Speaker 1: It's always a good sign when your day asked to
Speaker 1: speak to the manager.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right at the beginning too, at the beginning.
Speaker 1: All right, we're going to get into that with a
Speaker 1: brand new second date. Welcome to the podcast. We're so
Speaker 1: glad you're.
Speaker 2: Here to complain. Well, I'm sure that's what it was.
Speaker 2: Where's the drama?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, we're gonna get to that in
Speaker 1: just a second. But we love starting with your comments,
Speaker 1: and we've been doing on Sunday. We've been hosting our
Speaker 1: full show just once a week. We don't want to
Speaker 1: give you too much of us because.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 3: Off here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for even myself. So what what do you see, Alexis.
Speaker 4: Yeah, someone said hello, this is Eustace from Cameroon. I
Speaker 4: like listening to you guys while working on my spreadsheets.
Speaker 4: Oh I'm a finance guy. I used to skip the
Speaker 4: one plus hour full sessions, but listening to this was
Speaker 4: rather amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, right, my mom loves spreadsheets. I don't
Speaker 1: understand people like you, but there is a thrill in them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how beautiful.
Speaker 1: Yeah that would be the best place to be a
Speaker 1: finance Yeah, sure, financial guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever it is. We don't do excel here. All right,
Speaker 2: let's get into your brand new second date right now.
Speaker 3: Second date up dated Brooke, you'd agree with me that
Speaker 3: it's important in the dating world to know what you want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's important in life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But it's equally important to know what you don't want.
Speaker 2: Sometimes that's how you figure out what you do want.
Speaker 3: Like Alexis, she does not want labels. Yeah, even if
Speaker 3: one day down the road she gets married, don't put
Speaker 3: a label on that.
Speaker 2: He was my guy friend. Yeah, bothered a couple of children, exactly,
Speaker 2: label on that.
Speaker 3: That's gross. And one of our listeners knows exactly what
Speaker 3: she doesn't want, and that's a second date with the
Speaker 3: guys she went out with.
Speaker 2: And why is she calling us?
Speaker 3: She does want answers. She deserves that, So let's talk
Speaker 3: to her. Jenna, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5: Hi everyone, How did he block you?
Speaker 3: And now you got to use us to tell him off?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Pretty much. I mean, I'm just no, I'm curious.
Speaker 2: At the point. Okay, all right, you're beyond me.
Speaker 5: I'm beyond mad and I hate that I am expending
Speaker 5: energy on this, but like it's not.
Speaker 6: Okay, what happened and I just need to know, like,
Speaker 6: what the heck?
Speaker 1: Okay, I think we need some explaining because you sound
Speaker 1: really serious.
Speaker 3: I feel like I have all the information that I
Speaker 3: need to that little convo. But if you want to
Speaker 3: give us some details, I'm cool with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like the guy's name, I start with, Yeah, what
Speaker 2: is his name?
Speaker 6: His name is Peter?
Speaker 2: Okay, Peter. We hate Peter? Yeah, Peter.
Speaker 6: Yeah that could have been red flag number one.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, some guy Peter in his car, Like oh yeah, okay, Well,
Speaker 3: we'll give grace to most other Peters, but this Peter,
Speaker 3: we're not saying, Yeah, why why do we hate Peter?
Speaker 5: So we met on a dating app, But I don't
Speaker 5: usually meet a lot of guys, Like I'll talk to
Speaker 5: a lot of people just to like get a vibe
Speaker 5: or whatever, but I don't say yes to a lot
Speaker 5: of dates because because.
Speaker 6: You can meet some quality people on there. But that's
Speaker 6: not what this is about, exactly. It's rare.
Speaker 1: So you thought Peter was quality in the beginning. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming since you did say yes.
Speaker 5: Right, and he honestly should feel lucky that I said yes.
Speaker 5: Okay at this point, Yeah, but going in, obviously you
Speaker 5: had a little bit of optimism for how the date
Speaker 5: would go.
Speaker 3: So like what happened?
Speaker 6: So when I feel like the person who's asking for
Speaker 6: the date should.
Speaker 5: Be the one who plans the date, so thathing's fair.
Speaker 6: I said that to him. He said, he made a reservation. Fine,
Speaker 6: we decided to meet there to safety first, and we
Speaker 6: get there and he checks in with.
Speaker 5: The hostess and they're like, oh, yeah, it's going to
Speaker 5: be fifteen minute wait, and I was like, hold the pump.
Speaker 2: Oh is that when you stopped talking to him? It's
Speaker 2: usually like five actions. They say that too, that is true.
Speaker 3: Why are you saying hold the phone?
Speaker 5: Because if he made a reservation, we shouldn't have to wait.
Speaker 1: No, but that's the thing about reservations. I've often had
Speaker 1: to wait for a resume.
Speaker 3: But you're obviously not on the same level as Jenna.
Speaker 3: Is so fair, you know, it's not fair to compare
Speaker 3: yourself that yet wait, so.
Speaker 1: Wait, you're you're already getting upset because you're waiting and
Speaker 1: you think he's lying about making a reservation.
Speaker 5: Is that what you're I wasn't sure because he was
Speaker 5: just like okay with the wait, So I'm like, that
Speaker 5: feels iffy, Okay.
Speaker 3: You want the guy to step up and be like,
Speaker 3: excuse me, I made the reservation for this time.
Speaker 5: I wanted him to handle it, because you never know
Speaker 5: when fifteen minutes can turn into twenty or thirty. I'm like,
Speaker 5: I don't want to spend all night waiting for a table.
Speaker 5: So I ended up speaking with the hostess and then
Speaker 5: with the manager.
Speaker 1: Oh good, Oh so you're fifteen minutes into a date
Speaker 1: and you're already talking your manager.
Speaker 6: Well, I didn't wait for fifteen minutes. Like I spoke
Speaker 6: with the hostess, she brought in the manager. I didn't
Speaker 6: ask for the manager, and.
Speaker 3: Brookes, she's only doing that because her date is dragging
Speaker 3: his feet on doing it. He's just cool with whatever.
Speaker 1: But it sounds like you're already starting to work yourself up,
Speaker 1: like you're already starting to get upset.
Speaker 2: But get a bad mood pre date?
Speaker 5: Maybe, Yes, I'm not in a bad mood. And if
Speaker 5: I was in a bad mood, it wasn't my fault.
Speaker 5: The restaurant put me in a bad mood by making
Speaker 5: me wait. My date put me in a bad mood
Speaker 5: by not fixing the situation. And after my conversation with
Speaker 5: the manager, magically I was seated and I turned around
Speaker 5: and they got me a few free drinks.
Speaker 6: They offered me an appetizer.
Speaker 3: This is why complaining always pays off.
Speaker 2: This does feel like something you would do, Jeff.
Speaker 3: Ye. Yes, I've come out on top status.
Speaker 2: So are you in your date back on? Are you're
Speaker 2: feeling good?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: You're feeling cared for and everybody's happy?
Speaker 1: Right? Well?
Speaker 5: I sat down and like I'm having my drink and
Speaker 5: I turned around.
Speaker 6: He's just gone, like he vanished without saying a word.
Speaker 3: Wait what Yeah?
Speaker 6: And I tried to call him. He's not responding. He
Speaker 6: won't answer text messages, he won't pick up phone calls.
Speaker 5: I mean, I did his job exactly.
Speaker 3: You put in all the work, and now he's deciding
Speaker 3: to walk away. That's rude, right, Brooke, I you know
Speaker 3: that's right. Yes, you are right, Jeff. This guy's are.
Speaker 1: I'm imagining like my husband going out with you on
Speaker 1: a first date. He would have been so mortified and
Speaker 1: embarrassed that he just wouldn't have wanted to even speak
Speaker 1: to the restaurant's staff after that incident, So he probably
Speaker 1: just left.
Speaker 3: There's a clear line here. Some people are team Jenna,
Speaker 3: and some people seem to be team Peter in this room.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, here's the thing. Are you really that
Speaker 2: confused about why he left?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I want answers. I'm pissed. He wasted my time,
Speaker 6: he wasted my energy, my makeup products.
Speaker 3: Hello, and I mean Brooke. Sure, maybe he didn't want
Speaker 3: to be on the day anymore, but shouldn't he have
Speaker 3: at least had the gentleman courtesy to say something to her.
Speaker 3: Be a man like your husband, I'm sure would have
Speaker 3: been and ditch before he ditched you on the date.
Speaker 2: I'm just sure, but I'm kidding. Thank you.
Speaker 3: That's all that we need the bus. This guy deserves
Speaker 3: to answer up for the cowardly move that he did
Speaker 3: by ditching him by not saying anything, Jenna, we're all
Speaker 3: on board with you despite the Thank.
Speaker 6: You guys so much for your support. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: We appreciate you, Jenna, and we would love if you
Speaker 3: left a five star review on our podcast when you're
Speaker 3: done with this. It would really go along with okay perfect.
Speaker 2: So let's wait till segment two before she actually.
Speaker 3: No, I wanted wanted to put it now before segment two,
Speaker 3: because who knows what's gonna happen when we come back.
Speaker 3: We're gonna call Peter and we'll see what he has
Speaker 3: to say in your second date update. Right after this
Speaker 3: second date update, the room seems very divided about this
Speaker 3: call with our listener Jenna, who told us that she's
Speaker 3: extremely upset since her date. Peter told her that he
Speaker 3: made dinner reservations, but they showed up and the hostess said, well,
Speaker 3: actually you're gonna need to wait an extra fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3: And Jenna didn't scream, she was just like, I don't
Speaker 3: understand why I thought we had reservations for that time.
Speaker 2: I think she may have been a little more forceful
Speaker 2: than that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Meanwhile, spineless Peter wouldn't say a word, so
Speaker 3: Jenna had to step up and calmly confront the manager
Speaker 3: herself and guess what happened? She got results? Okay, immediately, Oh,
Speaker 3: I guess the table was available and was even given
Speaker 3: free drinks and food for her trouble. And where was Peter?
Speaker 3: Who knows quivering Pete had dipped out without saying a
Speaker 3: single word. Those are Brooks words, by the way.
Speaker 2: I hate when you just quote me like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true, Brooke. I am just curious though, because
Speaker 3: I was getting the vibe in the first part that
Speaker 3: you took issue with Jenna's approach to how she handled
Speaker 3: the situation. And I'm just wondering would it be different
Speaker 3: if they had a reservation and it was an extra
Speaker 3: forty five minutes an hour? Would her actions be warranted
Speaker 3: if the time length was different? To me, good question.
Speaker 2: Those are all like what ifs, Like that's not what.
Speaker 3: Happened, because you know, because you know that I'm.
Speaker 2: Right, No, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's like hypotheticals, and hypotheticals will always get you in trouble.
Speaker 3: Okay, Jenna. I'm trying to get them onto your side.
Speaker 3: I'm doing everything in my power. They still want to
Speaker 3: be team Peter for some reason.
Speaker 2: Brook.
Speaker 6: I get the vibe that you don't support me, and
Speaker 6: I've heard on your show that you support women, and honestly,
Speaker 6: I don't think supported.
Speaker 3: Yeah, where are you what happens?
Speaker 1: I just don't know that you should be so mystified
Speaker 1: that Peter's not interested?
Speaker 3: I think, well, I don't think. I don't think that's it, though.
Speaker 3: I don't think she's mystified about why he's not interested.
Speaker 3: She's just not understanding why he took the approach where
Speaker 3: he did without saying a word. He was rude.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just want to know, like what he was
Speaker 5: thinking to make such a cowardly decision to just leave
Speaker 5: without anything.
Speaker 3: We don't know what we're gonna get. If Peter answers
Speaker 3: the phone, let's let's speculation. Maybe he will own up
Speaker 3: to all the mistakes that he made that day. But
Speaker 3: let's find out.
Speaker 2: I bet you, I bet Jenna will be very kind
Speaker 2: and forgiving it.
Speaker 3: We're not dealing with hypotheticals earlier, so let's just take
Speaker 3: some real action and dial the number.
Speaker 2: Give you makes sense, Let's get some Here we go.
Speaker 3: Hello, Wow answered on the first ring. Yikes, is this Peter?
Speaker 2: Is such a bad way to start a conversation.
Speaker 7: Peter, is this you?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Who is this?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 3: You should know us because we're a very popular radio
Speaker 3: show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. You may
Speaker 3: have heard of.
Speaker 1: Us, or Jenna's really rubbed off on you.
Speaker 8: What is happening right now?
Speaker 3: Well, what's happening is a segment called a second Date
Speaker 3: Update where we're trying to help out one of our listeners,
Speaker 3: one of our very good friends. That's true. Her name
Speaker 3: is Jenna, and you went on a date with her recently,
Speaker 3: you almost went on a date with her. I should say, well.
Speaker 2: You waited five minutes with her in the restaurant lobby.
Speaker 3: Ringing a bell.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that happened.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, I'd love just your first impression
Speaker 1: of Jenna.
Speaker 8: I mean, she's pretty, she seemed cool on the app
Speaker 8: and then uh, I even went out of my way
Speaker 8: to call a buddy and get a reservation at a
Speaker 8: new restaurant.
Speaker 7: Oh dude, you yeah, we heard that there were supposedly
Speaker 7: reservations that were made, but when you arrived to the restaurant,
Speaker 7: things didn't go that smoothly.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Look, I mean it was swamped.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 8: I mean it's a new place.
Speaker 1: It makes sense for a new restaurant. There's like systems
Speaker 1: that they don't have in place. Yet sometimes they get
Speaker 1: behind sounds.
Speaker 3: Like they don't have their stuff together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is just a trend. That's totally normal for
Speaker 2: a new restaurant to not have all.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Sorry to interrupt you there, Peter, keep going.
Speaker 8: I don't know, guys, it was just pretty awkward because
Speaker 8: I mean we get there and she finds out there's
Speaker 8: a fifteen minute wait. I mean, my goodness pretty much
Speaker 8: kind of has a temper tantrump.
Speaker 3: She even said like, do you know who I am?
Speaker 2: What she said that?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 8: Yeah, Like he starts whipping out her phone showing her
Speaker 8: twenty thousand followers she has of everything.
Speaker 3: Oh she's an influencer or she just has like twenty thousands.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, really just.
Speaker 3: Like Brooks sounds a little bit jealous.
Speaker 1: So you even so followed, I am not interested in
Speaker 1: how many found people have, and I think that's such
Speaker 1: a weird flex.
Speaker 8: Right, So then it was just so awkward, and I
Speaker 8: just I was like, get over yourself.
Speaker 3: Okay, well okay, so.
Speaker 1: Is there a reason why you didn't tell her? Like,
Speaker 1: hey man, that was too much for me.
Speaker 2: I'm leaving.
Speaker 8: I just couldn't be with a girl like that, you know,
Speaker 8: I'm like, get over yourself. I mean, I left, and
Speaker 8: I had to as I was going home, I had
Speaker 8: to like text my buddy like, hey, I'm so sorry, Peter.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, Peter, sorry, Like just so you know,
Speaker 5: like I've seen mannequin's with more initiative than you.
Speaker 3: What, Yeah, so Peter, you couldn't figure it out. That's
Speaker 3: Jenna on the other line. She's been listening to this call.
Speaker 3: Normally we we have them wait. But yeah, and I
Speaker 3: don't blame her either. That was kind of a long
Speaker 3: explanation on your end.
Speaker 2: It was exactly what we thought had happened.
Speaker 3: She could have summarized it a little bit quicker, but
Speaker 3: go ahead, Jenna.
Speaker 5: I honestly don't appreciate being mischaracterized.
Speaker 6: I am not. I never said you know who I am.
Speaker 5: Like who says that anymore?
Speaker 8: I heard you say it.
Speaker 7: But what maybe I did?
Speaker 2: Maybe I did it.
Speaker 6: But at least we got a table.
Speaker 5: You had one chance to act like a man, and
Speaker 5: you went full on NPC MPC.
Speaker 2: What does that stand for?
Speaker 6: Non playable character?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Brooke, come on, come on, Brook.
Speaker 2: It sounds like he didn't want to play.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I didn't. I didn't want to be a part of.
Speaker 3: It, right. Yeah, But there's a level of decorum that
Speaker 3: usually comes into dates where you tell someone, hey, I
Speaker 3: don't know if this is going to work out, or
Speaker 3: I gotta go just dipping out.
Speaker 2: What is he supposed to do?
Speaker 1: He's supposed to say something, and then Jenna is going
Speaker 1: to go nuclear on him and make a scene in
Speaker 1: the restaurant next and embarrass his buddy even more.
Speaker 3: I apologize to his buddy, He apologized to the manager
Speaker 3: and everybody except for Jenna.
Speaker 2: But why does she deserve an apology? I guess is
Speaker 2: my question.
Speaker 5: Brook. You're supposed to support women's rights and wrongs.
Speaker 2: You know, women can still be a holes. Jenna.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, You're right and you're being one right now.
Speaker 8: Brook.
Speaker 3: Ye, I don't understand why you're attacking Jenna. She came
Speaker 3: to us for help.
Speaker 2: I'm not dagging anyone.
Speaker 1: It's just well, she's kind of being one. But yeah,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Like, Jenna, how could anyone calmly talk
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 2: And in that moment, we're talking.
Speaker 5: About the wrong thing here, Like we need to talk
Speaker 5: about who gets done and I do? Okay, I got
Speaker 5: it the table and he did nothing.
Speaker 8: I mean, this is just outrageous. I mean, Jenna, you're
Speaker 8: a beautiful girl, but get over yourself.
Speaker 5: I'm just going to take that as an apology that
Speaker 5: you won't get over me.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, I like how you just take what
Speaker 1: you want.
Speaker 2: You know you got there.
Speaker 8: I'm trying to see, Jenna, what you're saying doesn't even
Speaker 8: make any sense.
Speaker 6: So I just want an apology.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's a fair ass, just one
Speaker 3: tiny apology for all the trouble that Jenna had to
Speaker 3: go through to get her table.
Speaker 1: And then in return, will Jenna then apologize to the
Speaker 1: restaurant manager.
Speaker 2: The restaurant gave.
Speaker 3: Her free food and drinks for their own mistake. They
Speaker 3: admitted they were wrong fifteen minutes late for her reservation.
Speaker 2: She didn't even wait fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5: Super You know what, At that point, I don't even
Speaker 5: just want an apology from Peter.
Speaker 6: I want an apology from Brooke.
Speaker 1: Two.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, bro why don't you be a good
Speaker 3: role model and show Peter how a good apology is done.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's healthy to apologize for something that
Speaker 1: you didn't do wrong.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna take blame for Jenna's behavior. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Well, maybe you should apologize for the outfit that you
Speaker 3: chose to wear today, because this is a pain to ask.
Speaker 2: Isn't like a snuggie?
Speaker 3: Jeff?
Speaker 2: For that? I am sorry.
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry for that, Jenna. I'm going to pass that
Speaker 3: apology over to you. Peter. Now's your chance to apologize
Speaker 3: for ditching out on Jenna without a word. Ready three to.
Speaker 8: One, and you know when they say you don't have
Speaker 8: anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. That's
Speaker 8: why I left, and I just got a backbrook on this.
Speaker 8: I mean, I can't condone bad behavior like that. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Yeah all right, Yeah that was a long winded way
Speaker 3: of almost saying absolutely nothing. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Do not get what she.
Speaker 3: Wants, Jenna, I'm so so sorry that you had to
Speaker 3: go through all of that. Thank you.
Speaker 2: She didn't want one to start.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm a man of action like Jenna is,
Speaker 3: so I will take action and offer to put you
Speaker 3: two together one more time for another redo. No thanks, Okay,
Speaker 3: at least I tried at I'm the only one in
Speaker 3: the room who did it.
Speaker 6: So yeah, you hear that, Peter, I said no before
Speaker 6: you did.
Speaker 3: Spineless once again? My god, looking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 3: I don't like when calls get ugly like that.
Speaker 2: We have had a couple lately.
Speaker 3: I know, yeah, yeah, I know, And then I have
Speaker 3: to be the one who steps up and apologizes for
Speaker 3: everybody on behalf of the entire show.
Speaker 1: She didn't understand You're being sarcastic may not actually support her.
Speaker 3: I think our listeners deserve a little bit of support
Speaker 3: even if they're not right.
Speaker 2: Okay, well do you never tell them that they're not right?
Speaker 3: Well, that's just gonna make them mad at me.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, someone needs to stand up for them. But I
Speaker 3: did take something away from it. Twenty thousand followers can
Speaker 3: get you free drinks and an appetizer.
Speaker 2: What we are way more than that. We never get anything.
Speaker 3: I thought for sure it would be higher, like forty
Speaker 3: five K. But if it's only twenty I'm gonna start
Speaker 3: pulling out my phone at acclaim Jeffer, and I'm gonna
Speaker 3: be like, excuse me. Do you know who Brooke Fox is?
Speaker 3: I work with her? Yeah, and if you do, if
Speaker 3: you don't want to be on her bad side, you
Speaker 3: will give me some free Hallo Peno papers on the house.
Speaker 2: You show my Instagram and you get charged more.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to show him that, ye. Did you
Speaker 3: want to check out our socials, specifically our show one
