Yes. We truly do. We got back-to-back classics for you to enjoy. Just a little bit extra long episode on a Saturday. You can listen to it while being productive, doing nothing. We don't really know what you guys are up to when you're hearing that. Falling asleep. That seems to be the number one use of this podcast.

It really is. We're a sleep podcast. Although, I do have a comment from M. Brock. Yeah. Who said, listening whilst sitting at the hospital, doing my three-hour glucose test for gestational diabetes on a Saturday morning. Thanks for being here with me. Dude, that liquid you have to drink. I am so sorry.

Oh, no. It's kind of like. Oh, there's a liquid. Yeah, it's like melt. melted popsicles, but thicker and sweeter. Oh, wow. Okay, I'm tasting it right now at the hospital with you. It's not great, but, you know, stay with it.

And hey, good luck on the pregnancy. That's so exciting. Thanks for being with us. Your back-to-back classic, start right now. It can be hard to recap an entire first date in just a sentence or two. Wow. Yeah. But today we spoke with a listener whose whole night could be summed up by the little

drawing he attempted to make on a cocktail napkin. Oh, that's kind of cute. Well, it would be, but the drawing did not go the way he planned. Oh, dang. And neither did the rest of his night. Oh, goodness. You're going to understand why when you hear what he was attempting to doodle for her in a brand new second date update coming up right after this.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. I feel good that we're like an adoptive home for lonely single men and women until they eventually find their permanent homes and leave the nest. We just foster then. Yeah. And the loveless stray that we're bringing in today,

his name is Luke. Again, for a second time, because Luke has actually been on the show before. Oh, we've had a lot of return people lately. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's why we're the safe place. Strays just always come back. We're like a pigeon.

You just keep coming around. Last time Luke was on, he was irritating a young woman by posting a photo of them together onto his Instagram, but didn't ask her permission to post it first. Oh, she liked it. It is the one where she didn't like her look because he didn't use a filter. Exactly.

So like I said, lessons have been learned. Luke, do you know better now? Pictures are a no-no. Only post videos of them without permission. All of it's fine if you use the right filter. Don't you remember that whole segment? He's not with her now, so he's got to delete the photo. Yeah, that's true.

Or you leave it up to me. Luke, you're in a better place, though, now? Leave it up. Yeah, I am, I am better now. I, I didn't think it was good. I think of a deal, but I am not going to make damage to her. Okay.

That's good. That's really how those guys get in trouble. I love when you say you're better, but you're back with us. Well, it's good because apparently there's a new woman, a better woman that we're trying to track down for you. Tell us about her. So, her name is Lisa. I met her on Tinder.

Okay. And lately, I've been trying a new strategy. Okay. I try and let the person know who I am. I mean, because if they know who I am, then it'll be a lot harder to ghost me. At least I would think. Be harder to ghost you? Wait, hold on.

What do you mean? Know who I am. He just means as a person. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Not do that? That's also a good point. I mean, because you know how, like, first days are.

They want to know, like, what's your job? What do you do for a living? You're trying to not keep it so surface. You're diving a little bit deeper early on into the day. Yeah. That's good. The essence of who you are as a person. Yeah.

So how did you accomplish that with Lisa? Well, one of the things that I like anybody that I'm dating to know is that I used to be in a band. Cool. That's a cool thing. Yeah. I mean, I try and do like a funny lead-up into the date and give them hints about my musical talents. Give them hints. You don't just tell them straight out that I was in a band?

Excuse me, can we get a low for brand? Sorry about that. Wow, you're so skilled. Were you in a band? I know. Oh, see, isn't that sexy? Why would you just not tell her? Yeah.

I mean, that's not really fun. I mean, there's no mystery behind it. Okay. It's so annoying that when someone's dropping hints for you to obviously ask them, you know? I don't know. How do you drop a hint? What's your tactic? Okay, so what I did at dinner when I was with her was that I drew a picture of a microphone on a napkin.

Oh. Okay. Okay. You were doodling or you were like, Let me drop it. You know how she's talking to you? Oh, yeah, that could be rude. It wasn't like I was completely ignoring her.

I mean, you know, I can walk and chew them at the same time. Okay, did she know it was a microphone? Did she pick up on your hint? Um, she didn't really say anything. She just kind of gave me a look. I mean, the shape of that is not good. I was just thinking that, bro. Yeah.

