Speaker 1: Second date updated most of the time. If money is
Speaker 1: exchanged in return for a date, oh god jah, that
Speaker 1: can be viewed as kind of sketchy.
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of illegal.
Speaker 1: Not for me, though. That's why I always walk around
Speaker 1: with seven different money clips full of many denominations in
Speaker 1: multiple types of currencies from all around the world, because
Speaker 1: you never know.
Speaker 2: Just to be ready, Oh you're.
Speaker 1: Willing to do that for eight hundred Barbadian dollars, you're
Speaker 1: in lux sir. I just happened to have that right here.
Speaker 2: Is it actually the currency of Barbados?
Speaker 1: Check Barbadiana. You'll never know. And one of our listeners
Speaker 1: said in their email a money exchange was attempted for
Speaker 1: a date with her. It might have something to do
Speaker 1: with why she's not seeing this person right now, but
Speaker 1: she definitely wants to get a hold of them. Let's
Speaker 1: talk to Mela about it. Mila, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hi, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, this setup to all of this makes
Speaker 4: it sound so sketchy.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, when you say it like that, I guess.
Speaker 1: But there's no shame in doing like a sketchy money
Speaker 1: exchange for a date.
Speaker 2: I think there is some shame.
Speaker 3: If you're happy with the amount with pride me though.
Speaker 1: Okay, to tell us about this person that you met
Speaker 1: and how this money exchange happened or almost happened.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I met the sky Sam at a charity auction.
Speaker 3: It's basically I'm trying to raise money building a new
Speaker 3: community center.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 3: So part of the event was auctioning off gate.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I participated in something like this once
Speaker 4: and it was so nerve wracking.
Speaker 2: Were you being auctioned Yes?
Speaker 4: And I'm like, please so much just been This is
Speaker 4: gonna be so embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Was it weird that your husband didn't even put his hand?
Speaker 1: Oh my god?
Speaker 4: So wait, were you being auctioned off or was he
Speaker 4: being auctioned off?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, I was auctioned, I will say, and I maybe shouldn't.
Speaker 1: I was auctioned off once and I actually ended up
Speaker 1: getting drunk with the person on our date and we
Speaker 1: had the greatest time. But wow, it's going to actually
Speaker 1: be a date. They we're supposed to not be real dates.
Speaker 1: It's a room of experienced date auctions. How have you
Speaker 1: been sold? I have not been sold. No, I'm the buyer.
Speaker 1: But Anila, How did you feel when you were being
Speaker 1: put up like that? Were you nervous?
Speaker 3: Of course I was nervous, especially because I met this
Speaker 3: cute guy. Like part of it was a silent auction,
Speaker 3: and during that time I met Sam and he was
Speaker 3: very sweet and he made me laugh. He made me
Speaker 3: feel less nervous about the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you guys talked about it. You talked about
Speaker 2: how you were up for auction before a date week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: So then he asked me like, hey, what number are
Speaker 3: you in the auction? And I was like, well, be
Speaker 3: prepared though, because you're gonna have to take out a
Speaker 3: second mortgage. I'm not cheap.
Speaker 1: It's a little scary. It is for a good cause,
Speaker 1: showing interest that he wants to bid on you before
Speaker 1: it happens. That's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, and it was luckily that joke landed well.
Speaker 3: So okay, it made me a lot of hope. But
Speaker 3: of course, the worst possible thing happened. What Sam starts
Speaker 3: bidding on me. Great love that we knew that was
Speaker 3: going to happen. But then my freaking ex boyfriend comes
Speaker 3: into play. But bitting again, what why would he do that?
Speaker 3: So stupid he wants to get back together with me.
Speaker 4: Did Sam ever know that was your ex? Or was
Speaker 4: it just like a bidding war with a guy he
Speaker 4: didn't know?
Speaker 2: Hopefully?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he knew.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's good. I mean, honestly, it kind of hypes
Speaker 2: you up, you.
Speaker 1: Know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: But it also could have been good if he knew
Speaker 1: that it was the X because it's like she was
Speaker 1: so amazing, all the exes want her back. I would
Speaker 1: stop red flag.
Speaker 3: Drama.
Speaker 2: Okay, did he who won the date?
Speaker 3: My ex one.
Speaker 2: He loves? Did you actually verbally say yuck? When he won?
Speaker 3: You start crying on stage? Well, it's obviously for charity,
Speaker 3: so I didn't want to seem perturbed by who won. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it wasn't like it was a bad relationship either, like
Speaker 3: the relationship had just run its course.
