Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second date update.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We've had unlucky second dators return back to the show
looking for another shot at love. What we don't have
that often is second date ease, the people we call
during the segment who don't know who we are, coming
back and asking for our.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Help because they usually don't have a good experience.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Usually people away, But this one in particular was one
of the most popular that we had on all of
last year. I'll just play the clip and I think
most of you will remember. Here's Meghan.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Oh he doesn't remember. Yeah, Okay, I'm not calling him
back because he ate my goldfish, actual fish, you my
actual swimming fish Cleo gone.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, Megan's fish got eight on her dates.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
So she said no to that guy.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Not sure why, but she did email us back saying
that she is now a listener to our show regularly
and she'd like to request our services. So Megan, welcome
back to Brook and Jeffery.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Hi, guys, Please.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Tell me no pets went missing in this latest state.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I haven't even adopted another pet, so.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Ye still living with it?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well, apparently there is a new man that you met recently. Okay,
tell us about your date and who it was. With
where you went, what you ate, why you liked him,
how it ended, and five things that may or may
not have gone wrong.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Cause you're so good a conversation.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, just get all the questions out of the way,
all right.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I went on this date with Mark, very lucky may Okay,
met Mark. Where we met at an art gallery. Actually awesome.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
Was it like one of those openings where it's like
a party almost?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, yes, exactly.
Speaker 7 (01:52):
It was cool.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
So I was just checking out this piece of art
and this cute guy just kind of started talking to
me about it, and we just kept chatting and walking
and we were both very spontaneous. But we just went
out for a very late lunch.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Okay, this is an evening thing.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
This is a daytime.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It's like, oh, I know this spot with all these
food trucks, let's go there.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
So we did, from the art gallery to the food truck.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
I know.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It's really cute.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
I mean, what's nice about it too, is that you
don't have any opportunities for somebody to bail right now.
I think it happens in dating, like even just hanging
out with a friend, like you have so many different
points of contact before the actual hangout where people can
just flake on you.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
You think that, yeah, you'd think that. How So we
get our top, like, we get tacos, and we're like
comparing toppings, were like trying each other's stuff. Like it's
really fun and cute. And I like him. I especially
like him because he's asking me very thoughtful questions.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
What's a thoughtful question?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
He asked me, what is the weirdest compliment I've ever received?
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
And was it that your goldfish taste delicious outside?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I was like, I can't think of anything these Well,
I have one, he said, someone told him that he
has eyes that would make a cat jealous.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
I did.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I kinda laughed because I didn't really know what to.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
Make of it.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I don't understand what that even means.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
I think it was just a setup so that he
could tell you how he had great eyes.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I think he did have nice eyes.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Is there another great question.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
That he had? So we laughed that one off, and
then he goes, all right, well, what is something that
you wouldn't normally tell people on a first date.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
That's a loaded question.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
So I tell him that I've had some family members
might have been in some reenactments of like true their
story might have been in some reenactments of true crime.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Let's say that, Oh, your family has a criminal pass.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
You said it, not me, So.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm just decoding what you said.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
It doesn't sound like your family was a victim, that's
for sure.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah, you know, he was trying to prize some details
at of me. I don't give it to him, and
I go, what about you? And he says, oh, well,
I recently got out of a speeding ticket by looking
like a Jonas brother, which I guess was kind of
his like bad boy trying to relate to crime. I
was like, oh, okay, I don't.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Think anyone ever thought Jonas brothers were bad boys. So
you just like it because it's different conversation than normally
happens on a first date.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, I thought it was at least interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Sounds interesting.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, Now, earlier you mentioned there was no chance for
him to ditch to escape, and he kind of laughed
at that.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
So the final part of our date, we decided to
go into a nearby bookstore and we're just kind of
rusing the aisle and then all of a sudden, it's
like one of those things, you know, like the door
has like a bell attached to it. I hear the
