Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second Date update. Where's the worst place to take a
woman on a first date?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The worst?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Brook and Jeffrey in the morning Home of the second
date update, I mean, like a garbage.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Are you going to give us options because I have
some ideas?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yeah, I mean crematorium comes to mind, the garbage, especially
if you talked about having barbecue already.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
That.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
There is something that might be worse than that.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
There's no way, Jeff Well, I was gonna say, chure Nobyl,
but you know what, let's okay, let's talk to our
listener rehtt because he thinks he may have taken his
date someplace pretty regrettable.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I mean, that's all you have to do is come
on our show and you'll feel better by comparison.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Before we find out about this woman, just tell us
the place that you took her.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah, I took her to my ex's house.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh god, what I am?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Okay, yeah, we got a backup, not even like the
restaurant where my ex works.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Yeah, yeah, I know the bad idea.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Now, okay, it's good that you realize that. But let's
go back and let's start from the beginning. Where did
you meet this woman and what's her name?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
And not yours.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You actually took out.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The girl that I took out. Her name's Christina. We
met at a hiking club, a small group of people
that get together and take heights on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Let me guess you reached for the same cashew in
the bag of trail mix. And that's cute.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
How did you turn it from hiking to a date?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
So we're both cat people, So that's kind of how
we came together a little bit on that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Okay, okay, bond cat hiking and cat people. Yeah, that's true.
So I mean you guys had a pretty good relationship then,
probably before you actually moved into the romantic world, right.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, I mean we had tons of talks and I
mean tons of picture My cat's name is Soorbet. So
I set up a date at my house to help
meet my cat.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Okay, I like how you said your house. That's good.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, we were gonna make pizzas at my place. I
got a fancy pizza oven, nice, so we wanted to
do that. Introduced her to the cat. She looked real nice.
We didn't burn anything. That's usually a good sign.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I mean, were you able to have because you guys
had been friends already were you able to have like
some flirty moments.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Like come up behind her and need the pizza, like
show her, like grab her hands and show her, show
her how to toss it.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yeah, we got like a little ghost moment with the pizza.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Do I do not say you did that.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I'm just kidding. Yeah, it was still flirty, a little
flower getting everywhere, but nothing crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh kay, all right, that's cute. I mean it sounds
like a setup to a great evening.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, it sounds like a great setup to go over
to your ex's house, because how does that come into
the picture?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
So, I mean I kept calling for the cat. The
cat likes to hide when new people are there, so
I figured they needed a little bit of time to
get used to her.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And right, I mean, cats notoriously don't come when you
call them, you know, Right.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
And then I remembered that I actually had dropped the
cat off at the cat moms that morning.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
What do you remembered?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
You and your ex split custody of your cat.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it was kind of a contentious
part of the breakup there, but I mean we're good now.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
How could you forget that? It was the whole date
center that makes you look so bad. You're a cat
dad that doesn't remember where he left his cat.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I had a pretty busy day and it split my mind.
I mean, I had the things to worry about.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Okay, okay, that is a lot to tackle, both pepperoni
and cheese, so I can understand your head was totally full.
