Second Date Update: It Takes A Village

for a new handbag. True to life. But one of our listeners, Josh, has emailed the show after he saw a woman's profile pick online and it sucked him in instantly. Really now he wants our help. Josh, Welcome to the show, going guys, dude, I'm so curious about the pick you saw. What was it? I mean, what about it sucked you in? Okay? Well, her name is Erica and she was volunteering for Habit for Humanities. Oh what are you doing on here? Roon

new in our faith in men right now? Is it that you're attracted to the fact that she does charity work? Are you just like the fact that she was in like a hard hat and with like work gloves on, like you like a girl that's good with her hands can build a house, because that's my fantasy for sure. All the above, it is cool that she was doing something. It's good for other people. But also, I mean, I don't want to say I want to front like. She looked really good too, show me your callous's girl is

like girl dressing up like Bob the Builder. Yeah, so you reached out to Erica. How did that go? I went good. We talked for a bit and eventually decided that we would get together. We went out for some coffee. Okay, so you keeping it casual and what was it like that first time you saw her in person? It didn't disappoint I mean, she was just as beautiful as she was in the profile picture. I don't know why I picture her showing up to coffee and like a flagger

vag Josh just had it in his backpack. He's like, hey, girl, put on these gloves. That's awesome. Did she seem excited to see you two? Like? Not disappointed that I couldn't read into her hat oryth like that, But she seemed fine, Okay, good? She didn't gag. Yeah, no, I didn't know so much. We only were there for twenty minutes, but it didn't end there, so maybe that's a good time. Oh that is a good sign. Okay, coffee was the first stop.

What was next? Yeah, we just well, we're really close to the park, so we ended up deciding to just walk around and continue talking. Okay, As of now, this day sounds great because if yeah, I like you already, she would definitely not have hung out with you after the coffee. I'm going to ask you the same question that I asked my grandpa, How did walking go? Well? But him hurt? You know, I'm bad back, I'm no. We we chatted and it was just really good conversation.

Would you connect over um just life? I mean, like, you know, she's going to school, wanting to do more of yourself. I wanted to do more for myself as well. And then I found out that she's into traveling and that's kind of one of the reasons she signed out for the Habitat of Humanities. Okay, and you sound like a guy who is a really good listener, Like you'd be someone that asked insightful questions like I think that's

all positive? Was there any moments though that stand out as being kind of weird or kind of awkward to you. Just one um. So, I like, we were walking and I guess I wanted to impress her. So we were passing by the bank a bank a bank okay, and there was a guy handling our balloons. So I don't know why I thought this would impress her, and I

thought it be funny. But I picked up one of the balloons, I gave her one, I took one, and then I proceeded to like shuck up some of the helium and sang her a little bit of Prince's little red Corvette with helium. And you don't think it's funny, Like, no, you like, I literally didn't even laugh at all. No, I don't know that. Maybe it's funnier with a helium voice because it sounds a little bit more like Prince. Yeah, I mean, what was her reaction when you started serenading her?

She kind of looked at me a little awkwardly, like I think she might have been a little embarrassed. I was like, is this a nineteen seventies? But I kept going. I committed to it on a percent, and then she gave me she gave me a little bit of a laugh. Okay, okay, so you kept going until she's like, sound, I could see how maybe maybe that would be a little bit uncomfortable. Killed her father. Yeah, I'm waiting to accident. Everybody's made a bad joke on a date, yea, all the time.

