Brooke swears she's never used the dating apps before. I haven't. Is that true, or because she knows that her family listens to the show sometimes? No, I really haven't. But with the way we've been doing our Second Date Updates lately, it's kind of like, Brooke, you're getting the online experience anyway. Because we've been asking people to open up their dates profiles and read us some of the stuff that they've wrote on there. And I'll say, I have flipped through my single friends dating profiles.

Now our story's changed all of a sudden. What about a test, Brooke? If you want to match with someone, which direction do you swipe? Everyone knows that. You swipe right. Oh! Suddenly she's an expert. Anyway, now that Brooke has schooled us

on how online dating works, maybe you can talk to Shauna, who wants our help today, and we want to get into Shauna's dates profile, too. Shauna, welcome to our happy little slice of morning radio. Hey, thanks. You're welcome, Shauna. dates profile too. Shauna, welcome to our happy little slice of morning radio. Hey, thanks. You're welcome, Shauna. So who did you swipe

right on? I swiped right on a guy named Hunter. Hunter, okay. He says he's looking for a lady to match his energy. Jose, you should put that on your dating profile. Oh man, we would be high energy. We would be exhausted. Someone with the energy of 10,000's it. Jose, you should put that on your dating profile. Oh, man. We would be high energy.

We would be exhausted. Someone with the energy of 10,000 suns. I'm like, hi, hi. Oh, my God. What's your name? What's your name? Oh, I love you. Someone's out there for you.

What else? What else do you want to say? That's a lot. Okay. So we have sports pics on here. Like he's in different like jogging attire. Okay. So he's an active guy and also says he's an old soul that is dreaming of moving to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere

oh all right now you lost me i grew up in a tiny dream i'm gonna tell you i grew up in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere nothing romantic about it yeah that's a really sad story while your parents listen to this? It's like the opposite of Hallmark. They thought it was going to be more picket fences less meth labs. They didn't plan on what small town life is actually like.

Are you into that? Yeah. I love gardening and I would love to have some animals and stuff like that. I don't think meth labs have played it. I hope not. But anyway. We'll call it a plan B for you in case it doesn't work out.

Anything else on there? And then he ends it with, he's unapologetically me. So this is great. That's a red flag. I'm sorry. But guys or girls that say that, it's always like. It basically says I'm drama. Yeah.

And I'm not going to apologize. Well, it worked for her. She swiped on him already. It did. For now. Shania, you're much more forgiving than any of us are, so tell us about the date that you went on. Okay, so our date was great. He took me to a pro hockey game.

Oh, fun. And I kind of like hockey, so it was kind of a good thing. Yeah, so anyway. But the bad thing about it is that there was no parking. We, like, literally circled the parking lot for 20 minutes. Did you say the best thing about it was there was no parking? The worst thing about it, yeah. Like, one of the worst things about it, there was no parking, yeah.

So we looked for, like, 20 minutes, and then I realized that I didn't have my gloves. And so I made him take me home. What? Are you going to get in the glove box? What do you need the gloves for? You just mean like regular gloves? No, I understand. You guys, I'm always cold. Like right now, my hands are freezing.

I just have cold hands all the time. You say you made him take you home? Yeah, yeah. We haven't found parking at that point anyway. So I'm like, just take me home and get my gloves. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's okay.

So you missed the whole first period, it sounds like. Wow. Probably. Yeah, but we did come back, and we saw the rest of the game, which was great. And then... So wait, that didn't ruin his mood, like having a demand like that? No. No, he was so sweet about it.

He's like, I get it. It's very nice. Plus, he doesn't want to get hugged by her if she has cold hands, too, so that's why he made it bad. Find me a woman that doesn't have cold hands. Cold hands, I know. Cold hands, cold hands warm heart anyway the game was great and then he took me home because you know games are long and then um he was like can i come in to my apartment i was like well you can totally come in but it's really cluttered i'm doing this home project but i kind of just discourage him

because i really didn't want him in my mess because it's embarrassing. Trying to be polite, but you're like, yeah, if you come in though, it's going to be the worst experience of your life, but you can. So he didn't come in? No, he did not come in. Oh good, he got the hint. Yeah. So then, you know, I texted him and he was like, I had a great time. He texted me. I had a great time. But then there's been no, let's get together again. Let's go out on another date. There's been like this, hi, how are you?

I think she does match my energy. I was going to say, you are definitely a lot of energy, I can tell you. It's a good thing, I think. I'm not sure if it matches his energy, though, because I don't know what he's like. I'm telling you, I don't know, but I'm telling you guys, we really did have a good time all right he was really nice and i had such a great time it's just kind of what what what it's kind of like you know well i want to hear this

in person when we call we're gonna dial his number in just a few minutes first we'll play a song we'll come back and then we'll try and get you a second date update right after this okay okay all right second date update you're in the middle of a second date update right after this, okay? Okay. All right, hold on. Second date update. You're in the middle of a second date update update, and we're going to find out how the couple is doing right after you hear part two. If you're just joining us for the second date, we're on the phone with Shawna, who clearly has a lot of personality. Yes.

She's got high energy with freezing cold hands and a messy apartment filled with secret projects that she doesn't want her date to see. I think it was just the mess that she didn't want him to see, not the project. Well, because after the hockey date, Shauna told Hunter in no uncertain terms, no, you cannot come inside and see my place. It's a pretty bold ask for a guy to go. Can I come in? I mean, they've already pretty bold ask for a guy to go, can I come in? True. I mean... They've already been there twice that day.

For the first time, she had to go pick up the gloves. She found her gloves in the clutter. It's true. I'm curious, Jose, as a guy, would you take that personally if a girl turned you away at the door? I would definitely read into it. I mean, it's like, most of the time, if a girl says it's messy

in there, it's nothing compared to a guy's mess. What you live with. Exactly. There are some clean men. I don't know them. Brooke, I would ask you, but I know you've never turned away a guy at the door, so let's forget it. Never had to, Jeff. Never had to.

Jump in the clutter. Shauna, how are you doing? Are you okay before we call Hunter here? I'm good. You guys are hysterical. Okay. Oh, good. Nobody else has ever said that.

No one's told us to say it to our face. No, I hope we can get you a date. I mean, maybe he's just been busy or something. Yeah, I hope so. All right. Let's find out for sure. We're going to dial Hunter's number right now, and we'll see what he has to say, okay? Okay.

And just for the record, we think you're hysterical too. Yeah! We're matching energies! You're welcome. Alright. Let's just call him. Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Hunter?

Yes, this is him. Who is this? Hey, this is Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Is this the same Hunter that went out with a girl recently named Shauna to a hockey game? Who's asking? I'm sorry.

Me? Yeah. What is your name? Who are you? He already said that. I said my name. You guys say you're from the radio? Yeah, yeah, we do a morning radio show yeah it's called brooke and jeffrey in the morning oh okay so wait i'm really confused right now i'm sorry this is this has never happened to me before well we'd like to ask you questions about the date because shauna reached out to us afterwards

and said she had a really nice time with you oh uh it's part of a thing that we do called a second date update and we're trying to help her get some answers for why afterwards you two aren't reconnecting um well uh she's she's something that's for sure is she being too eager like were you gonna get back to her were you guys i'm assuming you spoke to her right so i'm guessing you kind of got the feel from her that she's uh a lot of energy she's a lot yeah but she said i mean she told us on your dating profile it says you're looking for someone to match your energy i mean people who write that are only people who are like high energy right like don't get me wrong i'm all for matching energies but uh there's levels to these sort of thing and uh levels the date itself was fine i mean albeit that there were

minor inconveniences having to go out of my way to get her gloves and it's a whole thing okay yeah we we heard about that and from what we understand she felt kind of bad that she left her gloves and made you leave and miss part of the game. She even called you a total gentleman about the whole shit. She told me about that. And I understood. It's fine. It's whatever.

That's not what the deal breaker was for me. So there is a deal breaker. Yes. One specific reason. And that was kind of like the cherry on top. And I was just kind of like, OK, now I can't go through with it. The gloves were at the beginning. Like, what was it then?

Yeah. The tail end of it. Okay. The very end. Yeah, the very, very, very end of it when we went back to her place and she's telling me about this project that she's working on. It's a mess. You know, she's telling me, I don't think it's, you know,

you might feel comfortable. It's a little cramped in there. Okay. And I asked, what's this project that you're working on? And she told me that she has christmas trees she's you know i was like okay well christmas time is coming and but she said plural trees i'm like wait you have more than one oh yeah some people do that or you have a bunch of small trees that'd be cute yeah what's the problem well she has five of them and

she's working on three more she has eight trees trees? Does she like make them for other people and then deliver them or something? It's for her. Just to have around the household. What? Full-size trees? Like every room in the house has a full-size tree? I don't know if it's all in one room or if it's in one room and one's in a bedroom and one's in a... I don't know.

One in each corner of every room. So you hate Christmas? Is that what it is? No. Yeah. No. I'm not trying to be the Grinch here. I'm just saying that, you know, and then she seemed a little compulsive, obsessive over it to the point where it's kind of creepy. So it sounds to me like you might see her as a little bit high maintenance. Well, I'll tell you this much.

I've been on enough dates through the apps to know that when someone obsesses over something like this, it's a major red flag. Bro, I like to call red flags fun facts. Because sometimes it turns out, you know, good. Look at this. Red is the color of Christmas. Maybe you could be the green flag to go with her. And I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation she could give you right now when we put her on the other line because she's actually been there the whole time, Hunter. Whoa, whoa, whoa, what?

Yeah, she's been listening to this conversation. Hi, Hunter. Hi, Hunter. Oh, my gosh. Oh. Yeah. So, okay. So, I'm listening to this and my head is about to explode.

First of all, you haven't even been in my house. How have I been in my house? This energy. Well, I mean, you sounded like you didn't even want me to come in. Well, I did because I have ornaments everywhere and everything else. They're so cool. So I have like a forest. Yes, I do admit.

You have a forest? In my living room. It's kind of like a forest. I have like little elves and stuff. You know, I put one in my garage, and I have it decorated, like, with, like, little tools, like, with little nuts and bolts, little wrenches. Oh, see, Hunter, there. You definitely overreacted.

Not a red flag at all. Oh, yeah. And then I have one in the bathroom. I actually put one in the bathroom, like, in the corner. I take out my hamper and put, like, it in the bathroom. Wait, like a full-size tree? But why? Yeah, it's great. You have a big bathroom. Yeah, I need a bigger bathroomper and put like it in the bathroom. Wait, like a full-sized tree? But why? Yeah, it's great.

You have a big bathroom. Yeah, I need to get a bigger bathroom. It's pretty big. It's tall and skinny. You know how trees are like different shapes and sizes and whatever. This is my tall, skinny tree. Okay. I have it decorated.

Okay. Shauna, Shauna, thank you for sharing so much. I think we get the picture now. You love Christmas. You love all the trees in your house. I love Christmas. He sounds like a Grinch. And are you bah humbugging? You're a bah humbug. You love Christmas. You love all the trees in your house. I love Christmas. He sounds like a grinch. And are you bah humbugging?

You're a bah humbug. I don't think so. I would just like to give Hunter a chance to respond to you a little bit about what he thinks about all the trees in your house. Hunter? Well, I'm not going to try to. Hold on a second. Let him get out maybe more than two words this time. Hunter, give it a shot.

Don't get me wrong. I am all for Christmas spirit. I love nature, foliage, you name it. But outside the house, you know, maybe one Christmas tree suffices. Standard creation. That's about Christmas for you. I just can't get over you put up eight trees, which means you take down eight trees. I'm kind of hearing that she's rich.

Those are expensive. Big houses. Well, she's got a lot of energy. Eight trees is probably the equivalent of one tree for us. What do you do for New Year's? What do you do for Valentine's? Like, now you have me thinking. Well, you know, Valentine's is great.

I have a whole, like, a separate storage unit for all of my decorations for every holiday of the year. Hunter was asking her about Valentine's Day, which makes me think he is planning ahead. He is interested. Hunter, we would love to send you on that pre-Valentine's Day date, and we will pay for it. Oh. Are you sure? Oh, yes, my friend. I mean, you've got to give her.

She is fun. She is spirited. Fair enough, fair enough, fair enough. And we know from your dating profile, Hunter, that you're unapologetically yourself. And you can continue to unapologetically be yourself on that next date. Do you have my profile pulled up right now? No. But I will say the majority of people in this room thought that was a red flag.

So maybe you can look over her red flag. Shauna sure did. Come on, Hunter, one more chance. We'll pay for it, man. Red flag, green flag, put them together. Christmas. Is that a... What color is that?

It's a purple flag. No, it's like brown. It's like a bad NASCAR race car. Oh, it's a yucky car. What do you say, Hunter? You're paying, definitely. Oh, if we're paying. All right, he's unapologetically cheap, too.

So congratulations. You get another date. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Well, it's been almost an entire year since we've had them on. But apparently Hunter and Shauna are still dating, which is great. But the holidays are coming up again. I wonder if that's going to cause any tension in their relationship. I would say it already has.

This girl has already decorated. There is no way she's waiting. Hunter, Shauna, how are you guys doing? Oh, we're so good. Can you hear us? Merry Christmas! Can you hear us in the forest in your house? Oh, we haven't even started yet. No. Oh, you haven't.

Why? Is that normal for you or are you trying to be considerate of him? No, totally normal. Oh, okay. Good. Hunter, how are you doing? Is that normal for you, or are you trying to be considerate of him? No, totally normal. Oh, okay, good. All right. Hunter, how are you doing? Are you excited for the holidays this season? Yeah, yeah, I'm excited.

I'm actually more excited for her, you know, so her being excited makes me excited. Oh, that's a good boyfriend. I mean, where are you guys at? Are you living together or what? Yeah, we're together. I mean, we're actually upping the ante this time around. You're upping the ante? What does that mean?

So we're actually, instead of eight trees, we're doing nine. Oh! Another one. Oh, my gosh. Is that ninth tree like your tree,

the couple's tree? It's like the man cave tree. Is that how it works? It was in the basement. There's actually something really special about this extra tree because this one,

we're actually going into the forest to get it ourselves. We're going to cut it down oh it's gonna be totally like a hallmark movie i'm so excited oh that's cute also check for squirrels yeah hunter i'm curious is shauna like this on any other holiday of the year now that you've almost spent like a whole one together is she like this for anything else well at, at first I thought it might, but no, it's actually only Christmas. She has a spreadsheet that she has prepared in July. A spreadsheet?

Oh, in July. Is it? Yeah. Okay. It has to be that way because I've got to keep it all organized and I have to write down like all the themes of the trees and what goes on each tree. Yeah, it has to be that way. Wow. At least we keep it all organized and I have to write down like all the themes of the trees and what goes on each tree yeah I have to be that way at least we keep it simple I feel like you should start your own business Santa should hire you to actually run the workshop you need to go and set up the North Pole oh it sounds like you guys are in a really great relationship yeah it's really

great he's amazing oh you guys if you get married, will you get married at Christmas time? Amongst our forests. Yes. I love it. I love it. Keep us updated on your relationship. Happy to hear from you. Congratulations.
