Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Second Date Update. The holidays are a time for family, for giving, for playing your favorite Christmas songs on repeat with rapper Lil Jon in the background. Yeah! I miss that silent night version. Not so silent. Nothing says the holidays for me like an Atlanta rapper putting on another Yule log.

Okay! Why are you bringing up Lil Jon and how he spends his holidays? I'm saying the holidays, they're different for everybody. What? I said the holidays are different for everyone, little John. What?

They're different for everyone. Okay, you got it now. This whole time he just said hearing problems. We've got a listener on the phone for a very special holiday edition of a second date update. Her name is Para. So, Para, welcome to the show. Oh, my gosh. Oh, what?

Para, what's up? Hey, good morning. Happy holidays, Para. Hey, thanks. So tell us about why you emailed us for a second date update. Who did you meet? Yeah, so I met this guy his name is bryce um we work in the same building but we hadn't officially been introduced i guess like we

knew who each other were but we were at a celebration though for the holidays it was a work party oh okay okay perfect yeah perfect opportunity yeah um. So he approached me and it's kind of weird that he told me that he heard about me from Jana. She's another girl we work with, but I don't really know her very well either. Someone's playing matchmaker at your company. Office gossip. I like it. Brooke always tries to do that with our other co-workers at the office holiday party too. Yeah, you know, I think it helps that he was very attractive. Otherwise, I'm not sure I would be too happy that Jana was talking about me to strangers. She's like, don't hook me up with, oh, it's that guy? Yeah. Oh, okay. All right. John comes in, okay. So how did that, how did that go? You and Bryce hit it off?

Yeah, we did. So he invited me to go Christmas shopping with him. What? That's kind of cute. Yeah, I've never been asked out that way before. So I thought, you know, it would be kind of cool to get to know each other. And so it's not so, like, formal. But we were there for, like, five hours. Okay.

Oh, that sounds like a nightmare. He didn't say, i really gotta find something for my wife right it's kind of ruined the mood diamond earring shopping yeah who were you shopping for um i guess it was just shopping for like his family and stuff like that we did look at some really cute like sexy outfits but he had me put them up to me and you know he complimented me and was being really flirtatious. Did he buy you any of them? No, it was our first date.

So I think he was just trying to be flirty and cute and just kind of hit the touch barrier and stuff like that. I'm picturing lingerie. Is anyone else? Or is it like just a cute dress? Is a robe considered lingerie in your house? If it's a silk robe. Yeah. I mean, it's got to be tiny if it's Is a robe considered lingerie in your house? If it's a silk robe. Yeah. I mean, it's got to be tiny if it's going to be considered lingerie and sexy.

Otherwise, it's like, oh, you look hot in this very large terrycloth robe. Which one was it? You know, we looked at many different things. It wasn't just like one specific type of outfit or anything like that. We were there for many hours. And he had the stamina for that. I swear to God, I go to the store with my husband and 20 minutes in. Yeah.

And he is done. I'm in a house. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I mean, did you guys at least go get food somewhere? We did. We ate at the food court about halfway through. Just kind of talked about work and stuff like that.

This is like a 1996 date all over again. Yeah. Hitting up the old Orange Julius. Yeah, why not? I mean, it sounds like you had a good time. I did. You know, we spent some time kind of making fun of people and just like, it was nice to see somebody who wasn't so uptight like all the other guys I've dated.

You're supposed to say people watch. It's a nicer way to say it. Yeah, exactly. You can't make fun of exactly when you're sitting in the food court eating yourself it's a valid point alexis brings up a very good point but it sounds like you guys really bonded and had a good time together how did you leave things at the mall well at the end you know we just kind of hugged and then he said something that was kind of weird he said he was going to

circle back with janna and thank her for for introducing us officially i guess was it supposed to be a joke because it comes off so businesslike i'm gonna circle back with janna i thought it was kind of weird he hasn't really reached out to me since then so i tried to reach out to janna and ask her you know how she thought it went but she's avoiding me too oh they're avoiding you maybe the sexy robe was for janna oh that would be really weird she's like super old old ladies love robes yeah they do she's like i'm gonna knit in this thank you it's weird that he's avoiding you, but also Jana is avoiding you. Something is clearly up here.

Someone doesn't want to tell you something. And that the old lady's playing matchmaker in the office. Well, that makes sense because you do too. Oh, sorry. I'm sorry. Okay. And she loves robes. That's cute.

Brooke is literally wearing like a robe ass. This is a cardigan. All right. It's a cardigan. That's how I'm better. Thick one. I get a lot of compliments. I will say it is cute.

Sure you do. All right. So we're going to play a song. We're going to come back and we're going to call Bryce for you. Yes. And we're going to ask him if he wants another date with you. Little John, are you cool with having... Oh, yeah! Okay.

Little John's on board. I didn't realize he was listening. We're going to do your second date update right after this. Yeah! Yeah! Hold on your second date update right after this? Yeah! Yeah! Hold on. Second date update. We're in the middle of a holiday edition of a second date update.

Oh, this song makes it sound so sweet. It is sweet. Yeah. Because we're on the phone with one of our listeners, Para, which, honestly, it's an interesting name. I don't think I've ever heard that before. Is that short for something, Para? Yeah, it's an interesting name. I don't think I've ever heard that before. Is that short for something, Para? Yeah, it's actually short for parasol. Parasol.

Oh. Like the umbrella. Like the umbrella, yeah, exactly. So my parents met in Paris under an umbrella, and so that's where my name came from. Wow. I thought you were paralegal. Yeah. By your parents' lawyers. You're named after an international umbrella. That's sweet my name came from. Wow. I'm a certain pair of eagles. By a pair of lawyers.

You're named after an international umbrella. That's sweet. That's cheap. I mean, Brooke's named after a dirty river filled with runoff from meth labs in Idaho. So you guys can bond after the show is done. They're going to go a crick, but they went with Brooke instead. Well, it's very romantic. Yeah.

Anyway, the reason Para has reached out to us is because she went out with a guy named Bryce. The two of them went holiday shopping together after they were kind of set up by one of their coworkers. Has it been so awkward at work since he's been avoiding you? Luckily, we work in different departments, so we don't really cross paths. But every once in a while, I'd like to be able to walk by and say hi without it being weird. Yeah. Well, let's start by saying hi over the phone because we're going to call him right now and we'll see what he has to say maybe there's a

logical reason why he's not calling you back yeah all right all right she doesn't believe it oh come on it's the spirit of the holidays that's what i was going to say it's all about hope right christmas magic on our side yeah i'll give it the benefit of the doubt, I guess. All right. Here we go. Here we go. I'm going to dial Bryce's number. Let's do this. Hello? Hey, is this Bryce?

Yeah. Who's this? Hey, my name is Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Okay. Merry Christmas. Or? Or Happy Hanukkah.

Yeah. Or Kwanzaa. Just happy holidays covers everything. Yeah, true. Merry Christmas is fine. Yay. I always tell people that's a safe assumption. Most people celebrate Christmas, but yeah, Merry Christmas.

Okay. Well, I don't personally. I don't know if we want to go there, but okay. No, I'm glad. I'm glad that you're a big fan of the holidays. I love't personally. No, I'm glad. I'm glad that you're a big fan of the holidays. I love the holidays. Yeah. So do we.

We heard that you went holiday shopping recently, actually, with one of our listeners. Is this why you call me? Just to talk about holiday shopping? Have you been dipping into the eggnog this week? Nothing wrong with that. No, it's just kind of strange. i don't really you know i don't know why i got a call from a radio station well this is a segment that we do called the second date update and we're trying to see if you would like to hang out with para again after you guys went

shopping together wait para yeah from your um yeah i know. I don't really see any reason to hang out with her again. I mean, I got all my Christmas shopping done. I mean, that was cool. She was really helpful. What? Wait. What are you talking about? She said you guys met at the company holiday party.

You're co-workers, right? Yeah, we did. Yeah, we did. We met in our company. The co-worker, Jana, put us together you know i was complaining to her that i really couldn't figure out what i wanted to get for my girlfriend for christmas and so wait what what word did you just use what do you mean wait i was i went i needed to go shopping for my girlfriend and janna you have a girlfriend yeah yeah absolutely okay i don't

think para did you tell para that like why are you being so nonch absolutely. Okay, I don't think Para, did you tell Para that? Like, why are you being so nonchalant about it? I don't understand the, I really don't get it. Jana told me that they did a secret Santa thing for the last couple years and Para gave the best stuff and, you know, had good tips

on what to buy. So you used her for five hours on no pay as a personal shopper? Oh, no, don't get me wrong. You know, I actually gave some money to Jana that I asked her to give to Paris. Oh, no.

I didn't know that either. She didn't ask her anything. You know, I just said I appreciate it. So I would hope she would pass it on. That's all. Okay. Did Jana not give it to her? I'm so confused.

