I'm Emi Olea, host of the podcast Crumbs. For years, I had to rely on other people to tell me my story. And what I heard wasn't good. You really f***ed last night. It felt like I lived most of my life in a blackout. I was trapped in addiction. You had to grab the lamp and smash it against the walls. And then I decided I wanted to tell my own story.

Listen to Crumbs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You guys know this old, old song? Isn't it Holiday by Madonna? I figured Brooke would probably know it. It's Holiday by Madonna. My mom jams out to it a lot so yeah it makes sense it was before my time thank you very much all right sure yeah i'm just more burst in music history okay can't stop bobbing along to it for some reason for the longest time i thought that this was about like a vacation and partying with your friends is it i was wrong what is it about it's actually a love song about one of our listeners

whose name is holiday that's cool we haven't had a holiday on our show before and holiday wants our help getting her another date so holiday welcome Holiday, welcome to the show. Hi. Hi. Hi. So, were you, like, born on a holiday? Yeah, where's your name come from? Why'd your parents decide on that one? Well, it was, like, they put a bunch of names into a hat, and they just pulled it out.

Oh. Wow. That's a sweet story about getting your name chosen. All right. It was picked at random. It could have been Monica. It could have been Lemon. Yeah. There's a lot of about getting your name chosen. It was picked at random. There's a lot of options in the hat. My parents, they might have been inebriated.

But I bet your name gets you a lot of attention on the dating apps. Yeah, you could imagine. I hear you met a guy on a dating app. Who is he? I matched with this guy. Can I see his name? Yeah. Absolutely. Okay. All all right his name's evan and not a very fun name he's really fun anyway so we met and like all the guys asked me on my dating app they're like what is with your hair because i have a

different hairstyle and color in every picture i love w wigs. Okay. It sounded like a rude question at first. So you have like a whole collection of wigs? I have about 25 wigs. Oh my god. I think it just adds flavor and fun and I've got to live up to my name. Okay. So how do you choose what wig

you're going to wear on the date? Whichever one speaks to me. They all have different names. Oh, you have talking wigs? That's amazing. Well, they're all girls, and they all have different attitudes, and so it depends on how I feel that day. All right.

So who went out with you to meet Evan? Who was your wing woman? Your wig woman. Your wig woman. That is funny. Wig woman. I've got to use that. Okay.

Sure. So who was it? Lana. She has bangs, and she to use that. Okay. Sure. So who was it? Lana. She has bangs and she's really cute. Okay. She's sassy. Youthful. What type of hairstyle is Lana?

Yeah. Lana is kind of like a bob, a little longer, but she's just cute and like spicy and futuristic. And the bangs is the future. Blonde, brunette. Blonde. Blonde. Okay. Platinum. Platinum blonde.

And so what did Evan say when you first showed up? I mean, he seemed to like it. He was a lot of fun. We went to, we arranged a date to go to an art gallery because I love art. I'm kind of eccentric, if you could tell. And I just like kind of being in that vibe. Did he enjoy the art gallery? I know sometimes art can feel intimidating to people.

I think he had a good time but when we first met like you know i'm very kind of gregarious and i i'm a hugger so holiday's a hugger yeah and just going back what does gregarious mean because we i don't know i'm a little lost on it no shut up you know outgoing okay oh happy i've literally never heard anyone but i'll take the SATs for a second. Okay. So you guys are in the art gallery together. Are you two looking at paintings together?

Are you talking? I told him, you know, he seems adventurous. I said, we should pretend that we're one of the artists. And he was like, oh, okay. Because it's kind of contemporary art. Yeah. So we could very well. It's not like a Rembrandt or a Van Gogh.

