Speaker 1: It's Brooking Jeffrey in the morning, and we've got a
Speaker 1: brand new Second Date podcast for you.
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for being here. Yes, thank you, we
Speaker 2: love it.
Speaker 1: And today I'm really curious to see how many people
Speaker 1: this would work on this guy's trick. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's a trick, but it's a cute way to
Speaker 1: give out your number without ever having to talk to anyone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's creative and funny. I think, Okay, it would
Speaker 2: work on you. Yeah I would. Yeah, awesome. So all
Speaker 2: the guys start doing it, that's the thing. Only one
Speaker 2: time is it funny, you know, and then it's not.
Speaker 3: Then it goes viral and everyone's a farming.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: What do we got in comments right now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's one from Pancham who said, love listening to
Speaker 4: this podcast. I migrated to Spotify from Insta reels and
Speaker 4: my dog recognizes Brook's voice. She'll get the zoomies when
Speaker 4: the Second Date update starts.
Speaker 2: So you're a good book. You're a good book. Zoom
Speaker 2: zoom zoomy zoomy. I love that.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening and being part of
Speaker 1: this podcast. It means the world to us. Make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe and sit back and enjoy the brand new
Speaker 1: Second Date.
Speaker 3: Second Date Update. We've been seeing studies lately and we've
Speaker 3: talked about this on the show where more and more men,
Speaker 3: especially gen Z guys, are scared to approach women in
Speaker 3: person and try to strike up a conversation.
Speaker 2: Very scary that gender you're intimidating.
Speaker 3: Which is different than me, who doesn't approach anybody in
Speaker 3: person because I'm a shy boy. Shy boy gets nervous.
Speaker 2: But like Jeff, that's actually Jeff's real personality. Everyone knows.
Speaker 3: Don't tell them. Just like Jeff Goldbloom said in Jurassic Park,
Speaker 3: life finds a way, and so did our listener Connor,
Speaker 3: because in his email to us, he said he's trying
Speaker 3: something new to meet people more organically these days, and
Speaker 3: watching TikTok to find creative ways to do that. So Connor,
Speaker 3: welcome to the show man. How you doing.
Speaker 5: I'm doing all right, brother, How you doing? Hey?
Speaker 1: There's nothing more organic than following TikTok trends my friends.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, yeah, I am a little bit shy just
Speaker 3: to talk to you and ask, but what did you
Speaker 3: find on TikTok that helped your dating life.
Speaker 5: I came across this trend where apparently these girls are
Speaker 5: putting their phone numbers on these bracelets, right, and they
Speaker 5: see a guy they like, they give them a bracelet.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait real quick, I'm picturing like the tailor friendship.
Speaker 5: That's what?
Speaker 1: Yeah it?
Speaker 2: Why do you know so quickly? TikTok.
Speaker 3: I could see the merit in it because then you
Speaker 3: don't have to like say words to each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And if this guy doesn't call you, then you're like, cool,
Speaker 3: I just gave him a gift and he's got a
Speaker 3: nice little.
Speaker 2: Free brace Yeah, he's totally gonna wear that way.
Speaker 3: Connor, how did that help you?
Speaker 5: I had this random thought, right, I was like, girls
Speaker 5: could do it, we should be able.
Speaker 1: To do it too, Right, that's right, my friend, make
Speaker 1: your friendship bracelets.
Speaker 3: Alright, so you you did some arts and crafts for yourself.
Speaker 5: Actually, I got one of my lady friends to help
Speaker 5: me to make this.
Speaker 2: Smart to streak some beads.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'd be lost.
Speaker 1: I honestly, it feels like it would work better the reverse.
Speaker 1: The way you're doing it, it's funny if.
Speaker 3: It's bad and clunky, rather than it's like cute.
Speaker 2: A woman would really appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, a little kookie maybe, But is this something
Speaker 3: that you put on just for when you're going out
Speaker 3: for the night, or do you wear the bracelets all
Speaker 3: the time, even at work, just in case you meet someone.
Speaker 1: I imagined him having the bracelets in his pocket and
Speaker 1: then pulling them out and giving them to someone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you always have them on deck, That's what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Twenty four to seven? Are they on you?
Speaker 5: To be honest with you, this is new to me, right,
Speaker 5: So I kind of wanted to just try it out
Speaker 5: for just a full week.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, okay, So how many bracelets total did you
Speaker 3: give out in that week?
Speaker 5: Probably like a dozen okay.
Speaker 2: Not too many?
Speaker 3: How many a lot?
Speaker 2: How many call backs did you get?
Speaker 5: So I got three?
Speaker 3: Okay, that's one and four?
Speaker 5: Yeah, what about one of them just texting me back,
Speaker 5: said unsubscribed.
Speaker 3: That's funny. It's got a funny but yeah, that's.
Speaker 2: That's funny, you know, with her friends doing it.
Speaker 3: Okay, And so I'm assuming that's the girl that we're
Speaker 3: calling then today.
Speaker 5: No, no, not that.
Speaker 2: He followed the rules. He really did on subscriber.
Speaker 5: I hit it off with this girl named Ainsleck Ainsley.
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean you've given out so many bracelets throughout
Speaker 3: the whole week. Did you remember which girl Ainsley was?
Speaker 5: To be honest, at first, I didn't.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's all right. You didn't tell her that, did you?
Speaker 5: No? I didn't. But we we did a picture of exchange,
Speaker 5: so I knew who I was.
Speaker 3: Of faces, I'm guessing that's probably remember you. She's like
Speaker 3: five guys gave me bracelets last week. Was there a day, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 5: We got some lunch lunch.
Speaker 1: Okay, that makes sense, like random guy and bracelet. Let's
Speaker 1: do daytime.
Speaker 3: What was it like meeting her a second time?
Speaker 5: She was still wearing her bracelet. I guess that's a
Speaker 5: good thing. And I actually brought her matching homemade necklace.
Speaker 5: It's kind of corny.
Speaker 3: To match her bracelet, Okay, And I'm assuming your lady
Speaker 3: friend helped you make that one too, but we won't
Speaker 3: tell anim.
Speaker 2: I bet he figured it out by then. You just
Speaker 2: need a longer string. That's all the necklace takes.
Speaker 3: I've always got customer rings with their name onto.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just got the whole set you right on the necklace,
Speaker 1: because you'd already put your phone number on the bracelet,
Speaker 1: social security number on this one.
Speaker 5: I just you know, I put a little note like
Speaker 5: your special cute.
Speaker 3: Did she like the necklace because.
Speaker 5: Apparently it reminded her of the show called Love Island.
Speaker 2: But I don't know where this is the show all.
Speaker 3: The gen Z things, friendship, bracelets, Taylor Swift, Love Island.
Speaker 2: Maybe she's just trying to make covers. Yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 3: You guys talked about Love Island.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know what, I'm kind of a fan
Speaker 5: of Love Love Island just a little.
Speaker 3: Bit, bro. It's like everyone's guilty pleasure.
Speaker 2: I just saw a video of someone's boyfriend going nuts
Speaker 2: over it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's everywhere anyway.
Speaker 5: It's a lot going on. But we hung out for
Speaker 5: over an hour and it's good. I expected a little more,
Speaker 5: but we hugged and it was a good time.
Speaker 2: That sounds good. I mean that's all inappropriate ending for
Speaker 2: a lunch date, right, And have you talked it all?
Speaker 5: You know? All she really does like likes my text
Speaker 5: or I see that she reads them. I'm kind of
Speaker 5: left on red, you know, but I think it's worth
Speaker 5: reaching out again and just kind of seeing what's going
Speaker 5: on because I thought we really connected and even the
Speaker 5: Love Island thing was so nice to have somebody else
Speaker 5: to be a fan of that show. So we're kind
Speaker 5: of on the same frequency, you feel me.
Speaker 3: She's maybe saying the same thing because it's you know
Speaker 3: what Island like, you would think she's saying, Oh, I'm
Speaker 3: so glad in front a guy who's into it. Right,
Speaker 3: let's call her and find out man, we're gonna come back.
Speaker 3: We'll reach out to Ainsley for you.
Speaker 1: Wait, what do we do like, I don't I haven't
Speaker 1: watched the show to welcome into the villa or something like,
Speaker 1: we have to meet at.
Speaker 2: The fire pets. I'm gonna bonshell, come in and throw
Speaker 2: it off. I'm happen to just a simple rose on
Speaker 2: these shows.
Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna hop on Amazon. We're gonna order a
Speaker 3: portable fire pit, throw on our bikinis, and come back
Speaker 3: and do your second date update Love Island style. Right
Speaker 3: after this thank you second date update, we just learned
Speaker 3: the hot new way to meet women, and that's friendship
Speaker 3: bracelets with your phone number on.
Speaker 2: The Yeah, oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an id our listener Connor found on TikTok,
Speaker 3: where women are doing this to meet guys now, so
Speaker 3: he thought, why can't a cool, confident man do it too?
Speaker 2: It worked multiple times for him, get.
Speaker 3: Sure did, and that's how he met Ainslie.
Speaker 2: It's really cute.
Speaker 3: The two of them met up for a date, talked
Speaker 3: a lot about the show Love Island, But since then
Speaker 3: she hasn't been responding to him very much, and Connor
Speaker 3: is now starting to wonder if he just got voted
Speaker 3: off of her Love Island? Connor, how you feeling.
Speaker 5: Man, I'm I'm good. I might still have some options.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you got wait, you got a backup plan? Then?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, I got, I got, I got a few other options.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, Well we can call all of your options
Speaker 3: when we're done with this first option, Ainsley, do options
Speaker 3: all have bracelets?
Speaker 1: I got to know if you've got backup bracelets for
Speaker 1: next week years?
Speaker 2: This doesn't work out?
Speaker 1: Like, how many extras did you make that you haven't
Speaker 1: been passed around? Well?
Speaker 5: I don't think I needed much extras. I mean I'm
Speaker 5: not a bad looking guy, all right?
Speaker 4: With the confidence you say, like three out of twelve texts, Still,
Speaker 4: that's a.
Speaker 3: That's a high success rate for a man. So let's
Speaker 3: keep that confidence going. I'm gonna dial Ainsley's number right now.
Speaker 3: Hopefully she picks up.
Speaker 5: Sounds good, All right, here we go.
Speaker 3: Hello, Hey, we're looking to speak with Ainsley.
Speaker 6: This is her. He's calling.
Speaker 3: We're a radio show. We're called Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 3: the Morning. Offended that you don't recognize us by our
Speaker 3: voices alone or not?
Speaker 2: It makes sense?
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, Like, what's going on? Did I win something?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: Really, you clearly haven't listened to the radio in a
Speaker 3: very long time. We don't give away anything.
Speaker 2: There's no budget.
Speaker 3: We may ask for money by the end of this.
Speaker 3: Actually get your venmo ready. But what we're doing is
Speaker 3: a segment here. It's called a second Date Update Okay, okay,
Speaker 3: And that's something where we reach out to people who've
Speaker 3: gone out with somebody before. That person is not calling
Speaker 3: our listener back and we're trying to figure out why.
Speaker 3: Oh that's awkward totally, which is why we put it
Speaker 3: on for entertainment purposes.
Speaker 2: Perfect It could be fun though. It could be somebody
Speaker 2: that you really like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and in this case it's a guy named Connor.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I think I think I would like to
Speaker 6: maybe go out with him again. He's nice.
Speaker 3: Oh, oh, you would.
Speaker 2: I was easy.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like you've auditioned for a
Speaker 1: reality show before.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just that the thing is, like, there's
Speaker 6: this other guy who's also pursuing me, and I just
Speaker 6: I'm trying to be fair and like figure out what's
Speaker 6: going on because I like both Okay.
Speaker 3: Okay, another person in the picture.
Speaker 2: Okay, who's a competition? What are you working with here against?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 6: I mean he's a really nice guy. Listen, they're both
Speaker 6: nice that I don't really want to lead either one
Speaker 6: of them on because it's kind of early, so I
Speaker 6: just kind of want to see how it progresses. They
Speaker 6: date each one one of them a couple of times
Speaker 6: and kind of get to know them so that I
Speaker 6: can actually make a choice.
Speaker 2: So you are going to call Connor back and go
Speaker 2: out with him again too.
Speaker 3: Because Connor is the one who gave you a bracelet
Speaker 3: if you remember.
Speaker 6: I do remember, I still have it.
Speaker 3: It was really that the other guy didn't give you
Speaker 3: any handmade jewelry.
Speaker 6: No, you're right, I don't have any other handmade sory.
Speaker 6: And it was super cute.
Speaker 3: That's a few points that Connor already on this other.
Speaker 6: I like this, That's what I'm saying. Like they're both
Speaker 6: really sweet, and it's like everybody can be sweet on
Speaker 6: the first date, Like let's yeah, let's see what this
Speaker 6: is like after a couple. I don't want to burn
Speaker 6: a bridge.
Speaker 1: Okay, but but you're burning a bridge right now by
Speaker 1: not responding to him.
Speaker 2: All you're doing is liking his text.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean I just don't want to lead anyone on,
Speaker 6: and I don't know, maybe I'm not going about it
Speaker 6: the right way. So it's like, yes, I'm definitely still
Speaker 6: interested in Connor, but I also don't want him to
Speaker 6: think that I'm like both feet in gun ho right
Speaker 6: out the gate and then him like, oh this doesn't
Speaker 6: work out and then like be like really crushing.
Speaker 1: I think you are going eighty steps ahead of yourself here.
Speaker 2: You guys have had one lunch date.
Speaker 1: You know. I think if you were just honest with
Speaker 1: him and told him you liked him, that would make
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that make you feel good as a guy?
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, that's why I'm willing to go out
Speaker 6: with him. I mean, everything you're saying makes sense, So
Speaker 6: I guess we'll make me think about this a little
Speaker 6: bit differently.
Speaker 3: Well, I think Connor would feel very reassured if you
Speaker 3: actually relayed that message to him, because he's in the
Speaker 3: middle right now, unsure of where you're at. We're voting
Speaker 3: for Connor. Text unfair, Oh textingte text Connor. Well, I
Speaker 3: think there's a very good opportunity. I don't think I
Speaker 3: don't think we need any of that, because there's a
Speaker 3: good chance for you to tell him those feelings directly,
Speaker 3: since he is already on the phone right now waiting
Speaker 3: to speak with you.
Speaker 6: Oh well, that's awkward.
Speaker 3: Okay, Like I said, that's what we enjoy about this segment.
Speaker 3: So yeah, Brook and Jeffrey Island. Connor, are you there?
Speaker 3: Do you want to say hi to Ainsley?
Speaker 5: I didn't know you were hanging out with somebody else,
Speaker 5: but I guess that's cool.
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, So like it, like it wouldn't bother you
Speaker 6: if I'm kind of just seeing you both for a
Speaker 6: couple of weeks and seeing who I really connect with.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know if it bothers me, but I
Speaker 5: think it's a little weird.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like, what does that mean?
Speaker 3: Connor? Don't blow this you You had a yes when
Speaker 3: I was talking to her that she already wanted to
Speaker 3: see you, but suddenly you came on. You say one
Speaker 3: thing and it's flipped to and I don't know, stick.
Speaker 5: Up for yourself.
Speaker 1: No, wait, why are you being defended like I'm confused, Connor?
Speaker 1: Because you told us you had other options too. I mean,
Speaker 1: isn't that what dating is?
Speaker 5: Listen, don't tell her that. I mean that was between
Speaker 5: you and me, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Birk, what are you doing? You're trying to submarine him?
Speaker 1: She has options, he has everyone who's singles what it is.
Speaker 3: It's something that we all acknowledge, but we don't actually
Speaker 3: talk about book. It's a secret.
Speaker 2: Well that's the problem.
Speaker 1: It doesn't need to be a secret, Connor. You don't
Speaker 1: need to, like feign like you're upset about it. You
Speaker 1: can't be upset about it if you're doing the same thing.
Speaker 3: You don't have to have anybody tell you how to
Speaker 3: feel about how to live your life. Connor, It's okay,
Speaker 3: just talk to Ainsley.
Speaker 5: Honestly, I'm not upset about it. Right. This is the surprise.
Speaker 5: I thought you and me was really trying to work
Speaker 5: this out. You just seem like a dope, awesome person.
Speaker 5: I kind of feel like we're a good match.
Speaker 2: That is so cute, Ainsley.
Speaker 6: Listen, Connor, I honestly, it's really sweet, and I really
Speaker 6: do appreciate how genuine you are, and you seem like
Speaker 6: a really good guy. So I mean, yeah, I mean
Speaker 6: I do think we could probably go out again. You know,
Speaker 6: just see what happens.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're back, Connor. Well done.
Speaker 5: It's amazing to hear. I just kind of want to
Speaker 5: be on the same page with you. So you're going
Speaker 5: to pass on this next guy, right, because we're chilling,
Speaker 5: We're getting to know each other, what you know. I'm
Speaker 5: just trying to figure this out, right, So are you
Speaker 5: saying you want to see me? Or are you want
Speaker 5: to still see him? Or like what's going on?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 6: Okay, So like now you're giving off some pretty serious
Speaker 6: jealous vibes and I'm really not into that.
Speaker 2: I know that that's the case.
Speaker 1: I mean, Connor, you would be doing the same thing right,
Speaker 1: like you would be only skin her.
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not
Speaker 5: seeing anybody.
Speaker 6: You literally just said you had other options, Like, maybe
Speaker 6: it's a better idea we don't go out.
Speaker 1: Wait again, Ainsley, here's the thing like, how do you
Speaker 1: He's just saying, let's really actually try this instead of not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Connor, remind her of the good times that you
Speaker 3: two had together.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we bonded over Love Island. I gave you the
Speaker 5: friendship bracelet and in this necklist.
Speaker 6: Yeah okay, I did like that. Maybe maybe we should
Speaker 6: hang out then?
Speaker 3: Okay, well, okay, it's at this point I cautioned Connor
Speaker 3: to not say any other words whatsoever, because anything that
Speaker 3: you say could have a detrimental impact on Ainsley's decision
Speaker 3: here for a second date.
Speaker 2: Maybe they should just go to a movie so they
Speaker 2: don't have to talk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just gonna officially ask now, now that she
Speaker 3: seems to be on board again, Connor, are you still
Speaker 3: cool with this? Do you want to hang out with Ainsley?
Speaker 5: Honestly? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Oh Connor, dude, you all you had to say is yes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, but I just don't know if we should.
Speaker 2: This is what just make a choice.
Speaker 3: So now, Connor, you don't want to go out with Ainsley?
Speaker 5: Oh my god, Okay, listen, I really thought I liked you.
Speaker 5: I thought you liked me with other guys. That's cool,
Speaker 5: that's fine. But listen, I do have another girl, okay,
Speaker 5: and I think she's a little more sure about what
Speaker 5: she wants.
Speaker 3: You guys sleep around then okay, we've come to an agreement.
Speaker 3: They both have other options that they want to explore first,
Speaker 3: and if those don't work out, they'll come back to
Speaker 3: each other.
Speaker 2: This is why people give up on duty.
Speaker 3: So Ainsley, it looks like officially it's a no and
Speaker 3: a yes and another no and then yes and yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: So yeah, this was a lot. Thanks for calling and
Speaker 6: ruiney my day a little bit, I guess, But.
Speaker 2: We also made it better at the same time.
Speaker 6: Right, yeah, I mean yeah, at least I know Connor
Speaker 6: is no longer an option.
Speaker 5: Are you sure about that?
Speaker 2: Oh my god?
Speaker 3: Connor hanging enough brooking Jeffrey in the morning. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: that was so frustrating to be a part of. I'm
Speaker 3: so glad it's over.
Speaker 2: It's awful.
Speaker 3: And I thought Brooke brought up a really good point
Speaker 3: about how was It was like the perfect snapshot of
Speaker 3: what modern dating is and how uncertain everybody is. Nobody
Speaker 3: wants to commit to anything at all anymore.
Speaker 2: I mean, I get it.
Speaker 1: It's like going to a restaurant like the Cheesecake Factory,
Speaker 1: and the menu's too big and you can never make
Speaker 1: up your mind.
Speaker 2: Yes, many flavors out there.
Speaker 3: You just got to come back once every day, get
Speaker 3: one thing off the men until you've gone through the
Speaker 3: whole thing, or.
Speaker 2: You just stick to the one thing you like.
Speaker 3: Maybe. Yeah, it is funny that these two were kind
Speaker 3: of like a real couple on Love Island, weighing their
Speaker 3: options and waffling back and forth, except in the end
Speaker 3: they voted each other off. So yeah, the good news is,
Speaker 3: we don't vote anybody off the Brook and Jeffrey Island.
Speaker 3: Just go to our podcast, have a drink, stay awhile,
Speaker 3: take your pants off, listen to all of our second
Speaker 3: dates online wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 2: Talkt about that. I bet a lot of people do
Speaker 2: have their pants off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we support that. Okay, you find them online
Speaker 3: at Broken Jeffrey
