Key Discussion Points & Insights

Angela’s "30 for 30" Challenge

• Angela’s Premise: Freshly 30 and single, Angela vows to try new tactics; "I came up with 30 for 30 dating," she explains. "That means I have vowed to go out on 30 dates before the end of the year." (04:37)

  • Motivation: To break out of her rut, and possibly find “the one” by casting her net wide.
  • Progress: She’s on date 19, ahead of schedule but reluctant to continue after meeting Damon.
  • Transparency: Initially disclosed her challenge to dates, but "they acted all weird, so three and on I haven’t said anything about what I’m doing." (06:40)

• Memorable Moments from Her Dates:

  • "Four was a nightmare. He took me...and I beat him...he was just sulking." (05:58)
  • "Twelve brought his mom...she ended up staying the whole date." (06:10)
  • Hosts joke, "At least you got a mom out of it." (06:27)

Angela and Damon’s Date (#19)

• Vibe: "He's a genuine guy...We had a really nice kiss, it was super cute, and I thought he would be calling." (07:16)
• Cost: Damon paid about $200 for the meal.
• Post-date Silence: Over a week and a half passes; Angela texted and called once. No response from Damon. (08:54)

The Investigation

The Second Date Call

Damon’s Perspective — Starts at 11:33

• Reason for Ghosting: “I've been blowing her off a lot...I kind of don’t want to hang out with her no more.” (12:25)
  • Why? “I feel more taken advantage of...I feel violated. My pocket.” (12:47)
  • Clarification: Damon recounts Angela’s behavior during dinner: "She does videos...she was doing food reviews. That’s why she ordered $200. It wasn’t that we were caught up having a great time." (13:26)
    • Angela "ordered one of everything," and filmed the meal, asking Damon to hold the camera.
    • Damon felt ignored, “She told me to kind of be quiet so I don’t interrupt.” (13:53)

Notable Quote:

Damon: “You had your phone out the whole time. We really didn’t connect on anything. And you didn’t even eat all the food. It was just like, you would order the most expensive dish to take one bite and move on to the next dish.” (14:50)

Angela Reveals Her Side — Angela Joins at 14:27

• Her Defense: Asserts it wasn’t a food review, but "just doing my own little silly 30 for 30. That’s it." (15:43)

  • "I like you...I don’t want to go on the 20th. And that’s the video was about."
  • Explains that Damon wasn’t filmed for privacy.

• Host Inquiry: “Did the other 18 dudes all have to pay for your meals too and film you eating?” (16:49)

  • Angela: “There’s no have to, right? ...It’s not making anybody, strongly suggested that they do, I guess.” (16:56/16:59)

• Damon Stance: He’s frustrated with “being part of somebody’s elaborate game...I mean, I have my games though.” (17:09)

  • Angela pushes back, "It's not games, it's goals. It’s goals and objectives." (17:19)

Negotiation for a Second Date — At 18:11

• Damon’s Terms: “No phone. How about this: we go out again, you spend $200 on me.” (18:14)
• Angela’s Response: “No, I don’t like his energy now.” (18:32)
  • She refuses to pay, claims Damon’s attitude changed.
• Hosts’ Outrage: Playfully scold Angela for bailing after getting a perfectly fair reciprocal challenge from Damon.

Notable Exchange:

Damon: “Don’t let the game play you, play the game.” (19:13)
Brooke: “Well, you kind of got played, bro.” (19:16)
Jeffrey: “Says the guy that’s out 200 bucks.” (19:18)

Hosts’ Wrap-Up & Analysis

At 21:12

• Brooke & Jeffrey reflect:
  • Joke about "60 for 60" as Angela ages.
  • Jeffrey: “She said no. I know. What is that? Now I’m like, there’s a reason she’s been on 19 and nobody…” (21:17)
  • Brooke: “Her intentions were a little shady at the end there.” (21:23)
  • Jeffrey: “He was matching her energy...you want a person that’ll push back a little bit. The give and take.” (21:26)
  • Brooke sums up: “Angela has to move on to guy number 20 in her 30 for 30 quest. And I just hope whoever that guy is has a good job and steady hands—dinner’s not going to be cheap and he’s going to have to hold the camera the entire night.” (21:37)

Summary

This episode dives headfirst into the realities of contemporary dating, social experiments, and the expectations (and pitfalls) of mixing content creation with real relationships. Angela’s “30 for 30” approach is ambitious, but her surprise at Damon’s pushback after feeling used highlights the complications of dating in an age where every experience might be performance. Ultimately, neither is willing to budge, and both part ways—Angela onto date #20, and Damon $200 lighter but a little wiser. The hosts deftly balance comedy and empathy, making this a must-listen for anyone navigating, or simply bemused by, the modern dating scene.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, it's Brigand Jeffrey, and we've got a brand new second date podcast for you. And just a quick check in, we'd love to hear how you found our podcast. Yeah, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, maybe. You're on YouTube right now. We love it. Let us know in the comments. And what do you see right now on the board? Well, Kalen Banks Lovelady found our podcast this way. My husband introduced me to your podcast on our honeymoon. We listened to hours and hours while in the car. And now six months later, we're still listening together on Road Trip. Oh, they're still married six months later. Congrats. I love it. I love it. Well, your brand new episode starts right now.

[Brooke]

Second date update. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And when you turn 38 years old and you're still single, some people handle it just fine.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

But others, not so much. They start looking around, wondering, why am I the only single person at the bar right now?

[Jeffrey]

You're not. You just feel that way?

[Brooke]

No, I am. Everybody else is making out except me.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my gosh. That doesn't mean they're together with anyone.

[Brooke]

All my friends are getting married now and they're having kids.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Maybe I should start thinking about adopting my seventh cat.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Just to keep the other six company. You know, I want to be a good cat mom.

[Jeffrey]

Seven's lucky.

[Brooke]

Yeah, but it's easy. You can get self conscious and down about it, or you can be proactive and do something. And apparently, that's what our listener Angela has decided to do when she turned 30 recently. And she said, I gotta switch up my dating tactics. So let's learn about it. Angela, welcome to the show.

[Angela]

Hi, guys.

[Brooke]

Angela, happy 30th birthday.

[Angela]

Oh, my God, thank you.

[Damon]

I'm so old.

[Jeffrey]

Dude, you're not. You're not, but I get it.

[Brooke]

So you said in your email that you switched up your dating tactics at 30. What did you do?

[Angela]

So, like, I've been single for way too long. And I was like, okay, let me try something different. So I thought, all right, I'm obviously not gonna be on, like, Forbes Best three people in the world, so why don't I do my own version of that? And I came up with 30 for 30 dating.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, 30 for 30 dating.

[Angela]

That means I have vowed to go out on 30 dates before the end of the year.

[Brooke]

30 dates while you're 30 years old.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. It's like the 30 before 30 bucket list that's trending. Yeah. This is 30, guys. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.

[Brooke]

It's a month.

[Angela]

It's been rough. I mean, I've had to, like, speed it up. I'm on 19. I completed 19. But the thing is, I don't know if I want to go on 20, because I really, like.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, good. I mean, I feel like you should have some fine print in this that if any of the numbers turn out awesome, you don't have to continue, because that's the whole point.

[Brooke]

Yeah. So I'm assuming that we're calling one particular guy here. But before we get to that real quick, because just because this is so interesting, your situation so unique, could you tell us, like, some of the highlights and lowlights from your 30 for 30 experience?

[Angela]

Okay. Four was a nightmare. Okay. He took me accidentally, and I beat him. And, like, the rest of the day, he was kind of just sulking like. Yeah, four was a nightmare. 12 brought his mom.

[Brooke]

Oh, yikes.

[Jeffrey]

All you need to say.

[Angela]

And she was only supposed to stay for, like, 30 seconds, and she ended up seeing the whole date.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

She said the whole time she hold his hand and tell me he was being a good boy. I really liked you.

