Speaker 1: The second date of date. Nowadays, most people who are
Speaker 1: on Facebook use it to either stalk their exes to
Speaker 1: find out who they're dating now okay, purchase discount Chinese
Speaker 1: made products off the marketplace, or angrily screen their political
Speaker 1: beliefs in all caps while vowing to unfriend anyone who
Speaker 1: disagrees with them. Everything that's happening in the world.
Speaker 2: This all checks out, right, This all checks out, Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: Apparently there are some people who still use Facebook to
Speaker 1: find love.
Speaker 2: Are they are the category? Are they're not in a
Speaker 2: senior center?
Speaker 1: It could be because that's what happened to one of
Speaker 1: our listeners, Eric, Eric, which extremist chat group? Did you
Speaker 1: meet your lady?
Speaker 3: We met on the comment sections of a Facebook group
Speaker 3: called gross Food?
Speaker 2: Gross Food? I think that is the only thing left
Speaker 2: that's fun on Facebook are the funny groups. You can
Speaker 2: be part of.
Speaker 1: That and the Brook and Jeffrey Facebook page. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: should go follow if you haven't already. But tell us
Speaker 1: Eric about the girl that you met. What's her name?
Speaker 3: Samantha?
Speaker 1: Okay, Samantha.
Speaker 2: What's funny is that I wanted to ask first about
Speaker 2: the gross food that you both commented on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking that, Okay.
Speaker 2: What was it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was this chili burger and it just looks awful.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, someone's chili is like a weird brownish.
Speaker 2: Not a real photograph friendly food. That is definitely for sure.
Speaker 1: Actually, Eric sent us a picture of the so here
Speaker 1: it is. I printed it out. It was exactly. It
Speaker 1: looks like somebody took two buns and then reached into
Speaker 1: a port. Basically, I will.
Speaker 2: I mean, it lives up to the gross food filter
Speaker 2: that you needed to post. Pretty disgusting.
Speaker 1: How did you guys start talking about it?
Speaker 3: She was like, is it bad that I want to
Speaker 3: put that in my face? And I was like, twenty bucks?
Speaker 3: Can I watch?
Speaker 2: You? Guys were meant for each other because after I
Speaker 2: saw that, oh wow, that's a visual.
Speaker 4: I just looks gross.
Speaker 2: So did you actually like you actually parlayed that into
Speaker 2: a date.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, sort of. I mean we started dming for
Speaker 3: a while and I really did want to hang out,
Speaker 3: but she told me that she doubted I could actually
Speaker 3: watch her eat it because live 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 3: No? So we stayed friends on Facebook for a few
Speaker 3: weeks and mostly just talk about food and getting to
Speaker 3: know each other and stuff. And I was finally like, Hey,
Speaker 3: what if I fly you out over my way and
Speaker 3: we try to cook 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 4: 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.
Speaker 2: Rights still like a lot of time with one person.
Speaker 3: But so she was kind of surprised, but she eventually
Speaker 3: said okay, and we showed the weekend to do it.
Speaker 2: Wow, so you guys spent a whole weekend together.
Speaker 3: Yeah kind of.
Speaker 2: What was it like when you picked her up at
Speaker 2: the airport?
Speaker 3: Well, I offered, but she didn't want me to.
Speaker 2: Oh she's just trying to get or she just tried
Speaker 2: to get a free weekend vacation.
Speaker 4: But I'm ubering into the hotel.
Speaker 1: I'll be fine.
Speaker 2: 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 Startinah.
Speaker 2: I mean, when did you guys finally meet up?
Speaker 3: She came over to my place and we have the
Speaker 3: same chemistry that we had online.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 4: Good, that's really important dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then the disappointment started.
Speaker 2: Oh why who was disappointed? Both of you?
Speaker 1: Both of us?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the recipe was just awful. So the one that
Speaker 3: we found said that you should bake the burger, like
Speaker 3: the raw meat and the chili and the cheese and
Speaker 3: everything together, all wrapped inside a tinfoil.
Speaker 1: Oh, it sounds.
