Speaker 1: Second. You know, recently, I was on a dating app Okay,
Speaker 1: trying to find matches for Jose, and honestly, it was
Speaker 1: really difficult. Not because of what Jose wants, you know,
Speaker 1: because he'll go out with pretty much anything. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying that as a single person, it's got to be
Speaker 1: hard because the appis field was so many odd people,
Speaker 1: like with photos wearing tons of makeup and filters, or
Speaker 1: someone that's standing alone in a swamp holding a sign
Speaker 1: up that says still single. I don't know, is that
Speaker 1: supposed to be funny or is it meant to make
Speaker 1: me sad and it makes me feel bad enough to
Speaker 1: go out. All I know is after that experience, I
Speaker 1: really feel for listeners like Steve, who emailed into the
Speaker 1: show today and said he was just happy that her
Speaker 1: profile seemed somewhat normal. You're not looking for a swamp
Speaker 1: girl to go to you with your swamp boy, No,
Speaker 1: not at all, Steve. You and me are singles at
Speaker 1: least we know, but asn't worked out with this girl.
Speaker 1: We always have each other, always Burla wing opportunity maybe,
Speaker 1: but tell us about the woman that you matched with.
Speaker 1: What's her name? Her name? Jamie All right, Is there
Speaker 1: anything exceptional to say about her? Or was she just normal?
Speaker 1: She seemed very normal, super cute, and you know, I
Speaker 1: was raised on a farm, so she didn't necessarily look
Speaker 1: like a country girl. But she looked very sweet and
Speaker 1: innocently so I kind of went with it. She could
Speaker 1: still pick up a bail of hay. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: assuming that that's on your list. What do you do
Speaker 1: with a normal girl for a first date? Well, the
Speaker 1: date that I kind of pitched to her that she
Speaker 1: kind of agreed to was, you know, let's just have
Speaker 1: a date on my family's farm, and you know, I
Speaker 1: can show you what farm life is day to day.
Speaker 1: You know, does that mean that she's like meeting your
Speaker 1: family on the first date? Not necessarily. I mean it
Speaker 1: is the family farm, so we pretty much it's just family.
Speaker 1: It works there. But you know, I just wanted her
Speaker 1: experience how I grew up and you know, my just
Speaker 1: kind of day to day living. So are you are
Speaker 1: you still working on the farm too? Yeah? Part time okay,
Speaker 1: And I imagine all the cute animals are also your family.
Speaker 1: A little pig, yeah, we had the whole nine yards.
Speaker 1: We got a cow's chicken, goat. I will get to
Speaker 1: mister Harvey in a little bit, but mister Harvey, yes,
Speaker 1: that is our goat. Okay, Oh, this is an interesting
Speaker 1: choice for a first day. Like what was her reaction
Speaker 1: when you pitched this idea to her? Well, she seemed
Speaker 1: kind of excited about it. I mean, she didn't voice
Speaker 1: any concerns. I thought her. I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I'll get you some overalls and some boots. Picked her
Speaker 1: up early in the morning. We drove out to the countryside,
Speaker 1: you know, and went to the farm and she got
Speaker 1: dressed and got to work. You know. Okay, that's like work. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I got to stop your for a second. I grew up,
Speaker 1: you know, surrounded by farm life in a tiny little town.
Speaker 1: It's not glamorous. I mean, like to me, it sounds
Speaker 1: like you're shoveling manure. No. I did spare her the manure.
Speaker 1: You know. We picked the eggs for breakfast, and then
Speaker 1: we went out and we melt the cows. We did
Speaker 1: not use the milk for breakfast. But she was into it.
Speaker 1: She seemed kind of thrilled about it. You know, my
Speaker 1: family was off in the back. Okay, So you made
Speaker 1: it like an Instagram friendly event. You did all the
Speaker 1: cute fun stuff, you know, like a photo area stage
Speaker 1: over by the mud bus. So I told her, you know,
Speaker 1: I was like, if you want to feed the pigs,
Speaker 1: it's super simple. It's not really all that mess. And
Speaker 1: she was down with it. But mister Harvey. That's where
Speaker 1: mister Harvey comes in because he kind of just roamed
Speaker 1: the farm. Yes, he's our pet goat. He's kind of
Speaker 1: like our guard dog. Instead of a blue chick hound,
Speaker 1: we have a we have a big goat. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: sometimes a little temperamental when it comes meeting new people.
Speaker 1: Held just nibble on him. Look, did the same thing
Speaker 1: to me on my first day on the show. She
Speaker 1: just came up and started teared my clothes right off.
Speaker 1: I'm part goat. I could I could get behind that putting.
Speaker 1: That did that scare her? Well not at first. I
Speaker 1: mean at first I think it did, but it wasn't
Speaker 1: until he kind of started getting a little aggressive with
Speaker 1: it because I had turned my back for a minute
Speaker 1: and I turned back around and she was pretty much
Speaker 1: almost on all fours just getting chewed up. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: describing Brooks to a tea here, getting flashbacks of my
Speaker 1: own life. I mean, she did laugh about it, so
Speaker 1: I just I took it as just one of those things.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you've ever tried to milk a goat,
Speaker 1: you know how scary they can be. Small enclosed area.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a mostly brook experience at least. So
Speaker 1: I mean, how did how did the date end for you? There? Well,
Speaker 1: we had we had lunch with my parents and everybody.
Speaker 1: I mean, I introduced her as my new friend, but
Speaker 1: I didn't want it. I wanted to kind of seem normal,
Speaker 1: like not too serious, like you're meeting our parents, my
Speaker 1: parents on the first date. Okay, okay, we agreed to
Speaker 1: the farm date. Do you bring a lot of women
Speaker 1: out to the farm to meet everybody? Or is this
Speaker 1: a new thing with now that's honestly, this is the
Speaker 1: first time thing. I thought it'd be kind of cool
Speaker 1: to get out of the city, and so the launch
Speaker 1: went fine, and I told her said, you know, Nick, date,
Speaker 1: you pick city, whatever you want to do, we'll do it.
Speaker 1: And she hasn't returned to any of my ticks. Are
Speaker 1: you regretting the farm date idea since she hasn't writing
Speaker 1: you back? Or do you think it's something else I'm
Speaker 1: beginning to think it might have been a bad idea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I disagree. I think if she's a city girl, you
Speaker 1: bring it to the farsight, bringing someone to a zoo,
Speaker 1: you do something to see you don't work at the zoo,
Speaker 1: but you don't work though. He said, you made it
Speaker 1: wide and she just got to kind of hang around.
Speaker 1: I think maybe mister Harvey swooped in on your girl.
Speaker 1: He stole it from you. But we're gonna find out.
Speaker 1: We're gonna call Jamie here in just a second and
Speaker 1: get your second date update right after this. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you? All right, hold on the second date. You know,
Speaker 1: old McDonald may have had a farm, but old mcstevo
Speaker 1: had a date. Oh yeah, yeah, yoh like this. And
Speaker 1: on his date there was a Jamie yeah yeah, yoh
Speaker 1: with a farm chore. Here in a farm chore. There,
Speaker 1: here's my mom, here's my dad, here's a go that's bad.
Speaker 1: That was good. But Steve did take Jamie to his
Speaker 1: family farm. And I think the overwhelming thought in studio
Speaker 1: right now is that Jamie probably didn't want to spend
Speaker 1: the whole time doing farm work. I mean, it almost
Speaker 1: sounds like your family was using it as a ploy
Speaker 1: to get free labor. Yeah, I wouldn't say that. I
Speaker 1: thought she was having fun. Okay, okay, labor can be fun.
Speaker 1: She was having fun. This is like a one you know,
Speaker 1: life not lifetime, but it's like random thing. I mean, Josie,
Speaker 1: would you like to do that for a first date,
Speaker 1: Once in a a lifetime opportunity? The animals. It sounds like
Speaker 1: you want to go to a petting Yeah. Yeah, farm
Speaker 1: almos sound like a heavy petting zoo. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you do not want to drink fresh milk really makes
Speaker 1: me vomit every time. Yeah to p Yeah, that sounds
Speaker 1: kind of fun. But maybe we should start a business
Speaker 1: after this is over. But we have a job to
Speaker 1: do on the show, and that's to call Jamie and
Speaker 1: figure out why she's not calling Steve back. So Steve,
Speaker 1: you're ready to do this? Yeah, I'm ready. Let's do
Speaker 1: it right. Here we go. Farmhand, Jamie, farmhand, that's what
Speaker 1: people who work on a farm. Yeah, okay, here we go. Hello.
Speaker 1: Hey is this Jamie? Yeah, hey Jamie. My name is
Speaker 1: jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: we need some extra help around the radio station and
Speaker 1: we heard you are excellent. I'm sorry. What is this about? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was strange. This is about a segment that we're
Speaker 1: doing called a second Date Update, and we're trying to
Speaker 1: help one of our listeners named Steve get back in
Speaker 1: touch with you after you went on a date. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that was our big old side there, Jamie. Was that
Speaker 1: a good sigh or a bad sign? It's not a
Speaker 1: great sigh. I'll tell you that. Okay, we've already spoken
Speaker 1: to Steve about your first day with him, and we've
Speaker 1: heard his side of the story. We're interested in getting
Speaker 1: your side of the story, to know what you thought
Speaker 1: about him and his family farm. Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: he didn't say his family farm. Oh he didn't know.
Speaker 1: He said, hey, do you want to go to the
Speaker 1: farm for French? That's like, oh, I love that you
Speaker 1: didn't know his family was going to be there. Wait,
Speaker 1: you love that place? Like the farm is in like
Speaker 1: some hit brunch spot. Yes, it's really hit. So I
Speaker 1: thought we were going to have French. We weren't going
Speaker 1: to an actual farm. Oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: He thought that you understood. He didn't think that you
Speaker 1: thought bottomless mimosas it was not clear in our conversation.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was my father and his fault.
Speaker 1: But as soon as we pulled to a farm, his farm,
Speaker 1: his parents are there opening the door, like rereading me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is happening? Well, to be fair, nothing
Speaker 1: is more hipster than going to the actual farm is
Speaker 1: slaughtered dude. I was not I was not against it,
Speaker 1: but I had a night the night before. I was
Speaker 1: a little hungover. I was expecting, you know, mimosa's an
Speaker 1: avocado toast. I was not expecting to be feeling hay
Speaker 1: and snucking cows. She'll wait a minute, though, Like his
Speaker 1: parents opened the door, they hand you a set of coveralls,
Speaker 1: like why didn't you say something like that? You had
Speaker 1: no idea. Honestly, I was a little out of it,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, just get through this.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a story to tell. Plus that would
Speaker 1: be really rude to just get out of the car
Speaker 1: and his parents are like, hey, nice to meet you,
Speaker 1: and she'd be like, she didn't I didn't want to
Speaker 1: be here. She wouldn't have to say that. She could say,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I had no idea. You meant a
Speaker 1: literal farm, like that doesn't look in front of the parents,
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, that's a lot of hours you spent
Speaker 1: with his family. It was a lot of hours. And
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, we got them eggs and them
Speaker 1: cows whatever. I thought, Okay, we had a nice breakfast.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, all right, that's good. That was it.
Speaker 1: But it kept going on and on, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, how do I get out of this.
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, obviously it was a total shock. You
Speaker 1: didn't plan on any of it. But was there any
Speaker 1: moments between you and him that were fun? I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, there were some fun moments, like he was
Speaker 1: trying really hard, and I've been on a lot of
Speaker 1: days where that Wasn't it a case we heard mister
Speaker 1: Harvey really liked you. Yeah, he really liked me. And honestly,
Speaker 1: it started out like, oh, this is cute, and then
Speaker 1: it was like, oh my god, I'm going to be
Speaker 1: eaten by a go well. I know, like, not only
Speaker 1: did mister Harvey like you, but Steve really liked you.
Speaker 1: And don't just take my word for it here from
Speaker 1: Steve himself. He's on the other line right now. I
Speaker 1: wants to talk to you Oh my gosh, you're joking, right, No,
Speaker 1: I'm serious. Hi, Jamie. UM, I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding.
Speaker 1: I assumed because the family farm and everything's on my
Speaker 1: profile that you just automatically knew that I meant my farm.
Speaker 1: I've never even heard of this brunch spot, you know.
Speaker 1: I see, Um, yeah, you you know, and just start talking.
Speaker 1: You were like the farm, the farm. You never said
Speaker 1: my family's farm. So I think we had just a
Speaker 1: little bit of miscommunication. Yeah, just the dad. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: apologize for that. I'm so just so used to calling
Speaker 1: at the farm, you know. Um, Honestly, hearing you talk
Speaker 1: about it, it it doesn't seem like you had that good
Speaker 1: of a time as I thought you did. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: I was having as good at a time as I
Speaker 1: could being hungover. I'm not expecting it. I was going
Speaker 1: to be in coveralls and like feeling, Hey, so your
Speaker 1: family is lovely, and I think you're lovely. We didn't
Speaker 1: have enough time to actually get to know each other,
Speaker 1: but it was just unexpected. So Steve, like, how is
Speaker 1: this sitting with you? Hearing her reaction to what her
Speaker 1: expectations were going to the farm, and then what it
Speaker 1: was actually like for her. Yeah, Jamie, it sounds like
Speaker 1: you really had a lot to complain about. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm typically not into complainers because you know,
Speaker 1: I grew up on a farm, so we just kind
Speaker 1: of sucked it up and pushed through it and dealt
Speaker 1: with it and got what needed to be done done. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was getting that same vibe when I was hearing
Speaker 1: her talk about it. The top three things that you
Speaker 1: enjoyed while you were there, top five? Then I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to fit into your family. This was like a
Speaker 1: first date. So like I'm complaining because there wasn't clear communication.
Speaker 1: Sorry about that, but relationships are built on clear communication.
Speaker 1: So yeah, do you understand that, Steve, because it's like
Speaker 1: she's complaining your acting as if she worked on the
Speaker 1: farm and she's a bad employee, is what it sounds like. Yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: that's not what I'm trying to sound like. To quote you,
Speaker 1: there was some miscommunication that I do apologize about that, Um,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that we couldn't try something else
Speaker 1: because you did agree to possibly having a date in
Speaker 1: the city later on. Oh well, you know I did
Speaker 1: agree to that, But after hearing you say that I
Speaker 1: was complaining about a situation that I think, Oh, now
Speaker 1: you're going to complain about the way that well that
Speaker 1: was if I could interrupt, I mean that was clear communication.
Speaker 1: I just communicated my feelings about the situation to you,
Speaker 1: and I think, honestly, you're not understanding in my shoes
Speaker 1: of what it would feel like to not be like
Speaker 1: aware and prepared for the situation that I was in.
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's understanding, and it's just he's being
Speaker 1: a little defensive of his own family. You know. It
Speaker 1: feels like you're getting he's getting the text. It sounds
Speaker 1: like a classic example of a guy giving a woman
Speaker 1: exactly what she asked for and getting blamed forgiving you
Speaker 1: just apologizing, he's trying to communicate. He's saying, clearly it
Speaker 1: was bad communication, and then Jamie's like, no, you didn't
Speaker 1: do it the way I wanted. Well, he did kind
Speaker 1: of attack her for compaigning, and now he's getting it
Speaker 1: from the host of the show. I just think everybody
Speaker 1: needs to take a deep breath. I think this could work.
Speaker 1: Starting with you would be great because I would like
Speaker 1: to send you two out on a nice second date
Speaker 1: where you have great communication there's no farm work needed
Speaker 1: to be done, just like Brooks still breathing over there
Speaker 1: on coveralls or whatever they're called. And I just connected
Speaker 1: that his name Steve and his goat is mister Hart. Yeah. Look,
Speaker 1: and there's not going to be any mister Harvey on
Speaker 1: the date, but there will be a little bit of
Speaker 1: nibbling going on. Are you going to send this to
Speaker 1: the farm the brunch spot? Is what I mean. I
Speaker 1: would be up for that because I knew nothing about this,
Speaker 1: and apparently she was super excited to go there. And yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go, Jamie, take Steve to the farm and
Speaker 1: make him feel super uncomfortable because he doesn't know how
Speaker 1: it works. Well, you know what. The positive thing is
Speaker 1: that he did really go over and above. And there's
Speaker 1: very few dates that I have been on where someone
Speaker 1: actually cared enough. I mean, it was carrying a little
Speaker 1: bit mess to me. His family so fast, but I
Speaker 1: guess i'd be open to it. Jay, you're open to it, Steve?
Speaker 1: What do you say? Um? Sounds great to me. And
Speaker 1: I apologize about my family. They're they're lovely. It was
Speaker 1: just so fast, against all odds, we got a successful
Speaker 1: second date. All right. Now, let's agree on a safe
Speaker 1: word up front. What do you want yours to be.
Speaker 1: I don't know how your guys a second dates work,
Speaker 1: but that's how it goes in my neighborhood. Brooke and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning.
