We've got a returning listener to the show. His name is Jeremy. And you may remember he was on a second date a while back that we called Order in the Court. Because Jeremy and his date were both into true crime. So for their outing together, they went to a courthouse and sat in on a live trial.

Which was not as exciting as they had hoped. What Jeremy's date didn't know is that he's actually been there before. Multiple times. And showed her all the different courtrooms that he's been in facing previous criminal charges. But to be fair, he was never convicted of any of them. And he's a totally reformed man now, learned his lesson to never, ever wind up back there. And now he's back once again on our show. Did learn his lesson here, Jeff.

Jer Bear, good to have you back on again. How you been? I've been well. You've been a free man, right, Jeremy? Sure, sure. Free man, yeah. I like that once you get out, now you're Jer Bear. Yeah.

So this time you did not go to the courthouse again. Where'd you take her out? Well, this time we went to a penitentiary that I'm mildly familiar with. Shut up. You're lying. That's a joke. Just kidding.

He's just kidding. Oh, Jer Bear. That was good. That was good. Who did you take out, Jeremy? Well, I didn't take out anyone. I met someone at like a Barbie-themed Halloween party. Oh, that's going to be so fun this party. Oh, it was cool.

Like everyone was dressed as someone from the Barbie universe. Yeah. I went in as athlete Ken. So I was in a red track suit and I'm a pretty fit dude. It's better than prison Ken. I mean, with the orange jumpsuit. You said athlete Ken? Athlete Ken.

Okay. Okay. I knew there'd be a lot of Kens But there was like Literally 30 Kens There Well it's not like Everyone's gonna dress As Alan

Okay I'm gonna show up As the pink jean Yeah Oh yeah Okay that would be A hard costume To get through a doorway

For sure Yeah How did you meet This Barbie Alright so the Party's pretty cool They got pink everything Pink punch Pink, pink M&M's. They have a pink Corvette, and they parked it outside so people could take pictures.

No way, a Corvette? That's dope. That is so cool. That's an expensive party. Oh, my God. Rich people. Is this like friends that are throwing this? Is that how you know these people?

I was invited by a mutual friend, but I'd never met this girl before. So they had this like barbie box like a fake one oh yeah where you can take all the pictures in those are cool i see those in the movie theaters right so there's this girl her name's jackie and she was dressed as sleepover barbie so she's in like silk pajamas oh that's cute so i just i don't know her at all she's inside the barbie box and then she shouted hey, I need a Ken to come take a picture with me. So like, I just jumped in and we did like this photo shoot. And then we started hitting it off.

You know, it's pretty close to the border. We're dancing. And because of all the pink punch, you know, got a little sloppy. But it was really easy to start, you know, just making out a little bit, you know. Wow. Making out a little sloppy, but it was really easy to start, you know, just making out a little bit, you know? Wow. Making out a little. I mean, a Barbie party is prime for that, right?

Oh, yeah. I thought Barbie doesn't kiss Ken. Barbie does whatever Barbie wants, Jeff. Yeah, and if she wants to kiss him on Halloween, she will. Yeah, Jeff. What else for Jeff? Barbie's world, Barbie's rules. That's right.

Barbie has a great day every day. Okay, you're hitting it off with jackie the sleepover barbie right and then we go and we sit in the pink corvette and we just like relax talk about life and it gets deep huh it's going really well and i'm trying really hard to not ask her for a sleepover even though she's dressed for it one of her friends, probably nosy Barbie, came out and said, oh, there you are. Come inside. And then she pulled

Jackie back into the party and just like left me hanging. Overprotective Barbie. So, I mean, did you go and take her back? You're fighting for her in the driveway. I would hope he just got her number or something, right?

I did get her number. Nice. Good. Oh, okay. You didn't go physically drag her back to the car. Well, Ken's got to fight for what he wants. Not physically, though. Well, maybe.

I don't know. Yeah. We didn't have to beat each other off. Yeah. That was it. It was kind of like a Cinderella kind of thing because I got her number and then I sent her some texts and told her how much fun it was, how I wanted to see her again. And nothing.

Really? Yeah. And it's like you didn't even overstep your bounds. Like you didn't say that, you know, like you didn't expect anything from her. You didn't even make the sleepover joke. Yeah. Good discipline there. And how long ago was this party?

Yeah, this was just last weekend. Okay. But it's like if you miss your momentum after a party meetup. Yeah, for sure. Exactly. But at the same time, I feel like Ken and Barbie, this is pretty much the most that they do in their relationship, right? They kiss. They kiss in the Corvette, and that's where it ends.

It's only because they don't have the parts to make it happen. They don't even have fingers to grab each other. Jeremy, you have the parts, right? I got the good parts. We're talking about the parts, aren't we? Let's try to make sure we put them to use when we do our second date. Let's not expect that.

