Second Date Update: Unfit Run Club Snub

Published Jan 29, 2024, 4:10 PM

You never know what strange thing might bring you and a cute stranger together. Today’s Second Date call had over 100 people making the same instant connection. 

Second Date up Date. Our dating apps officially dead. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I mean, I've heard people complain about them a lot, like Brooke says she can't get hers to swipe.

Right fast enough, load speeds are.

Too slow, and Jose he'ps emailing the help desk asking if they can add in a bikini barista search features on Instagram. Yeah, clearly not everybody is thrilled with them. But apparently there's a new movement that's happening right now that I didn't know about. People are banding together to get off the apps all together and try something completely different, which is how today's caller Troy wound up meeting a young woman the other day. Let's learn about it. Troy, Welcome to the show.

Hey, guys, how you doing.

Whenever you say Jeffrey meeting a young woman, I either pictured this guy is going to be a grampa.

We need to check somebody's ID.

Like it's a weird you know I'm talking about relative to the people in this room, it's probably a pretty young. Tell us more about this wonderful young lady that you met. What's her name?

So the lady that I met is Melanie.

Okay, all right, I'm curious to see how you met her.

Yeah, what's this movement that you were kind of telling me about in the email.

It's so pretty interesting. To be honest, my friends told me about this no thing that people are doing. It's called unfit run clubs.

What is it against?

Say one more time?

Unfit run clubs?

Unfit run club I love it.

That's funny. Yeah.

So people who are like runners, like Alexus.

Exactly, but just get a reason to meet new people.

That's awesome.

They usually meet it like a bar.

I feel like, yeah, yeah, I've seen like the sofa of five K groups too.

You know.

Good for you.

So how did this work?

Yeah, it's so basically, you know, instead of trying to meet new people on dating apps, which has been stressful, they're starting to playing these big guests togethers.

Oh wait, it's.

Not just for running. This is actually to meet their singles as well.

The way it's supposed to be is we stopped, occasionally, we take some pictures, mingole, keep going, and then at the very end we all go to the bar.

Oh okay. It's nice because it's like a little more casual than like a speed dating event where you have two minutes to talk to everybody in the room and there's all this pressure. This is like mingle at your own pace.

But it's unfit, so it depends on how out of breath you are.

There's the one person who comes in an hour later than everybody else. But sure, I.

Mean there's big groups of people walking too when we do that. If you want to, you know, you're not a mandatory if you'd actually jog.

One's walking was involved, like the slow pace. So as all in, I mean, anybody at any level can join this. Okay, So tell us about how your Unfit run club event went.

Well, I went with some of my Fridyes.

Okay, so you had backup on this all right?

Win with oh yeah, and were you all looking to meet somebody or were they just totally coming as your wingman?

Do you mean, Brooke, are you asking are they all trying to meet one woman? Did they because too the same?

I just mean, like, is everybody's intentions the same here? Are they just coming just for you?

Okay?

Well they checked it out before they heard me on dating maps still and they said come checkt herself.

Okay, Oh is there a recommendation Okay.

And so you said you met someone named Melanie. How did that happen?

Yeah, so once we got to the bar, I met this girl Melanie right and were and chatting there.

Okay, and were you guys able to connect pretty well? Well?

Yeah, she was a really sweet, down to earth so we cracked a couple of jokes about the dating maps. That's the connected.

Oh it was like she was not nice, but you still went out. She was awful. Yeah, that would be weird. But you said you both bonded over not being on dating apps anymore?

Yeah?

Correct?

Okay, So she and did she explain why she had given it up? Was it the same reason?

I think everyone has the same How was the conversation with her?

The conversation went pretty good, you know, but then kind of ended in about ten minutes. I would say, we didn't have a lot of time.

Yeah, why so quick?

Well, if you think about it, I at the bar a lot of people. I'm with my friend, she's with her friends.

Okay, okay, So but but one.

Thing I'll tell you I did do. I did get her number.

Well that's good.

Did you ask her for the number or did you just take it?

Get it? I answer I told her, I want to continue.

Okay, did you guys go out again then actually go out for a first time?

So this is where you know, I'm stuck now and I need your help a little bit.

But I texted her, I.

Said, hey, you know it's Troy, the guy from the bar, and you know the event that we went to. And she goes no answer.

No, maybe just wasn't into the event, like in general, maybe she wanted to go back to the dating apps after it. Like if Alexis, if you went to something like this, do you think you would actually be into it?

Well?

No, I don't really like runner gays. I'm kind of traumatized after running this is it? So this is non runners? That's true. I mean that's true, but they're slow. How sweaty were you when you were talking to Hurt the bar?

You know, question, that's a good question.

Hey, I on a scale of one to ten, I was probably like a two and a half.

Okay, so you were you were a walker?

All right?

Wow, we can't get through one of these without Brooks shaming the male person. So I'm glad we got that out of it. Happens. So now we're going to call on Melanie here in just a minute, we'll reach out and see if we can get you a second date update, and maybe she'll shame you a little bit more before we get into it.

Think I'm a big sweater.

We're gonna We're gonna come back for second date update right after this second date update. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And if you've ever been to a charity five k run, you may have seen Brook there on the side of the booing the people who finished last because they walked or didn't walk fast enough or had crutches after their amputation. Are we already laughing because we've all seen that happen before. We've been there next to a wallet goes.

And I often host them and encourage people and get it to.

Run and not walk, and we do you even want to cure this disease? Pick up the pay slow pokes. I've heard it. You don't have to repeat it here. The only reason, the only reason I bring it up now is because there was a meet up of the Unfit Run Club as they call it, Card's not Mine. That's the name of the club. The whole point of it is to help people get off of the dating apps and get back to meeting people in real life. They do theirs at the park while they all run or sometimes walk around getting to know each other. And that's where Troy met a woman named Melanie the other day. Brooke has already gone on record to say just listening to Troy's voice, she knows that he's a walker who does not sweat enough.

Alexis asked if he was really sweaty.

When he met Melanie, and he said he was at a two. Two means that you're not running really hard. It's not a bad.

Thing, Troy. She calls you out of shape. What do you think, Troy?

Well, I'm not out of shape, Troy.

Some people swear theodor and do sweat much. Brooke, Okay, I am a big sweater all right.

So again I've done like this on the last forty of these calls we've had to do. But once again I apologize for my co host Brooke. We are still going to try and get you a second date here, Troy.

All right, sounds good. I mean, I'm pretty positive I think you guys could put it off and it went well.

All right, So we're about to call her right now, but just in case, you're tuning in for the first time. Melanie ghosted Troy after they had hung out for ten minutes at the very end of.

This event, so that she may not even remember him. To be honest, not it is a bad thing. I mean, he said there was tons of people there.

I am positive enough to believe that she will remember you. But you know what, Brook has to get that last jab in. Here we go.

I believe that.

Let's see if she picked.

Hello.

Hey, we're looking to speak with Melanie. Yeah, you may. This is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

Even when you say my ye Brook, Hi, Melanie, We're really happy to talk to you.

Welcome to Brook.

Yeah, thank you for answering and being here.

Hi, we're waiting. Sorry. I know this is probably weird, but we're doing a segment right now called a second Date Update, and we're trying to help out one of our listeners. That you met the other day at something called the Unfit Run Club.

Okay, yeah, I was there.

Yeah.

It sounds like a fun time, a real creative way to meet other singles.

Yeah. Well, someone that you met there had a really good time, felt like he had a connection with you. His name was Troy.

That's interesting. I met a lot of guys that night in a little bit more specific.

More specific than his name was Troy.

Yeah, you guys.

Talk for ten minutes. He was at a sweat level of around two. He didn't tell us a lot of details about what you guys talked about.

Don't gloat right now in front of him, the person, big smile on your face. But he's he's kind of like a soft spoken, like really nice guy.

Yeah.

I met a lot of guys that night, like I would get him a lot of attention that night.

Oh okay, girl, okay, wait, well that's great.

Remember they bonded over quitting dating apps, about how bad dating apps are.

That's what that's what you all talked about.

Oh yeah, I remember him.

Okay, let me see.

Yeah, but the way that she said it didn't give me a lot of hope. There. What what do you remember about him?

But what I remember is that he is a liar?

He's a liar?

Wait? Wait wait yeah, okay, Well you you guys talked for ten minutes?

He said, yeah, Ri, with's a minute okay, so that's true and finished talking. I went over to my friend, who recognized him from the dating app and he's still on them.

Oh yeah, but maybe he just didn't get around to deleting his pro file, you.

Know what I mean? Like, oh yeah, that sounds good, but no, why no? Yeah, because he tried to hook up with one of my friends to for the event and match with another one of my friends after the event. And I promise you, he said to me definitively, I'm never using a dating app again. He's a liar. He's a liar.

He didn't like add like, after I hit on your friend, I'm never using no stipulation.

That's why I'm no longer on a dating app, and that's why I am no longer talking to him.