Speaker 2: It's just bad that he can't get over it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Can we ask how much money you went for? Is
Speaker 1: that a rude question?
Speaker 2: No, it's no, it's not room at all.
Speaker 3: And I, for the record, definitely think I'm worth more
Speaker 3: than this amount. Osay, Okay, it was two thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say twenty grand, but okay.
Speaker 2: It's respectable charities do you go to.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say what the Illuminati does and
Speaker 1: does not do. The two thousand is great, that's a
Speaker 1: good amount of cash.
Speaker 4: But with your ax, Yeah, but it sucks because then
Speaker 4: you have to go out with your ex. Did you
Speaker 4: already go out with him?
Speaker 3: No? I didn't. I'm not looking forward to it, but
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make it very clim You know that this
Speaker 3: is Jeff for charity.
Speaker 1: But what happened after the auction ended with Sam? Were
Speaker 1: you able to like reconnect with him and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: I actually like was hoping you would win.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I told him that, and I was actually able
Speaker 3: to get his phone number later on through my supervisor.
Speaker 4: There we go telling you that he's like, what, I
Speaker 4: get a free date?
Speaker 2: Awesome?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I haven't contacted him yet. I was hoping
Speaker 3: that maybe you guys could help me out.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, are we going to call him and
Speaker 1: convince him to ask you out somehow? Why did you
Speaker 1: just ask him out?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm nervous. It's a crazy night and I love you
Speaker 3: guys so much, and I know he loved your show too,
Speaker 3: so I figured this might be the best way.
Speaker 1: Maybe we could frame it like the other date fell
Speaker 1: through and so he can like step in if he
Speaker 1: wants to be more like official.
Speaker 4: Is that he's gonna think that he still ows two
Speaker 4: thousand dollars back.
Speaker 1: Well, then we'll take the two thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Okay, now we're.
Speaker 2: Talking to the Brook and Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have needs, but okay, the whole point is
Speaker 1: we need to ask out Sam for you, And is
Speaker 1: gonna be so easy?
Speaker 2: Like why would he say no?
Speaker 3: I guess I'm kind of surprised that he didn't find
Speaker 3: a way to get my number, But I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe he felt like it wouldn't have been the right
Speaker 3: time since I was literally bought by somebody else.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wonder if you somehow could just
Speaker 1: vibe and tell that was your ax or something, and
Speaker 1: he's just like, look, I'm gonna let them.
Speaker 4: Or somebody else from the foundation that you work with,
Speaker 4: like let it slip, because I'm sure some of your
Speaker 4: coworkers knew it.
Speaker 1: They're probably getting back together. These are all questions that
Speaker 1: we can ask him when we come back, call him
Speaker 1: and try and get the second date update and ask
Speaker 1: why he didn't think you were worth more than two
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Yeah, we're going to do it right after
Speaker 1: this second date update, coming up to the auction stage.
Speaker 6: She's a five foot six brunette but five foot nine
Speaker 6: and heels. She's got a sharp sense of humor with
Speaker 6: limited baggage, except for the ex boyfriend who follows her
Speaker 6: around to charity events and tries to win it back.
Speaker 1: Her name is Mela. Now let's start the bidding at
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars. Oh, I hear fourteen million? Fourteen million?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, all right, I'm going a bit on
Speaker 1: it sold.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that was actually official, Mila.
Speaker 4: Yeah for you, you just want a lot of money
Speaker 4: or like four bitcoins?
Speaker 1: I know you're worth Mela.
Speaker 2: How do you feel, Ameila?
Speaker 3: I feel really good now that you guys just gave
Speaker 3: me a proper bit, is right?
Speaker 1: I know I'm joking around, but Mela's actual day really
Speaker 1: wasn't too far off from what just happened there. Because
Speaker 1: Mila was trying to help raise money for her local
Speaker 1: community center, she was in an auction wanted a guy
Speaker 1: named Sam who was there to win her because they
Speaker 1: had a little flirtation before the event started. Unfortunately, Mela's
Speaker 1: ex would not let that happen. He showed up and
Speaker 1: stole her away for the price of two grand.
Speaker 2: Heisa, wow has money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he doesn't like that much and wants to
Speaker 1: support the local community. But the good news is Mila
Speaker 1: was able to get Sam's number. That's the guy she
Speaker 1: really wanted to go out with. So we're about to
Speaker 1: call him here, and I was thinking we probably when
Speaker 1: we get him on the phone, should not tell him
Speaker 1: that the guy that he was bidding against was his ex.
