Introduction

In the episode titled "Plane In The Neck," hosts Brooke and Jeffrey delve into the intricate dynamics of post-first-date interactions, specifically addressing the phenomenon of being ghosted after a promising encounter. This episode centers around listener Logan's experience of meeting Ellie during an unexpected flight delay, their ensuing connection, and the subsequent challenges Logan faces in securing a second date.

Logan's Airport Encounter

The episode kicks off with Brooke welcoming listener Logan, who shares his recent encounter with Ellie at the airport. Logan recounts how a four-hour flight delay provided the perfect backdrop for meeting someone new.

• [02:12] Brooke: "And that's how one of our listeners, Logan, met someone recently. One of the handful of cute people strolling through the airport."

Logan describes his attempt to break the ice with Ellie using humor, specifically airplane puns, and how this approach initially elicited positive reactions.

• [03:12] Logan: "I was like, man, I tell you, these airlines are getting to be a real plane in the neck."

Brooke and Jeffrey express amusement and support for Logan's proactive approach, encouraging his efforts to create a memorable first impression.

Building the Connection

As the conversation progresses, Logan details how he and Ellie spent the four-hour delay together, bonding over shared jokes and mutual interests. He mentions buying her drinks and engaging in light-hearted banter, which seemed to solidify their initial connection.

• [05:07] Logan: "That wasn't on purpose. It was natural."

Jeffrey humorously notes their linguistic puns and the friendly atmosphere that developed between them during the extended wait.

Post-Encounter Challenges

Despite the enjoyable time they shared, Logan faces challenges in maintaining communication with Ellie post-encounter. He reaches out multiple times—texts and calls—but receives no response, leaving him uncertain about Ellie's intentions.

• [05:50] Logan: "I'm thinking, was she playing around, or maybe I'm in a relationship?"

Brooke empathizes with Logan's predicament, suggesting that Ellie's laughter and demeanor might have masked her true feelings or intentions.

• [06:42] Brooke: "Maybe she was just bored. Like, maybe you were reading more into the dating aspect than she was."

Attempting a Second Approach

Determined to rekindle the connection, Brooke and Jeffrey decide to take matters into their own hands by reaching out directly to Ellie. They initiate a phone call, hoping to facilitate a second date update.

• [09:28] Jeffrey: "We're gonna dial her number right now. We'll try and get a second date update."

This leads to a humorous and somewhat chaotic interaction where Ellie initially believes the call is part of a radio show promotion. The conversation takes an unexpected turn as Ellie references another individual named Mike, creating confusion.

• [14:00] Ellie: "So, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm gathering that everybody on this phone call is interested in Mike, but nobody's interested in me?"

Logan quickly clarifies the mix-up, asserting his identity and intentions.

• [14:41] Logan: "I'm here. Like, you can talk directly to me, actually."

Despite the initial confusion, Brooke and Jeffrey persist in their efforts to assist Logan, offering to facilitate another meeting with Ellie and even proposing to sponsor the date.

• [16:36] Jeffrey: "We're gonna send you out on another date with. And we'll pay for that date and we'll throw in a generous tip on top of it."

Conclusion and Reflections

The episode wraps up with Brooke and Jeffrey reflecting on the challenges of modern dating, the perils of relying solely on first impressions, and the importance of clear communication post-encounter. They emphasize that while genuine connections can be fleeting, persistence and authenticity are key to overcoming obstacles like ghosting.

• [17:09] Brooke: "Insult to injury... we have loyalty to no one. So if you have loyalty to us too, you can always email us. We'll call the person who isn't calling you back to get you a little second date Update Action."

Jeffrey concludes with a hopeful note, encouraging listeners to reach out for assistance in navigating their own post-first-date dilemmas.

[Brooke]

Quick, Alexis, before the second date starts, tell everyone hello in. In Australia. Oh, good day, mate. Oh, there we go.

No. Now they understand what we're talking about. Let's get to what you came for. It's your second date.

[Jeffrey]

Second date. Update. I've always thought.

[Brooke]

Jeez, you always thought someday I'd be 13.

[Jeffrey]

Puberty's gonna get me one day.

[Brooke]

There it is. There it is, buddy.

[Jeffrey]

I've always thought that the airline commercials are doing it all wrong.

[Jose]

Why?

[Jeffrey]

You know, instead of talking about how comfortable their seats are or how helpful their flight attendants can be.

[Jose]

Yeah, which is tr.

[Jeffrey]

They should advertise all the hot action that you can get while at the airport. And I'm not just talking about the massage tables where I was recently arrested.

[Brooke]

Yeah, do that at those massage tables.

[Jeffrey]

The lady didn't ask If I was a real masseuse, I just went for you.

[Brooke]

Giving them.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah, I'm a giver. You know that about me. But just think, hundreds of thousands of people go through those terminals every single day. At least a handful of them have to be cute. And that's how one of our listeners, Logan, met someone recently. One of the. One of the handful of cute people strolling through the airport. Logan, welcome to the show.

[Logan]

Hey, guys.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Jose]

She and tsa or what happened?

[Brooke]

You like a lady in uniform? Is that what you're wondering?

[Jose]

Like, whoops. You need to search me because I'm willing.

[Logan]

I did not get frisked.

[Brooke]

Okay, okay. No, you were actually in the airport or you were on the plane?

[Logan]

No, I was waiting by the gate.

[Brooke]

Okay. Oh, that makes sense. And you're both leaving the same city, so chances are good that you guys are from the same place.

[Jeffrey]

And who'd you meet?

[Logan]

Exactly. So I see her and I, you know, I quickly took inventory of my environment. I was like, oh, there she is. Six o'clock. Got it moved a couple of times. Got to where I was sitting right next to her. So they announced over the speaker that there's gonna be a four hour delay.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God.

[Logan]

Plane didn't come in.

[Brooke]

You're the only person exc. This is it.

[Logan]

You know, I immediately I could hear her mumbling under her breath, like, how unbelievable. And I was like, man, I tell you, these airlines are getting to be a real plane in the neck pocket, dad.

[Ellie]

Joke.

[Logan]

Just gambled with it. She ended up laughing really hard.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you're saying the joke landed? Yeah.

[Logan]

Bingo.

[Jose]

Gonna take off.

[Jeffrey]

We understand each other, Logan? So she liked the humor. What happened after that?

[Logan]

So she's like, I don't know how I'm going to kill four hours. And I was like, well, I got a great idea. What we can do is we can head right over to that bar where I am going to buy you a drink.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, there you go.

[Brooke]

I like that beer.

[Jose]

Absolutely, bro.

[Brooke]

Dude, smooth, my friend.

[Logan]

I went right in with the card. You know, I'm like, hey, pair of aces. Here we go.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I'm funny and an alcoholic. You, it's your lucky day.

[Jose]

Yeah, well, it's an airport. You can drink at any time of the day, whenever you want.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah, it doesn't count when you're at the airport.

[Jose]

No, it doesn't. Alcoholism doesn't exist.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. I bet she's still laughing too, right? Because it's so cheesy.

[Logan]

Yeah, no, we're having a great time. You know, I'm throwing out some questionable jokes here and there. Like, she had a book that was in her bag that she moved out. And I was like. I was like, oh, you read.

[Jeffrey]

You can read, huh?

[Logan]

But she laughed and she's like, yeah, do you. And I'm like, no, not. Not really. You know, not well. Yeah, not too well.

[Brooke]

Oh, so you guys are really hitting it off.

[Logan]

Yeah, we're going back and forth. Before I knew it, four hours just flew. Flew by there.

[Jeffrey]

We're gonna hit our 10 pun quota.

[Logan]

That wasn't. I swear that wasn't on purpose.

[Jeffrey]

Natural, man. All right.

[Jose]

We gotta keep our seats in the upright position for this guy.

[Jeffrey]

That's a long time to be spending with somebody one on one time. Four whole hours at the airport bar.

[Jose]

That is true.

[Logan]

Yes, yes, absolutely. I considered it. Like a little first date.

[Brooke]

Absolutely. I would too.

[Jose]

So what were the odds that you two set next to each other on the fly? Probably like zero, right?

[Logan]

Yeah, we didn't get a chance to do that. We were kind of near each other and there were definitely glances and look.

[Jose]

Totally.

[Logan]

So when we get, you know, arrival. Yay. Okay. So nice to meet you. Oh, well, you know, give you a call. Oh, for sure. You know, maybe some. Some dinner.

[Brooke]

Yeah, you're the first one that's role played.

[Logan]

This situation we're doing, we're doing a little bit of the nice pleasantry, goodbye. And then of course, the reason I'm on the phone with you guys, I reach out, text a couple times, even a little phone call, nothing in response. He's a hottie. I'm thinking, was she on her little, I'm not at home, I'm not in my own city, I can flirt around with a guy, but maybe I'm in a relationship.

