[Brooke]

your brand new episode today. It's Brooke and Jeffrey. Thanks for finding our second date podcast. We appreciate it. We got a self proclaimed love bomber on today's second date. She's coming in hot.

[Jeffrey]

Not every day that they admit it, you know.

[Brooke]

Yeah, so we're gonna get to that. But first comments.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, this one was cute. Jenn said. Omg. Did you guys really encourage to do a shout out for your band?

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

I've been listening obsessively from the Netherlands for about a year now and you guys have inspired a song I've written about dating or basically the fact that I've given up on dating at this point.

[Paulina]

Lol.

[Jeffrey]

It's called Love is such a Big Word by Jenny Jeanine. It's on Spotify and it'd be a dream to know what you guys think and I'll den it to you guys on our next show.

[Brooke]

All right, we're gonna go listen. You know what?

[Caller/Commentator]

Even better, I'm gonna fly to the Netherlands and tell you exactly how I feel about it.

[Brooke]

Oh wow.

[Jeffrey]

We'll go to a concert.

[Brooke]

Concert.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Or maybe he's just showing up at Jenny's house. Oh yeah.

[Caller/Commentator]

Comment your address.

[Brooke]

Be careful of what you wish for, Jenny. Okay, let's get to your brand new episode right now. Brooke And Jeffrey in the morning, second date update.

[Jeff]

It's nice to have people who are self aware in the dating world.

[Brooke]

Oh, yes. Very few and far between, I think,

[Jeff]

at least with our listeners. And sometimes they know immediately when they made a mistake or if they crossed a boundary. They might even know their own love. Language, like mine personally, is camouflage inflatables.

[Paulina]

What?

[Jeff]

I'm self aware.

[Brooke]

I don't think that's one of the six or seven.

[Jeffrey]

Jeff took a different test than all of us.

[Jeff]

Who says you're limited to, like, the five ones that are written down in the book.

[Brooke]

Why does it creep me out now that you're wearing a camo camouflage shirt?

[Jeff]

But I only bring it up because one of our listeners emailed us. Her name's Paulina, and she admits that she is a self professed love bomber.

[Brooke]

Oh, interesting.

[Jeff]

Her recent bombing was on full display during her first date. The other, I am very eager to learn about it. So, Paulina, welcome to the show.

[Paulina]

Hello. Thank you for having me here, guys.

[Jeff]

Oh, man, thank you for being here.

[Caller/Commentator]

I love you.

[Paulina]

I love you too.

[Brooke]

I'm so curious to hear her level of love bombing because there's like a really fine line between it being awesome that you're expressing yourself and then being way too much.

[Paulina]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Okay, well, we'll find out where you are on the spectrum of love bombing. But what's the guy's name?

[Paulina]

Okay. His name is Justin.

[Brooke]

Oh, you even say it like you just are. Yep. Excited.

[Jeff]

I feel it. So tell us about Justin.

[Paulina]

All right, well, we had a nice date. We. We met for just like a simple meal, you know, just.

[Brooke]

Is this dinner? Is this lunch?

[Paulina]

It was. It was lunch.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Paulina]

Yeah. Casual, you know, So I know within 30 seconds of meeting a person how I feel. I do.

[Caller/Commentator]

There's science behind that, though. There really is.

[Brooke]

But are your feelings right?

[Jeff]

Actually, who's to say whose feelings are right and wrong, bro, if she's feeling a feeling, what's wrong with that?

[Brooke]

It's just like 30 seconds is so.

[Paulina]

Guys, don't get me wrong. Connecting with him online, you know, I wasn't expecting that. You know, I was like, whoa. Okay, so we started, like, going deep quickly.

[Brooke]

Really? What does that look like for you? Like, what do you mean deep?

[Paulina]

Okay. I even said I can already picture our future dog. He's brown and his name is Microwave.

[Jeff]

Microwave.

[Paulina]

It's micro for short. But he's a big dog, so it's ironic.

[Jeff]

Micro for a big dog. Okay.

[Brooke]

It's better than picturing your future kids like That's a better statement for sure.

[Jeff]

What is Justin's reaction to that?

