Second Date Update: Relationship Recipe Fail

find love. Are they not in a senior center, because that's what happened to one of our listeners, Eric, Eric, which extremist chat group? Did you meet your lady? We met on the comment sections of a Facebook group called gross food? Gross Food? I think that is the only thing left that's fun on Facebook are the fun groups. You can be part of that and the Brook and Jeffrey Facebook page. Oh yeah, you should go follow if you haven't already. But tell us Eric about the girl

that you met. What's her name, Samantha? Okay, Samantha. What's funny is that I wanted to ask first about the gross food that you both commented on. Yeah, actually I was thinking that. Okay, what was it. Yeah, it was this chili burger and it just it looked awful. Oh yeah, someone's chili is like a weird brown is not a real photograph friendly food. That is definitely for sure. Actually, Eric sent us a picture of them, so here it is.

I printed it out. It was exactly Yeah. Yeah, it looks like somebody took two buns and then reached into a porta potty basically. I mean it lives up to the gross food filter that you needed to post. Pretty disgusting. How did you guys start talking about it? She was like, is it bad that I want to put that in my face? And I was like, twenty bucks? Can I watch? You? Guys were meant for each other because after I saw that, oh wow, that's a visuals So did you actually, like

you actually parlayed that into a date? Well yeah, sort of. I mean we started DM in for a while and I really did want to hang out, but she told me that she doubted I could actually watch her eat it because live like three hundred miles apart. Oh right, I was gonna say, like, what are the chances you're in the same city. That's what video chat dates are for. Yeah,

video chat eating. This is that what you guys did? No, So we stayed friends on Facebook for a few weeks and mostly just talk about food and getting to know each other and stuff. And I was finally like, Hey, what if I fly you out over my way and we try to cut the chili brigger together? Nice? Oh, we're gonna cook that thing together. That's what you're thinking. I think she's going to spend a whole weekend with a strange her that she met on Facebook. Get a

hotel or he can get her a hotel. And they also talked for a few weeks. He said before he made that offer, right, like a lot of time with one person. But so she was kind of surprised, but she eventually said okay, and we sure the weekend to do it. Wow. So you guys spent a whole weekend together? Yeah kind of. What was it like when you picked her up at the airport? Well, I offered, but she didn't want me to. Oh, you know, trying to get or she just tried to get a free weekend vacation.

But I'm moving into the hotel. I'll be fine. Yeah. A lot of times we don't look our best as soon as we get off of an airplane, so maybe she needed some time to collect herself before the actual dates start. So I mean, when did you guys finally meet up? She came over to my place and we have the same chemistry that we had online. Nice, that's really important, dude. Yeah, but then the disappointment started. Oh why who was disappointed? Both of you? Both of us? Yeah,

the recipe was just awful. So the one that we found said that you should bake the burger, like the raw meat and the chili and the cheese and everything together, all wrapped inside a tinfoil. Oh, I mean you're following recipes based on gross food pictures? Like what do you expecting to get the hilarious point right? Like, let's recreate? Why would you be disappointed? Like I get? I mean, how did that turn out? I mean after an hour it was a total mess, horrible and it just walked

it on. But I put it back in the oven and we tried cooking it some more and thought we eat again later, but she said it was getting late and she should go back to her hotel. Okay, wow, But I was like, you know, you can stay over, It's all right if you want. It sounds romantic. I mean, was there any chemistry between you two, like you're watching a show. Nothing happened, There was no. Yeah, it was

a good chemistry at the beginning of it. But like as the of anticipation for this nightmare burger that we've been waiting for and talking about for weeks, just ros, I just got nervous. Wow, so the horrible food that you planned to make was so horrible that it actually ruined the day. Yeah, rose emotionally as well. How did you anything that night? Well? I got real nervous, and I was like, you don't play a board game? So I started pulling some that and stuff, but she wasn't

do it. Yeah, I mean, I don't want to fly to a new city to play board games. Inside her out at that point, showing her around. Let's go to a real restaurant. Yeah, some good food. I don't know, playing candy Land with a stranger in his apartment could be kind of fun. That sounds like Facebook, honestly. So did you guys meet up the next day? Nah? She took her early flight home and that was it. Oh,

even paid the change fee to make it happen. You're desperate to get out when that happens looking kind of bleak at the moment, but we've started off with worse. Do you like her still? Yeah? Of course. I mean that's why I reached out. I mean I want another chance. That's something that isn't gonna go terrible. Well, and you had chemistry the very beginning before you cooked, you said you felt the same chemistry. So there's something there, but you got to you gotta find it. Bro, We're gonna

help you find it. We're gonna play a song. We'll come back Hall Samantha for you and get your second date update right after this. All right, awesome? Thanks? All right? Hold on, how do two people hundreds of miles apart have a common bond? I'll tell you how it sounds deep, Jeffrey, it's through gross looking food. Yeah, because that's where they met. On a Facebook group dedicated to ugly meals talking about Eric and Samantha. They both commented on the same chili

burger and sparks flew from there. It's it isn't life amazing that people can connect that way? Now? Yeah, I actually do love that any type of food. I will continue to stay on Facebook. This didn't do it for you. Flash forward to their wedding, and it's like, I married this woman because we both commented on a burger that looks like it was found in an outhouse at coach this woman. I mean er, you guys are getting way ahead of yourself. We couldn't even get through one successful

night after he paid for a plane ticket. You can focus on all the negative stuff, but I think life is pretty great. Oh that's good, Jeff. I start imagining their six chili king. Yeah, it might not be that great because they did try to recreate the recipe that they saw online, which took so long that Samantha left and went back to her hotel and then rebooked her flight home for the next morning. What's your take on this type of mess? You love? Maybe she just wasn't

as dedicated to gross food as you thought, you know. Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying, Eric, you hear that you're too good for her. She actually likes attractive food. Yeah, I mean we have a great conversation for like multiple weeks about it, so I think we're on the same page. Yeah, that's true, you guys, just a long way for that still to be a thing, though, Like the joker should have ended yeah, did you connect over other things? Yeah, I mean we talked about a bunch of stuff over

the phone and via text, the stuff. Yeah, broke a bunch of stuff. Yeah, stuff. But all right, now we're going to ask her a bunch of stuff when we call Samantha and try and get the second Date update for you. All right, Eric, here we go. Yeah, definitely please, And like I know, you guys normally do like gift cards or something, but if you could get her just a flight out, that'd be great. You looked at a radio station's budget lately, Yeah, here's three hundred Delta gift cards. Yeah,

we'll work on it. Okay, let's just dial her number and see what she has to say. Here we go. Hello, Hey is this Samantha. Yeah, Hey Samantha. What's up? This is Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Oh yeah, I mean not listen. I don't know. I don't know if we're on in your city. Yeah, we're on in a lot of cities. Samantha Radio show high a radio show. Yeah, yeah, And we do a segment here called a second Date Update, and we're trying to help one of our listeners get

in touch with you after you went. You went out really far from him, You flew three hundred miles to hang out with him. Eric called you. Yes, Yes, he thanks, You're fantastic. That's so weird. Really why, I don't know, Like it sounds like he went long ways to make sure that you could come visit him. He played for well, technically she went along, But you guys had a big connection, Like why would you say yes to an entire weekend

with somebody if you didn't. Oh my god, this is like really arkwerd to talk about this generally, But like, I don't even know if you guys are real people like you got us we are robots so bad only a human could have possibly come up with that. Yeah, we're real. We're real, and we're seriously trying to help out one of our listeners because he's really confused after your hangout. He does not know why you ran back to your hotel and then booked a flight home the

next morning. Yeah, I know, but like, did Eric tell you the story? I don't know. I mean, we heard about your guys are going to make a chili burger at his apartment and it was taking way longer than expected, started to get late. He tried pulling out some board games and you had to go. That's all we really know. Oh, I had to go because he kept asking me to

stay the night. And that was the first time we met, right he said he mentioned that he told you he could stay, but he kept asking me, and I was like, Eric, I don't know you, like, this has been a nice date. And he was like pouting. He was like doing the guy thing of like, oh, but like you came out here, like I really like hanging out with you all of that. Yeah, he was making you feel guilty about it. Yeah, and I'm like, I don't even know you, like you almost

like you invited me here in your fall sweet tenses. Yeah, yeah, I was understandable. We did not know that he made you feel that way. And honestly, I don't know if Eric realizes he made you feel that way either, But we can ask him right now because he's on the other line listening and wants to talk to you. Yeah. Hey, I didn't need to make you feel uncomfortable. It's just trying to be aspitable, and it's all the fact that I wasn't like answering you to talk. Staffer should say something,

