Speaker 1: It's always a fun day when we get an update
Speaker 1: from one of our Second Date Update.
Speaker 2: Couple, Yes, especially an unexpected one for sure.
Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to Broke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and
Speaker 1: you have found the Second Date Update podcast.
Speaker 2: We're so happy you're here. And yesterday we do need.
Speaker 1: To do a update on the yes because we did
Speaker 1: put a poll up on Spotify based on yesterday's Second
Speaker 1: Date update and what it was.
Speaker 3: The poll we said, your date has something on their face.
Speaker 3: Do you say something, keep it to yourself, or put
Speaker 3: something on your face?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Eighty four percent of you.
Speaker 3: Said you say something wow, yeah yeah, ten percent keep
Speaker 3: it to yourself, and five percent put something on your face.
Speaker 2: Yes see. Yeah, I love that. All right, let's get
Speaker 2: to this update update.
Speaker 1: That's, of course where we get a check in from
Speaker 1: a couple that's been on the show before.
Speaker 2: So we are going to play the full original.
Speaker 1: Second Date and then at the very end is when
Speaker 1: we're going to hear from them again.
Speaker 2: So stick around to the very end of this one.
Speaker 2: It starts right now.
Speaker 4: It's the date that we never thought would actually happen,
Speaker 4: but against all odds, it did. Yay, one of our
Speaker 4: most popular second date calls from the past calendar year
Speaker 4: gets a surprising update. Oh, it's just proof that only
Speaker 4: because we think a relationship is doomed and there's tons
Speaker 4: and tons of red flags and all the signs are
Speaker 4: pointing directly to the toilet. That doesn't count for anything.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 4: That's right. Sometimes true love prevails even when we condemn
Speaker 4: it in the most unexpected ways. You're gonna hear it
Speaker 4: when we get a second Date update update. Right after
Speaker 4: this second Date Update date, we got an email from
Speaker 4: a woman who says people in her area aren't really
Speaker 4: using Bumble or Tinder anymore. They use it not even
Speaker 4: my favorite app, Clinger, where personal space is just myth.
Speaker 2: At least everybody on the app.
Speaker 4: You imagine you hear knock at your door, immediately find
Speaker 4: your fellow codependent Clinger. But she says she's found a
Speaker 4: more unique way to meet guys. And we've heard of
Speaker 4: these types of movements before where people are like trying
Speaker 4: to move away from the apps in favor of other methods.
Speaker 4: So let's talk to her and find out what she did.
Speaker 4: Her name is Mandy. Mandy, Welcome to the show toay guys.
Speaker 1: Hey, you sound cute and fun and like you did
Speaker 1: something fun to meet some guys.
Speaker 4: She said, Hey, how did you get that? From? Hey,
Speaker 4: you did it? You sound perfect for Clinger Brooks. So
Speaker 4: tell us about this guy that you met and how
Speaker 4: you met him. What's your strategy?
Speaker 5: Now? There was this kiktok movement going around and I
Speaker 5: want to say it started in Spain and it's where
Speaker 5: singles meet up at a grocery store. So like you'll
Speaker 5: have a store and you have a time, and they
Speaker 5: usually see a huge turnout, like sixty to seventy people
Speaker 5: take part in it at a grocery store.
Speaker 2: It like how do you find when the meat up?
Speaker 4: Feeling see you guys at checkstands?
Speaker 1: Like I'd be the person not invited to the grocery
Speaker 1: store for some reason.
Speaker 5: People will just kind of post the store name and time,
Speaker 5: and they'll get reposted and reposted, and then people just.
Speaker 3: Okay, I seem like not exactly this, but like I've
Speaker 3: seen people go on and they'll be like, I think
Speaker 3: this bar would be fun for singles. Go this Friday
Speaker 3: night and it's like a popular barn and go viral
Speaker 3: and we're.
Speaker 2: Doing grocery stores and stuff. You can just say yeah exactly.
Speaker 6: Don't makes sense, Like, if you're going to do it,
Speaker 6: you share it.
Speaker 3: Well, if you watch any video where it says hot
Speaker 3: singles might be here, I feel like you're into it.
Speaker 4: I see a lot of those websites. And so a
Speaker 4: bunch of people go to the grocery store hoping to
Speaker 4: meet someone. Right, we can go to the meat.
Speaker 2: Section, because that would be really fun.
Speaker 4: No by I'm thirsty, Mandy. Tell us how it works.
Speaker 4: What happens Once you're in the store.
Speaker 5: There's where it's a little way saucy. So you go
Speaker 5: and you get a pineapple. Okay, it's okay, it's not
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 2: Why is it that fruit?
Speaker 5: You know? I wondered the same thing, like you couldn't
Speaker 5: have chosen a different fruit? But whatever, Okay, it upside down,
Speaker 5: which I know runs like rampant with that other.
