---

Introduction to Second Date Dilemmas

The episode kicks off with Brooke and Alexis discussing the dichotomy between neurotic, over-planning individuals and the more relaxed, go-with-the-flow types. This sets the stage for Russell's story, who identifies firmly with the laid-back demeanor.

Brooke introduces the concept:

"Second date update there's two types of people that you're gonna meet in the dating world. The neurotic, uptight over planners like Brooke, who have to schedule out every minute of the entire evening months in advance or they won't even have a good time. Is that true, Brooke?" [02:24]

Alexis counters:

"No. I can't show up on time for anything, let alone, like, over plan it. Do you not know me?" [02:42]

This playful banter underscores the show's engaging and humorous tone, setting up Russell's story as a case study for the audience.

Russell’s First Date with Whitney

Russell shares his experience meeting Whitney at a darts bar, reminiscing about how a simple "how's it going?" led to what he hoped would be a connection. He describes the first date as unconventional—driving around the city without any planned activities, simply enjoying each other's company.

Russell recounts:

"I was at this place with coworkers, and she was part of the group next to us. I just said to her, 'how's it going?' You know, that's it." [04:47]

The date lasted about an hour and a half, filled with conversations about family, work, and personal interests, with both parties laughing and sharing stories.

Russell adds:

"It wasn't as awkward as it sounds. We're talking about our family, our lives, our work. She was laughing. I was laughing." [07:00]

Despite the friendly atmosphere, the date lacked conventional elements like dinner or drinks, leading to Russell feeling uncertain about the connection.

---

The Double Standard: Living with Parents

As Brooke and Alexis dissect the date, a significant issue emerges: both Russell and Whitney live with their parents. Whitney expresses that living with her parents is a deal breaker for continuing the relationship, despite Russell also residing with his family.

Whitney states:

"He needs to have his own place. He needs to be able to provide." [12:54]

This declaration shocks Russell, especially when it’s revealed that Whitney herself also lives at home. The conversation highlights a double standard in expectations.

Russell reacts:

"I think this is completely ridiculous. Like, we should be closer to one another because we have the same situation. We're trying to get out of it, and I am saving towards a goal." [16:00]

Brooke points out the irony:

"What we're learning here is the reason that you're not going out with Russell is because he lives with his family, even though you also live with your family." [15:03]

---

Interactive Intervention: Calling Whitney

In a bold move, Brooke and Alexis decide to call Whitney live on air to get her perspective. This segment introduces a real-time twist, offering immediate insights and resolutions.

Brooke introduces the call:

"We're gonna call Whitney. Let's dial her number and see if she picks up. Here we go." [10:30]

Whitney confirms:

"Hello?" [10:51]

Brooke explains the show's premise:

"We're a morning radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. This segment is called a Second Date Update. We're trying to help listeners get another date after they went out with someone one time." [11:07]

---

Whitney’s Perspective and the Realization

During the call, Whitney candidly discusses her view on Russell's living situation, emphasizing the importance of independence and financial stability. However, the twist reveals that Whitney herself also resides with her parents, creating a clear conflict in her standards.

Whitney shares:

"He lives with his parents. He's not stable. He's codependent on his parents." [12:54]

The revelation that Whitney also lives with her parents leads to an awkward and humorous discussion about the practicality of dating under such circumstances.

Brooke summarizes:

"Why do you always bring them down right before we do this? Why do you always do that?" [09:55]

---

Conclusion: No Second Date for Russell

Despite attempts to brainstorm solutions, such as suggesting dates away from their parents' homes, Whitney remains steadfast in her decision. The hosts humorously acknowledge the improbability of overcoming this obstacle, ultimately informing Russell that a second date is off the table.

Brooke concludes:

"Sorry Russell, it looks like we're not going to be able to get you a second date here." [17:53]

Whitney adds a closing remark:

"Hey, if you have any cute friends that have their own place, let me know." [17:56]

---

Key Takeaways and Insights

1. Compatibility Beyond Interests: Russell and Whitney's shared interest in darts and casual conversation initially suggested compatibility. However, underlying issues like living arrangements significantly impact relationship potential.

2. Deal Breakers Matter: Living with parents was a crucial deal breaker for Whitney, despite mutual circumstances. It highlights how personal standards and expectations can create barriers even when situations are similar.

3. Communication and Expectations: The importance of discussing living situations and future plans early in dating to ensure alignment and avoid misunderstandings.

4. Real-Time Engagement: The show's interactive approach, including live calls, adds authenticity and provides immediate feedback and resolution, enhancing listener engagement.

