Recently, we got an email from a listener who says when it comes to dating, she used to be a triple six girl. What does that mean? Meaning the only guys that she was going after had to be six feet tall okay six pack abs and six figure income wait

triple six they don't exist i don't believe it they do they're all taken bro for some people they exist okay but apparently she's throwing that out the window i don't know why is she gonna go for the five five fives is that what we're at now? It's a little more realistic. She's changed her ways. So let's welcome to the show Brandy with an I. Hello, Brandy. Hi. Brandy, I don't want to brag, but I make at least four figures, girl.

What? That's not. At least. I don't count. Brandy likes it. So she likes it. You're in. I made her laugh, but she's like, funny guys.

It sounds like your expectations have really dropped if you're laughing. Yeah. Brandi, maybe explain what made you change your strategy, because this could have an effect on Alexis and her future here. True, true. Yeah, I started to realize that if you're going after superficial things in a guy, they're only going to be superficial back. Look at that.

But isn't that the best thing? Can you convince me more? Some superficial things are really great. So you're saying we know what to expect. I like that. It's consistent. Okay, you decided that wasn't for you. You're looking for something more long-term

is what it sounds like. Sorry, a gag for a second. Go ahead. Go ahead. Well, I want some substance, you know. Okay. Someone who will love me and care for me. And can have a good conversation?

Yeah. Oh, God. Now she's really looking for a unicorn, isn't she? Okay. That's what everybody wants, I guess. You think that's so boring? Jeffrey's like, that's so dull. It sounds dull, but it really is hard.

Hopefully she found it. That's why you're on the phone with us. Great. You lowered your standards. Did you end up meeting a guy? I did meet a guy online. Okay. Who's he?

Who? He's 5'10". Okay. Also, he barely misses the... I like how you try not to be superficial, but you start with that instead of his name. What is his name? His name is Evan. Let me guess, he makes $99,000

a year. Could you tell if he had a six-pack online? Not sure. I don't think so. If there's not a shirtless pick, he doesn't. I was actually thinking if there's not a shirtless pick, they might actually have some substance, Alexis.

Yeah. She's right. No one hides their abs. All right. We know he's 5'10". We're in a question mark about the abs. What does Evan do for a living? Do you know?

He's a claims adjuster for a car insurance place. Wow. I know. I know. It just gets more exciting for Jeffrey is what it does. But he has job security. It's like a stable job. I'm sure he for Jeffrey is what it does. But it's his job security. It's like a stable job. I'm sure he's great at adjusting those claims.

That's not a compliment. I don't know what they do. I mean, so far, what did attract you to him online then? Because, like, none of these things are what you're looking for. Well, you know, I want someone that I feel safe with, that feels stable and secure. And my girlfriends are like, you know, this seems like a stable, secure guy. Like someone I could feel at home with. All right.

That seems secure. All right. So what did you and Mr. Stability do for your hot date? Well, we met for a happy hour. Okay. Okay, that's fun. Lukewarm date. Yeah.

Yeah, all right. Well, we're heating up slowly. Yeah, yeah, that's good. How did that go? It was good. We had a couple of drinks and had a nice banter and he was asking me some questions

and then he asked me a question that kind of stumped me. Oh. Oh. Look at that. What's that? Oh, he said, tell me something quirky about you.

Quirky. Oh. All right. That's a hard thing to answer. Right? Because you don't want to come across too quirky and come off like a weirdo. Not for me. I'm like, I suck my thumb.

That's what I tell people. I mean, the first thing I thought of is I have a weird bone on my chin on one side, but not the other. Do you know what I mean? Chin bone is not... Brooke, that doesn't... That's not quirky. You said quirky, not turn-offs, Brooke.

That's not a deformation of my body. It's a little different. Kind of weird. How did you answer that, Brandy? Did you have an answer for him? Yeah, eventually. I was like, how do I answer this? But then I was like, oh, I guess, well, I wiggle my toes right before I go to sleep.

I think I do, too. I just realized that. Oh, my God. My husband does a weird thing where he puts his heel in between his big toe and his next toe. It's very strange. Oh, he, like, locks feet? Yeah. Please let that be the last time we get an insight into Brooke and her husband's bedroom.

It's very strange. It's like the foot is on top of the other foot. No, we don't want any more details about the positioning of your body. You are quirky, Brooke. I am sorry, Brandy. Okay, you wiggle your toes right before you sleep. That was the answer? Yeah, and I have really small toes.

That's quirky. Yeah. See? Body door deformations can be quirky. Did he respond positively to that, to your toe stuff? He didn't really say much. Okay. Well, I mean, he's asking a question that maybe he didn't actually want the answer to, you know?

Tiny toes isn't very sexy either. Sorry. Nothing quirky sexy. I guess you're right. None of this is. Did it change the, like, vibe of the date? It was hard to tell. I mean, I also told him that I collect some teddy bears, but I don't think that's a turnoff.

Unless you have, like, 50,000. Well, like, how many? Well, they're collectibles, you know. Okay, you don't sleep with them all. No, no, no. Did he have a quirk? Is that even important to us? You know, I didn't even think to ask him.

We had a nice hug at the end. I mean, it seemed good. Have you not heard from him at all? No, I thought it was a good date. I'm not doing my triple six, but I haven't heard from him. Is it shocking that the guy who's supposed to be stable is the one ghosting you and the triple sixes were the ones you had to get rid of? Yeah, maybe a little bit.

Yeah. Okay. We'll just keep moving down the line if we need to. Yeah, we'll go three, three, two, two, one, one. We'll eventually get you another date here, Brandi. But first, let's call Evan Furry. We'll try and hook you up one more time when we do your second date update right after this. Thank you.

All right. Second date update. If you're just joining us, one of our listeners came on and said that she used to live by the triple six rule for years, dating only men who were six feet tall, six pack abs, six figure incomes. Yeah. And she's not doing that anymore. No. And Brooke made the comment, like, oh, so you're into the triple fives now then. And it got me thinking, what is a triple five?

Five feet tall. Yeah, five-figure salary. Five felonies. Oh, yeah, we can put that in there. Five warts on his face. They could be anywhere, Jeff. Okay, yeah, let's not limit it to just the face. Don't be too crazy.

I support that. Okay. You should be a five. The main idea is if you go away from chasing superficial things, then you won't attract superficial guys. Yeah. That's what she hoped anyway. Yes.

Yeah. And that's what brought Brandy to us because she met a nice, stable guy named Evan, went on a date with him, and now he's not calling her back. Ah, even the stable ones. Darn it. Damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. That's right, Jeffrey. But we're about to call Evan here. How

you feeling, Brandy? I'm hopeful. You are? Good. Okay, that's good because you sounded a little jaded when we went from the triple six down to you know, Evan. Wow. You you sounded a little jaded when we went from the triple six down to, you know, Evan. Wow, did you call her jaded? I don't know, a little bit. Like, it wasn't working out for her.

That's okay. Don't take that from a woman with a chimp deformity. Just one side. It's so weird. You should feel it. I don't need to touch your chimp. Are you sure? No, I'm good.

It's kind of fascinating. Okay, I'm sorry I said it. Let's just call Evan for you and try and get you a second date update. Here we go. Thank you. I'm going to said it. Let's just call Evan for you and try and get you a second date update. Here we go. Thank you. I'm dialing his number right now. Hello? Hey, we're looking for Evan.

Yeah, this is him. Hey, Evan. All right. Congratulations. You are on the radio right now. Oh, I feel like we should applaud. Yeah.. Hey, Evan. All right. Congratulations. You are on the radio right now. Oh, I feel like we should applaud. Yeah. Good job, Evan.

We don't normally applaud for the people that we call. He said congratulations. I wanted to make him feel like that was real. Oh, that's why. You're on Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, my man. You picked up a phone call. That deserves congratulations. I'm on the radio?

Yeah. Yeah. We're doing something called a second date update, and we're trying to help out one of our listeners named Brandy, who's a girl that you went on a date with recently. Yeah, man. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Okay. Sorry.

You remember Brandy? I do, I do. That's good. Yeah. Good start. Yeah, sounds positive. We heard a lot of good things about you from Brandy, about your date and everything. And she's just a little bit confused now that there hasn't been a second one.

Oh. Sorry. This is for the radio, though. Yeah, it is for the radio. And I'm sorry that this is kind of an awkward question and way to do this. She couldn't get a hold of you though you know and she like jeff said liked you a lot we're just trying to help her out right yeah um she was she was nice she was cool were you planning on nice and cool is like a

negative review were you planning on seeing her again um you know i'd like um okay that's okay if the answer is no we just want to know why that's fair it's your dating life you could do what you want with it but we're just wondering for brandy's sake was there anything that didn't go quite that well that night like is there a reason yeah uh man i mean to be honest not really i was she was pretty cool i mean like the day was fine then why aren't you dating her again you dummy come on name calling i'm sorry he went back real quick on that i'm trying to help he really likes our listeners i do it's just like you know that doesn't make sense like if, if everything's so good. Right. Well, it's cool, right? It's one happy hour.

How much can you really know a person after just one date? You need to give it another shot, don't you think? What's holding you back? So I'm pretty introverted myself, and I had a nice time hanging out with her. And I just, I think for me, I need to find someone who I think is a little bit more extroverted who's going to, like, bring me out of my shell and stuff. That's interesting. I feel like she would a little bit.

I mean, she's a person that contacted a radio station about her love life. That should say a lot about how extroverted she is. Well, she's having other people do the call for her. She's just more passive aggressive. I mean, I guess I see what she's saying. So you don't think that she's extroverted enough? Can you elaborate more on that? Yeah, I mean, like, I'm going to be honest.

The name Brandy, I thought, especially, like, the way it was spelled, like all the Brandys I've known kind of like when I was in college, they're kind of wild. And I thought that she was going to be kind of a little bit more crazy. Brandy with an I. Okay. Respecting a wild girl. That's not the same as extroverted.

Those are – you were thinking she was a party girl? Is that what you were thinking? No, not really. But, like, I asked her this one question, and I remember being like, what's your biggest quirk? Like, I didn't want to be like, are you crazy? Wait, did you want crazy or did you not want crazy? I want just like more fun.

And I have a lot of trouble putting myself out there and kind of like going out or meeting new people or anything. And so I mean, I want to be with someone who's going to do that for me. Wait, how did her answer have anything to do with that? What's her answer to be? I talk to be with someone who's going to do that for me. How did her answer have anything to do with that? What's her answer to be? I talk to everybody. What's quirky? What was your head at? Well, I mean, she said her biggest quirk was wiggling her toes or something before she went to bed.

That's cool. What doesn't scream wild girl about that? We love that. That's cool. I bet she sometimes moves her whole ankle. Wow. Wow. You got your knees cracking out here?

Yeah. The whole body starts going. Wait, come on. It's just one answer. No, I mean, she also said that she collected stuffed animals. Okay. Oh, yeah. Some of you crazy girls do that.

She has stuffies, Alexis. That's all I can answer my grandma would have given me. Oh, that's kind of harsh. Your grandma sounds like a good time to me. Yeah. Yeah, that's not something you're supposed to say. Yeah, what? I don't know what to say.

Okay. She's not what you expected. That's kind of the short answer. It feels like you should have asked her, like, what's the wildest thing you've ever done? That's a good story. Well, I already know the answer to the wildest thing that she's ever done. What's that, Jeff? And that's sit on the other end of this conversation listening to this call waiting to jump in and talk to you.

Wild. No. Wow. Listening with both ears. That's how this works, dude. Are you serious? She's here. I'm serious.

Brandi, you there? Oh, I'm here. Yeah. Oh, my God. Go on go on wild girl talk to him i'm wow um that's really interesting um i get given the context my answer sounds really boring and strange but had you asked me the question normally, you would know a lot more about me. Quirky is like, it's a weird way to put it. Like I'm a lot of fun. I don't know, that whole sentence took so long. We're kidding, we're kidding, Randy.

We're just kind of kidding. All right, I mean like, are you a lot of fun? Like prove it, I guess I kind of, you know, I mean, what is the wildest thing you've done? Oh, OK. I'm here for this. I don't know if you're ready for it, insurance adjuster. Oh, fire with fire.

Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm waiting. I want to know. We're all waiting still. Well, let's just say I may have recently done a contest in the Caribbean, and I may have lost my shirt, and I may have funneled a beer. Oh, she day drinks and loses her clothes. I mean, to me, it just sounded like she went to college.

That's pretty fun. She got a beer and left an article of clothing behind? Does that feel better to you, Evan? Yeah. Does that feel crazy? I mean, I think it feels more on the way. The date ended with, like, a side hug, and I was like, who gives side hugs? Oh, you wanted, okay.

You obviously did because you hugged him. Are you just, like, sick of safety because you're an insurance adjuster and you need something else? You're like that chaos guy in that one commercial. Mayhem, that's it. Just like she's looking for someone more stable. I know. You guys are like opposites attract here in a weird way. And maybe just a little bit more communication, a couple more dates will help bridge that gap.

I was thinking a couple of shots of tequila will bridge it. I don't know if that's strong enough. I mean, do you ever clear? But we would pay to set you up one more time. You're willing to see each other. What do you think, Evan? Yeah, I mean, if it's on your guy's bill, I'm sure. I cannot write this off.

Aren't you a crazy financially stable person? That's kind of what she was going for, though. But what do you think, Brandi? Are you still into this? Yeah. You know, just use your words, man. Like, make a move. Oh.

How does that sound like a yes? Sounds like a challenge. And that's what Evan sounds like he wants. Okay. It's going to be either this or you go back to the 666 guys. It sounds like devil worship. Yeah, you just joined us. That was not a religious thing.

You want it crazy? I'll show you crazy. Get in the circle. Wait a second. She was a Satanist? No. You know what? That's a great conversation to have on your second date.

Wait, would that turn you on? Because she can be. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Man, her story about the Caribbean really turned things around in that call. Yeah. She mentions her shirt comes off and she starts making bad decisions.

Joke's on her, though, because I'm sending them to a Caribbean restaurant with a gift card. Yeah. So it's going to happen all over again. I just think it's like she was going for the superficial dudes, and that's what she thought they wanted,

and then she finds the one stable guy, and it turns out that's also what you wanted. We all want the opposite. Okay, so none of you guys want just this normal, boring... Everybody does want that normal, boring, stable person, but they have to get through their wild phase first. Yeah. Boring with experience.

So it looks like this, I don't know, will it work out for them or will it not? I'm hopeful. She's through that phase, Jeff. Yeah. Yeah. She's boring with experience. Maybe she'll push him through that phase too and they'll end up on the other end together. That's our hope.
