00:00:00
Speaker 1: Brooke's taking forever, so I'm just going to start this thing.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: Wakey, wakey, Brooke.
00:00:03
Speaker 3: I was just having a deep breath.
00:00:05
Speaker 1: You're sitting here breathing, rubbing your eyes. I'm like, let's get this show on the road.
00:00:08
Speaker 4: Come on.
00:00:09
Speaker 2: We got to stop what we got to do today.
00:00:10
Speaker 1: You got my Starbucks?
00:00:11
Speaker 3: I'm good to go. No, and they did not pay me to say that.
00:00:13
Speaker 2: No, they did not.
00:00:14
Speaker 4: It's a triple shot Americano with a quarter inch of sweet cream on the top.
00:00:19
Speaker 3: I love sweet cream. Just hot take. It's my favorite one.
00:00:21
Speaker 2: So it's a drip coffee with cream.
00:00:23
Speaker 1: No, Americano Ashton.
00:00:24
Speaker 4: Ashton.
00:00:25
Speaker 3: It's so different.
00:00:26
Speaker 1: It's espresso shots versus.
00:00:27
Speaker 2: Oh, got it.
00:00:28
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, we're not going to have time for this. School him, Alexis.
00:00:30
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
00:00:31
Speaker 3: All right, welcome to your brand new second date episode.
00:00:34
Speaker 4: We do need to look back because apparently yesterday, the dead ex-girlfriend... I use dead in quotes, you guys.
00:00:40
Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
00:00:41
Speaker 3: I use dead in quotes. Dead to him. Yes. Really struck a chord with people.
00:00:45
Speaker 1: Wait, Brooke, you said your daughter liked the episode?
00:00:47
Speaker 3: She listens to this thing?
00:00:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, she wakes up at 7.30 and that's when it's playing on the radio.
00:00:52
Speaker 3: And she's like, Mom, that was so funny. Can you believe that that guy said that? I'm like, oh, honey. Man, relationships are gonna hit you hard someday.
00:01:02
Speaker 1: I love that she listens.
00:01:03
Speaker 5: But our other listeners were saying, we got such a strange thing to do. Him and his girlfriend currently have their heads screwed up.
00:01:10
Speaker 1: He's psycho. But then this one was interesting.
00:01:12
Speaker 5: Honestly, who gives a damn? My ex posts things with us all the time and I do the same.
00:01:17
Speaker 1: No one cares.
00:01:18
Speaker 3: My friends know.
00:01:19
Speaker 1: Everyone knows. And it doesn't impact life at all.
00:01:22
Speaker 4: It sounds like you two should maybe be back together if you're both posting about each other all the time.
00:01:26
Speaker 1: Are you single or.
00:01:27
Speaker 2: Are you in a relationship?
00:01:28
Speaker 3: I have questions.
00:01:29
Speaker 6: Exactly.
00:01:30
Speaker 3: All right. We love your comments. We love them on Spotify, on YouTube, on our socials as well, at Brooke and Jeffrey. And we love that you love this brand new episode. Lots of love. So much love. See, I'm awake now. Let's get it started.
00:01:48
Speaker 2: For some reason, I don't know what's been going on lately, but we've been getting a lot of no's on these second date calls. And I really, really would like a yes today.
00:01:59
Speaker 3: I mean, they say, you know, sometimes you just need one to kind of change the momentum.
00:02:04
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:02:05
Speaker 7: Right?
00:02:05
Speaker 2: Exactly, because I'm personally feeling a little bit down about it.
00:02:08
Speaker 3: Well, it's like you're getting rejected, too, every time.
00:02:10
Speaker 8: Right.
00:02:11
Speaker 2: I put a lot of pressure on myself here since I'm the one asking. When they say no, they're not just saying no to the date.
00:02:16
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:02:17
Speaker 2: They're saying no to me.
00:02:18
Speaker 3: And you're the only one that sticks up for our listener no matter how poorly they behaved on these things.
00:02:22
Speaker 2: Thank you, Brooke, for admitting that you don't come through for them.
00:02:26
Speaker 3: Well, sometimes they don't deserve it.
00:02:28
Speaker 2: Well, that's why I want our listener, Taylor, to know that I am 100% committed to to giving my best effort today. No matter if Brooke's checked out or not, I'm going to help you secure another hangout with this guy. I'm Team Taylor.
00:02:43
Speaker 8: I really appreciate that, actually.
00:02:45
Speaker 4: He can come off as kind of a try-hard, so I'm just saying.
00:02:49
Speaker 2: Well, at least I'm trying it all.
00:02:51
Speaker 3: You may regret that, Taylor.
00:02:52
Speaker 2: A little effort came through from the rest of the group. But Taylor, tell us about this guy that you want us to call. What's his name?
00:02:57
Speaker 8: His name is Vince. So I go to a kava bar often.
00:03:03
Speaker 3: A what bar?
00:03:05
Speaker 8: It's a kava bar.
00:03:07
Speaker 2: Kava?
00:03:08
Speaker 3: What's kava?
00:03:09
Speaker 9: It's like a root from a plant, and it makes you calm but also social. So it's for people that don't want to go to, like, a bar and get drunk on alcohol.
00:03:22
Speaker 3: Oh, Jose, when it's from the earth and it makes you chill?
00:03:26
Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah.
00:03:27
Speaker 2: It's like a scissor bar. I think it's more of a natural scissor.
00:03:32
Speaker 4: I always think of it more of like an acai bar with a little bit more fun.
00:03:36
Speaker 2: Whatever it does, it works, apparently. That sounds like cool and trendy. Okay, so that's where you met Vince?
00:03:41
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I met him there.
00:03:43
Speaker 9: I was waiting for my friends, and I was playing Jenga.
00:03:47
Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
00:03:48
Speaker 2: As you do on Kava.
00:03:50
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I was playing by myself, and Vince came in, and I have never seen him before. And he asked me if he could play Jenga with me.
00:04:00
Speaker 6: Okay.
00:04:01
Speaker 8: So I said, yeah, of course.
00:04:03
Speaker 7: All right.
00:04:04
Speaker 3: Can you imagine saying, no, I'm playing by myself?
00:04:10
Speaker 2: Well, that's the kava making her more social and open to other people. That's cool. So now you and him are jingling.
00:04:18
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're jingling. And we played like three games that I won. Oh, you won them all. I won them all. He was sweet.
