Speaker 1: Second date of date.
Speaker 2: So I never do this, but in the interest of
Speaker 2: saving time here, because this is a more involved date
Speaker 2: than we normally get, I need to read a little
Speaker 2: bit from Josh's email before we bring him on the phone.
Speaker 3: Oh I love this, Okay, Josh, is.
Speaker 2: That cool with you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course okay, Because he basically transcripted out his
Speaker 2: entire online conversation with this girl, Hayley, Oh, he did
Speaker 2: and said she's very good looking. So he went above
Speaker 2: and beyond for her because they matched on Hinge and
Speaker 2: one of her dating prompts said dating me is like
Speaker 2: an adventure. I'm spicy, spontaneous and sweet. And Josh replied
Speaker 2: to that saying, well, if we ever went out, we'd
Speaker 2: meet somewhere and I'd give you the option of choosing
Speaker 2: one of three adventure envelopes. Whatever one you pick will do.
Speaker 2: And I promise none of them say go back to
Speaker 2: my place inside.
Speaker 4: Hah.
Speaker 3: That'd be quite the trick if the all three of
Speaker 3: them said that.
Speaker 4: Ye.
Speaker 2: And two weeks later, she finally responds to.
Speaker 3: That, saying, oh two weeks wow.
Speaker 2: I'm intrigued. Wow, And so he wrote back intrigued, just
Speaker 2: wait til you see what's behind envelope number three?
Speaker 3: What is it? I want to know?
Speaker 2: It's kind of teasing her.
Speaker 3: Here, Dude, that's really good, And she.
Speaker 2: Asked him, do I get an idea of the types
Speaker 2: of things in each envelope? And he told her, sure,
Speaker 2: exactly from your bio envelope number one, spicy, envelope number
Speaker 2: two sweet, and envelope number three spontaneous, all three like food.
Speaker 4: I mean, I did also draw the analogy to that
Speaker 4: competitions for all.
Speaker 2: But look how interested you all are in finding out what.
Speaker 4: Is brilliant and better have done the envelope date because
Speaker 4: I Am going to be horribly disappointed if I don't
Speaker 4: find out what's in these things after all this.
Speaker 2: That is how Josh locked down a date here with Haley. So, Josh,
Speaker 2: this is really elaborate.
Speaker 1: Man. Thanks. I guess I don't know. I guess I
Speaker 1: just wanted to put an effort. Dude.
Speaker 2: It's awesome, But you are building yourself up pretty big here,
Speaker 2: Like I would think the dates have to be really
Speaker 2: really special because if she picked spicy date and then
Speaker 2: you just ended up going to like McDonald's and trying
Speaker 2: the Mick Chipotle milkshake, that would be kind of a
Speaker 2: letdown after all this build up.
Speaker 1: That's the worst case scenario. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: you've got to realize the bar has kind of been
Speaker 1: set pretty low these days from what I hear. So
Speaker 1: at the same time, too liked be a little bit
Speaker 1: classer than.
Speaker 3: That, like a taco, like a taco truck special.
Speaker 2: But that's such a big build up to end up
Speaker 2: just going to a taco truck. Why not just go
Speaker 2: to a taco truck.
Speaker 4: He's not putting on the Bachelor right now, Jeffrey. He's
Speaker 4: just trying to make like the intro to something a
Speaker 4: little bit more enticing.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: What envelope did she pick.
Speaker 1: She went with spontaneousous.
Speaker 2: So she opened the spontaneous envelope and what was inside, well.
Speaker 1: So we made up at the spot that I told
Speaker 1: her to public area, don't worry about it, Oh god.
Speaker 1: And inside there was a piece of paper.
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 2: Oh how wild scotcha?
Speaker 3: What was on the paper?
Speaker 1: On the paper it said follow.
Speaker 3: The arrows, Follow the arrows.
Speaker 2: What does that mean? There's an arrow on your chest
Speaker 2: pointing down?
Speaker 3: That would have been terrible. I'm sorry, Go ahead, bro, Yeah,
Speaker 3: where are the arrows.
Speaker 1: So there is an arrow like she finally finds one
Speaker 1: on the craft and it led to the corner and
Speaker 1: there was another arrow there.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's it's like your date is following a GPS
Speaker 2: system like turn left here, turn right in ninety feet walking.
Speaker 1: Date, No, no, no, no, I wasn't trying to get my
Speaker 1: steps in or anything like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, where did they end up?
Speaker 1: They're in a circle right right. And meanwhile, by the way,
Speaker 1: she's loving this. I'm laughing. She's like looking at me like.
