Rustic wineries. Oh, for sure. Rustic mini golf courses. Rustic bowling alleys. We're're going down the shoes are so hot no that's just because of the previous person as long as it's rustic inside another place that oozes with sexual energy is your local convenience store. Oh, God. We really went downhill there. On the start of a list of that. Yeah. Apparently, we're one of our listeners.

Eddie met someone recently. What? At a convenience store? Let's talk to him about it. Eddie, you dog, welcome to the rustic studios of our morning show. How do you do? Hey. I'm okay.

It's actually a brand new studio, bro. It's not rustic. Oh, my God. And rustic vibes. Okay. Okay. Was it as romantic as Jeffff is describing no actually it's kind of embarrassing come on jeff what are you doing what happened yeah so i went to a convenience store i kind of go there all the time i was

just picking up a couple items yeah and uh i I get up to the counter, put it up. They ring me up, and I forgot my wallet at home. Oh, man. Oh, no. I hate that. Dude, that's why you got to do the pay on your phone. Apple Pay is where it's at. It saves you in a cent.

He's a rustic gentleman. He likes to have a wallet. That's right. Old school. Pays with coins, I bet, don't you? Not even cash. Yeah. I was wanting toays with coins, I bet, don't you? Not even cash. Yeah. I was wanting to pay with cash, but that didn't matter.

So I'm like sitting there like an idiot, like patting myself up and down. Oh, I hate that. Yeah, like it's going to miraculously show up in a box. It feels embarrassing when it happens as if you did it on purpose for some reason. Yeah. When you're looking around, I swear I have money. Yeah. So did you snatch your items and run?

What did you do? No, all of a sudden I heard this girl's voice, and I have money. So did you snatch your items and run? What did you do? No, all of a sudden I heard this girl's voice. Then I turned around and she's like, hey, is that all you're getting? And I was like, yeah. And she said, oh, I got you. I'll pay for it. I was like, no, no, no. I mean, talk about embarrassed.

That is embarrassing. It's probably just because she doesn't want you to hold up the line anymore. Okay. Yeah, she wanted to get the hell out. Yeah. Is this the girl that you're talking about that you met? Yeah, Samantha. Oh.

Samantha. Okay. Samantha's cute with money, huh? Wow. And she's a good Samaritan. And a little bit of a show-off, too. But that's cool. Not a show-off.

Look how rich she is. Okay. So she bought your stuff for you? Yeah, so she bought my stuff. So then I'm like, okay, she's cute but i'm never gonna see her again so i'm like cool thanks pay it forward all that stuff right and what happens the next week i run into her again no way oh so it's both your local store wait at the store yeah clearly yes and i had never seen her or like never noticed her but she's cute So I definitely thought I would have noticed her if I'd seen her a lot before. So I'm like, oh, my God, do you remember last week?

And she was like, of course I do, which, again, embarrassing. Yeah, you owe me $14, by the way. She's like, you could have found me on Venmo. Yeah, right? Okay, I can sense a little bit of a flirtation, though, happening just in that moment alone. Please tell me you used the opportunity to pay for whatever she was buying I did, that's exactly it I was like, let me pay you back

So then I just like took care of what she put up on that counter Total simp move, dude That's what the simps do What? No Jeffrey, that is cute You definitely should have made her pay again just to show who was in charge Okay

It's your move It's your move. That's a real alpha. I don't know. Yeah. All right. All right. So what did you do? Well, I was like, so, you know, what are you doing the rest of the day?

I figured I'd shoot my shot. Yeah. Oh, the rest of the day, like a date right then. A day date. Well, I mean, it was like, you know, it was like turning into evening. So I was like, I'm just going to go home. I'm going to watch some TV. I'm going to like order some food. Why don't you like come and chill? like turning into evening so i was like i'm just gonna go home i'm gonna watch some tv i'm gonna

like order some food why don't you like come and chill and i thought she'd be like oh let me give you my number and stuff but instead she was like cool i'm not doing anything let's do it what dude this girl's so rad and you guys are vibing like you're both down to kick it out of nowhere you're both helping each other does she mean like right then yeah we walked back to my place right then wow your rustic place i'm assuming it was clean no it was yeah oh no i definitely definitely clean yeah okay how did that go it was great i mean the only thing that i can think is not great is that i forgot to tell her, or like, I didn't even think about it.

I didn't think it was a big deal that I have a small dog. Oh, that's not a big deal. Dogs are cute. Unless you don't like dogs. Yeah, a lot of people don't like dogs. I'm sorry. I am speaking for myself here.

As soon as she walked in, she was like, oh, okay, cool. But I'm scared of dogs. Oh, no. Dude, and I will say the little ones can be the most ferocious. Yeah, they're both aggressive. Yeah.

My guy's super friendly. Like, he's a great dog. Okay, he doesn't bite her? No, no, not at all. Not at all. He was, like, trying to cuddle up to her. And actually, I was, like, giving her credit for, like, powering through. We ordered some food.

We watched TV. And then she left. And I was like, oh, there was no real chance for me to like take it to that romantic level because she was very preoccupied with the dog oh i see okay that's interesting i mean it is funny though that you met her at a convenience store because most of the people that meet there like at least one of them doesn't have a working cell phone so is that like are you sure that she had of a burner phone? Maybe that's the issue

Yeah, no, it was I thought it was going really it was going well I should say it was going well, but I did like I've kept texting her and I'm not getting any Honestly, it could come down to that. You have a. Yeah. Like, if she's scared of them. People are scared of dogs. Yeah. Do not get over that in one day. No. But she seemed like she tried.

Like, you said she powered through, so maybe she was uncomfortable. But you said your dog is nice. And she tried to leave, is what it sounds like. Well, okay. Are you mad at your dog for dog blocking you on your date? That's right, Jeffrey. Oh, I sold the dog, he said. No, you still hung on to it.

No, usually the girls are into the dog. Oh, okay. It dog, he says. No, you still hung on to it? No, usually the girls are into the dog. Oh, okay. This is unusual, but let's come back. We're going to call Samantha for you, and we'll try to convince her to look past your dog and give you a shot when we do a second date update right after this. Second date update. Honestly, I didn't know what to label this segment

for when we posted up on our podcast at Brooke and Jeffrey. Okay. I feel like it's either going to be convenience store cuties. Uh-huh. That's kind of... I like the alliteration. Or dog-blocked raise the wolf. Oh. Wow. So make sure to

follow and subscribe and rate our podcast. Personally, I give it four stars if you ask me. Dude, I bet a lot of people are going to be searching Waze the Woof. You should. Oh, we should do Waze the Woof. Yeah, we'll figure it out eventually. But I bring it up because our listener, Eddie, met a girl recently at a convenience store twice.

On two separate occasions. The second time, she ended up going home with him. Didn't know that he had a dog though until she got there and she turns out to be a little bit afraid of dogs but tried to tough it out and hang with him till she eventually had to leave eddie i mean like did she ever say that she ended up liking the dog what's the dog's name oh we didn't ask that mo mo mo did she go around hi mo, let's not do this. I love dogs.

Wondering if she ever said, like, actually, that wasn't so bad with Mo or anything like that. No, she really was pretty tense the whole time, and she was really sweet, trying to cuddle with her and everything, but she wasn't having it. Has she said anything to you since? Did we ask that part? Yeah. No, nothing. Oh, man. You said she was trying her best to, like, hang and cuddle with Mo.

Is there any chance that we call her and find out that she's half wolf? What? The dog. Oh, the dog. Oh. It's a tiny dog, he said. I'm just saying, he may have a vicious side to him. Mean mugging.

