Episode Overview

This episode of Brooke and Jeffrey’s “Second Date Update” features a classic, fan-favorite call titled “Not A Happy Camper.” The show’s premise: When someone’s been ghosted after a first date, the hosts contact the non-responsive party to investigate why things went awry—and attempt to score a second date. As usual, the hosts, led by Brooke and Jeffrey, bring their signature humor and playful banter, shining a spotlight on the quirks and missteps of modern dating.

In this edition, Kelly reaches out to see why her date, Mike, has vanished after what she thought was a fun, outdoor-themed first meeting. What follows is a mix of awkward admissions, relentless (and hilarious) “camp-splaining,” and a resounding demonstration of why sometimes, two people just aren’t meant to be.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Why Kelly Was Attracted to Mike

• Grocery Store Vibes: Kelly initially swiped on Mike because he had a “goofy” photo of himself in a grocery store produce aisle.
  • "If you're cute under fluorescent lighting, you gotta be cute in real life." – Kelly (07:14)
• Kelly is passionate about cooking and grocery shopping, finding it “therapeutic.”

2. First Date Details

• Meeting Up: The pair met at a bar. Mike was, in Kelly's opinion, even better looking in person than he appeared online.
  • "He was way hotter than I thought he was in the photo." – Kelly (07:29)
• Backhanded Compliment?: Kelly told Mike his online photos weren’t great—a “compliment,” but one the hosts agree might have landed awkwardly.
  • "You're so much more attractive in person." – Kelly (07:51)

3. Conversation Turns Outdoorsy

• Camping Enthusiasm: Kelly is an outdoors lover; Mike is new to camping.
• REI Excursion: The date detoured to an REI store so Kelly could “show him the ropes.”
  • The hosts riff on the joys of REI (“You get a dividend check—it’s a co-op!” – Brooke (09:32)) and speculate about what Mike really thought.

4. Ghosting Mystery: Mike’s Side of the Story

• Kelly Invites Mike Camping: Mike felt the invite to a “multiple-day camping trip” with Kelly’s friends was a lot for a first date.
  • "That's kind of weird, you know, after a first date, to be like, why don't you come camping for multiple days and meet my friends?" – Mike (15:13)
• Mike Isn’t a Camper: He’s honest: he’s not into camping and reveals he once slept in his car to avoid camping discomfort.
  • "I tried it once. I really didn't love it… I actually slept in my car." – Mike (15:49)
• Camp-Splained to Death: Mike was overwhelmed by Kelly “campsplaining” (talking up camping non-stop and showing him endless gear at REI).
  • "She showed me 18 different types of canteens. I was like, I get it. Can we go home?" – Mike (17:10)

5. On-Air Confrontation: Kelly Joins In

• Unrepentant Camping Enthusiasm: Kelly stands by her belief that “everyone loves camping, they just haven’t tried it right yet.”
  • "Everyone does love camping. They just need to find the right things to take with them." – Kelly (17:42)
• Mike Disagrees: He’s adamant: “That is objectively not true. Not everyone loves – what a crazy thing to say.” (17:52)
• Miscommunication: Kelly believes Mike is open to camping if given the right gear, while Mike says he was just trying to end the “campsplaining.”

6. Second Date Offer (and Refusal)

• Jeffrey’s Optimism: The hosts offer to send Kelly and Mike on a second date, not involving the great outdoors.
• Mike’s Firm No: He jokes Kelly is “married to camping” and that it just isn’t a match.
  • "Camping is clearly her number one thing… She’s so married to camping." – Mike (19:40)
• Kelly’s Solution: She’ll look for love on an outdoorsy dating app instead.

