You know the rule of threes, right? Three strikes, you're out. Three times a lady. I've heard that. Three celebrity deaths in one week. Almost all good things come in threes. Oh, Jeffrey. Almost. Almost all good things come in threes. Oh, Jeffrey. Almost.

Almost all good things is what I say. Just not the third thing that you listed. And today, we're trying to get a third date for one of our listeners, Hannah, who spells her name with three H's and three N's in it. I think that's Hannah. Hannah, welcome to the show. Hi. Hannah. Three dates, huh? you've already been on two with this person yeah yeah um i don't know if that's against the rules or not but yeah screw the rules we don't care about rules on this show we made up

the rules so yeah yeah that sounds cool tell us about the guy that you went out with. What's his name? His name is Dennis. And we met on a dating app. Okay. And I'm at a stage in my life where I'm just trying to date a lot of people and just see what I like and what I don't like. So you're not really looking for like a relationship? You're just looking to figure out? Yeah.

I mean, I just got out of a long-term relationship. And I just want to kind of see what else is out there but like this guy he's the first guy out of a few people i've dated that like i've actually wanted to go out with for a third time i heard her use few people in air quotes yeah i think it's been more than that but that's fine there's no judgment dozen few hundred yeah whatever it is you know like i just he's the first person i'm interested in. Why? There's something special about Dennis. Well, yeah, I just thought he was fun. He was funny. Like, the first date, it was just at a bar.

It was, like, a normal meetup. And I had just come from a work event, and I'd already been drinking, so I just ordered coffee because I didn't want to get messy. Oh. Yeah, that's good. Smart. You're aware of that. It's good to get drunk at work, too. We like that.

Yeah. Okay. And what about date number two? work, too. We like that. Okay. And what about date number two? Well, like, on the second date, we, like, we went out for ramen, and, like, the idea was, okay, if things go well, maybe we'll go back to his place. Oh. Was that discussed before Robin? Sort of.

It was like, maybe we could watch a movie. You know, like, he... Okay. Yeah. And we went... We did go to his place, and we ended up watching a movie. I don't know if you guys know the movie The Rescue. Sounds sad.

Keep going. Yeah, it does sound sad. It was the kids and they were trapped in caves in Thailand. Oh, my God. Yeah. Sad. That was heartbreaking. Do you remember that when it was all over the news?

I remember. I don't watch the news. You don't watch the news. I can tell. I mean, it was like a weird second date movie. It was a weird. Yeah, I bet that put you in a weird mood. I mean, it's a real story, too. So when

do you make out during this movie? What's the good scene? Yeah, exactly, you don't. Oh, no. They don't have food or drinkable water? I think we found the spot for the romance. So you're saying there was no make-out session session is what i'm hearing

exactly well i mean you did kiss at the end before i left sorry i missed that you said there was a kid you kissed at the end or there's a kiss at the end of the movie oh sorry the boys all get saved and kiss each other i don't know i haven't seen it so you and dennis shared a kiss at the end yes okay good Okay. Good. Was it sweet? I mean, how'd it feel? I thought it was nice. Again, we were in a weird place because of this movie. It's not what you want to hear

after you had a kiss. We were in a weird place. I mean, I get it. I went to the movies once. Do you remember that Jennifer Aniston movie called The Breakup with Vince Vaughn?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's supposed to be a comedy, right? It totally ended like a four-date string I had with this guy. Oh, no. Yeah, it was like all about the breakup, right? It totally ended like a four-date string I had with this guy. Yeah, it was like... Oh, the movie killed the romance?

Yeah, because it was all about the breakup, and then you're watching, and you're like, we don't really... The movie's called The Breakup. I know, but we don't really fit either. Watching the movie, I was like, this makes sense. So a movie choice is very important. Okay.

Okay, I'm only watching movies where people hook up then. Yes, that is actually not a bad idea. Like Friends with Benefits. Yay! The good news is Hannah ended that date with a kiss at least. What's happened since then?

Well, I don't know because he seemed interested. No, he had like two good dates, I thought, and it ended okay, but like I haven't heard from him. At all? No, not really.

Like he's been really unresponsive and I waited a bit and then I messaged him and I just haven't heard back anything and it just feels so weird because I thought we had a good time. Nobody asked the most important question in this whole room. How was the ramen? Was the ramen good?

Because the ramen could have ruined the day. I know you're a noodle lover. That's an important question to Jose. He just needs a new recommendation. Is the pork chashu? Is it tender? I thought you were going to ask if she was an ugly crier during the movie. Oh, that's actually a good question. Are you an ugly crier?

I can keep it under control if I have to, but I can be an ugly crier. Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, at least it didn't happen in the bedroom with all the tears. So that's the good thing. I'm thankful. I mean, that's more of a look into my love life.

Got it. Got it. We're focused on you, Hannah. We're going to try and do the rescue on your dating life right now. Hopefully no more tears when we come back, call Dennis, and try and get your second date update right after this. Okay? Don't cry.

I'm sorry. I'm holding on to it. You stay strong, okay, Hannah? Okay. Okay, we'll be back right after this. Hold on. Second date update. Real quick, top five sexiest documentaries about

human tragedies to set the mood on a first date. Here's one. You going with The Eruption of Pompeii? Ooh, that's pretty hot. Hot Like Magma? Or The Great Ohio River Flood of 1937? Oh, wow.

They made a whole documentary about that one, huh? Steamy. Or there's always my fave, The Goonies. That's not a documentary. Is it a tragedy they never made a sequel? Yes, it is. It is a great movie. I don't know if it's a doc, but yeah. I only bring it up because one of our listeners, Hannah, watched The Rescue, which is a documentary

about the dramatic 2018 rescue of 12 kids in Thailand who got trapped in an underwater cave. Yes. Crazy. That was their date night movie. I mean, yes. And somehow she was able to finish off the evening with a kiss. Yes. Which was positive until he didn't call her back ever.

Yeah. So that's why we're going to help her out today and do our own rescue of her love life. You ready to do this, Hannah? Yes, I am ready. You know, I forgot to ask, who made the choice to watch that documentary? I mean, I think it came up over dinner. And I was like, no, I haven't seen it. And he was like, oh, I've been meaning to watch it.

And we just kind of fell into it. He just added it to his list, you know? It was like top of the screen. And it's like, let's just start. He needs a lesson in what he should pick for dates. Yeah. The movie choice is a little bit of a question mark. Is there anything else in your mind, Hannah, that could be a theory for why he's not calling you back?

The only other thing I can think of is the ramen didn't sit right with me and nothing weird happened except my stomach kept making, like, really weird noises. See, this is why I asked about the ramen. Sometimes the broth can be, like, if it's, like, a pork and chicken broth, it's very rich. Jose's going to Google the restaurant and the menu to check the ingredients for that ramen. We're going on Yelp. But while that's happening, let's call up Dennis here and see what he has to say, okay? Okay. Dial his number right now.

Let's do it. Hello? Hey, is this Dennis? Yes, this is Dennis. What's up, Dennis? How you doing? You're on Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning right now. Sorry, I'm on what?

Typical response for us there. We're on a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I'm Jeffrey. Yep, we're all here. That's Brooke. Hi, Dennis. No, Alexis, that was me. Oh, we have cues. The girls get confused about people sometimes.

We're very low on cue show if you couldn't tell, Dennis, so welcome. Hi, thank you. Welcome to our show. Have you ever listened before, Dennis? No, I don't think so. All right. Well, add it on. This is your lucky day because you're on a segment we call Second Date Update.

And we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you went out with recently actually twice oh apparently had a really good time with her there was some movie watching some kissing but now there hasn't been a date number three do you know what i'm talking about hannah yeah no um well it's a big breath i know it's a big sign what's going on wait does hannah know that you're calling me? That would be really awkward if she didn't. She's like, no matter what you do, don't tell him what I'm saying. We just pry into other people's dating lives on our own accord. No, Hannah's asked us to reach out to you because she's hoping to get some answers for why there hasn't been another meetup between you two.

You know, I don't know. I just feel like something is up with Hannah. I just, I'm just trying to listen to my instincts, and something tells me I don't trust her, something weird. Like a Spidey sense thing with Hannah? Sure. Is it because she went in for the kiss at the end of a documentary about a human tragedy?

No. I mean, that would be kind of a red flag, but. Yeah, no, no, it wasn't that. I mean, both the dates have been good, and we've texted a lot after. And when we text, her messages go green bubble. Ew, dumper. From an Android or whatever. Yeah.

I mean, It is annoying. iPhone people care. They're so cutie and stuck up. That's not why not to... It's not that. Oh, okay. So in person, she puts her phone down,

I see it, and it's an iPhone. Yeah. So I'm like, what? No, that's not what an iPhone does. Wait, hold on. Yeah. Do you have bad service though? Yeah, I have a friend right now who I know has an iPhone does. Wait, hold on. Yeah. Do you have bad service, though?

Yeah, I have a friend right now who I know has an iPhone. She's one of my best friends. And her text bubbles keep showing up green, too. But she does have an iPhone. I know she has an iPhone. I don't think she's using a burner. Maybe. I mean, what do you think, Dennis?

