You've heard the stat that 50% of relationships end in divorce. Oof, yeah. Well, on our show, 50% of people who go out on second dates never return our emails. I would say it's higher.

Actually, it's more like 95% don't answer. But hey, there is one couple who did. They went on a virtual date that even had a special theme for the night. Things definitely got weird. Not just that evening, but over the phone with us too. But today, they're back with an update on their situation. We're going to play their original call first and then afterwards talk to the couple to find out what's new in a second date update update. That's coming up next.

Second date update. What counts as dating right now? I think that's a fair question. Like if you only see each other between the hours of 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. and you're never sober for that. Is that dating? It's not dating. No. Well, that's how I used to date. that. Is that dating? It's not dating.

Well, that's how I used to date. I thought that was dating. It's not dating, Jeff. It doesn't work. If you've only bought used socks from them online, is that dating? Oh, I would like that. A lot of boyfriends in that case. In some circles, I think that might qualify. And one of our listeners emailed us because she isn't sure

if her hangout should be considered worthy of a second date update okay she said she was hoping that we would do it well we have low standards so i'm sure we will she's actually lucky that the first four people that we tried calling this morning didn't answer so yes because of that nicole you are worthy of a second date. Welcome to the show. Thanks, everyone. I like our 3 a.m. hookup. All right, we'll call her, I guess. She likes being the last resort.

Nicole, we look forward to helping you, even if you've only bought someone socks recently. I'm sure that's not the case. Well, I'm going to stop guessing. Why don't you just start telling us what's going on, Nicole? Who are we trying to call today? We're trying to call Evan. I wasn't sure if you'd answer because it was actually, we had a virtual date, not an in-person date. Oh, I think that counts more than like a 3 a.m. hookup as a date. I mean, it's thoughtful. It's planned out, right? Yeah, I don't mind a virtual date. I actually prefer it. You know,

when you meet people online, there's a lot of buildup and then you meet up in person and sometimes it's really awkward. Like they don't look like their picture and they have no personality and then you're stuck. Is that why you chose to do a virtual date? Because you've had such a bad run with online dating? Or because you can start a virtual date with no pants and no one would know. That usually makes a date go better even in person, Jeff. A little bit of both. I'm just so exhausted of doing any sort of video

chatting at all, but it sounds like you can talk a lot. It sounds like it'd be good for you. I think she meant that as a compliment, by the way, Nicole. I did. Is there any nerves going into a virtual date? No, I do have nerves. I was a little nervous because he had a

really fun date planned. So Evan said that we should meet up online and do a virtual burrito date, which I thought was really cute. I'm intrigued. What does that mean? It sounds messy. No, and it wasn't messy because his idea was that we would buy

three different frozen burritos, the same ones, and then we would try them together on Zoom, which I thought was really cute. You were making burritos, but you kind of are. I kind of like the find the best frozen burrito angle. It's not a bad angle. We all know the brand. Well, we don't know the name

of it, but it's that orange one. That one. Or the purple one. Let's try and focus on the date and not the food on the day how did your frozen burrito date go it was really fun we both thought the bean and cheese was the best we had a greeting system it was a one to ten like in the olympics like we wrote it down and held up a little sign so we could both see it a scale of one to 10, how sexy did Evan look eating his burrito? I'm saying 10. Okay.

Really? Good call. You know 10's the highest, right? Yeah. Not the other way. Hot burrito boy. All right. So how do you end a burrito date? You got to go to the bathroom.

A sprint to the toilet? No, luckily. How does it end? You know, we finished our burritos. We were just hanging out and talking. You know, we broke the ice. And I just was told that I was taking bass guitar lessons, which is something really fun.

But he asked me to play a little bit. So I played a little bit of my songs. But it's so awkward. Like, what does he do? Just sit there in the class? But he asked for it. I guess. He gets his lighter out and, like, plays it for the whole thing?

I mean, you only played one song, right? You didn't give him a whole... A full concert? A full set. I mean, I played like bits of different songs. I see, I see.

And we're talking like real songs, not like Old MacDonald or something? Yeah, that's fine too. No, like Another One Bites the Dust. Nah, I see.

Or like Journey's Love and Touch and Squeeze In. Good stuff. That's cool. And that's impressive. Even if you're not good at it, at least you love music and you're showing your passion. But you're worried that it like turned him off did his mood change or something after you're

done with your bass playing i didn't think so i i thought it was fun we just kind of like chatted a little bit more and then it kind of came to its own end we said goodbye and uh i messaged him about going on a real date yeah and he didn't seem as interested anymore as before we met virtually. Like he stopped messaging me back that much. And I started to think about, you know, like all the things that I worry about with a, with a online date or virtual date. I was like, do I not look like my picture?

