Ugh, we're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes.

Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.

My co-host Brian Murphy, Athletes First CEO, and I are sitting down with the agents who have negotiated contracts for Justin Herbert, Deshaun Watson, Dak Prescott, Tua Tugnavailoa, and Jordan Love. Listen to Athletes First Family Podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Second Date Update. Sometimes you can plan the perfect date,

but then some outside force that you can't control comes into play and changes everything. Like a hurricane. Okay. Okay. Probably shouldn't be going on a date if there's an imminent hurricane about to bear down on you. Sometimes you just need love.

I guess. I was thinking more like when Brooke was on a date eating her potato salad and a bird pooped on it. But it didn't stop her, though. Brooke kept on eating, holding eye contact with that dude the entire time. Okay, I can usually go along with these, but that one is

too far. I would not eat the potato salad. I would then steal his food and eat whatever he was eating, Jeffrey. I'm not sure if our listener Marshall has quite the same resilience as Brooke does on her dick. Let's find out though. Marshall, welcome to the show, man.

Hey, how's everyone doing? It sounds like better than you. It sounds like you had something terrible happen on your date. We don't know how terrible. Your setup made it feel awful. Bird poop doesn't sound that horrible. On your food? I don't know.

Before we get to the crazy whatever thing that happened that derailed the date, let's start with the girl that you met. Who's she? Yes. So her name's Julia. We met online. She's super cute. Okay. Was there something about her that stood out from everybody else?

Well, other than her beautiful smile and beautiful hair, of course, she had this beautiful dragon tattoo on her shoulder. And, like, you know, I'm really into like tattoos. And it was super hot. And it was just beautiful. It was beautiful. That's awesome. And that's a good like conversation point to come up on a date. Oh, I mean, people are so proud of their tattoos.

I bet she would love to have a compliment about it. Some girls get annoyed because guys always say the same thing. I like your tattoo. Did it hurt? You know, it's the same. I don your tattoo did it hurt you know i don't think that's bad it's when you ask what the meaning is that's what it means that should be because alexis hates meanings i just wanted one because i was drunk okay okay well at least the initial attraction was there for you what did you and julia do for your

date well i wanted to do something different. I didn't want to be like every other guy that was hitting her up online. I was like, well, let's do something somewhat romantic and get city scooters and ride around the city. Go to some of my favorite spots.

You know like the scooters that you can use your app on? Yeah. My husband and I do that sometimes. That doesn on and... Yeah. Like, rent them. Yeah. My husband and I do that sometimes. It's so fun. Uh-oh. That doesn't bode well for you, Marshall. Oh, no, we bring helmets, though, because there are a lot of people on those scooters...

Oh, no, you don't. ...that are not wearing helmets. I've never seen someone wear a helmet on those. Oh, I definitely do. Wow. You're going 20, 25 miles an hour, Alexis. Nice. Oh, no.

Okay. Did you go helmets or no helmets, Marshall? No helmets. No helmets. helmets or no helmets, Marshall? No helmets. All right. It's funny that you say that because everything was going well. We got ice cream. We got coffee and everything. But then we're at a crosswalk and this woman comes up. She says she's an ER doctor

and she's like, listen, I've been doing this for over 20 years and most of the injuries I've seen have come from those scooters right there. Oh god oh my god brooke was right that sucks though well like what a mood killer to happen in the middle of your scoot off or what are you doing yeah what do you even say or did you walk off and walk the scooter so you're safe well you know i'm sitting there and i'm like come on lady i'm obviously on a date here so So, you know, I kind of laugh it off. Ha, okay.

And so I'm like, let me get out of this situation as quick as possible. Laugh it off. Brain injuries. Ha, ha, ha, ha. As I was pulling away, you wouldn't believe it, I ran over this lady's foot. Are you serious? Oh. The irony.

