Second d day. You know, when you think of the most fun and romantic times to be dating, Okay, I think there's a few eras that definitely stand out, you know, like the nineteen fifties with drive in movies and sockhops milkshake counters. What were those balls? Were you sat and you each had a straw? Yeah, split in a shake? Shake shack. No, that's good either. But there's also the roar in twenties too, with flapper girls and speakeasies. It was always a party. But probably the most romantic era
was the Middle Ages. What oh yeah? Just taking that special lady to a book burning, going on a moonlit witch hunt, and while the smell of rotting flesh just waffs through the town and then you lock lips as the crowd chance burner that is? That was dark? Wow? Who are we going to decapitate tonight? It gets me in the mood every time. I'm not the only one, because there's another guy out there who knows just how romantic the Renaissance was. His name is Darren. He's on
the phone with us right now for a second date. Up. What's up Darren? Hey? Everybody, how's it going? Yeah? I'm guessing. I'm guessing I'm gonna go out a limb here that we're leading to your renfair type of guy. I mean, I don't know if I'm that type of guy, but I did actually go to a Renaissance fair for sure, and I had a blab. I've been to a few. They're actually really fun. All people ever tell me about
him is the Turkey Lakes or whatever? Y'all. Yeah, yeah, what's the name of the fair maiden that you took to the Renaissance Fair? It was on a blind date. My buddy Troy was really digging on this girl, and and so he asked me to be a wing man for him. And oh, so it's like a group of you that win. Yeah, there were four of us, and so I went and my you know, I was with Melissa, And okay, did you guys dress up for this? I mean, were you in full medieval garb? Not full medieval guard
I don't have full medieval garb. But m Troy bought us. I don't know if he was just he was just being nice and probably showing off a little bit. But right when you enter you can buy a few bits and pieces, and he bought us a hat and like bought me a scarf with this arm guard. So we you know, we kind of looked the part for sure. Yeah, what kind of date activities do you do at a Renaissance fair? Like do they have couple's blood letting? No?
What what do you do that's romantic? There? I'm just trying to think, Um no, we I mean mostly like the most entertaining part at the beginning was just sort of taking in all the people, just like watching all the folks who did take it really seriously. I was so surprised. Is that like the number of folks who I mean they had like an entire separate wardrobe or maybe they walk around like this out in the world
and I just never seed them. I feel like we're hearing a lot about the Renaissance Fair and not so much about Melissa. Like, what did you feel like it's a blind date? You didn't know anything going in? Well, I mean we were having a blast, Like I felt like we were just laughing and having fun. It was just really easy. Was there chemistry? I mean, was there like a romance? Oh? Like there was like yeah, you know it by the end of it. Before we went
to the jousting match. We were like, you know, we will be walking and kind of like rubbing elbows and you know, like we were getting closer, and was practically said, yeah, she showed her elbows. What she let me see her elbow? Right? Okay, that's good though. So were there any lowlights of the renaissance? Fair? Though? I mean, she did confide that she was a volleyball
player in college. Is a confession? What do you mean confide? Well, we watched the jousting where that you know, they were like knights on horses and it was tons of fun. Then they opened up this sort of participant jousting section where you had to stand on a log and you sort of like poked each other with these foam tip lances. And okay, so we jumped on the balanced log and started grooping with each other with these lances, and she
throttled me. She like landed me a shit like it glanced off my shoulder and hit me in the neck and I went down. Oh no, did she apologize? She? I mean she was laughing. I was laughing. His date was laughing. I just sort of played it off like everything was cool. But and I don't know if it was the need or the grog or whatever. But I jumped back on that log and I went after it. Oh yeah, I I mean I just wanted to. I just wanted to let her know that, yes, you're an athlete,
but you know I can play this game too. I've been working with a lance for years, so I'm going to show you whose boss that fun. I was having a good time, I am. I was a little worried, and I am a little worried that I might have taken that just a little too far. I'm a man. I can't get beat by a woman. I mean, that's kind of like the vibe. It's in keeping with the Renaissance theme. Yeah, you're just a character that's not showing