And I started, I asked my roommates. So I don't know why he's kind of faded out. It sounds like you covered a lot of bases there. Nicole, do you have your bass guitar with you right now? It's in the other room, but it's here. Do you think maybe we could get a sample of your bass guitar playing just so that we know? This is research so that we know what we were working with. It makes me so uncomfortable people playing music.

That's just because you have no rhythm and can't dance. I mean, I'd have to get my amp and get it set up, but I could. That's good because we actually have to play a song. So we're going to leave. We'll come back. And then you can play a song. When we do your second date update right after this, okay?

Alright. 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. I'm purposely bumping into this segment without any music. Yes. Because we got our own in-house band today.

Yes. I have never been so excited about the second part for this moment alone. One person, our listener, Nicole, who we've been talking to about her dating life. We're going to get to that in just a second. But she's an up-and-coming bass player. Nicole, we asked for a little demonstration because you play a little bit of bass on your date. So what are we going to be hearing today? I'm telling you, I just started this month.

This is another one by the dust. Okay. Before you get that, I'm going to introduce you. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage for your listening pleasure, Nicole and the Finger Flicks. Finger Flicks. Take it away, Nicole. That would get her a second date, I think.

Oh, my God. Okay. She's sweating. It's disgusting. Oh, I hear you. Oh, boy. all right now we've heard the youtube version now play it yourself that was really good i mean honestly that was way better than i was expecting you to do after just one month of lessons. That was legit. And so if you're just joining us and you don't know why Nicole played, it's because during her virtual date with a guy named Evan, she played the bass guitar to show him what she's

been doing along with tasting some frozen burritos with him. But after that, she's been having a hard time organizing an in-person meetup. So we're going to call Evan and ask what's going on. That is if you didn't die from embarrassment just now, Nicole. Did we embarrass you? I just hear you in the background kind of like laugh moaning or something. I'm still breathing. I'm still breathing.

You're still breathing. Okay. Okay, here we go. Take a deep breath. Yeah, we're going to dial Evan's phone number. We're going to try and get you a second date. I just hope that another one doesn't bite the dust. Oh, but I hope.

Yeah, I'm dialing his number right now. You made the joke. Let's do it. Hello? Hey, is this Evan? Yeah. Cool. Yeah.

Okay. Hi, Evan. My name's Jeff from the radio show, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We're hoping to talk with you a little bit about your dating life. Okay. Well, I'm not interested. So could you take me off your list?

No. You're not on our list. No, we're not like spammers like that. No. Yeah. It's not us. It's actually somebody that you went on a date with who's asked us to call you. Her name is Nicole.

Oh, so this is a real call then. Yes. Yeah. Just dial one to sign up. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. That was funny, Jose. I'm kidding.

So what's going on? This is called a second date update. And Nicole reached out to us because she told us that you guys went on a virtual date together and she's been trying to hang out in person. But she's confused why that isn't happening yet. Yeah, well, to be honest, I don't think an in-person date is going to happen. Really?

Thank you. Oh, that's too bad. I mean, she seems so fun-loving, and your date sounded awesome. She told us that you put together a, what would we call it together a burrito battle. No, but I love that. Yeah, we had burritos.

It was fun. It was a fun date, don't get me wrong. If I must get into it, Nicole is a liar. That's heavy. About what? I found out that she lied to me about her age.

Oh. Oh, dang, bro. I mean, is that a big deal to you? Yeah, how much? She told me she was 29, but I found out that she was actually 30. Wait. That's what? A year?

Is that a joke? Yeah, he's kidding. No, that's a red flag to me. Like, what a stupid thing to lie about, especially by one year. That's true. But who cares? It's one year. But why?

What does that mean to you, Evan? Why is it such a big deal that she's one year off? Well, if she's lying about that, what else could she be lying about? Maybe she made her profile when she was 29 and she just never updated the age. It has your birthday. It updates it. It auto-updates. Yeah.

Okay. I don't know. If you're that concerned about it, Evan, then you should have asked her. Yeah, but this was after our date and I wasn't going to just text her about that. You're just going to move on? Well, are you okay if I ask her that question? Because Nicole's actually on the line and she's been listening this entire time and I'd be happy to do that for you. Oh, great. Oh yeah. Here she is. Nicole, is it true? Did you lie about your age to Evan? Um, I wasn't like lying directly to Evan. It's not that big of a

deal on my dating profile. I said, yeah, I'm 29. It it's one year it really bothers you like one year it's just really weird like why why one year like I see if you lied by like five years I almost would respect that more I mean who wants a 35 year old really honestly like okay wow I would be actually more upset if like I met someone and they were like 40 instead of 30 that's a big difference this is one year and I really feel weird that i have to explain this but i was on other dating websites and i found that if you say you're in your 20s you get way more matches so it was just a way to just maybe broaden the field and get to meet more people so you were just trying to optimize your matches by going down one year and staying in your 20s.

Evan, what do you think? Is that a reasonable excuse for you? I mean, I buy it, but I still feel weird about it. How old are you, Evan? 31. Oh. Okay. I thought it was going to be something like, I don't date women in their 30s because I'm 23 or something.

No, it's just the moral of lying. If she would have told you she was 30, you would have been cool. Yeah, I don't know. It seems like she's gaming the system a little bit. Isn't that what dating apps are for, though? Yeah, you obviously had your range set that you like 20-year-olds, like people in their 20s. And, you know, Evan, I'll just say on your profile,

you said that you were athletic and fit for your build and that question. And I don't know. You look a little more average to me. Oh, wow. Who's lying now? That's the worst lie. First of all, I was sitting down for the entirety of the thing. I think I look way better standing up. Obviously, Nicole's

feelings are a little hurt, Evan, because it just seems like a pretty superficial reason not to call her back. It sounds like if you would have just asked her her age, she would have told you. Yeah, I guess so. And I accept her reasoning to be honest. Okay. You know, it's okay. Honestly, this is probably

good because if that's going to bother you and you're going to not call me back or even talk to me about it, it probably is better that we don't see each other again. Spoken like a true 30-year-old right there. Sounds like he was just getting over it, though. Wait, wait, wait. Butoken like a true 30-year-old right there. Sounds like he was just getting over it, though. Wait, wait, wait.

But now that I've heard your reasoning, like, I'm into it. Let's not give up on this just like that. Oh, all right. No, you called me a liar. The first thing you said about me on this call was I'm a liar. No, thanks. But you did lie. Okay.

He's not 100% wrong on it. Oh, man. This is, like, such a little thing, guys. I know, but it's like they're already in their first fight, and they haven't even met in real life yet. Yeah, she is kind of going towards her midlife, though, Brooke. This is a crisis. But I'm still willing to offer to send you guys out on another date.

And Evan, it sounds like up to this point, you were into it. Yeah, I mean, maybe I jumped to conclusions too quickly, and I probably should have just asked. But I'm into it. But if she's not, then I get it. Okay, well, Nicole, he admits that he made a mistake. Which is a huge thing right now. Like, to find a person who could admit they were wrong and learn from it,

like, that is a good quality to have. So can we meet in the middle here and go out just one more time and we'll pay for it? Come on. Think of the burritos. I can prove that I have an athletic build. Yeah. There we go.

He took a shot. Now he took a little shot at his ego. And maybe what would do it is if he's honest with you right now and he tells you what he really thinks about your bass playing. It was pretty solid for someone who's only been doing it a month.

See? I think she could have done a better call than that. But it was honest. It was honest. It wasn't over the top, like glowing with you. It wasn't horrible. It was like, it's pretty good. I would like to hear more.

All right. Come on, Nicole. Come on. All right, fine. Stop yelling at me. Fine. Let's go. We coer fine. Stop yelling at me. Fine. Yay! Let's go! We coerced her into a second date.

Nicole, to celebrate, do you want to play a little bit of bass guitar on the way out? Yeah! I'm like, I don't know. I'm trying to think of what else. No, maybe not. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Making their glorious return to our show a few months later

we have evan and nicole once again back to give us an update welcome back guys yeah hey everybody you both still sound friendly which is a good sign i just want to first of all clear the air a bit um after that second date the infamous infamous second date aired, I got a lot of heat, actually, from my friends and family. Really? About lying about being 29 on your dating profile? Yes. Wow. But, you know, when we did the call, I didn't know what Evan was going to say when we got him on the phone.

And, yes, he called me a liar because i am actually older than what my profile said what i said on my profile i i panicked you know it's a lot to have someone call you a liar on the radio so i went with what he said yes i i said i was 30 but the truth is i'm not 30 what the whole thing was based on how it was only one year it It didn't really matter. Yeah. How old are you? I am 34. Oh. That's still not that big of a difference. I know, but it is when you say, okay, you're right, I'm 30.

And then you come back out, next time we're going to college, she's going to be 50. Why didn't you come clean and just say that to us? Well, I was worried that if I, you know, admitted that I was actually 34, I'd come off even more desperate

or pathetic or whatever, because he was already really mad at me for being 30. And Evan, how did you take that? Not as bad as I did the first time, weirdly. Oh, okay. It was pretty bad. He was conditioned. I could say any age at this point.

Well, she opened with it, which I appreciated. And I get it. She was on the radio. There was a lot of pressure. So I totally understood why she did what she did. Are you dating an older woman then right now? I am dating a cougar right now.

Oh my god. It's nice when one of these actually turns out good. We did. Congratulations, guys. And remember, you can always email the show. We'll call the person who isn't calling you back. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Ugh, we're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you.
