Speaker 1

Second, d D think for a second. What do you think it's the farthest you've ever traveled to go out on a first date? Oh? Wow, first date? I don't know. First one time I went all the way down to the lobby of my fifth floor apartment. That the farthest you've got. Yeah, we have a vending machine, a water fountain down there, cheap couch. I mean, what more do you need to have a great date? That's true, A

simple man, that's right. But one of our listeners says he actually boarded a plane in order to take a woman out on their first night, and now he needs our help. So his name's Kirk. Kirk, what's your credit card number? Or no, sorry, that's not what you ask Kirk? How are you? What's the person's name that she that you went to go see? The girl's name is Jillian Jillian Wait. I have a question, can we just know

run off the bat. Are you boarding the plane because you're going to see her somewhere or are you both getting on the plane together. No, had boarded a plane to go see her, okay far away. I've all listened on this twice with like listeners and fans from other parts and I've never been able to pull the trigger. It's just too scary. You're gonna go to England. Imagine if it doesn't go well first day, Now I have a week in England or wherever. Oh that sounds terrible,

God by yourself, by yourself. It would just be awful flying without a chaperone on the plane. It's about the Kirk. Tell us more about Jillian. How do you guys mean? Well, it was the typical online left site thing, and I was talking to her for like a month or so, and it was weird because I started catching feelings for her like super quick. Yeah, why do you think? Like?

What about her? So? I was in a relationship for eight years prior, and it was kind of like maybe a bounce back thing for me, But it was a little bit more than that, you know, I really really started to love her. Yeah you can read you can rebound in your own zip code. Yeah, and you can do it like right after the breakup. Youn't got to wait eight years? Ye? Did I hear you say you started to love her? What? I was beginning to fall in love with her for sure, without even having met

her yet. I've heard that happened a lot though. I mean, like, how often are you guys talking? Oh? We were talking like every night before we go to bed. Oh you remember, so excited to talk to each other. The chemistry, the chemistry was amazing. But the thing is that I've never video chatted her, so it was all just talking. You maybe a catfish. I don't want to say that, bro, but yeah, it's definitely a red flag. It like when you actually flew out to see her. No, man, I

undertell you I probably should a video chatted her. Oh no, bro, why because you needed to reveal something or what? No? No, no, no, it was just that she told me the week before I went out there that she was going to be at a hotel speaking for her job or something like that, and I thought it would be a cool idea for me to just jump on a flight. And she was that I would just meet up with her. Oh wait,

as like a surprise. Yeah. I was just surprised her, you know, because we've been talking and I thought it was something in my heart told me I could do this, you know. So wow. Okay, if you guys are that bonded, bro, and do you feel that I exclusive and you guys know everything I mean, there's so much risk there, like, yeah, I've never been to this woman's hometown. She doesn't know you're coming. Like, so, but you actually flew out and

you saw her. What was that Like? I flew out there, I went to the hotel, I blended in with the crowd, and I you know, I've never seen it before. I start, I know if she looked like you didn't even have to blend in. She has no idea what you guys look like? You guys video and like, what are you doing just in the crowd, asking like, hey, do you know who Julian is? No, I was just gonna be like waiting for them to announce her. Oh she's gonna go up on stage and do a talk and stage Julian,

I love you. That would have been so cute, right, Maybe those thoughts all right through my mind. I played it cool. I played it cool. And the thing is this, when and I heard her voice, I knew it was her. And going back to what you said earlier, she wasn't who she said she was. She didn't look anything like her. Oh like maybe she was using a different person in her pictures, like that much difference. Yeah, this photoshop and

it's like, oh, you know, but full blown catfish. So now you've taken a flight to go see this woman, You're in a completely different town. What do you do? Do you stick around? Man? Of course I stick around. Man. I had so many feelings. I was angry, I was lied to. Yeah, so I had to speak to her. It was like, no way I was gonna leave without talking to her. And I saw her and I just said, um, surprised. She recognize your voice? Run away? Recognize my voice right away?

She turned around and it was so awkward because she started crying. Oh sweetie. So now I'm like from anger to like feeling bad. Yeah. I mean she's doing it because she's like self conscious, right, I mean, why else would you pretend to look like somebody else? She prettier? Was she just like a way prettier? Were you like holding some onions right up to her face? It's not usually because you're a victorious secret model in the sky. After she started crying and I was like, man, let's talk.

