We got an email that was kind of vague from a guy named Adam who says he went on a Sunday patio date. It lasted a little over an hour. They did not leave at the same time, and she ran out.

Oh, man. That's not a good sign. Again, I'm not sure what that all means. they did not leave at the same time and she ran out. Oh, man. That's not a good sign. Again, I'm not sure what that all means. That's all I know. But it leads me to conclude that he probably flashed her at the end of the meal and that's what caused her to run. I was thinking she had food poisoning.

I only say that because that's what happened to me three times. Someone flashed you? No, I'm sorry. I mean, I did that to other people three times someone flashed you no i'm sorry i mean i did that to other people three times and they ran out yeah how have you been arrested yet no i'm very fast so adam am i close with my guess there no that is the right answer i'm glad you're direct with that okay well you tell me the story then.

Let's start at the beginning. What's this girl's name? Her name's Jessica. Okay. You guys met on a dating app, I'm just assuming? Yes, we met on Tinder. Okay. Okay.

What else do you assume, Brooke? I don't know. That it was his idea to go on a patio date? Is that right? By patio, I'm guessing you mean like at a restaurant, right? Yeah, yeah. We met at a restaurant. It was a Sunday. It was like close to noon. Brunch?

Yeah, okay. Brunch on the Lord's Day. No, we didn't do brunch. We did beer and pizza, actually. Oh, nice. That's early. Early beer and pizza. Yeah, that's not early. Okay. Tell us all about it. How did it go?

I'm not quite sure because Well, that's not early. Okay. Okay. Tell us all about it. How did it go? Well, I'm not quite sure because... Well, that's not good. Yeah. I need your guys' opinion on this because I was talking with my roommate about it. She thinks it was a scam. What? A scam. Yeah.

You were scamming her or she was scamming you? She was scamming me. Okay, wait. So start from the beginning. Did everything seem normal when you showed up to the date? Yeah, yeah. Everything seemed fine. I showed up.

I was there first. And then she came in and I recognized her immediately. Okay, so she looks like her picture. Yeah, she actually looked better than her picture. Oh, okay. Yeah, so when she walked in, I noticed she was carrying a laptop bag. Okay. Okay.

Maybe she was going later to work or something. Well, hang on to that because it comes back in a little bit later. So I give her a hug and we sit down and order our food and our beer and we're having sort of like normal small talk conversation like the getting to know you out of the way. What do you do for work? What's your social security number? All the usual. Well, on my profile, it says I work in IT, and she brought that up. She goes, well, you work in IT, right? And I'm like, yeah. She goes, well, I have my laptop here, and I've been having problems.

No. What's wrong with that? She's, like, finding dates on Tinder to fix things. Do you think that that's what she was doing? I don't think so. I don't think so. No, because, like, we're sitting there talking the entire time, and we're still getting to know each other.

While you're working on her computer at this point? Yeah, yeah. For basically, like, the next hour, I was working on her computer while we were talking. Okay, so you were used. Yeah, I mean, it'd be one thing if during the date, he said IT, they talk about it, and she's like, oh, my God, my computer at home. I'll bring

it next time. Totally. This is she shows up expecting him to do something. Brooke, I'm not going to jump to any conclusions here until I hear the very end of this. Okay. Sometimes things just work out in the way that they do. Well, you told us she ran away right at the beginning, so. And your friends think you're being scammed.

How did that happen? Did she leave her computer when she ran away? We don't know all the details. Yeah. Well, no. So I finished working on her computer and I got it to work like a little bit. But I told her, I was like, you know, it's not quite fixed 100%. You can probably do some things on it, but you should go get it looked at by somebody else.

Okay. And so I gave it back to her and then she put it back in her bag and then she just said she had to leave. And the way I'm looking at it is just maybe she didn't plan on spending the entire hour there. Maybe she had other plans going on. Oh, like you held her up staying on her computer too long. That's kind of the way that I feel

is that I was keeping her occupied. I can see that, especially if you thought it was going to be a five, 10 minute thing. You sound super kind and nice. I will say that. Absolutely. But there's some unanswered questions here.

Like who ate the pizza and who drank the beer? That's a good point. I got like one piece. Okay. And who paid for it? I did. Uh-huh. How many beers did you drink?

I didn't drink any. A sober pizza date that you paid for? And you want to call her back? Yeah, that's a good question, Alexis. Why? Why would you want to get a hold of her again? Well, I talked to my roommate about this and he sort of put this bug in my ear that it's a scam and I don't think it is, but I need confirmation. Okay. You know, maybe it's not a scam is, but I need confirmation. Okay. Oh, okay. You know, maybe it's not a scam. Maybe we're being cynical. Maybe...

Yeah, maybe you're just really ugly. What? Well, I'm giving other reasons. What? Yeah. Like she's just not interested? No? Okay, let's just go back to this.