Speaker 2: Are you sure you're going to the right.
Speaker 4: Shut up? I'm loving this idea more and more. Keep going,
Speaker 4: it's true.
Speaker 5: Then you put it upside down your cart, and then
Speaker 5: you go over to where the wine is and you
Speaker 5: grab a bottle of wine.
Speaker 4: Okay, you got an upside down pineapple and some wine.
Speaker 5: Yes, and you check out who's around you see if
Speaker 5: they have the same items in theirs. And if you
Speaker 5: see somebody who kind of tickles your fancy so speak,
Speaker 5: give them a light bump with your cart in.
Speaker 2: The pilot tips over. Now we're bumping carts.
Speaker 6: I will say this, this can be subtle because even
Speaker 6: if you don't see someone at first, you could just
Speaker 6: wander around.
Speaker 2: Looks do you have to wander in? Every question?
Speaker 5: Though?
Speaker 2: If you bump someone, do they bump you back? Like
Speaker 2: do you run away with carts?
Speaker 5: If they're not interested, they could you know, just sorry,
Speaker 5: excuse me and walk away.
Speaker 4: Okay, So bumping carts is the equivalent of swiping basically exactly. Okay,
Speaker 4: so who did you bump upside down pineapple wine?
Speaker 2: Right, we're all following who was it?
Speaker 5: That is how I'm that mark my right?
Speaker 2: And then how do you how do you turn that
Speaker 2: into a date.
Speaker 5: Well, once we bumped, then we exchanged information. We actually
Speaker 5: got together and we went to a wine bar and
Speaker 5: it was it was really nice, like we just got
Speaker 5: to sit down and really talk. And he's really funny
Speaker 5: and he's a he's an animal lover, and which is
Speaker 5: yeah exactly, and I mean he's just he seemed very genuine.
Speaker 1: So did you get the vibe that you guys were
Speaker 1: going to do this again? You're going to see each other.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's the weirdest thing, Like he walked me
Speaker 5: home you know we can't and then gone done and
Speaker 5: then done now you said, And then he was gone.
Speaker 4: He ran away after the kids. He was like, oh
Speaker 4: my god, I have wine breath, and then he runs away.
Speaker 5: Maybe he had to go get another pineapple.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 1: So have you called him or texted him or are
Speaker 1: you waiting for him?
Speaker 5: No? I did. I called him and I texted and
Speaker 5: that's got nothing.
Speaker 4: How long has it been since you and Mark went
Speaker 4: on that date.
Speaker 5: It's been about two weeks.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a while, Yeah, long enough that he should
Speaker 1: have reached out.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Sorry, Okay, Well, let's call him in find out what
Speaker 4: he has to say. We're gonna come back and do
Speaker 4: your second date update. You got pine do we have
Speaker 4: to do? I put in my Instacart order already, so
Speaker 4: I'll be back. We'll do it right after this. Hold
Speaker 4: on second Date update.
Speaker 2: You're in the middle of a second date update update,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna find out how the couple is doing. Right,
Speaker 2: after you here Part two.
Speaker 4: I am never gonna shop for groceries the same ever
Speaker 4: again after this call with man you.
Speaker 1: And meeboled, I am going to be just eyeballing eagle
Speaker 1: eye who's in here.
Speaker 5: To think of it?
Speaker 4: Because Mandy told us about a strange new dating ritual
Speaker 4: that apparently started with singles in Spain and now it's
Speaker 4: come over to the US where people will show up
Speaker 4: at a grocery store like a lot of people. They
Speaker 4: take all the pineapples, put them in carts upside down,
Speaker 4: and meet in the wine section, then start bumping each
Speaker 4: other just show interest.
Speaker 7: And this is.
Speaker 4: Wink definitely not a swing, even though it sounds like
Speaker 4: it to literally every person on the planet except for
Speaker 4: our listener Mandy, because she ended up meeting a guy
Speaker 4: named Mark there. They went out, had a really good time,
Speaker 4: and this was her first grocery store bump, sesshon. But
Speaker 4: we never asked what about Mark, Manny, did you discuss
Speaker 4: that has he bumped before?
Speaker 5: He said he had? Okay, she and the girl had
Speaker 5: gone out a few times after they had a bump.
Speaker 2: Second, it's crazy how successful this is people.
Speaker 6: What's it like when it's busy and it just sounds
Speaker 6: like a hundred shopping cars crashing in the corner store.
Speaker 1: Even more fascinating is how confused the produce man must be.
Speaker 2: Ye, pineapples and now they don't want but they're back.
Speaker 5: And.
