Speaker 1: The second dat date.
Speaker 2: In previous second date calls, we've heard of people visiting
Speaker 2: a cemetery for a date. Oh yeah, remember the guy
Speaker 2: that wanted to introduce the girl to his grandparents.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so he took her to meet them.
Speaker 3: Sweet, like maybe a couple of years into your relationship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little intense for the first date. We've also
Speaker 2: heard about people stopping in on a funeral in the
Speaker 2: middle of their date because they forgot that they double
Speaker 2: booked it.
Speaker 1: And we're like, we can get back.
Speaker 2: To the bar just a second, but I have to
Speaker 2: make Chris stop just real quick.
Speaker 1: I just have to be seen here.
Speaker 3: You can get a free bouquet flower zone for your dates.
Speaker 2: They don't know, Jose, but you know, I don't think
Speaker 2: we've ever heard about two people meeting at a funeral before.
Speaker 2: So this is definitely a Brook and Jeffrey first. And
Speaker 2: one of our listeners, Julia, says it just happened to her.
Speaker 2: So Julia, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hi guys, Hey, with my background, I just have to
Speaker 3: ask you weren't related, right, No, it.
Speaker 4: Wasn't a kissing cousins situation. I'm glad to say that
Speaker 4: at least.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, who is this guy that you met?
Speaker 4: So I met Rick at a funeral?
Speaker 3: Is it bad to ask that before we asked who died?
Speaker 3: Or do we don't ask who died? Is that weird?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 1: I don't know them. Sorry? Was it someone in your family?
Speaker 4: It was not someone my family. It was a good
Speaker 4: friend of mine. It's her colleague that passed away. Okay,
Speaker 4: she said she really didn't want to go by herself.
Speaker 4: And last place I thought I was going to meet
Speaker 4: someone I'll be honest with.
Speaker 1: Oh, I know it's in Alexis's top five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty emotional and vulnerable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but look at her, an.
Speaker 3: Old rich guy that's close to the same thing.
Speaker 2: Dress with the crop top black dress.
Speaker 3: Didn't wear that's my funeral. That's okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, sorry, I know this is of a serious topic.
Speaker 1: But so how did you meet Rick?
Speaker 4: So it's a tiny event. There's like maybe twenty five
Speaker 4: thirty people, and I'm kind of people watching, and I
Speaker 4: look up and here's this like super cute, sensitive guy.
Speaker 4: And something in me said, when he's going to find
Speaker 4: someone that's showing like this vulnerable side to them?
Speaker 1: Who oh he was looking vulnerable?
Speaker 3: Well, I can't imagine some stove dude going and not cry.
Speaker 2: I haven't cried at a funeral and in a while
Speaker 2: you haven't. No, I got it. I got an appearance to
Speaker 2: a poll.
Speaker 3: I guess it is more rare than alexis, And I figure,
Speaker 3: how do you strike up a conversation with him because
Speaker 3: you don't know him?
Speaker 4: Well, it was like a private event, so there was
Speaker 4: like a viewing room and then there was like a
Speaker 4: little reception area with some snacks.
Speaker 1: Did you walk up to him and came here often?
Speaker 1: Oh god, hopefully that's a joke.
Speaker 5: What did you do a little bit like that?
Speaker 4: I went in and I just thought, let me go
Speaker 4: say hello. So we started to chatting, just like superficial
Speaker 4: like surface stuff.
Speaker 1: Was what was his vibe?
Speaker 2: Getting chatted up in the middle of the funeral by
Speaker 2: a cute girl crying like, yeah.
Speaker 1: My name's Rick.
Speaker 4: I think it gave him like a moment of distraction
Speaker 4: because he was so upset. Yeah, it was a beautiful
Speaker 4: day and there was like a little park outside, so
Speaker 4: I don't know who brought it up, but we decided
Speaker 4: why not get some fresh air and just kind of
Speaker 4: do a lap around the park.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so he was thinking, what you were thinking,
Speaker 3: like don't you think you guys? I mean, like if
Speaker 3: if a pretty girl you don't know comes up to
Speaker 3: you at a funeral, like.
