Speaker 1: Second dat day. I feel like a lot of people
Speaker 1: get a little bit anxious about finding their soulmate. Ohhh yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. They want it to happen as soon as possible.
Speaker 1: So to make that happen, they'll join ten different dating apps,
Speaker 1: hit fourteen different bars every weekend, scrawl their phone number
Speaker 1: on the wall of a public restroom in their own blood.
Speaker 1: Open somebody sees it, but out there. Yeah. There's a
Speaker 1: saying about this though, that when you least expect it,
Speaker 1: love will actually find you. I know, and it's true
Speaker 1: because I'm always like, okay, act like you don't expect it,
Speaker 1: you don't expect it. Well, apparently that's what happened for
Speaker 1: one of our listeners, Derek. And we've done so many
Speaker 1: of these. I've never heard of a couple meeting this way.
Speaker 1: This is pretty crazy, but Derek's on with us. Derek,
Speaker 1: what's the girl's name and how did you meet her?
Speaker 1: Her name is Katie, And actually matter because she came
Speaker 1: knocking at my door. What shut up? Really? She just
Speaker 1: came up and knocked and was like, Hi, I'd like
Speaker 1: to be in a relationship with you, stranger. Let's get
Speaker 1: more details what happened. It was my doorbell was ringing
Speaker 1: and there was knocking, So I was just like, who's that.
Speaker 1: You sound like a pretty chill dude, Yeah, because that
Speaker 1: sounds like a panicked person at your door if the
Speaker 1: knock and the doorbell are going at the same time. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she actually was pretty panicked. Um, she asked if she
Speaker 1: could come in because someone was following her. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's scary. It's super scary. What happened You let her in? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: she seemed pretty preaked up, and yeah, I didn't want
Speaker 1: to leave her out there. Oh my god. Honestly, if
Speaker 1: the best option is a stranger's door, oh yeah, something
Speaker 1: bad is happening. Yeah, seriously. What happened next? Well, I
Speaker 1: let her in and I had her sit down at
Speaker 1: my dinner table. Okay, did she want to call the
Speaker 1: cops or something? It was like her ex After her no,
Speaker 1: I asked her if I could call the cops for
Speaker 1: her or anybody. Now. She says she was good, and
Speaker 1: after things calmed down, we got to know each other. Okay.
Speaker 1: It was kind of weird because like we were vibing.
Speaker 1: In the movies, you see stuff like this, I know
Speaker 1: they say they say that like those really intense situations
Speaker 1: like if you go skydiving with somebody or you have
Speaker 1: this big adrenaline rush it and really like bond two
Speaker 1: people together. Yeah, but she was the only one that
Speaker 1: was having them. Well, I was pretty freaked up for
Speaker 1: her too, so I was kind of nervous myself. I
Speaker 1: didn't know what to do. I mean, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to put myself in your shoes, Derek, And that
Speaker 1: would be a pretty intense situation to open the door
Speaker 1: and then have those problems come into your house and
Speaker 1: having to deal with that, Like, I mean, good on you.
Speaker 1: I feel like someone's chasing you and I shut the door. Whoever,
Speaker 1: you're joking, I don't know that you are, sorry, Derek. So, anyway,
Speaker 1: you were talking to her, helping her calm down, and
Speaker 1: you felt like you were having a connection. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: just one of those unfathomable things that happened. And then
Speaker 1: you just sitting there like she was laughing and giggling.
Speaker 1: So okay, so you're able to turn her mood around. Yeah.
Speaker 1: How long did she end up hanging out at your place? Well,
Speaker 1: she was there for about a half hour, So I
Speaker 1: just wanted to make sure she was calm. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that would be a weird time to ask
Speaker 1: her out on a date, right. Did you ask her
Speaker 1: out then? Oh? I didn't think of that. No, I
Speaker 1: didn't ask her out. Probably strong. I just asked her
Speaker 1: if she needed to ride home and she said no, thanks.
