what hobbies could somebody put on their profile that would make you go, oh, damn, that's hot. I want to get to know them. Cooking's pretty nice. They can make me some meals. Cooking, okay. What about like a professional puppy trainer? I didn't even think about that. Or what if he houses puppies inside of miniature windmills So technically It's a puppy mill

But it's cute because he's raising them Inside of the tiny mill I'd like but I would ask some follow up questions Okay that's smart Because I bring it up since one of our listeners Apparently met someone on the dating apps With an interesting hobby That piqued his interest

Let's talk to Corey about it Corey welcome to the show. Hey, how you doing? Was it an above-board puppy mill like Jeff's talking about? That's a fair question. No, no, but it was equally as interesting. No, she was a speed puzzler. A what?

Speed puzzler? Yeah, like a speed puzzler. I've heard of this. Oh, my God. I actually saw an Instagram reel about this recently. Where people put jigsaw puzzles together as fast as they can? Yeah, it's like a big competition that they have where there's like eight tables of teams all in one room and then they like dump all the pieces out at once.

Whichever team solves it first wins. Okay, could I be the one person in the room that just sticks one piece in your pocket? So your own team loses? Your team would lose. I don team your team would lose just be worth it though the corner for that scrambling moment see who turns on each other did i describe that right is that what you were talking about yeah for sure i mean like we were just messaging back and forth on a on a dating act and i was like this is weird and she told me all about it yeah like three to four people get together and like a dj. It's like a bingo hall, you know?

Oh, really? A DJ? Dude, that's pretty cool. And like, and it's like a thing. Yeah. They throw it all down. Everybody is on the clock and you got to put it together. And you like pay money to like do this.

Oh, okay. It's a competition. So there's like a pot that you can win at the end. Is that how it works? And then you split it with your team. Yeah. Oh, dang. So you probably were.

I was going to say at first, I thought this would be like an easy activity to be like, oh, we should do it together, but this is too competitive. This is not the most romantic experience. Oh, she probably wouldn't let you do it. Right. Right. So what did you do for a date? Did you end up going out with her?

Yeah, I mean, we just totally clicked. We just decided to do like a coffee date. You know, quick little 30-minute thing is what we were planning on doing. Quick little 30 minutes. You start a timer? Yeah. First question. How was it?

I thought it went fine. It was all right. I mean, like, we met up in line. We should get her name, too, because that's an important piece of this puzzle. Her name is Erin. Erin, okay. It was interesting how you just said, I thought it was fine. It was all right. Like, okay. It was interesting how you just said, I thought it was fine. It was all right.

Like your tone went down. It started off well, but it got weird. Like, so we met up in line. I like asked what she wanted. And like, I did the coffee order and like she sat down and, and I mean, like I sat down for a little bit. My name was called. So I went up to go get our coffees.

And as I was like walking back to the table, I realized that on the coffee cup, there was a different one named Devin and a phone number. Wait, what? I'm confused. You grabbed somebody else's coffee? That's what I was thinking. And so like I went back to the coffee counter and I said, hey, like, yeah, I think I got the wrong coffee. It's a different name. And so the guy that was there said, that's the right one oh he was trying to give his number to her

yeah i don't know like i didn't ask that so i went back to the table and i sat down and i was like is somebody trying to ask you out and in my head i was like trying to process it because i i didn't i didn't want to do nothing about it. That's weird. Who would do that? You're obviously on a date. You can tell when there's two people at a coffee shop who are on a first date. How can you tell? I don't know. It's just like the awkwardness. You're looking for the awkward people

because they don't get along? You probably hear their small talk like, so how was your day? Okay, so you were giving off first date vibes with Aaron in line and I guess another guy saw that and thought he could swoop in. So, like, I went back to the counter and I was like, I said it, like, really loudly. And I was like, who's Devin? Like, I'm on a date.

Who did this? So, hold on. Oh, wait, you're saying that? You confronted the baristas in front of Aaron? In front of the whole, like, coffee establishment? I wonder it got weird. And I admit, like, it got weird and i admit like it got awkward and so she ended up coming on over and she was like what are you doing calm down

and i like we went back to the table like nobody answered me devon never came forward devon never came forward devon was scared and so like yeah it got awkward after that i went back to the table we hung out for like 20 minutes 20 more wait that was only 10 minutes into the date that happened holy heck yeah so look she's great i made it awkward i want to redo we never even talked about puzzles yeah let's just do the whole thing off it would just send up so many red flags that you're like a crazy jealous type even though it's an inappropriate move for devon to make, whoever the hell Devin is. Or could have been seen as like a chivalrous move, standing up for your date. Yeah.

I was going to say, I mean, but it's not your place yet. Yeah. It's definitely how we should spin it when we call Aaron. There you go. And say he was standing up for you and standing up for the date. Or maybe we should just spin it as like he's embarrassed. He wants a redo. Yeah, that's kind of what I was hoping.

