Listen to Better Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts from. Second date update. You know, it's not very often we have a first date go international. Ooh, fun. And we're not talking House of Pancakes international. That's also fun, though.

I mean, grab a passport, hop a plane, get the full TSA how-do-you-do experience. Did they just go for that part? Maybe. That's what I just go to the airport for. But let's talk to this world traveler named Zach. Welcome to the show, man. Or should I say, guten-tight to El Show. I think you just mixed a bunch of languages together. Pretty sure I nailed it.

So, Zach, what's up, man? How you doing? I'm doing good. Thanks for having me, guys. I appreciate it. Oh, I'm so excited to hear your story. Did you meet this lady here, or is it an international love that you found? So, we actually met on a private jet.

What? Whoa. Sorry, you said private jet, and we all freaked out. We don't know a lot of the people that have those. Brooke didn't really react well. Oh, my God. Yeah, you said private jet and we all freaked out. We don't know a lot of the people that have those. Brooke didn't really react well. Oh, my God. Yeah, right. How did you meet her there?

She was actually working the flight. She was one of our attendants. Oh, one of our attendants. Why were you there? I was there because I am just a regular civilian, but my friend sold his company and was treating me. Oh. Fun.

Oh. Does your friend need any more friends? Yeah. I think you're too late. You got to get into the ground level with these people, you know? Oh, yeah. They've already taken off. Okay.

That's awesome, man. What was her name? Lainey. Lainey. A Lainey. Lainey or a Lainey? It was actually with an M, which was cool. Lainey. Lainey. Lainey. Yeah. Like the horse is Lainey. A laney. Lamey or a laney? It was actually with an M, which was cool. Lamey.

Lamey. Yeah, like the horse is lame. Exactly. She's gone farther in life than any of us have. Wait, now where does she live? She lives right here. Oh, she does. I don't think we can make international calls.

So tell us how that went. It went really good. Like, usually they do domestic flights, but because it was international, it was a little longer than normal. So she had, like, a lot of time to chat. And I got to kind of know her and, like, her world. Like, I didn't even realize renting these jets is, like, $15,000 an hour. Whoa. Dang.

Brooke, that's, like, what, your daycare expense or what is that? I paid that just two hours ago, but that's still a lot. Wow. Yeah, right. That's crazy. I mean, was she just being nice or was there like a vibe between you two? Oh, there was a vibe. Towards the end of the flight, I actually like checked in with her and I was like, you

know, I bet you every guy does this, but I just feel bad the rest of my trip like oh you didn't go for it so i just asked her out and she was like i'd love to go out with you and we actually actually ended up going out for drinks the very next night wow because she stays on the whole trip with you yeah because we were flying back on the same uh jet yeah so they were there for a couple days too. Hey. Did she buy? Because I heard that those flight attendants on private jets make a lot of cash.

Yeah, I heard they make good money. I don't know about the salary, but she was telling me how much people tip. And I don't want to say that publicly, but I was like,

oh, wow, that's cool. Oh, I would imagine it's a lot of money. You said, oh, well, that's cool, while like stifling all of your shop. You think she was maybe

trying to hint to you what she was hoping you would do at the end of your trip? Me, maybe my buddy. I think she could tell that I wasn't the kind of guy that's in that social economic group. Why? Because my eyes were wide and my jaw was just on the floor. I was like, excuse me, that's a tip? Yeah.

Dude, I'd be jumping on the queen size bed in the back like, wee, I can't believe there's a bed here. Is there a bed inside the plane? Private jets? Yeah. Zach, was there a bed in your plane? There was. Oh, there was? There's not always.

Yeah, but I would imagine. I went on our company's private jet one time, and there's no bed. Yeah, and I did not act like I'd been there before. I was very excited. I bet there was a bed on that plane, but they just didn't want you in it. Oh.

Well, that hurts, Jeffrey that hurts sorry let's get let's get back to uh to lamey how are drinks it was great she's like super pretty really sweet we were talking about family and then she was telling me like her goals about how one day she actually wants to fly but she wants to be a pilot that's so cool man dude that's awesome yeah i thought it was super cool and I was super supportive of that. We did make out a little bit. You did? That was fun.

Yeah. So what went wrong, bro? I don't know. Now that we're back home, I noticed on her IG that she's back here, but I feel like I'm the one trying to reconnect more. She's not ghosting me per se, but whenever I text, she'll'll text back but she won't initiate or come back with another question or anything i bet though she gets hit on so much yeah you know what i mean like she's like beautiful woman with big goals like she sounds amazing yeah do you think she was amazed by you too i mean i hope so

like i'm a great guy you know i care of myself too, so I think anybody would be lucky to be with me as well. That's good confidence. I like that. That's probably what she saw in you. She's probably so used to rich guys in suits and then you are a down-to-earth dude. Yeah, that's some wishful thinking for sure. I'm trying to be nice, Jen.

I mean, she told you her Insta. She wouldn't give that to a creepy old guy. That's also true. Oh, you think he's old? No, I'm just saying. The Norman guys. Okay, so how long has it been since you've been back home and been trying to set up a date with Lamey?

