Listener Story 1: Zach and Lamy – The Private Jet Connection
Meeting on a Private Jet
The episode begins with a listener named Zach sharing his romantic encounter with Lamy, a flight attendant he met on a private jet. Jeffrey recounts:
[05:29] Brooke: Did you meet this lady here, or is it an international love that you found?
[05:35] Jeffrey: She was actually working the flight. She was one of our attendants.
Zach explains that he was invited on the private jet trip by a wealthy friend who had just sold his company. During the flight, Zach and Lamy developed a connection, enjoying extended conversations and even sharing a kiss.
[06:43] Brooke: Wow. She stays on the whole trip with you?
[06:55] Jeffrey: So she had a lot of time to chat. And I got to know her world.
Post-Trip Challenges
Upon returning home, Zach notices that Lamy isn't initiating contact, although she responds to his messages without reciprocating engagement.
[09:03] Jeffrey: I just feel like I'm the one trying to reconnect more. She's not ghosting me, per se.
[09:16] Brooke: You have to remember the right details.
Zach reflects on his possible mistakes, such as consistently misspelling Lamy's name on Instagram and not paying attention to the details she shared during their conversations.
[15:00] Jeffrey: He could tell that I wasn't the kind of guy that's in that social economic group, because why? My eyes were wide and my jaw was just on the floor.
Attempted Resolution
Brooke and Jose attempt to reach out to Lamy, only to discover that Jeffrey mistakenly contacted Brenda, a waitress at Applebee’s, instead of Lamy.
[33:17] Jeffrey: I don't take the orders. But someone else I'm sure can help you if you just call back.
[33:15] Jose: That's a good reminder to clean up your phone.
Key Takeaways from Zach and Lamy's Story
- Attention to Detail: Remembering a date’s name and personal details is crucial in building a meaningful connection.
- Effective Communication: Mutual effort is essential; if one party is not reciprocating, it may indicate a lack of interest.
- Avoiding Assumptions: Miscommunication can lead to confusion and missed opportunities for connection.
Listener Story 2: Corey and Brenda – The Applebee’s Misadventure
A Night Out Gone Awry
Corey shares his rather unconventional date with Brenda, which started with playing flip cup in his car's parking lot before heading to an Applebee’s restaurant.
[26:26] Jeffrey: We were playing flip cups on the hood of my car.
[26:35] Jeffrey: I wanted to add some type of activity. I provided the beer seltzer.
During dinner, Corey unintentionally flirts with a waitress, Stephanie, while trying to impress Brenda. To cover his actions, Corey introduces Stephanie as his cousin, but this leads to further confusion.
[24:15] Jeffrey: I introduced the waitress. She went right along with it.
[24:28] Brooke: You touched her at all?
[24:43] Jeffrey: I was a little...
The Dessert Debacle
The date climaxed with Corey eating two entire fudge brownies. Brenda noticed a hair in her dessert but Corey had already indulged fully.
[25:03] Brooke: You ate two whole fudge brownies in front of her?
[25:12] Jeffrey: I ate two whole fudge brownies.
Attempted Second Date Update
Brooke and Jose reach out to Brenda, discovering that she was actually the waitress Stephanie. This revelation clarifies the misunderstanding between Corey and Brenda.
[34:50] Brooke: You got the wrong person.
[34:56] Brooke: You made that impression on me, Brenda. So maybe Brenda, we can go out another time.
Key Takeaways from Corey and Brenda's Story
- Honesty is Paramount: Misrepresenting relationships can lead to mistrust and confusion.
- Stay Focused on Your Date: Engaging with others during a date can inadvertently disrespect your partner.
- Handling Mistakes Gracefully: Admitting faults and showing genuine remorse can salvage relationships.
Lessons on Successful Dating

[21:54] Brooke: Ask which of these things that you're telling me should I remember? Yeah, everything.
-
Effective Communication:
[22:00] Jeffrey: Yeah.
-
Being Genuine and Present:
[36:47] Jeffrey: I was a little. But listen, I can't help, but I have it that way.
-
Avoiding Assumptions and Miscommunications:
[21:54] Brooke: I would go with name and whether the sibling is a brother or sister. Pretty start.
