The Burch show we have all been here before. You have a great first date, you spend six or seven hours on it and you're just waiting for the second date, waiting for the phone to ring so you can set up that second date and it just doesn't happen. Well, when that happens to one of the Burch show listeners, what they do is they call us up and we call the guy on the air and ask them why there's been no second date. We call that second date update. Anna, give me your circumstance. What happened?

Anna (1:55)

I went to a Braves game. So I'm looking around and I finally start talking to this guy named Mark and you know he's pretty hot looking and he seems like a really nice guy. And we talked for quite a while and he gave me his phone number. So, you know, I waited a few days and I guess about a week later I just called him up to say hi. And, you know, we talked for quite some time. And at that point he went again. You know, he went and, and asked me out.
