Second Date Update. All right, let's do a hypothetical here.
Alexis
I always love those.
Brooke
And Brooke, we're gonna pretend that you're single, okay?
Jeffrey
Hey.
Alexis
Okay, Is that.
Brooke
Is that single you? I know. She perked up. Crazy happy. Finally.
Alexis
No, I love being married to my husband. Okay, but let's say for a long.
Brooke
Time you're hanging out at the bar, you're the same age that you are right now. Oh, I don't want to say it out loud. Just keep that in mind. But again, you're single and you see a cute guy cross the room.
Alexis
Okay.
Brooke
Very attractive. Do you approach him or do you try to get him to notice you so that he walks over?
Alexis
I've never had any tact, so I would definitely approach him. Brooke's an approacher for sure.
Brooke
Okay. Yeah. And what do you, what do you do?
Alexis
Oh, I don't know, maybe buy him a drink.
Brooke
Oh, you don't do anything extra. You're just like, hi, I'm Brooke, I think you're cute. Can I buy you a drink? You flash a bunch of money in his face and try to win him over like that.
Alexis
I've told many guys at bars when I was single, you're hot.
Brooke
We love that. No, we would. I love that. Girls will finally tell you.
Alexis
Told you. I don't have much shame or anything or game. Well, no, not really, but it works. I'm telling you, like it works.
Brooke
I do think you forgot I said you're still your same age as now, but I'm going to let you get away with that one.
Alexis
So I'm still say that it may have looked more desperate at my age.
Brooke
But can I buy you an old fashion. I bring it up cuz one of our Listeners says that he got approached by not just one, but two different women, and he thinks he knows the secret on how that happened. Oh, boy. Okay, so let's talk to him. Tony, welcome to the show. Hi.
Jeffrey
How you guys doing?
Alexis
We're my two twins at the bar. Is that why.
Brooke
She means look alikes, not the other thing, not the girls?
Alexis
I didn't think about that. Sounded like you were, anyway.
Brooke
Really putting it on, bro. Classic Brook there.
Alexis
She's accidentally hitting on it.
Brooke
I know. Tony, apologize for Brooke, but I know you went on a date recently. Who was it with?
Jeffrey
Her name's Gemma. We actually met on a dating app.
Alexis
I thought you said somebody approached you at the bar. You met at a date on a dating app.
Jeffrey
Yeah, so I know. Sorry. That might have been a little confusing. So we went to this Mexican spot, and they have these, like, giant, long shared table things. Oh, cool.
Alexis
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like community seating.
Jeffrey
Yeah, exactly. We're, like, sitting with different parties and stuff like that. And it's kind of social. You know, people are talking to each other and interacting. But I thought that I was being pretty clear to the rest of the restaurant that me and Gemma are not brother and sister. We were there on a date together.
Brooke
Oh, how do you. How do you be clear about that? Like, T shirts matching. This is my date. That would be brother, sister. Oh, actually, yeah, that is worse. Why was. I assume not? Yeah. Do you guys look alike?
Jeffrey
No, I don't think so. But it was more like the way we got treated, I guess, because we were. I mean, we were flirting. We were doing the whole date thing, and these two girls were kind of across from us. And like I said, it was a social thing. And Gemma at one point got up and she went to the bathroom. And during that time, these two girls came over and sat on either side of me and just kind of inserted themselves into the situation.
Alexis
Oh, were they asking about your date? Like, you know, I can see, like, two girls that are out together. They're like, oh, look at. They're on a first date. Let's go mess. You know what I mean?
Brooke
She thinks it's going bad. I think it's going great.
Alexis
Let us know. Was it like.
Brooke
I don't know.
Jeffrey
I don't know what it was, but when Gemma came back to the table, she kind of sat not in the seat that they were in, but a little away from me. Like, across from me, almost.
Alexis
The women were still there when she came back from the bathroom?
Jeffrey
Yeah, they stayed there.
Brooke
And that's a bad look.
Jeffrey
They were Basically just paying attention to me. They were like laughing at jokes that I was trying to say and stuff like that. So it was weird.
Brooke
Is it good at all that maybe she saw that they liked your vibe.
Alexis
And she was like, oh, not at all.
Brooke
Not even like a tiny bit.
Alexis
They're like making it a joke, right? And they're including her and it feels like a group thing, but this sounds like she was really left out.
Brooke
Yeah, it probably hurt.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jeffrey
I was trying to do everything I could to show her, non verbally that I am not interested in them. I mean, I'm trying to play footsie with her. I'm trying to engage with her and let her know, like, hey, I didn't ask these girls to come over here. They just did it on their own. They've got nothing to do with me.
