You know when we do these second date updates, we always have dudes on the phone that are like, I got the perfect technique for how to meet ladies. Yeah, And the guy on the phone today his name is Sean, and all his email said was that he uses a
technique called the Ben Franklin effect. Don't really know what that is, but I'm guessing that's you go to a retirement home and convince all the ladies there that you're the one who invented by vocals, and then they're super excited to meet you because now they can read things. I'm yeah, wow, you invented that. Hey, what's up, Sean? How are you? Hey? Guys? How's it going pretty good? I'm interested to find out what the Ben Franklin effect is unless I got it right? Did I get it right? No? No,
it's not quite like that. It's actually a kite in a lightning story? Is that what it? No? No, no good quotes. You convince a woman that you are Ben Franklin's ghost and that they must sleep with you in order for you to finally be put to rest. Say, I would buy I would take that. This is a real technique. I've been I learned it from this blog, but it's really legit. Thing. Wait, this is the first time you tried the Ben Franklin technique. Yeah, I mean
other people have tried it before. I didn't invent it, but yeah, okay, Well we'll get to what that is exactly in a second. First, let's find out about the girl you want to call today. What's her name? Her name is Erica? Erica, and how did you meet Erica? We're actually in the same class together. I go to
the night school, to the community college. She sits next to me a lot of time, and she's just beautiful and really smart, and oh my god, you get so excited when she actually sits next to you in classics. I don't know. Yeah, of course I do. Of course I do. And that's why I thought I could try out the Ben Franklin effect on her, because I read
about it and I maybe this would work. Okay, So basically, you ask a girl to do something for you, and she does it, and subconsciously, she then likes you more, and she's more open to you, she's receptive you. And Ben Franklin apparently used this with his rival inventors or something to get them to like him more. So he'd be like, hey, can you pick up that paper I dropped? And then they would do it, and all of a sudden,
subconsciously they like him more because they did something for him. Yeah, exactly, that's it. So what did you ask her to do for you? I sort of planned this out after, But the first thing I did was I dropped a pencil in class and I said, hey, Erica, would you mind picking that up? And she did, she picked up the pencil. Okay, I'll go and according to plan, And then you went and you're like, now you want to sleep with it? I mean, it wasn't that effective. Okay, pencil isn't a
good analogy there? Well, I had to stick with it, right. So then the next week I said something like, hey, Erica, would you mind if I borrow some paper? She's like sure, and she ripped out a paper from her notebook and she gave it to me. Okay, okay. The next week I said, hey, okay, if you happen to be at the drug store this week? Would you mind picking up some posting notes for me? Now you're grab you some post it notes from the store. Did you give her
your grocery list the following week? No? No, no, I mean I actually needed some post it notes. But she looked at me really funny. But I said no, no no, no, I'll pay you back. And my schedules has been crazy, but I'll pay you back. And she did it. She got me the post it notes that she brought them the next week. But don't you think I don't know that she likes you more? Doesn't it say that she liked you to begin with if she's willing to go think of you and pick up post it notes? Well maybe,
but I'm trying out the technique. Okay, okay, rightique, So it appears to be working at this point. I mean she's doing the things that you're asking. Well. Yeah, after the posting notes, I realized like, okay, I can start of just sit down and talk to her now, so hey, you know, we should hang out some time. And then she was like, yeah, but my schedule is pretty busy picking up things from the store for you. We'll have time to go out with you. Well, she said, yeah,
so you know, I thought it was working. Okay, would you guys do? So I had this idea. I thought it was a pretty creative idea because I don't have a lot of money. I'm taking these classes, so I figured we would go to seven to eleven and do sort of like a cheap wine tasting. Dude, that's awesome. I give you lots of points for that, thank you,
thank you. I thought it was kind of clever. So we bought all these like five dollars wines and then we took them to the park sort of nearby, and we tried out these wines and we were laughing and we were talking about True Crime podcast to both listen to them, and we're sort of really connecting. And then you're like this Carlo Rossi and Boone's farm. I mean, the notes are really amazing, very okay, would you look a bad dog? Yeah? Yeah, you know, we're not wine experts,
but that was sort of the fun. Yeah, totally. And then she said she had to get going, and so I walked into the bus and give her a hug, and you know, that was it. But thought, okay, then pretty well, okay, all right, and if you guys talked much after that. We're texting for a while and she sort of stopped responding me, but she said like, hey, you know, I'm going through a difficult time, which I wasn't really sure with that men. And then it started happening that I was in class and she would stop
sitting near me. You know, maybe she thinks, who was this guy taking me up to seven eleven? This guy clearly isn't going places, you know. I don't think that's what she meant by a difficult time. I mean, yeah, it sounds like she's going through some stuff and just maybe doesn't need a relationship right now. I mean maybe, but it sounded kind of like an excuse because like if we actually did connect, then I don't know why
she would shape farther away from me. Yeah, it doesn't really explain why she would not want to even be around you, if that's what it looks like. Yeah, and I can take her on a real day, but I need your help to sort of figure this out. I'm really hoping to get a second day because I really liked her. Okay, cool, Well we'll play a song and then come back and get your second date update. Okay, all right, cool, all right, man, hang on brooking jubil
in the morning. Second date update. You know, when we do these second date updates, we always have dudes on the phone that are like, I got the perfect technique for how to meet ladies.

