Second Date Update: Haters of Love

Alexis who absolutely hate it. Yeah. They pretend like it doesn't even exist. They think it's weird. Does it make you uncomfy? Yeah, like Jeff said, yeah, her boyfriends said I love you for the first time I valent Yeah. And one of our listeners, Kate, apparently falls into that last category. Huge fan. What better way to do our special Valentine's themed addition of a second day? Talking to Kate, welcome to show. I think, OK, hater, Kate, Why do

you hate Valentine's Day? What's your reason? Well, let's see how lame can we get as a society. But he did email us about a guy that you met recently. What's his deal? Okay? Yeah, Matt I met on instaff. Okay, okay. The reason was that he posted a meme, you know, bagging on all this stupid lame stuff about Valentine's. It was hilarious, so I commented, and then he commented back, I mean the irony of flirting on a hated valent I know, right, that's pretty sappy in its own way.

I totally own that. So then we were dming and we were like one upping each other, you know, like, oh, I sent you three hundred dollars with some roses to your work so your co workers will know how much I love you. Great. Yeah, that's a funny thing to connect on. I mean, if any of our listeners are sending their significant others flowers at work, I think that's great.

Like no judgment here, yeah exactly. And then you know he comes back with I covered the whole house in rose pedals so you could go out and scave it your hunt and find some little chicken I bought. I mean, well, when you guys are going back and forth with all the cliches, eggs exactly, so just off the cuff, I say to him, we should have planned having a super lame Valentine's Date together, just like do it up with all the kitcheness and all that. It would be hilarious.

He's like, yeah, oh yeah, that's great. Yeah, let's do it. Okay, you're celebrating it now. Yeah, but ironically, no, we are totally dissing. It's it's an interesting strategy to be like, you know that thing that we both hate, let's do that. I can imagine the server confuser like, I'll take your nicest glass of wine. I guess it's funny. I believe a little inside joke going for the whole day. So what what did you end up doing? Okay, so we go to Red Lobster. Come on, now, are Red Lobsters

where it's at? Do they do heart shaped cheddar biscuits? On V Day? We drink strawberry jakri. He brought artificial rose petals to put on the table. Great to put on the table at Red Lobster? Yeah he did. He toasted. Yeah. Yeah, it was really obvious though the people around us, We're getting the dagger stairs, you know, like, what are you people? This is a sacred Valentine all the people on serious Valentine's Day day? Yeah, you're literally just making fun of

them right next to them. So anyway, you know, we really connected over stupid Valentine states, and then we had a couple of communications back and forth after that. Well, hold on, hold on, let's go back to the day, Like, how did you leave Red Lobster? Oh, just like we laughed and we said it was great and we hugged and and you didn't pay the bill, or like what happened so when you picked you up and carried you across the threshold? No, no, I meant, did you take

the Bibbs home with you? Yeah? I'm just joking, but you met. I mean you obviously left on a good note with him. We totally did, Yeah, we did. So we had a couple of messages back and forth after Yeah, now they've totally everything's dried up. Do you think get backfired? And like you actually turned him into a Valentine's date lover Brook, I'm not getting that. It sounds more like to me, you turned it into like a friendship. I don't know, because you guys were just joking around the

whole time, never took any piece of it seriously. And therefore, like, how could you ever be vulnerable and open yourself up. Yeah, I hadn't thought of that, you guys, I hadn't. Did you both like suck on different ends of like a clam lingueenie and meet in the middle. I would tramp that. We can't believe we forgot to lay in a tramp move next, you see, That's why, that's why you need to redo. I mean, so, looking back on it, is there anything that you regret from the date? Anything that

maybe went wrong in your mind? No, not that I know, not from where I was sitting. Well, maybe he fell in love with somebody else or something else, like the Cheddar biscuits with them, I'd have a hot affair with a Cheddar biscuits too. He did ask for more? Yow, could you not? All right? Well, we're gonna play a song here, Kate, and then we'll come back. We'll call Matt for you, and we'll try and get you your second date update your special Valentine's Day second day up day. Sorry,

too cheesy for you, We're gonna do it next. We're in the middle of a special Valentine's Day edition of a Second Date, where ironically, Kate and her guy Matt spent the entire time mocking the holiday that they were out celebrated together because they both think that all the Valentine's traditions are a little bit cheesy. Yeah, so they went to a red lobster. They covered the table in fake rose petals, They exchanged romantic, snappy cards and had

a lot of fun. But afterwards things have cooled off and Kate doesn't really know why. Yeah. Now, Kate, for as much as you hate the holiday, you do seem to genuinely like the guy. I will say that I do. Yeah. I mean, you guys are definitely putting out the same energy into the world and can be silly together. It sounds like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we had a lot of fun. Okay, I mean, Kate, the Holiday love the Guy sounds like

the next Kate Hudson film. I'm pretty sure it's already made. Yeah, so you should definitely put this down on paper somewhere, Kate, because you can make a lot of money if this goes. But first, we're going to try and connect you with Matt and hopefully we can get you guys to go out again. Are you ready? Yes? All right, Here we go to dial his number. We'll see what he has to say. Hello, Hey, is this Matt. Yeah, this is Matt.

Matt Happy Valentine. Okay, yeah, okay, I think he was talking for more of a singing telegram type of thing. He doesn't like this, I know. I'm joking. Sorry, man, We're I'm calling from a radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and uh, we're doing something called a second date update. We'd like you to be a part of it, all right, Yeah, I guess sound like yeah, okay, I can tell that you're big into love Matt voice.