Humorous and Relatable Commentary

Brooke and Alexis infuse humor throughout the episode, making light of the awkwardness of living at home as adults and the complexities of dating under such conditions. Their playful banter and relatable insights ensure the discussion remains entertaining while addressing serious dating challenges.

Brooke humorously remarks:

"Let's hobby heroism! I'd have to rush to your defense." [09:24]

Alexis quips:

"In the dating world if you can leave an hour hanging out in the car and still think that this is a fun person you want to be with, you may be missing out." [17:22]

---

They offer listeners a candid look into the often complicated world of dating, emphasizing the importance of compatibility in both interests and life circumstances.

[Brooke]

Second date update there's two types of people that you're gonna meet in the dating world. The neurotic, uptight over planners like Brooke, who have to schedule out every minute of the entire evening months in advance or they won't even have a good time. Is that true, Brooke?

[Whitney]

No.

[Alexis]

I can't show up on time for anything, let alone, like, over plan it. Do you not know me?

[Brooke]

Brooke was literally yelling at me to put it in your schedule, Jeff. Put it in your schedule or you're gonna forget.

[Alexis]

That's because we have to travel for work and you're not gonna show up.

[Brooke]

Okay, neurotic. And then there's the chill, suave, go with the flow types like me I.

[Alexis]

Knew who believe that they can make.

[Brooke]

A good time happen with anyone in any bathroom at any truck stop at any time. That's my promise.

[Alexis]

That's the only two types. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Has to be a truck stop, though. And one of our listeners says he's also the go with the flow type, but he's worried it may have been his undoing on his date. His name is Russell, but we're gonna call him Russ. And he's not gonna fight us because he's chill with it. What's up, Russ?

[Russell]

Nothing much. Yes, I am. I go with the flow. Dude, that's.

[Alexis]

Russ is just like water. What water goes with. I got it.

[Brooke]

I got it. Okay.

[Alexis]

To every need fits in any container.

[Brooke]

Way to turn this into, like a physics lesson.

[Alexis]

Just say that Brooke is the opposite of him.

[Brooke]

Yeah, let's. Let's let me lead this conversation. The chill type. So, Russ, why don't you tell us about how you. How you met this person that you went out with. What's her name, by the way?

[Russell]

Her name is Whitney.

[Alexis]

Okay. And how'd you meet her?

[Russell]

Well, we met at this place. I probably shouldn't say the name, but it's one of those drinking and darts places.

[Deli Mex Voice]

A bar.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Well, I know. That's what I was thinking, too.

[Russell]

I mean, it's one of those newer places that electronically keep score of the darts as you go. Like, you know that place Pop Golf? Yeah, yeah, it's like that, but for darts.

[Brooke]

I've heard of these. That's cool.

[Alexis]

So again, it's just taking, like, old bar games and charging. Charging people more for it. Of Alexis, but, yeah.

[Brooke]

Met Whitney there.

[Russell]

I was there with co workers, and she was part of the group next to us.

[Brooke]

You just met her in the wild? Like, that's crazy.

[Russell]

In the wild.

[Alexis]

How did you approach her? Like, how did you guys Strike up a conversation super, totally naturally.

[Russell]

Like, there's these tables between our groups, and we were sharing them to set drinks on, and she sat hers down, and I was just, like, said to her, how's it going? You know, that's it.

[Alexis]

Good. Pickup line.

[Brooke]

Nice.

[Russell]

Yeah. And she just leaned in and said, I'm just going really good. And she even whispered to me. She said, because I'm cheating.

[Brooke]

What?

[Alexis]

How do you cheat at an electronic game?

[Brooke]

You're talking about darts, not about, like, relationships, Right?

[Alexis]

Like, she's not cheating. That's really funny.

[Brooke]

That's awesome.

[Alexis]

Were you able to get a date out of that meeting, or is this your one hangout?

[Russell]

Yeah, I asked her as it was coming to a close. I was like, hey, do you want to. Can I get your phone number? You want to hang out sometime? And she said, yes.

[Brooke]

That's awesome. So you spun that into a date a few days later. Is that what happened?

[Russell]

Yeah, the next week.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Alexis]

What'd you guys do?

[Russell]

I didn't have a plan. I just said, I'll come pick you up if you're comfortable with that. And we can just drive into the city and figure out something to do.

[Brooke]

Or there's a lot of truck stops outside of the city, which also can guide you to those, but, you know, city is one way to do it. Okay, Where'd you go?

[Russell]

Well, so we drove in, and I wasn't hungry, and then I asked her if she wanted to get something to eat, and she said she wasn't hungry either.

[Brooke]

Oh, never trust that. Yeah, you didn't. You should have still bought her food, bro. I've learned from that mistake.

[Alexis]

So what did you guys. Did you go get a drink somewhere?

[Russell]

I was like, yeah, let's go get a drink. And she's really not actually a big drinker, and it was a weeknight, and I was like, all right, so no drinking, no food. I don't want to go sit in a movie theater, you know? So we just drove around, you know?

[Brooke]

Sorry. Wait, you. You did what?

[Russell]

We drove around.

[Brooke]

That's it. That was the day. Just driving.

[Alexis]

For how long?

[Russell]

Oh, about an hour. Less than an hour and a half.

[Alexis]

I was in high school. No, but was on, like, a pretty road, or is this, like, stoplight traffic driving?

[Brooke]

Does that make a difference to you, Alexis?

[Alexis]

Yeah, slightly.

[Russell]

I mean, it was night and there were stoplights. It was not some scenic drive in the country. No, it was driving around in the city.

[Alexis]

Okay, so now do you regret not having a plan?

[Russell]

Yes. Honestly?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

At least you admit It.

[Brooke]

Well, how did that night end? Like, was it just driving the whole time?

[Russell]

Yes, that's about it. But it wasn't as awkward as it sounds like. That's the thing. We're talking about our family, talking about our lives, our work. And, you know, she was laughing. I was laughing. So it wasn't, like, as painful as it sounds.

[Alexis]

But I also. I also wonder if it wasn't painful for you because you had something else to do, like drive. She's just sitting there. She could suggest something at that point.

[Brooke]

Maybe we ended on a high note when they finished the evening. How did you guys leave it?

[Russell]

I dropped her off and we said we would do it again.

[Alexis]

Do. Do that again?

[Russell]

No, I said. I joked and I said, you know, next time we'll have a destination. And she was into it, you know, I said, let's get dinner. Let's be hungry. Maybe a weekend.

[Brooke]

And since then, how many times have you driven by her house quietly.

[Alexis]

Oh, he likes that. He thinks that's funny.

[Brooke]

Okay, I'm just kidding. He likes to drive.

[Russell]

How long has it been since that night? It's been just over a week.

[Alexis]

Okay. And you've heard nothing or little bits?

[Russell]

I only text her twice. She responded to the first text and not to the second one. I'm not gonna keep bugging her, you know.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Yeah, but you can tell.

[Alexis]

You're gonna let us bug her?

[Brooke]

Yeah. So we're gonna come back and we're gonna try and play it cool and suave, but we're gonna take a page out of Brooke's dating life and have a little bit of a plan and ask her questions.

[Alexis]

Just a small plan?

[Brooke]

Yeah, just a teeny plan. We won at her and demand that she put it in the calendar. But more effective, we'll gently approach her and try and get you a second date update right after this. Okay.

[Russell]

Awesome.

[Brooke]

All right, man. Hold on. Second date update. You know what? I'm proud of our listener, Russell, because he listens to his dates and gives them exactly what they want. Whitney said she wasn't hungry. No food. She said she wasn't thirsty. No drinks. Okay. She said she didn't really feel like doing anything. Then her wish is his command. They're just gonna drive around the city and talk and talk until they bore themselves to tears. Your wish is his command.

[Alexis]

Until she said, okay, I think it's time to drive me home.

[Brooke]

All right, I'll take you right home. That's exactly what he did. So why isn't our man getting a call back today? I just hope she doesn't complain that he didn't set anything up and plan out a date. Because if he does, I'm gonna have to rush to his defense.

[Alexis]

Are you?

[Brooke]

Brooke, if that happen, would that turn you on too much? Because I could dial back my natural heroic qualities if that's going to be a problem.

[Alexis]

I see. I didn't know what you're inferring. Me to be turned on by.

[Brooke]

Yeah. My heroism that oozes out of my pores. Explain.

[Alexis]

I feel safe.

[Brooke]

Okay. Russell, do you feel safe?

[Russell]

I feel safe.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Brooke]

All right.

[Alexis]

Yeah. Russell, I mean, I think we know what we're going to hear here. But I think it's going to be easy to get you another chance.

[Brooke]

What are we gonna hear here?

[Alexis]

That she was bored. That it was a boring date.

[Brooke]

Why do you always bring them down right before we do this? Why do you always do that? I think she's gonna. I think it's gonna be a scheduling conflict.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Brooke]

And she wasn't bored at all. Or she's married and you were just a side piece. Okay.

[Alexis]

I'm the one breaking the moon.

[Brooke]

Somewhere in between there. We'll find it. Okay. Let's hope there's somewhere in between there.

[Alexis]

The married part is actually kind of good news. It's not your fault then, Russ. That's true.

[Brooke]

Because they didn't kiss.

[Alexis]

Know. I don't know.

[Brooke]

Did you guys kiss?

[Russell]

No, we didn't.

[Alexis]

I think that's good because she didn't.

[Brooke]

Ask for a kiss. If she had asked for one, though, he would have planted one on her.

[Alexis]

Yeah, that's still cheating. Like, my husband can't go drive for an hour with a random woman in a car that would.

[Brooke]

Michael, if you're listening, turn the car around now. We gotta get back to business here. We're gonna call Whitney. Let's dial her number and see if she picks up. Here we go.

[Whitney]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Hi, we're looking to speak to Whitney.

[Whitney]

Speaking.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Hello?

[Alexis]

Hey, Whitney.

[Whitney]

Hi. Who's this?

[Brooke]

We like the sound of your voice. We're a radio show.

[Alexis]

She's got tentatives.

[Whitney]

What?

[Brooke]

We're a morning radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Whitney]

Are you serious?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Not all the time, but right now we are wacky. We do try and do some fun stuff, like Alexis, tell them about it.

[Alexis]

We call people.

[Brooke]

Good work.

[Whitney]

Why are you calling me?

[Brooke]

Good question. There. Because we do. This segment is called a Second Date Update. And that's where we try and help listeners get another date after they went out with someone one time. And want to see him again.

[Whitney]

Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

So one of our listeners has asked us to reach out to you specifically. His name is Russell. Oh, you remember Russell. You guys, like, drove around the city for a while.

[Alexis]

He asked you out after you guys met at that dart bar.

[Whitney]

Yeah, we did. I was out with my sister, my best friend, her husband, and you know.

[Brooke]

Well, that's great. But we want to talk about Russell a little bit.

[Alexis]

Yeah, but we do know your sister's probably great.

[Brooke]

She's awesome. Your whole family, I'm sure. But what did you think of Russell on your guys's date?

[Whitney]

He was okay.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Whitney]

He's okay looking.

[Brooke]

Oh, just call him ugly. It's better than okay.

[Alexis]

Okay, hold on though. Like, he. He pulls up to your house. I mean, you'd already met him in person and agreed to the date. It's not like you didn't know what he looked like.

[Whitney]

Yeah, but I didn't know fully about him. But after driving around for an hour, I really learned a lot. And sometimes that's positive, sometimes that can be negative.

[Alexis]

Okay. And it can change the way you're attracted to someone. That's for sure.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Alexis]

Give it the.

[Brooke]

So what did you learn that changed your mind about him?

[Whitney]

He lives with his parents.

[Alexis]

Oh, well, that was direct. Okay.

[Whitney]

He's not stable. He's codependent on his parents.

[Alexis]

Well, wait, wait, wait, wait, though.

[Brooke]

Hold on.

[Alexis]

I think it's pretty common.

[Brooke]

I mean, yeah, I mean, we've definitely heard other listeners come on the show that have said that they lived with their parents and they're saving up a lot of money so they could buy, like a nice house during. Between jobs. Absolutely.

[Alexis]

Or in between roommates. I mean, there's so many different reasons why you would find yourself back in that position.

[Brooke]

We thought it may have been something that he, like, did wrong on the date, but he didn't do anything wrong. It sounds like.

[Whitney]

No, no, no, he didn't do anything wrong, but he needs to have his own place. He needs to be able to provide.

[Brooke]

Okay. I mean, I know we've heard that as a deal breaker and a hang up for, but, like, I mean, I can understand why you wouldn't want to bring that up to him during the date. You really think that's something where you would not even consider seeing him anymore because he lives with his parents?

[Whitney]

It's a deal breaker.

[Alexis]

How come? Like, why is it for you?

[Whitney]

Because he needs to have his own money. He needs to have his stuff together just a little bit more.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Alexis]

You're like an independent woman who's out on your own making your own life, and you want somebody that matches that energy.

[Brooke]

I do wonder what Russell would have to say about that, because I need to let you know, Whitney, he is on the other line listening.

[Whitney]

He is?

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah.

[Alexis]

It's on his. Another thing we do.

[Brooke]

Right.

[Alexis]

That's good. Thank you, Alexis, for your second contribution.

[Brooke]

But Russell is there, I think.

[Russell]

Yes, I am on the line and I'm just. It blows me away to hear you say that, because one of the things I learned about Whitney is that she also lives with her parents.

[Alexis]

Wait, what?

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Whitney]

Yes, I do live with my parents.

[Brooke]

You do?

[Whitney]

Yes, yes, I do.

[Deli Mex Voice]

Hold on, hold on.

[Alexis]

What do you mean you live with your parents, Whitney?

[Whitney]

I mean, I live with my mom and my dad. One of us needs to have our own place.

[Alexis]

I honestly kind of get her on that. It'd be really hard to date if you both lived with your parents. No, I can't judge somebody else for it.

[Brooke]

It's hypocritical.

[Whitney]

I can and I do.

[Brooke]

Ok, so what we're learning here is the reason that you're not going out with Russell is because he lives with his family, even though you also live with your family. That's a deal breaker for you.

[Whitney]

Exactly.

[Brooke]

Why?

[Whitney]

Okay, how are we gonna hang out? How are we gonna hang out? You know, where am I gonna cook dinner for him at?

[Brooke]

It's kind of sexy if you think about it. If you're like, so do you want to go back to your mom's house or my mom's house tonight?

[Alexis]

I could see how that would really set in for you after you spend just an hour in his car together.

[Whitney]

Exactly.

[Alexis]

You're gonna spend a lot more hours in cars together. Yeah.

[Whitney]

I would have gone back with him to his house, but we didn't have anywhere to go.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Oh, Russell, you're staying awfully quiet during this. Do you have anything to say to her?

[Russell]

I think this is completely ridiculous. Like, we should be closer to one another because we have the same situation. We're trying to get out of it. Things are crazy now and I am saving towards a goal. Okay. And it's like, I just don't know why you put that on me.

[Brooke]

Completely.

[Russell]

It's just seems really like a double standard.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Whitney]

I put it on you because you're the man and you need to get this done.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Russell]

This isn't 1950.

[Alexis]

I mean, I'm with him on that. Well, we're kind of heading back in.

[Brooke]

A lot of the legal Ways.

[Alexis]

So if we get out of that conversation, I mean maybe Russell, you just have a better like you have a plan of how you guys would hang out and maybe that would change your mind.

[Brooke]

That's a good idea. You know we can move forward from this.

[Alexis]

Yeah. Like how would you guys hang out if you both live at your parents house?

[Whitney]

That's a really good question.

[Russell]

That is a good question.

[Brooke]

I mean, as the man, how would you step up and provide a place to hang out for her?

[Russell]

I mean we could go on dates, get to know one another and then go, go to the coast. You know, my parents travel a lot. There's a lot of times where they're not going to be home.

[Alexis]

Now we're getting to a real solution. High School 2.0.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Get the house to yourself one time. Or if they are home, tie a bandana around the doorknob and tell mom and dad to go watch a movie.

[Alexis]

That's probably a thing in Jeffrey's house.

[DSW Voice]

It's the sad part.

[Brooke]

We've got a lot of colorful bandanas that mean a whole lot.

[Alexis]

I feel like his mom uses it more than he does though.

[Brooke]

I'm like, well I'm not going in that room. No, it's happening in there. It seems like you guys have this thing in common. People die to find things that they have in common with people.

[Alexis]

In the dating world if you can leave an hour hanging out in the car and still think that this is a fun person you want to be with, you may be missing out.

[Brooke]

You don't want to throw that away. That's why we'd love to offer to send you guys out on another date to somewhere outside of both of your parents homes. And we would pay for it if you're up for giving him another chance.

[Whitney]

Whitney, nothing has changed since the start of this conversation. If he gets out of his parents house, maybe we can talk then.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Sorry Russell, it looks like we're not going to be able to get you a second date here.

[Alexis]

Parents ruined it again, Jeff.

[Russell]

Yeah, fine with me.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Whitney]

Hey, if you have any cute friends that have their own place, let me know.

[Brooke]

Are you asking Russell that?

[Alexis]

Yeah, Jose's got his own place.

[Brooke]

I know a day.

[Alexis]

Me? Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Brooke]

What a disappointment. Man. I think she's really not seeing the benefits of this situation.

[Alexis]

What are the benefits?

[Brooke]

We're not either. I remember hooking up at my parents place when I was 15. You don't think it's going to be just as exciting when you're 35.

[Alexis]

It's not no.

[Brooke]

No sleep. I mean, the parents don't hear as well. They can't run up the stairs as fast. You're able to get away with a lot more.

[Alexis]

Plus your curfew is probably two hours later than it was in high school.

[Brooke]

Not to mention free PB and J's. As many as you can eat after you're done fooling around. You have to fuel up. Plus parents always have a stocked fridge.

[Alexis]

I would always I was actually like telling her not to be so judgy, but after that I actually might move.

[Brooke]

Back in with my parents after this. I want to make sure to follow Brooke and Jeffrey on all of our social medias. By the way, at BrookeandJeffrey, you can hear all of our second date podcasts too. They're up online wherever you get yours.
