Brooke
We talk about listeners planning epic date nights all the time.
Alexis
Yeah, I'm impressed by some of them.
Brooke
But this one could literally go down in the record books. And when I say literally, I do mean literally.
Alexis
Oh, okay. They were like breaking records.
Brooke
And when I say go down, oh, what? You know.
Alexis
Oh, well, must have been a good time then.
Brooke
Anyway, record breaker. Welcome, Kyle, to the show. What's up, Kyle?
Kyle
Not much. How you Guys doing?
Alexis
Oh, hey, what's up? You sound like a crazy record breaker, Kyle.
Brooke
Yeah, sounds like you had a lot of energy. So tell us about the girl that you went out with. What's her name?
Kyle
Her name's Abby. She's pretty awesome. We met on Hinge.
Alexis
Okay. How long did you talk with Abby before your guys first date?
Kyle
I don't think a good week.
Alexis
Okay.
Kyle
Maybe even a little bit more than that.
Brooke
What did you find attractive about Abby?
Kyle
Well, I mean, she's beautiful. Like, a lot of her photos were travel, like around the world and I love traveling. And she looks like she likes to have a lot of fun.
Abby
You know that's a strategy, right? We put those photos. Okay.
Alexis
Yeah, of course. And it works, Alexis, it's fine.
Brooke
Okay. So what did you and Abby end up doing for your date? You mentioned something about breaking records in your email.
Kyle
Yeah, so she's got a pretty crazy schedule, so we were having a hard time pinning down a date and like the only time she had open was a night. I already had an event plan with some of my buddies.
Alexis
Okay.
Kyle
So I just thought, you know what, my friends are nice guys and even though it was a big event, I would have a lot of time to like spend with her, so I invited her along.
Alexis
I don't think that's a bad idea. Like, no, there's not very much pressure. You know, it's more of a hangout, like, get to know you situation. I mean, I guess depending on what the event was with your buddies, maybe I should ask that.
Brooke
Yeah. What was it?
Kyle
Yeah. So I guess like, in hindsight, maybe it wasn't the best thing to invite her to. So, like, you've heard of the Guinness Book of World Records, right?
Alexis
Yes.
Brooke
Never heard of it.
Kyle
So I have always a kid, always wanted to be in it, and I found one that my friends and I have been working towards. So. Okay. My buddy owns a bar.
Alexis
Okay.
Kyle
It's the Guinness Book of World Records. Has a woman in Germany, she opened eight bottles of beer with her feet in under a minute.
Alexis
Whoa, wait, you were trying to break that record that night?
Kyle
I mean, it's not the first time I've tried, but this was like the real, like this was gonna be it.
Jose
Official.
Alexis
Wow. I thought you said you'd have time to talk to her.
Jose
Dude, but having a girl watch you break a world record, like there's no other way.
Abby
Does that cut up your toes?
Jose
I'm sure it does.
Kyle
Yeah.
Brooke
I mean, what are the rules of this?
Kyle
So basically you use like duct tape and you put bottle openers on your feet.
Alexis
Oh, okay.
Brooke
O.
Jose
So, yeah, it sounds more realistic.
Alexis
You're at a bar with your buddy, walking around with bottle openers duct taped to your feet, trying to impress a lady.
Kyle
Not the whole time. I mean, like, just, like, for the competition. But of course, you know, like, when we walk in, all my friends are there. There's other people there who are like, they know what's happening, so they start chanting my name. They're like, kyle, Kyle. Kyle. So she looks at me like, what is going on?
Alexis
You didn't prep her beforehand? She was looking around like, what's going on? You didn't tell her what you were going to be doing?
Kyle
Yeah, sort of.
Brooke
So she walks in and, like, sees her date with bottle openers strapped to his bare feet, and she's thinking, oh, God, this is the guy.
Kyle
I mean, look, I didn't want to brag about it. I didn't want to, like, say I'm gonna be doing this really cool thing.
Brooke
No, you're right. You shouldn't brag about that.
Alexis
I mean, the thing is, don't lie about the schedule. You invited her there because you were the star of the night and you thought you would impress her, which is fine, but let's just be honest right now.
Brooke
Of course.
Kyle
Yeah. Okay. Well, I mean, there's worse things, so I don't think it was that bad.
Brooke
Okay. You know, maybe we're too quick to judge this.
