Second Date Update: Smells Like Tween Spirit

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 into 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 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. That's a look at ye, I can use that. Okay. 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 putter. She's screaming for I feel her. So so there was 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 quick, didn't we send 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 got to 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 kind of like, oh yeah, I always wanted. No, it's really fun to today. 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 gut 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, Raphael, I mean with the interesting choice. Why is that a bad moment in your date? Though? Because the problem 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, I'm hyping it up. I'm like you're doing while playing this game. A group of tweenagers. They swooped in and started playing 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, in there and told nine pm or something. Okay, so again, why did that rule your date? You didn't get to play the game? Well, I did this thing where I stood awkwardly behind him, thinking that was 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. Show off. Okay, this is

the hill that you're choosing to die. Yes, the teenage newtont Ninja Turtles 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, it's only eight thirty, and she 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 journals and she's like, Dad, say, if we're not gonna play, I'm going home. Yea exactly. But I mean it 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 those the kids be injured, maybe killed the vibe. Kids always kill the vibe. I'm just gonna, you know, next time. Yeah, but I just

need to know 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 ask. 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 date up date. Okay, that'd be awesome. All right, hold on, it's here, Brooke and Jeffreys merch for a cause. Guy, let me tell us yes and one hundred percent of proceeds go to charity.

Oh that's fine too, we can the proceeds to it. I do not say it's broken Jeffrey dot com, whichever or t shirt dot com. Second Date A great show, great theme song, and an even better arcade game. Sure, 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 hogging 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 worthy generic because you're arguing with kids, so you don't want to say something like I had your mom and

your dad was watching. I just came to 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 called okay, A 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 y's that and that you pick Raffael out of all of them. Maybe anybody else with that was a Donna tell guy. But see, I'm all Michael Angelo. Yeah, okay, I don't even know.

I don't feel like we should discuss any more Tea Ninja Turtle character preference to your personality. I just think 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 sperbe that's the daddy. So let's just do this. Here we go. I'm in a dollar number right now. Hello, Hey, is this Vicky Sicky? Hey Vicky, My name is Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Okay, Um, hi, Hi,

whole show is here. Hey, how are you doing? Um? I'm good. Is there a reason you're calling? Funny you should have? 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 though, 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 gosh, Okay, it wasn't 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, what we do know 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 he 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.

What he told us is that there were some kids hogging the teenage be a 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's a little bit more to the story. 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 he happened in the bathroom. Yeah, oh god, yea. Sometimes all those those paper talis spencers 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. It was a slippery school us. 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, uh, 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 you like, what is he supposed to do? Hit him back? Those kids like him? No, I was just like, I'm done. This is definitely a red flag. Oh yeah, are you more turned off that he fought or that

he lost? I mean just the fact that the whole thing happened. Just yeah, given 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, Vicky. 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. Oh my 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 wasn't

so don't that's why. Yeah, weapon he would swim with them. How did that happen? How did that happen in the bathroom? I mean, they have handle mouths, 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 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 yeah, it was a

fight or flight moment. And here's the problem is I swung on one of them and I've met 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 make it better. They were attacking me. I was ending 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 boots. I was like, you

don't want 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 me in a headlock. I was losing consciousness and he was like just about to go home shorter than you. Parents stop their kids in taekwondo? 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. It could be scary to be provoked I just kids 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. You 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 size. Okay, yes, no, I'm 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 bugs and I'm not getting a second date out of it. James, the story just kids get one of the kids was a crutches. Have you not seen like Return of the Jedi? Like

you could spend that thing around and around. You should have gone rapie. Here we go, Jeffrey in the morning. I think we all can agree violence is never the answer, unless the question is who's hogging the teenage mutant Ninja Turtle Arcadere. No, the unwritten rule is you have free reign to swing on children. Okay, you tell me the rules. I don't know them. Listen, I will give it can be scary to be you know, jumped. Well, yeah, one time in the park I had I stopped a group

of eighth graders from fighting. Okay, so you were able to stop them with a baby on my hip. So I didn't know. I mean, there's probably easier ways that he could have de escalated the issue. Okay. They were kind of frightening, okay, kind of thing. You know that there's some woman out there listening who really feels bad

for James. It's the mother of the children. No uarantee that we're going to get text into seventy five nine two from some women saying he was the victim and he was fully in his right to defend himself and he's actually a hero. The kids are just trying to play their video game. Yeah, if he have not, like I know, but if he wouldn't have started the whole

thing to begin with, who's the kid? Now. It's a good reminder though, so all of our listeners, Hey, if you're going out on a date tonight, don't beat up any kids. No, your instincts might tell you to do it, but you have to resist. Yeah, anyway. I remember, if you want to get a second date update or other awesome dating advice, you can always email the show.
