Listen to The Daily Show Ears Edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Second Date Update. You know, recently I was on a dating app. Okay. Trying to find matches for Jose.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And honestly, it was really difficult. Not because of what Jose wants, you know, because he'll go out with pretty much anything. I'm just saying that as a single person, it's got to be hard because the app is filled with so many odd people. Yeah, mostly odd people. Like with photos wearing tons of makeup and filters or someone that's standing alone in a swamp holding a sign up that says still single. I don't know.

Is that supposed to be funny or is it meant to make me sad and make me feel bad enough to go out with you? I think it is a cry for help All I know is after that experience I really feel for listeners like Steve who emailed into the show today and said he was just happy that her profile seemed somewhat normal

Oh, you're not looking for a swamp girl to go with your swamp boy? No, not at all. Steve, you and me are single, so at least we know if it doesn't work out with this girl, we always have each other. Always. Brolo.

Wingman opportunity, maybe. Tell us about the woman that you matched with. What's her name? Her name's Jamie. Is there anything exceptional to say about her or was she just normal she seemed very normal super cute and you know i was raised on a farm so she didn't necessarily look like a country girl but she looked very sweet and innocent and so i kind of went with it she could still pick up a bale of hay i mean i'm assuming that that's on your list what do you do with a normal girl for a first date?

Well, the date that I kind of pitched to her that she kind of agreed to was, you know, let's just have a date on my family's farm. And, you know, I can show you what farm life is day to day. Wait a minute. Does that mean that she's like meeting your family on the first date? Not necessarily. I mean, it is the family farm, so we pretty much, it's just family that works there. But, you know, I just wanted her to experience

how I grew up and, you know, my just kind of day-to-day living. So are you still working on the farm too? Yeah, part-time. Okay. And I imagine

all the cute animals are also your family. You got a little piggy. Yeah, we had the whole nine yards. We got a cow, chicken, goat. I will get to Mr. Harvey in a little bit. Oh, Mr. Harvey. Who's that?

Yes. That is our goat. Okay. Oh, cute. This is an interesting choice for a first date. Like, what was her reaction when you pitched this idea to her? Well, she seemed kind of excited about it. I mean, she didn't voice any concerns.

I told her, I was like, you know, I'll get you some overalls and some boots. Picked her up early in the morning. We drove out to the countryside, you know, and went to the farm and she got dressed and got to work, you know? Okay. That sounds like work. Yeah. I got to stop you for a second. I grew up, you know, surrounded by farm life in a tiny little town. It's not glamorous. I mean, like to me, it sounds like you're shoveling manure. No, I did spare her the manure.

You know, we picked the eggs for breakfast and then we went out and we milked the cows. We did not use the milk for breakfast, but she was into it. She seemed kind of thrilled about it. You know, my family was off in the background. So you made it like an Instagram friendly event you could say that you did all the cute fun stuff you know like a photo area stage over by the mud box so i told her you know i was like if you want to feed the pigs it's super simple it's not really all that messy and she was down with it but mr harvey that's where mr harvey comes in because he kind of just roams the farm yes he's our pet goat

he's kind of like our guard dog. Instead of a blue chick hound, we have a big goat. A guard goat. Yeah, he's sometimes a little temperamental when it comes to meeting new people. He'll just nibble on them. That's normal. Brooke did the same thing to me on my first day on the show. She just came up and started tearing my clothes right off.

I've got to say. I'm part goat. I could get behind that. Did that scare her? Well, not at first. I mean, at first I think it did, but it wasn't until he kind of started getting a little aggressive with it. Cause I had turned my back for a minute and I turned back around and she was pretty much almost on all fours just getting chewed on.

You're describing Brooke to a T here. Getting flashbacks of my own life i mean i she did laugh about it uh so i just i took it as just one of those things i mean if you've ever tried to milk a goat you know how scary they can be i'm being serious you gotta put a small enclosed area that sounds like a mostly brooke experience in this room at least so i mean mean, how did the date end for you there? Well, we had lunch with my parents and everybody. I introduced her as my new friend. But everyone knows what that means. I wanted it to kind of seem normal, like not too serious,

like you're meeting my parents on the first date because we agreed to the farm date. Do you bring a lot of women out to the farm to meet everybody, or is this a new thing? No, honestly, this is a first-time thing. I thought it would be kind of cool to get out of the city. So the lunch went fine, and I told her, I said, next date you pick city, whatever you want to do, we'll do it. And she hasn't returned any of my texts.

