A few months ago, we heard about a first date that turned out like a real-life sitcom,

all because of a simple misunderstanding, where the girl thought she was going to be going to her favorite brunch spot that day. Oh, yes! It turns out they were headed someplace way different. Yeah. Opposite of brunch. She was definitely not dressed for it. No, not nearly as romantic.

But still, it led to one of the sweetest, most memorable calls that we've had all year. And today, we're going to have both of them back on the show to find out what's happened since their chaotic first meetup. Oh, cute. I love these. That's right. We're doing a brand new second date update update right after their original phone call. That's happening next.

You know, recently I was on a dating app trying to find matches for Jose. Oh, yeah. Honestly, it was really difficult. Not because of what Jose wants, you know, because he'll go out with pretty much anything. I'm just saying that as a single person, it's got to be hard because the app is filled with so many odd people. Yeah, mostly odd people. Like with photos wearing tons of makeup and filters or someone that's standing alone in a swamp holding a sign up that says still single. I don't know.

Is that supposed to be funny or is it meant to make me sad and make me feel bad enough to go out with you? I think it is a cry for help. Is it? All I know is after that experience, I really feel for listeners like Steve who emailed into the show today and said he was just happy that her profile seemed somewhat normal. Oh, you're not looking for a swamp girl to go to you with your swamp boy? No, not at all. Okay. Tell us about the woman that you matched with.

What's her name? Her name's Jamie. All right. Is there anything exceptional to say about her or was she just normal? She seemed very normal, super cute. And, you know, I was raised on a farm, so she didn't necessarily look like a country girl, but she looked very sweet and innocent. and so I kind of went with it. She could still pick up a bale of hay.

I mean, I'm assuming that that's on your list. What do you do with a normal girl for a first date? Well, the date that I kind of pitched to her that she kind of agreed to was, you know, let's just have a date on my family's farm, and, you know, I can show you what farm life is day to day. Wait a minute. Does that mean that she's like meeting your family on the first date? I mean, it is the family farm, so we pretty much it's just family that works there. But, you know, I just wanted her to experience how I grew up and, you know, my just kind of day to day living. So are you still working on the farm too? Yeah, part-time.

Okay. And I imagine all the cute animals are also your family. You got a little piggy. Yeah, we had the whole nine yards. We got a cow, chicken, goat. I will get to Mr. Harvey in a little bit. Mr. Harvey? Who's that?

Yes, that is our goat. Okay. Oh, cute. This is an interesting choice for a first date like what was her reaction when you pitched this idea to her well she seemed kind of excited about it i mean she didn't voice any concerns i told her i was like you know i'll get you some overalls and some boots picked her up early in the morning we drove out to the countryside you know and went to the farm and she got dressed and got to work, you know.

Okay. That sounds like work. Yeah. I got to stop you for a second. I grew up, you know, surrounded by farm life in a tiny little town. It's not glamorous. I mean, like to me, it sounds like you're shoveling manure. No, I did spare her the manure. You know, we picked the eggs for breakfast and then we went out and we milked the cows. We did not use the milk for breakfast. But I told her, you know, I was like, do you want to feed the pigs? It's super simple. It's not really all that messy. And she was down with it.

But Mr. Harvey, that's where Mr. Harvey comes in because he kind of just roams the farm. Yes, he's our pet goat. He's kind of like our guard dog. Instead of a blue chick hound, we have a big goat. A guard goat. Yeah, he's sometimes a little temperamental When it comes to meeting new people He'll just nibble on them Brooke did the same thing to me on my first day

On the show, she just came up and started Tearing my clothes right off I gotta say, I'm part goat I could get behind that Did that scare her? Well, not at first. I mean, at first, I think it did, but it wasn't until he kind of started getting a little

aggressive with it, because I had turned my back for a minute, and I turned back around and she was pretty much almost on all fours, just getting chewed up. You're describing Brooke to a T here. Getting flashbacks of my own life. She did laugh about it, so I just took it as just one of those things.

I mean, if you've ever tried to milk a goat, you know how scary they can be. I'm being serious. You have to put it in a small enclosed area. That sounds like a mostly Brooke experience in this room at least. So, I mean, how did the date end for you there? Well, we had lunch with my parents and everybody. And I introduced her as my new friend. But everyone knows what that means.

I wanted it to kind of seem normal, like not too serious, like you're meeting my parents on the first date because we agreed to the farm date. Do you bring a lot of women out to the farm to meet everybody, or is this a new thing? No, honestly, this is a first-time thing. I thought it would be kind of cool to get out of the city. And so the lunch went fine, and I told her, I said, you know, next date, you pick city, whatever you want to do, we'll do it.

And she hasn't returned any of my texts. Are you regretting the farm date idea since she isn't writing you back? Or do you think it's something else? I'm beginning to think it might have been a bad idea. I disagree. I think if she's a city girl, you bring her to the farm, it's like bringing someone to a zoo. You do something you never get to see.

You don't have to wear overalls and work at the zoo. You don't have to work, though. He said he made it light, and she just got to kind of hang around. I think maybe Mr. Harvey swooped in on your girl. I was not. I think he stole it from you, but we're going to find out. We're going to call Jamie here in just a second and get your second date update right after this, all right? Thank you.

All right, hold on, man. Second date update. You're in the middle of a second date update update, and we're going to find out how the couple is doing right after you hear part two. You know, old McDonald may have had a farm, but old McStevo had a date. Oh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like this one. And on his date, there was a Jamie. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With a farm chore here and a date. Oh. E-I-E-I-O. I like this one. And on his date, there was a Jamie. Uh-huh. E-I-E-I-O. With a farm chore here and a farm chore there. Here's my mom. Here's my dad.

Here's a goat. That's bad. Oh, that was good. I like it. That was good. That was horrible recap. I kind of liked it. But Steve did take Jamie to his family farm.

And I think the overwhelming thought in studio right now is that Jamie probably didn't want to spend the whole time doing farm work I mean it almost sounds like your family was using it as a ploy to get free labor yeah I wouldn't say that I thought she was having fun okay yeah that's good okay I feel optimistic that she was having fun this is like a once in you know life not lifetime but it's like random thing. I mean, Jose, would you like to do that for a first date? Once in a lifetime opportunity? Only pet the animals.

It sounds like you want to go to a petting zoo. Oh, that's what I want to do. Yeah, not a farm. Oh, and drink fresh milk. It almost sounded like a heavy petting zoo in Jose's mind. I'm going to tell you, you do not want to drink fresh milk. Really? It makes me vomit every time.

Yeah, I do want to go to a heavy pet zoo. Yeah, that sounds kind of fun. When they get back. But maybe we should start a business after this is over. Dude, that's brilliant. But we have a job to do on the show, and that's to call Jamie and figure out why she's not calling Steve back. So, Steve, you ready to do this? Yeah, I'm ready.

Let's do it. All right. Here we go. It's called Farmhand Jamie. What? Farmhand. That's what people who work on a farm here we go hello hey is this jamie yeah hey jamie my name name is Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Um, okay.

We need some extra help around the radio station. And we heard you are excellent. I'm sorry, what is this about? Yeah, that was strange. This is about a segment that we're doing called the Second Date Update. And we're trying to help one of our listeners named Steve get back in touch

with you after you went on a date oh yeah that was a big old sigh there jamie we've already spoken to steve about your first date with him and we've heard his side of the story we're interested in getting your side of the story to know what you thought about him and his family farm well first of all he didn't say his family farm. Oh, he didn't? No, he said, hey, do you want to go to the farm for brunch? And I was like, oh, I love that place. You didn't know his family was going to be there.

Wait, you love that place? Like the farm is in like some hip brunch spot. Yes, it's really hip. So I thought we were going to have brunch. We weren't going to an actual bar. Oh, my God. Oh, that's a lot different. Oh, my God. He thought that you understood. He didn't think that you thought bottomless mimosas. I was not against it, but I had a night the night before. I was a little hungover. I was not expecting to be feeling hay and milking cows.

So wait a minute, though. Like, his parents open the door and they hand you a set of coveralls. Like, why didn't you say something, like, that you had no idea? Honestly, I was a little out of it. And I was like, you know what? Just get through this. It's going to be a story to tell. Plus, that would be really rude to just get out of the car and his parents are like, hey, nice to meet you.

And she would be like, ooh. She didn't have to say ooh. I didn't want like, ooh. She didn't have to say ooh. I didn't want to be here. She didn't have to say that. She could say, oh my God, I had no idea you meant a literal afar.

That doesn't look good in front of the parents either. No, but like... Well, didn't you at least have fun with the goat, right? We heard Mr. Harvey really liked you. Yeah, you get to pet a goat.

Yeah, he really liked me. And honestly, it started out like, oh, this is cute. And then it was like, oh my God, I'm going to be to pet a goat. Yeah, he really liked me. And honestly, it started out like, oh, this is cute. And then it was like, oh, my God, I'm going to be eaten by a goat. Well, I know, like, not only did Mr. Harvey like you, but Steve really liked you. And don't just take my word for it. Hear it from Steve himself. He's on the other line right now and wants to talk to you.

Oh, my gosh. You're joking, right? No, I'm serious hi jamie um i i'm so sorry for the misunderstanding i uh i assumed because the family farm and everything's on my profile that you just automatically knew that i'm at my farm i've never even heard of this brunch spot. No, I, I see. Um, yeah, you, you know, and just start talking, you were like the farm, the farm, you never said my family's farm. So I think we had just a little bit of miscommunication. Yeah. Just a tad. Yeah. I apologize for that. I'm so just so used to calling it the farm. Honestly, hearing you talk about it, it doesn't seem like you had that good of a time as I thought you did.

Well, I was having as good of a time as I could being hungover and not expecting I was going to be in coveralls and feeling, hey, so your family is lovely and I think you're lovely. We didn't have enough time to actually get to know each other, but it was just unexpected. Right. So Steve, like, how is this sitting with you hearing her reaction to what her expectations were going to the farm and then what it was actually like for her? Yeah. Jamie, it sounds like you really had a lot to complain about. Um, you know, I'm just, I'm typically not into complainers cause you know, I grew up on a farm, so we just kind of sucked it up and pushed through it and dealt with it and got what needed to be done. Done. Yeah. I was getting that same vibe when I was hearing her talk about it.

So Jamie, why don't you say the top three things that you enjoyed while you were there? Three? Why would you? Oh, top five then. No! I'm not trying to fit into your family this was like a first date so like i'm complaining because there wasn't clear communication so yeah do you understand that steve because it's like she's complaining you're acting as if she works on the farm and she's a bad employee is

what it sounds like yeah um that's not what i'm trying to sound like to quote you there was some miscommunication and i do apologize about that um but that doesn't mean that we couldn't try something else because you did agree to possibly having a date in the city later on well you know i i did agree to that but after hearing you say that i was complaining about a situation that I didn't... Oh, no. So now you're going to complain about the way that he complained. Jeff, that's not saving it. Well, that was, if I could interrupt, I mean, that was clear communication. I just communicated my feelings about the situation to you.

I think, honestly, you're not understanding in my shoes of what it would feel like to not be, like, aware and prepared for the situation that I was in. It sounds like he's understanding. He's being a little defensive of his own family. It feels like he's getting attacked. It sounds like a classic example of a guy giving a woman exactly what she asked for and then getting blamed for giving him the exact thing. That's not what I meant. He's apologizing.

He's apologizing. He's trying to communicate. Well, he did kind of attack her for complaining. And he messed it up from the start. And now he's getting it from the hosts of the show. They call for help, too. I just think everybody needs to take a deep breath. I think this could work.

Starting with you would be great. Because I would like to send you two out on a nice second date where you have great communication. There's no farm work needed to be done. Brooke's still breathing over there. Hold on. No parents. No parents. No coveralls or whatever they're called.

Well, you know what? The positive thing is that he did really go over and above. And there's very few dates that I have been on where someone actually cared enough. I mean, it was caring a little too much to me. I mean, I'm in a family so fast, but I guess I'd be open to it. Okay. Okay, Jamie, you're open to it. Steve, what do you say?

Sounds great to me, and I apologize about my family. Aww. This is cute. They're lovely. It was just so fast. Yeah, yeah. See, this is cute. Against all odds, we got a successful second date.

Yay. All right, now let's agree on a safe word up front. What do you want yours to be? What do they need a safe word for? I don't know how your guys' second dates work, but that's how it goes in my neighborhood. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Well, it's been months since we had them on for that second date. And today, at least one of them is back on the phone to give us an update on what happened.

I think we just have Jamie. Jamie, how's it going? Hey, guys. It's going well. Okay, that's shocking. I really didn't think it was going to be you on the phone. Oh, really? Yeah.

I thought it was going to be him for some reason. Oh, he couldn't make it. He had a meeting. He wishes he could be here, but. Oh, wait, you're still talking. Oh. Yeah. Or you stalk him and you know his schedule.

Okay. So, wait, after your call, you guys did go out on another date? We actually did go out on a second date. I took him to the actual brunch spot, the farm. Oh, nice. Good call. Yay. Good call.

Looks better. The farm. How was that? Was he impressed? I mean, it was a little touch and go in the beginning because it was a little awkward. Right. But it sort of softened pretty quick. And then about 30 minutes after he ate, unfortunately, he got sick. No.

No. What? What the heck? What happened? Like food poisoning sick? Yes, he got food poisoning sick. It was really awkward. Oh, poor thing. Of course that would happen the one time you bring him to the brunch spot.

He comes down with something. But it was actually pretty bonding because he went home, I took care of him. And then, like, you know, for the next few days, just checked in on him. And it actually brought us together. Oh, that's so cute. Wait, so you guys are still dating?

Yeah, we're, like, exclusive. Shut up. Congrats. That's so cute. Have you been out on the actual farm working again then? Now that you're the girlfriend, part of the family. Well, no. I mean, we've met with this family. We've

gone out to dinner, but we didn't go to the farm. Basically, we're staying away from all things with the farm. Anything that's farm-related, we're staying away from. The brunch spot. Learned your lesson, I see. Oh, that's so cute! Great for you guys!

Yeah, we're really happy. I'm really grateful to you guys for offering a second date because after the first one, we were just not on the same page. And so now it's great. Sometimes you just need a second chance. You make out your check, $500 to Jeffrey Duvall, and I will humbly accept your thank you. No, seriously, we're all happy for you, Jamie. And tell Steve what's up. I will humbly accept your thank you. Okay. No, seriously. We're all happy for you, Jamie. And tell Steve what's up.

I will. I will. He's back to normal, just so you know. All good. Okay. All right. 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.
