We were in the car, like a Rolling Stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother. And I said, what?

What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened. These are just a few of the moving and important stories on my 13th season of Family Secrets. Listen to Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. They say no risk, no reward. Okay, yeah, true.

That's why whenever Brooke accidentally drops half a fun-sized Snickers bar into the garbage disposal, she reaches her hand right down in there. That's right. Oh, no. I mean, it does have a little bit of an iron taste after I eat it. But worth it. You know, not bad. The juice was worth the squeeze.

That's why two of our listeners are about to take a big risk just by being on our show today in the hopes of reaping the best reward of all. I would give you a thumbs up, but I can't anymore. You know, Brooke, it's not a Kingside Snickers bar that they're after. They're hoping to find true love. Oh. Because they're about to meet someone for the very first time over our. phone lines and a blind love is it's coming up next

Netflix has a hit show called Love is Blind and we thought we need to do the same thing for the radio yes oh my god is that what we're doing today I love when we do this we wanted to change the name to something so different that nobody would ever know that we borrowed it oh I thought it's just I just thought it was so we wouldn't get sued that too okay so we went with blind love is oh man So different, Netflix is never going to catch on. I didn't realize that that's what we're even doing until now. It's two people who have never met before.

They've never seen each other. No clue what they sound like. They're going to meet for the very first time on our phone lines to find out if they have an instant love connection. And then, we've never done this before. At the end, if they agree to go out again or go out for the first time. Or even if they don't, they'll describe and reveal what they look like to each other. Oh, my God, because we don't know what you look like either.

It's just like the TV show. We got two listeners who both have tried to be on different parts of our show for second dates or awkwards before. Didn't work out for them, but they're both open to meeting someone on our show right here. Their names are Tyler and Shauna. God, I feel so shallow that I just want to skip to the very end right now. Yeah, I know. I just want to know what they look like. All you care, you're a very superficial surface type of person.

I try not to be, but, you know. Just like always, we've encouraged them to prepare some fun, creative questions for each other. So we don't have to just listen to 20 minutes of small talk. Remember, we need quiet in the room while they're on the phone and we'll listen in to find out if blind truly love is. So, Jose, are you hopeful for our new couple? Dude, I think not seeing each other will make it better. Really?

Yeah, absolutely. Huh. Every time people see me, I've never found love. I think the show shows otherwise. I've never watched the show. Usually when they see each other, they're like, oh, God, I've made a terrible mistake. I'm sure that's not going to be the case today for Shana and Tyler. What a setup, Jeffrey.

Shana, Tyler, you both there? Hey, yeah. All right. So we're going to back away. They sound very excited. You can say hello to each other. And, Shauna, since we believe in manners here, you can ask the first question. But here we go.

Okay. I have a weird question for you. So I hope you have a fun answer. What is your go-to cheesy pickup line? and can you say it to me right now? All right, well, I'm not usually like a pickup line guy. I try to be more genuine most of the time when I can, but if I am trying to hit the best one would have to be, you know,

if I could rearrange the alphabet, I put you and I right next to each other. Oh, my God. That really is cheesy. I mean, there's no getting. I'm cheesier than that. I mean, the only cheesier line I could say is I think you're the most brie-to-full girl I've ever seen. Bree isn't the cheese, Bree?

Like, you're actually talking about Bree? Oh, cheesy. Like, her name's Sean. You know? I have to think about it for a second, you know? I did have to think, okay, what does this mean exactly? but I love cheese and I love three, so that's perfect. So you thought that line was pretty good at is what you're saying.

Oh, wow. We're taking it to another level now. Sorry to interrupt this very sexy conversation, but if you're just joining us, we're in the middle of blind love is, seeing if these two strangers who are meeting for the very first time right now have chemistry over the phone. Okay, now back to the action, pretend like we're not here.

Continue. Sorry, when I get nervous, I get real punny. That's just a little thing about it. I feel like I like cheesy pickup lines and rom-coms just as much as I like horror movies, but I'm really hoping that this doesn't turn into a horror movie. Oh, no. All right, well, let me hit it back at you. I got a weird question for you then.

Could you describe your ideal date, but do it using animal noises? You want me to do what? What? Okay, it's a little odd, I know, but describe what your ideal date, like, what would your best date you could go on? But do it using animal noise. I guess it would be, meow, meow, I don't know. I don't know if I can do much more than that. How about this?

me, your ideal date using just regular sound effects. No animals needed. I guess knock, knock, because they're coming to the door. Okay. Room, room, because we're driving to dinner, and then, um, num, num, num, num, because we're eating at. Interesting that your sound effects are just transportation and activity. Very cool. Okay.

So, unfortunately, we're running short on time for this portion of the segment as entertaining as that was to listen to. Oh, my God. Om, num, num, num, num, num, that was fun. You gave it a good shot. Yeah. I like that. Now, we got to pop the Shana and Tyler down so that we can discuss. Oh, my goodness.

How's the chemistry between Shana and Tyler, in your opinion, Brooke? I feel like Tyler is really confident in this. Do you know what I mean? Like, he seems like way more in control of this situation than she does. He definitely seems to be more playful. Alexis, what's your read on it? It's a little too cheesy for me. Not just because of the puns.

Because of the cheesy jokes? You know, yeah. But I think it works for them. Jose, you like, you know, cheesy punny humor. And that was Tyler's go to. What do you think? Of course. He's cheesy and funny, but he can also be what I call calm, not confident.

Not confident, but he's like a calm energy. He's not phase. He's just letting it roll. She sounds a little more nervous. I feel like she got more nervous as it went on. You know what I mean? Noises. It was a strange question to ask a woman to do to build a romantic connection.

But I like that he's being creative with it going out there. So we ought to put it up to the text board. Yeah. 7-8-5-9-2. To see if you want to hear more from Shana and Tyler's flirtatious conversation. Yes, or another shot. Is he going to go do-to-do-do or plumb. We'll just have you said.

Oh, even Brooks doing sound effects now. Continue the date or stop it. Text in, 78592. We'll come back and see if we can do more Blind Love is and maybe find out what they both look like. Oh, how about it? I'm dying to know. Right after this.

We're in the middle of another hot, steamy, extra cheesy edition of Blind Love is. God, I love some steamy cheese, Jeff. Yeah. I know you. to do. I really love that Brooke was trying to do the sound effects in the middle of their conversation because she's so desperate to be single again. She's actually trying to swoop in and steal Tyler away. That is not true. I just am excited for people to find love, Jeff. And I

thought that she did a great job trying the sound effect thing. That would be hard to do. Yeah. Well, our text board at 785.992 was kind of split. It's about 50-50 on if they think Tyler and Shauna should continue their flirtation because we're getting a lot of comments saying that our listeners like them both but maybe they don't have the best chemistry together How do you know in like a two minute period? It is hard to establish right away if you're not me

but maybe a few more questions between the two of them will determine it for them so we're going to stick with Shauna and Tyler we're going to find out if truly blind love is and hopefully at the end of the segment we'll get to reveal what they look like because again, they do not know anything about each other's physical appearances. They're just trying to vibe off of their voices. Let's ring them both back on.

And Shauna, you can go ahead with your next question for Tyler. Okay. My next question is, name the movie title that perfectly describes your last relationship. Oh. Oh, okay. This is a tough one. Let me, uh... All right, I guess I'm going to go with...

This is going to sound a little weird, but I'm going to go with Home Alone. Oh. He went out a lot, and we didn't really spend a lot of, like, great time together, so, you know, it felt like dating her was kind of like a trap. Oh. That's a modesty.

I'm so sorry. Yeah, I mean, so I don't know. What movie would you describe it? your last relationship as what would it be i think mine would be like how to train your dragon oh what i feel like that was a it was a very i was in a relationship for a really long time so we were like very new when we got together and um we had to learn a lot of things so It's out of dragon, for sure. Okay.

Okay. I mean, you know. Both of us use kids movies. I don't know what that's about, but... I love kids movies. I'm a big Harry Potter fan, so... Okay, but you're not like an adult, aggressive Harry Potter fan, right?

There's like a huge difference between just being a Harry Potter fan and having, like, a Deathly Hallows tattoo on you. No, I don't think... anyone would categorize me as aggressive um okay i uh i don't have any you know hoggwards tattoos but i um i do have my own wand but i don't out all the time okay okay well i uh all right well i'm gonna hit you the question now um if you're just joining us we're right in the middle of blind love is where we have two strangers meeting for the very first time over the radio to find out if there's a spark there or maybe something more sorry keep going how how would you describe your ideal man

but in emojis oh oh that's a good one i would say the fire emoji for sure oh the um not the first one i'd make the muscle emoji you know the one where like it's a guy's arm curling. And then maybe the smiley face with the three hearts around it. Like, I mean, ideally, I'd love a man that takes care of himself, but also takes care of me. So I love to cook. I'm a big, big chef.

I don't, so I kind of don't want a guy that cook so that I can do that. All right. What's your signature dish? It's my dad's famous pasta sauce. It's based like a ragu, but it is, I've never. ever tasted anything like it in a restaurant in Italy it is incredible oh okay that sounds awesome I'm I'm in oh that was the that was all right oh my god that's so cute now we got to pop shana and Tyler down so that we can discuss that turns into like real conversation at the

end instead of like you know their chemistry was improving as time went on if we were on the phone with them for like 400 hours like they would really be bonded together. I don't want to say this but brother, she sounds like a catch. I feel like I was having chemistry with her the whole time and I didn't even talk. Harry Potter, she loves to cook. She's a nice girl. That pasta line. Oh, what a hooker. Now here's the big question. Yeah. It's really for them. After talking to each other, do they want to meet up in person for the very first time? and see if love blind truly is. Pretty sure I said it wrong, but you get the idea of what I meant.

Yeah, legal doesn't get it. That's all that matters. So let's ask Shana. Shana, based on the conversation that you just had with Tyler, are you interested in meeting up in person with him? I'm definitely interested. I would just love a photo maybe just to see what he looks like or maybe he could describe himself.

Oh, no, we didn't do that. No, but that's only if he agrees, and they both agree, I mean. So, Tyler, go ahead. Why don't you describe what you look like in general for Shawna? Give her an image. So I look like the arm curl emoji. No, I'm kidding. That was funny.

The girls didn't laugh. I was funny. I'm just excited to hear. What do you look like, ma'am? I'll get to the first thing I know every woman's warning. I am 511. I don't lie about being six foot. Good.

Sweet. I blow the cutoff. I'm honestly. the most important, obviously. Alexis is shaking her head. Oh, my God. One more engine. Stop it, dude.

Okay. Anything else? Brown hair, brown eyes. I've been called like an off-brand, Zach Ephron, if that kind of paints a picture for you. Okay. Current Zach Ephron or Zach Ephron

from high school musical? There's a big difference. No, like Zach Ephron from Wish. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Like, Shana, what do you think? You into off-brand, Zach Ephron?

You know, I am. I... Yeah, girl. I believe you with how you answered that for sure. Why don't you tell Tile a little bit, how about your physical appearance? Well, I'm pretty short. I'm 5'2, but I'm brown hair. I'm a ballet dancer, so make of that with what you will.

Do you have a celebrity look-alike? So my mom has always, a lot of people, but my mom is the first one to tell me that I kind of look like Judy Garland, Circa, Wizard of Oz. Oh, my God. That's so wholesome. Is that the bad witch or good witch? No, Judy is the... Yeah, Dorothy. I mean, she's 14 years old, so...

Yeah. I don't know if that's necessary. Best description. When you're 5'2, you know. Yeah. People are saying you're young. I don't know. I mean, I am short and I look young from my age.

What do you think, Tyler? You went to a 1920s, 14-year-old starlet sort of work? 1930. Oh, sorry, excuse me. Totally different. You know, when it was described like that, You know, I was a little weird, but I'm, I'm, I want to try to do the next step. Let's give it a try.

Yay. That's cute. You guys sound like a cute couple in my mind anyway. Can you believe it? Yeah, we did it. For maybe the very first time on this show, Blind Truly Love is? Yes. Oh, my God.

Give us an update after you guys meet up. Okay. We'll give you a recap and sound effects. Okay. Maybe just send that to Brooke's voicemail or love. Anyway, that is blind love is texting 785.92 if you want to appear on the next edition and maybe find your true love right here on the show. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I'm investigative journalist Melissa Joltson. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed. We have some breaking news to tell you about. Tennessee's Attorney General is suing a Nashville doctor. In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight and trapped behind locked doors were more than a thousand frozen embryos.

I was terrified. Out of all of our journey, that was the worst moment ever. At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow. But this story isn't just about a few families' futures. It's about whether the promise, of modern fertility care can be trusted at all. It doesn't matter how much I fight. Doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this.

It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant. Listen to what happened in Nashville on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Okay. I wouldn't call them a couple. Apparently, they went on one date, and she was disappointed that he couldn't sing and dance like Zach Efron in the high school musical. Oh, darn. Yeah, they went to karaoke and he had no rhythm. Oh, no. So that was the end. He looks pretty, but that's good.

Yeah, yeah. Hard to be like Zach Efron. That's a hard part. I know. It is. It is. It is. So it doesn't always work out, but at least they tried.

Yeah. They tried. Did you get a comment or anything on this one? I did see Ali Anderson said, Jose should do this with a listener. Oh. Hey. Remember, we used to do that with you.

We'd set him up and we'd actually have people, women come into the studio. Yeah, yeah. So it wasn't blind. It was mostly awkward for us, I feel like. Yeah, totally. They were cute, though. We had some cute ones in here. Yeah.