Alexis
You didn't do everything because you didn't move or ask them to move.
Brooke
And one time I pretended to fall asleep during a date to get the message across that I wasn't interested. I kissed one of them and I gave her that. She's a bad kid. What do you think? Like, in your mind, what do you think was happening there?
Jeffrey
I kind of. And I told her this too. I think the only reason that they were even interested in me to begin with was because I was out with a really attractive girl. And that's the only time that that ever happened to me.
Alexis
Did Gemma like that reason?
Jeffrey
Not at all.
Alexis
Were you able to salvage the date at all?
Brooke
Yeah, that's a good point.
Alexis
Like, how long were they there?
Jeffrey
They were there for the rest of the date, but we didn't stay much longer. We awkwardly left and she wasn't really talking to me at the end. And no kiss or anything like that. We just kind of hugged and.
Brooke
Yeah, we know. What the. Did you bring it up with Gemma, though? About like, sorry about those two girls. Like, I wasn't interested.
Alexis
He told her the whole reason he thought they were doing that after.
Brooke
After the date or during?
Jeffrey
Yeah, well, the girls were right there, so it was hard for me to address it at the table. I just waited till we were in the car and I apologized for their behavior and said, look, I had nothing to do with me. I'm sorry. It was weird.
Alexis
What did she say?
Brooke
Good.
Jeffrey
She said she understood, but there wasn't much after that.
Alexis
Yeah. Dang. What do you wish you would have done differently?
Jeffrey
It was a weird social situation. So, I mean, I guess I. I should have asked for a private table, but that was kind of the whole experience of the Spot was to do that with other people.
Brooke
Weird. I wonder. I wonder what her like side is. Yeah. What does she see? Well, we'll get that from her when we reach out to her, but at least next time probably need to avoid the shared long tables. Yeah, yeah.
Alexis
Table for two or just accepting attention from other women. Just the sandwiching of the two women, I think is probably what you need to avoid when you're with a girl.
Brooke
Curb other chicks, bro. And hopefully we'll get some answers when we reach out to Gemma for you and come back. Try to get your second date update. Right after this second date update, one of our listeners, Tony, went out on a one on one date that suddenly turned into a three on one date. Oh, boy. And the person who got excluded was Gemma, the woman that he actually came to the restaurant with because two random girls got up and sat down right next to Tony as soon as Gemma went off to the bathroom. So when she came back to the table, she was forced to sit across from everybody else. Oh, gosh. And the whole rest of the night was kind of awkward.
Alexis
From there, he tried to play footsies. Yeah.
Brooke
Just to show Gemma that I'm actually interested in you. I don't really care about these two new girls, but she was kind of out of reach. I think she was a little far.
Alexis
And Tony, it's probably just a table leg under there.
Brooke
Tony's thoughts on why this happened was actually pretty flattering towards Gemma. Saying that she was so attractive, that these other ladies must have been paying him attention, thinking, oh, wow, this guy's with this gorgeous woman. He must have something pretty special. Either downstairs or upstairs. Who knows? At least that's Tony's thoughts on the situation. We need to get Gemma's thoughts and see if we can recover.
Alexis
Yeah. How you feeling, Tony?
Jeffrey
A little nervous, but I get. I. I kind of am knowing what to expect, I think.
Brooke
Okay. That's how you're feeling upstairs. How you feeling downstairs? I'm trying to play foot. Yeah. Nerves going everywhere.
Alexis
Have you talked to her at all since the date?
Jeffrey
No, I haven't gotten a response back from her.
Brooke
We went from three women to zero now, giving Tony attention. So hopefully he doesn't have the option. He didn't get their numbers well. Yeah, I know.
Alexis
Wait, did you. We didn't ask.
Jeffrey
Oh, no, absolutely.
Brooke
Make this call. Yeah. Because that's pretty clear. Asking for their numbers in front of her, but. Okay. Well, good luck out there. Yeah. Let's call Gemma. We'll see if she picks up and hopefully we'll Figure out what's going on. Okay.
Jeffrey
All right, cool.
Brooke
Let's do it.
Gemma
Hello?
Brooke
Hi, we're looking to talk to Gemma.
Gemma
This is Gemma.
Brooke
Hey, thanks for picking up Gemma. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Gemma
Oh, okay. Weird. Why are you calling me?
Brooke
Well, we're doing a segment called a Second Date Update. Not sure if you're familiar with that, but we're trying to help out one of our listeners. Get a hold of you after you went out on a date with him recently. Guy named Tony.
Gemma
Oh, my God, did you just gag?
Alexis
Is that what I heard? Okay, was it like a cough where.
Brooke
You clear your throat?
Gemma
Listen, I don't know what this guy told you, but it was a very, very awkward and incredibly weird date.
Alexis
He actually told us something similar.
Brooke
Yeah, we did hear about some of the events that occurred at the Mexico. Mexican place with the. The two girls coming sit right next to Tony at the communal table while you went off to the bathroom.
Gemma
Yeah, those.
Alexis
Seriously. Okay, we honestly that that's kind of a good sign, Gemma, because that means that you were disappointed. You know what I mean? Well, I mean, I'm just saying, like, you liked him. Like, because if you didn't like him, you might come back and be like, thank God. Thank you, ladies, saved me.
Gemma
Now that's putting a really nice spin on it, but. Yeah.
Brooke
Well, Tony says that he felt really bad about how it all went down. We're curious how you felt about the situation.
Gemma
Yeah, and I'm sure he did. Honestly, like at first when I came back and I was like, what? And then I saw how Tony was like, clearly a little uncomfortable, so I was kind of. I was kind of laughing like inside.
Brooke
Oh, okay. Oh, that's such a relief.
Alexis
What do you think their intentions were?
Gemma
Oh, I know what their intentions were. I'm pretty. I'm pretty sure Tony, by the way, is a really good looking guy. And they like, they swarmed in like locusts or whatever. I don't know.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
I think we're doing cicadas lately.
Brooke
Yeah, I thought it's cicadas too. But you said that you didn't blame that on him.
Gemma
I don't think he invited this necessarily, but I started to get kind of irritated with these girls, these two girls. I was like, get the hint, ladies? Yeah, he's with me. So Tony was so like flummoxed or whatever that he didn't even notice. But I. I called the waiter over and I was like, tried. Attempted to bribe the waiter to spill salsa on these girls.
Alexis
Did he do it? Did the waiter do it? How much money does something like that cost? I'm just curious. The waiter's probably annoyed with them too. If they're this type of person, maybe.
Brooke
Honestly, salsa's $6 plus tips. Nine bucks.
Gemma
I waved a 20 at him and he was like, I'm sorry, I can't do that.
Brooke
I hope you gave that restaurant a bad review.
Alexis
I still don't understand that you're not blaming Tony. So why are you mad at him? Why did you go?
Gemma
I don't blame Tony in the beginning for not doing anything, but by the end, this went on for so long. He should have done more.
Alexis
I could see that. Yeah, I think he feels that way too.
Brooke
Yeah. Here's the deal. You actually sound pretty understanding about the who situation. You're giving Tony a little bit of leeway on it, but we can maybe fix this. Because I do have to let you know Tony is currently listening to this conversation on the other line waiting to talk to you.
Gemma
Oh, my God. Are you kidding? Me.
Brooke
And the other girls are there.
Alexis
No, they're not.
Brooke
That's a joke.
Alexis
That's a joke. Alexis and I, that's the only women. Yeah.
Brooke
Tony, you there?
Jeffrey
Hi. Yeah, I am here.
Alexis
That's it? That's very formal, Tony.
Gemma
Hey, Tony.
Jeffrey
Yeah, hi.
Brooke
Maybe you should say something to her.
Jeffrey
Yeah, well, first off, I just want to apologize for what happened. I had nothing to do with them coming over. Obviously, I didn't ask them, but I. I didn't know what to do, to be honest with you. It was a weird, awkward sit. Like just. It was our first date. I don't know these people at all.
Brooke
Okay, that was. That was good, Tony. You can let her respond to that.
Gemma
Yeah, yeah, I get it. And I appreciate the apology, Tony, but you already apologized. You told me that on the car ride. I'm not hearing anything new.
Brooke
Okay, come up with a better apology, Tony. Go ahead.
Alexis
It does kind of sound like he's still blaming the women. Like he's not. Like, you need to own up to, like, your own non action a little bit more.
Brooke
Are you just like a very non confrontational person, brother?
Jeffrey
Like, no, I. I would consider myself a non confrontational person. That's why it was a tough position too.
Alexis
Is that hot for you, Gemma?
Brooke
That's kind of a good point.
Gemma
No. I mean, I don't want a guy who's like, punching people in the face, but, like, you gotta be a little more forceful.
Brooke
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he was just trying to be as respectful as he could. And he handled it the wrong way.
Alexis
Yeah, you're not a confrontational guy either. Like you get where he. He's coming from.
Brooke
What are you saying, Brooke? You trying to put me in a corner right now? How dare you?
Alexis
Did I just break Jeff?
