We have someone on the phone for a second date update who's on the rise to stardom. She's hoping soon she can influence what you eat, what you drink, what you wear, and what you wipe with. Do we have the Charmin there on the phone right now?

No. I'm just saying earth-friendly toilet wipes are going to be the next big thing. I just switched to bamboo toilet paper myself. Did you? Yeah. That sounds beautiful. It's a little scratchy. Bamboo?

Yeah. There's a little bit of blood on there, but it's okay. Anyway, she's hoping to become an influencer someday, and she's also hoping that we can influence the guy who's not calling her back to give her another date. So let's say hello to Marianne. How are you doing? Hi, guys. How are you?

Good. So what does Jeffrey mean? Are you, like, trying to be, like, an Instagram influencer? What are you doing? I am. I'm really active on the gram. And I just really love kind of those people who have this aspiring lifestyle and just really bring joy and comfort and happiness to other people. That's kind of what I aspire to be.

You're not petty enough to be an influencer. That's nice. She doesn't care about your looks more. She is the live, laugh, love of Instagram. Sure. Is what she is. Well, Marianne, before we get into this, I just feel like I need to ask you, are you only doing this just to get more publicity for your page?

Oh, doing our show. Because I don't think it would be fair if you did that and were giving out your Instagram handle just because of that. I won't plug my Instagram handle. Okay. Also, Jeff, no offense. I don't know how much our show would help her out. That's a fair point, but let's get into your date, Marianne. Tell us about the guy that you met. What's his name? So his name is David. Okay.

David. Stop it. Hey, you be nice. Okay. I'm sorry. Did David slide into your DMs? How'd you meet him? He did slide into my DMs. So, you know, we're on Instagram, and he liked a handful of my pictures. And, you know, I kind of looked at his and liked one back. Okay. It's so funny how it's like a secret ritual when you're on Instagram. Like, you like a few of mine, I like one or two of yours, and then that's the opening to, like, DM me without saying anything. It's like a mating dance.

It is. And that way you know it's safe to write them because if they go back like a year and start liking all your old stuff, then you know. Then that's a little creepy weird, right? Okay. That's so funny. I didn't even know this. So what was David like online?

Well, I mean, he's got a decent amount of followers. Is that important? Does that matter how many followers he has? I think it does for her. It was the first thing that she mentioned about him. I'm sorry. I thought that's what you were asking about. What type of guy is he?

Is he an attractive guy? Yeah. He's good looking. It looks like he's fairly active and he likes to do things. She's like, oh my God, he's super ugly and lazy. I love it. What did you guys do on your date? So he actually asked me to go to Boba.

That's so trendy. And it's so Instagram friendly. Very gram worthy. Well, it's just a really fun, cheery place. But it's an opportunity for us just to kind of sit down and casually get to know each other without a lot of pretense. Okay. So did you treat it like it was a date or were you treating it more like a business meeting?

Oh, honestly, I have to say both because like similarly to me, and we found this out when we were talking before we met in person is that he wants to become an influencer as well. And he doesn't have as many followers as I do. But that was definitely something that we connected with. Okay okay so you could be like the Instagram power couple eventually right you know and it was kind of something we joked about but then it was like oh this would actually be fun and we were having a really good time so we were talking about you know like different things that we could do and different ideas we had like actually working on collaborations together yeah you know I mean it's when something is so close to your heart and you spend so much of your time and energy into it, it's just naturally going to come up in the conversation.

So it did that for the both of us. Wow. Okay. Hashtag relationship goals. So he was like talking about, you know, an idea to get more followers and he wants to buy an old school bus and retrofit it for a road trip i've never seen that done on i'm so glad you said that because that's kind of what i said i was like oh that's a cool idea but i've definitely seen that done on several different accounts before was he put off by that that you kind of like well i mean he gave me this kind of shocked

look like I had hurt his baby but then I was like how much are you really on Instagram because that's pretty common right now. So anyway we went on. The date went on. We walked around the park. We took some pictures you know as you would expect.

It ended with a little kiss on the cheek and we took selfies of it you took selfies of the kiss on the cheek i mean you kind of have to when it's the golden hour and the sun's setting it's like perfect edit him out if she looks good enough i feel like their first time hooking up she's like okay hold on let me grab my phone. I mean, I get that, but it feels so performance, right? It feels like a performance. It doesn't feel like a genuine moment between you two. Did you feel like it was?

