All right, it's time for a brand new second date podcast. Thanks for being here with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And I'm just gonna say, one of our listeners today

made a very bold request during the second date, and yes, I am still offended by it. Yeah. Okay, okay, I am, but I did agree to it anyway. You did. Just to help the guy out, okay? I love when the listeners know the show that well, that they can have, you know what I mean?

Such specific personality requests. That's ridiculous. All right, we're gonna hear it in just a second, but first we got some great comments from our amazing listeners. Thank you so much for being here. We love reading them. Yeah. Ooh, Skylar said, I don't know if you saw this one, I stay up until 1 to 2 a.m. to listen

to this podcast. Oh my gosh. Slash radio station. I'm obsessed. Oh, I love that. Someday you'll get old, Skylar, and then you could just listen in the morning. Yeah. That's a nice thing about podcasts.

You could listen anytime, but I love that. I do forget people normally do stay up pretty late, like later than us. Yeah, totally. We wake up early. I mean, you think it's just a podcast, but we also do a morning radio show, so we're here early, early.

Any other good ones? OK, so the username isn't a name, but a number. OK, let's not read it. OK, I'm not going to read it. Because it's probably somebody's phone number. But a bunch of numbers. It says, listening from Puerto Rico every day. My girl can't speak English, and I take time

to translate in Spanish. That's how good we love it. Oh, yeah. Mad love. That is so cool. I have met so many Latino people that have talked to me and been like, we started listening and we've learned English.

That's so cool. That's so cute you translated for your girlfriend. Yeah. I'm taking Spanish lessons. If you want me to broken translate for you. Oh, okay. Like, yo como manzana. I don't think he's gonna take you up on that offer.

I'm just curious if he does different voices for each of us. This is a lot of Spanish men that can help as well. That are fluent. There you go, there you go. All right, we're going to get to what you really came for and that's a brand new second date. It's starting right now.

Second date update. We've got a loyal listener to the show who says he's been tuning into our second dates for years. That's so cool. Thank you. And one of his worst fears finally came true. Oh no. He had to email us to be in one of his own.

His name is Noah, so let's talk to him. Noah, I'm happy you're here, even if you're not. Glad you came to us for help. How you doing today? I'm pretty good. How you guys doing? I mean, it is such a double edged sword, right? Like you want to be part of the show, but then you don't

Yeah, be careful what you wish for We'll try to make this as seamless and gentle on you as possible. Let's start with the girl that you met recently. What's her name? April April okay, all right strong start you almost forgot it. Yeah, I appreciate that now. I just nervous on the air It's weird, but no you're good man. You're doing great so far our ratings have never been higher, so thank you I'm feeling good about it already, so let's keep going. How did you meet April? We know we met up an app dating app our ratings just plummeted More fun that moment We have a live ratings meter. I'm just kidding.

How did you strike up conversation with her? The cool thing about apps, if you do them right, you have little bios and you can get a little nuggets from there and I was able to kind of tap into a couple things I saw and it was fun but she was funny. You know, she doesn't take things too seriously and has that kind of fun perspective on life and that's kind of how I roll It's I'd like to think that's me Like you guys match up your vibes are similar right? When you're using the apps, right, that's how they work, right? So yeah, that's awesome So wait, you're like attributing like that. You believed everything in her bio everything in your bios legit and everything checked out well I you know it's funny when she says something like that. She loves to sing

I would think that would be a weird thing to lie about she's a singer Okay, I love to sing and that does not mean that you have to be good at it, okay This is a good segue actually so uh-oh I just said hey Can I take you somewhere to go sing and she got excited So like karaoke right like what is the other option? Well, yeah, karaoke would have been broken a choice. Oh, wasn't that I? chose a baseball game

Because of the seventh inning stretch Yes, and now in retrospect, it's regretful, but that's exactly it. Of course she was bored out of her mind, and I just, I don't know, maybe I built it up too much or something about the singing part, and that's on me. Noah, I know you can't see Brooke right now in the studio, but she has never looked more confused

and concerned in her entire life. It's just the connection between baseball and singing. Yeah, that's wild. I've never heard anyone make that connection. Like, do you go that hard with Take Me Out to the Ball Game that you consider it a performance? Do you not go that hard with it, Brooke? You know, it's something that is fun and, you know, interactive and, and quite honestly, like the singing's there kind of as an option, but like if she didn't want to, she didn't have to. A baseball game is a great date. as an option But like if she didn't want to she didn't have to a baseball game is a great date

It's just like if she didn't know that's where she was going. Did you tell her? Not so much. I was just trying to keep it mysterious and you know cool and have a little guessing game and I mean I was all in I was like super Stitious with a specific chair Like for your team, I think yeah, I was really into it I think this is great Don't listen to everybody like trying to poke holes in your date idea and say that it was horrible or like not He's not getting a call back right now, so he thinks maybe that was the reason we don't know and he doesn't know

Well, here's the day. I thought she would be playful with it and think it was cute cool whatever, but now it was more It was more high-roll. It's been I Did you guys make it to the seventh inning stretch to finally get to the singing long time yeah and And she was like when are we singing? So is it something like she doesn't know that in baseball the seventh inning like in between your everybody sings a song together He did not know that now That's why I thought that would be cool I've seen it happen, but I didn't know it's a good thing people look forward to

Okay, here's the deal, you know you guys have done it's very like contagious and you get there and yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was more just a symbolic gesture, right? Like, okay. Okay. Did you have any fun? Yeah, I mean, I did have fun, but she didn't really have fun, which is why. Okay.

