2nd Date Update PODCAST: This Chick Ain't No Muse

I'll think about that. What's the guy's name that you want to call today? The name's Alan Alan and your email said that you guys met in acting class. How'd that go down? Well, we met in class, and he really should asked me to the sounds like a great but I hair like a full heads. Oh nice? Okay, that's awesome. Is this an ongoing class or was this just a one time class that you took. It's an

eight week class, so yeah, it's an ongoing class. Okay, okay, So how far into your eight weeks before either you or he asked each other out? We were to the second week. Okay, So the second weekend and how did you guys officially decide to go out? Well, we were hanging out after class and he asked me if I wanted to hang out and like go over things. Oh, I was hoping it would be more romantic than that. He wanted more of a script. Yes, I did. It's

not very hollow at all. And did it seem like a date or did it seem like he wanted to go over and practice acting stuff with you? It definitely seemed like a date. We're being very flirtatious when he asked me, and it was just us. Oh cool, okay, So like everybody had gone home and it was just you two. Yeah, we were just hanging out outside, all right. And what did you guys do when you went out? Well, he tasted me after a couple of days and asked me if I wanted to come over and make Molly's.

Oh that's a cute date. Yeah good, yeah, because I guess it hard to make. And he said that he could teach me, so I was like, yeah, that sounds great. I love Tamis. You haven't you left over? You know, I don't really care if we do your second at update anymore. I just want some food. Do you enjoy making to Molly's with him? Yeah, it was a lot of fun. He's really funny and so like he made me laugh and he was really patient. My mollies were like they were so bad and his are really good.

But he was being really helpful with So Okay, it's not romantic to me. I don't know. Yeah, it was really romantic. It was nice. Okay if you so, if you spend some time with this dude making romantic to mollies, why do you think he's not calling you back? But that's true. I you know, the whole night was really great, and I guess I'm like, you know, you go through

things of like what went wrong? And um there was one point where he pointed out something I knew that I didn't realize I just which is apparently I compartmentalized my food Like when I eat it, what do I mean, like you make sure it doesn't touch Yeah, like nothing touches and I eat like something one at a time. You're one of those people. Yeah, I didn't realize that I did that. Oh you didn't even know that you did that? No, No, but I do. I now noticed it,

like every day you said, he commented, on it. How did he do that? He just got it was kind of like, oh you And I was like, what what's going on? And he was like, well, you compartmentalize your food. That would be the weirdest thing to turn somebody off. Ever, you're not letting your tamali touch your beans that are on the plate, and that I can't deal. I thought that too. I thought that would be a little strange. I have a hard time believing that would cause somebody

to not call you back. How did you guys end everything? He gave me a kiss on the cheek and we were like, I'll see you in clasp because I had believe because I really didn't like overstay my welcome right at his place for the first date. Oh no, you should have slept over. I just brought your overnight back with you. I'm sleeping on the couch tonight, right. Have you seen him in class? Yeah? He was in the next class after, you know, we said hi to each other,

have been after. I was trying to talk to him. It's being kind of cold, little standoffish, um so I don't know. And I asked him if he wanted to hang out, and he said he was busy oh, the old busy excuse. Yeah, was he being rude to you? No, I wouldn't say rude. It just wasn't, you know, as wealth mean as he had been before, Right, because if he liked you and he wanted to continue to see you, he'd do things like sit next to you in class

or make eyett. Yeah. Now it's like really awkward when I see him and we only have a couple of classes left, and I just like it. You know, it's just kind of strange, weird, and I'm just wondering if I did something wrong. So I thought i'd call you guys to help me figure it out. Okay, I think it's a food thing, separated your food, like a weirdo, and it ruined your chances with this guy like an eight year old yea, play a song, come back, call him and get your second day up date. Okay, okay,

all right, hold on rooking Jubil in the morning dates. Hey, Erica, Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't think we're gonna be able to do your second eight update today that well, because I don't know what my motivation is. I have no direction. There's a blemish on my notes and the lighting of this room is saying off. The lighting is terrible and I knew you would be that type of actor idea. I can't do it. I just can't. I'm gonna go

outside for a smoke. I'll be back in fifteen minutes and then we'll try it again, all right, heared it out. Erica wants to call a guy named Alan that she met in her acting class. They went out together, they made to Molly's. They had a fun time, fun conversation. She said he was funny, also added that he had a full head of hair, which she liked a lot. And ever since they went out, he's not calling her back.

And also they've seen each other in acting class and he's been very cold to her, just saying that he's busy and he can't go out again. So she to see if she did something wrong. Are you ready to call him? Yeah, let's do it. Are you worried that this is going to make things more strange? Whatever the class will end? Yeah, at this point, it's already weird. It can't get weirder. It'll be a good story. I'm gonna call him right now. Here we go. Hello, Hi,

is Alan there speaking? Hey? Alan? How are you? My name is Jebil and I host a morning radio show called Brook and Jewel in the Morning. I'm sorry, Jebil, Yes, Jebil from Brook and Jewel in the Morning. Okay, have you ever heard the show before it all? No, I'm not familiar. Oh, okay on the radio, yes, I mostly listen to in PR. Sorry, m PR, I'm not familiar with that rapper. Well, we are already show and we do a segment called the second Date Update. So you

recently went on a date with one of our listeners. Okay, who was it? Her name is Erica. She emailed you, yeah, yeah, Ericaay, Well, she emailed us and said that you guys met in acting class and you got together one night to make Tamali's and ever since then, you've kind of been cold to her in the acting class and you haven't responded to like her phone calls or text messages or anything. Okay,

I don't understand why she emailed you. Well, I guess she says that she's tried to talk to you a little bit, but you've been cold, and when she asked you if you want to go out again, you're just like, I'm busy, and then didn't want to talk to her, so she figured we might be able to find something out. I don't know what you wanted to say. It's just it's not working. Is there a specific reason? Well, yes and no. But I don't really see why I'm going to talk to you about it. Well, because you're not

telling her like you have to understand. From her perspective, it's awkward for her to be in a class every day with a guy who obviously doesn't want to go out with you, and you have no idea why. So the best thing for her to do is to email a radio station. I think so, one way or the other, we do a lot of these second date updates. It works for a lot of people. Well, I think it says something about her sanity, is that it? Do you feel like she's not saying no, I'm not saying she's

not sane. I'm just choosing to go our separate ways as much as we can, even though we still have to be in that class together, because I think it's going to be better for both of us. So you're deciding for her what's better for her. Well, I'm deciding what's better for me, and I happen to believe it's got to be better for her? And what is that? I don't know why I'm telling you guys this. She's

there's something about her vibe. I don't want to talk about ores and stuff, but there's definitely something about hers that clashes with mine. Classes, with your vibe. Only people in an acting class would say, what do you mean by that? Look? She come over from a house we

made to Molly's. There was like some awkwardness there. I didn't think anything of it, But then the next week in class we had to do these monologues right and when I went up to do mine, I just I felt off, Like I just I couldn't get in the right headspace. I could just feel that my energy was being sucked. And I feel like a lot of it has to do with her. What did you feel like your energy was off when you were doing your monologue because of her? How's it's hard to explain to the

late person meaning not not an actor. I mean, I don't know what you guys do is like radio personalities. Radio is bottom of the barrel, not much of an art where as lay person. As you get like, have you ever taken an acting class? No? I have, I mean in high school, but like that counts. I'm not talking about like lay on the floor and being ice cream calling stuff. I mean like really getting into like what's in either of you. No, I've never really gotten

in touch with what inside of me? Thank god? Yeah. Was it something that she did? Wasn't anything she did. It was just her energy. You know, when it comes to do my monologue, it sucked and I'm good, all right, this girl something about her. I know it's her, I know it was her. It just it put me in the wrong space. So you're you're blaming her for you not doing a good job on your monologue. Look, if you don't understand it, it's just because you're not in touch.

You know, you said you haven't been inside yourself. Well maybe you should take a big swimming like you because in order to get creative energy, you need to be free to do that. Don't think. Do you think it's a little unfair to say someone's being ruined your abilities? I mean it could have been like what if you did you have a stressful week or you had a

fight with your mom. I don't know. If I had a stressful week, I have the tools that I can channel that stress into a brilliant performance, but she took those tools away from me. She had to tell you that she did, but she did the tool thief. And that's the reason that you're not calling her back. You feel like you can't be creative with her in your life. Yeah, Like I need a muse and she is not amused. She's a succubus, and she pulls the energy out of me.

Every creative juice that I have was sucked out of me by She didn't feel the same way at all, I don't think. Well, look, her monologue was not great either, and either she's just a bad actress or I'm affecting her too. Okay, so you think that just the two of you together, you can't be successful actors because your energy doesn't fit right, Like, I can't practice my craft to the best of my ability if I have a succubus on me. Some people like succubuses, some people don't.

I mean, I can't change how you feel. It kind of doesn't make sense to me because I'm you know, I'm not you. But I do know that she's on the other line listening right now and would love to talk to you. What are you seriously, Yeah, Erica Hi, So she heard everything? I just said, yes she did? Yeah I did. And do you not agree with cis? Yes? I was thinking like you were dating somebody else. Like now you think I'm like some voodoo witch or something.

So you think that your monologue was good? Oh, I wouldn't say it was the best ever had, but I can recognize that and not blame it on somebody else. Well, maybe you're not in touch with yourself enough to know what's expecting you. Maybe you're a little too pretentious for the class. I'm pretentious. Yeah. Do you hear yourself speaking right now? Okay, Erica, explain this to me. All right, look at it all as a whole. The week before in class, my monologue was beautiful, Like the teacher said,

it was the best work she'd seen. The next week, after having spent just a little bit of time with you, I'm mixing up Macbeth and Hamlet and it's all coming out apples and oranges. What other excuse could there be? I don't know. Maybe you didn't get enough sleep. Honestly, Allen, I don't get it because you weren't bad. I wasn't bad. You You have completely skewed ideas of what's bad bad for me is probably your best day. I don't know why you're being like this. Did we didn't have a

good time? Do we do have fun? We are hanging out. That's not the point, Erica. Clearly, from a creative perspective and from a professional perspective, we're not good for each other. Our energies clash. So even if you had fun and liked each other, it's not worth it because it's going to screw up your careers. It could have been the best date in the world. But it's not worth it to me to continue dating someone that's going to pull my creativity out of my stomach. Eric, did you love God?

I mean you're kind of being a jerk to her right now. Yeah, she didn't do anything on purpose, even if you feel like she sucked her creativity out. Look, I'm sorry if I said hurtful things, but I think it's best that we don't pursue anything because it's clearly affecting both of us. I mean, people have bad weeks, but it's an acting class. Do you get through it? You take notes and you go to the next class

and try to do better. Maybe you'd understand this. Some of us like myself, are trained and know how to focus stressful days or bad energies and still be fantastic. You, however, changed all of that for me. One date with you, and I had nothing left. Oh sweetie, I'm really sorry, but you really aren't that good. The teacher gives you the most notes for a reason. The teacher gave me notes because the teacher thinks that there's something there that

can be improved upon. You didn't get a lot of notes because you know what, well, she's never gonna get any better. I know what the answer is going to be here, But I would like to ask the question regardless, Alan, would you like to go on a second date with Erica? We will pay for it, obviously not. And Erica, I'm assuming that you don't want to see Alan again. Yeah, hell no, I'll drop out of the class. No, I'll

be there. You'll see me. Oh man. I hope that both of you can channel that awkwardness into great monologues for future classes. I'll be able to channel all of this energy, including this sour energy that you just put in me, and I'll be able to do great work. And I'm going to book a lot of gigs. Erica however, is going to be stuck doing nothing waiting tables and maybe you can give her a chop on your radio stake. Alan will guarantee you in ten years I'm going to

be the one who successful and you will not. Yeah, successful at cash and welfare checks. Good luck. That was below the belt, Brooke and Jewel in the morning,
