for you today. It's Brooke and Jeffrey. This is the official podcast. And, um... Oh, yeah, tell them. Uh-oh, what's wrong, Brooke? We need to apologize. We do.

For yesterday's awkward audio. Yes. Oh, yeah. So, listen, there was a little switch on one of the mics. We are not. engineers. Okay, it was flipped on. We didn't realize. Yep. We thought it sounded okay in our headphones.

It's a long story about how the board works. You don't need to know that. But first, we have some comments. What do we blame? Can we blame a random person? Let's blame Ashton. Yeah. Yeah. Your guys' comments were really funny about it, though. We got sounds like everyone in the studios in an empty closet. Are y'all in a wind tunnel? Did they cut the budget and force you all to make this episode in a closet? I'll stream more. This sounds like you're in the shower recording the show, by the way. Jeff, don't let the soap fall down. Yeah, and then a few more saying, I think you're all in the bathroom together. I bet Jeff's happy about that.

Yeah, well, if you missed yesterday's awkward Tuesday, you go back and listen. The second part, we fixed it. Yes, it's just part one. Oh, okay. Yeah. We've never claimed to be perfect. No. Yeah.

Sorry about that. I believe this is somewhat error-free, this new episode. So enjoy the second day. Listen for the flaws. Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. If you're single, where is the number one hot place to meet people?

I mean, sure, you can meet someone doing the pretzel at a Pilates class or eating a pretzel at a baseball game. I actually eat the pretzels at the Pilates class. Yeah, too bold. But what if you could go somewhere where you get the best value for a pretzel plus a date along with it? I can't decide. It's losing me. Is the pretzel the most important part?

It is. It is the crux of this entire segment. Because that place exists. And our listener, Amy, says it was the furthest thing from her mind that she'd end up meeting a guy there. But it happened. So, Amy, we got to know. Where was this? We actually met at the Costco food court. Hey.

Oh, yes. Yeah. Got a million things. Plus, apparently, some cute guys on the menu, too. Hey, well, Costco. Tell us the story. What happened, Amy? Yeah, so I was hanging out in the food court because I was getting my tires done at the tires.

Oh, I thought you were just putting out the vibes. Oh. Yeah. I was just like on my phone watching Reels on Insta, kind of laughing to myself. And then this guy kind of like comes up behind me and he's like, oh, you look like you're having fun over here. Oh. Oh. And he sits across from me.

And then you finally look up and realize he's cute and not annoying? Well, stay with me. Oh. I realize he's like 10, 15 years younger than me. Younger? Oh. You don't sound very old. Yeah.

He just got out of middle school and he came up to shoot a shot. Well, it's not even the worst part. The worst part is that he was wearing a cape. Oh, my gosh. He's wearing a cape? Now I'm hoping it is a guy. Now I am picturing. How old is this guy?

Are we talking early 20s or are we talking literally teens? Yeah, very early 20s. Okay. All right. So the cape is obviously a turn on. Keep going. Why the cave? Because he's the Costco crusader.

Duh. Yeah, I had to ask. Turns out he's a LARPER. Oh, that action explains it. Live action role play. So he had a plastic sword with him. I mean, listeners don't know. It's like where people dress up in like medieval stuff and then they sword fight in parks.

Yeah. I feel like that was pretty self-explanatory. I don't know. Some people don't know it. Yeah, just in case. Okay. So this LARPers. sits down across from you and you are super turned on.

What happens next? Well, I'm trying to get rid of him because, like, I'm just trying to wait for my tires. Okay. Okay. Okay. So he asked, he's like, do you want to go somewhere to eat? I'll pay. And I'm like, no.

I already had my hot dog. Like, I'm just, I'm good. Dude, the confidence on this guy. Yeah. Waiting to Cape to do this. I love it. That is very bold of him to, like, not only just ask you out right there as soon as he met you, He wanted to, like, take you to a different place and eat somewhere else.

And didn't even take his cape off for it. Well, and then I noticed, I think he was, like, kind of looking at his friends that were in the corner that also looked like LARPA people. Oh. Just a group of elves in the aisle 8? Yeah. So maybe his friends put him up to this. Is that what you're thinking at that point? Maybe, yeah.

