Helping daters in distress, just swooping in, trying to save the day. I mean, we kind of are. I like that. No, you know what? That's negative thinking. Being a superhero is negative thinking. It's so self-involved. We need to change our attitude to a more positive outlook.

Okay. Instead of just saving other people's lives, doing the bare minimum, we need to actually make them better and improve their love lives. You know what I'm saying? Haven't we been trying to do that? No. I think by the end of this phone call, I want our listener, Ivan, to not only get a second date, but I want to have a wedding day, lockdown, and names chosen for their future babies.

Are you guys with me? No. You're crazy. You're the crazy dater now. Oh, love is crazy. Is that what you're saying? No, you're a little clingy. A little clingy, Jeffrey.

I'm trying to think positive and do more than the bare minimum for these people. Ivan, I've got a lot of baby name suggestions for your future children, but before we get to that, tell us about the name of the woman that you would like us to call today. And have kids with. Yeah, that's a whole lot to comprehend there. Her name is Bridget. That's a gorgeous name. That sounds like the name of someone that is

your soulmate. I don't know what Jeffrey's been smoking today or whatever. Brooke, you got to hit this love pipe. I'm telling you. It is worth it. Let's go back to Bridget. Sorry, tell us more about Bridget. How did you meet? We met on a dating app. Okay. Nice.

Sounds like marriage. Yeah. So what did you guys do on your date? So we messaged a little bit on the app, went out for dinner, got some ramen. Good choice. Is it a good choice? Well, you slurp a lot when you eat ramen. That's what I'm saying saying it's a little bit of a messy first date but maybe messy's good it could be character remember he's on that positive train right now you're on that positive like a little messy boy

what was dinner like i thought dinner was great and then we actually went out for a walk afterwards. That's always good, bro. A walk is good, but a stroll is better. No, shut up, Jeff. It's a romantic stroll is what you find in the rom-com. If she agrees after the date to spend more time with me. No, it's not the same. Ivan, tell us like a highlight. You know, like, yeah, you went to dinner and you went on a walk, but like, where was the connection at? I took her to this old bookstore and we kind of talked about our favorite books that we loved while we were growing up.

And we left little post-it notes in the parts of the books that we particularly liked. And we wrote down why we liked them and what drew us to the books. So that when people are going to come in and look at these books, they're going to see these little messages from previous readers of the book. That's really cute. So, I mean, not something I would ever do. Alexis doesn't like to read a lot. Me too.

I think that's awesome. So, I mean, is that something you planned ahead? Like you brought the post-it notes with you? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was a big one that I came up with right before the date. I really liked it. What did Bridget think about the post-it note idea? I mean, she seemed really into it. We stayed at this bookshop for like an hour doing this. Oh, my gosh. Wow. That's a lot of going

through books. And the one employee that's like, now I have to take all these post-its out of these books. I don't know. How did the rest of the date go? I mean, that was just the end of it there. I thought it ended well. I was like, hey, we should do this again sometime. She agreed to it, and then we said our goodbyes, and I didn't hear back from her. And I'd been texting her, and I even texted her right before I reached out to you guys.

I asked her why she hadn't been getting back to me. And did she respond? She texted back a one-word reply. Oh. Oh, no. What was it? It was just seatbelt. Seatbelt?

Seatbelt. Is that two words? Yeah. Did that mean anything? She typed it as one. Oh, okay. Did that mean anything to you? Your guess is as good as mine. Oh, okay. Did that mean anything to you?

Your guess is as good as mine. I have no idea what that meant. Did you wear seatbelts in the car when you drove her home? Maybe you didn't wear one and she didn't feel safe that you weren't. To be honest, I don't even remember if I was wearing one. I thought I was. Maybe I don't really keep track of how many times I'm wearing a seatbelt while driving. But that shouldn't be a deal breaker. Was one of the books that you read about seatbelts?

A how-to guide? Yeah, how-to seatbelt for dummies? They're boring, Brooke. No, I don't remember if any of the books were about seatbelts. And that's why I said to her, I was like, seatbelt, what does that mean? And no response. Nothing. No response.

We've got a seatbelt mystery on our hands. And you've come up with no theories. Again, that's why I'm reaching out to you guys. This is kind of out of character for me to just put myself out there like that. Well, we're going to play a song. We'll come back. We'll call Bridget for you, and we'll give her the code word seatbelt. And we'll see what she says when we do your second date update right after this, okay?

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. Hold on. Ivan, I've been thinking about future baby names for when this whole second date thing works out. I thought we told you to slow it down. No, I'm looking ahead. This is going to work. And, Ivan, what do you think about our buckle?

Our what? Like buckle? Like a seatbelt? Oh, because of seatbelts. Yeah? Okay. That's cute Like a seatbelt? Oh, because it's seatbelt. Oh, okay. That's cute. It's not. Oh, really?

Thanks, Brooke. It's not. Okay, what about click bee? Oh, no. Again. Click bee? That sounds like a robot. No, it's like click. Click like a seatbelt.

Yeah. Like two pieces of, okay, no. Let's just not. It's cute. Yeah. It's the one thing that ties the two of them together is the word seatbelt. Yeah, I guess. Again, I kind of just want that second date.

Yeah, dude, we know. I'm just saying, you know, maybe it doesn't sound amazing right now. Okay. But when I'm officiating your wedding on June 23rd of next year, I just want you to think of those names. Why are you doing this? He is not going to want us to make this call because you're being psycho. Because I believe in love too hard? Oh my god. Is that what it is?

Exactly, because you believe in love too hard. Okay, well, if you're just tuning in for the second date update, Ivan took a woman named Bridget out to dinner. Afterwards, they took a stroll, visited a bookstore, where they spent an hour leaving sticky notes in old books like a romantic first date book

report. I know. Very passionate stuff. It's like the cliff notes of dating. Afterwards, Bridget wasn't getting back to him. So Ivan just texted her, why are you avoiding me? And she actually responded to that with one thing saying seatbelt. He's not really sure what that means, but we're going to try and find out when we call her in the second date update. You ready to do this, Ivan? Let's do it. God, I hope we can figure this out for you because it does sound like a really romantic date. Yeah, it was a great date. I really liked her. But beyond all that, I'm kind of just thrown off by this whole seatbelt thing.

I almost want to find out what the whole seatbelt thing was more so than the date. Hopefully we can accomplish both. Yeah. What is a new dating term that we don't know yet? And it's a good thing. Like bread crumbing or ghosting. You're getting seat belted. Seat belted.

Seat belt or something. Okay. We should have Googled this. Let's find out. I'm going to dial the number right now. Ready? Let's do it. Okay, here we go.

Hello? Hi, can I speak to Bridget, please? Yeah, this is Bridget. Who's this? Hi, Bridget. My name's Jeffrey from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. How are you doing? Um, fine. I'm sorry, how did you get my number? Well, we actually got your number from somebody that you went on a date with recently. Because we're doing something called a second date update.

Wait, somebody I went on a date with gave you my number? That's kind of creepy. Yeah. Okay, well, we got to that quickly. I mean, he did it for a good reason because he really enjoyed his time with you. And now he's wondering why you're not getting back to him. His name's Ivan. Wow, okay. Okay. He sounds like a really nice guy.

Sure. Yeah. I mean, and he told us a little bit about the things that you did together. He mentioned that you guys went and got ramen. You went to a bookstore, took a stroll. And then after the date, he did say that you were avoiding him a little bit. And he asked you why. And you texted him one word, seatbelt. Actually, that's two words. I knew it. I knew it. We thought that might be the case.

But that's what Ivan said to us. Are you sure? Is a seatbelt one word? Can it be used interchangeably? I don't know. Maybe. I mean, that's a whole other debate. Maybe in Europe it's different.

I think Boise's a little different. I don't know. It's spelled with a U in Europe. You know what? Let's forget the second date update and let's break down the word seatbelt for the next 10 minutes. Do they buckle on the right or the left? Bridget, the thing is, is he has no idea what you're talking about. Yeah.

Like, it is a total mystery to him. Wow. You know what? It's actually kind of funny that he still doesn't get it. Oh, it's like a joke. I mean, you're saying it should be that obvious? Yeah. Like, it should be painfully obvious.

Oh. Well, it hasn't been. Maybe if you just told us, we could pass along the information to Ivan. Yeah, fine. So he picked me up, and we're driving. And you know how, like, if you don't buckle your seatbelt, like, that really annoying alarm just keeps going off know how like if you don't buckle your seatbelt like that really annoying

alarm just keeps going off saying like buckle up, buckle up. Mine's just a dinging noise but I don't know if your car talks. My car's so loud. That's what she meant, Jeffrey. Ding, ding, ding. I know but it's saying to you buckle up, buckle up, buckle up even though it's ding,

ding, ding. We got you. You want the answer or not yeah sorry bridget i apologize i don't know if he was just like really nervous on the first date or what but he was completely oblivious to the fact that it kept going off and like i tried to bring it up i didn't want i don't know it's first date it's weird so i tried to be like you know hey do you hear that sound and he's like oh yeah there sirens. Like, how do you not hear this? And, like, you know, it was a cute idea.

Like, we put notes in the books, but we're finding these children's books and, like, writing notes for them is what he had us do. Like, he brought Post-its. And, anyways, he had to ask me how to spell words to write on the notes. Okay, no one judge bad spellers. Get out of here. What's the word? What word is he needing help with?

They were easy words, like not more than like six letters. Yeah, but like if you're talking receive, I couldn't spell it to save my life. Okay. I before E except after C. Yeah, exactly. Is that a thing? It is, but it's not always true. English is very tricky.

But if you're going to a bookstore, shouldn't you be good at words? No. I read constantly, and I'm a terrible speller. Well, okay. I guess everybody is allowed to have their own personal dating deal breakers. I'm looking for a guy who's an intellectual, who's smart, who can keep up with me, and I just felt like he was a little, like, sweet guy, but a space cadet. Oh, I think you didn't give him enough of a chance.

I'm sticking up for the bad speller and the partially deaf person. Yeah. I don't know about that. I mean, I don't know. How else could you not hear the dinging? I mean, it is a good point. You can go on a date with him.

No, I don't want to. I want you to go on a date with him, because I think he really likes you, and he thinks that you guys had a connection. Let's see if that's still true after all that was said because I need to tell you, Bridget, Ivan's been on the other line listening and he heard everything that you just said.

Are you kidding me? If he's paying attention, I don't know. Ivan, you still there? Wait. Nope. I'm here. I'm here. I'm kind of shocked that that sounds really petty everything i just heard okay but before you how do you spell petty

you spell it bridget that's how you spell it i just didn't have as good of a time and I'm sorry that we didn't have the same experience. Well, then why didn't you say that? Why just be all cryptic with just the seatbelt? Which, by the way, are you my driving instructor? Like, are you judging everybody you date by their driving skills? You know, if you're not smart enough to use protection in the car, it just makes me nervous about everything else.

Oh. That is a bold statement about life. okay if you're that concerned about protection why didn't you tell me to put on my seat belt you know i didn't want to be rude you're an adult and i thought you can make your own decisions so i tried to hint at it and tell you and you were completely oblivious okay so what i i forgot to put my seat belt on i'm sorry i guess but jesus that just sounds a little much to me i mean okay i mean i think you guys obviously ivan you have kind of hurt feelings right now and bridget you didn't know he was on the phone so it's not your fault for just being honest like a little brutally honest yeah but like didn't you i mean it sounded like you guys connected in some ways.

Like he put a lot of effort and thought into creating a romantic date for you. Yeah, for sure. And I think if you go find like a kindergarten teacher or something, it's like a sweet girl. I think she would love that. Now you're insulting kindergarten teachers. No. I'm saying somebody who's sweet and patient and can deal with, you know. Well, I don't know anybody who can pass your standards then because, my gosh, it sounds like you're looking for, I don't know, a robot, a self-driving car.

Someone who can spell and wear their seatbelt? Yeah, literally. He's asking for a lot there, Bridget. I mean, you're just not my person. Ding. What was that? Huh? Ding. Oh, it's a seat person. Ding. What was that? Ding.

Oh, it's a seatbelt. Ding. Yeah, you hear how annoying it is? What are you dinging? Ding. Ding. Ding. No wonder she got annoyed. Is this how you're getting back at her?

I think it's a diss. Yeah. Or maybe. Oh, yeah. Ding. Okay. Or maybe it's the studio telling me that this is the time for me to ask would you guys like to would you guys like to go out on another date bridget we'll pay for it

no you can save your money oh my god i'm standing up for you stop the dinging. Now you spell dinging. I literally want to put on a seatbelt right now. I know, I feel like I... He's kind of funny, though. Ivan, did you hear what she just said, or did you miss it? I couldn't hear anything she said. All I heard was the digging. Oh, wow.

Okay, Ivan. She said no to a second date. I'm sorry, man. Too bad. Just want to let you guys know I passed my driver's test with a perfect score, so I Ivan. Yeah, she said no to a second date. I'm sorry, man. Too bad. Just want to let you guys know I passed my driver's test with a perfect score, so I don't know what she said. Okay, you show her. Buckle up one time.

The spelling test, though, is a different story. Sorry. You know what I mean. Ding. Moving 92.5. Catch Jon Stewart back in action on The Daily Show and in your ears with The Daily Show Ears Edition podcast. From his hilarious satirical takes on today's politics and entertainment
