Brooking jewels, second date, up date. Nothing says a fun date like a Goofendorfer coffee table or a lack shelf or a Gorfin Dugan couch. What we're talking about? Ikea the best place to have a first date. No way, I gave anxiety with the word Ikea. Oh if your name is Craig and you emailed us to do a second date update you love going to Ikea on first dates, because apparently that's what he did. No way, what are you doing, dude? No, no, no, let me explain. So
I met this squirrel on Tinder. Her name's Tammy. At times she was really cute and I kind of wanted to take her on like a different date, um than normal. So it was like, I'm gonna be creative. I'm gonna take her on Ikea date. And IQ is quiet, it's fun. Yeah, it's not. It's stressful. You can't find your way out of that place. It lasts for hours, and there's no alcohol. Well I mean not if you bring your own. Did you bring in some alcohol into the Ikea exactly like
a nice little flasks? No one's gonna know. I did. You may have just turned me. I don't know, why, but I feel like that would make it more bearable. Plus, when you don't have to actually buy anything, it's actually a really nice experience because it's like this mansion that you're walking around, a mansion full of particle board. So how did you sell this to a girl you met
on Tinder? So we were chatting and she kind of, you know, raised how it was like she goes on a lot of normal, boring dates, and how she's kind of over getting coffee, kind of getting she was kind of bored with going a restaurant. And I was like, all right, well I'm gonna take you on like a fun date, like on a different date. And I bet you she never saw that coming exactly. Yeah, she just put up the challenge and I tried to meet it
as best as I can. I actually think it went really really well because we met at Ikea and we like started to walk around, you know, and it's fun. It's really taking stupid pictures, were pretending to watch like the Cardboard TV, where like we have like a pretend argument in the in the kitchen. It was like so
much fun. It was like performance art at Ikea. I bet that was fun exactly, you know, And we go and we have like the Swedish meatballs at the cafeteria or whatever, and like no one was there, and you know, at the end, I kind of bought her fake flowers because they have like those flowers at the very end that you can get, yeah too, like come on, that's a good day, right, well, and it sounds like she was like in it, like she was into this totally. So to me, you guys are a match made in heaven.
I mean, thanks, yeah, and you don't have to spend a lot on dinner. I mean the Swedish meatballs are super cheap, yeah, and they are delicious. So how did it? Did you guys go anywhere other than Ikea or did your romance in right there in the Ikea parking lot? I mean I just kind of walked her to her car and just said all right, well, let's get together soon, and she was like yeah, I'd like that, And then I texted her like a few days later, didn't hear anything.
And it's been like a week in half now, I think, and still haven't heard anything. So and you know when you asked her out again, did you ask her to like a normal let's go get drinks at happy hour thing. Yeah, I mean, like if you're asking if I want to bring her to Best Buy next time? No, So why do you think she's not calling you back then? I
don't know. I mean maybe she like went to all of her friends and told her that some random guy off of Tinder it took her on an Ikea date and they probably all acted the same way that you did. Yeah maybe Andy, We're like, what is that? All right, well, we'll play a song, come back, call her and get your second date update. All right, okay, thank you so much. Okay, looking jubil in the morning. Second update. If you're just joining us for today's second date update, Let's go over
the steps to building the perfect relationship. Insert person A into person B. That is quick. That's a quick movie relationship. Realize that person A doesn't quite fit into person BE so reevaluate and realize that you're missing a screw and that's why you can't fit person A into person B. And then completely lose your and just who cares about the relationship anymore. That's at least how you build a relationship when it started at Ikea. Like Craig, who's on
the phone for a second date update? Today, Craig actually took his date to Ikea. It sounds weird, but he swears they had a great time. And I think it's strange because like she was into this Ikea idea, But maybe she was looking for more than just Ikea on that date. Or you know, maybe she didn't want to go to Ikea at all and that was a really bad idea. Maybe that is an honest reflection of what happened.
Maybe she just acted like she enjoyed going IQA with you. Well, I'm gonna dial her phone umber right now, see if we can get her on the phone and find out what we're wrong. Okay, okay, cool? Hello, can I speak to Tammy please? This is Tammy. Hey, Tammy, how are you? This is Jewel from Brook and Jewl in the Morning. Um, what is that? It's a radio show called Brooke and Jewel in the Morning, That's what it is. Okay, Why
why are you calling me? Well, I'm calling you because we do a segment on our radio show called the Second Date Update. Okay, you still sound confused. I don't know what that is. I don't really listen to the radio. Is that much? Okay? Good? I'm glad A second date Update. What it is where if you go out on a date with somebody and then end up not calling them after they email us to see if we can get you on the phone and find out what went wrong. Oh my god. Okay, okay, And so one of our
listeners emailed us about you. Oh great. Yeah, it just keeps getting better, doesn't it. I'm gonna say that you probably remember this date because it happened at Ikea. So yeah, Craig is wondering why you're not calling him back. He told us about your Ikea date, and everybody in the room feels like you're probably not calling it back because he took you on a date to Ikea. Oh my god, I can't believe he called a radio station about this. Well,
he clearly doesn't make good decisions. I mean, he took you on a date to Ikea and now he does this, so I can fully see how he'd call a radio station. Yeah, I kid, I can see that now. I don't know, though, it sounded like from his description you were into it. Like he said, you guys were like pretend watching TV and you enjoyed the Swedish meatballs. I mean, it was a cool idea. It sounds like he already kind of
told you a lot about it. Yeah he did. I mean he pretty much broke it down to us, said, you guys hung out there, watched the fake TVs and even had to pretend fight in one of the bedrooms or something like that. We did all that was fun. Okay, Well, if that was fun, then why don't you want to see him again? There was a couple moments there that it went from being kind of fun too kind of weird and uncomfortable. He didn't use one of the display toilets, Diddy,
Oh no, he did not do that. I don't know what it could be worse than that, So what did he do? Well, it wasn't as bad as that. I'll give him that. We went to different beds around the store. Um, and the first time we got to one, he jokingly was like, oh, tuck me in, tell me a story. And the first time it was cute and my guy did it, and he was like, talk to me in a mom voice, and so I did that and like, sure it was a little weird, but like I was
playing the game, playing long. Plus, he could have gotten the total other direction and been just a total perv the first time you got in bed. That's true. That's true, and he did not do that, so I am thankful for that. But it's just that that happened like three or four more times, like each time we came to a bed, he wanted me to tuck him in and read him a story. Then he was he was asking for me to like when I started talking, if I started reading this story in a normal voice, he was like, no,
use your mom voice. Come on to his defense. Maybe he's just really bad at role playing and he's not very creative. So he saw that you thought it was funny the first time, and he just kept the joke going. Yeah, I guess so. But then he put his thumb in his mouth and it was it was weird. It just way too much and it was creeping me out. Yeah I can see that creeping out even after one time, but over and over and over again, reread me a story, mama. Yeah no, it was weird. I love how Akia brought
out his mommy issues. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what happened. I just I had to get out of there. Well, then I probably shouldn't let you know that he's on the phone listening to this conversation. Wants to talk to you, Mama. God, you're joking right, No, I'm not your little boys listening. Hey tell me it's uh, it's me Craig. Hey, Craig, what's going on? Um to listening to the story about your experience of our a
key a date. Um, I don't know. I felt like the first time I did that, it was really funny and weird. I felt like you laughed really hard and I did I do this thing where like I beat a joke to death and uh, and I definitely did it this time, and I, um man, yeah, I guess that is a little weird. So it was a joke and not some weird sort of fetish fantasy thing that you're trying to live out in ikea. No, no, no, no no, no, no, not at all, nothing like that. But it was being
awkward and thinking that you thought something was funny. And then I realized in retrospect, oh my god, that was that was so creepy? Are you sure? But like you wanted me to call you craggy pooh pooh? Yeah again, funny at the time, now that I hear it again, totally creepy. See at least you can admit that it was really creepy, Tommy. I mean I was on the side until the thumb sucking thing, and then I felt like that pushed it over the edge for me. But
maybe you're more forgiving, Craig. I had a really good time, but it went from like zero to sixty in like two seconds, and it's just, I know, real creepy. I can I be like super honest with you. Is that when I like someone and I think that something's going really well, I just get kind of nervous. And I think about two thirds of the way through the date, I felt like we were really grooving and um, and when I get nervous, my jokes just go down the toilet.
Can I get really nervous I become a two year old and suck my thumb? Yeah? No, I just thought it was really funny at first, and then I got really super awkward by the end. You could probably tell because by the third time I let out that weird giggle that was supposed to be a joke. Oh yeah, I don't remember that craggy poo. I want to hear the giggle. I'm not. I don't think I could do it again. Do you want me to read you a story.
I can't go down this road because I might try to be funny and it's not all right, I'll save you, then, Tammy, would you like to go out on a second date with Craggy Poop? Now that you know it wasn't a weird thing and it was just a joke, we will pay for it. I don't know. My friends gave me a lot of crap when I told him about the Ikea ordeal. Oh come on, he's the most self aware weirdo that we've had. That's true. Come on, mamma, Tammy, contact me into bed again. Who wait? Is that Tammy
talking talking? No? That was sorry, it's so weird. It's so weird. I don't do it if you know. It's so weird and it's so believable. Yeah, I'm like a girl. It sounded like a horror movie, is what it sounds like? That was the voice who was using that night. Oh my gosh. Well, I'm just I'm just trying to be funny. Please go out with me again. If you could come back from that, Craig, it's going to be amazing. I promise. Have you gone on one more day with me. I
promise no more MoMA's Tammy chokes Craig. I want to hang out with you because I want to hear that voice more Tammy. What do you think will you go out with No? No, I'm not going out on another day with you. I have nightmare just hearing that weird voice that you're doing. I do too. I don't blame you, Craig. I'm sorry, no second date for you. That's okay. Broken jewel in the morning, very appropriate text message at seven eight five nine two. All it says is wt F
about today's second date. Update. Yeah, if you didn't hear it, that was taped. Well, Brooke was still here. She's out on maternity leaven. Of course Jackie is filling in. And Jackie's jaw dropped when she heard this dude's voice. So balloon voice. Yeah, this dude Craig wanted to call Tammy. They went on an Ikea date. He thought it'd be fun to go to Ikea and walk around weird too. Yeah it was pretty weird. But the reason she wasn't
calling back was because he kept getting into bed. I mean like, read me a story in this weird voice, and he said he was doing it as a joke, and then he actually did the voice that he was doing, and I understand why she wasn't calling back. Here's his normal voice. I actually think it went really really well. Okay, And here's the voice that he was doing. Come on, Mama Tammy, Tom tat me into bed again? So out of a horror movie. Yeah, I'm gonna hear this in
my nightmares. Now I am on, Mama Tammy, Tom tat me into bed again? So free. It's creepy, but all kidding aside. He was just trying to be funny. Come on, come on, Mama tan. Nothing funny about that. I just think as a female I would it would get old. First of all, maybe the first time I died laughing about sice. But then if he kept doing it, I'd be like, you're a freak. This guy has a weird fetish or something. He wants his diaper chain and Mama's
not doing it. Remember, if you want to do a second date update, all you have to do is email the show and we will call the person who didn't call you. But come on, mama chan also just out of nowhere.
