Second Date Update: Cat's Got Your Couch

apparently rides the bus to work all the time. And I know it's probably too much for me to ask you to be non judgmental doing this, but can you at least try and keep it civil and not spit on the floor when I say her name, although you know what, there is probably usually spit and bodily fluids on the floor of the bus, So maybe make her feel like she's at home. Very true. Let's welcome Tricia to the show. Tricia, how you doing? I'm doing well?

How are you guys doing? Terrible intro? Tricia, You riding the bus is just fine? Yes? Did you hear how she said? That? Was such just shame? It's fine, nicer. I have boyfriends that only rode the bus. She broke up with all of them. Immedia tell you that. But Tricia, we're gonna we're gonna try our best to be on your side. Here, tell us about why you emailed for a second date update. Who'd you go out with? All? Right? So his name is Dave, Okay, I met him on

the bus. So what happened was sometimes I'll see the same kind of characters on the bus every day, but this guy hadn't met before. He sat next to me. Didn't think much of it, but then the bus had like some kind of problem the engine. I don't know what it was, but Brook cut the wires. But so the bus stalls. We were hanging out there, so of course, you know, we start talking to each other. Next to me, it seemed like a really nice guy. He's like, listen,

I'm already late for work. Let's just go meet up for coffee. I like that instead of I'm already late for work. We should call, you know, somebody to come get us. Let's just screw it, right, And I was like, yeah, he seems lovely, and so anyway, we go to the coffee. It's just a quick thing, but we get we get our cups of coffee. We exchange numbers, okay, so it was like more than just a friendship saying yeah, I mean I felt like, why would he give me his number?

Otherwise you're asked me to coffee. Did you do that like romantic thing where you guys sit out of each other's coffee cups? We did not, Or you do that thing where you interlock your arms and take a sip hoping not just feel scalding hot coffee down. I don't expect Brook to understand what romance looks like, but I sure did you guys not pull that move? We did not pull that move. Yeah. I think the next question is did he call you? Did you guys go out again?

They exchange numbers Jeffrey, Oh, okay, sure, go ahead, and that's that. Hares were ridiculed to the meat. So I'm like, how's your week been. We're talking, and he's like, yeah, I've just been really busy. I'm planning this escape sale. I have a lot of stuff to get rid of. I've got friends helping me. And I was actually like, you know what, I actually in the market for a couch right now. My cats destroyed my old one and I'm like, do you buy any chance have a couch?

He's like, I do as a matter of fact, and he goes, just come pick it up. It's not going to charge you for it. If you like it, you can just have it. Get a free couch out a deal sweet, right, And at this point I don't know what the couch looks like or anything, but we went to a bar together. He showed me pictures on the phone. I'm like, this is perfect. Sounds like a hot date showing each other couch pictures. It's kind of like a two for one deal, right, just getting a hot date

and a free couch. Did it pass your eye test? You mean the guy or the couch, because both did? Oh oh more than just sit on that couch when you go pick it up? So did you go get it? Well? You think? So I go to his house. I said, sure, I'll take it. I just need some way to get at home, right, AKA, you need to take this to my house please? Ye okay, hoping he's going to offer.

But it's weird because he's got this little back patio thing with a sliding lass door and it's been open and at this point his cat comes running in cat jumps up onto the couch and like nestles into it, and he's like, I'm sorry, Mike hat Is. He's not Breth misattached to this couch, but it's almost like he's claiming it right now. And he's like, I don't know if it's a sign, but suddenly I just have this feeling like I need to keep this couch, like this cat is in love with he gave DIBs to his

cat over you cat just nozzle the couch. I mean, I'm a cat person, so I get it to a degree that I also am like, that's so weird. Do you think it's maybe because you asked that you needed help bringing it back? Like all of a sudden, the cat is on it and then you're asking that and he's like, oh crash, never mind. I won't even help a good friend moved their couch somebody. I'm just meeting for a date in my living room now, So does that mean you didn't get it? No, he didn't give

