D
All right, before we get to your number six. Oh my gosh. Number six. Second date of 2025.
A
That's crazy. We're here already.
D
I just want to say thank you for all the wonderful comments. You all are are leaving. You know, some people are like, ah, this one should have Been number one. So we'll see how you feel about number six today.
E
Yeah, we appreciate you fighting in the comments.
C
I also appreciate the not wonderful comments, too. Those are fun to read.
D
Plenty of those.
C
But for second day today, there is a famous saying from Thomas the Tank Engine. I think you all know what I'm talking about.
D
Is this the philosopher that you love?
E
I think I can.
C
One, no. One wrong switch and the whole train's off the track.
A
Wow.
E
Never saw that episode.
C
That's a wise. That's a wise dream.
E
Yeah, I didn't read that book.
C
Meaning all it takes is one tiny hiccup to completely ruin your plans for the day. And that's exactly what happened to one of our listeners during a great date where one minute he's running outside of a girl's apartment to move his car. Next minute he's on a city bus miles away headed in the wrong direction. You'll hear how it went so wildly off track in your number six. Second date update of the year right now. Second date update. On this show, we talk about us being foodies quite a bit.
D
Yeah, we love our food.
E
I'm eating right now.
A
Yes.
D
He's not lying. Yeah, literally.
C
Because everyone here is hungry constantly.
F
Yeah.
C
But if there's two single foodies out there, where's the best place for them to meet up?
D
Like, to meet for the first time or to go on the first date?
C
Like, how about at a local food fair? Yeah. Two tongues dancing together over one fried gator kebab.
D
Put that in the description. Description. Send them. Your date idea.
C
Sounds like love to me.
E
But you're trying to go end to end on this gator stick.
C
I bring up food fairs because that's where one of our listeners met a fellow foodie recently. His name is Paul. So, Paul, welcome to the show.
B
Hey, thank you so much for helping me.
D
The best part about being someone who loves food is it's so easy to have conversation, Right?
A
Yeah.
D
You always have something to talk about, good or bad. Yeah.
C
Like, even if you don't like something.
B
No, absolutely no. I. In fact, I. I met Taylor at a street fair.
D
Oh, okay.
C
Okay. So her name is Taylor. And how did you two, like, strike up a conversation? Paint the picture for us.
B
All right, well, we were. We were in line for the Korean corn dogs and just started chatting.
E
The cheesy ones with the corn on the outside, they looks like the corn. It's. But it's cheese.
B
It's beyond description. And the taste was insane. Oh, my God.
D
Now, this is my new Summer goal to seek out.
C
Write that down, listeners. Korean corn dogs are where real love happens, dude.
D
Okay, and so you and Taylor are in line together. Is that how you struck up a conversation?
B
Yeah, because she was behind me, so we just started chatting about that, and then other things we had had, and then we kind of hit it off, and then we walked the whole fair.
F
What?
E
That's awesome.
D
So you guys are both there by yourselves?
B
Yeah, I was just there for me, but Taylor was there with her sister and her sister's kids, so it was.
D
Easy to split off.
A
Yeah, she was thankful.
D
Yeah, exactly. That's so cute. So you're walking the fair together, eating your Korean corn dogs. I mean, this sounds like a great day. Yeah.
E
Sounds like a Korean soap opera.
D
Yeah.
C
Like, what did you guys connect over?
B
She let me choose the next place, and I happened to pick the exact one she wanted to go. And we kept doing that back and forth where we were almost, like, completing each other's menus as we walked along.
E
Where it's like, no way I was gonna. I wanted to go there.
D
How much did you eat? Maybe she's in a food coma still. That's why she's not calling you back.
B
I did have the sweats, but I tried my best to tamp, but that's.
E
The goal, is to get the sweat slightly out of Food fair.
C
I'm sure she had it, too.
D
Yeah, that's everything. Okay. Okay.
C
Okay. So was this your date? Like, just hanging out at the food fair, trying stuff together?
B
No, what I did is I. We kind of parted ways, but I said that I wanted to bring her food from my favorite restaurant.
A
Oh.
C
Yeah.
A
Please tell me a different day after all this food.
C
You know, what you want is more food.
E
It's not same day.
C
Please.
B
No, it was not. It was. It was the next day.
D
That is a thoughtful thing to do.
A
Yeah.
E
I think anybody who likes to cook or just feed anybody else, that's just.
D
Like, such a good gesture, and it's his love language. How did that go?
B
Yeah, Well, I mean, the food I knew was going to be a home run because I had some cannolis.
