Second Date Update. Have you ever met somebody on a dare? What? How? For example, I dare you, Brooke, to have Alexis do your makeup in one minute, and then you go up to a Starbucks barista afterwards

and you ask them out on a date day. I actually asked three Starbucks baristas out on dates, and I got turned down by every single one of them. Oh, wait, that's right. That actually happened. Yes, and the video's right. That actually happened. And the video is so embarrassing. They wish they called out sick that day for sure.

So you got no's from all of them? Yeah, one of them, they wouldn't even look me in the eye. Oh, wow. I don't, that barista, all of those baristas missed out because I saw the pictures at Brooke and Jeffrey, and Brooke, you look like a winner. I look like a deranged cat look like a deranged cat. A sexy deranged cat. Yeah.

So I don't know why they said no to you. But the crazy thing is, apparently one of our listeners met a guy on a dare, and she is actually on the line right now. Really? Looking to get a little bit of help. Her name is Ashlyn. Ashlyn, did someone dare you to email our show for help? Hi. No, that was all me. Okay. Were your friends

kinder in their dares where you got to wear your own makeup instead of like crazy looking makeup like Alexis did on me? Yes. I got to do my own makeup, but I'm not that good at it. Okay. The correct response probably would have been, you looked amazing in that makeup. Brooke, I don't know what you're talking about

Was I supposed to say that? Someone should have I guess I'll step in and do it anyway You accepted a dare or you were the dare-er? Tell us how it went I accepted a dare It was just a fun way to meet guys My friends were like, you're going to do this at the bar

I was like, okay Interesting Don't bachelor parties do stuff like this sometimes? Oh yeah that my friends were like, you're going to do this at the bar. I was like, okay. Interesting. Okay, this is fun. Don't bachelor parties do stuff like this sometimes? Oh, yeah. Like a task? Yeah, but that's not to meet men. That's just to embarrass the bride-to-be. Got it.

This is for meeting men. So what was the dare? Well, they had me do this thing where I would just airdrop a few cute photos of myself. Whoever had their airdrop at the bar and they like made me like sit away from them. And they're like, well, if any cute guys get it and they can come up and talk to you. Oh, that's so smart. Oh, you had to sit by yourself while you did it though? Yeah, I had to sit by myself. Well, I mean like at the bar, you know what I mean?

Yeah, but have you ever got a random airdroprop you always look around the room to see who's sending it that's genius so it could go could go to like a really cute guy could go to a bunch of like we don't know so you just think sitting by yourself while doing it is the cringiest part listen that's what makes it a dare it It's a challenge. So you actually did that. Good for you. Thanks. Yeah. So they were like watching and it worked.

A few minutes later, this one cute guy walked up and we made some like joke about it. Did you tell him it was a dare? Did you give him the whole inside scoop? No, I didn't. At that time, I was just like, oh, no, I meant to send it it to that guy. Like pointed to this weird guy with a cowboy hat on behind him. Oh, I was really hoping for the toothless. Oh,

well, I guess I'll settle for you. It was a cool bar. There was no toothless, but there were some weird. So that's great. He came over to you and you guys struck up a conversation. Yeah.

So then he like offered to buy me a drink and I was like, Oh, this is crazy. This actually worked. Like I was like, Ben, I was trying to actively not look at my friends. Right, who were, like, dying, staring at you in the corner, I'm sure. Sorry, we never got that guy's name that walked up to you. Oh, Nate.

Nate. So how did it go with him? Well, we were just making that, like, small talk, getting to know each other. Then music came up. Then I found out he actually went to the Beyonce concert with some oh awesome but is it a red flag why would it be a red flag do a lot of single guys go to beyonce concerts by themselves like maybe with a girlfriend or something you mean straight guys sorry that's that's what i mean yeah i don't know but i was

just like oh cool i didn't expect that and then we were talking about like movies and stuff and tv shows i mentioned that i like like the superhero one he was like oh i didn't expect you to like all that and um like you know i said i read some of the comics and anyways it was just like that was fun we both like kind of surprised each other and had some stuff in common okay so he surprised you with Beyonce. You surprised him with comics. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. I mean, that's cool. Yeah, yeah. So everything was cool. And then him and his group of friends were going to go to another bar, and they invited me, but I just said I was still waiting to meet my friends. Oh. You didn't even tell them that they were overwatching you the entire time?

I didn't tell them. I know I never told him. I think that's a smart move. That would be awkward to be like, actually, the only reason I'm talking to you is because I was there to be here. You either had to say it at the very beginning or not say it at all. Yeah. So how did you kiss him? Wait, did she

kiss him? I didn't kiss him. Oh, you didn't? I was just assuming. Okay. She airdropped cute pictures, not naughty pictures to him. Before he left, he had his phone out, so I was like, oh, are you going to put my number in? So I made sure he had my number before. I left him late, and then he texted me.