7. Show’s Takeaway

• Final Reflection: Brooke and Jeffrey riff on reading red (or green) flags differently and the humorous perils of “camp-shaming.”
  • "She saw green flags. He saw it as being camp-shamed within an inch of his life." – Jeffrey (23:09)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Flirting with Insults:
  • "It's like you're trying to set him up for the next person…" – Jeffrey (08:22)
• On REI's Appeal:
  • "Every time you go in, you're like, God, I need to start a new outdoor hobby..." – Brooke (09:22)
• On Camping Aversion:
  • "She just kept going on and on… I'm trying to force a smile. Then she dragged me to that sporting goods store..." – Mike (16:30)
• Best Zinger:
  • "She’s going to marry a bear." – Mike (19:52)
  • "Oh, there's a good app… It's called Tinder." – Brooke (20:19)

---

For New Listeners

This episode wonderfully encapsulates why "Second Date Update" is a beloved radio bit: real, awkward dating stories, hilarious commentary, and just enough heart to keep listeners invested—even if the “success rate” stays comically low.

Key Takeaway:
Sometimes a love for the outdoors (or lack thereof) is just too big a divide—no matter how nice the sleeping bags at REI.

[Jacob Goldstein]

See full [e-mail] hey, it's Jacob Goldstein from Business History. In our new series American Genius, we tell the stories of three great writers who changed the way business works in America. Our first episode is about Benjamin Franklin, who among many other things was a best selling business writer. Take a listen. He's writing this much later in his life, consciously creating this image of himself. And I do want to emphasize how unusual this model is at the time, this self made man myth. Because you don't want to be self made. It's low class to be self made. You know this idea that we have today is the opposite, right?

[CarMax Announcer]

And it comes from Franklin.

[Jacob Goldstein]

Today there is the derisive term nepo baiting.

[Brooke]

Well, exactly right.

[Jacob Goldstein]

And these days if you are a

[Jeffrey]

billionaire, you had better have a Benjamin Franklin story about starting in a garage,

[Jacob Goldstein]

coming up with the idea from nothing. And here is Benjamin Franklin in inventing it right before our eyes. This has been brought to you by Odoo to listen to more of our American Genius series. Listen to business history. New episodes release every Wednesday on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Mint Mobile Terms Announcer]

Yeah, Liliana said, even when I'm having a poor morning, all it takes is listening to your show to get me feeling festive again. Oh, maybe she was having a really poor morning on June 2nd. That's what happened.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Yeah, morning.

[Brooke]

She hears rich Brooke evens everything out.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Well, I hope she's just festive again. What a nice way to describe being happy. I love it. I let's get festive right now. Your episode starts. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning Second date Update.

[Jeffrey]

Alexis, what do you find attractive in a guy's profile online? Maybe. He's got a great smile.

[Mint Mobile Terms Announcer]

Oh, good. Smile is good.

[Jeffrey]

His profile says he works for White Claw.

[Mint Mobile Terms Announcer]

Ooh, wait, I would definitely message that one.

[Kelly]

Stop it.

[Mint Mobile Terms Announcer]

That's the prompt I would click.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Mango flavor only.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he's a roadie for Nickelback. Oh, wait, sorry. That's Brooks thing.

[Mike]

My bad.

[Jeffrey]

But one of our listeners had something else that she was instantly attracted to on a guy's profile that made her

[Brooke (co-host)]

go, ooh, what is it?

[Jeffrey]

I need to know him. Let's talk to Kelly a little bit. Kelly, welcome to the show.

[Kelly]

Hi. Thank you.

[Mint Mobile Terms Announcer]

Did he work for Truly

[Brooke]

Rivals?

[Brooke (co-host)]

I feel like every guy listening is about to change their profile to include whatever it is you're about to say.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, tell us about this guy.

[Kelly]

Okay, well, I found this guy Mike while I was searching on the app.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Oh, it was his exotic name. Not many of them.

[Jeffrey]

Mike with a Q. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Must be European.

[Jeffrey]

What was it about Mike that stood out so much?

[Kelly]

Okay, this is weird, but I really enjoy grocery shopping.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

Was it like therapeutic or something? Like, some people enjoy cleaning.

[Kelly]

Yeah, I mean, I really like cooking. And then I also really like finding new products and interesting.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Just love pay and all that money.

[Jeffrey]

And it is soothing when you're in the produce section and the thunder goes like. And then it sprinkles all over all. I do enjoy that.

[Brooke]

That's the only time I shower all week, you guys.

[Jeffrey]

No, I'm serious.

[Brooke (co-host)]

That is a really fun. I'm gonna go in hard.

