Brookings Second date update. I'm not even sure today's second date update qualifies as a second date update, since Randall, the guy who's on the phone and wants us to call a girl this morning, actually went on two dates already with the girl that he wants us to call, two dates in the same day. Actually, yeah, Randall, what's up? How are you? I'm good? How are you all good? Now? Your email said that you went on two dates with the same girl in the same day and now she

won't call you back. How do you even go on two dates in the same day. Well, it's kind of funny, obviously. You don't hear about that quite a bit. Um, I went out on this blind date with this girl named Abbey. Um it was we met in the morning, which is a little weird, but that's kind of a time that we both had. How early in the morning, like she was getting ready to go for work and you were outside her door going, hey, I'm Randall, nice to meet you.

Or did you guys plan for this exactly? I had a boombox over my head and everything we planned for it. You know, we met down Starbucks, you know, got a coffee nine in the morning. Was this before work and everything. Yeah, yeah, she you know, I think she had to go someplace and I had to go to work about ten, So just met for real quick coffee. Okay. I don't usually go on blind dates. I find them kind of weird. Was this a true blind date or did you check

her out on Facebook and stuff beforehand? Well, so you knew it. You knew what she looked like. At least I did, and you know that's that's why I went, because he's like, oh, she's cute, you know, so I have to trust my friend's recommendation a little bit, you know. Okay, So coffee was cool, and then um, you know, you know, we had our coffee and I kind of I wanted to see her again sort of as soon as I could, So I went for broken, asked her if she wanted

to go and get some dinner later that night. So tell us about how dinner went. Well. Yeah, so we went out to dinner and we started just talking. Actually, the one thing we really kind of bonded over was music, which is really cool. Like you were like super into Katie Perry, like the the Real Deep Cuts, and she's a John Mayer fan. So you guys really clicked or oh no, no, no. I mean I he asked me what kind of music I liked, and I just sort of named some bands, sort of stuff nobody really has

ever heard of. But you know, she she knew a little bit about him, and we started talking and we kind of lost track of time, just talked about music. And it's cool. You're two hipsters after each other. It's hard. It's nobody's ever heard very ground there called rocket Ship to the Funky Steamboat. They've only played three shows ever, and I've got them all on final So you guys like the same kind of music and stuff. That's cool. Did anything strange happen on your date, though, because that's

always the most important part. I mean, if I knew it was strange, it wouldn't probably be calling you guys. I mean, we talked about music, and then I walked her out to her car and we kissed for a little bit and then for a little bit anyway, and that was that. So so it's like a steamy makeout session. And at the end of the night, yeah yeah, yeah yeah. How many times have you try to get a hold

of her since that day? Well, you know, it's been two weeks since I've talked to her, you know, I've tried to call her, you know, several times, and I text her. And the thing is, she never picks up my calls, but she does answer my text messages. What does she say. It's usually like, you know, I fall send her like you want to hang out or whatever she says, Oh, you know, as something came up, or you know, I'm busy or I'm working tonight or whatever.

You know. Okay, So so she's constantly making excuses not to see you. Yeah, as a girl, I can tell you that's not it. That's not a good sign. We can pick up the phone if we wanted to talk to you. I mean, I want to see her again, but you know, I just don't know if I did something wrong or whatever. I do want to thank you for your email yeah and talking to us for a little while. I appreciate that. But I do have to let you know this is called a second date update.

Technically this will be your third date if we call her and we're not allowed to do it. So I'm not gonna be able to make a phone call. Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to make the phone call for you. Sorry about that, but I just made you invest just wanted to cheer your story and tell you that you couldn't do it. Yeah, no, that's not third date update, dude. Actually, we'll play a song, come back,

call her and get your second date update. Okay, thank you very much, hang on it looking jubil in the morning. You know, Randall, I was pretty impressed by your story about going on two dates in the same day with the same girl until I played that song and have been thinking about my life for a little while, and then I realized I've done it four times in one day. You've gone on different girls, not even dates. That's how awesome my life is. Pay for all of these girls.

Who cares how it happened? Details aren't important, all right, Randall. We're about ready to call Abby, just to refresh everybody's memory. Randall went out with Abby on a blind date. They initially met for coffee, then ended up a green to go out in the evening to have dinner. It it was a good date. They enjoyed each other's company and it with a makeout. But now she's blowing him off, giving up all kinds of excuses why they can't hang out again. We're about to call her and ask why

any last thoughts before I dial her phone number. I just need to know I'm excited. So I feel like, you know, you've invested some time into this girl and you obviously really like her. If she says something mean like I don't know, your teeth are too big or your personality sucks? Are you gonna cry? Not on the phone? No, okay, just cry to yourself. That's all right, hey. And if it doesn't work out, there's more fish in the sea. I don't know if I told you my story about

four times? All right, you know there's other options. All right, I'm gonna die the phone of her right now. Hello, all I was looking for Abby. How is Thatabby? Hey? Abby? How are you? This is Jewel from Brook and Jewel in the Morning. Um, sorry, you're from where Brook and Jewel in the Morning the radio show. Oh have you listened to us before? Ever? Yeah? I look you guys at the time on Guys Quick nine. No, that would be a different morning show. We're on ninety two point five.

As people get it confused all the time. It doesn't matter. We get text messages from people listening to different shows. We are on ninety two point five, though, we do a segment on our show called the Second Date Update. I don't know if you've heard of that or not, but what it is is where if you go on a date with one of our listeners, they email us to call and ask you why you're blowing them off. A guy named Randall recently emailed us about you. Okay.

Randall said in his email that he enjoyed your date very much, told us how you met for coffee and then went out later in the day for dinner and seemed to have a great time. He's been trying to ask you out for a while now, and you keep giving different excuses as to why you can't go out with him. Our job right now is to ask you if there is any particular reason that you don't want to see Randall again, because he feels like you're blowing him off. Um, well, I have been really busy lately,

but now you're blowing me off. You know you'd make time if you really liked him. No, I mean he's nice. I Um, I don't. I don't know. Are you blowing him off? Abby? Well, I'm I'm not in tough. I'm mabbe. It's okay to say yes, if you're blowing him off, he just wants to know. Okay, Yes, I don't want to go out with him again, And is there any reason why we have a mutual friend who set us off?

And then I got a phone call from my friend the next day and she says that she had talked to Randall and he had um set some stuff to her that kind of just set off alarms for me. You know, he said stuff to your friend about you that set off alarms. She told me that Randall got I guess excited about seeing me again, and apparently, like that night he went home and bought like a thousand dollars worth of concert tickets for us to go see

some shows. Like yeah, like a thousand dollars how many show like planning hading on like six months of concerts, Like basically he planned future dates. Yeah. I don't know how many shows it was, but I just know he told her that it was like a thousand dollars worth of tickets. Are you sure that he bought him like as dates for you too? Yeah, So she said that's aggressive. I can see like, hey, I'm going to buy a couple of tickets to a show hoping that she'll say yes.

If she doesn't, I'll give him to a friend or something and then stay home and remind myself what a horrible person I am. So your friends said that he shared with her that he bought a thousand dollars worth of concert tickets for future dates for you guys after one date. Yeah, and it kind of it kind of creep me out a little bit, like it was really really fast. Abby. Thank you very much for giving us that information so that we can tell Randall about it. No, No,

I don't. I don't want him to know about that. I just told you guys because you're asked. Well, I kind of have to tell him though, because that's the whole idea behind the segment, you know, is so that he can know what he did wrong. Anybody. I don't want to embarrass the guy or heard his failings or anything. Yeah, I mean well, but all right, how about this, Abby, how about we just bring him on the air and you can talk to him because Randall is actually on

the other line. Yeah, I told her in confidence. Then she went in and told you about this. Is that right? This really feels awkward? Listen, That's not like what it sounds like. I wasn't going to just like show up at your house with an armful of concert tickets and just be like, hey, I have the rest of our life planned out. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. This is going to like parse about we have such a good time and these bands are going to be in

the area in the next couple of months. I just figured get them before they sell out so we could have something to do if we wanted to go out again. But I spent one day with you, and now you're planning like months of gates. I mean, I don't know, just like set off alarms in my head, you know, like just makes me say, I don't know, I don't want to get involved with that. I don't have like a doll made, you know, a review or anything like that.

So you did spend a thousand dollars and buy a bunch of tickets for shows coming up to take Abby too? Yeah I did, But you know it's parsed out over several months, not like over the next two weeks. We're going on a cruise to do whatever, and any randall you would have bought them regardless, it's not necessarily for you an Abbey. Thank you well. I did buy them for her and me, but we had the whole conversation

about every one of these bands. I went. I looked, they're all coming to Seattle in the next couple of months, so I figured, why not get on top of it and get tickets before they Also, you know, I don't have much I don't have that much more problem with it, Randall. I actually think that's kind of cool. Like I mean, most girls always complained that you don't try hard enough and you don't got Anyway, he's already planned out the

next like seventeen dates they're going on. Wouldn't creep me out if we had been, you know, going out for a few months or so. But we went on one date, we went on two dates. Were on two dates in the same day. That's sort of one day coffee meeting him a dinner. It doesn't really true, you know, we went on two dates in the same day, and yet it's too intense that it bought you tickets two months

in advance. I thought dinner was a fun, pompy thing, but I wasn't looking for something so quick, you know, right, so food but not entertainment. Okay, Abby, he didn't tell you about it. You found out from his roommate. He wasn't pressuring you to go to all of these things. I think it's like thoughtful thing. I can see that, but it just the way it came out she told me anyway, And I don't know. I just I don't really want to go out with him. Naw, she she

told you. How is that my fault? That's actually a good point, Abby. Randall might have kept it a secret from you and just had these tickets and was like every once in a while would invite you to a show and you're sweet. Yeah, your friend, your mutual friend, kind of sold him out and made him sound like a psycho at spend a thousand. Yeah, but maybe the friend was worried. I mean, maybe the friends telling you because it is a red flag. I think she got the same red flag that I got when she told me.

I mean, she wouldn't have told me for no reason, you know. All right, Well, I'm on Randall's side here, Abby, I gotta tell you, and I would love for you to go out with him again. I will pay for you to go on a second date with Randall. Come on, Abby, if you will. I'm sorry, I just I just don't know if I want to. Are you sure there's nothing I can do to get you to go out with Randall again? No, it was just too weird. Look, I mean, what do you what do you want me to do?

I can back off, I can take it slowly, that's fine. Okay, this is just sort of I got over excited a little bit. Okay, let's just try again. Can we go out again? So he dials it back Abbey a little bit. You don't have to go to any cards? Yeah, no shows, nothing, We'll pay for you guys to go on a second date. I just feel like I'm being pressured by by you and then by everyone. Just I just don't know how they feel comfortable, and I don't think I want it

all right. You know what I think is bulls because I've already spent like one thousand dollars in gift cards for dinner, and now you're not going to use them. It's a broken jubil and the more
