Speaker 1: Second dat. Nowadays, most people who are on Facebook use
Speaker 1: it to either stalk their exes to find out who
Speaker 1: they're dating. Now okay, purchase discount Chinese made products off
Speaker 1: the marketplace, or angrily scream their political beliefs in all
Speaker 1: caps while vowing to unfriend anyone who disagrees with them.
Speaker 1: This is all everything that's happening in the world. This
Speaker 1: all checks out, right, But it's all checks out, Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: Apparently there are some people who still use Facebook to
Speaker 1: find love. Are they not in a senior center, because
Speaker 1: that's what happened to one of our listeners, Eric, Eric,
Speaker 1: which extremist chat group? Did you meet your lady? We
Speaker 1: met on the comment sections of a Facebook group called
Speaker 1: gross food? Gross Food? I think that is the only
Speaker 1: thing left that's fun on Facebook are the fun groups.
Speaker 1: You can be part of that and the Brook and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Facebook page. Oh yeah, you should go follow if
Speaker 1: you haven't already. But tell us Eric about the girl
Speaker 1: that you met. What's her name, Samantha? Okay, Samantha. What's
Speaker 1: funny is that I wanted to ask first about the
Speaker 1: gross food that you both commented on. Yeah, actually I
Speaker 1: was thinking that. Okay, what was it. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: this chili burger and it just it looked awful. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: someone's chili is like a weird brown is not a
Speaker 1: real photograph friendly food. That is definitely for sure. Actually,
Speaker 1: Eric sent us a picture of them, so here it is.
Speaker 1: I printed it out. It was exactly Yeah. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: looks like somebody took two buns and then reached into
Speaker 1: a porta potty basically. I mean it lives up to
Speaker 1: the gross food filter that you needed to post. Pretty disgusting.
Speaker 1: How did you guys start talking about it? She was like,
Speaker 1: is it bad that I want to put that in
Speaker 1: my face? And I was like, twenty bucks? Can I watch? You?
Speaker 1: Guys were meant for each other because after I saw that,
Speaker 1: oh wow, that's a visuals So did you actually, like
Speaker 1: you actually parlayed that into a date? Well yeah, sort of.
Speaker 1: I mean we started DM in for a while and
Speaker 1: I really did want to hang out, but she told
Speaker 1: me that she doubted I could actually watch her eat
Speaker 1: it because live like three hundred miles apart. Oh right,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like, what are the chances you're
Speaker 1: in the same city. That's what video chat dates are for. Yeah,
Speaker 1: video chat eating. This is that what you guys did? No,
Speaker 1: So we stayed friends on Facebook for a few weeks
Speaker 1: and mostly just talk about food and getting to know
Speaker 1: each other and stuff. And I was finally like, Hey,
Speaker 1: what if I fly you out over my way and
Speaker 1: we try to cut the chili brigger together? Nice? Oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna cook that thing together. That's what you're thinking.
Speaker 1: I think she's going to spend a whole weekend with
Speaker 1: a strange her that she met on Facebook. Get a
Speaker 1: hotel or he can get her a hotel. And they
Speaker 1: also talked for a few weeks. He said before he
Speaker 1: made that offer, right, like a lot of time with
Speaker 1: one person. But so she was kind of surprised, but
Speaker 1: she eventually said okay, and we sure the weekend to
Speaker 1: do it. Wow. So you guys spent a whole weekend together?
Speaker 1: Yeah kind of. What was it like when you picked
Speaker 1: her up at the airport? Well, I offered, but she
Speaker 1: didn't want me to. Oh, you know, trying to get
Speaker 1: or she just tried to get a free weekend vacation.
Speaker 1: But I'm moving into the hotel. I'll be fine. Yeah.
Speaker 1: A lot of times we don't look our best as
Speaker 1: soon as we get off of an airplane, so maybe
Speaker 1: she needed some time to collect herself before the actual
Speaker 1: dates start. So I mean, when did you guys finally
Speaker 1: meet up? She came over to my place and we
Speaker 1: have the same chemistry that we had online. Nice, that's
Speaker 1: really important, dude. Yeah, but then the disappointment started. Oh
Speaker 1: why who was disappointed? Both of you? Both of us? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the recipe was just awful. So the one that we
Speaker 1: found said that you should bake the burger, like the
Speaker 1: raw meat and the chili and the cheese and everything together,
Speaker 1: all wrapped inside a tinfoil. Oh, I mean you're following
Speaker 1: recipes based on gross food pictures? Like what do you
Speaker 1: expecting to get the hilarious point right? Like, let's recreate?
