Second Date Update PODCAST: Brochure Guy

truth about myself. And Mark, who is on the phone for a second date update today, apparently has some good friends who are very truthful with him about his dating life, and he says that that helped him. Apparently he tried to change something in his dating life recently and he went out with a woman and now he's not getting a call back from her. What's up, Mark? How are you? How's it going pretty good? So what did your friends

tell you? Well, you know, I've been single for a while, i'n't really had like a furious girlfriend, and uh, you know, they told me I tend to kind of talk about myself a little too much and dominate the conversation. I feel that already, right, Well, thanks, let stop talking about yourself. I know we're asking you questions about yourself, but whatever, Yeah, I'm too self centered even on this show. Right, What

did they say to do to fix it? Well, they thought that if I made a little brochure I could hand the girl when I meet her and then she should kind of read it with some bullet points about me, that maybe that would take the pressure off. They were they serious about that. That's kind of funny they were.

So you know, my name's Mark. I made it. It's called you a market a Minute, and I have this just quick marketing a minute brochure that just like it's just a quick little thing, you know, catches yap on me. You know. It's like a picture of measurements, okay, measurements. So it's like a dating profile with it a brochure? Is there, like a travel dating brochure? Yeah? I mean it worked for that dude on Tender who had like a power point profile and women were going crazy for him.

So you you take a brochure with you when you go on dates now, right? So you know, I and you know, talks about like my hobbies and things, you know, break broken down seasonally, you know, the different things I like to do. Isn't that awkward though? Just sitting there while she reads it? And you're just staring at her while she reads about you, like exactly you would think that.

But when we met up, you know, I went to get a couple of drinks, so I handed her the brochure and so she could kind of read it while I was getting drinks. That's nice. So you're not sitting across the table. Wow, she reads the brochure of Mark. Yeah, right now we're using our time wisely here, you know. Nice. What was her reaction when you handed her a brochure? Oh, Mark, I think she found is already helpful. She didn't seem

weirded out alone. She liked it, and then you know, we are honestly, we're able to focus more on her as we were talking and stuff because that kind of I really did. She like it relieved the pressure. I think more people should do that on dates. You could have given her brochure. She could have given you a brochure, no need to even be there over half an hour, and then you could go do over whatever else you have to do. I make dating so much more streamlined

since you're vegan, I can't. I'm sorry glad we did this right away though. What's her name? By the way, her name is Elizabeth. Okay, can I just step in and say I think this is a horrible idea and apparently I'm the only one. Really Yes, I think it's cheesy, Like why wouldn't you if you talk too much about yourself, your friends should have just told you, hey, Mark, shut up and ask some questions about the person you're out with.

You know, that's easier said than done, Like I've tried doing that, but I have trouble holding back, Like, you know, I want to talk about what's up with my wife, so so you just can't hold back from talking about yourself. And how did the date go other than you're brochure?

Was it good? Well? I told well, really well, you know, we were hitting it off and she was laughing at my jokes since she was talking about her life, but then she had to meet up with a friend, so it didn't you know, it kind of got cut short a little bit. Did you believe that, Mark? Did you believe that she really needs admit she took the brochure

with her? I will say yeah, because I'm telling you she's going to show that to all her friends because that is ridiculous, or maybe she wants to make one up and she's just going to copy my work. Oh I don't think so, Mark, And just don't No, honestly, I think she took it because she was interested, and you know, she wanted to kind of look over at more when she got home. And you know it has all my contact info in there too, so I think

that she was interested. Okay, but you haven't heard from her? No, I haven't. But like that's why kind of need you guys to help out. And have you called her? I've texted her and I haven't gotten any response. Okay, And what's your theory why she's not calling you back? Well, you know, at one point she did kind of use my brochure as a coaster, so maybe some of my

info got kind of smudged. Okay, but she has your number because you texted her, So there goes that theory, right right, Okay, Yeah, just trying to just trying to figure it out for you, Mark, it could just be that you're still not a very good listener and that you made the date too much about you. I mean, would you come with a brochure of yourself? It's not really making it less about you. I'm sorry what were're saying? No, no, I'm serious. I am a good quest in her, I

swear I am. Okay, but no, but the brochure really did make me, you know, it made it easier for me to listen and just I know, was the right move, be able to just getting out of the open right right away, and then she was able to talk about herself. It's perfect. All right, Well, we'll see if she felt the same. We'll play a song and then we'll come back and call her and get your second date update. All right, okay, thank you, yeah man, hang on fucking

jubil in the morning. Second right in the middle of a second date update, and Mark is on the phone today. He wants us to call a girl named Elizabeth. Apparently they met on an app and they went out to a bar and Mark actually presented her with a brochure about himself because his friends told him that they think he's not successful at dating because he talks about himself too much. The interesting thing is we talked to Mark about his date and I just realized we didn't really

learn very much about her. We mostly learned about Mark in that first segment. We know nothing about her. Yeah, Mark, true, give us one thing about Elizabeth. What's what's her hair Colorum, it's like a brown or I mean, I guess it's like a maybe a blondish brown. Her hair color, I guess kind of a dirty, dirty blond kind Okay, that is, you're not committing to a color. Even can't wait to get her on the phone and find out what went wrong in your date. And we never asked you. Did

you actually explain why you gave her the brochure? No? I felt like that would have been a little awkward, so I didn't heard that. I honestly think that probably would have been the better decision to be, like, I gave you that brochure because people said to talk about myself too much, So I figured I get everything out of the way right now instead of just having her wonder why you brought her brochure along. Maybe that should

be on the front of the brochure. Yeah, you can just add that in there so that they know why you're giving it to them talking it all on a date. Anyway, I'm gonna dial her phone of her right now here we go. Hello, Hi, is this Elizabeth? It is hey Elizabeth. How are you? This is jew Bil from Brook and Jewel in the morning. It's a radio show. Hi. Hi, have you ever heard of it before? Yeah? The radio, I mean, not the show. Just have you heard a second date update before? I have heard a few, but

I've only a few, like, not all the time. Oh cool, what you're about to be in one? Seriously? Yeah, we got an email from somebody about you. Oh boy, Okay. His name is Mark, and you might have a brochure from him laying around your house right now? Oh boy, yeah I do, Oh my god. He told I mean, I met a lot of people on dating apps, and like some people are just special? Am I different? You know?

And so yeah, yeah, we talked to Mark and he said that he's really upset that you're not calling him back. He did tell us how he showed up to your date with a brochure that was all about him. Yeah. What do you think about the brochure? Um? I thought it was very thoughtful, but it's also very strange. Okay, a little bit of both. Sure you didn't like what you saw. There's a whole lot of information in there. I mean, like I know that he likes to play soccer in the fall and then like board games in

the winter. His GPA's on there, for some reason. I don't even remember what it is, but Gpa, oh my god, it's like you almost got like a resume essentially for your dates. It was like an audition here. I'm like, okay, I mean, did you find some humor in it? I mean, like I thought it was funny. I don't know if it was intentional or not to be funny, but it was funny. I mean, it's clever. Were you able to move past it and have a good time with him?

I mean we had good conversation after that, but there was a part where the conversation started to peter out, and so he got uncomfortable. I got uncomfortable, and so then he just grabs the pamphlet and he said, okay, so oh, let's play a game. I'm going to test you on, like how much you know about me? What a quiz? Yeah, and I test anxiety. Anyhow, he's testing you on the brochure that he took that's about himself. That was like a half hour. Oh no, wait, it

wasn't a joke. He was not a joke. He told me it was going to be a lot of fun. And now I don't really know, but then he yeah, he actually just sat there and tested me. It's like, what was my GP in high school? I'm like, I don't remember, Like how tall am I? I don't know, man, what was going through your head? It's a lot of pressure. Like I think he expected me just to absorb everything about him and I didn't, And then the conversation became like all about him really because he's asked me all

these questions about himself. That's funny because there is a specific reason that he does that brochure thing. Yeah, why does he do it? Well, I don't want to tell you. I'll just let him tell you because he's actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you. Oh right, yeah, kay, Lizaban, how are you doing? Hi? So you didn't like to brochure, That's that's what I'm

getting out of this. I'm sorry, Mark, I just I didn't know that you were going to be on the thought that it was kind of like awkward for me right now, right, I mean, I don't know what to tell you, Like I made this brochure because my friends told me I just kind of talk about myself too much, and I just wanted the focus to be on you, you know, Okay, he grabbed the pamphlet and test me on it. That's not getting to know me. And you didn't pass on the test and that I am totally yeah,

who would? But why? But that's okay. I mean, you know you probably had time to review it now though, right? I mean, Mark, are you a listening to what she's saying? You didn't even hear her? I don't know what to say. I mean, she do you? So you didn't like the brochure? Is that what it was? Okay? I think you all can understand. This is what I went through Again. You said you've made the brochure that so that you could listen more to her. But you're not listening to her.

You're not asking her any questions about how she feels. No, that's totally not true. Like I asked her how she felt about the brochure, and I mean I even asked her if she thought I she anged the cover of it. Okay, but you're still talking about you sort of Mark, when you're talking about your brochure, I mean not really like I'm asking her opinion. I want to get to know where it's foss about you, know about you? About you?

I mean just in this circumstance. But you know, I do want to hear what she says, Mark, just to let you know her future reference. You still want to carry around those pamphlets and you feel like testing your date, Like, don't like go aunt when they get a wrong answer. I was, it's a lot of pressure. It's not like a game show. Bring your own buzzer with you, so you don't do it with your mouth, like bringing actual buzzer with you. You buzzed her? How could you buzz her? Well?

She got like everyone wrong? What do you want me to say? And to be fair, I did to give you extra time, So that is awfully nice of you that I just have a hard time absorbing facts that I don't really care about. All right, Well, does not to be mean, Really it's not. I just don't care about your GPA. Mark. I think you are better off dating yourself at this rate. I mean, I've read the brochure already. I don't need it. You know you've lived the brochure. Elizabeth, would you like to go on a

second day with Mark? We will pay for it. I don't think that's a well I mean, you answer, you're very interesting and fun, but I just don't think that I'm as fun and interesting as you. So I'm going to say no, that was the kindest let down you could have gotten. Mark very well said, So, I guess that's to know. Yeah, I think so. Mark. I'm yeah, were you even paying attention? I understand she said no, But I just can't help us think that. You know,

my friend thought of this brochure idea. I mean, I kind of liked it, but it kind of feels like it backfired on me, Like you think I should still be doing the brochure. Absolutely absolutely. I want to do more second date updates with you, just to see how it goes. All right, Well, if you guys think it's a good idea, I'll keep doing it. Yeah, everybody is in agreement. Great idea, Keep it up, Mark, good luck man, Okay,

thank you, thank you. In the morning, text in at seven, eight, five nine two says I would have left as soon as the buzzerstounds started. So I'm on a date, not a game show. Yeah, it's broke in jubal in the morning talking about today's second date update. If you missed it,

Mark wanted to call Elizabeth. They went out. They met at a bar and He actually made a brochure for himself to tell her everything about Mark, because apparently his friends told him that they think he's not really successful in the dating world because he talks about himself too much.

So he made up a brochure to give to anybody that he goes out with so they can learn a little bit about him, and then that way he can just continue to focus on them since now they've got all the facts about Mark right in the palm of their hand. And it didn't work very well because they ran out of a conversation at some point, and then he just started quizzing her on the brochure about himself, so once again the conversation became him. It just dawned

on me where his friends trolling him. Probably do you mean, Mike, They're like, oh my god, we told him to do a brochure and he went through with it. I would think so. And then apparently, but he deserves Fred. Apparently when he was quizzing her, she started buzzing her when

she'd give a wrong answer brochure. Apparently she got every answer wrout yeah, which was a big turn off for him, right because she didn't know all about Mark, and Mark apparently wants everybody to know all about Mark all the time. Does anybody else this? I don't want a copy of the brochure, though I do, I really want to see it. I think a brochure thing could work if you made it funny, like I think, if you take it seriously,

there was in what he was doing. He did it. Yeah, serious is what I'm saying, right, he was literally like a timeshare salesman. Most people, for himself, are just very intrigued with the brochure. Somebody texts it in seven eight, five, nine two, And just I want to know what paper and print quality of his pamphlet he used. Was it cardstock or trifold? I don't know, And we didn't even ask like black and white or did he invest in color? And how much is it to get a brochure? And

what kind of graphic design artist did he use? Yeah? Did he do it himself or did he hire somebody for that? That could be thousands of dollars by the time he's done. And they decided not to get well, she decided not to go out with him again. Yeah, they did not get a second date. So remember if you want to do a second date. Update you want to call the person who's not calling you back, all you have to do is email the show and we

will call them for you. A brochure too, about the whole thing moving ninety two point five
