So we had to go out to farmers and convince them. Following that curiosity is a superpower. You have to be obsessed with the human condition. Listen to Building One on

You really last night. It felt like I lived most of my life in a blackout. I was trapped in addiction. You had to grab the lamp and smashed it against the walls. And then I decided I wanted

to tell my own story. Listen to crumbs on the I iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Second Date Update. They say if you truly love something, you need to set it free. And then if it comes back to you, that shows you're really soulmates.

Yeah, I've heard that. And my ex has still, it's been, what, six years? She's not listening, Jose. She's not listening. It hasn't worked for Jose, but someone has come back to us after we let them go when they fell short for a second date from a few months back. A little birdie back in our nest?

His name is Logan. It's meant to be, Logan. You came back. Does this mean we're soulmates? Yes, I've returned to you guys. What? You little clinger. You clinger.

Last time Logan was on, he got delayed at the airport and ended up spending about four hours with a woman at the airport bar. And it was really, really good for about the first five minutes until she said Logan got a little bit on her nerves. I don't want to get into too much detail about it, but she spent the next three minutes basically roasting him for being annoying and clingy. I cannot believe you came back. You must be doing something right now because you locked down another date for yourself.

Who was it with this time? This girl named Megan. All right. What did you and Megan do for a date? Well, first of all, let me just preface this all with, I learned some very valuable things from my first debacle at the, you know, airport there. Okay. What'd you take away? One is that my perspective of who I am when I get drunk is completely different than someone else's perspective. So

that actually takes a lifetime for some people to learn. Yeah. In my mind, I'm in a tuxedo tap dancing on a table. In reality, I just like crashed on someone's birthday cake. I can dance when I drink too. So is the perspective now you, you wanted to tone it down on the booze a little bit this time around? Yes. So what I said to Megan, I said, you know, I'm working on myself, and I have one drink minimum.

Oh, wait, for her? Minimum or maximum? Yeah. Oh, God, one drink maximum. Sorry. That's a good point, Jeffrey. You're going off of books rules for this fucking over there. Okay.

I mean, why did you feel like you had to tell her that? Why didn't you just do that, you know? I was just letting her in on the fact that I'm like a guy who's under construction. A project. Women love projects. They actually do.

What did she think about that? Was she cool with it? She seemed fine. I said, yeah, I just want to have one drink because I want to get to know you. I want to be able to listen. So I suggested this fun,

almost like a game. I said, for the first 30 minutes of our date, we are only going to pass notes to each other. That way, everything that's being said or communicated is really focused and important.

Well, you want to work on your listening, but passing notes doesn't involve any listening whatsoever. That's more of the reading and writing aspect, which is still also good to work on. What did she say to that idea? She thought it was cute. Really?

Okay. Oh, wow. So then we started getting into things, you know, what matters to you, what's important to you. Wow. And this is all being written down. It sounds like a lot of writing. You could have texted this before the date. I know, but we're there and we're looking into each other's eyes and she starts getting in on this popcorn thing.

She has a dog named Popcorn. thing. This dog named Popcorn. Oh, OK. It was an appetizer at the table. Oh, yeah. Started getting excited. So she was like scribbling down popcorn, popcorn, this popcorn that. And I was, you know, I just sent her back like, you know, more question mark, question mark. Because I couldn't believe how much popcorn was coming at me.

I need a drink. I need the minimum one drink right now. So did it really go on for 30 minutes? No, it didn't. It did not. I really overblew that estimate. It was about maybe five to seven minutes in. Got it.

And he's like, I'm getting writer's cramp. At that point, I would have, to your face, left you on read. Just folded the note, put it aside, and he's like um i'm getting writer's cramp at that point i would have to your face left you on red just folded the note put it aside so at that point after five whatever seven minutes you decided to transfer back to normal vocal conversation yes and then and then at that point it was like okay so my little cute attempts obviously fell a little not short but we adjusted them so then so then i also lifted the one drink minimum and i was like okay you know what no rules oh see there we go yeah the good thing is you're adapting you know if you would have said well no i did not break the rules

and i forced us for 30 minutes then of course that's the reason i feel like he caved to all of it like it's like you set up all these rules for yourself, Logan. I mean, were you having fun? Yeah, for sure. It was like how many people go out and just do the same mundane thing.

This was like something that was memorable so I was having a good time. Okay, what about her? Yeah, she was having a good time. Maybe it's something like

we don't understand the vibe like you had to be there to feel what was going on between them. Yeah. You know, if you ever watch

that Netflix show Wednesday. The Addams Family spinoff. It's great. The lead actress is always just sitting there just with her eyes looking back and forth and around. She doesn't blink or smile the entire show. Wait, is that how you're saying your date was?

Was like Wednesday Addams in the Netflix show? No, I'm just saying that there's a lot to be communicated with eyes. Just body language. You know she puts fear in people. So in your opinion, Logan, no speed bumps? I don't think so. No, it was good.

I got a nice hug at the end. But then I was setting up a second date. She was like, oh, yeah, I'm busy for the next couple days. Or, you know know this week is really bad next week so she yeah i couldn't read is she blowing me off sounds like she is if you think that you had a good time then we totally believe you on it and we want to help you get another date here with megan with your favorite pen pal yeah so we're gonna call wednesday adams here in just a second first we're gonna play a song back, and then get your second date update right after this. Awesome. Alright, hold on.

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. We're in the middle of a second date update with a good friend of the show named Logan and it's not his first time

doing one of these with us. I'm playing the Adams family theme song because he described his date with a girl named Megan like Wednesday Addams, the Netflix series. Meaning during their dinner, they did a lot of staring, a lot of brooding, and nonverbal communicating, which was extremely healthy, by the way. Yes. It's a little bit fearful, but healthy. I mean, Tim Burton told her not to blink in that show ever because it was creepier. Sure. I get it.

It may sound a little out of the ordinary to most people, but Logan did end up getting a hug. And the only thing he hasn't gotten is another date. So we're about to call Megan up here, and I just want to get your approval, Logan, before we do this, to use verbal communication with her. Is that okay with you? Stamped. I stamped my approval. Really boring if not. Honestly, you know, I felt bad for you the first time that we did a second date update, but I think you're such a good person and confident in who you are. You're going to be able to bounce back from this no matter what she says.

Yeah. Oh, thank you. All right. You're welcome. Put that on a note card and send it over to her. Okay. Let's just dial her number and we'll see what Megan has to say here. You ready?

I'll stay quiet. Good idea. Yeah, that's the plan. Until we need you to speak up. That's really important. You of all people know how this works. Yeah. All right.

Here it goes. Hello? Hi, this is Jeff from Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Blink twice if this is Megan, please. How would you say her? Wait, I'm sorry. Who's calling? I heard it.

There was definitely two blinks in there. She laughed. She laughed at that, Megan. I'm a funny person's calling? I heard it. There was definitely two blinks in there. She laughed. She laughed at that, Megan. I'm a funny person, Brooke. Deal with it. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah, you are. Hey, Megan, so you're on the radio right now on a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

Oh, I thought this was a prank call. Yeah. We get that sometimes. We also do those. So we're pretty stereotypical morning radio. We don't normally introduce ourselves before we do that. Right. We just kind of let it happen.

You're going to find we're pretty bad at our jobs here. One thing we're kind of good at, though, is helping people get another date. Okay. You're calling me about a date? Yes. Yeah. A date you went on with a guy named Logan. Oh.

Yeah, I remember Logan. Yeah. How could yougan yeah he's a good friend of ours actually i'd say he seems like a nice guy um yeah i mean i would say he's a he's a nice guy oh that's good all right we're starting off on the right foot anything more because he told us a little bit about the date and we teased him a little. Well, Brooke teased him, actually. I personally thought it was kind of a fun, creative idea for you to pass notes to each other. What did you think of it? Yeah, I mean, that part of the date was actually nice. You know, I like a guy that's willing to just improve themselves and try new things.

But there was just something weird that happened on the date. Was it one of the notes that he passed? Actually, maybe it was that. What do you mean? How do you not know if it was written down or not? Well, it came to the point where we had to order and the waitress had showed up to our table and he wrote a note to the waitress.

And I have no idea what he wrote to her, but like she started giggling right away. Maybe some dietary restrictions that he has. He's gluten free. She's making fun of him. I don't know. It was very flirty to me. And I immediately felt uncomfortable

because I didn't know what he wrote. And I was like, what's going on here? And then she wrote a note back to him. Oh, she did? Yeah. Yeah, and she gave him a fist bump, too. Wait, what did it say? Did you ask him?

I mean, I would have been so curious. Yeah, I asked him, and he said, he was like, it's a secret. And, like, in a joking way, but I'm like, I'm sitting right next to you. Okay, well, I'll just tell you, Megan, that we weren't aware that that happened, that there was anything going on between Logan and the waitress. Yeah, we didn't call her on another line. Something that you're not aware of, probably, unless you have a really good sixth sense, is that Logan has been listening quietly on the other line this entire time.

He's on the other line, Brooke. And he wants to talk to you with his voice. Oh, no. Are you serious? It's a good thing. Megan, hi. Oh. He wants to sing it to you, I guess. Megan, this is your chance to get the bottom of what was going on.

Yeah, I'm, like, pulling my hair out here. I feel like I'm in a bumper car, and I'm focused going forward, and then I just get, bam, hit from the side. Oh! So many analogies from Logan. Vivid imagination. But let's bring it back to, let's talk about the notes that you were passing with the waitress, Logan.

