Second d D. We all want to hit redo sometimes in life. Oh yeah, like Alexis wants to hit redo on her eyebrows. I'm sorry. I want her to control Z. I haven't told you that yet, have I, Alexus? No, Jeff, right now, I have a plan. Don't worry. We'll talk about that later though, not about when it comes to an awkward situation that happens during a good date and you don't want to redo the whole night, just redo that awkward moment. Yeah. Yeah, that's why Scott emailed us

for help. And Scott, I know you and I have talked about Alexis's eyebrows, but let's not focus on that right now. All right, We're just here to talk about your date. No idea, bro, talk was going like that these days? Yeah, yeah, let's talk about your date, Scott. Who's the girl that you went out with? Okay, her name's Erica. Okay, normal eyebrows? No, not at all? Oh kidding. So what what did you and Erica do for your date? Well? We met online and we went to dinner. Okay, nice place.

Everything's going great. I go to wash my hands and I came out and I had like a napkin slashed paper towel in between my fly, like it was just hanging Wait, wait in your pants. Yeah, because I poking out through the zipper. Wait, do guys wipe that on his lap because he's a gentleman at dinner? And then it got caught in the zipper. That's no. It was a nice restaurant, so they don't have like paper towels.

They have a nice linen tight thing. So after I washed my hands, I have it in my hand and I noticed my fly was still down, so I zipped it up and I just walked out and it was stuck in there. Okay, it was, And I just walked out, didn't even know it. And I'm about halfway and I see her face look at me and then look down and then look back at me. He's about to show me the most inappropriate magic trick. Either that or you're feeling real confident at that point. Oh oh, you could

see it? Wow, looking down there. I get that thing where you turn around because obviously she's looking at something else. Yeah. I was like what And then I looked down and I see it, And what do you do? I should have turned around, just pulled it out. No, no, it pull it out of the zipper, like it can't be that right hard. Here's what popped into my stupid brain. I thought, why don't we pull it out like a magician, just keep being being keeping and pulled it out, went

up like one of those never ending scarves up your sleeves. Us. Interesting, she impressed. She started laughing. Maybe you knew your audience. You know. I think she thinks that I did the napkin thing on purpose to be funny. But yeah, I did not, but I totally went with it. I'm like, all right, let's go with that. Yes, I'm hilarious when it comes to napkins. Yeah, you painted this like it was this horrible moment, but actually it looked like it worked to your benefit on the date. Yeah, I'm not

done yet. Oh. So I invite her back to my place, Okay, okay, and she says yes. I'm like, all right, sweet. I opened the door and standing there is my dad, Oh at your place, at my plate. No, oh, why is your dad inside your apartment? He just came over. You didn't tell me come over? Okay. No, obviously she's gonna believe that it's your house. She's gonna think unless it's like a one bedroom apartment. No, I've got a two bedroom. So I was like, Dad, what are you doing here?

He just I just wanted to come visit. Oh she's pretty. Who's there? I hope I'm not ruining your game? So yeah, what was Erica's reaction? Could you read that she was a little uncomfortable? Like, Hi, Hi, Yeah, yeah, she'd be shocked. I mean she could obviously sends how shocked you were though, too, right? Yeah, I hope so, And there at one point I decided, all right, let me get some drinks. Maybe I can ease the pain. And he's gonna leave soon. So I

left them alone for I don't know five minutes. They were talking and I came back and her vibe was completely different. She's already meeting the parents, Like, yeah, it's your dad, one of those dads that is like super embarrassing, likes to tell horrible stories about you. I mean like every yes, he's the quintessential dad joke. Dad, Now we know where you got the napkin trick idea for apple tree? There? How did how did you and Erica and your dad

leave things? So I'm trying to give hints, all right, Dad, good to see you, Good to see you. He just plops down on the couch. It's like, all right, let's watch a movie. Do you see I made two drinks, Dad, not Erica, Just like you don't want I've got an early morning. Yeah, I'm gonna take off. I mean, you can't blame her. No, I'm sure you wanted to leave too. Oh I did, And so I start walking around and he goes, no, we're about to watch Harry Potter come back. Dad. Okay,

that would have worked on me. Yeah, alright, alright, yeah, did you get a chance to apologize profusely? Um? But I have not heard from her since. Okay, that's a hard dad hill to climb up up Now. I see why you would want to redo a few of those moments from the night, And we can't really redo them, but we can at least try and get you a reado on a second date. So we're going to play a song. We'll come back. You want to call his dad two three way in or I think we've dealt

with enoughing Barson moments. All right, let's just try and focus on some positives. We'll call Erica and try and get your second date update, right, after this the surprise Dad, That's not just the name of my go to move for my bingo dates, it's what actually happened to one of our listeners, Scott recently during his first date with Erica. Yeah, because they went back to his place at the end of the night, and who was waiting there inside the door but his old pop ready to crack a bruski

and watch some Harry Potter with his boy. So obviously that situation put a damper on the romance and ever since, Erica is not responding when Scott reaches out hoping to get another date. So we're going to step in kind of like his dad did and try and get that second date for him. Scott feeling ready for this? Oh yeah, that was a painful recap. Scott, how are you feeling. I'm I'm hopeful. Okay, that's good, but a little nervous. Yeah. Well, you know, all of this was out of your control.