And then, you know, he leaves finally. Oh. Okay. Okay. Why are you telling us about him if the date isn't with him? Yeah. Is this the guy we're calling? So I'm still in the food court.

And like 15, 20 minutes later, this guy in a business suit sits diagonal to me. And then we start to talk. You know, it's just like normal small talk, Costco talk. I told him about the larper guy. He thought that was funny. He's like, I'm larping right now. This isn't my suit. Business cosplay.

business larping So now you're getting hit on It sounds like a second time By a completely different guy By a different dude At the same Costco food quarter Are you getting a better vibe from this guy? Yes

Definitely getting a better vibe Like there was like this old lady Kind of at the table next to us And she spills her Coke Her Diet Coke And then he like got up right away And like got a bunch of napkins And like helped her clean it up

That's nice I just remember that was like really nice Right That is nice I don't know he took his attention away from you to focus on a different woman. Some might say, but, you know, okay. You'd be jealous.

Yeah. A girl gets up from Jeff's date. Excuse me, I'm over here. Yeah. I think she can handle it herself. So did you actually connect with this guy on a romantic level in the Costco food court? The vibes were good. So I get a text that my tires are ready.

I'm like, oh, I have to go, but it was really nice to meet you. And then he gives me a business card. And he's like, I'd love to take you out sometimes. get to know you more. Oh. What does his business card say? What does it do for a living?

It's kind of weird. Like the business card, huh? I like that. He's flexing. I would assume he's flexing. Not many people carrying them anymore. Does it just say businessman? Call me for business.

Entrepreneur. I got a business card once from a guy that, and then his business said he was a love smuggler. Oh. Yeah. His name was Zoltran. Oh. I thought you married him. I'm at the love of your home.

Oh, okay. That's super weird Shout out if you're watching This dude that you met in Costco sounds legit Does he have a name? Yeah, his name is Kai Kai, okay Kai, okay

It's a cool name It's better than Zoltran for sure So sorry to him I never went out with Zoltran But he did always send me The longitude and latitude Of where he was going to be A Burning Man every year

Oh my God Now I want to hear about this guy More I know the less I like it So what's happened since Costco With Kai Have you been talking to him? Yes, so we texted a little bit, like, a few days after. And then, like, texting kind of stopped.

And that was, like, a week and a half ago. Oh. It's, like, so rare to meet someone in person. So I just want to know, like, what's going on. Like, did he meet someone else? Was he, like, not into me? Well, apparently everybody's meeting everybody at this Costco food court. So is there a chance?

I went back there and found a new woman. Oh, no. I mean, at Costco, you get everything in bulk. So why not include dates in that? You've got four girlfriends. There's not that many single people at Costco. Yeah, it's a family. Like the LARPA kid was definitely on his mom's membership while he was there.

There's nothing wrong with that. And he was in a group too, remember. Well, let's find out. When we come back, we'll call Kai the businessman and find out what business he's been up to that's stopping him from going out on a date with you. Yeah, what's your business, Kai? Exactly. We'll do it with your second date update right after this. Thank you.

All right. Hold on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. An interesting place to meet someone is at the Costco food court. That's what happened to our listener, Amy. She met not just one guy there, but two while waiting for her tires to be done. And the first dude, maybe wasn't quite what she was hoping for.

He had a cape on, was hanging out with his Magic, The Gathering Friends. And even though she didn't say this, I just got the feeling that he probably asked for a sip of her sprite. Well, he was 10 to 15 years younger. You're of a boy than a man. Yeah. Hey, you got any games on your phone? You're not going to drink all of that, are you? Can I sip a second straw in there?

But then a second dude walked over, a much better dude. Oh, yeah. A businessman. A businessman in a business suit. Yeah, all about that business. Business walk, who did all the business talk. Opposite, pretty much. To be promptly business ghosted her.

Yeah. Yeah. Amy, who doesn't meet a lot of guys, doesn't mean any guys online, or a lot of normal guys out in the real world wants to know why. Yeah. I mean, Amy, you haven't heard back from Kai. Have you been back to the Costco food court? Because that was kind of like a sampling of single men for you at one point.

I haven't done my weekly Costco trip yet. But I don't know. I want to know what's going on with Kai. Okay. We're going to go back to the well. You know how they always say you want what you can have? This is the perfect example. The nice guy wants to date.

I'll take you to date right now. If you want to leave right now, I'll go. And then there's the guy that's like, Oh, you're rooting for the LARPing kid. I am. That's interesting. This guy forgot to call her back, and she's like, I need to know. All right.

I don't know that we want to date the 20-year-old. No, I want to call a Larp kid. He's going to be faithful. I'm sure his mom will be back there to get a bunch of, like, chocolate covered pretzels for him when he's done. But first, let's focus on Kai. We'll see if he's really, like, ghosting you on purpose, or if something else is up.

We'll dial his number right now. we go. Hey, is this Kai? Speaking? Hey, Kai. Very business-like response there, Kai. Good morning and condolences. What? Oh, God.

I don't know how business. Kai, I'm sorry, man. We're a radio show. That's why it's so weird over here. Hey, good morning. Trying to get all up in your business. Let's take it from a nine down to a two, guys. Yeah, I think you guys might have a wrong number.

No. No, sorry. Sorry. We have the right guy because you are somebody who met a listener of ours out recently. And it kind of falls underneath the umbrella of this segment that we do called a second date update. Let me kind of, loosely. Yeah, because we know that there wasn't like an actual date that happened. Yeah.

I haven't been on any dates or something. Right. But our listener, Amy, says that you two met at a Costco food court a little while back. Amy? Yeah, Amy, remember, you sat across. customer and she like had a pizza or something. You had a pizza and then you picked up a grandma's drink or... Brooke, why don't you let me handle the details?

That was it. That's like he spilled a grandma's drink. Yeah, no. No, he helped. Yeah, some old lady nearby spilled her coke and you volunteered to go help her. And Amy thought that was really sweet. It was. Okay.

I'm sorry, what is the point of all this? Well, she liked you. She felt that there was some sort of connection happening. and she thought, since you gave your business card to her, and you were talking afterwards, there would be another meetup. But that hasn't happened. Yeah, you know, we did share a couple of texts. I just don't think it's going to work out in the long run, to be honest.

Can I ask, Kai, at one point, did you think that it would be nice to take Amy out on a date? Yeah, I mean, that's why I gave her my card. Okay. I just, you know, I quickly learned that it just wasn't going to work. Quickly learned. When you say you realize that something was off or it wasn't going to work, what do you mean by that? I guess different priorities. How can you tell what her priorities are after just a couple of texts?

Are we missing something? I don't want, I mean, this is going to sound, I just don't want to be, like, judged by you guys. It's okay. You're anonymous. That's sweet. You're worried about our opinions Look, you know, there are just certain things That you learn about a person

And you just realize you're on a different path than them And so one of those is I don't know if she mentioned I'm actually, I've got the executive level Costco membership and she doesn't Oh, I've heard about that Okay That tells me a lot about how, you know

Tells you what How she takes, you know, the seriousness Of like her life and her future What? I'm going at Costco two, three times a week for protein for bulking. How much protein can you be? I'm worried about your digestive system. I do a lot of meal prep.

I do a lot of meal prep. They already sell everything in bulk. Wait, are you being seriously? I mean, I just want to know what the normal membership says about someone. Yeah. It says to me that they just don't prioritize their life. Okay, can I say something? Oh.

Hi, hello. Yeah. I don't know. You didn't opt for the higher level membership of this second date. Yeah, that's Amy. She's been waiting on the other line waiting to talk to you. Oh, come on. Hey.

Sorry. Hey, hi. I'm sorry. I just want to, so the reason you don't want to go out is because I don't have the executive Costco membership. Like, that's the issue. Yeah. You say it's so matter-of-factually. I think there's some things left unsaid that she needs to hear from you.

All right. You get in an hour earlier with the executive membership. So like what? You want me to get there at a normal time and wait on line with the rest of the regular people. Oh, my God. You get 2% cashback rewards with the executive membership, which pays for itself. So it says to me, because it doesn't cost that much more money for the executive membership, that you don't take your financial health seriously.

Whoa. Wow. Oh my gosh. He brings up some good points, Amy. Do you have anything to say to that? Wow. You know, I really thought that I met a normal person at Costco, but clearly I didn't. You're financially illitering.

You met an executive member. He's not normal. Amy, I'm sorry. We're both literally and figurative at different status levels, and I can't be the one to, like, be teaching you how to get to the next. next step. For me, that's a deal breaker. Oh, my God. This is crazy.

It's a little on the unusual side. It is crazy to not take advantage of all the benefits that executive members do get. But, Kai, even if, like, even if this is the issue, like, she's not going to stop you from having your membership. You can still go in early. So what? So I'm going to go in, go early, come back with all my stuff, and she's not going to have been able to go yet.

And so I'm going to feel stupid by that. I thought to fall out. It's not worth it. Why do you both have to go to Costco so much? Yeah, that's also true. Amy, you're holding him back from his Costco privileges, and he can't afford to do that. Is this serious?

I don't know. I think there's something else, and this is his excuse. This is pretty weird. I don't know any single person that has an executive membership to Costco. That's a great point. Well, that makes sense. Those are out of your friend group. Yeah, because you're not good enough.

So. Like, how are you going to meet somebody? He'll meet somebody when he goes in an hour before the rest of the normies to get to go in. But executive memberships are all going to be like quality people, yes. I'm sorry. I feel like it's going to be like vending machine guys and then married people. What's a vending machine guy? I don't know. Like people who stock the vending machines, they get a lot of their products at Costco.

Or maybe people are putting together concession stands for school events. Like, that's who you're going to get in that early hour. You hold them in high regard, though, clearly. Yeah. So people helping the community is not good to mean. Yeah, but they're just not going to be single. That's what I'm saying. I don't know, Kai.

I mean, we always have to offer to ask at the end of this segment every time if you'd like to go on one more date with Amy, despite all of her flaws and shortcomings. I mean, what a man you'd be if you could look past it. Yeah, because we would pay for it. No, I'm good. Thank you, though. Wow. Wow.

Okay. I'm sure Amy's distraught. Amy, I'm sorry. You're not a high enough Costco member. Yeah, I guess not. I guess I'm not good enough. Maybe show him and join Sam's Club. Ooh.

You can't even afford Sam's Club, girl. Honestly, this whole thing is so stupid. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, I guess it's back to the LARPA for you, Amy. We'll do that second date that Jose's been wanting. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Hey Jonas is available now, and their first guest is a big one. Paul Rudd. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition at the office or something? I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchor Man.

Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to me, right? Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. You know, it's funny that she didn't even really argue with him that much over his problem. I think she was stunned. Yeah. I mean, honestly.

Like, I mean, Jose may have said it at one point where he's like, it's got to be something else. Yeah. You know, this has got to be a cover for something. Was she stunned or did she know deep down that he was right? Oh. And he is better and she's just not Costco executive material. You know, I didn't bring it up. But why would you want to go earlier to Costco?

Because they're not going to have the sample people there yet. It's like going on a Wednesday night really late. You don't get any of the samples. It's not very fun. You were so good at this. You're just there for the free stuff. You've got to go in the prime area to get the free stuff. I mean, shopping and being fed is a huge benefit.

There's just so much inequality and elitism in this world. I never thought Costco would be contributing to the social divide. Oh, my gosh. But there they are. I know. They're just trying to bring people. together in bulk. It backfired. How did that happen? The good news is no executive status is needed to reach out and email the show.

No, no. No status at all. We take anybody. I mean, you can still pay us if you want. Yeah. But it's not a requirement. Literally anybody. If you need help with your dating life, we'll call that person who's not calling you back. Go check out our podcasts. They're up online wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey.
