Second Date Update: Love On The Rocks

In a paper called, quote, Chickens Prefer Beautiful Humans. Right. This was actually the title of the paper. They all discovered that much like humans, chickens are attracted to symmetrical faces. Got it. We're talking medical miracles.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

1012.845

No, I mean, the thing about Rachel, she sounds like someone who's very organized and maybe very different from you and could really bring some other aspects to your life that you don't have right now.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

1041.333

Give her a second chance. On the second date, she knows that already. She doesn't have a second note card. Do you, Rachel?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

1050.617

Look at that. Maybe you could just change a few things. She's funny. She's funny, Jack.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

1066.319

So are you just saying yes? Is that what you're saying, Jack?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

1074.105

Okay. She still wants you to remember that.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

127.984

OK, we just need to apologize right now for taking over your TikTok for you page. Yeah. Sorry, not sorry. My God. Yes. All the old ones are going viral, but the new ones are so much better. OK, I'm so glad you found them. Follow like whatever you're supposed to do on these podcasts and just sit back and listen.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

159.243

Like ever? Ever.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

188.503

I'm just curious because I've never been on dating apps, right? Because I met my husband, like, before they were huge. Oh, yeah. Like, what is it like for your first time?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

266.434

So I feel like a weekend date is a big commitment date. I don't know. Like using your weekend for that.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

292.749

And what was that like for you? Because it's like your first dating app.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

303.697

What the? It's her first dating app. It's the first guy she's met on this. I would be so nervous if I were you. Just because, God, that's a lot.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

318.726

What was the actual date like?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

333.998

Did your ex come up a lot? Because, I mean, you did mention to us that you were together for a really, really long time.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

375.366

It could also come across as rude, though. Like, you're also assuming that that's all that he's looking for, you know? That's all true, yeah.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

389.954

So we finished the first nap. Is it time? He could have been insulted by that.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

415.64

Oh, honey. I'm glad.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

429.752

That's hard. You probably were still emotional then if you're just like just now not crying, talking about him.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

440.684

Yeah, it always enhances. Do you think that that's why Jack isn't calling you back?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

468.67

The side hug? Like I do with all my friends? Yeah. Like a one-armed hug.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

580.752

Cry about her ex.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

583.336

Still, yeah.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

599.78

And also, it's like, you know, this is new to you. There's a lot of options out there that you haven't even explored. I knew this was coming. I mean, we'll see.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

613.015

That's how you get over people, Jeff.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

625.273

She hasn't even really dated in her adult life. I mean, you've had the same boyfriend since you were in college, you know, like just want you to make up for lost time. But OK, let's call Jack.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

655.066

hello hey is this jack yeah this is jack is this hey jack my name is jeff from the radio show brooke and jeffrey in the morning hello oh that's that's my co-host brooke who just jumped in with a weird voice no it just sounded like how he was hitting on us when he answered the phone so i was like returning the favor jack oh yeah i just think it's interesting because like it was an unknown number right were you expecting someone else on the phone jack

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

706.827

Well, we heard a lot of good things about you, so that's a good start.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

724.055

Um, was she attracted to her? Did you feel like you guys had some chemistry?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

745.17

It's okay. I mean, she told us some stuff about, like, her ex and maybe how she talked about that on the date.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

755.795

And a good listener. She said you're a great listener.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

771.298

And that wasn't good to you?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

803.858

Okay. What was on the index card?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

807.921

Who has index cards? Was it a recipe from her grandma or something?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

867.459

So it wasn't necessarily her boundaries. It was the way they were presented. Is that what you're saying?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

882.502

And especially talking about on the first date like that, you know, maybe there's a more organic way to work in your boundaries.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

900.72

She's not respecting your boundary in that way.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

905.481

Jack.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: First Time Tinderer

930.351

Yeah. That's a hot pitch right there. I liked it.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Plant Me A Kiss

1298.628

All the greatest changes have happened when a couple of people said, this sucks, let's do something about it.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Plant Me A Kiss

190.261

What? Hey, I'm down.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Plant Me A Kiss

193.161

Hey, welcome to the second date update, as it was known as the Dwarf update. That's still English, dude. The Dwarf update, the second date.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Plant Me A Kiss

204.624

Are you all very turned on?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Plant Me A Kiss

212.049

Okay, sorry, ladies. You know what?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Plant Me A Kiss

79.976

All the greatest changes have happened when a couple of people said, this sucks, let's do something about it.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Give Him The Golden

1027.108

Yeah.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Give Him The Golden

1088.716

Oh, my God, she farted. Oh, girl.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Give Him The Golden

1095.379

Oh, man. We're in public. Do we have a gift card? I don't know what's going on. One of those breweries where you can bring your dog? Yeah, brewery. Oh, wow.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Give Him The Golden

1108.165

Oh.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Give Him The Golden

164.636

Yeah. Oh my gosh.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Give Him The Golden

337.198

How hard does she push against somebody's face while she's making out? I don't know. It's not good.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Give Him The Golden

529.773

Oh, my God. By my house, too? Mine is, too. It's so sketchy. It's so weird. I know what you're talking about.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

1039.591

OK, Rachel, look at that. We've reached this middle ground and now it's a good time to ask, would you two be willing to go out on one more date? And we'll pay for it. Give me a Y. Give me an E. Give me an S. I missed the chance.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

1080.865

That's a yes from Brett and a yes from Rachel. That means successful second date update, guys.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

1089.879

He got a piece of it. He got a piece of it. He got a R-E-S-T rest of it.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

