We're adding a little extra content to help you get over the Sunday Scaries! After meeting her real-life Romeo in a Dungeons and Dragons game a few months ago, we have an update from a couple on how their magical romance has gone since!
Second day. Falling in love in this world is hard enough, okay, but what would it be like to fall in love in another realm?
Whoa cool?
Could you imagine what that must look like?
I can't.
I don't know.
Just thou art look it like my fair maiden?
A good guy?
Men were so manly back then, wereth they? Do you have tights on right now?
Too?
Yeah? Yeah? And honestly, I'm not a very big fantasy role playing guy obviously, unless it comes to costumes in large lightsabers. That's a different story. But yeah, one of our listeners is really into it, and it actually helped her meet a guy recently. Now she's asking us for help today. Her name is Leah, Leah, welcome to the show.
Hey, everybody, would you call yourself a fair maiden?
Only when I'm trying to be all right?
So tell us about the guy you met? What's his name?
His name is Jonathan?
Okay, and where did you meet Jonathan?
One of the guys in my D and D group was doing a one shot, which is basically just like a one night only game.
All right, we have to slow down. So you said D and D, which is Dungeons and Dragons.
Yeah, it's Dungeons and Dragon okay.
And I forget that's not like magic where you play with cards. Dungeons and Dragons is a game.
It's a board. Okay.
So it's basically like you're playing pretend and there's rules and you roll dice.
Okay, yeah, I knew that. Yeah, over the stranger thing like Stranger Things.
Wait one shot? What does that mean?
Is it? Tequila?
That's what I thought. I'm like, maybe I'm into Dungeons and Dragons.
Maybe maybe six shot.
Oh my god, Drunkards and dragons.
Here we go.
Now you got our language.
Okay. So basically, usually when you play D and D, it's like Stranger Things, you play over the course of like a long time, okay, But in this game, it's like just one time.
Okay. So it's a quick game. It's a quickie, yes, okay, all right, And how did you meet this dude? How did you do the quickie with the guy?
He is a friend of one of the other players. So everybody brought like new people to see who enjoyed it. And so Jonathan was playing a character.
Also, okay, what character were you?
I am a halfling bard.
A halfling bar say that.
What you mean, go on, I'm very excited about my halfling Bard. She's very cute. She's little, that's why they called him halflings. And she plays a cello but it's like bigger than her, so she plays it like a double bass.
It's very silly.
That's cute.
Okay, So you're a halfling Bard. And who's this mystery man that wound you or not? What's his character?
Right? So he is a human fighter. So he's just like real good at like punching and kicking and shooting arrows boring.
Okay, Okay, so he's a fret guy.
He's gonna do D and D but he's still gonna be cool. Yeah, that sounds like.
And so does the guy have a character name?
Yeah, so I'm Deanna and he was Limb.
Limb Limb Is that because he's got a big No, you're just rooting this game for her D and D.
So how do you guys end up like interacting? How does the bard and the human fighter end up interacting in the game.
Well, basically, like we're all on the same team. We're all trying to do like this magical mission, like we were rescuing a dragon from a princess.
Oh, princess took the dragon hostage?
What is happening?
And so you know, we're we're doing magic, we're punching, we're kicking, and I'm like, I'm a very different person when I'm playing D and D. I tend to be like kind of shy and like don't overstep my own comfort zone. But like that's the nice thing about D and D's like you get the kind or of try on whatever. So like, you know, my character Donna is like golden brash, and she's all like heye, stranger, Oh.
Yeah, this is like role playing at this point.
Yeah, So he starts blurting right back, and so we take like a little break to grab our drinks and our refills and whatever, and so we start talking and I'm like, oh wait, in real life, you're also a really cool person.
Love.
So okay, so you guys broke away from the game for a second to just talk normally Leah and Jonathan not yeah, the bard and the whatever limb right, okay, And so where you're feeling a connection that way?
Yeah, I was, and I think I got some signals that he was too. I mean, after the game we actually went and we got a beer.
Oh so that's a date date.
Yeah. So was there any romance when you guys got the drinks?
I mean I felt something, but I didn't act on it. Like I really felt like there might have been a moment where like maybe a kiss could happen, but I didn't really see anything from him, you know, and I didn't want to like overstep all.
You needed to bring out your your inner half wing barred.
Like, yeah, you should have transformed into the bar and kissed them right on the mouth. Yeah, like a naughty little bar does.
Oh no, I couldn't.
Ye, maybe Leah couldn't, but the haffling bar could, I thought.
The board damn. So have you reached out to him?
I texted him to see if he wanted to hang out again, you know. I phrased it so vaguely, of course, but he hasn't really gotten back to me.
You were just too vague. Then maybe that's the thing he didn't understand.
You didn't want to lar you know, It's possible.
Yeah, I don't mean the stereotype, But my guess is with the D and D dudes like you need to be pretty upfront with what I mean. I just don't think they probably pick up on small flirting a.
Hit on them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just that's big stereotype, thinking of like elementary school kids playing DD.
This is just a guy that showed up for a one off.
I'm not trying to be mean. I'm asking if that's you think that's the case.
Yeah. No, I definitely don't think that he's like the stereotypes or anything. I think he just seemed like a cool guy.
Okay, well let's find out for sure. We're gonna play a song, we'll come back, we'll call Jonathan for you, and we'll attempt to cast a charm spell on him when we do your second date update.
We said it. I think we said it.
No, I think it really landed. It was perfect, she says. Okay, we're gonna do it right after this hold on 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, just a warning.
For our haffling barred on the phone. This second date update could be a rough one, so you may need to double knot your chastity belt or do it not. Maybe we're lease it. I don't know. I'm not sure what's gonna happen here. What I do know is that one of our listeners, Leah, met a guy named Jonathan while playing Dungeons and Dragons at a friend's house. Jonathan was a newcomer to the group, and they had a little flirtation in the game, which led to the two of them grabbing drinks outside of the game. Yes, them and she felt a genuine connection. But after that, Jonathan has disappeared like a mischievous half elf wizard, casting an invisibility spell outside Balder's Gate.
Well, yeah, do you play Dungeon and Wind Dragons? Why do you know all this stuff?
I just google a bunch of dungeons and drugs?
Oh you did?
Okay, But our job is to get Jonathan back on the phone to explain himself. Yes, and possibly make a baby with Leah.
Why are we doing that? Why are we going from chastity belts to babies?
I just said possibly that would be a very successful second date. Update.
If you ask me scaring me, you better not scare him all.
Okay, Yeah, We're just gonna call Jonathan and see if he wants to go out on another date. How's that all right?
Let's do it, Okay, try not to embarrass you too much.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to dial Jonathan's number right now.
Here we go.
Hi, I'm looking for Jonathan. Yeah, hey Jonathan. My name is jeff from the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. How you doing good?
Thanks? Okay, what's it about.
We're doing a segment on our show called a second date Update. Basically, that's where if one of our listeners goes out on a date and afterwards, if they're not calling them back, they'll email us to reach out and try and help them figure out the reason.
Why have you heard of this before?
No?
I haven't, but I mean that sounds cool. It sounds like very marketable, great idea.
Thanks.
Okay, Wow, I like you?
Why but I'm very impressed about you?
Yes?
Or do we just like him because he's complimenting us?
Whatever, We'll take it.
We don't get very many of those on this show. So back to the second date update. Recently, you met a center of our show who had a great time with you and has been trying to get in touch, but it's been having a little bit of difficulty with it. Her name is Leah.
Yeah, that name sounds familiar.
Yeah, do you remember her? You played Dungeons and Dragons with her?
Yep, yep, I do, yes.
She was a halfling bard and I guess you were a human fighter, a very sexy one.
According to her, that sounds fitty now complimented him.
I like that.
So the reason that we're doing this whole phone call is because Leah wants to understand why, after you guys had a really nice time together, she's been having such a hard time getting a hold of you because she wants to see you again.
Well, yeah, she's an interesting person. I like Leah. I think that she was nice. She's a little intense, but then again, so is camping camp.
It's intense, you guys like campaign.
Okay jokes.
I thought it was.
Another d D thing you did.
But what makes you say that Leah is intense? I didn't get that impression from her, Like she's into the game obviously, But why do you say intense.
Well, I'm not sure if she was nervous or something like that, but right when we got there, I mean, I think she was still coming off the hive the game, but she started trash talking me a little bit in a way, like, hey, man, had you not been on my team, I would have owned you. I'd have like slept on your corpse. And I was like, oh, elept.
On your course?
Wait did that make you laugh?
Though, well nervously so. Apparently she was part of this necro napper group thing they hold on like some sort of like slay and sleep Apparently.
Is this in D and D or is this necro group outside of D and.
They would like kind of do it like a slay and sleep, Like they would just destroy people in the game and then they would like sleep on the corpses and this weird stuff.
I still can't tell if this is like real life slaying people in sleeping on them, or is.
This like D and world it's in the game.
It's very import to clarify though, because I'm having a hard time.
Whatever it was, it was just a turn off. I mean, I like her as a person and I enjoyed spending time with her, but whatever it was, it just seems to me that she would probably be better off for somebody who's in a D and D as much as she is.
Yeah, okay, I mean I feel like because we spoke to her for a little bit, Jonathan, and she sounds like a very nice person to us, and I think she may have just been caught up in the game. You guys have just come from playing.
And she did describe that her game character, whatever you call it, in D and D is very different than who she is in real life.
She did say that.
Well, I just felt like D and D was her life. And now I'm not sure if I'm looking for somebody like that.
Okay, okay, okay, maybe she would say differently, maybe she would.
Let's find out, because I need to tell you Jonathan Leah's on the other line listening, and she wants to talk to you.
Oh careful, she's gonna take a nap on you.
Lee. Are you there.
Oh I am so embarrassed.
Oh sweet, it's okay.
So Jonathan Lea is there. She's been listening to this entire conversation.
I think she's bright red.
Yeah, I'm really glad this is radio.
Yeah. We don't want to see the corpse that you're sleeping.
