Second date, up date. What happens if you meet someone
on a dating app and you find out that both
of you have been in the dating pool for way
too long? It's like, what's wrong with you? Yeah, that's
when you need to mix it up. Like one of
our listeners, Wayne did recently. Did he suggest both of

(00:21):
them dress up as their favorite power ranger and meet
in front of the police station. That's actually really fun.
He didn't do that. He didn't It would have been
a fantastic idea.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah, that he went a different direction, And now he
says he's living with a medium amount of regret.

Speaker 3 (00:40):

out with. Who's she?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
And Isabella?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (01:06):

maybe you're a little exhausted from online dating.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Definitely.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Okay, are we all.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Okay, I mean, do you still have hope going into
a first date with someone when you're just tired of it?

Speaker 3 (01:20):
All?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I have a sliver of hope, but.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
It's like, all right, give me a reasonably So tell
us about what you wanted to do with Isabella.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh yeah, so Isabella, you know, a couple of weeks
you're chatting and we had really awesome conversations and like
talked about our favorite candy and like our top three?

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, what is your favorite candy? Kidding?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Pieces?

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Okay, interesting, it's not.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
The does your first date have to do with like
a candy shop or something?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
No, but kind of like a game. Well, basically we
had so many fun conversations and she was like, it
never translates into a good first date. And I was like, well,
let's just skip the first date then, and you can
pretend like it's our second or third date.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Oh okay, can you do that?

Speaker 2 (02:13):
I like that, Yeah, you could do that.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
You can act like remember last time when we talked,
why are you telling me the story again?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Already we're getting along so well And she was like, well,
what we pretended it was our one year anniversary?

Speaker 5 (02:32):
Whoa?

Speaker 4 (02:33):
That escalated quickly sir, let's jump right to the divorce
and start breaking up items.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's been one year. You still won't sleep with me.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
When were you into that idea?

Speaker 5 (02:46):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
You know yeah? I was like, why not? What have
we got to lose it this rate?

Speaker 4 (02:51):
And you may get a free dessert out of it
from the restaurant, you know, whenever they know it's an anniversary.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, okay, So what'd you end up doing?

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Oh, we made a reservation for a one year anniversary
and I ordered actually a bottle champagne and.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Oh, you're a good boyfriend. After a whole year.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
We had to put out flowers with a card.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Oh yeah, one.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Year down, forever to go.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I want to steal this one year down Forever to go.
That was the card.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, yeah, wow romantic.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Did she think that's funny or did it feel like
too much to her? Because you really took this too
like a serious level.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
You owned it when we met, like we had the
happy one year like anniversary jokes, and you know she
was into it too. She came with like a president
for me, which I was Yeah. Her present was a
fake coupon book.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
That's really.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, it was done like that, but to kind of
like sarcasts, except free hug. It was like hug yourself
or to the laundry yourself.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh oh, that's more like the ten year anniversary.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
She sounds really funny. Did you guys laugh a lot
on your date?

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, the first like fifteen twenty minutes of the dinner.
It's pretty fun. Okay. Then it got a little serious.
Oh serious, It probably with me. I was too into it,
took it too far because I started kind of telling
her who she can be friends with, you know what,
Like I don't actually know any of her friends, so
I was kind of making it up.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
You turned into the boyfriend that she wants to dump
as well. Yeah, like your friends don't like what the hell?

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Hopefully you told her don't hang around Brooke because she's
a wet blanket about your date idea?

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Oh terrible.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
You know, Lane's a bad influence she you know, Oh, like,
what do you mean? I don't know if she meant
what do you mean? Who's Lane or what?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Because there is no Lane?

Speaker 6 (04:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, totally okay.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
You were a toxic boyfriend?

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, cute?

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Confused, Like what happened to the romantic guy that she
was dating?

Speaker 6 (04:59):
You know?

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Faked?

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I mean I had to have fixed in a little
bit of real fake life.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Dude, that's exactly why she's not calling you.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
You have to create some fake lows to enjoy those
fake highs in your relationships.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
You don't put up with that type of crap in
a relationship.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
You've been single long enough. He has to do something.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
I'm not surprised anymore. There's a reason.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, was that it was there more to the day.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, it kind of got worse, perhaps because then we
kind of shifted in the topic of how to discipline
you know, our kids.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Oh, you don't even have kids.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
No, we don't have kids now, but in the one
anniversary world, it's normal to talk about, you know, how
would you discipline kids.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, you didn't see eye to eye on how to
parent your fake children.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
We were disagreeing a lot about that, and she said
something about my mom being overbearing.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Oh, I mean, how much longer did you guys last
after that?

