I'll be joined by David Roth of Defector and the writer Edward Ongueso Jr. With guest appearances from Behind the Bastards Robert Evans, It Could Happen Here's Gare Davis, and a few surprise guests throughout the show. Listen to Better Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts from. Meeting somebody while you're working. It's not easy, but it does happen. Yeah, for sure. Why do you think Brooke's not allowed to be out with our radio promo team anymore? I'd like to argue against that, but I get the i get too much team bonding at the megan trainer concert

it's just all about that face today one of our listeners says he met a woman while he was on the clock his name is dylan hey dylan what's up man hey what's going? Oh, you're not one of the kids in promo, are you? Ha. No? No. Okay, cool. Because legally, it would have to work. Yeah. Not a lot of answers.

What kind of work do you do, Dylan? I'm a delivery driver for one of those apps. Ah. You're a busy guy. Oh, Alexis used to be one of those. I did. Okay, so do you drive people around, or do you deliver stuff? I deliver stuff.

Gotcha, okay. So tell us about the person that you met while you were working. I met this awesome, awesome lady named Gia. Ooh. Okay. I like that name. How? Set the scene for us. Okay, so it was really crazy.

Oh, you hit her with your car? Oh, my God. Not that crazy. Okay. So near the end of the night, I got an order from a restaurant that I'd never tried before, and I'm there getting it. And what I do sometimes is I get an order, too, from the restaurant, because I'm already done.

I just deliver the order and then go home and eat my order. That smelled so good. Okay, so you weren't stealing other people's food like Alexis used to do when she was a delivery driver. The cheaper route. Yeah, don't get fries with get fries i've never technically stolen but somebody doesn't get their food it's mine yeah okay okay but this time it was legit you bought your own this is complete legit so i opened the door to this apartment and it's this knockout she's so beautiful and you know i got really nervous and she was washing some laundry and

she's like hey sorry can you just come in and put it on the table here for me what whoa wait hold up i've seen this movie before that's right that's very trusting of her to invite you into her apartment yeah yeah all right so i went in and dropped it on the table and i noticed she had the exact same placemats as i did when i was a kid growing up they're like my mom's exact same placem. So I just commented, I was like, you know what? That's crazy that you have the same placemat that I had when I was a kid. She started laughing. She says, I think I got them at a garage sale. So maybe they were my old placemat. I don't know. We were just joking around. How long were you hanging out inside? Yeah, right. I didn't know I had that much game. These bedsheets are the same thread count as the

bedsheets that I had when I was a kid. And that's when you realized she robbed your mother. Oh, my goodness. It's hilarious. So we talked. We were hanging out and chatting and everything. And then I realized, like, I'm working. I need to get out of here.

So I left. And I walked down the hall. Just, you know, I was all, like, excited. And I remember I gave her my food, too. Oh, you left both orders. i don't have my food at all so i go back and was like i'm sorry i gave you also my food yeah she said yeah and it looked like it was too much for just me and then but she also said that she opened up my food already she's a hungry girl i like this girl that. That happens to me too sometimes where I'll get an order that something that I didn't put on my list and I never like give it back.

I'm just like, oh, I'm going to eat this too. Well, I always also open everything because I want to see what's what. You can take a picture for Instagram. Totally understandable. She'd already started eating your food? Well, she hadn't started eating it yet. She just opened it. Okay.

That's no big deal. So she just went in and closed it up and gave it to you or what? Well, that's what I was thinking, but she said she felt bad, and she said, look, if you're not going anywhere right now, it's already open. Would you like to just sit down and eat here? Oh. You got in.

This woman is smooth. Or Dylan is extremely good looking. Yeah. I'm all right. So you and Gia ended up sitting down to dinner extremely good looking. Yeah. I'm alright. So you and Gia ended up sitting down to dinner inside her place? Yeah. Dude, that's crazy. I mean, what was it like? What was the connection like? This is

a total stranger. Did you help her finish her laundry? I helped her fold a little bit of it. There you go. That gets the ladies. Hello, panties. Let me fold these up. But no, seriously, how was dinner? It was like I'd known her for years. Really?

I don't know. It was really crazy. I've never felt. Are you sure it's not just the fact that you were eating on the same placemats from your childhood that you felt like you knew her? Could have been that. Could have been that. Okay. But you guys had a real connection, you're saying.

Yeah, definitely. And we exchanged numbers. And I think hopefully she calls me back, you know? So that was the date. That was the date, huh? Okay. And have you reached out to her? I've texted and I also called.

So yeah, I haven't heard back. Let me ask. You actually asked for her number, right? You didn't just save it from the the delivery order right no no i said i have your number already is it okay if i call you a text student okay good that's a huge thing because if you're just randomly a creeper texting her it's different did she think maybe it was more of a friend thing or was there definite romance there see i'm really bad at gauging that so i don don't know. I think I get so hopeful that all rationale goes out the window.

So maybe she just saw it as a friend thing. I wouldn't invite a random dude into my house to be friends. It was you, exactly. It's a good point. It was you're really lonely. Yeah, I guess. Keep in mind, the first time I went into her place, she didn't invite me to sit down. It was only the second time when like, when I came in.

Okay. Strange. Was there anything that happened inside her apartment after that second time that you can think was kind of weird that might have been a red flag for her? No, I can't think of anything, no. I mean, it all to me, everything seemed great. Was there a hug or anything at the end of the night

before you left? Yeah, there was a hug. I hugged her. It was just like, hey, it was very nice meeting you. Okay. That's respectful. That's okay. Just like a normal delivery guy hug. Not a central delivery guy hug. Yeah.

Those are the ones that I give out. Exactly. All right. Well, let's play a song. We'll come back. We'll call Gia for you, and we'll try and get you your second date update, okay? Oh, that's awesome. Thank you, guys.

All right, man. Hold on. second date update okay? Oh that's awesome thank you guys alright man hold on second date update did someone order shrimp fried rice with a side of hot chili romance oh it does I would totally get down on that one of our listeners

Dylan met a woman while he was delivering food to her place while he was there he accidentally dropped his own dinner off too. When he realized the mistake. He had to go back to her door. And she'd already opened his meal. So she invited him inside.

To enjoy their food together. Oh. With this music and the way you're saying it. They didn't hook up or anything. No there was no hook ups or anything. But they did have a great time. and exchanged numbers before he had to leave. But now she stopped responding to him. And Dylan wants to know why.

I don't think that works. Isn't that right, Dylan? That is right. I'm glad you're on board, Dylan. Felt hot to me. I mean, it's such a cool story. You're right. Okay. I'm glad you're on board, Dylan. It felt hot to me. I don't know. I mean, it's such a cool story. You're right. When you said that you were excited to tell us, like, I understand why.

It's like a meet-cute, like something you'd see in the movies almost. Yeah, it is a really cute, like modern way to meet. Like, the driver, and I invited him in. But she hasn't responded at all, which is also a modern response. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like the movie just keeps

getting worse and worse. It's turning into a tragedy. As long as it's not a horror film by the end of it, I think we'll be okay. Do you know she was single? I didn't help her fold any men's clothes. Oh, that's good. That's good. That's right, because she was doing laundry when you showed up.

She could have a girlfriend, too. That's true. We're going to try and turn this baby around from tragedy into romantic comedy. Okay. Oh, I like that. All right. With me in it, it's definitely going to be funny. All right, Dylan. Well, I'm ready to call Gia if you're ready to do this. I'm ready.

Okay, here we go. Dialing her number now. Hello? hello hey i'm looking for gia yeah this is gia hey gia how you doing my name is jeff from the radio show brooke and jeffrey in the morning um what's what yeah my name is jeff i work on a morning radio show and somebody said that my food order accidentally got dropped off at your apartment did you get any food recently um yeah no that that part's a joke yeah he's kidding yeah i'm obviously really good with comedy and humor yeah don't let jeff in your house this is a radio yeah this is we're a radio show called brooke and jeffrey in the morning and we're doing something called a second date update that's where if you go out with someone and afterwards if that person isn't calling you back

you email us and we'll call the person for you to help you figure out the reason why okay and so you you met someone recently you didn't really go out on an actual date with them, but they had a nice time with you after they delivered food to your apartment. Yeah, I remember. Okay. Okay. Talking about Dylan here. I'm glad. I'm glad it doesn't happen to every driver that comes over.

You don't invite all of them in, do you? No. Good. Okay. So we have to know because, I mean, that is such a crazy move to invite the delivery driver in to, like, eat dinner with you. Is he just super hot? Because we've only talked to him.

We haven't seen any pictures. He's nice. I just felt bad. So also I invited him in because I had opened his food, you know, and I was like, I felt bad about it. It's interesting she's avoiding your question. Well, no, she didn't avoid it. She said he's nice and she felt bad for him. So girls call me nice.

So you didn't think of your hangout with Dylan as having any sort of romantic potential? Oh, not at first. I mean, he's a really handsome guy and we had a great conversation. Yeah, I mean, Dylan told us about everything that happened on your date and he just like you were saying said that you guys had a great time together he felt like there was more of a romantic connection that needed to be explored did you feel any of that um yes okay what are you doing are you just playing hard to get is that why you haven't answered his calls? Because he said he called you and texted you. I mean, if he had asked me a week ago,

I would have definitely gone out with him. Uh-oh. What happened in a week? That feels like there's an ex. Is there an ex back in the picture or something? No, this is going to sound really weird and random, but I'm dating my Uber driver. What?

This is a joke. Are you serious? No way. You're playing us. No, I'm just like a friendly person, and I meet these people, and they're really nice, and I talk to them, and, like, he got to me first, and I'm kind of a little bit in a relationship, kind of.

You're seriously dating another guy who's an Uber driver? Well, Dylan's not an Uber driver driver he's a food delivery guy okay there's pretty similar uber eats you know they're totally different i will say drop you off by accident twice i mean what was the mistake she has a type obviously yeah i need to ride with you and so you yeah. That would happen to me. And so you're off the market now? Yeah, we're kind of dating. So I just felt a little bit weird. Even though I like Dylan, he's really nice, but I feel like I'm involved, so I don't want to hurt the other guys.

Whoa. Wow. What? I have never had, I mean, not to diss on any of my delivery or ride share people, but I am never in the car with anyone attractive. Or that I find attractive. Do you know what I mean? Well, defense i talk to everyone the uber drivers the delivery so i can see why you could like meet a lot of people i find hot delivery drivers like i'll change before they come to the door i'm like quick how do you know you just look at their little profile window

you're like oh my god he's got a tank top on. He's hot. Wow, you guys are really focused on look. Yeah, we're shallow. Yeah, we're a pretty shallow show. This is upsetting. What do you say? Yeah. Well, I think you need to say what you need to say. I need to tell you at this point, Gia,

that Dylan's been on the other line listening, and he just heard what you said. It's okay. It's nothing against Dylan. I know, but I feel bad now. Dylan, are you there? Yeah, I'm here. Beat by the Uber driver.

Yeah. Well, I gotta say that the way that she's handling all this makes me like her even more. Oh, he's so cute. Are you sure the Uber dude is this cute? I mean, I don't want to hurt this guy's feelings, so i can't really get into

anything else right now okay listen i i know the first week's super exciting you got the butterflies and everything but i have so much more to offer than an uber driver i mean i know that i just deliver food but i also like you know i write screenplays i'm uh i have a whole bunch i do a bunch of different stuff. This was just like a pandemic job that sucked. I would stick with you delivering the food. That would win me over. Do you get discounts on your food deliveries?

Yeah, like 10%. Hey, that's something. That's something there. Dylan, you're so sweet and I appreciate you saying that, but there's a lot of perks to dating an Uber driver as well. I can go anywhere I want basically for free because he'll just show up because I'm his priority.

That is a big plus. Okay, you guys, that's what you do if you're in a relationship somewhere is you drive somewhere for free without charging them. I bet. No, you charge. You charge until it's official. A lot of men make you pay for rides. You'd be surprised. Not to mention, I get free complimentary waters all the time.

Oh, wow. Water. I can get you water. I can get you lemonade. I can get you Diet Coke. Coke Zero. Oh, wow. That's a good point.

He can probably get you a Baja Blast from Taco Bell. And he can get it there before the ice melts even. We'll see what happens. And if it turns out that this guy is not the best, then I will reach out to you. Oh, man. Who's going to come out on top here? Is it going to be the Uber driver or the food delivery driver? Who's going to win over Gia's heart?

Dude, the gig economy is getting intense. I'm going to tell you that right now. I will make a point. Uber drivers can drive at any time of the day. Delivery is tough at 2 a.m. to pick up orders. So I think Uber driver drivers got more hours. Well, I always need to ask this. Gia, we'd like to offer to send you on another date with Dylan.

Oh, a delivery date. A normal date, and we will pay for it. Sounds like you guys had a great time together, and maybe there's more that you guys can do. Listen, I have to try it out with my Uber driver first just to see how it goes with him because he deserves that kind of respect. Okay, you're right, you're right.

Respect the driver. Yeah. Well, I'm not ruling it out. I'm definitely not ruling it out. Okay. Oh, she's so nice. There's a chance. If it's okay with you guys,

we're going to just follow up to see what happens here if gf if you end up sticking with your uber guy or if maybe you find a better thing with dylan yeah okay or if dylan forgets the chopsticks yeah maybe give him a bad review we want to know hey that reminds me uh will you rate us five stars please absolutely not you guys didn't help me at all. Oh, come on. Bad service. All right. Well, two-star rating, I guess. There you go.

I got to tell you, if I get an order delivered to your apartment, anywhere on your block, I don't think I'm going to be able to do it. Oh, wow. Here's your fried rice with a side of tears. Now we're turning on the main screen again. 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?