[Paulina]

He laughed. He laughed. I don't know if he thought I was being serious, but I was. Oh, but that's okay.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Caller/Commentator]

We're being serious, guys.

[Paulina]

This is how much we clicked. Like, before we even ordered, he was FaceTiming with my mom.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh.

[Caller/Commentator]

Oh, yo, that is awesome.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Good shave, Jose. Very nice. Wait, how did that happen? Did your mom call you?

[Paulina]

I surprised him with it. I dialed her under the table.

[Brooke]

Under the table?

[Caller/Commentator]

You just pushed her phone out and

[Paulina]

your mom was there?

[Jeff]

Girl, that's how I would want to meet.

[Jeffrey]

Did she like him, though?

[Paulina]

I mean, she loved him. She loved him, too.

[Brooke]

How long was the FaceTime with your mom and your dad?

[Paulina]

Oh, it was just a couple minutes. It was just, you know, fun banter between me and him and mom, and it was like, what?

[Jeff]

Okay, so so far, we're 10 minutes into the date you have planned. Getting a dog together. He's met your mom in a surpr. Video chat.

[Brooke]

And remember, this is all mid date. Jeff, we're not eating.

[Jeff]

The middle of the day.

[Caller/Commentator]

Yeah, lunch date.

[Jeff]

I'm scared to ask what happens after 10 minutes.

[Brooke]

Did you slow things down a little bit for the rest of the date?

[Paulina]

I mean, slow things down. I mean, that's not how I roll. You know, I. I gave him a little. I gave him a little unique gift.

[Jeff]

Oh, you brought a gift with you?

[Paulina]

It's kind of a personal thing. I don't want to say what it was, but if you get him on the phone, he can say it.

[Brooke]

Okay, what did he say when you handed it to him?

[Paulina]

He didn't say anything. His eyes just got real big.

[Justin]

Oh.

[Paulina]

Oh, I can't wait to hear his

[Additional Ad Voice]

side of the story.

[Jeff]

Okay, maybe we should fast forward through the lunch.

[Paulina]

Okay. We had a great lunch. The food was tasty.

[Brooke]

It was tasty.

[Jeff]

Okay, good.

[Paulina]

We were just shooting back and forth. You know, we were already talking about the subject of relationship. Right. Because we're on a date. And I said, hey, are you a lefty or a righty when it comes to closets?

[Justin]

Huh?

[Jeff]

What does that mean?

[Brooke]

What do you mean?

[Paulina]

Well, you know, like, how if you're. If. Like if you move in together, like, are you gonna share a closet? Can it be 50? 50? Are they a lefty or a righty?

[Jeff]

Ah, these are the important questions that do need to be asked on the first date. I do agree.

[Brooke]

Did he answer that question?

[Paulina]

He had no idea. He said, no one has ever asked me that.

[Jeff]

Wow.

[Paulina]

I said, let's go back to my place and look.

[Brooke]

Look at the closet. Wait, did he go back?

[Paulina]

He went back. We went back to my house.

[Justin]

Oh, wow.

[Jeff]

It's not the usual invitation most guys get to go back to someone's place, but it worked.

[Brooke]

I thought he wouldn't be into it, but maybe we're reading this wrong.

[Jeff]

Yeah. What did he think about the closet?

[Paulina]

You know, I showed him the closet and we were just, you know, I was laughing and it was funny. And then he like, he started having this like severe allergic reaction.

[Justin]

Oh.

[Jeff]

Oh, God.

[Paulina]

Yeah. He said he's like, I. I think I have to go. And he left.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Did he show any signs of allergic reaction? Like puffy lips or rats?

[Jeff]

Foamy mouth?

[Caller/Commentator]

Yeah.

[Paulina]

He started looking just like agitated, like uncomfortable? A little bit, Yeah. I mean, okay, I do use a specific. It could be a cleaner. I just cleaned the house.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Paulina]

Who knows?

[Brooke]

Did you send him a lot of follow up texts and calls to check on his well being?

[Paulina]

I of course followed up with him. Yeah. Of. Oh my God. Make sure he's okay.

[Brooke]

Did he answer?

