Second, on this segment, we hear all sorts of strange stories about how people met and what magical circumstances and planets had to align in order to bring the two of them together, Yes, and then rip them apart because they're here with us? Is that? But when I read the email from one of our listeners, Evan, I was flabbergasted, fundled, I was thunder struck. Even The reason is because Evan claims he met a woman not online but out in

the real world in person. And Evan, I don't want to call you a liar right off the bat, because my therapist told me I need to stop doing that to people. But I will say that I'm very skeptical and I want to hear your story. But first tell us about this so called woman that you met out in the real world. What's her name, Brandy? To the real world? Were you in when you met her? We were the bar? People still do that? People still meet a bar's huh, Alexai, Yeah they do. I don't know

if it was last but they meet, right. So what drew you to Brandy at the bar? Yeah? So it was like a line dancing bar she was at with her friends. I was at with my friends. Yeah, as she caught my eye. She was cute and she could boot scoot and boogie really well line dance, you know, I don't know if that would be a turn onto Okay, Yes, so we were dancing. We hit it off, and I

got her number. You know, we couldn't really talk to you know, the music was loud, so I didn't find out a bunch about her, but I knew she was cute and single, and I figured, let me get to know her better, maybe have dinner. Wait, and she gave you her real phone number. She did? I deck did? She decked it back. I said, let's have a date, not like a cowboy date, just like a regular day weird Again, Normally it's like here's my Instagram, then here's

my snatchat, then you get the real number. I mean, she must have honestly been super into Yeah. It has to say something about the connection you had if she was just like, here's my actual number, call me anytime. So did you actually reach out and schedule something? Yeah? So we texted for a bit and then we scheduled a dinner and we met. This is crazy, I mean, I know, because it doesn't happen. Well, and like when you're at the bar, you're like drinking and that you know,

like maybe memories aren't as clear. So like what that first meeting was like, describe it. Yeah, well, this is my first date in a while that didn't start online, so I actually knew less about her than I would normally know about a person going in. Yeah, it's kind of nice having the online profile. It's like a cheat sheet before you go into like a big test. Yeah. I mean you could even see her like employment history, and it links to your Instagram too and everything. Oh well,

you could probably just assume she likes hiking. Yeah right, she actually does like hiking. Yeah, okay, her kayaker, so she's more outdoorsy and more indoorsy. It seemed like we maybe didn't have a toime in common, but we did find one thing jabond dover and it's something I'm really into. Actually, my favorite movie Jurassic Park O good choice. Yeah, I mean I I loved all the old ones so crazy at the time, those dinosaurs like ripping through and then

on all the new technology, it just gets better and better. Actually, the new ones were even cool. Dinosaurs eating the other dinosaurs. You rolling around their little balls. I'm into it all, Okay. I mean it's an easy segue to like, we should watch that together, right, Yeah, you can pick your favorite one. Even more, I think about what dinosaurs were like back then, just some were meat eaters that were plant eaters. Yes, yes, diet yes, just like animals today. Okay, no, I mean

even sorry, we're joking. That's cool. Yeah, it's good to be passionate. I'm curious, like, did you feel like the conversation was easier when you didn't know a lot about her yet? To know? I mean it was, there was kind of more to find out, but we didn't seem to have a ton in common. But I mean we got there eventually. I was still having a nice time

with her, right, you still had a chemistry? Well, I thought so, because after dinner I invited her to my place and she came, all right, how was it back at your place? So that's kind of why I'm looking for your help. She agreed to come back to my house, but then I tried to put the moves on her

and it didn't really work. She didn't spend the night, and since then, I've tried to get back in touch with her, and she hasn't really responded, and I mean I kind of don't understand, so like as soon as you got back to your place, like her attitude changed or I know, she still seemed friendly. It seemed okay. We sat down on my couch in the living room and I was kind of going for it, maybe trying to make out a little bit, and she didn't seem super into it. Did warm her up at all? Like, yes,

did you offer a drink? Did you put on a show? Yeah, you gotta have a vibe going chat, put some music on. No. I mean I didn't like mull her right away, and we I gave her a drink. We talked for some more. I mean, I don't think I was like rude. Okay, did you have like Jurassic Park on the TV or something like that? Yeah, that might have been a good well it sufinitely a romantic movie, but maybe it would have been something there was by a raptor. I get

kind of cool. Why they can open their mouths. Oh that was actually a really cool scene. I remember that. Yeah, I remember that. What she say when she left just said good night, night to meet you, goodbye. Oh oh, we haven't given us a lot to go on here, but we have started off with worse I can say that that's true. You're not the worst case scenario. Did

you know? We're gonna play a song, we'll come back, We'll call Brandy for you see if she's actually a real woman like you say she is, and then get your second date update right after this. All right, life signs away, right Jurassic Park line. Yes, Jeff Goldblin club, you are a true Jurassic Park fan. All right, we're gonna do it next. Hold on second. A few things in this world get me in the mood, like discussing the prehistoric diet of an adult alasaurus. Oh god, just

to think about that. That dude date Stegasaurs. He brachiasaurs and her name is sore. He put that thing in his mouth. And that's just a taste of the conversation that Evan had on his first date with Brandy because his favorite movie is Jurassic Park. So I don't think any of us were surprised that that led back to Evan's place. Was it all that alisaurus talk? Is that

what it was? Evan the got you her? There could be could be Unfortunately, things kind of died down shortly after that, and there was no dino play forevering that night. But we're hoping to maybe get some here with the second date update. And you know, you were kind of like, I don't know, hard to read in the last one. Are you excited about a second date with her? Or definitely excited about a second date? I mean, I think she's cute. We didn't seem to like have a ton

of comment at first, but I think that's okay. I think we can hang out some more and see what happens. I mean, I definitely like to try get so it's not a bad thing. He might just be intimidated because we have some dinosaurs working on this show, and he's like, oh my, I'm into it. Why are you looking at me? I'm just saying I have been here a very long time. I get it. Baleontologists keep trying to come into the studio trying to carbon date you. But that's something that

we're going to handle on another day. We're gonna focus on helping Evan. Here we go. I'm in a dial Brandy's phone number, get your second date right now? Hello? Hey is this Brandy? Yeah? Who is this? Hey? Brandy. My name is jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Okay, okay, maybe you listen sometimes maybe, I mean I've I've heard of the show. Okay, what's going on? Maybe you've heard of a segment we do on the show called a second Date Update. I'm not

sure what is this? Okay, maybe not? Because this is where we help our listeners get in touch with people after they've gone out on a date with somebody and they're getting ghosted. And so you went out recently with one of our listeners named Evan. I did go out with a guy named Evan. Yeah. Was it hard for you to admit that you went out with Evan? What? Because your tone was a little bit you know, oh yeah, shy,

like you were you hesitated for a second. Yeah, it's it's just that it was one of the more weird dates that I've been on. So it was weird. Yeah, weird is a weird weird like to describe it, just because you know, what he told us sounded pretty normal. Yeah. Yeah, he said you two didn't have a ton in common, but you did bond over Jurassic Park. Yeah, he was like really into it and At first, I was like, hell, yeah,

who doesn't love Jurassic Parks? Like they're certainly entertaining movies, right, But I think I wasn't really prepared for the extent that he was going to be into it and like demonstrate that love of Jurassic Park? What do you mean demonstrate? That?

Always sounds like something physical to me. So he had a salad before his main meal came, and he was like, picture being a dinosaur back in the time, and like there were plant eaters, and so he started like eating his salad with his hands as if he was a dinosaur, and like when his steak came, he like did the short t rex arms, you know, and it was like the whole thing arms or first two he like picked up his steak with his tiny t rex arms, took

a boy and made like a wow. I mean, did you want to like crawl under the table with embarrassment or do you want to crawl over the table and get into that mouse? Definitely not the last thing you just did. I would have been just humiliated. Like this guy's picking up why zalad like dressing covered? Why did you go home with him? Yet he did mention that you went back to his house, So you couldn't have been completely turned up. Okay, yes, so I just saw

it at a certain point. I was like, you know what, I think he's just trying to be funny, and I just think that it ended up being too over the top and like he didn't realize it and whatever. So I was like, you know what, when I first met him at the country bar, he was really cool, and so I just like, all overlook this, like he's nervous right. Well, and when you first met him, he had friends, so he just like proof that other people like hanging out

with him exactly other other dinosaur loving friends too. So what happened back at his place? So he said it was his house, He's like, back to my house. But like, honestly, it was more almost like a studio apartment. The only way I can describe it is like almost like a dorm room because he had bunk beds. Oh oh, does a roommate? As far as I knew, he didn't have

a roommate. But he's like, let me make you a drink, and if you after you have a couple of drinks, you know what, you can sleep in my daughter's bed because she's not here this weekend, so you can have the top bunk. Oh, and you didn't know that he was a dad. That's a lot to walk into. I'm still picturing if he made the drinks with dinosaur hands. Still, yeah, we should focus on the daughter. I feel like t

