Second date. Sometimes you start a date off and you're already in the hole at a disadvantage, like when you meet someone on Hot Latina Match. But you get there and realize, wait a second, I don't speak any Spanish. Oh for you her four older brothers. Sure do you like? Uh? Oldah? No a blast burritos doritos. That's not Loco's not doing good. I would have my brothers punch you too. One of our listeners, Tyler, knows that he started the night off at a disadvantage. We'll get to it in just a second,

but first, Tyler, welcome to the show. Hey, how are you guys doing. You're a chipper, my friend. I mean, I feel like I've been through a out. If you can't laugh about it, then you know, I mean you just cry? Yeah, what are you doing with that energy? Well, we're ready to laugh at your terrible first date all the way to the end. But first, tell us about the girl that you met. Who is she? So I

matched with a girl named Ali out of dating app? Okay, I gotta be honest, like I've been swiping left so much just because I feel like I'm zoning in on red flags, you know, But this one. Surprisingly I saw none. Wow, Okay, that's a rare fine for sure itself. Either she's not going to stay on the market for long or it's completely Yeah that's fair. Maybe that's the wrong way to put it. I guess that depends on her model. Okay, so you took a chance in you and you swiped

on her. Yeah, we swep I swipe right, and we really bought it on the fact that we both like Asian food. Yeah, we could talk about this for time. It's an easy date setup, right that you're just gonna go get some sort of like Asian cuisine together, noodles whatever? Is that what you did? Yeah? There was a There was an awesome sushi spot, but I hadn't gone to before, but I had heard some great things about it, and I was like, Hey, do you want to meet there?

And she was like yeah, absolutely. Is that a red flag that she's so amenable to your first idea? Yeah, like it'd be nice if she had some standards. Yeah, Jeffrey's looking for someone more picky. Yeah, yeah, I supposed that sounds great though, And sushi dates are so fun? Can you share food? You talk about it? How? Well? So here's the thing, I was on my way there on the bus and I kind of got distracted. Yeah, I look up and realize we're at the spot, and I went and ran. I dove off the bus made

it just time. Kay. Right as the bus starts to leave, I realized I left my glasses on the bush, like your weight unglasses. I'm hoping please they were prescription. Oh why are you taking your flashes off on the bus. I'm not completely blind. I got a stigmatism, but okay, I mean things are fuzzy. So she shows up and looks great. I mean you can't see clearly her features. But do you decide to go through with it? Or do you call it off? At that point? What am

I gonna do? Hunt down the bus? Like you're already there? Yeah, I'm like whenever, I'm gonna go in and enjoy myself. I walk in, I find her. Oh you're able to see her. Okay, well, I can see that there's a person. She's like feeling her face. You feel beautiful. I just I led with the name, and when she was like, I was like, okay, I find the right one. Did you explain what had happened? I did. I was honest with her, I didn't want to just sit there squinting

at her. Yeah, it looks like you're angry when you do that. But here's where things get a little rough. What I can't read the menu. Yeah, there's so many options at sushi. Yeah, there's a lot of ingredients listed on some of those roles. Oh no, I didn't want to just go with like a you know, a rainbow roll or a spider roll or something California. But it looked great when I was like, hey, can you read

that one again? To me? Like, I mean, she felt like she was looking into her future of being married at eighty years old. You think it's either I was a scariatric or a toddler, one of them. So what happens is does dinner go okay? Well, yes, and no, we're not quite that far yet, because the waiter came back to tell me that they were out of like some of the ingredients for one of the roles or

by this point. Yeah, but I mean eventually you get your food, right, yeah, yeah, But she had to sit there and read the menu to me while the waiters standing right there. That's so annoying. So four hours after you arrive, they finally bring out your sushi rolls. We had a fun time until I had to go home and I realized I can't see the number on the bus. She's got to guide you to the bus or it's a good option to be like, hey, I can't really see Maybe do you want to uber ride together? We

put the address in my phone. Yeah, I can't what do you do? So what we did was we stood there. I just had a nice little conversation while we waited for the bus. And I was like, oh, is this thirty five. It's like no, that's ninety three. And I'm like, okay, all right, Oh god, yeah, that's probably not the best look on you. I mean, a bus departure is never a real sexy departure. I advocate for public transportation points. Yeah, yeah, it's nice, but the hottest look always well does she

kiss you or anything? We didn't ask that. Sorry, we had a We had a little hugally and he knows if the person that he hugged was actually We're gonna call her and find out when we do your second date update right after this hold on second, We're in the middle of a second date update with Tyler, who took Ali out for sushi the other day. Problem is he lost his glasses while taking the bus to get there. Oh man, And I know Brook looks down on people

who take the bus. Along with Alexis and Jose think gets totally fine and we one hundred percent support the middle class. Okay, yeah, that counts. Meanwhile, Brook, on the other hand, has no problem driving her lambeau down the bus lane while giving the middle finger to quote the commoners riding public transportation. All I'm saying is him waiting at the bus stop with her not the best exit, you know, not a sexy exit doesn't sound better when you say, yeah, why are you shaming bus riding? Sham,

You can look sexy waiting for a bus. The awkward part was since Tyler didn't have his glasses, he had to have Ali read off the sushi menu twice and help him find his bus home. So, Brook, before we call Ali, are there any other demographics you'd like to shame? First? Maybe some bicycle riders. You are making me such a villain. You're making yourself here. Okay, then say something nice about bus riders. I think riding the bus is great. I

think public transportation helps save the world. It's economical. I just think that it's not hot. Did you hear that, Tyler? She says, you smell like be You have to read in between the lines with books sometimes better for the environment. I'll say that. Yeah, I don't do that. Don't let her, guy, I'm just bringing up a possibility. My god, her lambo and drive off. Let's just call Ali here and get to the bottom of this before we lose any other Wait. Wait, wait,

you got a Lambeau yet. I had a two thousand and six Subaru until I wrecked it. Now I have nothing. She sent the Lambo back to the shop because the customer zations weren't done well. All right, here we go. Let's just call Ali and see what she has to say. Maybe maybe Brooke's ride and Alley was disgusted by the bus thing tooting. Here we go. Let's just call her. Hello, Hey, is this Ali? Yeah, that's me, Hey Ali, This is This is Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hi, Ali Radio.