[Paulina]

He said I'm okay.

[Caller/Commentator]

Very short, though.

[Paulina]

Very short.

[Caller/Commentator]

Oh, okay. I think I've heard everything we need to hear.

[Jeff]

I don't think I could stand to hear another thing.

[Jeffrey]

So I think I'm allergic to the same thing as him.

[Podcast Host (Ad Read)]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Let's come back, we'll ask Justin what's going on in his life, why he hasn't reached out to you and what he was allergic to. And when we come back.

[Caller/Commentator]

Oh, yeah, I want to know that.

[Jeff]

That's the number one thing in my mind.

[Caller/Commentator]

And the gift. I want to know what the gift.

[Jeff]

All of it. We'll figure it out with your second date right after this.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeff]

If you're just joining us, we have a self professed love bomber on the show with us today.

[Brooke]

Hey. She knows who she is.

[Jeff]

Her name is Paulina and she's not getting a call back from her possible soulmate, Justin. Now, on the surface you might think, oh, well, no wonder in the first few minutes she brought up their future dog, facetimed. Her mother gave him a unique mystery gift that we don't even know what it is yet.

[Brooke]

She even named the dog Microwave.

[Jeff]

Yeah. So if Justin answers, the main thing I'm curious about is probably that mystery gift. But the night did end back at her place with them.

[Brooke]

Went back there.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Trying to figure out which side of her closet his clothes would go on. So overall, pretty normal. First date stuff until he said he was having an allergic reaction and had to leave immediately.

[Caller/Commentator]

No symptoms.

[Brooke]

Yeah, he's only texted her two words since. I'm okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Yes. And he is alive, so that's good.

[Paulina]

Yes.

[Jeff]

So how long has it been, Paulina, since you were at the apartment together? I was gonna guess like a week or so, but maybe closer to a couple hours or minutes. Since he left,

[Paulina]

it's been three days.

[Jeff]

Three days.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeff]

All right.

[Brooke]

You know, you may hear, which, I don't know if you've heard this before. That was maybe too much, too soon. Are you open to slowing down the relationship? If that's the case with him?

[Paulina]

I don't know. We've got to be ourselves, right?

[Brooke]

All right, so maybe it's not a good match if that's how he felt. Okay.

[Paulina]

Or maybe he's in the hospital.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, why would he be.

[Jeff]

Yeah, why'd he say that with so much hope?

[Paulina]

No. Oh. Oh, well,

[Jeff]

I'm kidding.

[Paulina]

Paulina kind of got me.

[Jeff]

Let's just dial his number. We'll see if we can get him on the horn and hopefully get all the answers that you've been searching for over the last 72 hours.

[Paulina]

Okay, thank you.

[Jeff]

All right, we got this. Here we go.

[Justin]

Hello?

[Jeff]

Hey, is this Justin?

[Justin]

This is Justin. Yep.

[Paulina]

Hey.

[Brooke]

Sounds healthy.

[Jeff]

You sound like you're in good health. That's.

[Brooke]

That's great.

[Jeff]

It's really positive for us to hear. Hey, we're a morning show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning on the radio.

[Justin]

Good morning. How are you?

[Brooke]

Really happy to be talking to you.

[Jeffrey]

I'm excited to hear.

[Jeff]

We've heard a lot about you, Justin, and I don't know if we really want to know a whole lot more, but we do want to dive into your personal life just a little bit.

[Justin]

Okay. This is. I'm sorry. This is just very awkward and weird.

[Jeff]

Perfect. It's designed to be a little bit awkward because this is called the second date update. We're hoping to get some answers on behalf of our listener Paulina, who you went on a date with recently.

[Justin]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Yeah. You just saw her three days ago, so.

[Justin]

Yeah, because she's a lot. A lot.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Caller/Commentator]

She knows that.

[Jeff]

She. She did mention some of the things that happened on the date, and who knows? Maybe you have even more to add. But let's just start with this. How was FaceTiming with her mom?

[Justin]

I would have to say very unexpected.

[Jeff]

Unexpected because she pulled her phone out from under the table, and her mom was there.