Oh, absolutely. And I think it's probably because we had talked about different things we want to do. And we kind of laughed about it. I've been like, I don't know. How do you want to end this date? Should we take a selfie? And so we were, it was kind of this like fun flirty way to end things yeah well and i will give you credit like as an influencer whether it's youtube or tiktok

or anything you're used to having the camera out at all times like absolutely it's like how you look at the world so after the staged cheat kiss how do you how do you end the night? We just ended the night and I went back to my car, he went back to his car. And I had a great time, but I just haven't heard from him. The only thing I can think of is me kind of saying the bus wasn't the best idea because it had been done before. But it was such a minor thing. Did he get into a bus and drive away at the end of the day? Maybe that was... He's like, I'm already in it.

Never mind. As far as I know, he did not. Well, we have some investigating to do. We're going to play a song. We'll come back. We'll call David for you. It's David, by the way. Oh, excuse me. It's David. We'll call David, and then we'll try and get you

a second date update. Okay, Marianne? Okay, thank you. All right, excuse me. It's David. We'll call David, and then we'll try and get you your second date update. Okay, Marianne? Okay, thank you. All right, hold on. Second date update. If you're just joining us, we're talking to a possible future Instagram star right now. Her name's Marianne. She met a guy named David through the gram.

They went out to boba tea together, had a walk in the park, took some pics, but now he's not calling her back. And Marianne, I told you that we would not plug your Instagram on the show, but I never said we wouldn't plug our own. So Alexis's is

at Alexis underscore Fuller. Yes, it is. Jose is at Hilarious Jose. Mine is at It's Young Jeffrey, R-E-Y. And Brooke's, actually, I don't follow you, Brooke. Jose is at Hilarious Jose. Mine is at It's Young Jeffrey R-E-Y. And Brooke's actually, I don't follow you, Brooke. What is it? It's at Brooke Fox Fox. Two foxes in that one.

Because I married the guy and he already had the last name Fox. It all makes sense. You shouldn't have to describe your handle. If you want to see a lot of baby pictures and like dog pictures. No, I'm very funny sometimes too. Very funny sometimes. Yeah a lot of baby pictures and like dog pictures. No, I'm very funny sometimes too. Very funny sometimes.

Yeah, very funny baby pictures on there. Go check out at Brooke Fox Fox. Okay, and then, sorry, Marianne, you told us in the first part, you were worried that the reason David might not be calling you is because you made a comment about his idea about a school bus. What were you saying? He had this idea to buy like an old school bus and retrofit it which is something that's been done a lot before it's very trendy yeah and they just thought there was better ideas out there okay it does still sound fun though it sounds

like a lot of work just a photo yeah the other thing though marianne you guys had talked about collabing on stuff did you have projects like set up that you were going to work with him on? Because not only is he not calling you back for a date, he's not calling you back for that either. Right. And so some of my ideas, I'm a little hesitant to say because I don't want somebody to steal them. Right. Let's just say they're centered around travel. Okay.

Okay. So unique. Also some whimsy. I've never seen that. Don't be jealous because you haven't gone viral. Well, Alexis is definitely stealing that idea.

All right. So we're ready to call David. Are you feeling ready, Marianne? Yes. All right. Here we go. I'm going to dial his number. We're going to get you

a second date update. Here we go. Hello? Hey, I'm looking for David. Yeah, this is David. Hey, David, my name's Jeff. I work on a morning radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. How you doing, man? I'm all right. What's this about? This is about your future and what it might hold. That's true. What? What are you talking about? I'm talking about a date that you went on recently with one of our listeners.

Oh, okay. Who? Her name's Mary Ann. Okay. Why are you calling me about it? The reason that we're calling on her behalf is because we're doing something called a second date update right now. That's where if you go out with one of our listeners and afterwards, if you're not calling them back, they can reach out to us and we'll call for them to help them figure out the reason why. Okay.

This is a Boba Tea special. Because Marianne told us that you guys went out to boba tea on your date. I mean, yeah, we did. And, yeah, I just didn't feel like we were going to go out again. Oh, really? Oh, she felt different. Yeah, I mean, she said that you guys were even talking about, like, doing some collab stuff for Instagram because you're trying to be an influencer, too.

And did she get the wrong idea? Well, I mean, no. Like, the date was good, honestly. Cool. Hey, that's good. Yeah, like, yeah, we got along. And yeah, I thought it was going well. But I don't know, just something happened at the end that just totally, like, because

she, you know, a lot of times you, like, go out with some of these Instagram influencers and, like, they're kind of vapid and, like, full of themselves. And like full of themselves and like she really wasn't like that so like i was really interested okay so you're saying it happened at the end of the date she did tell us about a staged sunset kiss yeah is that what you're talking about no i do that all the time that doesn't bother me you always take every single sunset he kisses someone. I mean, you know, that's just kind of what we do. Like, everything is for the public, you know? Yeah, you're an influencer.

Okay. Okay, so what was it then? So, we're talking, like, we're spitballing ideas off each other and stuff. And then, like, she knows that, like, this is what I want to do. And so, she said that she knows somebody who, who like could hook me up with a blue checkmark for my account. Okay. I will say we all got one of those.