Two weeks now. Two weeks. Oh, yeah. And you saw that she's here, so it's not even like the travel is the problem. She's out of town. Exactly. And you know know the craziest thing is like we connected but like she found me on ig and added me so i was like oh she's excited you know that was when we got back and then it's just been like nothing yeah well you don't have anything on your ig like you running from the law or anything like that it's not like you're it's

not like your instagram i think we have an international investigation to do here. Yeah, well, she's not a spy. I don't know what she is. But she sounds awesome. I'm just saying this call might cost extra if it goes overseas. Are we charging him? Yeah, Zach, you're going to cover me, right? I'm good.

Sweet. All right. Ask your friend at least. Yeah, we'll send the bill to you after we do your second date update next. Second date update. Well, Jose is already called dibs. If things don't work out for Zach and Lamey, Jose wants to shoot his shot.

I love you some flight attendants, bro. Is that okay with you, man? Sure thing. Awesome. And Alexis has called dibs on the private jet, wherever that's going next. She doesn't even care who's on it. Yeah, forget your friend.

I'm attached to the plane. But it's not hard to understand why everybody wants Lainey right now. Because she's a luxury flight attendant for private jets. And that's where Zach met her, aboard the plane that his rich friend rented for a trip abroad. I mean, she's attractive. She's a future pilot. Has amazing perks if you date her. Yeah, so cool, man.

Zach was lucky enough to meet her and ask her out, and they had a nice little date overseas. They even made out. But now that they're back home, Lamey is acting kind of lame and not calling him back. I wouldn't use that when they talk to her. That's her name, guys. Come on.

Yeah, I mean, it just lent itself to it. But, Zach, how we feeling here? Confidence level on a scale of one to ten? Shoot, guys. Seven. Ooh.

Actually, it's higher than I expected. Yeah. But it might not be high enough for Lamey who's used to dealing with tens on her flights all the time.

So we gotta bump that up somehow. That can be exhausting. Yeah, for real. You know, you don't want to be around that all the time. So we've got to bump that up somehow. That can be exhausting. Yeah, for real. You know, you don't want to be around that all the time. Okay. Well, maybe just like me bump it up one more to an eight. Sure. 7.5.

We can do that. Can you bump up your confidence a little bit, please? Raise the elevation. I'm going in with the team. Let's go with an eight. There you go. We're in control here. We're going to convince her you're amazing.

Okay. Yeah. We'll back you up. You are amazing. We don't have to convince her. Yeah, that's right, Brooke. Come on. Okay, Brooke, careful with back you up. You are amazing. We don't have to convince her. Yeah, that's right, Brooke. Come on. Okay, Brooke, careful with your words.

Let's do this. We're calling her. Let's get your second date update. Hello? Hello. I'm trying to book a private flight, and I heard that you got the hookup. The hookup? I'm not sure you're that from, but no, I don't.

You're a flight attendant, right? I am. Do you take coupons for 10% off for 15 grand an hour? No, you have to do this to your company. I'm sorry. I can't help you. It's a joke. He's joking.

Yeah, sorry. Am I? I don't know. If it worked, you wouldn't be. Sorry. I can't help you. It's a joke. He's joking. Yeah, sorry. Am I? I don't know. If it worked, you wouldn't be. Sorry, I'm messing with you. My name is Jeff. We're a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Sorry to bother you. Okay. Sorry. We

heard about you from one of our listeners who says that he met you during an international flight. His name is Zach. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. You remember Zach. Okay.

Yeah, I do. We just assume you have a lot of people as a flight attendant coming in and out of your life all the time, maybe. I do, but he was a little different. That's good. Well, we're trying to get some answers here because we're doing something called a second date update. And Zach told us that he had a great time when he met you and

hanging out with you abroad but since he's gotten back he's been hoping to hang out again and that's not happening is there a reason for that it's not happening no um he's different from any of the other passengers that i come across and you right? Different good or different bad? No, different good. Really nice and genuine, but he's disappointing. He's disappointing? He's disappointing, yeah. But what man isn't? Thank you, Jeff.

I'm glad you guys said it. We're all going to disappoint you in our own special way. How did he do it? This is just fast. He's very nice, but he kept calling me the wrong name. Oh. And that's. Wait a minute.

Wait, isn't your name Lamy? With an M? No, an N. Lamy. L-A-M-E. Oh my God. That's what we thought. That's what we thought he said. And we had him clarify like three or four times.

He's okay. Yeah, no, it's Lamy. Why would you not correct him? Well, I tried to correct it because I friended him on Instagram. Oh, so you thought he was... Oh my God, because it's your Instagram handle. Yeah, I mean, I tried to drop him a hint

on there, but apparently he did not pick up on it. Men are the worst at attention to detail sometimes. Sometimes. Not all the time, but God, come on. You're right about that. I understand that must be really, really frustrating for somebody to get your name wrong for a very long time. But it's a simple mistake.

