Listen to The Daily Show Ears Edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Second date update. We always talk about how it's normal before a date to stalk their socials looking for red flags. Ah. Oh, yeah.

But what specifically are you looking for that would count as a red flag? I'm not looking for red flags. I look for the best pictures so I can show my friends my new wife. I'm like, guys, this is the girl that I'm going to marry. So you're the red flag. That's probably what I'm saying. What would be a bad thing to find?

If all of their images are extra photoshopped on there? Maybe. Maybe just a lot of pictures of cars. I don't know. It's a turn off for me. They need to ride horses. Have no electricity Oh, okay. I don't know. It's a turn off for me. They need to ride horses. Yeah, I don't know. Have no electricity. Or walk.

Yeah. I don't know. They're not an equestrian. Anti-vehicle. Brooke is coming out on the show. One of our listeners found a different kind of red flag that I don't think we've ever talked about before on this segment. So let's find out about it.

Joel, welcome to the show. Hey, thanks for having me. Yeah, dude. So what red flag did you find on your date's social media? Well, so I met this girl named Maria on the app. Yeah. And before we met up, I was just like curious. I want to just do a little bit of a background check, you know?

I love how people always try to explain themselves. Everyone does it. I know. It's fine. It's weird if you don't. We've literally been talking about it for the last minute about how it's okay to do it. Before I come into work every night, check their socials, too, just in case. In case we give you the ick.

Yeah. Oh, God, Barack. I totally support that. But what did you find on Maria's social media? I got on Maria's Insta. I was able to find it really quickly just from her name and city, whatever. And she was cool and normal, likes to be outdoors and all this stuff and i was like this is great okay okay so where does the red flag come in well i was just curious about

who's following her you know what i mean oh you're going deep oh yeah you're trying to find what her exes or something in there yeah what do you I just wanted to see what the demographic looked like. The way that you said that makes me really nervous about you, but yeah. Here's the thing. I'm looking at it. It's all whatever normal people find,

but then I see a blue check, and it's Drake. Follows her? Following her? Follows her. Well, does Drake follow a ton of people on Insta?

I don't know. Because, you know, some celebrities only follow like five people. Yeah, but then some celebrities follow everybody to make them feel special. Drake follows my dog, Bagel, so. No, he doesn't. Yeah, he does.

Thanks, Champagne Poppy, for your support. I actually believe that. Drake seems that lame to me. Joel, do you know how many people Drake follows? Like, only, like, 3,000. Oh. That is actually so lucky. For a celebrity, that's nothing.

Yeah. Maybe she works in the music industry or i've heard of people being um bottle service for him before well okay here we go so like now that's on my mind okay i can't stop thinking about it right you want to ask her about it right like how do you know drake yeah exactly exactly but at the same time you don't want to look like a creeper that's gone onto her socials and figure out yeah no i'm not gonna eat with it i'm not gonna be like hey btw how do you know drake yeah so we decide let's do dinner we're at dinner we're having a great time we're talking let's do dinner in toronto randomly all you want to talk about is like so if you met a celebrity

what would you say to them what celebrity would you want to meet hold on you're pretty darn close no like hey what's like your weirdest celebrity running oh that's not a bad question not have you ever had one it's what's your weirdest yeah dozens that you've probably met exactly and hers was with like tony danza oh god from who's the boss that's a good celebrity if i had hooked up with drake before though that's a great smoke screen to throw him off with tony just throw down tony danza and then poof never see drake coming maybe on her list drake is second to tony danza fair point wait so she never brings up drake but no i mean i wasn't done i kept trying so then i said like hey who's your celebrity hall pass?

Oh, Tony Danza. There we go. Tony Danza. How about that? Mine's Sidney Sweeney. What do you think? How about you? Nice one.

Yeah, well, you know, reach for the stars. It'll never happen. So what did she say? I don't remember who she said, but it wasn't Drake. He doesn't even care. Well, maybe because it's been there, done that. Yeah. You know?

You're not on a hall pass anymore if it's already happened. You know what? I didn't even think about that. What? Shouldn't you be, like, feeling good, though? Like, complimented almost that a person who possibly went out with Drake, I mean, if even that's the connection, would choose you? Yeah.

She hasn't mentioned him once. Come on. I will say, if anything, I can relate. My ex-girlfriend had a lot of NFL, well, like three NFL players following her. And I found out after, and it doesn't make you feel good. Well, your investigation isn't going the way that you want it to clearly. No, it's not. So I figured, you know what? One last time. Oh, you're going again. Dude, just get off already. You start singing a Drake song. I'm getting to this point to start rapping Clearly, nothing else matters to you about her,

except what is her contact with Drake? I just couldn't stop thinking about it. So, you know, we're ending the meal. I go, hey, do you like dessert? Maybe instead of dessert, we could get, like, champagne. Ah, champagne poppy. Ah. Okay, okay.

That's a stretch. Yeah. She's going to catch on. I got no chill. Still didn't get an answer on that. She was just kind of confused. So we just decided to leave. So you never found out?

I never found out. And you didn't get any champagne either? No. Oh my. Or find out anything about her life. We talked about other stuff. It wasn't just me like banging around a couple of mozzarella sticks trying to get her to say Drake. I can't tell if you're more interested

in Drake or this woman. Yeah, dude. Okay, hey, come on now. Don't make me choose. I gotta know both. Okay. Alright. We're gonna come back. We're gonna give her a call and try and see what is her connection to Drake. That's not what we're seeing.

And then maybe get you another date too. But Drake first with your second date update right after this. Second date update. Now most people on a first date ask questions like, where'd you grow up? What TV shows are you watching?

Where's your bank account at? But not Joel. He was asking, who's your best celebrity hookup and why was it Drake? That's what he wanted to say. He might as well have. I'm embellishing a little bit. But only because he noticed before the date while stalking her socials that her Instagram is followed by the rapper Drake.

Is she an influencer? Did we even ask that? We didn't ask. I feel like he would have said that, though. So he wanted to know why. That's why all day long he was hinting at, like, who's your weirdest celebrity encounter?

What's going on there? Never got an answer even remotely relating to Drake. No, but we did find out a lot about Tony Danza. We did. That came up a lot. I already forgot about that. But now Joel's also not getting a call back from Maria. And that's the hard part about this one because he needs two things from us. One is a second date, but two is finding out her connection to Drake.

And normally we can barely do one thing at a time on this show, let alone two. But I did think of a possibility. I'm just going to throw it out to the room. What if, as we're talking to her about date stuff, I bring up that as a radio show, we have to do like a background check on her socials for legality reasons. So we're not calling for like a catfish or something like that to make sure we have the right person.

Oh, you're saying you want us to call her and you want to say, hey, we saw that Drake followed you and the reason we saw it is because we were doing a background check. Exactly. Okay. You did not explain that very well, but I'm on board now. I'm glad Brooke did the recap. Okay. The insult thrown at me wasn't necessary, but

I appreciate you tossing it my way. We'll back it up. Joel, what do you think? You want to throw an insult at me too? It's pretty easy. I mean, I want to get these answers, so I'm all for that. Just don't be awkward about it like you were

just now, Jeffrey, and then it'll be fine. Just making sure you're not a catfish and we saw that Champagne Poppy follows you. My ego is dropping by the second. Let's call before I go into a full mental breakdown. Here we go. Is that easy? Hopefully Maria picks up.

She's lingering on that last straw there, buddy. breakdown here we go is that easy hopefully maria picks up hello hey is this maria this is she who's this hey this is a forgot who i was oh my god hi maria you're on the radio right now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I'm Jeff. He thinks. Why? Why is a great question. I don't know. No, we know why.

The reason why we're calling you is we're doing this segment called a second date update. I don't know if you've ever heard of that before, but it's where we try to help our listeners get in touch with someone after they've gone out on a date and they're not sure why they're not getting a call back that's weird yeah i can get that but it's supposed to be flattering because this guy named joel reached out to us and told us about going out to dinner with you and said it was an awesome of Joel? I mean, he was all right. Nice. Good looking. But he seemed really nervous the whole time and not at all like how we talked on the phone. I don't know.

He just was like rambling a lot. He was rambling. It can be different though. Nerves on the first date are really common. Right. And I think he probably had a lot of that because by all accounts you're really good looking and part of the things that i have to tell you is that whenever we call people on this segment because it's a dating thing we always check their social medias just to make sure it's not like a catfish situation because you are so gorgeous what are you doing

you checked my social media no for catfish. For catfish reasons. Why are you? Okay, sorry. That's what you said. He made it sound creepy as if we were just stalking you because you're beautiful. We just want to make sure that you're calling who we said we're going to call. And we don't rate you either. Okay. We actually don't. That one's real.

We don't assign numbers. You're not a nine. What is wrong with you? I'm saying we're not. What is going on here? Great question. I need to ask you something here, Maria. I can't see Jeff right now.

Sorry. Okay. Something that we came across when we were on your socials is that you have, I don't know how else to say it. A following. A very famous person following you. Yes. Why does it matter? Well, I think we're just curious.

It normally doesn't happen a lot when we check people's socials. We saw Drake is following you. And he won't even call in and interview us. Oh, you're laughing. I love it. I love it. So clearly you knew that. Yeah, you're laughing.

Yeah. Okay. Do you have like a professional relationship with him? I mean, I met him once. Cool. I was a dancer in one of his music videos. Oh, that's awesome. That's it.

I know a girl who's done a Post Malone video recently. You're a professional dancer. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. But I didn't even get to finish the video shoot. Why? Sorry to pry, but I didn't even get to finish the video shoot. Why? Sorry to pry, but I just mean, like, did they cancel the video shoot?

They don't normally do that. No, no, they didn't cancel it. So I was working on the moves on the side, and I didn't realize how close I was to the craft service table, and I knocked it over during one of the spins. That's so embarrassing. Oh, no. And I knocked it over during one of the spins. That's so embarrassing. Oh, God. I'm sorry.

It was. I was honestly super mortified. Oh, no. The food for everyone. Nobody gets between Drake and his bagels. You didn't get fired. Did you? Did you get fired?

I did. I did. They let me go. They said that what they're paying me is actually less than what all that food costs. That's messed up. And so Drake followed you as a pity follow? That's even more messed up.

Well, Drake has a tendency to get to know some of the dancers and he was just being friendly with a big group of us and we were all chatting about our socials and he was like, well, I'll follow you girls right now. What a flex. You can just tell a group of people like hey i'll follow you okay flexes i got fired from a drake music video for knocking over a craft service table i destroyed the cheese this clears a lot of stuff up not just for us but also practically hooked up jeff yeah well i don't

know about that but somebody who's probably relieved to hear that story is Joel, who is on the other line listening to this conversation right now. Why? Why would he be relieved? It is a good question. It shouldn't matter. I don't understand any of this. That's how the segment works. We have them listening.

Joel, are you there? Hey, Maria, I just want you to know, like, none of it was my idea, but, like, looking at your socials and stuff, like, that was all there. What? Yeah, it was. What? I mean, I... Joel, why did you even call them to call me in the first place? Well, I was curious why I didn't hear from you, you know, because we had, like, a good connection. We talked about stuff.

I think I brought up that I also write music. I don't know. Yeah, but, I mean, it wasn't that crazy good. Like we talked a little bit, but it just really seemed like you had really no interest in hearing my side of things. You just kind of kept asking me questions over and over and over and over. So I just kind of thought that you were nervous and I don't know, man, it was just kind of weird a little bit. Yeah. I'm nervous. And I know like, yeah, you're this like pro dancer with like celebrity friends and stuff. I mean, like, do you still like, I mean, I'm nervous. I know you're this pro dancer with celebrity friends

and stuff. Do you still talk to Drake at all? You're still asking this? I'm just wondering, what if we have a date and you can come over and hear my stuff? Oh, God. No. You just wanted to go on a date with her because you saw that Drake followed her and you

thought it was going to be a music hookup? No, no, no. no, no, no. That's not it at all. It's like, I mean, I like her as a person. You didn't even know what she did for a living. What did you ask her on the date? Well, now I know like we're both artists. We're both like trying to get somewhere.

And like, I don't know, like maybe we can help each other out or something. You know what I mean? Joel, I don't, I'm a dancer. I have nothing to do with the music. I learn choreography and I do it. Maybe you can like just, I don't know, like you drop. I have nothing to do with the music. I learn choreography and I do it. Maybe you can like just, I don't know, like you drop DMs to people and say like, hey, is this-

Oh no. What? No, the one time I reached out to Drake, he responded with, how do I know you? And then I told him and he laughed at me. Oh, okay. At least you replied. Well, I mean like, okay, well right there,

you talk to him and he replies. So like, you clearly have like a connection. Maybe we can like drop him a Well, I mean, like, okay, well, right there, you talked to him and he replied. So, like, you clearly have, like, a connection. Maybe we can, like, drop him a DM and we can be like, hey, listen to this track. Or, like. What? Oh, my God. You lied to us, too. That's kind of romantic, though.

No. That's more awkward than me knocking over the food table. Yeah. I mean, Joel, this is kind of shameless, the way that you're trying to, like, get a hook up and use her connections to your own benefit yeah exactly like do you think maria that drake would like my weekly song of the week do you think that's something you could ask him no because i have parodied his songs a few times could you like cool it because she's gonna talk to drake about me and not about you

oh it's a battle i'm not gonna talk to drake at all well yeah not talk slide in his dms whatever you want to call the right verbiage is facetime but i don't understand why i'm still on the phone honestly well i guess the other thing that i need to ask you is would you like to go out on another date with joel because we would happily pay for it no i don't know what you guys threw up to over there, but you totally blew this for me. Did they? Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

I mean, is it crazy for me to think that Drake is going to reach out to me after this? Yes, absolutely. That's actually the most insane thing you've said maybe all year. Drake doesn't even listen to the radio and he's on the radio. I gave a pretty good case. A lot better than Joel's

case for why Drake should be sliding into my deal. Stop fighting over Drake. He doesn't know who you are. Because Drake is totally going to take the dancer who fell into the craft services tables recommendations on who he should be producing. Well, he should because obviously Joel was

just in it for the celebrity of it all. But me, I'm an upstanding guy. Are you? I always do the right thing and I say the right thing

every time. Do you? Look at the track record. Play the tape. No, actually, don't play it. Don't do it. But I really hope

that Drake doesn't hear this and slide into my DMs at itsyoungjeffrey on Insta. No spaces. Itsyoungjeffrey on Insta. No spaces. It's young Jeffrey. You know, J-E-F-F-R-E-Y. I could actually see reverse psychology working really well on Drake.

Yeah, Drake. So, you know. Definitely don't listen to this. And don't have your life change for the better after contacting me. Come on, new best friend. But your life could change for the better, even if you're not Drake, by reaching out to the show. Because we'll call that person who isn't calling you back. Yeah. And go check
