Second Date Update PODCAST: Childhood Sweetheart

do you? Why don't you like Marco? I had a bad experience when I was eleven years old, involving a swimming pool and a bad game of Marco Polo. I don't want to get into details of what happened. But now whenever I hear Marco, I get triggered. Yeah, so you're here. We're here to keep your eyes. Okay, Well, maybe you guys want to like scoot away from me. I was like, you're a little bit close, because if I hear the name, I might freak out. Anyway, Alana, tell us about this guy. I don't want to say

his name. How'd you meet him. We met online actually, and I had a great time chatting with him before we met. I was really excited to meet him. I will say, I'm kind of recently single after a long term relationship that I had just gotten out of. Well, it's good that you were excited to meet him. It's not so good to go on a date that you're scared to meet somebody. So you're off to a good start already. True. True, But honestly, like excitement is not

that normal these days. Usually you're just going out because you need to go out because you're single. Like, I'm on a date, I'm nervous. Yeah, I mean, what had you so excited about? Marco? We just totally hit it off in texting conversations, and you can tell with someone when you're texting if the vibe is there if it's not, and there's definitely text chemistry that's a thing. Yeah, and he's a little bit older, so that was the only thing that I was like a little bit apprehensive about.

But I figured, let's just go on the date and see. And I'm so glad that I did because I wasn't concerned about that at all. Yeah, what is your guys' age? Difference. Can I ask it's about ten years okay, but yeah that's fine. Yeah, that stuff too bad. So what did you guys do? So we actually rode scooters out of the city. It was his idea. Fun. Yeah, I thought that was a great idea. It's something I had never done. We found a cool little diner and I had a

meal that I've never had before. I had chicken fried skate Welcome to the country girl. Yeah, I figured when in Rome, right, Yeah, eat anything covered with gravy. Yeah, exactly. It was just a really easy going, kind of no pressure gate. We talked about things that we shared in common. Um, he actually really likes wine and so do I. It's like a hobby of mine. And we bonded over that and I love that wine can be a hobby. Well, I mean there's a lot difference between like my being

able to drink foxwine. Fine with that as someone who is actually really into tasting. We'll talk to you about the bricks and the wine. And I don't know, can yagerbombs be a hobby? No, that all tastes the same terrible? All right, So you guys bonded over wine. So long story short, we ended up back at his place, and I will say I did spend the night okay, nice, And I hope you say that with a smile on your face. Yes, we had a great time and I

am really looking forward to hopefully seeing him again. But the thing is is that he doesn't answer text like right away. And I've been texting him and I will get a text back from him, like sometimes it will be that same day, like in the evening. Sometimes it will be a whole day that goes by, like the next day he'll respond, which is a huge change, right because before there was a lot of back and forth. Yeah, So my issue is that it just doesn't seem like

he is wanting to hang out again. It doesn't seem like he's pursuing me whatsoever. He's there, like he hasn't said, oh I'm not interested. So I just want to know, like what's going on. Was there anything that's running through your mind that you think may have gone wrong on the date. The only thing that I was kind of like, oh, shoot, this is weird. I ate my food so quickly, maybe just I we had scootered for so long and I was so hungry, and then it never had chicken fried

steak before you're like, how my life has changed? So I kind of ate the whole thing and I finished, like he still had about half of his food left. But I think that men actually like that. Men like a woman with a real appetite, and you can fit a whole steak in your mouth at once. That's hot. Yeah. I wasn't thinking about like I need to take my time eating, like, I was just living in the moment and having a good time, and so I just was

eating back. I mean you wouldn't. You wouldn't want to go out with a guy who judges how much you eat anyway. Yeah, so we'll see. I'm curious. I mean it is strange because you guys spent so much time together too. Yeah, was anything weird the next morning? Oh honestly it wasn't. You know. I did have to leave to go to work, so there was I had like a legitimate reason why I needed to, like but no,

it wasn't awkward at all. Okay, Well, before we play a song first, what wine would you recommend with a chicken fried steak? Maybe like a white wine. I would think, like nothing too heavy, because the steak is so fried and heavy, you would want something like, all right, we're gonna go buy some wines online, we're gonna play a song, we'll come back and then we'll call you know, Mark, Oh no, we're gonna call get your second date up

date after this. If you're just tuning in for the second date update, we're talking with one of our listeners, Alana. She went out with a guy that she met online recently, and even though he was ten years older, they still connected and they went on a scooter ride into the country together enjoyed some chicken fried steak. She did say that she ate hers pretty fast and was worried it may have been a little bit of a turn off hungry girl, but it wasn't so much of a turnoff

because they did end up spending the night together totally. Yeah, but after that, he's not calling her back, so she's wondering why that is. Well, I mean, yeah, he is messaging me back. It just is taking him a long time. Okay, are you just aid shaming him because he's not good with technology? Is that what you're saying. It's like ten years older, he's not a senior citizen. I don't know. It makes a big difference sometimes. Well, I guess we're

gonna call his name Mark Marco. Oh, recall Marco. Sorry, and we'll see what the deal is. Are you ready, Lana? Yeah? Here we go. Hello. Hi, can I speak to Marco please? Yeah? This is Marco. Hi, Marco. My name is Jeffrey from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. You have a moment to talk with us. What's this about? This is about a segment that we do called a second Date Update. Have you ever heard of that before or are you familiar with our show at all? I

might have. How'd you get my number? Though? Well, somebody emailed us about you because you went out a date with them and they had a really good time with you, and afterwards you've been kind of slow to get back in touch with them. Okay. Her name is Alana, so she messaged you about me. It's not a good vibe there, Marco. Yeah. And she told us what you guys did when you were hanging out together, and she had glowing reviews. Really,

I gotta say a plus for date planning. I mean we heard about the scooter, the countryside, the chicken fried steak. What girl wouldn't swoon? Yeah, it was fun. Okay, not as excited as I am about your date. I mean, you even spent the night with this woman, so she told you that. Yeah, is that not true? No, it's true, I guess is on the radio. I mean it's kind of an important fact, right. She's not ashamed by spending the night with you. She thought that you guys really connected,

that you had a really good time together. Don't you feel like you owe her an explanation for why you're not getting in touch with her. I've been in touch with her, but not the same. Yeah. I mean, even your reaction when we said her name wasn't great. This is on me? Is yeah. I don't even know how to tell her this. Oh my god, are you in a relationship? No? No, no, no, no, no, nothing like that.

I should have done my due diligence beforehand. But I was checking out some of her social media afterwards, and I made a connection that didn't sit right with me. I mean a connection. So it's gonna sound bad however I phrase it. Um, I knew her dad, and I didn't know that I knew her dad when we went out. Oh my god, she said that you were ten years older. You actually older than ten years older than her. She said that I said I was ten years older, because

I never said that. She just guessed, Oh, she just guessed. How much older are you? Uh? More than ten? Oh my god. So what's the connection to her dad? Then? Are you like buddies with her dad? Her dad used to be my boss for a little bit. I'm your boss. Well he was like boss for like a year. He hired me for a job. Well, like when she was born, my boss had handed up cigars. Oh god, do you like basically went to her baby shower? Shut? It is not cool anymore. Oh yeah, I know. I mean, oh

my god, they get it. Oh wow, you guys looks so good for your age. Thank you. Uh yeah, I basically worked for like a year looking at her baby photos. Oh yeah, okay. And I had no idea. I never put the name together. And once I went online, yeah, it just kind of clicked into place. And now I feel really dirty. Yeah, you're a dirty boy. It's kind of like your uncle Marco. Yeah say that, bro, I wouldn't go that far. It's not a family creep out. It's just kind of like it's weird. Yeah, I've never

been there. It's not a big deal, but the fact that you yeah, yeah, well I don't. I don't want to make things more awkward for you. But part I need to tell you, Marco that Alana has been on the other line listening and she heard everything that she said me right, yeah, I'm Oh my god, I had no idea first of all, and I what a crazy connection, Like what a crazy wool? Yeah, this is so awkward. Yeah,

it really is. Um, I you totally understand, like why you're kind of weirded out by it, And I guess I am too, but I'm glad that it's not because like I did something wrong. But I no, no, no, no, no, And I totally understand. This is the most uncomfortable thing. I mean, I don't know if you remember having a toy elephant, but oh my god, oh my god, no, it has to zob, it has toop. Wait, oh god, why are you an elephant? Wait? Did you give her

an elephant when she was a baby. I gave her father an elephant when, oh my god, it was like my favorite toy. Look at that. You guys had similar interest right beginning. Oh my god, I'm dad, this is too much. The elephant's name. No, don't don't even who cares, Jeff, I don't know. She couldn't talk. Okay, this is too weird, this is too much. Okay, wait, hold on them, let's hold on. Let's let's take a deep breath here. Okay,

let's take a deep breath. Yes, it's weird, but it's not like you babysat her or changed your diapers or anything like. You never even met her as a baby. You just saw pictures. I mean technically I held her once where No no, wait what well they had brought her to the office one time. Yeah, hold the baby, you held her as a newborn. Oh my god, it's real bad. No, no, no, no, no, no no, no, I can't. I can't, I can't, I can't. I can't. Oh my god,

wait are you not? Are you not attracted to him anymore? So? Just are we even asking? She's from Idaho? She doesn't get it. This is this isn't even bad where she's from? Agree to your friend. I well, I understand your sentiment, but I'm legally obligated to ask. Yes it is. Would you like to go on another date with Alana Marco? We will pay for it. Oh my gosh, I'd rather you pay for the hot water bill, for all the showers I'm gonna need. You guys have a lot more

in common. Maybe you could show up to the family reunion see your dad again, just like a whole time. Yeah, I'm so glad we cleared that up. So you're glad. Focus Like, actually, I kind of like baby Tuck. Okay, I feel like we're bad people now, I'm just kidding. It's just a joke on light Now.