I think anyone would be empathetic of that. You know, we all have cringe worthy parents. Oh yeah, and before we call her, Scott, you said that you noticed Erica was talking to your dad for a few minutes while you were in the other room. Did you ever ask your dad what he said to her? I did. I was saying, Hey, what what happened to you? I don't know, we just made some small talk. Oh and he just

took that at face value. Oh god, I mean there's no way that your dad would ever swoop in on your dates, right, You're thinking, no, no, no. I thought he was just going to tell like a terrible story about like how we got stood up on prom or something. Or maybe he asked her like if she was in griffindor slitherin or something. Let's just call Erica and find out what happened. We're going to die the number right now and see what she has to say. Let's do this,

you ready, Scott? All right? Let's do this for better or for worse? All right? Here we go. Hell, hey is this Erica? Yeah? Who's this? Is jeff from the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. We're looking for the biggest Harry Potter fans in the area. Um, you a Potter head? Oh god? I like it, But I'm not like a crazy sun Wait what is this about? Yeah, that's just a side question. The real question that we want to ask about is your date? The other night

with a guy named Scott. Oh yeah, probably, I mean that's okay. It's probably a hard date to forget. We're doing something called a second date update. We're trying to help Scott figure out what went wrong when you two hung out together. And to be fair, Scott definitely has some ideas already. Or maybe nothing went wrong and it's something totally unrelated to that night. We can focus on what went right. I heard he made you laugh. That's a good yea. I'm not understanding the second deep thing,

like he was just wanting to know my story. Yeah, because Scott told us his version of the story and he knows that afterwards you haven't been responding to him, and he's just trying to figure out the reason why. Yeah, I don't know how much he told you. He told us about a little napkin trick that he showed you and that you thought was funny. Yeah, it was pretty risky. Um, Like, I don't know how if he knew that, I would laugh, Like, you know, he came out in the bathroom with like

a tissue and his zipper. But the risk paid off, right, great risk, great rewards. I thought it was hilarious and like I really really like funny guys. Cool. Good. Yeah, so I'm going to fast forward from dinner to Scott's house. What was your reaction when you saw his dad was waiting here? Yeah, because we heard that. Yeah, you can be honest. Well, so originally when I said I go back to his place, like I actually was totally open

to hook up with him, but that's gonna hurt. But when he opened the door and his dad was there, Oh my god, I can't tell you how awkward that was. Yeah. The worst part is I knew his dad. Wait, what, you're his daughter from another secret family? When we tell Scott that his dad has another family, let her talk. What do you mean you knew his dad? He's my gynecologist, is your special doctor. So he clearly recognized me, and like I knew him like I had just got in

like a couple of months ago. Good news, he recognized your face and not. But he's a professional. I mean, like, come on, this guy's a doctor. I yeah, Oh my god, it's like this super awkward. Things gonna be worse if you have to go in for an STD after Yeah, oh my god. No, I'm trying my best, and at one point, like I just asked Scott to get me a drink. Yeah, And like I talked to the dad

and he's like, don't worry, it's patient confidentiality. Yeah. And I just asked him like if he could help me, like get out of the situation, if he can just say, like, hey, Scott, let's watch a movie so I can just leave you your way. Too awkward. I guess dad wasn't as clueless as we thought he was. He was actually trying to help her out. Oh my god, that is so hard. I guess the really clueless person is probably Scott, who we should let him know. Ericas on the other line

listening right now and wants to talk to you. Wait wait, wait what it's okay there. I thank Scott. What is going on right now? Oh god, why couldn't your dad have been a dentist? Oh god, Oh my god. Like I'm mortified, But honestly, Erica, I'm kind of I'm very mortified for you. I'm so sorry. Oh yeah, I means it was really really weird because, like I said, i'd been there a couple of months ago, and like he's been my gynecologist for a while now, so like he

knows me, know, you. I know. I know he really knows you. I know. Oh okay, Scott, this is a random question, but I think I might also know your dad. What does he go like, doctor Butterball? Is that not him? You are not okay if you're looking for somebody new Butterballs your guy? No, Honestly, Like, I went and saw a guynecologist ones who during the exam was like, so, I listened to your radio show all the time, and he was trying to, like, you know, make small talk.

But it's just I need separate lives there, and I would assume you need separate lives when he comes to dating and your guy. Absolutely. Maybe it's only fair Scott if you visit her father's proctologist and then the two of you could even Okay, I know you guys are laughing about this, but I'm in shock at how coincidental this is. Yeah, for sure, I feel like, Erica, maybe you should have at least hinted to Scott like something was up, told him something. I wouldn't put this on her.

I mean, like, what was I going to say, like your dad see my ankles and stirrups. Oh okay, I'm not graphic. It's what every woman has to do. But if it's any consolation, he said, he'd give you the green lights. Green light? You mean, like, I don't know what that means, Like you have to ask your dad, Scott, who that just got creepy? I like, you need to switch your kind of college. That was weird. I didn't see it as a good thing. Yeah, Dad gives the

thumbs up approval whatever whatever finger he approved. I'm just saying it sounds like maybe there's a chance here, And the only way to know is to ask Erica, would you like, let's see, Erica, would you like to go out one more time with Scott? We'd pay for I never said this. I mean I did really like him, but dude, go out with him. Dump the doctor, get a doctor. I couldn't get a new doctor. And like the green light thing, maybe it just means I don't

have any STDs or anything. No, girl, No, it doesn't matter, doesn't matter. I really want you, but I don't think it's the best idea. Scott. I mean, how do you how do you feel about that? Hearing that? Um? I gonna be honest, this is the one time in my life that I am one so happy that she said, no, I know you saw you saw Erica and your dad whispering. Were you able to read her lips? No, that's not good. No. Yeah,

um yeah, I'm I'm gonna hang up. Is that okay? Yeah, hold on before you go, doctor Butterball is on the other line, and that's Joe. Would that mean but like, yeah, I was nice talking to you. I guess it wasn't fucking Jeffrey in the morning.
