Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I always start these with saying like, all right or ooh or something. So Ashton, take it away. Give me a new intro. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Hach cha-cha. Ooh, I like that. Yeah. And we got some back-to-back classics for you today. Oh, yeah. Yeah, back-to-back classics. But in the meantime this weekend, go check out our YouTube at Brick and Jeffrey. Digital Jake is putting up some compilation videos.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Oh, they've been so great. Yes, a lot of phone-tap ones. And if you have any suggestions of what you want to see put together, 30 minutes. Let us know. Yeah. Maybe a compilation of you opening the podcast with your positivity. Oh, you're right. Oh. Or a hot chot-cha-cha. That's right.
Starting point is 00:03:37 That's right. Who's a hundred-in-hatcha-cha? Now we're talking. I'll suggest that to Digital Jake. And in the meantime, here's your classics. All right. Don't act like I don't know what you all say about me as soon as I walk away. What? Uh-oh. Who left the mics on?
Starting point is 00:03:53 We don't say anything. I know you do. You're like, oh, I feel so sorry for Jeff, he's so terrible at Small Talk. Oh, poor Jeffrey, he's so freaking handsome and talented, but he can't hold a normal conversation. I say that one a lot, Jeff. Yeah, well, jokes on all you fools. Oh, really? Because I'm about to become the life of every party going forward.
Starting point is 00:04:15 And it's all thanks to our listener who came up with one of the cleanest and most fun icebreaker questions we've ever heard. Oh, an icebreaker. Okay, Jeff. So clutched even got him a date. with a beautiful woman. Oh. I'm not interested in any of that stuff, but all of the fun
Starting point is 00:04:34 at the parties, that's going to be me. You're going to hear what it was. I'm sure. I got to get invited to him, Jeff. It's coming up in your second date update right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. We obviously have heard about people
Starting point is 00:04:48 meeting on dating apps. Yeah. Or during activities like a run club or hopscotch karaoke classes. You do it all at the same time? Yeah. It's a really. Really fun, really challenging.
Starting point is 00:05:00 But kind of a more old school thing that's been around and it's making its way back again is singles events. Oh, yes. You know? I've been really into love on the spectrum, the show, and they do all sorts of speed dating on that show. Cute. And you are doing the singles events too. No. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Okay. But apparently they are still a thing because one of our listeners went to one recently and he needs our help today. His name is Trey. So Trey, thanks for emailing in. Welcome to the show. Hey guys, thank you so much for having me. Oh, well, thank you for thanking us for having you. Was this the first, like, singles, mingle or whatever they called it that you've ever done?
Starting point is 00:05:39 No, so I've actually been to a couple of them. I am really anti, like, the dating apps, and I'm much more on making, like, a human connection. Yeah, and it's way harder to lie about yourself when you're meeting people in person. You can still pull it off, trust me, but it's harder. What do you mean I'm about six feet? I'm sitting right in front of you. Okay, so how did it go? So the last one I went to, it was a little weirder because there's a ton of guys there.
Starting point is 00:06:06 And usually it's a good, like, 50-flippy mix, but it was definitely more of, I guess you would traditionally call it more of a sausage fest as it were. More guys reply to the emails that when they set them up than anything. Sounds like whoever was producing it screwed up. Yeah. Because that's like the whole point of those. Or they held it at a sports bar.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Yeah. You have to be like a cutesy bar. Yeah. What's that a sports bar? I'd be a little more excited than it's like a regular... Totally. I never thought about the venue playing a role in that. I mean, now you're working at a disadvantage if there's more guys than girls.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Yeah, I mean, it can be a little competitive, you know, which is not really like what you want the vibe to feel like. I don't want to be looking at the time and be like, oh, I wonder if this guy's going to have a better answer than me. Yeah. Okay. Did you come in with like a certain question you like to ask that's intriguing and good combo starter? Okay. I'll let you guys tell me how good of a question is. So you're familiar that we only have young Sheldon because Big Bang theory exists.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Yeah. If you could have any young character show, who would you want to see a young version of? Oh, yeah. That's a great question. Like we're getting the new Harry Potter series about young, young Harry Potter. What about the Cosby show? Is that a good answer? Oh, young Bill.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Young. No. He's actually eating pudding because his mom gave it to him. To see what went wrong. Yeah. I would not go with that one, Jeff. Okay. My funny answer to that is young George Costanza, because then you still get a little Jerry.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Oh, that is funny. But he's somehow still bald. That sounds like a really good icebreaker. How did the mingling actually go? So it didn't go great. Like I said, there was a lot of people. It was just hard to find time to get any FaceTime with everybody because everyone's just moving so quickly. And at some point, the host of the event came over and mentioned to me like, hey, I really appreciate you coming out.
