Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update - Second Date Update: See Ya Later

Episode Date: August 23, 2024

One of our listeners is in the airline industry and she dropped some serious INSIDER CODE that flight attendants use, and it ended up turning into an INSTANT DATE. Will there be a second one though? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jon Stewart is back in the host chair at The Daily Show, which means he's also back in our ears on The Daily Show Ears Edition podcast. Join late night legend Jon Stewart and the best news team for today's biggest headlines, exclusive extended interviews and more. Now this is a second term we can all get behind. Listen to The Daily Show Ears Edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Today's caller said she's taking a risk just by coming on the radio today. And she does not want someone that she knows to hear this and figure out who she is. What? So are we using an anonymous name or something? Not quite that.

Okay. Plus, her voice sounds exactly like Minnie Mouse, and it's very recognizable. Oh, my gosh. It's Minnie Mouse with a confession. She doesn't want Daisy to know. Okay. I'm cheating.

I'm joking about that part, but that would be kind of funny. She has requested, though, that we beep out her name for this segment, and we've agreed to do that. Let's talk to her and try not to say her name too many times for our editor's sake so let's all welcome to the show hi guys how's it going hey lady on the phone thanks for agreeing to be on with us yes thanks for protecting my privacy uh-huh well as much as we can yeah but you know the thing is is that when people come on the show they think that everyone's gonna hear it and listen and we wish that was the case

but yeah good advertising for our show the reality is it is true i have a lot of friends who listen to the show faithfully oh thanks girl oh that's cool you're one of the groups that like talks about us and like goes over the show every day. Well, hopefully they don't figure you out, but let's get into your date. What's the reason that you emailed us for a second date update? Yes. Okay, so I work as a flight attendant for a

major airline. Okay. I don't know if you are aware of this, but there's like a code that we use for different things. Like if there's an unruly passenger, we'll say I'm not going to tell you what those are. But they're saying. To like alert the other flight

attendants that there's like a passenger that's acting up. Flight attendants, we are out of pretzels in the front of the cabin. Pretzels immediately, please. Emergency pretzels. Whatever it is. Okay. Yeah. Exactly. So I will tell you what one of them is because this was like not an official one. But after we've landed, all the passengers are getting off.

And if it's an all-girl flight, then we'll play a game called See You Later. See You Later. Yeah. And when the passengers are deplaning, usually you'll say, good night. Thank you for flying with us. You know, have a beautiful evening, blah, blah, blah. Right. But if we see like a cute guy, we say, see you later.

Oh. With your fingers crossed, like, oh, please. Exactly. And just give him your hotel room. That's a code? Yes. It is a very subtle way to hit on a guy without getting fired. Oh.

Okay. That's so interesting. I didn't really know that this was happening. It's an interesting way to flirt with someone when it's code And they don't know the code Do you know what I mean? Well, it's also a way for me to tell the other flight attendants Like I call dibs on him

Like if we see him in a baggage claim or something like that It would not be a good look For the flight attendants to be like dibs, dibs, dibs And people are leaving the plane Have a good day, sir, goodbye, dibs on you, bye You have a great day Well, that's just for sportsmanship. Totally.

So wait, is this how you met someone? By telling them, see you later? It is. Oh my God. On my flight, there was a really cute guy. And so I see you latered him. Yeah. It makes you misheard it.

He's like, no. No way she said that. Does he have a reaction to that? Or did he just think that was normal? You know, I couldn't really read his reaction at the time because he just kind of paused and kind of looked at me. Okay. And then didn't say anything and he just walked off the plane. So I was like, well, okay, I guess I won't see him later.

But I did. Oh, you did? Where? I did because he came back and he was like, hey, I think I left something at my seat. And then he said, can you hold this for me? And I was like, I'm not really supposed to hold like passenger's bags, but it was not a bag. It was his business card. Oh, smooth.

Whoa. He didn't say give it back, right? And what was the name on the car? Did you learn his name at that point? It was Liam. Oh, my. The hot name. You both? It was Liam. Oh, my God. The hot name. You both are doing really well in this game.

Yeah. You know? Yeah. You're supporting each other. So did you end up seeing him after the flight? I did. So it was like 40 minutes later, and I texted the number on his business card, and he responded, texted me an address, and just said, drink.

Okay. Forward. In a few words as well. Yes, just bold, very minimalistic. It's kind of hot. So you went to his mom's house and how did that go? Can you imagine that's the address?

We were both just visiting that city. He each had a hotel. Let me preface this by saying I was not looking for a hookup. That's not my thing. This is just like a way for me to meet guys and get to know them. Okay, it's fine if it's your thing, though. Okay, I always feel like women preface this because they, you know.

Brooke's constantly looking for allies who are on board with the one night stand. Honestly, like no judgment here. Did you hook up with them? No. Okay. I had a flight the next morning, so I did meet him for drinks. And there was no like awkward silences or stuff like that. We never addressed the see you later.

But I mean, I don't think we had to at that point. We were already seeing each other later. Totally. So how did you guys leave it? So my hotel was walking distance. So I was like, do you want to walk me to my hotel? And he was like, sure. I would think, I mean, to him, I would read that as an invitation to come to my room.

Brooke reads everything as an invitation to come to the room. No, I think that's normal. Yeah, come to my hotel. Yeah, because it's like she invited him. It's not like he said, oh, let me walk you to your hotel. Like, it sounds like an invitation. When I was telling him about my early flight,

I was like, I really got to wrap this up and go to bed. How did you say bed? Bed? Bed. I think I said sleep. I think I might. She made it very clear

she's not looking for a hookup tonight. I don't know. No means no, Brooke. I can't believe I have to explain this to you. I think I might. She made it very clear she's not looking for a hookup tonight. I don't know. No means no, Brooke. I can't believe I have to explain this to you. I know that. I'm just saying maybe he had different expectations of what it was. Okay, that's possible. So he got you back to your hotel and then what was the last thing you guys said to each other?

So I waited outside with him for his Uber and you know, when his Uber came, we had this kind of weird like are we gonna kiss moment and the energy just wasn't kind of right so i didn't lean in and he didn't really lean in just kind of said bye no kiss no hug it was kind of weird um okay yeah but i texted him afterwards just to kind of like move over that because I don't, that's like a weird energy to leave the date off. Okay, so that was the last time that you guys have spoken to each other and seen one another.

Correct. He never responded to that text. Okay, so you're looking to reconnect with smooth Liam from your flight here. We're going to come back. I want you to. I'm excited about Liam. Brooke's a little too excited from how this conversation has gone. Even I'm excited for this.

We'll come back. We will give Liam a call and try and get you your second date update right after this. All right? Okay. All right. Hold on. Second date update. I had an inkling that flight attendants were kind of crafty, but I had no idea that they

had a secret code phrase for cute passengers on their flight. Heck yeah, they do. Let's go. It makes sense. Yes. You missed it in part one. One of our listeners, and I'm not even going to say her name because we'd have to beep

it out since she wants to stay anonymous here, but she's a flight attendant who noticed a cute passenger while he was deplaning and gave him a different kind of farewell greeting. Yeah. One with some prolonged eye contact, too. That was part of it. Instead of saying goodbye or have a good night like they usually do, she told him, see you later. Yeah.

Which is code for I think he's cute. Yeah. And it lets the other flight attendants know that she's called dicks. Should we be offended none of us have ever heard that told to us getting off a plane? I don't think I have. I'm just going to chalk it up to I didn't realize, so I don't remember. I'm sure. I'm just more curious to ask

our caller here, what's the code for the less desirable passengers on the flight? Is it see you never when they leave? What do you say there? We don't do that. It's just thank you. They don't emphasize hell and hello. You know how to know.

You guys truly are polite in the service industry. But anyway, the passenger's name that she met up with was Liam because he picked up on what she was trying to put down. They met for drinks later that night. Now he's not texting her back, though. I mean, isn't it kind of just like everybody's fantasy to be like hot flight attendant you're on a trip you're meeting at a bar no no no get me down on the tarmac with the bag boys can you imagine their biceps i am with you on that one too everyone has different things they want but our caller wants liam so let's give him a call and see if he picks up.

You ready? Yeah. All right, here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Liam? Yep. Man of few words there, Liam. Although we have kind of heard that that's who he is.

Oh, that's a good point from the tech. So Liam, sorry to interrupt your day like this. Can I just say who am I speaking with? Yeah, we're a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Hi, Liam. Hi. And I'm Jose, your pilot speaking. Liam, you got any peanuts in the front cabin?

Yeah. He doesn't get it yet. He doesn't get it yet. We haven't gotten to that point in the story. Hey, remember that joke and say it to yourself later and then laugh, okay? I don't know if he will. It might be funny in a few minutes here, but we're doing something called a second date update,

trying to get you back in touch with one of our listeners you hung out with the other night, who's a flight attendant. Yeah. Hey. Okay. Do you know who we're talking about? Yeah. Okay. I assume there's only one flight attendant that's been in your life recently.

Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. We're not going to say her name because she's asked us not to. I am very confused right now. Yeah. Sorry. We're not going to say her name because she's asked us not to. I am very confused right now. Yeah. We'll try and clear things up. So this listener of ours told us about how you guys met on that airplane.

She said you had a connection. You went out for drinks, and that went really well. At least that's what she thought. And she texted you after, and you have not responded since. Uh-huh. Yeah. and she texted you after and you have not responded since. Uh-huh. Yeah, so you just left her unread and she thought that there was a, you know, a legitimate thing happening maybe.

I can't. Are you joking? Is this a prank or? No. Why would it be a joke? I mean, she literally reached out to us because she said, you guys had a wonderful time together, and she just wants to hang out again and isn't sure why that isn't happening. Why is that shocking to you?

Well, I honestly, you know, I do remember the text. She did text me afterward, and I thought it was a pity text, honestly. What? What do you mean? You didn't think she was into you? Absolutely what I thought. What? Yeah.

Here's what the text she sent me said. Okay. I had a really nice time. Okay. You're a lot of fun. Okay. So I thought that was that. I was like, okay, that didn't go the way I thought it would.

Well, I'm just trying to decode what she said there, and it sounds like she had a nice time with you. What's negative about that text to you? Well, okay, so I thought we did have a really good time, and then I walked her back to her hotel, and then she waited outside with me while I waited for my Uber. Yeah. That seemed like things were going good. The Uber came and I opened up the door and we stood there and there was weird energy for what seemed like an eternity. It had to be close to a minute. And I was waiting for her to say,

see you later, and she never did. And so I thought, oh, okay. And I got in the cab, and I was gone. She didn't say see you later. She felt the weird energy, too, but in a totally different way than you did. So wait, you were waiting for her to say a specific phrase? Yeah.

Well, just like anything that was like, catch a hope to see you again, right? No, I was waiting for her to say, see you later. Exactly. Why? That's the code. He wouldn't know the code? Why would he know the code? I do know the code. I do know the code.

I have a friend who's a pilot. Oh my god, you do know the code. What's his who's a pilot oh my god what's his name what airline does he work for yeah or her name give us his badge number if they have badge i'm not i'm not gonna divulge that this is just like that common in the airline industry that everybody that works in in an airline knows this code or this one particular airline has like people with very loose lips it's part of the training course in a lot of ways it's part of the training course okay now when you interact with an attractive customer so your whole reason for thinking that she's not interested in you is because she didn't specifically say see you later yeah exactly that's correct she didn't say wow see you later and in the text the

text just said you're a lot of fun, but she doesn't know that you know. It's not as hot to not use it over and over again. And the code is for all the other flight attendants she's working with, not for you. This is a miscommunication, brother. That's weird. What do you think it means that she's asked a radio show to reach out to you on her behalf? Does that give you kind of a hint that maybe she likes you? She wants to hear you later.

Or would you rather hear that directly from her because she's on the other line right now wanting to talk to you that's not the code though has she been listening to this whole thing you there secret flight attendant hello hey hi leah hi Hello. Hey. Hi, Liam. Hi. That's cute. You could have mentioned that you were a pilot. Well, I'm not. I have a friend who's a pilot, and he told me about this. And so when you said see you later on the plane, I was taken aback.

But that's why I came back and gave you my business card. I was genuinely shocked. I thought you were talking to someone back and gave you my business card. I was genuinely shocked. I thought you were talking to someone else. Oh, my God. That's so cute. Aw. And then you guys went out and had a good time. Yeah.

Yeah, we did have a good time. I mean, I don't get it. What are you saying? Are you saying that you want to see me again? Oh. He doesn't think that you want to see him again because you haven't said the words to him. And you still haven't said them since we've been on the phone.

Men are so literal, aren't they? We absolutely are. Spell it out. Everyone in this room is waiting for those three magic words. Liam, I would like to see you later. That was more than the three words. Jeff, don't be kidding me.

She added in his name. Well, that's not one of the code words. But anyway. Oh, great. Okay. Hey, this is cute. Jeff's not going to let it happen. This is cute.

It is. All right. So what we would like to do, the whole thing that we do here is offer to send you guys out on another date that we would pay for. Yeah. Oh my god, heart eye plane emoji. That way you guys can see each other later. I would like

to see you later. Well, I'm not on the table here, man. It's her. I wasn't talking to you. Is that cool with you? You're up for meeting up again? I would love to, as long as we don't have to say this every single time. I feel like that is very good to put down right now.

Instead of I do at your wedding, it's going to be I see you later. He does sound like a man who doesn't, like nothing ever gets old for him. All right, well, congratulations, you guys. You guys are going to meet up again in real person. In real person? In real life. IRL Jeff. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

We're getting a lot of texts at 78592 from people saying that this has completely changed the way that they're going to fly now forever. Oh, my God. One guy said, now, whenever I leave a plane, if they tell me goodbye or goodnight, I'm going to respond back, don't you mean see you later? That's so creepy. You're going to be put on a no-fly list.

Don't do that. And you know there's some Australian airline that teaches them to say, all right, see you soon. And they're going to be like, oh. I don't know if this listener that we had realizes what she did, but she revealed the secret flight attendant code for how to spot a cute passenger. Other flight attendants are texting in other codes. Can we just say that this couple is so cute?

I am happy that they got a second date, but I am worried now that the cat's out of the bag, what our listeners are going to do with that information. But anyway, make sure you go check out our second date podcasts of here, all of our second dates, wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey. And remember,

you can always email us. We'll call that person who isn't calling you back.
