Hey, before we start this week's show, we need to tell you about the NPR1 app.

It's kind of like a port key that you touch and gets you away from our show to any one of NPR's other offerings.

It's a parachute for your ears.

You can escape this place and land safely on, say,

invisibility, the second season just launched now.

NPR would prefer you listen to that, and we can't blame them.

That and more on the NPR One app.

It's on your App Store now.

Hey Leah, what can we help you with?

So I have been kind of going on dates with guys and I recently went on a date with this

guy who was pretty much what I was looking for. He has a good job, he's super nice, super

friendly, but I didn't think this would bother me, but after our first date I just could not get over it. He's the same

name as my brother. What is your brother slash date's name?

Ryan but then when you say it out loud, it just gets, it feels like gross.

And I'm just like, I don't know.

I don't like it.

Have you talked to either your brother or your what should we call the boyfriend

seems too soon for that yeah no just like a date fine I told my brother because my brother and I are really close and my brother thought it was hilarious and all he did was laugh and say that sucks dude

and he goes I'm glad I'm ruining your life without even doing anything.

Kind of a great prank by a brother.

Exactly.

It's like you planned it.
