Second Date Update: Build-A-Burn

two questions. One are you out of the hospital yet? And two? Did you meet any hot doctors you could throw Alexis's way? I mean I didn't actually go to the doctor. I was just kidding. It wasn't great. Okay, why don't you start at the beginning. Tell us about the guy that she met? What's his name? Okay? Well, I met this really nice guy named Dennis. We met on bumble. We talked i'd say probably three four weeks. It's a long time talk to somebody before you met

in person. Why. I mean, you know you're being cautious in taking our time, and we really were enjoying just the conversation, but we both worked full time and it was just kind of hard to find a time that works for both of us. All right, okay, but I don't seem to be on the same page with me. I'm so many things and like we just we have

so much in common. Oh good. I mean, like, if you're talking that much before you meet someone in person, there's probably a lot of pressure on the first time you actually see each other, right, because it all comes down to that you've already invested so much time. Yeah, so pressures on what did you guys end up doing for your date? We had a really nice time going to build your own pizza place, build your own pizza. I was putting all art jokes and that's it. Just

chokes on a date. Yeah, so wait, you no, like build your own pizza like the subway style where you tell them to put everything on. Well, it's a place where you literally, like you need the dough, there's a topping bar, you kick out what you put on the pizza, and you just put the stuff on top of it. But what did you think when you saw him for the first time, Like, did he match up to his pictures? Was there chemistry? There was pizza in the room. Nothing

else matters the pizza. So he looked great. Um, he wasn't as into the pizzas I was, like, not in a bad way, but just in like, oh, he could tell it was my thing. God, I mean we can tell that. Yeah, I like it, okay. And so the pizza came out and he was very nice and he said, you know, you worked so hard on that. Why don't you take the first bite? Why it's like so polite, So you're the one that has to burn the roof of your mouth. It's always the first bite, right, That

is exactly what happened. Oh, oh my god. I thought it was just spicy burning. No. So I took a bite and it was so hot. It was so hot that I had to spit it out, like like a child who was eating something that they didn't like the taste of. Oh my god, it's actually blistering and the cheese is like stuck on the roof of your mouth. How did dentists react when that was happening? Was fringe? I mean, he was so sweet. He was trying so

hard to help you. Like, at one point he reached across the table and tried to like put water in my mouth. It was just making a mess and the pizza was ruined and it was fine, but we kind of just decided to call it for dinner and just go for a walk. Oh my god, and you like distracted because like literally blisters are for me and on the roof of your mouth. Also, you're talking like this the whole time. Could I have a cup of ice? Yea, sometimes you have the excess skin? I know. Was the walk? Okay,

let's focus on the walk. How do the walk go? So the walk seemed fine. He's walked me to his car, and of course he has a first aid kit and he gets out. He gets us some gauze. What are you gonna do with gauze? It's all the inside of your mouth. He insisted that I put it on the roof of my mouth. If I'm guessing that he's not a doctor, ye, he's trying to help. He's trying to help. I've been the one who's made a fool of myself at this point, so I just kind of go with it.

Oh no, spray some light, a cane in your mouth, put like ointment in there. Like what did he do? No? It was just like a neo sporing kind of so it kind of sounds it kind of sounds like the burn was the focal point of the whole night. It kind of ruined your momentum of anything. Yeah, you guys were focused on that too much, you think, I mean, I would have loved to have not focused on it, but it didn't seem to be is the problem. Because

we walked up to like a playground. Essentially, we're just kind of sitting and chatting, and of course, like me, chatting was a little difficult. But like he said, he wanted to kiss me, and he was so sweet, and I was like, you know, my mouth is damp, there's literal kiss me. Let me. Anyway, he kept getting closer to my face and it was so sweet and so I just kind of like turned over my shoulder and spit out the gas. Oh no, he was still into it, guys. He was into it, and we had this amazing kiss

and it like it didn't pickle. I am weird feeling about it. Come on, he was into you, though, That's what the important thing? Nice that that's actually really good? Are you telling me he hasn't called you or anything of that. So here's where I'm so confused because we were texting for like three or four days after it, and then all of a sudden, he just drops off the face of the air in what and you know, his bumble is gone, like the profile is gone. That's