00:04:29
Speaker 9: And then after that, he just he asked me for my phone number.
00:04:33
Speaker 3: Oh, that's cute. Okay, that's all so natural. Obviously, you guys were connecting.
00:04:38
Speaker 8: Yeah, we were. And then after that, we started texting. And eventually, the.
00:04:44
Speaker 9: Text led to him asking me to do an activity with him. Okay.
00:04:50
Speaker 7: Nice.
00:04:50
Speaker 9: He told me that he had a coupon for, like, a two-for-one at this thing that I had never heard of, which was a sensory deprivation tank.
00:05:01
Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
00:05:04
Speaker 3: That's a wild first date.
00:05:05
Speaker 9: Dude, you guys are.
00:05:07
Speaker 2: Very, like, spiritual, I feel. I'm assuming here. Yeah.
00:05:13
Speaker 3: Have you done a float tank before, Jeff?
00:05:15
Speaker 2: I have.
00:05:15
Speaker 6: Okay.
00:05:16
Speaker 2: And the whole point is that you're not supposed to talk.
00:05:18
Speaker 3: Or do anything.
00:05:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're just supposed to completely go limp.
00:05:22
Speaker 3: All your senses. But you're not in there together. You're by yourself, right?
00:05:26
Speaker 2: Not in the one that I had. I don't know how yours worked.
00:05:30
Speaker 9: Yeah, this was like, it was called a couple's float cabin.
00:05:34
Speaker 2: Oh, they have a two person one. What was it like? Is he next to you? Are you guys feet to toe? Head to head? What's the layout?
00:05:43
Speaker 3: Good question. Is it really long?
00:05:45
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're laying next to each other. And I was like.
00:05:49
Speaker 9: Super relaxed to the point where I started to fall asleep.
00:05:55
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
00:05:55
Speaker 4: I mean, like you're falling asleep in there and then eventually you come out of it.
00:05:59
Speaker 3: What is that like?
00:06:01
Speaker 9: Oh, no, it was like I fell asleep and I heard something and noticed that Vince had gotten out of the tank.
00:06:10
Speaker 4: Oh, did he get out of the tank before the experience was over or it had?
00:06:14
Speaker 8: Yeah. Oh, no. He exited.
00:06:17
Speaker 9: He exited.
00:06:18
Speaker 4: You know, I think it can be really hard for some people to be that still and be with their thoughts like that.
00:06:25
Speaker 3: Maybe it was just overwhelming for him.
00:06:27
Speaker 8: Maybe you might be right.
00:06:29
Speaker 3: Had he done it before? Did he ever tell you?
00:06:31
Speaker 9: No, he hadn't done it before. And that's why he got this coupon.
00:06:36
Speaker 2: So does he want to get out of the tank and go somewhere else or?
00:06:40
Speaker 8: No, he just looked flustered. He said he had to go.
00:06:44
Speaker 9: And I didn't necessarily want the date. Then I asked him for a hug. And that got really awkward because he bends through the opening of the tank and like awkwardly hugs me.
00:06:55
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:06:56
Speaker 8: Which I kind of regret.
00:06:59
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:07:00
Speaker 3: Wet in your swimming suit down there.
00:07:01
Speaker 2: And salty. It's like tons of salt in there. Oh, and he's like bending down, like hunched over to hug you in the water.
00:07:08
Speaker 3: The whole thing was... Interesting. So that was an awkward ending for sure. Okay, but has he apologized? I feel like he owes you an apology for dashing out. It's his idea to do this thing, right?
00:07:19
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, it was fully his idea.
00:07:21
Speaker 9: I haven't seen him since this. And I also, he hasn't been in the Kava bar. I haven't heard from him.
00:07:28
Speaker 3: Oh, he hasn't texted at all?
00:07:29
Speaker 8: No.
00:07:31
Speaker 2: Okay, so basically what you experienced was a dine-and-dash, but for sleeping calmly in water.
00:07:37
Speaker 9: Ooh, a floating boat.
00:07:39
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:07:39
Speaker 3: Hold on.
00:07:40
Speaker 2: A floating boat? You do that, and then you speedboat.
00:07:43
Speaker 4: Out of there.
00:07:43
Speaker 9: Hold on.
00:07:43
Speaker 3: He paid for it, right?
00:07:45
Speaker 8: Yeah, he paid for it.
00:07:46
Speaker 2: With a coupon.
00:07:47
Speaker 9: Okay, good.
00:07:48
Speaker 3: Well, still, that's not a dine-and-dash then, Jeff.
00:07:50
Speaker 1: It's close.
00:07:50
Speaker 3: A dine-and-dash is when you leave without paying.
00:07:52
Speaker 2: Okay. How long has it been since he dashed out of there?
00:07:56
Speaker 9: So at this point, it's been like almost two weeks.
00:08:00
Speaker 8: Oh, God.
00:08:00
Speaker 2: Two weeks.
00:08:01
Speaker 3: The deprivation tank of dating is what you're in.
00:08:04
Speaker 6: All right.
00:08:05
Speaker 3: Just silence.
00:08:06
Speaker 2: Sinking.
00:08:06
Speaker 7: Yes.
00:08:07
Speaker 2: We're going to have to break the calmness just a little bit in order to get some answers out of him. We're going to try when we come back and do it with your second date update right after this. Hold on.
00:08:17
Speaker 8: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
00:08:18
Speaker 3: Second date update.
00:08:21
Speaker 2: What started with Kava and Jenga ended with sensory deprivation and dashing. Or a floating boat, as we're calling it.
00:08:30
Speaker 3: I like it.
00:08:31
Speaker 2: Because our listener Taylor went out with a guy named Vince. They did a sensory deprivation tank, a couple's float together.
00:08:37
Speaker 3: Which neither of them had ever tried before.
00:08:40
Speaker 2: First time. And it was so relaxing that Taylor actually dozed off a little and awoke to the sound of Vince already out of the tank getting his clothes back on. saying he had to leave.
00:08:52
Speaker 3: Okay, and mind you, they're in swimsuits, so it's not like they're naked. Just the way you described it.
00:08:57
Speaker 2: Let people visualize it however they want to visualize it, but you don't have to clothe them if they don't want to be clothed. But he had no real explanation for why he left so hastily, and now two weeks later... Taylor's come to us seeking answers and a gift card for a free dinner with Vince. If we can get them on the phone.
