This is Questlove. Man, I cannot believe we're already wrapping up another season of Questlove Supreme. Man, we've got some amazing guests lined up to close out the season, but, you know, I don't want any of you guys to miss all the incredible conversations we've had so far. I mean, we talked to A. Marie,

Johnny Marr, E, Jonathan Schechter, Billy Porter, and so many more. Look, if you haven't heard these episodes yet, hey, now's your chance. You gotta check them out.

Listen to Questlove Supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What if you asked two different people the same set of questions? Even if the questions are the same, our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver, and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast. And now, Minnie Questions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new set of guests our seven questions, including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe, and Cord Jefferson.

Listen to Minnie Questions on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Seven questions, limitless answers. We have tracked the most listened to second date updates across all of our podcast platforms. Dude, and we are terrible at math. Yes, we are. This was

very tricky. Thanks, computers. Somehow we figured out the top ten second date updates for you. Counting them down, and right now we're at number four on the countdown. It's got four streams, that means, right? Yes. Something like that. A record for us featuring Alexis' favorite things, coffee and dogs she doesn't own.

Oh, yes. It really is. I thought you were going to make a joke. No. It's way better when it's not your dog. That's why we called it Coffee and Canines. Enjoy. Second Date Update.

They say dogs are a man's best friend. Yeah. Why? Because they're great wingmen. Oh, God. They really are. Very true. You have a cute dog with you.

Heck, even a really ugly dog. Gorgeous women will stop mid-marathon to walk over and pet them. It is true. Oh, it's so cute. And it's like sometimes the uglier dog, the more attractive it is. Yeah. Or like even the owner, like, you took in an ugly dog? He doesn't even have a face.

Cute. You're just looking at his other end, Jeff. He's got a tongue sticking out. And apparently that's how William met his date, with the help of a Bernadoodle. Or is it a Doodle Burn? Bernadoobanoodler? What is it? I can't keep up with all the crossbreeds here.

And when I say crossbreeds, I mean my co-host. But enough about this group of butt snippers. Let's just talk to William. William, how you doing man hey how's it going guys oh you have a cute pup what's the dog's name is it bad that i care about that more than your date right now my dog's name is bogey it's already working oh wow i know buttons are coming loose already tell us us about Bogie and how Bogie helped you meet your girl. So, yeah, so I adopted Bogie like about a month ago or so. And I started going to the dog park. And recently I met Rochelle and she has a Bernadette as well. So naturally our dogs started playing together. Same dog, right?

Yeah. So, yeah, we started talking and we decided to end up getting coffee okay i'm so sorry i haven't listened to a single thing you said because i was looking at pictures of bernadoodles online look at them they're really cute multicolored they're like white chest and like dark black fur up on the face. It's like a movie. Yeah, they're actually pretty awesome. Really great dogs. Okay, so we're going to a cafe. Is that what we're doing? I was really distracted as well.

We totally zoned out. Go back to meeting. Don't go all the way. I'll recap it. They met, they have the same dog and they agreed to go to a cafe. Right after the dog park. Same date, they have the same dog, and they agreed to go to a cafe. Okay, great. Right after the dog park, like same day, right? Yeah, yeah. We ended up saying, oh, do you want to grab some coffee at the cafe over there?

So we sat outside. We were just kind of getting to know each other. And it turns out that Rochelle actually is really well-versed in coffee. I mean, she used to work at a coffee plant. She knows everything that goes into the roasting and all of that. really well, well versed in coffee. I mean, you know, she used to work at a coffee plant, you know, everything that goes into the roasting and all of that. And Brooke, he means a coffee factory, you know, he's not, he didn't work at just one plant.

She's like I was in Costa Rica for 30 years making coffee beans. Okay. So naturally she said, uh, she said actually there's this coffee plant that does coffee tours. Um, Oh, like a roasting place, yeah. So she's like, do you want to do that? Like, we should go out there sometime. Those are required for my old job, and those people talk a lot.

Oh, really? I mean, when I think hot, sexy, romantic date, I don't think, let's go see some coffee beans be roasted. Oh, I don't know. I think it's interesting. I mean, you learn. Because they talk so much, you learn. I mean, we met at the dog park.

Like, it was very chill, natural. It was just the vibe. It was kind of like, okay, cool. This is a great opportunity to hang out again. Was it romantic? Like, did it feel like there was chemistry between you two? We had chemistry. Yeah, for sure.

We had chemistry. Okay, that's great. So did you actually end up going on the coffee tour? Oh, yeah. Oh, you did? We actually went on the date. How was so we actually went on the on the date how was it how was the tour and the interaction with her it was actually way better than i was expecting it was it was there was just a lot of people on it so that was the only part that was

a bit frustrating um we naturally just kind of hung to the back for most of it um and she kind of would also explain to me different things about the plant and whatnot i am hot i mean at least very very sexy yeah this is one of those things where you know she's excited to show you yeah so i mean you know even if it's not interesting you bite the bullet you let her go you know her eyes are probably big like oh and this oh and this at least she was having a good time. I didn't know there were so many different types of coffee beans. Wow. Oh, black and more black.