[Angela]

Yeah, absolutely. Her and I still talk.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Jeffrey]

Out of the. The last 18 dates, you got a mom out of it. Hey, that's cool.

[Angela]

What can I say?

[Brooke]

Do these dudes know that you are on a challenge, or do you just go on the dates naturally?

[Damon]

So it doesn't.

[Brooke]

That's a really good question.

[Angela]

So, like, when I first started, I was telling them, like, trying to be all transparent. Like, one, two. I told. And then they acted all weird, and everything was just weird about the date. And so, like, three and on. I haven't said anything about what I'm doing.

[Brooke]

It'd be a good litmus test to see how the guys are about it. If they're chill.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, I don't know how chill they'd be about it, Jeff. They don't really want to be considered a number. Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

Unless you're a 10 out of 10.

[Jeffrey]

But that's what. That's what date 19 was. Does he get a name or do we just call him 19?

[Angela]

19 is a 19 out of 19. His name is Damon.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow. And he gave him a 19 rating out of a 19.

[Jeffrey]

That's hot.

[Angela]

I like Damon. Dinner was, like, really good. Like, it was. He's a genuine guy. Like, he has a really nice smile. No press. We went for a walk. We kissed. We had, like, a really nice kiss. It was super cute, and I thought he would be calling and I don't really want to go on a 20. Like, I really want to go out with him again. And if I'm asking you guys, can you please help?

[Brooke]

Okay, well, hold on. You skipped really fast. What's the deal with Damon's mom?

[Jeffrey]

Are you in that close? No.

[Angela]

I hope I meet her next date.

[Brooke]

Okay, you want to meet this mom? That's good.

[Jeffrey]

Did anything weird happen on your date with Damon or awkward?

[Angela]

No. I mean, we ate dinner at a Mexican place. He paid and, I mean, all was well. Yeah, he was fine. I think, like, maybe almost 200 bucks. Like, it was a really nice. Everything was chill.

[Brooke]

That's a nice salsa. I know.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Angela]

Okay, listen, he got a kiss out of it, and I want to see him again.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. Do you think there's any chance he could have found out about the 30 for 30? Like, are you posting about it on your Tick tock? Alexis said that some of these are trending.

[Angela]

Yeah, Okay, I am posting about it on my insta, but I don't ever give my. But I never give my socials out to anybody. I just start dating. Right.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Angela]

I don't know how he would find out about that because it's like, not my name on my insta, but.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's what I was gonna say. Search your name.

[Jeffrey]

But if you heard you're the latest one and it was a good date, I wouldn't be that upset.

[Damon]

Upset?

[Brooke]

You didn't post a bad post about.

[Angela]

Yeah, that's a compliment, right? Thank you.

[Brooke]

So how long has it been since you and Damon hung out?

[Angela]

Oh, my God, it's been like a week and a half and I haven't heard from him.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, like, you've texted, you've called, or.

[Angela]

I don't really double text, but I did text and I did do a call and, like, that's plenty, right?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brooke]

I don't do anymore. That's the problem is some people don't get that hint and then they keep going. What you need to do is have a radio station call him. Yes.

[Jeffrey]

What if he's doing a 30 for 30 and he's only on number 17? That's why.

[Brooke]

Amazing.

[Angela]

That would be the pits. Wait, screw him? Like, that's not even it.

[Brooke]

You guys can do double dates side by side. Well, we'll Try to figure out what's going on with Damon. When we come back, call him and hopefully get some answers. On your 30 for 30. Second date update. 30 dates with 30 men on your 30th birthday.

[Jeffrey]

30Th year.

[Brooke]

We got it. That doesn't sound as sexy.

[Jeffrey]

You can't do it all in one day.

[Brooke]

Okay, but they get it. You understand what we're doing? Second date update, right after this. Hold on. Second date update. Welcome back to a special second date update 30 for 30 edition. And what is 30 for 30? Yes, it's a little dating challenge our listener Angela gave herself when she turned 30. 30 years old, where she decided, I'm going to go out on 30 dates with 30 different men before she turns 31.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, cuz she wants to be in a relationship. Like the goal is not to just do this, but it's also to find someone.