Speaker 1: Why would you be disappointed? Like I get? I mean,
Speaker 1: how did that turn out? I mean after an hour
Speaker 1: it was a total mess, horrible and it just walked
Speaker 1: it on. But I put it back in the oven
Speaker 1: and we tried cooking it some more and thought we
Speaker 1: eat again later, but she said it was getting late
Speaker 1: and she should go back to her hotel. Okay, wow,
Speaker 1: But I was like, you know, you can stay over,
Speaker 1: It's all right if you want. It sounds romantic. I mean,
Speaker 1: was there any chemistry between you two, like you're watching
Speaker 1: a show. Nothing happened, There was no. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: a good chemistry at the beginning of it. But like
Speaker 1: as the of anticipation for this nightmare burger that we've
Speaker 1: been waiting for and talking about for weeks, just ros,
Speaker 1: I just got nervous. Wow, so the horrible food that
Speaker 1: you planned to make was so horrible that it actually
Speaker 1: ruined the day. Yeah, rose emotionally as well. How did
Speaker 1: you anything that night? Well? I got real nervous, and
Speaker 1: I was like, you don't play a board game? So
Speaker 1: I started pulling some that and stuff, but she wasn't
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, I mean, I don't want to fly
Speaker 1: to a new city to play board games. Inside her
Speaker 1: out at that point, showing her around. Let's go to
Speaker 1: a real restaurant. Yeah, some good food. I don't know,
Speaker 1: playing candy Land with a stranger in his apartment could
Speaker 1: be kind of fun. That sounds like Facebook, honestly. So
Speaker 1: did you guys meet up the next day? Nah? She
Speaker 1: took her early flight home and that was it. Oh,
Speaker 1: even paid the change fee to make it happen. You're
Speaker 1: desperate to get out when that happens looking kind of
Speaker 1: bleak at the moment, but we've started off with worse.
Speaker 1: Do you like her still? Yeah? Of course. I mean
Speaker 1: that's why I reached out. I mean I want another chance.
Speaker 1: That's something that isn't gonna go terrible. Well, and you
Speaker 1: had chemistry the very beginning before you cooked, you said
Speaker 1: you felt the same chemistry. So there's something there, but
Speaker 1: you got to you gotta find it. Bro, We're gonna
Speaker 1: help you find it. We're gonna play a song. We'll
Speaker 1: come back Hall Samantha for you and get your second
Speaker 1: date update right after this. All right, awesome? Thanks? All right?
Speaker 1: Hold on, how do two people hundreds of miles apart
Speaker 1: have a common bond? I'll tell you how it sounds deep, Jeffrey,
Speaker 1: it's through gross looking food. Yeah, because that's where they met.
Speaker 1: On a Facebook group dedicated to ugly meals talking about
Speaker 1: Eric and Samantha. They both commented on the same chili
Speaker 1: burger and sparks flew from there. It's it isn't life
Speaker 1: amazing that people can connect that way? Now? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: actually do love that any type of food. I will
Speaker 1: continue to stay on Facebook. This didn't do it for you.
