Speaker 4: great addition all caps, there will be international men.
Speaker 2: Let me go if you'd like to join. I just
Speaker 2: appreciate how well you know me, bank you he does.
Speaker 2: She has your number, that's for sure. But there's no
Speaker 2: way that she is going to get a metal you know.
Speaker 4: I'm not even making the podium yet that I'll be
Speaker 4: a good sport.
Speaker 1: Don't worry, all right, you're back to back classic start
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 5: If someone gives you a present, no matter what it is,
Speaker 5: you're expected to show your appreciation.
Speaker 6: Of course, however you see fit.
Speaker 5: You could say, oh, thank you. You could talk about
Speaker 5: how much you've always wanted something like.
Speaker 7: This, that's always the best.
Speaker 6: Or you can do what I do.
Speaker 2: What the heck, jeff that's not how you say things.
Speaker 5: Swap pants with them as a token of gratitude. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but one of our listeners is worried that she messed
Speaker 5: up after her date brought a gift, and afterwards she
Speaker 5: sent him one text that definitely could have been misread
Speaker 5: as being rude and ungrateful.
Speaker 6: He should have stuck with the old their trade off.
Speaker 2: Why are your zippers so loud?
Speaker 7: Yeah they are. You're gonna hear what happened coming up
Speaker 7: in your second date.
Speaker 8: Update next Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning Second date updates.
Speaker 5: Is it okay to bring a gift on a first date? Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. Take as long
Speaker 5: as it's yes, small, thoughtful.
Speaker 7: And I'm a low pressure like a little quirky key
Speaker 7: chain with their name on it, then why not like.
Speaker 9: A small dog.
Speaker 6: Well, that's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, somewhere in the middle, you want to
Speaker 5: avoid something that's too expensive, nothing too over the top romantic,
Speaker 5: because the goal is to just be sweet, not serious.
Speaker 1: If you can link it to some inside joke you
Speaker 1: already have, it's even better.
Speaker 5: You have to absolutely and our listener Allison mentioned a
Speaker 5: gift was involved in her first date recently. I don't
Speaker 5: know the parameters of it or what exactly happens, so
Speaker 5: let's talk to her about it. Allison, Hey, thanks for
Speaker 5: joining us.
Speaker 3: Hi, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: What did you get us as a gift? Oh well, I'm.
Speaker 1: Just saying I thought that she was into gift giving.
Speaker 5: So well, before we get to the gift, let's start
Speaker 5: with who's the guy we're calling and how did you
Speaker 5: meet him?
Speaker 3: Well, his name is Corey, and I met him on
Speaker 3: a dating app.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I'm so curious if you were the gift
Speaker 1: giver receiver in this situation.
Speaker 3: I was actually the receiver.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, It's weird that he would give a gift
Speaker 1: and be that excited about a date.
Speaker 2: And then not be calling you back to another one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 10: So it was kind of my idea.
Speaker 3: I told him that he should bring a little gift
Speaker 3: to make a first impression.
Speaker 2: Oh oh oh, you asked for it. Okay, that really
Speaker 2: changes yea said, not calling while you're on the phone.
Speaker 6: It's good to have a woman who knows what she wants.
Speaker 2: How did he receive that? Did he laugh? At first?
Speaker 2: I would think that someone was joking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a little bit of a joke. But
Speaker 3: also on the other hand, it's also like, well, why
Speaker 3: shouldn't guys come with a little offering, you know, nothing big,
Speaker 3: nothing too crazy.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you're right, but naturally, like the guy
Speaker 9: should already show up with something tiny.
Speaker 1: Not joke from guys, what did you want him to
Speaker 1: bring you?
Speaker 10: That's the thing.
Speaker 3: It's up to him. I think it'd be cute to
Speaker 3: kind of figure out, like, what is he going to
Speaker 3: bring to impressed? But I also told him nothing too serious.
Speaker 5: Okay, so this is more fun. You're not going in
Speaker 5: with big expectations. You're just trying to see how his
Speaker 5: brain works and what type of item he's going to
Speaker 5: get for you. Yeah, okay, So what did he end
Speaker 5: up bringing for you?
Speaker 3: A cinnamon roll scented candle.
Speaker 7: And nothing says romance like cinnabon.
Speaker 2: Like Grandma, but it's safe, right, Yeah? Yeah, he doesn't
Speaker 2: love the smell of cinnamon.
Speaker 6: What was your reaction to that?
Speaker 3: I thought it funny. I mean, throughout the entire date,
Speaker 3: I started calling him b f E, Big fragrance energy.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, there you go.
Speaker 6: Okay, an inside joke.
Speaker 1: Honestly, it's pretty smart of the guy too, because now
Speaker 1: anytime you smell cinnamon rolls, you're going to think of him.
Speaker 3: I did ask him, like why he chose the cinnamon
Speaker 3: rolls sense, and he was like, oh, I imagined you're
Speaker 3: smelling like this, which I thought was kind of cute.
Speaker 6: Interesting.
Speaker 2: Do you work at a mall? Is that maybe why?