Speaker 2: So and disgusting in the picture. I mean you're following
Speaker 2: recipes based on gross food pictures? Like what do you
Speaker 2: expect to get to.
Speaker 4: The hilarious point?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Like, let's recreate?
Speaker 2: Why would you be disappointed?
Speaker 1: Like I get? I mean, how did that turn out?
Speaker 3: I mean after an hour it was a total mess,
Speaker 3: horrible and it just wasn't so I put it back
Speaker 3: in the oven and we tried cooking it some more
Speaker 3: and thought we eat again later, but she said it
Speaker 3: was getting late and she should get back to her hotel. Okay, wow,
Speaker 3: but I was like, you know, you can stay over,
Speaker 3: 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 3: Yeah, it was a good kind of stry at the
Speaker 3: beginning of it. But like as the anticipation for this
Speaker 3: nightmare burger that we've been waiting for and talking about
Speaker 3: for weeks, just rose, I just got nervous.
Speaker 2: Wo.
Speaker 1: So the horrible food that you plan to make was
Speaker 1: so horrible that it actually ruined the day?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Wow, that grows emotionally as well.
Speaker 1: How did doings that night?
Speaker 3: Well? I got real nervous, and I was like, you
Speaker 3: want to play a board game? So I started pulling
Speaker 3: some that and stuff, but she wasn't into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't want to fly to a
Speaker 2: new city to play board games.
Speaker 1: Inside.
Speaker 2: You have taken her out at that point, shown her around.
Speaker 1: Let's go to a real restaurant. 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 1: No?
Speaker 3: She took it early. Flight home and that was it.
Speaker 2: Sometimes she even paid the change for you to make
Speaker 2: it happen. You're desperate to get out.
Speaker 1: When that happens, there's a looking kind of bleak at
Speaker 1: the moment, but we've started off with worse.
Speaker 2: Do you like her still?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Of course, I mean that's why I reached it out.
Speaker 3: I mean I want another chance. That's something that isn't
Speaker 3: gonna go terrible.
Speaker 4: Well, and you had chemistry the very beginning before you cook,
Speaker 4: you said you felt the same chemistry. So there's something there,
Speaker 4: but you gotta you gotta find it, 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 3: All right, I think, all right.
Speaker 1: Well, how do two people hundreds of miles apart have
Speaker 1: a common bond?
Speaker 2: 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. You're talking
Speaker 1: about Eric and Samantha. They both commented on the same
Speaker 1: chili burger and sparks flew from there. It isn't like
Speaker 1: amazing that people can connect that way. Now, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: actually do love that just any.
Speaker 2: Type of food. I will continue to stay off Facebook
Speaker 2: just didn't do it for you.
Speaker 1: You don't belong there. Flash forward to their wedding and
Speaker 1: it's like, I married this woman because we both commented
Speaker 1: on a burger that looks like it was found in
Speaker 1: an outhouse at Coachell. I love this woman.
Speaker 2: I mean said, 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.
Speaker 4: 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 messy 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, Eric, can you that you're too good for her?
Speaker 2: She actually likes attractive food.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we had a great conversation for like
Speaker 3: multiple weeks about it. So I think we're on the
Speaker 3: same page.
Speaker 2: That's true, you guys, just a long way for that
Speaker 2: still to be a thing though, should have ended. Yeah,
Speaker 2: did you connect over other things?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we talked about a bunch of stuff
Speaker 3: over the phone and buy a text the stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, broke a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, stuff off.
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 3: Yeah, definitely please, And like I know, you guys normally
Speaker 3: do like gift cards or something, but if you could
Speaker 3: get her just a flight out, that would be great.
Speaker 2: Let's slow it down, Eric, have you looked at a
Speaker 2: radio station's budget lately.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's three hundred Delta gift cards. Yeah, we'll work
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 2: Ok.
Speaker 1: Let's just dial her number and see what she has
Speaker 1: to say. Here we go. Hello, Hey is this Samantha. Yeah, Hey, Samantha.
Speaker 1: What's up? This is Brook 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.
Speaker 4: We're a radio show.
Speaker 2: Hi, radio show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, and we do a segment here called a
Speaker 1: second Date Update. We're trying to help one of our
Speaker 1: listeners get in touch with you after you went. You
Speaker 1: went out really far fro him. You flew three hundred
Speaker 1: miles to hang out with him.
Speaker 3: Eric called you.
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, he thanks, You're fantastic.
Speaker 5: That's so weird.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like it sounds like he went long
Speaker 2: ways to make sure that you could come visit him.
Speaker 2: He played for all.
Speaker 1: Technically she went a long ways to visit 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 sary. 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 2: I don't know.
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 5: Oh, I had to go because he kept asking me
Speaker 5: to stay the night. And that was the first time
Speaker 5: he met.
Speaker 2: Right he said, he mentioned that he told you he
Speaker 2: could stay.
Speaker 5: But he kept asking me, and I was like, Eric,
Speaker 5: I 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 preetenses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, 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 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Hey, I I didn't need to make you feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: I was just trying to be hospitable.
Speaker 5: And it's well argue that I wasn't like answering your talk.
Speaker 5: 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. I mean, maybe that's
Speaker 2: why she felt uncomfortable, because the only thing that was
Speaker 2: coming out of your mouth was that question, over and
Speaker 2: over again.
Speaker 1: Were you drinking that night? Maybe you forgot that you
Speaker 1: asked that question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess. I mean, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 3: think it's that rude to offer someone to not have
Speaker 3: to go drive their car rental car around a city
Speaker 3: 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 hole toel
Speaker 5: because what kind of possession? What did that put me in?
Speaker 2: You know, Oh, you paid for your own hotel? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, but I mean I had a spare betterom for you.
Speaker 3: I guess I like go to the details about everything,
Speaker 3: but probably should have.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, who, 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 learn't and this was just
Speaker 5: like a first time thing.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, well do you want to be my girlfriend?
Speaker 1: Eric? I don't think that was what she meant. I say,
Speaker 1: although it is a good question, would you have an
Speaker 1: answer for him, Samantha, No, stop, it.
Speaker 2: Not like that.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to do that over the radio.
Speaker 2: I don't stop.
Speaker 1: Sorry, the radio move wasn't good. Maybe you should text
Speaker 1: your 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 4: Coming from someone who has offered and flown girls out
Speaker 4: to cities, Okay, you as.
Speaker 1: They have a hotel. No, absolutely not. You do your thing.
Speaker 1: It's all about communications. Show them that gesture. Take the
Speaker 1: front door off of the hinge, just so that you
Speaker 1: can get out whenever 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. Yeah, well, I.
Speaker 3: Mean I feel like I've just totally screwed the pooch
Speaker 3: on this one and there's no real recovery. But I mean,
Speaker 3: 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 pooch 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
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 roast food.
Speaker 2: There's a whole page for it, Jeffrey. It seems like
Speaker 2: there's like hundreds of thousands, how many.
Speaker 1: Of them actually fall in love?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 1: Apparently we wanted it to be one, Okay, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean I really wanted to try a neat ball
Speaker 3: shake that 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 to make a meatball shake
Speaker 5: on my own.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were talking to money bags.
Speaker 2: Samantha makes her own meatballs. Jeffrey, excuse me, it's broken
Speaker 2: Jeffrey 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 learned and this is just
Speaker 5: like a first time thing.
Speaker 3: Well, will do you want to be my girlfriend?
Speaker 2: Is helicitening right now? I had to live 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. Isn't really that easy?
Speaker 2: What happened to you? All? Rooting for love.
Speaker 1: Over again love? He didn't even sound like he was
Speaker 1: into there for 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, like.
Speaker 4: I don't know, to be a romantic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I feel like he learned a
Speaker 2: lot from this.
Speaker 1: For example, not.
Speaker 2: Pressuring people to stay at his house when they.
Speaker 1: Don't want to make people feel comfortable.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he actually learned that lesson.
Speaker 4: Yeah, his lessons like, next time ask her to be
Speaker 4: my girlfriend, Yeah, 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, you'll do it all. Just email the show. We'll
Speaker 1: call the person who wasn't calling you back
Speaker 2: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning and