I still don't get how did you end up at
your ex's house?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
So, right after we ate, I was pretty disappointed that
she couldn't meet Sorbet.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, okay, yeah, but just chalk it up and you
make a plan for the next time, right.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah, I wish I would have done that. That's a
good point. On our way home, I just figured i'd
swing by my exes and introduce her to Sorbet.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
No making her home.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
You brought Christina over to your ex's house.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Oh no, it sounds really bad when you say it
like that.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
You didn't warn either woman, So show up unexpectedly with
a date on your ex's door and Christina doesn't even
know that's where she's going.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, but usually my ex is pretty cool. If I
need to sling by and see the cat, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
He alone.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah, So I mean when when we showed up, it
was fine, but I could kind of tell that she
wasn't really digging it. X wasn't really happy that we
showed up, uh to see the cat?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah? Really yeah shocking.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I can see why you you guys broke up. She's
not not accepting woman.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah that's it.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah. It was a lot of silence and patting the
cat on the couch, and it was real awkward. She
was just staring at my date the whole time.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You're all sitting on the couch together. Why did I
imagine this just at a doorstep?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Like say hi to the cat. Then everybody parts.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You're like a scene to a funny movie.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
You're inside.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Okay, So you guys all spent the night at your
ex's house and and when you left the next morning,
how did that go?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
That didn't happen? Thank god?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Okay good.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
The whole time ended in like a real big fight.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Wait, a fight with who you in the ex or
what you and the cat?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Everybody kind of ended up shouting, yeah, Christina didn't like
my ex was being rude, my my accident like that
I brought a girl there.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It was.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It was the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Why are you wanting to call this girl again. Christina
doesn't want to have anything to do with you.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yeah, but your show says you help people get second
dates and.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
The Apostle miracle workers over here. But oh my gosh,
can I just ask when you drop Christina off at
her door, what was the last thing she said to you?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
She actually gave me the finger, but I don't think
she meant it.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
If it's a finger that I'm thinking of, then it
could be a good thing.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Too.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
She was emotional. Now that we've had some space, it's
been about a week or so, so I figured we
could give it another shot and you guys could help
me out.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Guys, at least this will be a great story, right, Yeah,
I'm very eager to hear how Christina felt the experience.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
This one was gonna be cussing.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
We don't know. We're gonna call her. We'll see how
she's doing. But we do your second date update right
after this second date update. What went wrong on Rhett's
first date A little hard to say because there was pizza,
there was cute cats, and the one tiny mistake and
(06:52):
when I say tiny, I mean like minuscule. There was
kind of a fight at his ex's house that involved him,
his day and his ex girlfriend, resulting at the end
in a certain finger being pointed at Rhett when he
dropped Christina off at home. It wasn't a proposal with
the wedding ring. Other than that, though a plus Daterett,
(07:15):
you would agree, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Other than all of that, I guess it was fine.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Okay, okay, Wait, I have a question. Have you had
a chance to apologize to Christina.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well, that's the biggest thing is I just haven't seen
her in the hiking group at all, and it's not
often you get to go from friends into dating. So
I just I didn't want to mess that up.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, yeah, and you didn't.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I'm sure you're the one who needs to apologize. It
sounds like your ex girlfriend owes her an apology for
not being cool about that.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
He needs to apologize to both women house. You can't
bring a date to your ex's house, especially unannounced.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I don't know what who does that. I'm just clearly
read as somebody that wants everybody to get along. Feels
like you should be able to move past ex grievances
the ladies. I don't know why you guys are holding
onto this like it's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Your ex shows up at your house today.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I don't have one, all right, But we don't know
the whole story. We have a hunch of what went wrong.
We need to get Christina's angle to really understand the
full scope.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I can't wait to hear her story. And the thing
is is that you actually sound like a really nice
guy that just made dumb choices.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah. I'm just a really nice guy who made one
dumb choice. And I told you the whole story.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Okay, Yeah, but her perspective is going to be interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, perspective. Well, let's find out what that is. I'm
going to dial her right now. Hopefully she has nothing
but good things to.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Say about you, or she doesn't just cuss at us
and hang up.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, we'll see how this goes. I'm dialing.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
She flips us off as she answers the phone be
able to see it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
We'll be able to feel it.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Here you.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Hey? Is this Christina?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Hey, Christina, good morning. We've all been very eager to
talk to you. Where a radio show called Brook and
Jeffrey in the morning And I don't even know where
to begin.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Christina, how are you doing?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Fine?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
What is this This is a radio show, and we're
doing a segment trying to help out one of our
listeners that you went on a date with recently. His
name is Rhett Er.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
What.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Yeah, Yeah, I mean actually that's a better response than
I expected from you. To be honest, I'm being serious.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Because we heard about your guys' hangout. We won't rehash
the whole story.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Wait a second, Yeah he emailed us. Why is he
doing that?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Well, obviously because he likes you.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Well, I mean just that, like you guys were friends
in the hiking group and then and then you had
one date and he knows he screwed it up.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Can I just hear the story? Like I want to
hear from your perspective, Like you show up to his
ex's house. Did you know that's where you were going?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
No? He was like, Oh, I've got something to show you.
I really want you to.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
See that before.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
We have Yeah, okay, I mean at first I just
thought it was like his friend or something. I didn't
realize it was his X. And then when we get
into this argument, she called me, ah.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Oh god, wait okay, but what wait?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Go from petting a cat to that diet some major
insecurity issues or jumping because she was like, well, you
know what he likes, because I know what he likes.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Oh god, okay, we did not know that part of
the story.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, Like I said, she yelled at me and called
me a what did do was? Yeah, he was yeling
back at her. It was just it was so dramatic,
and is this is the first date?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Okay, I'm gonna tell you on the thirty second date
that would be okay.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Look, I know that we all feel terrible about that.
Rett feel sorry for even making the decision to bring
you over there.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah, I mean, he honestly sounds like a nice guy
that made a dumb choice.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I don't know. He lied to me too, Okay, not
just that.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Like about bringing you over there to introduce you to
his cat.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
No before that. So I knew him from hiking, Like
we hiked together with like a group and we were
talking about our cats, and he told me that Sorbet
is five and my cat is five two. So I
was like, oh, that's cool, to the same age. But
then his ex told me that Tobe is nine. I
(11:40):
don't know, I think, and the name Colin what it
almost a five year difference. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Okay, that was worse to you than the argument that
broke out between the three.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Honestly, I think that he lied about his cat's age
on purpose. I think he was trying to say that
it was the same age as my cat so that
they could along.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Okay, I mean we do hear a lot of people
lying about their age on dating apps to impress somebody,
not usually lying about their cats age to impress each other.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
But well, yeah, but like that's important to me.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
I have something to say here, O.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Friend, you shut your mouth, you liar. I really hope
you would, because we need to tell you Christina that
Red's been on the other line listening to this call,
wanting to clearly speak.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
And hopefully apologize.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Well yeah, I mean I'm going to apologize for the fight,
but not not for my cat being a different age.
I mean, those are just details.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Well you might not think that's important, but I do.
I don't have kids, and not pining. I'm having kids
these time soon. My cat is my world. Like, I
don't want my cat to be the little second side
kit cat because you have this older leader meme cat.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Well maybe if your cat was more mature, it'd be Okay,
hanging out with my old cat.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Okay, my cat is plenty mature.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It sounds like it's where the top.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Really, I don't get it. In I thought we'd really
be concentrated on the name colleages ex's house here.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, that wasn't cool, but neither in lying about the
age of your cat. Why would you do that? Why
don't you why about anything like that?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
What if the ex is lying?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I mean, my X wasn't lying about that. He is nine.
And then if that's the only thing standing in the
way of this, I mean, we can always go get
a five year old cat.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Okay, there are a lot of cats that it need.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Es you're dating.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I like the problem solving. That's a positive.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
So my cat's a third wheel.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Now that's great.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
What what you're upset at?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, you find very interesting things important for your dating life.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
You got to think of it from my perspective. If
this does work out and we're together, now we've got
two full time cats and one part time cat that
we're shuffling back and forth between a deck. Who thinks
I'm a whore? What?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, I mean I could see that part, but I
mean it's nine. It's not like you're gonna have to
do it for me the years.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
But I take offense to that because my cat maybe nine,
but she looks seven at worst.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Don't know how many lives as least.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
But we are really stuck on this.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I know she's very upset that she got cat catfished.
