to come knocking on your front door. It's also important. Or can you? What? Because that's exactly what happened to one of our listeners, Alicia. What? She was at home when love came and knocked him. Wait, can you order that on Amazon now?

Now she wants our help to knock back. Alicia, welcome to the show. A lot of knocking going on. Are we talking about the end of the day? I don't know. Alicia, how are you doing? Hi, guys. I'm good.

How are you? Good. I'm good how are you good i'm curious who came to your door um so his name is robert okay yeah we met at my apartment building because he literally came and knocking at my door wait he just like randomly showed up to your door at your apartment building? Well, I mean, like, I guess yes and no. So it was after work, so I just kind of like home, like relaxing. And he's a maintenance worker. Oh, okay.

Oh, so he's hot and he's handy. Yeah, Jose was ready to just go like door to door knocking and seeing if there was any takers. Yeah, he wasn't just like going around trying to scope for tail okay he actually had a job to do okay he was a really good looking maintenance worker you know he had like the jumpsuit on he had his tool belt i mean you know that's a really manly man type blue collar worker oh my god fix your pipes was that a good moment when you open your door or a freak out moment? Because when I get home from work, I am not looking my hottest. Right. And you like open the door with like a bag of Doritos in your hand. And sometimes not even just when you're home

either. Yeah. Sweats and no bra. I literally have a blanket thrown over right now. That's true. So what was your state,icia i was in sweats but like i still had like my makeup on from work so i was cute but comfy you were a hybrid which is the best way to be the best way to be okay so like obviously i opened the door uh i was shocked to see him but you know as i inquired i was like hey you know what are you doing here he was basically hired by the building to go to all the apartments just to kind of check the appliances, to make sure everything's working correctly, everything's wired correctly. So you're just hoping something's broken so he has to come back.

Yeah, or just like stay longer, right? Yeah. I think my bed's broken. You should hop in there and try it out. I'm curious, though. How do you flirt with a guy that's doing maintenance work in your building you've never seen an adult video how does she do it oh got it uh and then like i was just kind of making small talk with him you know like how long has he been doing this you know does he enjoy it actually that's nice because i bet they get left

alone a lot like when the maintenance comes it's like do your thing and get out if that's what you consider flirting then my husband has flirted with every single maintenance person or totally that has ever come into our home but then when he was like he says he works crazy hours just because he's like he's on call so if like something breaks you know they could call him at like two o'clock in the morning to be like hey like a pipe burst so when he was telling me about his crazy hours i was just like i tried to sneak in like as suddenly as i could i was like oh what does your girlfriend think of these like crazy hours like smart smooth that's really good that was good and that actually that also shows him like you're kind of interested you're thinking about about it, right? What did he say? He told me he didn't have one.

Okay. So then I was like, you know what? You know, you have other places to go, like other apartments. But how about after you're done, why don't you, like, stop by back here for a drink? Oh. Hello. That is so good. He's like, sorry, I'm on call.

I can never drink, but thank you. What did he say? He was like, sure. You know, and I put my number in his phone. Nice. All great moves. I was going to ask, like, were you getting a vibe back from him this entire time? But if he took your number, then that's a pretty good sign.

Yeah, and I felt like there was a good vibe. Because, like, sometimes when you talk to a nation's worker, they just don't seem to be, they just don't want to be bothered. Yeah, totally. I know. They want to focus on their work i mean he had such an easy out he could have easily just said oh i'm sorry i'm not allowed to do that you know that yeah so did he come back no oh and it was weird because like we really had a good vibe and like he was like asking me questions too that sucks did he text you or anything no i mean i was just shocked like been like a week and i just thought i don't know i'm not look i'm not looking to get married i'm not looking to get into a full-blown

relationship but he was cute i would love to have a drink with him and get to know him more because i just felt like we had a good conversation i'd'd like to continue it. Yeah. Okay, so we're going to play a song. We'll come back. We'll call the sexy maintenance man. What was his name? Robert. Robert. Robert.

Sexy maintenance man, Robert. Rob the maintenance guy. We'll see what he has to say. Hopefully get you a second date right after this. All right, sounds good. Second date update. Oh, hello. Are you a date update. Oh, hello. Are you a maintenance worker?

Oh, my God. Because you can drain my septic tank. No. No. No. Why the septic tank? Why are you playing? Stop.

