Speaker 1: Second date of date. I feel like super important. When
Speaker 1: you're first starting to date someone, you need to be
Speaker 1: able to keep the momentum going. Yeah, like after a
Speaker 1: good first date, you need to see him again sooner
Speaker 1: rather than later.
Speaker 2: Is not too soon?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, wait too long?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because if you wait, the spark could fizzle out,
Speaker 1: or somebody else could swoop in, or in my case,
Speaker 1: your mom calls and asks, why aren't you going out
Speaker 1: with that person again? I've already FaceTime and then multiple
Speaker 1: pictures of you as a baby.
Speaker 3: That legitimately checks out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, your mom messaged me at two am the other day.
Speaker 1: You're not getting an old video of you?
Speaker 3: Did you get that too?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I got it too.
Speaker 1: Yeah I did it. And you're not even a romantic interest.
Speaker 1: Just imagine what it's like. Oh yeah, not yet. But anyway,
Speaker 1: Isabella emailed the show. Isabella, I'm hoping your mom isn't
Speaker 1: involved in your dating life like mine usually is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not so much.
Speaker 1: Lucky, Isabella, you have a chance that well, we want
Speaker 1: to hear all about your romantic ball and how we
Speaker 1: can keep it moving, So tell us about it. That
Speaker 1: was pretty much the smoothest transition I've ever done.
Speaker 2: It's a romantic ball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, where are you at the ball of romance with
Speaker 3: the ball?
Speaker 4: Well, I just went on a date with this guy
Speaker 4: named Jason that I met on an app okay, and
Speaker 4: it was a pretty good date, like first dates all around.
Speaker 4: He had this interesting idea to go to this place
Speaker 4: that I've never heard of before. It's like a hole
Speaker 4: in the wall place, but it's really to drink and
Speaker 4: play a bunch of board games.
Speaker 3: Oh that's so fun.
Speaker 2: Is good?
Speaker 5: It isn't.
Speaker 2: But anything different, like a different theme of a bar,
Speaker 2: a different you.
Speaker 3: Know, Like my husband and I once tried to do
Speaker 3: a board game bar place and we walked in and
Speaker 3: it was way more serious than we were expecting. Like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, it was like one of those where
Speaker 3: it's like this is an eighteen round game where you
Speaker 3: make up things and there's just I don't know.
Speaker 2: Like risk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: You know. This isn't your dating life. This is about Isabella.
Speaker 2: I'm relating.
Speaker 6: Jeff.
Speaker 1: You say you said your experience wasn't very fun, Isabella,
Speaker 1: how was yours?
Speaker 4: Well, this place was a little different. Like when you
Speaker 4: go in, they make you fill out a survey about
Speaker 4: your personality.
Speaker 1: Oh, board games and surveys. Yeah, talk about.
Speaker 3: They need your Like why would they need to know
Speaker 3: your personality?
Speaker 4: Because they want to pick a board game for you
Speaker 4: based on your personality.
Speaker 5: So like me, I would get like, what's it called
Speaker 5: the rat track? They would kick you out, and then
Speaker 5: you know, somebod else.
Speaker 3: Would get like, sorry, it's like the algorithm in real life.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you failed out that what what board game?
Speaker 1: Did the survey come back and tell you to play?
Speaker 6: Well, they were.
Speaker 4: Picking out really weird ones that I've never heard of,
Speaker 4: something about tadpoles and it this weird, weird game. So
Speaker 4: we just went with you know, a classic taboo Ta Hungry.
Speaker 3: Hungry Hippos is taboo fun to play with only two people.
Speaker 4: We had to make up our own roles a little bit,
Speaker 4: but it was kind of a good way to kind
Speaker 4: of learn about each other a little bit.
Speaker 1: Okay, can you explain really short with taboos because I
Speaker 1: don't think I know.
Speaker 4: So, like I would pick a card and then try
Speaker 4: to get him to guess the word on the card
Speaker 4: by not saying certain words.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like you need to guess Christmas, but
Speaker 3: you can't say Santa Claus.
Speaker 1: It's like charades, but you're using talking.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it was fun. And then we made a
Speaker 4: little jet.
Speaker 2: That's cute.
Speaker 1: Okay, what was it?
Speaker 4: Bet? We were like, whoever loses the next round has
Speaker 4: to go around and bust everyone in like tables, like
Speaker 4: their drinks and.
Speaker 2: Their son, because it also helps the bar. Like that's
Speaker 2: really fun.
