On a first date, if you're a woman, where's the safest place to meet a guy for the first time? Public? Yeah. Lots of people.

Public is too general. Inside of a police station. Anywhere. A bar. A restaurant. I've crossed off a few suggestions Jose gave earlier. Dark web? No. Although it does provide good anonymity on there. What about the dim web? Not a full dark.

That's not even a place. Children's toy store? Where the security guard can see you? Safe? Fun? I think they're all closed, aren't they? Yeah. Okay. Children's toy store where the security guard can see you. Safe. Visual with the security. Fun. See, Brooke. I think they're all closed, aren't they?

Maybe. I know Alexis doesn't feel comfortable giving guys her apartment, so she always gives them the address to Brooke's house. Oh. Yeah. Needs them there. Nice and safe. It's really big.

They'll get lost in that house. Yeah. Nobody wants to steal anything from there anyway. Is that how that gutter guy ended up at my house? Yeah. Wasn't actually a door-to-door salesman yeah one of our listeners davis said he met his date at a place that he never expected he would so let's learn more about it davis welcome to the show what's this girl's name first of all hey so her name is ashley ashley and where did ashley want to meet you so we were going to go out, and she asked me to give her a ride, which I thought was really interesting.

That doesn't usually happen. First step to not safest things to do on a date. Yeah, that's true. I'm guessing, had you met in person before, or is this meet up off the apps? No, this is off an app. Yeah, so that's kind of sketch. Getting in a car, she can lock the doors. Just never do that?

Yeah. I mean, honestly. a nap. Yeah, so that's kind of sketch. Getting in a car, he can lock the doors. Shouldn't you just never do that? Ever. I mean, honestly. Davis, I trust you immediately, so you can come to the radio station whenever you want. How long were you guys talking before the date happened? So, we only talked once, and it was on the phone, but it was for like three hours. So, I mean, you obviously were

vibing and you were clicking. Talking for three hours, you gotta have a good connection with somebody. But was there a reason why she wanted you to pick her up? You know, she didn't mention. She just asked if I could pick her up, and I thought, okay, that's fine. So she gave you an address, and this turned out to be the actual place that she really lived? Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?

I'm just saying. Gotcha! I don't know. You could give a different address. That's so weird. That's what I would do. But I don't know. I mean, what was it like when you showed up at her house?

If it was her house. Or apartment, and you got her. Yeah, I mean, it was great. So it was a house. Oh, good. Be nice. She has a roommate, but her roommate was out for the night. So I said, hey, yeah, why's why don't we, you know, head out?

We'll go. And she said, well, first, do you want a drink? Like, I can give you a tour. And I was like, oh, OK. Oh, wow. She's inviting you inside immediately. And a drink. That's great.

And they're hanging. Yeah. How can I say no? So after the tour, we just sat on the porch and just started talking. And that turned into like longer and longer and eventually we didn't even end up going out it's just like it's just like your phone call from the first time you met like you just get lost in conversation together that's such a great sign what'd you guys like connect over we connected over a lot of stuff we have

like a very similar sense of humor we we like a lot of similar things, like similar movies and shows and things like that. What's the issue then? That's so cute. Did anything weird happen? Well, okay, not, I don't know if it was weird. Like, okay, so we were on the front porch. We had a few drinks throughout the time that we were there yeah so i kept going in and out to get the drinks and uh come back out with them and she has a dog named nugget really cute yeah yeah but she kept warning me you know hey like just make sure you're mindful of shutting the door because you know he'll run away if he gets out. Uh-oh. Yeah. So after a few drinks, kind of forgot that she had a dog for a little bit.

So I did leave the door cracked while I was handing her drink, and Nugget almost got out. He was, like, halfway out the door. Oh. And I had to sort of, yeah, I had to dive to grab him. Oh, my God, but you got him. I did. I got him, yeah.

Okay. But then after that, it was getting dark. I said, why don't we put on the light? Do you have a light out here? And she said, well, I would, but it's sort of broken and too high for me to change. And I said, oh, well, that's not that high. I can reach that. So I reached up and I changed the light and she said, oh, you know, there's really nice for you to do. I appreciate that. And I said, oh yeah, I'm a little handy, a little sometimes. You're a little handy by changing a light bulb?

That's handy. If you change a light bulb, that's something that's useful that you do around the house. That is not handy, Jeff. Anybody can change a light bulb. It's using your hands. Handy means that you have, like, skill and you know how to. You have to twist it one way and then twist it back the other. Yeah, and then sometimes it's a dud.

You've got to do it twice. I understand. It's handy where you grew up. Davis, she doesn't consider you handy, man. Not for that. You know what? I did fix her burner, too. Oh.

What burner? Wait a minute. That is handy. Her burner phone? Yeah, I threw it. I hope not. No, the burner on her kitchen stove. Wow.

Okay, that's handy. Yeah, yeah. More impressive. Thank you. You screwed in a gas pipe this time, which is way more different than screwing in a light bulb. It's getting less romantic. Yeah, it does sound like you help her out with some stuff. You talk for a few hours.

You may just be a really best friend now. Or maybe she's not getting back to you because there's CO2 poisoning in her house. Yeah, you didn't get out of the pipe. You didn't do it right. I hope not. Was there any romance, like any kissing action? We did kiss a little bit at the end of the night before I left. Cute.

So you know she's romantically into you. Well, if she's romantically into me, why isn't she answering my text now? She's leaving on read. She should be excited to text you. If anything, she should be like, oh my God, okay, wait 30 minutes before you text him back. Totally. It just sounds so good, all of it. It sounds great. Yeah, I thought it was.

Something's wrong with her, bro. No way it's you. We'll find out what her problem is. Too handy even? We don't know. Or handy. Maybe it's handsy. Maybe that was the problem. Well, Brooke would consider that a perk. Everybody has a different opinion, Jeff. Let's figure this out. We're going to call Ashley for you,

get you a second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update right after this hold on second date update most other radio shows try to lift up their listeners praise them for doing nice things and good deeds on a first date yeah that's not really our style we like to downplay your positive traits and good deeds and will even insult your handy skills because we're trying to help you to realize your own flaws. Why are you so stuck on this? Changing a light bulb is not handy, Jeff. Yes, double down.

Insult his manhood. I'm not insulting a manhood. Real love isn't about caring. I don't understand why you're so insulted by that. Real love isn't about support. It's about flaw finding. And our listener, Davis, appreciates that. Right, Davis?

I guess so. Yes. Now, Brooke wrote down 15 other shortcomings that she noticed during the day. It wasn't a shortcoming. He was super nice and helped her out. Oof, too nice. She made one call. That can be a turnoff.

Oh, my God. You are so impossible some days. Davis, she's calling you impossible now. No, I'm talking to you, Jeffrey. Oh, hard to tell sometimes. You're exhausting. Yeah. Well, it's possible that he did exhaust her because Davis was with her at her house for

many, many hours drinking out on her front porch. Yeah. It's so cute, though. Like, I can't believe she's not calling you back. Same. Same. Same. I'm hoping that the reason that she's not calling you back is that her dog just got loose and she's been out looking for it. If anything, she probably needs your help to track him down.

Not a good alternative. Can you screw with events? That's your positivity, Jeff? We're here to help her in her time of need. That's a good thing. Let's dial her and see where she's at. And if she needs a little assistance, here we go.

Hopefully she picks up. Hello. Hey, is this Ashley? Yes, it is. Who's this? Hey,

we're a radio show. We just wanted to know, is nugget there? Is nugget safe? it is. Who's this? Hey, Ashley. We're a radio show. We just wanted to know, is Nugget there? Can you put Nugget up to the phone? Is Nugget safe? What? Your dog? Yeah, your dog Nugget. That has the cutest name ever. Good job on naming your dog.

Thanks. I don't know how you know my dog's name, but... We heard it from a listener to our show that you met up with for a date recently. his name's davis uh okay i don't really i don't really remember you don't remember davis i yeah i don't know i just i kind of hang out with a lot of people so oh. Oh, you guys talked for hours.

He came to your house. Yeah. I think you just hung out with him like a week ago. A week ago. Yeah. According to him, you guys met on a dating app. You asked him to come pick you up for a date.

And then he ended up just staying there, drinking with you on your front porch. Which, you know, we were actually shocked that you were so trusting of him so quickly. I mean, because it's just a guy you met on the internet. Yeah. Does he have dark hair?

I think he was wearing a gray shirt. Are you joking? We don't know that. A week is not that long. We've never seen him, but that does sound like him. Yeah, good old gray shirt-y. He sounded very gray shirt and dark hair over the phone. How many dates?

I mean, it's impressive. You're fitting not many in a week. How could you not remember someone that you spent hours with? Well, to be honest, I mean, that's kind of like just how I use the dating apps. I've been doing this for a while. Doing what? Wait, what? You invite people over and talk to them and then let them leave?

That's called a date, actually. You're not tricking anyone. But it feels like you didn't even know his name while he was at your house. Yeah. I've been using dating apps for over a year now. And when I started, I was looking for a relationship. But I don't really know if that's where I'm at anymore.

What do you mean? Like you, you just, you don't want to see anybody seriously or like why go out on the date to begin with? If that. I just, I saw like too many people just want to mess around, you know? Okay. After a while, it just really kind of i don't know mess with my head so i just decided screw it i'm just gonna be in my free handyman phase your what free What do you mean? Well, so I'll set up a meeting with a guy,

and they will end up fixing stuff for me. It's a fake meeting. You don't like him. How do you even know they're handy when you meet them on the app? Oh, that's a good point, because if some girl asks me to do some stuff, I don't know, let me call somebody. I mean, come on. All guys like to think they're handy,

whether they really are or not. I mean, you're spending so much time on them. Jeffrey did think that he was handy with the light bulb, so. I'll screw in any light bulb in this studio. Watch me. Dude, that's so messed up. You're just using these people. But you spend hours with them and kiss them all for.

Oh, yeah, they kiss. That was a kiss. Yeah, wait a minute. That sucks. God, guys, chill out. chill out i mean look i'll have him back over if something else goes wrong in the house but what about romantic like he he thought that he was going over there to have like a genuine connection with you and honestly if you are pretty you could probably just put on the apps just looking for a handyman and guys would still volunteer to do that or do you have a landlord exactly yeah that's true too yeah the landlord takes forever to solve

things and look if i put just looking for a handyman on an app people are gonna show up thinking that it's like an x-rated request oh that's kind of true. Just looking for a pizza guy. Show up in uniform. Oh, I would show up so ready. Dude, that's so messed up. He's going to be hurt. Is he going to be hurt? We don't know. The only way to find out is if we actually just talk to him because he just happens to

be on the other line right now waiting to jump in on this conversation. Oh, my God. He heard everything. Is he there? Listen, before he jumps in, I'm still trying to figure out which guy he is because I had to come over in the same weekend. How many broken things do you have in your home? Did he re-caulk the bathtub? We didn't hear anything about any re-caulk.

He fixed your stove. Unless we missed that part of the story. Davis, are you there? You would have remembered that word. Yeah, hey, I'm here. What? Ashley, I think you're confused. I'm trying to date for love,

and I'm looking for someone who wants the same. Oh, that was such a sweet response. Maybe you're confused. Well, I really love that you fixed my stove. No. Oh, wow. Yikes. He's so bad.

Actually, you had a connection with him. Maybe you're just jaded from being hurt. Yeah. You know? I mean, that's true. And I'm sorry you feel bad. I mean, you were nice to talk to. I mean, I'm happy to hang out again with you at my

place. I can't even remember him at my place. Well, if he fixes something else for you. Well, only if he wants to. That's good. She's being honest. What an offer. How could anyone pass that up? I mean, the good news is

I've already got a guy who's really good with plumbing, so I'll never ask you to do any plumbing. Oh, there's a different guy? You have that many plumbing issues? Well, it's hard to find a good plumber. Just in general. I just feel so taken advantage of right now. I really thought we had a real connection,

and it looks like you have this kind of connection with a lot of people. Oh, David, I'm really sorry you feel that way. It's Davis with an S. Davis. Oh, my God. David? I can't believe you kissed him still. Was that because you were drinking? Or is that the tip?

You know, he did a nice thing for me. What's wrong with a little harmless kiss thing? Everything when he thinks there's more besides it. He's like, bye, I love you. She's like, yeah, bye, Ryan, whatever your name was. That's awful. Again, like, I'm sorry if he was confused about things,

but I just know where I am at in my life. I'm in this handyman phase. Okay, but you didn't tell him that. Yeah. Well, now he knows that if he'd like to come over again, I'd be open to it. There is no way Davis still wants to hang out with her. Come on, buy some wood and go build her a deck, bro. If you love her, go get her.

Never underestimate the shallowness of a guy. You never know what he's going to say if it means scoring another date with a cute girl. That's true. Davis, remember how pretty Ashley was? And I think I hear a noise in my ceiling fan. Another opportunity to demonstrate your manly handliness for her. She just pulls the cord three times. She just pays you in kisses.

What do you think, Davis? My handiness is deserved for someone who loves me. Oh, that's right, Davis. Way to have a standard. That should be a bumper sticker. Yeah. Well, thank you for being on the show with us,

David. And, uh, good luck. Oh my God, you're so good. Good luck with all your handy dating life stuff in the future. Thank you.

And Ashley, I know a couple of guys on our text board at 78592 say they will be available at a moment's notice to come and fix your ceiling fan or whatever you got going on. Do you have no dignity left? No. She kisses at the end of the day. Yeah. You know the last time I kissed somebody?

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I wasn't kidding. We really were getting texts at 78592 from many gentlemen who would not mind helping Ashley with her household problems. Dude. We're men. We 7592 from many gentlemen who would not mind helping Ashley with her household problems. Dude. We're men. We want to feel useful. And we like pretty women.

Have some respect. Get paid for it at least. You know, go kiss his payment. That's the thing. You have to think about, like, I know we were saying earlier that having a stranger who you just met on the Internet come over to your house for a date is kind of sketchy. But how is that any different than finding a random handyman on the Internet and hiring him to come out to your house for a date is kind of sketchy. But how is that any different than finding a random handyman on the internet and hiring him to come out to your house? Yeah, Jeff, I don't have those guys

come to my house when I'm home alone. Literally make sure that someone else is there. That's what women do. And make sure you know their name, maybe. Just saying, either way, it's a random dude that you're inviting over to your house. But at least Ashley's plan was economical because she got free work done.

I don't know. She can't change her own light bulb. I'm just like, I'm disappointed in her as a human. She's not alone. The switch was just off? Yeah. Do you know how many people I've paid to come out and change my light bulbs for me? And I pay them.

She's just giving all the women of the world a great life hack. You just bought a house and you're paying people to change your light bulb? Pay me next time. I don't know. I don't know if you guys are handymen, certified. Again, it doesn't take a handyman. I need to see the checkmark next to your name if I'm going to believe you're going to fix my stuff. But if you ever want help with your dating life, we're not certified at all for that.

No, but we will help. We'll step in and give it our best try. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
