Segment 1: Pretty Fly for a Non-Brazilian Guy

(Starts ~03:07)

Main Theme

How adventurous is too adventurous? Cassie, a worldly woman back from Brazil, recounts her date with Luke and the odd eating habit that sent him running for the hills.

Key Discussion Points

• Introduction & Dating App Humor

  • Cassie connected with Luke, charmed by his playful Bumble profile joking:
    “Just waiting for my Bumble acronym pamphlet to come in the mail.” (05:48)
  • Banter about dating app acronyms and low bar for good sense of humor.

• The Date

  • Cassie describes herself as adventurous; suggested Mexican food and asked about tripe soup (cow intestines), setting the tone for the evening. (09:08)
  • Despite clicking online, Luke seemed reserved in person, especially at the end when he declined coming to her place. (10:31)
  • Cassie suspects her worldliness or stories about eating odd foods may have “intimidated” him.

• The Reveal

  • Jeffrey calls Luke to find out why he ghosted Cassie.
  • Luke’s Story (15:36): During dinner, Cassie swatted a fly with perfect precision, then, in front of him:
    • "She casually picked up the fly, plucked off its wings and ate it." – Luke (16:13)
  • The entire room is floored by this detail. Lots of incredulous, grossed-out reactions.

• Cassie Responds

  • Cassie confirms: bugs are a normal food in many places; living in Brazil, she developed the habit of eating ants and “doesn’t even notice” anymore. (17:56)
  • Tries to justify: “It's just second nature for me to kill a bug and eat it.”
  • Hosts struggle with the “fly” part specifically, citing their reputation for filth. Brooke, especially, is grossed out:
    “Nobody eats flies, Jeff.” (19:01)

• Bug Eating Around the World

  • Cassie and Jeffrey note that in some countries, insects (ants, dragonflies, termites) are delicacies. Cassie swears by the taste and taught that wings aren’t pleasant texture-wise. (19:13)
  • Luke is unconvinced, joking, “I could have just taken you to the field in my backyard.” (19:34)

• Final Call

  • The hosts offer a second date (“to the bug sanctuary at the zoo”), but Luke declines.
  • Cassie reflects with humor:
    “I just wasn’t paying enough attention to something that I didn’t know would really bother him. I almost said ‘bug’ him, and then I realized you guys would just laugh at me.” (21:25)

Notable Quotes & Time Stamps

• Cassie on adventurous food:
  "I'm kind of an adventurous food person...I asked about a tripe soup." (08:32)
• Luke on the incident:
  "She casually picked up the fly, plucked off its wings, and ate it." (16:13)
• Cassie on eating bugs:
  "I was just in Brazil and everyone eats ants, including myself. Like, I kind of got into it. I don't even know I'm doing it sometimes." (18:01)
• Brooke:
  "Nobody eats flies, Jeff." (19:01)
• Luke:
  "I feel like I wasted money because we could have just gone to the field in my backyard." (19:34)

Segment Takeaway

A hilariously shocking reminder that some global habits don’t translate on American first dates... especially eating flies at the table.

In-Between Reacts (Listener Feedback)

(~23:12)

• Jeffrey reads reactions from listeners:
  “A lot of people are saying ew. Instant deal breaker. Major turn off. Never again. Is it weird if I think it’s a semi turn on?” (23:23)
• The show debates whether such confidence and boldness could be attractive, but issue of hygiene is a hard no for most.

Segment 2: Baddie and the Daddy

(Starts ~24:35)

Main Theme

David’s creative pickup line works, but he makes the rookie mistake of bringing his date Jennifer to a family gender reveal party—for a cousin she’s never met. The twist? She ends up crushing on the cousin instead.

Key Discussion Points

• Pickup Line Success

  • David shares his smooth opener:
    “Hey, I’m sorry to tell you this, but I think another account is using your photos… It’s at NASA. Because you’re an absolute rocket.” (26:40)
  • Jennifer bites, leading to a real-life date.

• The Unconventional Date

  • David takes Jennifer to his cousin’s gender reveal, only tells her "on the way." She waits in the car until he waves her in. (27:54)
  • Jennifer unwittingly becomes the star—she’s asked to cut the reveal cake in front of the whole family (28:47).
  • Both hosts and Jennifer treat this as both bizarre and oddly charming.

• Family Fun, Romance Lacking

  • The party is a hit; Jennifer is popular with the female cousins.
  • Downside: David barely spends any one-on-one time with her. Drops her off at the end, no romance. (30:46)

• The Real Reason: Family Triangle

  • When the show calls Jennifer for David, she says the family is “awesome”… and that’s the problem.
  • Jennifer confesses she’s been texting and crushing on David’s cousin “D”—the expectant father from the gender reveal party (36:02).
    • “I kind of have a crush on his cousin D…we've been texting for like a week.” (36:13)
  • D is single, not with the baby’s mother.
  • The hosts are shocked; Jennifer didn't expect to "tell the whole city.”

• David’s Reaction

  • David is stunned but composed. He’s salty but not devastated, quipping:
    • “She is bogus…You do deserve to be a stepmom. You definitely do.” (39:34)
  • Brooke suggests cousin D is more to blame for “poaching” the date.
  • The show piles on; cousin jokes, swapped allegiances, and who’ll cut the cake at the next reveal.

• Wrap-up

  • Jennifer offers to help David find a new date.
  • David wants the free dinner gift card, as he “didn’t spend money on Jennifer” (40:54).

• Jeffrey (recap):
  "Pretty impressive in one phone call to go from prospective love interest to step cousin." (43:36)

Segment Takeaway

Never bring a first date to a family affair unless you’re ready for absolute chaos. And maybe don’t let your cousin’s baby daddy meet your dates...
