Listener Story: Eddie and Melanie's Ill-Fated Date

The core of the episode revolves around a listener named Eddie and his date with Melanie, who described herself as "low maintenance." Intrigued by her profile, Eddie arranged a unique date that combined fast food and a classic animated movie. However, what was intended to be a quirky and thoughtful gesture backfired, leading to Melanie ghosting him afterward.

Key Events of the Date:

1. The Setup: Eddie met Melanie at a mall parking lot, surprising her by opening the back of his car to reveal three bags of Wendy's and a portable DVD player playing Finding Nemo.

   Notable Quote:

   Eddie [05:24]: "We met online on one of those chat sites, you know."

2. Initial Reception: Melanie laughed at the unconventional setup but ultimately decided not to continue the date in the car.

   Notable Quote:

   Melanie [14:24]: "We had our food back there, and it seemed like it was kind of fun at first, but the vibe just changed, like, drastically once the movie started."

3. Attempted Recovery: Eddie suggested moving to a nearby bar, where they shared a beer and watched the movie together. Despite the effort to salvage the evening, Melanie chose to leave before the movie concluded.

   Notable Quote:

   Eddie [10:05]: "Yeah, I thought we did. So I walked her to her car, I gave her a hug, but for some reason, I haven't heard from her since."

---

Analyzing What Went Wrong

Brooke and Jeffrey delve into the reasons behind Melanie's decision to ghost Eddie. They propose that Eddie may have taken Melanie's self-description as "low maintenance" too literally, leading to a misinterpretation of her expectations for the date.

Discussion Highlights:

• Miscommunication of "Low Maintenance": Eddie interpreted Melanie's claim of being low maintenance as a desire for a simple, casual date involving fast food and a movie in the car. However, Brooke points out that "low maintenance" doesn't equate to a lack of thoughtfulness or effort.

  Notable Quote:

  Brooke [11:28]: "So, Melanie and all the ladies in the room go, well, obviously she didn't mean watch a movie in the car."

• Inappropriate Date Planning: The unconventional date choices, such as playing Finding Nemo and serving fast food in the car, lacked the romantic or engaging elements that a successful second date typically requires.

  Notable Quote:

  Brooke [17:54]: "Golden Rule. Just stay away from using Disney and sexual innuendos in the same sentence."

• Eddie’s Attempts at Humor: Eddie tried to infuse humor by referencing the movie's plot and making light-hearted comments, which may have been misinterpreted or fallen flat, further distancing Melanie.

  Notable Quote:

  Eddie [17:15]: "There's just so much emotion. I mean, how can I not be turned on?"

---

Melanie’s Perspective: A Closer Look

To provide a balanced view, Brooke and Jeffrey bring Melanie onto the call to hear her side of the story. Melanie explains that while she was initially amused by the setup, the atmosphere soured when Eddie became overly fixated on the movie's plot, even suggesting she help him "find the real Nemo in the backseat." This shift from a light-hearted date to an uncomfortable situation led her to end the evening prematurely.

Notable Quotes:

Melanie [14:50]: "We had our food back there, and it seemed like it was kind of fun at first, but the vibe just changed, like, drastically once the movie started."
Melanie [16:38]: "That kind of sealed the deal."

---

Lessons Learned: Navigating Second Dates

Brooke and Jeffrey extract several lessons from Eddie and Melanie's experience to guide listeners on improving their own dating outcomes:

1. Clarify Expectations: Ensure that both parties have a mutual understanding of what constitutes a comfortable and enjoyable date.

2. Balance Effort and Simplicity: While it's important to keep things low maintenance, infusing thoughtfulness and creativity can enhance the dating experience.

3. Communicate Clearly: Avoid ambiguous plans or gestures that might be misinterpreted, and be open to adjusting plans based on real-time feedback.

4. Humor Matters: While humor can be a great icebreaker, it's essential to ensure that jokes or playful comments resonate with the other person.

Notable Quote:

Brooke [19:37]: "It's why we're never going to get anywhere, Jeff."

---

Conclusion: Moving Forward with Insights

The episode wraps up with Brooke and Jeffrey reflecting on the complexities of modern dating. They emphasize the importance of clear communication, understanding personal boundaries, and being attentive to a partner's reactions and comfort levels. While Eddie's approach didn't yield the desired outcome, the insights gained offer valuable guidance for listeners navigating their own romantic endeavors.

Final Thoughts:

Eddie's attempt to secure a second date with Melanie serves as a humorous yet instructive case study on the pitfalls of miscommunication and overthinking in dating. Brooke and Jeffrey encourage their audience to learn from these experiences, fostering more authentic and successful connections in the future.

