But that's not the case here. In this one, the guy has moved in with her and is paying her entire rent. What? I don't get it. That's not a date. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

I was like, what the heck? They're not that close at all. But Megan. Oh, I want to do this one, though. Megan, our listener, wants our help because the guy is asking her out. She's just not interested in the type of date that he has in mind. Oh, interesting. So she wants our help.

Megan, welcome to the show. Hi, guys. How are you? Good. You're doing all right. I'm really curious about this conundrum you're in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, so I met this guy online. We were chatting for several weeks. Okay. What's his name? His name is Finn. Finn. Okay. Yeah.

I don't know any Finn. So it was kind of drawn to him by a unique name. And then, you know, we're getting to know each other over a course of several weeks chatting online. And one of the things he mentioned was that he had younger sisters and that he's protective over them. So I felt like this is a guy that knows how to be respectful of women. But he's an older brother, so it's still questionable. Yeah. I mean, the younger brother always because he's been beaten down.

The older brother, it's really a crap show. Could be a little controlling. Exactly. Or he could just be a jerk to us. I mean, who knows, right? Yeah, but I have to find that maybe he has that, like, more of that alpha big brother presence. I'm attracted to that. Oh, you like that?

Okay. Yeah. So, anyways, for our first date, he actually invited me over to his house, which is not something typically you do with somebody that you've met online, right? Well, not what beta men do, but alpha men. They invite you right over. It's actually a den. I believe they call it a den. Yes.

So you felt comfortable doing that. You felt okay with it. I did. I did. I felt like I got to know him well enough online that I felt fairly comfortable going over. Yeah, that's good. It was interesting, you know. He gave me an address to go meet him, and I'm driving

into the neighborhood. It's a really beautiful neighborhood. Pull up to the house, and I wasn't really sure, like, am I at the right destination? It was a beautiful house. It was a house. It's not an apartment, huh? No, it was like a huge... It was like, I guess it could be considered a mansion. Whoa! Like a nice house. Okay. Like, it was like a huge, it was like, I guess it could be considered a mansion. Whoa.

Like a nice house. Okay. Like it was a serious house. I mean, it turns out that his family is very well off and his parents allowed him to rent the house from them. Oh, so it's mom and dad's house. Got it. We use rent, I'm sure, in quotes, right?

Yeah. You owe me 50 kisses this month. That's right. You know that's right. No, meet, in quotes, right? Yeah. You owe me 50 kisses this month. That's right. You know that's right. No, meet me in the West Wing. Well, if you get to reap the benefits of that, then go for it, I say. I mean, it was awesome. So you're impressed walking up to the door.

Yeah, I mean, you had a whole game room. I mean, there's like a billiards table, like a shuffleboard. We played all these things. There was a bar, like a full stock bar with beer on tap in it. What was he like? Like, it's great that he's rich, but what was your vibe with him? No one honestly cares. Tell us more about the house.

Did you ride cartwheels in the living room? Do you take hoverboards between all the rooms? No, I want to know if you guys got along. Yeah, he's casual. He wasn't like stuck up or snobby about it. He's like, oh, let me to know if you guys got along. Yeah, he's casual. He wasn't like stuck up or snobby about it. He was like, oh, let me show you around. That's good. Nice. Making small talk. What was the most romantic

part of the night? That's what Brooke wants to know. Yeah, sure. I would take dinner. He ordered in from a really, really nice steakhouse. Oh. Wow, he ordered delivery. That's cool. From a steakhouse? That's a steakhouse steak two filet mignons and lobster

tails big flex but he had set it up um an outdoor patio and he laid out the table and everything and we had like a beautiful view so that was like the most romantic part of it that's better i was gonna say it sounds lazy he wouldn't take you to a steakhouse but that's pretty nice like and this man wants to go out with you again why are are you talking to us? This sounds amazing. Well, so after I left and we had a great time, he invited me over again for a second date. Awesome. But I had actually suggested us going out somewhere and like having fun and, you know, maybe dancing a little bit. But he was really adamant about going back to his house.

Is it like sending you red flags that he's like trying to keep things secret or something? Is he like famous where he like literally is like, I don't want to draw attention? See, I was thinking married, but. Yeah, not famous enough if she doesn't know who he is. Like there's not paparazzi on the side. You don't want to hang out back at his house? I mean, it's not that I've minded, but it just seems weird that he was, I mean, just his tone, he was very specific about just staying in at his place.

Yeah, not a good sign. Well, maybe he has a second parent's house that he wants to show you that's even better than the first one. That's true. Oh, man. Are you worried that it's like too good to be true? Well, I can't tell, like, is he hiding me or is he trying to just get in my pants and he just wants to get there quicker? I have no idea. Well, Alexis will tell you that's not the worst thing in the world.

Yeah. Especially if it's a rich guy. At least it's a nice house. Yeah. Okay. So even though he is reaching out and asking for a date, you want a different type of date out in public. Yeah. I want like a social date.