I'm going to say no, that's not possible. He's not going to entertain you, Jeff He's also questioning why he called in the show For questions like that, Jeffrey I would like to have Mo on this call As a character witness, but unfortunately we can't So let's just call Samantha And see what she has to say

Here we go Dollar number right now Hello hello hey uh we're looking for samantha are you driving a semi-truck samantha i'm not what about a fighter airplane like a jet are you bombing right now maybe we should just ask if she's busy yeah sorry i you don't even know who we are we're a radio show called brooke and jeffrey in the morning sorry to interrupt your day good morning hi samantha good morning sorry sorry i know this

is weird but we're doing a segment called a second date update okay have you ever heard one of those before no all right okay well this is going to be kind of fun for you hopefully because uh there's Okay. Have you ever heard one of those before? No. All right. Okay. Well, this is going to be kind of fun for you, hopefully, because there's a guy who reached out to us. He's a listener of our show. Seems like a really cool dude. His name's Eddie, and he says that he hung out with you the other day. It was kind of a crazy story. Like, you guys had, like, an impromptu date.

Yeah, we heard a lot about it, and Eddie said he's trying to figure out a way that you guys can meet up again, but that's not happening for some reason, and he's not sure why. There's no way I'd ever see him again. There's no way you'd see him? Why? It seems like you guys had a chill time based on what we heard, and you obviously must have had interest because you went back with him to his house. And you stayed for a while.

After meeting at a convenience store. Yeah, okay, don't a convenience store so much judgment your voice the lead story at the top of the news at 10 missing girl meets rando at convenience store more at 11 you've always survived your convenience store meetup so mine are prearranged we meetings brooke oh see i see more trustworthy we're not talking about my whirlwind romances we're trying to focus on samantha's okay no i can't i can't even say it it's beyond embarrassing wait embarrassing for you or because he didn't have money yeah and we love embarrassing things i can't even say it, I've literally only told one friend about this.

Really? What was their reaction? She was mortified. She was mortified? Mortified. Again, for you or for him or for both of you? Good questions. Oh, my God.

You sound nervous. Oh, my God. I am dying to know. Look, can we just say, Eddie seems like he really, really likes you. He wouldn't be reaching out through a radio station unless he really felt a genuine connection. He just wants to know what he did wrong. We promise we wouldn't judge you for it at all, no matter how embarrassing it is. We've literally heard everything on this show.

You can make Brooke say something more embarrassing after. Yeah. I've lived a very humiliating life. Okay, but you guys have to promise you'll never tell him this. Okay, tell him. Yeah, I promise we will not say anything. Nothing comes out of our mouths. Yep, cross my heart.

All right, let's not lay it on too thick, okay? What's going on? Did he tell you about his dog? Yeah, that he has a little dog named Mo. He mentioned that you were a little bit afraid of dogs. Yeah. Is that what you mean a little bit afraid of dogs. Yeah. Is that what you mean? I was trying my best.

Good. We were hanging out and just watching a TV show, and then Mo jumped up on my lap. Yeah. Okay. God, this is so embarrassing. And my body just reacted involuntarily. What do you mean?

Your body? Like you got scared? I peed a little bit. Oh, sweet girl. Oh, wait, you peed your pants? Sorry, we don't mean to laugh. We don't mean to laugh. Oh, that's funny.

I know, it's horrible. And I was just like, I was mortified. So how wet were you? That's not a question you ask a lady, Brooke. Dude, I have a best friend, honest to God. She pees her pants all over the place. I have a friend too. She'll call me from a dressing room.

She was at a modeling thing one time and was like, Brooke, you'll never believe this. I just wet myself. I don't know what to do. I'm stuck in the dressing room. This is a thing? Okay. I know Brooke doesn't always keep the best company, so it might not be the best comparison.

She's really great. She really is. So, okay. I could see you'd be a little bit embarrassed by that. Did he know that? No. I ended up asking Eddie if I could have another drink. And once he went to the kitchen, I looked up. I saw there was

a mark on the cushion. Oh, girl. It's fine. So, I looked up. I saw there was a mark on the cushion. Oh, no. Oh, girl. It's fine. It was that bad. So I just, like, I didn't know what to do. And I just flipped it over. The drink. And I just, the cushion.

Oh, the couch cushion. Oh, I totally would have spilled the drink and been like, oh, no. I thought this was going. Oh, smart, too. In hindsight. She asked for the drink. That's what I thought. Oh, okay.

No, she always just for her embarrassment. So you tried to hide the evidence. Yes, and I was just like, I'm sorry, I have to go. And I just, I'm still so embarrassed. Oh, girl. You didn't ask why. That is, you do not have to be embarrassed by that. It just jumped on you.

If anybody should be embarrassed, it's me for forgetting to tell you that Eddie's on the other line listening to this conversation right now. What? That's my bad. I'm very, very embarrassed. You could add a little more remorse in your voice, Jeff. We live up to our promise. We didn't say anything to Eddie. That all came out of your mouth. It's fine. I guarantee you he

thinks this is funny. Let's not guarantee anything. Make her feel better. Eddie, are you there? Hey, yeah. How's Make her feel better. Eddie, are you there? Hey, yeah. How's it going? See? Eddie.

Make her feel better, Eddie. Listen, Samantha. Listen, you don't have to be embarrassed. I'm glad I know now that I have to go home and wash my cushions. Oh, my God. No, no. No, but seriously, it wasn't fair of me

to not tell you that I have a dog. So I set you up to be in that situation. So I feel bad because you obviously, you shouldn't have been so embarrassed.

You could have just told me we could have laughed about it. It's not a big deal. Aw. And you probably couldn't tell, thankfully, but that couch has so many stains from other things.

And need it washed anyways. I'm just glad you didn't look at my dining room chairs. They are way worse. I didn't press you in the dining room. Stop saying things like that. I think we've done our job. We've made her feel better. You just see my bed. It's a water bed.

It just impressed Alexis. I don't know if you guys are listening. I didn't expect better from a guy. Alexis is like, did you say dining room cheese? Yeah. So, wait, do you feel better, Samantha? I mean, I guess. I just, I'm sorry I didn't say anything.

It's really, seriously, it's not a big deal. You should not be, like, dwelling on this. So, look, he'll pee his pants just to make you feel better, right? Eddie? If that's what it'll take. Wow. I mean, a guy who's willing to do that for you, Samantha,

you can't let him get away. You gotta go out with him one more time and we would pay for that second date. You can do it somewhere where there's no dogs anywhere around or somewhere rustic. That's the important thing. As long as it somewhere where there's no dogs anywhere around. Or somewhere rustic. That's the important thing. As long as it's a rustic location. What do you think, Samantha? Well, I don't know

about rustic, but... I do, but go ahead. I mean, Eddie, if we do end up hanging out, my face is going to be beet red if we hang out for like the first 30 minutes. Well, I'll think of my most embarrassing story and share it with you. Well, I'll think of my most embarrassing story and share it with you.

Aw, see, that's cute. And then on your guys' first anniversary, you can get her a set of Depends. So is that a yes, Samantha? You're going to see him one more time? Yes. Oh, yay! All right!

Oh, I just peed a little with excitement. It's just old age, Brooke. That's just what happens. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Man, that is the perfect example of what you want to hear at a wedding, of how the bride and groom first met. Oh, no.

Dude, I'll tell you. By the time, if they got married, by the time they get married, they will totally share that story. You think so? Yes. So sweet. Convenience stores, rabid dogs, soggy couch cushions. That was already apparently pretty soggy to begin with.

Apparently. I mean, that's the stuff that dreams are made of. Dude, so funny. Okay, well, if you have an embarrassing meetup story, text us right now. We're going to read them all. I will say, though, if they do start a relationship or something, that man needs to clean more. Oh, yeah, dude. That was a little gross.

He didn't even notice the stain. Yeah. I do hope that they end up together because you never know with these things. But that one is already on my wish list to get an update update from them. We got to check in in about six months to see where they're at. What if they all pee with the dog now? Okay. That you made it gross.

You just started to go fund me for a new couch. Yeah, we'll do that. But you can you can go check out all of our second date updates up on our podcast at Brooke and Jeffrey. Whoever gets yours. And if you ever need help with your dating life, email the show. We'll call the person who isn't calling you back. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
