Ugh, we're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you. Someone else will too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.

The gym? Yeah, are you worried about that? Because it's usually pretty loud in there, and you're sweating. And we know, Brooke, that you don't wear deodorant. Or at least not deodorants that work. You like to do that organic stuff. I mean, how else do you send your pheromones out into the world, Jeffrey? A.K.A. hot guy deterrent.

Is that what that smell is when I go in the gym? Pheromones? I don't know. It might not be the cutest look sometimes, but that's where one of our listeners, Vanessa, says she ended up meeting a guy over at her local gym. And it seems to work out okay for her until it didn't. Maybe I need to get her a deodorant brand.

Maybe. Vanessa, what type of deodorant do you use? I'm a dove girl. Dove? That's a good one. Is that okay for you, Brooke? I like to go a little more natural. Maybe just give it a try.

I'm pretty sure Brooke uses mayonnaise and lemon juice. Unless it's an actual dove, a live dove that she can rub underneath her arms. It's like a cave. Once the dove is dead, it's time to change it out. Yeah, alright. Well, thank you for the recommendation on the deodorant, but let's focus on your love life here.

Tell us about the guy that you met when you were at the gym. Totally. So, I was working out the other day, you know, across the room. I kind of saw this guy. He was cute, of course, in really good shape. And I kept glancing, but I was trying not to make it obvious. Yeah. I mean, it can be so awkward if you get caught staring. Yeah. Yeah. No matter what side you're a guy or a girl. I mean, nobody really likes that at the gym.

Or do they? I mean, some people are checking themselves out the whole time. Right. Those are the people that are annoying. Sometimes it's kind of like a confidence boost to notice somebody glancing at you. But sure. How'd you get his attention? Well, it wasn't on purpose, but we kind of like locked eyes through the mirror, you know? Oh.

Yeah. So in order to make it not be super awkward since he knew now I was looking at him, I went over and I asked if he would spot me to do some squats. Oh, that's nice. That's forward. That's good. The trip's risky because you can't tell who's single or not sometimes. That's true, but if you're just asking for a spot, you're just asking, like,

Hey, come and share my space. Did you get this guy's name during this whole encounter? Yeah, his name is Alex. Okay. And how'd the spotting go? Really well. Like he was supporting me and encouraging and just super nice and sweet. That's awesome.

Some good vibes. So you were able to turn that into something else? Well, yes. For the rest of the workouts, we kind of were just like near each other doing our own thing. And then we kind of finished around the same time. So when we were leaving, he asked if I wanted to go across the street and get some coffee. Oh, he asked? That's cute.

Yeah. Good. I had enough plans. So we went and got some coffee. And it just felt so like natural and comfortable. And it's so awesome to have like an impromptu date on that because no one can cancel. You know, like, there's no lead up. It's just happening.

Yeah. What did you guys connect over besides working out? Well, like, our jobs are somewhat similar. We talked about family. I mean, yeah, we talked about everything, really. Okay. How long did you hang out for? No one cares about any of that.

Let's move on. What happened after coffee? Was that the end of it? It was not. Everything, really. Okay. How long did you hang out for? No one cares about any of that. Let's move on. I'd like to know. Yeah, what happened after coffee? Was that the end of it? It was not. So it was like a super nice day out, and I feel like neither of us wanted it to end, so we ended up going to the park and like walking around. Oh, dang.

Oh, wait. A workout, then a walk? That sounds like such a chore. Yeah. Jose's so tired. Oh, my God. Can we just lay down? You guys are both in good shape at least.

But this time you're like dried sweaty. Yeah, sweaty, dry, maybe sweaty. It's a good point. Was there anything weird that was happening during this encounter? Like at coffee or at the park? No, the park was actually so fun. We were walking and I mentioned how I also do yoga

and I ended up showing him some yoga poses in the park. You guys are that fit couple in the park. You little spandex looking great doing yoga poses. Oh, God. Did he like that? He seemed to because then we kind of finished our walk around the park and he was like, I'm kind of a coffee addict. Do you want to go get another coffee? I mean, do you think at this

point you should have like bowed out like the momentum's good. That's when you leave. Leave him wanting more. But we had more momentum. What, you did a CrossFit class next? Yeah, exactly. I feel like it's just the caffeine. He's going to be like, you want to go back to the gym now? Is he just not very creative?

Coffee park, gym. Me, big bro. How was second coffee? Also amazing. Okay. Seeing a pattern here. Okay. You want to go look into some mirrors?

Or is he still there with you? I mean, I hate to just put this out on the radio, but I ended up staying the night. What? Did you get to shower at any point? Yeah, I mean, there was some food, there was some shower. I couldn't have, like,

subsided totally on just coffee alone. And I bet you guys stayed up late after all that coffee. Another workout session. How did you leave it? Everything stayed awesome. Like, he was really sweet the next morning. He walked me out.

We ended up walking down the street to Starbucks and had our morning coffee together. Oh, my God. Okay. And so was that the end of the date? Yes. Okay. I'm exhausted. It was like a end of the date? Yes. Okay. Oh, Jesus. I'm exhausted. It was like a whole relationship you guys went through.

She's like, then we went to a road trip. Oh, my gosh. Okay. We did a whole week's worth in one day. Oh, well, that's nice. And you haven't heard anything. Exactly. This is why now I have to call you.

It's been a few days. Suddenly you were cold. So, like, I literally know nothing. Well, this is a good thing. Sometimes one date can turn into a few days. Suddenly you were cold. So, like, I literally know nothing. Well, this is a good thing. Sometimes one date can turn into a whole weekend. You know, it's a good thing if you were both on the same page. Who are we to say this is bad? But sometimes hanging out too much, that's like the kiss of death.

Yeah. Could be. Yeah. Let's find out. Sit tight. We'll come back. We'll call Alex for you and try and get you your second date update right after this, okay? Perfect.

Thank you, guys. Hold on. Second date update. It's a date that started off amazing. They locked eyes across a crowded gym. Had an instant vibe going. Decided to hang out. Okay.

But 14 hours and 200 cups of coffee later, they're not speaking to each other anymore. Yeah. And our listener, Vanessa, doesn't blame Brooke for that. Good. Why would she? I do. What?

Why do you blame me? I don't know. It just feels right. Okay. But we don't know what the reason is, actually, for why her date, Alex Alex isn't calling her back. Maybe he just hasn't had his coffee yet, you know? Or maybe he's finally asleep after seven dates of just coffee drinking.

You mean a caffeine coma. Maybe. Possibly. But it is odd because she ended up spending the night over at Alex's place. And they went to coffee afterwards. Yeah. Like, usually if it's going to be weird and awkward, there's a reason that you have to go. I got to get ready for work. Yeah. So we have a mystery on our hands. We're going to get

to the bottom of it. How are you feeling here, Vanessa? Do you need some coffee? No, I am good. I'm confident. I'm ready for you guys to help. What do you think it is? Just any guesses before we call? No, I really had so much much fun i just don't even know okay i'm wondering what her coffee order is is it weird oh you guys she stayed the night and he took her out to coffee again this morning oh maybe you were big spoon maybe he wanted to be stir stick That's a good copy joke. Come on, guys. Give her a laugh. That was funny. Thanks, Jose. I don't know what that even means, but we're going to, on that note, call Alex for you and try and get your second date update, okay?

Okay, I'm ready. Okay, us two, I think. Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this alex uh no this is alan alan alan oh do you know alex no this is alan i'm pretty sure i know my name is that another radio show calling him i'm gonna be so you didn't have a roommate named a or something? Or someone who shares his phone? No. Who is this? Whoa.

Hey. What's going on? You were a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Did we get the name wrong? Wow. I don't think so. I thought we heard it right.

She said it a bunch of times. I don't know. We get names wrong a lot. One of our listeners is a girl that says that she went on a date with you. Did you go out with someone recently that you met at a gym? I'm pretty sure I know you're talking about Vanessa. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Oh, no. Did she get your name wrong? Yeah. I mean, honestly, the date was going great, but she just kept calling me all these different names. She called me Andrew. She called me Andy.

Wow. She called me Alan at one point. She got my name right at one point. By accident? Yeah. Then she called me Aaron like a second later. I don't get it, though. It sounds like you're mad at her.

But, I mean, this is the woman that stayed the night at your house, right? Yeah. I mean, it was crazy. I kept taking us to Starbucks because they would call my name out. I was trying to get her to... bunch of times during your date, but she said it's because you were a coffee addict. That's what you told her. I was just trying to be subtle and that was my name. Oh, my God.

So you were only taking her so that the barista would call out your name, Alan. Yeah, so they're yelling my name over and over. Oh, that is so uncomfortable. Why didn't you tell, why weren't you just more direct? I did. I did correct her, but after the second time of correcting her, I just thought Starbucks would fix it. But you corrected her twice?

Of course. What did she say when you told her that's not my name, my name's Alan? She just smiled and said, okay. Huh? She wasn't even embarrassed? I would have been mortified. She just had hearts in her eyes looking at him like, whatever you say.

Sure, Alakazam. Amos. I was ready to suggest like tattoos that we could get over each of our names. Oh my God. But you know, I'm willing to bet that if we talk to her randomly right now, that she would get your name right. I hope.

Randomly? And we should put it to the test because she's randomly on the phone right now. Oh, weird. Listening and wanting to talk to you, Alan. Hi. Hi. I don't really know what to say. Oh my gosh, I'm so embarrassed.

I listened to your whole thing. I just kind of have a bad memory sometimes, like if I'm wrapped up in the moment, I don't pay attention to the details. Oh, you're just awful with names. I get that for a moment, but for a 14-hour date, it's a little longer than a moment. You know, details is like what color shirt he's wearing not what his name is but like just because we're in starbucks i mean i'm not like staring at his cup to see what was written or we're talking having fun i'm not listening to hear what his name is when they call it out okay we're still waiting for that that i'm sorry for

getting your name wrong if you want to throw that in there, that's okay. Alan, I am so sorry. I feel foolish. I was having so much fun, though. Look, I don't know what to tell you. I mean, it was just very awkward. You couldn't remember. I don't know.

Why can't you remember my name? Why is it so hard? Alan is a pretty common name. Like, it doesn't stand out. Oh. You know? It's my fault. I'm not saying it's your fault.

I mean, maybe we can blame whoever named you a little bit. They could have been a little more creative. Alan, is it your mom or your dad that we should assign blame to? Some of you are named after your grandpa or something.

He's got it. There's no way you're an Alan Without being a junior or a second Or something I feel like I would have remembered it better If you were like Felix or Spud Like just something that really kind of stands out Spud?

Wait, Spud like a nickname? Like a potato? Yeah, like a tater? See, you remember, you can do that association It stands out Well, I mean, that could be a positive. Maybe you could come up with a cute pet name for him. Oh, good idea. And then you never have to call him Alan.

I'll call him Bean, like Coffee Bean. My name is Alan. I just like to be called that. Yeah, but it's not working for you, is it? Not for any of us. My uncle's name was Alan, and he went by Lan, like the second half of Alan. I think that's kind of cool. You could go like A-train or something like that.

Atrium. A to the double L. A-N. Okay. Well, it's not. Sorry. I don't like any of these ideas. Maybe it's only one L.

I just want to be Alan. I'll give you this, right? If you can spell my name right now, then I will go out with you again. Oh, wow. Is that a challenge to Vanessa? For some memory tests. It's a good point. At this point, she's seen it written out three times at three different Starbucks stores.

I mean, and all you can really screw up is the L's on this one. I don't know. Nowadays, you can have Y in there. Yeah, there's E-N. There's A-N. You want me to spell your name? Like I said, I wasn't staring at the coffee cups the whole time. I was staring at you.

Maybe if she could just tell you what your eye color is, it could prove that she really was paying attention. We're not changing the test. You have to spell my name. Okay, well, this should be a good opportunity for you, Vanessa. If you get his name spelled correctly, then we will send you guys out on a date and pay for it. Do we have one of those game show

timers to put on? Yeah, I feel like I'm on Jeopardy. Just go with your gut. If you really want him, you're going to spell it. If it's meant to be. This is like the best spelling bee championship ever. Alright, here we go. Oh my gosh. Okay, deep breath.

I'm going to go with A-L-L-A-N. Ooh. Risky. Okay. Risky. I feel like it's only one L when there's an A, but the two Ls with an E. Was it right? No.

There was only one L. Ah! Oh my God. Oh, darn it. Well, Vanessa. Okay. You said I was cute and you had a good time. We cannot ruin the whole thing just based on this mistake I'm making.

She does have a point there. Other than that, there was nothing crazy that happened, right? That's pretty crazy. There's no red flag. You're like crazy good. I mean, you liked her so much you gave her one last shot at the coffee shop. I can't go back on the test, okay? I'll give you one more shot. One more chance

to spell it. You just told me. Well, this should be easy. Go ahead. It's just a layup right now. I wasn't really listening to how you spelled it in the end. I was just listening to your voice. Oh my god. Just do it. Spell it. Just spell it different than the way you did the first time.

Yes. Okay, I'll change from what I did. I'm going to go with A-L-L-E-N. Oh! That's actually worse. I got it wrong again? How is this even possible? Oh, no.

Okay. I don't pay attention. I think it's safe to say. If only he went by Al. Yeah. Brooke and he went by Al. Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Man, if I had a nickel for every second date, that didn't happen because somebody failed a spelling test live on the air.

That's like, what, the sixth or seventh time that that's happened to us? I can't recall that, Jeff. What is her... I mean, like, I'm terrible at names. Oh, so am I. But how? How is that even possible? I don't blame her. I told, like, I'm terrible at names. Oh, so am I. But how? How is that even possible? I don't blame her.

I told you how to spell it. Alan is such a rare exotic name. I doubt anybody could spell it right. Even Alan himself probably messes it up on his own tax forms. You think that? Maybe he spelled it wrong? Yeah. Is it four or five A's?

Yeah, let's blame him, Jeff. Everybody else did. Yeah. I don't think so. No second date Everybody else did. I don't think so. No second date. And honestly, I don't think anybody was that sad about it. I like how Jose didn't think that not knowing his name was a big red flag. You know what I mean?

Aside from that one tiny thing. I forget names all the time. Still makes me laugh. That was funny. But yeah, no date for them. Doesn't mean we can't get a date for you, though. If you ever want to email the show, we'll call the person who isn't calling you back. You can check out all of our podcasts up wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey.
