Second Date Update. I feel like modern dating has gotten so crazy lately. Sometimes you just have to take a page out of the old 1950s dating book. As a woman, I'm going to go with no one. No, I'm saying just go back to the basics. Keep it simple. Take your best gal to a movie. Split a cherry coke. Do a

little necking in the back row before you know it, you're going steady. Wow, going steady. I haven't heard that in a long time. And you've got yourself a little housewife. They're easy, you know? And that's what one of our listeners, Josh, did for his first date. He went old-fashioned, took his girl to a simple movie.

Isn't that right, Josh? Yeah, kind of. What do you mean, kind of? How is that a kind of? Like, you either went to the movies or you didn't. We went together, but we didn't go together. Not being clear here. You went together, but you didn't?

What's this girl's name, first of all? This girl's name is Renee. Okay. And what do you mean you and Renee kind of went together, but not really? Well, like long story short, we sat on opposite sides of the theater. Why? Wait, were you on a date with her or is this we're calling somebody you stalked for a couple hours in the movie theater and so i wore her skin the next day no i uh i'm joking but this was like the weirdest date i've ever been on okay so where did you meet renee Sorry, before the movie theater. I met her on a dating app.

Okay. Yeah, blah, blah, blah. But she was like so hot. Right. You know, I don't want to sound shallow or whatever, but she was like out of my league. No, congrats. We're all proud of you, bro. Yeah, that's awesome. Thanks, my dude.

I got you. Thanks, my dude. So what happened with the movies? Well, when we matched, she messaged me. She was like, okay, we can hang out or whatever. I can get to know you, but I have really specific rules. Oh. Only hot chicks have specific rules.

I know. That's because they can. That's because they can. I never had any rules when I dated for some reason. Women and their conditions. What were the rules? Well, the first one, she was like, I don't get physical on the first date and that has to be okay with you. Of course. I mean, that's

an understandable rule. I thought it was going to be something crazy, like you have to buy me steak dinner at a certain restaurant. Actually, I think the girls that don't want to get physical on the first date are the most quality women that are holding up. Oh, get out of here. Oh, come on. I wasn't saying that as a dig at you. I'm just

saying. the ones that don't sleep around the ones that don't like sex no it's not boring it shows that they know their own value and they're not going to give it up on the first day we were back to her rules what were her other rules yes yeah okay so she only had one other rule okay and that was that we should see a movie but we're not going to watch it in a traditional way. She was like, I'll meet you in the lobby. We'll share a snack for like 15 minutes or whatever and talk. Okay.

And then when we go into the movie, we will sit on opposite sides of the theater. What? Why? She said at the end of the movie, if you feel a connection before when we were talking, you walk to the center of the theater and we'll meet up and get a drink. And if not, then you just turn and go down the aisle and we don't have to see each other ever again. But I don't understand. Why even do the movie? Why not just go get coffee and spend 15 minutes together and then decide if you want to date then? No, I thought it was crazy,

but I went through with it because I think it could have been worth it. Okay. Because she's hot. Yeah, exactly. So was it? Was it worth it? No.

What happened? Well, I met her, and we, like, shared popcorn in the lobby, and I thought we had a connection. We were, like, laughing, and we had a lot of the same interests and stuff all right it was great and then like at one point she looks down at her phone and she's like oh the previews are about to start i guess we should go in

okay you don't want to miss those previews yeah and like before i could even say like oh yeah that sounds good she was already up and walking away that's not a good sign did you i mean like i would been like, oh man, I blew it. Well, part of me thought that and then part of me was like, is this just part of the rules

that I don't understand? Maybe you were already hitting it off. She could feel she wanted to kiss you and she had to leave. It does feel like some weird initiation

into a club. She's trying to be untouchable. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, it creates, it definitely creates a mystique around her.

Like, she obviously doesn't just date any guy and let anything happen. So how did the movie part go? Well, I couldn't even focus on the movie because where we ended up sitting, I could kind of see where she was at. Okay. But I just kept looking at her the whole time. I was wondering what's going to happen at the end of this movie. I couldn't even have fun and enjoy the movie. Oh, I could totally see that.

I mean, that'd be weird. Yeah. What about her, though? What was she doing? She didn't even look over once. Oh, she didn't? Oh, really? No, not a single time. She could feel your eyes burning into the back of her skull, probably. So by the end of the movie, what happened? So movie ends, credits start rolling. I kind of peek over. You know, the lights kind of come up in the theater like halfway. Everybody else is getting up and walking out. I'm looking over at her and she hasn't even gotten up yet. The credits are, she's like reading the credits. What were you doing?

Was your heart just beating out of your chest? Oh, it was going like a hundred miles an hour. And then finally the final credits roll. And then she just walks right down the aisle and out of the theater. Oh no. No. Yeah. I mean, are you still interested in this chick?

Because I think it's kind of messed up. She's not, Brooke. I mean, my ego is not too big. I would definitely meet up with her again. Okay. You'll take the abuse. Yeah, what do you think you did wrong during the movie? I mean, honestly, that's one of the reasons why I called

because I don't know what I did. He couldn't have done anything wrong, really. He could have done something at her. I mean, it sounds like this, who knows with her, right? It could just be because she was just saying if there's a connection. I mean, what a vague thing to say. But maybe it was a test where she wanted you to come up and break the rules. Oh, God.

Like a bad boy. I'm going to tell you right now, stay away from women with tests. They're all crazy All women play games, Brooke You should definitely make sure That your women get tested Before you go hang out with them I do not agree with that

But you know what? We're gonna play a song We'll come back We'll call Renee for you And we'll try and get you A second date update Alright, man? Thank you, guys

Alright, hold on Is it possible To have a long-distance relationship While being in the same room as someone that's a really funny way to put what happened i mean i'd say brooke's about six feet away from me right now brooke are you feeling what i'm feeling i'm not you don't even know what i'm feeling i i just know that i'm not i'm feeling a little bit weird maybe a little bit drunk too okay maybe i am all. There's something there.

But one of our listeners, Josh, told us he went to the movies with a woman named Renee, and she had some of the most extreme rules and conditions anyone could possibly put forward for a first date, because she said they were going to meet in the lobby, talk for a few minutes while eating snacks, and then they could go into the movie, but they had to sit on opposite ends of the theater so that they wouldn't have any physical contact because we all know kissing out of wedlock is a sin, and if you do it, you go to H-E double bendy straws. Stop it.

She never said that that was why. She just said that it was part of her rules. She said she wanted no physical contact. But it could have been something else. It could have been, I don't know. I think it's a game. Or she really doesn't like it. Well, after the film was over, she said if they felt a connection,

they could meet up again in the middle of the seats and then go out for a drink. That was the agreement. And Josh was okay with that. The movie happened. Lights came on. And Renee walked out. No explanation for why. And then sitting waiting for her to decide

through all the credits even. And Josh, you guys barely hung out before, right? Like how long were you together in the lobby? Couldn't have been longer than 15 minutes. See, so what could he have done in that time? Have you tried to call Renee? Yeah, I've texted her and tried to call her and I haven't gotten any response oh

my god i'm really impressed that like as she's walking out you didn't just scream why well you have that opportunity now after you hear what she says because we're about to call her you ready to do this man yeah okay i'm nervous it's like i'm back in the movie theater all over again this won't be that brutal it won't be that brutal. It won't be that brutal. Okay, well, let's dim the lights down like it's in the movies, and we're going to call her right now. Here we go.

Jeff, watch your hands. Hey. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Renee, please? May I ask who's calling? Yeah, my name's Jeffrey from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Who are you?

Wow, you really know how to hurt. But my name's Jeffrey. I work on a morning radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. The whole crew is here. Brooke, Jose, Alexis. Yep. Okay, Renee, cool.

I'm calling you today because we're doing something called a second date update. Have you ever heard of that before? No. Okay. Well, it's a segment that we do on our show. And basically the idea is if you go out on a date with someone and afterwards, if they're not calling you back,

you can email us and we'll reach out to that person for you to try and help you figure out the reason why. Okay. I guess I don't know why you're calling me. Well, we're calling you because a guy reached out to us. His name is Josh. Oh,

that's not a positive response when we said Josh. Yeah. I take it you remember him? Yeah, I went on a date with him. It didn't leak anything. That's pretty much the long and short of it. Josh told us all about your date, and I have to be honest,

it's one of the weirdest first dates we've ever heard on our show before i mean that's your opinion i just got out of like a really tough relationship and i do have like conditions now because yeah there's a lot of thirsty guys out there and i'm not about that life so i think that's fine but can i ask like what's the point of sitting on opposite sides of the movie theater because he told us about that like how do you ever get to know anyone if you don't spend any time with them on a date i mean we spend the 15 minutes together like you know he was a gentleman he bought popcorn like okay so before the movie you had a good interaction with him yeah i mean, I really wasn't sure if there was a connection.

I, you know, we talked. It was fine. And then he agreed to my conditions, which I thought was, like, a good sign. But then, I don't know. Like, it just didn't really work out. And, like, you guys don't have to agree with me on my conditions. That's just, like, how I feel. Like, that's just how I feel comfortable.

And he agreed to it. So there shouldn't be an issue. No, that's fine. Like, I'm not judging you on your condition. It was just unusual. We've never heard of it before. It's just why after he went through with all of it, I don't think a lot of guys would have gone through that. Why would you walk out without even saying anything to him?