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Well, you know, it was hard coming out of like
the overbearing mom thing. It got a little awkward. It
just wasn't a good idea.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
All right, man. Well, it sounds like you had a
couple hiccups on the date. Very tiny ones but we're big.
Every relationship goes through these moments before they find they're like, strip,
isn't it right Brooke.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
The first date?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
But on the one year anniversary it makes sense. So
we're gonna play a song, We're gonna come back. We're
gonna call your girlfriend of one year, Isabella, and we're
gonna see if we can get her to go out
with you one more time. Okay, the second time?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Hold on.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Second date update. Jose keeps telling me off the air
that he's gonna steal this date idea I am, even
though the girl clearly isn't calling.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Back after it ended in a total disaster.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
But it's so funny left at each other.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
If a girl isn't calling you back, Jose, usually that's
a bad sign, I know.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
But it's just like, how much fun could you have
imagining your one year anniversity?

Speaker 3 (07:04):
He just wants to be in a relationship so bad.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
But we're talking about one of our listeners, Wayne, who
just went out on a date with someone named Isabella,
and on their first date, they pretended that it was
their one year anniversary, so they set it all up
with champagne and flowers at a restaurant. But Wayne thinks
he may have over committed to the character when he
made some jokey comments about who Isabella can and can't

(07:30):
hang out with and how they are going to parent
their future non existent children someday down the road. It's fake, guys.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
I know, Wayne, why did you go with controlling boyfriend
as your persona?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, I don't know. I wasn't really thinking I was
doing controlling boyfriend. I was just thinking, you know, one
year you have these little like.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Telling someone who they can and can't hang out with
is very controlling.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
I mean I was just looking out for lanes of
bad influence. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
That's not a good lie in my life yet it.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Guys, it's funny.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Didn't your husband buy you a dish rack on your
one year anniversary?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, but he never tried to tell me who I
couldn't couldn't.

Speaker 7 (08:12):
Get in the.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Kitchen and dishes. They'll get the water all over the
counter hanging out, mister clean. So it can't turn out
any worse than that, right, Wayne, Let's just call Isabella
and see how this here we Gonabella, Let's do this. Hello,

(08:37):
Hey is this Isabella? Yes, hey Isabella. My name is
Jeff from a radio show called Brook and Jeffrey in
the Morning.

Speaker 6 (08:46):
Okay, like that, sas, I don't know what it's funny,
really funny.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Isabelle already?

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Hi, this is the whole morning show. That's a Brooke.
You probably know they're social media handle Brook Fox Fox, Yeah,
sure at hilarious everything. Yeah, and then Alexis at Alexis
Fuller sixteen sixteen. Okay, I don't follow you, guys.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
We're not calling because of social media. Just see no foll.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
We're doing a dating segment on this show asking about
somebody that you went out with recently named Wayne.

Speaker 7 (09:27):
Oh oh.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Was that a good?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (09:33):
You want to know, Well, we want to know what
you thought about your date because we've heard a little
bit about it from Wayne, but we'd like to get
your perspective on it. Was it was it producer dancing
at a corner?

Speaker 7 (09:51):
I mean, I think it was a really clever idea
of mine.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Oh yeah, Tod do the one year anniversary thing?

Speaker 7 (09:58):
Yeah, yeah, we love that.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Can you tell Brooke what an amazing idea? That day
was so fun? It sounds like she doesn't believe that
people can have fun doing that.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
I'm not saying it didn't sound fun. It just you know,
I don't know. It depends on what you think, Like
did you think it was fun?

Speaker 7 (10:15):
I mean it started out pretty fun because like it
was billy and just like, yeah, we already know each other.
We've known each other for a year or whatever. But
then like I don't know, we're talking about our family
and there was like this weird moment where I made
this joke about his mom being overbearing and.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Stuff like that, which is a pretty stereotypical mother in
law joke.

Speaker 7 (10:36):
Like absolutely, but his response to that was like, are
you sure you want to eat that pasta? Like I
want you to live alone and help you life, and
I don't know if that could be something that's a
part of your diet.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
He already told me about the friend thing too, Like
why is he doing or.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Does he have kind of a point if he wants
you to live long? And I mean, if he really
cared about.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
You, that is red.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Then he like he like brought up this person I
can't even remember her name, but like he brought up
this person because it's made up or whatever. But he
was like, I don't want you seeing her anymore. He's
bad influence.

Speaker 7 (11:17):
For you, and blah blah, blah and like, yeah, it
was made up, but like kind of a red flag
for me.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
I would have alarm bells going off left and right,
like yeas.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Of like, wait, you made a joke about his mom
being overbearing.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
But it's like a stereotypical joke.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Oh why is that okay?

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Because it's not talking about who he is as a person.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
She's not talking about who she is as a person.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Can I just say something? It wasn't a real person.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Okay, Uh, sorry, that's Wayne Isabella. He just jumped in
the conversation was made up.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Person, Isabella. We were we were in together for one
year anniversary. I don't know what when you talking about
my mom and even though she is very overbearing, you
don't know her on the head.

