Who says that? No one says that. We say that. Is this a book? But what if she's burning literally because she ate her food too quickly when it was hot and it seared her mouth? It's better than a candle on the table that she leaned over and her hair went up in flames. Spicy. So I guess that's what happened to one of our listeners, Julie, who sustained

a little oral injury on her first date. Haven't we all? Julie, two questions. One, are you out of the hospital yet? And two, did you meet any hot doctors you could throw Alexis' way? Thank you. I mean, I didn't actually go to the doctor.

I was just kidding. It wasn't great. Okay. Oh, sorry, Alexis. Why don't you start at the beginning? Tell us about the guy that you met. What's his name? Okay, well, I met this really nice guy named Dennis.

We met on Bumble. We talked, I'd say, probably three, four weeks. Oh, that's a long time to talk to somebody before you met in person. Why? I mean, you know, just being cautious and taking our time and we really were enjoying just the conversation but we both worked full time and it was just kind of hard to find a time that worked for both of us all right okay but i don't seem to be on the same page with me on so many things and like we just oh we have so much in common oh good i mean like if you're talking that much before you meet someone in person there's probably a

lot of pressure on the first time you actually see each other right because it all comes down to that you've already invested so much time true yeah so pressure's on what'd you guys end up doing for your date we had a really nice time going to a build your own pizza place build your own pizza oh that's cool i love those places i always put all artichokes and that's it just pile on the artichokes that's my specialty on a date yeah well i've done it before with veggies old press girls so wait no like build your own pizza like the subway style where you tell them to put everything on or no it's a place where you literally, like, you knead the dough. There's a topping bar. You pick out what you put on the pizza. So the dough is, like, pre-made.

You just knead it. And you just put the stuff on top of it and they cook it for you. That's still awesome. I want to do this. But what did you think when you saw him for the first time? Like, did he match up to his pictures?

Was there chemistry? There was pizza in the room, Brooke. Nothing else matters except the pizza. I mean, so he looked great. He wasn't as into the pizza as I was. Like, not in a bad way, but just in a, like, oh, he could tell it was my thing. Got it. I mean, we can tell that.

Yeah. I like it. Okay. And so the pizza came out, and he was very nice. And he said, you know, you worked so hard on it. Why don't you take the first bite? And I was just, right? Like, so polite.

So you're the one that has to burn the roof of your mouth. Oh, no. Smart. I mean, it's always the first bite, right? I mean, that is exactly what happened. Oh. Oh, this is where the burning comes in. Oh, my God.

I thought it was just spicy burning. I forgot. Oh, no. So I took a bite, and it was so hot. It was so hot that I had to spit it out. Like a child who was eating something that they didn't like the taste of. Oh, my God. That is the worst, when it's actually blistering.

And the cheese is, like, stuck on the roof of your mouth, and you can't get it off. How did Dennis react when that was happening? I'm cringing. I mean, he was so sweet. He was trying so hard to help at one point he reached across the table and tried to like put water in my mouth it was just making a mess and the pizza was ruined and it was fine but we kind of just decided to to call it for dinner and just go for a walk oh my god and you're like distracted because like

literally blisters are forming on the roof of your mouth also you're talking like this the whole time because you don't want to like can i have a cup of ice yeah so bad sometimes you have the excess skin i know let's not talk about was the walk okay let's focus on the walk how'd the walk go so the walk seemed fine he walked me to car, and of course he has a first aid kit. And he gets out some gauze. What are you going to do with gauze? It's on the inside of your mouth. He insisted that I put it on the roof of my mouth.

What? I'm guessing that he's not a doctor. He's trying. He's trying. He's trying to help. He's trying to help. He's trying to help. I've been the one who's made a fool

of myself at this point, so I just kind of go with it. Oh, no. Like, no. Spray some lidocaine in your mouth. I know.

I was going to ask, did he put, like, ointment in there? Like, what did he do? No, it was just, like, a Neosporin kind of ointment. So it kind of sounds like the burn was the focal point of the whole nightorin kind of. So it kind of sounds,

it kind of sounds like the burn was the focal point of the whole night. It kind of ruined your momentum. If anything, you guys were focused on that too much. You think? I mean, I would have loved to have not focused on it, but it didn't seem to be the problem. Cause we walked up to like a playground essentially.

We were just kind of sitting and chatting. And of course like me chatting was a little difficult, but like he said, he. We were just kind of sitting and chatting. And of course, like me chatting was a little difficult. But like, he said he wanted to kiss me. And he was so sweet. And I was like, you know, my mouth is damaged. There's literal gauze in it. How are you going to kiss me? Let me change it out with my tongue.

Did you kiss him anyway? He kept getting closer to my face. And he was so sweet. And so I just kind of like turned over my shoulder and spit out the gauze. Oh, no. And then you kissed him? He was still into it, guys. That's the thing.

He was into it, and we had this amazing kiss, and it, like, it didn't tickle. I have a weird feeling about him. How weird does that kiss taste? Do you guys think? Neil's foreign gauze breath. Come on. He was into you, though though that's what the important thing is it says a lot that it was still nice if you have chemistry through all that that's actually really good are you telling me he hasn't called you or anything after that so here's where i'm so confused because we were texting for

like three or four days after and then all of a sudden he just drops off the face of the earth. What? And you know his bumble is gone like the profile is gone. Oh, what are you going to message him? That's not a good sign. What was the last thing you guys talked about?

I mean the last thing we talked about was trying to set up a second date. Oh boy. Maybe there's another woman that he's stuffed gauze into her mouth. That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm like, oh, he's married. He's in a relationship. He's cheating.

Or instead of a first-degree burn, she got like a third-degree burn, so she's way more attractive. Hotter, yes. He likes burn victims. As hot as it can get. Well, we'll see what happens. Let's play a song. We'll come back.

We'll call Dennis for you, and we'll try and get you a second date update, okay? Okay, thank you. All right and get you a second date update. Okay? Okay. Thank you. All right. Hold on. Second date update. I could just see Julie years from now telling this story to her grandchildren about how she met grandpa.

And she says, then he looked deep into my eyes, stroked my cheek and said, I want to kiss you. And I replied, okay. And that's how love lasts forever. Because at the time, Julie's mouth was stuffed with gauze after she burned it on a build-it-yourself pizza. Which makes the kiss sound so dry. Yeah.

Doesn't it? But in her defense, I think we've all ended up with weird stuff in our mouths at the end of a first date. on a build-it-yourself pizza. Which makes the kiss sound so dry. Yeah. Doesn't it? It really does. But in her defense, I think we've all ended up with weird stuff in our mouths at the end of a first date. So even though the night ended on a sweet note, Dennis has suddenly stopped responding

and even took down his dating profile. I don't think it's a successful date unless you don't have something weird in your mouth. That's a good point. It's a rule of mine. Not great signs at the end there. Julie, how you feeling?

I mean, I just want to know what the heck is going on. I'd be mad. I'd be mad if I were you. Just because you spent so much time talking to this guy. And it's his fault. He didn't even take the first bite. And he was being so sweet, like, leading you, like, down this road where it really felt like you were starting something with him.

I'm pissed. Okay. Well, I would recommend not being mad at him when we get him on the phone because would you it's probably not gonna go well if you're just mad at a guy if you actually want to see him again but that's brooke's strategy you can do whatever you want to do anyway i'm gonna dial his number now we'll see what he has to say okay okay i really hope this works out. I just feel like they don't make them like this anymore. Yeah, no, you're right. There's not a lot of guys anymore who just carry gauze on themselves these days.

But we'll see what he has to say. Here we go. Unless they're driving an ambulance. That's true. Hello? Hey, is this Dennis? Speaking. Hey, Dennis, my name's Jeff from the radio show

Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, or some people call it Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. No. What up? On mornings from 6 to 10, start your commute right with Brooke and Jeffrey. Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey. Why are you guys doing that?

Have you heard of us before? Maybe? Not really. If it was that that rang a bell for people, we have to question, I mean, everything that we've been doing. We've got to redo the show. I don't know. He hasn't heard of us, so the marketing, whatever we're doing right now, is not working. Okay.

But we're calling because we're doing a segment called the second date update and one of our listeners trying to get a hold of you after you guys went out together her name's julie yeah yeah julie you say that so casually i didn't know i julie's great i really like julie good okay that's good to hear yeah okay i guess we're a little bit confused because according to julie you guys haven't really been communicating lately and you also removed your dating profile yeah you know to be honest i have been on social media i had to delete my profiles and everything and all your profiles yeah well okay so first let me just say this like we had a great time i think julie's

great there was nothing wrong or any problems with that. I guess it's kind of just inopportune timing. Why? Because you're married or something? No, that would be really creepy. The last 10 years of marriage went a little inopportune. Went to the worst case scenario. It just seems so weird.

She told us that you guys have been talking for three or four weeks. You finally meet up. You have this amazing date, according to her. I mean, maybe you felt differently, but it sounded great. And then you talk for a minute and then you just dropped off. Yeah, no, I can understand that. And there is facts to that. There is truth to that.

I've just I don't know. I mean, I'm in a spot right here. So let me explain what's going on. Yeah. And we can go from there. Sure. What's happening, man? So unbeknownst to me, a friend of mine, he kind of signed me up for this popular Netflix

dating show. Is it Love is Blind? Oh my God, is it Love is Blind? You probably can't talk about it because whenever you do those, you have to do like an NDA so that you don't spill the secrets before you do it. So let me know, is it love is death? Yeah. Oh, no.

Wink, wink. Wait, have you been selected? Have you gone through the casting process? Yeah, so that's kind of what I'm getting to. So apparently they've had a lot of people that are signing up for this. And they're looking to pick 12. And right now I'm in the top 20 according to them and I've talked to the producers and everything and I've even submitted my deposit

for it and wait deposit I thought you they paid you to do these things so I guess how it works is you get your deposit back in the end because you know they need photo and video of you and everything so if you take people to come out and do interviews. You pay them? Yeah. Are you sure this is like a Netflix show or did some random person ask you to do this? Yeah. I mean, my friends applied.

You know, they, I don't know. I've never done this before. I don't know. I think everybody in this room right here, like, we're a little concerned you're getting scammed. Yeah, because when you work with SAG sag and stuff they don't work like do you know where your friend found this show like where he came across this opportunity i mean she said craigslist oh no yeah i don't know is netflix advertising on craigslist right now i doubt it dennis wait how much money have you given these people? Yeah. The initial deposit was $1,500. Whoa! $1,500 for pictures?

You better be flying to Tahiti for those pictures. Wait, have you taken pictures? No, not yet. Oh. It's before the pictures. Oh, my God. I was jealous, and now I'm not. That's not how it works, my friend.

Believe me, this is real. I mean, I've talked to producers over Zoom. I saw them. They gave me the rundown of, you know, how this whole thing works. And so I'm kind of dealing with this right now and it's kind of a lot. And we have NDAs. You're not supposed to say anything or, you know, even in terms of being online for dating websites and stuff. You know, we had to get off of those, which is why I deleted all my profiles and everything and julie and i had a wonderful time you know i've been wanting to reach out to

her i just don't know if that's okay yeah well the good news is you don't have to think about how to do it anymore because dennis i gotta tell you julie's been on the other line listening this entire time. Yeah. I didn't know Julie was on the phone. Yeah. Julie? Hi, Dennis. Hey, I'm sorry about not reaching out to you. I've been kind of confused as to what to do, and the reason why I did it is I feel like this could be

a huge opportunity for me and my career. Dennis, I'm going to be honest with you, but you didn't handle any aspect of this well. It kind of sounds like you're being an idiot about it. Oh. That's not really nice. Okay. Dennis.

Which part of it seems skeptical to you, Julie? Which part doesn't? I mean, maybe the part where he gave $1,500 to a random person on Craigslist. Huh. Are you telling me that's not a normal thing to do? I'll be honest with you. I mean, I can hear the tone in your voice, and I think it's going to be a lot funnier when I'm on Netflix and y'all are watching me on TV.

Oh, dude, I hope it's true. They do make shows about people who got scammed. So I'm very naked on that. It might not be the network show you were thinking. Dennis, we're not trying to, like, you know, poop on your career band or your dreams. Like, we like that. We want you to dream big.

We just want you to not get taken. In the meantime, you're ruining chemistry with a really good chick who likes you vicariously. I know. Julie has been saying great things about you this entire time, man. Well, thank you. meantime you're ruining chemistry with a really good chick absolutely vicariously i know julie has been saying great things about you this entire time man well thank you i mean i i feel the same about her i just feel this is a great opportunity for me right now and if it is the case and it's either i don't get picked or something happens with the show then yeah i would love to go out

with her i forgot to mention it but this is the point of the segment where i need to get your credit card because it costs fifteen hundred dollars to do a second date. Not a lot of people know that. I mean, if the right things are going right now, would you mind throwing me an extra $1,500? I mean, she got you on a radio reality dating show. That's right. You sound like a bunch of comedians. I am. thank you very much that's a very nice thing of you to say okay i don't know if it's a compliment coming from i'm not joking at all when i say i would really like to send the two of you out on another date

and we will pay for it if you're interested what do you say dennis i mean yeah i would really like that i again i have to see about protocol for it but i mean you're interested, what do you say, Dennis? I mean, yeah, I would really like that. Again, I have to see about protocol for it, but I mean... Oh, you're going to vet us? Is that what you just said? He doesn't believe that we're legit. No, he doesn't know if he's allowed to go on a date with her. Yeah, of course. Yeah, I don't think they're going to be answering you anytime soon.

Well, you know, if that's the case, then yeah, I would love for you to pay for us to go out again. You're going to need a free meal. Okay, Julie, it's a conditional yes based on what the producers say. What's it for you? I mean, if he's going to wait around

for the Craigslist guy to give him permission to take me on a second date, then it's not really worth my time. When you put it like that, it sounds really bad. He's not just a Craigslist guy, he's a producer that's on Craigslist. Oh, okay.

That's really good. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. They say when you're dating, it's important to find somebody that has a good financial sense. Right? Why are you laughing? Because that guy did it. Might have been a little bit off

But at least you found a guy who's investing in himself Well I don't think he is though Okay maybe he's Might be investing in some guy named Gary Off of Craigslist But he's an investor of some sort I would say he's trustworthy

Would be an admirable trait To a fault Loyal definitely Not jaded Like we are. You could just tell in Julie's voice that it couldn't have been a bigger turnoff that he was giving money to some guy

off Craigslist hoping to become famous. Oh, God. And he just really thinks it's going to be his career jump off. Like, no matter what we said, he wouldn't believe us. You could hear in his head, like, it didn't click yet. You know, he hasn't had that moment of like, wait a minute. I don't think that moment of like, wait a minute. I don't think that moment's going to come for him.

I honestly don't. How much money do you think it's going to take before it happens? Another $1,500 at least. I would like to think, though, that we're going to log on to Netflix here in the next year. And we're all going to say, oh, we were wrong. That'd be some really sketchy business by Netflix, by the way. It's like Squid Game for dating. Yeah.

Oh, there he is. I'd watch that show. No wonder he had to pay. He had to fly to Korea. No wonder he spent so much money. Remember, if you ever want to get a second date update, email the show. We'll call the person who was in college back. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Ugh, we're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you. Someone else will too.
