Overview

This “Second Date Update Classics” episode features two memorable stories from the “Brooke and Jeffrey” archives. In each, someone reaches out after being ghosted post-date, and the hosts intervene by calling the elusive dater to uncover the real reason behind the silence. True to form, the episode brims with humor, relatable dating mishaps, and plenty of playful roasting among the hosts. The key stories explored are “Pink Doesn’t Stink”—about a pink shirt’s surprising power—and “Unconventional Beauty and the Feast”—where a simple photo (or lack thereof) snowballs into romantic confusion.

Second Date Update #1: Pink Doesn’t Stink (Mark & Tamara)

• “Just shut your mouth.” – Brooke, exasperated by Mark’s digging [19:19]

---

Second Date Update #2: Unconventional Beauty and the Feast (Paul & Stacy)

Main Theme

Paul meets Stacy—someone he describes as captivatingly “unconventional”—at a party. Their quirky chemistry is tested by a single bad joke, and, unexpectedly, by Paul’s failure to play photographer.

---

Key Discussion Points & Flow

The Meeting [26:06]

• Paul meets Stacy at a mutual friend’s birthday.
• He finds her “striking” but stresses she’s “not conventional beauty,” to which the hosts respond with gentle roasting.

The Call with Stacy [33:05]

• Stacy answers but is instantly negative about Paul.
• Her gripe isn’t about the check joke, but that he didn’t take any photos of her during their date.
  • “He didn’t take any pictures of me at all during our date, and I look freaking incredible.” – Stacy [34:51]
  • She’s affronted he never memorialized her beauty, even though she tried to “give him hints.”
  • “Words mean nothing without the actions to back it up.” – Stacy [37:02]

Paul’s Defense [36:50]

• He explains he wanted to focus on “being present and connecting.”
• Stacy is unsympathetic: “You were just thinking of yourself.” [37:21]

The Solution? A Photo-filled Trip! [38:39]

• When offered a free second date (the show’s traditional offer), Stacy escalates: she wants a trip, in which she flies first class and Paul rides in coach—so he can take photos of her.
  • “He can sit in coach, okay, and take pics of me on the plane.” – Stacy [39:22]
• Paul reluctantly agrees, seeing no real alternative if he wants another chance.

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “Normally, I take a lot more [than 5 selfies].” – Stacy [37:55]
• “He needs to remember he’s going to be punished for a few weeks before he’s allowed to sit next to you.” – Jeffrey [40:23]

• “The most unconventional, beautiful romance in all of history.” – Jeffrey [40:41]
• “It will when you check your bank account later.” – Brooke (about Paul’s face after the first-class trip plan) [40:48]

---

Hosts' Commentary & Humor

• The hosts maintain their usual blend of sarcasm, playful teasing, and comic exaggeration throughout.
• Frequent interruptions and “roasts” (especially of the men) keep the tone light and self-aware.
• Brooke, Jeffrey, Alexis, and various listeners riff off the daters’ decisions, calling out “red flags” and odd demands.
  • “Just say, ‘Beautiful family.’ That’s it!” – Brooke [15:56]
  • “This is very, very reasonable woman on the phone…” – Jeffrey, dripping with irony, about Stacy [39:31]
• The “love experts” react to each twist with increasing disbelief—especially over Stacy’s demand for airplane selfies and Mark's sister fixation.

Summary & Takeaways

• Lesson 1: Sometimes, a pink shirt does get you noticed…but don’t let your gaze linger on the wrong family member.
• Lesson 2: A little fashion appreciation is good, but true “connection” may require a smartphone and a well-timed IG pic—at least for some.
• Lesson 3: Transparency is good, but “too much information” can be disastrous in romance.
• Lesson 4: Playful banter and self-deprecating humor from the hosts keep the show relatable and fun—even as the daters flounder.

---

Final Thoughts From the Hosts

• Jeffrey jokes about unconventional relationships and outrageous dating demands, Brooke doubles down on her “red flags” warnings, and Alexis brings the fresh single’s perspective.
• The episode underlines that, while most “second date” attempts don’t end well, the journey is always entertaining—especially when hosts and listeners can chime in and laugh (or cringe) at the missteps.

---

If you dare to risk a second date—or just want to hear more awkward love stories—Brooke and Jeffrey are ready for your call!

[Brooke]

Back to Back Classics for you. It's Brooke and Jeffrey. Thanks so much for being part of our podcast. We really appreciate it and if you can subscribe. Yep. You'd really blow us out of the water.

[Alexis]

Yeah, it goes a long way.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

It really does.

[Brooke]

So thank you again. And before we get to your Back to Back Classics episode that happens every Saturday, let's read some comments, huh? Yeah. Hey, Hannah in Montana said not. Not Hannah Montana. Unfortunately, I followed, but close second. I've been trying to get my son to take a nap for hours and I finally put on your podcast and he fell asleep within the first minute. Oh my God. All jokes aside, he's a year and a half old and we listen to your shows together every day of his life. So I guess you guys are the strangest lullaby now. I don't know.

[Alexis]

I wonder what segment was playing the

[Brooke]

first minute of the show.

[Alexis]

So, shot caller, question of the day.

[Brooke]

I don't even think they finished this intro right now.