Speaker 3: I love it and it's embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, sorry, can I take your plates? Everyone? That's
Speaker 2: really fun?
Speaker 1: Who won?
Speaker 3: I won? Okay, now we get to the reason why
Speaker 3: he's not calling you back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like I worked a ten hour shift.
Speaker 1: Did handle losing? Was he a good sport about it?
Speaker 4: Well, he actually seemed to kind of enjoy it, like
Speaker 4: he was a really good sport about it. He was
Speaker 4: kind of laughing and going around, and so the waitress
Speaker 4: was super happy and she just came to sit.
Speaker 1: With me and cute.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 4: It was fun. But then when he came back, he
Speaker 4: made a new bet and said, the next person that
Speaker 4: loses has to kiss the other person on his.
Speaker 2: Cheek okay, and then the mouth, and then.
Speaker 1: Well, at least someone's kind of romantic and not just embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cute.
Speaker 3: And it's cute that he did on the cheek. You know,
Speaker 3: there's not a lot of pressure for that.
Speaker 1: So who won that bet?
Speaker 4: I won again?
Speaker 1: So he had to kiss you on the cheek.
Speaker 4: Yes, Whenever he went to kiss me, I kind of turned.
Speaker 4: And then so we kicked on the list.
Speaker 1: You broke the rules, and then they kicked her out
Speaker 1: out of here.
Speaker 4: Was it cute?
Speaker 1: Did he like that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: It was cute.
Speaker 1: Okay, it sounds yeah, it's super fun.
Speaker 3: You connected, you guys laugh together, You shared a kiss
Speaker 3: you been on before.
Speaker 4: Yeah, afterwards, he tested me and said he wanted to
Speaker 4: see me again, and I was like, yeah, me too.
Speaker 3: Okay, So that same night he texted you that he
Speaker 3: wanted to see you again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, that's a good sign. But then he
Speaker 4: had to have head out of town for a week.
Speaker 4: And then when he got back from out of town,
Speaker 4: we made a plan to meet up at this bar
Speaker 4: and we'd only been there for about thirty minutes and
Speaker 4: he just kind of acting weird, and then he said
Speaker 4: he had to leave again. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: he has to go out of town for a couple
Speaker 4: of more weeks and he doesn't know when he's coming back,
Speaker 4: and it's a it's a kind.
Speaker 3: Of weird, like he doesn't know when he's coming back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's just it's.
Speaker 5: Okay, I do know, I have fu I do know
Speaker 5: of people that have jobs that will send them out
Speaker 5: and say, hey, why wouldn't know when you're coming back?
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't he just say that if it was? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, what do you think? What's your theory?
Speaker 4: I mean part of me thinks he's meeting up for
Speaker 4: like another girl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so how long has it been since you last
Speaker 1: saw him? Since that last date?
Speaker 4: It's been like two and a half weeks.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you guys, I feel like you've had one
Speaker 3: and a half dates because that second one sounded like
Speaker 3: it was so short that it doesn't even count.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, the window you're talking about, she's I think
Speaker 5: like that windows like a week, a week and a half.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that romance ball is slowing down to almost
Speaker 1: we're going to kick the ball and we're going to
Speaker 1: try and get this romance going again full spool way. Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna kick it in the direction of love. Okay,
Speaker 1: the metaphor works if you don't think too hard about it.
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep the ball of romance going with your
Speaker 1: second date. Update next second night to Bishop three left
Speaker 1: foot red Professor Plumb in the library with the lead pipe.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. The board games not traditionally considered a sexy
Speaker 1: first date.
Speaker 3: But that pipe got me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: For Isabella, she was able to make it work when
Speaker 1: she went out with a guy named Jason and they
Speaker 1: played what did they play?
Speaker 2: Taboo?
Speaker 1: Taboo? Yeah, which is I guess sexy in itself, just
Speaker 1: in the name. But after the date things have been
Speaker 1: cooling off a little bit. Jason has been in and
Speaker 1: out of town, hard to reach to figure out how
Speaker 1: to get that because I've gone on one and a
Speaker 1: half dates so far, hard to figure out how to
Speaker 1: get that second full date in, and she's hoping we
Speaker 1: can help her today. Isabella, how you feeling.
Speaker 4: I'm kind of nervous, but gide it okay.
Speaker 3: I mean it does sound like his interest is waning
Speaker 3: if he's like, I'm just out of town TBD, you know,
Speaker 3: like no information, So maybe this can get it back
Speaker 3: on track.
