Is there any place on earth more difficult to navigate than the world? of dating apps? At least in this day and age. Yeah, there's a lot. Maybe it was easier a few years ago, but now there are landmines everywhere. You know, honestly, I'm pretty grateful for him because I don't think we could do these many second date updates without the dire atmosphere that this is. Thank you to everybody's sacrifice out there.

Without what you do, we wouldn't have jobs. But for a guy, if you do come across a person who's attractive and seems mentally stable-ish, and she's not a bot Your chances of landing a phone number are 0.000-0-0-0-1. So I want to talk to a real-life hero who beat those odds and actually locked down a date. The Rudy of dating apps,

his name is Luke. Round of applause for Luke. His name's Luke. I know, but you started with Rudy and the guy was going to give him a Rudy interest. That's what you do. Yeah, that's fine. We messed up your intro, Luke.

But, uh, sorry, you want to yell someone else's name? I was into it, you guys. Luke, you know the movie,

you know the scene. Y'all, this is great. I haven't felt this welcome in a long time. Okay. Luke, you are an inspiration

to millions of people listening right now. We are hoisting you up on our shoulders, carrying you all over this room. Just please tell us how you did this. We're holding the phone. Well,

I met this girl online and that's what we were talking about for a while. You know what? He did it by being a smooth talker and good. Straight to the point. How did you get a date with a girl after meeting her online? Oh, I don't want to pat myself on the back, but she's pretty hot.

I had to riz it up. Okay. Do you have a line you like to use? Or would you want to be more vague with us about it? Well, she asked me, like, what I was up to, and I'm like, I don't know, saving a cat from a tree, no big deal. Is that what you said? That was the joke? Yeah, it got a laugh.

It got a laugh. And I told her a couple other things, like, oh, I had to. deliver the cat to an orphanage. Oh, okay. Because you're the hero. That's right. Yeah. You're playing up the I'm a perfect guy, ha-ha. But it's obviously all a joke. Obviously stole the cat from the family who is waiting for it under the tree. Don't give away my trade secret.

Okay. Sorry, sorry. So, by the way, have we learned this girl's name yet? Claire. Claire. Claire. Okay. Hot Claire. So you managed to get her to agree to a date with you, which already huge, huge, huge success. So tell us how the actual. date went. You're really hyping up that success part. Brooke, you don't know. Do you? When was the last time you went on a date?

Okay. Ouch. First of all. Yeah, I'm just saying. I think the success isn't planning it. It's that they show up. Okay. Trust me. I was as shocked as anybody else that she actually gave me her number and showed up to the date. I was expecting to eat sushi by myself. Oh. Okay. Unless you went to sushi fancy. That's a fun day. Nice. I love that. Yeah. We went to sushi and she's pretty hot in real life too. I thought I might

been catfish, but nope. Oh, although catfish is a good sushi roll that you should try sometime. What did you guys connect over? Regular stuff, you know, we talked about like enjoying like hiking and work. Nothing too fancy, but I gotta imagine my Riz must not have been

as good in person as it was online because she hasn't been calling me back. That's interesting because you, I mean, just talking to you in this amount of time, you seem like a fun, playful, like good personality type of guy. Don't forget good looking. Oh, yeah. I'm going to come clean.

I don't want you guys to tell her this, but I actually brought a friend to the dinner with me. What? Not at the table. Like a spy? Kind of, yeah. Why? Why? Please tell me you're talking about the cat that you rescued.

No, they were just at the table nearby and kind of like. Oh, wait, wait. So now it's they? Now it's multiple people? Yeah, it was two people. What? Oh, God. Why?

It's a group. Hold on. Now that you're revealing little. Little by little. Was the entire restaurant all your friends? Even the waiter was his mom. No, but look, look, you got to think smart about this. It would be weird if just one dude was sitting by himself at a table next to your tables. Oh, you couple.

No, man. It's weird either way. It's weird that you invited friends on your date. Why did you invite friends on your date? Trust me, she did not know. I mean... Girls always know. Yeah.

But, like, weren't they staring at you or, like, was it ever obvious? No, I didn't think so. I mean, listen, all I would do is if I felt like I was kind of running out of some Riz, there was a little bit of like a law in the conversation. I'd just excuse myself to the bathroom and one of them would meet me in there and we'd kind of game plan before I'd head back in. Oh, okay. You needed just a little backup in case you needed support. That's not a bad idea.

