Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, we've got a brand new second date update for you today. Thanks so much for being here on the POP Podcast. Mm-hmm. It's Brick and Jeffrey in the morning.

And I am so curious to see how many people think this would be a deal breaker. Yes. What happens in today's call? Ooh. I can't tell you. I can't tell you because I don't want to spoil the surprise. But I'd actually be fine with it.

Yes. I have been fine with it in my life. I see that for you. Alexis and Jose, maybe not so much. Not me. But before we get into the brand new call, what do we got for comments today, Alexis? Oh, well, DeathKill22 said,

I listen to this every day at work and it's the best part of my work week. I always hear the comments get read out loud, and I'm hoping I can be on one. I have merch ordered and it's on the way. I always hear the comments get right out loud. And I'm hoping I can be on one. I have merch ordered and it's on the way. I love you guys. Yay!

It's a fame, Death Kill. Yay! What a lovely name. Are you hoping for bad dating to be on the show? Is that what we're hoping for? Exactly, and thanks for ordering the merch. Please tag us in a photo when you get it. It is only available for a limited time.

So again, the link to order that merch for a cause, all the money going to charity is in our show notes. And let's get this thing started. Yeah. Second date update. I've got a genuine question. Are coffee dates good? What do you mean?

Like good in what way? Well, I just mean some people can interpret them as being too casual or a sign of low interest, okay? Bad that I just feel like they're too sober, but that's Maybe a makeout coffee make you leave with bad breath. What things most bars are too sober? with bad breath. Brooke thinks most bars are too sober for her liking. So I don't know. You guys wanna go to the vodka factory?

Yeah. But you know, I think that's nonsense because these days you don't know which weirdo you might be matching with on the apps. That's true. So grabbing coffee is a safe, low investment date in terms of time and money. Plus you get to see if there's a little romantic attraction when you cheers your macchiatos and your pinkies touch. Don't do that.

Wait, if she's getting a macchiato you don't match her. You would order that. Yeah. Attraction when you cheers your macchiatos and your pinkies touch You would order that You would get a more like girly drink and she did my coffee cup linger on your coffee cup Something's going on But that's exactly the idea our listener Craig had not with the macchiatos in terms of a coffee date That's what he did the other day Craig welcome to the show Thanks for having me Somebody needs some So Craig thanks for being on with us tell us about the date you went out with the other day.

Who's this lady? Juliet is her name. And I heard the intro there and I agree. Coffee dates are good. You can figure out a lot about a person's foundation. Just on a date. OK, so it sounds like just even you saying that you're looking for something more serious in the dating world right now. Am I assuming the right thing? I think it's time to settle down with somebody rather than do all of these hookups all the time. Yeah.

OK, cool. OK. That's awesome. Get to know somebody rather than get drunk with them immediately. You had broke for a second and you lost her again. I don't know why you can't do both, but OK. I'm trying to change. Yeah. Yeah. Well, drinking and hooking up, you really don't have a lot of substance. When you're sober, you get to know someone,

you're building a better structure. No, drinking and hooking up, you have too many substances. Yeah, that's a good one. Okay, you could just do one. So you said Juliet was this girl's name. How did your meetup go at the coffee place? Oh my God, she's good. She's beautiful.

She has beautiful hair, beautiful eyes. Oh, that's nice. She's ambitious just like me my goal is not just to be regular millionaire I want to be a multimillionaire. Oh all right and how are you gonna do that? Do we want to hear that right now? I have a... I'm just curious. Brooke wants to steal the idea. I mean, some people will say it, but they don't actually have like an action plan except for like buy lottery tickets. Investing investing is the future. I just got to stay the course and be diligent about it. OK. OK.

Did you tell her that? Like, was she impressed? I think so. I think she was impressed. And she I said, I want a mansion and a lake impressed and she I said I want a mansion in a lake house She said she also wants a mansion on a lake on the lake I want to hit the median income Yeah, you'd be surprised about how many people don't care about making money or any of that stuff They just want a vibe and have a good time with somebody I think both would be good. Yeah. All right, so she was into it. She was into it and we're just getting to know each other

We talked about our jobs. She does marketing. She's an assistant marketing director and corporate. She works corporate I thought that was the coolest job. Okay So and she doesn't even want to do that forever Like she wants to get on to even something bigger which I thought was exactly my vibe And you guys are talking about like big future stuff like where you see yourself like it's a lot happening at this coffee shop Is that why coffee is more like a business lunch kind of thing? more like a business lunch kind of thing. It's kind of a professional vibe when you're in there talking about business strategies and things. Did you spend the whole time in the coffee shop? No we went on a walk. I said do you

want to go for a walk? She said sure and we took our coffees to go. We ended up at my car actually and we're just we sat in the car and talked about life for a while She trusts you I don't know why getting into a dude's car Getting into a man's at least he gave her the coffee first Yeah, we didn't go anywhere we just sat and hung out in the car and continued chatting I know I'm saying it's a sign that she trusts you. That's all that's all well I thought you trusted me and then I offered to drive her to a car and she was like no I'll just walk It's pretty close. I was I thought that was like a little cold. Oh really

I mean, I don't know I think she may have just said that not even thinking that you would want to drive her Yeah, that was another moment of connection I mean, we've heard a lot from you Craig, but maybe it was too much talking for Juliet Question did you do listening to yeah, of course But we it was the whole day was seamless I felt like we really connected and I don't know why she hasn't taken me up on a second date Maybe it felt to her like there was a lot of discussion and not enough like romance

Yeah, like did you once put whipped cream on her nose? If you did, that's the reason you're not here. Okay, well then we eliminate by process of elimination. Alright, we've eliminated one of the wrong things that could have happened. And confirmed I'm never gonna have a girlfriend. Let's see if we can call her and figure out if there's anything else when we come back and reach out to Juliet to get you your second date update right after this, okay? Thank you. Alright, now hold on.

Second date update. If you're just joining us for part two of the second date update, we've got Craig on the phone and Craig has an interesting strategy when he goes on dates. He likes to talk to them. Oh. Which, personally, I'm more of the silent mysterious type.

Oh. Let my body do the talking. You just sit and stare? Or he just like, dance and let her. Or let mysterious type let my body do the talking Or let someone talk to my body I'm not opposed to that That's why I admire Craig because on his date He and Juliet spoke about their ambitious dreams in the giant mansion by the lake that they hope to own together someday Well, they didn't say together. They both want one. That would be the plan. And you know what, how cool would it be to do a live update update five years from now

from Craig's private island in the Caribbean. Ooh, Craig. See how his investments went. Yeah, I see that for you, Craig, I really do. Let's manifest it today. This is exactly my plan, you don't have to tell me. Okay, good. We need to work on an Italian accent already, huh? But we're in the Caribbean. Let's manifest it today. This is exactly my plan. You don't have to tell me It could be like an Italian design

Rich people have Italian designs and it's a fancy Italian cars out in the We got you I want it all. Well cool, hopefully when all that happens one of us can live with you in your giant mansion. I don't do floors just by the way. I don't mind, I'll take the bathtub bro. But in the meantime maybe we'll find you your future partner here

if we can get Juliette on the line and get her to answer. So I'm dialing it right now. Good luck guys. Good luck, guys. Thanks. Good luck to you, too. Here we go. Yeah. Hello? Hey, is this Juliette?

Yes. Oh, hi, Juliette. Hi. May I ask who is calling? Well, my name is Jeff. I'm from a radio show you may or may not be familiar with It's called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning Check in at Brooke and Jeffrey

The YouTube is really good Why are you guys calling me to recruit social media followers Just stage mom in the whole show The thing is julia we're calling because somebody reached out to our show asking us if we could try to get a hold of you A guy that you went out with recently named Craig. He called about me? Yeah. Yeah, he's excited about you.

Because what we're doing here is a segment called the second date update. And we're just trying to help get him some answers. Because you're not responding to him after you guys hung out the other day. That's right. That is right. Okay, so we're on the same page there. I guess what we'd like to know is what was your perspective of the date? Because according to Craig, it seemed like a really good time. I think I just

have some fundamental differences with Craig that are just not going to work out in the long term. Fundamental. Yeah. Dude, that's crazy because that was like the thing that he was talking up with you is that he thought you guys saw eye to eye on where lives were going and... I thought so too at the very start, but the specifics are a little bit incompatible, I'm saying. Okay. Well, could you get specific with the specifics? What was it specifically?

Yeah. So, okay. The date went really well at first. I was excited to go out with him because he just was he's kind of a different sort of guy than who I normally go out with. Like I usually I've been going out with a kind of shy guys lately. He's more of like a loud, assertive, cocky, like entrepreneur type guy. OK. At any time you you say entrepreneur I start to worry

She's worried that someone makes more money But sorry go ahead keep going Juliet he's ambitious and confident I don't know what you're saying If you were liking those things about him. You're excited to try that out Yes, so I also bring in quite a bit of money and I'm looking for somebody kind of similar I'm a hard-working woman. So I was excited to go out with him Mm-hmm. Yeah, and I think a lot of people like to date like minded career wise people right around the same income I mean sure if you want if you're a driven person you probably want to be around someone who's driven These are all positive things what we're trying to figure out is what turns you off to him like why wouldn't you call him back?

so we went on a walk and At the end of the walk. He asked me to come back to his place He felt the vibe that much. Oh, that's interesting. He needed to bring that up because I thought you guys just went and sat in the car and talked. Yeah, we didn't go anywhere. So he took me to his place and his place was his car. That's all he had. What?