[Brooke]

How long has it been?

[Logan]

Oh, it's been a couple of weeks. Here.

[Jeffrey]

So you hung out with her for four hours and you didn't get a read on whether or not she was single?

[Logan]

My read was that she was single and that she was available and that she was having a great time with me. I'm just thinking, you know what? I can imagine her acting that way, feeling like no strings attached.

[Brooke]

I mean, maybe it was just that. I'm not to be mean, but maybe she was just bored.

[Jose]

Yeah, right.

[Brooke]

Like, maybe you were reading more into the dating aspect of it than she was.

[Logan]

Hey, she was cackling. Her laughter hit a certain note.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Logan]

There was a tonality to the laughter that said, I like you.

[Jose]

You two obviously didn't kiss or anything. Right. Because I have been a big green flag.

[Logan]

Yeah. No, I didn't. I didn't get to that.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay. That would have been strange.

[Jeffrey]

I thought green flag was like an airplane pun, but I guess it's.

[Jose]

No, no, that would be.

[Brooke]

They're just rare.

[Jose]

They don't use flags. They use the little poles that light up. Remember that. That baton.

[Jeffrey]

I feel like we can't go to the song until we get just one more airline pun.

[Brooke]

I think we can. I think we could go straight. Let's just take off and get right over to the brook. Did it. You know, that was bad.

[Jeffrey]

We'll settle for. Anyway, we'll get your second date update and figure out where the turbulence was in this relationship. That's how it's done. Like a pro. Pay attention. Second date update. Next. Second date Update. You know, 99 of the time, your evening would be completely ruined if your plane was held up for over four hours.

[Brooke]

That's a good point.

[Jose]

Totally. Maybe the whole trip.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. But for one of our listeners, Logan, that wasn't a flight delay. That was a flight delay.

[Brooke]

I feel like some airline is going to try to market that, and I'm going to hate you for it, because if a flight attendant comes up and.

[Jeffrey]

Says that Delta, you can have that.

[Jose]

That's fine.

[Jeffrey]

We're on a little bit of a da. Yeah, it's just a DA. We should trademark that. But no, Logan's smart. Logan got to spend all that extra time over at the airport bar with a hottie from his flight named Ellie, and the two of them were vibing. She was loving his airplane puns.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. And he kept him coming.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Even his jokes about being potentially illiterate.

[Brooke]

She ate it all up.

[Jeffrey]

It was magic happening. But once the plane boarded after that, she's been kind of hard to reach. Even harder to lock down a date with. Hopefully, though, she answers the phone here and we can actually get you another meetup. Logan, how you feeling, man?

[Logan]

I'm feeling like you guys are gonna bring me home like this chick. Now. Now, keep in mind, now, this is. This was not a regular girl. This is definite. Definitely a hot, hot girl.

[Brooke]

Okay, again, like.

[Jose]

Like a model.

[Jeffrey]

You mean.

[Brooke]

You mean to say she was beautiful and her personality really shined.

[Logan]

Bingo. Exactly.

[Jeffrey]

Good save.

[Logan]

The whole package. You know, like, you go on dating apps and you're. You kind of see the leftovers or whatever's there.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah. Got you.

[Jeffrey]

Logan, just let us do the talking here.

[Logan]

All right, Got it.

[Jeffrey]

We're gonna dial her number right now. We'll try and get a second date update. Here we go.

[Ellie]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Ellie?

[Ellie]

It is. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Ellie. What's up? You get a lot of calls from morning radio shows?

[Ellie]

No. Oh, my gosh. Are you guys really. Are you really telling the truth? Are you really a radio show? Morning show?

[Jeffrey]

Yes, we are.

[Brooke]

Is that exciting to you?

[Ellie]

Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

[Brooke]

This is gonna be easy.

[Jeffrey]

Got some good news. Cause I'm reaching out to you specifically. Cause we've been talking actually about you all morning long.

[Ellie]

Is it good? I hope it's good. Like, why would you be talking about me?

[Brooke]

Really good.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah. We have somebody who's been gushing about you a little bit on our show.

[Ellie]

Who? Like. Okay, first of all, is it like one of those shows, like the dating show thingy? Because I love those so much.

[Jeffrey]

It is.

[Jose]

Oh, it's a dating thingy.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Ellie]

No. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Hey, who's been talking about.

[Jeffrey]

You're a lot of energy and that's a good thing.

[Brooke]

It's surprising to me. I'm so excited when we call you.

[Jeffrey]

Went out with somebody recently. You know how these date y thingy segments work and they had a good time. You probably know who I'm referring to.

[Ellie]

Are you guys talking about Mike? Because, yeah, he did go out.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Mike. Yeah. Well, that's who.

[Brooke]

Huh? Huh? What are you doing?

[Jeffrey]

Hold on. Give me a second. Mike said some really great stuff about you. Yeah, he mentioned you being very pretty.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Ellie]

Oh, that's so nice.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Brooke, what else did Mike say?

[Brooke]

Mike?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Brooke, our listener. Yes, Mike.

[Brooke]

Okay. He said you had a sparkling personality. Sparkling.

[Jeffrey]

Yes. Thank you.

[Ellie]

He said that about me? No, I'm so great.

[Jose]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, of course he did. I sensed the vibes happening even before we called you.

[Brooke]

Honestly, how is that even possible?

[Jeffrey]

I just had a sixth or seventh sense about this.

[Brooke]

Whatever.

[Jeffrey]

So many senses that I'm having.

[Brooke]

Why are we being so weird?

[Jeffrey]

Well, I'm just. Let's. Maybe we should pivot here and ask you, Ellie. What. What did you think about Mike? Like what. What stood out to you?

[Ellie]

You know how, like, you have, like, this vision of a guy that you want to take home to your parents.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, absolutely.

[Ellie]

Guy that you kind of just talk to your girlfriends without an elementary school of, like, the guy that I want to marry. This is like him. He was amazing. He was so funny, you guys.

[Jose]

He wasn't that great, was he?

[Brooke]

Marriage.

[Ellie]

Yeah, he was great. No, he was really great. And he was like. He was Tall and he was charming.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. I mean, we don't. We don't have to go. We don't have to gush too much about Mike. I mean, we all. Don't get me wrong, we all love Mike. Who doesn't?

[Ellie]

And the fact that he is asking about me makes it even. Like it made my day.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Because, I mean, he wasn't hitting you.

[Jose]

Up and now he is.

[Jeffrey]

Right. Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm just. Just based on your. Your sparkling personality and just talking to you a little bit. You sound like you're a really fun time guessing. You probably get hit on a lot.

[Ellie]

You know, it sounds so, like, conceited to say. Yes, I do. But yes, I do.

[Brooke]

It's okay. You can own that. That's fine.

[Jose]

It probably happens on the phone.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, with girls like that. It probably happens too. Like random places like when you're at the dry cleaners or like, you know, during a delay at the airport even.

[Jose]

Oh, yeah, that's a good example.

[Ellie]

No, no, get this, get this. Get, get, get this. Okay, so the other day, I'm flying out of the airport and like, the flight was delayed, like some stupid, like four.

[Jeffrey]

Really?

[Ellie]

Yeah, it was horrible. And this guy, like sitting next to me, he's like, starts talking to me and he's making the stupidest jokes ever. He was so dumb.

[Brooke]

And then.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Ellie]

And then he's like, hey, do you want to go to the bar and get some drinks? I'm like, crap, I've got four hours to kill. Why not? So, yeah, we talked and whatever, and I just. But you know what? He paid for the, you know, drinks, which was really nice, actually.

[Brooke]

Very nice.

[Jose]

That is overwhelmingly.

[Brooke]

I bet that guy was pretty funny though, don't you think? He was Kind of funny.

[Ellie]

I think he thought he was funnier than he actually was. But he paid for the check and he didn't even tip. I mean, he was a bad chipper.

[Brooke]

Oh, he didn't tip. Okay, that does not look good.

[Ellie]

Yeah, no, no, no, no.

[Jose]

Mike actually sounds great.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Ellie]

So wait, like, is he on the phone right now? Is Mike on the phone?

[Peter Tilden]

Well.

[Jeffrey]

Someone is on the phone.

[Brooke]

This is a bad idea.

[Ellie]

Yeah. You guys, I'm really confused. What is happening?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, so actually, the guy that you were referring to from the airport, the.

[Ellie]

One with the bad jokes. Yes.

[Brooke]

Okay, we don't need to do that.

[Jeffrey]

So he's actually the one that called us to get a second date update with you.

[Ellie]

No.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Logan is his name. He's on the other line listening right now. Logan.

[Logan]

Yeah. No, that was a lot. That was more than what I expected to hear, that's for sure.

[Jeffrey]

No, he's on the phone.

[Ellie]

That's not fair.

[Logan]

Yeah, no, I'm here. Like, you can talk directly to me, actually. Hi. So I'm not a tipper. I actually left cash. I didn't tip on my credit card. I left cash because I said the polite thing to do. And I bought Ellie three drinks. One of them was a double. And I also provided fries with extra sauces that also cost extra money.

[Jose]

I think she remembers.

[Brooke]

I know he's just trying to save his own ego here. I feel. I think, that he should get that opportunity.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but, Logan, we don't need a breakdown of the bill at dinner.

[Logan]

It's just funny to me that she was laughing so heartily and then mocks me later, but at the time when she's getting free drinks, I'm the most hilarious guy in the world.

[Jose]

Oh, yeah, Girls do that.

[Brooke]

I mean, we're surprised. Puns weren't funny. Just asking, actually.

[Ellie]

Yeah, you know, actually they weren't funny, but, you know, you kept buying me drinks.

[Logan]

I said. I said, it's a real. It's a real plane in the neck with these. With these airlines. That's legit funny.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we heard that one already.

[Brooke]

I think it's fine we laughed. Ellie has a different sense of humor. I mean, maybe that doesn't match well, most hot girls.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, she's seems to be more on to Mike's type of sense of humor.

[Logan]

Can we stop talking about Mike for a second?

[Ellie]

We talked about Mike for a second. I'm so sorry, Logan.

[Brooke]

No, I honestly thought that maybe I forgot Logan's name. And his name was Mike when you started talking about him, like, that's what I was hoping. Remember? I just. I wanted Logan to be Mike. For you and for Logan. Both of you. For both of you.

[Logan]

So hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm gathering that everybody on this phone call is interested in Mike, but nobody's interested in me? Is that.

[Jose]

No, bro, get.

[Brooke]

I'm.

[Jose]

I'm Team Logan. Get you a Logan. Ladies.

[Logan]

Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

I'm kind of coming over to Mike's.

[Brooke]

Side all of a sudden. Charming. It's the puns.

[Jeffrey]

No, no, no. It's Logan. Logan. Logan is the guy that's on the phone, and he's the one that we'd like to send you out on another date with. And we'll pay for that date and we'll throw in a generous tip on top of it.

[Brooke]

Hey, hey. And think about it. He really did tip. He didn't. He tried to be funny, which is meaning he put effort forth. I think he deserves another shot.

[Jose]

I'm with Brooke.

[Ellie]

You know what? He was nice enough us at the bar, but you know what happens when you drink. You have a rose colored glasses on. I think that's what was happening.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Insult to injury.

[Jeffrey]

I guess the silver lining is we've learned there is a person out there for everyone. And that person for everyone is Mike. We love you, Mike. Call into the show. We want to meet you.

[Logan]

Crash and burn. I got it.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

You know, we never asked, but I'm just assuming Ellie hooked up with Mike.

[Brooke]

Oh, you think that they hooked up?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I mean, just from the sound of her voice, like she was glowing over the phone, like smiling just at the thought of his face and laughing just at the thought of his jokes.

[Jose]

Vibe was like, I never thought I'd hear from him again.

[Brooke]

I think it was a one night stand. Why? Why would Mike need us? Yeah, didn't Ellie ever stop and think about that? But Jeffrey, I can't believe you went along with it. I thought I was going crazy for a second.

[Jeffrey]

I'm like, I was like, I mean, we should figure out who this guy is rather than just correcting her and being like, no, no, no, not him.

[Jose]

Yeah, but the more she said about Mike, the more the worse Logan must have been feeling.

[Brooke]

Added the story about Logan.

[Jose]

Oh yeah, that was the cringe part.

[Brooke]

I don't think he's ever going to listen to this on podcast.

[Jeffrey]

I want to turn it into a positive. And maybe what we really should have done is we should have asked her if she wants us to call Mike for her for a second date update.

[Jose]

We should.

[Jeffrey]

I know that'd be a little bit weird, but maybe we accidentally ran into a second date sitch.

[Brooke]

I feel like it's backstabbing to Logan, but I mean, I'm here for it.

[Jose]

You know, how ironic if Mike's like, she's just not funny.

[Brooke]

Yeah. You know, well, she wasn't.

[Jeffrey]

I feel like it's our duty though to reach back out to Ellie and say, look, if Mike doesn't call you in the next 24 hours, have us reach out to him for you. Cuz she was a listener too. And we're desperately in need of content.

[Brooke]

We have loyalty to no one.