Rex would be a Manhattan guy, definitely. Okay, So I think the best thing that we couldn't do in this situation is just let you talk to daddy. Soaurus Rex himself because he's on the other line listening and wants to talk to you. Oh boy, having you there? Hey, Brandy, how are you? Hey? I've been better, I guess how are you listen? I mean the dinosaurs stuff. I was fooling around, But I'm sorry that you weren't expecting the

daughter thing. But I mean, yeah, that doesn't have to affect us right away or even I mean, I can date people casually and my daughter's away a lot of the time. Okay, yeah, I just again, I didn't know any of this. You've never mentioned it at dinner, so for us to show up, and the fact that you sleep in bunk beds and you are a grown man, it's just kind of like in the Dinosta. I just don't think I'm the right fit for you. What if you got rid? Can you? Is there any chance to

get rid of the bunk beds? Evan? Like moved too? You're you're asking for a child's bed to be described. I I guess I shouldn't be surprised at that. But how are you ever going to date Evan in bunk beds? I don't know, Like, like the kid could have a loft and at least you could have a double underneath it or something. I don't know. I just it's just so hard. It's just gonna be hard. It's hard to bring a woman back to bunk beds, like an adult

woman's supposed to be helping him trying. I'm trying to help the studios now that big yeah, yeah, maybe a pull out couch like that could be an ocean Again. I think the show somehow always finds a way to focus on the wrong thing. We shouldn't be trying to figure out how to redesign his studio apartment to make a relationship work. Don't don't try and fix him. Let's we're just trying to get a second day. Maybe he's just in transition, you know, like when you're transitioning into

a new life as a single dad. Maybe the studio is just for now. Yeah, sure, Actually no, it's a permanent thing. I'm kind of a minimalist. I really like small spaces. Makes me feel big like a dino. Wow, there might be some some extra room in that bunk bed for a third, if you're willing to give him another shot. Even though I did hear you say no earlier, I'm going to have short term memory like a dinosaur and ask again, would you like to go out with Evan?

We will pay for that second day. We'll also pay for dino chicken nuggets. I actually have a to those in my freezer. He can cook. Come on, Brandy, we'd like to send you on another date with Evan. Yeah, on us, and then you guys can go back to your place where there are no bunk beds. I'm guessing there aren't bunk beds at my place, but I would the entire time know that where Evan is going back home to has bunk beds, right Like, that doesn't eliminate

the fact that he has them. If you're good enough, he may never want to go back home. Yeah, you're a kid. Oh my god, what happened. That was a sad dinosaur grell because I guess this is not going well. I feel bad for Statosaurus. Feel guilty, now, don't you? Brook Broke and Jeffrey in the morning. Was it just me? Or during that entire second Date update, was anybody else picturing jeff Goldbloom lying on a side with a shirt open? I was, yeah, but you were too, I wasn't you

guys weren't thinking. I mean, if anything, I would have gotten more modern with like Chris Pratt or whoever. Yeah, okay, yeah, Bratt, No, I'm going with the og the original Stranger. Well, maybe that's what distracted me, and that was the reason that we couldn't get a second date update going for those two. So I'll take the blame. I think I think it was the dinosaur sound effects. Take the blame. But we were really working. Yeah, the dinosaur sound effects didn't help

in the Dinosaur. All the reenactments were bad. Yeah yeah, yeah, So no surprise, no second date for the two of them. Although the good news is Brooke, you might have a future after your radio stuff is done. You could help empty nesters redecorate their children's rooms to release the memory that kids were ever in there. Yeah, Brooke, it's not a bad idea for you if you want a date. Remember if you ever want to get a second date.

Update emailed the show. We'll call the person who wasn't calling you back Broke and Jeffrey in the morning.
