Congratulations, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2

I thought it was like a you know, super cute story that you never hear couples talk about, like how did you how did you guys meet and it was over a financial exchange.

And everyone seems to meet online these days, you know.

Speaker 3

All right, well, where'd you guys go for the Where did you guys go for the date?

Speaker 2

Well, we went to this nice little Italian dinner at uh hm.

Then then uh you know, we we had a great conversation and before the date ended, you know, we were talking about like the stuff that we both love, like Saturday Live in the days of Dana Carvey, Mike Myers.

Yeah, you know.

Speaker 1

The Golden Years every day?

Speaker 2

Yeah, yeah, absolute.

Speaker 1

Are you a comedian?

Speaker 2

No, no, no, I actually I even get nervous talking about it.

But I don't do well in front of crap.

It's just not my my thing.

But but I love writing material for stand up comedian.

It's one of the jobs that I and I go and you know, I'll support my friends.

And Jessica kept talking about how she loved stand up comedy.

So I'm like, why don't you come with me?

So we went out.

Speaker 4

You know, so you took her to meet your friends, like friends who are comedians.

M h.

That already sounds like I could have gone wrong in so many ways.

Please tell me that I'm wrong here well.

Speaker 2

I think you're wrong, because I mean, I honestly think everything went great, you know.

I mean, she she says she did well, you know.

I mean she was laughing most of the time, and she told me she had a good time.

I mean, there was one point when a female comedian, not one of my friends, gave her a little razzing about her yellow shoes.

Might have made an inappropriate Wizard of Oz joke, but that's embarrassing, I'll tell you.

Like, yeah, I mean, she handled it very well, and you know, it didn't seem to ruin the mood.

Speaker 3

So the comedian used her in a joke somehow liked did it feel more like she was being made fun of?

Sometimes people get really uncomfortable, Like you know, they'll say, if you're uncomfortable with public humiliation.

Speaker 1

Do not sit on comedy, do not matt rifle.

Yeah.

Speaker 2

Yeah, well, I mean I think she basically was okay and it was harmless.

I mean, Jessica laughed at it and she seemed fine afterwards, but she did get a little red in the face.

I mean after the show, we had a few drinks and that was it.

I mean, it was just a few weekends ago, so you know.

I just want to know because I honestly thought that we might have had something.

Speaker 1

All right, well, we're going to give Jessica a call and find out why she's ghosting you.

Speaker 2

Sound good, sounds fantastic, Thank you?

Speaker 3

Well?

Speaker 1

Did that come up here?

At eight thirty seven on ninety three q's second Date Updates.

Speaker 3

Jessica and Murphy met in a very unconventional way on Venmo.

Speaker 1

Yeah, you heard that right.

Speaker 3

And then they went to what some would say is an unconventional first date because they went to a comedy show.

And yes, in case you're wondering, Jessica did get picked on at the show.

Is that the reason why she's not calling Murphy back?

We're gonna find out right now.

A second date update?

Speaker 1

Hello, WHI is this Jessica?

Speaker 2

We love you so much?

So do you know who we're calling about?

Jessica?

Speaker 5

Oh my god, yes, I think I do.

But wait, can he hear us yet?

Because I know that like they listen to what the person says, can he talk back right now?

Oh my god, I can't believe this was happening.

Speaker 1

Okay, that's a weird question to ask.

He can't hear us now, can't He can't talk until I push the button?

So okay, the floor is all yours?

Okay, yeah, button?

Speaker 2

Don't the button?

Speaker 4

All right?

Speaker 5

This is so crazy, Like I find this this is so weird because I thought to myself during the day, like I knew that I didn't want to move forward, and I just thought, like to myself, I swear to god, I was like, what's the worst that can happen?

Like maybe he puts me on the second date updates and here you are.

I swear this is like blowing my mind.

Speaker 3

You've got no or we are not kidding, We're very real.

You are obviously ghosting Murphy.

Why we need to know?

What's why are you doing this?

Speaker 5

Honestly?

I don't really want to hear from him again, Like he was way too weird and I don't think that things would like ever work out between us.

Speaker 1

What happened though, Like, what do you mean weird?

Speaker 5

Okay, brace yourself.

Speaker 2

Murphy does not laugh.

Speaker 5

I'm sorry, he doesn't laugh, like at all.

At any like we went to go seeing stand up comedy.

Right, Oh, I'm sure he's like already told you all about this.

And I saw him give a few smiles and like maybe some like super lackluster chuckles, but like he didn't laugh at any of the comedy stuff.

And these comedians were so funny.

Speaker 4

Wait wait, so like he doesn't laugh at all, Like he just like sits there and that was it.

No chuckle, nothing, no, not.

Speaker 5

Even a drop of emotion.

You just intently stared at them like he was watching like like he was watching like a national geographic documentary.

Speaker 2

Is so weird.

Speaker 3

That is terrifying.

If something is even remotely funny and I don't even get a smile from you, that's that's weird, like serial killer type behavior.

Speaker 1

I'd be terrified.

Speaker 2

Okay, okay, okay, okay, all right, all right, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Speaker 4

You guys said he wasn't listening yet.

Along he said he couldn't talk until he pressed the button.

Speaker 1

I pushed the button always here.

Speaker 2

Hi Murphy, Hi Jessica.

I mean I don't laugh at the jokes, mostly because I'm watching the techniques and the timing and the comedians, so that I can help them with their content.

I mean I didn't.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I was looking like a psychopath.

Speaker 5

Yeah, I mean, honestly, Murphy, you scared me.

You absolutely looked like a psychopath.

Speaker 2

Wow.

I mean I'm looking back, and yeah, I hear what you're saying.

I could.

I could have been a little creepy the whole time.

I usually just I usually watch the performance, you know, from the side, and I'm just listening to see how the crowd reacts to what they're doing.

So it's kind of a you know, I was I guess I might have been in job mode, and I apologize for that.

Speaker 4

I feel like we've just been with you on this crazy rollercoaster ride where you just had like a moment of self realization.

Speaker 2

Well, you know, you can only get better.

Speaker 3

Okay, Well, Jessica, that sounds pretty genuine.

I mean, it does sound he told us that he was, you know, did some writing and stuff, so it does sound like he was critiquing, kind of watching, getting ideas that type of stuff.

Do you think we can move past this?

Go on a second date again?

Speaker 1

Or a second date?

And Jenny, it's kind.

Speaker 2

Of cute before she answers before she answered, Jessica, I just want to apologize to you for looking like a weirdo.

And you know, I mean I I would love a reset.

I would love to take you out on another date if you if you don't think I'm associopath, and I would.

You know, it will not it will not be a comedy club.

I promised it.

Speaker 5

I mean, obviously you do have a sense of humor, but yeah, I feel like we could try this.

Speaker 4