[Alexis]

There it is.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Hey, thank here in whatever way you listen. It's your back to back classics.

[Alexis]

Good morning or good night.

[Brooke]

Yeah, right now.

[Jeffrey]

You know, there's a lot of talk about Riz right now.

[Brooke]

Oh yes.

[Jeffrey]

Like, oh, Producer Boyd's rizzing baddies again.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Look out.

[Brooke]

Producer does that. I think he does. Yeah, somebody does.

[Alexis]

He's Using it in the wrong context.

[Jeffrey]

We tend to think Riz is all about saying the smooth line and acting confident. It is, but we have proof. It's actually way easier than that.

[Brooke]

Oh, easier gonna hack Riz right now? Is that what we're gonna do?

[Jeffrey]

One of our listeners had women literally flocking to him all night because of one subtle change that he made to his wardrobe.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Made him an instant Rizzler. You're gonna find out in a second date update.

[Brooke]

Next, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

You know those axe body spray commercials where some lanky guy sprays a little bit of axe on his shirt, and then immediately, thousands of gorgeous women start flocking to him from miles around?

[Brooke]

You mean the axe documentaries that you watch? Documentary?

[Jeffrey]

Well, yeah, I tried that.

[Alexis]

Oh, yeah, me too, bro. I had a chocolate one.

[Jeffrey]

Didn't get any hot models running up, but a few sick cats did come by and cough hairballs onto my doorstep, so that's something.

[Brooke]

Okay, maybe they were cute. Yeah, Alexa still likes it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but apparently there is a trick that men can do to make random women want to come up and approach you out in public.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Free drinks.

[Brooke]

No, you don't want to talk to him. You just want the free drink.

[Jeffrey]

One of our listeners tried it out. His name is Mark. So let's talk to him about it. Mark, welcome to the show.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Hey, there. Thank you for having me.

[Brooke]

Oh, hey. You got quite the voice, Mark. What's going on, man?

[Alexis]

Oh, is that your trick, Mark?

[Jeffrey]

You just talk?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Yeah, no, no. There's a little bit more to it than that.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

I don't want to take all the credit for this one, but I was let in on a little secret, and believe it or not, it actually work in my experience.

[Brooke]

Okay, so even you were skeptical before you did it?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

I was. I didn't think it was going to be that easy.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow.

[Jeffrey]

It's easy now. Well, we have to know what this is. Can you tell us about it?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

A friend of mine, a female coworker, she was giving me some advice, and she said the secret to get them to approach you is to just wear a pink shirt.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Oh.

[Brooke]

I could see this little bit of

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

flare, and apparently, it's just enough of a warmth color that it gives off approachability. I don't know what it is.

[Brooke]

Yeah, immediately say secure, masculine guy.

[Alexis]

And it's funny, every time I wear a pink shirt, I always get that compliment.

[Jeffrey]

Your mom doesn't count as somebody that should be taking credit for Alexis. Would this work for you? Is if you saw a guy in pink. Would you be wanting to talk to him?

[Brooke]

I mean, even if I don't want to talk to him in, like, a flirty way, I could see myself drunkenly walking by being like, hey, I like your outfit.

[Jeffrey]

You want to steal his clothes off of him?

[Brooke]

That's a sweatshirt I'm going to take later.

[Jeffrey]

So, Mark, this is something that you actually tried?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Well, first off, I realized I didn't own anything pink, so I had to go shoot.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, of course you did.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

And it's a flattering color.

[Jeffrey]

So how did this work when you were, like, trying to meet women?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

So I went to the bar with a couple of my friends. Just regular night, nothing crazy. And I wasn't saying anything to anybody. Me and my guy friends were just talking, and these girls just walking by, and they're like, oh, wow, a nice shirt.

[Alexis]

No way.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

And they're ignoring all my friends. And my friends, they were looking at me like I was a jerk.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

I'm a little bit surprised that it was this effective the first time that you tried it, but that's cool. You're wanting us to call one woman in particular, right? Not every woman that you met that night.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

No, no. Definitely not all of them.

[Brooke]

Is the woman we're calling someone who approached you?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

She is. Her name's Tamara.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Tamara.

[Jeffrey]

Tamara.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

We were both waiting on line to the unisex bathroom, and of course, she saw my shirt.

[Alexis]

Dude, Tamara. What's up?

[Brooke]

I love it.

[Jeffrey]

What did she say? She just said she liked it.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

She was just like, wow, that's a really nice shirt. You wear it well. Not. You know, she just called me out on it, like, as if she was surprised I was even okay with wearing a shirt like most guys would never.

[Brooke]

And that is the reaction.

[Alexis]

Like, what Brooke is saying, it's always

[Brooke]

like, oh, my gosh.

[Alexis]

Is that.

[Jeffrey]

And how do you reply to that?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Well, at this point, I had heard it so many times in the night, I was like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna let her in on a little secret. And I said, to be honest, I'm actually wearing this shirt to meet women.

[Brooke]

What was her response? Why would you say that?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

I don't know.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

I wasn't trying to sabotage myself. I thought I was trying to be honest and transparent. Women do, like, actually laughed.

[Brooke]

Oh, she laughed.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Hopefully she thought it was a joke. Maybe.

