The best things in life are worth waiting for. Oh, yeah, I could say that. Like Alexis's extremely complicated coffee orders. So worth it. Takes them 20 minutes to put them together, but when they come out, amazing. Best part of my day. Jose's back hair removal strips he ordered from China. Yeah.

Got delayed again. Oh, buddy. It's okay. They'll be here. It's going to be worth the wait. Two years, I can't wait. But one of our listeners, Ryan, says he's been waiting weeks to finally meet up with the girl that he's been talking to online. And he says when it happens, it's going to be worth it.

Wait, when it happens? Ryan, welcome to the show, man. Hey, how are you? We're good. But, like, usually when people call in, it's because they've already gone on a date with somebody. Have you not hung out with this girl yet? I mean, kind of. It was like a virtual date.

Oh. Oh, okay. So spicy. Well, hey, that's actually a newer thing that's been happening. People like to go on Zoom dates first. It's almost like a practice, like a trial. Exactly. If it's worth your time.

Exactly. And then you go on the real date. So who was the girl that you met with? What's her name? I met a girl named katrina total bombshell absolute 10 people still use that term huh in love island a hot new bombshell enter the villa it's like fashion the words just come back in style every like 50 years okay she was the bee's knee yeah what's uh what's her deal the is, she lives eight blocks away from me.

She lives right down the street. Did she offer that information or did you just find it out? Good question. No, no, she told me that because I was going to pick her up for the date. And then so she told me, you know, where she lives or whatever. Oh. And you're like, oh, my God, that's right by me. Like, what are the chances?

It happens. I remember matching with a girl once and she literally lived in the alley behind me. No, not are the chances? It happens. I remember matching with a girl once, and she literally lived in the alley behind me. No, not in the alley. What? Hold on. We shared an alley. She lived in the apartment complex behind mine. You're going after my type now, Jose.

I'm a little bit confused then. If she only lives eight blocks away, how has it taken you weeks to arrange a meetup? It feels like it should have happened by now. Why do you even do a virtual one? Yeah. Zoom, you can just yell out your window. They probably didn't know until they were talking on Zoom about the distance. Yeah.

So I thought, like, I'm like, this is great, right? So we had this date planned out. And the night of the date, she ends up texting me. And she's like, I am so, so sorry. I've been sick. I'm under the weather. Oh, no. OK. You believed her? I she's like, I am so, so sorry. I've been sick. I'm under the weather. Oh, no. Okay.

You believed her? I mean, yeah, I guess, you know, like I Zoomed her, you know, so she said she wants to see me. So she's like, let's do a Zoom thing. Oh, okay. Okay. So she didn't cancel completely on you. She still had the interaction.

How was the Zoom date? It was okay. It wasn't like my ideal idea for a date, but it was, I was like, whatever, let's do it. Well, and she's not feeling great either. So it's like, you don't want to get sick either or something. Right, right. So we hop on the video chat and you know, she's wearing her sweats or whatever, but she's looking really good. You know, she still looked super cute. I offered to Venmo her to pay for dinner. So that way, you know, it so nice, bro. What a gentleman.

That's cute. When girls are sick, I always like to offer, hey, I'll send you, you know, soup or some Gatorade. It's just a nice gesture. I thought it was nice. She declined that, though. She said she's got plenty of food at her house. She was just going to eat what she had. I was like, okay, that's cool.

You know, whatever. Well, you offered, so you get points still. Oh, for sure. Yeah, points are still on the board, I thought. You know, all right. Were you able to have a connection with her like always so awkward for me like whenever we do like client zooms or stuff i mean they're they're good but they're not as good as just being in person do you look at yourself for the person i know and they're like there's always that second of delay

and not only is it like a zoom call and all the problems that come with that but she's sick too like we're able to make it romantic? Absolutely. Like, we were flirting. We were both drinking wine. We were laughing. She's my kind of sick girl. Okay.

Hey, it makes you feel better, right? Alcohol is supposed to do something. Yeah. You know, we played this little game. It was so, so sexy. It was, like, called strip sushi. Oh. Strip sushi. I like it. I don. It was, like, called strip sushi. Oh. Strip sushi.

I like it. I don't know what it is yet, but I like it. She's in her sweatpants drinking wine playing sushi while she has the flu. Well, explain. What is strip sushi? I've never heard of that before. Yeah, so, like, I would eat a piece of sushi, and then she would take off a piece of clothing, and then, like, vice versa, you know?

I just see you, like, chugging his muck into your mouth as humanly possible. Sounds like a one-sided game. No, he said vice versa. Oh, okay. I'm sorry, I just heard the first part. I'm like, so you just eat, she gets naked, and then what happens?

How much sushi did you put down that night, Ryan? I ate a lot of sushi. You guys just fat, bloated, naked at the night, Ryan? I ate a lot of sushi. Fat, bloated, naked at the end of it. I have mercury poisoning. So how many layers of clothes do you have on? Good Lord. Okay.

Oh, man. Did you feel the chemistry there? Was that? Absolutely. Absolutely great chemistry. Dude. I was like, when are we going to hang out again? I bet you were.

Like, you want to play strip sushi face to face. Oh, yeah. This sounds so fun. This is a great vibe already. And what a bold first date. I know. You know, so how did it end? So she said, her words were like, I want to hang out as soon as possible.

I need to see you. Oh, okay. So two days later, her account is completely inactive. Oh, maybe she's just ready to concentrate on you. She found her sushi soulmate. She's like, I don't need this anymore. I don't know. I've been texting her and trying to pick a day to hang out.

And if I message her, she just changes the subject. But she, like I said, she wants to stay in contact. But, like, you know, I don't know if she stay in contact but like you know i don't know if he's seeing somebody else like i don't know it feels like to me we're just having some sort of reaction to the sushi now or she has like a boyfriend already and that's why she couldn't meet in person that's some drama yeah i don't know but like to have that much fun over zoom like i need to see this girl like i want to meet up all right okay well let's make that happen for you we're gonna order some sushi to the studio.

Maybe try to play a little strip sushi ourselves. I think it's just going to be mostly you taking clothes off without anyone eating sushi. Well, at least one person in this room is going to have fun. When we come back, we'll get to your second date update. Second date update.

Anytime I played strip sushi with someone, they never deactivate their profile. Oh, Jeffrey. And if you're just tuning in. You're just like rubbing it in? I'm just saying, they always want to do it again. They're just ordering more sushi at the last roll of time. Or they're finding other people on the line. What's wrong with you on the line?

I like to think of it my way. But if you're just tuning in wondering, what is this guy talking about? One of our listeners, Ryan, had a Zoom date recently with a lady named Katrina. And unfortunately, she wasn't feeling well. That's why instead they chose to meet up virtually. And they had food, wine. By the end of the night night someone was getting unagi which is yeah japanese for eel but it sounds a little bit like naughty and that's pretty much

what i can come up with when we're talking about sushi here but the weird part is ever since she's been kind of avoiding him and even deactivated her dating profile yeah which is a little bit odd well i just think it's odd from the beginning. You claim you're sick, and then you're up for playing strip sushi with someone. You don't really feel hot when you're sick. No. Also, we assume she deactivated,

but you can block people on dating apps, too, so she may still be active, just really doesn't like it. Ouch. Ouch. You and Jeff are piling on him. I'm just saying there's options. There's other options.

You guys do bring up some valid points, and I'd like some answers, but I just kind of want to meet up with her and have fun again more than anything. All right. I bet you do. We're going to try and do that for you, and you know what? If it doesn't work out, just send me your Zoom. You and I can play some strip sushi together. All right, brother?

Sounds good. Okay. It's a sushi train. Yeah. We we're gonna call katrina here we go hello hi katrina this is she hey um my name is is Jeff from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. And we wanted to talk to you. All right. What are you uncomfortable about? I just had visions of her playing the game.

Okay. Let's not do that. Hi, Katrina. Hello. Hi. Hey. I don't know if you've ever heard of us. We're Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning we do

a segment called the second date update and we'd like you to be a part of it and that's just me asking because you're already on it yeah so you kind of have to say yes oh okay but it's good it means that somebody really likes you and wants to see you again that's really nice but um my answer is no no thank you you don't even know what it is yet you're like halfway through it already aren't you curious curiosity would kill me yeah what if we put a california roll down on the table then would you be down excuse me imitation crab get you going we heard from one of our listeners named ryan that the two of you had a really fun Zoom date the other night. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

Was that sarcastic? He told us that you turned a Zoom date into a really fun, hot, saucy night, which is I mean, I think... Soy saucy night. Amazing. I love that so much. Soy sauce. Yeah. Amazing.

I love that so much. Did you have fun? Well, not as much fun as you guys sound like you're having right now. That's a good point. I'm sorry about that. But we're just trying to help out Ryan because he is really confused because after that night, he's having a really hard time getting the two of you to meet up in person. And he even said that your dating profile was deactivated.

Yeah. So the thing is, Ryan is, like, really cute. And I really like him. There's just something that I kind of left out. Like the wasabi? Is that what you left out no it's the pickled ginger what do you leave out okay um i don't live where he thinks i live he said you live really close to him please don't tell me you live with a man

do you live with a husband or a partner? What's so wrong with men, Brooke? Well, she would be in a relationship. Are you living with someone? Is that why? No, I do live by myself. But I live in Europe. Oh. Oh. No.

What? Oh, my God. You just recently moved in the last week. What do you mean you live in Europe? Explain. So I make different accounts and they all have the same information on them but i put them in different locations so i can meet people all around the world because if it's true love i'm willing to go anywhere

oh that's pretty romantic how are you gonna find true love if you're lying to people? Yeah. Why don't you have an international phone number? That's why she's so good at Zoom dates. She does them all the time. We call them American phone number. Right. So I have international call forwarding.

My cousin has that, actually. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, this could be good. What city are you in? Depends. Good place to visit. I mean, why are you hiding this from Ryan?

Why can't Ryan know that you live in Europe? I didn't want him to, like, not be interested because I didn't live near him. Oh, immediately. If a girl lives more than, like, an hour away, I'm like, never mind. And I do long distance out of the get-go. He said that you told him you were sick. I knew a woman wouldn't play strip sushi if she was ill.

It just wasn't going to happen. All right, here comes my top off. I did feel a little sick after the game, if that counts for anything. Nauseous from the wine? Sushi and wine? Yeah. Okay, well, I don't know how Ryan is going to feel

about hearing that information. It's a huge bomb to drop. Yeah. And it has already dropped because Ryan is on the other line right now, Katrina. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Ryan. Yeah. Uh-oh. Hey, Ryan. Yikes. You're in Europe? I am currently in Europe, Ryan. Yikes. You're in Europe? I am currently in Europe, yes. But I didn't tell you because I liked you

and I didn't want me not being where you were to inhibit us getting to know one another. She sounds nervous now. Ryan, are you down with european girls okay so like is it like a passport thing or is it like about money no no no it's definitely not about the money um like she wants to marry him for citizenship like if you want or if you wanted to like have a date that would be a really really expensive date oh my gosh yeah like if you wanted to like have a date that would be a really really expensive date oh my gosh yeah like if you wanted to have like an in-person date you would just have to like wire me some funds for like a plane ticket and like a hotel what i haven't wired since i got a fake id

i don't get it like what's your plan then your plan is to meet a guy and then hope that the guy pays for you to go to him? It is traditional for a man to pay for the first date. Jeff is right. I think they should at least go Dutch. I've always agreed. She is Dutch. It's European. It's the European way.

Is that something you're willing to do, Ryan? Would you be willing to pay for a plane ticket? I mean, like, I'm open to talking with her about it. Is that something you're willing to do, Ryan? Would you be willing to pay for a plane ticket? I mean, like, I'm open to talking with her about it. Not completely closed off to this idea. Strip sushi, the way to a man's heart. You know, I'm going to be truthful and admit that I'm bummed out that you're not eight blocks away from me. Like, I thought that was kind of cool.

Now she's like 18 hours away from you. So wait, you're not mad at her, though, for lying? Well, I mean, I get what she's saying about wanting to find true love and stuff. You know, I feel similarly to that. Okay, so let's try and make this happen for you two.

That's really cute. You want to pay for the flight. What's your credit card number? Let's not rush them. I mean, Katrina, are you cool with this? Are you cool with Ryan paying for... Yeah, he would just have to give me the money so I could buy my own ticket. I'm just really particular about

the airlines and where I sit. I've just had really bad Aka first class baby. I want that bed I think it's aka it's a scam Exactly Are you falling for it too? My god women just take their clothes off and men just do the dumbest thing I would have fallen for this in a heartbeat

I'd be like oh I get it You only know if that was her on zoom Here's $10,000 no problem I could buy her the ticket I get it. I love her style. You only know if that was her on Zoom. Oh, here. Here's $10,000. No problem. I could buy her the ticket. No, she says that she doesn't want you to buy the ticket. She wants the money to buy the ticket herself. She wants the airline miles.

Yeah. Okay. I mean, I've just never done this before. It's kind of new to me. Okay. So when can we get this set up? Are we going to do this in the next week? No. Jeffrey.

I want to do a follow-up with Dan. We're doing it in the next month. Oh, God. We could do it today. Today. I bet we could. I bet we could. She'll allow him to send her money today.

Well, the earlier you order the plane tickets, the cheaper they are. Oh, that's right. That's what it is. Oh, so true! I've heard Tuesdays are actually the best days. Are they? We should do this awkward Tuesday then. Ryan, we'll let you two talk so you can give her all of your financial information, okay?

Hey, Ryan, let's talk without everyone else around so we could get all the details squared away. Uh-oh. No, not uh-oh. Privacy is very important. No, they're just going to be playing some strip sushi. I know what you guys are really doing. All right. Congratulations, you two. Thank guys good luck i'm sure we're going to be reading about you in the newspaper

what is that you're still not getting it right you know like famous international love story or possibly he lost his kidney in russia. Here's his tell-all story. Her text board is blowing up right now with people trying to warn Ryan saying, Dude, if she wants money wired to her right now, it's definitely a scam. You two did not help him. I still am not sure. We do not have confirmation. I can't believe Jose... I can't believe Jose said, oh, she wants first class.

Yeah. It makes sense, Brooke. Some of us like to fly in the highlights. It's a long flight. You want to be comfortable if you're going to be on the plane for six, seven hours. She's not getting on the plane.

And they have those beds in first class. There's no plane. There's no plane. There's no plane. There is no plane unless we get it paid for. No. I don't even... I don't even believe she lives in Europe.

No way. That wasn't even her on the call. Totally. Oh, I get my calls forwarded. No, you don't. Actually, we got a text in that says, I think I know her. She's an American. I've matched with her.

Yeah. There it is. Her real name. I probably shouldn't say her name. No, you shouldn't. No, don't do that. I want other people to fall for this. If there's any European girls listening, Papa Bear will fly you first class to come and see me.

I'm about to make a catfish account and trick Jose. That's right. You show up with a Louis Vuitton purse. Yeah, if you want a catfish Jose possibly and score some money, some free vacation somewhere.
