You're the reason why it's so amazing. Yeah, seriously. Thanks to everyone who found us and subscribed and forced their significant others to listen against their will, insisting like, no, no, trust me, it gets funny eventually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just gotta wait like 10, 50, 20 minutes.

You're only two or three years in. When you get to year four and five, they get almost good. Yes, we almost did agree. And that's how we were when we got to our number one second date update. This was one of the favorites, I think, of all time. It's called The Actual Notebook. Oh my God, I love this one.

And it's nothing like The Actual Notebook. Oh, shocking. Here it's the number one second date update. Enjoy. Second date update enjoy second date update you know one of my favorite memories of all time is going on a road trip with my family once i turned 21 and all of us simultaneously yelled at our driver to stop when we saw the sign wait jurassic bar uh, wait a minute. Not the Jurassic Bar. You were with your mom?

Yeah, what? The whole family. Mom, dad, and the sister. And it was just a regular bar, but with a dinosaur-themed night. Okay. And so if you went in, you got a dollar off your draft if you roared like a dinosaur. Oh, that's good.

And I don't know how many drinks my mom had that night, but again, we had a private chauffeur, so it didn't matter. Oh, I thought you meant like when you said driver like Uber. No, that's good. I don't know how many drinks my mom had that night, but again, we had a private chauffeur, so it didn't matter. Oh, I thought you meant when you said driver like Uber. No, no, no. He's our driver. So your driver. I see. And I'm sure our listeners have also had a lot of fun memories of certain

themed nights at different pubs around the country. And today, a guy named Reed sent us an email saying he believes he met the girl of his dreams recently at a themed bar night. I love when you relate to the regular people, Jeff. Reed, what's your driver's name?

It's tough. Unfortunately, no butlers in my life. There is a siren in my life. Oh, I've been to one of those theme bars where it's like ER. Have you seen those? No, honestly.

And they would give you shots in syringes. That was when you gave birth to your children. I know you had a lot of drugs pumping through you. That wasn't a bar. Dang it. Sorry about that, Reed. Let's get to you and your date. Where did you go? What was this themed bar night? It was very bar. Dang it. Sorry about that, Reed. Let's get to you and your date. Where did you go?

What was this themed bar night? It was very fun, very cool. It's a note-passing night. Have you heard of one of these? No. Is this middle school? Your Alexis has officially checked out already, though. You changed my mind.

Can you explain how does it work? So the way it actually works, when you go in, there's different tables set up. So what you can do is while you're there, you look around the tables and if you see someone that you might be interested in, you can anonymously send them a note

from your table. I have done something like this, actually. Have you? Is it like a singles event? I did it on Valentine's Day, so Cupid is the one who passed your notes between you. Someone dressed as Cupid. But if you don't ever know who the note's from, how do you meet the person? You could sign your name or not, when I went. It could be anonymous.

I don't know how his worked. So how did it go for you, Reed? It ended up going really well. I'd really kind of been in this habit of really only meeting through the apps. And I wanted to actually meet in person. And it seemed like a fun way to transition into that. Can I ask you, Reed, during the event, how many notes did you pass about other people? How many women were you note passing to?

So what ended up happening early on, I saw one girl who was rather attractive, and I was rather interested. Okay. Is this the girl that we're talking about for your second date update? It is. Can we know her name? It is.

Tina. Tina. What did you write to her? Actually, you know what I put in the first one? What'd you say? What'd you write? I put down, in two minutes, I'll walk past your table, and I hope to see that beautiful smile again.

And then I had to lay a dot, dot, dot, and I said, I already did that four times. Oh, is it a joke? Okay. Hopefully she got it, because it could be taken differently. Hovering. Did she write back and said, oh, you're the weird guy that keeps walking past me? That's that smell.

No, she liked it. She wrote back. And then we ended up passing the notes all night. Oh, just you and her. Yeah. And then the last one had her phone number on it. Wow. Dude, that's amazing, bro.

It worked out. Wait, is it silent in this bar? Like, can you not talk? Good question. Can you at least hear, like, anything? Just paper? Yeah. You can, actually, because it's people come in groups.

So she was in a group. Oh. Okay, so you're chatting with friends. Okay, so less awkward than I'm imagining. So at any point, do you go over and actually speak to her with your voice, or is it all note-passing? Here's the thing. You could, but

that night we didn't. I think we were just kind of enjoying the fun of the theme, and when she gave me her number, I ended up texting, and we've been texting for a couple weeks at this point and we still we still haven't actually spoke what you have no idea what her voice sounds like

no i have no idea wow okay this is interesting we don't have a whole lot to go off of then i guess what we need to do is hear some of the text that you guys have sent back and forth. Oh, that's a good idea. Like how flirty they are. Yeah, we get a sense of... Do you need that? Yes! I think it would give us a good idea of what we're working with here with Tina. Here, I'll let me find a good one.