So I went to the car and we started talking. Told her how I felt, and I said, do you want give me a call later after night and we'll have some drinks or something. At the hotel. Okay, so you guys ended on a good note then that's good. Yeah, we lived on a good note, just like the thing connection we had when we were talking to the beginning. It kind of like fiddled in again. That's how you know it's real, bro. Yeah, and then we talked a few times when I got home. But she really doesn't

know how I feel right now, you know. Like I said, I can still want to talk to her, so she doesn't know that, Okay, okay, and so now we're gonna call her and let her know how you feel. That's perfect. Do you want to see her? And uh, maybe you know if we do see so you can fly out to see me this time. Okay. We don't have any plane tickets in the radio station's budget though, that's going to come from you bus though we could bust her. Oh rayhound, so cute. I'm I'm so excited. Yeah, wanted

to see you guys, falling a baby. We'll play a song. I'll go talk to the radio station accountant to make sure that we can finance this thing. But then we'll call Jillian for you and try and get your second date up date. Okay, Oh perfect? Man? All right. Hold on second catfished. You know a woman who lives a full plane ride away. He shows up to surprise her and discovers she looks nothing like her profile picks, but he's still DTF. I L what's what's the I L

down to full all in love. Welcome to the life of our listener, Kirk, who's asking us to call Jillian today? I know that I'm so excited for Kirk. I'm just so excited about this. I think Jillian's going to be over the moon when we call her. Okay, no pressure, now, good work. But according to your email, Kirk, the reason that you want to do this second date is because with the whole long distance thing happening, you only talked a couple of times since you've been back from that

trip over the last two weeks. Like, is that worrying you? Kind of because we used to talk every day. So if you haven't told her that you are okay with like her not being the person she said she was originally, you know, she probably just thinks that you're still mad at her. She may be still embarrassed, you know. Yeah, you know, it took me a little bit time to process everything, so I gee, when you're coming from dude,

that's valid. That's valid. And maybe there's a chance that she's not dt F I L she's just DTF would that be? Okay? Down the fall way? What are you talking about? Actually, I don't know what I'm talking about, but either way, I know we're all rooting for you. Here, I'm a dal Jillian's number right now, right, all right, let's get hello. Hi. Is this Jillian speaking? Hey Jillian, my name is jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Do you have Brooke and Jeffrey

in the Morning on the radio where you live? Oh? Yeah, we didn't ask that. Um, I'm sorry. Who is this hi? Yeah, yeah, it's fine, that's all right. Um. We're we're morning radio show and we're doing a segment called a Second Date Update that we'd like you to be a part of. Well, actually too late, you're a part of it. Yeah, congratulations, show. We're really excited to talk to you, Jillian or I am anyway? Um? Okay, Well, I'm glad you're excited. But

I don't know you. Okay, Yeah, that's true. You don't know us, but you do know somebody that listens to our show, and that asked us to call you. And his name's Kirk. What yeah, yeah, right? Remember seeing Kirk not too long ago? Yeah? Okay? Was that exciting and he flew out to see you? Is this like payback or something? No? No, no, no, no, let's not payback ground Kirk. We talked to him and he just told us the story about how you guys met online and

you talked for like a month or so. Then he flew out to surprise you, and that's when he found out you weren't quite the same person as you put in your profile pictures. I'm just wondering, how how did you feel when he showed up that day and saw you. I was mortified. Yeah, you know, I didn't know he was coming and he was there like in my face. Yeah it was. I mean I would feel almost ambushed. I mean because you you had been betraying you know.

Somebody else said totally right. I guess I want to ask, like, has your feelings changed since you saw him, because he said you guys sat down for drinks afterwards and things seem to go pretty well. They yeah, I mean my yeah, I would say my feelings have changed a little bit. So I mean, he he obviously had to process the whole physical part was different right than he expected, and you can understand that that would be a pretty big shock.

I was taken it back as well. Yeah, appearance totally absolutely. Oh oh wait, Kirk looked different than you thought he was going to look. I mean in his picture he didn't have glasses and he's got glasses. Okay, that's okay. Well a lot of people, like I wear glasses sometimes and sometimes I don't, like I mean, yeah, I do prefer without the glasses. Yeah, I mean, is that a

joke like he clark pented you or something. I mean when he had his glasses on, he kind of looked older and like that character there's a South Park character I can't remember his name, Ester Mackie. Yes, the guy who's like that guy. Ye? Yes, yes, he wears glasses and he reminded me of that characters. Good picture to paint. I also like projecting your own feelings like on him. Hey, I am not blaming him, but he didn't look like

his picture either. Okay, that makes me laugh. He said that you used a completely different picture on your profile, like it wasn't even you at all. Yeah, and we've been through that already. But you're asking me how I felt about him, and I'm telling you he looked older, maybe like eight pounds heavier. Okay, what are you saying that? You like? You are attracted to him, it's just different. Oh wow, we had a big connection on the phone. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay.

And so glasses and eight pounds ruins that. It's not what I think we were expecting when we called you at all. And look, Jillian, I know that Kirk already surprised you once, but he's actually going to be surprising you again right now because he's been quietly listening on the other line and he wants to talk to you. Hello. Oh come on, yeah, cook, what are you doing? What?

What am I doing? I cannot believe he just said all that glasses and eight pounds heavier, and I mean, it's still me, It's still me in the picture, the picture that you had. What even new? But I I was remorseful for that. She just feel bad. She knows

she did something wrong. Yeah, and I know that, And that's why we talked afterwards, remember, And we spoke about that, and you shared your feelings with me, and we I know, we haven't spoken for a while, but I was hoping to keep talking to you, and then now I'm kind of like confused. Well, I'm just being honest with you, and I can't get that south Park character out of my head every time I keep for you. Are you wearing your glasses right now? Kirk? Maybe I'm about to

put them on right now? Don't do that great with your glass design. I cannot believe that. Like anyway, I mean, you guys just had a really bad first meeting. There's a lot of surprises, a lot of big, huge emotions like large glasses, Like maybe you're just making this as an excuse just because it was just ikey. Yeah, this is this embarrassment on your part, Jillian. As I've said before,

I am remorse. Yeah, but that doesn't excuse what he did. Well, this is crazy because this is two people who just a couple of weeks ago was saying that they loved each other, and now they're on the phone and I can sense all this tension and Brooke, I think you would agree we can fix this. Yeah, if Kirk would just apologize for not sending her a photo of himself wearing glasses, that was his bad Kirk, Can you own that? Can you say I'm sorry, Hey, look, I send you

guys an email so I can talk to her. And now I'm the one who's apologizing to her for wearing glasses. I'm just saying, Jillian, apologize to you. Being sarcastic, Kerk. You don't need to apologize. I mean, I do think you could say something nice to Jillian if you still even want to go out with her again. You know what, that's the thing, Like, I wanted to go out with her again. I wanted to continue to talk, but after this, and she wants to go out with you too, as

long as you lose the glasses and the wood. So with that being say, we would love to sends you guys out on a second date, and we will pay for that. I mean, I'm not happy about this. I'm just letting you know. That's why we haven't been talking. Well, that's how most married couples are. They're not happy with each other most of the time. I think that's a very very good thing each other they do. I mean, I'm worried about bad habits. Bad habits like bad video.

So I mean, I'm just saying, like it could be a poor diet that leads to poor hygiene and then maybe you know, bad eyesight. Guys, you know what, Just stop because I don't even want to do this anymore. No I do, I do? This has gone totally less. Oh man, Oh wait, so now you don't want to go out with me when you just said you would think about it. I haven't lost the words. I was going to actually pay for you to come see me, and now it feels like that would be a waste

of time and money. But I didn't say that I didn't want to come see you. Well you never wanted to either, But didn't you read between the lines? Oh my god, have we got to be done? Oh no, oh no. Who knew that a catfish across country could turn out like this? This is the most romantic story that I think we've heard all We don't do very good romance on this shore. This is the best that we have to offer. I wanted to l Jeffrey, and

it's ruined. I think we all were d T F I L, but most that we're just so o L got it broke and Jeffrey in the morning
