1. Introduction to the Second Date Update

The episode kicks off with Brooke introducing the "Second Date Update" segment, a feature where listeners share their dating experiences, particularly focusing on why a second date didn’t materialize. The hosts express their enthusiasm for listener engagement, highlighting a comment from Nicola Huber in Brazil:

“The call just gets worse and worse.” ([01:25])

Brooke emphasizes the show's aim to provide entertaining and insightful analyses of real-life dating scenarios.

2. The Topic of First Date Gifts

Brooke and Jeff delve into the topic of bringing gifts on first dates, discussing whether it's a thoughtful gesture or an overstep. Alexis contributes by questioning the necessity of such gifts:

“Oh, my God.” ([01:30])

The conversation explores different perspectives on gift-giving, with Brooke asserting the importance of showing thoughtfulness:

“That takes a date to a different type of relationship.” ([02:05])

However, Jeff cautions against excessive gifting, suggesting a balance:

“Don’t show up empty, okay? Just cash exchange.” ([02:01])

3. Kyle's Grand Gesture: Gifting a 43-Inch Smart TV

The spotlight shifts to Kyle, a listener who emailed the show about his unique approach to impressing his date, Sarah. Kyle recounts how he met Sarah online and decided to make a memorable first impression by purchasing and gifting her a 43-inch Smart TV with Roku:

“I bought her a TV.” ([05:03])

Brooke expresses surprise and curiosity about Kyle's ambitious gesture:

“Whoa, whoa, whoa.” ([02:23])

Kyle explains his motivation, believing the gift would help them bond over shared interests, particularly TV shows. He details the process of installing the TV at Sarah's apartment, showcasing his commitment:

“I put it in my trunk. So I took it to the date and I told her, hey, I've got a surprise for you.” ([05:08])

4. Sarah's Perspective: The Aftermath of the TV Gift

In an unprecedented move, Brooke and Jeff contact Sarah to gain her side of the story. Sarah reveals that while the initial reaction was positive, the situation quickly became uncomfortable:

“He turned on a basketball game, and then he says, hey, can you get some snacks for us?” ([12:06])

Sarah felt overwhelmed by Kyle's continual presence and the massive gift, which she hadn't anticipated. She elaborates on how Kyle's actions, though well-intentioned, crossed personal boundaries:

“I'm putting it outside, but I am done with this.” ([16:58])

Her frustration underscores the delicate balance between being generous and respecting personal space in nascent relationships.

5. Brooke and Jeff's Analysis: Lessons Learned

Brooke and Jeff dissect the situation, highlighting the potential pitfalls of grand gestures on first dates. Brooke suggests that while Kyle's intentions were good, the execution may have been misguided:

“That's exactly the problem with the gifts. Actually, she owes him nothing.” ([15:02])

Jeff emphasizes the importance of moderation:

“Never give a woman a gift on a first date.” ([17:46])

They discuss how Kyle's excessive gifting perhaps signaled desperation or a lack of understanding of Sarah's comfort levels, leading to her withdrawal from pursuing a second date.

6. The Takeaway: Navigating First Date Gifts

Concluding the episode, Brooke and Jeff offer listeners actionable advice on handling first date interactions:

• Be Thoughtful, Not Overwhelming: Small, meaningful gestures can make a positive impression without crossing boundaries.

  “Just cash exchange.” ([02:01])

• Respect Personal Space: Recognize and honor your date's comfort levels and personal boundaries.

  “That's a good comfort level.” ([07:14])

• Communicate Clearly: Ensure that your actions align with verbal communication to avoid misunderstandings.

  “He didn't ask you if you wanted to watch it with him?” ([12:13])

Brooke and Jeff wrap up by reflecting on Kyle's experience, emphasizing the unpredictability of modern dating dynamics and the importance of balancing generosity with respect.

“It is not my fault.” ([18:10])

[Brooke]

Hey, you found it. The home of the second date update. It is Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And thanks for being here on the podcast. Yes, you know, I love all the comments we've been getting from all over the world, and I think this one really sums up what these second dates are. Nicola Huber in Brazil wrote, the call just gets worse and worse.

[Alexis]

Oh.

[Listener]

It'S true, it does. It's like a guilty pleasure listening, though.

[Brooke]

You know, Seriously, we love when you comment. We love when you subscribe even more. So please do it. And hey, just sit back and enjoy the second date update. It's brand new and it starts right now.

[Jeff]

Second Date update. Alexis, how do you feel about a guy bringing you a gift on a first date? Do you like a guy to have a present or do you require it?

[Listener]

Well, I was gonna say it depends on what it is. You know, like I require something, but.

[Brooke]

I should have a present.

[Listener]

But like, money's preferred.

[Jeff]

Don't show up empty, okay? Just cash exchange.

[Brooke]

That takes a date to a different type of relationship.

[Jeff]

Whatever Alexis is into, let her have it, okay, bro?

[Alexis]

It's a side business. That's her thing.

[Jeff]

But I only ask because one of our listeners says he showed up to his first date with a special surprise for his lady and it wasn't your stereotypical flowers with a box of plan B.

[Alexis]

That should not be it.

[Brooke]

That's considerate. I think that plan B is thoughtful.

[Listener]

I mean, it'll come in handy at some point.

[Jeff]

Guys, Alexis's mom didn't use it and she came about. But you know what?

[Alexis]

Where's the romance?

[Listener]

That is romantic.

[Brooke]

That speed prepared is hot.

[Jeff]

Okay, we're gonna get to the gift specifically in a second, but first, Kyle is the one who emailed us, so welcome to the show, man.

[Kyle]

Hey, guys.

[Jeff]

How you doing?

[Brooke]

Oh, man. God. We're giving you all sorts of ideas for your next date, Kyle.

[Alexis]

I know your gift, Kyle. Like, I'm scared.

[Brooke]

I want to know.

[Jeff]

We do. But first, tell us about this lucky lady that you met. Where did you meet her?

[Kyle]

So we met online on, you know, one of the apps.

[Sarah]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Kyle]

And we clicked. I thought she's really hot, and I hope she. I think she liked me.

[Brooke]

All right, what's her name, by the way?

[Jeff]

Did you even catch that in the profile or who care?

[Alexis]

Yeah, stop.

[Kyle]

Her name is Sarah.

[Brooke]

Sarah. Okay, but what made. I mean, there's a lot of hot girls on the dating apps. Like, what made her stand out so much that you wanted to bring her a surprise gift match back with him?

[Jeff]

What can.

[Brooke]

It's that easy? Is that right?

[Kyle]

Well, you know, it is, like a visual medium, so. I mean, she was really pretty. I'll just say it. She was really pretty.

[Brooke]

You wanted to buy her affection. I see.

[Jeff]

I don't know. Is that how it was that you're making it seem, like, weird?

[Brooke]

I just asked him why she stood out. Nobody had an answer. Besides hot.

[Jeff]

Well, that's what dating is, Brooke.

[Brooke]

I want more. I want the romance part.

[Jeff]

Brooke, just go watch a 90s movie and get your jollies off there.

[Alexis]

Brooke wants them to, like, bump carts at the grocery store and then, like, have a whole.

[Brooke]

I just want them to have. Most people have a connection. That's all I'm saying. Besides eating?

[Jeff]

Not in the modern dating world. No, they don't.

[Brooke]

That's not true. We talked to so many. Okay, we are getting off track. I'm not gonn about this anymore.

[Jeff]

Kyle, she's making sense. I apologize. She has no idea how modern dating works.

[Brooke]

So tell us, how.

[Jeff]

How did you. How did you and Sarah bond?

[Kyle]

Well, so we started talking about TV shows.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Kyle]

And I asked her what. What her favorite show was, and she said she didn't own a tv.

[Brooke]

Whoa.

[Jeff]

Whoa.

[Alexis]

That's wild.

[Brooke]

I went through a phase like that.

[Alexis]

No, I get it. No cable.

[Kyle]

Okay?

[Alexis]

We know TV.

[Brooke]

Yeah, but, you know, the 1880s were a crazy time.

[Jeff]

I know.

[Alexis]

It's just, like, drive a car with my feet, too.

[Brooke]

No, honestly, like, you're a single woman. You're living by yourself. Like, you just watch Your shows on your laptop. You don't need the tv? Is that what it is?

[Kyle]

Well, her roommate had the TV and she moved out, and so she just never got another one.

[Alexis]

Makes even more sense.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Alexis]

She's using her laptop.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Okay, so that doesn't sound like a lot of bonding if you were talking about your favorite TV shows and she doesn't own a tv.

[Alexis]

That's true.

[Kyle]

It was our first conversation, you know. So on a whim, I bought her a tv.

[Brooke]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You awkwardly carry it into a restaurant?

[Kyle]

I put it in my car.

[Jeff]

I see.

[Listener]

Oh, my God.

[Alexis]

For the record, TVs are not as expensive as they used to be. Yeah, but I want people TVs.

[Brooke]

How many inches?

[Kyle]

43 inches.

[Alexis]

It's not even big.

[Kyle]

It was a nice TV. It had Roku.

[Jeff]

Oh, wow. Smart TV.

[Listener]

What a nice time.

[Brooke]

Something like something my parents would say.

[Jeff]

All right. And you said it was in the trunk of your car?

[Kyle]

Yeah. Put it in my trunk. So I took it to the date and I told her, hey, I've got a surprise for you.

[Alexis]

What?

[Listener]

There's no way she was expecting that.

[Alexis]

That is wild. You did it in front of her.

[Brooke]

Wait, are we at the beginning of the date when you gave it to her, or. At the end, I pulled up and.

[Kyle]

I showed her the tv.

[Jeff]

That's amazing.

[Alexis]

That is so cool. We've never heard a TV gift on the first date.

[Jeff]

Although I have heard of guys being like, hey, I have a surprise for you in the trunk of my car. And then the store usually goes a totally different route.

[Brooke]

It's usually a shovel and some duct tape. Yeah, but wait, what was her reaction?

[Kyle]

Well, she was happy. She screamed. She was like, oh, this is amazing.

[Jeff]

Wow.

[Alexis]

Way to set the tone.

[Jeff]

I can.

[Listener]

Because then, you know, if she actually likes you. But that's okay, you know, you could.

[Alexis]

Have also segued and been like, we could either go back and try it out, Netflix and chill, or we can continue our date.

[Kyle]

Well, I actually installed it for her, too.

[Brooke]

So you did go back to her place?

[Jeff]

Really?

[Brooke]

So, wait, did you guys go to dinner at all? Or did you. Was the TV the whole day?

[Alexis]

At this point, I'm wondering.

[Kyle]

Yeah, we had dinner.

[Brooke]

Oh, you did?

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Oh, God, that dinner. She must have been, like, so excited to go home and try out the new tv.

[Listener]

I don't think girls are like that about tvs, but, you know, there's such TV nerds.

[Alexis]

You don't think she was excited? You said she was.

[Jeff]

I mean, with the Roku. Probably.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

How did it go?

[Brooke]

I can't get over that.

[Kyle]

So, yeah, I brought it up to her apartment, I hung it up on the wall and then, you know, we watched TV and I spent the night on the couch and she went to her room. Nothing happened.

[Jeff]

But.

[Brooke]

Okay, she invited you to spend the night. Right.

[Kyle]

We were just watching TV and she fell asleep. She went to go sleep in her bed.

[Jeff]

Okay. She must have been.

[Alexis]

Just took the couch on and you.

[Brooke]

Know, but that's like a good comfort level. Like you meet somebody on a first date and you allow them not only to come to your house, but to stay the night. That's good. It's good. That's a good sign that she trusts you.

[Jeff]

So what's happened since then?

[Kyle]

Well, so we hung out one other time, but it was like kind of short and I don't know, I was just getting like a weird vibe from her.

[Jeff]

Please tell me you did not ask for the TV back after this all happened. We've definitely had guys on the show who've been hurt and they've asked for like, oh, well, now I want half of my bill back because she doesn't want to see me anymore.

[Kyle]

No, no, I'm not that petty.

[Brooke]

I was thinking she'd say, oh, I had a computer, but my roommate took it.

[Alexis]

Oh, you know, she wants more.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I think she's.

[Listener]

You open the world of Netflix and chill for her Now I think she's busy.

[Alexis]

She's catching up.

[Listener]

She's gotta invite people over or she's.

[Brooke]

Just chilling by herself.

[Listener]

Yeah, true. Yeah.

[Jeff]

Well, we'll find out when we call her and see if she even picks up and takes a break from watching Murders in the apartment or whatever in the building. Murders in the. I didn't watch it, so. But we'll find out what she's doing. That should be the sequel. But for now we're focused on our second date update. When we come back right after this second date update. I think all of us have imagined going on to a giant game show one day, winning and taking home an awesome prize like a 43 inch smart TV with Roku. But a girl named Sarah didn't have to do all that. She just had to go on one date with our listener Kyle, who gifted her a brand new flat screen just.

[Brooke]

Because she mentioned she didn't have.

[Listener]

She showed up. It wasn't even at the end.

[Jeff]

Yeah, yeah, it's all cuz her roommate had taken her last one when she moved out. But after inside stalling it for her and watching it together, she's been acting a little bit weird. Those are Kyle's words and he doesn't.

[Brooke]

Know why they hung out a second time, but apparently it was so short that there's not even a description of the hangout. Yeah, it was like it was that bad.

[Jeff]

I don't know what the reasoning is, but we're about to call Sarah here in a second. But Brooke, what are you thinking? What are your thoughts before we reach out to Sarah?

[Brooke]

I don't know, maybe it was just too much too quick because she's like. She didn't ask for the TV even though she was excited about it.

[Alexis]

I didn't think of that ask. It's different.

[Jeff]

Too big of a TV is what Brooks said. He should have gone with like a 30 inch. Maybe one that had a VHS player in it or something.

[Alexis]

It wasn't even a 4K.

[Jeff]

But, Kyle, we're going to try our best to do this for you, okay?

[Sarah]

All right.

[Kyle]

I really appreciate it.

[Jeff]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brooke]

If she doesn't agree to another date, are you going to be regretful about the TV gift or do you have.

[Alexis]

A backup gift just in case?

[Kyle]

That's a good idea. Do you guys have any free giveaways or anything like that?

[Brooke]

Yeah, we're going to give you a gift card at the end of this.

[Jeff]

There you go.

[Alexis]

Maybe that'll add to it.

[Jeff]

And if you want to thank us by giving us a TV in return, that's up to you. We're not going to pressure you, but most guests do give us something as a thank you gift.

[Brooke]

I have four TVs in my trunk right now just from the calls last week.

[Jeff]

Not nice ones, or else you would have installed them in your house. But still, whatever it is, it's up to you. Let's call Sarah and see if she picks up. Here we go.

[Sarah]

Hello?

[Jeff]

Hey, is this Sarah?

[Sarah]

Yeah. My answer's calling.

[Jeff]

Yes, you may. We're a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Not a TV show, a radio show.

[Sarah]

Who?

[Brooke]

She's really into TV now. Jeff.

[Jeff]

Yeah, We're Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. I'm Jeff.

[Sarah]

Sorry, who?

[Jeff]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. My name is Jeff. That's the fourth time I've said it.

[Brooke]

She's not gonna know. You don't know we're a morning radio show.

[Jeff]

Hey, hold on.

[Alexis]

You want to know the name of our show?

[Brooke]

Because I have.

[Sarah]

Can I help you?

[Alexis]

Sorry.

[Jeff]

You hopefully can help us because we are doing a segment called A Second Date Update and trying to get some answers for one of our listeners. That you met up with the other night for a hot date. Two hot dates.

[Sarah]

I've had several dates. I don't know who you're talking about.

[Jeff]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Oh, I think you'll remember once we say his name.

[Jeff]

Yeah, Kyle.

[Brooke]

Oh, God, the TV guy.

[Alexis]

Why is he on?

[Jeff]

Don't say that.

[Sarah]

Why?

[Brooke]

Why? Because he likes you and he said that you're super pretty.

[Jeff]

Why is your reaction that way?

[Sarah]

Because.

[Brooke]

Oh, my gosh, dude, that sounds like you have a story and I am dying.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Would you mind.

[Alexis]

Sound like it.

[Jeff]

Would you mind sharing a little bit? Because Kyle is totally confused. He doesn't know why there hasn't been another hangout.

[Sarah]

Is he really?

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Well, he knows the last time you saw him, it didn't go well.

[Sarah]

He must be truly obtuse. Oh, my gosh. Yes.

[Brooke]

He's not a cute one.

[Jeff]

Brooke, could you explain a little bit because we're totally in the dark?

[Sarah]

Okay. Have y'all ever had somebody buy you a TV on a first date?

[Brooke]

No.

[Alexis]

No.

[Jeff]

Just like six or seven times, but, yeah.

[Alexis]

Yeah, just everyone.

[Jeff]

Not one with Roku.

[Brooke]

He thought you were excited about that. Were you not?

[Sarah]

I mean, it was thoughtful, but I didn't know that it was getting ready to come with all these things. Okay, he's putting it up on the wall.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Okay.

[Sarah]

If you call. You want the story, you're about to get the story.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Brooke]

I'm sitting back at my seat.

[Jeff]

We're starting with. He's putting the TV up on your wall. Yes.

[Sarah]

And while he's installing and everything, he's like, I'm really into sports. And I'm like, oh, okay, great. And everything. That's cool. Yeah. Okay, so after it's all set up, he kicks off his shoes and turns on the game.

[Brooke]

The game?

[Jeff]

What game?

[Sarah]

Yeah, he turns on a basketball game.

[Brooke]

Did he ask you if you wanted to watch it with him?

[Sarah]

No. No, no, no.

[Brooke]

That's bold.

[Kyle]

Yeah.

[Sarah]

And so he's just watching the basketball game, and then he says, hey, can you get some snacks for us?

[Alexis]

No, he did not. Well, now, that is offensive.

[Jeff]

Maybe the full experience of what it's like to watch. He's doing the test run for you.

[Alexis]

He should be giving her the snacks then and putting her on.

[Listener]

But he should just.

[Brooke]

He just feels comfortable with you. He feels like he's hanging out. He's trying to bond after one day.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

How did he say the night then? Because he said he slept on your couch, Right?

[Sarah]

Yeah. Okay, so he's so geeked up. He was like, man, the resolution, like the picture. Oh, this was a perfect place on the wall. And he's still watching the game and everything. It's a late night game. And so I was like, well, I'm going to bed.

[Brooke]

Wait, you didn't kick him out? No.

[Alexis]

That's why you went to bed?

[Jeff]

Well, maybe that's like the insinuation, like, hey, I gotta time to, you know, scary up.

[Alexis]

Why don't you hop with me?

[Brooke]

I don't think that. I think it meant like, you leave.

[Listener]

Maybe you just take the TV with you at this point.

[Jeff]

He didn't get the hint?

[Sarah]

No, he did not get the hint.

[Jeff]

Oh, God.

[Sarah]

And I wake up, he's gotten so comfortable. He done went to the kitchen, made him a bowl of cereal and is watching a pickleball tournament.

[Brooke]

At least he's independent. Why did you hang out with him again?

[Jeff]

Oh, my God. Yeah, he said there was a second hangout. That was what he said.

[Sarah]

Well, I guess the only time that I saw him was later on in the day when I got home from work.

[Brooke]

He was still there.

[Sarah]

He stayed in my apartment all day.

[Brooke]

What? He was still there.

[Kyle]

Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. Can I jump in here?

[Brooke]

I think it'd probably be a good time.

[Kyle]

Can I just say something?

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Kyle]

Can I just say something?

[Jeff]

Yeah. So, Sarah, you should probably know that that's Kyle. He's been waiting on the other line wanting to talk to you.

[Sarah]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jeff]

Well, actually he's probably in your apartment right now calling from your couch in front of the tv, but yeah.

[Sarah]

Are you kidd. Kidding me? He's on the. This is going way too far.

[Jeff]

Yeah, okay, hold on. He's installed your TV up on the wall for you, so just let's give him a chance to explain himself.

[Brooke]

I wouldn't do that.

[Jeff]

He bought the TV and installed it.

[Brooke]

That's exactly the problem with the gifts. Actually, she owes him nothing.

[Listener]

But.

[Brooke]

But he might be a good guy. That you should hear out.

[Jeff]

That's totally different than what I said.

[Kyle]

Yeah, I got. I got something to say. All right, so I brought you dinner and I you to join me. And I'm the bad guy? Is that so bad?

[Sarah]

You brought pizza knowing I don't eat that? So no, you didn't consider me at all. And the fact that you're in my house all day after I told you I'm going to bed. I got to go to work.

[Kyle]

You don't watch tv, don't eat, and.

[Sarah]

I'm going to set it outside.

[Jeff]

Wait, wait. Before this blows up. Any further and you guys arguing about he said, she said. What is the pizza about?

[Brooke]

Yeah, I thought you guys went to dinner. I didn't think that you just brought pizza to her house.

[Sarah]

No, this is when he was still at my house.

[Jeff]

Okay, so this is the second night after you guys hung out the first time. And he brought dinner to till it.

[Alexis]

Was evening the next day.

[Jeff]

What a romantic.

[Brooke]

Jeffrey's being sarcastic. Dude, it's like an unwritten rule. If you stay the night at somebody's house, you leave in the morning when they leave.

[Jeff]

Okay, but this was the second night, so what's the rule about the second night?

[Kyle]

Yeah, the rule is you bring pizza.

[Jeff]

That's a good man.

[Sarah]

The rule is that you leave your g o. When I said I gotta go to bed.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Kyle]

Guys, is it just me or does she. She sounds ungrateful, right? I mean, I bought her a tv.

[Jeff]

I mean, am I crazy?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

I have not heard a thank you one time from her.

[Brooke]

That's true.

[Kyle]

I haven't heard a thank you.

[Brooke]

I haven't heard she already thanked you when you gave it to her.

[Kyle]

She's not thanking me now. She's just complaining that I'm watching sports. That's what you do with a T.

[Sarah]

Okay, Kyle, I need you to understand this. It's not your house. So I'm gonna need you to come and get this tv. All right? If you want it, I'm putting it outside, but I am done with this.

[Jeff]

Oh, somebody's inviting you over, I think she said.

[Kyle]

Yeah, that sounds like an invite. Do you want pepperoni? You want cheese?

[Jeff]

And we are going to provide the gift card for that pizza on the corner.

[Sarah]

It will be on the corner. He will not have any access to my apartment.

[Brooke]

Okay, so this is not as romantic.

[Listener]

Maybe text the address of the corner in case one of us wants to swoop by.

[Brooke]

Oh, Alexis is in the market for us.

[Kyle]

It's a nice tv. There you go. So don't put like a free sign on or anything. I want to know when it's out there. I'm gonna come by and I'm gonna get it.

[Alexis]

I'm gonna be like at least a hundred dollar bill lying on the ground.

[Brooke]

Oh, what?

[Jeff]

That sounds like a no. I'm sorry, Kyle, but I guess we learned a lesson. Never give a woman a gift on a first date.

[Kyle]

Ever.

[Alexis]

No, that's just be normal.

[Brooke]

You know, what if there's no middle ground? Jeffree, let's go with that.

[Jeff]

Yes. Finally we agree on something. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeff]

We're getting too many no's lately, Brooke. Not getting enough yeses. And it's starting to make me lose faith in love.

[Brooke]

Oh, no, Jeff.

[Jeff]

Somebody here isn't doing their job is all I'm saying.

[Brooke]

It's the guy. He could have just gone home that night and he would have had another date. It is not my fault.

[Jeff]

Okay, fair. But, Brooke, is there any way that maybe next time we get a guy on the phone who spends 48 straight hours at a girl's place in his underwear watching nothing but sports? Can you at least try to spin it into a romantic thing? Just try.

[Brooke]

It sounds like marriage is that good.

[Jeff]

I'm just saying you're leaving me on my island, doing all the heavy lifting, standing up for our listeners. You're throwing them right under the bus.

[Brooke]

I started by saying it was good that she let him stay because it obviously meant she trusted him. I didn't know that. It obviously meant that he didn't get the messages.

[Jeff]

Okay, you're still on the pessimistic train. We need you to hop back onto the optimism train and stand up for our listeners. Right or wrong.

[Brooke]

Oh, I have a headache.

[Jeff]

We'll toss some Advil at you. Email the show if you have a very easy, simple dating life that we could fix without having to stand up for you.

[Listener]

I like the messy ones.

[Jeff]

Those ones are kind of fun. Email the show. We'll call them. That person who's not calling you back, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
