everyone who popped over to our YouTube page this week, at Rick and Jeffrey and commented,
watched, liked the first ever video version.
Of a second date update.
We're rolling them out slowly because it is a pretty big lift for us.
We have a small staff.
But we're going to have another video, maybe awkward Tuesday next week.
It's either going to be awkward Tuesday or another second date.
I'm not sure which.
So stick around for that.
And right now we're going to go to your comments that are currently happening.
Yeah.
Hendrik Botha said, I love the new live updates.
I enjoy you guys a lot.
I'm a South African working in the U.S.
as a farm worker.
All I do when I'm driving around at a tractor is listen to you guys.
15 hours of Brooke and Jeffrey.
Wow.
That is a lot of us.
Yeah.
So I guess sit back and enjoy that tractor ride.
Yeah.
And here's a classic second date for you.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Second date update.
This is a show first for us.
And I don't know if it's a good thing.
Uh-oh.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
We like not good things.
So tell us, Jeff.
Well, just a couple months ago, we did an update update with a guy named Daniel.
who told us that he was still together with the girl from his original second date call,
even though he did catch her making out with another woman at a bar.
Oh, yeah, I do.
Remember, she claimed it wasn't cheating because it's a girl on a girl thing.
He wasn't so sure, but they decided to stick it out.
Well, that didn't last very long.
Okay.
Because now he's back out on the open market needing our help once again.
Let me guess.
She's in a relationship with a woman that she made out with.
Who knows?
But Daniel, I am so sorry to welcome you back to the show.
I was hoping we would never hear from you again, honestly.
Yeah, it's a dubious honor, guys.
What happened with the last woman that you were with?
So, good news, bad news.
Good news, she's not with the girls she made out with.
Okay.
Bad news is I saw her at a bar making out with two other guys.
Oh.
She's like serious.
It's not cheating when there's two of them.
Yeah.
That's just fun.
You can't fall in love with both.
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
She kisses a lot.
That was finally the straw that broke it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If it wasn't, that would say more about me.
So, yeah.
No, it's not how I roll, but we're still friends.
She's very cool.
She's very fun.
Well, clearly.
Yeah.
It's even wrong to shame.
Doesn't know how to respond.
I mean, impressive that you can still be friends with her.
Good for you.
That's an immature thing to do.
And sounds like you've moved on to somebody else.
Who's the new person?
I have.
So this new person I met in kind of a strange way.
I was getting off a plane at the airport and I pulled up Uber and I wasn't really looking at what I was doing.
And instead of ordering a regular Uber, I ordered an Uber pool.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
I've done that by accident.
Sometimes it suggests the cheapest thing to you.
Oh, I would have canceled that like immediately.
Yeah, that one's usually good.
Jeff is like, oh, my God.
Conversations with another person, I don't know.
Yes, pay the $50.
I'll walk home instead.
Oh, my God.
What are the chances you get a hot girl in your Uber pool?
Was she hot?
Well, she was because I was going to cancel it.
But then it said Harper is on the way.
And, you know, there's a tiny little bubble.
But I was like, well, let's roll the dice on life and see what happens.
It was great.
She was nice.
It wasn't too awkward at the beginning.
Did she accidentally also do the Uber pool and was confused when you got in?
Yeah.
No, she meant to do it.
So, you know, frugality, I respect it.
Anywhere else outside of the airport, you're not getting a good looking person sharing that car with you.
You really got lucky.
Yeah.
Yeah, airports are long drives.
They're okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, I mean, I gave you guys to connect and get to know each other then, right?
Yeah, and actually, like, the second she got in the car, I was like, I know you from somewhere.
What?
And she kind of laughed.
I was like, no, no, no, I didn't request this Uber knowing I would see you.
But I also couldn't figure out where I knew her from.
Did she recognize you?
No, she definitely does not know me.
Let's wait.
Was that a line or did you really think you recognized her?
No, I really did.
And I kept saying, this isn't a pickup.
But I feel like I know you from somewhere.
And I kept lifting off the places.
where I thought I could know her, you know.
Okay, hold on.
This is important.
Where did you say you may have known her?
Because I'm hoping you were like, oh, it's fashion magazine or like something complimentary, right?
I can't just be like a grocery store.
Oh, no, you should compliment her.
