Second day. It doesn't feel good when you know somebody just lied to you. No, not at all. Like for example, i'd a listener tell me just the other day, Wow, Jeff, your song was so great. Area keeping it going? No, I guess you hate me when you tell me next? Brooks nice one of our listeners. Sure, one of our listeners were right. He says his date lied right to his face when they met up, and he does not understand why. So he's on this right now. Ryan. How's

it going? Man? Hey, how you doing? I can't figure out why you're calling us for a second date. Update. If this person lied to you right away on your first date, yeah, let's find out what happened. But first, tell us about the girl that you met up with. What's her name? Yeah, her name is Lena. She seemed great. She's a realtor. I met her during an open house that she was showing. Oh that's cool. Were you shopping

or just up and for hot realtors around? No? No, no, I'm looking to buy a house and so it was a nice I'm not gonna take it, but she was cute. That's genius. I never thought about it. But if you meet women while you're buying houses. They think you have tons of money. Well, if they're realators, they're actually going to get your background and all of you. So how did you What type of game did you try and

play on Lena? There no game, no game. You know, we just started chatting and we kind of hit it up. We just kind of clicked. You know, there's something nice and well the rare just honest, play it straight game. It's not a game. I'm going to write that one down. Yeah, I don't know how that worked out for you, but it's great that it did. So what did you and

Lena end up doing for a date anyway? Yeah, Like I emailed her rights either email because of the open house and everything, so and I said, you know, I'd love to just get you to know you any more. This isn't about work, you know, I'm not interested in the house. Just came out and flat up said it right, okay, and she said yeah, she said yeah, I think that would be great. Nice. So it felt like a date going in, Like it seemed pretty clear that she wasn't

just trying to get another client exactly. Yes, yes, I'm okay to talk about Like we did talk about work and everything like that. I'm an audiobook narrator, she's a reletter so we like talked about our jobs and what we're doing right now. Cool. That was just a part of it, right. It was a coffee and it was it was nice, but it only lasted for about twenty to twenty five minutes. It was pretty short. She gave an abrupt ending to it all. She looked at her

watch and she said, oh, no, I've got a client meeting. Okay, and she did the quick like hug goodbye, and she left. Oh you don't believe her. You think she was lying about the client meeting. So here's the catch. I know this is weird, but check it out. I also left because I was like, why am I here? You know, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. If she's leaving, you would probably end up leaving too. In the coffee shop for another half hour.

So I saw her walking down the street. I was a little bit behind her, and she went into the container store that was right down the street. That was it had all the you know, organizational tools for a closet and whatnot. So I just saw her going into the client and I was like, that's a weird place to meet to meet a client in a container store, and so she just stayed there for like thirty minutes, just like browsing. Wait wait, wait where did you stay

for that thirty minutes? Because that seems weird. I was on a park bench grass the street. Oh, it's like a private investigator. I would do the same thing. She's a realtor. Maybe she had to get like some sort of something for stage in a house, or you know, like there could be a very plausible reason. Great, why lie about a client meeting them? Because maybe she honestly had to go get this stuff. Here's the question. Did she actually buy anything from the store? O? No, she didn't.

She browsed for thirty minutes and then just left. Did she talk to anybody while she was in the store, Well, I don't know. You know, you bugged her. Did you go into the store? I did not go into the store. No, No, I didn't. Oh that's that's where you draw the line. And even stalkers have to have their limits. Yeah, so what happened? I mean, why exactly are you calling for our help right now? Are you still interested in trying to get another date with Lena? No? I really would

like to see what her excuses. I just want to call her out. I want to call her out on the radio, even if she said, Bro, what if she's like, oh my god, he was so great and I actually can't wait to see him again. What's your reaction going to be to that? I don't believe it? Then? Why did you lie to me? Though? Is this just like a lot of bad dates all piling up and you finally cracked? No, this is me just being like, look,

be yourself, be unadulteratedly yourself all the time. And if you standing up for yourself, bro, I think you're standing up for your own morals. Right, she did anything wrong? Like you still don't know? Like it's just easier to say client meeting than it is to say, well, we're staging this home and I need organizational tools for the junk drawer, so I need go, you know, Like, but it's not even a day? Is so short? It is short.

Let's I can pull around the room. Who believes that Lena was telling the truth that she actually had to meet a client? No? No from Alexis, Can I vote that? I don't think it matters, Like I don't think, but I think she could absolutely possibly be telling the truth. Okay, absolutely, PAUSI a liar like all women. All right, another burn scores Okay, So, jeff I think she was telling the truth. Okay,

so against Yeah, so I don't. Is there anything that happened during the coffee date that could have happened that would have made her want to leave earlier? Yeah? Good questions. Yeah, I've been racking my brain about that and I can't think of it. Okay, you didn't yell at a barista or anything? No, no, okay, Well, we're gonna try and do some investigation here. We'll get to the bottom of this. We'll play a song, we'll come back, we'll call Lena for you, and we'll figure out whether she lied or

whether she told the truth. We're gonna do it right after this and your second date update. Hold on, man, It's Brooke and Jeffrey and the mysterious case of the container store confession. Ryan's date after twenty minutes said she had to go to meet up with a client, but after he followed her, he saw her go into a container store. Quote casually browsing yea, which, might I add, Brooke doesn't sound very urgent like she said it was, or very fun. Yeah. Yeah, So now I'm kind of

back on the fence here. At first I said I believed Ryan's date actually had a meeting. Now not so sure anymore. I'm waffling here, having a hard time siding with a dude who sat outside for thirty minutes and watched a lady from a park bench. I mean, whatever happens, this is definitely going to be interesting. And Ryan, you say that you're an audiobook narrator once this mystery is solved,

narrating it for the show. Sure, no problem, Okay, I cannot It's going to be in a New York Times bestseller. Here's my question. Because you're all about the truth, right, you want every last detail of the truth. And so does that mean when we get her on the phone, we can tell her that you sat outside on a park bench and watched her while she shopped. Yeah you know what, Fine, that's fine, that's fine again, Like I'm not interested in getting a second take. Yeah, we can't

blow it. You just want honesty. Yeah, okay, But we need to be careful here because even though we're on an investigative mission, we can't come in too hot, like get her on the phone and be like, tell us what you did. Yeah, you need to find out what her story is. And then after we grease the wheels, then we can break out the heavy interrogation tactics. Okay, okay, Detective debout is all the case, that's right? All right, Ryan, you're ready to do this, man, Yeah, let's go for it. Okay,

I'm going to dial her number right now. We're going to solve this mystery. Here we go. Hello, Hi, is this Lena? This is she? Hi, Lena. My name's jeff I work on the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. I was hoping you have a second to talk with us as sure. What is this recarding? Is regarding a date that you went on not too long ago with a guy named Ryan. Oh um, what is this about? This is a segment that we do on

our show called a second Date Update. It's where if you go out with someone and afterwards, if that person isn't calling you back, you can email our show and we'll help you figure out the reason why. Oh okay, right, Ryan. We've spoke to him a little bit before he told us about your date, and he's a little bit confused about how everything ended. So we're hoping to get your perspective on what happened. Would you mind telling us about it? Yeah,

I mean we went and got coffee and that was that. Yeah, he told us that. He said it didn't last very long. It was like twenty minutes or something, and then you kind of bailed quickly at the end. Oh well, I didn't really realize what time it was and I needed to run, so like I needed to wrap things up. You didn't need to run, Lena, This is gonna feel a little awkward here, But and I don't think Ryan

meant to do this on purpose. But after you guys left for coffee, he said he left as well and ended up going in the same direction as you down the street and he saw you go into a container store. Wait a second, so he was he like stalking me. It feels like that. I don't think he meant to do it on purpose, but he did see that happen. How could you not do that on purpose? Walk and follow me? Well, you can both be going in the

same direction after you leave, northwest southeast, just the right. So, Lena, we're just trying to figure out on Ryan's behalf, did you really have a client meeting in the store like you told Ryan you did Wow, So he follows me and I have to now account for my action and see Jeffrey, we're just trying. Ryan just wants to know if that was the truth or if he did something wrong that made you just want to get out of

the date. I just think you need to be blunt with him and just tell us why why didn't you want to see him again? Because he really honestly has no idea. He has no idea at all, none at all. Well, he's just confused because you know, you said I really have to go. You looked at your watch even in your like this is urgent, and then you casually browsed around afterward. And so he feels like he was lied to.

