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've got to 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 mini questions on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Seven questions, limitless answers. Still doing our countdown of the top 10 second date updates. And today, we may have two

potential celebrities on the phone. Two soon-to-be social media celebrities. Doesn't get any bigger than that. Or more annoying. They were obnoxious when they're just on social media. Oh, well, maybe that makes sense why we call this one Ew, David. It's our number three second date update. Enjoy. Second date update. Enjoy. Second date update.

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? 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?

It's a little scratchy. 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. Okay, so let's say hello to Marianne. How 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. She is the live, laugh, love of Instagram. 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'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. Jeffrey, hey. 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. Yeah. 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 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. 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. 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're asking about. I mean, what type of guy is he? Is he an attractive guy? Yeah. I mean, he's good looking and it looks like he's fairly active and he likes to do things. Okay. She's like, oh my God, he's super ugly and lazy. I love it.

What'd you guys do on your date? So he actually asked me to go to Boba. That's so trendy. Yeah. 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 like pretense. Okay.

So did you treat it like it was a date or were you treating it more like a business meeting? 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, 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. Oh, like actually working on collaborations together. Yeah. You know, I mean, 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. 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 Instagram. There's not a lot of accounts of fans that have done that. 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.

Oh, it did. We took selfies of it. You took selfies of the kiss on the cheek and we took selfies of it. Oh, 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? That 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 the state should we take a selfie and so we were it was kind of this like fun flirty way to end things yeah Yeah. 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 for food. It's like how you look at the world. So after the staged cheat kiss, 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 because maybe that was 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 gonna play a song we'll come back we'll call david for you 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 hold on 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. 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? Oh, come on. It's at brookfoxfox. Two foxes in that one. Yeah, because remember, because I married the guy, and he already had the last name Fox. It all makes sense. Okay, Brooke, you shouldn't have to describe your handle.

It's my maiden name. 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, 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 I just thought there was better ideas out there. Okay. It does still sound fun though. It sounds like a lot of work. It does. 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

don't be jealous because you haven't gone viral alexis is definitely stealing that idea all right so we're ready to call david are you feeling ready marianne yeah all right here we go i'm gonna dial his number we're gonna get you a second date update 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. OK. 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 uh feel like we were going to go out again so 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 uh did she get the wrong idea well no i mean no like the date was good honestly 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 like they're kind of vapid 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 stage sunset kiss yeah is that what you're talking about no i do that all the time that doesn't bother 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, like, could hook me up with a blue check mark for my account okay i will say we all got one of those it feels good i don't sorry 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 yeah it is that's cool i was like awesome you know that'd be great and 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 she was gonna follow up later or maybe you know 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 okay well maybe it's like a maybe it's like a dating rule type thing where you have to wait for three dates so you have the blue check mark talk that is big to give someone on a first date yeah it's also weird to not call someone back you had an amazing date and this girl has a hook up to a blue check mark and she hasn't given it to you and so you're refusing to talk to her i'm not like they're never gonna 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 checkmark back is selfish. Like, 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, 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. Yeah, he's right.

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. Uh-oh. It's Marianne. Hi. Yeah. phone conversation and she wants to talk to oh my god yeah hi david it's marianne hi yeah are you 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 oh i'm sorry i don't have all the time in the world to like write you a fricking 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 check mark, 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 gonna move forward because i didn't further your

instagram account it kind of sounds like a bribe to me what yeah or or almost a check mark tease it's kind of smart if it is though 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 don't know. I'm pretty sure Brooke slept with the guy to get us checkmarked. I did not. 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 and was like, yo, hook me up with a blue checkmark. And, like, I have been at this, like, long. It's not like I walked up to her on the street and was like, yo, hook me up with a blue checkmark. 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. I check. What does that mean? That hurts. Hold on.

You're a fraud? Who are you talking to in this? Are you talking to one of us or are you talking to Mary Ann? Brooke, did you buy our checkmarks? 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. Marianne. 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 going to 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'm kind of interested in this part. I know. I'm living for the grand drama. Come on. Eddie, this is Eddie. Don't we want to date?

Like, can you guys get past this? Can you put this in your past? Yes, Brooke. 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 bro 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 a real deal. Because your content sucks.

Hashtag Graham life. No, no. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Ugh, we're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them.

More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you. Someone else will too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.
