And what I heard wasn't good. You really f***ed last night. It felt like I lived most of my life in a blackout. I was trapped in addiction. You had to grab the lamp and smash it against the walls. And then, I decided I wanted to tell my own story. Listen to Crumbs on the iHeartRadio

app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Second Date Update You know, sometimes, in order to find the right person, you have to kiss a few frogs first. Yes, they say.

And that explains why I'm banned from the amphibian exhibit at the aquarium. You took it very literally. You have heard the phrase, though. Sometimes you got to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince or your Mr. Right. Well, one of our listeners says that happened to her recently. Now she needs our help. So let's welcome to the show, Carolyn. What's up, Carolyn? Hi. You've been sucking face with some reptiles, Carolyn? Amphibians, that's what they are, huh?

Yeah, the reptile is a different... Sorry. Brooks is kissing reptiles. Any small slimy animal, come on over. I've kissed 14 iguanas.as yeah what happened why why did you say that you were kissing frogs so i had a friend pick me up and she said she had a great guy for me she thought we'd get along great oh did that work out for you um no yeah i don't think it ever does. I show up at the date. First of all, looks are not everything. But I walk over and I'm like, oh, this is who my friend is to snap with. Maybe he's got this amazing person. He's really funny. Amazing personality.

OK, so you weren't initially attracted to him on first sight. I was not. But I'm trying to keep an open mind because my friend to snap for a reason. And then we start the date and I kid you not, he did not say a word. What? You were silent? Yeah, like I would ask questions and it would be like one word

answers. You mean he was quiet and he listened to you? God, what a jerk. No! He was not listening. The opposite. He didn't talk at all? He didn't talk at all. He didn't ask me anything about myself. I'm like asking about him. He's giving me these one-word answers.

It's so uncomfortable. I've never eaten so fast in my life. Were you like texting your friend under the table? Like, what the hell? Well, that's rude. No, because I was too busy shoving food in my face because I wanted to get out of there. That's true.

If I ever see a girl finish her food fast now, I'm going to be very self-conscious. She immediately asked for it to go? That's not a good sign. Okay. So wait, why are you on for a second date update with a guy you didn't like? So here's the thing. So I had that horrible date with my friend that my friend fixed me up with.

And so I thought, I'm not going to let my friend or anyone else fix me up. I'm going to try this on my own because nothing can be worse than that date. Okay. You've taken dating into worse than that date. Okay. You've taken dating into your own hands now. Yeah. So then I went to online dating because at least then I can go by, I find this person attractive, at least in their pictures. Yeah.

So there was this guy that we had been texting, and he seemed really cool. His name was Scott. Scott? Yeah. We were having like a fun banter with the tech. Okay. Hot Scott.

Yeah, hot Scott. I like it, Jose. What did you guys end up doing on a date banter with the tech. Okay. Hot Scott. Yeah, Hot Scott. I like it, Jose. Yeah. What did you guys end up doing on a date? So we went and grabbed a bite to eat, and it was honestly, like, the universe was, like, we know you had that crappy date, and now we are giving you Scott. Like, it was magical. Like, the conversation was flowing.

He was asking me questions. I was asking him questions. Like, I kept ordering more food because I didn't want the day to end yeah the opposite i mean because it was your third entree that turned him off or maybe it was because your last date before set the bar so low for you oh yeah that just an average to below average guy was good enough that's just all dating in general yeah how low can we live he asked one question and you're like oh my god what a charmer that's sweet though i mean how did the day end for you guys you know he walked me to my car we had a sweet kiss yeah so i was a kiss? Yeah. So I was really hopeful.

And now it's been over a week and I haven't heard anything. That seems weird. It went as well as you said. I mean, looking back on the night, was there anything that was awkward or any moment that could have stood out as something that could have been a red flag? Okay. Maybe. But to me, it's like been a red flag? Okay, maybe. But to me, it's like a little red flag. Okay, what?

I had ordered the chicken lettuce wraps as an appetizer. And then we were there talking for so long. And then I ordered them again later, forgetting that I had ordered them before. Oh, my God. I know. So he might, I don't, I mean, that's the only thing I can think of i feel like he said anything and i tried to play it off like he didn't make fun of you in that moment i would have probably made fun of you like man you love these lettuce wraps he was kind of like you know you just had those and i was like oh i'm like oh my gosh i totally did but i'm having so much fun

and you you forgot that you like how many things did you order in between then? Well, not a lot I think the better question is how many drinks did you have between then? That counts as an ordering thing We'll just say a lot of time in the past So to me it wasn't weird It's weird, but it's not a reason not to call somebody back Right, right Yeah

I don't know, maybe Really? The lettuce wraps would like be a no-go for you? You're like, ugh. Too healthy for me. Yeah. That's what I was thinking. It could be like a diet thing.

Yeah, like why didn't you get a dessert or something, you know? Honestly, it was probably adrenaline of like, oh my gosh, this guy's not a total dill weed. Maybe I was a little over-anxious. Yeah, or maybe you're over-eager, and that could be a turn-off. But you might not think that, so. Well, he's not calling her back, so he's thinking something. Yeah, let's find out what he is thinking. I wish that we had the power to just tap into his mind, but we have to call him first.

That'd be a cool segment. I know. We're working on that technology till then. Mind tap. We'll just do it the old-fashioned way with a second date update. Get it done right after this, okay? Okay. Second date update. Get it done right after this, okay? Okay. We're in the middle of your second date update with Carolyn,

who, after being set up on a horrible date by her good friend, was relieved to match online with a great guy named Scott. Hot Scott. Hot Scott was good-looking. He knew how to actually talk and ask questions. Phenomenal kisser. And now we're in the middle of your second date update with Carolyn, who after being set up on a terrible date by her good friend,

was relieved to match online. Why are you saying that again? Oh, did I say the exact same thing twice in the same segment? Oh, I get it. Because Carolyn ordered the same appetizer twice without realizing it and thought maybe her memory could have come into question or maybe scott would have thought that was weird or maybe her passion for lettuce wraps is just that strong that's what you should have said to him carolyn right yeah that's so funny i can't believe he hasn't called you back at all. Oh, no.

Do you feel like maybe it was too good to be true? No. I'm being optimistic. Okay, I like that. You're holding on to hope. I can't tell you how many people have come on the show and been like, the date was too good. There's got to be a reason for this. Let's find out.

I'm going to call him right now, okay? Okay, great. All right, Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Scott? It is. Who's calling? Good question, Scott. I heard that you were good at listening and asking questions. Right off the bat there.

We're proud of you, man. Excuse me? Yeah, you tell them who we are. Yeah off the bat there. We're proud of you, man. Excuse me? Yeah, you tell them who we are. Yeah. Oh, right. We're Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Not as good as listening. No.

We're a radio show. Okay. All right. I'm sorry. I'm a little confused. We want to make you the star of this segment called Second Date Update. Congratulations. A second date update?

Yeah. Have you heard of those before? No. And honestly, I don't really have time. Okay. We'll make it really fast. We'll make it really fast. Okay.

So you went out recently with one of our listeners named Carolyn. She told us she had a great time at dinner with you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Okay. Cut me off there. That's with you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Okay. Cut me off there.

That's a little bit rude. But you know what? I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt because of the time thing. Sorry. This is just kind of super weird. She just really liked you, Scott. I mean, she just really liked you and you weren't calling her back. So she just wanted to know if she did something wrong.

Okay. And she did tell us a little bit about your guys' night together, going to dinner and ordering a bunch of food and having a lot in common. Yeah. Pretty vague, I know, but it's kind of what we know. We had a good time. You know, we do have a lot in common. Okay, that was her review

of the night, too. Was the kiss at the end of the night lovely? Yeah. Yeah, we made out a little bit. It felt really nice and things are going great that sounds good i mean usually when we do these though there is something that was a little bit off something wrong yep there was okay he's quick to answer on all this you mean like during the date there was something off no it's just kind of uh embarrassing embarrassing It turned out that we had a little more in common than I would have liked

to know. We had a great time. We did have a great time. She's a wonderful girl. She was kind of naturally hilarious. She ordered the same wrap twice without realizing it. She told us about that. She told us that.

It was delicious. I mean i i totally get it okay well what's the part that weirded you out so i i got home and i was talking to my roommate about the date and how it went great and he's like oh yeah show me this girl so i i bring a profile and i i show him and i mean it's like his eyes just went wide as saucers. And I was like, what? Did he know her? He was like, dude. He knew her. No, no, no. He didn't know her.

It was kind of weird. I wish he had known her. But he was like, dude, do you not see it? Like, she's your doppelbanger. Doppelbanger? Doppelbanger? Is that a doppelganger that you bang? Yeah.

I was like, what is a doppelbanger? And he was like, bro, she looks exactly like you. Like, you'd be banging yourself if you dated her. Oh, wow. Well,

actually. I know couples like that, though, and it works for them. I totally know couples that look... I think all blonde couples look alike.

It says a blonde. Yeah. You're telling me you're not attracted to yourself, Scott? That's kind of what weirded me out at first

was that it put me in this self-reflective mode which was a little scary but he was like no seriously like put your your picture right next to hers and i i put him side by side in like a pig stitch app and it was like a twilight zone episode and i was so freaked out but she's so nice nice. I didn't know how to be like, hey, so you're my long-lost twin, so I can't date you. I've heard that it's just like evolution. Like, people want to be attracted to people who look like them simply because they want their babies to look like them. You know, like, it's... Yeah, that's why Brooke only dates in her own family.

It's what she's attracted to. My husband does not look like me, but... Bro, if you think about it, she's also very big-headed. Because she told us she thought you were hot. Oh, no. She thinks she's hot. Good for her. That's confidence.

That's the thing. She's beautiful. Oh. So you are into it. So you would make a lovely woman then, Scott. I mean, I've been told that I have nice lashes. Okay. I think you can still make this work if you can get over this hump.

I don't know. It's one of those things. At first, I would have been like, no, you're wrong. It's fine. We're going to keep dating. But after seeing it side by side, I cannot unsee it. It's like a psychological trip, man. Sure.

You guys look alike. That's one obstacle. I'm curious if you guys sound alike. And we can compare voices right now. Cause she's on the other line wanting to talk to you. They're going to harmonize. Hi. Are you kidding me?

Oh, it's meant to be. Wait, who's talking? I can't tell. Scott, is this some type of joke? Like if this is a joke,

I don't, I don't get it. It's not. I'm sorry. Look, if you don't joke, I don't get it. It's not. I'm sorry. Look, if you don't believe me, like, seriously, take our pictures and put them right next to each other. Send her the picture you took, bro. I am. I'm sorry.

Uh-uh. Here's the thing. I have friends that look alike. And you put in a picture and they look alike. But when you're actually in life, they don't look alike because their personalities their animation the way they talk is so different and so i don't understand i know i know but we don't even know once like maybe give it another chance and see and then maybe if we can't get past it but i think when we're with each other in person you'll see that the way that we act is different i mean if you have good chemistry is it because you're twins? No, come on.

What are you really worried about, Scott? What's the worst thing that could possibly happen if you go out with Carolyn? People are going to think that I'm making out with my sister. Like, we'll be in the park now. That might be a treat for some people, though. Don't think of only the people that aren't going to like it. Think of people that will like it.

Yeah, it depends on what area of the country you're in. Scott, all you have to do, listen, all you have to do is change your hair color. Yeah. I mean, honestly, like, people always think my husband looks like Jeffrey, and they don't look anything alike when they're in person. Sometimes their pictures look similar,

but if one of them were to dye their hair blonde, nobody would know any different. I think this is the first time we've ever asked a listener to change their hair color on a date just so that they could get another chance. Why stop there? Let's do cosmetic surgery, too. You want to get a nose job? How about a chin lift?

We're paying a lot more people to call in for that. Yeah, that's true. Can we have a plastic surgery gift card while we're at it? I'm glad you guys are having fun. I guess, you know, maybe then I just think it's a shame to waste such good chemistry because you just don't meet people you connect with like that. And if you're willing to just let that go because of a perceived doppelbanger, then maybe you're not the person I thought you were.

Come on, Scott. That's a challenge. I hear a challenge right there. I am happy to continue our relationship, but like on a family level. Oh, what? Family level? Ew. Never heard that before on the show.

What does that mean? Like, I would love to continue our relationship, like as friends, so that I could just bring you home to meet my parents, because it will blow their minds. Oh. Wow. He wants you to meet the parents on day two. That's going to be a hard pass, so I'm just going to say,

I guess I dodged a bullet and you're not the person I thought you were. Oh, Scott. Come on. Imagine her walking in the door first and her parents are like, Scott, did you make a life decision and not tell us?

Sounds like a sibling rivalry is happening. Oh, come on. Okay. You are making it worse. Both of you. Clearly, I'm not going to come out on top on this, so I'm just going to just bow out. Yeah.

I'm sorry, Carolyn. That sucks. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Maybe next time, don't call a radio station to figure things out. Oh.

Don't let your roommate dictate who you go out with based on a picture. Oh, wow. I think she actually wins that burden. Fair enough. Thank you. Fair enough. Thank you. Is it too late to ask if you guys want to go out with based on a picture. Oh, wow. I think she actually wins that burden. Thank you. Fair enough. Thank you. Is it too late to ask if you guys want to go out on a second date?

We'll pay for it. Oh, that's right. You never ask. Is that too late? Oh, yeah. It's in the Olive Garden. You're there with your family. Oh, hey.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You know, people always tell me this show isn't educational. People say you don't learn anything on it. What did we learn just now? Well, we just learned a new word today. Doppelbanger. Oh, I do like that one. I could already apply it to a couple couples that I know.

It's a real thing that actually happens where people hook up with someone because they look like the other gendered version of yourself. Or same gendered version of yourself. That too. I wonder what female Jose looks like and yourself. That too. I wonder what female Jose looks like and how much they talk. I don't need two of you. It's kind of funny that he

didn't realize it until his buddy told him. He would never have noticed until somebody else pointed it out. But once you do, you can't get it out of your head. And if you think about it, it actually is kind of good that his friend told him. Because it's better to find out that now than later on down the road. Like as she's walking down

the aisle and you're up on the altar and you're thinking, wait a second. Am I walking towards myself in a dress? And I look good in it. I could still be a magical moment. No? I feel like he missed out. Bottom line, it didn't work out. But it doesn't mean it can't work out for you we can