bell ding and I just instinctively look up and there's
Mark and he's just sprinting.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Store.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yes, and he didn't say anything to me.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Did somebody shout, oh my god, it's one of the
Jonas brothers.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
I instantly go to the taco truck.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Oh there was.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
A digestive issue.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
You needed to find a bathroom.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I don't think of that. But he he has my
number and he didn't even like text me to apologize or.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Wait you never saw him again?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
No, no, I'm calling you.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
How rude like you are someone you spend that many
hours and then you you run away.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
But it's like you said, I if there's an emergency
happening in your clothes at the moment, you don't stick
around and explain yourself.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Best case scenario, I know, text you, text you, call you,
say I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
His phone was in his pants. It's all messed up.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I don't know what the answer is, but hopefully he
picks up when we call him and.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
He has some for us.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
When we reach out to Mark, for you and ask
what made you sprint out of the bookstore without saying
goodbye after your awesome insta date.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, we're gonna find out when we do your second
date update right after this. Hold on second date update if.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You're just joining us, We may have uncovered secret audio
of Mark at the very end of his first date
with Meghan.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Wait play again.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
It was too fast.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Uncovered because he literally he's sprinted out of the bookstore
where they were without saying goodbye, leaving Megan wondering what
is going on and who is going to pay for
this fifty Shades of Gray Make your Own Adventure.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Book really smart?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, it always ends weird, but Brooke had a theory
that it was a post taco truck emergency that had
him sprinting out of there. But remember Meghan said that
she liked him because Mark asked unique questions during the
date and that was a big turn.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
On, right Megan.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah, especially for an impromptu date.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, time to prep it.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
I mean, the whole thing felt pretty natural from your
description of it. I can't even think of why why
anyone would run away.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yeah, this was like a really big deal to me
because this is the first connection I've had since I
moved here about a month ago.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Have we considered the fact that he may not be
able to read.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I'm we're laughing and I'm gonna feel really bad.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
We can't hear this, guys, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So, I mean, look, we're all pulling for you because
we don't want you to have no connections in this
new city that you just moved to.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Before moving to a new city can be hard.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, we'll try and help connect you with the guy,
even if you can't read. At least it's somebody that
you can hang out with at night and watch a
TV show.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You can't be picky when you're new in a city.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Take what you get. May make picture books for a reason.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Ye, okay, and we'll upgrade slowly over time if need be.
But first let's call Mark.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
We'll see if he picks up. Hopefully get some answers. Okay,
here we go. Hello, Hey, is this Mark?
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Yes? Who's this? Hey? Mark?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So we didn't catch you in the bathroom or something.
It sounds kind of echoey on your end. Well, I
hope we didn't catch a bad time.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Who are you?
Speaker 8 (08:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, we should tell you. We're a radio show called
Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
Okay, good morning. What's this about.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
You're on your bathroom ratings and reviews?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
This is that's what we do.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
We're like kind of fun, jokey comedy type show. But
one of the big things we do is a dating
segment called second Date Update. I don't know if you're
familiar with it, but one of our listeners reached out
to us because you guys went out the other night.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
She had a really good time. Her name's Meghan. Oh, oh,
oh god.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Okay, yeah, yeah, Well, we have a lot of questions
for you, Mark, the number one question being why did
you sprint out of the bookstore at the end of
the date without saying anything.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Is there a reason behind that?
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Yeah? I definitely had a good reason.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Well, good because we heard about your date. Megan told
us a lot about it, but she has no idea
why you would go running.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Out of that bookstore. Should she know the reason?
Speaker 7 (09:43):
Well, I don't. I don't know. Meghan should know the reason,
I would think, but she really does.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Did you text her or something because she didn't get
your text like there was no explanation from you.
Speaker 9 (09:55):
Nope, nope, I did not text her at all.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
I went to an exhibit and yes, we hit it off.