Yeah. Go to a restaurant. You just want to find out why why why he's so adamant about the house we have a mystery and we're putting on our sherlock holmes costumes as we speak i'm not gonna do that i'm dr watson i'm not doing it this time the whole detective attire is coming out and then when we come back we're gonna try and get you your second date update right after this. We're on the phone with one of our listeners named Megan,

who went out on an interesting first date with a guy named Finn. And Megan, there's something that you mentioned when you wrote your email to us that you didn't talk about in the first part. What's that? Because you said that you had your first date at his place, which turned out to be this really big mansion that his parents owned. You got steak dinner ordered in. But in your email, you said that Finn cut your steak for you. Aww.

Is that a sweet thing or is that a creepy thing? What? I think it depends if you ask. I hate cutting my own. No, I'd rather someone else cut it. Well, that's probably because you order it super well done and you have to use a chainsaw to get into it. Why would you do that?

What was your read on that, Megan? At the moment, I thought it was kind of endearing because the food is actually delivered with plastic flatware and he took out actual steak knives, so I thought he was doing it to be courteous and nice and serving.

He was like, here comes the airplane. Which also I would love. Jose just wants to be a giant man child. I really just want to take care of a girl. But did your mind change about it? It sounds like you were going to say but. I mean, when you say it out loud, yeah, it sounds kind of creepy, but

in the moment, it wasn't that way. It felt fine in the moment it wasn't that way. It felt fine in the time, in retrospect. Right. You probably should have just handed the knife to you and let you cut it yourself. Well, I think Alexis is right. You ask. Like, some girls, like Brooke, are like, ew, I can cut my own steak, man.

It's just I'm not a child. I don't want my whole meal. But then Alexis is like, I love it. I feel like it could have been a chivalrous move. And let's call this chivalrous man and find out for sure. Because the weird part is, he is asking her out. He's just not willing to go away from his house. He wants to keep it kind of secret.

This is going to be a weird call. Can I dial the phone number for you, Jeff? You know what? Thank you for asking. You don't ask. I thought you just did it. You go ahead and dial the numbers. No, you do ask.

That's what I was saying. That was really sweet, Jose. Dial the numbers for me, and we're going to call Finn and talk to him. Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Finn? Yes, who's speaking? Hey, sorry.

I hope this isn't a bad time. Hi, Finn. Hi. You're on the radio right now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Excuse me? Who is this?

We're a morning radio show. It's called Brooke and Jeffrey. We're doing a segment called a second date update. We're reaching out for one of our listeners who you went out with the other. Well, I guess not didn't go out with you stayed in with at your house. You guys had a date. Her name was Megan.

Okay. I don't, I don't understand. Why is she reaching out with you stayed in with at your house. You guys had a date. Her name was Megan. Okay. I don't, I don't understand why is she reaching out to you? Why are you calling me? Well, apparently there's a little bit of a miscommunication because you are asking her out on another date. You just don't want to go like out,

out in public with her. Yeah. That's just sending up some weird vibes. Maybe. Is there, is there like a reason? No, it's just,

um, I'm just trying to, uh, you know, get to know her more. That's all. Okay. And why,

why your house every time we heard your house is beautiful. I mean, yeah, dude. No. Yeah. Great. It's a great,

yeah. It's a great place. So, you know, what's the problem, right? Well, it just seems counterintuitive,

because normally people want to get to know someone before they invite them over, but you want to get to know her before you go out in public. Yeah, but we've talked a long time online. We really got to know each other. Yeah, that's good. She mentioned that, and she said she really likes you, but one of the theories that has been circulating around here is that maybe you're trying to hide her. Hide her?

Yeah, you don't want anybody to see that you're out with her. No, not at all. That's good to hear. Okay, so post a picture of you two right now. She's great. That's cute. You said she's great? Yes, absolutely.

I mean, she's beautiful. So what's the problem? Why won't you take her out? Like, that's what she would really like. Well, I mean, I... Are you, like... You sound like something is there. You know what's going on.

You just don't want to tell us. Are you married or something? Is that what it is? What is it, then? Look, we're assuming the worst of you. If it's something that simple, just clear it up. It's easy. Well, it's not simple, but it's just stupid.

It's stupid. That's great. We love stupid. Yeah. We're experts in stupid on this show. I'm so stupid, bro. You're going to make me feel comfortable, guys. No, no.

It made me feel good. You laugh, Brooke. You're going to laugh at all. It's the truth. You're trying to make him feel comfortable, guys. No, I just... You laugh, Brooke doesn't laugh at all. Is it true? Well, essentially, for the next six months, I'm not allowed to leave the house. Ooh, strict rules from your parents? Why?

You can't live under their house, right? Is it why we think? I'm under house arrest. Ah, that's what I figured. Okay. What did you do? Is it for something really bad or just like kind of Well, it could be too bad or he'd be

like in jail, right? It's stupid. What'd you do? I don't even know if I could say this, though. You've already been sentenced. You can't get more house arrests for just telling people what happened. Basically, me and my buddies, we got together to pretend like we were the village people.

Wait, what? I like this. I work in TV and film, and so I had a police uniform, and my buddy has a construction worker uniform. We all got together. We pretended like we were the village people to play at this casino so we show up and they're like uh no you're not the village people right because the village people are super old you guys are dead so let me see if i understand what you're saying. You and your friends impersonated a famous band to get money from a casino and you got caught.

Well, I mean, yeah. So what is that? That's like defrauding a company. Yeah, that's it. It doesn't matter what the charges are, really, because I'm on house arrest and I can't go anywhere. Okay. She was going to notice if you ever got intimate because that angle bracelet is... Well...

Well... Yeah. Oh, yeah, I didn't think about that. Can't hide that one. Yeah. Here's the good news. I know you didn't want to come out with the truth to Megan, but you kind of did. Yeah, it's true.

What do you mean? I didn't tell you this before. She's on the other line listening. What? Surprise. Hi, Ben. Hi, Megan. How are you? I mean, I wasn't really expecting that as

a reason why we couldn't go out. If I'm relieved that you're not married or have a girlfriend or. Are you? Is this a better option? House arrest is a six month. Yeah, well, you know, it's like it's so stupid. I don't I don't want that to be our first thing that we're talking about.

I'm just like, oh, God, how do I do this? I mean, Megan, now you've heard the real reason that he's not calling you back because he's a secret village people impersonator who defrauds casinos. Is that a turn off to you or is that a turn on? I mean, I guess just going back to our first day, I don't know why you didn't just tell me. Well, it's not exactly something you lead off with. You know, hey, by the way, you know, I'm a criminal. I'm currently under house arrest. Doesn't sound good.

I mean, like, with the second date, like, you're inviting me back, right? And if I did go and we kept the charade up, I'd eventually find out. No. No, you wouldn't have found out. What? How would she not found out?

No, I mean, because you would have never seen the bracelet. How? What? I don't want to. You got a lot of work. He wears snow boots everywhere. Maybe they put his monitor on a different part of his body. I don't think that's how they work.

Some place you'd never find. It's not a good sign if you can't find that part of the body. I'm just going to say it's not a brag. She's like, do you hear a beeping? Yeah, I mean, I just think that it's weird that you think that I wouldn't find that part of the body. It's not a brag. Do you hear a beeping? Yeah, I mean, I just think that it's weird that you think that I wouldn't find out or not. I think you should have told me. Yeah, I know. It's just

not something. I'm just embarrassed by it. I didn't want to tell you. Well, that makes sense, though, Megan. You can see that. He's finally, at least, it took a lot of prodding, but he did finally admit the truth to you, Megan. He's come clean. Would you like to go out on another date with him?

We will offer you a gift card to his house. No, I think we just have to get postmates. Yeah, exactly. Or we can pay for the Uber to and from. How many more months are you still on your house arrest there, Finn? I got three left. Okay. Just three more months of dating at his house, and then you can go out somewhere.

Yeah. Go back to that casino and do the village people thing together. Yeah, no, that's off limits. I can't come back there for a few years. Okay. Well, maybe just do it at a bar or at a senior home or something and work your way up. But we'd like to get you guys back together. Yeah, I mean, it's not like a deal breaker for me.

I mean, to be full honest, I've been binge watching Animal Kingdom. So I'm all about, you know, criminal stuff right now. Hey, all right. Animals commit crimes, too. Zebras look great in black and white. Yeah. So is this a yes for another date? Yes, that's a yes yes i think they're both

all right well uh we'll get you back over to finn's place yeah awesome i can't think of a worse endorsement for online dating then screw it i'm not going to meet somebody else i'm just going to keep seeing the guy who's under house arrest for the next three months he had had a pool table. Oh, that's true. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Man, you know, the more I think about it, the more I'm not sure if she should have said yes to another date with him. Just now.

Just now you're feeling that. Well, I wanted to be happy for them, but now, I don't know. Okay, listen. I've dated a felon. Is this a brag or an embarrassing thing? No, but he was honest about it from the beginning. Like, that guy was just, he would have never told her. He even admitted that. Yeah, three months left, there's no way she wouldn't have found out.

Right, and the guy sounded like he was in his early 30s. So that's usually the time in your life when you stop making really stupid decisions. Like, I get the idea of him and his buddies at a bar one night being like, you know what would be really funny? Let's all dress up like the village people and try and steal money from the casino. That's where it should have ended. I don't even get that part. Was it like a really bad

Ocean's Eleven dream? That's not how Brad Pitt and George Clooney did it. It's a guy thing. You kind of joke around about stuff like that, but you don't actually buy the costumes and go to the casino and actually take the money. He already had them. I mean, to be fair.

Oh, okay. Because he works in set. Maybe there was a little legitimacy to this then. But remember, if you ever want to get a second date update, you can always reach out to us. We'll call that person who isn't calling you back. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Ugh, we're so done with new year, new you.
