where no one could agree on what color it really was? Yeah. I could see it both ways. Really? So weird. Your eyes are that bad. Yeah, they are. So progressive, Brooke.

Apparently, that's one of the things that happened on Tara's date. Because apparently there was some sort of debate that her and her date couldn't agree on. Oh, no. It's kind of similar to the debate that we have in studio every day. Are Jose's pun jokes really funny or super funny? Thank you. I'm neither of those options, though. You're not allowed in that debate.

Sorry. We're going to find out what happened with Tara, though. Super punny. Let's talk with her. Welcome to the show, Tara. Hey, guys. Thanks for having me. Oh, my God.

Are you having pun problems? Because I can help you, Tara. No, it doesn't have to do show, Tara. Hey, guys. Thanks for having me. Oh, my God. Are you having pun problems? Because I can help you, Tara. No, it doesn't have to do with puns. It's something else. Oh, my God. All right. We'll still help you. We're not experts in it, though.

I love that you got in a fight on your first date is what it sounds like. Oh, no. Tell us about the guy that you went out with. So I met him online. His name's Ian. Okay. Were you excited about Ian? I mean, you sound kind of like... Well, hopefully she was

excited. Hopefully she wasn't bummed out. She doesn't sound very excited. No, some hot girls are like another night, another day. Totally. Another free meal. I mean, I don't know. I kind of call it a free food stamp, you know? Like, it's my weekly food. They should make that dating app.

Yeah. So wait, were you looking forward to more than a free meal with Ian? Yeah, I mean, he seemed really great. We've seen his vibe. We had a lot in common. I was excited, you know? Okay. So how does an argument come up on date one?

It's complicated. So we both agreed to meet up in this park, and, like, we both love going on long walks, so I figured there's no beach nearby, so might as well just walk in the park. That's not just a cliche that people say? I think people actually enjoy it. Okay. So you're going to go walk in for your first date? So the plan was to walk for a while so that we could end up at a restaurant.

Okay. That's better. I like walking to food. Work up an appetite, too. Okay. So's it. That's better. I like walking to food. Work up an appetite, too. Okay. So how does that go? So, like, on the way to dinner, we passed this really cool farmer's market. It was a couple fruit stands, and

I said, oh, look, let's grab a couple small oranges. Yes! We're local. That's great. And he hates oranges! Is that what happened? No. Get this. He said, oh, no, those are actually clementines oh clementines like the smaller yeah they're almost like cuties okay okay so he corrected you yeah and i said same thing they're just oranges just small you know oh yeah did you say it with that tone it's already i, I don't know.

I can get a little sassy, but I think stupid to me that he corrected me. I agree with you on that. Pick your battles, right? Yeah. But he was adamant about this, and we started a whole argument. Wow. Kind of know-it-all. Interesting, yeah.

I mean, how do you go back and forth on this argument for that long? Like, how long did it last? Maybe like four to five minutes. We got over that eventually. And I was just like, you know, let's just talk about something else. Oh, well, that's good. You move on. But interesting.

Yeah. But then you're just there. Like, it's just still sitting with you. You know, that's always a healthy phrase to utter on a first date. Like, OK, let's just stop fighting and move on yeah i'm not even on the date yet technically hopefully you did move on yeah we did and okay we were walking past like general streets and we walked past like a parked motorcycle and he stopped to look at it for a while and he told me he'd always wanted to get one

okay oh he's a bad boy or he's just trying to show off like i've always wanted to get one. Oh, he's a bad boy. Or he's just trying to show off. Like, I've always wanted a motorcycle. But, I'm a nurse, so I said, oh, you've always wanted to die? Yeah. Oh, geez. That's a little extreme. That's harsh. That's my mom's response, too, after being an EMT for 14 years. Yeah.

So it led to another fight? That led to more arguing, a little bit. We got over that as well, too, but I said, you know what? To each their own. Can I ask, I mean,

you're calling to get another date with this guy. How can I ask that? Do you like him? You guys just sound like you vibe at all. Yeah. I vibe with him.

I just think we both have strong personalities. Okay. But you want to give it another chance. So is there, like, a good part of the day? Yeah, let's get to some of the happy moments at the restaurant.

Oh, goodness. Well, we never ended up going to the restaurant. You didn't? Why? So we ended up finding a lost dog wandering the street. So we both felt bad and we stopped to help it. Oh, you finally agree on something though. You have a common goal.

This is good. The lost dog. A little stray., you finally agree on something, though. You have a common goal. This is good. The lost dog. A little stray. But you disagreed on what breed of dog it was. Well, kind of disagreed because I thought we should bring it home, give it food, make sure it's safe, and call the owners. And he's like, no, we need to stay here with the dog and wait to see if someone comes by. Why wouldn't you just call, like, animal control? The humane society and take it there?

What, you want to put it down, Brooke? No, that's terrible. Why would you do that? No kill doctors, Jeffery. Well, I wanted to call the owners, because I'd like to see if I could find someone in the area. So what did you just do? Well, I just kind of stayed with the dog. Like, I found its collar on it, so I tried to call the owners, but no one really answered.

Oh, no. What did you do then? You adopted at that point together as a couple? Well, I ended up convincing him to make flyers, which he did at a kink out down the street. So I guess there's something good about him. Oh, gosh. So wait, the date turned into a rescue mission.

You guys took a picture on your phone and started putting up flyers? Yeah. I mean, an hour later, somebody called about the dog after we made the flyers. That was kind of cool. See, the flyers? Yeah, I mean, an hour later, somebody called about the dog after we made the flyers. That was kind of cool. See, the flyers worked. Okay, that's really cute that you guys, you put a dog in front of your guys' quarrels and your date, and you decided to do a humanitarian thing. Well,

a dog-manitarian thing. Sure. That's cute. After the owner picked up the dog, I mean, is that when the date ended? Yeah, I wanted to eat, like, a late dinner with him, but he said he was exhausted so probably mentally all right so that was that was the end of the night then yeah i mean since then we only texted a little bit he hasn't really asked me out but look i oh you have texted i think a lot of people texting in are saying like what why did she even want a second date listen i get it this is one of those random nights where nothing kind of went right and you just want to redo if i'm assuming correctly

yeah i mean i i don't mind a fiery romance i kind of felt that yeah that's a good thing you should be able to nothing says hot like clementine versus oranges all right let's get another argument going when we reach out to ian ourselves we'll call him and we'll get your second date update coming up right after this. Okay? Thanks, guys. Hold on. Second date update.

It's the long-awaited sequel to Three Weddings and a Funeral. Right? Three arguments and a stray dog. Ah. That's what happened on Tara's date the other night. Because on the way to the restaurant, her and Ian argued over, are clementines clementines or just baby oranges? Are motorcycles fun or human pancakes waiting to happen? And finally, what do you do when you find a stray dog?

Do you stay with it out on the street or take it home and raise it as your own for years and years until the owner finally finds you. Sounds like a terrible version of that what if game. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Would you rather. I mean, if it's already a stray, if you leave it, isn't it?

Okay. We're not here to debate that. We're here to get another date. We've had enough arguments going on on their date. We're just trying to get them to dinner because they never even ended up making it to the restaurant that night. Yeah. Luckily, we have gift cards to any restaurant that you would like $25

or under. Okay, Taryn? So that choice is yours if we can get Ian on the line. Are you ready to do this? Yeah. I'm a little nervous, but... Okay. Well, that's good. That means you care. Don't worry.

You got your first three fights out of the way. So smooth sailing in this relationship after that. As far as Brooke relationship goes, only 300,000 more that you have to make it through. That's right, Jeffrey. That's how you know it's real. See, I agree with some men. There you go. That's a first on this show.

I agree with you first. Okay, here we go, Tara. I'm going'm gonna dial Ian let's see what he has to say hello hey that was kind of aggressive is this Ian yeah this is Ian who am I speaking with hey you are lucky enough to be speaking to one of the top-rated morning shows in North America. That's true. I thought you were going to say that. No, it's real. According to a poll that my mom did recently on Twitter. Also true.

We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Okay. Why are you guys calling me? Okay, good to get to know you two. You're a little feisty, but we've heard that actually before from one of our listeners who wanted us to get a hold of you. Her name's Tara. You went on a date with Tara the other night? Okay, so this is about Tara, yeah.

Yeah. This is a segment we do called a second date update. We're trying to help Tara and you reconnect and finally make it to a restaurant for dinner. Because we heard you never made it the other night. No, we didn't. We never made it out to dinner, unfortunately. So unfortunately means you kind of wanted to spend more time with Tara. How was the date to you?

She said you guys went on a long walk. I mean, it was nice enough. Just kind of like, just a little spiky. You know what I mean? Like everything just felt a little bit sharp around the edges. And I don't feel like we really clicked. Are you talking about when you guys got into an argument over Clementines? Because as far as I know, Clementines are smooth on the outside.

They don't have spikes. That's more of a pineapple deal. Okay. Okay. Okay. Mr. Funny guy. Yeah. We heard that you guys had a few tiffs over some fruits

and over motorcycles. And I gotta say, like, I mean, you're on a first date with someone. Why correct them on if they call a Clementine

an orange? Like, why not just leave it alone, man? Who cares about facts? Okay. It's just not the timing. Just go off feelings.

I didn't mean to make a big deal of it when she said orange. I was like, oh, I think they're Clementine. I don't think she read it that way when you said it. I know she didn't read it that way because she was like, no, it's an orange.

She is the one that started the fight. You were just stating the truth. You know, like when you have a fight on Facebook and it's like, OK, you're not going to change your mind even though you know you're wrong. Fine. I'm not going to try. Well, none of us are 60 years old and over, so we don't really fight on Facebook. Jose likes to. Jose, that's true. Jose does get a little feisty. That's what you should do with the old people on Facebook.

You give them old, sketchy link that anybody could have made up to prove your point. I mean, so you're saying that you just wish, you felt like she was just digging her heels in just to argue. Yeah. It felt like she couldn't be wrong and I couldn't be right. Okay. You know what I mean? Yeah. But that's most relationships between men and women.

So you just have to kind of get used to that. I mean, let's put all the arguments aside because I don't want to get into the minutiae of it but like overall just your connection with her tara felt like the two of you kind of arguing back and forth was a sign that you have passion yeah could you see it from that perspective maybe uh i'm gonna be honest with you guys nope no okay there wasn't at any point that you're like wow there's so much. I just want to lean in and kiss her. I felt like I had to have my guard up the whole time because she's going to call me out on something. Like, you know, again, you don't want to get into the minutiae, but like, is she right about motorcycles? Sure. You know, we could argue that all day and night just between us.

But let's have Tara weigh in on it because she's actually on the other line and wants to tell you that motorcycles are death on wheels. Tara, isn't that true? Yeah, I mean, I used to work at a spinal clinic. I mean, she may win that argument. I mean, yes, true facts, but can we not right now? Can we try and focus? Tara, why don't you say hello to your lover boy? Hey, Ian.

Look, I probably was a little harsh there. I didn't realize you were on the line. I feel like... Maybe next time we better learn before talking to strangers. What? Is that flirty? I think so. Wait, so are you telling me what to do now when I'm on the phone?

I don't know. I just like to argue. Okay. So that's an honest statement. Yeah. Yeah. So Tara, in your mind, arguing with somebody is a good thing. Definitely.

It's passionate. And like, you want a passionate person in your life. You don't want someone who doesn't have any aspirations. But wouldn't you want some sort of balance like instead of constantly arguing me in what do you think about tara's opinion on the disagreements that you had can we meet halfway there it is have half of an argument with her and then concede it's not about that for me like that's not what passion looks like for me oh Oh, what does passion look like to you? It means, like, being attracted to each other, being passionate.

You know, not fighting. Fighting isn't passion. I mean, it's a form. It's not a good form of it. No, I'm with him on that one. Okay, well, I have pictures on my phone of what passion looks like that I could text to both of you. Maybe one of you will come onto my site. That's another opinion of mine.

No pictures to listeners. To strangers, not to Ian. No. No one's going to argue about how passionate these photos are. I believe you. I don't need to see them. Well, what about Tara and Ian? Either of you want some photos? No!

I'm all for it. Maybe. Tara, I'm coming onto your Maybe. Maybe? Tara. Tara, get out of here. I'm coming on your side over here. She's like, it looks like a clementine. Okay, Anne, I'm just saying this. Like, let's just say we were married.

Oh. Like, at least we know on the first date that we have passion and, like, a little bit of arguing. It's not, like, years later. Uh-huh. Yeah. You're practicing the arguments for your future marriage. Yeah. Hypotheticals always really healthy.

Never lead to arguments. Ian? Yeah, I don't know what to say to that. Okay. Yeah, well, maybe the right thing is let's not talk in hypotheticals. Ian, would you like to marry Tara? No, second date. Because we will pay for that. We cannot afford a wedding, Jen.

I'm just talking about a date here. A $25 wedding with an Applebee's gift card on us. I do have my marriage license. I can marry you guys. Or if you're not into the wedding idea, just a date. A regular date. We could do that too. See, it doesn't sound so bad when you compare

it to a wedding. We could do that too. See, he doesn't sound so bad when you compare it to a wedding. This is an easy step. We should do this all the time. Just the fact that I was called out here onto the radio, it's like so confrontational to me. It's not what I'm looking for, guys. Tara, look, I'm sure you're great, but we're not right.

God, I thought we were pretty cool and chill during this whole thing. Yeah! It was not cool and chill for me! Just saying! Well, it sounds like Tara said no You're pretty cool and chill during this whole thing. Yeah. It was not cool and chill for me. Oh. Just saying. Okay. Sorry. Well, it sounds like Tara said no before you could get your no in.

So I think Tara wins this argument. Okay, Ian? Oh, wow. They agreed for once. You guys are on the same page. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You know, that had the opportunity to be the most wild twist we've ever heard on a second date. If that guy had just said, you know what? Yeah,

I could be married to her. Can you imagine? He would have said yes to your proposal. He wussed out. I mean, whatever happened to spontaneity in the dating world anymore? To taking a chance and letting fate decide. That's extreme. He wants a healthy relationship.

It just made me think of how passion, how much passion is in Brooke's marriage. He wants a healthy relationship. It just made me think of how passion, how much passion is in Brooke's marriage. There's a lot of passion in my marriage. There is. There's going to be a ton of passion when Brooke goes home tonight and tells her husband to do the laundry again. Because he didn't use enough softener the first go around. That's called

passion. I didn't say semi softener. I said full on softener. This doesn't smell right, Michael. That's hot. We are all jealous of Brooke and her relationship. Oh, man. Too bad it didn't work out for them. Yeah.

Oh, wait. Brooke and her husband. No, it totally worked out for us. No, too bad. I mean, the collar didn't work out for the collars. Brooke and her husband are A-OK. Yeah, they are. And if you want to be A-OK, you can always reach out to us, email the show.
