Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second date, up Date. I saw a video posted by
a bridal stylist recently, and she talks to brides all
the time and always asks how they met their husband.
What's the number one way single people are finding their
spouses right now? The number one answer, she says, by far,
(00:22):
is on Hinge, not like Bumble or like specifically his
She says, Bumble is second. Nobody is on Tinder if
you're seriously trying to find marriage. Number three was a
little bit surprising, though, she said College Sweethearts not a
website like people who actually met in College.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Sweethearts, people who met looking for sugar Dad.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's like the relationship lasted beyond graduation.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
That's a weird one.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
And then the rarest is meeting somebody naturally out in
the wild. And I don't know if I hear animal
noises right now, but that's exactly what happened with one
of our listeners, Chad. How wild was He was a
lone tiger loose in the jungle, roman free till a
certain frisky feline caught his eye. So let's learn about it.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Chad.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Hey, thanks, Hey.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
You're welcome.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Chad.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You sound like a frisky feli.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, you know he's the prowling tiger.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yeah, I still a feline.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Well, yeah, a big feeling.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And tell us about the girl that you met. What's
her name?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Her name is Lucy?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Okay, and we're out in the wild. Did you meet Lucy?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I met Lucy at a furniture store.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Why does that scream awesome? Because like shopping for furniture,
I could see girls out and about.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Everyone at the furniture store is married. Yeah, I've never
stepped in.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Also they got money, because furniture is not She you
spending a couple hundred bucks? Yeah, so you were.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You were like a legit store. This wasn't like assembly
your furniture.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
One of the nice shots fired at IKEA. So how
did you and Lucy? Like, how did that interaction happen
in the store?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Well, I was walking around the store. I was just
there looking to upgrade my place, and I had zeroed
in on this one sofa. But then Lucy came in
and was looking at the exact same couch.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah style arm wrestle. Who for Whoever's gonna buy it?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I mean I wish I could have. I mean, I
would have loved to have done that.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Did you do the gentleman and buy the couch for her?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I don't have that much money.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I'm what was your move?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
The move was just to kind of like what do
you like about the couch? And then it just kind
of got to a level where we weren't just talking
about a couch.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
And you're going to have to spoon on it together
to see if two people fit. That's important.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
That's a really weird way of flirting. I will say,
I feel like we shouldn't have heard a let.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, it didn't get too racy. We just kept like
trying it out.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Okay, shocked it didn't get sexual.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
That's cute though. That's a really organic way to have conversations.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It is good because you're kind of playing like you're
a couple already by like shopping together. It kind of
like plants that image into your mind in a in
a subtle way, so.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
That it's important for him to know if women like
this couch.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, were you able to spin it into a date?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yeah? It come to find out we both wanted to couch.
There's salespeople at these high end furniture stores, and so
it's like, okay, we're both interested in the couch, and
the guys like, this is it? There's just the one go.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, and then you guys started a fight, so what's
the move?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
So I was like, okay, well we both want the couch,
but if you want me to let you have it,
then why don't you give me something in return? You know,
like your phone number?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Okay, because they also sell beds over here, so that's.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
A good way to get her number. Did she like that?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah, I mean good enough to give me the number.
I mean she got the couch, so yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
The couch.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Hold up, hold up, you got the number, and now
she's ghosting you.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I think they went out.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Did so, Like fast forward to like the next three days,
and we're texting a lot. I mean like, and I
say that a lot, I mean like fifty times a day,
well a day.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Wow, you haven't texted anybody fifty times in my whole life,
like each other day.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
So we scheduled a date and then she backed out
and I wanted to reschedule, and then like she backed
out again the night before Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Are you okay?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Convincing herself not to go on.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
So it's weird that you guys were talking so much
though via text.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
I don't know someone who can't say no. I would
probably give out my number and talk for a few
days to not feel bad, and the couch is delivered
and not my.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Home and then stop text and then you finally would
be over.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, yeah, okay, chat. Are you feeling like maybe the
only reason that she said she would like give the
number and go out on a date was just to
get the couch, Like that was the whole point of it.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
That thought has crossed my mind. But then there's all
these texts in between. So then like I did like
a little recon I like googled myself and I was like,
all right, nothing weird came up here. That was good.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I mean, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
She gave you her number, but she could have easily
given you a fake number.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Yeah that's true.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You know, she didn't have to give you her real
phone number.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, it's weird that she's backing out all of a sudden.
We're gonna call Lucy and try and get to the
bottom of this, because if she says no to going
out with you, then you deserve that couch. In my opinion, that.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Wasn't the deal. It was just a phone number. Jeff.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Oh yeah, sorry, that was on you, Chad. Improve your
negotiation still.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I know I thought it was a fair deal, but
it turns out not so much. Yeah, but anyways, I
need your help and hope you can help me out.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
All right, Well, we're going to try our best. We'll
come back and get you your second date update right
after this man hold on second date update. I'm not
a lawyer, but Chad, if we're not successful in getting
you another date, what about at least getting you visitation
with the couch? Just like one week couch doesn't need
(06:34):
to be much, just one weekend a month, maybe split
it on holidays. We can negotiate something.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yeah sure, Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
You know, shared custody is what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, okay. Chad seems to like that idea, because if
you miss part one. He met Lucy at a furniture
store recently when they both liked the same exact couch,
but he generously let her have it if in exchange
she gave him his number.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, that was the deal that they made.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, it was. It was a smooth move. But she
keeps backing out of dates now and now their initial
flame has pretty much gone completely ice cold. Yeah, they're
losing chemistry fast. So we he doesn't know why. We
need to try and help figure it out.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Can I ask Chad the one thing I never you know,
we never really got into you said, you guys texted
back and forth a ton. Was there any like inappropriate
texting or something that.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Could have or could have been read wrong?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Even you know, sometimes you said something thinking you're joking
and the other person doesn't.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Read it right?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Can you read some inappropriate text to Brook right now?
She really wants to hear something, just lead.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Is there something that stands out in all of those conversations.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
That you had?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
No, I mean it was flirty, but without crossing the line.
It's the way I think about it. Asked about the couch,
you know's.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
How's the couch doing?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I think he really did that though. That's what he said, okay,
laughed like an innuendo, like the couch.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I don't know, No, hes like, how's the couch doing?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
How I heard it?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Okay? See this is what text messaging is like right now.
You can't tell tone.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
If someone text me how's the couch? Ha ha, I
would not stand.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Chat it's okay, let's call Lucy and uh, hopefully it's
not what we were talking about earlier too, where it
was just all a big scam so that she could
get the couch have him back off of it, because
it is very smart and percent your phone.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
If that's the case scam, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I mean she just said, oh, well, thank you and
smiled and gave you your number. That's all that you asked.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
There's no one in the room that wouldn't agree with that. Yeah,
let's hope that the.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Couch the case. Then I don't know why she would
even agree to go out with me at the start
of it.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
It's a good point.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, solid, that's true. So hopefully there's an explanation. Let
me dial her number right now. Let's see if she
picks up. Here we go, Hello, Hey, we're looking to
speak with Lucy. Oh yeah, we're a radio show called
(09:10):
Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Hey, Lucy, your morning. You're on the show, Lucy.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Okay, what's this about.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
It's our couch reviews segment in a way.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah, because we're doing a segment called second Date Update.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh, you don't know what that is. It's a segment
we do where if someone's in like a dating scenario
and a person blows you off or you're not getting
back to them, we'll reach out on behalf of that
person to try and figure out if there's a reason
for it, just to like help them understand what's going on.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And this one's kind of out of the norm because
you never actually went on a first.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Date, right, Yeah, because we're talking about a guy named Chad.
Are you sorry? We don't need to explain more like
couch guy. You know exactly who we're talking about. Yeah,
we are not. Chad says that you guys met at
a furniture store and you exchange numbers.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It seemed like there was like some flirtation there. Did
he read that right?
Speaker 5 (10:12):
I mean, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Have a good reason for it, but it would just
be super uncomfortable to tell him, Oh, you.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Have a good reason for not calling him back or
going on the date.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, because he said that you guys had scheduled dates
and you kept bailing.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yes, I did bail.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Wait can I ask her just blunt like, did you
scammer boy?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Did you just get I think the question is did
you ever have any intention of actually going on a date.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Okay, then now let me ask, did you ever have
any intention of actually going on a date? Edited so
I sound smarter, Yeah, thanks, Jeff.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
I mean I wasn't to go on a date with him.