00:09:15
Speaker 3: They are the coupon couple.
00:09:16
Speaker 2: The only reason they did the.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: Deprivation take was because he had a BOGO.
00:09:20
Speaker 2: Taylor, you love a man who enjoys a good discount, don't you?
00:09:24
Speaker 8: Kind of, yeah.
00:09:25
Speaker 3: That's your style.
00:09:27
Speaker 4: Do you have any, like, I mean, you've obviously been thinking about this for two weeks. Any theories yourself?
00:09:33
Speaker 9: I don't know. I was thinking what you were thinking that maybe he felt awkward. Maybe he wasn't able to be alone.
00:09:42
Speaker 8: For that long.
00:09:43
Speaker 4: One of my best friends did a 10 day silent retreat with her ex-husband.
00:09:47
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
00:09:48
Speaker 4: And she said all the men end up screaming and punching things and all the women end up crying.
00:09:54
Speaker 2: Do you have any friends that have normal life experiences I feel like they're just crazy.
00:09:59
Speaker 3: No, that's it.
00:10:01
Speaker 4: I did worry because I thought it was only seven days so we thought that maybe she had been taken by a cult but it ended up being okay.
00:10:07
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's not a cult related thing when we call Vince. I'm going to dial his number right now. We'll see if he picks up. You ready to do this?
00:10:14
Speaker 8: I'm ready to do this. Hello?
00:10:26
Speaker 2: Hey, are we talking to Vince?
00:10:30
Speaker 8: Um, yes.
00:10:32
Speaker 7: Who's this?
00:10:32
Speaker 2: He's like, who's we? Yeah, sorry. We, meaning the radio show that you're on right now called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
00:10:39
Speaker 3: Yeah. What's up, Vince?
00:10:40
Speaker 2: Good morning.
00:10:41
Speaker 3: Not Jeff's multiple personalities this time.
00:10:44
Speaker 4: Depends.
00:10:46
Speaker 9: Uh, uh, hi.
00:10:47
Speaker 8: Well, what can I do for you?
00:10:49
Speaker 2: You could help give us some answers to, to a few questions that we have on behalf of one of our listeners that you went on a date with recently. Um, it's a girl named Taylor.
00:10:58
Speaker 7: Oh God.
00:11:02
Speaker 8: Oh no, no.
00:11:03
Speaker 6: I'm sorry. I can't, I can't really deal with her.
00:11:06
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Hold on a second. You sound like you're freaking out right now. Listen, this is a segment we do called second date update and it's to help Taylor try to get some answers from for why you disappeared in the middle of your date at the sensory deprivation tank.
00:11:22
Speaker 4: And honestly, like, if you have a reason, we can pass it on to her, and then she will never bother you again.
00:11:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just super confused right now. Because, you know, she liked you.
00:11:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean, it was the sensory deprivation tank, that thing. It was one of the most unnerving experiences I've ever had in my entire life.
00:11:46
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:11:46
Speaker 3: Is it something you can share with us?
00:11:50
Speaker 2: Not if I want to sleep tonight.
00:11:51
Speaker 8: What?
00:11:52
Speaker 2: Whoa.
00:11:53
Speaker 3: Did you have like a nightmare?
00:11:55
Speaker 6: It's very scary.
00:11:56
Speaker 8: It was not a nightmare. It was very scary.
00:11:58
Speaker 4: I mean, it's odd that you say you had such a frightening experience when Taylor was so relaxed, she.
00:12:03
Speaker 3: Just fell asleep.
00:12:05
Speaker 4: So obviously you two are having very different reactions to this.
00:12:10
Speaker 2: What was your experience?
00:12:13
Speaker 6: Okay. It started normal and kind of like relaxing, but then at a certain point, Taylor did kind of doze off.
00:12:23
Speaker 5: Okay.
00:12:25
Speaker 6: And I don't know if she knows that she does this, but she started sobbing.
00:12:32
Speaker 2: Laughing not talking.
00:12:34
Speaker 4: Laugh huh i mean i've heard people i've i've laughed in my sleep like if you're having a dream and you're like yeah like my kids do it all the time too yeah.
00:12:42
Speaker 6: Well it wasn't like a normal laugh it was like a high-pitched giggle kind of laugh it was really creepy.
00:12:50
Speaker 4: Oh sorry yeah yeah like jose's you were scared of the woman's laugh that you were on a.
00:12:57
Speaker 6: Date with Yes, because when I heard it, it immediately made me think of like the killer clown from the It movies.
00:13:06
Speaker 2: Oh, that is a creepy laugh. He's like.
00:13:09
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, that's even better.
00:13:11
Speaker 2: Sorry, I don't want to traumatize you.
00:13:13
Speaker 6: Yeah, she was.
00:13:13
Speaker 8: Laughing just like that.
00:13:15
Speaker 6: And, like, you've got to imagine that you're in a sensory deprivation tank. Like, your eyes are closed.
00:13:22
Speaker 8: You can't see anything.
00:13:24
Speaker 6: You're in a dark, floating space.
00:13:26
Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. I mean, it is creepy.
00:13:30
Speaker 6: It's more than that. It's not just creepy.
00:13:33
Speaker 2: It's, like, sadistic. What the heck? Suggested?
00:13:39
Speaker 3: I mean, she's sleeping.
00:13:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you guys gotta understand, like, there's a line from the movie where the clown says, you'll float too.
00:13:49
Speaker 9: Yeah, I forgot.
00:13:50
Speaker 2: That's the iconic line. And you're in a float tank. Oh, no. There's like red balloons in the lobby. Welcome in.
00:14:02
Speaker 8: It was the worst ever.
00:14:04
Speaker 6: It was like I was living in a nightmare.
00:14:07
Speaker 3: OK, well, this isn't going to help.
00:14:10
Speaker 2: Now we know the reason why you felt like you had to escape the tank and leave as quickly as possible. Unfortunately for you, though, I don't want to put you in a bad place here, Vince, but somebody else is in here with us right now. I don't know how else to tell you. Taylor's been on the phone the entire time listening.
00:14:35
Speaker 9: Hey, Vince.
00:14:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:14:37
Speaker 7: Don't laugh, Taylor.
00:14:40
Speaker 9: Vince, are you making this up because you don't like me?
00:14:45
Speaker 8: No, you don't know that you do this?
00:14:49
Speaker 9: No.
00:14:50
Speaker 6: This is 100% real.
