Listen to The Daily Show, ears edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Tomer Cohen, LinkedIn's Chief Product Officer. If you're just as curious as I am about the way things are built, then tune into my podcast,

Building One. I speak with some of the best product builders out there. I've always been inspired by frustration. It came back to my own personal pain point. So we had to go out to farmers and convince them. Following that curiosity is a superpower. You have to be obsessed with the human condition. Listen to Building One on the iHeartRadio app, Apple, or great for a dating scenario. Do you glide here often?

Hey, don't get so close to me. Don't get so close to me. Tree. See, other than that, I think outdoor stuff and sports in particular are a good idea. Oh, for sure. Because you're being active, the endorphins are going, and they don't know if you have a dungeon at that point. You got to keep the surprises for later. That's one of the benefits of sports.

But they'd know it if you were hang gliding, of course. Totally. You got a sweet dungeon or what? But one of our listeners says she met someone during a sports activity. Not sure if there are dungeons involved with her yet, but let's talk to Avery about it. Avery, welcome to the show. Oh, hi.

Hey. Are you hoping for dungeons or are you against dungeons, Avery about it. Avery, welcome to the show. Oh, hi. Hey. Are you hoping for dungeons or are you against dungeons? Avery. I don't know how I feel about dungeons. Wait till the second day to explore the dungeon talk. Mutual dungeon, I see.

Let's start with the first encounter that you had. I guess, what's your activity that you did where you met this guy? I joined this like recreational softball league oh that's fun okay could be less of a couch potato you know yeah totally those are always so fun and a lot of those leagues they drink a little bit yeah the softball is really good because it's mostly standing so it's a nice transition from the couch yeah no okay ease into it okay is he on the team Well, he's not on my team.

He is actually on a team we played against. The enemy. Okay. Yeah, he basically saved me. Whoa. Saved you. Yeah. Well, okay.

Can we get his name real quick? Oh, his name is Josh. Josh. Okay. How did Josh save you you well at first and foremost like i am not good at softball like the team i joined they're very nice to let me play but they made me like the base coach you know i think in an effort that i would do they don't even give you right field

no sounds like that you are having fun with it still she's like i don't know if you should run should you i'm just like you got this sweetie i'm like okay okay all right yelling sweetie like the team mom okay so you're you're base coaching what happened yeah so basically a foul ball is coming right at my face and this this guy from the other team, he just, like, reaches in front of me and, like, catches the ball. Ugh, an out for your team? That sucks. Would have been better if it got hit in the face. Yeah, just take it to the chest.

Definitely never going to be on my team. That's cool. That's nice. So Josh is the one that saved you and caught the ball? Yeah, he saved my face. Please tell me. Because every guy kind of dreams of something like this. Did it impress you?

Really? Well, yeah. Saving a girl. Making a really good catch because I used to play baseball. And the crush you have sees it. Did it impress you? Oh, honey, let me tell you. It works.

Oh. Okay. Jose's childhood dream is coming to life. Now I just got to start playing baseball. Hey, Brooke, think fast. Oh, God. Oh! Hit her. Jose, you're supposed to stop that from hitting her.

Sorry, my reflex is gone. Hey, but listen, there wasn't an out on my team, so I'm cool with it. See, everybody wins. This was a good idea. Okay, so that was the start of your and Josh's long romance. Yes, I'm like like this man is adorable he's my hero he looks good in the softball outfit oh okay okay is this encounter is this the date was there a date that happened after this no okay so after the game i went up to him and like

thanked him again for saving my face and then there was like a bar right by where we were and i was like oh hey do you want to run over there and grab a beer real quick? So we just went and got a drink. It was nothing crazy. You know, it's just 20 minutes. We chit chatted and exchanged numbers. OK, but it was just you, too. So that's a good I mean, that's a date.

It was like a pre date. I mean, I thought maybe. OK, how did you end the night with him? I mean, there was no like scandal scandal there was no like kissing or anything but he did offer to give me a ride home and oh that's good he has this like cool old pickup truck that like reminded me of this truck that my dad drove when i was like it's like it was just like a call it felt like a little extra sign of like oh he's got the truck and he saved my life and he's cute in the softball outfit and all that. You know what I mean? You're definitely crushing on him because when you have that

feeling, I think people look for signs religiously. Old trucks are sexy. They just are. Old trucks are hot. Didn't you buy your husband an old truck and then he sold it like a month later? No, we sold it like eight years later. We never drove it because we had kids and there's no backseat

and you can't put him in the bed anymore like you used to yeah old trucks super hot it was hot when it was just he and i okay we'll get another old truck someday okay so how long has this been since you last saw josh i mean it hasn't really been that long but we texted back and forth a little bit and then he just kind of like stopped responding so i don't i don't know if he wasn't feeling it or if i i don't know maybe i said or did something i don't know have you seen him back on the softball field or have you talked to him since then well no because he's not on my team yeah right well it doesn't sound like you're really much on your own team even so i don't see why you couldn't go over there she could base coach any team just cheer everybody on for the league at this point.

