Listen to Athletes First Family Podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Second Date Update. I saw something on Instagram recently

that basically sums up what I think a lot of our listeners are feeling with the online dating apps. It was a guy who says, I think my favorite part of online dating is when you match with someone And you're talking and it's going great And three weeks later

Someone somewhere loses interest And you just never talk to them again And you just keep doing that over and over And over until you're 90 And you're single and you die alone It's so true What a romantic look Brooke, aren't you upset that you got married and missed the peak era of dating apps?

Why did I do that? Well, we have a guy on the phone who says he also has become pretty frustrated with the online dating experience. His name is Steven. So, Steven, welcome to the show, man. How you doing? Yo. You sound down. I am pretty down.

Yeah. Oh, buddy. Probably just closed his Tinder app right now before he got on. So it's not going so well for you, huh? No. I mean, I just can't meet anybody. Honestly, I was so tired. I did something pretty desperate recently.

That's kind of why I called. Oh. Oh. You did something desperate? We like desperate on this show. What did you do? Well, I saw an ad online that said soulmate psychic. Oh.

That's a good catchy phrase there. Okay. What does that mean? It says for $50, the person is able to draw your soulmate for you. Draw? Oh, like a sketch of them? That's actually great. Yeah.

Because then you can see, like when you see them in real life, then you know it's them. Why do I feel like they stalk your social media and then draw your ass? That would be so brutal. But you're right, Jose. If you see them out in the world, you could just hold up this photo and be like, see it with soulmates. No, no, no. Don't bring a photo around with you. You just know in your head.

Okay, wait, wait, wait. You all believe that someone can do this? Well, if it's a psychic, yeah, Brooke is a super living. Yeah. Okay, I'm going to go with sure. Brooke already doesn't believe in your soul mate before she even knows anything about it. It doesn't sound like she believes in it

either. Well, we don't even know what the story is. So you actually signed up and did this? I did this 20 minutes later. I get the sketch email to me. Oh, it's just even over. It's online? No, no. It was a phone conversation. Oh. Oh, okay.

You talk to her and then she draws? Right. What kind of questions did she ask you? Well, she was asking me my interests. She was asking me, you know. But she's not asking for a physical description of your perfect woman. She's trying to get to know you.

Yeah, exactly. Okay. She's asking you about you, but then she's drawing the lady of your soul. So what did you think of the picture? That she's very pretty. That's good. Shocking. She didn't draw an

ugly person. That is so weird. Well, that's very lucky for him. I'm sure she draws a lot of ugly people for other people, but what did you do with the photo? I put it on my refrigerator. Okay. I don't know what you do with the photo? I put it on my refrigerator. Oh. Okay.

I don't know what to do with it. I guess you're right. What are you going to throw away? It's all mine, right? I mean, you can put it on your dating app and say, this is what I'm looking for. Yeah, right. That's so smart. Now you're thinking, Brooke.

Okay. You fill in the crack for me. Well, did anything come of it? So like a month later, I'm at this wedding and i see a woman there that's like and she looks exactly like the picture no way really yeah yeah what'd you do well first i try not to freak out i'm like oh my god yeah well now you must feel the pressure on you so what what do you do so i build up enough confidence and I go over there and I ask her to dance. Brooke, why aren't you awing yet?

This is happening. Yes. Yes. I am excited for you. And what did she say when you asked her to dance? She said yes, that we're dancing. Oh, my God. It's happening.

So now you've opened the door for true love to step through but the big question is did you tell her about the soulmate photo that was sent to you well i i told her i have a surprise for you oh no what do you mean you told her that sketchy i just couldn't hold it in it's too weird it's too coincidental wait so that night we're still at the wedding reception and you're gonna pull out the picture on your phone? No, I didn't even have a copy of it, honestly. Oh, good. I was like, I'll text it to you.

I told her I'll text it to you. What was her reaction, though? Did she laugh? I want to know what the caption was when you texted the photo. The caption was, isn't this crazy? This looks just like you. Okay. Oh, my God. How long did it take her to respond to your text?

Is it bad? My first reaction is, I have a stalker. Yeah. Or are you still waiting for a reply? Oh, my God. How long does it take her to respond to your text? Is it bad? My first reaction is, I have a stalker. Yeah. Or are you still waiting for a reply? Oh, yeah. She responded. She's like, wow, that's crazy. Hey.

Okay. But then it was kind of a different vibe from then on. She's like, I could tell something changed now and she wasn't as into me. Oh, no. Maybe you have Android because that happens and you sent in and it got blurry. Oh, God. I knew that. Brooke, I sent you a picture.

Green bubble? Yeah. She knows. I don't know. I don't think that was it. Yeah. Okay. So looking back on the events that unfolded, do you feel like maybe you shouldn't have sent her the picture?

Maybe. Yeah, he should have just brought her back to his apartment so she could have seen it on the fridge herself. So at this point, where are you at now? I mean, what are you going to do? She won't get back to me, really. I had to move on from there. Yeah. Don't do what other guys do.

Just keep texting. So did you call the psychic lady again and have a new picture drawn up? I'm kind of just back on the apps. I'm thinking maybe I need to find someone older. But you found her. So wait, wait, wait. Are we going to call this girl for you? I mean, yeah.

Now that it's been a couple months, I need answers here. Yeah, I mean, you need closure, man. I know. Anyone would. I need closure. Absolutely. Closure from what? He met his soulmate Brooke, and she's ghosting him.

They dance for three songs. Okay. The best three songs of his life. I feel like we're trying to force something here, but I'll be on board. Let's A. She'll give us answers. Yeah. Did we ever get the girl's name, by the way? Her name is Zoe. Okay.

Zoe the soulmate. Well, we're going to come back and call your soulmate Zoe and try and get you your second date update right after this. Second date update. You believe in love at first sight? Yes, Jeff. I haven't seen her yet.

Okay, so yes from Jose and from the girls. What about love at first sketch? No. Because months ago, one of our listeners, Stephen, paid a professional psychic to draw him a photo of his future soulmate. Before he's ever met her, he hung it up on his fridge. And wouldn't you know, just a short while later, he ends up meeting a woman who looks just like that photo when he was at a wedding. Her name was Zoe. And they danced and got to know each other.

Everything was on the up and up until he got home and texted her the soulmate sketch picture. She really cooled off after that. It got me thinking, though, like, how could we help him when we get her on the phone? And maybe we could say that he drew the picture after he met you. Just from memory, he's a really good artist. That it's not like a soulmate thing.

I think he just apologizes and says, I didn't mean to hurt you. Yeah, that's your really good artist. That it's not like a soulmate thing. I think he just apologizes and says, I didn't mean to hurt you. That's your answer to everything. The man should apologize for what he did. Give it to a good photo. It has to be flattering. It works. I mean, you can't lie. How long is he going to keep up that he's a good artist? It just came to him

in a moment of inspiration, you could say. That's the point. I'm not an artist. It was the heavens that just guided my hand exactly fine go with it sadly though steven is back on the dating apps now looking for older women and long distance stuff whatever he can get because he's so dejected let's not say that but we won't bring that up i'm just saying his mind is still wondering though what about my soulmate Zoe? Isn't that right, Steven?

It's true. You've never forgotten about her. Well, I didn't forget because it wasn't that long ago. Yeah, but still, a couple months, she could be in a relationship already. That's true. Well, I'm glad that we're going in with a positive attitude on this. I promise I will keep trying to be positive. Nobody in this room is going to believe in love except for me and Jose.

So we're going to do our best. Let's call Zoe and see what she has to say. The weight of love on your shoulders must be hard. It's difficult. Here we go. Hello. Two rings. She answered. i knew it zoe thank you for answering the phone right now this is zoe right yes okay did you know that too that was luck on that one but uh zoe you're on the radio

right now with a show called brooke and jeffrey in the morning oh how you doing um i mean i'm i'm okay okay yeah why am i being cold right now oh well some might say it's fate that brought us to you today but others would just say it's one of our listeners named steven who asked us to call you. No, thank you. Do you remember Steven? No, I'm not. No. Wow, guys, that picture really worked, I guess. Yeah. So, Zoe, we're doing

a segment here called the Second Date Update where we're trying to help Steven get in touch with you again because it's been a while since you've chatted since the wedding. Yeah, no. There's a a while since you've chatted since the wedding yeah no i there there's a reason why we haven't chatted okay okay well do you want to tell us i mean it seems like it's very clear why you're not calling him i mean maybe to you it's clear to him it's not we don't we don't know what you're thinking yeah i don't think it's clear to him

that i'm not really up for him wanting to date my mom. What? What? That came out of nowhere. Did he hit on your mom at the wedding reception or something? As far as I know, he hasn't met my mom. But I don't know if he told you guys. Wait, what? Hold on. This is a lot. What we

know is that you guys met at a wedding. You guys danced and had a good time yeah after the wedding he texted you a photo that looked a lot like you and then and we thought that was the reason yeah we were calling it back that it freaked you out yeah well i mean that was creepy anyway but so where did your mom come into play here yeah that's weird yeah so at the wedding he said he was surprised that i was single because he thought i was pretty whatever okay and um yeah and i was like oh yeah it's crazy even my mom's dating she's on the apps whatever i laughed about it yeah and um he texted me that photo whatever but after that

my mom matched with him on one of the apps oh my god really wait your mom tells you her matches oh yeah i mean my mom and i are fairly close and she showed me who she matched with are you thinking that he went and like matched with her on purpose i don't know that it matters probably to her yeah i don't even care how it happened. It's just the fact that it happened. Yeah, that's a great point, Brooke. Okay, well, we don't know everything about how stuff happened the way that it happened. The only person who has the answers to that would be Steven. Yeah, he may not even know. Yeah, I don't know.

Because he didn't mention anything like this when we talked to him, but he is on the other line right now waiting to speak with you, Zoe. What? Why? What? That's how the segment works. Steven, are you there? This is awkward. Sorry. Yeah, did you know that you had matched with her mom? Yeah, I told

you guys. I was back on the apps looking for maybe someone older. Yeah, you said that, but you didn't say you matched with her family member. You didn't say you went just one generation up. Also, why has your mom got that young of a dating pool? You should check her. She believes in herself.

It's inspirational. Let mom live. Okay. So you two need to talk about this clearly. Dude, what is actually wrong with you? You're going to call the station and you're going to tell them, like, you're trying to figure out what's wrong. But clearly what's wrong is you're trying to get with my mother. After trying to get with me.

We didn't know. You weren't responding to me. You were being kind of cold. I didn't know what to do. Yeah, for good reason. The first straw was you sending me that creepy picture anyway. So obviously I was going to be standoffish. And then my mom showed me her dating app

with you on it. Wait, have you been talking to her mother? We exchanged some messages. Okay. Did you send... Is a date going to happen between you and Zoe's mom? Is that on the books? I didn't want to ruin things with Zoe and I.

Aw, well he's prioritizing you, Zoe, isn't that nice? Did you send the mom the same picture you sent Zoe? I'm not going to make things with Zoe and I. Oh, well, he's prioritizing you, Zoe. Isn't that nice? Did you send the mom the same picture you sent Zoe? I'm not going to make that mistake again. No way. Okay. Now he's learning. Okay.

Steven, I even showed her the picture that you sent her to me, and she still is into you. So you guys can just go have fun. Oh, she's still into it, and she saw the picture? Wait, she said she's still into me? What? Yeah. Yeah, you go enjoy yourself.

Oh, guys, we did it. We found the soulmate. It's the mom. Oh, my God. Brooke, why aren't you cheering with me? This is so weird. So you're saying you ship the relationship with your mom and Steven. I mean, I don't know what else I can do.

I can't just tell my mom who she can and can't date. So, like, how am I supposed to talk to her about that? Just leave it alone. So, at this point, do we have a double date or? I don't know. I mean, I'm going to default to the love expert on the show, Alexis. What do you think that we should do in this situation? I mean, it's, I don't know.

She doesn't know. That's perfect. Great idea, Alexis. I don't think Zoe wants to sit at dinner with either of them. Well, she probably should because soon Stephen could be your stepdad. We have to be around a Thanksgiving table together. That's what I'm saying. You need to set boundaries with your mom if you've got the same age range.

There's got to be a div system. I mean, we would normally offer to send Steven out with Zoe, but I guess Steven will offer to send you out with Zoe's mom on a first date. That is so insulting. I am sorry, Zoe. Why is that insulting? Because. That'd be great.

He says that'd be great. Zoe's already turned him down. He's a free agent. He can date whoever he wants. Zoe, will you ask your mom for us, please? Yeah, no. Forget all you guys. I'm sorry. This can't get he wants. Zoe, will you ask your mom for us, please? Yeah, no. Forget all you guys. I'm sorry. This can't get any worse.

Actually, I'm actually worried that it can. Is your grandma still alive? Because you never know. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Wow, who knew 50 bucks on a soulmate psychic picture could work not once, but twice.

Talk about value. Getting your money's worth. I did not even think about that. It's actually 25 bucks per person at this point. That's great. You could call it a family deal. You really could. If you think about it, Zoe was just the breadcrumb that led Steven to his eventual destiny.

Yeah, love still prevails. You think the psychic picks big families so that this can happen? She's asking how many siblings do you have? Ten. I mean, what if, I know we're all skeptical, but what if they really are meant to be? Would that second date update update be the most anticipated one we ever did on this show? They'll turn this into a movie. We will be a part of Hollywood someday.

Have you guys not been following the Miley Cyrus family drama right now? No. Oh, my God. Her mom, Tish, got married to a guy that her younger sister was dating. The whole thing is a hot mess. Those two aren't talking. It doesn't end well. I'm just telling you.

I heard it's a hot, and I like that. It truly is. And we can turn your life hot too. If you email us for help with your dating life, we'll call that person who's not calling you back.
