I know women always think if they put any time and energy into writing something on their dating profiles, it won't matter. Because guys only judge based on their looks. Isn't that how you think? Yeah, ladies. I mean, I've never had a dating profile,

so I don't think so. Are you saying we're wrong? I can tell you. That's kind of sad. That is definitely true for 90-something percent of the dudes out there. But there's a few good ones who remain scattered amongst the crowd. That's terrible.

And they actually read what you write. Yeah. And one of those guys is with us today, and he's getting ghosted for it. His name is Jack. He's getting ghosted because he reads. Jack, I am so sorry that you're one of the good ones. Look what's happening to you. No, it's okay.

I just figured I'm not really the kind of guy that would reach out to our radio station normally, but I figured, what the heck? I might as well give it a shot. People that reach out to radio stations are bad people? What's the assumption there? It is a low point in your life if you have to resort to us.

No, I mean, asking strangers for advice. Let's put it that way. Strangers, I get it. We're starting off on a good foot here. Not even a big fan, asking strangers for advice. Let's put it that way. Oh, all right. Strangers, I get it. We're starting off on a good foot here. Not even a big fan, but we're strangers. So, Jack, before we get into it, what's the name of the woman that you went out with? Madison. Okay.

And what did you like about Madison's profile? Not to make this painful for you to bring it back up again, but go tell us about it. Well, her pictures right away gave me an energy. I could see in her pictures that. Okay. A smile. Yeah. Like a whole package. Like she came off as classy, independent over the pictures I was looking at. Wow. This might sound weird, but she had a lot of friends in her pictures with her,

which meant she's probably very social. Oh, some people don't like that. Oh, don't like it? Well, I liked it because I thought she's got friends, so it made her seem more normal. If other people like her, then there's got to be something good about it. And those are the pictures.

What about, was there anything written on her bio that stood out to you? Yeah, she said in her bio she didn't mind chefing it up if the guy does the dishes. That's a fair trade. That should always be the trade. Yeah, for sure.

I don't mind cooking either, but that seemed fair-minded, so that was another plus. So I reached out through the app and we started talking, and we connected right away. Did you invite yourself over to her house to eat something that she makes? No, not off the bat, no. Good.

What'd you do? We went out to a whiskey bar. Oh, that's fun. I was really pleasantly surprised because I'm a big whiskey guy, and she was into it, and I don't find that that common with women to be into whiskey. But she was. You like a lady with a little hair on her chest. That's what whiskey does for you.

What? Put a little hair on your chest. Oh, okay. That explains a lot about your life. Okay. Well, that's good. That gives you something else to bond over while you guys are out together. Absolutely.

And I realize that since we were aligned like you said it's it was nice to communicate with a grown-up right there was no games whiskey does scream grown-up yeah it is something you graduate to was there any moments from the date that like really stood out as something that was like a big highlight or maybe a weird part of the night a low light well yeah i guess this is the only thing i can focus in on she said something very weird i i want to see your hands i got to know where i want to see my hands yeah like a cop oh like hold your hands show me your hands get them up stop resisting not like that? No, no, no.

But it might as well have been because it took me so by surprise. And I was sitting. We were in a booth, and I had my hands under the table. Okay. So when I realized she was serious, I kind of tucked my hands back into my sleeves, and I just let three fingers stick out of each sleeve. Were you trying to be funny? Oh, yeah, of course.

That's funny. Oh, okay. Why did she want to see your hands, though? What was that? Well, she told me one of the things she wants is a guy with big hands. Oh. Oh.

Okay. Like, I'm 6'2", 220 pounds, and my hands are, like, they're average for my size. Did you know that going into the date that she was looking for that in a dude? She mentioned it when we were talking on the app, but I forgot about it. I thought it was kind of a silly joke.

I didn't know. Maybe it was. She could just be looking for a wedding ring tan line. Oh, yeah. You know, like a sneaky. That's what I thought. Some dudes will take it off. Yeah, or maybe like the whiskey.

Like she thought she was making a funny joke and it didn't come off that way. Or she was trying to be flirty and wanted to hold your hand. Yeah. I mean, did he hit them in his sleeve? I know. Did you ever give her more than three fingers?

Yeah. Eventually, then I just brought my hands out after she left and I just folded my hands on the table. So she was looking for a ring. She could see that I didn't have one. Did you say left or laughed? Yeah. After she hysterically laughed. Gotcha. Yeah, after she hysterically laughed.

Gotcha. Or she hysterically laughed, wait. Okay. I'm just kidding. How did the night end with you and Madison? Well, we took an Uber back to her place. Yeah. And we made out for a while.