I didn't. Oh, okay, I didn't have a problem with him.
It was just like I got the whole couch thing.
And then a few days after I met Chad, I
came back to the furnitu your place with some of
my friends to pick up the couch because one of
my friends the pickup truck.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, you got a friend with the truck didn't delivery. Yeah,
you have not. Everyone could afford two thousand probably would
have got it.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Jeff doesn't have truck. Guys in his friends.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Say, He's like, I just have one of my assistants
to make me a new couch.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Do you want me to come by with my escalade?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So you guys know how it works. Yeah, okay, okay,
you went to the store to pick it up yourself.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, was some friends and then what happened?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah, so I went inside to pay and who do
I see?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Chad?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Why is that that? Wait, he needs to couch?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah, you took the couch that he wanted. To buy,
so he probably had to get a new one.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Okay, No, he wasn't like shopping.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
He was asleep on one of the couches, like in
the back room area. I didn't even know what to do.
He didn't see me, Like he was asleep, he didn't
see My eyes were closed.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Maybe he was just trying to couch out too hard.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, no, way too hard.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
It was so awkward.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
So I was just gonna leave. But I just asked
the cashier. I was like, Hey, what's the deal with
that guy on the great couch? And he's like, oh.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
That's the Napper.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
But like he just said it, like.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
It's a nickname, the Nap, the Knapper. What Yeah, they
called him the Knapper.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
The Knapper Okay, so he got a nickname for him.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
So like apparently he comes in during his lunch break
and he takes off his shoes and he takes a literal.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Nap nomes that often.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
He said that the boss, like the manager lets him
do it because like once a month he buys all
the employees lunch.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Oh they just let him do it.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Oh wow, smart, that's a hack. So he's sleeping during
his lunch break.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
What's going through your mind as they're telling you this.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Lucy, I don't want to go out with the napper, like,
especially that he has a nickname.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, but he liked the catch you were on. He's
tried them all out at the store. Yeah, Like you
just happened to be talking to the expert.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
And he has a house, like he just goes during
he's yeah, makes money.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
But you're turned off by the idea of a guy
who spends every lunch break going into a nap store
and hanging out a nap store. Well, sorry, soy furniture
store and earned earned a reputation as a napper honestly though.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Rebranding a furniture store to the nap store, so.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Well, then everybody's going to be doing it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I think you should give him a second chance on
that one.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I think you should at least hear him out on
what he has to say, Lucy, because he is on
the other line right now listening, unless he fell asleep
in his new face. So chaty there, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I'm here, Hi, Yeah, Hi.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Chat is so weird that you have a reputation of
a guy who naps in public.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I mean, I don't understand what the big deal is.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
I mean, it's like going into a subway and making
your own sandwich.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
You just don't do that. If I could go into
way and make my own sandwich, I do it. But
I mean it. I mean it's right near my work.
They have nice employees. Obviously, they have really comfy furniture,
so they get new furniture in. I get to test,
like the couches, and I know which ones are like
the softest and the best. And that's why I was
(14:11):
like zeroed in on the one you bought.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
On the couch that I bought.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah, I wanted to buy it. I told you it
was soft the day. I mean, skin cells are gross.
We're going to go on a date. I mean, you'd
probably have your tongue in my mouth.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Who too much? A good nap is? Really?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Yeah, that's the way I live. Man.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
We're not talking about if naps are good or not.
We're talking about if Lucy is attracted to a man
who does that.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I don't understand much that he has a moniker his
own nickname. I still haven't heard a solid reason, Lucy,
why this is a turnoff.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
YEA, explain it to Chad.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Guys. It's weird and it's embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah, but it's only the tile guy who knows about it.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
You know. Yeah, we're not going on dates at the
furniture store.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
If you really aren't that embarrassed by why didn't you
say that when we met?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Why weren't you like, Hey, I really like this couch.
I've been sleeping on it for the last three weeks.
Maybe I should have because you know that's weird, Coach.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
That doesn't sound right.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
You guys sound like you actually have some chemistry here.
I don't think that you should let this like get
in the way.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And if you're willing to not let it get in
the way, then I guess we're willing to pay for
it for your next date.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
No, because if I like him, now I'm dating the
napper and I just don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
But he's resourceful, he's friendly, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
He knows where tongues go. And hopefully he has enough
money to get your couch officially clean too, Lucy, with
all those debts in cells that he's left on.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I would be more worried about the slobbery.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Bro. Hey, look, I just want to let you know
I did not leave any residue on your cat pretty.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Have to say it. I tell every girl I talked to,
I did not leave residue.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
On your cap.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Jeffrey in the morning. You know, it was interesting to
hear broken Alexis'.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Take on that why you were so anti.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I'm not anti.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I'm just saying it felt like it though.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, well it was just if it was me and
I walked into a store and I saw the person
that I was scheduled to date sleeping there, and I
found out all of the employees know that person as
the sleeper during treat It would it's still that would
be like, this is kind of weird. I would take
a step back and reassessing it's.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
Because we've all slept and taken naps in our car before.
I feel like he's actually taking a one up from us.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
But you know, he didn't add a car before I
came over here.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Yeah, do you.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Know what we didn't ask those if he was an
ugly sleeper because.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yeah, so didn't really understand Brooks point that she'd saddle
up next to him and spoon him.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
That was the testing out of the couch. That's what
my husband and I do.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
We need to know if we both fit on the
couch together when walking TV.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
That's that's really sweet.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
What isn't that important?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I see it's just when I'm looking at the Textport
seventy five nine two, it is split. Some people thought
that it was weird. Some people are like, that's awesome.
Good for that guy.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Yeah, Ednie buys the employees lunch. Yeah, they're taking it,
taking advantage of them.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, that's why they let it. Let's normalize napping and
random Yes on board, they today do not judge. She
wants you to cuddle up.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Right next to put one of those scarves around now.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yeah, but Gusha had all of our second date updates
where you get your podcasts are available online have broken.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Jefferson Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning
Second date, up Date. I saw a video posted by
a bridal stylist recently, and she talks to brides all
the time and always asks how they met their husband.
What's the number one way single people are finding their
spouses right now? The number one answer, she says, by far,
(00:22):
is on Hinge, not like Bumble or like specifically his
She says, Bumble is second. Nobody is on Tinder if
you're seriously trying to find marriage. Number three was a
little bit surprising, though, she said College Sweethearts not a
website like people who actually met in College.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Sweethearts, people who met looking for sugar Dad.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's like the relationship lasted beyond graduation.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
That's a weird one.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
And then the rarest is meeting somebody naturally out in
the wild. And I don't know if I hear animal
noises right now, but that's exactly what happened with one
of our listeners, Chad. How wild was He was a
lone tiger loose in the jungle, roman free till a
certain frisky feline caught his eye. So let's learn about it.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Chad.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Hey, thanks, Hey.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
You're welcome.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Chad.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
You sound like a frisky feli.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, you know he's the prowling tiger.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yeah, I still a feline.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Well, yeah, a big feeling.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And tell us about the girl that you met. What's
her name?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Her name is Lucy?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Okay, and we're out in the wild. Did you meet Lucy?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I met Lucy at a furniture store.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Why does that scream awesome? Because like shopping for furniture,
I could see girls out and about.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Everyone at the furniture store is married. Yeah, I've never
stepped in.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Also they got money, because furniture is not She you
spending a couple hundred bucks? Yeah, so you were.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
You were like a legit store. This wasn't like assembly
your furniture.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
One of the nice shots fired at IKEA. So how
did you and Lucy? Like, how did that interaction happen
in the store?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Well, I was walking around the store. I was just
there looking to upgrade my place, and I had zeroed
in on this one sofa. But then Lucy came in
and was looking at the exact same couch.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah style arm wrestle. Who for Whoever's gonna buy it?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I mean I wish I could have. I mean, I
would have loved to have done that.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Did you do the gentleman and buy the couch for her?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I don't have that much money.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I'm what was your move?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
The move was just to kind of like what do
you like about the couch? And then it just kind
of got to a level where we weren't just talking
about a couch.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
And you're going to have to spoon on it together
to see if two people fit. That's important.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
That's a really weird way of flirting. I will say,
I feel like we shouldn't have heard a let.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, it didn't get too racy. We just kept like
trying it out.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Okay, shocked it didn't get sexual.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
That's cute though. That's a really organic way to have conversations.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It is good because you're kind of playing like you're
a couple already by like shopping together. It kind of
like plants that image into your mind in a in
a subtle way, so.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
That it's important for him to know if women like
this couch.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, were you able to spin it into a date?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yeah? It come to find out we both wanted to couch.
