We recently got an email for a second date update from a guy named Joe.
Cool.
Joe knows that his romantic encounter didn't go perfectly.
Okay.
He also knows who's to blame for that.
All right.
He's blaming it on a baby.
What?
I thought we would be self-aware here.
Can you blame anything on a baby?
I get it, dude. I can't tell you how many emails we get from listeners whose dates have been brought down by a rogue baby.
It's a rogue baby now.
Like a baby that just came out of nowhere.
So many rogue babies out there trying to ruin love.
So what's going on, Joe?
You want to fight this baby or what?
The baby ruined my chances, I think, with this girl, I meant.
Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on.
Was it her baby?
Well, hold on.
We'll get to the selfish baby in just a second.
But first, tell us about the girl that you want us to call.
What's her name?
Her name is Tara.
Okay.
And how'd you meet her?
It's kind of a funny story how we met, actually.
It usually never is.
She's right.
I met her at a bowling alley.
A bowling alley?
Okay, Jeff.
Good one, man.
That is some sarcastic humor right there.
Sarcastic laughter.
Sorry, go ahead, man.
I'm in a bowling league for a long time with my buddies, you know, and we get together every week.
Good fun laughing and joking.
Yeah.
And my buddy, Murphy, we call him Murph.
Of course, Murphy's in a bowling league yeah yeah murphy's all right he was telling me a joke while i'm waiting for the
ball to come back and the ball returned and all of a sudden i was distracted for a minute
the ball came back really hard and smashed my fingers right up against the side of the uh
of the return oh my god i can feel that i can picture oh my god, I can feel that. I can picture it too. Oh my god. That's the worst. I just grabbed my own hand.
And my pinky got bent a little.
It just was starting to swell up.
Wow, I can imagine. I can imagine, yeah.
Yeah, your entire career of bowling flashing
before your eyes. So where does Tara
come into the picture? So I had to tell
Murph and the guys that I couldn't bowl anymore
and I had to get some ice.
Alright. So there was a long
line at the bar and there was this lady in front of me and I needed to get some ice. Yeah. All right. So there was a long line at the bar and there was this lady in front of me
and I needed to get ice really bad.
So I asked her if she wouldn't mind
if I could get in front of her.
Yeah.
I mean, I think it's totally reasonable
that you would cut to the front.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And she was just really cool.
We were just talking for a while
after I got my ice
and getting to know each other.
Yeah, you always got to reel them in
with a little injury.
Yeah.
Yeah. Women love a guy that's in pain a little bit. And then they're like, let me take care of you. That's right. I like what you did there, Joe. Very smooth. She seemed very, very nurturing.
Did you ask her out or was this your guys' like date hangout?
Well, I couldn't go back to Boeing and, you know, I was getting a little hungry, so I said, hey, Tara, why don't we grab a burger right here at the diner inside the bowling alley?
Wow, Tara, look at that. We're both at a restaurant together.
I can't hold the burger, so maybe you could feed it to me, because my hand is in so much pain.
Look at my pinky.
That would have been a great idea. I didn didn't even think of that so what did you
guys do just ate together yeah we went into uh the diner we sat at a booth ate together
joking around with one another it was going well is what it sounds like when did it go wrong
well this is where the baby comes in right yeah the baby. Yeah, there's a cute little adorable baby in the next booth making faces at me as we're eating.
And I don't have kids, but I love kids.
So I started making these silly little faces, sticking my tongue out at the baby.
Yeah, that's adorable.
Yeah, I thought it was.
What did Tara think?
She wasn't doing the same thing I was doing.
She wasn't making funny faces.
Maybe she didn't speak baby talk.
I don't know.
That's the problem.
Translation issue with the baby.
She's not bilingual.
I mean, that doesn't sound like it would ruin anything, though.
I don't understand why that's so bad.
Yeah, but I did encourage her to interact with the baby, but she said no chance.
That's a little bit strange there, Joe.
It's a little awkward.
Hey, your turn.
Like most women that I know, when a guy is interacting with a baby,
your immediate thought is, oh, he has nurturing instincts, right?
Or in my case, I'm like, weirdo.
Well, maybe that's what she thought.
Maybe it was more like Jose.
Yeah, too nice.
I mean, who can't, you know, at least smile or acknowledge a cute little baby that's like a foot away from you?
Yeah, but sometimes guys like you and I, like I was trying to say, are too excited.
And then it gets into.
Yeah, that's true.
I do kind of go overboard sometimes.
And I always ask the people there if they would let me play with the baby.
But I didn't.
I didn't ask that.
Okay, good.
That's not even I do that, bro.
That's so creepy.
A random dude in a bowling alley going to play with your baby, but I didn't. Oh, okay, good. That's not even I do that, bro. That's so creepy. A random dude in a bowling alley
going to play with your baby.
Can I borrow that human real quick?
It sounds like you did one thing right
by not asking that.
So how did this all end?
Well, at this point,
I went back to my buddies at our lane
and then she went back to her friends
at her lane.
We were like three or four lanes apart.
Ooh, that could be good or really awkward.
Yeah.
And I waved to her once.
And then she was getting ready to leave with her friends before we were leaving.
So I quickly went over to her and said, hey, Tara, you know, I enjoy talking to you.
You know, and maybe we could exchange numbers and meet up sometime.
So we did.
We exchanged phone numbers.
So I thought at that, it was a nice ending to a
funny little awkward story of how I
met her. Your pinky got you a number,
dude.
The tiniest little wingman
ever. So you've reached out
to her since then? Yes.
And nothing.
That's weird. Why would she give you her number?
And it's really her number? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's her
voice on the voicemail.
Okay, that's the big indicator that it's her number.
All right, well, here's what we're going to do.
We're going to play a song, come back, call Tara for you,
and try and get you a second date update.
All right, Joe?
Sounds great.
All right, man, hold on.
Second date update.
If you're just tuning in for today's second date update,
we're on the phone with a man named Joe.
And Joe loves doing three things in this world.
Throwing strikes, eating burgers, and making babies.
Giggle.
He makes them giggle.
That is a hard man.
He recently met a woman named Tara at the bowling alley after he hurt his finger in the ball return.
They ended up sitting down in the diner there, eating together,
but Joe got distracted by a cute baby in the booth next to them.
After that, he was able to get her number, Tara's number, not the baby's.
But now, Tara is not calling Joe back.
Oh, man.
That's the most manly thing when you're like, yeah, he likes to do this and this,
and then he got distracted by a baby.
Yeah, Jose understands that, Joe, just so you know.
I get it.
Yeah.
I mean, if you could talk to her and find out, I mean,
if I ruined my chances of going out with her because of that darn baby,
I'm going to be upset.
So here's my question that I didn't ever ask.
Because I know when Jose tries to entertain my children,
they run in fear, right?
They usually cry.
Was the baby into you?
Yeah, the baby was, like, making, like,
goo-goo-ga-ga sounds.
I was playing peek-a-boo with the baby.
Okay.
I mean, like I said,
if I could have asked the people that the baby was with
if I could have played with the baby on my lap, I would have.
That's actually really cute.
I would love to have a baby on my lap.
You know what, Joe?
If we can't get you a date with Tara out of this,
maybe we can get you a play date with the baby.
Yeah.
Sure.
All right.
I think that's illegal somehow.
It's called babysitting.
It's fine.
I don't know him.
But we'll focus on Tara for now, okay?
We're going to dial her number here. You ready?
Yeah, I'm nervous. I hope she picks up.
I hope so, too. We'll find out.
Here we go. I'm going to dial it right now.
Hello?
Hi, can I speak to Tara, please?
Who's this?
My name's Young Jeffrey, and I work for the morning radio show
Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Okay.
Is that okay with you?
What's this about?
Well, we do something on our show called a second date update.
That's where if you go out with somebody and afterwards they're not calling you back,
you can reach out to us, and we'll give them a call and try and figure out the reason why.
Yeah.
And the person that reached out to us about you, his name is Joe.
Oh, Joe.
That's good.
Yeah.
Okay.
You met him at the bowling alley.
He had that career-ending pinky injury.
Yeah, he had an epic pinky injury.
Oh, epic. I don't think those words have ever been he had an epic pinky injury. Oh, epic.
I don't think those words have ever been put together.
Epic pinky injury.
He told us a lot about your night together, and he had a lot of positive things to say.
He said that you were very kind and very nurturing.
He also mentioned that you guys went into the diner and sat down for a bite to eat.
We did.
I love that diner.
Oh, good.
Did you have a good time?
Yeah, it was good.
I mean, look, he's a good guy.
He's kind of cute.
You know, I enjoyed the time I had with him at the diner.
Okay.
He also told us about the baby that selfishly butted in.
Yeah.
That was the most strange interaction I've ever seen the most strange the thing was
that the baby's whole face was covered in snot and like it was gross like you know how to get
those bubbles out their nose and he was breathing heavy and yeah and the parents didn't seem to care
just like eating a chili cheese fries like not paying this kid any attention and then joe was
just like hanging out with a baby so it was really weird because the kid was covered in snot to make
it even more bizarre the family of the baby changed the baby at the table and he just kept
playing with it like as the baby's being, he was just playing with the baby.
And I kept saying to Joe, like, stop it.
Stop looking at the baby.
And he's like, don't worry.
The baby likes it.
He likes being changed.
So it's not so much that he was playing with a baby.
It's that he was playing with a dirty baby.
That's what bothered you the most.
Dirty baby.
Gross.
So that's the reason you're not calling him back?
I mean, he seems like a good person.
He definitely comes from a good place.
He has a good heart.
I could tell that about him, but I don't know.
Well, you know, I know Joe would really like to talk with you about this because he's been on the other line listening,
and he's heard everything that you said.
Wait, what? Yeah. Hi, Tara. Oh. other line listening and he's heard everything that she said wait what yeah hi tara oh that's joe oh my god i had no idea that you were on the other line listening this whole entire time
yeah i uh i've heard everything and um so you don't like babies huh what what no it's not that i don't like
babies i don't like dirty babies and people playing with dirty babies no awareness i was
making funny faces at the dirty baby it's not like the baby was in my lap i think we should
stop calling it a dirty baby it's kind of funny though i'm I'm sorry. Rogue baby was better. I've had two dirty babies.
It's fine.
Sarah, you said that I have no awareness, but I saw the baby was covered in snot and that the baby needed to be changed.
That's not my fault.
That's the parents not taking care of the baby.
You can't blame me for that.
I knew it wasn't your fault, but it was just very unnerving.
I mean, is that the only thing, Sarah?
Is this all about the baby?
Well, there was kind of something else.
What?
What?
Well, okay, so you asked for my number,
and I was kind of on the fence about giving it to you.
Like, I was like, well, okay, maybe we could hang out.
But then we were back at our lanes.
One of your buddies, I think his name was Murph or something or other,
he was talking to one of my friends
and he said some very incriminating
information about you.
Oh.
What did he say? Murph?
He's like bragging about how you're always
banging the chicks from the alley
and that, like, you know,
that's what you do. You're always
like on the prowl and you're always
finding alley chicks. Alley chicks? Is that what you call. You're always like on the prowl and you're always finding alley chicks.
Alley chicks? Is that what you call them in a bowling alley?
Dude, Joe!
That's not true. I don't call them that. That's not true, Tara.
Joe.
Oh my gosh.
You sleeping with gutter girls?
What?
Can't they be like ball babes or something instead?
You sleep with a ball busters team?
No, listen, that's...
Okay, look, if I'm being completely honest with you right now,
I mean, maybe I slept with seven women
that I met at the bowling alley.
Why so specific right now, Joe?
Why would you do that?
I don't know that we need to say that.
And when I think of the type of women
that normally go to the bowling alleys,
it's not like the young, cute girls.
It's usually the senior citizens that are on the bowling squads.
Don't be judgy, Jeffrey.
There's nothing wrong if he wants to be with, you know, Mildred and Edna and Bernadette.
That's totally his prerogative.
Oh, you'd be surprised.
There's a lot of young action going on at the bowling alley.
A lot of hot young action.
Hot young action. I go bowling more alley. A lot of hot young action. Hot young action?
You and Murph know.
Wait, wait, wait. Excuse me. You're saying
that there is hot young action?
So you're 110% saying
that what Murph told my friend is true.
Well, I didn't sleep with all
of them. I mean, we did a lot of other stuff.
What?
What? Stop. Second and third base stuff.
I wasn't really including that.
Joe, stop!
You don't have to go into details, man.
You are digging your own grave right now.
What are you doing?
I mean, actually, there's a spot behind the video games
where if you are in a certain angle,
no one will see you for hours.
What?
Gross!
You're doing it there?
No, Joe.
No. You're supposed to there? No, Joe! No!
You're supposed to be
telling her how great she is
and why she's different
than all the other
gutter girls
or whatever you call them.
Look, I mean,
I'm just being
completely honest with you
and just get everything
out in the open.
I mean, this is me.
This is the real deal.
Oh, wow.
Well, I am so glad
because it was just,
you know,
dirty baby was one thing,
but now gutter girls and alley cats? I'm not interested in that kind of behavior.
Hold on, Tara.
Before you go jumping to conclusions here, we would love to pay for a second date for you and Joe.
I'm not interested.
I don't even like bowling that much.
It was like my friend's birthday.
So I'm going to say no and stop this right where it is.
Well, I'm sorry, Joe.
Yeah, you were honest.
Tara's not interested.
That's fine.
I mean, I don't care.
I'm sure there will be another one next week.
There's some stuff with them behind the video games.
I don't care.
Oh, my God.
Gladys is going to love that.
Oh, my God.
Real classy, Joe.
Oh, my God.