Alexis
Yeah, it sounds kind of fun.
Brooke
Tell us more about what happened once Abby got there and you guys were hanging out with your bottle open feet.
Kyle
Well, hold on. I just like to say the bottle openers weren't on my feet yet. We were having a good time, and then it was time. So I have to go get ready, put the bottle openers on my feet, and then it's time. And you gotta go. You got a minute? I've got to get nine bottles open to beat the record.
Alexis
That's pretty fast.
Brooke
Yeah.
Alexis
Did you edit?
Kyle
Unfortunately, I did not.
Brooke
How many did you get through?
Kyle
I got to the sixth bottle, but. I don't know. My feet were tired. It was a beast.
Alexis
Wait, so I. I have a question, because this. This record sounds really important to you after you didn't do it. Did you, like, pout? I mean, were you a sore loser?
Kyle
I don't think I was. It was one of those things, you know? I wasn't going to let it ruin my life or even ruin my night.
Brooke
Did you at least give her one of the opened foot beers? He's like, Sign the back of it.
Kyle
I'll sign the back. When I actually, like, beat the record.
Jose
I'll make you a martini. Grab the shaker with his foot.
Brooke
Yeah, you don't want to drink out of one of the shameful failed football.
Alexis
You know what they say about a man that's good with his feet, though. It's good with weird. I don't know, but it sounds like the good start of something.
Brooke
Yeah, maybe so. I mean, it sounds like kind of a fun event for the crowd, but was there any actual romance happening between you and Abby during this whole time?
Jose
Doesn't seem romantic.
Kyle
No, but it's funny. There was a part where I told her, you know, we're talking about the competition. I said, anybody could do this. I bet you could do it. Let me see your feet. And, you know, she took her shoe off and she let me see her foot. And that was pretty cool.
Alexis
Love that.
Brooke
Very hot. Okay, so how long has it been since this happened?
Kyle
Almost two weeks.
Alexis
Two weeks. And how did you leave that night?
Kyle
We both drove there separately, so it was a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Alexis
Okay.
Kyle
All my friends were around, so I'm gonna be.
Jose
You know, you missed opportunity to drive her home with your feet, bro.
Jeff
Now that would have sealed the deal.
Brooke
That's impressive.
Alexis
High fives.
Brooke
It's a good sign, though. It's a good sign, though, that she at least gave you a hug and a kiss at the end of the night. So maybe there is a chance here.
Alexis
And showed her foot.
Brooke
Okay. Yeah.
Ameca Insurance Voice
Yeah.
Jose
That's racy.
Alexis
Yeah.
Brooke
So let's give it a shot. We're going to play a song, we'll come back, dial her number. Maybe using my feet.
Jose
Please don't.
Brooke
We could be here for 17 minutes. But we're going to do your second date update right after this.
Kyle
Thank you, guys.
Brooke
All right, hold on.
Ameca Insurance Voice
Second date update.
Brooke
If you're just jumping into the second date update, one of our listeners, Kyle, had a one of a kind date night with a woman named Abby.
Jose
Very well.
Alexis
Yes.
Brooke
I can't think of a better way to say that.
Alexis
Yeah.
Brooke
So he brought her to a bar that one of his buddies owns. And the activity for the night was Kyle attempting to set a new world record for number of beer bottles opened with his feet.
Alexis
It was like a whole event at.
Brooke
The bar, if you're wondering. I guess you strap bottle openers to your toes and you have to do it that way. 8 was the record to be in under a minute. And after the minute was up, Kyle only managed to Open six.
Alexis
No wonder she's not calling him back.
Brooke
Yeah, it was a failure. Not just on setting the record, but it would seem, also for the date, because like Brooke said, Abby has not been returning Kyle's calls. But, Kyle, before we reach out to her, I want to leave you with this quote. Okay. Failure defeats losers, but inspires winners.
Alexis
Oh, deep. I hate quotes.
Brooke
I saw that spray painted.
Comedy Voice
Alexis doesn't understand it.
Brooke
I saw that spray painted on the screen side of a wall of a methadone clinic. So I feel like that's good. It's worth repeating.
Jose
Have we ever considered that she was the last record holder and she was.
Alexis
Offended it was a German woman.
Jose
Yeah, she could be German. We haven't called her yet.
