Second Date Update. A lot of guys like a woman who's down to get dirty. Oh. Ooh. Okay. You're darn right, Jim. Where do you find someone like that, though? Like, Brooks Hometown?

Sure. Craigslist? Of course. Yeah. Let's go. The pole over back at Brooks Hometown? We already covered that.

But no, our listener Justin found his special dirty lady. Let me guess, at Craigslist and Brooks Hometown. No. We're coming back again. My hometown isn't big enough at Craigslist in Brooks' hometown. No.

My hometown isn't big enough for Craigslist. Oh, got it, got it. He found her in the community garden. Oh. Finger deep in literal dirt. Oh. You're like really dirty. Justin, you like a dirty girl, huh?

Okay. What? Justin, don't come in with that laugh. The girls get it. Is that the reason why you're on the phone with us? Well, yeah, we did not meet on a dating app. Shocker. Okay.

You met over a flower bed. That's sweet. That's kind of romantic, kind of dirty. She was planting veggies, peas, carrots, whatever. There's some nice bulbs you got over there. Stop it. That's really cute. Can we know what her name is?

Yeah. Yeah, Katie. Katie. She sounds like a sweet girl. I don't frequent community gardens, but I assume people who do go there often, right, to tend. Well, you have to take care of your right so is it something where you had seen katie multiple times before you actually went up and talked to her yes the first time i actually got the courage to talk to her it's very casual and i did we did not exchange numbers or anything it's more like talking about garden

and i asked what she was planting she told told me veggies. Oh, wow. You got right into the naughty stuff. Yeah, I got right into the dirt. Wow. Good for you. So then I saw her a day or two later. She was back at the garden. So then I went up to her and I was like, oh, yo, how's the radishes? And I got like a little chuckle from her.

Okay. Look at you, Mr. Humor. How are your radishes? I don't know if I see what the joke is. Yeah, she was thinking that I actually care what she was planting, but I didn't. I just wanted to talk to her. Oh, that's a weird... Yeah, I don't

care about... It's a weird confession. Hopefully she doesn't listen back to this if it works out. At least you're honest. I mean, I told her, like, you know, after we chatted, then I got her number and I said, hey, there's a cute pub like a few blocks away. She wanted to go for a drink after. Oh, look at you.

Okay. Were you talking this fast when you asked her to? Because you seem a little nervous right now. Was I talking fast? I don't know. She's definitely nervous. This girl comes off a little bit sexy. I think that's what Brooke was trying to say.

I'm rather sexy than nervous. Yeah. comes off a little bit sexy. I think that's what Brooke was trying to say. I'm rather sexy than nervous. Yeah. Okay. We're sexy nervous. It's coming through right now. So you took her to a pub? Yes, and it was cool. Oh.

Everything was going great, but then the next day I texted her and nothing. Okay. Well, can we talk a little bit more about your time at the pub? Like, was flirting happening? Like any, I mean, I try, like, I don't know how good my game is, but I tried. It's working on us right now, dude. So keep it going. I do have a confession though, that I didn't tell her. Okay. Oh, beside the radish question that you didn't really care about. Yeah. What? I, it wasn Okay, how do I say this?

We, I knew she was going to be there. Going to be where? At the pub? Because, yeah, you invited her there. No, at the garden. What do you mean? How'd you know? Well, okay, my parents are on this dating app where parents kind of meet up with other parents to find dates for their single, like, young adults.

Wait, that exists. Oh no. There's a dating app for parents to meddle in their kids' lives. I know. Please do not tell us what the name of this site is. No, no, I'm not. I'm not telling you, but Katie's parents were in on it. Katie doesn't know.

I don't think, but her parents were on it, and they're so down. They talked to my parents. And I know this sounds strange, but. Yeah, I'm just trying to. This is a site where parents meet up with each other to figure out if their kids would be a good match. Yeah, they're basically like. It's basically like arranged dating. Yeah.

Right? So you're saying Katie's parents told your parents Katie will be at the garden from three to five. Your son should show up then. Yeah. So I got a plot. Whoa. I don't even garden.

I don't know how to garden. Whoa. You don't even know how to garden? Not really. I mean, I was just digging holes. I mean, I was just like, I was digging holes in the dirt pretending. Oh my God. So you just got a plot to meet her.

I got a sun hat. I got a sun hat. Okay. You didn't have to go that hard. A bunch of water. That's all you need, really. Okay. So this would be fine if Katie knew her parents were doing this, but she doesn't know?