But no, we're calling because one of our listeners went out with you recently and she had a really great time. Her name's Kate. Okay, you remember Kate. You guys bonded over your hatred for the holiday for Valentine's Day? Yeah, I remember Kate. Okay, Okay, what do you think about it? Yeah, hard to read you, Matt. Yeah, well, it was definitely an interesting date, I guess for you. Both kind of had different expectations, Like we met online and kind of

bonded over how stupid we thought Valentine's Day was. But right that. We actually spoke to Kay earlier about this and she mentioned that's what you guys bonded over and you went out to dinner together and did all these funny Valentine's Day traditions to kind of mock it, right. Yeah, she honestly, like when we were talking to her, couldn't stop laughing at how you know, ridiculous it was, and also how much fun she had doing it with you. Yeah,

it was a lot of fun. And like, yeah, we wrote these silly cards to each other and I put fake rose petals all over the table and stuff. But at the end of the day, I thought I was still going on an actual date with a girl. But what had happened is it really turned into the whole thing was just like bashing everything. And we were drinking strawberry dacries and I kind of lost track of how many she had, and it just kind of became obnoxious,

and oh so she was like und lobsters. What I don't saying, isn't that the point wasn't the whole idea that you were going to take it over the top and be ridiculous about it. It was for sure for Valentine's Day, but like we didn't really get to know each other at all. It just turned into a full on rag session. And right, like, the joke went on too long is kind of what it feels like, and so it lost its fun. Did it ever stop the joke?

Like even at the end end end of the date, did she ever say like, let's get together again or anything? Or no? But she did pop a certain question what are you talking? What do you mean? There was at one point where she was kind of being belligerent, I guess, and she eventually got down on one knee and asked me to marry her in the middle of the restaurant. Yep, no, I mean that's still funny, but that is like the extreme. So wait, Matt, you didn't say yes? I did? I did?

I actually did say yes. Soho did you not hear that story? What were people around you doing? Everyone knew what our gig was. I think like, oh, like we were kind of making a scene, Like I don't think anyone took what we were doing serious. But he did say, people were staring at you guys with daggers, like, well, it is kind of like you're there making fun of them, so ian and then you totally stole some guys thunder who was actually ready to propose. He was like, and

now I can't wait. Though, you thought that was funny, right, like you were laughing and going along with a joke. You said, yes, yeah, like I said, this was partly my idea, and I did find it very funny. But at the same time, there was other people there, like actually celebrating Valentine's Day, And there was one couple in particular.

Is this like senior couple there who you could tell it had probably been together almost their whole lives and it would just like they probably go every Valentine's the red Lobster bro But I don't get it. Why did that turn you off from Kate? Well, like I said, like I got the joke of it, but I also at the same time was going on a date to get to know somebody. But it seemed like Kate more of just hate's love or had no interest of looking for a relationship or anything like that. We were just

there to make this big prank entertain each other. Like you you saw the old couple holding hands, You're like, oh, I want to do that, and she's like, how do you know for sure that she doesn't want love and doesn't want a relationship unless you ask her directly? Yeah, I guess I don't know. Well, now's your moment to do it, because I need to tell you, man that Kate's actually on the line listening right now. I'm serious, my friend. Oh my goodness, Kate, you there, Kate, talk

to your husband. I'm just so taken, aback. I guess now, Oh wow, I totally thought that we just were on the same page all night. And you know, FYI, I don't hate love, I don't you know. Oh, I just laugh at it. We just got off on such a great start to goof on Valentine today, so I just figured you're in for something. You're gonna go all the way. And Mike, when I got down on my knee and asked, you're Mary, you were great because you were like, oh,

this is so stunned. I mean, please, don't make a judgment on me that I'm this horrible person who doesn't want to take time to know somebody, just because like we planned this as a goof and I just like thought you were enjoying it as much as I did. And I'm really sorry. I feel badly now. Well, first of all, nice to talk to you again, I guess, but but yeah, like I didn't think you were very

fun and stuff like that. But at the same time, like I said, like I tried to move the conversations a few times to ask about like your interests and things like that, and it was just you didn't really seem like you were interested in talking about that at all. Huh. Yeah, you know that's interesting because, like I think I just was so caught up in it, and um I apologized for that, but it's just interesting how you see things

from your side of the table. Right. Oh, I'm kind of glad you guys aren't into love because it's got boring. You're too serious. I kind of get it. It's kind of cute though. At least you're you know, at least you're communicating. I mean, yeah, Now, are you feeling differently right now, Matt about her than you were at the end of the night. Oh, I will say, it's nice to finally talk about it. And we've talked more on the radio now about different things besides making fun of

Valentine's Day than we did on the excellent day. I just kind of shot this is more. This is the first time they've actually learned each other's name. Ye, that's amazing. What was it? But I meant man, I know you're kind of hoping to get a mushy gushy date. It sounds like, and we can make that mushy gush happen for you, do not. I think it's illegal. I think that's illegal. You know what I mean? We can send you on a normal, non ironic date, a real one, and we'd pay for it. Hmm okay, okay, yes, I

don't know. Maybe he's waiting for Yeah, I mean yeah, I think you need to make your your plea here. Yeah. Yeah, I would really love that. I would like to go out on a date and do get to know each other. I don't know. Match Kim a little strong with the L word. She sounds like a clinger to me. I'm just I'm Jeff, Matt. What are you say? Man? You know we got along pretty well and I definitely am, like I said this whole time, interested in getting to

no Kate more so. Yeah? Sure, sure a successful second date update for Valentine's Day? What do you know? Oh my god, you guys are like now like mister and missus Cupid. I mean, there's no way around here. Wow, look at love isn't dead after all. Now the two of you can go Bash, Saint Patrick's date Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
