Oh. Ouch.
Yeah. I mean, he's a nice guy. He's just trying his best.
And, like, now that you know the only reason you didn't like the date was because of them. It wasn't because of Luke.
So that, too. Is it like he was funnier online? What do you mean?
It's more of a safe place. What are you guys talking about? That's not a second date. The point of this is to get him another shot in real life without the friends, without the training wheels.
He said his own name in such disdain.
Wait, what? You just told her you didn't need her, Luke. Yeah, what? You remember sticking up for your friends, showing her.
Okay, I see.
Okay. Hot and such a delight, isn't she?
He did a terrible job of all of those things. And a terrible thing, bringing his friends there. Yeah, without telling her.
Did you hear that? We have an inner hot girl.
I wish it was outer, but I'll take my hot girl.
Hey, welcome to the podcast. It's Brooke and Jeffrey, and you found the home of the Second Date Update. Yes! So quick question, before we launch a brand new one, how many times is appropriate to go to the bathroom during a dinner date?
Oh, yeah. Honestly, Jose.
So I'm going to go with zero for Alexis and 22 for Jose. Yeah. Oh, man. You're going to hear one of our listeners definitely overdid it right now in a brand new Second Date Update.
You know, honestly, I'm pretty grateful for them because I don't think we could do these many second date updates without the dire atmosphere that this is.
I know, but you started with Rudy. I was going to give him a Rudy entrance.
Luke, you know the movie. You know the scene.
You know what? He did it by being a smooth talker.
Okay. Do you have a line you like to use?
Is that what you said? That was the joke?
Oh, okay. Because you're the hero. That's right.
Obviously stole the cat from the family who was waiting for it under the tree.
Claire.
Hot Claire.
You're really hyping up that success part.
Do you? When was the last time you went on a date?
Yeah, I'm just saying. You know what? I think the success isn't planning it. It's that they show up. Okay.
Unless you went to sushi. Fancy. That's a fun date.
Why? Okay, hold on.
Even the waiter was his mom.
No, man. It's weird either way. You really thought it out. It's weird that you invited friends on your date. Why did you invite friends on your date?
But like, weren't they staring at you? Or like, was it ever obvious?
Jeff, here's the thing. Women will invite someone to be nearby for safety reasons, not because they don't feel like they can hold the date.
How many times did you go to the bathroom?
Okay. Okay. So you were able to game plan better conversations. Wow.
Okay. Was there any talk about future hangouts?
No.
Oh, they did do half the work. We all need closure here. That's a good point.
Yeah, that's TLSP.
Wasn't it a girl and a guy that he brought along?
Well, he's got to be able to meet him in the bathroom, Brooke. Yeah.
That is so many times.
Wait, what? You met him in the bathroom and that's the advice they gave you is you're killing it. Keep doing what you're doing.
Oh, when they were watching from the bushes as you said goodbye to your wife. Imagine them putting thumbs up from across the table.
And binoculars.
That's impossible. I think maybe just don't bring up friends at all, Jeff, is the idea. Until she probably does.
This is just supposed to be kind of fun.
Are they viral on TikTok?
Okay.
No, it's the one where they steal our audio and they use those video games.
Subway Surfers for Life.
I never found that.
Well, he has a name.
Oh. Oh, that's bad timing. Just this week?
I mean, it's a fairly common name. It is.
Okay. I thought you were going to be like, again. Wait. Okay. And then you remember or you don't?
Man, you wish we called about the other Luke?
Okay.
Is it as simple as you just have so many other dates planned that you can't fit Luke in?
Oh. What? What do you mean?
I mean, to be fair, I do that all the time. I love when a first date comes in and I'm at a restaurant. It is like, it's better than any HBO show. I do imagine Brooke talking.
I talk about it with my kids. I'm like, did you hear what they said? No.
It's pretty cool you're cracking up other tables. And here's the thing. Even if Luke did know them, I mean, I've gone into restaurants where I've seen people that I know just by coincidence. Yeah. He never said he knew them. I almost mentioned that normally. You'd be like, hey, is that Bill? Did you ask, though?
No, I think he's cute. I would go out with him.
Yeah.
Oh, no. He is going to die when he hears that one of the guys from the table came over.
Yeah, he's like the guys from the restaurant at the other table right now.
Sorry.
Wow, she's really a nurse. Probably won't say sorry now, huh?
She should not apologize.
No, him. Him for calling her Nurse Ratched. Come on, Laura.
That's nice.
So wait, you drank his smoothie that you brought her?
When she needed the extra nutrients to go search for help, he was just sitting there on the ground.
I mean, Troy, at the end of the day, she finally did get someone to help you, right?
Laura, you were listening and you heard what he said about you doing the tourniquet and calling the Uber and all that stuff. He just wasn't very impressed. What were you thinking listening to that?
Does that mean you already brought up that point while you guys were on the mountain together, Troy?
It's going to be a hummer. They can get all over, like, every type of terrain.
She's got good energy. Come on, Troy.
That's a really sweet thing to say. He basically blessed her and her entire family whenever they go on adventures together. Troy, I'm feeling some sort of shift in you. Like you're wanting to say yes to another date with Laura, especially when we offer to pay for it.
I mean, seriously, it was an Instagram-worthy hike. Like, it can't be that hard.
And I'm just trying to ask you if you'd like to meet up with her one more time. It doesn't have to be on a mountain. You could do it in the city somewhere. Yeah. And we would pay for the date.
That will end in injury. Oh, yeah. Maybe make a reservation at the ER ahead of time before the date happens.
Is that how the ER works now, Jeff?
Just in case. Get your reservation in early.
That's kind of cute.
Troy, you're going on a date with Nurse Ratched. Good for you. I hope not. Oh, my God.
Again, he's not bleeding. I think it's kind of a freaky thing that she's into. You guys have fun, okay? Oh, man, you know what I couldn't stop thinking about the entire time we were on the phone with them?
What? Do I want to know? I'm not sure.
It was the hiking movie with James Franco where his arm gets stuck for 127 hours on a trail. Oh, no, and he has to saw it off.
He has to cut off his own arm. That's based on a real story.
We were dangerously close to that story this time.
I never saw that movie.
Laura was going to go looking for help, and then she was going to come back up the hill with a buzzsaw, be like, okay, hear me out. I have an idea.
Luckily, he was able to see through it and realize she really was just trying to help, doing whatever she could.
Did he realize that, you think?
Or maybe he was trying to get off the phone with us. Like he was trying to get off that mountain.
I think he just needs to realize that she's not going to be his person in case of emergency.
Yeah. Yeah. Not even like a serious emergency, like the mildest of emergencies. She will absolutely panic. Yes. And that's okay.
That's okay. We all react differently.
That's right.
I want an update from them. Yeah, I hope they write back.
I'm sure we'll get a call from them when they're in the ER at some point. But if you want some help with your dating life, feel free to email the show. We can call that person who's not calling you back. And if you want to see our big resume of second date updates, there's lots and lots and lots, hundreds of them.
Way to make it business-like and not fun, Jeff.
Yeah, I don't know. You can check it out wherever you get your podcasts at Brooke and Jeffrey.
All right, we're here. It's a second date update. Thank you so much for finding us, whether you got here because you saw a viral TikTok or maybe you saw something on Facebook or maybe you just like to punish yourself. Yeah. With our segment. We appreciate it. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And you have been asking for it, and we are finally delivering. Yeah.
Before we get to your brand new second date update today, huge news. We have officially launched Merch for a Cause, a second date update line. Yay! It's so cute. Shirts and sweatshirts. Yes. Crew neck hoodie. Both options. 100% of proceeds will support Convoy of Hope's LA wildfire relief efforts.
It's for a good cause, too. And honestly, it's so cool. It is. It is nice. I just love it. Very cute. So please go check it out. Of course, we're going to have a link in the show notes so you can go purchase there. Or just hop on over to our website, which is brookandjeffrey.com. Yep, right on the front page. Oh, and if you get one, tag us in it on Insta.
Yeah, yeah, totally. Good idea. Please. Atbrookandjeffrey. Thank you so much for being here. We hope you love it as much as we do. And now let's get to the show.
She's back. Oh, who's back? Return callers of the Second Date Update.
That's fun.
Laura, you may remember her. She was the avid gym goer who roasted her date when she found out he tried to use a coupon at Nobu.
Because he claimed he didn't know that sushi could be that expensive.
Wow, you came back, Laura.
The whole thing about Laura is she's got high-end taste, and I'm guessing that she is totally worth it. But those types of ladies can be a little bit hard to please, and now there's another guy who's ghosting her, probably because he's so intimidated by you, Laura. That's what I would guess. But welcome back to our show. It's nice to have you on.
I love that you have high-end taste, but free when it comes to any sort of dating advice.
Yeah. She knows where to find good value.
Yeah.
That speaks a lot about you, Laura. So apparently this is a new guy that you want us to call today, right? What's his name?
Troy. Troy. You said it with a big sigh. What's going on with Troy?
Okay, so you took some time off of dating after having to recover from your experience with us.
Okay. Good for you for deciding to get back out there.
You meet Troy online on an app?
And he just has, like, a big fan of $100 bills in his hand, just, like, wafting himself with it?
His body. Yeah, sure. Wait, that was the only thing that Alexis just perked up to.
Okay. Oh, yeah. Hot body active Troy. Only thing that matters. All right.
So did you initiate conversation with him?
Okay. Okay. So you're picking your hiking based on the quality of picture you're going to get from it.
Yeah. Okay. But hiking's a fun activity. He's an active guy. Is that what you proposed?
No, no, no, no, no. It's about the Instagram photo. Oh. Not about the hike.
So that's cute. You got cute pictures. Did you take pictures together?
Probably saw like a cool chipmunk and he like didn't know where to step.
I'm sure that's it. That's terrible.
You're going to call in park rangers or what?
Wow. Did someone come help?
Oh, wow.
Well, he's wincing in pain.
Right. And what'd you take more pictures of each other while he was sitting down on the ground?
I mean, it's kind of wild that he hasn't, I'm assuming he hasn't called you at all.
yeah that's why i called him like he was talking a ton and now he's not talking at all and i don't understand and like if it's because he got hurt that's really kind of dumb he's not embarrassed because like getting hurt is an accident i don't know he could be like if he's a big buff dude you think he's like oh no i slipped on a rock i mean this is a little bit unlike our typical dates that we talk about on the show where it's like really quick you'd like coffee chat and then you're gone this is the two of them sitting on a mountain together for an hour with nothing to do but talk uh
And take pictures of each other. Was there anything in the conversation that happened there that might be a little bit of a red flag for him?
Oh, why not?
So you sprained your ankle. How many kids do you want to have?
I feel like this always comes up, and I just want to get ahead of it. The medics that came to save him, are they male? Are they female? Are they attractive? Are they unattractive?
Like you weren't flirting with the hot paramedic guys that came up to save him.
Okay, and I'll just say, if you talking to a man is something that he wouldn't call you back for, that's a red flag. Come on, yeah. Red flag on his part, you know.
Well, okay, this is going to be an interesting one. We're going to call Troy for you. And first, I mean, see if he answers the phone.
Well, just see if he needs his little boo-boos kissed.
Yeah.
Watch.
He needs just a screen. Thank you, Alexis.
Maybe. Hopefully his phone is within reaching distance. And if he answers, we're going to ask him, what's going on? Why aren't you calling back Laura after a great hiking date?
Well, a great date, bad hiking experience. Yeah.
Hopefully he's not still up on that mountain trying to get down. But we're going to find out when we reach out right after this. If you're just joining us, we're in the middle of a tense, heart-pumping, ankle-throbbing second date update with Laura. Heart-pumping because she went on a romantic mountain hike with a guy named Troy.
Ankle-throbbing because Troy fell and sprained his ankle on the walk down the hill. It was so bad, he couldn't make it down on his own. So Laura had to call out for help until medics could arrive. Stayed with him the whole time, kept him calm, gave him mouth to mouth. And after all of that, after saving his life and snatching him from the jaws of death, Troy has the gall to ghost her?
Wow. Wow. Maybe she had bad breath during that mouth to mouth session.
I don't care. I'm just going to say it. Troy is a giant bee.
Big baby. Okay? And I am dying to hear what he has to say.
Don't you die too, Jeff.
What, if any, cute woodland animals he saw and has to report on on the trail path. Laura, are you with me?
Oh, gosh.
So forgiving.
Has anyone thought maybe he's upset that you talked all this big talk about the gym, but then were too weak to piggyback him all the way back to the car?
I would have done it. My dad says I'm good German work in stock. I'm built to carry heavy things.
Why do you have to work that into every single second date update that we do? We're not even going to bring that up to Troy if he answers the phone because we don't want to get too excited about it. But let's see if he picks up. We're going to dial his number right now. Here we go.
Hello? Hey, is this Troy? It is. Oh, Troy.
Jeff, you be nice. Hi, Troy.
Hello? Sorry, it's confusing. I'm just kidding, man. We're doing something on our show. We hope you'll stick around and be a part of it. It's called Second Date Update. Okay.
Have you heard of that before?
No. No, I haven't.
Okay.
Okay. It's where we help out our listeners who have gone out on a date with somebody and a second meetup hasn't happened yet. We try and help facilitate it or figure out why the other person doesn't want to.
And that seems to be the situation, at least according to one of our listeners named Laura, you met the other day. She reached out to you?
Yes. She's like worried too. Dude, it sounds like you had a crazy hike where you got injured. We heard all about it.
That's the confusing part to her because she essentially saved you from the brink of death.
She did not say that. Jeff exaggerated.
I'm not saying that the thought crossed her mind to leave you on that mountain to fend for yourself, but she did do a lot to help.
She did, after you sprained your ankle.
Yeah. I'm just frustrated because we're, we're friends of Laura's and we really just want to help her out. So if you could maybe explain your side of it.
She said that. She felt really bad for you. I know we're laughing, but that's just because that's what we do.
I mean, that's why she called everybody she knew. Got emergency services up there.
That'd be way too hard to carry someone away.
That's unfortunate, but that's just bad. She's trying. She's putting in the effort to help you.
You have a car. You don't need a car. You need someone to carry you down.
100%.
Well, come on. Give her the benefit. You know, some people don't think well in emergency situations.
To have a tourniquet? It actually could hurt a lot. It cuts off your circulation.
It was preventative. A preventative tourniquet just in case something got worse.
I mean, at the end of the day, she's trying. She's not a medical expert. She's doing her best. You can't even give her that.
Okay, well, I feel like maybe she was panicked, a little freaked out in the moment, just like you were, doing whatever she could think of to try and help you out. And you don't have to take that from me. You can listen to Laura right now because she's on the other line waiting to talk to you. Wait, are you serious? She's been listening the whole time? Yeah, that's how the segment works, man.
Yeah. I want to hear that and his favorite restroom.
Hey, you in the bathroom? He's a toilet king.
Really.
The ambiance was nice. It is so nice to me when people leave reviews. Can't you see that?
Kelly! Okay. Jeff got lost. Not really, sir.
He's out there doing a hero's job. He's trying to get the public to find a good bathroom to use. All right.
Not before, no. Absolutely. If I went and saw a review for a restaurant that said it had an icky bathroom, out. Sorry, kids.
Listen to me. That is clean.
I mean, Kelly, think of how creative those reviews were. I mean, you've got a man who is good with words.
What's wrong with it?
Oh my, I did not even think of that. Are you asking her to review his? I wasn't that excited about it.
You cannot pass up this opportunity. I don't know.
Now she's on board.
If they ever get married, they're going to rent one of those really fancy porta potties where it has like, you know what I'm saying?
Yep.
I like it. John 101. Yes. Okay. That's slang for toilet, Alexis. Thank you. I didn't know. It's kind of old reference. I'm never going to need to know.
I'm not sure how it happened. I'm sorry. You nerd out about anything enough, and it's like, oh, he has interests. If you're passionate. He has hobbies.
They're going to be so cute.
Wouldn't it be cute if we sent a plunger to them on their first date? Cute's not the word.
All right, it's time for your brand new second date update. Welcome to the Brooke and Jeffrey podcast. We're so glad you're here. And can I just ask, after you listen to this second date, can you tell me what this guy does is creepy or helpful? Ooh, yeah, we can put up a poll on here. Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah. Because I'm sticking with helpful. I really, really appreciate him.
You were his biggest fan, honestly. I still am. You were. You'll understand when you hear it. But let's get to some comments real quick. Sierra Taylor 5428 wrote, Brooke and Jeffrey, please say hello to eight-year-old Tavion in Boise, Idaho. Come on, Brooke. You'll feel bad if you don't. He listens every day. Are we getting blackmailed into saying hi?
I never feel bad about hurting an eight-year-old's feelings. Sorry, Tavion. It's not personal, okay? I have my own eight-year-old at home. And our last comment of the day comes from Mikeow1578. Says, my workday as a CDL driver is so much better. Taking my bumps of love one podcast at a time. Bumps of love came out weird. It did, but I kind of liked it. I may use it in my lingo. Sounds bad.
We're good. You know, it depends on how you take it. All right, here we go. Let's get into this second date update. I think you're going to love it. It starts right now.
I put it in my purse usually. I don't even have it out. Oh, wow.
Do your hands start to shake? I got one hand in my purse under the table. I got to touch it so I feel it vibrate. I just saw her with like a twitch at the table the whole time and she couldn't see it.
You just put it on do not disturb if you don't want text to show up. Yeah, I think that it's polite to put it face down.
I would think it's you're boring and I would rather look at my phone.
We know where the phone is right now, Paul. Wait, where is it? Up to his head.
where on your body is that phone paul i'm impressed i like that you were confused okay paul don't worry about the phone just let's talk about the girl that you met what's her name when i was this girl kelly okay and where did you meet kelly so yeah we've known each other at the gym and we've talked there okay so would you say you're friends like gym friends before you guys went out
All right. Friendly.
Sorry. Sorry. We get excited.
Okay. That's a good line on her part, too, because it's like, I'm very wanted. Yeah. I have to turn men down all the time. Totally.
Yeah.
You guys really can't skip one hour at the gym to go get one drink?
Whoa.
Whoa, why would you do such a thing, sir?
Oh, my God. She doesn't have anything to hide. I know, but here's the thing. Like, if I was on a date, my phone would be inundated with text messages from my friends.
No, I sent those already to whoever I was on.
Naked is never an issue for me. Gotcha.
Like, ladies? I don't know. Now I'm starting to think you're trying too hard, though. Oh, I see. I can see that.
Like, yeah, you had your friend text on purpose.
The guys aren't that organized, so I doubt it. And who cares? He just called you pretty. Like, I mean, he's doing the dishes, right? He's so excited.
no absolutely not okay oh my gosh that was good just got it like that bro very smooth i mean could you tell she was flattered yeah sure girls like being called pretty right i mean well and the trust like you know again could be too trusting but it's at least not the opposite where it's like don't look at my phone give that back to me or it's like really you have nothing to hide you're not cheating on anyone probably never thought about that paul but what happened afterwards
And that is hot. Can I just say?
I mean, I don't care.
OK, have you seen her at the gym?
Maybe we're just being overeager.
Is he sure there's nothing that's weird on your phone? In his mind, he says. Well, she has the passcode, you know?
Like, not sketchy, but just weird.
It just sounds like such a nice time. Yeah. And maybe that's the problem. It was so nice and sweet.
And you replied? You, like, reply promptly to your friends, too. Like, it can wait 10 minutes. Like, also, a quick reply or, you know, did he give his friends the ick as well? I don't know.
The more we talk about it, the worse it's getting for me.
It sounded like such a fun time you and Paul had.
Yeah. Like, they have, like, hotter people they follow than you?
Oh, my God. He did the dishes.
No, that's so trustworthy. Yeah, we couldn't believe he did that.
Can we guess that maybe you looked at other things on his phone before?
The carrot is dangly right there. You're hungry.
Oh, you went deep into his phone. Those are personal. Yeah, that can be like a journal sometimes.
Oh, come on. Hey. I think you're trying to find something wrong with him because you're scared it was going so good.
His parents clapped. Well, okay. Why did you not tell us all of this part?
Yeah, it's true.
Okay, you're at your home with your parents playing restaurant. Yeah.
Yeah. Oh, God, Luke.
I think the thing is, you are a really nice guy. I think maybe you just need to be more upfront with people.
I like that part. Yeah.
Yeah. Already. Just text flooding in. Read one, Brooke.
I can't choose.
Oh, really?
Yeah, but Jeff, he doesn't. Like, all he wants ladies to know is that he used to be in a band. Like, he wasn't honest about anything about his life.
Nobody has those boxes.
Yeah.
Are we calling that rap music?
Don't you speak of Macklemore that way.
Or the real him. Yeah.
Or just let him sing for you. That was impassioned.
Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and you found the Second Date Update podcast. Welcome. I'm just going to say, after today's second date, I will never hear one specific Macklemore song the same. I mean, I already tried to avoid listening to it, but now I'm going to try extra hard to avoid it. Oh, you were in for a treat and hopefully a big laugh right now.
But first, we've got to read some comments from our lovely podcast. I love just Kay. That's all they wrote is their name. Kay met someone from the UK who was listening to this show. Whoa.
It's now my third week binging in, and it's hilarious.
Just Kay? No, the British guy that she recommended. Does he still like you enough to do that? Yeah, but he never listens. Oh, wait. It does say it's his new girlfriend. Oh, that's why.
Let's get the second date started right now.
We've had a lot of returned people lately.
Strays just always come back.
Oh, she didn't like it. It is the one where she didn't like her look because he didn't use a filter.
No. All of it's fine if you use the right filter. Don't you remember that whole segment?
Or you leave it up to me.
I love when you say you're better, but you're back with us.
Be harder to ghost you? Wait, hold on. What do you mean know who I am? He just means as a person. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Do you normally not do that?
Give them the essence of who you are as a person.
Why wouldn't you just not tell her?
Okay, did she know it was a microphone? Did she pick up on your hint?
I mean, the shape of that is not good. I was just thinking that, Brooke. Yeah, it's a shape that can be mistaken.
She's not getting it. You never clarified?
Because you still want her to gaslight.
She doesn't know she's playing. Pictionary, Jeff.
What happened next?
Hey, that's a fun song.
Yeah, thrift shop. How is that a hint that you're in a band?
Oh, God. Okay. After that drawing, I'm going to guess she said no.
It does sound like an Alexis move where you just want to make people happy. Maybe she's being playful.
Leave him alone.
The visual. Why are we even calling her? Yeah, bro, this is a train wreck. Oh, buddy.
I mean, maybe she liked it. Okay, okay, we're teasing you a lot, but maybe she liked it.
Oh, that's good. She did like it.
Wait, was it Thrift Shop again or a different song?
It was the name of your night, dude. You know what, though? If this works out, that's your song as a couple. That's it. That's your wedding song. That's everything.
Did she mention anything about seeing you again?
I mean, we could talk to her, or we could just play Macklemore for her for four minutes and see what her response is. Get her ready for the intro.
I'm not guessing.
I can't believe we haven't asked for a sample from Luke of his skills.
Oh, I'm sure Luke has choreography. Don't you, Luke?
I got it.
We just never got there.
I'm still confused how the knowledge of you previously being in a band really opens up who you are. It just sounds like maybe you think that that's what chicks like.
Every band starts somewhere, right? And ends, because he's, again, not in it.
Great question.
Oh, no. Big lovers of music.
Uh... No. No.
All right. Sounds like it was a pretty memorable night with Luke, right?
He did tell us that like going back to his place was a surprise. I don't know how that felt to you.
Oh, you're hungry? Well... You know, I get it. Sometimes I make poor decisions when I'm hungry. You're like, ah, safety, but... Well, he had food ready for you.
Yeah, was it a good dinner that he made?
Oh.
So he took you back to his parents' house? Is that what you're saying?
So you're sitting at the table with all of them?
I'm not going to say this is what I was imagining, but it was. How did you know?
Okay. He left that detail out. We did not get any information about his mom and dad.
Yeah, that way, if he wants a drink too, right?
You got a ride home.
Go for it. That's a good point.
Hmm, she says. Shocking, right?
Dude.
If you live with your parents, that's okay. You don't have to lie.
See, he's thought this through. That was a weird jump there, Jeff. But you may want to ask for plants at your wedding. I think he is so cute, and he is going to all this effort just to make sure that you feel good and feel happy, Cassie. That should be a huge plus for you.
Oh, that sounds like a novel I'd read. Yeah.
Oh, plant on plant.
Now I'm not going to read it.
Let's correct that statement real quick. By we, you mean you and Jose. Yeah. You were doing lots of like, whoa.
Didn't you just start this with maybe we were a little overdramatic? Yeah.
Hey, welcome to the Second Date Podcast. Thank you so much for being here. We don't normally do this, but you are really special to us. So Jose is going to give out his personal phone number right now.
More than your own phone texting, basically. I mean, it's a better way to reach him. That's all we're saying. And don't forget, we've got 45 more minutes, a full show, an hour long. Oh, my God. Can you take that much? If you want it, go for it. It's over at the Brooke and Jeffrey main podcast feed. But right now, we're all about the second date. So let's get it started.
I don't know how a French accent can be unsexy, but you made it happen.
That's okay. And bougie.
Safety, sure. Yeah. So what was it like when you very first met Derek?
They don't have stores where they sell babies, Jose, at the mall, even bougie malls. A baby watching date? I know.
Put all the babies in the window. You better work on your return policy. I'm going to let you know.
I love it. I mean, cute plant shops are so fun right now. Yeah. Is that cool?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, nice. Figgity fig. Figgity fig. Hey, fun to say. It's better than a Venus flytrap or something, you know?
Snake plant. But average. They live a long time. They're hard to kill. They are very hard to kill. They're sturdy. They're a good first plant for people who don't have them.
I don't think she'd be calling us and asking why he's not doing that. That'd be pretty obvious.
Hey. Yeah. All right. This all sounds good. Like, I mean, I could totally understand why you're so confused, why he's not calling back.
Oh, they're real plant babies.
Leaf misses you. I haven't considered it, no.
All I could think of was the love fern from the rom-com, you know? She's like, you killed our love fern. Your plant is still alive, right?
Okay, I took it too far
That's sweet.
Dude, solid. Solid names.
No, I'm pretty sure they ordered a round of chicken tenders.
It's actually an adorable first date. Yeah, they bought plants together.
Is it opposite for plants?
Yeah, yeah. It just feels like it fell off a little bit. Yeah. All right.
Hey, listen, he's taking care of Gertrude.
He just left Leaf.
Oh, that's a good point.
Good morning.
That's weird, you said. Sorry, your phone's a little hard to hear, Derek.
He just said in the morning, though.
Derek, I think we're calling you for a great reason, though.
You sound like one of our commenters from the podcast. Yeah.
And it sounded like an adorable date. Just so you know, she does know that you guys have been texting a little bit. It just feels like you're maybe not interested or something.
So I don't know why she'd be confused, Jeff.
Oh. Wait a minute. What's going on? Are you in a relationship?
You're single. Okay. And you liked Cassie, right?
Mistake?
But a mistake with who? Because she really likes you.
Yeah, we even knew Gertrude and Leif Erikson are the name of the plants.
You ran over your own child? You guys are being so dramatic. Oh, God. It's not a real baby. You killed Gertrude? Oh, no. Hello?
Listen, why would you not be calling her back just because the plant fell off the car?
Just tell her the truth. Cassie would think it's a cute story. I don't know. She sounds pretty upset. I don't even know what to say.
I mean, Cassie, you're being, like, funny right now, right? You're not being serious. Kind of, I guess. It's really troubling, though. Is it?
Oh, come on. That's cruel.
I know. It's not like it says anything about who he is. You're a good person.
Yeah, what do you do? Bury the body and then it just grows back again? She obviously did mean something to you, Cassie. That's why he went back to the store the next day. Hey, that's a good point, Brooke.
He's funny.
Technically, if you've ever driven on grass.
And then
ghost you until the new plant comes in yeah wait so the new plant is coming so yes it took five days to get here it's coming tomorrow that's what i've been waiting for okay so you were gonna one more day you were gonna just ask her out then yeah i was waiting for tomorrow making sure the plant got here so in case she came over and saw that there was no plant i wouldn't get in trouble all right that is a lot for you to process but what are you thinking right now
You were looking for a low credit score this whole time. I was thinking of a good one.
Listen to her voice.
Are you interested in something like that?
What does this mean? Hold on. This is a totally different type of relationship.
Is it like an offer letter that gets passed over? Or how do you work out the details? She might need to unblock him to text the details.
This is so strange. Like at the beginning of this, I thought that you were upset because you were looking for something forever. But you're just...
I don't know. Let's get you started on this. I feel like anything that sounds too good to be true, Jenna, you need to be careful of.
It's like there's some control things.
I feel like we're going to pay for it. Let him pay for it, Jeff.
Look at that. And they say romance is dead.
Dude, he was like, remember, he's like, oh, I made that sarcastic statement trying to be funny. And I think that maybe I came off too braggy.
Yep.
Yeah, I mean, there's not a lot of heart in it, that's for sure. I think we can assume what's going to happen. Yeah.
Oh, I like that. You know what I mean? Give me 10%. I think that's called a pimp.
Yeah.
all right you found a brand new second date podcast today it's brooke and jeffrey in the morning and hey thanks for being here uh today's second date i'll just say this i think it'd be really interesting if people left in the comments what the weirdest question you can ask on a first date is oh yeah i would say how much blood does your body hold oh huh that is how many pints exactly yeah or what kind of duct tape is your favorite wow
Although you could ask for blood type. That could be useful information.
How about, do you mind if I take my tooth out?
That's definitely happened to you before. I just, the one, you know, it's interesting. I went on one date with one guy, and he was so hot until he took his front tooth out.
Oh, yeah. So anyway, not ours. We want to know yours because there is definitely, definitely an odd one in today's Second Date Update. So leave it in the comments or if you're on the iHeartRadio app, you can actually leave us a voicemail. So do it there as well. And let's get this second date started.
Honestly, it's been so long since I've blocked anyone, though.
I feel like years.
I was thinking unsolicited pictures or what. Oh, yeah.
What do you mean kind of date? Was it like one of those pre-dates where you just meet for coffee for 20 minutes to see if a real date's worth it?
What?
In a turnaround? On the same day that you matched?
How?
And that's okay. I mean, that's to be expected. Yeah. What was the chemistry or attraction level?
Did things change after that moment?
Or the opposite, too fast. One-steppers?
Or just one of those guys who walks in front of a woman the whole time, like a step and a half. It drives me nuts.
I mean, I'm just wondering when you got blocked. Did you, like, leave the date and immediately she blocked you, or was there a couple of texts back and forth beforehand? Good question.
No, you can tell that you were blocked. It never sends. It just never says delivered. It's unfortunate. You can check months later.
You guys, what if it's just an accident? What if she just got, like, two left thumbs? You gotta confirm. I don't know. Sometimes I accidentally hit buttons in my back pocket or something. And, like, she's like, why isn't this guy calling me? That's a hopeful cookie.
Yeah, she should definitely give you another chance.
We asked all about whether she liked him and what it was like with him. We never asked, did the dog like you?
Yeah, I don't think he did. She was just joining him on her dog.
I think that's okay as long as there's no growling or nipping.
Right from the beginning, too.
Calm down, boy. You're sniffing of so many butts.
Hey, Jeff. Welcome to the show.
Yeah. There's a lot of us in here.
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
That just sounds like a miscommunication. Didn't he say he needed to get his cardio in for the day?
Okay, so are you saying you were disappointed that he didn't have a dog?
Oh, that's a little personal. No, he sounds like he's trying to be funny.
Did you tell him?
People in a 30 minute conversation.
Everybody has different comfort levels when it comes to money.
Are you sure he wasn't joking, though? Like, when you didn't tell him, what kind of response did he give you?
You want to know her social security number next time?
Because he wants to be with you forever. Unless you have a score of under 750. Yes.
I mean, it's not very romantic. No. Yeah.
What? Hmm? Oh, like a sugar daddy situation? What are you asking?
See, I heard it as he wants you to be the sugar mama. That's why he's asking your score. Can you clarify, Aaron?
We know that without acting them out. Nobody ever says, man, look at that hot golden retriever.
Are you saying that you're always a dog?
He didn't memorize your profile. So you're not willing to back down on the dog stuff?
Maybe it's kind of convenient. It's like a girlfriend and a pet all wrapped up in one. Hey!
Yes, I would.
I mean, that was strange. I don't know how. I don't want to be judgy because everybody's into their own things and stuff. It's just, like, maybe you stick within that community that's also into the same. You know what I mean? Like, maybe we date within the community that understands what you like. Yeah.
I know.
It's something I could never actually say.
Just about. So we're ready. Which one's the dog?
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Oh, y'all lit us up yesterday and I love it. Thank you so much. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, the home of the second date update. And we do have a brand new second date to get to. But yesterday's Awkward Tuesday phone call really hit a nerve.
Yeah. We got so many comments on our socials at Brooke and Jeffrey. Up on the Spotify is just so many. And I love hearing your guys' reactions. A couple. This one says, sweet Joseph, husband of Mary, but not father of Jesus. What? The question remains, if her future husband knew about Jacob, maybe he would change his mind about it.
Luis Olivas wrote us and said, I feel so bad for Jacob. You're better than her, Jacob. Yay! Oh, and I love this one from Danny. I'm so sorry for Jacob. Made me want to get there and drink with him. Oh, wow. I live in Columbia. It's going to be a trip.
Hey, thanks for being with us. Thanks for subscribing, for liking, for doing all the things, for sharing the show, and definitely for commenting. We love you guys. All right, let's get you to your brand new second date update. It starts right now.
Like what? Like a restaurant you like?
Yeah, you really need to change up that mask because everybody knows it now.
Jeff is literally playing with his beard as he's talking to you and just stops.
That's on you then to not go out with them if you don't like the beard because you can see his picture, right?
And he shaved it off.
Were you able to recognize him?
Oh, that happens a lot earlier than that. They just do it a little bit more subtly than you realize. And then finally a year later, you're like, wait, everything's changed? Why am I attracted to everybody now?
Yeah, for him liking you.
I thought she was going with humping a leg.
Does that work? I would think if I saw that on a dating app, I'd be like, oh. Why do you do that?
So did he compliment you on how you looked when he met you?
That's true. You know, it is true. The one by my house, the shelves are literally empty. It's so weird.
I'd like to take a rob this place. It's really weird. My pharmacy is not like that at all. It's more of a conversation starter than people would actually. I guess it is.
Oh, like a little nibble? Is that what you meant?
He didn't like it. What? What's wrong with this guy? You're nudging him with your nose. I'd be like, get off of me. Did you really do that? I thought she was joking.
I guess you were trying to do an inside joke thing. It just fell flat, unfortunately. Was that the only awkward moment?
Yeah, we'll give him a golden retriever. Why does it sound dirty?
I don't know, but I wanted to get labradoodled. But now I'm going to get that instead? Of course Brooke does.
I mean, when you set up like that, it sounds funny. It sounds like a funny moment. It's actually endearing almost. It kind of sucks that he didn't take it very well.
I don't know. I mean, it could honestly be that you only put one picture up on your Hinge account, and so... Maybe she looks a little different from it. I mean, it could backfire.
Maybe you just weren't what he was expecting.
Oh. Okay. I think that that should be fun. Yeah. Look, if a man, you would go, yeah, actually, you would. Never mind. Yeah. I mean, maybe he just doesn't have a good sense of humor, and then you don't want to date him anyway. Brooke would be like, you're a dog? I'm a walrus. I'm a walrus. We're playing games.
There's no base for nose rubbing. It wasn't a kiss. Well, maybe in his mind it was. It's kind of like a bunt to me, you know, if we're going to do a baseball analogy. It's weird. Why does no one think it's weird?
What's up, Michael? Good morning. Yeah, we heard a little bit about a date you went on.
What else are you supposed to say? Just how are you?
Yeah, they're really popular. Yeah, we have a good podcast.
Probably talking about our podcast. Oh, maybe ours. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, I remember. It's going to where you explain why you haven't called her back.
The dog thing, huh?
Yeah, there was some humor mixed in.
She was putting her tongue in the wine? Did your tongue reach the wine in the glass? They filled it a good fill. I mean, that's a nice bar. I'd like to know what bar she went to.
And that was the indicator of how much she liked you is how much she was panting.
But that's good, though, because a wet nose does indicate she's healthy. Yes. Why is it wet? She's had all of her shots.
She told us that she knew that was a regrettable moment for her.
Yeah, I bet you're a little embarrassed.
No, you. What? You said he doesn't have to be embarrassed.
Yeah, I thought you guys went to dinner. I didn't think that you just brought pizza to her house. No, this is when he was still at my house.
No.
Jeffrey's being sarcastic. Dude, it's like an unwritten rule. If you stay the night at somebody's house, you leave in the morning when they leave.
I think that TV's going to be on the corner, Kyle.
No, just be normal. You know what? If there's no middle ground, Jeffrey, let's go with that.
It's not me. It's the guy. He could have just gone home that night and he would have had another date. It is not my fault.
It sounds like marriage. Is that good?
I started by saying it was good that she let him stay because it obviously meant she trusted him. I didn't know that it obviously meant that he didn't get the messages.
Oh, I have a headache.
Hey, you found it. The home of the second date update. It is Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And thanks for being here on the podcast. Yes. You know, I love all the comments we've been getting from all over the world. And I think this one really sums up what these second dates are. Nicola Huber in Brazil wrote, the call just gets worse and worse.
It's true. It does. It's like a guilty pleasure listening, though, you know? We love when you comment. We love when you subscribe even more. So please do it. And, hey, just sit back and enjoy the Second Date Update. It's brand new, and it starts right now.
God, we're giving you all sorts of ideas for your next date, Kyle.
Like, I'm scared. I want to know.
What's her name, by the way?
Yeah. Stop.
Sarah. Okay. But what made, I mean, there's a lot of hot girls on the dating apps. Like, what made her stand out so much that you wanted to bring her a surprise gift?
Literally, that's it. Is that easy? Is that right?
You wanted to buy her affection. I see.
I just asked him why she stood out. Nobody had an answer. Besides hot.
That's what it is. I want more.
I just want them to have, most people have a connection. That's all I'm saying besides even.
That is not true. We talked to so many. Okay, we are getting off track. I'm not going to argue about this anymore. Kyle. She's making sense.
Whoa. That's wild. I went through a phase like that. No, I get it. No cable, but no TV. Yeah, but you had a computer.
No, honestly, you're a single woman. You're living by yourself. You just watch your shows on your laptop. You don't need the TV. Is that what it is?
She's using her laptop or something. Yeah, okay. So that doesn't sound like a lot of bonding if you're talking about your favorite TV shows and she doesn't own a TV. That's true.
For the record, TVs are not as expensive as they used to be. I bought people TVs before. How many inches?
Smart TV. What a nice type.
Something like something my parents would say. All right.
Wait, are we at the beginning of the date when you gave it to her or at the end?
That is amazing. That is so cool. We've never heard a TV gift on the first date.
Yeah, because it's usually a shovel and some duct tape. But wait, what was her reaction?
Oh, you did go back to her place.
So wait, did you guys go to dinner at all, or was the TV the whole date at this point?
Oh, you did.
She invited you to spend the night, right?
But that's like a good comfort level. Like you meet somebody on a first date and you allow them not only to come to your house, but to stay the night. That's good. That's good. That's a good sign that she trusts you.
Oh, she wants more.
They hung out a second time, but apparently it was so short that there's not even a description of the hangout. It was like it was that bad.
I don't know. Maybe it was just too much too quick. Because she didn't ask for the TV, even though she was excited about it. I didn't think of that. If you ask, it's different.
If she doesn't agree to another date, are you going to be regretful about the TV gift?
No. We don't have any. Yeah, we're going to give you a gift card at the end of this.
I have four TVs in my trunk right now just from the calls last week.
My house is calling.
Not a TV show, a radio show. Who? She's really into TV now, Jeff.
I'm sorry, who?
She's not going to know. You don't know. We're a morning radio show. Hey, hold on. You want to know the name of our show?
I think you'll remember once we say his name.
The TV guy? Wait, why is he on God, Kyle? Don't say that.
Why? Why? Because he likes you and he said that you're super pretty.
Dude, that sounds like you have a story and I am dying.
Really?
Well, he knows the last time you saw him, it didn't go well.
Yes. Don't you call him triangle. He's not acute. Good one, Brooke.
No.
Yeah, just every one.
He thought you were excited about that, were you not?
I'm sitting back in my seat.
That's cool.
The game?
It doesn't matter what game. Did he ask you if you wanted to watch it with him?
That's bold. Yeah.
He should just go home. He just feels comfortable with you. He feels like he's hanging out. He's trying to bond.
How did he stay the night then? Because he said he slept on your couch.
Wait, you didn't kick him out? No.
Why don't you hop with me?
At least he's independent. Why did you hang out with him again? Oh, my God.
What? He was still there?
I think it'd probably be a good time.
Hold on.
I wouldn't do that. He bought the TV. and that's exactly the problem with the gifts actually she owes him nothing but but he may be a good guy that you should hear out that's totally different than what i said i got something to say all right so i brought you dinner and i invited you to join me and i'm the bad guy is that so bad you brought pizza knowing i don't eat that oh
You don't need all those details.
That's a good angle. I don't know if we can spin it that way. I mean, I think more is that he made a mistake and he would love a redo, right? Because he knows he screwed it up.
She said you were a bad kisser, dude, because you were basically, like, kissing a dead person.
I actually agree with Jeff on that. I mean, like, you wanted that kiss at the end of the night. I mean, sure, it was the death of the date. But if you could redo it, it may be great.
That would be a great story to write, though.
They're cute.
You would like a wreck like him.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Hey, it's the Second Date Podcast and we got a brand new one for you today with Brooke and Jeffrey. Of course, we are the home of the Second Date Update. And I just got to say that the end of today's date may be the most shocking thing we've ever heard. Really? I don't know. It's just like, I don't know who I'm more upset for, her or him.
Or both of them. Yeah. So definitely stay till the end because it will reward you. I will too, Brooke. We got a great message on our Instagram, actually, from Leah. She DM'd us and said, hey, I found your show on TikTok a few months back and started listening to the Second Date updates. Went through every single one I could find online. What? Yes.
And didn't think it could get better, but the new episodes with the friendly vibe and the four of you is so nice to listen to. Yes! So, hey, thanks for being here and sticking with us through it all. So, listen, we love it when you like, subscribe, and don't forget we got that Second Date merch for sale. It's only for a limited time, so do not live in regret.
Click the link in the show notes and order now. Now let's get your Second Date started.
Oh, you're still on. Oh, wow.
Yeah, that is true.
Why would you schedule a date the day after a bachelor party? Yeah.
Oh, my God.
And you were going to be a responsible guy at the bachelor party in Vegas.
No, I mean, the thing is, you can have a couple beers, feel a little bit better. I mean, I give you a thought, you know? Like, you don't have to be the entertainment because you're not up for that, right?
You know, as soon as she turns around to throw a strike, you could just take a little nap for two minutes.
Okay, anytime someone says it was good, but I don't remember anything she said.
Okay, so what do you remember? Kind of spacing out a little.
Okay. That's a good sign. That's a great sign.
Is this a moment of regret? Like, things had gone well. You should have just chopped it up to a victory. Yeah.
Oh, it does sound a little... Why would that be the wrong... Yeah, I don't know. I don't get it.
Okay.
And she hasn't even gotten the full you, you know? Yeah, true. If she liked and enjoyed that night, when you're on, it's going to be great.
Hey.
You know, you should send that to the sales department. I'm sure that they will be on it, on the phone with holy sheets as we speak. They really should.
Okay, I don't think that's it, my man. I mean, I think that maybe a good area of growth for you would be maybe admitting when you made a mistake.
Well, I'm just saying you played victim a lot to those fantasy baseball teams. Victim to the bachelor party.
I am with you there. Those are your choices and you made bad ones and that's fine.
OK, slow it down. You asked my thoughts and that was my honest thought.
If people want advice, they need to be open to criticism. Anyone that comes on our show does know.
Really? Okay.
All right. See, and that's being open, and I appreciate that.
Welcome to the show, April. Good morning.
Ooh, fun, right?
I didn't actually mean sarcasm there at all. Exactly. It sounded like a fun night.
It was fine. It was mostly fine. Mostly fine?
Okay, like mostly fine, like I'm planning on calling him back.
Uh-oh. It's never good when someone says that. Yeah. What you can't come back from. Could you tell us more about that?
Uh-oh.
Okay, so this is the very, very end of the evening. Mm-hmm.
And at that point, were you like hoping for a kiss or like how well that's the vibe I was getting for sure.
Wait, what? Standing up?
Yeah, it does not feel good.
It's embarrassing to him, not to you. It's actually impressive. Yeah, Lawrence, you've got to explain to her.
Did you say that? It was better for her. Yeah.
She didn't lie to you about... It doesn't sound like she lied to you about anything.
you decided to quit and they came to me okay wow i mean it does kind of sound like you you made your own grave there dave yeah and she dug it for me did she know yeah she did like there was no job before you left it's not like she knew that that was gonna happen she like flirted and got him to the cemetery he went to the boss and quit yeah and he was dating someone that was you know you can't do that but here's the question boss that dates somebody below you you
You don't have faith that he would have celebrated your big job promotion?
Come on. You said you cared about her. Someone had to take your job. It might as well be somebody that you cared about. Why can't you root for her?
I'm team Nicole on this. It was a loving stab in the back, if you think.
Congratulations, Nicole, on your big promotion.
Really good idea from you.
Now you're sounding kind of petty, my friend.
Ooh, Tuesday's your new favorite day of the week. I love that. Yeah, tacos and Awkward Tuesday. Welcome to the Brooke and Jeffrey, of course, second date podcast. But today is always a little special with our Awkward Tuesday phone call. And all I'll say is one of our listeners dabbled in workplace romance and it definitely backfired.
backfired yeah so hey thank you for all the comments on last week's awkward Tuesday we've got so many yeah you guys love it and it makes me so happy yes Sarah Irby wrote oh my god thanks for posting this so fast I heard the first half of my way to work yesterday and was excited to hear the rest of it which I always forget that a lot of podcast listeners listen to part of us on the radio on their commute yeah they finish us on the podcast yeah it's really great Matt Bright just simply said that was absolutely brutal
Which I think is a compliment. I think that describes a lot of the calls we have. Brutal. So always keep your comments coming. We love it. Whether that's on the podcast or on our socials at Brooke and Jeffrey. And don't forget to order your limited edition second date update merch for a cause. You can get it now. The link is in the show notes. And let's get this awkward started.
Uh, wait, she gave you dirt? Oh, she used to give me dirt too. She never talked about you.
Apparently she was talking about me to both of you. Oh, she just liked the boys.
Well, let's be honest. HR is only there to protect the company, not protect you.
I love this.
Are you second-guessing your decision after that intro?
Okay. You're stuck. You're on the line.
Oh, no. I'm telling everybody, but I don't know where your office is, so it's fine. Okay. Yeah.
But co-workers is key. It wasn't like somebody, you weren't the boss, right?
That's an important detail. It's like a power dynamic you can't do.
I never tried to hook up with you and I still have zero interest.
But you did it to yourself.
Okay, okay. Listen, buddy. Just because she likes you, you still can't do it. You're the boss.
Oh, okay. I mean, that's true.
You guys, he should have gotten another job before you put in your notice.
But it was for love, so it was worth it, is what you're saying.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. How long were you dating before you quit your job?
That's it?
I hate to say it, but it sounds kind of like she broke up with you. Yeah. It's been a couple months. I feel like that's the point where you know if you're into someone or not. And she probably feels bad. It's not like she wanted you to quit your job. Wait a minute.
I know, but that's a lot of pressure on her for you to bring it up if she wasn't fairly sure on the relationship.
Okay. Maybe it's a chlorine ambulance out of Salem.
Now I'm worried. Is there a huge age gap between you two?
She's 12 years younger than I am. That's not crazy.
It's crazy that after a month, he's like, I'm going to quit my job for you. What is she supposed to say? I would feel backed into a corner.
That would just be my reaction. I would be like, huh.
Again, that's not on her. You can't put that on her.
That's true.
Oh, like you're going to be the one that is okay with the breakup?
Are you just saying this from personal experience that they all come crawling in? Every time you say, I'll give it back, they go, well, wait a minute.
I mean, closure's always hard to come by, Dave. I really think that no matter what you do to get someone to open up, you need to go in with compliments. You need to say how you felt about her and what a great time you had together.
Not that. Not that.
And then maybe just say, you know, I was hoping for more time with you. Is there something I can do to make things better?
Oh, yeah, that's right.
What?
Or embarrassed, for God's sake.
Veronica, you can't do that.
Jimmy, I think you need to get your resume together.
All right.
Okay, listen. If our office had an HR department, I would get that woman or person in here right now. Oh, it's a woman. But we don't, Brooke. What a narc.
Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey, and this is the Second Date Podcast. You found it! Yay! So a month ago, two months ago, Alexis? Two. We tried out the Awkward Tuesday phone call. Yes. Because if you didn't realize, we are a full radio show, and we do a lot of other things outside of the second date. And so we're like, OK, y'all love the second date update. We love that.
Would you also like this little relationship segment as well? And you guys did. Oh, my God. Overwhelmingly.
The Awkward Tuesday goes up on Sunday right now, which made no sense. Yeah. And it has been one of the most downloaded segments of the podcast for the last two and a half months. So in honor of that, we are going to add some sort of clarity to the situation. And we are going to start playing Awkward Tuesdays on Tuesday. Wow. We are geniuses.
Pretty innovative. So thank you for being here. Thank you for the likes, the follows, the comments. Yes, all of it. And we're going to make a little more sense. And right now is your Awkward Tuesday phone call on Tuesday.
Yeah, for sure.
That's right.
Oh, come on.
He means he's sorry for the 18th time.
Jeffrey, I'm not hitting on you. We're just coworkers.
Yeah, I was. I'm still on that high, Jeff. I feel like I've heard about this text message more than ever.
Oh, man, I just want to know what emojis he used. That's what I want to know.
Yeah.
But I'm guessing we're leading into the fact that she's the one that he texted when he was drinking.
Yeah, you were worried about it too. That's awesome. Well, it sounds like you have a good group of friends. That's cool.
That's so cute.
I mean, I think sometimes you just know.
That's so cute. She was probably texting all day. Why is it in past tense, though? Why is it was thinking about? All honeymoon pieces come to an end.
Already?
You're right. Tell her I love her. No.
On your wedding day. Love the healthy masculinity coming from you right now.
Okay. Text? Wait, the first time? Not even because he's drunk. I mean, it's had to be a huge moment. I mean, but who hasn't done it, though? Confess, like, more than they should have at a drunken night.
What'd you say?
Your boss?
What?
No. Wait, this is better, right? No, you texted your boss a love confession. It's not better.
What did your boss say? What was the reply back?
Oh, wait a minute.
Hold on. Is she like one of those old people that don't understand how emojis work?
Yeah, the sensual lips get sent by my mom too.
Could that be it?
And you've never even, like, thought about your boss like that? I love that a manager sets a meeting to tell you that she has the same feelings.
No. Dude. This is so embarrassing for her.
So you're telling us in where she's confessing that she feels the same way you don't say anything?
Just a couple of jokes from Jose and she'll be turned off. Yeah. Let me try to hit on her, actually.
I only laugh because it's true.
Although our boss does have a really cute southern accent. I do love our boss.
It's not always illegal to date someone within the company. You could just need to go tell management.
Well, I mean, your goal is you want things to go back to normal. And I think you need to give up on that dream. Because that ship has sailed, my friend.
So we're going plan B. And that's for you to be the villain. You got to make it so she can't love you because you suck.
You need to tell her you have a secret family. What? Wait, what? He's already with someone. He forgot to tell her.
Nah, just respecting the bedroom. See, here's the thing. And then you say, listen, if you don't tell anyone about the secret family, I won't tell anyone that you're in love with me. That's a pretty good idea.
I win again, Brooke, take that. I'm gonna tell you right now, she's gonna quit her job. You're gonna be honeymooning in the Bahamas. Oh, I didn't think of that. Okay, go for it, buddy. Let's see how this works. Oh, no.