Starting point is 00:07:57 But then had this, like, very weird, backhanded comment of, I know you're not as attractive as some of the other guys here. What? The organizer of the event said that to you? Was it a guy or a girl? It was a girl. And she was like, I know what a great personality you have. Because you've seen me at other events. You know, there's no defending that.
Starting point is 00:08:20 But if she sees, like, a thousand daters a week and she's just being, she may just in her head have spoken out loud. Yeah. Or if she is also single, maybe she was trying to neg you a little. little bit. I don't think the... Women do that, right? I think being cold ugly usually makes me feel good. I know. How did you get back in there after that?
Starting point is 00:08:38 My confidence would have been deflated. Yeah, I didn't feel great. Not to rush you through this story, but we are going to be calling somebody. You did meet a woman eventually, right? Yeah. So that takes me to the next part. So later in the event, a couple of other, like, girls walked in. It was late.
Starting point is 00:08:58 It was nice because some of the people are already kind of matched, so I had a little bit better of an in. Okay. And that's when I started connecting with Steph. Steph? Steph, okay. She was great.
Starting point is 00:09:10 We chatted for like 15 minutes, one-on-one. I asked her out. Of course, I knocked out which young show would you want to see. Hers was young. It's always sunny, which I think is a perfect game. Oh, my gosh, a baby Charlie Day. Which means she's funny. Yeah, and it's dark humor.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Yeah, she likes it. humor. That's great. Yeah, I mean, you guys are correct. So then we set up a date a week later. We met just like really cool wine bar that's near my. Oh, you did me. Okay. Yeah, I mean, I had a few drinks, but right at like the hour mark, she was like, well, I have to go and just kind of cut it off, which caught me up guard because I kind of was locked in for the evening. I was like, great. We hit the wine bar down the road, this really incredible taco joint that I love going to. I thought it would be like a fun, like, whole night. Yeah, wine and tacos, perfect.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Dude, honestly, just because it was right on the hour market, it sounds like maybe she, like, read something somewhere that's like, oh, don't let your date go more than an hour. You know what I mean? I don't know. I mean, my head first went to if she's doing these speed dating events with him, maybe there's multiple other guys that she matched with and had a whole. That's not a bad idea either, Jeff. It's a common thing to have, like, kind of a rotation, a roster now. And then, like, a big day, you just knock them all out. Exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:23 How long ago did that date happen? That was about a week ago. All right. And you haven't heard from her at all. No, she hasn't gotten back. And I'm also not someone that's going to like triple text someone. Like I'm going to, you know, I give the space to respond. You are self-aware?
Starting point is 00:10:41 That is crazy on this show, dude. Yeah, that never happens. So let's come back. We're going to call Steph for you. Try and get you a second date update. In the meantime, if you like younger versions, you can go back and listen to old stuff from our podcast. Here are a little bit younger versions of us. Younger Jeffrey.
Starting point is 00:10:57 God, we're never older on the podcast, are we? No, we're not. But we'll do it with your second date update right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, second date update. If you're just joining us, we've been talking to Trey about his date with a woman named Steph. They met at a singles mixer where he learns Steph likes the show, it's always sunny in Philadelphia. Which is why I yelled, yeah, sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:19 So naturally for their date, he took her out not to an Irish bar. but to a wine bar. I thought you were going to say. I should have been Irish. No, it's smart. Don't give women everything they want right up front. I thought you didn't work for it. Just do a dumpster behind the...
Starting point is 00:11:35 That would have worked just as well. But at the one hour mark, Steph kind of called it all of a sudden, almost like she was timing the date. Yeah. So kind of a strange end to it. And Trey, here's the deal. If we are able to get her to answer,
Starting point is 00:11:51 you know we're going to talk to her about your actual date and probably about the night you two met. So I need to ask you, is it totally off limits for us if it comes up to tell her about the host of the singles mixer calling you on attractive? What in the world would we mention that? I'm just saying if it comes up. The date wasn't even part of that conversation. Why would it come up then? Okay, yeah, I'm sure it won't.
Starting point is 00:12:15 This is great. Okay. Brooke is worried. I don't trust that. I don't either, Alexis. Listen, I'm fine with bringing up because I'd be curious to hear what she would say. in response to that comment. If you're ugly or not, you don't want to hear, dude.
Starting point is 00:12:28 You know we're all together. We're a team on this. Let's all put our hands in on three. One, two, three, ugly. Okay. You put your hands in and then you're out. Jeff, you didn't even do it right. Dude, I will say right now that there are as many people out there that may not be
Starting point is 00:12:42 beautiful first meeting, but then they get more attractive the more you know them. God, you hear her voice. She doesn't believe that. I do believe that. Yeah, you're rock bottom. Okay, here we go. It's going to go up, bro. It's not going to come up.
Starting point is 00:12:53 I won't say it. Here we go. There's a reason why you guys are my favorite show. Oh, God. I hope it's not this. This is for entertaining, I guess. We'll see. Okay, I'm going to dial her number. Here we go. Let's see if stuff answers. Hey, is this Steph?
Starting point is 00:13:18 Yeah. Hey. Bro, smooth. Wow. Sorry, I'm all uncomfortable. Yeah, the Fons is on the show with us today. That is a reference that no one under the age of 50. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:13:33 It's fine. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Joe. Jeffrey in the morning. Staff, are you still there? Yeah, okay. Hi, Seth. Hey, as you can tell, we're a really fun, jokey type of show, but we do get serious a little bit with this segment that we do.
Starting point is 00:13:47 It's called the second date update. Okay. Okay, it has not clicking. Yeah. Explain it, maybe. Maybe you explain it. Oh, okay. Well, Steph, you met a great guy who you went out with, and now he wants another date and you
Starting point is 00:13:59 aren't calling him back. Who's this guy you're talking about? I'm really bad with names that I'm. Oh, no. Back to Jeff. Oh, bro. All right. I forgot to write his name down. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Pass the baton to me. The guy's name is Trey. That's what I was going to say, Trey. Okay, back to Brooke. Do you remember Trey? Yeah, I do. Yeah, I feel kind of bad about that one. Oh.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Oh, you do? Oh. Well, we heard about the date that you two went on to the wine bar. And from Trey's description of it, it was a really nice time. So he's a little bit just confused now that, there hasn't been a second meetup, no follow-up afterwards. Well, maybe that's why she feels bad. Is that why you feel bad, Steph?
Starting point is 00:14:42 Honestly, I don't even know if I should be, like, telling you about this because it's kind of embarrassing. I feel weird about it. Oh. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing for you, or is it embarrassing for Trey? I guess potentially for everyone. I don't know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Here's the deal. Whenever we have listeners on this segment, they acknowledge that there may be some awkwardness, some difficult truths that they have to hear. And Trey just wants to know the honest reason there hasn't been a second meetup, no matter what. Okay, well, I mean, I guess I can tell you. It would really help him out. Yeah. Basically, I'm friends with some of the people that organized these singles events.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Are you kidding? Oh, no. And just one particular night, you know, they didn't quite have enough people there. Specifically, they didn't really have a lot of women. Oh. He had actually mentioned that about the speed dating night that you guys met that there was a lot of guys. Then there was like another wave. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:44 That would be because sometimes they give people like 30 bucks to just show up and like kind of mingle with everybody. What? What? You go. You went on a second date after that. That's true. You guys did go to the late. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Were you paid to go out with him on the second date? No. No, not at all. It was just the initial. kind of speed dating thing with everybody. But I just kept thinking the whole time, like, this continues to go well. We're going to have to have a conversation about, you know, I answered the picture initially. And I just feel horrible about that because I don't want him to take it the wrong way.
Starting point is 00:16:22 I'm confused, though. Were you interested in him or were you not? Because it sounds like you went out to the wine bar just for an ego boost is what I'm picking up. That was part of it. But, I mean, he's really cute. He's really nice. Okay. Anyone would be lucky.
Starting point is 00:16:35 to go on a date with him. Are you sure he's really cute? Like, how cute is he? Jeffrey! This is a good chance me to tell us how cute he is. Okay, he is cute. I'll back off. He's adorable.
