Second date. Up to date, we've heard about hundreds of dates on this show, and I can tell you, based on everything that we've learned, the single sexiest thing a woman can do on a date, okay, is be prompt. So you're going to confidence show up on time? Oh you can't spell prompt without romp. That's not an accident. They did that on purpose. Actually, four out of five relationship experts say, if your legs are in the door on time, they'll be in the air three hours later.
And I read it. That's the experts saying that. Wow, well the experts have gotten very naughty. There's some saucy experts out there. Unfortunately, for one of our listeners, Jen, she was not prompt during her first date. Oh yeah, so unattractive. So of course she went rompless and now she needs our help. So, Jim, how are you doing today? Hi? I'm okay. How are you? I'm doing all right? Tell us about the guy that you were not prompt for. What was his name? His name is Tim? I met
him online. Okay, he's really cute. Oh that's good, that's good. I mean, how late were you to this date? I wasn't that late, like twenty minutes. I don't know that if you if you give a heads up, did you give him the heads up? Well, that's kind of a funny thing. I so I was driving there and he texted me and said, I'm here and I'm running really late, and I, you know, like in my head, I responded to him and I texted him back. I didn't do it with my phone. And I got there and he
was walking out of the restaurant. I said, where are you going? And he was like, I thought you stood me up. And I said, but I texted you, and he showed me his phone and he's like, no, you did it. That is embarrassing, dude, I understand. And that though I do that all the time where I respond to people and then I didn't actually type out, or worse, you type it out and then you don't hit sin right either way. I'm like, you're frantic because you're late.
You're like, I don't have time to respond to this, and you're exactly what did Tim say when that happened. I mean, he was cool about it. He said, yeah, okay, and so we still like went in and had dinner together. That's really nice. That's I mean, that's got to be a pretty good guy if he's willing to look past that. Was he able to reset his attitude though, because I assumed if you're walking out of a restaurant thinking that you're stood up, you're in a pretty bad mood. Yeah. No,
I mean he was super nice. We had a great conversation. I mean. The one other thing that was kind of weird I guess was I didn't know that he's a mechanic. I like learned that through the course of conversation. So I have been having some issues with my car, and I asked if he could just like take a look at it for me. WoT that's like a comedian tell you, Joe, I can't blame you, though, like take the help, get it, but you're off. So you're already twenty minutes late to
the date. You show up, you find out that he's a mechanic, and then you're like, hey, by the way, while we're here under the hood. Yeah, I guess I didn't think. I think it was a big deal, and he was nice about it, and he did and we walked down the street and we looked at my car. Nice.
He's really nice, or maybe he really wanted to so there is a chance that he wanted to show off what he knows, you know, like he could see it as his opportunity to be like, oh cool, I can totally like yeah, you guys, you guys sure know how men think. I don't know. I'm just trying to be positive here. Like was he the one that suggested to walk to your car and look at it? I mean he agreed to oh agree. He told me there was like a lot of stuff with my car, which I
guess I should have known. And then I asked if I could like bring it by a shop. Oh no, wow, the business transaction you're taking like she's taking all the robbout of props. There's that I know. Okay, So now I was just sport. Yeah. So he looked at your car and then and told you there's a lot of problems and then you need to bring it in. How
did this night end? Well, he kind of said like, I don't know, I have to check my schedule up, you know, the business like okay, and then he just kind of like I don't know how to describe it, just like sizzled out, Like he seemed disinterested, and so we just kind of like left out in the room too. Just now there was an opportunity there. You check under my car's hood, maybe can check under some other that's not much better. I don't think he wants he doesn't
want to trade that. You do not understand how men think. Hey, it's not a weird I don't think that's right. I've never heard my friends talk like this. Honestly, though, Jed, I just think that you should have just left that out. You know, like you don't mix I mean for black like it's a terrible cle eiche thing to say, but like business and pleasure, they just don't mix together, you know. Yeah, I guess I didn't think of it that way. I just thought, you know, he's friendly and he'd want to help.
