I'm Emi Olea, host of the podcast Crumbs. For years, I had to rely on other people to tell me my story. And what I heard wasn't good. You really f***ed last night. It felt like I lived most of my life in a blackout. I was trapped in addiction. You had to grab the lamp and smash it against the walls. And then I decided I wanted to tell my own story.

Listen to Crumbs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Second date update. You ever see those couples and you wonder, how did that guy end up with that girl? All the time. Yes. You know, like the Olsen twins and pretty much every old guy they've ever dated. Yeah. They love the senior citizens.

They do. Or Macaulay Culkin and every hot girl he's ever dated. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. How did he get with Mila Kunis? Uh-huh. What is going on there? Weird.

It could be money. She already has money. They're all rich. Exactly. They all love each other. See, it's mysteries like this that just confound my mind. And we have a guy on the phone for a second date update who admits he had a mismatched date, and he was the lucky one.

Oh, that's a good place to be. Yeah, but maybe that's why he's not getting a call back now. His name's Curtis. What's up, Curtis? Yo, how you guys doing? Oh, Curtis, you dating up? Yeah, pretty much. I kind of outkicked my coverage on this one you're accidentally dating up then yeah so what's this girl's name her name is ashley okay we met got together with mutual friends at a uh get together um just in a backyard

and wow not to be crass but she's an absolute smoke show so did you get a chance to talk to her nope well yeah i mean she's stunning and she's never been around these friends before so it was like i immediately noticed her introduced myself eventually and um were you nervous what were you feeling like in that moment yeah i mean there's definitely butterflies because i mean she is that much of a knockout. So, yeah, but, you know, I had a little bit of liquid courage going. Okay.

At some point, I, you know, made an offhand comment about KFC and how I kind of wish that there was KFC at the cookout or kind of just, like, potluck, really. Basically, you're just trashing on everybody's food and saying that, why don't we just do takeout i mean to be fair the food was hot garbage so it was accurate okay yeah so like i said that and i'm like you know i could really use some extra crispy and she's like extra crispy i'm like yeah kfc i'm kind of a i'm kind of a kfc

and she's like oh my god i God, I love KFC, too. And I'm like, wait, what? So, yeah, we did like that. Is that really shocking to you that somebody else loves KFC? I mean, I guess I said that just in some way because I do actually am very much into KFC. It was a meeting point for us, so to speak. And it's hard to believe that hot girls even eat sometimes, right? Yeah, I guess that's true.

Exactly. I mean, i figured she was on like a fully vegan diet or whatever but she wasn't and we started chatting she's a flight attendant which she's always on the go so that's why she's running to kfc and yeah i got enough courage up after that and i was like do you want to go out sometime and she's like yeah that'd be great when she said yes it was like i think i let out an audible sigh which was probably not the coolest thing to do yeah but you know what though it's good to be not cool especially around women who are ultra beautiful and i really think that because it's so refreshing to see someone just

be themselves from your mouth to god's ears mean, like, hopefully that was the case. So what did you guys do for your actual date? So we went out to this nice place, you know, certainly not KFC. And at one point I kind of made a joke about, you know, oyster shooters and being an aphrodisiac. Aphrodisiac jokes are always funny. Don't let Brooke's negativity get you down. Thank you. I mean, well,

maybe, maybe not, because I then kind of doubled down and made a joke about asparagus. What is asparagus? It makes your pee smell? Uh-oh. My understanding, and I'm not sure if it's an old wives tale or anything, but I've always heard that asparagus really gets the libido going.

It's real, you know. Wait, is that the joke or are you being serious? That's serious. I mean, that's what I've heard. And I mean, I, you know, I wasn't like, hey, this is an automatic hookup or anything like that. But, you know, again, I was nervous and I thought, you know, she kind of liked the first joke. But I was going down every food item and telling her. You know what they say about rice. Yeah.

Om nom nom nom nom. It's going to be a good night. Bread sticks, huh, girl? Is that what you're hungry for? Also, you heard about water? Yeah. And it didn't help that I was, like, kind of stuffing my face at the time with asparagus. Which probably also didn't add to this.

Yeah. All right. That might have put a wrench in things. Were you able to recover? I all that I didn't add to this. Yeah. All right. That might have put a wrench in things. Were you able to recover? I'm guessing it didn't help. I mean, look, it seemed like the rest

of the date went well. We talked about what she does and I feel like there was a moment towards the end of the date afterwards where I could have kissed her,

but I didn't. She was full on asparagus. She couldn't have turned you down. And I didn't. She was full on asparagus. She couldn't have turned you down. And I didn't seize the opportunity, and I'm regretting it, and I feel like a jack butt. I'm not sure what I can say on the radio. But, yeah, it's been a few days, and just ghost city, and I haven't heard anything from her.

Okay. Well, I mean, she is a flight attendant, so she may just not be home. Yeah. No, I mean, that's certainly a possibility. I just kind of feel like, you know, the clock struck midnight and here I am. And, like, it was kind of like all a dream. And she's, you know, kind of realized that I'm kind of a schmuck in some ways. But a schmuck with lots of asparagus.

So you've got something going for you. We're going to play a song. We'll come back, call Ashley for you. We'll try and get you a second date update. All right, Curtis? Awesome. Thank you, guys. All right, hold on. 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 tuning in for the second date update, we're on the phone with Curtis, who met a beautiful flight attendant named Ashley. Yes. And he describes Ashley as being a little bit out of his league. They bonded over their mutual love of fine cuisine.

Specifically, Kentucky fine cuisine. Yeah. But when he took Ashley out, he may have made a few too many jokes about aphrodisiacs over dinner. He also felt like he missed out on a good opportunity for a first kiss, but he's hoping that we can call up Ashley, his long-lost flight attendant, and help him book a one-way trip to her heart. Oh, that was cute. I hope it's first class. Now, Curtis, in keeping with standard safety regulations, I will need to perform a cavity search before we make this phone call. Yikes.

On myself, not on you. Okay. How are you still finding stuff up there, Jeffrey? I hope you never work for TSA. It's cavernous. What can I say? Cavernous? Oh, my God.

All right, Curtis, you ready to do this? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Okay. I mean, are you as nervous now as you were the moment you asked her out? Way more. Oh, more? Yeah, much more.

Okay, so we're not in a healthy spot right now, Curtis. Just know that, I mean, there could be a reason why, you know, a perfectly logical reason why she's not calling you back. That is the sound of me knocking on wood. Okay, good. All right. Well, here we go. We're going to dial the phone number, and we're going to see if Ashley answers. You ready?

Yeah. Okay, let's do this. Here we go. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Ashley, please? This is Ashley. Hi, Ashley. My name's Jeffrey from the radio show, Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

Do you have a second to talk with us? Seriously? This is the radio? Yeah. What's up? Oh, my God. Wow, there's more of you. Oh, my God.

We still exist. Radio's still alive. Hey, Ashley. Hi. What's up? I can't tell if you know the show or not, but we're doing something called a second date update. I have heard of this. Okay, so you know that the way it works is if you know the show or not, but we're doing something called a second date update. I have heard of this.

Okay. So you know that the way it works is if you go out with someone and afterwards, if they're not calling you back, you can email our show and we'll reach out to that person to try and figure out the reason why. So someone I went out with called you. Yeah. A guy emailed us about you named Curtis. Okay. Okay. Okay.

That's still positive. You met Curtis at the barbecue? Yes, I did. Okay, okay. Okay, that's still positive. You met Curtis at the barbecue? Yes, I did. I feel bad. I saw he texted me. I'm a flight attendant, so I'm, like, always traveling for work, so I didn't really mean to, like,

not respond to him. Oh, my God. That's what I told him, that that was a possibility, and he thought for sure you were standing him up. He said, go city. Oh, no.

I was, like, out of town. I just kind of missed it. I meant to respond, but no, I really wasn't intentionally ghosting him or anything. So, you're going to call him back? Yeah. I mean, he was a really nice dude. I would definitely hang out with him again. So, no issues with him? No asparagus

issues or anything weird? No. He made a joke about asparagus, which I mean, I've not heard before, but it's very educational, so I don't know. Educational, that's good. So it's all good. Yeah, no, he was really fun actually. This is a lot

easier than we thought. I mean, when I told him it may be something just totally normal, I was lying to him when I said that in the beginning. Brooke is shocked right now. I know, because this never happens. What do we do? Do we just hang up? normal i was lying to him when i said that in the beginning yeah yeah i am i'm like cool because this never happens um well this i guess is gonna happen earlier than it should but ashley we forgot to tell you that curtis has been on the phone listening this entire time he wants to talk to you

curtis yes no no i'm thrilled. This is amazing. Hi. Fantastic. What's going on? This is huge. Incredible. What's up, man? Hi. I can't believe you called the radio, but, you know. Yeah, well, I was a little bit concerned. And, I mean, look, full disclosure, like, guys like me don't end up with girls like you. So, I just, yeah, like, it was, it was, it was weird.

All right. Yeah, I'm beyond super stoked. Well, Curtis, like, it was, it was, it was sweet. All right. Yeah, I'm beyond super stoked. And I mean. Curtis, but hold on. Well, like, you're going to talk yourself out of a date here. Let me just ask her before it gets out of hand. Ashley, would you be willing to go on a second date with Curtis? We'll pay for it.

Yes, I would be willing to do that. Oh, my God. This is the cutest. Amazing. Well, congratulations, Curtis. Thank you. You got the easiest second date update we've ever done. That's amazing.

Dude, and she said such nice things about you, Curtis. I know. Yeah. Wow. I can't believe you were so nervous about this. I mean, I was nervous. I guess now I guess I could say because this is going to happen, I've been in love with her for two years, basically. What? Hold on.

Wait, you said you had never met her before. I haven't met you. You know, like the people you might know option on Facebook, that algorithm or whatever. Because obviously we're mutual friends, your profile came up and yeah, I don't know. I've just been kind of looking at your profile and looking at your pictures and grease and you know, you would actually like KFC and stuff like that. And so I kind of commented on that at the, uh, you made that comment because I am on my Facebook that I like KFC. That's why you said that?

Well, hold on. Yeah, I mean, it's not that weird. I mean, ultimately, you know, everything else is organic. Hold on. You didn't tell us that you had known her before this. You said you just met her. He didn't know her. He knew her Facebook profile.

I did not know him until we met at our friend's party. Curtis, I don't know that I would have told me this if I read I mean the thing is Curtis what's weird about it is it like why wouldn't you just DM her on Facebook two years ago and say hey what's up we have mutual friends like the whole two years of looking at her page is kind of creepy man because it's a lot different to just like DM somebody especially a chump like me like she at my Facebook profile and be like, who in the hell is this loser? Oh, buddy. Did you know that she was going to be at that party that your friends were throwing?

I mean, yeah, I figured as much. I mean, I also did check with one of our friends, just to be sure, but... No, but that's fine. I mean, it's kind of like a setup, right? Like, if your friend was in on it, it's almost like a setup. Ashley, how are you feeling hearing all this? You know, I feel a little weird about it. I wish like full disclosure, you would have just kind of told me that up front because now it feels like you were hiding it or trying to be someone based on my Facebook profile. And I just,

you know, I like you. Like I wouldn't have thought you were a chump or something. So I don't know. I feel a little weird. I honestly, Ashley, I don't think that it's that big of a deal. Honestly. I think that social media is a weird thing these days and people don't know

how to navigate it all the time and he obviously thinks that you're way out of his league. Yeah. I mean, you guys have mutual friends.

Like, there's people that can vouch for him that he's not some stranger that is just stalking you. That's really fair. You're right. When you're friends with people for years online,

I know kids and I'm like, oh, they've grown up so much. I've never even met these people. I sound creepy. You're following children online? I'm following parents and they post pics of their kids next thing you know,

they're four. I remember when they were in diapers. That's a lot stranger than what Chris is doing. I see what he's talking about. You know someone, but you don't know them. Okay.

Yeah. Everyone's a creep, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I's talking about. You know someone, but you don't know. Okay. Yeah. Everyone's a creep, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I noticed your profile. I really admired you. I didn't, you know, from there, it's like you get to a certain point. I don't know.

It's just, you know, and I appreciate you telling me now on the radio. And I promise there's nothing else that I'm hiding that I wouldn't, that I would drag you onto a radio show for that I haven't told you or anything like that. Okay. Yeah. When you say that, it makes it sound like there is something you're hiding, Curtis. I promise you there's nothing. Okay.

Well. Do we re-ask? Yeah, now I'm like. I feel like you should re-ask. I feel like I need to re-ask the question again because we have new information than what we had the first time. Just re-ask. It's over. Ashley seems cool, man.

Yeah. I just want to avoid any liabilities on our end yeah so ashley would you like to go out on another date with curtis we'll pay for it pretend i didn't ask you the first time yeah yes i will um yeah okay hey but it was still a yes take it as a win that's That's a W, Curtis. Yeah, no, trust me. Yes, amazing. Thank you. Well, wow, this is amazing. This is the first time we've ever had two yeses by the same person on a second date update.

Dude, it's like three dates now. Yeah, I guess I'm kind of bricking the mold here. I'm somewhat of a pioneer. All right, let's celebrate. Get out the asparagus. Come on. Hey, everybody. Asparagus and oysters.

And just to be clear, the date you guys are paying for is not a KFC, right? Okay. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. All right, it's been almost a year since we've had them on. Oh, my gosh, that's a long time. Yep, and now they are back once again. Ashley and Curtis are with us today to give us an update on their relationship. How's it going, you guys?

Hi, guys. Hey, what's going on? Doing well. Have you guys been able to manage your fame since being on our show? Oh, yeah. Paparazzi everywhere. Aside from all the fame that you guys are experiencing, how's the relationship going? Are you guys still together?

Are you married? Well, we are together. We've been dating since we were on oh my gosh i didn't expect that that's like a long-term relationship that's a lot of kfc dinners that you guys are eating yeah only kfc the whole time that's the only place we go so what is what does that mean are you living together are you just where are you at? So we've been dating. We actually just got back from a two-week-long trip together. And during the trip, we stopped at my family's house that he met my parents for the first time.

That's a big deal. How did that go? Curtis, do you like her more or less after that experience? Don't answer that, bro. I mean, it was a really fun time. Our parents are super nice, awesome. Nice. There was some pressure. I put a really fun time. Our parents are super nice, awesome. Nice. There was some pressure to put a ring on it.

What? They were mostly joking. Like, they're kind of old-fashioned. They've seen me get hurt sometimes. They're not super serious about that, I don't think. But it also means they see you're happy, which is a good thing. Parents know. Okay.

Is that something that you're open to, Curtis? Yeah. I mean, I don't see us going down the aisle right now but you know it's it's a long way off it's heading that way okay okay i agree with that like i think we need a little more time i would say no need to rush it right forever is a long time trust me sure i mean for me i was thinking along the lines of like three or four years or so and like i said, right around that time. Okay, I have not heard that number, but.

Three or four years until you get engaged? Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Oh, wait, you don't agree with that, Ashley? You just said you want to take it slow. Well, I haven't heard three or four years. Like, is that really how long you want to wait for that? Babe, like, it took me two years to even muster up the courage to even ask you out in the first place.

We'll talk about it. Like, a happy medium, like a year and a half to a year vibe, I think, sounds good to me. Curtis, I think you're just going to end up doing whatever Ashley says. I think it's cute that you have a decision in all of this. Yeah, you think that. We don't have to decide on a specific date when you're going to get engaged right now. All that matters is we're going to go and we're invited. Yes.

And it's catered by KFC. Yeah. Of course. All right. Well, congratulations. It's good to hear from you two again. Yeah. Thank you guys so much, by the way.

Oh, yeah. All love, guys. Thanks for calling. Keep us updated. Will do. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Ugh. We're so done with new year, new you. This year, it's more you on Bumble.
