1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Are you single and burned out on dating apps? It's

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 2: Well you're not alone.

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, And we cover this topic quite a bit here

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: because of the second date calls that we do on

6
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: the show.

7
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 3: Not only that battle of the tender dates, people like

8
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 3: go against each other with their worst dating stories.

9
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we have a lot of dating stuff here.

10
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: But there's something called dating app fatigue, and it's a

11
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: real thing where people get real tired of swiping and

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: scrolling and chatting online forever and.

13
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: Ever and ever.

14
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 3: I know, I swear that Jose and Alexis are always

15
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: complaining about dating apps, but that's still kind of on them.

16
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: But then not, Yeah, they don't want you to find

17
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 3: love those dating apps. You don't go be out of

18
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 3: business if everybody finds love.

19
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 4: That's true.

20
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: So instead, events like speed dating and singles mixers and

21
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: other in person group parties are now making a huge comeback.

22
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: People want to finally get offline and find their potential

23
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: mate in person.

24
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: It's so funny that speak dating is now a good option.

25
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: It is like when speed dating first came out, people

26
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: were like what the hell is And now.

27
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 4: Young people are like, let me tell you something out

28
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 4: of the box. Person.

29
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: My god, I've hosted so many speed dating events in

30
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: my radio radio and they're so awkward.

31
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: But they're actually.

32
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: Getting more creative with these now, like, for example, in

33
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: spots around Chicago, they have something called Shuffle speed dating,

34
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: where you show up to the bar and then once

35
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: you're in, they send you a photo of a person

36
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: to your phone.

37
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: Okay, it's somebody in the bar.

38
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: You need to go around and find them and just

39
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: strike up a conversation for five minutes.

40
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: You know, there's at least three people just standing there

41
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 3: not looking like their photo.

42
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: They take the photo when you arrive, and then you

43
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: go find them and it's come for five minutes. Then

44
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: after five your phone dings to let you know times up,

45
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: and then you get a prompt to swipe right or

46
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: left on that person.

47
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: Ouch.

48
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: Well, that that makes so much more sense to meet

49
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: them in per den.

50
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Swipe, we'll just clear out.

51
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: It's like an uber like, you don't rate them until

52
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: you go on the ride first.

53
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: And this is good for me because I'll be crying

54
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 4: before she swipes right.

55
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: And after Oh that's good because she does it in

56
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 3: person now, so her it's just a little bit more

57
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: because you're.

58
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 4: Looking for me, like, Okay, my guy's crying by himself.

59
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: Then they'll send you a new photo of a different

60
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: person after that to go find in the bar. So

61
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a love scavenger hunt for the

62
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: whole night.

63
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: So you're getting the backups of the people that didn't

64
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: get swiped right on Alexis.

65
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: Would you go to a singles event like that one?

66
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: Assuming all the drinks are free for you and there's.

67
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: You can't ever say that drinks are free. She'll go

68
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: to anything.

69
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: It was a bad question, especially with the drinks.

70
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: There's another popular dating event in La called Game Night Socials,

71
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: where singles are meeting up at this giant warehouse with

72
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: tape of different games, like games like they have Jenga

73
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: at one table of cards against Humanity.

74
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: They've got Mario Kart.

75
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: Set up, and they're all simple games so you don't

76
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: have to spend twenty minutes learning the rules exactly.

77
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: So when you go around playing them as you meet

78
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: new people, and that's that's to see if you have

79
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: a connection that way.

80
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: Would you do that one, Jose?

81
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: I think I would, But it's dangerous that they have

82
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 4: video games incorporated, because I would just be on Mario

83
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: Kart and then I would hoard the games, and then

84
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: I'd be telling everyone how to play the game alone.

85
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 4: Probably get a.

86
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: Little competitive you start calling them news.

87
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: I'm like, look, I'm a streamer, and I'd be like

88
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 4: following me on kid.

89
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: It sounded fun, Intel Jose.

90
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: With that, we're back to the Mario.

91
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 4: I'll go back to the first event.

92
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: Experts are saying attendance that these in person events has

93
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: grown forty two percent in the last year, and it's

94
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: even higher now than it was pre pandemic.

95
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: Dude, I wondering why. So it is the burnout that's

96
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 4: gotta be it.

97
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, we sick of the day, like hold back the

98
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: hot people too for money?

99
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: It is.

100
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: So you think Game Night's gonna pull out all the audies.

101
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: But another huge thing that's blowing up are athletic dating events.

102
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: This sounds like pickleball dating meetups. Those are up one

103
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty three percent. Even spin class mixers one

104
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five percent work.

105
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure to spin class. That is like

106
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 2: it's dark, the music is so loud.

107
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: I guess maybe the bikes are like facing directly at

108
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: each other, and you pedal for a mile and then

109
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: switch one bike to the left heavily.

110
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: Let me clip for a second.

111
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: And now you might be wondering, Okay, so how are

112
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: all the dating apps dealing with the shift?

113
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 4: Yeah?

114
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: Are they trying to get into events now because of it?

115
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: We think about it, They were getting There's millions and

116
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: millions of people signing up to their apps just a

117
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and now the numbers are slumping,

118
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: like match Group, which is the people who own like Tinder.

119
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: And hand Sexy Dyslexics, all the popular just get onto

120
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: that you gotta want to find.

121
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: But since hitting their peak back in t went into anyone,

122
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: stock shares for those apps have lost eighty percent of

123
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: their value.

124
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, same with Bumble down eighty percent.

125
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 3: Wonder the Bubble owner just sold her like she's out,

126
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: She's like it done, take your billion dollars.

127
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: Because everybody's saying there's so many people on the apps

128
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: now that everybody kind of starts to look and talk

129
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: the same.

130
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean kind I mean because everyone's using Chat, GPT, probably.

131
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: Each other up, all using the same filters.

132
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 4: On the photos too, So exactly the.

133
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: Apps are also shifting, and they're trying to create in

134
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: person events.

135
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: Now we're weird.

136
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: Get us together.

137
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we are going back to full circle.

138
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: Like Bumble just launched.

139
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: Bumble I r L encourages singles to chat with people

140
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: in person at community service outings.

141
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: Oh that's a cool one.

142
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: Where you volunteer, then you meet people there.

143
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: Go pick up some trash off the freeway, then pick

144
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: up a date on your way home.

145
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: I'd be careful of that because not all the people picking.

146
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 2: Up trash freeway are free people and dates and days people.

147
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: Let's not get too picky, but people are dating like

00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 3: having your dad trade cows for you.

153