Brooke
Who knows? It's possible. Kyle, what do you think?
Kyle
Sure.
Alexis
Okay. I think you could come back from this, Kyle. I mean, that's the thing. I think. I don't think where you messed up is actually doing the world record thing. I think it's not telling her before you got to the bar, not preparing her for that event.
Kyle
Yeah, maybe you're right. But, like, I wasn't trying to, like, trick her or anything. It was a surprise.
Alexis
Yeah. Yeah.
Jose
Creeper or weird or anything. You're just doing your own thing.
Abby
I have a bro night.
Alexis
It's always good for a person to have passions. Yours are just a little bit different.
Brooke
Than you hear, Jose. You're not a creeper. You're just a guy that opens bottles with his feet.
Alexis
Yeah. Makes sense.
Abby
There's a difference.
Brooke
So here we go. I feel ready to make this call. Do you feel ready?
Kyle
I do. Absolutely.
Alexis
Okay. All right.
Brooke
That's the winning attitude that we need. I'm gonna dial Abby's number right now. Here we go.
Jeff
Hello?
Brooke
Hey, I'm looking for Abby.
Abby
This is Abby.
Brooke
Hi, Abby. My name's Jeff. I work on a morning radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Abby
Oh, I know your show.
Alexis
Oh, cool. Thanks, Abby. That's awesome.
Jose
Remember this day.
Brooke
I know. Maybe we should all retire now. Let's end on a high point. But no Abby. So we're doing something called the Second Date Update. I guess you might be familiar with that.
Abby
Oh, yes, I am.
Alexis
Okay. Congratulations.
Brooke
Yeah, I mean, congratulations is a word.
Alexis
Meet somebody really likes you.
Brooke
Yes, that's true, Abby. And so obviously you know how this works. Someone's trying to get ahold of you. Their name's Kyle.
Abby
Oh, gosh, of course it is.
Alexis
Okay, it sounds like you two had a very memorable night.
Brooke
Yes.
Abby
Yes. It was weird.
Brooke
Yeah, she said it not us. So, yeah, Kyle did tell us a little bit about the night. Why don't you tell us about your perspective on it?
Abby
Did he tell you the activity?
Alexis
Yeah. The world record for opening bottles with his feet?
Kyle
Yes.
Alexis
When did you find out that was what he was doing that night? Because he also told us that he didn't tell you about it?
Abby
No. And that was the first thing that was jarring to me because I'm thinking we're just going to go to a bar and, like, get to know each other, and it's going to be him and I. And, like, I knew this was a bar that his friend owned, and so I'm like, oh, cool, I'll get to meet his friend.
Alexis
Yeah.
Abby
But I did not expect all of his friends to be at the bar. And I certainly didn't expect, when we walked into the bar, for them to be chanting his name.
Brooke
That must have felt pretty cool.
Abby
No, this is, like, horrifying for me.
Brooke
Were you thinking that a lot of the people there thought you were just a groupie?
Abby
I kind of think I lost the ability to think for a minute because I just was, like, in shock.
Alexis
So wait, at that point when they're chanting his name, you still have no idea why?
Abby
No. No.
Alexis
Oh, no.
Abby
So after the chanting, like, dies down and his friends are coming up and like, hey, man, you ready? You ready? And he tells me, he's like, okay, here's the thing. I'm gonna try to beat a Guinness world record tonight. I was like, what? And then he tells me what it is again. What?
Alexis
Yeah.
Brooke
So are you saying the reason you're not calling him back is because of just the surprise of finding out what the activity for the night was?
Abby
Well, that's one reason that there are more. Oh, yeah, we're there and we're like, things are settling down and, like, I'm feeling a little better and this is gonna be okay. And I'm like, it's just a silly thing. Right?
Alexis
Right.
Abby
So he goes over, like, against the wall, and he takes off his shoes, and he's doing these feet exercise things against the wall stretches.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
There's just something about being barefoot in a bar that grosses me out.
Abby
Yeah, it's kind of, like, gag worthy. And so then, like, I'm going toward him to, like, see what kind of exercises he doing, and his friend intercepts me and is like, so glad that Kyle brought you, but you can't really talk to him right now. And, like, you need to leave him alone because he has to focus.
Alexis
Are you Talking, like, five minutes before he does this thing, or I don't.
