 4: we go.
Speaker 2: She's gonna make him pay for it.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you got money to pay for it, and
Speaker 4: you're gonna like it.
Speaker 11: Mike, I guess I have to now. I literally asked
Speaker 11: for someone to tell me what to do.
Speaker 4: So it sounds like we're sending you guys out on
Speaker 4: another date.
Speaker 11: Yeah, all right, all right, hand up, glad you did this? Shoot?
Speaker 2: Do you know have a Cobra Kai saying to close this.
Speaker 4: Out, no, I was just gonna end with a traditional
Speaker 4: bow and then we all kiss. This is radio.
Speaker 13: There's kissing in the karate classes that I went to.
Speaker 13: There we okay, everybody bow and pucker and one to.
Speaker 4: You've taken control of the.
Speaker 2: Situation, like jeff is actually blessing.
Speaker 13: Your hands full with this tiger well.
Speaker 10: A monster real and Jeffrey in the.
Speaker 4: Morning another prime example of when being true to yourself
Speaker 4: goes bad.
Speaker 1: I mean, I.
Speaker 2: Guess you know.
Speaker 1: I think there's probably a lot of therapists that are like,
Speaker 1: oh god, that's not exactly.
Speaker 2: What we meant.
Speaker 4: Now, here's a secret that your therapist or your friends
Speaker 4: and your family won't tell you. Nobody likes you who.
Speaker 7: The real you.
Speaker 4: They don't want to see that person.
Speaker 2: That's what you take.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you this because I care. This is the truth.
Speaker 1: Is this the speech that your mother gave you your
Speaker 1: high school graduation?
Speaker 4: Look at the Kardashians. Okay, nobody liked the real them,
Speaker 4: and now look at the look they changed everything and
Speaker 4: they are the most successful, happiest family in the world.
Speaker 2: That's not the message. That's not the message. We're sending
Speaker 2: out the message.
Speaker 4: Then Brooke, be true to yourself and then screw the
Speaker 4: date up.
Speaker 1: No, it's just maybe that wasn't a good fit for her.
Speaker 1: He wanted someone that she isn't, and that's okay.
Speaker 4: It would have been a good fit if she changed
Speaker 4: everything about herself.
Speaker 2: All Right, I give up, you.
Speaker 4: Know, I see the bright side.
Speaker 2: Go join the Kardashian Clay.
Speaker 4: All right, we're gonna have a good time together. And
Speaker 4: then when I come back, I'm willing to help people
Speaker 4: with their data.
Speaker 2: Wait, I think it's his lips that are gonna be
Speaker 2: way fire.
Speaker 4: No matter how I look or how I feel, you
Speaker 4: can always email the show. We'll call that person who
Speaker 4: isn't calling you back. And check out all of our
Speaker 4: second day podcasts up wherever you get yours at Brook and.
Speaker 10: Jeffrey Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 4: One of the most popular second dates from last year
Speaker 4: is back, along with the sound clip that's been replayed
Speaker 4: on Spotify over half a million times. The good news
Speaker 4: for us is she's moved to a new city and
Speaker 4: jumped back into the dating pool. The bad news is
Speaker 4: the guys she went out with is avoiding her and
Speaker 4: literally ran away literally why. That's what we're going to
Speaker 4: try to find out when we have her back for
Speaker 4: your second date update right after this Brook.
Speaker 6: And Jeffrey in the morning second date updates.
Speaker 4: We've had unlucky second daters return back to the show
Speaker 4: looking for another shot at love. What we don't have
Speaker 4: that often is second date ease. The people we call
Speaker 4: during the segment who don't know who we are, coming
Speaker 4: back and asking for our.
Speaker 2: Help because they usually don't have a good experience.
Speaker 4: That usually drive people away. But this one in particular
Speaker 4: was one of the most popular that we had on
Speaker 4: all of last year. I'll just play the clip and
Speaker 4: I think most of you will remember. Here's Meghan.
Speaker 8: Oh he doesn't remember.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'm not calling him back because he ate
Speaker 3: my goldfish, actual fish, you my actual swimming fish Cleo gone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Megan's fish got eight on her dates. So she
Speaker 4: said no to that guy. Not sure why, but she
Speaker 4: did email us back saying that she is now a
Speaker 4: listener to our show regularly and she'd like to request
Speaker 4: our services. So Meghan, welcome back to Brook and Jeffery.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Hi, guys.
Speaker 2: Please tell me no pets went missing in this latest.