it to me. And I'm like, maybe when we hang out again, he'll like provide some clarity. Who guys, I never heard from him again, And you think it's all because of the couch. I don't know why. Maybe the cat nuzzled up against your ankle and was like, oh, cat has DIBs on you now. But let's see and find out. We're gonna play a song. We'll come back and we'll call Dave. We'll ask him why he's not calling you back, and maybe see if that couch is still available so I could have it, because yeah, I

need some help in my place. Anyway, we'll do it in your second date update, but I still get DIBs on the couch over you. We're gonna let Dave settle this. We're gonna call him. Maybe we'll do it right after this. It's a very interesting story we just heard from Tricia about her date with a guy named Dave, but also very matter of fact, like she didn't have a lot of emotion. You mean, I feel like I'm just being honest here. I feel like, Tricia, you don't seem very

reconnected to the guy. It sounds like what you really want out of this is a second shot at that couch that was selling before you got cat blocks. I gotta say I wouldn't I wouldn't judge you for it. That's a good deal. I'll just ask if I offered you the couch right now instead of a date. What would you say, Trisha? Um, I think I would take the couch at this point. Yeah, yeah, really you wouldn't. It probably would have been that way the other point too.

I Mean the whole thing is like, I don't know Dave that well. I'm not invested emotionally, and if it's a beautiful couch, I can get for a bargain and it's perfect more emotionally invested in the couch. Those are smart choices you're making in your life. I actually back that one. Those are harder to find the men that fits your place perfectly, and I love the look of it. Okay, well, this is gonna be the first time we've ever done a second date for a piece of furniture, but let's

give it a shot. We're gonna call Dave. Good couch is hard to find. I'm gonna call his number. Hello, Hey, is this Dave? Uh? This is a Dave who's calling? Hey Dave. My name is Jeff from the show Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We're on the radio, Like right now we're on the radio. Why am I on the radio? What's going on here? Good question? Dave Um. Before we can really get into it, I do need to ask. We heard that you have a couch that was up for sale, A really nice couch. We're wondering

is that still available? Uh? What I mean? I still got the couch. But who? How do you know that? Wh who told you this? We heard about this amazing couch from one of our listeners named Tricia. Tricia remember remember hung out with her a little bit, went to a bar and showed her the couch. Yeah, yeah, no, I remember Tricia. What you sounds that I'm mad? Are you mad at Tricia? No? No, I'm not mad. I just I'm done with Trisha and I didn't I didn't really want to bring it back up. Did Who are

you calling me about this? You're done with her? Well? She told us that you were the one who asked her out after you met on the bus. I did. Yeah, honestly, she was cool. I like Trisha, she's she's like a good person. Didn't feel right. It didn't feel right, was it? I mean? She also said that you offered her your couch for free. I did. I did at one point, Yeah, but then things changed and so she didn't end up taking the couch changed. Yeah, why everything seems so good

up to that moment. Yeah. Uh, you guys are being a little nosy here. I don't even know you. I don't know what this is about. So are we done here? I mean, so, I apologize for that, but that's kind of what we do on this segment. We're trying to help Tricia figure out what went wrong because she's clueless. Yeah, we just want to help her tell her, Hey, what happened. Is it something that you think she should understand already, Like why why you don't want to talk to her again?

Or is it because she rides the bus and you don't like that? Because that's it's a popular opinion on this show that bus people are not worthy of love. But that I ride the bus to work. I think it's totally fine. I don't really understand what you guys, we'll check that one off of the list. It's not that. So what is it? What's the reason that you have

this total shift in attitude towards Tricia? I mean, we heard somebody about your cat, but I don't know if anybody really believes that your cat rubbing up against the couch is going to stop you from giving it away. I think it's because she asked for help in moving the couch. Is that why? Theories? No, it's not that all right, listen, if it'll end this quicker, I'm just gonna I'm gonna let you know. But it's some people might think it's weird, but this is the truth. Okay, okay, okay.

So the a state where I've been living for the last couple of months. Actually, my Grandma's the state. Uh, she passed away just a few months ago, So I've been taking things there. Oh yeah, that's hard, that's okay. I think you appreciate that. Anyway. The cat was my grandma's and I'm taking care of the cat as well. Yeah, I don't know. As soon as Tricia comes to get the couch, this cat, who has never ever, i mean not once jumped on this couch, went right up to it.

