Second date. When it comes to online dating, you're definitely going to come across some weird, out of the norm profiles, Like maybe you run across a young lady with wings and a tail. Okay, you don't see that all the time. Yeah, Or maybe you found a guy with a handlebar mustache which was quirky, but it was located in the middle of his neck. Yeah, you're probably gonna swipe left on those the majority of the time. Yeah. Yeah. One of our listeners, Daniel, came across a unique profile and ended

up getting a date out of it. So let's talk to him. Hey, Daniel, you there all right? Hey, I'm going good Dan, Daniel, Sorry, I couldn't resist her the only time you're going to I don't know, we'll see, let's see how I feel. But Daniel, thanks for being on with us. Tell us about the woman that you want us to call today. What's her name? Her name is Becca? Okay? Okay, and I mean Jeffrey Head alluded to the fact that she had an interesting profile, like,

what was so intriguing about it? Okay, So everything seemed pretty straightforward at first, and then I go to the bottom and it says and like all caps. FYI, this account is operated by my father. I do not have to password before. Yeah. No, at this the beginning, and it says he will be the one checking it. You will have to meet him one on one at least once before you meet me with him present, so you know you got to pass the one on one. Then

he's there to chaperone in your first day. Oh my god. Okay, and wait, hold on that flags aren't flying up all over the place. I would block that room, Daniel's thinking, dream girl, Yeah, saving psycho family. I would never let my dad read messages between me and the guy. Yeah, I know they're supposed to be hot and heavy. Did it say anything else? Yeah? Yeah. It also said do not message me if you've ever cheated or if you

are divorced for any reason other than your wife abandoned you. What. Okayeah, except cheaters probably would still messages anyways. Yeah. Oh yeah, So Daniel, did you meet all those parameters? I did pass through, and I, like you said, I thought, oh my god, this seems like a lot of trouble. But I also thought, Okay, if her dad is this protective, then maybe she must be something really special. Let me shoot my shot. I give her a ry nobly I'll tell you that. Yeah, and she's got some daddy issues

yeahs no divorces and dad joke. So you're saying that you actually sent a message to this dad, I said, said the dad, the whole family. Yeah, doesn't it feel like so dated? Like you're asking permission to go on a date with the file? Like it's just in certain cultures that's the norm, bro Not in ours, though, I will say, like you really will wean out a lot of the people that are like no hook up? Yeah exactly, and Brooke, if you don't like it, then you don't

have to click on it. You don't have to meet the father. You just swipe left and find another profile of a girl that's one to go on night one. It's interesting. What was your expectations of this? I honestly had no expectations at all. I just saw something it was interesting and unique and figured why not? Okay, Wow, it does feel like it could be Britney Spears's dating profile. Yeah it's ye. So obviously the dad must have responded, well,

that's the thing. So the next day I go check my inbox and there's a message, but it's from Rebecca, and she says that she just puts that on her profile while like a way to keep out all the creeps and the thirsty guys. And she really nice From the response, I mean, she's got to be pretty cool if she's able to come up with something that creative as a way to like put on your profile to stand out and make yourself unique. I think it's weird that you think, Okay, we get it, we get it.

Do you think this is cool? No, Jeff, imagine your mom running your dating account. Fun fact, my mom did set up a dating without my permission and love it. I'm a catch. Just no wonder you're siding with this girl's so hard sometimes playing hard to get work. I don't know how to play it. But when people do play hard to get it sounds like there's an elaborate hard to get schemes. So I mean, what was the date? Like you said, you had fun conversation, yeah, and was

rebect to actually normal when you met her. He was a normal, beautiful woman. You went out to dinner, We had a great time. The one thing that I thought was going to be railing at the restaurant. That turns out that my old high school comm street teacher was there and what did you get a bad grade? Is that why you thought it was going to derail it? No, we hooked up too awkward. I would prefer the hook up.

Maybe I did. He told her that he remembered me because I just scraped by with a d But maybe the teacher was like, but I am sensing some chemistry between the two of you. Did she laugh at that? I mean I was mortified. But we had a good laugh about it, and you know, we continued on with dinner. It was a good time and afterwards, you know, we did ended up just sort of walking around the city for a little bit and then went back to in her car and kissed for a while, made out and

it's so good, right. It's been asked if she wanted to have a nightcap, but she said no, she she wasn't wanting to do that. I know, you're suddenly moving kind of fast all of a sudden. I mean, I would really feel like it that night, and everything I got from her vibes wise told me she was too Yeah, all right, but I said I wanted to see her again, and she said, let's do lunch on Wooden Day next week.

And she even suggested a place, you know, some sandwich places. Okay, so you had a date, you had a time, you had a location lunch. Seems like a friend date to me kind of all that. I mean, they just made out like they were just done. Maybe now I think it's like I want to see you in daylight, you know. But overall, it seems like a pretty good day. And I mean I would only have two words to describe it, I think, Daniel, Man, so let's play a song. We'll come back, We'll try and get you a second day

down date. Okay, all right, that's great, all right, man, hold on willing to wait ten dates before getting intimate. What That's what my mom actually wrote on the dating profile that she secretly set up for me years ago without my knowledge. That's a true story. I could not believe it because she knows it's fifteen. Not cool, mom, she knows I'm a virgin drinkingest person. I know you are.

I do not think it's weird at all that one of our listeners, Daniel, met a girl online who had a disclaimer on her profile saying her account was run by her father. Yeah, and at least the father put that because your mom didn't even put that up. Yeah, the father was fake. Your mom is real. But no, this isn't about me. This is about our listener, Daniel. Daniel, I never asked you this in the first part. I'm curious. You said you had a lunch date set up that

never actually happened with Rebecca. Did she cancel it or did she just not show up? She just never showed up? Oh dude, she left you sitting at the restaurant yep, just sitting there by myself drinking water like a googer. That you really want to hurt their feeling or something terrible happened on the way, like, were you either get in touch with her. I haven't heard anything. I'd have no idea. What if she's okay it, Oh my god,

bad about something. I don't know. She just never showed up and it's been radio violence everything that is so weird. But let's get to the bottom of this. We're gonna call her right now. You ready, I am? Yeah? Okay, here we go. Hello, Hi, is this Rebecca? Is this rebeccaa? Hey Rebecca. My name's Jeff from the radio show Broken Jeffrey in the Morning. How are you doing I'm good. You have a weird tone to your voice, so I know what. Well, okay, he's awkward, I guess. Yeah, it

seems to be fine right there. I know. I mean I thought that one was pretty strong. I form my weird voice. But are you like at the radio? Is this the radio station calling me? Yeah? I was like a party. Yeah, it's pretty fun. We do this every morning. Yeah, it's a morning party. It's called Brooke and Jeffrey. And we're doing something called a second date update. Okay, okay.

That'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 reach out to them for you to help you figure out the reason why. It makes sense. Yeah, and so you recently went on a date with a guy who you are not calling back. His name's Daniel. Okay, hey, this is weird. Oh gosh, I mean you left him at a restaurant. I think that he feels like it's pretty weird. I didn't leave him there, I just didn't

show up. That's okay, well, semantics, Yeah, they didn't show up to the date. Is there a reason for that? I feel like, I mean, put on the stand or something. Right now, let me put yourself in his shoes like that would really suck. He had wonderful things to say about you, and he doesn't even seem angry about the no show thing, right, I mean, do you have any intention of calling him back? Um? I don't know, but

that's okay, Yeah, okay, we're just trying to figure out why. Well, I mean, I guess if I was him, I want to know the same thing, So I get it. But I don't know how much he told you about that. Did he tell you anything about how we met on the app or anything? Right? Yeah, he mentioned that you put a disclaimer on there claiming to be your father. That way, none of the weirdos would reach out to you. Just get like the pure guys had like some weird

overprotective dad that was overstepping his bounce. Okay, I'll just be real with you, guys. It is true that my dad does run my dating app. You told him it was you, and I don't have to lie any Yeah, you told him it was a lie already. We already heard that point. Please, So I wasn't the one that wrote him that back. It was my dad. No, what you let your dad impersonate you. No, no, I let my dad filter out the crazies for me. It could be it could be that you're the crazy one in

this situation. We still don't understand if your dad truly runs your account, and if he agreed he vetted Daniel for you, then really, why are you not calling him back now? So let me just put this all out there. My dad approved of Daniel for this date, hoping that Daniel maybe would have changed since back in high school when he was Daniel's chemistry teacher. Oh wait, your dad was a chemistry teacher that you guys ran into at the restaurant, So your dad was not only the guy

running the account with the dude at the restaurant. Oh, this is too much. So my dad always says he wants to meet the guy one on one. First Daniel from high school. He basically gave me his blessing to go on the date, and he just said he wouldn't be watching from afar make sure nothing crazy happened. But he just feels like Daniel didn't really change at all since high school. And it's still kind of thing based on what yeah, based on what exactly. Jeffrey I think

just the way he handled the conversation. Well, I just think my dad doesn't see him as a very ambitious guy. Okay, I get that your dad sees it that way. But you were the one that spent an entire night with Daniel. How did you feel when you were with him? I mean I thought he was a good kisser. You do make a good point. Kissing is above ambition. Yeah, in terms of relationship rankings, So give it. I don't even know if he'd want to go out with you again.

I don't know. Maybe we should just ask him, because I need to tell you, Rebecca, Daniel's been on the other line listening this higher time, very patiently, I might add, and he wants to talk to you. What. Yeah, you're serious for now the whole time. Thank you? Still there? Daniel? Are you there? Yeah? No, I I am here, and sun the disbelief. I don't know where to start. Your dad wrote me back. Your dad is the chemistry teacher a lot. Your dad was watching us make out. No,

he was not watching us make out. That's the part we're supposed to believe. Yeah, because I called a radio station with my heart, you made me feel bad and this was never my intention, and I'm sorry I didn't call you back like I really am. I think you're so nice. I just I don't know. You're such a good kister. I'm sure you heard that too, So I mean, I wish the best, but your future relationship hold on. Listen to the words that you're saying, Like it's obvious

that you feel something for Daniel. Why do you have to listen to everything that your dad says based on a grade that Daniel got years ago? Yeah, exactly. That means like we hit it off, things were good. I mean, I have a good job, I got four h one k I'm doing things well. You guys are making me feel bad. I'm just trying to do Like it's it's hard. It's it's hard to navigate on all of you hard though, Like don't follow the pay. Your dad's a chemistry teacher.

Everything is probably statistics and ratios and his whole wife. Well, and it's just like your dad will always see you as his little girl. Okay, there's you can't let him make adult decisions forward to you else you're never gonna do anything that has any risk attached. Exactly. You could end up pushing away an actually great guy, because your dad's being too stubborn about this. Okay, So I have an idea. Oh, you're gonna make him retake that chemistry

class again and get it. I've seen this movie, yo. But what if you just take a minute and like, right, I mean, you're still attached to my profile, you can still message me aka my dad. But what if you just took a minute and like wrote down how you feel and sent it and like pursued and showed my dad like you're serious about Rebecca, Rebecca, I have a better idea. What if we all tried to convince your dad together by doing an awkward Tuesday phone call. Oh wow,

that would be awesome. I don't know if I could talk to this man, Rebecca. I know you don't know what that is, but that's a segment where we will call your dad and will help Daniel talk to him and have that conversation to convince him that he's a good guy and that he's worth giving another chance. To God, there's a part of me that thinks that could be amazing, because maybe my dad just needs to be put a little bit, you know, in his place, Daniel, Daniel, are

you interested in doing that? I really I really like you, Rebecca, and I mean this is super weird, obviously, but it definitely felt like there was something really special there, So I mean, yeah, maybe okay, okay, so maybe okay. So normally i'd offer to send you guys out on another date, but we're going to put that to the side until we get Rebecca's father's approval. So tomorrow we can come back and call him in an awkward Tuesday phone call. Is that when we time travel back to nineteen fifties

when this was still normal? Yes, if we have to, all right, So Daniel, make sure you do your homework before tomorrow, not your chemistry home. It's like you're dating homework. Yeah, so this call is going to be a success. You're

gonna have a pop quiz. It's my dad if you already met and you know him, so like, it's fine, no pressure, Yeah, I will be sure to do my bet all right, man, awkward Tuesday phone call, make sure you're listening tomorrow after this time, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