Ben Franklin effect. Don't really know what that is, but I'm guessing that you go to a retirement home and convince all the ladies there that you're the one who invented bifofos, and then they're super excited to meet you because now they can read things. Yeah, wow, you invented that. Hey, what's up, Sean? How are you? Hey? Guys? How's it going pretty good? I'm interested to find out what the Ben Franklin effect is unless I got it right? Did I get it right? No? No, it's not going like that.
It's actually a kite in a lightning story. Is that it is?

Okay, all right, cool, all right, man, hang on looking jubil in the morning. Second date update. If you're just joining us for today's second date update. Sean is on the phone and he wants to call a girl named Erica. They actually are in class together, and they went out on a date
to seven to eleven. They just bought a bunch of stuff, went to a park, and drank some really crappy alcohol. But he says it was a great time, and then she left gave him a hug. But since then, apparently she said she's been going through something and she won't even sit next to him in class, so he's confused
why she doesn't want to hang out with him again. Hey, Sean, since you guys are like in class together, have you tried maybe you know, pulling out with the chair for her and then pulling it all the way out when she sit down she falls down, or maybe like going out getting on the teeter totter and you know, getting on one side and then just getting off so that she slams out on the ground. You know, it seems like a good effective way to do that in that situation,
you know, show where you like her. Yeah, you know, maybe throw some paper at the back of her head when you're in class, you know, something like that cut her ponytail. Off like that, hiding a little too old for that. Give it a shot, man. All right, I'm gonna be about to dial her phone number right now. Are you ready? Yeah, I'm ready? All right, Well, here we go. Hello. Hi is this Erica? Yeah? Hey Erica? How are you? This is Jewel from Brook and Jewel
in the Morning. It's a radio show. Oh okay, how are you? I'm fine? How are you? I'm not too bad? Thank you for asking. You're wondering why a radio station is calling you right now? Yeah, I figured you might be. I'm calling you today because we got an email from one of our listeners about you. Oh his name is Sean. Oh okay. Have you ever heard of a second date up day before? I mean I've heard of it, but I don't know about it. So you guys are the ones you do that? Yeah, we do do that on
the show. What it is is where you go out on a date with somebody and then end up not wanting to see them again after they can email us and we'll get you on the phone and ask why. So Sean emailed us because he's confused. He says that you guys had a great time together, but now you're not really talking to him, and you also don't even sit in the same area as him anymore in your class. Yeah. Okay, And Sean is wondering if he did something wrong on
his date. No, he didn't do anything wrong on the date. The date was really fun. We're both students right now, obviously funds are short. So he had this idea. He's like, we're going to do a wine tasting. Yeah, he told us all about your date, and it sounded like kind of like a fun thing to do, even if you weren't broke. It just kind of sounded fun and quirky, but wine, and I even want to do it like that actually sounds like a great idea. But I will
be doing this Saturday night. Did he do something. No, No, he didn't do anything. I'm going through a really difficult time with something in my life right now, and I just I have some drama going on and I needed time to not date or like have someone texting me every single day. I told him, he told us that you texted him and you're going through a difficult time.
I'm like, dude, give the woman some space. Yeah, and like he's very sweet, but he just kept persisting and kept on bugging, and it's like, I just I have some drama going on with my girlfriend and he like wouldn't back off, and so that kind of turns me off. It's like, can you just listen and respect my wishes? So probably us calling you for him is even sexier. Yeah, I mean it sounds like you have something serious going on.