I think it can be, like, really attractive to see somebody, like, nerd out on something that they're really into. Even if you don't like it. That's true. Not my thing. I'm, like, falling asleep over here. I know. What do you need? What do you need?

Is there any, like like action or anything? Yeah What was the most exciting part Of the coffee experience for you? Well so actually Probably midway through We just kind of had a moment And then we actually just kissed

Like it was very There we go Like in the moment Is this in like the mandatory kissing part of the tour? They have you kiss in front of a giant coffee vat? No. It happened, honestly, it's just very natural. That's really sweet.

But this little 10-year-old kid, this little 10-year-old kid, like, was near us and we didn't see him, so it like totally called us out on it. He's like, no, bro, they're kissing. Yes, it was exactly like that. And so it kind of like, you know, it was funny, but it also kind of like you know it was funny but it also kind of like killed the vibe a little bit yeah anytime you got kids around when you're trying to make out not fun i mean i can tell you from experience yeah all right yeah better like all this kids watching so how did you leave things at the end of the day so from there just there was only probably 10 minutes left of the date then it just like we took some coffee said we had fun looking forward to like hanging

out again and just went our separate ways and that was it and then i i actually haven't heard from her again since then oh my god like you like you've texted her and you've gotten nothing back yeah like she's just kind of gone mia oh no it seems a bit weird it is weird i don't know we're gonna we're gonna play a song we'll come back we'll call rochelle and figure out why after your thrilling coffee tour she is some for some reason not calling you back coffee breath you guys it was her idea and they kissed. Oh my God. In front of a child. Brooke and I are into it. You guys are convincing.

We'll see what she has to say after this. Hold on. Second date update. The first step in coffee production is harvesting the beans. How do you get those beans? At peak ripeness. Next, they process the beans. Is this accurate?

Using either the dry or the wet method. The wet method. Then, they dry the beans. Wait, after the wet part? On large parchment sleeves. Oh, wow. On large parchment sleeves. With a whole deep pulp, grade, and sort the beans into one of 17 categories. Did you Google search? Are you just reading?

We need a break, guys. It's getting hot in here. Then we fall asleep. He did not think the date was boring. I know you think that. I better stop before it gets too raunchy in the studio. Because I'm just describing William's first date where he and Rochelle went to a coffee production plant and got the whole history about how coffee's made.

And Jeffrey and Alexis think this is dumb and boring. Brooke and I seem to think it's cool that they were interested. Yeah, they both enjoyed it. They made out in the middle of the tour, you guys. I was skeptical that it could be a romantic experience, but there was a kiss in front of a 10-year-old. So I stand corrected. Very hot.

But now it's been a week, and Rochelle isn't calling back after the date. We're hoping to figure out why. Did we miss anything there, William? No, yeah, you guys got it pretty on. Sounds like you were a little bit turned on there. Hey, William, we never heard, why do you think she's not calling you back? I don't really know.

I don't know if she was seeing someone else and then realized we did keep seeing each other. I don't know. I don't really know. But even if that was the case, it's just kind of like, say that, and it's not gonna have to be weird well maybe she has a totally reasonable explanation maybe and i'm sure we can bring your two beans together to make the perfect brew roast yeah very nice very nice okay thank you blend yes some sort of medium

blonde blend of love. More like a Burna blend because of their dogs. But let's just get into it. We'll just stop with these puns and call Rochelle to get this over with. Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Rochelle? Yeah, this is she.

Hey, Rochelle, my name's Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Oh, okay. I'm calling you for a second date update today. I'm not sure if you're familiar with that segment, but we're looking to reconnect you with one of our listeners using the dry or wet method. Oh, God, Stop saying that. Second wet.

Oh my god. I'm sorry, Rochelle. It's an inside joke. I'm very sorry. She's going to hang up. Am I on the radio right now? You are. You're on the sexiest morning show in North America right now. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Saying so much for radio, isn't it? That's true. Number one morning show for beans. Please stop. What's going on? One of our listeners is trying to get a hold of you named William that you went out with. Oh my god.

Oh no. Oh no. Why'd you say no? No, no, no, no. Yeah, no. No. Why'd you say no? What? No. No, no, no. No. No.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why that reaction? It sounds like you had such a great time on the date. It was so awkward. I did not expect this. I know. We were expecting a little bit of a better reaction from you after we heard about your date.

