Speaker 1: you today. It's Brook and Jeffrey. This is the official
Speaker 1: podcast and oh yeah, tell us we need to apologize
Speaker 1: for yesterday's awkward audio. Oh yeah, so listen, there was
Speaker 1: a little switch on one of the mics. We are
Speaker 1: not engineers. Okay, it was flipped on. We didn't realize. Yep,
Speaker 1: we thought it sounded okay in our headphones. It's a
Speaker 1: long story about how the board works. You don't need
Speaker 1: to know that. But first we have some comments blame.
Speaker 2: Can we blame a random person?
Speaker 1: Let's blame Ashton?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, your guys's comments were really funny about it, though.
Speaker 3: We got sounds like everyone in the studio is in
Speaker 3: an empty closet.
Speaker 1: Are y'all in a wind tunnel?
Speaker 3: Did they cut the budget and force y'all to make
Speaker 3: this episode in a closet?
Speaker 1: All stream more?
Speaker 3: This sounds like you're in the shower recording the show.
Speaker 3: By the way, Jeff, don't let the soap fall down. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then a few more sec I think you're all
Speaker 3: the bathroom together. I bet Jeff's happy about that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, if you missed yesterday's awkward Tuesday you go
Speaker 1: back and listen the second part. We fixed it, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's just part Yeah, we'd never claimed to be perfect,
Speaker 1: so I believe this is somewhat error free. This new
Speaker 1: episode the second Dyeah.
Speaker 3: Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning second date updates.
Speaker 5: If you're single, where is the number one hot place
Speaker 5: to meet people? I mean, sure you could meet someone
Speaker 5: doing the pretzel at a pilates class or eating a
Speaker 5: pretzel at a baseball game.
Speaker 1: I actually eat the pretzels at the plates class.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but what if you could go somewhere where you
Speaker 5: get the best value for a pretzel plus a date
Speaker 5: along with it?
Speaker 1: Is the pretzel the most important part.
Speaker 5: It is the crux of this entire segment because that
Speaker 5: place exists, and our listener Amy says it was the
Speaker 5: furthest thing from her mind that should end up meeting
Speaker 5: a guy there, But it happened. So Amy, we got
Speaker 5: to know where was this?
Speaker 4: We actually met at the Cosco food court.
Speaker 5: Eh oh yeah, yeah, he's got a million things, plus
Speaker 5: apparently some cute guys on the menu too. Tell us
Speaker 5: the story. What happened to Amy?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I was hanging out in the food court
Speaker 6: because I was getting my tires done.
Speaker 4: At the tires apparently.
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you're just putting out the vibes, you know.
Speaker 6: I was just like on my phone watching reels on instad,
Speaker 6: kind of laughing to myself, and then this guy kind
Speaker 6: of like comes up behind me and he's like, oh,
Speaker 6: you look like you're having been over here.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, and he's sits across from me.
Speaker 1: And then you finally look up and realize he's cute
Speaker 1: and not annoyed.
Speaker 6: Well stay with me.
Speaker 7: Oh, I realized he's.
Speaker 4: Like ten fifteen years younger than me.
Speaker 1: Younger. Oh, you don't sound very old.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he just got out of middle school and he
Speaker 5: came up to shoot a shot.
Speaker 4: Well it's not even the worst part.
Speaker 6: The worst part is that he was wearing a cape.
Speaker 5: Oh my cape is yeah, I am.
Speaker 1: Pure is this guy? Are we talking early twenties or
Speaker 1: are we talking literally teens?
Speaker 6: Yeah, very early twenties.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, so the cape is obviously a turn on.
Speaker 5: Keep going on.
Speaker 1: He's the Costco crusader.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I had to ask turn about he's a LARPer.
Speaker 5: Okay, live action role play. So he had a plastic
Speaker 5: sword with him.
Speaker 1: I mean, if listeners don't know it's like where people
Speaker 1: dress up in like medieval stuff and then they sword
Speaker 1: fight in parks. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I feel like that was pretty self explanatory.
Speaker 1: But some people don't know it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Okay, so this LARPer sits down across from you and
Speaker 5: you are super turned on what happens next?
Speaker 6: Well, I'm trying to get rid of him because.