Like, we can work through that. Understood, but that's not, like, the only thing. Like, he's not a very detailed, oriented person. Okay. What do you mean? How else did that come up? Like, I told him that i would be back for three days and maybe we could see each other within those three days and then i was leaving at five o'clock

on the third day and he texted me at like seven was like hey you want to go for drinks oh yeah i mean i could see a person like you who's very schedule-oriented would need somebody who could pay attention to that stuff. But also, like, we talked on our date about, like, do you have any family? I said, yeah, I have a brother. But then I said, okay, well, I'm out of town. I'm not home because I told you I was leaving today. And he said, oh, are you going to visit your sister? And I was like, no, I have a brother.

Didn't he listen to anything? At least remember that you had a sibling. I mean, from the name to the sibling in between, it's frustrating. Remembering little things about anybody is always a huge... Those aren't even little. Yeah, but for my job, I'm required to do that for customers. Like, why can't they do it for me? Yeah, and like when you're interested in someone, like really excited about someone,

I always feel like it's easier to remember everything about them. But it could also come off looking a little weird if you remember everything about them. Oh, maybe he's doing it on purpose. So maybe he's throwing her off. I could see that. Yeah, like I'm not that interested in you. I bet you don't even have a mom. Yeah.

I can stop hearing that. Whatever your name is. What was your name, right? Rainy. But I can tell you for certain that he really does like you. He does. Oh, I bet he's so embarrassed listening to this. And you don't have to trust us.

You can hear it directly from Zach himself, because he's on the other line right now and wants to talk to you. Oh, gosh. Zach, talk to Laney with an Oh, gosh. Zach, talk to Lainey with an N. Yes. Hey, Lainey. You said it right. Oh, Zach. Hi.

I just want to say I'm disappointed in myself. I didn't realize, and it's such a dumb mistake, like I should have noticed on your Instagram, your name. Yeah. That's the worst. And I don't have, like, a solid reason. Everything she's saying is absolutely true. I just really liked her.

I was nervous. I know now she's saying she's telling about her brothers and stuff, too. And I remembered, like, a sibling. But the whole time, I was just ultra self-conscious, just like talking to myself while even talking to her, like, don't mess this up. Don't mess this up. Lainey, are you hearing him?

What do you think? I hear him. I, um, yeah. That doesn't sound very good. I think that's pretty sweet. That's pretty earnest. You sound like such a catch. And, you know, he isn't on private planes very often.

He's meeting this beautiful woman. Like, you could see how it'd be really overwhelming. And maybe Zach was just, like, so mesmerized by how beautiful you are when you saw your Instagram. That's not helpful. That's not really helpful. It's just like such an engaging, beautiful, gorgeous eyes on her profile photo. I bet. I bet.

You just look into her eyes. Why is her being pretty bad? I don't understand. Why is it bad to call a woman beautiful? Because it's like. The way you're saying. No. You said that she's so distracting that she's such a beautiful object. He can't even listen to anything that's coming out of her mouth. You're not going to date a guy that's like... The way you're saying... No. You said that she's so distracting, that she's such a beautiful object, he can't even listen

to anything that's coming out of her mouth. You're not going to date a guy that's like that. And clearly, y'all are forgetting the line of work that I work in. What does that have to do with anything? Because I'm with men who have a lot of money and who are taking these jets, and yeah, they feel like they can just call you whatever they want. Oh, that makes sense. Not listen to anything.

But we know for a fact that Zach doesn't have a lot of money like all those other men. Yeah. Isn't that true, Zach? I understand, but, like, I thought he was different, but it just never got any better. Well, no, I'm so, like, we haven't heard from Zach at all. That was just me speculating. Like, Zach, we could clear this up right now. You can tell her that you don't find her beautiful at all.

Yeah, you better. We've learned. That up right now. You can tell her that you don't find her beautiful at all. Yeah, you better. We've learned. That is not bad. You guys. Zach? Yeah, I thought she was wonderful. Not just like, yeah, physically, of course. Obviously.

Careful. You're treading on dangerous ground with that. Oh, my God. Stop it. I agree with her. Like, I was nervous. Maybe I just messed this up and that's that. But, like, I would love another chance to try

to play it cooler i mean laney if you're willing to go out with him and give him one more shot we would pay for another date i think he deserves another chance hopefully you do accept that coupon thing because it's international gift card yeah i don't know he does seem like a genuinely good guy he does seem like a very nice person. I just don't think this is the route that I want to take. I think I'm good. All right. Darn it.

Okay. Should we do like a detour route? Maybe like a connecting flight to it? I think the flight's canceled. I think it's canceled. Oh. Yeah. Zach.

I'm sorry, man. Oh, it's okay. It happens. It's a good lesson for you, right? Yeah, man. Don't call women beautiful. No. How about remember their name?

I think it's just a start. Good idea, Brandy. We'll remember that. Brooke and Brandy in the morning. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. 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. Joel, the holidays are a blast, but the financial hangover, that can be a huge bummer.