Notable Quote:

Jeffrey [20:01]: "If you don't want to miss out on an opportunity, make sure you're emailing the show so we can call the person who isn't calling you back."

Takeaway:
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update offers listeners a blend of humor and practical advice, dissecting real-life dating scenarios to provide entertainment and valuable lessons. This episode underscores the delicate balance between effort and authenticity in building meaningful romantic connections.

It's the movie Pixar would have made if they wanted to make all the children cry in the theater. So please sit back, Enjoy our number 10 second date update. Second date update. As a guy, I can think of a lot of qualities that men might be looking for in a female companion.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

You know, someone who's sweet. Yeah. Who likes to laugh. Oh, that's a must. Didn't hear any laughter from the ladies in the room.

[Brooke]

That's interesting. Women like people who are funny.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we do.

[Brooke]

Continue.

[Jeffrey]

But extra toe. Wouldn't say no to that.

[Brooke]

Wait a minute.

[Jeffrey]

You never know when you need a really good back scratch. Just toss that foot in there, mama. Get to work.

[Brooke]

You know it. They say about guys with 11 toes.

[Jeffrey]

She'S got the extra claw. But maybe the number one sexiest quality a woman can have from a guy's perspective.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Is somebody who is low maintenance. And apparently that from a guy's perspective. I know the ladies aren't going to understand that. I like a little high maintenance.

[Brooke]

Jose loves high maintenance. Look, how far is Perspective, but okay.

[Jeffrey]

Apparently that's what one of our listeners, Eddie, found recently from his date, who, in typical low maintenance fashion, is not calling him back. So, Eddie, really low maintenance? I apologize for her actions. I do not think they're warranted.

[Brooke]

Okay, you haven't heard anything about his date.

[Jeffrey]

I am already on Eddie's side.

[Brooke]

Okay. How does that feel, Eddie?

[Eddie]

That feels really good.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. You guys are like bro bonded or something right now. Yeah. Where'd you find this low maintenance woman?

[Eddie]

So we met online on one of those chat sites, you know.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Low maintenance girls dot com.

[Brooke]

Is that what you're trolling right now, Jack?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, sounds like a gold digger site. They're on like once a year. You can only catch them. You gotta be on there all the time. But, Eddie, next year. What's this low maintenance woman's name?

[Eddie]

Melanie.

[Brooke]

Melanie. Okay. I mean, did you know from the beginning that she was someone, I mean, that you were looking for? Right.

[Eddie]

Well, you know what I really liked on her profile, it said that she was low maintenance. So that. That was a gem for me. So I was like, you know what? Prove it.

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. That's an interesting challenge.

[Brooke]

That really sounds like you're high maintenance. Can you say that, Eddie?

[Eddie]

No. No. So I asked her. I asked her, you know, do you want to do a fancy cooking class or play? She said we can, but that's not really her thing.

[Jeffrey]

Good.

[Brooke]

I mean, play is kind of a lame first date anyways.

[Eddie]

First test, he said, literally, if you want to grab food and just watch a movie in the back of your car, I'm up for it.

[Brooke]

In the back of your car? Like what? On your phone? Where are you going? To watch the movie.

[Eddie]

Definitely had to be creative.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I decided to test it. So we ended up meeting in one of those parking lots outside one of those outdoor malls.

[Brooke]

Yeah, this all sounds so sketchy.

[Jeffrey]

Are you really going with the backseat of the car idea?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I mean, I had to test her.

[Brooke]

Okay, that's why she's not calling back. She actually came.

[Eddie]

Yeah, she showed up. She gave me a big hug, and she did look like her pictures.

[Jeffrey]

That's great. But did you ever warn her that this was actually the date that you had planned?

[Eddie]

I wanted it to be a surprise.

[Brooke]

No, no. Surprises are typically good things. Like you put thought into stuff.

[Jeffrey]

Look, I like her already. I love low maintenance. But I think she was saying it as a joke, bro.

[Brooke]

And low maintenance doesn't mean you don't want to have someone that's thoughtful.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

At least wine and dying. Well, I don't know. We're already getting all judgmental. We should figure out what happened when you showed her what the date was.

[Eddie]

Yeah, so I. I said I had a surprise for her.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Eddie]

I took in my car, opened the back door, and then right there, there's three big bags of Wendy's. You know, I was being thoughtful.

[Jeffrey]

Nice spicy nugs, dude.

[Eddie]

And then I had Finding Nemo playing on a portable DVD player.

[Jeffrey]

This is my perfect day. You want to wine and dine still.

