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. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.

Listen to The Daily Show, ears edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Emi Olea, host of the podcast Crumbs. For years, I had to rely on other people to tell me my story, 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 smashed 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, when it comes to dating, some people prefer to have a fun activity planned out. Yeah, that's always great. Like axe throwing or chainsaw juggling or fire swallowing. Okay, we're getting a little dangerous.

That's what makes it fun. Oh. Other people are happy just sitting down in one spot and eating spam out of a can. Oh. All night long. I mean, I love. Just cook it a little. Not my people. Fry it?

Like, fried spam. Yes. Now we're talking, bro. That's a lot of work. Okay. But one of our listeners, Jonathan, actually falls into the first category. Oh. He had a fun date night activity planned out.

So, Jonathan, I'm picturing you and some lucky lady doing some first date coal mining together. Am I hot or cold on that guess? I mean, definitely closer to the hot than cold. Oh, coal mining. Did you throw a canary down the mine just in case? I mean, I thought it was a good first date, you know? Okay. So we'll get to the exciting date in just a second.

Who's the girl that you went out with? Danielle. Danielle. How'd you meet her? We met online. We met on Tinder, and we were chatting for about two weeks. And I feel like two weeks is that good sweet spot where you, you know, ask for that first date. Did anything special stand out about your guys' interaction?

Well, more than interaction, she was super beautiful. Just her picture. Like, I kept going back to her pictures just to look at her. Yeah. And, like, imagine me going out with her. I feel like you didn't say a single word to her for two weeks. It was just looking at her photos. No, no, no, no.

Not like that. But you know what I mean. Got it. When you find someone that you think is really attractive and you're excited about, it's hard to not think about it. It's always that fine line between romantic and creepy. It really is. I look at Jeff's picture on the website every day. Yeah, I look at my picture on the website, too.

Don't blame you. So after two weeks, you were able to get her out to go to an activity. What did you decide to do together? We went to Dave and Buster's. Oh! He played games. That's a great date. How do you describe it for people that don't know?

It's like an adult arcade, basically. It's like Chuck E. Cheese for adults. Yeah. That's a good way to describe it. You take some shots, and then you take some shots with a little basketball hoop. Yeah. I love Dave and Buster's. You know,

I just like, I geek out there, you know. Are you like, I'm sorry to interrupt, are you like a regular there? Yeah. Like,

I don't know what you would call a regular, but I go often enough that I recognize the people that work there. How about that? That's a regular. That's a regular.

I feel like those arcade bars always have someone who looks like they've been there for a long time there's that one person that has the high score on every single machine i've won up dave and buster's shirt or two so you i mean how did it go with her she she seems to be having a good time you know like she was interacting i started playing the you know the car game and i go to basketball i always get the high score at least for the day you were just playing the games by yourself while she watched or were you playing them together together she

said she was okay watching wait what what do you mean you were playing together that's a red flag what do you say dude you can play the car game You each get in your own car and then you race. Same with basketball. Yeah. Like what? Even if you crash. I mean, look, we played knock hockey together. Knock hockey?

That's like table hockey. Like air hockey? Air hockey, yeah. Yeah, air hockey, air hockey. Did she not play because she didn't want to or because you were a little over eager and just started without her? I don't know. I mean, she, I was ordering us food, too.

I had, you know, the Creole and shrimp, which I love there. OK. And, you know, she was complimenting me. She was like saying how good of a job I was doing. At the games or at the eating? OK, well, you know, we get that the menu at Dave and Buster's is really good and the games are really fun. What about Danielle? What was she doing?

She was drinking. Drinking. That's not the worst thing. Was she on her phone a lot? She was so bored. Isn't everyone on their phone a lot in general? That's a fair point. Wait, does that mean she was on her phone a lot?

Not the whole time. Okay. So those sound kind of like red flags, like she wasn't having a good time i mean which you may not have noticed because you love the place so much you were in your zone i i won her a teddy bear from the claw game okay and what was her response to that she smiled she said thanks so much i like it i mean girls love stuffy so that's a good thing and And then I found $5 on the floor, so we kept playing a little more. Oh, you found $5?

Wow. Did you finally let her play on the free money? She didn't seem that interested in playing herself. It sounds like he wanted her to play, but she didn't want to. But it's like, why would she agree to a date at Dave & Buster's if she wasn't into video games? There's a bar and food, too. I mean, you don't have to play video games.

All right. Well, I mean. How did it end? How did it end? That's the question. I think we know. How did it end? Well, you know, I drove her home.

In the game or in real life? No, in real life. Okay. If I drove her home that fast, she wouldn't be still alive. Oh. Right. Was the drive home nice? Did you feel that there were vibes going between you two? Yeah. If she was home that fast, she wouldn't be still alive. Was the drive home nice?

Did you feel that there were vibes going between you two? Yeah, you know, we were listening to music and sort of like car dancing. That's cute. Okay. Car dancing. Now, again, were you both participating in the car dancing or was it only you? Maybe she's still drinking it on her phone. No, we were both participating. I think she was a little tipsy.

But that's a fun, happy vibe to end on. Is there any way that you could have possibly misinterpreted the car dancing as her trying to get out of the car and escape? Yeah, she stopped and dropped it. Dude, come on. Dude, come on. I'm just messing with you, dude. That's funny. So you took her home.

Was there a kiss? Did you walk her to the door? Did you play tonsil hockey? Yeah, I walked her to the door and I gave her a kiss on the cheek. Okay. Okay, that's cute. That's good. And nothing since. You haven't heard from her at all or you guys have been texting?

No. The conversation went missing in action. Huh. Interesting. Well, this is a classic second date. It sounds like you just missed on what you should have done. You just need a second chance and the next date could go way better if you're not at an arcade. He's a guy too into his video games. This is what happens. It's like you just missed on what you should have done. You just need a second chance, and the next day could go way better if you're not at an arcade. He's a guy too into his video games. This is what happens.

It's classic, honestly. Well, we've done enough of these to know that's never the case. It's probably that he didn't get enough high scores. He's not a good enough game. But we're going to find out for sure. We'll come back. We'll call Danielle for you and get you your second date update right after this. Okay.

Hold on. Second date update. If you're just joining us, lucky you, because we're on the phone with quite the man. Oh. He is a superstar basketball player, an elite NASCAR race driver. Even better, dare we say. An evil thwarting superhero and 12-time Naki Haki champion. Wow!

You'd think that he'd be named Time Magazine's Man of the Year by now, but instead he owns three different colored Dave & Buster's t-shirts. That's right! Because he loves it there so much that he's a VIP. In fact, that's where he took his date, Danielle, the other night. And it sounds like Jonathan is the one who did most of the playing. All of it, except for, wait, what did she play? He calls it knock hockey, but it's air hockey.

Yeah, air hockey. That's the only thing she played. Most of the time she watched. And maybe that could have contributed to her not calling him back afterwards. That she was more of a fan and not a participant. She was in a good mood on the way home. He said that they car danced. Some of us like to watch. And that's okay.

Okay. Didn't know we were getting there, Jeffrey. But I'm glad you made that statement for yourself. Jonathan, do you like to watch sometimes too? Yeah. Okay. Glad to see someone as enthusiastic about it as I am. He's a positive guy.

He doesn't like watching metal rim basketball. Metal rim something. That's for sure. You have some weird ways that you describe things. Metal rim basketball. You're my kind of guy, Jonathan. Let's not waste time.

We're going to call Danielle. I like rubber ball basketball myself. Now you made it weird. They're dialing Danielle right now. We'll see if she answers and see if she can tell us what happened. Here we go. Hello? Hi, is this Danielle?

This is her. Guess what, Danielle? You're live on the radio. What are you doing? No pressure. That used to be cool back in the day. We're bringing it back. No, we're not.

I'm sorry. What is this about? Hi, Danielle. You're live on the radio with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I feel like you're turning this into one of those never meet your heroes type of moments yeah i'll bring it down a second here danielle uh everything that i said was absolutely true but what we're doing right now is a second date update trying to reach out on behalf of our listener named jonathan yes who you went out on a date with the other night. A hot date. Oh, okay.

Is hot date how you would describe it? Sure. Oh, okay. Wait a minute. My sarcasm sensor is going off. I don't know. I was absolutely being sarcastic. See, I knew it.

My sensor's never broken. Dang it. Why? So you didn't have a good time? So what happened was before he came to pick me up, he was like, let's go to Dave and Buster's. It's so much fun. And I'd never heard of it before. Oh.

So did you know it was like an adult arcade place? Yeah. I looked it up and realized that it was an arcade place? Yeah, I looked it up and realized that it was an arcade place, so I told him, maybe we should do something else. Oh, you don't like having fun on your dates? Oh, you didn't want to do that date. Why not? Oh, it gets so

loud. There'll be kids running around. Like, this is a first date. I'm just trying to get to know the guy. By kids kids she means people's alexis's age right i can get wild you wanted something more chill though where you guys could focus on each other yeah so we could have an actual conversation on a first date so did he convince you that dave and busters was a good idea um no i was like surprise me let's do something else and he was like okay oh no surprise same idea really is that what happened original plan activated he picked me up i was like so what

are we doing and then he just drove to dave and buster's no oh my god what did you say when you guys pulled into the parking lot i was just like, isn't this the place that I looked up online that I told you I didn't want to go to? He was just like, well, you know, you've never been here before, so at least you should try it. He has a point. Sometimes you should be open to trying new things. What do you mean no? Same with him. Goes to trying new things. What do you mean no? Same with him. Goes somewhere new.

She was very specific on what her wants were for the date. And he totally disregarded her. Didn't listen to her. But sometimes you don't know what you really want until you see it. It's not what we're going to do on a first date. We're not going to say you don't know what you want. I mean, were you mad? Like, what were you feeling?

I was just kind of confused. I mean, he's right like i've never been there i should try it but like you're saying that's not what i wanted on the first date well you said you wanted him to surprise you and what's a bigger surprise than doing the thing that you said i didn't want to do actually he listened to your instructions very, very well. I'm paraphrasing. I'm paraphrasing. I said I wanted a chill night. Yeah, no one chills at Dave & Buster's.

And did you have any conversation at Dave & Buster's? I mean, I was just pretty annoyed that he didn't listen to me. Honestly, the only thing that had me staying was that he kept buying me drinks. I didn't pass up from boredom. Oh. I mean, that's... Okay. So that's very clear why you're not calling him back. At least something nice did happen for you on the date.

Yeah, that's courteous. And, you know, I know you say you like surprises. Well, guess who's on the other line listening and wanting to talk to you right now? Superstar Jonathan. Yeah. Surprise. The guy you said you didn't want to talk to. He's on the phone.

Is he on the phone right now? Yes, he is. I'm here. In the flesh. In the audio. In the audio. In the audio flesh. That's so awkward.

I like it. I thought I was going to show you a good time, and I thought I would be bringing you out of your comfort zone. Dave & Buster's is such a fun place, and I know other people who have gone to Dave & Buster's the first time, and then they didn't like it, but then the second time they were like, you know what, this place has grown on me.

Oh, I want to keep pushing it. Oh, so you want to go back again? Keep pushing it. It's like a acquired taste, like it. But then the second time, they were like, you know what? This place has grown on me. So you want to go back again? It's like acquired taste, like coffee. You have to grow, and then eventually you'll be addicted. No one likes coffee the first time they have it. Kate Middleton didn't want royalties at the beginning. What? Like the supermodel Kate Middleton? Oh, no, that's the one married to Prince.

Yeah, wait. Are you friends with the Windsor family? It's just my point, you know Kate Middleton didn't want you know a life of like exposure to royalty and you know royalty to gamers. Dave and Buster is game royalty. That's really sweet. She just compared you to Kate Middleton. That's a really, really kind gesture. You could be the Kate Middleton of Dave and Buster's.

Jonathan, you're a decent guy. I think you're nice. You're just a horrible listener. Like, it's that hard to understand that I don't want to do something. Jonathan, did you not hear? Like, you were sitting on the phone when she was going over the whole thing of why she didn't want to do it, why she felt disrespected. Yeah, but this is coming from a woman who's never tried the mozzarella bruschetta at Dave & Buster's.

Oh, now that's some good cheese and bread. I mean, was he right about the bruschetta? Was it as mind-blowing as he says it is? It's Dave & Buster's. It was all right. Yeah, it's like a note for the food. I hope they're not a sponsor. I guess you are royalty.

Oh, now are you saying she's snotty now? I just think, Jonathan, like a first date is a chance to get to know someone, not to go to your favorite place so that you can be there and play the games you like to play. It's good to share your passions, but... Later on. Well, maybe that's part of dating. Part of dating is sharing your passions with each other.

Now, Jonathan has shared his passion for Dave and Buster's. Danielle, here's a chance for you to share your passion with him. Yeah, that's a good idea. Take him someplace that he doesn't want to go. Where would that be? Where do you want? What do you say, Danielle?

I feel like if I say yes, I'm going to get in the car, and he's just going to drive me there. Like a moth to a flame. He can't stop himself. This time, Chuck E. Cheese. Oh, my God. I will take Dave and Buster's out of my GPS. Oh, wow.

You still need GPS for it? He knows where it is. He doesn't need to put it in anymore. So it means nothing to take it out of his GPS. All right. Well, sounding like it's going to be a no from you, Danielle. I don't think I can do it. But, hey, I wouldn't chalk this up as a loss, Jonathan,

because I feel like you learned a lot here. Yeah, I learned that the mozzarella isn't as good as I thought it was. Oh. Oh, not going to order that appetizer next time. 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,