Speaker 1: So did she ever tell you, like exactly why she
Speaker 1: was so frantic? No. The only thing she told me
Speaker 1: was that she felt like she was being followed by somebody,
Speaker 1: and she wouldn't go in any detail spots. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to push it. Yeah, let her be comfortable whatever
Speaker 1: she wants to share. So how did your interaction? And
Speaker 1: before she left she touched my arm? I work out
Speaker 1: a lot coming, you're like, yeah, I had to flex
Speaker 1: when she touched it. Yeah. So I gave her my
Speaker 1: number and I told her when she got home to
Speaker 1: just text me and let me know if she got home. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: I do that too. I think it's a really good movie,
Speaker 1: especially in her situation. Well, and you can continue your
Speaker 1: conversation that way. Did she follow up on that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty minutes later she texted me back and she just
Speaker 1: said that she's home and thank you for helping me out.
Speaker 1: So yeah, ever since that, I can't stop thinking about her.
Speaker 1: Have you asked her out? Have you asked her to
Speaker 1: go out on an official date where people aren't chasing her.
Speaker 1: It's like you can kind of read through text messages
Speaker 1: and I don't feel like she wants to reciprocate it,
Speaker 1: like how I want to. That's why I reached out
Speaker 1: to you, guys. She said she's a couple of blocks away,
Speaker 1: and right now I'm thinking about moving. And I know
Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy, but I don't want to be
Speaker 1: forty minutes away. There's potential here. Yeah, oh wow, you
Speaker 1: really liked her. Stay where you're at. If you knew
Speaker 1: she was close, well, if they were gonna maybe be
Speaker 1: in a relationship, I can understand that. Yeah, if she
Speaker 1: wanted to reciprocate it. So I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: you moved, man, I think you moved. And then you
Speaker 1: wait and if she comes knocking on your door again,
Speaker 1: then you know that it was fate. Yeah, from the universe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: move six times and if she finds you with each Wow,
Speaker 1: it's certain. Yeah that's what you need. Well, let's do this. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna play a song, we'll come back, we'll call
Speaker 1: Katie for you, and we'll try and get you your
Speaker 1: second date. Update. All right, man, thanks for this. I
Speaker 1: was kind of worried if you guys weren't gonna do this,
Speaker 1: so we got your kind of excited. Yeah, yeah, all,
Speaker 1: here we go. Everybody knows the classic romantic fairy tale
Speaker 1: where a beautiful damsel in distress locked away in a
Speaker 1: tower gets saved by a gallant, handsome knight and shining armor.
Speaker 1: He rescues her from the throes of danger. They fall
Speaker 1: in love and live happily ever after. That the lies
Speaker 1: we were told as children because most of the time,
Speaker 1: the damsel doesn't knock on the front door of the
Speaker 1: knight's castle and ask to be let in. Because that's
Speaker 1: actually what happened to one of our listeners, Derek, who
Speaker 1: helped a woman named Katie after she knocked at his
Speaker 1: door and asked to be let inside because somebody was
Speaker 1: following her. Why doesn't this happen to any of us guys.
Speaker 1: How about to start knocking on doors. We need people
Speaker 1: to just help us out. We have people knock on
Speaker 1: doors and not the damsels I'm looking for. But now
Speaker 1: we're gonna try and call Katie and see if there's
Speaker 1: any romantic connection that she's feeling with Derek, because she
Speaker 1: definitely felt a little bit with her. Yeah for sure, Derek.
Speaker 1: Are you nervous? How are you feeling? It's not every
Speaker 1: day you get the girl just coming up knocking on
Speaker 1: your door. Yeah, and she touched your arm, bro Yeah,
Speaker 1: just thinking about it. I mean, Derek, I didn't if
Speaker 1: we didn't ever ask, like, do you know that she's single? Oh?
Speaker 1: I didn't see any rings or anything on earth on
Speaker 1: her fingers, So Harry still available? She wasn't branded. Yes,
Speaker 1: maybe this is a good question to ask her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it could be a simple Yeah. So we're gonna call
Speaker 1: her number and we're gonna try and get your second
Speaker 1: day up date. You ready, ma'am? Yep? Okay, here we go. Hello, Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm looking for Kate. This is she. Hi Katie. My
Speaker 1: name's Jeffrey from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the Morning. How are you doing today? I'm doing okay. Good.
Speaker 1: That's good to hear. Can I ask why your calling?
Speaker 1: Of course you can. We're doing a segment on our
Speaker 1: show called a second date Update. Have you ever heard
Speaker 1: of that before? Yeah? I have heard of those before. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's so great. Yeah, that's awesome. We don't get that
Speaker 1: all the time. Thank you for listening, Katie. I don't
Speaker 1: think i've heard you guys do it. I heard other
Speaker 1: shows do it? Okay, Oh yeah, I am retracting my
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, that's all right. But I guess you're
Speaker 1: familiar with how this works. It's where if you go
Speaker 1: out with somebody and afterwards, if they're not calling you back,
Speaker 1: you can email our show and we'll reach out to
Speaker 1: that person for you to try and figure out the
Speaker 1: reason why they've been avoiding you. Then why are you
Speaker 1: calling me? Well, because a guy reached out to us
Speaker 1: that technically you didn't really go on a date with him,
Speaker 1: but you did have an interaction with him and he
Speaker 1: felt a connection during it. His name is Derek. Do
Speaker 1: you remember. No, you went too his house and knocked
Speaker 1: on his door Atlantic Oh. Um, like he told us
Speaker 1: a big, harrowing story about how you guys met, that
Speaker 1: you felt like you were being followed and you knocked
Speaker 1: on his door in a panic, hoping to be let
Speaker 1: in just to get away from whoever was following you.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Let me interrupt you. I am not
Speaker 1: interested and I think there is a disconnection there, So
Speaker 1: I'm not interested. Thank you for calling me? Well, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, that's okay if you're not interested. But Derek
Speaker 1: told us that he felt like there was a flirtation
Speaker 1: going on when he let you inside and you know,
Speaker 1: gave you shelter. They is that not right? Okay? When
Speaker 1: he let you sit at his table read the room?
Speaker 1: Wrong is what it sounds like. I mean, were you
Speaker 1: attracted to him at any point? I know that your
Speaker 1: mind was probably on other things, other things, Brook are
Speaker 1: you talking about so weird? It's honestly, it wasn't that
Speaker 1: big of a gel that it's being made out to be. Um.
Speaker 1: I may have given off that vibe, but I just
Speaker 1: am kind of a gregarious person. So really, honestly, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm not interested or available. You only go after greg's
Speaker 1: so gregarious means friendly, you know. Oh, goie, that doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense. You're getting her followed? She she said,
Speaker 1: you were You're handicked, not gregarious. No, Um, nobody's following me.
Speaker 1: Why then, why were you knocking on his door? A family? That? Um?
Speaker 1: What happened? Well, we live in you know, nearby neighborhoods,
Speaker 1: and it's okay, No, we love awful. You should well.
Speaker 1: I had heard to the rape vine from our neighbors
Speaker 1: that Derek was planning on potentially putting his house on
Speaker 1: the market soon, and um, I just didn't know if
Speaker 1: he had a real estate agent yet, shut up, I
Speaker 1: don't get it. I'm a realtor, and I have to
Speaker 1: preface this by saying, you know, it was obviously an
Speaker 1: extreme way to meet a potential client. But it's a
Speaker 1: tough market right now, and you know, I'm married, I've
Speaker 1: got kids, I have to help with my family, and
Speaker 1: so it was just an opportunity. Oh, you were being
Speaker 1: followed so that you could sell his house. Oh that's okay,
Speaker 1: now I get it. But now, oh my god, so
Speaker 1: you try to use him? Well, yeah, a that's close enough.
Speaker 1: You'll get there. You'll get there, Katie. Okay, So no,
Speaker 1: nobody was following you. You weren't in danger. You were
Speaker 1: just trying to find out if he already had somebody
Speaker 1: lined up to sell his house for him. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I haven't told him. I decided to like step
Speaker 1: back and kind of ditch that entire plan. I'd seen
Speaker 1: a real estate card on his counter and we, you know,
Speaker 1: talked briefly about it, and so I just let it
Speaker 1: be and chalked it up to a weird and wild
Speaker 1: idea and bad experience. But we never had a conversation
Speaker 1: about me potentially representing him. Oh man, Katie, you are sneaky.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, up with him, But I gotta let you know.
