Yeah, to just, you know, give you something to listen to on a Saturday and we've got two of them back to back right now. Yeah, we do. And if you need more things to fill your time, you could be like Cynthia, who said,

I love listening to you guys on my way to work, and I recently discovered your YouTube. 10 times better than the radio, L.O.L. I wonder what's so much better. You can see us? Yeah. I mean, it would make it worse. Definitely not that.

I've got to do something about it. Yeah. I wonder. So you can follow our YouTube. We'd love new subscribers, of course, at Brooke and Jeffrey. And we are starting to roll out slowly more videos around our second date updates where it's us doing them live in studio. Yeah. You know, it takes a crew to get all of that video done.

But we're working as hard as we can. So thank you so much for the subscription. And we're going to start your back-to-back classics. Repeat right now. My dog bagel loves it. When I bring people home on the first date. Oh, I bet he does. He gets all excited.

His tail sticks straight up. And he runs into the other room so he can watch us through the one-way mirror that I put in. You have a one-way mirror. Just for your dog? So Bagel has seen things that he will never forget. Wow, he's just trained to go to the room and watch. Is there dog therapy available? I have so many questions, Jeff.

He doesn't need it. But I'll tell you, he's never seen what happened in today's second. date update. Oh. Where a guy was invited back to hang out at his dates place, they spent hours there. Yeah. And what happened, the entire room is still trying to process it. Yeah.

In total disbelief, you have to hear it in your second date update. I feel so much like bagel right now, honestly. Oh. Yeah, confused. You enjoy right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. First impressions are everything.

Oh, they're pretty important. Like, Brooke, what did you think when you first met me that very first day? I mean, I remember you trying to put your hands all over me. But what thoughts were dancing around in your mind? I think you were a promotion kid. I don't know that you left a huge mark on me, Jeff. I don't fully. She was leaving the claw marks on to me.

That was the main thing. Yeah, I don't think so. She's being cruel for self-preservation. It's okay. I get that. I just don't recall. Well, what I do know is first impressions can make or break a romantic connection. Oh, I know.

You were scared. That's what I remember about you. Just the look in Brooke's eyes when she was eyeing my entire body. It was. Sorry. But fear. You must have been so scared. I was.

Back to the listener. But with first impressions, sometimes it could be the smile that stands out. It could be the outfit. It could be something you didn't even expect. Like what's happening below the ankles. What? The ankles? What the heck?

Hey. Some action. You got some planar fasciitis going on down there, girl? It's working for me. I'll just say our listener, Derek, had a very interesting first impression with his date. So let's find out about it. Derek, welcome to the show. Hey, thanks for having me on.

Please tell me it's above the ankles. It's very likely. We'll find out what's this girl's name that you met recently. Yeah, I recently met Julia on a dating app. Oh, okay. Is that where you're talking about the first impression or the first impression when you met in person? No, it was when we met in person, and I know this is going to sound kind of weird, but she was not quite as cute as her pictures.

Oh, rude? Oh, well, but here's the weird part. Not until later on in the date. Were you drinking? Well, no, not exactly. The impression I got is that she kind of forgot about the date, and she came in right from a workout. Oh, that makes sense.

So she wasn't all done up. I see. Right, right, right. Workout close. Did she get cuter, like, the more you got to know her? Because I know some people that, like, after you know them, you're like, oh, my God, I could see why they're so attractive. She's talking about me again. No, I'm not.

So that's one is, Brooke, you got a cool it over here. We're talking to Derek about him and Julia. That would definitely part of it, but there were also, like, some circumstances, like, as the date progressed. Oh, it started raining, and so then she was twirling in the rain. I got it. I see it, too, Jose. That would be interesting. Basically, the best part was that even though she looked a little like frazzled, I could tell that she had like a cool vibe.

I could tell she was really stylish. I could tell she was confident and like the conversation was really flowing. We were talking about like travel. I had just gone to London last year and she went to Paris two years ago. We like were sharing stories about that. Can I ask, do we know where you are? Like what did you guys do? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

We met at this like rooftop bar. It was great. We met for drinks and we were like, um, we got. got a little food and we were like eating off each other's plates. Oh, that's a good sign. Whoa. Yeah. And honestly, kind of got like messy would be the way I would describe it.

