Look at that. Isn't that a good place for it to be? It's Brooke and Jeffree in the morning. And we asked you yesterday, okay, huge surprise by the third date. Too much or not? Yes. And we did get some comments. What do we got?

Yeah, I saw Authentic Sound said, my ex-wife gave me a phone after two weeks of dating and a car after one month. Let's just say she's my ex-wife now. Oh. But you're still driving the car. And he's probably commenting from the phone. Yeah. That's exactly right.

I mean, you got to. We love when you interact with us on the comments, whether that's on Spotify or YouTube, or you can always text the show as well. have a text board at seven eight five nine two so oh and social media at Burke and Jeffrey yes all right there's my spiel let's get this show started second date update I saw a video posted by a bridal stylist recently she talks to brides all the time. Yeah, he's asks how they met their husband What's the number one way single people are finding their spouses right now the number one answer

She says by far is on hinge. Yeah, oh Not like bumble or like specifically him. She says bumble is second Okay, nobody is on tinder if you're seriously trying to find your serious number three was a little bit surprising though She said college sweethearts Not a website like people who actually met in college College sweethearts.com like an adult People who like women looking for sugar daddy. No, it's like the relationship lasted beyond graduation.

That's a weird one. And then the rarest is meeting somebody naturally out in the wild. And I don't know if I hear animal noises right now, but that's exactly what happened with one of our listeners Chad Oh, how wild was it? He was a lone tiger loose in the jungle Roman free till a certain frisky feline caught his eye So let's learn about it Chad welcome to the show. Hey, thanks He's the prowling tiger Frisky feel like yeah

He's the prowling tiger. Yeah, let's tell a feline. Well. Yeah a big Sure and tell us about the girl that you met. What's her name her name is Lucy Okay, and we're out in the wild did you meet Lucy? I'm at Lucy at a furniture store Scream awesome because like shopping for furniture I could see girls out and about I would just assume everyone at a furniture store is married. Yeah, I've never stepped in a furniture store But IKEA! Yeah, also they got money because furniture is not cheap Even if you are at IKEA you're spending a couple hundred bucks Yeah, so you were like a legit store. This wasn't like assemble your furniture

One of the nice ones was wood Shots fired at IKEA with that one. So how did you and Lucy like how did that interaction happen in the store? Well I was walking around the store I was just there looking to upgrade my place and I had zeroed in on this one sofa but then Lucy came in and was looking at the exact same couch arm wrestle who for whoever's gonna buy it yeah I mean I wish I could have I mean I would have loved to have done that and buy the couch for her I don't have that much money. I'm just kidding, brother. What was your move? The move was just to kind of like, what do you like about the couch?

And then it just kind of got to a level where we weren't just talking about a couch. Well, and eventually you're going to have to spoon on it together to see if two people fit. That's important. You want to hop on with me and test her out here? Brooke has a really weird way of flirting, I will say. I feel like we shouldn't have heard a let loose in a furniture store.

Yeah, it didn't get too racy. We just kept trying it out. Okay. I'm shocked it didn't get too sexual. That's cute though. That's a really organic way to have conversation. It is good because you're kind of playing like you're a couple already.

By like shopping together, it kind of like plants that image into your mind in a subtle way. So not only that, it's important for him to know if women like this couch. Yeah. Oh my God. That's fair.

Were you able to spin it into a date? Yeah. We come to find out we both wanted the couch. There's salespeople at these high end furniture stores. And so it's like, okay, we're both interested in the couch. And the guy's like, this is it. There's just the one. Oh, my God. Oh, no. Bidding war.

Yeah. And then you guys started to fight. So what's the move? I was like, OK, well, we both want the couch. But if you want me to let you have it, then why don't you give me something in return, you know, like your phone number? OK, OK. OK, Because they also sell beds over here That's a good way to get her number did she like that yeah, I mean good enough to give me the number I mean she got the couch. Oh, yeah

You got the number and now she's ghosting you I think they went out So like fast forward to like the next three days and we're texting a lot I mean like and I say that a lot I mean like 50 times a day Yeah, I haven't texted anybody 50 times in my whole life So we scheduled a date and then she backed out and I wanted to reschedule and then like she backed out again the night before Okay, are you? You guys were talking so much though via text

I don't know can't say no I would probably give out my number and talk for a few days to not feel bad And wait till the couch is delivered and at my home and then stop text and then you finally be over Yeah, okay Chad are you feeling like maybe the only reason that she said she would like give the number and go out on a date was Just to get the couch like that was the whole point of it that thought has crossed my mind But then there's all these texts in between so then like I did like a little recon I like googled myself myself and I was like, all right, nothing weird came up here.

Yeah, that's good. That was a concern of yours. Yeah. However you phrase it. I mean, here's the thing, she gave you her number, but she could have easily given you a fake number. Yeah, that's true. You know, like she didn't have to give you

her real phone number. Yeah, it's weird that she's backing out all of a sudden. We're gonna call Lucy and try and get to the bottom of this because if she says no to going out with you Then you deserve that couch in my opinion. That wasn't the deal. It was just a phone number Jeff That was on you Chad No, I thought it was a fair deal, but it turns out not so much But anyways, I need your help and hope you can help me out. All right, we're gonna try our best We'll come back and get you your second date update right after this man. Hold on

second date update I'm not a lawyer but Chad if we're not successful in getting you another date. What about at least getting you visitation with the couch? getting you another date. What about at least getting you visitation with the couch? Just like one week. With the couch. Doesn't need to be much, just one weekend a month, maybe split it on holidays. We can negotiate something, I'm sure.

Oh, you know, shared custody is what you're saying. Yeah, okay, Chad seems to like that idea. Cause if you missed part one, he met Lucy at a furniture store recently when they both liked the same exact couch But he generously let her have it if in exchange she gave him his number Yeah, yeah, I mean that was the deal that they made Yeah, it was it was a smooth move

But she keeps backing out of dates now and now their initial flame has pretty much gone completely ice-cold And they're losing chemistry fast so we he doesn't know why we need to try and help figure it out. Can I ask, Chad, the one thing I never, you know, we never really got into, you said you guys texted back and forth a ton. Was there any, like, inappropriate texting or something that could have, or could have been read wrong even? You know, sometimes you send something thinking you're joking and the other person doesn't read it right.

Yeah. Can you read some inappropriate text to brooke right now? She really? Something that stands out in all of those conversations that you had no, I mean it was flirty But without crossing the line the way I think about it asked about the couch, you know How's the couch doing? Is it okay? Yeah? I feel like he really did that though Yeah, that's what he said. He did Okay He laughed like it was like gonna be an innuendo like eww the couch

I don't know No, he's just like how's the couch doing? How I heard it, okay? See this is what text messaging is like right now. You can't tell tone no How's the couch ha ha ha? It's okay, let's call Lucy and Hopefully it's not what we were talking about earlier to where it was just all a big scam so that she could get the couch Have him back off of it. Oh not because it is very smart and a hundred percent your fault. That's the case

Yeah, I mean she just said oh well. Thank you and smile then gave you her number Yeah, that's all that you asked there's no one in the room that wouldn't agree with that deal. Yeah That was a case, then I don't know why she would even agree to go out with me at the start of it It's a good point. Yeah So hopefully there's an explanation let me dial her number right now. Let's see if she picks up here we go Hello, hey, we're looking to speak with Lucy Yeah We're a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hey, Lucy.

You're on the show, Lucy. OK, what's this about? It's our couch review segment. In a way, yeah, because we're doing a segment called Second Date Update. What is that? You don't know what that is. It's a segment we do where if someone's in like a dating

scenario and a person blows you off or you're not getting back to them, we'll reach out on behalf of that person to try and figure out if there's a reason for it. Yeah. Just to like help them understand what's going on. And this one's kind of out of the norm because you never actually went on a first date. Right.

Yeah. Because we're talking about a guy named Chad yeah we are not S'ing you Chad says that you guys met at a furniture store and you exchanged numbers it seemed like there was like some flirtation there did he read that right I mean I yeah I look like I have a good reason for it but it would just be a super uncomfortable to tell him oh you have a good reason for not calling him back or going on the date yeah cuz he said that you guys had scheduled dates and you kept bailing. Yes, I did bail.

Wait, can I ask her just blunt, did you scam our boy? Did you just get a scammer and stop it? I think the question is, did you ever have any intention of actually going on a date? Okay, then now let me ask. Did you ever have any intention of actually going on a date? Edit it so I sound smarter, thank you. Well said, Jose.

Thanks, Jeff. I mean, I wasn't gonna go on a date with him. I didn't oh, I didn't have a problem with him It was just like I got the whole couch thing and then a few days after I met Chad I came back to the furniture place with some of my friends to pick up the couch because yeah one of my friends with a pickup Truck whatever You didn't order delivery yeah Jeff doesn't have truck guys in his You gotta have a friend with a truck. Oh, you didn't order delivery? Yeah. Oh, Jeff, not everyone can afford $2,000. Chad probably would have got a delivery. Jeff doesn't have truck guys in his friend circle.

He's like, I just have one of my assistants make me a new couch. Do you want me to come by with my Escalade? See, you guys know how it works. Yeah, okay. Anyway. You went to the store to pick it up yourself. Yeah, with some friends, and then what happened? Yeah, so I went inside to pay, and who do I see? Chad? Why is that bad? Wait, why is he there? Yeah, he took the couch that

he wanted to buy. So he probably had to get a new one. Okay, no, he wasn't like shopping. He was asleep on one of the couches like in the back room area. What? I didn't even know what to do. He didn't see me. Like he was asleep. He didn't see me. His eyes were closed. Maybe he was just trying to couch out too hard.

Yeah. No way too hard. Well, it was so awkward. So I was just gonna leave, but I just asked the cashier. I was like, hey, what's the deal with that guy on the gray couch? And he's like, oh, that's the napper.

But like, he just said it like it's a nickname the napper is his nickname yeah they called him the napper the napper yeah so like apparently he comes in during his lunch break and he takes off his shoes and he takes a literal nap he No way. Oh, he comes in that often? He said that the boss, like the manager, lets him do it because like once a month he buys all the employees lunch. Oh wow. So they just let him do it.

Oh wow. Oh smart. That's a hack. Oh my god. So he's sleeping during his lunch break. What's going through your mind as they're telling you this, Lucy? I don't wanna go out with the napper,

like especially that he has a nickname. Yeah yeah but he liked the couch you were on he's tried them all out at the store yeah like you just happen to be talking to the expert and he has a house like he just goes during his lunch yeah but you're turned off by the idea of a guy who spends every lunch break going into a nap store and hanging out. A nap store? It's not a nap store. Well, sorry, sorry, a furniture store and earned a reputation as a napper. Honestly though, rebranding a furniture store to the nap store sounds amazing. Yeah, nice.

Well then everybody's gonna be doing it. I think you should give him a second chance on that one. I think you should at least hear him out on what he has to say, Lucy, because he is on the other line right now listening in on this conversation. No, we're gonna have to. Unless he fell asleep in his napping. So chatty there. Yeah, I'm here. Hi. Yeah. Hi.

Chad, this is so weird that you have a reputation as a guy who naps in public. I mean, I don't understand what the big deal is. I mean, it's like going into a subway and making your own sandwich. You just don't understand what the big deal is. I mean- It's like going into a Subway and making your own sandwich. You just don't do that. If I could go into Subway and make my own sandwich, I'd do it. But I mean, it's right near my work. They have nice employees.

Obviously they have really comfy furniture. So they get new furniture in. I get to test like the couches and I know which ones are like the softest and the best and that's why I Zeroed in on the one you bought you nap on the couch that I bought Yes Wanted to buy it I told you it was soft I mean you skin cells are gross. We're gonna go on a date. I mean you probably have your tongue in my mouth

Good nap is really I'm leading a good life. Yeah That's the way I live man. We're not talking about if naps are good or not We're talking about if Lucy is attracted to a man who does that I don't understand Why much that he has a moniker his own nickname? I still haven't heard a solid reason Lucy why this is a turnoff. Yeah, they need to explain it to Chad guys It's weird and it's embarrassing. Yeah, but it's only the Who knows about it, you know, yeah, we're not going on dates at the furniture store If you really aren't that embarrassed by it, why didn't you say that when we met why weren't you like hey

I really like this couch. I've been sleeping on it for the last three weeks Maybe I should have You guys sound like you actually have some chemistry here. I don't think that you should let this, like, get in the way. And if you're willing to not let it get in the way, then I guess we're willing to pay for it for your next date. No, because if I like him, now I'm dating the Napper, and I just don't want to do that.

Oh, come on. God, he's resourceful. He's friendly, you know? He knows where tongues go. Yes. Yes. And hopefully he has enough money to get your couch officially cleaned, too, Lucy,

with all those dead skin cells that he's left on it. I would be more worried about the slobber. Gross. Yeah. Hey, look. I just want to let you know I did not leave any residue on your couch. Look at him.

Pretty clean. Where'd you have to say it? I tell every girl I talk to, I did leave any residue on your couch. Look at him, pretty clean. Weird. Where'd you have to say it? I tell every girl I talk to, I did not leave residue on your couch, I promise. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You know, it was interesting to hear Brooke and Alexis' take on that. I don't know why you were so anti. I'm not anti, I'm just saying.

It felt like it though. Yeah, well, it was just, if it was me and I walked into a store and I saw the person that I was scheduled to date Sleeping there and I found out all of the employees know that person as the sleeper during this lunch break It would sit still that would be like this is kind of weird I would take a step back and reassess because we've all slept and taken naps in our car before He's actually taking a one-up from us naps in our car before. So I feel like he's actually taking a one-up from us. But you know what we didn't ask though is if he was an ugly sleeper. Because maybe that was it. Oh, mouth open, pull on the side of the face.

I also didn't really understand Brooke's point that she'd saddle up next to him and spoon him. That was for the testing out of the couch. Okay. That's what my husband and I do. We need to know if we both fit on the couch together when we're walking in TV. Oh, that's really sweet. Isn't that important? I see. It's just when I'm looking at the techsport 78592, it is split.

Some people thought that it was weird. Some people are like, that's awesome. Good for that guy. Yeah. And he buys the employees lunch. Yeah. It's not like they're taking advantage of him. Yeah, that's why they let him.

Let's normalize napping in rain Brooke asleep at Old Navy today do not judge You to cuddle up right next to us.
