Episode: Offer He Can't Refuse + Sea Meat Surprise
Date: July 18, 2026
Podcast: iHeartPodcasts’ Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

---

Episode Overview

This “classics” episode features two back-to-back "Second Date Update" stories filled with awkward, hilarious, and revealing moments about modern dating challenges. As usual, the team—Brooke, Jeffrey, Alexis, and guest hosts—use their witty banter to both help listeners get the real reason behind a failed second date and provide high-energy comedic commentary.
The two central stories are:

1. Offer He Can't Refuse: Ari calls in after a third date with Victor goes cold—she wants answers and maybe half her money back after footing the bill.
2. Sea Meat Surprise: Denise, looking for a successful man, meets Franklin at a golf club, but her quirky eating habits (and vocabulary) leave a lasting—and confusing—impression.

---

Segment One: Offer He Can't Refuse

[Starts ~04:25]

Main Storyline

Ari reached out after her three promising dates with Victor fizzled. Things seemed to be going well until an awkward bill situation at an upscale restaurant. Ari ended up paying over $200, Victor didn’t seem grateful, and now he’s barely communicating. Ari wants clarity—and her money back.

---

Key Points & Insights

• First Two Dates: Light, easygoing, and both paid by Victor. The couple even coincidentally wore matching outfits on date one—a fun detail that suggested strong chemistry.

  • [06:14 Ari]: "It was like white tops, brown bottoms, and white shoes… We just naturally have the same sense."

• Third Date Bill Drama: At a fancy restaurant, Ari arrived first and put her credit card down to hold the reservation. When the bill arrived, the waiter asked if he should run her card. Victor was awkwardly passive and didn’t offer to pay or split.

  • [09:11 Ari]: “It was so weird and awkward… so I’m like, well, just go ahead and run my card.”

• No Thank You, No Follow-up: Victor failed to thank Ari and communication stalled afterward. Ari feels slighted after the expensive evening and debates if she even wants to see Victor again—unless he pays her for half the dinner.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Ari sets the tone:
  [09:57 Brooke]: "That's weird, because you paid. Like, it feels like—"
  [10:13 Ari]: "If he doesn’t want to see me again, I feel like he needs to run me my money. Like he needs to pay for half…"

• The Confrontation—calling Victor (starts ~12:47):

  • Victor is polite but admits he’s just “exploring options” as he’s new to the city.
    • [14:01 Victor]: “Yeah, I’m for my options. I mean, I’m new to the city, so I wanted to, you know, date a little bit…”
  • Ari calls him out:
    [15:38 Ari]: “You should be nervous because… I’m not part of your starting lineup, buddy… I’m not one of your little flings. I don’t move like that.”
  • Ari presses Victor for a Venmo payback for the half of the expensive meal:
    [17:16 Ari]: “You need to go ahead and… Venmo me half of that bill. I can text you a picture of the receipt.”

• Victor’s Retort: [17:33 Victor]: “Okay. I can say the same thing for you. I paid for the drinks for the first two dates, so why don’t you send me that money back too?”

• Hosts’ Banter: The Godfather jokes (“I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse… or send you an Applebee’s card with half the balance gone”) pepper the exchange, highlighting the show’s playful, irreverent vibe.

---

Outcome

• No romance, no refund:
  • [19:21 Victor]: “Ari, it was nice meeting you, but I’m never paying you that money back.”
  • Ari and the hosts warn listeners off dating Victor, suggesting any future meet-cute may end up in “small claims court on Judge Judy.”
• Memorable Takeaway: The hosts escalate the absurdity with mock threats ("gonna have to break some kneecaps" [19:35 Jeff]).

---

Segment Two: Sea Meat Surprise

[Starts ~22:55]

Main Storyline

Denise wanted to up her dating game by meeting successful men offline. She took advice from an influencer and started hanging out at a golf course—a tip for where to find career-focused men. There, she met Franklin, the “car wash king.” They hit it off, but after a dinner date, Franklin ghosted.

---

Key Points & Insights

• Golf Course Strategy: Denise deliberately switched from apps to meeting men IRL, trying the golf course scene per influencer advice.

  • [24:27 Denise]: “One of the influencers said that businessmen and executives like to golf…”

• How They Met: Not on the green, but at the clubhouse bar, after Denise spent an hour on the putting green. Franklin shared his business success; Denise was impressed.

• Quirky First Impression: Denise brought her own silverware to dinner for sanitary reasons, something she admits is unusual but non-negotiable.

  • [27:16 Denise]: "Sometimes you can see that [restaurant silverware] is not washed properly… I'd rather be safe than sorry."

• The Moment of Truth—Franklin’s Take: When called, Franklin is courteous but admits the “land meat” vs. “sea meat” terminology Denise uses left him confused and, ultimately, turned off.

  • [33:25 Franklin]: “She came across as a little… high maintenance, I guess.”

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Land meat” confusion ([33:39 Brooke]):

  • Denise questioned if the potstickers on their date were “land meat”—which she defines as animals that have never touched water (not just seafood!).
  • [34:23 Franklin]: “Is it a pig that’s only been in the slop? Is it a chicken that’s never been bathed?”

• Denise Stands Her Ground:
  [36:43 Denise]: “I can just tell you what I taste, and it’s completely different… It is not high maintenance. It’s high knowledge.”

• Host Banter:

  • [40:36 Brooke]: “Do you ever feel like maybe we’re going to be on the wrong side of history for this one? ...I bet in a few years, land meat and sea meat are going to be on restaurant menus all over the country.”

---

Outcome

• No second date: Franklin is bewildered by Denise’s eating rules (“If a lamb can’t take a bath… what does that even mean?” [37:07 Franklin]), and Denise decides to "exit first."
• Denise's attitude: She’s unfazed, ready to go back to the golf course or “hit every one of his car washes till we find him” [29:17 Alexis].
• Hosts wrap up: With playful mockery of the “land meat/sea meat” divide and self-awareness about their own “future-cancelable” judgments.

