You can go over to the main feed for the full show, Brooke and Jeffrey, but right now, let's get into this relationship stuff. Yeah. Second date update. In this segment, there's a lot of logic that goes into our thinking about whether a pair

should be together or not. We're always asking, like, is that fair? Does that make sense? I think there's not enough heart in our decision making because love isn't always rational. We need to start thinking with that other body part. Who is this romantic? Wait, what body part? We're gonna do something fantasy for love. The heart. Let's think with that And we've got a guy on the phone who's got a whole lot of heart going on

His name is Randall Why do I feel like it's a euphemism every time you say it, Jeff? It's not, it's not if you think with your heart, Brooke So Randall, after- It's really hard to take you seriously After just reading your email, I hope whatever the universe gives you here today you accept with open arms Oh brother. I couldn't have said it better myself Some of us are more emotional and heart-driven in this I don't know when you're being serious or not

That's a very analytical pessimistic way Me for who I am deep inside and not for what I say. Oh, okay. Not for what I do or say. Randall, you're with me here. So tell us about your situation. It sounds like it's a little bit complicated. Okay, it's gonna sound a little unusual, but for a, I've been texting a woman in Vietnam and we've had a very deep connection and we've gotten to know one another so well

that I fell deep in love with this woman. Whoa! That's a strong word. Good for you, man. I mean, you guys just found each other on the internet somehow? Yeah, we found each other on the internet and decided to start texting

and it was like a whirlwind romance for me. Why did you say was? Isn't it still? Well, I wanted to profess my love to her in person. So we decided that I was gonna fly out and I was gonna meet her. Oh my God, were you so nervous? Wow, dude.

Yes, I flew out. I was excited the whole trip. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. Oh my gosh. Wow. How'd it go then? Yeah, what was it like when you land Yes, I flew out I was excited the whole trip I couldn't sleep I couldn't eat Yeah, what was it like when you land and you finally get to see each other in person well it landed I went to where we were supposed to meet and She didn't show up

That is like the cruelest thing that's going on right now. And I hear it happen to so many people actually. Dude that's terrible. So we all hate Vietnamese fake girl now. So where are you in your love life now? I still kinda like her. Can I just put my phone down? Well you guys will be happy to learn that I met another woman from the Philippines.

Oh god. Here we go. Hey! Online or in person? Where'd we meet? We met online again but I know this woman's real. How? They could be real, but are they employed

by someone else or are they? Yeah, they're all real. Have you FaceTimed with her? We didn't FaceTime, but we've been texting a lot. And let me tell you, I know you're gonna think I'm crazy, but my heart tells me it's real. Your heart. Okay. We're throwing logic out the window, all rationale.

And experience. We are only listening to our hearts, yes. Okay, now I understand Jeff's intro. Okay, we're throwing logic out the window all rationale. We're only listening to our hearts. Yes Yeah, now I understand Jeff's intro. Oh, I'm real nervous. Are we calling this girl from the Philippines right now? No, no, here's what I need you guys to help me with. Okay, my friend You know everything that happened with the last girl Yeah, he said to me why not just meet a woman locally face to face and just see how it goes Yeah, so I did I actually got online and I matched with a young lady and we met up at a bar and her name is Georgina Okay, so you went on a date with Georgina, but you're in love with a woman from the Philippines. Yes I'm just trying to see if maybe I am supposed to meet someone locally just to see where love may take me

Well, and you're a lover. You're a true romantic You may fall in love with everyone you see If maybe I am supposed to meet someone locally just to see where love may take me Can we know more about Georgina at the bar yes, we just had a great conversation She's been through some hurt in her past too. So we bonded over that and we just really had a deep conversation Nothing too deep just conversations about life and our goals and what we would like to achieve. Nothing too deep? It was nice. It was nice. We usually people follow up nothing too deep with like favorite movie. Anyway, what's your dog's name? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, but if they don't, then I'm on the first plane out of here. Oh, okay, so if Georgina wants to pursue a relationship

with you, then you're gonna just totally leave the Filipino girl. But is she not texting you back, or why do you need us? Yeah. So we just had the date last night, so I don't even really know what to do. Oh, we can jump in before things go wrong. Yeah.

No, of course she doesn't text back. It's preventative care. Yeah, it is. Also, he's doesn't text back. It's preventative care. He's a guy that clearly operates through grand romantic gestures and what better way to do like a big gesture to Georgina than to have a radio show call and gauge how she feels about him in a cosmic sort of way. But we shouldn't push if she says no because that's the universe, right?

Again, there's that like analytical, rational, logical talk that the universe right again. There's that like analytical rational logical talk Try to act like the universe and I feel like the universe just goes with the flow Jeff exactly so stop overthinking it Let's just call this lady. Okay, and see where her heart is at when we do the second date update right after this second date update We're in the middle of your second date update. If you missed the first part, the universe was brought up a lot. Yes, because our listener, Randall, has put his fate into our hands, saying we are the universe. And I guess that makes Brooke Uranus.

A giant gas planet. And the rest of us are stars. Wait, what? Here's the situation. Hold on, Jeff. Randall's been heartbroken before. He flew to Vietnam to meet a woman, ended up getting catfished there. Yeah, he didn't even show up.

Then fell for another lady from the Philippines. Who he sure is real. He has not met her yet, not even FaceTime, but in his heart, he feels that their connection is true. He's in love. He said he's in love with her. Absolutely. And Randall, on a scale of 1 out of 10, how serious are you about Philippines Girl? I am so serious that if this doesn't work out today, I am on the first plane to the Philippines with a ring in my hand. Wow! Can I recommend not the first plane? Because it's going to be a very expensive flight.

Maybe you can propose. Good point, Jose. I like to look at flights, that's why. But you're going to propose? Wow! Yes, absolutely. No way! You're not even a matter yet, brother.

Hold on, hold on. You went on one date last night with Georgina, right? Is her name Georgina? Her name is Georgina, yes. Good memory, bro. And Georgina is going to decide whether or not you propose to a woman in the Philippines Think about it. This could be a sign from the universe. So let's just see what happened Don't tell Georgina maybe about the backup plan backup plan. I think we just let the universe take control of the conversation. We're not gonna plan anything out. I'm just gonna start dialing the numbers.

Yeah, but don't you think we should zip it Uranus? We've got a universal business to attend to. You're like the moon of Uranus. I know it. You wish. You're talking about a satellite. That's a bird. Damn. Let's just make this call. You're a black hole right now. Yeah, you want me to be. Anyway, here we go. Hello.

Hi, we're looking to speak with Georgina. This is her. Who is this? This is a morning radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey. And we are very eager to speak with you today. Brooke, take it away. Why are you interested in speaking to me?

Because we heard last night you went on a really great date. I did go on a date last night, yeah. Would you say it was great? She took that word out. I know, that's what I'm trying to help here. Okay. Why do you even wanna know? How did you even get my number?

Oh man. We actually got it from that guy, Randall, and in this segment that we're doing, we're just trying to gauge and see how things go. Yeah. Okay. So we're just trying to pry a little bit and ask you, you know, how was your date? How was the hangout from your angle?

Just a short review. I mean, it was a good date. We had a couple of drinks. Randall was super thoughtful and nice. Aw. Good. This all fits his character. Yeah, so you were feeling really good. I was until the very end,

cause it was a little bit weird to say the least Yeah, we don't know what happened at the end. He didn't mention that was there like a kiss No, it was not a kiss so basically he told me I Just want you to know this date meant a lot to me. Okay, that's good. That must make you feel great It did it did until the second part in which he said I don't know if I'm going to propose to someone else Very nice to meet you

Okay, oh my god, I bet your heart just sunk well, yeah, I was more confused It's been very nice to meet you. Oh, no! Okay. Oh my god. I bet your heart just sunk. Well, yeah, I was more confused than anything. We didn't wish him luck on his proposal. That's rude. Do you think there's any chance maybe it was just a line, like a little hard to get line to play towards you to make himself seem a little bit more desirable?

It sounds like someone was about to get married and having second guesses. Or it sounds like a good joke. Like how wild would it be if he really was engaged? Like, obviously he's kidding. To make himself seem a little bit more desirable I was about to get married and having second guesses Like how wild would it be if he really was engaged like obviously he's kidding Yeah, if it was a joke it didn't work. It did not land. He should workshop that with someone else Up until that very last sentence you were planning on seeing him again. It definitely seemed like it was going in that direction Okay and seeing him again. It definitely seemed like it was going in that direction. Oh, that's our answer! Okay. That's our answer! Can we ignore the last sentence?

Can we just forget that happened? Yeah, it doesn't even matter. I think that would be textbook ignoring a red flag. Well, maybe we could, we could replace it with some new sentences that he wants to say to you right now because he is listening to this phone call. Well, I need to talk to her.

I need to say something. Brandon, what are you doing? Yeah, sorry, he's on the phone. That's how this segment works. We have been waiting. Georgina, I'm sorry. You were wonderful. I had a great time, but I gotta tell you the whole story.

A year ago, I fell in love with a person in Vietnam. They catfished me. I was heartbroken. I didn't know what to do. Then I found another person, and this woman's from the Philippines. I feel like she might be the one. I didn't know what to do. Then I found another person and this woman's from the Philippines I feel like she might be the one I haven't met her yet. I haven't FaceTimed her all we have You haven't met her

No, I haven't met her yet. I'm just trying to find FaceTimed her. Have you know? Do you know what she sounds like? No I'm not sure where she's going with this. Where are you going with this? You you just admitted to getting catfished for the Vietnamese person and now you're putting yourself in the same Scenario potentially what this woman from the Philippines like do you do you not see the pattern here? But yes, I see what everyone else sees but that's what this woman from the Philippines like do you do you not see the pattern here? But yes, I see what everyone else sees but I sent this woman money. Oh, we didn't ask that I mean Not a lot Probably just for like a new phone so that they could text more

Of course she needs help. She's an invisible woman on the internet who you don't know. Oh, Randall. Not invisible, maybe a man. Brooke, why didn't you ever step in and tell Randall any of this stuff earlier? Dude, Jeffrey, Randall, he is a hopeful,

truly a heartfelt guy, and he's just getting taken advantage of, and that is like so sad. I don't see it as a sad thing at all I see Randall as giving money to a woman in the Philippines it probably doesn't exist you give money to random people you've never met even for and you call it charity like I'm sorry he's just he's got a big heart he has a lot of hope and optimism and he's willing to do whatever it takes to make love happen in his life

And he's willing to put himself out there even put himself on the radio like this Can I go with the girl in the Philippines or should I continue to first do Georgina Georgina? You need to say something romantic to Georgina tell her why you tried this why you finally went out on the limb and risked seeing... That's because his friend made him so don't... Georgina in all honesty before our date I was wholeheartedly in love with the young lady from the Philippines but after meeting you there's just something about you I thought we had a connection I didn't know if that was a universe telling me that I was making the wrong decision with the other girl I appreciate your candor but I will just tell you the difference between me and this other woman.

I am real and the other person is a fantasy. So that's why you are so swept up because that's what these scammers do. Yeah. You mean like there's a small percent, like one percent she's not real? More the other way. 99. Definitely a hundred, a hundred and nine thousand. Oh wow. He's not real. And you know, I don't know where things are going to stand between us,

but for now we should at least I will be your friend and help you navigate this situation. If that's what you need. Right. Wow. That is amazing. Randall, you hear Randall. Wow. I love you Georgina, that is amazing. Randall you hear that? She is willing to fight for you. Hey! We can take it that way, I love it Jeff, sure. So she... That is...

Sure! She is willing to do whatever it takes it sounds like to help you be your Sherpa through your romantic life. Randall this is a real one, Georgina is a real one, please don't pass up this chance. No woman has ever fought for me before. Let's get the boxing gloves on and get this going because Georgina we want to send you and Randall out on another day and we'll pay for it if you say yes. Well I am willing to do that. Thank you thank you Georgina You are such a caring, kind person. I can't wait for us to hang out again. Oh, I look forward to it.

OK, and how much money do you want him to send you, Georgina, before this date happens? Yeah, he writes Boy Jackson. He could just pay me in person. We're fine. Oh, it is true love. There we go. Oh, my gosh, the universe did it. Congratulations, you two.

You're going out on another date. Seriously, thank God for Georgina. Yeah. It was so stressful. Gotta save this guy. I gotta save this guy. Yeah. That's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hey, look at that. We actually got a yes today. Dude, I have never been more thankful for one of our listeners. Yeah, the thing is it wasn't necessarily a romantic yes, but the opportunity for romance is there. I mean, by him, I'm sure he's gonna fall in love with her.

So there's no question on that. But I mean, the whole thing is hopefully she saves him from getting scammed out of tons of money. Yeah. I just think you're right. I think he needs to not talk to another woman ever. Yeah. Because he falls in love with everyone.

Yeah, who said that? Because it does feel like everybody Randall meets or talks to he immediately falls for so just yeah Brooke make sure to check your DMS tomorrow. Yeah, because there's probably a message in there that says the way you handle Just Magnanimous perhaps the universe will this call into existence just so I could hear your beautiful nasally voice and find my true compass. Yeah, nasally. Thank you, Jeff.

But Randall. Those were Randall's voice. Randall, if you're listening, please DM Alexis instead. You can hear all of our lovely voices for hours on end.
