Alexis, how do you feel about a guy bringing you a gift on a first date? Do you like a guy to have a present or do you require it?

Well, I was gonna say it depends what it is, you know Like I require something but okay Like money's preferred don't show up. Okay, just cash exchange That takes the date to a different type of relationship whatever Alexis is into But I only asked one of our listeners says he showed up to his first date with a special surprise for his lady And it wasn't your stereotypical flowers with a box of plan B Plan B. That should not be it. That's considerate.

I think that Plan B is thoughtful. I mean, it'll come in handy at some point. Guys! Alexis' mom didn't use it and she came about, but you know what? Where's the romance, you guys? That is romantic. That should be prepared as hot. Okay.

Oh my gosh. We're going to get to the gift specifically in a second, but first, Kyle is the one who emailed us, so welcome to the show, man. Hey guys, how you doing? Oh man. We're giving you all sorts of ideas for your next date Kyle. I don't even want to know your gift Kyle, like I'm scared. I want to know. We do, but first tell us about this lucky lady that you met.

Where did you meet her? So we met online on one of the apps. Okay. And we clicked, I thought she's really hot and I hope she, I think she liked me. Alright. What's her name by the way? Did you even catch that in the profile or who cares? Yeah. She's really hot and I hope she I think she liked me Did you even catch that in the profile or who cares Her name is Sarah

But what made I mean there's a lot of hot girls on the dating apps like what made her Stand out so much that you wanted to bring her a surprise gift back with him It's that easy that right well, you know It is like a visual medium. So I mean she was really pretty. I'll just say it. She's really pretty You want to buy her affection I see Is that how it was that you're making it seem like weird I just asked them why she stood out nobody had an answer It's hot. Well, that's what dating is stood out nobody had an answer besides hot well that's what dating is just go watch a 90s movie and get your jolly off there like book carts at the grocery store and then like most people have a connection that's all I'm saying besides

not in the modern dating world no that's not true we talked to so many okay we are getting off track I'm not gonna argue about this anymore. I apologize. She has no idea how modern dating works Well, so we started talking about TV shows, okay, and I asked her what would her favorite show was and she said she didn't own a TV Whoa, that's wild. I went through a phase like that Living by yourself like you just watch your shows on your laptop. You don't need the TV is that what it is Like you just watch your shows on your laptop. You don't need the TV. Is that what it is? Well, she her roommate had the TV and she moved out and so she just never got it another

Okay Okay, so that's not doesn't sound like a lot of bonding if you're talking about your favorite TV shows and she doesn't own a TV The first conversation, you know, so on a whim, I bought her a TV. Whoa! Oh, that's awesome! Did you awkwardly carry it into a restaurant? I put it in my car. I see. For the record, TVs are not as expensive as they used to be.

I bought people TVs before. How many inches? 43 inches. That's not even big. It was a nice TV. It had Roku. Oh wow. Smart TV. What a nice time. Something like something my parents would say. Alright. And you said it was in the trunk of your car?

Yeah, I put it in my trunk. So I took it to the date and I told her, hey, I've got a surprise for you. What? There's no way she was expecting that. That is wild. You did it in front of her. Ed, wait, are we at the beginning of the date when you gave it to her or at the end? I pulled up and I showed her the TV. That is amazing, that is so cool. We've never heard a TV gift on the first date. Although I have heard of guys being like, hey, I have a surprise for you

in the trunk of my car. And then the story usually goes a totally different route. Yeah, because it's usually a shovel and some duct tape. Yeah. But wait, what was her reaction? Well, she was happy. She screamed. She was like, oh, this is amazing. Oh, wow. Wait, is that the tone? I feel like it's better after, because then you know if she actually likes you, but that's okay.

Ah, that's true. You could have also said, would have been like, we could either go back and try it out, Netflix and chill, or we can continue our date. Well, I actually installed it for her, too Did you guys go to dinner at all or did you was the TV the whole day at this point wondering yeah, we had dinner Oh you did I mean with the Roku probably girls are like that about TV's, but you know. You're such TV nerds in here. You don't think she was excited? You said she was. I mean with the Roku, probably, yeah. How did it go? Roku. I can't get over that.

So, yeah, I brought it up to her apartment, and I hung it up on the wall, and then, you know, we watched TV. And I spent the night on the couch, and she went to her room. Nothing happened, but... Okay. She invited you to spend the night, right? Yeah, we were just watching TV, and she fell asleep. She went to go sleep in her bed. happened, but OK, she invited you to spend the night, right? We're just watching TV and she fell asleep. She went to go sleep in her bed. OK. Well, she must have been just took the couch on. And, you know, but that's like a good comfort level. Like you meet somebody on a first day and you allow them

not only to come to your house, but to stay the night. That's good. That's good. That's a good sign that she trusts you. So what's happened since then? Well, so we hung out one other time, but it was like kind of short. And I don't know, I was just getting like a weird vibe from her.

Okay. Please tell me you did not ask for the TV back after this all happened. We definitely have guys on the show who've been hurt and they've asked for like, oh, well now I want half of my bill back because she doesn't want to see me anymore. No, no, I'm not that petty.

I was thinking she'd say, oh, I had a computer, but my roommate took it. Oh, you know. Oh, she wants more. Yeah. I think she's just, you opened the world of Netflix and chill for her now. I think she's busy.

Yeah. She's busy. Yeah. She's catching up. She's got to invite people over. Or she's just chilling by herself. Yeah, true. Well, we'll find out when we call her

and see if she even picks up and takes a break from watching murders in the apartment or whatever In the building I didn't watch it So, but we'll find out what she's doing Murders in the apartment That should be the sequel But for now we're focused on our second date update when we come back right after this

Second date update I think all of us have imagined going on to a giant game show one day, winning and taking home an awesome prize like a 43 inch smart TV with Roku. But a girl named Sarah didn't have to do all of that.

She just had to go on one date with our listener, Kyle, who gifted her a brand new flat screen. Just because she mentioned she didn't have a TV. And she showed up, it wasn't even at the end. Yeah. Yeah. It's all because her roommate had taken her last one

when she moved out, but after installing it for her and watching it together, she's been acting a little bit weird. Those are Kyle's words and he doesn't know why. They hung out a second time, but apparently it was so short that there's not even a description of the hangout. Yeah, it was like it was that bad I don't know what the reasoning is, but we're about to call Sarah here in a second, but Brooke What are you thinking? What are your thoughts before we reach out to Sarah?

I don't know Maybe it was just too much too quick cuz she's like she didn't ask for the TV even though she was excited about it She didn't ask for the TV even though she was excited about it Too big of a TV is what Brooks said you should have gone like a 30 inch maybe one that had a VHS player in it But Kyle we're gonna try our best to do this for you, okay, all right I really appreciate it. Yeah, if she doesn't agree to another date Are you gonna be regretful about the TV gift or do you have a backup gift just in case? That's a good idea. Do you guys have any free giveaways or anything like that? Oh, we don't we're gonna give you a gift card at the end of this

You want to thank us by giving us a TV in return that's up to you We're not gonna pressure you but most guests do give us something as a thank you gift I have four TVs in my trunk right now Nice ones or else you would have installed them in your house, but still whatever it is It's up to you. Let's call Sarah and see if she picks up here we go Hello, hey is this Sarah? Yes. Oh. My ass is calling.

Yes, you may. We're a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Not a TV show, a radio show. Who? She's really into TV now, Jeff. Yeah. We're Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. I'm Jeff.

I'm sorry, who? Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. My name is Jeff. Okay. That's the fourth time I've said it. She's not gonna know. You and Jeffrey in the morning. My name is Jeff. Okay. That's the fourth time I've said it. She's not gonna know. You don't know, we're a morning radio show.

Hey, hold on. Do you wanna know the name of our show? Hey. Because I have it. Can I help you? Sorry, she's not. You hopefully can help us because we are doing a segment called a second date update

and trying to get some answers for one of our listeners that you met up with the other night for a hot date two hot dates Okay, several dates. I don't know who you're talking about. Oh, I think you'll remember once we say his name. Yeah, Kyle Oh god Why He said that you're super pretty. Why is your reaction that way?

Because, oh my gosh. Ah! Dude, that sounds like you have a story and I am dying. Yeah, it does sound like it. Would you mind sharing a little bit because Kyle is totally confused. He doesn't know why there hasn't been another hangout. Is he?

Really? Yes. Yeah. Well, he knows the last time you saw him, it didn't go well. He must be truly obtuse. Oh my gosh. Obtuse? Obtuse?

Yeah. What'd you call him, triangle? He's not a cute. A good one, Brooke. Could you explain a little bit? Because we're totally in the dark. Okay. Have y'all ever had somebody buy you a TV on a first date?

No. Just like six or seven times, but yeah Not one with Roku he thought you were excited about that. Were you not? I mean it was thoughtful But I didn't know that it was get my to to come with all these things Okay, he's putting it up on the wall. Yeah, if you call you won't put the story you about to get the story We're starting with he's putting the TV up on your wall Yes, and while he's installing and everything he's like, I'm really into sports. I'm like, okay great and everything. That's cool Yeah, okay. So after it's all set up he kicks off his shoes and turns on the game the game what game Did he ask you if you wanted to watch it with him no no

Yeah, so he's just watching a basketball game and then he says hey, can you get some snacks for? Did he get the snacks for us? No he did not! No that is offensive! Maybe you need the full experience of what it's like to watch He's doing the test run for you He should be giving her the snacks then and putting her on I know what I'm saying! He just feels comfortable with you

He feels like he's hanging out He's trying to bond After one day? How did he stay the night then? Cause he said he slept on your couch Alright So he's so geeked up Yeah. How did he stay the night then? Cause he said he slept on your couch. Oh right. Yeah, okay. So he's so geeked up. He was like, man, the resolution, like the picture,

oh, this was a perfect place on the wall. And he's still watching the game and everything. It's a late night game. And so I was like, well, I'm going to bed. What, you didn't kick him out? No, that's why you went to bed. Maybe that's like the insinuation like, hey, I gotta go, time to, you know, screw you up.

Yeah, why don't you hop with me? No, I don't think she wants him there. I think it meant, like, you leave. Maybe you just take the TV with you at this point. He didn't get the hint? No, he did not get the hint. And I wake up, he's gotten so comfortable, he done went to the kitchen, made him a bowl of cereal,

and is watching a pickleball tournament. At least he's independent. Why did you hang out with him again? Oh my God. Yeah, he said there was a second hangout. That was what he said. Well, I guess the only time that I saw him was later on in the day when I got home from work.

He was still there? He stayed in my apartment all day. What? He was still there? Okay, hold on. Hold on. He's been in my apartment all day. What? He was still there? OK, hold on, hold on. Can I jump in here? I think it'd probably be a good time. Can I just say something?

OK. So Sarah, you should probably know that that's Kyle. He's been waiting on the other line wanting to talk to you. Oh my gosh. Well, actually, he's probably in your apartment right now, calling from your couch in front of the TV. But yeah. Are you kidding me?

He's on the phone. This is going way too far. Yeah. Okay, hold on. He's installed your TV up on the wall for you, so just let's give him a chance to explain himself. I wouldn't do that. He bought the TV and installed it. No, this is the problem with the gifts. Yep, that's exactly the problem with the gifts. Actually, she owes him nothing. But, but but but but maybe a good guy that you should hear out That's totally different than what I said All right, so I brought you dinner and I invited you to join me and i'm the bad guy is that so bad You brought pizza knowing I don't eat that

You didn't consider me at all Brought pizza knowing I don't eat that Consider me at all and you thought that you're in my house all day. I told you I want to bed I gotta go to work Before this blows up any further and you guys arguing about he said she said what is the pizza about Dinner I didn't think that you just brought pizza to her house. No, this is when he was still at my house. Okay, so this is the second night after you guys hung out the first time and he brought dinner too? He stayed till it was evening the next day? What a romantic.

No, no, no, no. Jeffrey's being sarcastic. Dude, it's like an unwritten rule. If you stay the night at somebody's house, you leave in the morning when they leave. Okay, but this was the second night, so what's the rule about the second night? Yeah, the rule is you bring pizza. No. That's a good man.

The rule is that you leave. You're G.O. when I said I gotta go to bed. Yeah. Because is it just me or does she say, she sounds ungrateful, right? I mean Am I crazy I have not heard a thank you one time from her Thank you. I haven't heard she already thanked you when you gave it to her. She's not thanking me now She's just complaining that I'm watching sports. That's what you do with a TV.

Okay. Kyle, I need you to understand this. It's not your house. So I'm gonna need you to come and get this TV, all right? If you want it, I'm putting it outside, but I am done with this. Oh, somebody's inviting you over Kyle. No, I think she said he-

Yeah, that sounds like an invite. Do you want pepperoni? You want cheese? He knows to bring pizza. And we are going to provide the gift card for that pizza. I think that Teeba's going to be on the corner, Kyle. He will be on the corner. He will not have any access to my apartment.

Oh. OK. So this is not as romantic as this. Maybe text the address of the corner in case one of us wants to swoop by. Oh. You know, Alexis is in the market for a huge TV. It's a nice TV.

There you go! You don't put like a free sign on or anything. Oh. I want to know when it's out there, I'm gonna come by and I'm gonna get it. Okay. There better be like at least a hundred dollar bill lying on the ground. Oh, but uh, what? That sounds like a no, I'm sorry Kyle, but I guess we learned the lesson,

never give a woman a gift on a first date ever. No, that's, just be normal. You know what if there's no middle ground Jeffrey. Let's go with that Finally we agree on something Looking Jeffrey in the morning Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning We're getting too many nos lately broke not getting enough. Yeses, and it's starting to make me lose faith in love Somebody here isn't doing their job is all I'm saying. It's not me, it's the guy! He could have just gone home that night and he would have had another date. It is not my fault.

Okay, fair. But Brooke, is there any way that maybe next time we get a guy on the phone who spends 48 straight hours at a girl's place in his underwear watching nothing but sports, Can you at least try to spin it into a romantic thing? Just try. It sounds like marriage. You're a little bit... That romantic? Okay. Is that good?

I'm just saying you're leaving me on an island doing all the heavy lifting, standing up for our listeners. You're throwing them right under the bus. I started by saying it was good that she let him stay because it obviously meant she trusted him. I didn't know that it obviously meant that he didn't get the messages.

Okay, you're still on the pessimistic train. We need you to hop back onto the optimism train and stand up for our listeners right or wrong. Oh, I have a headache. We'll toss some Advil at you. Email the show if you have a very easy, simple dating life that we could fix without having to stand up for you. I like the messy ones. Those ones are kind of fun. Email the show, we'll call that person who's not calling you back.
