When you go on a first date to a restaurant or a bar, you ever think about how there's probably other couples who are also having first dates at the exact same time right next to you?

I don't. That's really a bonding thought. Yeah. You know? I don't want to think of it as bonding. Like, I don't want to be out-romanced by somebody else in there. I thought it was a comforting thing. Other people were in the same awkward position. It's a competition. It's not a good look on me. That's why I always buy flowers and cake for every woman in the bar. To prove I'm the alpha lover of this sizzler. Oh, you just set the tone, Jack. I think you just got taken advantage of, but I appreciate the cake.

But one of our listeners, Cameron, says he definitely got one-upped by another dude on his date. Oh, no. And he was actually cool with it. Oh, okay. So, Cameron, I guess you're at that sizzler, huh? I'm sorry, man. Yeah, I guess so yeah did your date fall hard for jeffrey and you just had no control over the situation i mean that's the only explanation i guess yeah yes i see i apologize already but tell us about

the woman that you went out with what's her name uh her name is lauren okay and i'm guessing you met on a dating app or something we did okay what did you like about her i mean she's really pretty and okay it happened really quick asked her out pretty immediately okay oh wow like second text message like hey sup want to date uh yeah no i wasn't really wasting any time here. Well, you must be hot if that works. Appreciate the efficiency. Yeah. I mean, that's going into, like, the date with not a lot of knowledge, right?

You're pretty blind. Yeah. But it's good because, you know, I've had dates where I've talked with the girl online forever, and then there's just nothing to talk about at dinner. I can see that, too. Yeah, don't waste all the conversation up front. I see what you're saying. Where did you end up going for your date?

Well, I took her to a hangar where I fly planes. Whoa. Okay. You just coming out of the gate with a flex, huh? Oh, my gosh. You're a pilot? Yeah, so I made a point of making my profile pic of me in a plane cockpit because I figured that was it.

Oh, that's cool. That's why she went out with you immediately. My head goes to free flights. And he's rich if he's a pilot. Do you own a plane or you share a plane with somebody? Not yet. I've been taking lessons.

Oh, cool. Alexis has officially stopped listening to the conversation. I already know people that are pilots. I don't need you anymore. She's like, you don't have your wings yet? Okay. So, I mean, what was the date plan at the hangar, though? You just walk around some planes and look at them? Yeah. So, I mean, I go to this flight school.

It's 30 minutes outside the city. And I thought that would be a really cool first date. You know, just give her, like, exclusive access to an airfield that I can get into. And, you know, just look around. Look at the at the planes that's awesome was there any food involved yeah peanuts brook i mean we were planning to go to a bar afterwards but you know i just wanted to show her my thing you know she seemed interested oh so you didn't go flying you didn't like take her up in a plane no No, I'm not allowed. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay, got it. But that's cool though. I mean, it's cool that she was interested in it. Was she impressed by the plane tour? She was. The weird thing is when we got there, there were some huge letters on the runway. It spelled out, will you marry me? Oh my gosh, bro.

You're moving a little fast here. Yeah. No, I didn't do that. I didn't do that. I didn't do that. Are you sure? You asked her out second text message. I could see you marrying her immediately. Dude, there was a marriage proposal at the same time?

For someone else. That's why you were one-upped on the date. Yeah, I mean, it just proves my point that it's a romantic spot. But no, I mean, it was awkward for a while, like, just seeing the letters. It's like, well, you moved quick. Did you guys actually witness the couple there, or did you just see the letters on the runway? No, no, we didn't see the couple. We just saw the guy taking off.

But you said it was awkward. Like, what do you mean it was awkward? For a minute just to see that. And, you know, she made a joke about it. And, you know, we moved through it pretty quick but because it's got to be hard to witness somebody do something ultra romantic right in front of you on your first date and then have to try and come off looking smooth you should have done a sign that's like ready to go to the bar now attached it to a little paper airplane and tossed it in front of her but i mean it sounds like you were able to make it work Did you end up going with her to the bar? Well, we did, but it kind of died there.

Uh-oh. Why? While we were there, you know, we went in this whole, like, big romantic gesture and everything. I think we're all kind of hyped up on looking at planes and everything. Yeah. She really wanted to go up in a plane. She wanted me to take her up. Wait, she knew that you didn't have your license yet, right?

I think she just thought we could sneak away with it and, you know, just have, like, this spontaneous romantic adventure in the sky. What does this girl want, a death wish? I know. Like, I would meet some random dude who takes me out to a little airfield with some Cessnas and think, hey, pull me up in that plane. Well, it wasn't just that.

She wanted to sit in the cockpit, too, but I had to tell her no. Even just to take pictures, I'd want to do that. Right, that's just getting experience, but it's more like an educational lesson, it seems like. Like, that's an airplane, that's an airplane, that's another airplane. Okay, let's get out of here.

It's a good hook for a future date, though. It's like, well, if you stick around, then maybe I will be able to fly. After what, hundreds of flight hours? No. Well. I mean, it kind of paints you, too, as like you continually having to say no, no, no on a date that you're kind of like not fun.

Do you know what I mean? And I don't think that of you, but I could see from her perspective. I mean, I guess, but I'm at my flight school. I didn't want to get dinged. So I thought just showing her would be enough. I mean, how did you leave it on the day? How did it end? The sparks kind of died down towards the end.

I mean, I still like her and i i think we had a good time i just you know i don't know what else i could have done and she hasn't responded to you at all no okay it's almost like it backfired like you tried to impress her and you ended up like killing sounds like maybe you should have stolen a plane and taken her up anyway. That's not Grand Theft Auto. It would have been hot. Yeah, it would have been a rebel move. Bold thing to do. But let's play a song, come back, and call Lauren for you.

Try to get you a second date update. All right. Okay, hold on. Second date update. Muscular dudes flying around in F-16s. Yeah. Buzzing the tower doing an inverted dive against a Russian MiG before jetting off into the sunset.

I mean, close. All of that was not allowed on Cameron's first date. He could just point at the planes parked on the tarmac and say, hey, isn't that one kind of cool looking? it's not mine so let's move away I can't even show you inside that's because Cameron doesn't have his pilot's

license yet but he was able to show Lauren around the airfield where he's learning yeah which is cool and she was interested in it I mean he told her that yeah but to make matters worse while they were there they saw someone else proposing with a giant Will You Marry Me banner. And so after all that excitement at the airfield, the date kind of fizzled after that. But Cameron, today, we're going to be your goose for this second date update. We're going to pull him out of his nosedive? Is that what you're thinking? We're going to try.

Just please promise me that you're not going to eject until we hit the sweet spot. Can you do that? Because that didn't turn out so well for Goose. That's really nice of you guys. Wait, no spoilers. What happened to Goose? Yeah, I haven't seen it yet. I haven't seen the new one. No, that's the old one. Oh, okay, okay, okay.

That was my joke. Good thing we're all up on our Top Gun knowledge. Yeah, whatever. But bottom line is we're going to call Lauren and see if we can get you another date here. You feel ready, man? I'm ready. Let's do it. Okay.

And this next date, you know, you just make it a little bit more about her and maybe she'll be more into it. Yeah. And we'll just hope that there's not a lot of turbulence. Okay. We've had enough. It's like flying. I think there's more airplane puns coming. Yeah, I'm trying to hold them back.

I'm sorry. Let's dial this number and talk to Lauren. Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Lauren? Yeah, Lauren. Who's this? Hey, my name's Jeff from a morning radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

A morning radio show. Yeah! Hey, Lauren, we're all here. Hey. Good morning! Sorry, did we wake you up? No, I've actually just never heard of this show. I don't know what's going on here. Well, we're on Spotify, too, if you listen to podcasts.

That didn't sound really sad and desperate. No. But we're doing a segment, a very popular segment. Very popular. Oh, yeah. Extremely well-known and beloved called Second Date Update. Okay. Clearly not beloved by Lauren.

But we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you went out with recently. And who was that? You guys went to an airfield together and then a bar. Cameron. I know exactly who you're talking about. Cameron seemed like a nice guy, like a good dude who wanted to show you a good time. A sex pot, if you ask me. That's the term that came to mind for me.

Just came out of nowhere. What did you think of Cameroneron it was a cool date um actually it was the coolest date i've ever been on what it was it was i was really interested in the planes and seeing them and everything and i was really happy because we didn't just go to the bar and hook up because that's what most guys want to do so his date was really what most girls want to do. Well, that I mean, that's great to hear. So, yeah, I mean, you weren't disappointed in the airfield at all because he was kind of worried about that, that maybe, you know, you expected to go up in a plane and you didn't or something.

No, but I was still excited to go. You know, airplanes are cool. Guys, girls, kids doesn't matter. Airplanes are just interesting. Absolutely. So if this is one of the best dates that you've ever been on, why not call Cameron back? Well, I said it was the most original date I've been on, and I liked his choice. But some things happened.

He made a comment later on, and it threw me off. Hold on, one comment? It doesn't seem like he remembers that i mean do you think it registered with him that he said something that upset you of course can i tell you guys what he said yes please because nothing's ringing a bell for us so i don't know if he told you there was this weird part where we saw a plane taking off and it was a proposal oh yeah he mentioned that to us the big will you marry me banner yeah and it was that was pretty weird but as the plane was taken off it was the comment that he made that he expects the woman to ask him to marry him so i better be taking notes

oh was he serious or was he kidding that sounds sounds like a joke. No, I laughed. He said he was a feminist, so he believes that women should be able to ask men to marry them. Okay. Is that a bad thing? Yeah, why is that bad? Because maybe I'm more traditional, but in my dream, the man is supposed to propose to me. I thought maybe this could be a great dream. If it turns out good good then he'll do that for me you know oh no he kind of took your dream away i mean it's a first date like maybe

he's just trying to read you as an independent woman and he thought that that would be something that you would also stand behind you know like you don't know for sure that he would never propose to you right like he's just making a simple comment he said for sure you need to ask me to marry you wow even if it was a woman coming to a man it would be a strange comment on the first day we didn't know that we didn't know that any of that was coming up in conversation between you guys he didn't mention it but maybe we should ask him about it because i mean i don't know what your dreams say about your perfect man maybe you're dreaming that he's on the other line listening

dreams do come true because cameron's been there the whole time and wants to talk to you yeah i didn't realize that set you off really what what do you mean you don't realize that set me off cameron you're a madman what does that mean on the first date why would you say i need to ask you to marry me why would you i'm letting you know that i'm a feminist and i'm you know i'm into the cause and whatever and you know i just want you to know that up front you know i want you to know that you know you have i believe you have you know agency and i think assertive women are sexy and okay but so cameron you believe that all women should be proposing to men or just lauren to you no i think all women should be doing that okay i want to just empower women to propose like i think it's going to be healthier for our society is this so you

don't have to pay for a ring i don't because I get what you're trying to say, and I appreciate any man who, you know, is open to the feminism. Don't listen to her. She's not a feminist. But you'd be open if the woman wanted you to propose, you would be open to then taking on that role, right? I mean, I could, but, you know, I'd find a way to screw it up. You know, I'd put'd put like a ring on a

kfc chicken wing or something you know what i mean like guys are just like not good at that i think you know my mom proposed to my dad and it was really romantic okay so you want you want what your parents have in a relationship you want to marry your mom i'm having this conversation before. It's always mixed. Some guys are all about it and other guys are like, no, I want to ask like traditionally. So maybe it's just kind of a more of a surprise to her. Yeah. I mean, Lauren, is this a first for you?

Have you, have you never met a guy like this? This is a first and only and a one and done. Is that much of a deal breaker for you? A deal breaker completely. Like, especially after I saw that romantic couple going out, I wanted that immediately. And he immediately, like, crushed my dream with that. Maybe, Cameron,

it's so you don't bring up marriage on a first date. Never do it. Well, we're coming in for a rough landing here, but I've got to ask before we crash. There was turbulence. Lauren, we'd like to offer to send you out on another date with Cameron, and we'll let you pay it as a feminist. No, we won't even offer.

Yeah, that's what a good feminist man would do. You guys are really, I think we need to do some more research into feminism. Yeah, I don't know a lot about it. I think Brooke has to pay. Honestly, Lauren, I do think I know your answer, but I need to hear it from you. It's a very strong no from me, guys. Oh, boy. That's all right.

I mean, Cameron, you can't be too disappointed. Like, she doesn't seem like the right person for you. I mean, I guess not. I mean, she is making her own choice, and, you know, I'm all for that. Hey! I love this. I think that's sexy. If she wants to set women back another 50 years by not proposing, then that's good for her.

Exactly. We'll be right back. Jeffrey in the morning. Jon Stewart is back in the host chair at The Daily Show, which means he's also back in our ears on The Daily Show Ears Edition podcast.
