Speaker 1: It's brooking Jeffrey in the morning. We're getting into presents
Speaker 1: on the first date. Yeah, what's the biggest present you've
Speaker 1: ever given Jose on a first date? Because present a
Speaker 1: good question for you.
Speaker 2: I gotta give me time.
Speaker 3: I mean, the usual is like a candle or a
Speaker 3: stuffy something simple or anything.
Speaker 2: If we've built any rapport.
Speaker 3: If she's like, you know, I love clams, and I'm
Speaker 3: gonna buy you a little clam stuffy.
Speaker 4: But it could it could do hair. I mean, Jose's
Speaker 4: love language is definitely gifted.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sure, so we'll get into that. But first comments from
Speaker 1: our lovely listeners, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 4: Something like that.
Speaker 6: Why in there too?
Speaker 4: But I don't know how to pronounce them together, but.
Speaker 7: It says I tell everyone about you, guys. I've been
Speaker 7: listening for almost a decade. My roommates just said, do
Speaker 7: you want to hear this insane show on TikTok? Like, girl,
Speaker 7: I told you about them first.
Speaker 6: That must feel so good. I have a lot of
Speaker 6: ogs that are like no, no, no, I knew him before.
Speaker 1: They were like totally totally thank you so much for
Speaker 1: being here. Yeah, always leave your comments. We love to
Speaker 1: read them, and please subscribe and share with your friends
Speaker 1: who are just not on.
Speaker 4: It like you are.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's Brook and Jeffrey and your second date starts now,
Speaker 1: second date up date.
Speaker 8: Is it okay to bring a gift on a first date? Yeah,
Speaker 8: of course, it's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Take
Speaker 8: as long as it's yes, small, thoughtful, and I'm a
Speaker 8: low pressure, like a little quirky key chain with their
Speaker 8: name on it, then why not like.
Speaker 2: A small dog.
Speaker 8: Well, that's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 8: You want to avoid something that's too expensive, nothing too
Speaker 8: over the top romantic, because the goal is to just
Speaker 8: 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 8: You have to absolutely and our listener, Allison mentioned again
Speaker 8: was involved in her first date recently. I don't know
Speaker 8: the parameters of it or what exactly happened, so let's
Speaker 8: talk to her about it. Allison, Hey, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 5: Hi, thanks for having me.
Speaker 4: What did you get us as a gift?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just saying I thought that she was into
Speaker 1: gift giving.
Speaker 8: Well before we get to the gift. Let's start with
Speaker 8: who's the guy we're calling and how did you meet him?
Speaker 5: Well, his name is Corey, and I met him on
Speaker 5: a dating app.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I'm so curious if you were the gift
Speaker 1: giver a receiver in this situation.
Speaker 9: I was actually the receiver.
Speaker 2: Oh okay.
Speaker 1: It's weird that he would give a gift and be
Speaker 1: that excited about a date and then not be calling
Speaker 1: you past another one.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 9: So it was kind of my idea.
Speaker 5: I told him that she should bring a little gift
Speaker 5: to make a first impression.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, oh, you asked for it.
Speaker 1: Okay, that really changes, yeah, said not calling while you're.
Speaker 7: On the phone.
Speaker 8: It's good to have a woman who knows what she wants.
Speaker 4: How did he receive that? Did he laugh? At first?
Speaker 4: I would think that someone was joking.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was a little bit of a joke.
Speaker 5: But also, on the other hand, it's also like, well,
Speaker 5: why shouldn't guys come with a little offering, you know,
Speaker 5: nothing big, nothing too crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're right, but naturally, like the guy
Speaker 3: should already show up with something tiny.
Speaker 1: Not a joke from guys, What did you want him?
Speaker 4: To bring you.
Speaker 9: That's the thing. It's up to him.
Speaker 5: I think it'd be cute to kind of figure out, like,
Speaker 5: what is he going to bring to impressed? But I
Speaker 5: also told him nothing too serious.