Whoa. Okay, you don't have to be rude. Don't you guys, like, hang out?
Bro. Yeah. I mean, step-sister.
Bro. It's a joke. It's clueless. Come on.
Well, that's good. That's what you want to hear. Am I right?
At least you know when he's looking at you now he's not flirting with you.
I'm helping.
Have fun at the wedding, guys.
Yeah, seriously.
Hey, I have a guy on my stream almost every day now from Germany. Oh, really? Forgot your name, though, but shout out to you.
We should shut it down in America. I say we just do all international. What do you guys think? That's not a bad idea these days.
Yeah, I'll just fart into the mic. It'll crack the whole place up. I'm going to be so funny.
Am I right?
So wait, was it at this point where you were like hoping it wasn't this one person, like anyone but them kind of thing?
Oh, to help guide the selection.
But it makes her, I don't know, you're right. It makes them both look bad. Does it make her look worse?
Or like it'll naturally come up.
Yours is based all on your exes.
Oh, tell him what?
Alexis is right. Your fiance will be crushed.
They just went right to it.
Dude, how awkward.
Rosé, what do you think? You should just say, look, because of our history, my request to you is you show up, but you shut up. Okay? Don't say anything about us dating. And that, I will consider your official wedding gift to us.
I mean, honestly. AKA, I'm smart.
Good threatener. Yes, she is. Thank you.
Yeah, you got to practice being the bigger man in that situation, Richard. But I think it's too late for that now. So listen, Megan, maybe the message didn't come across quite the way we wanted it to. But do you understand the sentiment behind it that there's a lot of parents that were upset by what happened? Because their children were crying at the end of the party. You must have noticed.
She does have a point a little bit there, but still, it's not fair.
They wouldn't have given their best.
Brooke, let's not do the Brooke apology. Tell her what a good mom she is.
I just don't know that that's true.
Well, it doesn't matter if you believe it. You should say it.
You should try harder with this apology.
I'm trying. I'm on hireable.
Yeah.
You keep laying down truth bombs on us, Megan, and I'm coming around on you.
Everyone else feel bad. Yeah, Richard.
I want to work in your labor camp in the next one that you set up, so give us a call.
Jeff makes a mean bear. Yeah, I really do. I want to build a tier.
Oh, my God. Richard, you really got to work on your slams, because they keep getting worse as the call goes on.
It's perfect for summer. It really is.
I learned.
One of the most dramatic calls we've had all year. And it all started with a weird disagreement at a Build-A-Bear workshop.
Of course.
Children were in tears, their parents were upset, and even went viral on TikTok. And now one father's decided it's time to get justice and confront the person who started the drama. you're going to hear what went down at Build-A-Bear in your brand new Awkward Tuesday. Big tease, I know.
I mean, you can't write that stuff better. The most Awkward Tuesday phone call coming up right after this.
Different radio shows excel at different types of content.
Some shows are really good with health and wellness tips.
Other ones, don't judge the other shows, bro.
Other ones focus more on true crime stories. But today we're honing in on our wheelhouse, children's birthday party drama.
And I bring it up because there's a story that's actually been going viral on TikTok lately. I'm not sure if you guys have heard about it yet, but one of the people who was directly involved reached out to us saying, hey, I could really, really use your help.
Let's talk to him, though. His name is Richard. Richard, welcome to the show. How you doing?
Oh, so Brookbean's not as good as your daughter.
Or not as bad as your daughter.
It's not a good slam.
Yeah, we shouldn't be slamming our listeners as soon as they ask us for help. Sorry about that, Richard. Tell us what's going on. You were involved with this birthday drama. How?
Just a bunch of seven-year-olds freely roaming the mall, figuring it out?
Oh.
Pretty standard for a post-seven-year-old birthday party, though.
Oh, God. Wow. What the heck happened? Did Jeff show up and do a parody song in the middle of the party? Probably. Oh, they'd be laughing then.
No way.
That's so rude. I'm not even involved in the bear world or children's world and I want to fight everyone right now.
Wow. See, okay, so this is like the normal reaction. Everyone's agreeing this is a little messed up.
It blindsided all of the parents and the children there, obviously.
Was that laid out in, like, the invitation that all the kids were going to be building a bear for the birthday girl? No. No, my daughter thought she was getting the bear to bring home.
Oh, that's a question. Those are expensive.
Well, the birthday mom paid for the cake, too, I'm assuming. And she gave some of that away, so at least she's kind of generous.
Okay, look. Let me play advocate really quick. Think about it from the birthday girl. Every one of those bears, every night she goes to bed, it's like, this is Sarah's bear, this is Brooke's bear, this is Jesper's. She's going to think of her friends. And the mom paid for it. So that makes, just wanting to throw that out there.
This is the choice I'm making. I'm just saying I see where maybe... I think exactly what Brooke thinks.
What about you and this crying line of kids? Like, here you go. It's so ridiculous.
I want to contact her and tell her this isn't okay.
You want to call the mom of the birthday girl who set this up? Yeah. I want to contact her and say it's not right. It's not okay.
Okay.
I want you guys to tell me what to say. Gotcha. So you want advice on how to call the mother of the birthday girl after the birthday is over to tell her it's not cool that she made all of the children at the party build Build-A-Bears and then gift them all to her daughter at the very end. She's a Build-A-Bear thief. I want to confront her. Okay.
She's a builder burglar.
Not sure if the name calling will work, but we'll have some ideas for you when we come back.
But remember, you're making the call when we come back for your Awkward Tuesday phone call. Build-A-Bear edition. Let's try and calm down a little bit. We're going to play a song and do it right after this. I'm not sure I can, but hurry up. Let's do this. I'll try. Hold on.
I know Brooke has said many times she loves it when other parents call and tell her she's doing a bad job of mothering.
We do a whole segment on it.
But the thing is, not everybody is as receptive to parental criticism as Brooke is. That's why our listener Richard needs our help today, because he was upset after dropping his seven-year-old daughter off at a Build-A-Bear birthday party. And when he picked her up, his daughter was crying, because the host mom made all of the children give their Build-A-Bears to the birthday girl.
As like a big happy gift to remember everybody by.
But Richard's not the only parent who was upset by hearing this. He does want to be the one, though, who calls up the mom and lets her know that he thinks what she did wasn't really right. Yeah. So how does he politely deliver that message so the mom gets it? Let's go to our child rearing expert, Jose. Jose, what's your advice?
Well, I would play vague here and just ask, hey, have you heard from any other parents about the party? Because likely she's going to say, yeah, I have. And if not, you can just be like, I hear some of them are upset. Oh, blame it on other people. Thank you. That is so passive aggressive. It's a group. thing. Everyone's upset. I get what he's saying.
That way, Richard doesn't have to own all of the anger for it. He can share some of the blame with the parents. Richard, what do you think about that?
Ghastly.
Well, just then you can break the news. I heard from one other parent.
Name drop some other moms. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I heard from so-and-so.
Brooke, good luck beating that advice.
But maybe if you just ask her to say that, she'll realize how dumb it is coming out of her own mouth. I do that all the time. I'm starting to talk. I'm making a point. And I'm like, wow, that is really stupid. Well, you know what? I'm selfish.
I'm wrong.
I'm sorry. So you can choose either one of those pieces of advice or none, Richard. Either one. We're going to be here waiting to jump in if we feel like you need a little bit of help. I think you got it. Okay.
As long as you're calm.
Sorry, we don't want to get you all excited again. Stay calm. We're going to dial this mom for you, let you talk to her. Here we go.
Here we go.
No, call her a labor camp worker.
That was the funniest back and forth I've ever heard. Excuse me, can anyone tell me what's going on? Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, so Megan, he wasn't lying. You actually are on the radio right now on Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. That's our show.
What is this even for?
Sorry, it's a healing segment that we do about bringing parents together and kindly talking to each other.
no richard did he get that memo yeah no well it's actually called an awkward tuesday phone call because we knew that this conversation wasn't going to be flawless i don't think anybody expected it to nosedive like it did no that was wild what happened richard we told you to open my call i tried i tried my best that was your best she was an a-hole from the very beginning she called everyone whiny okay
I think she was just like a hillbilly in Montana for three years and just told everyone she was out of college.
But if I just got a random call right now and it was like, Brooke Fox is applying, I would cover for you. I totally would. You just got to roll with it.
Yeah. Yeah, like, ma'am, is he responsible? Yeah, totally.
Oh, man. Never getting a job with Brooke as a friend.
I never felt like they did.
I think it's more like, do you have three friends? Because if you don't, that's a bad sign.
Oh, international branding.
Wait, you do want to call the boss? I thought you were calling your friend here. She can't change her reference if she wants the job. Oh, my God.
So we're about to make a professional reference phone call?
What about you and me quick French lesson in the next three minutes while a song plays? Jose, you don't know any French.
The guys can't fake it. Believe me.
You need to set the expectation that you don't have a lot of time here. Oh, that's not bad either. You got to be quick. This whole thing's got to be quick. Remember, you're important. You're important. You got some other billion dollar corporation you're running right now. You own Costco or something, right?
Oh, well, I think it depends.
Yeah, probably.
You were on a French fast. No Frenchie. Did you mention Fluffy the three-headed dog from Harry Potter somehow? Like the intelligence of three heads? Yeah.
Yeah. The three people. The intelligente.
I don't know yet.
I saw a comparison there.
Oh.
Yeah.
And you didn't, like, offend anyone. Well, maybe everyone in France.
Okay, they can keep track of the day of the week now. Yeah, exactly.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, no.
It's not an 11 p.m. call kind of thing.
Oh, no.
It depends. It depends on the relationship. How close you are. Is someone grocery shopping with somebody I don't know? Or are they literally making out?
No, we didn't see anything.
I don't think I would tell you. Oh. Oh, wow. Thanks. I'd tell you, and I'd show you. I'd be like, this is how they kiss.
Come over, too. Exactly what I was going to say. If a friend says I need to tell you something to your face, I'll be like, friendship's over, dude. Sorry. What? I can't handle it. I don't like anything.
And I have friends that don't even know what that finger is.
Oh, which reminds me, Brooke, I'll take your wedding ring off right now. Thanks for letting me wear it before the break.
Oh, no. What kind of answers that? That's an immediate feeling of guilt.
I feel like we have not discounted the fact she could be a jewelry heist person and have access to lots of jewelry, and she's scared because we just caught her.
Dude, her husband may answer.
You just told them the situation.
There it is.
Edit out the whole front of that part. Every week I give great advice.
You need to make her feel comfortable. Reminder, honey, I want you to know first, I love you. Okay. And whatever you say in this conversation, I promise not to judge.
We listen and we don't judge.
It's an internet therapy trend, not TikTok. talk, and I think if you practice it, then maybe she will be comfortable to open up to you.
Yes. Exactly. We give you permission.
Oh, my God.
What was that?
And I did the sound effect. No, just humans.
See, I take it as a mission. I'm like, we're going to try our hardest to make kids that aren't looking like that. You just keep making kids until they don't look like that.
He did one thing bad, if you think about it. Other than that, things were good.
Okay. Yeah.
Okay. I like it. Actually, I kind of do too. You just got to get the kid image out of her head.
Come on.
Maybe they are perfect. That might be the most shocking part of this.
She's like, well, I can whistle by myself. Wow.
You got to commit. And then return it later.
I had to actually leave an umbrella once. That was a gift because I didn't give it back.
No. I preserved it into my closet.
Sadly, I've heard this before. Other people that forced us and they're like, what is this garbage? And then two days later, they're like, did you hear the second day?
Mine's a decorative ornament.
Oh, that's not good enough for you all of a sudden.
Oh. So was it a mug that he gave her, too?
Yeah, we did.
Well, they don't even open it, right? Unless y'all left on read.
Okay, creative, but you get it, bro.
Okay. That's what we were worried about. That's what we were hoping you would say.
Girl, when you just told us what you did, none of us have even thought of that before. That's a mind-blowing thing. To actually see it would be creepy.
Yeah. She's sort of being polite.
Oh, you kind of froze up.
If he picks up, just say, gotcha!
Oh, God. Parents are there.
You haven't even met her parents, have you?
Oh. Oh, yeah. Because that's where you met.
Well, you told us in the first part that you froze up when you were with her. Yeah. You need to feel and sound confident here. So right now, with all the confidence in the world, tell me, what is the one thing you like most about yourself?
With confidence.
Jose's TED Talk. Come on, brother.
That's right. So here we go. With a good sense of humor.
I mean, if anything, he really likes you, and I think that's really sweet.
I'm going to put him on two paddle boards, see what happens. Oh, wow. That'd be good.
Catherine, as I call them. God, they have a couple names already? We don't even know if they're still dating. Oh, sorry.
It's been pretty crazy, but so good. What's been crazy?
Just fixing his broken nose over and over again? Oh, you guys are fighting each other now? Thank you.
That's great. That's awesome. So do you go to, like, a lot of Karjitsu matches, Catherine?
There is such deep moments on this show.
That's actually really sweet. So you found other interests or what?
Wait, you can't have both? I keep reminding him he's not getting any younger.
Why do I picture just a Honda Accord parked outside of a mini mall with a sign propped up next to it?
All the other kids on the windshield.
Welcome to the Second Date Podcast. It's Brooke and Jeffrey, of course, the home of The Second Date. And we love when we get a special update update. Yes! And if you're an OG listener, you know what that is already. But if you're new to the show, that's where when we have a successful couple from one of our second dates come back and tell us how their relationship is going.
And one of the most memorable from last year was with a professional athlete. Oh, wow. He was in a crazy sport only I think Jose had heard of before. Yeah. And he has a big announcement he wants to make on the show. So we're going to let him do that. But how these work is we're going to play you the original when they were first on the show so that you're up to speed. Yes.
And then we get the update from them at the end.
Sit back, enjoy, and stay till the end. It starts right now.
Just go with it. You roll with it or do you correct it every time? Laugh at yourself a little bit.
Wait, after you made the profile, you didn't take that part? I thought she did make it for you.
Oh, but you went with it still. I did. Interesting.
They saw the truth in it. Yeah. Bro to bro, that's hilarious.
A what?
Not jiu-jitsu.
What does it mean? You, like, grapple with automobiles?
Yeah.
Oh, I've seen this. Oh, they're doing jiu-jitsu inside a car.
Yeah, right when they park. It's like, seatbelt, get over here.
Spoiler alert, but I always win. I'd put money on you. Five minutes in and out, Brooke. Is it frustrating that people don't know what this is, or are you okay with that?
Isn't that why you put it on your profile? So you could send them videos of you sexily grappling with men?
What? You make a living out of it.
Yeah.
You found the one person that knew what this was. That's cool. So did she like take a huge interest on your date?
In a fun way or a bad way?
Oh.
Oh, but she called you her boyfriend, so that's kind of cute, right? Do you like that or do you not like that?
It doesn't look funny. The move from the front seat to the back seat was... It's pretty funny.
So I mean, did that ruin your day? Because it sounds so good. Like she called your boyfriend.
Maybe she's embarrassed.
I'm really not.
It really does sound like they're in a relationship already.
Okay. All right. And do you have any idea why?
All right. All right. Well, maybe you just need a chance to tell her that.
You're in the middle of a second date update update, and we're going to find out how the couple is doing right after you hear part two.
Did you say no? Oh, that's funny. Yeah, we don't get no very often, Catherine. Can we ask why?
Oh, wait, does that change things? Do you want to talk to us now?
Oh, okay.
Oh, God. Oh, my gosh. Are you embarrassed? It sounds like a fun night. It was a fun night. I am embarrassed.
Especially when they're a retired pro athlete. That's when they're at their peak. It's so fun to be around. Don't you think you're way jumping the gun? I mean, you are thinking about 25 steps down the line here.
Wait, what? Yeah, he says. No! Yeah. No!
Are you hearing that?
i would never let that happen come on i got this little counter thing that i do with my two thumbs it works every single time whoa don't give away your secrets to all the car jitsu listeners who might be fighting you in the future you don't want to give it away yeah wait a minute this is like way more violent than i expected it to be maybe she's see that's what i'm saying this is something i have to think about oh my
Boat?
Oh, there we go. You know what? Boat jitsu, first thing, safety. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I kind of like it.
On a one-night stand? Super romantic, though.
I don't know. What's amazing is he's not scared away right now. I mean, that is honestly, I don't know if you're going to find that.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Oh, my God. I vote them most likely to be in a relationship. Well, they just, you know, she needed the effort, and he sounded like he was ready to deliver.
What? What? Wait, a flash mob?
Oh, my God. I bet Maggie was over the moon. That's so much.
Wait, what?
You're like Goldilocks and the bears or something with the porridge. Like, pick a temperature.
Has he struck the right chord by this time?
It's like a scrap pamphlet. You guys are together then still?
It's always kind of a special week when we get an update update. Yeah. So today we get to check in with one of our iconic second date update couples. And you're going to hear that in just a second. But first, I got to say thank you to Matthew, who wrote us on our second date Spotify page. And it says, here's why I got a second date update hoodie.
He's got bullet points. I like it. One great conversation starter.
Two, looks sick. Okay. It really does. And three, it goes to a cause. Yeah, it's a win, win, win.
I mean, honestly, they're so cool right now. And 100% of proceeds, like we said, from every sale go to help LA Wildfire Relief efforts. Thanks to Convoy of Hope. So again, if you want to buy Second Aid Update merch, the link is in our show notes. Right, Alexis? Yep, putting it there right now. Okay, perfect. And thank you. Enjoy your update update. It starts right now.
That is so rude.
Rob. That's a disciplined woman.
Or it was such good Photoshop you didn't notice. Can I ask, are you any of the things she is? Like dry, you know, no smoking, vegan?
You can smoke cigars and eat bacon. I mean, it could be the reason she's not calling him back.
Wait, how did that work?
Oh, yeah. You took the vegan to ice cream?
So you checked it. Impossible ice cream, Jeff.
Like coconut milk ice cream. Okay. Sounds great.
She was probably impressed that you put some effort in to find a place that could fit her.
Oh, wow. Okay. And that's good that she suggested it. Yeah, no kidding. So what'd you do the next day?
Cool. Oh, okay. Oh, my God. I'm not vegan, but one of my favorite places to eat is a vegan restaurant in my neighborhood.
Does that usually have a vegan restaurant?
Okay. How was the connection between you two?
I don't get why he's on with us if it was freaking you out. Is she now not calling you back?
No, she was trying to convey something. It's like when I used to make mix CDs and put in secret songs for different dudes I liked and be like, yeah, I know that one hit. You're right. You basically turned her down by not liking the song. Which is good, honestly. Maybe she needed to get back to reality a little.
Yeah, you were being honest. So what do you want our help with? Do you want another date or do you not?
I see, I see. Maybe if she knows how you feel, she can lay off the love gifts and the songs. Yeah.
You're in the middle of a second date update update, and we're going to find out how the couple is doing right after you hear part two.
Is this the song?
Are you all forgetting it's a song that she sent to him?
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty cheesy.
Sure, that's how I would take it, for sure.
Pottery class, no alcohol, very vegan. That is.
Are you wanting to apologize to her for your response?
That's why you had to throw a dig in there.
Oh, my God. Rob said you had two great dates together. Yeah.
That's so sweet. That's good. Okay. Was there something that made that change? Because it does sound like you're talking in past tense.
What'd you say on your profile?
So that would be a lot for anyone.
OK, Jeff put on that therapy hat right now.
Well, she was already adjusting. I mean, she was already going out with somebody who wasn't a vegan. She was already going out with somebody that drinks when she doesn't drink.
No, she said the problem was he wasn't romantic, Jeff.
You can hear it. I think Jeff's playing it right now.
What did you drink this morning?
Absolutely. I think every woman has said it in any relationship they've ever been in.
Oh, my mom loves that song. Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say. That's just her name, right?
Oh, okay. Not seeing anybody until you say yes to the X, and then you'll be seeing Landon again. Yeah, you're not seeing anybody until you say yes to the X. That's right. That's the whole goal of this segment, and Landon has the endorsement of every member of this morning's show. That's not true. Plus all of our listeners, all 12 of them.
Well, she didn't say it nine times. That's the magic number. You get nine lives in dating.
But look, the key is that wasn't a no.
That's fair.
I mean, it's like people taking time apart to figure out themselves before they get back together stronger than ever.
That's what you do during your time apart to make yourself stronger. That's what it takes.
Probably longer than that, if we're being honest.
All right, man. I'm sorry. It sounds like we're not going to be able to get your ex to say yes to the ex.
Yeah. Look at Jeffrey in the morning.
Do you believe in second chances? A second chance to pass that driver's test?
Yeah. Lex is like that idea.
A second chance for dinosaurs to rule the earth.
A second chance to slip past that security guard and finally make it up on stage at the Taylor Swift concert and give her a hug.
Good things happen when you get a second chance, and today we're hoping for a second chance at love. trying to get one more shot for a guy who's desperate to win back the woman who dumped him. And it's kind of crazy because the way that she ended things was one of the most brutal stories that I think we've ever heard on this show. Still, he says he's willing to risk it all for one more chance.
And it's going to come up. We'll see if it pays off in a brand new Say Yes to the X right after this. JLo and Ben Affleck, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Nick Cannon and baby mamas number four and seven. Just a few examples of couples who dated and broke up only to get back together years later because they realized, oh my God, I think maybe they were the one.
Which one's Mariah? It's a little messy there. But the point is, you never know until you try. And if you have an ex that you look back on and think, oh, did I make a mistake by letting them go? We created this segment called Say Yes to the Ex. So that we can reach out and see if there's a chance if they want to give it one more shot.
And it was really intended for long lost loves to reunite.
I'm not really sure if today's caller Landon falls into that category.
He wants to reconnect with his email said him and his girlfriend have only been separated for six weeks, but he's ready to jump back out and see if there's another chance there. Let's talk to him. Landon. Welcome to the show. Hey, guys.
Yeah.
I was wondering why you were, like, having trouble coming out with it. Clearly, it's still pretty raw if it only happened six weeks ago.
She broke up with you via door note?
Our producer told me that you actually have the breakup note with you.
Yeah. Would it be okay, like, if it's not too painful for you, would you mind, like, telling us some of the things that she said in it?
Okay. Well, if she's being rude and mean to you, why do you even want to get back together with her? Yeah.
Give us the bullet points of it. And then we'll post the whole thing on the Brookings. Okay.
Okay. Just give us a couple of them.
If you're in the club with your boys, you want to be like, hey, Jonathan, let's take a selfie together.
At the same time, what? Are women going to dump a guy every time they do something a little bit stupid to prove their masculinity?
Yeah, totally. Maybe do you have like a last one for us, Landon? Um, sure.
Well, hold on. Were your abs and back muscles strong enough to absorb the blow? Yeah. No, I mean, I definitely hurt myself.
Well, maybe she does have a point.
I'm seeing a lot of red flags. That's not the right word I'm looking for.
I would say they're more like highlights.
We call the girlfriend and let him talk for it.
He has to win her back himself.
Okay, fair, fair. Okay. All right. And those are the problems that she had with you. So if you want her back, you're probably going to need to compromise a little bit. Like, can you agree that if she wants you back going forward, you won't stare into solar eclipses anymore? Are you capable of that? Guys, I already learned my lesson. I'm not doing that again. I mean, that's clearly not.
That is what we're trying to accomplish here.
Yes. Okay. We're about to dial your ex, Jessica, and we'll get her on the phone and let you try and win her back yourself.
We'll come back and see if she says yes to the ex right after this. You know, I rarely do this, but during the break, I got on the phone and talked to Landon.
Off the air, and I just told him how we felt, honestly, in the room.
I think we're on the same page, because based on the breakup note, it seems like Landon has done some dumb things.
Correction, a lot of dumb things in his relationship. And his attitude was, Jessica just needs to chill out and relax. And if Landon really feels like it's all on her to change herself and just relax about it, then why are we doing this segment?
Because she says what the problem was and he says that shouldn't be a problem for you. And then you're asking her to change. What we're trying to do here is get some growth. Because all of us as humans are constantly evolving, trying to become better people.
And frankly, Landon, I'm not sure if in the past six weeks since the breakup, there's been enough growth on your end from what we just heard to warrant her saying yes.
I'm just being honest with you. Maturity's entering the room. Sorry, I know we're supposed to be fun, but real talk.
Landon?
They were all telling me that I'm not smart enough to come up with that on my own.
We have to reach out to her to find out some of these answers. And if you're just listening for the very first time, say yes to the exes. It's a little bit different than a second date update.
Because these people have had a previous relationship before. They already know each other. And we're going to try not to jump in on the conversation as much as we normally do. We're going to try and let them talk and work it out as much as possible amongst themselves.
That's the goal. It's going to show if they've really had any growth in their relationship or not. And so now I'm about to punch up Jessica. Our producer got her on the other line. You ready to talk to her?
Okay. Yeah. Let's just bring her on the line with you. Here we go. Hey, Jessica, you there? Hello.
Hey, Jessica. This is Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, obviously.
So our producer told you that we have your ex-boyfriend Landon on the phone right now. And he really, really wants to speak to you for a second. Hey, Jessica. That's Landon. So what we're going to do here is we're just going to back away and let you and Landon have a chat for a second, all right? Go ahead, Landon.
Okay, that's good. That's admitting some guilt there. Taking responsibility.
Adam, are you ready to hear this? Because it didn't feel like you were ready to hear the catnap situation.
What?
It's not even like he did it before the movie started. You let the man get a half an hour into a film and then ruined it?
How many seasons into Breaking Bad were you before you ruined the end?
Dude, I'll tell you. There was one time when my husband ripped out the last two pages of a book I was invested in.
It's the same. He likes that.
But did Roy ever tell you that he didn't like that?
Yeah, and it's not going well. What's the next question, Jeff? Get to question three.
What? Oh, no.
That's really sweet. The cat misses you.
It's a big one.
What?
Are you ever not joking?
Why wouldn't you text him in the middle of the party and tell him to get over to the house?
And how messed up that all of his friends didn't stay.
Adam, I hope you're learning something from this.
Here's the thing, Adam. You've got to balance all this stuff with also some meaningful relationship things.
I don't think it was. I feel like Roy wasn't.
Yeah. Oh, my gosh. You just made his life living hell. Yeah.
You need to find the middle ground there, Adam.
