Bread and butter wines pair with the life moments you love, offering a rich and jammy Cabernet Saubignon, a silky smooth piano now are, and a buttery Chardonnay. Bread and butter wines are delicious. Find a bread and butter wines in your favorite store second day. Falling in love in this world is hard enough, okay, But what would it be like to fall in love in another realm? Who? Cool? Cold? You imagine what that must look like. I don't even

dost thou art look it like? My fair maiden? Good men were so manly back then, worth they Do you have tights on right now? Too? Yeah? Yea. Honestly, I'm not a very big fantasy role playing guy, obviously, unless it comes to costumes in large lightsabers. That's a different story. But one of our listeners is really into it, and it actually helped her meet a guy recently. Now she's asking us for help today. Her name is Leah. Leah, Welcome to the show. Hey, everybody, would you call yourself

a fair maiden? Only what I'm trying to be? Oh, all right, So tell us about the guy you met? What's his name? His name is Jonathan? Okay? And where did you meet Jonathan? One of the guys in my D and D group was doing a one shot, which is basically just like a one night only we have to slow down. So you said D and D, which is Dungeons and Dragons. Yeah, it's Dungeons and Dragons. Okay, And I forget that's not like magic where you play with cards. Dungeons and Dragons is a game. It's a board, okay.

So it basically like you're playing pretend and there's rules and you roll dice. Okay, yeah, I knew that. Yeah, that's a stranger thing. Stranger thing. So wait, one shot? What does that mean? Is this? Is it? Is it? Tequila? That's what I thought. I'm like, maybe I'm into Dungeons and Dragons. Maybe six shot? Oh my god, Drunkarns and dragon.

Here we go. Now you got our language. Okay. So basically, usually when you play D and D, it's like stranger things you play over the course of like a long time, okay, but in this game, it's like just one time. Okay. So it's a quick game. It's a quickie. Yeah, okay, all right, and how did you meet this dude? How did you do the quickie with a guy? He is a friend of one of the other players, So everybody brought like new people to see who enjoyed it. And

so Jonathan was playing a character. Also, okay, what character were you? I am a halfling Bard, a halfling Bard, say that's what you mean. I'm very excited about my halfling Bard. She's very cute. She's little, that's why they call them halflings. And she plays a cello but it's like bigger than her, so she plays it like a double bass. It's very silly. That's cute. Okay, So you're a haffling Bard. And who's this mystery man that would you or not? What's his character? Right? So he is

a human fighter. So he's just like real good at like punching and kicking and shooting arrows boring, Okay, okay, so he's a fret guy. Yeah, he's gonna do D and D but he's still gonna be cool. Yeahs. And so does the guy have a character name? Yeah, So I'm Denna and he was Lim Lim Lim is that because he's got a big you're just rooting this game for her? So how do you guys end up like interacting. How does the bard and the human Fighter end up

interacting in the game. Well, basically, like we're all on the same team. We're all trying to do like this magical mission. Like we were rescuing a dragon from a princess. Oh the princess took the dragon hostage. What is happening? And so you know, we're we're doing magic, we're punching, we're kicking, and I'm like, I'm a very different person when I'm playing D and D. I tend to be like kind of shy and like don't overstep my own comfort zone. But like that's the nice thing about D

and D's like you get to kind of try on whatever. So, like, you know, my character Danna is like bold and brash, and she's all like hate stranger. Oh yeah, this is like role playing at this point. Yeah. So he starts lurting right back, and so we take like a little break to grab our drinks and our refills and whatever, and so we start talking and I'm like, oh, wait, in real life, you're also a really cool person, oh love. So okay, so you guys broke away from the game

for a second to just talk normally. Leah and Jonathan not Yeah, the Bard and the whatever limb right, Okay, And so where you're feeling a connection that way? Yeah, I was, and I think I got some signals that he was too. I mean after the game we actually went and we got a beer. Oh that's a date date. Yeah, So was there any romance when you guys got the drinks? I mean I felt something, but I didn't act on it.