[Brooke]

Yeah, and also a little brag too. The thing is, she hasn't even reached 30 guys yet. She stopped at 19 after she met Damon, who has turned out to be everything she was looking for. In fact, she sounds fully ready to go all in on him if she could just get him to answer her damn calls. So we're gonna step in and try and make that happen. Now, Angela, do you have a guy, number 20 lined up just in case? Because we might need to put a little pressure on Damon with a little, hey, if you don't, somebody else will.

[Angela]

I don't have a 20. I don't.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. You really are committed to this guy.

[Angela]

I am. I am. I hope so.

[Brooke]

Okay, well, if. I think we're all in agreement though, that's if we get him on the phone. We're not bringing up the 30 for 30 challenge to him. Unless he already knows about it.

[Jeffrey]

Right. Unless he saw her Instagram or something.

[Brooke]

We just go by number 19.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, sure, 19.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's really. It's your business, Angela. If you want to bring it up to him, that's your decision. We're not going to say anything, but let's just call his number, we'll see if he picks up. And here we go.

[Damon]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Hey, is this Damon?

[Damon]

Yeah, it is. Who's this?

[Brooke]

Hey, man. This is a radio show, actually, called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Jeffrey]

Hi, Damon. Hey.

[Brooke]

Hey, good morning.

[Jeffrey]

Sounds like we caught you. Maybe you're busy right now or something.

[Damon]

I mean, it's not that I'm busy. I just don't. I don't know why the radio station's calling me.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's funny, because we Know you at least.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, we've heard about him.

[Brooke]

Well, not in a creepy way. In a good way. We've heard a lot about you. I don't think that's how I said it, but okay, you're right. We. We've heard glowing reviews about you from one of our friends, a listener to our show, a woman named Angela.

[Damon]

Oh, the girl I went out with? That Angela?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Cuz what we're doing here, it's called the Second date Update, and we're just trying to help out Angela. She feels like after your hangout, you've been blowing her off a little bit.

[Damon]

Yeah, I've been. I've been blowing her off a lot. Like, kind of don't want to hang out with her no more.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Damon]

All right.

[Jeffrey]

That sounds like something wrong.

[Brooke]

Well, that's really interesting to hear, because when we delved into your date, she couldn't figure out anything that went wrong that night.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Sounds like from the way you're talking, it should be obvious, huh?

[Damon]

Well, I feel more taken advantage of.

[Jeffrey]

Than taking advantage of.

[Brooke]

And not in the good way. Like the bad way.

[Damon]

Yeah, I feel violated. My pocket.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, she said that you paid for dinner. Is that what you mean?

[Damon]

Yeah, I paid 200. She doesn't tell y' all that?

[Brooke]

Yeah, she said 200, but she made it seem like that was totally agreeable and that you were happy to offer that.

[Damon]

That's totally not true. I mean, I was actually kind of coerced into it.

[Jeffrey]

Coerced?

[Damon]

Yeah, like, she does videos. She records videos.

[Jeffrey]

Videos of what?

[Brooke]

She's like an influencer. Like, on the date she was recording.

[Damon]

Videos, she was doing food reviews. That's why she ordered $200. It wasn't that we were caught up having a great time.

[Brooke]

Oh, my gosh, no.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, so wait, she, like, ordered one of everything on the menu so she could try it?

[Damon]

Yeah, and I mean, it's like the whole menu and not the happy hour menu. It was.

[Jeffrey]

My God. And then, I mean, the weird part is you're at dinner and then they're on their phone. Yeah. Recording. Y me. Like, did she even talk to you?

[Damon]

No, she told me to kind of be quiet so I don't interrupt.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry.

[Brooke]

Now I understand a little bit more why you feel like you were used.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Wait, but though you kissed? I thought she told us that you had a great kiss.

[Damon]

I mean, hell yeah. I'm not going to turn it down.

[Jeffrey]

After what he suffered through, the least he.

[Brooke]

You deserve a review on how your kiss was. Because she should have videoed it. In fact, we might be able to give it to you right now since Angela has been on the other line listening, wanting to talk to you.

[Damon]

Why? Why? Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Angela?

[Brooke]

Angela, are you there?

[Angela]

I'm here.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you sound embarrassed.

[Brooke]

Don't be embarrassed. You. I'm upset. Why didn't you tell us that this was for a food review?

[Angela]

Well, it wasn't for a food review. That's what he's just assuming, but. Hi, Damon.

[Brooke]

Damon, Damon, talk to Angela here.

[Damon]

Hey. Yeah, whatever. You kind of faking the funk right now. You know that you had your phone out the whole time. We really didn't connect on anything. And you didn't even eat all the food. It was just like, you will order the most expensive dish to take one bite and move on to the next dish.

[Angela]

No, Damon. Oh, my gosh. Like, I know I have my phone out, but it wasn't a food review. And honestly, Damon, we had like. It was $200. You had an appetizer. I had an appetizer. You had an entree. I had an entree.

[Damon]

Wait, slow down. You had all of that alone yourself? Oh, and I. I remember because I was the cameraman, remember? You told me. Hold your phone.

[Angela]

I know. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. I feel. I feel really crappy about that part. But I'm going to tell you, it wasn't a food review.

[Brooke]

Angela, you got to explain. Why were you making him film you while eating the food?

[Angela]

It wasn't for a food review. Like, honestly, I like you. And the reason why you're on the show today is because I turned 30, as you know, earlier this year. And I just made a personal goal to go out on 30 dates for my 30th year of life. And I wanted to do a video for Instagram. And you're number 19. Okay, Dalen, that's what's going on. You're number 19. And I don't want to go on the 20th, though. I don't like, like, I'm trying to tell you I like you. I don't want to go on the 20th. I like you a lot. And that's the video was about. It wasn't like trying to order a bunch of food. It was just doing my own little silly 30 for 30. That's it.

[Damon]

Okay, so what happened to the other 18 dudes?

[Angela]

The other 18 are wherever they are. I didn't go out on a second date with them. I didn't like them. I wasn't interested. And now this is where it Stops.

[Brooke]

So none of it was actually about reviewing the food. It was just kind of B roll content to talk about the date.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Damon]

If that's the case, why wasn't I in the video at all? I was just filming you eating because.

[Angela]

I respect your privacy. Like, I wasn't going to put you on black like that.

[Brooke]

I am curious, Angela. Did the other 18 dudes all have to pay for your meals too and film you eating also? Great question.

[Angela]

So the thing is, there's no have to, right?

[Brooke]

Like, making anybody strongly suggested that they do. I get.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God. I mean, David, where are you at knowing that this was all part of a challenge?

[Damon]

I mean, I don't like being a part of somebody's elaborate game that they're trying to have to like, boost their own self esteem. Because, you know, I have my games, though.

[Angela]

It's not games, it's goals. It's goals and objectives.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Damon]

I'm number 19. Like, you got 10, 15 more people to go. Like, come on.

[Angela]

I don't have anybody else to go. I want to stop a few damage.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's, that's the point is this may have all started out as like a fun experiment for her, like an interesting way to meet people. But once she met you, Damon, she decided, I'm out. I'm fully committed to Damon if he's willing to give me another chance.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, and she didn't even want to tell you about it because she knew that it probably wouldn't feel good.

[Brooke]

You know, like, it'd be weird. In fact, she rated you a 19 out of 19. Which is the highest rating you can have. Yeah, up to 20.

[Angela]

You know, if we went out again, there would be like, no phone. Like, I wouldn't do any of. I mean, that was literally just some social stuff, Damon. Like, it's not anything like that. Like, I'm just.

[Damon]

All right, enough.