I felt horrible. And she's yelling even louder. She's in pain. That's why you got to gun it and get away from the screams. After that point, I was like, I just want to be as far away from this lady as possible. She was okay. I took the tongue lashing, and I'm like, all right, let's just go. And Julia's not really wanting to ride these scooters anymore after that oh yeah weird time to park up yeah i mean did you guys just find a bar or something or a restaurant to go to

yeah actually we did i was like let's just go over here this is a nice spot we got a couple drinks and you know everything seemed cool yeah you read what she wanted right like that i mean it's good. Technically. Some people will be like, let's just keep going and ignore the other person's feelings. Why are you laughing? Every time it's like

any drink comes into playbooks, like, okay, good, good. Thank God. I mean, riding scooters, dangerous. Heavy drinking, thumbs up. No. I just mean it's good. Wear a helmet.

Yeah. I wear a helmet to wine night as well. No, I mean, it's good. Just wear a helmet. I wear a helmet to wine night as well. No, I mean it's good that he read what she wanted and needed. And salvaged the date from Total Desire. I mean, did you salvage it from that point? Did it feel good from that point on? Well, I thought so. I mean, we had a great time.

We shared laughs. We got a couple drinks and everything was fine. But, well, I've been trying to get in contact with her and have another date for the last two weeks, and she's just always had some other excuse, you know? She even told me that she's been going out on dates, which is cool. Don't get me wrong. Like, I get it.

She's a beautiful girl. Why say that? Do people say that to each other now? No, they shouldn't. You don't want to go out with them. She's telling you, I'm seeing other guys. I can't meet up with you. That's a bad sign.

I'm like, I don't know. I got a date Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, so I can't put you in. Well, she did say, let's pick another night. But it just seems like every night I pick, there's always something. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So maybe she was just saying that because she felt bad about that whole being real honest

thing with the date, you know? It is hard. Maybe not, though. But it might be a good sign that she's being totally transparent telling you what's going on in her life. That's true, too. But also, it's hard to reject people. So maybe she's hoping he figures it out.

How about we just find out? We need to figure it out. Oh, I have an idea. Let's call her. Yeah, we're going to call her. We're all going to have helmets before we make the call just because we don't know what disaster might be waiting on the other end. Thank God Brooke always has five in her car.

Seriously, you should wear a helmet on those things. All right. We're going to come back. On those second dates? An extra safe edition of your second date update right after this. Second date update. Oh, can you guys picture it right now? Picture what?

This is the background music I have in my head as Marshall navigates through the busy city sidewalks, cruising at three miles per hour without a helmet on. Whoa, it's like Frogger. Dodge the fire hydrant, Marshall. Uh-oh. Jump the manhole. Okay, Jeffrey. Yep. It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt. That's right, because he's an adrenaline junkie. Okay, Jeffrey. Yep. It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt.

That's right, because he's an adrenaline junkie. Oh, damn. Riding without a helmet on. That's probably why he called into the show this morning, just for the high of being on the radio. Uh-oh, open sewer coming up. Isn't that right, Marshall? You got your adrenaline fix just talking to us, didn't you?

Yeah, I did. Yeah. Adrenaline junkie. I see right through you. This sounds like the theme song of an 80s video game, by the way. Yeah, that's why I love Walker. Finally. We've all been there. The dangerous

streets. But the worst part of the date was when Marshall accidentally ran over a lady's foot who warned him that scooters are very dangerous and end up causing a lot of ER visits. And of course, it ended up happening during his date. And Brooke is upset he wasn't wearing a helmet the whole time. That's not about me.

I mean, it's about his date. Like, he was able to rescue the night. They went out, got some drinks, calmed down. At least we thought he rescued it. But it's been two weeks, and she still hasn't agreed to another date. Even told him that she's seeing another guy on one of the nights.

Kind of harsh. Yeah. But honest. Brutally honest. Yeah. And maybe that's a good sign. Marge, are you ready to call her here? Yeah, yeah.

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this. Buckle your helmet up. I mean, you don't sound like a dangerous guy. So I think that it's probably not the scooter mishap. That's what they say about all the most dangerous people in the world. I never would have suspected him to be the killer.ishap. That's what they say about all the most dangerous people in the world. I never would have suspected him to be the killer. So nice.

Oh my god. That doesn't make sense. No helmet. No helmet killer. Alright Marshall, let's just do this. I'm going to call Julia for you. Here we go. Hello? hello hey is this julia um may i ask who's calling yes you may ask we are question we are a radio show number yeah we have to protect our number because we're a radio show okay what is this about?

This is about a segment we do on Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. That's what this show is. It's called Second Date Update. Okay. And who is it you're looking for? For you. You're the star. Me. We heard about you through one of our listeners

named Marshall that apparently you went on a date with a couple weeks ago. Oh, Marshall. Yep. Oh, yeah. Okay. I think that sounded good. There was a smile on her face when she said his name.

For sure. Why would he have the radio calling me, though? It's just a little confusing because, you know, he has my number. So what's going on he's been using that number to try and ask you out but you keep brushing him off for being busy or maybe you're not brushing him off he doesn't know he felt like maybe that's why maybe you don't like him that much that's why he's going through us he's trying to get some clarity you know it's just how do i explain this and there's nothing wrong with him per se but i'm'm looking for a partner in life. I want my ride or die.

Like a ride or scooter or die maybe? Because we heard you guys rode city scooters. Oh my goodness. He told you. Yeah. Apparently this is the background music that was playing the entire time because you two are rebels who ride without helmets on. Yeah.

I mean, it's really honestly ride or die in that situation because you should be protecting your head. No, absolutely. Honestly, it didn't occur ride or die in that situation because you should be protecting your head. No, absolutely. Honestly, it didn't occur to me until after that woman, like, she sort of accosted us. But I didn't really think about it. Yeah, we heard there was an old lady that, like, approached you and said riding scooters causes a lot of ER visits. I think she was an ER doctor.

She could have maybe been, like, a little more pleasant about it. She sort of just, like, started shouting at us. And I think Marshall handled it all right. He got a little pan pleasant about it. She just like started shouting at us. And I think Marshall handled it all right. He got a little panicky. Yeah. Sounds fun, though. And I think Marshall even admitted that it was kind of an awkward moment in the date. But overall, when you look at Marshall as a person, we're not sure why you wouldn't want to see him one more time.

It's not that I don't want to see him. It's that he's not like giving me like that wow factor at least you know not in a good way like i mean yeah he's texted me but has he called me you know voice to voice and asked me out again a lot of people don't like that these days you're looking for he also hasn't like called me or like texted him like let's do this at this time on this date he's just like hey i had a good time and i'm like, let's do this at this time on this date. He's just like, hey, I had a good time. And I'm like, that's nice. But a lot of guys have had a good time with me.

I'm looking for the guy that's going to put that extra effort into it and make me feel like I'm one in a million. What if he's not trying to come off like super thirsty, though? Like what if he just wants to have a conversation throughout the day and then naturally bring up a date, you know? Yeah, I think he's trying to be respectful of you. There it is. That's what I was trying to say. Her explanation sounded really good to me. text is nothing i want flowers i want gestures so you're not even sure if he likes you no no she's saying that she needs more she knows

that he likes her but it's just not enough it's not a grand enough gesture and it's like in life she's looking for somebody who's going to put the work in. Absolutely. So, I mean, if you guys could actually just let him know that I'm not interested, that would be really helpful. Okay. So you know what you want and you don't think it's Marshall. Yeah. If you want us to tell him no, we could. Or honestly, you could just do it yourself because he's actually on the phone right now and has been listening in on this whole conversation. Come on.

Yeah. Look at that. This is exactly what I didn't want to do. Aw, you're laughing and smiling now. Yeah, but he's finally on the phone. Remember, that's what you wanted. Marsha, you there, man? Hey, Julia, sorry this is a little awkward.

I apologize about that. Yeah, Marsha, I don't know if you heard all that, but she was trying to tell you that she's not that interested and it's probably not going to happen. You know what? That's okay. I got the clarity that I needed. She's going to give up. I appreciate you being honest. Wait, seriously?

Well, I texted you and... Oh, you texted me? Everybody texted me. Are you kidding me? Oh my God. Oh my God. Give her. I'm not supposed to be a jerk here, but you went, you went through all this trouble, and you, like, you have me on the radio and everything, and I'm like, oh, no thanks. And you're just like, hey, bye? Like, where's the gesture?

What do you want me to do? He's listening to what you're saying. He's listening to me saying he's a great guy who's not showing enough enthusiasm. Like, what? It's one of those it's fine situations, but it's not fine. We've learned don't take no for an answer is not an acceptable thing anymore. I guess, yeah, that's true. That's not allowed.

