Speaker 1: Quick, Alexis, before the second date starts, tell everyone hello
Speaker 1: in Australian.
Speaker 2: Oh, good day may Oh that must be.
Speaker 1: The reason why we're charting in Australia comedy podcasts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally hot.
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for being here, and don't forget if
Speaker 1: you do love this much of the show, We've got
Speaker 1: forty five more minutes of it over on our main feed.
Speaker 2: Just search Brooke and Jeffrey. Brook and Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: Now they understand what we're talking about.
Speaker 2: Let's get to what you can for.
Speaker 3: It's your second date, second date, up date, Alexis, if
Speaker 3: you could describe not the perfect guy for you, but
Speaker 3: the feeling that you get when you're around that guy.
Speaker 4: Close your eyes and tell us the three words that
Speaker 4: he makes you feel.
Speaker 2: A little bit roasted, Like I want him to be
Speaker 2: mean to me.
Speaker 5: A little bit, you know, like.
Speaker 1: That's like a hard thing that comes to your mind.
Speaker 2: Answer belittled as one full of food. I hope I
Speaker 2: get to go the little tipsy.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't know if I've ever met
Speaker 1: anyone as scared of emotions as you are.
Speaker 6: Terrified.
Speaker 2: You should imagine this.
Speaker 6: Is what everybody's perfect guy, A little bit different it's.
Speaker 2: Like Michael B.
Speaker 6: Jordan making fun of it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you see two guys because you just have double vision.
Speaker 4: I bring it up because one of our listeners says
Speaker 4: she figured out how she wants to feel when she
Speaker 4: meets her perfect guy, and maybe it even happened to
Speaker 4: her this last date. I mean he's not calling her back,
Speaker 4: but that doesn't matter. She that a certain way that.
Speaker 2: Could feel good, though, like just a little bit not ignored.
Speaker 1: It's one day.
Speaker 6: Well, let's talk to Alice and hear about it. Alice,
Speaker 6: how you doing?
Speaker 5: I'm good in you guys.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about Alexis, but I think the rest of
Speaker 1: us are fine.
Speaker 6: Would you like because we will.
Speaker 4: I bring it up because in your email, you said
Speaker 4: you felt the way that you wanted to feel when
Speaker 4: you met up with this guy.
Speaker 6: What does that mean?
Speaker 5: Well, the dealness is that I've just been meeting the
Speaker 5: wrong guys. My discernment hasn't been the best because I
Speaker 5: usually go for guys that wind up being wrong for me.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're taking a different approach, looking for a
Speaker 1: different Yes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I heard this podcast by this lady and
Speaker 5: she said, instead of looking for your firecrackers. You should
Speaker 5: be looking for your fireplace.
Speaker 2: I heard this. You're supposed to go for the slow
Speaker 2: bird type of.
Speaker 6: Okay, what does that mean?
Speaker 5: Okay, so like firecrackers like for me, like I get butterflies,
Speaker 5: and not to my stomach, like I get like an
Speaker 5: adrenaline rush.
Speaker 2: It's so fun.
Speaker 5: It's scary, but it's like a ride I want to
Speaker 5: go on, but then the ride crashes.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, dangerous.
Speaker 7: Fries.
Speaker 5: You know. Now, a fireplace is actually more it's welcoming,
Speaker 5: it's warm. You look forward to that comfort. You're not scared, right,
Speaker 5: you're not scared, not all the bells and whistle.
Speaker 4: So basically you're not supposed to be looking for the
Speaker 4: exciting person anymore.
Speaker 6: You're supposed to look for the safe person.
Speaker 5: I need to be swiping right on the fireplaces.
Speaker 2: Right, So is this guy that you went out with
Speaker 2: the fireplace?
Speaker 5: He fits the profile where he's doesn't necessarily knock my
Speaker 5: socks off, but but he does tick off the boxes
Speaker 5: that I like, And that's what I found in.
Speaker 4: Doesn't knock your socks off, and maybe he would mend
Speaker 4: your socks if they'll.
Speaker 1: Warm them, because he's a fire so what's his name?
Speaker 5: His name is Paul.
Speaker 6: He's got a fireplace name.
Speaker 4: What did you and Paul decide to do? What did
Speaker 4: you in this fireplace go?
Speaker 5: Okay, So what we decided to do was to go
Speaker 5: out to dinner at my thirty.
Speaker 2: At five thirty.
Speaker 1: Was that his idea or were you just really push
Speaker 1: at this old person?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 5: No, actually he said he had to be home to
Speaker 5: be in bed by nine thirty so that he could
Speaker 5: go to work.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, even when I was dating, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: go to bed at nine thirty. Yeah, you know, one
Speaker 1: night to stay up.
Speaker 5: Come on.
Speaker 6: That's attracted to those firecrackers, that's why.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you were excited about this because this is
Speaker 1: still like fulfilling what your thought is of him?
Speaker 6: Yeah? How did dinner go?
Speaker 5: Dinner went really well. I mean he told me he
Speaker 5: likes to cook, he likes to bake. And when he
Speaker 5: said that to me, it's like that gave me some
Speaker 5: really nice, like low key fireplace vibes, which I really liked.
Speaker 1: Yes, So did you tell him this, because you've brought
Speaker 1: it up so many times?
Speaker 6: Did you use the term firecracker and fireplace with him?
Speaker 5: That's what I mean, honestly, I didn't want to bring
Speaker 5: up those terms because I just wanted him to be
Speaker 5: himself and say that he had to be somebody else.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's good.
Speaker 4: It's probably not going to go to well if you
Speaker 4: keep referring to him as the safe fireplace.
Speaker 1: I mean, every guy wants to think of themselves as
Speaker 1: a bad boy in some ways, right Yeah.
Speaker 6: So okay, he seems to be checking the boxes that
Speaker 6: you want, right.
Speaker 5: You know, he said he was looking for long term.
Speaker 5: You know, he's into health and nature, and that to
Speaker 5: me was perfect. I mean, I wasn't getting butterflies in
Speaker 5: my stomach, you know.
Speaker 1: I feel like that should still be happening.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, you don't want to have that. Okay, that's
Speaker 6: a firecracker.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm guessing, like you guys didn't end the
Speaker 1: night with a kiss or anything.
Speaker 5: Well, near the ending of the night, he tells me
Speaker 5: a joke, and he said to me, did I want
Speaker 5: him to teach me a car trick?
Speaker 2: So I said okay, and then it's kind of cute.
Speaker 5: He says, Oh, well I don't know any gotcha.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Well, hopefully you didn't laugh too hard because
Speaker 4: then you're gonna get too excited and that would be
Speaker 4: a time.
Speaker 2: Was that?
Speaker 1: The only funny moment is that it's.
Speaker 2: Just so specific.
Speaker 6: What was there like any like hugger?
Speaker 5: I'll say we did a nice little hug. I mean
Speaker 5: I thought it was I thought it was a good date.
Speaker 5: It wasn't over the top, that's what you want though.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like a bad experience or one big negative thing.
Speaker 6: Okay, So what's happened since the date?
Speaker 5: Oh? This is the thing. Now, I haven't heard back
Speaker 5: or gotten a callback from this boring fireplace guy.
Speaker 2: So are you just more mad that he's not calling
Speaker 2: you back? Or do you really want to see him again?
Speaker 5: I really would like to see him again. But I'm like,
Speaker 5: how could you not call me back?
Speaker 1: Right? Like?
Speaker 5: What could you possibly have going on outside of what
Speaker 5: you told me?
Speaker 6: Okay, I have a cat.
Speaker 4: Maybe we should dial down some of this language when
Speaker 4: we actually get him on the fund.
Speaker 6: But we're gonna call him.
Speaker 4: We'll try and stoke that fire back up and not
Speaker 4: too brightly when we do your second date update right
Speaker 4: after this.
Speaker 6: Okay, hold on second date update.
Speaker 4: I got the strangest text message from the Academy of
Speaker 4: Radio broadcasters saying, we just hit a new radio record
Speaker 4: for saying the word fireplace.
Speaker 6: Over fifteen thousand times.
Speaker 2: We know what we're looking for, Jeff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm only going to say it once more
Speaker 4: because our listener Alice used that term as a simple
Speaker 4: analogy for what she's looking for in her romantic partner.
Speaker 4: She learned she needs to stop chasing fire crackers and
Speaker 4: start looking for her fireplace.