[Jeffrey]

Okay? I like this. Damon's taking charge. What do you need to say if.

[Damon]

We go out again? No phone. How about this? We go out again, you spending 200 on me.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Wow. There's a challenge for you.

[Brooke]

I like that too, because that's a challenge.

[Damon]

How about you end your challenge on that?

[Brooke]

Okay, so it's a yes from Damon. Now it's up to Angela. Will you accept his terms and conditions?

[Angela]

No, I don't like his energy now.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Brooke]

What? You gotta be kidding me.

[Jeffrey]

Dude. Angela, we work so hard for you, you better pay for that date.

[Angela]

No, I'm not. I gotta. Like, first of all, like, just slowed. I didn't make you pay for anything. But this whole, this whole attitude, like that energy is not going to work for me like you say. Okay, why don't we make it, like, be a little more polite about it? Like he's been. I don't do. I didn't know you was gangster.

[Jeffrey]

That was ridiculous. You know what? He's matching your challenge. That's all he's doing.

[Angela]

No, he's not. It's my challenge. Find your own challenge.

[Brooke]

Time is running out on this segment. So, Damon, any last words before we let you go?

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Damon]

Don't let the game play. You play the game. Okay.

[Brooke]

Well, you kind of got played, bro.

[Jeffrey]

Says the guy that's out 200 bucks. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning on.

[Hari Kondabolu]

[Jeffrey]

Talking about health in a different way.

[Hari Kondabolu]

It's not only about what we can do to improve our health, but also.

[Jeffrey]

What our health says about us and the way we're living.

[Hari Kondabolu]

Like our episode where we look at.

[Jeffrey]

Diabetes in the United states. I mean, 50% of Americans are pre diabetic.

[Hari Kondabolu]

How preventable is type 2?

[Jeffrey]

Extremely. Or our in depth analysis of how incredible mangoes are.

[Hari Kondabolu]

Oh, it's hard to explain to rest of the world that, like, your mangoes are fine because mangoes are incredible, but, like, you don't even know.

[Jeffrey]

You don't know.

[Brooke]

You don't know.

[Jeffrey]

It's going to be a fun ride. So tune in.

[Angela]

She said, johnny, the kids didn't come home last night.

[Brooke]

Along the Central Texas plains, teens are dying, suicides that don't make sense. Strange accidents and brutal murders in what seems to be a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad. Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people.

[Jeffrey]

There are people out there that absolutely know what happened.

[Brooke]

Listen to paper ghosts, the Texas teen murders on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, imagine, Brooke, one day you end up going 60 for 60.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

60 dudes in your 16th year.

[Jeffrey]

Dude, I do not want to enter the dating game again. That's true.

[Brooke]

It does go up as you get older.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Challenge gets harder, dude.

[Jeffrey]

She said no. I know. What is that? Now I'm like there's a reason she's been on 19 and nobody.

[Brooke]

Her intentions were a little shady at the end there.

[Jeffrey]

I thought it was like so cool. He was like matching her energy. You know, you want a person that will push back a little bit. You know, the give and the take.

[Brooke]

Gave too much, took too little.

[Jeffrey]

Darn.

[Brooke]

But looks like Angela has to move on to guy number 20 in her 30 for 30 quest. And I just hope, I hope whoever that guy is has a good job and steady hands. Cuz clearly dinner's not going to be cheap and he's going to have to hold the camera the entire night.

[Jeffrey]

You know what? I don't even want to follow her on socials. He doesn't have to remember.

[Brooke]

Right, right, right.

[Jeffrey]

It's a choice.

[Brooke]

That's right. Maybe that's what modern chivalry is is. It's not about opening doors and pulling out chairs anymore. It's holding their cameras and choosing to pay the bill. Oh, I'm just gonna ask that on the next date. Excuse me, but do you think I could use your phone and take a picture of you? What a gentleman. The dating world's weird and that's why we're here to help. If you ever need it, reach out to the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back. And go check out all of our second date updates. They're online wherever you get your podcast at.