I think a lot of people are confused. Probably most of all is Para. Who's been listening on the other line this entire time and wants to talk to you. I don't even know what to say. I am a pawn. We'll say thank you. You were employed so bryce pear has been there the whole time yeah so first off you have a girlfriend

why do you think we were shopping for bathrobes i even said to you do you think helen would like these you know why are you laughing at her first off Helen is an old lady name so I definitely thought we were shopping for like your grandma or your aunt or something valid fair point a name is a name okay I mean yes she is a little bit older

but that doesn't matter I mean my girlfriend is she's wonderful she's a wonderful woman okay so you used me To help you shop for your girlfriend I mean, you just led me on And used me Well, hold on, because he said that

He gave money to Jana to forward to you Well, that money never got to me And it was obviously not clear That you were using me as a personal shopper Oh my god That's why Jana is avoiding you Because she stole your money Yes, you're using me as a personal shopper. Oh, my God. That's why Jana is avoiding you because she stole your money. Yes, you're right. It has nothing to do.

Oh, my God. I'm sorry. It just dawned on me. That's sketchy because, Bryce, why would you pay Jana to pay me? If that's really what this was, why didn't you give me the money and explain that that's what you wanted me to do? You work on a different floor than me. I never really saw you that much until the party.

And then Jana recommended that I take you shopping. And look, nobody asked me for money anyway. I thought it was just a nice thing to do. So I gave Jana 50 bucks to pass on to you. Why aren't you apologizing for the miscommunication, though? Like, I would feel terrible. Why is he apologizing for it? Because he was never clear with what his intention was.

I mean, yes, I think that there was a lot of mistakes throughout this whole thing. But, I mean, she's embarrassed. Perra's embarrassed. She thought that there was something else. And that sucks. Yeah. I will say that, Perra, this is a weird situation. I think we all got a little

confused i knew you were single all right you kind of made that clear when we were shopping and now i guess looking back i understand why uh you kept talking about being single i didn't want to rub it in you even have a girlfriend if you can't go shopping for her on your own does she know that you paid somebody to go find her gifts for her? So I hired a personal shopper. I mean, in my mind, that's what I was doing. I hired a personal shopper. I don't think she would be upset by that.

Yeah, I'd be impressed. Honestly, I think that helps the case. You didn't hire a personal shopper. But he thought he did. At least that wasn't his intention. Jana is the scandalous one in his intention. Jana's the one. Jana's the scandalous one in all this. That is not true.

I think Bryce totally took advantage of the situation to try to get some work for free. He paid her 50 bucks. That was just a booking fee to pay Jana to find someone to shop for you. So I think you still owe me like 100 bucks for my time. Yeah, there you go. That's true. That was a booking fee. I agree with that. I mean, if you're going to time. Yeah, there you go. That's true. That was a booking fee. I agree with that.

I mean, if you're going to be a pimp, you better get your rates right. Oh, my God. You know, I think I only spent like $40 on the bathrobe. I mean, this is really good. Well, look, she's a pricey shopper. That was the other part that was a little bit confusing. She felt like you were being flirty with her. I was being flattering.

The entire time she's dropping hints about being single. Because she was on a date. I don't know. I don't need a pity. The compliments, though, do get misconstrued during the holidays. Like when I sat on Santa's lap and he's like, you look like a good little boy. I mean, I didn't take that one the wrong way.

You did say thanks, Daddy. Yeah, well, you know, that one was on me. I'm curious, though, Bryce, how long have you been in a relationship with this girlfriend, Helen? We just started dating a few weeks ago, so I don't really know her well enough. That's why I kind of wanted help. Why are you already shopping for her? So it's a newer relationship. And you're already buying her roads?

Oh, yeah. Oh, nice. I didn't want to be alone during the holidays. You sound like a catch when you say things like that. Maybe you guys don't have to be alone for the holidays if you meet up one more time and we'll pay for that meet up.

Oh no. If you're talking about us, no chance. There you go, Perra. I don't know. I don't know, Perra. I mean, I could use a new suit for New Year's Eve. Oh, no.

Get out of here. Get out of here. Get out of here. I'll help you shop. As long as you're very clear that's what it is I'm going to be doing. Hey, see? We're helping. I was thinking about getting some sexy lingerie for Helen.

I don't know about you. Okay, now we're crossing. No. I'm just teasing. I like you. Dirty old man humor. I love it. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