Oh, he did? Just right then, with his name. Got it. With Nate. Well, you're official now. That's what it takes. Just to Well, you're official now. That's what it takes. Just to save your name as girlfriend now. Yeah. Well, I mean, what you should have done is be like, oh, text me later.

And when my friends get here, maybe we can meet you guys. Since you would both have two groups of friends. It's a little clingy. It's too late, I guess, anyways. Yeah. Well, he did invite me. Yeah, you were invited. But the problem is, since then, I haven't heard from him.

And it's been like a week. And I did wait a few days. And then I just like thought it'd be funny again. We had like a fun banter. I just sent like one more, like another cute photo of me. So I'd be like, hi, I'm here. And he didn't respond? No, he liked it.

Oh, that's it? No, no, no, no, no. Just a thumbs up? Like a thumbs up like? That's worse than being left unread. I think it was a heart react. But I hate when someone just likes it and then doesn't respond. Yeah, yeah. We've actually had somebody do that before, and that was the whole reason that they weren't calling the other person back.

As long as no one emphasized it. The exclamation point? Question mark. Oh, God. Question mark would be worse, maybe. Well, at least there's a little hope that he loved the photo. Maybe he just got distracted and forgot to write anything. We'll see.

We're going to come back. We'll call Nate for you. Hot Nate. And try and get you your second date update right after this. Okay. All right, hold on. Second date update. During the break, I went and airdropped a little photo of myself to everybody in our office.

Oh, God. Jeffrey. And now, guess who scored a mandatory one-on-one date with the HR person at the end of the work day? Work like a jar. Sounds like somebody's getting disciplined. Oh, yeah. HR does not have a whip, Jeffrey. I'll just buy one and give it to them.

It just proves that that trick does work. And it worked even better for our listener, Ashlyn, who has dared to airdrop a photo of herself to everybody in a bar. And that's how she ended up meeting a guy named Nate. They had a really good conversation that night. She just needs our help moving things along

because nothing has really happened since they met. Well, I mean, I don't know that we brought it up earlier, but do you think that he was just maybe looking for that night? Do you know what I mean? Because he, like, invited her out. The hot girl in the photo was like, all right. Invited her out with his buddies,

and then when it didn't happen, it was that moment. It was all he wanted. I mean, do guys do that? They just, like, look for a one-time thing? That sounds so unlikely. Oh, yeah. We are looking for a one-time thing? That sounds so unlikely. Oh, yeah. We are looking for a one-time thing. A one-time lover to marry.

Yes. The one. The one. Exactly. Yeah, you girls with your one-nighters. It's disgusting. I'm not a Brooklyn player. Okay.

Ashlyn, I am sorry that you even had to hear that, Phil. Oh, yeah. Thanks. Oh, okay. Yeah, look what you did brooke you upset her just say you don't seem like a one night type of girl ashley not to me okay just brooke there's no type of girl that's one night type of girl you can be like that ashley okay it's not something i know i could but i'm not yeah well i'll tell you it's fun sometimes. Okay. Stop it.

Give it a try. It's pretty empowering sometimes. Let's move on. Please. Okay. Let's just call Nate, and hopefully that's not what he says. I'm hopeful for this. Okay, Mr. Romantic. Yeah, we're going to dial his number right now.

Here we go. Hello? hello what's wrong is this nate uh yeah this is nate hey uh sorry to call you randomly out of the blue we're a radio show called brooke and jeffrey in the morning ever heard of us i I don't know. That's all right. Okay. Why are you guys calling me? What's going on? Yeah, we're calling because one of our listeners asked us to reach out to you after you guys hung out the other night at a bar.

Her name is Ashlyn. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We're trying to figure out how you felt about ashlyn that night um i don't what did how much did she tell you uh well we we learned that you guys met because she airdropped a photo to you okay and you went up and talked to her at the bar you guys hung out for like 30 minutes or so and had a really nice conversation.

And she made a funny joke about her wanting to airdrop the weird cowboy that was sitting next to you instead. She was funny. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I mean, she was cool. We were just kind of hanging out, vibing. It was good. I don't know. It was cool.

Why'd you invite her out? She said that you invited her out with the group of your friends. So that must have been you were digging it, right? Yeah, no. We were having fun for the first little while. But things got kind of weird after she gave me her number. Why? What do you mean?

Like in your personal life? No, no, not for me. So we were just talking about stuff. And she was talking about how she liked Marvel movies and we were just, you know, she was like, oh yeah, you know, Avengers, Guardians, Black Panther. Yeah. She told us that.

