Second date. Dating. Dating is a lot like riding a bike. First, you do it with dad's help. Whys right behind you making sure that you don't get hurt because it's scary the first few times. Why is your dad there while mom's holding the camera shouting positive things, don't close your eyes, stop crying. You have a really close family. But then eventually dad let's go, and suddenly look at that you're doing it all by yourself. Why is mom still there
with a video camera? I asked her to be there, But I bring about a far up because one of our listeners, Dennis, emailed the show, and Dennis It says, this was your first date that you've gone on in quite a while, Like, were you in a relationship before that? Yeah? I was in a long term relationship for a little while. Okay, I've been single for two years now, What you've been single for two years but you just haven't dated. Yeah. I kind of came up one dating for a while.
I mean I was just down on myself, you know, I just had some self esteem issues, some things I needed to work on, and it kind of got into a pity party sort of thing for a little while, and I had to come back out of it. So I love that you did you, Dennis, and it looks like it turned out pretty good because you're you're back up on the top. I love hearing those type of stories we all do. Yeah, I got into a gym, got back in the racquetball, I'm I'm rock climbing now,
and I'm even on an adult kickball team. Fun. We don't need a second date update with him. We're going to do self help with Dennis. I mean, this is great. Who needs women? Just play racketball until you got to climb? Well, I mean that's great that you came out the other end, and it sounds like you're in a better place. So you ended up meeting somebody met lady named Stephanie. Okay, okay, you'll real smart and a great sense of humor. Uh we hooked up after work. Oh you sound confident, But
I did and realized. When I say hooked up, I just mean we got together. I told you guys, I haven't been dating for a while. I don't know what all the lingo is. Okay, okay, hooking up. Just so you know, Dennis tends to be like you get intimate, like romantic, yet something that's too many women. I want to like, you're you haven't done this in two years? How are you feeling? Like? What's going through your head when you're going to meet her? Very excited, extremely excited,
a little a little, a little anxious. Yes, So what did you and Stephanie end up doing for your date? We ended up doing what I like to do and I wanted to share with her, which is a passion of mine. It's rock clock. That's a sexy date. I like it. I like it. Which had she ever climbed before? Was it brand new to her? No, she'd never done it before, but she was really open minded to the idea when you totally turn on. Yeah, you hooked up
with her with the cables, the cable showing the ropes? Baby? Yeah? Did she seem like she was having fun? She was. She was totally into it. I was totally into her. And even during the thing, some of my friends from class came over. They were really cool. So it actually made me look good. Baby, looks like I had some sort of popularity there. Like, yeah, I think it's such a smart thing too, Like it's a way to bond together. She's trying set the new A lot of adrenaline is
going on when you're climbing, like it's awesome. Yeah. So is rock climbing the only thing that you did for the day or was there more? Yeah? We went to a bar afterwards, had a few drinks. I'm a tequila guy, so I had a couple of pops. You know what, a couple of what shots? A couple of pops pops. Yeah, it's old school lingo, you know, pops like soda pop, like a chan of pop, that sort of thing. Oh, to have some soda with tequila, Yeah, exactly. Okay, Wow,
got it, figured it out. I was thinking Coca cola. Yeah, I'm all over. They got it. Tequila soda. Okay, we learned dating right now, you can say that, yes, all right? Yeah, I just have to have a good time with her. It was really a great enjoying her company. She's a great conversationalist, captivating, almost to the point of just other people were walking by and looking at the two of us like, wow, those people must really like each other. That's sweets. I mean, she's not calling you back, so
there must be something going on. Did you get a chance to really learn about her, because it sounds like this was a lot about your interest, your activities. It was she did a lot of talking, but mostly was about her work and her job. I mean she said, okay, do you have like a high pressure job? Okay? And did you hook up in the modern um if you mean, did we do anything that somebody would be saying we should have done on the first date or anything like that. No,
we did not. Nobody on this show would say shows a nice little goodbye, just a hug, a little peck and the cheek. Nothing, nothing out of the ordinary. Well overall, it sounds like it's a pretty solid date. How long has it been since you last talked to her? It's been a couple of months? What months? Months? Been a couple of months? Have you dated sense? Or you did the one day? After two years and we've done nothing to playing the really slogan, I've gone I've gone out
a couple of times with other people. It hasn't felt the same, Okay, Okay, it was fun still, I mean I had fun. We didn't do the rock climbing thing. We pretty much just did a couple of times, little bark. We focus on them. Let's focus on seventy and we're gonna play a song. We'll come back. We'll call and see if she remembers you, because two months in the modern dating world, for like ever, she could be married. It's possible. We're gonna come back. We'll call her and
try and get your second date update. All right, sounds great? All right, hold on it, Dennis. I know you been telling us that you just got back into the dating scene and you didn't know what you were doing. Yeah, but I'm guessing that Stephanie thought you were a player, you know, just running into the rock climbing place with your extra large harness on, acting like a boss fist, bumping all your friends, talking about your new clubs and activities.
