Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, welcome to your Saturday podcast as Brooke and Jeffrey,
And a quick reminder, tomorrow is Mother's Day.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yes, I thought it.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Was last week, so I sent my mom strawberry super early.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Which is better than sending them super late.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Then I tell her and I apologize, and I was like,
I don't even call you. I was so busy. I
was like, not till next week. I'm not okay, I'll
call you Sunday.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
So you dig get out it?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, yeah, I thought myself, nay it.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Well, listen, if you're frantic for a gift, I'm just
gonna tell you can go to our Merch for a
Cause and buy a brand new second.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Date update crew Neck. Yes, yes, and listen.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I know it won't come tomorrow in time for Mother's Day,
but all mothers are fine with a printed out piece
of paper of why you got them, as long as
it comes with a heartfelt note.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yeah thoughts cute.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It says something like dysfunctional dating makes me think of you, mom.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Here's your second Date Update Merch for a Cause.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
All right, go do that because the link is in
the show notes, and one of the proceeds go to
a great organization called Convoy of Hope, which is a
great nonprofit.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
So get your merch for cause and let's get this
show started.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Second date, up date. If I've learned anything from reading
countless dating blogs, they all say the absolute worst thing
you can do is be open to trying new things.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
No, they don't. That's the opposite of what they all say.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
New experiences should scare you and you need to avoid
them at all costs.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Instead of reading.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
The anti therapy blogs again.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
You know, you need to stick to the places that
you've already been and people you already know, and nothing
bad can ever.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Happen people, Okay, Jeff, is how you end up in
like my hometown dating your gage?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Okay, supports it.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Is.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
One of our listeners didn't take that advice, thank god,
and he's some sort of modern renaissance man decided to
try something new and look where it landed him right
here on our show, which I'm guessing is another new
experience for him that he's never done before.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
So yikes, we're the low point.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
We are, Alvin, welcome to your new life.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Low awesome, glad to be here. This is my first
time ever doing that.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Now, are you feeling shame or excitement.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
No, definitely excitement. I don't I'm not feeling shame.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Okay, yeah, we're going to change that by the end
of the segment. But you said that you tried something
new for your dating life.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Have you ever heard of a red envelope party?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
What's a red envelope party?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Well, it's like a like a dating event that people
put on. And there was at this fancy house and
you went by yourself.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
You didn't bring a friend.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, no, this was a friend hooked me up with this,
but I went by myself. Yeah. And then you scan
like a QR code and you fill out a questionnaire
that's like about your interests and your values.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
You know what kind of person you are find on
a dating profile, right.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, yeah, just a brief little thing like that, and
then once you do the questionnay. I went side the
house and it was had the vibe of like a
slanky private members club. It was a fancy furniture and
well stocked bar, chandeliers the whole you know.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
A chandelier that is rich. No, no broke people.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You get a house full of single people and you're
only allowed to talk to one person.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
So they give you a motive.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Is that the rule?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, No, you're you're supposed to mingle and drink and
have a good time. That's what I was doing. About
like an hour into it, maybe a little more, a
waiter came around with a silver tray and on the
tray were red envelopes and you find the one that
had your name on it, and that has inside the
person that you are supposed to meet once. But we'd
already hung out from that.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm guessing the whole point is so that you go
around the room and actually try to find the other person.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Right, Yeah, it's more about talking to other pian person.
I mean my guess anyway, And.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
The fact that it's on a silver tray makes me
believe whatever is on it is like and so, who
was the person whose name was in your envelope?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
My envelope had the name Natalie in it.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Okay, had you already met? Why are you laughing?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I thought he said he had his own name in
his envelope?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Did you had you already met Natalie or do you
have to go find her?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I had actually met her, and she was like obviously
on there to date. So I'm looking around, you know,
looking at all the ladies and she was like top
of my list.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Oh you're like, yes, like he read envelope.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
There was a yes, just bump.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Yeah, okay, So you went and tracked her down. How
did that go?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It was great. We were having a really good time
and she was laughing a lot and I was laughing.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh that's a good sign because she could have been
disappointed when she saw your name.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
No, no, she seemed cool and she was kept encouraging
us to go back to the bar. And so, yeah,
we did drink a bit. I admit it. I definitely
was feeling a buzz. Nice.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Okay, but you're you know, you're doing it together and
it's a party scene, like it seems appropriate.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, yeah, it was appropriate amount and I was not alone,
you know, it was everybody was having a good time
and she was having a good time. You know, like
I said, we were laughing a lot.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
These are all positive reviews.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Is there anything in your mind that like was like
a low moment of the night or something that could
have gone wrong?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Yes, yes, there was.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Oh he's laughing now.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I mean it's not the worst, but like we had
been sitting for a while and we stood up and
we walked outside and it was pretty warm, and I
definitely had like a head rush and I kind of
fell into a bush.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh and this was in front of Natalie.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I was walking with her.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You may have but she may have looked a little sloppy.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, you know, yeah, I looked sloppy. I didn't like
fall over, Like I was just so hammered that I
was just like passing out. But you know, I definitely
leaned into it hard, let's put it that way.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
A confident lean into a bush.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
But she helped me out of it. But like I'm
a pretty big guy, so she couldn't really do it.
So this guy like kind of stepped over and kind
of helped me too.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Gave you a hand. Not your proudest moment, but it's
probably not like a total deal break for you. So
how did it end that night?
Speaker 5 (06:16):
But with you and Natalie?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Well, at the end of the party, I asked her
if she wanted to go up to have some food,
you know, soak up the alcohol, right, and she said
she wanted to hang back and find this friend that
she came with. And I don't know, that's it. Then
I haven't heard back from her. I mean I got
her her her number, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Exactly, have you called her or nothing?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I texted her once. I don't want to be the
dude who's stending multiple texts, but definitely, like damn, I
went to all that trouble and thought it was a
good connection and then just seem weird that nothing has
come since then.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Maybe she confidently leaned on the same bush and is
trapped inside of it right now waiting for somebody to
come pick.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Her out, as we see.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
So we're gonna call, we'll see if she answers, and
try and get you your second date update Fancy edition
coming up right.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
After this.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Second date update.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm gonna need to set the scene here for any
listeners just joining us. We picture well dressed men and
women sitting on ornate couches, sipping on gimlets, mingling together.
Red envelope party people. It's fancy.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
It does feel like something that happened in Jeff's neighborhood. Girls, Yeah, yeah,
a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Of ask on uh huh, gimlets and mint julips and
what's a red envelope party? I'm still not one hundred
percent sure I get the idea, but one of our listeners, Alvin,
attended one the other night where he went to a
house in an upscale neighborhood. They have you fill out
a dating survey and then later, based on the answers
(07:52):
to your questionnaire, they bring you a red envelope on
a silver platter with the name of the person that
you matched with and are host to meet that night. Yes,
and the name of Alvin's person was Natalie, So they
met up, had a great time there until he fell
into a bush outside.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I didn't ruin the night, It was just a memory.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
The thing is he remembers it, so he wasn't too
dry exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
The problem is now Natalie is ghosting. So Brooke, take
a break from putting your reservation and at the red
envelope house and tell us, how do you.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Feel about it?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
My hometown was more like bush Light and you'd wrestle
a pig, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And they started.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
The problem is is it's a singles party, so she
could have easily just met somebody.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Else that night. Oh yeah, like that's the whole point
in the red envelope is so you go around and.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh, you're talking about before the envelopes were handed out. Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, and like the friend that she had to find
at the end of the party air quotes was probably
the person she was talking to before him.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Alvin, did you notice Natalie speaking with any other guy?
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Is?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I mean I did notice her speaking with other guys,
but not.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Like you know, I'm sure that's what the point is.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That's like ask you.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It's not like they signed a contract that you could
only go out with this person in the red envelope.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
They don't know who was.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
In the red envelope for the first hour jet it's
a red envelope with a red flag attached to.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I'm worried, but let's call Natalie here and see what
she has to say. Here we go, Hello, Hey, is
this Natalie?
