This is t J Jennet and j Rod's second date
update on kJ one O three.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Get Johnny from Edmund in here for the second date update.
Hey you guys, because we're trying to get you know,
the date with Casey. But you and Casey already knew
each other before you ever went out.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Right. We met at church years ago. I was I
was married back then but now I'm not. And I'd
seen Casey at Swadley's. Uh she was on our way
out the door. We caught up for a few minutes,
and I was just a really great seeing her.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
So did you just ask her out right there, like, hey,
guess what, I'm single?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
By the way, No, I no, I didn't want to
be too forward. I sent her a message on Instagram,
you know, just saying it was good to see her,
and I uh happened to slide in her that I
was single, and uh she said, well, then I guess
it's not inappropriate for us to go have lunch sometime.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Ah. Yeah, you gave her the hint and she did
the asking. Oh this is good, this is good, this
is good.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Pretty sure she was asking me out more than a friend.
And so we went back to Swadeley's. We had about
a ninety minutes lunch and it went great. She said
that my wife was crazy to let me go because
I'm such a keeper. Losers weepers right, thought that sounded

(01:29):
like a great opportunity to set up another date. You know.
She agreed to that, and we didn't set it up
in the moment, but she sounded like she loved the
idea of going out again. Okay, or was that maybe
a nice way of blowing me off?

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Because you're on the second date update now, So where
do you stand now?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well? We texted back and forth a few times. She
seems to have cut me off. I even wished her
a happy birthday. I got no response. Oh no, I
just yeah, I'm just at a point where I just
want to know where I stand.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
If she's not interested, just tell me and I can
move on.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Okay, all right, Well you know how this works. We'll
get Casey on the phone and we will ask her. Okay, yeah, sure, due,
thank you, all right, Ye, we'll.

Speaker 1 (02:13):

O three, TJ Janet J out in the morning.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's TJ Janet and J Rods second date update.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
On kJ one O three.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
All right, let's get Casey in here. Hi, Casey, how
you doing this morning?

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Hi?

Speaker 4 (02:29):
I'm okay.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
I guess okay.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
We got a call from a guy named Johnny, and
Johnny said that you used to know each other from
church and then years later you went on this date. Uh,
and you've kind of been blown him off since the date?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
What's going on? Okay?

Speaker 4 (02:49):
So? Well, at first, like yeah, like everything you said
is true, and I genuinely thought it would be fun
to go on a few dates with Johnny, like you know.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
See where it goes.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
But I got the idea that he was diving headfirst
into like a relationship. How well, okay, So I was
already kind of getting that feeling on the date, like
a little bit. And then on my birthday, so I
wake up and night I have a happy birthday text
from him and that was fine, that was really nice,

(03:18):
and he says, did you see my surprise? So I'm
like question marks what, I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Then he sends me a picture.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
You know those like giant yard letters. He had put
them in my yard saying happy birthday, Casey, like all
across my front yard.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Oh oh, he put a giant happy Birthday, Casey letters
in your front yard?

Speaker 1 (03:48):
And what mean? I mean? I didn't.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
I didn't even know what to say. It's like, how
do you respond to that after one date?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
So I just I can like you reply.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I can see Janet saying like, I.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
Don't get Yeah, I mean he put happy birthday like
that's a fun surprise. If anybody did that for me,
I'd be like, oh.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
My goodness, that's so fun.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
It's not like what he did specifically, It's just like
what I got from that is that he is like
way more into me and into this whole dating thing
then I'm into him, Like, you know, you don't you
don't just put giant happy birthday like gesturally that big
after one date. That is that's a bit much in

(04:32):
my opinion.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Okay, Johnny's on the phone. Let's get him in on
this conversation. And Johnny, what do you have to say?
Yeah about this?

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Oh, I have a lot to say. First of all, well, Casey,
we've known each other a long time. We volunteered a
church together for like three years.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Well yeah, no, I know that, Johnny, but he never
put a happy birthday sign in my yard.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Then, so like, what changeuse he was married, right, you know?

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, is that what's changed? Johnny?

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Well?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, for one, I was married, and I think that'd
be weird. But also, Casey, we went on a date.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Well that's exactly what I'm saying, Like we go on
one date and then like this huge grandiose gesture for
my birthday.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
I didn't really pay for anything. My buddy does these
signs as like one of the side hustles.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Oh okay, okay, it still seems like a really big
gesture after one date, like kind of making two big
a deal out of it.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Casey, we've known each other for several years, Like, can't
I just be a nice guy to you?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Oh? Yeah, it was free.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Okay, it was free. It wasn't like you met on
Tinder and he did this. Yeah he already knows.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
You get. I get.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I get what you're saying, Casey, this is a big
thing after a first date.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
But you guys have known each other for a while.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, and he got it free and it was just
a thing he did for your birthday?

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Like is this still too much? So?