Hey, you found it, the Second Date Update podcast. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Thanks so much for being here, especially on a Sunday. Yes. Totally. You know, and Sunday we've really been using to introduce you to all sorts of new relationship drama segments that we do on the show. And today, I think it's the first one we've done on the Second Date Update podcast. Yeah, it is.
We're going to do a closure call. Yes. Those are intense. I mean, sometimes, yeah, they really are. You know, it's probably the most serious thing that we do on the show. Yeah, it is. Good serious. Yeah, good serious. And just emotional, maybe, is a better word than serious. Intense, maybe, yeah.
It's way different. All of us. Grab your tissues. Get ready. God. A closure call is where we have our producer work with one of our listeners to get in touch with somebody from their past. It could be like a family member, a lot of exes. We had a bully one time. Oh, a bully, that's right.
Yeah, which is a hint for what today's is, by the way. Anyway, they come up with questions to ask this person that has broken off contact with them. Yeah. For sometimes like years and years and years. Yeah, yeah. And then we read the responses live on air and hopefully at the end, you know, give them a chance to move forward.
Well, that's not the goal. That's not the goal, but sometimes it does happen. All right, so now you understand what it is. Hopefully you enjoy it. Definitely let us know in the comments. We love reading your comments. We got some today.
No, sometimes when we'll go out to drinks, we'll be like on the first drink and I'm like, are you drunk? Yeah. Do you ever feel that way?
He's really happy.
I know. All right. Let's get to the closure call. Thanks for being here. We got a brand new show tomorrow, of course, too. So come back. But hey, hope you enjoy.
Oh, I could see that. I could totally see that.
Is this person just a roommate? Because usually roommates are also your best friends and people that you love, you know, and care about.
Well, I mean, that's the easiest way to be friends with somebody, and you know everything about them immediately. Yeah, if you live with somebody, oh yeah.
Like, he's not in the next room right now, is he?
Did he move out of your guys' place?
What do you mean? Like in the middle of the night, he moved his stuff out or what?
Wait, his cat? Your cat? Whose cat?
Was your roommate kidnapped and you never filed a report?
I don't have movie night anymore. This is a tragedy. I can't get over him leaving the cat. Did he take his stuff when he left?
There's only two of you living there. You don't have to label it. If it's not yours, then it's his.
Remind me never to be a roommate with Jeffrey.
So wait, do you think he was mad at you? Because that's what you're kind of implying.
You didn't do your own dishes and you ate his food? You still wouldn't leave your cat and move.
Some of the bargain.
But he never talked to you about it?
Okay, and these are questions that Adam came up with with our producer.
Then how do you know they're intense?
The producer probably hasn't read them, guys. I don't know.
Can I just ask, where's the cat now? I was wondering that, too. I was thinking it.
Okay. We all got the cat closure. He needed to get animal welfare out of the way before we move on to their relationship.
They were friends. Like, it's so crazy. I am so invested in this. He also left behind a bro. Yeah, that's right, Jose.
That's a good sign. Well, it's so weird. The friends and the family all said that he left because he didn't want to be roommates with you. Yeah, so it was obviously planned a little bit.
That was the end.
Yeah.
Okay.
I almost stole it. What are you talking about? Yeah, you said that Roy left the cat. Is that not true?
That's kind of weird.
We're not trying to attack you, but it sounds like you need to take a moment to take a deep breath and accept some.
I feel like we got to get him off the kid thing, though.
Why would it be weird and creepy? I don't know.
Okay, now I feel like we're really going far away from the flirting.
I didn't this time. They're wasted on this man.
Oh, this one. Alexis only go dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. I hate that so much. Well, you did it wrong. There's a right way to do it in one way is with energy and fun.
It's a protest. Are you serious? Yeah. Did he write?
No!
Yeah, why wouldn't she? It's her favorite teacher. No!
Her mom is, you know kids can't keep secrets. This is perfect. Why do you guys think this is bad?
Oh, that's a good point.
You need to put embarrassed face emoji and then just say, oh, my God, my daughter just blew up my game.
See? Is that too aggressive?
I think you say, oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed. Blush emoji. Or not the blush. I like the hands over the eyes.
Either or, yeah.
That's a good one.
Yeah, and then just, like, how she called me out or something.
Very true.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. This is it, guys. You guys, this is perfect. That is such a flirty thing for him to say back to you.
But your daughter's going to have some really unrealistic expectations about this date.
Let's not even talk about any teachers you don't like at the table. My mommy doesn't like you. You know, teachers know everything.
Kids got the biggest mouth.
Wait, wait, I want to hear what he said.
That is so good. And you know what? You actually didn't need our help. Ava had your back the whole time. Oh, yeah. Yeah, your daughter's got you, man.
Hey, give us an update after the date. I want to hear how it goes. Yay!
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Hey, thanks for being here and taking a break from all that basketball. I know that's what you've been doing. I've been hiding in a different room from my husband all weekend. I want us to hurry this up so I can get back to you. Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey. You found the Second Date Podcast, and we're so glad you're here. You know, Sundays are really starting to be kind of a grab bag.
What are you going to get in terms of relationship drama? Yeah, what's today, Brooke? What did I grab? Well, today we're going to introduce a segment we like to call Textual Healing.
yeah and how would you explain that jose no it's just you need to text someone you need some advice you don't know what to say so you hit us up yep that's it that made it sound kind of boring yeah i promise a lot more drama to come let us know what you think in the comments and of course don't forget to subscribe and follow yeah all right let's get it started under the umbrella of forbidden love
I love this segment.
Is that our standard? I almost thought you were going to say something passive-aggressive, which I'm like, that's also probably true.
Misty, are you in an airport right now? Are you at Carnival in Brazil?
Your daughter's teacher.
That shouldn't be awkward.
Oh.
Oh, like some chemistry is going on in there. Honestly, I've gone out drinking with some of my kids' parents, or kids' teachers.
No chemistry, but you can be friends. They're just people, right?
Hot, not. That's what Alexis wants to know.
Okay. That's a good time to start dating, right?
No, but the thing is, is you don't want to come off as, like, the divorced mom hitting on the hot teacher. I mean, I just am thinking that he gets it all the time.
And I'm not saying don't do it. It's just that I could see why. We've got to do it better than the rest of the divorced moms.
You're reestablishing the professional part.
While we were decorating that gym, did you like my balloons?
He will not even get that. I think, honestly, you just start with something really simple. Like, I had so much fun with you the other day. Okay.
Okay, what about you just open it?
I don't want to know. I actually don't know what Barb would do.
What if you just, okay, because it is kind of out of the blue, right? Like you haven't talked about hanging out outside of school. Can you just start with, I have a crazy idea.
Don't put all your cards on the table. No, that's it. That's all you say.
No, no, like dot, dot, dot.
Or even that like little excited kind of blushy person. Me. Blushy cheeks? No. Well, if you wanted to leave an eject button, that's okay.
My mom sent sensual lips for a long time thinking that they were just regular kisses.
You're freaking out. You don't need to freak out yet. I'm joking. That's not what we wanted to say. We got her.
Textual Healing 101, Jeff.
Oh, my God. Can you imagine if this works out and you bring home your daughter's fifth grade teacher as your boyfriend?
It is kind of the dream. I'm not going to lie. I mean, you know he's good with kids. And he can help with all her homework that you don't get.
Dot, dot, dot. Tell us he responded, please.
He responded.
He called you a room mom. He still thinks that her idea is going to be like a pizza party. Like you said, Alexis.
Well, I think right now you need to establish that you're not talking as the room mom right now. Yeah. Because I'm a room parent. I get it. You know, you need to be like, actually, this idea is for outside the classroom.
Slowly. I think you say hat. Fair.
And my idea is for outside the classroom.
Oh, sexy red lady dance emoji.
You can't go back from smirk emoji. Nope. You can't.
What? Really? Yeah.
Nobody buys that. Send 10 angry swearing emojis right now.
My daughter got a hold of my phone. Just do poop emojis.
He'll buy that.
You know, it may take a minute for him to, like, process. Right? Because this is a shock to him to get this. Wait, wait, wait. He's totally running back. Wait, wait, wait.
It's rules. The real ones know what I'm talking about. There's rules to that song.
He answered, yeah. Okay.
No, no, her daughter does. Do you know what he's talking about with your daughter? I actually have
He still thinks it's about kids and school. God, does this guy not know what a smirk emoji is? He's a good teacher, guys. We need three smirks next time.
Exactly.
Yeah, the ones with weird lunch visit hours. Yeah.
You're not single? But not a huge crush.
A very healthy crush.
Okay. It doesn't sound that serious to me. It's not. Okay.
Let's not worry about the other people, about Eric and about, you know, Rando, Carter girl. Let's focus on the two of you. Are you surprised to hear some of these things that are coming out from Carter right now?
No, no joke. Isn't it a joke?
And actually, we talked to Carter a little bit about this before we called you, and it seems like there's a lot of genuine feelings there. Yeah, a lot more than Rick.
I would challenge Rick to a gentleman's duel if I was you.
No. After this airs, I don't know how much is going to be left. But it sounds like, Carter, she needs a little bit more time to just let things marinate and think things over. Are you willing to wait, give her like a 30-day grace period before you ask again?
Carter, you are a true gentleman.
You guys ever feel like if there's one person in the world who you truly connect with and you just think, man, timing's off, but they could have really been my soulmate. Is it ever too late to finally tell someone how you feel?
But you think it's okay?
All right, Jose, get ready because we're going to call Brooke's mom here so you can bare your soul.
Okay, well, it's going to be more awkward than I thought then. I'm getting the popcorn. So, Brooke, be quiet because you're about to get a new stepdad who needs ladies' vitamins. Be a good friend, Brooke.
Oh, this is beautiful.
All right. And while we're doing that, one of our listeners wants to call a girl that he's had a secret crush on for the last three years.
Your mom is quite popular around here, so we're going to find out, and he's going to tell her exactly how he feels when we do a brand new Awkward Tuesday phone call.
Well, we'll see.
Okay, we're going to do it. Next.
How far are you willing to go to make love happen? You willing to go five feet? 10 feet?
Would you go across the pond, mate?
Some of our listeners have met people over in Europe and they say, I'm going to fly over there and I'm going to spend my whole life savings and meet him.
And then they end up on the loser line a couple days later.
One of our listeners... But one of our listeners, Carter, is willing to put everything at stake and even ask a bunch of dumb radio people for help just to make love happen for him.
Carter, this is probably the worst decision of your life, but welcome to the show, man. Hey, what's up, guys? Thank you.
Tell us about the situation that you're in and why you're reaching out to us.
Oh. Yeah. Okay. Close enough to dap, but not any closer.
I think it's kind of strange that you haven't asked your buddy about it first. That seems like, as a friend, you always ask your friend first, hey, do you mind if I move in on your ex?
Okay. You have obviously known Maya for at least three years now. What's the vibe between you two? Has there ever been any connection there or have you always been really distant?
So now we're calling Maya. Ooh. Yep, I guess so.
Well, I guess first we have to hear what Maya has to say. Is she into this?
We're going to play a song. We'll come back. We'll give you a little bit of advice on what to do and actually probably what not to do. But we'll come back and we'll let you do your Awkward Tuesday phone call right after this, all right? Awesome.
Navigating this situation is going to be a little bit challenging.
Because not only are there landmines everywhere, but there are friendships at stake here. Like if you say the wrong thing, if you focus on the X for too long, or you seem super thirsty, like I've watched and waited for you for the past three years. Now that you're available, I'd like to smell your hair. This time when you're awake.
We should probably ask, have you been smelling her hair, Carter? I mean, when she's sleeping.
Now, look, man, I don't want it to come across like we're painting you as a stalker or a weirdo.
Just a regular guy who's harbored a secret crush for his friend's girlfriend for three years. And with that said, let's get some advice from somebody who's been there. Brooke, what did you think? Stop it. There's only like 10 people in her hometown. There had to be some crossover. Let's take a shot at Brooke. Well, it's easy.
Pretend he's dead.
Pretend the friendship never existed.
All right, don't bring up Eric. Jose, what do you think?
I mean, if you guys have a history together, you can look back on a moment that you shared.
Yeah, and that'll bring some familiarity, make it a little bit less awkward. Yeah, there you go. Let's give it a shout. Feel ready, Carter? As ready as ever.
Technically, the worst thing is that it gets over to your friend Eric. No, stop it, Jeffrey. Don't think about that. Remember, we're pretending Eric is dead. Now, we're going to dial the number. Good luck. We'll be here ready to jump in if you need a little bit of help. Here we go.
Hey, Maya.
Yeah, hello. Hi, Maya. You're on the radio right now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
We're rescuing Carter, too.
That's for sure. We're helping out Carter. He wanted to have a little bit of a strange conversation with you.
He was really hoping for that Italian vodka pasta, though. Oh, yes. That would have been nice. He didn't know where to go when she turned him down on the pasta.
Why does her Southern Hick sound also like her English? Yeah.
Now we're on board with Raisin. Raisinette is like the cutest.
That's what I want to know.
He's feeling like a really sexy man right now. I thought that was Borat. I thought that was a new accent.
Like this meaning the accent that you're talking to him or with him?
That's cute. So you guys are going to meet up in real life?
That's the first time. Yeah, thank you. There we go.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
All right, we've been trying some new things on the podcast. I know change can be a little hard. We're not changing anything. Everything's sticking to the second date updates for sure right here. We're adding. Yes, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's just that we do a full radio show. Yep.
We have a literal brand new full hour episode every day. And there's some of the segments that we do that we think our second date audience would love because it's all about relationship drama. Yeah. So while you have the Sunday scaries, you can just sit back and listen to this and feel better about yourself. And this is a segment we do called Blind Love Is.
Totally not a ripoff of a very well-known reality show. Not an obvious ripoff. Only original content here. But where two listeners meet for the first time on our show. But I'll let Jeffrey explain that here in a second. All I'm going to say is I'm very excited about the wheel of accents that we added to the segment. You know what? The TV show's not doing that. Yeah, that's right. That's a fact.
Hey, let us know in the comments if you like it. And don't forget to share and subscribe. Let's get it started.
You're just loopy from the gas. You would like the dentist.
We're getting to a point where people are emailing us asking us to set them up. Yes!
Yeah, because the apps are that bad. Maybe that's what it is. Yeah, that's why.
Oh, the port-a-potty should not be sparking.
Yay! They work with our producer, right? To come up with some good stuff. So they don't bore us to death.
Small talk can be a little brutal if you don't help it along.
Oh. Oh, no.
It's interesting. It was getting so sexy. I know.
I think it's a family show, Jeff, not a children's show.
Don't talk about kids anymore. You know what? Yeah. Maybe I should stop talking.
Just like an episode of Miss Rachel. Yeah.
And it was obvious he wasn't going to pick his grandpa to have dinner with.
So I think they keep going. No, I
Please only text in if you're 18 and older, though, despite what Jeffrey says about our show. I'm 5.
Maybe our parents will come on the phone.
Which is not something you should tell people. No. It's honest.
That one had to go the quickest.
Oh, my God. What was the outcome?
We agree. That is not an overwhelming majority, but still majority. Yes.
Loved, knows no bounds.
Oh, stinky breath.
Nothing garlic.
What's he doing, darling? From Brooklyn, I think.
Oh, my God.
I didn't know we were dealing with an idiot. Well, yeah.
I'm a dummy. Bro.
Oh, my God.
Which she obviously read right. You were flirting with her.
There's nobody who gives 10% discounts for single hot guys. That doesn't exist.
Wait a minute. Do you believe him, Jeff?
Julia, do you believe him? A 10% hot guy discount?
Wait, stupid on his part or stupid on the hairstylist's part? It is a bad business choice for her.
Adultery-ish.
That was almost marriage counselor-ish. I like that. I like that.
Dude, and I actually believe a dentist giving discounts to a hospital. Those guys are skeezy.
Oh, that's a good answer, Harry.
Look at us. He's changing. I think he just got caught.
Calling Julia his aunt.
Which, by the way, was so insulting. Yeah, why are we not talking about that?
Hey, you found it, the home of the Second Date Update. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And thanks for being here on the weekend with us. Seriously. Welcome to our home. And I know we have a lot of new listeners from all over the world since we've been in the top 10 charts of podcasts. Yes. Which is awesome. And if you don't know, we actually are a full radio show. I know.
Radio still exists and we are talking on it. Yeah. It does. And we do a brand new full hour episode every day on our main feed, Brick and Jeffrey in the Morning. And we just thought, you know, y'all seem to like relationship drama. We're kind of experts on it. And we do a lot of other segments, including this one, Awkward Tuesday phone call. Yes. Love it. Juicy. Seriously.
It's not necessarily always a romantic relationship with these. But it's always awkward. Yeah. And tricky. So sit back and enjoy your Awkward Tuesday phone call on Sunday. Totally makes sense. It starts right now.
I was talking to the second grade boys, Jeff. No, wait, what?
If you have a shared bank account, that's really not wise.
That's just because I like to run the tires right up against the curb. And because she hates his minivan, remember? That's right.
So you're disappointed?
Hey. How long have you been married, Julia? Three years. Okay.
You sound so sweet. It sounds like you're not upset. Like, I can't tell.
Okay. There it is. That was the voice that I didn't hear.
Okay.
I mean, that would throw up a little bit of a red flag for me.
Okay.
He's acting weird. He's like an embarrassed junior high kid, you know, not wanting his mom to be seen.
I mean, isn't it a requirement to become a stylist? I don't know one that isn't drop-dead beautiful.
Let me cut your hair.
And it's normal. It's common. Yeah. It is very. Did that make you feel like a certain way?
What'd you hear?
Yeah, but that still doesn't dismiss her husband's flirting back. You know what I mean? That doesn't make you feel better.
No, but normally like a stylist relationship, that's the first thing you talk about is your significant other. It's literally the first thing that comes up. So that's not a good sign that that's not what they were talking about to me.
Oh, yeah, that she was sneaking around and partitioning and listening in.
Oh, my God. Is he just going to tell you? It just seems crazy. I mean, I don't know.
That's my advice.
I just hope it's some innocent flirting that we're blowing out of proportion. I mean, honestly, that's best case scenario.
At least she wants an answer from her husband. Oh my God. I mean, there's a difference between innocent flirting, like flirting with a cash register lady, or like there's something else going on.
Is that crossing the line? Oh, my God. He has called her pretty twice this week. Oh, wow. Jeffrey, the realization is setting in.
Well, and especially when he's shooing her out the door as soon as he gets there.
Brooke, what do you think? See, that's the way. Okay. Because the thing is, is if you accuse him, it's just not going to go well. I think you say, oh my God, it's been bugging me for two weeks. Your hairstylist looks so familiar and I couldn't place it. And I remember I know her. Okay.
Could be anywhere. We're in a book club. We do wine together. Do you guys have kids yet? You could name anything, honestly. Because if he freaks out that you have a connection to her, that's not a good sign.
But it's good if it's perfectly normal. I mean, sure, you look like kind of a controlling, jealous woman.
You thought you knew her. All you have to do is tell a man, you're just so hot, it's hard for me to imagine that not all women want you. Okay.
Oh, my gosh. Well, that sucks. Okay.
Don't worry. No. I think it's sweet what you did. My friends said each other for free. I'd love to get paid. Yeah. Good point, actually. I mean, it shows that you were serious.
Honestly, you could tell by her first question that she jumped to worst case scenario.
But you believe him, right?
People pay for matchmaking services all the time, and nobody judges them, Jeff. It is funny. His friends all accept the money, though. I mean, maybe it was like a, you know, they don't take the money, right, unless you meet the one.
I don't understand, Donna. Aren't you like, I would be flattered.
Yeah.
It's kind of like the fantasy football dating, though. I've never played fantasy, so I actually don't know.
Yeah, with his good friends because they know you best, right? And it works. That's the amazing thing.
Hey, you found it, the home of the Second Date Update. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And thanks for being here on the weekend with us. Seriously. Yeah, welcome to our home. And I know we have a lot of new listeners from all over the world since we've been in the, you know, top 10 charts of podcasts. Yes. Which is awesome. And if you don't know, we actually are a full radio show. I know.
Radio still exists and we are talking on it. Yeah. It does. And we do a brand new full hour episode every day on our main feed, Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. And we just thought, you know, y'all seem to like relationship drama. We're kind of experts on it. And we do a lot of other segments, including this one, Awkward Tuesday phone call.
Seriously. It's not necessarily always a romantic relationship with these.
Yeah.
So sit back and enjoy your awkward Tuesday phone call on Sunday. Totally makes sense. It starts right now.
What's that? Why is this music playing?
What? Jeff!
The advice is don't keep secrets.
Is this my RBI or what?
Donna, I swear, I don't even know what the issue is yet, but I'm in support of you. I'm being engaged while you still are.
Oh, congratulations. What's his name?
I started an engagement. So, I mean, it's finally happening for you. So, that's great. Yeah. With a person that you love. Yeah.
Can I ask before you tell us what it is? Were you looking for something or you just came across it?
Is that another ooh from Alexis?
I was just confused about the whole desk and laughter and the situation there. Yeah, there's desks. People have those.
Oh, dollar amounts. Is it like $5, like $500? Does it have amounts on it? Is it a lot of money?
Okay, not a lemonade stand. That's what I was kind of hoping. Well, why isn't it just some work thing? Why is everyone assuming it's something weird and odd?
You're not an organized person.
You know the people on the list?
Oh, now I'm confused. Doesn't that feel even more innocent? Yeah.
What?
I mean, he's giving, it's some sort of accounting sheet with people and friends of his. So what else did you find? Did you find anything sketchy about it?
Yeah.
But he's paying out of a joint account. Like, is he that bad at, like, crime? Maybe he didn't realize it.
Why did he have to leave the room?
It's so weird, because I was totally like, oh, it's innocent, you're assuming things, until his reaction. Yeah. His reaction, and why would he have to leave the room to gather himself to tell you about a fantasy football league? He's got to text Melissa.
I knew you were the sketchiest one here.
Or even to see if he's lying or not.
In the meantime, go take $250 out of his account for yourself.
Yeah, and Alexis is like, he obviously left the room to text the woman who probably gave him the fantasy football excuse. God, you guys believe everything I say. I thought that was really smart.
I just think this sucks right now. I mean, he was obviously shady the first time you confronted him. He probably will be again. In the end, I think you just need to say, listen, I'm trying to build a life with you. And that foundation starts with trust. And if you're not going to be in that, I don't know. Like, how do you have a marriage? A little threat.
I mean, how do you start a marriage without trust, without honesty? You can't.
I'm being serious.
You think that guy's being honest about fantasy football, about the list of women that he's playing with?
Yeah. Yeah. But if he turns it around and says, why were you even looking and tries to blame me for it? You know, something's up.
No, Jeff. Never see her again. Art, did you hear that?
I mean, if his mom stepped back from the relationship, I mean, maybe that was actually the problem, which isn't necessarily Art's fault.
I don't know that Art needs to hear them all again.
That's not going to prove your maturity, my man.
Honestly, you could have just stopped talking.
Guys plural. I know, did you have to add an S?
But remember, this is your jumping off point.
Jeff, all of our segments are free. Nobody pays anything to be on this show. He doesn't know that.
Art, I'll just buy you a drink sometime. That's a little bit more. She wants to hear that Shrek accent IRL, Art. She loved it. You stop it.
Hey, it's a Sunday edition, of course, of your Second Date Update podcast. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We're all in PJs. I gotta tell you, I am freaking out a little bit right now because I was just eating a salad out in the hallway. Not standing in the hallway eating it. I was at my desk. But I bit off part of the plastic fork.
Spit out what it was in my mouth, but I still now I'm like paranoid It's in my throat that happened to me the other day, but it wasn't in my mouth I actually like part of it.
Only silver. I was just going to go metal, but I like your idea.
All right. So today is always a little special feature, a little something different that we do on our full show, and we want to bring it over here and see what you guys think.
Definitely relationship drama if you've heard the say yes to the ex segment that we've done before. That's where we just try and help someone get back together with their ex. And I'm just going to tell you today, today celebrity impressions play a major role.
And they brought me a lot of delight. Jose was really on point today.
So I think you're really going to enjoy this. Sit back. And I'll let you know how the fork turns out later. All right. Say yes to the axe only on the Home with a Second Date update. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
That sounds like a catch!
No way. That's right. That's a rallying cry.
Ooh, big question.
I love those rose-colored glasses. Let's go, Jeff.
Yes, we haven't done this in a while. I love this segment.
What's up, Art? We're so excited to hear what made you write in.
Oh, pretty fresh.
Okay. You doing okay?
Okay.
Oh, God. Yeah. Is this the Jeff, I've never been dumped before moment?
Oh, yeah. I mean, I think... Yeah, after a year, it's like, can I stay on them or not?
Well, I mean, that's when you really know, like, if you're going to keep going, so... Okay.
Quizzing you?
What?
Oh, yeah, that could be.
That couldn't have felt good. That would feel like your partner's like trying to make you feel stupid. I feel like it's like she's already annoyed. So everything he does annoys you. I think she's trying to prove to herself how dumb he is or something. I mean, you're not dumb, Art. I'm not saying that.
you know whatever works we don't judge it's great it's really funny wait so cute is what you mean bro it's really cute come on did she change did she not enjoy your shrek voice anymore
I don't know. I mean she wasn't very kind to you at the end. Like obviously it sounds like she was snowballing.
Used it as an excuse, Jeff? I don't know about that. We don't know. All I'm saying is it sounds like she was not as nice as she could have been towards the end. Just making fun of him for not being able to spell, for God's sakes.
Yeah.
Well, you ought to be ready, because if we call this woman and she's like, this is the defining moment, whether or not... This is the defiant moment. Go write it down somewhere.
But listen, maybe she's miserable too. Maybe she's sitting back there and regretting being so hard on you for all this stuff.
I think that's the math.
That's couples math.
Oh, my God. When was the last time you talked to her?
Oh, my gosh.
That's what you do when you break up with someone.
But they're not you, you know? Yeah.
I think she's dating, not in a relationship.
We're supposed to make him feel better, not worse.
But she has no idea it's to talk to Art.
Yeah. Low low. Yeah. I'm just worried about Art. Art, how are you feeling?
I love you, Shrek. Can we just say maybe you can use it as a last resort?
