Second Date Update. I just saw a dating study that found 86% of women who make the first move will end up marrying that person. Whoa. Isn't that crazy? That's wild. Oh, my God. I got a move put on me recently.

This is great. Oh, my God. I'm engaged. Guys, if you ever see a girl walking towards you at a bar making eye contact. Wait, that's a move? You need to run. Okay. you at a bar making eye contact, you need to run. Or throw a glass of beer against the wall, pull the

fire alarm, whatever distraction you need to make, because if she does successfully make contact, science says you're about to be tied to that woman forever. Let me bring it up because one of our listeners, Julia, says that she recently

made the first move on a guy. Good for you. And now she needs our help. So, Julia, can I assume you're also ready to walk down the aisle with him and say I do? Oh, my gosh. Yes, yes. Wait, what?

Did you really just agree to that, Julia? The science doesn't lie. Thank you, Julia. Wait, is she being sarcastic? Are you being sarcastic? No, I'm not. I mean, I'm getting older and I also saw this study

and I was like, you know what? I'm gonna make it happen. I'm gonna be more proactive. Alright. So who was your victim? Okay, so Good choice of words there. I was going out with my girlfriend and I have this thing that I do where I go up to a guy, and I'll ask him to take a photo of us.

Okay. Yes. That's good. The guy should obviously help if he's a nice dude. It's not going to be a good photo, but. That doesn't sound like it's the point is not to get a good photo. It will be blurry from the chin up. Yeah, okay.

I'm just going to delete it immediately. But it helps you, like, have a good icebreaker, I guess, in order to meet him. Yeah, okay. She's going to delete it immediately. But it helps you, like, have a good icebreaker, I guess, in order to meet him. Yeah, exactly. And I think this was the third time I had done this. And we had this kind of chemistry, kind of awkward chemistry. But you can feel it. Okay. So you guys are in a bar.

He takes your photo. Yeah. So then I was like, oh, he already has my phone. I was like, do you want to go for a pie? And he was like, what? Go for a pie. I thought you were going to say, put your phone already has my phone. I was like, do you want to go for pie? And he was like, what? Go for pie? I thought you were going to say, put your phone number in my phone. Yeah, same.

Yeah, it's a smooth move. Go for pie would work. Have we even learned what his name is yet? Or are you just immediately asking him out to pie? No, we did names first. Okay. Okay. What is his name?

Travis. Travis. Travis. All right. Wait, is the pie move what you did on the other two guys too? No, no. This was a new one for me. I was like, I saw this viral video of this cute little pie shop in our area.

Oh, I don't think I've seen this. Oh, okay. But you're at a bar. Is it open still? Like pie shops are usually- Midnight pie. No, we got our numbers and we were texting back and forth. Okay, so you're not doing pie

that night. You're asking for a later date where you can meet up and get pie. Okay. Yes. So I picked him up because I was the one that suggested the date. Oh, wow. You really took the lead. Well, she knows where the pie is. Yeah. Okay. And we come upon this house

and I was like, this can't be it. We made a wrong turn. At a house? Yeah. At a house? Yeah, at a house. For pie? It's like a cute house with a porch. And then I see this little sign that says pies with the arrow. And I was like, huh, this must be it. Oh, my God, it feels even more legit now.

It's a speakeasy pie shop. It really is. That's awkward. Weird. Oh, I think it's so exciting. This is why it's trending. You're just going to walk into somebody's house and ask for their pies? Some of the best food.

This is like when a grandma has tamales on the side of the road. You want to buy those tamales, bro. I can't believe you guys think this is so normal to just have a pie shop inside of somebody's home. I don't think it's normal. That's why I want the address to be able to go myself, Jeff. Okay. What was it like inside? Was it sketch?

We opened the door, and it's a living room full of pies. There's like 20 pies. I bet that smells amazing in that room. I bet she's a grandma doing this for fun. Okay. Yeah. And what? Is there like an employee there that's there to like help you pick out your pie?

Employee? No. That was someone's house, I bet. That was the weird part. There was no one there. What? Nobody at all? Okay, so you broke into someone's empty home and stole their pies.

