When you think about meeting the one, you have this little mini movie in your mind about how that perfect meeting is going to go. You know, like you lock eyes across a crowded bar and you both silently say hey to each other. Or she catches you when you slip on a banana peel in the hospital cafeteria. Little slapstick moment, huh?

Is the coconut pie involved, Jeff? You accidentally touch hands as you both reach for the plane's emergency exit latch as the whole room fills with smoke. No, you go. No, you go. No, you first. You know, romantic, cute stuff like that.

We both have extreme anxiety. But one of our listeners, Daria, admits that her first meeting wasn't really rom-com quality. That's okay. But let's talk to her about it a little bit. Daria, welcome to the show. Hi. Hi, Daria. Hi.

I'm so excited to hear your story about how you met this person. Oh, well, how we met was definitely weird. It's not romantic whatsoever. Okay. Well, can we start with his name or her name? Derek. His name is Derek. Okay.

And this is, I'm sorry to jump to conclusions, but this is like the one? This is someone you- No, I think that was just- That was just me building it up probably a lot bigger than it really is. I thought she said, but this is like the one? This is someone you... No, I think that was just Jeff said it. That was just me building it up probably a lot bigger than it really is. I thought you said, like, this is the one. No, he's just trying to get people to pay attention to this. Oh, no, you got me paying attention. Okay, continue.

How was it weird when you first met? Well, he DMed me on Instagram. Ew, weird. No, that's normal. Oh, yeah, that's right. I think that's pretty normal. Yeah. What's weird about that wasn't really the weird part the weird part was that he said i saw you on bumble i'd love to meet up for

coffee oh okay wouldn't that be a red flag though that he's already stalked you down or no you can put your name in your bumble oh yeah you like link your socials in there. That's kind of normal. No, the weird part was I'm not on Bumble. Oh. Wait, that's weird. That's even more strange. Do you think it was just a line? Like he was just hoping that you were on Bumble and he just like uses it.

He's just spamming a bunch of girls with that. Yeah, it's just like a copy paste line that he puts on everybody's. That could work. I mean, that would have been better because I told him that he had the wrong person. I'm not on Bumble. And then he sent me a screenshot of the Bumble account.

What? And it was all my pictures. It was my name. No. But I didn't set that up. What? Someone's using your pics as a cat face. Which means you're attractive.

Yeah. What did you say? I kind of freaked out. I like oh my i was like that i that's me but it's not me i didn't set that up and derek's like well i already gave it all my credit card information he was actually really nice about it he was like i'm so sorry you must feel so weird i'll report it um but then he like asked if I still wanted to go out. I mean, at that point, maybe you're a little bit more receptive to it because he's not just randomly doing it to you out of the blue. Kind of disappointing that he's the only one that showed up in your DMs

and your account was linked, but okay. That's a good point. Yeah, I mean, I was up for it because, I don't know, he reported the account. He was really nice about the whole mix-up. And he was hot, let's be honest. He was hot. Yeah, that mean, I was up for it because, I don't know, he reported the account. He was really nice about the whole mix-up. And he was hot, let's be honest. He was hot. Yeah, we're hot enough.

I mean, this is more romantic than I was even leading on, I think. What did you guys do for your date? We just met up for coffee. It was very simple. I didn't really know what to expect from him. Okay. Well, I guess you would have zero expectations when you weren't even looking for a date to begin with you haven't even seen his profile like you don't know a little

bit his instagram she would have seen his instagram yeah but that's all i really had to go off of okay but he he turned out to be well one he was really cute i already knew that he was also really nice and it was very like comfortable and we were laughing a lot he thought his latte art looked like a bird and i was and it didn't it was just squiggles okay i called him out on that it was very funny it was like cute it was cute i think that's a nice word interpretive latte yeah okay how long did the date last because like coffee is like 25 minutes, 30 minutes. So this is the part that I don't know. At about 20 minutes, he said, I'm so sorry, but I actually have to get going.

Which I guess could have been bad. But then he was like, but I really want to see you again. Let's go out again sometime. So I left feeling like kind of good about it. God, but he just said sometime. I feel like you need to say, let's go out again sometime. So I left feeling like kind of good about it. God, but he just said sometime. I feel like you need to say, let's go out. I'm free next weekend. You have to book it like a doctor's appointment right when you leave.

Yeah, it's like when I run into friends that I don't really want to hang out with. And I'm like, oh, we should totally get together sometime. Yeah, soon. Yeah, let's do it. And it is like a doctor's appointment because I book it to their face and then I cancel it. But not to their face. So how long ago was that? This was a couple weeks ago.

Oh, wow. Have you heard nothing from him? I've heard nothing from him. And it's just weird because I wasn't looking for this guy. I came out of the blue and now I find myself thinking of him and wishing we could go out again. But, yeah, he's not responding.

Is he posting a bunch on Instagram, like on his stories or anything? Yeah, he's alive, and I know he's alive. Maybe he was traveling. We're starting with he's alive, and that's a pretty good place to start at with these second date updates. So hopefully we can go up from there. We've started at worse places. It's sad to say, but yes, that's true.

So let's call this a live guy. Oh, there we go. That's a good start. When we do your second date update next. Second date update. Well, it's another first for us about how people meet in the dating world. Oh, for sure. Because one of our listeners, Daria, got a DM recently on her Instagram from a dude who said he saw her on Bumble and thought she was cute. Yeah, which is a good DM to get.

Yeah. Except for. One problem. Yeah. She's not on Bumble. At least not to her knowledge until she received a screenshot of the profile using her pics and her information. We didn't ask. Did that profile get taken down? until she received a screenshot of the profile using her pics and her information. Oh, man. We didn't ask.

Did that profile get taken down? Well, she told him to report the fake account. Right. But if only one reporter, you have to have multiple accounts. Well, we can follow up with that. The important thing was afterwards, he boldly asked her out to coffee anyway, and she said yes. Yeah.

And now they're in love. No. Now he's not calling her back. Oh, okay. Yeah, after 20 minutes together. We're one now they're in love. No. Now he's not calling her back. Oh, okay. Yeah, after 20 minutes together. We're one step away from true love. There it is. You are putting so much pressure on this.

No, I'm not. Dating is easy, right, Daria? Yes. Uh-huh. Yes. So easy. Yeah, totally. My question is, why, Brooke, haven't we seen any reports about people using your pictures

as a fake profile on Bumble? What's going on with that? You're a celebrity. Maybe it's not fake, Jeff. What? I'm kidding. That's a joke. I thought I'd be funny.

I don't know how I thought you'd react. Spoken a little bit too much conviction there. You know, I'm glad that I didn't have to do online dating because I like to win people with my personality. Yeah, how's that going for you? It got me married. And I'm very happy in my marriage. The bar is low. Oh, my God.

All right, so now I've lost track of what we're doing. Daria. Yes, there we go. We're back to you and your guy, Derek. You ready to do this? How are you feeling? I'm feeling good. I'd feel worse after everything we just said.

I don't know. I'm excited to hear from him. Yeah. I'm excited too. I think it's going to turn out just fine. Okay. Yeah. You're all over the place. Yeah. She thinks that you should feel worse about yourself, but it's going to go fine. I just mean about her confidence in us.

I don't know. Maybe just be quiet. I don't think that's a bad idea. Let's find out here we go yo what up this is Derek yo what up Derek hey Derek I feel like we're friends already very friendly

what is this? This is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Oh, my God. Wait. No way. Oh. Okay, radio, radio, radio words. We're not allowed to say some of that stuff.

Yeah. Oh, my bad. No, okay. Okay. We got a live one. You know us? Yeah, dude. You know us? Yeah, dude. You know what?

Man, I was wondering when you guys were going to call me about something. Like, I listen to you guys all the time. Really? Your life's such a mess. You think we would call you that often? We're just sitting around waiting for a prank phone call. I'm going to get them one day. I like you.

I like this a whole lot better than a lot of the calls that we do where they're like, who? Radio? What? Today's your big day. We called you. Do you know a whole lot better than a lot of the calls that we do where they're like, who? Radio? What? Today's your big day. We called you. Do you know what we're calling you about? Man, I don't know, but you guys are freaking awesome.

I mean, is this that dating segment thing that you guys do? Yeah. Yeah, the dating one. Second date. Yeah, this is awesome. Okay. This is awesome. So you probably know who I'm calling about then.

God, man. No, I really can't say. Who are you calling about? Oh, okay. Her name's Daria? It was a couple weeks ago she said that you guys went out. Daria. Man, a couple weeks.

Did we go like a week? Was it like a week ago? Maybe it was a couple weeks. Oh, man. Dude, you know it like a week ago? Maybe it was a couple weeks. Oh, man. Dude, you know, I just, I can't remember. I really have coffee with everyone. You have coffee with everyone? I mean, yeah, I like to hang a lot.

I'm pretty active in the dating scene. You know, I like women, women like me, you know. Okay. You've got coffee dates common. Wait, I'm confused. Do you remember Daria yeah do you not remember daria yeah i do remember her i do i do she just didn't crack my top three you know i just i just really wasn't feeling her man what he was close there's so many words yeah let's go back a

little bit here's the thing man i date a lot so it's like all these girls are just kind of like mid to me you know what i mean so she's got to really just like stand out but the thing that we're trying to figure out about daria is like you went through a lot of trouble to get her on a date with you it sounded like oh man dude yeah i mean because i guess i guess there's a lot of trouble i mean i've pretty much perfected it by now so it's not really a lot of trouble if you perfected what what do you mean getting dates here's the thing so i came up with this like foolproof way to basically get girls to go out with me it's like 80 effective okay okay 80 is not the correct math for foolproof but okay tell us about it what do you do okay so look i reach out to these women you know and i say like found you onada, yada, yada, let's beat up.

I send them a screenshot of their Bumble account that I created, bro. Like, I went on their Instagram. What? Wow. Yeah, I'm like, hey, is this you? And they always freak out. Yeah, because someone's impersonating them online. I'm a hero. I come

flying in with my little cape. You know what I mean? So I tell them, I'm like, hey, don't worry about it, baby. I'll report the site. And then when they're their most vulnerable, I ask them out, right? And they're like, oh my God, yeah.

You trick them into dating you. It's them into dating you it's not a trick it's not a trick at all it's it's real right there's somebody created this bumble account but it's you it's like how batman lets all the villains out of jail and then recaptures them so that he's the hero okay And we all love Batman. That's true. If all the villains are locked up forever, Batman goes away. Exactly. I love Christian Bale. Okay, Alexis. It worked for Alexis.

And who knows? Maybe it worked for Daria, too, hearing that. Because I didn't let you know this earlier. Since you listened, you probably know that she's on the other line wanting to talk to you. Oh, s***. Yeah. I forgot that's how this works. Oh, right.

Daria, are you still there? Oh, man***. Yeah. I forgot that's how this works. It's still the radio, by the way. Daria, are you still there? Oh, man, Daria. Yeah, I'm still here. Hey! That's a good sign. You're safe here. How are you feeling there, Daria?

I'm not going to be here for much longer. Why? Why, Jeff? What happened? I'm sorry. Is everyone hearing the same thing I am? You like superheroes, Jeff? What happened? I'm sorry. Is everyone hearing the same thing I am? You like superhero, right? Insane. Yeah, Jeff was being sarcastic.

You create fake Bumble accounts of women by scraping their pictures from Instagram? Daria, listen. Listen, baby. I got to stand out, man. You know how many... Dude, there's so many games out there people play. Don't be mad just because I have the best game out there. I got you to go on a date with me, right?

I mean, it's creative. Are you 12 years old? You sound like a 12-year-old who read pickup lines on the internet. Like, are you out of your rock? No, this is not a pickup line. This is advanced women gathering. Advanced women gathering? I took that course in college.

Are we like wood? Are we like timber in a forest? We're not Pokemon. You don't got to catch us all. What the hell did he say? Why not? I got you to go on a date, right? You're not trying to settle down with one?

You want to just date every girl you can find, bro? Yeah, why not? I think the why not is because it ends up hurting the women's feelings like daria just now and that's the thing all the girls don't take me on these radio shows and try to get a second date it's just like hey if it didn't work out it didn't work out move on to the next guy you gotta call me on the radio you're right i'm the psycho one. I mean, I guess the one nice thing is he didn't use you for anything.

Yeah, it's not like he took your money or you guys didn't fool around or something. You guys are not taking his side on this after you've heard everything. No, no, we're not taking his side but we are pointing out some of the positive things. I mean, he could just really love coffee because he just goes on coffee dates every day at South Park. I mean, he could just really love coffee.

Because he just goes on coffee dates every day at South Park. It's because it's cheaper than cocktails. There it is. We are not on his side in any way. It's not cool to use a fake profile to get somebody to respond. Maybe you should like, sorry, Derek, I love that you listen, but maybe he should also be reported to Bubble. I mean, we'll see. Oh, that's true.

That's a great idea. Where are we going to find him? We don't have you girls to do all the work. No, Brooke already has an account. She confirmed it earlier. She didn't make it. Yeah, go find him, Brooke. That was a weird joke.

I'm going to say that it's real, and you're going to be the hero for the day. Congratulations, Brooke. We'll see you on Bumble, Brooke. Thank you, Brooke. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. 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. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.