Starting point is 00:16:47 So where is your head at now, Steph? Because according to him, you're not reaching out to him anymore. That sends the signal that you're not interested. Well, I don't know. Sometimes I'm just really non-confrontational. And I really, really didn't want to have that conversation where I'm like, oh, hey, I was paid to meet you. And so that you're never going to get into a relationship with this great guy because you don't want to have a talk about it.
Starting point is 00:17:10 It's kind of bad news. We're just paid to go to the event. But initially, that's how they met. Like, she was paid money to go there and meet him. And I can see how as. Not him specifically. No, just to help him. No, just to be there.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Sure, anybody. But anyone finding out the person they really like was paid to meet them. That's not going to feel good. It is cute. I hear you that you're worried about having that conversation with him down the line somewhere. It could be awkward. The good news is we already got to. it out of the way. Like a band-aid.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Like a band-aid. Wept it right off. Because he's actually on the other line listening to this right now. No, no, no, no. Yeah. Please do not say that to me. I can't not say that to you because the truth is he is. Oh, my God. Should be at least.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Hey, how's it going, stuff? Trey, I'm really sorry. You had to find out like this. This is pretty strange. I totally understand the awkwardness of not wanting to, like, mention how you ended up at said event. obviously I was there as a participant, but I think whatever the love story ends up being, it doesn't matter the origins. It's more about how it ends up.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Okay. So, Trey, you're not offended at all or put off by the fact that she was paid that night to be there? Honestly not. That's kind of up to the organizer. I mean, she got bodies there. However, they get there as long as we're continuing to, like, have a conversation. And it's not all being paid to continue that conversation. If anything, you should feel guilty, Steph, that you took the money since you met somebody at the event. You know what I mean? You should pay him $30 to make it even, and now he knows you really like him for him. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:50 I was just going to have her give the money back to the organizer. I was thinking that. You owe your friends. You can always send it to us, too. I mean, we could always get $30. But, Steph, what do you think about what he just said there? I don't know. I just enjoyed your company.
Starting point is 00:19:03 I enjoyed talking with you. That's nice. I just got like nervous. And like I said, I was too in my head about the conversation we were going to have to have. But it's all out there now. Yeah. And I feel some positive momentum happening. We've got some of that awkward conversation out of the way.
Starting point is 00:19:20 And you don't even realize it, Steph, you're really good at conversation. You gave the best answer to his TV show question out of the entire that. Yes. We loved it. And that's why this is going to be kind of tricky because I want to always. offer to send you on another date and tell you we'd pay for it. But then it feels weird. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Then it's like I'm paying her to show up to the date. I see where we're at. So she. Ben is a charity. Yeah. I'm not going to offer to pay for you guys to meet up, but we will strongly encourage you to get back together. How does that sound?
Starting point is 00:19:51 Honestly, I don't want this to be more confused or muddled by money being involved. I'd love for it to kind of feel more organic and genuine. Oh. Wow. As far as it's money, it's more like Appleby's gift card. Yeah. Yeah. Still, though.
Starting point is 00:20:05 So, Steph, will you go out with me again? Can we try running it back and doing it again? Aw. Wow. Yeah, I mean, I think I'm going to say yes. It's not like a pity yes or anything. Like, I really would like to see it. You know, that's kind of a backwards compliment, but we'll take it.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Well, I mean, this is such an odd way of going about it. It's not like I feel pressure from you or anything like that. Yeah. Oh. Plus, it's not like she called him unattractive, right? Right, exactly. This is... No.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Good. Good. Really good. Nobody ever would call him that. Thank you, Jeffrey. Congratulations, Trey. And congratulations, Steph. You're both going to meet up one more time.
Starting point is 00:20:47 And we're not going to pay for it. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Today's episode is brought to you by Vinted. And if you guys are anything like me, my style changes with every season. I love keeping up with trends.

We'll call that person who's not calling you back and go check out all of our second dates. Wherever you get your podcast at Brooke and Jeffrey. If you think about it, your dating life is very similar to famous movie plots. The question is which movie describes your life? Okay. Like Alexis's dating life is kind of like the hangover.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Kind of messy. She doesn't know how she got there. But you know there's going to be an equally terrible sequel the very next weekend. Please tell me there's not a random baby at some point. No, just like the lion or tiger. Oh, right. No. Thank God.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Meanwhile, Jose's is like top gun. Really? That is not what I would say. He's hoping for it to be a little fast and dangerous, but at the end, someone's always ejecting prematurely. Oh, my God. And then everyone's sad. Wow. Yeah, that is very true.
