This episode provides an entertaining and insightful follow-up on the couple's relationship journey, offering listeners both humor and valuable dating insights.

Recap of the Initial Date and the Makeout Hack

Brooke and Jeffrey begin by recalling the couple's first interaction at a work holiday party, where they attempted the "makeout hack"—a bold move to initiate a connection quickly.

Jeffrey (03:35):
"We've all heard the famous cliché, it's like Christmas in July."

Brooke (03:39):
"Yeah."

They explain that the initial attempt at the hack didn't go as planned, setting the stage for the update.

Introducing the Listener-Submitted Makeout Hack

The central focus of the episode is a dating tactic submitted by a listener, purportedly capable of securing a kiss within moments of meeting someone.

Jeffrey (04:35):
"I'm a high price. Wow. I don't know about that move, but one of our listeners says he was taught something that he claims can get any Member of the opposite sex to go in for the kiss right after you meet them."

Brooke expresses skepticism, questioning the feasibility of such a rapid connection.

Brooke (04:35):
"I'm going to tell you, it is hard to imagine this working. No."

Listener Call-In: Joseph and Katrina Share Their Experience

Joseph, a listener who attempted the makeout hack, joins the conversation to provide firsthand insight into the tactic's effectiveness.

Katrina (05:03):
"She said if you've been making eye contact with a woman, you know, at a bar or an event or maybe a party, all you have to do is walk up to her and you have to be nonchalant, look at them and say, hey, you're pretty. You want to make out."

Despite initial discomfort, Joseph decided to try the move at a work holiday party, leading to an unexpected and successful outcome.

Katrina (06:37):
"When the drinks came and this is an open bar. The Courage Juice came in and I spotted this really, really cute girl, and I went up to her and I gave the line and she was like, you know what? It's the holidays. Why not shut."

Brooke and Jeffrey react with amusement and intrigue, discussing the spontaneity and boldness of the approach.

Jeffrey (07:01):
"You're the most annoying person on the train because you're laughing so much?"

Brooke (07:11):
"We did. We did. Because she said nine out of 10 times, they'll go for it."

Deep Dive into the Experience and Outcomes

As the conversation progresses, Joseph reveals an inconsistency that adds a twist to the story.

Joseph (13:28):
"So I don't know if this is what Joseph told you, but we ended up making out. It's not usually the order in which I do things, but we made out and then we had a talk."

He uncovers that Joseph falsely claimed to work at Katrina's company, leading to confusion and initial frustration.

Joseph (13:28):
"So, I looked him up, and there is no record of this guy working at my company."

Brooke and Jeffrey probe deeper, uncovering that the move was instigated by Katrina's friend, adding layers to the narrative.

Katrina (15:48):
"This came from a friend of mine who does work there, and she gave me a move."

Second Date Update: From Makeout to Roommates

Six months later, Brooke and Jeffrey reconnect with Joseph and Katrina to learn about the progression of their relationship.

Brooke (21:15):
"I can't believe they're both here."

Surprisingly, Joseph and Katrina reveal that they've opted to live together as roommates rather than pursuing a romantic relationship.

Joseph (21:19):
"Well, actually, on the date, we found out that both our leases happened to be ending at the same time...so I was like, dude, why don't you just come live with me?"

This unexpected development showcases a mature and practical approach to their connection, highlighting the different directions relationships can take.

Katrina (22:08):
"Well, I'm not gonna lie. At first it wasn't easy... but I couldn't help but to feel a little bit jealous."

However, they overcame initial feelings, emphasizing the importance of compatibility and friendship.

Katrina (22:29):
"I guess it was her, man. Like, just her actually being the best roommate I've ever had."

Brooke and Jeffrey commend their decision, celebrating their platonic partnership.

Jeffrey (22:58):
"It's a really rare thing on this show to hear I got a friend for life out of a second date update."

Conclusion and Reflections

Brooke and Jeffrey conclude the episode with reflections on the unpredictability of relationships and the benefits of genuine connections, whether romantic or platonic.

Brooke (23:02):
"Why do I want another update in six months? Yeah."

They encourage listeners to remain open to various outcomes in their dating journeys, emphasizing that every experience offers valuable lessons.
