Angie's Story:
Angie shares her first date with Nicholas, highlighting several unusual behaviors that left her confused and uncertain about his interest. Despite a seemingly pleasant evening at a Thai restaurant, Nicholas exhibited delayed responses during conversations and appeared distracted, often checking his phone.
Brooke: “She got something else at the end of her night. A two word whisper in her ear.”
The Whisper Incident:
At the end of the date, as they parted ways outside the restaurant, Nicholas whispered “good job” into Angie’s ear—a gesture that left her perplexed and unsure of his intentions.
Angie: “I don't like it.”
Brooke: “It could be something really nice and romantic.”
Lack of Follow-Up:
After the date, Angie attempted to text Nicholas, but he didn’t respond, leading her to seek answers through the podcast.
Angie: “I'm hoping that she could maybe get another chance to hang out with you again.”
3. Hosts Analyze the Situation (10:09 - 12:01)
Brooke and Jeffrey delve into potential reasons behind Nicholas’s unusual behavior. They speculate on whether Nicholas was genuinely interested or if external factors influenced his actions.

4. Live Call to Nicholas (12:01 - 20:04)
Connecting with Nicholas:
Brooke and Jeffrey successfully contact Nicholas live on air to get his side of the story.
Brooke: “You get to be a part of one. So the way that it works is one of our listeners has reached out to us, hoping that we could get a hold of you.”
Nicholas’s Revelation:
Nicholas admits that during the date, he was on a call with his ex-girlfriend, who was silently listening in. This arrangement was part of their “post breakup growth agreement,” where they support each other in moving on by observing each other's new relationships.
Nicholas: “I was on the line with my ex, and she was on the line with us the whole time.”
Impact on the Date:
This external influence led Nicholas to inadvertently whisper “good job” to his ex rather than to Angie, causing confusion and ultimately deterring Angie from pursuing a second date.
Brooke: “He was already breaking the rules a little bit for her. So the band aid starting to come.”