Highlights, Quotes, and Timestamps

Funniest & Most Memorable Moments

• “Venmo me half the bill” confrontations (Ari & Victor):
  [17:16] - [18:12]
• Godfather parody and Applebee’s gift card joke:
  [11:11] & [19:00]
• Denise’s “land meat” vs. “sea meat” insistence:
  [33:53] - [36:29]
• Hosts’ future predictions about “land meat”:
  [40:31] - [41:13]

Notable Speaker Quotes

• Ari (about splitting the bill):
  “If he doesn’t want to see me again, I feel like he needs to run me my money. Like… he needs to pay for half.” [10:13]

• Victor (explaining dating multiple women):
  “I’m new to the city… I’m scouting the roster.” [14:23]

• Denise (defending land meat):
  “It is not high maintenance. It’s high knowledge. Knowing what I’m putting in my body.” [37:59]

• Franklin (on Denise’s specificity):
  “If a lamb can’t take a bath, what does that even mean?” [37:07]

---

Episode Tone and Takeaway

The tone is playful, confrontational, and self-aware, with both hosts and callers unafraid to be candid or ridiculous. There’s a mix of real dating pain points (who pays, ghosting, honesty about intentions) and genuine absurdity (land meat “science,” literal requests for Venmo paybacks).

If You Missed It:

• Dating can involve unexpected economics and etiquette battles—even after three seemingly good dates.
• Idiosyncrasies and quirks (like carrying your own silverware or “land meat” rules) can doom a connection before it even starts—especially when miscommunication reigns.
• The hosts amplify awkwardness for comedy’s sake, but beneath the jokes is a keen eye on the complexities of modern romance.

[Jeffrey]

here on Saturday, which means you get a back to back classics episode. Thank you so much for joining us on the second date podcast, the official one. And good luck to Argentina and to Spain. Or am I allowed to say that, Alexis?

[Alexis]

I know I'm. You know, I'm team Argentina. I have been. My friend has had me sat. I have had to read and learn the lyrics of all their chants. Right now, let me tell you, there's a new one every game.

[Jeffrey]

Are you learning them in Spanish or in English?

[Ari]

Both.

[Alexis]

I have to know the translations, apparently, to really understand the meaning.

[Jeff]

I see.

[Alexis]

But I just know the rhythm right now.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Kind of just more like I'm going for Spain.

[Ari]

I like it.

[Jeffrey]

I love it.

[Danielle Fischl]

Let's go, Spain.

[Jeffrey]

Let's go World Cup.

[Alexis]

Yes. Well, I picked this comment before I realized it's not from either of the countries we're talking about. But Serena Tucker said, I live in Tahiti. It's in the Pacific Ocean and next to Bora Bora. Yeah, I've also lived in Bora Bora. And Brooke, if you ever come to Tahiti, please let us know. Oh, just Brooke, apparently. Thanks, Serena.

[Jeffrey]

I'll book a trip now. Yes. That sounds glorious, dude. And to have a local to be able to show you around, that's brag about it, Brock.

[Danielle Fischl]

We're not invited.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, come on, let me talk about it more. All right, let's get to these back to back classics.

[Brooke]

Right now, all it takes is one innocent question from a stranger to totally ruin the vibe on a first date. For example, if your waiter looks at you dead in the eye and says, wait, aren't you that guy from the hemorrhoids commercial? I mean, it's not good even though you are famous. I was really good in that commercial. Still not a good look. One of our listeners says a deafening silence happened after an awkward question from their waiter, and now she's not getting a call back after, you're gonna hear what it was in your second date update right after this.

[Morning Show Host]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning Second date update.

[Brooke]

You know, in all the years that we've done this segment, we've had a few listeners call up saying, I know that we only hung out once, but I'm pretty sure they're the one.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my gosh.

[Brooke]

We've had other people say, I am ready to marry this person right now.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's not a red flag.

[Danielle Fischl]

I'm on the phone.

[Jeffrey]

That's a little too much. Yep.

[Brooke]

But rarely do we have people email and tell us I want a date, even though I'm not 100% sure I really want to go out with Them again.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, I mean, even if they don't tell us, most of them are thinking that, you know.

[Kalpen (Kal Penn)]

Sure.

[Brooke]

But it's a little bit confusing to me. So we're just going to get the listener on the phone who said that to us today. Her name is Ari. Welcome to the show. You do realize this is second date update, not second date.

[Danielle Fischl]

Maybe.

[Victor]

I don't know.

[Brooke]

We'll see how I feel by the end of the call, Right?

[Morning Show Host]

Hi.

[Ari]

Yes, I do understand.

[Danielle Fischl]

Okay, so you're committed.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, are we just calling this person because they rejected you? Like, let's be honest for a second.

[Ari]

No, it's not even like that. Like, I like this guy.

[Brooke]

Okay, well, tell us a little bit about him. What's his name? How'd you meet?

[Ari]

So his name is Victor. I met him online and he really looked so nice. He had a really nice beard.

[Danielle Fischl]

Oh, I'm so jealous of dude with beards.

[Jeffrey]

I love a good beard.

[Danielle Fischl]

It's just Jeff looking at you.

[Franklin]

I know.

[Brooke]

Of course she brought it up because I'm in here.

[Jeffrey]

That's not what I meant to him when you said it.

[Brooke]

I know the winks were a little bit aggressive, but that's okay.

[Ari]

Okay.

[Alexis]

God.

[Discover Card Advertiser]

Anyway.

[Jeffrey]

So uncomfortable.

[Brooke]

Clearly you're not alone, Ari. So good beard stuck out to you.

[Ari]

Yes, yes, it was really nice. So we went on three dates.

[Jeffrey]

Three.

[Brooke]

Three.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, you're already breaking the rules.

[Danielle Fischl]

Second date.

[Jeffrey]

So now there's a fourth date update, actually today.

[Grainger Advertiser]

Wow.

[Ari]

Okay, well, listen, the first two, they went really well. Okay, so what you do.

[Jeffrey]

Just real quick, are you doing coffee or what?

[Ari]

So the first day we showed up in matching outfits First.

[Brooke]

Oh, on purpose?

[Jacob Goldstein]

Yeah.

[Ari]

No, this was like. It was an accident.

[Jeffrey]

That's.

[Alexis]

So was it like jeans and a plain T shirt or like something crazy?

[Ari]

It was like white tops, brown bottoms and white shoes.

[Danielle Fischl]

Couples will dress alike. That is good chemistry.

[Jeffrey]

Like, you naturally have the same sense. You're on the same wavelength.

[Ari]

That's what I thought.

[Brooke]

The room thinks this is a good thing. Okay. What were you doing for your date?

[Ari]

Oh, so like, we just went for a drink.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Ari]

It was a really good time. So he's like, look, let's go for a second one.

[Victor]

Right.

[Ari]

So we did something fun again. Just drinks, nothing too heavy.

[Brooke]

Oh, so you basically went on the same date twice?

[Jeffrey]

The same good date twice, just with different outfits.

[Brooke]

Both.

[Danielle Fischl]

Yeah.

[Ari]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Unless you guys decided to wear the exact same one for date number two again. Because the first one went so well.

[Danielle Fischl]

How am I going to find you in the Restaurant.

[Ari]

We were just wearing different clothes on it.

[Jacob Goldstein]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so that one obviously went well because there was a third date, right?

[Jacob Goldstein]

Yeah.

[Ari]

Yeah. So we decided to go a little more upscale for the third date.

[Jeffrey]

That's the right timing.

[Ari]

Yeah, we did dinner at this fancy restaurant. It was really nice.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay, so how did date three go once you got to this nice restaurant?

[Ari]

So, like, I had got there first. And in order, you know, to get seated, you have to have a credit card on file with the host. So I put my credit card down so we wouldn't lose the table.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Ari]

You know, he was running a little late.

[Danielle Fischl]

Okay.

[Ari]

Uh.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's nice.

[Brooke]

Well, that's not nice nice that he's late.

[Kalpen (Kal Penn)]

What?

[Brooke]

That's a bad move.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I mean, it's a third date. Like, things happen, right? Like, maybe got caught at work or

[Danielle Fischl]

something super late or, like, normal.

[Brooke]

Four hours later when he finally showed up, how did it go?

[Ari]

No, it wasn't that late. It was like he was about, like, 15 to 20 minutes.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so you're still feeling good?

[Ari]

Yeah, everything is fine. And then, like, the bill comes, and the waiter's like, hey, should I just go ahead and run the credit card that's on file?

[Jeff]

Uh.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's your card?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. What happened?

[Ari]

Well, like, he just looking, like, stupid.

[Brooke]

The waiter or Victor, you're dead.

[Jeffrey]

I think Victor.

[Danielle Fischl]

Victor. Because he's confused.

[Jeffrey]

Is he confused or is he trying not to hear it? Like, I don't know.

[Ari]

Yeah, he's making it awkward because he's very, like, hesitant, and he knows that my card is on fire.

[Brooke]

He does know he's defaulting to you, I guess, to be like, it's your card. You get to make the decision.

[Alexis]

Did you pay for the last two dates? Because then I could kind of see it.

[Danielle Fischl]

Oh, that's a good question.

[Ari]

He paid for them, but, I mean, he's the guy, so.

[Danielle Fischl]

Yeah, traditional guys would go, oh, no way. Give me that bill.

[Alexis]

But after a few days, it's different.

[Jeffrey]

And she's the one that put the credit card down. I would think that you're telling me that you're wanting to pay.

[Brooke]

So what happened?

[Ari]

So because things is just so weird and awkward, and the waiter just standing there looking at both of us, I'm like, well, just go ahead and run my car. Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Ari]

Once the waiter walked away, he was like, well, your card is already on

[Morning Show Host]

file, so, you know, we should just

[Ari]

make it less of a headache for the waiter.

[Jeffrey]

He didn't say thank you?

[Ari]

No.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Danielle Fischl]

Oh, yeah.

[Ari]

And the Bill. The bill was over $200.

[Danielle Fischl]

Oh, it's a nice place.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Ari]

But I'm like, whatever. I'm like, I'm not tripping about it. Okay, but like, after that date, we haven't really been talking as much. Like, at first, I felt like he's really putting a pressure on me and keeping in contact. I'm like, when going to see you again? Type of thing. But, like, since that day, everything slowed down a lot, and I really don't know why.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay, that's weird, because you paid. Like, it feels like.

[Brooke]

Yeah. So going back to the beginning of this call, is that why you were saying? Because of the whole bill situation? Maybe you're not 100% sure you really want to see him again for another date?

[Ari]

Yeah, and if he doesn't want to see me again, I feel like he needs to run me my money. Like he needs to pay for half of the day.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow, his half. Okay.

[Alexis]

He should. There's Venmo Teasy in there.

[Jeffrey]

Seriously, you can't say that if like. Like a guy can't come back and say you didn't go out. I mean, if you're never gonna see

[Alexis]

him again, what's the harm in asking?

[Jeffrey]

You know, Alexis, if you dude ask you that, you'd be so upset.

[Alexis]

But I would do it. Cause I can't say no.

[Brooke]

Doesn't have it in her. But if he says yes, then you don't care about the bill situation?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God, yes.

[Ari]

If he say yes, I don't care because it's like, we'll probably go to more fancy restaurants and then he'll pay.

[Brooke]

All right, well, we're gonna see how this goes when we call to get you your second date update and maybe half of your money back.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, debt collector, right after this, Brooke

[Morning Show Host]

and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Brooke]

We're in the middle of a second date update. And if this doesn't go well with Victor. Yes, we may need to go full godfather on him.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's the music.

[Victor]

I see.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, I haven't seen these movies. Explain.

[Jeff]

It's Jeffrey from the second date. I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse.

[Jeffrey]

That's pretty good, Jeff.

[Jeff]

Either you pay the nice woman, or we can make it real uncomfortable for you, send you a gift card to Applebee's with half of the balance gun. Could put.

[Ari]

I don't know.

[Brooke]

It's actually the worst thing that we could do in this situation. Give a half used gift card to somebody. It's just disrespectful do you have an

[Jeffrey]

old Italian monster living inside your body?

[Alexis]

Is that actually good?

[Brooke]

I'm not going to tell you where my body's at. We can't really threaten Ari's date here. But if he says he does not want to see her again, Ari wants to ask him to pay her back for half of the bill from their final date because it was at this nice upscale restaurant. He kind of stuck her with it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, so kind of.