Like I really felt like there might have been a moment where like maybe a kiss could happen, But I didn't really see anything from him, you know, and I didn't want to like overstep. Oh you needed to bring out your your inner or half wing bard l Yeah, you should have transformed into the bar and kissed them right on the mouth like a naughty little bar does. Oh No, I couldn't. Yeah, maybe Leah couldn't, but the halfling bard cold, I got the board, damn. So have

you reached out to him? I texted him to see if he wanted to hang out again, you know, I phrased it so vaguely, of course, but he hasn't really gotten back to me. Okay, maybe that's the thing he didn't understand. You didn't want to large it's possible. Yeah, I don't mean the stereotype. But my guess is with the D and D dudes like you need to be pretty upfront with what I mean. I just don't think

they probably pick up on small flirting to hit them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I just that's this big stereotype speaking of like elementary school kids playing d This is just a guy that showed up for a one off. I'm not trying to be mean. I'm asking if that's you think that's the case. Yeah. No, I definitely don't think that he's like the stereotypes or anything. I think you just seen like a cool guy. Okay,

well let's find out for sure. We're going to play a song, we'll come back, we'll call Jonathan for you, and we'll attempt to cast a charm spell on him when we do your second date update. We said it. I think we said it wrong. No, I think it really landed. Oh okay, it was perfect, she says. Okay, right after this, hold on, Just a warning for a haffling Bard on the phone. This second eight update could be a rough one, so you may need to double not your chastity belt or do not maybe release it.

I don't know. I'm not sure what's going to happen here. What I do know is that one of our listeners, Leah, met a guy named Jonathan while playing Dungeons and Dragons at a friend's house. Jonathan was a newcomer to the group, and they had a little flirtation in the game, which led to the two of them grabbing drinks outside of the game. Yes, them and she felt a genuine connection. But after that, Jonathan has disappeared like a mischievous half

elf wizard casting an invisibility spell outside Bulger's Gate. Do you play Dungeon and Wind Dragons? Dud? Why do you know all this stuff? I just google a bunch of dungeons and dress. Okay, But our job is to get Jonathan back on the phone to explain himself and possibly make a baby with Leah. Why are we doing that? Why are we going from chastity belts to babies? I just said possibly that would be a very successful second date update. If you ask, y'all are scaring me? You

better not scare them all? Okay, yeah, I don't. The women in D and D also have some good times like we're either we're either virgins or we're popping out babies. That's terrible. No, I don't know babies and what's that? Sorry? Okay, that's my fault. But we're just gonna call Jonathan and see if he wants to go out on another date. How's that all right? Let's do it? Okay, try not to embarrass you too much. Yeah, I'm gonna dial Jonathan's number right now. Here we go. Hello, Hi, I'm looking

for Jonathan. Yeah, hey Jonathan. My name's Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. How you doing good? Thanks? Okay, what's We're doing a segment on our show called a second Date Update. Basically, that's where if one of our listeners goes out on a date and afterwards, if they're not calling them back, they'll email us to reach out and try and help them figure out the reason. Why have you heard of this before? No? I haven't, But I mean that sounds cool. It sounds

like very marketable, great idea. Thanks, Okay, I like you? Why but I'm very impressed about you? Yes? Or do we just like him because he's complimenting us? We'll take it. We don't get very many of those on this show, so back to the second date update. Recently, you met a listener of our show who had a great time with you and has been trying to get in touch, but it's been having a little bit of difficulty with it. Her name's Leah. Yeah, that name sounds familiar. Yeah, do

you remember her? You played Dungeons and Dragons with her? Yep, yep, I do. Yes. She was a halfling bard and I guess you were a human fighter, a very sexy one. According to her. That sounds fitting. Oh now we're complimenting him. I like that. Good. This relationship is great so far. I don't know this D and D stuff really does work, like the will Beto gets going. Yeah, so I'm not

over here. Yes, all right. So the reason that we're doing this whole phone call is because Leah wants to understand why after you guys had a really nice time together, she's been having such a hard time getting a hold of you because she wants to see you again. Well, yeah, she's an interesting person. I like Leah. I think that she was nice. She's a little intense, but then again, so is camping camp. It's intense, you guys, okay separately, Yeah,

but what makes you say that Leah's intense. I didn't get that impression from her, like she's into the game obviously, But why do you say intense. Well, I'm not sure if she was nervous or something like that. But right when we got there, I mean, I think she's still coming off to hide the game, but she started trash talk to me a little bit in a way like, hey, man, had you not been on my team, I would have owned you. I would like swept on your corpse and

I was like, colect on your coch that's ada. Did that make you laugh? Though? Well? Nervously so. Apparently she was part of this necro napper group thing they pull on like some sort of like slay in sleep. Apparently is this in d and D or is this necro group outside of DNA. They would like kind of do it like a slay in sleep, like they would just destroy people in the game and then they would like

sleep on the corpses and this weird stuff. I still can't tell if this is like real life slaying people and sleeping on them or is this like world it's in the game. It's very important to clarify though, because I'm having a hard time whatever it was. It was just a turn off. I mean, I like her as a person and I enjoyed spending time with her about whatever it was. It just seems to me that she would probably be better off for somebody who's in a

D and D as much as she is. Yeah, I mean, I feel like because we spoke to her for a little bit, Jonathan, and she sounds like a very nice person to us, and I think she may have just been caught up in the game. You guys had just come from playing. And she did describe that her game character, whatever you call it, in D and D is very different than who she is in real life. She did say that, well, I just felt like D and D was her life. And now I'm not sure if I'm

looking for somebody like that. Okay, okay, maybe she would say differently, maybe she would. Let's find out, because I need to tell you, Jonathan. Leah's on the other line listening and she wants to talk to you. Oh careful, she's gonna take a nap on you. Lee. Are you there? Oh I am so embarrassed. Oh Sweete, It's okay. So Jonathan, Leah's there. She's been listening to this entire conversation. I

think she's bright red. Yeah, I'm really glad this is radio. Yeah, we don't want to see the corpse that you're sleeping. Oh hey, listen, Lee, I'm just telling the truth. I'm not meeting arm or any foul. But I mean, hey, if you want to explain your side and just kind of get an understanding for me, like I would love to hear that, that's a reasonable show. Yeah, I don't know. I guess I got a little too into it. I

didn't mean to scare you off like that. I hope that you're not like it turned off from D and D. Also, maybe explain the necro nappers things. I mean, Okay, it's just this really silly thing that like one of the other guys in me in the group thought of in a previous game, where it's like, yeah, we slay our enemies and then we're gonna like take a relaxing nap.

I promise it's funny in a game, but like, yeah, outside of it helped just a little bit, And I think I can compare this and make this sound a little less weird. In Fortnite, after you kill someone, if you want to be toxic, you can dance over their body. Oh that's terrible. But I think kid game, what's happy. It's like you get your kill and you're like, haha, I got you, and then you do an emote is what it's called. So I feel like you're doing the same thing. It's it's a lot more dark good news.

It's a relaxing nap. Jonathan, does any of this make you feel a little bit better about Leah? Partially? Okay? Yeah, sure, I mean it was just skinning things and wearing them was kind of weird. But I guess it's because I didn't understand it. And if you explain it to me that you're like, not this person that goes and does this on a regular basis in real life, then I would probably Okay, Leah, can you assure him of that? Yeah? Oh my gosh, no, I I work at a post office.

I don't like. Damn, that doesn't help you. There's been some incidents, so I don't think they dance at all. I mean, Jonathan, don't you feel like outside of the D and D world and all the dn D lingo, did you have a fun time with Leah? Oh? Absolutely? Moly, okay, sir? Yeah, and maybe next time when you guys meet up, there can be no dn D in volve whatsoever, So you just get to know the two of you as regular

human people. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what, Leah. Do you really like dungeons and drave It just like a lot, I mean, yeah, it doesn't mean that it lightly has to have it be my whole life. Well, I like normal Leah when we just kind of sat down and had a good time. So how about I give you a shot where I actually can just sit down with dungeons and dragon Lea and just listen and understand how you got started with that? Oh, I'm not sure? Are you asking her out? Like? How about I give you

a shot? I know what he's saying. Is he already knows he likes normal Leam supposed to give dungeons and dragons Leah another? Yes? I don't know, Jonathan. Jonathan, if I were Leah right now, I don't want to sleep on your corpse. Yeah. It was weirdly worded, it was, Yeah, let's try it for him. Yeah, So Jonathan, here's the deal. We would love to send you and Leah normal Leah out on a normal date, Yes, and we'll pay for it really Yeah that sounds good. Okay, that's yes, you agree, Yeah, yeah,

that kind of in the game. I accept the maiden. Hey, maybe don't start the game right now. There's definitely gonna be some corpses left on after this. All right, Well, congratulations Leah, we got you another dame. Wow, I'm excited. I can't guys, we've never done it for a necro napper before. I think in the D and D world. We just ranked up Chastity Belts coming off tonight. Congratulations Broke and Jeffrey in the morning.
