We love that you found the podcast as Brooke and Jeffrey the Home of the second date update.

And hey, leave it in the comments. Where did you find us? Like maybe it was a viral TikTok or YouTube. I was invited onto the show. I got an audition like 14 years ago. How'd this guy get in here? We still don't know. Well, she just looked over at me.

I'm like, you know me. No, let us know what brought you here. We'd love to hear it. And we got a great second date update right now to start your Saturday. Here we go. Second date update. Whenever you ask people what's your idea of the perfect first date, by far the most cliché answer is a long romantic walk along the beach at sunset That's what everybody says, but you're right who actually does that yeah, really especially on a first date nobody Wow the closest thing we get normally is a long

Stumbly walk home from a dive bar at 1 a.m And the closest body of water is the puddle of urine outside your apartment Yeah, but one of our listeners, believe it or not, actually did the cliche thing and did a date at the beach. Wait, you really did a long walk on the beach. Andrew, you in love yet or what? Was it as perfect as we all imagined it would be? Well, I enjoyed it, but it was also kind of weird

because it was a first date, I think maybe, maybe a long walk on the beach. You could have just said no, it wasn't as embarrassing. I mean, it's interesting, like a beach date can get pretty intimate, right? Like you're rubbing suntan lotion on each other, you're wearing bathing suits. There's kids everywhere.

No, no one else. I think we're back to the ideal version, the real version's gonna look a lot different. But Andrew tell us how it went. Who did you go there with? Well I went there with this girl Tabitha. We met through a friend of a friend on Facebook. Okay. And we sort of started talking and you know she seemed very nice and attractive. She had tattoos and she was outdoorsy, which is what kind of, you know, I saw pictures of her hiking and other things. I figured she would like the beach. OK, so the beach was your idea. Was it like a day at the beach type of thing? It was an evening walk.

Oh, OK. It really was a walk. It was the most cliche you could possibly get. How long was the walk? We say long walk. I mean, are we talking like a two, three hour? Are you tired, Jose? I'm in my head. If it's over 100 feet, there is no blisters for him. Let's just say, yeah, OK.

So did you like pack a picnic? Well, it was it was really just it was a walk and we were we did end up building a fire. So there was stuff to do that. Oh, committed a crime. That's cool. I'm hoping it was in the legal area. Oh, like one of those places that allows you to build a fire. What was it like?

Tell us, Andrew, we're just guessing. Yeah. Well, you know, we went up and the thing was, on the whole walk she was very quiet. So I ended up doing all the talking and I would make jokes and she wouldn't even laugh. I cannot relate Is she just like a more reserved person do you think I mean since she's a friend of a friend Well, that's the thing like, you know, we built fire and we're sitting there

I didn't see any of the signals and then out of blue. She kisses me Must have been doing something right there. She's a wild card man. When it happened I was like okay and that was real fun and enjoyable that moment but then all of a sudden all these bats started flying above our heads and she starts freaking out because she doesn't know anything about bats and I'm kind of a bat nerd and so she starts waving her hands and flailing her hands trying to get the bats away. I was like, don't worry, these are Eastern red bats because I could tell by the sounds that they're making.

Wow, you're a bat expert. You really know, you didn't just make that up? I'm a bat man and I- Oh wow. See, she didn't laugh at that one. I'm assuming she was just more turned on by that. I mean, you want the bats or even the mosquitoes that are all around you, like, keep them there. Yeah, exactly.

Bats are way better than mosquitoes. And I wanted her to stop waving her hands about because they provoke, they could attack. But if they're not provoked, they'll just keep on being normal bats. So that is why she listened to you or did she continue? She did calm down. I played her some sounds of bats that I had pre-recorded on my phone. You have one? This is where I think we're finding out why she's not calling you back.

Well, as you were walking back to the car, I thought that that might be the case, so I stopped talking about bats. But again, she wasn't contributing anything, so I ended up slipping into this conversation about wolves and I'm not sure if that was the right choice I mean it's these things that I'm interested in and I knew she was outdoorsy I mean they say don't hide your passions on a first date I also think they don't say like say all of your passions all at once to break the silence on a first date but I don't know could be wrong I don't know how did did this end? How did the night end?

