Yeah, for sure. Is it his bulging calves? No, it's not a sense of humor, by the way. Cavs and abs. Is it his bulging bank account? Oh, hello. I thought we were going to go somewhere else and I was going to be more excited. Could be there, too.

We might learn the answer here in just a second. So, guys, make sure you're paying attention because one of our listeners,elia says she went out with the perfect guy for her and she needs our help today amelia welcome to the show hi guys how are you oh man you're setting yourself up for a lot of pressure calling him the perfect guy for you he's not calling you back yeah well he really is the perfect guy for me you're not not backing down. I'm curious. What's Mr. Perfect's name? His name's Rob. Rob?

Yeah. Rob. Rob. R-A-W-B. Rob. Rob. Like he robbed her heart. That's hot.

Okay. He did. So how'd you meet Rob? So we match on Tinder, actually. Okay. That's pretty common. So first off, he's the typical tall, dark, handsome businessman. But he has the look of a sexy firefighter. Oh, okay.

Brawn and brains. Yep, that's what I'm saying. He even has a tattoo of a house cat. And let me tell you, I'm a cat lady. I love cats. Okay. I ever thought you were going to say I love tats, but no, you love cats. Yeah, but tats of cats. I actually have that calendar. So I can see what you're saying. So what did you guys end up doing for a date? So he asked me if I wanted to, you know, low-key go out and just get some drinks and meet each other. And I said, absolutely.

At this point, were you, like, nervous or were you thinking this guy's too good to be true and he's probably going to be, like, some sort of catfish? I've got nothing to lose, so I was hoping for the best. Okay. Couldn't get any worse in my dating life, so might as well. I'm just happy to have plans made. I don't care if they follow through. So what did he end up being like?

Was he everything that you had hoped he would be? He really was. He was really good at holding conversation. He was a good listener. He listened. He asked me questions about me. What? Why?

Why? I'm just kidding i'm kidding what's the use of learning about other people i know it's a rare thing sadly the last guy i was on a date with i didn't get to talk for like over a half hour because all he did was talk about himself he wouldn't shut up and the people who usually talk that much about themselves are actually really boring. Yeah. They're never interesting people that talk that much. No, you're absolutely right about that. But, you know, for me, having a good-looking, good listener, it's hard to find.

Yeah. They're just not out there. Yeah, and a lot of times when guys are good-looking and they are rich and they do have everything, they are super into themselves and they don't care about you. They just like hey by the way i am rich were you getting more and more nervous as the date went on and you're realizing this guy is like checking every single box no i was getting more and more excited i was like i felt like i was listening to the lottery numbers and each one that came up i had so That's so cute. That's so cute.

You had a lottery with him. It's great that you had such a good vibe with him, but was there anything that was awkward or weird about the date, like at all? Yes. Okay. And that's why I'm calling you guys is because towards the end of the night, we decided to have one more drink, but we weren't even done with our drink. And he looks at me and he says hey i'm sorry i have to wrap it

up here i have another commitment okay business like all right i mean that's okay right yeah but it's like one drink like you can't wait 10 more minutes to just finish like that's what i was thinking it was like it seemed to be going so well and it was like almost like i scared him so we went to leave our table and i assumed he was going to come with me. Like walk you to your car or something, you mean? Yeah, or just walk away from the table with me since we were done eating. Right, because the date's over.

He got up, he gave me a hug, he told me it was great to meet me, and then he sat back down at the table and pulled out his phone. What? Why? It's like he's waiting for somebody else. So you left and he stayed?

Yeah. And, like, I'm wondering, like, if he's some kind of player that had a bunch of dates lined up and he was just going to take us all to the same restaurant at the same table. Well, I guess if you're rich, like it sounds like he is,

that would be easier to do. Just like, ah, line him up. Come on, we'll pay for you. We'll pay for you. It doesn't have to do with rich. It has to do with efficiency. Yeah. But that makes you feel bad, right?

Because you're thinking, wait, was he interested in me? Or is he just thinking about whoever he's going out with right after? Why would he not, like, fake leave? Right. Or even go to the bathroom. Like, oh, you go out. I got to run to the restroom. Maybe it was something that isn't sketchy,

so he didn't feel the need to act weird about it. Maybe he's waiting for his mom or something, or a sister. There could be a reasonable explanation, but maybe Mr. Perfect isn't so perfect after all. No, Jeff. Well, that's what I'm worried about. Okay. I would always go. Someone not being what they seem?

No. Let's call Mr. Perfect and find out for ourselves. Let's play a song. We'll come back, and we'll try and get your second date update right after this, all right? Thank you, guys. Hold on, Amelia. Second date update. Successful businessman.

Oh, great listener. Perfect butt. Wow. That's how one of our listeners described the guy. At least, I mean, that's what I heard when she was telling us about going out for drinks the other night. I assume, too. He was the whole package of things that's going to be. She said hunky fireman type, right?

That does not require a nice bus. But it usually cuts. It fits the description. But basically everything was good until the very end of the night when he told her that he had another commitment and had to get going. Hugged her goodbye, then sat back down at the table that they were at and just started looking at his phone. That just feels awkward to, like, imagine. Of like, okay, well, I have a good one, kind of shoot her away.

And who is he as a human that can sit through that awkwardness? Someone with a perfect butt can sit through anything, Brooke. But we're trying to figure out the reason why he's not calling Amelia back. Amelia, you feel ready? Yeah. Okay, and did you text or call, or how did you try to get a hold of him? He's not calling Amelia back. Amelia, you feel ready? Yeah. Okay. And did you text or call or how did you try to get a hold of him? He actually texted me after the date.

What? And he asked me when I'm available. What? That never happened. It sounds like he is getting back to you. Yeah. Then why are you needing our help to get in touch with him? Well, because I told him that I was free on Saturday and maybe we could do dancing or a show or, you know, something along

those lines. And he never replied to that. Oh. That's weird. So he ghosted me after asking me on a second date. Wow. Now that's really weird. Yeah. He put the feeler out. Well, I know you were worried that he might be a player, so let's call him and see

what the deal is. I'm going to dial his number right now. Thank you, guys. I need your help. Okay. We're going to try our best here. Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Rob? Yeah, this is Rob. Hey, man. My name's Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. How are you doing today, man? Yeah, I'm good. Hey, man, my name's Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. How you doing today, man?

Yeah, I'm good. What is this about? Well, this is about a segment that we do on our show from time to time. We do this thing where if two people hang out and if they vibe, but afterwards their communication breaks down, we can call one of them to help figure out what's really going on.

Okay, I see. Okay. So the other night you kicked it with a woman named Amelia. You remember her? I do, yes. Tell her I'm very interested. Okay. Wait, wait then.

Why can't you tell her that? Yeah, she said she texted you about Saturday night and you never replied to her. No, I'm sorry. I've been super busy with work lately. You have to understand, you know, we're we're kind of on a hiring spree right now. And it's just really hard to keep people. So I got a lot of people, you know, people coming in and out of my life and phone numbers and things. It's been difficult to keep track. Well, I could see how that would be confusing. But I mean, Amelia did want to see you again.

She was actually expecting to hear from you. And now she's feeling like you're not interested. But that's not true. Well, yes, of course. I mean, I'm interested. I mean, absolutely. So I feel like she's getting a lot of mixed vibes from you, Rob. And I don't know if you're doing it on purpose or not.

But she also told us about like her leaving the restaurant and you staying at the table after you said that you had something else going on right right that's right I'm having a hard time reading you like you like Amelia then yeah I think she'd be

fine she'd be fine I've never heard a guy say that I'm kind of confused right now about what you're implying i don't understand what you're asking me here we want to know normal dating stuff was she pretty did you guys vibe was the food was a conversation i just want to know why you stayed at the table when she left that too yeah like it is driving me nuts it's such a weird weird. Wait a second. Wait a second.

This sounds confusing. So I own the restaurant that we met in. I met with Amelia to see if she wanted to work in my restaurant. That wasn't a date. What? No way. She didn't go to apply. No, she said that you guys met on Tinder.

Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Of course, yes. I mean, I have on my Tinder bio that I own restaurants and I'm looking to hire a wage job. Oh, no. Okay, first off, creative.

Second, nobody reads anyone's Tinder bio, bro. You just swipe right or left within a second. Oh, yikes. You thought you were interviewing Amelia for a restaurant job? Absolutely. I told her, come on in and we'll talk. Oh, no. It makes so much sense now.

That's why she said that he was such a good listener. He was asking me all these introspective questions. Never ask, Undyne. You don't want to. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God, Rob. She is going to be so embarrassed. I mean, she thought the world of you.

She was like, this guy is such a unicorn. He's so amazing. He's listening. Brooke, stop. You're embarrassing her more. Oh, my God. Right? I'm very flattered.

But here's the thing. It's very difficult to find good restaurant workers these days. And I'm specifically targeting, I want good-looking, gregarious people, you know, people who can just be open and fun and like really grab customers and just really have. That's great, Rob. But are you single? Like, is there even a chance? Well, I mean, I am single, but I'm currently seeing a couple of people. A couple? Are they also interviewing for the love decision but i i honestly did not bring amelia into my restaurant for a dating situation oh no she liked you you know who's going to be really disappointed to hear that rob her face is so red right now i mean i can't see her face but

i am assuming that it is that color because i need to tell you, she's actually on the other line listening. She wants to talk to you. What? She did. Amelia? I'm so embarrassed. I feel so dumb right now. It's okay. I can understand the confusion.

I get it. But it says right there on my profile why I'm on Tinder. It's another way to try to meet people who might be interested in working at the restaurants i mean amelia did you look at the profile did you see that sentence if i'm being honest i was pretty focused on that house cat tattoo either that or his perfect behind yeah so much good stuff to look at i mean it's not totally your fault amelia like who's having drinks with potential employees? A bar owner.

I mean, you meet on Tinder. Like, Tinder's a hookup site. Come on. Yeah. It can be a hookup site. It can also be used for businesses. And they have a whole business side of the app. He's right.

Seriously, 80% of my workers come from Tinder right now. It's actually been a really good resource. I have my manager on it. I'm on it. The thing is, too, on Tinder, you can say the age range you want, female, male. Is that legal?

I do. I think it's really cool if my boss is on Tinder. I need 25 to 35. Anyone else worried about employment law over here? Yeah, you want to talk about legalities here? I want to get back into the date. It wasn't a date. You mean the job interview?

Well, I don't know. Things happen for a reason. Like this meeting happened. Amelia called us. I don't know. Maybe there's a chance, Rob. We want to send you and Amelia out on another date. Sorry, on a first date, I guess.

Listen, listen. But maybe I should ask Amelia first. I mean, Amelia. Yeah, that's true. Now that you know everything, are you interested still in Rob? I mean, yeah. He's Mr. Perfect. Now, are you interested in dating or the job or both?

Meeting your boss? No, I don't need a job. I have a job. I need a man. Okay. I like that about you, Amelia. Are you sure, Amelia? Because you have a great personality. I just want to host it. You would be amazing if I could put you in the front of the restaurant.

Oh, what's that? What do you think? That's some high praise, Amelia. Maybe if we explore the dating side of things. She's willing to pick up a second job for a date? Dang, you're thirsty.

Dude, that's not too bad. You get paid, though, at the same time. She's like, well, go work three shifts a week if you just make out with me. That just shows what a go-getter she is.

Come on, Rob. You gotta give her a chance. Sorry, but I do have a policy. I don't date any of my employees. Oh. Yeah. Says the boss that's on Tinder. I call BS.

That's another mixed signal. Suddenly, Amelia's not interested in the job anymore. Now she just wants to go out with you. Yeah. When we'll pay for it, if you agree to go out on a date. Rob, what do you say? Even better. As long as she understands, i'm not really looking for a

relationship i was but bro she doesn't want a second interview hey she you're hot she knows what she's getting with a bar owner okay yeah a lot of free drinks yeah so rob like we want a definitive answer here what do you say yes or no uh sure i'd be open to that but you know okay can i pick the restaurant let guess, it's one of yours? If you cover the bill, sure. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You know, it does feel good when people actually agree to meet up again on one of these calls. That's the whole point, right?

It doesn't feel quite as good when they tell us up front, like, oh, yeah, I'm not interested in anything serious at all. It's probably just going to be a one-night thing. This is a really good lesson for everyone to read bios. Oh, yeah. That's true. I never read those. I mean, unless you are only looking for like a short term one night stand thing, then who cares?

But yeah, if you want the real deal, then yeah, read that bio. She ended up at a job interview. Yeah. She didn't know it. You could end up at a job interview for like to be a CEO of like a mega conglomerate company. There you go. You could end up anywhere. And next thing you know, Tinder, you're on an amusement park.

I'm sure that that's how they're hiring over at like Microsoft. Crazier things have happened. Yeah. But anyway, remember, if you ever want to get a second date update, you can always email the show. We'll call the person who isn't calling you back. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Jon Stewart is back at The Daily Show Show and he's bringing his signature wit and
