Second date, jose you used to work in the fine dining industry as a server, I did. Did you ever get a woman's phone number while you were on the job, Like she asked, Oh, what's the tastiest thing at the restaurant? And you were like, oh, you're talking to him. That is good sauce on the side, baby, just like the rest of the fish. I am out of season. Actually yeah. Yeah. One of our listeners, Ricky, sent us an email saying he met a woman while he was waiting on her table.

Oh my god. I always thought it was like corny to leave your number totally, that's smooth. Whatever he did, it led to a date, and so I don't know, let's ask him about it, Ricky, what's up? Man? Hey man, thank you guys for actually having me. Yeah. Absolutely, I'm hoping she tipped you as well as left her phone number, right, Yeah she did. It would have totally defeated the purpose if she didn't you. Yeah, here's your phone number, but

you're cheap. Yeah, what's her name? So her name is Lena Lenaday And so how did you guys used to work with a girl name Lena. Oh my gosh, she got fired for serving someone underage, Oh you're out to you kind of checks out. She could be out there hitting on waiters. Now, it could be like, no, it's not her. So how did the how did this interaction happen? So I guess she was having a girl's night with

a bunch of her friends. They came to the restaurant at work, ad and I'm I always feel really confident when I'm at work, So I thought she was cute and that kind of flirted a little bit, you know, and it seemed to be going well. But after they left, her phone number is sitting on the back of their receipt and bro, you're right, I worked fine dining. I don't know if you do, but we all we were like nice button ups and ties and stuff. So you feel, yeah,

I will. And then once you leave the restaurant, it's like, I've surprise you actually called the number. I think that's awesome. Yeah. I was too, because I'm honestly super nervous when it comes to dating at work. Yeah, this is a big leap for you. What would you end up doing for your date? So, um, we made plans to just go out and eat at a different place. Yeah, good choice. Yeah, And What was it like that first meeting, because now you're not doing the waiter thing, you don't have that

role of confidence anymore. And I definitely didn't what happened. Yeah, I was so nervous, like going to her house first. It was just hard to find her house. But what was strange was we were planning to go out and get dinner, but she actually invited me to her place first to get ready like together. See, and you know, I'm I wasn't expecting to do anything first day, but

I mean I would not have been opposed. Did you like actually go in and like have a drink with her beforehand or did you guys just you know, meet there and then leave. Well we did. We actually hung out of her house and we just kind of talked. We got to know each other and somehow got on the topic of ghost stories. O wait, hold on, like ghost stories or like real ghost stories because some people have experienced ghosts. Yeah, you know, we both talked in mind.

It wasn't anything crazy. It's just that I think my current place used to be haunted. There is something to ghost stories though, that like gets your energy going, It gets the adrenaline pumping, and that can be really good for a date. True. Yeah, you know, I kind of thought so too. I just told her that, like, I was cooking one day and something in my cabinet above me fell and hit my head, and that was just weird.

That just sounds like you don't organize or cabinets. Yeah, thing said ghost stories, not poorly constructive furniture in the house, right, Boy. I work at a restaurant because I want to be my own chef one day. I want to make my own restaurant. Yeah, so I know how to organize my cabinet. I mean, was she into that, like or was she like, oh God, and what is this cook thinking? You know? Yeah, I mean she, you know, she seems pretty into it

and whatever. But then after we told the story, she was like, yeah, we ended up staying at her house for like two hours. Oh whoa. Then yeah, and she was like, wow, we're going to stay here a lot longer than I thought we would. Okay, so you bonded over the ghost stories. Yeah, I guess so, because then she was like, I kind of doesn't want to go out anymore. She says she thinks that she wants to go to bed. I was like, oh, okay, cool, I can't tell if she's into this or not. Yeah, she's