Speaker 4: I just got to want to know what is happening,
Speaker 4: and I can find if he needs to go, but
Speaker 4: I would like to know why or just what's going on.
Speaker 3: Right, I feel like you've invested enough time and energy
Speaker 3: that you deserve that answer.
Speaker 1: Sure, this is the good time to ask all those questions.
Speaker 1: We're going to call his number right now and see
Speaker 1: what he has to say. Okay, okay, and if not,
Speaker 1: there's always professor Plumpfers. So let's just do the number
Speaker 1: right now. Here we go, Hello, yoh is this Jason?
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, who's this?
Speaker 1: Hey? My name is Jeff from Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the Morning. Hey, uh what, Yeah, that's Brooke.
Speaker 3: I just wanted him to know that it wasn't just Jeff.
Speaker 6: There's like a bunch of people on the front.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you know radio stations, there's hundreds of
Speaker 1: them all over the world.
Speaker 3: And it sounds like you're talking down to him right now.
Speaker 1: Jason. We're a really really tiny one, not super respected
Speaker 1: in the industry, but we have four people on it, Alexis, Jose, Brooke,
Speaker 1: and I and our show kind of specializes in doing
Speaker 1: dating stuff.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay. I'm actually reading a lot about dating and
Speaker 6: to get better at it, So it's actually kind of
Speaker 6: cool you're calling me.
Speaker 3: Oh, you're doing like little self help books for reading
Speaker 3: that's awesome.
Speaker 6: Well, so, like I've been watching a lot of like
Speaker 6: relationship experts on YouTube, and I'm trying to do this
Speaker 6: new strategy.
Speaker 3: What is it? What's your new strategy?
Speaker 6: There's this one guy and he keeps talking about the
Speaker 6: difference between attraction and desire, and he's like, you can
Speaker 6: be attracted to someone when you're with them, but the
Speaker 6: only way to build desire is to spend time away
Speaker 6: from them.
Speaker 3: Oh like absence makes the heart grow fonder type.
Speaker 6: Of Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: I'm just warning I've heard this and I've spent like
Speaker 5: five years away from my actually still has.
Speaker 1: That's something that you're trying to practice in your life.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So there's this girl I've been hanging out with and
Speaker 6: I've been telling her I've been having to go out
Speaker 6: of town on business, but I'm actually just here at home.
Speaker 6: What I with the desirebildy.
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's kind of impressive.
Speaker 5: You have a job that you travel, because it sounds
Speaker 5: like you're an important person too.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean I work from home, but yeah, but
Speaker 6: he's making it okay.
Speaker 1: But you're telling her that you're going out of town
Speaker 1: because that makes you seem like ooh, unavailable. I'm unavailable
Speaker 1: and you should desire me.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean you know, it's like making her want
Speaker 6: what she can't have, and that's interesting.
Speaker 1: How do you feel like that strategy is working for you?
Speaker 6: I mean, she keeps trying to hang out with me,
Speaker 6: so it seems like.
Speaker 1: That's interesting.
Speaker 3: Jason. You can't just lie about where you're gonna be.
Speaker 3: That's not what the advice is. Man.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, but I have to come up with
Speaker 6: some reason for why I can't hanging out all the
Speaker 6: time and just say, hey.
Speaker 5: I'm going to be at home, but I don't want
Speaker 5: to hang out a week exactly exactly like you have
Speaker 5: to keep like momentum in dating, and it seems.
Speaker 3: Like you are giving big, long stretches of time in
Speaker 3: between where it feels like to these women that you're
Speaker 3: probably feels like you're ghosting them.
Speaker 6: So did you call it just like harass me about
Speaker 6: my strategy here?
Speaker 3: Like, what's I'll try to get it to work a
Speaker 3: little bit better for you, Jason.
Speaker 1: We just we want to help you, is really what
Speaker 1: it comes down to. I think, and I don't know,
Speaker 1: you said that you're like currently trying this on somebody.
Speaker 1: Do you mind if we ask her name.
Speaker 6: Her name is a Belle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's all. That is so weird because Jason, you're
Speaker 1: not going to believe this, But there's an Isabella on
Speaker 1: the other line right now that's been listening to this
Speaker 1: entire conversation, burning with desire to talk.
Speaker 3: We just burned what.
Speaker 1: Oh there she is.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is kind of not cool.
Speaker 1: Books, look YouTube page and find out what to do next. Jason. Oh,
Speaker 1: I got Jason.
Speaker 3: It is cool because she's interested in you. She wants
Speaker 3: to see you.
Speaker 1: Yes, your plan is working.
Speaker 4: Well, now I'm a little bit weird. Aow. It seems
Speaker 4: like a game.
Speaker 6: I mean, now I can't no, I mean it's it's
Speaker 6: not a game. It's I like you and I was
Speaker 6: trying to get you to like me too.
Speaker 4: And do you think it's like do you think that's
Speaker 4: a good strategy that you learned from YouTube?
Speaker 6: I mean, well, you caught a radio station to find
Speaker 6: out what was going on with me, so it seems like.
Speaker 1: You argue with that.
Speaker 2: Defeated right now, she.
Speaker 3: Thought that you were like cheating on her or something
Speaker 3: you had like a second family somewhere because she.
Speaker 1: Wants him so bad.
Speaker 6: We only went on one date, and I don't know
Speaker 6: how I could have been cheating on her, but you
Speaker 6: kind of.
Speaker 1: Went on one and a half dates from what is about?
Speaker 1: Told us?
Speaker 3: Why did you leave a half an hour into that
Speaker 3: second date? Jason?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought it would be a good way to
Speaker 6: build anticipation for the next day. Doesn't tell like you.
Speaker 6: Guys have a million subscribers like the guy I'm following
Speaker 6: on YouTube, so I really need to take it from you.
Speaker 3: Take it from Isabella. Isabella, are you enjoying him pushing
Speaker 3: you away?
Speaker 4: I don't think your YouTube guy is very smart. I mean,
Speaker 4: is he in a relationship? Does he have a girlfriend?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Wait, okay, Model, if.
Speaker 6: You were supposed to hear any of this, if you
Speaker 6: hadn't been on the line, things would be going great.
Speaker 6: You'd still be he really anticipating our next date?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, should be confused.
Speaker 4: Though, Yeah, I wouldn't consider that going great.
Speaker 6: I mean what, I just have the wait two more
Speaker 6: days to get your desire to the peak level, and
Speaker 6: then I was gonna make plans with oh, I said clank.
Speaker 1: After almost three weeks, I was almost about to call you, Isabella.
Speaker 1: You jumped the gun.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're you're messing this off for both of us.
Speaker 3: I actually, Isabella, I think this is kind of sweet,
Speaker 3: Like he's obviously taking this advice maybe a little too literally,
Speaker 3: but he put in a lot of effort to try
Speaker 3: to get you to like him because he likes you. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I think that's the sweet thing. Like you just
Speaker 3: need to be yourself, Jason, not listen to some YouTube dude.
Speaker 6: Possibly, but honestly, this this is working. The evidence is
Speaker 6: a parent.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's kind of working on Isabella because
Speaker 1: she does seem still interested. But how many other women
Speaker 1: are you doing this too? Right now? Is Isabella the
Speaker 1: only one?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean yeah, no, I'm not doing it anybody,
Speaker 6: but yes, is the only person I'm seeing right now.
Speaker 4: I don't know you count because I haven't seen you
Speaker 4: in like two and a half weeks.
Speaker 1: Well, we have the power to change that for you,
Speaker 1: because we will offer to send you guys out on
Speaker 1: another date and we'll pay for that.
Speaker 6: I mean, I always wanted to go on another date.
Speaker 6: I just I just had to wait to come.
Speaker 3: We promised, Yeah, we promised not to leave during the
Speaker 3: date to heighten her desire or whatever your goal is.
Speaker 6: I think I can I just need to watch the
Speaker 6: next video in the series to figure.
Speaker 2: Out finished the series before you tested it.
Speaker 1: Okay, but he's saying yes to another date, Isabella, are
Speaker 1: you still interested? Well, it sounds like he actually likes you.
Speaker 1: He just doesn't know how to handle it.
Speaker 2: I'll give him.
Speaker 3: At least he's putting some effort in dude, which most don't.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, it's kind of cute and kind of funny.
Speaker 4: But if you ditched the YouTube and whoever this guy is,
Speaker 4: then yeah another.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well there you go, and as well, I just
Speaker 1: thought of something funny that you could do. You could
Speaker 1: leave halfway through the date now and have him burning
Speaker 1: with desire for you.
Speaker 2: It's called toxic.
Speaker 3: Cyclone.
Speaker 1: It's called love the romance Ball of Love, and we've
Speaker 1: got it back in motion.
Speaker 3: Everybody, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