I'd like to go on a real date with her and we don't have to wear costumes. In the real world, not Barbie universe. In the universe universe. Well, let's try and get you a real date here here When we come back, we'll call Jackie for you And try and get you hooked up with her Right after this Second Date Update

It's been all Barbie so far In the Second Date Update And I love it Because our listener Jeremy went to a Barbie themed Halloween party Where party where he met a girl named Jackie dressed as Sleepover Barbie. And they did a quick photo shoot together, drank some pink punched, kissed a little, and then had a heart-to-heart outside in the pink Corvette for a while. Oh, my God. It is seriously like out of the movie. The way you describe it.

It's basically Brooke and Alexis' dream night. It really is. For sure. Like out of the movie it's the way you describe it basically Brooke and Alexis's dream For me, I don't know the world as well as they do Yeah, it is interesting that there wasn't a real date out of this It was just more of like an hour-long sloppy Halloween makeout set. I mean, that's what happens at Halloween parties He did get the girls number and the thing is maybe that was just drunk Barbie giving out her number and not sleep over Barbie. It's hard on Halloween to meet somebody because it's like everybody's playing pretend. It doesn't feel real. You know, like maybe she didn't have the same hopes as you did for a future hangout.

Do we all agree cheating doesn't count on Halloween? No, it's so reset. Oh, that's how I read it. No, she just means like this guy could be just like a fun story. It's like, oh yeah, that one Halloween party. He's just a Ken. Yeah, he's just a Ken. Okay.

I'm just Ken. Do you feel like that could be the case, Jeremy, where maybe she didn't take it very seriously? I mean, now that you say it like that, that makes a lot of sense. Okay. I mean, it is a fun story. But you know what? Here's where we come in. We're going to convince her that there's more to the story, right?

I wouldn't call in if I didn't feel strongly about it. Yeah. There you go. We got your back. Spoken like a true Ken there. Here we go. I'm going to call Jackie. We'll see if she answers, and we'll get you your second date update here.

Let's do it. Oh, my God. I'm just Ken. It's now stuck in my head. Sorry. Here we go. Hello? Hey, we're looking for Jackie.

This is Jackie. Who is this? Hey, Jackie. We're a morning show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hey, Jackie. Hey. Wow.

Hi. Yeah, we're all here, man. Yeah, you're on the radio right now. Okay. See, that's pretty fun. That's one of the best reactions we've gotten from calling someone like this. Most people immediately hear our show and boo us.

We appreciate you, Jackie. Strange we don't even hang up on those people. We're desperate. Yeah, they answered. Wow. Okay. This is something. Yeah, they answered. Wow. Okay. This is something we do called the Second Date Update, and we're trying to help one of our listeners get in touch with you again after you guys hung out at a Barbie-themed Halloween party.

It's a guy named Jeremy. Oh. He was dressed as Athlete Ken. The red tracksuit. Yeah, that guy. You do remember. Yeah, he was cute, right? Yeah.

Uh-oh, your voice went down at the end there. What happened? Well, we met. Yeah, I feel like I'm covered yet. The thing is, we talked to Jeremy earlier, and he told us a lot about the night where you guys were dancing and you guys kissed and hung out in the pink Corvette for a while. He said you had a really great conversation about, you know, some pretty deep life stuff. We had a really good connection. Oh.

He felt the same way. I mean, you haven't returned any of his texts or calls or anything. Is there a reason? Well, you know, tracksuit Ken kind of turned into playboy

Ken. Oh. What does that mean? So I was talking to my girlfriend and we were talking about oh my god last night was so great and i'm like yeah i met like this tracksuit kin and he was so cute we were in the pink car bed and she's like when was this like in the car that oh my god i want to see what he looks like so he's like let's pull up the ring camera videos. Oh, my God. You're going to call a ring? Yeah. That's actually smart.

So, like, all of us got together, like, popcorn, Pop-Tarts. We're looking at this video. Okay. And we're like, oh, my God. He's, like, really cute. Oh, my God. You're breaking out. Like, this is so funny.

That's so funny. One of my things is creepy. Oh, God. You're going to second base. Oh, wow. It's her in the video. And it's dark. It's not like you can see, like, you know, everything in the ring camera.

He's a really great kisser, and it was well lit outside. Like, we had tons of lights and stuff. Okay. Okay. So we see my friend come out and, like, grab me, and we leave, and then we see this skipper. Who skipper skipper is barbie's little sister her little sister oh a girl at the party dressed as skipper yes okay yeah sorry like no thank you you have to make it clear for me i know all the girls understand instantly but get with it yeah

so i was i went back into the place was was talking to, like, my girlfriends, and Skipper was there. And I was like, oh, my God, he's so cute. Like, he's such a red kisser. So that same Skipper we see walk to the car vet and start talking to him. Okay, so now you're seeing on the ring camera your Ken talking to Skipper. Yeah. Okay. And she gets in the car.

Oh, no. And they're, like, talking and laughing, and all of a sudden she just scoots over, and they start making out. Oh, man. Girls are the worst. Yeah. No, I'm kidding. I mean, though, okay, I know it sucks that you saw it on a ring camera, but, like, it's a party.

I don't know. I've kissed two different people at one party before, you know? Right after your friend kissed them? But she's not friends with Skipper. I mean, the problem is I'm guessing that you didn't like seeing him kiss another girl when he said he was interested in you. I mean, yeah. Like, I was shocked. I gave him my phone number, and I thought that he was interested in you. I mean, yeah, like I, I was shocked. I just, I gave him my phone number and I thought that he was interested in me, but like, Hey,

I just got to say, I am very interested in you. And now it's, now it's interrupting Ken. Well, I got to set the record straight. Like, hold on. We have to let Jackie know that that is... What's his real name? Jeremy. God, there's so many names.

It's Jeremy who's been listening to this call. What? This is a really voyeuristic one. Like, he's listening in, she's watching the video. Yeah. They were watching her video? Yeah. Oh, man.

Oh, my God. Yeah, sorry. That's how these calls work. Look, it didn't mean anything. It was a big punch. It was stronger than I thought. What was in the punch? Not alcohol, it sounds like.

I think you should probably come in, Jeremy, with an apology. Like, I'm so sorry you saw that or something. Okay, like, again, yeah, I am sorry I didn't intend to hurt you, but, I mean, you kind of just, like, left me out there alone. Oh. You know? That's not a very good apology. What kind of apology is this?

I left you out there alone? What are you, a child? What are you, five? You just took off in the middle of something, right? So I'm sorry that Skipper took advantage. It sounds like you're getting mojo dojo casa house, Ken It sounds like you're getting Mojo Dojo Casa House, Ken, is what you're getting.

It was a good point, bro. Yeah, thank you. All I'm saying is that, like, Jackie, you shouldn't be mad at me. You should be mad at her. Oh! We focus our anger. I'm mad at both of you. Ken would mad at both of you.

Yeah. Ken would never do this to Barbie. Like, never. Well, that's not true. You are not in character, sir. Look, I just truly believe that you and I had a connection. Oh, God. Oh, no.

That's why I called the station and then called Skipper or whoever. Like, I'm interested in you. That is true. I love Barbie. Let's go party. All right. I'd stay away from parties right now, Ken. Those are what got you in trouble.

I mean. But he does have a point. And he just kissed her, Jackie. It's not like. Right. That's all that happened. Yeah. I get that.

But the camera does not lie. They were getting it in. He was caressing her neck, grabbing her hair. I understand that that's probably hard to unsee. And please stop describing it because you're getting Jose all kinds of excited over here, and it's creating an issue in the studio. It's been so long. The bottom line is, Jackie, that Jeremy has no interest in Skipper or whoever that girl is.

That was a total mistake. He would even admit that. And he would like to see you again one more time. We'd like to send you out one more time to the beach. Ken and Barbie. And we would pay for that date. I mean, but what if a Skipper shows up and he just, like, runs off into the sunset with Skipper? Uh-oh. It's the perfect test. The perfect test. Let's hope it happens. I mean, but what if a skipper shows up and he just like runs off into the sunset with skipper? Oh, no.

It's the perfect test. The perfect test. Let's hope it happens. That doesn't make sense. Look, she's not like your real sister or anything, right? So now I need to be aware of my own family members with you. Wait, what? That's a big joke.

We need an answer from you, Jackie. Yes or no? One date. Okay, as long as we're not drinking and you're sober and you know it's me and you're not kissing other people, then... I don't think he ever thought it wasn't you. It's a yes with a long list of stipulations. Congratulations, Jeremy. As a date should be.

Yay. Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. They said yes to a second date at the beach, which is probably a huge win for us because I don't think there's a beach gift card in our closet. There's not. So I don't think we technically have to give them anything. Yeah.

Oh, we could send them out to like a restaurant that does like island fair, you know? Oh, let's give him a gas gift card. Shell. Oh, I like that. There you go. Darn it, Jose. I guess we'll give something to that. But I honestly, I'm just nervously waiting until after the show ends today for an angry email from Skipper.

Who just wants to do an awkward Tuesday now to Barbie. I don't know. I think Skipper's moved on. If you know anything about Skipper, her love doesn't last long. Skipper's on to the next. She was with every Ken in that party. Good for you, Skipper.

Get it, Skipper. It's yours. I hope that doesn't happen. What I do hope happens is you email us if you ever want help getting another date because we'll call that person who isn't calling you back. It just makes me want to go watch the Barbie movie again. This whole thing.

I have to watch it now. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. 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 is 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
