Episode Overview

This episode features two classic, holiday-themed "Second Date Updates," where the Brooke and Jeffrey team attempts to solve listeners' awkward dating mysteries. Both segments highlight the hilarious, sometimes painful fallout that comes when a promising first date is followed by radio silence—and the show tries to uncover the truth behind the ghosting. The stories are filled with holiday mishaps, gift-giving snafus, and a reminder of how misunderstandings or misplaced expectations can turn a potential romance into a "never again."

Segment 1: The Boy Who Cried Tree

(Starts ~02:47)

Main Storyline

• Brian returns as a repeat "Second Date Update" subject, seeking help after being ghosted post-date by Aubrey.
• He reached out to Aubrey after seeing her in a coworker's Instagram photo, learning she'd be spending her first Christmas away from family.
• To cheer her up, Brian invited her to a Christmas tree farm outing, hoping to make her season a little brighter.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

• Brian and Aubrey both wore festive Christmas sweaters ("Jingle & Single" for him; hers said "Santa's favorite. Ho, ho, ho." 07:00).
• They turned the outing into a mini celebration with some airplane bottles of whiskey to "loosen up" the mood.
• They find the "perfect tree," but Brian is shocked by the price and hesitates; Aubrey offers to split the cost.
  • Memorable moment (07:59):
    Brian: “She saw the look on my face when I saw that price tag and she was like, 'Alright, we're definitely splitting this.' Yeah, I was like, 'Yeah, we are.'”
• Brian helps set up the tree at Aubrey’s place but doesn’t stay to decorate—she says she has dinner plans. Afterward, she stops responding to messages.

Notable Quotes & Humor

• Brooke (about ghosting): “I feel like we cursed your love life and you're just stuck with us.” (04:54)
• Brian: “Actually, I emailed all the other morning shows, but you're the only ones that responded.” (05:02)
• The hosts tease Brian about making them “side characters” in his dating dramas and their low success rate:
  “Well, we have very low standards here, so welcome back...” (05:08)

The Reveal – Why Aubrey Ghosted (13:10–19:23)

• Aubrey explains she went back on the lot to look for a missing glove and encountered a six-year-old boy crying—he said Brian and Aubrey took the tree he was standing by and claimed as his own (14:03).
• Aubrey confronts Brian, who refuses to take the tree down:
  Aubrey: “There is a six year old little boy crying at Christmas time. Like, I don’t freaking care if you didn’t see him...”
• Brian’s defense:
  “Well, how did I cut one? I didn’t cut down the little boy's tree because he didn't pay for it.” (16:21) “Kids are standing next to every tree. So does that mean that's their tree too?” (16:52)
• The debate escalates: Is it heartless to keep the tree, or was the dad using his son’s tears to avoid paying for an expensive tree?
• Aubrey is turned off by Brian’s lack of holiday spirit and empathy:
  Aubrey: “We had an opportunity to do something really kind for a child at Christmas... and you chose not to do it.” (18:12)

Classic Rejection & Aftermath

• Hosts attempt a guilt trip:
  “There is a sad boy on the other line who cannot get another date with a woman that he really likes. And all he wants for Christmas is one more date...” (18:39)
• Aubrey declines:
  Aubrey: “It's gonna be a hard pass.” (19:39)
• Brian gamely sings Wham!:
  Brian: “Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away.” (20:02)
• Brooke: “Now, now there's a whole studio full of sad radio hosts... Good job, Aubrey.” (19:45)
• Aubrey: “I think there's a pattern here. Yeah, it's not me. It's Brian.” (19:55)

Segment Summary

• The hosts reflect humorously afterward about "kids crying at the tree farm" (22:01) and debate whether kids’ reactions should dictate adult decisions:
  Brooke: “Kids cry all the time… If we did everything based on what would upset a child, no one would do anything in this world.” (22:10)
• Brian leaves still loveless, and the team is now "0 for 2" with his second date updates.