How dare you? How dare you? I'm just kidding, Avery. We're messing around. But we will try and call Josh here and try and get you your second date update when we come right back, okay? Okay. All right, hold on. Second date update.

Mariah Carey taught us you never know when a hero might come along. You just don't. And give you the strength to carry on. And help you cast your fears aside so that you know you can survive. Yeah, I wish you would have sang it, Jeff. Even Alexis knows that song. True. Wow.

And one of our listeners, Avery, met her hero the other day at a recreational softball game. Oh, man. I bet this song was playing in the background. It was a dude on the other team named Josh who saved her life when he caught a foul ball right before it hit her in the face. I don't know why that made me laugh. I'm sorry. It was a special moment. At least you're laughing that it didn't hit her, Brooke.

Yeah. She's just staring at it? Like there's no ducking. Like the Sandlot, just, oh, here it comes. Well, Avery admits that she's not the most athletic type of person. She's doing this just to get out of her shell and get out into the world. It's great. And it's amazing because she met this guy and they grabbed a drink at a bar.

He drove her home that night. Now she's just trying to get another hangout. I forgot to ask, Avery, you did cover with josh that he was single right i mean because there could be the case where maybe he just thought you were just saying thank you for yeah what if he has a girlfriend no he's single okay you know that i love that you laugh no matter what you're saying like you could just tell even if he's not single Not important Am I right Avery? No that's important When you know you know

When the hero comes along I think that's it Doesn't matter if they're married or not He wouldn't have saved you if he was in a relationship That's right He would have let the ball hit her He goes Honey some chick got hit hard

I didn't catch it because I love you. Oh, that'd be so messed up. No, it's couples bonding. But let's find out what's really going on with Josh if he answers the phone. I'm going to dial his number right now. You ready to do this, Avery? Yeah, I want to know. Okay.

Here we go. Calling him right now. Hello? Hey, is this Josh? This is he. Who's this? Hey, Josh, my name is Jeff. I'm a morning radio host on a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. My co-host is already laughing at me

for how I said that. What was wrong with it, Brooke? It's just really forced. It was a little clunky. That was weird, bro. Okay. Hey, Josh. Hey, we're on a morning radio show, Josh.

How are you, brother? I'm mean. Yeah, brother. What's up? I'm all right. I'm trying to be like me. What's up, my homes? You can't be cool like me, Kim.

Go back to awkward. Yeah, I don't say my homes. I'm trying to be casual here. Sorry, Josh. Everyone be quiet. Jeff, do your job. Sorry to. Trying to be casual here. Sorry, Josh. Everyone be quiet. Jeff, do your job. Sorry to interrupt you in the middle of your day, but we're doing a segment called a second date update.

We'd like you to be a part of it. Sorry, this is random. Well, Brooke, why don't you explain how this works so I don't scare him away. Well, Josh, a lovely listener of ours was interested in you, and you're not killing her back. You met a woman the other day when you were playing softball named avery oh now you're laughing why are you laughing what's going on uh i mean

it was pretty clear that she was kind of into me. Okay. Okay. Is that good? Or are you, like, in a relationship? No, no, it's not that. It's just, like, there was, I don't know how to say it, like, an air of desperation. You know what I mean? Like, every time I looked, she was looking at me. You were getting a vibe that she was maybe, like,

super, super into it right from the start a little bit too much? A little, yeah, but it was more so like a day or two later, I'm in a coffee shop somewhere and I'm pretty certain I saw her walk by staring at me. What? At a coffee shop?

Somehow knew I was in that coffee shop. No. Whoa. Okay, that would be creepy. Yeah, that's a lot. I mean, if it's true. Unless you all live in the same neighborhood. Like, I run into people I know all the time at the coffee shop, at the grocery store. Dang, Brooke, can you be stocky? You're a married woman, Brooke. No, I'm just saying.

Could have been a coincidence. It could have been a coincidence. Yeah. Totally could have been a coincidence, except she then was there at my bank when I was at my bank. Oh! Is this a really small town? Wait, was she the... It's out of three people.

