While this dating story may sound weird to a lot of our listeners, it sounds right on the nose for me. Really? Oh. Because one of our listeners, Adam, just said in his email he blindfolded his date out in a parking lot, and the rest is history.

Oh, my gosh. Hey, Adam, have we hung out before? What the heck? I don't think so, man, but I'd like to. Are you sure? Pretty sure. Okay. So we'll get into your blindfolding antics in just a second.

I bet you'll get into those. Yeah, I want to know all about it. I bet. Tell us what the girl you want us to call. What's her name? Erin. Okay. Erin.

Is Erin physically okay right now? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Why wouldn't she be? Because we led with you blindfolded her in a dark parking lot. And apparently you can't get in touch with her now. I just want to make sure she's not in a trunk or something. Oh, no.

She's fine. Okay. Where'd you meet Erin? She can breathe. We met on a dating app. Okay. It's not getting less sketchy. No, come on.

That's normal. It is. It is. except for the blindfold part. Yeah, well, that's just the thing. All these dating apps, you go on so many dates, and they're all kind of same. So I did some research online of maybe some creative things for the first date. And like I read in the article, it enhances the meal. So yeah, if you're having a blind date, why not have an actual blind date? That came up online as a suggestion? So wait, you decided that she couldn't look at you the entire day or what? Yeah, why don't you run us through how this works?

Yeah, and how you proposed it to her. Because I can't imagine someone saying yes to a stranger on this one. At first, she was kind of timid towards this. Like, maybe i'm not so sure about this but then i sent her the link from where i was reading and she kind of eased into the idea and she was like yeah it sounds like a lot of fun was the link to 50 shades of gray i guess i'm still confused on what the date is, though. Like, what did you do? What is the idea? Explain that to us.

Sure. So we met at the restaurant. She got out of her car and texted me that she was there. And then so I walked over and then put the blindfold on. And I was a gentleman. I walked her into the restaurant. I told the restaurant ahead of time. Yeah.

Yeah, blindfolded. and i have heard of this where they have like these dark restaurants now too where you go in and you literally can't see anything and then you eat yeah it's trendy so that it like you said enhances the food but like on a date i mean what was her response to this experience we were both having fun you know other than having a blindfold on it was like like any other first date. We were laughing and talking. I guess the only difference is, is that the waiter had to read to her, you know, what we were going to be eating that night. Describe it to her instead of. Right.

Instead of being like, what are the specials? You're like, what's the entire menu? At any point, did you put a blindfold on too? No, I kept my eyes wide open the whole time. Okay. Okay, interesting. I mean, well, but you're both into it and it'd be something to laugh about and something to talk about and move the date along the entire time.

I can't imagine there was probably a lot of awkward silence with your date being blindfolded. No, she probably wouldn't let, she'd run. Right. Yeah. Not just enhance the food. Like when you lose one sense, you know, it kind of makes the sounds and everything enhance, too. So maybe she enjoyed the conversation more

without having to look at me, so. Oh, wait, now I have to ask, did you guys kiss? Because that would be more enjoyable blindfolded. We did not kiss while she had the blindfold on, no. Okay, well, obviously you would ask if you could kiss her. I'm not saying this. Blindfold her and make out with her. You didn't do the cardinal sin of blindfolding what's that running behind her and putting bunny ears over her i can't tell you how many times that's happened to me when i've

been blindfolded if i find out adam that you did bunny ears to her while blindfolded then you owe me a blindfold oh man i man, I would never. I would never. That's right, you're a gentleman. Adam, did she have the blindfold on the entire date? I mean, did it ever come off? So we had a nice dinner and everything was going well

and she enjoyed the blindfold and then it was time for dessert and I let her take off the blindfold. That's kind of a poor choice of words in this situation. I unlocked the restraints and allowed her to remove the blindfold. You're free now. Okay, I didn't let her take off the blindfold. I suggested.

Okay. Okay. There it is. All right. And how did she seem after the blindfold came off? Pleasantly surprised. I apologize for not being more better looking, but... That's funny.

That's some good humor to put in there. I was thinking that. I'm like, I hope she doesn't just think you're ugly, bro. But if you address that... I mean, she's seen my pictures online, so she kind of knew what she was getting into. That's true, too. You're right.

I forgot about that. How did everything end? Well, like I said, we had dessert, and we laughed, and I paid the bill, and, you know, we went back out to the parking lot, and I was like, I'd really like to see you again. She's like, yeah, for sure. I'd really like to see you again, too. I see what you did there. I'd like to see you again.

That's clever. I didn't get it. So, yeah, we texted a few times after the date but trying to make more plans she's always been busy and i really haven't heard much from her since so i i don't really know what's going on yeah well i mean at least you did take it off i'd be more concerned if it never came off so i mean at least you did that yeah it would have been a lot of you can read someone's tone i mean it's the the night, she said, text me and I'll see you again. And I'm glad that we heard about this type of date

because now the next time I go into a Red Lobster and I see a girl blindfolded in a chair over there, I'll be like, oh, okay. She's just having a fun time. I'm still going to, yeah, I'm going to still default to emergency situation. Yeah, that's going to still be my default. Let's see where Erin's at. We're going to play a song.

We'll come back and we'll try and give her a call and get you a second date update. All right, Adam? Awesome. Thank you. Hold on. Second date update. Hey, Adam. Yeah.

What do you call a blindfolded fascist? What? I don't know. What? A Nazi. Nope. Yeah. I get it.

Nazi. Yeah. We're not starting this. Why am I crushing old blindfold jokes right now because one of our listeners adam blindfolded his date aaron when they went out to dinner he got the idea off a dating website which said blindfolding during the meal makes the food more tasty and the conversation flow better yeah apparently it worked. Adam says they had a really good time. The blindfold came off before they ate dessert. But Adam, we never asked you this.

Was there anything that went wrong or felt weird during the blindfold date? You know, I wouldn't say anything went wrong, but this thing happened a few times where since she couldn't see, she'd be reaching for a fork or a knife and then she'd just knock her drink over and spill it all over the place. That happened about two or three times. One time she almost knocked over mine too, but I was able to grab it before it fell over, so I was dry. Wait, she got herself all wet?

Not completely wet. Most of it spilled onto the floor. Oh, my God. It's interesting that after two spills, you were like, let's give this one more chance. I did. But, okay. I was committed. It was a good date idea. You guys should try it.

Yeah, just might. That's the thing. Obviously, she was, too, because she didn't take the blindfold off. Right. That's true. If she was, like, super uncomfortable, she would have just been like, okay, I'm done. She likes to act like a toddler at the dining room table. I don't know. Nice. Okay, let's not forget she hasn't called him back that's true something's wrong well let's figure it out i'm gonna dial her phone number right now we're gonna

get your second date update you ready man i am ready thank you and remember if this doesn't work out you and i are going on a blindfold date okay you got it man all right no bunny ears no bunny ears here we go Down the number now. Hello? Hi, is this Aaron? Yeah, who's this? My name's Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

How you doing? I'm okay. Oh, hey. Oh, she's laughing. Maybe you listen every once in a while, Erin. I mean, I do a little. Maybe I've heard some of it before. You've heard of us.

That will take you. She flipped through the stations once, and that's good enough. It's not a bad thing, Erin, okay? The reason that we're calling is because we're doing something called a second date update. That's where if you go out with someone and afterwards if that person isn't calling you back, you can email our show and we'll reach out to them for you to help you figure out the reason why. Okay.

I don't know if I like where this is going, but all right. Well, the guy who emailed us, his name's Adam. Oh, guys. That guy adam oh guys that guy oh that guy it's a pretty unforgettable date you had with adam oh my god like okay the guy blindfolded me right yeah no he uh he told us all about the date and that he blindfolded you in the parking lot and led you into the restaurant you guys ate a meal together But you knew about it because he said that he emailed you the link of the article saying why it's a fun first date. Yeah, like that was all fine. I figure like, you know, I'm open to like a new experience.

Okay. But what he didn't know, though, is that the blindfold was actually like not thick enough that I could actually see everything that was going on. Oh. Oh, you could see through it? Yeah. And I was pretending the whole time that they didn't want to, you know, he's having so much fun, like thinking so innovative and stuff. So I didn't want to like blow it for him. Wait, that's nice of you. No, hold up though. If you could see, why did you spill drinks everywhere? Oh, he told you about that?

Yes. He said he like spilled three different drinks and he thought like, I don't know, maybe that's why you weren't calling him back. No, I did it on purpose. What? Why? I did it because he was kind of being like really sneaky and weird during the dates and I did this to kind of get him back. Oh, what was he doing? He took you on a nice date. So you're saying he got sneaky and weird after the blindfold was on he got really sneaky and really weird how what did he do so he ordered a shrimp cocktail which i guess i was supposed to you know of course i pretended like not to know what was coming and he's like talking to me and asking me questions about my life and

my childhood and stuff and then he's like hold on don't eat and asking me questions about my life and my childhood and stuff. And then he's like, hold on, don't eat yet, right? And I can see through the blindfold the guy goes over and takes a big shrimp. And then my entree comes, which is, like, seafood linguine, which I was, like, really looking forward to eating. And he starts eating that, too. What? He's legit eating off your plate? This guy's a genius. Yeah, and it's like, does he just go on dates with girls to blindfold them to eat their food?

That seems like a stretch. But why would he do that? Why would he eat your food? Maybe he just wants to taste it. You tell me. I don't know. It was the weirdest thing I've ever, ever seen. And I actually felt really betrayed.

Like, oh, I blindfolded me. He's hacked me a million times about this idea. It's going to be so much fun betrayed like like oh this guy blindfolded me he's checked me a million times about this idea it's gonna be so much fun you're gonna be blindfolded and then you know there's this big reveal but then like as he's sneaking my food i'm like he's just doing this to eat my damn food and that's why he wound up with a few drinks on his lap or at least i tried okay okay so you you were you could see through the blindfold. You saw him stealing the food. And as revenge against him, you were trying to spill drinks on him. 100%. Who can play at this game?

And that's why you're not calling him back? Yeah. That's why I'm not calling him back. It was the most bizarre, weirdest thing. If he could sneak that, who knows what else he's capable of sneaking. That kind of shows like a character flaw. Yeah. I mean, next thing you know, he's going through your purse he's still in your wallet because you're blindfolded

you can't see exactly who knows what he's capable of he could be sitting on the other line of a radio station waiting to talk to you while you have no idea that would be crazy yeah it is crazy it is crazy and it's happening right now because adam actually is on the other line and wants to talk to you what are you talking about? Yeah, I'm taking the blindfold off now and letting you know Adam has been listening on the other line. Oh, my God. Adam, you there?

Oh, my God. Yeah. Hey, Aaron. Nothing. Surprise. Oh, I had no idea that you could see me. You're admitting to it. Guilty.

Why are you eating her food, Adam adam i didn't think she would notice you have one job to get a blindfold like how many other girls do you do this to you just go on dates to eat their food like well i didn't plan that going in but while i was there i was like oh she'll never know yeah oh my god that's so crazy do you realize how rude and crazy that is I don't really think it's that crazy but I mean besides your food it just looks so much better than mine I was like oh man I could totally see both sides on this one like I'm protective of my food but I also steal other people's like I am always taking half of my husband's food when he's eating something. But it's always your date's food or your husband or whoever.

They always look better than yours. Aaron, you can understand that, right? No, I don't get it. My food's my food. A kiddie's own food. I thought maybe if the portions were smaller, you would think we were at a fancier restaurant. He's good. He has done this before i mean

i feel like i'm i am still sensing a connection between you two even though you guys disagree on on the foodie thing i don't feel and i i kind of do too i mean you got to think about it aaron like yeah he should have asked but also to his defense you should have told him that you could see him doing it. Yeah. I mean, he was so excited about the blindfold thing. I'm not like a total heartless person. You know, I couldn't like rain on his parade that hard. Well, you could have just found like a different fabric then to actually make it work.

If you had just been like, just been honest. I noted. So next time, better blindfolds. Okay. No blindfolds. i've got a website that i can give you adam where they have really high quality ones appreciate that okay and that being said i would love to send the two of you out on another date our show will pay for it aaron what do you say if you want to go on the date i'll go blindfold you can take my food. You didn't even give me the bunny ears. Oh, wow.

That's intimate. Eric, give him another chance. He wasn't malicious or anything. Well, he is actually funny and cool. I mean, he's being funny about this whole thing, and I did enjoy our conversation during the meal, so I guess I'll give him another chance.

All right. Congratulations, Adam. You just got. All right. Congratulations, Adam. You just got a second date. Oh, terrific. Oh, man, I can't tell if you got a second date or you just got a night of payback. Order two entrees, bro. I'm just letting you know,

I'm ordering the most expensive things on the menu, and I know there's strength for it, but you might have to end up shipping in. Okay. Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Jon Stewart is back at The Daily Show, and he's bringing his signature wit and insight straight to your ears
