Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second date, up date, that's a guy.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I can think of a lot of qualities that men
might be looking for in a female companion. You know,
someone who's sweet, who likes to laugh. I didn't hear
any laughter from the ladies and continue, but extra toe
wouldn't say no to that. You never know when you
(00:27):
need a really good backscratch. Just tossed that foot in.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Their work, you know what, the extra But maybe the
number one sexiest quality a woman can have from a
guy's perspective is somebody who is low maintenance.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And apparently that from a guy's perspective, I know the
ladies aren't going to understand that.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Yeah, come perpetive.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
But okay, apparently that's what one of our listeners, Eddie
found recently from his date, who, in typical low maintenance fashion,
is not calling him. I apologize for her actions. I
do not think they're warranted.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Okay, you haven't heard anything about his date.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I am already on Eddie's side.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
How does that feel, Eddie?
Speaker 6 (01:21):
That feels really good?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Oh my god, you guys are like.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Bro bonded or something, right now, where'd you find this
low maintenance woman?
Speaker 6 (01:28):
So we met online on one of those chat sites you.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
Know, Okay, low maintenance girls dot Com.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
Right now, Joe, Yeah, now a.
Speaker 7 (01:38):
Site they're on like once a year. You can only
catch them.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Be on there all the time. But Eddie, what's this
low maintenance woman's name?
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Melanie?
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Melanie?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I mean, did you know from the beginning that she
was someone that, I mean that you were looking for?
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Right? Well, you know what I really liked un your
profile it said that she was low maintenance, so that
that was a gem for me. So I was like,
you know what, prove it?
Speaker 8 (02:04):
Oh no, that really sounds like you're high maintenance.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
You can't say that, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
No, no, So I asked, I asked, you know, do
you want to do a fancy cooking class or play?
She said, we can, but that's not really her thing.
She said, Literally, if you want to grab food and
just watch a movie in the back of your car,
I'm up for it.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
In the back of your car on your phone. I
watched the movie.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Definitely had to be creative. I decided to test it.
So we ended up meeting in one of those parking
lots outside one of those outdoor malls.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
It's also so sketchy.
Speaker 7 (02:48):
Are you going with the back seat of the car.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
Idea. Yeah, I mean I had to test it.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Okay, that's why she's not called here. She actually came.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Yeah, she showed up. She gave me a big hug,
and she looked like her pictures.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That's great, But did you ever warn her that this
was actually the date that you had planned.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
I wanted to be a surprise.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
No, those surprises.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Are typically good things, like you put thought into stuff.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
Look, I like her already. I love low maintenance. But
I think she was saying it.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
As a joke, and low maintenance doesn't mean you don't
want to have someone that's thoughtful.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
Yeah, at least, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
We're already getting all judgmental. We should figure out what
happened when you showed her.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
What the date was.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Yeah, so I said I had a surprise for her.
I took my car, opened the back door, and then
right there there's three big bags of wind bes. You know,
I was being thoughtful. And then I had finding Nemo
playing on a portable DVD play.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Still in a mole parking lot.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
The smell of the fast food in a car, I'm sorry,
it just never sounds good unless you're the one that
orders it and brings it in.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
This come from all the high maintenance women in this
never satisfied with the.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Did she laugh?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
What did she say?
Speaker 7 (04:05):
Blown away? Obviously?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Yeah, yeah, she laughed. But but she wouldn't get in.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
Yeah no, any I mean even the movie choice is
kind of predatory, you know, like feeling.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
It's a Disney movie broke.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, this is all red flags.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Did you get in because she had to push the
other teenager out of the way?
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Exactly, No, she says, she doesn't really know me yet.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Yeah, yeah, okay, I look at that. She's smart. She's
thinking this through at least. Yeah, I didn't think of that.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
You're did you have a plan?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
B So we went to a bar next door. Each
had a beer and I teased her. I was like,
you know, Wendy's is getting cold?
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
The first thing you guys did. You're not still pushing
the Windys. You need to give up on the Windys.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Man. Well, I mean, well it worked because a few
minutes later we were in the back seat watching Find
a Nemo.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Oh dude, what beer?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
She says, Yes, someone needs to talk to this girl.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
We had our burgers, we had our frost sees you.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Know, how is that not melted?
