Segment 1: Rome-ANTS Isn't Dead

[04:33] – Introduction & Setting the Scene
Jeffrey: "You are about to meet one of the most unique and interesting women that we've ever had on this show ever."

• Brett's date with Taylor is described as unforgettable, mysterious, and even "hypnotizing."

Key Discussion Points

• Meeting Taylor ([06:11])
  • Brett met Taylor on a dating app; she appeared artsy, covered in paint, posing with an incredible painting.
  • He was immediately captivated, describing her as “a goddess” with a striking aura—though not his usual physical type.
• The Date ([08:13])
  • Took place at a restaurant with a deep, philosophical conversation ("talking about love and the end of time").
  • Brett admits he had trouble following some of her thinking but felt a strong connection.
  • Physical gestures were mild: dropped her off with just a kiss on the cheek ([10:26]).
• Taylor's Communication Style ([11:02])
  • Taylor spoke “mysteriously a lot." Brett liked her enigmatic way but found her hard to decode.

Memorable Quotes & Moments

• Brooke: "Did that work out for you?"
  Brett: "Not sure. You know, I did my best, but I mean, I think we had a great conversation… I don't know if I understood everything completely she was talking about." ([09:04])

• Taylor communicating through puns and riddles:
  “What do you call two Italian aunts? Rome-ANTS.” ([16:21]) Later: “It looks like some bunny loves you.” ([19:01])

• The reveal:

[Brooke]

Hey, it's your double dose on a Saturday. This is Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning and you found our podcast. We're so glad you're here. I know we got some OGs who have been with us the whole time and and new people who maybe saw a second date on tick tock or YouTube go viral, even Facebook. There's people out there in the world.

[Alexis]

That don't even know we're on the radio.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

I love your podcast. I'm like, oh, we're all these cities, they're like, yeah, wild.

[Brooke]

It's old school.

[Alexis]

Yeah, we've been here for a minute.

[Brooke]

But every Saturday we play two back to back classics and before we get to them, we love to feature some of our favorite comments. Lisa said, I don't know which is funniest, this radio show podcast or that I've been on 63 first dates only waiting for my second date update. How have we not talked to you?

[Alexis]

Oh my gosh. Never get a second date.

[Brooke]

Yes. Listen, the way to get on a second date update is we go to the website. It's brookeandjeffery.com and then you go to the submit page and that's where you can submit 63 submissions. You can put in Lisa for all those days you are doing the work to find a partner. So congratulations.

[Alexis]

Something simple.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

She's like, oh, I keep forgetting to put on clothes. Darn it.

[Brooke]

Hey, maybe they all suck. She might not be the problem.

[Alexis]

That's true.

[Brooke]

Yeah. I don't know.

I'm on your side, Lisa.

There we go. Hey, thanks for leaving the comments. Thanks for being here. We're going to start your back to back classics right now.

[Jeffrey]

How do I describe the call that you're about to hear? A few minutes. Here's what I can say about it.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You are about to meet meet one of the most unique and interesting women that we've ever had on this show ever.

[Alexis]

Wow.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

That's a fact.

[Brooke]

Yeah, definitely, definitely more interested in me now. You're welcome.

[Jeffrey]

Will you like her or will you want to drive your car into a ditch or will you? You fall somewhere in the middle?

[Alexis]

I don't think there is a middle of this.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I'm guessing you're gonna fall into one of the other extremes, so better buckle up just to be safe.

[Brooke]

Yep.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's a good call, because we get to this. It's your second date update. Next second date update. When we look back on our lives and all the people that we've dated, there's probably one that stands out as the most memorable. And it could be for a good reason or a bad reason, but it's the most unforgettable person that you've ever been out with.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

One of our listeners, Brett, says he met that person recently.

[Brooke]

What?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Already?

[Jeffrey]

And he's distraught. He used that word in his email that she's not replying back to his requests for another hangout.

[Brooke]

Now, I understand the music. When you use language like that, distraught.

[Jeffrey]

Is a pretty enormous word for this show. You're gonna have to dumb it down here on out.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Okay, yeah, I'll do my best.

[Jeffrey]

All right, we appreciate that. So start from the beginning, and in layman's terms, tell us about the woman that you went out with. What's her name?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Her name is Taylor.

[Brooke]

Oh, what a great moniker.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, what does moniker mean?

[Brooke]

That's a fancy word for name.

[Alexis]

I was like, she's a monopoly guy.

[Jeffrey]

She is fancy. Okay. How'd you meet Taylor?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

I met her on a dating app. And first of all, her picture stood out to me. She was standing in front of this just amazing painting. This huge, amazing painting.

[Brooke]

Is she an artist?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, she was, like, covered in paint and, like, brushes and had a smock on the whole deal.

[Brooke]

Cool. So she's super talented.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, she's super artsy and talented, so that stood out to me.

[Brooke]

Is there something like, are you also artsy or. I mean, what attracts you to that?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, I appreciate art a lot. I've always been kind of artsy.

[Jeffrey]

It sounds exactly like the type of women that Jose dates.

[Brooke]

Yeah, painters.

[Jeffrey]

Very artistic.

[Brooke]

He usually just dates the nude model.

[Alexis]

Yeah, no, they're body painters and stuff.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I know watercolors come into the fold somewhere.

[Alexis]

Sometimes they finger paint.

[Jeffrey]

Well, yeah. I mean, that's great. So that's something that's attractive to you.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Brooke]

Cool.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

She's somebody that I just don't usually meet on dating apps. Just, like, a certain type of quality of person.

[Brooke]

Okay, so, I mean, you're building her up pretty big before you even meet her. How are you feeling? Like Going into the first date, I was nervous as.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Because I'm not that person.

[Jeffrey]

That's the type of language that we understand on this show. We need more of that. All right, Brad.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Alexis]

She's using paint brushes. You're using Crayola crayon.

[Jeffrey]

Right.

[Brooke]

I mean, that can be intimidating, though, if somebody wants to talk art with you, and then you're like, yeah, I like colors, too.

[Alexis]

Art can be fun. And art is subjective. Right. So you can, like. I mean, so probably cheat a little bit.

[Jeffrey]

Tell us, what was the date like? Building it up pretty big.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

The date was amazing. And it was. She's not even, like. If I look at her physically, she's not even really the type of girl I would normally go for. But there was something about her, like, her presence.

[Jeffrey]

She gave you presents. That's so cool of her.

[Brooke]

That's. That's not what he meant.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Like, her aura, you know, she had, like, this vibe.

[Alexis]

Oh, she gave you aura.

[Brooke]

She's got a vibe. Like, that's cool, man. That's cool that you noticed that. That you appreciate it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Where were you getting this vibe? Like, what's the sett.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, we were in a restaurant. You know, we had a couple drinks and stuff.

[Brooke]

Okay. Did you give her that compliment?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Not. Not quite. I mean, I was just captivated the whole time. You know, I was trying not to be. Not to sound like an idiot.

[Brooke]

How did not sounding like an idiot go?

[Alexis]

That's a good question.

[Brooke]

Did that work out for you?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Not sure. You know, I did my best, but, I mean, I think we had a great conversation. I mean, we just got into really deep conversation. Like, we're talking about love and, like, the end of time and. Whoa. Yeah. And, like, if I'm totally honest with you guys, I don't know if I understood everything completely she was talking about.

[Jeffrey]

But you got to go to the bookstore, get that. End of Time for Dummies.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I like it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. I mean, you're saying a lot of nice things about her.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

You didn't understand. It's a good thing that you still vibed and liked her.

[Brooke]

What do you think she was thinking about you?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

I don't know, because just, like, the way that we were dressed, you know, I was in a baseball cap and a polo, and she's wearing this long, flowing dress.

[Brooke]

What? Oh, like a. Like a sundress? Or did she think you were going somewhere fancy?

[Alexis]

She's like, we're at the Met gala. Right.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

The only way I could describe it is that she was like, a goddess. Wow.

[Brooke]

I feel like it's still a sundress. Maybe like a wrap. Yeah, like a maxi wrap.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I'm intimidated just hearing about her.

[Brooke]

But I know you've never talked to a godd before.

[Alexis]

I wonder if we call her. She's going to have symphony music for her ringtone. You know what I mean?

[Jeffrey]

We're going to find out in just a minute. Let's talk about how the date ended that night.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Well, yeah, we talked for a really long time, and I dropped her off and I gave her a kiss on the cheek.

[Brooke]

That's sweet.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, I mean, it seemed like we both had a good time, and I said I would contact her again, but then contacting her again, I didn't hear anything.

[Brooke]

So did she ever confirm that she'd contact you back? I mean, give any indication she was looking forward to seeing you again?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

You know, if she did, I don't know if I really understood it. She was just kind of talking mysteriously a lot, and.

[Jeffrey]

But you liked that.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, but I liked it. I liked the way she talked. She was just a very mysterious person.

[Alexis]

Keeps you on your toes. I don't know what she's saying, but I like it.

[Brooke]

You were sober, right? On this date? Like, and I mean, like, not just from alcoholic sober.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

I had a few drinks, but just within the conversation. She just started a fire in me.

[Alexis]

Oh, wow.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Whoa.

[Alexis]

That's a passion feeling.

[Brooke]

Beyonce would say you're drunk in love.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You're sounding like a poet right now, Brett.

[Alexis]

My body also burns in place, too.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we might need to set you up with a doctor's appointment after this. But first, we're gonna call Taylor for you, and we'll try and get you a second date update with the mysterious goddess.

[Alexis]

Oh, I like her.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, I'm really glad because I'm so nervous. I. I don't know what I would say. I'm glad you guys are talking to her first.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we're gonna try our best. We'll do it right after this. Hold on. Second date update. We've been hearing a lot of words that we don't normally get for a second date call to describe the woman that Brett went out with the other day named Taylor. Like, mysterious goddess, hypnotizing siren.

[Brooke]

Did he say that?

[Alexis]

I didn't hear that. I agree.

[Jeffrey]

Something like that.

[Brooke]

I mean, I like it. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Long flowing dress while she ate her cheese fries.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Seductively.

[Alexis]

That's a classy lady.

[Brooke]

Dude, that's the goddess I want to be. Yeah, just the cheese fry goddess.

[Jeffrey]

This is A one in a billion type of woman, according to Brett. And he's not sure why really it works for him because this isn't the typical type of lady that he goes for.

[Brooke]

Well, maybe that's exactly why it works, right? None of the other ones have worked. That's why we're here.

[Jeffrey]

No question. He is curious about where this could take him. And, Brooke, you had some curious years, which ended up paying off in the end. So what do you think about this woman?

[Brooke]

I think she sounds amazing. Maybe she has a lot of options on dating apps. You know, like, if she's so different and she stands out so much. I'm sure you're not the only one that's noticed, you know?

[Jeffrey]

You think that's possible, Brett?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, it's very possible.

[Brooke]

Okay, so you may have some competition, but are you up for that? I think it's more. Can you keep up? Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Coming from Alexis.

[Alexis]

Yeah, that's actually.

[Brooke]

She's a little goddess too. Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

I am nervous, though, to call Taylor here if she's as amazing as you say she is. But we're going to give it our best shot.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

You guys can do this. I believe in you.

[Jeffrey]

One of us does. Here we go.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Hello.

[Jeffrey]

Hello.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

I'm looking to reach Taylor, who is calling Mask.

[Jeffrey]

Thank you. My name is Jeffrey from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Hi, Taylor. Hi.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Hi.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Hi.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Hello.

[Jeffrey]

It's a terrestrial. Oh, yes. It's nice to say hi to everybody.

[Alexis]

Top of the morning.

[Brooke]

She's not Irish.

[Alexis]

I thought that was like a.

[Jeffrey]

And we're actually doing a segment right now called a second date Update, which is a dating segment where we try and help out some of our listeners with their love lives.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

I love love.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's great. Taylor. I will tell you right now, we have done hundreds, if not thousands, these, and no one has ever had that response.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. And I'll tell you, out of all the hundreds of thousands that we've done, no listener has ever talked about a date like Brett did about you.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Oh, you want to talk about Brett?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, let's talk about Brett, baby.

[Alexis]

Let's talk about you and me.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry, that was.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

That was.

[Alexis]

That was low class.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sorry.

[Alexis]

I loved it.

[Jeffrey]

We want ask you about Brett.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Oh, well, I guess you could ask yourselves, how do French chefs make you love them?

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Sorry, what?

[Brooke]

A French chef. Is it a riddle?

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

They butter you up.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so Brett did that. He was buttering you up on the date.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

I'm not understanding.

[Brooke]

Okay, wait. Or maybe he didn't Did Brett not give you enough compliments and you didn't like it? Not enough butter? He didn't grease your wheels, or did.

[Jeffrey]

He literally just eat butter on the date?

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Let me just say this, okay? I hurt the most when I'm lost. I'm sometimes the hardest to express but the easiest to ignore. I can be given to many or just one.

[Brooke]

What am I?

[Alexis]

French fries.

[Brooke]

I'm not gonna try on this one. Hurt the most. What?

[Jeffrey]

You know, that makes a lot of sense to me when you say that, Taylor, but my co hosts seem like they're in the dark a little bit.

[Alexis]

So I think it's French fries.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

But I'm loved. I am love.

[Brooke]

Your love.

[Jeffrey]

You are love.

[Brooke]

Oh, that makes sense.

[Jeffrey]

So you like Brett.

[Brooke]

This makes sense. When we talked to Brett. Yeah. He was having a hard time describing how you felt on the date.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

You know, like, he didn't know what your vibes were. He couldn't really tell because he said you talked. You were like a mystery. You were an enigma, and seems like you're very deep.

[Jeffrey]

Can we ask you about your date with Brett? Because he told us a little bit from his perspective.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Well, I don't know if I should get into specifics, but I can tell you this.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

What do you call two Italian aunts?

[Alexis]

This is a joke. I like it.

[Brooke]

Two Italian aunts.

[Alexis]

What is it?

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Romance.

[Brooke]

Romance.

[Alexis]

Oh, Rome and ants. Rome.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, Rome is Italian.

[Brooke]

Okay, okay, okay. So you. You want to have a romantic connection with him. I don't know that he understands that. Because you're not very direct.