Are you a listener? Uh? Sometimes I can. I guess. Oh, we're doing something that I guess you probably heard on our show before, called the second Date Update. Okay, so one of our listeners reach out for a little help named Tyler. Okay, Oh is that a good laugh or is that a demeaning laugh? Uh? I mean it's kind of weird. He's reaching out to you guys, well you haven't. You haven't gotten back to him after your date, so he's just a little confused as to why. Um, I mean,

I don't know what to say. Well, i'll tell you. What we know about your date is going out to sushi, and that Tyler admitted to us that he accidentally lost his glasses and left them on the bus. So it was kind of awkward the entire night. You read the men you do him and things like that annoying? Maybe was that annoying? Yeah? Very hard to believe, quite frankly, so hard to believe. You don't believe him about the glasses, No, not at all. I think this is like a whole shing.

How would that Why would you embarrass himself like that on purpose? Yeah? Can you explain he didn't embarrass him? I'll he made it up, So why why would you say that? It was obvious like he could see and I even like put him to the test a couple of times because like I didn't buy it. Well, you can still see a little bit without your glasses. It's not like he was totally blind. No, I have actually had lasic eye surgery back in the day, so I know what it's like to be like basically blind. So

that's why I could see right throw him. What do you mean you saw right through him? It was a pretty packed restaurant, And it's interesting that he found me pretty quickly. He didn't ask anybody to show him where I was or you know, I didn't see him like struggling or looking around like I mean, came right up to me. You've had bad vision before, you know, it's a whole scale, right, Like some people can't see letters very well. Other people like me, I literally couldn't see

anyone's face. But people that can't see other people's faces don't take their glasses off and lose him on the bus. Really, I mean, like this was like totally sucks to me. So like I kind of actually did my own test. So okay, she pulled out an eye chart at please read the lowest line. You can't know, but like what I did was we had um those like nice round chop sticks. They weren't like the wooden one, you know

what I mean? Like this you do, Like I kind of like fun it so it would fall and it would like spin him and he caught it so he could see that and he caught it before it hit the floor. The sushi the chopsticks rolled off the table and he was able he caught it, Yeah, first hand. So like, I don't know, Brooke is acting sus about this whole thing. I know, because you can't read, like letters are different than seeing an actual object fall off a table. Of course she'd be able to see it

some of the brook he works. He said, his vision wasn't that bad. I love it how I love seeing how the blind will stand up for their fellow blind. Before we take the next step in this call, we need to address what Brooke has been saying here. Why would he do that? Why would why would he lie about having bad vision? Not? What purpose does that? I mean? I think I know why. I think it's because like when we went outside and he was like, oh, you know, like I can't see the bus number. Can you take

me home? Just give me a ride, like a ride out of you. Yeah, like he I think this was his thing, like, oh I can't see, so like let's go to my place. I don't buy it. Someone with it. I can't. Actually, I don't know about I don't know how I feel about this. The only way to really get to the bottom of it is to have Tyler himself come on the phone. And as you know, he's been listening on the other line this entire time. Ali, unless he's suddenly deaf too, Tyler, Tyler, are you there? Yeah,

I'm here. Oh man, Tyler, you got something explaining to do? It sounds like, I think the craziest thing I've ever heard, honestly, Like, why would I do something like that? That's just I mean, oh, I'm on. This is why I wasn't like picking up sushi and smacking it on both sides of my face before I put it in my mouth? Hole? How disabled to that degree? Okay, okay, well how about this, Tyler, Like I need to ask you, were you playing it up at all? Like leaning into a little bit of

the blurrness to get a little sympathy. I mean, it sound like he was trying to use it as an opening to get back to her. Yeah, with that or with the menu, like it is a lot you know what, Let's go all the way and what if what if she's coming the truth, what if she's right that I made the whole thing up. I'm noting I did. What I'm saying is that the worst thing ever? Like, yeah, using someone's sympathy to get in their pants is not usually a good thing. I'm saying I was doing that.

I was I'm I'm not saying I was doing that at all, But I'm saying if this is there's no way I'm gonna be able to convince her one way or the other. So let's say, let's say she's one hundred percent right and I was just trying to spend some more time with an amazing person. Are you playing Devil's advocate on yourself. It's not a bad strategy, it's a good move. But what I'm hearing here, Tyler, is that you did maybe play it up a little bit more than you had to just to get onto Ali's

good side. I'm just saying that there's I'm not I'm not saying that, Oh my god, I'm just saying that I'm bored from this conversation. You talk a lot, you wrap it up for I'm Ali. I'm a little bit bored here too, So I'm just gonna Ali, we'd like to send you out on another date with Tyler with his glasses on this time, so no excuse, no, I mean he made this up. It was extremely desperate and pathetic, and I believe he's done this a few times before

and it's got to stop. This is terrible. Side until he started talking, it does sound like he's that's fine, guys, that's fine. You know, she want to go on a date with me. I will say, I've got another girl that I'd like you guys to call, and I just can't quite see her numbers. Man, I think we take this work, you know. Froak and Jeffrey in the morning.