I don't know, and it's free. It is what you were saying. He give me a good deal. So have you tried to reach out to Tim after the date happened? Um? I have, and he just like hasn't even really responded. He gave me like a one word answer once. And it seems because I really think he's a nice guy and I have a really great time and I don't know, I just i'd love it if you guys can help me get like a redo. Yeah, I think you deserve I think you need a redo. I hope you've learned
from your mistakes. Ye on him, not on your car? Yeah, okay, so we'll play a song, we'll come back promptly, and we'll see if we can get you a little bit of ROMP with Tim when we do the second date update right after this. Welcome back to the timeless love story Rompless in Seattle, starring Tom Hanks and Med Gran two star crossed lovers. Sorry, this doesn't sound right. Can you just stop the music? You saw that? Sorry? I messed up. It just didn't feel good. Let me try

It's not it's not working. I just I'm just gonna recap normal. Okay, I can't. Okay, maybe we'll do an X rated version of the show later, but if you're just tuning in. One of our listeners, Jen showed up twenty minutes late to her date with
a guy named Tim. Shortly after that, she found out he was a mechanic and asked him to take a look at her car, which was apparently having issues, and Tim, being a nice guy, actually did and she's worried it may have killed the vibe of the date. Yeah, because now he's ghosting her right and not in the Patrick swayzy Demi Moore kind of way, just the normal sad way. So she needs our help, Jen, did we miss anything with your date? There? No, he's just like, he's a
really nice guy and I wanted dative set. That's sweet, It is sweet. I don't know that we asked. Have you tried to contact him like text? Yeah? Yeah, I've reached out and he hasn't really responded. Did you when you texted him? Was it all about your car? Or were you asking him to see you again? I might have mentioned it, but I didn't like ask him to do anything. Yeah. Well, let's just give Tim a call and we'll not talk about car stuff. We're just going
to focus on getting you another date. You ready to do this? Yes? Okay? Here we go. So, Hi, I'm looking to speak with the guy named Tim. Are you? Are you okay? Are you a small mouse? Come? There's several people on this top. Yeah, We're a morning radio show. It's called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. How you doing? Um? Okay, is this a bad time? No? Ye? What's going on? That's so well? We're doing a segment on our show
called a second Date Update. That's where if you go out with someone and afterwards, if they're not calling you back, you can reach out to our show and we'll call that person for you to try and figure out the reason why. Okay, okay. And so you recently went out with a woman who had a great time with you, and now she's hoping to get back in touch, but she's been having trouble reaching you. Her name's Jen Ah. Yes, Jen, you know Jen. It's good. Jen realizes that she probably
didn't give like the best first impression on the date. Yeah, or second impression or third impression. Yeah, that's a very true statement right there. She feels bad. Yeah, she told us about how everything played out, that she showed up late, and that she asked you to go look at her car, and she's remorseful about how that played out. But she's hoping that you'll give her another shot. I don't know,
I don't I don't know. She really liked you, Tim, and she realizes that it may have come off as like she, I don't know, she was trying to use you for a free car mechanic labor, but that isn't the case. Yeah, I don't know, so I would totally agree. Oh why do you say that? I don't know. I don't know if it's just like like the date was going pretty good for a while, you know, we're there, seemed like we had things in common, like we're talking
about books and you know, video games and stuff. But like as soon as I mentioned the fact I'm a mechanic, it was like the conversation just slipped instantly and like it was that was all. What the conversation was about was about her in her car. I mean, I can see how that would be a frustrating thing, but it sounds like from what she told us, there's a lot of problems with her car, so maybe it was just a top of mind situation. Oh it was just weird.
I mean, like, sure, I'll look at your car. And it was like dinner almost ended like instantly as soon as they said it felt like it ended way too early. She's like, you have cash, you could just pay for this. Right now. We didn't even like wait for her to get money back. It was it was almost like abrupt ending to the dinner. It was so fast, like she like threw her cash on the table and ran out and was like, this is it. You can fix it. The check engine light's been on. I mean it felt
like that. It wasn't a dastic as like actually running out of there, but like, you know, as soon as we got to her car, like the moment we walked up, I was like I knew I had made a mistake and it was like the thing was total, Like I didn't know what to do. I told her it shouldn't even be on the road. What do you do? What do you mean total? Like the wheel of kind of wobbly and like the tail lights had been smashed in. It was like she had been in a pretty serious
wreck and she was trying to tell me how. One of her friends said, you know, it's probably just something they can get done with a few repairs. But I'm like, I'm pretty much an expert on this stuff. I've been doing this for a while. I'm like, that's a total car. Like your car is done, the bumper is just gone. And I was just trying to be honest with her
when I said that I couldn't help. And this is like things just started getting weird then, because then her voice started raising and she was like trying to tell me that I didn't know what I was talking about, and how like her friend was saying that it was totally reparable, and it was just like, WHOA, take a chill till year. I'm just trying to be a nice guy, give you my professional advice. Well do you think I mean maybe maybe it wasn't that she was reacting to you.