It was nice.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
And then next thing I know, we're getting a late
lunch and she's telling me that her family is in
the cartel.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
What the family?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Remember?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Oh okay, wait wait wait wait.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Wait wait, hold on. This comes from a question that
you asked her. You asked her one thing that she
would never share on a first date.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Yeah, And I'm glad I did because then she shared
that with me, and I knew to steer clear.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Well hold on a turn off when we heard about it.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
She said that her family had kind of like a
sordid past with maybe some criminal activity.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
I just thought there were some felons, you know, like
yeast a felon.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I mean, mind of.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Satistics show felons are better than the cartel. That is
that our stance.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
It's not necessarily a lifelong decision.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
It's like one bad.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Choice to be a felon.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
The cartel is like you're making yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Market, how did you get to the cartel? From what
she told you?
Speaker 7 (11:07):
She just said it.
Speaker 9 (11:09):
She was like, okay, well, let's just say that, like
what you guys were saying about your families, like there's
some sordid characters or whatever.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
And I pressed, and then she was.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Like, well, yeah, my family is in the cartel. That's
why I had to move cities.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Wait, that's why she had to move cities.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
Yep, that's why I had moved here. They're keeping cabs
on me, but I think we're safe.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Okay, So wait, you learn all this information about her?
How do you go from being in the bookstore with
her to sprinting out, yeah, why did you run before?
Speaker 9 (11:41):
When she said they were keeping cabs on me? I
was sort of like thinking, okay, is there anybody watching
us right now? So I didn't want to just run away,
so I was like, hey, let's go into this bookstore
and then.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Your escape route because they wouldn't see you outside the bookstore.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Running bookstore was It's not like the cartel is tapping
the line right now listening to what you're saying, at least,
we don't think.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
So.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I don't know how they operate, but I do know
Megan is on the other line listening to the.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Callel's a big fan of the second.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Wouldn't be.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
Meg's on the phone right now.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, that's how the sentiment works' she go ahead.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I just want to say, I think you're overreacting a
little bit. I think this is kind of a bit
much given what I mentioned.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Wait, wait, family, what are you talking about? Megan?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
You're joking right.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Well, I can't tell a lot. I can't really share
that in frankly, Mark couldn't have pulled that on the line.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Well he didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
He's just telling us his side of the story.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
Yeah, and I'm glad I did well.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
And that's why I thought that was a conversation just
between you and me. That's why I didn't say the
word cartel. That's why I just said, oh, my family
has a criminal background.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Oh so Mark, Mark?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Cry Okay, Mark, do you want to apologize for outing
her family as part of the cartel?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I would suggest what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Which, if you think about it, this really is your
fault because you are the one who asked me the
question what would I not tell anyone on a first date?
So really it's kind of your fault.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Got a hit on yourself.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Now that you've heard everything, Like, just know we do
want to go on another date? Like yeah, we can't
really like text the name of locations, but we can
like to do a code.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Are you serious.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Joking?
Speaker 6 (13:30):
I can't tell.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I'm a little bit scared. Like Mark, I'm angry.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I want to hang out with her.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Now, Mark, what's your read on how Megan is doing this?
Speaker 7 (13:40):
No, I'm completely against this. I want to protect.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Myself against the cartel. That's not a.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Good idea already out of them. He was the one
who said it. I didn't, Oh, man, I.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Mean would I would be a little bit flattered.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I mean, actually, I'm not going to tell you anything, but.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Get really good present. It's from anybody if you're dating,
like you know what I mean? Oh, yeah, they have money.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I mean, we're trying to keep this light, but I mean,
there's no way that's real.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
I don't believe the reason I'm keeping his light because
I think she's joking the whole time, like nobody's getting
her like dry sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Okay, but she did just move. She told him that
he had had well, yeah, there is some evidence against her.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Can he ever meet your family?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Will he even be able to find them?
Speaker 7 (14:28):
I doubt it. This is real, guys, this is real.
She was serious what she told to be on the date.
She's serious what she's telling you to you. Now.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
Well, I've been going to work and I've been seeing
the same car go round and around in the in
the root between my home and my office.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Are you sure you're not being paranoid?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah? Everybody owns a Tesla, now, dude, seems.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Riskier than saying yes.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
The whole point of this call, Mark is to offer
to send you out on another date with Megan, and
we can't. We won't say where you're going, just because
we want to keep you safe. So we'll use a
code word like I'll love be bioteca.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
That's not code, that's Spanish means what do you think of?