Starting point is 00:24:00 That just made me. One of our listeners described her first date like a very famous film, and the comparison immediately had us all very, very concerned. Like more concerned than I just was, Jeffrey? Not the same way. You're going to hear it in a second date update. Eject! Jeff, I'm ejecting!
Starting point is 00:24:18 It's too late. We're going to do it next. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. We get a lot of listeners who email the show describing their dates. to us. Yeah. But Sophia is the first to ever say
Starting point is 00:24:32 her first date was just like the love story in the movie Up. What? That's a terrible. That's a movie so bad. I mean, it's an interesting way to describe it because that relationship I'm pretty sure has a pretty sad ending.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I mean, she's like, I'm 96 and my husband died. It's beautiful, but she's the one that should be dead if that's the story. Oh, your wife is the right. Yeah. Or who knows, maybe they're really sweet.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Maybe they're a date involved a chubby Boy Scout at some point. Or just a lot of balloons. Oh, on a big nose doggy. The Boy Scouts is usually how my dates end up. We're like the men's scouts. You know what? I don't want to get into it.
Starting point is 00:25:09 But let's welcome to the show, Sophia. Sophia, can't wait to hear how you felt like your date was like that Pitzar film. There was no Boy Scout. Unfortunately, there were no balloons. No balloons either. Is the guy just super old? And swear glasses. Yeah, what do you mean?
Starting point is 00:25:28 it's like up? Well, you know how they're just like this perfect match right from the beginning? It felt like that and it felt like we just fit. And I could just like see the whole montage, not all the sad stuff. Man, that is a lot of pressure on a first date to feel that way. I mean, it's beautiful. That's beautiful. Totally.
Starting point is 00:25:49 So who died on the date? Nobody died. But a house got repossessed. It's just her hope that died. Because he's not calling back. Maybe it'll make sense the more that we hear the story. Let's start with the guy's name. So his name is Andy.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Okay. Where'd you meet him? We actually met on a dating app and we talked for a while. I thought he was so cute. He had that like perfect square jaw line and even did his hair similarly to Carl from the movies. Oh, my God. Aw, cute. The old man in up does have a really square head.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Yeah. Yeah. That's interesting. Did you tell him that? I did. I did mention it a little bit. You did. Oh, that could be.
Starting point is 00:26:34 But, I mean, I told him that I thought it was so, so cute. Well, we're going to mark that as red balloon number one. Yeah. That's a good way to college, Jeff. I like that. What did you guys do for your date? My sister actually gave me this vintage wicker basket. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:26:50 I was telling Andy that I've always wanted to use it. I've never had a good enough excuse. I love a good picnic that. Like, a piccanic basket. A pick a niggick a basket. Was your sister, perhaps, a chubby boy scout? No?
Starting point is 00:27:04 She just gets super high and watch up and thinks that she She didn't lick her home. Yeah, it says, where did he go? I was floating in the sky. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh, it's so funny. People were texting in.
Starting point is 00:27:17 They wanted to shut up. You wanted to use your picnic basket. He was down for that? He was so excited and it was so just like wholesome. And he was in charge of bringing the actual food and I was in charge of bringing the activities. And the basket. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:31 With no food in it. Activities. I ended up bringing bubbles, which I realized quickly was really stupid. I was thinking a frisbee would be a cool. I see that now. Okay. The bubbles lasted for all of like 30 seconds. It wasn't super entertaining.
Starting point is 00:27:50 I brought some like finger painting stuff. I thought that would be cute too. How old is this guy? Can I ask this? See seven. I mean, to be fair, the big bubble wands are actually sweet. There you go. What did he say when you're pulling out all this, like, elementary school?
Starting point is 00:28:06 It's like a fun day at the park, but this doesn't seem romantic. I mean, we're both, like, creative people, and so he laughed and blew a few bubbles. And so I thought that maybe they'd be good activities to keep the hands distracted, but allow conversations to flow. And so, I don't know. I thought it was a good idea. Okay. Yeah. We have red balloons two and three.
Starting point is 00:28:28 This is not that bad. We're kidding. We're just joking around. As long as you were happy and he was happy. So what happened next? So the part that was more like the movie up, we walked around the park. We found this perfect spot where there was like a clearing. We laid down this old blanket and we just looked up at the clouds.
