Theme:
A listener named Logan seeks Brooke and Jeffrey’s help after being ghosted by Ainsley following two promising encounters, including a successful first date.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. An Unusual (Yet Promising) Origin Story [04:27–08:09]

• Logan describes meeting Ainsley at a “divorce party”
  • Brooke: “Isn’t that like the opposite of a wedding shower?” [05:06]
  • Logan: “Yeah, it’s like celebrating being an eligible receiver.” [05:29]
• The party included burning photos from the ex-couple’s wedding in a “burn box,” dancing, and even a first kiss between Logan and Ainsley.
• They quickly arranged a second date (park walk, ice cream, Netflix at Logan’s).

2. Chemistry and Connection—But Sudden Silence [08:09–09:27]

• Logan recounts genuine chemistry: “I could not get this woman out of my mind.”
• The second meet-up turned into a “long Netflix chill session,” further cementing a strong early connection—until Ainsley stopped replying to his texts.
• Host: “You sound giddy. Honestly?” (to Logan) [08:41]
• Logan: “I’m bummed.” [09:03]

3. The Hosts’ Theories [09:32–10:55]

• The show speculates: Was Ainsley not interested in a relationship? Was she just out of a breakup and not ready? Or is there some deeper miscommunication?
• Brooke: “Maybe you’re looking for a relationship and she wasn’t, is my only thought.” [10:25]

4. Reaching Out to Ainsley [11:08–12:27]

5. The 'Sweet Treat' Misstep [13:30–14:57]

• Ainsley explains her discomfort:
  • Logan compared her favorably to his usual “intense gym girls,” saying he was “glad [she] wasn’t that.”
  • He complimented her foodie/“sweet treat” side, specifically that he liked being with a girl who enjoys dessert.
  • Ainsley: “‘I just want to be with a girl who I can share dessert with and who likes a little sweet treat.’…it just felt a little off.” [14:15]
• She felt boxed into a stereotype, as if her main appeal was her love of snacks and desserts.

6. Logan's Intentions & Awkward Recovery [15:11–17:29]

• Logan comes on the line, apologizing and clarifying:
  • Logan: “That was totally a compliment. It's a good thing.” [15:11]
  • He wanted a partner to “enjoy life” and not be strict about food.
  • The hosts mediate, noting intent vs. impact—trying to help Logan see how the comment landed.
• Brooke: “I think just a general rule is that we just don't comment on what people eat.” [17:23]

7. Towards Resolution: Communication & Second Chance [18:00–19:00]

• Ainsley, still a little embarrassed, expresses willingness for another try: “I appreciate all the effort he’s gone to. That’s why I’m open to doing something else besides eating with him.” [18:30]
• The hosts cheer the second chance and joke about what kind of date they should sponsor.

Notable Quotes & Moments

  • Host: “Who would have thought putting the final dagger into someone else's dying marriage could ignite a brand new romantic fire in your life?” [09:32]
• On The Compliment's Fallout:
  • Ainsley: “He said, ‘I'm just so used to hanging out with intense gym girls, and I'm so glad you're not that.’...Then he said, ‘I just want to be with a girl who I can share dessert with and who likes a little sweet treat.’” [13:38–14:29]
  • Ainsley: “To me, I'm like, oh, he just likes hanging out with me because I'm this girl who likes movies and ice creams and cookies and cakes and like, that’s it.” [14:33]

  • Ainsley: “I’m open to doing something else besides eating with him.” [18:30]
  • Logan: “This is like the best news I've gotten all day. And I'm honestly a guy that likes a sweet treat too, so...” [18:45]

Memorable Light-Hearted Banter

• Jeffrey: “Is she really three children standing on each other's shoulders in a trench coat? I'm just saying anything is possible.” [09:56]
• Brooke: “Just order it and get two spoons.” [18:55]
• Host: “I just wish we could send them someplace where food isn’t the focus. Like a gift card to Lowe’s.” [21:01]

• Signature Tone:
  The episode playfully highlights the hazards of modern dating missteps, but emphasizes empathy and mutual understanding.

For Listeners:
If you’re ever left wondering why someone ghosted after a seemingly great date, sometimes it’s just a small misunderstanding—a “sweet treat” of a compliment gone slightly sour.

[Brooke]

Here we go again, another brand new episode of your second date podcast. Welcome to it. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And today we got. I don't know what it is about. It's about something.

[Jeffrey]

It's about dating gone wrong.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's what it's about. That's right. Isn't that what they're all about?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's okay. Just always say it as rule. Rule, Brock. All right.

[Brooke]

But we'll reflect on yesterday's which was the update update where we got the Euro dating couple to check back in and apparently they've linked up with some of our listeners from our comment section. Yeah, I don't know if that was on YouTube I believe and are going to visit them.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Which is wild.

[Jeffrey]

It is wild because I think they're gonna be in first shock because we've got someone saying I'm Norwegian and this is not what we do. Well, as a European. Goodness me.

[Brooke]

Oh, watch the language. Europe. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we agree. And introduce kind of. But hell no. And European, blah blah blah. Just a lot, you know.

[Brooke]

Okay. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Still not on board for it. Nobody offering to meet up with them yet. Which is strange.

[Brooke]

I mean, I will say it's the first time ever that I want an update. Update, Update.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

When they get back from the trip to Norway.

[Logan]

Right?

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Brooke]

That is what we need. All right.

[Jeffrey]

First ever.

[Brooke]

Yeah, we're going to try to do that. But first let's listen to this brand new episode starts right now. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Host 1]

Meet someone in real life at a party. It's actually kind of nice because you two aren't the center of attention. You know, it's usually like a friend of a friend who introduces you. You get to chat for a minute, feel each other out. It's low stakes.

[Host 2]

Yeah.

[Host 1]

But in this case, apparently our listener Logan met someone at a different kind of party. Not like a birthday party or a house party. I really hope that you're not going to say furry party, because then we're going to have to make this a podcast exclusive, Logan. But what kind of party was it that you met this woman at?

[Logan]

It was a divorce party.

[Host 1]

A divorce party? What is that?

[Host 2]

Do we still make this an exclusive?

[Brooke]

Isn't that like the opposite of a wedding shower?

[Logan]

Basically. You know, one of my friends from work was getting divorced, and she invited a bunch of people, actually, from the office, which I would never invite my work colleagues to that, but she did. She wanted us to come.

[Host 1]

Okay.

[Host 2]

Okay.

[Public Investing Advertiser]

What do you do?

[Host 2]

She knows you.

[Jeffrey]

It's like a bachelorette party. Like, you go out and wear a sash that says, like, just divorced.

[Brooke]

Oh, that'd be cute.

[Logan]

Yeah, it's like celebrating being an eligible receiver.

[Host 1]

Okay, so, okay, your work friend invited you over to this divorce party she was having, and you met someone.

[Logan]

Yes, the lady who was getting divorced. I met some of her friends, and one of them was Ainsley, and we really hit it off.

[Brooke]

Interesting. I mean, I would guess there'd probably be quite a few single people at a divorce party.

[Host 1]

So it is an interesting dynamic because you're sitting celebrating a relationship ending while at the same time starting a brand new one, looking to. Looking to right in front of their face.

[Host 2]

I wonder what's the room like? Because most married people are friends with other married people, so is it a lot of married couples?

[Brooke]

Well, that's why she invited the co workers.

[Sheba Cat Food Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Host 1]

Mix it up. What was it like hanging out with Ainsley at the party?

[Logan]

You know, we hung out twice one time at the party, and we were actually. We were going back and forth, laughing about the burn box, which.

[Host 1]

Oh, what's that? Burn box?

[Logan]

Yeah. It's basically like a little fire where you literally torch all the photos from the divorced girl's wedding.

[Host 2]

Oh, I feel like this has been a thing, right? Like a burn part. I. I've heard about this.

[Ainsley]

Okay.

[Host 1]

Thousands and thousands of dollars worth of photography up in flames, literally.

[Brooke]

That's an interesting way to meet someone. Are you, like. So do you still. Do you still believe in love?

[Host 1]

Oh, my God.

[Logan]

You know, we're selling the poss of fresh new love.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Logan]

We were. They started playing all these breakup songs. We were dancing, and we actually kissed at the party.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Host 2]

Wow.

[Brooke]

I mean, divorce just gets you in the mood, you know?

[Logan]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Never heard that sentence before.

[Logan]

Right.

[Host 1]

Brook says so. Okay. You got a kiss at the party. That's nice. And then you were able to do another date?

[Logan]

Yeah, so actually, when we met up for our date, I just. I could not get this woman out of my mind. I just. I went in for it and I kissed her again and it was great.

[Host 2]

Wow, that's bold. And she liked it?

[Logan]

Yes, she did.

[Brooke]

Calling him back.

[Host 2]

So she didn't like slap you afterwards or something? Or push you away?

[Logan]

I mean, she was into it. She kissed me back and we went on our date, grabbed some ice cream, and we went back to my place and watched some Netflix.

[Brooke]

Okay, when did she leave?

[Logan]

Let's just say it was a pretty long Netflix chill session.

[Host 1]

Okay, you watch a multi part docu series.

[Discover Advertiser]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[Host 1]

Okay, that's. Oh yeah, for me, that's a 15 minute session. I'm assuming it's the same for you.

[Brooke]

I feel like that's even a little bit too gratuitous. Yeah.

[Host 1]

Really had to get my energy drink going on for that one.

[Logan]

Yeah, no, I'll just say it definitely lasted a little longer than that. But it ended with the kids and it was a great time. But now she's not really answering my text messages and I have no idea why.

[Brooke]

I mean, it sounds like when you talk about her, you sound giddy. Honestly?

[Host 1]

Yeah, it's like creepy.

[Brooke]

No, it's giddy.

[Host 1]

In a good way, is what she does.

[Logan]

Yes.

[Host 2]

She wants to pounce and kiss her.

[Brooke]

I know. You just sound excited. Like that's like a really big bummer that she wouldn't be calling you back.

[Host 2]

I mean, if I'm in your position, I'm so bummed you have like two magical experiences with this girl.

[Logan]

Yes. I'm bombed.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's why. On the phone with us.

[Host 1]

Okay, that makes sense. Well, we're going to do our job for you. We'll come back and call this woman and figure out why she doesn't want to hang out with the guy who can go more than 15 minutes in a Netflix session.

[Logan]

15?

[Host 1]

I know.

[Host 2]

More than.

[Host 1]

That's amazing.

[Host 2]

16 minutes.

[Host 1]

They braggart in the room. We'll do it with your second date update right after this. Hold on.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Host 1]

Nothing says true love like burning someone else's old wedding photos in a fire. That's how our listener Logan met Ainsley. At a mutual friend's divorce party. And who would have thought putting the final dagger into someone else's dying marriage could ignite a brand new romantic fire in your life?

[Brooke]

But I mean, here we are.

[Host 2]

It's almost meant to be, Jeff.

[Host 1]

Almost. But that flame has dimmed significantly since their Netflix and chill sesh that lasted well over 15 minutes, as we've learned. So what's really going on? Is she actually in a secret marriage? Is she really three children standing on each other's shoulders in a trench coat? I'm just saying anything is possible. Are you open to possibilities, Logan?

[Logan]

I'm open.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Host 1]

I mean, even if it's three kids, I'm open. Okay.

[Brooke]

I will say, maybe you're looking for a relationship and she wasn't, is my only thought. Like she's at a divorce party. She's probably not in the mindset thinking,

[Host 2]

boyfriend, that might be a great. I didn't even think about that.

[Logan]

I mean, we didn't have that conversation, per se, but she was. I seemed to be pretty open to meeting people, in my opinion.

[Brooke]

The way you said that.

[Host 1]

Does she want to meet any people? Seriously, though, that's the real question.

[Brooke]

Guess we're about to find out.

[Host 1]

Let's find out if she even answers the phone. I'm gonna dial her number right now. We'll see if Ainsley picks up. Here we go.

[Ainsley]

Hello?

[Host 1]

Hey, is this Ainsley?

[Ainsley]

This is Ainsley. Who is this?

[Host 1]

Hey, Ainsley. This is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Host 2]

Hi, Ainsley. Good morning, guys. You guys got to speak up, too. It sounds like it's just me and Jeff here.

[Host 1]

We're having fun here.

[Brooke]

Fine.

[Host 1]

Some of us are having fun.

[Host 2]

Yeah, some of us are.

[Brooke]

Hi, Ainsley. Welcome to the show.

[Ainsley]

Thank you.

[Host 1]

This is a segment we do. It's called A Second Date Update.

[Host 2]

Master Jeff, more information.

[Host 1]

You got it. So this is a segment where we try to help listeners who've been out on a date with somebody, and afterwards, they're not getting a call back. We can step in to try and help them figure out if there's a reason why.

[Ainsley]

Okay.

[Host 1]

I don't think she's getting it.

[Brooke]

Brooke, you have to tell her who called.

[Host 2]

Yeah.

[Host 1]

Oh, this is about a guy named Logan that you recently went out with.

[Ainsley]

Oh, wow.

[Host 2]

I think she's going to get it now. Yes.

[Brooke]

You met him at a divorce party.

[Host 2]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Which is a wild place to meet somebody, huh?

[Ainsley]

Yes, it is. Yes, it is.

[Host 2]

Okay.

[Host 1]

But as wild as it was, it seemed to work out because you two met up for a date. From the sounds of it, a walk through the park, some ice cream, some Netflix.

[Ainsley]

Yes, we did.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. Okay, so you sound excited, like you're smiling or embarrassed. No, I don't know. Am I reading that right or.

[Ainsley]

My face is definitely a little red right now. In the beginning, I was feeling the same way. I was feeling very strongly about him.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Logan]

Okay.

[Host 1]

That was the beginning. But what changed?

[Ainsley]

I don't. I don't know what he told you about our second hangout. I don't know.

[Host 1]

You know, it's basically the recap that I gave you that you met up, you went to a walk through the park, you guys had ice cream together, went back to his place to watch Netflix and etc. Things happened. Good things.

[Brooke]

He didn't say that. He said there was a nice kiss.

[Host 1]

Okay, I'm trying not to go into too much graphic detail about what he

[Brooke]

told us, but he didn't tell us anything graphic.

[Host 1]

It felt pretty graphic on my end. It was graphic.

[Brooke]

The guy told us nothing. He just said he had a nice evening with you.

[Host 1]

But the way he said it was, like, nice in a good way.

[Ainsley]

Well, it was. But I don't know if he told you about conversation that we had while we were watching a movie and.

[Host 1]

No, you were not aware of that conversation.

[Ainsley]

Okay, well, I think he tried to compliment me because he was. He was giving me lots of compliments, but at one point, he said that I'm just so used to hanging out with intense gym girls, and I'm so glad you're not that.

[Host 1]

I'm sorry. Intense gym girls?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Ainsley]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

So, I mean, yeah, sure, you could jump to the conclusion that that may be backhanded, like, you don't work out, but, like, that's not obviously what someone would mean, right?

[Host 1]

Well, what do you think he meant?

[Ainsley]

It did seem genuine, so I was trying to hear him out, and I really think he meant it in a kind way. But then he kept going and he said, I just want to be with a girl who I can share dessert with and who likes a little sweet treat.

[Host 2]

That does make it worse.

[Ainsley]

I'm like, listen, he's not wrong. But to me, I'm like, oh, he just likes hanging out with me because I'm this girl who likes movies and ice creams and cookies and cakes and, like, that's it.

[Brooke]

That's not a bad girl to be. That's a girl.

[Host 2]

I am.

[Ainsley]

I mean, it just. It just felt a little off. And I've held off texting him back because I'm like, that didn't feel great.

[Brooke]

Oh, I bet he would be really bummed to hear you took it that way.

[Host 2]

Yeah, I'm sure he would be upset to know he upset you. Yeah.

[Host 1]

And we can know that for sure because he is on the other line of this phone call, listening and waiting to talk to you.

[Logan]

Yes, I am here. And I just want to make it clear, like, that was totally a compliment. I enjoyed that about you. It's a good thing.

[Ainsley]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

Maybe we don't double down immediately.

[Logan]

Yeah.

[Ainsley]

Listen, this is super embarrassing. I didn't know you were on the line.

[Logan]

No, yeah, I've been here the whole time.

[Host 1]

Logan, you hear what she's saying? Like, how she read what your comment was?

[Logan]

Yes. I'm sorry you took it that way. I just wanted to say, like, I've been with gym girls in the past who. Yes. These meal plans that they're on, they're just so exhausting. It's like chicken and veggies all the time. So I, you know, I enjoy someone I could go out with and grab ice cream with and have a cheat meal. And it's. It's nice.

[Host 2]

It's not making this bad. I know.

[Host 1]

Is that a compliment?

[Host 2]

Yeah, I think so.

[Logan]

Yes.

[Host 2]

It's like someone being like, I only date models. It's so refreshing to not date a perfect person.

[Logan]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

What do you expect? I mean, you can't have a perfect body and eat all the things like, you don't get it. All right, sure.

[Host 1]

You don't have to say it to their face.

[Logan]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I don't know. I like my men with a little bit of, you know, something to grab on to.

[Host 2]

Like a little dad bod, maybe.

[Host 1]

I mean. Ainsley, how are you feeling right now?

[Ainsley]

I'm a little embarrassed, but I believe him. I know he's. He had. There's no meanness behind what he's saying, but it's still kind of like, oh,

[Logan]

and, you know, I feel. I feel really bad about this. Can I send you, like, a cookie bouquet or something to your place?

[Host 1]

Well, okay.

[Logan]

I don't know.

[Ainsley]

You know, I like things other than dessert.

[Host 2]

Yeah, I know.

[Host 1]

The way you're insinuating.

[Brooke]

I think he's trying to be funny. Like, that was supposed to be a joke, right?

[Logan]

I mean, when we were at the divorce party, like, there were a lot of really good treats there. You know, we were having some of the cookies that they had there, and you. You were going to town. You seemed like you really enjoyed it.

[Ainsley]

Oh, my God.

[Host 2]

My little cookie lover. Yes.

[Logan]

I love them, too. They were so good.

[Host 2]

Oh, sure.

[Brooke]

No.

[Host 1]

Yes.

[Host 2]

That makes it feel better.

[Host 1]

Definitely.

[Brooke]

I think just a general rule is that we just don't comment on what people eat. Maybe it's just a good rule.

[Ainsley]

Yeah.

[Host 2]

It's not their own diet.

[Host 1]

Yeah, but I mean, what's the fun with that, though?

[Brooke]

Like the type of situation where you just order the fries and then you see what happens.

[Host 2]

Yes. You know what's going to.

[Host 1]

And don't say anything about them.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Don't comment on how many you've taken.

[Jeffrey]

Don't compare to gym girls.

[Host 2]

Yes.

[Logan]

Yeah, I could completely do that. Would that make you feel comfortable, Ainsley? Like, if I order fries in front

[Host 2]

of you, it comes out so weird with me.

[Ainsley]

You know what? Maybe we just don't talk about the food.

[Host 2]

I don't think he understands yet.

[Brooke]

Okay, but that. That sounded like potential future talk.

[Host 1]

Let's not talk about food anymore. Let's just talk about the possibility of you two meeting up for another date.

[Host 2]

Chemistry.

[Host 1]

Because if Ainsley is open to it, we would pay for that second meetup. Pretty sure.

[Brooke]

To the Cheesecake Factory.

[Host 2]

Well, like, see candies if you want.

[Host 1]

I don't know. We'll find something that works for you, Ainsley. But what do you think? Giving it one more shot with Logan?

[Ainsley]

I appreciate all the effort he's gone to. To contact me. That's why I'm open to doing something else besides eating with him.

[Brooke]

She's gonna be so self conscious now.

[Logan]

Hey, no, this is like the best news I've gotten all day. And I'm honestly a guy that likes a sweet treat too, so. Hey, you know, I get it.

[Host 2]

Yeah, it's not all about dessert.

[Jeffrey]

Nope.

[Brooke]

Just order it and get two spoons.

[Host 2]

There you go.

[Host 1]

Order for yourself.

[CarMax Advertiser]

All right.

[Host 1]

And it's refreshing for Ainsley to not have to go out with those super gym bro models too, I'm sure. Right, Ains?

[Ainsley]

That is true. Yeah.

[Host 2]

Your boyfriend will put his face into the pie.

[Logan]

Wait, what do you mean by that?

[Host 2]

Oh, wait, now he's clueing in

[Host 1]

they said yes to a second date. Don't get me wrong.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Host 1]

But I do feel weird now about sending them a gift card to Applebee's or Cheesecake Factory.

[Brooke]

You do? Yeah. You should.

[Host 1]

Even Hooters. I just don't feel good about it.

[Host 2]

Yeah, the wings will be okay.

[Host 1]

I just wish we could send them someplace where food isn't the focus. Like a gift card to Lowe's or to Office Max.

[Host 2]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

That's so boring though.

[Host 1]

I know.

[Host 2]

Let's send them to one of those, like, skydive places that you can go in the tube. I'll just shoot you in the air.

[Brooke]

Let me take this woman out a couple of times and show her how to eat right. And show her that it's okay.

[Host 1]

Okay. No shame in that game.

[Brooke]

There's no shame in eating.

[Logan]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Host 1]

Personally, I just love that we're not a radio show that's all obsessed with being funny and helping people and making a positive difference in the world.

[Host 2]

I thought that's what we did.

[Host 1]

Those shows are annoying. We don't do that.

[Logan]

She went out again.

[Brooke]

That was positive.

[Host 2]

That's part of the reason I work here is because of that.

[Host 1]

Oh, well, yeah, totally. It was a compliment.

[Host 2]

Oh, different motivation.

[Brooke]

You know what? I don't think it does feel good anymore.

[Host 1]

Well, I don't know how to feel. Maybe you can tell us how to feel if you go listen to our podcast. You can comment, like, subscribe, wherever you find them. They're up online at Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

Take a tip from me. Wet it, set it, prep it. Done. Make it easy. Make it with Reynolds Kitchens countertop prep paper, available now in the Reynolds Wrap aisle in Walmart, Target, Amazon and Costco.