who you really are, right. But I think that we had enough of a great time that I could put it back together, and we like laughed and giggled almost the whole time. It was really, did the Renaissance fair end between you two? Was there a kiss or a hug? You know, there wasn't a kiss or a hug because we were with you know, we were in the sort of duo date moment. But we definitely left. I definitely left showing interest and I asked for her number, and
she seems very eager to give it another run. Okay, yeah, let's see what she has to say. We're gonna play a song, we'll come back, we'll call the fair maid in Melissa for you, and we'll try and get you your second date update. All right, Darren, I really appreciate it. Thank you. Okay, hold on se if you're just tuning in for the second date update, We've got Darren on the phone. He recently wingmanned for his buddy at a Renaissance fair and his blind date there was a woman
named Melissa. He says they had a great time together checking out the medieval merch drinking mead, but things got a little weird when they did some playful jousting using foam lances because Darren lost to Melissa in the first round, got knocked off his perch, so he was embarrassed and came back went full Sir Galahad on his date. What's that famous night from from the Renaissance time? Okay, block
about Sir Arthur. That's what I'm talking about, Merlin baby. Okay, Well, Darren knows who Sir Galahad was, and he channeled that and you know, basically beat the crap out Melissa with the foam lance. So he's worried maybe he got a little too intense in the moment and that could be the reason that she's been blowing him off. Is that right, Darren? That is right? Yeah, well liked it all. He's still
laughing thinking about the memory of knocking her to the ground. Well, and it was like, it sounds like you're kind of intimidated that she was a collegiate athlete to me, I mean, Alexis was a collegiate athlete on our show. I mean get really competitive with you because they knew you'd I mean, if I was to get beat by a guy, though, like I wouldn't stop till I can try to beat him. So I think you have a good chance of getting her back. Good. Okay, Well, let's give her a call
and find out what the reason is. Here we go, Hello, Hi, is this Melissa? Yeah, I'm Melissa. My name is Jeffrey from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Do you have a second to talk with us? Um? I guess um, this is strange. Sorry, I know it's a little bit weird, but I'm here with my co host Brook and Jose Alexis is here too. Hi Melissa, Hi, um, what is this about? This is about a segment that
we do called the second Date Update. It's where if you go out with someone and afterwards, if they're not calling you back, you can email our show and we'll reach out to your date for you to try and figure out the reason why they're ghosting. Oh okay, does that make sense? I mean, yeah, it makes sense. It doesn't. I don't know. I don't know who will be calling you about me. Okay, Well, the guy that emailed us. Maybe you don't recognize him in his normal clothes, but
maybe he's wearing his night costume. Oh okay, it sounds familiar. Okay, it still sounds crazy. But yeah, talking about Darren m that you have fair with Yes, we did, we did that. The reason that Darren reached out to us is because he says he had a great time hanging out with you, but afterwards you've been blowing him off and he's not quite sure why. Well, first of all, I think it's crazy that he's reaching out. They get in touch with me,
That is beyond beyond. But I'm gonna you know, Yeah, I'm gonna go along with this and say, yes, we had a good time. It was great. Well, if you had a good time, how come you're not calling him back? Then? Is it because he got a little too competitive when he was jousting you? I mean he told us that you took him down and his little male ego got her, and so he got up and maybe got a little
too competitive. Yes, he did. He didn't get competitive, and I mean, you know, I'm competitive too, so I definitely understand the spirit of retaliation, okay, and I also understand how fragile the male ego is. So you know, I let him. I let him win a couple you know after that, you know, oh you let him more than yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. Yeah. It was that a turn off? Was that? Like? Why, I mean, why you don't like? Oh, I mean, I'm used to that. I'm you know, I'm a woman, so
I'm used to right. So it wasn't really, It wasn't terrible. We laughed a lot. It was cool, but we were like walking around and stuff, and he said something to me that that threw me off. Okay, time, I didn't really know, so I said to him that I had never been to a run of Talk Festival, which I hadn't said that he had never been to a run of talk festival, which I didn't front un usual because it's not like people go all the time. I guess
I don't know. He said that he hadn't been to that type of festival, but he had been to a fairy festival. A fairy festival like elves and fairies. Is that what you mean? No, like fairy like like like, yeah, that's yet not the same. Oh my gosh, I don't know. Fairies were you dressed up in the big animal costumes and they say it's not necessarily sexual thing? But you the romance? Well okay, So I didn't know what that was.
But I was just like, you know, okay, I was listening to take down because I liked the Google thing. So when I've got look, I looked him too. It like what kind of festival? They're thinking like, well, maybe we could do that the next time, you know. Yeah, so I looked you know, so I looked it up and I was like whoa, okay, yeah, And so I guess I don't need to tell y'all you said it's like a festival. First, I think they call conventions. I don't. I don't know that they always are though, because I
had a girlfriend's day in a hotel once. It had a furry convention going on. No, but there was like schedules for like naptime in the lobby where they would all go cuddle together. And she said when you would get in the elevator with them, they would all pack in together because they liked to be really close and tight together. I think it really wasn't really your friend, this weird friend. And I just haven't know all the details about the convention from what she told me. Obviously
I didn't. I think it's fascinating, okay, But for you, Melissa, it's not always sexual, That's what I'm saying. But for you, Melissa, whatever was quite sexual, and it was quite freaky and a little bit you're freaking from me, And I'm like, you know, if we go out, I don't want to him try to, you know, put me in some body. You don't want to be a little panda bear. No. I doesn't want us to escalate into anything that I was not comfortable with. So I just decided that I
wasn't called Carlin Bay Well, I'm sorry. I know that you don't like escalating things, but I have to escalate this conversation just a little bit. And let you know, Darren has actually been on the other line listening and he heard everything that she said. Why would I set me up? I'm sorry? He was desperate, Darren, take off your giant squirrel head. Are you still there? Oh my gosh, yeah, I am still here. I am. Did you hear what Billissa said? Why she's freaked out? I did? I'm I'm like,
I actually forgot that I even brought that up. It was not even a thing at me. It was just like a silly little you know, wingman date kind of experienced similar to this, like renfair thing wingmanned at a furry convention too fine. It was not pitched to me as a furry festival. It was pitched to me as like an animal costume thing. I mean, honestly, like, I was curious and there were some really interesting behaviors going on, and it was just sort of a fly on the wall, bliss.
Are you listening to him? I mean, I think it sounds like he went to this thing once he wanted to see what it's about, check it out. I mean, I don't think he's gonna put you in a puppy costume many times soon. Yeah, I could have overreact. You know, google what had been doing that though? It's but Darren, did you participate? I know you were a wing man, but did you participate in any of the extracurriculum? Oh
my god, the adult stuff. Yeah. I get what you're asking, Melissa, and I'm so embarrassed that I have to answer this. But no, no, I did not participate. I watched some interesting stuff go on, but I did not do any of it. Okay, didn't I think that's cool, Melissa. Don't you think just watching people do weird stuff is maybe worse? Just participate, guys, I don't. Okay, Okay, like a squirrel people watch it is okay, But you know that's different. Though at least it didn't wing men at Browny. Con'd
be a different story. Maybe I still do have him with that. Okay, I don't even know what that is? What does cost? Don't google anything anymore? You know, I can't believe it. I'm you all, let me know that I'm a square. This is terrible. We'll hold on, maybe we maybe we can round you out a little bit. Because we want to offer to send you on another date with Darren and we'll pay for it. Doesn't have to be to any convention, maybe just a normal dinner
date that might be a better like recent. Yeah, you can start by wearing a wig and then we'll build up to like more and more of a costume to Oh, Darren loves it as long as he wins. One yo. Congratulations, Darren, you got your second date. We did it. Thank you, guys. I really appreciate it. Melissa, you won't be disappointed. Yeah, you won't be disappointed until he takes off the giraffe costume.