That's the big issue.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I think it's just cat fit.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
It is you good cat catfish me.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Okay, the double cats.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You're very sorry, right, tell her how sorry you are
for doing that.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm very sorry for telling you
the wrong age of my cat, and I mean, going forward,
I swear I won't lie to you about something like that,
something like that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Why would you?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Why would you just say I swear not lie to
you anything.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Well, because it's like super important. I want her to
know how important it is that I'm taking her cat
age very importantly. I won't lie at all.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Okay, I mean, honestly, Christina, he is taking it into account,
and I think a lot of people will, yeah, not
be so patient.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Brook is basically saying, team ret team raht, and so
we would like to offer to send you out on
another date with him, and we would pay for it.
I don't know two cats, three cats, one cat, no cat, whatever,
however many cats you want or don't want on it?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah, find a five year old one perfect.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, I doubt you want to go out again with.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Att What do you think?
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I mean, as long as the price is right, I
guess Okay, I know it's I'm kidding. Obviously I would.
I would love to have a second try at this.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yes, he went through all this effort to make this happen,
and we're running out of time here. So what do
you say, Christina? One more date with Rhett? I need
a yes or a no?
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Fine? Yeah, whatever, ye are fine?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, she's still emotional. She'll get over and I'm okay
with fine.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Are we miracle workers? Because that is insane?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yes, we should take all the credit for its Look,
Jeffrey in the morning, you know what really makes me
happy hearing someone regrettably agreed to go out on a
date again.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Fine, jof Fine.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
They're gonna look back and listen to this on their
wedding day. Right before, Christina turns to the past and
was like, fine, I do Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I'm pretty sure the ex is going to show up
to that wedding.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I just hope the cats show up.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I don't think anybody is showing up. I think he's
gonna host it at their house.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It's a good reminder that everybody crazy. Everybody values different
things in their relationships, and for Christina, she values honesty
about your cat's real age. That's number one on the relationship.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I mean maybe you could have still been dating the Yes, yeah,
I don't care about that.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Around Number five is X name calling.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yes, it still mattered to her, just not quite as
hot A.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Everyone's got different priorities.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And we know that now. So whatever is important to you,
we will call that person who's not calling you back.

Jeffrey Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning
Second Date update. Where's the worst place to take a
woman on a first date?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The worst?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Brook and Jeffrey in the morning Home of the second
date update, I mean, like a garbage.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Are you going to give us options because I have
some ideas?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yeah, I mean crematorium comes to mind, the garbage, especially
if you talked about having barbecue already.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
That.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
There is something that might be worse than that.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
There's no way, Jeff Well, I was gonna say, chure Nobyl,
but you know what, let's okay, let's talk to our
listener rehtt because he thinks he may have taken his
date someplace pretty regrettable.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I mean, that's all you have to do is come
on our show and you'll feel better by comparison.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Before we find out about this woman, just tell us
the place that you took her.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah, I took her to my ex's house.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Oh god, what I am?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Okay, yeah, we got a backup, not even like the
restaurant where my ex works.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Yeah, yeah, I know the bad idea.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Now, okay, it's good that you realize that. But let's
go back and let's start from the beginning. Where did
you meet this woman and what's her name?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
And not yours.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You actually took out.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
The girl that I took out. Her name's Christina. We
met at a hiking club, a small group of people
that get together and take heights on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Let me guess you reached for the same cashew in
the bag of trail mix. And that's cute.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
How did you turn it from hiking to a date?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
So we're both cat people, So that's kind of how
we came together a little bit on that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Okay, okay, bond cat hiking and cat people. Yeah, that's true.
So I mean you guys had a pretty good relationship then,
probably before you actually moved into the romantic world, right.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, I mean we had tons of talks and I
mean tons of picture My cat's name is Soorbet. So
I set up a date at my house to help
meet my cat.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Okay, I like how you said your house. That's good.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, we were gonna make pizzas at my place. I
got a fancy pizza oven, nice, so we wanted to
do that. Introduced her to the cat. She looked real nice.