Starting point is 00:28:48 We like talked and shared our dreams. And it was just... Were either of you drunk... Had anybody been dreaming? drinking at this point? No. No drinking. Surprisingly.
Starting point is 00:29:00 It was so natural. And that's what I meant by something just seemed very comfortable. Okay. That's great. I'm happy for you. We are so jaded. We are giving you a hard time about it. But it sounds okay so far.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Was there any, was there any low moments during the date or anything that has you worried? There was one, I think, really small moment that is the only thing I can think of. Okay. What happened? So, this sweet little golden doodle ran up at one point. There's a dog? I mean, it's a park.
Starting point is 00:29:34 I guess there would be dogs, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Why is that a low moment? Yeah. Well, the owner walked up and I started asking questions about his puppy because I thought it was so cute. And now that I'm thinking back on it, maybe Andy could have thought something else was going on. I'm like...
Starting point is 00:29:53 Oh, like you were hitting on the golden doodles dad? It made, I mean, the owner was an attractive guy, and I was asking a lot of questions. It was genuine interest about just the dog. His jaw was even squarer than the guy you were with. They actually would have included that in the movie up if the woman didn't die at the beginning. You know, like the real story. Well, when I looked back, the whole time I thought Andy was like right there, but I looked back and he was sitting on the blanket, just like blowing bubbles by himself. Oh.
Starting point is 00:30:21 I know. I broke off the conversation very quickly. After that, I went back to Andy and I apologize and, you know, was saying I just really like dogs. But I don't know. It felt like maybe a little awkward. That's not a red flag to you, huh? Or a red balloon. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Yeah, we're going to be a blue. But overall, it was a really, really great day. But he stopped responding to my text. So I'm just trying to figure out what's going on because this has now turned into like the ghost of up. I'm ghosted. Okay. Ghost of up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Okay. Now it's more like Coco. I get it. There's definitely been a lot of red balloons on this first day. We're going to try and pop them and bring us back down to Earth, get you a second date. When we call Andy for you right after this, okay? Thank you so much. Give me my Disney dream, please.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Hold on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. It's the music per request by Brooke. 99 red balloons. I love this song. We're using them to symbolize red flags Because our listener Sophia compared her date to parts of the movie up
Starting point is 00:31:32 Not the death parts or the Boy Scouts or the floating house No 99% of the movie Like 99 balloons Right it's just the connection that she had Which she describes in her email as possibly lifelong My gosh If we can get her another date with Andy
Starting point is 00:31:50 After they're made up at the park He does kind of look like as of his chiseled jaw A young version. Yeah, totally. So there's similarities there. That's my recap. Brooke, your witness. Feel free to badger her.
Starting point is 00:32:01 No, honestly, like, if this actually works out for you, what a great start to a love story. I mean, that's what you're trying to write here, which, who, it's a lot of pressure. No? Hello? Sophia? Hi. Hi. Yeah, I know a lot of people tune out the second that Brooke starts talking.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I apologize for throwing it over to her. was trying to be encouraging. That's why I'm going to stop doing that. I'm excited for you. Sorry. Sorry. She's fantasizing. I'm nervous.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Okay. All right. Don't be nervous. We're here for you. Yeah. Let us take over and we're going to call Andy for you. You can stay quiet until we call you in, okay? Or just stay quiet even when we do call you in because that's kind of good thing.
Starting point is 00:32:46 We'll try to not let Brooke talk too much. Here we go. Snoose fast. All right. Hey, is this Andy? Yes, it is. Hey, what's up, Andy? Not sure if you're used to being on any radio shows early in the morning, but today's your day.
Starting point is 00:33:11 All right, Andy. You're on the radio, bud. Yay! Welcome to the show. See, as soon as Brooke starts talking. Every time. What is going on? Is it on?
Starting point is 00:33:22 That's the problem, I think. Andy, you still do? We hear you. Let's turn that thing off. Andy, you still there? Yeah, what's going on? Sorry, bro. Hey, Andy.
Starting point is 00:33:32 You're on Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and we're doing something called a second date update, trying to help out one of our listeners that you met up with recently, named Sophia. Okay. Yeah. Hey, do you remember Sophia? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Oh, you sound really down about it. Maybe he's just skeptical. And this is a little shocking, a radio show calls for you. So this is how the segment works. our listeners email us asking for help to hook you two up again because she doesn't know why you haven't done that yet after what sounded like a really nice date in the park. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Aye. Aye. Is that, were those just vowels? Yeah. Just like sometimes why? Let me just give you an easy question. What do you think about Sophia? To be honest, I just kind of didn't trust her all that much.