It's like the cat saw Tricia and tried to intervene. I think, I mean, I know, I know deep inside that that is my grandma. That is a sign that she is speaking through this cat, and it was a sign to not give this couch away and to not see this woman anymore. I don't know what reason why when you know, you know, and something just told me, this is my grandma telling me to watch out. Was

your grandma always pretty judgy about the people you would do? Yeah, honestly, she just wanted to make sure I was happy, and I think I trusted her opinions. Okay, I'm going to keep trusting it in the afterlife. Weird question back to you, is your grandma the cat or is your grandma she's speaking through the catrol? You know that that actually makes sense to me? Is that weird? Yeah? I mean I don't know the logistics of the supernatural here. All I know is the feeling I got. Yeah, okay, it just

nobody gets the couch, not just Tricia. I think it was just that Tricia. I mean, I believe in signs. Yeah, and I'm just reading the signs that Tricia has been on the other line listening this entire time and wants to talk to you. Yeah. I feel like I've been set up here. What's going on? Don't be bored? Don't. I mean, you can be if you need to be, But like, thank you, I just don't tell men how to feel. She's not trying to like upset you. She didn't know she didn't know that that was what was

going on, right, Tricia, Uh No, I didn't. Um, that is so weird, Like you really think that your grandma sent you, was signed through your cat that we shouldn't go out anymore. And this makes me feel like you might have some mental problems. To be honest, that is so rude. He said, Hey, this is gonna sound weird. You know, it doesn't feel right. Everybody experiences grief and everything else in different ways, and this is the way

he feels like his grandma's talking to him now. I do think maybe the argument could be that what if the cat was saying, yes, I'm excited about this instead of like maybe you were interpreting the cat wanted to hang out with her with the counsel. I mean it could be Honestly, does that sound like a possibility, Dave, After this conversation, I'm more convinced than ever that the way I interpreted it was correct. My grandma just helped

me dodge a bullet, So thank you. I'm going to trust you, know what, Dave, like forget even you because at this point, obviously we're not a romantic match, and I'm so fine with that. Obviously, what I mean, but like the fact that can I just like have that? Could we just do the couch exchange because I'll give you two hundred dollars for it. I'll have someone comes to get out the couch. I still want the couch.

Something can be salvaged from this conversation. He's going to give you his grandmother's couch like it's just had three hundred dollars. I would sooner bring that couch to the dumps than give it to you. Oh, don't put your grandma's couch in the dump, bro, It's seriously a little dramatic. Okay, it's Tricia. Yeah, you're getting the know You're getting a know from Dave, from Dave's cat and from Dave's grandma. So thank you Dave's cat, because now I feel like

I dodged a bullet on top of it, you know, well, Dave. Okay, so no, you don't have to go out or see Tricia again. But I know your cat's not here on the line with us. But do you think you can ask it if your grandma thinks I'm a good person, because I would really like to have that couch. It sounds really nice. No, sorry, but I'm getting that couch. I'm offering more money than you are not getting, like you've been cut out of the equations. Somebody should get

that couch. I think it should be me, Dave. They give it to the cat, well, go ahead and try ikea dot com and let them leave me alone. Second couch update Jeffrey in the morning. I was just another one of those second date updates that all of a sudden it goes off the rails and there's no way to fix it. Oh my gosh, it's just spiral. She just I'm sorry she was mean. Yeah, I mean, gosh, if you don't believe that your grandma, can you know, show you signs? Fine, whatever, but you don't need to

be so mean. Somebody overly aggressive. And it's really not fair of her to discredit the cat signs because she was the one that told us she followed the signs when her bus broke down, that she was supposed to hang out with them. Oh that's a good point. Maybe. I mean, I don't know that I was fully listening when she said that. Just selective sign reading and selective listening apparently in this room. I think she just matched you didn't get the couch that's honestly what she's really

upset about. I guarantee she googled it and like on wafer or something, it's like a thousand dollars cound. Oh yeah, I don't want to run into her inside of home goods. That would be But remember, if you ever want to get a second date update, you can email the show. We'll call the person who wasn't calling you back. Broke and Jeffrey in the morning