[Alexis]

I'm shocked she laughed. That's kind of like you're basically saying

[Brooke]

she fell for your trap. Literally.

[Alexis]

That's, like, deterring people.

[Jeffrey]

Well, she's not. She's probably not as uptight and skeptical as you guys are. So this is one of those kind women you meet out in the world.

[Brooke]

You know, us. So wait, did you turn that into a hangout?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

So, yeah, later on in the night, she ended up finding me again.

[Brooke]

Oh, and she's a little drunker. A little more bold.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Exactly. We both had a little bit more influence going on at this point, and we found a spot where we sit down by ourselves and actually talk. Not have to shout over everybody.

[Brooke]

That's cool.

[Jeffrey]

Well, it's nice to have an intimate sit down. How did that go?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

It was great. We got to know each other. We talked about travel. We talked about our families. We even got to our childhood. Oh, really? Got what into our childhood?

[Brooke]

Wow. You guys had to talk.

[Jeffrey]

Full therapy session.

[Alexis]

How drunk were you?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

I don't know if it was the color, if it was the pink bringing it out in me, but I just felt very sensitive.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's good.

[Alexis]

But how drunk were you? Was it like. Yeah, fourth grade. I got in trouble.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Yeah, it could have been that too. I won't lie.

[Brooke]

I like the honesty.

[Alexis]

You guys had fun though, obviously.

[Jeffrey]

So after you got done crying in each other's arms, then how did you leave?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Yeah, well, eventually she had to go. I found my friends. And then she hasn't really been replying my texts. You know, we exchanged numbers and stuff, and I didn't know what to do, so I asked my co worker, the female who gave me the advice in the first place.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

And she was like, you know, just send her a question mark. Like the symbol.

[Alexis]

Yeah, that's actually not the worst. It's kind of passive aggressive.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

I feel like I need more. Yeah, like, it does feel passive.

[Jeffrey]

You're a married woman, Brooke. You're not allowed to be a part of. You shouldn't be asking for more from.

[Brooke]

It just feels angry. A little bit, maybe. Question mark.

[Alexis]

You know, thumbs up for?

[Brooke]

Totally.

[Jeffrey]

Did it work? Did she respond?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

All she did was put a thumbs up.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Oh.

[Brooke]

To your question mark.

[Jeffrey]

Yikes.

[Alexis]

Actually, that's really bad.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, that's not a good sign. Well, we need to get to the bottom of this. We're gonna call Tamara and try and get you a pink themed edition of a second date update when we do it right after this.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

Today we learned about the seductive magic of the pink shirt.

[Brooke]

God. So powerful.

[Jeffrey]

It's a man's secret weapon to get random women to approach you out in public. And Say flirty things to you, like, huh. Nice shirt.

[Brooke]

Yeah,

[Jeffrey]

I know. Turned up the heat with that one. And it worked for our listener Mark. Not just on Brooke and her low standards, but on actual women out in the real world. It's amazing.

[Brooke]

The first part of that, the second

[Jeffrey]

part, that's how he met a woman named Tamara at a bar. They ended up hanging out the entire night after that.

[Brooke]

Oh, it's so cute.

[Jeffrey]

But following their bar meetup, she's been almost completely avoiding his texts other than the question mark that he sent to her, and she just liked it.

[Brooke]

Is that the only communication? Is that the only text you sent to her?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Yes, it is.

[Brooke]

Oh, God. What?

[Alexis]

Mark, are you willing to wear pink every day for the rest of your life? If this works.

[Brooke]

He needs a text in pink at this point. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Can you change the bubble to a pink bubble? It's a big thing.

[Brooke]

People really want it someday, hopefully.

[Jeffrey]

That's why he's turned to us for some radio help. So we're going to do our best here. I'm about to dial Tamara.

[Brooke]

If our low bar is just a question mark, I think we've got this.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

You know, you never know with us, though, right? So here we go. I'm dialing your number right now.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hi, is this Tamara?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah, this is. Who's this?

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

Hey, Tamara, you're on the show with us.

[Alexis]

Good morning.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Hi. Thanks.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Good morning.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry to surprise you like this, but we're doing a segment called A Second Date Update, and one of our listeners asked us to reach out to you.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Okay. Okay. Who was it?

[Brooke]

I love that. It's like. Yes. And then it just dawned on me, what you just said.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that was good. Maybe you don't realize what you're getting yourself into here, but a guy named Mark met you the other night out at the bar.

[Brooke]

Mark?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Yeah.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

What. What did he tell you?

[Alexis]

Hey, she doesn't sound mad or anything.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, so far, good reaction. He told us a little bit about your guys's night, that you complimented him on his nice pink shirt. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to stop is. Are you in a construction zone or are you in a stairwell?

[Alexis]

Are you building a staircase?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

There actually is contractors working underneath me in the apartment. I think they're scraping the popcorn ceilings underneath me.

[Brooke]

That's good. Nobody wants those anymore.

[Alexis]

I mean, renovations.

[Brooke]

We're not hgtv, but now it's been

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

days of this noise.

[Brooke]

Yeah, no, you're Good.

[Jeffrey]

I assumed that you had met somebody else that night and brought him home and locked him in a room, and now he's trying to escape. So this is better.

[Brooke]

I think Mark would still be open for that. He might not be jealous that he wasn't the guy locked in the room,

[Jeffrey]

because the whole reason we're calling is Mark told us he felt like he had a connection with you.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Is that all that he told you?

[Brooke]

Yeah. I mean, he said that you guys talked about a lot of stuff. Like, he talked about your childhood and travel and.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah. Did he tell you about our discussion about families?

[Alexis]

He said childhood.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, he said you guys talked about family stuff, but not. He didn't get into detail.

[Brooke]

But the way you're saying it right now, it sounds like something bad. Yeah.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah. Well, Mark, he definitely tried to get into detail. So we were talking about families, and he asked to see a photo of my family. So I pulled one up from Christmas when we were all together, and it got really weird. And actually, honestly, it got really rude. He, like, honed in on my sister. From the picture. Yeah. And was, like. His immediate reaction was, wow, your sister is so gorgeous.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Which, I mean, would have been. Would have been. Okay. But then he kept going, oh, yeah.

[Alexis]

Like, maybe, if anything, you compliment her mother.

[Brooke]

You just say, beautiful family. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm telling you, that's not a look.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

No, he was asking a ton of questions. Like, he wanted to know how old she was, where she lived, trying to get a date. Are you gonna try to find her on Instagram? Why are you asking so many questions about my sister?

[Alexis]

Well, all right.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we didn't hear any of that stuff from him. I.

[Brooke]

But he did want to call you and not your sister.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah, like, phone number. Otherwise, he probably would have died.

[Jeffrey]

Alexis, we're trying to help here, remember? And I. I need to tell you at this point that Mark is on the other line listening to this call.

[Brooke]

I think he.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Oh, great.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he wants to talk to you.

[Alexis]

I think you're right.

[Jeffrey]

Unless your sister is there right now, in which case, put her on.

[Alexis]

She's the one.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Hi.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

I mean, Mark. You had to have read my reaction when you kept asking about my sister. Like, I. I pretty much stopped talking to you all together once. You wouldn't leave it alone.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

I think you seriously misconstrued everything I was saying. Oh, no. Really?

[Alexis]

Explain.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

I don't think. I don't think so.

[Jeffrey]

What, did she misunderstand? Mark?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

If you'd seen her and her family. It's like when you go buy a picture frame and there's like a stock photo in there. I mean, she's her mom. She's knockout for like. You would never think she was a mom, that's for sure.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Okay, now you're talking about my mom too. And now it's my sister and my mom. What do you want to date the whole family?

[Alexis]

Ok. Brothers.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Move on to a male figure in the family, please.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Okay, well, that's easy too. Both the dad and her older brother. Or I don't know if he was older or not, but he looked like he kicked my butt. So you're just.

[Brooke]

Overall, you were impressed by her family and it just came off.

[Jeffrey]

Wrong jeans.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

That's the word I should have used, but I was drunk. I don't know.

[Alexis]

That's true.

[Jeffrey]

Tamara said that she had a problem with you complimenting the physical attractiveness of her sister.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah. And it wasn't. You weren't going on and on about my whole family. It was specifically just my sister for several minutes.

[Jeffrey]

What would Tamara be something that he should have said that would have come off as a better reaction, seeing the photo.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Honestly, anything else but you could have said, oh my gosh, your family is so good looking. No wonder you're so beautiful. Like you could have given me a compliment out of that.

[Brooke]

Do you hear that, Mark? Does that click for you?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Totally. Sorry, I. It's clicking for me now. I was just in the moment. I was star struck by your sister. Like she's. She's beautiful.

[Brooke]

Don't finish.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

No, there he goes again. Now he's. He's on it again. This is insane.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Okay, but trying to be honest here and tell you what was going on in the moment and you never even told me. Is she older or younger than you too? Like, I have been thinking about that.

[Alexis]

What are you doing?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

You've been thinking about it. You've been. Okay, so you've been trying to text me, but honestly, not really a question mark isn't really trying to text me. That's like the bare minimum. But you've been thinking about my sister and her age since then. This is creepy.

[Jeffrey]

He's just trying to get to know your family. I'm sure.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Well, I'm trying to avoid being creepy because I want to make sure she's not like super young or something.

[Brooke]

What are you doing? Just shut your mouth.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

You don't need to make sure of that because you're never going to meet her.

[Alexis]

That leads Jeff to his next question.

[Brooke]

Well, that's because she's not invited on their next date.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, Mark, you need to just be quiet. Let me try and help you here for a second, if I can.

[Brooke]

I don't think you can, Tamara.

[Jeffrey]

As a guy, it's difficult to be in a situation where you're meeting somebody new and they show you a picture of a gorgeous woman and it happens to be your sister.

[Brooke]

Like that. Hard.

[Alexis]

It's a trap.

[Jeffrey]

It's a trap. It's hard to know the right thing when you're drinking. That is the right compliment to give.

[Brooke]

Say the right thing when he was sober on the phone. Jeff, you can't use alcohol as an excuse.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sure that he's pounding alcohol right now. He's totally nervous and flustered because the truth is to mare the reason why he reached out to us is because he likes you that much that he's willing to do whatever it takes to see you again.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

No, I. I think at this point, I don't trust that. He just wants to get to my sister through me, so there's no way that that's happening.

[Jeffrey]

If you don't trust what I say, let Mark tell you. Mark, this is your chance.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Do I bluff? Do I fold? I don't even know, man.

[Jeffrey]

Mark, are you texting the girl that told you to wear that pink shirt for advice on what to say here?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

I don't think she would help. She'd probably dig this hole deeper for me.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

No, you've dug it deep enough on your own.

[Brooke]

It is. It is, honestly, like, one big pink grave, to be honest.

[Alexis]

Is there another col can fix this? Like a yellow.

[Jeffrey]

It feels like the moment has come and gone, so.

[Brooke]

It was a valiant effort. Jeffrey.

[Jeffrey]

Tamara, we were going to offer to send you out on a date, but it sounds like it's a no.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah, I think. Okay.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

All right. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

So in that case, are you cool if you just give him your sister's Instagram now so we could just cut to it?

[Brooke]

You know he's already found it.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah, I'd be shocked if he had not found her at this point.

[Jeffrey]

Well, good. I'm glad you shipped them. Congratulations.

[Alexis]

Tell me your birthday.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Bowen Yang]

[Sophia Bush]

This is Sophia Bush from work in progress with Sophia Bush. Bring the good with avocados from Mexico. Upgrade your meals, your get togethers, even your everyday life. Give your moments a little glow up. Be the one everyone's glad showed up. Because avocados from Mexico spark the joy with every bite. And by the way, they're good for you too. So elevate your everyday. Bring the good flavor. So rich and craveable.

[Jeffrey]

Avocados from Mexico, always good. If we ever get an update, update email from Mark saying, hey, I found her sister and it worked out way better. Do I reply to that email, Brooke, or pretend like I didn't see it?

[Brooke]

No, you reply because you love it. Apparently, you don't know what to do if someone shows you a hot woman.

[Jeffrey]

I said, if you're drinking as a guy and you're presented with a hot woman and you're in the moment, you might say the wrong thing as a dude. Yeah, we tend to make those mistakes.

[Brooke]

Okay, but you don't say the wrong thing over and over and over.

[Alexis]

That was his problem. Yeah, he was like.

[Jeffrey]

Anyway, he doubled down, so it's quadrupled down. Whatever. That relationship's probably never gonna happen. But wouldn't it be interesting if Tamara, like, found somebody in Mark's family?

[Brooke]

Like, he. He had a secret brother.

[Jeffrey]

Tamara's dating Mark's dad. Mark is dating her sister Mark. Mark's mom is with Tamara's brother.

[Brooke]

Starting to feel too much like my hometown Jeffrey. I don't think I'm here for it.

[Jeffrey]

Talk about a weird Thanksgiving.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Somehow they're like stepsisters.

[Brooke]

It's actually pretty easy Thanksgiving. There'd only be like, four people there. Yeah.

[CarMax/Granger Ad Speaker]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Mark, Tamara, we have our fingers crossed for your both of your families.

[Alexis]

Best of luck.

[Jeffrey]

And all of this started because of one pink shirt.

[Brooke]

I'm worried everyone's gonna be in pink at the bars for sure.

[Jeffrey]

But if you ever need help with your dating life, email the show. We'll call that person that's not calling you back. You can check out all of our second day podcast, wherever you get yours. BrookeandJeffrey.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

They say timing is everything when it comes to

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

comedy.

[CarMax/Granger Ad Speaker]

Nailed it.

[Jeffrey]

Nailed it. Let's see Kevin Hart pull that one up. But one of our listeners learned his comedy lesson the hard way.

[Brooke]

Ooh, harder than that. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. He attempted a bad joke at an even worse time during his first date. And instead of laughter, all he got was a silent death stare.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

Is it possible that one joke was so awful it completely ruined his romantic chances?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Oh, man.

[Jeffrey]

We're gonna find out. Or die trying in your brand new second date.

[Alexis]

I get it.

[Brooke]

I knew it.

[Alexis]

Update.

[Brooke]

Got it again.

[Jeffrey]

Suck it, Bill Burr. We're gonna do it. Coming up right after this, Brooke and

[Brooke]

Jeffrey in the morning. Second date. Update.

[Jeffrey]

Meeting somebody that you're interested in at a friend's birthday party?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Sounds kind of fun to me.

[Brooke]

Yeah, for sure. What a great place to meet.

[Jeffrey]

That's actually our listener listener's story today for how they met. I've actually met somebody that same way.

[Brooke]

Really?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Who?

[Jeffrey]

Now, keep in mind, I was inside the cake at the time, ready to pop out, and this party was kind of like a group birthday sort of thing.

[Brooke]

Is there another person in the cake with you, Jeff?

[Jeffrey]

No, but I woke up very sore the next morning from crouching inside that cake for so long. But you know what? Enough about me and my story. Let's talk to our listener, Paul. Paul, were you inside of a cat cake too?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

I was not inside of a cake.

[Brooke]

Wow, that sounds like a boring party.

[Jeffrey]

What was it?

[Alexis]

Like a flan?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Yeah, we.

[Jeffrey]

We don't know. We want to know, like, what was this birthday? How did you meet this person? Let's hear the whole story.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Yeah. So went to a mutual friend's birthday. That's really not important. But I. I saw the girl there.

[Alexis]

I think it is, actually. Because if you're at a friend's birthday, you know, a lot of people, there's mutuals there. So it's different if it's a randos party.

[Brooke]

And what I'm curious about is did your friends alert you that there would be a cute, cute single that you were gonna meet?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

No.

[Brooke]

Okay, okay, okay. It was more of a this is all on you.

[Jeffrey]

That's more of a natural meeting.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

All right, so tell us, what's the name of this girl that you thought was so attractive?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Her name is Stacy.

[Brooke]

Stacy.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

And I would not describe her as a conventional beauty, but she is a person who's extremely striking.

[Brooke]

I can't tell if this is a compliment or not.

[Alexis]

It dabbles, like, almost a compliment, and then it's like a rugged face or. What did you call it?

[Brooke]

I mean, why do you say.

[Alexis]

Feel like you're like, a handsome squirrel?

[Brooke]

Like, why even add that into the conversation that it's not conventionally beautiful? Why would you even say that?

[Alexis]

It is bad the more I say.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Yeah, it's just how I would describe her.

[Alexis]

Maybe he means, like, she was not his type, but she was pretty.

[Brooke]

Okay, and so how did you start a conversation with her?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Well, I just went up and started talking to her about her outfit, because while it wasn't risque or anything, it was stylish.

[Alexis]

These comments, was it, like, a dress bromper?

[Brooke]

Do you know, meet, like, models in bikinis? Places you go?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

No, no, no. But again, it was a friend's birthday party, so I showed up in T shirts and jeans, and there she was in this, like, very slim, beautiful outfit. She looked like she could be selling cigarettes in the 1930s.

[Alexis]

Again, not sure if this is a compliment.

[Jeffrey]

You have a way with cigars.

[Brooke]

Cigarettes, Cigars.

[Jeffrey]

So she's wearing something that no other woman in their right mind would wear,

[Brooke]

but unless it was the 1930s.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Yeah, you guys are painting it in a negative way, like.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, we are.

[Brooke]

We're just teasing you.

[Alexis]

So she's wearing a flapper.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Tell us more about the hangout.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Well, talking to her, she's obviously a person who gets a lot of male

[Brooke]

attention, and that wasn't obvious to me based on the.

[Alexis]

It really wasn't.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, but.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Is this considered your date?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I got. I got her Instagram handle, and then I slid into her DMs and.

[Brooke]

Okay, okay, so you didn't ask her out just then. You asked her out later.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Exactly.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so tell us about the date where you guys met up.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

The day was great. We went out for Ty. We had good food. I continued to ask her questions about her incredible fashion sense because, again, she showed up in another unconventional outfit. Bro.

[Alexis]

Is she a stylist or something?

[Brooke]

I'm just trying to think it was, like, bootcut jeans at this point.

[Alexis]

What if it's not a crazy. She's like, I'm wearing a dress.

[Brooke]

Did she like you complimenting her on her fashion?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Fashion, style, Absolutely.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Obviously takes a lot of time and Preparation and presenting how she looks. And it's incredible. It is really amazing to see. Okay.

[Alexis]

And, you know.

[Jeffrey]

And you know, a lot of women spend, like, a lot of time before a day getting themselves ready, making sure they look really good. So I'm sure she felt seen.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Well, exactly. She said that fashion was her passion.

[Alexis]

I like that saying.

[Brooke]

God, it sounds like a bumper sticker, doesn't it? Yeah.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

So she talked on and on about that, and that was great.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

And at one point, the conversation beard. We realized that we were both. Are both conspiracy nuts, which is. How bizarre.

[Bowen Yang]

Is that fun?

[Brooke]

Wait, you believe in them or you just like to know about them?

[Alexis]

Talk about them?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

I would say we like to talk about them. But specifically, do you guys know the movie Room 237?

[Brooke]

No. Is it a horror film or something? It sounds like it.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

No, it's a documentary about the Shining, but. Oh, there's a bunch of conspiracy theories about the movie.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. So that was a big point of conversation for you, too, because you'd both seen this.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Exactly.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Interesting topics, though. You know, it's not just weather or. What do you do for work?

[Alexis]

You guys can watch a movie and by the end be like, okay, we got the treasure map. I think we figured it out.

[Jeffrey]

Really sexy. Setting the mood. So how did you two end the date?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

That was me. The. The. Probably the only awkward part, because when the check came, I made a stupid joke about how she would have to Venmo me. And then she gave me a really, like, dirty look, and I was like, I was kidding. I was kidding.

[CarMax/Granger Ad Speaker]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Oh, no.

[Brooke]

Did she actually venmo you?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

No, no, no, no, no. Again, I stressed that. I was only kidding. That was the only hiccup, and we had a great meal. I drove her home, I kissed her on the cheek, and haven't really gotten that many texts from her since.

[Brooke]

Okay, so there's been some communication. Were you aiming for the cheek or the lips? And she turned.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

I would have taken the lips, but I wanted to play it safe. It was her first.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, that's good.

[Alexis]

That's a cute.

[Bowen Yang]

All right.

[Jeffrey]

So how long has it been since that date happened?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Almost a week.

[Brooke]

All right.

[Alexis]

And nothing. Like, she hasn't texted you, I'm busy or anything?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

It's very, like, one word answers, so.

[Alexis]

No, the vibe's off. You can always tell.

[Brooke]

Yeah. What do you think?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

I think she's unconventional, so who knows? I just want to see if you guys can get her to text me back.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Okay.

[Alexis]

We're gonna Call this unconventional woman.

[Brooke]

I'm excited.

[Alexis]

What if she talks unconventionally?

[Brooke]

This is an unconventional way to go about getting another.

[Jeffrey]

That's for sure. So we're gonna reach out to Stacy for you in just a few minutes and find out. Does she have a reason or is some sort of conspiracy afoot here? Hopefully it's the first. We're gonna do it with your second date update right after this. Hold on.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

If you missed the first part of our second date, we learned a new way to compliment a woman.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Is to call her an unconventional beauty.

[Brooke]

You know, it's. It's really, honestly, a good compliment. It was just the way he was saying it felt. Yeah.

[Alexis]

Yeah, we're unconventional. Like, you are so sexy. Unconventionally.

[Jeffrey]

It was a little bit confusing, but we think it was supposed to be a compliment from our listener Paul, who was. He was enamored by Stacy and her unique sense of style, along with her unconventional looks.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

That most men might not gravitate towards, but one in a million do find her striking. And that one is with us right now. And it drove Paul to reach out to a radio show. Paul, how are you feeling about us calling her in a second here?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Again, I would like to stress she is an attractive woman.

[Jeffrey]

I'm just quoting you.

[Brooke]

Yeah, he's not feeling good after that whole recap, Jeff. But you did say, like, she probably has men hitting on her all the time.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Yeah, yeah, Easily.

[Brooke]

Sounds like.

[Alexis]

She also has a lot of confidence. She's stylish.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Totally.

[Brooke]

That's a good point, Jose. I mean, that might just be it. Maybe she's too busy with other dates to, like, get back to you.

[Jeffrey]

She's just swimming in a sea of dudes right now.

[Brooke]

God, aren't you jealous?

[Jeffrey]

Book my trip. Anyway, let's reach out to Stacy. Hopefully she picks up and can give us a little bit of insight. I'm dialing her number right now.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hi, is this Stacy?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah, who's this?

[Jeffrey]

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

[Brooke]

Hey, Stacy.

[Alexis]

Good morning.

[Brooke]

Welcome to the show.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

What is this? Is this, like a prank?

[Alexis]

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

No, we do do those, but not this time.

[Jeffrey]

This is our top rated segment called Brook and. No, it's called called Second Date Update.

[Brooke]

Good sell, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

I was reading the sign on the wall, and I got distracted by Brooke and Jeffrey.

[Alexis]

Always top rated.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's actually falling in the rankings as we speak. So we'd like for you to be a part of it.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

No, I don't think so.

[Brooke]

I think you need to hear why we even have your information.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, because one of our listeners says he went out on a great date with you recently and would like to see you again. He's a little confused why it's not happening, though. His name's Paul.

[Brooke]

Paul.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

No, I can't even. No, don't even.

[Brooke]

No, wait, don't even with Paul? Or you just hate us and don't want to talk to us?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

No, Paul. Like, I have nothing against you guys.

[Alexis]

Well, what are you against Paul?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

I just can't. I'm so mad at him.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Wow.

[Brooke]

Oh, man, he is in the dark.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, if that's how you feel about him, that's totally valid. But he doesn't understand why he doesn't

[Brooke]

even know you're mad.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, according to his recap of the date, it was actually a great night.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Oh. Yeah. He has problems.

[Brooke]

Wait, is this a problem you noticed on the day, or is this something you learned about him later?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

It was what I learned on the date. Okay, listen. He didn't take any pictures of me at all during our date, and I look freaking incredible.

[Brooke]

You wanted him to take photos of you, right?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah. I mean, the fact is, I am friggin hot. Like, ridiculously hot.

[Jeffrey]

Unconventionally hot. Yeah, yeah,

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

yeah, I would say that.

[Jeffrey]

Definitely not your standard.

[Brooke]

Okay, that's great. And you wanted him to pull out his camera as soon as he complimented you and start snapping photos at some point.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

He didn't do any. And I kept even giving him hints like, oh my God, how many more selfies? Like, take a freaking picture of me.

[Brooke]

Did you say he took selfies? Did he take pictures of himself?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

No, I took selfies.

[Alexis]

Oh, he could have told.

[Brooke]

That is funny that he didn't bring that up. That would be a weird thing. So you took pictures of yourself?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

If you saw what I look like, you'd understand.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, Stacy, I'm trying to understand by him not not wanting to take a photo of you on his phone.

[Brooke]

No, not. Not wanting to. Not doing.

[Jeffrey]

Not doing it to you. That was like an offense.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Can I be honest with you? There's a reason they say actions speak louder than words. He can tell me I'm beautiful. Like, I know I'm beautiful, okay? But it means nothing without actually taking pictures of my beauty.

[Jeffrey]

If he really thought that you were as beautiful as he said he was. Was. He would have been taking photos to memorialize that moment for all of time.

[Brooke]

Hey, maybe he took Secret candids when you weren't looking.

[Alexis]

That would be so creepy.

