You might remember we did an awkward Tuesday phone call a few months back with a guy named Aaron because even though him and his ex broke up, she was still planning on attending a wedding for their mutual friend. That's right. Aaron thought it was weird

because the groom was his buddy first right oh she should back down yeah yeah yeah he wanted our help and ultimately i know this is probably going to sound weird but we had to flip a coin in the studio that's right i couldn't remember how that ended who ended up going to the wedding her him aaron lost that's right and aaron please tell me you still went to your buddy's wedding anyway. What? That's not the rules, Jeff. No, I didn't go. Yeah.

You didn't? See, you follow the Brooke and Jeffrey Quintly rules of the universe. Did you still give a gift, though? Erin, what kind of friend are you? Send a gift. Yeah, I gave a gift, and it was kind of a spiteful one. I got him like a $5 gift certificate to Starbucks. I can't even get you a drink at Starbucks.

Yeah, that doesn't even get you anything at Starbucks. It's like just below a coffee. Your friend didn't even do anything wrong. Well, he invited the ex. The ex, well, no, wait, she didn't have an invite, did she? Ultimately, the weird part is that after all of that went downhill for him, Aaron is back again for a second date update now. So what's going on in your love life at the moment?

So I got another problem here to crack. I met this girl on the apps. Well, we know it wasn't at the wedding. So, yeah, it wasn't her. No, not at all. And kind of a breath of fresh air for me, like super grounded, low maintenance type of woman. And we went on a first date, went good. Nothing too crazy, but we had great banter.

Did you say she's a great dancer? Banter. Oh. Like, oh, cool, you went dancing. I was more interested in her dance moves as well. Oh, all right. Yeah, I don't know. But we had a good time.

I watched you in the car. We did kiss, so that was good. Oh. Okay, and what was the kiss like? It was good. It was like saying that you're going to want to go on a second date without actually having to say it. You know, it was one of those.

Okay. I don't know. There's a term called kiss you goodbye. There's also pity kiss. Yeah. Sorry, not saying you got that. We know all the depressing types of kisses on this show. I've had them all.

I'll never see you later, Tong. You're saying you left feeling really hopeful. It did go to a second date. It did? It already went on a second date. It wasn't a sad kiss. You read it right. I did. Yeah. Okay. Tell us about date number

two. Yeah, so she said come meet me at work like right at the end of her shift or whatever. Oh, God. Okay. Yeah, kind of weird. She doesn't like that. Well, I guess it depends on where she works. Yeah. Does she work at a cool place? Yeah, well, she works at a hotel. Oh.

Like four-star thing and I showed up. Not totally sure what she does, like, if it's, like, reservations or concierge stuff or... I don't know, but maybe you could break in the pool and have a pool party. Yeah! You said it was four stars, too, right? Sounded like it's, like, a dingy motel off the highway. No, it was really nice. Yeah.

Okay. It'd be different, though. Okay. She kind of runs out. She's like, hey, I got ten more minutes. I gotta wrap some stuff up. And then she runs out. She's like, hey, I got 10 more minutes. I got to wrap some stuff up. And then she runs back. And as I walk in, I'm kind of noticing there's all these dudes. And they're all, like, hot and 6'2". Oh, is it the hot dude convention at the hotel? I go to that every year.

This is why you go to the four stars. I didn't get my invite this year. What happened? You're losing customers. I guess so. It looked like there was some sort of thing, like an agency.

I don't know, but she was, I guess, wrangling something in the back, like with all of them, and she was having the time of her life. Well, dude, wouldn't you flip it around?

You were running a bunch of beautiful female models. You'd probably have a big smile on your face. It doesn't mean anything. You're just like enjoying the view, enjoying your company. I couldn't agree more.

Okay, good. So that's not. However. However, we go on like mini golf date. And see, I would be doing the same thing she was. You're right. But I would also kind of carry that energy through to whoever I was dating, hopefully immediately after. And she was kind of standoffish.

It was just like she wasn't treating me that way. It was more just kind of like there was this distance. But then I could have been being weird, too. Yeah, it sounds like you were being weird. I mean, just even your mindset in the hotel lobby sounds kind of. It also sounds like she's like, bye, hot guys. Good to see you. All right, you. Why did you just get off work?

Yeah, that's true. And maybe she used all her fake customer service smiles. Emotional capacity for the day. Did you try anything with her to try and get the mood right? Yeah, I did, and I only mentioned this thing once i was like what

was going what were all those dudes she's like oh it's like this model convention thing and i was no no i mean i get it like if i walked into a model convention and i was meeting some guy for a first date it would just be a hit to your ego i could see see that. Yeah, totally. I feel like a solid eight, but then I walked in there and I was like, no, I'm a five. Remember that personality probably sucks. You're in your hometown eight. That's how it works. I get it. Right. So are you thinking

that overall your attitude that day may have affected how your date played out? Yeah, and I know, you know, I said it the one time. I brought it up just to see what she would say, and I didn't touch it again because I'm not a complete idiot. That's good. And then I'm like, was I weird? And then it was like, if I was a little

weird, was she taking some Miss Red cute and then that snowballed into her being weird? You're in your head about this for sure. You're your own worst enemy in this situation. Even the way you're talking right now, it's a little defeatist. Defeated, that's the word. Thank you. right now, it's a little... It's a little defeatist. Defeated, that's the word.

Thank you. And we want to be a... What's the opposite of defeatist? I don't know, but we're going to lift you up. Winniers. Winniers. And compared to us, you're going to look like a nine when we get her on the phone. So that's good, right? We are.

Glad this is radio. You can do that, right? Yeah, exactly. So we're going to call Natalie and we're going to send her out with a 10 personality wise. I like it. Okay. Okay. Big personality.

We'll talk about that. We'll work on that personality. We'll come back and do your second date update next. Second date update. You know, I really feel for Aaron because right before his second date with Natalie, he went to go meet her and there was a hotel lobby full of attractive male models. What are the chances? Yeah.

I mean, not good, obviously. Not good. At least they seem to be models, and that may have thrown off Aaron's confidence right before they went to mini-golf. Yeah. And it just made me think it must be how all of you feel whenever you come into the studio with me. Exactly. And you get intimidated, and it throws studio with me. Exactly. You get intimidated and

it throws off your confidence. It's like, how do I talk to you? I blame you for the reason why I'm single. I apologize for making you guys feel that way. I feel really bad. I'm really sorry. I'm just a man. If I remember right, you didn't get invited to the model convention.

Yeah. Because I was invited to the one in Paris. That's why. So I couldn't do the small pond stuff anymore. But you know what? This man is going to help the man on the phone to meet up with the girl that he likes, Natalie, again. Aaron, it sounds like you just didn't put your best foot forward with all that stuff going on in the back of your mind. I'm hoping we can pull it off for you, all right?

Yeah, thanks. I kind of stutter pull it off for you, all right? Yeah, thanks. I kind of stuttered into the whole thing, you know? Totally. And, you know, even if you end up telling her that, like, hey, I was just a little thrown off, I think she'd get it. Like, there's no person alive that wouldn't feel a little uncomfortable walking into,

unless you are, in fact, a model, you know? I'm sure she'd like to hear if you're honest. Like, I was a little insecure and I apologize. Totally. Women like it when you project all of your insecurities right out into the open. Let's go with that strategy. Women don't like that.

You're going to have to lie. That's not true. This is the model we're talking to, Jeff. Jeff knows. I think we got this. You got two dates under your belt, we get you a third. We're good.

All right. Let's not waste any more time. Let's call her right now, okay? Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Natalie? Yes. What's up, Natalie?

You're on the radio right now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hey, Natalie. Hey. How are you doing? No way. Young Jeffrey. the morning. Hey, Natalie. Hey. How you doing? No way. Young Jeffrey. No way. Hi, Jeffrey.

I cannot believe this. Oh, how are you? I'm totally stoked that you called me. What is this in reference to? This is in reference to a second date update and a guy that you've gone out twice with named Aaron. Okay. Oh, yay.

It's just like winning the lottery. All right. So how did you hear about this? You know that Aaron emails us and tells us a little bit about your date. Dates plural, actually. Why though? Oh my God. Because you're not calling him back and he likes you.

And he thinks you don't like him. I think it's the other way around, but okay. What makes you say that? Well, you don't like him i think it's the other way around but okay what makes you say that well i don't know i just got like this feeling that on our second date he seemed a little aloof okay that makes sense we we talked to him about the second date and he mentioned something about trying to meet you at the hotel where you work. And there was a bunch of kind of attractive guys in the lobby there. Was there legit a model convention going on? Oh, yeah. Yeah, there was.

Oh, there was? Yeah, but that's my job. Yeah, he thought that too. I mean, it's not like he was like jealous or anything like that. No, I don't know. I just sensed like maybe he wasn't really that into me at that time. The first date went really well. But then the second date, he seemed, like I said, standoffish a little bit.

And I don't know. I just sensed like a different vibe. And so I was like, all right, maybe this guy just really isn't that into me. And I kind of backed off a little bit. I mean, but you could understand where he's coming from because he's around all these, you know, apparently really good looking male models. I think I think what Jeff's saying is like he just took a little like hit to the ego as soon as he went to meet you. And then it was hard for him to kind of get back that confidence he lost. Because he mentioned that you look like you were having a lot of fun with them.

You know, I didn't even really think about that. And that's on him if he's insecure. Oh, for sure. I mean, yeah, they're good looking. Absolutely. Of course, they're models. I mean, they're models. Now I rest my case.

She's like still, I'm here, by the way I rest my case. She's, like, still... I'm here, by the way. Oh, God. What is going on? What are you doing? Remember how this works, Natalie. Erin's on the other line listening. Oh, right.

We were doing a good job, Erin. Why'd you interrupt? We were getting to the meat of it. Oh, quickly, I forgot. Hello, Erin. How are you? Hi. Hi.

Sorry, I just thought that your head was kind of with the model during mini-golf and not... How quickly I forgot. Hello, Aaron. How are you? Hi. Hi. Sorry. I just thought your head was kind of with the models during mini golf and not with me. That's kind of what I felt. I like you. I was on the date with you. I get it. They're models. They're supposed to be good looking, you know?

Yeah. Models are good looking. Whether they're male, they're female. These models were good looking. Oh, and they were male. So we'll get that out of the way but yeah aaron why are you coming off insecure she's the one that keeps bringing up how good looking these guys were you guys could hear this yeah but didn't you hear her on on your date you were like aloof and and were into her and so that's why her attitude changed it didn't have anything to do with models. I get it. It's fine but it's like I showed

up for her because I wanted to be with her and then I felt like her head was somewhere else which was back at like a, it looked like a Bud Light commercial or something. Well, you're the bad example. Maybe not today. Like a Top Gun volleyball scene? Is that what we're thinking? Oh, that'd be so hot.

My head would be there. That's not helping with Aaron. That's not helping with my focus either. So let's refocus. Because, Natalie, what I think Aaron is saying is, to him, whether it's true or not, it felt like you were more interested in hanging out with the models that day than hanging out with him. That was just a vibe that he got. I have to disagree because I'm like out with him. That was just a vibe that he got. I have to disagree because

I'm like that with everybody. We're in the business of being happy and creating a happy experience for everybody. And I'm just being myself when I'm with Aaron and of course I like him, but I'm not going to be all holly jolly

like, oh! He's not one of your guests. That makes sense. I mean, mean Aaron do you hear her because it I don't know I mean I'm sure I was like being a weirdo so that's part of it but it just like it just kind of felt like I was competing or something with all of these dudes

but you weren't how many times does she have to tell you that one more would probably help. Just drive it home. I like you, Aaron. I mean, come on now. I like you too. That's why.

Now we're getting somewhere. I like you too. Okay. So fine. You like me and I like you. So what's the problem? I don't get it. You want to go out on date number three?

And then we... Yes, I do. Okay. Yes, you do. Okay, you do. So then I'll go with you then. Okay? Okay, then.

Are you going to be mad? Wow. Maybe I don't like anybody else but you. And then I want to just go out with you. Maybe that's how it is. That sounds like a threat, but it's not a threat. Like, it's a good thing. Don't interrupt them.

This is doing well. And the feeling is reciprocal. Absolutely. 100%. I like you. Well, I like you, too. They're going to angry kiss this time. Did we just skip the third date and they officially have the exclusive talk right here?

Yes, that's what happened, Jeffrey. And we're happy about it. I'm happy for the two of them, Brooke. So am I. Me, too. Why are we yelling? Brooke's scary when she does that. So, wait. I'm happy for the two of them, Brooke. So am I. Me too. Why are we yelling? Brooke's scary when she does that. So wait, are you guys happy going out again?

Yes, we are. Yes, we are. Yes, we are. And we're going to be the best date, damn it. Okay. Do we have to beep that? Well, we're going to pay for that best date, damn it. Yeah, you'll pay for that date. Oh, yeah. Is that a threat? I'm going to pay for that best date, dammit. Yeah, you'll pay for that date.

Oh, yeah. I'm happy to pay for it, okay? How about that? Well, this is going a little bit better than I thought. I don't know why I'm mad, though. Yeah. We're not quite sure either. But it's working, so I'll keep this energy when you meet up with Natalie.

Okay, Natalie? Natalie, you cool with that? I am cool with that. All right. Okay. Let's end this segment now. Congratulations. I'm hanging up. Don't be late.

Thank you very much. If you're late, it'll be fine. I'll be fine. Okay. Yeah, that's sensible. That's really sensible. I appreciate that. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
