Speaker 2: Basically, I will it lives up to the gross food
Speaker 2: filter that you needed to post. Pretty disgusting.
Speaker 1: How did you guys start talking about it?

Speaker 4: put that in my faith, and I was like, Bucks,
Speaker 4: can I watch.
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 2: Guys were meant for each other? Because after I saw that, Wow,
Speaker 2: that's a visual.
Speaker 3: It just looks gross.
Speaker 2: So did you actually, like you actually parlayed that into
Speaker 2: a date?
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, sort of. I mean we started DMN for
Speaker 4: a while and I really did want to hang out,
Speaker 4: but she told me that she doubted I could actually
Speaker 4: watched her eat it because they've like three hundred miles apart.
Speaker 2: Oh right, I was gonna say, like, what are the
Speaker 2: chances you're in the same city.
Speaker 1: That's what video chat dates are for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that what you guys did? Uh?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: So we stayed friends on Facebook for a few weeks
Speaker 4: and mostly just talk about food and getting to know
Speaker 4: each other and stuff. And I was finally like, Hey,
Speaker 4: what if I fly you out over my way and
Speaker 4: we try to cut the chili burger together? Nice?
Speaker 1: Oh, we're going to cook that thing together.
Speaker 2: Fly that's what you're thinking. I think she's going to
Speaker 2: spend a whole weekend with a stranger that she met
Speaker 2: on Facebook.
Speaker 3: Will get a hotel or he can get her a hotel.
Speaker 1: They also talked for a few weeks, he said before
Speaker 1: he made that offer, right.
Speaker 4: Still like a lot of time with but so she
Speaker 4: was kind of surprised, but she eventually said okay, and
Speaker 4: we showed the weekend to do it.
Speaker 2: Wow, so you guys spend a whole weekend together?
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of.
Speaker 2: What was it like when you picked her up at
Speaker 2: the airport?
Speaker 4: Well, I offer heard, but she didn't want me to.
Speaker 2: Oh you know, she tried to get or she just
Speaker 2: tried to get three weekend vacation.
Speaker 3: But I'm ubering into the hotel.
Speaker 1: I'll be fine.
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 3: That's a good point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, when did you guys finally meet up?
Speaker 4: She came over to my place and we have the
Speaker 4: same chemistry that we had online.
Speaker 1: Nice, that's really important, dude.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but then the disappointment started.
Speaker 2: Why he was disappointed both of you or both of us.
Speaker 4: Yeah. The recipe was just awful. So the one that
Speaker 4: we found said that you should bake the burger, like
Speaker 4: the raw meat and the chili and the cheese and
Speaker 4: everything together, all wrapped inside a tinfoil.
Speaker 2: Oh, so discussion.
Speaker 1: Wonder looks so awful in the picture.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're following recipes based on gross food pictures? Like,
Speaker 2: what do you expect to get to.
Speaker 3: The hilarious point right, like recreate?
Speaker 2: Why would you be disappointed?
Speaker 1: Like I get? I mean, how did that turn out?
Speaker 4: I mean after an hour it was a total mess,
Speaker 4: horrible and it just wasn't So I put it back
Speaker 4: in the oven and we tried cooking it some more
Speaker 4: and thought we eat again later, but she said it
Speaker 4: was getting late and she should go back to her hotel. Okay, wow,
Speaker 4: But I was like, you know, you can stay over,
Speaker 4: It's all right if you want.
Speaker 2: That sounds romantic. I mean, was there any chemistry between
Speaker 2: you two, like you're watching a show? Nothing happened, There
Speaker 2: was no.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a good kind of stry at the
Speaker 4: beginning of it. But like, as the anticipation for this
Speaker 4: nightmare burger that we've been waiting for and talking about
Speaker 4: for weeks, just rose, I just got nervous.
Speaker 1: Wow, so the horrible food that you planned to make
Speaker 1: was so horrible that it actually ruined the day?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Wow, that grows emotionally as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how did that night?