There's salespeople at these high end furniture stores, and so
it's like, okay, we're both interested in the couch, and
the guys like, this is it? There's just the one go.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, and then you guys started a fight, so what's
the move?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
So I was like, okay, well we both want the couch,
but if you want me to let you have it,
then why don't you give me something in return? You know,
like your phone number?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Okay, because they also sell beds over here, so that's.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
A good way to get her number. Did she like that?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah, I mean good enough to give me the number.
I mean she got the couch, so yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
The couch.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Hold up, hold up, you got the number, and now
she's ghosting you.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I think they went out.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Did so, Like fast forward to like the next three days,
and we're texting a lot. I mean like, and I
say that a lot, I mean like fifty times a day,
well a day.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Wow, you haven't texted anybody fifty times in my whole life,
like each other day.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
So we scheduled a date and then she backed out
and I wanted to reschedule, and then like she backed
out again the night before Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Are you okay?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Convincing herself not to go on.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
So it's weird that you guys were talking so much
though via text.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
I don't know someone who can't say no. I would
probably give out my number and talk for a few
days to not feel bad, and the couch is delivered
and not my.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Home and then stop text and then you finally would
be over.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, yeah, okay, chat. Are you feeling like maybe the
only reason that she said she would like give the
number and go out on a date was just to
get the couch, Like that was the whole point of it.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
That thought has crossed my mind. But then there's all
these texts in between. So then like I did like
a little recon I like googled myself and I was like,
all right, nothing weird came up here. That was good.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I mean, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
She gave you her number, but she could have easily
given you a fake number.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Yeah that's true.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You know, she didn't have to give you her real
phone number.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, it's weird that she's backing out all of a sudden.
We're gonna call Lucy and try and get to the
bottom of this, because if she says no to going
out with you, then you deserve that couch. In my opinion, that.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Wasn't the deal. It was just a phone number. Jeff.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Oh yeah, sorry, that was on you, Chad. Improve your
negotiation still.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
I know I thought it was a fair deal, but
it turns out not so much. Yeah, but anyways, I
need your help and hope you can help me out.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
All right, Well, we're going to try our best. We'll
come back and get you your second date update right
after this man hold on second date update. I'm not
a lawyer, but Chad, if we're not successful in getting
you another date, what about at least getting you visitation
with the couch? Just like one week couch doesn't need
(06:34):
to be much, just one weekend a month, maybe split
it on holidays. We can negotiate something.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yeah sure, Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
You know, shared custody is what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, okay. Chad seems to like that idea, because if
you miss part one. He met Lucy at a furniture
store recently when they both liked the same exact couch,
but he generously let her have it if in exchange
she gave him his number.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, that was the deal that they made.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, it was. It was a smooth move. But she
keeps backing out of dates now and now their initial
flame has pretty much gone completely ice cold. Yeah, they're
losing chemistry fast. So we he doesn't know why. We
need to try and help figure it out.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Can I ask Chad the one thing I never you know,
we never really got into you said, you guys texted
back and forth a ton. Was there any like inappropriate
texting or something that.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Could have or could have been read wrong?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Even you know, sometimes you said something thinking you're joking
and the other person doesn't.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Read it right?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Can you read some inappropriate text to Brook right now?
She really wants to hear something, just lead.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Is there something that stands out in all of those conversations.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
That you had?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
No, I mean it was flirty, but without crossing the line.
It's the way I think about it. Asked about the couch,
you know's.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
How's the couch doing?