Are you regretting the farm date idea since she isn't writing you back, or do you think it's something else? I'm beginning to think it might have been a bad idea yeah i disagree i think if she's a city girl you bring her to the farm it's like bringing someone to a zoo you do something you never get to see you don't have to wear overalls and work at the zoo but you don't have to work though he said you made it light and she just got to kind of hang around i think maybe mr harvey swooped in on your girl i think he stole it from you, but we're going to find out. We're going to call Jamie here in just a second and get your second date update right after this, all right?

Thank you. All right, hold on, man. You know, old McDonald may have had a farm, but old McStevo had a date. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like this one. And on his date, there was a Jamie. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With a farm chore here and a farm. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like this one. And on his date, there was a Jamie. Uh-huh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. With a farm chore here and a farm chore there. Here's my mom. Here's my dad. Here's a goat. That's bad. Oh, that was good.

No, that was horrible. That was good. I kind of liked it. But Steve did take Jamie to his family farm. And I think the overwhelming thought in studio right now is that Jamie probably didn't want to spend the whole time doing farm work.

I mean, it almost sounds like your family was using it as a ploy to get free labor. Yeah. I wouldn't say that. I thought she was having fun. Okay. Yeah, that's good. Okay. I'm still optimistic that she was having fun.

This is like a once in, you know, not lifetime, but it's like random thing. I mean, Jose, would you like to do that for a first date? Once in a lifetime opportunity? Only pet the animals. It sounds like you want to go to a petting zoo. Oh, that's what I want to do. Yeah, not a farm. Oh, and drink fresh milk.

It almost sounded like a heavy petting zoo in Jose's mind. I'm going to tell you, you do not want to drink fresh milk. Really? It makes me vomit every time. Yeah, I do want to go to a heavy pet zoo. Yeah, that sounds kind of fun. When they get back. But maybe we should start a business after this is over.

Dude, that's brilliant. But we have a job to do on the show, and that's to call Jamie and figure out why she's not calling Steve back. So, Steve, you ready to do this? Yeah, I'm ready. Let's do it. All right. Here we go. It's called Farmhand Jamie.

What? Farmhand. That's what people who work on a farmhand call it. Here we go. It's called Farmhand Jamie. What? Farmhand. That's what people who work on a farmhand call it. Oh, okay. She's like, Alexis, you have regular hands. Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this Jamie?

Yeah. Hey, Jamie, my name's Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Um, okay. We need some extra help around the radio station. And we heard you are excellent. I'm sorry, what is this about? Yeah, that was strange. This is about a segment that we're doing called the Second Date Update.

And we're trying to help one of our listeners named steve get back in touch with you after you went on a date with him oh god yeah that was a big old sigh there jamie was that a good sigh or a bad sigh it's not a great sigh i'll tell you that okay we've already spoken to steve about your first date with him and we've heard his of the story. We're interested in getting your side of the story to know what you thought about him and his family farm. Well, first of all, he didn't say his family farm. Oh, he didn't? No, he said, hey, do you want to go to the farm for brunch?

And I was like, oh, I love that place. You didn't know his family was going to be there. Wait, you love that place? Like the farm is in like some hip brunch spot. Yes, it's really hip. So I thought we were going to have brunch. We weren't going to an actual farm. Oh my God.

Oh, that's a lot different. Oh my God. He thought that you understood. He didn't think that you thought bottomless mimosas. It was not clear in our conversation. I don't know if it's my fault or his fault but as soon as we pull up to the farm his farm his parents are there opening the door like greeting me i'm like what is happening well to be fair nothing is more hipster than going to the actual

farm where the food is slaughtered i was not i was not against it, but I had a night the night before. I was a little hungover. I was expecting, you know, mimosas and avocado toast. I was not expecting to be feeling hay and milking cows. So wait a minute, though. Like, his parents open the door

and they hand you a set of coveralls. Like, why didn't you say something that you had no idea? Honestly, I was a little out of it. And I was like, you know what? Just get through this. It's going to be a story to tell. Plus, that would be really rude to just get out of the car.

And his parents are like, hey, nice to meet you. And she would be like, oh, I didn't want to be here. I shouldn't have to say that. She could say, oh, my God, I had no idea you meant a literal farm. Like, that doesn't look good in front of the parents either. No, but like, man, that's a lot of hours you spent with his family. It was a lot of hours. And I thought, you know, we got the eggs and the cows, whatever.