Speaker 8: Okay, so this is more fun. You're not going in
Speaker 8: with big expectations. You're just trying to see how his
Speaker 8: brain works and what type of item he's going to
Speaker 8: get for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, So what did he end up bringing for you?
Speaker 5: A cinnamon roll scented candle.
Speaker 8: And nothing says romance like cinnamon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like grandma, but it's safe, right, Yeah, he doesn't love.
Speaker 4: The smell of cinnamon.
Speaker 8: What was your reaction to that?
Speaker 10: I thought it was funny.
Speaker 5: I mean throughout the entire date, I started calling him
Speaker 5: b s E.
Speaker 9: Big fragrance energy.
Speaker 8: Oh there you go.
Speaker 2: Okay, created 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 gonna think of him.
Speaker 5: I did ask him like why he chose the cinnamon
Speaker 5: rolls sense and he was like, oh, I imagine.
Speaker 9: You're smelling like this, which I thought was kind of cute.
Speaker 8: Interesting.
Speaker 4: Do you work at a mall? Is that maybe why.
Speaker 5: No, I don't imagine.
Speaker 9: I don't know why he imaged it.
Speaker 1: I think he probably couldn't come up with another reason,
Speaker 1: and he was just blurting out whatever.
Speaker 4: One of the checkout aisle.
Speaker 8: Basically okay, take us through the rest of the day.
Speaker 5: I mean, we weren't only talking about candles, but he
Speaker 5: let me text him a candle recommendation list. Oh, because
Speaker 5: I got into candles a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: Wait, could he have been insulted by that?
Speaker 8: Like maybe like the implication is, here's a bunch of
Speaker 8: other candles you should buy for me. Yeah, there are
Speaker 8: 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 5: Anything.
Speaker 2: You give someone a ring and they're like, here's better rings.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't think it offended him when it was
Speaker 5: like happening when I said it to him, because we
Speaker 5: were laughing and stuff. Okay, But then at the end
Speaker 5: of the day, I was open for a kiss because
Speaker 5: it was going so well. Yeah, but he just gave
Speaker 5: me a hug, and then I was like, Okay, well,
Speaker 5: maybe he's still being a gentleman. Or something, because I
Speaker 5: thought he was going to ask me in the next
Speaker 5: forty eight hours to go out on the next date,
Speaker 5: but he didn't.
Speaker 9: Like maybe he actually was offended. Like you 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 5: No?
Speaker 9: No, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 5: It was kind of like a one saying yeah.
Speaker 8: But with the list that you send, in his mind,
Speaker 8: it might be implied that he's expected to show up.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, what if he's saving up for a
Speaker 3: candle or like that's all he's like, I just need
Speaker 3: twelve dollars.
Speaker 4: More than twelve bucks.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, he's trying. Got multiple candles on your list.
Speaker 8: It could be a big problem.
Speaker 6: So see, you overwhelmed him with wax.
Speaker 8: You expected a date within forty eight hours. That hasn't happened.
Speaker 8: How long has it been?
Speaker 9: Maybe a week?
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, and you haven't heard anything, nothing.
Speaker 5: And you know, I'm gonna just point because I really
Speaker 5: do like him, and he's really freaking cute and I
Speaker 5: 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 4: Here's a picture of it in my house. You like
Speaker 4: that one? He can't keep.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, every time you used the candle.
Speaker 2: I had to blow it out for ten minutes. But
Speaker 2: I'm back. Yeah, he's a picture.
Speaker 4: Don't blow a candle out that soon.
Speaker 8: My husband, did you do that?
Speaker 2: Property?
Speaker 8: Have you texted him a picture using the candle?
Speaker 9: I did? I did? I mean the first time.
Speaker 5: It makes sense, but then that was like awkwardly the
Speaker 5: last thing that was sexted.
Speaker 1: It would be kind of funny if you took your
Speaker 1: candle with you everywhere you wait and set them updates,
Speaker 1: like here's the candle on the.
