What do you do if you've been single for the last few years, you've been on over a dozen dates, on a dozen different dating apps, and absolutely nothing has stuck?

Oh, God. You accept that you're undateable. Oh, no. That's not true, Jose. He was talking to me. Don't butt in. No. Jose, you'd have to actually leave your house in order for that to count as like you trying.

Got it. Get a date. You could become a monk and take a vow of celibacy to make it seem like it was all your idea the whole time. Oh, that works perfectly. I mean, they do have like some of those places, beautiful views. Oh, yeah. Temple. All virgins up there.

Or you could do the most frightening thing in the world, like our listener Rob did, and meet someone in real life. Oh. What the heck? People don't actually do that anymore, actually. It actually seems harder than being a monk. Rob. Yeah, true. You scare me.

Welcome to the show. Thank you so much. Thanks for having Wrong. True. You scare me. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me. Hey. That's exciting. You know, I feel like we've heard a couple of these stories lately. Maybe people are going back to this trend. It's either exciting or a real low moment in your life.

So which was it? No, like you said, I'm just completely done with the apps. Like, no one ever wants to meet up. It's just a waste of my time okay yeah so what'd you do to meet somebody in person what was your trick well normally how i would try to meet someone i'd be like um if you know you were a vegetable you'd be a cute cumber oh oh you'd use a pickup line and i'll say that on a dating app and stuff and i mean sometimes it'll work. They'll respond to me.

And sometimes it just won't. Yeah. Well, you have to not just like jokes. You have to like bad jokes. It's pretty cheesy. Or maybe that one's a little bit too highbrow that they don't understand. Cute cumber? Yeah.

I mean, it's like vegetables and cute all in one. Another one that I've tried before that sometimes works. Excuse me. You seem to have dropped something. Oh, oh, it's your standards. Can I buy you a drink? Oh. That sounds like an insult to yourself. Yeah.

I mean, I'm starting to feel like it's not the app's fault that you're not meeting a lot of people. It's the wrong girl. You need a girl who's like loves that silly stuff brother that's what i'm hoping to find here okay okay so you said that's what you used to do those were your old strategies do you mean that you have like a new thing that you were trying yeah so i found this video online and there was this guy who said that there's just one like super simple trick that you have to do oh okay everybody listening right okay. Everybody listening, write this down.

So you're at, like, a bar or something. You walk, like, right next to her, and then you lean over to the bartender, and you just say, I'll have an old-fashioned. She'll have a rainbow lemon drop. And then just say, put it on my tab. Ah, nice. And then just walk away. Wait, what?

And she's like, ew. Oh. I'm allergic to lemon. She's got a free drink? Yeah, and a gross free drink? Yeah. Like you get a good old-fashioned and she gets a rainbow lemon drop? I think it's just any drink, right?

Like you don't always have to be a rainbow one. Yeah, you don't have to stick with the rainbow lemon drop. Just like some sort of free drink for her. I'm getting something for me. Put it on my tab and then you walk away. Wait, and you think she wants to date you because you bought her a free drink? No, but it's a mystery. So you're going to follow him to find out who he is no that's the best part not having to

talk to the guy who buys you a drink yeah no the guy in the video said that i'm just like you said it kind of creates a mystery you know she's like she's just gonna start thinking about you and thinking about you different than most guys that buy people drinks because most guys will do it and then stick around and be like all right i bought you something now you owe me like 10 minutes of time so did you do this out in the real world so i actually just tried it the other night and it worked damn okay her name was camilla camilla how long did it take for camilla to get the drink and go find you? Literally five minutes. Like, she had not finished the drink. She had it in her hand when she walked up to me.

Okay. Well, and every time she looks down at the drink, she's thinking of you. Well, you must be pretty attractive because you wouldn't do that if someone's not attractive. But like Jeff said, it's so nice not to owe anybody anything for something. You know, like, it's such a relief probably to her. And I don't think it has anything to do with attractiveness it's just like the mystery of it yeah it's like a it's like an ugly guy gave you a drink and then walked away you'd probably be like huh i wouldn't go talk to him no yeah i would but it worked for rob so what how long did you guys talk we were

talking for like maybe 10 minutes or so she said she was waiting for a friend um so when her friend came she did have to leave but okay so she was just i did uh give her or she gave me my number oh sorry she gave me her number yeah it'd be scary if she gave you your number and i texted her and she like replied right then just like like got it. So I know she didn't give me a fake number. Okay. So wait, did you guys go out on a date? I have not heard from her. I tried texting her to try to set something up and I've got nothing.

Okay. And so the guy in the video on YouTube that you watch, he didn't have any follow-up tips? There was no part two, no. But a 10-minute conversation is basically like a long-term relationship in the modern dating world so you've been together for a very long time yeah but i guess we should ask do we know 100 that this camilla girl is single oh that is a risk in this one because you you buy him a drink before you hit on you know before you talk to him that's true i mean i didn't straight out ask her but she was definitely like leaning into it. I feel like I'm pretty sure.

But if she if she was in a relationship, she probably wouldn't have like walked across and tracked you down. Yeah. Struck up a conversation. And her friend was there. How long has it been since that bar interaction? About four days now. OK, not that long. How many texts have you sent?

Possibly like five or six. Okay. Enough. She's definitely ignoring you. That's on the line of maybe too many, but, you know. Maybe she's gaming you back. Maybe this is like a girl strategy to pick the guy back up after you pick her up. But we'll find out.

We'll come back. I hope so. She's like, he'll call a radio station. That's what we're crossing our fingers for. It's all going according to plan. When we come back and call Camilla, try and get you your second date update right after this. Second date update. Welcome, my friends, to today's special edition of how to seduce a beautiful woman without speaking a word to her.

Hey. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the bedroom. Oh, hey, what? Now we're there? Today's pick up strategy comes from our listener, Rob, who tried something that he found in an online video where if you're at a bar. God, with that voice and when you say online video, it sounds like something we shouldn't be talking about. It's a TikTok. It's not like that, but you just go up next to the woman that you like.

You don't talk to her. Just order yourself a drink. Then without asking, order her a drink and simply smile and walk away. Let the mystery do the work for you. Yes. And that was different from Rob's previous strategy, which was to basically use cheesy pickup lines. Like if you were a vegetable, I'd say you were a cute cumber. We started talking to Rob and he's like, yeah yeah it didn't work for 12 years yeah he did 12 years of the same thing he decided to try something different and it worked yeah kind of well the

girl approached him and they talked for 10 minutes she even gave him her number but now she's not calling him back but overall i mean after learning that move rob do you feel like you're more confident in yourself? Yeah, I mean, I think I do. The fact that she walked up to me, like, that's just crazy. That's just crazy. Oh, buddy. You think she's a psychopath.

Is that what you're saying? I think crazy in a good way, Jeff. Okay, good. Not crazy in a bad way. Crazy in love, like Beyonce. Okay, we're going to call her right now. And remember, Rob, wait until we call you in in order to jump on. Okay, we've got a lot of people just springing on the line without permission. Yes, have some self-control over there.

Got it. I don't know, this really feels like a wild card, Jeff. All right, here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Camilla? Yes, it is. Who's calling? We're a radio station called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

Hey, Camilla. Hey. Thanks for listening. Okay. We don't know if you're listening. How can I help you guys? I'm listening now. Well, you went out with a guy who listens to our show. I don't know if you're listening. How can I help you guys? I'm listening now. Yeah, well, you went out with a guy who listens to our show.

I don't know if I'd say that. Yeah, you met a guy. I would say you met a guy at a bar who listens to our show. His name is Rob, and you guys met like four nights ago-ish? Yeah. Oh, you remember him? Oh, okay. Yeah, no, I know who you're talking about.

Okay. Okay. Yeah. No, I know who you're talking about. Okay. Okay. Good. Well, Rob, he bought you a drink, and you guys ended up talking for a few minutes until your friend got there. And he knows it wasn't, like, a lot of time together, but, you know, he was impressed by who you were. We're just wondering what were your thoughts about Rob? He was nice. Yeah. Okay. We always have a bad reaction when the only thing that they say is nice.

First, I just want to hear, like, when he went up to the bar and he bought you a drink without saying anything, what was going through your head? Honestly, I've never had something like that happen to me before, so I was kind of just like, like well he was a little timid about it at first so i didn't honestly know fully if he was talking to me or about me at first but then there really was no one else around us and he just walked away and there was a drink there for me so i was i i was intrigued i was confused but i was intrigued. I was confused.

But I was intrigued. Just how we wanted you to feel. Yeah, it worked. But what's crazy is it came across as timid to you, not as like uber confident. He doesn't know how to pull it off. That was like the trick I made. Maybe he should have done like the Superman pose when he ordered it. Like, I shall have an old fashioned and she shall have a lemon drop. No, but confidence.

Away with you. Confidence is the key though, right? Would that have helped? No, I probably would not have gotten the conversation out of me from that. Okay. So it's not bad what he did. So we're confused why you're not responding. Well, okay.

So I was there waiting for my friend and he told us that okay so when she got there we left we went and did our own thing uh-huh but you know how i said i had never had someone do something like that before um i can't say that anymore obviously because of rob but um i would also have like three more nickels if I said I had a nickel every time that's happened to me since. Wait, what? What do you mean? I don't like the math part of this. I think she means that other people did that for her the same night.

The same exact night. These two other guys came up and did the exact same thing to us, both me and my friend. Oh, my. They stole Rob's move. If everybody uses the same Riz, it both me and my friend. Oh, my. They stole Rob's move. If every time he uses the same Riz, it's not Riz anymore. They probably saw Rob do that across the bar, and they were like, oh, that worked. I think it was at a different place. Yeah, I think it was a different bar.

I don't know. You're doing a good job, though, Jen. But did you go talk to the other two guys? I mean, you only went and talked to Rob, right? Well, the second guy that did it i was like oh hold up hold up hold up i gotta ask where is this coming from because obviously yeah i'm not saying that rob is not possibly a trendsetter in his own circles of life but um i don't think i would be giving him credit for it if i had to guess. Did the guy answer? Yeah.

What'd he say? Yeah, he literally pulled it up on his phone and showed me this, like, Instagram reel. He doesn't say it. Dude. Get the lines right. So another guy ruined it for our guy. Because if you hadn't

known that, if that hadn't happened, would you have contacted Rob? I mean, maybe, but I was just like. You know you would have. I like maybe. Okay. We can work with maybe. And I think Rob can probably work with maybe, too, because he just might be on the other line right now listening and wanting to talk to you, Camilla.

Quick, act nonchalant, bro. Of course he is. Yeah. Rob, you there? Quick, act nonchalant, bro. Of course he is. Yeah. Rob, you there? Yeah, I'm here. And look, Camilla, I am honestly embarrassed. I'm sorry. I did.

I saw it on a TikTok video. I was just nervous. And, like, you were really pretty. I just kind of wanted to see if it worked. Yeah, but, like, how many girls did you try that on? It was just you. You were the first one, and I got your number, and I was so happy, and I'm sorry. That's cute.

I don't know. I feel like some red flags are popping up on my radar here. Really? What, you feel like Rob's a player? Like, that wasn't sincere? Yeah. I don't know at first you think okay this guy's buying me a drink and seems nice and seems cool and then you find out that it's just some dumb guy on youtube or tiktok or instant whatever being like this is how you pick up chicks that was a really good impression and i've never even seen the video

i want you to do these videos i do follow that guy though he's pretty good i i did see you across the bar though and like i chose you i thought you were so cute from a distance and when i got up to you like if you were a vegetable you'd be a cucumber or something oh wait what wait did you like oh my, no, no. That was funny. Like, that seemed way more you than the lemon drop. Interesting. Wait, no.

That's how you should have come up to me. It seems like you dropped something just now because, oh, wait, it's your standard. No, no, no. Wait. Shut up. Shut up. Don't say that. You like that. She's so loud. You like that.

Where was this guy, Rob? Where was this guy? Oh, this is definitely him. Wow. That's old Rob. I guess I'm just a thief because I'm here to steal your heart. Oh, my gosh. Okay, wait, wait a minute.

You might be taking it too far. Okay, sorry. I don't think any of us can take any more of this conversation. I think we just need to offer to send you guys out on another date that we would pay for. If you don't do it, I'm going to marry this man. Did you two just become like the cutest couple we've ever had on the show? A cucumber couple. Cucumber couple.

Oh, God. Make myself sick. That's mine. I'm patenting that, by the way. That's all Rob's line. 100% original. Okay. We would like to send you out on another date with Rob,

or I guess on your first official date with Rob. Yay! If you're up for it. You promise not to just try to buy me a lemon drop and be all mysterious? I can't promise that I won't say some more cheesy lines, but I won't get you a lemon drop. Okay.

He'll be himself. That's so sweet. Perfect. I am not lactose intolerant. I want all the cheese. Yes. Love it. Wow.

I love that. They're meant to be. Oh, my God. They are meant to be. Yeah. It was gouda. It was gouda. Okay.

I can't take it anymore. I can't get off the phone with you fast enough. We're so happy for you. Congratulations. Please keep us updated, but only through email, please. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Oh, my God. How weird was that?

I thought it was so cute. You thought it was weird? Well, just that it worked. Yeah. Oh, my God. I just thought it was just proof that he should have just been himself in the beginning and it all would have been so much better.

But the hardest part about the call is we couldn't say anything to blow his cover. Oh, about the one that he just came up with that one line on the spot. Because in part one, he said that those are the cheesy lines about the cucumber. Those used to be his go-to before he tried. Well, I mean, why would

we call him out on that? Well, yeah. There was just no way to bring it up. And it was like harmless. Exactly. Like, we weren't gonna blow up his spot, but it's just crazy that the old stuff worked on this new girl. Before the next date, I can tell you right now he is ferociously Googling new pickup lines to come up with.

Yeah, as cheesy as they can go. Maybe the key. Because she loved it. Maybe the key is he was doing them over text and DMs, and those types of things only work in person. Okay, maybe. Again, I think I'm going to go back to just be yourself. But sure. As a comedian, I'm like, don't steal other people's jokes.

Oh, okay. Try and be as original as you can. I think that's the lesson that we learned. And another lesson that you learned is you can always email us for help with your dating life. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. 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. Jon Stewart is back in the host chair at The Daily Show, which means he's also back in