[Justin]

Yes. And then I was kind of put on the spot. But her mom is very nice, very sweet.

[Jeff]

So you could probably tell pretty early on that she was super into you. Was that kind of a turn off or did you take it as more of a good sign or what?

[Justin]

I mean, honestly, I'll say it was kind of nice to have a girl be that excited about me. That doesn't normally happen.

[Brooke]

Had you ever gotten a present before on a first date?

[Paulina]

Yeah.

[Justin]

No, honestly, I can say I've never gotten a gift on a first date.

[Jeff]

Okay. We have been dying to know about this gift that she gave you because she wouldn't tell us what it is. She said it was kind of personal and unique and only you would be allowed to share it if you wanted to.

[Justin]

I mean, I don't know about it being personal and unique, but it was a framed photo of myself.

[Brooke]

What? She gave you a framed photo of you?

[Jeffrey]

Just you?

[Justin]

Oh, just me. Just me. And I knew the picture looked familiar, and then that's when I like, put the clues together that it was my profile pic from my LinkedIn page.

[Brooke]

Oh, and she took a professional headshot.

[Caller/Commentator]

Like your real estate?

[Paulina]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

What was the. Was there like a card or an attached meaning?

[Justin]

Nope, just printed and framed it.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Caller/Commentator]

Did you meet her on LinkedIn? How.

[Brooke]

Why?

[Caller/Commentator]

Was she on your LinkedIn?

[Justin]

No, we met. We just met on dating app. But she must have.

[Caller/Commentator]

You girls go to their LinkedIns.

[Jeffrey]

How else do you check if their job is legit to what they say?

[Brooke]

I mean, she.

[Jeff]

They're thorough, so. Okay. Wow. I. I think we're understanding why you left so quickly after being over at her place.

[Brooke]

We want to know. Yeah, you. You got all of this and then you still agreed to go to her apartment, like so at that point, you were still open to Paulina and dating her. Am I right?

[Justin]

I mean, if I'm going back to your place, I've got at least a curiosity about you, you know?

[Jeff]

That's good. Well, you say you're curious about her. She's actually extremely curious about you.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeff]

So curious that she's on the phone right now listening into this conversation.

[Brooke]

Oh, we're gonna do get the allergic

[Jeff]

before we get to the 20 minute mark. That would be great.

[Justin]

Yes.

[Jeff]

So let's. Let's just say. Hey, Pauline is here.

[Caller/Commentator]

Hey.

[Paulina]

Hi, Justin. Hello.

[Justin]

Hey, what's going on? What's going on?

[Paulina]

Oh, well, just to have you hear your voice. You sound good.

[Justin]

Yeah. Yeah. Feeling better.

[Paulina]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Paulina]

Good, good. Did you figure out what you were allergic? To.

[Brooke]

Be honest, Justin, I Mean.

[Justin]

Okay, let me just say. Okay, so parts of the date were very fun with you, and I didn't mind having a little more attention thrown my way. That made me feel great.

[Caller/Commentator]

But that's sweet.

[Paulina]

Awesome.

[Justin]

But the reason I'm not calling, if I'm being totally honest with you, is that when we were at your house, looking at the closet, there were some men's clothes in there.

[Brooke]

What?

[Caller/Commentator]

What?

[Brooke]

Maybe she just likes to wear men's clothes. Like, it's cool right now to wear, like, big jeans.

[Justin]

Yeah, no, there were, like, men's clothes in there. It wasn't like.

[Paulina]

I told you what the deal was.

[Brooke]

Oh, there's a deal?

[Justin]

Well, just because your boyfriend is on a work vacation and you. That's uncomfortable for me.

[Caller/Commentator]

You said.

[Jeff]

Wait, you.

[CVS/Klarna Ad Voice]

Paulina.

[Jeff]

You have a boyfriend?

[Paulina]

I. I mean. Okay, first of all, I dumped him yesterday. The relationship was only a month. Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

He moved in and put his clothes in your closet in just a month?

[Jeff]

That might be moving slow in Paulina's world.

[Paulina]

He did move in. I was super into him. But then that ended, and then I met Justin, and it was like, a million times stronger. Justin,

[Brooke]

you were on the dating apps when you were in a relationship. I thought you were, like, a love bomber, like a one or one type

[Paulina]

of lady, but sometimes I am.

[Jeff]

Okay, what I'm hearing is that relationship is dead and done.

[Brooke]

It wasn't dead until yesterday, it sounds

[Jeff]

like, but now it is.

[Paulina]

Oh, God.

[Jeff]

Let's not focus on the past. She's free and single now, Justin.

[Justin]

Well, I don't know. Well, how do I know that you wouldn't do the same thing to me?

[Brooke]

Absolutely.

[Justin]

Yeah, I.

[Paulina]

It's a fair question. Justin, you don't. Because love is unpredictable.

[Jeff]

No guarantees.

[Brooke]

It's not unpredictable to log into a dating app and then swipe right, plan a date.

[Jeff]

I can't think of a better time to ask you two to go out on another date because it's unpredictable. What?

[Paulina]

Anybody's gonna say, I'm totally into this, Justin.

[Jeff]

That doesn't surprise anyone, Paul.

[Paulina]

We know. I will toss Nathan's clothes outside as soon as I get off the phone, and I'll wake him up.

[CVS/Klarna Ad Voice]

You're welcome.

[Brooke]

Who wake who up?

[Paulina]

Nathan. I want to kick him out right now.

[Jeff]

Your ex boyfriend is still in the house.

[Brooke]

He's your boyfriend then. Paulina.

[Jeffrey]

Just remembering now, her mom still met him even though she already has him. Okay,

[Paulina]

Nathan never met my mother.

[Justin]

Wow.

[Caller/Commentator]

She didn't say she feels stronger.

[Jeffrey]

Stop talking about the boyfriend.

[Brooke]

That's in your apartment right now.

[Jeff]

Ex boyfriend.

[Brooke]

How do you know that? Jeff. He. He's still there.

[Jeff]

He's asleep and he can't hear any

[Paulina]

of this happening, so I dumped him yesterday. He just needed a couple days to get out.

[Jeff]

That's fair. That's nice of you to give him a roof over his head while he figures out his new life. So, yeah, now we're back to you. Justin. Would you like to see Paulina one more time?

[Justin]

I'm going to politely. I'm going to politely say no.

[Brooke]

You don't be polite about this.

[Jeff]

Okay? It's a no for now.

[Caller/Commentator]

For now.

[Justin]

I think it's a no for the foreseeable future.

[Jeff]

So a week or two. Like how long is the future?

[Justin]

A lot. Not longer than I think Paulina thinks so.

[Brooke]

Okay, can we just make just a blanketed rule that if you have a man currently sleeping in your bed, you're not allowed to call our show for a second date with another man?

[Paulina]

Yeah, that's actually a stupid rule.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Let's have some fun on this show, Brooke.

[Caller/Commentator]

I love a lot of people to call with other people in their beds.

[Jeff]

Let's get the show's ratings bumped up for once.

[Brooke]

You guys give me a headache.

[Paulina]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeff]

says Paulina calls us back in the next week for an awkward Tuesday with her ex Nathan saying he won't leave her house.

[Brooke]

No way. She doesn't have another option. She's going to be back together with him. Are you kidding me?

[Jeff]

Back together and then broken up and then back together multiple times.

[Brooke]

This woman can't be single.

[Jeff]

It did shock the entire room to find out our love bomber was bombing more than one Twitter target. So she's like a love carpet bomber in a way.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Like it was all so much for me.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I I don't she was just a cheater. Jeff, I think is what we could call her.

[Jeff]

Yeah, but she's only dating these guys for like a couple weeks. It's hard to say that you're even cheating at that point.

[Brooke]

How does she have so many options? Just moving in. Is the rental like world that hard?

[Additional Ad Voice]

Maybe that's or her apartment's really nice.

[Jeff]

That could be Love bombing is extremely effective. You should try it sometime. I just don't see her as someone who's ever going to have of a ton totally clean break from a guy ever.

[Brooke]

I see her as someone who's going to be back on the show. I think that first prediction is correct.
