Listen to The Daily Show Ears Edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Second date update. I was curious recently and Googled how to get your first date back to your house. Oh. What the heck, bro?

That sounds tricky. Like you're trying to trick them into it, Jeff. Then I had to go back and add the word willingly. Thank you Bunch of other stuff came up with portals to the dark web So I was like, yeah really probably shouldn't go that route You did that on the work computer to didn't I did yeah HR wants to come at me go find me somewhere else But there's a lot of ideas online once you put in the correct search about

grabbing coffee or drinks at a bar close to where you live. Yeah, that's a good way. Make it easy. Oh, because you're like five minutes away. Or tell them about a pet at home that you'd really love to introduce them to. That would work on me. You have to have a pet, though. That's true. Make sure that you're checking all those boxes. It's a pet

lamp. I didn't mention it. It's right there in the corner. But apparently none of that is better than what our listener kevin said he did he told his date about a hobby and that's cool i don't even know what it is but apparently it convinced her to go home with him to check out his place so let's learn about it kevin welcome to the show hey guys excited to hear about what your hobby is, Kevin. Yeah. Well, why don't we go back to the beginning. Tell us about the woman that you met.

What's her name? Yeah, her name is Meadow. She's really cool. Meadow. I like it. That's unique. Did you guys meet on a dating app, Kevin? Yeah. Yeah, we definitely did.

Yep. Okay. A dark web dating app or one of the normal web dating apps? The normal one. Okay, good. Dark web, too. That'd be amazing. Cute place to meet. How were you feeling about meeting up

with her before you guys saw each other? Yeah, I mean, she's awesome. We both like cosplay and War of the Rings. She's got a similar interest. So what did you guys do for your date? Yeah, we decided we were going to go catch some drinks and and we did.

We hung out there for a while. It wasn't too far from where I lived. And was that planned by you, Kevin? Well, it certainly was easy to get there and easy to get back, should it go that way. Okay. All right. What a good thing to have. Such a politician answering that question

all right so what's this hobby that you brought up that convinced her to go back with you it's really cool i don't know if you're big on tiktok or whatnot but there's a trend happening right now called fridge scaping is that are you guys familiar oh yeah i know fridge scaping it's like a playoff of landscaping because it's like making your fridge. Oh, the inside? Yes, the inside looks so beautiful where you put all of your vegetables in an open container and you make your herbs and your spices. Oh, I love when people do the soda rack shelves and they're all organized by color.

No, it's more than that. You put flowers sometimes and photos. It's like feng shui, like fridge shui. It's cool, but it is, no offense, a little bit weird, Kevin. I've never heard of it. Why is it weird? Because you're not putting any actual food in your fridge. I'm sorry.

If you find a single man that doesn't have just an old slice of pizza in his fridge, you're winning, Kevin. Kevin, why did you do it? What made you want to Fridgescape? Well, I am a huge fan of Lord of the Rings. Like, as I mentioned, a lot of my house is pretty decked out. I'm like, why am I stopping at my fridge? So wait, is there a Lord of the Rings theme to your Fridgescaping?

Kind of. It's like kind of like Rivendell in Lord of the Rings. One of the things I did is I found this hydraulic pump that I created a waterfall that kind of runs over my fresh fruit. A waterfall? What? Yeah, it just helps rejuvenate the fruit. Yes! I would for sure go back to see that at a guy's place. Oh my god. All I have is a

carrot crisper where I put my carrots in water. I need a waterfall. Yeah, you need an eye of Sauron at the top blinking. Not in my fridge. He is not welcome. Okay. This is just the good parts of the Lord of the Rings galaxy. No wonder she would go back to your house.

