[Kat]

Even though we already have one in our midst, I'm told we are not allowed to say the famous words, tell me a joke, funny guy.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, that's never fun.

[Kat]

Cuz on the phone we've got a stand up comedian.

[Darren]

Hey. Oh, I like Dan's jester.

[Kat]

You don't say that to all the standup comics that you meet.

[Jeffrey]

I' never uttered that sentence in my life. Tell me a joke, funny guy.

[Kat]

Yeah, tell me a joke, funny guy.

[Darren]

So he's like, you're a comedian, tell me a joke. I'm like, if you tell me you work at Subway, I'm not gonna be like, make me a sandwich.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I don't know how it works.

[Kat]

But let's ask the actual stand up comic who's on the phone right now to get a little bit of help. His name is Darren. Darren, welcome to the show.

[Darren]

Hey, how's it going?

[Jeffrey]

Hey.

[Kat]

Hey.

[Jeffrey]

You're hilarious.

[Darren]

Did you like that one? That was my opening.

[Kat]

Oh, that was good.

[Jeffrey]

I liked it. I liked it a lot.

[Kat]

Now, Darren, how long have you been doing the standup comedy thing? What? What's your goals?

[Darren]

I've been doing stand up comedy for about 10 years now and my goal is just to make people laugh. I like to let people just escape from their reality for a little while.

[Kat]

You know, it's the opposite of our show. We like to bring people right back down to reality.

[Darren]

Like minded, brother. Good luck out there, man. You're actually probably doing better than me. What am I saying?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, who are we calling today?

[Kat]

Yeah, you met a girl recently?

[Darren]

Yeah, I actually met her at a stand up show.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, shocking.

[Kat]

Oh, wow.

[Jeffrey]

There's always girls hanging out at the end of every comedy show waiting to meet the comedian. Right, because there's nothing sexier than a guy or a person that can make you laugh.

[Darren]

Was she a groupie, bro? I mean, a lot of these girls are kind of on the sleazy side. This is a classy girl though. So she was a rare breed.

[Kat]

Oh, wow. What's this classy girl's name?

[Darren]

Aaron.

[Kat]

Okay, and so Darren and Aaron. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's funny. Think about that.

[Kat]

That makes your celebrity nickname really easy then.

[Darren]

It's Darren.

[Kat]

Yeah, it's Darren. That's great.

[Jeffrey]

So what was it like? Did you strike up conversation first or did she approach you?

[Darren]

Yeah, I Had seen her around at a few different shows, but I hadn't really talked to her. And she saw me do my act and she came up to me and told me I was funny. And that was the first time I actually asked her out. But at that point, she told me she doesn't date comics.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's a smart, smart choice.

[Darren]

It is a smart choice.

[Kat]

How did you respond to that?

[Darren]

Well, I told her that's fine because I work construction.

[Kat]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

That was good. She laughed for sure.

[Darren]

Yeah. She thought that was funny. And so I finally. I get her to want to go out with me, and I don't want to take her to a bar, though, you know, I want to take her somewhere nice. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Kat]

Okay.

[Darren]

Because that's almost like just taking her to another comedy club. Comedy clubs are just huge buyers.

[Erin]

I think a bar first date is.

[Brooke]

Great, but, you know, but it feels like.

[Kat]

Yeah, it's like taking. It's like taking them to work.

[Darren]

Yeah.

[Kat]

You don't want to go to your own workplace.

[Darren]

You said somewhere nice. What'd you do? So I booked this city bus tour. Just like, goes around the city.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Erin]

Oh, like the red buses, the two story.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Or they have the ones that can go in the water. The duck one.

[Kat]

Darren, no offense. I thought you were saying that you were classing it up, and city bus tour doesn't come to mind when I.

[Erin]

Think it's got an up upper deck.

[Kat]

Oh, it's a British bus.

[Darren]

This is a classy bus. This is a very classy. Okay, that's a double.