Now, Alicia. It just feels hot and gross in here. Oh, my God. It's like steamy in a bad way. Ew, bro. Alicia, who's on the phone for a second date, didn't use that exact pickup line. But she did get flirty with an attractive maintenance guy who showed up randomly to her apartment unit to do some inspections. It is going to take me a minute to overcome what you just did.

I'm just telling you, Jeff. I don't know if I'm going to hear you for the next minute. Because it's so hot, I know. Before he left, she even asked him if he wanted to grab a drink. And he said, yeah. She put her number into his phone. But she hasn't gotten any responses from him since that day. And now, Alicia, you can borrow the septic tank line if you want once we get him on.

I promise I won't be mad at you. Okay. Oh, no. Don't take that. It's a smart decision i'm just saying alicia i never asked you after because you said come back to my place and have a drink and then he never showed up what did you text him when he wasn't there i mean i literally just said like hey great meeting you like look forward to stopping by for a drink with like a little smiley face. Something like you. Do you think that he's not reading it right? Like maybe honestly, like he's at work.

He's not thinking outside of the box. Like maybe he didn't realize that you were like into him. He's probably exhausted after his shift. He's like, I'm going to go back and check for more stuff. I'd rather just go home. I don't know. I think it was like fairly obvious that I was flirting. You're going to have to like probably take a wrench to your thermostat and then take a photo and be like, oops, how did this happen? I guess you got to come back.

But no, let's give him a call and we'll see if he answers and see if he'll explain himself. You ready? I'm ready. All right, here we go. My dial's number right now. Hello? hello hey is this robert yeah this is robert who's this hey my name is jeff i work on a morning radio show called brooke and jeffrey in the morning okay uh how can i help you well we actually kind of want to help you with your dating life. Yeah, for sure.

Good job, Jeff. That was probably the smoothest line I'm going to deliver all year. So I should probably retire. But no, we're trying to reconnect you with somebody that you met recently. Her name's Alicia. Okay. Is that ringing a bell for you? You went over to her apartment and had to do some inspections

in her unit oh okay and where are we going with this well she told us about your guys's interaction and had a lot of nice things to say about you and she was hoping to see you again she actually thought you were coming back that same night to have a drink at her place, and then you never showed. What's going on? Is there a reason that you're kind of avoiding her? I mean, that's what she feels like is happening. Well, she's attractive, you know, don't get me wrong. Okay, that's good it's complicated i just don't want to cause any trouble okay are you married like a work thing no no it's not that it's um okay she's gonna she's gonna hate me i'd rather just talk to

her about this if this is gonna be like a thing it's like kind of like a private okay well i mean she actually came to us and gave us full reign to talk about whatever it is she understands that something embarrassing could come out through this segment so even if it's going to be a little bit weird she's willing to hear it i mean it sounds like it's something with her wait a minute wait wait did you just say she's on the phone now she's on the phone uh well no i didn't say that not specifically but it's funny that you thought that because actually she is here on the other line and you're good at your job bro so we'll just be quiet and you guys can have that private conversation yeah um alicia do you want to want to jump in here yeah i mean i don't know what could be so bad that you can't tell me like i would just

rather you be like upfront and honest with me like i just thought we had like a chill vibe and if you didn't want to wait i'm just trying to get through my day today and the phone rings and it's the radio and i'm feeling a lot of pressure right now i feel like i'm being pushed in a box here and that wasn't it at all robert like honestly she just liked you you said yourself you thought that she was attractive before you realized she was there yeah yeah yeah she's definitely attractive and she's a very nice girl um all right well listen i'm never gonna see you again so i guess i'll just be upfront and honest with, it's fine. Let him speak his truth. What? Can you, like, refuse service if she needs you? He's being honest.

So even though I do maintenance for apartment buildings, I don't do maintenance for your apartment building. What the heck? That's a little creepy. What does that even mean? So your ex-boyfriend found me on TaskRabbit, and he hired me to go into your place and get his watch back. Shut up!

What? I was like, doesn't your apartment have to give you 24-hour notice to have someone come in? Like, why didn't you know that there wasn't going to be a maintenance person? Are you f***ing kidding me? Oh, my God. Like I said, I'm not trying to get anybody in trouble here. Now I see.

He told me it was an expensive watch. Apparently, it's sentimental. He was going to give me $300 to find it. Oh, dang. That's a score. I didn't even find it. I mean, like, her and I were talking the whole time. She was right there the whole time.

Wait, what did she just say? What did you just say? I don't have it. What? What do you mean you don't have it? Where is it? He took it back. So I don't understand.

What? Was he just trying to spy on me otherwise? What? I have nothing from that relationship. This is the reason right here why I don't want to get into any of this. I don't have a dog in this race. I don't really care who has the watch. I don't.

Oh, did he ask to get his dog back too? Oh, and there's a race? I want to go. Listen, man, I just wanted to get, I got hired for a job. I tried to do my job. I mean, he paid me to go over there anyway. All he wanted was the watch. He wasn't asking me if there was any guys over. He didn't ask me to go through our phone.

He literally just asked me about the watch. Well, that's less creepy than it sounds. No, it is creepy. Like, I just feel very violated by both of them. I can see that. Yeah, that's understandable. Like, the fact that he would do this, the fact that Robert would take a job

and enter somebody's apartment under false pretenses. Yeah. Good point. If it makes you feel any better, like, I really am a maintenance man. I really did check all your appliances. That's really nice. Actually, that is is nice i guess it's better to know now and then to keep it up into the air like what if so i mean i guess thank you guys yeah but don't you want to like tell him off to his face when we send you on a date and we would pay for it you're still gonna ask her

about or a drink in his face oh whatever you guys want to do while you're together is up to you. But we would pay for that experience. I don't think she wants to see either of them again. I mean, Robert, is that something that you'd be interested in? Like I said, man, I just got hired to do a job. I'm not trying to get involved. I kind of need to go here. Exactly.

I'm talking about a different kind of job that you could be getting yourself into here. We're paying in gift cards. You guys, leave it alone. I mean, Robert, are you at least open for her to hire you to do something else? Maybe she can hire you to go into the boyfriend's place. Ooh, this could get good. A little tit for tat. And get what?

The watch back. What would I need? Take all of his pants. What? That way he can't go to work anymore. I think just leave the ex alone. He sounds crazy. You guys are really

dumb right now. I can't even believe I'm still on the phone with you. Okay. You're not wrong. Okay. They are really dumb.

There's nobody dumber in this situation than you right now, Robert. For your information, I gave him the money back. I felt really horrible that I even did it.

Oh, wait. Oh, my God. Are you sure you don't want to go out with him? I mean, maybe my standards are too low. I mean, he could say anything. Like, there's no proof that he gave the money back. Come on, guys. That's a good point.

See? I believe him. This is why we weren't offended when he called us dumb. Yeah. All right. Well, I mean, I should say sorry, but it sounds like Alicia doesn't even want to date him. Well, I mean, she got the information she needed. Yeah.

For sure. That's true. And if any of us have something that we want to get recovered, we know exactly who to date him. Well, I mean, she got the information she needed. Yeah. For sure. That's true. And if any of us have something that we want to get recovered, we know exactly who to call. We have your number now, Robert. Can you recover my actual ex-girlfriend? See, I just have a broken smoke detector. I thought he might want to come check. Oh, Robert.

I am not available for anything that you idiots need. Oh. Dang it. He just becomes more charming and charming as he continues to talk. All right, I'll see you tomorrow, Robert. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Well, I just got off the phone with Robert.

Oh, my God. Of course you did. Yeah, I did. 9 a.m. tomorrow. Looks like somebody's getting his septic tank drained. Jane, dog you. Then I'm sending him over to Brooke's house to get my confidence back. Jane dog you. Then I'm sending him over to Brooke's house to get my confidence back.

She stole it. I honestly feel bad. I think that I didn't go hard enough on Robert. What? He seemed nice, though. I kind of liked him in the end. I know, and I don't think we should have. What he did was so wrong.

And her ex-boyfriend is so crazy. But he didn't know any of them. He didn't know what he was doing. And, like, the saving grace, the problem. He didn't plan it. He just went along with it. And at the end of the day, didn't end up stealing anything and actually checked and fixed a bunch of her appliances. That's what he says. I mean, the thing is, the guy responded to someone asking him to go into an ex-girlfriend's house and retrieve a watch.

I don't know, man. You wouldn't say yes to that? Okay, here's the deal. I think people would do a lot of weird stuff for $300. That's a lot of money, okay? So I'd probably do the same. I'm torn. I'm torn.

I don't know if I reacted correctly. Who knows if the ex-boyfriend just laid it out that simply. What if he was like, this woman was horrible to me for years and years, and she did terrible things. He could have lied. We don't know it on either side, but at the end of the day no second date which is good i think it's good amazing the things you can hire people for these days you can just outsource everything i'm gonna hire someone to do my job this was accidentally the best task rabbit commercial
