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.

Normally, when we hear about amazing first dates on this show, it's this big, elaborate tale that went to multiple locations and lasted across several days. Yeah, cost tons of money. Yeah, because the two of them just, you know,

couldn't bring themselves to walk away from each other. Oh, wow. But is it possible to have a life-changing first date that only lasts 30 minutes? Oh. I mean, a first something. For me, I can squeeze one life-changing date in in 30 seconds. That's what I'm saying. Because I'm efficient.

I knew you guys were going to do that. But it's not about me. Jeff gets us. It's about Connor. Because he's on the phone right now. And I just hope. Because I'm efficient. I knew you guys were going to do that. But it's not about me. Jeff gets us. It's about Connor because he's on the phone right now, and I just hope that we can help him. Connor, what's good, man? Hey, thanks for having me. I know the way you set that up makes me sound really extra.

Yeah, you sound pretty extra and dramatic for sure, Connor. Do you not stand by Jeff's statement? I mean, look, if I'm on this show, I have to be at least a little bit. I normally wouldn't do this, but I just met this girl, and I've never caught feelings for somebody this quick. And I feel like if I don't do everything I can to at least try to figure out why I'm not hearing back from her, then I'm doing myself a disservice. That's true.

You've got to learn and grow from your mistakes. Exactly. So tell us about this woman who just changed your life. What's her name? Her name is Renee. Okay. And how'd you meet her? The most romantic way possible, online, of course. I mean, did you know when you saw her online that she was like, I mean, you're describing her as something incredible, right? Yeah, like, I don't believe in, like, love at first sight or anything.

Like, lust at first sight, for sure. This was something, like, almost in between, if that makes sense. That's a good place to live. What did you love so much about her? I saw her picture, and, you know, obviously, like, caught my attention. She's gorgeous. But the thing I couldn't, like, quite place my finger on is, like, she just reminded me of someone. Like, I don't know.

A mom? Yeah. Oh. That tends to be how it goes. I thought he was going to go with a celebrity, Jeff. Yeah. Not a mom. Okay.

Who was it? Not even a celebrity, but I think the closest I can think of is like she kind of reminds me of like this friend I had from college. So it's like almost like just seeing her made me feel sort of like connected to her. Oh, okay. Like a familiar face. Yeah, there was a comfort there already. Yeah, so I reached out and I was like,

hey, are you this person by chance? And she said no. And, you know, we got to talking and eventually we started talking over the phone. And, you know, like the first phone call when you meet someone online, it's like always awkward. You never know if you're gonna have

the same kind of like chemistry you might have just texting or whatever. But I immediately felt comfortable talking to her. And the conversation was really good. So I took it as a sign. I asked her out. And she said yes. And where do we ask her out to? I decided to take her to one of my favorite bakeries.

I figured, you know, low pressure, first date type thing. Oh, that's brilliant. A bakery date. It smells good first date that's brilliant a bakery date it smells good everyone's happy in a bakery relatively low cost but it's also like a first date without alcohol i don't mean to be terrible but it's like things i for me i just get actually good and i need like there's just something about sitting down with a glass of wine or something with someone that just kind of takes the edge off. Like a daytime bakery. It's a little more bogus.

Or friend-like. So tell us about your friend-like, boring, sober bakery. I don't think sober is bad. Just for me, it is. How was it for you? I'll have you know that wine can't take the edge off nearly as good as my favorite bakery's amazing maple bars so we have that going for it okay okay i can get behind that oh yeah you're starting to sell me what was it like when you first saw her like was she everything that you were hoping she'd be oh yeah

well i mean when you meet someone online like they show up looking half as good as the picture you consider yourself lucky she looked even better so i'm just like oh so i at least i know she's also honest which was really nice okay so first impression is good how did the actual conversation and the date go i thought it went really well so before we even like started to like sit down and talk i was like hey you have to try these maple bars kind of my move you know show them i've got good taste and also like who isn't in a better mood when you're having like something that's like warm and sweet and doughy yeah she's like well i'm kind of diabetic and you're like no you have to try the maple ball was she into it yeah she said it was delicious we sat down had a little bit of coffee you know just like very first

conversation stuff but it flowed very well yeah like what would you guys talk about oh you know like favorite movies and books, that type of stuff. Okay. I got to say, you know, Jeff set this up as a woman that like changed your life in 30 minutes, but so far,

I mean, it sounds like a good date, but was there something like exceptional about it? Oh, so it's not exceptional enough to Brooke. So far. This sounds like something like Brooke and I would go do. Yeah.

It just sounds like a normal good first date. Do you know how rare a normal good first date is, Brooke? Stop trying to downplay it. Okay, so that's what it is. I mean, I'm just asking like the exceptional part, like what blew you out of the water? Well, here's the thing. Like the whole thing was maybe 40 minutes tops,

but like in that 40 minutes, like I thought we had like a good connection and you know we started talking about like future ambitions which is something i often don't talk about with someone until like the fourth or fifth date you know like i told her how i eventually want to be like a master french chef that's kind of my dream that i'm pursuing who specializes in french maple bars but i'm assuming i would date him for a while just based on that alone. Yes. Give me a cordon bleu. And she seemed really supportive.

Awesome. And 40 minutes, I mean, that's not a very long date, but it sounds like it went well. How did you end it? Gave her a hug and said, I had a really great time. I'd like to see her again. And maybe it ended on an awkward note. I'm not sure. I made a joke that I hope she didn't take the wrong way.

She was leaving and said, wait, you're not going to gonna pay me for the maple bar and she kind of looked at me for a second i said no i'm just joking yeah you laughed but yeah you owe me 46 cents lady all right so in your email you told us that you've been texting and calling her but she's not answering anything yeah and you know i'm an adult know what that means, but I don't know if it's, like, something I can salvage or, at the very least, learn to not do on a future date. Okay. Well, the good news is you don't have to salvage it.

That's our job. That's right. We'll play a song. We're going to call Renee for you and get you your second date update right after this, okay? Okay. Yeah, fingers crossed. All right. We'll do it right after this. Hold on. Second date update right after this okay okay yeah peter's cross all right we'll do it right after this hold on second date update we're in the middle of a second date update with connor

who says he doesn't really believe in love at first sight yeah but something he clearly does believe in is love at first bite that's a good point because Yo, what's that sound effect about? Because he took Renee to a bakery where they make the most decadent, creamy, moist, mouth-watering homemade maple bars his oral cavity has ever seen. Dude, I'm about... I think donut sales just shot up around the world. I'm about to make that sound you just played. The whole thing... Oh, thinking about it.

Please don't, yeah. We can't afford to lose any more listeners. Sounds so good. The whole thing only lasted about 40 minutes, he says, but that was all he needed to know that there's something special happening with him and Renee. Connor, is it possible that the maple bar was so good it put Renee into a week-long food coma and she just needs a little more time to come out of it and finally respond to you. I mean, if that's the explanation, then I'll be happy to know about it.

Okay. I'm just saying there's optimism over here. You know, my thought is, I don't know if you feel this, Connor, is that maybe just she found a couple other dudes to date. You know, like she said. A couple? Oh, wow. Dang, bro.

I don't know. Thanks for putting such a positive spin on this before we make the call. There's four men now. Sorry, bro call I think we can come back from that I thought that was a positive thing I just think she has She probably has a lot of options Because she sounds like a unicorn And she just doesn't realize how great you are

And that's where we come in To really sell Connor What Brooke means is you're one of ten And they probably gave her boo Isn't that the truth? I mean, let's be honest. Before we do any more positive talk with Connor, let's just move on and call Renee and actually get the answer. Are you ready to do this, man?

Let's do this. All right. Here we go. I'm dialing your number right now. Hello? Hey, is this renee um this is she may ask who's calling you may ask and i will answer in five minutes why don't you just answer her i'd like to set it up you're on the radio right now with brooke and jeffrey in the morning i'm jeff if that wasn't super clear and i'm brooke and i'm jeff i don't know anymore i don't sorry i don't like i don't know your show yeah sorry we're totally kidding we're like a comedy we're quirky and weird i'll just get to it because we're doing something right now called

a second date update and we're looking to help one of our listeners connor get back in touch with you hey now she's laughing have you heard our podcast or are you last laughing wait wait wait wait wait you talked to him yeah wait he doesn't know he doesn't know? He doesn't know what? He doesn't know what. I honestly, like, I don't know what to say other than he is the most clueless guy in the entire world. What? I told all my friends about our date, and they all told me that I should, like, post it on TikTok because it's just so. Your friends told you you should post one? Wait, wait. We're talking about a 30-minute coffee date at a bakery.

He didn't mention anything crazy when we spoke to him. Is that the same Connor? It's the same. It's Connor, but maybe I'm going to paint you the picture because it's ridiculous. Three and a half years ago, maybe even like four, honestly, I was on a different dating app. Okay. Where this guy hit me up and he invited me to go to a bakery so at the bakery this person like insisted i tried these amazing maple bars whatever and we

talked about like our favorite movies and books and guess who that person was guess the name of that person shut up don't tell me it's connor wait it's the same dude so yes i have been out with connor the same connor you're talking about on the exact same bakery date three and a half years ago wait when did you realize it was the same guy from three years prior like when we matched how do you not remember going on a date with someone why did you go through with it then if you knew you had already been on a date with this guy three years ago why did you continue because i genuinely thought it was a joke and that when we like got there he'd be like we're not actually going here again oh you thought he

was setting you up to be like okay because you thought he remembered too. I just went along with it. Was the second time at least better? Seriously, both dates, it was the exact same conversation. Like, I already know his favorite book, Slaughterhouse-Five, his favorite movie, Shaun of the Dead. You have a good memory. I even know also about his five-year plan to become a master French cook or whatever. But clearly, he hasn't made much progress because that was three and a half years ago. French cooking is hard to master, though.

He's got a year and a half left. Oh, one more thing. The first time that we did go on our date, he ghosted me. So wait, I was going to ask. Wait, three years ago he ghosted you, and this time he has, I mean, he's describing you as like this amazing woman that he can't let

get away yeah and don't just take it from us connor is actually on the other line listening and wants to tell you himself isn't that right connor you're joking this can't be real seriously connor connor how many women have you taken to that bakery over the years like 300 400 like oh my gosh look look it's not that many but it's my favorite first date spot i wait but you even made the same joke like you made the same like are you gonna pay me back for that maple bar joke you did that the first time connor you don't remember her at all look i i told you guys i knew she seemed familiar i thought it was familiarity and like actually like our first date we spent time together wow i i hate to ask this but are you sure it was me you were on a date with connor is your favorite movie shot of the dead

100 positive is that your favorite movie bro shot the Dead? I'm 100% positive. Connor, is that your favorite movie, bro, Shaun of the Dead? I mean, yeah. See? And he uses that same joke over and over. It's not even a good joke. This is when you start apologizing, buddy. Like, she's mad, you ghosted her the first time,

and then you didn't even remember her the second time. Like, it's kind of insult to injury. You ghosted her the first time and then you didn't even remember her the second time. It's kind of insult to injury. I mean, look, I'm not trying to make excuses for myself, but three and a half years ago was a long time. I've matured a lot since then, as I'm sure a lot of people have. I'm older. I'm wiser. I apologize. Very much so.

Look, I ghosted you. I'm so sorry. I was clearly Sincere. Very much so. Look, I jostled you. I'm so sorry. I was clearly an idiot then. I'm clearly an idiot now. So not much material. But the fact that he had the wherewithal to reach out to a radio station to reach out to you shows the personal growth that he's made in that time. True. I mean, it was an honest mistake.

Yeah. No, I get that. I'm just kind of like over it. Like at this point, like I'm nervous. Renee, I think you're being a little bit too judgmental because you're hungry and what you need is another maple bar. I'm not judging you. Don't throw a woman hangry.

A third maple bar will do it. I think so. I think if you get another maple bar in that mouth, you're going to see what a great guy Connor is and we'd like to put another maple bar in that mouth, you're going to see what a great guy Connor is, and we'd like to put that maple bar in there and send you on another date. I'll just say, Renee, I am terrible at remembering faces. Yeah, but it's not even about that.

It was the exact same date. It was the exact same conversation. Yeah, but it's like a movie that you love so much you just want to watch it over and over again. Yeah, it's like a notebook. Yeah. It's actually nothing like that, though. I still think you should give him another shot.

And this time he can do a totally different place. A whole new conversation. He'll ask about your favorite exercise activity. What? Connor? Yeah, I mean, third time's the charm. All right. Oh, there you go.

That's why they say that. It's not a really strong argument. It's a yes from's the charm. All right. There you go. That's why they say that. It's not a really strong argument. It's a yes from Connor. Renee, what do you say? I wish you nothing but the best, Connor. But, like, I don't want to ghost you the way you ghosted me. So I'm just going to tell you straight up that I'm not interested. Okay.

Connor, how are you doing now? Dude. I mean, hopefully three and a half years from now she'll forget about this we can try again set an alarm buddy we'll be here for you brooke and jeffrey in the morning john stewart is back at the daily show and he's bringing his signature wit and insight straight to your ears with the daily show ears edition podcast dive into john's unique take on the biggest topics in politics bringing his signature wit and insight straight to your ears with the Daily Show Ears Edition podcast.