E
Those are the best.
D
And you hand delivered them?
B
Hand delivered. It was handmade by an old Italian guy handed to me. I handed it to her.
C
Like, handed it directly into her mouth.
B
Yes, I wish.
E
She's like, I can taste the Italian.
F
Yeah.
D
Did you, like, stay for a day or you just dropped it off and drove off?
E
That's a good question.
B
No, I wanted to stay longer, but the place where I had Parked had, like, weird signs, and I. I think I was, like, in a toe zone, and I really had kind of a short window.
D
And there wasn't any way you could just move your car?
B
Yeah, actually, I tried to move the car because I told her I'd be back. Oh.
C
Oh. Just to go move it somewhere else and then come back and finish your cannolis.
D
Didn't you come back?
B
No, I got to.
F
What?
C
Wait, What?
E
Wait, you got owed?
B
Yeah, I had to deal with all that, and so I was just hoping to bounce out, bounce back. But here I am, I'm trying to get the car off the wrecker, and the guy's not even listening to me.
D
They'll never take it off. They act like it's some law, and I call bs. I'm sorry. I have argued with too many tow truck drivers. As soon as the wheels are uplifted.
F
Off the ground, we can't do anything.
E
I bet you if you gave him, like, 100 bucks.
D
I have tried.
E
Oh, really?
C
They are really stubborn, but excellently soft lips, so. Right. So you weren't able to get your car off the toe?
B
No, I wasn't.
C
Dude, what did you do?
D
Then they impound it, then you have to go to the impound place, then you have to have cash. It all sucks.
C
Well, no, what did you do about Taylor?
D
Oh, sorry.
C
I'm done with the car.
E
Is not like being towed.
B
So I'm texting her, telling you that I'm going to come back, and then now, next thing you know, I'm on a bus to go Kit.
E
Wait. To go get your car?
D
Did you not tell her that your car got towed?
B
No, I thought I could just get the car and come back like nothing had happened, but.
D
Rookie mistake. Yeah, that's.
E
That's just like Murphy's Law, right?
D
Oh, man. So, wait, did you ever make it back there at all?
B
No, I didn't. I just told her that I'd hit her up.
D
No wonder she's not.
C
Yeah, she feels like you, like, ditched her in the middle of the day.
D
Did you ever explain.
B
Yeah, I told her I'd explain it on our next date, but it didn't sound like she was interested.
D
I mean, I totally get your circumstances and why you wouldn't want to say anything, but to her, it's probably a red flag. Yeah, that you're that unreliable.
C
Red flag's also a sign you shouldn't park in that area. Usually it's blocked off. So how long has it been since your mishap with Taylor and The cannolis.
B
It's been like a week.
C
Oh, no.
D
We have to get you a second date so that that $600 or whatever it was to get your car out of inbound was actually worth it.
E
Also, did she eat the cannolis? How good were they? This is the best restaurant you've ever been to.
C
You know, I really like how Brooke is super focused on the money. Jose's really focused on the food. Alexis, I'm not sure if she's paying attention.
D
I'm focused on tick tock, tick tock.
C
Okay, at least you're focused on something.
E
We're gonna do something.
C
We're gonna get some answers for everybody when we come back and do your second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update. One of the most tragic stories we have ever heard on this segment about a lonely cannoli sitting on a plate, crying.
D
Yes, Jeff.
C
Waiting for a warm mouth to bite into it, swallow it, and help fulfill its culinary destiny.
E
I feel like this is a children's movie. An animated cannoli.
D
We don't think she just ate two. It's possible I would have.
C
We don't know because our listener Paul never returned to eat his cannoli and finish his date with Taylor because his car got towed.
D
So wild.
C
And we all feel bad for Paul, but that cannoli. Oh, my God, what a trap.
D
It is so crazy to sit down at a person's house to share a meal with them, go to move your car and then never return.
A
Yeah.
E
You know, and keep telling him, I'll be back. I'll be back in a second.
D
Yeah.
E
Never show.
C
But at least, like Jose said, he was texting her, trying to keep her informed on what was going on.
D
Vaguely. He was going to tell her the whole story on their next date. That just never happen.
C
Yes. So we're going to try to make that happen for him. Hopefully get redemption for Paul, but more importantly for that cannoli.
D
Yeah.
C
Paul, you ready for this?
B
I'm absolutely ready, everybody.
E
Hashtag Team Cannoli. If you're posting on Social.
D
I bet she cried into those cannoli.
C
Crinoli.
D
Yeah, it's a crinoli.
C
Only one way to find out is by dialing her number right now. We'll see if she picks up. Here we go.
G
Hello?
C
Hey, we're looking to talk to Taylor.
G
This is she. May I ask who's calling?
C
Yes, you may. We're a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
D
Hi, Taylor. Hey.
G
Hi.
B
Hi.
D
Whole show's here for you.
C
Yeah, Good morning. We're all wanting to talk to you about, actually, a date that you went on recently with one of our listeners, a guy named Paul.
G
Oh, wait. Okay. I think I know what this is.
F
You do?
G
I think I've seen you guys on social media.
D
Oh, that's awesome.
A
Hey, thanks.
D
Did you like and follow.
E
Smash that subscribe button?
F
That's right.
A
She just undid it.
C
Now she, like, uninstalled TikTok forever listening to it. But yeah. This is a second date update, and we know that you and Paul met at a food fair recently and you had a brief hangout with him the week after that didn't go quite according to plan.
D
I think it was the next night. Yeah.
G
Yeah, it was weird. It was gross.
D
Oh, gross, Gross.
E
What was gross?
G
Not the food. Not the food. Just the.
C
Oh, the situation.
D
Well, it makes sense why you'd be upset. Upset for sure.
C
Yeah. Because we're aware that things were left on kind of a weird note because he said he was leaving to go move his car. It was supposed to be real quick and he'd come back, but he never. He never did.
G
He told me that he had to grab something out of his car.
D
Okay, well.
E
Well, I think he's doing okay. Something and then move it.
D
The truth is, he had to move it.
C
Yeah.
A
Yeah.
D
And he didn't do a very good job of explaining what happened next.
G
No, he didn't, because he never told me that.
E
Yeah.
A
Which we don't know why, but, you know.
D
Yeah, Well, I think he was hoping to explain in person because he was pretty embarrassed.
C
Yeah. So there's a lot of. Sorry, go ahead.
G
I don't know. I appreciated him bringing me dinner, but. Yeah, he was definitely in a different state of mind. Like, the whole situation was pretty weird.
A
What do you mean?
D
The whole situation of him leaving was pretty weird. Was there something weird before?
G
Yeah, I mean, he was definitely different than he was the day before. Like, he sat down, he was checking his phone. He seemed, like, rushed, nervous, maybe a little hungry.
C
Wanting to eat that cannoli because he was really looking forward to sharing it with you. He made that very clear to us. Do you think maybe nerves played into it at all?
G
So I think I know what the real story is, and that's why I'm actually not responding to him.
D
Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. What do you think the real story is?
G
Well, I mean, I was cleaning up after he left, and I found the receipt still on the bag that he brought, and it was a name and address. So, like a completely different street. Like a delivery going somewhere.
E
Oh, my gosh. Did he accidentally take someone's to go? Like, I've almost done that.
C
The cannoli order wasn't for him.
E
Maybe not.
G
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. He must have stole the meal from, like, an Uber Eats driver or something.
E
Come on.
D
Okay, stop, stop. That is such an accusation.
G
Seriously, explain the receipt with all the different information. And then he's like, we'll be back in 10 minutes. I'll be back in 20.
C
Yeah, well, we should find out right now because. Paul, are you there?
B
Yeah, I'm here.
C
Taylor. He's actually been on the other line listening, wanting to talk to you.
G
Oh, God.
C
Paul.
G
Taylor.
B
Taylor, I promise you, I did not steal that from an UberEats driver.
E
Where'd the receipt come from then?
D
There's probably a mix up.
B
I am an UberEats driver.
A
What?
C
What?
G
Oh, what?
E
Wait, still doesn't explain it.
D
I don't get it.
G
You tell me that.
B
I. I just didn't. It was gonna come up eventually, but I just didn't really know how to say it, and I was just more interested in the food and your reaction to the food.
D
Wait, but why was the receipt to somebody else? Paul, did you not order the food? It doesn't matter if you're an Uber Eats driver or not.
B
The order was. Was for somebody else, and they had canceled, and so I had the food, and so I.
E
Did they really cancel then? Cancels?
F
No one.
G
I ate someone else's cannoli.
D
You would cancel if your Uber's taking a long time because he stopped at someone's house. Wait, so wait, I thought your car got towed. I thought that was the whole thing.
B
No, look, I didn't. For the show. I just thought it would sound better if my car got towed to us.
D
Bro, you were laughing. Then you left because you had to finish a shift. It's on your own time, though.
A
It's Uber.
D
Yeah, but if you have food in the car that you have to drop off at somebody's house.