[Jeffrey]

That's what I'm imagining. Why do I feel like one of your comedian friends is the tour guide?

[Darren]

Yeah, he keeps pulling the cord. I didn't even know who was doing the jokes. It was just like some guy doing all kinds of corny stuff and unimpressed.

[Jeffrey]

That's kind of a funny date. Like, you get to see the whole city. You know, a lot of time to talk and things to talk about.

[Kat]

How was it? How did it go?

[Darren]

It went good. It was going good at first. You know, we're going to all these cool places. We're seeing all these different sites.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Darren]

But then I thought it would be funny to get off the bus right before it left for the next stop.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, what?

[Darren]

What?

[Kat]

Wait, wait.

[Jeffrey]

With her? You mean like, oh, we're going to get off the bus and go get a drink?

[Darren]

No, she was still on the bus.

[Kat]

Oh, brother.

[Jeffrey]

Were you laughing as the bus pulled away with her when she said she.

[Erin]

Doesn'T want to date a comic this is one of the reasons why.

[Darren]

Yeah, that's true. You think you're funny and you're not being funny. No, it looks kind of funny when I pretended to run after it.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God. What did her face look like?

[Darren]

What is pretending?

[Kat]

Probably getting smaller.

[Jeffrey]

Imagining it.

[Darren]

She was definitely surprised and she had to wait for me, like, at the next stop. And she wasn't thrilled about that.

[Jeffrey]

Did you tell her it was a joke or did you say, oh, my God?

[Darren]

No, I did tell her it was a joke. I thought it was funny, but I ended up having to apologize. I felt bad.

[Kat]

She didn't laugh.

[Darren]

No, she did not think it was funny at all.

[Jeffrey]

So funny.

[Kat]

Usually when you explain the joke afterwards, they really burst into laughter.

[Darren]

Let's just mention the thought of this gave her the ick. Do you think you gave her.

[Jeffrey]

No, not that.

[Erin]

Watching a man chase a bus.

[Darren]

Exactly. I gave her the ick.

[Kat]

Bro, are you gross runner?

[Jeffrey]

That is so specific.

[Darren]

Yeah, I don't know if that did it, but I don't usually run, so it could have popped.

[Brooke]

You could be like a funny runner.

[Darren]

I've seen some dudes that. I'm like, why are you flailing? Feeling like that.

[Kat]

Yeah. Maybe the unattractive running the thing.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Darren]

That's specific to Alexis thing, though I.

[Jeffrey]

Imagine being a runner since it was a hop on, hop off bus. Did you. Were you able to get it back on track, like go take her finally to dinner or a drink?

[Darren]

No, not really. We didn't end up doing anything afterwards. Oh, did that ruin the vibe? I was kind of thinking maybe we should have just gone to a bar.

[Brooke]

It's a good idea.

[Kat]

It's your home. It's your safe place.

[Darren]

And also, you're like, at least a second date. I'll do that.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Kat]

Okay.

[Darren]

But here we are. Huh?

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Kat]

So that was how it ended.

[Darren]

Yeah. I mean, I liked her. She was nice. She was very smart. She was not like a lot of the other girls in the comedy scene. So.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Kat]

How long has it been since you and Aaron hung out?

[Darren]

It's been like three weeks now.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Darren]

Yeah. She's not into you.

[Jeffrey]

Have you heard from her at all or seen her at the club? Because it sounds like she was going to the comedy club on the tour.

[Darren]

She hasn't been around lately, so I haven't seen her.

[Kat]

Oh, God.

[Jeffrey]

All right.

[Kat]

Scared her right out of the entire comedy scene.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Darren]

Oh, boy.

[Jeffrey]

She used to love to laugh.

[Tim Allen]

Yeah.

[Kat]

Just crying, watching horror movies. Well, maybe we can cheer her up and hopefully get her to Agree to another date with you when we come back and do your second date update right after this second date update. Quick recap. If you're just joining us, we got Darren on the phone who's a stand up comedian and convinced a girl at one of his shows to go out on a date with him.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Kat]

Even though she said she doesn't date.

