time. Yeah, over the phone. We can do less than that. I know, without ever seeing each other. And I'm going to tell you, there were some highs and there were some low lows. I think you're going to want to comment about today's for sure. Yeah. And we got two different couples on the phone too, not to give you a spoiler. But hopefully

you love it. Let us know what you think in the comment section. Thank you so much for being here. Like, subscribe, and here we go. It's Brooke and Jeffery in the morning, and I think the best way to describe this next segment is like, if you've ever played footsie in a bubbling hot tub filled with 17 randos. Whoa, Jeff, that's so specific. Why do I feel like there's like a film

of something on the top of the water Knows and you don't know whose calf muscle you're caressing Whose pinky toe is sliding up your swim trunks? But you're not getting out of that jacuzzi. You're just testing the waters Enjoying the ride That's exactly what it's like when two of our single listeners will meet for the very first time, right here on our show, Sight Unseen.

You're talking about Blind Love Is? We're gonna find out if, I've got the PBGV. We're gonna find out if chemistry flies underneath those roiling bubbles during a brand new blind love is. I used to like hot tub jazz. It's coming up right after this. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning and they say true love is supposed to be unplanned and spontaneous.

Oh, is that true? It should sneak up on you like a sneeze or a sudden emotional breakdown in a Wendy's parking lot Seven strips of bacon on your Wendy's Baconator, how can you even call it? There's not a frosty big enough to cope with that. No, but today we're hoping to get that same spontaneous highly emotional feeling during a brand new edition of blind love is Where two of our single listeners will meet for the very first time right here in front of millions of our radio and podcast listeners to see if they've got Ken now If Sabrina Carpenter can say it I can say

Carpenter can say it I can't But remember these are two people who have never seen each other before they've never heard each other's voices They don't even know each other's names yet. I bet they're nervous Because they've agreed to meet a total stranger for the first time at the Chance of a possibility at a real love connection. So let's meet them. Their names today are Allie and Dean. We're not going to waste any more time. We're going to put them together back away and let them talk to find out if blind truly love is. All right, Allie, why don't you start and say hello to Dean? Go ahead. Hi, Dean. I love that name, you sound handsome already

just by your name. I'm Allie, how are ya? I'm great Allie, it's great to meet you. You sound adorable. Aw. Cute. Aw. Should we call it now?

Yeah, that was really cute. I mean she's got big energy. I feel good about it so far. He reciprocated. I know, I thought he was gonna be scared, but he wasn't. I know, well, he was taking back, but I think he likes it.

All right, maybe we should let them talk a little more. Ali, do you have a question for Dean? I do, I do. Okay, so if I were to go through your bedroom right now, what would I find that you would have to explain? Oh. Oh, wow. Great question. You come on strong, Ali. Yeah, that's a thinker. Find that you would have to explain. Oh

Good luck Dean Oh Alley and I was doing so well You know he's going through his head like what could I say what I say what safe It's probably the mannequin leg in my closet. Okay, yeah. It's from a Halloween costume. It's a whole long story. We can get into it if we ever actually meet.

A little teaser. Foreshadowing. Yeah, get her hooked with that leg story. Hey, Dean. Okay with that leg story. Hey Dean, okay, that was really good. Maybe do you have a question to ask back to Ally? I do. Ally, be honest.

Okay, honest. Have you ever fake cried to get out of a speeding ticket or a relationship? No. Wait, wait. You ain't no one of the range ones. So versatile. It, wait. Wait, wait. Wait a minute. What's the range like? So versatile.

It does help when you're ending things. Ali? That's a really interesting, um, because in fact, both. Oh, got it, girl. Oh, my last relationship actually ended while I was being pulled over. So it was like simultaneous. Yeah. How does that even happen? They're having the conversation in the car. It's a great place to have the conversation. Or the cop was your boyfriend pulled you over and broke up with you.

Remember, let's not monopolize their lovely chat that they're having with each other. This is their time to connect. Sorry, I need to match your voice too, Jeff. Go ahead, you guys. Okay. Ali, you said you were crying with the police officer present, go ahead. Good reset. Well, yeah, well, I was crying because of my breakup at the same time too, but apparently the cops wanted to pull us over and I cried about both things at the same time.

Aw. It doesn't sound like you were fake crying, Ally. No. You maybe thought you were trying to. No, she was real crying. It was a. Oh, Ali. Maybe you should move on and ask your next question Let's not linger in the extra moment. Yeah Okay, so if your ex were to describe you in three words, what would those words be? I don't know but I just thought about a bunch of cuss words.

Wow. It's the size words, but go ahead. Okay. My most recent X, she would say adorable, chaotic, and unpredictable. Oh, God. Ooh, we started with the right one.

What did you win? I like the chaotic part. You do? Well, that's the word that you like. Yeah, that's a green flag for you. Interesting. Dean, anything that you'd like to toss back Ali's way? Okay, Ali, have you ever faked anything on a date?

Oh my gosh! He's really wondering about faking. He's like projecting from something else. Yeah, that's exactly it. Some girl faked it. Ali? I did. I think twisted my ankle once because I pretended to like hiking Wait, did you fake it so why so we can have brunch instead?

Yeah, nothing harmful just harmless little. See that's a chaotic unpredictable characteristic right there Let's let's bring the music down. We're gonna put Dean and Ally both on hold for a second But honestly, this might be the first time that we don't even have to ask if there's chemistry between these two Smiling it sounds like they've met before yeah, I mean it really does it's possible they are brother and sister In all of its forms, let's not be judgmental Can we ask before they want to go out if they're brother and sister? No, they're not brother and sister Can we ask before they want to go out if they're brother and sister? No, they're not brother and sister The chaotic they would know each other's voices

Okay, you guys let's bring both of them back up spring Allie and Dean on Normally we would do two segments with this where we'd ask the listeners to text in to seven eight five nine two and tell us If they thought you guys had a spark, if they wanted to hear you guys talk more. I don't think we even need to go there. We're overriding that vote. No way. Unless you feel differently and you're not sure about each other. Ali, would you like to? Hey. Oh, he's going for it. Yeah, I won't fake either. Yeah. Oh wow. What a promise. Yeah, you can't go back on that Ali. That means you better be good. We're gonna hold you to that, but congratulations here. We're gonna set you guys up off of the air and make sure you stay in touch with us and let us know how the first meetup goes. Yeah, thank you guys.

Okay, so we're gonna ship Ali and Dean off to go on their forever journey together and we're gonna get a brand- Forever, Jesus, Jeff. No, no, they're married now. Yeah, this is it. This is binding forever, so we're gonna get a brand new couple to come on and test out their spark when we continue part two of blind love is coming up right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Today we could make radio history. Wow. Because for the first time we have the chance to successfully match not one, but two separate couples during blind love is. You put this music under anything and it does sound heroic. I feel inspired. Yes. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Cause if you missed it mere minutes ago, we set up two of our listeners,

Allie and Dean. Dude. And they were honestly so cute. They had such strong chemistry during their conversation they practically conceived over the phone which is exactly how we want these segments to end. Exactly how conception works. Yeah now we've got two brand new listeners who again have never seen or heard each other before this call. They've agreed to meet for the very first time right here on the show to find out if blind truly love is and their names are Kevin and Stephanie. Before we really get into it, Kevin, go ahead and introduce yourself to your possible forever match. Wow. No pressure.

Hi, my name's Kevin. It's nice to meet you. I'm really looking forward to this. Hi, Stephanie. My friend told me to do this, so I don't know if she'll be my friend after this. She's honest. A lot of optimism. Very honest.

Before we really get into it, we're going to step back, let you two get to know each other. Stephanie, apparently you've prepared some questions with our producer So why don't you go ahead start things off for us? Okay? Okay Kevin if we ended up living together. What is the weirdest thing that I would catch you doing? Oh Let's see gosh, I'm not that weird. I'm really, really kind of just like a normal guy. Probably, probably talking to my plants and and like apologizing if I forget to water them. A plant guy. As you should. Yeah. Yeah.

You say okay. I don't know. Stephanie, you're there, right? Yeah, I'm here. All right. What'd you think about his plant stuff? It's kind of cool. Yeah, he looks like a plant daddy.

I know, it's kind of sad if he like kills a plant. Oh. Well, if he apologizes to them. Well, he's remorseful about it. Haven't we all done that? Yeah, that's for sure. I've never killed a plant. Wow, that's impressive.

Okay, Kevin, maybe you should ask a question to Stephanie. Maybe that'll get the conversation going. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, cool. Okay, Stephanie, be honest. If we went to Ikea, would you actually help me around the store or would you just like fake an injury halfway through? To get out of it?

Okay. It's funny. I'm gonna pass on that question. Can I get a better one? What? Wait. You can't pass on that. That's not how this works, Stephanie.

Is that how it works even talking about IKEA starts fights? Pass. Okay, well I did pass. I want a new question. Oh, okay. work Stephanie is that how it works even talking about IKEA starts fights okay well I did pass I want a new question oh okay no one knows anyone's ever passed on a question before I don't think you can question Stephanie Kevin do you have a different question yeah yes yes I do Maybe ask what she wants to be asked. OK, hopefully this is it. Stephanie, would you rather have a pet snake or a pet boyfriend who sheds like a snake?

Eww! Look at his old skin still in the bag. Eww! I'm I'm I think that wasn't like a real question. I'm joking. That was a fun question. Stand by it. You have good energy.

I mean, he said it wasn't a real question. So. Oh, so fun. Okay, so Stephanie, your friend told you to do this to come on our show? Yeah. And it's not going well. So Stephanie your friend told you to do this to come on our show Yeah It's not going well. Can we just like Silence for 20 seconds If that's what Stephanie Ashley can you let's bring the music down for 20 seconds of uninterrupted

You don't do what she asked Jeff. What are you? She's scaring me a little bit broke So what woman doesn't I'm just trying to make her happy. This is absolutely ridiculous. I agree. I say we set a time. Why would you volunteer to be on a radio show and then ask to just sit in silence? You make her mad, Brooke. Let's just give her a chance. No, I didn't volunteer to be on that. I told you that. My friend made me do it. She made you. She like handed you the phone and just like... Okay, I think silence achieved. That wasn't even a full second Jeffery You couldn't do it. It is so uncomfortable to sit in 20 seconds. I am nervous

I want you to ask if Kevin is even interested in this at this point person on Yeah, I'd like to be paired with a different guy I'd like to be paired with a different guy. Oh, wait. No, not you. That's exactly what I meant. Stephanie, we met a different person for Kevin. Because Kevin seems interested in actually trying to match with somebody. You just seem like you're bothered being on the phone with him.

Yeah, I kind of shut off immediately. Yeah, if he had good questions, I would have been interested, but all of his questions were bad. I'm not interested in him. Okay. Kevin, do you want to apologize for having bad questions? I'm so sorry for Kevin don't I should have thought of better questions

You came up with the questions with our producer Well, I was 50% of that the producers 50% So I don't know how much we want to split the responsibility for the poor quality of the questions. Okay? 50% so I don't know how much we want to split the responsibility for the poor quality of the questions Okay, you're a nice guy. I don't think that's the problem. I like that. I feel like you and me should hang out sometimes Do you like snakes do you like snakes you know weirdly that's not the first time a guy has asked me that We'll talk about that later. Yeah, why is it not the first time we've witnessed a guy asking you that? Well, I do like that. He apologized, but I'm still not interested. You're still not interested. OK. All right. Jeff, we could have kept the cute couple on the phone.

God sakes. Well, this was still a fun experiment. Should we even should we have people text in to seven eight five nine two if they feel the chemistry happening? Oh Kevin and Stephanie just gonna force it even though Stephanie has blatantly said She's willing to do pretty much whatever her friends tell her and maybe what our listeners say to Yeah, so can I get a new guy or okay? You know what we're gonna work on that for you Stephanie a bunch of guys for you, that's okay We'll find the right one eventually Well, I don't want it to end like this on this note, well, I don't know how to solve it

We don't really have time to bring on two new callers So maybe Ashton just cue the romantic music one more time and let's see if Jose can sweet talk Brooke into buying him lunch today Action. Brooke remember when we were drunk in Vegas and I bought you dinner? No. We were blacked out, of course you don't remember. But I have a bill from like two three years ago. I think it's been more than a year.

This is more blackmailing her, try sweet talk her. Yeah. Oh, Brooke I really like the color of your shirt today Yeah, appreciate that. I'm not gonna order for Jose who always orders $15 of extra add-ons to every Avocado and quinoa and everything doesn't mean that I should be judged by seriously. You're so extra This is not going well Jeff You guys kind of do already sound like a married couple Actually, I call it a successful end to blind love