E
Alexis, he stole the food, dropped it off at her house, and he's like.
A
Had more orders in the car.
C
Oh, you had to finish another order?
B
I didn't think it was going to be that busy that night, but my phone just kept blowing up and I just kept getting delivery after delivery on.
G
So many different levels.
B
Because, look, I'm not on apps and I. And I don't really date a whole lot, and I don't really meet people that really set me off. Like the way you Did. When we met at the food fair, I was, like, on another world. And so just to have an opportunity, even if it was just short, to spend any time with you, for me, was worth anything, including just a small lie.
G
That sounds really sweet, but, like, I. I can't see someone who has lied to me so many times. Like, upon meeting.
C
Taylor, Are you forgetting the gift of the delicious Cannoli that was 100 free?
G
Someone else's cannoli.
E
And those things aren't cheap, all right? Those are expensive treats.
B
Taylor, you have to admit that a cannoli was amazing.
G
Can you deny that it was amazing? But the rest of it is just too weird for me just to help.
D
My boy Paul needs to apologize. He lied. From the moment the food got there, he lied to us. He lied to her about why he left.
C
Like, I support him lying to us, but the other stuff, that's not okay.
B
I just. If I could just apologize. And I'm sorry for putting anyone through this, but I really just want a second chance. And if I could take you out and really, really show you who I am, I really believe this can be a thing.
C
Did you hear that, Taylor? He's inviting you onto his next UberEats shift.
D
Which is actually super helpful because if.
A
One person runs the orders out and the other stays in the car so.
D
You don't have to find park, I. It's nice all the free food samples.
C
That you want to eat together, too.
G
Yeah, that does not sound very enticing to me.
C
Well, I'm going to ask an unpopular question here, Taylor. Do you have a problem dating an Uber Eats driver?
G
Oh, well, no, of course not, but an Uber Eats driver who has lied to me and bed very, like, mysterious, fishy strains like.
B
Yeah, look, then fine. I'm gonna be 100% honest with you. I stole someone's food and I gave it to you, and you ate it, so you're an accessory.
C
Well, that has to be refreshing to get that kind of honesty, Taylor.
G
Wow, that is refreshing.
E
Oh, good.
G
Yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna have to go.
C
Well, before you go, I just need to ask you if you'd like to meet up with Paul one more time, maybe on that Uber Eats route? I'm assuming it's a yes.
G
I don't know how else to say it, but that's a giant no.
B
Okay.
D
Did the little Italian place get a new customer?
G
Never eating at cannoli ever again.
C
Oh, you can't spell no without cannoli.
E
There we go. Yeah, you can focus.
C
Wait, you can't spell cannoli without no.
D
Yeah, you can spell can though. I'm gonna start spelling no as cannoli.
C
Darn it. Well, sorry Paul.
E
That's a cannoli from her.
A
It's a.

Honesty always the best policy?
D
Oh my God. It just like honestly, any honesty would be a good policy. Just even an ounce of it.
C
Jeff well Paul was honest at the end there and admitted that he stole the cannoli from somebody else and even that wasn't enough to win her.
D
Don't get credit for being honest after you lied, lied, lied and then got caught 15 minutes of lies later.
C
He did lie to us multiple times before that and you should know we don't like to be lied to. No, we like to be lied on. Am I right Brooke?
D
You know what the mess up. I actually still really liked Paul. I hope Paul fixes his line issue because I think that he sounded like a good guy.

Date: December 22, 2025
Episode Theme:
The episode brings listeners one of the "best" Second Date Update calls of the year—a comedic, cringeworthy tale about food, miscommunication, and one extremely unlucky cannoli. Paul enlists the hosts to help reconnect with Taylor after a date gone awry, unraveling a web of quirky food love, white lies, and one major misunderstanding about a sweet Italian dessert.
Brooke, Jeffrey, and the team revisit their sixth favorite Second Date Update of 2025, retelling the infamous "Lonely Cannoli" saga. The episode revolves around Paul, a self-described foodie, and his failed attempt to woo Taylor after their serendipitous food fair meeting. What starts as a culinary connection quickly derails—first by unexpected logistics (and a supposed towed car), then by the revelation of a much juicier fib.
“Lonely Cannoli” captures everything beloved about Second Date Update: lovable awkwardness, escalating misunderstandings, and a dash of absurdity. Paul’s fibs—over a humble Italian dessert—led him not just off the foodie track, but out of luck with Taylor. The cannoli remains lonely, and the audience is left amused, if a little hungry.