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Can you just let them get through one sentence without judging?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Okay, you slur through the straw? Then what Eddie?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
It wasn't like we were in a movie theater. We've
both seen the movie, so we could talk through it.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
That's true sometimes.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Okay, so you're hanging now. Is she feeling safe and
comfortable with you?
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Yeah? I think so, but it was it was a
little weird because it was good, but we didn't get
to the end of the movie, like about three quarters
into the movie. She says she had to go.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
That's like an hour into the movie, my friend. I
mean she said she was there a while.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Yeah, she was, and I was okay with it because
after so much fast move listen, you don't want to
sit next to me.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Date.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
Okay, it's Wendy's is a delight, But it sounds like
you felt like you left it on an okay note, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Yeah, I thought we did. So I walked into her car.
I gave her a hug, but for some reason I
haven't heard from her since.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
It's a fro movie.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
He walks free drink.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I mean, did you really truly feel like you guys
had a connection though, Eddie, that's that's what matters. I mean.
I know I'm making fun of you for the finding
Nemo and the interesting.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Choices, but you know, I really think that we did.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And you said that she's low maintenance, so maybe she's
playing the really really low maintenance slow game here. I
just hope that she answers the phone when we call
her and get your second date update.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Right, next second date update.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Man, even when a guy does absolutely everything right, women
they just have this way to find something wrong and
spin it against it.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
You're just so picky. Yeah, we are so demanding.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Thank you for finally saying I'm bringing it up because
one of our listeners, Eddie took out a woman named Melanie,
who described herself as low maintenance, and she told him
I'm the type of gal who'd be happy just eating
fast food in the back of a car while watching
a movie. But then, of course, when Eddie shows up
(07:21):
with three bags of Wendy's and finding Nemo on Blu
Ray in his.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Suv, Melanie and all the ladies in the room go, well,
obviously she didn't mean watch a movie in the car.
Say what you mean, ladies, come.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
What we're just taking you literally at what you're saying,
and now we're trying to figure out if Eddie took
things too literally. Brooke, I don't know what advice do
you have for Eddie that he needs to decipher what
you really mean.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Eddie, I think one.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Of the hard pieces for me listening to you to
describe your date was how you kept saying I was
testing her, Like that's always something is like, ugh, that
feels so bad.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
You know, I've been on so many days with women
that say that and they're pretty high maintenance and they
just don't know it.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Okay, did you Did you tell her that you were
testing her though, Like I'm wondering if that was maybe
part of the problem.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I definitely wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh okay, works really well when you're like, hey, by
the way, this is a big test.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
So you got her answer.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Right easily said in the back, Hey, I was just
doing this date because you said you were a low
maintenance and I just wanted to see if that.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Was right, and that would have come off sexy to you.
Speaker 8 (08:32):
If he said that, then if that's why she's not
calling him back.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
He's damned if he does. He's damned if he doesn't.
Full date, a terrible date that.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
She suggested doing him and he just listened to But
what do we know. Let's just call her and hear
what she asked to say.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Ready to do this, Eddie, Ready as I'll ever be?
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Here we go.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
Hello, hey's a Melanie.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
This is shename Melanie. My name is jeff from the
radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
I had to feel like Brook should take it from here.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
What I.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Up?
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I screwed it up because I giggled Melanie, Melanie.
Speaker 9 (09:18):
I'm I'm good. What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Great question?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, well it's not really what you could do for us,
but what you could do for one of our listeners
that you went out on a date with named Eddie.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
Okay, and who is this again?
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Who am I?
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Yeah? We're brooking Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
We're a radio show, and we're trying to help Eddie
figure out what went wrong or if anything did go
wrong on your date, because he told us a little
bit about it. He's not sure if he made some mistakes.
But we just like to know what you think of Eddie.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
You know, I guess when I first met him, I
thought that he was kind of funny.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Okay, can I just ask, Like, you show up to
a mall parking lot and this guy opens the door
and he's got Finding Nemo and Wendy's in the back seat.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
What are you thinking.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
In that moment?