[Brooke]

Well, she likes it.

[Alexis]

Did you just say that's creepy? I heard her say that.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Well, it'll be creepster if you did it without me knowing it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Alexis]

At least we have the guidelines.

[Brooke]

You do have boundaries.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

I'm glad.

[Brooke]

I am happy to hear that.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I hope that this. This isn't too creepy to tell you,

[Alexis]

but I hope he's been taking pictures.

[Jeffrey]

Paul is actually on the other line, quietly listening in. Yeah, that's how the segment works, is we have them listen to hear what the reasoning is. So, Paul, are you there?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Yeah. I would just want to say that I. I know you looked incredible on the day, and that's how I was telling you how beautiful you were. And I'm pretty sure I said it, like, multiple times.

[Brooke]

Oh, you're missing the point, Paul.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Words mean nothing without the actions to back it up.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Well, I was just focused on being present with you and having a good conversation and connecting with you. I thought that was more important.

[Alexis]

Usually, that's.

[Brooke]

Excuse me.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Really? You were just thinking of yourself.

[Brooke]

He's selfish.

[Alexis]

I think he's thinking of you.

[Brooke]

You're selfish. I think he's trying to say that there was so much more to you, you know, than just how beautiful you.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

You're giving him a pass he doesn't deserve.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, Paul, can you admit that you were selfish that night by not taking a bunch of photos of her?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I never thought that would be an offense.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Well, that sounds patronizing. And I was so sad when I got home that night. I only took five selfies in my outfit.

[Jeffrey]

Only five?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Normally, I take a lot more. Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah. If you only take five photos of. Of yourself, you know that's a bad night, right, Alexis? Yeah.

[Alexis]

Thank you.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

What do you have to say about it, Paul?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

You know, out of the millions of different things that could have gone wrong on the date, I didn't think of this, and I should have.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

And I wish. I wish I'd taken more photos. I really. I wish I had.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

And I wish that the apology could have come a long time ago.

[Brooke]

Oh. Oh, it's too late. Are you saying it's too late?

[Jeffrey]

We're having constructive communication here, so maybe this is a good opportunity to ask.

[Bowen Yang]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Would both of you consider going out with each other another time with many, many photos taken of Stacy? And if you're willing to do that, then we would pay for it.

[Alexis]

We should Hire a photographer.

[Brooke]

No, no, we don't have that budget.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yeah, I think you should book us a trip.

[Alexis]

Yo, we don't have that at all. We just said we don't have money

[Brooke]

for a trip to Applebee's.

[Jeffrey]

You want Paul to book? Book it.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Yeah.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Didn't I just say that? I feel like I just said that.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you just met him.

[Brooke]

You want to go on a trip with him. You weren't even gonna call him back a second ago.

[Jeffrey]

Think of how great she's gonna look on vacation, bro.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

I'm thinking like first class.

[Brooke]

What?

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Paul? Houston, coach, wherever that is. That's what I'm thinking.

[Alexis]

You're thinking airplane. I thought you meant like a road trip.

[Brooke]

So that's how you apologize to you, right?

[Alexis]

Oh, get her a.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Listen. He can sit and coach, okay?

[Alexis]

Take pics of you on the plane.

[Brooke]

That's going to save him some money, though. Yes, don't argue that point.

[Jeffrey]

This is very, very reasonable woman on the phone who clearly.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you're welcome, Stacy.

[Brooke]

So, look, sarcasm.

[Jeffrey]

Unfortunately, due to our radio budget, we're not going to be able to pay for plane tickets. But maybe we can fund the in flight meal. At least the coach one. We could probably afford that one for Paul.

[Brooke]

I think it's. It's usually a $8 snack box.

[Jeffrey]

Paul, would you be open to this idea?

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

Well, what choice do I have? I mean, if that's the only way I can spend time with her, then that's what I have to do, right? Wow.

[Jeffrey]

The lengths that he's willing to go to for you. Stacy, would you agree to a date

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

with him as long as he's in coach? Accept the terms that I'm in first class.

[Alexis]

You don't want to sit next to

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

him and he does selfies of me.

[Alexis]

What if he buys two first class tickets? Honestly, you're next to him.

[Brooke]

They are not equals. Okay, I think you caught that.

[Tamara/Stacy (Listener)]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

He needs to remember he's going to be punished for a few weeks before he's allowed to sit next to you. But look at that, Paul, you asked us for another date. You started off with a little bit of miscommunication. Yeah, not enough photos taken. And ended with the most unconventional, beautiful romance in all of history.

[Brooke]

I have a tear in my eye.

[Jeffrey]

I must feel good.

[Mark/Paul (Listener)]

It doesn't feel bad.

[Brooke]

It will when you check your bank account later.

[Jeffrey]

She doesn't care about that.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Good morning.

Avocados from Mexico. Always good when you're a man and you see a sliver of an opening to hang out with an unconventional woman and she says, buy me a first class plane trip to somewhere nice while you sit and coach. You can't let an opportunity like that slip away.

[Brooke]

I guess not.

[Jeffrey]

That's right.

[Alexis]

That's not an opportunity.

[Brooke]

Jeff sounds like such a good, healthy relationship.

[Jeffrey]

he flies in the luggage compartment.