Speaker 2: Did you have to say that part out loud?
Speaker 1: What is dot?
Speaker 2: Jeffrey was gonna mention it. Yeah, you're gonna blow up her.
Speaker 1: Spy sometimes, you know, I like to brainstorm with everybody
Speaker 1: in the room. Don't do that with you.
Speaker 3: I was thinking the same thing. Let's not mention it, right, Okay.
Speaker 1: We're all in agreement. It was all my idea. So
Speaker 1: now we're gonna call this guy Sam for you. Okay's
Speaker 1: number right now? Hello, Hi, we're looking to speak with Sam.
Speaker 5: This is Sam.
Speaker 1: Hey, Sam, nice to meet you. You're on a radio
Speaker 1: show right now called Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: Okay, what an experience.
Speaker 4: We often auctioned this type of experience off at charity
Speaker 4: events that.
Speaker 1: Wasn't as smooth as it head. I'm pretty sure Sam
Speaker 1: has no idea what you so, Sam, Sorry for the
Speaker 1: confusion here. We're doing a segment with you called a
Speaker 1: second date Update.
Speaker 5: Okay, And the.
Speaker 1: Reason that my co host eloquently broke you spilled something
Speaker 1: about auction stuff is because one of our listeners met
Speaker 1: you recently at a charity auction for a local community center.
Speaker 1: Do you remember me?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah. Did you meet any cute ladies there?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 5: Actually, there was one in particular I really liked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, was her name Brooke? Brooke doesn't do a
Speaker 1: lot of it to snatch up his gentleman as she can.
Speaker 2: He didn't say, He didn't say drunk lady. He said lady.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking about a girl named Mela. Is that
Speaker 1: the one you're thinking of?
Speaker 5: That is the one I'm thinking.
Speaker 2: She super serious and I just heard your smile.
Speaker 5: When we said her name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what did you like about Mela?
Speaker 5: Mela was just breathtaking. She stood out from the crowd,
Speaker 5: really cute. I don't know. We just had a really
Speaker 5: good chemistry and uh oh she was just sweet, just
Speaker 5: really relatable.
Speaker 1: You know, was so sweet and so relatable and so breathtaking,
Speaker 1: But not breathtaking enough to spend more than two thousand
Speaker 1: dollars on her. I'm just saying. I mean, you we
Speaker 1: heard that you didn't win when it came time for
Speaker 1: her to be bid on a date with her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was another guy outbid me.
Speaker 3: So bummer.
Speaker 2: What were you feeling when that was happening.
Speaker 5: It was kind of intense. I mean I didn't have
Speaker 5: tens of thousands of dollars to spend on a date,
Speaker 5: So yeah.
Speaker 1: It sounds like that guy had a lot of money.
Speaker 2: You really, she's not actually a thing an item. You
Speaker 2: can just ask her out afterwards.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, but right after somebody bid on her,
Speaker 5: I don't think that was the right time to go
Speaker 5: up and ask her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well if you don't want to do it in
Speaker 1: front of the person that just spent all this money
Speaker 1: trying to get her.
Speaker 2: But these things are your actual romance. I mean, they're
Speaker 2: just like.
Speaker 1: Work where they are. Yeah, they're not supposed to did
Speaker 1: you have any plans though, like maybe after the event
Speaker 1: to try and reach out to her or something like that.
Speaker 5: He is definitely was on my mind. So funny thing
Speaker 5: happened was after the auction was over, I went over
Speaker 5: and talked to the guy that outbid me.
Speaker 2: Oh you did?
Speaker 6: Oh wow?
Speaker 1: Did you run up your sleeves and say best man wins?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Let's oh.
Speaker 5: I mean, like I said, I really had a connection
Speaker 5: with me l IF. I went and talked to the
Speaker 5: guy and it turns out he was her ex boyfriend.
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh no, wow, whoa that is news?
Speaker 2: Come on, we knew that.
Speaker 1: Okay, to be honest, we heard that that was the.
Speaker 2: Case and she was super disappointed.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, I mean I tell her was bad. I
Speaker 5: mean he was like really trying to get back to her.
Speaker 5: He was getting all teary eyed talking about how much
Speaker 5: missed her, and I kind of just I felt bad
Speaker 5: for him, so I kind of consoled him a little
Speaker 5: bit and I told him that to move on. I mean,
Speaker 5: obviously it's over. It's over, so so.