Oh come on, Oh hey, listen, Leah. I'm just telling the truth. I'm not meaning any harm or any foul, but I mean, hey, if you want to explain your side and just kind of get an understanding for me, like I would love to hear that.
Show.
Yeah, I don't know. I guess I got a little too into it. I didn't mean to scare you off like that. I hope that you're not like it turned off from D and D.
Also, maybe explain the necro nappers thing.
I mean, okay, it's just this really silly thing that like one of the other guys and me in the group thought of in a previous game, where it's like, yeah, we slay our enemies and then we're gonna like take a relaxing nap. I promise it's funny in a game, but like, yeah, outside of.
Helped just a little bit, And I think I can compare this and make this sound a little less weird. In Fortnite, after you kill someone, if you want to be toxic, you can dance.
Over their body.
That's terrible.
So I think it's it's like you get your kill and you're like, ha, I got you, and then you do an emot that is what it's called. So I feel like you're doing the same thing.
It's just a lot more dark good news. It's a relaxing Now, Jonathan.
Does does any of this make you feel a little bit better about Leah partially.
Okay, getting somewhere that's better right way?
Yeah, sure, i'd be. It was just skinning things and wearing them was kind of weird, But I guess it's because I didn't understand it. And if you explained it to me that you're, like, not this person that goes and does this on a regular basis in real life, then I would.
Probably Okay, Leah, can you assure him of that? Yeah?
Oh, my gosh, no, I work in a post office.
I don't like Damn, that doesn't help you.
There's been some incidents attic over the years, so I don't think they dance at all. I mean, Jonathan, don't you feel like outside of the D and D world and all the D and D lingo, did you have a fun time with Leah?
Oh?
Absolutely?
Okay, sir.
Yeah, and maybe next time when you guys meet up, there can be no D and D involved whatsoever, so you just get to know the two of you as regular human people. Yeah.
Well, I'll tell you what, Leah, do you really like? Dungeons and dragged is like a lot?
I mean, yeah, it doesn't mean that I have to have it be my whole life.
Well, I like normal Leah when we just kind of sat down and had a good time. So how about I give you a shot where I actually can just sit down with dungeons and dragon Leah and just listen and understand how you got started in that.
Oh, I'm not sure, are you asking her out?
Like?
How about I give you a shot?
Like?
That was a little I know what he's saying is he already knows he likes normal Leah. He wants to give Gunge the dragons.
Leah another Jonathan, Jonathan, if I were Leah right now, I don't want to sleep on your corpse.
Yes, so it was weirdly worded. It was yeah, let's try it for him.
Yeah, so Jonathan, here's the deal. We would love to send you and Leah normal Leah out on a normal date and we'll pay for it.
Really. Yeah that sounds good?
Okay, yes, you agree?
Yeah, in the in the game, I accept.
That, Maiden.
Ah. Hey, maybe don't start the game ring.
There's definitely gonna be some corpses slept on after this. All right, Well, congratulations, Leah, we got you another date.
Man.
Wow, I'm excited.
I can't Guys, we've never done it for a necro napper before.
I think in the D and D world we.
Just ranked up.
Chastity belts coming off tonight.
We congratulations you too, freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
That was a second ate update from a few months ago. One of those the stranger ones that we've had, for sure, but.
I mean the first necro napper we've ever had.
Definitely probably the last. But it ended on a good note. And now Jonathan and Lea are back to tell us what's been going on since that happened. Jonathan, Lea, welcome back to the Showy.
Okay, you sound happy. That's always a good sign.
Yeah. Are you guys still dating us? Still together?
Yeah?
What's the status?
Oh my god, No, no, we're not together.
Oh oh, that's weird.
Usually when people want to do a follow up with us, it's because they're in like a cute relationship.
I mean between you know, Dungeons and Dragons and just life. We kind of realized it's better if we're friends.
Okay, So you guys did go on a few dates.
Yeah, to be fair, we went on a couple They were a lot of fun, all right.
It was nice because I mean I kept going to the parties with her and it was fun. But she actually introduced me to her roommate.
Oh, she pawns you off onto somebody else the way?
Are you dating her roommate?
Yeah?
Okay, okay. How long has that been going on?
Just a couple of months and we're moving in together.
Wow, Leah, how do you feel about that?
I mean, if it was anybody else taking her away, I would definitely be bad. But Jonathan is so sweet. I think it's really good for her.
Oh, you definitely make a lot of money because most of you will be really passed.
Yeah, my friend, she found another roommate. Maybe, like that's true.
Well, no, I just have to say that, Leah. You are a sweetheart and I appreciate you very much, and I'm very thankful that you introduced me to Valerie. So thank you.
It worked out so like the first time ever, that friend zoning was good.
Yeah.
Yeah, Well thanks for sharing you guys, and of course, Jonathan, good luck Leah's roommate. Don't screw it up.
Oh my god, right, because they're moving in pretty quickly.
Yeah. Text into seven, eight, five nine too. If you want a second eight update, email the show and we'll call the person who isn't calling you back.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