so weird. What was the last thing you guys talked about. I mean, the last thing we talked about was trying to set up a second date. Oh oh boy, Oh, maybe there's another woman that he's stuffed gone. That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm like, oh, he's married, he's in a relationship, he's cheating. She got like a third degree burn, so she's way more attractive as hot as it can get. Well, let's see what happened. Let's play a song. We'll come back, We'll call Dennis for you,

and we'll try and get you a second date. Up date. Okay, okay, thank you all. Hold one. I could just see Julie years from now, telling the story to her grandchildren about how she met Grandpa and she says, then he looked deep into my eyes, stroked my cheek and said I want to kiss you. And I replied, no, that's how love lasts forever. Because at the time, Julie's mouth was stuffed with gauze after she burned it on a build

at yourself pizza, which makes the kiss sound so dry. Yeah, but in her defense, I think we've all ended up with weird stuff in our mouths at the end of a first date. So even though the night ended on a sweet note, Dennis has suddenly stopped responding and even took down his dating profile. I don't think it's a successful and unless you don't have something weird in your mouth. Okay, that's a good point, but not great signs at the end there, Julie, how you feeling? I mean, I just

want to know what the heck is going on. I'd be mad. I'd be mad if I were you, just because you spent so much time talking to this guy and it's his fault. He didn't even take the first bite and he was being so sweet eating you like down this road where it really felt like you were starting something with him. I'm pissed. Okay, Well, I would recommend not being mad at him when we get him on the phone, because it's probably not going to go well if you're just mad at a guy if you

actually want to see him again. But that's a brook strategy. You can do whatever you want to do anyway. I'm gonna dollars number now. We'll see what he has to say. Okay, okay, I really hope this works out. I just feel like they don't make them like this anymore. Yeah. I know you're right. There's not a lot of guys anymore who just carry gauze on themselves these days. But we'll see what he has to say. Here we go. That's true. Hello,

Hey is this Dennis speaking? Hey Dennis. My name is jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, or some people call it Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning on mornings from six to ten. Start your commute right with Brooke and Jeffrey. Jeffrey. What have you heard of us before? Maybe? Um, not not good? If it was that that ring a bell for people we have to I mean everything. Yeah, I don't know. He hasn't heard of us. So the marketing whatever we're doing right

now is not working. Yeah. We're calling because we're doing a segment called a second Date Update and one of our listeners trying to get a hold of you after you guys went out together. Her name's Julie. Yeah, yeah, Julie. Yeah, say that's so casually. I didn't, but Julie's great. I really liked Julie. Good. Okay, that's going to hear, Yeah, I say, I guess it. We're a little bit confused because according to Julie, you guys haven't really been communicating lately,

and you also removed your dating profile. Yeah, you know, to be honest that I have been on social media. I had to delete my profiles and everything and all your profile. Yeah. Well okay, so first let me just say this, like we I had a great time. I think Julie's great. There was nothing wrong or any problems to that. I guess it's kind of just in opportune timing. Why because you're like married or something. No, that would

be really creepy scenario. It just seems so weird. Like she told us that you guys have been talking for three or four weeks, you finally meet up, you have this amazing date. According to her, I mean maybe you felt differently, but it sounded great, and then you talk for a minute and then you just dropped off. Yeah. I can understand that, and there is fact too that there's truth to that. It's I've just I don't know. I'm gonna I'm gonna spot right here, so let me

explain what's going on and we can go from there. Sure, what's happening? Man? So, unbeknownst to me, a friend of mine, um, he kind of signed me up for this popular Netflix dating show. Probably can't talk about it. Whenever you do those, you have to do like an da so that you don't spill the secrets before you do it. Death is it is? Wait? Have you been selected? Have you gone through the casting process? Yeah? So that's kind of what

I'm getting to. So apparently they've had a lot of people that are signing up for this and they're looking to pick twelve and right now and in the top twenty according to them. And I've talked to the producers and everything, and I've even submitted my deposit for it. And wait, deposit, I thought you they paid you to do these things, So I guess how it works. Did

you get your deposit back in the end? Because you know, they need photo and video of you and everything, So if you pay people to come out and do interviews, you pay them. Yeah, this is like a show or some random person ask you to do this. Yeah, I mean my friends applied, you know, they I don't know. I've never done this before. I don't know. You know, I think everybody in this room right here, like we're a little concerned. You can scamp, yeah, because when you

work with SAG and stuff, they don't work. Like, like, do you know where your friend found this show? Like where he came across this opportunity. I mean she said Craigslist. Good. Oh no, I don't know, Netflix advertising, Dennis. Wait, how much money have you given these people? Yeah, I'm the initial deposit of fifteen hundreds for pictures. You better be flying Tahiti for those pictures. Wait have you taken pictures? No? Not yet. There it was jealous and that's not how

it works, my friend, believe me, this is real. I mean I've talked to producers over zoom. I saw them. They gave me the rundown of you know, how this whole thing works. And so I'm kind of dealing with this right now. And it's kind of a lot. And we have India. You're not supposed to say anything or you know, even in terms of being online for dating websites and stuff. You know, we had to get off those, which is why I deleted all my profiles and everything.

And Julie and I had a wonderful time. You know, I've been wanting to reach out to her. I just don't know if that's okay. Yeah. Well, the good news is you don't have to think about how to do it anymore, because, Dennis, I gotta tell you, Julie's been on the other line listening this entire time. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't know Julie was on the phone yet, Ulie. Oh h. Dennis. Hey, Um, I'm sorry about not reaching out to you. I've just I've been kind of confused

as to what to do. And the reason why I did it is I feel like this could be a huge opportunity for me and my career. Um, Dennis, I'm gonna be honest with you, but like you didn't handle any aspect of this well, like kind of sounds like you're being an idiot about it. Oh that's it's not really nice, okay, Dennis. Which part of it seems skeptical to you, Julie? Which part doesn't? I mean maybe the part where he gave fifteen hundred dollars to a random

person on crank list. Are you telling me that's not a normal thing. I'll be honest with you. I mean, I I can hear the tone in your voice, and I think it's gonna be a lot funnier when I'm on Netflix and y'all are watching me on TV. People who got scammed it might not be thinking, Dennis, We're not trying to, like, you know, poop on your career, band or your dreams like we like that. We want you to dream big. We just want you to not

get taken time. You're ruining chemistry with a really good chick. Absolutely. I know Julie has been saying great things about you this entire time. Man, well, thank you. I mean I feel the same about her. I just feel this is a great opportunity for me right now. And if it is the case, and it's either I don't get picked or something happens with the show, and then yeah, I

would love to go out with her. I forgot to mention it, but this is the point of the segment where I need to get your credit card because it costs fifteen hundred dollars to do a second date. Not a lot of people know that's right. Yeah, I mean, if the things are going right now? Would you mind throughout me an extra fifteen hundred dollars because I mean, she got you on a radio reality dating show. That's right. You know, you sound like a bunch of comedians. Thank

you very much. That's a very nice thing. If you just say, I don't know if it's a compliment coming from I'm not joking at all when I say I would really like to send the two of you out on another date, and we will pay for it if you're interested. What do you say, Dennis? I mean, yeah, I would really like that. Again, I have to see both protocol for it, but I mean, you're going to vet us. He doesn't believe that we're legit. I know,

if he's allowed to go on a date with her. Yeah, yeah, I don't think they're going to be answering you any times. Well you know, if that's the case, then yeah, I would love for you to pay for us to go out. Okay, Julie, it's a conditional yes, based on what the producers say. What's it for you? I mean, if he's going to wait around for the Craigslist guy to give him permission to take me on a sudden face, then it's not really worth my time. He's not just a Craigslist guy.

He's a producer that's on Craigslist. And Jeffrey in the Morning they say, when you're dating, it's important to find somebody that has a good financial sense. Right, Yeau did it. It might have been a little bit off, but at least you found a guy who's investing in himself. Well, okay, maybe he's might be investing in some guy named Gary, but he's an investor of some sort. I would say

he's trustworthy. Would be an admirable trait to a fault lord, definitely, But were you could just tell in Julie's voice that it couldn't have been a bigger turn off. Yeah, Yeah, he was giving money to some guy off Craig's was hoping to become famous. Oh god, and he just really thinks it's going to be his career jump off, Like no matter what we said, he wouldn't believe it. Here

in his head, like it didn't click yet. You know, he hasn't had that moment of like, wait a minute, I don't think that moment's going to come for him. How much money do you think it's going to take before it happened. I would like to think though, that we're gonna log on to Netflix here in the next year and we're all gonna say, oh, we were wrong. That made some really sketchy business by Netflix. By the way,

squid game for dating. Yeah, remember, if you ever want to get a second date, update emails, a show, We'll call the person who wasn't calling you back