Speaker 1: Why would you You wouldn't live with her?
Speaker 3: Like if your whole family's there and all your friends like.
Speaker 2: We Sometimes if you're wound up in that emotional situation,
Speaker 2: it just helps to get out of there for a second,
Speaker 2: have a chance to breathe and decompressed, rather than being
Speaker 2: stuck in a room and feeling all those.
Speaker 3: But not with someone you just met.
Speaker 2: If you want to be picky about who you take
Speaker 2: your walks with. How was How was the walk?
Speaker 4: It was great. We were like chatting, you know, we
Speaker 4: were kind of like just getting to know each other.
Speaker 4: And so I brought up the person that passed and
Speaker 4: just kind of asked him like how he knew her?
Speaker 3: That's a pretty normal question at a funeral.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's when he got really emotional. So okay,
Speaker 4: I went in, you know, just to give him a hug,
Speaker 4: you know, for comfort, and we did kiss.
Speaker 3: Whoa wow, I told you kiss from all the day?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, is this the date?
Speaker 3: Like did you guys you made out.
Speaker 4: At the This is so weird, Like we just had
Speaker 4: one innocent kiss. It was okay, it was yeah. We
Speaker 4: it didn't get heavy or anything like that. And once
Speaker 4: we got back into you know, the room, I jokingly
Speaker 4: said to him, Hey, maybe next time, you know, we'll
Speaker 4: meet outside of a funeral.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, because you know this is this is where
Speaker 3: I get.
Speaker 1: This is working for? What did he say?
Speaker 4: So we exchanged numbers all right, and everything seemed fine.
Speaker 4: And now I can't get a hold of them.
Speaker 1: Okay, how long has it been.
Speaker 4: It's been about a week.
Speaker 3: Okay, this is the one time we can't say she
Speaker 3: got ghosted. Oh yeah, yeah, right today Okay.
Speaker 2: And there's no chance there or any other like cute
Speaker 2: girls at the funeral.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 4: No, there really wasn't a lot of other people there.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's just still trying to process it all.
Speaker 3: You know, that's a lot of emotion in one day.
Speaker 4: That's fair, that's fair. I just kind of I'm curious this.
Speaker 4: Did I really cross the line? Am Iami head. I
Speaker 4: just I'm dying to know with the other.
Speaker 2: All right, boy, I'm trying to figure out the right,
Speaker 2: if I way to say this. We'll put your your
Speaker 2: anxieties to rest. No, I don't know. We'll get answers. Okay,
Speaker 2: you're hopefully more uplifting second date update.
Speaker 3: Yes, let's morbid second date updates exactly.
Speaker 1: We'll do it right after this.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, thanks guys, Okay, hold on, I'll be honest.
Speaker 2: The most shocking part of what we just heard after
Speaker 2: Julia met a guy at a funeral is the fact
Speaker 2: that all of my co hosts seem to be totally
Speaker 2: cool with it.
Speaker 6: What do you mean what?
Speaker 1: I'm surprised.
Speaker 2: I thought somebody here would take issue with an impro
Speaker 2: do funeral hookup.
Speaker 3: If people get horny at my funeral, I say, go
Speaker 3: for it.
Speaker 4: Get dressed up anyway, make up paradigm.
Speaker 1: It's definitely unique.
Speaker 2: Is the only one who's like kind of reserved about it?
Speaker 1: Wishes they went farther.
Speaker 3: You know, the only thing life is guaranteed, Jeff is
Speaker 3: death taxes.
Speaker 1: You open.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not usually a turn onto people, though, Brook,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess I underestimate this group how
Speaker 2: down you are for anything? And I said, I said
Speaker 2: hook up, that's kind of a strong word.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's an innocent kiss that proves love can blossom anywhere.
Speaker 1: That's right, even from death.
Speaker 3: Usually that's pretty fertile ground.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Julia, if we were, I'm sure it's a serious
Speaker 1: thing to cry.
Speaker 3: I mean, what's your option?
Speaker 1: I apologize for Brook first of all.
