Second Date Update Normally, I have like a fun, silly intro prepared for these Second Date Updates. But before we came in studio, I ran into an old friend in the bathroom. In the bathroom?

That's awkward. I lost track of time. Uh-oh. So I'm going to be honest. I know nothing about who's on the phone, what happened on their date, or where my pants are. Wow. I was curious.

A lot of questions, but we're going to get answers with whoever's on the line right now. Let's talk to them. Hello. Who are you? Hey, my name's Eddie. How are you guys? Eddie. Oh, hey, Eddie. Do you know where Jeff's eddie how are you guys eddie oh hey do you know

where jeff's pants are yes bathroom probably why did you think of that yeah all right well i'm really glad that we have you eddie you obviously know what's going on tell us about the girl you want us to call today or the guy i don't know what's their name uh her name is jessica okay okay and where'd you meet so we met online you know like most people we met online and like immediately i thought i'm like oh my god this girl is gorgeous i loved her sense of style she had really nice lips like celebrity looking lips like it was everything about her was, like, perfect. Okay. Ooh, nice. I mean, at that point, did you think she must not be real?

Yeah. No, not really, because, like, the conversation was flowing, and, like, I don't know, everything seemed legit about her. Okay. That's good. You mentioned celebrity.

What celebrity would you compare her to? It was, like, Jessica Alba lips on, like, a regular-looking person, though. Oh, okay. All right. Okay. What did you and Jessica end up doing for your date? So I just recently, I was going to a fire training academy, like to be a firefighter. Oh, cool.

That's awesome. Did you pass? You went through fire academy for a date? No, no, no, no, no. This was all prior. Yes. Yes, I did pass. Nice.

And like they have a cool like dinner like ceremony to like celebrate us passing and graduating and all that stuff so i just invited her to come with me it was like a cool like bankroll hall type thing that's a that's kind of a big pressure moment it wasn't my first choice but like just because our schedules were so busy that happened to be the only time it was we were free and i just her about it, and she seemed, like, excited. Okay. I mean, that's good. It's definitely going to be a good look on you.

Yeah. Because she's showing up. You're a firefighter. You're going to be saving lives soon. You're wearing that, like, really sharp firefighter outfit. I know. Seriously. Like, the formal firefighter look is hot.

Not the one with all the gear, but just that dark suit that they wear at the graduations. It's a good look, Eddie. Wow, it sounds like you know a lot about firefighters and what they wear. Oh, yeah. I have a weekly visitation with the firefighting station. I'm jealous. Yeah. For real. Sorry, let's get back to you and Jessica. Was there any

awkward times during the night? No, it wasn't. Not awkward at all. We didn't even tell anyone it was our first date because I just told everyone, like, I'm bringing, like, a friend of mine that I've been talking to. And, like, everyone liked her. Like, she was cracking jokes at the table. Everyone was laughing.

We ended up dancing together. It was, like, a genuine, like, really, really good time. And I got to say, smart move on not telling people that because then there's so much pressure and everybody wants to get in on your business oh look at eddie's on a first date like you know like that was really good move on your part yeah but the thing that was weird so after everything was said and done like she told me she had to go and i was like hey i can drop you off i've only had like one drink i'm fine i can just drop you off and she was like no i'm just gonna take an

uber it's easier blah blah blah so then she ended up just like ubering home like we said goodbye and i i was like i'd love to see you again she's like yeah definitely etc and then after she ubered home i was like i just haven't heard from her since like i texted her this morning and i was like hey last night was really fun i hope you had had fun, blah, blah, blah, blah. And it's just been like radio silence ever since. Oh, wow. Oh, that's tough. Yeah, I mean, I could see where she would leave just because she wants to give you some time with your buddies

or whatever to celebrate, but she wouldn't call you. I would never pay for an Uber if I had a ride option. What do you think? I don't know. I can't think of anything that would have, I thought everything went really well. I've known Brooke said that maybe this was a good idea, but having a firefighter day, bringing your date around all of these hot, hunky firefighters. I mean, maybe it wasn't such a good idea.

Maybe somebody swooped in on her. I don't know. I mean, I hope not, but that's what you guys are here for. God, that'd be so low. I mean, at your actual graduation for becoming a firefighter and somebody steals your girl. He's like, I brought Jessica Alba's lips here, and you guys did this to me? Yeah, man, and I didn't even get to kiss those lips either. Oh, that's cold.

Oh, man. Well, let's see if we can actually get that to happen. We're going to play a song. We'll come back. We'll call Jessica for you, and we'll try and get you a second date update. Okay, Eddie? Awesome. Thanks, guys. Second date update.

You know, it's nice to have a real-life hero on the second date update. Oh, yeah, we do. Who wakes up every morning and selflessly goes out and makes a difference in his community and in people's lives.

Oh, that's so nice. But enough about yours truly. Okay. Let's talk to our friend Eddie. Get out of here. When you look at important jobs, you know, his is far behind a radio DJ, but it still plays a pretty important role in our community because Eddie just graduated from Fire Academy and is now a firefighter.

Eddie, I salute you. Yeah. Thanks, man. Little known fact, the emergency call radio station is 9-1-0. Before 9-1-1. Oh, I see. We were 9-10. That's how important it was. People call us in emergencies. Quick, I need a second update. Hurry! Sorry, we're only

giving emergencies to caller number 27. Try again next time. Tough luck. Anyway. Eddie, are you nervous right now for this call? Yeah, kind of. I'm excited, definitely. I want to know what happened.

What's your thought? What's your best guess? Maybe she met somebody else and didn't want to tell me. That's the only thing I can think of. I think we all agree. Like we said, you're in a room full of hot firefighters. Yeah, you can't just pick one. It's like moths to a flame.

Yeah, I just would have had ten of them carry her out. Help! Which ones taking me home, boys? Well, let's find out for sure. We're going to call Jessica for you. We're going to try and get you your second date update. You ready, man? Yeah, man.

All right, here we go. I'm dialing your number right now. Hello? Hi, is this Jessica? Yeah. Hi, Jessica. Hi, Jessica. My name's Jeff from the radio show

Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Okay. Why are you guys calling me? Well, we're doing a segment from our show. It's called a Second Date Update. That's where if you go out with someone and afterwards if that person isn't calling you back, you can email us and we'll reach out to them for you

to help you figure out the reason why. Sounds like a pretty fun segment, huh? I don't know you huh? I don't know you, so I don't really know what this is about, but it sounds like you're having fun with it. Well, we're trying to have fun. We'd like you to have fun with us, too. No pressure. We're chill. We're hella chill.

But we're calling on behalf of one of our listeners named Eddie. Oh, no. You remember Eddie? Yeah, he's hard to forget. Oh, he's hard to forget. Oh, he's hard to forget. Yeah, because he's a sexy firefighter. Yeah, yeah. Exactly.

Is that what you meant? Yeah, sure, that's what I meant. I don't believe you. It's not very cool. For some reason. Yeah, sure, whatever. Yeah. Exactly.

He sounded lovely when we talked to him. And he was into you. You know, firefighters have to pass some physical tests, so he has to be somewhat hot and in shape. And able to carry things. Good with a hose. Okay, Jess. Okay. No, Jessica, you're not on board with any of this.

That's okay. I don't really, you know, he isn't someone that I ever want to see again. Whoa. Yeah, I don't know what your relationship is to him, but. He's my dad. Okay. He's not, but... He's my dad, okay? He's not, Jeff. He's your daddy, maybe. Honestly, did he do something to offend you? Because he has no idea.

Sounds like he insulted you or something. Yeah, Eddie emailed and he told us all about your date, that you went to his Fire Academy graduation and he was trying to be as respectful as possible with you the entire time and said that, according to to him it went pretty well. That's not the case? No, not at all. I don't know what he told you, what he's trying to get from you,

but our date was all on me. He said he was taking me out and we were having dinner. He got up, exited politely for a moment, then motioned for me to come over while I was eating and asked if I could put my credit card down to pay for a $200 motioned for me to come over while i was eating and asked if i could put my credit card down to pay for a 200 meal whoa wait i thought are we talking about the same date because you guys were at like a banquet thing for this absolutely we were at a banquet okay and you can graduate and pay 200 per plate and somehow I didn't know any of this.

This makes sense. I've hosted a firefighter's ball before and the tickets are like super expensive to go. Oh, I didn't know. Yeah, and they're always really fancy affairs. That's why they put on the nice dress. Yes. How come we weren't invited to that?

I'm sorry, Jeff. I'm sorry, Jeff. Alexis is like really mad at you right now. I did it for years. Jeff and I are not going to get over this. It's weird. Once I got married, they didn't ask me to host anymore. I don't, Jeff. Yeah, Lex is like really mad at you right now. I did it for years. Jeff and I are not going to get over this. It's weird. Once I got married, they didn't ask me to host anymore. I don't know why.

I just put that together. So, Jessica, you're saying that he didn't pay for the meals. He made you pay for it? Yeah, he said he forgot his credit card. Oh, sure. He said he forgot his credit card? Firefighters make good money from what I know, too. He just graduated, honey.

He's not working yet. He's like a fire intern. It's like a struggling college student. And so you think he did that on purpose? He purposely didn't want to pay? A thousand percent. You don't go to a banquet and bring a date empty-handed.