It was just like really shocking for her to hear that. Maybe. Yeah, I feel like as a mechanic, you must hear stuff like that all the time whenever you give people bad news about their car. Well, totally, I mean we do. But it like that wasn't even the end of it. Like, on top of that, she was insistent on borrowing my car. What I'm like, how can are you serious? Right now? Wait? Where what did she say? She didn't even She's like, hey, you gotta at least let me borrow your car so
I can get around for a bit that night. Right there, she wanted to borrow your car. Yeah, this girl is a genius. Wait was she joking? I mean that had to do a bit of joke that maybe you just didn't read write. No, I mean it wasn't a joke at all. She said to me, you're a mechanic. You have access to lots of cars. You can just drive one of those for a few days. Oh my gosh. Did did I feel bad asking? But did you let her? No?
I did not, But I did get her a toe truck because I am a nice guy and I had triple A. So I was like, the least I can do is not let this girl drive in this thing again, because this thing is like messed up. Wow. Why did it took her car away from her? Was she it wasn't good to drive Alexe a danger on the road? Yeah, okay, all right, Alex. Tim. When we spoke to Jen, she never told us the back end of that story. She just said that you looked at her car. Yeah, yeah,
I mean that's the truth. That is so crazy. What is she like? Does she really want to date with you? Then? Now I'm even questioning her motend? Well, maybe we should ask her because I need to tell you, Tim that Jim has been on the other line listening and she wants to talk to you. Like that's but I guess I'm sorry that you fell used, but like, I don't even understand what you're so upset about. WHOA I was just asking for help. You weren't just asking for help.
I mean you were basically felt like you were demanding to use my car and like instructing me on how to do my own job. Like you just said, like I'm drivable car and you're like an expert. I have you a front of me, and I'm not going to ask you like, hey, could you look at this like and then yeah, I asked to borrow your car because it's like ten thirty at night. What do you want me to do like walk around at night by myself? You just told me that I shouldn't been behind the
wheel of this car. Yeah, I could have gave you a ride home instead of you borrow your I just thought you had like options for other vehicles and if you could help me out, why wouldn't you want? You know, we just had like a great date. Well, Jen, when when a plumber comes to your house to fix a broken pipe, they don't stay at the plumber's house while they fix it. For you. Well, I wasn't dating a plumber, okay, I was on a date with a mechanic. That's and
you're on a date like he owes you nine. You're like friends that friends help you do things. You're not friends yet. You're not friends yet. It's one date. You don't get that he doesn't. It's a very entitled thing to do to assume that this guy should loan you his car. Yeah. I just thought he seemed really nice and helpful. I don't nderstand what a big deal is. I was gonna say we could just keep dating, but
I don't even know if I want anymore. Oh wow, I don't know that that option was on the table. Really sound Maybe as long as you stopped texting me about your car issues, I don't need to update, you know. I just like I told him it was still not going great, assuming I actually wanted to know the update. I ask you were a nice guy, and you're acting like such a jerk right now, like all I need to listen to help, Like you're making it such a huge thing. They're like, oh, you're a mechanic and I
asked you for advice, Like the point all right? To day if I'm such a big jerk. I guess you don't need to reach out to me anymore. I mean, Tim, you have to ask yourself. Am I car shaming her right now? I mean I think she did a good job of car shaming herself. Yeah, well wow, I mean the conversation and isn't going great right now. But I still need to ask Tim, would you like to go out on a second date with Jen? We will pay for it. I'm gonna have to say, how would Jen
get there? Anyway? She doesn't have a good point. How about this, Tim, would you be willing to give Jen a friends and family discount on fixing her car? I mean, if her car was actually fixable, maybe yes, But the think just it's a piece of jump. It's fine, I'll take it to a real Expert's sounds like your friend is one, So just take it right under your friend Brook and Jeffrey in the morning,