It's a shape that can be mistaken. I tried to put, like, dots on the top of it to show it was a microphone. Okay. She's not getting now. You never clarified. No, I didn't want to blow the surprise, honestly. Oh, yeah. Because you still want her to guess.

It's a night-long game of charades. She doesn't know she's playing. Pictionary, Jeff. Pictionary, you're right. What happened next? Then later on, I did, I played something for her on the jukebox, a little McLemore. I'm going to pop some tags.

Hey, that's a fun song. Thrift shop. I don't want to hear that song about that. How is that a hint that you're in a band? Well, I thought it would be, but I just kept telling her. Do you like this? Do you like that? Oh, man.

Okay. Oh, no. So maybe she thinks you're just kind of random because your attempts at giving her hands were bad. You're not even currently in the band, right? Oh, that's right. This is an old story. But it's the essence of who he is from his youth. Don't listen to them, Luke.

What happened next? Okay, well, we finished our drinks, and I was like, I have to take you somewhere for dinner. Do you trust me? Oh, God. Okay. Out of that drawing, I'm going to guess she said no. What did she say? She said no.

Yeah. She got in my car anyway. Okay. Someone needs to teach her. That's not. It does sound like an Alexis move where you just want to make people say no. Maybe she's being playful. Where'd you go for dinner?

I drove it to my place. And, you know, I had dinner there waiting. I also had my karaoke set up. Oh, this is where she's going to find out. Oh, this is another hint. You're going to karaoke just the two of you in Europe. Hey, that sounds fun, Brooke. Leave him alone.

So I wound up seeing the Macklemore song to her while she ate. The visual. Why are we even calling her? Yeah, bro. This is a train wreck. Oh, buddy. Okay. I mean, maybe she liked it.

Okay, okay. We're teasing you a lot. But maybe she liked it. She did clap after the song. Oh, that's good. She did like it. She found out you were in a band? Play more McClmore.

Okay, good question. Did that come up? Oh, yeah. No. After all that. When I was driving her home, I did try one more at hand, and so I did try and play another surprise song, which was Macklemore again.

Wait. Was it thrift shop again or a different song? I mean, I really like thrift shop. It was the real. Okay. Hey, you know what, though? If this works out, that's your song as a couple. That's it.

That's your wedding song. That's everything. Okay. Did you end with a hug, a kiss, anything like that? Um, a hug. Did she mention anything about seeing you again? You did not. Okay.

I'm curious. You're curious. Okay. Have you hit her up at all? I think we all are. So, Luke, you've been on with us before. You know how this works. We're going to call her and ask why she doesn't appreciate a brave, courageous man who's willing to just be himself

and give her a live musical performance during day. I mean, we could talk to her or we could just play McLemore for it for four minutes and see what her response is. I do have a thought about what music to bump in with when we come back. I don't want to spoil which one it's going to be, though. Nobody guess. I'm not guessing. Okay. We're going to come back and do it with your second date update right after we pop some tags.

I already hooded about stuff. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. I pulled Thrift Shop the knockoff carry. karaoke version off the internet for this, because I picture this is what Luke sang to his date, Lisa, while she ate dinner at his place.

Dude, I can't believe we haven't asked for a sample from Luke. Yeah. Of his skills, you know? Well, I think that's reserved for his romantic serenades. Got it. I don't want to confuse that. That all really happened. But, Luke, we never asked you, did you dance for her while you sang?

Oh, I'm sure Luke has choreography, don't you, Luke? I said, like, from left to right, side to side. Wow. This way. I got it. Okay. Now, the whole point of doing all of this, this fun, mystery, creative date that you set up was to let Lisa know that you used to be in a band so that she could get to know the real you. You forgot to actually tell her that.

So my question. We didn't forget. We just never got there. And then never came up. So my question now is, if we do get Lisa on the line, do you want us to tell her that information or should we save it for you? No, I think I still want to tell her I think that was the whole point I probably should just follow through.

I'm still confused how the knowledge of you previously being in a band really opens up who you are. It just sounds like maybe you think that that's what chicks like. Well, don't they? It is true. I mean, Alexis, a guy who's formally in a band, come on. I'm imagining him performing in his garage for his mom.

That's the first thought. Wow. You're not far off. Oh. Every girl starts somewhere, right? All right. Ends because he's again. Oh, that's right.

Okay. Well, if Lisa says no, then Alexis is on deck. But let's call Lisa first. Here we go. Hey, is this Lisa? Yeah. Hey, Lisa. We're a radio show.