Okay. I said, when can I see you again? Pick a day that ends in Y. Ah, that's cute. That's cute. It's so corny that ends in Y. Ah, that's cute. That's cute. It's so corny that it's funny. What, Alexis? Never mind.

I was trying to do math. Yeah. What is the girl math? Yeah. They all ended Y. It's more spelling than math on that one. Maybe Tina's just like Alexis and couldn't figure out a day. Well, I just instantly thought it was only weekdays, and I was like, well, that sucks.

Weekends are the best. All right. Alexis. Well, okay just instantly thought it was only weekdays and I was like, well, that sucks. Weekends are the best. Alright. What'd she say back? She just sent the laughy face. Oh. Oh, she laughed at it. That's a good thing. But they were supposed to set a date. Right. Bye. Well, here's the thing is like

you're obviously laying it on pretty thick with her right away through all the messages and texts. You're saying, like, she has a beautiful smile. You can't wait to see her again. Yeah, that's all nice. But is she reciprocating? A lot of times with girls, if you lay it on that thick, if there's no chase, they lose interest.

Absolutely. I mean, that is a thing. You can't be too available. So, we have enough, I think, to work with here. You are showing a lot of your cards early on, but maybe we can figure out more when we call her directly and you'll get to hear her voice for the very first time. That's crazy.

I hope she sounds like Gilbert Gottfried. Ah, yes! Hello! Well, who knows? Maybe that would be a turn-on for you. We're going to find out when we come back. We're going to call Tina and try and get your second date update right after this. Second date update.

On the phone with us today is a man who is good with his words. At least on paper. Yeah, for sure. And ironically his name is Reed. Oh, I didn't think of that. I didn't think of it either, Jeff. He's just so perfect for this. Please tell me his last name is right.

No, that's his brother. I'm playing the notebook music right now because his first meeting with a girl named Tina involved an actual notebook. It's actually a pretty cute meet cute. Yeah, because they were both at a themed bar night where you

could write letters to people at other tables and pass notes back and forth. And that's how we ended up getting Tina's number. They have been texting ever since. He just hasn't locked down an official date yet. Yeah. Like, maybe he's too eager is kind of what we were maybe thinking. Maybe picking up on.

There's also the tiny problem of the fact that they've never actually spoken words with their voices yet to each other. Small issues, Jeff. That's what texting's for. We are all, including him, going to hear her voice for the first time. So we've heard some of the texts, but I do want to get to the last text that she sent, because we never were able to get to it. Reed, can you read us the final text that you sent that she never responded to? I said, I miss you like stormtroopers miss their targets.

That's a lot, guys. A lot. Because they're like notoriously bad at shooting their guns. Yeah, shooting anyone at Star Wars. Brooks is like, yeah, I got it. No, I got it. It's not funny. But it's a lot. I would be freaked out a little bit if someone said I miss you when I haven't

spent any time in person with them. Just like going over what we were saying before, you've already kind of put all of your cards down on the table for her. Over and over. It's like you flipped them and then you flipped them again and then you flipped them out again. Are we going to try to hide some? Maybe. Maybe we try and be a little more coy when we're actually speaking with her.

Yeah, okay, okay. Maybe it was a little much. I thought it was fun, but maybe you guys can help balance me out. No, that's all right. It is fun. Two people get there together. It's sweet. You seem like a sweet dude.

I like you. I do. We're all here for you. Oh, actually, I'm going to be making the call, so never mind. Shut up. No, you're also here. Okay. I'm going to dial Tina right now.

We get to hear her voice for the very first time. Here we go. Hello? Hi, is this Tina? This is Tina. Who is this? Tina, you're on the radio right now. Hey!

With a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I'm not interested. Thanks. No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. I wouldn't be. We're not selling anything. It's not a spam call, Tina. Yeah, no, it's a legit thing.

We're doing a segment called the Second Date Update, and we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you've met before, sort of. Oh, my gosh. I've heard this before. For real? Yes. This is a real thing.

Isn't that fun? Okay. So I don't know if you remember this but the other night you met a guy at a note passing bar thing i think it was a couple weeks ago in fact yeah it may have been a while ago his name's reed yeah yeah yeah i know reed okay okay cool what do you think um he was nice. He was cute. We texted a little bit. Nice. Yeah.

Yeah, it was, like, fun, and I haven't met him or anything. Yeah, we heard that. We've heard a little bit about the bar night. What was the bar night like for you? I hadn't done anything like that before, but I ended up, I think, exchanging numbers with, like, three guys. Oh. Oh. Cool.

You were popular. Yeah, it was, like, more successful than I thought numbers with like three guys. Oh, cool. You were popular. Yeah, it was like more successful than I thought it was going to be. Okay. So you've been texting with a couple of guys from the thing. Yeah. I actually ended up going out with one of them like last week. Oh. Cheated on our boy. It's not a

cheat. I know. I'm kidding. Everyone calm down. Well, okay. That's totally fine. But has Reed been in your mind at all? Radar? I mean, like I said, we, like, text on and off throughout the week. And he's, like, cute. He's funny.

Kind of flirty. He's always, like, really jokey over text. But the thing is, he just hasn't actually asked me out yet. Oh. I see. jokey over text but the thing is he just hasn't actually asked me out yet like oh i see so you've been waiting for reed to like make the move and he hasn't gone for it yeah i just don't have time for like a text buddy or pen pal like do you want to bring me out or not yeah well that's a great question well before i tell you what i have to say here where is your relationship with the other guy at that you've

been out with one time i mean it's just kind of that like it was a good date he was cute he was nice we had like a little bit in common but it sounds boring so dinner i told him i'm down to go out again next week but it wasn't like oh my god god, head over heels immediately. It's just like, meh. But you're not exclusive with that guy, right? No, oh my god, that would be crazy. Okay, good. I'm really glad that you said that, and you know who's extra happy to hear it is Reed, because he's been on the other line listening this entire time. Oh my god, I was so worried you were going to say that.

Our boy Reed. Reed has been wanting to talk to you are you there i'm here i'm here say hi to tina for the very first time with your voice oh yeah uh yeah how about uh tina hands up i'm in the fbi and you're on my most wanted list. Bro, that's... You don't even give a... Are you not listening to what she was saying before about... Try again. I think he got nervous.

I'm just having a little fun. No, that's good. We understand. Maybe let's turn it off. All I'm saying is that when it comes to Christmas and Santa asks me what I want, Tina, I'm sending him a link to your IG. What are these one-liners?

It's pretty cringe, man. It's not cringe. It's just because she reminds me of someone. He's got something around you. I don't know if I like that. Who does she remind you of? My next girlfriend. Oh, my God.

Reed. I didn't see it coming. Reed, man. That was kind of funny. It kind of implies you have a current girlfriend, too. I know. Don't dissect it, okay? Let's just move on from it.

Reed, are you trying to just make these guys laugh, or are you trying to turn a woman on you can't do both okay you guys i'm just flirting with her we haven't actually talked yet i'm just i'm just getting started i'm just building up something do you have like a normal conversation question i don't know how tina's feeling about this read honestly i feel like I just like I dare you read to just say something That wasn't scripted Maybe just even ask her out just straight up. Yeah, that's a crazy idea I know I mean she teed you up better than I've ever heard anyone. She's begging for you to ask her out Go ahead read. How's your moment?

Okay I'm just wondering if maybe, Tina, would you want to be my little spoon? Little spoon? Hey, I want to take her out for soup. Soup? Tina, do you like soup? Nope. What?

Nope. Nope. Wait. What is happening? Is that a joke or is that not a joke? I don't know. It's like something my grandfather would really love. Like, oh, soup.

And you're like, Grandpa, do you really want soup? Like, no one knows. There's someone out there who's going to love this, but it's not me. I think he was trying to ask you out right there. If he's not going to do it, I'm just going to do it for him. Because we want the two of you to go out on a date in person. And we would pay for the date, Tina.

Hey, man. You kind of. That's what I was building up to. I was just going to ask her that. You stopped him. Well, we can't wait like 40 minutes for you to get every line out. We need to get to it. Yeah, we don't have a lot of time here.

So go ahead. Ask her yourself. Okay. No lines to get to it. Yeah, we don't have a lot of time here. So go ahead. Ask her yourself. Okay. No lines. You're single. I'm single. I feel like this is a problem we can solve together. Okay.

What? I never should have trusted this guy. I feel like I'm going to fight fire with fire, and I'm going to say, unfortunately, at this point, I'm going to make like a tree and leave. Yeah, we should light the trap fire. Now she's speaking Reed's language. I know. It could have been perfect.

We're perfect for each other. You hear that? How? She's funny. I'm funny. We have similar humor. Oh. I think she was being sarcastic.

I think you're misreading that. Yeah. Reed. You got to work on being more direct with these women that you like and just be yourself for a second you don't need all these lines reed you're you're a charming guy man she's wanting you already that is myself that's what i like okay well well maybe leave yourself on the side of the road first brooke and je and Jeffrey in the morning. You know what? This is his fault on that one.

You think? We can't take the blame for what just happened. Yeah. How does he memorize them all? I have no idea. I don't know where he has those from. Written on his hand? But there is a window after you meet someone when you really need to ask them out.

Like, you only have a certain amount of time. And not only did he miss his window, she opened up another window for him. And he missed that one, too. And she screamed through the window, this is the window. This is it. I will say yes to your question. So, gentlemen, make sure to find your window and jump through it. Yeah, bro.

Even if it's 20 stories up, some women are just worth it. Yeah. Okay? Even if it's 20 stories up, some women are just worth it. Yeah. The thing is, funny is good, but not funny every single thing. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Now you know why it's impossible for me to get a date. I know. We've solved the mystery. Finally. Maybe we can solve your mystery