Speaker 1: What if you do, don't chase waterfalls either. We'll just
Speaker 1: put it in there.
Speaker 6: We don't need any more analogies thrown in.
Speaker 4: Basically, it's stopped looking for the exciting guy who gives
Speaker 4: you butterflies, start looking for the safe option.
Speaker 6: Yeah, settle kind of not really.
Speaker 1: I mean it's just like, yeah, just don't look for
Speaker 1: the stuff that's going to fizzle out really quick.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're looking for that feeling that's going to make
Speaker 6: you feel like you're at home.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And now that she went down that road, the fireplace
Speaker 4: is leaving her on red.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've said fireplace again.
Speaker 6: I'm not going to say it anymore.
Speaker 2: We can't break our own record.
Speaker 6: It's like our wood soggy, It just.
Speaker 3: Won't you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Now that's how you feel him before we call him.
Speaker 5: Here, I'm feeling pretty good. I'm just hoping to figure
Speaker 5: out why haven't heard back from Paul.
Speaker 2: I like that you still have hope, but not too much.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's like.
Speaker 1: You're like shifting everything to try to find the thing
Speaker 1: that you're supposed to have, and even that is a
Speaker 1: struggle right now. But I don't think it will be
Speaker 1: at the end.
Speaker 7: Of this I hope. So yeah, we all do.
Speaker 4: It's interesting we're going to be calling a boring guy
Speaker 4: for a radio segment here.
Speaker 6: Not the best reading.
Speaker 4: Strategy on our part, but you know what, let's dial
Speaker 4: him up.
Speaker 6: Anyways, stay tuned.
Speaker 2: We've got a crackling fireplaces.
Speaker 6: Hopefully we can squeeze a little bit of it. But
Speaker 6: here we go. Hello, Hi, we're looking to speak with Paul.
Speaker 7: This is Paul.
Speaker 2: Not that we wanted you to come hot out of
Speaker 2: the gate or anything.
Speaker 5: Friend.
Speaker 4: First of all, thank you so much for answering this
Speaker 4: number that I'm sure you didn't recognize it.
Speaker 6: Well, strangers, we know we're a radio station called Brook
Speaker 6: and Jeffrey in the Morning. Okay, okay, nice.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's keep this going because what we're doing here
Speaker 4: is called a second date update, and we're trying to
Speaker 4: help out one of our listeners that you actually went
Speaker 4: out to dinner with a few nights ago and she
Speaker 4: had a really nice time with you.
Speaker 6: Her name is Alice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good old Alice.
Speaker 8: Huh yeah, Well, we'd like to open it up to
Speaker 8: you for a second and tell us what you thought
Speaker 8: about the date.
Speaker 6: Which thought about it? Alice?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: What what is this for?
Speaker 6: Well, it's a second ate update.
Speaker 4: Basically, Alice has reached out to us because she told
Speaker 4: us a little bit about your night together.
Speaker 6: She had a great time. Well, how was it for you?
Speaker 7: I'm just not really sure how the date went. I
Speaker 7: guess I don't uh, I don't know. I don't get
Speaker 7: I don't get a lot of matches. So I was
Speaker 7: pretty nervous. That's been a long time doing my hair, and.
Speaker 4: It makes feel better. She said that she was nervous
Speaker 4: to meet up with you too.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I told her a joke at one point and it
Speaker 7: kind of failed but kind of worked at the same time.
Speaker 7: I'm not really did you tell her?
Speaker 6: Are you talking about the magic trick joke? Yeah? Okaya.
Speaker 6: She told us that, Yeah, you're funny. Okay, that's a compliment.
Speaker 6: You feel good about that?
Speaker 2: Why would you not be calling her back?
Speaker 1: And why wouldn't you be excited right now? Like we're
Speaker 1: telling you it was a good date.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I just didn't know how to feel about it. And
Speaker 7: then we did talk about going out again, but she
Speaker 7: was talking about acts throwing. Yeah, and I don't know
Speaker 7: about that, going out into the woods and throwing axes.
Speaker 7: That seemed dangerous.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I understand you.
Speaker 6: You haven't dated in a while.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like you might You might not know this,
Speaker 4: but they actually have places set up where you're supposed
Speaker 4: to go indoors and throw axes at the wall at
Speaker 4: like targets.