Starting point is 00:34:25 What? Oh, trust. That, I'm sorry. That's just shocking to us because she just sounds so innocent and lovely and... I mean, yeah, that's what people want you to believe. That's what she sounded like. Yeah. Maybe she's a good actor.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Yeah, maybe you have some MimSetter info that we don't know. Yeah, why do you say you don't trust her? It's like something about her profile. We met online. But, I mean, if it's on her profile, you would know that before you went out. Yeah. Right? Yeah, well, on her profile.
Starting point is 00:34:57 I was like the last picture she has is like a picture of her feet for some reason I noticed. What? Oh. Like in the sand on the beach or something? Yeah, somewhere. And I thought it was really weird because I, you know, I saw her in person and like they weren't her feet. What do you mean? What the heck?
Starting point is 00:35:16 I felt a little foot fished, I guess. Footfish? You got foot fished. What does that even mean? You got cat fin. How did you even see her feet? Well, she had them off. We were, you know, we're after a picnic.
Starting point is 00:35:29 I know at the park. No. Call someone about that. She took her shoes off in the park? She took her shoes off, right. Okay. Are you like a feet guy? No, I'm not a feet guy at all.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Like, they're fine feet. I just don't, I just noticed that there weren't her feet. Oh, okay. How can you tell? Yeah. You're saying, you don't have to be a foot guy to realize it's just like that her feet on profile were just completely different feet. and, I mean, I don't know why you would lie about your feet.
Starting point is 00:36:00 It is a little odd that you would highlight it on your profile. Everyone's trying to make money off footpicks. You think that's what it is? Well, we should call her and ask her if it was a mistake if she even realizes she did it. Yeah, because... Call her. I bet she'll tell you they weren't her feet. Oh. Oh.
Starting point is 00:36:14 That's an interesting idea to call her. Or we don't even have to because she's actually on the other line already, listening and wanting to talk to you. What is it going on? Like, is this a big setup? No. No. No, it's not. I just, you weren't responding and I just, I thought our date was so great. We had a great connection and I just wanted answers. Okay. Well, what's going on with the feet on your profile?
Starting point is 00:36:38 Do you know what he's talking about? I do. So, I guess, like, the first reason is, like, it weeds out the weirdos. I think it attracts the weirdness. I was going to say, wait. It sounds like it does opposite. Well, you know, very quickly who is going to be weird and who's not when they're reaching out. If they're commenting specifically on your footpick, that's how you know, don't respond to that. I noticed you liked and commented on just the foot. That, to me, is just, like, weirdly manipulative.
Starting point is 00:37:05 No. And it sounds like Andy didn't even react to your footpick online. Well, that's what you liked him. Right. No, there's more, I promise. Okay. If you read the caption on my picture, it says those are, like, my perfect dream Disney feat. Like, I thought it was, like, quirky and funny.
Starting point is 00:37:24 and like Disney princesses have perfect feet, but I was trying to like make it a funny joke of... So you're the fuck weirdo. Like I don't have Rapunzel's toes. There's no white's ankles. Okay. I mean, Andy, did you read the caption of her footpick? I mean, to be honest with you,
Starting point is 00:37:42 it wasn't something I really noticed until after. Like, I was just looking at her profile. And I mean, girls plus a lot of crap that you just don't care about. I was just like, oh. No, that's the answer. Did you see that caption? Is she being honest about it? Like, is it still there?
Starting point is 00:38:00 Sophia, could he pull it up and look at it right now? It's there. It's definitely there. And, like, I was very upfront. Like, these are not my feet. These are, like, my perfect Disney feet. So she's saying it's a trap to weed out the weirdos, and she was honest about it. And it does make sense a little bit because we spoke to Sophia earlier.
Starting point is 00:38:21 And she was mentioning the movie up a lot. Oh, she's a Disney adult. She's big into Disney and things like that. That really resonates with her. She said she even told you that you looked like the man from up. Carl. Which you know you're a Disney adult if you know the old guy's name. You know, she knew his name was Carl.
