Episode Date: April 18, 2022

The guy in today’s call is pretty sure what his date saw inside his apartment might have ruined his chance at love… but he has a totally reasonable and non-creepy explanation for it… At least... he thinks so...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And Dan only waited four days after his date to get in touch with us. Okay. It's pretty quick. Yeah.

Normally people wait like a week, two weeks, several years before they'll enlist our help. It's actually, yeah, it's happened multiple times. But Dan needs instant gratification. Okay. And I'm just going to say, Dan, you're coming across a little bit needy. Uh-oh. And it's turning me on. It's not instant gratification.

I just want to figure it out before the line goes cold. Yeah, Jeff, that's what I thought. I'm just saying it's working. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe she doesn't feel the same way that I do. We like clinging. But who do you need to get a hold of?

Tell us her name. Because if you're checking in with us after four days, it probably means you've called her upwards of like 40 times. No, like three times. Yeah, anybody in the room believe Dan? We'll do the radio math on that one. You multiply by 56. Yeah. So what name her name is jody all right okay and how'd you meet jody uh we met on a dating app okay what'd you like about her so i just like how she was like

put together because you know a lot of people are just in their yoga pants on the apps but she was actually like well dressed put together and then like when we met up in person she didn't wear any makeup and still look good you know which i like and appreciate that it's not she like tries but isn't like too obsessed about it okay most girls would never go on a date without makeup well the girls i'm into yeah okay what'd you guys end up doing for your date? Well, we decided to just hang out and grab a drink because, you know, you never know what people are like in person and all that. Sure. What does that mean?

You don't know what people are going to be like in person, so you grab a drink? Maybe their photos are like three years and 45 pounds ago. Maybe the guy's a crazy person, so you meet in public. That's what everyone does. Have you had those experiences? Hasn't everyone on a dating app had those experiences? Yeah, you're making me sound weird. I'm not the weird one here. Yeah, I mean, I think that that's safe.

One drink isn't a huge commitment. It's half an hour tops if things aren't going well. Yeah, exactly. But things are going well. You know, we're drinking at the bar. I'm like really into skimboarding. What's that? And she didn't know what that was. It's like surfing, but instead of being in the water, you're on the sand and run towards the water

and then like drop the board and hop on. Right, right. It's like I always thought that was boogie boarding or whatever, but it's different. No, that's when you're on your belly. It's just you start running and throw the board on the sand, on the wet sand and go into the ocean. It looks like it's more painful when you fall.

It's definitely not fun when you fall. But I would agree with that. That's cool. Was she impressed? Well, she'd never heard of it. So, you know, I showed her a couple of videos. Then I started actually asked the bartender for like an old cardboard box and started demonstrating it in the bar.

There's a little room. What? You demonstrated skimboarding in the bar? Like slow motion. I didn't actually go anywhere, you know, but just the mechanics of it. Like, you run, drop, and slide. What was her response to that? She was into it,

and then after a couple times I did it, she decided to do it. But then, like, she started falling over, but I caught her, you know, like, it was kind of...

Yeah, so that worked out. Did you kiss her when you caught her, or what'd you do? We had a nice eye contact for a moment, you know, kind of huggy, grippy, but didn't. Grippy. Sounds like things were going well.

Yeah. Yeah. And then a little while later, I was like, hey, what about coming over to my place to watch a movie? And she was totally down with it. Okay. You know, I'm thinking maybe a movie, maybe something else. Right.

Okay. Because nobody ever just means movie. Yeah. How'd things go back at your place? It started out good. We started watching a movie, but, like, my place was a little dirty. Maybe I didn't believe in myself that night before I left. I didn't, like, clean up right.

No one's going to happen anyway. Oh, I see. I feel like it always works that way, though, right? Yeah. Like, it's like when you go out and you're a woman and you don't shave your legs, you're like, well, it's not going to lead to anything. And then you're like, dang it. So hairy.

I mean, it sounds like a match made in heaven. Like, you didn't clean your apartment. She didn't put on makeup or try at all. Like, it didn't seem like either of you were very into this. But like, I hadn't done the dishes and the trash. And like, I don't know, like 15, 20 minutes in, I felt her notice it, really. And, like, the vibe definitely changed. Did you say anything about it?

No. Before I even could, she just started going, like, I'm getting tired. I got to go. But I definitely want to come back, and we'll finish the movie another time. Well, that seems legit, though. But she never called back.

