Second Date Update: Defensive Guitar Player

on the app Offer up. Do you know what that is? Yeah? Yeah, it's like the cooler form of Craigslist, but it's a little less murdery. Yeah, you just like buy and sell stuff from people like Facebook Marketplace. Yeah. So, anyway, I was going to buy this guitar from this guy named Derek. Do you play guitar? No, I'm redoing my apartment, but I thought it would look cute. I have just like reading the whole thing. Okay, buying musical instruments for decoration,

that's cute. I mean, like if I have a party someone else could play in, or it's obviously just a great way to meet a guy who plays a guitar. Because I'm guessing the guy that you bought the guitar from is who you went out with. Yeah, we guy named Derek. We met at a coffee shop and I to him and I was like, he was really cute then with guitars, tell you now to stay away. When he offered to buy my coffee, okay wow, And I was like, okay, perfect. I got my regular triple ventie

coconut milk to pump white molt guy. Oh my god, girl, Hey, if he's offering then right, So did you guys actually hang out or did you just do the guitar exchange give him the money and that was it. Yeah, we

like talked very briefly. I mean, he bought my coffee, We exchanged guitars and like harded ways and then like not even an hour later, he texted me okay, and he was like, I didn't want to like ask you at the coffee shop because I didn't want to make you feel weird, but I'd love to take you out tonight. You guys went on a date date. Yeah, that's a classy move. Where did he take you? It was one of those bars where you throw axes. Oh yeah, you throw axes at targets, like this guy, he's like trying

to hold axes. He plays guitar like hard and so many red flags already. How was the axe throwing? Oh my god, it was so fun. You have to go, but they do cut you off like you can only have like two drinks. Oh, it's just smart, right, So I invited him back my place, but it was like not that late. Yeah, you could play me a song on the guitar so perfect. Yeah, I have a feeling.

I know how this night ended for her. Well you're back to our place, still having a good time, and he plays me at Sweet Caroline, And I jokingly was like, oh, is that the best song you know how to play? Joe, No, you can't poke funded a man playing guitar for you that that's a serious moment for any guy. I'm with you, though, as soon as you said, he started playing Sweet Carolina, Like I thought he was going to like show off his skills, like don't you know any like my Chemical

Romance or something like something modern? Anybody could play that. I mean, what did he say? He was like, Oh no, no, I can play this off like mumbly, you know how guitar And we were talking and then he's like, well, I gotta go, I gotta get home, and yeah, I mean that's like obviously a Joe. It wasn't really though, obviously. Yeah, So that's why you think that you maybe offended him. I mean that's all I can think of, because I thought we had a great time and yeah, he's not

texting me back. Did you guys even kiss or anything? No, we probably would have if I hadn't opened Oh my god. But oh man, So do you want to go out with him? Because he seems like if that's the reason, that is incredibly sensitive, right, Yeah, I totally want to go out with him. Like he plays guitar and he took me ac throwing like it was like such a weird fun day. How long has it been since he last responded to you? Like a week and a half,

ten days or something? Wow? Okay, Well, if we get him on her phone, can we get through a whole conversation without you saying something offensive? Again? I will bite my phone? All right. Well, we're gonna give him a call and get your second date update right after this. Okay, Okay, hold on second, is this really the best second date update we can do? Yeah? I guess it is. Sorry, if you're just tuning in. Maddie is on the phone

for a second date update. She met a guy when she bought a guitar are from him on a marketplace app. They went out acts throwing together, and she invited him back to her place and asked him to play a little song on the guitar that she bought, and he played the song Sweet Caroline Classic, which it's a good song, but not good enough for Maddie because she tried to joke by saying, is that the best song you can do?

Totally joking. Yeah, Well it may have offended him and the joke might not have come across because now she's not getting a call back from this guy. Derek Brooke, maybe you have some mom advice for this young single woman. I am also a woman who has dated many men. Okay, it'd fallen for guitar players myself twenty years ago. Drawn your experien It's a trap, that's all I'm saying, Maddie. They're all a trap. Okay. And maybe maybe he doesn't know any other songs. Maybe that's his one go to song.

Oh it's like his move Yeah no, no, no, it was like really cute it for him. To play a song. But I mean, if you're going to like serenade a hot girl play a song that's been on the radio in the lap ten twenty years, right, I mean it's a fair point. I guess at some like end of the bar. Long Okay, wait, I mean if that's all he knows, you'll still go out with him, right, Like you're not actually judging your date based on his guitar knowledge, totally. Okay, Okay,

we're all clear. Now let's give Derek a call. Are you ready? Yes, let's do this. I'm to be quiet, right yeah, So so try and be quiet and we'll try and get the reason why he's not calling you back. Okay, Okay, here we go. Hello, can I speak to Derek please? This is Eric. Hey, my name's Young Jeffrey from the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. How are you doing? Um? What do you guys want? Oh? Well, sounds like some angry listening that you've been doing. Very

friendly guy. Yeah, have you ever heard of second date update? Yeah? I have? Sorry, I feel like we're annoying you, Derek? Is this a bad time? How can I help you? Okay, we're doing a segment, right, now called a second date update. It's where we call people who are blowing someone off after they went on on a date with that person. Okay, and so you recently went up with a girl named Maddie and she's wondering why you're not calling back. Oh oh my god? Whoa. Oh so you remember Maddie? Yeah?