Speaker 4: Okay, I kind of get it all right now, if.
Speaker 2: We are able to get you a second date, are
Speaker 2: you excited to tell your future grandkids that you frenched
Speaker 2: their father above a tombstone.
Speaker 1: That a tasteful French in it, Julia?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am. He's just super cute and sensitive and
Speaker 4: that's like what I was trying to attract. So there
Speaker 4: he is. Sorry I met a funeral.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know, we'll be respectful when he's on
Speaker 3: the phone, because he did get emotional when you brought
Speaker 3: up the person that passed. Like, we don't want to
Speaker 3: We don't want to hurt his feelings or you know,
Speaker 3: make him upset.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, I don't want to be a jerk. You
Speaker 4: don't be insensitive.
Speaker 2: But unless he's a jerk to us first, then well if.
Speaker 1: He starts it, I can't help myself like higher, no,
Speaker 1: going low?
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm worried about this call. Hello, Hey, we're
Speaker 2: looking for Rick.
Speaker 5: Uh this is Rick was Colin?
Speaker 2: Hey Rick, my name is jeff from a radio show
Speaker 2: called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 3: Hey, Ricky, good morning.
Speaker 5: Uh hey, what's going on?
Speaker 2: We were past some security footage from a local cemetery
Speaker 2: and what we saw something interesting happen there.
Speaker 3: We heard I don't like the angle over taken here?
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you don't.
Speaker 2: I think you justinded We're a radio show and to
Speaker 2: do a silly segment called second Date Update.
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, I know that was a lot. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: went all over the place.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: This is a segment where we try and help out
Speaker 2: our listeners who've met someone or been on a date
Speaker 2: with someone they really liked, try and get another date
Speaker 2: and figure out why it hasn't happened yet. So the
Speaker 2: cemetery I was talking about was where you met Julia,
Speaker 2: one of our listeners.
Speaker 6: Julia.
Speaker 1: It was about a week ago.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I remember Julia.
Speaker 3: What was that like for you? Meeting Julia?
Speaker 6: I mean, she was great, really, I didn't know how long,
Speaker 6: but we really vibed a lot of that is a funeral.
Speaker 2: You know, we get the sense that you may have
Speaker 2: liked her a little bit, because rumor has it you
Speaker 2: two kissed.
Speaker 4: Oh man.
Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, guys, I'm gonna it's just kind of a
Speaker 6: weird situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was definitely unique.
Speaker 3: I bet you didn't expect that to happen that day.
Speaker 5: Well, for sure. Not Listen.
Speaker 6: I just feel guilty, and that's why I haven't called, uh,
Speaker 6: just because it.
Speaker 4: Was on a funeral.
Speaker 1: Are you in a relationship?
Speaker 3: That's it?
Speaker 5: No? No, I'm not at all.
Speaker 6: It's uh, it's a job thing job.
Speaker 3: You feel guilty of your job.
Speaker 5: I'm just going to be straight with you.
Speaker 6: I was hired by that person, the person who has
Speaker 6: passed away her family, to be a professional mourner at
Speaker 6: the event.
Speaker 1: What what professor say that?
Speaker 3: Slower say that slower?
Speaker 6: I was hired by that person's family to be a
Speaker 6: professional mourner the event.
Speaker 1: Okay, it even slower in the middle.
Speaker 3: You didn't know the person who died at the funeral?
Speaker 5: No, I've never another before.
Speaker 3: Oh why do they need you?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 3: Why did you get emotional? She said, you got emotional
Speaker 3: when you guys were going on the walk and you
Speaker 3: brought her us.
Speaker 5: Essentially, I am paid to be a mourner there.
Speaker 6: So what happens is I go to things like this,
Speaker 6: to a funeral, and I'm an actor I become emotional.
Speaker 3: Why why would people want that a funeral though? It's like, oh,
Speaker 3: Grandma wasn't that well loved. Can somebody cry for him?
Speaker 1: Like, I don't get she said it was a super
Speaker 1: tiny funeral. Maybe this makes sense. You might want one
Speaker 1: of these for you. Let's just keep this guessing.
Speaker 3: I'm forcing you to cry.
Speaker 1: I'll be a professional laugher at your funeral. Broug.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why that is a good question, though. Why do
Speaker 2: people hire you? What's the point?
Speaker 6: Well, sometimes it just makes a place look fuller. Sometimes
Speaker 6: people are less self conscious about getting emotional.
Speaker 5: There's already someone that are doing it. I'm kind of
Speaker 5: an icebreaker, okay.
Speaker 3: I mean for like a you know, emotionally closed off family.
Speaker 3: That kind of makes sense.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so back to what you called I. I really
Speaker 6: don't want to tell her why I was there. I
Speaker 6: mean I was paid to be there, and it feels
Speaker 6: strange to tell him, now, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you don't have to beat yourself up
Speaker 2: trying to figure out how to tell her because he
Speaker 2: kind of already did.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Wait, wait, so you actually get paid to cry at
Speaker 4: stranger's funeral?
Speaker 1: Yeah that's Julia.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I got that.
Speaker 1: We'll just let you guys talk.
Speaker 6: Guys listen, I mean you've heard it essentially. Yeah, I
Speaker 6: am paid to cry there, but it's not just crying
Speaker 6: sometimes all like I've given a speech before, I've been
Speaker 6: a pall bearer.
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess I just sort of lucked out.
Speaker 6: I didn't I didn't realize one of my job perks
Speaker 6: was meeting folks as we bury the dead.
Speaker 5: But there you go.
Speaker 2: Wow, Julia, I mean, how are you feeling hearing all that?
Speaker 4: I guess I just like thought you were this like
Speaker 4: really sensitive person that was like feeling your emotions and
Speaker 4: then just to find out that it's all just like
Speaker 4: a big game. It's I don't know, I'm kind of
Speaker 4: I know, I know.
Speaker 5: It's super weird.
Speaker 6: I know I was weird when I first got hired,
Speaker 6: But my feelings for you are real. The second time
Speaker 6: I cried with you.
Speaker 5: In the park, remember that that was real.
Speaker 6: Kissed you brought the real emotion out of me, and
Speaker 6: that's that's why I kissed you.
Speaker 4: But you cried because I brought up the person that passed,
Speaker 4: So all you did was just you were like primed
Speaker 4: to be triggered by that to cry So how can
Speaker 4: I trust like anything when, like, I know that you're
Speaker 4: preparing yourself for a reaction.
Speaker 6: I mean, do you trust a dentic to not scrub
Speaker 6: your teeth when he's not at work?
Speaker 5: You know what I mean? Work is work? You don't.
Speaker 3: Okay, that was a weird analogy, but you got somewhere
Speaker 3: I see. Okay, Yeah, he's able to leave it at home.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's sounds sincere. Were you gonna call her?
Speaker 5: I wanted to? Yeah, I just I didn't know how
Speaker 5: to say it. I was trying to figure it out.
Speaker 2: He's in a tough position, didn't I want to believe
Speaker 2: you at this point?
Speaker 1: Where and I.
Speaker 2: Feel like at this point, I mean, I might cry
Speaker 2: if you guys don't go out together on another date,
Speaker 2: because what does that say about me as a radio host?
Speaker 2: Are you to send you on a date?
Speaker 1: Is making me laugh? We're paid for you want to
Speaker 1: send the guy?
Speaker 3: Are you sure you want to send guy?
Speaker 1: Seriously? Rick, are you up for seeing Julia? And because
Speaker 1: it sounded like you were genuinely into her?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 2: Now the question is, Julia, are you still interested in
Speaker 2: going out with Rick again after what you heard? No?
Speaker 4: I think I have to pass. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm a terrible radio you are, it feels bad for you.
Speaker 1: I can't make this happen. I can't make anything happen.
Speaker 3: This is pathetic.
Speaker 6: I got a gig next Tuesday I can't go to
Speaker 6: If you want to fill in.
Speaker 3: For me, gonna be like, is that young Jeffery Brook
Speaker 3: and Jeffrey in the Morning