Speaker 11: No? I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know why he imagined it.
Speaker 1: I think he probably couldn't come up with another reason,
Speaker 1: and he was just blurting out whatever of.
Speaker 4: The checkout aisle basically okay.
Speaker 6: Take us through the rest of the date.
Speaker 3: I mean, we weren't only talking about candles, but he
Speaker 3: let me text him a candle recommendation list because I
Speaker 3: got into candles a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: Wait, could he have been insulted by that?
Speaker 9: Like maybe, like.
Speaker 7: The implication is, here's a bunch of other candles you
Speaker 7: should buy for me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there are the flavor that you chose because you're wrong.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I would have been insulted if
Speaker 1: I gifted a candle and then I got set back
Speaker 1: better than anything.
Speaker 9: You give someone a ring and they're like, here's better rings.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I didn't think it offended him when it was like
Speaker 3: happening when I said it to him, because we were
Speaker 3: laughing and stuff. Okay, but then at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, I was open for a kiss because it
Speaker 3: was going so well. Yeah, but he just gave me
Speaker 3: a hug and then I was like, Okay, well, maybe
Speaker 3: he's still being a gentleman or something, because I thought
Speaker 3: he was going to ask me in the next forty
Speaker 3: eight hours to go out on the next date, but
Speaker 3: he didn't, Like, maybe he actually was offended. Like you
Speaker 3: guys are saying, did.
Speaker 1: You tell him that he had to bring a present
Speaker 1: on the next date at any point?
Speaker 3: No? No, no, no, no no no. It was kind of
Speaker 3: like a one time thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but with the list that you send in his mind,
Speaker 5: it might be implied that he's expected to show up.
Speaker 9: Oh my gosh, what if you saving up for a candle?
Speaker 6: Or that's all he's like, I just need twelve.
Speaker 2: Dollars more than twelve bucks.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he's raking out. Guy, multiple candles on your list.
Speaker 5: It could be a big problem.
Speaker 9: So see, you overwhelmed him with wax.
Speaker 5: You expected a date within forty eight hours. That hasn't happened.
Speaker 5: How long has it been?
Speaker 10: Maybe a week?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay? And you ever heard anything?
Speaker 3: Nothing? And you know, I'm just pointing because I really
Speaker 3: do like him, and he's really freaking cute, and I
Speaker 3: really thought we had something.
Speaker 1: And it's easy for you to reach out to and
Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, look at my cute candle.
Speaker 2: Here's a picture of it in my house.
Speaker 3: You like that?
Speaker 2: Once you can't keep I don't know. Yeah, every time
Speaker 2: you used the candle.
Speaker 9: I had to blow it out for ten minutes. But
Speaker 9: I'm back. Yeah, here's another picture.
Speaker 2: Don't blow a candle out that soon? My husband?
Speaker 6: Did you do that properly?
Speaker 7: Have you texted him a picture using the candle?
Speaker 10: I did?
Speaker 11: I did?
Speaker 3: I mean the first time, it makes sense, but then
Speaker 3: that was like, awkwardly the last thing that was texted.
Speaker 2: It would be kind of.
Speaker 1: Funny if you took your candle with you everyone, are
Speaker 1: you waiting set them updates?
Speaker 2: Like here's the candle on the bus, don't do that
Speaker 2: the gym together.
Speaker 6: No, okay, let's not laugh. This was a very very
Speaker 6: cute gift, and now we're minimalizing it.
Speaker 5: I feel like there is a really sincere reason that
Speaker 5: he's not calling you serious.
Speaker 2: Okay, jeff I didn't know this serious.
Speaker 5: Making jokes of true romance. So let's try and do
Speaker 5: this the right way. When we come back, we'll call
Speaker 5: Corey and get you your second date update right after this.
Speaker 10: Okay, thank you, hold.
Speaker 8: On broken, Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 12: Second date updates.
Speaker 7: Imagine sticky sweet sugar melting into ribbons of cinnamon spice,
Speaker 7: with the aroma of buttery dough rising into the air
Speaker 7: like temptation itself.
Speaker 9: Oh wow, I think I'm pregnant.
Speaker 2: Did you just make that sexy somehow?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 5: This doesn't just smell good, it seduces the What I
Speaker 5: just described was a gift our listener Allison received on
Speaker 5: her first date, a cinnamon roll scented candle from Corey.
Speaker 2: Most people think of Grandma's, but not Jeff.
Speaker 6: Where my mind goes.
Speaker 7: But afterwards, Corey has disappeared, just like a box of
Speaker 7: cinnabon left in.
Speaker 6: Our break room.
Speaker 5: The one thing Alison things she may have done wrong
Speaker 5: is send him a list of other candle sense that
Speaker 5: she likes, which even Brooke agreed is a little bit presumptuous,
Speaker 5: right Brooke, I.
Speaker 1: Could see it being read wrong. I don't think that
Speaker 1: that was her intention. But you know, I have a
Speaker 1: husband who loves candles, and he has a long list
Speaker 1: of his favorite sense. How to care for the candle,
Speaker 1: how to cut the wick. There is a lot of rules.