I thought, okay, we had a nice breakfast. I was like, yeah, all right, that's good. That was it. But it kept going on and on. And I was like, oh my gosh, how do I get out of this? I mean, okay, obviously it was a total shock. You didn't plan on any of it But was there any moments between you and him that were fun? There were some fun moments like he was trying really hard and I've been on a lot of days where that wasn't the case

We heard mr. Well, did you at least have fun with the goat, right? We heard Mr. Harvey really liked you. Yeah, you get to pet a goat. Yeah, he really liked me. And honestly, it started out like, oh, this is cute. And then it was like, oh, my God, I'm going to be eaten by a goat. Well, I know, like, not only did Mr. Harvey like you, but Steve really liked you.

And don't just take my word for it. Hear it from Steve himself. He's on the other line right now and wants to talk liked you. And don't just take my word for it. Hear it from Steve himself. He's on the other line right now and wants to talk to you. Oh, my gosh. You're joking, right? No, I'm serious. Hi, Jamie.

I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding. I assumed because the family farm and everything is on my profile that you just automatically knew that I'm at my farm I've never even heard of this brunch spot no I hi Steve um yeah you you know and just start talking you were like the farm the farm you never said my family's farm so I think we had just a little bit of miscommunication. Yeah, just a tad. Yeah. I apologize for that. I'm so just so used to calling it the farm, you know, honestly, hearing you talk about it, it doesn't seem like you had that good of a time as I thought you did. Well, you know, I was having as good of a time as I could being hung over and not expecting I was going to be in coveralls and like feeling, Hey, so your family is lovely. And I think you're lovely. We didn't have enough time to actually get

to know each other, but it was just unexpected. So Steve, like, how is this sitting with you hearing her reaction to what her expectations were going to the farm and then what it was actually like for her? Yeah. Jamieie it sounds like you really had a lot to complain about um you know and i'm just i'm typically not into complainers because you know i grew up on a farm so we just kind of sucked it up and pushed through it and dealt with it and got what needed to be done done yeah i was getting that same vibe when i was hearing her talk about it so jamie why don't you say the top three things that you enjoyed while you were there? Three? Why would you?

Oh, top five then. No! I'm not trying to fit into your family. This was like our first date. So, like, I'm complaining because there wasn't clear communication. Sorry about that. But relationships are built on clear communication. So.

Yeah. Do you understand that, Steve? Because it's like she's complaining you're acting as if she works on the farm and she's a bad employee is what it sounds like yeah um that's not what i'm trying to sound like to quote you there was some miscommunication and i do apologize about that um but that doesn't mean that we couldn't try something else because you did agree to possibly having a date in the city later on well you know i i did agree to that but after hearing you say that i was complaining about a situation that i think oh no so now you're gonna complain about the way that well that was if i could interrupt i, that was clear communication. I just communicated my feelings about the situation to you.

I think, honestly, you're not understanding in my shoes of what it would feel like to not be aware and prepared for the situation that I was in. It sounds like he's understanding. He's being a little defensive of his own family. It feels like he's getting attacked. It sounds like a classic example of a guy giving a woman exactly what she asked for and then getting blamed for giving him the exact thing.

That's not what I meant. He's apologizing. He's trying to communicate. He's saying clearly it was bad communication and then Jamie's like, no, you didn't do it the way I wanted to. Well, he did kind of attack her for complaining. And now he's getting it from the hosts of the show.

I just think everybody needs to take a deep breath. I think this could work. Starting with you would be great. Because I would like to send you two out on a nice second date where you have great communication. There's no farm work needed to be done. Brooke's still breathing over there. No parents. No parents.

No coveralls or whatever they're called. And I just connected that his name's Steve breathing over there hold on like no parents no mr harvey coveralls or whatever they're called and i just connected that his name's steve and his goat is mr harvey yeah look and there's not going to be any mr harvey on the date but there will be a little bit of nibbling going on are you going to send us to the farm no the brunch spot is what you mean here we go i mean i would be up for that because i knew nothing about this place and apparently she was super excited to go there and yeah there you go jamie take steve to the farm and make him feel super uncomfortable for a while because he doesn't know how it works well you know what the positive thing is that he did really go over and above and

there's very few dates that I have been on where someone actually cared enough. I mean, it was caring a little too much to me. The family's so fast. But I guess I'd be open to it. Okay. You're open to it, Steve. What do you say? Sounds great to me. And I apologize about my family.

Aww. They're lovely. It was just so fast. Yeah. See, this is cute. Against all odds, we got a successful second date. All right. Now let's agree on a safe word up front.

What do you want yours to be? What do you think they need a safe word for? I don't know how your guys' second dates work, but that's how it goes in my neighborhood. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