Oh all right, cool. All right, Cool, it's hard. You're not a man of many words. Maybe you should have like talk to her more. I mean, maybe that's why she felt uncomfortable, because the only thing that was coming out of your mouth was that question, over and over again. Were you drinking that night? Maybe you forgot that you asked that question. Yeah, I guess. I mean I don't know. I don't think it's that rude to offer someone to not have to go drive their car rental car around

a city they all know. Yeah, but I said that I didn't want to stay, So I'm actually really glad I got a hotel because well kind of possession? Whatd that put me in? You know? Oh you paid for your own hotel? Yeah? Okay, but I mean I had a spare bed room for you. I guess I didn't really go into the details about everything, but probably should have. Yeah. No, I mean I wouldn't even have done that. I don't know you. I'm like single going into a new city

that I don't know. And then, like it would have been different if we were like boyfriend girlfriend, like officially dating, but we learned and this was just like a first time thing. Okay, Well, well do you want to be my girlfriend, I don't think that was what she meant, although it is a good question. Would you have an answer for him, samanthat it not like that. I'm not going to do that over the radio. Sorry, the radio

wasn't good. Maybe should text her the question. I don't think that he was purposely trying to make you feel uncomfortable. But Eric, I do think if you're going to invite a woman into your city, you have to go the extra mile to make sure if she feels safe and that she feels comfortable. Coming from someone who has offered and flown girls out to cities, Okay, they have a hotel, expect you do your thing. It's all about communication. Show

them that gesture. Take the front door off of the hinge, just so that you can get out whenever you want. It is wide open. I mean, Sam, maybe it just didn't cross his mind, you know, like guys don't have to think about that when they go into new cities to meet people. Yeah. Yeah, Well, I mean I feel like I've just totally screwed the pooch on this one and there's no real recovery. But I mean I'd still like to have a second chance. Was that a. Sorry,

I heard in there. I heard something about poop screwing, but let's call it. I'm sorry. No, this is just too weird. I feel like it doesn't make sense to like have strangers i've never met speaking for him. Yeah, I mean it is one of those things. You got to go with your gut on this, and that's that's what your gut's telling you. Well, I just don't want this potential relationship to go down in flames. Because so few people in this world actually bond over gross food.

There's a whole page for it, Jeffrey. It seems like there's like hundreds of thousands. Yea, how many of them actually fall in love? Yeah, that's none. Apparently they didn't think we wanted it to be one. Okay, Yeah, I mean I really wanted to try a meatball shake that I saw with her. No, Eric, I think we're done here, Samantha, because we would offer to pay for that meatball shake on your second day. I think I can afford to make a meatball shake on my own. Yeah, we were

talking to money bags. Samantha makes her own meat balls. Jeffrey, excuse me, it's broken, Jeffrey in the morning. Well, that may have been the most cringe worthy moment of the entire year. It would have been different if we were like boyfriend girlfriend, like officially dating, but we weren't, and this is just like a first time thing. Well, well, do you want to be my girlfriend? You play it? What if he's listening right now, he should. I had

to live through it once. He's the one who said it. Honestly, thank god she said no to that, because if that worked, I would have thrown my headphones down and been like, I'm done with this job. Isn't really that easy? What happened to you? All? Rooting for love? Had love? He didn't even sound like he was into there for most

of the call. Yeah, it doesn't sound like he's a guy who's like super passionate maybe about anything, like I don't be a romantic Yeah yeah, I mean I feel like he learned a lot from this, For example, not pressuring people to stay at his house when they don't want to people feel comfortable. Yeah, I don't know if he actually learned that lesson. Yeah, his lessons like next time ask her to be my girlfriend, yeah, I fly her out. Yeah, but we can help. You learned some

important life lessons in your dating life. You just make fun of you afterwards. Sure, we'll do it all. Just emailed the show. We'll call the person who wasn't calling you back Brook and Jeffrey in the morning