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Yes, this is Natalie. Who is this?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
My name is jeff and I'm part of a radio
show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and we're
all here eager to talk to you.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
We actually were given your phone number by one of
our listeners that went out. It was kind of on
a sort of a date.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Met you at a date party, singles single.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
And this segment is called second Date Update because we're
trying to get you two back together and figure out
if there's maybe chemistry or if if you feel the
same way. Thank you, Brooke. But this guy's name is Alvin.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Oh okay, oh my god?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Remember him from the Red On?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Remember him?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I do?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
I do remember him. I'm just surprised.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Oh my god. Describe like what that party was like
for you. Also, if it's one of those parties, you
don't have.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
To describe too much.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
So I just I had never been to one, so
I don't know what to tell you about it because
I didn't stay.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
You didn't say, well, I don't think he stayed very
long either. Did you meet somebody else? Is that what
it come down? Which is totally fine, that's the whole
point of the party, right, success for you?
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Well, I've had friends who have done these parties, Like
I was really just trying to experience it and leave
because my friends who've done the parties, they say that
you should leave by midnight if you don't want to.
You know that it can get pretty crazy, let's put
it that way. And I was just trying to get
out of there.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Is it really actually one of those.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Can you elaborate? What do you know?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
What happens at midnight?
Speaker 6 (11:27):
I heard that they open up these like other rooms
for activities after midnight, and I just that's not really
my damn, like each one apparently has a theme.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I don't know, are you not calling Alvin back because
you think he stayed, or are you not calling him
like I don't understand why you or.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
The fact that he was at that party.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yeah, I mean, I think I made the assumption that
he's been to more than one, maybe a bunch of these.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
And that's not.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Really my thing. I will not to that after.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Midnight if you think that you're making an assumption there.
I don't know if it's fair to jump to a
full conclusion until we actually talked to Alvin himself.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Because he seems like such an innocent guy.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And you don't even have to wait because Alvin is
on the other line right now, listening to this conversation
from a secret room in our studio.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Don't say that, yes, I'm here.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Oh my gosh, what.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Is happening, Natalie?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Did I die? Did you stay after midnight? Alvin?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Do you know what she's talking about with the extra
rooms that open up?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yes? I do?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
You do you.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And you're laughing?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Okay, bro? Well, yeah, I mean she laughs, and like
I said, I was kind of feeling it, you know,
and I was like, oh, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I'm afraid to go into any more details of what
actually happens. Did you partake or are you just enjoying
the view?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Brother, I was just enjoying the view.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Why in the world would you contact a radio show if.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
This is the type of event that you want to
Why did.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You You didn't mention any of this to us?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
True, you guys asked me to talk about the date part.
That's the part that I was interested in. Talking with
you guys about the rest of the party in the
event and stuff is like another story.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Okay, well sure, but it's a pretty important detail. I
think to bring up.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
The story ends when Natalie left, like afterwards, that was
just on this, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Okay, we don't need to I mean making you feel
better or worse, Natalie.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
I mean, I don't like the idea of him watching
other people. Yeah, I don't like, why does he want
to contact me.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Because you were the first and not interested in Like
I was thinking about you the whole rest of the night,
Like that's all I want.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Other people thinking of me.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
That's so well, why do you go to the party.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
If you're not into that type of people, like Natalie,
when what are you doing? That's actually but sometimes you
don't know until you try it.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
Right now, Yeah, I was trying to just do something
outside of the box because I'm not super adventurous, but
I definitely have boundaries as far as not wanting to
participate in the late night activities.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Okay, you guys are making to sound like I'm some
kind of total freakers into like wild This is the
first time, just like Natalie, the first time I ever
went to one of these things.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
We're not judging.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Some of us are jealous.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yeah, like a podcast about these it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
How long were you there?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
So like like three, a little after three, like three
thirty something.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
You watched for three hours.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I mean, I'll only really actually watched like this one
room called the Ascot Room. That's the only one that
I even got.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
The Ascot Room.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
You don't askot are like those ties like scarfs.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Oh it's actually a smart idea.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Paper, pretty creative.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Oh my gosh, that's so gross. I don't what say
to that.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Well, look, he didn't use one of the ascots. He
just watched people with the ascots.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Oh no, but I like, oh no, I don't. I don't.
