• Allison’s Excuse: She informs Corey that she cannot hang out as her grandma has an event, leading Corey to question whether the excuse was genuine or a polite way to decline further interaction.

    "She didn't say no, but she was just like, sorry, I have this. My grandma has this thing and I can't hang out today." (08:23)

• Hosts’ Perspective: Brooke and Jeffrey discuss the possibility that committing to a long-distance relationship from the outset may have been premature for Corey.

• Corey’s Missteps Exposed:

  • Offensive Comments: Corey had made insensitive remarks about Allison’s nose ring, implying she had "daddy issues," which Allison found offensive. "Because I'm trying to understand how many daddy issues you have." (13:07)

  • Financial Misunderstanding: Corey awkwardly asked Allison to pay for dessert, which came off as inconsiderate given he was the one who flew out. "He asked me to get my card out to pay? You suggested getting the cheesecake." (15:10)

• Outcome: The confrontation leaves no room for reconciliation, confirming that Corey did not secure a second date.

I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, a different type of podcast. You, the listener, ask the questions. Did George Washington really cut down a cherry tree?

[Dana Schwartz]

Were JFK and Marilyn Monroe having an affair?

[Josh]

And I find the answers. I am so glad you asked me this question.

[Az Fudd]

This is such a ridiculous story.

[Az Fudd]

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning and you found the second date podcast. And today we got a brand new one with a lot on the line, I would say, since the guy actually flew out for an entire weekend for a first date, that's a commitment. Okay. Big moves. Yeah. And obviously it didn't go well because he's on the phone with us. So we're gonna get the details on that in a second. But first, we love reviewing and seeing and loving on your comments, Alexis. Yeah, me said that was a fantastic episode. I can understand why you've won so many awards for excellence in radio broadcasting, which, wait for it, is a lot like being the Tannis scientist in Antarctica or the smartest person to ever have to repeat your senior year of high school. Congrats. We did it.

[Josh]

All right.

[Az Fudd]

I always say, what do they call a doctor that graduated last in his class?

[Josh]

A doctor.

[Az Fudd]

That's right, Jose. All right, we're gonna get your brand new second date started right now.

[Josh]

Second date update. I've heard you can always trust people who have a five letter first name.

[Az Fudd]

What?

[Josh]

Tyler Mason. Vince the Slap Chop guy. Oh, that guy got in a lot of trouble before he got arrested. I really trust him. He just feels safe talking to somebody with five letters in their first name.

[Az Fudd]

Who's Vince? No, I don't. Slap Chop, the infomercial dude?

[Josh]

Yeah. You could always trust him. That's why I get a really cozy feeling knowing our listener on the phone right now.

[Az Fudd]

Hey.

[Josh]

Has a five letter first name. A guy named Corey. C, O, R, E, Y. Cory. Your name alone means you have a lot to live up to here. But welcome to the show, man. How you doing?

[Lola Blanc]

Thanks. I'm all right. How are you?

[Josh]

Does the girl that you met have a five letter first name, too?

[Lola Blanc]

No. No.

[Az Fudd]

Sadly, I didn't know that Jeff was, like, so into this five letter thing. Nobody on this show has a five letter name.

[Josh]

Yeah, and that's how you know we're all pieces of garbage.

[Az Fudd]

So Alexis has the same amount of letters as I do. Almost.

[Josh]

But Jeffy. Jeffy has five letters in it. So I'm trustworthy and you can trust me with your story. Corey, go ahead. What's the name of this girl that you met?

[Lola Blanc]

Her name's Alyn Allison.

[Az Fudd]

What is this?

[Josh]

Hold on. And that's seven. Seven letters in that name. Let's call her Ally. A, L, L, I, E. So that I can approve of her.

[Az Fudd]

No one spells Ally that way.

[Josh]

Well, we do today. So tell us about Allison. Where did you meet her?