Speaker 4: There's clearly a lot of questions that we have, and
Speaker 4: she's a rookie. She can't answer.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The only person that can is the tropical fruit stud
Speaker 4: that we're about to call here. Hopefully we'll squeeze some
Speaker 4: answers out of him, can well, mister Jiquita his name, okay,
Speaker 4: pineapple Mark. We'll just call him Mark until we get
Speaker 4: more from him. But let's just dial let me see
Speaker 4: if he picks up first. Here we go. Hello, Hey,
Speaker 4: is this Mark?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Hey Mark. I'm not sure if you're ready for this,

Speaker 7: friends that they're doing this trend, and they told me
Speaker 7: you should, uh see what it's about. Yeah. A couple
Speaker 7: of times I met Mandy, and I don't know. She
Speaker 7: thought she was cool.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's good.
Speaker 2: That's a good start.
Speaker 4: Cool enough to take out on an actual date to
Speaker 4: a wine bar. We heard.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we went out. It's just uh, towards the end
Speaker 7: of the date, like a weird thing happened. Oh, she
Speaker 7: told you guys about it.
Speaker 2: Weirder than the grocery store things.
Speaker 4: Well, we heard you kiss you're supposed to like.
Speaker 2: Was it not a good kiss?
Speaker 7: I walked her home and we kissed and it was
Speaker 7: really great.
Speaker 4: But I take her to.
Speaker 7: Her door and she reaches into her purse pulls out
Speaker 7: an envelope.
Speaker 4: Okayarts letter.
Speaker 7: I get to my car and I opened this letter
Speaker 7: and it says thank you for this lovely date, and
Speaker 7: then under it it says, here is my pre and
Speaker 7: post date expenses.
Speaker 2: Huh wait, it's an invoice.
Speaker 7: Yeah to what there was the take up? There was
Speaker 7: the petticure or things like that.
Speaker 2: She needed her toes painted to go to a wine bar.
Speaker 7: Like I thought. I didn't know that this was part
Speaker 7: of it.
Speaker 2: That's insane.
Speaker 7: Her Venmo was on there. There was a Venmo bar code.
Speaker 3: Didn't it to maybe a guy you don't like more
Speaker 3: than someone where it actually went, well, why would you?
Speaker 7: Why you?
Speaker 2: Especially because didn't you pay for the wine bar?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Well I paid for everything, I thought, Okay, I'll
Speaker 7: treat her to a date. That's normal.
Speaker 4: I just it. You did not pay for everything, okay.
Speaker 4: Or maybe he didn't have enough money to pay for
Speaker 4: the Venmo thing.
Speaker 2: So come on, what is she having to buy new
Speaker 2: makeup for the date?
Speaker 5: Please?
Speaker 2: Everything does run out at the same time.
Speaker 3: Don't give me started.
Speaker 4: We're a lot of theoreticals. We don't know the true story.
Speaker 4: The only one that does is Mandy, who is on
Speaker 4: the other line listening to this call right now, Mark
Speaker 4: and wanting to talk to you. Mark.
Speaker 5: Oh girl, I didn't realize that was what bothered.
Speaker 4: You, because so you admit that you invoiced him for
Speaker 4: everything before and during the date.
Speaker 5: Well, I went out, I got my makeup done, and
Speaker 5: I got my hair done, got a new outfit.
Speaker 2: You shouldn't put that much for a man, just saying
Speaker 2: in the.
Speaker 7: First but I didn't ask you to do any of that.
Speaker 5: You were insistent that you wanted to go out, and
Speaker 5: that you know, I wanted to pay.
Speaker 7: And I wanted to say, but to give me the receipts.
Speaker 7: It was just it was impersonal. I didn't feel right
Speaker 7: about it. I walked away feeling good, thinking, oh cool,
Speaker 7: I got a cute envelope with a note instead I
Speaker 7: had a receipt. What are you doing?
Speaker 4: I mean a letter does kind of make it more
Speaker 4: personal in a way.
Speaker 2: Does it?
Speaker 4: She took the time to write it.
Speaker 5: Indeed, you know I've got before, and I've never had
Speaker 5: any broken lengths.
Speaker 4: Really, maybe in the Pineapple community the standards for paying
Speaker 4: them are a little bit different.
Speaker 6: I just admit, though, if I went on a date
Speaker 6: with a girl and it went well, and I wanted
Speaker 6: to see her again, and she built me fifty bucks
Speaker 6: and be.
Speaker 4: Like, Okay, oh no, no, Fini, I can afford it.
Speaker 6: I can take care of it.
Speaker 1: I don't think she's thinking about that when she I
Speaker 1: just like, these are expenses about just being an adult
Speaker 1: that you just have to incur. Like this is just
Speaker 1: life expenses that you got to take on yourself.
Speaker 5: Do you do You don't you feel that we're getting
Speaker 5: a little screwed over by the amount of money we
Speaker 5: have to pay.