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I think he really did that though. That's what he said, okay,
laughed like an innuendo, like the couch.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I don't know, No, hes like, how's the couch doing?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
How I heard it?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Okay? See this is what text messaging is like right now.
You can't tell tone.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
If someone text me how's the couch? Ha ha, I
would not stand.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Chat it's okay, let's call Lucy and uh, hopefully it's
not what we were talking about earlier too, where it
was just all a big scam so that she could
get the couch have him back off of it, because
it is very smart and percent your phone.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
If that's the case scam, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I mean she just said, oh, well, thank you and
smiled and gave you your number. That's all that you asked.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
There's no one in the room that wouldn't agree with that. Yeah,
let's hope that the.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Couch the case. Then I don't know why she would
even agree to go out with me at the start
of it.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
It's a good point.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah, solid, that's true. So hopefully there's an explanation. Let
me dial her number right now. Let's see if she
picks up. Here we go, Hello, Hey, we're looking to
speak with Lucy. Oh yeah, we're a radio show called
(09:10):
Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Hey, Lucy, your morning. You're on the show, Lucy.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Okay, what's this about.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
It's our couch reviews segment in a way.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah, because we're doing a segment called second Date Update.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh, you don't know what that is. It's a segment
we do where if someone's in like a dating scenario
and a person blows you off or you're not getting
back to them, we'll reach out on behalf of that
person to try and figure out if there's a reason
for it, just to like help them understand what's going on.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And this one's kind of out of the norm because
you never actually went on a first.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Date, right, Yeah, because we're talking about a guy named Chad.
Are you sorry? We don't need to explain more like
couch guy. You know exactly who we're talking about. Yeah,
we are not. Chad says that you guys met at
a furniture store and you exchange numbers.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It seemed like there was like some flirtation there. Did
he read that right?
Speaker 5 (10:12):
I mean, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Have a good reason for it, but it would just
be super uncomfortable to tell him, Oh, you.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Have a good reason for not calling him back or
going on the date.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, because he said that you guys had scheduled dates
and you kept bailing.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Yes, I did bail.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Wait can I ask her just blunt like, did you
scammer boy?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Did you just get I think the question is did
you ever have any intention of actually going on a date.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Okay, then now let me ask, did you ever have
any intention of actually going on a date? Edited so
I sound smarter, Yeah, thanks, Jeff.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
I mean I wasn't to go on a date with him.
I didn't. Oh, okay, I didn't have a problem with him.
It was just like I got the whole couch thing.
And then a few days after I met Chad, I
came back to the furnitu your place with some of
my friends to pick up the couch because one of
my friends the pickup truck.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, you got a friend with the truck didn't delivery. Yeah,
you have not. Everyone could afford two thousand probably would
have got it.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Jeff doesn't have truck. Guys in his friends.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Say, He's like, I just have one of my assistants
to make me a new couch.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Do you want me to come by with my escalade?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So you guys know how it works. Yeah, okay, okay,
you went to the store to pick it up yourself.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, was some friends and then what happened?
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah, so I went inside to pay and who do
I see?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Chad?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Why is that that? Wait, he needs to couch?
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah, you took the couch that he wanted. To buy,
so he probably had to get a new one.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Okay, No, he wasn't like shopping.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
He was asleep on one of the couches, like in
the back room area. I didn't even know what to do.