Segment 2: Deck The Mall

(Starts ~24:03)

Main Storyline

• Para seeks help after being ghosted by Bryce, whom she met via office matchmaker Jana at a work holiday party.
• Bryce invites Para to go Christmas shopping at the mall, which stretches into a five-hour marathon.
• They browse for gifts for his family, look at "cute, sexy outfits" (which Bryce has her hold up to herself for jokes/flirting), and enjoy a meal in the food court.
• At the end, Bryce says he’ll “circle back” with Jana and thank her, then disappears from communication. Jana also starts avoiding Para.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

• Para shares how she misread the signals, thinking the marathon shopping trip was fun and flirty.
• The hosts wonder: is it a real date, or did Bryce have ulterior motives?

Notable Quotes & Humor

• Alexis: “This is like a 1996 date all over again.” (28:03)
• Para (on Bryce’s weird closing comment): “He said he was going to circle back with Jana and thank her for introducing us... It comes off so businesslike.”
• The panel jokes about office matchmakers, questionable Secret Santa arrangements, and the misery of five hours at the mall.

The Reveal – Why Bryce Ghosted (32:04–39:08)

• When contacted, Bryce is surprised by the call and says flatly he’s not interested:
  “I got all my Christmas shopping done. That was cool. She was really helpful.” (33:00)
• Bryce admits: He has a girlfriend (Helen), and Jana recommended Para as a great "personal shopper" because she always gave great Secret Santa gifts. He assumed Para understood the arrangement.
• Para is shocked—it wasn’t made clear, and all her signals were missed. The "flirting" was, in her mind, real.
• The money for her time: Bryce supposedly gave Jana $50 to "pass on" to Para for her time; Para never got it.
• Para calls this "sketchy" and feels used; host Alexis points out, “Jana is the scandalous one!” (37:24)
• Bryce admits he probably should have been clearer and chalks the debacle up to miscommunication but offers no real apology.

Classic Rejection & Aftermath

• Para: “No chance,” on a future date, but jokes she’ll help him shop "as long as we’re very clear that’s what it is.” (39:14)
• Hosts riff on the bathrobe shopping and “old lady” names and even poke fun at Bryce’s cluelessness and Helen’s possible reaction.

---

Notable Quotes, Banter & Memorable Moments

• Brian (when pressed about other morning shows):
  “Actually, I emailed all of them, but you’re the only ones that responded.” (05:02)
• On holiday tree pricing:
  Brian: "It was like in three figures. It was pretty high." (07:38)
• Aubrey: “We had an opportunity to do something really kind for a child at Christmas time, and you chose not to do it.” (18:12)
• On the shopping date:
  Para: "We did look at some really cute, sexy outfits, but he had me put them up to me and, you know, he complimented me...” (27:04)
• Bryce (on the supposed payment):
  “I actually gave some money to Jana that I intended her to give to Para...” (34:04)
• Alexis concludes: “Jana’s the scandalous one!”

Whether it’s fighting over a Christmas tree with a sobbing child or serving as an unpaid “personal shopper,” the pain of modern dating is real—but at least it makes for some hilarious radio, and maybe a few lessons for future holiday daters.

Enjoy a Coca Cola for a pause that refreshes. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. This is Technical Director Ashton coming at you with another classic second date update. And just for all you ladies out there, if you like this second date, you like what the guy did on the second date, give me a call Most of the time, if you go to a business for some help and they provide horrible service, completely let you down and leave you off worse than when you came in, wow. That would be the end of it. You would never go back again.

[C]

Yeah, totally.

[B]

You go places for help, right? Not the other way.

[A]

That's why we were so surprised after we totally botched a second date for a guy a few months ago. And he's asking us for another one today.

[C]

Yeah, we're free. He's not paying for it, so maybe that's why he's still here.

[A]

I mean, at this point, I'm not sure if he's just trolling us or if he really, really enjoys the punishment, but his name's Brian and. And we're going to hear about his holidate that he had at a Christmas tree farm the other day. And we promise to give at least 30% effort. Well, Brooke, 22%.

[B]

Okay. All right.

[A]

We don't want to stretch ourselves too far for this.

[C]

I'm pretty tired right now during the holiday. Okay, can I just. 17.

[A]

Okay.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

We're going to muster whatever little strength that we have left. Okay, let's do this in your second date update. That's coming up next. Second date update. Today we actually have a repeat customer for a second date update.

[B]

Oh, no way.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Is that allowed?

[C]

I just don't think things are going very well for them then.

[A]

Well, he called in about five months ago.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

When he got side eyed during sushi by another woman that he ghosted. Remember that?

[C]

I don't remember. We do.

[B]

So many.

[A]

Well, I guess we couldn't get him another date there, but apparently there's a new lady who's caught his attention and he wants our help again, so we're welcoming back. Brian. Brian, welcome back. Man. You must really have faith in us for some reason. I know.

[B]

We couldn't even help you last time.

[G]

I believe in you guys. I believe in you.

[H]

Okay?

[B]

That's a second chance.

[C]

I feel like we cursed your love life and you're just stuck with us.

[B]

Now he's like, I'm trying other morning shows, but you're the only ones that like me.

[G]

Actually, I emailed all of them, but you're the only ones that responded.

[A]

Yeah, well, we have very low standards here, so welcome back and tell us about the girl that you met this time. What's her name?

[G]

All right, so her name is Aubrey.

[C]

Okay.

[G]

I saw a picture on my coworker's Instagram. She was tagged in it.

[A]

Oh, nice.

[G]

You know, I Got into detective mode and clicked the tag and went on her page.

[B]

And I love it when girls tag their friends, because some girls will have a really hot friend, but they won't tag them. And I'm like, how am I supposed to creep on your friend if you don't tag her?

[E]

Okay, so rem.

[H]

I mean, not to tag my friend.

[A]

Any photos, so that's not okay. From a woman's perspective, is it cool if a guy reaches out to you?

[C]

I mean, it depends on how hot he is, right?

[B]

Yeah, that's always the answer.

[A]

Brian, I know you're super handsome, so you're safe. What did Aubrey say when you reached out?

[G]

Well, I slid in a dm. She didn't seem to be attached to anyone. And I found out this is gonna be her first Christmas alone. Cause she's actually moved, and she's gonna be away from her family.

[C]

Aw, that's too bad.

[B]

She should get used to being alone like me.

[A]

Was she sad about that, or was she happy about it?

[G]

She was a little distraught.

[C]

Okay, I can see. Okay, so you. You're like, this is my moment. I'm gonna do something holiday for her. Is that what you're thinking?

[I]

Of course.

[G]

I offered to take it to a Christmas tree farm to get her a tree.

[C]

Aw.

[G]

So at least she had the season to be jolly Phil with a tree in the house.

[C]

That's cute, too. And I feel like you can be vouched for, right? Like it's not just some rando coming into her DMs like it's her coworker'.

[A]

So how did the Christmas tree farm go?

[G]

It was great. It was great. So what we did, we wore our silly Christmas sweaters.

[C]

Oh, nice.

[G]

And I wore my sweater set up. Jingle and single.

[B]

I want to do this now.

[G]

Her said, Santa's favorite. Ho, ho, ho.

[C]

Nice.

[G]

I knew it was going to be an awesome time, so I bought a little bit of those. You know, those small bottles they have on the airplane of alcohol?

[C]

Yeah, Shooters.

[H]

Yeah.

[G]

Yeah, I bought a couple of those. I bought, like, four or five whiskey bottles, and it loosened both of us up. We had such a great time.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

I mean, that's a really cute date. I mean, what was the highlight of it all for you?

[G]

Well, she found a tree that she loved, love, loved. So I offered to buy it for her. And I saw the price tag and.

[A]

Was like, whoa, how much do trees cost?

[C]

Oh, my God. We just got one this weekend. It was 85 bucks.

[A]

Whoa.

[G]

It was, like, in three figures. It was pretty high.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[C]

Oh, yeah, ours was only like 5 foot tall. Like, if you're thinking 8ft or something, that's expensive.

[A]

Oh, that's not a good look. When you offer to pay for something, you're like going back on it afterwards.

[B]

Actually, for dinner, seeing the bill.

[C]

Actually, he just saw, you know, a foot off the top.

[A]

This one's actually a three footer now.

[G]

Yeah, well, it's funny because she saw the look on my face when I saw that price tag and she was like, all right, we're definitely splitting this. Yeah, I was like, yeah, we are.

[A]

All right.

[B]

You paid for half of her tree. That's actually really nice.

[A]

Okay, but was that the end of the date, you bought her the Christmas tree and that was it?

[G]

No, no, we tied that bad fella to the top of the car, drove it to her place and set it up.

[C]

Oh, cute.

[B]

You really went all out, bro.

[C]

I mean, now I don't know how to do that.

[B]

I would have been like, okay, good luck.

[E]

You can't just ditch her with the tree.

[C]

But it's like you're like fully invested. This is hours of a date. And. And I also feel like it's like a personal thing to like, set up a Christmas tree with somebody.

[B]

Like, it's your tree. Put it up together.

[G]

Well, we put it up together, but I wanted to stay and decorate it, but she said she had dinner plans and she ended date like that. And I'm like, okay, cool. She may have had pre existing plans, but I've been texting and calling and nothing.

[C]

Oh, so you didn't decorate the tree?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Maybe she didn't want that commitment with you.

[A]

Do you think that she was telling the truth? Do you think she really had plan or you think that was a lie to get out of it?

[G]

I. I don't know. I felt like the girl at the sushi restaurant and I was hoping you guys could help me.

[A]

All right. And there was no women, like, side eyeing you at the Christmas tree farm from like behind another tree. We're not gonna do the same call again, are we?

[G]

No, no Side eyes?

[A]

No. Okay, well, thank God. Let's play a song. We'll come back, we'll call Aubrey for you, we'll try to get your second date update. Okay.

[G]

Hey, can you play All I want for Christmas?

[A]

No, we don't take requests. No, we are.

[B]

We deleted that out of our.

[A]

You'll hear what you hear and you're gon like it.

[G]

Santa Claus, come to the ghetto. Snoop Dogg.

[A]

You can wrap that to yourself while you're on hold, and then we'll come back, we'll do your second date update. All right, Let's do it. Next Second date update. Has the Hallmark channel already done the 12 dms of Christmas?

[C]

No, but I like it.

[A]

I mean, they should.

[B]

Yeah, they should, because one of our.

[A]

Listeners, Brian, met a woman on Instagram recently, took her to a Christmas tree farm because this is going to be her first holiday spent away from her family.

[C]

Oh, it's so sweet. It's, like, thoughtful. It's fun.

[A]

Absolutely. But there was an embarrassing moment where he offered to pay for the tree for her and then saw the price tag, so I had to dial it back and instead just went Dutch. Anyway, ever since that happened, he's had a hard time getting a hold of her. Now he's asking us for a little bit of help. Yes.

[C]

Do you think it's that. Do you think it's the. You didn't pay for the full tree?

[G]

Yeah, I hope I didn't come off looking like a cheapskate, but I don't think so.

[B]

Bought a fake tree off Amazon and solved it.

[C]

I mean, cheapskate is something we can fix, though. Yeah, definitely true, you know. Well, we're paying for the meal at the end of this, so I think.

[G]

Oh, well, yeah, if you're paying, we're gonna go to a nice spot.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[A]

We got you covered, Brian. But let's see what Aubrey has to say. We're gonna dial her number right now. All right, now, here we go.

[I]

Hello?

[A]

Hello, is this Aubrey?

[H]

Yes, it is.

[A]

Aubrey, did you buy a Christmas tree recently? I'm calling from the tree farm. We found out that there's a problem with your tree. We need it back, please.

[H]

It needed back? What?

[B]

It's like a family of woodpeckers living in endangered woodpeckers.

[C]

Yeah, that's why.

[A]

No, I'm sorry. I'm just kidding, Aubrey. My name's Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[J]

Okay.

[A]

Somehow I just made it worse. No, we're doing something on our show called a second date. Have you ever heard of that before?

[H]

No, I have not.

[A]

Okay, well, recently you went out with one of our listeners, and he's been trying to get a hold of you. Just have a little bit of trouble doing it. His name's Brian.

[C]

Oh, does that whole Christmas tree thing at the beginning make sense now?

[H]

Yeah, sure.

[A]

Yeah. Well, what we're doing here is we're trying to help Brian figure out why you're kind of ghosting him after your Date?

[H]

Well, yeah, that would be because I'm not interested in talking to him again.

[C]

Oh, wow.

[A]

Oh, that's strong.

[C]

Really? Because, like, he sounded so thoughtful. I mean, he said that he took you to the tree farm because you were kind of sad about not having the, you know, family for the holidays and stuff.

[A]

Is it because he's poor?

[H]

I'm not really sure. What all he told you about the date.

[A]

Okay, well, he told us that you went to a Christmas tree farm together. He got you a tree, offered to buy it in full, but then saw the price tag and you ended up having to go Dutch instead.

[C]

Well, she offered. You offered to go Dutch?

[H]

He said, yeah, I did. Yeah.

[A]

Okay, you did do that. And then afterwards, he drove the tree back to your place and put it up for you, but you had to go to dinner and couldn't stay longer and decorate it with him. Is all that right?

[H]

Well, technically, yeah, but I think he left something out of the story.

[A]

Oh, no.

[C]

What did he do? What did he leave out?

[H]

So after we loaded the tree onto the car, we were getting ready to go, and I put my hands in my pockets to make sure I had my gloves, and I only had one, so I just said, I'm gonna go back and look for my gloves. You know where we were. So he stayed at the car. I walked back over to where we were looking at trees, and I see this little boy standing there, maybe six years old, crying, and he has my glove in his hand. And I'm like, oh, my gosh, what is wrong? Like, are you okay? What happened? And so he looks at me and points at me, and he says, that lady and her boyfriend took my tree. And I was like, oh, no.

[C]

What? Like. Like, he just liked that one out in the lot. And then he saw you guys cutting it down instead of him or something.

[H]

Well, so his dad said, well, my son told me that he was standing by a Christmas tree. It was the one that we had picked out, and I was going to get this people to get the tree, and you guys came and took it even though he was standing there. And I was like, oh, my God.

[C]

Did you not notice a little boy crying next to the tree, chopping it down?

[B]

I think it was your day crying.

[H]

I didn't see any little boy.

[A]

Oh, so you're calling the little boy a liar?

[H]

No, no, but I wasn't the one cutting the tree down. Like, once we decided on it, I left and went to look at, like, wreaths and stuff that were for sale. And he was the one sawing the tree down.

[C]

Oh, no. So you're saying you think that this little boy isn't mistaken? You're believing the six year old that your date went and cut down the little boy's tree after you left?

[H]

I'm not saying that he did it on purpose, but I am telling Brian this and I'm like, there's this little boy and he's crying and he says this was his Christmas tree. And Brian was like, I didn't see any little boy. Like, too bad news. You lose. I mean, I mean, it's just a freaking tree. I didn't care if it was. That was the one we got or not. He was like, I'm not doing that. I'm not taking this thing off the car. We spent 20 minutes getting this thing. Oh my God.

[C]

It's like you guys are in a real relationship. Yeah, like they're fighting at the end of the Christmas tree.

[A]

Are you dating a 6 year old?