Be like, oh, I've seen you on a billboard, right?
Not like for a mile.
I'm pretty sure you work at the Dollar Tree.
Yeah, that doesn't work for a lot.
I just listed off a couple of parties that I had been at.
Like, maybe she was a friend of a friend.
I threw out a couple of names.
Did you happen to make out with a girl at a bar one time while I was?
Oh my God.
That would be, I didn't even think about that, Jeffrey.
I was the way that your girlfriend made out with.
Was it?
I would definitely remember that girl, but no.
Now I know what you look familiar.
How did you know her?
I never figured it out.
And I was going deep.
I was going like maybe it was summer camp, like when I was a kid, nothing.
Oh, my God.
Did you spend 25 minutes listing off places?
Not 25, but yeah, sure 20.
Oh, my.
Did you actually go out with her on a real date?
Or was the Uber ride the entire experience?
No, so I used to think, I wound up finding a lot about her just because she would tell me what she actually did when I would ask, you know, guess a wrong one.
And then when they were about to drop me off, I was like, I've got to figure this out.
Is there like a bar we can go to?
And she said, yeah, there's actually a bar around the corner.
Wait, she agreed to me.
She asked her out.
She wasn't tired of that.
I know, I'm with you, Alexis.
I would have been exhausted from all the clustering.
We were actually, like, laughing about it.
And it was really fun.
It was really, like, really casual.
I wonder if she knew,
because you feel like it'd be fun if you know the answer
and the other person doesn't.
That's the way I'd put up with it.
Or maybe she, like, didn't want to admit that she knew from somewhere.
And maybe that's why she's not calling you back after all of this.
Yeah, but they went to a bar together, right?
Yeah, we did, and we had a great time, and this is the question.
I don't understand why she hasn't responded to the text.
I sent. Like, I get it. It's a weird
meeting, but it was also
Kiznit. Like, I turned the
encounter into a date. Yeah, totally.
It's amazing. And was like, oh, you're my
ex-husband. And then remember, oh, yeah,
I didn't work out before. And he doesn't recall that. And he doesn't
remember. Or maybe it was the 200 follow-up
text about it here, was it there?
Was it this? Was it that? Maybe it's, I'm your future
husband. That sounds like a Dr. Seuss book.
But we're going to find out, because we're
going to call Harper for you here in just a minute.
We'll try and figure out where you know
her from if that's true and get you a second date update right after this.
Thank you.
All right.
Hold on, man.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Second date update.
Today's second date update is sponsored by Uber Pool.
Yay.
Want to ride with a hot stranger?
You got a one in 10,000 chance that'll actually happen.
But just make sure you're near an airport and then roll the dice with Uber Pool.
Yeah.
And I bring that up because that's exactly.
what happened with our listener Daniel recently,
who's actually been on with us before for a second date.
He's back again, and this time he met a very pretty girl named Harper
because they had a ride share together back from the airport.
The majority of their conversation was dominated by,
hey, don't I know you from somewhere?
Oh, my God.
And then guessing how many places he could put her.
For about 20 straight minutes that happened.
But he said they were having fun with it and she was laughing.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to go to drinks with him at the bar, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And ask more questions about where.
So she knew what she was signing up for.
So there was hope, but now there's nothing.
And that's why we're stepping into hell.
Brooke, what do you think?
I don't know.
Did you guys ever even get to the point of is she single?
That's a good question.
Did you ask that?
Oh, my gosh.
Okay.
So she's married and now we get it.
Okay, guys, no need to call.
These are important questions that we need to ask.
But nobody asked, not even him.
They were more important questions.
Yeah.
You're just trying to find out how you know.
And honestly, she probably never would have gone out with you to the bar if she was with somebody else.
That wouldn't be a good look for her.
Unless he's friends with her husband.
That's how they know.
You're my husband's boss.
I have to do that.
Okay.
Well, now we have some guesses.
Let's get some definitive answers when we call her right now.
You ready to do this, Daniel?
Yeah.
And, you know, I'd never really thought of that.
So that could be the truth.
Anything's possible at this point.
That is true.
Anything is possible with Uber Pool.
Again, we're actually not getting paid for this.
Get your discount code with somebody else's name.
Uber pool.
If it were not advertised, do they not advertise regular?
No, no.
Just the pool part.
No, no, anyway.
We got to call Harper here.
Here we go.
Hi, we're looking for Harper.
This is she.
Hey, Harper.
This is your lucky day because you're talking to Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning right now.
Hey, Harper.
Hey.
Hi.
I feel like I know you, Harper.
Don't start that.
We're a radio show.
Sounds familiar, right, Brooke?
We're on in the mornings.
We're called Brooke and Jeffrey, and we're doing something called a second date update.
We're trying to hook you back up with one of our listeners that you met recently named Daniel.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, Daniel.
This Daniel that you met riding home in an Uber pool together.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Were you shocked when?
attractive guy got in the car?
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, I guess, yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Whatever you say.
I don't know.
It's always the question, what are you doing in an river pool, right?
Who are you going to get stuck with?
But yeah.
No, I'm sorry to, like, bombard you with all these questions.
But what we're trying to do is, like, help Daniel figure out if you guys had a connection
because he felt like there was something going on between you two in the Uber ride and at the bar that night.
Did you feel that at all?
Um, yeah, yeah, I did.
I don't believe her.
I know it may have been hard to get that because he was asking you a lot of questions about if he knew you from somewhere before.
Yeah.
And I really genuinely didn't know you what he was talking about.
Like we were, I mean, ran through like the full list of all of the potential.
So you didn't know him?
I did know him and I didn't realize it until I got home.
What?
Oh.
Like unpacking and then it hit me.
You figured it out.
You figured it out.
We've been dying to know because he said he spent like 20 minutes just questioning you over and over again.
And I don't think he ever figured it out.
Clearly he wasn't even asking for any questions.
It clicked for you?
You didn't tell him?
No, I didn't because it was back in college, so it's been a while.
Oh, that's interesting.
No wonder he had a hard time.
Yeah.
He was a student.
I was a TA.
A TA.
That's not a big deal
Like TAs are like grad students
I want to hear what happened
Okay sorry
Like it's not what you think
It's not like we hooked up or anything
Like I
I caught him cheating on a test
Oh
And I brought it to the professor
And got him like
Failed out of the class
And
Oh my God
Oh no
So you're not calling him back
Because you're still upset about him cheating
Yeah
No I just
Like I just
feel so awkward.
You ended his college career.
No, that's just one class.
You're not kicked out of college for that.
No, but he did get suspended.
Like, that's a big deal.
You snitch.
But what do you feel bad?
My thought here is, if you remembered him after all this,
why wouldn't you at least call him back or text him back to tell him that?
I don't know.
I just don't want to, like, deal.
Like, oh, my God, that's so uncomfortable.
Yeah, it's awkward.
Like, hey, remember that horrible thing that happened to you?
Like, I was in charge of that.
I initiated it.
Well, he initiated it.
Let's remember.
He's the one that cheated.
He is cheating.
That's true.
Just to be clear, the reason is not because he's a cheater.
It's because you feel uncomfortable revealing that you were the one that caught him.
I mean, I didn't even think about him being a cheater.
I just figured it was awkward.
But yeah, you're right.
Maybe he's that type of person.
I don't know.
Well, no, I'm not trying to plant that.
I'm just, I'm sorry.
I was trying to get clarification.
Just tell her.
Yeah.
We need to just tell you that Daniel is not a cheater.
and he's actually on the other line listening right now.
He's sneaky, though.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
Thank you guys for planning that in her mind, first of all.
No, that was my bad.
Daniel, I was trying to get clarification.
So now he knows he heard it all.
Oh.
Funny, right, Daniel?
Oh, God.
Okay.
Well, hi.
Hi.
Sorry.
Yeah.
You know, it's not every day you get to meet your own stool pigeon.
That's a big deal for me.
It's like an insult, but I don't know what that means.
A stool pigeon is like a turn that they used to use in the mob when someone would snitch on somebody, like a rat.
Okay.
I guess you have to be a criminal.
You have to have a criminal mind to understand what it is.
Now you're evading taxes or what are you doing now?
We're straying away.
Let's get off the crime talk and back on to the relationship that you guys were starting to form.
Yeah, I'm embarrassed for sure.
Oh, okay.
I'll let you know that they let me retake the course and I took like a no pass, which I guess is less bad than a fail.
Okay.
