That's a way to grow. Whether it's a new restaurant, a new haircut, or at Brooke's house, a new pair of ankle restraints. Hey.

Honey, these ones are electrified for your pleasure. Nice! Those ones are fun. And one of our listeners said she bonded with a guy about trying out something new for the first time. So let's learn a little bit about it. Holly, welcome to the show. Hi, guys.

How are you? Did you go with the extra padding like I did? Or the extra strength. I'm joking. That's a joke. I'm sorry. She knew a little bit too much about it. Yeah, that was supposed to be funny and you didn't laugh.

Oh, I'm laughing. Just when it was quiet inside. Okay, good. So tell us, what did you try new with this guy? What's his name, by the way? So his name is Justin. Okay. What did you and Justin try?

So we met on the apps. And while we were chatting, we were talking about pizza toppings. Okay. What did you and Justin try? So we met on the apps and while we were chatting, we were talking about pizza toppings. Oh. This is actually a really good combo. Really? I don't feel like it lasts that long. What do you like? I like everything. Oh, okay.

Okay. Well, I mean, it got me to a date, so I guess it's pretty good. Because you'd be like like some people like mushrooms. Okay. You go over each topic. Is that what you guys were doing, like comparing favorites? Yes.

So that's how we got into the Chinese things. His was sausage, which is a classic. Possibly a euphemism, too, but yeah. Gosh, I hope not. Okay. I warned him that mine was the one that was different. I have a weird topping. Uh-oh.

So my, I said it's Froot Loops. Froot Loops on pizza? Pizza with Froot Loops? Yes. Who was serving that to you? So it was something that I had as a kid, and I kind of just love it. It's like sweet and savory, you know? Oh, so you put it on your pizza as a kid, got acquired to the taste, and now it's like, yeah.

So you bring it to restaurants? Yeah, how put it on your pizza as a kid, got acquired to the taste. And now it's like, yeah, it's a restaurant. Yeah. How does it? OK, we're breaking down the fruit. This is why she brings the conversation up. Yeah, it isn't just a one and done. OK, so good point. This must be the new thing that he tried.

Yeah. God, you must be hot. Maybe it's really good, Brooke. I don't know. You gotta taste it right now in your head. Okay, so you guys did a tasting for your guys' meetup? Did you guys both have to eat each other's? Is that what, I'm assuming, you're like, you gotta eat the sausage and I'm gonna eat the

Froot Loop kind of vibe? I mean, I've had sausage on pizza. I think he was more curious about what I was talking about. Okay. Okay. Okay. So his was like minimal. Yours was a big deal.

I got to know his face. Run us through it. How did this go? Okay. So we met at a pizza place. It was late at night. I had to do like a work thing. It was like 930.

Oh, you're doing this in public. Oh, wow. Yeah. This is not. So we got a large pizza, but we brought it back to my place. We got it to go. That's the trick.

So you're not embarrassed in the middle of a pizza hunt. I'm not embarrassed by it. We needed to get the perfect fruit loop ratio. You got to put it on yourself. Yeah, I had to put it on myself. Was he nervous or was this fun for you guys? You're laughing through it all.

No, we were like laughing through it. We had a great time. I felt like we really bonded. He tried it and he said that he liked it, which I don't know if I fully believe, but he was sweet about it. Did he say it in between gagging? Yeah, with blood coming out of his mouth.

No, it's really not as bad as you think. Okay. All right, well, good. He liked your favorite. That must feel good. with blood coming out of his mouth? No, it's really not as bad as you think. Okay. All right. Well, good. He liked your favorite. That must feel good. Yeah.

I mean, I thought it went really great, and we had a fun conversation, but I did feel really bad because we had to cut things short, and I don't want to get into specifics at the moment, but he left probably around midnight, so I did feel bad that he had to leave. And he had to leave. That doesn't feel short to me.

It's midnight. If you're not going to stay the night if you aren't going there, then that seems fine. Why do you feel bad? We had talked about spending the night together previously. Oh. Promises were made and promises were kept. Oh, no. But that's a change of plans. Promises were made and promises

weren't kept. But that's okay. Things change. Life happens. He had some fruit loops. Maybe he followed his nose all the way home. I got it. Keep that in Ashley. That was a good joke. I like him and that's why

I am reaching out to you guys. I need your help here. That's what we're here for. He does sound fun. He's a guy who's ready to you guys like i need your help here okay that's what we're here for i mean he does sound fun like he's a guy who's ready to try new i mean he's willing absolutely if it's the reason that he had to go home instead of the stay the night and that's why he's not calling you back he's no way he sucks yeah exactly i don't like her pizza toppings right i mean what else do you think it could be? You didn't, like, stab him or anything, did you? No, I didn't do that. Okay.

She takes all of that question so seriously. Okay, we're going to come back. We're going to call Justin for you, and we're going to try and figure out why he's been avoiding you. Great. Thank you guys so much. I like her. Optimistic.

We're going to continue with your second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update. When a man really likes a woman, he will do anything for her. He'll go to Target with her on a football Sunday.

He'll snap 500 photos of her so she can get the perfect Insta post. Absolutely. I'd rather take good pictures. He will even lie about Fruit Loops tasting good on a pizza. Okay, now this is where we're talking. That's why our listener, Holly, cannot let this guy, Justin, slip away. Because he wasn't just willing to try her weird favorite pizza topping, Fruit Loops,

but actually swallow it and say, mmm. Yum. Did we get confirmation? He said yum? No, he said it's fine. Oh, that's whatever. He swallowed it. That's all that matters.

It's a good man right there. Sadly, their date ended a little bit early, so she needs our help. Brooke, how are you feeling about this? I just am still stuck on that pizza thing. I can't get over it. I can't get over the Froot Loops. I have like a million questions.

I want to try it. Like, is it just cheese that you add it to? Or do you buy a cheese with a vegetable and you add it on there? Holly, where's your head at? Well, are we talking about the Fruit Loops? I mean, it's hard not to. It's hard for me to concentrate on anything else. Yes, it's just on cheese.

It's not a bunch of other toppings. But Holly, you're right. We don't need to break down the fruit loops anymore. We really should concentrate on Justin and getting you back together with him for another date. Are you hopeful at least? I'm trying to be. Okay, well that's good.

Stay in that headspace. As hopeful as he was on that first bite. I'm feeling optimistic. I'm going to dial his number right now. We'll see if he answers on that first bite. I'm feeling optimistic. I'm going to dial his number right now. We'll see if he answers. Here we go. Hey, is this Justin?

Yeah, who's this? We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hey, Justin. Hey, good morning. Jeffrey in the morning. Hey, Justin. Hey, good morning. My name is Jeff. Okay, cool. Of Brooke and Jeffrey. You're supposed to be impressed or something.

Okay. It's fine. Just explain to him why we're calling Jeff. No, I know we're probably interrupting your day. What is this about? Yeah, we're doing a segment. It's called Second Date Update. But it could be food reviews

because I am really curious to hear how you really feel about one thing. Yeah. We'll get to that in a second. I think that's Brooke's priority. Yeah. We're all too excited, Brooke. We're all excited for that. But we're more excited to talk to you about a girl you went out with named Holly. Yeah. Who honestly sounds

lovely. Wait, what? Yeah, Holly listens. Holly? She listens to our show and told us about the date that you guys had where you went to the pizza place and tried the Froot Loot pizza. Yeah, back at her place. Yeah. And now you two haven't really connected since that night. Yeah. No. I mean, did she tell you that she asked me to spend the night?

What? Yeah. yeah no no i mean did she tell you that she asked me to spend the night what and it didn't well well she said i thought you guys i thought you guys discussed stay in the night it sounds like you're insulted by that yeah no no no no no i'm not insulted she asked me like it was like a whole thing early on like we were leading all up to that at least that's that's what i thought and then like okay i don't know man around midnight she gets this text or something like that her phone goes off and she says like i'm so sorry you're gonna hate me but i need to leave and you do too and i'm like what and she's like yeah something came up and she had to take care of it and i'm like okay i was like it's another guy okay so it's a booty call and i'm like why would you think it's a booty call honestly I'm like, why would you think it's a booty call? Honestly, he's probably thinking that because she's leaving at midnight.

Yeah. She already has a booty call there. I know that's true. But maybe that's why he thinks it's like, he thinks it's like a better guy that called. And she's like, Ooh, actually,

I'm upgrading. I mean, there are tears. Let's be real. There is. At least in his mind. So is that where your head was at, Justin?

100%. And that's not, no. Maybe some guys might want to be interested in that, but like not me. Why wouldn't you ask her? Why wouldn't you say, can you tell me? Because this is what I'm thinking. This is what is happening. I'm not going to like suggest to her on the spot that there might be another guy.

But like I asked her about it. Don't get me wrong. And she was like super cagey about it. Okay. So she wouldn't tell you the reason? But like I asked her about it. Don't get me wrong and she was like super cagey about it. Okay Is there's like a drunk roommate downtown that she has to go rescue There's no reason why she should keep that secret if it's something like that When you followed her out afterwards all the way to wherever she went learn anything from that? That's not a bad idea, though. Alexis, that is creepy. I mean, I bring a friend,

so I'm not alone. Oh, then it's okay. A midnight spy friend. It's dark. We walked down the stairs. We got in our separate cars. It was awkward. It was super awkward.

I didn't know what to say, and we parted our ways at that point. And she knew, because she said, you are going to hate me. Everyone needs to slow down on this

because she called us to get a hold of you. She literally said I like this guy. That's true. But she didn't tell us why. Maybe her main priority guy fell off

so this is like backup duty now. It would be embarrassing guys. In a three day period the guy fell off. Come on. I don't know. Let's ask her

because you don't know this Justin but she is on the other line right now waiting to talk to you. Oh, great. She heard everything. It is great. Hi, Justin. Hey, how you doing? She sounds guilty.

Did he catch you? No. Well, no. Kind of. Wait. What's a no-go moment? Did you actually go hook up with a different dude because a better one called you? Oh, my.

No, no. That's not what happened. I feel terrible because I left so abruptly, but it was not for another guy. Who was it for? It's an embarrassing reason, and it's going to sound ridiculous, but I left for a pair of pants. Okay, what's the real reason? That was a good practice. What does that mean?

I'm being honest. There's a shop. Okay, this is embarrassing. There's a shop near me called Planet of the Pants, and they were having an event where everyone lines up around midnight. No. To get these dance pants. And my friends... Dance pants?

And I have... My friends and I had these plans for like a week. Cute. And I totally forgot about it. I totally forgot about them. Oh, come on. Oh, it's so wholesome. I don't know if I believe it.

How could you not believe it? It's too elaborate for it to be a lie. But also, it's cute as heck. You know what you do for a nice pair of pants? That is way too embarrassing to tell a guy, hey, by the way, I got to cancel our hookup because I'm meeting my ladies for some dance pants. He would be insulted.

I get it now. Because if she says that, it would be like you're choosing pants over me. Well, he should understand fashion. Justin. Oh, come on. Justin, how does it feel that you got ditched for a pair of pants? Yeah, it's the weirdest thing.

I don't like being ditched for a pair of pants. What? Come on. Come on. I know. The girls can't comprehend that. But, like, look, if you're really telling me the truth, like, you've got to promise me that you're telling me the truth. Because I would forgive you if this is true.

I have the receipt from the night. Oh. You're going to led with that! And the pants, presumably. Then I don't believe you. Yeah, but how does she feel that he's still not believing her until she shows the receipt? Brooke, you know what it's like in the

dating world? You should be skeptical of everything the other person says. Come on, Brooke. You're dating so much. I'm not, but from this show I know that. Discount pants aside, let's not forget about the Froot Loops. You guys bonded over that. That's all I actually wanted to hear originally.

You never got your answers. Bro, did you like it? Did you like the Froot Loops pizza? Yeah, I actually did. I thought it was a perfect combination of sweet and salty. What? We have to try it now as a show. This is the only man for you.

Yeah. That's it. Justin, her entire relationship lies in your hands right now. If you want to go out with her one more time, we will pay for a date for the two of you. Dude, she'll wear the pants on the date. Oh, yeah, do that. That'd be funny, actually. Yeah, look at this.

All right, I'm actually really glad that you guys reached out because, like, I was just going to ignore you. Let's not end with that note. But Justin, officially, it's a yes from you then? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I mean, it wasn't a yes. It's really.

Yeah. Okay. Well, awesome. We're going to send you guys out on another date. Well, great. I'm so excited. Thanks, guys. Yeah. Glo're going to send you guys out on another date. Well, great. I'm so excited. Thanks, guys. Yay.

Brady, gloves don't go on sale anytime soon. No, send Alexis and I that link to the... Planet of the Pants. It's got a huge boost in sales. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You know, I think 99% of the time, women are going to choose clothes over men. Oh, yeah.

Just going back to the caveman days when the brute male would beat a saber-toothed tiger over the head with a club. And the cave lady is like, ooh, I want the skin to make a pamphlet blouse. You can keep all the meat. Oh, I want the paws for a clutch. I'm pretty sure that's how it went. I know. Yeah. Wow.

Very, very sure. I mean, the thing is, Justin and Holly sound like actually they might be a good match. I know. Similar sense of humor. They'd be really cute. He was just so jaded from the dating world. Well, he better be prepared because if there's like a midnight sale at Total Eclipse of the Scarf, you know that she's out.

Dude, that is a great name for a scarf store. I've never seen a scarf only store, but if there ever was one, it should be called that. Summer's got to be hard for that. Sales are real.