Any of us would. Wow. So you brought this up to her before you went back to your place? Yeah, she was like, totally, I'll see that. She loved the waterfall. And then I also built this tree house that has a nest that the eggs actually sit in. Brother, there's an egg nest. That's amazing. I love it. this like tree house that has like a nest that the eggs actually sit in are you sure that she liked it like for real or was she just being like oh okay this is i mean it sounds like a lot like a

big how could a fridge like this be a turnoff the woman's into cosplay she's into it it sounds like i mean what do you think kevin that's the thing honestly i mean i thought she She is into it. It sounds like. I mean, what do you think, Kevin? That's the thing. Honestly, I mean, I thought she was like into it. We were there for like 20, 30 minutes, like looking at everything. And I even like let her kind of rearrange stuff. And I don't let anybody mess with my art usually. Oh, yeah. Well, she's probably just trying to find

some actual food in there that she can eat. That's not part of the decoration. Well, I mean, she placed it nicely. It looked good. What she did. I was like, okay, yeah, I approve. I approve. That's so funny. I have a random question. Does it smell okay?

Yeah, you have to be up with it. Dude, this immediately signals a man who has clean sheets, okay? A man who is put together, who's on time for dates. I feel like that would be a good thing, I bet, for her. Sure, Brooke. I could see you being best friends with this guy. I don't know if that means that you necessarily, yeah, if it's the most

romantic sort of situation. I feel like it depends on how much time he puts into this. You're worried the fridge is getting more attention than you, Alexis? Am I getting taken to waterfalls or is the fridge getting to waterfalls? Kevin, do you think that could be a possibility a possibility I mean that's kind of what I'm wondering but like she seemed like she was like in awe like she was impressed and like we we went and watched a movie we watched some Lord of the Rings and it was only for like 20-30 minutes and that's the

thing I'm like she said she was tired and I was was like, oh, crap. Did I, you know, did I overdo it? Well, you both already watched that movie, so it's like. I did really well. Yeah, I got three and a half hours. I mean, dating is tough. Yeah. And even when you fridge scape as well as you possibly can, sometimes women still aren't impressed. Hey, but even if she doesn't like you, buddy, you got a girl back to your house. You spent great time with her.

Everything was fun. I know we're supposed to get him another date, but all I want is pictures of this fridge. I know, I really want to see it. Brooke might even want to hire you after this to fridge scape for her. She wants a mashed potato mountain dinner. We're going to come up with some ideas for Brooke's fridge scaping,

but in the meantime, let's call Meadow for you and try and get some answers when we do your second date update right after this. Okay, cool. Thanks, guys. Hold on. second date update right after this okay cool thanks guys hold on second date update when you think about the top qualities women look for in a man confidence kindness oh yes the ability to turn the inside of a fridge into an exact replica of

middle earth with a working waterfall to keep your vegetables fresh. Unbelievable. Not exaggerating, because one of our listeners, Kevin, is actually doing just that. Seriously? He's into fridgescaping, which, if you didn't know, is where you decorate the inside of your fridge with flowers

and pictures and all sorts of beautiful things. Don't make it sound so mundane. Well, no. It's extra. Kevin takes it to a whole new level with a Lord of the Rings theme because he loves that trilogy. And that's how we got a woman named Meadow to come back to his place to check it out. Yes, who wouldn't?

Wow. Go back to his place to see it. I'm serious. Who wouldn't want to do that? Yes. I'm serious. Yes. Who wouldn't call Meadow that? I'm serious. Yes. Who wouldn't call Meadow right now?

Put her on the radio. Thing is, it didn't last very long because 20 minutes into watching the Lord of the Rings movie, she bailed. Yeah. And has not been staying in contact with him since then. We're trying to help him figure out why. Yeah. Wait, Kevin, we never asked. Are you on social media with your fridge?

Oh, yeah. You are? I post it quite a bit like honestly it brings a lot of people quite a bit of joy like gets lots of likes and like oh that's a great thing do you know if she followed you she hasn't oh oh that's disappointing it's kind of rude yeah because i can guarantee she found it yeah oh yeah oh this is kind of a side off note do i have permission to call her your precious for you? No. And do the impression.

I hope. I hope I get to that place. You hope I get. Oh, that's easy. She's into cosplay. I forgot. That's not funny then. All right.

We'll use it as a last resort. If everything's going south, we'll bring Smeagol into the equation. I don't know if I can do a good Smeagol. Nobody charms like Smeagol does. I mean, that is the biggest turnoff ever. That's plan B. Let's start by reaching out to Meadow. Hopefully she paid her phone bill and

answers. That's a weird thing to say. You're worried about her phone bill after all this? I don't know. Why are you going to get a money shamer? In this economy? Who knows? I need you to stay quiet here, Kevin, until we find out what's going on with her, and then you can jump in, alright? Okay, cool. Alright, here, Kevin, until we find out what's going on with her, and then you can jump in, all right? Okay, cool.

All right. Thanks, guys. Here we go. Dialing right now. Hello? Hey, is this Meadow? Yeah, who's this? What's up, Meadow?

You're on the radio right now with a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hey, Meadow. Good morning. The whole show's here. How you doing? Hi. This is kind of weird. Oh, don't say that.

We are kind of weird. I mean, I would be shocked if a radio station called me and I work at a radio station. Is this real? No, for real. We're a radio show, and we're doing a segment called The Second Date Update. And we're hoping to get some answers from one of our listeners that you went out with named Kevin. Oh. Oh, okay. Do you remember Kevin?

Yeah, no, I remember Kevin. Yeah, we went on a date. Right. What did you think about him? I mean, he was really sweet. He was like a nice guy, you know, easy to talk to, really clean, like organized more than most guys I date. You know, it's like hard to find a normal guy.

Oh, anyone that can fridge scape. Right? Yeah. Did you bring that up yet, the fridge? We heard about the fact that he decorated the inside of his fridge with like a Lord of the Rings theme, and it sounded like you thought that was pretty cool yeah i had a feeling he had probably mentioned that to you right oh my god tell us about it from your perspective i mean it was beautiful like he's very talented i mean i was really impressed i'm even better than

i imagined oh so it didn't weird you out at all? It didn't weird me out. I just felt like it could become a thing that could be an issue for us in the future. Just because it already kind of was an issue that first night. What do you mean? That night? What are you talking about? So he showed me

the fridge. It was really cool. I was really into it, which I did not expect to be as into it as I was because it could be weird, but it wasn't. Um, and then I asked to go to the bathroom and there was no toilet paper there. Um, and he let me know he was running low, but he had a roll of toilet paper in the fridge. I thought he was using it for like a hobbit home. And I mean, it was cool. He had like fruit and vegetables leaning against it. It was like very intricate.

That was the only toilet paper he had? Yeah, that's the thing. Like I asked him, I was like, okay, well, can I just use the one in the fridge? I saw there was one in the fridge. And he offered me a rag. He was like, can you just use this rag instead? Ew. He tossed you a rag? I was totally grossed out. I was like, I'm not doing that. can you just use this rag instead? No! Ew, he tossed you a rag?

I was totally grossed out. It was, I was like, I'm not doing that. And then he was like, okay, well, I guess you can use it. So he like made this big to-do about unassembling. He gave me this like. Oh, that's even worse. Oh no. It was so awkward. It just like ruined everything.

And I was like, this is our first date. Doesn't he want to make a good impression? And then he prioritizes the fridge over me being comfortable. Like, you know, but he thinks of himself as an artist, you know, like it's hard as an artist to change something. I mean, I wasn't going to use the whole thing. He took it back and put it back in the fridge after I want to put used toilet paper in the fridge.

That's actually kind of gross don't it yeah it's not like there's any food in there that you're actually eating though it's mostly just decorative it's a piece of food in there yeah well i don't know we should ask kevin about it because he's the only one that knows for sure and i do need to let you know meadow he's been on the other line listening to this conversation oh my god yeah yeah kevin are you there yeah hi kevin sounds like you're kind of regretful well i mean you guys just kind of tore my my creation apart i mean oh we didn't do that it's not like i used the used part of the toilet paper roll to put back in there. She used that and flushed that. Ew, there is a used portion?

No, he just said that you didn't. Oh, gosh, sorry. You're an artist, and you put a lot of effort and time. He put three hours of work into the fridge scaping. He only put like a half hour into your date, Meadow, so you haven't earned it yet. Oh,ffrey that is not what he's saying is it no i'm just saying the hesitation obviously came from there was a lot invested in the the hobbit hole and that's why i offered the rag i mean babies use reusable diapers you know cloth as an option i mean all

i'm hearing right now is excuses of like why this is okay for you to do. Like you invited me to your house. Wouldn't you want me to feel comfortable in taking care of? And like, if it's just the first date with the toilet paper, then what does that look like further into a relationship? What other things would get prioritized over your partner? Well, now that you know how important my situation is with the fridge and, like, all the things I placed in it, like, maybe next time, maybe you could bring your own toilet paper. And then, you know, that's not an issue. No, maybe next time you can have toilet paper for your guests in your home. Or for yourself.

That's a good point, Alexis. Like, what are you doing, Kevin? He's got the rag. It's okay. He washes it. What? I'm sure he washes it underneath the waterfall that goes over the broccoli what it's a water he's a problem solver kevin the the solution to this is to buy toilet paper that's it that's the solution i do buy it

i just happen to use a lot of it in the fridge. I go through it like crazy, and there's a lot of moisture in there, and it gets absorbed. I mean, buy more then, Kevin. Go to Costco. That's what they're made for. Less hobbit holes. Yes. I mean, Kevin, what she's saying, and I think what a lot of women want on a first date is they want a guy who feels like they're being prioritized over the other things going on in their life,

even if they do spend a lot of time and effort into it. Like, that's all she's saying is that she wants to know that you're going to put her first over your fridge. Well, then she shouldn't have came back to my house because I was prioritizing it before she saw it. You did say you wanted to go back to his house to see the fridge, not to use his bathroom. So there's some shared blame. I think we can all agree. I blame the hobbit hole. Okay.

A lot of holes to be blamed here. I don't think I have any blame here. Meadow, maybe you don't. Maybe you do. But either way, how about you make it up to Kevin by saying yes to another date? That is like the surest way to get a no. Well, hold on. That's just Jeffrey's sarcasm

taking over. If I'm doing it wrong, then that's on me. Kevin, take it away. Well, honestly, now that this fantastic option was presented to me, I'll get a Costco membership

if you say yes. Oh, you're changing. Wait, what? You're offering to supply the toilet paper for the date? You didn't know you could buy in bulk then? No, I've never been to Costco.

Sounds excellent. Oh, no, that's a red flag. Dude, there is so much stuff for you to Fridgescape with in that Costco. Oh, my God. He's going to go crazy. No matter what, Meadow, we would like to offer you that date, and we would pay for it. You know, at this point, this just feels like too much for me,

and I feel like it's just going to get worse once he gets to Costco. Like, he didn't even seem to understand without you guys coaching him why this was a problem in the first place. Kevin, man, it sounds like a no. I'm sorry, dude. It's your loss. Like, don't even think about following my account on social media. Oh, that's why it's hard to guess.

That sounds like a threat. Sick burn from a fridge scaper. That's hard to do. That must sting. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. That sounds like a threat. Sick burn from a fridge scaper. That's hard to do. That must sting. Isn't there a famous saying, never get between a man and his eloquently decorated fridge? I've never heard that one. I think that's Socrates. Yes.

Very famous. But sounds like in the end, Kevin is probably going to be okay. Oh, yeah. He's preoccupied. I think all he needs is his fridge. Yeah. I'm shocked that he even is his fridge. Yeah. I don't even, I'm shocked that he even is looking for a romantic partner.

Well, there is going to be a woman who shows up at his place one day and she'll say yes to the rag. Oh, no. You hold off, Kevin. She is out there waiting for you. I don't know that that's the woman he wants. He just needs like a wilderness woman who's going to bring her own Swiss Army knife and toilet paper and everything with her. Yeah, I would just

drip dry. I mean, that would be mine. Oh drip dry. Hey, you're having to do it. It happens. Her husband has to clean it up off the floor. It's fine. The point is there's someone out there for all of us. Sometimes multiple someone's. Right, Alexis? I mean, if you say so.

Yeah, and we want to help convince that person or people to date you so you can email the show and we'll call those people that person or people to date you so you can email the show and we'll call those people or persons who aren't calling you back john stewart is back in the host chair at the daily show which means he's also back in our ears on the daily show ears edition podcast join late night legend john stewart and the best news team for today's biggest headlines exclusive extended interviews, and more.