[Jeffrey]

Bro. Can you not judge her so much?

[Brooke]

I'm just. Honestly, I'm getting a little frustrated.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you're intimidated by her, and so you're laughing.

[Brooke]

I just. Talk to me.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

It's okay. We all have our process.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. It's very nice of you to be so understanding when my co hosts are being so not understanding of you.

[Alexis]

Straight to the point.

[Brooke]

No, it's just. It's just you said romance and ants, and, I mean, that means that you like them, right? Don't forget the butter. And the butter, like, these are all good things.

[Jeffrey]

I feel like she's just talking about her perspective of what love is in general and what's what she's searching for in a partner in the universe. Excuse me? I was talking. I was finishing my thought. And I think that as the driver of this segment, it's time to bring Brett into the conversation and see if his love fits into her love universe.

[Brooke]

Wait, that is. That could be Interpreted. I think you need to work on your poetry.

[Jeffrey]

Not quite as deep.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I bet Jose gets it.

[Jeffrey]

I'm just gonna tell Brett to come on the phone.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Brett, Hi.

[Jeffrey]

So, Taylor, the way this segment works is Brett is on the other line listening, trying to understand what's going on.

[Brooke]

As everyone is beautiful.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

That's beautiful.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you like that?

[Brooke]

It's also beautiful.

[Jeffrey]

Cool. Okay, so you two can talk to each other.

[Alexis]

Brett just wants a break.

[Jeffrey]

Let's take a breather over here.

[Brooke]

I mean, I think. Did you. Did you get what she was saying, Brett?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that makes sense to you?

[Brooke]

Could you interpret it for us?

[Alexis]

Really, Brett?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

I mean, I. I think that she was just saying that she really appreciates love and. And like, connecting with people.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Yes, Brett. Yeah.

[Alexis]

Oh, okay. I like it. They understand each other very well.

[Brooke]

That's good.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

I just want someone, maybe, Brett, maybe not to someday have rabbit friends.

[Brooke]

Rabbit friends?

[Alexis]

See radishes?

[Brooke]

No, rabbit.

[Alexis]

Oh, rabbit.

[Jeffrey]

Why rabbit friends?

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Well, because you know what the rabbit's friends say when they get a Valentine's Day card?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

What do they say?

[Brooke]

Do rabbits make a noise?

[Alexis]

Do they thump the ground? What do they do?

[Jeffrey]

What happens?

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

It looks like some bunny loves you.

[Brooke]

Some bunny loves some bunny.

[Alexis]

I like her, Brett.

[Jeffrey]

How does that resonate with you?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, I'm. I'm a person who, you know, is always diving deep into the rabbit holes of life.

[Brooke]

Right?

Okay. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, it's making sense to them. Yeah, that's what matters.

[Brooke]

Rabbits like to multiply, so maybe hair today, gone tomorrow.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Okay, so you guys are basic.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

No cap on that.

[Alexis]

Okay, bro.

[Jeffrey]

But I feel the energy vibing between you two right now.

[Brooke]

The auras are matching, you're saying?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, they're meshing the rainbow.

[Brooke]

One big aura.

[Jeffrey]

Now It's. Yeah, it's a double orgy.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Right.

[Jeffrey]

So with all that said and with all the energy in this room right now, I would like to ask, Taylor, will you go out on one more date with Brett? Because these. These are his words. He said that you started a fire within him. I'm not even making that up.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Well, let me answer your question with a question.

[Jeffrey]

I wouldn't want it any other way. Go ahead.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Did Adam and Eve ever have a date?

[Brooke]

I. There's a snake involved.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I could never be bad on a date.

[Jeffrey]

Someone pour some water on me. I know.

[Alexis]

Brooke is ra.

[Brooke]

Just trying to improve her analogies right now, so.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry. Taylor, did Adam and Eve have a date?

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

The answer is no. But they did have an apple.

[Brooke]

Ah.

[Alexis]

Okay, so it's Like a fruit.

[Jeffrey]

It's better than a date.

[Brooke]

So you want to have an apple with him?

[Alexis]

You guys would make a good pair.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Do we have gift cards for apples.

[Alexis]

Or I think Applebee's.

[Brooke]

I got some. I got an apple in the fridge right now for my lunch.

[Jeffrey]

We would love to mail you that apple for a date, Taylor. If you're up for it, it what.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Will be will be.

[Alexis]

Oh, man.

[Jeffrey]

No wonder he reached out to us for help. I'm gonna say yes, that she agreed to go out and meet up with Brett one more time.

[Alexis]

Unless this is like a bee pun joke. Honeybees, do you still want this date?

[Brooke]

It's just so exhausting. I know. I feel like we've been on the phone for two hours.

[Jeffrey]

We're. I'm calling it. We're sending you guys out one more time.

[Brooke]

Y. Applebee's.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Cool.

[Jeffrey]

It's a match made in heaven, that's for sure.

[Alexis]

Indubitably.

[Jeffrey]

Good luck. You too.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Thank you.

[Brooke]

[Jeffrey]

78592 that says, I'm pretty sure I'm the only listener left because my radio's broken and I can't change it off your channel.

[Brooke]

Oh, come on.

[Jeffrey]

We appreciate you sticking with us even if you didn't have a choice.

[Brooke]

That was nuts.

[Jeffrey]

That was out there.

[Alexis]

I liked it.

[Brooke]

You did okay. It just got a little frustrating for me at a certain point. Like, I love deep thinkers and everything, but, like, can we answer a question? Just one, not another question.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I'm going to be honest, I really don't see them actually going out again, even though I forced it at the end there.

[Brooke]

Oh, I don't think it matters what you tried to force. That woman is doing whatever she wants.

[Alexis]

Exactly.

[Jeffrey]

But here's the good news. She did save him and his feelings because she could have totally been like, oh, he's not on my level. Like, I'm a mountain and he's a lowly flower. Or what type of mountain goat is he? It could have gone that way, but she just said, what will be, will be, and that's how we should leave it.

[Brooke]

Okay. Or she just left him hanging, which kind of sucks.

[Alexis]

Or they're gonna get married. Like, who knows?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Even if they got married, he's like, did I say I do? I don't know.

[Alexis]

They ask her and she goes, do I? Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

But if you ever want to get help from this show, it couldn't possibly go any worse than that call did.

[Brooke]

Yeah, give us a call.

[Jeffrey]

So reach out to us. What's the harm? And you can find all of our second day podcasts up online, wherever you get yours at. Brooke and Jeffrey.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

I would say most of our listening audience has never been personally involved in a second date update.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's true.

[Alexis]

Well, yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. I bet it's like.05%.

[Alexis]

We have millions of listeners.

[Jeffrey]

Most people probably haven't emailed the show and haven't had to speak to our producer, thank God. But let's say you reach out to us and you get selected to do one of these with us. The bare minimum that we ask is tell us the full story and just pay attention during the call.

[Alexis]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Just focus for a few minutes while we try to help you.

[Alexis]

You should have to say that, though. They're wanting to hear these.

[Brooke]

Pretty demanding job, you think?

[Jeffrey]

I wouldn't have to say it, but that did not happen today. I think maybe it's the first time we've ever had to deal with a situation like this. You're gonna hear it in your second date update right after this second date update. Even though we already have one in our mix midst, I'm told we are not allowed to say the famous words, tell me a joke, funny guy.

[Brooke]

What?

[Alexis]

Oh, yeah, that's never fun because on.

[Jeffrey]

The phone we've got a stand up comedian.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Hey.

[Jeffrey]

You don't say that to all the stand up comics that you meet.

[Brooke]

I've never uttered that sentence in my life. Help me. A joke, funny guy.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, tell Me, a joke, funny guy.

[Alexis]

So it's like you're a comedian telling me a joke. I'm like, if you tell me you work at Subway, I'm not gonna be like, make me a sandwich.

[Brooke]

Yeah, you would. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know how it works, but let's ask the actual stand up comic who's on the phone right now to get a little bit of help. His name is Darren. Darren, welcome to the show.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Hey, how's it going?

[Brooke]

Hey. Hey, you're hilarious.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Did you like that one? That was my opener.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that was good.

[Brooke]

I liked it. I liked it a lot.

[Jeffrey]

Now, Darren, how long have you been doing the stand up comedy thing? What's your goals?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

I've been doing stand up comedy for about 10 years now. My goal is just to make people laugh. I like to let people just escape from their reality for a little while.

[Jeffrey]

You know, it's the opposite of our show. We like to bring people right back down to reality.

[Alexis]

Like minded, brother. Good luck out there, man. Yeah, you're actually probably doing better than me. What am I saying?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Who are we calling today?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you met a girl recently?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, I actually met her at a stand up show.

[Brooke]

Oh, shocking.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow.

[Brooke]

There's always girls hanging out at the end of every comedy show waiting to meet the comedian. Right? Because there's nothing sexier than a guy or a person that can make you laugh.

[Alexis]

Was she a groupie, bro?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

I mean, a lot of these girls are kind of on the sleazy side, but this is a classy girl though, so she was a rare breed.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow. What's this classy girl's name?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Erin.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

And so Darren and Aaron. Okay.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's funny. Think about that.

[Jeffrey]

That makes your celebrity nickname really easy then.

[Alexis]

It's Darren.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's Darren. That's great.

[Brooke]

So what was it like? Did you strike up conversation first or did she approach you?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, I had seen her around at a few different shows, but I hadn't really talked to her and she saw me do my act and she came up to me and told me I was funny and that was the first time I actually asked her out. But at that point she told me she doesn't date comics.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's a smart, smart choice.

[Alexis]

It is a smart choice.

[Jeffrey]

How did you respond to that?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Well, I told her that's fine cause I work construction.

[Brooke]

That was good. Okay, that was good. Do you really laugh? For sure, yeah.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

She thought that was funny. And so I finally, I get her to want to go out with me and I Don't want to take her to a bar, though. You know, I want to take her somewhere nice.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Because that's almost like just taking her to another comedy club. Comedy clubs are just huge buyers.

[Brooke]

I think a bar first date is great, but, you know.

[Alexis]

But it's like.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's like taking. It's like taking them to work.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You don't want to go to your own workplace.

[Alexis]

You said somewhere nice. What'd you do?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

So I booked this city bus tour. Just like, goes around the city.

[Brooke]

Okay. Oh, like the red buses, the two story. Yeah. Or they have the ones that can go in the water, too. The duck one.

[Jeffrey]

Darren, no offense. I thought you were saying that you were classing it up. Yeah, city bus tour doesn't come to.

[Brooke]

Mind when I think it's got an up upper deck.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, it's a British busy bus.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

This is a very classy.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

That'S what I'm imagining. Why do I feel like one of your comedian friends is the tour guide?

[Alexis]

Yeah, he keeps pulling chord.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

I didn't even know who was doing the jokes. It was just like some guy doing all kinds of corny stuff and unimpressed.

[Brooke]

That's kind of a funny date. Like, you get to see the whole.

[Alexis]

City, you know, a good date idea.

[Brooke]

A lot of time to talk and things to talk about.

[Jeffrey]

How was it? How did it go?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

It went good. It was going good at first. You know, we're going to all these cool places. We're seeing all these different sites.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

But then I thought it would be funny to get off the bus right before it left for the next stop.

[Brooke]

Wait, what?

[Alexis]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Wait, wait.

[Brooke]

With her? You mean like, oh, we're gonna get off the bus and go get a drink?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

No, she was still on the bus.

[Alexis]

Oh, brother.

[Brooke]

Were you laughing as the bus pulled away with her on it? It's one of those when she said she doesn't want to date a comic. This is one of the reasons why.

[Alexis]

Yeah, that's true. You think you're funny and you're not being funny.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

No, it looks kind of funny when I pretended to run after it.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. What did her face look like?

[Alexis]

What is pretending?

[Jeffrey]

Probably getting smaller and smaller.

[Brooke]

It gives me that imagining it.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

She was definitely surprised and she had to wait for me, like, at the next stop. And she wasn't thrilled about that.

[Brooke]

Did you tell her it was a joke or did you say, oh, my God?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

No, I did tell her it was a joke. I thought it was funny, but I ended up having to Apologize. I felt bad.

[Jeffrey]

She didn't laugh.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

No, she did not think it was funny at all.

[Brooke]

So funny.

[Jeffrey]

Usually when you explain the joke afterwards, they really burst into laughter.

[Alexis]

Alexis mentioned the thought of this gave her the ick. Do you think you gave her the ick?

[Brooke]

No, not that. Watching a man chase bus.

[Jeffrey]

Exactly.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Are you gross runner that.

[Brooke]

It was so specific. Yeah.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

I don't know if that did it, but I don't usually run, so it could have possibly.

[Alexis]

You could be like a funny runner. I've seen some dudes that I'm like, why are you flailing like that?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, maybe the unattractive running. That's the thing.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Specific to Alexis thing, though, I think.

[Jeffrey]

She'S being a runner.

[Brooke]

Since it was a hop on, hop off bus. Did you. Were you able to get it back on track, like go taker finally to dinner or a drink?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

No, not really. We didn't end up doing anything afterwards.

[Alexis]

Oh, did that ruin the vibe?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

I was kind of thinking maybe we should have just gone to a bar.

[Brooke]

In retrospect, it's a good idea.

[Jeffrey]

It's your home. It's your safe place.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

And also, you're like, at least a second date. I'll do that.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Okay.

[Alexis]

But here we are. Huh.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

So that was how it ended.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah. I mean, I liked her. She was nice. She was very smart. She was not like a lot of the other girls in the comedy scene. So.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

How long has it been since you and Aaron hung out?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

It's been like three weeks now.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Alexis]

She's not into you.

[Brooke]

Have you heard from her at all or seen her at the club? Because it sounds like she was going to the comedy club.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

She hasn't been around lately, so I haven't seen her. Oh, God.

[Brooke]

All right.

[Jeffrey]

Scared her right out of the entire comedy scene.

[Alexis]

Oh, boy.

[Brooke]

She used to love to laugh.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, just crying. Well, maybe we can cheer her up and hopefully get her to agree to another date with you when we come back and do your second date update right after this Second date update. Quick recap. If you're just joining us, we got Darren on the phone who's a stand up comedian and convinced a girl at one of his shows to go out on a date with him.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Even though she said she doesn't date sleazy comics.