He didn't see me, Like he was asleep, he didn't
see My eyes were closed.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Maybe he was just trying to couch out too hard.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, no, way too hard.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
It was so awkward.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
So I was just gonna leave. But I just asked
the cashier. I was like, Hey, what's the deal with
that guy on the great couch? And he's like, oh.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
That's the Napper.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
But like he just said it, like.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
It's a nickname, the Nap, the Knapper. What Yeah, they
called him the Knapper.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
The Knapper Okay, so he got a nickname for him.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
So like apparently he comes in during his lunch break
and he takes off his shoes and he takes a literal.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Nap nomes that often.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
He said that the boss, like the manager lets him
do it because like once a month he buys all
the employees lunch.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Oh they just let him do it.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Oh wow, smart, that's a hack. So he's sleeping during
his lunch break.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
What's going through your mind as they're telling you this.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Lucy, I don't want to go out with the napper, like,
especially that he has a nickname.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, but he liked the catch you were on. He's
tried them all out at the store. Yeah, Like you
just happened to be talking to the expert.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
And he has a house, like he just goes during
he's yeah, makes money.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
But you're turned off by the idea of a guy
who spends every lunch break going into a nap store
and hanging out a nap store. Well, sorry, soy furniture
store and earned earned a reputation as a napper honestly though.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Rebranding a furniture store to the nap store, so.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Well, then everybody's going to be doing it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I think you should give him a second chance on
that one.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I think you should at least hear him out on
what he has to say, Lucy, because he is on
the other line right now listening, unless he fell asleep
in his new face. So chaty there, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I'm here, Hi, Yeah, Hi.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Chat is so weird that you have a reputation of
a guy who naps in public.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
I mean, I don't understand what the big deal is.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
I mean, it's like going into a subway and making
your own sandwich.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
You just don't do that. If I could go into
way and make my own sandwich, I do it. But
I mean it. I mean it's right near my work.
They have nice employees. Obviously, they have really comfy furniture,
so they get new furniture in. I get to test,
like the couches, and I know which ones are like
the softest and the best. And that's why I was
(14:11):
like zeroed in on the one you bought.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
On the couch that I bought.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah, I wanted to buy it. I told you it
was soft the day. I mean, skin cells are gross.
We're going to go on a date. I mean, you'd
probably have your tongue in my mouth.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Who too much? A good nap is? Really?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Yeah, that's the way I live. Man.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
We're not talking about if naps are good or not.
We're talking about if Lucy is attracted to a man
who does that.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I don't understand much that he has a moniker his
own nickname. I still haven't heard a solid reason, Lucy,
why this is a turnoff.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
YEA, explain it to Chad.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Guys. It's weird and it's embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah, but it's only the tile guy who knows about it.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
You know. Yeah, we're not going on dates at the
furniture store.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
If you really aren't that embarrassed by why didn't you
say that when we met?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Why weren't you like, Hey, I really like this couch.
I've been sleeping on it for the last three weeks.
Maybe I should have because you know that's weird, Coach.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
That doesn't sound right.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
You guys sound like you actually have some chemistry here.
I don't think that you should let this like get
in the way.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And if you're willing to not let it get in
the way, then I guess we're willing to pay for
it for your next date.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
No, because if I like him, now I'm dating the
napper and I just don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
But he's resourceful, he's friendly, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
He knows where tongues go. And hopefully he has enough
money to get your couch officially clean too, Lucy, with
all those debts in cells that he's left on.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I would be more worried about the slobbery.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Bro. Hey, look, I just want to let you know
I did not leave any residue on your cat pretty.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Have to say it. I tell every girl I talked to,
I did not leave residue.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
On your cap.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Jeffrey in the morning. You know, it was interesting to
hear broken Alexis'.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Take on that why you were so anti.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I'm not anti.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I'm just saying it felt like it though.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, well it was just if it was me and
I walked into a store and I saw the person
that I was scheduled to date sleeping there, and I
found out all of the employees know that person as
the sleeper during treat It would it's still that would
be like, this is kind of weird. I would take
a step back and reassessing it's.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
Because we've all slept and taken naps in our car before.
I feel like he's actually taking a one up from us.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
But you know, he didn't add a car before I
came over here.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Yeah, do you.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Know what we didn't ask those if he was an
ugly sleeper because.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yeah, so didn't really understand Brooks point that she'd saddle
up next to him and spoon him.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
That was the testing out of the couch. That's what
my husband and I do.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
We need to know if we both fit on the
couch together when walking TV.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
That's that's really sweet.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
What isn't that important?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I see it's just when I'm looking at the Textport
seventy five nine two, it is split. Some people thought
that it was weird. Some people are like, that's awesome.
Good for that guy.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Yeah, Ednie buys the employees lunch. Yeah, they're taking it,
taking advantage of them.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, that's why they let it. Let's normalize napping and
random Yes on board, they today do not judge. She
wants you to cuddle up.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Right next to put one of those scarves around now.

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
