I saw something on Instagram recently that basically sums up what I think a lot of our listeners are feeling with the online dating apps.

It was a guy who says, I think my favorite part of online dating is when you match with someone and you're talking and it's going great and Three weeks later someone somewhere loses interest and you just never talk to them again And you just keep doing that over and over and over until you're 90 and you're single and you die alone What a romantic look Brooke aren't you upset that you got married and missed the peak era of dating apps Why did I do that? Well, we have a guy on the phone who says he also has become pretty frustrated with the online dating experience And his name is Steven. So Steven welcome to the show, man. How you doing?

You sound down I am pretty down. Yeah Probably just closed his tinder app right now before it got on so it's not going so well for you, huh? No, I mean, I just can't beat anybody Honestly, I was so tired. I did something pretty desperate recently. That's kind of why I call We like desperate Boy, I saw an ad online that said soul mate psychic. Oh That's a good catchy phrase. Okay, what does that mean?

It's a for $50 the person was able to draw your soul mate for you Draw? Like a sketch of them? That's actually great. Yes, and you can see like when you see them in real life Then you know why do I feel like they stalk your social media and then draw your ex But you're right Jose if you see them out in the world you could just hold up this photo and be like Don't bring a photo around with you. Oh, no in your head. Okay, wait wait wait You all believe that someone can do this well if it's a psychic yeah Yeah

Okay, I'm gonna go with sure brook already doesn't believe in your soulmate before she even knows anything about Well, we don't even know what the story is so you actually signed up and did this I did this 20 minutes later I get this sketch email to me. Oh, it's just even over It was a phone conversation oh Okay, and then she draws right what kind of questions did she ask you? Online no no it was a phone conversation Okay What kind of questions did she ask you well she's asking me my interest she's asking me You know, but she's not asking for a physical description of your perfect woman. She's trying to get to know you So what did you think of the picture?

That she's very pretty. That's good. Shocking. She didn't draw an ugly person. That is so weird. Well, that's very lucky for him. I'm sure she draws a lot of ugly people for other people. But what did you do with the photo?

I put it up in the refrigerator. Oh. OK. OK. I don't know what to do with it. Yeah. I guess you're right. What are you going to throw away? Well, you can put it up the refrigerator. Oh, okay. Okay. I don't know what to do with it. Yeah I mean you could put it on your dating app and say this is what I'm looking for Okay So like a month later I'm at this wedding and I see a woman there that's like she looks exactly like the picture.

No way! Really? Yeah. Yeah. What'd you do? Well first I tried to freak out. I'm like oh my god. Yeah. Well now you must feel the pressure on you so what do you do? So I build up enough confidence and I go over there and I ask her to dance. Oh. Brooke, why aren't you awing yet? Yeah, bro. This is happening. Yes. Yes, I am excited for you. And what did she say when you asked her to dance?

She said yes, that we're dancing. Oh my god. Wow. It's happening. So now you've opened the door for true love to step through. But the big question is, did you tell her about the soulmate photo that was sent to you? Well, I told her photo that was sent to you well I told her I have a surprise for you what do you mean you told her that I

just couldn't hold it it's too weird it's too coincidental wait so that night we're still at the wedding reception and you're gonna pull out the picture on your phone no I know I didn't even have a copy of it, honestly. Oh, good. I was like, well, I'll text it to you. I told her I'll text it to you. What was her reaction though? Did she laugh? I wanna know what the caption was

when you texted the photo. No, no, no, no, no. The caption was, isn't this crazy? This looks just like you. Okay. Oh my God. How long did it take her to respond to your text?

Yeah, because it's about, my first reaction is I have a stalker. Yeah. Or are you still waiting for a reply? Oh, yeah. She responded. She's like, wow, that's crazy. Hey. But then it was kind of a different vibe from then on.

She's like, I could tell something changed now and she wasn't as into me. Oh, no. Maybe you have Android because that happens and you sent in and got blurry. Oh, gosh. I do that too. Brooke, I said you put your...

