In this engaging episode of "Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update," the hosts—Brooke, Jeffrey, Alexis, and Troy—introduce and delve deeper into their popular segment, "Blind Love Is." This segment is designed to help listeners navigate the complexities of dating by pairing two single individuals who have interacted with the hosts but have never met each other. The goal is to see if sparks will fly without any preconceived notions or physical appearances influencing their connection.

Setting the Stage: The Concept of Blind Love

At [02:35], Alexis introduces the "Blind Love Is" segment, emphasizing its uniqueness:

"We have two single listeners who emailed us for other things... but they are willing to meet each other for the very first time right here on our show without ever seeing or knowing anything about one another."

Brooke adds her excitement, highlighting the anticipation and potential for genuine chemistry:

"Brooke's glasses are already on pre fog anticipation."

First Attempt: Lori and Troy's Connection Turns Awry

The first pair for the "Blind Love Is" experiment consists of Lori and Troy. The conversation begins positively, with both individuals sharing anecdotes and personal stories. However, an unexpected revelation occurs when both realize they share the same last name—indicating a familial connection. This twist leads to an awkward and humorous exchange:

• [11:20] Jeffrey observes:

  "So this wasn't all in, like, central Oregon, was it?"

• [12:00] Alexis quips:

  "She was just hitting on her cousin."

The hosts quickly realize the misunderstanding and decide to discontinue this pairing, joking about the unexpected family reunion:

"We need to put out a big disclaimer. If you believe there's any chance you might be related to the other person on the line, please make that obvious to us." ([13:08])

Introducing the Second Pair: Aaron and Jeremy

Undeterred by the first pairing mishap, the hosts introduce a new set of participants—Aaron and Jeremy—who are enthusiastic about finding a meaningful connection without any prior knowledge of each other.

• [14:55] Brooke begins the interaction:

  "Are you rich or unless you're offended."

The conversation between Aaron and Jeremy focuses on their personal triumphs and past relationships:

• [16:03] Jeremy shares his pride in enhancing his cooking skills:

  "I'm really proud, like, because I started taking cooking sessions six months ago. I've always wanted to be better, and now, like, I can make. I do brownies."

• [16:03] Jeremy continues, revealing a past romantic gesture that didn't go as planned:

  "So this one time I decided I'd do this kind of impulsive, grand romantic gesture and saw some really nice flowers, hopped the fence and my pants got caught."

Navigating Emotional Baggage

The conversation takes a deeper turn when Jeremy discusses his ex, Yvonne, and his attempts to move on:

• [17:18] Alexis comments on Jeremy's lingering feelings:

  "I don't think he meant physically."

• [18:12] Jeffrey senses the underlying tension:

  "It triggered me."

Brooke mediates the situation, offering a humorous yet empathetic perspective:

"Can you just tell me what you're looking for when you're at her social media?" ([17:55])

Jeremy admits his confusion and lingering attachment:

"I'm kind of at a loss for words. Like, it's ridiculous for me that... he spends the whole time talking about his ex." ([18:02])

Hosts' Reflections and Future Plans

Recognizing the emotional complexity of blind dating, the hosts reflect on the challenges faced during the segment:

• [19:38] Alexis remarks:

  "Okay, so it sounds like you're not that excited about it, Aaron."

• [20:28] Alexis suggests a solution to prevent future familial pairings:

  "I was thinking we just need to find him a woman named Yvonne and then... And then she won't know."

Brooke humorously vows to enhance the segment's effectiveness:

"We should totally rip off that segment and do it on our show." ([19:49])