So we could very well be the artist there. You Rembrandt or a Van Gogh, you know, so we could very well be the artist there. You'd be alive, so that would be the first step. Was he into that idea? He was totally up for it until I said,

just let me take the lead, you know? Oh, wait, you pretended to other people that you were the artist? Oh, yeah. Oh. You're like,

okay. That could be fun, though. It's like, you know, playing a character Or it could be fraud or something I mean, at an art gallery It's not like she's charging people to sell her paintings Okay, first of all, you need to relax It wasn't fraud, I was just having fun

Okay Sorry for Brooke Well, what did you do? There was like a nice couple there And I went over to them and i'm like hey you like my you like it and then they said oh are you the artist i'm like oh yes so i like pretended i was the artist and asked you where i got my inspiration from and you know and with the wig i just felt extra spicy that day oh yeah i mean i could see where you could play up different

personalities when you have a different wig on. Hair makes such a difference on how you feel. Yes. I told you. Anyway, we did it for a while, you know. So then the end of our night, like we said goodbye and he gave me a kiss on the cheek. And of course, a holiday love hug. So I gave him a big hug. And holiday loves to talk about herself in third person.

Okay. Well, it sounds like it ended well. I'm not getting a good read, though, like, about your guys' connection on the date. It sounds like you just pretended to be other people. And connected with strangers instead of each other. I think so we connected. And, like, he was saying,

oh, we should go here, we should go try this coffee house or whatever. He was, like, saying all these things, like, we should do this, we should do that. So I... Oh, that's good. Clearly, he was interested. I haven't heard from him and I don't know

what's wrong. Oh, interesting. Has Lana heard from him? Yeah, maybe he put a different wig on when you tried to call him and that was the problem. Bunch of voice message and text for Lana. I haven't thought of that. What hair are you wearing right now? I'm wearing Bethany and she's like long

curly dark hair. Okay different vibe more serious. Yeah okay we might need her but we might need Lana too so have her at the ready just in case we need to switch in the middle but we're gonna call Evan for you and try and get you your second date update right after this all right? Thank you. Okay hold on. Second date update. If you're just joining us we've been talking to a woman named Holiday about her first date with Evan. And Holiday, just talking to you, it's clear that you have a lot of personality. Yes. And some guys might be a little bit intimidated by that.

Well, I mean, it was almost like he was on a date with two people. Right. Because Lana was there, too. Because you own 20 wigs with different names and personas for each one. Yes. Are you paying attention, Holiday? Yeah, I'm here. Are you talking to one of the wigs?

Maybe. You tell her to keep quiet. I heard a backup. Yeah, Fiona, leave us alone. We're trying to help Holiday with her dating life. Okay. But, Holiday, I mean, you're an art lover who sometimes lies to strangers and takes credit for paintings you didn't really make. And these are things that certain men, weaker-minded men, might shy away from.

Do you think that might be a possibility here with Evan? I hope not. I mean, we were totally vibing. And he matched my energy. That's why I was kind of upset that I mean, we were totally vibing, and he matched my energy. That's why I was kind of upset that I haven't heard from him. Well, that's a good sign. And he also pretended, right? It wasn't just you. You said that you both pretended to be artists.

Yeah, I mean, that's what he said he wanted to do, and so we pretended we were the artists. It was so much fun. Did you just put on a different wig just now? Because you sound a little bit different. You know, I'm just trying them on Just trying to feel the vibes for today Well, I think we need to stick with Lana for now

I was wearing Bethany, but yeah, okay Okay, well, maybe we'll talk to Bethany in a little bit Hi, Bethany You're nice too Hi Okay She's the same person Just a little bit, you know, brings out one personality of hers more than the other.

Yeah. Yeah. So we're just going to call Evan and see what he thought about your date. You ready to do this, Holiday? Call him. I'm going to see what's up. Okay. Oh, we got a little more sass in there now.

Okay. Let's just do this. Hello? Hey, is this Evan? Yeah, this is Evan. What's this? Hey, is this Evan? Yeah, this is Evan. What's this? Hey, Evan, my name is Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Okay, I never heard of you guys. Well, my name is Jeff, but some people call me three-day vacation.

What? Not a full week. Oh, my God, like holiday? Are you joking? Do you know my friend, Holiday? Oh, my gosh. I would not have gotten that. That was the worst joke in the whole world, Jeffrey. Even was like a bad let's see what evan thought about it evan yeah yeah he loved it that's it's right i think he loved it um so no seriously you went

on a date with one of our listeners named holiday recently we want to ask you about it you want to ask me about a date i went on with Holiday? Yeah. Yeah, it sounds like a really interesting night with a very interesting person. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. And it's all part of a segment that we do on our show called A Second Date Update. So we're trying to help Holiday out and figure out if something went wrong on the date or if something's going on in your life because she doesn't know why you're not calling her back. Yeah, she said you guys were vibing. Yeah, Holiday, she's fun. and I'm a fun person, too.

That's the reason why I kind of thought that we would actually really do good together. Okay. Oh, so you liked her. That's great. This is all good news. It was something where we went to an art gallery, and for the first part, it was great.

And there was a moment where we were just looking at art and everything was cool. And then he was like, well, let's pretend to be artists. Yeah, she mentioned that to us. And she said that you were into the idea and you played along. Yeah, well, see, the thing is that I was playing along with it because I thought we were just like pretending to be artists to each other. You know, I didn't know. Like maybe you like you were just being artists like, oh, look at this work. Can you believe the lines on this?

Oh, look how my paint stroke was here or whatever it was. You didn't know that it was going to be a public presentation that she seemed to be. Yeah. Let me tell you, it was awkward because I had just turned for a second and she was talking to a couple. And I thought nothing of it. And then she kind of like waved me over there and I started walking over there. Then she introduced me as the co-artist.

Oh, wow. She just put you down like that? You're just a co-artist? I hope the little plaque had two names on it. Yeah. It'd be outed pretty quick. But that was, to me, I was like kind of shocked. That was what got kind of weird for me. And I didn't know what to do.

So I did go along with it, but she was talking to him for a while like okay it looked like she gave him a card like a business card like I don't know I don't know it looked like she gave him a card or something but to me that was kind of strange I didn't I didn't want to like my mind immediately started thinking of like I don't want to say this I don't want to like yeah up to something weird but it gave me identity set vibes or something like that. Well, and, like, how would she have a card? It seemed like it was, like, this impromptu thing. Like, idea, funny idea.

And then you're saying maybe she revealed to them who she really was and gave them a real business card? But it's not funny at that point. Is that what you think? I don't know. But to me, it was kind of weird. It's like, I don't want to get involved in anything. It was, like, kind of sketchy. Like, the whole thing. Like, I could see with her w know, but to me it was kind of weird. It was like, I don't want to get involved in anything. It was kind of sketchy, like the whole thing.

I could see with her wigs, and then every wig has a name, and then she goes to the artist. Oh, identity theft stuff because of the different... Oh, I didn't even go there. Oh my God. That is an interesting thought. Did you ask her what was on the card? At that point, I was so weirded out about it,

and I didn't even want to be a part of it it was like autopilot from there like i was okay well we're getting into some like serious talks here some almost accusations being thrown around and i don't think we should speculate and talk about it anymore let's just ask holiday directly because i need to tell you evan she's been on the other line listening this whole time and and she wants to talk to you. Oh, man. Holliday, are you there? I'm here. Hi, Evan.

Hey, how you doing? How are you? Oh. I was better until this phone call. Oh. Oh, I didn't know. I wish I would have just been brave enough to tell you what I was thinking, but, man, I feel kind of weird right now, kind of awkward.

Yeah. But that's not your bad. I mean, you could understand, Holiday. Like, that does look pretty questionable. What was happening? Well, I mean, I don't see anything wrong with it. I make jewelry, okay? And when I go to these things, I do pass out my cards.

And there's a lot of rich people that buy these crazy art pieces and it's my way of building my network and i sell jewelry and i want to sell to those people so wait your card has your real information on it like it says holiday artist it doesn't have a bunch of bank names no uh-uh maybe a couple but like nicknames but i don't see anything wrong with that either. What does that mean? It does have nicknames or it doesn't? Okay, a couple. Like, it depends on like what I'm selling. Like, what kind of jewelry I'm selling. If it's kind of like wacky, crazy jewelry, that's when Sapphire comes out and her name's on the card.

But if it's like Lana, it's more serious. Like, you know, sterling silver. So each wig has a different type of jewelry that they make? Yeah, I mean, I'm up to like six different types. There's like a surfer type. There's like an earth girl type okay okay evan see that sounds like the type of woman that you want to date oh i think that i think she said enough i kind of like just put icing on the cake for the reason why i didn't call you back oh that's great because i bet one of her personalities sells cakes to rich people too i feel like women already have seven personalities, but you can tell now if she has a

wig on, which one you're getting. Yeah, you get home and she's wearing the red wig, you're like, she's mad. It's not a surprise. And Evan, I would think of it more as like a branding thing for her, right? Like she's selling jewelry and it's got different vibe, different energy to each one and so she's just putting a name to that.

Like she wasn't lying to you, right? Well, I think she has so much energy that it's just putting a name to that. Like, she wasn't lying to you, right? Well, you know what? I think she has so much energy that it's just overwhelming to me, that kind of thing. You know, like, her energy is... She is a genius. I thought your energy matched mine.

I thought we, like, vibed so good, you know? At a point. But then once we started doing the role-playing and taking credit for other people's artwork and then, like, looking kind of sketchy with the car passing out, which you didn't tell me what you were doing so I was only left to assume

but the roleplay could be good in other ways exactly I think Evan needs some wigs so that he can match his energy with some of her energy like you need some more names too Evan yeah dude Evan needs a wig we can give you a long long one you'd be like Blake

that's the surfer vibe she was talking about. He could be Bevan. Bevan! That's hot. That's hot. Evan, I think you should give it another chance.

I mean, if anything, you get a great story out of another date with this lady. And you know, she's not doing anything illegal like you were worried about. A holiday sounds fun.

You know what? I am kind of tempted to say yes because this has been just turned out to be actually more lighthearted than I thought it would be. And to give you a little bit more incentive, if you do say yes, we're going to pay for your next date. Do you need to give him like 20 gift cards for different restaurants? Howdy, would you want to go on another date? Well, he's asking. Wow.

You're taking my job, bro. That's what I'm supposed to do. I like it. Take charge kind of guy, Holiday. Wow. I know. Yes, I want to go out another day. And I'll bring Strawberry.

She's pink. Oh. Cute. Strawberry. I don't know if Evan can handle Strawberry. Maybe we go back to. I like it. Is there like a Delilah or something in there?

Maybe I could add a Delilah to my collection. Evan, let's go out. Okay. All right. All right. Wear a rainbow wig. That would scare me. Why does he sound scared?

He sounds terrified. I don't know who you're going to be going out with soon. And please keep us updated. We want to hear the story because I know it's going to be a good one. Yeah, regardless. Got it. Thank you. I think we were talking to Evan at that. It doesn't matter.

Oh, sorry. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Well, this time it worked. Oh my god, we have to get an update from them. Yeah. We really need to get an update because Brooke used her classic good old girl next door line where she tilts her head to the

side and shrugs her shoulders and raises her voice a little and says, you know, I'd give her another chance. She's got 18 wigs and 18 personalities and lies about who she is for her own financial gain. But you know what? It could be fun. It's just a business move. Listen, as a woman, everybody knows how you just change when you have a different hair. Well, good hair day is a huge.

Yeah. Like I've gone brunette. I've gone red each time. Different, Brooke. Yeah. Yeah. Whenever Brooke says that, the guys are always like, oh, yeah. Okay, Brooke.

And next thing you know, you're being trafficked in the cargo hold of an oil tanker over to Kazakhstan. All because Brooke said, oh, just give it a chance. That sounds like a cruise to me, Jeff. I'm just saying. that you just described. I don't know what the problem is. You have a lot of pull here, Brooke. And maybe you shouldn't say that to every single person that we have on the phone. She was fun.

Gosh, people take life so seriously. She just having a good time. Living life to her fullest, man. Yeah, I'm just saying, how many of our listeners go missing just because Brooke goes? Just try it. What could go wrong? That's why we don't do so many update updates. Exactly.

They never come back. But if you would like to be one of those people that Brooke strong arms for, then email the show. That's right. We'll call that person who isn't calling you back. Give it a chance. It's fun.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. 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.
