Rustic wineries. Oh, for sure. Rustic mini golf courses. Rustic bowling alleys. We're we're going down shoes are so hot no that's just because of the previous person as long as it's rustic inside another place that oozes with sexual energy is your local convenience store oh god so apparently we're one of our listeners eddie met someone recently local convenience store. Oh, God. So rustic. On the start of a list of that. Yeah.

Apparently, we're one of our listeners. Eddie met someone recently. At a convenience store? Let's talk to him about it. Eddie, you dog, welcome to the rustic studios of our morning show. How do you do?

Hey. I'm okay. Was it as romantic as Jeff is describing? No, actually. It was kind of embarrassing. Come on, Jeff. What are you doing?

Embarrassing in a rustic type of way. Yeah. What happened? Yeah, so I went to a convenience store. I kind of go there all the time. I was just picking up a couple items. Yeah. And I get up to the counter, put it up.

They ring me up, and I forgot my wallet at home. Oh, man. Oh, no. I hate that. So I'm, like, standing there like an idiot, like, patting myself up and I forgot my wallet at home. Oh, man. Oh, no. I hate that. So I'm like standing there like an idiot, like patting myself up and down. Oh, I hate that. Yeah. Like it's going to miraculously show up in a pocket.

It feels embarrassing when it happens as if you did it on purpose for some reason. Yeah. When you're looking around, I swear I have money. Yeah. So did you snatch your items and run? What'd you do? No. All of a sudden I heard this girl's voice

and I turned around and she's like, hey, is that all you're getting? And I was like, yeah. And she said, oh, I got you. I'll pay for it. And I was like, no, no, no. I mean, talk about embarrassed. That is embarrassing.

But that's sweet. That's really nice of her. It's probably just because she doesn't want you to hold up the line anymore. Okay. Yeah, she wanted to get the hell out, yeah. Is this the girl that you're talking about that you met? Yeah, Samantha.

Oh, so she's cute. Samantha, okay. Samantha's cute with money, huh? Wow, okay. So she bought your stuff for you? Yeah, so she bought my stuff, so then I'm like, okay, you know what? She's cute, but I'm never going to see her again. So I'm like, cool, thanks, pay it forward, all that stuff.

Right. And then next week, I run into her again. No way'm like, cool, thanks. Pay it forward, all that stuff. And then next week, I run into her again. No way! So it's both your local store. Wait, at the store? Yeah, clearly. So I'm like, oh my god, do you remember last week? And she was like, of course I do. Which, again, embarrassing.

You owe me $14, by the way. She's like, you could have found me on Venmo. Yeah, right? Okay, I can sense a little bit of a flirtation, though, happening just in that moment alone. Please tell me you used the opportunity to pay for whatever she was buying. I did. That's exactly it. I was like, let me pay you back.

So then I just, like, took care of what she put up on that counter. You definitely should have made her pay again just to show who was in charge. Okay. It's your move. It's your move. That's a real alpha. Alright. So what did you do?

Well, I was like, so, you know, what are you doing the rest of the day? I figured I'd shoot my shot. Oh, the rest of the day, like a date right then? A day date. Well, I mean, it was like, you know, it was like turning into evening. So I was like, I'm just going to go home. I'm going to watch some TV. I'm going to like order some food.

Why don't you you come and chill? And I thought she'd be like, oh, let me give you my number and stuff. But instead, she was like, cool. I'm not doing anything. Let's do it. What? Does she mean like right then? Yeah.

We walked back to my place right then. Oh, my God. Your rustic place, I'm assuming. Is it very rustic? It was clean. No? It was, yeah. Oh, no.

Definitely, definitely clean, yeah. Oh, no, definitely, definitely clean. Yeah. Okay. How did that go? It was great. I mean, the only thing that I can think is not great is that I forgot to tell her, or like, I didn't even think about it. I didn't think it was a big deal that I have a small dog. Oh, was it?

Oh, that's not a big deal. Dogs are cute. Unless you don't like dogs. Yeah, A lot of people don't like dogs. I'm sorry, I'm speaking for myself here. As soon as she walked in, she was like, oh, I'm scared of dogs. Dude, and I will say the little ones can be the most ferocious.

Yeah, they're both aggressive. My guy's super friendly. He's a great dog. Okay, he doesn't bite? No, no, not at all. He was like trying to cuddle up to her. And actually I was like giving her credit for like powering through. We ordered some food, we watched TV and then she left. And I was like, Oh, there was no real chance

for me to like, take it to that romantic level. Cause she was very preoccupied with the dog. Oh, okay. So I thought it was going really, So probably tense. Yeah, I thought it was going... It was going well. I should say it was going well, but I did... Like, I've kept texting her and I'm not getting any response. I mean, honestly,

it could come down to that you have a dog. Yeah. Like, if she's scared of them... People who are scared of dogs do not get over that in one day. No. But she seemed like she tried.

Like, you said she powered through, so maybe she was uncomfortable, but you said your dog is nice. And she tried to leave is what it sounds like. Well, okay. Are you mad at she's uncomfortable, but you said your dog is nice. She tried to leave, is what it sounds like. Are you mad at your dog for dog blocking you? That's right, Jeffrey. Oh, I sold the dog, he said.

You hung on to that? Usually the girls are into the dog. Oh, okay. This is unusual. Let's come back. We're going to call Samantha for you, and we'll try to convince her to look past your dog and give you a shot when we do a second date update right after this all right man hold on second date update you're in the middle of a second date update update and we're gonna find out how the couple is doing right after you hear part two honestly i didn't know

what to label this segment for when we post up on our podcast at Brooke and Jeffrey. Okay. I feel like it's either going to be convenience store cuties. Uh-huh. That's going to be it. I like the alliteration. Or dog blocked, raise the wolf. Oh.

Wow. So make sure to follow and subscribe and rate our podcast. Personally, I give it four stars if you ask me. Dude, I bet a lot of people are going to be searching Waze the Woof. We should. We should do Waze the Woof. We'll figure it out eventually.

Our listener, Eddie, met a girl recently at a convenience store twice on two separate occasions. The second time, she ended up going home with him. Didn't know that he had a dog though until she got there. And she turns out to be a little bit afraid of dogs. But tried to tough it out and hang with him

until she eventually had to leave. Eddie, I mean, like, did she ever say that she ended up liking the dog? What's the dog's name? Oh, we didn't ask that. Moe. Moe. Moe. Is Moe around?

Hi, Moe. Okay, let's not do this. I love dogs. Wondering if she ever said, like, actually, that wasn't so bad with Mo or anything like that. No, she really was pretty tense the whole time, and she was really sweet, trying to cuddle with her and everything, but she wasn't having that. You said she was trying her best to, like, hang and cuddle with Mo. Is there any chance that we call her and find out that she's half wolf? What?

The dog. Oh, the dog. Oh. It it's a tiny dog he said i'm just saying he may have a vicious side to him mean mugging i'm gonna say no that's not possible but he's not gonna like entertain you jeff okay he's also questioning why he called in the show for questions like that jeff i would like to have mo on this call as a character witness but unfortunately we can't so let's just call samantha and see what she has to say here we go dollar number right now hello hey uh we're looking for Samantha. Are you driving a semi-truck, Samantha? I'm not. What about a fighter airplane?

Like a jet? Are you bombing right now? Maybe we should just ask if she's busy. Yeah, sorry. You don't even know who we are. We're a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Sorry to interrupt your day. Good morning.

Hi, Samantha. the morning. Sorry to interrupt your day. Good morning. Hi, Samantha. Good morning. Sorry. Sorry. I know this is weird, but we're doing a segment called a second date update. Okay. Have you ever heard one of those before? No.

All right. Okay. Well, this is going to be kind of fun for you, hopefully, because there's a guy who reached out to us. He's a listener of our show. Seems like a really cool dude. His name's Eddie, and he says that he hung out with you the other day. It's a listener of our show. Seems like a really cool dude. His name's Eddie, and he says that he hung out with you the other day.

It was kind of a crazy story. Like, you guys had, like, an impromptu date. Yeah, we heard a lot about it, and Eddie said he's trying to figure out a way that you guys can meet up again, but that's not happening for some reason, and he's not sure why. There's no way I'd ever see him again. There's no way you'd ever see him?. There's no way you'd ever see him?

Why? It seems like you guys had a chill time based on what we heard. You obviously must have had interest because you went back with him to his house after meeting at a convenience store. Don't say it with so much judgment in your voice, Jeffrey. That's like the lead story at the top of the news at 10. Missing girl meets rando at convenience store. More at 11. Found strangle to death by Slim Jim.

You've always survived your convenience store meetup. Mine are prearranged meetings, Brooke. More trustworthy. We're not talking about my whirlwind romances. We're trying to focus on Samantha's. No, I can't say it. It's beyond embarrassing.

Wait, embarrassing for you? Because he didn't have money? Yeah, and we love embarrassing things. I can't even say it. Like, I've literally only told one friend about this. Really? What was their reaction? She was mortified.

She was mortified? Mortified. Again, for you or for him or for both of you? Good questions. Oh, my God. How nervous. Again, for you or for him or for both of you? Good questions. Oh, my God. I sound nervous. Oh, my God. I am dying to know.

Look, can we just say, Eddie seems like he really, really likes you. He wouldn't be reaching out through a radio station unless he really felt a genuine connection. He just wants to know what he did wrong. We promise we wouldn't judge you for it at all, no matter how embarrassing it is. We've literally heard everything on this show. You can make Brooke say something more embarrassing after. Yeah. I've lived a very humiliating life.

Okay, but you guys have to promise you'll never tell him this. Okay, tell him. He won't tell him. Yeah, I promise we will not say anything. Nothing comes out of our mouths. That's honor. Yep. Cross my heart.

All right, let's not lay it on too thick, okay? What's going on? Didn't tell you about his dog? Yeah, that he has a little dog named Moe. He mentioned that you were a little bit afraid of dogs. Yeah. Is that what you mean? I was trying my best.

We were hanging out and watching a TV show, and then Moe jumped up on my lap. Yeah. Okay. God, this is so embarrassing. And my body just reacted involuntarily. What do you mean? Your body?

I peed a little bit. Oh, sweet girl. Oh! Wait, you peed your pants? Sorry, we don't mean to laugh. We don't mean to laugh. Oh. Wait, you peed your pants? Sorry. Sorry, we don't mean to laugh. We don't mean to laugh. Oh, that's funny.

I know. It's horrible. And I was just like, I was mortified. Dude, I have a best friend, honest to God. She pees her pants all over the place. I have a friend, too. Yes. She'll call me from a dressing room.

She was at a modeling thing one time. It was like, Brooke, you'll never believe this. I just wet myself. I don't know what to do. I'm stuck in the dressing room. This is a thing? Okay. I know Brooke doesn't always keep the best company, so it might not be the best. She's really great. She really is. So, okay. I could see

you'd be a little bit embarrassed by that. Did he know that? No. I ended up asking Eddie to like, if I could have another drink. And once he went to the kitchen, I looked up. I saw there was a mark on the cushion. Oh, no. Oh, girl.

It's fine. It was that bad? So I just, like, I didn't know what to do. And I just flipped it over. The drink? And I just, the cushion. Oh, the couch cushion. Oh, I totally would have spilled the drink and been like, oh, no.

I thought this was going. Oh, that's smart, too. In hindsight, yeah. She asked for the drink. That's what I thought. Oh, so totally would have spilled the drink and been like, oh, no. I thought this was going. Yes. Smart, too. Hindsight. She asked for her drink. That's what I thought. Yes. So you tried to hide the evidence.

Yes. And I was just like, I'm sorry. I have to go. And I just, I'm still so embarrassed. Oh, girl. You do not feel bad. That is, that, you do not have to be embarrassed by that. Don't jump on you. If anybody should be embarrassed, it's me for forgetting to tell you that Eddie's on the

other line listening to this conversation right now. That's my bad. I'm very, very embarrassed. You could add a little more remorse in your voice, Jeff. We live up to our promise. We didn't say anything to Eddie. That all came out of your mouth. It's fine. I guarantee you he thinks this is

funny. Let's not guarantee anything. Okay. Make her feel better. Eddie, are you there thinks this is funny. Let's not guarantee anything. Okay. Make her feel better. Eddie, are you there? Hey, yeah. How's it going? See?

Eddie. Make her feel better, Eddie. Listen, Samantha. Listen, you don't have to be embarrassed. I'm glad I know now that I have to go home and wash my cushions. I'm so sorry to say something. Oh, my God. No, no. No, but seriously, like, you shouldn't have been so embarrassed.

Like, you could have just told me. We could have laughed about it. Like, it's not a big deal. Aw. And, like, you probably couldn't tell, thankfully, but, like, that couch has so many stains from other things. Oh, okay. Gross.

It needed washed anyways. I'm just glad you didn't look at my dining room chairs. They are way worse. Ew. I didn't press you in the dining room. Stop saying things like that. I think we've done our job. We've made her feel better.

Don't run up her like, you just see my bed. It's a water bed. It just impressed Alexis. I don't know if you guys are listening. I didn't expect better from a guy. Alexis is like, did you say dining room chairs? So, wait, do you feel better, Samantha? I mean, I guess.

I just, I'm sorry I didn't say anything. It's really, seriously, it's not a big deal. You should not be, like, dwelling on this. He'll pee his pants just to make you feel better, right? Eddie? If that's what it'll take. If that's what it'll take. Wow.

Hey, pee pants couple, look what we've done. I mean's what it'll take. Wow. Hey, a pee pants couple. Look what we've done. I mean, a guy who's willing to do that for you, Samantha, you can't let him get away. You've got to go out with him one more time. That's true. And we would pay for that second date. You can do it somewhere where there's no dogs anywhere around. What do you think, Samantha?

I mean, Eddie, if we do end up hanging out, my face is going to be beet red if we hang out for like the first 30 minutes. Well, I'll think of my most embarrassing story and share it with you. Aw, see, that's cute. And then on your guys' first anniversary, you can get her a set of Depends. So, is that a yes, Samantha? You're going to see him one more time? Yes. Oh, yay! All right!

I just peed a little with excitement. It's just old age, Brooke. That's just what happens. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. A lot of listeners have been asking for this, and now your wishes are coming true. I am so excited they're back.

Eddie and Samantha are back on for an update. Update. How are you guys doing? Hey, they're back. Because Eddie and Samantha are back on for an update update. How are you guys doing? Hi. Hey, we're great. Oh, good. We're happy to have you back on. Before we get to your relationship, Eddie, you mentioned during the call that you were going to tell Samantha about your most embarrassing date moment. Oh, yeah.

To even things out. Did you ever think of one? I did, yes. Okay. Can we hear? Yeah. All right. All right. All right. Let's get it over with. Okay. Can we hear? Yeah. Alright. Alright. Alright. Let's get it over with. I was in my early 20s. I was at

And we start like making out and we're kind of like fumbling around, fooling around, whatever. And I don't know why but all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I was like,umbling around fooling around whatever and um i don't know why

but all of a sudden out of nowhere i was like hey you think your dad does this with your mom yes and it was like instant mood killer like we were done we were done yeah i would be worried if it wasn't an instant mood killer. It's a very valid point. Oh, my God. Did that make you feel better when you heard that? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It really did.

Where's your guys' relationship at? Well, I can confirm we are still together. Nice. Good for you guys. How is your relationship with the dog Mo, Samantha? The dog actually is so sweet. She's actually made me less afraid of dogs in general. Oh, good.
