In early 1988, federal agents raced to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York from Asia. I had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you never. Five, six white people pushed me in the car. Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. All you got to do is receive the package. Don't have to open it, just accept it. She was very upset, crying.

Once I saw the gun, I tried to take his hand, and I saw the flash of light. Listen to the Chinatown Stang on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts. Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and it's Saturday, which means for second date updates, it's a double the fun type of situation. We got two classics back to back. And we started this last week where we're kind of hosting one of our full hour episodes every Sunday. Yes. So tomorrow you're going to get a full hour episode on this feed, a little bit more. Maybe you're not ready for it.

I don't know. How did people feel last week about it, Alexis? We had a lot of comments. I mean, Evan plays L.A. said they finally switched from the second date update to the full show and it's way better only took me three years to do it there you go

we're actually funny all the time and then Ria said I didn't hate it but honestly I was just confused because the segments felt random and I didn't know what was going on most of the time which means you gotta keep listening to the full show exactly I can see that like if you're used to like an hour podcast where people just talk

nonstop about the same stuff for an hour this is very different this is an hour of our radio show it's a bunch of of different segments that are all smushed together. Pretty soon someone's going to go, I have an idea, you guys should play music in between the segments. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a radio show.

And then do it live. Hey, that would be even better. All right, all right. Well, tomorrow you're in for it, whether you like it or not, we get another flower. If you don't like it, just don't listen. And then come back Monday for your brand new second date update. Exactly.

Right now, it's the classics. Enjoy. If you're driving to work right now or to school or you're about to get out of the car and turn your race, radio off. I just ask one thing from you that at some point later today, you go to our podcasts at Brooke and Jeffrey and look under the second dates for the title Mexican cracation. Oh, okay. Because what you're going to hear is one of the most hilarious accidental situations ever that happened to one of our listeners while he was on a trip in

Mexico. Yeah, and it wasn't even tequila's fault. Well, no. Although tequila did play a role in what happened that day. So make sure you do. check it out for the lucky ones who are about to hear this live on the radio though get ready for your extra cray cray edition of a second date update it's coming up next second date update how come whenever i go on vacations i never meet anybody interesting or sexy or cool ever i think it's because you have to talk to people i do talk to people i don't know you're just like you're kind of like a quiet guy sometimes you know i'm a good listener yes Thank you, Brooke.

I just meet the weirdos like Dale, the severely sunburned pharmacist who's celebrating his third divorce. Oh, so you talk to the wrong people. Yeah, I just don't meet the right people. And then the guy makes me pay for all the drinks on the booze crews that were on. Wow. But that wasn't the case for one of our listeners, Drew, who says he went down to Mexico for a vacation recently and ended up meeting an awesome woman while he was there. Really? So let's talk to him about it.

Drew, how you doing, man? Good, how are you guys doing? Dude, I'm excited. Are we making an international call to Mexico? No, I'm back, but I was in Mexico, and I'm really confused. I need your help. Yeah, I know you're on the phone from here. I'm wondering about her.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, we call her in the next part of this. Actually, she's here, but, you know, trying to get in touch with her. Maybe you guys can help. Okay. Well, tell us how you met her. So, look, so I was in Mexico. I go with my family every year.

It's like this whole thing. Oh, it's a family trip. Yeah, and I had like 20 minutes to stare, and I'm by the pool. I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's not like your wife or kids, right? I just want to make sure when you say family trip. No, no, it's my aunt, uncles, you know. Okay. I didn't mean to interrupt, but that was important.

Yeah, no, it is important. Yeah, but no, so, yeah, I'm at the pool and I'm by myself at the bar, and all of a sudden, this, like, chick comes up to me, and her name is Chrissy, turns out. Apparently, we clicked. Yeah, Chrissy, like, from Threes Company. Okay. Oh. Oh.

Yeah. Do you have a more modern reference than that one? Because I don't think we know. I was thinking like Chrissy Teague and John Legend. You don't sound that old. Well, no, I'm not. But, hey, I like reruns. But, yeah.

So, anyway, I'm by the pool. And this Chrissy comes up to me, and we start talking. And apparently, we clicked right away because this old couple that was, like, swimming by us came up to us and asked this town. we were married. Oh. That's the universe. Man-of-Wing man.