[Jeff]

Kind of.

[Brooke]

It was a little awkward at the

[Jeffrey]

end, like, don't you think, Ari, that he thought you wanted to pay?

[Ari]

Absolutely not. He should have never thought that.

[Jeff]

Oh, he showed you disrespect. And it's not okay.

[Alexis]

Okay. We hyped you too much.

[Jeffrey]

You lost. I think it's the. You need the music.

[Brooke]

Yeah, we're going to call Victor here. Hopefully we can avoid all of that. And he just says, yes, he would love to see you again. It's all a big misunderstanding, but I'm going to dial his number right now. Here we go.

[Victor]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Hey, is this Victor?

[Victor]

This is Victor. How you doing?

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Oh, you're so. You're so polite. I'm good.

[Danielle Fischl]

I'm really good.

[Jeffrey]

I'm good too, Victor.

[Danielle Fischl]

Thanks for asking. What about you, Alexis?

[Alexis]

I don't think he cares.

[Brooke]

Yeah, sorry to confuse you, but you're on a radio show right now.

[Franklin]

Okay, all right.

[Victor]

About what?

[Jeffrey]

For what you said.

[Danielle Fischl]

You said about what?

[Victor]

Comedy.

[Troy Millings]

Good question.

[Brooke]

How do you feel about us setting you up on a hot date with a sexy woman that you've already been out with multiple times?

[Jeffrey]

Why did your voice get deeper and deeper?

[Brooke]

Because I wanted it to sound enticing.

[Victor]

All right, I'm interested to tell you

[Morning Show Host]

more

[Brooke]

because there is a woman who has gone through us to reach you and her name is Ari.

[Victor]

Oh, yeah, I remember her.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I hope so. You guys went on three dates together?

[Victor]

Yeah, we went a couple days together. We had a good time.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, okay, so this is sounding positive.

[Brooke]

We're trying to help Ari feel this out and get a vibe of where your relationship with her is at. Not that it's a relationship, but just she wants to see more of you and it hasn't happened and she's not sure why.

[Jeffrey]

It feels like the momentum has stopped a little bit.

[Victor]

Yeah, but I'm for my options. I mean, I'm new to the city, so I wanted to, you know, date a little bit, so I want to see who's in the city. But she's still, you know, in the fold.

[Jeffrey]

She's still in the fold.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Danielle Fischl]

And of course you're not going to tell her that, like, hey, sorry, I'm not hitting you up. I'm going on a lot of dates.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah, of course.

[Victor]

Of course not.

[Danielle Fischl]

I mean, you're.

[Brooke]

You're allowed to do. How many women are in the. Are in your fold?

[Victor]

I've been on maybe two other dates, probably.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's not too bad. Okay. That seems normal.

[Brooke]

So you're not completely cutting her out. It's just you're also opening yourself up to other possibilities.

[Victor]

Yeah, well, I guess for my options in the city.

[Danielle Fischl]

You're scouting the roster.

[Brooke]

Maybe it gives a little bit of clarity.

[Jeffrey]

It doesn't feel great to deliver that news to her.

[Brooke]

Yeah, because what we do have to deliver it.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, this is the awkward part.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Victor, the part that you might not know about this is that Ari is actually already on this phone call, listening, waiting to talk to you.

[Victor]

You make this phone call right now? Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's what I meant when I said this call.

[Victor]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

So, yeah, I'll just, like, assessing the damage right now.

[Brooke]

I think you're okay. Let's ask Ari. Are you there?

[Ari]

Yeah, I'm here. Hey, Victor.

[Victor]

Hey, Art. How you doing?

[Ari]

Oh, I'm doing great. But, yeah, like, I heard everything that you said.

[Victor]

Yeah, so, I mean, like I said, we went on a couple days, had a great time. I'm still new to the city, so I'm exploring my options, seeing what's out there.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you're gonna say it again?

[Ari]

Yeah, like you already said that. You keep saying it over and over. Nervous or something?

[Victor]

Yeah, I'm not nervous at all.

[Danielle Fischl]

Oh, you're nervous?

[Franklin]

No.

[Ari]

Okay, well, you should be. You should be nervous because I'm. I'm not with. None of that, like, I'm not part of your starting lineup, buddy. I don't know what you think you got going on here, but, like, we've been on three dates, so you should have, like, some type of idea, like, whether you want to take this farther or not. I don't care about you being new to a city. Like, I'm not one of your little flings. I don't move like that.

[Brooke]

I mean, how many dates does it take for you, Victor, to decide whether or not, like, it's the real deal with somebody?

[Victor]

I don't have to answer that. I mean, it takes the amount of time it takes me to fill a person out, so I really don't have to answer that.

[Brooke]

I'm trying to help Ari. She just feels like she's waiting forever.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I don't know about forever. I think she's just saying three days. You need to know.

[Ari]

Come in. The names of the girls you've been dating. Who are they? I might know them names.

[Alexis]

Nope, never do names. Never show instas either.

[Brooke]

Okay, maybe just addresses or something.

[Jeffrey]

What a welcome to our city, right?

[Brooke]

We're really nice here. I promise.

[Danielle Fischl]

We got a lot of people. People to date.

[Jeffrey]

The dating scene is totally cool.

[Ari]

Victor, you're not saying anything. What are the girl's names?

[Victor]

I don't need to tell you that information. That's my information. Like I said, I'm exploring out in the city. I had a great time with you, bro.

[Danielle Fischl]

You're saying it again. He's like reading the script at this point.

[Ari]

I feel like that's a BS excuse. I feel like that's a BS excuse.

[Jeffrey]

Do you think that he's just trying to cover, like maybe he just doesn't like you that much or something already? I don't mean it in a mean way.

[Danielle Fischl]

You may be trying to be nice.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Ari]

Yeah. Or maybe he just wanted a free meal that night because I paid, remember?

[Danielle Fischl]

I knew this was coming.

[Jeffrey]

Here we go.

[Ari]

Since you don't want to like, you don't really care, like going on the date or whatever, I'm fine with that. You need to go ahead and pay me a path for that dinner. So you need to go ahead and like Venmo me half of that bill. I have to receipt if you need me to text you a picture of it. And you could put it down the middle and send me your half.

[Victor]

Okay. I can say the same thing for you. I paid for the drinks for the first two days, so why don't you send me that money back too?

[Morning Show Host]

Drink.

[Victor]

And then.

[Morning Show Host]

I've seen 100 different things, honey drinks.

[Ari]

And a whole steak meal appetizer. You had a four course meal. Onion.

[Victor]

You had four lemon drops on the first date.

[Morning Show Host]

What are you talking about?

[Danielle Fischl]

4.

[Alexis]

Damn, that's a headache.

[Brooke]

And that's a classy drink too.

[Alexis]

No wonder it was a nice date.

[Jeffrey]

I appreciate that she's doing all the work for us, so.

[Brooke]

Sugar on the rim too.

[Danielle Fischl]

Do you see the point here? It's okay if you're asking, but not okay if he's asking.

[Ari]

Oh, no, it's definitely okay if I'm asking. He's a man. A real man. Wouldn't even have let me pay. You should have pulled out your credit card. Let's start there.

[Victor]

Oh, I mean, the reason why you pulled your credit card out is because I got there late. I was stuck in a little traffic getting there. But at the same time, I mean, I thought you were paying for dinner. Cuz I paid for the drinks on the first two dates, so it seemed

[Jeffrey]

like it was, but. But you didn't even say thank you afterwards.

[Victor]

I'm sure I said thank you afterwards. We had a little, you know, situation in the parking lot afterwards. I gave her a nice little kiss, said thank you and kept it moving.

[Danielle Fischl]

A kiss is a thank you, isn't it?

[Ari]

No. Depends how we got running. Me my money back would be a thank you.

[Commercial Disclaimer Voice]

Ok.

[Jeffrey]

I don't think she's going to drop it.

[Jeff]

She's pretty.

[Brooke]

She's pretty strict. She wants the money back. So do you want to give your Venmo out right now?

[Ari]

No.

[Danielle Fischl]

Do it all.

[Victor]

No, I'm not giving my Venmo.

[Brooke]

Are you sure? Okay. Well, I guess you do really well.

[Ari]

Guess what? This city isn't that big. I'll see you around, buddy.

[Morning Show Host]

Godfather.

[Danielle Fischl]

Godfather.

[Jeff]

We need you to make an offer.

[Danielle Fischl]

He was unprepared.

[Jeff]

Olive.

[Victor]

God, no.

[Jeffrey]

This is not.

[Alexis]

Sounded like the Godfather having a stroke.

[Jeffrey]

Jeff,

[Jeff]

we got all the breadsticks that you can put in your mouth if you're willing to go out one more time and that we on our tab.

[Alexis]

Victor.

[Jeffrey]

You want to go out again?

[Victor]

Ari, it was nice meeting you, but I'm never paying you that money back.

[Alexis]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Oh, God.

[Morning Show Host]

Okay, that's fine.

[Ari]

That's cool. I'm not gonna trip.

[Morning Show Host]

But. Hey, ladies.

[Ari]

Victor, don't date him.

[Morning Show Host]

Don't date him.

[Jeff]

Cause if you do, we're gonna have to break some kneecaps.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, too dark.

[Morning Show Host]

Find him.

[Jeffrey]

Go back to the bread.

[Brooke]

Maybe we'll see you two on small claims court on Judge Judy. All right, Good luck.

And maybe not as the place to discover small brands. Well, two things can be true at the same time. Because Walmart is home to thousands of small brands founded by people who had an idea, took a chance and built something of their own. Behind everyone is a real story and a lot of hard work. So why not take a little time to recognize all the people building small brands across the country and support everything they're creating? Walmart is proud to give those brands a place on its shelf. And online, it's never been easier to find and support small brands. So take a look at Walmart. You might come across something new, something unexpected, or a brand whose story speaks to you. You never know what you're missing until you look discover thousands of small [e-mail].

[Brooke]

you know, we never did get the names of those other women that he's dating. And now I'm really curious.

[Jeffrey]

You are? I don't think it matters.

[Jeff]

I think it does.

[Brooke]

Text in 78592. If you are currently dating Victor, we want to meet you and set you up for another second date update.

[Victor]

Okay.

[Danielle Fischl]

And first and last name please.

[Jeffrey]

I feel like with Victor's list, this is just gonna be Victor's update. Update.

[Brooke]

I do, I want to call him again. Do all Victor updates all next week. And he's like, ah, you guys again.

[Discover Card Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

He ends up single at the end is how I predict.

[Brooke]

Yeah, but it's fun for us. And make sure you go to Brooke and Jeffrey wherever you get your podcast. You can find all of our second dates there. And of course, thanks for listening.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, seriously.

[Morning Show Host]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,

[Brooke]

ladies, if your goal is to meet an attractive, high quality man who's also wildly successful, where do you go to find that?

[Ari]

Yeah,

[Jeffrey]

does it exist?

[Danielle Fischl]

I think you just sit there and they find you, bro.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's what it is.

[Brooke]

It's a dream. But one of our listeners says she discovered a place swarming with career driven, stable men and her very first visit got her a date. So she's willing to tell us where that secret spot is in exchange for our help getting him back on the phone.

[Alexis]

Oh, we gotta help her now, Jeff.

[Brooke]

So ladies, get ready to take notes. Fellas, get ready to go there and pretend to be successful. Cause it's all happening in your second date update. Next.

[Morning Show Host]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Brooke]

We've been talking about it a lot this summer. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. How people are moving away from the dating apps and trying to meet more in person now.

[Jeffrey]

Well, and like summertime such a time for it. You know, you're feeling good, everyone's a little bit tan. Yeah.

[Brooke]

But if you're a female, where do you go? Basically anywhere outside of your own house. I was confused. And even that's probably a reach, that there's a few guys who are probably living in your walls waiting for you to say, no, it's okay. You can come out now. I'm ready to be seduced.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Celine. Man, I've been wanting a date.

[Brooke]

Oh, finally.

[Danielle Fischl]

God.

[Brooke]

I've been in here for five months. But one of our listeners, Denise, says she decided a few months ago to switch up her strategy to get offline and hoping to meet a high profile man. So I'm very curious to hear where she ended up going to do that. And I think a lot of our female listeners are going to want to know, too. So, Denise, welcome to the show. And tell us, where'd you go to meet this guy?

[Morning Show Host]

Hey, so I met this guy at the golf course.

[Jeffrey]

That's smart. Do you like golf or is this like you are learning just for the dudes strategy?

[Morning Show Host]

You know, I'm just doing it just to meet the guys.

[Ari]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Danielle Fischl]

Hey, at least you're on is.

[Jeffrey]

And the worst thing that happens is you pick up a new hobby. Yeah.

[Brooke]

You get a little sunshine.

[Morning Show Host]

Exactly.

[Jeffrey]

All right.

[Brooke]

Okay. How did this even happen? How did you come with the idea to start going to the golf courses?

[Morning Show Host]

I was watching a video on Instagram, I believe, and one of the influencers said that businessmen and executives like to golf.

[Jeffrey]

Dude, I've been told as a woman, if you want to succeed in business, you need to learn how to play golf so that you don't miss out on those meetings that happen. Golf course.

[Brooke]

And did you tell whoever told you that I don't need to be told how to live my life as a woman. I'm an independent person and I can do what I want and hang out with who I want.

[Jeffrey]

No, I thought it was a good piece of advice.

[Brooke]

Oh, you liked that, Alexis, Like, I'll

[Danielle Fischl]

find him at any bar I want.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Danielle Fischl]

I don't have to go to the golf club.

[Brooke]

All right. So you saw the video and you decided I want that.

[Ari]

Yep.

[Morning Show Host]

I need a man who is very well paid, high class, he takes this career seriously.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so who did you find on the golf course?

[Morning Show Host]

Well, I actually met a guy named Franklin.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Ari]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Franklin sounds like a rich name.

[Danielle Fischl]

It kind of does.

[Brooke]

How did you meet him? Did he come up up and help you with your swing or what?

[Jeffrey]

I mean, it is a good, easy thing to do. I don't know how to play.

[Alexis]

Or hit him with a golf ball on accident.

[Jeffrey]

Alexis.

[Alexis]

Like a light hit.

[Danielle Fischl]

Yeah, sure. Whoops.

[Brooke]

How did it happen?

[Morning Show Host]

Funny enough, golf courses, you don't just have to play golf. They have awesome clubhouses and bars. And that's where I met him.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, that's better.

[Danielle Fischl]

Restaurant.

[Jeffrey]

Were you ever actually playing the game, or were you just hanging out at the bar?

[Morning Show Host]

I was on the putting green for at least an hour.

[Ari]

Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Jeffrey]

That's the free part, I think, that you don't have to pay for. I like it. That's smart. That's smart.

[Alexis]

And they don't. See if you bring your own cans on them.

[Discover Card Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Kalpen (Kal Penn)]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Tell us about how the interaction between you and Franklin went.

[Morning Show Host]

Well, over a couple of drinks, he told me that he owns a string of car washes.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, cool.

[Morning Show Host]

And I think that's pretty cool.

[Danielle Fischl]

Yeah, it is.

[Morning Show Host]

And he pretty much axed me out, so I must say, the golf course strategy works. Worked.

[Jeffrey]

Nice. I like it. Hole in one.

[Alexis]

I don't like it anymore. You don't like that?

[Jeffrey]

Okay, fine.

[Morning Show Host]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Eagle, bogey me.

[Jacob Goldstein]

All right, we.

[Victor]

We got it.

[Danielle Fischl]

We got it.

[Brooke]

We can do five minutes of golf puns, or we can learn more about what. Actually, yeah, let's. Let's learn more about what happened. So, after this, Denise, did you and Franklin go out on a date?

[Morning Show Host]

Yeah. Well, he took me to a really nice restaurant.

[Jeffrey]

Nice.

[Morning Show Host]

The date was great. The vibes were super awesome. And I've been thinking why I haven't heard from him since. And I think the one thing that may have turned him off, because, you know, I'm sort of specific on how I eat, I like to bring my own silverware.

[Jeffrey]

Interesting.

[Alexis]

To.

[Brooke]

To the restaurant?

[Morning Show Host]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Why?

[Danielle Fischl]

Okay, hold on. Like, chopsticks? Cause I can see that. I know people that bring chopsticks with them, like, if they want it.

[Morning Show Host]

No, like my fork. You know, my kn.

[Jeffrey]

Why do you do that?

[Morning Show Host]

Sometimes you can see that it's not washed properly, and people are putting the silverware in their mouth.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. It's a sanitary thing for you.

[Danielle Fischl]

I could see that.

[Morning Show Host]

For me, I'd rather be safe than sorry. So I just bring my own silverware.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. So at a nice restaurant, you pull out silverware from your purse.

[Morning Show Host]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Which is obviously a clean place to keep it, so that's good.

[Morning Show Host]

Well, I protect my silverware. I wrap it up really nice. I put it in a container.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, so what was his reaction when you did this?

[Morning Show Host]

It wasn't all that great, but after I explained myself, it seemed like he was okay with it.

[Ari]

Okay?

[Brooke]

Yeah, kind of like us.

[Danielle Fischl]

Like, we were, like, weird. And then you explained it, and I was like, okay, I guess.

[Jeffrey]

You got a thing.

[Brooke]

Did you bring a fork and a knife for Franklin to use, or was it just for you? Because that could be seen as kind of selfish.

[Morning Show Host]

It was just myself. I didn't want to peep him out too much.

[Brooke]

Yeah, so it sounds like Franklin was able to understand why you do it and you were able to move past it. How did the rest of the date go?

[Morning Show Host]

It went pretty well. I mean, at the end, I thanked them for the date, we hugged, and we said, we'll talk to each other soon.

[Jeffrey]

Dude, it's so funny. I imagine you wrapping up your utensils as. As you're doing your pleasantry.

[Danielle Fischl]

All right, I gotta take these home.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, honestly, to the wait staff, it probably looks like you're stealing.

