Speaker 1

Second, that's a guy. I can think of a lot of qualities that men might be looking for in a female companion. Okay, you know, someone who's sweet, who likes to laugh. Didn't hear any laughter from the ladies, and that's continue But extra toe wouldn't say no to that? Why you never know when you need a really good backscratch, just toss that foot there. Get to work, you know. But maybe the number one sexiest quality a woman can have from a guy's perspective, okay, is somebody who is

low maintenance. And apparently that from a guy's perspective. I know the ladies aren't going to understand that. I like a little yeah that come far perspective, But okay, apparently that's what one of our listeners, Eddie found recently from his date, who, in typical low maintenance fashion, is not calling him. So I apologize for her actions. I do not think they're warranted. Okay, oh gosh, you haven't heard anything about his date. I am already on Eddie's side. Okay,

how does that feel, Eddie? That feels really good? Oh my god, you guys are like bro bonded or something. Right now, where'd you find this low maintenance woman. So we met online on one of those chat sides. You know, Okay, low maintenance girls dot coming right now, Jack, Yeah, they're on like once a year. You can only catch some be on there all the time. But Eddie, what's the

next year? What's this low maintenance woman's name? Melanie? Melanie? Okay, I mean, did you know from the beginning that she was someone that I mean that you were looking for? Right? Well, you know what I really liked on her profile, It's that she was low maintenance. So that that was a gem for me. So I was like, you know what, prove it? Oh, no, that really sounds like you're high maintenance. No, no, so I as you know, Um, do you want to do a fancy cooking class or play? She said, we can,

but that's not really her thing. Good she said, literally, if you want to grab food and just watch a movie in the back of your car, I'm up for it on your phone watch the movie definitely had to be creative. I decided to test it. So we ended up meeting in one of those parking lots outside one of those outdoor malls. Ye, it's also so sketchy. Are you really going with the backseat of the car. Idea. Yeah, I mean I had to test it. Okay, that's why

she's not college here. She actually came. Yeah, she showed up. She gave me a big hug, and he didn't look like her pictures. That's great, But did you ever warn her that this was actually the date that you had planned. I wanted to be a surprise. No, those surprises are typically good things, like you put thought into stuff. Look, I like her already. I love low maintenance. But I think she was saying it as a joe, and low

maintenance doesn't mean you don't want to have someone that's thoughtful. Yeah, I don't know. We're already getting all judgmental. We should figure out what happened when you showed her what the date was. Yeah, so I said I had a surprise for her. I took in my car, opened the back door, and then right there there's three big bags of winds. You know, I was being thoughtful, dude, And then I

had finding Nemo playing on a portable DVD. Play. The smell of the fast food in a car, I'm sorry, it just never feels good unless you're the one that orders it and brings it in this come from all the high maintenance women in this man never satisfied with the Did she laugh? What did she say? Blown away? Obviously? Yeah, yeah she laughed. But but she wouldn't get in. Yeah, no, Eddie.

I mean even the movie choice is kind of predatory, you know, like feeling it's a Disney movie, broke, this is all red flag get in because she had to push the other teenager out of the way exactly, Na, she said, she doesn't really know me yet. Yeah, yeah, okay, look at that. She's smart. She's thinking this through at least. Yeah, I didn't think of that. You're right, did you have a plan? B So we went to a barn next door, each had a beer and I teased her. I was like,

you know, the Wendy's is getting cold. The first thing you guys did. You're not still pushing the windies. You need to give up on the windies? Man. Well, I mean, well it work because a few minutes later we were in the back seat. Why didn't find a new mode? What beer? And she says, yes to this girl. We had our burgers, We had our frosties. You know, oh frost how is that not melted? Can you just let

him get through one sentence without judging. Okay, you sli through the straw, then what Eddie, It wasn't like we were in the movie theater. We've both seen the movie, so we could talk through it. That's true. That's okay. So you're hanging now. Is she feeling safe and comfortable with you? Yeah? I think so, But it was it was a little weird because it was good, but we didn't get to the end of the movie, like about three quarters into the movie. She says she had to go. Well,

that's like an hour into the movie, my friend. I mean she said she was there a while. Yes, she was, and I was okay with it because after so much fast food. Listen, you don't want to sit next to me. What the wa? Okay? Delight? But okay, it sounds like you felt like you left it on an okay note? Yeah, yeah, I thought we did. So I walked her to her car. I gave her a hug. But for some reason I haven't heard from her since Free Movie. He walks free Drink.

I mean, did you really truly feel like you guys had a connection though, Eddie. That's that's what matters. I mean, I know I'm making fun of you for the finding Nemo and the interesting choices, But you know, I really think that we did. And you said that she's low maintenance, so maybe she's playing the really, really low maintenance slow game here. I just hope that she answers the phone when we call her and get your second date update.

Second man, Even when a guy does absolutely everything right, yeah, women, they just have this way to find something wrong and spin it against are just so picky. Yeah, we are so demanding. Thank you for finally saying yeah. I'm bringing it up because one of our listeners, Eddie took out a woman named Melanie, who described herself as low maintenance. Yeah, and she told him I'm the type of gal who'd be happy just eating fast food in the back of

a car while watching a movie. But then, of course, when Eddie shows up with three bags of Wendy's and finding Nemo on Blu Ray in his suv, Melanie and all the ladies in the room go, well, obviously she didn't mean watch a movie in the car. Come on, what we're just taking you literally at what you're saying. And now we're trying to figure out if Eddie took things too literally. Brooke, I don't know what advice do you have for Eddie that he needs to decipher what

you really mean. Eddie. I think one of the like hard pieces for me listening to you to describe your date was how you kept saying I was testing her, like that's always sucked in. Is like, oh, that feels so bad. You know, I've been on so many days women that say that and they're pretty high maintenance and they just don't know it. Okay, Oh did you did you tell her that you were testing her? Though? Like, I'm wondering if that was maybe part of the problem.