[Jeffrey]

No, Kelly, I'm with you, even if everybody else hates the gross.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Did you find Jeffrey online? And his dating profile said that Mike. Yeah, I was joking. Yeah, yeah, it's fine. It wasn't that funny. So I forgive you, Kelly.

[Brooke]

Mike is really funny.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry, we were going off for a while.

[Mike]

What?

[Jeffrey]

What did you see on Mike's profile?

[Kelly]

So he had a photo of himself in the produce aisle. Just kind of like being goofy and holding, you know, some fruits and vegetables.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Oh, please don't tell me it was a dude holding two melons.

[Mint Mobile Terms Announcer]

Also, do you ever wonder who takes that pic?

[Brooke]

I hope it's not random. Excuse me, person that works here. Okay, can you picture me holding a giant eggplant?

[Jeffrey]

So you saw that? That was a turn on to you.

[Kelly]

Yeah, I mean, you know, I figured if you're cute under fluorescent lighting, you gotta be cute in real life.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And was he?

[Kelly]

He was. So we talked and we made plans to meet up at this bar. And then when I met him, he was. He was way hotter than I thought he was in the photo.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Even hotter.

[Kelly]

Yeah. So I kind of told him that, like, as a compliment, that his photos online were not great.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Oh, wait, did you word it that way?

[Kelly]

Well, I don't really remember exactly how I said it, but I kind of was like, you know, your photos online aren't good because you're so much more attractive in person.

[Brooke]

Kind of a save.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Kind of.

[Brooke (co-host)]

That one sits weird with, I don't know about you guys, but for me, whenever I meet listeners and they're like, oh, you're not as ugly as I thought you were online. I thought I looked.

[Mint Mobile Terms Announcer]

I feel like more guys do look better in person.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Yeah, they're bad at taking pictures.

[Maracon Announcer]

Yeah.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Was he offended?

[Kelly]

I mean, I also think he maybe was a little offended, but I, like, tried to make him understand that it was a compliment, and I offered to take photos for him so that he could use. Which I now realize is maybe weird on the screen. Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

It's like you're trying to set him up for the next person that he meets on the app.

[Brooke (co-host)]

I mean, if a girl said that to you, don't you feel like you just got friend zoned?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, pretty much.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Yeah.

[Kelly]

I honestly was just like, nervous and was trying to flirt with her in my weird way.

[Brooke (co-host)]

I get it.

[Brooke]

I mean, you tried to save it at least, right? It wasn't like you left it out. Like, you're way hotter than your ugly pictures online.

[Jeffrey]

All right, bye.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Did you actually take new pictures for him?

[Mike]

No.

[Kelly]

No, I did not.

[Brooke]

Alexis was wondering, who's the one that takes a pic?

[Brooke (co-host)]

It's you.

[Jeffrey]

What did you do at the bar?

[Brooke (co-host)]

Drink and talk?

[Jeffrey]

We don't know that with her.

[Brooke]

Insult him more.

[Kelly]

No, no, no. We were just like, talking and getting to know each other. And then we brought up camping, which, well, I really like. He is, like, kind of newer to outdoorsy stuff, but REI came up and he said he had never been. And I freaking love rei.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, See this? Brooke feels about rei. How you feel about GR shop.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Oh, I love going to rei. It's so fun.

[Brooke]

Don't they have, like, walls and stuff there?

[Brooke (co-host)]

Yeah. Every time you go in, you're like, God, I need to start a new outdoor hobby. I'm gonna buy a kayak and a mountain bike.

[Jeffrey]

Nothing hotter than talking about rei. First date.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Wait till you get your first dividend check. Then you're gonna be like a dividend check. You get money to spend at the end of the year, cuz it's a co op.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, is that like, a senior citizen thing?

[Brooke]

That's why we don't.

[Vivgard Announcer]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

I can't wait.

[Brooke (co-host)]

So you went. You just took em?

[Kelly]

Yeah, obviously.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Two drunks at the REI on the first date. I wish I would have been there just to witness you guys walking around,

[Brooke]

test out this sleeping bag.

[Jeffrey]

How did that go?

[Kelly]

I mean, it was cute. Walking around, making jokes.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Did he still seem interested, or was he just lying about being interested? You know what I mean? Like, someone says they're super into something, you're like, yeah, that's cool. I like that, too.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I don't lie to people on dates like you do, Brooke, so I'm not sure what that's like.

[Kelly]

It seemed like he was genuinely interested. I mean, maybe he was flying, but I don't know. I thought we were having a good time.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Okay, so you. You're clueless. You have no ideas.

[Kelly]

No idea.

[Mike]

Huh.

[Jeffrey]

All right, and how long has this been since you gave him the tour of rei?

[Kelly]

It's been three weeks.

[Brooke]

Oh, hey, wait. Maybe you're such a good tour guide, you motivated him to go camping, and he's still out in the wilderness right

[Brooke (co-host)]

now, not receiving any phone calls, or he's missing that. He's too new to it and couldn't find his way back.

[Jeffrey]

It's called Hashtag Van Life, Brook. And we're gonna check in on him. Hopefully he answ we call and try and get you your second date update right after this.

[Kelly]

Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

All right, hold on.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Maracon Announcer]

Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

We got a text to 78592 that says, what's REI?

[Brooke]

What the heck?

[Jeffrey]

I mean, I guess not everybody would know.

[Brooke (co-host)]

It's all over the world.

[Jeffrey]

That doesn't mean everybody knows what it is if you. If you haven't been there. Yeah, it's a chain of outdoor recreation stores where they sell all sorts, like bikes, everything, camping gear, harnesses, whatever you would need to be outside the North Face.

[Brooke]

Hoodies, which are. That's the only thing I've ever bought from rei.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Have you been to a store?

[Brooke]

No, I bought online.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

They do have an online store to go check them out.

[Brooke]

That's a good brand.

[Jeffrey]

But I should ask Brooke this question.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Because you've been there a lot.

[Mint Mobile Announcer]

Yep.

[Jeffrey]

Are there hot people who work there or walk around there a lot?

[Brooke (co-host)]

Hot people? Yeah, there's definitely attractive people. Oh, my God. I just got a board from there this last year, and the girl who fitted me for the board. Smoking.

[Jeffrey]

See, that's What I'm worried about. I'm worried that when Kelly took Mike to the REI store, I'm hoping that he didn't meet some sexy outdoor climbing enthusiast who invited him to scale her twin peaks right there in the back room. Because we've heard stuff like this happening before where somebody else swoops in in the middle of it.

[Brooke (co-host)]

And I bet they have a pretty big back room. There's a lot of, like, big stuff that they gotta move through that store.

[Jeffrey]

Kelly, do you think that's a possibility? Were there any attractive females while you were shopping, stopping at rei?

[Kelly]

I mean, wasn't like he was flirting

[Brooke (co-host)]

with anybody in front of you. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, maybe it could just be that he felt like he was forced into something he actually wasn't that interested in.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's probably the most realistic.

[Brooke (co-host)]

I mean, he couldn't keep continuing the lie. Right. Because then before he knows that he's camping with you and hating every second of it.

[Mint Mobile Terms Announcer]

Yeah.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Get out of that.

[Kelly]

I guess. I think camping is great, though.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Well, I mean, I'm with you.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Brooke (co-host)]

You know, nobody else in this room.

[Brooke]

Only one person in this room agrees, but.

[Jeffrey]

All right, let's call Mike, though, and see what he has to say. You ready to do this, Kelly?

[Kelly]

Yeah, let's do it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, here we go.

[Mike]

Hello.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, I'm looking for Mike.

[Mike]

Yeah, is this the bill collector again? Oh,

[Jeffrey]

no, I'm not a bill collector.

[Brooke]

Bucks right now.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Impressive that you answer your phone when you're getting those type of calls.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you should just hit ignore next time, bro.

[Mike]

Wait, so who is this?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we're a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning with the Love Collectors. Please ignore my.

[Brooke (co-host)]

I thought that was pretty good.

[Jeffrey]

Female co host.

[Mike]

No, we're a radio show.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we're a radio show. We do a segment called Second Date Update where we try and help out our listeners reconnect after they've gone out on a date with somebody that they really liked.

[Mike]

Uh.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah, it's a good thing. It means somebody went out with you and had a really good time and wants to meet up again. Her name's Kelly.

[Kelly]

Oh,

[Jeffrey]

it's been a while ago. It was, like, three weeks ago that you guys met up.

[Mike]

Yeah, kind of wish I was the bill collector, but.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Wow, it was that bad? When we talked to her, she sounded lovely. Oh,

[Mike]

let me just be honest here. Like, it was okay for a little bit, but it did get weird.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, are you talking about where she offered to take new pictures of you? Because your profile pics weren't good enough.

[Mike]

She told you all that?

[Brooke (co-host)]

Yeah, she did. Were you offended?

[Mike]

I mean, yes, but also, I don't think we should really be talking about that.

[Jeffrey]

What should we be talking about?

[Mike]

If that's how she wants to play, then I'm happy to play my side of the story.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, let's hear your side.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Oh, this sounds juicy.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

What happened?

[Mike]

I mean, did she mention us talking about camping?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah, that came up, that you guys mentioned going camping, and she even took you to a camping goods store.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, she was. She was thinking of going camping with some friends soon, and she was, like, basically inviting me, which, I mean, that's kind of weird, you know, after a first date, to be like, oh, why don't you come camping for multiple days and meet my friends?

[Jeffrey]

Like, that's really nice when you put it that way.

[Brooke]

No, I see what he means. It's one thing to go camping, but then I'm gonna be stuck with your friends or your.

[Brooke (co-host)]

But maybe.

[Mint Mobile Terms Announcer]

Okay, wait, wait, though.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Maybe it was like one of those invitations where you, like, you know, I automatically invite people to everything, but it doesn't necessarily mean I'm actually gonna follow through.

[Mint Mobile Terms Announcer]

I think you're gonna say no.

[Jeffrey]

So that's the big red flag. She liked you and wanted me. You to meet her friends.

[Mike]

I mean. No, no, no, no. That's not the big red flag.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Oh.

[Mike]

I told her I'm not really the biggest fan of camping. I tried it once. I really didn't love it. I didn't love it so much that I actually slept in my car.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Oh.

[Mike]

Yeah. And apparently for her, that was, like, the worst thing I could say to her.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Brooke (co-host)]

Why?

[Vivgard Announcer]

Why?

[Mike]

Yeah. I don't know. She was so shocked, and she was like, how do you not like camping? Everyone loves camping. Like, she was like, what? You've never sent a night in a tent? You've never experienced the joy of taking a. I don't think I can say that word on the radio, but you gotta have the rumble with the bear.

[Brooke (co-host)]

What?

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Those are her highlights.

[Jacob Goldstein]

That's low.

[Mike]

She just kept going on and on and on about how great camping was, and I'm trying to force a smile. Then she dragged me to that sporting goods store. I don't know, what's it called?

[Brooke]

Rei. Rei.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Wait, that all happened before you guys went to rei?

[Mike]

Yes.

[Brooke (co-host)]

The way she played it, the way she described it, is that you said you were new and you were excited about trying it out.

[Mike]

No, no, no, no, no. She was, like, going on about it at dinner and then at the store. It just was, it was non stop.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. She was trying, she was trying to sell you on going camping by showing you all of the things that you could buy and all the things you could use the next time you went out into nature.

[Mike]

Yeah, she showed me 18 different types of canteens. I was like, I get it. Can we go home?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Oh, man.

[Jeffrey]

She should work for rei.

[Brooke]

Yeah, she should.

[Brooke (co-host)]

I don't think.

[Mike]

I think she's getting a commission or she has a lot of stock there or something like that.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Her last name is actually rei.

[Jeffrey]

Actually, we can ask her if that's true, because I didn't tell you this earlier, but Kelly is on the other line right now listening to this whole thing.

[Kelly]

Hi. How you doing?

[Mike]

Hi.

[Kelly]

I'm just gonna stick with what I said on the date is that everyone does love camping. They just need to find the right things to take with them so they feel comfortable.

[Mike]

That is objectively not true. Not everyone loves. What a crazy thing to say, you psycho

[Jeffrey]

psychic.

[Kelly]

We don't have to call anyone names, but if you're gonna be a husband, I'm sorry, you're the one who's putting

[Mike]

us on the radio. That's pretty crazy.

[Jeffrey]

So, okay, everybody likes being on the radio. Sometimes you just have to try it and get used to it a little bit.

[Brooke (co-host)]

That was actually psycho.

[Jeffrey]

I'm nervous.

[Brooke]

We can show you all kinds of microphones.

[Brooke (co-host)]

I mean, Kelly, it doesn't sound like you're listening to him at all.

[Kelly]

I heard what he said, and I, I really, truly believe that, like, deep down, he really likes camping, based on other stuff that he said. And, you know, I, I, if I remember, I think he did say that he, he didn't have a great time, but he would be open to trying camping again.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, really?

[Brooke (co-host)]

Look at that. Leading her on with that camp talk.

[Mike]

I was just saying that to try to get you to stop campsplaining to me.

[Brooke]

That's what Brooke does to us all the time.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe there could be a small nugget of truth to it. Do you think?

[Mike]

Mike, are you on board with her? Because I hate camping. I don't want to do it. I don't know how to make that any truer.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I'm just saying sometimes things are an acquired taste, like coffee or meth.

[Kelly]

How can anybody not like camping? You're in the outdoors. There's fresh air.

[Mike]

Why am I still on the phone right now? Like, I said this, and you guys are still talking about it. I really don't understand.

[Jeffrey]

You're still on the phone because somewhere deep, deep down, you really do want to see Kelly again and go out one more time. Even if I'm not saying out in nature. Let's go out in the city somewhere. Somewhere that we would pay for. If you're up for it, Mike.

[Brooke]

In an rei no.

[Jeffrey]

Far away from Mario. That's what we do, Mike. We offer to send you guys out on another day on our dime.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's clearly not a match. I mean, camping is clearly her number one thing. She doesn't have time for a man because she's so married to camping.

[Brooke]

She's married to the woods.

[Mike]

Exactly. She's gonna marry a bear.

[Jacob Goldstein]

Okay,

[Jeffrey]

at least meet up with her one more time so she could take some new photos of you for your profile pic.

[Mike]

Oh, no, because she's gonna drag me to the woods to take those photos.

[Brooke]

Yeah, act like you just picked those carrots.

[Jeffrey]

Kelly, I'm sorry. We're not gonna be able to get a second date for you here.

[Kelly]

Yeah, it's fine. I'm gonna try and see if there's an outdoorsy app or something I can find a man on.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Oh, there's a good app. It's about how to start a campfire. It's called Tinder.

[Jeffrey]

You should download that one.

[Brooke (co-host)]

I get it, but I'm bummed.

[Jeffrey]

We were so close to ending on a laugh and the second date just missed.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

I just got a text at 78592 that says Jeff, why is it every time it's extremely clear they're not a good match, you still ask if they'll

[Brooke (co-host)]

go out again and and you always push the side that you know is wrong?

[Jeffrey]

I don't know why I do it. Is it because I believe in love against all odds? Does that make me a bad guy? If so, call Billie Eilish.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Oh, because you're a bad guy?

[Jeffrey]

I'm the bad guy.

[Brooke (co-host)]

That was good. You thought about that for a while, didn't you?

[Jeffrey]

I didn't.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Yeah, I kind of liked it.

[Jeffrey]

It just shows. Everybody has a different read on how these dates go. She saw it as green flags. He's interested in camping. He wants to learn. He saw it as being camp shamed within an inch of his life.

[Brooke (co-host)]

And I saw it as I'm never going to be able to hear that Billie Eilish song again without thinking about you.

[Jeffrey]

But the one thing that we can learn out of this is that we're always here for you.

[Brooke (co-host)]

Oh, that's true.

[Jeffrey]

No matter what. Good dates, bad days, no matter how

[Brooke (co-host)]

many bad decisions you make.

[Jeffrey]

Absolutely. We're on your side. We will fight for you and offer you second dates. Yes, call that person who isn't calling you back.
