Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to it. It's Monday, and we've got a
Speaker 1: brand new episode for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're glad to treat you that way and today.
Speaker 2: You know, typically we do comments from Alexis because she
Speaker 2: gathers them all from our podcast page, but we also
Speaker 2: have a textboard. Yeah, dude, you can reach us in
Speaker 2: so many ways. You can text into the show seven eight,
Speaker 2: five nine two. Now there's one caveat on this. We
Speaker 2: can read international text, but we can't respond. Yeah. I
Speaker 2: always type out the whole message that I click said
Speaker 2: it if I can't, so we.
Speaker 1: Do read them. If you don't get a response to us,
Speaker 1: we apologize.
Speaker 2: But we have one today about our second date and
Speaker 2: Jose what does it say?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it says thank you, Brooke, I didn't need strawberry
Speaker 3: blowout in my Monday imagery.
Speaker 1: About what fun you have ahead? Oh yeah, let's get
Speaker 1: your new episode started right now, Brooke and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the morning. Second date updates.
Speaker 3: We've talked before about how farmers' markets can be fun
Speaker 3: dates because you get to walk around, browse the produce,
Speaker 3: maybe show your sensual side and gently squeeze and heirloom tomato.
Speaker 4: Ah, don't squeeze too hard job?
Speaker 3: Why was that sexual? Clicking your cards?
Speaker 5: Red?
Speaker 3: That could be you wait, but I don't want to
Speaker 3: be How do you level that up even farther? Why
Speaker 3: not take your date to an entire food themed festival? Yeah,
Speaker 3: just saying like, just saying that sounds like it could
Speaker 3: be a guaranteed lock for another hangout because you guys
Speaker 3: won't fight about where you want to eat. But for
Speaker 3: some reason that isn't happening for our listener, Clark, so
Speaker 3: he's requested some help today. Clark, Welcome to the show Man.
Speaker 5: Hey, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to hear about this food experience. Is it
Speaker 2: like food trucks?
Speaker 1: What are we working with here?
Speaker 5: Oh? We went to the Strawberry Festival.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, I don't just set it up wrong again,
Speaker 6: like a Boysonberry festival or something like that.
Speaker 2: It is like jumpy houses and one grandma selling some stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe his was a different experience.
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry for all the hate that you got immediately
Speaker 3: on your date idea there Italy Okay, yeah, not high
Speaker 3: budget enough for this group.
Speaker 5: But I feel like I've maybe learned the issue already.
Speaker 1: Well, it's just it's not hot. I'll say that it's cute.
Speaker 3: You can't say that when you don't know anything about
Speaker 3: what happened on the date. I don't think that's a
Speaker 3: fair thing. What about the name of the woman that
Speaker 3: you went with? I went with easy Brook doesn't like
Speaker 3: that either.
Speaker 1: He sounds fun. I assume you guys met on a
Speaker 1: dating app.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we met on the apps, and I mean,
Speaker 5: her picture struck me as somebody is really kind and
Speaker 5: I'm going, of course, beautiful, but I don't know. I
Speaker 5: just you know, got the jive from her and I thought, hey,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna message her.
Speaker 3: Okay, so clearly it's photoshopped, but yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2: You can't photoshop kindness, Jeff, Okay, that's a different type
Speaker 2: of trade.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sure I stigured it out. Okay, So
Speaker 3: let's get to what you guys did on your date
Speaker 3: at the Strawberry Fest.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we wanted to go to have the world
Speaker 5: famous strawberry shortcake.
Speaker 3: That's nice.
Speaker 5: And here's the thing, Like the line was huge, but
Speaker 5: it wasn't so bad because you know, it was a
Speaker 5: nice day. We could talk and start to get to
Speaker 5: know each other, and then the day just starts to
Speaker 5: get weird because we get to the front of the
Speaker 5: line and the girl says, I'm sorry, we ran out
Speaker 5: of strawberries.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, what at the strawberry.
Speaker 5: Strawberries at a strawberry festival.
Speaker 3: Well, they're so popular, the shortcakes are so such high demand.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously everyone in the world knows about.
Speaker 3: Him globally well known. What'd you do?
Speaker 5: But so it turns out she's like, look, I just
Speaker 5: need like a half hour to prepare some more. So
Speaker 5: we killed some time. We come back to the front
Speaker 5: of the line again and she's like, hey, I'm all set,
Speaker 5: but it's okay if yours doesn't have whipped cream because
Speaker 5: I ran out of that day.
Speaker 3: I'll be sympathetic.
Speaker 1: I'm sure this poor worker is like having.
Speaker 2: The business er store and buy someone the only one
Speaker 2: there is, like it's a massive attraction at this stupid festival,
Speaker 2: or it happened.
Speaker 3: In someone's backyard and it was like their little personal guardene.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The thing I hate most in the world
Speaker 1: is waiting in line. So where are your guys?
Speaker 2: Is like patience level right now because you're hungry, angry.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, so here's the thing I knew if he
Speaker 5: was hungry. I didn't want to make a scene in
Speaker 5: front of her. But I'm like, dude, this was the
Speaker 5: whole reason you come here. So I asked for a discount.
Speaker 5: I'm like, if I'm not getting the full dessert, then
Speaker 5: give me a discount, give me a reduced price.
Speaker 3: It's like, what's wrong with that, brooke?
Speaker 1: Well, it's like if you're with somebody, you know, I
Speaker 1: get it.
Speaker 2: But also now we're arguing with the worker because you're
Speaker 2: also upset, Clark.
Speaker 3: Did you argue with the strawberry lady? Oh?
Speaker 5: No, no, But I was like, hey, you know we've
Speaker 5: had to come back twice. This isn't the product you're selling.
Speaker 5: Can you give us a reduced price?
Speaker 1: And okay, did you get what you wanted? Because that
Speaker 1: may be a victory.
Speaker 5: No. In the end, I just kind of gave up
Speaker 5: and I was like, all right, whatever. So we go
Speaker 5: to a picnic table, We eat our dessert. We start
Speaker 5: talking more than about our favorite desserts.
Speaker 1: Which it is probably not the one sitting in front
Speaker 1: of you.
Speaker 3: The dry strawberry pound cake.
Speaker 5: I'll wait for it. Hers is BlackBerry cobbler. Of course,
Speaker 5: mine is strawberry shortcake with freaking whip cream.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, okay, so the frustration might be starting to show,
Speaker 3: even if you're trying to hide it totally.
Speaker 2: It's like, you guys have covered this eight times in
Speaker 2: the line while you're waiting there as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, look, I'm making a bigger deal out
Speaker 5: of it than it really was. Like I was frustrated,
Speaker 5: but I knew I was on a date, so you know,
Speaker 5: I kept my cool.
Speaker 3: Okay, well after the nuclear strawberry blowout? How did the
Speaker 3: date end?
Speaker 1: Glad we're not over dramatizing either.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I mean we walk around some more, saw
Speaker 5: some live music. There was a jam judging contest. You
Speaker 5: know that was kind of fun jamboree if you will.
Speaker 3: Oh, they should have you on the PR team for
Speaker 3: the Strawberry and I would have been jamming. Okay, okaye,
Speaker 3: what was that?
Speaker 5: Mark?
Speaker 1: I mean, they're doing puns, jam puns right now? What
Speaker 1: were you saying?
Speaker 5: Yeah? So eventually she's like, hey, I'm having a good
Speaker 5: time that I should probably start heading home, And I said, oh,
Speaker 5: you know, we haven't seen the cutest straw baby contest yet.
Speaker 5: People dressed their kids up.
Speaker 3: Oh that's amazing.
Speaker 5: But look, I walked her to her car. We had
Speaker 5: a hug. It was nice. I haven't heard back from
Speaker 5: her since.
Speaker 3: Okay, how long has it been since you last had
Speaker 3: contact with Izzy?
Speaker 5: Oh it's been like a couple of weeks. That's a
Speaker 5: long time.
Speaker 1: What do you think what's going on?
Speaker 5: I mean between the strawberry blowout and her being like, okay,
Speaker 5: I should probably go home now, Like I actually, I'm
Speaker 5: not really sure what happened.
Speaker 3: His frustration may have come out a little bit too much,
Speaker 3: like I'm about to have a strawberry blowout. Let's go
Speaker 3: blow up. Okay, we'll blow up her phone when we
Speaker 3: come back and try and get you your second date
Speaker 3: update right after this hold.
Speaker 2: On Man Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning second date updates.
Speaker 3: Imagine a karaoke night with no microphone, a roller coaster
Speaker 3: with no drops.
Speaker 1: Oh I see.
Speaker 3: It's amazing how taking away one little thing can completely
Speaker 3: ruin the entire concept of a fun activity. And that's
Speaker 3: what happened to our listener Clark on his first date
Speaker 3: at the Strawberry Festival, when he was served a strawberry
Speaker 3: shortcake with no whipped cream.
Speaker 1: After waiting, wait, after waiting, how long in line Clark?
Speaker 5: Oh, man, I don't even know. It was way beyond
Speaker 5: a half hour forty five minutes. Maybe because we had
Speaker 5: to wait in line twice.
Speaker 3: Yes, first when they ran out of strawberries, then when
Speaker 3: they had no whipped cream. So he tried not to
Speaker 3: make a big deal out of it, other than haggling
Speaker 3: over the price, but that didn't work. Yeah, so now
Speaker 3: he's not getting a call back, which begs the question.
Speaker 3: Was Clark's big public strawberry blowout too big of a
Speaker 3: turn off for Easy?
Speaker 2: I will say, when I'm anticipating something so much and
Speaker 2: I wait for it for so long, and then I
Speaker 2: get it and I'm disappointed, I can't let it go,
Speaker 2: like stop complaining.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we get it.
Speaker 3: Well, I know Clark has been anticipating this phone call
Speaker 3: we're about to make for quite a while.
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a disappointment too.
Speaker 3: Well, let's not jump there. We'll see what the real
Speaker 3: issue is. Hopefully she picks up the phone. I'm a
Speaker 3: dollar number right now here we go. Hello, Hey, we're
Speaker 3: looking to speak with Easy.
Speaker 7: This is Hey?
Speaker 6: Is he?
Speaker 3: This is a radio show we're on in the mornings
Speaker 3: called Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. He is he
Speaker 3: we did there with the name. What if we were
Speaker 3: Brook and Jeffrey at night but we're on in the morning,
Speaker 3: that'd be confusing, crazy, Okay.
Speaker 1: I know, not a very funny show.
Speaker 3: Not yet it happens, Yeah, Brook, save us, go for it.
Speaker 1: Just tell her we're calling please.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, we're calling because this is a segment we do.
Speaker 3: It's called second Date Update and oh lord, yeah, I
Speaker 3: know it wasn't my first choice for a career, but
Speaker 3: here I am. So the reason that we're calling you
Speaker 3: is because apparently you met up with a guy named
Speaker 3: Clark two weeks ago.
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, Okay, what am I supposed to say?
Speaker 2: Well, is it just you're not calling him back because
Speaker 2: you're so busy and you meant to and you can't
Speaker 2: wait to see him again.
Speaker 3: We just we just want to know what it was like,
Speaker 3: because he did tell us about the date a little bit,
Speaker 3: and men to a few fun things that you did together,
Speaker 3: also a few frustrating things that may have happened, at
Speaker 3: least for him.
Speaker 7: Okay, like the strawberry shortcake place that ran out of
Speaker 7: basically the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Exactly, how was standing in line for you.
Speaker 7: I mean, the whole thing was ridiculous. You know, it
Speaker 7: was just like it was a strawberry festival. How do
Speaker 7: you mess that up?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we understood that. But one of the things that
Speaker 3: he mentioned that I thought was kind of interesting is
Speaker 3: he said he attempted to haggle with the lady over
Speaker 3: the price of the shortcake with no whip cream. And
Speaker 3: we weren't sure if that experience may have been a
Speaker 3: turn off for you or how you felt about that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean he should have, like I agreed, like
Speaker 7: he should have. That was ridiculous. They should be giving
Speaker 7: it discount. There's no whipped cream, like what okay?
Speaker 3: And the fact that the girls selling it was six
Speaker 3: years old, that didn't make a difference.
Speaker 2: I mean, what a bummer for him though, right, Like
Speaker 2: he wants to take you here or he wants to
Speaker 2: show you something cool, have this experience, and the whole
Speaker 2: thing is just deflated by their lack of preparation.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, whatever, it didn't ruin the whole day.
Speaker 7: You know, it's being fine eating.
Speaker 3: So I guess we're kind of in the dark here
Speaker 3: about why exactly you're not reaching out to him.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm just kind of pretty sure he's dealing
Speaker 7: with like a situationship or something like you're another girl
Speaker 7: that he might be dating, or like maybe some fact situation.
Speaker 3: Why would you say that?
Speaker 1: Did you think one of the babies at the straw
Speaker 1: Baby festival.
Speaker 3: That's why he wanted to see No.
Speaker 7: No, it was there was text messages that kept coming
Speaker 7: up on his phone like the entire day, and it
Speaker 7: was like some girl named Ginger. Like one time he
Speaker 7: was grabbing napkins and I could see the message like
Speaker 7: clearly wrote Ginger needs you, and then like he looked
Speaker 7: at it, he rolled his eyes, and I don't know.
Speaker 7: I was just kind of even like, I know it's
Speaker 7: not his sister, because he had mentioned that he was
Speaker 7: an only child, right, So I'm just I don't know.
Speaker 7: I'm not looking to get involved in drama, especially if
Speaker 7: there's like another woman involved.
Speaker 3: Okay, the drama was too much for you.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's just a simple question to
Speaker 2: him talking a first date.
Speaker 3: He cares, it's not overly sexual. It's a simple question
Speaker 3: that we could ask him right now. Actually, because you
Speaker 3: don't know this, but Clark's been on the other line
Speaker 3: listening to this call waiting to talk to you. Oh fun,
Speaker 3: I believe that, Clark.
Speaker 5: Are you there? Yeah? I mean, come on, this is crazy,
Speaker 5: so literally, that's the reason you're not calling back.
Speaker 4: Maybe start with the high Clark, don't He didn't say
Speaker 4: she's great, he said this is crazyated, Well.
Speaker 5: I mean, why didn't you just ask me?
Speaker 7: I just don't want to get involved, honestly, get involved.
Speaker 5: With who like my roomba?
Speaker 1: What is that a joke?
Speaker 5: So Ginger is the name I gave my roomba?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 7: I so honestly believe.
Speaker 3: That, Clark explain.
Speaker 5: So, look, when you buy a new roomba, you name
Speaker 5: it and it can text you updates on what it's doing.
Speaker 1: I mean, we named ours Alice cars.
Speaker 7: That's not believable. And it's like, honestly, if you're really
Speaker 7: sticking with that story, like, I don't know, maybe I
Speaker 7: should talk to her in your number?
Speaker 3: What you want Ginger's number?
Speaker 5: Ye o, fine, I mean it's not how it works.
Speaker 5: You actually have to be in the same room and
Speaker 5: sync with her.
Speaker 7: Oh I see, so you're trying to get me back
Speaker 7: to your place so that I can sing when you're vas.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Next thing, you know, my talk comes off.
Speaker 1: What is happening is are.
Speaker 7: All like you'll want one thing, We'll make up anything
Speaker 7: to get a girl, like a roomba. Like this is
Speaker 7: on another level.
Speaker 5: Okay, why do.
Speaker 3: I see like a guy has asked you to sink
Speaker 3: with his appliances before.
Speaker 1: You need to take a deep breath.
Speaker 2: I think that he might be telling the truth and
Speaker 2: you might have a clean house.
Speaker 7: Yes, okay, so while we're on a first date looking
Speaker 7: at your phone, you're chatting in your vacuum and that
Speaker 7: was like more.
Speaker 5: What happened was is she got stuck and needed my help. Basically,
Speaker 5: she needed help.
Speaker 7: Kids your priorities, right, So like if I'm believing your
Speaker 7: story that like your vacuum cleaner was texting you, it's like, okay,
Speaker 7: your vacuum cleaner at first, then the whip cream a second,
Speaker 7: and then me bird in terms of priority.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, wow, I don't know how we got to
Speaker 3: this point.
Speaker 5: I mean when you put it like that, I guess
Speaker 5: that seems like it was true. But look, we were
Speaker 5: just hanging out. We're not in a relationship or anything.
Speaker 7: I don't think your room is kicking priority over me.
Speaker 1: So now, now you first he was lying and it
Speaker 1: was a woman.
Speaker 2: He was trying to get you to take your top off,
Speaker 2: and now you're still mad even when you believe it's
Speaker 2: a vacuum.
Speaker 7: Either way, it doesn't work for me right, Like if
Speaker 7: it's a rumba, then like, why is he spending all
Speaker 7: of the time on the date like talking to this roomba.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just feels like maybe you're finding a reason
Speaker 2: to be mad about the situation.
Speaker 3: No matter what, unless he was flirtatiously talking to you
Speaker 3: get the rumba to take its top of Clark, I
Speaker 3: don't think you meant to say that your vacuum cleaner
Speaker 3: was the top priority that night, like more important connecting
Speaker 3: with Izzy.
Speaker 5: I mean, look, my vacuum cleaner was stuck in my
Speaker 5: living room. She was alerting me. I'm not.
Speaker 7: I wish that Ginger was like a true real woman
Speaker 7: because it's less pathetic than a man dealing with his
Speaker 7: vacuum cleaner.
Speaker 1: I think it's jealous she doesn't have a room bus.
Speaker 2: That was a low bloody You are the master of
Speaker 2: spin on this one.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think I think at this point I
Speaker 3: need to ask Clark, would you like to go out
Speaker 3: with Izzy or your vacuum cleaner, Ginger either one we
Speaker 3: would pay for that date.
Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, this thing has fallen so far off
Speaker 5: the rails. I think I'm good. I almost regret calling.
Speaker 1: You have some closure.
Speaker 3: You're turning down Isy and Ginger at the same time,
Speaker 3: you don't want to date either of them.
Speaker 5: Correct, Yeah, I think we're good here.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I think this brings up a good point.
Speaker 1: We should all name our vacuums only male names.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like Gus would not have gotten you in trouble exactly.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, why am I still on the phone.
Speaker 1: No, maybe you're stuck in a corner too in his
Speaker 1: living room?
Speaker 6: Is he?
Speaker 7: You know what?
Speaker 3: I agree with you. You're good to go. You can hang
Speaker 3: up if you want to.
Speaker 5: Buy.
Speaker 3: She doesn't like you, Clark, I'm sorry that went the
Speaker 3: way it went.
Speaker 5: Thank Yeah, I was not expecting that.
Speaker 3: None of us were. But it's a good lesson there
Speaker 3: that whenever you go out with somebody, you need to
Speaker 3: mute Ginger so that she can't reach you, or.
Speaker 1: Just don't run her while you're on a date.
Speaker 5: Oh so now you want me to be controlling? Okay,
Speaker 5: I see how over your appliances.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe E're more.
Speaker 1: Like Izzy than we thought.
Speaker 3: Okay, my dishwasher text me, I need to get that.
Speaker 3: What is in the water right now?
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning text to seventy five
Speaker 3: nine to two says, did jeff really just ask a
Speaker 3: guy if you wanted a date with his vacuum cleaner?
Speaker 1: That's where we're at the show? Huh.
Speaker 3: It looks to be fair. It seems like Ginger's been
Speaker 3: through a lot. She's probably the hardest worker out of
Speaker 3: the three of them, and she deserves a night out
Speaker 3: at Applebee's. Maybe she could suck down some riblets.
Speaker 1: Dude, I wouldn't though.
Speaker 2: I think those vacuum cleaners are way too high may
Speaker 2: and also really needy.
Speaker 1: They're very attention needy.
Speaker 2: They can't just do the job without literally every five
Speaker 2: minutes having to be to whether or not they were
Speaker 2: doing a good job.
Speaker 1: They drive me nuts.
Speaker 3: I don't have one. So does it tell you like
Speaker 3: when it's starting, when it finishes the job, when it's
Speaker 3: messed up?
Speaker 1: Mostly I'm stuck. I'm stuck, Yeah, like stuck in a corner, stuck.
Speaker 2: On a rug, stuck under the couch, this is the
Speaker 2: only thing you have to do.
Speaker 1: How can I not program you for corners? Every house
Speaker 1: has that.
Speaker 3: Fair Back to the dating thing, Is it too much
Speaker 3: to ask that you prioritize your date over your smart
Speaker 3: vacuum on the first night that you meet?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean, was that really her problem?
Speaker 5: Though?
Speaker 1: She came up with a problem every time we tried
Speaker 1: to solve it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Yeah, that may not have even been
Speaker 3: the real issue. She was ready to get off the
Speaker 3: phone as quickly as possible. Hopefully that's not the case
Speaker 3: with you. If you ever need our help, just email
Speaker 3: the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back,
Speaker 3: or that vacuum that too,