Speaker 9 (10:08):
I kind of I kind of had that lady feeling
of like I put myself in this situation because I
made a joke.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
It was a joke.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
It was a joke. Did you say before you told him?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Though?
Speaker 7 (10:21):
By the way, what I'm about to tell you as
a joke.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
Oh, It's always fun to be with someone that you
have to establish what is a joke and what isn't
every time you talk.
Speaker 9 (10:28):
I wanted to give him the benefit of a doubt
because I don't know, texting is hard, and like maybe
it was just interpreted. You know, We've been getting along
as we've been talking, you know, online, and I just
figured it might as well be worth it to take
the shot. We had our food back there, and it
seemed like it was kind of fun at first, but
(10:50):
the vibe just changed like drastically once the movie started.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
What do you mean once Finding Nemo came on? Is
that what it was?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
He said?
Speaker 9 (11:05):
I definitely will remember that it's called finding Nemo, because
that was one of the big issues that he kept
coming back to. He was getting like super agitated by
the storyline.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
He was agitated, oh to.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
A point where he was like changing color in his face,
like why can't they find that damn fish and like that.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Where the hell is it?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
We need to get a private investigator on this because
is taking too long?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Was that a joke that I mean, maybe you guys
just don't understand type each other's type of humor, right
and listen.
Speaker 9 (11:41):
And when I say I'm loane maintenance, I mean like
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
I'm not holding a lot of judgment. But this guy
would not let this go. He just it was getting
heated and like he's over there ranting and raving about
how it should be called losing Nemo and.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
A fair point.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
But but the thing is that was weird. But he
turned off the TV and then he suggested that I
could help him find the real Nemo in the back seat,
and I just.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Is that, Like He's like, I've hid in a fish somewhere.
What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Was he like it was it a sexual I think
it was is that. Whatdo I don't know.
Speaker 9 (12:30):
It just went from like a little awkward first date
misunderstandings to like really creepy really fast. That kind of
sealed the deal.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Okay, well, there's been a lot of misunderstandings happening this
entire I don't know, there's a lot of misunderstandings, and
maybe we should actually give Eddie a chance to explain himself,
because Melanie, he's actually on the line listening right now
and he wants to talk to you.
Speaker 9 (13:04):
I'm sorry, he's like on the phone.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I think he needed to hear that to be honest.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
Yeah, Eddie there, yep, right here?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Are you dying of embarrassment?
Speaker 8 (13:13):
Eddie?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Now?
Speaker 6 (13:15):
I mean, look, there's a lot of emotions in that movie.
You know. It just turned me on?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Wait what wit what it turns you on?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
There's just so much emotion. I mean, how can I
not be turned on? You know? Look, as a guy,
it's hard to be smooth and funny and not get judged.
And you know what I feel judge right now?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You were smooth or funny though You're you're saying that
you were like using a pickup line on her with
you want to find nemo in the back seat.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Yeah, you know, trying to be smooth, trying to be funny.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
Look, I.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Can identify with that that sometimes it's hard to think
of the smooth line in the middle of the date,
especially when you have a Disney.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Movie on Golden ruled to stay away from using Disney
and sexual and windows in the same sentence.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
There's a way that it can be.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Don't do it.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
I have the star that you can wish upon, don't.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
You Tinkerbell all of a sudden.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
I'm just trying to help our listener here.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Somehow, I think I think, I think maybe we were
just miscommunicating. You know what, how about we do a redo.
We could do a redo, and I promise you if
we watch a movie like Finding Dory, that Dore's nothing
for me, you know, so.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I hope that fish stouts.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Yeah, it's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Generous fan, Okay, I mean, how does hearing all that
make you feel?
Speaker 9 (14:47):
I think I am just not the right fish in
your sea?
Speaker 7 (14:51):
Ed it works when you're shutting somebody down, Are you sure?
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Because there's not a lot of fish me.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
It was pretty rare.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
I feel maybe, aren't there like a ton of melody?
Speaker 9 (15:07):
I gotta tell you you're you're a pretty common fish, my friend.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I think you got the clown fish right.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah? Is that what you're feeling like, Eddie? Are you
doing okay? You learn anything here?
Speaker 6 (15:18):
I don't know. Maybe she was taking it the wrong way,
but I felt like I was being pretty romantic.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Boy oh boy, she says, Oh boy boy.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Definitely lesson learned, though, Eddie. If you do exactly what
the woman says, she'll eventually hate you.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
That is exactly a lesson.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
That's exactly what I've learned.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
That's why we're never going to get anywhere, jeff So.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
We're getting everywhere? Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I am sorry this didn't work out for you, Eddie,
but I think there is some girl out there who
is going to be willing to help you find your NEMO.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
To your toy story, your own No, it doesn't. That's
not appropriate.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Looking Jeffrey in the morning, I can't say I'm surprised
that that second date update didn't work out?
Speaker 8 (16:10):
Yeah, no, do you think, Jeff I know, I mean,
I know you tried to stick up for Eddie, but
it got harder and harder, didn't it.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, it did.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I can't be honest and say I actually wanted to
stick up for him in the first place, but part
of my job is trying to come through for the listeners.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
You were the only ones sticking up.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
I was like, can't sometimes just the goal be to
everyone learned a lesson here ya.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
I don't think Eddie is an NPR bro.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
I just I'm just really concerned about Eddie.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Let's just imagine, though, for a second, that it actually
worked out between those two. How cute would it have
been at their wedding for them to say we conceived
a child.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
In the back seat because he told me to find
and I did. I found him.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
It would have been one of those weddings where the
bride would go up to the maid of honor and say,
don't mention anything about how we really met.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Didn't tell my grandma.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Okay, let's skip the NEMO part. But we did meet
in the back of a I'm.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Not saying missed an opportunity today, but if you don't
want to miss out on an opportunity, make sure you're
emailing the show so we can call the person who
isn't calling you back. Also, check out all our second
dates up online at Brook and
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Jeffrey Brook and Jeffrey in the morning,
Second date, up date, that's a guy.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I can think of a lot of qualities that men
might be looking for in a female companion. You know,
someone who's sweet, who likes to laugh. I didn't hear
any laughter from the ladies and continue, but extra toe
wouldn't say no to that. You never know when you
(00:27):
need a really good backscratch. Just tossed that foot in.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Their work, you know what, the extra But maybe the
number one sexiest quality a woman can have from a
guy's perspective is somebody who is low maintenance.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And apparently that from a guy's perspective, I know the
ladies aren't going to understand that.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Yeah, come perpetive.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
But okay, apparently that's what one of our listeners, Eddie
found recently from his date, who, in typical low maintenance fashion,
is not calling him. I apologize for her actions. I
do not think they're warranted.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Okay, you haven't heard anything about his date.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I am already on Eddie's side.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
How does that feel, Eddie?
Speaker 6 (01:21):
That feels really good?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Oh my god, you guys are like.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Bro bonded or something, right now, where'd you find this
low maintenance woman?
Speaker 6 (01:28):
So we met online on one of those chat sites you.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
Know, Okay, low maintenance girls dot Com.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
Right now, Joe, Yeah, now a.
Speaker 7 (01:38):
Site they're on like once a year. You can only
catch them.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Be on there all the time. But Eddie, what's this
low maintenance woman's name?
Speaker 6 (01:49):
Melanie?
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Melanie?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I mean, did you know from the beginning that she
was someone that, I mean that you were looking for?
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Right? Well, you know what I really liked un your
profile it said that she was low maintenance, so that
that was a gem for me. So I was like,
you know what, prove it?
Speaker 8 (02:04):
Oh no, that really sounds like you're high maintenance.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
You can't say that, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
No, no, So I asked, I asked, you know, do
you want to do a fancy cooking class or play?
She said, we can, but that's not really her thing.
She said, Literally, if you want to grab food and
just watch a movie in the back of your car,
I'm up for it.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
In the back of your car on your phone. I
watched the movie.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Definitely had to be creative. I decided to test it.
So we ended up meeting in one of those parking
lots outside one of those outdoor malls.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
It's also so sketchy.
Speaker 7 (02:48):
Are you going with the back seat of the car.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
Idea. Yeah, I mean I had to test it.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Okay, that's why she's not called here. She actually came.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Yeah, she showed up. She gave me a big hug,
and she looked like her pictures.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That's great, But did you ever warn her that this
was actually the date that you had planned.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
I wanted to be a surprise.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
No, those surprises.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Are typically good things, like you put thought into stuff.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
Look, I like her already. I love low maintenance. But
I think she was saying it.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
As a joke, and low maintenance doesn't mean you don't
want to have someone that's thoughtful.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
Yeah, at least, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
We're already getting all judgmental. We should figure out what
happened when you showed her.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
What the date was.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Yeah, so I said I had a surprise for her.
I took my car, opened the back door, and then
right there there's three big bags of wind bes. You know,
I was being thoughtful. And then I had finding Nemo
playing on a portable DVD play.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Still in a mole parking lot.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
The smell of the fast food in a car, I'm sorry,
it just never sounds good unless you're the one that
orders it and brings it in.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
This come from all the high maintenance women in this
never satisfied with the.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Did she laugh?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
What did she say?
Speaker 7 (04:05):
Blown away? Obviously?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Yeah, yeah, she laughed. But but she wouldn't get in.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
Yeah no, any I mean even the movie choice is
kind of predatory, you know, like feeling.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
It's a Disney movie broke.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, this is all red flags.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Did you get in because she had to push the
other teenager out of the way?
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Exactly, No, she says, she doesn't really know me yet.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Yeah, yeah, okay, I look at that. She's smart. She's
thinking this through at least. Yeah, I didn't think of that.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
You're did you have a plan?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
B So we went to a bar next door. Each
had a beer and I teased her. I was like,
you know, Wendy's is getting cold?
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
The first thing you guys did. You're not still pushing
the Windys. You need to give up on the Windys.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
Man. Well, I mean, well it worked because a few
minutes later we were in the back seat watching Find
a Nemo.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Oh dude, what beer?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
She says, Yes, someone needs to talk to this girl.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
We had our burgers, we had our frost sees you.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Know, how is that not melted?
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Can you just let them get through one sentence without judging?
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Okay, you slur through the straw? Then what Eddie?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
It wasn't like we were in a movie theater. We've
both seen the movie, so we could talk through it.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
That's true sometimes.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Okay, so you're hanging now. Is she feeling safe and
comfortable with you?
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Yeah? I think so, but it was it was a
little weird because it was good, but we didn't get
to the end of the movie, like about three quarters
into the movie. She says she had to go.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
That's like an hour into the movie, my friend. I
mean she said she was there a while.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Yeah, she was, and I was okay with it because
after so much fast move listen, you don't want to
sit next to me.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Date.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
Okay, it's Wendy's is a delight, But it sounds like
you felt like you left it on an okay note, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Yeah, I thought we did. So I walked into her car.
I gave her a hug, but for some reason I
haven't heard from her since.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
It's a fro movie.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
He walks free drink.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I mean, did you really truly feel like you guys
had a connection though, Eddie, that's that's what matters. I mean.
I know I'm making fun of you for the finding
Nemo and the interesting.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Choices, but you know, I really think that we did.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And you said that she's low maintenance, so maybe she's
playing the really really low maintenance slow game here. I
just hope that she answers the phone when we call
her and get your second date update.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Right, next second date update.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Man, even when a guy does absolutely everything right, women
they just have this way to find something wrong and
spin it against it.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
You're just so picky. Yeah, we are so demanding.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Thank you for finally saying I'm bringing it up because
one of our listeners, Eddie took out a woman named Melanie,
who described herself as low maintenance, and she told him
I'm the type of gal who'd be happy just eating
fast food in the back of a car while watching
a movie. But then, of course, when Eddie shows up
(07:21):
with three bags of Wendy's and finding Nemo on Blu
Ray in his.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Suv, Melanie and all the ladies in the room go, well,
obviously she didn't mean watch a movie in the car.
Say what you mean, ladies, come.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
What we're just taking you literally at what you're saying,
and now we're trying to figure out if Eddie took
things too literally. Brooke, I don't know what advice do
you have for Eddie that he needs to decipher what
you really mean.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Eddie, I think one.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Of the hard pieces for me listening to you to
describe your date was how you kept saying I was
testing her, Like that's always something is like, ugh, that
feels so bad.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
You know, I've been on so many days with women
that say that and they're pretty high maintenance and they
just don't know it.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Okay, did you Did you tell her that you were
testing her though, Like I'm wondering if that was maybe
part of the problem.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I definitely wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh okay, works really well when you're like, hey, by
the way, this is a big test.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
So you got her answer.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Right easily said in the back, Hey, I was just
doing this date because you said you were a low
maintenance and I just wanted to see if that.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Was right, and that would have come off sexy to you.
Speaker 8 (08:32):
If he said that, then if that's why she's not
calling him back.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
He's damned if he does. He's damned if he doesn't.
Full date, a terrible date that.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
She suggested doing him and he just listened to But
what do we know. Let's just call her and hear
what she asked to say.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Ready to do this, Eddie, Ready as I'll ever be?
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Here we go.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
Hello, hey's a Melanie.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
This is shename Melanie. My name is jeff from the
radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
I had to feel like Brook should take it from here.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
What I.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Up?
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I screwed it up because I giggled Melanie, Melanie.
Speaker 9 (09:18):
I'm I'm good. What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Great question?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, well it's not really what you could do for us,
but what you could do for one of our listeners
that you went out on a date with named Eddie.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
Okay, and who is this again?
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Who am I?
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Yeah? We're brooking Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
We're a radio show, and we're trying to help Eddie
figure out what went wrong or if anything did go
wrong on your date, because he told us a little
bit about it. He's not sure if he made some mistakes.
But we just like to know what you think of Eddie.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
You know, I guess when I first met him, I
thought that he was kind of funny.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Okay, can I just ask, Like, you show up to
a mall parking lot and this guy opens the door
and he's got Finding Nemo and Wendy's in the back seat.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
What are you thinking.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
In that moment?
Speaker 9 (10:08):
I kind of I kind of had that lady feeling
of like I put myself in this situation because I
made a joke.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
It was a joke.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
It was a joke. Did you say before you told him?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Though?
Speaker 7 (10:21):
By the way, what I'm about to tell you as
a joke.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
Oh, It's always fun to be with someone that you
have to establish what is a joke and what isn't
every time you talk.
Speaker 9 (10:28):
I wanted to give him the benefit of a doubt
because I don't know, texting is hard, and like maybe
it was just interpreted. You know, We've been getting along
as we've been talking, you know, online, and I just
figured it might as well be worth it to take
the shot. We had our food back there, and it
seemed like it was kind of fun at first, but
(10:50):
the vibe just changed like drastically once the movie started.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
What do you mean once Finding Nemo came on? Is
that what it was?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
He said?
Speaker 9 (11:05):
I definitely will remember that it's called finding Nemo, because
that was one of the big issues that he kept
coming back to. He was getting like super agitated by
the storyline.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
He was agitated, oh to.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
A point where he was like changing color in his face,
like why can't they find that damn fish and like that.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
Where the hell is it?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
We need to get a private investigator on this because
is taking too long?
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Was that a joke that I mean, maybe you guys
just don't understand type each other's type of humor, right
and listen.
Speaker 9 (11:41):
And when I say I'm loane maintenance, I mean like
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
I'm not holding a lot of judgment. But this guy
would not let this go. He just it was getting
heated and like he's over there ranting and raving about
how it should be called losing Nemo and.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
A fair point.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
But but the thing is that was weird. But he
turned off the TV and then he suggested that I
could help him find the real Nemo in the back seat,
and I just.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Is that, Like He's like, I've hid in a fish somewhere.
What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Was he like it was it a sexual I think
it was is that. Whatdo I don't know.