No, I don't think so. I mean, she didn't mention anything, and I just don't want to freak her out. Katie's being like, well, at least your parents already approve of me right yeah i wonder if her parents know that she's not responding to you now how long has it been it's been like about five days and have you told your parents that she hasn't responded yeah and her mother actually reached out to me wait katie's mother reached out to you yeah and she said i think you would be perfect for her. Now you want more people in on this? Like, you've got two sets of parents already involved, and you want us involved, too.

I don't know why I can't have my own relationship. I don't want to be the extra house. It's odd that the most natural thing in this entire situation is actually the fact that you're calling a radio show to intervene in your dating life. It's like we're a community garden. We've got the radio. We've got the parents. We're just trying

to grow a relationship here. It takes a team. Remember, Justin hates community gardens and doesn't care about them. He just doesn't know about it yet. But I will learn.

I mean, if me and her go on more dates, I'll have her talk to me about the garden. Like, educate me. Nothing like faking an interest to get in with somebody. Yeah, I'll have her talk to me about the garden. Like, educate me. Nothing like faking an interest to get in with somebody. Yeah, I mean, who doesn't do that?

Yeah. We're going to share that sentiment with Katie when we come back and call her and try and get you a second date update right after this. Okay, Dirty Boy? Yes. Hold on. Yes. Second date update. We're in the middle of a second date call and when we left i told justin that we'd call katie and share the sentiment and i'm seeing people texting in at 78592 telling me

don't do that don't blow his cover about his parents matchmaking app wait you said that we were going to tell her that i didn't hear that that. That's not what I meant at all. I just meant share the sentiment that he really likes her and is eager to learn more about gardening. He really doesn't want to do that, but he says he's willing to try, maybe. And I guess the more important question, though, that we need to talk about

is, are we all okay with hiding the fact that her parents matched her with a guy without her knowledge on a dating site for parents that hook up their grown kids with each other. I don't know. I mean, Justin, what do you think? Do you feel weird about your parents finding you a lover? Well, you know when you, like, date somebody,

you have to meet their parents, and it's always awkward, and you're nervous? Like, are the parents already approving me? That's, like, you know? It's a good thing. It's like a credit card. You're pre-approved. The best relationships can come from, like, arrangements, honestly. Like, your parents know you best. They really do. Yeah, I watch Bridgerton.

They end up really cute. Yes. All for voting to bring marriage and relationships back to the 1920s. Say hi. Hi. Brooke, it was Brooke's idea. I don't know. It was your idea.

Hey, listen, listen. If we're allowing algorithms to help us find love, why wouldn't we let our parents also help us? Those algorithms are awful. We're trying for a one in a million chance here. And I'm just going to say, we're not going to reveal the parents' matchmaking app. But Justin, if you want to do that,

that's totally up to you. I do feel like you should do it at some point. Yeah, I mean, we'll see. Yeah, just feel it out, all right? I'm going to call her right now. Okay. Hello? Hey, is this Katie?

Mm-hmm. Is it? I don't know why I'm nervous. Yeah, I'm a little nervous too I don't know if you're feeling nervous Katie about being on a radio show right now because you are what?

welcome to our show Katie we're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning we do a radio show and we're trying to do a segment right now called the second date update wow so we're trying to reach out segment right now called the second date update. Wow. Yeah. Okay.

So we're trying to reach out on behalf of one of our listeners who you went out with recently named Justin. We're trying to read your vibe on if you liked him or not. I mean, I'm exiting another relationship right now. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Oh, so things are a another relationship right now. Oh. Oh. Yeah. Oh, so things are a little messy right now. I mean, yeah, I don't really want to talk about it. It ended a few weeks ago.

Okay. But Justin just seems so, like, sweet and kind and, like, I just don't want to really get into it until I'm, like, fully unattached. That's good. Okay. That's actually a really mature thing. Yeah. That's good. Okay. That's actually a really mature thing. Yeah. So you actually liked him.

You're just not calling him back because you didn't want. That's like out of respect to him. Right. I don't know what you know about him, but he's a dork, but he's just really sweet. But he was just so honest and so kind and just so transparent. Like I just felt like I knew him. And I just also feel like I've gone out with so many people

kind of being crazy or a liar or they're hiding something. And it just feels like... We don't like anything like that. Can't trust people. For once, like, I was like, okay, like, this guy's actually really sweet. All the cards on the table right up front. He sounds genuine, but we know he's, like, not.

Well, I think he's pretty genuine. Pretty. 99.9% at least. I will say he's like not. Well, I think he's pretty genuine. Pretty. 99.9% at least. I will say he is very earnest. He does sound a little dorky in a sweet way. Hunky dorky. Yeah, I'm going to tell you. Hunky dorky.

Hot dork. Hot dork. That's the new in term. I'm with you, Jeff. I mean, he was attractive, right? Yeah. You were attracted to him still. Yeah. I mean, he was attractive, right? You were attracted to him still. Yeah.