Yeah! Actually, I haven't heard him this excited about anything.
Lisa, welcome to the show. Good morning.
Yeah, absolutely. Oh, my God. What do you think when our producer reached out to you?
We're getting farther away from the truth here.
Let's keep going.
Okay, that's a positive response, though.
Yeah.
It doesn't matter who broke up with who. Yeah, you're a married woman. It was nine years ago. You found a husband. You had the kids. You did the dream. Because couples that lie together stay together.
This seems like the most chill go with the flow mom ever. I know, seriously. Dana, I think that maybe we should... Don't say therapy.
Hey, you found it, the home of the Second Date Update. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And thanks for being here on the weekend with us. Seriously. Welcome to our home. And I know we have a lot of new listeners from all over the world since we've been in the top 10 charts of podcasts. Yes. Which is awesome. And if you don't know, we actually are a full radio show. I know.
Radio still exists and we are talking on it.
It does. And we do a brand new full hour episode every day on our main feed, Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. And we just thought, you know, y'all seem to like relationship drama. We're kind of experts on it. And we do a lot of other segments, including this one, Awkward Tuesday phone call. Yes. Love it. Juicy. Seriously. It's not necessarily always a romantic relationship with these.
But it's always awkward. Yeah. And tricky. So sit back and enjoy your awkward Tuesday phone call on Sunday. Totally makes sense. It starts right now.
Yeah.
Yikes.
I mean, that is helpful information.
Is it at the grocery store in your hometown? Because that's where it's the worst. Let's find out. Yeah, but you can get away there. This sounds like something where she's not able to get away.
hi thanks for having me i really appreciate it oh my god i'm having anxiety for you just a thought i can think of two people that i do not ever want to run into the rest of my life i've never seen alexa smile this big because she knows drama is coming so she's excited it's not my life this time tell us what's going on what made you email us oh my i don't even know where to start but um
Yeah.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah. But just reminder that the new kid is always cool in the beginning.
That's great news.
Are you saying you're at your ex's house right now then?
It really was him? Yep.
Oh, what a small world this is.
That would be terrible. I mean, especially like most exes you're cool with, but there's always the one that you just don't ever want to see again. And it sounds like that's the person for you.
So wait, is he there when you pick her up? Do you see him?
Do you bring it up to the mom? No. I mean, you have to, because isn't it going to be even more awkward if you're like, I know your husband?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't have an answer. It's just all of that is like my worst nightmare.
And you know the dad will definitely be at the birthday party. Because it's like you could avoid them the other way.
I mean, at least they throw a fun party. So wait, if this guy, if this ex was in love with you, do you think he has any idea that you're the mom of his daughter's new friend? I doubt it. Like if you look alike at all or like resemble? Or just his name, right? The name or like, I mean, honestly, if people are still in love with their exes, they stalk them on social media.
No, I'm not in love with exes.
She was just curious what they were doing. I mean, I've done it before, but not currently. Yeah, I'm not.
Okay.
I think that's the right thing to do.
Did you unpack your boxes?
You should be friends, too.
Maybe that's just not too much. Totally simple. Maybe everyone will be an adult about this.
Yes, of course.
Oh, man. The one ex you didn't want to see ever again. Yeah, not the one you want to get back with. Yeah, like the bad one.
Yeah, because she hasn't even seen the ex yet. She's only interacted with the mom of the girl. We don't know if he knows. And a birthday party means that he's going to be there.
Okay, this is the thing. You have to be so casual. You cannot act like it's a big deal.
I'm saying when you talk to her, you need to be like, oh, my God, so funny. I just realized I know your husband. What a small world. Unbothered. Unbothered.
No big deal.
Yeah, that's what I want you to do. Okay.
More like silly, funny, coincidence story, not fun fact. What a coinkydinky. Maybe call it a feisty fact.
I thought that was going to be good, and now I'm more stressed out.
She could have done that without us, Jeff.
Actually, stop recording. Just tell us how this goes later.
She wanted advice, but that's not the advice we gave her.
Because it was definitely a surprise to Dana.
Okay, here's the thing, Dana. It feels like Alice is maybe being a little bit more of the adult here.
I think you need to be more blunt.
You found it, the Second Aid Update podcast. Thank you so much for being here. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, of course. And we do want to remind you that for the first time ever, we have Second Aid Update merch. Yes! Don't miss out on it. Yes, it's so cute. It's designed by legitimately like a world-renowned ski and snowboard designer, which is pretty sweet. That's super cool.
And it makes us look cool, doesn't it?
If only I could ski and snowboard good, but you know. And even cooler is 100% of the proceeds. We don't see a penny of this. Go to Convoy of Hope, which is a fantastic organization still trying to help people rebuild their lives after the L.A. wildfires. So they're amazing. So much for being here. That link for the merch is in the show notes right now. And hey, enjoy a second date update.
I think. I mean, it could be a hangout, it could be the first meeting, but it's not a date. It's just a conversation.
So are you the clingy one in the relationship like Jeffrey is Amanda?
Oh, like her company is one of those that is like as much food as you want, all the vacation time, and we constantly drink together. Yeah, it's pretty awesome.
Traditional, that's funny.
Probably one with line dancing and country music and stuff.
But it's a good move, right? Like somebody standing in the bar, you go stand directly next to them.
I thought it was a rich person thing. Wait, if you do it... Oh, because she does, like, probably, you know... She's an equestrian rider. Yeah, she's not a Western-style lady.
That was the name of the horse, yeah. Oh, I love him. And that's what made him laugh so hard? Yeah, yeah. Must have had to been there.
At the country bar? She's a Louisiana girl. You're going to switch it up a little.
Did you check in with your friend Claire? Because Claire works with him, right? Like, that's how you guys all met. Yeah.
So his friend brought him. Yeah, I see. So it's not someone that works with her that she could.
Oh, I would love to hear it. Are you joking me? I don't want to dance. No, please. No, no.
Oh, Jeffrey. Or maybe an oh, baby.
Very country.
Yeah, but he texted her back that he was excited to see her.
I mean, I just don't want you to be too invested, Amanda.
Well, I don't, you know, it's like what my mom taught me. You know, you plan for the worst, hope for the best. Right?
Oh, he should be Jack, though. It's a much better cowboy name. It is a better cowboy name.
What? How do you know that it's Jeffery?
What? Jeffrey, now you're starting to freak me out. Are you joking? You don't know this guy?
Why are you so red, Jeffrey?
Oh my God, you're so uncomfortable.
This is not going how it normally goes.
We're all confused. You have one flustered host over there.
Okay. That's very clear. Zach, are you disappointed in this phone call?
Okay, so, Zach, this isn't for you.
Is that hot for you, Gemma? That's kind of a leading question.
You're not a confrontational guy either. You get where he's coming from.
You trying to put me in a corner right now? How dare you? He's compensating. Did I just break Jeff?
What does that mean?
What? Hey! You're just going to date the guys that you find less attractive? What does that mean? Less competition?
Yeah, it's your fault. Something's weird about you that you like me. I swear I'll stop brushing my teeth and washing my face.
Hey, thanks for finding the Second Date Update feed. We are so glad you're here.
honestly hey it's brick and jeffrey in the morning and this is the home of the second date update we'd love it if you'd like and subscribe and even more than that we'd love it if you purchased a second date update merch for a cause t-shirt or sweatshirt yeah for summer yeah seriously the color scheme they are so cool uh the logo is done by a world renowned a snowboard and ski designer Banksy?
Noelle.
But he's really good and talented, honestly.
Yeah. You got to check him out. And remember, 100% of proceeds go to a great cause, Convoy of Hope, which is helping out with those LA wildfire relief efforts. So again, the link to buy is in the show notes. And here's a little Saturday treat for you. Enjoy.
Ooh, I always love those.
I know, she perked up. Are you happy finally? No, I love being married to my husband. I'm single for a long time.
Okay.
I've never had any tact, so I would definitely approach him. Brooke's an approacher for sure. Okay, yeah. Totally.
Oh, I don't know. Maybe buy him a drink.
I've told many guys at bars when I was single, you're hot. That's good.
Were my two twins at the bar? Is that why?
I thought you said somebody approached you at the bar. You met on a dating app?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, like community seating.
Wait, the women were still there when she came back from the bathroom?
Oh, that's a bad look.
is it good at all that maybe she saw that they liked your vibe and she was like oh not at all it's one thing if they're like making it a joke right and they're including her and it feels like a group thing but this sounds like she was really left out yeah it probably hurt yeah i was trying to do everything i could to show her non-verbally that i am not interested in them i mean i was
You didn't do everything because you didn't move. Or ask them to move.
Did Gemma like that reason?
Were you able to salvage the date at all?
Like how long were they there?
Yeah, he told her the whole reason he thought they were doing that, right?
What did she say?
Yeah. Dang. What do you wish you would have done differently?
Yeah, table for two. Or just accepting attention from other women. Just the sandwiching of the two women, I think, is probably what you need to avoid.
He tried to play footsies. With her, with Gemma.
I think she was a little... It's probably just a table leg under there.
Yeah. How are you feeling, Tony?
How are you feeling downstairs?
Have you talked to her at all since the date?
Did you just gag? Is that what I heard?
He actually told us something similar.
Yeah, those b****es. Seriously, okay. Honestly, that's kind of a good sign, Gemma, because that means that you were disappointed.
You know what I mean? Well, I mean, I'm just saying, like, you liked him. Yeah. Because if you didn't like him, you might come back and be like, thank God.
Oh, that's such a relief. What do you think their intentions were?
I think we're doing cicadas lately. Yeah, I thought of cicadas too, Brooke.
Did he do it? Did the waiter do it? How much money does something like that cost? I'm just curious. The waiter's probably annoyed with them, too, if they're this type of person. Salsa's like $6 plus tips.
I still don't understand that you're not blaming Tony. So why are you mad at him? Why did you go?
Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, I think he feels that way too, honestly.
And the other girls are there. No, they're not. That's a joke. That's a joke. Just Alexis and I. That's the only women.
That's it. That's very formal, Tony. Well, hello there.
Well, I mean, it does kind of sound like he's still blaming the women. Like, you need to own up to your own non-action a little bit more.
Oh, darn it. Actually, I'm actually worried that it can. Yeah.
I did not even think about that. It's actually 25 bucks per person at this point.
You could call it a family deal.
Have you guys not been following the Miley Cyrus family drama right now? No. Oh, my God. Her mom, Tish, got married to a guy that her younger sister was dating. The whole thing is a hot mess. Those two aren't talking. It doesn't end well. I'm just telling you.
It's so true. Wow. What a romantic look.
Why did I do that?
How you doing? You sound down.
You all believe that someone can do this? Well, if it's a psychic, yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to go with sure.
It doesn't sound like he believes in it either.
Oh, it's just even over. It's online.
Talk to her and then she draws. Right. What kind of questions did she ask you?
That's good. Shocking. She didn't draw an ugly person. That is so weird.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's all mine, right? I mean, you can put it on your dating app and say, this is what I'm looking for.
That's so smart.
Oh, no. You're going to show her? What do you mean you told her that? This is sketchy.
Wait, so that night, we're still at the wedding reception, and you're going to pull out the picture on your phone?
Okay.
How long does it take her to respond to your text?
She knows.
I don't think that was it. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. He should have just brought her back to his apartment so she could have seen it on the fridge herself.
But you found her. So wait, wait, wait. Are we going to call this girl for you?
They dance for three songs. Okay.
I feel like we're trying to force something here, but I'll be on board.
Yeah.
Okay. Zoe. Zoe the soulmate.
I think he just apologizes and says, I didn't mean to hurt you.
Give it to a good photo. It has to be flattering. It works. I mean, you can't lie. Like, how long is he going to keep up that he's a good artist?
Let's not say that.
Yeah, but still, a couple months, she could be in a relationship already.
The weight of love on your shoulders must be hard. It's difficult.
Do you want to tell us? I mean, it seems like it's very clear why you're not calling him.
And we thought that was the reason. We were calling it back that it freaked you out. Yeah. Well, I mean, that was creepy anyway, but... So where did your mom come into play here? Yeah, that's weird.
I don't know that it matters probably to her. I don't care how it happened. It's just the fact that it happened.
Yeah, he may not even know. Yeah, I don't know.
Did you know that you had matched with her mom?
Wait, have you been talking to her mother?
Did you send the mom the same picture you sent Zoe?
This is so weird.
Just leave it alone. So at this point, do we have a double date or?
That is so insulting. I am sorry, Zoe. Why is that insulting? Ask your mom for us. Because. That'd be great. He says that'd be great.
Don't you're hurting his cause right now, Jeffrey. I mean, the thing is, Holly, has your aunt ever said anything good about somebody you wanted to date?
Don't you think it'd be better to, like, go to him and give him another chance to, like, get to know him better?
Is it 1920 in here? I don't know.
Holly, he was visiting his grandma in the hospital when you met him. Oh, who put the grandma in the hospital?
Bring your own hooch.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Welcome to the Second Date Update.
Like IRL. Well, you know it is the weekend, and on the weekends we just give you a little treat, okay? Sit back for a little drama, a little fun, maybe some laughter. It's all part of your Second Date Update, starting right now.
It's true.
Please don't tell me it was an unconscious patient.
I don't know. I just like, I met her. She was in a coma. She looks so peaceful.
Do you work at the hospital? Is that the story?
And I bet grandma is excited, right? Because grandma... She kind of played matchmaker.
Oh, that's so cute. I bet it was exciting for her, too, because I'm like, you know, you're typically just dealing with sick people all day, not like hot grandsons. True. So that's exciting.
Oh, a couple hours. So it was like you're wearing swimsuits at the beach type of situation, or was it...
Okay.
Yeah. That a boy. That a boy.
Yeah. You know it, Noah. All right. That's actually a really cute date, I think.
Yeah, not a lot of pressure.
Fun.
Oh. Shut up, you guys crashed a beach wedding in your, like, beach outfit? That's amazing.
That's pretty fun. That's actually great. Did you guys get a chance to, like, dance?
Maybe she didn't understand, because it goes pretty quick between those photos. Like, maybe it was too much for her to register that quickly. I feel that.
Yeah, I'm just like, oh, my God, he just kissed me. Wait, what are you asking me to do? And then, bam, photo. You know, like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.
Let me solve this puzzle. I'm sorry you're a genius using the photo booth. Not everybody is. I mean, that could be the case. Did you take it as she didn't want to touch you or that she was just overwhelmed?
Maybe your cheek kiss was bad in some way.
You just cut that fourth photo off of the strip because that was the bad one.
Did you try to kiss her again at the end of the date?
Okay, smart. So at least you picked up the cue. Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I know. It's just so crazy. I mean, like, you guys are bonded because you did something kind of naughty together, you know? Yeah. Jumping into a wedding like that. Yeah. Shared story.
That's creative.
Well, in the afternoons, by the way. Hey, Holly, we're all here, obviously. This is the show.
Wouldn't be very funny if we introduced ourselves at the front.
Gotcha, Holly!
Yeah, we heard about your date. It sounded super fun, like the beach and the...
Oh my God, it sounded so cute. And kind of like risky. Yeah. I would think that that'd be exciting on a first date.
We heard about that. That was kind of like a highlight.
Oh, cute.
What did she say?
So is that hot to you or not?
Wait, so you're holding Noah responsible for what your aunt thinks he did in his past life?
and like you know he was like let's go crash a wedding and stuff girl he stole a couple cookies like he didn't like oh wow he could have laundered them out yeah it's the gateway with the fishes you know like believing in psychics or not i would take your aunt's advice with a grain of salt she's trying to protect you exactly well i believe it and i don't know also like
Wow. That's a lot of information.
Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about it either.
Yeah. I probably want to be on a mobster's good side to be fair.
It reminds me of when I'm driving with my husband and he acts like I don't see the other cars on the road and he's like oh my god. Literally, I know they're turning. I'm not an idiot. That's a good example.
He can say watch out just in a cool tone.
I think that's your last option. Yeah, do you have anything else to say to her?
That was a little condescending.
That was a little condescending.
I thought you had something that you were going to say. He commanded the room like I did. I told you. What did you want to say?
Hey, you found us. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning on our second date podcast. Not like it's that hard to find these days since we're charting on the top comedy charts every week on Spotify. You're welcome.
That's how we're getting there.
All right. Hey, thanks for being here. And don't forget, we do have 45 more minutes of this painful show. If you can endure it over on our main feed, just go to Brooke and Jeffrey for that one. But right now, let's get to what you came for. That's the second date.
I thought you were going to say like a roller coaster. Yeah. I was like, what?
Oh, man, Vaughn.
Yeah. I mean, what is this? You met a girl at a gym? Is that what he's getting to?
Wow. My husband's at a run club. Should I be concerned? That really is the worst club I could think of.
Oh.
Okay.
Well, he's going to be wearing an orange reflective vest after this report. Usually he just wears a bunch of pineapple shoes. I don't know.
Okay. How many people are in this club?
Oh, this is like a big event. Okay.
Okay.
Ugh, dude, she's like, I'd like to think stairs. That's what I'd like to think.
Oh, my God, I think it's such a good compliment.
I think just the first deal maybe is what he's talking about. One of many deals to come. I think he, like, picked up an envelope. Were you able to turn it into a date?
Oh, you did? Okay. Tell us about it.
What?
I almost made that comment about burning calories. No.
No. Don't talk about calories ever with a woman.
I understand his intention.
She's not calling you back.
Yeah. No, what happened next?
Tall shelves?
Like that you would put books on or something? What do you mean?
That's kind of wild.
Oh, yeah, dude.
And it's first date. That's cute. I mean, it means that she's like somewhat attracted to you. Yeah.
Oh.
Okay, so you've had a couple run clubs in there, too, and you haven't seen her or heard from her at all?
But you have texted her.
Did you send her another nutrients table?
She liked him?
It's going to be my new excuse for not exercising. Sorry, honey. I want to remember this meal. These are love cows.
That's a good point, Jeff.
My goodness.
You're the star. You were him. Did people applaud you with asking for your autograph and shaking your hand as you walked out of the bar?
You sound busy. Sorry, Tess, to bother you.
I can't tell that was a good laugh or a bad laugh. Yeah, it was pretty neutral.
You're laughing still. Is it a nervous laugh? Yeah. Have you heard this segment before where we call people?
I mean, not for you because you almost got hit by a mug, but pretty amazing that he saved you from it. Right.
But I thought he said you didn't see it until after it crashed right where you had been sitting.
I don't know if the time limit had... Maybe she needs to know her superheroes before they step in, you know? Listen, Batman, I don't know you yet, and you can tell me a little bit about your life.
Major ick. So funny.
Yeah.
Ew.
I think what she's saying is that she doesn't want to be treated like a damsel in distress. She wants to be treated like she can handle her own emergencies, okay? Whether it's a car pummeling towards her or a mug falling from her shelf, let the girl do her.
Jeffery is like, you're stunned.
Then why the hell would you give it back?
You're trying to get better? Okay, well, when you say it's a messy breakup, this makes it a messy breakup. Yeah, you're not helping. Except, like, you were the issue.
Which is expensive. Go with the dirty old sweatshirt.
I think it's amazing you didn't notice Missy. Yeah.
Wait, you're going to make that happen?
That's true. You didn't notice someone stalked you to a grocery store.
Oh, man. Wow. That is a hard reality right there.
You got finessed.
You know, only the OGs are here on the weekend. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, the home of the Second Date Update. And if you haven't heard, we do have brand new merch for Akaz, Second Date Update Edition. First time ever. I know, and it's so cute. And the best part of it is 100% of proceeds are going to LA Wildfire Relief.
I know that that feels like forever ago that it happened, but the work is really being done right now to build back. So go to the show links, notes. Show notes. Thank you. There's a link in the show notes. There it is. That's what I'm trying to say. And purchase for you, your loved ones. Thank you so much for your support. Again, 100% of proceeds going to Convoy of Hope.
And here is your classic second date update.
How does it feel to lower your standards of advice this low?
Oh, that's fun. How'd you do that?
Did I stop wearing my AirPods to the grocery store?
Oh, you need bread too? I needed bread. Okay, that's kind of cute.
At least she's joking. Well, I mean, I'll tell you, when women say that, it's like joking, but also we also need to know.
Oh, yeah. That's easy. You're going to make tacos tonight, huh? Yeah.
What have people been complaining about? This is so easy.
Wow. That's great. And there was no ghosting involved? Well, except for now. Maybe, yeah.
No, didn't lead to any of that. That's okay. It's a first hangout.
Yeah. You're not wrong, Jeff.
I feel like that's something Alexis would do.
It's the same as when you're meeting someone at a second bar, like a restaurant to a bar. It's like, see you there. Yeah.
Yeah.
But I don't feel like you're owed explanation after only one hangout, Jeff.
That's the thing. But we want it. Do you want to see her again?
I like that you're blaming yourself. That's a good start.
And was her idea. That was her idea. It was very important to mention.
I'm wondering if she was hoping for something more that never was materializing.
Yes. Yes, she did, Jeff.
How do we not know after all of those things, Jeff? I think it's very clear.
You want an impartial audience?
I think your positivity is really sweet.
Well, he knows something went wrong because you left and didn't come back.
Are you excited to hear Michael's name again?
What happened?
Oh, my God. No, we love humiliating stories. We are walking embarrassments to everyone that we know. Like, you are in the right company.
What do you mean? What?
Wait, so you saw him in the grocery store by chance or you went there because you knew he was going to be there?
The whole thing was a setup so you could go in and steal her guitar back? Did he leave with the guitar?
Yeah, Brooke. You do the book for like 15, 20 minutes. You discuss it.
I mean, if it needs to happen, it needs to happen, Jeff. I mean, she's not getting revenge. She's just trying to get her guitar back. That's different. I have had reconnaissance missions like this myself.
No, we don't need to.
It's fine. I mean, it's not like you're ever going to see him again.
What do you mean? Didn't she already get the guitar?
I was going to say trust issues. Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, come on, Marcus. Don't be so righteous, all right? You've done shady stuff before, too. We all have in the dating world.
How did we make that jump?
What? Wait, really?
So do those children.
And we're paying for it.
Or heavy drinking, I think, is a good idea for you, too.
Absolutely.
Okay, I think she said no.
I just want my earrings. Okay.
Yeah, I think you're going to have to show up to his house and get them. She can have them.
That was below the belt, Marcus.
We're almost like a pawn shop at this point. Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
I get more compliments on my Second Date Update merch for a cause than any that we've ever done. Than your regular clothes. Yeah, probably.
That's not even a lie. They're so cute. Yeah, I personally love the crew neck, but do you? We got a hooded sweatshirt and we got a t-shirt. They will only be available for a limited time and 100% of proceeds go to the charity Convoy for Hope. Yay! So, again, hit that link up in the notes. And we got some comments, some great listener comments before we get to the podcast.
Yeah, I'm thinking of our listener, Roger Alvarado, today. Because he said he's listening on the toilet right now. Attaboy.
And that was the other day, so I wonder where he is today for the second day.
Dude, I tell my husband all the time, I'm like, man, there's no way you have to go at the same time every day.
Just wait until you have to go. And, Roger, do you listen to us the whole time you're in there? Is it like part of it? You know, I got questions. He stays for a long time.
I love it. I love it. All right. Hey, thanks for being here again, and let's get this started. It's your Second Date Update, only right here on Brick and Jeffrey in the Morning.
I'm going to say no immediately. I don't know. I'm into it. What are you going to do? Are you going to hang from a ceiling? Are you going to jump out of a plane?
Yes.
I probably have some on my face from my breakfast still. Earlier this morning, I usually do a peanut butter. That's what's in the corner of your mouth. Cut her off, please.
Why'd you leave there, girl?
I got my jar of Skippy ready. Let's go.
The what?
So awesome. I want to go. Do you get drunk and roar like a stegosaurus?
Where do the dinosaurs come into play?
But are you still attracted to a guy who shows up to your date in an inflatable T-Rex costume?
Ooh, could you share one so that it's like you're hanging out still? Oh, dang. That's a good idea.
Does it not hurt as bad when you land? Yeah.
Did you do the rock wall, or is this just something you were amused by? No, absolutely not. Oh, okay.
Okay. Still proud of you. And you still liked him because you guys left together. Okay.
Decisions like this is why the dinosaurs don't roam the earth anymore.
Oh, dang. Didn't you need to sleep at that point? No. You're not sober at work the next day. I can tell you that.
Oh. I mean, you were on a date, so you probably wore the good stuff. Oh, my God. I don't even have any good stuff, so good for you. Yeah.
Oh, God. It's the worst, too, because you leave it actually on accident and everyone assumes you're doing it so that the guy calls you again. And you're like, no, honestly.
Do you guys talk to their friends about that?
And what?
What? Were they playing dumb? Was it a joke?
What are you thinking? Like wrong door? Is that what you mean?
I was thinking that.
Why does no one else want to know who the random guy in his house was?
Get her diamonds back, Jeff. Okay, it's more than just earrings. Seriously. Jeff, it's so important. I didn't realize. Thank you, Alexa.
Do you think he moved out in the middle of the night?
That's my neighbor.
Or the right person. We should remember his name. So many things.
Pretty fun. Hey, good morning.
I'm the fun one. What's up, Marcus?
I did sound like Eeyore when I said that.
Okay. Marcus, are you there?
It was kind of a crazy night. Well, I mean, we also heard you went up a rock wall in a T-Rex costume. So I think crazy suits the event.
No, no, no. No, Marcus. It was not a move. It was not like a ploy to get you to call her back. She honestly forgot them.
No, but I talked to her. I talked to her, and I could tell that, like, okay, listen. If a woman leaves something at your house and it's all an act, it's not going to be her diamond earrings, okay?
It's something that she could totally toss, right? We don't know if they're real diamonds, though.
Then why aren't you texting her back?
Why don't you just give her the earrings? Yeah, true.
You know what? How is he going to warn him? There's no response.
Oh, God. This is so weird. He hung out with her until 3 in the morning. You weren't that scared, Marcus. Yeah, come on.
So were you.
Are you trying to show up at her house, Marcus? Is that what you're trying to do?
That's so unfair. Or they'd come into the studio and be like, which one of you did it? Yeah. Pretty shifty ourselves.
That's the whole goal of this show. She's so illegal. She just threw up a little bit in her mouth when you said that, I think.