So how did the date end? Well? I took it to her car and oh god, so maybe maybe there was two So I something do a little bit more helium and just said goodbye one more time. Yeah, that's the helium that was his closer. It's not hot the second time, totally. Okay. So so what's happened since then? Have you been staying in contact with her or oh? Yeah, no, so we've still been in touch with each other by a text? Okay, yeah, I don't know. It just maybe she's not feeling me the same way as she was

before by how we're talking to each other. Yeah, and I'll say, you didn't leave her a good note, right, Like that's how you remember somebody exactly how you love the deal and like instead of remembering you as this like masculine awesome dude, it's like a fourteen year old with bad jokes, you know. Yeah, well, we're gonna find out, we're gonna play a song, we'll come back, we'll call Erica for you, and we'll try and get you a

second date. Update right after our listeners aren't feeling second We all dread it, the first date joke that doesn't land. You want to share these oysters, because if not, that would be mighty shellfish. Check please check, please like it. I don't know what's wrong. Shirt popped off when I said,

it's honestly why I married my husband. That's exactly what happened to one of our listeners, Josh, because he tried to get his date Erica to laugh when they were going on a walk around town by sucking the helium out of a balloon and serenading her on the street

to the Prince song Little Red Corvett. It was a risk, it was It was a risk, and didn't get quite the reaction that Josh was hoping to get humor, which is why Josh tried it a second time, sucking impedily and before he said goodbye to her and she drove away, like Josh. As a professional comedian, all right, you never see a comic have a bad joke and then go hold on, guys, let me do it again on bro. I think that's your big problem, and you kept trying.

Probably probably Okay, you know though, Josh, you sound awesome. I think we got a shot. Yeah you want? You want Josh's phone number for after we're done with this. I like my husband, Okay. Yeah, Well it's true. We all are a fan of you, Josh, and we're going to try our best to get you a second Maybe not all Alexis is waiting. I'm deciding she's waiting to get a last's rich yet in the first half. I'm trying to get abe. But the rest of us are going to try really hard to get you a dating listen.

But are you feeling ready? Man? I guess so, yeah, here we go. I'm gonna dial Erica's a number. Let's do this. Hello. Hey is this Erica? Yes? This hey Erica. My name is jeff from the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. How are you doing? Um? I'm well, how how are you? Guys? So I win something? Maybe we're doing pretty good. We're we're calling on behalf of one of our listeners who's been trying to get a hold of you. His name's Josh. Okay, do you know

who who Jeffrey's talking about? I went on an awkward date with a guy named John oh an awkward? Why Why do you say it was awkward? Maybe it's a different Josh. Yeah, are we talking about the same Josh who you went to coffee with and you took a walk around the park? Yep? That was the awkward date? Okay? Which which part of it was awkward to you? Because what we're doing here is something called a second date update. We're trying to help Josh figure out if there was

something about your day together that didn't go well. Oh my god, okay, Oh, it sounds like you were ready to like dish. Um. I guess so. I thought it was going really well for a while and then um he brought up my profile picture which I'm in construction where like got the vestne and like a hammer in my hand because I was working for a Habitat for

Humanity for a while. We heard that, by the way. Yeah, but so he brought it up at coffee and I was like asking me about the outfit and it's like, oh, you know, like they have it's like protocol, that's what you wear when you're like yeah, and then he like brought it up again while we were walking and he was like, do you dress up in any other outfit? Like performed? Like what do you mean? What is he

talking about? Was there just like maybe an awkward time in the conversation and he was that's what you go, That's what I'm saying, Like maybe he was just missing miss speaking. He asked me, if I have dressed up like a police officer, why would you dress up like I don't think there's habitat for police officers? Yeah, exactly. I thought it was kind of a weird one to ask. Did he drop it after you told him? No? Um? No? He asked me again, that's why what did you say?

Did you say? Did do you want there to be other uniforms? Is that what you're trying to do here? I was kind of just confused by it, and I thought he was just joking. So I was trying to go with it, you know, right, Okay, I could see that. I mean, yeah, yeah, if I've ever addressed up like I was in the army, Okay, all like really, okay, I think have you again? Okay, But here's what. So I was driving home and I was thinking about it.

