Speaker 1: Second date up dated. Meeting a good single guy is
Speaker 1: like finding an open parking space at Costco on a Saturday.
Speaker 1: They exist.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't believe that to be aggressive, Yes.
Speaker 1: Got to be aggressive and get kind of lucky with it,
Speaker 1: or you could be like Brook and parking the rear,
Speaker 1: blocking the fire lay next to the row of dumpsters
Speaker 1: and just call it a day.
Speaker 2: I didn't block the handicapped parking spot.
Speaker 1: So that's how thoughtful point is. Finding good men not easy,
Speaker 1: and that's why our listener Laura says she had to
Speaker 1: find a strategy to help her find a decent dude,
Speaker 1: and apparently she came up with one. So Laura, welcome
Speaker 1: to the show.
Speaker 3: Hi.
Speaker 4: Is it bad that I'm hoping that your strategy also
Speaker 4: helps me in the Costco parking.
Speaker 5: Lot at all?
Speaker 1: Tell us about this guy that you met and the
Speaker 1: strategy that you used to find him.
Speaker 5: So first, let me start by saying, and I'm sure
Speaker 5: everyone can relate to this, that I have met so
Speaker 5: many people that were duds on both both on the
Speaker 5: APT and in person.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Problem is is we think we're catches of us are awful?
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly true, just a dodge yeah.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, So a while back I was listening to
Speaker 5: this podcast and this girl was giving some really fabulous
Speaker 5: dating advice.
Speaker 4: Oh my god was it a Lexus on our Brook
Speaker 4: and Jeffery.
Speaker 1: Why what did she say?
Speaker 5: Well, she said that women are in general having a
Speaker 5: hard time finding a guy that's well put together. Like
Speaker 5: you can meet a guy and he'll be great at first,
Speaker 5: and then everything just goes south really really quickly.
Speaker 1: Which is different than women who are perfect right away.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, it's a two way street.
Speaker 5: I'll admit it's a two way street.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So what was the solution?
Speaker 5: Okay, so you're gonna love this girl to go to
Speaker 5: the gym at nine am on a Saturday? Uh huh okay,
Speaker 5: and the reason being because most guys who are let's
Speaker 5: just be polite and say not put together would never
Speaker 5: be at the gym at nine am on a Saturday
Speaker 5: because they were probably out partying the night before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not just on a Saturday early. Like ever, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to the gym. Yeah, I'm done. But that's
Speaker 1: actually a decent strategy book. You don't agree, No, let
Speaker 1: mean to get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, I get it, but I think even earlier
Speaker 2: than that. Yeah, busy at nine you.
Speaker 1: Have a buddy who literally works out to get rid
Speaker 1: of his hangover's sweat. Okay, I get the idea, though,
Speaker 1: you want to go at a time when like all
Speaker 1: the party guys are supposedly it's too early for them
Speaker 1: yet or.
Speaker 2: If there are people who party, they can manage it.
Speaker 2: You know, they still work out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's perseverance right there. What's the talent? Like at
Speaker 1: the gym at nine am on a Saturday.
Speaker 5: Shockingly, a lot of really cute, well put together man.
Speaker 4: Okay, Jack putt Okay?
Speaker 2: So did you have your pick or.
Speaker 5: What I had my pick? I got like all decked
Speaker 5: out and I put on my favorite Lululemons and I
Speaker 5: got like all up in there.
Speaker 1: Okay. So who did you meet?
Speaker 5: I met a guy named Franklin.
Speaker 2: Franklin.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie. I
Speaker 5: legit set myself as bait.
Speaker 1: How yeh? What did you do?
Speaker 5: Well? Like I said, I got all decked out, and
Speaker 5: you know, I kind of like alluded to the fact
Speaker 5: that I didn't know what I was doing, and so yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm ashamed to say it, but I did. And he
Speaker 5: came over and kind of helped me figure out how
Speaker 5: to use the machine that I was working on. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it worked out. We had a nice little conversation and
Speaker 5: eventually he asked me out, Oh it works.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm still picturing you guys at the machine, Like
Speaker 1: did he come up behind you and like help you
Speaker 1: push the levers?
Speaker 5: This is not porn, hob take it easy over there
Speaker 5: that far picture.
Speaker 1: More like like with the Potter, But yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, I just kind of was like, I can't lift
Speaker 5: these giant plates. Can you help mecha?
Speaker 2: I need a big strong man to help me rescue me.
Speaker 1: So was the gym your date or did you guys
Speaker 1: like go out for real?
Speaker 5: No, we went out. He took me to dinner at Nobu.
Speaker 1: Whoa, I know, I know, and.
Speaker 5: I had never been there, so I was really excited.
Speaker 5: He suggested it, and I was like, wow, you know
Speaker 5: that's a little expensive.
Speaker 2: But did you say that.
Speaker 5: Like yeah, I was like, whoa, noboo, Okay, first date,
Speaker 5: that's like setting your bar really high.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: So how was it?
Speaker 5: It was amazing. We had a really good time. We
Speaker 5: really connected. We tried some new sushi together, which is
Speaker 5: always an interesting conversation piece at.
Speaker 1: Least liked before. Yeah, did you play the damsel in
Speaker 1: distress again and be like, Oh, I don't know how
Speaker 1: to use these chopsticks. I wish a big strong man
Speaker 1: could come over here and show me.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: I actually had a friend that was Japanese who told
Speaker 5: me that they don't use chopsticks, that they actually use
Speaker 5: their fingers. So when I eat sushi, I eat my hands.
Speaker 1: That's a look.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's true or not, but I
Speaker 4: think it's really funny if your friend was truly new.
Speaker 1: An idiot, just double fist and sushi on the table,
Speaker 1: all right, So you had some hands sushi. That's nice
Speaker 1: hand sushi.
Speaker 5: Yeah. And then I mean they call them hand rolls, right, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What about the connection with Franklin, No.
Speaker 5: We really did connect and we were talking like future,
Speaker 5: which was was kind of like I was kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 5: Like we were talking about like traveling together and like
Speaker 5: going skydiving, and listen, you're on.
Speaker 2: The phone with us. There has to be something bad
Speaker 2: that happened in the night.
Speaker 1: Already sounds bad though someone that's this put together. That's
Speaker 1: what it's getting weird. Now, it's like serial killer. Nobody's
Speaker 1: this charming and put an I know, I know. Wow,
Speaker 1: all right, so how did you end it?
Speaker 5: We ended the night with a hug, and I assumed
Speaker 5: that we go out again, of course, because we had
Speaker 5: such a great time. And I haven't heard from him
Speaker 5: in like two weeks. He just disappeared.
Speaker 2: Have you reached out to him or have you gone
Speaker 2: to the gym?
Speaker 5: Okay, so I reached out to him just one time.
Speaker 5: I didn't want to see meaty, and no, I never
Speaker 5: went back to the gym on the Saturday morning. So
Speaker 5: I'm actually thinking it could be that because maybe he
Speaker 5: thinks that I just went to the gym, like I
Speaker 5: set my own trap. You know, I.
Speaker 2: Don't think that guys put that much thought into where
Speaker 2: they make me. They care, I don't know if they care.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not even gonna put very much thought into
Speaker 1: leaving this break. So let's come back and call this
Speaker 1: guy and do your second date update right after this
Speaker 1: second date update. Who knew nine am on Saturday was
Speaker 1: prime time for available hobbies at the gym.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows, No, it's going to be slimmed.
Speaker 1: Our listener Laura knew because she heard about it on
Speaker 1: a podcast, so she went to check it out, and
Speaker 1: that's where she met hunky and responsible Franklin. He showed
Speaker 1: her how to lift a five pound dumbbell. She showed
Speaker 1: him how to eat sushi with your hands at no, lou,
Speaker 1: this is the traditional way. Jem apparently seemed like a
Speaker 1: match made in heaven. But Franklin has now gone two
Speaker 1: weeks without setting up another date. So either that finger
Speaker 1: sushi hit real wrong or something else is going on,
Speaker 1: so do not call.
Speaker 4: It finger sushi sushi hit good.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just see a chip of a
Speaker 2: thumb or something.
Speaker 3: It's hitting Brook.
Speaker 1: What do you think is going on?
Speaker 5: I know, I.
Speaker 4: Mean dating's just so hard and people have so many options,
Speaker 4: and life is so busy.
Speaker 2: It's just it could not be you at all.
Speaker 1: Could be literally anything.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean everything you describe sounded perfect.
Speaker 5: Okay, but like the hand sushi, did you explain why
Speaker 5: you were eating with your hands?
Speaker 2: You know, just do it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Of course, all right.
Speaker 1: Alexis thinks that the issue is the hand sushi thing.
Speaker 4: That is kind of also, someone justrib Alexis doesn't know
Speaker 4: how to eat sushi, and.
Speaker 1: You weren't feeding each other sushi with your hands, right,
Speaker 1: it was your own hands.