Speaker 7: Bus, don't do.
Speaker 6: The gym together.
Speaker 8: No, okay, let's not laugh. This was a very very
Speaker 8: cute gift, and now we're minimalizing it. I feel like
Speaker 8: there is a really sincere reason that he's not.
Speaker 4: Calling you serious. Okay, I did know this.
Speaker 8: Serious, making jokes of true romance. So let's try and
Speaker 8: do this the right way. When we come back, we'll
Speaker 8: call Corey and get you your second date update right
Speaker 8: after this. Thank you, hold on second date update.
Speaker 10: Imagine sticky sweet sugar melting into ribbons of cinnamon spice
Speaker 10: with the aroma of buttery dough rising into the air
Speaker 10: like temptation itself.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I think I'm pregnant.
Speaker 4: Did you just make that sexy somehow?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: That sounds amazing.
Speaker 10: It doesn't just smell good, it seduces the room.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 8: What I just described was a gift our listener Allison
Speaker 8: received on her first date, a cinnamon roll scented candle
Speaker 8: from Corey.
Speaker 4: Most people think of Grandma's, but not jeff.
Speaker 8: An. Yeah, where my mind goes. But afterwards, Corey has disappeared,
Speaker 8: just like a box of cinnabon left in our breakroom.
Speaker 8: The one thing Alison things she may have done wrong
Speaker 8: is send him a list of other candle sense that
Speaker 8: she likes, which even Brooke agreed is a little bit presumptuous, right, Brooke.
Speaker 4: I could see it being read wrong. I don't think
Speaker 4: that that was her intention.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, I have a husband who loves candles,
Speaker 1: and he has a long list of his favorite sense.
Speaker 4: How to care for the candle, how to cut the wick.
Speaker 4: There is a lot of rules.
Speaker 8: My rule about candles is whatever you do, don't eat it.
Speaker 8: And it's a tough one. I have to remind myself
Speaker 8: every time. I know Allison. You didn't do that right,
Speaker 8: You didn't bite into your salmon eral candle?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, okay, good, all right, we
Speaker 5: can rule.
Speaker 8: We need to ass I mean, that's true. You never
Speaker 8: know what happens on these second date updates. People end
Speaker 8: up doing weird stuff we never thought of all the time.
Speaker 8: So let's call Corey and find out if he's a
Speaker 8: candle fiend, just like Brooks husband. Here we go in
Speaker 8: a dial his number right now. Hello, Hey, we're looking
Speaker 8: to speak with Corey.
Speaker 9: Speaking.
Speaker 8: Hey, this is a radio show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's up Corey Brook?
Speaker 8: Super cool radio show obviously based on what you've just heard. No,
Speaker 8: super sure, but we're called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 9: I'm just so confused.
Speaker 8: So many people, Yeah, a lot of people.
Speaker 9: I help you. What's going on?
Speaker 8: Well, this is a segment that we do. It's called
Speaker 8: Second Date Update. We're trying to help out one of
Speaker 8: our listeners who's asked us to reach out to you.
Speaker 8: A woman you went out with recently named Alison.
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 8: First impressions about Alison.
Speaker 9: She's an interesting girl. She's definitely a quirky person.
Speaker 8: Interesting, quirky are good things right, not always? Okay, we
Speaker 8: we know that something must be up because you have
Speaker 8: not reached out to Alison trying to arrange a second date,
Speaker 8: and she just is a little confused about why it
Speaker 8: hasn't happened.
Speaker 9: Yeah. I think she's a little odd.
Speaker 8: Allison's odd.
Speaker 9: Yeah, she's a little odd. She had asked for me
Speaker 9: to bring her a gift to our first date.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean she told us about that, and actually
Speaker 8: she said she really appreciated the gift that you got her.
Speaker 9: Yeah, oh she did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Miss Cinnamon roll Kandle.
Speaker 9: Correct.
Speaker 8: Yes, I mean, okay, is that the reason?