A girl's like, never call me again. You go, okay, I'll respect that. And she's like, oh, now you're never going to call me again. Sometimes I mean it. Sometimes we mean it. You have to figure out when. I didn't say never call me again. I said, oh, he's really, really sweet, but I'm not that interested.

That's like a far cry from never call me again i gotta say though marshall i want him to call you even though you're not interested marshall i'm just kind of surprised that you're not putting up more of a fight either okay i well you know what i'm sorry i i guess i was just trying to fill out the situation i didn't want to bother you but i really wanted to see you, so do you want to go out with me? I would love to take you out again. Oh, man. I appreciate the offer, but I really am not interested. Oh!

What? You just set him up to turn him down. Oh, no. Julia. He doesn't care. Are you kidding me, Julia? He's already wrote him off. Come on.

Give him a chance. Like, he went the extra mile. He planned a unique date. You don't want a chance with this girl, bro. Look, Julia, I'm sorry about the scooters. We can wear a date. You don't want a chance with this girl, bro. Look, Julia, I'm sorry about the scooters. We can wear a helmet. You can do whatever you want. We can go to a bar. Marshall, oh my god, just

stop. Seriously, I've already said no. You're embarrassing yourself. Oh! You just told him. That's what you want him to do. You guys don't understand how any of this, it's only like eight no's how many no's does it take i said no to a guy like 15 to 20 times before i said yes like

this guy's still got a ways to go oh my god i think you're just gonna end up attracting red flag men from here on out guys do we just forever ask girls out and never take no? Well, we have to at least ask one more time officially for the rules. Julia, would you like to go out with Marshall again one more time? We would pay for it. Ask a few times. We have to get the no, I think. Oh, oh, oh.

He's so sweet, but no. Okay, so would you like to go out with Marshall one more time? We'd pay for it. I would not. Okay, one more time. Stop. Stop. Stop.

Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop for it. I would not. Stop. I'm done. Julie, that's too much. Just knock that into him. That's what it really came down to. You literally could have said that. We could have just ended it as soon as we got Marshall on the phone.

Sorry, Marshall. It's okay. I guess I wish I would have known sooner, but I mean, I wish you the best. There's some girls on the text board that would like your number. I have a feeling that we're not done with Marshall yet. We're going to have to do seven more second dates. We'll eventually get her

to say yes one of these days, bro. I'll teach him. You'll teach him. What? Oh, now Marshall's rolling around the city by himself looking for his next date. Speeding off into the sunset at a brisk four miles per hour.

One day, you'll come back at that date, buddy, alright? Alright, I appreciate you guys. Yeah, good luck. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Man, that really was just like an old school arcade game. How?

Sidewalk Scooter X. It was Frogger. And we tried to help Marshall beat that final boss level and get him a second date. Wait, you're making her the big monster at the end of the video game? Is that what you're doing? She's like the gorilla that's like... But we tried and tried until. Ran out of lives.

Good news is he can always pop in another quarter and try again. Eventually beat that game. No one ups there, I guess. No one ups. I would ask people to text in to 78592. Should Marshall keep trying to get another date? But I know 99% are going to say no no it's like she was

saying what she wanted and then when he gave it to her then she didn't want it anymore I think she just didn't want him do you know what I mean I think she could have had him I think in general I'm just going to speak for all of the people out there

for all the women listening and Brooke would agree with me on this I probably wouldn't continue whatever you're about to say I'm just going to speak for all of the people out there, for all the women listening. And Brooke would agree with me on this. I probably wouldn't continue whatever you're about to say. I'm just going to put it out there. Ladies, if you have certain rules and expectations about dating you, please let us know what they are. All right. That's valid. Okay.

Can we just know ahead of time instead of having to guess what it is you want and don't want? Yeah. I'm sure if you guess right, you move up in the ranks real fast. I'm actually with Jeff on that one. I mean, like a little handbook for everyone, men and women, would be really nice. But even if you don't know what you want, you can always email us. We'll call that person who isn't calling you back. Go check out all of our second day podcasts, wherever you get yours, at Brooke and Jeffrey.