[I]

Are you dating me?

[A]

Okay, and so the fact that he wouldn't give the tree back to the little boy and his family, that's why you're turned off by Brian?

[C]

Yeah, I could see that.

[H]

Heartless. Can you be? I mean, a six year old is crying in the middle of a Christmas tree.

[B]

Imagine he's like, shut up. I'm trying to cut this tree down.

[A]

Well, maybe it's just a misunderstanding and there's some miscommunication here. And the perfect way to sort this out is just by putting you on the phone with Brian, who is actually already on the phone.

[G]

I've been listening the entire time.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

Oh my gosh. What a huge miscommunication.

[A]

Oh, really?

[C]

Okay. Do you hear that?

[G]

Well, how did I cut one? I didn't cut down the little boy's tree because he didn't pay for it.

[C]

Oh, whoa, wait a minute. I thought you were gonna come in here.

[G]

Well, well, hold on. Technically, you cannot cut down the tree until you purchase it. I had the receipt in hand when I cut down the tree. The boy was looking at the tree, but it was not his tree.

[A]

Okay, so you did see the little boy, though, crying next to it. While you were sawing it down, there.

[G]

Were kids standing next to every tree. So does that mean that's their tree too?

[A]

There's crying kids all over this tree farm. How am I supposed to know?

[C]

I mean, that kind of. Yeah, but you can see where she's coming from, right? Like she just was confronted by a crying little boy and the father and then.

[G]

Well, hold on. The father? The father Wasn't all that confrontational. The bother look, kind of relief that I saved him from buying such an expensive tree.

[A]

Aubrey, is that the read that you're getting? Aubry?

[H]

I think we're missing the point here. There is a six year old little boy crying at Christmas time. Like, I don't freaking care if you didn't see him or like this little boy.

[G]

I was more concerned his father couldn't do something to stop him from crying.

[C]

Oh, so wait, now you're saying he's a bad parent?

[A]

He's raised an entitled child who believes that he deserves the tree.

[C]

I mean, I'm kind of with him on that point. Like, my kids wanted a bigger, more expensive tree at the tree lot, and we're like, no, that's not happening.

[A]

Your kids are used to crying all the time.

[C]

Did he cry about it?

[G]

I think that's what happened. I think his father probably told him no to that tree because of the price tag on it. And he just. He was playing. He was playing that kid making us look like the bad guy so he didn't look like the back.

[H]

The point here is that we had an opportunity to do something really kind for a child at Christmas time, and you chose not to do it.

[C]

And you.

[H]

Hold on, Wait, hold on.

[G]

We were on a date. This is not Make a wish.

[H]

You're not making it. You're not making it any better by actually.

[C]

And now every time Aubrey goes into her house, you. She makes it a tainted Christmas tree.

[A]

You know what, Aubrey? Aubrey, here's a chance for you to take your own advice here. There is a sad boy on the other line who cannot get another date with a woman that he really likes. And all he wants for Christmas is one more date and we will pay for it. Oh, are you gonna be a good person here, Aubrey? Are you gonna be a Grinch?

[B]

He may cry.

[H]

Oh, my gosh. Are you serious?

[A]

I know when you frame it like that, it's hard to say no.

[C]

I mean, I will say Bren really does. He was trying to do something kind. Maybe he's got a little more sterner approach to children than you do.

[B]

He was more focused on you than his environment.

[A]

Yeah, that boy probably isn't a very good kid anyway. He's probably a little spoiled, Br.

[G]

He could have stolen your glove for all we know.

[A]

He was holding on to your glove, Aubrey.

[C]

Little teeth. Screw that kid.

[A]

You should really rub it in that kid's face by going out with Brian again one more time on our bill.

[H]

It's gonna be a hard Pass.

[F]

Really?

[C]

No Christmas miracle?

[A]

How does she look?

[B]

Like the Grinch.

[A]

Now, now there's a whole studio full of sad radio hosts who are just upset because we couldn't get our listener another date again. Good job, Aubrey.

[H]

I think there's a pattern here. Yeah, it's not me. It's Brian.

[B]

Oh, come on, Brian.

[G]

Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away.

[A]

Okay, Brian's been drinking all morning.

[G]

I need a drink now.

[C]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

I don't know about you guys, but I love to buy gifts. I love it so much. I love it so much more than getting gifts.

[A]

Ever since we did that call, Brooke has still been saying that she doesn't care that the kid was crying. She kind of thinks that he deserves it.

[C]

I mean, kids cry all the time, Jeffrey, so it doesn't count. Well, I mean, Alexis, if we did everything based on what would upset a child, no one would do anything in the this world.

[A]

Yeah, the world would be a better place like that. Just don't do anything at all.

[C]

Like he can get a different Tree? Yeah, I think that's already on top of the car. I wouldn't take it down either.

[A]

Let him take your car home then. At least that would have been in the true spirit of Chris.

[C]

Generous jab.

[A]

But of course, with people like Brooke on the show, we're unable to get a second date update for our friend Brian.

[C]

I tried for Brian. I. Yeah.

[A]

So we're now 0 for 2 with Brian. I wonder if he'll call back for a third time.

[B]

Who knows?

[C]

Remember at the beginning of all this, he was the one ghosting women.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

The tables have turned.

[B]

Yeah, but that's called Christmas karma.

[A]

There it is. But you know what? If you're like Brian, you need help reaching out to someone after a date, email us. We'll call the person who isn't calling you back.

[C]

We're obviously very good at it.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[A]

I know how awkward it can be dating somebody in your own office, but you know, especially around the holidays.

[B]

Oh, wow.

[A]

Like just the other day, there was mistletoe hanging from one of Alexis's fake eyelashes.

[C]

Oh, that's what that was.

[A]

I don't even know if she realized it was there.

[B]

Yeah, she has to kiss everybody.

[C]

It looked cute though, right, Jose?

[A]

Sure noticed it.

[C]

How did you get. How did you get sound of that happening?

[A]

There's also a microphone stuck in her fake eyelash too.

[B]

It was in the other eye.

[A]

So it's super awkward that our co host and our an item. But just imagine if you went out with someone at your work and after the hangout, multiple people are now avoiding you.

[C]

Oh, avoiding you.

[A]

That's what happened to one of our listeners. And we're about to find out why and see if we can get her another shot in a holiday edition of Second Date Update.

[C]

I was gonna say, at least get her Alexis's lash lady number.

[A]

Yeah, we gotta get some help for her. That's coming up next. Second date update. The holidays are a time for family, for giving.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

For playing your favorite Christmas songs on repeat with rapper Little John in the background.

[C]

I miss that silent night.

[H]

Yeah.

[B]

That's lot a silent.

[A]

Yeah. Nothing says the holidays for me like an Atlanta rapper putting on another U log.

[C]

Why are you bringing up Little John and how he spends his holidays?

[A]

I'm saying the holidays, they're different for everybody.

[I]

What?

[A]

I. I said the holidays are different for everyone. Little John.

[B]

What?

[A]

They're different for everyone. Okay.

[C]

This whole time he just had hearing problems.

[A]

We've got a listener on the phone for a very special holiday Edition of a second date update. Her name is Para. So, para, welcome to the show.

[I]

Oh, my gosh.

[C]

Oh.

[A]

What? Para, what's up?

[J]

Hey, good morning.

[C]

Yeah, happy holidays, Para.

[J]

Hey, thanks.

[A]

So tell us about why you emailed us for a second date update. Who'd you meet?

[J]

Yeah, so I met this guy. His name's Bryce. We work in the same building, but we hadn't officially been introduced. I guess, like we knew who each other were, but we were at a celebration for the holidays. It was a work party.

[C]

Oh, yeah. Okay.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Perfect. Yeah. Perfect opportunity.