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Mark?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
There's lots of libraries. I'll never be able to tell.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
So I ran sprinting from a bookstore to get away
from this woman. I told you everything that I told
you on the phone right now.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
What is it that makes you think that I would
say yes to another date?
Speaker 6 (15:26):
People will do anything for free stuff?
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Yeah, you don't have to pay for me. I'm financially
taken care of already.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Oh I'm an independent woman. I mean dirty money, but
yeah independent.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Well I'm sure that they launder it.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
You guys are making light of this, but I'm going
to call you later. Mark. We're going to hang out
all the car pick you up.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Oh, same car that's following him around the neighborhood, so
you'll know which one it is. Mark just hop in.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Oh my god, it's freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Her delivery was interesting there.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
She was joking, right.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
It's hard to say because listening back to it again,
I think she was probably unhappy with Mark for saying
that information on the air because she said criminal passed.
He said cartel, So there is a difference.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
But why would you go on a radio show like
It's just crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Maybe she just didn't think that the information would come
out that way, so she had to play it like, Oh,
I'm joking, guys, because someone could hear this, and now
everyone who works on your show is in jeopardy.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So I'm kidding. Take the hand. I have a solution.
If you are in the Cartel text us right now,
is anybody you're in trouble? Yeah, we like to know.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Yeah, I mean they're pretty straight.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
For we're not good at taking hits. Yeah, we still
don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
We are not sure, but all we know is Megan
did not get another date. Although Brook there is a
dark van outside the station with a bunch of guys
who say.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
They're big fans and they want to talk to you privately.
So I don't know what that's about.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Do I need a safety word or I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
You're They want you to sign some shirts of that
right anyway, if you want some help, you can always
email the show. We can call that person who's not
calling you back and go check out all of our
second dates wherever you get your podcasts, they're available at
Brook and
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Jeffrey, Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning,
Second date update.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We've had unlucky second dators return back to the show
looking for another shot at love. What we don't have
that often is second date ease, the people we call
during the segment who don't know who we are, coming
back and asking for our.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Help because they usually don't have a good experience.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Usually people away, But this one in particular was one
of the most popular that we had on all of
last year. I'll just play the clip and I think
most of you will remember. Here's Meghan.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Oh he doesn't remember. Yeah, Okay, I'm not calling him
back because he ate my goldfish, actual fish, you my
actual swimming fish Cleo gone.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, Megan's fish got eight on her dates.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
So she said no to that guy.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Not sure why, but she did email us back saying
that she is now a listener to our show regularly
and she'd like to request our services. So Megan, welcome
back to Brook and Jeffery.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Hi, guys, Please.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Tell me no pets went missing in this latest state.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I haven't even adopted another pet, so.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Ye still living with it?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well, apparently there is a new man that you met recently. Okay,
tell us about your date and who it was. With
where you went, what you ate, why you liked him,
how it ended, and five things that may or may
not have gone wrong.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Cause you're so good a conversation.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, just get all the questions out of the way,
all right.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I went on this date with Mark, very lucky may Okay,
met Mark. Where we met at an art gallery. Actually awesome.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
Was it like one of those openings where it's like
a party almost?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, yes, exactly.
Speaker 7 (01:52):
It was cool.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
So I was just checking out this piece of art
and this cute guy just kind of started talking to
me about it, and we just kept chatting and walking
and we were both very spontaneous. But we just went
out for a very late lunch.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Okay, this is an evening thing.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
This is a daytime.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
It's like, oh, I know this spot with all these
food trucks, let's go there.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
So we did, from the art gallery to the food truck.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
I know.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It's really cute.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
I mean, what's nice about it too, is that you
don't have any opportunities for somebody to bail right now.
I think it happens in dating, like even just hanging
out with a friend, like you have so many different
points of contact before the actual hangout where people can
just flake on you.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
You think that, yeah, you'd think that. How So we
get our top, like, we get tacos, and we're like
comparing toppings, were like trying each other's stuff. Like it's
really fun and cute. And I like him. I especially
like him because he's asking me very thoughtful questions.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
What's a thoughtful question?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
He asked me, what is the weirdest compliment I've ever received?
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
And was it that your goldfish taste delicious outside?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I was like, I can't think of anything these Well,
I have one, he said, someone told him that he
has eyes that would make a cat jealous.
Speaker 7 (03:25):
I did.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I kinda laughed because I didn't really know what to.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
Make of it.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I don't understand what that even means.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
I think it was just a setup so that he
could tell you how he had great eyes.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I think he did have nice eyes.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Is there another great question.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
That he had? So we laughed that one off, and
then he goes, all right, well, what is something that
you wouldn't normally tell people on a first date.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
That's a loaded question.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
So I tell him that I've had some family members
might have been in some reenactments of like true their
story might have been in some reenactments of true crime.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Let's say that, Oh, your family has a criminal pass.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
You said it, not me, So.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm just decoding what you said.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
It doesn't sound like your family was a victim, that's
for sure.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah, you know, he was trying to prize some details
at of me. I don't give it to him, and
I go, what about you? And he says, oh, well,
I recently got out of a speeding ticket by looking
like a Jonas brother, which I guess was kind of
his like bad boy trying to relate to crime. I
was like, oh, okay, I don't.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Think anyone ever thought Jonas brothers were bad boys. So
you just like it because it's different conversation than normally
happens on a first date.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, I thought it was at least interesting.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Sounds interesting.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, Now, earlier you mentioned there was no chance for
him to ditch to escape, and he kind of laughed
at that.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
So the final part of our date, we decided to
go into a nearby bookstore and we're just kind of
rusing the aisle and then all of a sudden, it's
like one of those things, you know, like the door
has like a bell attached to it. I hear the
bell ding and I just instinctively look up and there's
Mark and he's just sprinting.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Store.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yes, and he didn't say anything to me.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Did somebody shout, oh my god, it's one of the
Jonas brothers.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
I instantly go to the taco truck.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Oh there was.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
A digestive issue.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
You needed to find a bathroom.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I don't think of that. But he he has my
number and he didn't even like text me to apologize or.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Wait you never saw him again?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
No, no, I'm calling you.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
How rude like you are someone you spend that many
hours and then you you run away.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
But it's like you said, I if there's an emergency
happening in your clothes at the moment, you don't stick
around and explain yourself.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Best case scenario, I know, text you, text you, call you,
say I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
His phone was in his pants. It's all messed up.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I don't know what the answer is, but hopefully he
picks up when we call him and.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
He has some for us.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
When we reach out to Mark, for you and ask
what made you sprint out of the bookstore without saying
goodbye after your awesome insta date.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, we're gonna find out when we do your second
date update right after this. Hold on second date update if.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You're just joining us, We may have uncovered secret audio
of Mark at the very end of his first date
with Meghan.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Wait play again.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
It was too fast.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Uncovered because he literally he's sprinted out of the bookstore
where they were without saying goodbye, leaving Megan wondering what
is going on and who is going to pay for
this fifty Shades of Gray Make your Own Adventure.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Book really smart?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, it always ends weird, but Brooke had a theory
that it was a post taco truck emergency that had
him sprinting out of there. But remember Meghan said that
she liked him because Mark asked unique questions during the
date and that was a big turn.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
On, right Megan.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah, especially for an impromptu date.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, time to prep it.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
I mean, the whole thing felt pretty natural from your
description of it. I can't even think of why why
anyone would run away.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yeah, this was like a really big deal to me
because this is the first connection I've had since I
moved here about a month ago.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Have we considered the fact that he may not be
able to read.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I'm we're laughing and I'm gonna feel really bad.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
We can't hear this, guys, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So, I mean, look, we're all pulling for you because
we don't want you to have no connections in this
new city that you just moved to.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Before moving to a new city can be hard.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, we'll try and help connect you with the guy,
even if you can't read. At least it's somebody that
you can hang out with at night and watch a
TV show.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You can't be picky when you're new in a city.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Take what you get. May make picture books for a reason.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Ye, okay, and we'll upgrade slowly over time if need be.
But first let's call Mark.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
We'll see if he picks up. Hopefully get some answers. Okay,
here we go. Hello, Hey, is this Mark?
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Yes? Who's this? Hey? Mark?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So we didn't catch you in the bathroom or something.
It sounds kind of echoey on your end. Well, I
hope we didn't catch a bad time.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Who are you?
Speaker 8 (08:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, we should tell you. We're a radio show called
Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
Okay, good morning. What's this about.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
You're on your bathroom ratings and reviews?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
This is that's what we do.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
We're like kind of fun, jokey comedy type show. But
one of the big things we do is a dating
segment called second Date Update. I don't know if you're
familiar with it, but one of our listeners reached out
to us because you guys went out the other night.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
She had a really good time. Her name's Meghan. Oh, oh,
oh god.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Okay, yeah, yeah, Well, we have a lot of questions
for you, Mark, the number one question being why did
you sprint out of the bookstore at the end of
the date without saying anything.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Is there a reason behind that?
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Yeah? I definitely had a good reason.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Well, good because we heard about your date. Megan told
us a lot about it, but she has no idea
why you would go running.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Out of that bookstore. Should she know the reason?
Speaker 7 (09:43):
Well, I don't. I don't know. Meghan should know the reason,
I would think, but she really does.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Did you text her or something because she didn't get
your text like there was no explanation from you.
Speaker 9 (09:55):
Nope, nope, I did not text her at all.
Speaker 7 (09:59):
I went to an exhibit and yes, we hit it off.
It was nice.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
And then next thing I know, we're getting a late
lunch and she's telling me that her family is in
the cartel.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
What the family?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Remember?
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Oh okay, wait wait wait wait.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Wait wait, hold on. This comes from a question that
you asked her. You asked her one thing that she
would never share on a first date.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Yeah, And I'm glad I did because then she shared
that with me, and I knew to steer clear.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Well hold on a turn off when we heard about it.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
She said that her family had kind of like a
sordid past with maybe some criminal activity.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
I just thought there were some felons, you know, like
yeast a felon.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I mean, mind of.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Satistics show felons are better than the cartel. That is
that our stance.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
It's not necessarily a lifelong decision.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
It's like one bad.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Choice to be a felon.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
The cartel is like you're making yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Market, how did you get to the cartel? From what
she told you?
Speaker 7 (11:07):
She just said it.
Speaker 9 (11:09):
She was like, okay, well, let's just say that, like
what you guys were saying about your families, like there's
some sordid characters or whatever.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
And I pressed, and then she was.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Like, well, yeah, my family is in the cartel. That's
why I had to move cities.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Wait, that's why she had to move cities.
Speaker 9 (11:27):
Yep, that's why I had moved here. They're keeping cabs
on me, but I think we're safe.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Okay, So wait, you learn all this information about her?
How do you go from being in the bookstore with
her to sprinting out, yeah, why did you run before?
Speaker 9 (11:41):
When she said they were keeping cabs on me? I
was sort of like thinking, okay, is there anybody watching
us right now? So I didn't want to just run away,
so I was like, hey, let's go into this bookstore
and then.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Your escape route because they wouldn't see you outside the bookstore.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Running bookstore was It's not like the cartel is tapping
the line right now listening to what you're saying, at least,
we don't think.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
So.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I don't know how they operate, but I do know
Megan is on the other line listening to the.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Callel's a big fan of the second.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Wouldn't be.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
Meg's on the phone right now.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, that's how the sentiment works' she go ahead.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I just want to say, I think you're overreacting a
little bit. I think this is kind of a bit
much given what I mentioned.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Wait, wait, family, what are you talking about? Megan?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
You're joking right.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Well, I can't tell a lot. I can't really share
that in frankly, Mark couldn't have pulled that on the line.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Well he didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
He's just telling us his side of the story.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
Yeah, and I'm glad I did well.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
And that's why I thought that was a conversation just
between you and me. That's why I didn't say the
word cartel. That's why I just said, oh, my family
has a criminal background.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Oh so Mark, Mark?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Cry Okay, Mark, do you want to apologize for outing
her family as part of the cartel?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I would suggest what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Which, if you think about it, this really is your
fault because you are the one who asked me the
question what would I not tell anyone on a first date?