Nothing, didn't go any further than that. Okay. But I really like her. So I was really turning up the gentleman vibes high. Like, really high. How do you do that? How do you make out like a gentleman? Is there a dial?

You be a gentleman. You keep your hands to yourself. How's that? You just keep the monocle on the whole time. Yeah, but maybe that's a problem. She likes hands. She doesn't want them to do that. Okay, so how long has it been since that date? It's going on three weeks now.

Oh, that's a long time. Have you texted at all? I've texted her a lot, like a lot, a lot, which is a little stalkerish, but she has not responded one time. Confusing that word? That's not good, brother. How many times? Give us a guess. This could be why. At least 10 times Okay

So we figured 20 days 19 days So 10 times Like not even once a day Math broke my brain Yeah Yeah, okay Well, bottom line is

We need to call her One more time Just to see if she'll answer Because we're averaging 1.82 texts per day right now Yeah It's going to be a real kick to his ego if she answers our phone call

and not his. Well, we're going to find out. I think she might. We'll come back, call Madison, and try and get you your second date update right after this, okay?

Appreciate it. Hold on. Second date update. Some guys will take a woman out and just kiss them like some uncivilized cad with no class, no no tact but not our listener jack he knows how to treat a lady right and kiss like a gentleman oh he smooches while pulling out

her chair from underneath her that's amazing nice technique bro calls her ma'am while he does it No one wants that That's what gentlemen do Well actually I don't know about that I still don't know quite the secret To kissing like a gentleman But that's what he says He says he kissed her like a gentleman Didn't overstay his welcome After they had a fun whiskey tasting date night out

But now three weeks later She's not answering his many many texts Can I ask when you sent the 10 texts were there any like i don't know that somebody could read as like almost threatening or you know yeah or like call me back now no why would i why would i do that just how dare you ask that sorry i just gentleman jack never. It just seems like so many text messages. And I've never done that before. Okay.

Well, love makes you do crazy things. It does. But if it doesn't work out, you can always go onto this website called Gentleman Chat that I found. Oh. And I think you'll fit right in there, buddy. As if you just found it. Yeah. That's cute.

They're looking for kissers like you. Before we get there, first let's call Madison and see if she answers and what she has to say, okay? Okay. All right, man. Three weeks is a long time to wait for somebody you really, really like. So let's hopefully get you some answers here. I'm dialing her number right now. Hello?

Hey, is this Madison? this is hey madison um not sure if you're ready for this but uh surprise you're on the radio surprise hi wait what is this you're on the radio we're a show called brooke and jeffrey in the morning oh i think i've heard of this okay thanks medicine we had somebody reach out to us hoping to get in contact with you oh my gosh right right right someone from my past is looking to reconnect is this my ex-boyfriend dominic did he call you guys well maybe think of a different you're thinking of a segment we do called say yes to the X. We try to get people back together after a breakup. Now, this is a guy you went out with one time who's trying to get a hold of you named Jack. Oh, hell no.

No, no, no, no, no. Oh, no. Is he that bad? Okay, well, the date, I guess the date itself was fine, but the aftermath of what I dealt with was the worst experience ever. Oh, no. Aftermath is not a good word. What happened? I'm sorry.

I never heard that used in a good way. He said he texted you like maybe 10 times. Well, I blocked him, so I wouldn't know. That's why you're not responding. This is all shocking news to us would you mind sharing a little bit about like why you feel that way sure it's really messed up so about oh my gosh 24 hours after our date I started getting this like weird bumpy red rash around my mouth. What?

Oh, no. That's weird. It has to be ass. I'm sorry. We're all assuming the same thing. But are you allergic to any food? No. Like, trust me.

Like, I didn't know what was going on. Like, I tried ointments. I tried Googling it. It kept getting worse. I went to urgent care. Oh, my God. Oh, you're that bad. And even they ask me questions like, i allergic to anything what have i eaten what was my previous 24 hours like a million questions and i i mentioned the date and that

i was making out with a guy and they were like do you know if he has any pets pets any pets that's not what i thought the next question was gonna to be. Why? I said, I don't know. We only went on one date. And then they said that the rash I had was consistent with someone who's been in close contact with a sick animal. That's just funny to hear. And that you contract it from the animal. So I was like, so what, like he's kissing his dog? Yeah.

And they were like, no, it can't be a regular pet. It has to be something different. And they couldn't tell specifically what it was. Like he's kissing sick deer? It's not like if he had like a lizard, if he was like lizard guy. I don't know, but all I know is that he's been mouth to mouth with some sick animal. And that's all I know. I never in a million years thought I'd heard someone say that.

You all people I thought would hear that. Maybe someone who maybe isn't that shocked to hear it is Jack, who's on the other line right now, listening and wanting to talk. Yeah. Oh my God. No. Yeah. That's how this works. No. Oh, my God. No. Yeah, that's how this works.

No. Jack? He has no idea. I don't even know where to begin with this. Wait, do you? No, wait. Hold on. There are so many animals to think of.

Name the animal. I think you should start with, do you know what she's talking about? Yeah. I don't even have a pet. Oh, no. How would I come in contact with an animal that's not a pet? You just said it's not a pet.

From how she described it, it's some sort of wild, sick animal. Yes. Sick pigeon. Have you been on like a walk in nature and had a weird feeling come over you? I jog in the park, but I don't make out with the squirrels. See, so pigeon. I want to 100% believe you, Jack, but it's kind of tough based on the medical...

Why would I put... Guys, this is insanity. Because somebody had an urgent care? These people can't be real doctors. That's why they go to work with an urgent care. Oh, wait.

Whoa. Okay. I don't think that's going to go well. I don't think they're going to do that. I mean, they could get it wrong, though. I will say urgent care did ask me to walk to the x-ray room when I had a broken leg once.

I mean, they do. The more we think about it. I mean, Madison, you're hearing him, I guess, deny it. Do you have anything to say back? There's no other reasonable explanation for what happened. I like how that's a reasonable explanation. We're not trying to be judgmental or anything. What you do in your free time, that's up to you.

Brooke is from Idaho, so we've heard some really crazy stories before. Totally. She's just a roadrunner before. I eat the animals. I don't make out with the animals. Well, you still touch mouths. Kind of close. They are alive when you start to eat them.

Oh, gross. Mom, this one's still wiggling. It's fresh. when you start to eat them so mom this one's still wiggling hey listen guys you could laugh all you want but i swear to you i have not pissed any sick animals or any animals period wild or domestic i mean perfectly healthy bucks out there i don't know of a more romantic line that has ever been said on this show before, Madison. And with that said, we would like to offer to send you out on another date with Jack.

Bump free. Well, I don't know. You didn't ask. It has cleared up, right, Madison? Oh, yeah. Yeah, they gave me some pretty powerful steroids, and after five days, it went away, but it was pretty rough. You may still have rabies, too. Well, sometimes first dates have to start at, like, the lowest level, and there's nowhere to go but up from there.

Yeah, rock bottom. That's a positive outlook. And if you don't get a rash by date two again, then that's how you know it's meant to be. What do you say? I have a question for Brooke. Oh, for me? Oh. Yeah.

What would you actually do in all honesty? She's thinking this over. Brooke, help me out here. Yeah, Brooke, just be honest. It's like when you have a rash, it's hard to come back from that. I just, I don't know. She's speaking from personal experience. I will say, Madison, I do maybe believe him,

and I think maybe you got it from something else that you're just not aware of. Yeah. Right? The doctors could have just been making an educated guess. Yeah. Like, give it a chance. Brooke's not confident. She endorses this relationship, clearly.

So what do you say, Madison? I mean, it's curable. The cord just went away and it's coming back in a week. That's where the dating line is. Is it curable or curable? Okay, here's the deal. I will say yes, only if it happens again, I'm not paying for any of the medical bills or for ointment.

Hey! Now that's a success. And maybe he could go get, I don't know where he could get animal tested, but maybe he could go to a vet and make sure he doesn't have anything. What the heck?

For himself? What a perfect second date. You both get tested at the vet. Yay! Oh my God. You guys are amazing. Thank you. Yay!

We did it. It's curable. It doesn't feel good. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We got a text to 78592 that says, hey, at least he probably kissed those sick animals like a gentleman. Yeah. That's a good point. Gentleman Jack always kisses like a gentleman.

Gentleman Jack with a wild mouth attack. Dude, I am going on to WebMD immediately after this. I got to figure out what's going on. I know. That is so weird. I don to figure out what's going on. I know. That is so weird. I don't know who to believe. Is this a new fear that we need to have unlocked? Probably.

Just don't kiss sick animals. I think we'll all be okay, right? Yeah, but I don't know, just on a personal level, if we've ever had a bigger victory in this segment. Going from, hell no, I've blocked him because I have a rash on my face, to, sure, I'll see him one more time as long as we get tested at the vet. No more rashes, okay. Nothing screams true love like a triple rabies shot together.

There it is, Jeff. No one could have said that better. Imagine they cuddle so much they share lice. True love. I am curious. Text in 7592. Would you date a nice, charismatic, fun guy who's everything you ever wanted, but your doctor tells you he's been kissing sick animals out in the wild?

Is it worth it? He doesn't have fleas. No, not anymore. Yeah, not after the appointment. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. 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 know what? We love that for you. Someone else will, too. Be more you this year. And find them on Bumble.