saying I'm going to bed goodbye? Or is she saying I'm going to bed? Come here? It was the first one. Oh okay, okay, she said she wanted to go to bed alone, and I was like, oh, not cool. Like he didn't scare her with the ghost stories. She was fine with that. Why do you think she Why do you think she had such a change of heart? The thing is, I can't figure that out. I mean it now, I think it might just be that I'm super nervous. I mean, even that story, I don't know why I

told it. You know, Like, what am I doing rambling on about my house being haunted? Oh? Candy Man? Like just okay, So maybe maybe you just feel like you weren't at your best self, right? I mean, have you tried to get in touch with her since that night? Yeah, I've tried to text. It is weird since she initiated the attraction. She was attracted to she thought you were hot at one point. And it's also weird because they were telling ghost stories and now she has ghosted. Or

maybe it's not weird at all. Maybe it's totally normal. We'll just have to call her and find out. We'll play a song, we'll come back, and we'll try and get your second day up there right after this. All right, thank you? Hold on, Is it okay on a first date to tell a real life ghost story that happened to you? I don't know. Yeah, if it's like a ghost telling date. Yeah, you got to read the other side. Yeah,

because one of our listeners, Ricky, did that. He was in the kitchen when mysteriously a big jar of protein fell off the shelf and it hit him right in the head. Wasn't an antibody building ghost or was Ricky high on shroom? I mean he works in the restaurant industry, Brook. Yeah, those guys do a lot of stuff. I don't know. What I do know is that Lena is not calling him back after they kicked it at her apartment, and so he wants our help. Ricky, what's going on? You're

tripping right now? No, No, I am tripping over her calling me back. That was good. Also, I think the phone's gonna bite. Yeah, I mean, in the off chance that she was actually really tired and actually needed to go to bed, like I've been there before, did she give you any indication that she wanted to see you again? Not really, Okay, I swear I will text you in the I still say that if I don't mean it anyways. Well, the prospects aren't looking great, but we're still going to

give this a shot. I'm a dot Lena's phone number right now? You ready? Man? Okay? All right, here we go. Hello. Hey, is this Lena? Yes, this is Lena. Hey. My name's jeff from the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning, and I have a very exciting opportunity for you if you're interested. What do you think? Where are you calling from from the morning radio show? Sound like a scam call? You really have an opportunity for you? Well, we do. We have the opportunity for you to go out on

a date with one of our listeners. Where did you get my number from? Yeah, okay, she's not interesting. I got the number from the listener and you've already been out on a date with him, so that's good news. His name's Ricky. Oh much. Yeah, it's a print call. No, no, yeah, no, no. This is something we do call the second Date Update, where we help our listeners get in touch with people after they've gone out on a date with them. I mean, I thought she said this is a good opportunity. This

isn't soundly a good opportunity. We spoke with Ricky and he seems like a really good guy to us. I mean honestly, we we do a lot of these and Ricky seems super chill, Like I I would hang out with him on the weekend, go get a beer with him. He seems like a good guy. I'm telling you, like, he seems really cool. If you say no, then Brook's gonna jump on it. I just mean that, like sometimes the people who call in are kind of cree be or I don't know. He just seemed also, did we

did we read it wrong? Lena? Like, how did you feel about it? I mean, honestly, I wouldn't have gone out with him unless I was attracted to him. And he's a nice looking guy and he's really polite, so that I will agree that it's not something that you can easily fine these days, you know, right? Yeah, And he told us that you guys went out on a date which ended up being at your place the entire time, Like, was that on purpose? Uh? Dad? He told you all

of this that's weird. Um, well kind of. I mean I thought that equally meet at the restaurant, like I'd be late. I just figured come meet at my place while I finished getting ready. And why would you be late if you met him at the restaurant. I'm like always running late, I mean, and I just like redecorated, so I I don't know, I kind of want to show it off a little bit, I guess, So what went wrong? Why didn't you go to the restaurant? I