I mean, the night ended fine, I guess. I mean, we survived the night. Did you have another kiss? Thankfully. Yeah, there was a there was a small kiss, but it was an appropriate goodbye kiss. OK. Nothing like a big makeout session. I'm wondering, like, it sounds like you were uncomfortable with her silence. Did you ever ask her any questions other than yes or no questions, you know? Yeah, absolutely. I wasn't trying to do all the talking it just it was it was certainly weird because I did want to get to know her

And I don't feel like I got to know her. Okay, it's other than she wanted to kiss me for a moment, which was cool, but weird so that was the one positive sign Because that's what I was trying to figure out like why do you want this date if it if there were so many things that Went wrong and things that you know you guys were barely even talking All right, maybe maybe it's morbid curiosity. Yeah, or maybe it's just that she's hot and it was a really good kiss. Yeah Maybe you know, maybe she's more comfortable with kissing than talking But maybe she would get more comfortable with talking as we go. I don't know Maybe we should just call her and see what she has to say about Then maybe this we need to kiss her

We need to kiss her! I need to kiss her on the phone, Jeff! No, let's not do that. We'll just call her and see what happens. But first we gotta play a song, we'll come back at your second date update right after this, alright? Alright, but you better not kiss my woman. Yeah, we'll make sure that doesn't happen. I don't know, I don't think we can promise that.

No promises, dude. Here we go. Maybe I'm jumping too far ahead here. Yeah, you are. But Andrew, down the road, when you and Tabitha get married, instead of releasing doves at the wedding, you should release a cage of bats. And maybe before that, the biggest challenge is going to be getting her to actually say I do because she hardly even speaks. If you're just joining joining us probably none of this is making any sense to you But I say she wasn't talking a lot because she was super quiet during their date

And I bring up bats cuz Andrew's a bat aficionado and knows all about bats and their histories and their diets and There were bats there flying above them while they made out on the beach together and apparently the eastern red bat only attacks when provoked That's what we learned from Andrew We've heard stranger things happen on this show, but I'm just praying that Andrew didn't set up the bat attack to look He's probably a bat whisperer. He does know all their noises. Can you confirm that you didn't set up the attack, Andrew?

I can confirm that I had nothing to do with releasing bats around my date. Like if I could orchestrate something like that, I don't think I'd be single. Okay, it was not planned to run into bats on the beach that night. Andrew, I'm just wondering, what are you looking for out of this?

What do you want? I mean, honestly, I just want to know what I did or what happened. I mean, another date would be nice, but I want to know so I can adjust for future follies. Yeah, I mean, it makes sense. A lot of mixed signals from her. Yep. All right, well, let's call and try and figure that out for you We're gonna dial the number right now. Here we go

Hello, hey, is this Tabitha? Um, yeah, who is this? Oh, you don't know My name is Jeff and I'm from a morning radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Hi. Hi. We're all here. Hey. Oh, okay, okay, okay, hi. Good morning.

I've heard you guys before, but why are you calling me? Oh, okay. Cool, thank you. Well, we're calling you at the request of one of our listeners, Andrew, who you went out with the other night. Okay. Um, I'm guessing Andrew put you up to this. Yeah, but I think it's a good thing. Like he seemed to really like you.

Yeah, I think he did like me. You know, I just, I really wasn't ready for that date, you know, it was really unexpected how I would feel about Andrew Because we heard a little bit about the date and from the sounds of it you kissed him oh He told you that Really romantic setting I could see why I mean you're having a fire on the beach. Like sounds beautiful. That's going overhead. Yeah. Um, you know, I, I have an appointment in a little bit, so I don't have a whole lot of time, you know, can,

can you guys tell me what's going on? Okay. Yeah. So, I mean, just real quick, we're doing something called second date update and we're trying to help Andrew figure out why after your romantic beach date, there hasn't been a date number two, because he did mention that you were a little bit quiet during the walk along the beach. Yeah. Um, is there a reason for that? I mean, he didn't do anything wrong. You know, I just,

I got out of a long-term relationship a few years ago. Wait, a few years ago. Well, the, the guy, guy, we were in love, but he moved out of the country. He had an opportunity to go do something and it broke my heart. Yeah, that can be really hard. Are you not over it still, even after years? Well, I thought I was over it until I met Andrew, which we started talking on Facebook through text.