Speaker 9: Well no, so she I don't know if she told you,
Speaker 9: but she actually in fact got me two gifts.
Speaker 4: Wait, she brought you something.
Speaker 8: She didn't mention that at all. Wow.
Speaker 9: To be honest, she kind of surprised me because I
Speaker 9: thought I was really the only one who's going to
Speaker 9: be bringing a gift.
Speaker 3: But I love that she set him up, like here,
Speaker 3: we give me a gift to test him, and then
Speaker 3: she had a gift to you.
Speaker 4: Guys don't get gifts very often. It seems like that
Speaker 4: would make you feel special, right.
Speaker 8: Why are you framing it as a bad thing?
Speaker 9: Well, it wasn't so much like the idea of the gift.
Speaker 9: That was the gifts that she brought that made me
Speaker 9: feel the uneasy uneasy.
Speaker 4: Oh, I am so curious as to what she brought me.
Speaker 2: Not the right stuff.
Speaker 8: Hopefully it's not her baby teeth that she's been saving
Speaker 8: for the right guy? Amal in it? What was the gift?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 9: The first one there was a rock that she found
Speaker 9: on the sidewalk that morning, a rock.
Speaker 4: That could be kind of funny, like is it shaped
Speaker 4: like a heart or something? You know?
Speaker 9: No, just a rock and I just thought weird taking
Speaker 9: it because she said it was her lucky rock and
Speaker 9: she has given it to me likes mean to me.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it's she just found it, you know, It's
Speaker 8: not like it was lucky for that day.
Speaker 4: Yeahket a rock.
Speaker 8: That she found this morning. What was gift number two?
Speaker 9: The second gift she handed me was like a homemade
Speaker 9: coupon book.
Speaker 1: I don't know, yeah, yeah, like this is good for
Speaker 1: one BackRub, this is good for all do the dishes?
Speaker 8: They're usually sexy things, Yeah.
Speaker 4: They're usually things in relationships?
Speaker 6: Is that what it was?
Speaker 9: One coupon was for one good existential conversation. Another one
Speaker 9: was about like a midnight call where we talk about aliens.
Speaker 8: Aliens specifically.
Speaker 1: You can't talk about those at lunchtime. It's only a conversation.
Speaker 9: The other one was one deep discussion about the meaning
Speaker 9: of socks in society.
Speaker 4: On your feet, I do a bit of joke. I
Speaker 4: mean that sounds funny.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, also kind of romantic. Do you know was
Speaker 8: it a joke?
Speaker 9: I mean, she's a bit luu, so it seems like, oh,
Speaker 9: probably on brand for her. I just kind of like
Speaker 9: kill the mood.
Speaker 4: Maybe the socks doesn't turn them on, Jeff, it does you.
Speaker 8: Well, I know how to bring the mood right back up,
Speaker 8: and that's by letting you know that Allison is on
Speaker 8: the other line right now, listening, waiting to talk to
Speaker 8: you about alien tonspiracy theories. So go ahead, Allison's not midnight.
Speaker 9: Hey, Corey, Allison, what are you doing?
Speaker 5: I really thought the date went great, honestly, and I'm
Speaker 5: a little shocked right now that you're finding that little
Speaker 5: coupon book I made you weird.
Speaker 9: I think it's.
Speaker 5: Fun, especially like the docks of society, like docs are underrated,
Speaker 5: like they say a lot about culture, personality, like way
Speaker 5: more than people realize.
Speaker 9: Okay, it just for a bit odds for the first
Speaker 9: time eating Allison.
Speaker 4: It's a little strange that you didn't bring it up
Speaker 4: with us.
Speaker 5: I didn't you guys ever really asked.
Speaker 4: About the existential coupon book.
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, I agree with all of the things
Speaker 8: that you're saying, but putting it into a coupon book
Speaker 8: on a first date. I think that's the part that's
Speaker 8: a little odd.
Speaker 6: But that's why I thought it was a joke though, Like,
Speaker 6: were you kidding?
