Second Date Update Man, we've been hearing from our listeners, especially in the last couple years, that the dating landscape is more bleak than ever. Oh, yeah. I feel like this is the theme song for it, Jeff. Well, you know what? I do appreciate the guys out there who aren't backing down and aren't giving up. Yeah, for sure.

Good for them. Sure, it's tough for them to land a date, but when they do, they get creative with it. I love that. They plan out like a dumpster diving dinner date. Oh, we did have that. Yeah, that was misguided effort. But unique or a blindfolded romantic trust walk across a freeway. Okay.

Oh, dang. Nothing brings you together like that type of experience. Or very far apart, depending on who gets hit. Well, it'll bring you together in the same hospital room. And one of our listeners, Ben, said he went creative with his date idea. And before we even hear it, Brooke's going to give her sign of approval just for trying. A man tried. Whenever you ask for my approval before I hear something, it's usually because something is not a good idea.

I don't even know what the date is yet. Oh, you don't? Okay, then I think it's good for you, Ben. I love that you put that in. Let's go. Good energy, Ben. Sorry, I thought I was getting tricked by Jeffrey. That happens a lot on this show.

She doesn't trust any man, Ben. No, I just don't trust him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. We want to hear, what was this creative date idea that you came up with? So in order to understand this date, you kind of have to understand how we bonded. Okay. So Amanda and I, we met on an app and we bonded over movies.

We both really love movies. Dude, if you were about to say you took her to the movie theater and that's the strange part, hang up on him. Oh, no. Hang up on him. yeah so i had this idea that our first date would be like a movie theme a movie theme date not going to the movies but movie theme what does that mean you're right well i thought about it i wanted to have something that to be memorable and so i thought thought, well, I could, maybe we could, I could pick a movie where, where we had that experience in date form. Okay. Okay.

So you did air force one together and hijacked a plane. That's fine. Yeah. Well, you know, I was thinking like date movies, but I like your ideas too. Oh,

but what'd you go with? I decided to do like different movie scenes. Cause I couldn't think of a whole movie from start to finish. I would make a good date. Okay, so what'd you pick? You're recreating famous date movie scenes. Like iconic scenes from movies. Like for example, the first

thing we did was we had a Shrek themed picnic in a swamp. Nice! I think that's a cute thing. Of course, Brooke thinks a swamp date is cute. I think as long as she figures out the movie associated with it. It's cute.

Oh, she got it. She got it almost right away. Well, it helped. I was talking like Shrek, too. I was doing my Shrek voice. So what was next? What happened after the Shrek picnic? Then I wanted to do an activity, and there was this pottery studio right around the corner from the pond.

Oh my God. Like Patrick Swayze ghost style? Yes. Is that what you're saying? Yes. Sexy pottery. That's exactly it. So we had the potter wheel.

Well, hold on. Did you die and come back as a ghost first in order to do this properly? Was your shirt off? No, I kept my shirt on. Oh, man. You didn't awkwardly go behind her, did you? No. I didn't guide her hands. Maybe I did you? No, I didn't.

Maybe I did, but it wasn't weird or anything. Interesting. Oh, my gosh. What was her response? So, I think she said, are you really doing this? I said, yeah, I mean. Alright. Are you really doing this? As in, like,

wow, this is impressive. Are you seriously going through this much effort? Tone's going to be really important on that sentence. And unfortunately, we cannot recreate that. I'm going to assume that she loved it. I thought she was into it. She even said that Ghost was one of her favorite movies. Oh, she did.

So she told me. She said was as in past tense. Take us to the third and final love scene. What was the movie you went with there? Well, so at the end, I had a couple of options. Oh, okay. Let her choose. So I told her, like, we could do the dirty dancing lift.

Oh, wow. For dancing. Are you even physically capable of that? I think I could take her. I think I could. I think I could take her. I think I get Tinker. Did you really lean into these Patrick Swayze scenes? Yeah.

What was the other option? What I thought would be a really, really cool special moment is the upside down kiss from Spider-Man. Oh, wow. I thought that would be the perfect way to end off the day. How?

How would you do that? Hold her upside down. I thought that would be the perfect way to end off the day. How? Monkey bars? How? Yeah, how would you do that? Hold her upside down. There was a tree out there. With a branch. There it is. There we go.

Did you really hang upside down from a tree? Well, which one did she choose? Actually, she didn't choose either one of those. Probably for the best. Oh, what? She recommended that we do the handshake scene from Wolf of Wall Street. Oh. I don't know.

I don't remember that. The handshake? I remember a lot of scenes, but not the handshake. Yeah. In other words, she just gave me a handshake. It was a very firm handshake. All right. So is that how you guys left it, with a firm handshake? Yeah.

Yeah. That was it. And she thanked me for the date. She thought it was really cool and thoughtful. And I told her I'd'd like to see her again and she said yeah let's see if we can make that happen interesting we just went over a list of things that people say that they don't really mean and that was one of the top ones it really honestly was it was like yeah we'll totally get together yeah sure have you contacted her i texted her her and I messaged her on the app. And I haven't heard from her.

Well, I haven't heard back from her. And so that's why I was hoping you guys can help me hook up that Spider-Man kiss. Yeah, I mean, you put in a lot of effort. Whether or not we agree that they were great ideas or not, just the effort alone is worth another shot. Or even this, he's on a radio show to get her back. Like, this is a lot of effort. Oh, what movie is that from?

It feels like it should be a movie theme. Oh, is that Sleepless? Sleepless in Seattle she calls into a radio show. Oh, she does. We're going to go full sleepless on this girl

when we do your second date update. Oh, I do kind of remember that now. We're going to hook you up on top of the Empire State Building when we come back. At least it's Space Needle. The end is definitely Empire State Building.

Oh, the end. Can we pick a new movie? I mean, just you haven't seen it? No. Alexis, leave the room. We're going to do a second date update right after this. Second date update. Three romantic movie scenes recreated in one very steamy date.

Steamy because of the pond next to them? Yeah, a lot of moisture coming up from that. I see. Yeah, got you. Our listener Ben bonded with a woman named Amanda over their shared love of cinema. So he thought it'd be fun to recreate the swamp picnic from the Shrek movie.

It's actually really cute. The pottery scene from Ghost. And after she rejected the upside down Spider-Man kiss, they settled on a regular handshake. Okay. A very business-like Wolf of Wall Street handshake. That's right. Hot.

Now, did something happen in the middle of all that stuff? Because those movie scenes sounded really great. But, Ben, I need to ask you, when you were reaching around her at the pottery place, you were feeling normal, right? Oh, God, Jeff. What? Oh, yeah. No, yeah, totally. Is that what you mean?

Brooke, you know how these go. I mean, that would be. We have never asked that question before. But you understand the physical reaction that pottery has on a man. Okay, no, Jeff. When you stick your hands into that clay, you can't control what your body does. Okay.

It does for me. What happened in your art class in high school, Jeffrey? I don't want to know. Well, I'll ask my art teacher to send you the video if you're really that interested. Oh, there's videos. Yes. That's so stupid.

Ben, it was all kosher in the pottery place? It was just pottery. Okay. Good. Good. Good. That's the best answer, actually place? It was just pottery. Okay. Good. Good. That's the best answer, actually. Pottery's really hard.

Yeah. They didn't like that. Yeah. I know, right? Sure it is. I bet it's difficult. Like, I've taken a pottery class before. I think a lot of us are feeling hot right now, so we better not. Just call her.

Do not say anything like this to her. That's right. Let's get more people in on this action. I'm dialing Amanda right her. That's right. Let's get more people in on this action. I'm dialing Amanda right now. Here we go. Hello? Hey, we're looking to speak with Amanda.

Who is she? Hey, Amanda. My name is Jeff. You're on the radio right now with a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Hey, Amanda. Hello, Amanda. Good morning. Don't hang up. Hi.

Hi. Hey, you're pretty chill. She's cool. We're chill too, Amanda. What's up? We're doing a segment called A Second Date Update, which is where we try and help out our listeners after they've gone out with somebody and they'd like to see them again, try and figure out if there's a reason why the second meetup hasn't happened yet okay okay and so the guy that reached out to us about you his name is ben

okay yeah does that make sense that does make sense okay okay cool so basically we have heard from ben about your guys's recreate a movie date he put a lot of thought and energy into it because he was really excited about you yeah so i don't know how many details he gave you um a lot we heard shrek ghost and then you guys settled on a Wolf of Wall Street thing. Oh, yeah. Handshake at the end. Okay. Which was your idea?

Let me. Yes. Ghost Pottery, which was very creative and cute. Oh, you did like that. Yeah. But he had told me that the last thing was going to be a surprise. So she wasn't going to like tell me until the end. And he kept bringing up during the other dates, like, you know, we could stop this right now and just do pretty woman.

Pretty woman? Oh, gosh. What does that mean? She's a prostitute? Where he pays you for your services? No, that is not. Yeah, where she's a businessman and she's a hooker he wanted to be the person who took you shopping that's probably what he meant right

what i remember it was a classy hook yeah she's very respectable in that movie i mean he wanted to kiss they don't kiss in pretty woman even if even if he did mean i want to take you shopping that's a strange thing for a first date. And it was already pretty elaborate. You guys, it was a first date. I just met this guy. So wait, you're upset that he brought up pretty woman because that made you feel used? Is that what it is?

It just was a little oogie. Okay, oogie. His intentions didn't feel great. But ogre swamp picnic felt right to you. It was multiple references to that, you guys. I see. What you're feeling, young people call it the ick. Yeah.

From the pretty woman. She called it the oogie. Okay. I think the oogie and the ick are very similar. Or he cyclotoped the oogies before the ick. Well, this is... I say let's hope the Oogie's before the Ick. Well, sure. When I don't want to, like, bring up any more icky Oogie feelings, but I do need to tell you that Ben is on the other line right now

listening to this conversation. Fantastic. And he does want to talk to you. Ben, are you there? I am here, and let me tell you, I feel exactly like the guys from Dude, Where's My Car right now. What does that mean? You're hungover?

You can't read the tattoo on your back? You're high? Like, what do you mean by that? Like, I'm just totally confused, you know? I would have gone for Dazed and Confused or something. You know, like, I don't know. I had Confused in the title. Why are you so confused?

Well, I just had no idea. Like, so when I suggested Pretty Woman, I mean, I was thinking about, like, the romance element, you know, like the fact that these two people, like, really hit it off and fell in love. I forgot she was a prostitute. That's not why I was bringing that up. That's like the whole plot of the movie.

You could have chosen something better. Well, it definitely was not my intention. I was not trying to imply that you were a prostitute in any way. That's good. You know, it's always good to have to say that after an essay. It's always a good thing.

I don't know how many times I've said that to my name. He's not trying to imply that. Okay. I totally get it. Are you hearing him, Amanda? Do you see where he is coming from? I don't know how you forget that part. Yeah, the escort thing?

That's kind of the key plot. So wait, are you not believing him, Amanda? Is that the issue? Yeah, I guess not. Well, you gotta look on the bright side, Amanda. At least he didn't bring up Silence of the Lambs. Yeah, thank you. And turn you into dinner. That's true.

There was no lotion or skin. There were no buckets involved in the date. I appreciate that. Now we're thinking positive here. And I also kind of meant it as a compliment because I think you are a pretty woman. That's what Alexis just said, bro. She can hear what she's saying, too. So this is a little bit awkward right now.

It's a little, yeah. But the way that we can make this all better is if, Amanda, you're willing to give Ben one more chance at another date, you could pick any other movie scene that you want to do or just a non-movie. You could do a do-over and do 50 first dates, you know, where he forgets every time. Or 50 shades of first dates. Hey, now we're talking. Let's go back to that pottery room. If you guys are going to send us to Hawaii, and then I'm in.

We had the money. Yeah. We'll pay for the taxi to the airport, then you handle the rest. Over the 10 miles. But, Ben, do you have another date idea if she says yes? Does it have to be movies? Yes. I mean, that's how they bonded.

Movies are kind of our thing. I don't know. I mean, I'd really like to do a basic instinct. What? I'm out. I'm out, y'all. That's the one with a scary stalker, isn't it? He meant

it as like she's pretty. She's beautiful. And naked. Pretty sure that's the one where she's naked. I gotta watch this. It sounds fun. Ben, I'm gonna sure that's the part where she's naked. Oh, wow. I've got to watch this. Sounds fun. So, Ben, I'm going to ask you again. Maybe try something different.

Maybe a little bit more romantic this time. What movie? You started with Shrek, dude. Yeah, dude. Because I'm cute. What movie did you have in mind for that second date, bud? I'll be honest. I keep thinking about this.

But I don't know how we could turn it into a date. But my favorite movie is Pulp Fiction. No! Get him off the phone! Violence and no. But there's the dance scene, the swing dance scene. I was thinking Harry Potter date. Like, what are you guys doing?

Ben, I think your heart is in the right place for sure, but your mind is... I mean... I just like a lot of movies. I just like a lot of movies. Your mind is scaring her, though, Ben. Is she even on the phone still? I don't know. Amanda, are you still there? Yeah, I'm not sure why. Well, Amanda, I'm sorry for all of this,

but best of luck in the dating pool. Ben, you got a lot of work to do. Yeah, man. I'd go away from movies, to be honest. Maybe stick with just rom-coms, dude. Yeah. Yeah, stick with one genre. Or animated. Yeah, I could try that, I guess.

I am really super disappointed, though. I did put a lot of work into that. And I don't know if she remembers, but my outfit at the picnic was very reminiscent of Shrek. And I just, you know, I feel like I should give credit. Ben, the good news is a lot of single women are hearing this right now. And running? At least they heard it.

Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You know what? That could have been a really sweet second date. So close to rom-com perfection. But he ended up being weird. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't subtle.

I see you slipping in movies there, but not subtly at all. I mean, and she tried. She tried to like it. She tried to get on with it, and then she's like, no, my gut is telling me that something's off. We figured that's right.

You know what? I do believe there is a woman out there somewhere right now thinking, when is a guy finally going to treat me like a high-priced f***er? I deserve that. That's my dream. You do, ladies. You deserve shopping. I'm starting to relate a little more.

I'm telling you, somebody out there for everybody, and we can help you find them. Email the show. We can call that person who's not calling you back.