So you just want to redo? No, that's a great word. I'd love a redo and I need some help you know convincing her to do that, but I kind of have a rule for Brooke Stop you right there, sir. I do not listen to rules Brooke. Just hear it. Just hear him out, okay? He's a big listener to our show now he deserves Heard you say this on the show that some of the guys like don't say Oh how much he loves spending time with you or he had such a great time with you like don't make me sound Simpish, you know He liked you do bro. I just mean like just make me sound

Like he's pretty indifferent yeah That's why he called a radio show. Yeah, and now we're talking. I mean, this is going to be the easiest second date we ever done if you talk like that to her when we get April on the phone. Seriously. God, I wouldn't go out with him. Does that help you?

I think you're leaning too much the other way now. God, that guy's the worst. Okay, now you're jumping off the deep end. We need to find the happy medium when we come back and reach out to April for your second date update. We'll do it right after this. Hold on. Second date update. We're in the middle of a second date update

and for maybe the first time ever, one of our listeners made a polite request of Brooke. Really? It was a- Brooke's madness is gonna be a thing now. I am not the one that ruins dates for people. Okay, you're screaming already and we're barely even into it. That was not a scream.

Well whatever it is, just hear this out. That is my disappointed voice. Okay. Alright, well even that it's coming off a little harsh because he has asked if Brooke can please, if we get this girl on the phone, not make him sound like a total simp. By simply just not saying that he likes her. Yeah, she's gonna regret.

He's gonna regret he didn't ask you to stop saying other things besides that. I feel like there's worse than that. Alexis, I don't need anyone to pile on right now. I'm just saying it's not that bad. Brooke, Noah, Noah is a regular listener to our show and he's noticed that sometimes your sales pitch can make the guy sound a little bit desperate

I'm laughing at Brooke, it is so funny I wish you could see her Well maybe the guy is a little bit desperate already because he's calling us See, this is not a good look right here Are we sure we want to make a call? He's an engine. No, I can do this. From what I could understand, Noah wants you to make him sound like he is just a regular

dude who's a little confused, just wants to know what's up, but hey, not a big deal either way. Noah, Noah, is that right? That's exactly on the nose right now. Okay. When it comes to chill, I am the chillest, okay? You don't want Brooke to make you sound cool I have Alexis up all the time look how cool people think she is okay well no we're gonna

try our best but I'm dialing April's number right now. Here we go. I'm dialing April's number right now. Here we go. I'm dialing April's number right now. Here we go. I'm dialing April's number right now. Here we go. I'm dialing April's number right now. Here we go. Hello? Hello? Hey, we're looking to speak with April.

This is April. Hey, April, thanks for picking up the phone. Yeah, that seems like a little much, Jeffrey. Oh, what? What? There's more than one of you. Hey, good morning, hi. We're... Not addressed what she just said. We're ready. What's happening? Oh, more of there's more than one of you. Yeah Do I know you I don't know if you know us we're a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning

I'd say hi April, but I don't know if I'm allowed To be myself you don't have how not to be myself. You're fine. What do I do with my hands? You don't have to say anything. Just take a breath. Hey, sup April. She said sup April. Oh god. I'm so confused.

So am I. Oh my god, I'm sorry. I love it. We do a segment on this show. It's called Second Date Update. Okay. Most people have that reaction when we tell them Second Date Update, but I don't know if you've heard of it I mean, I've seen it on tick-tock

Okay, it's not that big of a deal though. No, it's chill You can always like scroll up if you don't want to watch them I mean, I do usually scroll past them because I hate it too harder Okay, just go to the podcast and you can get all of it together brick. That sounds desperate It's problem-solving Alexis, okay You know podcast and all that stuff aside tick-tock whatever what we're more focused on is one of our listeners Who's been trying to get a hold of you? His name is Noah? Like the guy went on a date with recently

Yeah, yeah, Brooke, why don't you tell April about? No, it's cool. He's got a lot of options and Wondering why you're not calling him back. Here we go. Wait, hold on. You guys just called me to tell me that no I have other options. No He doesn't really care one way or the other I think he does, so he has He has a little bit of stake in the game Am I being pranked right now?

I can understand why you would think that but that's not what's happening We just want to know what your take was about your hangout with Noah the other day I mean, I thought it was bad. Oh, wait. Bad. Wait.

Hold on, was that Jade or he was bad? Wait, I think it was all bad. No, the question is, when did you start thinking it was bad? I mean, pretty much as soon as we got there because I guess he was trying to surprise me, but he, I mean, he told me he was gonna take me somewhere to sing because he like

looked at my profile and we had talked about like, I like to sing and I like used to perform and I don't anymore. So I thought it would be like karaoke or an open mic night or something. And he, we, it was a baseball game. He knows. I mean, we made it clear that he messed that up. I mean, honestly, I hate sports. Like I just, I will never be impressed by watching somebody throw or catch or hit a ball Like I couldn't care less. I need a plot if I'm gonna be watching people do something

I think we get it you didn't like his choice of date, and that's totally fine You're allowed to feel that way, but we were more wondering. What did you think about Noah like as a person? Yeah, did he attempt to help you understand the game? Or was it just fun to like chat with? Yeah. I mean, not really. A baseball game is kind of a bad situation for a first date because like you're not even facing each other.

And then I'm like, am I supposed to be talking to you? Or am I supposed to be watching the ball? Like what? Yeah, I have heard that from a lot of friends. I mean, I don't go to games, so I don't know what the vibe is. Gotcha. Okay. Look April, I know this is kind of a weird thing where we just blindside you and ask you all these questions so thank you for opening up to us. The one thing that you may or may not realize is Noah is also here on the other line listening to this conversation. Oh great. Oh she never listens to part two. That's right she only listens to part one on TikTok. This is actually the fun part April where Noah jumps in. Oh great

The fun part April where no it's not Now's your time to come in and act cool go ahead Noah. Hey April, no, how are you? I mean, weird, I guess. Sorry. It is weird. The date was weird. Everything's weird. It is weird now. Well, and listen, on that, on that note, let me just, this is something I've

been hoping to say to you. So I knew that singing was just something you love to do. And I was not trying to put pressure on you. I was trying to do the exact opposite by taking you somewhere to do something in your comfort zone and have fun. And I'm like, I'm glad though, that I was able to hear how you felt. Cause it helps put things in perspective for me. That was some emotional maturity right there.

Are you into emotional maturity, April? Um, sure. I just, I am confused about you saying you picked a place based on my interest in singing being the specific thing and choosing a baseball game. I understand and obviously looking back on it, it wasn't the smartest thing. I was trying to do something unique, something safe. So just real quick, what I'm hearing from April is she really wanted to sing on their date.

She had her heart set on it. Yeah. I mean, that's, you know how that can feel. Totally. So this is what I'd like to offer. And it's a hundred percent up to her, but in front of a nationwide audience listening all across the country, April. No pressure. April, seriously, no pressure. We would like to give you the chance to sing right now on our show. Finally get it out there

and show Noah what he missed out on. Again, totally angle. It's totally up to you. You can do it or not do it. But here's your shot. I mean, I wanted to sing last week and I didn't get you. So I, I mean, I guess. Better late than never. All right. Take me out to the ball game in three. Well, maybe a non-sports one for her. You sing whatever's in your heart.

Okay. Something's got a hold of me, lady. Okay. I don't know myself anymore. Wow. There you go. Oh, that's so good! I want to go to open mic with you. Amazing. Amazing.

Dude, that was sexy. That was hot. That was like eternal. That was hot, yeah. It helps that my sexy. That was hot. That was like a turn on. That was hot, yeah. It helps that my voice is a little scratchy today. It makes me sound better. Thank you for that song, yeah. You just did it on the fly. That's crazy impressive. Yay, you got even warmed up, guys.

So, April, I know this has been a lot, but we would like to send you out on another date. It could be like a karaoke date, or we could do something. Hold on a second, wait, hold on just a second. What? You're asking me out for him? Noah, get up, ask me yourself. Tell me you're taking me to karaoke

and I want sushi too. Oh, sushi. I like this girl. Oh my God. Okay. Get him. Noah, I guess you're up. April, will you please go out on another date with me and have some sushi have some fun and please sing as well

Please we'll do karaoke and we'll pay for it Thank you guys, thank you April and Brooke, thank. And I think you kind of came through for me there. Hey! Look at you Brooke! You did it! That was so hard for me. She didn't throw a guy underneath the table. Well done Brooke. No! I never throw them under the table. I want to tell them how much they are light. Your voice gets any higher. Yeah. I think it's great.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Alright, here's the good news. They said yes. Oh my god, I want an update from them. I mean, I'll be really cool about it. But I really want an update from them. You're like, I want an update or not. I thought they were so cute! They were.

It turned out to be actually a good match. The bad news though, and this isn't necessarily for me, but there are 15 more requests on the text board from guys wanting Brooke to do something better or improve in the second date updates. I knew we were going to open that game. Listen, I'm not listening to any of y'all, okay? I live by my own rules and I am myself. I can't help it. I can't be anybody else, Jeff. It's just who I am.

No one's asking you to be anybody else. Oh just a better version of you. There is no cool or chill inside this body. I say any feedback is good feedback right bro? They're invested in you and your success. All they want to see you do is be good. Block. Okay you can still try, doubt she'll listen, but keep your requests coming in to 7-8-5 seven eight five nine two if you want help with your dating life email the show We'll call that person who's not calling you back and go check out all of our second day podcasts wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey We're up on YouTube.