Okay, okay, makes sense?

Yeah, why lie of that?

Maybe? Well, I know you're against talking to him on the dating apps, but what about talking to him right now over the phone?

I r L no, thank you.

Well, yeah, it wasn't really a question because I'm just trying to tell you he is on the phone right now listening to this conversation.

What.

Yeah, sorry, that's how this works.

No, he's not. Yes, I am boy there and he sounds pretty stalker, did you hear it? Yes? Yeah, that was really creepy.

Well, let's give Troy a chance to step in and maybe defend himself a little bit. Troy, go ahead, you have the floor, all right.

First of all, you know, I'm not a bad guy. I just want to create that up. She didn't lie, so let me point out out. I'll give it her credit.

Okay, who didn't who didn't lie?

Well, no, he didn't lie by saying that it was still on the dating app and whatnot.

But so you didn't know.

I know, but I met her for ten minutes, right, we met for ten minutes. She gave me her phone number. I text her and she's not responding. It kind of like made me realize that this thing might not be working out and let me stick to what I'm doing originally.

Wait wait, wait, wait, she said that you you were on the dating app by the end of the night hitting on her friend.

I'm just saying I won't want to get off the data and apps and theories in general.

His heart was in the right place when.

The past moving world. You know, you got to play with the game, so you gotta be why you're coming in.

As a nice guy like the guy who was like ready to stop playing the games.

And yeah, I am a nice guy. But you know, if I find a girl that's ready, you know, to communicate and continue the conversation, then of course I'm going to give it everything. But that wasn't the case.

You gave her like fifteen minutes. It sounds like to respond to a text.

He's a creep that you can hear it in his voice.

Yeah, I don't think we need to go that far and shame him for the sound of his voice. He's already been shamed for them out that he doesn't sweat enough on the show.

Why did your friend match with me? Then you know I'm not I'm just trying to find the right person today.

You're bragging that you're going out with her friends, He's not going out.

They matched.

He didn't return my message either, but I'm open.

Let me tell you something to my friend is the creek too, So.

For her it didn't make sense.

Are they perfect for each other?

No? No, she's a creepy he's even worse than him.

Well, maybe you should hook your friends.

Why they match?

Well, that's why they match.

Maybe your friend and Troy should go out on a date at some point.

Can we do that? Can we ask that question because each other.

It doesn't sound like Melanie is into this at all. But maybe Melanie, we could offer to send Troy out with your friend on a date that we yeah, your creepy friends on the day that we would pay for.

That might work, really works. Yeah, yeah, she'll date anyone.

How are you going to put your friend on that? So this guy that I don't like it is creepy, but they are you matched?

I guess yeah? Yeah, Troy.

Wait wait, wait, well now you're telling me she will anyone. I kind of don't want that.

Come on, now, you don't know a lot of options here, dude.

Okay, you know what you're talking, so I'll do it.

You are something, Troy.

We've scraped to the bottom of the barrel officially and we are sending you out on a date with Melanie's creepy friend.

Yay, I'm happy to It's gonna go great. I can't wait to hear it.

And Troy will be here for you when she goes to you and we can do a second date update.

For her as well. Hey, Melanie, I just want to say one thing to hate the game, not the player.

Okay, glad you saved that, but you know you guys, If you guys were on the phone, I would have hung.

Up your patience.

I am going to hang up on everybody. That's your second date update. Goodbye Jeffrey in the morning, I will say I do appreciate our listeners using old catchphrases from the nineties. Hint the player, not the game. He held on to that to the very end, was like preach.

Yeah the band Black Street, remember that? All right, I'm treating it back for you guys.

Let's see. Those are the final words from our listener, Troy, who caused our text board to blow up with people that cannot wait to hear about his upcoming hangout with him and his soon to be creeper dated. They're going to raise the roof together. I have no doubt the creeper roof. I love that. Everyone's always like, oh, they're a creeper, get away. But when two creepers meet, like, I'll creep on you, I'll creep on you. Okay, let's do that.

What kind of friend is she that she's like, yeah, my friend is.

We should have probably asked details of what makes her creepy. We were just happy to get him a date with anybody let's be honest, and I do hope that we get an update from them, because you just you never know with this show what relationships will and won't work out.

Even if the updates like oh yeah, I was supposed to go out with.

That guy, We'll see. But if you ever need help with your dating life, you can always reach out to the show. We'll call that person was and calling you back and go check out all of our second dates wherever you get your podcasts at Brooke and jeff Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning,