don't know. I kind of knew, like we we overstayed in my apartment like long than I had anticipated, but like an hour and a half in I already pretty much knew I had to like call it quick. Why. So we were sitting in like my living room area just chatting, and I went to get up to just refresh our drinks and popped my head in just the peek and just make sure he was okay before I came back, and he was like face down on the floor, crawling around, laying there like looking for something, like looking

underneath my furniture. What did you ask him what he was doing? No? I just that just gave me a weird vibe, like I felt like a little bit personally, Viole. He like, I felt like he was snooping because it was very apparent to me that he didn't drop anything. We were sitting in one spot, but he was kind of like maneuvering around in the living space, just hunting. Well, maybe there's a logical explanation for it. Maybe he was just down on the floor looking around for your ghost

in your apartment, your floor ghost couch. I mean his ghost hides up in his like cabinet where spices are, you don't know where they let the hide out, flour ghost in the dust bunnies bfs. Yeah, I mean, but he was like really looking, I mean, like looking steep behind the cow underneath the entertainment area. I mean, that's so weird. Are you dying to know what he was looking for? No? I know, I just thought it was crazy. It's like it felt like that that feeling you get

when somebody's looking through your phone. You don't give them informission to like someone's like looking through your stuff. Well you might you might not be curious, Lena, but I really am curious, and so I'm just going to ask him, Ricky, what were you doing snooping? Around on the floor of Lena's apartment. Oh my god, man, I really wish you were Yeah, because Lena, I didn't tell you this, but

Ricky's been on the other line listening this entire time. Yeah, Like, are you guys from a radio station or guys Buddy's like, who's calling? That's how this works. We have the listener on the other line. Yeah, I'm really sorry about that. I wasn't looking for anything. I wasn't snooping around in

your apartment. I recently got into this, this type of like a workout, more like a full body stretched thing where you you crawl on all fours, because moving around like that makes it to where you have to use every bit of your body to move effectively. I've got it in line. It's like I do it in my little Nike hit app thing, and it's like a bear crawl where you lift your knees up off the ground and then you do four too. You did that in the middle of the date. Yeah, I think I was

super nervous and it just helps me feel better. And so when you went to go get drinks, I was like, Okay, I think I'm messing this up. I just and then then I looked at your space. I was, okay, I could probably just knock a quick little crawl out here and just you're like a game before he goes in a date and playing. All right, So there you go, leading he was, he was working out for you. I honestly, I'm sorry. I've never in my life heard of such a thing and did like I work out. I swear,

I swear in my life. It's part of like the hit workouts I've been doing. Yeah, it's crazy, and Lena, I promise I would not have been able to spend enough money to get the radio station to live for me. Actually we're pretty cheap, would Yeah. I mean, like, listen, I'm not like a narrow minded person. I accept that there is some type of creepy workout. That was like, I just think that maybe next time you should ask somebody you could work out in their living room. I

don't know, I just be weird. Yeah that's hey, do you mind if I work out real quick while you make a drink? Yeah? I just didn't want to be weird. I didn't even think about how weird that would look for you, because I'm normally just at my house alone when I do it. And now I'm like, oh, yeah, I look like a thief on his first day that's not wanted to look for you. Yeah, were you missing anything when he laugh? Have you noticed anything gone or

anything not of like any material artifacts? I mean, the only thing I was missing was like my remote control for a little bit. But then I eventually found it, you know. Yeah, I thought it down there, but I didn't want to grab it. I thought that might be he's got boundaries, Lena. I really think you should go out with him one more time. And if you do, then we're going to pay for it, all right, because you're paying for it and you're vouching for the fact

that this weird workout exists. I am willing to take a free meal for it, all right. I know. Now you guys can go out to Jack in the Box and crawl around on the floor there together, Ricky, sound good. You're going to teach her? Oh yeah, that that way we can look weird together relationship. I think actually we should all get down on the floor right after this and get our absence. Oh yeah, I'm okay, I can teach you how Okay? Yeah, congratulations guy, Brooke and Jeffrey In the morning,