I definitely wouldn't do that. Oh okay. It literally works really well when you're like, hey, by the way, this is a big test, so you better answer right easily said in the back, Hey, I was just doing this date because you said you were a low maintenance and I just wanted to see if that was right and that would have come off sexy to you. Yea. If he said that, that that's why she's not calling him back. He's damned if he does. He's damned if he doesn't

date a terrible date that she suggested doing. He just listened to. But what do we know, let's just call her and hear what she asked to say. You're ready to do this, Eddie? Ready as I'll ever be? All right? Here we go. Hello, hey's the smell. This is she Melanie. My name is jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Why are you laughing? I'd feel like Brooke should take it from here. What I screwed it up? Because I'm I'm good? What can I do

for you? Great question? Yeah, well it's not really what you could do for us, but what you could do for one of our listeners that you went out on a date with name Eddie. Um? Okay, and who is this again? Oh? Who am I? Yeah? We're broken Jeffrey in the Morning. We're a radio show, and we're trying to help Eddie figure out what went wrong or if anything did go wrong on your date, because he told us a little bit about it. He's not sure if he made some mistakes. But we'd just like to know

what you think of Eddie. You know, I guess when I first met him, I thought that he was kind of funny. Okay, can I just ask, like you show up to a mall parking lot and this guy opens the door and he's got Finding Nemo and Windy's in the back seat. What are you thinking? I mean in that moment, I kind of kind of had that lady feeling of like I put myself in this situation because I made a joke. It did you? Did you say before you told him? Though, by the way, what I'm

about to tell you as a joke. Oh, It's always fun to be with someone that you have to establish what is a joke and what isn't every time you talk. I wanted to give him the benefit of a doubt because I don't know, Texting is hard, and like maybe it was just interpreted. You know, We've been getting along as we've been talking, you know, online, and and I just figured it might as well be worth it to

take the shot. We had our food back there, and it seemed like it was kind of fun at first, but the vibe just changed like drastically once the movie started. What do you mean fine? Once Finding Nemo came on? Is that what it was? Noid? I definitely will remember that it's called Finding Nemo because that was one of the big issues. Um and he kept coming back to

he was getting like super agitated by the storyline. He was agitated, oh, to a point where he was like changing color in his face, like why can't they find that damn fish? And like that, where the hell is it? We need to get a private investigator on this. This is taking too long a joke? Was that a joke that? I mean, maybe you guys just don't understand any type each other's type of humor? Right and listen. And when I say I'm loan maintenance, I mean, like I try

to give people the benefit of the doubt. I'm not holding a lot of judgment. But this guy would not let this go. He's just he was getting heated and like he's over there ranting and raving about how it should be called losing NEMO. And that is a fair point. But but the thing is that was weird. But he turned off the TV and then he suggested that I could help him find the real memo in the back seat, And I just wait, well, is that like a fish? What does that mean? Was he like it was it

a sexual? I think it is that what he was an innuendo? I don't know. It just went from like a little awkward first date misunderstandings to like really creepy really fast. That kind of sealed the deal. Yeah, okay, Well, there's been a lot of misunderstandings happening this entire I don't know. I'm just saying there's a lot of misunderstandings, and maybe we should actually give Eddie a chance to explain himself, because Melanie, he's actually on the other line

listening right now and he wants to talk to you. Um, I'm sorry, he's like on the phone. Yeah, yeah, I think he needed to hear that, to be honest. Yeah, Eddie, you there, yep, right here? Are you dying of embarrassment? Eddie? No? I mean, look, there's a lot of emotions in that movie. You know. It just turned me on. Wait what there's just so much emotion. I mean, how can I not be turned on? You know? Look, as a guy, it's hard to be smooth and funny and not get judged.

And you know what I feel judge right now. You weren't smooth or funny though, You're you're you're saying that you were like using a pickup line on her with you want to find Nemo in the backseat. Yeah, you know, I'm trying to be moved, trying to be funny. Look, yeah, I can identify with that that Sometimes it's hard to think of the smooth line in the middle of the date, especially when you have a Disney movie on Golden Rule, just away from using Disney and sexual innuendos in the

same sentence. There's a way that it can. Yes, don't do it. I have a star that you can wish upon. I don't know. I'm just trying to help our listener here. Somehow, I think I think I think maybe we're just miscommunicating. You know what, how about we do a redo. We could do a redo, and I promise you if we watch a movie like Finding Dory that doesn't meto for me? You know, so I hope that fish. Yeah, it's so stupid, all degenerous fan Okay, Melanie, I mean, how does hearing

all that make you feel? Oh? I think I am just not the right fish in your sea? Ny it works when you're shutting somebody down. Are you sure? Because there's not a lot of fish like it was pretty rare, I feel, aren't there like a ton of the melodies? Oh, Clo, I gotta tell you you're you're a pretty common fish, my friend. I think you got the clownfish, right? Yeah? Is that what you're feeling like, Eddie? Are you doing okay?

You learn anything here? I don't know. Maybe she was taking it the wrong way, but I felt like I was being pretty romantic old boy. Oh boy, I think boy. Definitely lesson learned, though, Eddie. If you do exactly what the woman says, she'll eventually hate you. That is exactly the lesson. That's exactly what I've learned. That's why we're never going to get anywhere, jeff So we're getting everywhere?

Is that? I am sorry this didn't work out for you, Eddie, but I think there is some girl out there who is going to be willing to help you find yourn em out toy story that doesn't make that's not appropriate. Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning
