When you're on a dating site, the first thing that everybody notices or wherever you get your podcasts. So annoying. How is there still a truck in the background? I know. There's not even water around us. Or, you know, they're out hiking on some trail for that one day that they went hiking. Or it's just them laying on a giant pile of cash. Oh, yeah, that happens too. I don't see those enough, actually. Oh, okay. You're the wrong algorithm. Meanwhile, for women, it's photos of them hiking, eating a really nice fish, and then handing over a pile of cash for a new handbag.

But we believe those pictures. Those are the true to life. But one of our listeners, Josh, has emailed the show after he saw a woman's profile pic online, and it sucked him in instantly. Really? But now he wants our help. Josh, welcome to the show. How's it going, guys? Dude, I'm so curious about the pic you saw.

What was it? I mean, How's it going, guys? Dude, I'm so curious about the pic you saw. What was it? What about it sucked you in? Okay, well, her name is Erica and she was volunteering for Habitat for Humanity. Oh! What are you doing on here renewing our faith in men right now? Is it that you're attracted to the fact that she does charity work or you

just like the fact that she was in a hard hat and with work like, work gloves on? Like, you like a girl that's good with her hands. She can build a house. Because that's my fantasy for sure. Oh, God, Jeff. All of the above. It is cool that she was doing something good

for other people, but she also, I mean, I don't want to say, I want to front. Like, she looks really good, too. He's like, show me your calluses, girl. I like how Jeff's fantasy is, like, girl dressing up like Bob the Builder. Yeah. So you reached out to Erica.

How did that go? It went good. We talked for a bit and eventually decided that we would get together. We went out for some coffee. Okay, so you're keeping it casual. And what was it like that first time you saw her in person? It didn't disappoint. I mean, she was just as beautiful

as she was in the profile picture. I don't know why I picture her showing up to coffee in, like, a flagger vest. Me too! I'm the same! Josh just had it in his backpack. He's like, hey, girl, put on these gloves. That's awesome.

Did she seem excited to see you too? Like, not disappointed? Why do you always phrase it like that bro i couldn't read into her hat or anything like that but she seemed fine okay good she didn't gag no oh i know so look we only were there for 20 minutes but it didn't end there so maybe that's a good sign oh that is a good sign okay coffee was the first stop what was next yeah we just uh well we're really close to the park, so we ended up deciding to just walk around and continue talking.

Okay. As of now, this date sounds great, because if she didn't like you already, she would definitely not have hung out with you after the coffee. A hundred percent. Yeah. And I'm going to ask you the same question that I asked my grandpa. How did walking go? Did it go good?

Well, my hip hurt, you know, a bad back i'm sorry no no no we chatted and um it was just a really good conversation what'd you connect over um just life i mean like you know she's going to school wanting to do more with herself i wanted to do more for myself as well. And then I found out that she's into traveling. And that's kind of one of the reasons she signed up for the Habitat for Humanity. Okay. Cool. I mean, that's awesome.

And you sound like a guy who is a really good listener. Like, you'd be someone that asked insightful questions. Like, I think that's all positive. Was there any moments, though, that stand out as being kind of weird or kind of awkward to you? Just one. So we were walking, and I guess I wanted to impress her. So we were passing by this bank. A bank. A bank, okay.

And there was a guy handing out balloons. So I don't know why I thought this would impress her, and I thought it would be funny. But I picked up one of the balloons I gave her one I took one and then I proceeded to like suck up some of the helium and sang her a little bit of Prince's Little Red Corvette. You sang with helium? You don't think that's funny Alexis? No. Like I literally didn't even laugh at all. Is that because you don't know the song? Is that why? Well, I don't know that, but also. Maybe it's funnier with the helium voice because it sounds a little bit more like Prince.

Yeah. I mean, what was her reaction when you started serenading her? She kind of looked at me a little awkwardly. Like, I think she might have been a little embarrassed. She was like, is this a 1970s song? But I kept going. I committed to it 100%. And then she gave me a little bit of a laugh.

Okay. Okay. So you just kept going until she made a sound? I could see how maybe that would be a little bit uncomfortable. That's a deal breaker. No, it doesn't sound like it. It's like a balloon killed her father. I'm with you, Jose.

In a bad helium accident. I mean, everybody's made a bad joke on a date before. Oh. I'm with you, Jose. In a bad helium accident. I mean, everybody's made a bad joke on a date before. Oh, I make them all the time. So how did the date end? Well, I took it to her car, and oh, God. So maybe there was two. Uh-oh. I sucked into a little bit more helium and just said goodbye one more time.

