we cross paths, throw your body my way. All right, well, and I listen, it's good for you. But we have to remember Brook that there's people who just aren't as lucky in their romantics. I know, I don't know. She's always really judgy about this. She thinks that everybody's in love all the time, but there's some people that struggle with it. For whatever reason, things just never seem to work out for them. And today we have a great opportunity to actually help out one of those people. Everyone

deserves a lot. Yeah, we're not dealing with you today, Jose. We're going to help out someone who emailed us. His name's Gus. Gus, welcome to the show man, Hey man, how's how's everything going? How could you be named Gus and not be in love. Gus is such a lovely like who doesn't love Gus? Okay, your energy is okay, Okay, I'm trying to bring him up. Tell us a little

about your romantic situation. Why did you email us? So? Yeah, I got married pretty early and after my second divorce, it kind of seemed like all my relationships lasted one or maybe two dates. Okay, So when was the second divorce? Um, it was pretty recent, a few months ago. All right about that? Man? Why I always bring the mood down in this conversation? I mean, I think it's pertinent to the dating. Like, I mean, after you know, only a couple of months after your second divorce, it seems like,

what do you expect? Like it takes a while to get going. Yeah, and I tried like everything. I tried mats, I tried ten and one night I got so desperate. I tried women behind bars. Please tell me that's who we're calling for the second date update. No, no, even that didn't work out. So I just kind of stopped trying, like because everybody says, when you least expect it, it'll

just hit it. Okay, everyone says that everyone that's already married, says that gust isn't married twice, so he should know. So where did it hit you? So I was actually working at this pown shop and I met this pretty girl. She was so sweet. Her name was Ellie. Ellie okay, And you know, it was kind of a little surprising for me because at this pawn shop, like the crowd here is like a weird crowd, you know, right, I'm literally imagining the show Pawn Star everyone that goes in

there so interesting. Yeah. Yeah, So we started talking and we hit it off. Okay, that's awesome, man. And so I got the diger and we started texting each other, and I was really honest with her about, you know, my luck with women, and I asked her out. So she met me after work for some frillio at this plaza strip. So we just I thought it was romantic. We just went around these antique shops and just kind of chilled and talked. Okay, were you getting a good

vibe from her? I was, But then it seemed like she just kind of wanted to get out of here before the date was over. You know, I had all the stuff playing. Did you mean like her mood changed suddenly or she seemed that way the entire time. No, I think somewhere along she just it seemed like she was in a hurry to just kind of leave and get back, and I didn't know why. You know, I was having a great time. Okay. Was there any moment where you tried to kiss her or hug her or

anything like that? I guess right before she left. But I'm feeling like she's the one I like get away because we had more of a connection than even my second wife, just very random people. I gotta say, I'm a little worried to ask that. I mean, I don't mean to laugh, but you just got divorced a couple of months ago. This is a second and up there are recalling for you to ask her for her hand in marriage. Why do you feel that? Like? What about her says she's the one that got away to you,

other than the fact that she physically got away. I'm crying out. She literally laughed. Yeah, yeah, I know. Makes it sound like you were chasing her. You weren't chasing her, were you, Guss? Now, I wasn't chasing her, but I was definitely calling her name, like, Hey, what's up are you leaving. You know what's going on. Yeah, so you were talking to her as she was walking away from you. Yeah, she said she had to go, So I guess we

were kind of still talking. If I'm talking to her and she's acknowledging that I'm speaking, I hear you buy Yah. It's a bit of a dramatic exit. Yeah, you know, I mean maybe you put off this vibe and you freaked her out, because honestly, what vibe like the vibe of like you're the one, you know, like maybe you were too intense. No, I don't think so. I mean she gave me the dishes. Yeah, that was That's where the talking to your guests. I don't get the vibe

of intensity coming off. He went with FROO to this girl at a strip mall, and all of a sudden, she's the one that got away. Yeah, it's called romance broken. Look it up. Okay, So here's what we're gonna do for you. We're gonna do guys, We're gonna play a song, we'll come back, we'll call Ellie and we'll try and get you your second date update. All right, all right, all right, hold on if you're just tuning in for the second Date Update. One of our listeners, Gus is

looking for a little bit of a dating life overhaul. Yeah, it's extreme love makeover Gus edition, because he told us he hasn't had a lot of success in the dating scene. It's his second divorce a few months ago. He's tried a bunch of different dating sites, even women behind bars at one point. I'm not even making that up, he says,

he really tried that didn't pan out. But recently he met a woman named Ellie when she stumbled into his pawn shop one day, and for their first date, they went and grabbed some fro yo, wandered around an antique store. After a while, she was telling Gus she had to go. But he now calls Ellie the one who got away, because she literally got away while Gus was yelling after her and asking why she's leaving. I don't think that that's what they mean with that saying. But okay, yeah,

it's changed my perspective on it for sure. Yes, I think it's literal. But Gus, we're about to call her. How you're feeling right now? I'm a little nervous, but it's gonna be great to hear from her. You know, it's been a while since I've actually heard her voice. And by the way she has legs, today's the most beautiful, just legs a little out of place. No, I'm really glad that I know that before I made the phone call would have gone much differently. I mean, Gus, I'm

a little worried about you. You're putting a lot of pressure on this, you know, I don't think so. I think she's just maybe a little nervous to really fall in love again. I think she's scared to fall in love. You know, are really scars. People are scared to commit and fallow. And it hit it hit her, and so she ran away from him in the parking lot of an antique story. Okay, all right, I guess we'll find out if Ellie's scared of love or just scared of you.