Speaker 4: Well? I got real nervous, and I was like, you
Speaker 4: want to play a board game? So I started pulling
Speaker 4: some that and stuff, but she wasn't into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to fly to a new city
Speaker 2: to play board games inside. I don't have taken her
Speaker 2: out at that point, shown her around.
Speaker 1: Let's go to a real restaurant.
Speaker 3: Yeah, get some good food.
Speaker 1: I don't know, playing candy Land with a stranger in
Speaker 1: his apartment could be kind of fun.
Speaker 2: That sounds like Facebook, honestly, circle. So did you guys
Speaker 2: meet up the next day?
Speaker 4: No, she took it early flight home and that was
Speaker 4: that ow wow.
Speaker 2: She even paid the change fee to make it happen.
Speaker 2: You're desperate to get out when that happened.
Speaker 1: There is a looking kind of bleak at the moment,
Speaker 1: but we've started off with worse.
Speaker 2: Do you like her still?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Of course. I mean that's why I reached out.
Speaker 4: I mean, I want another chance that something that isn't
Speaker 4: going to go terrible.
Speaker 3: And you had chemistry beginning before you cook. You said
Speaker 3: you felt the same chemistry. So there's something there, but
Speaker 3: you gotta find it.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 1: We're gonna help you find it. We're gonna play a song.
Speaker 1: We'll come back, call Samantha for you and get your
Speaker 1: second date update right after this.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 2: Sound deep, Jeffrey, It's.
Speaker 1: 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 burger,
Speaker 1: and sparks flew from there. It isn't like amazing that
Speaker 1: people can connect that way.
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I actually do love that any type of food.
Speaker 1: I will continue to stay off Facebook.
Speaker 2: This didn't do it for you.
Speaker 3: You don't belong there.
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 Coachell.
Speaker 1: I love this woman.
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys are getting way ahead of yourself.
Speaker 2: We couldn't even get through one successful night after he
Speaker 2: paid for a plane ticket.
Speaker 1: You can focus on all the negative stuff, but I
Speaker 1: think life is pretty great. That's good Jo.
Speaker 3: Chili cakes.
Speaker 1: It might not be that great because they did try
Speaker 1: to recreate the recipe that they saw online, which took
Speaker 1: so long that Samantha left and went back to her
Speaker 1: hotel and then rebooked her flight home for the next morning.
Speaker 1: What's your take on this type of mess? You love?
Speaker 2: Maybe she just wasn't as dedicated to gross food as
Speaker 2: you thought. Yeah, I mean, I'm just.
Speaker 1: Saying, can you hear that you're too good for her?
Speaker 2: She actually likes attractive food.
Speaker 4: I mean we have a great conversation for like multiple
Speaker 4: weeks of that, so I think we're on the same page.
Speaker 1: That's true, you guys, just a.
Speaker 2: Long way for that still to be a thing though,
Speaker 2: Like the jo should have ended. Yeah, did you connect
Speaker 2: over other things?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean we talked about a bunch of stuff over
Speaker 4: the phone and buy a text of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, broke a bunch of stuff. Okay, connect Yeah, stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, now we're going to ask her a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff when we call Samantha and try and get
Speaker 1: the second date update for you. All right, Eric, here
Speaker 1: we go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely please, And like I know, you guys normally
Speaker 4: do like gift cards or something, but if you could
Speaker 4: get her just a flight out, that would be great.
Speaker 2: Let's down, Eric, have you looked at a radio station's
Speaker 2: budget lately.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's three hundred Delta gift cards. Yeah, we'll work
Speaker 1: on it. Let's just dial her number and see what
Speaker 1: she has to say. Here we go. Hello, Hey is
Speaker 1: a Samantha. Yeah, hey, Samantha. What's up? This is Brook
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I may not listen.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're on in your city. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we're on in a lot of cities. Samantha show. Hi
Speaker 2: a radio show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And we do a segment here called a
Speaker 1: second Date Update, and we're trying to help one of
Speaker 1: our listeners get in touch with you. After you went.
Speaker 1: You went out really far from him. You flew three
Speaker 1: hundred miles to hang out with him.
Speaker 5: Eric called you.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he thanks, You're fantastic.
Speaker 4: That's so weird, really, I don't know, Like.
Speaker 2: It sounds like he went long ways to make sure
Speaker 2: that you could come visit him.
Speaker 1: He played for a technically she went a long way
Speaker 1: used him.
Speaker 2: But you guys had a big connection, Like why would
Speaker 2: you say yes to an entire weekend with somebody if
Speaker 2: you didn't.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, this is like really awkward to talk
Speaker 5: about this generally, but like, I don't even know if
Speaker 5: you guys are real people like you got.
Speaker 1: Us we are robots. It's so sorry. I loved it
Speaker 1: so bad. Only a human could have possibly come up
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're real.
Speaker 1: We're real, and we're seriously trying to help out one
Speaker 1: of our listeners because he's really confused after your hangout.
Speaker 1: He does not know why you ran back to your
Speaker 1: hotel and then booked a flight home the next morning.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, but like, did Eric tell you the story?
Speaker 1: I mean, we heard about your guys are going to
Speaker 1: make a chili berger at his apartment and it was
Speaker 1: taking way longer than expected, started to get late. He
Speaker 1: tried pulling out some board games, and you had to go.
Speaker 1: That's all we really know.
Speaker 2: He feels.
Speaker 5: I had to go because he kept asking me to
Speaker 5: stay the night. And that was the first time we.
Speaker 2: Met, right, he said, he mentioned that he told you
Speaker 2: he could stay, but.
Speaker 5: He kept asking me, and I was like, Eric, I
Speaker 5: don't know you, like this has been a nice date,
Speaker 5: and he was like pouting. He was like doing the
Speaker 5: guy thing of like, oh, but like you came out here,
Speaker 5: like I really like hanging out with you. All of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was making you feel guilty about it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm like, I don't even know you, like
Speaker 5: you almost like you invited me here and your false pretenses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's understandable.
Speaker 1: We did not know that he made you feel that way.
Speaker 1: And honestly, I don't know if Eric realizes he made
Speaker 1: you feel that way either, but we can ask him
Speaker 1: right now because he's on the other line listening and
Speaker 1: wants to talk to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Hey, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. I
Speaker 4: was just trying to be hospitable. And it's well the fact.
Speaker 5: That I wasn't like answering your track staffer should say something, Oh.
Speaker 1: All right, cool, all right, everybody, it's hard.
Speaker 2: You're not a man of many words. Maybe you should
Speaker 2: have like talked to her more. Maybe that's why she
Speaker 2: felt uncomfortable, because the only thing that was coming out
Speaker 2: 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.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess. I mean, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 4: think it's that rude to offer someone to not have
Speaker 4: to go drive their car rental car around a city
Speaker 4: they don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I said that I didn't want to stay.
Speaker 5: So I'm actually really glad I got a hotel because
Speaker 5: what kind of possession? What did that put me in?
Speaker 2: You know, Oh, you paid for your own hotel?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, but I mean I had to stare better
Speaker 4: room for you. I guess I didn't really go into
Speaker 4: the details about everything, but probably should have.
Speaker 5: Yeah, whoa, I mean, I wouldn't even have done that.
Speaker 5: I don't know you. I'm like single going into a
Speaker 5: new city that I don't know, and then like it
Speaker 5: would have been different if we were like boyfriend girlfriend,
Speaker 5: like officially dating, but we weren't, and this was just
Speaker 5: like a first time thing.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, well do you want to be my girlfriend?
Speaker 1: I don't think that was what she meant.
Speaker 2: I gotta say, although it is a.
Speaker 1: Good question, would you have an answer for him? Samantha,
Speaker 1: Stop it not like that.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to do that over the radio.