So really it's kind of your fault.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Got a hit on yourself.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Now that you've heard everything, Like, just know we do
want to go on another date? Like yeah, we can't
really like text the name of locations, but we can
like to do a code.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Are you serious.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Joking?
Speaker 6 (13:30):
I can't tell.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I'm a little bit scared. Like Mark, I'm angry.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I want to hang out with her.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Now, Mark, what's your read on how Megan is doing this?
Speaker 7 (13:40):
No, I'm completely against this. I want to protect.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Myself against the cartel. That's not a.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Good idea already out of them. He was the one
who said it. I didn't, Oh, man, I.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Mean would I would be a little bit flattered.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
I mean, actually, I'm not going to tell you anything, but.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Get really good present. It's from anybody if you're dating,
like you know what I mean? Oh, yeah, they have money.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I mean, we're trying to keep this light, but I mean,
there's no way that's real.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
I don't believe the reason I'm keeping his light because
I think she's joking the whole time, like nobody's getting
her like dry sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Okay, but she did just move. She told him that
he had had well, yeah, there is some evidence against her.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Can he ever meet your family?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Will he even be able to find them?
Speaker 7 (14:28):
I doubt it. This is real, guys, this is real.
She was serious what she told to be on the date.
She's serious what she's telling you to you. Now.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
Well, I've been going to work and I've been seeing
the same car go round and around in the in
the root between my home and my office.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Are you sure you're not being paranoid?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah? Everybody owns a Tesla, now, dude, seems.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Riskier than saying yes.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
The whole point of this call, Mark is to offer
to send you out on another date with Megan, and
we can't. We won't say where you're going, just because
we want to keep you safe. So we'll use a
code word like I'll love be bioteca.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
That's not code, that's Spanish means what do you think of?
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Mark?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
There's lots of libraries. I'll never be able to tell.
Speaker 9 (15:15):
So I ran sprinting from a bookstore to get away
from this woman. I told you everything that I told
you on the phone right now.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
What is it that makes you think that I would
say yes to another date?
Speaker 6 (15:26):
People will do anything for free stuff?
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Yeah, you don't have to pay for me. I'm financially
taken care of already.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Oh I'm an independent woman. I mean dirty money, but
yeah independent.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Well I'm sure that they launder it.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
You guys are making light of this, but I'm going
to call you later. Mark. We're going to hang out
all the car pick you up.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Oh, same car that's following him around the neighborhood, so
you'll know which one it is. Mark just hop in.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Oh my god, it's freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Her delivery was interesting there.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
She was joking, right.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
It's hard to say because listening back to it again,
I think she was probably unhappy with Mark for saying
that information on the air because she said criminal passed.
He said cartel, So there is a difference.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
But why would you go on a radio show like
It's just crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Maybe she just didn't think that the information would come
out that way, so she had to play it like, Oh,
I'm joking, guys, because someone could hear this, and now
everyone who works on your show is in jeopardy.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So I'm kidding. Take the hand. I have a solution.
If you are in the Cartel text us right now,
is anybody you're in trouble? Yeah, we like to know.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Yeah, I mean they're pretty straight.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
For we're not good at taking hits. Yeah, we still
don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
We are not sure, but all we know is Megan
did not get another date. Although Brook there is a
dark van outside the station with a bunch of guys
who say.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
They're big fans and they want to talk to you privately.
So I don't know what that's about.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Do I need a safety word or I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
You're They want you to sign some shirts of that
right anyway, if you want some help, you can always
email the show. We can call that person who's not
calling you back and go check out all of our