I don't know why I shouldn't have pulled you out
of that bush. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Different meanings before I ask officially, Alvin, is there anything
else that you want to say to Natalie, like a
like a final plea.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Maybe I just want to say, like, I thought we
had a good turn before, and it's not like like
I said, I'm not like into that scene. That's not
like my place and my people or something. And you
got to admit we were having a good time at
least I think we were.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
It's a good yeah, I mean, and he obviously his
intentions was to meet one person.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Okay, Well, I just need to know are you going
to go to the next one?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I mean, if you wanted to go with me to
one of those, that would be cool. But I'm not
going to be going by myself.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Well I was a little soon to say that, yeah,
my friend, but it's not too soon to ask if
we can facilitate another meet up between the.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Two of you.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
We have a red envelope party over at Chili.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I'm going to see you in the baby bedroom.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
That's what I was going to say. As long as
there aren't extra rooms being opened up.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
After Okay, you're open to it, you know.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
What I am, because, like I said, I'm trying to
the adventurous. And it sounds like he went and he
committed to the experience, but it doesn't sound like it's
something that he does all the time.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Oh my.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Janitor's classes, gradus, you got yourself another day?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yes, but I really am.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Is it gonna be so sweet when you guys tell
this story when you met?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, everybody has red ascots in the weather party.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
No, just on honeymoon night as ascots.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
No, the Billboy can watch
Speaker 4 (17:09):

No, definitely excitement. I don't I'm not feeling shame.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Okay, yeah, we're going to change that by the end
of the segment. But you said that you tried something
new for your dating life.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Have you ever heard of a red envelope party?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
What's a red envelope party?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Well, it's like a like a dating event that people
put on. And there was at this fancy house and
you went by yourself.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
You didn't bring a friend.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, no, this was a friend hooked me up with this,
but I went by myself. Yeah. And then you scan
like a QR code and you fill out a questionnaire
that's like about your interests and your values.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
You know what kind of person you are find on
a dating profile, right.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, yeah, just a brief little thing like that, and
then once you do the questionnay. I went side the
house and it was had the vibe of like a
slanky private members club. It was a fancy furniture and
well stocked bar, chandeliers the whole you know.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
A chandelier that is rich. No, no broke people.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You get a house full of single people and you're
only allowed to talk to one person.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
So they give you a motive.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Is that the rule?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, No, you're you're supposed to mingle and drink and
have a good time. That's what I was doing. About
like an hour into it, maybe a little more, a
waiter came around with a silver tray and on the
tray were red envelopes and you find the one that
had your name on it, and that has inside the
person that you are supposed to meet once. But we'd
already hung out from that.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm guessing the whole point is so that you go
around the room and actually try to find the other person.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Right, Yeah, it's more about talking to other pian person.
I mean my guess anyway, And.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
The fact that it's on a silver tray makes me
believe whatever is on it is like and so, who
was the person whose name was in your envelope?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
My envelope had the name Natalie in it.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Okay, had you already met? Why are you laughing?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I thought he said he had his own name in
his envelope?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Did you had you already met Natalie or do you
have to go find her?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I had actually met her, and she was like obviously
on there to date. So I'm looking around, you know,
looking at all the ladies and she was like top
of my list.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Oh you're like, yes, like he read envelope.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
There was a yes, just bump.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Yeah, okay, So you went and tracked her down. How
did that go?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It was great. We were having a really good time
and she was laughing a lot and I was laughing.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh that's a good sign because she could have been
disappointed when she saw your name.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
No, no, she seemed cool and she was kept encouraging
us to go back to the bar. And so, yeah,
we did drink a bit. I admit it. I definitely
was feeling a buzz. Nice.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Okay, but you're you know, you're doing it together and
it's a party scene, like it seems appropriate.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, yeah, it was appropriate amount and I was not alone,
you know, it was everybody was having a good time
and she was having a good time. You know, like
I said, we were laughing a lot.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
These are all positive reviews.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Is there anything in your mind that like was like
a low moment of the night or something that could
have gone wrong?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Yes, yes, there was.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Oh he's laughing now.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I mean it's not the worst, but like we had
been sitting for a while and we stood up and
we walked outside and it was pretty warm, and I
definitely had like a head rush and I kind of
fell into a bush.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh and this was in front of Natalie.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I was walking with her.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
You may have but she may have looked a little sloppy.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah, you know, yeah, I looked sloppy. I didn't like
fall over, Like I was just so hammered that I
was just like passing out. But you know, I definitely
leaned into it hard, let's put it that way.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
A confident lean into a bush.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
But she helped me out of it. But like I'm
a pretty big guy, so she couldn't really do it.