I am floored. I am such an idiot. I cannot believe that I didn't pick up on that that looked bad. I literally, I thought it was neat to just be like, oh, here comes the waitress. We're including her in the game for a second. Get the whole restaurant passing notes to

each other. All I wrote was like playing a note game with my date. What's good or what's your favorite? And she wrote shrimp taco. And you fist bumped over shrimp tacos? And she laughed over that note? I said I was like faux show or something like a little job i was like faux show shrimp st or something and she goes she goes yes

favorite and then i was like done how much did she write okay well do you believe him again yeah i was not getting the vibe that this was something like fun and it was a game that the whole restaurant could have been involved in. I mean, you made it seem to me like you were trying to improve yourself and you were trying to prove to me that, you know, you had interest in me and you wanted to kind of get to know me better. That's what I got. So it's just, your actions did not make sense to me. I should have showed you the note.

I thought I was being cute when I was like, Oh, it's a secret. Like to me, it didn't mean anything. You can ask these wonderful radio personalities. We talked about the date thoroughly. Not once did I even consider the waitress as being anything. That's because you were hiding, Logan, that you secretly got her phone number on one of the notes. Oh, that's an accusation, Jeff. Jeff, I mean, it's what a lot of people were thinking.

Be honest, Logan. Did you get the waitress's number? Absolutely not. I mean, would she have given it to me if I asked? Probably. Oh, so there was a vibe. Are you trying to make her jealous? What are you doing?

Why would you say that? I was trying to be charming, and I thought if this other girl was giggling, I thought it was points for me. Like, oh, people like him. Clearly I was wrong. Don't charm other women when you're on a date. You guys know me.

I'm a charismatic, charming guy. Bro, you and I have the same curse. We make everyone we talk to laugh. And sometimes it backfires. I don't know why she laughed at that. Megan, I know that this is a lot coming at you, but from my perspective, it's just like you're going out with a guy who's just very charming to a lot of people naturally. Very likable. What do you say?

One more date with Logan on us. Yes. I get where you're coming from. Like, I would rather have a guy be super charismatic and funny and kind of have everybody like him rather than being a dork that, you know, doesn't have any confidence. Or boring. You could have said that. I think that was a compliment. You two may be made for each other. Yeah.

So, what do you say? It's happening. I think I'll do it. Let's go out again. All right. Wow. Guys, thank you so much. I think I'll do it. Let's go out again. All right. Okay. Wow. Guys, thank you so much.

Yeah. It takes a team. It takes a village. And you guys are my true ones there. That's not a brag. It takes a village to get me a date. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's been months since we came through for Logan.

And now he's back again with megan so that they can give us an update on their lives what's up you two is it weird to hear your old second date call being played again yeah it's so weird to think yeah are you happy megan that you gave him another chance or are you calling to tell us that it didn't work out you know it's funny because our friends and family members all heard the podcast of it and they just couldn't believe that we actually did a date like that. Oh, yeah.

Where you pass the notes back and forth. Exactly. They were like, did you seriously do that? And I'm like, of course. Actually, since then, we have a little tradition now that we do once a month. A tradition? What tradition?

So, yes, we pass notes and kind of relive that first experience that we had together. Thank you. And, you know, he's actually kind of hot when he's not talking. Oh. Oh, wow. I've dated a lot of guys like that. That sounds awful.

Yeah. No, I mean, you know what I mean. Okay. I do. Those are your hotness days. No, I do. Wait, so the relationship is good then? Yeah. Yeah. The quiet nights have been great. Except for there was a little incident.

I was, um, I went to the bathroom and this guy was in the bathroom and there was something going on with him. I don't know. I thought he was having a heart attack. Oh my gosh. Yeah. It ended up being just something minor. But at the time I was like, I need to go assist in this or I need to let people know. And I rushed over to her and I'm like, OK, follow the rules. So I grabbed a piece of paper and I'm scribbling down as fast as I can. Like, man, in trouble, in bathroom. I think you can break the rules, my friend.

Right. That's what she said. She goes, just tell me what's going on. I was like, oh, OK, well, the guy in there, I think he's having an argument. I can't tell you it's going to ruin our date. I'm trying to be romantic. He should have just broken the silence faster. I mean, if any people are watching this that really want to try the same thing we did,

just break the silence. If there's an emergency, get help. You know, these are those PSAs that you're like, I can't believe that has to be said. Yeah. Although Logan was not as hot when he told her that there was an emergency. It was much hotter when he wrote it down. I mean, duh. Yeah.

Well, it sounds like you guys are happily still together. Yeah, we are. We love it. Keep us updated on your lives, okay? Yeah, we will. Text in 78592 if you want to be on the next edition of Second Date Update. You can end up like Logan and Megan. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