We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Sorry to interrupt your day. Okay. What's this about? Great question. Yeah, it's about a thing that we do called a second date up. date. Uh-huh.

And we also play music. Oh, no. Big lovers of music. We take requests if you have any. Let's do a shoutout on the radio right now. Uh, no. No. Oh.

Okay. We call you for shout-out. That's fine. Yeah. That's fine. But back to the second date update thing that we do. Not sure if you're familiar, but you went out with one of our listeners recently, a friend of the show, actually.

one of our more talented friends named Luke. Okay. All right. Sounds like it was a pretty memorable night with Luke, right? Um, well, what did he tell you? Uh, about the date? It was, I mean...

Full of surprises. Lots of surprises. Lots of fun. There was drinks. You went back to his place. He had dinner ready for you and then even performed a song live, which we all thought most guys would never go through. through with all of that for just a first date, we were pretty impressed.

We're wondering... So he didn't tell you anything else. I mean... Well, it felt like a lot. He did tell us that like going back to his place was a surprise. Yeah. I don't know how that felt to you. Yeah.

Normally, normally I was not... Right. Right. But you did go back with him and got in his car because I think you probably got the same vibe that we got speaking to him that he's a good dude. And he sounds like he went through a lot of trouble to make this. date really fun and different. Well, truth be told, I was very hungry.

Oh, you're hungry. Well, you know, I get it. Sometimes I make poor decisions when I'm hungry. You're like, ah, safety, but. Well, he had food ready for you. That must be nice. Yeah, was it a good dinner that he made? His parents were there.

Oh. No way. At his place? That's why dinner was ready. He didn't cook. I'm going to guess it's not his place, Jeff. Oh. Well, okay.

Wait, he took you back to his parents' house? Is that what you're saying? I'm guessing that was his parents' house. Here's the thing. I was eating. His parents were not eating. Oh, what? So you're sitting at the table with all of them?

No. It was set up like a kid had set it up to perform in front of his parents. Like a living room contest? I'm not going to say this is what I was imagining, but it was. How did you know? There. Wow. He left that detail out.

We did not get any information about his mom and dad. Yeah. Big important. Very important. Okay. Well, personally, I would have felt more safe having his parents there. They're like the chaperones of your date to make sure everything goes well. Yeah, that way, if he wants a drink too, right?

Yeah. Someone's got to drive you back. Oh, that's a good point. I did not feel that way. I felt like it was super weird. Well, look, I get it. For some people, I understand parents on a date, that's a red flag. For others, it's not, well, some people, it's not a big deal.

And that might be where Luke stands and we should probably ask him about it because he is on the other line right now waiting to talk to you, Lisa. She says. Shocking, right? Luke, you there? Yeah. Hey, Lisa. Dude. Hi.

For the record, it is my place. It's just that because we were already out, I asked my parents to make dinner and have it ready. No. So how else was I going to make sure that everything was ready for you? Okay. If you live with your parents, that's okay. You don't have to lie. I didn't lie.

They have a key to my place and they come over and make dinner all the time. Oh, that's nice. Then they sat and hung out while you performed. Yeah. Why didn't you kick them out? Still, this isn't a bad thing, Lisa. This is a guy who has a very good relationship with his mom. and dad.

No. Well, I'm sorry. Okay, tell me this. Did you or did you not clap after his performance? His parents clapped louder. His parents clapped. Well, okay. As they start.

Everyone kind of asked him. Why did you not tell us all of this part? It would have helped us if we had known your parents were there. Yeah, that's true. Well, I kind of folded up like a performance restaurant, how to say that. They were just there to help. Okay. You're at your home with your parents playing.

restaurant. Yeah. Yeah. At least they didn't play doctor. Yeah. Oh, God. Luke. He's got a fun, youthful spirit

to him, and that can't be broken. I think the thing is you are a really nice guy. I think maybe you just need to be more up front with people. Uh, okay.

Lisa, did you not like Maclemore? Ah. Straightful. Matthew, is not the issue. The whole date was the issue.

That was weird. I think anybody would would think that that whole situation was weird. When I was singing, did I have the music up a little bit too loud? You know, because I wanted to, like, you know, really apply for energy. Good question. Oh, my gosh. You're not listening to it.