Why would you go with paper first? It's always rock. What are you thinking?
I win. Let's go. You're out.
Quick, Alexis, before the second date starts, tell everyone hello in Australian. Oh, good day, mate. Oh, there he goes. That must be the reason why we're charting in Australia on the Top Comedy Podcast. Yeah, totally hot. All right, thanks for being here. And don't forget, if you do love this much of the show, we've got 45 more minutes of it over on our main feed. Just search Brooke and Jeffrey.
Now they understand what we're talking about. Let's get to what you came for. It's your second date.
Oh, Jeffrey. Sorry, I had to let it out. I couldn't help myself.
Well, we are like praying mantises.
Okay.
Oh, to like see who gets to go talk to her first or something?
And I'm guessing it worked this time since you're on the phone with us.
Oh, and she liked your paper, huh?
Do you tell them about the day?
I mean, you've done this so many times. Do you have a go-to opening line that you use when you lose Rochambeau and have to approach?
So what'd you say to Hannah?
Love talking about the weather.
Yeah, but the thing is, it's not a line. Like, that's nice. It feels normal and relaxed.
All right. How did nice dinner go? That's exciting.
Really? Because you're famous now. Are you like funny in the interview or you're being like dead serious talking about?
Yeah, I could just turn off if you're seeing someone do that.
Oh, no. You should have used that moment to be like, come back to my place. We'll watch the 11 o'clock news together.
Yeah, that's right, Jose.
Oh, dang. God, everything sounds so good. It's a mystery.
It's a fine criminal act.
It's rock, paper, scissors.
I don't know what that stands for, but it sounds odd. Actually, the odds are very high. Get your vaccines.
That's the wildest part.
Yeah, totally. We never heard. It seemed like you enjoyed the TV interview, but did she say anything about it?
Oh, yeah.
Do you think that the reporter realized that she was interviewing someone that was on a first date? Oh, I don't know. Like, that's so funny.
Her phone's probably ringing off the hook after that interview.
Maybe this is her agent.
We heard you give good local television interviews.
This is so weird. Very cool. Wait, what's so weird? The date was so weird or the news part? No, like that you guys are calling me. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, that makes sense. I understand.
It was an issue. He said that they just interviewed you about like local crime and how you felt about it.
That's kind of endearing, though. All he said was that he was a ham. And so he was totally fine being interviewed.
Oh, I thought it was like more generic the way he described it. Okay.
Did he, though? I mean, maybe he did.
He's making it all up?
And I was totally going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Like, well, maybe he did see the purse snatcher and didn't want to tell you.
I mean, maybe he meant like, hey, friend that's a girl. Girlfriend. No guy ever means that.
Oh, I've never been called that. That hurts. It did hurt. That hurts.
Oh, God. That's messed up.
Her mom was going to save her.
Probably, yeah. After you pay the bill, obviously.
Duh. I think the more important point is, did you hear that her mom was there? Yeah.
Well, this is not going well.
We'll give you your own punch card.
She does like to do that.
Yeah, well. I don't know. She's really good at it, though. I'm still okay with it. I know. Brooke Venmo $400 right now.
Hey, you found the Second Date Podcast. Thank you so much for being here. I found it too, finally. It's pretty easy, actually. Thanks for being here, Jose. You're welcome. I love it. I love it. And hey, just a reminder, if you want to endure or punish yourself for 45 more minutes, we've got a full show, whole hour long. I dare you to try it. At the Brooke and Jeffrey feed.
But for now, we'll get into some questionable relationship advice.
Okay, I love when men do this. I think they're still pretty good. I bet you think that.
Oh, man. Where did you find this? Yeah, why would Alexis want to remember this?
Hi. I think I'm more amazed that you can find someone to come with you every time. You know, like once or twice as a friend. Then I'm like, girl, I am not going on your eighth first date with you. People don't even want to go on their own dates.
That is not true.
For a first date?
Low profile. It's better? That is, I mean, okay, I'm sorry, girl. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you listen. That feels unhealthy to me.
I mean, I say that, but I don't really want that to happen, Jeff.
So I'm guessing the mom went on this one, too.
That's way better than the first thing you started this with.
Nice. Okay. Yeah, but it felt like it was kind of stalling, you say.
It's interesting. You're so assertive. And then bring your mom. I love it. The first part.
And so you're excited about this date.
Can I ask, like, when you're separated from your mother, are you guys, like, secretly meeting in the bathroom at any point? Are you giving each other signals throughout the date?
I feel like it's risky, though, because I look so much like my mom. If someone saw me talking, you would know a million percent. Totally.
She's way tanner than me.
We had a little bit of everything. Okay, so you're leaning in on the foodie connection you guys have. Yeah, definitely. So, like, it was pretty chill.
Right, because he can't walk her to the car because it's her mom's car. My mom has the keys. Oh, no. She takes her mom. Unlock the car, right?
What if the mom and dad are also on a date?
If that happens, I will love it so hard.
For some reason, I just imagine your mother in the window of that sushi restaurant just banging on it saying, way to go, honey.
Okay. And we never asked either. Have you talked to him since? I know that you said the kiss took him off guard, but maybe, have you heard anything?
Did we need to dial her mom in on the other line too?
Hey, Jeremy. How are you doing?
Hi. Hey.
Yep. It's going to be a tough nut to crack, Jeff.
Oh, she scammed you.
She did not allude to any sort of scam when we talked to her.
I mean, I don't change what I do.
I forget my card, Jeff.
She always says, oh, I'm so sorry.
Wait, so, like, she threw it down so, like, if you order 10 rolls, you get an 11th free or something? Like, that type of deal? Is that what you mean?
That's not a scam. Why wouldn't she throw it down? You're eating there. You don't have a loyalty card.
She should have said, hey, they have a loyalty program here.
If not, I'm in it. When someone buys me Starbucks, it's so hard for me not to put my rewards barcode right there. I don't know that that's a scam. I bet she just didn't even think about it.
And then she can take her That is genius. I'm racking up the free California rolls and nobody even knows.
I'm texting all my friends right now. I'm sorry. That is a big accusation.
Well, it's so small. Because I'm telling you, she doesn't even think about it.
It may not be like that.
Doesn't feel less scammy. What are you talking about? Yeah.
Oh, she got you. Wait a minute.
No, come on, you guys. Jeffrey, you really think that she is going to spend hours talking to men, then hours going out on terrible dates with them. Like, it is not worth, like, I can't imagine all of that energy being worth whatever you end up getting.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you. The reward is not worth the effort. Yeah. Okay.
Yes. I don't know why he's so upset about this still. I totally don't see an issue with this.
I almost missed my next date. I mean, it worked for her. She had a boyfriend after that for years.
Guys, that's actually cute. Because she said not makes me think she did. Yeah, that's how I feel.
All right.
Yeah, it's great. And super cute. Link is in the show notes for that. Yeah, do we got some fun comments? Yeah, I saw JC commented and said, you guys go hand in hand with my morning coffee and trying not to spit my coffee out while cracking up. I want to know what you ordered, JC. Let us know. I need new coffee ideas. Okay. Interesting.
Professional Helper said, it was a little surreal to hear you guys mention the videos where they use your posts and put the games as backgrounds. Oh, yeah. Like the subway server guys and stuff. Yeah.
Oh my gosh. Venmo requested you. Wow. Yeah.
That sounds exhausting.
Yeah. Yeah.
The thing is complimenting kind of goes against the philosophy that he believes in.
No, I'd be breaking desireless.
Yeah, let's get rid of laws, too.
I really should have stepped in before that, but... The one thing that he is focused on right now, Tori, his only focus is getting another date with you. That is why he reached out to a radio show to get a hold of you and arrange a second meetup. And we would pay for it if you're willing to give him a second chance.
But remember, Bobby's not good. He's excellent. So you could level up.
Oh, Bobby. You're back to square one, dude.
Yeah, welcome to dating women, buddy. It's going to be a long road for you.
You know, after thousands of second date calls, I'm starting to notice a trend. What's that? Sometimes men don't listen very good. Hmm.
I don't know if anybody saw this, but even when guys are beating over the head with good information, sometimes it just doesn't register for guys.
Pivot. What is Brooke saying, Jose?
The thing is, next time you get angry at a man for not listening, maybe turn your attention to God for making us that way.
Yep. Thanks a lot, God.
Put us in a bad spot over here, but we're going to put you into a good spot in your dating life if you want some help with that. At least we'll try. Email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back.
Maybe on a good day.
Go check out all of our second day podcasts wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey.
We got an email from one of our listeners who says he's been living his life by a dating philosophy that's been circulating on the internet now for about two decades.
It's called the Tao of Steve. That is... T-A-O of Steve. And I've not heard anything about this, but according to him, it involves three basic rules that men must live by.
Number one, be desireless. Number two... I get that one.
I'm not sure. I guess we'll find out. Number two is be excellent. And number three, be gone. And if you can live by all three of those rules as a man, you will become irresistible to any woman on earth. Even married women, Brooke, so look out. Yay! Maybe get your earplugs ready before we talk to him.
Yeah, we're going to learn more in a second. First, let's say hello to Bobby, who needs our spiritual guidance today. Bobby, welcome to the show. Hey, guys. How you doing?
Yeah. So tell us, who's this woman that's making you go against everything you believe in?
Yeah, next thing you know, you end up on this show and you hit your rock bottom. So, Bobby, tell us how did you get to this point? Like, tell us about your date with Tori.
Okay, so now you're demonstrating that you're a guy who's willing to help strangers. You know your way around the neighborhood generally. A lot of excellent qualities there.
Yes. Exactly. So did you go straight to the bedroom from the museum, or did you have to do more?
How do you be nonchalant after just going over and paying someone else's bill? Like, what do you say to Tori when you come back to the table?
So we're all impressed. Did it work on Tori?
So maybe your rules are playing against you if you're sticking to them.
Steve would be so disappointed in your behavior.
And now you're reaching out to us, which I think breaks your first rule of like be desireless because now you're asking a radio show to show how much you want to hang out.
Well, we're throwing every rule that we know out the window when we come back and call Tori for you and try to get her to agree to abide by the Tao of Bobby and give you one more chance with your second date update right after this. Hold on.
You know you're in a good place when you find yourself abandoning your entire belief system to score a date with a woman. I've abandoned my belief six times since I got to work today. Oh, wow. And it feels great.
Well, that's what Bobby says. He told us he used to live by a dating philosophy called the Tao of Steve, which if you didn't hear, it's basically three rules about demonstrating your value while also not coming across as desperate or too available.
so he stuck to those very strictly until he met tori yeah and said screw it tori's way too hot i need to know why she's not calling me back right now i mean he lasted four days until he started incessantly texting her exactly yeah with no response now bobby i'm assuming you don't want us to tell tori about your mantra and the rules that you follow unless you already told her did you no no no i didn't tell her my philosophy don't tell her my philosophy okay well that's
I think it's admirable that it is a plan because mine is just drink a lot and hope for the best. So, Bobby, you're in a better spot than a lot of people.
Peak sexuality is what I call it.
Yeah, we'll see.
Let's call Tori. We'll see what she has to say, why she's not calling you back. Hopefully she picks up. And I'm dialing her number right now. Here we go.
Hello? Hey, we're looking to speak with Tori. Can I ask who's calling? Yes, you can. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
I'm sorry. What's going on? We're doing a segment on our show called The Second Date Update where we're trying to help out one of our listeners get in touch with you after you already went on one date with him.
No, no. It's much more disgraceful. It's a radio thing.
Focus on the radio part. That's the cool bit of this because we're just trying to get some answers for Bobby about why you're not hanging out again or even talking to him at all.
Or at least had told the waitstaff to compliment you for him if he wasn't going to do it directly.
But a lot of times guys don't want to like seem too desperate in front of a girl and won't say the thing that they're feeling because it'll make them seem, you know, beta.
It's a complex that guys have.
But maybe he was just in his own head too much, and we should probably ask him about it because Bobby is waiting on the other line wanting to compliment you profusely.
I'm sorry, what? Yeah, he's been listening to this call. Bobby, you there? Hey.
A little smooth.
Okay, so... Basically... Bobby, wait, hold on. Are you sure you want to do this?
Yeah. That's the big issue. I think it's just catfished.
Okay. We're going with the double cat. Catfish me.
Something like that. Why would you add that? Why would you just say, I swear I would not lie to you? About anything. About anything.
I mean, honestly, Christina, he is taking it into account, and I think a lot of people would not be so patient with that.
Hey, hey, hey. Some guys like that, okay? I hate that word.
Okay. I know it's a joke, but let's not.
I'm sorry, but are we miracle workers? Because that is insane.
You're right.
Fine, Jeff.
Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure the ex is going to show up to that wedding. Yeah. I just hope the cats show up. I don't think anybody's showing up. I think he's going to host it at their house. At the ex's house.
You could have still been dating the ex. She's like, I don't care about that. Around number five is ex name calling. There you go. Yes.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Hey, welcome to the Second Date Podcast. Thank you so much for being here. We don't normally do this, but you are really special to us. So Jose is going to give out his personal phone number right now.
so you're on it more than your own phone texting basically i mean it's a better way to reach him that's all we're saying yes and don't forget we've got 45 more minutes a full show an hour long oh my god can you take that much if you want it go for it it's over at the brook and jeffrey main podcast feed but right now we're all about the second date so let's get it started second date update
The worst? Oh, my gosh.
Are you going to give us options? Because I have some ideas. Yeah.
Come on. It's just the smoky flavor is always good, right? Yeah.
There's no way, Jeff.
I mean, that's all you have to do is come on our show and you'll feel better by comparison.
What? I have so many questions.
Not even like the restaurant where my ex works.
Okay.
And not your ex. Not your ex. The one you actually took out. The new one.
That's cute.
How did you turn it from hiking to a date?
Hiking and cat people. A lot of time to talk on hikes. Yeah, that's true. So, I mean, you guys had a pretty good relationship then, probably before you actually moved into the romantic world, right?
Okay. I like how you said your house. That's good.
I mean, were you able to have, because you guys had been friends already, were you able to have like some flirty moments?
Do not say you did that.
All right, that's cute. I mean, it sounds like a setup to a great evening.
Right. I mean, cats notoriously don't come when you call them. Yeah. You know?
What? No way. You remembered?
How could you forget that? It was the whole date center. I mean, that makes you look so bad. You're a cat dad that doesn't remember where he left his cat.
Okay. Yeah, but just chalk it up, and you make a plan for the next time, right? Yeah.
No.
And it is bad. You didn't warn either woman. So you're going to show up unexpectedly with a date on your ex's door and Christina doesn't even know that's where she's going?
Yeah. Shocking.
Yeah, that's it.
You were all sitting on the couch together? Why did I imagine this just at a doorstep? You know what I mean? Like, say hi to the cat, then everybody parts.
You're inside.
Wait, a fight with who? You and the ex or what?
Why are you wanting to call this girl again? Christina doesn't want to have anything to do with you.
Doesn't say we do the impossible.
Can I just ask, when you dropped Christina off at her door, what was the last thing she said to you?
Oh.
This woman's going to be cussing. Ah!
Gosh.
Who knows, Jeff?
Oh, that's good.
Really?
Wait, I have a question. Have you had a chance to apologize to Christina?
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
No, he needs to apologize to both women, Jeffrey.
You can't bring a date to your ex's house, especially unannounced.
Who does that?
I hope your ex shows up at your house today, Jeff.
Joke's on you. All right.
I can't wait to hear her story. And the thing is, is that you actually sound like a really nice guy that just made dumb choices.
Yeah, but her perspective is going to be interesting. Yeah, perspective.
Or she doesn't just cuss at us and hang up.
Hi, Christina. How are you doing?
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, actually, that's a better response than I expected from you, to be honest. Yeah. I'm being serious.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, not just that. Like, you guys were friends in the hiking group, and then you had one date, and he knows he screwed it up. Yeah. Can I just hear the story? Like, I want to hear from your perspective. Like, you show up to his ex's house. Did you know that's where you were going?
What? Wait, how do you go from petting a cat to that?
Wait, what did Rhett do while this was happening?
I'm going to tell you, on the 32nd date, that would not be okay.
Yeah. I mean, he honestly sounds like a nice guy that made a dumb choice. I don't know. He lied to me too. Okay. It's not just that.
I don't know what my cat is either. I think we should probably just construct an argument with the ex and the name calling. What?
And hopefully apologize.
I don't get it either. I thought we'd really be concentrating on the name calling in the ex's house here.
What? Oh, between the eggs. Yeah. I mean, I could see that part. But, I mean, it's nine. It's not like you're going to have to do it for many years.
Some strategy.
Okay. Yeah, throw her a bone.
I'm proud of him.
Why even put this energy or go out with someone who thinks they're better than you? I mean, like, just move on. He's just adjusting.
Yeah, but why even call? I mean, here's the thing, Lucy. Like, it's not that you're beautiful.
Yeah, Brooke. Yeah, I understand that. Give her the respect that she's due. I understand that. She's gorgeous. The reason he's playing the game is because you go around acting like you're better than everybody else.
Wait, I think she's talking right now.
You reject him. Was that your last power move? She was scared he was going to say it first.
No.
Bro, you think she's texting you later? He's so good.
He's so good. I know Alexis wants to text you. I know.
I don't even need to see you. I'll text you.
Nathan, you son of a bitch. It's going to be her. Yeah, she's going to be. Yeah, for sure. She's going to give in. She's texting right now.
I don't think it's that hard when they're not that deep, Jeff. Yeah, she's right.
But why would you want to? That's my whole point. There's plenty of hot girls that have substance. Why would you want one without it?
Hey, you got out of paying dinner for her. I have Alexis right here.
Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, that's right. They can't resist you.
I mean, seriously. Thank you.
All right, we're back on your Monday with a brand new second date update for you. Yes. You know what you really love, why you're really here. We get you. It's Brick and Jeffrey in the morning. And we did try a new segment yesterday. Yes. New for you, not new for us. No, not for us. It's Blind Love Is, where two people go basically on a blind date live on our radio show. Mm-hmm.
And it was a mixed bag. I'd say 75% of listeners liked it. So, you know, we love the comments coming in. So literally let us know. This one is from Clayton. He wrote, I have to know two things. One, have you ever called someone who is actively listening to the Second Date Update live on the radio and they answered knowing exactly what was going on? Oh, wow.
Here is where we pull the curtain back a little bit. Those are prerecorded and they're not live on the radio because it takes forever for us to get a hold of these people.
Sometimes we go weeks before we can get the second person on the line. And the magic of editing, we take out all those phone calls. And all the ringing. And all the voicemails that we go to. Please don't stop listening. Okay, and Clayton also wants to know, has anyone ever met through your show? Like someone got rejected and then another viewer asked and got a hold of them.
So we don't ever give out people's phone numbers. But if you listen to Yesterday's Blind Love Is, those are two listeners who wrote in for different things and it didn't work out. We put them together. So it works for that.
No, that is quite a liability to us. We're not going to do that. So, hey, thanks for being here. Keep leaving those comments. If you're on the iHeartRadio app, go ahead and leave us a voice message as well. You can do that there. And, hey, let's get into the brand new Second Date Update right now.
I feel like you believed that for a long time, too. I really did.
Or for the fun of it, like meeting somebody new. Because they're bored, exactly. Having a good make-out session.
It's coming in hot there, Lucy. I like it. Okay.
Oh, I only heard the humility, so that's good.
Can I guess, I mean, not just his looks, but also his personality is probably not typically what you normally date? No, not really.
I like how she said he seemed normal and he's obviously abnormal because he's not going out.
Oh, absolutely. So how was it when you first met him? Like, what was that moment like?
Well, that's happy hour. Yeah. Okay.
All right. So what happened?
Can I just ask, it sounds like you're saying he's more confident because you still think he's not very attractive. Correct. Okay. I want to know, when you very first saw him, what was your reaction?
Okay.
Yeah, so she's the one chasing him. He's the upper hand. Yeah. Oh, okay.
Oh, you said cool. No, she thought cool.
You're excited to continue the date with him.
I don't think so. I think that he just maybe saw through that you weren't attracted to him and you were interested in surface things. Did you miss that I am way better looking than him?
I can't wait to talk to this guy. See, I don't feel like, like, why do you want to go out with him again? It's just like a game. I don't.
I'm going to tell you, I don't think you're going to like anything he says.
She decided the moment she saw him that she was not going to go out with him again. It's just that he isn't calling her back. It's driving her nuts.
It's a rough one, Jeff.
Yeah.
Sure.
It's so weird. It seems like she's so deep.
Yeah, why would he be confident?
Okay. You know what? I think that just the conversation we had made that happen. Yeah.
Okay.
And you actually sound sincere about that, which I appreciate.
No, don't add that. Let's just end it there.
He sounds like a confident, great guy.
Oh, yay. He's got a cute voice. Oh, wow. Brooke is coming on strong there. Trying to give Nate some compliments. Okay, Alexis?
Hi. Hey, Nate. Welcome to the show. Okay. Yeah, good morning.
A short date, I think. He ended it pretty short.
It's a power play. It sounds like.
What does that mean? Explain the type though.
So do you not like her then? Like, is that negative or positive? I can't tell.
It's a specific type of girl.
Sorry. I don't get it, though. Like, you want to keep the date short because you want to keep her attracted to you, or you want to keep the date short because you don't ever want to see her again?
So when you said you were going to meet up with a friend, that was a lie.
This is intense.
It's a specific type. You're right. It's not all hot girls. I mean, that's what it is.
Welcome to the Second Date Podcast. We got a brand new episode for you today.
She was joking, right? I don't know.
But why would you go on a radio show? Like, it's just crazy to me.
I have a solution. If you are in the cartel, text us right now. Is anybody here in trouble?
Just let us know. Yeah. Call in.
I mean, they're pretty straightforward people.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, we still don't know what's going on.
Do I need a safety word? I'm sure you're fine.
Start your test today for 1€ per month on shopify.de.
Please tell me no pets went missing in this latest date.
Because you're so good at conversation.
And you met Mark where?
That's awesome. Was it like one of those openings where it's like a party almost?
Cool.
Oh, I was thinking this was an evening thing. This is a daytime date.
I know. It's really cute.
I love it, dude. I mean, what's nice about it, too, is that you don't have any opportunities for somebody to bail. Right? Yeah.
I think it's what happens in dating. Like, even just hanging out with a friend. Like, you have so many different points of contact before the actual hangout where people can just flake on you.
You'd think that.
Uh-oh.
Oh, and was it that your goldfish tastes delicious?
What a disappointment.
I think it was just a setup so that he could tell you how he had great eyes. I mean, he did have nice eyes.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
She says you are amazing. I've been listening for about three days now and I absolutely love it.
That's a loaded question. Okay. Yeah.
It doesn't sound like your family was the victim. That's for sure. Yeah.
I don't think anyone ever thought Jonas brothers were bad boys. So you just like it because it's different conversation than normally happens on a first date.
I love it when people first find us because you have so much to binge. You have like years of our show. Get into that podcast right now. Yes.
Sounds interesting.
Yeah.
See, I instantly go to the taco truck.
Not that he was hungry, but he needed to find a bathroom.
Wait, you never saw him again? No.
That's why I'm calling you. How rude. Like, you are on a date with someone you spend that many hours and then you run away?
That I think you're going to love. It's a wild ride. It really is. But before we get to that, I do want to read a comment from Kitty Kita. Yeah! Kitty Kita. Yeah, she's got the cutest little picture. Okay, it says, Hi, when I first heard about you guys on TikTok, I thought, this sounds like a really good podcast. Okay, okay. So I started listening on Spotify, and all I can say is...
How is that the best case scenario?
But you text, you text, you call, you say I'm sorry.
So thank you for liking, for following. Remember, we've got Second Date merch up right now. The link is in the show notes. 100% of proceeds go to charity. And hey, sit back and enjoy today's brand new Second Date update.
Wait, play it again. It was too fast.
Oh, they have that? Huh. That's actually really smart.
I mean, the whole thing felt pretty natural from your description of it. I can't even think of why anyone would run away.
Have we considered the fact that he may not be able to read?
We're laughing and I'm going to feel really bad if that's actually true.
If he's illiterate, we can't air this. I would feel so bad, guys. I'm kidding.
We've all been there before. Moving to a new city can be hard.
You can't be picky when you're new in a city.
You've got to take what you get. They make picture books for a reason.
Okay.
You're on your bathroom ratings and reviews segment. On the John, on the 10s. That's what we do.
Oh, God, no.
But she really doesn't. Did you text her or something? Cause she didn't get your text. Like there was no explanation from you.
Oh, the family rumor, remember?
She wouldn't tell us about it.
Wait, hold up. This comes from a question that you asked her. You asked her one thing that she would never share on a first date.
She didn't say part time. It's not really a turn off.
I just thought there were some felons, you know?
Yeah, every family's got a felon.
I mean, mine does.
See?
Statistics show.
It's not necessarily a lifelong decision. It's like one bad choice to be a felon. A cartel is like you're making a commitment.
Yeah, because they usually don't have a good experience with us. Yeah, they usually drive people away.
Yeah. Why didn't you run before?
And then your escape route. Yeah. because they wouldn't see you outside the bookstore running. Cartels don't mess with bookstores. Come on.
The cartel's a big fan of the second date on the date.
Wait, isn't it your own family? What are you talking about, Megan? You're joking, right?
Well, he didn't know.
What are you talking about?
You put a hit on yourself.
What? I can't tell.
I'm getting angry. I want to hang out with her now. Yeah.
Don't say you're against the cartel. That's not a good idea.
Oh, man.
I mean, I'm not going to tell you anything, but you get really good presents from anybody. Like, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah. They have money.
I don't believe her.
The reason I'm keeping it is because I think she's joking the whole time. Nobody's getting her dry sense of humor. Okay.
But she did just move. She told him that she had to move.
Okay, can he ever meet your family?
Are you sure you're not being paranoid?
Saying no seems riskier than saying yes.
Oh, I'm sure that they launder it.
And all the rich and famous people need our help getting another date. It's true. Everybody in Hollywood knows.
Dude, this is going to kill me. Alexis, will you go out with us? I'll sign anything. But then you can't tell anyone. She can tell me.
What just happened is we didn't get any answers.
Yeah, be nice. You do it for the plot.
I mean, I feel like I was the originator of that slogan.
I've been doing that for decades, Alexis, just for the plot.
But they're such good stories, and they were good people, sort of. I feel like Chris gave me for the plot.
It's fun, and God, I want closure on this so bad.
It is kind of a baller move, if it's just a lie, to say that you have decided NDA. Because it's like, I can't tell you. Is it baller if you can't get a date, though?
Hey, you found it. The home of the second date update. It is Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And thanks for being here on the podcast. You know, I love all the comments we've been getting from all over the world. And I think this one really sums up what these second dates are. Nicola Huber in Brazil wrote, the call just gets worse and worse.
it's true it does it's like a guilty pleasure listening though you know we love when you comment we love when you subscribe even more so uh please do it and hey just sit back and enjoy the second date update it's brand new and it starts right now second date update a lot of so-called dating experts will tell you that it's good to bond over things that you both love
Why did you use dating experts in quotes? That is true.
That can bring you together.
Oh, Ethan.
Brooke.
I stopped bringing in salmon, okay?
Well, and it's probably a good opening, right? Like, for you to strike up a conversation.
Nothing harder than talking about bad-smelling food. Hot fish, Alexis. Stick with it.
That's good, bro. I don't know. I get worried about that. Non-crowded places mean bad food to me.
And you can actually talk. The whole staff is probably listening to every word you say in the conversation. It's dead quiet. Yes, a first date just came in. I love sitting next to a first date and Ian's dropping in.
What's the cameras deal? Explain that.
To be fair, they also usually don't work. Or fake. I work in a restaurant. They're all fake.
Jeff, security cams? No, he's talking about the promotional pictures.
He's buying pretty big in it. It looks like you like it.
Did you tell her the thing about how you hated security cameras?
You go and see before you go.
So were you able to bond over more stuff you hate at dinner or what?
Okay.
Oh, sweet. That's awesome. You're both active people.
Yeah.
He likes to run from the authorities after they catch him on the security cams.
Okay. And we kind of really leaned into that with you. Yeah.
Okay. All right.
I'm guessing you're figuring you're reading the room right, you know, like she's into it?
Sweet. Good.
I don't know. I think it's fair. I think it could have been one of those moments where it's like you got the devil and the angel on your shoulder. And then the devil's like, do it. It'll be fun. And the angel's like, no, you have a meeting in the morning. Don't.
Right. What did you do with that 30 seconds to make her change her mind?
Ring doorbells? Uh-oh. No, no, that's right. No, he doesn't like the security camera. Oh, that's right.
Okay, good. That's good. That's positive. That is a good thing.
Three things that really go together well.
Yes. He was fine with that. He just wasn't fine with her not calling.
Maybe she's in space right now.
We didn't ask what she did for a living. I know a biologist who has to track, like, 60 miles into the wilderness to follow some arctic foxes.
Yeah, you're saying during an entire dinner date you didn't ask?
Can I just add real quick? Because you sound like a really private guy. I think it's really cool that you're going out on a limb and calling us for help. I mean, I think it means a lot.
Yeah. Yeah. Are you sure? Are we sure? We're absolutely sure. We talked to Ethan.
Really?
Maybe he's a hard guy to read, you know, like how he's feeling.
I mean, we even actually applauded him for doing it. He's going out on a limb just because he likes you so much.
That's a positive.
Yeah, and we were even debating in studio whether or not you really had work the next morning or you just made that up as an excuse.
Okay.
Both things can be true. We didn't think about that part. You're like, wait, she actually has a job? That's the problem.
Wait, you can't laugh through it because I can't always understand what you're saying.
I just want to hear the moment. What happened?
No, he was joking. No.
What?
Did he explain why? Why did he want an NDA?
And why is he going to bring his dad up and tell you stuff about his dad that you'd have to sign an NDA for?
And he heard everything. Seriously. Oh, my God.
Oh, that's not a good start, Ethan. That's weird. All the other women I bring back love to sign it.
I mean, let's reword that a little bit, Ethan.
Especially the criminal ones.
Wait, aren't you dying of curiosity of who his dad is? I feel like I'd sign it just to find out.
Why would anyone want to hear that, Jeff?
What you got in your fanny pack, Phil?
Yeah.
Really? Why unfair? Like what part?
And it's a good gastrointestinal system if you can still process it at his age.
Okay, I didn't mean for you to go into it, Phil. I was a no.
We got it.
Like the most interesting man in the world.
X! Oh, no!
Discount.
And you may need that right now. Listen, if you surround yourself with friends that are young, you look younger. Yeah, dude.
You were brutal. There's too many jokes.
Hey, we go viral all the time here. It'll only take him two days to find it. Yeah.
Kick it off your week with a brand new second date update. It just makes everything better. Yeah. Hey, welcome to the podcast. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And I'm just going to say today, imagine being on a date and having a waiter point out the one thing you're most insecure about. Oh no.
Oh, is that what it is for you? Please don't look at me anymore. Oh, it's exactly what happened to one of our poor listeners. And that's why we have him on the phone today. We're going to help him try to recover from it. Dude. But before we get to the podcast, let's go over some of these comments that we got from our wonderful, wonderful listeners.
We'll stay here all day.
Oh, hey. Hey.
All right. Hey, thanks for being here. And again, keep the comments coming at like, subscribe and share and enjoy the brand new second date update.
There's no filter, sweetheart. It's just life.
Don't use a filter, Jeff.
FaceTime is, you mean Facetune, I think is actually what you mean. Yeah, he does. Whatever. It's alright.
Why are you looking at me, Jose? I don't know.
Yeah, I can hear you.
I'm surprised you didn't go instantly to the weather. Phil, we're making fun of your age.
Can you take us off speakerphone, Phil?
Good job, man. You can't teach old dogs new tricks.
Mandy. Okay.
And I'm guessing you didn't meet Mandy on the app.
Oh, you did?
Oh, yeah.
I like Phil Spicy. Yeah. That's good. We like it.
Seafood's good. So it's a dinner date. And what were you feeling beforehand? Were you nervous? Excited?
Congratulations on getting back out there.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
We actually got your back, Phil. We got your back.
It's really cute.
That's good. That's cute, bro. Were you guys able to connect over other things?
Oh, I bet that was a big difference.
Okay. Okay. And hers?
Okay, that does show her age a little bit. But hey, like we said, you were honest. You knew what she was getting into.
Uh-oh.
How? What happened?
You just start making out and really freak the waiter out. That's the option.
Did you get any read on her reaction to that moment?
We're acting like he's 85 years old. He doesn't sound that old. You've got to be in like your 50s or something, right? Your 60s.
But he has a number. He called a radio station. He's cool enough to listen to our show. We're going to call her.
Well, there you go. Maybe by the end of this, you'll have your whole finger full of nice things. You're a good sport, brother.
Oh, what a bummer.
You guys, stop it. He is not that old, eh? I mean, he's rusty because he was divorced. That's right. I mean, the one thing you may not understand is that there's a lot of, like, ghosting in dating now. Yeah.
Well, it happens all the time. He does listen to our show. And you shouldn't take it personally because it's not a reflection of who you are or what you can offer in a relationship.
It shouldn't be because she, again, knows how old you are when you meet on a dating app.
Hey, Mandy. Hi. Good morning, Mandy.
Fancy seafood date.
Yeah, I mean, remember, this is a guy who's back in the dating world. He's lured in some new things.
What do you mean you guess? It's genuine. Wasn't he nice on the date?
Okay, so he was older than you would normally date. Basically. Okay. All right.
So he ordered milk and had a man fanny pack.
That was really embarrassing for him.
Oh, really? Woo us. I want to woo. Your singing voice is really good.
Get to woman, bro.
All right. Okay. He sounds so fun. Go on one date. Come on.
It won't be a wedding.
Come on, do it for Sienna. He's a romantic at heart. What a guy. I am.
Book solid.
Third make-out, Sag. I say third time on this show. Call back. It's going to be like 50 first dates all over again.
I think she's laughing. Not crying, right?
I really thought we were going to get her right there. I thought that she was like, okay, I'll give him a chance.
He just has to, like, run into her again. Guys, I think we're done. No. Don't quit. I'm just telling you. I mean, Alexis, are you with me?
I tried. I gave it my best.
I did not say that.
I think he's a sweet guy. I do. I just think... Just stop there. Okay.
Okay, I guess you're welcome. Good work, Brooke.
I'd like to say after twice, we're just going to call it. No. Yeah.
All right, you're going to start your week with a second date. We love that. Thank you so much for being here. And I love all of the comments still coming in about our great merch for a cause. Of course, second date update. What would you call it? Swag edition. Yeah. Yeah. Ken's wrote on our second date page, I am totally going to ask for a hoodie for my birthday. They're so cute.
Love this podcast. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Again, if you want the show merch, 100% of proceeds online. Go to LA Wildfire Relief Efforts. Thanks to Convoy of Hope. We're not making any money from it. No. It's all for a good cause. So the link to that merch is in the show notes. And today we got a little special second date, don't we? Yeah. It's the first time we've ever done this. Yeah.
It's the re-date. Yes. So sit back and enjoy.
I think tens of thousands. Yeah.
I mean, seriously.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you don't mean it the other time? Like, what does that mean?
Oh, I don't believe you.
Oh. That would be a second date, Zach.
And I'm kind of upset. She said no to you on our radio show, and then you ran into her in person, and then she said yes?
Well, it's probably just she had a lot of bad experiences in that couple of months. So she's like, I guess I'll try that guy.
And why did she not like you? Is that a bad thing? She said no, right? Yeah. He can recap.
Oh, my God. This is like Alexis. How many times is this woman going to be in a wedding? Yeah.
It tends to happen that way.
Hey, I know you. Was it that friendly? I'd be shocked.
Oh! Wow. You said that to her? I don't know. I think she may like it.
What did she say back?
Wait, what? Did you not have to work? Yeah. It's his own business, Alexis. He makes his own rules. I like that the bar closed halfway through the party.
So she's got the need to prove you wrong, probably. Was it like super drunk make-out, or did you guys actually connect?
Top or bottom? I wouldn't interpret a drunk makeout as someone's interested in me, I guess.
Especially in any wedding scenario. Yes. And after they've turned me down. Yeah.
Okay. What gave you those vibes?
Okay. All right. Okay. But now you're here.
Dude, I am just dying to talk to her because she is going to be like, what? You are calling me again? She's going to know. Yeah, she's going to know. She doesn't.
Yeah. Oh, no? Okay, bye. Could you answer differently?
I mean, what's the strategy here?
Yeah, I doubt anyone saves it. Good point.
Who was Yogi Berra? Was he like a sports guy or something?
No, that's Yogi Berra.
That's what he said. I think Yogi Berra is like, yeah, a baseball player, right?
I thought we could call it Groundhog's Day. Oh, Yogi Berra. Maybe. Go straight for the guy. No one's going to understand that.
Yeah, I mean, very clearly.
Okay, there's no date in any of this story. Yeah, there's really not. Let's remember that.
No, God no, Jess. Do you know how many dudes I've made out with and I didn't even know their names?
I'm not bragging, I'm just saying. That's not real life what you're saying.
No, that's nice. I think that's a good way to interpret it. And if not, you're a chill guy.
I'll make up with uptight guy, whatever guy. I mean, I'm married now, so I can't. He's also a chill guy, though.
This is so awkward for us.
It's your favorite morning show.
It's like a horror movie. Maybe we should just start to ask for a review of how the first time was. I mean, it's not you.
It's me.
It was a huge mistake. Wait, are you talking about the make-out session was a mistake? Yeah, obviously. Are you sure?
Are you shocked? Like, what were you thinking the first moment you saw Zach?
So this doesn't happen again. Who are you booking for the bar? Wasn't there, like, just a little bit of you that was excited to see him?
Is that the part of the lineup you want to be in?
That's a little thick, Jeff. Before that, I was just being drunk at weddings. Yeah. I mean, I would think that you keep running into each other. There's a tiny bit of you that's obviously attracted to him. Why not go on one real date just to give it a shot? What's the worst that could happen? I mean, you've already drunkenly made out with him.
Dating and date. One date. We're just asking for one date. That's it. One chance. One moment. Come on.
Oh, yeah. Good point. We didn't ask for that.
It's much better than the sober karaoke mobile DJ.
Or just get a job. Why is no one saying go to work? Work sucks. It's just a universal rule in life.
Till next month.
Is that why you called us in the beginning, Carly? Because we were going to cover the check.
No.
Tuesday is way too specific to be a coincidence, Carly.
Alexis, she doesn't do any money. She has no money of her own.
She's looking at her phone. There it is. Oh, look at that. She said yes.
No, don't spam the podcast either.
I'm going to send you the link to my rental clothes. No, Brooke, please. Oh, God. Oh, God.
Don't send that to me, Jeff.
I don't want it.
Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And you know, we get all the credit for all these second dates going viral, for them charting on the Top Comedy podcast.
But really, it's our listeners and their terrible dating decisions that we have to thank. Yes. And the people who ghost people. Yes. They are helping us out. Thank you.
Yes.
And don't forget, we do have 45 more minutes of this. We've got a full show over on the Brooke and Jeffrey main feed. If you'd like it, follow that one as well. And let's get into your second date.
Oh, yeah. I mean, you do look forward to it. That is not helpful for people who really overthink that text, Jeff.
You just leave it as I took your fork. No, you don't need to mention that.
How's it going? But first, Carly, we want to hear the good part.
Okay.
Why would you call it a hey, neighbor?
Is that a positive?
No, no, it's a yay, obviously. Okay. Why would you not do one through ten?
I want to play.
Oh, that's great. And a great place to meet people. Yeah. That's just awesome. Unless you have bad form. I never want someone to see me in there. No, but even then, I'm sure someone would be like, try to help you. Yeah, you guys love to show you how to do all that. We reach around and just show you how to do it.
Is it bad that I'm already thinking if you got married, it would have to all be golf theme now. Oh, yeah.
Also, don't waste a Friday night. That's a good call. It's a whole Chapel Roan song about it. Don't waste a weekend night on a guy.
So, wait, I'm sorry. Were you guys just at dinner? Is that what you did on Tuesday?
Okay, cool.
No, I'm just trying to set the scene.
How was the kiss? Yeah.
Oh, look, she's smiling. She's saying it. That's sweet.
Or just read it? Well, it's sassy today.
I don't want to hear it.
Oh, okay. How did you jump from that was a fun night to a short on rent?
Wait, didn't he pay for dinner?
Like, when's your rent due? This one, mine's due. Well, they were homeless. I think it's good to be vulnerable with people, but I'm wondering if he read it as basically an ask for money.
He set you money, huh? Sounds like a catch.
Yeah, that's what I'm like. He set you money and then stopped talking to you? Because that's kind of strange.
Do you think he regrets the money he sent? Like, maybe he sent it when he was feeling bad, and then after he thought about it, he's like, ah, man, that's kind of a weird. That was his money for the date, and then he ran out?
Yeah. Do you want to emphasize the Y more, Carly? Is Carly exotic?
Yeah. She shared a lot.
Which is really kind of him.
He's the worst loan shark ever. Never mind. I mean, maybe it's just because she didn't send him a formal thank you.
Yeah. You don't know, but you also made your rent, right? So that's good news.
I'm going to tell you, if a guy asked me to help pay his rent, I probably wouldn't call him back. But she didn't ask. She didn't ask.
Just friendly. Just on a first-name basis, you know, Jeff.
Okay. When has anybody ever known?
I get it. Cute and fun.
Okay. Can you give us something here to tell her?
Wait, we're going to say that?
Okay. Any chance you sent her money? Just a guess.
I guess we're all acting surprised now.
How much? Wow. So wait, I have a question. Why did you send her money?
And when you're describing it, too, like, you're not shaming her. You're not making her feel bad.
Yeah. Okay, but good luck with that. Like, bye. Maybe she was just telling you that so that... So that you could run her finances, yeah. Like before, how she already said she couldn't pay rent.
Yeah, and that's really short on rent. Yeah.
It definitely doesn't feel like she's a scam artist or anything when we talk to her.
Oh, is that how it works? I feel like it's pretty obvious.
No, she didn't call for that, Jeff.
What? Is that what you said, Carly? You're not working?
Oh, that's what I wanted in the very beginning.
That's what I asked her to do.
Carly, I thought you were trying to be vulnerable with this guy.
Carly, that is crazy.
What? Yes, you do.
Jeff, everyone chips in for birthday parties except for you. It's the same thing when we go to any group thing. And I have to say, Jeff, you have to pay.
God, do not back this up. Carly, this is not good for you. I just don't even want rent. Go on like a sugar daddy site, not a normal dating site.
I mean, can we just give Danielle? How much was that gift card worth? Can we reimburse her for the Jamba Juice?
Yeah. Danielle, that was the most appropriate response ever.
Yeah.
Do you know what we never heard is whether or not his ex was excited about the gift card she got.
That is not what we're concentrating on here, Jeff.
No one is doing this. No one is picking that up, Jeff.
I just still can't believe he was baffled when she called him a lowlife and couldn't put it together.
Hey, you found us. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning on our second date podcast. Not like it's that hard to find these days since we're charting on the top comedy charts every week on Spotify. You're welcome.
Oh, you're the one that's doing it. That's how we're getting there.
All right. Hey, thanks for being here. And don't forget, we do have 45 more minutes of this painful show. If you can endure it over on our main feed, just go to Brooke and Jeffrey for that one. But right now, let's get to what you came for. That's the second date.
Wow. It doesn't make any sense still.
No, I was in my early 20s. But they make you take a picture and send it in every time you... Okay, I'm not going to go down this road again.
how's it going guys okay your date was a good surprise or you were the bad surprise yeah we want to tell us about this woman that you met where you met her i thought it was a good surprise well we matched online okay and what's her name danielle danielle okay so before we find out what she looks like what did her dating profile look like oh my gosh she was gorgeous oh
The right lighting? What, man? Oh, my God, I'm dead.
Oh, so you were even doubting it before you met her.
Yeah, malls. Oh, okay. That's very old school.
Cool that you were there, but I want to know about the moment when you saw her for the first time in real life, because that's the whole thing, right? Yeah, it's all about the pictures. You were shocked. Why were you shocked?
She gives you two lawyers, 800 numbers.
Okay. Wow. Okay, so you were happily surprised. Like she looked better than her photos.
Oh, and you like that.
Oh, good for you.
That's not a joke, my friend. Wait, what? That is a serious fear unlocked.
The joke is it's 21%.
She probably didn't get it.
You got to call her Yogurt Girl.
Well, there you go.
Oh. Wait, what did it say after low lives? Her name?
I don't know if that's how you check.
And here's the thing. You have to know before we call her. It's not going to be good if she's calling you a low life. Yeah, bro.
Maybe it's something she misunderstood. I don't know.
He said she was TV commercial pretty. That's right.
Okay, that was just a joke he made, Jeffrey.
See ya. You don't hear the term lowlife anymore. I also like the see ya.
Did we hear, did you respond to her?
You didn't, like, like it or anything? Thumbs up. That's the point. He emphasizes it.
I don't know, because she's not going to want to talk to us because of that text.
Good morning. Hello.
I'm a little nervous to talk to you, Danielle, to be honest.
Yeah. I think that that's clear. I think he's just totally confused as to why. Yes.
Those are your personal things? Yeah.
What? What? How did he go through your purse, your wallet? What do you mean?
Oh, while you were waiting, you were like not in the, I mean, maybe lobby or something.
Okay.
Wait, now you're accusing him of stealing something from your bag?
Oh, like a gift card?
Oh, what? Was it loose or was it in your wallet?
It's so weird to have such a specific thing be stolen. Like if he was going to steal from you, it'd be like, I don't know, a credit card or something. And why would he call us to get you on the phone?
That's easy.
Well, that's now your chance to defend yourself. I need to hear this.
Which, I mean, you need to tell him. Well, first of all, Kendrick, what were you doing in my purse?
You were right. Kendrick, dude. You were wrong. What the hell, man? Why would you go through her wallet and steal from her? And then wonder why she's not.
You don't understand. Oh, my God.
Oh, okay. Your ex? How would the excuse be badder? I don't get how you got called a lowlife and you couldn't connect this.
What? Why do you just buy your own damn Jamba Juice? Why do you got to steal it?
So you, what? You stole the gift card?
Hope you're doing well. Okay, I don't know that we asked for all of this.
Yeah, you sound like a pickpocket or something.
She is a perfect woman who belongs on a yogurt commercial on television. She relies on government officials.
She's awesome.
I don't like that he's memorizing the info on it.
It's like a small portion of the second week. Yeah, Noah, now's your time to come in and act cool.
That was some emotional maturity right there.
Sure.
She had her heart set on it.
You know how that can feel.
There you go. I want to go to open mic with you.
Dude, that was sexy. That was hot.
I like this girl.
You did it. That was so hard for me.
No, I never throw a guy under the table. I want to tell them how much they are light. Your voice gets any higher. Yeah. I think it's great.
Oh, my God. I want an update from them. I mean, I'll be really cool about it, but I really want an update from them. Absolutely. You're like, I want an update or not.
I thought they were so cute.
Listen, I'm not listening to any of y'all, okay? I live by my own rules, and I am myself. I can't help it. I can't be anybody else, Jeff. It's just who I am.
Just a better version of you. There is no cool or chill inside this body.
Block. Block.
Yeah, it doesn't sound like it right now, Jeff. Totally. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
All right, it's time for a brand new second date podcast. Thanks for being here with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And I'm just going to say one of our listeners today made a very bold request during the second date. And yes, I am still offended by it. Okay, okay, I am. But I did agree to it anyway.
Good.
All right, you're going to hear it in just a second. But first, we got some great comments from our amazing listeners.
I love that. Some day you'll get old, Skylar, and then you could just listen in the morning. That's the nice thing about podcasts.
We wake up early. Yeah, we're early. I mean, you think it's just a podcast, but we also do a morning radio show. Yeah. We're here early, early.
Because it's probably somebody's phone number.
I don't think he's going to take you up on that offer. I'm just curious if he does different voices for each of us.
There you go.
All right, we're going to get to what you really came for, and that's a brand new second date. It's starting right now.
That's so cool. Thank you.
Oh, no.
I mean, it is such a double-edged sword, right? You want to be part of the show, but then you don't.
April. Okay. Strong start. You almost forgot it. I appreciate that.
No, you're good. You're good, man.
We had that moment, though.
How did you strike up conversation with her?
Oh, that's interesting. I mean, that's a cool thing. Like, you guys match up. Your vibes are similar, right?
So, like, karaoke, right? Like, what is the other option?
A baseball game? A baseball game? Because of the seventh inning stretch?
It's just the connection between baseball and singing.
I've never heard anyone make that connection. Like, do you go that hard with Take Me Out to the Ball Game that you consider it a performance?
A baseball game is a great date. It's just, like, if she didn't know that's where she was going, did you tell her?
Superstitious, like for your team?
He even said it was a bad idea.
Did you guys make it to the seventh inning stretch to finally get to the singing? That's a long time.
Okay. Did you have any fun?
So you just want to redo.
Oh, someone listens to the show a lot. I'm going to stop you right there, sir. I do not listen to rules.
Seriously. God, I wouldn't go out with him. Does that help you?
God, that guy's the worst.
I am not the one that ruins dates for people.
That was not a scream.
That is my disappointed voice.
When it comes to chill, I am the chillest, okay? You don't want Brooke to make you sound cool. Don't ask that. I hype Alexis up all the time, and look how cool people think she is. I don't think people think I'm cool.
This is April.
Yeah, that seems like a little much, Jeffrey. Oh. There's more than one of you.
I'd say hi, April, but I don't know if I'm allowed to. Just I don't know how not to be myself.
Hey, sup, April? She said sup, April. Oh, God.
Oh, my God. I'm sorry.
Okay, well, just go to the podcast and you can get all of it together.
No, it's problem solving, Alexis.
Noah's cool. He's got a lot of options. And he's just like wondering why you're not calling him back.
Wait, hold on. You guys just called me to tell me that Noah has other options?
Yeah, he's just chill, you know. He doesn't really care one way or the other.
Wait, I think it was all bad. No, the question is, when did you start thinking it was bad?
Yeah, he knows. I mean, we made it clear that he messed that up.
Yeah, did he attempt to help you understand the game?
I mean, not really.
Girl, you're serving steins in a German bar. Like, I mean... I'm just saying, like, pot, kettle, like... Brooke, she probably makes more than I do here.
Yeah, Brooke, shut your mouth.
I think being a server is a great job, but she's expecting him to do all these big, great things. Multiple jobs. What are you doing to plan for your future?
I just, like, I hate when people do that.
Tell her you're busy.
Tell her you don't want to date.
I think he sounds like a nice guy.
But you did want it that night.
Yeah, we're going to pretend. Brooke! We're imagining. Harper.
Yeah. It does look bad. Gives her the ick, huh?
Yeah, we got all the time in the world.
He didn't have time to. No.
Oh, sweetie. Oh, God. That hurt worse than everything that was said.
Okay.
Oh my God. Harsh. I mean, honestly, I think she just doesn't actually want a boyfriend.
You know, like everybody's saying that she's like looking, she says she's looking for something, but she found it. Like what? She just wants to be wanted.
I got my D&D club on Friday and Saturday night, so I can't hang out.
But I make tons of money.
Really hard to get. Can we not define all women based on her? I mean, just. Too late.
Jackson, defend yourself.
Before we get into today's brand new second date update, we just got to read some of the amazing comments that our listeners are leaving. Novalio wrote, I just looked at the merch and it's so pretty. They said, I just bought it and cannot wait to wear it. I love the design and I'm currently in my hoodie era. All right. Okay. So thank you so much. Sorry for letting you spend all your money.
But remember, 100% of proceeds are going to a great cause. That is the LA Wildfire Relief Foundation. Thanks to, of course, Convoy of Hope, a great, great organization. We don't get a penny from this. No. Nothing.
Alexis is a little drunk this morning.
And Rosetta wrote, whoa, the merch is truly gorgeous. Tons of really cute emojis. I got to get myself some more money to buy it. Save up. All right. It will be offered only for a limited time. And remember, you can get it. Just use the link in the show notes. And all right, let's get to your brand new second date.
That's crazy. That's a huge jump.
It's like the pandemic like super. Yeah.
Oh. Okay. At least you get to pick his, you know. I think I could make him a really good one. I mean, to be honest.
Wait, what?
Dude, you're in the minority now. IRL.
Hey, Jordy. So where'd you meet this woman?
It's an Italian game, playing at a German bar, but whatever. Yeah, whatever.
Oh.
I'm sure that's happened to you, and you just don't.
Oh, yeah.
Can I ask real quick, was there an indication that she was interested in you? Because cute waitresses get hit on all the time.
Harper, you're so smiley. I mean, Harper is a hot name.
Good response. I like that. I'm already using that.
Dude, if we dial this in, it's our loser line. Oh. We are on the loser line? That'd be awesome.
So what did you do?
Don't want to be elitist by being able to say quiche.
Especially if you can be self-deprecating about it. You know what I mean? Like, it could almost even turn into, like, your inside joke together. Yeah.
Are you sure you didn't read that wrong, too?
Like where, I don't know, maybe work got crazy or there's a family emergency or something.
I mean, Jeffrey's not online.
We only like the online ones.
Yeah.
How did he say it? Kiki somehow?
I like that Quickie Loran.
Yeah, she's the one that said she wanted to.
I don't even know how you mispronounce du jour. Yeah, how do you... You have a food so much you can't mispronounce it, Brooke.
Oh, my God. I bet she's saying no 50 times a day. Like every other table. It's so annoying. But that's why you're so special is that she said yes to you and you guys had a great date. And she went out and she said she liked it.
Hopefully she thinks that already. You know what? In the five minutes we've spent with you, totally will vouch for you.
You're welcome.
Hi, good morning. Hi, Harper.
She's very confused. You just don't want to come in too hot, Jeff.
See?
Ringing any bells?
You remember Jordy? Oh, okay.
Is it just something where the schedules aren't aligning?
What? Too much effort. What do you mean?
Like he's what you were looking for.
OK, so what changed?
Maybe he is. Like in my mind, you're a waitress. So he's probably just trying to give you options because it's probably hard to align schedules. Like he probably figures you work on the weekends.
I don't know that it does make sense to me. He's not a loser. Like, you liked him. You liked everything about him. You said that he checked all your boxes, basically.
A big box.
What would you want his response to be? When you say, hey, I can't wait to see you again, what should he have written back to you?
That feels kind of like a game.
He was so busy. It's like we had to call him so many times to be able to do this.
Oh.
I mean, that's what Jordy wanted. He wanted to know. He did want honesty.
I'm sorry. My perfect guy shouldn't have all the time in the world for me.
Promise rings? A hoodie is different than a promise ring. Oh, my God.
All right, hold on.
Ooh, okay, I like this game.
That's my motto.
Men love that.
I agree. I thought this would be like Alexis going out with Cristiano Ronaldo and just not realizing he plays soccer and is like, you're not my type. Oh, yeah.
I still have my shirt off, by the way.
You guys don't hide it very well.
It's that easy, gentlemen, to get her obsessed with you. Buy our merch.
Yeah, that's important. Because I had someone go, oh, I don't want a hoodie. And I go, no, no, no.
We got t-shirts for summer. Are you not listening to us?
What was Eric eating? Does that withdraw you to him?
God, look at that guy's chicken.
Nice.
Did you kiss him or did he kiss you or anything like romantic happen?
But you felt the vibe.
Just close your ears when you tell us so you don't hear it.
Well, some guys love that and some guys don't. It's a personality thing.
I keep forgetting he may not even know about the OnlyFans.
Yeah, but it feels like we're all on the same page.
Or do we lie and say, that's not her?
If he already knows.
You have to tell him.
I don't know how that even happens. How do you stop drinking? That was a personal comment.
I was too. You seemed so, like, nice. That's how good cheaters are, Brooke. I know.
He admitted it, though.
You think he went home and was honest with his girlfriend suddenly? I doubt it, Jeff.
Yeah.
Missed opportunity. You can still do it, Jeff. I got faith in you. Do not admire to be this dude.
You think of nothing but people who are being ghosted. Yep, that's right. That's right. That's why we're going to do a very special Valentine's Day edition of your Second Date Update. It's quite a treat. We love you. Thank you so much for being here. Please comment, subscribe, and just sit back and enjoy the show.
A lot of pressure.
Can't imagine why.
Oh, that's good. That's good. You're not lying on a top bunk of a frat house. Can you bring a girl back to your frat?
Whatever anti-game, that's him. Yeah.
Sorry. A little far. Sorry. You brought it up.
Oh, okay. Okay.
Right. Because you could totally lose momentum if you wait too long. You got to strike while it's hot.
Oh, yeah. Well, as you start to book things and everything's sold out.
It's just us, ladies. Yeah. And a whole room full of other people. Man, did you call the right show for that to blow up in your face?
Sorry. Sorry. We're just making fun of Jeffrey for his past. Not you, man. Not you.
Oh, yeah. Got to stay on theme. Okay. That makes sense. Sounds good.
Okay.
You will follow it up with a cake to wash it down.
Oh, wait, what does that mean?
You are not diabetic. No, I'm just saying.
The girl's left quick like an animal. Dude, that's scary. That's so scary. I'd be so scared on a date with someone, too, and you don't know what's happening.
Well, she doesn't even know you're diabetic. Yeah, I'd be so scared.
I'm just going to go hot tip. If you're having a seizure, you usually can't write at the same time.
Oh, my God. What a first date experience.
Right.
I'm glad you're okay.
Okay. I mean, obviously, not like your fault, out of your control, but also really traumatizing for her too, you know?
I think she would have more empathy than that. That would be terrible. You could drink plenty of other things.
Okay, Jeff, get over the night in the frat house.
No, honestly, if this girl isn't calling you back because it freaked her out, that is somewhat understandable. But once I feel like she talks to you, she's really going to understand the situation and just have a lot of empathy for you. I can't imagine her not giving you another chance.
That is not adding up. Who knows? Who knows? Maybe it's not the hospital or the diabetes. Maybe you had bad breath and you didn't realize it. You know what I mean?
Thanks for asking, Jen. Usually people aren't that polite. We're very well.
It was. Oh, good point, Jen.
No, just tell her.
Oh, my God. Ten guesses. He's just going to tell you right now.
Hey. Very memorable night.
Dude, it sounds like that night was crazy. Yeah.
Wait, really? Are you saying that he's in a relationship, you think?
Maybe there was another Reese having a different diabetic. No, or it's like a job application where my past boss is really my best friend.
Ooh.
Yeah. Well, I think that this is something he actually needs to hear.
Well, we are annoying.
Are you serious? Dude, why are you not coming in and saying, I'm sorry, there's a misunderstanding?
Oh, no!
Are you in a relationship?
You just said you broke up with your ex and you were heartbroken and you're finally back in the dating pool. Yes.
Jen, I kind of feel like his girlfriend might know, though.
Jeff! You were lying.
Jen, I'm sorry.
That was sarcasm, Jeff. Dude, Reese, why don't you just break up with your girlfriend? I don't understand this.
Somebody would have called an ambulance. Okay. So are you worried that your girlfriend's going to hear this, or does she know?
I mean, now you need to maybe tell him what are your hobbies and interests because he has no idea.
Oh, no, she's from France.
You could have saved so much time and headache in your life if you would have just gone out a year and a half ago. Yeah, you guys could have.
Oh, see, that's what you need to turn it around. Come on, Dustin.
I'm always like, touch emoji. I'm hoping after this, he doesn't have any more matches. Like, this is it.
Hey!
God, that is so... That's my worst nightmare. I mean, it would be a turn-off, obviously.
I mean, sometimes it's all about timing. Maybe 18 months ago, he would have thought, oh, I just got on the dating apps. It's going to be awesome. And then now he's two years in. He's like, wait, it's not.
How dare you even bring that up, Jeffrey?
Why would you even put that in his head if he's listening?
Just delete their number. That's even easier.
Hey, before we get to your brand new second date update today, it's Brooke and Jeffrey, and you did find the second date update podcast. We got to go back because we asked y'all on Wednesday for the weirdest, most ridiculous question you've ever been asked on a first date, and I love some of the responses. Yes.
I mean, isn't it obvious that it's a pinky?
Maybe we'll do that again next week. Thanks, Matthew. Oh, great. Now we're going to be a bunch of creepy guys.
Basically, we just normalized your weird question. Yeah, let us know your favorite toe, everybody. All right. We're all weird. It's time to start your Friday with a brand new second date update. And this one definitely has a new method for dating that hopefully can eliminate all the swiping and the endless chat. So we'll see if it works. It starts right now.
No, Jeff. Yes. No, ultimatums are not ever good.
Stick to your wife. Like, what is happening? That's the ultimatum.
Hey! You sound like such a nice guy for being such a badass ultimatum maker.
Okay. I mean, I can see how that could happen.
What is right away to you? What does that mean?
That's actually kind of a rule of thumb. I kind of like that rule. Like it's respecting everybody's time.
Okay. Okay, and did you turn it into an in-person date pretty quickly?
And how was it in person?
Yes, obviously. That's the only part I want to know. I'm sorry, I want to know the boring part.
Like, wait. Say it again. Hold on. No, do you mean, like, she colored her hair a different color?
That was the crazy part.
Okay. What happened?
Huh. Weird. She didn't want to talk about it? No, it feels like she either lied on her bio or you're talking to a different person than what you're thinking.
She was a collegiate athlete. She's more athletic than you, Jeff.
Sometimes there's just easier props to put on there. And I will say, there is a phenomenon right now that if you aren't a die-hard fan of something, you're not allowed to say that you like it.
Which is a long time when you're moving so quick, you know? You had a pacing going and it's dead.
No ultimatums, Jeff.
Not bad, though. Just different. Yeah.
That's a really good point, Jeff.
God, I really want this to work out for you, Dustin. Just because you have put in the time and the effort and you seem like a good guy.
Jeff, you don't have to tell everybody everything.
I am. I am. I think this is going to be a simple miscommunication or something, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, I guess she said, I mean, he said six days. So maybe that's not blowing someone off to you. Maybe that's not enough time.
Oh, my gosh. I forgot about that one, huh? Oh, my gosh.
You should text him and go out with him again.
Oh, yeah. He said that you made a joke, that you were joking because you had just been chatting with him. It wasn't a joke. It really was a long time. Oh, my God. I'm confused. So you hadn't talked to Dustin in a year and a half on an app at all is what you're saying.
He said that? Yeah. But he added that you were super cute. It's not like it was a disappointment. I think that's important to know.
Tell her. Jeff, tell her. She doesn't know how to tell him, and now she doesn't even have to.
But listen, he was never going to tell her that it was the ex's scent.
I mean, so technically we set them up for this. You know what I mean, Carly? Like you got to give them a little bit of grace.
Why do I feel like I shouldn't have heard that question?
Let's hope you change the scent. Let's hope. Again, that's our fault. We're piling on. Yes. Okay?
Oh, wait. I don't think men with women's perfume is real hot.
Okay. All fair in love and sense.
Yeah, you need to ask a different set.
I think we did a good job. Yeah, I'm thrilled for you. We really backed Ethan here on this one.
So that's actually a big win for everybody. Can't come back from that one.
You don't say that part out loud, man. You buy the perfume and then you just leave it there. And I understand he didn't know that she was on the phone, but even to us. Let's just keep it to ourselves. Yeah.
I will say, I bet he would have told her. Just because in the 60 seconds we talked to him, he let it out.
Okay, we hear you. Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You found the second date, and we've got a brand new one for you in just a second. But first, we need to address something. We have made BevanWeber4471 very jealous.
Let's be honest. The only reason any guy ever knows the smell of a perfume is because of some woman he dated at some point.
Because, of course, the podcast is everywhere. It's on Spotify. It's on Apple Podcasts. It's on iHeartRadio. And it's also on YouTube.
And Bevan wrote, it looks like the Spotify viewers are more important than the YouTube viewers.
Because we don't as often read our YouTube comments. Yeah. Out loud. We read them, though, every day, like on YouTube. I would like to say that you are all like my children, and I love you just the same. Differently, but just the same.
All right. Hey, thank you. Wherever you're listening, please like, subscribe, and share. It is so, so wonderful to see. We really, truly appreciate it. Totally. And Bevan, hey, shout out to you. All right? Yeah. Let's get this second date started.
Oh, he loves them. Are you kidding me?
Oh, man. When he pulls out that Michael Jordan rookie card. Oh, my gosh. If only it wasn't rated a three. Oh, it's only a three?
Actually, I think it's a one because he wrote his initials on it when he was seven years old. No, that's the worst rating you've ever received.
Because it doesn't matter. I mean, I can bend those edges as much as... You're raising the value at that point.
Oh, she liked it. It's a good collection.
Okay. And was whatever he collects part of his profile?
Oh, it wasn't listed. Okay.
Okay. This is like a nice little surprise for you. You don't say it with a smile on your face. Yeah. That nope.
Burnt grilled cheese. That's really cute.
Well, I mean, it's a cute line and it's an easy way to then transition to let me cook you something mid.
So wait, though, because it's like fast food. Was that cool with you, or was that a disappointment?
I think people being polite is probably pretty well received.
You're a bad boy, though, Jeff. He actually does that to me when I'm kind of in the studio, honestly. Like, learn to open the door for someone.
Okay, so this is all sounding great. Was there something, like you said, the collection thing, when did that come into play?
Rubber duck?
That's the item that he collects. Is he a Jeep owner? So he's one of those people who puts them on. Oh, that's a great idea. And rubber ducks are huge right now. There is every type of rubber duck ever. Really? Yeah.
Which makes it less weird?
Was that a joke?
Okay, that's a good joke. If he's serious, I'm almost going to test him. Everyone's trying not to judge. Don't make fun of him.
Okay, okay.
We totally support it. That's really funny.
Okay.
But the rubber ducks were real?
Oh, okay. So why is this a big part of the date? Like, he mentioned it.
I do.
I am obviously biased, but I think snorting is quite endearing. I like it too, but I'm also a weird laugh.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Was it a good kiss? You know, people have weird things. I thought so. I have a guy friend who won't date women depending on their thumb size. And, like, he thinks thumbs are really weird. They, like, creep him out for some reason.
I'm just saying that some people have weird it. Don't call it weird. It's normal thumbs.
Well, and if it's that, then he's not the guy for you.
Anything's possible.
Oh! Don't say it like that. She's adorable.
I mean, if you're on this show, I think most people would say that that's the case.
You're supposed to hype our listeners up. Carly, you're amazing, and you deserve a second date.
Also, we don't know
Hi, Ethan. Hey, good morning. There's a bunch of us here.
I love when people ask that. It's just such a natural transition.
No, I mean, honestly, from your response, it sounds like maybe you were planning on calling Carly back and going out with her again.
Oh, good. Okay. That is so cute to hear. So you really liked her?
That's cute. She was actually worried about that.
You bought her perfume?
That's cute. Like a travel size or full size bottle?
I mean, it could be worse. He could have bought it because it's what his mom smells like. Oh, that does help.
My mind did not even go there.
Okay. Okay. Maybe, maybe there could be a different scent though for Carly. You know, like. Yes. Like my guy, my husband is a scent guy. He loves scents. Like you just maybe need to explore a different scent.
Dude, that is disturbing. You do not want people to see.
Yeah, but maybe you're a more powerful woman and he'll start associating it with you instead of her. Don't the scents on your body have different effects too? Yeah, that's true.
I love you, Georgina. That is amazing.
We can take it that way. I love it, Jeff. Sure.
Randall, this is a real one. Georgina is a real one. Please don't pass up this chance.
Dude, seriously, thank God for Georgina. It was so stressful. I've got to save this guy. I've got to save this guy.
Dude, I have never been more thankful for one of our listeners.
I mean, by him, I'm sure he's going to fall in love with her. There's no question on that. But, I mean, the whole thing is hopefully she saves him from getting scammed out of tons of money.
Yeah, nasally. Thank you, Jeff.
Randall, if you're listening, please DM Alexis instead.
Hey, you're here. You found the Second Date Podcast, and we love that. Thank you so much. So happy you're here. You know what? If you want us to invade more of your life, we're on YouTube. Yeah, we are. We got that with Brooke and Jeffrey. Text in your address. I can show up. Jose will come to your house and give you hugs.
And also, there's 45 more minutes of this dumb content that apparently you like, which we're really grateful for. You can go over the main feed for the full show, Brooke and Jeffrey. But right now, let's get into this relationship stuff.
The heart. The heart.
Why do I feel like it's a euphemism every time you say it, Jeff? It is not.
I don't know.
I don't know when you're being serious or not.
He's doing it right now.
Why did you say was? Isn't it still?
Oh, my God. Were you so nervous?
Oh.
Yeah, what was it like when you land and you finally get to see each other in person?
Oh, buddy. Oh, man. Oh, man. I think that that is like the cruelest thing that's going on right now. And I hear it happen to so many people, actually.
Oh, God.
Online or in person? Where did we meet?
How? They could be real, but are they employed by someone else? Yeah, they're all real.
Now I understand Jeff's intro. Oh, I'm real nervous.
Okay. So you went on a date with Georgina, but you're in love with a woman from the Philippines.
Alan, you're a lover. You're a true romantic over here. You may fall in love with everyone you see, and that's okay.
Usually people fall off nothing too deep with, like, favorite movie.
Oh, okay. So if Georgina wants to pursue a relationship with you, then you're going to just totally leave the Filipino girl. But is she not texting you back or why do you need us? Yeah.
Oh, we can jump in before things go wrong. No, before she doesn't text back. It's preventative care.
But we shouldn't push if she says no because that's the universe, right?
I'm just trying to figure out how to get your heart back. I'm trying to act like the universe, and I feel like the universe just goes with the flow, Jeff.
A giant gas plant.
Wait, what?
Didn't even show up.
Who he sure is real.
No way. You're not even better yet, brother. Hold on, hold on. You went on one date last night with Georgina, right? Isn't her name Georgina?
And Georgina is going to decide whether or not you propose to a woman in the Philippines. Oh, my God.
And also don't tell Georgina maybe about the backup plan. He's really an all or nothing type of guy, Alexis, and very honest.
Yeah, but don't you think we should?
You're not a star. You're like the moon of Uranus. I know it.
You're a satellite.
You're a black hole right now.
Because we heard last night you went on a really great date.
Would you say it was great? She took that word out. I know. That's what I'm trying to have here.
This all fits his character. Yeah, so you were feeling really good.
Okay, that's good. That must make you feel great.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God. I bet your heart just sunk.
You didn't wish him luck on his proposal. That's rude.
Okay. So, I mean, like, up until that very last sentence, you were planning on seeing him again?
Oh, that's our answer.
That's our answer. Can we ignore the last sentence? Can we just forget that happened? Yeah, it doesn't even matter.
Randall!
Not invisible, maybe a man.
Jeffrey, Randall, he is a hopeful, truly a heartfelt guy, and he's just getting taken advantage of, and that is, like, so sad.
That he's giving money to a woman in the Philippines that probably doesn't exist?
Georgina. Are you kidding me?
me i can hear you you need to say something romantic to georgina tell her why you tried this why you finally went out on a limb and risk that's because his friend made him so don't okay georgina in all honesty before our date i was wholeheartedly in love with the young lady from the philippines but after meeting you there's just something about you i thought we had a connection
Yeah.
He was just trying something new. Dating's hard these days. And he liked you and he didn't know how to keep it going. And it wasn't the smartest move. I think he is finally understanding that.
Oh, okay. I can totally do online dating. I would just never do marriage after I did it. Exactly. Because I would have never dated anybody long enough.
Come on Jenna don't hate the player hate the game. Let's go one more day Yeah, we're the game I'll go on the date
This hurt my brain. I don't feel like it anymore.
Yeah. No. I mean, we literally just we added more drama.
And there was no need for it.
Yeah. You know what I mean? That's right, Jose. Be yourself. Yeah. If you're a nice dude, be a nice dude.
Dude, but I really don't want to get an update from them that on the third date, she decided there was no romantic connection.
I thought you meant, okay.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Every time I hear about my dad, it's, oh, he's a killer. He's just straight evil.
Yeah, there's too many choices for people. Yeah.
I go to the cereal aisle and it feels overwhelming with what one I should choose.
Oh, yeah. Jeff's dream.
Hey, Evan. I'm sorry, man. He sounds like you're going through it with this online dating stuff.
Wow.
That's a lot. That's a lot for some. Is there one in particular that you really like, or are we just going to call 10 girls? Yeah.
Is that your bar?
Nothing bad happened. I mean, is that your bar? Like, you had a good enough date that nothing bad happened, so that's why you want to call her? Mm-hmm.
Wait, so you're not calling us because someone's not calling you back or isn't interested?
Thanks for being on the Second Date Podcast. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And man, today's second date is brand new. It's about this guy who has a new plan to stop being friend-zoned.
Huh? Wait, so why? Why would we be calling her just to tell her that?
That's going to make her mourning.
You're getting friend-zoned is what it sounds like.
That's the problem I mean you do know this could backfire right?
Can you tell us anything about Jenna that would make you feel like this is going to work on her? Like, what does she like? What'd you do?
We'll just say that. It was interesting. We tried. We tried for him.
Here's my thing. Like, we tell her this statement, and then what, Jeff? Like, we tell her, hey, so-and-so isn't into you. Yeah, how do we follow up that conversation?
We're going to find out if we are successful or not here in just a second. But first, some comments from our lovely, lovely listeners.
Okay, so we won't do a lot of the talking.
Okay, like the bad boy Evan is. Oh. who's not interested but had time to call the radio, wait on hold, wind around, and sit and listen. Alexis, okay. No, he's not going to say hello. He's going to say sup.
For entertainment purposes, I'm in.
Yeah, because it's not an idea any of us have ever had.
Oh, I like that spin.
I think you could have used the quote about, like, how someone who does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result is the definition of insanity. True.
Hey, Jenna. Good morning.
We're kind of surprised we're calling you, too, for this segment because it doesn't actually fit. Yeah.
That's how we care. Cling to your relationships right now because you could be in the same boat as our listener. Let's get it started. It's our second date update.
He doesn't not like you. He just doesn't like you.
What? Confused.
He's got a lot of plaque in the arteries.
Nobody does that anymore. Did he write a note and circle yes or no? Do you like me?
Makes him feel like he wants it more. Yeah. You know, I'm just going to say that.
Uh-oh, what is it going to be?
Evan, what are you doing, dude?
I don't even understand where he's trying to go here.
I thought you just said you were attracted to her because there was no romantic connection for you.
Your message, I think, is getting a little lost.
The thing that switches is you telling her that there's no romantic connection and that you weren't sure if you liked her or not. That's the switch. You can turn that back. You can be honest about where you stand.
Every time I hear about my dad, it's, oh, he's a killer. He's just straight evil.
Now we're going to tell her how she's going to feel on a future date.
I mean, you have nothing else to lose at this point, Evan. Why don't you just tell her the truth?
Yeah. Pretty bad.
Um, He's got a lot of hardware in there now, but he's since had some surgery. He's recovering pretty smoothly, so we're hoping he'll be walking here soon. The problem is that my son was with him whenever he fell. My husband is not a very hide-your-emotions kind of guy.
He's very loud, and he screamed. I know he was in pain, but he screamed really loud.
Okay.
So my son, on the other hand, he's very bubbly and happy. And he was yelling for me saying that daddy hurt his leg. He was very scared. And so we ran up there. I got my husband settled. I took him to the ER and got him taken care of. But since the accident, my son has been very scared of where the accident happens. Okay. In the woods.
My husband and son both have ADD and I have found independently that the woods and hiking is like the place where they calm down.
Yeah, so now I'm kind of worried because now he's very scared of the woods. And I want to help him to overcome that fear so we can go hiking and to go camping and stuff again. Like I said, we're in West Virginia, so we have woods everywhere.
Okay.
Um, I think he had a little bit of time where he did kind of, kind of had a pity party for a little bit. And I don't mean that mean, but I mean, it's, it stinks.
But, but since like this past weekend, um, he's been hopping on one leg around. He's been going back to work. He's been doing things.
Okay.
Yeah.
No, no. I'm very cool with that. All right.
Hey. Hey, Dr. John. Thanks for taking my call.
I'm doing good. How are you?
Um, so my question is how can I help my son overcome his fear of the woods after he witnessed his dad in a hiking accident?
Um, so my husband and son were hiking on my parents' farm and my husband slipped and fell and broke his ankle and dislocated it pretty badly.
Hi, guys. Happy Valentine's Day.
I am calling. Me and my husband are on baby step two, and I'm having a conflict with the principles that you guys teach, I think, where it's either the order or I'm trying to get rid of a stupid car. And we have kind of like a... substantial amount of money to us that's about to come, and I really want to make sure that I apply it to the situation the best way that I possibly can.
So we have about $18,000 total. And then do you want me to break all of it down?
Okay, so we have a credit card that has $178 balance left, which I've been, that's my current project. And then we have a care credit account that has two payments of $111 left on it. We have a dental loan situation that's $1,948 left. We have a Discover card at $730. And then our biggest loan is a debt consolidation loan, which the stupid car is the collateral on, which is $15,535.
It's actually money that we had. It was uninvested. sitting in an account for the past year and a half that we kind of forgot existed.
That seems obvious to me, but the thing that catches me is that that $15,535 loan, the car that's tied up into it is worth about $10,000. And then we also, we have one 19-month-old, and then next month we are having our son. And we have two cars. We have the one that's tied up in this, which is stupid. It's a Mustang convertible. And then we have a smart car.
And both of these cars are uniquely stupid to have two car seats in to the point where it's almost unsafe to drive.
Actually, no. I got a really cool job, and so I thought I could get a really cool car.
Yeah, and the job wasn't that great. Mm-hmm.
Yes. And this money seems to be, like, the exact right amount. And I've been praying about it. Like, what do I do? Oh, I see.
Right. If I take that money and if I can sell the car, then I can get out of that. And that's also, like, that payment is more than our house payment. It's, like, $556 a month. And we only pay, like, $500 a month on our house.
So it would also eliminate our biggest expenses.
Um, so last year we made like $32,000, but my husband just had a job loss last year, which is why that was so low. And he just started a new career. So I'm not entirely sure what to expect.
Okay. All right, all right.
