Second data dating Brooke, how many horrible dates did you have to go on before you finally found your husband? Actually, don't answer that because I don't want to hear about the three twenty four of ym some good ones too. Actually, we just got ten texts into seventy five nine two saying the same thing. Please don't ask Brooke about her horrible dating. So I'm glad that we have someone else on the phone right now to share their bad dating
stories with us. His name is James, and in his email he said he's been on so many awful dates it was just refreshing to finally meet a woman who he described as somewhat normal. So, James, welcome to the show man Thy thanks for having me. I appreciate it. Everyone's thinking, where did you find someone somewhat normal? Yeah? Now, James, a lot of people when they write to us, they
focus on the date that they just had. Yeah. But I thought it was kind of funny that you mentioned a few of the bad experiences that you had before this to detail about it. The one that you said was you got invited by a girl to her church picnic. That is correct. She originally told me it was if I wanted to see an outdoor play and I thought, you know, like Shakespeare in the Park kind of deal or something like that. Yeah, and that wasn't the case at all because I get there and she's dressed like
the devil. Her face is painted red. Oh no, so not like a sexy devil like you were hoping for. Yeah, not at all. She is screaming, firing brimstone. Everyone's going to hell. It's kind of hot at day. What was the other one that you mentioned something about mini golf. Yeah, I went on on a date with a girl with mini golf. I don't know if she had like a medical problem of what, but she couldn't stop farting. Sweet, and mini golf can, like if there's not a lot
of people, can be really quiet. Yeah, the windmill isn't that loud, though she was trying to time it with the puttered she's screaming for I feel so so there is a lot of room for improvement. You're saying, tell us about the good date that you finally had. Who was that with? Her name is Vicky and I met her online. Her profile picture was pretty I mean, I don't want to sound shallow here, but that's what dating online is set up for right. Yeah, exactly, and she
totally looks like her picture. We just clicked, didn't we extend multiple messages back and forth? I mean, with your history, were you thinking like, oh my god, there's no way this sounds too good to be true. Are you a devil farm mom? Yeah, you gotta put yourself out there. Yeah, totally. So what did you and Vickie do for your date? We ended up going to a barcade. I don't know if you guys are familiar with that. I'm like, oh, yeah, I always wanted to go on these. No, it's really
fun to day. I like old school Atari games or any old arcade game or anything like that. So how was the arcade with Vicky? Do you guys have a good time? Yeah, dude, there's like this super awesome nostalgia factor going on. And yeah, this was I guess when going over the date. The only like hiccup is I came across my all time favorite video game, which is, uh, the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Yeah. I found a place like that by my house and my son is
obsessed with it. Now A good game, Yeah, dude, I kill it. Rafael I mean with the interesting choice. Why is that a bad moment in your date though? Because the problem this is is once I found it, I wanted to play it, but I saw it across the room and as we were getting closer to it, and I'm hyping it up, I'm like, you're doing well playing this game. A group of tweenagers. They swooped in and started playing
it before I could get to it. Arcade Okay, yeah, yeah, it's one of those places where I like, I guess kids can get in there and there told nine pm or something. Okay, So again, why did that route date? You didn't get to play the games? Well, I did this thing where I stood awkwardly behind him, thinking that would like weird die super passive aggressive. Yeah exactly. You guys didn't go off and play something else. You're just standing there with your date as these teenagers we're seven
bears and we're talking. But then the one kid just like looked over his shoulder and it's like, shut up. That's probably not a great look in front of your day. O. Man, I'm not going to back off and let these kids win because this is my game. I like show off. Okay, this is the hill that you're choosing to die yea the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Mountain exactly, And it was like,
you know what, let's drift on. So we then we left the barcade and we're on just get on the street to another bar, and she's like, I gotta wrap it up, and I'm like, dude, there's only eight thirty, and was like, I gotta get up early in the morning and okay, And it felt like an excuse to you, dude a little bit. You think I really wanted to play in teenage meeting in journals And she's like, that's it.
If we're not gonna play, I'm going home exactly. I mean, she could have been turned off a little bit because I was being very forceful and very adamant about like, let's play this specific game. And then though the kids be injured, maybe killed the vibe, kids always kill the vibe. I'm just gone next time. Yeah, but I just need to know if that was it, Just say that was it, and then like I will definitely make sure date number two will have no children at all. Yeah, Okay, well
let's call her an ass. We'll see if that's the reason. We'll play a song come back, call Vicky for you and try and get your second day out there. Okay, that'd be awesome. Second a great show, great theme song, and an even better arcade game. And our guy James just wanted to show his date how Raphael could do some serious damage with his front flips. But he never got that chance. And even worse than losing the chance to play the game, is he actually lost his date Vicky.
Now it seems like she may have used an excuse to get out of there a little bit early, but we're not sure, and James thinks it might have been because he got into a verbal spat with some unruly tweens who were hugging the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Machine. And I just have to ask you, James, what's the worst thing that you said to them when you were
in an argument? It was it was something really generic, because you're arguing with kids, so you don't want to say something like I tagged your mom and your dad was watching. It's like you've been playing this fight over and over in your head exactly, So it was something like I think I hear your mom calling. Okay, I probably should have gone with that first. Dis Yeah, I mean that would be a turn off for me. I never should have gotten into it with him at all.