[Jeffrey]

Sleazy comics, she didn't say sleazy.

[Kat]

Well, that's implied. So Darren took her on a classy date on a public bus tour.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Kat]

Where they learned about museums and landmarks and bridges, all the sexy stuff.

[Jeffrey]

Technically, it's a private company that runs those. Jeff.

[Kat]

Oh.

[Darren]

Oh, the tours.

[Kat]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Just so you know.

[Kat]

Thank you for that footprint.

[Darren]

It was a city bus. It was a bus in the city.

[Kat]

Gotcha. Excuse me. But yeah, it was a hop on, hop off bus. So he thought it'd be funny to hop off without her. And now weeks later, he's still trying to recover and get himself another date. I mean, that's where we're at.

[Jeffrey]

If people missed the first part. He did meet back up with her that night.

[Darren]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

It's not like that was the last time he saw her.

[Kat]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

How are you feeling about that whole revisit of your date there, Darren? Darren?

[Darren]

Oh, sorry. What's that?

[Jeffrey]

How are you feeling about that revisit of your date there, Darren?

[Darren]

You know, I thought it was okay. I mean, the part where I got off the bus obviously wasn't the best idea, but overall I didn't think it was that okay. Bro, listen, obviously you're a top tier comedian. The bus thing is hilarious. If this girl doesn't have a good sense of humor, do you really want to date her anyways, bro? That's true. That's a good point. I got your back. I got you.

[Erin]

This might be the problem with the mindset of comedians.

[Kat]

I think we're watching a movie and Will Ferrell is going to be chasing after like a city bus one day. We're all going to be like, o Darren. Darren called this.

[Darren]

Oh my God, the new Kevin Hart movie City bus tour. I love that movie.

[Jeffrey]

When we think heartthrob, we think Will Ferrell. Yeah, right.

[Darren]

That's a good point.

[Kat]

I don't know.

[Brooke]

Us goddess.

[Darren]

We're not hot. We're just fine.

[Kat]

Let's just talk to your date, Aaron. We'll see if she answers and hopefully get an explanation for why she hasn't talked to you in three weeks.

[Darren]

Oh, man.

[Brooke]

It's a long time.

[Darren]

Good luck.

[Brooke]

Hey, good. Thanks. Good luck.

[Kat]

To you too, man.

[Jeffrey]

You guys, it's break a leg. Break.

[Darren]

They say break a leg because you hope to get cast.

[Kat]

It's an acting thing, not a stand up comedy thing.

[Jeffrey]

Stage thing.

[Darren]

It could be a stage.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Darren]

If he's auditioning for snl, then it's break a leg.

[Kat]

All right, well, we're gonna break a body part, and we're gonna call her in here.

[Brooke]

Here we go. We're gonna be politically correct.

[Darren]

Hello?

[Kat]

Hey, is this Erin?

[Tim Allen]

This is she.

[Kat]

Hey, Erin, you're on the radio right now with a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Jeffrey]

Hi, Erin.

[Darren]

Good morning, Aaron.

[Jeffrey]

Welcome to the show.

[Tim Allen]

What's. What's going on?

[Kat]

We're doing a segment called a second date update. It's a very unfunny segment that we do because we heard you're not really into laughing and stuff a lot, but we're trying to help hook you up with. That's what she said earlier.

[Tim Allen]

Wait, what?

[Darren]

What?

[Jeffrey]

You love laughing. You go to lots of comedy shows.

[Kat]

But you don't date people that make you laugh.

[Darren]

Yeah.

[Tim Allen]

How did you guys get my number?

[Kat]

We got it from Darren, who you went on a date with about three weeks ago.

[Darren]

Darren the comedian?

[Tim Allen]

My God.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Tim Allen]

Okay.

[Kat]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Was that like, oh, my God? No.

[Darren]

Didn't sound like it.

[Tim Allen]

I just. That's kind of wild that he would give my number to a radio station, don't you think?

[Jeffrey]

Well, not really, because we do this segment, like, three times a week.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Tim Allen]

Yeah.

[Kat]

This has been going on for decades at this point. But the reason that he gave us your number is because he had a really nice time with you when the two of you went out on that bus tour.

[Jeffrey]

Oh. And he said nice things about, like, how classy you were and smart and.

[Tim Allen]

It sounds like he's probably told you a lot already. I don't. I don't know exactly how much he shared with you about our first date.

[Kat]

Just hit the highlights. It was a city bus tour. There was an awkward moment that we kind of mentioned before about him, like, hopping on and off the bus as, like, a joke.

[Jeffrey]

And as you drove away, still on the bus, he thought that'd be funny. And he said that you didn't find that very humorous?

[Tim Allen]

Yeah. Okay, good. So he did tell you that. I mean, like, I like to laugh and everything, but just imagine being in my shoes watching your date, kind of like sort of not pointing and laughing, but like being outside of a bus watching you. I mean, I was horrified. Like, I. We drove together, so I was like, Am I going to now be stuck alone at his car when I get back to it?

[Jeffrey]

You're in, like, panic mode.

[Darren]

It's not funny to you.

[Tim Allen]

No, we. And we definitely don't have that much history to even be kind of pulling those types of.

[Kat]

Yeah, good point.

[Jeffrey]

But he did say that he apologized that night.

[Tim Allen]

I mean, he did. He definitely did. And he caught up with me, so it ended up being fine. And, like, I don't want to, like, hurt anybody's feelings. I just. I think the best way to say it is, like, we just don't really.

[Jeffrey]

Vibe comedians don't have feelings. Yeah, fine.

[Darren]

Anyway. So what are you going to do?

[Kat]

Look, I understand that sentiment. That's really nice of you to, like, keep his feelings in mind, but he's really confused. He's hoping to get a little bit of insight as to why you've, you know, not talked to him in the last three weeks so that maybe he could find some closure.

[Tim Allen]

All right, well, since he decided to call you guys and ask for it, I mean, I'll tell you. But honestly, I think he's funnier on stage than he is in person. And that's. It's only, like, on stage when it's scripted and they've had time to rehearse this bit, that they're, like, funny. And maybe I just didn't get to see that side of him. So I don't want to say, like, he's not a funny person. I'll just say he's not my kind of comedy.

[Darren]

That's a great observation. Most people think comedians walk on stage and guess, you know, it's like these guys have practiced their jokes for months sometimes to deliver.

[Jeffrey]

It's still not fun to hear as a comedian, you know, to hear you're not funny, you know, sucks.

[Kat]

Yeah, he knows, and.

[Darren]

Oh, actually, he does know.

[Kat]

Yeah, he. He kind of does know that. Because the way that the segment works, Aaron, is we have Darren listening on the other line.

[Tim Allen]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I bet he's just laughing and laughing right now.

[Erin]

He's already writing a new set with this for Fuel.

[Kat]

Bro, is that Darren, are you there? You're cracking up.

[Darren]

Yeah, sorry. So what. What happened?

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Dan]

Wait, what?

[Kat]

Were you listening?

[Jeffrey]

You didn't hear her?

[Darren]

Yeah, I was busy. I was doing something around the house. You guys are taking forever.

[Kat]

Okay, it's kind of important. The whole reason you called us was so that you could hear her explanation.

[Jeffrey]

But is this another ADD comedian? Because you already have one of those.

[Kat]

Listen, Darren, talk to Aaron.

[Tim Allen]

Hey, Darren, it sounds like, maybe you didn't hear any of that, so that's probably for the best.

[Darren]

But, yeah, I was just wondering, like, you know, what happened. Oh, God. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

We've gone over this already.

[Darren]

All right. That's a good question. It's a very important question.