Speaker 5: My rule about candles is, whatever you do, don't eat it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and it's a tough one. I have to remind myself
Speaker 5: every time. I know, Allison, you didn't do that right,
Speaker 5: you didn't bite into the same mineral candle?
Speaker 11: No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 6: Okay, good, all right, we can rule.
Speaker 2: We need to ask our listeners.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's true. You never know what happens on
Speaker 5: these second date updates. People end up doing weird stuff
Speaker 5: we never thought of all the time. So let's call
Speaker 5: Corey and find out if he's a candle fiend, just
Speaker 5: like Brook's husband.
Speaker 6: Here we go in a dial his number right now. Hello, Hey,
Speaker 6: we're looking to speak with Corey.
Speaker 10: Speaking.
Speaker 6: Hey, this is a radio show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's up Corey Brook?
Speaker 7: Super cool radio show? Obviously based on what you've just heard. No, Brook,
Speaker 7: super sure, but we're called Brook and Jeffrey.
Speaker 6: In the Morning. I'm just so con so many people, Yeah,
Speaker 6: a lot of people.
Speaker 10: What's going on?
Speaker 5: Well, this is a segment that we do. It's called
Speaker 5: second Date Update. We're trying to help out one of
Speaker 5: our listeners who's asked us to reach out to you,
Speaker 5: a woman you went out with recently named Alison.
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah, first impressions about Alison.
Speaker 10: She's an interesting girl. She's definitely a quirky person.
Speaker 9: Interesting, quirky are good things, right, not always?
Speaker 5: Okay, We know that something must be up because you
Speaker 5: have not reached out to Alison trying to arrange a
Speaker 5: second date, and she just is a little confused about
Speaker 5: why it hasn't happened.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think she's just a little odd.
Speaker 6: Allison's odd.
Speaker 10: Yeah, she's a little odd. She had asked for me
Speaker 10: to bring her a gift to our first date.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean she told us about that, and actually she
Speaker 5: said she really appreciated the gift that you got her.
Speaker 10: Yeah, oh she did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Miss Cinnamon roll Kandle.
Speaker 7: Correct, Yes, I mean okay, is that the reason?
Speaker 10: Well no, so she I don't know if she told you,
Speaker 10: but she actually in fact got me two gifts.
Speaker 2: Wait, she brought you something. She didn't mention that at all.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 10: To be honest, she kind of surprised me because I
Speaker 10: thought I was really the only one who's going to
Speaker 10: be bringing a gift.
Speaker 9: But I love that she set him up like here,
Speaker 9: we give me a gift to test him, and then
Speaker 9: she had a gift to you.
Speaker 2: Guys don't get gifts very often. It seems like that
Speaker 2: would make you feel.
Speaker 6: Special, right, Why are you framing it as a bad thing?
Speaker 10: Well, it wasn't so much like the idea of the gift.
Speaker 10: That was the gifts that she brought that made me
Speaker 10: feel the uneasy uneasy.
Speaker 2: Oh, I am so curious as to what she brought me.
Speaker 9: Not the right stuffed animal.
Speaker 7: Hopefully it's not her baby teeth that she's been saving
Speaker 7: for the right.
Speaker 6: In it. That'd c What was the gift?
Speaker 10: So the first one there was a rock that she
Speaker 10: found on the sidewalk that morning.
Speaker 9: A rock.
Speaker 2: It could be kind of funny, like is it shaped
Speaker 2: like a heart or something?
Speaker 10: You know, No, just a rock. Oh and I just
Speaker 10: thought weird taking it because she said it with her
Speaker 10: lucky rock and she has given it to me, like
Speaker 10: that mean to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's at that point she just found it.
Speaker 2: It can't be that lucky, you know, it's not like it.
Speaker 6: It was lucky for that day.
Speaker 7: Yeah, get yeah, So a rock that she found this morning.
Speaker 7: What was gift number two?
Speaker 10: The second gift she handed me was like a homemade
Speaker 10: coupon book. I don't know, one of those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Like this is good for one BackRub, this
Speaker 1: is good for all.
Speaker 6: Do the dishes they're usually sexy things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they're usually things in relationships.
Speaker 7: Is that what it was?
Speaker 10: One coupon was for one good existential conversation. Another one
Speaker 10: was about like a midnight call where we talk about aliens.
Speaker 6: Aliens specifically.
Speaker 2: You can't talk about those at lunchtime. It's only a conversation.
Speaker 10: The other one was one deep discussion about the meaning
Speaker 10: of socks in society.
Speaker 2: I do a bit of joke. I mean that sounds funny.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well also kind of romantic. Do you know was
Speaker 6: it a joke?
Speaker 10: I mean, she's a bit woo, so it seems like, oh,
Speaker 10: probably on brand for her.
Speaker 13: I just kind of like, kill the mood.
Speaker 2: Socks doesn't turn them on, Jeff, it does you.
Speaker 5: Well, I know how to bring the mood right back up,
Speaker 5: and that's by letting you know that Allison is on
Speaker 5: the other line right now, listening, waiting to talk to
Speaker 5: you about alien conspiracy theories.
Speaker 6: So go ahead, Allison, what midnight?
Speaker 3: Hey Cory, Allison, what are you doing? I really thought
Speaker 3: the date went great, honestly, and I'm a little shocked
Speaker 3: right now that you're finding that little coupon book I
Speaker 3: made you weird. I think it's fun, especially like the
Speaker 3: docks of society, like docs are underrated, Like they say
Speaker 3: a lot about culture, personality.
Speaker 11: Like way more than people realize.
Speaker 10: Okay, it just was a bit odd for the first
Speaker 10: time eating Allison.
Speaker 2: It's a little strange that you didn't bring it up
Speaker 2: with us.
Speaker 3: I didn't you guys ever really asked.
Speaker 2: About the existential coupon book.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I agree with all of the things
Speaker 5: that you're saying, but putting it into a coupon book
Speaker 5: on a first date.
Speaker 6: I think that's the part that's a little odd.
Speaker 7: But that's why I.
Speaker 9: Thought it was a joke though, Like were you kidding?
Speaker 6: Were you being.
Speaker 3: Lighthearted about the aliens? Yes, like we can have that
Speaker 3: call anytime, oh okay, everything else.
Speaker 5: So she's just joking about the time frame when you
Speaker 5: can have the alien discussion and not just midnight, anytime
Speaker 5: of day you are down to chop it up about
Speaker 5: ali It.
Speaker 1: Is funnier when you say aliens at midnight for some reason?
Speaker 6: Is okay? Corey? Does that clear it all up for you?
Speaker 10: I mean, it's it's pretty much what I thought.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, you date somebody like her
Speaker 1: and maybe your mind opens up to some new ideas
Speaker 1: and some new experiences.
Speaker 3: Yes I can. I can open your mind and all
Speaker 3: that good stuff.
Speaker 7: Yeah, just going to day with me.
Speaker 2: She's rubbing to Himalayan salt rocks.
Speaker 10: My mind is pretty open. But I don't know, it's
Speaker 10: just a bit much.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, what about big fragrant energy gay
Speaker 3: right b f E.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I mean if I'm not feeling it, I'm not feeling it.
Speaker 10: I'm sure, Like that's true.
Speaker 5: I mean, Allison, if this is how Corey feels, maybe
Speaker 5: he's not the right guy for you. You need somebody
Speaker 5: that matches your same vibe, your same energy that you're
Speaker 5: looking for.
Speaker 2: She needs to find a right sock to her left sock.
Speaker 3: Jeff Roman, But I like him, and I mean, I
Speaker 3: didn't even tell you. If there's another coupon in there,
Speaker 3: that's one free awkward hug.
Speaker 6: Awkward one.
Speaker 9: Oh funny, you guys can hug and be like no, no, no,
Speaker 9: that was way too good.
Speaker 6: We got to make it weird.
Speaker 7: I feel bad day.
Speaker 5: You don't want to pass up that opportunity because we
Speaker 5: would pay for you two to go out on another date.
Speaker 6: If you'll agree to it, Just give it one chance.
Speaker 9: Awkward kid, Oh, it's so funny.
Speaker 10: I actually think your host should go out on a
Speaker 10: date with her because he seems really excited about a
Speaker 10: lot of the things she's saying.
Speaker 2: Triple awkward hug.
Speaker 7: Yeah, anybody else wanted circle.
Speaker 5: Even though this didn't end up working out, there's not
Speaker 5: going to be a second date. I do think something
Speaker 5: positive came out of this. We were able to figure
Speaker 5: out that you're two different people after two different things,
Speaker 5: and that's Okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, can I just say, like Corey, you can't use
Speaker 3: that coupon book if anyone else it only works with me.
Speaker 7: Oh, she's gonna get jealous.
Speaker 10: I think that's the deal.
Speaker 2: I feel like he's already thrown out the book.
Speaker 8: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 5: Honestly, I don't know why she's being persecuted for being
Speaker 5: creative with her cubon book.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're on your side out.
Speaker 5: Most of the time, coupons are like one free back rub,
Speaker 5: one day of me doing chores naked in the house,
Speaker 5: and those are so old and played out. It's nice
Speaker 5: to hear someone actually put some creativity and like shake
Speaker 5: it up a little bit.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 1: I want to do the sock one, Like when when
Speaker 1: do we do the sock segment?
Speaker 2: Let her on and just let her go.
Speaker 6: That would be fun.
Speaker 5: But of course, you know us men, we don't like
Speaker 5: new ideas or creative shakeups to our normal routine. We're
Speaker 5: simple creatures who like the same old crap over and
Speaker 5: over and over forever till we're dead.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Somehow, someone's gonna say, Brook, why are you saying such
Speaker 1: mean things about men?
Speaker 2: Yeah, jeff that's me.
Speaker 6: I hate us, and.
Speaker 5: You can hate listen to us online wherever you get
Speaker 5: your podcast through up at Brook and Jeffrey. Or if
Speaker 5: you ever need help with your dating life, email the show.
Speaker 5: We'll call that person who's not calling you back Brook
Speaker 5: and Jeffrey.
Speaker 12: In the Morning.
Speaker 5: Imagine someone you really like and you just started dating
Speaker 5: suddenly stops replying to your texts.
Speaker 9: Exactly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well at that point is an invitation for his
Speaker 5: I'm wondering, what's the strategy that you use to get
Speaker 5: them to respond.
Speaker 2: To you, jeff before you give.
Speaker 5: Up, Jose, you might send them like one last funny meme,
Speaker 5: No you can go to give up, Alexis.
Speaker 6: Maybe you'd send them a Venmo.
Speaker 2: Request got strong.
Speaker 5: Yeah, someone on this show would send them a link
Speaker 5: to a map with their exact location and a note
Speaker 5: below saying I'm watching you that I'm just saying it could.
Speaker 6: Promise you it works.
Speaker 5: But one of our listeners was faced with that situation
Speaker 5: and did something a little unusual in order to get
Speaker 5: his crushes attention. We'll find out if his strategy worked
Speaker 5: in a second date update next.
Speaker 8: Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 12: Second Date updates.
Speaker 5: There's so many different themed bars nowadays are like fun
Speaker 5: and kitchy. Yeah, but there's one where you can get
Speaker 5: drinks on a working carnival carousel.
Speaker 2: Oh that's so cool.
Speaker 7: You just go up and down on your horse sea
Speaker 7: while getting schwated.
Speaker 2: Sounds like ye, yeah, that's.
Speaker 6: Part of the fun.
Speaker 5: And there's another one that's called a ping pong emporium
Speaker 5: with over one hundred ping pong tables.
Speaker 6: You just play and drink.
Speaker 2: It's like beer pong or whatever pong you.
Speaker 6: Want, whatever type.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 5: My personal favorite, though, is Lose gas Station just off.
Speaker 2: The Highway's theme by it is theme.
Speaker 7: It's just like a gas station and you can actually
Speaker 7: pump gas there.
Speaker 5: You just get a six piece sushi and a forty
Speaker 5: of mickeys, and then you head into the restroom see
Speaker 5: what happens.
Speaker 6: That's my style.
Speaker 5: But I guess one of our listeners did a themed
Speaker 5: bar for his first date the other night. His name
Speaker 5: is Matt, so let's talk to him.
Speaker 3: Matt.
Speaker 6: How you doing, I'm doing okay?
Speaker 13: How are you? Guys?
Speaker 2: Are you wishing you knew about Lose sooner so you
Speaker 2: could have taken her there?
Speaker 6: I can tell you where it is.
Speaker 13: I mean, I'm open to new places.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's my guy. Maybe I'll see you in the
Speaker 5: restaurant there. But first, let's focus on this date you
Speaker 5: went on. Who is the woman that you met?
Speaker 13: Tanita is her name?
Speaker 2: Did you guys meet online on app?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 13: Actually it was a she's a friend of a coworker
Speaker 13: of mine.
Speaker 7: Whoa.
Speaker 2: We we never hear about things like people.
Speaker 6: This is weird.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm recently saying. My coworker just was like, oh,
Speaker 13: she's recently single too, so showed me a picture. I
Speaker 13: was like, oh, yeah, she's cute. Let's do this.
Speaker 6: I hate that.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean he thought she was cute. That's exciting.
Speaker 5: Nobody sets you up unless they're taking pity on you.
Speaker 4: Looking for a rebounds.
Speaker 2: I got sat up with my husband.
Speaker 5: Yeah, talk about someone felt bad for you and hooked
Speaker 5: you up with some stranger.
Speaker 6: She's great.
Speaker 12: Man.
Speaker 2: He turned up to be the best guy ever.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he is, you're.
Speaker 3: To say.
Speaker 5: Anyway, back to Matt Brook, let's not focus on your
Speaker 5: pit a full life.
Speaker 6: Matt tell us about yours.
Speaker 13: Well, I was kind of trying to make it a
Speaker 13: year of of yes, so I can understand where you're
Speaker 13: coming from. So I just I was like, you know what,
Speaker 13: I'm just going to say yes to these things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was it like when you guys first met.
Speaker 13: We first we talked on the phone and we decided like, yeah,
Speaker 13: let's meet in person. So we went to this bar
Speaker 13: that is like a bar and board games play.
Speaker 1: Okay, why do you say, oh, like it's negative, Cheff
Speaker 1: bored for like.
Speaker 7: You know, romantic activity.
Speaker 2: I don't know how that goes.
Speaker 5: Yes for like a family game night, but I don't
Speaker 5: know about a date. Yea, what what games were you playing?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 13: Like, my favorite game is Connect four and hers is Sorry,
Speaker 13: So we grabbed one of those two and.
Speaker 1: Those are perfect because they're easy to have conversation at
Speaker 1: the same time you're playing them.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, that's what I like about Connect four.
Speaker 13: It's like it forces you to look at the person
Speaker 13: because it's vertical, you know.
Speaker 9: You apologize.
Speaker 5: I've definitely played both of those games before, but with
Speaker 5: blindfolds and handcuffs on. So it's probably a little bit
Speaker 5: different rules than you played.
Speaker 2: How do you know when you win Connect four if you.
Speaker 13: Yeah, that seems like there were some different rules.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we don't talk to Jeff about that.
Speaker 6: You did the childhood rules.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was it like?
Speaker 13: It was great. Neither one of us were like overly competitive.
Speaker 13: We had some drinks. I mean, your producer even asked me.
Speaker 13: He was like, is there anything that you could think
Speaker 13: of that went wrong? And honestly, there was nothing that
Speaker 13: was weird. We got to know each other and it
Speaker 13: felt really cool.
Speaker 2: Do you think it was too boring? I mean, like
Speaker 2: that's the only thing, like, if there's nothing that stood out?
Speaker 13: Yeah, no, it was fun. Another thing is after the
Speaker 13: date is kind of a different story. Why So I
Speaker 13: fully intended to go out with her again, and she
Speaker 13: was into it. We talked about it. So the next
Speaker 13: day I sent her a text and I didn't get
Speaker 13: any response. So after a few hours I was feeling
Speaker 13: a little antsy, so I sent another and I'll just
Speaker 13: I'll read it to you guys. Hold on, So I wrote,
Speaker 13: you better text me back because I might go out
Speaker 13: with someone else tonight. And like a bunch of cute emojis.
Speaker 6: Oh no, I.
Speaker 7: Mean I see what you were trying to do there.
Speaker 1: Read if you spoke it, maybe, but reading it, especially
Speaker 1: when you read it from someone you don't know.
Speaker 13: That yeah, absolutely, I thought you would see that it
Speaker 13: was a joke, and she'd be like, yeah, what's his name?
Speaker 13: You know, like I thought she was gonna rip me
Speaker 13: back on it.
Speaker 2: So what did she say back? Anything?
Speaker 13: No? And so I just kind of sent a few
Speaker 13: more texts, Oh God.
Speaker 2: What did you say? As a follow up.
Speaker 13: I just kind of stuck with the same theme. I
Speaker 13: just was like, all right, I'm going out. I like
Speaker 13: sent her a picture of some shoes. I was like, seam,
Speaker 13: I'm getting alled up.
Speaker 5: Years from now, I'm gonna walk down the island, say
Speaker 5: I do you don't text me back?
Speaker 3: Bro?
Speaker 2: Try that is so grand. All have you talked to
Speaker 2: the coworker that set you guys up?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 13: Because I just feel like it's embarrassed.
Speaker 2: Too embarrassing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 13: Even't sent her a sorry jiff with like the commercial
Speaker 13: from the board game.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, trying to make an inside joke that's don't
Speaker 1: really happening.
Speaker 5: There just too far fast exactly. This might be too
Speaker 5: far gone, but there's a chance we could.
Speaker 6: Bring it back.
Speaker 2: Oh can we delete the texas at too late for that?
Speaker 6: It'd be too late for that.
Speaker 5: But hopefully we can get her on the phone and
Speaker 5: sweetly convince her to give it another try.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I mean I really, I mean, you guys
Speaker 13: know that. So if you can help me, I'd appreciate it.
Speaker 9: Just don't start the conbo with you. Better text me back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well you better stay on hold this entire time. Well,
Speaker 5: we're going to move on to a different person and
Speaker 5: get them a second date update.
Speaker 2: Set you a picture of my shoes.
Speaker 13: I deserve that. I deserve that.
Speaker 6: We're going to do your second d update right after this.
Speaker 8: Hold on that Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 12: Second date update.
Speaker 6: If you're just joining us.
Speaker 5: We're on the phone with Matt, who says he went
Speaker 5: out on the perfect first date peers, board.
Speaker 2: Games, It's fun.
Speaker 5: Body flirtations that night was flawless. After the date, though
Speaker 5: a little bit of a different story, Mad admits he
Speaker 5: may have messed up because she wasn't responding to his
Speaker 5: text yeah, and in a misguided effort to get to
Speaker 5: Nita to respond, he tried to egger on a little
Speaker 5: bit with something like, Hey, if you don't respond to me,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go out with someone else.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And he'd only given it a couple hours two for
Speaker 1: her to respond. Yeah, she'd like left him on red
Speaker 1: for a day or two.
Speaker 7: And when he still got no reply back, he kept
Speaker 7: teasing for a while, saying, I'm serious.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna swipe on someone else soon.
Speaker 7: Now I'm putting on my shoes if you don't call
Speaker 7: me back.
Speaker 2: Are you a dad, because dad's never known when the
Speaker 2: joke's over either.
Speaker 13: I am not a dad.
Speaker 5: The thing is, he hasn't said like he's in love
Speaker 5: with her, but you can tell that he does like her,
Speaker 5: and you might do some questionable thing when you're really
Speaker 5: into someone.
Speaker 1: No, I really truly think you read it as a joke.
Speaker 1: I think she did not.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean that's the basis of it. I think
Speaker 13: I just figured. I'm already embarrassed. Lean in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he tried. We're gonna try hard. We're gonna try harder.
Speaker 7: We're gonna call Tanita here in just a second.
Speaker 2: Digging out of a hole.
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, you're not painting it very nicely for him,
Speaker 7: You're kind of piling. I'm just saying, I like to
Speaker 7: get a little positivity before we make these calls, a
Speaker 7: little forward momentum.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, then maybe she blocked you before she saw
Speaker 2: the rest of them.
Speaker 7: Forward bright, thinking that we need. Don't you feel a
Speaker 7: little bit better now?
Speaker 8: Matt thrilled.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Good news is we're not blocked yet. So let's see
Speaker 6: what she asked to say. Here we go.
Speaker 7: Hello, Hey is this Tanita?
Speaker 6: It is Hey Tanita.
Speaker 5: You're on the radio right now with a fun morning
Speaker 5: show called Brooke and Jeffrey.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show, Tanita.
Speaker 11: Yeah, oh, let me get another cup of coffee.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, that's actually our tagline.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not really, but I know this might be weird,
Speaker 5: but we do want to talk to you about your.
Speaker 6: Dating life a little bit. If you have a second.
Speaker 11: What do you mean, what are you talking about?
Speaker 5: It's a segment that we do on our show called
Speaker 5: Second Date Update, and one of our listeners has reached
Speaker 5: out because he went out with you recently, had a
Speaker 5: great time, and now hasn't been able to arrange that
Speaker 5: second meet up.
Speaker 6: His name is Matt.
Speaker 10: Oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: He said he's played board games together, which sounded really fun.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 10: The whole date was fun until.
Speaker 7: So after the date, after the date wasn't fun.
Speaker 11: Well yeah, I mean I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 11: if he told you anything or whatever, but.
Speaker 5: I did hear that there were some texts exchanged, and
Speaker 5: by exchanged, I mean just from him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the good news he's self aware at how
Speaker 1: embarrassing those are.
Speaker 11: Oh really, well, there were a lot more than just
Speaker 11: some texts. It was like, I mean, I don't know
Speaker 11: to the extent of what he said, but like he said.
Speaker 5: There was a lot that he was trying to like
Speaker 5: egg you on and say he was going to go
Speaker 5: on a date with somebody else if he didn't reply.
Speaker 9: He was trying to.
Speaker 1: Joke, but we also understand how it could be read
Speaker 1: not as a Joe stall and by like read literally
Speaker 1: just as a red flag.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Well, he like literally walked from me through an entire
Speaker 11: date with somebody. And that's where I kind of was like, maybe, yeah,
Speaker 11: what do you mean.
Speaker 9: Wait, what do you mean you walked you through a date?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah.
Speaker 11: It was first like he was talking about, like let's
Speaker 11: meet up, and then he's like, oh, I'm going to
Speaker 11: go out with somebody if you don't text me back,
Speaker 11: and then it was like I'm out with the girl now.
Speaker 6: Out Wait wait, he really went out on dates?
Speaker 2: No, I think it was a joke. I think he
Speaker 2: was just joking.
Speaker 6: Thought that was that was. That was the perspective that
Speaker 6: we got.
Speaker 9: Hold on, you read us the text and maybe we
Speaker 9: can decide.
Speaker 11: Yeah, okay, okay, hold on one Secon'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Look it up.
Speaker 6: You didn't, I don't think so.
Speaker 11: Okay, I'm walking out the door now. That was the
Speaker 11: last Okay, okay, I just bought a drink. Everything's going, well, my.
Speaker 1: God, I think he's trying to be funny to this
Speaker 1: feels achy now.
Speaker 11: Though, Yeah, I'll read you his next text, I'm playing
Speaker 11: pinball with her, but sure, wish I was playing games
Speaker 11: with you.
Speaker 5: The board games that you were playing on your dates.
Speaker 2: I like that you can find the humor in this,
Speaker 2: so I appreciate that.
Speaker 11: It's a little bit terrifying.
Speaker 10: Actually.
Speaker 11: But his next text, this is the last one I got.
Speaker 11: So I kiss her at the end of the night,
Speaker 11: but was thinking of you the whole time. Smiley face,
Speaker 11: winki face, hurt.
Speaker 7: No, that's like me.
Speaker 1: And this is this is over like a what three
Speaker 1: hour time span that he said any of these.
Speaker 11: Well, it was like a whole day from the beginning.
Speaker 1: Of Oh my god, how did you not respond?
Speaker 11: Honestly, for the first one, I was at work. It
Speaker 11: was like there wasn't even enough time between the text
Speaker 11: for me to answer him, and then it just went
Speaker 11: off the rail.
Speaker 6: Did he make up that dates too? Is that a
Speaker 6: real thing?
Speaker 2: I mean, like literally texting at the same time he's
Speaker 2: kissing someone after.
Speaker 5: I'm very curious, and I just want to ask him directly,
Speaker 5: because I need to tell you to Anita that Matt's
Speaker 5: on the other line right now listening to this.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, with another girl, doesn't.
Speaker 13: Hey, yeah, a man. I thought I was embarrassed before.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 7: PHILIS said, buddy, what's going on in.
Speaker 13: I mean, what do you want me to say? I
Speaker 13: told you guys, I sent some embarrassing texts already.
Speaker 1: Well, but you said you sat like four not a
Speaker 1: whole day's worth, not I just made out way by date.
Speaker 13: Yeah, here's I don't remember getting a number, I mean.
Speaker 5: Date, What were you on a date with another woman
Speaker 5: for real? Or was that all just like made up
Speaker 5: as a joke.
Speaker 13: I really don't want to have to say.
Speaker 1: Oh, well, it's not funny at all that you were
Speaker 1: like ha ha guy.
Speaker 13: No, look look, okay, here's what I so, I went
Speaker 13: on another date. Okay, yeah, oh my god, I thought
Speaker 13: about you the whole time.
Speaker 9: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Nothing in the last two minutes to you.
Speaker 9: But I was thinking about you the whole.
Speaker 5: Sorry, I mean, Ta, does it change your mind a
Speaker 5: little bit that he actually will Lee followed through and
Speaker 5: went out with a real girl. It's like kind of
Speaker 5: sweet and truthful in that way. It be kind, it's
Speaker 5: arranged if he made that whole thing up.
Speaker 11: If he made it up, I would have gone out
Speaker 11: with him again because that was like I totally would
Speaker 11: have because he's really really trying hard and maybe making
Speaker 11: a joke, but no, this is like a hard pass,
Speaker 11: hard pass.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he got into that part yet.
Speaker 13: Ta, Okay, Hey, can I change my answer? I made
Speaker 13: the whole thing up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, let's let's rewind the tape and delete.
Speaker 2: I feel like this is the first time ever.
Speaker 1: It's like, normally people want what they can't have, and yeah,
Speaker 1: Tanita just doesn't want it.
Speaker 6: We don't know that for sure.
Speaker 2: Yet, go ahead. I mean, it's part of.
Speaker 6: Before I asked.
Speaker 5: Obviously, he's very embarrassed by what happened, but he knows
Speaker 5: he made a mistake. And sometimes when you really really
Speaker 5: are into someone, you do really really dumb stuff because
Speaker 5: you're afraid.
Speaker 2: Of losing, like make out with other women. I mean
Speaker 2: that happens.
Speaker 6: Plus Matt, you're not still seeing that girl?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 6: No, I mean good answer.
Speaker 1: Okay, he was just about to say.
Speaker 7: And start asking if you'd like to go out with
Speaker 7: Matt one more time and we'd pay for it.
Speaker 11: You know, he was so good at Connect four and
Speaker 11: so good at Sorry. He wins all the games, so
Speaker 11: he's really good at playing games. I'm gonna say, no, hope, something.
Speaker 7: Like, what do you doing all right?
Speaker 11: Matt?
Speaker 6: Answer? Yeah, we we can't catch you another date, buddy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I thought of something to say, but I almost feel
Speaker 13: like it's worse than the other stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't think that the hole can't get deeper at
Speaker 2: this point. Matt, go ahead, Yeah.
Speaker 13: Go Aheadna. I just wish you would quit playing games
Speaker 13: with my heart my going as I said it, but
Speaker 13: I have.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so we're all of our listeners, So thank you
Speaker 6: for that.
Speaker 8: Matt Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 5: Oh man, I was so hoping when we asked the question,
Speaker 5: tell me that wasn't a real date. I really wanted
Speaker 5: him to say, No, that's not real.
Speaker 6: Are you crazy?
Speaker 7: I made that up to get under her skin.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's exactly what he should have said, even if
Speaker 9: it was a lot.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this man, I swear and like that.
Speaker 1: He didn't fill us in on that part, like when
Speaker 1: we first talked to him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like important information.
Speaker 5: So when he told us he really did go out
Speaker 5: with someone else, you could hear all of our reactions.
Speaker 6: Plus the textboard was lighting up with people just.
Speaker 2: Call him an idiot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, not happy.
Speaker 5: No, they said ditch this guy. We did get one
Speaker 5: text in support of.
Speaker 6: Matt, though.
Speaker 2: Was it the other person he was out with.
Speaker 5: No, it turns out it was from Matt himself. Okay,
Speaker 5: he said, hey.
Speaker 6: This is Matt.
Speaker 5: I'm listening to myself on the radio, and I think
Speaker 5: she should reconsider.
Speaker 6: It's not as bad as it sounds.
Speaker 2: Come on, man, you really get a texting while he does.
Speaker 6: Matt, It was as bad as it sounds.
Speaker 2: But it's amazing he can get a lot of first dates. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you had two, Mack to back.
Speaker 5: Is that next one? Yeah, we'll keep working on that
Speaker 5: for you. But if you want some help getting another date,
Speaker 5: we can try. Just email the show. We'll call that person.
Speaker 5: Wasn't calling you back