Speaker 1: Flash forward to their wedding, and it's like, I married
Speaker 1: this woman because we both commented on a burger that
Speaker 1: looks like it was found in an outhouse at coach
Speaker 1: this woman. I mean er, you guys are getting way
Speaker 1: ahead of yourself. We couldn't even get through one successful
Speaker 1: night after he paid for a plane ticket. You can
Speaker 1: focus on all the negative stuff, but I think life
Speaker 1: is pretty great. Oh that's good, Jeff. I start imagining
Speaker 1: their six chili king. Yeah, it might not be that
Speaker 1: great because they did try to recreate the recipe that
Speaker 1: they saw online, which took so long that Samantha left
Speaker 1: and went back to her hotel and then rebooked her
Speaker 1: flight home for the next morning. What's your take on
Speaker 1: this type of mess? You love? Maybe she just wasn't
Speaker 1: as dedicated to gross food as you thought, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying, Eric, you hear that you're
Speaker 1: too good for her. She actually likes attractive food. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we have a great conversation for like multiple
Speaker 1: weeks about it, so I think we're on the same page. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true, you guys, just a long way for that
Speaker 1: still to be a thing, though, Like the joker should
Speaker 1: have ended yeah, did you connect over other things? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about a bunch of stuff over
Speaker 1: the phone and via text, the stuff. Yeah, broke a
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff. Yeah, stuff. But all right, now we're
Speaker 1: going to ask her a bunch of stuff when we
Speaker 1: call Samantha and try and get the second Date update
Speaker 1: for you. All right, Eric, here we go. Yeah, definitely please,
Speaker 1: And like I know, you guys normally do like gift
Speaker 1: cards or something, but if you could get her just
Speaker 1: a flight out, that'd be great. You looked at a
Speaker 1: radio station's budget lately, Yeah, here's three hundred Delta gift cards. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll work on it. Okay, let's just dial her number
Speaker 1: and see what she has to say. Here we go. Hello,
Speaker 1: Hey is this Samantha. Yeah, Hey Samantha. What's up? This
Speaker 1: is Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean not listen. I don't know. I don't know if
Speaker 1: we're on in your city. Yeah, we're on in a
Speaker 1: lot of cities. Samantha Radio show high a radio show. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And we do a segment here called a second Date Update,
Speaker 1: and we're trying to help one of our listeners get
Speaker 1: in touch with you after you went. You went out
Speaker 1: really far from him, You flew three hundred miles to
Speaker 1: hang out with him. Eric called you. Yes, Yes, he thanks,
Speaker 1: You're fantastic. That's so weird. Really why, I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like it sounds like he went long ways to make
Speaker 1: sure that you could come visit him. He played for well,
Speaker 1: technically she went along, But you guys had a big connection,
Speaker 1: Like why would you say yes to an entire weekend
Speaker 1: with somebody if you didn't. Oh my god, this is
Speaker 1: like really arkwerd to talk about this generally, But like,
Speaker 1: I don't even know if you guys are real people
Speaker 1: like you got us we are robots so bad only
Speaker 1: a human could have possibly come up with that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're real. We're real, and we're seriously trying to help
Speaker 1: out one of our listeners because he's really confused after
Speaker 1: your hangout. He does not know why you ran back
Speaker 1: to your hotel and then booked a flight home the
Speaker 1: next morning. Yeah, I know, but like, did Eric tell
Speaker 1: you the story? I don't know. I mean, we heard
Speaker 1: about your guys are going to make a chili burger
Speaker 1: at his apartment and it was taking way longer than expected,
Speaker 1: started to get late. He tried pulling out some board
Speaker 1: games and you had to go. That's all we really know. Oh,
Speaker 1: I had to go because he kept asking me to
Speaker 1: stay the night. And that was the first time we met,
Speaker 1: right he said he mentioned that he told you he
Speaker 1: could stay, but he kept asking me, and I was like, Eric,
Speaker 1: I don't know you, like, this has been a nice date.
Speaker 1: And he was like pouting. He was like doing the
Speaker 1: guy thing of like, oh, but like you came out here,
Speaker 1: like I really like hanging out with you all of that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was making you feel guilty about it. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't even know you, like you almost
Speaker 1: like you invited me here in your fall sweet tenses. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was understandable. We did not know that he made
Speaker 1: you feel that way. And honestly, I don't know if
Speaker 1: Eric realizes he made you feel that way either, But
Speaker 1: we can ask him right now because he's on the
Speaker 1: other line listening and wants to talk to you. Yeah. Hey,
Speaker 1: I didn't need to make you feel uncomfortable. It's just
Speaker 1: trying to be aspitable, and it's all the fact that
Speaker 1: I wasn't like answering you to talk. Staffer should say something,
Speaker 1: Oh all right, cool. All right, Cool, it's hard. You're
Speaker 1: not a man of many words. Maybe you should have
Speaker 1: like talk to her more. I mean, maybe that's why
Speaker 1: she felt uncomfortable, because the only thing that was coming
Speaker 1: out of your mouth was that question, over and over again.
Speaker 1: Were you drinking that night? Maybe you forgot that you
Speaker 1: asked that question. Yeah, I guess. I mean I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that rude to offer someone to
Speaker 1: not have to go drive their car rental car around
Speaker 1: a city they all know. Yeah, but I said that
Speaker 1: I didn't want to stay, So I'm actually really glad
Speaker 1: I got a hotel because well kind of possession? Whatd
Speaker 1: that put me in? You know? Oh you paid for
Speaker 1: your own hotel? Yeah? Okay, but I mean I had
Speaker 1: a spare bed room for you. I guess I didn't
Speaker 1: really go into the details about everything, but probably should have. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't even have done that. I don't
Speaker 1: know you. I'm like single going into a new city
Speaker 1: that I don't know. And then, like it would have
Speaker 1: been different if we were like boyfriend girlfriend, like officially dating,
Speaker 1: but we learned and this was just like a first
Speaker 1: time thing. Okay, Well, well do you want to be
Speaker 1: my girlfriend, I don't think that was what she meant,
Speaker 1: although it is a good question. Would you have an
Speaker 1: answer for him, samanthat it not like that. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to do that over the radio. Sorry, the radio
Speaker 1: wasn't good. Maybe should text her the question. I don't
Speaker 1: think that he was purposely trying to make you feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: But Eric, I do think if you're going to invite
Speaker 1: a woman into your city, you have to go the
Speaker 1: extra mile to make sure if she feels safe and
Speaker 1: that she feels comfortable. Coming from someone who has offered
Speaker 1: and flown girls out to cities, Okay, they have a hotel,
Speaker 1: expect you do your thing. It's all about communication. Show
Speaker 1: them that gesture. Take the front door off of the hinge,
Speaker 1: just so that you can get out whenever you want.
Speaker 1: It is wide open. I mean, Sam, maybe it just
Speaker 1: didn't cross his mind, you know, like guys don't have
Speaker 1: to think about that when they go into new cities
Speaker 1: to meet people. Yeah. Yeah, Well, I mean I feel
Speaker 1: like I've just totally screwed the pooch on this one
Speaker 1: and there's no real recovery. But I mean I'd still
Speaker 1: like to have a second chance. Was that a. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I heard in there. I heard something about poop screwing,
Speaker 1: but let's call it. I'm sorry. No, this is just
Speaker 1: too weird. I feel like it doesn't make sense to
Speaker 1: like have strangers i've never met speaking for him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it is one of those things. You got
Speaker 1: to go with your gut on this, and that's that's
Speaker 1: what your gut's telling you. Well, I just don't want
Speaker 1: this potential relationship to go down in flames. Because so
Speaker 1: few people in this world actually bond over gross food.
Speaker 1: There's a whole page for it, Jeffrey. It seems like
Speaker 1: there's like hundreds of thousands. Yea, how many of them
Speaker 1: actually fall in love? Yeah, that's none. Apparently they didn't
Speaker 1: think we wanted it to be one. Okay, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I really wanted to try a meatball shake that
Speaker 1: I saw with her. No, Eric, I think we're done here, Samantha,
Speaker 1: because we would offer to pay for that meatball shake
Speaker 1: on your second day. I think I can afford to
Speaker 1: make a meatball shake on my own. Yeah, we were
Speaker 1: talking to money bags. Samantha makes her own meat balls. Jeffrey,
Speaker 1: excuse me, it's broken, Jeffrey in the morning. Well, that
Speaker 1: may have been the most cringe worthy moment of the
Speaker 1: entire year. It would have been different if we were
Speaker 1: like boyfriend girlfriend, like officially dating, but we weren't, and
Speaker 1: this is just like a first time thing. Well, well,
Speaker 1: do you want to be my girlfriend? You play it?
Speaker 1: What if he's listening right now, he should. I had
Speaker 1: to live through it once. He's the one who said it. Honestly,
Speaker 1: thank god she said no to that, because if that worked,
Speaker 1: I would have thrown my headphones down and been like,
Speaker 1: I'm done with this job. Isn't really that easy? What
Speaker 1: happened to you? All? Rooting for love? Had love? He
Speaker 1: didn't even sound like he was into there for most
Speaker 1: of the call. Yeah, it doesn't sound like he's a
Speaker 1: guy who's like super passionate maybe about anything, like I
Speaker 1: don't be a romantic Yeah yeah, I mean I feel
Speaker 1: like he learned a lot from this, For example, not
Speaker 1: pressuring people to stay at his house when they don't
Speaker 1: want to people feel comfortable. Yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 1: he actually learned that lesson. Yeah, his lessons like next
Speaker 1: time ask her to be my girlfriend, yeah, I fly
Speaker 1: her out. Yeah, but we can help. You learned some
Speaker 1: important life lessons in your dating life. You just make
Speaker 1: fun of you afterwards. Sure, we'll do it all. Just
Speaker 1: emailed the show. We'll call the person who wasn't calling
Speaker 1: you back Brook and Jeffrey in the morning
