The show airs out of New York.
Ainsley Earhardt and Lawrence Jones, who were joined by cohosts Brian Kilmeade and Carley Shimkus, shared laughs and awkward glances as they opened up about real-life dating fails.
It all started with Earhardt teasing Jones about how he tends to overshare.
“Lawrence shares a lot about his dating life,” she said with a grin.
Jones jumped in to clarify.
“Yeah, but I share with you off the record, right? And you have managed to tell maybe three or four stories of my exes on air,” he said.
He added that some of his exes weren’t thrilled about that.
“I get complaints,” he said. “Because they go, people take clips of this and they go, really?”
Earhardt, who is engaged to fellow Fox News star Sean Hannity, admitted she knew one particular story she wanted Jones to share.
He went on a date with a woman who ordered “like 5 million appetizers” and asked Jones to pay for her gas after the date.

“She would go on this date and she claims to be so independent,” Jones began.
“She orders four appetizers on a date, and she’s wasteful. She doesn’t even eat it all.”
“Two negatives,” Kilmeade responded.
“And you know, I just thought after she said all of this stuff about being independent, I always take the bill, but I wanted to see her reach for it,” Jones added.
But things only went downhill from there.

“She didn’t,” he said.
“But it got worse, didn’t it?” Kilmeade asked.
Jones said the woman asked for more than just dinner.
“She goes, ‘You know, my car is on,’” he recalled.
“I said, ‘OK, I’ll follow you to the gas [station],’ and she wanted me to fill her up.”
Earhardt couldn’t believe it: “She said, ‘You get out and pump it and pay for it?’”
“That’s right,” Jones confirmed.
When asked if he did it, Jones said, “No, I didn’t. I pumped it, but I wasn’t paying for that.”
The hosts then joked that the woman might be listening.
“In fact, we got her on the line right now,” Kilmeade said playfully.
“Oh my gosh, that was me,” Earhardt joked, impersonating her.
“That is the worst date ever,” she added, laughing.
The moment quickly shifted to a more serious segment, but the dating horror story left a mark.