I just want to apologize. And I just want to be like, can we just try it again? Yeah. Okay. So you haven't apologized yet? No, no, no. Like, I have, but she hasn't texted back. Oh.

Alexis, if you were on that date, would you give him another chance? Um, I mean, for the case of this segment, yeah. Totally. Don't stop another guy from hitting on me. Well, because I hope I'm going to get hit on a lot more times in public. So, like, I don't want that to happen every time, you know? Well, I was hoping for a stronger answer from you there. I said yeah, probably.

I said for the segment. We'll hope for a yeah, probably, when we call Aaron and try and get you a second date update right after this, all right? Great, thanks. All right, man, hold on. Second date update. Nothing worse than getting hit with some FDSA, first date swoop action, where somebody else tries to hit on your date while you're currently with them. But that's what happened to one of our listeners, Corey, who took a woman named Erin out to coffee.

And while they were there, one of the baristas wrote their phone number onto Erin's cup. And then Corey had to deliver it to her. So just insult to injury right there. And in processing what to do, Corey thought the best move was to just go up and confront the barista in front of everybody. Oh, my God. So loudly and so awkwardly. Now he's not going to get a call back, which maybe means that wasn't the best move. Oh, man.

Her name's not Devin. So here's Devin. The good news is just like the coffees that Alexis used to serve at her barista job, you can always ask for a redo. And that's what we're doing today. No. If something was wrong, it wasn't my fault in them, Jeff. It's never her fault. The machine must be broken.

Well, it wasn't Corey's fault that happened on his date. It was the confrontation that turned everything sour. That was his fault. I think Corey can be forgiven for being put into a rough spot. Oh, I don't. I think he knows he did bad. Yeah, I definitely overacted. But we're just speculating.

So we're going to find out once and for all when we call Erin how she felt about it. Because maybe she felt like it was a very heroic move. I feel like it's a big mystery to Jeff still. I think he's just trying to defend our man. I am. I'm on Corey's side. He's always trying to defend our man. I am. I'm on Corey's side. He's always trying to defend our listeners. It's hard to do this job sometimes over here trying to be the hero, the white knight of the listeners on the phone.

I appreciate you, Jeff. I appreciate you, Corey. You just need Aaron to appreciate you, too. So let's call her and force her to appreciate you. Let's do it. Of course. Here we go. Hello?

Hey, we're looking for Erin. This is she. Erin, you made a big mistake. Oh my gosh, Jeff, do not start like that. Hi, Erin. I'm sorry. A little miffed. No, you made the right choice is what she did. Yeah, well, I don't know like that. Hi, Aaron. Hi, Aaron. We're a little miffed. No, you made the right choice is what she did. Yeah, well, I don't know about that.

Well, you know, we'll fix it. Yeah, sorry. I know. This is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We're a whole show. Okay. A show, like a fun, yeah. Yeah, this is a segment that we do on our show that's called A Second Date Update, where we try to help our listeners meet up with somebody that they went out with recently for a second time.

And you're calling me because I went on a date? Bingo. Kind of, yeah. And the guy was really interested in you. His name is Corey. Oh, yeah, okay. Uh-huh. You remember Corey? Yeah, she's not going to forget. I'd is Corey. Oh, yeah, okay. Uh-huh. You remember Corey?

Yeah. She's not going to forget. I'd love to hear her side of the story. Yeah. I wasn't loving your reaction to the name Corey there. Yeah, it makes sense, though. We're just trying to help Corey figure out if something maybe went wrong on the date. You want me to let you know?

Yeah. Like what happened or whatever? Well, here, let me just tell you. Corey says he feels like he may have overreacted slightly to the situation. I don't know if we should put slightly in there. It sounds like he feels like he overreacted. It was a mild, very light jump to conclusions of what happened. A mild confrontation at the coffee shop.

With the barista leaving a phone number on your cup. I mean, that's not exactly what happened. What do you mean? Well, we only have Corey's side of the story, so maybe he missed something. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's kind of like embarrassing. So, like, I'm a girl yeah yeah yeah whoa that's not groundbreaking okay i'm supposed to react to that so if you all you all go on dates and you know

you tell your friends where you're going and you do that right okay yeah You're like safety net. Your girlfriend. Yeah. So I have a friend that is a barista at the coffee shop that I chose for us to go to. And so often I'll be like, if I drop my spoon on the ground, this person is crazy and I need you to come over and, you know what I mean? Like buying, but she's keeping an eye out for me or whatever. So I'm confused. So what does that have to do with the number and the name on the cup? Did you already want out of it? Was that the secret code?

It's a secret code. So listen, so I do this thing. My hobby is speed puzzling. Oh yeah. He told us about that. He was excited about that. He thought that was cool. Oh, and so I have a team of four,

or I had a team of four, but our fourth member recently moved. And it's Devin's number, who is a person that my friend wanted me to text to be like, hey, I hear you're a puzzler. He put the number on my cup, and then they outlined it in the shape of a puzzle piece. Oh, what?

