Alexis
What's up? We're giving you a little extra fun. Always on a Saturday. Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And you found the podcast.
Jose
Yes you did.
Alexis
Uh huh. And today we give you two double classics. With the idea being that maybe on the weekend you need something a little bit longer to get your life finished. Whether it's chores. I know a lot of people listen to some chores or they're falling asleep. Yep. We get a lot of both of those. Yep. Or drive in, whatever it is. And we love reading your comments. Oh yes, and this listener also listens to us when they do something else. They said you have a listener in Colombia. I'm always listening to you guys when walking my dogs. And I look a little funny when laughing out loud while crossing the street.
Jose
Dude, that's awesome.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jose
In Colombia, do your dogs. Ja, ja, ja. Laugh along with you, right?
Alexis
Oh my God. That's one of the most beautiful countries. That's awesome. Thank you so much for listening wherever you are and enjoy the next two classic second date updates.
Jeff
The most disappointing thing about a good rom com is knowing that relationships aren't like that in real life. I mean, when I've been walking down the street and like a gorgeous woman has only tripped and fallen directly into my arms, like four or five times.
Alexis
Maybe or never, Jeff.
Jeff
Then there was that one time I accidentally swapped bodies with a 13 year old in a lightning storm.
Alexis
Oh, wow.
Jeff
I became a kid for a week while they dated my girlfriend.
Alexis
Yeah, that's kind of weird.
Jeff
Yeah.
Alexis
But other than that, never, never happens. Never never becomes real.
Jeff
Today, one of our listeners decided his goal was to bring the magic of rom coms to his dating life.
Alexis
Wow.
Jeff
And he went all out with it. You're gonna hear it in your second date update right after this second date update. Man. We've been hearing from our listeners, especially in the last couple years, that the dating landscape is more bleak than ever.
Jose
Oh yeah.
Alexis
I feel like this is the theme song for it, Jeff. Yeah.
Jeff
Well, you know what? I do appreciate the guys out there who aren't backing Down. Aren't giving up.
Alexis
Yeah, for sure.
Ben
Good for them.
Jeff
Sure, it's tough for them to land a date, but when they do, they get creative with it.
Alexis
I love that they plan out like.
Jeff
A dumpster diving dinner date.
Alexis
Oh, we did have that. Yeah. That was misguided effort, but unique.
Jose
Very.
Jeff
Or a blindfolded romantic trustwalk across a freeway.
Alexis
Okay.
Jeff
Nothing brings you together like that type of experience.
Alexis
Or very far apart, depending on who gets hit.
Jeff
Well, it'll bring you together in the same hospital room. And one of our listeners, Ben, said he went creative with his date idea. And before we even hear it, Brooke's going to give her sign of approval just for trying.
Jose
A man tried.
Alexis
Whenever you ask for my approval before I hear something, it's usually because something is not a good idea.
Jeff
I don't even know what the day it is.
Alexis
Oh, you don't? Okay, then. I think it's good for you, Ben. I love that you put that on.
Jose
Let's go. Good energy.
Alexis
Sorry, I thought I was getting tricked by Jeffrey. That happens a lot on this show.
Jose
But you don't trust any man, Ben.
Alexis
No, I just don't trust him.
Jeff
We want to hear what was this creative date idea that you came up with?
Ben
So in order to understand this date, you kind of have to understand, like, how we bonded.
Alexis
Okay.
Ben
So Amanda and I, we met on the app and we bonded over movies. Like, we both really love movies.
Alexis
Dude, if you were about to say you took her to the movie theater and that's a strange part. Hang up on him. Hang up on him.
Jeff
We don't know, but.
Ben
But yeah. So I had this idea that our first date would be like a movie theme.
Alexis
A movie theme date. Not going to the movies, but movie theme.
Jeff
What does that mean?
Ben
Right. Well, I thought about it. I wanted to have something to be memorable. And so I thought, well, I could. Maybe we could. I could pick a movie where. Where we had that experience in date form.
Jeff
Okay.
Alexis
Okay.
Jeff
So you did Air Force One together and hijacked a plane.
Alexis
That's fun.
Ben
Yes. Well, yeah, I was thinking, like, date movies, but I like your ideas too.
Jeff
But what'd you go with?
Ben
I decided to do, like, different movie scenes because I couldn't think of a whole movie from start to finish that would make a good date.
Alexis
Okay, so what'd you pick?
Jeff
You're recreating famous date movie scenes, like.
Ben
Iconic scenes from movies. Like, for example, the first thing we did was we had a Shrek themed picnic in a swamp.
Alexis
I think that's a cute thing.
Jose
Sentiment's there?
Jeff
Of course. Brooke thinks a swamp date is cute.
Alexis
I think as long as she figures out the movie associated with it.
Ben
Oh, she got it. She got it almost right away. Well, it helped. I was talking like Shrek too, because, you know, doing my Shrek voice.
Alexis
So what was next? What happened after the Shrek picnic?
Ben
Then? I wanted to do, like, an activity, and there was this pottery studio right around the corner from the pond.
Alexis
Oh, my God. Like, Patrick Swayze ghost style.
Ben
Yeah.
Alexis
Is that what you're saying?
Brooke
Yeah.
Jose
Sexy pottery.
Ben
That's exactly it. So we had the potter wheel.
Jeff
Well, hold on. Did you die and come back as a ghost first? In order to do this properly?
Jose
Was your shirt off?
Ben
No, I kept my shirt on.
Alexis
You didn't awkwardly go behind her, did you?
Ben
Maybe I did, but, you know, it wasn't weird or anything interesting.
Jose
Oh, my gosh.
Alexis
What was her response?
Ben
So I think she said, are you really doing this? I said, yeah. I mean, all right.
Jeff
Are you really doing this? As in, like, wow, this is impressive. Are you seriously going through this much effort?
Alexis
Tone's gonna be really important on that sentence, and unfortunately, we cannot recreat.
Jeff
I'm gonna assume that she loved it.
Ben
I thought she was. I thought she was into it. She even said that Ghost was one of her favorite movies.
Alexis
Oh, she did?
Jose
So she told.
Alexis
Well, so she said was as in past tense.
Jeff
Take us to the third. Take us to the third and final love scene. What was the movie you went with there?
Ben
Well, so at the end, I had a couple of options.
Jeff
Okay, let her choose.
Ben
So I told her, like, we could do the dirty dancing lift.
Jeff
Oh, wow. Are you even physically capable of that?
Ben
I think I could take her. I think I could take her.
Jose
I think I could take her.
Jeff
Okay.
Alexis
Did you really leaning into these Patrick Swayze scenes?
Ben
Yeah.
Jose
Yeah.
Ben
What was the other option I thought would be really, really cool? Special moment is the upside down kiss from Spider man.
Alexis
Oh, wow.
Ben
I thought that would be the perfect way to end off the date.
Alexis
Yeah. How would you do that?
Jeff
Hold her upside down?
Ben
There was a tree out there with a branch.
Jose
There it is. There we go.
Alexis
Did you really hang upside down from a tree?
Jeff
Well, which one did she choose?
Ben
Actually, she didn't choose either one of those.
Alexis
Probably for the best.
Jeff
Oh, what?
Ben
She recommended that we do the handshake scene from Wolf of Wall Street. Oh, yeah.
Jeff
I don't know.
Alexis
I don't remember the handshake.
Ben
Yeah. In other words, she just gave me a handshake. It was a very firm handshake.
Jeff
All Right. So is that how you guys left it? With a fir handshake?
Ben
Yeah. Yeah, that was it. And she thanked me for the date. She thought it was really cool and thoughtful and. And I told her I'd like to see her again, and she said, yeah, let's see if we can make that happen.
Alexis
Interesting.
Jeff
We just went over a list of things that people say that they don't really mean, and that was one of the top ones.
Alexis
Yeah, we'll totally get together.
Jeff
Yeah, sure.
Alexis
Have you contacted her?
Ben
I texted her, and I. I messaged her on the app, and I haven't heard from. Well, I haven't heard back from her, and so that's why I was, you know, hoping you guys can help me hook up that spider man kiss.
Jeff
Yeah. I mean, you put in a lot of effort. Whether or not we agree that they were great ideas or not, just the effort alone is worth another shot.
Jose
Or even this. He's on a radio show to get her back. Like, this is a lot.
Alexis
It should be a movie.
Jeff
Oh, is that sleepless? Sleepless in Seattle. She calls into a radio show. We're gonna go full sleepless on this girl when we do your second date update.
Alexis
Oh, I do kind of remember that.
Jeff
Now we're gonna h on top of the Empire State Building when we come back.
Ben
At least a space needle.
Alexis
The end is definitely Empire State Building. Can we pick a new movie? I mean, something close just. You haven't seen it?
Ben
No.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeff
Alexis, leave the room. We're gonna do a second date update right after this second date update. Three romantic movie scenes recreated in one very steamy date.
Alexis
Steamy because the. The pond next to them.
Jeff
Yeah, a lot of moisture coming up, I see. Yeah, because our listener Ben bonded with a woman named Amanda over their shared love of cinema, so he thought it'd be fun to recreate the swamp picnic from the Shrek movie.
Alexis
It's actually really cute.
Jeff
The pottery scene from Ghost. And after she rejected the upside down spider man kiss, they settled on a regular handshake.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
A very business like. Like Wolf of Wall Street.
Jeff
That's right. Hot. Now, did something happen in the middle of all that stuff? Because those movie scenes sounded really great. But, Ben, I need to ask you. When you were reaching around her at the pottery place, you were feeling normal, right?
Alexis
Oh, God, Jeff.
Jeff
What?
Ben
Oh, yeah. No. Yeah, totally.
Alexis
Is that what you mean?
Jeff
Brooke, you know how these go.
Alexis
I mean, that would never ask that.
Jeff
Question before, but you understand the physical reaction that pottery has on a man.
Jose
Okay, no, je.
Jeff
When you stick your Hands into that clay. You can't control what your body does.
Jose
Okay?
Jeff
It does for me.
Alexis
What happened in your art class in high school, Jeffrey?
Brooke
I don't want to know.
Jeff
Well, I'll ask my art teacher to send you the video if you're really that interested.
Jose
Oh, there's videos?
Jeff
Yes. That's so stupid, Ben. It was all kosher in the pottery place.
Ben
It was just pottery.
Alexis
Okay, good, good.
Jose
That's the best answer, actually.
Alexis
Pottery's really hard.
Jeff
Yeah, they say it like that.
Ben
I know, right?
Jeff
Sure.
Jose
It is appropriate.
Alexis
I bet you is difficult. Like, I've taken a pottery class before.
Jeff
I think a lot of us are feeling hot right now, so we better just call her.
Alexis
Do not say anything.
Jeff
That's right. Let's get more people in on this action. I'm dialing Amanda right now. Here we go.
Brooke
Hello?
Jeff
Hey, we're looking to speak with Amanda.
Brooke
Is she.
Jeff
Hey, Amanda, my name is Jeff. You're on the radio right now with a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Alexis
Hey, Amanda.
Ben
Hello, Amanda.
Jose
Good morning.
Ben
Don't hang up.
Brooke
Hi.
Jose
Hi.
Alexis
Hey, you're pretty chill. She's cool.
Jose
We're chill, too. Amanda.
Brooke
What's up?
Jeff
We're doing a segment called A Second Date Update, which is where we try and help out our listeners after they've gone out with somebody and they'd like to see them again. Try and figure out if there's a reason why the second meetup hasn't happened yet.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeff
Okay. And so the guy that reached out to us about you, his name is Ben.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeff
Yeah.
Alexis
Does that make sense?
Brooke
That does make sense.
Alexis
Okay, cool.
Jeff
So basically, we have heard from Ben about your guys's recreate A movie date.
Alexis
He put a lot of thought and energy into it because he was really excited about you.
Brooke
Yeah. So I don't know how many details he gave you.
Jose
A lot.
Jeff
We heard Shrek Ghost, and then you guys settled on a Wolf of Wall street thing.
Jose
Oh, yeah.
Alexis
Handshake at the end.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
Which was your idea.
Brooke
Let me. Yes. Ghost pottery. Which was very, like, creative and cute and, like. Yeah. But he had told me that the last thing was gonna be a surprise, so he wasn't gonna, like, tell me until the end. And he kept bringing up during the other dates, like, you know, we could stop this right now and just do Pretty Woman.
Alexis
Pretty Woman.
Jose
Oh, God. What does that mean? Oh, she's a prostitute.
Alexis
Where he pays you for your services.
Brooke
Where he's a businessman and she's a hooker.
Jose
No, hold on. He wanted you to be.
Alexis
He wanted to be the person who took you shopping. That's probably what he meant, right?
Jose
I remember. It was a classy hook.
Jeff
Yeah, she's very respectable in that movie.
Alexis
I mean, he wanted to kiss. They don't kiss in Pretty Woman.
Jeff
Even if.
Brooke
Even if he did mean I want to take you shopping. That's a strange thing for a first date. And, like, it was already pretty elaborate, you guys. It was the first date. Like, I just met this guy.
Alexis
So wait, you're upset that he brought up Pretty Woman because that made you feel used? Is that what it is?
Brooke
It just was a little oogie. His intentions didn't feel great, but Ogre.
Jeff
Swamp Picnic felt right to you?
Brooke
It was multiple references to that, you guys.
Jeff
Yeah, I see what you're feeling. Young people call it the ick. Yeah, from the Pretty Woman thing.
Alexis
She called it the oogie.
Jeff
Okay.
Alexis
I think the oogie and the ick are very similar. Yeah, the oogies before that.
Jeff
Well, sure, when? I don't want to, like, bring up any more icky oogy feelings, but I do need to tell you that Ben is on the other line right now listening to this conversation.
Brooke
Fantastic.
Jeff
And he does want to talk to you. Ben, are you there?
Ben
I am here. And let me tell you, I feel exactly like the guys from Dude, Where's My Car right now?
Alexis
What does that mean? You're hungover?
Brooke
You can't read, the tattoo on your back, your high.
Alexis
Like, what do you mean mean by that?
Ben
Like, I'm just totally confused, you know.
Alexis
I would have gone for days and confused or something, you know, like, had confused in the title.
Jeff
Why are you so confused?
Ben
Well, I just had no idea. Like, so when I suggested Pretty Woman, I mean, I was thinking about, like, the romance element, you know, like the fact that these two people, like, really hit it off and fell in love. I forgot she was a prostitute. That's not why I was bringing that up.
Jeff
That's like the whole plot of the movie.
Alexis
You could have chosen something.
Ben
Well, it definitely was not my intention. I was not trying to imply that you were a prostitute in any way.
Jeff
That's good.
Alexis
You know, it's always good. You have to say that after. It's always a good thing.
Jose
I don't know how many times I've.
Alexis
Said that to my neighbor. Let's not try to imply that.
Ben
Okay, I totally get it.
Jeff
Are you hearing him, Amanda? Do you see where he is coming from?
Brooke
I don't know how you forget that part.
Jose
The escort thing.
Brooke
Yeah, that's kind of the key.
Alexis
So wait, are you not believing him, Amanda? Is that the issue?
Brooke
Yeah, I guess not.
Jeff
Okay, well, you got to look on the bright side, Amanda. At least he didn't bring up Silence of the Lambs.
Jose
Yeah, thank you.
Jeff
And turn you into True.
Brooke
There was no lotion or skin. Like, there were no buckets involved in the date. I appreciate that.
Jeff
Okay, yeah, see, now we're thinking. We're thinking positive here.
Ben
And I also kind of met it as a compliment because I think you are a pretty woman.
Jose
That's what Alexis just said, bro. She can hear what she's saying, too.
Jeff
So this is a little bit awkward right now.
Brooke
It's a little. Yeah.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jeff
But the way that we can make this all better is if, Amanda, you're willing to give Ben one more chance at another date. You could pick any other movie scene that you want to do or just a non movie.
Alexis
You could do a do over and do 50 first date dates. You know, where he forgets every time and then they start.
Jeff
Or 50 Shades of First Dates, you know?
Alexis
Yeah.
Brooke
So if you guys are gonna send us to Hawaii, then I'm in.
Jose
But I had the money.
Jeff
Yeah, well, we'll pay for the taxi to the airport, then you handle the rest, so.
Ben
Okay.
Jeff
But, Ben, do you have a another day idea if she says yes?
Jose
Well, does it have to be movies?
Brooke
Yes. Yeah.
Jeff
Well, I mean, that's how they bonded.
Ben
Movies are kind of our thing. I don't know. I mean, I'd like. I'd really like to do like, a Basic Instinct.
Jeff
A what?
Alexis
What?
Brooke
Yeah, I'm out. I'm out, y'. All.
Alexis
What is it? That's the one with, like, a scary stalker, isn't it?
Jeff
He meant it as like, she's pretty.
Ben
She's beautiful. She's beautiful and naked.
Alexis
I'm pretty sure that's the one where she's naked.
Jose
I gotta watch this.
Jeff
So, Ben, I'm gonna ask you again. Maybe try something different, maybe a little bit more romantic this time.
Jose
What? Mo.
Alexis
You started with Shrek.
Jose
Dude, I'm cute.
Jeff
What movie did you have in mind for that second date, bud?
Ben
I'll be honest. I keep thinking about this and how. But I don't know how we could turn it into a date. But my favorite movie is Pulp Fiction.
Alexis
No, get him off the phone.
Ben
But there's a dance scene. The swing dance scene.
Jeff
All right. You know, Ben, I think I was.
Jose
Thinking Harry Potter day. Like, what are you guys doing?
Jeff
Ben, I think your heart is in the right place. For sure, but your mind is.
Ben
Is. I mean, I just like a lot of movies. I just like a lot of movies.
Jeff
Your mind is scaring her though, Ben.
Alexis
So is she even on the phone?
Jeff
I don't know. Amanda, are you still there?
Brooke
Yeah, I'm not sure. Why?
Jeff
Well, Amanda, I'm sorry for all of this, but best of luck in the dating pool. Ben, you got a lot of work to do.
Jose
Yeah, man, I go away from movies.
Alexis
Maybe stick with just rom coms, dude.
Jose
Yeah, yeah, stick with one genre.
Alexis
Animated.
Ben
Yeah, I could try that, I guess. I am really super disappointed, though. I did put a lot of work into that and that's that. I don't know if she remembers, but my outfit at the picnic was very reminiscent of Shrek and I just, you know, I feel like I should get credit.
Jeff
Ben, the good news is a lot of single women are hearing this right now and running. At least they heard it.
Jose
Yeah.
Alexis
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeff
Oh, you know what? That could have been a really sweet second date. So close to rom com perfection. But he ended up being weird.
Alexis
Yeah. Yeah.
Jose
I mean, it wasn't subtle like we. I see you slipping in movies there, but not subtly.
Alexis
I mean, and she tried. She tried to like it, she tried to get on with it, and then she's like, no, My gut is telling me that something's. Something's off.
Jose
But we figured. That's right.
Jeff
You know what? I do believe there is a woman out there somewhere right now thinking, when is a guy finally going to treat me like a high priced. I deserve that. That's my dream.
Jose
Yeah, you do, ladies. You deserve shock.
Alexis
I'm starting to relate a little more.
Jeff
I'm telling you, somebody out there for everybody, and we can help you find them. Email the show, we can call that person who's not calling you back and go check out all of our second dates. Wherever you get your podcasts at. Brooke and Jeffrey.
Alexis
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeff
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And don't you hate it when you're having a normal conversation with someone that you're interested in and then out of the blue they say, yeah, I had a good weekend too. Other than getting arrested for selling smuggled chinchillas on the black market.
Alexis
Oh, dang.
Jeff
Other than that, totally normal. I mean, it's hard to know how to react properly to something that shocking.
Alexis
Or ask for the price.
Jeff
True. That's exactly how we're listener Vincent felt when he got a text from his date right before they were supposed to go out, and immediately it changed everything. You're Going to find out what she said in your second date update, right after this second date update, does it change your mentality if you're going out on a date with someone and you find out they went to Harvard versus, like, a community college or something? Or school.
Jose
I gotta tell a whole different set.
Alexis
Of jokes on this day, I imagine immediately trust. Fun kid.
Ben
Yeah.
Jose
Is that bad?
Jeff
Yeah.
Alexis
Should I go with smart? But I was thinking completely blonde quotes. Oh, okay.
Jeff
Yeah, I see where you're coming from. Like, if I match with a woman who is a Harvard grad. I know what I'm thinking.
Alexis
What do you.
Jeff
She can do my taxes. I better bring my Quicken to the restaurant so that she can take care of that for me while she hang. Like, are built.
Jose
You're like, here's my one form. Can you help? How many jobs do you have?
Alexis
You know they still have communications majors there, right?
Jeff
I don't believe it. But no, seriously, it is possible to get a little intimidated before the date even happens. And apparently that was the case for one of our listeners, Vincent, but it had nothing to do with the school that she attended. Vincent, what did you get intimidated by?
Ben
Hi, y'. All. So.
H
I met this girl on an app, Blair, and she texted me beforehand that she was gonna be running late because she had a therapy session that was going long.
Alexis
Okay, so that's actually a good thing.
Jeff
So.
H
Well, so I. I replied, are you in therapy? And she said, no, she's the therapist.
Ben
Oh.
Alexis
Oh, my God, I am so with you.
Ben
Oh, boy.
Jose
Yeah, even I now it's intimidating.
Alexis
I have friends that are therapists, and every time I leave a conversation, I'm like. Like, they were judging me. I just know it.
Jose
I remember talking to a girl on Tinder once, and she's like, yeah, I'm a therapist, but don't worry, I won't analyze you. And I'm like, yeah, right. You just say that. Yes, you will.
Jeff
Is that how you felt, Vincent?
Ben
Yeah.
H
I mean, you guys hit the nail on the head. I was. I was immediately nervous because she was going to be, you know, smart and analytical, and I actually changed the location. I texted her a different address to, like, a nicer, more upscale vlog.
Jose
I'm not going to Applebee's.
Jeff
She knows she's not just breaking down you as a person. She's breaking down all of the choices that you make, too. So probably a good call.
Alexis
So funny. Did it make you more nervous?
H
Oh, for sure.
Ben
Yeah.
H
I mean, I actually started to feel hyper aware, and I think I just, like, Fixated on everything I was saying, and I. I just think I came off weird.
Jose
You were uncomfortable.
Jeff
So you still did go out on the date then?
H
Yeah, we met in person, and she was really beautiful and nice and, like, very warm.
Alexis
Okay. And did you get an invoice for your session?
H
Well, she actually made a joke just like that. She said I was listening a lot and she was talking and maybe she should pay me.
Alexis
Oh, that's cute. That's a big compliment.
Ben
Yeah.
Jeff
Were you, like, trying to be really listening and attentive to her, or was that an accident?
Alexis
An accident? Or it could be just how he is as a person, too. I feel like it's out of fear that she'll notice any red flag that.
Brooke
Comes out of his mouth.
Jeff
Sometimes I go in, like, wanting to be super confident, and then I say nothing, and I. I'm like, oops. Is that the case?
H
I did try to listen more than I spoke, but then as soon as she called it out, I opened up.
Ben
A little bit more.
H
And then, if I'm being honest, then I started to, like, talk about my own childhood. I had no idea how I got into it.
Alexis
Okay, but childhood can be a common topic on a first date, right? Like, where you grew up.
Jose
And if you were both being, like, self deprecating, like, what was the vibe?
Ben
Yeah.
H
Although I would say something that I think was, like, self deprecating and she'd inquire more about it.
Ben
It.
Alexis
Oh, she wouldn't laugh. You wanted to laugh there.
H
Yeah. So anyway, I just sort of feel like maybe if I had been less worried and just more relaxed and if.
Alexis
You'Re so intimidated by her, do you want to go out with her again? Like, you think you can get rid of those nerves? Or maybe.
Jose
Maybe after one day the nerves are gone and now you feel like you're comfortable.
H
I honestly wish I could do a redo because I really think that if I just took myself out of the equation and we would have a nice time.
Jeff
Okay.
Alexis
If I wasn't there, it would have been fantastic.
Jeff
So I don't want to think this for you, but is it possible that maybe you said too much about your childhood and the things you were into and the animals you used to cut up and sew back together as long.
Alexis
As they were already dead? Yeah, well, my uncle put a zipper on a squirrel once. He was practicing tax. I'm pretty sure it's one of those three sides of a serial killer. I think that's one.
Jeff
Not the right person to be talking about.
Jose
Her uncle would have Got a second?
Jeff
I'm saying, do you think you. You delved too deep into your own childhood with her?
H
I don't think so. There's no squirrels with zippers in my. My past.
Jeff
Okay.
Jose
Yeah, I'm not as messed up.
Brooke
Okay? That's where the bar's at.
Jeff
Well, it could be a totally different reason. How long has it been since you talked to her?
Ben
About a week ago.
Alexis
I mean, honestly, she's a career woman. Maybe she's just too busy. Like, she's not even. No one's too busy to text someone they like. Sorry. Okay. I'm just saying. I mean, seriously.
H
Yeah, that's sort of what I'm thinking, too, because I've asked her if she wants to go out again, and she'll get back to me, but she won't actually answer the going out part.
Alexis
She's so good at mind tricks. Yeah, she studied them at Harvard.
Jeff
Well, I'm excited to go mono E Mono with her on the phone and maybe get myself some free therapy if she's up for it.
Jose
Or you're gonna put it back on her and break her down live on the air. She's gonna cry.
Alexis
I wonder if she takes our company's interest insurance.
Jeff
Oh, okay, we're gonna ask her. I hope you're cool with that, Vincent. We're gonna take care of ourselves first and then try and get you a second date update right after this.
H
Thanks, guys.
Ben
Whatever works.
H
I'm up for it.
Jeff
All right, man. Hold on. Second date update. If you're just joining us, our listener Vincent thinks he may have psyched himself out right before his first date started.
Alexis
Definitely sounds like it.
Jeff
Because earlier that day, he learned that Blair Hair is a professional therapist. And that made him feel anxious, a little hesitant, worried that she might be super analytical of him. He should have felt excited, though. Really?
Jose
I think everybody agreed that it was a little hard.
Jeff
I've never had a therapy session end with my pants still on.
Alexis
Oh.
Jeff
Although.
Alexis
Oh, my God, that's not a good sign.
Jose
Well, I don't think that's a good.
Jeff
I do pay extra for it anyway. There's the word therapy somewhere in there.
Alexis
His.
Jeff
Though his date ended fully clothed with a little bit of oversharing into his childhood past, so he wishes that he could get a redo on the whole thing.
Alexis
I think we've all been there where your mouth is just spewing out words and your head is like, no, don't.
Jose
Say that constantly, bro.
Jeff
Now, Vincent, if Blair does pick up here, we're not gonna mention that her job, like, affected your mindset for the day. We don't want her to know that.
Alexis
Oh, really?
Jeff
Right.
Alexis
I don't think it'd be good to be honest with a therapist. I think used to it.
Jose
Yeah, everybody.
Alexis
It seems like she'd understand.
Jeff
Well, at least we don't want to offer that up right off the bat.
Alexis
I'll give you that.
Jeff
Like, let's see how she felt about the date first. Are you cool with that, Vince?
H
Yeah, whatever the play is.
Jeff
Whatever the play is. Okay.
Alexis
All right.
Jose
We're gonna let it play out.
Alexis
I mean, the thing is, are you ready to be cool? Because eventually you will be on the phone with her.
Ben
Yeah.
Jose
Are you chill right now, dog?
Alexis
Are you good?
Ben
Good.
Alexis
We don't need any more childhood stories that be so good.
H
I'll try my best.
Alexis
Okay.
Jose
Or save an embarrassing one and toss it in there for Usain.
Jeff
We're down for a little bit of juice, so we're going to dial Blair right now. We'll see if she picks up. Good luck to us all. Here we go.
Brooke
Hello.
Jeff
Hi, we're looking to speak with Blair.
Brooke
Yes, this is her.
Jeff
Hey, Blair. How you doing today?
Brooke
I'm doing well. How are you?
Ben
Thanks.
Jose
Good morning.
Alexis
Hey, Blair. Welcome to the show.
Brooke
So who is this?
Jeff
Yeah, this is a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jose
Yeah.
Brooke
Ah. Oh, okay. What can I help you with?
Jeff
Well, we have a lot of problems and we're hoping that you could work through them with us.
Jose
You just gotta pick one of us because it's gonna be a long time.
Jeff
But there is actually a really big issue that we're looking to f today right now on the phone with one of our listeners that you went on a date with named Vincent.
Brooke
Oh, okay. This is very fascinating. Why would he contact you?
Jeff
Well, because he really had a good time with you and he was hoping to see you again for another date, but that hasn't materialized yet, so he isn't sure if there's a reason why.
Brooke
Yeah, how can I help?
Jeff
Well, maybe we could just start with what was your take on the date with Vincent? How did you feel about.
Brooke
It was fine. Fine seems like a good word for it. He seemed like a pleasant guy.
Jeff
Fine isn't usually a good word.
Alexis
I mean, we're not therapists or anything.
Jose
Well, that's.
Alexis
Why?
Jose
Is there anything bad that happened? That's a good question.
Brooke
I mean, he was a little nervous, but aren't we all when we're first.
Alexis
Meeting somebody and that could actually be kind of endearing? Because it means that he cares. Right?
Jose
That's a good point.
Jeff
You get nervous when you meet people, too?
Brooke
Sometimes.
Jose
She's a therapist. She never gets nervous, Bro.
Alexis
I don't have any issues.
Jose
No, tell us you have no issues.
Brooke
Okay, I see. So he told you what I do for a living?
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah.
Alexis
Is that okay?
Brooke
Yeah, of course he knows I'm a therapist, but he probably doesn't know I'm a past life regression therapist.
Alexis
What's that?
Jeff
A what is that?
Brooke
That I help individuals access memories or experience from previous lifetimes to address current emotional and psychological spiritual issues.
Jose
Oh, like unlock.
Alexis
Why are you acting like this is so normal?
Jose
No, because I've heard of people when they have breakthroughs, they'll be like, I unlocked this memory for my childhood.
Alexis
She's talking about life.
Jeff
Yeah, like you were a king in the 1600s.
Jose
Wait, she does therapy for other lives?
Alexis
Yes.
Jeff
How that affects who you are in this new life.
Jose
She almost got my money. I would have signed up immediately.
Jeff
Okay, well, let's be polite. This is her career.
Jose
Sorry, I didn't understand fully. Okay, so that's my apology.
Jeff
We. We did not know that.
Brooke
Some people don't understand it, but it is something I've been practicing for over a decade.
Jeff
Okay, we did not know that specific. We just heard therapist.
Brooke
Yes.
Alexis
Okay, so, wait, so what does that have to do, though, with why you aren't calling him back? Back? Well, are you just explaining that to us?
Brooke
I usually don't have a personal connection to people that I date, but in this case, I did. I was home and really thought about it, and I know this is going to sound silly. I believe in a past life, he was my dog.
Jeff
Vincent was your dog in a previous lifetime.
Brooke
I know what I know.
Alexis
How did you come to that realization? Walk us through the steps here.
Brooke
I had many memories of rubbing his belly, him licking me like a dog, and I. I know it sounds silly, but what a coincidence. I mean, this is. I've been doing this a long time, and I knew. I felt some sort of connection, and I couldn't figure it out.
Jose
He's such a good boy. He found you. After all timelines, he found you again.
Alexis
So is dating your past dog off.
Jeff
The table because in Brook's hometown, it's encouraged.
Brooke
I. I know you're having fun with this, and it seems weird.
Jeff
Well.
Brooke
But what do I say? Like, how do I tell him? I can't date him. He was once my dog.
Alexis
To your credit, you have been a really good sport with us.
Jeff
Yeah.
Jose
And we can tell you're not, like, messing with us, right?
Jeff
The good news is you don't have to figure out how to tell him, because you already have. He's actually on the other line listening to this conversation.
Jose
Stay.
Alexis
Good boy.
Ben
Good boy.
Jeff
He has been very well behaved during this entire thing. Vincent, are you there?
H
This is truly not where I thought this was.
Jose
None of us, bro.
Alexis
None of us.
Jeff
Okay, Talk to your previous owner. Say hi. Hi.
Ben
Hi, Blair.
H
So you're saying that you had, like, visions that I was your dog in another life?
Brooke
Yes. There's been multiple visions of me walking you around on a farm. Yeah. You didn't feel the connection either?
H
I mean, I didn't put two and two together with a dog.
Jeff
Blair, do you have, like, a century or a decade when this previous life happened?
Brooke
Yes. This is way back. This is the 1800s.
Jeff
The 18. Oh.
Alexis
Oh, look at that. So you're probably a working dog at that point.
H
You know, how come I'm a dog and you're a human in these visions? Was I not a human before, too?
Brooke
There's nothing wrong with being a dog. I mean, animals are such a sacred part of our living, and it's just. It's not something that you were once my dog. It's not something I now I will feel like I'm walking fields with you every time I see you. It's not something I want to have in my remote romantic relationships.
Jeff
Okay. It's not that he was a dog in a past life. It's that he was your dog.
Jose
That's well said, because you already had that connection.
Alexis
I am just trying to figure out where we go from here.
Jeff
Vincent, this all makes sense to you, right?
Alexis
Really? That's the question?
Jeff
Brooke, I need to see where his.
Alexis
Head is at or which way his tail is wagging.
Jeff
Yeah. Are you understanding what she's saying? Thing.
H
I'm. I'm hearing it. I don't know if I'm understanding that.
Jose
Okay, I think that's everybody.
Alexis
That was your first question. Not what type of dog, but you can. I mean, I've been thinking about that too, but I don't know what was popular back in the 1800s. Maybe a spaniel.
Brooke
Cattle dog.
Alexis
Cattle dog.
Ben
Okay.
Jose
A sheep dog.
Alexis
I mean, energy. Those dogs.
Jeff
Vincent, you can understand where she's coming from. If you were in her position, you wouldn't want to date a woman who had previously been your fish or your cat or something, right? That'd be weird.