Speaker 1: Sorry, the radio move wasn't good. Maybe you should text
Speaker 1: her the question.
Speaker 2: I don't think that he was purposely trying to make
Speaker 2: you feel uncomfortable. But Eric, I do think if you're
Speaker 2: going to invite a woman into your city, you have
Speaker 2: to go the extra mile to make sure she feels
Speaker 2: safe and that she feels comfortable.
Speaker 3: Coming from someone who has offered and flown girls out
Speaker 3: to cities, Okay, you always make sure they know they
Speaker 3: have a hotel.
Speaker 1: No, absolutely not. You do your thing. It's all about communications.
Speaker 1: Show them that gesture. Take the front door off of
Speaker 1: the hinge, just so that you can get out whenever
Speaker 1: you want. It is wide open.
Speaker 2: I mean, Sam, maybe it just didn't cross his mind,
Speaker 2: you know, like guys don't have to think about that
Speaker 2: when they go into new cities to meet people.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, I mean I feel like I've just totally
Speaker 4: screwed the poocha on this one and there's no real recovery.
Speaker 4: But I mean, I'd still like to have a second chance.
Speaker 2: Was that a sorry I heard in there?
Speaker 1: I heard tell me about poop screwing. But let's call it.
Speaker 1: Let's call it.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. No, this is just too weird. I feel
Speaker 5: like it doesn't make sense to like have strangers I've
Speaker 5: never met speaking for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it is one of those things you
Speaker 2: got to go with your gut on this, and that's
Speaker 2: that's what your gut's telling you.
Speaker 1: Well, I just don't want this potential relationship to go
Speaker 1: down in flames because so few people in this world
Speaker 1: actually bond over gross food.
Speaker 2: There's a whole page for it, Johnny. It seems like
Speaker 2: there's like hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 1: How many of them actually fall in love?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's none, apparently.
Speaker 1: They We wanted it to be one, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean I really wanted to try all shake that
Speaker 4: I saw with her.
Speaker 5: No, Eric, I think we're done here.
Speaker 1: Samantha, because we would offer to pay for that meatball
Speaker 1: shape on your second day.
Speaker 5: I think I can afford a make a meet all
Speaker 5: shake on my own.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking to money bags.
Speaker 2: Samantha makes her own meatballs. Jeffrey excuse me, broken Jeffrey
Speaker 2: in the morning.
Speaker 1: Well, that may have been the most cringe worthy moment
Speaker 1: of the entire year.
Speaker 5: It would have been different if we were like boyfriend girlfriend,
Speaker 5: like officially dating, but we weren't, and this is just
Speaker 5: like a first time thing.
Speaker 4: Will do you want to be my girlfriend?
Speaker 2: What if he's listening right now? I had to live
Speaker 2: through at once.
Speaker 1: She's the one who said it. Honestly, thank god she
Speaker 1: said no to that, because if that worked, I would
Speaker 1: have thrown my headphones down and been like, I'm done
Speaker 1: with this job? Is it really that easy?
Speaker 2: What happened to you? All? Rooting for love again?
Speaker 1: He didn't even sound like he was into there for
Speaker 1: most of the call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't sound like he's a guy who's like
Speaker 2: super passionate maybe about anything.
Speaker 3: I don't know, to be a romance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I feel like he learned a
Speaker 2: lot from this, so for example, not pressuring people to
Speaker 2: stay at his house when they don't want to.
Speaker 1: Make people feel comfortable. Yeah, I don't know if he
Speaker 1: actually learned that lesson.
Speaker 3: Yeah, his lessons like, next time ask her to be
Speaker 3: my girlfriend, yeah, before I fly her out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we can help you learn some important life
Speaker 1: lessons in your dating life.
Speaker 2: You just make fun of you afterwards.
Speaker 1: Sure, we'll do it all. Just email the show. We'll
Speaker 1: call the person who isn't calling you back.
Speaker 2: Brooking Jeffrey in the morning,
