We’re the type of show that will do whatever it takes for our listeners. Even if it means putting on awful British accents. We did it for a couple and today they are back for a Second Date Update UPDATE!
Second date, up date. Nothing worse than coming off of a first date knowing that you made.
A mistakes that feeling too well, you just brought up a bunch of memories from like last week.
Yeah, I was like, man, I never should have ordered the King Crab while I'm definitely allergic to shelfing. What was I thinking?
But it's impressive when you do it because it means you're bawling out.
I just keep stabbing myself in the neck with an EpiPen every five minutes. I can get through this.
And the mouth counts as a first kiss.
Turned on by one of our listeners wrote to the show saying he knows that he messed up, but he's hoping that his date didn't notice. The thing is, once I read what the mistake was, I mean, how could she not notice? Welcome to the show. What were you thinking?
Well, you know, I don't know what I was thinking. I thought if I if I just kind of brought in a little like added level of elevation.
That wait, real quick, real quick? What's her name?
Casey?
Okay, start at the beginning. Tell us what went wrong?
Yeah, Yeah, we talked a little bit on on dating app and we're like it's just taking at a local bar near my house, so.
It seems innocent enough, easy, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, And I thought it might be a good idea to talk in a light British accent for a little bit. Do you always hear the concept that men with accents or sex here?
And you know, couldn't she see on your dating bio that you weren't British. I guess they would if the British. I mean if I had a European I don't know. If I was British and I was on dating apps, it would be the first thing I would swipe right.
Have you around London?
Yeah?
To be fair, I don't think that you need to be British to use a British accent. I don't think women would care if you do a good enough one.
It could be a pretty bad fan talk to Britney Spears about how well that works out for her.
Maybe he has a great British accent. Can we get a sample of it?
Well, I quite fondly the pond.
That's just all right.
You really did it on the date, like from the very start, Well.
I was a lot more locked in the day of the date. I was practicing all day, even when I was like going to.
Like the gas station earlier, I was trying to be in character to make sure I had it down.
Okay, so we know why she's ghosting you.
What was her response when she first heard you talk like that?
Well, she asked if I was from there, and I said, I lived over there just for a couple of months, like studying abroad.
Wait, is that his lie? Or is that really true that you lived over there?
It was a lie, okay.
But that's not the point. Okay. I wanted to tell the story.
Okay, So you told her in a couple of months you developed an accent, that's.
Right, and then moved and forgot everything.
Do you ever go to Canada and then next thing you know, you're saying a after.
Everything, it's not the same.
Met you a very impressionable young man.
That's okay, Casey by it. That's what I want to know.
It felt like if she stuck around, she was into it. That's how I played it. So she was sticking around, we were still hanging.
Okay, did you ever reveal your real voice?
So about two drinks in, I started kind of letting it slip, my normal talking accent. But only in a few sentences here and.
There, and you're like Mel Gibson in Brave Heart, like a couple with an accent, a couple with an American accent.
Yeah, during the course of an hour and a half, I probably went in and out of the accent half a dozen times, but some of the word could go either way. So I kind of thought, as maybe she didn't notice certain parts of it.
Understand, what's the long play on this? Because if you actually like this girl and you want to go out with her again, you can't continue this your entire relationship.
Well, I figured I could slowly water it down until.
It was back to my normal accent, because the thought being I had been back in town long enough.
Yeah, you're reacclimating back into the American accident, start wearing like cut off shirts and like get really American with summer accent, spit and chew. Right, Okay, So how did you two leave it?
So we ended the day and it seemed fine, and then we just kind of went about our business.
So are you prepared to tell the truth when we call her next or are you wanting to keep up this farce?
I don't know, what do you guys think?
Bro, I think you have to look, this is a joke from the first ten minutes.
Then you tell her to wait the wait where a show from the BBC and we all call.
With a British accent.
You like it?
Yeah, let's practice it right now.
Sometimes there's Australia Ya has multiple networks, So we're really going to terrify this girl when we come back and scream at her in a bunch of different accents and try to get you a date, make some tea.
You're gonna do it with your second date update right after this sold on that second date update.
You're in the middle of a second date update update, and we're gonna find out how the couple is doing right after you here Part two.
This is the news intro from the actual BBC. I knew that, and I just I genuinely don't believe that we can actually pull this off. But it's actually more of a moral dilemma for us right now than it is for our listener, Mitch, who's asked us for a second date update because he faked a British accent during his first date to impress a girl.
He half faked it. Yeah, the American kept slipping out so clearly.
It didn't go very well for him, and that's why he's reached out to us for help. And now Brooke has suggested that we follow his lie and pretend to call the woman that he went out with named Casey, pretending to be from the news desk at the BBC in London.
That's right, Jeffrey.
We're here in job right and on the job. What do they call their job?
Sounds to America. We're in the office at the.
Bathroom.
I don't.
This might be a this might be a disaster. But I have thought long and hard about what to do here. And Mitch, are you still there?
I am still there?
Okay, So I think for better or for worse?
Oh, you think we need to tell the truth.
We should try the British accent for entertainment purposes. It's a pact that we're all making, and we all together, we all go down together, us full along with all good buddy Mitchell, No, not Mitch. Mitch is American.
Mitch is like a flat make that you've had since con.
We need to stop with the accent. So we're going to drive all of our listeners away on every content. We're willing to do this for you. We just have to be from some sort of British radio show and we're doing a segment called the second Date shack Off.
Let's do it.
I don't know why.
Jeffrey sounds like a male Mary Poppy.
I love it. Very formal, these Americans and their enthusiasm. I love it. Okay, let us give Casey a ring, shall we?
Yes?
Hello?
Hello? Is is this an American woman named.
Casey who's calling hello?
Apologies for disrupting your day. I'm Jonathan Clark from BBC Radio four. You're on our morning talk show here in London.
Hello.
Hello, I apologize. That's my co host. She is quite drunk this morning. Okay, I apologize. Kasey, are you there?
Yes, there's some kind of joke.
No, no, no, snow joke. We've we've phoned you today because we're delving into the raucous dating lives of cheeky Americans.
Those Americans you mean British men.
No, no, Americans. Quite a few Irish coffees this month time. So your name was actually given to us by one of our listeners, a former local bloke named Mitchell.
Okay, yeah, the two of you had a bit of a snug and a bob the other night an American tavern. I'm not sure what that means, but we had a date the other night.
Yeah, So our jobs this morning is we would like to pry if you don't mind, and ask you a bit about how it went.
Okay, hold on, so Mitch talked to you.
That's right.
Where are you speaking?
Yes, Mitch, Mitch spoke to us earlier. He said, you two had a wicked good time, may have got a bit knockered at the bar, and we all want to know is it factual or just a load of rubbish? She said it was quite lovely, though quite lovely.
Well, she was quite lovely.
We're trying to speak to our new American friend, Casey of it.
I love Americans, Casey, I do apologize.
No British people love Americans.
In your opinion, Casey, how did it go?
This is so weird.
I know this calls a bit random, but you were doing this a huge service if you could just speak to us for a tiny bit.
Well, I don't know what exactly you guys you're looking for, but I mean it was fine.
Okay, Well, at any point during the day was the acting a bit Dodgy.
Well, there was a point towards the beginning of the day that I was a little taken aback because I didn't know he had a British accent.
I must have been a pleasant surprise to you.
Then.
Well, to be honest, I wasn't really sure he was telling the truth. But it's all starting to make sense now, I guess because I'm talking to you all.
No, it's true. You're never allowed to lie on British radio, that is one of the rules.
But on American radio they lie all the time. Just lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, and maybe sometimes they should come clean.
Okay, Look, Casey, I understand sometimes first dates can be a bit tricky.
Yeah, definitely. Yeah.
You're trying to impress someone that you're meeting for the first time. So perhaps this was a situation going on with young Mitchell.
Right, how is he better in British?
The language just flows out to me. Here's the situation. The way that the segment works is we have the person that you went on a date with sitting on the other line, listening in on the conversation, and at the start of this call, we were not fully honest with you. So I do apologize for that, but he is there waiting to speak his piece. Mitchell, are you there?
Hello?
There? He is night in Shining alor.
Mitch, is that you?
It is?
It's me again, and this.
Is super strange. I mean, I'm not sure why you had to call England to well for second day.
He's a friend of our shows.
I'm very familiar with them. In my time there, I spent listening to the Malart and grew quite fond of them.
I mean, okay, I guess that makes sense. You wi a lot of trouble for me, so that's kind of cool.
Well you were.
I think of you as a quite proper fit bird, so I wanted to do whatever.
Remember, Mitch, this may be very hard to keep up, if you know what I'm saying.
Mitchell never shies away from a challenge.
Hum, no, I do not.
Well, Hell, I believe that what my drunken co host is referring to over there is it's quite difficult to go out in the modern world because of the prices of everything. Inflation has made paying for things just absolutely preposterous. And so we're going to take care of all the finances and offer to pay for your next meetup with Mitchell. Maybe some fish and chips and some mushy peas. Now you're making me hunger.
I'd love to cut a film with you as well. That's something I know we both share in common.
Tip to the cinema.
Why did you just sound like an American there?
Yes, well he does have American roots an issue.
What's to tell you that we're going over.
Kelly telephones? You know? Unfortunately I am staring out the window and I do see Big Ben off in the distance, and we are running out of time. The segment is nearly at a close. Casey, we need an answer from you definitively yes or no. Would you like to go out with Mitch once more?
But I don't know why everybody's laughing, and I feel like I could be missing the joke here. Yeah, I'd like to try it again.
It's to be a quite.
Proper fine night, and we're going to have an incredible evening together again.
No guy has ever got into such trouble to try to get me to go out on a second date with this, So I'm impressed.
Anything for a special lady like yourself.
All right, Mitch one, she piped down for just a bit. It's another success second date snow Golf. We'll here on BBC Radio full stay tuned as we recap old of the Beatles. Great, it's hits the Beatles. They're going out of oil here in Monday. It's brooking Jeffrey. Oh no, it's a Jonathan Clock. This is not.
Good, freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Well, there's proof that we could do a successful radio show in England if we wanted to BBC you have our number. But now it's time for us to get an update on Mitch and Casey's situation. And unfortunately Casey couldn't be with us on the call today. It's just going to be Mitch, Mitch, what's going on?
Hey, guys, how's it going?
What's going on with here in Casey?
So we are unfortunately not together anymore.
What I know I have to know, did you ever come clean?
So? I was able to keep it up for a pretty good amount of time, I'll be honest, really, but unfortunately I just was not able to keep it up. Honestly. The election really screwed everything up.
The election.
Yeah, because as soon as the election here kind of finished, she starts asking me all these questions about British politics.
Oh no, oh, what did you say?
I told her it's really all about what the queen, what Queen Elizabeth wants to do?
You actually said, Queen Elizabeth runs the show.
Yeah, and unfortunately she is dead.
Yeah, you didn't know that for a while.
Yeah, so did you just finally tell her I'm sorry, I've been lying to you.
At a certain point, we did finally get to it. I got to break from my fake accent and kind of mentioned here's actually what's going on. And I tried to wrap it up as could you even imagine a man trying so hard to keep you happy?
And she wasn't impressed by that.
That's yeah.
So it's just me, guys. So if you know anyone that's attracted to British.
Men, no, no, no, you got to start.
Yeah, you got to be an Australian guy. Next time they'll be able to hold on longer. I don't know, British.
Dude, I can tell a fake one from Thank you.
I'm sorry you aren't together, but keep us updated. If you need more help with your dating life, you can always reach out.
Okay, all right, thanks guys.
Only American you can reach out.