Brooke
Let's not turn this into a situation with us, Gemma. Clearly, Tony is remorseful about what happened and how he behaved. I'm sure he's. He's even told us next time he doesn't want to do communal tables. Yeah, he's like, I will reserve a table for two. So we'd like to help facilitate that second date and even pay for it, if you're willing to give him another shot. What do you think, Gemma?
Gemma
I appreciate that offer, but I have just made a decision since this incident that I just. I don't want this to be my life going forward. I don't want to be going out and fighting off girls, raping themselves all over my date. So I've made a couple of adjustments.
Alexis
What does that mean?
Gemma
Well, I'm gonna date down.
Alexis
What? Hey, you're just gonna date the guys that you find less attractive.
Brooke
What does that mean?
Alexis
Less competition.
Gemma
I'm not gonna go after, like, the hottest guy. You know, the hottest guy and the dating profile. Because I just don't need this kind of headache. I mean, I like you, Tony, but you're just too attractive for what I'm looking for right now. I cannot deal with the competition.
Brooke
I don't know if we've heard that one on the second date update before. Dating is so backward.
Jeffrey
This is the most ridiculous response. I was not expecting that at all.
Alexis
Like what?
Brooke
The good guys finished. Convince her that you're not as attractive as she thinks you are.
Jeffrey
Yeah, you have no idea, Gemma. By the way, this never happens to me. Like, if I'm out with my friends, no girls are approaching me.
Alexis
It's not a hot.
Brooke
I usually repulse women. Yeah, it's your. Something's weird about you that you like me.
Alexis
I swear I'll stop brushing my teeth and washing my face.
Gemma
Magnet. And your friends? Just repel them. Okay, great.
Brooke
So he hasn't convinced you that he's ugly enough.
Gemma
I've been with him in person. He's cute. He knows he's cute. And he's not gonna get any less cute.
Brooke
Well, Tony, you started with one woman on a date, landed two more, and now you've ended up with zero because you're too attractive. Now, that's boy math.
Jeffrey
Ridiculous.

Episode Title: Second Date Update Classic: Hot Date Hijack
Available on: iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify
Overview
In this engaging episode of Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update, hosts Brooke and Jeffrey delve into a listener’s challenging dating experience that unfolded at a social restaurant with communal seating. The episode, titled "Classic: Hot Date Hijack," explores the complexities of navigating a date where unexpected social interactions complicate the connection between two individuals.
Listener Story: Tony’s Awkward Date
The episode centers around Tony, a listener who recently went on a date with Gemma, another listener. Their first date took an unexpected turn when two other women joined their communal table, leading to an uncomfortable and confusing situation.
At [05:11], Jeffrey shares Tony’s account:
Jeffrey: "We went to this Mexican spot with giant, long shared tables. It was meant to be social, but things got weird when two girls sat on either side of me while Gemma was in the bathroom."
Interruption and Flustered Dynamics
As Gemma stepped away, the two women began interacting flirtatiously with Tony, making Tony feel uncomfortable and undermining his efforts to focus on Gemma. Despite Tony’s attempts to maintain his attention on Gemma, the presence of the other women created tension and confusion.
At [06:49], Jeffrey explains:
Jeffrey: "I was trying to show Gemma that I'm not interested in them, but they continued to engage with me, laughing at my jokes and invading our space."
Brooke and Jeffrey’s Analysis
Brooke and Jeffrey analyze the situation, discussing possible motives behind the other women's behavior and Tony’s non-confrontational approach. They highlight the challenges Tony faced in a social setting designed to encourage mingling, making it difficult to maintain a private and meaningful connection.
At [08:15], Jeffrey reflects on the dynamics:
Jeffrey: "I think the only reason they were interested was because I was with someone attractive. It always happened when I was on a date with a great-looking person."
Attempting to Salvage the Date
The date eventually became awkward as Gemma returned to the table and sat away from Tony, leading to a premature end without any intimate gestures like a kiss. Tony attempted to apologize to Gemma afterward, emphasizing his lack of control over the situation.
At [09:00], Jeffrey mentions:
Jeffrey: "I apologized to her in the car, explaining that I had nothing to do with the girls joining us. But it still felt weird, and the date ended on an awkward note."
Consequences and Gemma’s Decision
The episode takes a pivotal turn when Brooke and Jeffrey reach out to Gemma to gain her perspective. Gemma shares her frustration with the situation, ultimately deciding to “date down” to avoid similar complications in the future.
At [17:57], Gemma states:
Gemma: "I'm just going to date guys that I find less attractive because I don't need this kind of headache. I like you, Tony, but you're too attractive for what I'm looking for right now."
Insights and Takeaways
