Lately, we've been asking people on this segment to pull up their apps and have them read off the other person's dating profile. Just to get an idea of who they are in a different kind of way.

Right. Instead of us just asking boring questions like, who are they? Totally. And I don't know if my co-hosts really like that strategy or not i do i think i didn't ask whether you did i'm just saying i didn't know but i'm curious what our audience thinks so text in to 7592 tell us do you like us having them read stuff off of the dating bios and today we have samantha on the line samantha are you cool if we did that with you? Because I know some people think of it as a little bit of an invasion of privacy.

I personally call it getting the juicy deets. I think it's the same thing. Yeah, you down to spill some juice on the B&J? Yeah, of course. All right, good. Pull up the guy's profile and tell us what's his name. Okay, one second. You can't do two things at once,

Samantha? His name is Ian. His name is Ian. Okay. Oh, Ian. Okay. And what app are we on? Can I ask that? Okay, we're on Hinge. I got it. We're on Hinge. Okay. Now splash some fresh-squeezed Ian juice on us. Tell us what's on his profile. No. That's a different app.

I'm just trying to get the juice. Yeah, that's not... Okay. I guess read what it says. Okay. So on his bio, his interests say comedy, hip-hop, and pizza. Pretty basic, but good. He likes to laugh and he likes pizza. He's a real rebel. But at least it's not the opposite.

He's like, I like not laughing and vegetables. Then it'd be more boring. That's a good way to look at it. So he can relate. What else is on there? Okay, so later in his profile, there's a prompt that to look at it what else is on there okay so later in his profile there's a prompt that says i get way too excited about and he put birds is he old is that why he said that you don't need to be old i am a bird watcher and i can tell you it's a hoot i think oh no no brooke's laughing on the inside

what did you think of that did you did you like that he was into bird watching i mean i like animals so i was like all right i guess we can do the bird i wonder if he's like me he knows how to spot a woodpecker or a red belly sap sucker bird jokes they're always good is that a joke yeah yeah okay okay whatever just move on what else is this guy right what else does he say about himself okay so um under the worst date idea i've ever had he wrote getting bangs not good oh i thought it was funny. I don't know. I thought it was a verb and that would have been worse.

They went and got haircuts together. So he's a guy with bangs that likes birds. Well, at least he admitted that was a bad idea. He's relatable. Does he still have bangs in his profile picture? No. That's good. Yeah, so we started messaging and it was, I don't know, it was really easy and natural? No. Okay, that's good. Yeah, so we started messaging, and it was, I don't know,

it was, like, really easy and natural with him. Oh, that's cool. It must be good pictures if you swipe to that. What did you guys end up going to do for your date? We met up at a bar for some drinks. Okay. Nice. Yeah, I don't think a lot of people liked me there, though,

because I kept playing Macklemore's surf shot, like, I'm going to pop some cash. Like on the jukebox? Yeah, yeah. Okay, you know, that could just be a troll. I have a friend, they have Wi-Fi jukeboxes now, who lives down the street from a bar, and he will troll the bar and play, like,

Mbop or, like, other funny songs over and over. She was singing. It didn't sound like a troll to me. Oh, yeah, no, i literally played it like 10 times it's a good song though uh not once it was yeah i mean i love that song like ian thought it was funny he liked the song too he thought it was funny 10 times that's literally 30 minutes of that song yeah everyone else thought it was really annoying and was staring, but. Oh, no.

Oh, God. At least you're self-aware. Was this a highlight for you or a lowlight? It was a highlight because then he was really sweet and he was like, well, can you, like, blame them for staring at you when you look this good? Oh, that's cute. Plus, sometimes it's nice to have that, like, us against the room mentality. Yeah.

Like, everyone here hates us, but we like it. He's a little bit cheesy like pizza. I like that. Or like you right now. Is there a cheese bird? Did anything else happen? Was there some bird watching on this date? No bird watching.

Oh, see, that's why he's not coming back. Jeff, not even pigeons on the screen? There's always an opportunity. What else happened? I don't know. I paid him a compliment back, and I was like, you're the only guy I'm interested in online. Oh. That's a big thing to say.

That's a bold statement. How did he respond? Well, he actually ended up kissing me while we were sitting at the bar. Oh, my goodness. What kind of kiss? It was a great date. Like an open mouth kiss or a peck? Like a bird peck. God. It was a passionate kiss, I'm sure. Was it a of kiss? It was a great date. Like open mouth kiss or a peck? Like a bird peck.