I had never heard his voice before. Okay. Are you saying that Andrew was your very first date since that breakup years ago? No, no, no. I've dated a few people here or there, but the thing that, that really just shocked me about Andrew was walking side by side with him on the beach, hearing his voice, he sounds exactly, I mean, identical to my ex. Weird.

Oh my God, that makes sense. So you're just like living in this past relationship while you're hanging out with Andrew. That's got to be so hard. Or awesome. I wish I could relive my. I mean, that is super weird. It was weird. Like at one point he tried to hold my hand and I was like looking out at the water and all I could think about was my ex and like all the good times they had together. Up until the bad attack. That was, it kind of like brought me back to reality for a moment, but I was starting to tear up because I, the one that got away, I feel like that's who I was walking on the beach with.

Totally. And it's not like if you were like doing maybe an activity, you wouldn't have as much reflection opportunity. Oh God. It's like a moment. Totally. You know, even if we were at a restaurant and sitting across the table from each other, I could see him. I would obviously know that that's not my ex, but walking side by side on the beach with him, it just brought back all these memories. Like, oh, he kept talking. Yeah. Because she was trying to fill that space.

Oh, my God. Was he telling me about all these weird animals he was obsessed with. I'm glad he has passions and everything, but I just don't know how to get over the fact that he sounds just like my ex. Oh, girl, I feel for you. I do, and it's nothing he can do anything about unless he can use different voices.

Maybe he could talk and like lower or higher for you. As you get higher, you hang out. Maybe he can do impressions like a celebrity. Oh my God. Let's find out if he can because I need to tell you Andrew's been on the other line listening this entire time and wants to talk to you. Sorry. Oh no.

I'm Andrew. I'm so sorry. I ruined our date. Oh, I know. I didn't. I had no idea what was going on. Not that I'm happy that that's what it was, but I'm happy that that's what it was Is it okay to listen to him? I mean, this is kind of a bad

For you since it's just voice right now Yeah, I mean it sounds like I'm talking to him on the phone like it's it's so weird Are we sure that it's not your ex? It's so weird. Are we sure that it's not your ex? Is there anything that he needed to apologize for that you'd like to hear Maybe enters a better version of your ex, you know? Maybe? No, don't compare them. It's just a choice. How could you not? I mean, this is such an awkward situation.

Like, Brooke, what would you do? My husband's best friend sounds just like him. It's so weird. When I first met them, I was like, it creeped me out. But now that I know them both more, that isn't actually the case. And you can guess them both. Although, Brooke would say yes to pretty much anybody.

So Alexis, what about with you? Let's get someone that might say no. Depends how you ended with your ex. Yeah, and Alexis has always hung up on her ex. Yeah, so I probably like the voice. She's like, close my eyes, I don't want to look at you. I mean, Tabitha, where is your head at right now? You know, I just don't know how I can beat Andrew

and be thinking about my ex. Like, what if I accidentally called him the wrong name one day? Like, how would that make him feel? Like, I don't want to put him in a situation where he's just the other guy. Yeah, that must be hard to hear, Andrew. No, it's hard, but I understand where you're coming from, Tabitha. I feel for your situation. And I'm, you know, even right now, I'm kind of I feel for your situation and I'm you know even right now I'm kind

of very self-conscious of what I'm I don't you know like I would I don't know that I could handle that. Oh he's a good guy too. Yeah I mean this is the right time to ask Tabitha would you want to go out with Andrew one more time we'd pay for it. Is this a good time Jeff? This is the best time. I wish you both could get past this because it seems like you could be a really good couple Yeah, we could sip on some helium balloons What if you just did a date where you've made sure his face was always in your view You know, I might be down to go to like one of those silent raves where we just listen to our headphones Something where Andrew doesn't talk yeah well we could try it but I don't think it's something that would work long term based on you know

what Tabitha is saying so I you know I don't want to I was really just curious about why and I guess Selfishly that it wasn't something that I did. It was just who I am Did you kiss me because you wanted to kiss me or was it like you were kissing your ex? Oh, that's a great question. Do you wanna know the answer? I wanna know. Honestly, I just wanted to know

if it was the same or if different. Oh! And what's the verdict? Yeah! It was definitely a lot wetter than I remember. Oh! So better! That's a good review.

Better. Is wetter better? I don't know if it really is. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. From the producers who brought you Princess of South Beach comes a new podcast, The Setup.