[Brooke]

In a mall parking lot? Guys, this smell of the fast food in a car. I'm sorry, it just never smells good. Unless you're the one that orders it and brings it in.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I love it. This come from all the high maintenance women in this room. Never satisfied with the length of it.

[Brooke]

Did she laugh? What did she say?

[Jeffrey]

Blown away, obviously.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yes, she laughed. But she wouldn't get in.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Brooke]

Why not, Eddie? I mean, even the movie choice is kind of predator. You know, like feeling predatory.

[Jeffrey]

It's a Disney movie, Brooke.

[Brooke]

Yeah, this is all red.

[Jeffrey]

Did she not get in because she had to push the other teenager out of the way?

[Brooke]

Exactly.

[Eddie]

Nah, nah. She said she doesn't really know me yet.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Look at that. She's smart. She's thinking this through at least. Yeah, I didn't think of that. You're right.

[Brooke]

Did you have a plan B?

[Eddie]

So we went to a bar next door. Okay. We each had a beer and I teased her. I was like, you know, the Wendy's is getting cold.

[Brooke]

Oh, it's already.

[Jeffrey]

The first thing you guys did was eat the Wendy's.

[Brooke]

You're not still pushing the Wendy's. You need to give up on the Wendy's, man.

[Eddie]

Well, I mean. Well, it worked because a few minutes later, we were in the backseat watching Finding Nemo.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's my dude.

[Brooke]

One beer and she says yes to that.

[Jeffrey]

Now I'll eat the cold chip.

[Brooke]

Someone needs to talk to this girl.

[Eddie]

We had our burgers. We had our frosties, you know?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, Frosty.

[Brooke]

How is that not melted?

[Jeffrey]

Can you just let him get through one sentence without judging him, please?

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry.

[Brooke]

You slurped with a straw. Then what?

[Eddie]

Eddie, it wasn't like we were in a movie theater. We both seen the movie so we could talk through it.

[Jeffrey]

That's true. I like that sometimes.

[Brooke]

Okay, so you're hanging now. Is she feeling safe and comfortable with you?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I think so. But it was a little weird because it was good, but we didn't get to the end of the movie. Like, about three quarters into the movie, she says she had to go.

[Brooke]

Well, that's like an hour into the movie, my friend. I mean, she was there a while.

[Eddie]

Yes, she was. And I was okay with it because after so much fast food, I hope.

[Alexis]

So.

[Eddie]

Listen, you don't want to sit next to me.

[Jeffrey]

With the windows up, okay? Brooke, it's Wendy's. It is a delight. But it sounds like you felt like you left it on an okay note.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah, I thought we did. So I walked her to her car, I gave her a hug, but for some reason, I haven't heard from her since.

[Jeffrey]

Free Wendy's, free movie. He walks her to her car, free drink.

[Brooke]

I mean, did you really, truly feel like you guys had a connection, though? Eddie, that's. That's what matters. I mean, I know I'm making fun of you for the Finding Nemo and the interesting choices, but, you know, I.

[Eddie]

Really think that we did.

[Jeffrey]

And you said that she's low maintenance, so maybe she's playing the really, really low maintenance slow game here. I just hope that she answers the phone when we call her and get your second date update. All right, next second date update. Man, even when a guy does absolutely everything right.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Women, they just have this way to find something wrong and spin it against.

[Brooke]

We are just so picky. We are so demanding.

[Jeffrey]

Thank you for finally saying it.

[Brooke]

I have a list of things you could improve on. Yeah, that was sarcastic. At all.

[Jeffrey]

I'm bringing it up because one of our listeners, Eddie, took out a woman named Melanie who described herself as low maintenance, and she told him I'm the type of gal who'd be happy just eating fast food in the back of a car while watching a movie. But then, of course, when Eddie shows up with three bags of Wendy's and finding Nemo on Blu Ray in his suv, Melanie and all the ladies in the room go, well, obviously she didn't mean watch a movie in the car. Say what you mean.

[Brooke]

Ladies, come on. What come on?

[Jeffrey]

We're just taking you literally at what you're saying. And now we're trying to figure out if Eddie took things too literally. Brooke, I don't know, what advice do you have for Eddie that he needs to decipher what you really mean by Eddie?

[Brooke]

I think one of the, like, hard pieces for me listening to you to describe your date was how you kept saying I was testing her. Like, that's always something. Is like, oh, that feels so bad.

[Eddie]

You know, I've been on so many days with women that say that and they're pretty high maintenance and they just don't know it.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah, it's a wake up call.

[Brooke]

Did you. Did you tell her that you were testing her, though? Like, I'm wondering if that was maybe part of the problem.