Starting point is 00:38:38 I don't even know his name. Don't you see that as a compliment, Andy? Disney adults freak me out, man. I don't know what's going on there. No, she said you were handsome. That's not what you said on our date, Andy. We were like laying on a blanket looking, up at clouds in the sky, and you were pretty up front with your Disney knowledge.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Okay, I didn't think it was related to feet, though, at the time. And that takes it to a whole different level. Well, if you had a problem with it, I'm not sure why you didn't just bring it up and why you instead chose to ghost me. That seems pretty immature. I will say she's coming across pretty mature. That was me bringing it up. That was me bringing it up, ghosting you. Oh.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Okay. That's not really nice. Passive Aggressive. Just like Carl from Up movie. You think he's passive aggressive? He's very passive aggressive, grumpy man. It's pretty obvious he's not happy. His wife just does.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Yeah, because he loves her. And that's what we're trying to establish here, a love connection. Yeah, just wait until she sends you a boob pick. That'll be like big boobs, too. You never know what party part you're getting. Before we start sending erotic photos to each other, let's send you out. Disney photos. Let's just send you out on a...
Starting point is 00:39:51 second date that we would pay for if you're up for it, Andy? It's just the Disney thing is just kind of weird and the feed thing I can handle a little Disney and like, you know, I went along with the conversation, but it's just kind of like, eh. Wow.
Starting point is 00:40:07 That's too bad. I just can't handle getting footfish. Andy, I hope that you find somebody who can at least compete with your Pokemon card collection. Oh. Whoa. Do you have one of those? Sick burn. Yeah, I have like old Pokemon cards when I was like 12.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Oh, yeah. Well, there's worth a lot of money now, so it's actually very responsible. Kind of jealous of your I guess have a great life, Andy. I don't know what else to say. It's really disappointing that you decided to act that way.
Starting point is 00:40:39 I guess if you want to call somebody childish, sure, I'll take the blame, but at least I am happy at the end of the day and I don't burn bridges with people that would have treated me well. Yeah, I guess you could go make your own happy ending. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:52 But then usually that costs extra, though, Brooke? No, Jeff, not. Never mind. That's not the same thing. You said the wrong words. Oh, okay. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Today's episode is brought to you by Vinted.
Starting point is 00:41:07 And if you guys are anything like me, my style changes with every season. I love keeping up with trends, but I'll go from loving one style to suddenly wanting a completely different wardrobe just a few weeks later. And I definitely don't want to spend a ton of money every few months. And that's why I've started using. using Vinted. Vinted is a secondhand app that makes it easy for everyday sellers, people like you and me, to sell pre-loved fashion, and earn some extra money. So thanks to Vinted, what I've started doing is going through my closet, finding clothes I'm not wearing anymore, and selling them on Vinted. It's
Starting point is 00:41:35 really quick and simple. You just list your item by taking a few pictures of it, and when it sells, Vinted sends you a prepaid shipping label. Plus, there's no seller fees, so you keep everything you earn. Then you can cash out your money, or what I like to do, use it right on Vinted to find some new clothes. That way, I can refresh my wardrobe without feeling like I just spent a ton of money. So I get to clear out my closet, make some money, and find new pieces I actually love, all on Vinted. If you're ready to clean out your closet and make some extra money, download the Vinted app for free and start listing. With no seller fees, you keep every dollar you earn.

Starting point is 00:42:39 Did we coin the term? Do we get the credit for it? Oh, I think that guy gets the credit for it. He's the one that said it. You didn't bring it up, yeah. I mean, the whole thing's kind of strange. Yeah. Yeah, I was.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Of course, the guy doesn't read the captions on women's profile picks because honestly, no guy does. Yeah, but no. I mean, is she so bad at weeding out the weirdos that she has to put a foot pickup that's not hers? I don't know. I just, is it that difficult? I do kind of respect her strategy to weed out the creepers from her dating profile. I think we should post pictures of all of our feet on the Brooke and Jeffrey Insta stories to weed out the weird listeners. These are never going to go up for free.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Are you sure? Afterwards, we might not have any listeners left. We like weird listeners. Yeah. We are not anti-weird. Who wants to see my hairy feet knuckles? Yeah. No one.
Starting point is 00:43:26 The knuckles even have hair on. I still think we should post them. I think for you, Jose, it's just the long toenails. Yeah. Sometimes I bite them. Yeah. So, you know, it didn't work out for this particular couple. It doesn't mean it won't work out for you.