What? Women do this all the time. I just need to know. Are they on the other line? Are they like in the back room with us right now? No, no. No, you're just on your own. Okay.

It's just me for now. Jeff, here's the thing. Women will invite someone to be nearby for safety reasons, not because they don't feel like they can hold the date. Mine was also for safety. It was for conversational safety. Conversational safety. Which is equal in my eyes, I think. Girls do it. It's cool. A guys do it. It's crazy. How many times did you go to the bathroom? I went four times.

Oh, okay. Yeah, that's bad. You got a small bladder. That's not a big deal. It's a big deal. I mean, it seems helpful. me up. You know, I went back out there and kept making her laugh. Okay. So you were able to game plan better conversations. Well. And how did the date end?

It was a little kiss. It was a little peck on the cheek. Okay. Was there any talk about future hangouts? Like with me and my friends? No. No, Dan. Although you can answer that if you want to. I'm curious. Even they're like, we're not going to see you again. No, it is. You get dumped by three people in one day?

At this point, I kind of feel like if I don't get a call back, we all lost. Oh, they did do half the work. We all need closure here. That's a good point. All right. Well, we're going to call Claire and hopefully get some answers not just for Eric, but for his entire friend group. Wow. So we can all rest easy after we do your second date update right after this.

Hold on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. If you're just joining us, we've been talking to RML Riz Master Luke, who locked down a date with a tasty little saucepot. named Claire the other night. His words, not mine. That's TLSP. That's right.

So took her to a restaurant, and for backup, he brought a couple of his buddies along, had them sit at a nearby table just in case he needed some help with conversation topics. Wasn't it a girl and a guy that he brought along? I assumed two guys. It was two of my buddies.

Okay. Well, he's got to be able to meet him in the bathroom, Brooke. Yeah. Now, the good news is he only needed their help four times throughout the dinner date. That is so many times. Well, Luke, we never asked you, though, did your friends who were there that night

have any theories on what they think could have gone wrong? No, they said I was killing it. They were like, yeah, man, she's all about it. Wait, wait, what? You met him in the bathroom, and that's the advice they gave you, is you're killing it, keep doing what you're doing? No, no, that's what they told me after the date.

Oh, when they were watching from the bushes, as you say goodbye to her. Why, I'm imagining them putting thumbs up from across the table. Yeah. Oh, no, they weren't in the bushes. They were in their car in the parking lot. Okay. With the headlights and the high beams on. No matter what.

Those are good supportive friends to just say that to you, even if it might not be 100% true. Okay. I know. I appreciate that and I appreciate them. I just, I really want you guys to do whatever you can to help get me the second date. And if you could, please don't mention that my friends were there. I don't want her to know that. Oh, okay.

Okay. We'll tell her that you have no friends whatsoever. So that's impossible. I think maybe just don't bring up friends at all, Jeff. Yeah. Until she probably does. Exactly. Let's find out.

I'm going to dial Claire right now. We'll see if she picks up and hopefully get some answers. Here we go. Hi, we're looking to speak to somebody named Claire. This is she. Oh, hey, hey, Claire. Welcome to our radio show. Surprise you're on the radio.

Oh, good morning. We're a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Okay. This is just supposed to be. kind of fun. Yeah. So I hope you're not too busy doing something right now, but we'd really, really like to talk to you. What's this about?

This is about a segment we do called the Second Date Update. Do you know about that? Have you heard about second date updates? Viral and TikTok. It sounds a little familiar. Maybe on Insta or something. Okay. Yeah. That may be one of the knockoffs. I know. No, it's the

one where they steal our audio and they use those video games. Oh, God. I love it. Love those ones. I know. So much better than ours. Subway surfers for life. Yeah. I never found that game until us.

So Claire, maybe you're a little bit familiar with it, but basically it's where we try to help out our listeners figure out the reason they're not getting a callback for a second date from someone they really like. Just someone? He has a name. Yeah. This particular person is named Luke, who you went on a date with.

Sorry. Oh, my goodness. Why? I don't want to sound competitive, but I have been out with more than one Luke this week. Oh. Oh, that's bad timing. Okay. I mean, it's a fairly common name.

It is. Yeah. But still. Wow. This particular Luke went to sushi with you. Okay. I thought you're going to be like, again. Wait.

Okay. Okay. Is that you remember or you don't? Yeah. I know who you're talking about for sure now. Okay. Good. Man.

You wish we called about the other Luke? Sounds like it Or maybe he is calling back Okay So what we're trying to tell you Is that Luke had a really good time And he's a little bit confused About why there hasn't been a second date yet

Uh huh Is it as simple as you just have so many other dates planned That you can't fit Luke in I guess It was just a little bit of an odd date You seem kind of nervous And I don't know He's a little quieter in person

That's not really my thing You want a more confidence I mean, he just needs a little bit of time to warm up because he was speaking to us about the date and he had a lot of really nice things to say. Yeah, he was very smiley. I don't, I don't know. I don't know, but it just seemed like he knew people that were sitting by us. Oh. No.

What do you mean? Like when Luke would make a joke, I would hear like the table, two tables over laughing and say how funny that guy is. Oh. Some other table was listening in on your conversation. They're like overselling it? I mean, to be fair, I do that all the time. I love when a first date comes in and I'm at a restaurant. It is like, it's better than any.

I do imagine Brooke. Turn around. Nice joke, girl. I talk about it with my kids. I'm like, did you hear what they say? No. No. With the kids?

Oh, yeah. Claire, you find that behavior to be rude and insulting. It's kind of loud. It's a weird vibe. I don't know. It just is off. Well, I mean, it's like Brooke was saying. You can't really hold that against Luke.

just because some other guys are obviously jealous of him and wish that they were on the date instead of him. It's pretty cool. You're cracking up other tables. And here's a thing, even if Luke did know them. I mean, I've gone into restaurants where I've seen people that I know just by coincidence. He never said he knew them. I almost mentioned that normally you'd be like, hey, is that Bill?

Did you ask, though? No, no, because it was weird. Literally some guys, like, he's so cute. I'd go out with him again. Wait, the guy said he's cute. That's a real. Yeah, one of the many times when it was about this guy literally came over and told me that. Wait.

One of them talked to you. No. No. The guy came over to your table and said, the person you're on a date with thinks you're cute. No. I think he's cute. I would go out with him. Oh.

Yes. Yeah. I'm like, who are you? Oh, no. He is going to die when he hears that one of the guys from the table came over. Yeah. You're doing too much. Yeah.

And he already did hear that, actually, Claire. because he is listening on the other line to this conversation. He's listening? Yeah, he's like the guys from the restaurant at the other table right now. Little eavesdropper over there. Lukie there? Oh, my gosh. I cannot believe he said that.

What an idiot. He's going to out yourself then right away. There's a nice thing he said about you. So you do know the guy. You didn't say that. Oh, my God. Just tell her at this point. I'm sorry

You're just You're really Attractive and you're really cool And I was just nervous And I wanted to have Somebody's there to kind of just help me With the date I'm sorry

I didn't tell you I just I thought it would be Uncomfortable and weird So those guys were like your training wheels That's a new term That's a good word I do like that I guess you could say that

Okay I mean, I guess I really appreciate your honesty. I do. Like, that's kind of 100% pathetic. Oh. Ouch. Come on, Claire. That's a little strong.

Yeah. I mean, he's a nice guy. He's just trying his best. Yeah. And, like, now that you know, the only reason you didn't like the date was because of them. It wasn't because of Luke. Did you not hear me before?

I said he was way different than he was online. So both things turned me off. Oh. So that too. Is it like he was funnier online? What do you mean? without going online and not in the sense of like I'm bringing friends on your date

Unless he's messaging his friends Like what do I message her back? No I'm starting to think How about this? Would you want to go back to talking online? I'm better online anyway Oh there we go That's an idea It's more of a safe place

What are you guys talking about? How is that? That's not a second date That's not the point of this is to get him Another shot in real life Without the friends without the training wheel What if you go on a date But you only text throughout the date

Okay Okay guys I could do that. Hey, you can. We know you can. We're about joking. You guys are not getting this because I didn't necessarily like him in person and I didn't like his friends. Okay.

Only the online version of Luke is acceptable. Look, my friends are my best interest. And if you don't see that, then I don't know. Maybe you don't deserve me. See, good. Stand up for your friends, bro. Okay, fine. That's cool with me.

Oh. Yeah, I think so. I thought that would work. fun with the other Luke then. Oh, yeah. He said his own name in such disdain. Yeah. So I can't even offer to send you guys out on a date that we would pay for, Claire,

because it's normally what I do here. I do get asked out a lot, so no, I don't need that. Oh, okay. Okay, well. Listen, Claire, I apologize. I honestly, I would actually like to go out with you again. Wait, what? You just told her you didn't need her, Lou.

Yeah, what? You remember sticking up for your friends, showing her. She's really hot, though, and like, I'm, telling you, man, the online dating scene is rough. Okay. Okay. So now we turn this into a third date update. Would you be willing to give him a third chance that he's meeting up with him one more

time? No. Okay. Fourth date update. Just keep asses. Okay. You know what? Forget it.

Luke, I'm sorry. She's going to say no. All right. I have to go, guys. This really has not been very much fun. Oh. Oh. Okay.

Hot and such a delight, isn't she? Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Getting ready for a game means being ready for a game means being ready for a anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know, just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. Ready for a different take on Formula One? Look no further than no grip, a new podcast tackling the culture of motor racing's most coveted series. Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-explored

pockets of F1, including the astrology of the current grid. Lewis Hamilton, Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. Wouldn't you know it? Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. The story of the sports most consequential driver strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career, a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better. And plenty of other mishaps, scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent, dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

Listen to no grip on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Man, why are the hot ones always so mean and unforgiving? Seriously, bro. I don't get it. Wait, does that mean that we're not the hot ones? Yes, bro. Because we're so kind. This is how you find out.

Yeah, sure. Wait, what? Did you hear Luke admitted his mistakes. He apologized for his actions. He complimented her. Tried to reach a compromise. Okay, Jeff. And none of that flies with a hot girl.

You are a good wingman, Jeff. He did a terrible job of all of those things. And a terrible thing, bringing his friends there. Yeah, without telling her. Okay. Your guys' inner hot girls are coming out and being like mean for no reason. Did you hear that? We have an inner hot girl.

Yeah. I wish it was outer, but I'll take my mom again. Sure. But we want to help your inner personality, mean, hot, cute, whatever. I have an inner smart guy in there, by the way. Do you? Yeah, we all have inner people. I've never met him.

They're online wherever you get your podcasts, Apple, Spotify, all the places. Just look up. Brooke and Jeffrey's second date update. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It sucks when you're on a date, hoping to get a kiss at the end of the night, or maybe even an invite upstairs.

And it just doesn't happen. Oh. But just because they said good night and closed the door on you, does that mean it's over and you need to walk away with your head in shame? It does. Yes. No, it does not. There is always another way. In fact, one of our female listeners, choking.

to use an innocent little excuse to go from awkward end of the night hug to instant sleepover at his place. Oh, hello. You're going to hear it, maybe even be able to use it for yourself after a brand new second date update

right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. Are there rules for when you want to veto a date that you don't love? Like in the planning stages or are we already on it?

In the planning stages? Okay. You're looking forward to hanging out with this person. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you just aren't thrilled about the activity that they came up with. Like, is there a limit to how many vetoes you get? To, like, be like, oh, do you want to do this? No.

Yeah. Is there a number that you can't go over? I think you can't go over one. I think you get one veto. And then you start to look picky. And do you need to say veto in a fancy accent so it sounds less harsh when you're turning them down? I can't show me. Vito!

I only ask because one of our listeners, Brittany, exercised her right to veto, and now she's ended up here with us. Oh, Brittany, did you use the wrong accent when you vetoed? I wish I could do a cool accent. On your email, it says you went out with a guy named Josh, and you had to turn down an idea or two. So tell us about Josh. How did you meet him?

We met through friend of a friend. Oh, okay. I was already really close to one of his guy friends. Okay. And so how did the planning of this date go, like run us through that? So we were in between texting and it was really sweet of him to bring up like mini-gall, but I just wasn't feeling it. And then he brought up bowling. Oh. I honestly wasn't feeling that.

So wait, are you, like, I feel like if you vetoed that you then have to offer a suggestion yourself. Yeah, I agree with that. Were you just saying no? Okay, so I was just saying no. And I, okay, real quick, I will admit, I was being kind of a princess. You weren't just saying no. You were saying, ew, no. She used that little barf emoji.

Yuck. Bowling, gross. It wasn't that bad. It wasn't that bad. Okay, good, good. So did you finally decide on something to do? Well, we ended up just, he was like, why don't you just come over to my place? It's a big community.

Like, we can go for a walk, like, around the neighborhood. And to be honest, that sounded more like, I had to stress. full work week. Like, I'm about it. Okay. I mean, after feeling high maintenance, now you seem low maintenance. Yeah. If that's all you need. You can just chill and walk. I didn't even think about that, but you're so

right. Oh, wow. You're good without knowing. There it is. That's a good thing. So you agreed to a walk around his neighborhood, and how did that go? It was actually really good. We got along. We had a lot of things in common. We ended up

going back to his place, and it was good, and And bad. Uh-oh. His place was bad? No, no, no, no. No, no. His place was nice, actually.

Like, it was modern and clean. Okay. You're saying the vibe was good and bad. Yes. Thank you. Because I could see you also walking through and being like, veto that painting. Ew. Vito that backslash.

Absolutely not. That's impressive he even has those. Yeah. Well, that's a fair point, actually. Okay. So when you're hanging out with him at his place, what happens? Yeah. What's the good?

The good was the banter. Like, again, we just kind of hit it off really well. Nice. The bad part that, okay, so we put on you, the Netflix show. Wait, isn't that the stalker show? Then it's supposed to, with Penn Badgley or whatever. Yeah, but it only gets darker after the first season. It gets, okay, so the first season.

It was just on and in the background. Like, we were talking, watching, and he was sitting all the way on the, other side of the couch, like, I don't know if it was the fact that he was shy or what. But it did kind of throw me off. Like, it wasn't the greatest vibe, if you know what I mean. You're yelling across the living room while a show is played. You probably have to yell anyway to be heard over a Netflix show playing in the background. Huh, interesting.

So how did you guys end it? Well, it was getting dark. Yeah. And I honestly, I was kind of like, I was getting tired. So I just told him I had to go. No kiss. We did hug. Okay.

But when I got to my car, I realized I only brought my sunglasses. Like, I didn't bring my real glasses. So, like, I can't drive. Like, I definitely can't drive without my glasses. And so I ended up texting him, like, hey, this is the situation. And he ended up telling me that I could stay the night. Oh. Oh, that's nice.

Wow. Why wouldn't he say I'll drive you home? That's interesting. Obviously, between the two choices, stay the night or I'll take you home. The guy is going to pick, yeah, sure. You can have a sleepover. I don't want her to stay. She may kiss me.

Why are you so against the sleepover, Brooke? I'm just surprised because he's a guy that sat on the opposite room. Yeah, he had all the side of the room from her. It sounded like he wasn't. And now's his chance. Into it. He's like, okay. So I'm sure you're getting mixed signals then, right?

When he asks you, did you stay the night? I did. And I ended up, yes, I did. Oh, ended up one. What was that? Yeah. Nothing. I just ended up staying the night. Okay. But like, did you sleep on the couch at separate ends again?

That's a good question, yeah. Definitely. Our show is so perverted. We want all the details. Something happened, though. She's flustered. Not major, but something happened. Here's the question. What was it like at the next morning? There you go, Brooke. No comment.

Hey, all right. We heard all we needed to do. I don't know if that's good. Yeah. Yeah, okay. So what's happened? I'm assuming the next day you got back your car, you drove home, and then what's happened since then? That's where we're at. Absolutely nothing.

He's not responding to you at all. At all. Well, now when we call him, some of the details about what happened that night might need to come out if they explain why he's not calling you back. Hopefully you're okay with that. We need that. Okay. The whole world needs that. Be prepared.

Let's try and get some more details out of Josh when we come back. and call him, try and get you your second date update right after this, all right? Thank you. All right, hold on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. It's the classic first date line young people love to use. Oh, I forgot my driving glasses.

Can I spend the night at your place? Worked on me all throughout college. Oh, yeah. Oh, and my driving glove and scar. Oh, my God. So many. But now, to be fair, our listener, Brittany, didn't ask to spend the night over at Josh's house. He offered to let her stay.

Which means he wanted to, because there's so many other solutions to figuring this probably. Yeah, why wouldn't he want that? Oh, I'll just call you an Uber. But ever since then, Brittany hasn't seen any effort by Josh for him to arrange a second meetup with her, which is kind of odd. Because she says there was a connection there. There was a chemistry, especially when they were bantering with each other. Yeah, except for the moment on the couch. That's the moment, long moments.

Yeah, long moments on the couch where they're sitting on the opposite end. He just sat in a weird spot and maybe got stuck there, wasn't sure how to move over. We're not really sure. That's why we need to ask him. And I forgot, Brittany, you said your friend set you up. Have you heard anything from them? Nothing. I've tried to reach out to them too.

And she just keeps saying that she's busy. And then the other guy's like, yeah, we're super busy right now. Like, we'll get back to you. That sounds like they're covering for him. Yes. Yeah. Weird. I wonder if they didn't know.

Like, maybe he's, I don't know what. Who knows? Let's find out. We could have a million questions. It's best to just call Josh and ask. So I'm going to dial his number right now. We'll see if he picks up. Here we go.

Hey, we're looking to talk with Josh. This is he. Who's us? Hey, Josh. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hey, Josh. Hey, good morning.

Hey. Hey. So I hope it's okay if we ask you some questions about your dating life because we're doing a segment called Second Date Update update. on the radio. Yeah. They're very specific questions, only about one person. Yeah.

A person you went out with recently named Brittany. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. I guess we'll move into the questions, Jeff. So we know a little bit about when you and Brittany hung out. Like, here's a little bit of the background to catch you up,

because Brittany was on the show and she told us that she came over to your neighborhood, you guys walked around. Overall, we weren't sure if the date was, like, great or just average. But she did say that she spent the night. We just, we were not 100% sure what that means. Yeah. And she's interested in you. Yeah.

So could you maybe let us in on what's been going on in your head? Um, sure. I mean, I don't know how much she's told you about. Well, it's mostly everything I just recapped for you right there over the last 20. Not right now. Generic, just general. Did you have a good night? Um, it was different. Okay, you had a night. Yeah.

It could be different in a good way. Yeah, that's like a little. Alexis, would you be complimented if a guy says your date was different? Pause for 10 seconds before he answered. Yeah, he was like, oh, it was different. Yeah. Did she do something weird or wrong? So, I don't know if, I mean, this is going to look great for her.

It's not going to look great for her, you said? It's not going to look great for her, but, I mean, if you really want to know where it took a left turn for me. We really want to know, but more importantly, she really wants to know. And she's agreed to hear whatever the reason is. She knows the risks. We outright warned her that she may hear something that's not super flattering. She was pumped about it. She wasn't, but she's okay with it.

She's like, I hope so. Okay, so we were just watching Netflix, and during the middle, she pulled the, out her phone, which, you know, it's fine. But then she asked me to come over and look over, and she's basically showing me pictures of her coworkers and how fat and ugly they were.

Wait, what? And just like commentating one by one. And, you know, to her credit, and she wasn't wrong about all of them, but... Wait. Hold on. She's in her photo gallery being like, look how ugly this person is. Like bad mouthing her own co-workers?

Oh, my gosh. I was just wondering, what is going on right now? Oh, my God. Was it a joke that maybe she's not very funny? It seems like she has no one to talk to, and not the gossip was at work. So I guess this is her way of releasing that information. Oh, my God.

But look at any gossip. That's just me. She said she wanted to do something chill because she had a bad week at work. Oh, she needed to vent a little bit. She told us that that she had a bad week at work, and so she's just venting by. and it was all about people's appearances?

Yeah, mostly, but also, I think it was just, she was also talking about their performance at work. Yikes. I would almost be sympathetic if she was telling you the stories. This girl was mean to me or this thing happened, but not just going, look at this fat person. And to have a photo gallery of them at the ready. I know.

I am so impressed with her that she's that organized to be able to bust it out. I mean, there was a group picture, and it wasn't a good photo at all. Okay. So it made it easy to go this collection of people. The way you're describing it to us earlier, you felt like that was a bad thing for you. That was a red flag. I would have been to.

Again, I jokingly say it was kind of funny and random, but at the same time, this was not. Yeah. Okay. But if you do the same thing to you from, if you were that put off by it, then she told us that you asked her to spend the night and something may have happened between you two.

Oh, yeah. Because it's moral. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a guy, so... Oh, it was a selfless act of you. You want to make her feel better, dude.

That's nice. That's nice. I can't believe we even asked him that question. What a sweet, sweet man. Brooke, why aren't you thanking him? No, I mean, honestly, she's the worst. She probably felt better afterwards and, like, got it all out of her system. She was a joy to work with the rest of the week.

And you don't have to believe. And you don't have to believe me on that one, dude, because Brittany is on the other line of this phone call right now wanting to talk to you. Yeah, she's just called all of us ugly. Real quick, I do. I want to talk about that, like the elephant in the room. Wow, I'm going to say elephant. You know, Brittany, you never brought that up when we talked to you about your date before. Which is, honestly, it's worrisome because it means that you found it normal.

Yeah. It is absolutely normal. I mean, isn't it better to talk about them behind their backs than in front of their face? What the? Right? No. And also, you went way beyond that. I mean, you were just being so negative and critical of everyone.

Oh, my gosh. Honestly, you need to shut your trap because I'm so sick of your fucking this, that judgey, judgey. I'm the one who's judged it. She sounds stressed out again. Josh, maybe you need to invite her over. We know the trick. She needs to play another round of hot or not with her co-workers. I'm scared when she's going to vent about us.

Oh, yeah. I'm not scared. She's definitely going to be dropping into my DMs. There's no. Well, Brooke, you do say a lot of unsavory things about people that work here in private. I do not. I have never commented on someone's books before. It is normal.

It's a normal. normal thing. And if you create an environment for people to be able to do that, then people are going to do that. It's their fault. So it's their fault that they aren't to your standard of appearance. Brooke's words. I mean, to be honest, yes, it is their fault. Oh, wow. That is so shallow, Brittany. And, like, excuse me, you're the shallow one, Brooke, like everybody else saying that you talk all the time. I're kidding, though. Jeff is joking. I mean, I'm definitely smiling. I'll say that. I regret asking you to help me out with this, Brooke. I just, I knew you weren't going to be truthful about it.

I just, I knew you weren't going to be truthful about it. I thought for sure you were going to call me ugly right then. I don't know why that would have felt better to me. Okay, Brooke, I would really appreciate if you stayed out of the second date and brought everybody down with your negativity. We need to focus on helping this couple reconcile and get together for another date because, Josh, we would offer to send you out one more time and we would pay for it. unless it ended up being back at your place again. You know what? I'm not interested. This wasn't the way I thought things were going to be wrapped up.

And I'm not interested. I'm actually not even interested in this show anymore. Oh, sorry. Look what you did. I know. You seem quite interested in the night. Yeah. That's why she's calling you back.

Josh, you don't need to go all the way back to the back. That wasn't the burn you thought it was. I mean, look, I tried. I tried. No. I think she's always going to be meaner than you, so I would just stop all your head. Well, Brittany, hey, thanks again for being on with us and giving it a shot. Yeah, thanks for nothing.

You can go through us. Oh, well, thank you. I think I'm going to go do that. So at the wellness room here at the work is for us. That's right. I'm going to go in there and think about all my fat, ugly co-work. Just have a great time. I'll join you as we fit.

Yeah, it's a party. Come on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared.

You take listeners so literally sometimes, Jeff. I think that was more of a figurative screw you. I thought she had a good suggestion. Screw yourself. But I think we all agree that bad-mouthing your coworkers is something you just don't do until date number three.

Or until you're in a serious relationship with that person at the very least. Have you honestly ever pulled out a picture of someone and talked about how ugly they were? No, not like point in it out. Like, not like, hey, look at this fool. I'm not going to answer this question. So no surprise, their moral compasses. didn't align. No.

Well, one had one and one didn't. Yeah, that's the true. He was agreeing with her on some of the comments. Well, okay. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, Jeff. You know what? It didn't work out, but maybe she'll appear again on our show during a blind love is. Oh.

I'm sure she'd be perfect for that. She sounds like looks don't matter to her. So she'd love to meet someone that she'd never seen before. Sounds like she's better for Am I the Jerk. Yeah.