Speaker 2: I think that sounds fun.
Speaker 1: That's how you get banned from nob forever. But let's
Speaker 1: call Franklin here. Let's call Franklin and see if he
Speaker 1: has some answers for us. Hopefully he picks up and I'm.
Speaker 3: Downing it right now, thank you? All right? Hold on, hello?
Speaker 1: Hey? Is this Franklin?
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, who's speaking?
Speaker 2: Man? I knew he didn't answer and be put together
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 1: He does not put together. My name is jeff and
Speaker 1: you're actually on a radio show right now called Brook
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the Morning Morning.
Speaker 3: Why am I on a radio show right now? What's
Speaker 3: going on?
Speaker 1: Well? One of our listeners asked us to reach out
Speaker 1: to you because she had a great time getting sushi
Speaker 1: the other day. Her name is Laura.
Speaker 3: Oh god, Laura.
Speaker 2: Is such a fun show.
Speaker 1: So you liked her? It sounds I like it.
Speaker 2: I like, let's let's sake that. God, yeah, Laura, is
Speaker 2: that how you meant it? Franklin?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I normally don't misread people.
Speaker 4: Okay, that is so crazy, Like what a disconnect between
Speaker 4: how she described you and your reaction?
Speaker 1: She loved the date?
Speaker 3: All right? Yeah? Is that Is that all you need
Speaker 3: to ask me about? Well?
Speaker 1: No, we uh so there's more to this. We're doing
Speaker 1: a segment called the Second Date Update because Laura really
Speaker 1: wants to hang out again with you, and she's a
Speaker 1: little bit confused about why that hasn't happened in the
Speaker 1: two weeks since you went to Nobu together.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I don't I don't know, man, I'm I'm
Speaker 3: not sure if I'm really capable of dating her.
Speaker 2: Why.
Speaker 1: Okay, what does that mean? What do you mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I can
Speaker 3: keep up with her lifestyle because she seems uh maintenance,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I thought you were kind of the high maintenance one
Speaker 1: taking were trying to get on your roster.
Speaker 3: Even so, hold slow, slow down, guys, we're that was
Speaker 3: her idea, not mine.
Speaker 4: What she told us, it was your idea, and she
Speaker 4: was like, no, let's not do that.
Speaker 2: It's too expensive.
Speaker 3: No, no, no. We were kind of tossing ideas back
Speaker 3: and forth about where to go, and I think she
Speaker 3: was the one that actually suggested no, but not me,
Speaker 3: but right, but you.
Speaker 2: Agreed to it, I mean different place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't want to seem too difficult, So I
Speaker 3: just kind of went with it, and I honestly didn't
Speaker 3: realize what I was getting it to.
Speaker 1: Oh god, you didn't. You didn't know.
Speaker 2: You didn't know.
Speaker 4: Nobody's like this high end, super expensive restaurant.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm a Chick fil a kind of guy. Like, well, I.
Speaker 1: Mean that's what one tier below pretty close.
Speaker 2: The only time I've been is with my agent.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so did you pay the bit? Like how much?
Speaker 1: Can we ask how much it was?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, instead of a nice little Chick fil a
Speaker 3: forty dollars day being like four hundred dollars.
Speaker 6: Oh no, I feel bad for you, dude, I bet okay,
Speaker 6: But honestly, like she thought that you were up for it,
Speaker 6: like she thought she played it as your choice.
Speaker 1: She wassed you were in it together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not quite. It was definitely her suggestion, and that
Speaker 3: gives me that whole idea that she's expecting this pretty frequently.
Speaker 3: And then she started talking about expensive things like skydiving
Speaker 3: and hang gliding and had my head spinning. There's no
Speaker 3: way I can afford this, girl.
Speaker 6: Okay, people talk about fun things that are expensively.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like this has been a little bit
Speaker 1: of a miscommunication, a misunderstanding because we didn't get that
Speaker 1: impression from her. And you can actually ask her yourself, Franklin,
Speaker 1: because Laura has been waiting on the other line wanting
Speaker 1: to talk to you.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, you got to set up.
Speaker 1: Thank you, it's international phone call.
Speaker 3: She charging.
Speaker 4: The good news is usually really wealthy people don't call
Speaker 4: our show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you knows.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Laura talked to Franklin.
Speaker 5: Hey, Franklin, Laura, what are you?
Speaker 3: What are you doing put me on this radio show? Like,
Speaker 3: what's going on? You putting on blast?
Speaker 5: What are you doing being a typical jerk and disappearing
Speaker 5: and not texting me back and letting me know what's
Speaker 5: going on?