He told us about that, but he didn't mention anything about the puzzle piece. Yeah, he was more focused on the number than actually looking at it. Oh, yeah. Okay. Why wouldn't your friend just text you the number of Devin? It was a busy day at the coffee shop. Like, the line was really long, and so I think she saw me and was like, oh, yeah, I got to tell her about Devin. It was a busy day at the coffee shop. The line was really long and so I think she saw me and was like, oh yeah, I gotta tell her about Devin.

Oh my god. So he's making a scene and it's... Why didn't you explain this to him when he was yelling? This was before I even got the cup. And then I see him yelling at the people and then he comes back. So you didn't really know that that's what

the confrontation was about until he brought the cup over to your table. Yeah, until he brought the cup and I saw the number and the name and I was like, I didn't know. And nobody knew who Devin was because Devin wasn't there in that coffee shop. No, Devin is not a barista. I thought Devin was just a scaredy cat hiding in the back. If you want to talk about a scaredy cat who's hiding right now,

that would be Corey hiding on the other line listening to this conversation. Man, this has got to be embarrassing. Hi. Yeah, no. How you doing? Oh. Doesn't sound embarrassing. Yeah, sorry, Aaron.

That's how this segment works. Yeah. Wait, what? So wait, so let me just clarify. Devin is a gal that's supposed to be on your team, and, like, there was no Devin back. You had a friend who was a barista back there. That's right. Wait, what? Who's this that's cory on the other line he's been listening to this conversation quietly coming in a little high yeah i said the coffee shop all over again

yeah cory yeah hi yeah it's just like like nobody told me that i would rather have heard that than just like nothing you know like please tell me the truth like i want to know what is going on here so that i can like judge it appropriately like i was just living in a fantasy world we had just met i didn't know if like you would also get mad that my friend was there you know what i mean like why would i get mad at that i thought you would get mad because you already yelled at the baristas you know yeah it mean like why would i get mad at that i thought you would get mad because you already yelled at the baristas you know it's kind of a solid read on aaron's part there dude i i don't even know man i like it just it just blows my mind that your choice was to not

explain i thought you wanted to apologize for this that was an apology if you really look hard at it. Like, I'm apologizing for reacting off of something that, like, I didn't I did react big. I did react big. I'll fully admit that. I'm so sorry about that. But, like, it was... I don't think you need a butt. I don't think you need a butt. I think you just leave it where you had it. It sounded good.

I'll leave it at that. Okay, there you go. He is so deeply sorry for how he reacted and wishes that he could take it all back. And we would love to offer you the chance to take it all back by sending you on another date that we would pay for. We all know he was going to say it's your friend's fault for writing that. But Aaron, that's our offer to you.

We'll offer to send you and Corey out one more time on our dime. You know, let's put the pieces of this puzzle back together. Hey, we never even got to the puzzle i mean i guess it's i guess it's up to him because it sounds like he's pretty mad at me for doing the girl thing of having a backup i'm mad that you didn't tell me that you didn't like you didn't feel okay to share okay you know yeah i didn't because like we'd known each other for 10 minutes and and i saw your reaction to the barista, and so I was afraid that you'd take it out on me, too, so I just protect myself by not bringing it up.

Man, is this one giant red flag. Yeah. It's a girl thing. Yeah. No, this is good. We get all of the therapy out now. Oh. And then the relationship is smooth sailing the rest of the way.

I have told myself many times that that would be the case in the past. The hardest part is the first date. Yes, the hardest part. I'll jigsaw puzzles after this. Exactly. So there you go, Erin. We'll send you out. Oh, my God.

Yeah, I mean, honestly, our first date was really only like 30 minutes maybe. So I guess I'd be open to going out on a longer date cory she's being very forgiving here because she realizes that you didn't know the full scope of what really was going on with the phone number on her cup yeah she sees that can you be forgiving of aaron and try this thing again with less confusion and yelling next time. Yeah, let's give it another shot. Okay. Yeah, let's do it. Well, congratulations, YouTube. You guys are going to meet up one more time.

Why do I have a feeling we're not going to hear an update update on this one? Oh, not that attitude, Brooke. Come on now. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. At the end of that call, Brooke mentioned something that we do on our show called Second Date Update Update, where we check back in with a couple months later after they've agreed to go out again to find out how the relationship's going.

Brooke said she doesn't think we'll get one from Corey and Aaron. And my question, Brooke, is why wouldn't we? Really? Why wouldn't we want that? Because it just sounds like they're just not the right. Radio Gold is what it sounds like. I want to hear. If he's yelling at a barista on their first outing, just imagine what would happen on their second date.

Bring that short temper on the air. I was thinking as a person instead of a producer. What am I thinking? Our ratings need them back for an update. I would absolutely tune in to hear that. Well, I would too. Not that I wouldn't listen. I would totally listen.

Totally. Email us. I mean, we're not going to help much with your mental health or your actual relationship. But it'll help our ratings. It really will. Yeah. No, we promise. We'll give it our best shot to help you in your love life.