[Eddie]

I definitely wouldn't do that.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Jeffrey]

Visually works really well when you're like, hey, by the way, this is a big test, so you better answer right.

[Brooke]

He could have easily said in the the back, hey, I was just doing this date because you said you were low maintenance, and I just wanted to see if that was right.

[Jeffrey]

And that would have come off sexy to you.

[Brooke]

No, that's what I'm saying. If he said that, that. That's why she's not calling him back.

[Jeffrey]

He's damned if he does, he's damned if he doesn't.

[Brooke]

It's a terrible date.

[Jeffrey]

A terrible date that she suggested to him and he just listened to. But what do we know? Let's just call her and hear what she has to say. You ready to do this, Eddie?

[Eddie]

Ready as I'll ever be.

[Jeffrey]

All right, here we go.

[Melanie]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Melanie?

[Melanie]

This is she.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Melanie. My name is Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Why are you laughing?

[Jeffrey]

I had to feel like Brooke should take it from here.

[Brooke]

What? I'm not saying anything.

[Jeffrey]

See, I've already screwed it up. I screwed it up because I giggled halfway through it.

[Brooke]

Melanie. How are you?

[Jeffrey]

Melanie? Hi.

[Melanie]

I'm. I'm good. What can I do for you?

[Brooke]

Ah, great question.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, it's not really what you could do for us, but what you could do for one of our listeners that you went out on a date with named Eddie.

[Melanie]

Um, okay. And who is this again?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, who am I? Yeah, we're Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. We're a radio show, and we're trying to help Eddie figure out what went wrong or if anything did go wrong on your date. Because he told us a little bit about it. He's not sure if he made some mistakes, but we'd just like to know what you think of Eddie.

[Melanie]

You know, I guess when I first met him, I thought that he was kind of funny.

[Brooke]

Okay, can I just ask, like, you show up to a mall parking lot and this guy opens the door and he's got Finding Nemo and Wendy's in the backseat. What are you thinking?

[Jeffrey]

Dream come true?

[Melanie]

I mean, in that moment, I kind of. I kind of had that lady feeling of like I put myself in this situation because I made A joke about.

[Brooke]

It was a joke.

[Jeffrey]

It was a joke. Did you. Did you say before you told them, though, by the way, what I'm about to tell you is a joke.

[Brooke]

Oh. It's always fun to be with someone that you have to establish what is a joke and what isn't every time you talk.

[Melanie]

I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt because, I don't know, texting is hard and, like, maybe it was just misinterpreted. You know, we've been getting along as we've been talking, you know, online, and I just figured it might as well be worth it to take the shot. We had our food back there, and it seemed like it was kind of fun at first, but the vibe just changed, like, drastically once the movie started.

[Brooke]

What do you mean? Once Finding Nemo came on?

[Jeffrey]

No. Finding Dory.

[Brooke]

Is that what it was? No, he said Finding Nemo.

[Jeffrey]

No, I think it was Finding Nemo the og.

[Melanie]

Okay, I definitely will remember that. It's called Finding Nemo because that was one of the big issues that he kept coming back to. He was getting, like, super agitated by the storyline.

[Brooke]

He was agitated?

[Melanie]

Oh, to a point where he was, like, changing color in his face, like, why can't they find that damn fish? And like this.

[Jeffrey]

Where the hell is it? We need to get a private investigator on this because it's taking too long.

[Brooke]

Was he joke. Was that a joke that. I mean, maybe you guys just don't understand each other's type of humor, right?

[Jeffrey]

True.

[Melanie]

And listen, and when I say I'm lone maintenance, I mean, like, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I'm not holding a lot of judgment, but this guy would not let this go. He just. He's getting heated and, like, he's over there ranting and raving about how it should be called Losing Nemo. And that is a fair point. But the thing is, that was weird. But he turned off the tv and then he suggested that I could help him find the real Nemo in the backseat. And I just.

[Brooke]

Wait, what is that? Like a.

[Jeffrey]

He's like, I've hidden a fish somewhere in this car. What does that mean?

[Brooke]

Was he, like it. Was it a sexual.

[Jeffrey]

I think it was a sexual.

[Brooke]

Is that what he meant? It was an innuendo.

[Melanie]

I don't know. It just went from, like, a little awkward first date misunderstandings to, like, really creepy really fast.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Melanie]

That kind of sealed the deal.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, there's been a lot of misunderstandings happening this entire. I don't know. No, I'm just saying there's a lot of misunderstandings, and maybe we should actually give Eddie a chance to explain himself, because, Melanie, he's actually on the other line listening right now, and he wants to talk to you.

[Melanie]

I'm sorry. He's, like, on the phone?