Speaker 3: Date I haven't even adopted another pet, so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, still living with it. Well, apparently there is a
Speaker 4: new man that you met recently. Okay, tell us about
Speaker 4: your date and who it was with, where you went,
Speaker 4: what you ate, why you liked them, how it ended,
Speaker 4: and five things that may or may not have gone wrong.
Speaker 2: You're a conversation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just get all the questions out of the way
Speaker 4: after all.
Speaker 3: Right, I went on this date with Mark.
Speaker 8: Very lucky man.
Speaker 2: We met Mark where.
Speaker 3: We met at an art gallery?
Speaker 1: Actually, was it like one of those openings where it's
Speaker 1: like a party almost?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Yes, actually cool. So I was just checking
Speaker 3: out this piece of art and this cute guy just
Speaker 3: kind of started talking to me about it, and we
Speaker 3: just kept chatting and walking and we were both very spontaneous.
Speaker 3: So we just went out for a very late lunch.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is an evening thing, this is a daytime.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, I know this spot with all these
Speaker 3: food trucks, let's go there.
Speaker 4: So we did, from the art gallery to the food truck.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 2: It's really cute.
Speaker 1: I mean what's nice about it too, is that you
Speaker 1: don't have any opportunities for somebody to bail right now.
Speaker 1: I think it happens in dating, like even just hanging
Speaker 1: out with a friend, Like you have so many different
Speaker 1: points of contact before the actual hangout where people can
Speaker 1: just flake on you.
Speaker 8: You think that, yeah, you think that.
Speaker 3: So we get our top, like we get tacos, and
Speaker 3: we're like comparing toppings for like trying each other's stuff.
Speaker 3: Like it's really fun and cute.
Speaker 2: And I like him.
Speaker 3: I especially like him because he's asking me very thoughtful questions.
Speaker 4: What's a thoughtful question?
Speaker 3: He asked me, what is the weirdest compliment I've ever received?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: And was it that your goldfish tastes delicious?
Speaker 3: Out? I was like, I can't think of anything. Well,
Speaker 3: I have one, he said, someone told him that he
Speaker 3: has eyes that would make a cat jealous.
Speaker 8: I didn't.
Speaker 3: I kinda laughed because I didn't really know what to
Speaker 3: make of it.
Speaker 4: I don't understand what that even means.
Speaker 1: I think it was just a setup so that he
Speaker 1: could tell you how he had great eyes.
Speaker 8: I think he did have nice eyes.
Speaker 4: Is there another great question.
Speaker 9: That he had?
Speaker 3: So we laughed that one off, and then he goes,
Speaker 3: all right, well, what is something that you wouldn't normally
Speaker 3: tell people? On a first date.
Speaker 2: That's a loaded question.
Speaker 8: Okay, Yeah, So I tell him that I've had some
Speaker 8: family members might have been in some reenactments of like
Speaker 8: true their story might have been in some reenactments of
Speaker 8: true crime.
Speaker 7: Let's say that, Oh.
Speaker 4: Your family has a criminal pass.
Speaker 8: You said it, not me, So.
Speaker 4: I'm just decoding.
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like your family was the victim, that's
Speaker 2: for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, he was trying to pry some details out
Speaker 3: of me. I don't give it to him, and I go,
Speaker 3: what about you? And he says, oh, well, I recently
Speaker 3: got out of a speeding ticket by looking like a
Speaker 3: Jonas brother, which I guess was kind of his like
Speaker 3: bad boy trying to relate to crime.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay, I don't think anyone ever
Speaker 1: thought Jonas brothers were bad boys.
Speaker 2: So you just like it because.
Speaker 1: It's different conversation than normally how happens on a first date.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was at least interesting.
Speaker 4: Sounds interesting. Now. Earlier you mentioned there was no chance
Speaker 4: for him to ditch to escape, and he kind of
Speaker 4: laughed at that.
Speaker 3: So the final part of our date, we decide to
Speaker 3: go into a nearby bookstore and we're just kind of
Speaker 3: perusing the aisles, and then all of a sudden, it's
Speaker 3: like one of those things, you know, like the door
Speaker 3: has like a bell attached to it. I hear the
Speaker 3: bell ding and I just instinctively look up and there's
Speaker 3: Mark and he's just sprinting.
Speaker 4: God.
Speaker 3: Yes, and he didn't say anything to me.
Speaker 4: Did somebody show Oh my god, it's one of the
Speaker 4: Jonas brothers.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I instantly go to the taco truck.
Speaker 5: Oh there was.
Speaker 4: A digestive issue.
Speaker 2: He needed to find a bathroom.
Speaker 8: I don't think of that, but he he had.
Speaker 3: My number and he didn't even like text me to apologize.
Speaker 2: Or wait you never saw him again?
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm calling you.
Speaker 2: How rude?
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, you are on a date with someone, you
Speaker 1: spend that many hours and then you you run away.
Speaker 4: It's like you said, if there's an emergency happening in
Speaker 4: your clothes at the moment, you don't stick around and
Speaker 4: explain yourself.
Speaker 2: That's case scenario. I know, text you, text you, call
Speaker 2: you say I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: His phone was in his pants. It's all messed up.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the answer is, but hopefully he
Speaker 4: picks up when we call him and he has some
Speaker 4: for us when we reach out to Mark for you
Speaker 4: and ask what made you sprint out of the bookstore
Speaker 4: without saying goodbye after your awesome insta date. Yeah, we're
Speaker 4: gonna find out when we do your second date update
Speaker 4: right after this.
Speaker 6: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning Second date updates.
Speaker 4: If you're just joining us, we may have uncovered secret
Speaker 4: audio of Mark at the very end of his first
Speaker 4: date with Megan.
Speaker 2: Wait play again, it's too fast.
Speaker 12: Uncovered because he literally he's sprinted out of the bookstore
Speaker 12: where they were without saying goodbye, leaving Megan wondering what
Speaker 12: is going on and who is going to pay for
Speaker 12: this fifty Shades of Gray Make your Own Adventure.
Speaker 2: Book really smart?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it always ends weird, but Brooke had a theory
Speaker 4: that it was a post taco truck emergency that had
Speaker 4: him sprinting out of there. But remember Meghan said that
Speaker 4: she liked him because Mark asked unique questions during the
Speaker 4: date and that was a big turn on.
Speaker 3: Right Meghan, Yeah, especially for an impromptu date.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, time to prep it.
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole thing felt pretty natural from your
Speaker 1: description of it. I can't even think of why why
Speaker 1: anyone would run away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was like a really big deal to me
Speaker 3: because this is the first connection I've had since I
Speaker 3: moved here about a month ago.
Speaker 4: Have we considered the fact that he may not be
Speaker 4: able to read.
Speaker 1: I'm god, we're laughing and I'm gonna feel really bad
Speaker 1: if he's illiterate.
Speaker 2: We can't hear this.
Speaker 4: I feel so bad, guys, I'm kidding. So, I mean, look,
Speaker 4: we're all pulling for you because we don't want you
Speaker 4: to have no connections in this new city that you
Speaker 4: just moved to.
Speaker 2: Before moving to a new city can be hard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll try and help connect you with the guy.
Speaker 4: Even if you can't read. At least it's somebody that
Speaker 4: you can hang out with.
Speaker 7: It.
Speaker 4: I didn't watch a TV show.
Speaker 2: You can't be picky when you're new in a city.
Speaker 2: You got to take what you get. May take picture
Speaker 2: books for a reason, and we'll.
Speaker 4: Upgrade slowly over time if need be. But first let's
Speaker 4: call Mark. We'll see if he picks up. Hopefully get
Speaker 4: some answers. Okay, here we go. Hello, Hey is this Mark?
Speaker 7: Uh? Yes? Who's this? Hey?
Speaker 4: Mark? So we didn't catch you in the bathroom or something.
Speaker 4: It sounds kind of echoy on your end. Well, I
Speaker 4: hope we didn't catch it that time.
Speaker 7: Who are you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we should tell you. We're a radio show
Speaker 4: called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 7: Yeah, good morning, Okay, good morning. What's this about?
Speaker 2: You're on your bathroom Ratings and reviews segment?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is on the tents.
Speaker 2: That's what we do.
Speaker 4: We're like kind of a fun, jokey comedy type show.
Speaker 4: But one of the big things we do is a
Speaker 4: dating segment called second Date Update. I don't know if
Speaker 4: you're familiar with it, but one of our listeners reached
Speaker 4: out to us because you guys went out the other night.
Speaker 4: She had a really good time. Her name's Meghan.
Speaker 7: Oh oh, oh god. Okay, yeah, yeah, brother.
Speaker 4: Well, we have a lot of questions for you, Mark,
Speaker 4: the number one question being why did you sprint out
Speaker 4: of the bookstore at the end of the date without
Speaker 4: saying anything? Is there a reason behind that?
Speaker 13: Uh?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I definitely had a good reason.
Speaker 4: Well, good because we heard about your date. Megan told
Speaker 4: us a lot about it, but she has no idea
Speaker 4: why you would go running out of that bookstore. Should
Speaker 4: she know the re.