00:14:52
Speaker 9: I'm just like a little taken aback by it because I've never heard anybody.
00:14:57
Speaker 8: Say this before.
00:14:57
Speaker 9: I've never woken myself up. Being this clown, like this is very strange. It kind of just makes me feel like maybe... You just don't like me and you're making it up.
00:15:11
Speaker 2: That is exactly what it says in the movie, guys. You don't like me.
00:15:19
Speaker 3: You're not helping Jeff.
00:15:21
Speaker 7: Sorry.
00:15:21
Speaker 4: Sorry.
00:15:22
Speaker 5: Oh, it's a romantic movie.
00:15:25
Speaker 4: Vince, is there any way you can see kind of the humor in this once you're, you know, have some space from it? She doesn't sound like she's an evil clown on the regular.
00:15:34
Speaker 6: Listen, I'm sure that she is like a really nice person and great to hang out with, but The memory of me trying to leave and her being like, well, can you at least come down and hug me before you leave?
00:15:51
Speaker 3: Hug me, Vince.
00:15:52
Speaker 2: It is like reaching down into the sewer hole and hugging the clown in there. She, like, grabs and pulls him in. Oh, it's just so unfortunate.
00:16:01
Speaker 8: You guys, this is absolutely ridiculous.
00:16:04
Speaker 2: It is.
00:16:05
Speaker 4: I agree.
00:16:05
Speaker 3: That's why we're laughing. I don't know that Vince is with us or not, though, on that.
00:16:09
Speaker 2: I mean, he's freaked out.
00:16:10
Speaker 3: Vince, what are you scared of, though? You know, like... Her?
00:16:14
Speaker 9: Why?
00:16:14
Speaker 3: Why are you scared of her?
00:16:16
Speaker 8: How could I not be?
00:16:17
Speaker 9: Like.
00:16:19
Speaker 7: Sure, I guess I know that she's not the real clown, but, like, I can't not think of it now.
00:16:29
Speaker 8: Vince.
00:16:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, Vince. You've seen her in the daylight.
00:16:33
Speaker 8: Vince, I am going to tell you something. Listen to me. I am not the clown from It.
00:16:41
Speaker 1: See?
00:16:41
Speaker 2: It has to be said.
00:16:43
Speaker 9: Do you believe me? I, um.
00:16:49
Speaker 6: I believe you're not the clown, but you are certainly reminding me of the clown.
00:16:57
Speaker 2: Even now.
00:16:58
Speaker 9: I see.
00:16:59
Speaker 3: I bet she has a dog that will remind you of Cujo, too.
00:17:01
Speaker 2: So, I mean, at this point, I don't know what else to do other than just go for it.
00:17:06
Speaker 3: Maybe we just send.
00:17:06
Speaker 4: Him to a hockey game. There's nothing weird or scary that happens at those, right?
00:17:10
Speaker 2: Frozen Waterbrook. The most shallow type of frozen.
00:17:14
Speaker 3: I meant the hockey match.
00:17:16
Speaker 2: Oh, Jason. Yeah, okay, look. Vince, we want to send you on one more date with Taylor, and if you said yes, we would even offer to pay for it.
00:17:24
Speaker 3: Hey, look at that.
00:17:25
Speaker 2: Come on, no more floating.
00:17:26
Speaker 3: We don't do that for all serial killer clowns.
00:17:29
Speaker 9: Vince, just say yes so that we can put this behind us.
00:17:33
Speaker 2: Seriously.
00:17:33
Speaker 8: Oh, God.
00:17:36
Speaker 2: Is that a joke? I think she did that one on purpose. Vince, it's up to you. Loosen it in the room, break in the ice.
00:17:44
Speaker 3: Come on, Vince.
00:17:45
Speaker 8: No, if it's up to me, I'm not. There's no way.
00:17:48
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
00:17:49
Speaker 9: I'm done.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: I swear we cannot get a yes on this segment lately.
00:17:53
Speaker 8: No.
00:17:54
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, Jeff.
00:17:55
Speaker 3: You tried your hardest this morning.
00:17:56
Speaker 2: We really did. I mean, I know we've been mom-blocked before, friend-blocked. This is the first it-blocked that we've ever had.
00:18:02
Speaker 3: Clowns don't deserve this reputation. I'm telling you.
00:18:05
Speaker 2: I mean, this is like a circus. Oh, my God. I'm sorry, Taylor.
00:18:08
Speaker 8: It's okay, you guys.
00:18:11
Speaker 6: Aw, buddy.
00:18:12
Speaker 2: We like your lifestyle, though.
00:18:13
Speaker 3: Enjoy floating. Yeah, of course you'd suck up to the killer clown.
00:18:16
Speaker 2: I don't want to die. I keep wondering what would Vince have done in that deprivation tank if he heard the laugh, looked over, and there was a tiny paper boat floating up next to him. I forgot about the boat.
00:18:34
Speaker 3: I was thinking the red balloon with the blood, but the boat, that's pretty good.
00:18:38
Speaker 2: I want to say it was the perfect storm of things going wrong. but it was more like the perfect storm drain, honestly. Dark enclosed space, shallow water, creepy laugh.
00:18:48
Speaker 3: It's just wild that he couldn't get over it.
00:18:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the part. He was honestly scared.
00:18:54
Speaker 4: I feel like he should never take a date to a haunted house or any other Halloween-themed anything.
00:18:59
Speaker 3: This is what triggers him.
00:19:00
Speaker 2: I feel like anything does. Like a girl could accidentally not blend her makeup well, and he's like, clown!
00:19:05
Speaker 9: Clown!
00:19:06
Speaker 2: How did none of us even ask to see if she had red hair? Oh, now that would be a new record. That's on us. We need to do better as investigative journalists.
00:19:15
Speaker 3: We just trusted that she wasn't the killer cloud.
00:19:18
Speaker 2: Right.
00:19:19
Speaker 3: That was our bad.
00:19:20
Speaker 2: Although I did look up the float tank, if people are interested in going, and it is in the town of Derry.
00:19:25
Speaker 3: No way!
00:19:26
Speaker 2: Float at your own risk. And you can always email the show if you ever need help with your dating life. We'll call that person who's not calling you back. Go check out all of our second dates. They're up online wherever you get your podcasts at Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: Brooke's taking forever, so I'm just going to start this thing.