I turned on the radio and we all know the tongue why MCA, And then I was like, oh my god, like I started being about the village people. Yeah, that's what he asked. Is there's the construction worker, the cop and the guy from the army. You don't have to tell me. I have to post on my wall. But so what do you think was behind that? Like do you think he wanted you to dress like the village people? Maybe? I just thought it was kind of weird. I was like, maybe he has a weird settish. I don't know why

you then, I mean that was the case. There should be like a school girl or like something like that. But these are all very like well working, very outfit. Do you have an oil drill? But honestly, like maybe he maybe he was just being awkward, like it's a first day, and maybe he was trying to make a joke and he never got to the punchline because he just felt the awkwardness happening in I couldn't see that

for him. Yeah, I would love to know it's a punchline. Well, we have the perfect way to find out, because actually Josh is on the other line listening and wanting to talk to you right now. Oh Josh, Hello, awkward helium Josh. I was hoping he was just going to bust out to in the navy. Well, no, it wasn't going like I thought, so i'd the punchline didn't come out. Oh wait,

so Brooke is right. So yeah. So I mean, after the helium jokes fell flat on me, M came to my head and I was like, oh, if I name all these other things, maybe she will find it hilarious. She got it, but but instead she just never got the joke. As a person with missus jokes a lot, it's never funny. Is your entire sense of humor based around seventies male musicians? Were you dying when you heard her say that she thought you had a village people? I mean, you're on the other line listening to say

it was a little traumatic, Josh. Josh, don't be embarrassed about your attraction to the village people. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. There are a sexy group of men. Okay, they are very good singers, they know how to dance. There's a repet I'm slowly here we go along. You are so But the good thing is I will say, you sound embarrassed, which means you obviously realize now that it wasn't a good joke, and at least we know it wasn't joke. Yes, I mean, so now you're hearing

Erica the story behind this weird conversation is it? Is it making you feel a little bit better about Josh, like you should talk to him about it? Yeah, I mean I guess like he should have finished the joke. It was just like weird or though, I mean, face was your face was so like not into it that I guess the third time was the charm and I went, Okay,

this is not going anywhere. Yeah, I mean, you did call me on a radio show, so I don't know if they helped you out with that joke, like it might be a good way to hide your weird fetish. I wouldn't have suggested that you'd be like an army outfit or anything like. No, no, not at all. Look, I thought you were very beautiful in your construction outfit, but that's not what got me into sit. That was just a bonus. Like, I don't meet quality people like

you on dating sites very often. Yeah, he only meets them at the village people concerts. It's amazing. I realized it's too much to leave total anymore. Podcast. There might be a chance for you to actually hear the end of whatever joke he was trying to tell you. Erica, you think that's the cell? No, definitely, whatever. We just want you to go out with Josh one more time and we'll pay with it. What do you say. Let me hear you say, yes, I want to Yes, yes,

go straight to your heart. We will send you a new gift car. Come on, that's pretty good. That's the Eric answer. Eric. Yes, okay, I yes, but only if you finish your punch. I love it. That's the deal. Okay, Jo, that's so cute. Congratulations you guys. Looks like you're gonna be going out one more time. Awesome. I appreciate it, guys. I'm just happy we got a young man broke and Jeffrey in the morning. No, you did it, you know,

yeah I did. But listening back to that, I wonder if that guy now really did just piggyback on what we were saying and go like, oh yeah, no, no, I was totally it was just a joke. There was no evidence that he didn't dressing up like a construction worker or army person. I mean that's pretty safe. Yeah, one of the guy asked that to a girl, right because like what I mean, what if he like really was into village people fetish, Like, would anybody have a

problem with that? I I mean, as long as it wasn't that we had to listen to the music here looking for an invitation. I mean, this is more than two people in the village people. So yeah, I'm happy that we were able to send them out on another date. Okay, Yeah, to turn this one up for him. Okay, so listen. Yeah, let's let's boost this song just for you, Josh, good one on your date. He's getting excitedly turned it down, and turn it down, turn it down. Yeah, we don't

want to just get too excited. I remember, if you ever want to get a second date update, you can always email the show. We'll call the person who wasn't calling you back.