Oh. He's living in his car? He lives in his car. Yeah. So he's living in his car to try to save money Yeah instead of spending his money on rent he's buying banana coin and spank chain and stuff, I don't know Banana coins is that crypto? It really is a real thing crypto? I've never even heard of it. Something that's like 16 year olds buy? It really is a real thing. I looked it up after the date and it does exist. I was skeptical too.

So what part of that was the turn off to you? So he has enough money to afford his own place but he's choosing to live in his car. He is actively choosing to do that which I just think is ridiculous. Well some people think living below their means is the way to wealth I have a friend who lives in a minivan and he can come hang out whenever I need him to Cause he can drive from where we're sticky But would you date him though? No he's single

Yeah he's single That's a good point I will say when we spoke to Craig he didn't mention that he currently resides in his vehicle He just said you guys hung out there. And I would love to ask him about it because he is on the other line right now waiting to talk to you. Oh.

Ooh. Yeah. Good thing they have cell phones because it's not a land light he's calling on. Craig, are you there? I'm here. I'm listening to all this. Yeah.

So why don't you talk to Juliet about what you just heard? Well, I told you Juliet, I told you that I could get a nice apartment if I wanted to. I'm just making a smart financial decision and you could do the same thing. I don't know. Also, I didn't tell these guys that I lived in my car. Thanks for, you blew up my spot there. Well, maybe the reason why you didn't tell them is because that's weird. You're showering at Planet Fitness and sleeping in Walmart parking lots. That's what my friend does too. Yeah, Planet Fitness.

Cause they're everywhere. Yup, yup. And is your friend super rich, Alexis? I don't know about that. At least that's a van. Like you're in a car. I'm not just in a car, I'm in a Tesla. Hello.

Oh. Good for the economy. That sounds so uncomfortable to sleep in. And camping mode. Yeah. And no privacy. It's worth it for the dream of the lake house and the helipad, which you were on board with.

Yeah. Oh, I'm on board with that. But I'm not on board with sleeping in a car where you can't even stretch out. Juliet, where's your money invested now? I can get your money in the right crypto. Oh. Oh, dude.

Morgan Stanley's taking care of my stuff. I don't need any help To stick up for him a little bit like every billionaire has some story about how they struggled Yeah, oh they started it in the garage. They were living with their mom Yeah, but they didn't have six figures at that time yet. They had no choice I think there's a good chance that Craig is gonna come back and throw this segment in our face and point to us as the people that Didn't believe in him and propelled him to his ultimate success See and remember this moment when I stuck up for you I will remember none of this. I'm way too focused on investing right now

This doesn't even I'm this is in the background for me too focused on investing right now. This doesn't even, this is in the background for me. Okay. Okay. And Juliet, I'm just so shocked you wouldn't want to hit your wagon to this star. Oh, that's a good thing to say. Let me know when you get there if you do, but I don't really want to be, I don't want to be slumming it in the meantime. Got it. I'm the kind of guy where you either get in on the ground floor or you get out. I mean the good news is, Juliet, you'd never have to stay at his place. He'd always be at yours. Yeah, that's true. And more good news is you wouldn't have to pay for your guys's next date because we would cover that if you would agree to see him one more time. I don't think but I bought you coffee

oh you want me to Venmo you or something just pay him in banana coin or whatever the hell that was called you know what on the way to the lake house dream every dime count so I would like you to Benmo me for that Stock takes off. Yeah, you're gonna get up to like $10,000. No problem. I can afford that and I can afford my rent You won't be able to afford your rent for long, not in this economy. Okay, let's stop, guys. Okay, so there really wasn't much of a romantic transaction here. No, it was very business. But yeah, and Juliette, no hard feelings.

If you still want to invest, just let me know. Okay. Hey, always starting to diversify, right? Yeah. I feel like I'm starting to feel like more of a debt collector than anything else in this segment. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I'm a little embarrassed about this, but I vowed to be 100% honest with my co-hosts. And I will tell you, after that call ended, I did Venmo 20 bucks to Craig to put into Spank Chain for me.

It just sounds like my kind of thing. Spanks, chains, what's not to like? It sounds cool when you buy now because they're like, you have four million coins, and you're like, wow! Oh yeah. It's worth a thousandth of a percent. I wasn't gonna tell Greg, that was so annoying to me. I dated a guy who lived in his car, and his mom was like a lawyer, and his dad was a judge.

I'm like, you don't need to live in your car. You stop pretending like you're poor, I hate that. This is just you on adult time out. Yes, God, it annoys me.