[Lola Blanc]

Well, I met her on a dating app and I haven't had the best of luck. Like, I've been on the dating apps for a long time, and it's just. It's been a while since I made any real connection with anybody.

[Az Fudd]

Yeah, we hear that a lot about the apps. I don't think you're alone in that at all.

[Lola Blanc]

Yeah, but Alice and I, we like, really hit it off. And the only problem is she doesn't live in my town. She lives like a couple hours away by driving. Whoa.

[Dana Schwartz]

Well, you got a big radius on that app.

[Az Fudd]

Yeah. Couple hours is a commitment.

[Dana Schwartz]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Than you're willing to do.

[Lola Blanc]

Yeah. It would have to be worth it. And I decided that it absolutely would be.

[Josh]

That's romantic.

[Lola Blanc]

She seemed into it too. So we were like, how? How do we do this? And I had a free weekend. I'm like, I'm free next weekend. What if I fly up there?

[Az Fudd]

Whoa. Oh, fly. I like how you're like, I'm not driving the couple hours. Get me on a plane.

[Josh]

Take a 30 minute flight.

[Az Fudd]

I know, but it takes the same amount of time at the end. By the time you have to, like, go to the airport, check in, do all the stuff, it's the same amount of time.

[Josh]

I mean, that's her seeing all the effort that you're willing to in just to meet up with her.

[Az Fudd]

Did you like, get a hotel or did you expect to stay with her for the weekend?

[Lola Blanc]

I didn't have expectations. I was like, you know, I was prepared for it, but no, I got a hotel.

[Az Fudd]

Okay. Okay.

[Lola Blanc]

But I didn't, I didn't have the hotel already booked. I was like, I'll get one when I need one.

[Josh]

Because you can't like, cancel day of. Also, your name is Corey with five letters in it. So she felt safe just being around you, knowing that in itself.

[Az Fudd]

Yeah.

[Josh]

She can trust.

[Lola Blanc]

Yeah. I mean, I didn't hopefully I didn't make any expectations that I was gonna stay with her or whatever.

[Josh]

Hopefully she registers that. How did the meetup go?

[Lola Blanc]

So we're like, let's just go to a restaurant. And she suggested a chain restaurant, which is fine. It's not the restaurant I would have picked.

[Dana Schwartz]

Wow.

[Az Fudd]

He's a little disappointed.

[Lola Blanc]

Yeah, it was great. The conversation flowed. There was lots of laughter. We were playing this game where it was like, let's look at the people around us and try to guess what job that they would have.

[Josh]

I love that one.

[Az Fudd]

Yeah, that's a fun one.

[Lola Blanc]

She was so funny. She kept saying, like, uber driver. Like, she ran out of guesses. She just kept getting the same thing.

[Josh]

Well, that could be anybody.

[Az Fudd]

Had to be their funny moment. Yeah.

[Lola Blanc]

Yeah.

[Josh]

That's your inside joke.

[Az Fudd]

Yeah.

[Lola Blanc]

That's cool. He wasn't, like, super great at the game, but we had a laugh about it.

[Az Fudd]

Was there more than just the restaurant, I would assume, because you're there all weekend, right?

[Lola Blanc]

Yeah. Yeah. So we were like, you know, dinner was over, and there was a Cheesecake Factory next door.

[Az Fudd]

This is like the chain Mecca.

[Josh]

I love it.

[Lola Blanc]

So I was like, let's get some dessert there. And we were going to take it to go.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Az Fudd]

Where were you going to go? What was the plan?

[Lola Blanc]

We were just going to go to the park and just hang out more.

[Az Fudd]

Cheesecake in the park at night? Yeah.

[Josh]

Romantic.

[Lola Blanc]

But, I mean, I was floored by the prices, actually, at Cheesecake Factory, to be honest.

[Az Fudd]

$12 a slice, it really is. Restaurants just right now are so expensive.

[Dana Schwartz]

Yeah.

[Az Fudd]

You know, like, prices have gone up so, so much.