We didn't burn anything. That's usually a good sign.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I mean, were you able to have because you guys
had been friends already were you able to have like
some flirty moments.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Like come up behind her and need the pizza, like
show her, like grab her hands and show her, show
her how to toss it.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yeah, we got like a little ghost moment with the pizza.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Do I do not say you did that.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I'm just kidding. Yeah, it was still flirty, a little
flower getting everywhere, but nothing crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh kay, all right, that's cute. I mean it sounds
like a setup to a great evening.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, it sounds like a great setup to go over
to your ex's house, because how does that come into
the picture?
Speaker 4 (02:56):
So, I mean I kept calling for the cat. The
cat likes to hide when new people are there, so
I figured they needed a little bit of time to
get used to her.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And right, I mean, cats notoriously don't come when you
call them, you know, Right.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
And then I remembered that I actually had dropped the
cat off at the cat moms that morning.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
What do you remembered?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
You and your ex split custody of your cat.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it was kind of a contentious
part of the breakup there, but I mean we're good now.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
How could you forget that? It was the whole date
center that makes you look so bad. You're a cat
dad that doesn't remember where he left his cat.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I had a pretty busy day and it split my mind.
I mean, I had the things to worry about.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Okay, okay, that is a lot to tackle, both pepperoni
and cheese, so I can understand your head was totally full.
I still don't get how did you end up at
your ex's house?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
So, right after we ate, I was pretty disappointed that
she couldn't meet Sorbet.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, okay, yeah, but just chalk it up and you
make a plan for the next time, right.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah, I wish I would have done that. That's a
good point. On our way home, I just figured i'd
swing by my exes and introduce her to Sorbet.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
No making her home.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
You brought Christina over to your ex's house.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Oh no, it sounds really bad when you say it
like that.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
You didn't warn either woman, So show up unexpectedly with
a date on your ex's door and Christina doesn't even
know that's where she's going.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, but usually my ex is pretty cool. If I
need to sling by and see the cat, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
He alone.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah, So I mean when when we showed up, it
was fine, but I could kind of tell that she
wasn't really digging it. X wasn't really happy that we
showed up, uh to see the cat?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah? Really yeah shocking.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I can see why you you guys broke up. She's
not not accepting woman.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah that's it.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah. It was a lot of silence and patting the
cat on the couch, and it was real awkward. She
was just staring at my date the whole time.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You're all sitting on the couch together. Why did I
imagine this just at a doorstep?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Like say hi to the cat. Then everybody parts.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You're like a scene to a funny movie.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
You're inside.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Okay, So you guys all spent the night at your
ex's house and and when you left the next morning,
how did that go?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
That didn't happen? Thank god?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Okay good.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
The whole time ended in like a real big fight.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Wait, a fight with who you in the ex or
what you and the cat?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Everybody kind of ended up shouting, yeah, Christina didn't like
my ex was being rude, my my accident like that
I brought a girl there.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It was.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
It was the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Why are you wanting to call this girl again. Christina
doesn't want to have anything to do with you.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yeah, but your show says you help people get second
dates and.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
The Apostle miracle workers over here. But oh my gosh,
can I just ask when you drop Christina off at
her door, what was the last thing she said to you?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
She actually gave me the finger, but I don't think
she meant it.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
If it's a finger that I'm thinking of, then it
could be a good thing.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Too.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
She was emotional. Now that we've had some space, it's
been about a week or so, so I figured we
could give it another shot and you guys could help
me out.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Guys, at least this will be a great story, right, Yeah,
I'm very eager to hear how Christina felt the experience.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
This one was gonna be cussing.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
We don't know. We're gonna call her. We'll see how
she's doing. But we do your second date update right
after this second date update. What went wrong on Rhett's
first date A little hard to say because there was pizza,
there was cute cats, and the one tiny mistake and
(06:52):
when I say tiny, I mean like minuscule. There was
kind of a fight at his ex's house that involved him,
his day and his ex girlfriend, resulting at the end
in a certain finger being pointed at Rhett when he
dropped Christina off at home. It wasn't a proposal with
the wedding ring. Other than that, though a plus Daterett,
(07:15):
you would agree, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Other than all of that, I guess it was fine.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Okay, okay, Wait, I have a question. Have you had
a chance to apologize to Christina.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well, that's the biggest thing is I just haven't seen
her in the hiking group at all, and it's not
often you get to go from friends into dating. So
I just I didn't want to mess that up.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, yeah, and you didn't.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I'm sure you're the one who needs to apologize. It
sounds like your ex girlfriend owes her an apology for
not being cool about that.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
He needs to apologize to both women house. You can't
bring a date to your ex's house, especially unannounced.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I don't know what who does that. I'm just clearly
read as somebody that wants everybody to get along. Feels
like you should be able to move past ex grievances
the ladies. I don't know why you guys are holding
onto this like it's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Your ex shows up at your house today.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I don't have one, all right, But we don't know
the whole story. We have a hunch of what went wrong.
We need to get Christina's angle to really understand the
full scope.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I can't wait to hear her story. And the thing
is is that you actually sound like a really nice
guy that just made dumb choices.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah. I'm just a really nice guy who made one
dumb choice. And I told you the whole story.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Okay, Yeah, but her perspective is going to be interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, perspective. Well, let's find out what that is. I'm
going to dial her right now. Hopefully she has nothing
but good things to.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Say about you, or she doesn't just cuss at us
and hang up.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, we'll see how this goes. I'm dialing.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
She flips us off as she answers the phone be
able to see it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
We'll be able to feel it.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Here you.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Hey? Is this Christina?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Hey, Christina, good morning. We've all been very eager to
talk to you. Where a radio show called Brook and
Jeffrey in the morning And I don't even know where
to begin.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Christina, how are you doing?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Fine?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
What is this This is a radio show, and we're
doing a segment trying to help out one of our
listeners that you went on a date with recently. His
name is Rhett Er.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
What.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Yeah, Yeah, I mean actually that's a better response than
I expected from you. To be honest, I'm being serious.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Because we heard about your guys' hangout. We won't rehash
the whole story.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Wait a second, Yeah he emailed us. Why is he
doing that?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Well, obviously because he likes you.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Well, I mean just that, like you guys were friends
in the hiking group and then and then you had
one date and he knows he screwed it up.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Can I just hear the story? Like I want to
hear from your perspective, Like you show up to his
ex's house. Did you know that's where you were going?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
No? He was like, Oh, I've got something to show you.
I really want you to.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
See that before.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
We have Yeah, okay, I mean at first I just
thought it was like his friend or something. I didn't
realize it was his X. And then when we get
into this argument, she called me, ah.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Oh god, wait okay, but what wait?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Go from petting a cat to that diet some major
insecurity issues or jumping because she was like, well, you
know what he likes, because I know what he likes.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Oh god, okay, we did not know that part of
the story.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, Like I said, she yelled at me and called
me a what did do was? Yeah, he was yeling
back at her. It was just it was so dramatic,
and is this is the first date?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Okay, I'm gonna tell you on the thirty second date
that would be okay.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Look, I know that we all feel terrible about that.
Rett feel sorry for even making the decision to bring
you over there.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah, I mean, he honestly sounds like a nice guy
that made a dumb choice.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I don't know. He lied to me too, Okay, not
just that.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Like about bringing you over there to introduce you to
his cat.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
No before that. So I knew him from hiking, Like
we hiked together with like a group and we were
talking about our cats, and he told me that Sorbet
is five and my cat is five two. So I
was like, oh, that's cool, to the same age. But
then his ex told me that Tobe is nine. I
(11:40):
don't know, I think, and the name Colin what it
almost a five year difference. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Okay, that was worse to you than the argument that
broke out between the three.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Honestly, I think that he lied about his cat's age
on purpose. I think he was trying to say that
it was the same age as my cat so that
they could along.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Okay, I mean we do hear a lot of people
lying about their age on dating apps to impress somebody,
not usually lying about their cats age to impress each other.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
But well, yeah, but like that's important to me.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
I have something to say here, O.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Friend, you shut your mouth, you liar. I really hope
you would, because we need to tell you Christina that
Red's been on the other line listening to this call,
wanting to clearly speak.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
And hopefully apologize.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Well yeah, I mean I'm going to apologize for the fight,
but not not for my cat being a different age.
I mean, those are just details.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Well you might not think that's important, but I do.
I don't have kids, and not pining. I'm having kids
these time soon. My cat is my world. Like, I
don't want my cat to be the little second side
kit cat because you have this older leader meme cat.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Well maybe if your cat was more mature, it'd be Okay,
hanging out with my old cat.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Okay, my cat is plenty mature.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
It sounds like it's where the top.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Really, I don't get it. In I thought we'd really
be concentrated on the name colleages ex's house here.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, that wasn't cool, but neither in lying about the
age of your cat. Why would you do that? Why
don't you why about anything like that?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
What if the ex is lying?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
I mean, my X wasn't lying about that. He is nine.
And then if that's the only thing standing in the
way of this, I mean, we can always go get
a five year old cat.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Okay, there are a lot of cats that it need.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Es you're dating.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
I like the problem solving. That's a positive.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
So my cat's a third wheel.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Now that's great.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
What what you're upset at?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, you find very interesting things important for your dating life.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
You got to think of it from my perspective. If
this does work out and we're together, now we've got
two full time cats and one part time cat that
we're shuffling back and forth between a deck. Who thinks
I'm a whore? What?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, I mean I could see that part, but I
mean it's nine. It's not like you're gonna have to
do it for me the years.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
But I take offense to that because my cat maybe nine,
but she looks seven at worst.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Don't know how many lives as least.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
But we are really stuck on this.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I know she's very upset that she got cat catfished.
That's the big issue.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I think it's just cat fit.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
It is you good cat catfish me.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Okay, the double cats.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You're very sorry, right, tell her how sorry you are
for doing that.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm very sorry for telling you
the wrong age of my cat, and I mean, going forward,
I swear I won't lie to you about something like that,
something like that.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Why would you?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Why would you just say I swear not lie to
you anything.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Well, because it's like super important. I want her to
know how important it is that I'm taking her cat
age very importantly. I won't lie at all.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Okay, I mean, honestly, Christina, he is taking it into account,
and I think a lot of people will, yeah, not
be so patient.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Brook is basically saying, team ret team raht, and so
we would like to offer to send you out on
another date with him, and we would pay for it.
I don't know two cats, three cats, one cat, no cat, whatever,
however many cats you want or don't want on it?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Yeah, find a five year old one perfect.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, I doubt you want to go out again with.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Att What do you think?
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I mean, as long as the price is right, I
guess Okay, I know it's I'm kidding. Obviously I would.
I would love to have a second try at this.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yes, he went through all this effort to make this happen,
and we're running out of time here. So what do
you say, Christina? One more date with Rhett? I need
a yes or a no?
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Fine? Yeah, whatever, ye are fine?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah, she's still emotional. She'll get over and I'm okay
with fine.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Are we miracle workers? Because that is insane?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yes, we should take all the credit for its Look,
Jeffrey in the morning, you know what really makes me
happy hearing someone regrettably agreed to go out on a
date again.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Fine, jof Fine.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
They're gonna look back and listen to this on their
wedding day. Right before, Christina turns to the past and
was like, fine, I do Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I'm pretty sure the ex is going to show up
to that wedding.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
I just hope the cats show up.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I don't think anybody is showing up. I think he's
gonna host it at their house.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It's a good reminder that everybody crazy. Everybody values different
things in their relationships, and for Christina, she values honesty
about your cat's real age. That's number one on the relationship.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
I mean maybe you could have still been dating the Yes, yeah,
I don't care about that.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Around Number five is X name calling.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yes, it still mattered to her, just not quite as
hot A.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Everyone's got different priorities.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
And we know that now. So whatever is important to you,
we will call that person who's not calling you back.
