Brooke, if you were single and on the dating apps right now, some of them ask you to be kind of punchy and fun on your profile. Yeah. So give me a couple sentences for your bio that you think would attract a man. I don't know.

It's just, it's all so generic that comes to my head like adventurous. Lame. You know it though. You can say that after. Lame. I love food. Feed me. I don't know.

That's my number one thing. Maybe your sarcasm and pessimism in the bio would be attractive to a guy. I would say optimistic. Wink, wink. Oh, no. That was a sarcasm. That's just kind of confusing. I feel like I'm optimistic.

I don't know why you always say I'm pessimistic. Wink, wink. Is this girl in escort? Yeah. Well, I bring it up because one of our listeners, Dan, says he met a woman online. And, Dan, I'm curious, what was in her bio that drew your attention? Well, yeah.

So, first of all she was very attractive and she just had a very inviting vibe okay okay and she was funny too like she said she was into good stories the outdoors and sourdough bread interesting yeah she's into making sourdough bread that that is an art. What's the funny part? Well, she said that she's TSA pre-checked. Nice. Like us, all the cool kids have that. I think so. I mean, I got it too, but she was very demanding

and said, I can't go out with anybody that's not TSA pre-checked. But it also says about you that you're well-traveled, right? Because if it's a priority for you to get that done. Well-traveled, but also impatient about traveling, too. I just don't want to take my shoes off. We never got her name. What is she called?

Her name is Covina. Covina. What a pretty name. Sweet. Sounds exotic. Yeah. What did you say to her to get her attention? Well, I said that my passport only has two pages left on it.

Oh. That's a cool way to say you're well-traveled. I'm still looking to find my next adventure. A little cheesy, but she liked it. Hey, she went for it. What can I say? Yeah. Yeah, there you go.

If it works, it works. If it works, it works. So what did you end up doing for your date? We matched, and we went to a bar. Okay. She recommended the place. It was a nice place. Yeah.

Keep it simple. Keeping it simple. There was some food there, or so I thought. But when she first arrived, she walked in and her hair was different than the pictures that she had online. How dare she? I hate that. I would have laughed. I want to marry one hairstyle for the rest of my life.

You're a liar. Like a different color? I don't think he's saying it's an issue, you guys. I know. I'm just messing, bro. Did you not recognize her or something because of it? It took me a second. And also, her hair was shorter.

She had, like, a short kind of crop haircut. Okay, cute. And she looked really good. And I just never thought in a million years that I would be into a woman with short hair, mainly because my mom has short hair. Oh, yeah. That makes sense.

But totally different from my mom. And it was, you know, like, really good. That turns out to be the case usually. A lot younger than your mom. Please don't tell me you told her that you know, it's like really good turns out to be the case usually Please don't tell me you told her that like dang you look good way different than my mom. I kept that to myself How was the bar oh good they were actually doing a charity night You know why do you say oh like that, Jeffrey? Like down. I don't know.

Charity just doesn't sound like that sexy. Come on. Drink for charity, Jeff. It depends what it is. This was definitely a good cause. They were doing half of the proceeds going to Kids in Need. Oh, shots. Let's do this. Yeah.

That's interesting. It's a very generic cause, but I like it. Oh, now Brooke has problems with the. Well, you know. It doesn't sound like you did a very generic cause, but I like it. Oh, now Brooke has problems with the... Well, you know. It doesn't sound like you did a lot of research, but okay. It doesn't sound like you knew that that was even happening when you went there. No, but Covina and I actually kind of had a little inside joke out of it. Like, as we got each round, we would say it like,

oh, we better get wasted for the kids. Yeah. That's the first thing that I thought. That's kind of cute. You have an inside jokes already. It sounds like you guys are really vibing on this date. It was.

Now, I will say that we did get a little out of hand. I mean, we definitely both had a few drinks. See, I almost asked because now you feel like you need to drink more

in a sense to help as many kids as you can. Yeah. Otherwise, it looks like you don't like kids. Yeah. Oh, you're only having one? Ew. It just seemed like the right thing to do.

And then after about four drinks, I called the bartender over and started demanding that they serve us sourdough bread. Oh. You know, like a medieval knight. I shall bring the lady the bread made of sourdough. Yes. That's not, no.

It's thoughtful, right? The voice, though, I think is what Alexis is into. And calling over the bartender. I don't know. She just, she started saying like, yes, unhand thee thy sourdough bread. Oh, she was on the same renaissance sourdough bread jokes as you. Like I said, it was a little goofy, like you called it. So did security throw you out then or did it happen after this?

No, no. Overall, we had a great time. We ended the night responsibly. Started getting some waters and sobering up. Boo. Well, the bread helps too. Yeah, a little something to coat it all. and sobering up. Boo. Well, the bread helps, too. Yeah, a little something to coat it all.

And walked her out to her Uber, and while we were standing there waiting, we had a nice conversation about just the mistakes that we made in life, our dreams. So you ended, like, with a three-minute super serious conversation. See, this is what happens when you sober up and eat bread. You should have gone harder on the drinks, man. I know.

I'm kind of with Jeff. Did you not make out? No, there was a hug. So have you heard from her at all? A little bit. I mean, a couple very short text responses and mainly try to make plans, but it's just kind of like, yeah, I'm busy.

I'd like to know why she's brushing me off. Me too. Yeah, sure. Weird. I wonder if you didn't get wasted enough for the kids. Yeah, I don't feel wasted enough to do this call. Let's play a song and take some shots. Yay, Kiri!

I like the eating bread part too, though. But that doesn't help the kids, Brooke. Let's get drunk for the kids and get your second date update right after this. Second date update. When a dark and handsome knight is at a rectangular table, not a round table. No. Rectangular because it's a bar. And he drinks too much grog and pounds his fists and demands sourdough bread be brought hither. You know that's a man who commands respect

and delicious gluten for his fair maiden. Or gets kicked out of the bar, which he didn't do, luckily. But that is what happens when you drink too much. You start to sound like you're from the Middle Ages. Is that what happens to you? I don't think that's very common. It's what happens

to him. Maybe I haven't drank as much as Dan did. He had four drinks. I think you've had four beers. Maybe they were doubles. Okay. Or triples. Oh, beers.

But he realized that something weird was happening. That's why towards the end of the night, both Dan and Covina sobered up before grabbing their Ubers. Now, we will command her in an English accent to go out with Dan once more. I don't think that'll work. That's what women respect in a man. I think we're going to go with an ask politely and respect your boundaries. Yeah, that's actually what we're going to do, Jeff. Oh, really?

I guess King Arthur should have asked politely to storm the castle and take over the kingdom. Is that what he should have done? I think Guinevere was probably in charge then, so it's fine. This is Dan's second date, though. Dan, how would you like to handle this? I see what you guys are doing here. What are we doing? I don't.

You're trying to send me in on a Trojan horse of sorts. We are like a Trojan horse. We've gone from the Middle Ages to ancient Greece. I'm going in under the guise of this radio station. And as soon as we get into the conversation, I'm going to burst out on the scene. Yeah. I like your plan better than our plan. Let's Trojan horse this girl.

Just don't pull out your excalibur. Don't Google search that. I don't even know what it means, but I'm just going to go with don't. Or at least if you do put parental restrictions on the search there we go let's just call her on the on a cell phone all right we're bringing it back to the modern times we're dialing a phone number let's do it hello hello is this covina uh yes who is this hey my name is jeff from a radio show you've definitely heard of before it's called brooke and jeffrey in the morning look at you demanding hi covina hi um what what's going on what's going on is we're doing a a radio segment called a second date

update is that oh okay okay um because we're trying to help out one of our listeners who you went out with the other night named dan oh wow okay um oh wow is right dan is quite dan sounds like a cutie you guys had a good time uh yeah we yeah we had a really good time great well we'd like to set you up on another date oh we're gonna keep this short and simple i like it well she said she had a good time no problems whatsoever am i right covina yeah at the beginning like she was chill and funny but the end of the night was a little bit weird for me okay what part of the end of the night was a little bit weird for me. Okay. What part of the end of the night?

Well, I guess when we were waiting for our Uber, we were just kind of talking about how crazy dating is and like sharing some of our experiences. And he said that he had actually cheated on one of his previous girlfriends. Oh, no. Oh. Yeah. It's a state conversation. i mean right at the end with an impression to leave you with i mean well why why was that bad i'm just curious uh i guess like i know everybody has their stuff but he mentioned that he was like really drunk

when it happened so that is a red flag for me because I feel like, I don't know. I just, like once a year, always happen, which means that I'm not actually responsible for it. Okay. Well, Covina, if you couldn't tell that, that's Dan who's been listening

politely on the other line. Yeah, I was glad to hear that you had a good time. And I really don't, I'm really sorry that if I may, if I give the impression that I intend on repeating that behavior in any way, I just, you know, some things just happen when alcohol is involved. What? Yeah, but you still take responsibility for them. I do agree with that.

It happened a long, long time ago in a galaxy. No, I don't know. It happened a long time ago. Don't go into Star Wars. I'm getting some mixed messages from Dan. Yeah. I can't tell. Dan, I feel like I just need to ask you this question.

Are you drinking right now? No. No. Officer. Okay. I have not had a drink since earlier this morning he's joking that's a joke i don't know i guess when i had my coffee hey oh i like it i'll take a second date kavina is this helping or hurting? Where are you at? I mean, I'm pretty, like, I feel like it's worse if you're drunk. Because at least if you are sober and it happens, you know, that could be, like, an issue that we could work through. There's, like, some underlying stuff.

But if you're drunk and you cheat, like, I'm always going to worry that every time you have a drink, it could happen again. Wait, wait, wait. Covina, you prefer sober cheating to drunk cheating? I do. You think that's better? I mean, none of it's better. Like, all cheating is bad. I don't want anyone to see.

But if I had a preference, I think I would rather you have been sober because then we could like work through it. Dan, can you agree to stay sober when you're unfaithful? That's what she said she wants. She's talking about why she had a problem with Dan's story, right? Dan, what do you think of that? Yeah, I agree that it is never okay to cheat. If you commit to someone, you should honor that commitment. Unless you're drunk and you can't help it. Is that what it is? Sometimes you're just impaired and you're not in control. Covina, have you never lost your inhibitions around alcohol? I mean, I have, but I've never cheated on anyone, so I don't know

what you're trying to do here. Yeah. Some people lose their inhibitions. They have one too many desserts, and they're like, screw it, I'm going to go to McDonald's on the way home. You jump into a pool fully clothed, which is crazy. You don't jump into bed

with somebody else because you can't control it. It's a pool of women. I mean, it feels like, Dan, that you can't take it. What it sounds like, I'm guessing for Kavina, I could be wrong, Kavina, is that you can't take responsibility for your actions. I don't see it that way.

Yeah, see, that's the issue. I mean, if he's drunk, of course he's not going to see it that way, but if that's the issue. I mean, if he's drunk, of course he's not going to see it that way, but if he's sober, he probably could. I'm starting to see her point. Well then, Covina, can you make your friend list visible on Facebook? Make your friend list visible?

That's an interesting question. So wait, I'm confused. Just saying, if you want me to cheat sober, you know, might as well be with people that you know. She says it's not that she wants it. It's just her philosophy on cheating. It's her preference. It would be better.

I was kidding. This is why you don't do what ifs on a first date. Like, what if you cheated? Like, how are we already there? Yeah, we're not doing what ifs on a first date. We're doing what ifs for the second date. Okay. That we will send you on and pay for if you're up for it, Covina.

What do you say? Sober or drunk, that's up to you. Yes. Just no cheating. Listen. Can I say anything else? Can I say anything else before she answers? Well, I'm worried.

I don't know. I don't think it's going to help you, dude. No, no, no. I think it will. I think it will. I really enjoyed talking to you. I felt like opening up and telling you the truth about my past because I felt comfortable around you. You felt drunk is what you felt. Oh, Jess, let him talk. Let him talk.

Okay. I would like to get to know you better in a more lucid setting where we don't have to keep kids alive by drinking shot after shot. The kids charity for the bar. Keeping them alive. Are you sold now, Covina? Yeah, that's a weird invitation. It is, but I

did enjoy talking to you too. I'm in a good mood today so I think it's a yes. Great. Cov it's a yes. Oh, great. Colvina's drunk, too. Well, you guys are perfect for each other. Good one. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

You know, I really wasn't kidding when I said she must be drunk when she agreed to that second date. I know you all laughed, but... No, I'm actually shocked. Could that guy have been any more bizarre with us during the call? Asking for the Facebook friends to be released and i mean i get it he was trying to be funny and jokey making bad jokes dude and the renaissance accent yeah yeah we should have known that was bad from the start i mean i like it i thought it was all funny but just two people with kind of unique views on life and unique senses of humor. Sometimes they end up just being perfect for each other.

I don't know about that, but they end up going on another date. We can call it that, Jeff. Meanwhile, her take on that she prefers to get cheated on by a sober person than by a drunk person. Does anybody in the room agree with that? We really didn't get to talk about it because we were so stunned. Alexis? No, absolutely not. I'd rather like a drunken random hookup happens. I feel like

that would be easier for me to forgive, but only if the guy doesn't blame it on alcohol. That guy's excuse was so lame. Yeah, exactly. I just say don't cheat ever. That's a tall ass, Jose. It's dating, Jose. Well, if you ever slip up in your dating life, not necessarily cheating, but you want a little help, email the show.

We can call that person who isn't calling you back. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Ugh, we're so done with new year, new you.