[Lola Blanc]

And so we were just like. Just got one and we split it.

[Az Fudd]

Okay.

[Lola Blanc]

So we went to the park and we ate the cheesecake, had more good conversation, and then it was like, okay, let's split up.

[Az Fudd]

Oh, okay. So she didn't invite you back to her place.

[Lola Blanc]

She did not. I was flying back the next night, and so in my mind, it was like, let's go to bed and we can wake up early and, you know, spend the next day with each other.

[Josh]

Maybe do, like, brunch or something. Like before you leave.

[Az Fudd]

A lot of time with someone you don't know, though.

[Josh]

Yeah. But also, that's a good thing because you go to the hotel in the morning, you text her, say, hi, good morning. Would you like to do something? And if she says no, then you're like, then you know it's a no.

[Az Fudd]

There's free C breakfast in the lobby. Come hit up a waffle bar.

[Josh]

I mean, it's no chain restaurant, but it'll do. So what happened the next day?

[Lola Blanc]

Well, so I did that. I texted her, like, let's hang out. And she didn't say no, but she was just like, sorry, I have this. My grandma has this thing and I can't hang out today.

[Az Fudd]

Oh.

[Josh]

Kind of sounds like an excuse.

[Az Fudd]

Maybe not. Maybe it was just a miscommunication. Like, how good were you at being direct when you're coming in, like, hey, I want to see you both days?

[Lola Blanc]

I wasn't really, because I didn't Want to like put any pressure on her. But I was super disappointed though because we had headed off and like I flew up there.

[Josh]

Yeah. And now squeeze it in. And now she's not calling you back.

[Lola Blanc]

Texted a few times, but like it feels like a little different maybe. And so I can't figure it out. I have no idea what's going on.

[Josh]

I mean, if Allison really wants to go to her grandma's funeral over like spending more time with you, I think that's a big red flag for her.

[Az Fudd]

So it was an activity with her alive. Grammar is how I read it, Jeff.

[Josh]

Should have been more clear. Yeah, should have been more clear about that. And we're going to hold her feet to the fire. When we come back, call her and.

[Az Fudd]

Get you so aggressive.

[Josh]

Let's just see what she has to say when we do your second date update. Right after this second date update. It is not a good sign when you fly out of town for a first date and the person decides to to hang out with their grandma over you. Could be kind of a good old sign. Well, that's what kind of happened to our listener, Corey. He traveled by plane to meet up with a woman named Allison. They had dinner and cheesecake one night, but the next day she told him, oh, sorry, I actually can't see you again. I'm chilling with my gram gram today. So naturally Corey's wondering, is this cuz I did something wrong on our date, right? Or is her grandma really just like that? Cool? Brooke, please reassure Corey and tell him he's cooler than a granny here.

[Az Fudd]

Yeah, I'm sure that's what it is. My grandma's always going to come first. Grandma will come first. But grandma shouldn't take all day, right? Like there should even Corey, if it was like, hey, can I just meet you for coffee before I fly out? Did you.

[Josh]

Can I bring my grandma or coffee day?

[Az Fudd]

Did you ask that?

[Lola Blanc]

I mean, I guess. I guess I should have offered that. I didn't really. I didn't think of that.

[Az Fudd]

Okay. Yeah, I mean, maybe that's all it is.

[Lola Blanc]

Anybody. But I'm still holding out hope that this is going to work out okay. So I really appreciate you all doing this for me.

[Josh]

Well, I was also thinking maybe it sunk in too that you had to get on a flight like this long distance thing may not work.

[Az Fudd]

It's hard for long term relationships to be long distance, let alone starting a brand new one. Long distance?

[Josh]

I've never heard that. I've heard long distance is easy. So let's hope that Allison agrees. I'm going to call her right now. Hopefully she has some answers. But here we go.

[Dana Schwartz]

Hello?

[Josh]

Hey, is this Allison?

[Dana Schwartz]

Yes, who is this?

[Josh]

Hey, you don't have to be afraid. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. So don't ever start with, you don't.

[Lola Blanc]

Have to be afraid.

[Az Fudd]

Always good. When a guy says okay, that's the worst thing to say.

[Josh]

Don't be scared of us. We're a really friendly group of male and female hosts on the radio.

[Az Fudd]

Why do I not want to be.

[Josh]

Lumped in with you, Allison? It's gotta have two shows going on. Hello? Are you still there?

[Dana Schwartz]

Yeah, hi.

[Josh]

Okay, sorry for phrasing it that way, but you're on the radio right now and we're doing a segment. It's called a Second Date Update. We're trying to get some help for one of our listeners that you went out with recently. A guy named Corey.

[Dana Schwartz]

Oh, my God. Yeah.

[Josh]

Oh, I was quick. You. You know who exactly Corey is?

[Dana Schwartz]

Yeah, I mean, talk about someone who has no self awareness. Yeah, I know Corey.

[Josh]

No self awareness.

[Az Fudd]

Oh, that would explain why he has no clue why you're not calling him back.

[Josh]

Yeah, like, clearly he's not aware of what he did wrong because we heard the story from him about your hangout. We didn't pick up any red flags based on what we heard from him.

[Dana Schwartz]

That's laughable.

[Az Fudd]

Oh, my God.

[Josh]

Well, help enlighten us, because we are just trying to help Corey figure out what he did wrong.

[Dana Schwartz]

I mean, I don't know, he needs, like, a chivalry class or, like, social basics, like Interactions 101. But he was so rude.

[Az Fudd]

Like how he was rude to you?

[Dana Schwartz]

Yeah, like our first conversation. I sit down and he notices my nose ring and he's like, oh, how long have you had that? And I said, a couple years. I was like, why? And he says, oh, because I'm trying to understand how many daddy issues you have.

[Az Fudd]

Whoa.

[Josh]

Oh, my gosh.

[Az Fudd]

From a nose piercing? Yeah. What exactly associates daddy issues and nose. No.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah.

[Az Fudd]

Once you're, like, 85.

[Josh]

Well, clearly. Clearly Corey does.

[Az Fudd]

Was he trying to make a joke and it just didn't land right? Like, maybe that.

[Lola Blanc]

No.

[Dana Schwartz]

I mean, if that had been the only thing, fine. But I was like, okay, maybe he's nervous. Maybe he's like, we just don't get each other's humor.

[Az Fudd]

Right.

[Dana Schwartz]

But then we're, like, playing this game where we're, like, picking out the jobs for people around us and it's like, fine.

[Josh]

Yeah, we heard about that. Everyone was Uber drivers. Right? Right.

[Dana Schwartz]

Yeah. I mean, that came after what he said my job was. So I was just kind of in shock.

[Az Fudd]

Wait, wait, wait. He picked out a job for you?

[Dana Schwartz]

He picked out a job for me. And he goes, I have a job for you. And I was like, oh, okay. And he's like, it would be groupie.

[Az Fudd]

What?

[Josh]

Groupie.

[Az Fudd]

Like you'd be some desperate woman following a band around as a job.

[Dana Schwartz]

Exactly. And I was like, not even a good joke.

[Josh]

Really?

[Dana Schwartz]

Yeah.

[Josh]

No, maybe he meant it in, like, you seem like a fun type of girl.

[Az Fudd]

I don't think a groupie's ever a good thing.

[Josh]

Well, it's a good thing for the band. Oh, yeah. The band thinks that they're good.

[Az Fudd]

The band likes them that much?

[Dana Schwartz]

Yeah.

[Az Fudd]

No, usually people hate groupies.

[Dana Schwartz]

It was so weird. Why would you tell someone that? And I told him, that's offensive. And he was like, oh, just based on your nose ring? You know, based on how you're dressed.

[Az Fudd]

Based on how you're dressed.