It's me, her, and the mayor. I picture her as the teller for some reason. She's just in every business he walks into. It seemed that way is what I'm saying. It seemed like she was following me. Wait, did you ever go up and say hi to her? Because it's weird. She didn't mention that she saw you at all.

No, she didn't. After the softball game. That is strange. Or like, I was trying to run into him. You actually even asked. You said, have you seen him since? Like, on the softball field. And she's like, nope. Yeah, but I guess I meant when I asked her like, have you had a conversation with him? You should start asking the listeners

have you stalked him since the date. I mean, that seems like a big stretch. I didn't get that type of vibe when we talked to her. Yeah, I don't know. Do you feel like maybe you could just be in your head about it, Josh? How can you see the same person that you know or sort of know? What if it was a coincidence and she thinks you were stalking her?

She would have told us probably. That's probably true. No, that is, I would be creeped out a little bit if that's second one is the second one yeah i mean at least the good news is she's not like secretly listening on this phone call right now like knowing that you would be on it or anything like that oh wait a second she actually is wait what yeah that's how this segment works we uh we have them listening quietly on the other line. Sorry. You didn't think that was important information when I was saying she was everywhere around me?

I didn't even think about it. We were digesting. Didn't really come to my head there. Oh, by the way, she's on the other line listening. Yeah. You know what? My bad. But she is there.

Avery? Hi. Hi. Oh, you're awfully chipper. She is. Did you hear what he said avery uh yeah just a coincidence right i mean not exactly oh no you can't follow people or if you do be good at it you're following him well i'm not like consistently following him. I just.

What's going on? Full disclosure. I do like Josh. I got the little flutter when he saved me at the game. But then seeing his truck, honestly, I just, I really, really like the truck. It reminds me of my dad. And I kind of want to buy the truck like i was hoping i could make an offer and then i felt like if i just casually ran into him like if he wasn't

into me i could still maybe get the truck is i guess what i was thinking so you're not you're not seeing you're not like following him you're seeing his truck around town and that's how you know where he is? Kinda. Kinda? Kinda. Avery. How are you doing it? What's going on? Yeah.

Just be honest. I mean, he gave me a ride on the truck and I may have air tagged it. What? What? That is so, it's got to be illegal. That's crazy. Are you joking right now?

Oh. You have a tracking device in my truck right now that's crazy that's what you're telling me it's not that big of a you're not like in any danger and like if i wanted to do something too like dangerous avery that is nuts i just thought like if he wasn't into me at least i could like run into him cash you know what I mean? And still get the truck. Dude, air tag is so scary.

Yeah. Dude, it pops up on your phone. It'll say, like, an air tag is following you. Have you seen that on your phone, Josh? Thank goodness I don't have it. No, I got Android. See? Team Android, you're safe.

Dude, you need that. No, it's unsafe. You're not safe because then you don't know. So, Josh, you've never been air tagged by a woman before? Oh, come on. Nobody knows it. No, I got to say, this is atagged by a woman before? Oh, come on. Nobody knows it. No, I got to say, this is a first for me. I mean, it's...

Dude, I am so sorry. Listen, I know it's awkward now, but, like, it's out there. You know, I'm interested in him and the truck, you know? Oh, my God. Weirdest way to put the vibe out, but it's okay. If you take a look at the other side, in a way, Josh, it's kind of flattering. Kind of. It is.

What? Yeah. I don't know. I think Jeff's stretching really hard to try to see Avery's side here. Our job is to help Avery get another date with you, and we're going to offer to send you out with her one more time, and we'd pay for it. Make her take the air tag off,

please, Jeff. I'm sure this is going to work out. Josh, I will save you the trouble. It's under your passenger seat. You can throw it away. She's got plenty to go around for the next round of men. She's like, don't worry. There's one behind his license plate, too. Josh, that's pretty appealing.

You've got to admit. No. That's appealing? Yeah. I mean, your semi-stalker just told you how to stop being stalked. You're welcome. Yes, I should get brownie points for that. You agreed with him?

Brownie points. Go get brownie points for stopping stalking. Yeah. I'm with Josh on this one. That's where the dating world is now. Yeah. So what do you say? One more meet up with Avery.

We're going to pay for it. No, absolutely not. Yeah. Oh, man. We figured, though. Yeah. Okay, but would you sell me the truck? Hey.

I don't think he's doing it. Let's have one good thing come out of this phone call. Make some money. No. Make some money. Let's make it positive. Just set the price for $70,000. That's all you got to do.

And Josh, you don't even have to answer right now. Let's roll this over into our next Awkward Tuesday phone call. We'll get a bidding war going. Psycho wants to buy a truck. Awkward. I'm in. Oh, my God. I know you are.