It's lots that and that you pick Raffael out of all of them. May anybody else with guy? See, I'm all Michael Angelo. Yeah, okay, I don't even know. I don't feel like you should discuss any more teena Ninja Turtle character, your personality. We should call Vicky and see what she has to say. Maybe she's really picky about the characters too. Maybe maybe she's a say daddy. So let's just do this. Here we go. I'm in a dollar number right now. Hello, Hey is this Vicky? A
Hey Vicky. My name is Jeff from the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. Okay, um, hi, Hi, whole show is here. Hey? How you doing? Um? I'm good. Is there a reason you're calling funny? You should ask? Yeah? Are you familiar with the show at all? Um? Yeah, I definitely listen. Um cool, I'm just a little nervous right now. Okay, Well then you might be familiar with the second date updates. Oh yeah, okay, okay, laugh. Is
really cute that Vicky? Good job, it's cute. Well, we're calling obviously because one of our listeners went out with you recently and he's been having a hard time reaching you over the past week. Remember James, Oh yeah, oh goshay. Was it as fun for you as it was for James? It sounds like, I mean, I don't know how much he's told you, so I don't want to like, Okay, Well, what we do know is is you guys went to a barcade, had some drinks. We did. Yeah, we know
that he was really interested in you. He thought you were cute, had great hair, fun personality. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean did you think he was cute? Yeah? I definitely thought it was cute. Um, we were having a fun time. There was this kind of like a moment that was a little bit of a turning point for me. Um, is that anything to do with a group of superheroes? Turtles?
All right? So you know a little bit about it he told us is that there were some kids hogging the teenage meaning Ninja Turtle Machine, and so it kind of exchanged words and just went somewhere else. But I mean, to be fair, we we told him that that's like I mean, for Alexis and I anyway, it'd be a pretty big red flag if he was arguing with teenagers or look. Yeah, yeah, not a good look. There was a little bit more to the story. Oh really, what do you mean like he did more than exchange words
with him. I mean I think he thinks I don't know about this part, but yeah, like he so he went to the bathroom before we were going to leave, and he came out and like had a cut on his lip. He looks kind of like bruised up and stuff like he had something had happened. And in the bathroom. Yeah, oh god. Sometimes all those those paper talis spencers all the time, they shoot him out real quick. Yeah, but
I mean that's what he said. He said he like flipped and accidentally bumped his face on the stall, and
I was like, are you that drunk? First of all, huh, I mean they don't I will say a lot of arcades and not very clean bathrooms, a slippery flo Well, what he doesn't know is uh, like right before that, a few minutes before he came out, some of the middle schoolers came up to me who were playing the Ninja game, and they they said, hey, tell you your boyfriend if he mails off again, We're going to beat it worse than we just did. Oh they beat him
up in the bathroom. I think so, because like in the moment, I was like, all right, whatever, and then when I saw him, I was like, oh my god, he just got beat up by a kid. Oh my god, what is he supposed to do? Hit him back? Kids like him? No, I was just like I'm done. This is definitely a red flag. Oh yeah, are you more turned off or that he lost? I mean, just the fact that the whole thing happened. Just yeah, he's the
adult in the situation. Then you're gonna like fight with some middle schoolers in the bathroom, and then you're gonna lie about it. Well, that's pretty embarrassing to admit. I mean, so look, here's what we know. We know that there was obviously some verbal stuff with the kids at the arcade. But yeah, you're saying you didn't actually see anything yourself, nicky. So we need to go right to the source here and just ask James, you throw hands with some middle
schoolers or one normal questions? Yeah, oh no, oh yeah, James, Well I didn't know they talked to you. Ni Oh my god, oh god, it actually happened. Okay, okay, well they were. First off, there were like seven of them. Okay, well okay there listen, listen. There were three of them and one of them was aren't crutches, so don't that's yeah, he learned weapon. He would swim with them. James, how did that happen? How did that happen in the bathroom?
I mean they have handle mouse, That's what happened. So I hadn't defend myself. Did you ask them to fight you in the bathroom? No. I went into the restroom to do the normal things, just to leave myself, and then all of a sudden, I get sucker punch from behind with a clutch. That's when they start running their mouths and I square up and I try to fight. Yeah, it was a fight or flight moment. And here's the
problem is I swung on one of them and I missed. Okay, so you actually tried to throw a punch at one of these kids. This is not making it better, Like you're telling it in more details to make it better. They were attacking me. I was defending myself and I was defending you. You were You were not defending me. I was defending your honor. I was defending your honor because these kids were saying you had small boobs. I was like, you don't want it, and what's wrong with
small boobs? Thank you everyone. You guys are laughing and thinking this isn't serious, but it was. It was really serious. He had in a headlock. I was losing consciousness, and he was like, is about to go n shorter than you? Parents? Stop putting their kids in taekwondo happens? Are you exaggerating, James? Like? It feels like this story just keeps getting more out
of control. You have been there like I was. It was a desperate situation and I was in a point where I was willing to do anything I could to get out of it. Yeah, it could be scary to be provoked. I just says, running around you no matter how big they are. I think there was only three, but yeah, I'm just hoping now that we've heard the full story, can you hear where he's coming from. He was defending your honor, defending himself, and maybe he deserves
a second chance. We'd like to pay for another date with James. He never connected any punches and for the record, for the record, nobody here thinks that you have small boobs. We think they are just the right size. Okay, yes, no, I am not interested. This thing is even worse than it was when I heard from the kids. This is ridiculous. Man, I get beat up by a mob of bug and I'm not getting a second Dari out of it. James, the story just kids. One of the kids was on crutches.
Have you not seen like Return of the Jedi? Like you could spend that thing around and around. You should have gone, Raphael on, there we go, Jeffrey in the morning,
