Listener Rez’s Brunch Date

[02:28]
Brick welcomes listeners to a fresh episode focused on Rez’s recent brunch date with a woman named Katrina. The goal is to explore what went wrong during Rez’s attempt to secure a second date.

[04:09]
Rez begins by describing his approach as a gentleman, emphasizing his efforts to please Katrina during their Sunday brunch at a buffet he frequents.

Notable Quote:
Rez: “I was on my best behavior. You know, I wanted to be a total gentleman. Like, open the door. Pulled her chair out. Like, I really, really was, like, into this girl.” [05:08]

---

Exploring the Brunch Experience

[04:20] – [07:02]
Brooke and Jeffrey delve into the specifics of the brunch experience, discussing the selection at the buffet. Rez highlights a carving station and a variety of fruits, which becomes a pivotal point in the narrative.

Rez: “There was a carving station, which was sick. I was putting down the bacon, but she was just into, like, a ton of different fruit.” [06:25]

The hosts express curiosity about the menu, with particular interest in whether there were specialty items like crab legs or a crepe station, adding depth to the listener’s experience.

---

The Critical Brunch Hack Incident

[07:34]
Rez reveals a critical moment that turned the date sour: sharing a “brunch hack.”

Rez: “You know how hotels do continental breakfast for the guests? So, if you just walk into this hotel and you just walk up to the buffet, sit down, get your food, sit down, like you know what you're doing, like you belong there, you can just eat it and leave.” [07:44]

Brooke: “Hack, that hack, that's actually just an illegal activity.” [08:04]

This revelation leads to tension as Katrina overhears Rez discussing this hack, feeling betrayed and questioning his integrity.

---

Katrina’s Reaction and Feedback

[12:01] – [19:34]
The episode reaches a climax when Brooke and Jeffrey call Katrina into the show to gain her perspective. Katrina expresses her disappointment in Rez’s lack of basic knowledge about fruit, specifically his inability to identify a cantaloupe.

Katrina: “If you're a 30-year-old man and you've never heard of cantaloupe, what else has he not heard of? Going to go on a date and he's going to be like, oh, I can't read.” [15:06]

This critique leads to a humorous yet insightful discussion about personal standards in dating and the significance of seemingly trivial details in forming connections.

Rez’s Response:
Rez humorously acknowledges his mistake, expressing feelings of being "fruit shamed" and demonstrating his willingness to learn and adapt.

Rez: "I feel like I'm Oliver Twist over here. Like, I'm low class or something. I don't know what a cantaloupe is." [16:20]

Katrina: “I just think it's weird. Like, it's his brunch place. He brought me there. They have a lot of cantaloupe there. Like, I feel like he should have known it.” [18:32]

---

Hosts’ Insights and Suggestions

[20:33] – [21:45]
Following Katrina’s feedback, Brooke and Brick discuss the broader implications of such a misstep in dating. Brooke suggests that Katrina is projecting potential future issues based on a single incident, while Brick humorously laments the situation.

Brooke: “It's more than just he doesn't know the name of one fruit. This is just a small slice of a larger picture...” [20:45]

They explore whether this issue is significant enough to end the relationship or if it can be overlooked with mutual growth and understanding.

---

[Brick]

Hey, it's Brick and Jeffrey and you have found your brand new second date podcast. Yes, on a Friday. To get you through whatever you need to today or just make you laugh. That's. That's the goal here. And this one actually is really funny.

[Jenny Garth]

It is.

[Brick]

It's a really funny one. I think you're really going to enjoy it. You know, this guy was definitely worried about a story, an old story he told that he thought would be funny. That, you know, he came off as a freeloading criminal. But whatever, she didn't laugh. It happens. It happens. It happens. You're going to hear the whole thing. And we always love to read your comments because it's. It really means so much to us that you take time out of your day to write them. So, Alexis, what do you like? I saw one from Alan who said the only thing that should have been offered to him was a therapy session. My God. About a past second date. And I'm thinking, what if we did offer therapy instead of dinner? It would be a really good, like, instead of the gift certificate, you get just a therapy session.

[Jeffrey]

You guys are trying to destroy the show by therapizing the listeners.

[Brick]

That's a good point.

[Jeffrey]

No, no one get therapy and keep requesting dates from us. Second dates.

[Brick]

I mean, stable people don't call radio shows for help. All right, I see you eliminate the loser line. All right, your brand new second date starts right now.

[Brooke]

Second date update. You ask anybody and you'll get a lot of different responses for what's the best time of day for a date? Oh, yeah, because I mean, you have the traditional seven o' clock dinner plans, people.

[Jeffrey]

I was literally gonna say 7pm but.

[Brooke]

Then you also have the hikers and bikers who are like, ooh, five in the morning. Let's wake up early and go for a ride together while the sun rises on my tandem two person speed bike.

[Jeffrey]

But I got to get up at 2am first to work out before our bike ride at 5.

[Brooke]

Yeah, and our listener res, he might fall somewhere in the middle of those based on what he chose to do for his first date the other day. So let's talk to him about it. Rez, welcome to the show.

[Rez]

Hey, guys. Thanks for having me. How you doing?

[Brick]

Oh, we're pretty good. Good time of day to do this show.

[Brooke]

Yeah. What time of day do you to go on your dates?

[Rez]

Rez, I'm a gentleman, so I like to go at whatever time is convenient for my date.

[Jeffrey]

I was like, oh, what time is it?

[Brooke]

Whatever the girl wants. She's in charge.

[Brick]

Wow. Okay. So you asked them when would be best?

[Rez]

Yeah, exactly.

[Brooke]

Like, so tell us about this woman that you met recently. What's her name, and what time did she want to go out?

[Rez]

So this woman's name is Katrina, and she said she was free on a Sunday and kind of left me with that. And I was like, well, like, Sunday is brunch day.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it is a chill day.

[Brick]

I think brunch is a great date.

[Rez]

Yeah, exactly. So we did, like, a Sunday brunch buffet that I really loved. I've been to before. And so we met at the place, and we hit it off, like, immediately. And I was, like, on my best behavior. You know, I wanted to be a total gentleman. Like, open the door. Pulled her chair out. Like, I really, really was, like, into this girl.

[Brooke]

You know, a lot of people like to get rowdy and go wild at brunch, so it's good that you reeled it in and held yourself in check.

[Jeffrey]

Don't push her into the door. Open it for her.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Don't push her into it.

[Brooke]

Let her go first for the omelette section. She gets to do her choice. That's really nice of you.

[Jeffrey]

That's what a gentleman does.

[Brick]

That's cute. I mean, were you able to connect?

[Rez]

Yeah, for sure.

[Brooke]

I know Brooke wants to know about your connection and if there was, like, a vibe going on, kind of what we're doing. I'm more curious about what the selection was like at that buffet.

[Brick]

So you want to know if there's crab legs or.

[Jeffrey]

I do. I'm glad you're asking. I almost asked if it was, like, an oyster, like a seafood buffet.

[Brick]

I do love when they have a crepe guy. When they have a crepe guy.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my gosh.

[Brooke]

Cuz, you said it's a breakfast buffet, so does that mean it's all serve yourself, or is there a menu that you can order off of? Yeah, like, I need a new spot to hit up.

[Rez]

Well, I mean, this is my secret spot. I'm not telling anyone.

[Brick]

You're gonna gatekeep it?

[Rez]

Yeah, I'm gatekeeping.

[Brick]

Okay.

[Rez]

There was a carving station, which was sick. I was putting down the bacon, but she was just into, like, a ton of different fruit.

[Brick]

Hey, fruit. Usually just one. It's usually just, like, one fruit salad.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's like, the worst part of the buffet, but.

[Jeffrey]

Well, there's a kiwi there. Usually kiwis. Unless it's at a buffet.

[Brick]

I'm down on the real fancy ones. Have the smoothie stations.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I've never been to that.

[Rez]

Like I said before, like, I won't tell you where this place is, but this place is legit. It has absolutely everything. All the fruits.

[Brick]

All the fruits.

[Brooke]

The secret fruit palace. Okay. We won't ask questions.

[Rez]

So being the gentleman that I am, like, every time I was either going or coming back, I would ask her, like, is there anything that I can get you? Running up, getting her a bagel, getting her some pineapples.

[Brick]

Can you describe your trips to the buffet? It sounds like you two did some damage at this place, which is good, right? I'm imagining him just being the server to her, honestly.

[Brooke]

Well, get your money's worth. But did anything, like, awkward or weird happen?

[Rez]

Well, like, I decided to reveal to her this, like, age old brunch hack that me and my friends have or had.

[Brick]

What is it?

[Brooke]

A brunch hack?

[Rez]

You know how hotels do continental breakfast for the guests?

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rez]

So, like, if you just walk into this hotel and you just walk up to the buffet, sit down, get your food, sit down, like you know what you're doing, like you belong there. You can just eat it and leave.

[Jeffrey]

I haven't heard of it. That's very risky, though, because they can.

[Brick]

Ask you to make your show. The little coupons usually, like the little paper things they give you. You didn't take her to a hotel, did you?

[Rez]

No, no, I just told her that.

[Brooke]

Hack, that hack, that's actually just an illegal activity.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Showing up and stealing.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, the eggs aren't real anyway.

[Brick]

And how old has that waffle batter been sitting there? Somebody's got to eat it.

[Brooke]

Jazz, I guess.

[Jeffrey]

Throw this away.

[Brooke]

How did Katrina react to hearing your hack?

[Rez]

I mean, like, immediately she just had this look on her face, like, I don't know, like my face was melting off. It was not good.

[Brick]

She's a better person than us. You would think she'd laugh and talk about, like, how she got free stuff in college or something, you know, unless.

[Brooke]

He did it last week. And she probably assumed that you weren't going to pay for brunch. This.

[Jeffrey]

She's like, wait, have you paid for this meal tonight yet?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Rez]

Oh, yeah. I had to backpedal and be like, I only did this when I was 17. Like, I'm going to tip, like 30% now.

[Brick]

So did the whole energy shift after that convo?

[Rez]

Yeah, we wrapped up. Hugs felt really weird. And then we haven't spoken in like a whole week.

[Brick]

Oh, yikes. Have you tried?

[Rez]

Yeah, I reached out I texted the next day because I was kind of like hoping she would text me later that day, being like I had such a good time or something, and she didn't.

[Jeffrey]

Bro, I think you did this to yourself. You taught her how to get free food and she doesn't need you anymore.

[Brooke]

Oh, that could be it.

[Brick]

She's busy.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Brick]

Give a person a fish or teach him to fish. I see.

[Jeffrey]

There you go.

[Brooke]

Well, we'll find out when we call her and see if she actually stole your brunch hack and is using it for evil when we do your second date update right after this.

[Rez]

Thank you, guys.

[Brooke]

Hold on. Second date update. If you're just joining us for the second date update, we've been talking to Rez about his brunch date at a super secret brunch location that he refuses to disclose on the radio.

[Brick]

It's very strange how protective he is of this place.

[Jeffrey]

He's gatekeeping.

[Brooke]

He is. But that's where he took a woman named Katrina recently, and it was going extremely well until he made the mistake of speaking. Specifically speaking. Speaking about his brunch hack, where you can get free continental breakfast from hotels if you just walk in and act like you're staying there.

[Brick]

Yeah, yeah, I mean, that's. That's stealing it, but. Yeah. Yeah, but according to him, doesn't cost.

[Brooke]

Anything, so that can be considered a hack if you look at it in a different way.

[Jeffrey]

It was an idea.

[Brooke]

It did change the vibe for the rest of their date, though, cuz Katrina did not have the best reaction. He's hoping we can get things back on track. And in an unrelated note, the CEO of Best Western called in and wants to speak to you after the segment is over. Okay. Rez, I gave them your phone number so you can chat later.

[Rez]

I mean, I admit to nothing, though.

[Brick]

You already admitted to it.

[Brooke]

We have recorded evidence.

[Brick]

I'm gonna tell you, you should ask for a lawyer if you ever get called in. Don't do your own talking.

[Rez]

You know, I honestly, I regret talking about it to you guys, and I regret talking about on my date. This is ruining my life.

[Brick]

Yes, that seems dramatic.

[Brooke]

The good news is we don't know if that was the cause.

[Jeffrey]

Sure.

[Brooke]

She could have some other reason to not be calling you back, but let's dial her number right now. We'll figure out what she has to say.

[Rez]

All right, great.

[Brooke]

Hopefully she picks up and this is a good time for you to not say anything.

[Brick]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

You're good at that though.

[Rez]

Noted.

[Brooke]

All right, here we go. I'm A dial it right now.

[Katrina]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Hey, is this Katrina?

[Rez]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Hey, Katrina, you're on a radio show right now. It's called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brick]

Hey, Katrina, we're all here.

[Brooke]

What's up?

[Brick]

What's up?

[Brooke]

Hi.

[Brick]

Hi. Welcome to the show.

[Jeffrey]

I, like. Jeff branched out there for a second. Yeah, that was cool, bro. Freestyle.

[Brooke]

I know. I really opened up.

[Katrina]

Sorry, I'm on a radio show.

[Jeffrey]

Not a good one either.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and this is a segment that we do. You might be familiar with it. It's called A Second Date Update.

[Katrina]

I don't know. Is this like, a prank?

[Brick]

No, no, we do those too. Yeah. Oh, sorry, Jinx.

[Brooke]

But this one is one where we're trying to help one of our listeners get back in touch with you after you went on a date with him. A guy named Rez.

[Katrina]

Oh, okay. Yeah. Look, I'm sorry. There's just no way that I can go out with him again. But thank you guys for calling. No, no, no, no.

[Brooke]

Wait, wait, hold on. That's to say that. But could you maybe give us a little bit more information on why? Cuz Rez is really confused. He told us about your brunch date, but he's clueless for the reason you might be blowing him off.

[Brick]

And you sound real strong in that conviction there that you don't want to see him again.

[Katrina]

I don't know. I mean, I should say he was a really nice guy. He was very polite. He was, like, offering to get me food. We went to this brunch buffet.

[Brick]

Why wouldn't you want that? Why wouldn't you want to date that?

[Brooke]

You don't like nice guys?

[Katrina]

No, I like nice guys. He's just missing something.

[Brooke]

Missing? Did something happen at the buffet that turned you off?

[Katrina]

I mean, yeah, he. It was. Honestly, it was so weird. Like, I've never. I've never experienced anything like this before. It was. It was so strange. Like I said, he was really nice. He's, like, offering to go get me food right from the buffet, which was, like, very gentlemanly of him, Right? I was like, sure, okay, I'll have, like, some cantaloupe. I see him walking around, and he finally comes back a few minutes later, and he's like, oh, they don't have it.

[Brick]

Okay.

[Katrina]

But I could see it from where we were sitting. Like, I could see there was cantaloupe sitting on, like, one of the buffet things.

[Brick]

Maybe he's one of those guys that gets cantaloupe and, honeydew, Mixed up, I was gonna say.

[Jeffrey]

Why would he lie?

[Brick]

You know?

[Rez]

Right.

[Brick]

Brooke, Maybe he's like, some men don't know their melons.

[Brooke]

Okay?

[Katrina]

I mean, I was like, maybe he missed it, right? Maybe he just didn't see it. Like, there's a lot of food there. So I pointed to where it was and I was like, oh, I think I see it right over there. So he gets up, he walks over there and I see him like circling the table and he's not grabbing the cantaloupe. And then he brings me back a bowl of like berries. And he was like, they didn't have it. So I just got you this. I hope that's okay.

[Brick]

So did you just get up and go get it finally?

[Katrina]

Well, no, because I realized I don't think this guy knows what cantaloupe is. Like, how do you not know what a cantaloupe is? I was so shocked in that moment.

[Brick]

Wow.

[Brooke]

So just to be clear, the big red flag in your mind was that this is a man who does not understand what type of fruit cantaloupe is. Like, that's a big turn off to you shaming him.

[Katrina]

If you're a 30 year old man and you've never heard of cantaloupe, what else has he not heard of? Going to go on a date and he's going to be like, oh, I can't read.

[Brick]

I can't read. You have no cantaloupe to suddenly the poor man can't read. Like, that is a wild job to make.

[Katrina]

Those are basic things though. Like if it's one basic thing he doesn't comprehend, then what Any other basic thing is going to show up.

[Brooke]

Let's ask him what other basic things he doesn't know and comprehend about because Rez is on the other line of this phone call right now listening, waiting to talk to you.

[Katrina]

What are you talking about? He is not.

[Brooke]

He actually is. That's how this segment works.

[Brick]

He could read and write enough to email us, so that's a good sign.

[Brooke]

Get chat GPT to do a lot of that stuff for you credit. Rez, are you there?

[Rez]

Oh, I'm here.

[Brick]

Oh, wow.

[Brooke]

Are you. Are you hearing what Katrina is saying about you?

[Rez]

I'm being fruit shamed.

[Brooke]

Yeah, with good reason, some would argue, but yeah.

[Katrina]

I'm sorry, I didn't know you were on the phone. They didn't tell me. They just. They asked me the questions. I just said the truth. Like, you can't deny it. I obviously would have not said it like that. Had I known you were listening. I'm sorry.

[Brooke]

Well, okay.

[Rez]

I know. I know now. I Googled it.

[Brick]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, you have to search it.

[Brick]

We love a man who learns. Yeah, There you go. He took your criticism. He's not offended. That's pretty good.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Katrina, this must feel like growth, right? You've encouraged this.

[Katrina]

I mean, I'm glad he learned. I'm glad that I was able to, like, help him expand his knowledge. Like, help the less fortunate in terms of what they know about fruit. Yeah, but it doesn't change how I feel.

[Brick]

The less fortunate. That is so rude.

[Brooke]

The fruit illiterate out there. It's a real problem.

[Rez]

I feel like I'm Oliver Twist over here. Like, I'm low class or something. I don't know what a cantaloupe is.

[Brick]

Hear that? Literary reference again. Proof the man reads.

[Brooke]

He did say twist. Weird, though.

[Brick]

This is so weird. Like, this is not a class thing. He just didn't know what a cantaloupe is. He knows now you guys can go out again.

[Rez]

Katrina, I mean, hear me out. In the moment, I did not know what a cantaloupe was. And, you know, like, apparently I should know this, and now I do. Everyone on the show knows.

[Brooke]

I know.

[Rez]

You know, we're all on the same page. I'm adaptable. I can learn.

[Brick]

Look at that.

[Jeffrey]

That's hard nowadays.

[Rez]

I was just never around cantaloupe. But, like, that doesn't seem like enough of a reason not to like me.

[Katrina]

I mean, I appreciate you saying that, and I don't mean to fruit shame you. It's just a. That I immediately felt like a yuck about you not knowing that basic thing. And I. I appreciate you taking the time to, like, do the research. I wish you would have, like, gone to the bathroom and Googled it instead of, like, running around and, like, gone to the bathroom in the middle of.

[Brick]

You getting you cantaloupe.

[Brooke]

Well, desperate times call for desperate measures sometimes. But. But, Katrina, I mean, in a lot of relationships, a big part of it is doing new things and exploring new things together. That could be your journey with Rez and educating him through all of the different types of fruits that exist in the world.

[Brick]

May know a lot of stuff that you don't know yet, too, you know? On the flip side. Oh, vegetables.

[Brooke]

Nobody needs to know that.

[Brick]

I'm just saying, you learn new interests and new stuff through people that you date.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Are you willing to keep an open mind and give Rez one more chance? And we would pay for it if you'd go out with him another time.

[Katrina]

I just think it's weird. Like, it's his brunch place. He brought me there. They have a lot of cantaloupe there. Like, I feel like he should have known it.

[Brick]

We can't. We can't get over this. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

If he doesn't remember one word in the future.

[Brick]

I know. It's like such a small hill to climb, you know, to jump over this moment.

[Brooke]

Everybody is different, Brooke. It's not your life that we're living here.

[Brick]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Katrina has standards. And one of the standards is cantaloupe. Or at least knowing what a cantaloupe is.

[Brick]

I guess we all have different boundaries.

[Brooke]

So, Katrina, I'm assuming that it's a no from you. That's kind of what I'm hearing, yeah.

[Katrina]

I just. I don't think I can get past it.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

What if he can name 10 fruits right now?

[Rez]

Apple, pear, pineapple, nectarine.

[Jeffrey]

I was kidding.

[Brooke]

Guava.

[Brick]

Guava. Hello.

[Jeffrey]

Brownie points for this.

[Brick]

There's no way he's picking guava out of a table.

[Jeffrey]

There's no way he doesn't know what it looks like.

[Brooke]

He just googled fruits right now and he's just looking it up.

[Jeffrey]

It's alphabetical order. Apple, banana, cherry.

[Brooke]

[Brooke]

Brooke, this might surprise you, but I kind of agree with you on this whole cantaloupe situation.

[Brick]

Oh, you've come to my side?

[Brooke]

Well, I agree it's a small problem that she should probably get over, right?

[Brick]

Sure.

[Brooke]

But it's more than just he doesn't know the name of One fruit.

[Brick]

What is it then?

[Brooke]

Like, this is just a small slice of a larger picture that Katrina is recognizing where she's thinking. God, if he doesn't know something as basic as this, how is he gonna fit into the rest of my life? Like with my upscale friends and my melon loving parents, will they accept him? Like, what else am I getting myself into? That's where her mind was at.

[Jeffrey]

What's gonna happen? And someone hands her a kumquat.

[Brick]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

She has no idea what. What to do. I don't even know what a kumquat looks like.

[Brooke]

Yeah. So it's like she's looking down the road of, like, other problems that are going to be arising if he doesn't know this.

[Brick]

Making problems. The real problem is how much fruit she's eating at breakfast instead of pancakes and bacon. That's not bad. She must spend a lot of time in the bathroom. Yeah, after that type of diet.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I'm with you on there. Should have eaten more meats, but still, you got to respect people for where their line is drawn. That's where she draws the line.

[Brick]

Okay. Cantaloupe, I guess. It's a very, very short line.

[Brooke]

Well, plus you have to weigh in the embarrassment too, of telling her friends she decided to go out with melon boy again. That's hard to come back from, but hopefully we can help you come back. If you're struggling to get a second date, email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back and go check out all of our second day podcasts wherever you get yours at.