And, like, I feel she's totally blowing me off. OK. Weird. So what do you think it it is i think it's a messy apartment but i usually i'm not messy at all but that's the crazy thing is just that was the one time that i didn't clean that day you know and for that week i didn't work a lot and didn't get a chance to clean up and i guess guess I should always believe in myself. I mean, that's a good place to start. Yeah. I know, but there's nothing more depressing than when you clean up right before a date and then you come home alone to a spotless apartment.

You're like, well, that was a double waste of time. Rubs it in your face. Yeah. That's why I never clean too, bro. I feel you, man. You and Jose are kindred spirits. So, all right. Well, we're going to play a song.

We'll come back and we'll call Jody for you and try and get you your second date update, okay? All right, maybe you can convince her I'm not a slob. I mean, you're asking a lot from me. You're still really playing that needy role here. But we'll try our best, all right? We're going to do that next. Second date update. If you're just tuning in for the second date update, we're on the phone with one of our listeners named Dan.

And Dan, most people would probably look at your date and point out all the red flags. Oh, okay. But I'm not going to do that. Okay. All right. I'm not going to call attention to the fact that you're anti-women wearing yoga pants or that you set a one-drink limit for yourself at the bar for some reason or your unusually dirty apartment and i'm especially not going to harp on the fact that it's only been four days since you met this woman and now you're asking a radio station to contact her for you

i'm not going to point those things out but what i will point out is that you sir have one of the best and i really mean this one of the best, and I really mean this, one of the best phone connections that we've ever heard called into this show. It is a good line. And that's something no amount of red flags can ever take away from you. Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah, it is clear. It's very clear. I know. That's like five bars right there.

So, Dan, just checking. I mean, is there anything else that we need to know that you're leaving out because sometimes people do that with us look i understand how you could twist this but like here's the deal right like i like her like who skimboards in a bar you know like she's cool plus honestly like i only watched a little bit of the movie with her before she left and i want to see the end of the movie. I will say, I think that's a good sign. It's a good sign of a devoted person. If you are actually willing to not finish a movie without someone else.

Yes. Dan, you're definitely one of our most devoted callers that we've ever had call in for a second date update. I think that's a compliment. It's the biggest compliment I can give. Or it's just there. Yeah. All right, so we're going to call Jody for you and get your second date update, okay? Are you ready? Yeah, I can give. Or it's just there. Yeah. All right. So we're going to call Jodi for you

and get your second date update. Okay. Are you ready? Yeah, I'm ready. Here we go. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Jodi, please? Who's calling? Is this Jodi? Um, who's calling? I asked you first. Is this Jodi? That's fair. It's her phone. Okay. This is Jeffrey

from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Now you go. Is this Jodi? Okay. Um, yes. Yes.

Hi, Jodi. Hi. She's so confused. We're calling you today because we're doing something called a second date update. Have you ever heard of that before? Maybe. I don't know. Like a long time ago.

I don't know. Okay. Well, just to refresh your memory, it's if someone goes out on a date and afterwards they're not getting a call back, they can reach out to us and we'll call that person for you to figure out the reason why. Oh, that's so weird. Well, we're calling you because you recently went out with a guy. His name's Dan. Oh, yeah. Very recently. Yeah. Four days ago, he said. said yeah i just went out with him yeah he's eager jody he had a really good time with you and he's wondering how you felt about it um i don't know i i mean i um because he did tell us about what happened on the date he said you guys went to a bar and

he showed you how to what what was it? Skin surfing? Skin boarding. Skin boarding. Skin boarding. Yeah? Yeah, we did that. Yeah, okay. Sounds like you enjoyed that.

Well, you had to have enjoyed it because he said that, I mean, you guys went back to his apartment. So if you weren't having a good time, you would have left already. Yeah. We did go back to his place to watch a movie. And, I mean, it was fine at first first but I guess I started feeling a little uncomfortable. When did those uncomfortable feelings begin? I feel like we're in a sixth grade sex ed class all of a sudden. Yeah no he was like a gentleman right like it wasn't like that but I don't know i wasn't there that long and his his apartment is just a little weird i didn't mention that it was kind of dirty yeah

was that a turn off i mean a little that maybe but like then i went and i used the restroom and i noticed that there was like this snowman soap dish, which I just like thought was weird. And then when I came out, I noticed that there were like these Santa figurine things on like his coffee table. And there was like Christmas stuff on his mantle. And as I was coming out of the bathroom, I could see the back corner of the room where we were sitting and there was a big Christmas tree in the corner. Now, you must have been more than one drink in

if you missed a Christmas tree when you walked in. Well, it wasn't on when we got home, obviously. The lights were all off, but when I came out of the bathroom, he had turned the lights on on the Christmas tree. It was like mood lighting? is an apartment yeah but it's like not christmas time i saw i don't know what's going on i i don't know it was like a lot of stuff like i kind of felt like he's like a christmas freak or something like i don't know maybe it's like laziness. Maybe he just doesn't want to pack the stuff up.

So he's like either really lazy or he's obsessed with Christmas. But why would that make you stop seeing somebody that you're having a good time with? I mean, honestly, like I haven't said no yet to like going out again. Like I'm just trying to think about how to like bring up that. I think it's like a little weird. I feel bad that I just like left. Maybe in a Christmas card, it would get across to him how you really felt. I wonder if there was another way we could bring it up.

That's an interesting point, Jose. Thank you, Jeffrey, because maybe it's the right time to let you know, Jody, that Dan has been on the other line listening this entire time and wants to talk to you. What?

No. Yeah, he sees you when he's sleeping. Oh! And he knows that you're awake. Don't do that. No! Shut up, he's not on the phone. He is. Dan, you there? Yeah, I'm here. Hey! Hi, Jodi.

Hi. Oh, my gosh. Can I ask you a question? Are you, like, Jewish or something? Is that why the whole thing's offending you? What? That's the question? That's a fair point. No, I'm not, actually.

But I wouldn't say I'm offended by it i just thought it was weird um can i ask a question you had a radio station call me yeah yeah that might have been an over uh overreaction might i mean it's it's only been like four days since i saw you like i don't once it's like five six days a second date isn't gonna happen so i just wanted to figure it out either way i will say i'll back dan on that because honestly jody be honest were you actually gonna call him back i honestly was still thinking about it that's honestly the more days you think the less the chances are you calling him it goes six seven

eight days next thing you know it's exponential growth yeah i know all about that okay but the problem obviously comes from the christmas decorations inside dan's apartment so dan can you explain why do you have christmas decorations up right now i just i like the holiday vibe, you know, like it improves my spirit and attitude. You know, if I'm having a bad day, I turn on the lights. It feels a little happier. Dude, totally. But all year long. I mean, isn't that the thing about the holidays? It's like a special time of year. If you make it 12 months out of the year, then it's not special anymore. I can understand that viewpoint.

It's been working for me. I mean, this is the first year I've gone year-round, but I've definitely gone six months before, you know? And if we're putting cards on the table, I didn't even show you my reindeer. What reindeer? I have a whole collection of different stuffed reindeer, you know, like 50 different ones,

and they just make me feel better about things. Oh, okay. Just 50 stuffed reindeer. That's not weird. Right, Jodi? Oh, my God. I mean, the whole thing is weird. I just, to have Christmas stuff up right now, I mean, I just, to me, it's a little weird.

I mean, I guess, like, maybe wanting to cheer yourself up is, like, a nice idea to just have, I don't know about these reindeer though but i don't understand why you're hating on christmas like this i don't i don't think she's hating i'm not hating on it i just like i was surprised more than anything okay well dan now you know what made her feel uncomfortable yeah yeah and jody you know now that he's a little bit of a Christmas freak so with now that all the feelings are out there what do you say Jody to going out with Dan one more time we'll pay for it I mean and on top of this we'll also throw in a free helping of Christmas cheer on the house Dan can I ask you, like, one more question? Okay.

Like, would you be open to maybe just, like, toning it down a little bit? Like, the tree, definitely. But maybe, like, the stockings. Okay. Well, now you're... Jodi. Stockings, too? Jodi, you're getting a little controlling. You're trying to redecorate his entire apartment now.

Oh, my God. Take away the tree. Take away Christmas. No. I'm with you, Jodi. Take it down, Dan. Look, I guess it's been far enough away from Christmas. I could get rid of some stuff, put it in the closet, the tree and stocking.

But can I keep the snowman soap dish, though? I really like that when I wash my hands. What do you think, Jodi? Don't be a Scrooge. I'm okay with the soap dish. All right. So is that a yes? You guys are going to go out on another date?

Yeah, that's a yes. All right. All right. Look it. The magic of the season does exist. It's the holidays. Now sing us out with a Christmas tune. Here comes Daniquaz.

Here comes Daniquaz. Daniquaz Here comes Dan-a-clause. Here comes Dan-a-clause. Dan-a-clause. You guys like it? I changed Stan into Dan. Yeah, we caught that. Yeah. Good.
