Speaker 1: Second date update date.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if you remember this, but a few
Speaker 2: months ago, one of our listeners named Michael did an
Speaker 2: awkward Tuesday phone call because he had this female friend
Speaker 2: who was complaining to him about how lonely she was
Speaker 2: all the time. Yeah, so he wanted to convince his
Speaker 2: best friend to date her just to get miss sad
Speaker 2: face out of his hand.
Speaker 3: I do remember that. I can't remember how it turned out,
Speaker 3: but I remember it.
Speaker 1: That doesn't really matter.
Speaker 2: I guess we did a good enough job helping him
Speaker 2: with that situation that Michael now trusts us completely, so
Speaker 2: much so that almost a year later, he wants us
Speaker 2: to do a second date update far Michael, it's.
Speaker 1: Good to have you back on the show.
Speaker 4: Dude, Hey, it's great to be back. Thanks for Does
Speaker 4: it feel to.
Speaker 3: Lower your standards of advice this lie?
Speaker 4: Well, I think you guys are going to help me out.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, it is our honor and privilege to be
Speaker 2: able to assist you with your love life today, Michael,
Speaker 2: So tell us what's going on.
Speaker 4: I want you to know that before I started, even
Speaker 4: before I had you guys help me advice with my friend,
Speaker 4: I was in a long relationship before them. It ended messy.
Speaker 4: So I was definitely taking a long break from dating.
Speaker 4: But now I'm back out there.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I'm so all right.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm finally got on the apps. But why
Speaker 4: I need your advice is somebody I met in real life,
Speaker 4: not on the apps.
Speaker 3: Oh that's fun. How'd you do that?
Speaker 4: Well? Her name's Meghan, and I met her at the
Speaker 4: grocery store.
Speaker 5: That's like such a stereotype. People say the best place
Speaker 5: to meet a chick?
Speaker 3: Did they really say?
Speaker 5: I don't know why, but they.
Speaker 3: Say that the store.
Speaker 2: It's so romantic at the grocery store, especially when they
Speaker 2: have the thunder over by the produce section.
Speaker 1: Rainstorm. Dude, how did you need Meghan? There?
Speaker 4: Just we caught each other's eyes, and then we kept
Speaker 4: finding each other in almost every eye.
Speaker 3: Oh I needed bread. That's kind of cute.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to the point where like she jokingly had to
Speaker 4: ask me, are you following me? With a smile.
Speaker 6: I I'll tell you when women say that, it's like
Speaker 6: joking but also.
Speaker 1: One spray.
Speaker 4: Yeah all right, you know, I asked her right back though,
Speaker 4: are you following me? And that that started off like
Speaker 4: a small conversation. We just talked about what was in
Speaker 4: our cart, you know.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're gonna make tacos tonight.
Speaker 6: Huh.
Speaker 1: Yeah. You guys went deep on that first convo. Oh
Speaker 1: my god.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that led to me asking for her number. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I got her number.
Speaker 2: Well that lets make you feel really confident after, like
Speaker 2: you said, you went through that tough breakup for like
Speaker 2: a year ago. Finally going out into the world and
Speaker 2: meeting somebody that you connect with instantly.
Speaker 3: What have people been complaining about? This is so easy?
Speaker 1: It didn't lead to an actual date.
Speaker 7: It did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there was no ghosting involved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look how jaded we all are in this room.
Speaker 1: You really met again? Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Well you're jumping ahead. There was some ghosting, so okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean we we did meet up. I suggested we
Speaker 4: go out for dinner and like at a restaurant, just to
Speaker 4: get to know her more. But she countered with just like,
Speaker 4: I don't feel like going out. Can we just watch
Speaker 4: a movie? And I said sure, and she suggested my place.
Speaker 6: Is it? Or I mean like you because I feel
Speaker 6: like it's a good sign for just like a one
Speaker 6: night hangout situation.
Speaker 3: It's not a good sign if you're I just meant.
Speaker 5: It's a good sign that she's comfortable enough to come
Speaker 5: to you.
Speaker 1: She stole Brooks line. I think it's so how did
Speaker 1: it go?
Speaker 4: I felt very comfortable and relaxed. We just all we
Speaker 4: ended up doing was just watching a movie, had a
Speaker 4: couple of drinks.
Speaker 1: You guys fool around.
Speaker 4: That's no, didn't leave any of that.
Speaker 3: That's okay, it's the first hangout.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is a books hang out.
Speaker 3: You're not wrong, jeff So.
Speaker 4: Then I thought the night would go a little longer,
Speaker 4: but she said she had to go and get something
Speaker 4: from her car real quick. She's like, I got to
Speaker 4: run in my car real quick. I didn't even think
Speaker 4: of it. I was having a good time, and that's
Speaker 4: when she just never came back.
Speaker 3: Lead whoa.
Speaker 6: I feel like that's something Alexis would do, Like she