Let's go with something else. Kind of, hopefully. I'm not ugly. I'm a decent-looking dude. There you go. Oh, eliminated that. There you go.iminated that Already seen End of the bottom of it

That is what Unattractive people do say Oh no Jeffrey But I believe it man You know I've seen Your pictures online And I really can't Say the same thing

Very true At least we agree on that Absolutely I'm very ugly How about we take A quick break And then when we come back This whole room

Full of uggos We'll call your desk And we'll try And get you another Or at least a concrete answer on what's really going on when we do your second date update next second date update you're in the middle of a second date update update and we're gonna find out how the couple is doing right after you hear part two would a woman ever try to purposefully take advantage of a man's kindness? No, Jeff. By pretending to be interested in him?

No. Just to use him for something? Jeff, that sounds awful. No, it sounds great. Great? No, I'm kidding. It's not very nice. It's not very nice.

I need to know where everybody stands in this room. Because, Alexis, it sounds like you're pretty sure this was a scam from the very beginning. Obviously. Obviously. You seem pretty convinced too, Brooke. Why is it? Why do you think you're so sure that this is all like a setup? Because she called and found out how much it was going to cost to get it fixed at a shop.

And so she's like, I got a better idea. I mean, he advertised that he was IT on his dating profile. Well, the whole thing that happened, if you missed it, is our listener Adam met Jessica on Tinder. And they had a patio beer and pizza date thing planned where ultimately he ended up just fixing her laptop the entire time because she brought it along with her. He didn't even get a beer. Like, she didn't even buy him a beer for fixing her laptop. A slice of pizza. That he paid for.

And got the laptop working then she grabbed it and said how sweet he was really quick before running off oh man so we're gonna find out what's really going on here adam how are you feeling man i'm feeling okay i just i just want to make sure if it was a scam like why did she do this well and it'd be good for you to know so you could prevent it in the future. Right, right. But, but, but if she does like me, I would like to see her again and not have to fix her laptop. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, that was an hour race and you guys could have been talking. Maybe you could set up her smart speakers in her house. Yeah, I feel like she's going to have other broken items. I'm hopeful for you, even if nobody else in the room is. I'm hopeful, bro. Thank you. Yeah, let's put some positive vibes up. Let's do it.

Let's give it a call. Here we go. Hello? Hey, we're looking for Jessica. Yeah, this is Jessica. Hey, Jessica. You're on a morning radio show right now called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hi.

Hi. Hey. There's a whole room full of us here, and we're really hoping that you can help us solve kind of a little mystery that's going on. Okay. Because the other day, you went out on a date with one of our listeners named Adam. Oh. Oh, God. Uh-oh.

Oh, God. What are you doing? Did he tell you about it? I, what is this? He did tell us. Yeah. This is called a second date update. So, the details that we heard were that you met up for some pizza and beer at this patio thing. Yeah.

And that you asked him to fix your laptop. And he was so earnest. Like, he just is real hopeful that you really were interested in him. He sounds really nice and kind. So it would really help him get some closure because he's been really bothered by what happened. He hasn't heard from you at all since then. Right. And you just like left um

i don't really want to say but if i'm being a hundred percent honest i got food poisoning really oh my god come on was right get out of here come on you predicted that you're saying literally within two bites of a food, you get food poisoning. She ate the whole pizza. Yeah, I'm serious, actually. We just went out two days ago. Oh, that's pretty quick. Okay.

I literally have been in bed since then. And yeah, I kind of ate a lot of pizza. So I was feeling sick from that. Hold on. Are you just saying this because jeffrey said i mean like you opened it up jeffrey you said well what happened sounded kind of sketchy like i understand if you're defensive right now but were you just looking for somebody to fix your laptop oh that was an excuse she had ready um i know it sounds like i'm lying and honestly if i heard him describe the date i'm sure it would sound like i

scammed him or something but i'm not lying i but here's the here's here's the thing like you didn't even thank him for fixing your laptop you didn't yeah the bringing the laptop to the date was the part that was a little bit strange it's weird i don't bring my laptop a lot of places i was coming home from work so i had my laptop with me. On Sunday morning? Yeah, I work on weekends. Oh. Okay, so we're not used to that. She works overnights on Sundays. On her laptop.

Yeah, people have different work schedules. Yeah, Jeff. Okay. What else, Jessica? Well, so yeah, I was coming from work. I had my laptop with me. We were chatting. I told him that I lost a bunch of work materials suddenly, and I didn I was coming from work. I had my laptop with me. We were chatting. I told him that I lost a bunch of work materials suddenly,

and I didn't know what was up. And he offered to help. He was very nice. He was very selfless. And I actually would like to see him again. Oh, you would? I would. This is a big relief to us,

but it's probably especially a huge relief to Adam, who I need to tell you, Jessica, has been listening on the other line this entire time. Hey. I just want everybody to know that I told you I didn't think it was a scam, and I'm just glad

that it's not a scam. You believe all of this? You got it, bro. Oh, you were right. Don't listen to the haters, man. Brooke, you need to let up on her a little bit. Yeah, Brooke. Don't you feel bad? I don't.

Don't you? You don't feel guilty at all? Jessica, it's just still hard to believe. You know, hang on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, Brooke. Hang on there. All right? Take it easy. You're feeling a lot of negativity over there.

And we don't need that kind of negativity over the airwaves. That's pretty par for the course. And she's laughing and snoring. I think it's sweet. You know what? If you like it, Adam, and that's the excuse that you like, then Jessica, that's great, right? If you like it, if you're into that.

Very patronizing, Brooke. I mean, someone's going to fall for the scam. Yeah, look, Jessica, I don't normally throw my co-host under the bus on this show she was 100 certain that you were a terrible person looking to take advantage of a nice man for his kindness kind of a close one to no one sort of situation she recognized evil right away that was what she said you know what what? It's people like you, actually, who make rushed judgments like that that make the world a worse place. Okay.

Yeah. 100% preach, Jessica. So does that check out for you, Adam, that she works till Sunday around the clock? Yeah, I am. Do you hear her laughing at you while she talks to you? She got off work at 7 a.m. and went right to the day of work. But her work laptop doesn't have a work IT to help fix her work laptop. I didn't think of that.

Adam, can you believe that you called into this group of people for help and now they're bashing you and your potential future wife? No, I'm asking if... The opposite of Cupid, because that's Brooke and Alexis. Adam, Adam, Adam, I'm asking if that all checks out for you. You know what doesn't check out for me is the shame that you're bringing to this show right now. See?

Well said, Adam. This is why I can't stand up for men. I'm trying to protect you, Adam, to shield you from me taking advantage again. By calling his woman a terrible person? I am a good person, and he is a good person, and I don't know who made you like this, but you cannot stop us from being together.

Who made you like this? Do you know what? You have sweet parents. How did you turn out like this? But you cannot stop us from being together. Who made you like this? Do you know what? You have sweet parents. How did you turn out like this? That means you're so excited for the next date, right? She said that. Yeah, you know what? I am excited about it, as long as you're not involved in it.

Oh, see? Well, in that case, let's really rub it in Brooke's face and send the two of you out on a second date. You guys can take a photo together, and we'll post it on the Brooke and Jeffrey website. Over Brooke's face on the website. Over Brooke's face. She hates love.

Notoriously not a fan of couples getting together. What are you talking about? And honesty, apparently. She hates honesty, too. What do you say, Jessica? Let's stick it to Brooke. Say yes. Yes.

I feel like you guys are going to end up in a 30-year marriage just to spite me. As long as Adam also agrees to go on this date. Adam, you still in? Absolutely. Oh my gosh. I mean, sometimes all it takes is a common enemy and if that's what I need to be... Brooke and

Jeffrey in the morning. That was quite the contentious phone call from months ago. I cannot believe they actually want to be on the show again. Yeah. To be honest. Like, I'm still here. Do they know? It's true.

Adam, Jessica are both back to give us an update. How are you guys doing? Hi. We're good. We're good. It's going, honestly, very well. Really? I can hear her smile.

Brooke, don't say it so skeptically. Well, I was just wondering if she was talking about her computer issues or her relationship. Okay. Is Adam there? I'm kidding. Adam, are you there? Yeah, yeah, I'm here. Okay, good.

Just wanted to make sure. So is Brooke right? Is she happy because her computer runs well? Well, I know Brooke is not going to like to hear this, but we are still going very strong and we are very happy. I actually love it. I think it's darling. You don't have to roll your eyes when you say that. People can't see that, Jeffrey.

You don't need to call me out. Jessica, you sound really happy. Adam, how are you feeling about it? Honestly, it's been great. This relationship is awesome. I feel like I finally found the right person for me. That's really sweet. This relationship is awesome. I feel like I finally found the right person for me. Aww. That's so sweet.

And I just, I feel super appreciated. All of her friends and family come to me with all their tech issues. See that? That's awesome. I help everybody out and I feel like I am doing the best. Adam, people worried about you on the text board. They want to know if you feel like taking advantage of ever in your relationship. That's his love language. His love language is IT.

That's a new one. The secret sixth love language. I mean, it's true. No, it's true. You can joke all you want, but he's my best boyfriend and haters are going to hate, but we know the truth. You don't need to talk specifically to me.

I'm not hating anymore. I was just worried about him. As long as it works for both of you. So it sounds like you guys are getting pretty serious then. Yeah, I will say next month we are launching a computer repair company together. Is it called

Love Bites, but like B-Y-T-E-S Get it That's a great idea Hey you're winning them back Brooke Yeah Brooke wants to invest now In your company Actually she's gonna buy you out