I bet she thought you were some type of smooth talker. It gets around town. Away, there's nought. I would like you to prove right now that you're not pretend that Brook is single and you just saw her out on the street. Give us your best pickup line to get her interested. Go ahead, Dennis, Hey Brooke, Yeah, what's you doing doing radio? My job right now? Dennis? What are you doing? Why don't you come on over here and
sit on Daddy's lest you're proving me right? Really? Your first quickly, I thought if you was a different person. I haven't that you went out with Stephanie two months ago, and now we're gonna be reaching back out to her again. I'm not sure if she's even gonna remember going out with you, dude. Maybe the rock climbing party she'll remember. Yeah, I think she'll remember. I think she'll remember. I mean, have you tried calling or texting in that period in between? Ye?

She's gonna tell you where to say. Dial Stephanie's number, and let's see what she hasked to say. All right, all right, sounds good. Here we go. Hello. Hey, is it Stephanie? Yeah, Hey Stephanie. My name is jeff from the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. How are you doing today? Really? Yeah?
I'm good. Hi Stephanie. Yeah, the whole show's here, Brook, Jose alexis Hi. Hi. Cool. It sounds like you listen. That's awesome. Yeah, I've told the show before, but it's been a little bit well, you can always catch up on our podcast available anywhere you get your podcast, Spotify, Apples, and I'll call you periodically. You listen to whatever you want to listen to, Stephanie. But we're calling you today because we're trying to get a second date update for
one of our listeners. Uh. Okay. It's a guy that you went out with a little while ago. His name's Dennis. Do you remember a couple months back. Yeah, yeah, that's quite a while ago. That's the reaction, remember, Yeah, that's the reaction we had when he told us how long it had been. Yeah, it's been it's been a while, so I have to I have to think for a minute. Well, it's a good sign that he's reaching out to you. I know it's a little bit late, but yeah, he told us about your date and said he had a
really good time with you. And afterwards he said he tried texting and calling you, but he hasn't gotten any response. Oh um, have you been seeing those Yeah, you know, he was a really nice guy. I just I feel like he was just looking for something else that I oh, yeah, can you explain, Well, I mean I just have different expectations at this point in my life and he just
seemed we just seemed to be out of alignment. I guess. Okay, Well, I mean he told us a little bit about your date that you guys went rock climbing and went to a bar and got to talking a lot about your lives. Has something come up? Yeah, I mean things were great. We were reviving and made a couple of beers, and he kind of get to see you more a little bit of like yourself. Yeah, and he threw in a line where he said something like he was just kind
of looking for a hook up buddy. What oh yeah, wow. Yeah, he didn't say anything like that to us. He sounded like to us that he was looking for a long term relationship. I mean, we talked to him about how he had spent two years single working on himself and that he was finally ready to see what was out there because he felt like he had something to offer someone. No, no,
that's nothing I got. He said he was happy that he had a friends with benefits now friends friends with benefits that yeah, oh no, you can't really just say that, like as in, you are his friend with benefits even though you hadn't given him any benefits yet. Yeah, right, like I had been assigned the title all of a sudden friends, and that's not how that works, Like friends of benefits somebody you already know, and then you're like, Okay, maybe on the side will hook up because I in
a dry spell. Yeah, I think that's why he was insinuating. He wanted the things to be that way, and I'm not anyone's side. Chief didn't call him back with ye at least he was honest with you. There's some sort of miscommunication here. Either Dennis isn't telling the truth or she misheard something. So let's just get Dennis on the phone right now, because Stephanie, I need to tell you
he's been there the entire time listening Stephanie. Stephanie, Oh wow, okay, that's are you says, Oh my goodness, I have such an apology to make to you. Is good. You heard what I said, but that's not at all what I've merried. Oh I said to you friends with benefit. I meant the fact that you have a great job and you
have medical benefits. Really shut up. The last girl I was with, part of the reason why we ended up glass at the Ways is because she didn't have any and she only wanted to be with me because she thought I could get her benefit so much. You're telling me that you didn't know what friends with benefits meant. I'm talking about benefits a movie like, I don't know nothing about that stuff. Okay, are you understanding what it means? Like now now I understand why she felt the way
she felt. Also told that you just wanted to hook up. You what you said, hook up buddy or something like that, Right, Stephanie, isn't that what he said? He said he wanted friends with benefits? And I guess I assumed he meant a hook up buddy. That's what it is. Yeah, right, buddy with dental h Well, I mean it sounds like you guys just didn't understand what each other were saying, and you're actually looking for the same thing, dude, And he messed up on a bunch of phrases with us before
she even got him a fall. It's true, like Stephanie, he did. He told us that he hooked up with you when you guys first met, Yeah, when you just linked up. Yeah, I've been saying the wrong thing the whole time. But you guys can tell I don't know what I'm talking about I mean, Dennis, are you like a arphe like brook, don't ask that. No, I've just I've just been out of the loop. I don't have a lot of young people around me. And what do you want me to do? Watch MTV and then nobody
watching even watching what I know? Get a TikTok account. Okay, I mean what, Yeah, I gotta watch. I mean, I'm gonna watch. You can hear Dennis. He sounds like a pretty nice, genuine guy. He needs a little bit of updating in terms of dating terminology. But we'd like to send you out on another date and maybe you can help teach him some of those things and we'll pay for the date. No, it sounds like fun. Will you stefinitely? Will you go with me? It's a misunderstanding. We'll go out.
It'll be great. Oh wow, that's good. So see now I have a true friend with benefit no medical Just make sure you go to the Urban Dictionary before you go on this day. Pay Dennis. Look up Mexican and Jeffrey in the morning. I feel kind of happy for Dennis. You know, he's a he's a likable guy, kind of stuck in a time warp and apparently he hasn't watched TV or listen to radio or watch the news in thirty years. Yeah, participated in society even because he doesn't
know anything, would know what friends with benefits. But isn't that kind of a good thing, Like you get the chance to be with a guy who's basically a baby. That sounds terrible. He's pure, he's untouched, unworn. Yeah. Now I'm just saying like he's he's not scarred and is not jaded by the dating. He's not gonna play games on you exactly. You don't know how literally, Yeah, accidentally, I guess yet. Or he's just gonna claim dumb every
time he gets caught doing something wrong. It's hard to argue you again, jaded, Yeah, you're you're one of the jaded ones. You don't believe them. You don't want a baby man. I want a man man, not a baby man. Yeah, you want one that's been with thousands and thousands. He's got paperwork that checks out things are still good. But text into seven eight to five nine two tell us if you think these two are gonna make it, that's
a good sound coming from us. Yeah, I remember, if you ever want to get a second date up, that you can always email our show. We can call the person who wasn't calling you back