Speaker 6: just doesn't know how to.
Speaker 3: I really would.
Speaker 1: Literally dip out, like, oh.
Speaker 5: Wait, I looved it.
Speaker 6: It when you're king someone at a second bar, like
Speaker 6: a restaurant to a bars like see you there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little concerning, though. Did you reach out
Speaker 1: to her afterwards?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I was concerned. I'm like, I hope no one snatched
Speaker 4: her up or something like he did. I called, I
Speaker 4: even called the number, I mean, no reply for quite
Speaker 4: a bit, and then she finally got back to me,
Speaker 4: and all she just sent the text over and it
Speaker 4: just said, hey, sorry, it's not going to work out
Speaker 4: between us. That was it.
Speaker 5: And we're so jaded. You're reight because I think that's polite.
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, that's nice, but into his face.
Speaker 2: But it's weird that there's no explanation for why exactly
Speaker 2: after she invited herself to hang out at your apartment.
Speaker 6: But I don't feel like your own explanation after only
Speaker 6: one hangout.
Speaker 3: Jeff like that.
Speaker 5: That's a good point too.
Speaker 3: It's not like that's the same like they But we
Speaker 3: want it? Do you do you want to see her again?
Speaker 4: I just want to know what was the turn off
Speaker 4: because I'm confused. Was it my apartment? Was it something
Speaker 4: I did? I don't know.
Speaker 3: I like that you're blaming yourself. That's a good start.
Speaker 5: Okay, this might.
Speaker 4: To me being embarrassed. Who care, Let's find out what
Speaker 4: I did so I can you know you're if.
Speaker 2: There's something wrong that you're doing, it's good to know
Speaker 2: it up ahead of time. So let's come back. We're
Speaker 2: gonna call Meghan for you, Michael. Oh so weird Brooks
Speaker 2: husband and Brook's best friend's name.
Speaker 1: Don't think about that when we do.
Speaker 2: Our next fall year and you took her line. Second
Speaker 2: date update right after this hold on second date update.
Speaker 2: It was the comeback after the romantic setback, followed by
Speaker 2: a slight drawback. Okay, because our listener Michael finally got
Speaker 2: back into the dating game after going through a tough
Speaker 2: breakup about a year ago. Didn't find his match online though,
Speaker 2: found her in the grocery store holding two big candilopes.
Speaker 1: At least that's Jose's dream of how they met.
Speaker 2: But her name was Megan, and eventually they arranged a
Speaker 2: little Netflix and chill night back at Michael's apartment, which
Speaker 2: went really well.
Speaker 3: And her idea that very important.
Speaker 2: Things kind of fell apart though when she said she
Speaker 2: had to grab something from her car and never returned.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm wondering if.
Speaker 6: She was hoping for something more that never was materializing.
Speaker 3: You didn't, Yeah, yeah, watched the whole movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was was the had to grab something from
Speaker 2: the car thing a lie?
Speaker 1: Alexis says, yes, from experience, but we.
Speaker 3: Don't know that, yes, we do.
Speaker 1: We don't know anything for sure.
Speaker 2: We do know it's not a good signed on what.
Speaker 1: A lie is.
Speaker 6: She didn't want to be there, okay, that she lied, yes,
Speaker 6: but again.
Speaker 1: We don't know.
Speaker 2: We just know it's not a good sign. Also, not
Speaker 2: a good sign. Megan texted him days later, confirming it's
Speaker 2: not gonna work.
Speaker 3: That's why I know after all those things, Jeff, I think.
Speaker 2: It's very we needed to be impartial people in the
Speaker 2: middle here. Isn't that right, Michael? You want an impartial
Speaker 2: audience like I am.
Speaker 4: Very hopeful that I'm gonna get something positive out of this.
Speaker 4: It will be an easy correction to make.
Speaker 3: I think your positivity is really sweet.
Speaker 1: Do you hear the condescending.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not hopeful to get another day out of this.
Speaker 4: It's not like trying to get back with me. I
Speaker 4: just wanted to become better at dating.
Speaker 3: Okay, And that's sweet.
Speaker 2: It is sweet that you think you can get better. Okay. Well,
Speaker 2: we're all going to try our best for you here, Michael.
Speaker 2: Let's call Meghan for you and see if she answers
Speaker 2: and what she has to say. Here we go, Hello, Hi,
Speaker 2: we're looking to talk with Meghan speaking.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, Meghan, Hey, hello, you're awfully I'm a group
Speaker 8: phone call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I don't know if you realize you're on
Speaker 2: the radio right now with a show called Brook and
Speaker 2: Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 7: Are you serious?
Speaker 3: Yes, the show? Meghan?
Speaker 7: Hi, guys, I guess okay.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to deal with this positivity on
Speaker 1: the other end. We don't normally get this.
Speaker 3: We got two positive people that we've talked to.
Speaker 1: That's true. You don't know this, Megan.
Speaker 2: But earlier the other positive person we spoke to was
Speaker 2: a guy named Michael that you went on a date with.

Speaker 2: two hung out and did Netflix over at his apartment,
Speaker 2: if something went wrong during that night, cause.
Speaker 6: Well he knows something went wrong because you left and
Speaker 6: didn't come back.
Speaker 2: Well, we don't know what the problem was, if it
Speaker 2: was on your end, if it was something he did.
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, I cannot believe this is happening.
Speaker 1: A limited times, so we need to have you believe sooner.
Speaker 1: So start to believe. You're on the radio.

Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 7: Okay, I don't even know where to begin at. I
Speaker 7: really don't even know if.
Speaker 6: I show you know, we love humiliating stories. We are
Speaker 6: walking embarrassments to everyone that we know, like you were
Speaker 6: in the right company.
Speaker 2: We're really just trying to help out Michael because he's
Speaker 2: really concerned feeling like he did something wrong on the date.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so let me just say, I've never done anything
Speaker 7: like this before.
Speaker 1: What do you mean, Alexi says that on the first
Speaker 1: date too.
Speaker 7: Seriously, guys, I'm a good person, I promise.
Speaker 3: What are you talking about with anything?
Speaker 7: Okay? So, so I kind of didn't bump into Michael
Speaker 7: at the grocery store, like not by accident.
Speaker 3: What do you mean what?
Speaker 7: I don't know if he told you, like we met
Speaker 7: in a grocery store or not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said you guys like randomly kept bumping into
Speaker 2: each other kind of multiple times in the store.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I'm kind of like, I know his ex girlfriend. Yeah,
Speaker 7: like we're in a book club together, so you know,
Speaker 7: we're girl pals. We chill, we talk, you know.
Speaker 6: And wait, so you saw him in the grocery store
Speaker 6: by chance or you went there because you knew he
Speaker 6: was gonna be there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I kind of followed him there because oh why.
Speaker 7: He basically was like banking one day, and she was like,
Speaker 7: my ex boyfriend won't give me back my guitar, So
Speaker 7: my thing leads to the next and yeah, so we
Speaker 7: kind of set up to, you know, run into Michael
Speaker 7: as they store.
Speaker 6: The whole thing was a setup so you could go
Speaker 6: in and steal her guitar back.
Speaker 3: He could you leave with the guitar.
Speaker 7: I didn't steal anything. That's her Oh y yeah.
Speaker 2: If that's what she says, is this one really happens
Speaker 2: at book club?
Speaker 1: You don't read any books.
Speaker 6: Yes, you do the book for like fifteen twenty minutes,
Speaker 6: you discuss it.
Speaker 1: And then you plut revenge against all of your ex
Speaker 1: for the rest of the time.
Speaker 6: I mean, if it needs to happen, it needs to happen.
Speaker 6: I mean, she's not getting revenge. She's just trying to
Speaker 6: get her guitar back. That's different. I have had reconnaissance
Speaker 6: missions like this myself.
Speaker 2: I know that's like another twenty minute long story that
Speaker 2: we don't need to get into the important thing that
Speaker 2: we need to get to here. Megan is letting you
Speaker 2: know that Michael is actually on the other line right
Speaker 2: now listening to this conversation.
Speaker 7: Way, it's fine.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like you're ever going to see
Speaker 3: him again.

Speaker 3: What do you mean, didn't she already get the guitar?
Speaker 1: Michael? Are you hearing this?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I do not know what to say right now. It's mineyful.

Speaker 2: the history of the guitar?
Speaker 1: Whose guitar is it?
Speaker 4: It's my exes? Yeah, like.
Speaker 1: On it.

Speaker 7: I will say, like, you are a really nice guy,
Speaker 7: Like you were really fitible, you were really cordial, You
Speaker 7: didn't try anything crazy, and you're.
Speaker 2: Not even mad hearing about this like elaborate plan to
Speaker 2: get the guitar back out from under your nose.

Speaker 2: So yeah, okay, Well, clearly there's no connection between the
Speaker 2: two of you. But Megan, Michael did want to get
Speaker 2: some dating advice out of this segment. Do you have
Speaker 2: any that you want to share with him to maybe
Speaker 2: help him out going forward?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Michael, you definitely got to be more aware of
Speaker 7: your surroundings and don't bring people to your house.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's you.
Speaker 3: Notice one stopped you to a grocery store.
Speaker 1: Just assume everybody wants to steal something from you.

Speaker 2: gonna steal from me anyway, might as well just tell you.
Speaker 1: I want to just know.
Speaker 3: I ended that feeling like it was all his fault.
Speaker 3: He should have returned her stuff. Yeah that was a lesson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that for sure was a problem.
Speaker 2: But it's also not great to like create a whole
Speaker 2: ruse about a romantic date and lead a guy on
Speaker 2: just to steal from him.
Speaker 3: Well, if he's not giving a guitar back, I say,
Speaker 3: do what you gotta do, That's what I say.
Speaker 2: Justified, according to absolutely got a little something for themselves
Speaker 2: out of there.
Speaker 5: Luckily.
Speaker 1: That's why the good news is he didn't seem devastated
Speaker 1: by it. He was actually impressed that they were able
Speaker 1: to pull it off, and he laughed.
Speaker 5: He was like, well, I mean, I don't even play guitar.
Speaker 3: It's like, why wasn't he giving it back.