William told us about the coffee plant factory and said he's been trying to get a hold of you for the last week, texting and asking you out again. But you're not responding. Yeah, I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say right now. You guys sounded like you could be so cute, like you had the same dog. Yeah, yeah. Bogey got along with Tinky. Really, really good.

That's kind of cute. Yeah, I mean, it's just That's kind of cute. Yeah. I mean, it's just, it's really weird that he told you about our date. Yeah, I thought it was weird, too, that he would tell us that. But it does help with how the segment works. Because we want to know about what you guys did together and how the interaction was. And from our end, it seemed okay. Minus the part where you made out in front of a 10-year-old.

Oh, my. He told you that? Oh my God. Yeah. He said, I mean, it sounded cute and sweet. And then it got,

of course, interrupted when some kid called you guys out on the coffee tour. Okay. So he told you, he told you a lot. Yeah. So I'm just going to cut to the chase. Like,

what is the reason that you're not getting ahold of him again? Okay. So, okay. I mean, when I first met him, it was like great. And you know, there's like a spark with people when you meet them. And we got to know each other. We got coffee.

We like hung out for like an hour and some change. And he's super cute. Like he's really, he's really cute. Like he's really attractive. Oh my God. What is wrong then? Yeah. It's just like, I realized when we were together

with the dogs, he was like an eight, you know. But like without Bogey, he was like a five or a six and I don't know why. I don't know why. You weren't attracted to him at the coffee tour when he didn't have his dog? I mean, like physically, he is very cute, but there is something about him not having

his dog around that like really dulled his personality or something. Like I've never had this happen. His dog's the hot one in the relationship between the two of them. He's got some competition. Is it like he ran out of things to talk to you about because, I mean, maybe that was your similar shared thing was the dogs? Maybe, yeah. That's a

good point. Like, I honestly, because this has never happened to me before, and I was like, I can't pinpoint what the heck it is. I think it's like I would hang out with him all the time if he was with his dog because there was just something about him. I was like,

what's wrong with that? I'm sure that's an option. He can be with his dog 24 seven and then he'll never be unattractive to you. But you guys kissed, you kissed on the tour. Yeah. I mean like things weren't really going that good on my end and I didn't quite like,

I couldn't figure out what was going on, why I wasn't into him anymore. I just kind of kissed him to try and like spark something yeah it's just I didn't I didn't feel anything but if he would had his dog you would have been so into it maybe maybe I would have been so weird yeah and this is this is a tough one to come back from but it's not his fault william does deserve to know the truth and he heard it directly from you now rochelle because i didn't tell you this but even i forgot he was still yeah i don't know if this is gonna raise or lower his rating in your mind but he's been on the other line listening this whole time are you serious yeah he wants to talk to you are you serious it's okay it's just how you feel hey yeah i know i'm definitely uh surprised to hear that but oh man sorry buddy are you okay i'm totally fine i mean

i i just i if you had just said that like we wouldn't i guess we wouldn't be here i thought you were into it and if you had just said hey i wasn't feeling it like no no okay but i did feel it like i felt it with you and bogey just not just not just you you know like that's that combo right there that's what does it for me i mean i don't know what kind of freak you stuck her into. Oh, no, no, no, no. It does sound strange. He said. It makes sense to me. It's like Batman is only attractive if Robin's there with him.

That's not true at all. No one thinks that. Some people think that. It adds a little bit of extra spice to it. No, that's like saying Alfred has to be there. Yeah, I'll take Alfred, too. Oh, God, Jeff. Let's get the whole family in.

I mean, here's the thing, Rochelle. Maybe you're not giving him enough chance because maybe the coffee thing was boring like jeff said and the lighting was bad and like there just wasn't a place to be sparky so now you're on our side what is boring about de-hulling and grading and sorting coffee tell me one boring thing about that i thought it was interesting but maybe that's why you got the vibe that things were dead okay i mean i would like to think about like another date or yeah i think you should give it another chance i think so too and he can promise to carry around a picture of his dog with him right next to his face so it's like they're both there all the time and we'll pay for that date i mean i i'd be up for hanging out again if it was like us and our dogs oh okay to be honest i'm not to make it any more awkward like i really don't it's

not but i don't need to on a second date like i heard enough like i know what how where you stand and i would actually just rather like keep it cool we see each other in the dog park our dogs play like just have to be awkward like you're into the dog you know but wait can we agree that like the kids seeing us kiss on our first kiss ever like that's totally a sign that we shouldn't be together i feel like i just i thought it was funny i didn't really think about it that deeply but yeah well if you guys agree to be friends and that's still a successful second date, there's no hard feeling. I think you've handled this really maturely. Oh, thank you, Brooke. I do think I did a really good job of handling this.

I came through in a big way. Stop. Okay. I appreciate you recognizing my greatness for once. You made it through a whole coffee second date update. Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We're so done with new year, new you.
