I feel like super important when you're first starting to date someone you need to be able to keep the momentum going yeah like after a good first date you need

to see him again sooner rather than later pacing is key not too soon you can't wait too long yeah because if you wait the spark could fizzle out or somebody else could swoop in. Or in my case, your mom calls and asks, why aren't you going out with that person again? I've already FaceTimed them twice and sent multiple pictures of you as a baby. Now they're not going to call back even if you want them to. That legitimately checks out for Jeff. Honestly. Your mom messaged me at 2 a.m. the other day.

I'm not kidding. An old video of you. Oh, did you get that too? Yeah. Oh, you got it too? I know. I didn't. And you're not even a romantic interest for me.

Just imagine what it's like. Oh, we're not talking about it. Oh, yeah. Not yet. But anyway, Isabella emailed the show. Isabella, I'm hoping your mom isn't involved in your dating life like mine usually is. Yeah, not so much. Oh, wow.

You're lucky, Isabella. You have a chance then, huh? Well, we want to hear all about your romantic ball and how we can keep it moving. So tell us about it. What the heck was that, bro? That was pretty much the smoothest transition I've ever done. Okay. It's a romantic ball.

Yeah. Where are you at in the... The ball of romance. With the ball. What is going on? Well, I just went on a date with this guy named jason that i met on an app okay and it was a pretty good date like first date all around um he had this interesting idea to go to this place that i've never heard of before it's like a hole in the wall place but it's where you

just drink and play a bunch of board games. Oh, that's so fun. I just think different is good. It doesn't, like I said, board games sounds boring, but anything different, like a different theme of a bar, a different, you know, like the axling bars. My husband and I once tried to do a board game bar place, and we walked in, and it was way more serious than we were expecting. Oh, no.

We were expecting, like, I don't know, sorry, checkers or something. It was like one of those where it's like, this is an 18-round game where you make up things and there's, I don't know. It's like Risk or Dungeons & Dragons. Brooke, you know this isn't your dating life segment. This is about Isabella. I'm relating, Jeff.

That's how you relate. You were saying your experience wasn't very fun. Isabella, I'm relating, Jeff. That's how you relate. You're saying your experience wasn't very fun. Isabella, how was yours? Well, this place was a little different. When you go in, they make you fill out a survey about your personality. Oh, board games and surveys? Talk about hot.

She liked it, though. So it did seem kind of weird. Yeah, it's different. Why would they need to know your personality? Because they want to pick a board game for you based on your personality. So like me, I would get like, what's it called, the rat trap game? They would kick you out. And then, you know, someone else would get like, sorry.

It's like the algorithm in real life. Okay. So you filled out that. What board game did the survey come back and tell you to play? Well, they were picking out really weird ones that I'd never heard of. Something about tadpoles and... I don't know. Tadpoles?

Yeah, weird games. So we just went with, you know, a classic taboo. Taboo. I would have gone Hungry, Hungry Hippos, but that's just me. Is taboo fun to play with only two people? We had to make up our own rules a little bit, but it was kind of a good way to kind of learn about

each other a little bit. Can you explain really short what taboo is? Because I don't think I know. So, like, I would pick a card and then try to get him to guess the word on the card by not saying certain words. Oh, that's right.

I played this. It's like you need to guess Christmas, but you can't say Santa Claus, candy cane. It's like charades, but you're using talking. Yeah, it was pretty fun. And then we made a little bet. Oh, that's cute.

What was the bet? We were like, whoever loses the next round has to go around and bust everyone's tables, like their drinks and their food. Oh, that sucks. I love this because it also helps the bar. That's really fun. I love it. And it's embarrassing.

Yeah, you're like, sorry, can I take your plates, everyone? That's really fun. That's a good bet. Who won? I won and now we get to the reason why he's not calling you back yeah it's like I worked a 10-hour shift how did he handle losing was he a good sport about it well he actually seemed to kind of enjoy it like he was a really good sport about it and okay he was kind of laughing and going around and so the waitress was super happy

and she just came to sit with me and cute yeah that's funny it was fun but then when he came back he made a new bet and said the next person that loses has to kiss the other person on the cheek okay and then the mouth and then like this well i Well at least that one's kind of romantic And not just embarrassing And it's cute that he did on the cheek There's not a lot of pressure for that He's not being a weirdo So who won that bet?

I won again So he had to kiss you on the cheek Yes Whenever he went to kiss me I kind of turned And then so we kissed on the lips and stuff. Oh, yes. That's the best move ever. Isabella, you broke the rules.

And then they kicked her out. Was it cute? Hey, lady, you're out of here. Was it cute? Did he like that? Yeah, it was cute. Okay. That all sounds good.

Yeah, it sounds fun. Super fun. You connected. You guys laughed together. You shared a kiss. Doesn't sound like a date you've ever been on before yeah it's unique afterwards he texted me and said he wanted to see me again and so i was like yeah me too okay so that same night he texted you that he wanted to

see you again yeah oh that's good all right that's a good sign but then he had to head out of town for a week. And then when he got back from out of town, we made a plan to meet up at this bar. And we'd only been there for about 30 minutes. And he was kind of acting weird. And then he said he had to leave again. And then all of a sudden, he has to go out of town for a couple of more weeks. And he doesn't know when he's coming back. And it's all kind of weird. Like he doesn't know when he's coming back and it's all kind of weird. Like he doesn't know when he's coming back?

Yeah, he's just iffy. Okay. I do know of people that have jobs that will send them out and say, hey, we don't know when you're coming back. Why wouldn't he just say that if it was you? Yeah. I mean, what do you think?

What's your theory? I mean, part of me thinks he's meeting up with like another girl. Yeah. So how long has it been since you last saw him, since that last date? It's been, like, two and a half weeks. Okay. So you've heard it a long time.

You guys, I feel like you've had one and a half dates. Because that second one sounded like it was so short that it doesn't even fully count. Yeah. Okay. And the window you're talking about, I think that window's like a week, a week and a half. Yeah. Now you're out of the chemistry vibe. That romance ball is slowing down to almost stop.

We're going to kick the ball, and we're going to try and get this romance going again, full speed. Can we kick it away from us? Well, we're going to kick it in the direction of love. Okay. Oh, wow. What?

The metaphor works. It doesn't. If you don't think too hard about it. Just keep up on it. We're going to keep the ball of love. Okay. Oh, wow. The metaphor works if you don't think too hard about it. Just give up on it. We're going to keep the ball of romance going with your second date update.

Next. Second date update. Knight to bishop three. Oh. Left foot red. Huh? Professor Plum in the library

with a lead pipe oh yeah board games not traditionally considered a sexy first date but that lead pipe got me oh yeah and for Isabella she was able to make it work when she went out with a guy named Jason

and they played what did they play? Taboo which is I guess sexy in itself just in the name yeah but after the date things have been cooling off a little bit Jason has been in and out of town hard to reach to figure out how to get that because I've gone on one and a half dates so far yeah hard to figure out how to get that second full date in, and she's hoping we can help her today. Isabella, how are you feeling? I'm kind of nervous, but excited. Okay.

I mean, it does sound like his interest is waning if he's like, oh, I'm just out of town. Yeah. TBD, you know, like no information. So maybe this can get it back on track. I just kind of want to know what is happening. Yeah. I can find if he needs to go, but I would like to know why or just what's going on. Right.

I feel like you've invested enough time and energy that you deserve that answer. Sure, sure. This is the good time to ask all those questions. We're going to call his number right now and see what he has to say, okay? Okay. And if not, there's always Professor Plum for you. So let's just dial the number right now. Here we go hello yo is this jason uh yeah who's this hey my name is jeff from brooke and jeffrey in the

morning hey uh what that's yeah that's brooke in the morning? Hey. What? That's Brooke. That's Brooke. I just wanted him to know that it wasn't just Jeff. Oh, yeah. It's probably good to tell people. There's like a bunch of people on the front.

Yeah. So, you know, radio stations? There's hundreds of them all over the world. Yeah, I know radio stations. It kind of sounds like you're talking down to him right now.

Well, Jason, we're a really, really tiny one. Okay. Not super respected in the industry, but we have four people on it, Alexis, Jose, Brooke, and I. Yes. And our show kind of specializes in doing dating stuff. Oh, okay. Okay.

I'm actually reading a lot about dating, and I'm trying to get better at it. So it's actually kind of cool you're calling me. Oh, really? Perfect. Oh, that's cute. You're doing like little self-help books for reading? That's awesome. Well, so like I've been watching a lot of like relationship experts on YouTube

and I'm trying to do this new strategy. What is it? What's your new strategy? There's this one guy and he keeps talking about the difference between attraction and desire. Okay. And he's like, you can be attracted to someone when you're with them,

but the only way to build desire is to spend time away from them. Oh, like absence makes the heart grow fonder type of approach. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm just warning you. I've heard this, and I've spent like five years away from my ex. She still has a couple of times. So don't let them really turn too far, buddy. So that's something

that you're trying to practice in your life? Yeah, so there's this girl I've been hanging out with and I've been telling her I've been having to go out of town on business, but I'm actually

just here at home. What? Just so I can let the desire build, you know? Dude, no, I don't know. That's not... Hold on, that's kind of impressive. Do you even have a job that you travel? Dude, no, I don't know. That's not... Hold on, that's kind of impressive. Do you even have a job that you travel?

Because it sounds like you're an important person, too. Well, I mean, I work from home, but... Oh! He's making it up. Okay. But it sounds cool. But you're telling her that you're going out of town because that makes you seem like, ooh,

I'm unavailable and you should desire me. Oh, no. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's like making herailable and you should desire me. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's like making her want what she can't have. That's interesting. How do you feel like that strategy is working for you? I mean, she keeps trying to hang out with me, so it seems like it's working. That's good. That's interesting.

Jason, you can't just lie about where you're going to be. That's not what the advice is, man. Well, I mean, but I have to come up with some reason for why I can't hang out all the time. You can't just say, hey, I'm going to be at home, but I don't want to hang out with you. You can go on a date. You don't have to go like weeks. Exactly. Exactly. Like you have to keep like momentum in dating.

And it seems like you are giving big, long stretches of time in between where it feels like to these women that you're probably feels like you're ghosting them. So did you call to just like harass me about my strategy here? I'm trying to get it to work a little bit better for you, Jason. We just we want to help you is really what it comes down to, I think. And I don't know. You said that you're like currently trying this on somebody. Do you mind if we ask her name?

Her name is isabella yeah isabella that is so weird because jason you're not gonna believe this i think everyone will but there's an isabella on the other line right now that's been listening to this entire conversation burning with desire to talk. We just burned up. Wait, what? Hi. Oh, there she is.

Yeah. This is kind of not cool. We blew it. This isn't in his books. Load up your YouTube page and find out what to do next, Jason. Jason, it is cool because she's interested in you. She wants to see you. Load up your YouTube page and find out what to do next, Jason. Oh, my God. Jason, it is cool because she's interested in you.

She wants to see you. Yes, your plan is working. Well, now I'm a little bit weirded out. This seems like a game. I mean, now I feel stupid. Is this a game to you? No, I mean, it's not a game. I like you, and I was trying to get you to like me too. And do you think it's like, do you think that's a good strategy that you learned from YouTube?

I mean, well, you called a radio station to find out what was going on with me. So it seems like it worked kind of. Don't argue with that, Isabella. Brooke is blushing and is so defeated right now. You should see her face. She thought that you were like cheating on her or something, dude. She thought you had like a second

family somewhere. Because she wants him so bad. We only went on one date. I don't know how I could have been cheating on her, but... You kind of went on one and a half dates from what Isabella told us. Yeah, why did you leave a half an hour into that second date, Jason?

Well, I thought it would be a good way to build anticipation for the next date. Oh, no, you don't do it so abstract. You didn't have any plans that night? It doesn't sound like you guys have a million subscribers like the guy I'm following on YouTube, so I don't really need to take it from you. Oh.

Well, you are the one getting girls calling you. Take it from Isabella. Isabella, getting girls calling you take it from isabella isabella are you enjoying him pushing you away i don't think your youtube guy is very smart i mean is he in a relationship does he have a girlfriend he has several oh wait okay that's your role model oh if you weren't supposed to hear any of this, if you hadn't been on the line, things would be going great. You'd still be eagerly anticipating our next date. Oh, yeah. Should be confused, though. Yeah, I wouldn't consider that going great.

I mean, look, I just have to wait two more days to get your desire to the peak level. And then I was going to make plans. Make what with you? I said make plans. Okay. Okay. After almost three plans. Okay. I thought he said catch plans. After almost three weeks. Okay.

Well, he was almost about to call you, Isabella, so in a way, you jumped the gun. Ooh, clingy. Yeah, you're messing this up for both of us. I actually, Isabella, I think this is kind of sweet. Like, he's obviously taking this advice maybe a little too literally. Yeah. But he put in a lot of effort to try to get you to like him because he likes you yeah and i think that's the sweet thing like you just need to be yourself jason not listen to some youtube dude possibly but

honestly this this is working the evidence is apparent yeah i mean obviously it's kind of working on isabella because she does seem still interested. But how many other women are you doing this to right now? Is Isabella the only one? No, I mean, yes. No, I'm not doing it to anybody. No, but yes. Isabella's the only person I'm seeing right now.

Good. That's always good to hear. I don't know if seeing you counts if I haven't seen you in like two and a half weeks. Yeah, I guess it's not really. seeing you counts if I haven't seen you in like two and a half weeks. We have the power to change that for you because we will offer to send you guys out on another date and we'll pay for that. I mean, I always wanted to go on another date. I just

had to wait a couple days. We promised not to leave during the date to heighten her desire or whatever your goal is. I think I can. I just need to watch the next video in the series to figure out. You didn't finish the series

before you tested it? What to do on date three. Oh, this is painful. But he's saying yes to another date. Isabella, are you still interested? Well. It sounds like he actually likes you. He just doesn't know how to handle it I'll give him at least he's putting some effort in dude which

most dudes don't thank you and kind of funny but if you ditch the YouTube and whoever this guy is then yeah well, there you go. Yay! Isabel, I just thought of something funny that you could do. You could leave halfway through the date now and have him burning with desire for you. This is called toxic. That's correct. The cycle.

It's called love. The romance ball of love. No! And we've got it back in motion, everybody. All right. Enough balls. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You know, we can hate on it all we want.

But in the end, Jason's strategy to get Isabella actually worked. Technically. It did. Create separation to build up desire. And she called us. And then we got him another date. But listen, if she didn't listen to our show, right, and she didn't know we were there to help, they would have never gone out again. I mean, honestly, like she would have just

lost interest and just let it go. You don't know that. I'm just assuming. Eventually, I'm just saying maybe there's something to this strategy. No, don't do this. If we go off the air for two weeks, what's going to happen, Brooke? God, I'd get a really great couple nights of sleep.

You know, like I'd feel a really great couple nights of sleep But our listeners might want to listen to us even more We build up the desire to hear us. Okay pitch that to management. See how that goes. Okay screw two weeks how about two months? Whoa! Off the air. Two decades. No show for two centuries and then we'll come back. The long slow play. I like it. We might try it.

We're already getting texts in of people who want us off the air. It's working. You're supposed to be telling us to stay. Remember, if you want to get a second day's update or if you want us to leave the radio forever, email the show. We call the person who's not calling you back. 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 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.
