Listen to The Daily Show Ears Edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Second Date Update. We talk a lot about how hard it is in the dating world right now. Yeah. Especially for guys to just get a pretty girl to agree to a date.

Yeah. But when we're ugly, it's harder. You know something we rarely talk about? What? That could be even more difficult? What's that? Is successfully locking down that second date all on your own. Oh, yeah.

Because maybe you just got lucky on the first one. She was feeling hungry that night and just needed a free meal. That's true. She was bored and was willing to lower her standards just for a funny story to laugh about with all of her hot, judgmental friends. Do it for the plot. Yeah, that's me. Yeah, do it for the plot! Yeah, that's me! Yeah, do it for the plot, right?

That's it. One of our listeners told us that over the last year, he's been mixing it up in the dating pool, trying all sorts of ways to secure himself that second date. But his latest foolproof plan doesn't seem to be working anymore, which is why he's on the phone with us right now. Makes him the fool of the foolproof plan, it sounds like. Okay, well, Jared, Brooke has already called you a fool

before you've even said a word. Congratulations. What's up, guys? That's not what I meant. Come on, buddy. What did you mean? I didn't mean fool.

I meant idiot. I just mean if you call it foolproof and it doesn't work, there's only one part that ends up true in that statement. No, I get that.

Yeah. Welcome to the show, man. How you doing? Doing good, man. How you guys doing all right you got positive attitude still that's a good thing so your email says that you're going out on a lot of dates and you're trying these strategies to make sure that you can secure another one what are you doing yeah it'd be like so frustrating trying to get like a second date

like but have a good first one and then as soon as i start talking about the second one then a lot of times i just get ghosted. And I was like, OK, well, at the end of the first day, I'd like shake on it. It's like good eye contact. Hey, we're going to meet. Let's do a second date. Like a business contract. Right.

Well, I'm just like trying to get that genuine vibe going, you know? OK. That's OK. This was working. Well, Alexis, you don't like the business handshake at the end of a date? Um, no. I don't like business handshakes ever, period. What if he changed it to a pinky swear?

Would you be more into that? Slightly better. Yeah. Maybe some rock, paper, scissors if we go out again. What about a mouth kiss to lock in that second date? That doesn't lock in anything. Oh. Well, you can lock the tongues. It locks the lips.

Maybe not. For a second. I don't know. Yeah. I'm not doing this. Actually, it's funny that you mentioned pinky promise because that's what I went with

because that's sacred, you know? Oh, really? You did? I was like, yo, pinky promise,

but I'm like playful with it, you know? Okay, good. Okay, good. Is the pinky promise working better

than the handshake? What's our like percentage of success right here? Yeah, so I've tried it three times. Even one of them actually turned into

a pretty like decent relationship. Okay, so that's why you're confused why it didn't work because it worked tried it three times. Even one of them actually turned into a pretty decent relationship. Okay, so that's why you're confused why it didn't work, because it worked the first three times. I see. She's the only one who did not do it. So who's this girl who's bucking the trends? What's her name? Her name's Mona.

Okay. Okay. Tell us about the date, because that could give us some clues for how this went. Did you guys go to P.F. Chang's? Why are you so specific? Or boo maybe because those are my parents like to take me when we do our pinky promise yeah no boo no boo like that fancy fancy sushi place yeah that's awesome uh-huh yeah you've probably never been your parents take you to like what denny's or something yeah no the missouri mule sometimes even Yeah Wow Where did you go

For your date Jared? Yeah so we went to this This go-kart place Oh that's so fun I love go-karts For a date Is this like chill go-karts Or like the ones

Where you have to wear a helmet Because they go so fast And a full suit Yeah It was more like The high octane When it had like Windy tracks and stuff

Yeah Okay Yeah that's awesome Wow that's a fun date because it's a little competitive you're all trying something new you got some adrenaline going were you super competitive with her is that maybe an issue no i try to like lighten it up i was like yo we should do a shot for every lap we do i was kidding but i would have done it just i was just trying to see what she would say you know i think they frowned upon drinking even at the go-kart place. How many laps do you do? A lot?

No, yeah, we did a lot. 20 shots, alcohol poisoning. That's what I was trying to figure out. How did she react to your joke? She was like, oh, I don't think they let us do that. She just kind of laughed it off. Which is what the point was, right? But she would have been down, it sounds like.

Did you guys squeeze in dinner or drinks after the go-karts, or she would have been down, it sounds like. Did you guys squeeze in dinner or drinks after the go-karts or was the go-karts it? No, we did go-karts and then afterwards we did some hamburgers and milkshakes.

Cute. And we were there for like an hour and then headed out. Okay. Did this pinky swear feel different than the other pinky swears?

Like, did you notice if she was crossing her fingers with the other hand while she did it? That's important. No, I didn't notice anything like that. So like I said, pinky swears like did you notice if she was crossing her fingers with the other hand while she did it that's important no i didn't notice anything like that so like i said i'm kind of confused it seemed from my i thought we had a good time okay and so you pinky promised to see each other again she has not followed through on the promise so the real question is when we call her

now should we do double pinky promises to really lock it in? We call the police right now and arrest her for breaking the contract. Obviously, we have to cut her pinky off. That's the whole point of a pinky promise. Oh, okay. So we just got to let her know. Say adios. Was it right hand or left hand? That's right.

I forgot about the rules of pinky promising. So we're going to go get our machetes ready. We'll sharpen them up, and then we'll come back, and we'll call Mona for you. Cool? No, no. Yeah, that's cool. But, yeah, that's not like a real thing, though. They only cut off your pinky finger for the promise, right?

They don't do that. No, on this show, we do. I've never broken a pinky promise before. Yeah. We take it very, very seriously, Jared. Oh, man, you're losing a limb. Mona's going to go out with you, or she's going to pay the price. We're going to come back and find out with your second date update right after this.

Hold on. Second date update. You're in the out with your second date update right after this. 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. Oh, the pinky promise. It's a sacred ritual that dates back hundreds if not thousands of

years. That's right. All the greatest rulers in history have used it to achieve victory. Julius Caesar did it. Genghis Khan. Joey Chestnut. Even Pinky swore right before he downed 68 and a half hot dogs at Coney Island

to take home the crown. 69 glizzies, man. It's beautiful. But recently somebody broke the eternal bonding promise of the Pinky. Jared's date, Mona. Because she promised that she would see him again after they went go-karting together. But clearly the power of the pinky means nothing to her. And today, we want some answers on Jared's behalf.

I want some blood, Jeff. Good. Take that pinky off. Brooke, will you pinky promise that you'll give the man a chance this time and not turn on him the instant another female's on the phone? You know, I don't like to make promises I can't keep. So I'm going to go with maybe. Okay.

Jared, we got a maybe. Brooke will be on your side in this. Okay, cool, guys. Yeah, cool. I just don't know what else he's done. You know, I got to hear both sides of the story. One side right now, I'm all for Jared. All on his side. Oh, okay. I'm like saying yes

to the terms and conditions without even reading it. Yeah, that sounds like you, Jared. That sounds like you. Jared is right. No matter what this woman has to say. Alright, Jared, let's call her. Here we go. I don't even know what you guys are talking about, but yeah, let's do it. Good observation, Jared. Glad you could keep up.

Thank you for your contribution. let's call this woman hello hi is this mona um yeah this is she who's speaking aren't you friendly friendly uh the person who is speaking right now Is the lead host of a radio show Called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning Why did my other host laugh When I said that That's my title Hi Mona Hi

That's your other lead host I'm the sidekick We're all co-hosts Together on brooke and jeffrey in the morning and we're doing a segment right now called a second date update have you ever heard a lot of people yeah we're trying to do something where we're helping one of our listeners to get a second date with you because he had such a nice time when you hung out originally his name's jared um yeah okay why'd you laugh okay sounds like jared planned an awesome date for you bulls what does uh mean um i guess like did he tell you that we had gone go-karting we heard about most of the date from jared and the highlights were

go-karts there were burgers and milkshakes. And then at the very end, this is kind of controversial, you pinky promised him that you would see him a second time. I was bringing it out right at the beginning. Well, I mean, you're kind of a liar. Oh. You haven't seen him, and we're trying to figure out why. Well, I don't know if we can count that pinky promise because I kind of like, I had to kind of maneuver myself out of it because...

What? Why? Oh. Well, it was like he hooked the pinky, but then he also like pulled me in and tries to go in for a kiss. Yeah, the thumb kiss that everyone does. Thank you. I think he meant a kiss kiss.

A kiss on the hand or a kiss on the mouth? I was going for the thumb kiss that everyone does. Thank you. I think he meant a kiss kiss. A kiss on the hand or a kiss on the mouth? Oh, I was going for the thumb kiss. Right on the mouth. Oh, my God. That's not what I was talking about. I'm sorry. Wait, did he misread the moment? Because it sounds like kind of a cute moment for a first kiss.

Could be. I mean, it was cute, but maybe just a little cringe because I was like, is that your move? Is that what you do? Did you kiss him or did you not kiss him? He didn't tell us. I had to swerve or curve. Wait, though, is it because you don't kiss on a first date

or is it because you don't want to kiss him? Well, I think the bigger ick was a little bit before that, so I think it was insult to injury. He wasn't going to get a kiss no matter what at that point. I don't think so. What was a bigger ick?

Okay, so I know how this will sound. I'm not a mean or shallow person, like I promise. Oh, here we go. Okay. We believe you. We were go-karting, right? So we had like the full get-up and everything

and it's just like, Jared just looked really kind of dumb like the whole time. In the jumpsuit, I could see that. Everyone looked silly. Yeah, it was kind of a big turnoff. You got the ink. It happens all the time for all the reasons. I don't think that's shallow. I just think that it's literally one thing can happen and you just look at someone a completely different

But what about you? I mean, I'm sure that you didn't look like perfect in your go-kart helmet. Just like to be fair. It's a little hard but I took the time to kind of adjust it right. Like you can fit it properly. I put my hair in a way that it would pop out kind of cute. I mean

it's something you couldn't get over though. You can't unsee it. Like, you shouldn't see him in a go-kart helmet that often after this. Right. You know? It looms so big in my mind. And so, yeah, I know. I feel bad because he's been texting.

And I guess I did pinky promise. But it's just, ah. So, basically, you look super cute in your racing helmet, and he looks super stupid in it. So he is not boyfriend material for that reason. No, he's not second date material. We haven't gotten to that yet, Jeff. That's a long way down the road. It's a little harsh to my ears, but my ears aren't the ones that matter.

Really, Jared is the one who's probably going through it the most because he's on the other line right now listening to this conversation no oh my gosh no oh my gosh she feels bad i'm sorry that's not nice what you said wasn't very nice but uh let's hear jared what he looks ugly in a helmet what am i supposed to say no She didn't say ugly. She said stupid. Okay. Big difference. Jared, are you there? Are you serious? I look dumb in a go-kart helmet, and that's why? Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

We're riding go-karts. Everybody looks stupid and like an idiot riding a go-kart. Nobody looks cool riding a go-kart. Some more than others. I mean, do you think you were pulling it off? I didn't care how I looked. I was excited to get on the go-kart and go around and do laps. It's not like this is the Daytona

500. I don't have to look, you know, cool. Okay, I know. You actually would look pretty cool if you were in the Daytona 500. It's a pretty hot look. I think the point is you found a guy who's willing to look dumb and do fun things. That's really what you want in a partner.

And he's presumably not going to be wearing a helmet the whole time that you guys date. Which is what Alexis said. When I took off the helmet, did I look good or what? Oh. I mean, the image has been burned into my brain. It's like forever associated. I'm sorry. Well, we'd love to get the opportunity to burn a brand new image into your brain with no helmet on his head because we're going to offer to send you on another date and we'd pay for it.

And you pinky promise. That's sacred. Oh, that is true. You should give him another chance. He's a funny guy. Don't unleash the wrath of the pinky gods on yourself. Say yes to the second date. I feel bad, Jared.

I mean, if your ego isn't bruised that badly, I mean. You're still laughing. Jared, tell her why she should say yes. Because, you know, besides me looking dumb in a helmet, we had a good time. Even after we had milkshakes and burgers, you were laughing and having fun. We had a good time, you know? Yes, I was there. My mind was taken off of the helmet for a little moment,

so I think maybe it could happen again. Okay. Okay. That's a yes, then. Yay! Yes, it's a yes. Got it. Yeah, That's a yes then. Yay! Yes, it's a yes. Got it. Yeah, that's what I thought.

Pinky promise has been restored. We can put the machete away. All right, and make sure you burn any headgear that you own right now, okay, Jared? You can't be seen in that. Like not even a headband, bro. He's like concussions, it doesn't matter anymore. Now I'm going to wear a cowboy hat. That's a bold choice. Oh, I don't know if you

can pull that off. All right. No country bars. Good luck. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Can you get over the first date? Ick. Mona said she'd give it a try. And now she and Jared are back for a second date. Update. Update. Welcome back to the show, you two. Hi. Hey, what's up, guys? Can't wait to hear how many icks you've had since the first date. Mona, how does it feel to be one of our rare second date success stories on this show? It's not that rare.

Wow. Wait, you guys are together, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Y'all want to hear about it? Yes, please. Tell us. I'll be honest. When y'all set us hear about it yes please tell us i'll be honest when y'all set us up for the second date i didn't really take it too seriously i pretty much thought

like let's just get the second date over with but then something kind of funny happened what what's funny okay so like this is according to him okay so our first date was on land so he wanted our second date to be in water. Wow. Don't tell me he wore goggles. It's gonna be a... Well, okay, yeah. So our second date was scuba diving

lesson. Oh, it really was. Oh, yeah, man. Flippers and everything. Hot. I gotta say, can I just give it up to Jared right now? Like, he got blasted for wearing a helmet, and then he was willing to get into a bathing suit for the second date. Jared, did you think about that? Jared, you have so much confidence, and I love you for it.

Well, no, it really worked in his favor because that scuba outfit was really working for me. Oh. Really? He was really cool in it. Like, kind of like, I don't know, like seal team six or something. I was picturing Scuba Steve from Big Daddy, but yeah.

Sweet. So now it's been a while that you guys have been together. Yeah, where are you guys at in your relationship? What's third date space? No, we're doing great. We're exclusive. We really hit it off. I'm really happy.

Oh. That's cute. I feel like I'm going to see guys in scuba outfits now on TV. It's going to start trending. Not even in the water. Just like going into like Applebee's with like the regulator. Watch Jeff's show up in studio tomorrow. Just like, what's up, guys?

Oh, what? Checking date update coming up right after this. I love it. Well, keep us updated on your relationship, guys. This is awesome. Congrats. Oh, sure. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