Green bubble? She knows. Who knows? I don't think that was it. Yeah. Okay. So looking back on the events that unfolded, do you feel like maybe you shouldn't have sent her the picture? Maybe. Yeah. He should have just brought her back to his apartment so she could have seen it on the fridge himself. So at this point, where are you at now? I mean, what are you going to do? She won't get back to me really I had to move on from there. Yeah So did you call the psychic lady again and get have a new picture drawn up or

I'm kind of just back on the app. So Mike, you know, I'm thinking maybe I need to find out It's an older but you found her. So wait, wait, wait. Are we gonna call this girl for you? I mean, yeah. Now, it's been a couple months. I need answers here. Yeah, I mean, you need closure, man. I know, anyone would. I need closure.

Absolutely. Closure from what? He met his soulmate, Brooke, and she's ghosting him. They dance for three songs. Okay. The best three songs of his life. I feel like we're trying to force something here, but I'll be on board

Did we ever get the girl's name by the way her name is Zoe okay Well, we're gonna come back and call your soulmate Zoe and try and get you your second date update right after this second date update You believe in love at first sight? Yes Jeff. What about... I haven't seen her yet. Okay, so yes from Jose and from the girls. What about love at first sketch? No. Because months ago, one of our listeners, Steven, paid a professional psychic to draw him a photo of his future soulmate before he's ever met her He hung it up on his fridge and wouldn't you know just a short while later He ends up meeting a woman who looks just like that photo He was at a wedding her name was Zoe and they danced and got to know each other

Everything was on the up and up until he got home and texted her the soulmate sketch picture Yeah, she really cooled mate sketch picture. Yeah. She really cooled off after that. Yeah. It got me thinking though, like how could we help him when we get her on the phone and maybe we could say that he drew the picture after he met you. Just from memory, he's a really good artist. Oh.

That it's not like a soul mate thing. I think he just apologizes and says, I didn't mean to hurt. Yeah, that's your answer to everything photo has to be flattering it works I mean you can't lie like how long is he gonna keep up that he's a good artist it just came to a moment of inspiration that's the point but I'm not an artist it was the heavens that just guided my hand exactly fine go with it sadly, Stephen is back on the dating apps now looking for older women and long distance stuff, whatever he can get because he's so dejected. Let's not say that. But we won't bring that up. I'm just saying his mind is still wondering though. What about my soulmate Zoe? Isn't that right, Stephen? It's true. You've never forgotten about her

Why didn't forget it wasn't that long ago? Yeah, but still a couple months. She could be in a relationship already Well, I'm glad that we're going in with the positive Nobody in this room is gonna believe in love except for me and Jose Let's call Zoe and see what she has to say. The weight of love on your shoulders must be hard. It is. It's difficult. Here we go.

Hello. Two rings she answered. I knew it. Zoe, thank you for answering the phone right now. This is Zoe, right? Hello Two rings she answered I knew it Thank you for answering the phone right now, this is Zoe right Yes, okay That was luck on that one, but as oh you're on the radio right now with a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning How you doing um I mean I I'm okay. Confused.

Yeah, why am I being called right now? Well, some might say it's fate that brought us to you today, but others would just say it's one of our listeners named Steven who asked us to call you. No, no thank you. Wait, wait, wait, do you remember Steven? No, I'm not, no. Wow, guys, that picture really worked I guess. No, wait hold on do you remember Steven? No, I'm not no Wow guys that picture really worked. Okay. Yeah Well, so Zoe we're doing a segment here called a second date update

Where we're trying to help Steven get in touch with you again because it's been a while since you've chatted since the wedding Yeah, no,. There's a reason why we haven't chatted. Okay. Okay. Do you wanna tell us? I mean, it seems like it's very clear why you're not calling him. I mean, maybe to you it's clear, to him it's not. We don't know what you're thinking.