Speaker 2: Were you being lighthearted.
Speaker 5: Above the aliens? Yes, Like we can have that call
Speaker 5: any I am okay everything else.
Speaker 8: So she's just talking about the time frame when she
Speaker 8: can have the alien discussion, and not just midnight anytime
Speaker 8: of day.
Speaker 2: But you are down to chopping up.
Speaker 1: About alien It is funnier when you say aliens at
Speaker 1: midnight for some reason the time zone is.
Speaker 8: Okay, Corey, Does that clear it all up for you?
Speaker 9: 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 5: Yes, I can, I can open your mind and all
Speaker 5: that good stuff.
Speaker 8: Yeah, just going to date with me.
Speaker 4: She's robbing a Himalayan salt rocks.
Speaker 9: My mind is pretty open, but I don't know just
Speaker 9: a bit much.
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, what about big fragrant energy gay
Speaker 5: right b f E.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, if I'm not feeling it, I'm not
Speaker 9: feeling it. I'm sure like that's true.
Speaker 8: I mean, Allison, and if this is how Corey feels,
Speaker 8: maybe he's not the right guy for you. You need
Speaker 8: somebody that matches your same vibe, your same energy that
Speaker 8: you're looking for.
Speaker 4: He needs to find a right sock to her left sock.
Speaker 9: Jeff romantic, but I like him.
Speaker 5: And I mean, I didn't even tell you. If there's
Speaker 5: another coupon in there, that's one free awkward hug, an
Speaker 5: awkward one.
Speaker 6: Oh you guys get a hug and be like no, no, no,
Speaker 6: that was way too good.
Speaker 3: We got to make it weird whole day.
Speaker 8: So you don't want to pass up that opportunity, because
Speaker 8: we would pay for you two to go out on
Speaker 8: another date. If you'll agree to it. Just give it
Speaker 8: one chanced, kid.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's so funny.
Speaker 9: I actually think your host should go on a date
Speaker 9: with her because he seems really excited about a lot
Speaker 9: of the things she's saying.
Speaker 4: Triple awkward hug.
Speaker 2: Anybody else wanted circle.
Speaker 8: Even though this didn't end up working out, there's not
Speaker 8: going to be a second date. I do think something
Speaker 8: positive came out of us. We were able to figure
Speaker 8: out that you're two different people after two different things,
Speaker 8: and that's okay.
Speaker 9: Yeah. Can I just say, like Corey, you can't use
Speaker 9: that coupon book with anyone else. It only works with me.
Speaker 6: Oh, she's gonna get jealous.
Speaker 9: I think that's a deal.
Speaker 4: Oh, I feel like he's already thrown out the book.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's working Jeffrey in the morning. Honestly, I don't
Speaker 8: know why she's being persecuted for being creative with her
Speaker 8: cubon book.
Speaker 4: Oh, you're on your side out.
Speaker 8: Most of the time, coupons are like one free back rub,
Speaker 8: one day of me doing chores naked in the house,
Speaker 8: and those are so old and played out. It's nice
Speaker 8: to hear someone actually put some creativity and like shake
Speaker 8: it up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Dude, I want to do the sock one, Like when
Speaker 1: when do we do the sock segment?
Speaker 4: Let her on and just let her go.
Speaker 8: That would be fun. But of course, you know us men.
Speaker 8: We don't like new ideas or creative shakeups to our
Speaker 8: normal routine where simple creatures who like the same old
Speaker 8: crap over and over and over forever till we're dead.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Somehow someone's gonna say, Brooke, why are you
Speaker 1: saying such mean things about men?
Speaker 4: Yeah, jeff that's me.
Speaker 8: I hate us, and you can hate. Listen to us
Speaker 8: online wherever you get your podcasts, they're up at Brook
Speaker 8: and Jeffrey. Or if you ever need help with your
Speaker 8: dating life, email the show. We'll call that person who's
Speaker 8: not calling you back
Speaker 4: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning
