Summary

Podcast Summary: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update Classics – “Brunch Yuck + Down Under Blunder”

Podcast: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Episode: Second Date Update Classics: Brunch Yuck + Down Under Blunder
Air Date: June 6, 2026
Theme: The show’s hallmark “Second Date Update” returns with two memorable, comedic tales: one about a brunch date gone awry over fruit (and honesty), and another about a “worldly” mismatch at a steakhouse where etiquette and expectation clash. The hosts, Brooke and Jeffrey, bring out the humor, empathy, and awkwardness of modern dating through candid listener stories.

---

Episode Overview

The episode centers on calling individuals who ghosted their dates, confronting them (with good-natured banter) about the real reasons and seeking a second chance for the “ghosted.” This double-feature revisits two particularly entertaining past updates:

• “Brunch Yuck”: A brunch buffet date is derailed by an ill-timed life hack and a hilarious fruit misidentification incident.
• “Down Under Blunder”: A fancy first impression at an “Australian steakhouse” is undercut by cultural misunderstandings and differing standards of class and etiquette.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Setting the Stage: Double Dose of Second Date Updates

• (02:28) Brooke enthusiastically flags “Gemini season” as the reason for today's double classic updates, highlighting the show's energy.
  • “I'm a Gemini. So yeah, be scared... we've got your Second Date Update Classics today.”
    — Brooke (02:42)

2. Second Date Update #1: Brunch Yuck

From [03:23] through [22:00]

Main Storyline

Rez recounts his brunch buffet date with Katrina, which derails after he shares a dodgy “brunch hack” and is later fruit-shamed.

Highlights & Memorable Moments

• Buffet Banter:
  • The hosts obsess over brunch food options and the “secret” brunch spot that Rez refuses to divulge.
    • “This is my secret spot. I’m not telling anyone.” — Rez (06:45)
• Trying to Impress:
  • Rez plays the “gentleman,” fetching Katrina various buffet items, while she reflects on his kindness but growing doubts.
• The “Brunch Hack” Confession:
  • Rez offhandedly reveals he and his friends used to sneak into hotel continental breakfasts.
    • “If you just walk into this hotel and you just walk up to the buffet, sit down, get your food...you can just eat it and leave.” — Rez (08:10)
  • Hosts rib him for “stealing” breakfast, sparking laughter.
• The Canteloupe Catastrophe:
  • Katrina, on the follow-up call, reveals her real reason for ghosting — Rez repeatedly fails to bring her “cantaloupe” from the buffet, clearly not knowing what it is.
    • “I realized I don’t think this guy knows what cantaloupe is... How do you not know what a cantaloupe is?” — Katrina (15:05)
  • “If you’re a 30-year-old man and you’ve never heard of cantaloupe, what else has he not heard of?” — Katrina (15:31)
  • The hosts debate whether this is fair — is “fruit illiteracy” grounds for no second date?
• Face-off:
  • Rez defends himself, admitting ignorance but showing he’s willing to learn.
    • “I know now! I Googled it.” — Rez (16:42)
    • “I feel like I’m Oliver Twist over here.” — Rez (17:12)
  • Katrina remains unconvinced: “I just think it’s weird...I feel like he should have known it.” (19:04)
• Hosts Reflect:
  • Brooke tries to nudge for reconciliation, but everyone laughs at the pettiness and specificity of the “cantaloupe dealbreaker.”
  • “Cantaloupe? I guess it’s a very, very short line.” — Brooke (22:32)

Takeaway

• Even minor knowledge gaps (like fruit identification) can torpedo a connection if they trigger deeper questions for someone about compatibility or intelligence — though the hosts feel Katrina’s reaction may be a bit extreme.

3. Second Date Update #2: Down Under Blunder

From [22:57] through [41:43]

Main Storyline

William sets out to woo globe-trotting Stacy but gets tripped up on etiquette, and the date’s “classiness” is hilariously misunderstood.

Highlights & Memorable Moments

• Trying Too Hard:
  • William admits he was nervous and perhaps “tried too hard,” especially as Stacy’s profile depicted her as cultured and well-traveled.
    • “I was actually pretty intimidated...she seems to have an extravagant, sophisticated, cultured life.” — William (25:03)
• Gift Gaffe:
  • William brings “Almond Roca” as a gift, thinking it’s fancy; Stacy’s not impressed:
    • “It’s not really chocolate, which I...I didn’t realize.” — William (27:32)
    • Hosts laugh about “grandparent chocolate.”
• Interview Overload:
  • William showers her with questions and even asks if she’s ever been engaged.
    • Hosts agree some of his questions would have made the date feel more like a job interview.
• Etiquette Errors and Steakhouse Surprise:
  • On the call with Stacy, her grievances emerge:
    • She accuses William of being “loud,” poor etiquette, and notably:
      • “He got up and he says, ‘I’m going to the bathroom!’ It was a big announcement.” — Stacy (35:03)
    • He flagged down the waiter for more bread, which she found improper for a "nice place."
    • Turning point: She thinks they were dining somewhere swanky—but it was an Outback Steakhouse.
      • “We were at an Outback Steakhouse!” — William (36:32)
      • “It was the first time I’ve ever been. It was a very lovely Australian steakhouse. It was lovely.” — Stacy (36:59)
      • Hosts are delighted at the misunderstanding and rib Stacey for confusing Outback Steakhouse with fine dining.
• Closing Rejection:
  • Despite William’s heartfelt, respectful request for another date (39:02), Stacy demurs:
    • “You know what? I–I don’t do charity. I’m okay.” — Stacy (39:12)
    • “I do charity; I don’t take charity, is what I will.” — Stacy (39:27)
  • The hosts’ banter on chain restaurants and etiquette keeps the tone light and self-aware.

Summary & Takeaways

Brunch Yuck: An innocent brunch date crashes when a guest confesses to past buffet thefts and fails a fruit knowledge test, leading to hilarious but real soul-searching about “small things” that can become dealbreakers in dating.

Down Under Blunder: A nervous suitor’s attempts to impress a sophisticated match backfire—she’s more concerned with table manners than shared stories, and a chain steakhouse becomes the site for a transatlantic misunderstanding about class and culture.

Overall:
The episode delivers high-energy, self-deprecating humor, and genuine heart. Both stories perfectly capture the show’s signature style: mining the mundane and the awkward in dating for maximum relatability and laughs.

---

Useful For Listeners Who Haven’t Tuned In:

• Vivid personalities: You’ll get to know not just the daters, but why the hosts’ banter keeps fans coming back.
• Real-life dating dealbreakers: Sometimes, it’s the little things—fruit, etiquette, or just a vibe—that sink a connection.
• Plenty of laughs, zero romance (this time): Neither dater gets a second date, but listeners get stories to make them feel better about their own dating fails.

Recommended for fans of:

• The cringe and comedy of real-life dating
• Candid, unfiltered commentary from quick-witted hosts
• Relatable stories that make you laugh at the pain and awkwardness of dating today

[Brooke]

gonna say right now it's Gemini season and that is no coincidence.

[Jeff]

Oh God, Doc, Everybody.

[Brooke]

Hypercover Prepar coincidence that we have double second dates today. Oh wait, that is why. Yes.

[Jeff]

Energy in the air.

[Brooke]

That's right. I'm a Gemini. So yeah, be scared. All right, let's get to it. We got your second date update classics today. Thank you so much for being here and subscribing. What do you got on comments?

Well, I'm going to assume this happened because of Gemini season also, but Anna commented. Guys, I was in Gatlinburg last week, Tennessee and was blaring the podcast in traffic and the girl in the car next to me shouted Brooke and Jeffrey fam unite.

Oh my God, I love that. And I bet she said it with a cute accent too.

Oh yeah, in Tennessee. Yeah. Sorry I couldn't do that on here. I'm not gonna offend everyone that way.

Oh my God.

This is for you.

Okay, back to back classics start right now.

[Jeffrey]

It's important to remember that just cause your buddies think your old stories are funny.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Doesn't mean your dates will agree.

[Jeff]

Ooh, yeah, that's smart.

[Jeffrey]

Lesson one of our listeners says he definitely regrets what he told the woman he was out with. He thought it was just going to be a fun, light hearted tale from his past. But he may have come off looking like a freeloading criminal. Although let's remember, bad boys are sexy.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Brooke]

But freeloading bad boys? Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So you're going to hear it in your second date update. That's coming up next.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning second date update.

[Jeffrey]

You ask anybody and you'll get a lot of different responses for what's the best time of day for a date?

[Brooke]

Oh yeah, because I mean, you have

[Jeffrey]

the traditional seven o' clock dinner plans, people.

[Jeff]

I was literally gonna say 7pm but

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

Wait, what?

[Jeff]

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

[Jeffrey]

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

[Rez]

Hey guys. Thanks for having me.

[William]

How you doing?

[Brooke]

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

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

What time of day do you like to go on your dates, Res?

[Rez]

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

[Jeff]

I was like, oh, what time is. Whatever the girl wants.

[Jeffrey]

She's in charge.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Wow.

[Brooke]

Okay, so you asked. Ask them when would be best.

[Rez]

Yeah, exactly.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Rez]

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

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it is a chill day.

[Brooke]

I think brunch is a great date.

[Rez]

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

[Jeffrey]

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

[Jeff]

Don't push her into the door.

[Jeffrey]

Open it for her. Okay.

[Jeff]

Don't push her into it.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Jeff]

Gentlemen does.

[Brooke]

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

[Rez]

Yes, for sure.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

So you want to know if there's crab legs or not?

[Jeff]

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

[Brooke]

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

[Jeff]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Rez]

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

[Brooke]

You're going to gatekeep it?

[Rez]

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

[Brooke]

Hey, fruit.

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

[Rez]

Yeah, you know, exactly.

[Jeffrey]

It's, like, the worst part of the buffet, but.

[Jeff]

Well, there's a kiwi there. Usually I can't kiwis unless it's At a buffet.

[Jeffrey]

I'm down on it.

[Brooke]

The real fancy ones have the smoothie stations.

[Jeff]

Oh, I've never been to that.

[Rez]

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

[Brooke]

All the fruits.

[Jeffrey]

The secret fruit palace.

[William]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

We won't ask questions.

[Rez]

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

[Brooke]

Can you describe your trips to the buffet? It sounds like you two did some damage at this place, which is good, right?

I'm imagining him just being the server to her.

[Jeffrey]

Honestly, at this point, well, get your money's worth. But did anything, like, awkward or weird happen?

[Rez]

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

[Brooke]

What is it?

[Jeffrey]

A brunch hack.

[Rez]

You know how hotels do continental breakfast for the guests?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rez]

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

[Jeffrey]

I haven't heard of that.

[Jeff]

That's very risky though, because they can ask you if you have a room,

[Brooke]

you make your show. The little coupons usually, like the little paper things they give you. That's true.

You didn't take her to a hotel, did you?

[Rez]

No, no, I just told her that

[Jeffrey]

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

[Jeff]

Showing up and stealing.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Jeff]

I mean, the eggs aren't real anyway.

[Brooke]

And how old has that waffle batter been sitting there? Somebody's gotta eat it, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

I guess. How did Katrina react to hearing your hack?

[Rez]

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

[Brooke]

She's a better person than us.

You would think she'd laugh and talk about, like, how she got free stuff in college or something, you know, unless

[Jeffrey]

he did it last week. And she probably assumed that you weren't going to pay for brunch this time.

[Jeff]

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

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Rez]

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

[Brooke]

Yeah.

So did the whole energy shift after that combo?

[Rez]

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

[Brooke]

Ooh, yikes. Have you tried?

[Rez]

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

[Jeff]

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

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that could be it.

[Brooke]

She's busy.

Yeah, yeah. Give a person a fish or teach him to fish. I see.

[Jeff]

There you go.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Rez]

Thank you, guys.

[Jeffrey]

Hold on.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

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

[Jeff]

He's gatekeeping.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

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

[Jeffrey]

cost anything, so that can be considered a hack. Yeah, if you look at it in

[Jeff]

a different way, it was an idea.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Rez]

I mean, I admit to nothing, though.

[Brooke]

You admit to nothing? You already admitted to it, my friend.

[Jeffrey]

We have recorded evidence of it.

[Brooke]

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

[Rez]

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

[Brooke]

Yeah, well, that seems dramatic.

[Jeffrey]

The good news is we don't know if that was the cause. Sure, she could have some other reason to not be calling you back, but let's dial her number right now. We'll figure out what she has to say.

[Rez]

All right, great.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Rez]

Okay.

[Jeff]

You're good at that, though.

[Rez]

Noted.

[Jeffrey]

All right, here we go. I'm a dialer right now.

[Rez]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Katrina?

[Katrina / Stacy]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

Hey, Katrina, we're all here.

[Jeffrey]

What's up?

[Katrina / Stacy]

What's up?

[William]

Hi.

[Brooke]

Hi. Welcome to the show.

[Jeff]

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

[Jeffrey]

I know. I really opened up.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Sorry. Wait, I'm on a radio show.

[Jeff]

Not a good one either.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Katrina / Stacy]

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

[Brooke]

No, no, we do those too.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, sorry, Jinx.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Jeff]

Him?

[Jeffrey]

A guy named Rez.

[Katrina / Stacy]

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

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

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

[Katrina / Stacy]

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

[Brooke]

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

[Jeffrey]

You don't like nice guys?

[Katrina / Stacy]

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

[Jeffrey]

Missing like a tooth. Did something happen at the buffet that turned you off?

[Katrina / Stacy]

I mean, yes. He.

[Rez]

It was.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Honestly, it was so weird. Like, I've never. I've never experienced anything like this before.

[Rez]

It was.

[Katrina / Stacy]

It was so strange. Like I said, he was really nice. He's, like, offering to go get me food right from the buffet, which was, like, very gentlemanly of him, right? I was like, sure, okay, I'll have, like, some cantaloupe. And then I'd see him walking around, and he finally comes back a few minutes later, and he's like, oh, they don't have it. Okay, But I could see it from where we were sitting. Like, I could see there was cantaloupe sitting on, like, one of the buffet things.

[Brooke]

Maybe he's one of those guys that gets cantaloupe and honeydew mixed up.

[Jeff]

Why would he lie?

[Brooke]

You know?

[Jeff]

Right, Brooke, Maybe he's like, some men

[Brooke]

don't know their melons.

[Jeffrey]

Okay?

[Katrina / Stacy]

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

[Brooke]

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

[Katrina / Stacy]

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

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

Cantaloupe shaming him.

[Rez]

I.

[Katrina / Stacy]

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

[Brooke]

I can't read.

You have to know cantaloupe to suddenly the poor man can't read. Like, that is a wild jump to make.

[Katrina / Stacy]

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

[Jeffrey]

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

[Katrina / Stacy]

What are you talking.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

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

[Jeffrey]

Well, you can get chat GPT to do a lot of that stuff for you. Credit Res, are you there?

[Rez]

Oh, I'm here.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow.

[William]

Are you.

[Jeffrey]

Are you hearing what Katrina is saying about you?

[Rez]

I'm being fruit shamed.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Katrina / Stacy]

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

[Rez]

Well, okay. I know. I know now. I Googled it.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

We love a man who learns.

Yeah, There you go. He took your criticism. He's not offended. That's pretty good.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Katrina / Stacy]

I mean, I'm glad he learned. I'm glad that I was able to, like, help him expand his knowledge. Like, help the less fortunate in terms of what they know about fruit.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Katrina / Stacy]

It doesn't change how I feel.

[Brooke]

The less fortunate.

That is so rude.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Rez]

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

[Brooke]

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

[Jeffrey]

He did say twist. Weird, though.

[Brooke]

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

[Rez]

Katrina, I mean, hear me out. In the moment, I did not know what a cantaloupe was. And, you know, like, apparently I should know this, and now I do. Everyone on the show knows. I know. You know, we're all on the same page. I'm adaptable. I can learn.

[Brooke]

Look at that.

[Jeff]

That's hard nowadays.

[Rez]

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

[Katrina / Stacy]

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

[Brooke]

to the bathroom in the middle of getting you cantaloupe.

[Jeffrey]

Well, desperate times call for desperate measures sometimes.

[Brooke]

But.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

Rez may know a lot of stuff that you don't know yet, too, you know, on the flip side.

Oh, vegetables Nobody needs to know that.

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

[Rez]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Katrina / Stacy]

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

[Brooke]

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

[Jeff]

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

[Brooke]

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

[Jeffrey]

Everybody is different, Brooke. It's not your life that we're living here. Katrina has standards. And one of the standards is cantaloupe. Or at least knowing what a cantaloupe is.

[Brooke]

I guess we all have different boundaries.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Katrina / Stacy]

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

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Jeff]

What if he can name 10 fruits right now?

[Rez]

Apple, pear, pineapple, nectarine.

[Jeff]

I was kidding.

[Rez]

Guava.

[Jeff]

Guava.

[Brooke]

Hello.

[Jeff]

Brownie points for this.

[Brooke]

There's no way he's picking guava out of a table. There's no way he doesn't know what it looks like.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Jeff]

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

[Jeffrey]

Nice try.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Geico Gecko]

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today. People who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Jeffrey]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Geico.

[Brooke]

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

Oh, you've come to my side?

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

Sure.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

What is it then?

[Jeffrey]

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

[Jeff]

What's going to happen when someone hands her a kumquat? She has no idea what what to do. I don't even know what a kumquat looks like.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, so it's like she's looking down the road of like, other problems that are going to be arising if he

[Brooke]

doesn't know this making problems.

The real problem is how much fruit she's eating at breakfast instead of pancakes and bacon. That's a red flag.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, that's not bad.

[Brooke]

She must spend a lot of time in the bathroom after that type of diet.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

Okay, cantaloupe, I guess it's a very, very short line.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Katrina / Stacy]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe you've been there before. Where you go out with someone and after the date you realize, man, I don't know if I'm good enough for them.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's sad, Jeffrey.

[Jeffrey]

Like, maybe she's used to dining on frog legs all Groton. And you're used to senor frogs Gro and jaw Tequila Tuesdays.

[Brooke]

Now Alexis is perfect. It's on a guy named Groton.

[Jeffrey]

You have enough. One of our listeners is definitely looking for all the help he can get to lock down another hangout with a very classy woman that he met online. I'm not sure if we're the right group of people to help with this.

[Brooke]

Excuse me. I'm very classy.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

This isn't the senor Frogs, Brooke.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Shot.

[Brooke]

Shot.

[Jeff]

It's like one of us has a corn cob pipe and Brook just has a corn cob.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. We're gonna try our best in your second date update.

[Brooke]

Okay, we put on an ascot for this one.

[Jeffrey]

Regal. Just do it normal style right after this.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

One of the keys to successfully dating is just to actually give a crap and try.

[Jeff]

That's a big key, J. I feel

[Brooke]

like that's too much work.

[Jeffrey]

The thing is, don't try too hard, cuz that comes off desperate.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, that's a turn off.

[Jeffrey]

You can't try too little either though, because then you see like a jerk

[Brooke]

who just doesn't care just right amount.

[Jeffrey]

Goldilocks it and try medium till it's just right. And one of our listeners, William, emailed the show saying he's worried he may have tried too hard on his date. William, you didn't channel your inner Goldilocks for this?

[William]

I. I tried. I might have tried too hard.

[Brooke]

You didn't wake up in a strange house with three bears. Failure.

[Jeff]

If you're not down in porridge, you ain't doing it right, buddy.

[Jeffrey]

Well, we can't undo anything that happened, but why don't you tell us about it a little bit? What's the name of the woman that you went out with?

[William]

Her name is Stacy.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so where'd you meet her?

[William]

I met her online. You know, at first I was actually pretty intimidated just by her profile pictures.

[Brooke]

Oh. Cause she's like really attractive to you.

[William]

Well, that for sure. But also, she seems to have kind of an extravagant, sophisticated, cultured life. More so than myself, I'll say.

[Brooke]

Okay, what did she put in her pictures to like, to pick that.

[William]

Yeah, there was like pictures of her on a sailboat with what looks to be her very well dressed Family maybe in Greece somewhere.

[Brooke]

Oh my gosh.

[William]

She was, you know, at soccer games in Europe.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's a match, sir.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Wouldn't expect you to be fancy enough to know that.

[Jeff]

That's amazing.

[William]

So yeah, it was really intimidating, which I actually told her that. That in the initial messaging. That you did. Yeah, I mean I'm pretty honest, maybe to default, but.

[Brooke]

Okay. Well she obviously liked it because she

[Jeffrey]

responded, Alexis, if a guy writes to you, I'm intimidated by you.

[Brooke]

I'm like, yeah, I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

Is that not a strong move?

[Brooke]

No, not really. I mean a football game in Europe doesn't cost that much. It's like, don't be that intimidated.

Okay.

I'm just saying. Ticket to get there.

Okay.

I'm just saying. I, I take it mad.

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

But the bottom line is she responded

[William]

and yeah, she responded all right. She said haha, you should be.

[Brooke]

Oh, she liked it.

[Jeffrey]

So what'd you do for a date?

[William]

I made dinner reservations. Nice little spot. I got dressed up, even borrowed a nice shirt from my roommate.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeff]

A good shirt that everyone shares.

[Brooke]

Do dudes normally do that? Like share fancy clothes when you have a roommate life?

[Jeff]

I used to have a blazer and we had like a community. Community blazer.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, yeah, it's like there's

[Jeff]

throw it on anybody.

[Jeffrey]

Did that pay off for you?

[William]

I mean, I, I was feeling good, so that helpful, I think. And she told me I looked nice and she looked incredible.

[Brooke]

Did you tell her that was scary too, how good she looked?

[William]

Yeah, I mean I, I reiterated how intimidated I was.

[Jeff]

I'm imagining you, I like cowering at

[Brooke]

everything, like just wincy every time she lifts up her fork to eat.

[Jeff]

You're too beautiful.

[Jeffrey]

We're playing it up for you, man. I, I'm sure you were fine.

[William]

I think so. I mean she was really nice for the most part.

[Jeffrey]

I mean I, I, for the most part.

[William]

I saw that she loves chocolate also on her profile, so I thought I'd bring her a gift. And I brought her Almond Roca.

[Jeff]

Oh, that's cute.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Ew.

[Jeff]

Hopefully she's on a.

[Brooke]

Are we all gonna act like that was the best option?

[Jeffrey]

Almond rockets are good.

[Brooke]

Kind of a grandparent parents chocolate, but

you know, but good for you.

[William]

I always see it at this store and it looks nice. It has like gold foil. I thought it looked kind of fancy, but she said it's not really chocolate, which I, I didn't real. I'd never had really eaten it myself.

[Brooke]

It's kind of toffee.

[Jeff]

It Is a lot of toffee.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Harsh to say when someone's giving you

[Brooke]

a gift that's not actually.

[Jeffrey]

Take us to the highlights of the date. What were the good moments?

[William]

Well, during dinner, I wanted to get to know. I had. I was so curious, you know, from her profile. And I kept asking her a lot of questions, and I might have kind of asked too many questions.

[Brooke]

Is that possible?

[William]

I don't.

[Rez]

Maybe.

[William]

If it starts to feel like somebody's giving you the third degree or interrogating you, which wasn't really my attention, but,

[Brooke]

I mean, if there's not, like, a real natural flow to it, I guess. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You don't want the date to come off sounding like a job interview.

[Brooke]

Yeah. So tell me here.

[Jeffrey]

Where do you see yourself five to

[Brooke]

ten years from now?

Can you think of one question that went too far?

[William]

I asked her if she's ever been engaged before.

[Brooke]

Oh, What?

[Jeffrey]

First date question.

[Brooke]

Okay. And what was her response?

[William]

Well, because we talked a little bit about house relationships, and she had. Was dating a guy in Spain for a long time, and that's how it came up because she said it was really serious. Oh, man.

[Brooke]

It's kind of intense.

[William]

I was not trying to pry, though.

[Brooke]

You're not trying to pry.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sure it was.

[Jeff]

I don't think it's that bad.

[Jeffrey]

Let's go to the end of the day. What happened at the end?

[William]

Well, we had the Almond Roca for dessert, which was nice at the restaurant.

[Brooke]

And you just opened up the package right there.

[Rez]

Yeah.

[William]

Well, because they asked if we wanted any dessert. She said she wasn't that hungry, but I said, oh, I brought this for you. And that's when I presented her with the Roca.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's when she turned up her nose and said, so really? Chocolate?

[William]

She did say that, but then we did actually enjoy it together. And I hope she thought it was funny that I tried, even though I failed at even bringing chocolate.

[Jeff]

Some pity Roca. Yeah.

[Brooke]

All right.

[Jeffrey]

All right. Well, I'm gonna give it a B plus so far. That's my. That's my grade. Maybe like a C. I'm grading it on a curve.

[Brooke]

Have you heard from her?

[William]

Well, I haven't really heard from her, but it ended okay. Like, we hugged. We said goodbye.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. That's what Brooke does with her children, though, so you can't really judge by it.

[Jeff]

Also gives them Almond Roca.

[Brooke]

They complain about every food item I give them.

[Jeffrey]

So the good news is there's a lot of room to improve from here. And we're gonna try and do that when we come back and do your second date update right after this.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

If you're just joining us, we're on the phone with William, who went out recently with a world traveler named Stacy. Yeah, Stacy has studied in the universities of Europe. She's dated the men of Spain and cheered for the football clubs of Lichtenberg, where instead of cheering, hooray there, they cheer in reverse.

[Brooke]

Oh, really?

[Jeffrey]

Jose, can you say hooray backwards? Yeah, that's right. It's classy because it's European. Well, hopefully we all be saying Y at the end of the second day when we get Stacy and William to meet up again.

[Jeff]

I like it.

[Jeffrey]

But obviously, she is clearly a world traveler. He was intimidated by that. Which led me to the question, William, why would she want to go out with you in the first place? He said himself that she's so worldly, she's so traveled.

[Rez]

What.

[Jeffrey]

What would be the appeal for her?

[William]

Well, I'm a nice guy, and I'm open to going on more traveling ventures. I mean, I've traveled a little bit myself.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you've traveled the world?

[Brooke]

Come on, Jeffrey. Not everybody can afford that. But I think what would be appealing is he seems like a really curious guy. Right? Like, that's who. Someone who likes to travel.

[Jeffrey]

There's websites for curious men, and I think that's a totally different issue.

[Brooke]

Brooke, he's like.

[Jeffrey]

I think you sound totally fine, by the way.

[Legends Advertiser]

William.

[Brooke]

He's honestly interested in her adventures.

Asked a ton of questions.

[Jeffrey]

Have you traveled at all before? You not travel? What's your travel experience?

[William]

No. Yeah, I. I mean, I've been out of the country. I've. I've gone to Cabo twice.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow.

[William]

I've driven to Scottsdale before.

[Brooke]

Scottsdale, wow.

[Jeff]

Not just Phoenix.

[Brooke]

All party places of Arizona.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, there's something to work with here. It's not quite, you know, the Vienna Opera House House, but it's close, so. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Plus, the positive is she could show him all these places. Jeffrey.

[William]

Sure.

[Brooke]

We just have to convince her of that.

[Jeffrey]

And he can show her the golf course at Scottsdale.

[Brooke]

Yeah, let's just get her on the phone.

[Jeffrey]

I'm excited to talk to this worldly lady. Let's get her on the phone right now. Here we go. You ready?

[Jeff]

Does she speak English? Jeff, we asked this.

[Jeffrey]

She does speak English, right?

[William]

I think she speaks a couple languages, actually, but English is one.

[Jeff]

English is one. On your date.

[Jeffrey]

Otherwise, this call's gonna go really, really badly. All right, I'm gonna try English on and see how it goes.

[William]

Here.

[Jeffrey]

I'm dialing the number right now.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Bonjour. Is this stacy? I'm so sorry for this.

[Brooke]

Hey, at least I use French.

I won't try.

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Sorry. Hey, Stacy. I'm hoping this is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the the Morning.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Can I help you?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we need a lot of help, but mostly we're looking for help for one of our listeners named William because he's a guy who, rumor has it, you went on a date with recently.

[Katrina / Stacy]

What is this about a date?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, this is. It's a segment we do called Second Date Update where our listeners go out with someone and if they're not hearing back or if they feel like they're getting ghosted, they can email us and we'll try and reach out to that person for the them.

[Brooke]

It's a real North American continent type thing. Yeah.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry for being weird about all the North America stuff. It's just we. We heard that you're very well traveled.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Yes, I am well traveled. Who was the guy or what? Which date was this? I've been on a couple recently.

[Jeffrey]

It was Willie. Oh, yeah. William.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Oh, William. Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Yes. You guys went and got dinner together the other night?

[Katrina / Stacy]

Yes, we went out to dinner.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Did you enjoy it?

[Katrina / Stacy]

I don't know what you want from me here. I.

[Rez]

It was.

[Katrina / Stacy]

It was a nice time.

[Jeff]

Okay, well, I guess that's what we want is honesty.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we're just. We're trying to help out William a little bit because he doesn't understand why there hasn't been a second meetup.

[Brooke]

He really liked you a lot and thought that maybe they saw some potential between you two.

[Katrina / Stacy]

I just. Honestly, he just wasn't cultured enough for me. And I don't know, he just. He lacked manners. Manners?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, lacked manners.

[Jeff]

Hold on. Are we nitpicking? Did he not, like, have his fork on the right area of the plate?

[Katrina / Stacy]

No, he just. He didn't have. He doesn't have good etiquette.

[Brooke]

Okay, can you example?

[Katrina / Stacy]

Yeah, an example is he kind of yelled out when he had to go to the bathroom. You know, we're in this really nice restaurant.

[Jeff]

Potty. Potty time.

[Jeffrey]

He announced it to, like, the whole room or. What do you mean? Mean?

[Katrina / Stacy]

Yes, he just. He got up and he says, I'm going to the bathroom. And it was like. It was a big announcement.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

Wait, what? That's bad etiquette.

[Jeff]

Excuse me.

[Brooke]

I think he was just Trying to tell her where he was going so that you didn't think he was ditching you or something.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Well, he could have just said, excuse me for a minute.

[Jeff]

Exactly.

[Jeffrey]

I'll be right back.

[Jeff]

I'll be right back.

[Brooke]

You have a lot higher standards than I do.

[Jeff]

I know.

[Jeffrey]

I think that's a little bit. Bit picky. At least for us. Is that all that he did?

[Katrina / Stacy]

No. We're at a very nice steakhouse, and he waved down the waiter to get more bread and.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, is that. Is that rude?

[Jeff]

What is that?

[Brooke]

I love that bread.

I know.

[Jeffrey]

If the bread's good, you want more.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Well, it would just seemed a little low class to me. He could have waited till they came to refill, you know, my wine or

[Jeff]

have a good server at a nice restaurant. It's going to check on you all the time.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Time.

[Jeff]

So you expect them to be around every five minutes?

[Jeffrey]

I guess if I remember back to my private school, you are supposed to wait for the waiter to come to the table.

[Legends Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You're not supposed to shout across the restaurant.

[Jeff]

That's why they asked. Hey, can I get anybody anything?

[Brooke]

Nobody lives by these rules anymore.

[Jeffrey]

They're like, well, that's okay to Fuddruckers, Brooke, but it's not okay when you go to an actual respected place.

[Legends Advertiser]

Hey.

[Brooke]

Took her to a beautiful steak dinner, right? He's the one that picked it. He's the one that took you there.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Yes. The restaurant was great. It's just. I mean, there's more stuff. He's just so loud, and I was whispering because there's other people around, and it was just really inappropriate for such a nice place.

[William]

I'm sorry, guys.

[Rez]

Excuse me.

[William]

Excuse me. I'm sorry. This is William. We were at an Outback Steakhouse.

[Brooke]

What?

[William]

It wasn't a Michelin star type of restaurant. I mean.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry. Hold on, hold on, hold on. William. I need to let Stacy know that William has been waiting on the other line listening to this whole conversation. He's. He's wanting to talk to you. Obviously.

[Jeff]

It was an Outback.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Yes, it was an Outback Steakhouse. It was the first time I've ever been. It was a very lovely Australian steakhouse.

[Brooke]

Australian.

[Katrina / Stacy]

It was lovely.

[Jeff]

So hold on. This is kind of funny. You're so worldly that you've never been to a. An outback, which is not worldly.

[Katrina / Stacy]

What do you mean?

[Jeffrey]

Stacy, you think that an Outback steakhouse is a very, like, fine dining establishment?

[Brooke]

I'm sorry.

[Jeffrey]

It's a big compliment for any Outback people listening.

[Katrina / Stacy]

It's not that it was, like, the best steakhouse I've ever been, but it was just.

[Jeff]

It's cute.

[Katrina / Stacy]

It felt authentic.

[Brooke]

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Legends Advertiser]

Did you.

[Brooke]

Did you look around at the other guests?

You can wave down all the free bread you want there.

[Jeff]

Yeah, totally.

[Katrina / Stacy]

I have traveled a lot, and not all restaurants are five stars, you know, Michelin restaurants, but they're beautiful, and there's culture, so I thought that that was just an authentic, you know, thing.

[Jeff]

You were giving it the respect it doesn't really deserve.

[Brooke]

There's definitely culture at Outback, but it's not like, high society culture.

[Jeff]

Yeah, that's.

[Katrina / Stacy]

You know, honestly, I'm just happy he didn't take me to a chain restaurant.

[Brooke]

Chain restaurant.

That was bad.

[Jeffrey]

You know, I wouldn't recommend Googling Outback State.

[Jeff]

That would be awesome.

[Brooke]

But you should try Applebee's. It's this little quaint place. Oh, yeah.

Great. Long Island Iced Teas.

I Bar and Grill, and maybe a T.G.I.

fried ice.

[Jeff]

Uh.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I don't want to give you too many ideas.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Honestly, I don't even know what you guys are talking about.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay.

[Jeff]

Well, good.

[Jeffrey]

Don't worry about any of that. We should be worried about is William, who had a great time with you the other night, restaurant and etiquette aside. And what he really wants is just to see you one more time and give it another chance.

[Katrina / Stacy]

Yeah.

[William]

And you know what? If you do agree to go on a date with me on a second date night, I really do hope you do. I will take you to a really nice place, and I will show you that I have proper etiquette. I am a classy guy. I know how to behave, depending on where I'm at. And I want you to give me a chance to show that to you.

[Brooke]

That was a gentleman response if I have ever heard one.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Well, correct crafted, very thoughtful. And all that's left now is Stacy. A yes or no. If you want to go out with him one more time, we'll pay for it. And tell us if you're curtsying while you're doing it, please.

[Katrina / Stacy]

You know what? I. I don't do charity. I'm okay.

[Rez]

Oh.

my God, it just occurred to me I totally forgot to bring up the almond rocas. Oh yeah, that sounds European and fancy.

[Jeff]

It's a classy dessert. It's not from Europe, but it is classy.

[Jeffrey]

Keisha should get points for bringing a classy Sounding dessert to Al.

[Legends Advertiser]

Okay.

[Jeff]

Classy sounding. I like.

[Brooke]

My husband used to send those to his Jamaica, his grandma in Jamaica and she called them the candy with the breadcrumbs.

[Jeffrey]

I think if you pull some gold foil wrapped candy out of your pocket after dinner, I don't care if it's half melted. That is class.

[Brooke]

It doesn't really melt because it's so hard. The outside does.

[Jeffrey]

But I totally forgot to mention it though. Though I am losing my touch.

[Brooke]

You think that's what went wrong?

[Jeffrey]

It could have been at least some bonus points in his corner for having a little bit of extra, you know, zhuzh.

[Brooke]

I don't think so. I like. Dude, she's a little confused. I mean she thought the outback was fancy.

[Jeffrey]

Well, we didn't get it done this time but we promised to do better next time. Yeah, okay. You could be part of that next time. If you email the show, we'll call that person who isn't calling you back.

[Geico Gecko]

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico gecko, here are some things you ought to know today. People who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Jeffrey]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Geico.