Speaker 4: Like I'm just trying to wait for my tired.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, So he he's like, do you want to
Speaker 1: go somewhere to eat?
Speaker 6: I'll pay, And I'm like no, I'm already had my
Speaker 6: hot dog.
Speaker 4: Like I'm just I'm good.
Speaker 1: Do the confidence on this guy, Yeah, Kate to do this.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 5: That is very bold of him to like not only
Speaker 5: just ask you out right there as soon as he
Speaker 5: met you, he wanted to like take you to a
Speaker 5: different place and eat somewhere else.
Speaker 1: Did he even take his cape off for it?
Speaker 6: Well, and then I noticed I think he was like
Speaker 6: kind of looking at his friends that were in the
Speaker 6: corner that.
Speaker 4: Also looked like marper people.
Speaker 2: There's just a group of elves in the aisle eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so maybe his friends put him up to this.
Speaker 1: Is that what you're thinking at that point?
Speaker 6: Maybe yeah, and then you know he leaves finally.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, why are you telling us about him if
Speaker 1: the date isn't with him?
Speaker 5: Or is this the guy?
Speaker 6: So I'm still in the food court and like fifteen
Speaker 6: twenty minutes later, this guy in a business suit sits
Speaker 6: diagonal to me.
Speaker 4: And then we start to talk. You know, it's just
Speaker 4: like normal small palk Costco talk.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I told him about the LARPer guy. He thought that
Speaker 4: was funny.
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm LARPing right now. This isn't nice suit.
Speaker 1: Business cosplay business LARPing.
Speaker 5: So now you're getting hit on. It sounds like a
Speaker 5: second time, like a different dude at the same Costco
Speaker 5: food quarter. Are you getting a better vibe from this guy?
Speaker 6: Yes, definitely getting a better vibe. Like there was like
Speaker 6: this old lady kind of at the table next to us,
Speaker 6: and she fills her coke, her diet coke, and then
Speaker 6: he like got up right away and like got a
Speaker 6: bunch of napkins.
Speaker 4: And like helped her clean it up.
Speaker 2: Nice.
Speaker 6: I just remember that was like really nice, right, that
Speaker 6: is nice.
Speaker 5: And he took his attention to from you to focus
Speaker 5: on a different woman. Some might say, but.
Speaker 1: You know, okay, you'd be jealous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a girl gets up from Jess date. Excuse me,
Speaker 2: I'm over here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think she can handle it herself.
Speaker 1: So did you actually connect with this guy on a
Speaker 1: romantic glove well in the Costco food court.
Speaker 6: So I get a text that my tires already.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, I should go, but it was really.
Speaker 6: Nice to meet you. And then he gives me his
Speaker 6: business card. He's like, I'd love to take you out
Speaker 6: some time, get to know you more.
Speaker 2: Business card say what do you do for a living?
Speaker 1: It's kind of weird, Like the business card.
Speaker 2: He's flexing, flexing.
Speaker 1: Not many people carrying him anymore.
Speaker 5: Does it just say businessman?
Speaker 1: Call me for business entrepreneur. I got a business card
Speaker 1: once from a guy that and then his business it
Speaker 1: said he was a love smuggler. Oh yeah, his name
Speaker 1: was Zultrand.
Speaker 2: Oh I thought you married.
Speaker 5: Weird watching, but this dude that you meant Costco sounds legit.
Speaker 5: Does he have a name.
Speaker 4: Yeah, his name is Kai.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, it's better than Zultran for sure.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But he did always send me the
Speaker 1: longitude and the latitude of where he was going to
Speaker 1: be a Bernie man.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I want to hear about this more.
Speaker 5: I know the less I like it. What's happened since
Speaker 5: Costco with Kai? Have you been talking to him?
Speaker 6: Yes? So we texted a little bit like a few
Speaker 6: days after and then like the texting kind of stopped
Speaker 6: and that was like a week and a half ago.
Speaker 5: Oh, it's like so.
Speaker 6: Rare to meet someone in person, So I just want
Speaker 6: to know, like what's going on, Like, did he meet
Speaker 6: someone else?
Speaker 4: Was he like got into me?
Speaker 5: Well, apparently everybody's meeting everybody at this Costco food court,
Speaker 5: So is there a chance Kai went back there and
Speaker 5: found a new woman? Oh no, I mean at Costco,
Speaker 5: you get everything in bulk, So why not include dates
Speaker 5: in that they got four girlfriends?
Speaker 1: There's not that many single people at Costo.
Speaker 2: Like then, LARPer.
Speaker 1: Kid was definitely on his mom's membership, nothing wrong with you.
Speaker 2: Know, and he was in a group two.
Speaker 5: All right, Well let's find out when we come back.
Speaker 5: We'll call Kai the business man and find out what
Speaker 5: business he's been up to that's stopping him from going

Speaker 5: We'll do it with your second date update right after this.
Speaker 4: Thank your hold.
Speaker 1: On Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.
Speaker 5: An interesting place to meet someone is at the Costco
Speaker 5: food court. That's what happened to our listener, Amy. She
Speaker 5: met not just one guy there, but two while waiting
Speaker 5: for her tires to be done. And the first dude,
Speaker 5: maybe he wasn't quite what she was hoping for. You
Speaker 5: get a cape on was hanging out with his Magic
Speaker 5: the gathering friends. And even though she didn't say this,
Speaker 5: I just got the feeling that he probably asked for
Speaker 5: a sip of her sprite.
Speaker 1: Well, he was tifteen years younger.
Speaker 3: You have a boy than a man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, games on your phone.
Speaker 5: You're not going to drink all of that?
Speaker 7: Are?
Speaker 5: Can I sip a second straw in there? But then
Speaker 5: a second dude walked over, a much better dude. N
Speaker 5: Kai businessman, a businessman in a business suit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all about that busy business walk.
Speaker 5: We did all the business talk to the promptly business
Speaker 5: ghosted her.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Amy, who doesn't meet a lot of guys that
Speaker 5: doesn't mean any guys online or a lot of normal
Speaker 5: guys out in the real world. Wants to know why?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean Amy, you haven't heard back from Kay. Have
Speaker 1: you been back to the Costco food court because I
Speaker 1: was kind of like a samplinge of single men for
Speaker 1: you at one point.
Speaker 4: I haven't done my weekly Costco trip yet, but I
Speaker 4: don't know.
Speaker 6: I want to know what's going on with Kai.
Speaker 1: Okay to go back to the well, you know you
Speaker 1: want what you can't have.
Speaker 2: Yes, is the perfect example. The nice guy wants to day.
Speaker 2: I'll take you to day right now. If you want
Speaker 2: to leave right now, I'll go. And then there's a
Speaker 2: guy that's.
Speaker 5: Like, oh, you're rooting for the LARPing kid. I am.
Speaker 2: Forgotten to call her back, and she's like.
Speaker 1: I need to know. I don't know that we want
Speaker 1: to date the twenty year old.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's gonna be faithful.
Speaker 5: I'm sure his mom will be back there to get
Speaker 5: a bunch of like chocolate covered pretzels for him when
Speaker 5: he's done. But first let's focus on Kay. We'll see
Speaker 5: if he's really like ghosting you on purpose or if
Speaker 5: something else is up. Well, Donal's number right now here
Speaker 5: we go.
Speaker 7: Hello, Hey is this Kai speaking?
Speaker 5: Hey Kai?
Speaker 1: Very business like response there, Kai.
Speaker 5: Good morning and condolences. What oh god? Kay, I'm sorry man,
Speaker 5: we're a radio show that's why it's so weird over here.
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning, trying.
Speaker 1: To get all up in your business.
Speaker 5: Take it from a nine down to it two guys?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Hey, yeah, I think you guys might have a
Speaker 7: wrong number.
Speaker 8: No, no, sorry, sorry, we have the right guy, because
Speaker 8: you are somebody who met a listener of ours out recently,
Speaker 8: and it kind of falls underneath the umbrella of the
Speaker 8: segment that we do called the second date Update, I
Speaker 8: mean kind of loosely, yeah, because we know that there
Speaker 8: wasn't like an actual date that happened.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I haven't been on any dates something, right.
Speaker 5: But our listener Amy says that you two met at
Speaker 5: a Costco food court a little while back.
Speaker 1: Amy, Yeah, Amy, remember you sat across from her and
Speaker 1: she like had a pizza or something where you had
Speaker 1: a pizza and then you picked up a grandma's drink or.
Speaker 5: Broke when you let me handle the details.
Speaker 7: Drink.
Speaker 5: Yeah, some old lady nearby spilled her coke and you
Speaker 5: volunteered to go help her, and Amy thought that was
Speaker 5: really sweet.
Speaker 7: It was okay, I'm sorry, what the what is the
Speaker 7: planoff all of this?
Speaker 5: Well, she liked you, She felt that there was some
Speaker 5: sort of connection happening, and she thought since you gave
Speaker 5: your business card to her and you were talking afterwards,
Speaker 5: there would be another meetup. But that hasn't happened.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, we did share a couple of text
Speaker 7: I just don't think it's going to work out in
Speaker 7: the long run.
Speaker 1: To be honest, can I ask Ki at one point
Speaker 1: did you think did it would be nice to take
Speaker 1: Amy out on a date?
Speaker 7: Yeah? I mean that's why I gave her my card.
Speaker 7: I just you know, I quickly learned that it just
Speaker 7: wasn't going to work.
Speaker 5: Well, when you say you realize that something was off
Speaker 5: or it wasn't going to work, what do you mean
Speaker 5: by that?
Speaker 7: I get different priorities.
Speaker 1: How can you tell what her priorities are? Or just
Speaker 1: a couple of texts? Are we missing something.
Speaker 7: I don't want? I mean, this is gonna sound I
Speaker 7: just don't want to be like judged by you guys.
Speaker 1: It's OK, that's sweet you're worried about our opinions.
Speaker 7: Look, you know, if there's just certain things that you
Speaker 7: learn about a person and you just realize you're on
Speaker 7: a different path than them, and so one of those
Speaker 7: is I don't know if she mentioned I'm Actually I've
Speaker 7: got the executive Costco membership and she doesn't.
Speaker 2: Oh, I've heard about that tells.
Speaker 7: Me a lot about how you know, tells you what
Speaker 7: how she takes, you know, the seriousness of like her
Speaker 7: life and her future. M I'm going at Costco two
Speaker 7: three times a week for protein for bulking, and you
Speaker 7: know how much protein.
Speaker 1: Worried about your digestive system?
Speaker 7: A lot of meal prep. I do a lot of
Speaker 7: meal prep.
Speaker 5: They already sell everything in bulk.
Speaker 1: Wait are you being seriously? I mean, I just want
Speaker 1: to know what the normal membership says about someone.
Speaker 7: Yeah, says to me that they just don't prioritize their life.
Speaker 4: Okay, can I say something?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Hi, Hello, you didn't opt for the higher level membership
Speaker 1: of this second date.
Speaker 5: That's Amy. She's been waiting on the other line waiting
Speaker 5: to talk to you.
Speaker 6: Come on, Sorry, how I I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I just I just want to.
Speaker 6: So the reason you don't want to go out is
Speaker 6: because I don't have the executive costal membership.
Speaker 4: Like that's the issue.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you say it so matter of factly. I think
Speaker 5: there's some things left unsaid that she needs to hear
Speaker 5: from you.
Speaker 7: Wow, right, you get in an hour earlier with the
Speaker 7: executive membership, So like, what you want me to get
Speaker 7: there at a normal time and wait online with the
Speaker 7: rest of the regular people. Oh my godhead, you get
Speaker 7: two percent cash back rewards with the executive membership, which
Speaker 7: pays for itself, it says to me, because it doesn't
Speaker 7: cost that much more money for the executive membership that
Speaker 7: you don't take your financial health seriously.
Speaker 5: Wo wow, he brings up some good points, Amy, do
Speaker 5: you have anything to say to that?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 6: You know, I really thought that I met a normal
Speaker 6: person at Costco, but clearly I didn't.
Speaker 5: You meant inn a executive member.
Speaker 7: He's not normal, Amy, I'm sorry. We're both literally and
Speaker 7: figurative at the different status levels, and I can't be
Speaker 7: the one to be teaching you how to get to
Speaker 7: the next step. For me, that's a deal breaker.
Speaker 5: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Crazy a little on the unusual side.
Speaker 5: It is crazy to not take advantage of all the
Speaker 5: benefits that executive members do you get.
Speaker 1: Like, even if this is the issue, Like, she's not
Speaker 1: going to stop you from having your membership, you can
Speaker 1: still go in early.
Speaker 7: So what so I'm going to go in, go early,
Speaker 7: come back with all my stuff, and she's not even
Speaker 7: gonna have been able to go yet, and so I'm
Speaker 7: going to feel good by that. I thought this all out.
Speaker 7: It's just it's not worth it.
Speaker 1: Why do you both have to go to Costco so much?
Speaker 5: Amy, You're holding him back from his Costco privileges and
Speaker 5: you can't afford to do that.
Speaker 4: Okay, you are just serious.
Speaker 2: I think there's something else and this is his excuse.
Speaker 2: This is pretty weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know any single person that has an executive
Speaker 1: membership to Costco's.
Speaker 3: Great, Well, that makes sense those on your friend group
Speaker 3: because you're not good.
Speaker 1: So like, how are you going to meet somebody?
Speaker 5: He'll meet somebody when he goes in an hour before
Speaker 5: the rest of the normans get to go in.
Speaker 1: But executive memberships are all going to be.
Speaker 5: Like quality people. Yes, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's going to be like vending machine
Speaker 1: guys and then married people.
Speaker 2: That's a vending machine guy, you know, like people who.
Speaker 1: Stalk the vending machines. They get a lot of their
Speaker 1: products at Costco. Or maybe maybe people are putting together
Speaker 1: concession stands for school events, Like that's who you're going
Speaker 1: to get in that early hour you.
Speaker 5: Hold them in high regard though clearly so people helping
Speaker 5: the community.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're just not gonna be single, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I don't know, kay, I mean we always have to
Speaker 5: offer to ask at the end of the segment every
Speaker 5: time if you'd like to go on one more date
Speaker 5: with Amy despite all of her flaws and shortcomings.
Speaker 1: I mean, what a man you'd be if you could
Speaker 1: look past it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because we would pay for it now though, Wow, Okay,
Speaker 5: I'm sure Amy, I'm sorry it was You're not a
Speaker 5: high enough costco members.
Speaker 4: I'm not good enough.
Speaker 1: Maybe show him and joined Sam's Club.
Speaker 2: Afford Sam's Club girl.
Speaker 4: Honestly, this whole thing is so stupid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, Well.
Speaker 5: I guess it's back to the LARPer for you and
Speaker 5: we'll do that.
Speaker 1: Second date that Jose's been wanting Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the morning.
Speaker 5: You know, it's funny that she didn't even really argue
Speaker 5: with him that much over his problem.
Speaker 1: I think she was stunned. Yeah, I mean, honestly, Like
Speaker 1: I mean, Jose may have said it at one point
Speaker 1: where he's like, it's got to be something else.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it got to.
Speaker 1: Be a cover for something.
Speaker 5: Was she stunned or did she know deep down that
Speaker 5: he was right? Oh, and he is better and she's
Speaker 5: just not Costco executive material.
Speaker 1: I didn't bring it up. But why would you want
Speaker 1: to go earlier to Costco because they're not going to
Speaker 1: have the sample people there yet. Oh it's like going
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday night really late. You don't get any
Speaker 1: of the samples. Not very fun.
Speaker 5: You were just say you're just there for the free stuff.
Speaker 1: You gotta go at the prime area to get the
Speaker 1: free stuff.
Speaker 2: I mean, shopping am being fed is a huge benefit.
Speaker 5: And there's just so much inequality and elitism in this world.
Speaker 5: I never thought Costco would be contributing to the social divide,
Speaker 5: but there they are.
Speaker 1: I know, they're just trying to bring people together in bulk.
Speaker 1: Get back fired.
Speaker 5: How did that happen? The good news is no executive
Speaker 5: status is needed to reach out and email the show.
Speaker 1: No, no, no status at all. We take anybody.
Speaker 2: You can still pay us if you want.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's not a requirement, literally anybody. If you
Speaker 5: need help with your dating life, we'll call that person
Speaker 5: who's not calling you back. Go check out our podcast
Speaker 5: or up online wherever you get yours at Brook and
Speaker 5: Jeffrey
