Second Date Update PODCAST: The Kitesman

kids around me. Cool, it's in the air. It was hard. I couldn't get it to work. It was very frustrating. He was like a little kid's kite and I was like, oh, try this, and really, first time ever. It's very difficult. Well there was wind, okay, everybody else had their kite flying, but me, I'm no wonder I never did this. This is stupid. Yeah. I bring it up because Josh is on the phone with us this morning for the second date update, and Josh took his date kite flying. That's

awesome is a date. How are you doing, Josh? Hi? Good? How are you good? I hear you're quite the kitesman. Is that what they call it? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, do you do like tricks and stuff? I mean, are you an impressive I'm serious, are you impressive kite fire? Yeah? Kind of I am. I mean, you know, it is a bit challenging, but it's kind of fun. You can make the kite sort of turning circles and yeah, can do it just strite, It's really cool. Mine just hit the ground then I tore it up and threw it away.

Tell us a little about the girl you want us to call the day. Her name is Nicole. Yeah, it is all right, And what do you like about her? You know, she was pretty and we're kind of the same heights, so that's kind of cool. You know, I don't want to be the short guy because I'm kind of I'm short a little bit, but um but yeah, she just was really down to earth as opposed to my kite. Um um, Josh, did you I don't really, I don't really date a whole lot, so yeah, can

I ask you job? Did you just say down to earth unlike my kites? Yeah, it's so wonderful. I was not expecting a kite joke this early in the morning. Thank you for that. I try. Did she seem to enjoy your kite date. Yeah, she did. I mean I didn't really tell her that I was going to have a kite, but we not and I have a backpack there and I was like, oh, you know, I have a surprise for you and and and she's like, she's like, oh, what is it? What has excited? And I pulled my

kite and so it was really really cool. You know what was her reaction when she saw the kite. She was like, oh, okay, like something different. It seemed like, maybe, oh, here's something different, not your average you know, bottle of wine or or whatever. I think it's a cool thing to go to a park and fla I can't think of anything to do but dinner. So it's nice that you have something creative and a skill that you can

take a girl out and do something different. Yeah, and I once we got going, she seemed to be pretty impressed. You know, it's not just like a kite from the

grocery store or something that's it's a professional kite. And because I do this as as a hobby and and it's just not easy to to fly a kite, and there's a there's a lot of intricacies to it, how you hold the string and how you pull and which way your arms though, and the air pressure and there's there's drags from the wind, and yeah, I've seen those dudes out there. They can make them, you know, like dive down almost to the ground and make them flip

back up in the air. Yeah, yeah, you know, and that can be I felt like that could be really impressive. And and you know, when it got going, I thought she was impressed. And she took a string as well and was able to fly it and got it up in the air, and so it was it was nice interaction there. I felt like we're good to like accomplish something. Did you like stand behind her and help her guide the ropes? Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. How did everything in with you? When the date was over, did you

guys do anything other than hang out and fly your kite? Well, we, you know, we little kite and then we just a few minutes to sit down and talk and uh, you know, time kite. There you go, there's another one for you. Yeah. Thanks. She said that she had to go, and I just was like, hey, let's let's do it again. And she's like, oh, you know, I'll see you later or something like that. I don't know. I was so nervous and uh, and

then she left. Josh, how was the conversation Because I'm not like knocking you by any means, but I'm imagining you were really nervous. Yeah, you know, I did fumble a little bit here and there. But listen to you guys. I try to take take cues from the from the best, and you know, you guys are so cool and like witting, and so I'm trying to come up to say, you know, well, that's nice to you, but I can't fly a kite and you can. So I think that you've got one

of on me there a little bit. Yeah, but she was nice. She seemed to enjoy the conversation, So I mean I felt like, yeah, second, babe, this has got to you know, it really does seem like that my happening. How many times have you tried to get ahold of her since you went on the date. Well, I've called her a couple of times and I haven't left a message. I just want to talk in person to say, you know, when you go out with me again, or saying you had a really nice time. Well, you could always leave

a voicemail that just says Hey, call me back. Yeah. I thought about that too, and then, of course, you know I got nervous when you hung up. Okay, all right, oh Josh, well we will play a song. Come back, call her and get your second date update. All right, okay, thanks, you're welcome, man, hang on, okay, brooking jubil in the morning. Second, Josh is on the phone with us. He wants us to call a girl named Nicole, and Josh is quite the kitesman. Is that the right word, Josh? What would

you call it? You're good at flying kites? Would kitzman? You like that? I didn't even know if that's a word or I just created it, but I like it. I think that's the way you should describe yourself to everybody. I am. I am a kitman. Josh the kitzman is on the phone of us. He took the girl that he wants us to call this morning, Nicole, out on a date to fly kites. Maybe, Josh, maybe you're not as good at flying kites as you think you are and it was a big turn off for her. You

ever think about that? I don't know what would be more disappointing if she just didn't like you or if she just thought you were a bad flight cuyer, which one wild hurt you more? Why would I go out with him? Is there? Then there's nothing you can think of that happened on your date that was odd. I just know, I don't think so. I thought it was really well all yeah, Josh, Just because I like to prepare for the worst. Here, what is the worst case

scenario for you right now? Oh? I guess maybe just rejection. I like as I really I really liked this girl and been so long since I've had even a date, let alone a good date, and it would be certainly disappointing them. But I am hoping to the best. You know. Look, you know all right, We're about to call her right now. You ready to go? Um? Yeah, okay, I'm ready, all right, man, good luck. I'm gonna doll the number. Hello. Can I speak to Nicole please? Nicole? This is Jewil from brook

and Jewil in the morning. How are you hi? Why are you calling? Just to check in? We check in with people once in a while to see if they've listened to our radio program and do a little bit. It's kind of it's called research. So quick question, what's your favorite Katie Perry song Teenage's Dream. Nice all right, will get to the point. The point is to just

do a little research. While we have her on the phone, we might as well, Nicole, I'm actually calling you for another reason then, to just find out your musical tastes. And if you listen to our show, you recently went out on a date with one of our listeners and you've been blowing him off and not returning his phone calls. So he emailed us because he wants to know why. Okay, who is it. Well, I'll describe him, and I'll describe him with one word, A kitesman. He's quite the kitesman.

Does that make sense to you? Oh God? Okay, he likes to fly kites. His name is Josh, and he's a listener to our show. Emailed us to get a hold of you and find out why you're not calling him back. Oh was it the kite flying thing? You didn't You didn't like the way he flew kites? I feel bad seeing anything. He's so nice. Yeah, but he's also the one that emailed us because he wants to know. Oh God, think about it this way. If he did something weird on the date or he's like doing something

wrong on the dating scene. You could be the one to at least help him out and let him know and be honest with him if nobody else will be. Yeah, okay, so you'll tell us, all right, all right? What did

you not like about him? It's nice that he wanted to do something different, wasn't just a typical movie date, But he like kept talking incessantly about kites, and it was just we talked to him on the phone because he wanted to tell us a little bit about your date, and yeah, you can tell he's really, really really into kites and he's trying to share something that he likes with you, and he's probably just nervous, and you know

that's what he knows, so he's most comfortable talking about that. Yeah, I just I didn't know that, like people actually flew kites and new the mechanics and engineering and all this stuff about it. So it kept trying to like move us in a different direction, like hey, you want me to go grab us something to eat, and he was like, no, there's more tricks I want to show. He was trying so hard to impress you. So you're picturing if you went out on another date with him and actually started

dating the guy. You'd play second fiddle to his kite, basically like you'll always be his girlfriend, but he's married to his kite. That's how he felt it would be. Like, Yeah, I mean, like the saying things like this was the best gust I've ever seen. But couldn't you reply to that? I like, and so I just didn't. But don't you kind of like a person who is passionate and can dirk out about something they love. I mean, granted he took it too far, but no, I mean, I think

it's great that he has passion. I just didn't. I just didn't connect to it. And it sounds like, you know, like when someone's like talking incessantly about a subject that you don't care about, you just want them shut up. Stuff like that. Why didn't you tell him that? Because he's tried to call you a few times, did you think about answering the phone or did you just send it a voicemail? And I want to talk to him,

I just couldn't. He's so nice. I just thought like, Okay, maybe I'll just not answer the phone a whole bunch of times when he calls, and maybe you'll get the picture and they'll stop. Well, I do have to tell you this. Unfortunately, you're gonna have to talk to him now because he's actually on the other line listening to everything you just said. Kind Nicole, Hi, would you think about what Nicole said? Man Um, I'm kind of a little a little surprised. I thought we were having a

really good time. I thought, you know, teaching or something new was was good and that's kind of but you know, my friends sort of said, hey, you should try to teach something new, and so that's that's what I went with. And Nicole, I just I just thought you had a I thought you had a good time. Well it's thought that I had like a terrible time. It was just that it wasn't about like us. It was about me watching you do tricks with a kite. Nothing I know

nothing about you. So yeah, I thought like if I, you know, tied around and do some tricks, you know, I just wanted to be impressive because you know, I can't like do hurdles or anything like that or you know, so for a football really well, so I thought maybe a trick with a type and that might be kind

of cool. And you know, I just wanted to impress you because you're so nice and smart and I just really liked I liked you a lot, really, and I just wanted to do something different other than like eat or something. No, I appreciate it. I really appreciate that you like thought of doing something different talking about the g force of something and mechanics are tight. And I wasn't even following what you were talking about, Josh, could you maybe see where you need to like ask her

more questions about herself? You know, I got I was so nervous that I thought maybe if I put a little energy into the kite experience, that you know, perhaps she might it might work out. But I guess I guess that was a wrong choice. I just I love I love kites. I think it's so great to like fly, and you know, we can't fly with our own arms, and so it's nice to like have a kite in the air. And Nicole, did you have fun flying the

kite for a little while? Um, I wasn't seen. Yeah, I've never done that before, so I'm not into it the same way. Yeah, right, of course, you don't have to be necessarily to date somebody, Josh, do you have other interests than your kite. Yeah, I do, of course, I'm not closed off to one single thing of course. Okay, kites are your favorite thing, but you definitely have Yeah, ka ka my favorite and my favorite hobby. But but I do like other things, Nicole. Would you be interested

in learning other things that Josh is interested in? Um? Or better yet, you could even teach Josh something that you know. Oh oh, I'd love that, I really would. Yeah, that would be that would be great. Well, then how about we send you out on another date. We will pay for it. Um, sure you would, right, I guess, I mean, I guess I'd be okay with finding out more stuff about Josh. Perfect, and we will pay for you guys to go out again. Josh. Congratulations, Oh, thank

you so much. Awesome. I look forwards to get to know you a little bit more, Nicole. That's good, Josh. That's a good first step. So Josh, maybe prepare some other things to talk about then your kite. Okay, you gotta step up big on this next day. I know I will, and I've got my notepad out right now broken juwel in the morning,