So this guy like kind of stepped over and kind
of helped me too.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Gave you a hand. Not your proudest moment, but it's
probably not like a total deal break for you. So
how did it end that night?
Speaker 5 (06:16):
But with you and Natalie?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Well, at the end of the party, I asked her
if she wanted to go up to have some food,
you know, soak up the alcohol, right, and she said
she wanted to hang back and find this friend that
she came with. And I don't know, that's it. Then
I haven't heard back from her. I mean I got
her her her number, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Exactly, have you called her or nothing?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
I texted her once. I don't want to be the
dude who's stending multiple texts, but definitely, like damn, I
went to all that trouble and thought it was a
good connection and then just seem weird that nothing has
come since then.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Maybe she confidently leaned on the same bush and is
trapped inside of it right now waiting for somebody to
come pick.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Her out, as we see.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
So we're gonna call, we'll see if she answers, and
try and get you your second date update Fancy edition
coming up right.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
After this.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Second date update.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm gonna need to set the scene here for any
listeners just joining us. We picture well dressed men and
women sitting on ornate couches, sipping on gimlets, mingling together.
Red envelope party people. It's fancy.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
It does feel like something that happened in Jeff's neighborhood. Girls, Yeah, yeah,
a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Of ask on uh huh, gimlets and mint julips and
what's a red envelope party? I'm still not one hundred
percent sure I get the idea, but one of our listeners, Alvin,
attended one the other night where he went to a
house in an upscale neighborhood. They have you fill out
a dating survey and then later, based on the answers
(07:52):
to your questionnaire, they bring you a red envelope on
a silver platter with the name of the person that
you matched with and are host to meet that night. Yes,
and the name of Alvin's person was Natalie, So they
met up, had a great time there until he fell
into a bush outside.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I didn't ruin the night, It was just a memory.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
The thing is he remembers it, so he wasn't too
dry exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
The problem is now Natalie is ghosting. So Brooke, take
a break from putting your reservation and at the red
envelope house and tell us, how do you.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Feel about it?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
My hometown was more like bush Light and you'd wrestle
a pig, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And they started.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
The problem is is it's a singles party, so she
could have easily just met somebody.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Else that night. Oh yeah, like that's the whole point
in the red envelope is so you go around and.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh, you're talking about before the envelopes were handed out. Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, and like the friend that she had to find
at the end of the party air quotes was probably
the person she was talking to before him.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Alvin, did you notice Natalie speaking with any other guy?
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Is?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I mean I did notice her speaking with other guys,
but not.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Like you know, I'm sure that's what the point is.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That's like ask you.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It's not like they signed a contract that you could
only go out with this person in the red envelope.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
They don't know who was.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
In the red envelope for the first hour jet it's
a red envelope with a red flag attached to.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
I'm worried, but let's call Natalie here and see what
she has to say. Here we go, Hello, Hey, is
this Natalie?
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Yes, this is Natalie. Who is this?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
My name is jeff and I'm part of a radio
show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and we're
all here eager to talk to you.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
We actually were given your phone number by one of
our listeners that went out. It was kind of on
a sort of a date.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Met you at a date party, singles single.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
And this segment is called second Date Update because we're
trying to get you two back together and figure out
if there's maybe chemistry or if if you feel the
same way. Thank you, Brooke. But this guy's name is Alvin.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Oh okay, oh my god?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Remember him from the Red On?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Remember him?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I do?
Speaker 6 (10:25):
I do remember him. I'm just surprised.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Oh my god. Describe like what that party was like
for you. Also, if it's one of those parties, you
don't have.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
To describe too much.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
So I just I had never been to one, so
I don't know what to tell you about it because
I didn't stay.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
You didn't say, well, I don't think he stayed very
long either. Did you meet somebody else? Is that what
it come down? Which is totally fine, that's the whole
point of the party, right, success for you?
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Well, I've had friends who have done these parties, Like
I was really just trying to experience it and leave
because my friends who've done the parties, they say that
you should leave by midnight if you don't want to.
You know that it can get pretty crazy, let's put
it that way. And I was just trying to get
out of there.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Is it really actually one of those.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Can you elaborate? What do you know?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
What happens at midnight?
Speaker 6 (11:27):
I heard that they open up these like other rooms
for activities after midnight, and I just that's not really
my damn, like each one apparently has a theme.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
I don't know, are you not calling Alvin back because
you think he stayed, or are you not calling him
like I don't understand why you or.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
The fact that he was at that party.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yeah, I mean, I think I made the assumption that
he's been to more than one, maybe a bunch of these.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
And that's not.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Really my thing. I will not to that after.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Midnight if you think that you're making an assumption there.
I don't know if it's fair to jump to a
full conclusion until we actually talked to Alvin himself.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Because he seems like such an innocent guy.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And you don't even have to wait because Alvin is
on the other line right now, listening to this conversation
from a secret room in our studio.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Don't say that, yes, I'm here.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Oh my gosh, what.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Is happening, Natalie?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Did I die? Did you stay after midnight? Alvin?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Do you know what she's talking about with the extra
rooms that open up?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yes? I do?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
You do you.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
And you're laughing?
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Okay, bro? Well, yeah, I mean she laughs, and like
I said, I was kind of feeling it, you know,
and I was like, oh, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I'm afraid to go into any more details of what
actually happens. Did you partake or are you just enjoying
the view?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Brother, I was just enjoying the view.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Why in the world would you contact a radio show if.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
This is the type of event that you want to
Why did.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You You didn't mention any of this to us?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
True, you guys asked me to talk about the date part.
That's the part that I was interested in. Talking with
you guys about the rest of the party in the
event and stuff is like another story.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Okay, well sure, but it's a pretty important detail. I
think to bring up.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
The story ends when Natalie left, like afterwards, that was
just on this, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Okay, we don't need to I mean making you feel
better or worse, Natalie.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
I mean, I don't like the idea of him watching
other people. Yeah, I don't like, why does he want
to contact me.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Because you were the first and not interested in Like
I was thinking about you the whole rest of the night,
Like that's all I want.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Other people thinking of me.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
That's so well, why do you go to the party.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
If you're not into that type of people, like Natalie,
when what are you doing? That's actually but sometimes you
don't know until you try it.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
Right now, Yeah, I was trying to just do something
outside of the box because I'm not super adventurous, but
I definitely have boundaries as far as not wanting to
participate in the late night activities.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Okay, you guys are making to sound like I'm some
kind of total freakers into like wild This is the
first time, just like Natalie, the first time I ever
went to one of these things.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
We're not judging.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Some of us are jealous.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yeah, like a podcast about these it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
How long were you there?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
So like like three, a little after three, like three
thirty something.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
You watched for three hours.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
I mean, I'll only really actually watched like this one
room called the Ascot Room. That's the only one that
I even got.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
The Ascot Room.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
You don't askot are like those ties like scarfs.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Oh it's actually a smart idea.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Paper, pretty creative.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Oh my gosh, that's so gross. I don't what say
to that.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Well, look, he didn't use one of the ascots. He
just watched people with the ascots.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Oh no, but I like, oh no, I don't. I don't.
I don't know why I shouldn't have pulled you out
of that bush. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Different meanings before I ask officially, Alvin, is there anything
else that you want to say to Natalie, like a
like a final plea.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Maybe I just want to say, like, I thought we
had a good turn before, and it's not like like
I said, I'm not like into that scene. That's not
like my place and my people or something. And you
got to admit we were having a good time at
least I think we were.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
It's a good yeah, I mean, and he obviously his
intentions was to meet one person.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Okay, Well, I just need to know are you going
to go to the next one?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
I mean, if you wanted to go with me to
one of those, that would be cool. But I'm not
going to be going by myself.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Well I was a little soon to say that, yeah,
my friend, but it's not too soon to ask if
we can facilitate another meet up between the.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Two of you.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
We have a red envelope party over at Chili.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
I'm going to see you in the baby bedroom.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
That's what I was going to say. As long as
there aren't extra rooms being opened up.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
After Okay, you're open to it, you know.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
What I am, because, like I said, I'm trying to
the adventurous. And it sounds like he went and he
committed to the experience, but it doesn't sound like it's
something that he does all the time.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Oh my.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Janitor's classes, gradus, you got yourself another day?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yes, but I really am.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Is it gonna be so sweet when you guys tell
this story when you met?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, everybody has red ascots in the weather party.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
No, just on honeymoon night as ascots.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
