Back to back classics start right now.

39.807 - 50.26 Brooke

Alexis, I'm going to go through some dating profile pick options. You tell me if they're immediate red flags or not. Okay. Picture of a guy hugging a dog.

50.741 - 52.163 Jose

Oh, not a red flag. That's hot.

Chapter 2: What red flags did a listener notice on a dating profile?

66.924 - 68.927 Jose

Still red? Okay. I think it's a light red.

0

68.947 - 74.393 Brooke

Okay. Pink flag? Yeah. I say green flag, but I get it. I'm not everybody.

But he's kissing the wrong animal.

0

76.255 - 76.716 Brooke

That's true.

0

76.736 - 78.097 Unknown

I say talented dog.

79.078 - 98.537 Brooke

Sometimes one... Yeah, good boy. One photo can raise the reddest of all red flags and make you want to ask a few questions. And that's exactly what happened to one of our listeners the other day when she noticed something odd on a guy's profile pic that made her say, if there is any chance of us going out, you need to explain this.

98.557 - 101.219 Jose

Is it fish and trucks together? Because that would be bad.

101.239 - 104.903 Brooke

No spoilers. You're going to find out what it was in your Second Date Update next.

105.944 - 107.545 Unknown

Second Date Update.

Chapter 3: How did the conversation about dating profile pictures unfold?

222.797 - 223.858 Alexis

Yeah, what was the explanation?

0

224.659 - 233.348 Aria

Right, so I obviously asked, who's this woman in the photo? And he responds, oh, that's my wife, but we're just friends with a laughing emoji.

0

233.8 - 234.762 Alexis

Oh, what?

0

235.483 - 236.545 Aria

That's so funny.

0

236.585 - 244.399 Alexis

Wait, it's a joke? Brooke, this is a joke. Oh, Alexis. I didn't get it. It's called sarcasm? It's called humor and sarcasm. He doubled down.

244.419 - 249.368 Unknown

You don't have to down. That is so demeaning. Don't even. That's so annoying.

249.388 - 252.113 Brooke

Mae, were you demeaned by that, or did you think it was funny?

252.177 - 276.244 Aria

no i thought it was funny i obviously knew it was a joke oh he didn't mansplain the joke after he said it so that's cool though so you guys are on the same page yeah i really liked his humor and he did this other thing that i thought was really funny too is you know he was telling me that dating apps are really hard for guys and in his experience it's been tough yeah that he's

276.798 - 278.561 Aria

Ghosted so many times.

Chapter 4: What was the listener's reaction to a guy's profile photo?

322.65 - 325.713 Alexis

I'm alone. Brooke just helped me realize it's probably my problem.

0

326.714 - 327.375 Mae

I just never went down.

0

327.355 - 333.486 Brooke

You just make fun of yourself a little too much. But you didn't feel that way, Mae? You felt like he was just doing just enough to be humorous?

0

334.368 - 340.659 Aria

Yeah. I mean, you have to get somebody's attention. You know, it's hard. There's a lot of options out there.

0

341.12 - 342.422 Alexis

So that's how he stood out.

342.442 - 345.327 Brooke

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Well, so did you guys end up going out?

346.449 - 351.888 Unknown

We did, yeah. We went out for drinks. And what was that like the first time you saw each other? It was nice.

352.008 - 355.962 Aria

I mean, he seemed really nice, a little more soft-spoken than I would have thought.

356.865 - 357.387 Brooke

Oh, okay.

Chapter 5: What humorous exchange happened regarding a dating profile?

399.538 - 405.767 Aria

I really enjoyed the conversation. I thought we really got along. We even kissed at the end of the night.

0

405.787 - 409.371 Alexis

Whoa. Okay. And musicians never kiss girls randomly.

0

409.872 - 413.657 Brooke

Wow. Okay. So what's happened since the date?

0

414.548 - 417.933 Aria

I honestly just haven't really been able to get a hold of him.

0

417.953 - 422.14 Alexis

Is he ghosting you? The irony that he's the one complaining about getting ghosted?

422.16 - 425.485 Unknown

And that's a weird thing. Like he's like talking about how terrible the dating world is.

Chapter 6: How did the listener respond to questions about a potential girlfriend?

425.525 - 432.716 Aria

I just want to quickly correct myself. I'm not able to get a hold of him on the phone, but we are texting a little bit back and forth.

0

432.736 - 432.836 Unknown

Okay.

0

432.856 - 448.919 Aria

So he's not totally silent. I mean, the thing is that I have a lot of options. I have a lot of people asking me out and, But I wanted to give Doug a chance because I really enjoyed my time with him. So I don't know. I'm just kind of thinking maybe he does have a wife.

0

449.319 - 452.504 Unknown

Right. Like there's always some truth in every joke, right?

0

452.524 - 457.771 Brooke

Maybe he's just so used to being ghosted he doesn't know how to act around a woman who actually wants to be with him.

457.991 - 461.616 Alexis

She's like, let's go out again. He's like, don't mock me. Okay, I know.

461.596 - 466.424 Aria

Yeah, I mean, I hope I didn't jock him by actually asking him to hang out again.

466.444 - 468.728 Alexis

Wait a minute, what do I do now?

468.749 - 486.76 Brooke

We'll find out. We'll come back, call him, and try and get you a second date update right after this. If you're just joining us, we're on the phone with one of our listeners, May, who, in her own words, is a woman with lots and lots of other male options online.

Chapter 7: What unexpected twist did the date take after the dinner?

951.353 - 955.737 Unknown

Red flag. It wasn't bad. You can't trust a guy in a band. Apparently, you can't trust a guy not in a band.

0
0

956.658 - 959.471 Doug

And girls always love bad boys in bands.

0

959.491 - 965.52 Alexis

But not for long, my friend. Would you honestly have been interested in him if he did not say he was in a band?

0

965.703 - 969.687 Aria

Yeah, the thing that attracted me to him was his humor and that he was funny.

970.427 - 975.312 Unknown

Well, did he come up with a good band name? Maybe he had a funny band name. Oh, yeah. Did he tell you?

975.332 - 977.173 Aria

Yeah, he did say it was called Chicken Noodle Soup.

977.534 - 981.057 Unknown

Chicken Noodle Soup.

981.077 - 995.71 Brooke

I like it. At the very least, Mae, just talking to him now, he seems like a nice, sincere guy. He is coming clean. And Doug, I'm going to give you 20 seconds here to say your final piece before we offer to send you guys out on a date. What do you want to say to Mae?

Chapter 8: What was the reason for the listener's confusion after the date?

1254.764 - 1267.394 Ethan

Well, her name is Aria. Okay. And she got me laughing over her first line, which was her biggest pet peeve is people who microwave fish at work.

0

1268.296 - 1268.717 Unknown

Brooke.

0

1270.22 - 1272.585 Unknown

I stopped bringing in salmon, okay?

0

1273.426 - 1281.222 Brooke

And where did she say that line? Oh, it's on her dating profile. Ah. Okay. So you saw that and you were like, this is my type of woman. Exactly.

1281.242 - 1284.829 Unknown

Well, and it's probably a good opening, right? Like for you to strike up a conversation?

1284.809 - 1288.896 Ethan

Yeah, because there's actually a guy that does that at my work, so we kind of bonded.

1289.998 - 1295.748 Jose

Nothing hotter than talking about bad-smelling food. That's right. Hot fish, Alexis. Stick with it.

1295.768 - 1299.915 Brooke

Every office has at least one of those people, but that's cool to bond over that.