[Kat]

Maybe if you tell the story a few more times, it'll sink in for him.

[Jeffrey]

But.

[Kat]

Go ahead, Erin.

[Tim Allen]

Darren, when you hopped off of the bus, the tour operator really put me at ease, like, both with jokes, and he was also just really, really nice. And I think it's probably. It's probably fair for me to tell you that he asked for my phone number.

[Darren]

Oh, my God, the tour guide. Good on him.

[Tim Allen]

Yeah, I just thought he was so funny and, like, oh, God. We have been out a couple of times, and I just don't quite feel right talking to anybody else.

[Darren]

Same tour guide, right? This is the tour guide from the bus with the pretzel jokes and the kazoo. Yeah, those are kind of corny tours.

[Kat]

I'm kind of laughing just thinking about it. I haven't even heard what he says.

[Darren]

That's your kind of comedy. That's. He's not even a real comedian. I'm out there every day. Day. Grinding, honing my craft. This guy is a half. Are you kidding me?

[Tim Allen]

Wait, well, Darren, Darren, while you're honing your craft, working in a quiet room, he's out there actually performing every day.

[Darren]

That's an observation.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, it's a lot of crowd.

[Darren]

Work doing observational humor for people on the sidewalk. Museum jokes.

[Tim Allen]

Do you know how hard it is to make history funny?

[Brooke]

And he does it.

[Darren]

Dude, she's awesome. She's got his back, too.

[Jeffrey]

Does that hurt worse than her just not going out with you, Darren?

[Darren]

Well, I mean, she said she doesn't date comics. I guess she's sticking with that. This guy is definitely not.

[Kat]

All right. He got a good one in there. Look, Darren, this is the point where normally I'd ask to send you two out on a date and we'd offer to pay for it, but I think before I do that. Now that you've heard. Yeah, well, I guess kind of heard you missed most of it, but now that you know that the girl that you dated is hooking up with the corny tour tour guide from the bus.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Kat]

Do you still want us to ask her out for you?

[Darren]

Anybody who's into tour guide humor, I'm gonna have to probably pass on.

[Jeffrey]

Really? I wanted, like, a joke off between the two of us, but she's already seen his Jokes.

[Erin]

And she clearly thinks this guy's better.

[Darren]

Oh, you know, if he doesn't have any jokes, how can we have a joke off?

[Kat]

Well, maybe. Darren, quick hop off the phone and then back on like he did on the. On the bus.

[Darren]

We'll stay here. That'd be hilarious. Okay, try it.

[Kat]

Are you gone?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, we really did help out. Well, I guess good luck, Aaron, with your new boyfriend.

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Tim Allen]

I'm devastated it didn't work out with Darren.

[Kat]

She's funny too.

[Tim Allen]

Not the only one with jokes.

[Kat]

Look at Jeffrey in the morning. Man, this was a big win for bus tour guides everywhere.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, yeah, good on him. I mean, dad humor is on top again.

[Kat]

Yeah. Male and female bus tour guides. You really are natural comedians. You're out there educating the public about mid century architecture and making people laugh and stealing our dates right out from under us. So we salute you. Good for you.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. You know, I'm impressed that you really defended Darren as long as you did, since he couldn't even follow the phone call to begin with.

[Darren]

Yeah, dude. I mean, got him a great shot. Yeah.

[Kat]

But at the same time, I can't blame him for tuning away from us. Yeah, I've been there before for sure. Mid conversation sometimes.

[Darren]

All right, Jeffrey, I'm not even listening right now.

[Jeffrey]

You're the one talking most of the time.

[Kat]

Yeah, and I hate it. So I'm going to stop talking and just encourage you to go online and find our podcast. You can find all of our second dates and all of our show content wherever you get yours at, Brooke and Jeffrey, and we will help you in your dating life.

[Jeffrey]

We'll try.

[Kat]

You know, we'll be here. I don't know how much help will be, but email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back.

[Jeffrey]
