Introduction: Navigating the Nuances of Modern Dating

In this episode of Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update, hosted by iHeartPodcasts, the team delves into the complexities of modern dating, particularly focusing on the unintentional “weird” behaviors that can hinder second dates. The episode centers around Samson’s experience with his date, Carla, exploring how seemingly minor details can significantly impact romantic connections.

Listener Spotlight: Samson’s Story

Samson shares his recent foray back into the dating scene after a hiatus. He recounts his first date with Carla, highlighting both the positive interactions and the unexpected stumbling blocks that arose post-date.

Key Moments:

• Positive First Date Experience:
  Samson describes Carla as “a breath of fresh air” with a commendable personality. Their dinner at a Mexican restaurant was enjoyable, with Carla opting for fajitas, which Samson interpreted as a sign of low-maintenance and genuine compatibility.

  Samson [04:06]: "She was a breath of fresh air, very easy-going... we went to a Mexican restaurant, and all she did was she just ordered the fajitas."

• The Red Flag:
  Despite the promising first date, Samson hasn’t heard back from Carla. His texts receive only "likes" without any substantive responses, leaving him puzzled about the sudden distance.

  Samson [08:24]: "I called her an Uber, and she went home, and I haven't heard from her since. The weird thing, though, is, like, I'll text her, and she'll like my text, but she's not responding."

---

On-Air Intervention: Calling Carla for Clarity

Concerned about Samson’s lack of communication, the hosts decide to reach out to Carla directly on air to uncover the real reason behind her silence.

Conversation Highlights:

• Initial Contact:
  Jeff attempts to connect with Carla, introducing Samson’s predicament and seeking her perspective.

  Jeff [11:28]: "I'm Jeff, and I work on a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning... he's a guy named Andy."

• Carla’s Revelation:
  Carla reveals that her reluctance to respond stems from the overwhelming number of framed photos of Samson in his apartment, which she interprets as a sign of self-absorption.

  Producer Carla [12:12]: "There were 20 of them. It would be difficult to date someone who's already in a committed relationship with himself."

• Samson’s Explanation:
  Samson clarifies that the photos represent significant moments in his life and not vanity. He explains the personal milestones each picture signifies, aiming to portray them as cherished memories rather than narcissism.

  Samson [16:22]: "They're just big moments in my life... like, you mentioned the tigers. Like, that's a trip I took with my parents when we went to Africa."

---

Resolution: Compromise and Understanding

Upon understanding Carla’s concerns, Samson agrees to modify his apartment’s decor to make it more inviting and less self-focused. This gesture demonstrates his willingness to accommodate Carla’s feelings, paving the way for a potential second date.

Final Agreement:

• Samson’s Commitment:
  He agrees to reduce the number of personal photos, opting for a balanced display that still honors his memories without overwhelming the space.

  Samson [18:30]: "I’m totally down. We’ll go out to dinner, then have a redecoration party."

• Carla’s Openness:
  Carla expresses interest in giving the relationship another chance, provided the adjustments are made.

  Producer Carla [18:42]: "I would be interested, but he has to take down some of those."

---

Hosts’ Reflections: Lessons in Effort and Compromise

The hosts reflect on the importance of effort and the willingness to adapt in fostering successful relationships. Jeff emphasizes the value of being open-minded and responsive to constructive feedback, highlighting Samson’s positive approach in addressing the issue.

Notable Insights:

• Jeff on Effort:

  Jeff [20:02]: "They clearly were a great match. And I hope that we do get an update from them soon... You can email the show, call that person who's not calling you back and go check out all of our second dates."

• Alexis on Compromise:

  Alexis [19:24]: "Without even one picture of us hanging up in front of us."

---

Conclusion: Moving Forward in the Dating Scene

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update concludes with a heartening update on Samson and Carla’s budding relationship, underscoring the significance of mutual understanding and adaptability in navigating the dating landscape. The episode serves as a reminder that minor adjustments and open communication can transform initial uncertainties into promising romantic connections.

Notable Quotes:

• Jeff [03:43]: "Today, I really feel, is a lesson in how some people don't realize they're being weird."
• Samson [08:24]: "I’ve been trying to get out on the dating scene a little bit more... women these days, they're so particular on their meals."
• Carla [12:12]: "There were 20 of them. It would be difficult to date someone who's already in a committed relationship with himself."
• Samson [16:37]: "Most guys, you make it seem like I have a big crush on myself."
• Jeff [20:02]: "They clearly were a great match... You can email the show, call that person who's not calling you back and go check out all of our second dates."

[Andy]

All right, we got a brand new second date podcast for you today to start your weekend. Thank you so much for being here. Please, like, subscribe rate, do all the things. And today, I really feel, is a lesson in how some people don't realize they're being weird. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And then what you do with that realization afterwards. So. But before we get into the new second date, what's our favorite comment of the day? Alexis? Oh, I saw one from Samson who said, I love how Jeff stands on business. Nothing throws him off from the mission, regardless of the situation. Get to ask them for another date. And he surely does that. Well, sometimes we get to the end of these and I'm like, why are you asking? It is so obvious that they either hate each other.

[Alexis]

Look, I know why our producer told him when he started in the main host gig, like, you have to always ask of the whole thing. He took that so literally. Literally. It's like a lot of him. Yeah, he like, do we get it? Jeff, let it. Leave them alone.

[Andy]

Hold on.

[Alexis]

Before. I know. He burned your house down.

[Andy]

I know. Literally. It's not a lie. All right, let's get to this second date. Sit back, enjoy, and thanks for being here. It's freaking Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeff]

Second date update. Sometimes you can tell right away if you're romantically compatible with a person. Yeah, Just by how they order at a restaurant.

[Samson]

Oh, my God.

[Alexis]

So attracted.

[Andy]

Oh, suddenly you're talking Jose's love language.

[Jeff]

I know Jose is with me on this. Like, for example, if you're at a fancy steakhouse.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

And they say, yeah, I'll get a side of onion petals, no sauce, and a wedge salad as my main, but with no bacon, no blue cheese. Sorry, can I sub the croutons for quinoa flakes instead? Get out of here. I'm like, can we go ring shopping right now? Because that's the high maintenance dream girl I've always needed in my.

[Andy]

I mean, if you want super hot, that's what you have to put up with. Yeah, well, I know they have to make sacrifices.

[Alexis]

Yeah, they can only have a couple bites of this.

[Andy]

Exactly.

[Jeff]

That's how our listener Andy says he knew his date was just the right girl for him.

[Andy]

Oh, really?

[Jeff]

We'll learn more about it in a second. But first, Andy, welcome to the show. Man, how you doing?

[Samson]

Hey, guys. Thanks for having me, man.

[Andy]

God. Anytime. We open these, Andy. Talking about food, I'm immediately hungry. So I absolutely want to know what was ordered and what restaurant. Everybody, food related items.

[Jeff]

We'll get to all that stuff in just a second. First, let's start with the name of this person, this girl you met. What's she all about?

[Samson]

Well, her name is Carla.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Samson]

And she's awesome. But I've been recently, I've been trying to kind of get out on dating scene a little bit more.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Samson]

Because I was out of the market for a while, and now I'm back in and trying to get the lay of the land.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Samson]

One thing that I've noticed is women these days, they're so particular on their meals. I'm a laid back kind of guy. And it's like, it's super annoying when they're like, hold this and not that. Just get them fish.

[Alexis]

Get the look people do low carb. It's like, hey, no rice. I need veggies.

[Andy]

I was like, people are just more food conscious over both genders. Right.

[Jeff]

It sounds like you're pretty tired of that. Did that happen on your date with Carla?

[Samson]

That's the thing. Not at all.

[Andy]

That's all she had to do.

[Alexis]

She's like, I'll take the blank. And you were like, I love you.

[Andy]

Is that accurate? Yeah.

[Jeff]

How did it go?

[Samson]

She was a breath of fresh air, very easy going. We went to a Mexican restaurant, and all she did was she just ordered the fajitas.

[Andy]

That was it.

[Alexis]

Just like the chicken?

[Andy]

Well, I mean, the fajitas are the ones that you can put together yourself, so you don't even have to ask them for substitutions.

[Alexis]

You have to choose, though, chicken or beef.

[Andy]

Wait a minute. So I mean, already, like, as soon as she orders, does your whole mood change?

[Samson]

Oh, 100%. And I was like, totally into her. And I was like, oh, moving with me now.

[Alexis]

You're kidding. But that's awesome, dude.

[Andy]

Did you tell her about your experiences and how refreshing it was to see her order like that after the fact?

[Samson]

Yes. I don't want to preemptively warn her so that she gets all nervous when she's ordering her food?

[Jeff]

Yeah, all of that sounds great. You got the green flag with the food order. Tell us what about anything else that stood out on the date with Carla?

[Samson]

Oh, I mean, she's cute. She has a great personality. And when she spoke about things, she would literally light up. Like, one of the questions I asked her, I was like, do you think your cat actually likes you or just putting up with you?

[Andy]

I like that question.

[Jeff]

On a date, what'd she say?

[Samson]

She explained, like, how they were, like, best friends, but it wasn't, like, in a corny way. It was in a very great energy kind of way. Just a positive.

[Andy]

Asking someone about their pets is a good move always.

[Jeff]

Okay, that personally lost me for dating Carla, but I'm glad that you and her are on the same page.

[Alexis]

Hold on. You want high maintenance and hate pets?

[Jeff]

Yes. Very low negative energy.

[Alexis]

If you're Jeff's type, text him. I have a feeling we'll get zero.

[Andy]

I think what's going on.

[Jeff]

Sweet.

[Andy]

Is that she lit up about her cat, and you are literally lighting up talking about her.

[Alexis]

Like, awesome.

[Andy]

You sound so excited.

[Alexis]

How'd you mess it up? Like, what did you do?

[Jeff]

Yeah. How did the rest of dinner go?

[Samson]

The rest of dinner was great. We hung out way longer than we should have at the dinner table, and then we decided we didn't want the nightstand, so we ended up kind of going back to my place. We opened up a bottle of wine, and we talked some more. We. We had more conversations. Like, one of them was, like, about, if you wanted to delete one app forever, what would it be? My answer was TikTok. And she was like, no, I want to delete Venmo so I'd never have to pay for anything again.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Andy]

And she's funny, dude.

[Jeff]

Okay, now I'm coming back around on Carla. I'm gonna steal her.

[Andy]

She sounds like a dream.

[Jeff]

Okay, so how did you and Carla leave it that night?

[Samson]

I mean, I didn't want the night to be over, but it was getting late and being respectful, first date, everything. So I called her an Uber, and she went home, and I haven't heard from her since. The weird thing, though, is, like, I'll text her, and she'll like my text, but she's not responding. Like, oh, she reacts.

[Andy]

Are you?

[Samson]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Are you asking a question, or are you just saying hi?

[Samson]

No, also asking a question. Like, oh, I'd love to see you again. When can I take you out again? She'll, like, put a thumbs up, and it's like, okay, well, I guess the thumbs up is good, but I need an answer here.

[Andy]

Oh, that's interesting.

[Jeff]

Unless it's not even her answering, and her cat has the password to her phone and is just getting in there, pawing around, liking your. Your text message.

[Alexis]

Cat's like, emphasize, emphasize, emphasize.

[Samson]

They are best friends.

[Andy]

That is interesting.

[Jeff]

You clearly had A strong connection the first time you hung out. So it's weird that nothing's happened since.

[Alexis]

Legit mystery to me. The time we're like, duh, she's giving.

[Andy]

Like, some positive vibes. It's not like she's.

[Jeff]

That's what scares me. When we call and talk to her. We have to put up with those positive vibes and hopefully get an answer out of her when we come back. And try and get you your second date update right after this. Okay, thanks.

[Samson]

I appreciate you.

[Jeff]

All right, hold on now. Second date update. I only do this maybe a couple times a year, but I'm highlighting this second date as one we have to get.

[Andy]

I would agree with you. This guy is so head over heels.

[Jeff]

Seriously, I'm actually. Compared to all the other calls that we've done this year, I'm actually gonna put effort into this one for our listener.

[Alexis]

Andy, you're not putting an effort on the other ones.

[Andy]

Your body language doesn't say that. You mean your arms crossed. You're sitting back.

[Jeff]

This is my effort mode.

[Andy]

Oh, okay.

[Jeff]

I'm locked. Fall asleep over, cuz. Andy, he's on the phone with us. Andy, you seem like a genuinely good guy. Yes, you do. The way that you described your date, Carla, to us, she seems like a really cool person too, because most guys that we have on here, they just describe how hot their dates bodies are and how they tricked them into spending the night recently.

[Alexis]

I mean, I told her how much I could bench press. I don't know what's going on.

[Jeff]

And while we're all impressed by that stuff, for sure, you actually focused on Carla's personality and her words. So clearly this means a lot to you.

[Samson]

Yeah, that definitely does. And I appreciate the kind words. And I also appreciate the effort as well.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Andy]

The effort from Jeffrey. Yeah, rare people get it, so you should count yourself lucky. What do you think is going on? Why do you think it's been so hard with her?

[Samson]

No clue, to be honest with you. Which is why I reached out to you. Like, it's. We had a great conversation. We had a great time at dinner. We had a great time back in my house.

[Jeff]

Yeah. It's a mystery to all of us, and we're running out of time here, so we need to call her. I'm gonna dial her number right now. Good luck to me. Here we go.

[Andy]

Good luck to me. I think. Good luck to him.

[Jeff]

Well, I'm trying. Wish me luck.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Jeff]

Hello? Hey, is Carla there?

[Producer]

Yeah, this is. See, who is this?

[Jeff]

Hey, Carla.

[Andy]

Hi, Carla.

[Jeff]

Love Your name, by the way. My name is Gross. It's Jeff, and I work on a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Producer]

Okay. Okay.

[Alexis]

Try not to swear.

[Andy]

She sounds like a real sailor when it comes to.

[Alexis]

Well, it's hard for you too, Brooke.

[Andy]

It is.

[Jeff]

And we're not trying to shock you too much, but we're calling as a favor to a really cool new friend of ours. We spoke to him on the phone, and you've met him before. He's a guy named Andy.

[Producer]

Oh.

[Andy]

Oh.

[Alexis]

Whoa.

[Andy]

Interesting.

[Alexis]

That was a negative O. Yeah, I.

[Andy]

Mean, maybe it didn't come out right. You remember Andy, right again.

[Producer]

What is this about? I. I'm just. I. I don't know what this is all about.

[Jeff]

This is a segment we do called Second Date Update.

[Alexis]

It's about your date.

[Jeff]

And Andy, according to him, said that when you guys hung out, it was a lot different than most of the other dates that he's gone on this year in a really good way. So we're just trying to figure out if there's a reason why there hasn't been a second meetup. Because he's really hoping for one.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Producer]

Yeah. I don't know. I. I just. I feel like I probably shouldn't have gone to his apartment.

[Andy]

Gone to his apartment?

[Jeff]

His apartment?

[Andy]

Something.

[Alexis]

He said you guys didn't fool around or anything?

[Jeff]

What was weird about his apartment?

[Producer]

Okay, well, I'll just say this. There were a lot of framed photos.

[Andy]

Huh? Okay. Okay, that's good. Usually. Usually bachelors can't figure out frames and pictures together.

[Alexis]

I bought with a frame, like, already.

[Andy]

That's good. That's good.

[Jeff]

Why were framed photos a red flag to you?

[Producer]

They're framed photos of him. Of Andy.

[Jeff]

Wait, well, I would hope that they would be him in his own apartment.

[Alexis]

No, bro, I'm talking about my artist. It's like the beach.

[Andy]

What do you, like, solo him or him with people?

[Alexis]

Yeah, that's a good question.

[Producer]

Just him.

[Andy]

Just him.

[Producer]

When he graduating? When he's, like, petting a tiger, I think it was.

[Andy]

That's cool.

[Jeff]

Well, what's a red flag about that to you?

[Producer]

There were 20 of them.

[Andy]

Of him.

[Jeff]

Okay, that's a lot.

[Andy]

But listen, he's a solo guy. He lives by himself. And obviously, maybe he just has him up because he wants to remind himself of all the cool places he's been.

[Alexis]

You know, maybe I should put up some stuff.

[Jeff]

So, Brooke, you. You would see this and you would think this is normal.

[Alexis]

20 plus pictures.

[Andy]

20'S a lot. I don't know about normal, but I'm just like. I don't know that it's like, nefarious or means that he's a bad person.

[Jeff]

She didn't say nefarious. She just said it's odd or it's weird.

[Andy]

Well, she used it as a red flag, and it's the reason that she's not calling him back. And I don't know that that's fair. That's all I'm saying. If he's, like, cocky too, but I don't know that he is.

[Jeff]

Oh, yeah. Were there any cocky pictures of him that made you think, wow, this guy's a real jerk for framing.

[Alexis]

That's wrong, Jeff.

[Andy]

Well, I think it's a fair question.

[Jeff]

Self righteous.

[Producer]

Yeah. He had a photo of himself flexing.

[Andy]

Did he have muscles? Did he have muscles? Like, was it good?

[Alexis]

Yeah. Was he ripped?

[Producer]

It was okay at best.

[Andy]

I mean.

[Jeff]

Okay. I mean, we could go into detail and talk about what was inside of all of his photos, but I'm still trying to understand what the underlying problem is.

[Andy]

See, you don't see it as a red flag.

[Jeff]

What is it? He's confident in himself and likes to.

[Alexis]

Having pictures of himself absorbed.

[Andy]

Okay, self absorbed, or you're worried that he doesn't have friends.

[Producer]

I did feel like it was clear to me after being there for half an hour. It would be difficult to date someone who's already in a committed relationship with himself.

[Andy]

Oh, that's fair.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Andy]

Maybe it's that motivational thing people do where you put, like a photo of yourself as a kid in the mirror, but he just has 20 of them.

[Alexis]

Well, he's talking to the graduate. He's talking.

[Andy]

He just came across as such a good guy. I just. That's what we felt.

[Jeff]

But I don't know, maybe we got a totally wrong read on him and he's absolutely obsessed with himself because he is on the other line right now listening in on this conversation, which I guess, in a way is about him.

[Producer]

Oh, my God.

[Jeff]

And he does want to talk to you. Andy.

[Samson]

Hi, Carla. Hi. How are you?

[Producer]

Hi.

[Samson]

Thanks for doing this, Andy. Why?

[Producer]

This is, like, embarrassing for you. I don't want to put you on blast on the radio because I thought.

[Samson]

We had a great time and you weren't necessarily responding back to me, and I didn't know you were gonna be kind of hitting on all the photos of, like, big moments in my life and stuff like that.

[Producer]

Andy, they're everywhere. There's one in the bathroom.

[Andy]

Like, whoa.

[Producer]

It's weird.

[Samson]

Okay. I'M sorry. I don't have very good interior decoration skills, I guess you could say. Most guys, you make it seem like I have a big crush on myself.

[Andy]

That's okay. You could crush on yourself.

[Alexis]

Can we ask, bro? Like, when you were putting up all those pictures, why. Like, why did you put those up?

[Samson]

I don't know. They're just big moments in my life that it's nice that when I'm walking around, be reminded of them. Like, you mentioned the tigers. Like, that's a trip I took with my parents when we went to Africa. Or I do. I do have a shirtless gym selfie on my wall.

[Andy]

Oh, it's a selfie selfie. That's worse.

[Jeff]

Is that the bathroom one? Because I would understand. That would kind of fit. Yeah.

[Andy]

You know.

[Samson]

Like I mentioned before, I've been off the market for a while. I might have gained a lot of weight. And so, like, this is a picture of, like, after I hit my goal weight. Like a milestone type of thing.

[Jeff]

Carl, are you hearing him?

[Producer]

I'm hearing this. I just feel like maybe he could have asked one of his friends, and they're like, is this too many photos?

[Jeff]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Andy]

It sounds like it didn't register with him at all. Like.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Have you ever had anyone else comment about the excessive amount of. Of photos in your apartment?

[Samson]

I don't really. I don't have a lot of people come over, to be honest with you. And I think about decorating with stock Target photos of, like, red succulent plants or whatever.

[Jeff]

Okay, well, let's not hate on people that like to decorate from Target because they have some good stuff.

[Alexis]

You should use a woman's touch. Maybe you two can help each other. I. I was just gonna adjust it a little bit.

[Andy]

Maybe you have a reasonable amount that he should have. Carla, is there a number in your head that's okay? Of course.

[Producer]

Like, three max.

[Samson]

How in the world am I going to choose just three for my life?

[Jeff]

Actually, Andy, I have a good suggestion for you. They have these digital photo frames now where it'll rotate through, like, 500. And you don't have to limit it down.

[Samson]

Okay, I'm definitely open to some options here, but, I mean, some of them need to stay up.

[Andy]

He's taking this in stride. Some people could have gotten really defensive about it.

[Alexis]

Yeah, compromises happen.

[Jeff]

He went through all of this effort just to get in touch with you.

[Andy]

And look at what he could look like. Mean, that gym picture is. She did just say it was okay.

[Jeff]

Well, room for improvement is what I'M hearing, so.

[Samson]

I mean, if you give me a second date, it leads to the third, fourth, 100 dates. Then we can start hanging up pictures of us together.

[Alexis]

Next time is 20 pictures of you.

[Jeff]

So now that you know everything, Carla, you've heard what Andy has to say. Would you consider going out with him again? We would pay for it.

[Producer]

I mean, I feel like he was kind of in the dark about it. Not like he's in love with himself, which I was really worried about. Yeah, I would be interested, but he has to take down some of those.

[Andy]

Photos if I'm going back or at least turn them around. So not all of him is looking at you at the same time.

[Jeff]

Okay, you guys can actually do that on your next date.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah. Pick your top ones.

[Samson]

Yeah, I'm totally down. We'll go out to dinner, then Asperger's can go back and have a redecoration party.

[Jeff]

Congratulations, Andy. You got another meetup with Carla.

[Samson]

Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate your help.

[Jeff]

We're motivated, too.

[Alexis]

We set a goal to get them together. And we did it, guys.

[Andy]

Without even one picture of us hanging up in front of us.

[Jeff]

That is our effort for the entire year. We can go back to not caring anymore.

[Alexis]

We can mail it in.

[Andy]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeff]

You know, today's second date was a good lesson for me.

[Andy]

Yeah, to put effort into things.

[Jeff]

No, because I have lots of frame photos of myself up in my place now. My face isn't in any of them.

[Andy]

What?

[Jeff]

I tend to capture other stuff, but.

[Andy]

I almost asked what was, and that was no.

[Jeff]

You can come over and check it out if you want.

[Andy]

I'm good at a public place.

[Jeff]

Well, now I know I need to limit them down to just three, so that's good to know. But I do think Brooke actually said it best during the segment because he seems genuinely surprised that too many photos of himself could be something that derails a date.

[Andy]

Right?

[Jeff]

Yeah, but good for him. He was open minded. He was willing to change and adjust. That's literally the number one thing you can do to be in a successful relationship.

[Andy]

I mean, it's so hard for people these days to hear something like, maybe somewhat critical about themselves and think, yeah, oh, okay, well, I can fix that. Yeah, like, that's a great thing to think. After that.

[Jeff]

They really were a great match. And I hope that we do get an update from them soon and you could be the next next couple that we get an update from. If you email the show, call that person who's not calling you back and go check out all of our second dates. Wherever you get your podcasts, they're available at.