Speaker 2: You're kind of being a bro at this point.
Speaker 1: That was that was a good message, give a little
Speaker 1: post relationship therapy.
Speaker 2: Did he listen to you? Has he moved on?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Well, I mean it took a little bit of
Speaker 5: a bribe, so I actually ended up paying him for
Speaker 5: the date, so I reimbursed him plus a little bit extra. Wait,
Speaker 5: what by the date of Mila off of him?
Speaker 2: Why does Mela not know this?
Speaker 5: Well, it's going to be a surprise, like people's going
Speaker 5: to date, so I'm going to show up in stead.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me by not saying one thing? We
Speaker 1: ruined that?
Speaker 2: That's actually really cute and really sweet.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, dude. The reason why we're reacting this way
Speaker 1: no idea that this plane was going to happen. And
Speaker 1: we actually have Mela waiting on the other line listening,
Speaker 1: wanting to talk to you, sur dude. I'm so sorry, but.
Speaker 5: Are you there? It was going to be a nice surprise.
Speaker 5: I was looking forward to saying.
Speaker 4: We feel bad already, Mela, Mela, No, I'm still surprised.
Speaker 3: I'm so surprised. That's so sweet.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5: Get to see your reaction in person.
Speaker 1: But wait, wait, hold on, Mela, Mela, are you okay
Speaker 1: with this? I'm sure.
Speaker 3: You guys are so sweet. Like, I know you feel
Speaker 3: bad for like ruining the surprise, but I'm so happy
Speaker 3: right now I'm speechless.
Speaker 1: Are you sure? Yeah? Are you sure, Mela? Because we
Speaker 1: can get your ex on the phone and convince him
Speaker 1: to let's see how high we can go with this,
Speaker 1: like twenty five.
Speaker 5: He's gonna have to pay me a lot if he
Speaker 5: wants that date back.
Speaker 2: I feel like you.
Speaker 4: Need to start calling more exes of just other random
Speaker 4: people if you're able to convince them.
Speaker 2: So like move on.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, not unless that Mela's.
Speaker 1: X or like a couple's counseling. I honestly, if you
Speaker 1: move over my ex?
Speaker 2: How were you planning on telling her?
Speaker 5: I was gonna just come to the date.
Speaker 1: I mean it was all, yeah, you're just gonna be
Speaker 1: like sitting at the table, and she was going to
Speaker 1: walk in and instead of the ex, it was going
Speaker 1: to be you.
Speaker 2: But this is going to get more ready, I care
Speaker 2: about the date? Yeah, yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
Speaker 1: What she would have worn before? Yeah, because Mela, you
Speaker 1: weren't going to try if it was going to be
Speaker 1: the ex at all?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, not at all.
Speaker 5: I'm sure Mela would have looked amazing no matter of
Speaker 5: what you're wearing.
Speaker 6: Sick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now I'm giving a little nauseous.
Speaker 1: So, well, what we normally do is we offer to
Speaker 1: send you guys out on a date that we would
Speaker 1: pay for that.
Speaker 2: They're going to go on two dates now.
Speaker 1: After the date that you've already paid for, would you
Speaker 1: like to go on another date after that and we'll
Speaker 1: pay for that.
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh my god, he is so too. He's already
Speaker 2: planning the next days.
Speaker 1: So cute, well Brook, Technically I plan this so I
Speaker 1: get ownership of it.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, technically the X plan the first one.
Speaker 1: So you're really have to step up your game here. Okay, Sam,
Speaker 1: You're not doing a whole lot over there.
Speaker 7: I'll try my best spear cut brooking Jeffrey in the
Speaker 7: morning and the award for the cutest couple in a

Speaker 1: five nine to a lot of os with like twenty
Speaker 1: ws afterwards, one said best ruined surprise ever.
Speaker 4: We didn't know and he wasn't even mad that he
Speaker 4: spent the two grands.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like he could have been, like, what she was gonna
Speaker 2: go out with me anyway?
Speaker 1: What I spent on my money for more than that
Speaker 1: I knew we could. But anyway, I can't wait to
Speaker 1: hear from them again. As long as their update is
Speaker 1: and that the X showed up to the date anyway
Speaker 1: and decided to fight for her, that could be entertaining. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, I would like to hear.
Speaker 2: He doesn't sound like a fighter. He sounds like more
Speaker 2: of a crier. Yeah, he's like with check Bounce.