So here we go number Yeah, all right, here we go. Hello. Hi is this Ellie? Yes, it is hi, Ellie. Who's this who's speaking? My name's Jeffrey from the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. How are you doing good? How are you doing pretty good? Um? Calling you today with all my co hosts, Brook Jose, we have Alexis here too. We're doing something called a second date update. Have you ever heard of that before? Um? I think so. Okay,

we're on the right path. All right, congrats here we are, Ellie. So far, so good on this phone call, coming in with the right tone. Yes, okay, okay, I'm appreciating it now. But here's the thing, Ellie. The way that this works is if you go out on a date with someone and afterwards, if they're not calling you back, you can email our show and we'll reach out to that person for you to try and figure out the reason why they're ghosting. And recently you were out with a guy

named Gus. Oh my god. Okay, yeah, dude, I didn't enter anything though, Like I didn't call you. Did he call you? You? Guys? Yeah, that's how this works. Like he emails us and then we call you to try and figure out Yeah, on his bath to try and figure out what went wrong on your date, because he had a really good time with you. He's a little bit confused why afterwards you've been kind of m I A, oh my god. M So he's already talked to you about the date. Yeah, he told us a little bit

about how everything played out. That you guys went to Froyo, went to an antique store. You met at his pawn shop, and then at the end of the date, you were saying that you just had to get going, and you were kind of walking away while he was trying to keep things alive. Oh my god, Okay, I mean he thought it was a romantic time, like, well, it's not. I mean, it's the commercial like shopping thing where the

pawn shop it. So he didn't take me anywhere. I just met him at the pawn shop and then we walked to like a couple of antique stores that were in this desolate shopping mall. Oh you expected more, Yeah, I mean it's not exactly the cutest little commercial shopping area. It's pretty like dead. I mean that's that's kind of on you, that you've built it up in your head that it was going to be something else. Well, that's

not a lot of planning though. I mean, you literally are taking me to the same shopping center that you're where you were. Yeah, but he mentioned to us, He mentioned to us that you also left before he had, you know, other things planned. He didn't go into any more detail about that about why I left. He wasn't sure. He said that you just had to go, that you had something else going on. No, Oh my god, I can't. I can't believe you did bring this up. What happened?

So after going to a couple of the shops and he brought me fro Yo, we went into one one shop. There was like no signager on it and it seemed like it was like empty. And so we go in and there's it's like a waiting room area okay, And I was like what is this and he's like, just wait a second, you'll see. I'm like okay. So we go. When we sit down, he's like flipping through a magazine.

So after like five minutes, this lady comes out of like some rum or something and she like looks over at us and she looks stunned, and so I was like, oh, does she already know him? And then she comes over to us and she's like, Gus, yeah, you're gonna need to leave. Wait, she was talking to you, or she was talking to Gus that he needed to leave. No, she was talking to him, and she's like this is

a therapist office, Like you can't keep doing this. And I was like, he just brought me to his therapist. A therapist was blocked out windows. What did he say? He like mumbled something like it wasn't a big deal or whatever, like this was just normal for him. So I have a lot of questions about the story that you just told us. It's not really clear to me. I think we need to ask Gus to clarify because Ellie, Gus has been on the other line listening and he wants to talk to you. I thought I just had

to do it with you. Guys. Oh my god, now sorry, there's more Gussie there, beautiful? How you time? Bad time? Mean? Yeah, talk to us about the office that you were in. What happened. Look, if I really really like someone, I introduce her to my therapist, you know, just so she kind of gets to know someone who is also important to me, because that's an important relationship to have. I see my therapist a lot. Well that's great, guys, and I we really encourage mental health here. But this is

a first date. Yeah, you don't go from fro Yota therapist. I thought it was a sentimental thing. I thought she would appreciate that, you know, she would care that I was doing something so thoughtful. At least I mean, like there's some positives that will come out of like a therapist session. You could be honest with each other. You could break down your past. You know they don't have a past. Jeffrey, well, like this is his way to open up about his past. Ellie, where are you at?

I mean his explanation is nice. I guess my biggest thing was that, like the therapist said, like, you can't keep bringing women in here, which means that you've done this before, like you've brought other women. Yeah, like I said, I date a lot, and sometimes I find more than one girl who I'd like to introduce this to the other girl. That means a lot. Okay, Okay, now now this is all making a lot more sense because you were telling us that most dates with or most dating

things with you only last one or two dates. Yeah, if you're taking them all to the therapist, Yeah, that's why they're scared. So maybe I shouldn't do that. You not listening to your therapist. She was angry and tell you to do this. You don't need us to also follow that. She's also giving you that advice. You said you listen to her. I mean, you seem like a

good dude. And it's great that you're trying to get your mental health in order, but your therapist can't be the one who is running your dating life for you, Like she's there to give you tools so you can do it on your own. Yeah, I'm massage therapist's strong for a date. So I mean, Ellie, talk to him. How are you feeling, like, do you see the potential for another date with him? And you know, don't think of me as being your therapist here right, I'm just trying to get you guys to open up to each

other a little. I mean, I really liked Stars. I thought he was very handsome and very charming. But I think he's got he's got to take a break from finding the love of his life and just like focus on him. It's like single calls. Okay, do you hear that, Gus? Is that something that you're hearing? Yeah, and I think it worked out even better you could go with me. Well, Gus, I'm sorry, dude, all right, thanks man, Oh, don't say it's okay. You're going to find somebody out there eventually.

Now the one that got away actually did finally get away. It's all about you, Gus. Work on you. You got this, thanks guys. I mean, maybe I should just start dating my therapish. I mean she's pretty hot, power her legs. Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning
