Like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker walks up to me. He goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out. Quarterback on office blue with 42. A rep.

My mama want you to weigh better. What? Where's she at? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Cliverts show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHart Podcasts presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne. Yeah.

This is my best friend, Janet. Hey. And we have been joined at the hips since high school. Absolutely. A redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate.

are youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey with all the snacks and drinks. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they hit a bogo. Well, then you got them. Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, welcome to it. It's Monday, and we've got a brand new episode for you.

Yeah, we do. Because we'd like to treat you that way. And today, you know, typically we do comments from Alexis because she gathers them all from our podcast page, but we also have a text board. Yeah, we do. Dude, you can reach us in so many ways. You can text into the show 7-8-5-9-2.

Now, there's one caveat on this. We can read international text, but we can't respond. Yeah, it hurts so bad. It hurts so bad. I always type up the whole message and I click send it. It's like, can't. I'm like, no. I'm like, no.

So we do read them if you don't get a response to us. We apologize, but we have one today about our second date. And Jose, what does it say? Yeah, it says, thank you, Brooke. I didn't need strawberry blowout. Monday imagery. That's a little cheesy you're about to do. Here you go.

What fun you have ahead. Oh, yeah. Let's get your new episode started right now. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. We've talked before about how farmers markets can be fun dates. Because you get to walk around, browse the produce, maybe show your sensual side and gently squeeze an heirloom tomato. Oh, my not.

Don't squeeze too hard, Jeff. Why is that sexual? Play your cards, right. That could be you. Wait, I don't want that to be me. How do you level that up even farther? Why not take your date to an entire food-themed festival? Just saying that, just saying that sounds like it could be a guaranteed lock for another hangout.

Yeah, because you guys won't fight about where you want to eat. Absolutely not. But for some reason, that isn't happening for our listener, Clark. So he's requested some help today. Clark, welcome to the show, ma'am. Hey, thanks for having me on. God, I'm excited to hear about this food experience. Is it like food trucks?

What are we working with here? Oh, we went to the Strawberry Festival. Oh. Oh, festival. Okay, that wasn't his... I don't know. Jeff set it up wrong again. No, me.

I went to, like, a Boysenberry Festival or something like that. It is, like, jumpy houses and one grandma selling some stuff. I don't know. Maybe his was a different experience. Okay. Sorry for all the hate that you got immediately on your date idea there, Clark. I thought we were touring. Italy, Jeffrey.

Okay. Yeah. Not high budget enough for this group, but... I feel like I've maybe learned the issue already. Well, it's just... It's not hot.

I'll say that. You can't say that when you don't know anything about what happened on the date. I don't think that's a fair thing to say. What about the name of the woman that you went with? I went with Izzy.

Brooke doesn't like that either. No, I like Izzy. Izzy sounds fun and cute. I assume you guys met on a dating app? Yeah, so we met on the apps and I mean, her picture struck me as somebody who's really kind and I mean, of course, she's beautiful

but I don't know, I just, you know, got to jive from her and I thought, hey, I'm going to message her. Okay, so clearly it's Photoshopped but yeah, that's good. You can't Photoshop kindness, Jeff. Okay, that's a different type of trait. I don't know, then a face-tune. Yeah, I'm pretty sure AI figured it out. Okay, so

let's get to what you guys did on your date at the Strawberry Fest. Yeah, so we wanted to go to have the world famous strawberry shortcake. Yeah, that's nice. And here's the thing. Like, the line was huge, but it wasn't so bad because, you know, it was a nice day. We could talk and start to get to know each other.

And then the day just starts to get weird because we get to the front of the line and the girl says, I'm sorry, we ran out of strawberries. And I'm like, what? At the strawberry festival. Who the hell runs out of strawberries at a strawberry festival? What the heck? Well, they're so popular. The shortcakes are so. so in such high demand. I mean, obviously everyone in the world knows about him.

Yeah. Yeah. Globally. Well known. What'd you do? So it turns out she's like, look, I just need like a half hour to prepare some more. So we killed some time. We come back. Get to the front of the line again. And she's like, hey, I'm all set. But is it okay if yours doesn't have whipped cream because I ran out of that? Dang. It's one of those days. I'll be sympathetic. I'm sure this poor worker is like having the Drive to the grocery store and buy some whipped cream. Is she the only one there?