00:00:02
Speaker 2: Wakey, wakey, Brooke.
00:00:03
Speaker 3: I was just having a deep breath.
00:00:05
Speaker 1: You're sitting here breathing, rubbing your eyes. I'm like, let's get this show on the road.
00:00:08
Speaker 4: Come on.
00:00:09
Speaker 2: We got to stop what we got to do today.
00:00:10
Speaker 1: You got my Starbucks?
00:00:11
Speaker 3: I'm good to go. No, and they did not pay me to say that.
00:00:13
Speaker 2: No, they did not.
00:00:14
Speaker 4: It's a triple shot Americano with a quarter inch of sweet cream on the top.
00:00:19
Speaker 3: I love sweet cream. Just hot take. It's my favorite one.
00:00:21
Speaker 2: So it's a drip coffee with cream.
00:00:23
Speaker 1: No, Americano Ashton.
00:00:24
Speaker 4: Ashton.
00:00:25
Speaker 3: It's so different.
00:00:26
Speaker 1: It's espresso shots versus.
00:00:27
Speaker 2: Oh, got it.
00:00:28
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, we're not going to have time for this. School him, Alexis.
00:00:30
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
00:00:31
Speaker 3: All right, welcome to your brand new second date episode.
00:00:34
Speaker 4: We do need to look back because apparently yesterday, the dead ex-girlfriend... I use dead in quotes, you guys.
00:00:40
Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
00:00:41
Speaker 3: I use dead in quotes. Dead to him. Yes. Really struck a chord with people.
00:00:45
Speaker 1: Wait, Brooke, you said your daughter liked the episode?
00:00:47
Speaker 3: She listens to this thing?
00:00:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, she wakes up at 7.30 and that's when it's playing on the radio.
00:00:52
Speaker 3: And she's like, Mom, that was so funny. Can you believe that that guy said that? I'm like, oh, honey. Man, relationships are gonna hit you hard someday.
00:01:02
Speaker 1: I love that she listens.
00:01:03
Speaker 5: But our other listeners were saying, we got such a strange thing to do. Him and his girlfriend currently have their heads screwed up.
00:01:10
Speaker 1: He's psycho. But then this one was interesting.
00:01:12
Speaker 5: Honestly, who gives a damn? My ex posts things with us all the time and I do the same.
00:01:17
Speaker 1: No one cares.
00:01:18
Speaker 3: My friends know.
00:01:19
Speaker 1: Everyone knows. And it doesn't impact life at all.
00:01:22
Speaker 4: It sounds like you two should maybe be back together if you're both posting about each other all the time.
00:01:26
Speaker 1: Are you single or.
00:01:27
Speaker 2: Are you in a relationship?
00:01:28
Speaker 3: I have questions.
00:01:29
Speaker 6: Exactly.
00:01:30
Speaker 3: All right. We love your comments. We love them on Spotify, on YouTube, on our socials as well, at Brooke and Jeffrey. And we love that you love this brand new episode. Lots of love. So much love. See, I'm awake now. Let's get it started.
00:01:48
Speaker 2: For some reason, I don't know what's been going on lately, but we've been getting a lot of no's on these second date calls. And I really, really would like a yes today.
00:01:59
Speaker 3: I mean, they say, you know, sometimes you just need one to kind of change the momentum.
00:02:04
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:02:05
Speaker 7: Right?
00:02:05
Speaker 2: Exactly, because I'm personally feeling a little bit down about it.
00:02:08
Speaker 3: Well, it's like you're getting rejected, too, every time.
00:02:10
Speaker 8: Right.
00:02:11
Speaker 2: I put a lot of pressure on myself here since I'm the one asking. When they say no, they're not just saying no to the date.
00:02:16
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:02:17
Speaker 2: They're saying no to me.
00:02:18
Speaker 3: And you're the only one that sticks up for our listener no matter how poorly they behaved on these things.
00:02:22
Speaker 2: Thank you, Brooke, for admitting that you don't come through for them.
00:02:26
Speaker 3: Well, sometimes they don't deserve it.
00:02:28
Speaker 2: Well, that's why I want our listener, Taylor, to know that I am 100% committed to to giving my best effort today. No matter if Brooke's checked out or not, I'm going to help you secure another hangout with this guy. I'm Team Taylor.
00:02:43
Speaker 8: I really appreciate that, actually.
00:02:45
Speaker 4: He can come off as kind of a try-hard, so I'm just saying.
00:02:49
Speaker 2: Well, at least I'm trying it all.
00:02:51
Speaker 3: You may regret that, Taylor.
00:02:52
Speaker 2: A little effort came through from the rest of the group. But Taylor, tell us about this guy that you want us to call. What's his name?
00:02:57
Speaker 8: His name is Vince. So I go to a kava bar often.
00:03:03
Speaker 3: A what bar?
00:03:05
Speaker 8: It's a kava bar.
00:03:07
Speaker 2: Kava?
00:03:08
Speaker 3: What's kava?
00:03:09
Speaker 9: It's like a root from a plant, and it makes you calm but also social. So it's for people that don't want to go to, like, a bar and get drunk on alcohol.
00:03:22
Speaker 3: Oh, Jose, when it's from the earth and it makes you chill?
00:03:26
Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah.
00:03:27
Speaker 2: It's like a scissor bar. I think it's more of a natural scissor.
00:03:32
Speaker 4: I always think of it more of like an acai bar with a little bit more fun.
00:03:36
Speaker 2: Whatever it does, it works, apparently. That sounds like cool and trendy. Okay, so that's where you met Vince?
00:03:41
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I met him there.
00:03:43
Speaker 9: I was waiting for my friends, and I was playing Jenga.
00:03:47
Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
00:03:48
Speaker 2: As you do on Kava.
00:03:50
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I was playing by myself, and Vince came in, and I have never seen him before. And he asked me if he could play Jenga with me.
00:04:00
Speaker 6: Okay.
00:04:01
Speaker 8: So I said, yeah, of course.
00:04:03
Speaker 7: All right.
00:04:04
Speaker 3: Can you imagine saying, no, I'm playing by myself?
00:04:10
Speaker 2: Well, that's the kava making her more social and open to other people. That's cool. So now you and him are jingling.
00:04:18
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're jingling. And we played like three games that I won. Oh, you won them all. I won them all. He was sweet.
00:04:29
Speaker 9: And then after that, he just he asked me for my phone number.
00:04:33
Speaker 3: Oh, that's cute. Okay, that's all so natural. Obviously, you guys were connecting.
00:04:38
Speaker 8: Yeah, we were. And then after that, we started texting. And eventually, the.
00:04:44
Speaker 9: Text led to him asking me to do an activity with him. Okay.
00:04:50
Speaker 7: Nice.
00:04:50
Speaker 9: He told me that he had a coupon for, like, a two-for-one at this thing that I had never heard of, which was a sensory deprivation tank.
00:05:01
Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
00:05:04
Speaker 3: That's a wild first date.
00:05:05
Speaker 9: Dude, you guys are.
00:05:07
Speaker 2: Very, like, spiritual, I feel. I'm assuming here. Yeah.
00:05:13
Speaker 3: Have you done a float tank before, Jeff?
00:05:15
Speaker 2: I have.
00:05:15
Speaker 6: Okay.
00:05:16
Speaker 2: And the whole point is that you're not supposed to talk.
00:05:18
Speaker 3: Or do anything.
00:05:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're just supposed to completely go limp.
00:05:22
Speaker 3: All your senses. But you're not in there together. You're by yourself, right?
00:05:26
Speaker 2: Not in the one that I had. I don't know how yours worked.
00:05:30
Speaker 9: Yeah, this was like, it was called a couple's float cabin.
00:05:34
Speaker 2: Oh, they have a two person one. What was it like? Is he next to you? Are you guys feet to toe? Head to head? What's the layout?
00:05:43
Speaker 3: Good question. Is it really long?
00:05:45
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're laying next to each other. And I was like.
00:05:49
Speaker 9: Super relaxed to the point where I started to fall asleep.
00:05:55
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
00:05:55
Speaker 4: I mean, like you're falling asleep in there and then eventually you come out of it.
00:05:59
Speaker 3: What is that like?
00:06:01
Speaker 9: Oh, no, it was like I fell asleep and I heard something and noticed that Vince had gotten out of the tank.
00:06:10
Speaker 4: Oh, did he get out of the tank before the experience was over or it had?
00:06:14
Speaker 8: Yeah. Oh, no. He exited.
00:06:17
Speaker 9: He exited.
00:06:18
Speaker 4: You know, I think it can be really hard for some people to be that still and be with their thoughts like that.
00:06:25
Speaker 3: Maybe it was just overwhelming for him.
00:06:27
Speaker 8: Maybe you might be right.
00:06:29
Speaker 3: Had he done it before? Did he ever tell you?
00:06:31
Speaker 9: No, he hadn't done it before. And that's why he got this coupon.
00:06:36
Speaker 2: So does he want to get out of the tank and go somewhere else or?
00:06:40
Speaker 8: No, he just looked flustered. He said he had to go.
00:06:44
Speaker 9: And I didn't necessarily want the date. Then I asked him for a hug. And that got really awkward because he bends through the opening of the tank and like awkwardly hugs me.
00:06:55
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:06:56
Speaker 8: Which I kind of regret.
00:06:59
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:07:00
Speaker 3: Wet in your swimming suit down there.
00:07:01
Speaker 2: And salty. It's like tons of salt in there. Oh, and he's like bending down, like hunched over to hug you in the water.
00:07:08
Speaker 3: The whole thing was... Interesting. So that was an awkward ending for sure. Okay, but has he apologized? I feel like he owes you an apology for dashing out. It's his idea to do this thing, right?
00:07:19
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, it was fully his idea.
00:07:21
Speaker 9: I haven't seen him since this. And I also, he hasn't been in the Kava bar. I haven't heard from him.
00:07:28
Speaker 3: Oh, he hasn't texted at all?
00:07:29
Speaker 8: No.
00:07:31
Speaker 2: Okay, so basically what you experienced was a dine-and-dash, but for sleeping calmly in water.
00:07:37
Speaker 9: Ooh, a floating boat.
00:07:39
Speaker 8: Yeah.
00:07:39
Speaker 3: Hold on.
00:07:40
Speaker 2: A floating boat? You do that, and then you speedboat.
00:07:43
Speaker 4: Out of there.
00:07:43
Speaker 9: Hold on.
00:07:43
Speaker 3: He paid for it, right?
00:07:45
Speaker 8: Yeah, he paid for it.
00:07:46
Speaker 2: With a coupon.
00:07:47
Speaker 9: Okay, good.
00:07:48
Speaker 3: Well, still, that's not a dine-and-dash then, Jeff.
00:07:50
Speaker 1: It's close.
00:07:50
Speaker 3: A dine-and-dash is when you leave without paying.
00:07:52
Speaker 2: Okay. How long has it been since he dashed out of there?
00:07:56
Speaker 9: So at this point, it's been like almost two weeks.
00:08:00
Speaker 8: Oh, God.
00:08:00
Speaker 2: Two weeks.
00:08:01
Speaker 3: The deprivation tank of dating is what you're in.
00:08:04
Speaker 6: All right.
00:08:05
Speaker 3: Just silence.
00:08:06
Speaker 2: Sinking.
00:08:06
Speaker 7: Yes.
00:08:07
Speaker 2: We're going to have to break the calmness just a little bit in order to get some answers out of him. We're going to try when we come back and do it with your second date update right after this. Hold on.
00:08:17
Speaker 8: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
00:08:18
Speaker 3: Second date update.
00:08:21
Speaker 2: What started with Kava and Jenga ended with sensory deprivation and dashing. Or a floating boat, as we're calling it.
00:08:30
Speaker 3: I like it.
00:08:31
Speaker 2: Because our listener Taylor went out with a guy named Vince. They did a sensory deprivation tank, a couple's float together.
00:08:37
Speaker 3: Which neither of them had ever tried before.
00:08:40
Speaker 2: First time. And it was so relaxing that Taylor actually dozed off a little and awoke to the sound of Vince already out of the tank getting his clothes back on. saying he had to leave.
00:08:52
Speaker 3: Okay, and mind you, they're in swimsuits, so it's not like they're naked. Just the way you described it.
00:08:57
Speaker 2: Let people visualize it however they want to visualize it, but you don't have to clothe them if they don't want to be clothed. But he had no real explanation for why he left so hastily, and now two weeks later... Taylor's come to us seeking answers and a gift card for a free dinner with Vince. If we can get them on the phone.
00:09:15
Speaker 3: They are the coupon couple.
00:09:16
Speaker 2: The only reason they did the.
00:09:18
Speaker 3: Deprivation take was because he had a BOGO.
00:09:20
Speaker 2: Taylor, you love a man who enjoys a good discount, don't you?
00:09:24
Speaker 8: Kind of, yeah.
00:09:25
Speaker 3: That's your style.
00:09:27
Speaker 4: Do you have any, like, I mean, you've obviously been thinking about this for two weeks. Any theories yourself?
00:09:33
Speaker 9: I don't know. I was thinking what you were thinking that maybe he felt awkward. Maybe he wasn't able to be alone.
00:09:42
Speaker 8: For that long.
00:09:43
Speaker 4: One of my best friends did a 10 day silent retreat with her ex-husband.
00:09:47
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
00:09:48
Speaker 4: And she said all the men end up screaming and punching things and all the women end up crying.
00:09:54
Speaker 2: Do you have any friends that have normal life experiences I feel like they're just crazy.
00:09:59
Speaker 3: No, that's it.
00:10:01
Speaker 4: I did worry because I thought it was only seven days so we thought that maybe she had been taken by a cult but it ended up being okay.
00:10:07
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's not a cult related thing when we call Vince. I'm going to dial his number right now. We'll see if he picks up. You ready to do this?
00:10:14
Speaker 8: I'm ready to do this. Hello?
00:10:26
Speaker 2: Hey, are we talking to Vince?
00:10:30
Speaker 8: Um, yes.
00:10:32
Speaker 7: Who's this?
00:10:32
Speaker 2: He's like, who's we? Yeah, sorry. We, meaning the radio show that you're on right now called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
00:10:39
Speaker 3: Yeah. What's up, Vince?
00:10:40
Speaker 2: Good morning.
00:10:41
Speaker 3: Not Jeff's multiple personalities this time.
00:10:44
Speaker 4: Depends.
00:10:46
Speaker 9: Uh, uh, hi.
00:10:47
Speaker 8: Well, what can I do for you?
00:10:49
Speaker 2: You could help give us some answers to, to a few questions that we have on behalf of one of our listeners that you went on a date with recently. Um, it's a girl named Taylor.
00:10:58
Speaker 7: Oh God.
00:11:02
Speaker 8: Oh no, no.
00:11:03
Speaker 6: I'm sorry. I can't, I can't really deal with her.
00:11:06
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Hold on a second. You sound like you're freaking out right now. Listen, this is a segment we do called second date update and it's to help Taylor try to get some answers from for why you disappeared in the middle of your date at the sensory deprivation tank.
00:11:22
Speaker 4: And honestly, like, if you have a reason, we can pass it on to her, and then she will never bother you again.
00:11:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just super confused right now. Because, you know, she liked you.
00:11:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I mean, it was the sensory deprivation tank, that thing. It was one of the most unnerving experiences I've ever had in my entire life.
00:11:46
Speaker 3: Okay.
00:11:46
Speaker 2: Okay.
00:11:46
Speaker 3: Is it something you can share with us?
00:11:50
Speaker 2: Not if I want to sleep tonight.
00:11:51
Speaker 8: What?
00:11:52
Speaker 2: Whoa.
00:11:53
Speaker 3: Did you have like a nightmare?
00:11:55
Speaker 6: It's very scary.
00:11:56
Speaker 8: It was not a nightmare. It was very scary.
00:11:58
Speaker 4: I mean, it's odd that you say you had such a frightening experience when Taylor was so relaxed, she.
00:12:03
Speaker 3: Just fell asleep.
00:12:05
Speaker 4: So obviously you two are having very different reactions to this.
00:12:10
Speaker 2: What was your experience?
00:12:13
Speaker 6: Okay. It started normal and kind of like relaxing, but then at a certain point, Taylor did kind of doze off.
00:12:23
Speaker 5: Okay.
00:12:25
Speaker 6: And I don't know if she knows that she does this, but she started sobbing.
00:12:32
Speaker 2: Laughing not talking.
00:12:34
Speaker 4: Laugh huh i mean i've heard people i've i've laughed in my sleep like if you're having a dream and you're like yeah like my kids do it all the time too yeah.
00:12:42
Speaker 6: Well it wasn't like a normal laugh it was like a high-pitched giggle kind of laugh it was really creepy.
00:12:50
Speaker 4: Oh sorry yeah yeah like jose's you were scared of the woman's laugh that you were on a.
00:12:57
Speaker 6: Date with Yes, because when I heard it, it immediately made me think of like the killer clown from the It movies.
00:13:06
Speaker 2: Oh, that is a creepy laugh. He's like.
00:13:09
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, that's even better.
00:13:11
Speaker 2: Sorry, I don't want to traumatize you.
00:13:13
Speaker 6: Yeah, she was.
00:13:13
Speaker 8: Laughing just like that.
00:13:15
Speaker 6: And, like, you've got to imagine that you're in a sensory deprivation tank. Like, your eyes are closed.
00:13:22
Speaker 8: You can't see anything.
00:13:24
Speaker 6: You're in a dark, floating space.
00:13:26
Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. I mean, it is creepy.
00:13:30
Speaker 6: It's more than that. It's not just creepy.
00:13:33
Speaker 2: It's, like, sadistic. What the heck? Suggested?
00:13:39
Speaker 3: I mean, she's sleeping.
00:13:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you guys gotta understand, like, there's a line from the movie where the clown says, you'll float too.
00:13:49
Speaker 9: Yeah, I forgot.
00:13:50
Speaker 2: That's the iconic line. And you're in a float tank. Oh, no. There's like red balloons in the lobby. Welcome in.
00:14:02
Speaker 8: It was the worst ever.
00:14:04
Speaker 6: It was like I was living in a nightmare.
00:14:07
Speaker 3: OK, well, this isn't going to help.
00:14:10
Speaker 2: Now we know the reason why you felt like you had to escape the tank and leave as quickly as possible. Unfortunately for you, though, I don't want to put you in a bad place here, Vince, but somebody else is in here with us right now. I don't know how else to tell you. Taylor's been on the phone the entire time listening.
00:14:35
Speaker 9: Hey, Vince.
00:14:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
00:14:37
Speaker 7: Don't laugh, Taylor.
00:14:40
Speaker 9: Vince, are you making this up because you don't like me?
00:14:45
Speaker 8: No, you don't know that you do this?