I do, and I you know what, just tell her I have a girlfriend. Um, that's probably the best way. Just tell her, did you have a girlfriend? I mean I don't really have a girlfriend. Oh okay, such suckers, Like obviously that's his excuse. Okay, so that's not the reason why you don't want to call her. What is the reason though? No, man, I just don't. I don't want to get into any drama or anything. You know, I don't. I'm not really about that. Did you think,

I mean, you were attracted to her at some point? Right? Yeah? I mean, look, she seemed like she was a lot of fun. But I mean I should have known she was high maintenance when I offered her a coffee and she got like a seven dollar drink. Oh yeah, so wait is it her high maintenance coffee order? That? No? No, I mean, look, she's fun, but you mean, you know how these kind of girls are. I mean, they're kind of crazy. Her coffee drink tells you that she's nuts.

The coffee was just the beginning, okay. So like after that we go axe throwing and like it's kind of fun. And then she invites me back to her apartment and she's like, well, I hope we don't run into my ex. Oh god, it was like, what do you live with your ex? Right? And no she doesn't. But they do live in the same apartment building together, and they only she just moved down the hall. Yeah, they lived together, and then after they broke up, she decided to just

move two doors down as revenge. So wait, did you ask her why though, Well, she said that she thought it was fun that he had to deal with seeing her all the time even though they were broken up. That is kind of funny in an unstable kind of way. And that's echo kind of way. I'm sorry, kind of psycho, I mean, eco cho, I'm sorry. How rude are you? Did you really just say slow down? Maddie? Yeah? Yeah, okay, wait, Maddie, why are you on the phone. Yeah, we should have

told you this maybe a little while ago. Derek Maddie has been listening the entire time on the other line, and oh my gosh, this is why I didn't want it. Yeah, beautiful a woman the S word, it's actually the P word. I mean, if we want to be Maddie, I'm sorry, not gonna lay that whatever. That was so rude. Okay, wait though, Maddie, I mean I think the important pieces is like why are you living two doors down for your mer ex? Well, okay, I said that thing like,

oh I hope you don't run into my ex. Like I was like lighthearted about it. I don't know why he's thinking it serifully let me playing. Okay, first of all, he he done to me because I cut him cheating on me. Okay, so why didn't you dune him? Then you should get away from that guy farther than two

doors It seems like a good reason to move on. Maddie. Well, he was being such a about it and how I wanted the apartment because it's like close to my jobs, like I already have a perking space, and he was being so rude about it, and I'm like in an apartment like two doors down was opening up. Yeah, it's two doors down, like not my first pick, but that's where it was, and I wasn't going to let him win. You know, Like, No, that is so such a horrible idea on every I mean, that just speaks to, like,

your really poor judgment. I'm sorry, I do not want to be with my poor judgment. It speaks to how he is because it's easier. I don't think anyone's debating that, But I mean, why would you want to live next to that? Yeah, Maddie, if this guy is such a jerk to you and he's wronged you in so many ways, why would you want to stay in close proximity to him to make him what he deserves to see me thriving and having fun and coming out with guys and

hanging out with my girlfriend. But Maddie, that's what social media is for. Like a normal person, when you want to seek revenge, you just post pictures of how great you look and you're on a new outfit and you partying with your friends, like on Instagram. I know I am the professional of that, but he blocked me on everything. He blocked me on Venmo people. Oh wow, he doesn't even want your money, Betty, You are better than him.

Stops doing to this level. I mean, you cannot let the guy who cheated on you have the even opportunity to block you. What are you doing? I just this apartment has a washer dryer in unit. I will say, I'm gonna tell you that that actually I could kind of get I know, I'm not gonna lie in uno. So that doesn't none of this feels awkward to you, Maddie. You feel totally comfortable seeing him all the time. And yeah, he is the one that should have left, and hopefully

he'll get the picture and he'll leave. Oh okay, so you're waiting him out. Okay, well at least you're not going to move when he moves. Yeah, you're waiting him out or you're not over him. I don't know, we're I mean I think we're we're like flying somewhere. Yeah, in both zones right now? Well, yeah, I mean either way, Like, whatever the reason is, you shouldn't tell a guy who you're on a first date with that your ex lives in the same building as you. Like that just a

really weird vibe. And okay, honestly just makes the guy scared and made me want to just run away. I'm sorry I made you feel that way. But I just wanted you to know that if we ran into him, or if he was around, then you would have known, you know. But like just you just don't think about it. I don't think about it. What's wrong with you? Stop thinking about it? Okay o, Maddie. He does bring up a good point, Maddie. I mean that's like more like

fourth date topic. Once you've got the guy hooked and then he can't go back because he already likes you, that's when you drop knowledge like that. I barely see him. I see once a week at most, and it's like in passing. I mean, yeah, I think the real question is, Maddie, are you sure you're ready to move on? Are you sure you're ready to date? Yeah? Honestly, Derek, you have nothing to worry about. Your like way bigger than him. And if we did see him and like things that

in times, you could definitely beat him up. Oh my god, I would have to move for you to date me. Is that what you're saying? I mean, that's like the bare minimum that you have to do to Oh my god, Now who's been high maintenance your expectations here. Let's let's see if if Derek is open for this. Derek, would you be willing to go out on a second date with Maddie? We will offer to pay for it. Yeah. No, Why Hey, she's got to wash her and dryer. Derek,

you could bring over loads of laudry. That's very enticing. But I'm good, I'm good. Okay, Maddie. Have we learned anything from this? Yeah? But he's high maintenance and the worst. I think that's right. Yes, men are high maintenance and the worst. Yea, and the worst. We are the worst, Maddie. I am so sorry. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning
