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.

Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.

One of our listeners, Chris, says his first date got derailed before it even started. Oh. Just like most of the segments on this show. I was going to say, that's something we're used to. I feel for you, Chris. I have been there. In fact, I'm there right now. That's good. Stay in the present, Jeff. Chris, do you feel this segment tanking

as we speak? I think we can get it back on track. Okay, well, my co-host's faces say different. You're a lot more hopeful and optimistic than we are, Chris. But tell us about the girl that you were supposed to go out with. What's her name?

Yeah, sure. Her name's Kayla. Okay. We met at a dating app. We met online. How long did you guys chat before you actually met up? Like two or three weeks. So, you know, I guess a decent amount of time.

We got to know each other at least a little bit. Is that the normal amount of time that you guys do? Two or three weeks before you meet up? Yeah, I try to meet up as soon as possible so I don't waste my time texting. Oh, you're more two to three minutes. She's hours. Gotcha. For a solid connection, though, you want to make sure it's two, three weeks. If you're just hooking up like Alexis, yeah.

Okay, fair. So you actually like her, it sounds like. Yeah, yeah. It was one of those apps where we were trying to date, not just get down to it. Gotcha. Okay, all right. Yeah, yeah. It was one of those apps where we were trying to date, not just get down to it. Gotcha. Okay. All right. Good, good. And so, I mean, the conversation leading up sounds like obviously it was good. Yeah, yeah.

It was good. She's super cute. Like, first, just saw her pictures. She had, like, freckles. She was wearing, like, all these cute, like, old band T-shirts that she sort of, like, cut up. Sweet. Whatever. My type.

Sounds odd. Okay. And you're not one of those guys that sees, like, a girl wearing, like, a Rolling Stones shirt or Ramones and is like, name three songs. I bet you're not a true fan. No. Okay. I was like, you're not even in Nirvana.

Yeah. Well, tell us about the date and how it got derailed. Well, all right. So we scheduled that I was actually going to pick her up for our first date. Oh, man. She definitely trusts you then. So, yeah. So I got there, like, I'm a pretty punctual person.

I got there, ended up being, like, 20 minutes early. Okay. Oh, wow. Okay. So I was like, I'll go up, I'll knock on the door, like, see what's going on or whatever. Ooh, I don't know. 20 minutes early for a date is really early. Yeah.

Yeah. Like, I'm not going to be ready. No, exactly. Okay. And then it's, like, awkward because you have to answer the door if you're knocking on the door. It's, like, different if you send a text and you're like, yo, I'm here. I'll just wait for you until you're ready. Let me know.

Yeah, I thought about doing it. And I was like, oh, I'm going to be a gentleman. I'll just walk up to the door instead of using a cell phone about it. Okay. But it got way weirder, though. Okay. So I go up, and the door was actually, like, cracked open. So I sort of nudged it open just a little bit to give like a, hey, you know, I'm here.

And as I nudged it open, 20-ish people jumped out and screamed surprise. What? So, yeah, exactly. I'm really confused. Were you at the wrong house? No. So it turns out her friends were throwing her a surprise party a week before her birthday. Wow. Oh.

I guess that's smart. They were throwing her off a scent by doing it a week early. Well, what do you do? Do you stay for the party or do you just leave? Well, she's obviously not even there yet. If they're all waiting for her, right? Yeah. Yeah, she wasn't.

She was not there yet. Oh, that's so awkward. Yeah. So I, you know i you know they didn't like ask me a lot of questions they just sort of were like get in get in you know she's on her way here yeah i didn't like fully have time to make the decision of like okay so then you're just like put in with the crowd of people and you're now waiting to surprise her for her party with a group of people i've never met that's hysterical so what happened when she came into the door so she comes in the door everyone jumps out yells surprise you know she's like looking around obviously very surprised and then sees me in the middle of it and she looks even more surprised probably not how you envisioned

your first date that's so's so funny, though. It is. Was it a great party? Did you have a great, did she have a great time? Yeah, she seemed to have a really great time. I mean, you know, I talked to people a pretty decent amount. Like, I hung out with her dog for a while. It was fun.

I'm a big dog fan. I mean, the date went great. It's kind of fun. Is that great? I have a weird feeling about it. Really? Why? I think it going great. It's kind of the dog the whole time. Isn't it fun? Is that great? I have a weird feeling about it. Really? Why? I think it sounds great.

I mean, I'd rather do that than like an awkward dinner date with someone. Totally. Like you're with friends. You guys are all drinking and the mood is super high. But you're with their friends and they're all hanging out with each other and he's over on the couch just sitting with the dog. No, but here's the thing. If you can find a person who can hold their hone in a party,

it is so attractive. I agree. That you don't have to babysit them the whole time? Yeah, I mean, it was cool, but like every now and again they'd be like,

wait, so how do you know her? I'm a little confused and I was like, I don't know, do I bring up the dating app? I was like, I would usually find a way to sort of like

do the conversation elsewhere. Yeah, you don't want to tell them, oh yeah, I'm from onenightstand.com. You also don't want to be like, I'm her, I'm from OneNightStand.com. You also don't want to be like, I'm her cousin. They'll see you kiss later. It'll be weird.

Oh, my God. But if it was one of my friends, I'd be stoked. I'd be like, this is so hysterical. And then it's her cousin. And awkward. Yeah, you'd love it, Brooke. You're like, oh, your cousin,

go for it. I'm talking about the date. It's good that the party sounded fun, but were you able to ever get any, like, alone, one-on-one time to actually connect with her? Yeah, so, like, we got on the beer pong table together once, so that was fun. Oh, okay.

But actually, yeah, like, I ended up staying until the end. So we got, like, almost a half an hour to sort of, like, chat. It was, you know, it's like post-party. Like, you know, she's pretty tired. I was pretty tired. It was a lot. Like, it was a lot. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. But we decided next week we're gonna go out on like a real date okay so how did it end did you just leave yeah i just you know she gave me a hug goodbye but i mean you know when i was leaving like she seemed happy about the party but she also seemed like genuinely happy that i actually made the decision to stay and like you know okay so that's good what's happened since well yeah that's the thing nothing now i texted her you know that week to make plans i didn't hear back and now it's been two weeks and so i'm like you know i'm just racking my brain like what i you know in my head i'm like now i'm

thinking about who is at the party i'm like was there like an ex-boyfriend or something that maybe she rekindled with that's interesting that's a good thought good thought, actually. Or did someone say something bad about you? Yeah. Do you think it's going to be weird when we call her in a couple minutes and all shout surprise? Let's do it! Because that's my plan.

We're going to play a song. Sweet. We'll come back. We'll call Kayla for you and try and get your second date update, okay? Yeah, I appreciate it. 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, surprise. It's a second date update. Yay. Dude, you blew the surprise. We were supposed to wait until she was on the phone.

We can do it again. Well, it's a second date update minus the date part. Yeah. But there was a lot of party. Yeah, because one of our listeners, Chris, unknowingly scheduled a meet-up on the exact night Kayla's friends planned a surprise birthday party for her. Yeah. So he showed up,

got rushed in, and told to hide behind a couch along with 40 other people that he didn't know. And he surprised Kayla. Ended up hanging out for about three hours, mostly with Kayla's dog, but also with some of her friends and even her at one point. And Chris, how did you say it ended that night between you guys?

I felt good. It was weird, obviously, but she was happy I was there and that we were definitely hanging out the next weekend. All right. Maybe it's just a scheduling thing. I mean, she did say it was her birthday the week after because they were doing the party a week before. Maybe she's just been too busy.

Yeah, I mean, it's definitely possible. I get that but like she's not responding even to text yeah brooke what a dumb suggestion that was trying to be positive i hope you feel embarrassed by that i don't okay but you know that's because you should i'm numb to embarrassment at this point in my life this doesn't doesn't happen anymore. Well, now you just made it sad. Okay. Let's just call Kayla and hopefully put some positivity into this call. Alright, you ready to do this, Chris? I hope so. Okay, here we go.

Hello? Hey, is this Kayla? This this is she this is surprise you're on the radio right now with brooke and jeffrey in the morning yay i'm sorry what happy birthday happy belated birthday yeah we heard it's your birthday um thanks i'm sorry but is this a joke or something i don't i just don't know Happy belated birthday. Yeah, we heard it's your birthday. I'm sorry, but is this a joke or something? I just don't know. No, it's not a joke. It's actually something that we're doing called a second date update.

Yes. We're all wondering about a hangout that you had recently with one of our listeners named Chris. Oh. He reached out to us and told us you guys are supposed to go out on a date, but then it kind of got derailed because your friends threw you a surprise birthday party and he like he said he got like swept up into the party somehow which is i thought it sounded like a really cute night this is really weird um well don't worry sorry we didn't mean to blindside you and surprise you with all that stuff we're just really trying to help our listener chris understand what happened at the party because he felt like

you guys were getting along and you were supposed to hang out the next weekend and that never happened. So he's just a little bit confused. Yeah. I mean, it was such a weird thing

that it happened because basically I was not only surprised that there was a surprise party, but then I was like, it was a double layer of surprise because Chris being there. And so it was like just a clown car

full of emotions, I suppose. And it was super nice that he stayed, but it was weird because I guess he left and then he came back. He left and came back. You mean to the party? I mean, I didn't see him, but I just assumed he did that.

What do you mean you assumed? Well, because here was a gift from Chris that was on the present table. And I mean, he didn't know that there was going to be a surprise party. At least he said he didn't, and my friend said he didn't. That's so sweet, though. So you think he rushed out in the middle of the party to go get you a present? Yeah, that's actually really nice. I think that rushed out in the middle of the party to go get you a present. Yeah. That's actually really nice. I think that's so kind.

Yeah, but it wasn't because when I opened up his present, it was Skims shapewear. Oh. What is that? That is hard to get your hands on, though. I have no idea what this is. It's the Kim Kardashian line of shapewear. Isn't it supposed to slim you down? Yeah.

Yeah. Was it lingerie, though, just by Skims? No. Because they do all sorts of different- It was shapewear? Isn't it supposed to like slim you down? Yeah. Yeah. Was it lingerie though? It just by skims? Cause they do all sorts of different. It was shapewear. And I'm, I was so like horrifically offended. You know, he obviously, he looked at me and then he was like, Oh, I'm just going to go run out and get shapewear for her.

Why would he do that? That is, that's really odd. Especially for a first date possible gift but is it one of those things where he just saw like it's a kim kardashian line and he figured like if i was gonna buy girl makeup and i saw kim k on it or something like maybe nice way to look at it maybe he didn't know it was shapewear maybe he thought it was just like look kayla i want you to know he never told us that he bought you a gift or anything about the Skims. And he went on and on about how cute and hot you were when we talked to him. I mean, I just don't want to have to think about it, about him anymore.

So, you know. Well, I'm sorry to do this to you, Kayla, but we do have one more surprise. This is the end. Chris is on the other line listening and he wants to talk to you Kayla but we do have one more surprise Chris is on the other line listening and he wants to talk to you hey wait wait what yeah um I I I'm sorry I'm like this is blowing me away I I never left the party I I promise you like like, 100%. So, wait, you already had a gift with you and you showed up to a party that you didn't know was going to happen? Yeah, dude. No.

Wait, hold on. You guys, this is – Chris, did you set this up to get me on the radio like this? Like, you've got to stop. I wanted to talk to you and I couldn't figure out any other way to, like, try to figure out, like, what I possibly did to make you not like even respond to text like let alone knock a lot with me again because you got you bought me you must have left

and got me some present that is demonstrative of of how you look at my body or i like it was just so weird and inappropriate and inappropriate dude what were you thinking man i don't even know i wouldn't even know where to buy shapewear. Like, this is, I don't know. See? I guess I'm sort of figuring out, based on what everyone's saying, what shapewear is. But, look, all right. This is kind of embarrassing.

Oh, no. I liked you a lot, like, upon meeting you. And, like, there was this whole table of presents, like, from all your awesome friends. And I was like, I don't have anything for her. It's her it's her birthday and like this is my first impression on her and i don't know like i didn't think i drank too much but maybe i just put something in my head i was just i crossed off one of the names on the gifts and i put my name on it oh i know it was not a cool i know it's not a cool move but i I promise you it was done with the best intentions. To the worst gift on the table. I didn't open it first.

Of course, because it's wrapped. Kayla, we want to hear from you. What do you think about that? My jaw is just on the ground. So you're saying that present wasn't from you, but it's trying to take credit for a present that somebody else was giving you, but it backfired on you. Is that better or worse than what you originally thought? Good point. I mean, I'm just like swimming in confusion right now.

Oh my God. I will say it means that he is not some weirdo who's giving you shapewear on purpose. That's a good point. That is a big thing. I would have never looked at you and been like, oh, man, she needs to alter anything about her appearance or about yourself as a person at all. No, he just needs to alter the name on this happy birthday card to say it's from him. I mean, Kayla, it sounds like he made a drunkenunken dumb mistake that he thought was going to impress and it backfired in the absolute worst way it could have but overall he seems like a pretty

cool guy and we'd like to send you guys out on another date if you're up for it Kayla we'd pay for it no presents yeah that's actually a good thing this time. That typically isn't. What do you think? I will go out on a date with Chris if he helps me figure out who gave me shapewear for my birthday. Seriously, get him. All right. Chris, you up for a little detective work? I'm in, yeah.

That's awesome. Congratulations, you guys. Well, I'll say this. You've now made a new listener. Oh, yay! That makes two listeners total. Yay! We did it.

We're both on the phone. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's been months since the surprise birthday scandal that rocked the radio waves. Yeah. And now Chris and Kayla are both back to give us an update. Hey, guys, how's it going? You keeping it tight? Oh, come on.

Oh, I see what you did there. Keeping it constrained? She's laughing. Now she's laughing. She can't breathe very well. That stuff is real. How you guys been? Yeah, really good.

Wait, so are you guys still seeing each other? Yeah, we have kept seeing each other. You're welcome. That is cute. A little flirty giggly. They say a couple that shapes together stays together. I like that. I mean, how has it been?

No, it's been really good. It's been really good. So we decided we were going to just kind of like take it slow for a while. But a couple months in, I did ask if Kayla wanted to be official. Did you circle yes or no, Kayla? Oh, big fat yes. Oh, that's so sweet. Fat yes, wow.

Yeah, and it was funny, actually, so, like, a little while after we had, like, made the official boyfriend-girlfriend, she actually ended up throwing me a surprise party. No! Oh, my God, please tell me it was shapewear-themed. Yeah, it should have been all

just body-shaping weights and clothes. Waist trainers. That'd be an expensive party. Yeah, it would be. I actually thought about that, but I was like, you know what, let me be a little more clever

and I told all of his friends to come and bring a present, but the rule was that I wrote my name on all the presents. Oh, you did? That's so funny. That is cute.

Wow, you got him so much stuff. Yeah. He had such a great sense of humor about it, and actually it made me fall in love with him even more. Oh. We're even using those terms. Wow. Well, it's good to know that you got over everything, too,

and now you guys are happy. And it's a cute inside joke. I know. Oh, I love it. And now if you guys end up getting married, all the presents are going to be from Kayla at the wedding, too. Thanks for keeping us updated, guys.

It's 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.
