Purchased the Birch show they had a great first date. She could not wait for the second day. She'd been waiting by the phone. Phone never rings, so she calls them live during the show. Find out why there's been no second date. We call it second date update.

[Robin]

Okay, I went to the Velvet Room about two Saturdays ago with my girlfriends and while we were waiting online, I met this guy and he was just so cool. He was there with his friends and we just waited online and talked and talked and we got into the room and, you know, talked and talked for hours for, like, five hours.

[Radio Host 2]

What's his name?

[Radio Host 1]

Yeah.

[Robin]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 1]

What's his name? Jerry.

[Radio Host 2]

Jerry.

[Robin]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 2]

Okay.

[Robin]

And we just hit it off so well, and we wound up at the Waffle House for breakfast, and we talked for a couple more hours. So finally, finally, it was getting close to, like, six in the morning, and he drove me back to my car. It was still parked in Midtown. And we spoke for another half an hour sitting in his car. And it was just. This guy was so great. I just really, really liked him, and we really connected.

[Radio Host 2]

So for like, five or six hours, you have, like, a big time connection, great chemistry with this guy.

[Radio Host 1]

He.

[Radio Host 2]

Even after the Waffle House, when you're starting to sober up.

[Robin]

Yeah. Still in the light, he still looked good.

[Radio Host 2]

If you can look good under Waffle House light, then you can look good under any light, Right? It's true.

[Robin]

Anyway, I gave him my email address, my phone number. He has all my information, and I still haven't heard from him.

[Radio Host 2]

And he obviously gave you all of his information also, but you haven't called him?

[Robin]

No, no, he didn't give me Any of them. Any of his stuff. He said that he would email me or phone me and give me his information then.

[Radio Host 2]

So did you give Jeff just enough pieces to where we could get in touch with this guy?

[Robin]

Jeff said that he could find him.

[Radio Host 2]

Okay. So here you got six hours spending with this guy, Velvet Room, Midtown, Waffle House, and you have no reason to believe that there's a good reason why he hasn't called you yet for a second date?

[Robin]

I can't imagine why.

[Radio Host 2]

How'd the date end? That's always a fun question, because that kind of gives us an indication anyway.

[Robin]

Yeah, we kind of kissed.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah. How did it all end? Did he say, I'll call you?

[Robin]

He said, make sure you write down your email address and your phone number.

[Radio Host 2]

Okay. The guesses are starting to come in now. Hey, Aaron.

[Scott Hanson]

Yeah? You think, you know, he ain't calling back? I think he got a wife or he got a girlfriend. Because obviously, if he ain't giving her any of his information because he don't want her calling his house.

[Radio Host 2]

Any indication there during the date, Robin, that he might be married or have a serious girlfriend?

[Robin]

Not at all.

[Radio Host 2]

Not at all. Nothing? All right. You want to get them on their own? Sure. All right, you got him. Mm. Hey, Jerry.

[Scott Hanson]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 2]

[Scott Hanson]

Yeah, I was going to give you a call. I mean, I was just waiting.

[Radio Host 2]

You know, it's been a couple of weeks, and she was just kind of wondering.

[Robin]

Yeah, what are you waiting for?

[Radio Host 2]

I thought there's a. What, a 48 hour rule?

[Scott Hanson]

Not a.

[Radio Host 2]

However long two weeks is. Yeah. If you could just speak up a little bit more for us, Jerry.

[Scott Hanson]

Okay. I was. I. I was just taking my time, you know, I was just waiting, making you want me more. Okay.

[Radio Host 1]

All right, Jerry.

[Radio Host 2]

What's the real reason? Come on.

[Scott Hanson]

I'm telling you. No, it was great. I had a great time. You're a great girl. I was just.

[Radio Host 2]

You waited two weeks?

[Radio Host 1]

Are you sleeping with anyone else?

[Scott Hanson]

No.

[Radio Host 1]

Okay.

[Radio Host 2]

Here's what I'm wondering here, Jerry.

[Scott Hanson]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 2]

Is that if things went so great on the date and you were just as excited to see Robin as Robin was to see you, why hold out two weeks?

[Scott Hanson]

Yeah, well, you know, I. I don't. I don't know. It's just, you know, taking my time. But, you know, Robin, I'm gonna call you later. I don't want to do this on the radio.

[Radio Host 2]

Oh, come on. You can't do that. Oh. Oh. Hello, Jerry.

[Robin]

I don't believe this. I.

[Radio Host 2]

No, no, he's. I think he's with somebody. Hey, Aaron, you're on Q100.

[Scott Hanson]

Hey, how you doing? I told you guys it was another girl somewhere in his life. Because there's no way a guy that got a good connection with a girl like that ain't gonna give up his number or call her right back.

[Radio Host 2]

See, I don't think that it's even a question of. He's got a girl somewhere in his life. I think she. He had a girl somewhere right next to him.

[Scott Hanson]

Yep.

[Radio Host 1]

Yeah.

[Scott Hanson]

Yep.

[Radio Host 3]

Right in the bed.

[Scott Hanson]

That's why he started whispering.

[Radio Host 2]

Sure sounded like it, didn't it? Yeah. Robin. And this guy hasn't called you back in two weeks? Good morning, Q100.

[Robin]

Hi. I just had a. Say something to Robin.

[Radio Host 2]

Go ahead.

[Robin]

Totally get him out of your mind. Don't think about him again.

[Radio Host 2]

Write him off.

[Robin]

He so has a girlfriend.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah, well, now we have his phone number. So, Robin, if you ever wanted to call, you know, middle of the night, just check in. Yeah, we gotta help you out.

[Scott Hanson]

He's got him all.

[Robin]

I mean, don't even waste the time.

[Scott Hanson]

He's so sneaky. So not worth it.

[Radio Host 2]

Hey, Robin.

[Robin]

Yes?

[Radio Host 2]

Let this guy go. Okay.

[Robin]

I have one question, though.

[Radio Host 1]

Yeah, sure.

[Robin]

What's up with his friends? Why were they so okay about him hanging out with me if he's got a girlfriend at home?

[Radio Host 2]

Wingman guys. They're wingman because they're men. They're just being wingman.

[Radio Host 1]

They never call out one of their buddies.

[Scott Hanson]

Hey, want to do something fun?

[Radio Host 2]

What?

[Scott Hanson]

Let's call him back.

[Radio Host 2]

Jeff's got some of his sleeve.

[Scott Hanson]

It'll only take a second.

[Radio Host 1]

Let's just do it.

[Radio Host 2]

Try you smiling.

[Scott Hanson]

It'll only take a second. Can we call him?

[Radio Host 2]

Sure.

[Radio Host 1]

It's so hard to meet people at bars. Cuz when you do, it feels like they're the hookup.

[Radio Host 2]

This is the same number you used before, huh?

[Scott Hanson]

Don't call me again.

[Radio Host 2]

Oh, so I guess that answers that question. What was that about?

[Scott Hanson]

I don't know.

[Radio Host 2]

Well, how. How did that happen? Like what?

[Scott Hanson]

Cuz I called back after we talked to him to see if he would go back on the air with us, and she. She. She answered. So I started talking to her, and she didn't want to talk.

[Radio Host 2]

So she was calling you a. I don't know.

[Radio Host 1]

I guess because she realized that he.

[Radio Host 2]

Was talking to another woman on the air.

[Radio Host 1]

Oh, man. So, Robin, I guess that answers the question.

[Robin]

I think Jerry is not a single man.

[Radio Host 2]

All right, I think you pretty much got your answer right. Let's just cut our license here.

[Radio Host 1]

All right.

[Radio Host 2]

Robin, you pretty much got your answer, right?

[Radio Host 3]

Yep.

[Radio Host 2]

All right, we'll talk to you later.

[Robin]

Okay, thanks.