I'm saying at all. It wasn't that. He's like, you might need to be more specific. Oh, my parents' dinner was pretty bad. My mom makes some of my name food. Okay. Maybe it was just an off night for the cooking. The mom's ruined everything.

Not a natural didn't hit like it was supposed to. We could tell her to try again. Luke, I think that you need to learn what self-awareness is. That's a big. That's a good thing. I don't know on that Macromor's song, so maybe he should go get up. I'm going to be somewhere. I'm going to pop some pay.

Hey, that's a lot of that voice. So enthusiastic. Okay. Is that the only song he knows? I don't know. It's most romantic one. I like that part. Yeah.

Bottom line, Lisa, we all agree Luke's a good guy. His tactics are a little unconventional, but that's just what makes him so unique and special. Yeah, his intentions are pure. And clearly his parents would approve of going out with you again. We all approve of it. It's just up to you. We would pay for another date if you say yes. Listen, you can be a nice guy and still be a weirdo and a nut so that, no, I do not want to go out again.

Oh, man, not a weirdo and a nutsoe. No, that was a little too harsh fias, man. What if I play a different McLemore song? I'm sure that there's another lady who appreciates McElmore and your musical talents. Yeah. And you'll meet her soon, okay? I'm sure the text word's going to fill up, brother. Yeah.

Already just text flooding in. Read one, Brooke. Yeah. There's so many. Yeah, I just can't choose. It keeps refreshing. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. New year, new goals, and in this economy, a better money plan is more necessary.

No. He was, I'm sorry, Luke was a good guy who puts effort into his dates, wants ladies to get to know the real him. Yeah, but Jeff, he doesn't. Like, all he wants ladies to know is that he was used to be in a band.

Like, he wasn't honest about anything about his life. That's who he is. Dishonest? I don't hate on him for his truth. There was no truth. I don't care how long I have to wait by the text board for a woman to text in that actually is willing to appreciate. him, but how hard can this be? He checks all of the boxes.

He's close with his parents. He does napkin art. He used to be in a band. Nobody has those boxes, though. He likes rap music by white guys. Yeah. Somebody out there has to. Are we calling that rap music?

Something, rap adjacent. Don't you speak of Macklemore on way? Come on, ladies. Go out with Luke. Give him a chance to show him the real you. Yeah. They'll show you something. Or just let him sing for you.

Go check out all of ours wherever you get your podcast at Brooke and Jeffrey. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. When you think of the world's hardest working, most thankless jobs, you might think sanitation workers. 911 dispatchers.

Alexis's hairstylist. Oh, my gosh. How selfless. She cries to me all the time after she sees Alexis. It's not that tip. Can we add airline public relations to that list? Oh, my God. That's got to be tough.

It seems like every week there's a new horse story that these poor people are having to spin. Like, no, we promise our flight crew cares deeply about the passengers. They only punch that one in the throat out of concern for their safety. Sure. And just when you thought nothing good happened on airplanes this year, one of our listeners came through. Oh, right. And his story about how he met a woman on his flight might inspire everybody listening that love really can happen when you least expect it. Oh, that's so cute.

No throat punches whatsoever. It's so sweet. It's coming up in your second date update next. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. I always thought meeting someone on an airplane was so 2014. Oh, my God. You literally just rolled your eyes.

So, 10 years ago. Why? Why? Why? But we've actually had a couple people reach out saying that it's happened to them recently. Yeah, I always think it's amazing. Now, one guy we couldn't use because he was like, hey, you want my peanuts? And turns out he wasn't talking about his in-flight snack.

That was something else. We have pretzels now, Jeff. So while that situation is in court, we're going to try a different one with a new guy named Brad. Well, let's talk to him. Brad, you didn't leave any of your snack mix on her in the middle of the flight, did you? I hope not. No, I don't think so, guys.

Let's be more sure of ourselves, Brad, okay? I think you know, Brad. Let's start from the very beginning, Brad. Who is this woman that you met? Her name is Tiffany. She's this awesome girl. I'll be honest to you guys. I just recently got out of a relationship. I wasn't really even looking for anything.

Oh, I say that's what it always happens. right? I was looking for anything. You know, I'm just sitting down on my flight, getting ready to go back home and see the family and everything. And this hot girl walks on the plane. And you guys know when you see somebody attractive walking their plane, you're always like, oh, please sit next to me, sit next to me.

If there's an empty seat. Oh, and they're walking down the aisle to board the plane. I know, me too. I'm like, stay away. Open mouth sleeping for three hours. I hope you're not next to me. The attractive one never sits next to me except for this one time. Yeah.

Nice. All right. Oh, man. When she was, like, putting her stuff in the overhead, were you getting nervous? A little bit. And then also, what it got me a little bit more nervous was when she did sit down, like, I had the aisle seat. She had the window seat. So now I'm holding my breath that nobody's coming over to sit in the middle.

Or you just ask really chivalrous. You're like, you know what? You have the aisle. I'll take this middle one and just sacrifice to sit next to her. People would be so happy. Yeah. Oh, my gosh, of course take the middle. I never thought of that.

That was my plan the whole time. Every time somebody walked in, I was like, you, excuse me to give them to sit in the aisle and I sit in the middle. You don't need one. That's amazing. So did somebody come? No, that's the best part. So the doors closed, nobody came,

one of the seat right between us. Oh, man. Take off for love. I mean, how did you strike up a conversation? Was it pretty immediate? Yeah, it was just, you know, I helped her. I tried to help her with her bags. And then I asked her, I was like, look, do you want the aisle seat?

I can switch. You know, just anything. Anything I can say just to start a conversation. Wow. Okay. Okay. How did the flight go? It went great.

We were talking. Oh, you were. He had like this cute little, like, when I made her laugh, like, hard, she would uncontrollably snort for a second. And, of course, she'd apologize. That's cute. Aw. When somebody else snorts when they laugh, it's cute.

I see. I'm definitely feeling this girl. I'm thinking she's feeling me. Like, the vibes are great. The conversation's going great. And look, it was a, you know, she's going back to see her family going back to see mine. But it was a long flight. We were both.

kind of tired, what have you, and conversation kind of died down. I ended up watching this show on my phone, and then knocked out and fell asleep for the rest of the flight. I think that's okay, you know? Yeah, that happens. She weren't too clingy. So, I don't know. I mean, I'm hoping I didn't drool. I'm hoping I had to fart

in my sleep. Oh. You're an ugly sleeper, possibly? Is that a common thing for you? Do you know? I don't know. Like, at home, I don't think so, but I mean, you never know when you're sleeping on a plane and you have to, like, sit in uncomfortable positions, and you don't know. Yeah, yeah.

So at what point during this flight did you get her number? Before I fell asleep, so before I fell asleep, I got her number. She gave it to you. We were kind of making plans like those new restaurant back home and we were going to try it out. And again, everything seemed super enthusiastic. We seemed to be feeling each other. I knocked out on the plane, which I'm kicking myself. I should have just kept talking to her or figure something out instead of watching a show and falling asleep.

I don't know. I think that's okay. Yeah, I think if you were sleeping. Didn't you wake up? Wait, see her again? I mean. She's just gone. I slept all the way until we landed.

So I had like 10 extra minutes. So like nice to meet you. You know, I'll see you later. I'll give you a call. What have you? And kind of just went our separate ways. Okay. Alexis, hearing the entire day, what are you thinking?

Do you think something happened when he was sleeping? Oh, I don't know. Could have been an ugly sleeper. I mean, would that be a turn off to you? If your mouth's open and you're like making noises on the play, I mean, it is kind of a look into the future of your relationship with somebody. You're snoring next to you, the whole play. Sadly, still not a deal breaker for me.

Not for you? You're alive. So what's going on with you guys now? Now I'm texting and she is responding, but it's not like with the same enthusiasm as original. Okay. I'm trying to hammer down this day and it's like for her something keeps coming up or he doesn't quite respond in time and it's like, you can take a breath, buddy.

You sound like you're really, really wound up in there. You should just go back to sleep now. He needs to lower the oxygen mask. Yeah. So how long has it been since this flight happened? It's been about like a week and a half. I mean, not too long, but we should have seen each other by now. You're trying to keep the momentum that you had on that flight going before it fizzles out, it sounds like.

Exactly. Got to strike while iron's hot. Okay. I think it's lukewarm right now, but we're going to still strike. All right. Let's get the hot water going or whatever you do. It's an iron. Okay.

Let's put it up fire. Let's poke at the fire. Let's get smelter. I don't deal with irons, bro. Anyway, we're going to come back. We're going to try and get you. second date update with Tiffany right after this, okay? Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. Hold on, man.

Broken Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. Two people meet on a flight. They exchange laughter, phone numbers, and then everything goes dark. Whoa. Wait, what?

I'm not talking about the first episode of Lost. I'm talking about Brad. Oh, hey, Brad. Who fell asleep on his flight after meeting Tiffany. Okay. The last was a rom-com. Yeah, they were hitting it off before his 3,000-mile-high snooze fest. But after he woke up, he just hasn't been able to keep that momentum going.

Now, Alexis thinks it's because he's an ugly sleeper with a bad credit score. I don't think she's sick. Okay. Maybe she did. Yeah, we all knew what she was thinking. Yeah, yeah, I got you. But the bottom line is he's willing to do whatever it takes in order to see her again in person, even reach out to. us for help. So good on, Brad, for going the extra mile.

Like a mile, like. Oh, like airline miles. Yeah. Got it. I didn't even think of that. Wow. I'm more clever than I even realized. Are you our platinum member today? No, don't bring up members. I don't want to hear Jose talk about it. Yeah. I was going to say. How we feel? Anxious. I don't know. I guess I'll find out one way or another. As long as we're not sleepy before we head into this call, then I think we're going to be golden, all right? hopefully yeah can you imagine he falls asleep in the middle of the call too yeah but that look on us more than anything but here we go we're about to call are you ready to do this

yes sir here we go i'm going to dial her number right now hey is this tiffany yes hey tiffany and this might be weird but you're on the radio right now with brook and geoffrey in the morning hey tiffany hi welcome to the show sorry that's weird that's not weird very strange um but okay oh good We are strange. We got over it pretty quick. We're proud of it. We're doing a segment on our show.

It's also a weird segment. It's called Second Date Update, where we try and help our listeners. Don't laugh. Try to help our listeners go out on another date after they had a nice experience with someone. Sometimes 3,000 miles, 300,000, 30,000 miles in the air. I mean, they're not in space, Jeff. How high do you fly a plane at? You met somebody on a flight, Tiffany.

Oh, my goodness. What is happening? A lack of oxygen in our studio right now. It hasn't been pressurized. Look, we're calling on behalf of one of our listeners who's been trying to get a hold of you. His name is Brad. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Is that a good okay, Tiffany? Is it ever, Brooke? Just one time, maybe. We were hoping for a positive answer. Well, we figured since you're not calling him back or you're being kind of slow with your responses, we just wanted to figure out what's going on because Brad is a little bit confused. He felt like you had a good connection on the plane.

Yeah, he was hopeful that something would come of it. All right. Yes. Okay. So yes, you had a good connection with him too? Yeah, I mean, to start with, yeah, we had a really nice conversation, which. I fly a lot and that doesn't often happen. So it was really nice to have somebody who was, you know, funny and animated and

seemed interested and stuff. So that was, that was nice. Good. Sometimes when you meet someone on a plane, you have to act like you're enjoying their company and you're not. So it's good that you really did like his, you know, his attention. And can I ask, like, when you got to your seat and you saw him sitting there, were you like, ooh?

I mean, he's, yeah, he's cute. Okay. I mean, like I said, I fly all the time, so I wasn't like looking for anything like this or thinking about it. So you have this, you know, cute guy on the plane that you admit you had a good connection with that was very rare for you. What made everything changed? I mean, look, I just, he has obvious things happening that I just really, I don't like drama. And I don't really want to get involved with whatever is happening with him. What kind of drama?

We didn't hear anything about that. I mean, do you really want to know what happened? No, not really. No, Jeff. Yes. He's just the primis out of people. I mean, he does because he does not remember any drama from your guys' meeting on the plane. It was great.

Then he fell asleep and that was it. Yeah, he wouldn't. He wouldn't remember what was happening because he was. He was asleep during. Oh, wait. Oh, it was while he was asleep. How could drama happen? He was breathing so loud, I told you.

Alexis is a loud, open mouth. Was he an ugly sleeper? No. Or a sleepwalker? No, no, no. He slept, walked the whole plane. That would be amazing. So he falls asleep.

He'd been watching something on his phone. So his phone kind of drops, you know, like between us a little bit. And then I realize his phone is like just blowing up, just nonstop. Oh, like, like, text. He's getting texts or what is, okay. Yeah, yeah. He's just getting tons of texts. And so I just.

sort of glanced at like just to sort of make sure it wasn't like some sort of a family emergency or something now that there's so much you can do when you're on a plane but come on you weren't worried about that you're just curious it's okay you can be honest to me i'm sure i'm sure it was a little of both but so then i could see obviously it's some girl who is um just being very aggressive and texting like nonstop and it was you know all caps and there was I mean, I don't know what was happening, but clearly there's some drama going on with some girl, and that's not something I want to get involved with. You don't even know. It could have been his sister. It could have been a cousin. I mean, I don't know for sure, but it is definitely, I mean, if you saw the text, you would have thought the same thing as me.

Do you remember what any of us? Let's find out for sure right now, because you don't know this yet, Tiffany, but Brad is actually on the other line right now listening. Oh, my God. He's not dramatic at all. No, he wants to just jump in on this conversation, I'm guessing. Yeah, he's just sleeping. Braddy, you there? Yeah, I'm here.

Hi, Tiffany. How are you doing? Very cool, calm and collected. So do you work out all your drama with your other women? Okay. I do not. I'm not a fan of drama either, but there were some loose ends. I had to kind of tie up and it's done.

Like, I don't have to worry about it. Wait. Wait. Wait. Hold on. Hold on. Look, we always assume that everybody who emails into the show to ask for second dates is single. Exactly.

Are you not? Like, maybe you're dating multiple women right now. And if you, like, if you are, that's okay. But can you confirm that you're single? I am 100% single. And by the time the plane landed, I was 100% single as well. So wait. So, like, just based on meeting somebody on a plane, you were, like, breaking up with somebody.

It's like for somebody that you had never even really. met before. Is that what we're saying? Okay, I don't want to sound like a creeper. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I didn't break up with her because of somebody that's not in the plane. I'm just, look, her and I, her and I, we had issues. It wasn't going to go anywhere anyway. I was just trying to find, I guess, the motivation or. Okay. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, was she your ex when you boarded the plane or was she your ex when you got off the plane? Yes. Thank you.

Emotionally, yes. Don't someone be attacked on a plane? People say, oh, we've been emotionally broken up for a year. It's not cheating, right? No, no. And he doesn't like drama? Are you kidding? That is drama.

And then you fell asleep in the middle of dumping her? I hate you. No, fuck to me and get a cake and die. He's like left her on red? He was tired from flirting so hard with Tiffany right before that. It takes a lot of energy out of you to break up with somebody. How long was this relationship? It was six months.

There wasn't a whole lot. long enough. That's on the line. That's enough to, like, form quite the attachment on her. I mean, I don't know this girl, but clearly on her side, it meant a lot, and that clearly hurt her. And it's pretty cheap to, like, text somebody when they physically cannot call you back because you're on a plane. I would never trust somebody who did that. Wait, he didn't cheat. I mean, honestly, like, okay, pretty low that he would text her and just break up with her that way. But he didn't cheat. Like, he will dump you before he cheats on you.

Yeah. He didn't sure things were clean. I mean, Brooke, you don't know 100% what they did on that plane, so let's not jump to conclusions here. He fell asleep. I didn't see. I didn't have two women at one time. It was like a connecting flight. I went from one flight to the other plane.

He just had a layover. This is a layover. Very tight connection. Don't say layover. Bottom line, Tiffany, Brad is a romantic, and he saw something that he liked when he boarded on the plane and he went for it. Yes.

And he's continuing to go. for it by going through us. That's why we're going to offer to send you guys out on another date. On a date. Your first date, I guess, technically. And we would pay for it. Well, how lovely of you, but no, thank you. I had nothing to do with you sleeping.

And that will be the last time I see you sleeping. So thank you. Quick, Brad, text her a picture of you closing your eyes. Yeah, that'll go on. Gotcha. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. New year, new goals and in this economy, a better money plan is more necessary than ever. I am Matt and I'm

Apple Podcast or whatever you get your podcast. Maybe my favorite line of that entire second. date was quote, I can promise you I was 100% single once the plane landed. Once the plane landed. Unbelievable. Good thing it was a long flight. I still can't. It was crazy. I mean, he may have been sleeping, but Brad was clearly also doing work before that, ditching

the old and upgrading to the new. I mean, he didn't cheat or anything, but I got to say, her instincts, spot on. Yeah. She actually saw the text. She didn't want to share his business, but she said, No, believe me. If you read it, you would have known. Yeah, so now his upgrade to the first class person was not approved. Oh, boy.

And he's back to taking the train again, looking for somebody new. But we do wish Brad the best of luck.