Speaker 1: Turns out Derek's also a little bit sneaky. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I need to tell you. He's been on the
Speaker 1: other line listening to everything that you said and now
Speaker 1: he wants to talk to you. Ye oh my god, Yeah, Katie,
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Yes, I'm married. I am so sorry.
Speaker 1: It's you know, it is a tough market and my job.
Speaker 1: Your home is so beautiful, and I thought I could
Speaker 1: really get some strong offers in there for you if
Speaker 1: you didn't have representation. But I saw that you did,
Speaker 1: and so I just let it go. Wow, I didn't
Speaker 1: see a ring on your finger when you came into
Speaker 1: my place, so um. You know, often times when I'm
Speaker 1: doing real estate stuff, I take the ring off. It's
Speaker 1: just easier for conversation. Oh wow, that's actually pretty common
Speaker 1: in our industry, isn't It might make me buy a
Speaker 1: house top. But isn't there like a better method, like
Speaker 1: I don't know, knocking on the door and saying hi,
Speaker 1: I'm Katie. I am a real estate agent and I
Speaker 1: would like to help you. Bo I did sorry? You
Speaker 1: know that approach often because it work. You would be
Speaker 1: surprised how many people just slam the door in your face.
Speaker 1: And I don't know, the idea just kind of came
Speaker 1: into my head. I thought I would try it and
Speaker 1: it just went horribly wrong. But that seals and change
Speaker 1: the fact that I can guarantee that I can get
Speaker 1: a higher price hold for him than his current agent. Oh,
Speaker 1: you're still selling absolutely? What do you think? I'm dumbfounded.
Speaker 1: People have to trust you. There's no trust. You lost
Speaker 1: that trust, and you shouldn't just came out and asked
Speaker 1: me that like a normal person. But you've probably on
Speaker 1: some meads or something. Trust is an interesting thing, Derek.
Speaker 1: But how much is it really worse? I mean to you,
Speaker 1: the cell of your home? Is it worth an extra
Speaker 1: twenty thirty maybe forty thousand dollars? So that's what I
Speaker 1: could do for you? Wow? Rick buyers for you? You're
Speaker 1: You're good. Oh, definitely have a thing about that. What
Speaker 1: you can get me forty grand more. Im some creative methods.
Speaker 1: It's gonna tie yourself up in the closet during the
Speaker 1: open house. Pretty funny, but it could be even, you know,
Speaker 1: potentially more than forty. So I'm glad he had this
Speaker 1: conversation and Derek got my number. Oh wow, Well, I
Speaker 1: mean this is going a lot better than it was
Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes ago. So at this point,
Speaker 1: I mean I would normally ask to send you guys
Speaker 1: out on a second day. Yeah, but like a business
Speaker 1: coffee or something. Can we do that? Katie's married? How well,
Speaker 1: how serious is the marriage is it? Yeah? How serious
Speaker 1: is it? You get bigger arms than Derek? Oh? Are
Speaker 1: you really that attached to your kids? You guys, we're
Speaker 1: not asking a married woman if she wants to go out.
Speaker 1: I ask her if she wants to be his real
Speaker 1: estate agent. Man, fine, we'll do that. How about we
Speaker 1: send you guys out on a business meet up to
Speaker 1: discuss potential realty? There you go? What do you say, Katie?
Speaker 1: I can that's non fantastic of course, all right, he's
Speaker 1: on board. Now, Derek, what do you say? Yeah, I'm down.
Speaker 1: And then we'll see what happens, No, Derek, is it
Speaker 1: weird that a lady faked being chased around and now
Speaker 1: she's ending up fifty thousand dollars potentially Richard from it
Speaker 1: is firing girls. You guys wouldn't have opened the door,
Speaker 1: is what you told us earlier. I'll learned my lesson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