Speaker 9 (12:30):
It just went from like a little awkward first date
misunderstandings to like really creepy really fast. That kind of
sealed the deal.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Okay, well, there's been a lot of misunderstandings happening this
entire I don't know, there's a lot of misunderstandings, and
maybe we should actually give Eddie a chance to explain himself,
because Melanie, he's actually on the line listening right now
and he wants to talk to you.
Speaker 9 (13:04):
I'm sorry, he's like on the phone.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
I think he needed to hear that to be honest.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
Yeah, Eddie there, yep, right here?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Are you dying of embarrassment?
Speaker 8 (13:13):
Eddie?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Now?
Speaker 6 (13:15):
I mean, look, there's a lot of emotions in that movie.
You know. It just turned me on?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Wait what wit what it turns you on?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
There's just so much emotion. I mean, how can I
not be turned on? You know? Look, as a guy,
it's hard to be smooth and funny and not get judged.
And you know what I feel judge right now?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You were smooth or funny though You're you're saying that
you were like using a pickup line on her with
you want to find nemo in the back seat.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
Yeah, you know, trying to be smooth, trying to be funny.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
Look, I.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Can identify with that that sometimes it's hard to think
of the smooth line in the middle of the date,
especially when you have a Disney.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Movie on Golden ruled to stay away from using Disney
and sexual and windows in the same sentence.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
There's a way that it can be.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Don't do it.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
I have the star that you can wish upon, don't.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
You Tinkerbell all of a sudden.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
I'm just trying to help our listener here.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Somehow, I think I think, I think maybe we were
just miscommunicating. You know what, how about we do a redo.
We could do a redo, and I promise you if
we watch a movie like Finding Dory, that Dore's nothing
for me, you know, so.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I hope that fish stouts.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Yeah, it's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Generous fan, Okay, I mean, how does hearing all that
make you feel?
Speaker 9 (14:47):
I think I am just not the right fish in
your sea?
Speaker 7 (14:51):
Ed it works when you're shutting somebody down, Are you sure?
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Because there's not a lot of fish me.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
It was pretty rare.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
I feel maybe, aren't there like a ton of melody?
Speaker 9 (15:07):
I gotta tell you you're you're a pretty common fish, my friend.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
I think you got the clown fish right.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah? Is that what you're feeling like, Eddie? Are you
doing okay? You learn anything here?
Speaker 6 (15:18):
I don't know. Maybe she was taking it the wrong way,
but I felt like I was being pretty romantic.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Boy oh boy, she says, Oh boy boy.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Definitely lesson learned, though, Eddie. If you do exactly what
the woman says, she'll eventually hate you.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
That is exactly a lesson.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
That's exactly what I've learned.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
That's why we're never going to get anywhere, jeff So.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
We're getting everywhere? Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I am sorry this didn't work out for you, Eddie,
but I think there is some girl out there who
is going to be willing to help you find your NEMO.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
To your toy story, your own No, it doesn't. That's
not appropriate.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Looking Jeffrey in the morning, I can't say I'm surprised
that that second date update didn't work out?
Speaker 8 (16:10):
Yeah, no, do you think, Jeff I know, I mean,
I know you tried to stick up for Eddie, but
it got harder and harder, didn't it.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, it did.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I can't be honest and say I actually wanted to
stick up for him in the first place, but part
of my job is trying to come through for the listeners.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
You were the only ones sticking up.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
I was like, can't sometimes just the goal be to
everyone learned a lesson here ya.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
I don't think Eddie is an NPR bro.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
I just I'm just really concerned about Eddie.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Let's just imagine, though, for a second, that it actually
worked out between those two. How cute would it have
been at their wedding for them to say we conceived
a child.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
In the back seat because he told me to find
and I did. I found him.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
It would have been one of those weddings where the
bride would go up to the maid of honor and say,
don't mention anything about how we really met.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Didn't tell my grandma.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Okay, let's skip the NEMO part. But we did meet
in the back of a I'm.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Not saying missed an opportunity today, but if you don't
want to miss out on an opportunity, make sure you're
emailing the show so we can call the person who
isn't calling you back. Also, check out all our second
dates up online at Brook and