[Brooke]

She didn't say sleazy.

[Jeffrey]

Well, that's implied.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

So Darren took her on a clown nasty date on a public bus tour.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Where they learned about museums and landmarks and bridges, all the sexy stuff.

[Brooke]

Technically, it's a private company that runs those, Jeff.

[Alexis]

Oh, the tours.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Alexis]

Well, just so you know, thank you for that footprint. City bus. It was a bus in the city.

[Jeffrey]

Gotcha. Excuse me. But yeah, it was a hop on, hop off bus, so he thought it'd be funny to hop off without her. And now weeks later, he. He's still trying to recover and get himself another date. So that's where we're at.

[Brooke]

If people missed the first part, he did meet back up with her that night. It's not like that was the last time he saw her.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Brooke]

How you feeling about that whole revisit of your date there, Darren? Darren?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Oh, sorry. What's that?

[Brooke]

How are you feeling about that revisit of your date there, Darren?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

You know, I thought it was okay. I mean, the part where I got off the bus obviously wasn't the best idea, but overall I didn't think it was.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, okay, bro, listen.

[Alexis]

Obviously you're a top tier comedian. The bus thing is hilarious. If this girl doesn't have a good sense of humor, do you really want to date her anyways, bro, that's true.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

That's a good point.

[Alexis]

I got your back. I got.

[Brooke]

This might be the problem with the mindset of comedians.

[Jeffrey]

I think we're gonna watch a movie and Will Ferrell is going to be chasing after like a city bus one day. We're all going to be like, oh, Darren. Darren called this.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Alexis]

The new Kevin Hart movie, City Bus Tour.

[Brooke]

We think Will Ferrell.

[Alexis]

That's a good point.

[Jeffrey]

I don.

[Alexis]

We're not hot. We're just.

[Jeffrey]

Let's just talk to your date, Aaron. We'll see if she answers and hopefully get an explanation for why she hasn't talked to you in three weeks.

[Alexis]

Oh, man.

[Brooke]

It's a long time.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Good luck.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, good.

[Alexis]

Thanks.

[Jeffrey]

Good luck to you too, man.

[Brooke]

You guys, it's break a leg.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

I mean, they say break a leg because you hope to get cast.

[Jeffrey]

It's an acting thing, not a stand up comedy thing.

[Brooke]

Stage thing. It could be a stage. Yes.

[Alexis]

If he's auditioning for snl, then it's break a leg.

[Jeffrey]

All right, well, we're gonna break a body part and we're gonna.

[Brooke]

Here. Here we go.

[Jeffrey]

We're gonna be politically correct.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Aaron?

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

This is she.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Aaron, you're on the radio right now with a show called Rook and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Hi, Aaron.

[Alexis]

Good morning, Aaron.

[Brooke]

Welcome to the show.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

What's. What's going on?

[Jeffrey]

We're doing a segment called A Second Date Update. It's a very unfunny segment that we do because we heard you're not really into laughing and stuff a lot, but we're trying to help hook you up with. That's what she said earlier.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Wait, what?

[Brooke]

You love laughing. You go to lots of comedy shows.

[Jeffrey]

But you don't date people that make you laugh.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

How did you guys get my number?

[Jeffrey]

We got it from Darren, who you went on a date with about three weeks ago.

[Alexis]

Darren the comedian?

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

My God.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Was that like, oh, my God? No.

[Jeffrey]

Didn't sound like it.

[Brooke]

I know.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

I just. That's kind of wild that he would give my number to a radio station, don't you think?

[Brooke]

Well, not really, because we do this segment, like, three times a week.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. This has been going on for decades at this point. But the reason that he gave us your number is because he had a really nice time with you when the two of you went out on that bus tour.

[Brooke]

Oh. And he said nice things about, like, how classy you were and smart and.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

It sounds like he's probably told you a lot already. I don't know exactly how much he shared with you about our first date.

[Jeffrey]

Just hit the highlights. It was a city bus tour. There was an awkward moment that we kind of mentioned before about him, like, hopping on and off the bus as.

[Brooke]

Like, a joke, and as you drove away, still on the bus, he thought that'd be funny, and he said that you didn't find that very humorous.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Yeah. Okay, good. So he did tell you that.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

I mean, like, I like to laugh and everything, but just imagine being in my shoes watching your date, kind of like, sort of not pointing and laughing, but like, being outside of a bus watching you. I mean, I was horrified. Like, I. We drove together, so I was like, am I gonna now be stuck alone in his car when I get back to it?

[Brooke]

You're in, like, panic mode.

[Alexis]

It's not funny to you?

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

No, we. And we definitely don't have that much history to even be kind of pulling those types of jokes.

[Alexis]

Yeah, good point.

[Brooke]

But he did say that he apologized that night.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

I mean, he did. He definitely did. And he caught up with me, so it ended up being fine. And, like, I don't want to, like, hurt anybody's feelings. I just. I think the best way to say it is, like, we just don't really.

[Brooke]

Vibe comedians don't have feelings.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Anyway, so what are you gonna do?

[Jeffrey]

Look, I. I understand that sentiment. That's really nice of you to, like, keep his feelings in mind, but he's really confused. He's hoping to get a little bit of insight as to why you've, you know, not talked to him in the last three weeks so that maybe he could find some closure.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

All right, well, since he decided to call you guys and ask for it, I mean, I'll tell you. But honestly, I think he's funnier on stage than he is in person. And that's. It's only like on stage when it's scripted and they've had time to rehearse this bit that they're, like, funny. And maybe I just didn't get to see that side of him. So I don't want to say, like, he's not a funny person. I'll just say he's not my kind of comedy.

[Alexis]

That's a great observation. Most people think comedians walk on stage and guess, like, these guys have practiced their jokes for months sometimes to deliver.

[Brooke]

It's still not fun to hear, you know, to hear you're not funny comedian. You know, someone's going to find sucks.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he knows. And.

[Alexis]

Oh, actually, he does know.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he. He kind of does know that now because the way that the segment works, Aaron, is we have Darren listening on the other line.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Oh, I bet he's just laughing and laughing right now. He's already writing a new set with. With this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Alexis]

Use it for fuel, bro.

[Jeffrey]

Is that. Darren, are you there? You cracking up?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, sorry. So what. What happened?

[Brooke]

What?

[Alexis]

Wait, what?

[Jeffrey]

Were you listening?

[Brooke]

You didn't hear her?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Yeah, I was busy. I was doing something around the house. You guys are taking forever.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, it's kind of important. The whole reason you called us was so that you could hear her explanation.

[Brooke]

But is this another add comedian? Because we already have one of those.

[Jeffrey]

Listen, Darren, talk to Aaron.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Hey, Darren, it sounds like maybe you didn't hear any of that, so that's probably for the best.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

But yeah, I was just wondering, like, you know, what happened.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God.

[Brooke]

Okay, we've gone over this already.

[Alexis]

All right, That's a good question. It's a very important question.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe if you tell the story a few more times, it'll sink in for him. But. Go ahead, Aaron.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Darren, when you hopped off of the bus, the tour operator really put me at ease, like, both with jokes. And he was also just really, really nice. And I think it's probably. It's probably fair for me to tell you that he asked for my phone number.

[Alexis]

Oh, my God, the tour guide.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Good on him. Yeah, I just thought he was so funny and like, oh, God, we have been out a couple of times, and I just don't quite feel right talking to anybody else.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Same tour guide, right? This is the tour guide from the bus with the pretzel jokes and the kazoo.

[Alexis]

Yeah, those are kind of corny tours.

[Jeffrey]

I'm kind of laughing just thinking about it. I haven't even heard what he says.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

That's your kind of comedy. That's. He's not even a real comedian. I'm out there every day, grinding, honing my craft. This guy is a half. Are you kidding me?

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Wait, well, Darren, Darren, while you're honing your craft, working in a quiet room, he's out there actually performing every day.

[Alexis]

That's an observation.

[Brooke]

I mean, it's a lot of crowd.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Work doing observational humor for people on the sidewalk. Museum jokes.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Do you know how hard it is to make history funny? And he does.

[Alexis]

Dude, she's awesome. She's got his back, too.

[Brooke]

Does that hurt worse than her just not going out with you, Darren?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Well, I mean, she said she doesn't date comics. I guess she's sticking with that. This guy is definitely not.

[Jeffrey]

All right. He got a good one in there. Look, Darren, this is the point where normally I'd ask to send you two out on a date and we'd offer to pay for it, but I think before I do that. Now that you've heard. Well, I guess kind of heard you missed most of it. But now that you know that the girl that you dated is hooking up with the corny tour guide from the bus. Wow. Do you still want us to ask her out for you?

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Anybody who's into tour guide humor, I'm going to have to probably pass on.

[Brooke]

Really? I wanted, like, a joke off between the two of us, but she's already seen his jokes and she clearly thinks this guy's better.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

Oh, you know, if he doesn't have any jokes, how can we have a joke off?

[Jeffrey]

Well, maybe. Darren, quick hop off the phone and then back on like he did on the. On the bus.

[Alexis]

We'll stay here.

[Brett / Darren (varies by segment)]

That'd be hilarious.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, try it. Are you gone?

[Brooke]

Oh, well, I guess good luck, Aaron, with your new boyfriend.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Oh, no. I'm devastated it didn't work out with Darren.

[Jeffrey]

She's funny, too.

[Taylor / Aaron (varies by segment)]

Not the only one with jokes.

[Brooke]

Yeah, dude. I mean got him a great shot.