It was a passionate kiss, I'm sure. Was it a passionate kiss? Yeah, it was a good kiss. Okay. That is so cute. This is all sounding really good. How did you guys end the evening? So it started getting late and he offered to walk me home.

Okay. He gave me a piggyback ride home and then again at my door classic oh and then you guys made out again at your door you said yeah it was cute um but we've been texting and trying to get a second date on the books and nothing's really been working with my schedule and i was like please don't think i'm blowing you off because i'm definitely not yeah oh wait so you're worried that he thinks you're blowing him off it's not the other way around i mean it was like that originally but then it went so long and it took him like such a long time to respond and he finally said a day later like yeah sorry i don't think it's gonna work oh after you said please like i'm not trying to blow you off he still was

like never mind yeah so i'm like really confused. Why would he say that? He's not answering me anymore. So that's why I reached out to you guys. This is like the telltale sign of like, I got back with my ex or I met somebody else. Really? There's nothing wrong. There's no red flags at all. See, I think that he thinks you're trying to blow him off.

Even though you said it. And he wants to get ahead of it. He wants to be like, I'm rejecting you. You're not rejecting me. I think he thought that was just a pity text maybe well let's see if he rejects us when we try and call him no guarantee he'll answer can't reject a burn expert from we're gonna do it with your second date update next hold on second date update except for the 15 straight Macklemore songs, we heard maybe the best first date that we've heard on this show in a long time. And we normally don't get those. Where the guy piggybacks her home, kisses her on the doorstep,

and then for the next few days, they both try to figure out how to hang out again. And for whatever reason, they just can't. And it dissolves. Well, and he even says, like, it's over. I'm not even going to pursue this anymore. After trying for so long. And you know what? I call that the dating magic window

because there's usually about 48 hours after your first date where you need to capitalize on that high feeling and see each other again or the spark goes away and things just kind of fizzle out she did say she kind of took a while at first but then she clarified and said hey i'm really sorry i've been super busy i wasn't trying to ghost you or anything so maybe that's what it comes down to maybe things just took too long and it fizzled is that what you're thinking samantha i have no idea i hope it's not that because i really like him. See, I think you should hope it is that because that is easy for us to fix.

We can re-fizzle, unfizzle situation. Let's just call Ian now. Okay, I'm ready. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Ian? It is. Hey, Ian.

Just want to say one fellow bird watcher to another. Oh, God. How's it going, man? Oh, I thought there was going to be like a bird. What? Like chirp of the morning to you. Okay. There it is.

It was a dove. What's going on? Hey, man. You're on the radio. We're the way the Bird Watchers Association calls us. Yeah. Also, you're on the radio with Brooke and Jeffrey right now. What?

Yeah. Hey. Not sure if you listen to us, but. We're the number one bird show in the country. That is a verifiable fact. And we're also a show that does something called a second date update. You ever heard of that? I'm not familiar.

Well, you're about to be because you're on one now. We're trying to help out one of our listeners named Samantha, who you went out on a date with recently. Is that ringing a bell? That was like several weeks ago. Yeah. And the thing is, your date is a little bit strange compared to most of the ones that we do because it actually sounded like a good time and then afterwards you two were trying to set up another hangout but it sounds like maybe it took too long or samantha was too busy and the

spark may have died off uh she said you guys were texting after your date and that you were trying to plan something and then suddenly you were just like, nah, I'm done. Yeah, I mean that's true, but like she started sending like mixed messages and like online dating's pretty tough as it is, so I'm not into playing games and so

I'm just over it. What do you mean that she was sending mixed messages? When you meet somebody, you go out on a date, it's cool. And, like, I understand, like, not checking your profile and, like, actively, like, just sort of focusing on one person. That's the way I am. Yeah. Okay.

She said she told you that she didn't want to date anybody else, that she was going to focus on you. Oh, right. Remember? And then right after that, you kissed her. That's all true. And at the time, I like totally believed it. What happened to change that thought?

