Second date, and whenever I go on a solo date, I like to spoil myself. And what does that include? Yeah, well, a Magnum bottle of wine, a box of Magnums, the chocolate, the chocolate ice cream bars, and then kicking my feet up on the couch and watching Magnum p I nineteen ninety one, Season four, episode six. It's my way of spoiling myself. But one of our listeners, Mark says he spoiled his lady when he went out the other night, and I'm definitely interested to hear about it. Mark, Welcome
to the show. Can I call you Magnum Mark? Though I'm a gentleman, but I will accept all right, I feel like that's the name you already got from maybe one of your ex lovers. But Magnum Mark, tell us a little bit about the date that you went on the other night. What happened. So here's the deal. I don't like to just like Willie Nillie through things. I'm the kind of guy who I kind of like to spoil the ladies that I go out on dates with.
I'm listening. Yeah, I mean Alexis likes that you're still single, So yeah, you're a gentleman. Yeah, I mean I I why why not keep it interesting? You know, so like by spoiling them, I means and surprising gifts. Why are you doing this on a first date? Like it feels like I don't know if I went out with a guy to be like already shaming something you don't you don't even know what he's done. Yeah, that's what I said. I didn't want be a pessimist, but I'm just trying
to you know, Okay, why by things up? I like to keep things interesting. I always have like full disclosure that this is what I like to do on my on my profile. Okay, Okay, so people know going in it isn't a surprise to your dad exactly, And so tell us about your day. What's her name? Where'd you guys meet? Okay? Her name is to Eva and I met her online. I mean she is gorgeous. She she you know who? She kind of reminds me of that tum that girl on the show. Do you guys know
the show Riverdale? You know the crazy one? I no, no, the other one Okay, her name, but like the really really hot one hot one on Riverdale kind of psycho. Yeah, I mean that's your to each of their own. So we're chatting for a while, like talking about our interests, and we got to talking about how stressful both of our lives have been lately and and just saying that we both need some relaxation. And light bulb goes off. That gave me an idea for a date. O, how
to relax? What do you? What do you? What are you planning that? So I asked her out, and I kind of teased her by saying that I had a little surprise lined up for us. Okay, that's exciting. So I get we're an address to meet at, but I didn't tell her what we were doing, and I even blindfolded her before she went to the door. This scares me a little. I'm sorry, you're meeting a guy you never knew. He's putting a blindfold at daw you and telling you to meet him at an undisclosed locations. I
don't sign me up for that. She knew that she was getting into this kind of a date, so I put this blindfold on her and I did a little reveal standing in front of the welcome counter. The welcome counter, Yeah, of what welcome counter at the Moon No it was a salot for a surprise spa day. Chances are good, like she probably google searched the address Trier to be totally That's what I would have done. She seemed shocked
and happy, like she seemed definitely excited. Okay, And then after the massages, I had another surprise, a special sushi dinner. So we sat down and we ate sushi together, and at one point I tried to get her to kiss me by putting a little glob of wassabi on my lip. When your voice got all deep and sensual, I thought something really good was coming here. And then you like that would burn. Yeah, I feel like I have to take the magnum out of your magnum mulk. At this point,
I said, do I have something on my face? And of course I was hoping that she would go in and kiss it off, but she didn't. She flicked it up with a chopstick. Thank someone's got stray food on your face. It is disgusting that someone else would want to put it inside their mouth. But you know what, the whole date overall seems like a pretty a decent date minus the wasabi. Yeah, he put a lot of effort out, how did you end things awesome? I mean,
we ended things. It was great, you know, we said our goodbyes, and it seemed like we were gonna we're gonna hang out again sometime, and of course I hinted at another little surprise for her for our next date. Okay, and we but we have, we have been chatting over the last couple of days. But I do feel like she's avoiding me. Okay, I don't know. Man. Do you think it's and I've had this problem. Do you think it's too many surprises, you're being too romantic, You're doing
too much too soon. Yeah, let's go with that. That's definitely it too amazing, too romantic. Well, but she has been responding to my text. She's just not making definite plans. I'm I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it. Yeah, Like maybe it's too easy, is what you're saying, Jose, Yeah, there's no challenge for her there. Let's find out. We're gonna play a song, come back, We'll call Ava for you, and we'll try and get your second date up date. Okay,
thank you? All right, hold on, magnum, Michael, I've heard a lot of tricks for trying to get a kiss on a first date. Yeah, but putting with sabi on your lips and saying do I have anything on my face? I haven't heard that one yet, yeould, but that's what one of our listeners Mark tried. It's a curious move, that's for sure. Yeah it didn't work. Yeah, maybe that's the moment that turned everything for you, Mark, not all the spoiling stuff, with the surprises and the gifts. Maybe
she just thinks you're too weird. Would you say you're weird? Mark? Wow? Because you know I'm weird. I've licked tabasco off people, places and things before, so I suppose I have an interesting sense of humor. Okay, it was supposed to be a funny first kiss. Besides the kiss part, it does seem like there's a lot of potential here. Yeah, you're really separating yourself from other guys. Bro, the things you're doing, you're spoiling her and then even the surprise kids. It
didn't work, but it was very unique. I mean, she's never going to be on another date, I'm sure like that. I hope so, or maybe never on their date with you either. But I'm just trying to be Mark, we gotta whack you sense of humor, right, Mark? Yeah, I know you're joking. I just I really I'm hoping there's another shop for a date. And I think what the boys are saying too is if if she's not the one that wants to go out with you again, you just keep doing you because you'll find somebody. Alexis. I
wasn't even finished, Alexis. You'll find somebody, Alexis. Yeah, we have a backup. We have a plan b ready for Thank you, ladies. It's good to get that feedback because you know, I do have a special little spark and I like to do these little surprises. And you're right, I will not stop good Okay, that's why they call him magnum Mark nobody. All right, I'm gonna diale of his number right now. We're going to see what she has to say. You ready, man, and let's just see
what happens. Yeah, you go on your phone number right now. Hello, Hey is this Eva? Who is this Ava? It's me jeff from the radio show Broken Jeffrey in the Morning, your favorite morning show, Same Energy. Why are you calling me? Do you know who I am? I listen to you guys, sometimes a huge fan. You are weird, so weird. I am just calling on behalf of one of our fans. It's even bigger than you. His name is Mark. Mark is a guy that you went out with the other day.
Uh yeah, something like that. What do he made something like that? It sounds like you guys had a really cool night that he put a lot of effort into. Wait he told you about our date? Yeah? Yeah, he gave us the rundown that he had a bunch of surprises find up for you with a spa day and a little surprised sushi dinner at this exclusive restaurant. Oh my god, he told you about spa Day. Yeah, sounds awesome.
I thought it was going to be a little sleazy if you got you guys, like a couple's massage or something, But he just sounded like he really wanted to do something kind for you. So when I think of spaw Day, I'm sure you guys too, Like you imagine plush white robes and steam rooms and hot stone therapy. It sounds delicious and they're all that good stuff. Right yeah. So first of all, he blindfolded me, which like should have been a red flag, right, Yeah, you could think that,
but you could also think fun. Yeah, so I was trying to be open minded and I was like, okay, I'll oh, let's this guy blindfold me whatever. So we get there and he takes my blindcold off, and where am I standing? Literally in front of one of those massage parlor rooms inside mall? Okay, like a strip mall,
one of those. I've had good massages at places like that. Yeah, but usually, like when you get someone in a spa or you go to a spa, it's like it's it's either its own entity or it's in like a fancy hotel or Yeah, but beggars can't be choosers here. I mean, you can still get a good massage in a place
like that. Well, like what is this? Like this this is like it's a it's a place in a mall and they have like little private rooms where you lie down or what there's zero privacy and like there's a bunch of people in one room getting massages on those weird like the chairs. Yeah, I've seen airport. Yeah, they usually like when you're on the go really fast, it's like, hey, I got like fifteen minutes before my flight. It was awkward. I mean, if you're gonna take me to a mall,
that does not entail me needing to be blindfolded. You know a bunch of people I guess led through the mall and nobody stopped him. All that was happening. Yeah, but wasn't it relaxing? It had to have still been relaxing. It was okay, Like I couldn't really relax because I felt so awkward. And then like at one point he paid for a foot rub and he was audibly moaning he wasn't that would be men? I love nice. One good thing about it was we were right back to
this pretzel shop and kept smelling. Mate. Yeah, dude, how did they get that sense so strong? I mean, honestly, so you were you were into No? I was not into it, Like it was too uncomfortable. But did you like the effort that he put in? I mean he did put in some effort. Yeah, I mean it may not have been exactly what you expected going into it, but like the surprise sushi, like that sounds pretty good. Yeah. Um, the surprise sushi came from his backpack and it live
from a convenient sport sig mean the sidewalk. Oh, this is like this is like the most romantic date one. You know. It was like he's like he's got champagne tis soda, you know. Yeah, yeah, it's made fresh daily every day they make it. Okay, okay, oh Mark, Yeah, hey, yeah, he has one more little surprise for you. He's been on the other line listening this whole time. Wow, the surprises just keep on coming. You never know. With Magna Mart's right, Eva, I can't believe you didn't enjoy your massage.
You seem to be having such a great time, and that place is legit. It's got like a four point two star rating on yell. Oh yeah, but you kept saying like get ready for a spaw day, Like I almost packed a duffel bag and then all of a sudden, I'm at the mall. Yeah. Oh they have like, you know, lovely fountains at the mall too. There's some nice smells. I think. I think, Mark, what she's saying is like expectations in reality. I mean, like her expectations were different,
and maybe you elevated the idea a little bit too much. Look, didn't you tell me that the massage felt good? Yeah? I said that because I didn't know what else to say. Everybody was there listening. Hey, But if he would have just said, hey, you want to go to the mall and get a foot massage and eat some sushi in the parking lot, would you have been daffing? Would you that that is definitely not my style. I would hope you know me better than that by now, But that
is your style, no joke. Next to the empty massage table next to me was a mom changing her kid's diaper. Let's place as family friendly, all right. I mean, just because I didn't spend a million dollars doesn't mean it was a cool surprise. Yeah. I mean, he's right, he didn't even spend twenty dollars. Does it really matter how much money I spent on massage? I mean, a good
massage is a good massage. You're right. I mean I think the most incredible part about this whole phone call is that Ava's still able to talk after eating that gas station susition. I know the guy who makes it. It is such fresh fish. He tried, He put in effort. He listened to what your needs were, Ava, he tried to meet those needs. I get it. Everything you did was like it took time. It took planning, but all
of your surprises were just not good Mark. I'm sorry, okay, but he did save the best surprise for last, and that's offering to go out with him one more time is fully paid for by this radio station. Yeah no, wait, wait to hold on, like you didn't even think for a second year, Like we painted a whole picture for you, and we have some actually nice gift cards that we can give to the two of you with like a
table and chairs at a restaurant. Yeah. I mean that sounds really lovely and I appreciate it, but I mean the company is still the same, you know, no offense, no offense. I think we're too late for that part. I think this is the reason chivalry is dead. You know, a great guy goes out of his way to make you happy and it's just not good enough for you. With his way all the way on the other side of the cinnabon, and you still said no. Yeah yeah. Broke and Jeffrey in the morning