I mean, it was kind of funny. We met in a community garden, and he was just like, I don't know that he's particularly good at gardening. He was just like digging holes in the dirt, which was kind of funny. Yeah. If Justin were to hear the things that you were saying right now, he'd probably be really happy with your review of him and of your time spent together. Your review. like he's a

restaurant but i like it yeah that's right he is honest yeah sure in fact i don't have to guess if he liked it because i could just ask him since he's on the other line right now listening and wanting to talk to you what um i'm thrilled that you like me oh there's that honky dork dork energy coming through. Why didn't you tell me it was on the phone? Well, we can't all be as honest and transparent as the Justins of the world. Good one, Jeff. But Justin was the one.

That's more credit to him. And it's totally fine. I mean, like, I heard that you have an ex. I mean, I'm totally cool with that. I have like a million exes. A million. Wow. Yeah. Big dater i mean

a couple very strange um a million x's huh no okay it's like literally okay four yeah i don't go on that many dates how am i supposed to have x's i don't i literally have like one ex-girlfriend okay no okay actually you know, I don't have an ex-girlfriend. Wait, what did he just say? Just close the mouth for a second. I think it went to zero. No, it's just kind of a weird thing that you heard me say all that. But I really think that you're just a really sweet, honest person.

Aw. Aw. I love that. sweet, honest person. Oh, I love that. What's wrong? Okay. I, I, the honesty, I am, I'm, I'm mostly honest. What? You keep mentioning, I mean, I, I do not like lying. I mean, I did lie that I had a million girlfriends, ex-girlfriends.

We knew that one. It was a joke. It was a joke. And, you know, I'm just going to say it. Here's the deal. I didn't go to that gardening, community gardening, because I like to garden.

I knew you were going to be there. What? Because, okay, gardening because i like to garden i knew you were going to be there what because okay my parents and your parents are on this dating app where they help their single child get dates uh so is mine oh i don't think she knew your parents love me your parents really love me oh my god they approve of it. I mean, my parents approve. Your parents approve. Like, let's make this work.

I know that this is weird. Oh, no, I just knew it now. Justin, do you have to say everything? I know. One piece of information at a time. Oh, my God. Can we just say real quickly, we really hoped that, Katie, you already knew this. Yeah.

Wait, so you knew this? Well, I mean, yeah. It was her. And she told us not to say anything. I just thought, you know, like, I could see why a dating app like that would work. Katie, just listen for a second. I mean, who knows you better than your mom and dad, right? No, no.

You guys are s***. This is s***. Okay. Oh, my God. That is not parent-approved language, Katie. I'm going to come to your side on that one. It's a little bit unusual. I will concede that. But Justin didn't know that his parents

were setting him up either. Yeah, I actually did know. Okay, well I'm trying to get you out of a hole here. I thought it was actually a great idea i mean it's like i do not meet any women i see them all over the place but i don't meet them i'm on every dating app you could think of nobody swiping okay katie listen listen you definitely have to have a conversation with your parents,

and you can be angry at them, but this isn't Justin's fault. He didn't make your parents do this. Some of this is Justin's fault. Some of it? He didn't say anything. Okay. He shows up in a garden and starts digging holes, waiting for me. But his heart was in a good place

when he did it. Oh my god. Absolutely. He still likes me. No. No. He complimented your radishes. Listen, Katie, you're a great gardener. I can learn from you. You know what? It's at this point, Katie, that I would like to offer to send

you to on another date that we would pay for to any restaurant in the city and far, far away from both of your sets of parents. Just give it one chance. I mean, that would make your parents so happy. Absolutely not. What about this would be enticing to

any normal person? Are you crazy? Okay, well, it's a no right now, but maybe you should take some time to think about it. And if you want, we can organize so that you and Justin and both of your sets of parents can all have dinner together. Big happy family reunion. John and Julie, I think. I mean, it sounds like they're lovely people.

I know they're in for this. Yeah, they made you. Oh, my gosh. I'm in. What do you say? Just give it one more chance. Like, many people have arrangements. Like, it's not like we got married.

We're just going on a date. You started off good and then kept going. It's all right. He's still there. I think he's still there. Katie. We're running out of time here, so we need to get an answer from you. Yes or no on another date?

I'm just absolutely not. Oh. Okay. Dang it. All right. Well, Justin, you're up to a million and one Xs now. Absolutely not. Oh, dang it. All right, well. Justin, you're up to a million and one Xs now. My parents can't even get me a date.

Well, I don't know what I'm going to do. Those words have never been spoken before. If my parents can't get me a date, who can? Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