Well, I mean, I wasn't exactly alone in the movie theater. What do you mean? Like, other people were watching the movie with you? Because it in the movie theater. What do you mean? Like other people were watching the movie with you? Because it's a public theater. I mean, obviously, Josh was in the theater too, so it couldn't have just been you. That's not what I mean. My brother was there at the movie too, actually. Oh, no.

Did you invite him? You set up a spy. You know, just because, like I said, I was in a really rough relationship and just, like, don't want to get hurt like that again. And my brother sat right behind Josh and saw Josh texting and flirting with another woman during our date. Oh, no. What? Yeah, but, okay, mate. Hold on.

Hold on. How? One, how did your brother see that? And two, you guys are an exclusive. You've gone on one date and you spent 15 minutes with a man. What, you want him to stop talking to all other women? During the movie, like, I mean, I just think that's super disrespectful and classless. Like, you don't text another woman, like.

Mid-date. I mean, the thing is mid-date. Oh, really, Brooke? It wasn't even barely a date. I don't know. I think texting in the movie theater is rude, period. The thing is, mid-date, it's a... Oh, really, Brooke? It wasn't even barely a date. I think texting in the movie theater is rude, period. Do you know what the text... That's weird, man.

What did the text say? They were just, like, super flirty to some girl named Andrea, and I was like, you can't refrain from texting other women for, like, an hour and a half. Like, that's just kind of really shady and gross to me, so I'm not going to deal with that. That's why I walked out. I mean, it sounds like you got really hurt.

And this past dude, your ex, really scarred you. But just because he's texting with another person while you're in the same movie theater, I mean, it's not even really a date you guys are on at that point. Yeah, Brooke supports cheating. It's okay. That's not true. It's okay. Sleep around with whoever you want, whenever you want.

But you know who I want to know? I want to know what Josh thinks about all this. Josh. Oh, I need to tell you. Sorry, Renee. Josh has been on the other line listening. He wants to talk to you. Jeffrey is fired up.

Well, I think it's rude. But Josh, what do you think? I do not know how to process this right now. Is it true? Is it true? It's kind of true. Oh, that means it's true. I mean, did you notice some dude

sitting behind you looking over your shoulder? No. I mean, to be honest, I was pretty fixated on you, Renee, for most of that movie. In between texts? I'm a little confused. He's not lying. He literally said you only turned maybe once. You almost never looked at him and he knew the exact's not lying. He literally said, you only termed maybe once.

You almost never looked at him, and he knew the exact moment you left. His eyes were on you, majority. Yeah. Melanie was texting Andrea, so I just want to know who Andrea is. Like, don't deny it, because I have screenshots. Okay. What? Damn.

It was just one text to my friend, Andrea, and I had been talking with her about this date before I went on it, and she asked me how the date was going halfway through, and I told her. I already know that's a lie because I have multiple screenshots of multiple texts, and you send your friends who are girls kissy faces and winky faces and eggplant emojis? No, I don't think so. Dude, that is so weird. Oh, now it's weird, Brooke.

No, not Josh, her. Your brother is Oh, now it's weird, Brooke. No, not Josh. Hers. Your brother is grabbing somebody else's cell phone? You can't spy on people during a date. I mean, Josh, are you upset or not? Yeah. I mean, that's super invasive. I think that your brother's on it. I mean, you shouldn't be texting other women during a date.

I think that's really crazy. Well, you were sitting on the other side of the theater. So what am i supposed to do twiddle my thumbs and wait for you to come over and sweep me off my feet what i mean josh just honestly just be honest with me like did you meet this andrea girl on the same dating site you met me yes oh but we went on like one date and we immediately were like there's no connection wasn't romantic and then we went out a couple more times as friends yeah oh i don't know man too much for me here i just still think that's weird that you texted her during our date like that just makes me feel like if you're willing

to do that then you'd be willing to cheat on me so like yeah i mean we're not concentrating on the spy brother mom okay well i'm focused on renee and her feelings. Specifically, Renee, if you feel like going out on one more date with Josh, because we'll pay for it. I have to ask that. I'm so sorry. I'm obligated to ask you if you'd like to see him again. I think probably not. I already don't trust this person. So it's kind of a moot point to go out again.

Oh, Renee. Josh, what do you feel? I am glad that I don't have to be watched again. I don't think I could go out with Renee and feel comfortable. Yeah. Okay, what about Andrea? Would you like to go out with Andrea one more time?

I mean, look, now that everything's out in the open, I was going out with Andrea a couple times. Oh, gosh. Josh, don't do me like that. out with Andrea a couple times. Josh, don't do me like that. Yeah, see, I could tell. I knew this guy was shady and rude. This was a roller coaster ride.

Yeah, I don't know if this is a successful second date update or not. I don't think it is. Dude, Renee is not fixing her trust issues right now. I'll tell you that. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