Abby
Know what time he's going to do his thing. So I don't know.
Brooke
I wonder what Kyle would think about this. Because as you probably know, Abby, Kyle's been on the other line listening this entire time, and he wants to talk to you.
Abby
I forgot that part.
Brooke
Kyle, put your foot up to the speakerphone. Okay? We won't be able to hear you.
Kyle
Hey, Abby.
Abby
Hi, Kyle. Hi.
Kyle
First, I just want to say I did not realize that my friends, like, took you aside. I did not tell them to do that. That was way out of line. Okay. Sometimes, you know, sometimes your friends can be overprotective.
Alexis
Yeah.
Kyle
So I just want to say I apologize for that. And, like, I'm not trying to make a joke here. Like, no puns, but, like, he really put his foot in his mouth.
Alexis
Okay, that was. That was a pun. Nice dud.
Brooke
I approve.
Alexis
Hey, that's. That's a good start, though, Kyle. I mean, Abby, thank you.
Abby
I appreciate that. But, like, something else that you didn't tell me that one of your friends told me that I just think is. I don't know, is that, like, if you were gonna break the record that you were probably gonna be gone for a while because these people in Japan had offered you a position on some, like, game show tour over there to be, like, a professional beat bottle opener.
Brooke
Wait, what? What does that mean? Kyle, explain.
Kyle
I mean, I didn't mention anything because I thought, oh, God, I wish my friend said that. Anything. So you guys know, like, lots of wild things are really popular in Japan. Like, yeah, so they also have, like. There's, like, a lot of game shows and even talk shows that have people do, like, crazy things.
Alexis
Yeah. Yeah.
Kyle
And one of them is, like, doing stuff with their feet. Not, like, gross stuff. Well, sometimes it's gross, but not, like, dirty.
Brooke
So you're gonna be on one of these weird Japanese game shows.
Kyle
There's been some interest, and it's not like I'd be there for years. It'd be like three or four months.
Jose
Doing a little tour.
Alexis
It's kind of awesome.
Jose
I mean, it is kind of cool. If you're gonna be good at something, even if it's weird. Be the best. Right?
Kyle
Tour.
Alexis
What a story. Like, in your life to be like, well, let me tell you about what I did.
Abby
He didn't get the world record.
Alexis
I think it's awesome.
Amazon Voice
Sure.
Brooke
I mean, it's pretty cool. But maybe if you're planning to head over to Japan really soon, it's not the best time to try and start dating someone here.
Alexis
Yeah, but nothing's for sure. There's never good timing in life, Jeffrey and Abby. You like traveling. That's what he said. He said he saw on your profile that you like to travel.
Abby
Yeah, yeah, I do. I've actually always wanted to go to Japan.
Alexis
See?
Jose
No, listen, if he was in Japan, see, his feet tricks. Oh, he's gonna be sworn with the lady.
Brooke
Do you think you could tell your boss, hey, can I get four or five months off work? I'm gonna go watch my boyfriend open bottles in Japan with his feet?
Abby
No, I don't think that. I don't think that would fly.
Kyle
Hey, guys. Can I just say though, you know, money's not everything, but the kind of money that I would get paid, even like as a beginner, I could quit my job. I would only have to work for maybe five months a year.
Brooke
There's some perks there.
Abby
I'm interested. Feet can do a lot.
Alexis
I mean, that's not too bad though either.
Brooke
Does that change anything for you, Abby?
Abby
I don't know. I guess it's kind of more interesting than I thought.
Alexis
And it's a reason why he was taking it so seriously, right? There's actually something on the line here.
Brooke
I mean, you have to look at all the positives from this state. This is a guy who is committed to something very, very deeply. He's passionate. He's going to travel with you. He could possibly only work four to five months a year.
Jose
If you ever order a beer at a nice restaurant, he is going to be the coolest.
Alexis
Oh yeah.
Brooke
Just opening all sorts of stuff with his feet wherever you go. So I think maybe you should consider going out on another date with him. And if you do, we will pay for that date.
Abby
I think. I will. I will. I will.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
We did it.
Kyle
Abby. I promise you won't regret this. I'll make up that first date. I will keep my shoes on the whole time. I promise.
Brooke
All right. Shoes on, but close off.
Alexis
That is so awkward. So awkward. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