150.234

This is embarrassing. I just discovered I actually had no idea what the bases were.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

156.659

You know, like when you go out on a date and you end up getting to first base with this person?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

161.463

I always thought that involved a lot more than the internet says. Because they say first base is just kissing.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

169.43

Kissing is an intentional walk in my playbook. Ha ha! but maybe i need to put my bases up on my instagram it's young jeffrey that means everyone gets a kiss bro oh but uh you know if reverse cowgirl is between first and second it's not you're gonna want to hear what third base is for me oh please don't slide that is like Check it on my Insta. What? It's young Jeff.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

193.254

I only bring it up because one of our listeners, Brett, emailed us saying he got to second base before the date even really started.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

214.134

I'll have you over for a party soon, and we can go over everything. But tell us about the girl that you want us to call today. What's her name?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

221.7

Rachel, all right.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

247.074

So what did you end up doing for your date?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

288.718

Yeah, absolutely. What did Rachel think of her first hockey game? She loved it, actually.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

383.669

Okay. That doesn't sound too harmful.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

397.875

Good thing we practiced before.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

435.887

Exactly. It's because they stopped selling beer in the third period.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

440.812

Yeah. Well, I almost followed, but it went to overtime.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

488.944

You text her. You missed out.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

509.23

All right. We're going to play a song. We're going to come back. We'll call Rachel for you and try and get you your second date update. All right, Brett? Yeah, sounds great. All right, hold on, man.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

520.882

We just got done talking to Brett about his first date the other night at a hockey game with a woman named Rachel. And there was a lot going on there, but we probably need to circle back to his email where he mentioned that before the game, they had some drinks where he ended up getting to second base. It reminds me of a sports chant that I do all the time. He got a piece of it.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

548.703

He got a piece of it. We need the R-E-S-T rest of it. Is that appropriate for the scenario?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

563.556

I'd never take you to a hockey game, that's for sure.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

571.204

She's a B. Give me an I. I kind of like that one.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

578.813

Let's just talk to Brett. Brett, we're about to call Rachel here, man. Is there anything that we missed from your first date that we need to highlight? Nope. That's it.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

593.418

I mean, that's a good point. That could be the main issue that she ended up leaving and Brett decided to stay to see how things played out with his home team.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

612.606

Probably. Yeah. Okay. I was going to help you score a home run, but that's all right. If you don't want to.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

625.772

All right. Well, baby steps. We'll get there. Let's just dial her phone number and see what she has to say. All right. Here we go. I'm good.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

640.134

Hey, is this Rachel?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

643.876

Hey, Rachel, my name's Jeff from the morning show Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning on the radio.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

652.46

Are you a hockey fan by chance?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

660.125

All right.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

664.272

Depending on how the rest of this call goes, maybe.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

667.854

Because we heard that you went on a date recently with one of our listeners named Brett to a hockey game.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

679.361

Okay. Yeah. What we're doing right now is called a second date update because after the hockey game, Brett's been having a hard time getting in touch with you, and he's not 100% sure of the reason why.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

711.831

From what we heard, it was a really good game and a big night for everybody. I know that he did mention that you left early before it ended, and I understand that. I'm an old person at heart. I know you've got to beat the traffic. You don't want to get stuck.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

834.35

Maybe he didn't even realize that he was being that intense.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

841.812

Well, let's ask him directly because, Rachel, I got to tell you, on the other line, we have a little surprise for you. Give me a B. No. Give me an R. Well, Brett's there.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

908.102

And I think a lot of other people, bread aside, are in the same exact boat. Like when you're at the sports game, you're in sports mode. And nothing else matters or counts.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

933.694

At least he didn't do anything too over the line, like paint his face or something.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

943.458

Oh, no. Okay, well, that backfired.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Hockey Fan Gets Hosed

996.797

Ha.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

1091.724

Sean Stiller? Ethan Stiller. Oh, that's right.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

204.892

I'm really thankful after that slogan of the day. Okay, since we're spreading hate, everyone, let's go around the room and say, who do you hate? Brooke? No. Oh.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

221.218

You go first.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

273.425

That's awesome. What a great start. Sense of humor is so important. For sure.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

280.209

Yeah, they're like, did you just tell a joke? No. Ew. Good. Gross. How dare you laugh.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

328.986

See, I was taking some sort of FBI watch list too.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

372.125

You're talking to millions of people daily in one privacy. That's funny.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

390.953

I imagine he puts up security cameras to look at their security cameras.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

491.515

What were you talking about? You were like, hey, I have 13 security cameras in my house, by the way.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

503.588

So maybe that's what he said. Hey, by the way, I have no security cameras. There's no traces of me anywhere.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

570.516

Oh, she could be a streamer like me. She could do one of those marathon streams where she doesn't get off until she gets a certain amount of subs. That seems highly likely. Yes. Okay, probably not.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

781.479

Wait a minute. It's unbelievable what you're about to say?

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

829.915

Only celebrities do that.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

835.119

Thanks for explaining it, actually.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Second Date Update: Claus For Concern

935.745

And he's clearly a wanted man. Subject A through Z have all of my NDAs.

I'd rather know about you. Yeah. Although I probably would talk about chandelier. But deeper conversations are more meaningful than the surface level. Like, how's the weather?

You know that feeling of paralysis is often rooted in fear?

When we're faced with a mountain of problems, our brains go into survival mode, triggering a stress response that can make even simple tasks feel impossible.

Sounds good.

Exactly. By engaging her prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for decision making, Mel essentially overrides the amygdala, which is our brain's fear center.

What's that?
