Rooking Jewels. Second date update. I've said it once and I'll say it again for all the guys that are listening out there. When you're going out on a date, less effort, less effort. When you try too hard, things get weird. Sort of like the guy we're about to talk to who wants to do a second date update today. His name is Tommy, and Tommy thought of an interesting date idea to do with the girl that he wants to call today. Tommy, how are you? I'm doing alright good?

Tommy actually wants to call a girl named Tommy today. Isn't that special? And I guess that you guys actually met at Starbucks because you thought her drink was yours or something like that. Yeah, they called out her name and it I'm just like mine. So yeah, we giggled because we both grabbed the cup at the same time. Are you serious? That sounds like a bad plot out of like a Nicholas Sparks book or something. Yeah, that's exactly what I thought. Whatever. You know, did you yell

at her for trying to grab your car? Well? I at first I was like, hey, come on, that's my coffee, But then I realized I was the guy taking the mistake here. Yeah, so how did you ask her out? Then? Did you ask her out right then? And there? Did you guys start joking around about your name or no? She just grabbed her coffee and left, and I thought, like Kiomi lived once, and so I kind of followed her out to her car and like asked her out really awkwardly. Uh, you know, she was standing by her BMW.

I mean, this is like a ten sort of gal And I don't usually get meet girls like that. You mean hot? You don't you meet hot girls? Yeah? I mean she also had a lot of money. What do you know that she had a lot of money? Well, I mean she's driving a BMW and had some really excited looking sunglasses. Yeah, but did you break down her financial portfolio right there? Are you just assuming that she had a lot of money? I guess I am assuming she could be brokeer than me. But your date is

interesting though. What you chose to do with her really pique my interest. When I was reading your email, Can you explain to everybody what you did? Yeah? Well, usually on first dates, I like to do activities like things that aren't you know, staring at each other and holding hands. So I thought I had to go bigger go home with this scouts. So I did this thing called the Bigger and Better Date. Have you guys ever heard of that? No? Have you ever heard about the guy who traded a

paper clip for a car on craig Blitz? Yeah? What? And so like through a whole number of trades, you can do that. That's sort of the idea. So I thought, you know, we'd start with like a dollar bill in trade it together and you know, see what we can get at the end of the date. You're talking about

trading things online. So you sat there and no, no, no, no, like going out usually, I'll like hit up like a flea market or um, you know, somewhere world like a street bearers going on where there's a lot of people or an event. Okay, so you're like, let's run around the city and try to like see what we can get starting with this one dollar bill. Exactly. That cool? I like that, How did you propose this to her? So we met up at the same Starbucks and in

the parking lot. I just told her, I said, this is the idea. We start with the dollar, we trade up and I don't know, she wasn't into it at first. Like all the time I was like leading the charge. I was like trading up and like, you know, I traded the dollar for a cookie and then a cookie turned into you know, like grocery bag, and I kept going and so I don't know, it kind of got lame for a while. Yeah, that did. She seem like

she was having fun at all. I kind of was forcing it a little, so I at one point we got the CD, and so I told her, you know, it was her turn because I had been doing all the work, and so I kind of like not pushy pushy, but like I you know, I said, why don't you try it? See if you like it? And she traded the CD successfully for a I know it's gonna kind of late, but commemorative plate, you know what I'm saying, Like when you put on your grandma's wall. You know, yeah,

sounds awesome. And what she really excited about or the plate that she got, I mean, she was excited that she successfully had done it. Um to me at any point, did you just want to go? You know what, this whole bigger and better date idea not really working out like I had planned. Shall we just go to dinner. Well, I don't know, I just I guess I just didn't want her to know that I felt defeated, so I kind of wanted it to be like, hey, look isn't this fun? Um? So you just kept going with all

of it, right right? I mean after we had gotten the plate, she said she had to go meet her sister. We said goodbye, and before we parted, I was like, can we hang out sometime soon? And she said, sure, you get a hugger or I'm assuming with that date you probably didn't get a kiss, but no, I mean yeah, well, I mean I gotta hug because come on, you know, but no no kids or anything. But it is the first date, so you never know how they things. Yeah, you never know. So how many times do you try

to get ahold of her? Since you know, I don't want to overdo it. I feel like texted her three times? Yeah, and I haven't heard anything back. So tell me, looking back on this first date, what would you I mean, you wouldn't have done this again? Right? Well? I actually I would. You know, when you're meeting strangers and dating is such a silly, stupid thing anyway, like why not go out and have a fun time, then be totally outgoing. Listen.

I'm all for creative dates, like I've spent a date drawing portraits of my husband on a date once, Like those are great ideas, but I just feel like, doesn't she feel like she's just begging at that point? Like you're just going a begging Hold on, Brook, you're on a date, but you are trying pictures of your husband. Yeah, that that one's silly, just sounds creepy. That gravy you each get ten minutes to dry each other. You sit with a pad of paper at a bar. Just try

it sometimes. Oh, I don't know, I don't know that the Bigger and Better Date guy is judging your date. All right, man, here's what we're gonna We're gonna play a song, come back, call her and get your second date update. Okay, all right, all right man, hang on Brook and Jubil in the morning, seate, Tommy is on the phone with us. He wants us to call a girl named Tommy. Today. They went on a Bigger and

Better date. You don't know what that is. Tommy basically started off with a dollar bill, took her around town for like two hours, seeing what they could trade things for like they go into business be like, hey, I got this dollar bill, what can I trade you for it? That's bigger and better and then they would just do that. And he's not sure if the date really worked very well, because the girl did seem kind of awkward at the end of it. We know that Brooke has been pretty

critical of the bigger and Better date. I'm curious to see what Lydia thinks though, Lydia, would you want to do this date? I think it's creative. He put thought into it, which a lot of we always complain that guys don't put enough thought into things. True. I think just maybe she got too into it. She traded up for a bigger and better guy. I think that's what could have happened. Tommy. Maybe, Oh god, I hope not.

