We get a lot of listeners who email the show describing their dates to us. Yeah. But Sophia is the first to ever say her first date was just like the love story in the movie Up. What? That's a terrible... That movie's so bad. It's an interesting way to describe it because that relationship I'm pretty sure has a pretty sad ending. She's like, I'm 96 and my husband died.

It's beautiful, but she's the one that should be dead if that's the story. Oh, your wife is the one. Or who knows, maybe they're... It's really sweet, though's the one that should be dead The Boy Scouts is usually how my dates end up Let's welcome to the show Sophia Sophia can't wait to hear how you felt like your date was like that Pixar film. There was no Boy Scout. Unfortunately, there were no balloons. No balloons either. Is the guy just super old?

In square glasses. Yeah, what do you mean it's like up? Well, you know how they're just like this perfect match right from the beginning it felt like that and it felt like we just fit and i could just like see the whole montage not all the sad stuff that is a lot of pressure on a first date to feel that way i mean it's beautiful that's beautiful totally so who died on the date? Nobody died. But a house got repossessed. It's just our hope that died because he's not calling back. Maybe it'll make sense the more that we hear the story.

Let's start with the guy's name. So his name is Andy. Okay, where'd you meet him? We actually met on a dating app and we talked for a while. I thought he was so cute. He had that like perfect square jawline and even did his hair similarly to Carl from the movies. Wait. Oh my God.

Aw, cute. The old man in Up does have a really square head. Yeah. Yeah, that's interesting. Did you tell him that? I did. I did mention it a little bit. You did?

That could be. But, I mean, I told him that I thought it was so, so cute. Well, we're going to mark that as red balloon number one. Yes. That's a good way to call it, Jeff. I like that. What did you guys do for your date? My sister actually gave me this vintage wicker basket.

Oh, God. I was telling Andy that I've always wanted to use it. I've never had a good enough excuse. I love a good picnic basket. A pick-a-nick basket. A pick-a-nick basket. Was your sister perhaps a chubby Boy Scout? No?

Did she just get super high and watch up and think that she lived the movie? She, like, didn't leave her home? Yeah, she said, like, where did he go? I was floating in the sky. You gotta stop them. Tell us what happened. Oh, it's so funny though. People were texting him.

They wanted to shut up. You wanted to use your picnic basket. He was down for that? He was. He was so excited. And it was so just like wholesome. And he was in charge of bringing the actual food. And I was in charge of bringing the activities.

And the basket. Yeah. With no food in it. Activities. I ended up bringing bubbles, which I realized quickly was really stupid. I was thinking a Frisbee would be a cool... Bubbles.

I see that now. Okay. The bubbles lasted for all of like 30 seconds. It wasn't super entertaining. I brought some like finger painting stuff. I thought that would be cute too. How old is this guy? Can I have the Z7?

To be fair, the big bubble wands are actually sweet. There you go. What did he say when you're pulling out all this elementary school fun? It's like a fun day at the park, but this does not seem romantic. We're both creative people, and so

he laughed and blew a few bubbles. And so I thought that maybe they'd be good activities to keep the hands distracted, but allow conversations to flow. And so I don't know. I thought it was a good idea. Okay. We have red balloons two and three. This is not that bad. We're kidding.

We're just joking around. As long as you were happy and he was happy so what happened next so the part that was more like the movie up um we walked around the park we like found this perfect spot where there was like a clearing we laid down this old blanket and we just looked up at the clouds we like talked and shared our dreams and it was just Were either of you drunk? Had anybody been drinking at this point? No. No drinking.

Surprisingly. It was so natural and that's what I meant by something just seemed very comfortable and Okay. That's great. We are so jaded. We are giving you a hard time about it but it sounds okay so far was there any was there any like low moments during the date or anything that has you worried there was

one i think really small moment that is the only thing i can think of okay okay what happened so this sweet little golden doodle ran up to me at one point. There's a dog? I mean, it's a park. I guess there would be dogs, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Why is that a low moment? Yeah.

Well, the owner walked up and I started asking him questions about his puppy because I thought it was so cute. And now that I'm thinking back on it, maybe Andy could have thought something else was going on. I'm like... Oh, like you were hitting on the Golden Doodle's dad? I mean, the owner was an attractive guy and I was asking a lot of questions. It was genuine interest about just the dog.

His jaw was even squarer than the guy you were with. They actually would have included that in the movie Up if the woman didn't die at the beginning. You know, like, the real story. Well, when i looked back the whole time i thought andy was like right there but i looked back and he was sitting on the blanket just like blowing bubbles by himself oh i broke off the conversation very quickly after that i went back to andy and i apologized and you know was saying i just really like dogs but

i don't know it felt like maybe a little awkward. That's not a red flag to you, huh? Or a red balloon, sorry, Jeffrey. Red balloon. But overall, it was a really, really great day. But he stopped responding to my text. So I'm just trying to figure out what's going on because this has now turned into like the ghost of up.

I'm ghosted. Okay. Ghost of up. Okay, now it's, like, the ghost of Up. I'm ghosted. Okay. Ghost of Up. Yeah. Okay. Now it's more like Coco. Yeah, I get it. I get it.

Brooke and I understand. There's definitely been a lot of red balloons on this first date. We're going to try and pop them and bring us back down to Earth, get you a second date when we call Andy for you right after this, okay? Thank you so much. Give me my Disney dream, please. Hold on. It's the music per request by Brooke.

Yes. 99 Red Balloons. I love this song. It's so good. We're using them to symbolize red flags because our listener, Sophia, compared her date to parts of the movie Up. Not the death parts or the Boy Scouts or the floating house. No. 99% of the movie.

Like 99 balloons. Right. It's just the connection that she had, which she describes in her email as possibly lifelong. My gosh. If we can get her another date with Andy after they're made up at the park. He does kind of look like, because of his chiseled jaw, a young version of Molde. So there's similarities there. That's my recap. Brooke,

you're a witness. Feel free to badger her. No, honestly, if this actually works out for you, what a great start to a love story. I mean, that's what you're trying to write here, which, whew, it's a lot of pressure. No? Hello?

Sophia? Hi. Hi. Yeah, I know a lot of people tune out the second that Brooke starts talking, so I apologize for throwing it over to her. Try to be encouraging, Sophia. That's why I'm going to stop doing that. It was actually cute. I'm excited for you.

Sorry. Sorry. She's fantasizing about her future. Don't be nervous. We're here for you. Sorry. She's fantasizing about her future. Don't be nervous. We're here for you. Let us take over and we're going to call Andy for you. You can stay quiet until we call you in, okay? Or just stay quiet even

when we do call you in. We'll try to not let Brooke talk too much. Here we go. Snooze fest. All right. Hello? Hey, is this Andy? Yes, it is.

Hey, what's up, Andy? You're not sure if you're used to being on any radio shows early in the morning, but today's your day. All right, Andy. You're on the radio, bud. Yay! Welcome to the show. See, as soon as Brooke starts talking...

What is going on? Is it on? That's the problem, I think. Andy, you still there? Let's turn that thing off. Andy, you still there? Yeah, what's going on? Sorry, Brooke.

You're on Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and we're doing something called a second date update, trying to help out one of our listeners that you met up with recently named Sophia. Okay. Yeah. Hey, do you remember Sophia? Yeah. You sound really down about it. Maybe he's just skeptical.

Maybe. This is a little shocking, a random radio show just skeptical. And this is a little shocking. A random radio show calls you. So this is how the segment works. Our listeners email us asking for help to hook you two up again because she doesn't know why you haven't done that yet after what sounded like a really nice date in the park. Yeah.

Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye.

Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Were those just vowels?

Yeah. It's like, sometimes why? Let me just give you an easy question. What do you think about Sophia? To be honest, I just kind of didn't trust her all that much. What? Oh, trust. I'm sorry.

That's just shocking to us because she just sounds so innocent and lovely. Yeah, that's what people want you to believe. That's what she sounded like. Maybe she's a good actor. Yeah, maybe you have some insider info that we don't know. Yeah, why do you say you don't trust her? It's like something about her profile. We met online.

But, I mean, if it's on her profile, you would know that before you went out. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Right? Yeah, well, on her profile, like, the last picture she has is, like, a picture of her feet, for some reason I noticed. What? Oh. Like in the sand on the beach or something?

Yeah, somewhere. And that was really weird, because I, you know, I saw her in person, and, like, they weren't her feet. What do you mean? What the heck? I felt a little foot fished, I guess. Foot fished?

Foot fished. You got foot fished. What does that even mean? You got cat finned. How did you even see her feet? Well, she had them off when we were, you know, we were having a picnic. She had her feet off? I know at the park.

No. Call someone about that. She took her shoes off in the that. She took her shoes off in the park? She took her shoes off, right. Okay. Are you like a feet guy? No, I'm not a feet guy at all.

They're fine feet. I just don't... I just noticed that there weren't her feet. Oh. How can you tell? Yeah. You don't have to be a foot guy

to realize it's just like that her feet on profile were just completely different feet. And I mean, I don't know why you would lie about your feet. It is a little odd that you would highlight it on your profile. Everyone's trying to make money off foot pics. You think that's what it is? Well, we should call her and ask her if it was a mistake, if she even realizes she did

it. Yeah, call her. I bet she'll tell you they weren't her feet. Oh. Oh. Then she even realizes she did it. Call her. I bet she'll tell you they weren't her feet. Oh. Then she'd be telling the truth. It's an interesting idea to call her. Or we don't even have to because she's actually on the other line already, listening and wanting to talk to you.

What is going on? Like, is this a big setup? No. No, it's not. I just, you weren't responding. And I just, I thought our date was so great. And we had a great connection, and I just wanted answers. Okay, well, what's going on with the feet on your profile?

Do you know what he's talking about? I do. So I guess, like, the first reason is, like, it weeds out the weirdos. I think it attracts the weirdos. I was going to say. It sounds like it does opposite. You know very quickly who is going to be weird and who's not when they're reaching out. If they're commenting specifically on your foot pic, that's how you know don't respond to them.

I noticed you liked and commented on just the foot. That to me is just like weirdly manipulative. And it sounds like Andy didn't even react to your foot pic online. That's why she liked him. No, there's more. I promise. Okay. online that's why you liked him right so no there's more i promise okay if you read the caption on my picture it says those are like my perfect dream disney feet like i thought it was like quirky and funny and like disney princesses have perfect feet but i was trying to like make

it a funny joke of so you're the weirdo. I don't have Rapunzel's toes. There's no white ankles. Okay. I mean, Andy, did you read the caption of her foot pic? I mean, to be honest with you, it wasn't something I really noticed until after. I was just looking at her profile, and I mean, girls post a lot of crap

that you just don't care about. I was just like, oh. No, that's the answer we're looking for, Andy. Wait, did you see that caption? Is she being honest about it? Like, is it still there, Sophia? Could he pull it up and look at it right now? It's there.

It's definitely there. And, like, I was very upfront. Like, these are not my feet. These are, like, my perfect Disney feet. So she's saying it's a trap to weed out the weirdos and she was honest about it. And it does make sense a little bit because we spoke to Sophia

earlier and she was mentioning the movie Up a lot. She's big into Disney and things like that. It really resonates with her. She said she even told you that you looked like the man from Up. You know you're a Disney adult if you know the old guy's name. Yeah.

You know? She knew his name was Carl. I don't even know his name. Don't you see that as a compliment, Andy? Disney adults freak me out, man. Like, I don't know what's going on there. What? No, she said you were handsome.

That's not what you said on our date, Andy. We were, like, laying on a blanket Looking up at clouds in the sky And you were pretty up front With your Disney knowledge Okay I didn't think it was related to feet though At the time That takes it to a whole different level If you had a problem with it

I'm not sure why you didn't just bring it up And why you instead chose to ghost me That seems pretty immature I will say she's coming across pretty mature That was just bring it up and why you instead chose to ghost me. That seems pretty immature. I will say she's coming across pretty mature. That was me bringing it up. That was me bringing it up, ghosting you. Oh. Okay, that's not really...

Very passive-aggressive. Just like Carl from Up movie. You think he's passive-aggressive? He's very passive-aggressive, grumpy man. It's pretty obvious he's not happy. His wife just died Yeah, because he loves her And that's what we're trying to establish here

A love connection Yeah, just wait until she sends you a boob pic That'll be like, make boobs too You never know what party part you're getting Before we start sending erotic photos to each other Let's send you out Erotic Disney photos Let's just send you out on a second date

That we would pay for If you're up for it, Andy. It's just the Disney thing is just kind of weird. And the feed thing, you know, I can handle a little Disney and like, you know, I went along with the conversation. But it's just kind of like, eh. Wow. That's too bad. Just can't handle getting foot fish.

Andy, I hope that you find somebody who can at least compete with your Pokemon card collection. Oh! Do you have one of those? Yeah, I have like old Pokemon cards from when I was like 12. Oh, yeah. Well, they're worth a lot of money now,

so it's actually very responsible. Kind of jealous of you, bro. I guess have a great life, Andy. I don't know what else to say. It's really disappointing that you decided to act that way. I guess if you want to call somebody childish, sure, I'll take the blame. But at least I am happy at the end of the day and I don't burn bridges with people that would have treated me well. Yeah, I guess you could go make your own happy ending.

Yeah.