H
This whole thing is we.
Ben
It's hard to believe.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jose
Yeah. What do you want him to say, I don't know. I would have dated my old cat, you know? Come on.
Alexis
I mean, if you look at it from the other perspective, right? Like, dog is man's best friend, he's loyal. Like, these are all good qualities in a relationship.
Jeff
This is Brooke advocating for a human dog.
Alexis
Yeah, I'm trying for her to give him a chance.
Ben
Thank you, Brooke.
Jeff
Okay, so, Vincent, you're still interested in dating Blair, even though previously you used to be her pet.
H
I mean, allegedly, if I was her pet, I have no memory of it.
Alexis
Well, until you go through a session with her, yeah.
Jose
Going to lock it. That's her job.
Brooke
I can absolutely help you with that. We can book a session right now.
Jeff
Well, yeah, that's great, but what we're interested in booking is a date, if you're willing to give Vincent another shot.
H
Listen, you said we had a pleasant time. Really don't think we can get past.
Brooke
I would love to have a connection, but I don't think it's best that we date.
Jeff
But maybe she'd be willing to play fetch in the park with you one.
Jose
Time for a fee.
Alexis
I wonder what we all wear in a past life.
Jose
I want to know, too. I bet I was a dog.
Jeff
No, I think you were probably a parrot. Jose.
Alexis
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, man.
Jeff
As a dude, I thought being friend zoned is bad, but being pet zoned, that's way worse.
Alexis
Or do you call it passing life zoned?
Jose
I think it's a past life.
Alexis
Oh, there it is.
Jose
Yeah, it's very specific zone.
Jeff
It is brutal. And there. And there's nothing that you can even say as a guy in that position. Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter. In her mind, you're always just gonna be that pet that she owned 200 years ago on that farm.
Jose
Dude has been trying to hump her leg for hundreds of years.
Alexis
Hard to be her and date. It's like, it's enough to know about somebody's current life, let alone all they're.
Jeff
Bringing on the baggage from all their previous lives.
Jose
Imagine being a successful doctor and she's like, yeah, but you were like a goat in the 1400s. Don't get ahead of yourselves.
Alexis
I saw you eat garbage.
Jeff
It's gonna be a tough road for her and for him. But we're always here to help. Either of them if they need help going forward, or you. You can always email the show.

The episode, titled Second Date Update Classics: Recreate the Scene + Lifetimes of Love, offers both humor and insightful advice for navigating the often tumultuous waters of modern dating.
Timestamp: [03:08] - [11:56]
Ben, a dedicated listener, shares his ambitious attempt to infuse romance into his dating life by recreating famous movie scenes with his date, Amanda. Bonding over a mutual love for cinema, Ben crafted a series of themed activities intended to make their dates memorable.
Shrek-Themed Picnic in the Swamp
Ghost Pottery Session
Spider-Man’s Upside-Down Kiss
Outcome: Despite the elaborate efforts, Amanda responded with a firm handshake instead of the planned romantic gestures. Ben reached out to the hosts seeking advice on why his creative approach didn’t yield a second date.
Quotes:
Hosts' Reactions: Brooke and Jeffrey humorously critique Ben’s grand gestures while commending his creativity and effort. They suggest that sometimes simpler, more heartfelt approaches might be more effective than elaborate reenactments.
Timestamp: [28:16] - [38:36]
Vincent recounts his first date with Blair, a professional therapist he met through a dating app. Excited yet apprehensive, Vincent found out that Blair was not only a therapist but a past life regression therapist, which added an unexpected twist to his dating experience.
Initial Meeting and Intimidation
Past Life Revelation
Outcome: Blair appreciates Vincent’s efforts but ultimately decides that dating someone who was her pet in a past life is too unconventional for her. Vincent is left feeling confused and yearning for a second chance to improve his approach.
Quotes:
Hosts' Reactions: The hosts exude a mix of empathy and humor, navigating the bizarre turn of events with light-hearted banter. They offer Vincent practical advice on how to present himself more authentically and less theatrically in future dates.
Throughout the episode, Brooke and Jeffrey explore broader themes related to dating, such as the balance between creativity and authenticity, the impact of over-preparing for dates, and handling intimidation when dating professionals or high-achievers.
Key Points:
Creativity vs. Simplicity: While Ben’s efforts were commendable, the hosts suggest that authenticity often trumps elaborate plans. Simple gestures can sometimes create a more genuine connection.
Handling Intimidation: Vincent’s story underscores the importance of being oneself rather than trying to impress excessively. Feeling intimidated can lead to behaviors that may hinder forming a meaningful connection.
Humor in Dating: The hosts leverage humor to discuss sensitive topics, making the conversation relatable and entertaining for listeners navigating similar dating dilemmas.

Brooke and Jeffrey wrap up the episode by encouraging listeners to reach out with their unique dating stories, offering a blend of humor and heartfelt advice. They emphasize that while creativity in dating can be a double-edged sword, the key lies in balancing effort with genuine connection.