And you were surprised by that. They're good movies. Well, no, I mean, it was cool. I was, I was a little surprised, you know, cause it's not that many girls are into that stuff. And I was, and I was just kind of like, I was trying to make a little fun joke when after she said that, like Black Panther, I was like, oh, Wakanda forever, you know because it's not that many girls are into that stuff and i was and i was just kind of like i was trying to make a little fun joke when after she said that like black panther i was like oh wakanda forever you know right that's like the famous line from that movie yeah of course you know i was just trying to like keep the thing going and she goes oh my god have you been

there to wakanda yeah i listen i thought i laughed just like you got like exactly that was exactly my reaction funny joke you know like i thought she was just making a joke yeah it's like have you ever been to neverland yeah right and she was like why are you laughing she's like i would love to go there she actually thought it was a real place? I think yes. No. Are you sure? Yeah. And she goes, oh, it's such a gorgeous country.

They're so open. They have great leaders. Oh, my God. We should go in mine for vibranium. If you've seen the movie, it's... She can't be serious. They're obviously fictitious movies. Yeah. I mean, didn't you tell her, like, you know, that's not a real place?

No, I didn't want to be the one to tell her that. Oh, no. You just let her believe? Yeah. I feel horrible because I need to tell you, Nate, she's been listening to this entire conversation. What an education. Oh, man. Oh, God. Yeah, she's on the other line. Still. What an education. Oh, man. Oh, God.

Yeah, she's on the other line still, I think. Ashlyn, are you there? Yeah, I don't get why you guys are laughing, though, because it's a real place. I'm so confused right now. Oh, no. Brooke, you tell her. You're sticking with this? Are you just trying to play dumb?

I'm being honest. I'm not dumb. It's a real place. And why do not dumb it's a real place and and why do you think it's a real place can i ask that like if you well it's just going there's the documentary about it a long time ago um what documentary what i don't remember what it was called um hotel wakanda i don't remember hotel w Wakanda? No, Hotel Rwanda. Oh, you're thinking Rwanda. That's a different one.

Oh, which is a country. It's a really good country. It's like the new... No, there's an African country called Rwanda. Oh, my God. It's like the best country in Africa. Okay. This isn't helping.

Wakanda. We all see the mistake. We get it, right? Nate, why don't you talk to Ashlyn about this a little bit? We're going to step back for a second here. Thanks, Jeff. Oh, thanks, guys. That's really nice of you.

You got this, buddy. You got this. We're all thanking Jeff. Great. Thank you so much. Remember, she's funny and cute. She is funny. Hi, Ashlyn.

How are you? Hey, Nate. What's up? Not much. I thank you for the pictures you sent me It was nice, you look cute Oh yeah, well I thought you Wanted to hang out but Now you guys are making fun of me on the radio

So I don't Listen, they called me into this Nobody's making fun of you I'm not making fun of you, I think you're a very nice person That's true I'm just laughing at a funny situation. Yeah. Wakanda isn't...

It's not a real place. It's a real place. It's in Africa. Listen, it can be a real place in your heart. It's a newer country. They've had wars about it. It's up and coming. You guys, this doesn't sound like an argument we're going to win with you. What's the point?

We're going to waste time here now. You just need to go do some, do your own research. Take a trip there together. Oh, no. Don't say do your own research. She's going to confirm it's a real country. Well, I support Wakanda. So as long as everyone's on the right side of history.

We all do. More power. Wakanda forever. Absolutely. We all support Wakanda and everybody who lives there, real or not. What we're more focused on is trying to get you two together for a date. We'll pay for that date if you're willing to go and meet her one more time. Jeff, can we fly him to Wakanda?

We're not going to offer to fly you to Wakanda. We're going to pay for a second date, Nate, if you're up for it. I mean, okay, She may be a little misinformed, but she's still fun. And we'll send you to a restaurant that only serves Wakandan cuisine. We're fresh out of Italian stuff, so you're going to have to do Wakandan food.

Do they eat in that movie? I don't think that one thing was eaten in that movie. We're going to ask Nate to find out for us. He'll come back with a review on how the Wakandan restaurant was. Good luck finding a place. What do you say, Nate? One more date? Like, I like hanging out with her. It's great.

It's a yes or a no, Nate. This is not a very complicated question. Can we figure out the Wakanda thing first? We might be here for hours. It doesn't sound like it. We tried that already. I would say yes if we don't have to talk about Wakanda, and I would say no if it's that big of a deal to you.

All right. Well, I'm just going to read in between the lines and say it's sounding like a no here. And they already had their honeymoon spot figured out. A beautiful Wakandan sunset. I'm not going to go to a fourth world country On my honeymoon I didn't even know there were that many We're not going to resolve this on the radio

Why don't you guys text each other off the air And you can figure out if you want to see each other again or not There's a world somewhere Where we do go on our honeymoon In Wakanda I'm sure That's a good attitude He wants to take her out and do mushrooms, it sounds like. You guys have fun, okay?

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