Speaker 2: You don't even have to date to know that.
Speaker 7: I never heard of that. I thought it was sounded
Speaker 7: kind of like a liability.
Speaker 1: Uh, you're going to be fine, man, You're going to
Speaker 1: be fine.
Speaker 2: It's going to be a relief to her.
Speaker 1: So you just weren't calling her back because you think
Speaker 1: she liked you you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess that's kind of the gift.
Speaker 4: You know, it was probably really really relieved to hear
Speaker 4: you say all those things. Is Alice, who is on
Speaker 4: the other line right now wanting to talk to you.
Speaker 5: Hi, Paul, how are you.
Speaker 7: Hi? I'm good.
Speaker 6: You could hear the smile.
Speaker 5: That it's good to hear your voice.
Speaker 7: Paul.
Speaker 5: I was wondering why I hadn't heard back from you.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry. I guess I was just kind of unsure.
Speaker 7: I don't really know if you wanted to go out
Speaker 7: again or it went well.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: I think the axe throwing idea really scared him off there,
Speaker 4: Alice like that. You're not married to that as the.
Speaker 5: Next day, you know, like could there was always other
Speaker 5: activities that we could.
Speaker 7: Do, would be would be good. I tend to be a.
Speaker 4: Leader, but you must feel good, like you understand, like Alice.
Speaker 4: Alice likes you, right, Alice, you can even tell him yourself.
Speaker 4: Now we don't have to your voice.
Speaker 5: Well, I really had a great time with you when
Speaker 5: we had dinner. I think the conversation was pretty good.
Speaker 5: I don't know if maybe you might have been a
Speaker 5: little anxious, but I mean if you were, I couldn't tell.
Speaker 2: Your confidence has to be through the roof right now, right.
Speaker 5: Paul, Yeah, good?
Speaker 6: Okay to him up for that and he knocked it
Speaker 6: down all right. I mean I think that you guys
Speaker 6: should give it one more show.
Speaker 4: You choose like a safe act activity for you two
Speaker 4: to do no sharp objects anywhere around.
Speaker 8: The ballroom, bowling, bowling, Yeah, yeah, yeah, we could do that.
Speaker 7: You could come see my collection collection.
Speaker 6: What collection? The collection?
Speaker 5: Huh?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 7: Oh? I collect antiqu gynecological chairs.
Speaker 5: I don't know what.
Speaker 2: Did you say, gynocological like with the stirrup feet.
Speaker 1: I heard dynacological like a dinosaurs like an ob g.
Speaker 2: Y n chair.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but like they're from the eighteen hundreds, you collect those? Yeah,
Speaker 7: they're really kind of fascinating. Actually, you know why?
Speaker 2: Why are they fascinating? Paul?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's that period is kind of, you know,
Speaker 7: really interesting, not a.
Speaker 2: Great period in women.
Speaker 6: It was the experimental things. They're trying to figure out
Speaker 6: what's going on now they did.
Speaker 1: That's a little How do you feel about that?
Speaker 5: That's a that's a little bit odd.
Speaker 4: Well, I think maybe the question we need to ask
Speaker 4: is do you feel like you have butterflies right now?
Speaker 6: Alice Hope, No, Well, that's a good sign for you.
Speaker 4: That's the opposite of what you're looking for. So we
Speaker 4: would love to send you two out on another date.
Speaker 8: Paul.
Speaker 6: We'll pay for this date, if you're willing to meet
Speaker 6: up with Alice.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that sounds great.
Speaker 4: Okay, yes from Paul Alice, you're still up for it.
Speaker 4: You don't have to go to his house, you don't
Speaker 4: have to see the collection.
Speaker 1: I'll say, maybe you can see pictures of his collection
Speaker 1: first and then judge from there.
Speaker 2: If there's a third day.
Speaker 5: Yes, I think that's what I would need to have
Speaker 5: a visual of the collection of the dynacological chair.
Speaker 2: Let's not say that I.
Speaker 4: Take some photos of your collection and text them over
Speaker 4: and then we'll send you guys out again on a date.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 7: I'll send a link to my website a website, alright, Tall,
Speaker 7: I'm kind of excited.
Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