Speaker 7: Well don't. I don't know. Megan should know the reason,
Speaker 7: I would think, but she really does.
Speaker 1: Did you text her or something because she didn't get
Speaker 1: your text like there was no explanation from you.
Speaker 7: Nope, nope, I did not text her at all. I
Speaker 7: went to an art exhibit and yes, we hit it off.
Speaker 7: It was nice. And then next thing I know, we're
Speaker 7: getting a late lunch and she's telling me that her
Speaker 7: family is in the cartel.
Speaker 4: What oh the family?
Speaker 2: Remember?
Speaker 4: Oh about it? Okay? Wait wait wait wait wait.
Speaker 2: Wait, hold on.
Speaker 1: This comes from a question that you asked her. You
Speaker 1: asked her one thing that she would never share on
Speaker 1: a first date.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I'm glad I did, because then she shared
Speaker 7: that with me, and I knew to steer clear.
Speaker 4: Well hold on really a turn off when we heard
Speaker 4: about it. She said that her family had kind of
Speaker 4: like a sordid past with maybe some criminal activity.
Speaker 2: I just thought there were some felons, you know, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: a felon. I mean, mind of.
Speaker 4: Felons are better than the cartel? Is that? Is that
Speaker 4: our stance.
Speaker 2: It's not necessarily a lifelong decision. It's like one bad
Speaker 2: choice to be a felon. The cartel is like you're
Speaker 2: making yeah.
Speaker 4: Marketment, how did you get to the cartel from what
Speaker 4: she told you?
Speaker 7: She just said it. She was like, okay, well, let's
Speaker 7: just say that like what you guys were saying about
Speaker 7: your families, like there's some sordid characters or whatever. And
Speaker 7: I pressed and then she was like, well, yeah, my
Speaker 7: family is in the cartel. That's why I had to
Speaker 7: move cities.
Speaker 2: Wait, that's why she had to move cities.
Speaker 7: Yep, that's why I had lived here. They're keeping tabs
Speaker 7: on me, but I think we're safe.
Speaker 4: Okay, So wait, you learn all this information about her,
Speaker 4: how do you go from being in the bookstore with
Speaker 4: her to sprinting out, yeah, why did you run before?
Speaker 7: When she said they were keeping cabs on me? I
Speaker 7: was sort of like thinking, okay, is there anybody watching
Speaker 7: us right now? So I didn't want to just run away,
Speaker 7: so I was like, hey, let's go into this bookstore
Speaker 7: and then your escape.
Speaker 2: Route because they wouldn't see you outside the bookstore running.
Speaker 4: It's not like the cartel is tapping the line right
Speaker 4: now listening to what you're saying. At least, we don't think.
Speaker 7: So.
Speaker 4: I don't know how they operate, but I do know
Speaker 4: Megan is on the other line listening to the.
Speaker 1: Callell's a big fan of the second day of.
Speaker 4: The wouldn't be.
Speaker 7: Megan's on the phone right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how the setment works's there? But go ahead.
Speaker 3: I just want to say I think you're overreacting a
Speaker 3: little bit.
Speaker 8: I think this is kind of a bit much given
Speaker 8: what I mentioned.
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, family, what are you talking about? Megan? You're
Speaker 2: joking right, Well.
Speaker 3: I can't tell a lot. I can't really share that
Speaker 3: in frankly, Mark couldn't have pulled that on the line.
Speaker 2: Well he didn't know.
Speaker 4: Well, he's just telling us his side of the story.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm glad I did well.
Speaker 3: And that's why I thought that was a conversation just
Speaker 3: between you and me. That's why I didn't say the
Speaker 3: word cartel. That's why I just said, oh, my family
Speaker 3: has a criminal background.
Speaker 4: So mark o, Mark, do you want to apologize for
Speaker 4: outing her family as part of the cartel?
Speaker 10: What you're talking about?
Speaker 3: If you think about it, this really is your fault
Speaker 3: because you are the one who asked me the question,
Speaker 3: what would I not tell anyone on a first date?
Speaker 9: So really it's.
Speaker 2: Kind of your fault, a hit on yourself.
Speaker 3: Now you've heard everything, like, just know we do want
Speaker 3: to go on another date, Like, yeah, we can't really
Speaker 3: like text the name of locations, but we can like
Speaker 3: to do a code?
Speaker 4: Are you serious?
Speaker 9: Joke?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 2: What I can't tell.
Speaker 4: I'm a little bit scared, Like Mark.