All right, Tommy, We're about to get Tommy on the phone and see if it was your bigger and better date that turned her off, or if there's another reason that she's not calling you back. Yeah, I'm just curious to see what she has to say because I've never ever dated a girl like this, so I thought it was awesome. I just want to know what she thought. Okay, right, well, Dollar phone him right now, so even get her on the phone. There we go. Hello, Hi, can I speak

to Tommy? Please? This is hey Tonny. How are you? This is Jewil from Brook and Jewil in the Morning. I'm sorry who Jewbil from Brook and Jewel in the Morning? The radio show? Oh um, okay, I don't think I know. Oh okay, Well, nice to meet you. I host a radio show, I'm Moving ninety two point five. I'm calling you today because one of our listeners actually emailed us

about you. His name is Tommy, and he said that he recently met you at Starbucks and you guys went out on a date and he went a little out of the box and did something that he calls a bigger and better date. Uh h, yeah, that's true. Okay, Well, Tommy wanted me to call you today because he wanted to see if he screwed up on that date or if there was a reason that you're not calling him back, because I know that he's tried to text you a few times and he's gotten no response. Okay, he wants

to know why I'm not texting him back. Yep. So he asked us, if we get you on the phone, he emailed you, Yes, so what do you think of the bigger and better date idea that he did? It was certainly different than what I'm used to. Did you enjoy it? No? That was a nice little pause there. Okay, so is that why you're not calling him back? Then? It was really weird and just, you know, like I said, not what I'm used to. He's not like the guys I'm used to. I mean, but is that necessarily a

bad thing. It's good to expand your horizons, try different things. Well that's what I thought. How is he not what you're used to? What are you used to? Honestly, I'm used to being taken out on like a very classy date with really classy guys. I mean, my last boy fund owned a Jim. So I used to a guy that takes me places and treats me well. And this is we were like homeless people for the day. Do you mean, like you you date dudes with money, is what you're saying. I mean, at least guys that take

me out on real dates. This didn't even feel like a date. It was just we were like hold was running around like begging for money. I think I'd feel that way too, and I'm not, like, yeah, what was the worst part of it? I said to him, like, I mean it clear that I don't really do this, and he made me do it at one point for this plate with pandas on it. Yeah, he told us about that. He said you were he was actually very

impressed that you were able to get that plate. Yeah, you know, I don't want to hurt him, you know, being honest, That's how I feel, and I just feel like I deserve better. Hey, Tommy, wouldn't you like to talk to Tommy and just tell him that date was kind of weird and you shouldn't do that again. Maybe some constructive criticism. No, I mean, like I think he should get the picture by me not responding. Okay, well he isn't getting that picture. Yeah, I'm just gonna tell

you that. He's on the phone and mien listening, so you've already kind of told him. Yeah. Look, I feel like you didn't really try on the date. It's like you didn't really like try, so like, how can you tell it was really How could you tell if it was really fun? If you didn't really actually give it your all, you know. I kind of felt like I was like pulling you up the whole time. I think we could have had a fun time and actually had like gotten to know each other better and had a

fun date. Like not every date has to be this classy romantic roses and the table and wine and fancy fiddle players. Like I think it would be fun to like go the vagabonds for a day. I mean, that's fine that you think that, but I don't. I'm sorry. To be honest, dating me is a privilege, and I deserve to be on a date a lot better than I was dating you as a privilege. I'm a fun, cool, creative guy who actually likes to do things with people in the city. I don't do just cookie cutter dates

with roses. Man, Dating me is a privilege. That's your idea of a date. That's fine, but it's not mine. I'm sorry that I'm not like your ex boyfriend Jim owning beefcake, no brain, muscle face, rich people. I'm sorry. I'm not just like your father and native money. You know, I'm a real person, and give me real people. Real people beg for money on a first date. It's not begging for money. You keep saying that it's raving for things and asking for things like you're not into an adventure,

then I'm not into you. Well, then that brings in my next question. I was going to ask Tommy if you would like a second date with Tommy. I will pay for it. Tommy, will you go out with Tommy again? Even though he just said he didn't want to see you. Honestly, I think he needs to date somebody more his class, his league. Tommy, Hey, he's time to play in your

own league. All right, Stay in your class, buddy. All right, I'll stay in my own class because we have more fun and we do more fun things instead of, you know, read Southern living magazines. Light is about. I don't know how you're offended, Tommy. In the very beginning of this, you said you were attracted to her because you thought she was a rich girl. He said that, Well, you shouldn't be offended either, because it sounds like you're attracted to rich guys. Yeah, but believe them. I'm up fun

about it, he said. He said that he thought that you were out of his league because you're hot, and he said that he thought you might have a lot of money. Well, I guess I am a broken jubil in the morning's met you,