Right after the date, things were good. But like, we spent like a few days texting back and forth trying to figure out when to hang out again. Yeah. And like, during that time, I told my friends, I'd sent a couple of photos saying like, you know, I'm going out with this cute girl, Samantha, like, wish me luck. Oh, cute. Yeah. So you're that excited. Yeah. And they were like they couldn't have been like more excited for me. However, a couple of days later, one of my good friends texted me, hey, what was that girl you went out with? Is this her? Oh, no. Oh, no.

What did they send you? What was the girl you went out with? Is this her? Oh, no. Oh, no. What did they send you? What was the picture of? Well, it was on a different dating app. Okay. That she had matched with him and had reached out to him, not knowing that he's my buddy. And her profile photo on Bumble is the photo of the outfit she was wearing the night we went out in front of the bar we were at

did you take a picture of her that night it must have been before our date because she was by herself but it was clearly the bar we were at her go-to oh man i'm sorry she must have looked really good that night if she had to take that picture and post it on her new day maybe she came back after. You guys, like, benefit of the doubt, what if she just messaged your buddy after you had told her, no, I'm good, I'm going to move on? Remember? Because she said it wasn't working and you guys couldn't link up on a date. Like, she didn't say, like.

She created a new profile picture from the night that they went out. Well, she didn't say, I'm your girlfriend. She's still interested but she said i'm the only you're the only guy i'm interested in never say that to someone well maybe that was true in that moment that's totally fine but don't say that like you're not interested or that you're only interested in one person like do what you want okay so you feel like you were being deceived by her and I understand that because kind of we've been deceiving you at the same time by not telling you Samantha's on the other line. What?

She's been listening. And she's wearing that same outfit. I'm glad she's listening because, you know, like I said, what I told you, I'll tell her. Go ahead. Why would you tell somebody that all you wanted to do was date this one person and that they were the only one for you? And then that day, start a new dating profile from the photo the night we were out. Okay.

That's a lot. Calm down, bro. Samantha? Hi. Say hi. There you go. Okay. All right.

Now answer his 20 questions. Well, this is really awkward. Why did you say that to him? I mean, I really did like him. And we were talking. And I don't know. I feel like when you're on those apps, you just keep your options open. But, like, he was the only one I was actively talking to like that

and going on dates with and interested in. That's rich. Oh, because you said something to his buddy. Yeah. Literally in the days we were texting back and forth that she then matches with my buddy and then tells him it's Bumble. She had to reach out to him, say, hey, let's go out.

I mean, I could like, I'll send you the screenshot to their conversation. No, you no i want to see them yeah maybe maybe it was like a butt match or a butt text she accidentally swiped and sent him a message is that what happened samantha give you the benefit of the doubt i mean to be fair i I wasn't having, like, any serious conversation with him. It was very introductory, and I was trying to keep my options open very light. I was not going deep with anyone. I wanted to go on a second date with him. Yeah, that makes sense.

And her profile picture on Hinge is the profile picture you took on the dates with those other guys. Oh, come on. We're piling on Samantha. And, like, I can see, like, she's caught up in the moment. She's really excited about you. She says something that maybe isn't 100% true, right, Samantha? Yeah. But it's not like she's, like, outright cheating on you, man.

It's less of a red flag for me that you're dating around. It definitely is. People like to match for fun. That's a good point, especially when you're feeling a little bit down. You're feeling like you're rejected and the second date isn't happening. You want that confidence boost with one of his close friends. And I didn't know it was his friend. Okay, let's not say that.

That sounds bad. I didn't know I'd get caught is what you mean by that, Samantha. Well, in the spirit of saying things that might not be 100% true, would you like to go out on another date? Wait. I am not at all interested in going out. Are you serious? Samantha, like, you're great and all, but I could never trust you.

I mean, literally the night we went out, you created a new profiler in the next couple of days. And, like, I'll never be able to trust you again. Like, it's just a waste of both of our times. It wasn't a new profile. She just updated her photo. Yeah. Okay. I mean, come on.

Hail Mary, what if we send you to the bird sanctuary together? Oh, yeah, you like birds. That's right. The birds can help. You can't say no to birds. What's the bird thing about? Why does that matter? Oh.

Oh, we never told. That's right. I thought you were into birds, bro. On your profile. Do you feel deceived, Jeffrey? Oh, we never told. That's right. I thought you were into birds, bro. On your profile. Do you feel deceived, Jeffrey? You're lying to me. What is going on? I never want to talk to you again.

Don't ever call on this show ever. Hang up on us. Screw you, Ian. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
