The second date of day. Weird coincidences, they happen all the time. Like I just found out the other day I'm sharing a birthday with the guy who does my oil changes. Is that just funny happenstance? Or is it the work of aliens?
Is it even that big of a deal.
It's just it's just too bizarre to just happen all by itself. And one of our listeners had a weird coincidence happened to him on his first date. We're aliens behind it. We're gonna find out. Eric, welcome to the show.
Thanks for having me.
Guys, all right, from your laughter, I can tell the alien thing.
Was it your idea or we're aliens behind that intro? You may never know. Sorry, it's a weird you out, Eric, don't carry you.
Oh no, no problem. But I get it. Aliens exists.
Okay, he's very confident about that. But we're gonna shift from the aliens and focus on your day. Unless you went out with an alien, who'd you go out with?
I went out with a human.
Woman, okay, or so she says.
Her name was Carrie actually, and we just met online.
Yeah. What was special about her?
Oh? Well, yeah, we chatted for a few days. I suggested drinks, and it was her response that was a little like weird to it, Like the night that I suggested. She said she had something going on, but she was like, okay with blowing it off to come hang out with me. Oh and she told you that, Yeah, she said it exactly like that. And you know, I was like, okay, as long as it's not important or anything.
See, I would think that's risky. It feels like you're making yourself too available, like you're too desperate. I would be worried, like what kind of message that said? But you liked it?
Yeah, I thought. I just look at us, her being eager, and that made me excited to go hang out with her.
Okay, So what did you do for your meetup? Exactly?
We met at a bar, okay, and when we got there, like we just connected. You know. I thought she was super cute, funny, and it was refreshingness. He's a nice, normal person.
Oh okay, I mean the standards low. Yeah, what do you think she thought of you?
I thought it was great, you know, like we were talking for twenty thirty minutes and she was laughing at things, and I didn't even think were funny, So I don't know, it felt to be like she was also having a good time.
Okay, okay, it got kind of.
Weird in the conversation though. We started talking about families, and I don't know, this is a weird coincidence came up like she had mentioned that she had this cousin and I knew the cousin that she was talking about.
Oh really, Oh my god, it's too serendipitous to just happen by accident. Did they really know each other from a past or was it Aliens?
She knows his cousin.
At least that's what he says.
Oh wait, you know her cousin.
Sorry, yes, yes, I know her cousin. You know, we just knew each other in college. Actually I haven't seen him by the seven or eight years, but we were good buddies at the time.
That's cool. Nice, nice, It's really cool, And I mean it makes for an easy like, oh my god, I'd love to see him. We should all go hang out.
Oh well, she told me that actually the plans that she canceled was a family barbecue and that her cousin was gonna be there, and so we should go check it out. Now, whoa.
Back?
Did you go? Then you would meet the entire family on the first date.
And that's what I kind of told her. I was like, isn't that weird for a first date, you know? And she said, no, don't worry about it. It'd be funny, funny. Yeah. Yeah, And so we went left the bar.
Did what was that? Like? Is that awkward?
Well? I mean I had a cool time. You know. We ended up chatting with the cousin. I ended up chatting with her little brother, who's like in high school now, so we talked a lot about classes.
Yeah, that's great.
And the family was like friendly, they're polite to me, so like I thought that the whole thing was actually kind of cool.
Yeah, I mean this all sounds so positive.
Yeah.
Did something go wrong?
So the way it ended because we had drove there together, but she was with her family, you know. I gave her a hug, said goodbye when it was time for me to like start hanging on out there, and she decided to you know, hang back and be with her family, which makes sense.
Yeah, totally.
And we talked about seeing each other again, and I thought like, Okay, this is going to be really cool and everything. But she's actually been sort of ghosting me.
Since then, sort of she responded at all.
No, not even a single box. I've been trying to reach out to her, but I can't even think of what it could be.
You didn't have any strange interactions with any other family members of hers, because I mean, she could have gotten a report like ooh that guy stay clear.
No. No, And I met some people, but mostly I just kept talking to the little brother and we talked mostly about school.
Okay, that sounds healthy.
And are there any like large gaps of time that go unaccounted for the barbecue? Was it daytime when you got there and then nighttime all of a sudden when you left, Probably because barbecues later in the day a large Now she's ghosting me, the mystery deepens. We're gonna try and explain these unexplainable things when we continue your second date update. Right after this second update.
You're in the middle of a second date update update, and we're gonna find out how the couple is doing right after you here Part two, let's look at the facts.
Eric went on a first date with a woman named Carrie Hey check. Carrie has a cousin who just happened to attend the same college as Eric. Huh, Carrie cousin college. That's three c's. You take three C and turn it upside down. Looks like alien footprints to me. Or I'm sure our listener Eric is seeing the exact same signs as I am, aren't you, Eric?
I just I just don't even know what's going on.
Okay, you and I should meet together and talk about other theories that I have at a library soon. But first we're gonna call Carrie for you and ask her to explain the unexplainable.
Thank you, thank you. Yeah, I don't know what was going on?
Can I ask you? Eric? Because I mean, good theory, Jeff, But what do you think?
I don't know. I think this is a reach. But like, maybe there's a world where I spent too much time apart from her barbecue, like it was a date, you.
Know, some sort of alternate dimension.
Differently, I know.
You mean that she was jealous of you, vibing with her little bro.
Or just not giving her enough attention on a date that we're supposed to be going that.
You know, we didn't think of that. I'm still leaning towards aliens are behind indeed, all because I don't want to subscribe to the idea that you're just a bad dater. But for your benefit, I'm hoping that extraterrestrials are behind this. But let's just call Carrie and get to the bottom of it all. Right, here we go. We are going to pick up this device and try and reach out to carry Let's do it.
Hello.
Hey, is this Carrie? Yes, what's up. We're a morning radio show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. Hey Carrie, Hello, It's okay for you to be skeptical of us. We get that a lot, but we're doing something on our show, trying to help out one of our listeners who's having a hard time getting a hold of you.
That's different for you, not for us.
We do it. I mean honestly, we do it every day.
Yeah, there's like littally thousands of these calls, but you're just one of the thousands, and we would like to put you back in touch with a guy that you went on a date with recently named Eric.
Yeah, yeah, I don't like him who.
You brought him to her? You brought him to your family's barbecue.
That's weird.
That he would even tell you that.
Well, I just I mean it in like you liked him at one point.
Yeah, because here's how this works. We talked to Eric before we called you, and we heard about your guys's first date, about getting drinks and the strange coincidence that he knew one of your cousins.
Yeah, so did you like him then during all that part?
I mean I did. I actually thought everything went great at the barbecue and I was going to hang out with him again.
What happened between Everything's going great and we're having a good time together at the barbecue too? I hate him?
Okay, she didn't.
Say I hate you.
I said I don't like him.
That's how it. Okay, Well what changed?
Well, okay, Well, everybody in my family liked him a lot, but my younger brother liked him the most. He's a freshman in high school, and we.
Heard Eric's a teacher, so it seems like it was easy for him to, you know, find subjects to connect with your little brother on. Yeah.
Maybe a little too easy, because I actually found out the reason you liked him the most is apparently Eric has agreed to write an essay for my brother in his English class because he's a teacher.
What a good guy, smart move.
Is that what your little brother said, because I highly doubt a teacher would do that, Like maybe your little brother got confused.
I don't know how he got confused, because he was so excited. He's like, I only have to pay him fifty bucks for it, his.
Money willing to help your brother with his academics. And that's a term of.
Teachers that poorly that they need to get fifty bucks from a high school kid exactly.
And it was like, what is this guy doing? Like I didn't okay that he didn't even tell me about that conversation. I'm pretty sure that's against the rule.
Can you believe your brother no matter what? Like, God, that's just wild to me.
We didn't hear why would he make that up? We didn't hear any of that from Eric, And I feel like we don't know the whole story here. We should probably get the rest of it from Eric himself, who's actually on the other line right now.
No way, Oh yeah, oh, he needs to be called out. If that's the case, Carrie, that's a.
Weird coincidence that he was just there on the other line.
Yeah, Carrie, Carrie, I hear you, and I'm not saying that you're wrong, but I'm shocked if you're saying what you're saying right now, you.
Didn't offer to do my brothers English let paper. Is that what you're saying you did? He's lying.
I'm talking to your brother at the party. He was just complaining on about how no one in the family's helping him, how stressful the class is, and how much you appreciate it being to talk to me, you know, being a teacher. I only took the fifty bucks because he insisted of being nice, and I didn't even take anybody. He just sent me a random like notice on Benmo saying, hey, I appreciate the conversation on what's coming up?
All right, Eric, Eric, I think maybe should take a breath because you're sounding a little bit defensive and nervous here. You're talking really really fast.
Yeah, I just had a really nice time, Okay.
I supposed to believe that you didn't ask for the fifty bucks. Did you send it back to him, and did you offer to write this paper anyway or did you just offer to help him, like, like, why would you think you're going to write the paper? Because even if you don't get paid for that, that's not ethical, right.
Yes, exactly, I only offered to give him some tutoring. I don't know how he phrased it to you. It sounds like he was saying, like someone's gonna do his work for him, but I'm a teacher. I would never do something like that. He needs to learn, you know, you know, because no one in the family was supporting him.
It's funny that that none of this came up when we talked to you the first time.
Eric, I didn't even seem like a big deal to me. I forgot it almost.
I want to believe you. I want to believe you the tutoring part. But it's just like the fifty bucks in Venmo makes it feel different. Yeah, it sounds like it's not the first time this kid's cheated. Also, i'd like to say.
Said, without being.
Asked, he's like, I know how this works.
Yeah. It seemed to me like he didn't want anyone else to know. And then I was just doing him a favor, you know, and like I really wanted to impress obviously you on our date, and so I said, like, okay, no big deal. Normally I charged two hundred dollars for tutoring.
I actually believe him now, Yeah, I want to trust it. I thought it got it for a minut I'm gonna trust him over a seventeen year old Brooks.
I think Brook's just trying to get the family discount for her key. I mean, it doesn't really matter what we think about it. It really just comes down to Carrie. I think that you should go out with Eric one more time.
Give him the benefit of the doubt, and.
We would pay to send you on another date if you're up for it.
I might be up for it. But Eric, I feel like you need to do something like apologize to my parents, or like give my brother the money back, clear the air or something before cloud again.
Carrie, I had a really good time with you. I'm excited to see you again. Done and done. I'll get that money right back.
Oh my good guy, Carrie.
All right, my little brother is going to be a sister.
You don't always connect all the dots, but finally we have the answers. It wasn't Aliens, it was Benmo. Stay tuned for the next Unsolved Mysteries. It's well solved mysteries on Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
I like that Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
It's been months since we got Eric and Carrie to go out again.
Oh my god, I thought they were so cute. I'm really hoping for a good update.
Well, since then, the numbers seem to have dwindled down to one because we just have Eric on the phone for an update. Update Eric, what's going on?
Man?
Is carry there in the other room? Just are you guys sharing one phone?
Now? Very funny? And now now Carrie's not here with me?
What happened?
Yeah? I mean things with you. Me and Carrie were like super cool, like great for me for a few months.
Oh so you guys dated for a few months.
Yeah, and it was like nice, you know, like we were making dinners together, we were meeting each other's friend.
Yeah, you're married. Now what happened?
I mean, her friends, I feel like just got into her head. They were always acting like I was sketchy for helping her brother with her writing assignment.
Oh my god, he never got help in school.
Yeah.
Yeah, the friends blessing goes a long way. What kind of woman listens to her friends?
That sucks? Man, I'm sorry, Thank you?
I mean I've tried to reach out to her a couple of different ways and haven't gotten anything.
Oh my gosh, but it sounds like you're still trying to get her back.
Yeah.
I mean we were good together and I just wish I could explain it to her.
Yeah.
No, feel like you're asking us for another second date updates?
Yeah yeah, I mean, if there's any way I could make an announcement over the airwaves, like everybody cheats now, I.
Thought you I thought you tutored. Are you a teacher?
Yeah? I mean, like what she was calling and cheating like that's just helping, you know a little writing. I was writing as so.
You did do it for him? There were done?
Get us up? Yeah, we'll hook you up, all right. Well, maybe she was honest good Man brooking Jeffrey in the morning.