[Morning Show Host]

Yeah, you know, I didn't even think of that.

[Discover Card Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay, well, that could be something that's happening, but clearly he's not calling you back. And I'm sure he's gonna be thrilled when he learns that a radio station is reaching out to him, trying to get in contact. People love that.

[Jeffrey]

Especially high class people.

[Morning Show Host]

Yeah, I'm not ready to let him go yet.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I think you're good. Do whatever it takes.

[Morning Show Host]

Or if it doesn't work with you guys, I'm just gonna have to go back to the golf course.

[Victor]

Okay.

[Brooke]

And Alexis might wanna go with you, so.

[Alexis]

No, I wanna hit everyone of his car washes till we find him.

[Ari]

That's another strategy, too.

[Brooke]

Middle one.

[Danielle Fischl]

Yeah, I like it.

[Brooke]

We'll get some stuff done when we call him. And get your second date update right after this.

[Morning Show Host]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Brooke]

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And right after part one ended, we got reports that thousands of single women have been flocking to the local golf courses, attempting to meet high profile men. All right, that was the strategy our listener Denise used. She heard a lot of businessmen and executives go there to hang out. It's a good place to meet guys. And that's where she met the car wash king, a guy named Franklin. They hit it off, went out to dinner. The weird part of dinner was she brought her own silverware to the restaurant.

[Alexis]

Yeah, but she knows it's weird.

[Jeffrey]

She acknowledged that. And it's still high class because it's not a plastic fork and knife like I would have pulled for my purse.

[Danielle Fischl]

And she has a decent excuse.

[Brooke]

Yes, it's a cleanliness thing for her. She explained it to Franklin. And even though he seemed cool about it, he still may have thought this is a little bit too much of a high maintenance situation. And that could be the reason he's not calling her back.

[Jeffrey]

Which is silly because it's not like you asked him to bring the silverware for you. That would be the high maintenance part, right?

[Danielle Fischl]

Good point.

[Ari]

Exactly.

[Brooke]

Okay, any last thoughts before we give Franklin a call here? Denise?

[Victor]

Nope.

[Morning Show Host]

I'm ready when you're ready.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you sound real positive about this.

[Danielle Fischl]

All right, let's go around the room. Who's ready? I'm ready.

[Brooke]

We're all ready.

[Ari]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

She's confident because she knows she can just go back to the golf course.

[Alexis]

Yeah, there's plenty to pick from.

[Danielle Fischl]

She actually likes this guy.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's true.

[Brooke]

Yeah, so let's just dial Franklin. Here we go. I'm calling him right now.

[Franklin]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Hey, is this Franklin?

[Franklin]

Yes, it is. How can I help you?

[Brooke]

Hey, thanks for answering. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Franklin.

[Danielle Fischl]

Good morning, Franklin. Are you busy right now?

[Franklin]

A little bit. How'd you get my number?

[Brooke]

We actually got it from one of our listeners who asked us to reach out to you. It's kind of the point of this segment. We're trying to see if we can get the two of you back together. A girl named Denise.

[Franklin]

What is this all about?

[Brooke]

This is a segment that we do. It's called the Second Date Update. And Denise reached out to us. She told us to get a hold of you because she isn't sure why the two of you are. You aren't hanging out again a second time.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it sounds like you had a great date.

[Ari]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Are you laughing?

[Franklin]

What does she tell you, huh?

[Brooke]

Okay, you just want to get right down to business. But that makes sense about you. We heard you're a business guy.

[Danielle Fischl]

True.

[Franklin]

I am. Time is money.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay, so this guy with cliches.

[Brooke]

We won't keep you too long then. But the gist of what we heard is that you two met at a golf course. You ended up going out to dinner a few days later.

[Jeffrey]

It sounds like you took her to a really nice spot, which she loved.

[Franklin]

It's funny. She told you all this.

[Brooke]

Yeah, well, we're just trying to figure out, like, the idea, the general vibe of the date. And she did mention a weird thing that happened that maybe could have freaked you out a little bit. Where she brought her own silverware to the restaurant?

[Victor]

Yes.

[Franklin]

That was unusual.

[Jeffrey]

What did you think when she pulled it out of her purse?

[Franklin]

I didn't really know what to say when that happened.

[Danielle Fischl]

Hopefully she didn't pull the knife out first, because that would be weird. Like, what did I do?

[Jeffrey]

We're at a steakhouse, Right.

[Franklin]

She did take out a fork first, and I said something along. I don't remember exactly what I said because I was so, like, surprised.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I mean, if I was in your same situation, I wouldn't know what to say either.

[Franklin]

Honestly explained it and I. It did make a certain kind of sense. I mean, on a certain level, I'm a neat freak as well, so I kind of get it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, Well, I mean, it is funny that she doesn't care about the plate or the glass or anything, but. Yeah, but I get it.

[Brooke]

She was worried that maybe. Maybe that was the reason that you're not calling her for a second hangout. Is that true?

[Franklin]

Here's the thing. I just don't know if it's a

[Jeffrey]

good match because of the silverware.

[Franklin]

She came across as. The silverware is one thing, but she did come across as, like. I guess the term I'm looking for is a little high maintenance, I guess.

[Danielle Fischl]

Oh, that's different.

[Brooke]

What made you say, like, she's high maintenance? What specifically stuck out to you?

[Franklin]

The thing that really stuck out was she ordered pot stickers, I guess, for the appetizer. When they arrived to the table, she asked the waiter if the pot stickers were made from land meat.

[Jeffrey]

Land meat, huh? What does that mean?

[Danielle Fischl]

That's a weird way to put it.

[Franklin]

Land meat, like seafood.

[Danielle Fischl]

Land food.

[Jeffrey]

That doesn't sound high maintenance. That just is a weird question.

[Franklin]

Explained to me that a land meat is meat from an animal that has never touched water.

[Victor]

Water.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Discover Card Advertiser]

Oh.

[Franklin]

Which was confusing to me because she didn't elaborate. So I'm thinking, like, does that mean it's not fish? Or is this specifically something where the animal has never. Like, it's a pig that's only been in the slop. Is it a chicken that's never been bathed?

[Ari]

You know, like, I did never been in a pond.

[Kalpen (Kal Penn)]

A duck.

[Franklin]

And then she seemed a little frustrated with the way in her. Because he didn't know. I guess he didn't know the answer to her question. I don't think. To be fair, I don't think he understood the question.

[Alexis]

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense.

[Brooke]

Truthfully. I don't think I understand. So the only way to clear this up is by actually talking to Denise about it. And that's gonna be really easy because she's on the other line already.

[Franklin]

What do you mean she's here?

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's how this segment works, is we have the other person waiting to jump in and talk to you.

[Danielle Fischl]

Yeah.

[Franklin]

Okay. That's a little surprising, but sorry.

[Brooke]

So, Denise, are you there?

[Morning Show Host]

Yes, I am here.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Troy Millings]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Say hi to Franklin.

[Morning Show Host]

Hi, Franklin. I thought we had something. I thought we could have something together. The date went so well.

[Franklin]

Yeah, no, I liked it. It was great chemistry. But it's been eight days, and I still don't really. I'm not sure what land meat is.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I think we all want to know. Could you clear it up?

[Morning Show Host]

Okay, so I know it doesn't make any sense to you guys, but it makes sense to me. And that's okay because, listen, the second you bite into sea meat.

[Ari]

Sea meat.

[Morning Show Host]

Something is off.

[Danielle Fischl]

Sea meat. So funny.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, that's the same as seafood, right? That's fine. You call seafood sea meat?

[Morning Show Host]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're not getting it.

[Brooke]

Okay? Seafood and sea meat are different. Brooke.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, explain.

[Morning Show Host]

So for land meat, that is any animal that's not touching water. So like, any cow that's near a

[Brooke]

lake, that's a no?

[Morning Show Host]

That's a definite no. Any chicken near a river, you're in a dry area.

[Jeffrey]

Cow.

[Danielle Fischl]

She needs a middle American cow. A Nebraska.

[Brooke]

Like. Like a piece of beef jerky, totally dry would be her absolute ideal meal.

[Jeffrey]

Why does that matter to you? Why does it matter if the cow lives by a body of water or not?

[Morning Show Host]

Because you can taste the difference in the meat.

[Danielle Fischl]

It's like a hell thing. It's another thing.

[Alexis]

I would think the cows live by a river, are happier.

[Jeffrey]

Cows, right?

[Danielle Fischl]

Is that more water?

[Brooke]

Not according to Denise.

[Morning Show Host]

Listen, those are. Are death cows.

[Jeffrey]

There is no science to back up what you were saying.

[Morning Show Host]

I can't tell you about the science. I can just tell you what I taste, and it's completely different. Taste, honesty.

[Danielle Fischl]

Right there.

[Jeffrey]

You're like, this is a fishy steak.

[Morning Show Host]

Okay, Franklin, you calling me high maintenance just because of that is just so ridiculous.

[Brooke]

Yeah, Franklin.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, I would call it quirky, not.

[Brooke]

Franklin, you may have crossed a line there.

[Franklin]

So I really don't see the point in apologizing for not understanding.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, okay. Do you still feel that way after hearing her explanation of land meat?

[Franklin]

To be honest with you, I'm more confused than ever before. And so many questions. I mean, if a lamb can't Take a bath. What does that even mean?

[Danielle Fischl]

That's a stinky lamb.

[Jeffrey]

What does it mean, Denise?

[Morning Show Host]

It means that it's sea meat, but it's not.

[Alexis]

It's confusing.

[Brooke]

If it's come into contact with water, it is. Is officially a sea animal.

[Danielle Fischl]

I'm going to order the sea lamb next time I go to a steakhouse.

[Jeffrey]

I'm telling you, there is no way for you to know this information about the meat.

[Morning Show Host]

Exactly. I shouldn't know because it's a restaurant's responsibility.

[Brooke]

That is a good. That's a good point. Actually.

[Morning Show Host]

They prepare the food. They must know if it's sea meat or land meat.

[Danielle Fischl]

They do.

[Brooke]

They should have bios next to every piece of meat that you order so that you can understand what you're putting into your body.

[Franklin]

Yeah, I think now you guys can see why I think Denise is high maintenance.

[Morning Show Host]

It is not high maintenance. It's high knowledge. Okay? It's high knowledge of knowing what I'm putting in my body. And quite frankly, Franklin, you should do the same.

[Jeffrey]

Okay?

[Brooke]

Yes. Especially with how much time he spends around water. With all those car washes. You need to be careful.

[Danielle Fischl]

And on the golf course, the water hazards.

[Brooke]

You're basically sea meat at this point, Franklin. So actually, I don't even know if Denise would want to hang out with you a second time.

[Morning Show Host]

It sounds like he's not that interested in me, so I'll just exit first.

[Brooke]

Missed your chance, Franklin. I'm sorry. Not even gonna offer you a second.

[Franklin]

I'm going to try to find a meat eating cow for lunch.

[Brooke]

That's just cannibalism. That's weird.

[Kalpen (Kal Penn)]

That's not.

[Brooke]

What are you doing?

[Jeffrey]

I don't know. I think chickens are kind of into it.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Franklin]

At least I got a chuckle out of this, I guess. And I dodged a bullet because.

[Danielle Fischl]

Yeah, and you're probably gonna be on the radio.

[Brooke]

Bullet.

[Morning Show Host]

Stop talking. Why are you still talking?

[Brooke]

Let's just hang up on this guy.

[Franklin]

To be honest, I am a little dehydrated.

[Ari]

I may need some more.

[Morning Show Host]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

and

[Brooke]

do you ever feel like maybe we're going to be on the wrong side of history for this one?

[Jeffrey]

Land meat.

[Brooke]

Yeah. For a long time people laughed and scoffed at the idea of glutenfree bread or vegan bone broth or mushroom laced coffee. Now look at it.

[Jeffrey]

Vegan bone broth.

[Franklin]

Yeah, that's a thing.

[Brooke]

I bet in a few years, Land Me meat and sea meat are going to be common terms popping up on restaurant menus all over the country.

We're gonna be so confused. Gonna be like, can I get an ice water? No ice, no water. Thank you.
