But you play it back in your head over and over again wondering like, oh, was that the right thing to say? That's where one of our listeners, Amanda, has been living for her life for the last week. That's a hard place.

Playing back the date over and over again, wondering if she messed up. Let's find out what happened. Amanda, welcome to the show. Hi, guys. That was a little weird, the way you said that, Amanda. Yeah, awkward. I think you should probably think about that for a while. Oh, my God.

It's starting early. We're just messing around with you, Amanda. So thanks for emailing in. Tell us about the guy that you went out with. What's his name? So I met Sean online, and he's really cute. He was in one of those pictures with, like, biting his glasses. I was like, ooh, I saw this.

Wait, what? Biting? What did you say about? you say about his glasses like on the corner oh like he was doing the sexy librarian in his profile photo yes he was is that a that's an attractive thing to you amanda he's in deep thought well you know what had happened was is that i was watching sex in the City at the time. And apparently the response was, like, guys that do that are good and bad. So I was really upset. I had to buy a pair of glasses and bite them all the time. Yeah, just eat those glasses. That was the old Sex and the City, right?

Because the new one would just say, guys that do that just mean they need reading glasses. It's an elderly crew. It was the new one. Yeah, it was the new one yeah it was the new one okay okay so uh he has glasses and he bites them what else do we need to know about sean he's amazing in bed that's all we need to know so we met up for dinner and we went to this like really nice italian restaurant and immediately went out so i'm like we just hugged okay hold on though was the italian restaurant your idea his idea it was my idea oh okay saw it on sex in the city again i was just hopeful it was his idea because i'm like oh that's a great sign that he wanted to

put in the effort for a fancy romantic dinner nice restaurant that's a great song that you wanted to do that so that's good he didn't agree brooke so that's good how did dinner go well that's where it got a little weird because we were going to sit down and he went to take out my chair and i was like oh thanks but you know you don't have to do that that's okay oh you said you didn't like that it's not that i didn't i just felt i don't know like i felt weird about it I guess like I feel that I feel so extra when someone tries to do that for me really why I feel like they're gonna treat me like I'm a celebrity and I'm like can you not like a celebrity yeah I was just gonna say if I ever do that for girls 99% of the time they're shocked they're like oh no no I get and

I'm like no no let me be a gentleman I'm capable of pulling a chair. Yeah. Like, you're not some sort of hero for pulling my chair. Hold on. Like, let me get you tucked in over here. Okay. I mean, I just, I would assume he said, I know that I don't have to do it. I'm just trying to, you know, wine and dine you, my friend. You're being chivalrous for it.

He's going to look like a little bit, he wasn't upset. He was like, oh, okay. All right. I feel that. A little bit of awkwardness before you start dinner, but were you able to get things back on track? So we ordered our food and we didn't have appetizers. I was hungry.

And then it ended up happening that we had reservations for like six, but then we had to move it down a little bit because of traffic and stuff. These sound like really important details. Well, she's hungry. That's what she's saying. At that point, because it was like later and then like I was hungry. Okay. Are you telling me they didn't have a free bread bowl on the table?

Oh my gosh, they did. And I was trying to like not looking at it because, you know, like you want, I like the bread with the sauce. So good. I mean, I love hearing about because you know like you want i i like the bread with the sauce i mean i love hearing about you know what your appetite was like and why you were hungry and what you were hungry for but can we i'm just saying can we talk more about your actual date like what was sean doing while you were eyeing the bread well just saying first of all food is important in my life okay okay i understand now so he ordered his food and he i see him starting to eat and he's just like picking up like a little bit of food at a time and just like putting it in his mouth and chewing okay that sounds like a polite way to eat yeah no it was like silence of the lambs slow eating oh you know what i mean like oh is that why he's a villain in that movie because he's a slow eater it's what he eats i think are you guys are you guys talking through this are you having a good conversation or are you

just silently slow eating in front of each other. It's so uncomfortable. I'm definitely like talking, I'm eating, I'm drinking my wine. So I'm like having a good time, but he's like just very solemn, just like giving me, and then I just kind of slow down, but then I slow down because he was just staring at me at this point. So I was like, I'm not, I'm not okay with this. I can't eat if someone's just looking at me. I need the person to just looking at me. That's weird. I need the person to eat faster than me.

Yeah. Distract. I was, apparently I was eating way too fast. So it was like, um, what's going on? And he's like, no, I had a big lunch. And I'm like, well, dude, you knew we were coming to this, but like, okay. And then I just, you know, when you just stop eating and then you just get upset about something and you're like, I don't want to touch it anymore because it's like, it's gone.

Yeah. Food vibe is gone. So I was like, do you want to talk about something? Like, is something bothering you? So wait, now it sounds really awkward. I know, this dude becomes so dramatic. Now it sounds like you're pouting because he's not eating as much as you. I am. i was hungry

i we talked about how much i love food and he's like you know what i don't want to eat anything i'm like you know what i want dessert oh you're still hungry you want to make the date longer now i'm emotional eating now i'm like this is i might as well have a brownie what so okay so then you ate a brownie in front of him. Is there any part of the date that you enjoyed? Something that you liked? The brownie. So why are we calling him?

What do you want us to do? You actually want to go out with him again? Or are you just calling for the free gift card at the end for the Italian bread? No, you know what it was? We had good conversations beforehand. the end for the italian restaurant or something no it just you know what it was like we had we had good conversations beforehand i think it like changed when i sat down i was like you know i'm not needy like i don't need you to pull out my chair like i kind of saw his persona change a little bit so it was like i think it kind of went downhill very quickly afterwards so you think it was that moment you know yeah you know there are maybe he

had an idea of like a slow service chill meal and when he got there you stopped his whole thought of that happening you're eating quick you're you're you know you're not doing what he was hoping would happen there's also some dudes who are like if if you don't reciprocate the chair pull out of the door open like what you don't need a man? What are you, some independent lady? Oh, now he's getting a bullier. Oh, yeah. He could have been offended that you weren't impressed by it.

I can see that. Well, let's call him. We're going to play a song. We'll come back. We'll reach out to Sean, and we'll try and get you your second date update, OK? Thank you. All right, hold on.

Second date update. If you missed the first part of the second date update it was mostly just talking about food i know i loved it about what types of food amanda likes why she likes them what time of day she prefers to eat them yeah ended with the brownie yeah ended yeahed the whole day with a brownie after conversation kind of deteriorated and the eating stopped. I do feel like it was like a spite brownie, too. She ordered it just because he wasn't eating. Right.

And the awkwardness all started because he was trying to be a nice guy and pulled the chair out for her when they first got to the restaurant, which Amanda thought was a little bit over the top. Was that right, Amanda? That is correct. It sounds like you were both just pouting throughout the day. Like he was like, fine, I'm not going to do anything for you, including talk. And you're like, fine, I'm just going to eat a lot.

Exactly. That's why I want another date with Sean. I don't want to go in like that. Okay. Well, that's what we're going to try and do here for you right now. But hopefully whatever the next date you have doesn't involve any food whatsoever. Well, that way you won't get distracted by the meals and who's eating, how fast, and what they're eating. You can just talk to each other and bond.

Yeah. If the next date is not even about food, don't even bother. Don't call them. Yeah. Spoken like a true foodie. And what are we going to do, Jeff? Give a gift certificate for talking? Yeah.

Okay, just eat a meal before dinner. I'm sure we could have like a museum tour or something. I don't know. Okay, we'll just do it. Forget it. Let's just dial Sean's number and we'll see what he has to say. Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Sean? Hello? Yeah, who's calling? Hey, Sean, my name is Jeff from the radio show,

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. How you doing, man? Yeah, why are you calling me? It's a great question, Sean. You're to the point, and I like that about you already. We're doing something called a second date update, and we're calling on behalf of one of our listeners named Amanda, who went out with you recently. Remember Amanda? Not really.

That's fine. That makes sense. guys like actually went to dinner like it wasn't just like a oh kind of talking online like you physically met up with her yeah but i mean i go on a lot of dates you know so i'm not bragging i'm not bragging okay what's that like options i hopefully we can jog your memory about her um You met her online and you went out to an Italian restaurant and you tried to pull her chair out for her. And she made a comment like you don't have to do that. Any of this ringing a bell? Okay. I mean, you probably weren't that into the dinner because it sounds like you weren't very hungry.

Yeah, but she's a little bit confused on what the specific reason was that your date kind of ended a little awkwardly i mean maybe you had other things planned or there's some something else that we don't know that happened during the date um i i don't know if i want to say but i mean i think i think she'd be okay like she just wants to know you know she also admitted that it was a pretty i mean bad date from her description and she actually wants a redo because it sucked yeah yeah i don't know i mean i just have bad vibes from her during the date and it might it might sound superficial but you know her dinner order like freaked me out her order what do you mean what was her Yeah. I wasn't super fishy. What was her order?

You like a girl that only eats a salad or something. Is that what you're saying? Uh-oh. Yeah, I mean, it's not just a salad. She ordered a salad

with sliced up hot dogs in it and a strawberry vinaigrette side. Wait. Wait, wait, wait. A hot dog salad? Did you just say hot dogs in the salad? Yeah.

Oh, my God. Where... Is that... Was that one of the items on the menu? Brooke, did they go to dinner in your hometown? What is this? No, she ordered it herself. Like, she just basically was like, oh, can you put in hot dogs in there?

And the wait staff was just like, what? They were like, huh? And she's like, yeah, yeah, it's just a little thing. Can you do that? Like the chef. Like, he has a pack of hot dogs. Is she lying around? You're saying that she got a green salad with like leafy greens and maybe some other vegetables in it and then added hot dogs to the mix?

And then strawberry vinaigrette. What did it look like when it came out? If you want to imagine what gopher puke looked like, that was it. Brooke probably knows what that looks like. So wait, no. That is a special one. I mean, okay. look like that was it brooke probably knows what that looks like i mean okay that we could talk about this for a while because it is really strange but it's a sausage on the menu is is that it's probably from the kids menu they pulled a hot dog from the menu but is that why you weren't talking much during dinner because she said the conversation kind of stopped i was grossed out i mean i'm sorry it was just

gross all i know like right there when i saw that it told me everything i need to know about her that one she's high maintenance and two weird oh my god are you serious right now you're not you don't want to talk to me because of a hot hot dog and a salad? Yeah, so hold on, Amanda. Sean, Amanda's, that's Amanda, obviously. She's been listening this entire time. She wants to talk to you. Oh, boy. I'm sorry.

I've never met a sane person in my life who ever wanted that combo together. What's wrong with your taste buds? That salad was delicious. Delicious? Hot dogs are delicious. Just put them together. It was fine. Dude, dude, dude.

It's not just me. Even the waiter gave you a look, okay? Oh. He might have been looking at me, but it wasn't for the salad I ordered. Oh. He was like, it got hot in here. Did you just order a hot dog salad? I mean, I kind of want to try it.

Does no one else like a little bit want to try it? No, like I would eat it, but I wouldn't go to an Italian restaurant for it. No, I don't want to try it. I don't need to try this. Are you really like, a hot dog and a salad honestly ruined your entire night, Sean. Like that just seems crazy to me. At least ruined his appetite. What else does she do?

Are you that insecure that you can't see somebody eating a hot dog in a salad? It's not like it's whole, was it? Was it a whole glizzy? No, I love hot dogs, actually, so it's not that. Okay. Sean, are you just looking for someone who has the same taste as you and everything? I don't think

you're going to find that. I mean, when you're eating hot dogs with salad, which is like the antithesis of like why you're ordering salad. I don't know. I don't know what that's at. That's just too much of a wild card for me. You know what I mean? So it seems like you were more embarrassed by her then?

No, I was scared when I saw that. Scared. Okay. Fear came over you when she made that order. I'm just saying, it seems like something you'd scrounge together in a prison cafeteria. Exactly what I was saying. I don't know.

My mom liked fried bologna a lot. We had a lot of that growing up. Anybody else know? Fried bologna's good. Yeah. In the salad. He might start hating on people that eat spam, too, but that's okay. He can never go to Hawaii after that.

Okay. I mean, it's a broken sermon, though, that you don't have, like, bologna soup. Yeah mean, you don't have like bologna soup. Yeah, but you don't like, it could be like a Cobb salad. You know, what's the difference? Ham,

hot dog. They're pretty similar. I'm just saying, I mean, I feel like we're beating a dead hot dog at this point. So maybe it's just time to ask, um, Sean,

we would like to send you out on another date with Amanda and we'll pay for it. If you're interested at all, just burgers, maybe instead of... I'm good. You're good. Guys, he's not a wiener. Oh!

Oh, a wiener? Oh, a wiener. Oh, he hung up. Okay, well I think Sean hung up. Couldn't stand to be on the phone with us and talk about hot dogs in front of him anymore. It was probably the wiener joke. He didn't appreciate that.

Most men don't. Intimidated by a good wiener. I loved it. You know what, Amanda? I think just to be safe, you need to put this on your dating profile. Just so that guys know what they're getting into before they go out to dinner with you. That's a good idea. I like wieners.

No. Would she be a number one wiener okay no just say you like wiener salad yeah we're gonna work on the phrasing there but we're getting closer i don't know we can do this as a logo hashtags i'm open to suggestions okay brooke and jeffrey in the morning was she joking with us about putting the wiener stuff up on her profile? She's definitely going to get a lot more matches, but I hope she doesn't take it seriously. She'll get a lot of ideas on the top of her head. Wiener's welcome was pretty dang good. It'll be matches of people who don't want to pull her chair out.

That's right. Good point. Yeah, that's for sure. More in line with what she's looking for. I was curious if that hot dog salad thing was a real dish. I thought you were going to say it was good. I am too. Like you put some blue cheese, a hard-boiled egg. I don't know, Brooke.

Some peppers. It's just weird. The cob was the closest thing you had me. I was almost there. I Googled hot dog salad, and my computer instantly got flagged by IT. I can't say whether or not it's real or whether or not it's good. Maybe some of our listeners can chime in. That's cute.

Sorry. What's cute? Finish. I'll tell you. Maybe some of our listeners can chime in and tell us whether or not it's any good. Text in to 78592. Tell us. That was the first time you've ever Google searched hot dog salad.

Yeah, he just didn't put the word toss in. You're making me blush. Stop. Remember, if you ever want to get a second date update, email the show. We'll call the person who isn't calling you back. 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.

Someone else will too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble. Joel, the holidays are a blast, but the financial hangover, that can be a huge bummer.