Speaker 2: What the heck?
Speaker 1: Where did that come from?
Speaker 5: She's well, two weeks, dude, two weeks. I thought we
Speaker 5: had a really good time. And by the way, guys,
Speaker 5: nobu was not my suggestion. It was his.
Speaker 1: He says it was yours.
Speaker 2: He didn't even know what it was. How could he
Speaker 2: suggest it?
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, maybe maybe I brought it up, but he
Speaker 5: agreed to it.
Speaker 1: It was well, Franklin, he did mess up there, So y'at.
Speaker 3: Admit that or I didn't want to be difficult or anything, right,
Speaker 3: I just kind of went with the idea and I
Speaker 3: thought sure, And I had never been to Nobu, so
Speaker 3: I had I had no idea what was going on.
Speaker 1: He didn't know he was signing up.
Speaker 2: I mean, do you feel like some empathy towards him?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 5: He probably he probably googled a coupon for Nobu before.
Speaker 3: We went out, now that I'm hearing all this, Listen,
Speaker 3: I looked for a coupon. But doesn't mean you know
Speaker 3: you did?
Speaker 2: Of course that's okay.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, there's nothing wrong with going to on a
Speaker 5: first date.
Speaker 1: Sorry, no, but you hear what he's saying, right, Like
Speaker 1: he thinks that you are like probably wanting to too
Speaker 1: much money out of him, and.
Speaker 5: Like I'm not looking to take his money. I make
Speaker 5: money too.
Speaker 3: It's not about that.
Speaker 5: There's nothing wrong with living extravagantly totally.
Speaker 2: I think Jeffrey explained it wrong.
Speaker 4: He just thinks that maybe your lifestyle and his lifestyle
Speaker 4: don't meet up in the budget world.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I mean I didn't. I didn't realize
Speaker 5: he was just cheap.
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 5: The theater, what did you say, I said, I realized
Speaker 5: he was this cheap. He probably brings his own popcorn
Speaker 5: to the dollar theater.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, there's a dollar theater.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Well, now we're getting I didn't know
Speaker 3: you were this rude. The SERI turn off every time
Speaker 3: you start talking.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't.
Speaker 5: Even get it. It's not about rude. We were just
Speaker 5: talking about the future, and I thought you were on board.
Speaker 5: It seems like you were agreeing with everything with me,
Speaker 5: so obviously you're not being your authentic stuff on dates. Wow,
Speaker 5: you probably asked Charity if they have a happy hour
Speaker 5: special or something.
Speaker 3: God, no, wonder you were single.
Speaker 1: Franklin, he's gone.
Speaker 5: He goesed you.
Speaker 1: Too, all right, frank All right, Well Franklin decided he
Speaker 1: didn't want to be a part of this anymore. Poor guy. Literally.
Speaker 4: Oh man, just for the record, it's not bad to
Speaker 4: bring your own popcorn into a movie theater.
Speaker 1: It's I've definitely been there. I think we all agree
Speaker 1: with that. But the fact that it's a dollar theater,
Speaker 1: I mean, how expensive could the popcorn be?
Speaker 5: Honestly, it's not that it's expensive. It's usually just stale.
Speaker 5: But that's the size the point.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, popcorn, I guess no more.
Speaker 2: Gym at nine am.
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, no, all right, Well we don't even get
Speaker 1: a chance to ask for another day. But yeah, you
Speaker 1: scared him off pretty quickly.
Speaker 5: You should find a more exclusive Jim Richard. Maybe I
Speaker 5: can go a date with one of you.
Speaker 2: I thought you wanted somebody who was rich.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, nook Jeffrey in the morning. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of texts coming in at seven eight, five nine
Speaker 1: two from our listeners asking what is Nobu? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: misspelled multiple ways.
Speaker 2: That does that hurt your little privileged heart?
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are listeners, but that's why we love them.
Speaker 1: By the way, if you don't know, google Nobu n
Speaker 1: O b U sushi restaurant, very very high end.
Speaker 4: It's actually a chain though, which is a funny to me,
Speaker 4: but it is like so expensive.
Speaker 1: Sushi for people that want to pay triple.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've never been there, but I know. Brooks sends pictures
Speaker 1: of herself dining there to her sponsored children in third
Speaker 1: world's countries, saying, Hi and Dari, I met Nobu again
Speaker 1: third time this week. Sorry to hear your dad lost
Speaker 1: his fishing job and has to go back to the cannery.
Speaker 1: I'll text you next week, all right, Brooke starting.