Like, you don't trust her because of that? I want to try to make this segment more boring. Let's break down text messaging and how technology works. I was just going to get Apple Tech online. Maybe I could just read their messages. Yeah, let's call it help support. What's the problem? Well, there's just a red flag going up

for me. Either she's, sorry for this word, she's cheating. I know we've been on two dates, but you know, she's cheating. She has a secret phone, something. I don't know what it is. It's just something just doesn't trust me about that, about this whole thing. So you think she has a secret phone and that she – but why wouldn't she bring the secret phone with her on the date instead of the real iPhone that's connected to her significant other on a date?

I don't know. I don't know. I don't have a secret phone, so I don't know what the secret phone rules are. You think she's acting a little bit shady with this phone business, and I don't know what is shady about her other than the fact that she's been listening quietly on the other line. But she does want to talk to you. Hannah, are you there? Hi, yes.

Hi. Hi, Dennis. Hi. Hi, Hannah. I'm sorry. I just have to say I wish you would ask me about it or just said something sooner because i guess maybe it's a little sneaky but it's i'm not cheating well okay so it's something a lot of girls do so if you're on dating apps but you don't want

like a weirdo or to have your actual phone number you can create a google phone number just for your dating life like on the app oh my gosh my cousin used to have a actual phone number, you can create a Google phone number just for your dating life. Oh my gosh, my cousin used to have a Google phone number. You have a separate number for just early on in dating that you give to guys before you become official with them? Yeah, just

so crazy people don't have my number, if it goes badly. That's smart, actually. Does this mean one of my best friends? Because she doesn't trust me? Oh, okay. Who's getting ghosted by her friend? There you go, Dennis.

She just thought you might be crazy early on. Yeah. So she gave you a different number. I mean, that was not where I was expecting that to go. Do you believe her? But in a good way. Do you believe her? But in a good way. Do you believe her? I mean, sure.

I guess that makes sense. I mean, would you, I mean, I don't know. I could text you my actual number. Oh. Are we ready for that in the relationship? You thought I was a weirdo when we first met and you didn't trust me? Like, what is that? You're a random guy online.

What do you mean? Every guy in a dating app is a weirdo and you didn't trust me? You're a random guy online. What do you mean? Every guy in a dating app is a weirdo and you shouldn't trust them. One time I went out with a guy. He showed up for a first date with a knife on his belt. You don't know who you're going to meet. That guy was from my hometown. He probably just wanted to make sure that he protected you.

He was probably hunting earlier in the morning. He had a skin of coon. I just kind of wonder what other secrets are you hiding? What else is going on? Are you older than what you said on the app? That's not an honest thing. I don't know. No, no, no, no.

Okay, so I've been honest about everything except one other thing. Oh, there is a secret that you're hiding. That's okay. It's not really a secret. It's just, so I, my family is not really from Wisconsin, and I know that I told you that. They're from Detroit.

Detroit? Oh, hang up on her. No, come on. Dude, Detroit's awesome. Why would I care about that? Why would you lie about that? Why does it have people be weird when I say that's where I'm from? What's weird about that? Why do people think that's weird? That's probably why that one guy brought a knife on the date.

It makes sense now. He's from Detroit. Yeah. I mean, I get it. Like, you got to protect yourself out there, especially as a woman on a dating app, Dennis. Like, she's not doing anything that is harmful to you. Like, you can't take that stuff personally. She's just looking out for her best interest.

And that's herself. At this point, like, she is coming clean. She's being honest with you, divulging her secrets and her family history. She can't help she's from Detroit. With that being said, would you like to take an enormous risk and go out with Miss Detroit

and we'll pay for it? Enormous risk? We're not putting them in the caves, Jeff. We'll even throw in a weird documentary with tons of human casualties in it. Just to help really bring the romance. This one they don't get saved. We will pay for it though, Dennis. What do you think?

I mean, I guess you could say that I am guilty sometimes of just being in my man world and I perhaps don't always think about the female perspective of things and how that works and god it's so depressing that that has to be a thing that you have to do that

you love depressing stuff look at the movie you chose I know I mean in that case you know wow that's smart that's super smart and I appreciate that and I'm glad I'm not a, she doesn't think I'm a weirdo and all that. That's a lot of words. Is it a yes

or a no? Yes, yes, yes. Yay! Congratulations, Hannah, you got yourself a third date now. Yay! Now throw that burner phone away and get a third one. 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. Jon Stewart is back in the host chair at The Daily Show, which means he's also back in our ears on The Daily Show Ears Edition podcast. Join late night legend Jon Stewart and the best news team for today's biggest headlines, exclusive extended interviews, and more.