It sounds like it's a massive attraction at this stupid festival. Or it happened in someone's backyard, and it was like their little personal garden. I'm sorry. The thing I hate most in the world is waiting in line. So where are your guys' like patience level right now? And you're on a date. Because you're hungry. Yeah, hangary.

Well, yeah. So here's the thing. I knew Izzy was hungry. I didn't want to make a scene in front of. but I'm like, dude, this is the whole reason you come here. So I ask for a discount. I'm like, if I'm not getting the full dessert, then give me a discount. Give me a reduced price.

What's wrong with that, Brooke? Well, it's like if you're with somebody you know, like I get it. But also now we're arguing with the worker because you're also upset. Clark, did you argue with the strawberry lady? Oh, no. No, but I was like, hey, you know, we've had to come back twice. This isn't the product you're selling. Can you give us a reduced price?

Even that. Okay. Did you get what you wanted? Because that may be a victory. No, on the end, I just kind of gave up and was like, all right, whatever. So we go to a picnic table. We eat our dessert. We start talking more than about our favorite desserts. Which is probably not the one sitting in front of you. The dry strawberry pound cake?

Oh, wait for it. Hers is blackberry cobbler. Of course, mine is strawberry shortcake with freaking whipped cream. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. So the frustration might be starting to show, even if you're trying to hide it. It seems like you guys have covered this eight times in the line while you're waiting there as well.

Yeah. I mean, look, I'm making a bigger deal out of it than it really was. Like, I was frustrated, but I knew I was on a date, so, you know, I kept my cool. Okay. All right. Well, after the nuclear strawberry blowout, how did the date end? I'm glad we're not over-dramatizing either. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, we walk around some more, saw some live music. There was a jam judging contest. You know, that was kind of fun. A jamboree, if you will. Oh. They should have you on the PR team for the Strawberry Fest. Oh, man.

I would have been jamming. Okay. Well, now I don't want you. Jelly rolled my way through that. What was that, Mark? I mean, they're doing puns, jam puns right now. What were you saying? Yeah, so eventually she's like, hey, I'm having a good time,

but I should probably start heading home. Okay, that's a good thing. And I said, oh, you know, we haven't seen the cutest straw baby contest yet. that people dressed her kids up. That's amazing. But look, I walked her to her car. We had a hug. It was nice.

I haven't heard back from her soon. How long has it been since you last had contact with Izzy? Oh, it's been like a couple weeks. Oh, that's a long time. What do you think? What do you think what's going on? I mean, between the strawberry blowout and her being like, okay, I should probably go home now. Like, I actually, I'm not really sure what happened.

I'm calling a blowout. Yeah, that's really funny. His frustration may have come out a little bit too much. I can tell someone like, I'm about to have a strawberry blowout. Let's go blow up. Okay. We'll blow up her phone when we come back and try and get you your second date update right after this. Hold on, man.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. Imagine a karaoke night with no microphone. A roller coaster with no drops. Oh, I see. I see your analogy. It's amazing how taking away one little thing can completely ruin the entire concept of a fun activity. That's right, Jeff.

And that's what happened to our listener, Clark, on his first date at the Strawberry Festival, when he was served a strawberry shortcake with no whipped cream. Wow. Wait, after waiting, how long in line, Clark? Oh, man, I don't even know. It was way beyond a half hour, 45 minutes maybe. Because we had to wait in line twice. Yes.

First when they ran out of strawberries, then when they had no whipped. cream. So he tried not to make a big deal out of it other than haggling over the price. And that didn't work. Yeah. So now he's not getting a call back, which begs the question, was Clark's big public strawberry blowout too big of a turnoff for Izzy? I will say, when I'm anticipating something so much and I wait for it for so long and then I get it and I'm disappointed, I can't let it go. My husband is all like, stop complaining. Yeah, we get it. Well, I know Clark has been anticipating this phone call work.

about to make for quite a while. That's going to be a disappointment too. Let's not jump there. We'll see what the real issue is. Hopefully she picks up the phone. I'm going to dial her number right now. Here we go. Hey, we're looking to speak with Izzy. This is? Hey, Izzy. This is a radio show.

We're on in the mornings. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hey, Izzy. See what we did there with the name? What if we were Brooke and Jeffrey at night, but we're on in the morning? That would be confusing. Okay. I know. Hi. Hi. Not a very funny show.

Not yet, Brooke. It happens. Yeah, Brooke, save us. Go for it. Just tell her why we're calling, please. Well, we're calling because this is a segment we do. It's called Second Date Update. Oh, Lord. Yeah, I know. It wasn't my first choice for a career, but here I am.

So the reason that we're calling you is because apparently you met up with a guy named Clark. Oh, my gosh. Okay. Okay. Good. Oh, my God. Have you just been? What am I supposed to say?

Well, is it just you're not calling him back because you're so busy and you meant to and you can't wait to see him again? Um. We just want to know what it was like. He did tell us about the date a little bit and mentioned a few fun things that you did together. Also a few frustrating things that may have happened, at least for him. Okay, I like the strawberry shortcake place that ran out of basically the whole thing. Exactly. How was standing in line for you?

I mean, the whole thing was ridiculous. You know, it was just like, it was a strawberry festival. How do you mess that up? Yeah, we understood that. But one of the things that he mentioned that I thought was kind of interesting is he said he attempted to haggle with the lady over the price of the shortcake with no whipped cream. And we weren't sure if that experience may have been a turnoff for you or how you felt about that. Yeah, I mean, he should, like, I agreed. Like, he should have.

That was ridiculous. They should be giving it. discount. There's no whipped cream. Like, what? Okay. And the fact that the girl's selling it was six years old. That didn't make a difference to you. I mean, what a bummer for him, though, right? Like, he wants to take you here. He wants to show you something cool, have this experience. And the whole thing is just deflated by their lack of preparation. Yeah. I mean, whatever. It didn't ruin the whole day. You know, it seemed fine. Okay. So I guess we're kind of in the dark here about why exactly you're not reaching. out to him. I mean, I'm just kind of pretty sure he's dealing with, like, a situation ship or something

or, like, there's another girl that he might be dating or, like, maybe some type of tax situation. Another girl that just came out of nowhere. Why would you say that? Did you think one of the babies at the Straw Baby Festival was his? That's why he wanted to see. No, no, it was, there was text messages that kept coming up on his phone, like, the entire date, and it was, like, some girl named Ginger. Like one time he was grabbing napkins and I could see the message like clearly wrote, Ginger needs you.

And then like he looked at it. He rolled his eyes. And I don't know. I was just kind of being like, I know it's not a sister because he had mentioned that he was the only child. Right. So I'm just, I don't know. I'm not looking to get involved in drama, especially if there's like another woman involved. Okay.

The drama was too much for you. I mean, I think that's just a simple question to him. Yeah. Are you talking about? And it's a first date. Like, who cares? It's not overly sexual. It's true.

It's a simple question that we could ask him right now, actually, because you don't know this, but Clark's been on the other line listening to this call waiting to talk to you. Oh, fun. I believe that. Clark, are you there? Yeah. I mean, come on. This is crazy.

So literally, that's the reason you're not calling back. Maybe start with a high, Clark. I don't call women crazy yet. You didn't say she's crazy. He said, this is crazy. No, they still associate him. He was insinuated. I mean, why didn't you just ask me?

I just don't want to get involved, honestly. Yeah. Get involved with who? Like, my Roomba? Ew. What? What did you just say that? Is that a joke?

What does that mean? So, Ginger is the name I gave my Roomba. No. You're getting notification. What? Am I supposed to honestly believe that? Clark, explain. So, look, when you buy a new Roomba, you name it.

And it, and text you updates on what it's doing. I mean, we named ours Alice. Oh, my God. That's not believable. And it's like, honestly, if you're really sticking with that story, like, I don't know, maybe I should talk to her. Oh, wait, hold on.

Yeah, give me your number. What? You want Ginger's number? Yeah. I did it. Fine. I mean, it's not how it works. You actually have to be in the same room and sync with her.

Oh, I see. So you're trying to get me back to your place so that I can think when you're. your vacuum. You know, next thing, you know, my top comes off. Oh, what? Wow. Wow. What's been here before?

What is happening, Izzy? Two men are all like, you only want one thing and you'll make up anything to get a girl, like a room not like this is on another level. Okay. Why do I feel like a guy has asked you to sink with his appliances before? You need to take a deep breath. I think that he might be telling the truth. And he might have a clean house. Yes.

Oh, hey. That's a plus. Okay, so while we're on a first date, you're looking at your phone, you're chatting with your vacuum, and that was, like, more important to talking with me. What happened was is she got stuck and needed my help. Basically, she needed help getting the turns around. Those are your priorities, right? So, like, if I'm believing your story that, like, your vacuum cleaner was texting you,

it's like, okay, your vacuum cleaner first, then the whipped cream is second, and then we third, in terms of priorities. Oh, wow. Wow. I don't know how we got to this point. I don't know what happened. I mean. When you put it like that, I guess it seems like it was true.

But look, we were just hanging out. We're not in a relationship or anything. I don't think it's quite that crazy. Like your Roomba is taking priority over me. So now you first thought he was lying and it was a woman. He was trying to get you to take your top off. And now you're still mad even when you believe it's a vacuum. Either way, it doesn't work for me, right?

Like if it's a Roomba, then like, why is he spending all the time on the date? like talking to this Roomba. Yeah. Oh, it just feels like maybe you're finding a reason to be mad about the situation, no matter what. Unless he was flirtatiously talking to his Roomba. Try you get the Roomba to take its top of. Clark, I don't think you meant to say that your vacuum cleaner was the top priority that night. Like, more important than connecting with Izzy.

I mean, look, my vacuum cleaner was stuck in my living room. She was alerting me. I'm not dating my Roomba. Okay. I wish that Ginger was like a true real woman because it'd be less pathetic than a man dealing with his vacuum cleaner. Oh, wow. You're not giving her. I think she's jealous.

She doesn't have a Rumba. That was a low blow. That is. You are the master of spin on this one. I mean, I think at this point I need to ask, Clark, would you like to go out with Izzy or your vacuum cleaner ginger? Either one, we would pay for that date. I mean, honestly, this thing has fallen so far off the rails. I think I'm good.

I almost regret calling. At least you have some closure. You're sending down Izzy and Ginger at the same time. You don't want to date either of them. Correct. Yeah. I think we're good here. Okay.

Well, I think this brings up a good point. We should all name our vacuum's only mail names. Yeah. Oh, okay, yeah. Like Gus would not have gotten you in trouble. Exactly. Oh, with her, maybe. I don't know.

Oh, yeah. Why am I still on the phone? Maybe you're stuck in a corner too in his living room. Izzy, you know what? I agree with you. You're good to go. You can hang up if you want to. Bye, Izzy. Okay, bye. We love you. She doesn't like you.

Oh. Clark, I'm sorry that went the way it went. Thank you. Yeah. I was not expecting that. Dude, none of us were. What the heck? But it's a good lesson there that whenever you go out with somebody, you need to mute Ginger so that she can't reach you. Or just don't run her while you're on a date. Oh, so now you want me to be controlling. Okay, I see how it's...

Over your appliances, yeah. Maybe you're more like Izzy than we thought. I'm like, okay, but if my dishwasher texts me, I need to get that. What is in the water right now? What's going on?

Text to 7592 says, did Jeff really just ask a guy if he wanted a date with his vacuum cleaner? That's where we're at this show. And look, to be fair, it seems like Ginger's been through a lot. She's probably the hardest worker out of the three of them, and she deserves a night out at Applebee's.

Maybe she could suck down some riblets. Dude, I'm with him, though. I think those vacuum cleaners are way too high-may and also really needy. They're very attention needy. They can't just do the job without literally every five minutes having to be told whether or not they were doing a good job. They drive me nuts. I don't have one. So does it tell you like when it's starting, when it finishes the job, when it's messed up?

Mostly I'm stuck. I'm stuck. Yeah. Like stuck in a corner. It's constantly stuck on the rug. Stuck under the couch. This is the only thing you have. have to do. How did they not

program you for corners? Every house has them. Fair? Back to the dating thing. Is it too much to ask that you prioritize your date over your smart vacuum on the first night that you meet? I mean, was that really her problem, though? She came up with a problem every time we tried to

solve it. Yeah. You know? Yeah, that may not have even been the real issue. She was ready to get off the phone as quickly as possible. Hopefully that's not the case with you. If you ever need our help, just email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back. Or that vacuum. That too.
