All right, let's do a hypothetical here. Ooh, I always love those. And Brooke, we're going to pretend that you're single. Okay, hey. Is that single you? Look at how excited she got. I know, she perked up. Are you happy finally?

No, I love being married to my husband. I know. I was single for a long time. You're hanging out at the bar. Yeah. You're the same age that you are right now. Oh. I don't want to my husband. I know. I was single for a long time. Let's say you're hanging out at the bar. Yep. You're the same age that you are right now. Oh. I don't want to say it out loud. Okay.

Just keep that in mind. But again, you're single and you see a cute guy cross the room. Okay. Very attractive. Uh-huh. Do you approach him or do you try to get him to notice you so that he walks over? I've never had any tact, so I would definitely approach him. Brooke's an approacher for sure.

Okay, yeah. Totally. And what do you do? What's the move? Oh, I don't know. Maybe buy him a drink? Okay, you don't do anything extra. You're just like,

hi, I'm Brooke. I think you're cute. Can I buy you a drink? You flash a bunch of money in his face and try to win him over like that. I've told many guys at bars when I was single,

you're hot. Oh, that's good. That's kind of it. We love that. No, we would. I love that. Oh've told many guys at bars when I was single, you're hot. Oh, that's good. That's kind of it. We love that. No, we would, I love that. Oh my god. Girls will finally tell you. Told you, I don't have much shame or anything. Or game at all. Well, no, not really, but it works, I'm telling you. Yeah, it works. I do think you forgot

I said you're still your same age as now, but I'm gonna let you get away with that one. I'll still say that. It may have looked more desperate at my age. Can I buy you an old-fashioned one? I bring it up because one of our listeners says that he got approached by not just one, but two different women. And he thinks he knows the secret on how that happened. Oh, boy.

So let's talk to him. Tony, welcome to the show. Hi, how are you guys guys doing we're my two twins at the bar is that why she means lookalikes not the other thing not the girls yeah i know you went on a date recently. Who was it with? Her name's Gemma. We actually met on a dating app.

Nice. I thought you said somebody approached you at the bar. You met on a dating app? Yeah. So, I know. Sorry. That might have been a little confusing. So, we went to this Mexican spot, they have these like giant long shared table things.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like community seating. Yeah, exactly. We're like sitting with different parties and stuff like that. It's kind of social. You know, people are talking to each other and interacting. But I thought that I was being pretty clear to the rest of the restaurant that me and Gemma are not brother and sister.

We were there on a date together. Oh, how do you how do you be clear about that like t-shirts matching this is my date that would be brother sister oh actually yeah that's not his words why do you assume that yeah do you guys look alike uh no i don't think so but it was more like the way we got treated i guess because we were i mean we were flirting we were doing the whole date thing and these two girls were kind of across from us and like i said it was a social thing and jemma at one point got up and she went to the bathroom and during that time these two girls came over and sat on either side of me and just kind of inserted themselves into the situation oh were they asking about your date like you know i can see like two girls that are out together they're like oh look at they're on a first date let's go

mess you know what i mean she thinks it's going bad i think it's going great you let us know was it like i don't know i don't know what it was but when jemma came back to the table she kind of sat not in the seat that they were in but a a little away from me, like across from me. Wait, the women were still there when she came back from the bathroom? Yeah, they stayed there. Oh, that's a bad look. They were basically just paying attention to me. They were like laughing at jokes that I was trying to say and stuff like that.

So it was weird. Is it good at all that maybe she saw that they liked your vibe? No, not at all. Not even like a tiny bit. I'm just trying. It's one thing if they're like making it a joke, right? And they're including her and it feels like a group thing. But this sounds like she was really left out.

Yeah. It probably hurt. Yeah. I was trying to do everything I could to show her non-verbally that I am not interested in them. I'm trying to play footsie with her. I'm trying to engage with her and let her know, like, hey, I didn't ask these girls to come over here. They just did it on their own.

It's got nothing to do with me. You didn't do everything because you didn't move. Or ask them to move. In one time, I pretended to fall asleep during a date to get the message across that I wasn't interested. I kissed one of them and I gave her the, she's a bad kisser. So what do you think, like in your mind, what do you think was happening there? that I wasn't interested. I kissed one of them and I gave her the, she's a bad kisser. Yeah. No kidding.

What do you think, like in your mind, what do you think was happening there? I kind of, and I told her this too. I think the only reason that they were even interested in me to begin with

was because I was out with a really attractive girl and that's the only time that that ever happened to me. That's so true. Did Gemma like that reason? Not at all. Were you able to salvage the date at all?

Yeah, that's a good point. Like, how long were they there? They were there for the rest of the date, but we didn't stay much longer. We awkwardly left, and she wasn't really talking to me at the end, and no kiss or anything like that. We just kind of hugged, and yeah. Oh, yeah. We know what the problem is.

Did you bring it up with Gemma, though, about like, sorry about those two girls? Like, I wasn't interested. Yeah, he told her the whole reason he thought they were doing that, right? After the date or during? Yeah, well, the girls were right there, so it was hard for me to address it at the table. I just waited until we were in the car and I apologized for their behavior and said, look, I had nothing to do with me. I'm sorry.

It was weird. What did she say? That's good. She said she understood, but there wasn't much after that yeah okay yeah dang do you what do you wish you would have done differently uh it was a weird social situation so i mean i guess i i should have asked for a private table but that was kind of the whole experience of the spot was to do that with other people weird i wonder i wonder what her like side is yeah what does she see we'll we'll get that from her when we reach out to her but at least

next time probably need to avoid the shared long tables yeah yeah table for two or just accepting attention from other women just the sandwiching of the two women i think is probably what you need to avoid when you're with a girl, curb other chicks, bro. Not that hard. A lot of lessons to be learned, and hopefully we'll get some answers when we reach out to Gemma for you. Come back, try to get your second date update right after this. Second date update. One of our listeners, Tony, went out on a one-on-one date that suddenly turned into a three-on-one date.

Oh, boy. And the person who got excluded was Gemma, the woman that he actually came to the restaurant with. Oh, man. Because two random girls got up and sat down right next to Tony as soon as Gemma went off to the bathroom. So when she came back to the table, she was forced to sit across from everybody else. Oh, my gosh. And the whole rest of the night was kind of awkward from there.

He tried to play footsies. Yeah. With her, with Gemma. Just to show Gemma that I'm actually interested in you. I don't really care about these two new girls. But she was kind of out of reach. I think she was a little tired. It was probably just a table leg under there.

Tony's thoughts on why this happened was actually pretty flattering towards Gemma, saying that she was so attractive that these other ladies must have been paying him attention, thinking, oh, wow, this guy's with this gorgeous woman. He must have something pretty special either downstairs or upstairs. Who knows? At least that's Tony's thoughts on the situation. We need to get Gemma's thoughts and see if we can recover. Yeah.

How are you feeling, Tony? A little nervous, but I kind of am knowing what to expect, I think, at this point. Okay, that's how you're feeling upstairs. How are you feeling downstairs? I'm guessing also nervous. Same, I guess. Okay. He's like, I'm trying to play footsies.

Nerves going everywhere. Have you talked to her at all since the date? No, I haven't gotten a response back from her. We went from three women to zero now giving Tony attention. So hopefully. He doesn't have the option. He didn't get their numbers. Well, yeah, I know.

Wait, did you? We didn't ask. Oh. No, absolutely not. Okay, because then we wouldn't even make this call. It's pretty clear asking for their numbers in front of her. Okay, well, good luck out there. Yeah, let's call Gemma.

We'll see if she picks up, and hopefully we'll figure out what's going on, okay? All right, cool. Let's do it. Hello? Hi, we're looking to talk to Gememma this is jemma hey thanks for picking up jemma um we're a radio show we're called brooke and jeffrey in the morning oh okay weird yeah why are you calling me uh well we're doing a segment called a second date update not sure if you're familiar with that but we're trying to help out one of our listeners get ahold of you after you

went out on a date with him recently. Guy named Tony. Oh my God. Did you just gag? Is that what I heard? Was it like a cough where you cleared your throat? Listen, I don't know what this guy told you,

but it was a very, very awkward and incredibly weird date. He actually told us something similar. Yeah, we did hear about some of the events that occurred at the Mexican place with the two girls coming to sit right next to Tony at the communal table while you went off to the bathroom. Yeah, those b****es. Seriously. Okay.

I mean, Honestly that that's Kind of a good sign Gemma Because that means That you were disappointed Oh yeah You know what I mean Well I mean I'm just saying

Like you liked him Yeah Because if you didn't like him You might come back And be like thank God Thank you ladies Yeah Saved me

Now Yeah that's putting A really nice spin on it But yeah Well Tony says That he felt really bad about how it all went down. We're curious how you felt about the situation. Yeah, and I'm sure he did, honestly. Like, at first, when I came back, I was like, what?

And then I saw how Tony was, like, clearly a little uncomfortable. Oh, that's good. I was kind of laughing, like, inside. of laughing like inside okay oh that's such a relief what do you think their intentions were oh i know what their intentions were i'm pretty i'm pretty sure tony by the way is a really good looking guy and they like they swarmed in like locusts or whatever i don't know okay i think we're doing cicadas lately. Yeah, I thought of cicadas too, Brooke. But you said that you didn't blame that on him. I don't think

he invited us necessarily, but I started to get kind of irritated with these girls, these two girls. I was like, get the hint, ladies. Yeah. He's with me. So Tony was so like flummoxed or whatever that he didn't even notice that I called the waiter over.

And I was like, attempted to bribe the waiter to steal salsa on these girls. Did he do it? Did the waiter do it? That's awesome. How much money does something like that cost? I'm just curious. The waiter's probably annoyed with them, too, if they're this type of person. Salsa's like $6 plus tips.

I don't know, nine bucks. I waved a 20 at him and he was like, I'm sorry, I can't do that. I hope you gave that restaurant a bad review.

I still don't understand that you're not blaming Tony. So why are you mad at him? Why did you go, I don't blame Tony in the beginning for not doing anything. But by the end,

this went on for so long, he should have done more. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah. I think he feels that way too. Honestly, here's the deal.

You actually sound pretty understanding about the whole situation. You're giving Tony a little bit of leeway on it, but we can maybe fix this because I do have to let you know, Tony is currently listening to this conversation on the other line waiting to talk to you oh my god are you kidding me i'm serious no and the other girls are there no they're not that's a joke that's a joke just alexis and i that's the only women. Yeah. Tony, you there? Hi. Yeah, I am here. That's it.

That's very formal, Tony. Well, hello there. Hey, Tony. Hi. Yeah. Hi. Maybe you should say something to her. Yeah.

Well, first off, I just want to apologize for what happened. I had nothing to do with them coming over. Obviously, I didn't ask them, but I didn't know what to do, to be honest with you. It was a weird, awkward... It was our first date. I don't know these people at all. Okay, okay. That was good, Tony. You can let her respond to that. Yeah. Take a breath. Yeah, I get

it, and I appreciate the apology, Tony, but you already apologized. You told me that on the card. I'm not hearing anything new. Okay, come up with a better apology tony go ahead well i mean it does kind of sound like he's still blaming the women like he's not like you need to own up to like your own non-action a little bit more are you just like a very non-confrontational person brother like no i i would consider myself a non-confrontational person

that's why it was a tough position, too. Is that hot for you, Gemma? That's kind of a leading question. No. I mean, I don't want a guy punching people in the face, but you gotta be a little more forceful. I think he was just trying to be as respectful

as he could, and he handled it the wrong way. You're not a confrontational guy, either. You get where he's coming from. What are you saying, Brooke? Yeah. Oh! You trying to put me in a corner right now? He's not.

How dare you? He's compensating. Did I just break Jeff? Let's not turn this into a situation with us. Gemma, clearly Tony is remorseful about what happened and how he behaved. I'm sure he's even told us next time he doesn't want to do communal tables. Yeah, he's like, I will reserve a table for two. So we'd like to

help facilitate that second date and even pay for it if you're willing to give him another shot. What do you think, Jenna? I appreciate that offer, but I have just made a decision since this incident that I just, I don't want this to be my life going forward. I don't want to be going out

and fighting off girls, raping themselves all over my date. So I've made a couple of adjustments. What does that mean? Well, I'm going to date down. What? Hey! You're just going to date the guys that you find less attractive? What does that mean?

Less competition? I'm not going to go after the hottest guy and the dating profile because I just don't need this kind of headache. I mean, I like you, Tony, but you're just too attractive for what I'm looking for right now. I cannot deal with the competition. I don't know if we've heard that one on the second date update before. Dating is so backward. This is the most ridiculous response. I was not expecting that at all.

Convince her that you're not as attractive as she thinks you are. Yeah, you have no idea, Gemma, by the way. This never happens to me. Like, if I'm out with my friends, no girls are approaching me. That's not a hot spot. I usually repulse women. Yeah, it's your fault. Something's weird about you that you approaching me. That's not a hot breath. I usually repulse women. Yeah, it's your fault. Something's weird about you that you like me.

I swear I'll stop brushing my teeth and washing my face. I'm the girl magnet and your friends just repel them. Okay, great. It's your friend's fault. So he hasn't convinced you that he's ugly enough? I've been with him in person. He's cute. He knows he's cute and he's ugly enough? I've been with him in person. He's cute. He knows he's cute.

And he's not going to get any less cute. Well, Tony, you started with one woman on a date, landed two more, and now you've ended up with zero because you're too attractive. Now that's boy math. Well, it's like they always say, hot guys finish last. Oh, we always feel so bad for you hot guys. Yeah, poor guys. I feel like I need to stand up for my fellow nines and tens out there. Oh, you're going to put yourself in there?

And I need to say, stop the handsome hate. Yeah. Let's use that hashtag and start a movement. You think that's why we get any complaint for the radio station? It's just you're too good looking? All the time. Yeah. I'm sure that's why you're in radio.

I'm so happy. I'm so happy to be a seven. Yeah. I'm just cute. I'm so sorry that it didn't work out. Yeah. Yeah. I really am.

I bet that guy is so regretting him not getting the number for the two other women. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like he had a chance getting the number for the two other women. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like he had a chance, his one shot, and he blew it. Yeah. But there's always opportunities for you to meet people when you come on to this show. Email us.
