Second Date Update.
When you Google somebody you're dating, 99% of the time, you're looking for big red flags.
Like a long criminal record, embarrassing IG photos with the wrong filter.
Oh, I was thinking like a marriage license but okay
the Gen Z's the young people know what we're looking for
oh he's a six time
champion of the annual 4Loco chugging
contest
wait that's a good thing Alexis?
better than not being able to chug at all
we need to talk about red flags
I'm just saying rarely do you find stuff online that makes you
like them even more
but I guess that was the case for one of our listeners, Nicole, who says she's more attracted to the guy after she Googled him.
What?
And before we get to what she discovered, apparently she has a nice little meet-cute story.
So, Nicole, tell us about him.
Who, what, where, when, why?
Whoa, that's a lot.
Well, it's a little different.
We met at an open house.
What?
Like for like a real estate open house?
Yeah, it was this really beautiful house.
And you're both very rich?
I would not say that I'm very rich, but I was looking at the mortgage, you know.
Sometimes you could just go to an open house without the intention of buying.
You're just here for fun.
Oh, I do it in my neighborhood because I like to spy and see what people really live like yeah
no one else it's not even an open house she just breaks in it's like oh this place is nice
but nicole you were looking at an open house and and how did you meet i still don't know his name
yet what's his name nathan nathan how'd you meet nathan, I'm assuming maybe I was dressed too nicely because he thought I was a realtor and started asking me questions about the house.
Well, that's not a bad mistake. Like you said, he probably looked very put together.
That's funny.
Did you know immediately that you liked him? I mean, did you have a spark?
Yeah, he was very cute.
Yeah, there you go. So I said, okay, have a spark? Yeah, he was very cute. Yeah, there you go.
So I said, okay, would you like to see a tour of the house?
Wait, didn't you?
Oh, that's amazing.
Wait, so you actually were acting like the real estate agent
even though you weren't?
Yeah, why not?
Okay.
I mean, how hard is it?
It's like, here's a room, that's a bathroom.
Well, no, real estate agents know the square footage of each room.
You can estimate. It's an Italian marble. It's in the? Well, no. This one's bigger. Real estate doesn't know the square footage of each room. You can estimate.
It's an Italian marble.
It's in the thousand-ish range.
At what point did he find out your lie?
Well, we were going on for a little while, and then I was trying to sound fancy, so I
put something like shiplap, and he was like, that's not shiplap.
And I was like, oh, okay, well, you're cute, and you know.
Is that what you said?
Yeah, I just, you know, eventually gave myself up.
And I think he appreciated my joke about it.
Okay.
And so did this lead to an official date or is the house tour considered your date?
Oh, yeah.
You know, I think I made some joke about, like, can we sign the deal, you know, or something.
And I gave him my business card.
And he said, I'll call you.
And he did.
Oh, he did.
Okay.
So he did like the joke.
What did you guys end up doing?
We ended up going to this nice Mexican place.
And I did go ahead and Google him before the date, which as a single woman, sometimes you just want to be sure that you're safe. I think it's pretty normal.
Yeah. Yeah, totally.
I feel like everybody does it. Yeah. I'm curious,
what did you find when you looked him up?
Well,
I mean, please don't tell him this because
I don't want him to find out. He's really nice
and really sweet and smart and cute.
But yeah,
he's kind of rich.
Oh. Is he the Nathan of the hot dog empire?
Oh my gosh!
How do you know he's rich?
Yeah, what did you find?
Well, apparently his family owns like a franchise of car dealerships.
Whoa!
Interesting.
So do you think that that changed the way you behaved on the date?
I don't think it changed my behavior.
I mean, it was definitely.
More motivated.
I mean, it's not a bad thing.
Right.
Oh, Nathan, my blouse become unbuttoned.
I don't know how that happened.
Just throwing out car terms like, oh, carburetor.
Let's have some appetizers.
I mean, seriously, how did dinner go?
It was great.
We were having a really lovely conversation and connecting on a lot of levels, especially with like travel.
Good.
And Athens came up.
Athens, Greece?
Oh.
Yeah, which I've been wanting to go to for many years.
And he said, oh, well, I've been several times.
You know, it's a fantastic place.
That's how you know he's rich.
Yeah.
So, I mean, did you take that as like he wanted to go with you,
like making future plans?
He kind of implied like, oh, well,
I don't have the kind of job where I'm chained to a desk.
Oh.
Yeah.
Dude, that's such a rich thing to say.
It is. That means I have a rich daddy is desk. Yeah. Dude, that's such a rich thing to say. It is.
That means I have a rich daddy, is what that means.
Free to leave. So there's all these
reasons that he's given you why this
is something worth pursuing.
Yeah, I mean, we had great conversation
and I really like him.
I mean, I don't care about the money.
I mean, yes, that's a nice bonus, but
you know, I mean, he's a good guy.
I mean, the other thing that I learned, he got a humanitarian award for the city.
It's another rich person thing.
Poor people do good things and they never get awards for that stuff.
Oh, okay.
Well, that must be kind of intimidating.
Did you ever bring that up to him?
Oh, no, of course not.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, because you
would have been outed for googling him at that point yeah you could say you just gave off like
humanitarian awards i feel like you must have won something like your name is really familiar i've
been following the awards circuit for a while now you could get away with it i don't know but how
long has it been since you last spoke with nathan uh's been like two weeks. And I mean, we had a really nice hug and kiss goodbye.
Oh, kiss.
You know, not like crazy, but really lovely.
And I'm just afraid that he either found out that I Googled him or he thinks I want to date him for his money.
Yeah, that's probably it.
People got to be used to Googling each other by now.
I mean, it's just what you do.
And I have heard the cell phone reception in Greece on top of the Acropolis.
Not that great.
Oh, so you're thinking it's not coming in well.
Yeah, maybe that's the reason.
Also, it doesn't have lips.
It's the Acropolis.
No, not for the fancy people.
It's the Acropolis.
But we're going to play a song.
We're going to do a long distance call possibly and try and figure out what's going on with nature. We're going to play a song. We're going to do a long-distance call, possibly, and try and figure out what's going on with nature.
We're going to dial a one.
We'll do it with your Second Date Update next.
Second Date Update.
He is a jet-setting, world-traveling,
award-winning humanitarian
with a giant trust fund
from his family's car dealership empire.
Bet he got something else giant, too.
But our listener, Nicole, says she doesn't care about any of that boring stuff.
She just likes that he's nice.
And laughed at her real estate joke about crown molding once.
Oh, well.
There's that.
I don't know.
She told us about how she met Nathan and afterwards secretly Googled him to find out what a great guy he really is.
During the date, they talked about travel and Athens and the history of Greek culture.
She was trying to hint at some of the things that she discovered without outright saying, I looked you up online.
Right.
Yeah, totally.
But now affluent Nate is not calling her back.
Oh, God.
My theory, his yacht hit a wave and he dropped his phone in the waters off the coast of Spain.
Oh, well, you would know best, rich boy.
So now he's sailing back to see you in person, Nicole.
Oh, that's it.
That's what I think.
Brooke, what's your theory?
I think he just has a lot of probably other options.
I mean, not that you're not a great option, Nicole.
Thanks. Yeah. Did you believe not a great option, Nicole. Thanks.
Did you believe her when she said that?
He kissed you.
He kissed you at the end of the night.
It sounds lovely.
Rich bachelors never kiss beautiful women.
That's never happened to everyone.
They save themselves for marriage.
Absolutely.
Every time.
Oh, that's the problem.
Maybe he's a virgin.
No, he's not.
Let's just callate and see what he
has to say we'll see which one of our theories is right you ready to do this nicole yes finally
yes please okay so i won't waste any more time let's get to it hello hey is this nathan uh yeah who's calling what what he asked who's calling oh sorry you
were talking while i was talking i just said oh okay he's here distracting me hi nathan nathan
we're calling from a radio show called brooke and jeffrey in the morning
i'm sure you've heard of it before. It's very high class.
We're international.
Yeah, I guess so.
That's believable.
This is a segment that we do call the Second Date Update,
and we're trying to help one of our listeners reconnect with you
after you went out on a date with her.
Now, are you a virgin?
Whoa, Jeffrey!
No.
Okay. One theory knocked down for why you're not calling her back are you curious who we're talking about nathan i mean are you talking about uh nicole i'm guessing oh so you don't have too
many options interesting we're calling because nico Nicole reached out to us, told us a
little bit about how you guys met and the date you went on, had a really nice time with you.
And now she's confused why you haven't reconnected. I mean, like, yeah, I thought about calling her,
of course. I mean, she's super nice and beautiful and whatever. But like, I don't know what to do exactly. What do you mean?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Did you connect?
I mean, like, she seems like she really connected with you.
Yeah, I mean, what do you mean you don't know what to do?
Well, I mean, I think we did really connect.
It was an awesome time.
Yeah.
Good.
I think she thinks I'm someone else.
What? Why? what do you mean so like we were just talking about traveling yeah she mentioned that she had always wanted to go to athens okay yeah
i mean it's a pretty popular place to travel yeah awesome place yeah the thing is she started going
off on like the history of the place and i I was like, uh-huh, yeah.
I don't know anything about Athens, really.
But have you been there?
Yeah.
The thing is, and this is the part that's kind of weird, I've been to Athens, Georgia, not Athens, Greece.
Oh.
Oh.
I mean, they're pretty much the same place though right
not at all jeff are you kidding were you just saying you've been to athens to like make her
think you're a world traveler or did you i mean you couldn't have honestly thought she was talking
about how she wanted to travel to athens georgia hey wow brooke ath. Athens, Georgia is beautiful. I assure you.
I don't know.
I was just going with the conversation, you know, like I didn't I didn't want it because I figured if I busted that on her, like the date would end or something, because like
you said, who wants to go to Athens, Georgia?
OK, well, I mean, that's one misunderstanding.
I'm sure she would be willing to look past that if you just admitted oh sorry i
didn't know what you meant like she must have googled me or something and there must i think
there's someone out there with my exact name who i don't know probably has been to athens greece and
and has a lot of cars because like she started mentioning car dealerships and stuff. Oh, my God. Real slick.
Okay.
Wait, so what do you do for a living, bro?
What do I do for a living?
Yeah.
I'm like, you know, a jack of all trades.
Oh, you're jobless.
Just right now.
Just right now.
That's okay.
No, no, that's fine.
That's just what I always mean.
Your family doesn't own a string of car dealerships?
No, but, like, I was selling a Prius once on Facebook.
So maybe that's the post she saw when she Googled you.
Yeah.
Okay, that's different.
So very different.
So wait, are you not calling her back because you don't want to disappoint her that you're not that person?
Yeah, and it's like, I think she thinks I'm rich. Are you not calling her back because you don't want to disappoint her that you're not that person? Yeah.
And it's like, I think she thinks I'm rich.
And I didn't know if it was like a huge deal for her that I'm not rich and that I don't, you know, I wasn't trying to lie to her.
But it's like, it was either I come clean and the date would probably end or I wait and I figure it out.
That's a weird predicament to be in.
It is. And luckily, that decision's now been taken completely out of your hands because you already just came clean about the truth to her.
Because you don't know this, Nathan, but Nicole's been on the other line listening this whole time.
What?
Yeah, that's her.
She wants to talk to you.
Oh, s***.
Just what a rich man would say nicole say hi to prince charming
uh yeah wow um i don't know what to say i am just i was just like super embarrassed
on the date and didn't know what to say and I thought we were having a good time so I didn't like want to ruin it oh okay Nicole is everything okay that's I mean he didn't lie to you you just
made assumptions about who he was okay no that that's that's fair um didn't you win a humanitarian award? I'm so confused. Oh, well, I mean, like, no, not exactly.
But I was there.
I was at that award that I think you're talking about.
I was part of the catering team.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
So he was a humanitarian to the humanitarians by feeding them.
Hey, that's a good point.
Even better.
Yeah. Oh. Yeah.
Why do you sound so
hesitant right now, Nicole?
Well, I don't mean
to be rude, but I feel like he sounds less
confident.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm a handyman. I can cater.
I can plumb. I can
do electric work of sorts sort and i'll build
your stuff he can screw it up no he can replace an outlet there you go i don't know how to do that
yeah that's good yeah i'm like a regular i'm a regular dude i'm just uh you know middle class
guy sounds like just the type of thing alexis is right now. I openly say I only go for rich guys, not like her.
She lied.
She didn't lie, Alexis.
I mean, were you just at the open house for the free wine?
Oh, yeah.
Why were you there?
I mean, I wasn't not there for free wine.
See, I like this guy.
He's resourceful, Nicole.
And you lied at the open house, too.
You said you were an agent.
You were actually the one that was lying.
And wine gives you a little bit of liquid confidence for your date.
There you go.
I mean, like, it takes confidence to pretend you're going to buy a house and just take the wine.
I mean, you are right.
The champagne flutes are free.
And it makes sense why he actually believed you were the agent.
Yes.
Because he was BSing too.
I mean, Nicole, I honestly don't think you should miss out on this guy.
He's a sweet dude.
He's resourceful.
Could give you a great deal on a used Prius.
So that's why I want to ask you right now if you'd like to go on one more date with Nathan, and we'll pay for it.
Yeah, no one has to worry.
Well, I don't know if I want to go out with him on a romantic date, but we could definitely be friends.
Oh, man.
He said he was so cute, though.
Oh, man.
Well, Nathan, I'm sorry this didn't work out for you, but thank you for your time.
Yeah.
At least I know now
good attitude man
and if we ever need some recommendations
for some diners in Athens, Georgia
you know the guy to hit up
oh absolutely
or if you need your toilet unclogged
oh even better
jack of all trades
is there nothing you can't do?
True renaissance, man.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
You know, it's pretty convenient to find out a rich guy isn't actually rich, and then you say, yeah, he just doesn't sound confident now anymore.
I know, right?
Especially now that all the commas are gone from his bank account.
Yeah, I know.
Maybe that's what she meant, commonance.
Yeah, commonance.
Isn't that interesting?
God, that's disappointing to me.
Yeah, I mean.
You know, I wanted a win for him.
I did.
Yeah.
And it shouldn't matter, Alexis.
Alexis.
Whatever.
If she hired me to Google him, I would have found better info.
So, dang.
She obviously didn't click the images tab.
Yeah, come on, get better.
I guess the saving grace for Alexis is that she lets them know that she's shallow up front.
Exactly.
The girl on the line, she claimed that she didn't care about it.
That's what I didn't like.
It's like he wasn't rich.
You know, money doesn't matter to me. And then it's like, oh, I don't like his voice.
Yeah.
He sounds lame.
Yeah.
The one thing I can say is good on her willing to love him as a friend.
That's not a good on her.
Maybe even donate to his housing costs someday.
Yeah, I don't think so.
How benevolent of her.
No.
Okay.
Well, now you guys aren't sounding confident to me.
I don't like the tone of your voice.
But if you ever want to get a second date update, you can email the show. We'll call the person who isn't calling you back as long as you sound confident to me. I don't like the tone of your voice. But if you ever want to get a second date update,
you can email the show.
We'll call the person who isn't calling you back as long as you sound confident about it.