Speaker 4 (06:04):
I just I just think that we are expecting different
things out of this, Like what like I just wanted
to go on a few dates like be casual, see
what happens. And this to me says that you just
jumped right into boyfriend stage for putting a happy birthday
sign in your yard.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Okay, okay, well Casey, thanks for coming on the second
date update. We we appreciate you being honest with us,
and hey, belated happy birthday to you.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, we won't put a sign out, we promise. Thanks guy. Hey, thanks, Casey,
have a good day.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Is this what women want? Now? I mean, you do
one nice thing and you get dumped?

Speaker 5 (06:47):
I you know what I I'm on your side, especially
when I found out it was free.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Uh, Johnny, sorry, we going to get you another date
with Casey. But thanks for coming on the second date update.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Okay, man, Yeah, thanks for trying.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Guys, all right and write it down.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
June third, twenty twenty five, Janet agrees with the guy.
Why maybe not as much agreeing with the guy, but
agreeing with if I give you something free is really okay.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
It's different because it's free. But can I tell you?

Speaker 2 (07:13):
And while I agree with that reasoning, here's why I
kind of see what she's thinking.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
He didn't just say, oh I have something free here.
He had to call in a favor.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Calling in a favor is not just free because you.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Only get so many favors.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
So to say, well, I have a friend who does
birthday signs with a friend had a gatheress and put
it out there, that's that's that's that take. Okay either way,
that's a lot of effort for someone that you and.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
We've known each other, we've we volunteered with.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Each other at church.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
I volunteer with a lot of people at church, and
I don't do that kind of stuff for them, kind
of antisocial.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
But now you went on a date with them. Okay, okay,
because that's that extra step.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
I went on a date with you.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
But if you and I were volunteering at church, we
knew each other for a long time and we went
to like one lunch and you wake up on your
birthday and now I have this whole decoration in your yard.
You wouldn't think that's extra.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
And I was like, oh, hey, my friend, did you
like that?

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Like my friend does, I'd be the one saying that
to you. My friend does signs.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
I got him up at five this morning and we
came and put this in the yard. You wouldn't think
that was a little extra for someone you volunteer with
that church and now you've had like one little dinner
thing together.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Because I've known them, and so I might think that
Ari that even though we've been on one day, that
we do have a connection because we've already been volunteering.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
This wasn't blind date. I agree with Janet.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
I can't believe that the one time Janet believe agrees
with the guy, she's wrong. Full five for sixe one
or two seven if you want to chive.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
In on the second date up date.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
I'm not saying right, I'm not saying he's wrong, but
I'm saying she he definitely has a right to feel
the way she feels that maybe he's way more invested
in this than just.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, she doesn't like him enough to go on the second.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't know, it seems it seems kind of extra.
kJ lettle three t J Janet Jon.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
In the morning.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Hey, yeah, I just wanted to call him. Let Johnny
know that my birthday is Une twenty third. If he
wants to put a big balloon sign in my yarm, okay, well.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
Then he can't do that because he's going to use
up the rest of his favors for my birthday too.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Listen, if the guy only has like a handful of
favors and he used one for this girl after one date,
maybe he was more into her than she was ready
for at this time.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Seriously, well, I mean, uh, would that is crazy? Why
balloon sign?

Speaker 2 (09:53):
All? So you go on one date and I'm not
I'm literally asking you. I'm not trying to convince you
of anything. You know a guy from church, he volunteered.
You were friendly, but he was married. Now he's divorced.
You run into each other, you go on one date.
A few days later, it's your birthday. He's like, hey,
go out in your yard surprise, and there's the big

(10:13):
birthday sign. You would be like, oh my gosh, not
red flag.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
This guy is awesome.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Well, first of all, you met him at church.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Who exactly?

Speaker 4 (10:24):
And second of all, that's something that I would do
for my friends.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
I mean, you know, so that's just an a plus
in my book.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Would you do it for a neighbor that you kind
of know, but you know you wouldn't say they were friends?

Speaker 4 (10:44):
I would?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Okay, Okay, well then there you go.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Just put a small on their face.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
So remember Johnny, my name is Stony and.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
I'll be fifty two.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Okay, world, No, I.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Know, problem, No problem, okay, bye bye.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
One day Stony said that kind of turned me. And
I always say this, some people are just nice. Some
people are just nice, and you gotta get over that
they want anything from you.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, when they're just being nice.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
And I'm one of those people when someone does something
nice for me without.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
It, you know, I'm like, Okay, what do they want
from me? Some people are just nice.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
They're just nice, and you gotta get over And maybe
Johnny's just nice and you're throwing away a guy that's
never gonna forget your birthday, you know what I'm saying,
So okay.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Don't throw away the good guys.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Thank you, Stony for putting you in a perspective that
Janet could not for the last fifteen minutes to help
me understand what happened back canon slap right there,