I don't remember really, Like keep prying about that because I don't want you to treat us just like you did him and stop talking to us. But would you mind at least like maybe telling him that this is the reason you're not talking to him is because you're dealing with something right now. But she already told him that. Yeah, I guess you know, when I see him in class, I could just tell him then, you know, yeah, or you could do it now because he's actually on the
other line listening and wants to talk to you. What do you think about that? Wait? What? Yeah? Yeah, Sean is on the other line listening. Are you serious? Not, Erica? Hi, you just don't give her up? Yeah? Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't mean to be weird or anything, but I just I want to know what's going on in your life. I mean, you know, I care for you, Eric, and I'm actually I'm worried about you. Well, thanks, I appreciate that, but you know, I'm just dealing with enough from my
friend and my mother. Yeah, I get that. It's just that I haven't heard from you in a while, and I really do care for you, Erica, and I want to be here for you, you you know what I mean. I want to know what's going on with Erica? Are you Are you annoyed by this or do you think it's sweet? Where do you stand right now? I understand that his intentions are pure, but I'm going through the worst thing ever right now. So well, it's like, don't
you want to respect her boundaries like she's obviously set them? Yeah, of course, the last thing I wanted for you to feel uncomfortable, Erica. I just I'm a really good listener. So if you ever do want to talk about it, I'm here. I just want to let you know that. I mean, he's a really good listener who doesn't understand that you already told him that you had something going on in text message that you weren't both for a relationship.
Can you sell America like a death in the family, because I can totally I understand what that like, No, no, it's not that good. Okay, I'm glad that no one died or anything. Um, is it like your parents got divorced, Sean. I think the point is she doesn't want you to like pressor into talking about it, just going down the list of possible scenarios. Look, okay, fine, it's just my best friend, who I've known since I was two years old,
is getting married. Okay, And I'm also very close with my mother, and my best friend has been close to my family for years, like family vacations together and everything. And she didn't invite my mom to her wedding. She invited our other friend's mom, who she's only known for like five years, to the wedding. What, oh, that's what you're going through. But your mom didn't get an invite to your best friend's wedding. I mean, I'm not trying to tell play your problems, but that's the big thing
that you're dealing with. Yeah, do you know, like how insulting that is my mother, Like she's been a part of the family for years, and then she didn't invite my mom to the wedding, but she invited our other friend's mom. So they're so now you know, now you know you've been personally about and hope you feel good about yourself. Wait wait, wait, wait wait, you told me that you were going through a difficult time in your life, like like really difficult. Yeah, this is difficult. It's a
very difficult time. But you want to get this straight. Your mom wasn't invited to a wedding. Like how we're all repeating it? I know, Hey, you gotta be fair, though, I mean, everybody deals with things differently, and this is hard on Erica. Okay, No, I totally get that, and I'm I understand and I just want to be here for you. But that's kind of silly, right, I mean, that's kind of what excuse me? It is not silly. Imagine that you were going to go to like your
best friend's wedding and then your dad wasn't invited. You know, like you probably be upset about it. Well yeah, yeah, maybe for like in two minutes. But I mean, I'm you know, I was expecting something a lot more devastating than that. Well I'm sorry that my version of devastation that's gonna be nor standards, Okay, but I'm actually going through something really difficult right now. And this is exactly
why I didn't tell you. It's because I knew that you wouldn't understand, and now here you are like giving me about it on the radio. Okay, who does that anyways? Okay, I get it. I get it. I'm sorry I can't get it. I get it. I get it. Oh my god. You Okay, But you know what lucky for you, Erica, that this is the worst thing you're dealing with. You live a very charmed life. What's that supposed to mean? I just I think it's supposed to mean that. You know,
that's like a big thing. Why is everyone treating you like this isn't a big issue, Like this isn't a big deal or something it is? I agree with Erica, this is the worst thing happening in the world right now. I can't believe it. Yeah, oh my god, you're all sitting there laughing, and you're not even thinking about my poor mother who's sitting at home all by herself, crying every night wondering what she did. I feel you. I feel you. There's like a Saturday out there where your
mom doesn't have plans and other people do. I feel you feel bad. I am feel bad? Oh my god, Erica's just perspective, That's all we're saying. Get some perspective here, here's some perspective. You guys are all awful. Okay, fine, No, did she hang up? I think yeah, she's gone. I think she's gone. Hey, Sean, I didn't even get to ask, but I'll just do it now since she's not here. Would you like to go out with Sean on a second date? Erica, We'll pay for it. She's not answering.
I think that's a no, Sean. Oh Sean, Wow, how you feeling right now about that? I'm having a difficult time deciding this now. It's kind of weird, it is. I agree, it is weird that her friend wouldn't invite her mom to her wedding. I know that horrible Sean grew up together. Yeah, I feel like maybe she's a little too dramatic for me. I'm not gonna lie. What did you hear what she said? Sean?