Yes, let's talk about this. Let's get into the messy stuff. Messy on a rooftop. How messy did we get? I would say it was like a date brought to you by Tide to go. What? No, someone spilled? Oh.

Oh, yeah. I did a couple things. She made a mess on the cloth napkins and she like spilled salsa, but it made it look like They were like bloody napkins. Oh, man. Red on white. We were laughing about it. It was like part of the fun of the day.

And I, like, that's something that ran through my mind is like, I hope she doesn't just think I'm this like swab of a guy, but she was just as messy as me. So I don't think that was it. Yeah. I mean, who cares of you inconvenience to everybody in the bar and all the employees there? As long as the two of you were vibing, really that's all that matters in this scenario. Fair, fair, fair. That's good.

So how did that night end? Well, so this is. where I'm like pretty sure that I didn't read the vibes wrong, right? So at the end, she was like, I'm sorry, you know what? I feel really gross. Like I didn't get a chance to like clean up. And she was like, do you want to come over and I'll like clean up? And I don't think she would have like asked me over if she wasn't into the date and wasn't feeling it.

No. Yeah, I hate this guy texting her friends. I'm just going to invite him over for a couple hours. Yeah, while I shower. Yeah, why I get bold. What? Well, maybe she wanted him. him to clean her up like she needed an assistant to help her do it.

Like a pair of monkeys picking bugs out of each other's hair? See, Brooke's done it before. She knows. No, that is definitely a green flag. I don't know if it's a green flag that she wants a relationship with you, but it definitely means that she likes you. Yeah. I mean, did you say yes to that invite?

Oh, yeah. We hung out for like several hours and it was getting late. We were in bed. We didn't like go all the way. I'm not going to really get into this. details of that, but I didn't say the whole night because I was like, I actually do have to work the next day, so I like needed to be in my space, you know? And I left really late and we had like been in bed together. And I just hope, I don't know, I hope I didn't make her feel bad about

leaving. Okay. I'm sure. Tell her. It's possible that maybe. Yeah, but do you believe a guy if he says I have work in the morning, I have to go? It's a weekday. Yeah. People work on the weekends too. I mean, I could just see where she may be like, oh, man, he didn't like me. I think Alexis asking a question, though. Did you tell her that? Like, did you explain anything the next day? Oh, yeah. The first text I sent to her was on my way to work.

It was like, hope you slept well. And last night it was great and we'll talk soon. Did she respond to that text? So that's just it. It's been seven or eight days. I have texted her a few times to, like, check in. I haven't been completely ghosted, but I just am not getting back. a lot. Like in the beginning, I got, like, one-word answers, and now it's kind of, like, trailed off.

She's like, she's like K. Yeah. Well, hopefully we get more than one-word answers. We have to leave a good first impression with her. Yeah. This whole thing's about first impression. Yeah, but her first impression was she wasn't that cute, so we're good at that. Okay, so just be us. All right.

We'll just try and do it the normal way when we come back, call Julia, and get you your second-date update right after this. Hold on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second Date Update. I'm going to do a quick recap here on the second date update if you're just joining us. It's always helpful. Listener Derek met Julia at a rooftop bar for drinks and super messy food. She had apparently come straight from a workout, so at the end of the date, she invited Derek to come back to her place because she wanted to freshen up.

Hey, they put on a little something more comfortable. I mean, honestly, is there a better question to ask a guy? We know what that usually means. Yeah, that felt good. And it did lead to them in bed. They did lie in the same bed at some point because Derek stayed, he said, half the night or a quarter the night. Not really sure how to explain it.

Yeah, didn't stay the whole night. But now he is not getting a call back and isn't sure why. And that brings us to this moment right here. And remember, he said he's not fully being ghost. but it's like little short answer, something's off. It's weird that there's such a turn. Such a turn in that energy from her. Derek, did we miss anything that you did wrong

or that you could have done better? I don't think so. Like I said, I just, I don't know what's going on. I really like this girl. I've heard you guys help people before. I've heard people like... Try to help people. Yeah, but like you get to the bottom of misunderstanding

and like I've heard people have a second date and get past the problem. So I'd like to just know what the problem is so I can fix it. Hey. Look at that. That's emotional maturity. Yeah, we don't normally like that here, but that's fine. We'll work with it. Let's call Julia. We'll see if she picks up and get

those answers you want. Here we go. I appreciate that. Thank you. Really stop being so nice. It's irritating. Here we go. She's obviously the problem. Hello. Hi, we're looking to speak with Julia. This is she. Oh.

Hey. Hi, Julia. So nice. Yeah, thanks for picking up, Julia. I said we, because you're on a radio show right now called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Oh. Oh. Oh. For real? Yeah. It doesn't happen very often, I'm sure. Mostly because there's not very many radio shows left. Yeah. That's part of it. And this is a segment that we do on our show called a second date update. Oh, gosh. Okay. Okay. I think this one's going to be good. Honestly, I think you're going to be excited about this. Yeah, I got a good guy. Yeah, and I hope this doesn't sound weird, but we heard you went out with.

with a guy named Derek recently. Oh, no. What? No, me, no. I don't know. Derek's, it sounded like you were into Derek. Maybe it could just be that she's like nervous on the radio right now.

Oh, okay. Do it again. Hold on. Let's tell her again and you can react again. Yeah, here we go. No, I've definitely not been on the radio, but I don't really want to talk about Derek either. Oh.

Why? Okay. Well, Derek told us about the hangout you two had the other night. and it sounded really fun from the way he described it. It was fun. Good. I mean, you got to understand how he's confused. You invited him to, like, hang out at your place and now nothing.

Yeah. Well, so I did invite him over, and we were having a great time. But he was over for quite a while, and he never took his shoes off. In your house or in your apartment? Is that a rule that you have? Like, yeah, take your shoes off when you come in. I mean, there's always two types of places, right? A shoes on or shoes off house.

My place, shoes are encouraged. Get everything money, I don't care. But then I have friends who, even for parties, shoes off. Sure. You have a party? Yes. What about the bed? Did you tell him that?

Well, so yes, I definitely, I am a shoe kind of off person, but it was our first day. We're just sitting on the couch. It's okay. It wasn't completely walking around my apartment. And it can really ruin your outfit. Like, you're on a first day. You play on the look. Like, who knows what kind of socks he had on?

Maybe that was the issue. Yeah. Yeah. Like if you had to take them off and bring a skirt and you're in socks, it's amazing. You guys know exactly how men think. It's so true. Hey, men, there's a lot of shoe heads out there that love their shoes. It takes the outfit go together.

Okay. Did you consider that, Julia? Sure. And I didn't want to be rude either. And so that's why later when we were watching TV and getting kind of comfortable with each other and everything. I was like, do you want to get comfortable and take your shoes off? And he was like, no.

And that was sort of weird. That's really funny because it's hard to snuggle with shoes on. It means it your feet are always on the ground. But it gets worse, you guys. It gets worse. How does it get worse? Well, I don't, I mean, maybe he didn't tell you, but we did end up in my bed. Yeah.

With his shoes still on. What? Oh, okay. He got it. He got into your head. bed with his shoes on? Ew. That would be uncomfortable. And disgusting. Yeah. How did you react when he did that?

I was appalled and I'm like, what are you doing? Get your shoes off of my bed. And he's like, this is my thing. I don't take my shoes off. And I'm like, am I in the twilight zone? Are you insane? You know, I didn't say anything. I think I just kind of freaked out. And thankfully, he left like 20, 30 minutes later. I think that like the clothes that you wore, for the day or gross in your bed. Like, think of all the things you sit on and touch and move around. Like, the bottom of your shoes are all over everything.

I'm not even a phone. I'm sorry, I did not expect it to be an issue that I keep my shoes on. That's really it. Shoe boys on the phone. Yeah, Julia, that's Derek. He's been listening this entire time on the other line. Really? It's not really, Derek, is it?

Yes, it's me. How's it going? Yeah. Yeah, I can't really believe that That's the reason you're not like returning my text. What? What? You've never heard that complaint before? You don't know any.

No. You know anyone else who wears their shoes as much as you do? I've been doing this like a really long time. This has been kind of my thing for like 15 years. I wear shoes 23 and a half hours a day. What's the 30 minute break for? Like a shower? Hopefully.

Yeah. Basically when I shower, I take the shoes up. Is it like a comfort, like a security blanket type of thing? Do you have weird feet? Or is it the fashion thing that the girls were saying? I don't know. I mean, the best way I can describe it, like, I am definitely as a person an extrovert, but my feet are introverted.

You have an introverted feet. Oh, yeah. And plus, if you think about it, it is a lot more efficient. It saves me like two to three minutes in the morning. That really adds up. That's a couple extra hours a month. I don't think that's the right back. Because you have to take your shoes off to put your pants on

and then put them back on. Who's taking their pants off? I'm not taking my pants off. You got in bed with her. Most women would expect you to take your pants off. That's kind of skilled, actually. Okay, wait, wait. If you have tear away pants, then you don't have to take them off over your shoes.

It has a lot of those. They're very useful. I actually think there could be a solution to all of this. Like, I hear you. You got your shoe thing. Whatever, that's you, man. Is there a way you could get, like, house slippers where you could, like, at least switch from... No.

No. No. No. Definitely not. Look, I live a no barefoot decision's lifestyle. If I want to be ready, I want to stay ready. Oh, so you just run at any moment. Right now.

If something happens, he's out the door. It's not a good point, Jeff. It is. If there's a fire, he is going to be the first one out. You can run out barefoot. But not as fast. Not as quickly. I think you would run equally as fast with those shoes off.

It's like you with your glasses. If you take your glasses off, you're lost in this world. Yeah, your handicack. You can't get out the door. That's because I can't see it, Jeff. It's because your glasses are introverts. Yeah, Brooke, and they're shy. They need to be on your face to feel comfortable out of you.

You make my eyes introverts, not my glasses. Your whole body's weird. Brooke, your eyes have no confidence. I feel like we're coming to common ground here. Really? He said no to slippers. Well, yeah, ground that the shoes stand on. So let's offer to send you guys out on another date.

We would pay for it. Julia, what do you think? Give him one more chance. I just can't. I honestly can't. It's so strange to me. Oh, no. I don't think I can adapt.

He's not willing to adapt? Why should I? That's a good point. I know you said that you've never heard this as a problem before, but this has got to be part of an issue with every woman you've ever been with. Yeah. Yeah. There's like even socks on in bed are an issue for most women. That's true.

Yeah. It's never really come up, but also I haven't been like actively dating like seriously. I think that was Julie like Oh You've heard of a farmer's tan I can't imagine a shoe tan Yeah I just say you need to work through it

I mean to me it's not a problem It's a strength Okay I'll be mature I don't So you deserve to be with someone who agrees with you Maybe you'll find a 23 hour Waring girl and you'll There is a woman out there

Who has her shoes on all the time and she's going to be appreciative when she finally walks into the room and sees you. How much you want to bet his soulmate works at a shoe store? Yeah, because his soulmate. Oh, wow. Hey, Derek. I'm sorry, man. You tried. What can I say?

Just in general, we're sorry. Yeah, but we'll be here for you if you ever need our support in the future, okay? Some arch support, of course, is what I mean. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

You know, it's funny, we've had a lot of feet guys come through the show in the last few years. Not a lot of shoe guys. No. Yeah. That was so weird. Yeah. I was trying to be open. He's got his shoe anxiety or something, like feet anxiety.

I don't know what's going on. I was trying to think what would be worse if he never took shoes off or if he never put shoes on. I would take no shoes over. That's somehow more normal. But like when you go to a wedding, he's going to be shoeless. Yeah, I know. But I would take that over the shoes. the shoes in the bed.

Yeah. I mean, I am kind of surprised that nobody in his life has brought this up to him in the last, like, 15 years. That seems pretty unlikely. That's weird. But I guess some people get confidence from like a nice haircut. Some people get it from a nice dress. Some people just get it from being single for a long time.

There you go. Because they keep their shoes on for 23 and a half hours every day. I also don't notice he have a lot of shoes or just one pair always. I mean, there were so many more questions that I had as well as Jose. But I was trying not to make it about me. Yeah, that's true. Well, we'll definitely have him back on for like a full interview. Yeah, shoot guy.

Yeah. We'll get the exclusive. But if you want help with your dating life, we can help you with that. Email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back.

In the movie Jurassic Park, Jeff Goldblum famously says, Life Finds Away. Yeah. And he rips off his shirt and smoulders for that camera. And ladies still love that, heck. That'll throwback. It was better 30 years ago when he left off a shirt than now. Yeah, that's right.

I don't know. Still works today, he has to me. But today we're going to try to make love find a way. After we heard about a very, very unique first date that combined the three big Ds, dinosaurs, drinking, and diamonds. Ooh. What's the one I was thinking of, Jim. It's never what you're thinking, bro.

How did all three of those mesh together into one wild night? You're going to hear it in a second date update. Next. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. Are you guys up to Mission Impossible with me and a listener today? I'm going to say no immediately. I don't know.

I'm into it. What are you going to do? Are you going to hang from a ceiling? Are you going to jump out of a plane? Her name is Sasha. And if this call doesn't go well, we might have to wear dark outfits. and black hats. Yes.

And Brooke, do you have any peanut butter? You want to smear all over your face? I probably have some on my face for my breakfast still. Earlier this morning, I usually do a peanut butter and... That's what's in the corner of your mouth. There we go.

Because we do, we might need to camo and go covert here. But we... Peanut butter camo. Yes, because we could be on a reconnaissance mission today. That all started with a first date, which ended up at a guy's place. What'd you leave there, girl?

So we're going to find out first. Let's welcome Sasha to the show. So Sasha, how you doing? Hey, I'm better now that I'm talking to somebody about this. Oh, good. I'm imagining you were like hiding somewhere in his house. Like, I need your house. I think he'll smell the peanut butter.

I got my jar to keep you ready. Let's go. We're ready for action. So start at the beginning, Sasha. Tell us what happened with this guy. Okay. I've got this guy named Marcus Online. Okay.

And so I've been like me. It's super attractive, like, called and like balled, all the stuff that I like. I'm really into tennis and he's really into tennis. So that was the one thing that I was like, okay. So we started talking or whatever, and he was, like, thinking of stuff that was kind of out the box. And so there was like a local festival. I don't know. I'm sure you got heard of the Dino Drunk Fest, right?

The what? Dino Drunk Fest. I want to go. Do you get drunk and roar like a Stegosaurus? You get drunk, but I'm like the drunk fest, but it's the drink fest where you get drunk. You feel me? You got it? No, but.

Have you been drinking this morning because I don't know if I'm following. Where do the Dino? coming to play. I'm a little hung over. I can't even lie. I'm a little hungover because I did go out last night. Anyway, it's like this festival where everybody wears like these inflatable T-Rex costumes, okay?

Oh, that's so fun. I love those. Yeah. I thought it was a little weird, but I was just like, you know what? I'm really attracted to him and let's do something different. But are you still attracted to a guy who shows up to your date in an inflatable T-Rex costume? She's for fun. She's also supposed to be in the T-Rex costume, too.

So it's... Who, could you share one so that it's like you're hanging out still? Oh, dang. That's a good idea. This is some hot Jurassic action that we're about to get into. So how did it go? So we go in, drinking in the outfits. And then, like, for some reason, they had a rock wall.

Now, imagine, like, beautiful costume is plastic. And you have, like, kind of, like, climb a wall. So, like, we're falling. It wasn't bad. Is it not hurt as bad when you land? Yeah. Depends on how much you've drunk, too. Did you do the Rockwall or is this just something you were amused by?

No, absolutely not. Oh, okay. But he did. He did. Oh, okay. And I was like, you know what? I've had enough of Dino World, like, you know, drastic fun. Yeah, let's go.

But good for you. You went out of your comfort zone for a whole hour, hour and a half. And it sounds like you had fun. Yeah, and you had a good time. I don't know if I had a good time, but I did it. Okay. Still proud of you. And you still liked them because you guys.

left together. Okay. He was like, well, do you want to go back to my place? And I'm like, yeah. Then he mentioned, like, having some more drinks in movies. Like, I needed more to drink, but whatever. I'm rolling with it. That's how I love.

It's so funny how your escape is like, let's just get out of here and like, go get drunk at your house. Yeah. Usually that's like the plan. Decisions like this is why the dinosaurs don't roam the earth. Okay. Okay. So that's how you end up back at Marcus's apartment. Okay.

Yes. Okay. So we go back. We're chilling more drinks. We end up watching movies. So like eventually after a while, I'm like, oh, shit. I didn't realize it was like 3 o'clock in the morning. I had to get up at 6 to go to work.

Oh, dang. Do you need to sleep at that point? No. You're not sober at work the next day. I can tell you that. So what do you do? So I ordered Uber. I rushed out.

So then the next day, get to work, realize, I'm like, I left my earrings. Oh. And they were like not just the ordinary earrings. They're like my diamond stud earrings. Oh. I mean, you were on a date, so you probably wore the good stuff. Oh, my God. I don't even have any good stuff.

So good for you. Yeah. Yeah, so I reached out to him and like, no reply. Oh, God. It's the worst, too, because you leave it actually on accident, and everyone assumes you're doing it so that the guy calls you again. And you're like, no, honestly. He made, honestly told his friends, like, guys, she purposely left her stuff here,

red flag. They're all probably telling him, dude, that's not a good sign. Do you guys talk to their friends about that? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Oh, they got some more than we do. No, it's more like, dude, she took my hoodie. This is working. So where are you at with Marcus now?

Well, after a while, I was like, okay, no, those are my earrings. I need those. So he didn't, he never replied back, and I just went back to his house. And I rang the doorbell and like, somebody else. And what? I rang the doorbell and somebody else answers the door. Guy or girl? It was a guy.

All right. And I was like, because no one was there the night before. And he never said, he'd never said, he'd think about a roommate. And I said, hey, you know, I'm looking for Marcus. I was here last night. I left my earrings and he had to text me back and they were like, I don't know what you're talking about.

What? What? What? Were they playing dumb? Was it a joke? I mean, if they were playing dumb, they were a really good actor because he was just like, I don't know what you talk about. Well, you have been drinking for like many, many hours in a dinosaur costume and after that too. So

what are you thinking? Like wrong door? Is that what you mean? Yeah, probably wrong with city even. Yeah. I was thinking that. But so, okay, now we're going to call. Marcus for you and try and help you get your earrings back. Do you want to date too? I mean, I'm open to it. I just kind of really want to know why did he like hurt me like that. Why does no one else want to know who the random guy in his house was?

We don't even know if that was his house. I think we all assume it's the wrong house, right? I don't know. We have a lot of questions to ask this guy once we get him on the phone. We're going to come back and try and get you your second date update right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. If you're just joining us for the second date update, we have two objectives today. The main objective, recovering some precious belongings. We're putting love on the back seat just for the beginning because we need to help Sasha get her earrings back.

Get her diamonds back, Jeff, okay, it's more than just earrings. Seriously. Jeff, it's so important. I didn't realize. Thank you, Alexa. But she left them at a guy named Marcus's apartment after they hung out all night. And the weird part was she texted him to get them back. He didn't respond to her.

So she actually physically went to his place the next day. And a different guy answered his door and said, I don't know, Marcus. Marcus doesn't live here. Do you think he moved out in the middle of the night? Is it possible you scared him completely out of his own building, Sasha? I doubt that. Like, we had a really good night. And I don't know why he wouldn't like, technically.

back. I'm like, did he sell them? Like, I don't know. It's weird that guys, like, I have no idea what you're talking about, too. Like, there's no, like, oh, I've seen that guy. Yeah. That's my neighbor. Right? She had said she was drinking a lot, so we don't even know if it was the right place that she went back to. Or the right person. She remembers his name. So many things. A lot of things to answer. So let's just call Marcus, if this actually is Marcus's number and see what he has to say. But here we go. Hello? Hey, we're looking for Marcus?

Who's calling? We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Pretty fun. Hey, good morning. You can tell by the tone of my co-host voice how fun we are. I'm the fun one. What's up, Marcus?

Hey, Marcus. Welcome to the show. We're so jovie. I did sound like you or when I said that. It's early. Okay. Marcus, are you there? Yeah, good morning, everyone.

Yeah. Good morning. Sorry to like barge in on your life like this, but we're doing something called a second date update. And we're trying to help. Wait, wait, wait, wait, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What are the station is this?

We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And we're trying to help out one of our listeners named Sasha that you actually went on a date with. Yeah. Sosa, Sasha, yeah. Yeah, drinking with dinoes, right? Yeah, that was crazy. Crazy. That's what we heard.

It was kind of a crazy night. Well, we also heard you went up a rock wall in a T-Rex costume. So I think crazy suits the event. Yeah. I was messed up that night here. We heard there were some positives and some also negatives from the date because Sasha said that she left her earrings at your apartment and texted you about it and you never responded. Yeah, she tried to pull one of those Cinderella acts on me. No, no, no, no, Marcus.

It was not a move. It was not like a ploy to get you to call her back. She honestly forgot them. But what did you call it a Cinderella act? Yeah, I'm sorry. Were you there? No, but I talked to her. I talked to her and I can tell that, like, okay, listen, if a woman leaves something at your house and it's all an act, it's not going to be her diamond earrings.

It's nothing she actually cares about it. Oh, that's a good point. It's something that she could totally toss. We don't know what they're real diamonds, though. Right, exactly. I don't have a diamond. I don't have a diamond detector. I don't know if they're real diamonds or not.

Nevertheless, I know she left them intentionally at my house. I know this. No, why would you know that? How do you know that? How do I know that? I can tell. Like, it happened to me before. Yeah.

Well, it's happened to all of us dudes, but imagine if it really is an accident, bro. Listen, she can have her earrings back. I don't want them. What the heck I need them for? Then why aren't you texting her back? The reason why I haven't texted her back because I don't want her showing up at my house like she did the other day. Oh, that is your house. Oh, what?

We, okay, she told us that she actually went back to get the earrings that, but somebody else answered the door. And he said you didn't live there. I didn't even know you. Exactly. That's my little younger brother. I gave him instructions on what to say, what to do when I'm not home. Who's playing games now? Why didn't I just give her the earrings?

Yes. Yeah, true. Listen, she just popped over my house on some shady shit. Like, she, it was just, listen, you didn't even get the text messages. You are. You think she's doing it on purpose just to try and, like, get back into your life and trying to get another date with you? Yeah. Yes.

And she would have gotten another date if she did not pull this stunt. Oh, no. Okay. It's not a stunt. It's like a bullet. It's not, though. Can anybody prove if it is or isn't?

Look, we don't really know what the intentions were behind it. The only thing we can do at this point is bring Sasha on the phone right now. It does not look at Jeff. I mean, I know it's not a great look. But the truth is, she's been secretly listening on the other line

waiting to talk to you. You got to use the word secret. Well, it wasn't open, so what else do you call it? are you there? Hey, Marcus. Oh, man, what are you pulling this now? Okay. You know, I would have really appreciated if you didn't have your little brother answer the

door and if you could have come to the door and give him my earrings yourself. Like, what kind of games are you playing? I think he would have appreciated if you had warned him that you were going to show up to his apartment. Jeff, he was going to catch your bad. How was he going to warn him? There's no response. Clearly, Marcus was scared of her.

Oh, God. This is so weird. He hung out with her until three in the last. the morning. You weren't that scared, Marcus. Come on. Listen, she was in the junk and stupor. The whole time, she was drunk. So were you. You're the one that fell off the rock wall, Marcus, okay? Are you, I guess a dino drink fest is where you take me on a first date.

You have the nerve and try to shake me right now? Really? I just need my earrings back. Can you just see my earrings back? I got you. I will give you your earrings back. But that's what I'll send it to you. I need an address to send these earrings to you. Are you trying to show up at her house, Marcus? Is that what I'm trying to do? No, I'm not trying to show up at her house either.

Wait, before we started, like, exchanging addresses with each other, Sasha, Marcus is accusing you of leaving the earrings there on purpose, trying to Cinderella him to meet, like, trying to make sure you meet up with him again. Right, that's shady. That's not what happened. You're saying no. No, I didn't leave on purpose, but I have done that before, like, five other times. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Marcus, you weren't even worth Cinderellaing. But you don't have done it. Yeah, I put her own earrings that night. Okay. Can you see, like, her perspective? I mean, it sounds like, Marcus,

maybe you have a little bit of bad experiences in the past. I was going to say, I was going to say trust issues. Yeah. Okay, sure. Listen, she just admitted that she left the earrings at other places, like at least about five different times. Oh, come on, Marcus. Don't be so righteous, all right?

You've done shady stuff before, too. We all have in the dating world. She's going to leave her earrings. The next thing you know, she's going to leave her children. How do we make that jump? Honestly, a girl did that to me before. She left her kids here. What?

Wait, really? Yes, we did it because she wanted to come back the next day to see me. Not to see her children to see Marcus again. I know. I'm actually thinking that's a pretty genius move. Little brother answers the phone. There's no children here. Yeah.

Well, Marcus, you've clearly got a little bit of PSD from your past experiences with women. So do those children. It sounds like Sasha did not do this on purpose. And you yourself said that you would have gone out with her had it not been for the text and the showing up to the apartment craziness. So what we would like to do before we start exchanging addresses is offer to send you guys out on a date that we would pay for. And then you can bring the earrings and give them back to her in person. And we're paying for it. Clean slate, no dino outfits.

Or heavy drinking, I think is a good idea for you too. Yeah. Absolutely. Will it be a chaperone? Okay, I think she said no. Yeah, well, your little brother can come along, if that's what you're asking. I don't want a second date with him. I'm sorry.

Oh, you're over right now, really? Yeah, I'm good. I just want my earrings. Okay. Would you please give her earrings, bro? Yeah, I think you're going to have to show up to his house and get him. She can have a little raggedy earring. She can have them.

They're not even real diamonds. I bet you. Oh, come on. That was below the belt, Marcus. Okay, we will pay to have them diamond tested for validity, and then we'll send them back over to Sasha's place. Maybe that could be our day. We all get together and we can check to see if the diamonds are real.

That's kind of romantic. I won't even waste my time with that. You guys, you know what? If you get the earrings, it's just to me directly because I don't want to see Dino Bro anymore, okay? No, okay. Well, no love connection, but at least, Sounds like we recovered the jewelry that she wanted.

We're almost like a pawn shop at this point. Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Experience Megan Maroney live on her only Canadian tour date. June 20th in Toronto.

Well, we just heard our own weird second date version of Cinderella there. But instead of a glass slipper, they were diamond earrings. Okay, she did not do it on purpose, and neither did Cinderella. And instead of ugly stepsisters, it was. Marcus's ugly little brother. Oh, yeah. Who said he was ugly? I mean, I don't know if he was ugly.

But he was willing to lie to Sasha and tell her Marcus didn't live there. And lies make you ugly on the inside, Alexis. That's just a loyal little brother move, Jeff, you know? I'm just mad there weren't little mice and birds like knitting in the middle of this second day. Yeah, it wasn't quite as romantic as the fairy tales ever were.