It feels good. I don't. But thanks for rubbing it in. Okay. She has some, she has an in with the Instagram people. Yeah. Which is like big time, you know? So that's cool.

I was like, awesome. You know, that'd be great. And blah, blah, blah. But like, she wouldn't tell me who it was like she didn't give me their contact it was like she like bragged that she knew somebody and seemed like she was being like oh and i could get this for you and then she didn't give me any information about it like it just seemed like super uncool okay i kind of understand maybe was going to follow up later or maybe, you know, like. She said, like, she's like, yeah, I don't know if I want it. Like, she totally got off the subject when I asked.

Completely ignored me. And then that's when the picture happened of, like, she kind of, like, tricked me into, like, drawing my attention away. Oh, okay. Well, maybe it's like a, maybe it's like a dating rule type thing where you have to wait for three dates until you have the blue checkmark talk. That is big to give someone on a first date.

It's also weird to not call someone back. You had an amazing date, and this girl has a hookup to a blue checkmark, and she hasn't given it to you, and so you're refusing to talk to her? I'm never going to talk to her. We texted a few times after this but like that was like a super selfish thing to do and like i'm just not into like that quality in a person it's weird thinking holding a blue check mark back is selfish like this the times have changed i've had a lot of relationship drama but not this issue i mean she can't inundate her one contact to instagram with

every dude she goes out with you know it took us all forever to get ours yeah yeah but like i'm not every dude we connected like it felt different i think you're actually connecting on more levels than you even realize david in fact you're connecting to her right now specifically her phone line because she's been listening this entire phone conversation. And she wants to talk to you. Oh, my God. Yeah. Hi, David. It's Marianne.

Hi. Yeah. You've been listening this whole time. Cool. Well, when you're like, we texted a few times back and forth. When I say, hi, how was your day? And your response is, hi. I don't know if that really counts.

Oh, I'm sorry. I don't have all the time in the world to like write you a freaking novel every time you text me. Like I was just trying to be nice. Okay. Well, I'm sorry. I was, you know, in regard to the blue checkmark, I wasn't intentionally dangling it in front of you like a carrot. I was just saying like, you know, things move forward. There's the possibility of this. And that was more, I think of the business side rather than the potential relationship side. So it seems kind of sucky that you made that

decision that like nothing's going to move forward because I didn't further your Instagram account. Kind of sounds like a bribe to me. Yeah. or almost a check mark tease that's kind of smart if it is though but i think she's right on like if you were in a business relationship with somebody you wouldn't on the first time you met them give them all of your secrets and goods you know i pretty sure brick slept with the guy to get us check i mean she's like talking about it like we didn't have this like long it's not like i walked up to her on the street was like yo hook me up with a blue check mark and like i have been at this for a long time like i've got over 25 000 followers and by the way unlike you they're all real people

like check what does that mean that hold on you're a fraud who are you talking to in this are you talking to one of us are you talking to? Are you talking to one of us or are you talking to Mary Ann? Brooke, did you buy our check marks? No, I'm talking to Mary Ann. Wait, hold on a second. You sat there and went through every one of my 50,000 followers to find out if they're real? I hate when people buy fake followers. I mean, it is really obvious when you have fake followers.

Because you get like 100 likes. Totally. And they're all Russian names. Mary Ann. With a lot of underscores. Are you saying it's not true or is he right i bought followers when i first started because i wanted to move things forward but it's not something that i have done in like two years dude i will say i have worked with people who have done the same thing okay and like put a lot of money into it because they think that

that's how they're gonna look important yeah see that's what i'm talking about the whole point is to be authentic on there to have a real authentic persona and you are just totally fake from the beginning totally if the bot brought other people in they don't have to stay following my account if they don't like it but they've managed to stay i mean i guess she's right you can i could argue either side but i think we're really getting away from the part of you guys had like some romantic connection i know i'm living for the grand drama don't we want a date like if you guys get past this can you put this in your past no i mean it's not only a no for me

but like now i'm seriously thinking about reporting her to instagram for having all these fake followers no bro oh don't get her account shut down after years of work that could happen will they do that if you have fake followers i think i think they did a purge like i gotta go report some people oh don't you get petty on us brooke you can go ahead and do whatever you want like i said before i already have ins with instagram oh that's right her friend works there oh that's what she has the hookup you're never getting a blue check mark david oh man i cannot wait to watch the reaction video on my own Instagram later. It's Young Jeffrey. Make sure you follow.

Only real followers. Thank you. That's why we're so cute. Yeah, because I'm the real deal. Your content. Hashtag Graham Life. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We're so done with New Year, New You.