No, you didn't. Don't. That's the helium. That was his closer, Alexis like it's not hot it's gonna be funnier when i do it the second time okay so so what's happened since then have you been staying in contact with her or oh yeah no so we've still been in touch with each other via text okay yeah i don't know just maybe she's not feeling me the same way as she was before by how we're talking to each other. Yeah. Well, and I'll say you didn't leave her on a good note.

Right? Like, that's how you remember somebody. Not on a high note? Exactly. How you close the deal. And, like, instead of remembering you as this, like, masculine, awesome dude, it's like a 14-year-old with bad jokes, you know? Well, we're going to find out. We're going to play play a song We'll come back. We'll call Erica for you and we'll try and get you a second date update We all dread it the first date joke that doesn't land.

Hey, you want to share these oysters? Because if not, that would be mighty shellfish. Hold on, writing that one down. Check, please. Check, please. Yeah. I like it. I don't know what's wrong with me.

That's a solid seafood joke.oke's shirt popped off when i said it's weird i'd ghost you it's honestly why i married my husband so that's exactly what happened to one of our listeners josh because he tried to get his date erica to laugh when they were going on a walk around town by sucking the helium out of a balloon and serenading her on the street to the Prince song Little Red Corvette. It was a risk. It was a risk and didn't get quite the reaction that Josh was hoping to get. Not her type of humor. Which is why Josh tried it a second time, sucking in helium before he said goodbye to her and she drove away.

Look, Josh, as a professional comedian, you never see a comic have a bad joke and then go, hold on guys, let me do it again. Just move on, bro. I think that's your big problem is you kept trying. Probably. Probably. Okay. You know though, Josh, you sound awesome. I think we get a shot. Yeah, you want Josh's phone number for after

we're done with this? No, I love my husband. Okay. Well, it's true. We all are a fan of you, Josh, and we're going to try our best to get you a second. Oh. Okay. Yeah. Well, it's true. We all are a fan of you, Josh, and we're going to try our best to get you a second. Well, maybe not Alexis. Oh, Alexis is still iffy on it. I'm waiting.

I'm deciding. She's waiting to get a laugh. She doesn't know he's rich yet. She did a lot of ewes in the first half. I'm trying to get a vibe still. But the rest of us are going to try really hard

to get you a date here. I'll listen and judge silently. But are you feeling ready, man? I guess so. Jeff didn't sell it well, but you're in good hands. Yeah, here we go. I'm going to dial Erica's number. Let's do this.

Hello? Hey, is this Erica? Yes, it is hey erica my name is jeff from the radio show brooke and jeffrey in the morning how you doing um i'm well how how are you guys so i win something let's maybe we're doing pretty good we're calling on behalf of one of our listeners who's been trying to get a hold of you his name's josh okay do you know who who jeffrey's talking about i went on an awkward date with a guy named josh oh an awkward date why why do you say it was awkward maybe it was a different job yeah yeah is this are we talking about the same j who you went to coffee with and you took a walk around the park? Yep.

That was the awkward date. Okay. Which part of it was awkward to you? Because what we're doing here is something called a second date update. We're trying to help Josh figure out if there was something about your day together that didn't go well. Oh, my God. Okay. Oh, it sounds like you're ready to, like, dish.

I guess so I thought it was doing really well for a while and then um he brought up my profile picture which I'm in construction where like got the vest on and like a hammer in my hand because I was working for Habitat for Humanity for a while we heard that's awesome you do that by the way yeah but so he brought it up at coffee and I was like asked me about the outfit and I was like oh you know like they have it's like protocol that's what you wear when you're like yeah with a hard hat and then he like brought it up again while we were walking and he was like do you dress up in any other outfit like performs like what do you mean what is he talking about was there just like maybe an awkward time in the conversation he was that's what you go trying to fill the space with any question that's what i'm saying like maybe he was just miss miss speaking um he asked me if i've dressed up like a police officer

why would you dress up like a police officer i don't think there's habitat for police officers yeah exactly i thought it was kind of a weird one to ask okay did he drop it after you told them no um no he asked me again why what did you say yeah what did you say did do you want there to be other uniforms is that what you're trying to do here i was kind of just confused by it and i i thought he was just joking so i was trying to go with it you know right okay i could see that i mean yeah yeah he asked me if i I ever dressed up like I was in the army. Wait, okay. All, like, really specific.

Yeah. Have you? And they don't seem, like, sexual. So that's your again. Okay, but here's what, so I was driving home, and I was thinking about it. I turn on the radio, and we all know the song YMCA, and then I was like, oh, my God.

Like, I started thinking about the village people. Yeah, that's what I was thinking first. Yes, because there's the construction worker, the cop, and the guy from the army. Yeah, you don't have to tell me. I have the poster on my wall. Yeah. So what do you think was behind that?

Like, do you think he wanted you to dress like the village people? Maybe. I just thought it was kind of weird. I was like, maybe he has a weird fetish. A village people fetish? I don't know why he'd be on a date with you then, if that was the case. You should be like a school girl or like

something like that, but these are all very like work, like very daily outfits, right? Do you have an oil drill outfit? No, but honestly, like maybe he maybe he was just being awkward. Like it's a first date. Maybe he was trying to make a joke and he never got to the punch line because he just felt the awkwardness happening in the moment. I couldn't see that for him.

I would love to know what the punch line is. Oh, well, we have the perfect way to find out because actually josh is on the other line listening and wanting to talk to you right now i oh um josh uh hello so awkward you were hoping it was helium josh i was hoping he was just going to bust out to, in the Navy. Well, it wasn't going like I thought, so the punchline didn't come out. Oh, wait, so Brooke is right. You were telling a joke.

Yeah, so, I mean, after the Helium joke fell flat on me, YMCA came to my head, and I was like, oh, if I name all these other things, maybe she'll find it hilarious. She got it, but... Oh. But instead, she just... But she never got the joke. As a person who misses jokes a lot, it's never funny.

Like, never. Is your entire sense of humor based around 70s male musicians? Oh, my God. Were you dying when you heard her say that she thought you had a village, people? I mean, you're on the other line listening. I have to say, it was a little traumatic. Josh, Josh, don't be embarrassed about your attraction to the village people.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. They're a sexy group of men. Jeff worked through that a long time ago. Okay, they're very good singers. They know how to dance. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Very respected. I'm slowly here as we go along you are so but the

good thing is i will say you sound embarrassed which means you obviously realize now that it wasn't a good joke and at least we know it was a joke yes i mean so now you're hearing erica the story behind this weird conversation is it is it making you feel a little bit better about josh like you should talk to him about it yeah i mean i i guess like he should have finished the joke it was just like weird her face was your face was so like not into it that i guess the third time was a charm and i went okay this is not going anywhere i mean you did call me on a radio show so i don't know if they helped you out with that joke like it might be a good way to hide your weird fetish oh you're saying you're just agreeing with what we're saying i wouldn't have suggested that you'd be like an

army outfit or anything like no no not at all look i thought you were very beautiful in your construction outfit but that's not what got me interested. That was just a bonus. I don't meet quality people like you on dating sites very often. He only meets them at the Village People concerts. It's amazing that you're here. I realize it's too much, so please don't tell it anymore. He's begging you.

He's like, dude, I get it. There might be a chance for you to actually hear the end of whatever joke he was trying to tell you, Erica. I don't think that's the sell, Jeffrey. No, but definitely not. Well, whatever. We just want you to go out with Josh one more time and we'll pay with it. What do you say? Let me hear you say.

No. Y-E-S-S. I want to hear you say. Y-E-S-S. Oh, my God. It goes straight to your heart. Y-E-S-S. Oh, my God. It goes straight to your heart. We will send you a new gift card.

Come on. That's pretty good. That was on the fly, Erica. Let them answer. Erica, say yes. Okay. Yes, but only if you finish your punchline okay oh I love it that's a deal okay that's so cute all right well congratulations you guys looks like you're gonna be going out one more time awesome I appreciate it guys I'm just happy we got a date for a young man Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

No, you didn't. You know, yeah, I did. But listening back to that, I wonder if that guy now really did just piggyback on what we were saying and go like, oh, yeah, no, no, I was totally, it was just a joke. That's true. You're kind of right. There was no evidence that he didn't.

But come on, like, dressing up like a construction worker or an army person, I mean, that's pretty safe. Yeah. I don't know. When does a guy ask that to a girl? Right. Yeah, sure, why not? I mean, what if he, like, really was into village people fetish? Like, would anybody have a problem with that?

I wouldn't have a problem. I mean, as long as it wasn't that we had to listen to the music while we ate it, I would be good. No kink shaming around here. Brooke's looking for an invitation. I mean, more than two people in the village, people. So, yeah. I'm happy that we were able to send them out on another date. Okay, maybe we should turn this one up for him in case he's still listening.

Let's boost this song just for you, Josh. Good luck on your date. He, maybe we should turn this one up for him in case he's still listening. Let's boost this song just for you, Josh. Good luck on your date. He's getting excited. Turn it down. Turn it down. We don't want to just get too excited in there. But remember, if you ever want to get a second date update, you can always email the show. We'll call the person who isn't