Yeah. You know it's a good sign when a total stranger thinks that you have such good chemistry with someone. You must have been with them forever. Yeah, yeah. Or you're dating or something.

Yeah, and it was crazy. So we kind of just went with it. Oh, you pretended to be married to this old couple? Cute. No, not to the old couple. Me and Chrissy. Yeah.

Yeah. I understand. I feel like anything Brooke says. You're not really listening. The way you say words, Brooke, it's important. It's my fault. I feel like that makes sense.

It's totally broke. Who's not communicating right now? What is happening? Drew, I'm so sorry. I know you didn't pretend to marry the old. Well, the way you said it, that's what it sounded like. I meant like you pretended in front of the old people. To them, they thought you were married.

Yes. Okay. Yeah. I kind of fell in love with her. I spent five hours with her. What? Wait, kind of. Whoa, whoa, slow down.

Did you really fall in a lot? How much tequila were you drinking? That's a good. question. It's in Mexico. He went from me. But look, we hit it off. Turns out we're from the same area.

We know the same people. Whoa. Oh, no way. What? That is small world. Yeah, that's pretty wild. Yeah, and we were supposed to meet up the next day. And I haven't heard from her.

So you spent all day at the pool together. Did you guys go anywhere else besides the pool and the bar? No, five hours in the water. Just drinking and laughing and pretending we're married. Okay. Wait, were you supposed to be up with her at the resort again or back home? We were supposed to go walk on the beach in the morning, and then she texted me and she said that she had an early flight, which I understood.

Okay. But now that we're back, we're in the same area. Like, why isn't she getting back to me? I don't understand it. I mean, it's not really a date that you went on, though, right? So it's like, although you were flirting and you were doing the thing, like, I don't know. What more could you need from a date than, like, drinking and flirting and hanging out for five straight hours? What more would qualify as a date?

I don't know. Sometimes, like, when you're on vacation, you just think of, like, vacation zone and real-life zone, and then they don't overlap. There's, like, vacation boyfriends. Yeah, yeah. And, like, back to real life. Oh, sorry, I didn't know the rules. Vacation dating is different.

I need Alexis to say everything I'm trying to say, because nobody understands what I said. Thank you for translating, Alexis. So how long has it been since you've been back? It's been two weeks, and I checked her every other day. I don't want to be too hard. But, you know, like, we had such a good time. Okay, what are you sending her? Like, are you just saying, hey, what's up?

Are you sending her picks that you guys took together? Oh, no, we didn't take any picks. You were in the pool, but, yeah. Brooke, stop drying. Just give up. They have their phones on their date in the pool, Brooke. Always take picks at the pool when I'm on vacation. Ew.

What are you doing? I don't understand. Okay. But we're so weird. But we're going to come back. We're going to call your Mexican wife, Chrissy. Oh. And we're going to find out why she's not.

wanting to hang out now that you're back home together okay yeah by the way she's not mexican i just met her down there yeah we mean a mexican wife as in like she was located in mexico okay now i'm being the confusing why broke is trickling down all right we're this might be a train wreck when we do your second date update right after this hold on second date update a chance meeting had a pool in mexico yes a meeting that lasted for five wonderful hours where drinks were flowing, water was splashing, old people were admiring them as a great couple. It was just the perfect day for our listener, Drew.

And they were scheduled to meet up to go for a walk on the beach together the next morning. But Chrissy, the woman that he met, texted him saying she couldn't make it. She said she had a flight out. Why didn't she remember that when she was planning the walk? That's what I said. Very suspicious. But now that they're both back home, what's changed? Is she sobered up now and suddenly not into it anymore?

Is she back with her husband and can't see him without, you know, making things weird? It's actually not a bad question. We don't know, but we're going to attempt to find out when we call Chrissy here in just a second. First, Drew, how are we feeling? You're good. Are you? I thought you'd be more nervous because you dropped a lot of emotions when we were talking to you. I mean, you were saying after five hours, this is love.

You did use the L word. Well, I think it's going to work out. Okay. You're that optimistic. That's good. You're not nervous because you think the universe is going to set it all up. Maybe he's still having a little bit of tequila this morning and there's nothing wrong with that, Drew. We supported, okay.

Body shots all around. No comment from Dr. That's okay. He doesn't like me. Yeah, exactly. He's like, not I'm your body lady. We promise we're going to make sure Brooke talks as little as possible when we call Chrissy here. I'm promising nothing, Jeff.

Well, then we're doomed from the start. But here we go. Dialing Chrissy. Hello? Hey, is this Chrissy? This is. Or should you say, Ola?

Yeah, I guess we could say Ola. She isn't a Spanish name. I know, but it's already off to a bad start here. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Okay. Hi. Hi.

Hey, we do a segment on our show called the Second Date Update. and we're hoping that you would be a part of it. I mean, can you tell me more about it? Like, what's going on? Okay. Yeah, it's where we help our listeners who met somebody or who've gone on a date with someone they really like try and reconnect for another date.

And that happened recently with a guy named Drew down in Mexico. At least that's what we heard. Oh, yeah, Drew. Yeah. Yeah. He said he's been texting you for like the past two weeks and he hasn't heard much of anything back. He talked to you?

Yeah, we got a little bit of background about what happened that you guys met in a pool and you guys hung out there for five hours. He said it was a great time. Like, drinks were flowing. It just felt like you guys were clicking. You even pretended like you were married at one point. Anytime I feel like you're in a pool

and drinks are flowing, it's a good time. You always pretend you're married to someone when you get in a pool? No, that was the first time. I don't know, after we were in the pool for a while, like, you said, five hours we were there, but... That's a long time. Yeah. I mean, there's a long time.

We got to know each other. It was great. He's a great dude, but he's kind of a light weight because... A lightweight? Okay, not that. I have a drinking problem or anything. It's always good when you establish that first. I was drink for five hours straight and didn't feel a thing.

We were drinking tequila for five hours, and I was just ready to kill him. the party going, but Drew just was ready to end the night. Uh-oh. Well, yes. Do you pace yourself better than he does? Maybe. It doesn't matter. You're out in the sun.

It's hot. I'm sure you're dehydrated. Like, that's a long time. Anybody needs a nap after that. I totally get that. And I was headed to take a nap after I wanted to go get one more drink, you know. And I pulled up to the hotel bar. Okay.

And I met someone. Wait, what? Oh, there was another guy? Okay, for one, Drew and I were not hooking up that day. That was just a fun little thing in the pool. But then I really met somebody, and I feel like I connected with him. He was an older gentleman, and I was instantly attracted to him. He was my type, and he just, like, really seemed like he had his stuff together, you know.

Like, there was no red flag. Wow. You have really good luck with men in Mexico. What's this resort you're out? Alexis wasn't a name. Anybody on vacation in Mexico? that's amazing but wait are you still dating the guy

things were going so well that night that we continued them continued them here oh back home so you're still seeing yeah yes oh he's also around you by you yeah he's from around here and I just I really really liked

Drew he was a great guy had a lot of fun with him that day but I didn't know if he was like the type that I wanted to go out with again he was just somebody that I was hanging out with for the day and it was fun. Like I made a friend for the day. Look, that's totally fair and you're absolutely allowed to meet whoever you want. But here's an idea because since it's still early in your relationship with this other guy and you're just starting things off with this person. Sorry, I don't know what his name is. His name is Bruce actually. Okay. So why not continue

to go out and see Drew and Bruce? I mean, if you're honest with Bruce as well. Right. I mean, I could think about it, but balancing two men is. pretty hard. Brooke can show you. Wait a minute. He managed it that day. Hold on. You met somebody named Bruce there?

What? Sorry, Chrissy. I need to let you know that Drew's actually been on the other line listening this entire time. You're joking. No. No, that's how the segment works. Drew, what are you doing?

Like, why are you doing this to me? Oh. Well, I was wanting to know why you weren't getting in touch with me. But now I'm a little confused because there's not that many brusces out there. And you know that I was with my uncle's. and his name is Bruce. So, wait, what? That explains why they live so close, too.

That can't be. Drew, no, I'm sorry, what? Wait, what did Bruce look like? Can you please tell me because this is kind of important? He was an older gentleman, and he was pretty tall, probably like six foot, too, and he was wearing a really nice watch. He had a very nice beard. Are you kidding me?

Wait, that is my uncle. Oh, no. Oh, no. Drew, what? Yeah, I mean, I'm in shock. I thought we had a thing going. It makes sense why he's from here, too. I couldn't figure that out.

Oh, my God, Chrissy. So, wait, the uncle was an upgrade from our boy, don't break it down like that. I'm just saying. Remember with the math. Drew, Drew, listen, since I'll probably see you at family reunions, it's not. Wait, what? Wait, wait, you're jumping.

To that person is like, is that serious with this Uncle Bruce? Are we calling him Hunkle? Because he's like a hunky uncle. I mean, it's pretty good. It's pretty good. Let's not call him anything. Come on a hunkle. Just call him Bruce, okay?

Yeah. I'm sorry. My boo right now, but. Oh. You know he's a recovering alcoholic, right? What does that have to do in anything? It's not disparage our relatives on the radio. Yeah, that means that he's way more put together.

I can't believe my. My uncle didn't even tell them. I told them all about you and how we were going to go out. Oh, no way. He must have thought I was too good to be true, so he found me himself. Oh, wow. But we, hold on, why didn't you just answer me, though? I didn't know how to tell you that I was seeing somebody else and I don't really see two people at a time usually.

That's pretty straightforward. But she probably just feels too, like she didn't owe you much, you know? It's like, yeah. I mean, it sucks. I agree. She should have responded, but people go. Yeah, people ghost all the time. She called you.

friend for the day. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. She just had a different feeling. I really thought we had. I don't, whatever. You know what? Have fun with Bruce.

And, I mean, would you like to go out one more time, though? What? What? Well, sounds like he's still a little bit interested. So we should ask, Chrissy, would you like to go out with Bruce's nephew for a day? We'll pay for that day. Bring Bruce. I was going to say, I'm going to say.

I might have to check with Bruce if Drew's allowed out of the house past his bedtime. Oh, that's cool. Really not cool. Okay. No way, no. Yeah. True, man. I'm sorry, dude.

I don't think we're going to be able to get you a date here. I wouldn't go on vacation with your uncle ever again. That's for sure. I will. I will. I will. Oh, my God. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

No one can resist a rule of culture. So here's one for the dating files. Rule of culture number 72. Chemistry isn't just vibes, it's values. Because what's the point of matching with someone if you can't talk about the shows you binge, the books you dog ear, or all the hot takes, you'll defend it brunch?

I mean, you definitely have friends who have met their partners on Bumble, and it makes sense. It's not just about matching with someone. It's about finding someone who gets your references, your obsessions, your whole vibe. With shared interests and prompts, you don't just see a profile.

You get a glimpse of someone's personality, which makes it even easier to start conversations. that actually lead somewhere. Plus, with photo and ID verification, you can trust that the person you're talking to is real. With that added piece of mind, it's so much easier to show up as your full self. So whether your rule of culture is,

the best first dates start with the shared hot take on Renaissance, or compatibility as having the same hometown bodega order, download Bumble and turn those connections into something bigger. Download Bumble and start your love story. Hey, it's Ed Helms, and welcome back to Snafu, my podcast about history's greatest screw-ups. On our new season, we're bringing you a new snafu every single episode. 32 lost nuclear weapons.

Wait, stop? What? Yeah. Ernie Shackleton sounds like a solid 70s basketball player. Who still wore knee pads. Yes. It's going to be a whole lot of history, a whole lot of funny, and a whole lot of guests. The great Paul Shear made me feel good. I'm like, oh, wow.

Angela and Jenna, I am so psyched. You're here. What was that like for you to solve? launch into the show. Sorry, Jenna, I'll be asking the questions today. I forgot whose podcasts we were doing. Nick Kroll, I hope this story is good enough to get you to toss that sandwich. So let's see how it goes.

Listen to Season 4 of Snafu with Ed Helms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know I said it was going to be awkward for him at the holidays, but think about their next Mexico vacation because Drew said it's a family tradition where they go every year. Imagine Drew having to lay out on the beach and he has to watch Uncle Bruce with his hot young girlfriend while she rubs lotion all over uncle's back. There's only one answer to this, Jeffrey. And that's that Drew meets Chrissy's aunt. I mean, you can't fight fire without fire, right?

How did we not think of that during the call? Yeah. So I hope she's got a single aunt or at least an aunt that's willing. Yeah. Oh, we have to make that. happen. If anything, we have to get, well, I guess we don't get a second-day update, update with Drew, but I'd like to hear how Chrissy and the uncle turn out. Is that wrong? We should go to Mexico with them and see it all go down. We need to do a remote broadcast from a tropical

vacation place. Like, this will be perfect. Sounds like this resort. If we find out which one, it'll be perfect. We'll probably all end up with Uncle Bruce if we're not careful. But if you ever want to get a second date update for yourself, you can email us at Brooke and Jeffrey. We'll call that person who isn't calling you back. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's always good to make the ladies scream. Oh, yeah. Which is why all of Jose's dates happen at haunted houses.

Yep, it's the only way I got to scream. That was way more innocent that I thought. One of our listeners says he got it done a different way. When he rolled up to the parking lot, opened the trunk of his car, and his date couldn't help but start screaming. Oh, no. Now, was it good screaming, bad screaming, or one of those dry, emotionless screams? We're going to find out in a second date update. That's coming up right after this.

Second date update. Alexis, how do you feel about a guy bringing you a gift on a first date? Do you like a guy to have a present or do you require it? Well, I was going to say, it depends on what it is, you know? Like, I require something. But like, money's preferred. Don't show up, M.G. Okay, just cash exchange.

That takes the date to a different type of relationship. Whatever Alexis is into. Whatever have it, okay? You know side business, that's her thing. But I only ask because one of our listeners says he showed up to his first date with a special surprise for his lady. And it wasn't your stereotypical flowers with a box of plan B. That should not be it. I think the plan B is thoughtful.

I mean, it'll come in handy. Somebody. Alexis's mom didn't use it, and she came about. But you know what? Where's the romance, you guys? That is romantic. Being prepared is hot. Okay?

We're going to get to the gift specifically in a second, but first, Kyle is the one who emailed us. So welcome to the show, ma'am. Hey, guys. How you doing? Oh, man. God, we're giving you all sorts of ideas for your next date, Kyle. I don't want to know your gift, Kyle. Like, I'm scared.

I want to know. We do. But first, tell us about this lucky lady that you met. Where did you meet her? So we met online on, you know, one. one of the apps. Okay. And we clicked.

I thought she's really hot, and I hope she, I think she liked me. All right. What's her name, by the way? Did you even catch that in the profile, or who cares? Stop. Her name is Sarah. Sarah. Okay.

But what made, I mean, there's a lot of hot girls on the dating apps. Like, what made her stand out so much that you wanted to bring her a surprise gift? She matched back with him. What can brotherly, that's it? Oh. Is that it's that easy? Is that right? Well, you know, it is like a visual medium, so I mean, she was really pretty.

I'll just say it. She's really pretty. You wanted to buy her affection, I see. I don't know. Is that how it was? That you're making it seem like weird. I just asked him why she stood out. Nobody had an answer besides hot. Well, that's what dating is, Brooke. I want more. I want the romance part. Just go watch a 90s movie and get your jollies off there. Yeah. Brooke wants him to like bunk carts at the grocery store.

and then, like, have a whole dialogue. Most people have a connection. That's all I'm saying besides even... Not in the modern dating world. No, they don't. That is not true. We talked to so many... Okay, we're getting off track.

I'm not going to argue about this anymore. Kyle, I apologize. She has no idea how modern dating works. So tell us how did you and Sarah Bond? Well, so we started talking about TV shows. Okay. And I asked her what her favorite show was. She said she didn't own a TV.

Whoa. That's wild. I went through a phase like that. No, I get it no cable, but no TV. Yeah, but you have a computer. I know, the 1880s were a crazy time before electricity. I know. I just to drive a car with my feet.

No, honestly, like you're a single woman, you're living by yourself. Like, you just watch your shows on your laptop. You don't need the TV. Is that what it is? Well, her roommate had the TV, and she moved out, and so she just never got another one. Makes even more sense. Okay. She's using her laptop.

Yeah, okay. So that doesn't sound like a lot of bonding if you were talking about your favorite TV shows and she doesn't own a TV. That's true. It was our first conversation, you know, so on a whim, I bought her a TV. Whoa. Oh, that's awesome. Did you awkwardly carry it into a restaurant? I put it in my car.

I see. Oh, my God. For the record, TVs are not as expensive as they used to be. I bought people TVs before. How many inches? 43 inches. Oh, that's not even big. It was a nice TV.

It had Roku. Oh, wow. Smart TV. What a nice time. Something like something my parents would say. All right. And you said it was in the trunk of your car? Yeah, put it in my trunk.

So I took it to the date and I told her, hey, I've got a surprise for you. What? There's no way she was expecting that. That is wild. You did it in front of her. Wait, are we at the beginning of the date when you gave it to her or at the end? I pulled up and I showed her the TV. That is amazing.

That is so cool. We've never heard a TV. TV gift on the first day. Although I have heard of guys being like, hey, I have a surprise for you in the trunk of my car and then the story usually goes a totally different round. It's usually a shovel and some duct tape. But wait, what was her

reaction? Well, she was happy. She screamed. She was like, oh, this is amazing. Oh, wow. Way to set the tone. I feel it's better after it, because then you know if she actually likes you, but that's okay. You could have also said it would have been like we could either go back and try it out, Netflix, and chill,

or we can continue our date. Well, I actually installed it for her, too. Oh, you did go back to her place? Really? So, wait, did you guys go to dinner at all? Or was the TV the whole day at this point? No, I'm wondering. Yeah, we had dinner.

Oh, you did. Oh, God, that dinner, she must have been, like, so excited to go home and try out the new TV? I mean, I don't think girls are like that about TVs, but, you know. You're such TV nerds in you? You don't think she was excited? He said she was. I mean, with the Roku, probably. Yeah.

How did it go? Roku. I can't get over that. So, yeah, I brought it up to her apart. and I hung it up on the wall, and then, you know, we watched TV. And I spent the night on the couch, and she went to her room. Nothing happened, but... Okay.

She invited you to spend the night, right? Yeah, we were just watching TV, and she fell asleep. She went to go sleep in her bed. Okay. Well, that's good. You just took the couch on, and, you know... I know, but that's, like, a good comfort level. Like, you meet somebody on a first day, and you allow them not only to come to your house,

but to stay the night. That's good. That's a good sign that she trusts you. So what's happened since then? Well, so we hung out one other time, but it was, like, kind of short, and I don't know, I was just getting like a weird vibe from her. Please tell me you did not ask for the TV back after this all happened. We've definitely had gotten out on the show who've been hurt and they've asked for like, oh, well, now I want half of my bill back because she doesn't want to see me anymore. No, no, I'm not that petty.

I was thinking she'd say, oh, I had a computer, but my roommate took it. Oh, you know. Oh, she wants more. Yeah. I think she's just, you open the world of Netflix and shows. for her now. Yeah. She's busy.

She's catching up. She's got to make people over. Or she's just chilling by herself. Yeah, true. Well, we'll find out when we call her and see if she even picks up and takes a break from watching murders in the apartment or whatever. In the building. Murder's in the building. I didn't watch it.

So, but we'll find out what she's doing. That should be the sequel. But for now, we're focused on our second date update when we come back right after this. Second date update. I think all of us have imagined going on to a giant game show one day, winning and taking home an awesome prize, like a 43-inch smart TV with Roku. But a girl named Sarah didn't have to do all of that.

She just had to go on one date with our listener, Kyle, who gifted her a brand-new flat screen. Just because she mentioned she didn't have a TV. And she showed up. It wasn't even at the end. It's all because her roommate had taken her last one when she moved out, but after installing it for her and watching it together, she's been acting a little bit weird.

Those are Kyle's words, and he doesn't know why. They hung out a second time, but apparently it was so short that there's not even a description of the hangout. It was like it was that bad. I don't know what the reasoning is, but we're about to call Sarah here in a second, but Brooke, what are you thinking? What are your thoughts before we reach out to Sarah?

I don't know. Maybe it was just too much too quick, Because she's like, she didn't ask for the TV even though she was excited about it. I didn't think of that. Like, if you ask, it's different. Too big of a TV is what Brooks said. You should have gone like a 30-inch,

maybe one that had a VHS player in it or something. Or the opposite. She's like, it wasn't even a 4K. Oh, wow. But Kyle, we're going to try our best to do this for you, okay? All right. I really appreciate it. Yeah.

If she doesn't agree to another date, are you going to be regretful about the TV gift? Or do you have a backup gift just in case? That's a good idea. Do you guys have any, free giveaways or anything like that? Oh, we don't have a gift card at the end of this. Yeah, that's enough.

There you go, maybe that'll add. And if you want to thank us by giving us a TV in return, that's up to you. We're not going to pressure you, but most guests do. Give us something as a thank you gift. I have four TVs in my trunk right now just from the college last week. Not nice ones or else you would have installed them in your house. But still, whatever it is, it's up to you. Let's call Sarah and see if she picks up.

Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Sarah? Yes. My house is calling. Yes, you may. We're a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Not a TV show, a radio show.

Who? She's really into TV now, Jeff. Yeah. We're Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I'm Jeff. I'm sorry, who? Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. My name is Jeff.

That's the fourth time I've said it. She's not going to know. You don't know. We're a morning radio show. Hey, hold on. Do you want to know the name of our show? Because I have it. Can I help you? Sorry.

You hopefully can help us because we are doing a segment called a second date update. And trying to get some answers for one of our listeners that you met up with the other night for a hot date. Two hot dates. I've had several dates. I don't know who you're talking about. Oh. I think you'll remember once we say his name. Yeah, Kyle.

Oh, God. The TV guy? Wait, why is he? I don't say that. Why? Why? No. Because he likes you and he said that you're super pretty.

Why is your reaction that way? Because, oh my gosh. That sounds like you have a story and I am dying. Yeah. Would you mind sharing a little bit because Kyle is totally confused. He doesn't know why there hasn't been another hangout. Is he? Really?

Yeah. Well, he knows the last time you saw him. It didn't go well. He must be truly up to. Oh, my gosh. Aptuice? Yes. What you call it a triangle?

He's not a cute. A good one, Brooke. Could you explain a little bit because we're totally in the dark? Okay. Have y'all ever had somebody buy you a TV on a first date? No. Just like six or seven times, but yeah. Yeah, just everyone.

Not one with Roku. He thought you were excited about that. Were you not? I mean, it was thoughtful, but I didn't know that it was get right to come with all. these things. Okay, he's putting it up on the wall. Yeah. Okay. If you call, you want the story, you're about to get the story. Okay. Okay. I'm like

ready for the short. I'm sitting back at my seat. So, we're starting with he's putting the TV up on your wall. Yes, and while he's installing and everything, he's like, I'm really into sports. And I'm like, oh, okay, great, and everything. That's cool. Yeah. Okay. So after it's all set up, he kicks off his shoes

and turns on the game. The game? What game? Yeah, he turns on a back. It doesn't matter what game. Did he ask you if you wanted to watch it with him? No. No. Oh, no. That's bold.

Yeah. And so he's just watching a basketball game. And then he says, hey, can you get some snacks for it? No, he did not. Well, no, that is offensive. Maybe you need the full experience of what it's like to watch. He's doing the test run for you. He should be giving her the snacks then and putting her on.

But here, he should go home. He just feels comfortable with you. He feels like he's hanging out. He's trying to bond. Kept there one day? Yeah. How did he stay the night then? Because he said he slept on your couch.

Oh, right. Yeah, okay. So he's so geeked up. He was like, man, the resolution, like the picture. Oh, this was a perfect place on the wall. And he's still watching the game and everything. It's a late night game. And so I was like, well, I'm going to bed.

Wait, you didn't kick him out? No, that's why you went to bed. Maybe that's like the insinuation. Like, hey, I got to go. Time to, you know, story off. Yeah, why don't you hop with me? No. I don't think she wasn't that.

I think it meant like you leave. Maybe you just take the TV with you at this point. He didn't get the hint? No, he did not get the hint. Oh, God. And I wake up. He's gotten so comfortable. He's going to win to the kitchen, made him a bowl of cereal, and is watching a pickleball tournament.

At least he's independent. Why did you hang out with him again? Oh, my God. Yeah, he said there was a second hangout. That was what he said. Well, I guess the only time that I saw him was later on in the day when I got home from work. Wait.

He's bathed in my apartment all day. What? He was still there. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Can I jump in here? I don't know.

I think it'd probably be a good time. Can I just say something? Okay. So, Sarah, you should probably know that that's Kyle. He's been waiting on the other line wanting to talk to you. Oh, my gosh. Well, actually, he's probably in your apartment right now, calling from your couch in front of the TV. But, yeah.

Are you kidding me? He's on the... This is going way too far. Yeah Hold on Okay hold on He's installed Your TV up on the wall

For you So just let's give him A chance to explain himself I wouldn't do that He bought the TV And installed it No this is the problem

With the gifts Yep That's exactly the problem With the gifts Actually she owes him Nothing But But he may be a good

guy That you should hear out Okay That's totally different than what I said Yeah I got I got something to say All right

So I brought you dinner And I invited you to join me And I'm the bad guy Is that so bad? You brought pizza Knowing I don't eat that

So no You didn't consider me at all And the fact that you're in my house all day After I told you I'm going to bed I got to go to work You don't watch TV You don't eat pizza And I'm going to set it outside

Wait wait before this blows up any further And you guys arguing about He said she said What is the pizza about Yeah I thought you guys went to dinner I didn't think that you just brought pizza to her house No This is when he was still at my house

Okay. So this is the second night after you guys hung out the first time, and he brought dinner to? He stayed till it was evening the next day? What a romantic. No, my God. Providing a meal and entertainment. Jeffrey's being sarcastic. Dude, it's like an unwritten rule.

If you stay the night at somebody's house, you leave in the morning when they leave. Okay, but this was the second night. So what's the rule about the second night? Yeah. The rule is you bring pizza. No. That's a good man. The rule is that you leave.

G.O. when I said, I got to go to bed. Yeah. Guys, is it just me or she sounds ungrateful, right? I mean, I thought I'm on her TV. Oh, honey. Am I crazy? Yeah. It sounds like you bought yourself a TV, bro.

I have not heard of thank you one time from her. That's true. I haven't heard her to thank you. I haven't heard. She already thanked you when you gave it to her. She's not thanking me now. She's just complaining that I'm watching sports. Well, that's what you do with a TV.

Okay. Kyle, I need you to understand this. It's not your house. So I'm going to need you to come and get this TV, all right? If you want it, I'm putting it outside, but I am done with this. Oh, somebody's inviting you over. Oh, I think she said he... Yeah, that sounds like an invite.

You want pepperoni, you want cheese. He knows to bring pizza. And we are going to provide the gift card for that pizza. I think that TV is going to be on the corner, Kyle. It will be on the corner. He will not have any access to my apartment. Okay. So this is not.

Not as romantic. Maybe text the address of the corner in case one of us wants to swoop by. Oh. Alexis is in the market. It's a nice TV. There you go. You don't put like a free sign on or anything. I want to know when it's out there.

I'm going to come by and I'm going to get it. There better be like at least a $100 bill lying on the ground. Oh, that sounds like a no. I'm sorry, Kyle. But I guess we learned the lesson, never give a woman a gift on a first date ever. No, that's just be normal. You know what? If there's no middle ground, Jeffrey,

let's go with that. Finally, we agree on something. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We often think we know our type in dating. Tall, funny, a certain job, but the research shows we're usually not the best predictors of who will actually make us the happiest.

As we often say on the Happiness Lab, our minds lie to us about all kinds of stuff. And that definitely includes the kinds of things we need to be happy in a relationship. That's why it helps to stay curious. On Bumble, features like shared interests and prompts make it easy to notice right on someone's profile initial sparks of compatibility, like a shared love of cooking or the same nostalgic TV shows. Shared interests and prompts let you showcase your personality right on your profile, and connect with people who get your vibe.

And with photo and ID verification, you can feel confident the person you're talking to is real, so you can date with a bit more confidence. When you treat dating as exploration, instead of sticking to a rigid type, you open yourself up to happier, more meaningful connections. So maybe your type isn't tall, dark, and mysterious. Maybe it's loves podcast as much as you do. Stay open, stay curious, and let yourself be surprised. Download Bumble today.