Speaker 4: It's like kind of a shared thing. You both put
Speaker 4: in your effort and your money. Mandy, is there a
Speaker 4: way that maybe going forward you could see not doing
Speaker 4: the invoice or at least giving him a discount.
Speaker 5: If it's going to make you feel more comfortable. If
Speaker 5: we got again, you know, we can go Dutch.
Speaker 2: I don't even understand what that means.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it means she pays for half, and he pays
Speaker 4: for half. What he pays for one foot, she pays
Speaker 4: for the other foot.
Speaker 2: I got it. Bet you paid for your own crap,
Speaker 2: Like would the bill come?
Speaker 4: No O, that's not how modern pineapple dating works. Brooke,
Speaker 4: get up with the times Market. Sounds like she's trying
Speaker 4: to be reasonable with you, offering a pretty significant discount
Speaker 4: on the rates that you have to pay, so I
Speaker 4: would give her another chance. This is like when you.
Speaker 6: Tell a company you're going to cancel and they give
Speaker 6: you that last offer exactly.
Speaker 1: Trial, Is it too late to go Dutch on the
Speaker 1: first bill or we just talking about the second villa?
Speaker 4: You know, we're not in charge of the entire financial landscape.
Speaker 4: We're in charge of is paying for the date that
Speaker 4: you go on, because we will offer to fund it
Speaker 4: for you. Mark, if you'll see Mandy one more time.
Speaker 7: If you're willing to talk about splitting things down the
Speaker 7: line down the middle between you and I in the future,
Speaker 7: then I don't see a reason not to no reason.
Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, Spreadsheets, Excel, you need to keep your septs.
Speaker 2: Mark, Okay, if you get a haircut, you gotta remember
Speaker 2: see how many pumps the foundations. She's using account numbers.
Speaker 4: This is some sexy talk that we're having on the
Speaker 4: show right now. But Mark, here, is that a yes
Speaker 4: from you?
Speaker 7: That's a yes from.
Speaker 4: That did not see that coming. But congratulations, Mandy, you
Speaker 4: got yourself another date.
Speaker 5: Well, thank you, guys, very much. Mark, Once you then
Speaker 5: Momy the half for the first date, we can schedule
Speaker 5: a second date.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Maddie, I thought you were nuts, but now
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I want you to do my financial.
Speaker 7: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I'm not sure anybody here expected to get an
Speaker 4: update from these two, but no, not all here we are.
Speaker 4: Mark and Mandy are back on to give us an
Speaker 4: update update on their situation. And the last time that
Speaker 4: we spoke to you guys, there was a question of
Speaker 4: will Mark be responsible for paying half of the pre
Speaker 4: date stuff? What happened there?
Speaker 5: So he did actually, then Mommy for his half.
Speaker 4: Oh sweet guy.
Speaker 5: And we've kept dating over the next few months and
Speaker 5: he has paid like a gentleman should for my predate expenses.
Speaker 2: Wait, for over two months he's been doing this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, for the last few months, he's been doing it.
Speaker 4: Wow. Mark, are you there?
Speaker 2: I kind of hear you in the background.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, I'm here. Guys. Hikay, that's good to.
Speaker 4: Hear from you. Mark.
Speaker 2: Has it been worth the cost?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, no, She's totally worth it.
Speaker 5: Yes, Oh okay, okay, but he has told me she
Speaker 5: has some concerns. Certain dates are more expensive than others,
Speaker 5: and since it wasn't consistent, I did offer to send
Speaker 5: him an itemized bill, but he really he wasn't happy
Speaker 5: with that either, So.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, so there's still a little bit of tension.
Speaker 4: It sounds like with the financials in your relationship, were
Speaker 4: you guys able to work through that?
Speaker 7: Well, So she and I talked it out. She offered
Speaker 7: me a monthly subscription package. Girlfriend, So I pay a
Speaker 7: flat rate of eighty nine ninety nine a month to
Speaker 7: cover all of her predates.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, that sounds like an introductory rate.
Speaker 5: Be careful, you know, as long as the Venmo payment
Speaker 5: gets there by the third of the month.
Speaker 7: I do give him a.
Speaker 5: Two day grace period before he incurred interest.
Speaker 4: You know what, Look, if you guys are happy, then
Speaker 4: that's great. I know every relationship works differently. Who are
Speaker 4: we to judge how other people are able to find
Speaker 4: happiness in their life. So that's awesome. Thank you.
Speaker 5: I'm very very happy with Mark.
Speaker 2: Make sure you lock them into an annual no cancelation policy.
Speaker 4: Get them on a five year deal so it can't
Speaker 4: go anywhere. Beautiful, Glad you guys are doing well. Make
