Second Date Update. Meeting new people to date now is harder than it's ever been. The music makes it sound hopeful. Even with the dating apps, which are supposed to make things easier and more accessible for you, just end up stressing you out and disappointing you until you find yourself binge-eating Hostess cupcakes by yourself

at 3 a.m. in your apartment. Right, Alexis? Yeah, you're swiping left, left, left, left. Yeah, but all apps do is speed up rejection. Yeah. Quicker to get swiped on left. Thank you, Alexis. That's why I was really intrigued when one of our listeners sent us an email bragging that he has a dating life hack that helps him to meet women.

Okay. I know I want to hear about it. His name's Playboy Mark. What's up, Playboy Mark? Hey, hey, hey, hey. What's going on, everybody? That was the bad hey after the Playboy Mark comment. Is your last name Mark?

It's E-Mark, if you wanted to know. Mark E-Mark. Oh, Mark E-Mark. You're a smooth talker. You got like 30 nicknames, don't you, bro? I thought you guys would catch that, my bad. Okay. Well, we'll get to what your life hack is for dating in just

a second but first tell us about the woman that you met what's her name bianca the beautiful is that what you always call her to her face too uh yeah but i try not to use it too much because it gets a little corny okay yeah at least you're self-aware bro that's exactly what i was wondering you don't want to compliment them too much because then they get too confident and then they'll reject you. So just sprinkle in the compliments. And then all of a sudden they step up on the guys that they date and they don't want you anymore, you know? So you like Bianca because she's beautiful. I mean, did you have another connection with her?

Well, before we get into Bianca the beautiful, I'm interested in the life hack. So what is your life hack for dating? I'm not sure. I don't know if I want to share it the Beautiful. I'm interested in the life hack. So what is your life hack for dating? I'm not sure if I, I don't know if I want to share it, guys. Well, you sent it in the email, so you better do it. You put it in the tease. Is that a threat, Jeff?

Are you worried that people will judge you or are you worried that people will steal your life hack? Yeah, I don't, a little bit of both. Let's go with that. I think people are going to judge me a little bit

and I don't want them to steal it. Okay. I guess I can reveal it to you guys. We're all family here, right? Nobody's going to hear this. No one listens to our show. That's right. My mom listens a lot.

Okay. So basically, I'd use Facebook Marketplace. Oh, where people sell stuff on Facebook. It's like the new Craigslist. Yeah. And I like to go in there, and I look for women who are selling their wedding dresses because, you know, obviously

they may be single. They're obviously single. Really? I think that is obviously they're married and don't need the dress anymore. Well, you know, you gotta do a little intel. You do have to get that kick. Sure. And I reach out and let them know that I'm interested and let them know that i'm interested and let

them know that i'm looking for my sister i so you stalk their facebook page to make sure they're single first we're not going to use words like stalk okay peruse yeah you want to find out how sad and low they are in their life like can, can I jump on them at this point? It does feel like you're picking up the wounded animal of the pack. I mean... No, we're going to say I specialize in emotional fulfillment. Okay. All right.

So are you saying that's how you met Bianca, through the Facebook Marketplace wedding dress area? I sure did. Yes, I did. I reached out to her, and I showed interest that I wanted to purchase the dress. And we actually met up at a coffee shop,

and I purchased the dress. Oh, you actually bought it. Oh, wow. Do you have a closet full of wedding gowns? Okay, let's not put any secrets out right now. All right. Anyway, I bought the dress, but she didn't leave right away we sat down and

we actually uh had some coffee and kind of had it we kind of hit it off nice wow let's say listen bianca i'm really enjoying your company i love to have a date a real date and i mean from the looks of it and the energy that i felt hey i, I thought it was a go. Oh, okay. So does that mean it wasn't a go? I mean, I haven't heard from the lady since. Oh, you never went on the date. At any point when you were at the coffee shop with Bianca, did you talk about her romantic situation?

Do you know if she's divorced? Or the wedding never happened? Yeah, maybe it wasn't her draft. Did you get the background? She's recently divorced and she was just looking for someone like myself, you know, someone who's full of energy, outgoing, and could really help her get her mind off that guy.

Someone like you to date or to buy the dress? I thought it was somebody to date, but maybe it was just to buy the dress. But I mean, I haven't heard from her since. I don't know if it was something I said, or maybe I put something in my coffee, one of the ingredients that she didn't like. I don't know what...

What? You got too much cream in there. Maybe it was too many sugars, too many cream. I don't drink guys that use two packs. I've heard that before. You seem a little bit like a smooth talker, Playboy Mark. And maybe when you first reached out to her,

she thought she was getting this really sweet guy who's looking out for his sister, and then boom, she met Playboy Mark, and that was not what she was expecting. I am a sweet guy. I believe it when you say it like that. I mean, it's worked over half a dozen times in the past year. I mean, it's wow. Wow. I think I got it down to a sign. So you have no idea what went wrong. I thought we hit it off. I mean, we smiled together as we walked out of the coffee shop. I took a deep breath. I almost felt like I met the one. Whoa. I feel like that's a big statement coming from you, my friend.

She's almost taken the playboy out of your name. Yeah, we're going to be done with the dresses. You know, it's going to be done. No more room in this closet here. Whoa. Oh, okay. Clean that up. I believe that.

This is a different version of 27 Dresses, so let's see what Bianca has to say. We're going to play a song. We'll come back. We'll call, and we'll try and get your second date update. Okay. All right, brother. Thank you. All right.

Hold on. Ladies, are you feeling sad and lonely after your recent divorce? Do you wish that some hunky guy would come along and offer to buy your old wedding dress from you and then sweep you off your feet? Does that sound kind of nice? Well, then you need to talk to Playboy Mark. Okay. His entire life hack for meeting women

is to find the hot single ones selling their old wedding gowns on Facebook Marketplace, slide into their DMs, and slowly turn them from divorcee into divorce bae. Oh. I love divorce bae. It's a different type of D, isn't it? Oh man, he still wants it.

And that's how Mark ended up meeting Bianca, who we're about to call here. But before we do that, Mark, you told us that you've used this strategy about a half a dozen times in the last year. How many of those encounters end up turning into actual dates or relationships for you all right you guys

getting into specifics and numbers i'm not sure if i want to reveal all okay can you just not count that high is that yeah yeah but listen if i was to say i'm batting around 50 which i think is pretty good. I would have you on my fantasy team if I had a dating fantasy team. Do you think there's any chance that Bianca found out that was the whole ploy and it was a turnoff for her? I hope not. And I would hope you guys would not tell her either.

Oh, that's what you're saying. Keep that a secret. Maybe don't introduce you as Playboy Mark. Just Mark. This is one girl Mark? Monogamous Mark? I like the Playboy. I like that.

Oh, you do like that? Really? Monogamous sounds good now. Okay. Monogamous. I think I'm just going to call you Mark when we dial her up. But here we go. Okay.

All right. I'm going to dial her number right now. Here we go. Hello. Hey, is this Bianca? This is she. Bianca, a.k.a this Bianca? This is she. Bianca, a.k.a. Bianca the Beautiful? I'm sorry?

Hi, Bianca. Hi. Who am I talking to? You're talking to the morning radio show, Brooke and Jeffrey, in the morning. Hi. Okay. How can I help you? We want to help you get back together with one of the coolest guys

that we've ever met before his name's mark otherwise known as playboy mark oh my goodness yes i i know who you're talking about oh shut up you know playboy wait i thought that was a nickname that jeffrey gave him i didn't come with that. He signed his email with Playboy Mark. Shut up. No, he didn't. Shut up. Bianca, that didn't sound like a good reaction from you. Listen, that date was different.

So, yeah. Oh, but you considered it a date too. In a sense. We met at like a coffee shop. I put my wedding dresses actually up. And he said he was buying it for his sister. Yeah. Yeah, we actually talked to him before this. And he told us the whole story about wait wait wait you talked

to him before this what is what is going on i'm confused well because yeah he hit us up and he wanted to know how he could get back in touch with you because your hangout for him went so well like he really liked you i mean don't get me wrong very likable guy i'm not even gonna lie very likable guy that's good are you single yeah yeah i'm single i've been divorced not too long um so you know i was kind of looking forward to kind of just hanging out but the issue was the aftermath of the date the aftermath tell me how you would feel right so the whole thing was me selling him my wedding dress for his sister. Yeah.

Well, after a couple of days, not even a week later, I'm back on Facebook, and he has reposted the dress, trying to sell it, and selling it for way more than what I gave it to him. It was like almost double what I gave it to him for. So at this point, it was kind of like, okay, so are you a scam artist? Or like, what was the purpose? So wait, though. so at this point it was kind of like okay so are you a scam artist or like what was the purpose so wait though i gotta say that's an unfair judgment like what if he brought it back to his sister and it didn't fit his sister or his sister didn't like it like why would that matter

to you if he was reselling it well to me it's given scam artists and that's just how i took it so i don't know like i just i mean maybe he didn't want to tell you, though, because he was worried that you'd be insulted that his sister didn't like the dress. Yeah, I think it's kind of harsh to just assume that he's a scam artist. I mean, would a scam artist be waiting quietly on the other line? Waiting on the other line?

Yeah, just quietly wanting to talk to you this entire time because that's what he's doing. Oh, my god bianca a scam artist really yes because what would make you take the dressing like you didn't you didn't even say anything to me about the dress didn't fit or she didn't like it or anything i thought all sales were final love i didn't think that had anything to do with you. You got your paper. I got mine.

All sales are final. Is that what you said? To me, that transaction is over. I was trying to make another transaction, if you know what I mean. I don't get what you mean. Are you talking like, is that an analogy? Yeah. Or are you talking about literally flipping the dress for more money?

We need to ask you directly. Did you bring it to your sister and she didn't like it? Or what happened with the dress? Well, not necessarily. Listen, guys, I don't want to reveal too much about myself, but I'm a fiscally responsible guy. Okay. I just utilize the dress as a way to get some money to take you out on a date. oh he's thinking of you oh wow i was thinking of you i mean it is pretty poetic that like your divorced wedding dress would then pay for a new date oh man yeah dude playboy bark just became poetic mark isn't it the thought that counts ladies i mean come on he's like he acts like he's just too cool. And like all these little lines and stuff that he has.

It's working on me. But then it was like, he was just so full of himself. He's confident. I'll give him that. I'm fine. Come on. Do you want a guy who doesn't think he's a nice looking guy or cream of the crop? Because if you do, that's me.

How are you? I mean, it does come off as a little cheesy. He calls himself Playboy Mark. That's like the number one. Hey, well, you guys can have that opinion. I haven't gotten any of the complaints from the other ladies

that I've made those dress transactions with the ladies. Uh-oh. So you're around here selling dresses for ladies and what? Like, what is your whole world? I mean, okay, okay, okay. Listen, guys, I wasn't.

Is that too much? It's a side hustle. I mean, come on. So now I'm a side hustle? You told me that this was for your sister. I mean, it's for somebody's sister. Somebody's sister's going to love it. Don't argue with that.

I love it because it gives me money. So you did this whole thing for money. Like, you weren't even interested in me. Hey, I wasn't sure based off your Facebook photo if I was going to be interested. But I swear you look so much better in person. I was just blown away. You probably need to take that photo down on Facebook. Oh, my gosh.

That's not a compliment, Mark. No. I thought you ladies wanted to be honest. No. Not you. We don't want opinions. That was pure a**hole-ish. That wasn't honesty.

Yeah. I just said you look beautiful in person. And this is how you guys see me? Yeah. That was so rude. See, I think a lot of women get intimidated when they meet a guy this smooth. Intimidated by something. He's whack.

I think Bianca's pretty smart. Smooth? That is not smooth. Bianca, listen, I'd love to take you out with this dress money. Playboy Mark, Mr. Mark, Marky Mark, whatever it is that you want to call yourself, I think I'm good. That's a no. Well, if you won't take his money for the date, you could take our money and we'll send you out on the date. Look at us flipping and hustling all over again.

As long as they're not a playboy in the beginning of their name, I think that will work. Oh, no, we're not setting you up with anyone else. It was another date with Mark. Oh, God. I mean, okay, so... Can we just put Mr. Mark in front? That works. Mr. Playboy Mark. Ooh, now you're a fish. That's got a ring to it. I don't know.

Mr. Playboy Mark, are you done buying wedding dresses from women? Like, are you done with that? If you're gonna give me a shot, I'll definitely consider it. Oh, he'll consider it. It's not very trustworthy, Mark. Yeah, I'm going to say no. Okay.

Sorry, Playboy Mark. Doesn't sound like we're going to get a date for you. Well, we tried, guys. Thanks. Mark, do you at least have any, like, fish on the reel right now? Anybody, any prospects that you're looking at? I would not like to reveal all of mine.

In other words, yes, he does. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. To be your best every day, you need proven quality sleep every night.