Actually, at this point, yeah. No, there was a sign, Jeff. It's legit. Yeah, but still. Yeah, as long as there's a welcome mat on the ground, any house you can go into. I'm Jeff. This is sketch now. It said pie with an arrow.

Okay, so what do you do now that you're in this living room full of pies? Well, we're looking around. We're getting a little freaked out, a little bit. And then we see this sign that says honor system. Yep. Oh, honor system. I go back to my car, get this bag, because we bought three. Three pies.

Why are you pies? Wow. They support local, okay? That's a lot of pies. It is a lot of pies. So do you take the pies? So, yeah, you take the pies out? Like, what do you do?

Where do you eat them? Yeah, they have these plastic forks there. And I was like, okay, well, I guess we'll just eat in the car. Like, there's nowhere to sit. Oh, wait, now you're having car pie? That's not very romantic. I think it's really cute and romantic. You're having a romantic first date.

Maybe for women, this is sounding very romantic. As a guy, I don't know if this is the hottest date I've ever been on. It's not romantic. It's fun. Yeah, it is fun. Again, for women, that sounds like a great time. Come on, Jeff. I'm just not a sit in a car, eat pie type of guy.

You've never tried it. But how did it go with you and Travis eating car pie? It was a little awkward. Okay, why? Why was it awkward? Because both of us are holding a pie and eating it with a plastic fork. Yeah. Okay.

I mean, did it end? Like, did you eat the whole pie? No. That may be the problem. I actually didn't really know how to end it. So I just went back to the beginning of how we first met. And I was like, can you take a picture of me eating this pie? That's kind of funny.

Did he laugh? I want to see this photo so badly. did he react is it important he was like oh my gosh yeah it just sounds like there was like a brief awkward moment like it's not like it's not your fault he didn't do anything either sure so how is it between you and travis now oh good question um well i dropped him off and i texted him and it's been like cordial but nothing like hey let's go on another date oh okay dude you should take him on a pastry tour of the city i think we've had we've done enough of like the bakery theme for once yeah maybe just like netflix and chill sometime or a bar like i don't know maybe more like a normal date i can't even get him to ask me out for another date, so let's just start there.

Okay. It is his turn this time. We'll see what he has to say when we come back and give him a call and try and get you your second date update a la mode right after. Okay. Second date update. You know what's more romantic than a quaint little pie shop in someone's empty living room? What, Jeff?

Is taking those pies and walking 20 feet outside to the driveway and eating them in your car with plastic forks. I love this. Sounds like a scene from the TLC show My 400 Pound Life. But

it's not. It's actually a date that our listener Julia went on with a guy named Travis, and she probably ended up throwing up from eating so much pie. She didn't say that, but we do know that the guy she went out with is not initiating another hangout, which is disappointing to her. So she's turned to us for a little bit of help. Yeah. I mean, have you texted him or anything? You said you talked a little bit. Yeah.

He's just kind of neutral. God, if you introduce him to the best pie of his life and you get neutrality back, how dare he? I mean, he didn't go off on the pie like I did. I was like, wow, this cherry's delicious. And he was like, yeah, it's pretty good. Oh, pretty good. You may be a foodie and he's not. We're going to find out when we call Travis right now.

Hopefully he answers the phone and has some explanation. Yeah, I want to know. I want to know what's up because I can fix whatever the problem is. You can fix it. I like it. I like that attitude. That's a can-do attitude. I just hope his mouth isn't full when he picks up the phone.

Here we go. I'm going to dial his number right now. Hello? Hey, is this Travis? Yes, I may ask who's calling. Yes, you may. Thank you for asking permission for that. My name is Jeff, and I'm part of a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. And you are on that radio show right now.

Hey, Travis. How you doing, buddy? What can I do for you? I was wondering, have you heard of a segment that we do on the radio sometimes called Audio First? Nobody has heard of that segment. I don't think he's heard of us. We barely remember that segment. Well, it's a great segment.

You should listen to our podcast sometime at Brooke and Jeffrey. Catching zero steam. That's not the segment you're on, Travis. We're doing a less fun segment than that called Second Date Update. Or our most successful, but that's okay. Well, yeah, but this is where we try

and help out our listeners if they've gone out with somebody and they're not getting a call back afterwards. We try to help figure out the reason why. Well, okay. I'm a little confused here, but yeah. Really? To make it really simple, you went out with someone who really likes you, and you haven't organized a second date yet. Yeah, and she's just wondering if maybe you're not interested or it's something maybe she could fix her name's julia oh oh my god

all right all right that's not a good reaction yeah i'm trying to read what you meant by that what did you think of julia i mean she's nice and all. Nice? Hearing this on the, yeah, I mean, it was definitely a first. What was the first? The pie part of your date? Here's the thing, man. She told us about what you guys did on your date, going to the house that was a pie shop. That was, like, famous on TikTok,

and it was just, like, an honor system sitch. Yeah. Yeah, that was definitely a first time for that. I've never. Well, that's good. I would hope you don't go into a lot of random people's homes and take their pies. No. Was that kind of cool or what did you think?

No, I was like, what is going on here? It was just weird. Confusing. No one was home. I feel like even though we left the right amount of money, I felt like I was stealing those ladies' pies right off the window. Oh, come on. Yeah, you did it.

And Julia was being adventurous, trying something new. That's definitely new. I don't know. Well, clearly that made you very uncomfortable. Was that more uncomfortable than going and eating car pie? Because we heard about that, too. About just sitting in it. I mean, like, you'll find a park that you can eat at a picnic bench

for all, you know, like, that's fine with me, but we were eating in the car. Well, then why didn't you suggest that? Yeah, you could change something. I mean, if that was an idea of yours, why didn't you say, hey, you know what? This is fun. Let's go somewhere and eat these. Because it was her date. She picked all of this stuff. I'm not going to sit here and be like,

all right, let's completely change your date, you know, that you had planned out for us. But she wants you to have a good time. Like, she didn't realize that you weren't having a good time. I mean, it was definitely all right,

but then it went from awkward to worse. And I... Oh, wow. Yeah. Wow, what? Well,

she asked me for some reason to take a picture with her and this pie. And I'm like, okay. So she hands me her phone and then i get her phone and i accidentally hit this picture square on the side and she's got another picture with some dude eating cake what i'm like what is going on here a slice of cake or a whole cake here's the whole cake in front of them. And I'm like, yo, this is like this girl's thing. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

It could be a friend, a brother. You don't know. Thank you, Alexis. You don't know anything about it. Did you ask her? No, I don't want to know who she's eaten other confections with. I can understand why you would feel uncomfortable, but maybe there's a better explanation for it.

And we can actually get that right now from Julia, who I need to let you know is on the other line listening to this. Oh, great. Hi. Great. Hi. I'm a little confused. Like, we were having fun.

Well, I think the part that he's upset about is the other dude with the full cake. Who is that? Well, I mean, this is what I don't get with people who are dating. Like, we're not exclusive. When you go on the dating app, you're dating other people and then people get pissed off when you're dating other people.

It's like, yeah. I don't think he's mad that he's dating other people. I think that maybe he feels like you're running a baked good game on a lot of guys. You know, it's like if you saw a guy's picture

taking someone else to the same place he took you. Like, that would feel a little weird. There were girls on the boat with a fish with him. Listen, I'm trying to get out there and find somebody that I can eat pie with. And right now it's you, Travis. Okay. Like I'm looking to get married.

Like I want to have kids. I want to have a life. So like I'm not messing around here. We all do, but you don't have to mention the same sentence. That's a lot to tell a guy. Yeah, I don't know. At least, but isn't it, aren't you appreciative of when people tell you? Like,

then it's not going to be a surprise of what she's looking for. For sure, like nine months in if they tell me that. Nine months? At least wasted nine months when they're ready to get married, Jeff. Spoiler alert, guys don't like to hear I want to marry you one day, then. Okay, well, you know what? I know what I want. I know what I want. I don't even know her last name.

Well, you don't need to because if i took anybody's last name it'd be yours you already know it now i mean i guess it's a good conversation like are you guys on the same plane in your dating life like is that something you're looking for right now travis is marriage i mean eventually but not on the first date and not okay good well we're gonna step away so that you can officially propose to her right now on the radio. Go ahead, Travis. That is not helping, Jeffrey. The airwaves are yours.

Whatever you want to say. Oh, my God. Everyone, shh, shh, shh. This is romantic. Hold on. There ain't nothing coming from me on this side. I think you should give her some grace here. Like, she gets nervous.

It's hard to approach people and ask them out and go on dates and come up with the ideas. As a guy, you should know that. Like, so she has a plan and it has been working for her. And no one really sticks to one person. She's not playing you or anything. She told you exactly what she's looking for. The picture was from two days prior. Yeah.

Yeah, well, it didn't work out, did it? I mean, I wouldn't be dating you if it worked out. Yeah, and Julia has not... We're not dating. Well, Julia has not asked us to call the Kate guy or the Keish guy or any of the other guys that she's taking photos with in her phone. How many guys is she with? Oh, gosh. Wow.

Well, how many girls are you with? How many girls are you dating? These are great questions to ask each other on your second date. How many girls are you dating is not a good question to ask on a date. It could be romantic. Or after you say I do, whatever it is. We would like. You are not setting her up for success.

We're kidding too much. Honestly. Can we get them together? I'm just going to ask because we're running out of time here. Travis, would you like to meet up with Julia one more time? And we will pay for that next date. I'm good, dude. There's got to be some muffin guy out there and some scone guy out there.

So it's a no. You're intimidated by the other guys in the band. I think that's too judgy. I'm not intimidated by pie. It's just weird that she's got confessions with every guy. And two, now she wants to marry me. I'm like, yo, whoa, whoa, whoa. Guys take girls to dinner. It's a weird that she's got confessions with every guy. And two, now she wants to marry me. I'm like, yo, yo, yo, yo. Guys take girls to dinner. It's a dinner over and over again.

She doesn't want to marry you right now. She just wants to get married. It's her goal. I mean, I know what I want. Like, you're not going to find a lot of girls that know what they're wanting. Cake and as much sugar as possible. Well, look, I'm sorry, Julia. It sounds like it's going to be a no from Travis. Wow. Okay, well, have fun like it's going to be a no from Travis.

Wow. Okay, well, have fun with the girl who doesn't know what she wants. I think he actually will. That's the point. Is it rude if I ask for those addresses to the pie and the cake place? Aw, bear. I'll definitely always think of you when I eat pie. Aw.

It could almost be romantic. That's kind of sweet, yeahoke and jeffrey in the morning i mentioned that a lot of guys get scared off immediately if they hear a woman say to them that she's ready to get married and i just i want to finish my thought on that real quick because i wanted more well listen i understand that instinct to immediately pull back at the mere mention of marriage. But I think that just because a woman knows that she wants that doesn't mean it's a big red flag and that she's completely obsessed and has a wedding dress ready in her car and you got to run. Thank you for validating. It might just mean that she's confident in who she is right now and knows exactly what she's working towards.

And that might actually be a good thing in what a guy needs in his life right now. I mean, if anything, this call highlights the downside of meeting someone in person. Because if they'd met on a dating app, he'd already know that she wants marriage and kids in a pantry full of pastry.

She would have posted it right there on her bio. So I think the lesson here is don't meet people in person. That's a weird way to get there. I don't think that's the lesson. Okay, what's the lesson here is don't meet people in person. That's not a weird way to get there. I don't think that's the lesson. Okay. What's the lesson? I don't know that there's a lesson.

I think that they weren't right for each other. I think that's all there is to it. Okay. Communication. I don't know. We can go with yours, though, if you want to. It's not as funny as yours. Yeah.

Okay. Sure. But the thing is, we are always willing to be on your side and help you with your love life yeah no matter how dire it may seem dude and if it doesn't work out i'll come and meet you for cake and eat some yeah pie whatever i can't tell that's a more loser situation or winner i don't know it almost seems like a threat from brooke i really like baked goods yeah but we will we will come help you whatever you need, especially call that person who's not calling you back.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Ugh, we're so done with new year, new you. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you.

Someone else will too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble. Joel, the holidays are a blast, but the financial hangover, that can be a huge bummer.
