Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Second Date Update. Normally, when we hear about amazing first dates on this show, it's this big elaborate tale that went to multiple locations and lasted across several days. Yeah, cost tons of money. Yeah, because the two of them just, you know, couldn't bring themselves to walk away from each other.

Oh, wow. But is it possible to have a life changing first date that only lasts 30 minutes? Oh, I mean, a first something. Is it possible to have a life-changing first date that only lasts 30 minutes? Oh. I mean, a first something. For me, I can squeeze one life-changing date in in 30 seconds. That's what I'm saying. Because I'm efficient. I knew you guys were going to do that. But it's not about me.

Jeff gets us. It's about Connor, because he's on the phone right now, and I just hope that we can help him. Connor, what's good, man? Hey, thanks for having me. I know the way you set that up makes me sound really extra yeah you sound pretty extra and dramatic for sure connor do you not stand by jeff's statement i mean look i mean if i'm on this show i have to be at least a little bit i normally wouldn't do this but look i just met this girl and i've never caught feelings for somebody

this quick and i feel like if i don't do everything I can to at least try to figure out why I'm not hearing back from her, then I'm doing myself a disservice. Okay. That's true. You got to learn and grow. Yeah. Exactly. So tell us about this woman who just changed your life.

What's her name? Her name is Renee. Okay. And how'd you meet her? The most romantic way possible. Online, of Renee. Okay. And how'd you meet her? The most romantic way possible, online, of course. Yeah. I mean, did you know when you saw her online that she was like, I mean, you're describing her as something incredible, right?

Yeah. Like, I don't believe in like love at first sight or anything, like lust at first sight for sure. This was something like almost in between, if that makes sense. That's a good place to live. What did you love so much about her? was something like almost in between if that makes sense that's a good place to live what what did you love so much about her i saw her picture and you know obviously that caught my attention she's gorgeous but the thing i could like quite place my finger on is like she just reminded me of someone

like i don't know mom yeah oh that tends to be how it goes i thought he's gonna go with a celebrity yeah not a mom okay who was it not even a celebrity, Jeff. Yeah. Not a mom. Okay. Who was it? Not even a celebrity, but I think the closest I can think of is like she kind of reminds me of like this friend I had from college. So it's like almost like just seeing her made me feel sort of like connected to her. Oh, okay. Like a familiar face.

Yeah. There was like comfort there already. Yeah. So I reached out and I was like, hey, are you this person by chance? And she said no and you know we got to talking and eventually we started talking over the phone and you know like the first phone call when you meet someone online it's like always awkward you never know if you don't have the same kind of like chemistry you might have just texting or whatever but right

immediately felt comfortable talking to her and the conversation was really good so i took it as a sign i asked her out and she said yes and where do we ask her out to i decided to take her to one of my favorite bakeries i figured like you know low pressure first date that's brilliant a bakery date it smells good everyone's happy in a bakery relatively low cost but it's also like a first date without alcohol i don't mean to be terrible but it's like things for me I just get nervous

and I need like there's just something about sitting down with a glass of wine or something with someone that just kind of

takes the edge off like daytime bakery it's a little more bogus or friend like so tell us about your friend like boring sober bakery

I don't think sober is bad. Just for me, it is. How was it for you? I'll have you know that wine can't take the edge off nearly as good as my favorite bakery's amazing maple bars. So we have that going for us. Okay. I can get behind that. You're starting to sell me.

What was it like when you first saw her? Was she everything that you were hoping she'd that. Oh, yeah. You're starting to sell me. What was it like when you first saw her? Like, was she everything that you were hoping she'd be? Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, when you meet someone online, like, they show up looking half as good as the picture. You consider yourself lucky. She looked even better. So I was like, oh. So at least I know she's also honest, which was really nice.

Okay. So first impression is good. How did the actual conversation and the date go? I thought it went really well. So before we even started to sit down and talk, I was like, hey, you have to try these maple bars. Kind of my move, you know, show them I've got good taste. And also, like, who isn't in a better mood when you're having something that's warm and sweet and doughy? She's like, well, I'm kind of diabetic.

And you're like, no, you have to try the maple bars. Was she into it? Yeah, she said it was delicious. We we sat down had a little bit of coffee you know just like very first conversation stuff but it flowed very well yeah like what would you guys talk about oh you know like favorite movies and books that type of stuff okay i gotta say you know jeff set this up as a woman that like changed your life in 30 minutes but so far i, I mean, it sounds like a good date. But was there something like exceptional about it? Oh, so it's not exceptional enough to Brooke so far.

This sounds like something like Brooke and I would go do. Yeah, it just sounds like a normal good first date. You know how rare a normal good first date is, Brooke? Stop trying to downplay it. Okay, so that's what it is. I mean, I'm just asking like the exceptional part like what blew you out of the water well here's the thing like the whole thing was maybe 40 minutes tops but like in that 40 minutes like i thought we had like a good connection and you

know we started talking about like future ambitions which is something i often don't talk about with someone until like the fourth or fifth date you know like i told her how i eventually want to be like a master french chef that's kind of my dream that i'm pursuing who specializes in french maple bars but i'm assuming i would date him for a while just based on that alone give me a cordon bleu and she seemed really supportive awesome and 40 minutes i mean that's not a very long date but but it sounds like it went well. How did you end it? Gave her a hug and said, I had a really great time. I'd like to see her again.

And maybe it ended on an awkward note. I'm not sure. I made a joke that I hope she didn't take the wrong way. She was leaving and said, wait, you're not going to pay me for the maple bar? And she kind of looked at me for a second. And I said, no, I'm just joking. She laughed. You owe me 46 cents, lady.

It could go either way. All right. So in your email, you told us that you've been texting and calling her, but she's not answering anything. Yeah. And, you know,

I'm an adult. I know what that means, but I don't know if it's like something I can salvage or if at the very least learn to not do on a future date.

Okay. Yeah. Well, the good news is you don't have to salvage it. That's our job. That's right. We'll play a song. We're going to call Renee for you and get you your second date update right after this.

Salvage date update. Okay. Yeah, fingers crossed. All right. We'll do it right after this. Hold on. Second date update. We're in the middle of a second date update with Connor,

who says he doesn't really believe in love at first sight. But something he clearly does believe in is love at first bite. That's a good point. Yo, what's that sound effect about? Because he took Renee to a bakery where they make the most decadent, creamy, moist, mouth-watering, homemade maple bars his oral cavity has ever seen. I think donut sales just shot up around the world. I'm about to make that sound you just played. The whole thing.

Thinking about it. Please don't, yeah. We can't afford to lose any more listeners. Sounds so good. The whole thing only lasted about 40 minutes, he says, but that was all he needed to know that there's something special happening with him and Renee. Connor, is it possible that the maple bar was so good, it put

Renee into a week-long food coma? And she just needs a little more time to come out of it and finally respond to you. I mean, if that's the explanation, then I'll be happy to know about it. Okay. I'm just saying, there's optimism over here. You know, my thought is, I don't know if you feel this, Connor, is that maybe just she found a couple other dudes to date.

A couple? I mean, thanks for putting such a positive spin on this before we make the call. She's 34 men now. Sorry, bro. I think we can come back from that. I thought that was a positive thing. Oh, really? Oh, yeah.

That's what you meant. She probably has a lot of options because she sounds like a unicorn, and she just doesn't realize how great you are, and that's where we come in, to really sell Connor. What Brooke means is you're one of ten, and they probably gave her booze. Isn't that the truth? I mean, let's be honest. Before we do any more positive talk with Connor,

let's just move on and call Renee and actually get the answer. Are you ready to do this, man? Let's do this. All right. Here we go. I'm dialing your number right now. Hello? Hey, is this Renee?

This is she. May I ask who's calling? You may ask. Yes. And I ask and i will answer in five minutes why don't you just answer her i'd like to set it up you're on the radio right now with brooke and jeffrey in the morning i'm jeff if that wasn't super clear and i'm brooke and i'm jeff i don't know anymore i don't sorry i don't like i don't know anymore. Sorry, I don't know your show. We're totally kidding. We're like a comedy show.

We're quirky and weird. I'll just get to it because we're doing something right now called the Second Date Update and we're looking to help one of our listeners, Connor, get back in touch with you. Hey, now she's laughing. Have you heard our podcast or are you last laughing wait wait wait you talked to him yeah wait he doesn't know he doesn't know what doesn't know what i i i honestly

like i don't know what to say other than he is the most clueless guy in the entire world like i told all my friends about our date and they all told me that i should like post it on tiktok because it's just so your friends like we're talking about a 30 minute coffee date at a bakery he didn't mention anything crazy when we spoke to him is that the same connor it's the same it's. But maybe I'm going to paint you the picture because it's ridiculous. Okay. Three and a half years ago, maybe even like four, honestly, I was on a different dating app. Okay.

Where this guy hit me up and he invited me to go to a bakery. Okay. So at the bakery, this person like insisted I try these amazing maple bars, whatever. And we talked about like our favorite movies and books and guess who that person was guess the name of that person shut up don't tell me it's connor wait it's the same dude so yes i have been out with connor the same connor you're talking about on the exact same bakery date three and a half years ago. Wait, when did you realize it was the same guy from three years prior? Like when we

matched. How do you not remember going on a date with someone? Why did you go through with it then? If you knew you had already been on a date with this guy three years ago, why did you continue? Because I genuinely thought it was a joke and that when we like got there he'd be like we're not actually going here again oh you thought he was setting you up to be like okay because you thought he remembered too i i just went along with it it was the second time at least better seriously both dates it was the exact same conversation like i already know his favorite book slaughterhouse five his favorite movie shauna the dead you have a good memory i i even know also about his five

year plan to become a master french cook or whatever but clearly he hasn't made much progress because that was three and a half years ago french cooking is hard to master though he's got a year and a half left oh one more thing the first time that we did go on our date he ghosted me so wait i was gonna wait three years ago he ghosted you and this time he has i mean he's describing you as like this amazing woman that he can't let get away yeah and don't just take it from us connor is actually on the other line listening and wants to tell you himself isn't that right con Connor? You're joking. This can't be real.

Seriously, Connor, Connor, how many women have you taken to that bakery over the years? Like 300, 400? Oh, my gosh. Look, it's not that many, but it's my favorite first date spot. Wait, but you even made the same joke. Like, you made the same, like, made the same like are you gonna pay me back for that maple bar joke you did that the first time connor you don't remember her at all look i told you guys i knew she seemed familiar i thought it was a college friend but there's a difference

between familiarity and like actually like our first date we spent time together wow i i hate to ask this but are you sure it was me you were on a date with connor is your favorite movie sean of the dead 100 positive is that your favorite movie bro sean of the dead i mean yeah it's not even a good joke. This is when you start apologizing, buddy. Like, she's mad. You ghosted her the first time, and then you didn't even remember her the second time. Like, it's kind of insult to injury.

I mean, look, I'm not trying to make excuses for myself, but three and a half years ago was a long time. I've matured a lot since then as i'm sure a lot of people have i'm older i'm wiser i apologize since very much so um look i josted you i'm so sorry i was clearly an idiot then i'm clearly an idiot now well the fact that he had the wherewithal to reach out to a radio station to reach out to you shows the personal growth

that he's made in that time. I mean, it was an honest mistake. Yeah, no, I get that. I'm just, I'm kind of like over it. Like at this point, like I'm nervous. I think you're being a little bit too judgmental because you're hungry

and what you need is another maple bar. I'm not judging you. Don't call a woman hangry. A third maple bar will do it. I think so. I think if you get another maple bar in that mouth, you're going to see what a great guy Connor is. And we'd like to put that maple bar in there and send you on another date. I'll just say, Renee, I am terrible at remembering faces.

Yeah, but it's not even about that. It was the exact same date. It was the exact same date. It was the exact same conversation. Yeah, but it's like a movie that you love so much you just want to watch it over and over again. Yeah, it's like a notebook. Yeah. It's actually nothing like that, though. I still think you should give him another shot.

And this time he can do a totally different place. A whole new conversation. He'll ask about your favorite exercise activity. What? Connor? Yeah, I mean, third time's the charm. All right. Oh, there you go.

That's why they say that. That's not a really strong argument. It's a yes from Connor. Renee, what do you say? I wish you nothing but the best, Connor. But, like, I don't want to ghost you the way you ghosted me, so I'm just going to tell you straight up that I'm not interested. Okay.

Connor, how are you doing now? I mean, hopefully three and a half years from now she'll forget about this and we can try again. Set an alarm, buddy. We'll be here for you. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Man, thinking back, that first date had so many positives to it. Wait, which first date? The first first one?

Yeah. The first one we just talked about. Okay, maybe I should clarify. That second date had so many positives. Or maybe to clarify again, that first and second date had so many positives. Now you're losing me. Coffee, maple bars, aspirations of French cooking. And I guess women are just so picky now.

They don't want to go on the same date twice. Even if it is three years apart. Did you not listen to her at all? Not really. And does anyone else not believe him on the French cooking thing? It's like his shtick to sound exotic and sexy. It does sound really cool. Everybody has that one big goal though that they know they're never going to achieve.

It's just nice to say it. Yeah. The big goal isn't so hot. Okay. Like you want to become a French chef. But yeah, we weren't able to get them to go out on another date. The worst part about it though is after that whole thing, we never ask the name of the bakery where they make those maple

bars. Oh, you're right! I do want to try them, but I also feel like he's taken a lot of first dates there, so they must not be that good. Yeah! Because there wasn't ever any second dates at this place. At the end of all of it, he's like, oh, it's Dunkin' Donuts. We're like, oh, no! We failed on so many levels, and we don't even have

a maple bar so we can eat our feelings. I love maple bars. If anyone wants to drop them off at the studio, that'd be cool. Listen, you're diabetic. I know, I'll just smell them. It's worth it. You can bring us some maple bars

and while you're here, if you want a second date, we might be able to do that too. We call the person who isn't calling you back. 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.

More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention is because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you. Someone else will too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.