Yeah, okay.
N.P. saves everything.
Yeah.
You're kind of putting all of that on her, though.
Were you cheating on that test or not?
Yeah, I was definitely cheating on that test.
So she shouldn't feel bad is what you're trying to say.
Yeah, it's a bad to say.
Like, in a way you saved me, I never cheated on a test ever again.
Hey.
She's been improving you as a man for a long time.
Yeah.
How does that make you feel, Harper?
This is so awkward.
I don't know.
I'm glad that you learned your lesson.
I don't know.
So that's interesting, though.
But he's not upset or mad or anything.
He's also embarrassed by it, Harper.
You guys are experiencing the same thing right now.
I guess.
I feel so weird.
I'm sorry.
This is not weird.
Well, let's take all this awkwardness.
ball it up and move it to the side.
We have all the awkwardness out of the way.
Now let's just...
Is that how it works?
Yeah.
Pure chemistry.
Just snap the fingers, boom, awkward gone.
Okay.
Smooth sailing from here on out.
So Daniel, go ahead, start again.
Where do I know you from?
That is not the question we want to leave.
Oh, you're going to meet here for a party.
No, it was a joke.
Don't answer.
I remember you.
You gnarled on me in home.
No, Daniel.
You say you're the hot T.A.
I'm not glad I thought.
Yeah, you're that snitch I hate.
This is why I didn't text you back.
This is better than the text back.
It's actually pretty cute.
And we could keep this good energy rolling into a second date of like a real meetup where you guys can create all new memories for yourself.
We would pay for that date.
College cafeteria date.
But it's up to you, Harper.
You get to say yes or no to this.
I mean, if you like the guy to go to a bar enough after he peppered you with questions for 20 minutes, you have to give him another chance.
Or she just really needed a free drink.
and with like airplane hair.
You're right.
You're right.
That's true.
What do you think, Harper?
I mean, Daniel, if you're, I don't know who was like moving past it or whatever.
I did have fun with you.
Like, you're cute.
You're funny.
Yeah.
I, I am well beyond it.
That was not the peak of the bottom of my life.
So I would love to go on another day.
His life got worse later.
His last girlfriend made out with many,
people.
Oh, no.
Don't worry, they're still friends.
Yeah.
I can tell you definitively I'm not a cheater, so.
So you guys are going out officially and we're paying for it.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Oh, thanks.
All right.
This is a lot better than the last time he called it.
Yeah.
That's what has hope.
Cheating in college may not have helped him academically, but romantically,
but romantically, years later, it's finally paying off.
It's a really good point.
Cheating works, everyone.
That's not the message.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
So this is a podcast about video games.
Kind of.
It's also about friendship.
Definitely.
And chaos.
Unavoidably.
Welcome to It's Dangerous to Go Alone.

There is no gatekeeping.
There is no skill check.
If you win a game on easy mode, we support you.
If you've never touched a controller, honestly, same energy for some of us.
It's fun.
It's chaotic.
It's friendship with a loose gaming theme.

And on my podcast, 2%, I break down the science of mental toughness, fitness, and building resilience in our strange modern world.
I'll be speaking with writers, researchers, and other health and fitness experts, and more.
to look past the impractical and way too complex pseudoscience that dominates the wellness industry.
We really believe that seed oils were inherently inflammatory.
We got it wrong.
Many of the problems that we are freaked out about in the world are the result of stress.

Well, another successful second date for Daniel.
I mean, I'd say a more successful second date for Daniel.
Yeah, but wait until the update update when Daniel tells us he caught this girl making up with the college mascot.
Oh, boy.
I mean, if they don't have a human face, does it count?
It's not really cheating if you're just making up with the mascot head.
Is he just the most cheat-onable person ever?
No, I think they're really cute.
I think this could actually.
work out. Yeah. I mean, they have
a history already. They have a fun
how you met story. Totally.
They're all set up for success here. I mean, it would be
a great wedding reception.
Story.
And then the radio's involved. You don't think so?
Yeah. She's the reason I didn't... Well, I guess
didn't get out of college. He did. Yeah, no, it worked out, man.
Your mom almost failed me.
It could be cute. And you could be our next
cute couple that we set up on our show.
All you got to do is email us first. We'll call
that person who's not calling you back. Go check