Speaker 3: Where they go?
Speaker 1: Josh, So finally there is, you know, one of those
Speaker 1: like merge arrow signs.
Speaker 2: I want less details on the arrows. I just want
Speaker 2: to know where you were, all right.
Speaker 1: I had taped an envelope on the back of the on.
Speaker 4: The merge sign of the highway, just about to get
Speaker 4: the street.
Speaker 1: I didn't put her in their life.
Speaker 4: Okay, so that we have another envelope. What's in the
Speaker 4: second envelope?
Speaker 1: So we were right by the train station. It was
Speaker 1: basically a made up coupon and said, hey, we can
Speaker 1: stop at any of the stops and stop at a
Speaker 1: restaurant at any of these places in town.
Speaker 4: You're not talking amtrak or something. We're talking just like
Speaker 4: the local. Yeah, yeah, you tricked her onto Mass Transit
Speaker 4: after walking through a bunchetus.
Speaker 2: I kind of take back what I said earlier. You
Speaker 2: should have just done the taco truck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who would say there wasn't a taco truck where
Speaker 1: we were going?
Speaker 2: Was there a taco truck?
Speaker 1: All right? All right? We go end up going to
Speaker 1: this small little restaurant in this terminal town. We have
Speaker 1: a wonderful dinner. We got to know each other along
Speaker 1: the way on the train, which is awesome. And at
Speaker 1: the end of the meal, reach it in my jacket
Speaker 1: and I pull out of flour and a note and
Speaker 1: it says I had a great time.
Speaker 2: So and it says follow the arrows home.
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 2: So at the end of the night, looking back on it,
Speaker 2: were you thankful that she chose the spontaneous date as
Speaker 2: opposed to one of the others Spici or Sweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was kind of a wild card
Speaker 1: either way. I mean I thought all of them were
Speaker 1: pretty awesome.
Speaker 2: Okay, did you get a vibe on what she thought
Speaker 2: of the spontaneous date?
Speaker 1: I thought she really enjoyed it, you know, I was
Speaker 1: using her smiling and laughing and what I thought was
Speaker 1: good rapport, as is the judgment for.
Speaker 3: This, It actually sounds pretty cute and romantic. How did
Speaker 3: you guys end it?
Speaker 1: So we took an uber back and I dropped her
Speaker 1: out at her place and just you know, made sure
Speaker 1: she got in Okay, small kiss and that was it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I texted basically, hey, I had a nice time,
Speaker 1: and she responded like so did I And that's basically
Speaker 1: been it.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean she did take two weeks to even
Speaker 4: respond to your initial direct message, so maybe she's just slowmover.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's busy.
Speaker 2: She dates at a turtle's pace. Yeah, or maybe she
Speaker 2: even went back to the arrows looking for alternative routes
Speaker 2: anything that she missed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, she merged correctly.
Speaker 2: Yes, we'll find out what the real answer is when
Speaker 2: we call her and finish your second date update right
Speaker 2: after this.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, I appreciate it. Hold on.
Speaker 2: Date probably the most elaborate first date that we've ever
Speaker 2: heard on the show before. Yeah, because to recap, Josh
Speaker 2: met a really attractive girl online and got her to
Speaker 2: talk to him by setting up a big adventure date
Speaker 2: with three mystery envelopes all based on how she described
Speaker 2: her self in her profile spicy, sweet, and spontaneous. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she chose the spontaneous adventure, which led to basically a
Speaker 2: scavenger hunt for their dinner with a bunch of arrows,
Speaker 2: leading around the city to a busy highway, onto a
Speaker 2: commuter train, over to a nearby town, down to a
Speaker 2: hole in the wall restaurant.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean he got her on public transit and took
Speaker 4: her to a hole in the wall I.
Speaker 2: Mean station, all right, if I'm reading the room right now,
Speaker 2: effort was obviously an a But it sounds like you
Speaker 2: guys aren't all that impressed with how the date turned out.
Speaker 1: Been a little more crazy, like oh, we're swimming with dolphins.
Speaker 3: A fancy car.
Speaker 2: You guys are all hating on him. But he put
Speaker 2: in some real effort to he did, and it's more
Speaker 2: than any any of you jocals have ever had in
Speaker 2: recent years. But Josh, I mean, what do you think
Speaker 2: may have gone wrong? Do you have any regrets about
Speaker 2: how the night panned out?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: No, not really. I mean, like, look, I'm going to
Speaker 1: be completely real with you. I kind of out kicked
Speaker 1: my coverage with her.
Speaker 2: Right that means she's out of this league. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a football analogy.
Speaker 3: Is that what you're now?
Speaker 2: You want us to break down football for you to
Speaker 2: Let's go back to how many arrows were on the
Speaker 2: ground and what the.
Speaker 3: Dude you had to visualize what he was doing?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: I think we just need to call her. Let's just
Speaker 2: call Haley and find out what Haley thought, because that's
Speaker 2: the real issue. You are you ready to do this, Josh,
Speaker 2: Let's do it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, yeah, I need you guys.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is also kind of spontaneous.
Speaker 3: This is actually very spantigo.
Speaker 2: Let's kick off this by calling her. That's a sports reference.
Speaker 3: Brook, It wasn't a very good one.
Speaker 2: It's baseball. But yeah, so here we go the first.
Speaker 2: All right, let's score a home run and call this school.
Speaker 2: All right, boy, let's go.
Speaker 1: Hello.
Speaker 2: Hey, is this Haley?
Speaker 1: Yeah, piss is Hey.
Speaker 2: We're a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 3: Haley.
Speaker 2: Whole show's on the phone right now, dying to talk
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 3: Honestly, that's true. We're really excited to hear from you.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, we.
Speaker 2: Want to ask you about a date that you went
Speaker 2: on recently with one of our listeners named Josh.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's this about?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: It's part of a segment that we do call the
Speaker 2: second Date Update. And so Josh told us about the
Speaker 2: date that he set up for you, which sounded pretty elaborate.
Speaker 4: Did We were all hooked when he I mean, he
Speaker 4: told us about the direct message and about how he
Speaker 4: said he has three different envelopes for you to choose from. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't know what he's really told you.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I know it probably sounds creepy that we already
Speaker 2: know everything about your date and we're really excited about it, but.
Speaker 3: We're loving vicariously, so just let us.
Speaker 2: We really want to help out Josh, because he told
Speaker 2: us the night went pretty well.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, that was the probably the most elaborate
Speaker 1: and thoughtful date I've been on.
Speaker 3: Oh so nice. I bet that made you feel really special.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was totally impressed by his effort and like
Speaker 1: all the thought he put into every detail.
Speaker 3: So are you just like busy and that's why you're
Speaker 3: not calling it back?
Speaker 2: Or were there not enough arrows in the scavenger because
Speaker 2: that was a fear?
Speaker 1: No? I mean, I think everything happens for a reason.
Speaker 3: Okay, what does that mean? Yeah, I mean I wouldn't
Speaker 3: take that date back for anything.
Speaker 2: That's nice.
Speaker 3: We'd never hear.
Speaker 2: It's nice. But I feel like there's a butt coming.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I wouldn't mean I wouldn't do it again.
Speaker 2: What that's okay? There's other date options, apparently, at least
Speaker 2: two more. Yeah, spicy and sweet?
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you do it again?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: When we uh got to the restaurant, the waiter was
Speaker 2: was so cute.
Speaker 3: What yeah?
Speaker 1: And uh there was more attraction there.
Speaker 4: At the hole in the wall restaurant you guys went to,
Speaker 4: you found a hot waiter.
Speaker 2: Brook wants to know the name of the restaurant so
Speaker 2: that she could go there and check him out.
Speaker 3: I mean, how does that even happen?
Speaker 4: How would a guy even hit on you while you're
Speaker 4: on a date with somebody else? Like, isn't that just
Speaker 4: a red flag right there?
Speaker 1: He didn't hit on me. I could just feel the
Speaker 1: energy between us.
Speaker 4: It was I mean, it was just you know, how
Speaker 4: you know something sort of meant to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, it's just like sometimes the way he says something
Speaker 2: like would you like any pepper on that salad?
Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't like that, and so I followed my
Speaker 1: gut and went back to the restaurant.
Speaker 2: Wait after the date was over, Yeah, the same night.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I did.
Speaker 3: What you asked the waiter out.
Speaker 4: You're dating the waiter.
Speaker 3: What what is happening?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've been on three dates and we're not slowing down.
Speaker 3: Oh god, it's kind of cute, friend, though.
Speaker 2: I know the fact that Josh has been hearing all
Speaker 2: of this and it's not said a word. Yeah, because Haley,
Speaker 2: he's on the phone. Yeah, sorry, Josh has been listening
Speaker 2: this whole time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now I heard the whole thing.
Speaker 3: She really she really lived up to this spontaneous stable.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, tables really turned on. The whole spontaneous thing.
Speaker 1: You know. Just sucks.
Speaker 4: I just really, I'm sorry, but I'm so happy that
Speaker 4: we out and we got to know each other.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's thrilling, absolutely thrilling. You could have
Speaker 1: just told me, you know, don't leave me like hanging
Speaker 1: on the line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a hard thing to tell somebody. I met
Speaker 2: somebody else on the date I was out with you,
Speaker 2: But I.
Speaker 1: Mean, like, make something up, don't you, like ghost like, like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm just not feeling it or whatever, like, come on, yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean maybe, Haley, were you like kind of keeping
Speaker 4: him in your back pocket as a backup plan in
Speaker 4: cases didn't work out.
Speaker 2: Or was there an arrow on the table pointing at
Speaker 2: the waiter and she was just following the arrows?
Speaker 1: Again, I just went where my heart was pointing. Oh man,
Speaker 1: oh god. Seriously, just like.
Speaker 4: Josh, what are the chances like you get on the train,
Speaker 4: you pick a random restaurant and there's.
Speaker 3: An attractive waiter, So yeah.
Speaker 2: You put her on a train to her next boyfriend.
Speaker 2: Your date did work in helping find love, just not
Speaker 2: for your self, yeah, for other people.
Speaker 1: Again, I'm absolutely thrilled about that, John Brideside.
Speaker 2: You have two other dates pre planned and envelopes for
Speaker 2: some other lucky girl out there.
Speaker 1: Silver linings, I guess. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And the silver lining here could be that she didn't
Speaker 2: know you were on the phone listening. So you two
Speaker 2: are together right now, and I'm going to give you
Speaker 2: a chance to win her back right over the phone,
Speaker 2: live on the radio. That must have happened for a reason.
Speaker 2: This is the fourth good read the signs, Haley, Josh,
Speaker 2: the floor is yours.
Speaker 1: Look, Haley, I put in a lot of effort, and
Speaker 1: I think that says a lot about me and the
Speaker 1: kind of person that I am, and definitely way more
Speaker 1: effort than the waiter did. Uh. So you know what
Speaker 1: does he have that I don't.
Speaker 2: Basically an employee discount at that restaurant, for.
Speaker 3: One, but yeah, and also whatever tip money that Josh.
Speaker 2: Left, that's true, But besides that, what else? Harry?
Speaker 1: I mean, I really appreciate the effort, Dush and all
Speaker 1: your thoughts. You're a really special person. But I feel
Speaker 1: that things, again, it will happen for a reason.
Speaker 4: I feel like she's like reading a sign on her
Speaker 4: wall right now.
Speaker 3: It's right off.
Speaker 2: Her family lived with an arrow all over the side,
Speaker 2: all right, So it sounds like we're not going to
Speaker 2: be able to get you another date here, Josh.
Speaker 1: That definitely seems apparent. Yeah, I mean try, all right,
Speaker 1: you guys did try, and I do appreciate that.
Speaker 3: Alright, Yeah, sorry, buddy.
Speaker 2: I'm just curious, like, if you had chosen one of
Speaker 2: the other two envelopes, the spicy or the sweet possibility,
Speaker 2: do you think maybe things could have turned out differently
Speaker 2: and you'd be with Josh.
Speaker 1: Hmm, that's a good question. I think that's the way
Speaker 1: things have just turned out, were the way they were
Speaker 1: supposed to turn out.
Speaker 3: You know, everything happens a little.
Speaker 4: Bit there, freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, lesson learned. If you're a guy and
Speaker 2: you go out with an attractive lady, do not go
Speaker 2: within one hundred yards of any other male. Too risky.
Speaker 2: She's probably going to fall in love and lead.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I don't know where you're going to go
Speaker 3: without men.
Speaker 2: To go someplace where men are rare, like a nail
Speaker 2: salon O often. Yeah, a Bravo convention of Jose's comedy shows.
Speaker 2: It's all ladies at those. Actually, we have a very
Speaker 2: high ratio of ladies dues at my show. I think
Speaker 2: that's our show.
Speaker 4: I'm just going to say, I think he lucked out
Speaker 4: that woman in her motivational quotes.
Speaker 3: I just couldn't take him any.
Speaker 2: Yes, we can officially add everything Happens for a reason
Speaker 2: to the list of most hated single dating quotes, along
Speaker 2: with You'll find love when you least expect it. It
Speaker 2: doesn't count if you're more than second cousins. I heard
Speaker 2: that people say, trust me, but remember, if you ever
Speaker 2: want help getting another date. You can always email the show.
Speaker 2: We'll call that person who isn't calling you back. And
Speaker 2: you can find all our second date podcasts up on
Speaker 2: the Brook and Jeffrey website or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning
