Second Date Update PODCAST: Street Quiche

Oh man, Meg, don't be too hard on you. Yeah, So, before we go any further, Meg, I just want you to know the feeling is mutual. We're all super disappointed in you too. Okay, that's fair. No, it's a good thing, because there's nowhere else for you to go from here but up. Okay, So just remember we couldn't possibly think less of you than we already do right now. So with that in mind, tell us about your date. Who's

the guy you disappointed us? Well? I know this guy named Sarah gay because I'm cute and he ended up being cute in person too. Okay, So I see where you're saying, Jeffrey, She is at the bottom. Yeah, she can't rock bottom. I mean, obviously things are bad, Meg, Yeah, but I'm still just really confusus. Okay, so wait, can we start with the disappointment or do we get to the disappointment? Where does that come in? Yeah, let's get

to the disappointment. Why don't you start at the beginning and tell us a little bit about what you and Sergey did. So when we touched on the phone, we learned that we both love to travel and on to a bit a bunch of places that I have on my bucket list, like Machu Picchu, and I decided that instead of going to you know, a normal boring sit down dinner, it'd be kind of fun to experience other cultures together and try street foods from around the world. Okay,

so cool. So you booked two one way tickets around the world and sit off on your adventure. We went across the globe and we started to a South America. SA, you didn't have some scot about kebab from Peru and some chaus. Oh, so like you planned out like meals from around the world by finding different restaurants where you could go get like appetizers. Essentially exactly it's like on the a little snack walk. Oh man, that my heart is already full. If someone took me on a snack walk,

that sounds amazing, it doesn't it. Well, it was going really well, but I should have stuck with South America, I guess, because I decided to take us to a French spot and I insisted that he tried some street kiche. And that's the thing. So street kish are these like actual restaurants or are these like carts that you're finding on the side of the road. No, their food truck. Oh you're at okay, Yeah, you're walking up off the street. But like man greets get you. Yeah, it's written right

there on the side of the truck. It will get you. Fifteen minutes after he had the street ki, he was just in really bad shape, like he was heaving. Oh it's like webbing is really scary. So I took him to her or didn't care. And I felt terrible because of this stupid street keech. And so the nice thing was that, like our conversation was a little bit surfacing at the food trucks, but in the waiting room, you know, he opened up a little bit. That's nice. In between

heaves and cold sweats. He's opening up to you. See, that's the secret to getting a guy to open up to you. Put him in the hospital and he'll tell you exactly what you want to hear. Get him vulnerable. And he was crying to you, is what it sounds like. What did he tell you about? What you talk about? Oh? You know, we just talked a little bit about our families and where we grew us, and we tried to would not talk about food good So obviously I cut

it short because he wasn't feeling well. I stayed until he have a doctor and then I offered to take him home, but he just insisted on getting himself a lift and taking care of himself and we had a really you know, polite hug, and that's kind of how things ended. You know. I sent a check in text let him know that I had a good time before the heavesies. But you know, he's not really there's no flirting or or you know, extra engagement. It is all

very polite. Well, I would assume that he's very embarrassed, like anyone who's got food points. I mean, I'm assuming that he had food poisoning from the street. Keish it's not your best look. So why are you disappointed in yourself after this because the Keish didn't kill him? Or did you want to get to the rest of the countries. No, because the Kish didn't kill me. You know, I feel a little responsible because I was on telling him to try some food from my country. Oh no, your country,

your heritage food. Yeah. I want him to know that he shouldn't feel in there or be afraid of the French. So when did he get released from the hospital, Like, when's the last time that you talked to him? It's about a week and a half. I'm sorry. If I got food poisoned on a first date I wouldn't be calling the guy back either. All you think about where you think about them is no, it's terrible. Yeah, it's like he's not going to eat Keish for at least

twenty years and you're associated with it. So well, that's what I thought. But then after he got sick, you know, he's kind of opened up to me, So I'm a little confused. Yea, why we were able to have this authentic, meaningful conversation and then nothing. Yeah all right, Meg, Well, why don't you go grab a plate of Keiche. We'll play a song and come back and we'll call surrogate for you and get your second date update. All right, thank you, Okay, hold on brooking jubil in the morning.

Second update if you're just joining us for part two of the second date Update, we're on the phone with Meg. She went out with a guy named Sergey and accidentally gave him food poisoning on their date. Oh, she didn't

give it to him, but yeah. She took him on a little tour of all the food trucks in their neighborhood and she forced him to eat some Street Keishi asked him whatever, which made him open up, just maybe not in the way she hoped, because he became violently ill and she had to bring him to urgent care, and once they released him, he has not reached out to her for another date. So Meg, we're going to try our best to figure out what's going on with Sergey.

Thanks you, guys. I really hope Street Keish didn't just ruin everything. Well, it did ruin a lot of things. Yeah, yeah, probably his pance, but I just think he's embarrassed. I think if we can get through that piece for him, then it seems like a pretty easy second date situation. Man, I sure, hope, so I liked him a lot. All right, Meg, Well let's call Sergey and find out why he's ghosting you. Are you ready? Yep? Okay, here we go. Hello, Hi,

can I speak to Sergey please? This is Sergey. Hey, Sergey, this is young Jeffrey from Brook and Jewil in the Morning. Give a minute to chat with us. I'm sorry, who is this? It's young Jeffrey from the radio show Brooke and Jebil in the Morning. Are you familiar with us at all? Hey? Hi, guys, So, yes you listen? Or yes, you're cool that we're calling you. I'm sorry, I'm just a little confused by all this. Why are you calling me?

It's a good question, great question. Well, we're doing something called a second date update, where we ask people who have gone out on a date recently why they're not calling the other person back. So, you recently took out a woman named Meg, and she told us a little bit about what happened. Yeah, she feels bad about it, and she's really hoping to get another chance with you. She just wants to know what the reason is why

you're not getting a hold of her. Okay, And for the record, she feels terrible about the street keish situation. We heard about that, Yeah, she told you about that. Yes, I mean, if you're going to describe the date, it's a pretty pretty big moment like that would be the highlight, right, So you you think me vomiting everywhere was a highlight of the date? Okay? That low light? I mean just a definitely spotlight, a memorable moment on the date. I see,

Are you embarrassed? Is that why you're not calling her back? No? I mean I had a good time. You know, she's very nice even with all that. You had a good time before that, Yeah that part, that part wasn't real fun. But yeah, no, she's great. She's really nice. She's great. Okay that I mean, did you guys have chemistry? Yeah? We you know, we had fun, we chat, had had a bunch of food. You heard about the Kish fiasco.

So yeah, she is nice to hang out with. So why don't you calling this great, ice, fun girl to hang out with? Um? She just I mean, bottom line, she just deserves, you know, someone better than me. I can't be honest about my past. I haven't been dating for a while and I just I was thinking I should get back into it or something. But she'd be much better off with somebody, you know, than me. I just I could handle their keysh. No, that's terribly Like what do you mean she really liked you a lot?

Like what could be so terrible in your past? It makes you undateable for her? I just think I shouldn't be dating. You know, she deserves a guy that can just be wide open about everything, and I just that's just what can't you be open about with her? Did you get in trouble with the law or something? No, No, no it's not. It's not divorce. I just I don't think if if she found out, I just don't think she could accept me. It's not a you know, a

common kind of thing like that. So I just like I keep saying that, but I just I think I just should not be dating right now, and especially with her, because she's she's great and you know, she took care of me when I was sick and all that kind of stuff, so she's really got that sweetness in her and I am just a terrible person. Well it's been the past, yes, I mean, but it just not now. Um,

did you commit a crime? Or something like, you're painting yourself as a very negative person and you sound yeah, you sound lovely. Leg I would go have a beer with you. I mean, I'm a I'm a terrible judge character. Yeah, no, keys like, I don't think you're giving yourself a shot. Man. You can't decide for other people what they can and they can't handle. Yeah, but you don't necessarily need to lay stuff on others, you know. I mean, there's a

there's a level, you know, and mine's pretty excessive. So it's so, yeah, just quit good idea. Ok So whatever you did in your past is so bad that you think you deserve to never have love and be single the rest of your life. Is that what you're saying? Well, yeah, I mean that that's why I've been struggling with the whole dating somebody. You know, it's my first date and she was great, and I just you know, it's it's kind of likely that you hurt yourself sports injury. Let's

step back on the field. But you're like, oh my gosh, no, I'm not ready to all. This is still very painful kind of thing. So I just okay, I don't I don't think I need to drag her in. Well, Sergey, how about this, Why don't we let Meg decide whether it's worth going out with you again? Because she's obviously interested, maybe she should be the one that gets the final decision. Meg, don't you want to say in this? Yeah? I mean, hi,

sergaya Meg. Yeah. So here's the thing, Sergey. Meg has been secretly listening on the other line to everything that you've been saying. Why didn't you guys tell me she was listening? I mean, hey, yeah, I'm just glad you're doing okay, So yeah, I listen. I had a nice time and I thought we had a connection. And people make mistakes, you know, people have that credit peofall have seminal records. You know that's the path. But like, if weird to just disappear, I don't even think you'll understand.

You know, everything everyone's naming is just so light compareditis. I don't think you would explain me. I mean, you don't need to go into details, but try me. Yes, okay, fine, Um, I'm warning you you're not gonna like me after this. Okay, Oh my god. I can't go in a lot of detail. But a while back, I worked for some um some very bad people. You you would know them as the cartel? What? No way, he's like narcos. Wait you were in Okay, continue,

sorry continue cartel? Got it? See that's what I'm saying. You guys say in bad credit? All Let no, and I did you know more than just selling drugs? You know, if I hadn't escaped, i'd be dead. Like, it's just are you being honest? Are you making this up to get out of Like? Is this the most elaborate way to like not to blow somebody off and be no? Hold on? So can we clarify? You were in the cartel with bad credit and that's why you can't go out with me. No, nothing to do with bad credit, Okay.

I'm just trying to get all the facts here. Had to move to a different city, all that sort of thing. So that's why I can't open up. That's why talking about my past it just doesn't work. I don't need to bring Meg into this, so well, let Meg decide. Yeah exactly, she has a mind, right Meg. So see it's not what you were thinking. It's just the cartel. Is that? Okay? That's huge. I can't say I saw that one coming, but yeah, we should take things slowly.

You know. It's like it's mixed though, right Meg, because like part of that really scary, another part of that kind of sexy for some reason. It's a lot of things that one time. That's Yeah. So, as you were saying before, you know, you can handle anything if you can accept this, you know, I mean, are are you really interested? Well? We probably talk again, and it's nice to not feel as bad about the street keiche. Oh yeah, I forgot about it. So Megan, are you getting cold

feet about this now? Ah? Well, I mean no, he's still the same person I talked to at urgent Care. It's just more information. So nervous, but you know what though, you're starting possibly a relationship in very open, honest way, right and his credit is great, So why are we focusing that was her thing? I don't know. She was obviously concerned about it before. Meg. I'm free on Friday. What do you say, free from prison? Well, I'll look

at my calendar. We'll hold on, Meg. You I can't give your answer yet because if he's free on Friday and you agree, we'll actually pay for this date. We will pay for you to go out with the ex cartel member well, I still have to go look at my calendar. Do not say no to the cartel man. I know he's about that. He's got the hookups in Cancoon. You do not want to miss out on this. Yeah, I knew I screwed up. You tell somebody once you're with the cartel and they just blow you off. Words

to live by, Sergey. Thanks for being a good sport. Meg. Come on, he's been through a lot between the Cartel and the Keiche. Will you give him one more shot? You know it might work again, But I do need to check my calendar. And that's the final answer. All right, there we go. Thank you. I've never I never knew i'd feel so bad for a Cartel member.