Speaker 7 (12:05):
Huh, you're not listening like you're saying about the mom.

Speaker 6 (12:10):
And then you completely change around onto me and something
about me as a person, and it's like that didn't
really hit well, you know, we weren't We were joking
about our family, and then suddenly you started telling me
that I shouldn't et costa Like.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeh, family joking is okay, but talking about food that
crosses the line.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
What they can or can't eat, can can't hang out.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
With safety and health and.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Well she's not child, you're not her dad, Like get
out of here, And why do you think boyfriends act
that way?

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Like if you're just even if you're just pretending.

Speaker 7 (12:47):
And like pasta isn't even bad for you?

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Like what are you?

Speaker 6 (12:51):
What are you doing?

Speaker 7 (12:51):
You're basically just feeding into the stereotype that carbs make
you fat, and I'm fat, Like.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I didn't need it like that. I was coming from
the health perspective and daring about you wanting to have
a help long Box's life together.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
No, I mean it'd be one thing if you said
don't smoke, you know.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Sure what's wrong with smoking my cigarettes? You're telling me
what I can and can't do you get her yet?

Speaker 2 (13:27):
I mean if it wasn't positive, there wouldn't be the
freak out.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I mean it seems it seems like a bit freak
out over one thing. Is that all that it was?
He made a bad joke about what she can and
can eat in a fake scenario.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
A lot of the it was a lot of them
making optic stuff, which you know, like there was one
where he was talking about like our kids and disciplining
our kids and I was like, Okay, if we're just
dating on a one year anniversary, that's not something that
you usually talk.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
About, is disciplining your children?

Speaker 7 (13:55):
If you haven't even talked about wanting to have kids yet?

Speaker 2 (13:57):
And I was like, all right, I don't get it.
What are you talking about? We already talked about having
kids at our six months march.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
You forgot that conversation, Isabella.

Speaker 7 (14:08):
God, that conversation maybe happened with another girl.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, I know a lot hotter situation than this. He's
not very funny. Way, come on, man, it's like foreshadowing.
Just a crappy relationship, is what you were doing?

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Like, Brook, she's just against me the whole time.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
You've emailed us for help. Remember that, Brook, This date
idea was all her idea to pretend to be like
a couple a year into a relationship.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
Couple, that's fun, But you pretend European vacation you have.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Now he has to pay for a big euro trip.
She's a bad boyfriend.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Oh, she's obviously going to split the cost, Jeffrey. They're
only been together for one year. Okay, she's an independent
working woman, give her a break.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Is that true? Isabella?

Speaker 7 (14:59):
In the I would absolutely pay my own way, but
like I would appreciate if he offered.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
Conversation.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, would you like to go to Europe with me?
I'll pay for it?

Speaker 7 (15:15):
Yeah, absolutely, way better?

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah it.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Oh wow, the kids behind well, come on, guys. Literally,
I think he tried to take a bad angle as
a joke and it didn't work.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
But I think she was her gut.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
You guys are still laughing right now. You have chemistry. Yeah,
Like we can all tell when a joke is a
joke and when it's not a joke. And I'm not
joking right now. When I say I want to pay
for a second date for both of you, and I
will pay for it, yes, pre Europe, pre Europe. Yes,
just a regular first date and we can pretend that

(15:59):
you guys haven't been dating for a long time anymore,
a real second date.

Speaker 7 (16:04):
I would be okay with a real second date and
just see what he's really like in the present moment
instead of thinking what the future should be.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
My god, I can't believe, Oh my god, I can't
believe you said, Wayne, Are you still You're still up
for this?

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah? Of course she won't regret it at all.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Okay, just no more hypotheticals on your guys.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Dates should not joke at all. Look what happens. True
love prevails even when Brooke tries to actively check.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
I just wish that some of my co hosts could
be more laid back and chill. Mister smooth, get to
I get.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Too worked up.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
I know I shouldn't care as much as I do.
I don't know why it lets me.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
That's the problem. I care what you really cared about
it when you were laying into him for his date,
I cared about her.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
I think those are too many red flags.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
I think Jose summed it up pretty well though when
he said the guy made a couple of mistakes on
the date, but overall it was a fun idea.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah yeah, and then he showed his true colors and
then that's why she should have run.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
But whatever.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Really, you know, I'm happy that they're going out of me.
Jeff Yeah, yeah, I think we got to give them
a break. They were fake people, setting up fake scenarios,
a fake problem making Joe. None of it was real.
They don't actually have these problems between them.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yea.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
They will fake and when they do, they can come
back and we'll do an awkward Tuesday. But in the meantime,
if you ever need help getting a second day, you
can always email the show. We'll call the person who
isn't calling you back and then judge you all the
way till that's right.