[Brooke]

Yeah, I think he needed to hear that, to be honest.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Eddie, you there?

[Eddie]

Yep, I'm right here.

[Brooke]

Are you dying of embarrassment, Eddie?

[Eddie]

No. I mean, look, there's a lot of emotion in that movie, you know? It just turned me on.

[Brooke]

Wait, what?

[Jeffrey]

Wait, what did you just say that.

[Brooke]

It turned you on?

[Eddie]

There's just so much emotion. I mean, how can I not be turned on? You know? Look, as a guy, it's hard to be smooth and funny and not get judged. And you know what? I feel judged right now.

[Brooke]

You weren't smooth or funny, though.

[Jeffrey]

You're saying that you were, like, using a pickup line on her with. You want to find Nemo in the backseat?

[Eddie]

Yeah. You know, trying to be smooth, trying to be funny.

[Jeffrey]

Look, I can identify with that, that sometimes it's hard to think of the smooth line in the middle of the date, especially when you have a Disney movie on.

[Brooke]

Golden Rule. Just stay away from using Disney and sexual innuendos in the same sentence.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, there's a way that it can work.

[Brooke]

I know there isn't, Jeff. Just don't do it.

[Jeffrey]

I have a star that you can wish upon. Ooh, I like that. I don't know.

[Brooke]

What are you, Tinkerbell all of a sudden, or you Pinocchio?

[Jeffrey]

I'm just trying to help our listener here somehow.

[Eddie]

I think maybe we're just miscommunicating. You know what? How about we do a redo? We could do a redo. And I promise you, if we watch a movie like Finding Dory, that does nothing for me, you know? So.

[Jeffrey]

I hope that fish dies. Yeah.

[Brooke]

It's so stupid. I mean, that dumb Dory thing.

[Jeffrey]

Not an Ellen DeGeneres fan. Okay, Melanie, I mean, how does hearing all that make you feel?

[Melanie]

Oh, I think I am just not the right fish in your sea.

[Eddie]

Eddie.

[Jeffrey]

It works when you're shutting somebody down.

[Eddie]

Are you sure? Because there's not a lot of fish like me.

[Jeffrey]

He's pretty rare.

[Brooke]

I feel like fish. Aren't there, like, a ton of melodies? Oh, clownfish.

[Melanie]

I gotta tell you, you're a pretty common fish, my friend.

[Brooke]

I think you got the clown fish right.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Is that what you're feeling like? Eddie? Are you doing okay? You learn anything here?

[Eddie]

I don't know. Maybe she was taking it the wrong way, but I felt like I was being pretty romantic.

[Jeffrey]

I just think you guys.

[Brooke]

Oh, boy. She says, oh, boy.

[Jeffrey]

I think lesson learned, Mickey Mouse. Definitely lesson learned, though, Eddie, if you do exactly what the woman says, she'll eventually hate you. That is exactly the lesson.

[Eddie]

That's exactly what I learned.

[Brooke]

It's why we're never going to get anywhere, Jeff. You know?

[Jeffrey]

So we're getting everywhere? Is that what you're saying? I am sorry this didn't work out for you, Eddie, but I think there is some girl out there who is going to be willing to help you find your Nemo. In the meantime, stick to your toy story. Your own.

[Brooke]

No, that doesn't make.

[Jeffrey]

No, that's not a problem. Appropriate. Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Can't say I'm surprised that that second date update didn't work out.

[Brooke]

Yeah. No. Yeah. Thank Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

I know.

[Brooke]

I mean, I know you tried to stick up for Eddie, but it got harder and harder, didn't it? Yeah, it did.

[Jeffrey]

I can't be honest and say I actually wanted to stick up for him in the first place, but part of my job is trying to come through for the listeners. By the end, you were the only one sticking up, and I was like.

[Brooke]

Can'T sometimes just the goal be to everyone learn a lesson here? Because I don't think Eddie.

[Jeffrey]

This is an npr, bro.

[Brooke]

I just. I just think really concerned about Eddie.

[Jeffrey]

Let's just imagine, though, for a second that it actually worked out between those two.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

How cute would it have been at their wedding for them to say, we conceived a child in the back seat? Because he told me to find Nemo and I did. Oh, yeah, I found him. I found Nemo.

[Brooke]

It would have been one of those wedding where the bride would go up to the maid of honor and say, don't mention anything about how we really met. Didn't tell my grandma.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I'll skip the Nemo part, but we did meet in the back of a car. I'm just saying, missed an opportunity today. But if you don't want to miss out on an opportunity, make sure you're emailing the show so we can call the person who isn't calling you back. Also, check out all our second dates up online at Brooke and Jack. Jeffrey.