And you don't ask your date to pay. You ask another firefighter. Exactly. You get a friend to do it. Ask a homie. I mean, I would be kind of upset about that, too. Oh, I kind of agree with you. Yeah. I'm just shocked that he actually contacted you guys.

I'm really disgusted. Well, it's interesting because he never mentioned anything about that when we spoke to him. Totally. So maybe we should just ask him directly because, Jessica, Eddie's been on the other line listening this entire time. He wants to talk to you. What are you talking about? He's on the phone. Yeah.

Are you serious? Yeah. Eddie, you there? It's not funny. Oh, hi. That's it, Hedy? Yeah, exactly. Like junior high school.

Listen, I didn't have the money on my card. I just got done paying for, like, my school and everything. But, like, if you want to set up, like, a payment plan, like. Whoa. Why did you invite her to that then? Just go take her to coffee. Bro, and you can skip it. Why'd you even go?

I mean, it's your thing. It's your banquet. I mean, I thought it would be a memorable, fun night. And she looked, like, just based on the profile pictures, like, based on, like, all the clothes that she's wearing. Like, she looked like she was doing well. Like, it'd be like a drop in the bucket to her. So, wait, you knew that you couldn't afford before you went to this banquet? Oh, no.

I mean, I figured that she would just cover it. And, like, I didn't know it was a big deal but i'll definitely pay her back oh man jessica what do you think about that a payment plan no honestly i just can't believe i didn't see the signs prior to this and i think you're disgusting i think you should probably go to etiquette school oh okay well i'm sorry if i'm offending you jessica like i'm just trying to connect a love relationship. She's talking about to Eddie, Jeffrey. Oh, yeah.

Okay, I didn't get that. I would call him disgusting. I would just call him cheap. He's just cheap. Yeah, and he's not going to be able to go to etiquette school. He's already maxed out his credit card paying for fire school, so you're just going to put him even further in debt now. Yeah, I'm maxed out.

To be fair, a lot of women do this to men on dates, like myself, just saying. But we expect it. It's not good either way. If I ask a girl out, I'm paying for everything. Let's take money out of the equation, though. Aside from the payment, were you having a good time with Eddie? Yeah, I had a good time until he got up and went over to his friend and started getting chummy with him and then turned towards me and points at me,

waves his finger to have me come towards him. I was like, something's up here. Like he wants you to meet his friends? Oh. Is this when he was asking for the credit card? Yeah, it was like I was sitting at that table with food in front of me. A lot of people were looking at me. I did look good.

And I had to go over there. So the pressure was on. So you felt like you couldn't have told them no. I mean, or you two would have been washing dishes to pay for your meals. I really don't see what the big deal is. Because I don't know if you guys know this, but all the money goes to the fire department, so it's like a donation. Yeah. Oh,

but still. Like, if you don't think it's worth donating to... Oh, it's on her now! How did you just twist this? And Eddie, why wouldn't you tell her beforehand? I mean, maybe, I mean, Jessica, if you had known, would you have agreed to go like if eddie

would have said hey no okay but now that he's called you heartless and cheap now are you rethinking things never again okay see i don't know if that's true jessica that's why i would love to offer to send you and eddie out on another date and this time we'll pay for it yes we'll put the entire bill on us not a banquet bill just a regular hopefully under 50 dollar bill yeah like an all-country buffet banquet there you go what do you think jessica absolutely not did she did not have fun at all yeah i thought she was from the beginning to end eddie you really read that night wrong. Okay, well, can I get the money just to go on another date then? Oh, my gosh. Men are always missing some quality to them.

You can't have everything. You can't. You either get rich and ugly or hot and broke. I don't know. I think, Eddie, if you really do want money, you bring that firefighter outfit over to the studio. You give Brooke a little bit of a dance, and it's going to be raining ones all over you. Mama going to make it rain. Okay, never mind. It's getting weird now.

I don't think I can play fire school in all ones. Ah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Isn't there some sort of like heroes discount that should apply whenever heroes are paying for stuff? Nope. Sorry. Really?

No. You think after Superman gets done saving Metropolis from evil space warriors for the 17 millionth time, that Lois Lane is still getting all moody like, and then he made me pay for my Cobb salad. What a jerk. I just saved you in midair. This woman went on a date with Superman right after Superman got out of school. There was no saving anything at that point. He was like Superboy.

Well, see, you want to get in early before he becomes rich. And then all the other women are going to try to be on him. No, I don't think so. That guy was a jerk. He didn't even apologize for it. He told her she was cheap. He said he had a plan to pay her back very slowly over a long period of time. She should have applied interest.

Exactly. She could have profited from this relationship. That's a good point. No, we weren't very good at what we do, so no second date for Eddie and Jessica today. A lot of animosity there, though. Yeah. But remember, if you want to get a second date update, you can email the show and we'll call the person who isn't calling you back. 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.