00:14:49
Speaker 9: No.
00:14:50
Speaker 6: This is 100% real.
00:14:52
Speaker 9: I'm just like a little taken aback by it because I've never heard anybody.
00:14:57
Speaker 8: Say this before.
00:14:57
Speaker 9: I've never woken myself up. Being this clown, like this is very strange. It kind of just makes me feel like maybe... You just don't like me and you're making it up.
00:15:11
Speaker 2: That is exactly what it says in the movie, guys. You don't like me.
00:15:19
Speaker 3: You're not helping Jeff.
00:15:21
Speaker 7: Sorry.
00:15:21
Speaker 4: Sorry.
00:15:22
Speaker 5: Oh, it's a romantic movie.
00:15:25
Speaker 4: Vince, is there any way you can see kind of the humor in this once you're, you know, have some space from it? She doesn't sound like she's an evil clown on the regular.
00:15:34
Speaker 6: Listen, I'm sure that she is like a really nice person and great to hang out with, but The memory of me trying to leave and her being like, well, can you at least come down and hug me before you leave?
00:15:51
Speaker 3: Hug me, Vince.
00:15:52
Speaker 2: It is like reaching down into the sewer hole and hugging the clown in there. She, like, grabs and pulls him in. Oh, it's just so unfortunate.
00:16:01
Speaker 8: You guys, this is absolutely ridiculous.
00:16:04
Speaker 2: It is.
00:16:05
Speaker 4: I agree.
00:16:05
Speaker 3: That's why we're laughing. I don't know that Vince is with us or not, though, on that.
00:16:09
Speaker 2: I mean, he's freaked out.
00:16:10
Speaker 3: Vince, what are you scared of, though? You know, like... Her?
00:16:14
Speaker 9: Why?
00:16:14
Speaker 3: Why are you scared of her?
00:16:16
Speaker 8: How could I not be?
00:16:17
Speaker 9: Like.
00:16:19
Speaker 7: Sure, I guess I know that she's not the real clown, but, like, I can't not think of it now.
00:16:29
Speaker 8: Vince.
00:16:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, Vince. You've seen her in the daylight.
00:16:33
Speaker 8: Vince, I am going to tell you something. Listen to me. I am not the clown from It.
00:16:41
Speaker 1: See?
00:16:41
Speaker 2: It has to be said.
00:16:43
Speaker 9: Do you believe me? I, um.
00:16:49
Speaker 6: I believe you're not the clown, but you are certainly reminding me of the clown.
00:16:57
Speaker 2: Even now.
00:16:58
Speaker 9: I see.
00:16:59
Speaker 3: I bet she has a dog that will remind you of Cujo, too.
00:17:01
Speaker 2: So, I mean, at this point, I don't know what else to do other than just go for it.
00:17:06
Speaker 3: Maybe we just send.
00:17:06
Speaker 4: Him to a hockey game. There's nothing weird or scary that happens at those, right?
00:17:10
Speaker 2: Frozen Waterbrook. The most shallow type of frozen.
00:17:14
Speaker 3: I meant the hockey match.
00:17:16
Speaker 2: Oh, Jason. Yeah, okay, look. Vince, we want to send you on one more date with Taylor, and if you said yes, we would even offer to pay for it.
00:17:24
Speaker 3: Hey, look at that.
00:17:25
Speaker 2: Come on, no more floating.
00:17:26
Speaker 3: We don't do that for all serial killer clowns.
00:17:29
Speaker 9: Vince, just say yes so that we can put this behind us.
00:17:33
Speaker 2: Seriously.
00:17:33
Speaker 8: Oh, God.
00:17:36
Speaker 2: Is that a joke? I think she did that one on purpose. Vince, it's up to you. Loosen it in the room, break in the ice.
00:17:44
Speaker 3: Come on, Vince.
00:17:45
Speaker 8: No, if it's up to me, I'm not. There's no way.
00:17:48
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
00:17:49
Speaker 9: I'm done.
00:17:51
Speaker 2: I swear we cannot get a yes on this segment lately.
00:17:53
Speaker 8: No.
00:17:54
Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, Jeff.
00:17:55
Speaker 3: You tried your hardest this morning.
00:17:56
Speaker 2: We really did. I mean, I know we've been mom-blocked before, friend-blocked. This is the first it-blocked that we've ever had.
00:18:02
Speaker 3: Clowns don't deserve this reputation. I'm telling you.
00:18:05
Speaker 2: I mean, this is like a circus. Oh, my God. I'm sorry, Taylor.
00:18:08
Speaker 8: It's okay, you guys.
00:18:11
Speaker 6: Aw, buddy.
00:18:12
Speaker 2: We like your lifestyle, though.
00:18:13
Speaker 3: Enjoy floating. Yeah, of course you'd suck up to the killer clown.
00:18:16
Speaker 2: I don't want to die. I keep wondering what would Vince have done in that deprivation tank if he heard the laugh, looked over, and there was a tiny paper boat floating up next to him. I forgot about the boat.
00:18:34
Speaker 3: I was thinking the red balloon with the blood, but the boat, that's pretty good.
00:18:38
Speaker 2: I want to say it was the perfect storm of things going wrong. but it was more like the perfect storm drain, honestly. Dark enclosed space, shallow water, creepy laugh.
00:18:48
Speaker 3: It's just wild that he couldn't get over it.
00:18:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the part. He was honestly scared.
00:18:54
Speaker 4: I feel like he should never take a date to a haunted house or any other Halloween-themed anything.
00:18:59
Speaker 3: This is what triggers him.
00:19:00
Speaker 2: I feel like anything does. Like a girl could accidentally not blend her makeup well, and he's like, clown!
00:19:05
Speaker 9: Clown!
00:19:06
Speaker 2: How did none of us even ask to see if she had red hair? Oh, now that would be a new record. That's on us. We need to do better as investigative journalists.
00:19:15
Speaker 3: We just trusted that she wasn't the killer cloud.
00:19:18
Speaker 2: Right.
00:19:19
Speaker 3: That was our bad.
00:19:20
Speaker 2: Although I did look up the float tank, if people are interested in going, and it is in the town of Derry.
00:19:25
Speaker 3: No way!
00:19:26
Speaker 2: Float at your own risk. And you can always email the show if you ever need help with your dating life. We'll call that person who's not calling you back. Go check out all of our second dates. They're up online wherever you get your podcasts at Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