What do you mean casually? How did he know that, we guys, because he was on a park bench watching you the entire time what you were doing. So he's a psycho. Look, you can understand, you can understand dating is hard. Right now, he feels like he's being lied to. It's his last straw. He's not he thought I'm trying to attack you or anything. He just wants to know

the truth. He's just exhausted from this whole process. We're not trying to tell you everything that happened through the coffee conversation said it didn't last very long and he didn't have much of a chance to talk with you. Okay, So I don't know if he told you this, but he's a narrator for audiobooks. Yeah, okay. So he takes out an MP three player and he hands me like one of his headsets and says, here, you need to listen to this, and I'm like, okay, so I put

it in. I'm already kind of wearried out because it was been in his ear and I don't know, yeah, but just to be nice, I listened. And he's actually kind of talented. But when we were done, you know, I'm trying to just put on a face because I'm like, I don't know what he expects from me. And then he's like, did you hear how I said the word explorer terry? And I'm like what. He's like, very powerful, huh,

you know, and just starts going on about himself. And at this point I'm a little kind of taken aback because he just seems extremely obsessed with himself. So he made you listen to his voice on an audio recording and then had you review his performance of it. Yes, yes, and like, I'm sorry, but I felt extremely uncomfortable the minute he asked me to put that thing in my ear, and then like I don't know, I felt like the only thing I could do is just be like, hey,

I need to go. I mean, I did have a showing later that day, but yeah, i'd lie too, and so of his work and wants to show you what he does. It's annoying. It was a little much on the first dage. Well, I hate to make this worse for him, but I need to let you know that Ryan's been listening quietly on the other line this entire time, and he wants to talk to you. Ryan. You there, Yeah, I'm here. How do you feel. I gotta tell you,

I kind of love it. Like I know that's somewhat like weird and massochistic of me, but like I kind of need a harsh tone when it comes to that stuff, because yeah, I do. I'm proud of my work, and I might go a little overboard being like self congratulatory, and I see how from the outside he can seem obsessed with myself. It is a little bit weird asking her to review it in front of you right after you listen, Like, wasn't that wonderful? I see how that can be? And so you know what I work on that.

I really will. That's reasonable. Usual people that react like that. I know, I don't know what to do. I mean, listen to that, Lena, Like he understands the flaws that he made. Like, does that change the way you look at him? I mean the way he responded. I was surprised. And don't you think it's really impressive the way that I've handled this situation, just making everything so nice between you guys. I mean that makes me a pretty good radio host, wouldn't you think? Right now? Jeff, can you

just listen to my voice? How strong and powerful it is? I mean, I would definitely listen to myself, wouldn't you? Guys? Couldn't you say exploratory for me? Please? Exploratory ultimately, Lena, Like, what I like to say is I like I love taking notes, Okay, Like I like to be able to take direction, and I like to be able to do what you are so like if it comes off too much sometimes, which I do, come on, Yeah, ignoring the thirty minute bench watch thing. Okay, yeah we are. Okay,

let's just ask. I mean, I didn't expect that we were going to even do this, But Lena, would you like to go out with Ryan one more time? And we'll pay for it and he won't make you listen to any of his work? I can't. I'm rooting for this, Lena, because it's like logic and reason have finally maybe prevailed. You switched teams, bro. I mean, as long as he can work on his boundaries at the whole following me. Thank you? Um, but Ryan, you know, I guess i'd be up for it. Okay, So from Lena, Ryan, what

do you think? Are you still cool with this? No? Ultimately, she lied. She lied to me like she she simply said like she had to go to a client meeting, and we clearly saw that that wasn't true. I can't deal with a liar. That's just like good graces, it's just good etiquette. Okay, what is she supposed to say? You are incredibly self absorbed? I need to leave. A lie does not equal etiquette. Okay, I a woman have probably lied to you. I'm just gonna tell you that. Yeah,

a lot. It's interesting that she gave you grace for your mistake, and you're not giving her any grace. Thank you. This is probably why he's still single. No, probably it makes sense now, Ryan, I've got boundaries and I can't. I can't take a liar. I can't. Oh my god. All right, So, uh that didn't work out. But Ryan, do we still have a deal here? Will you narrate this for us? Yeah? Sure if you want, like a self absorbed person narrating his own story. Sure what? All right?

I think we have the right guy. So he admits that broke and Jeffrey in the morning