I don't think it's clear to him that I'm not really up for him wanting to date my mom. So. What? What? Wait, what? That came out of nowhere did he hit on your mom at the wedding reception or something? no

as far as I know he hasn't met my mom but I don't know if he told you guys wait what? this is a lot, what we know is that you guys met at a wedding you guys danced and had a good time after the wedding he texted you a photo that looked a lot like you and then and we

Thought that was the reason yeah That it freaked you out. Well, I mean that was creepy anyway, but So where did your mom come into play here? Yeah, that's weird Yeah, so at the wedding he said he was surprised that I was single because he thought I was pretty whatever and He said he was surprised that I was single because he thought I was pretty, whatever. Yeah, and I was like, oh yeah, it's crazy. Even my mom's dating, she's on the app, whatever. I just laughed about it. And he texted me that photo, whatever.

But after that, my mom matched with him on one of the apps. Oh my God. What? Really? Wait, your mom tells you matches. Oh Yeah, I mean my mom and I are fairly close and she showed me who she matched with Are you thinking that he went in like matched with her on purpose? I don't know that it matters probably It's just the fact that it happened

Okay, well we don't know everything about how stuff happened the way that it happened. The only person who has the answers to that would be Steven. Yeah, he may not even know. Yeah, I don't know. Because he didn't mention anything like this when we talked to him, but he is on the other line right now waiting to speak with you, Zoe. What? Why? What? That's how the segment works.

Steven, are you there? This is awkward. Sorry Yeah, you know that you had matched with her mom Yeah, I told you guys I was like back on the apps and working for maybe someone older Say you went with one generation up also, why is your mom got that young of a dating pool? You should check her. She believes in herself. It's inspirational. You can even launch out for the competition now. Let mom live.

OK, so you two need to talk about this clearly. Dude, what is actually wrong with you? You're going to call the station, and you're going to tell them, like, you're trying to figure out what's wrong. But clearly what's wrong is you're trying to get with my mother after trying to get with me. We didn't know.

You weren't responding to me. You were being kind of cold. I didn't know what to do. Yeah, for good reason. The first straw was you sending me that creepy picture anyway, so obviously I was going to be standoffish. And then my mom showed me her dating app with you on it. Wait, have you been talking to her mother?

We exchanged the messages. Oh. OK. Oh, wow. Is a date going to happen between you and Zoe's mom? Is that on the books? Well, I didn't want to ruin things with Zoe and I. Oh, well, he's prioritizing you, Zoe.

Isn't that nice? Did you send the mom the same picture you sent Zoe? I'm not going to make that mistake again. No way Okay, Stephen I even showed her the picture that you sent her to me and she still isn't you so you guys can just Yeah, yeah you go enjoy yourself. Oh, guys, we did it. We found the soul mate. It's the mom. Oh my god.

Brooke, why aren't you cheering with me? This is so weird. Yeah. So you're saying you ship the relationship with your mom and Steven. I mean, I don't know what else I can do. I can't just tell my mom who she can and can't date. So like, how am I supposed to?

Talk to her about that So at this point yeah a double date or I Don't know I mean I'm gonna default to the love expert on the show Alexis Should do in this situation Perfect great I mean Well she probably should because soon Steven could be your stepdad Would normally offer to send Steven out with Zoe, but I guess Stephen will offer to send you out with Zoe's mom Insulting I am sorry Zoe why is that insulting? That'd be great

Zoe's already turned him down. He's a free agent. He can date whoever he wants Yeah, no forget all you guys, but I'm sorry this can't get any worse Actually, I'm actually worried that it can yeah Because you never know yeah In the morning Wow who knew 50 bucks on a soulmate psychic picture could work not once but Talk about value getting your money's worth. I did not even think about that. It's actually 25 bucks per person You could call it a family deal even If you think about it Zoe was just the breadcrumb that led Stephen to his eventual destiny

Psychic picks big families so that this can happen Love still prevails. The psychic picks big families so that this can happen. She's asking how many siblings you have? 10? Perfect. I mean, what if, I know we're all skeptical, but what if they really are meant to be? Would that second date update update be the most anticipated one we ever did on this show? They'll turn this into a movie. We will be a part of Hollywood someday. Have you guys not been following the Miley Cyrus family drama right now?

No, oh my god her mom tish got married to a guy that her younger sister was dating the whole thing is a hot mess Those two aren't talking it doesn't end well.