[Dana Schwartz]

I was like, okay, I'm done. But we left the restaurant, and then I was already over it. And then he was like, oh, there's cheesecake. Let's go to Cheesecake Factory. Which he suggested. And I was like, okay, yeah, that's fine. Whatever.

[Az Fudd]

Let's.

[Dana Schwartz]

Let's see how this goes. And he asked what the price is and looks at me and he goes, oh, so are you going to get your card out?

[Az Fudd]

What?

[Josh]

He asked you to get your card out to pay?

[Dana Schwartz]

Yeah. And I'm like, what? You asked me on a date. You suggested cheesecake. If this was breaking your bank, why did you say, come in here?

[Josh]

Yeah, well, you are the host because he's the one flying in town. So a lot of times the host is supposed to pay for stuff like meals, but I don't know, it seems like a little bit of a stretch.

[Az Fudd]

That is more than a little bit of a stretch, Jeff. Again, what she said. He suggested going to cheese Cake. He's the one that asked her out. Like, he paid.

[Dana Schwartz]

Yeah. Then he. We got, like, one piece and we split it, which he ate mostly. And I'm like, this is so weird.

[Az Fudd]

That's your red flag? Worse than the offensive comments. He's probably a guy that wouldn't share his fries, Right?

[Josh]

So no doubt there's some questionable stuff being said by him, but there's always two sides to every story. We should at least, at a minimum, and hear what Corey has to say about it. Because he is on the other line right now waiting to talk to you.

[Dana Schwartz]

No way.

[Josh]

Actually, he is, and I'm sure he.

[Az Fudd]

Just wants to apologize.

[Lola Blanc]

Alison, I just feel like. I feel like you just left out all the good parts.

[Az Fudd]

Oh.

[Josh]

Oh, there's good parts?

[Lola Blanc]

All the good parts. And you just said all this stuff that you have problems with. I didn't even know you had problems with. Because you didn't say anything about it.

[Az Fudd]

Okay, she told you it was offensive. Is Allison even still there? Yeah.

[Dana Schwartz]

What do you mean you didn't know I had a problem? I said that's offensive. When is calling anyone a groupie positive interaction?

[Lola Blanc]

I mean, it was kind of like a joke, but also just kind of like your vibe, right? Like a fun, but like a fun vibe. You know?

[Dana Schwartz]

You see me, but I'm the groupie.

[Lola Blanc]

Look, I. I didn't mean any disrespect. Like that movie Almost Famous, like the Penny Lane. Like, she's cool, like her.

[Az Fudd]

It was a really bad cycle that she was in. If you watch the whole movie, it sounds like you're really defensive and you didn't expect. Expect that she was offended.

[Lola Blanc]

No. No, I wasn't expecting that.

[Az Fudd]

So I think maybe just take a deep breath and use this opportunity to apologize and own some of it.

[Lola Blanc]

I apologize. I don't know what she's mad about.

[Az Fudd]

You told her she had daddy issues. Corey, you've got to apologize.

[Lola Blanc]

Okay, maybe I didn't say. No, I didn't say she had daddy issues, all right? It's just like, my personal experience is that usually girls with nose rings usually have some kind of daddy issues. And it's not even. I'm not even saying, like, it's bad. It's like.

[Dana Schwartz]

It's just a thing you have a lot of.

[Josh]

What are your okay issues aside, it is interesting that you didn't tell us, Corey, that you asked Alison to pay for the cheesecake. Oh, yeah.

[Lola Blanc]

After you were the one I'm supposed to pay for everything.

[Josh]

Why? Just because you were the one who suggested getting the cheesecake? Alison, tell Corey how you felt during that moment when he asked you to pay for the dessert.

[Dana Schwartz]

I was like, wow, this guy's a loser.

[Az Fudd]

Does make him a loser.

[Lola Blanc]

Whatever. I'm a loser. But what, you want me to just take care of you like I'm your daddy? Sounds like you've got daddy issues.

[Dana Schwartz]

I want you. I want you to never take care of me. I want you to never talk to me. That's why you didn't hear from me.

[Lola Blanc]

Thank you. I wish you just told me that in the first place instead of stringing me along.

[Dana Schwartz]

I didn't string you along. I made up a lie about my grandma. I didn't string you along.

[Josh]

Oh, there. Wait, you lied? There was no hangout with your grandma on the next day? No.

[Dana Schwartz]

I was trying to be kind, but, like, I didn't know he was going to call a radio station and air out that he was just.

[Josh]

I thought that we had daddy issues, but apparently it's granny issues that we've got going on. So before we let you go, we have to we offer you a chance to meet up one more time. And we will pay for the second date for at least the dinner.

[Dana Schwartz]

Absolutely not.

[Az Fudd]

Okay, good. She didn't even let you finish your sentence.

[Josh]

Wow. So rude.

[Az Fudd]

We're being sarcastic, Allison. Sorry he had to go through that.

[Lola Blanc]

What about me? I think, like, dragged through the mud.

[Az Fudd]

Yeah, yeah, I know you feel that way, buddy.

[Josh]

That was.

[Az Fudd]

That was your own dragging, though.

[Josh]

It's called consequences.

[Az Fudd]

Oh, Brooke brought out the buddy comment.

[Josh]

Really is looking down on you, bro. So, Corey, it's not going to be another date with Allison. It's a no from her, obviously.

[Lola Blanc]

Fine.

[Josh]

But good news. You're back onto the dating app. Just where you want to be.

[Lola Blanc]

Great. Catch more nose rings. Awesome.

[Az Fudd]

You don't have to match with those girls.

[Josh]

Look at Jeffrey in the morning.

Hi, I'm Darren Marler, host of the Weird Darkness podcast. I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast. Belt Spreaker is the all in one platform that makes it easy to record, host and distribute your show everywhere, from Apple podcasts to Spotify.

I know we were arguing a lot about groupies there for a second, but it is interesting that none of us said groupie isn't technically a profession.

[Az Fudd]

I know. That's because we've watched too many reality shows where people say anything is a profession anymore.

[Josh]

Right? I mean, if I were her, I would have said that's not a job for like one. You have to guess. You need to pick again. Oh, so she's grouping out a road.

[Az Fudd]

You wouldn't be offended. It's just inaccurate.

[Josh]

Yeah, it would have been a lot. I mean, it has its perks, but you're not on a payroll.

[Az Fudd]

Yeah, I think you're kind of missing the point of what she was upset about. But sure, Jeff. Yeah, yeah, that's it. But overall, there's no bennies.

[Josh]

There was no good match happening between the two of them. It's just too bad Corey had to fly out in order to figure that information out.

[Az Fudd]

He chose.

[Josh]

He could have done it.

[Lola Blanc]

That's true.

[Josh]

Hopefully he takes it as a learning experience for what not to do and what not to say and what body piercings not to draw dumb conclusions from.

[Az Fudd]

Okay. Yeah, because he sounds like a guy who's really open to change.

[Josh]

Yeah. Yeah. So if you ever need help with your dating life, you can always email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back and go check out all of our second dates.

Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense? That's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II when they tricked the literary world with their intentionally bad poetry, setting off a major scandal. We break down the truth, the lies, and the poetry in between on Hoax, a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzie Logan and me, Dana Schwartz.

I'm Jeff Pearlman. And I'm Rick Jervis. We're journalists and hosts of the podcast Finding Sexy Sweat. At an internship in 1993, we roomed with Reggie Payne, aspiring reporter and rapper, who went by Sexy Sweat a couple years ago. We set out to find him, but in 2020, Reggie fell into a coma after police pinned him down and he never woke up.

[Az Fudd]

But then I see my son's not moving.

[Josh]

So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protecting their own. Listen to finding Sexy Sweat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