Speaker 2: I'm angry. I want to hang out with her.
Speaker 4: Now, Mark, what's your read on how Megan is doing this?
Speaker 7: I'm completely against this. I want to protect myself.
Speaker 2: Her against the cartel.
Speaker 3: That's not a good idea already out of them. He
Speaker 3: was the one who said it.
Speaker 7: I didn't, Oh man, I mean I would.
Speaker 4: I would be a little bit flattered.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not going to tell you anything.
Speaker 1: But he's get really good presence from anybody if you're.
Speaker 2: Dating, Like you know what I mean, Oh yeah, they
Speaker 2: have money, you're saying.
Speaker 4: I mean, we're trying to keep this light, but I mean,
Speaker 4: there's no way that's real.
Speaker 5: I don't believe.
Speaker 1: I think the reason I'm keeping his light because I
Speaker 1: think she's joking the whole time, like nobody's getting her
Speaker 1: like dry sense of humor.
Speaker 4: Okay, but she did just move. She told him that
Speaker 4: he had well, yeah, there is some evidence against her.
Speaker 2: Okay, can he ever meet your family.
Speaker 3: Will he even be able to find them?
Speaker 8: I doubt it.
Speaker 7: This is real, guys, this is real. She was serious
Speaker 7: what she told to be on date. She's serious what
Speaker 7: she's telling you to you now? Well, I think going
Speaker 7: to work and I've been seeing the same car go
Speaker 7: around and around in the in the route between my
Speaker 7: home and my office. I can't do this.
Speaker 2: Are you sure you're not being paranal? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Everybody owns a tesla, now, dude.
Speaker 2: Riskier than saying yes.
Speaker 4: The whole point of this call, Mark is to offer
Speaker 4: to send you out on another date with Megan, and
Speaker 4: we can't. We won't say where you're going, just because
Speaker 4: we want to keep you safe. So we'll use a
Speaker 4: code word like I'll a biblioteca.
Speaker 2: That's not code, that's Spanish.
Speaker 4: Means what do you think, Mark, there's lots of libraries.
Speaker 4: I'll never be able to tell.
Speaker 7: So I ran sprinting from a bookstore to get away
Speaker 7: from this woman. I told you everything that I've told
Speaker 7: you on the phone. Right now, What is it that
Speaker 7: makes you think that I would say yes to another date.
Speaker 2: People will do anything for free stuff.
Speaker 3: Yes, you don't have to pay for me. I'm financially
Speaker 3: taken care of already.
Speaker 4: Oh, an independent woman, I mean dirty money, but yeah independent.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure that they launder it.
Speaker 3: You guys been making light of this. But I'm gonna
Speaker 3: call you later. Mark, we're gonna hang.
Speaker 8: Out all the car pick you up.
Speaker 4: Oh, same car that's following him around the neighborhood, so
Speaker 4: you'll know which one it is. Mark, just hop in.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, you just.
Speaker 10: Brok and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4: Her delivery was interesting there.
Speaker 2: She was joking, right.
Speaker 4: It's hard to say because listening back to it again,
Speaker 4: I think she was probably unhappy with Mark for saying
Speaker 4: that information on the air because she said criminal passed.
Speaker 4: He said cartel, So there is a difference.
Speaker 1: But why would you go on a radio show. It's like,
Speaker 1: it's just crazy to me.
Speaker 4: Maybe she just didn't think that the information would come
Speaker 4: out that way, so she had to play it like, Oh,
Speaker 4: I'm joking, guys, because someone could hear this, and now
Speaker 4: everyone who works on your show is in jeopardy. So
Speaker 4: I'm kidding. Take the hand. I have a solution.
Speaker 5: If you are in the cartel text us right now,
Speaker 5: is anybody you're in trouble?
Speaker 10: Yeah, we like to know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're pretty straight.
Speaker 4: For yeah, because that's the thing. We're not good at
Speaker 4: taking hits.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We still don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4: We are not sure, but all we know is Meghan
Speaker 4: did not get another date. Although Brook there is a
Speaker 4: dark van outside the station with a bunch of guys
Speaker 4: who say they're big fans and they want to talk
Speaker 4: to you privately. So I don't know what that's about.
Speaker 2: Do I need a safety word or I'm.
Speaker 4: Sure you're fired. They want you to sign some shirts
Speaker 4: of that right anyway, if you want some help, you
Speaker 4: can always email the show. We can call that person
Speaker 4: who's not calling you back and go check out all
Speaker 4: of our second dates wherever you get your podcasts. They're
Speaker 4: available at Brook and Jeffrey