[J]

Yeah. So he approached me and it's kind of weird that he told me that he heard about me from Jana. She's another girl we work with, but I don't really know her very well either.

[A]

Oh, someone's playing matchmaker at your company.

[C]

Office gossip.

[A]

I like, always tries to do that with our other co workers at the.

[C]

Office holiday party too.

[J]

Yeah, you know, I think it helps that he was very attractive. If otherwise, I'm not sure I would be too happy that Jana was talking about me to the strangers.

[B]

She's like, don't hook me up with. Oh, it's that guy.

[A]

Yeah.

[J]

Oh, okay.

[B]

John comes in.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

So how did that. How did that go? You and Bryce hit it off?

[H]

Yeah, we did.

[J]

So he invited me to go Christmas shopping with him.

[C]

What? That's kinda cute.

[J]

Yeah, I've never been asked out that way before, so I thought, you know, it would be kind of cool to get to know each other and so it's not so like, formal. But we were there for like five hours.

[A]

Okay, that sounds like a nightmare.

[C]

He didn't say, like, I really gotta find something for my wife. Right. Kind of ruined the mood.

[B]

Diamond earring shopping?

[C]

Yeah. Who were you shopping for?

[J]

I guess we were just shopping for, like, his family and stuff like that. We did look at some really cute, like, sexy outfits, but he had me put them up to me and, you know, he complimented me and was being really flirtatious.

[C]

Did he buy you any of them?

[J]

No, it was our first date, so I think he was just trying to be flirty and cute and just kind of hit the touch barrier and stuff like that.

[C]

Okay, I'm picturing lingerie. Is anyone else or is it like just a cute dress?

[A]

Is a robe considered lingerie in your house?

[B]

It's a silk robe.

[C]

I mean, it's got to be tiny if it's going to be considered lingerie and sexy. Otherwise it's like, oh, you look hot in this very large cherry cloth.

[A]

Which one Was it.

[J]

You know, we looked at many different things. It wasn't just like, one specific type of outfit or anything like that. We were there for many hours, and.

[C]

He had the stamina for that. I swear to God, I go to the store with my husband and 20 minutes in.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, my gosh.

[G]

Yeah.

[C]

I mean, did you guys at least go get food somewhere?

[J]

We did. We ate at the food court about halfway through. Just kind of talked about work and stuff like that.

[C]

This is like a 1996 date all over again.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Hitting up the Orange Julius?

[A]

Yeah, why not? I mean, it sounds like you had a good time.

[H]

I did.

[J]

You know, we spent some time kind of making fun of people and just, like, it was nice to see somebody who wasn't so uptight like all the other guys I've dated.

[B]

Say, people watch. It's a nice.

[C]

Yeah, exactly.

[A]

You can't make fun of them when you're sitting in the food court eating yourself.

[C]

It's a valid point Alexis brings up.

[A]

But it sounds like you guys really bonded and had a good time together. How did you leave things at the mall?

[J]

Well, at the end, you know, we just kind of hugged. And then he said something that was kind of weird. He said he was going to circle back with Jana and thank her for. For introducing us officially, I guess.

[C]

Was this supposed to be a joke? Because it comes off so businesslike. I'm going to circle back with Jenn.

[H]

Yeah, I thought it was kind of weird.

[J]

He hasn't really reached out to me since then, so I tried to reach out to Jana and ask her, you know, how she thought it went, but she's avoiding me, too.

[C]

Oh, they're avoiding you.

[A]

Maybe the sexy robe was for Jana.

[J]

Oh, that would be really weird. She's like, super old.

[C]

Old ladies love robes.

[A]

Yeah, they do.

[H]

She's like, I'm gonna knit in this.

[A]

Thank you. So it's weird that he's avoiding you, but also, Janna is avoiding you. Something is clearly up here.

[B]

Someone doesn't want to tell you something.

[C]

And that the old lady's playing matchmaker in the office.

[B]

Well, that makes sense, because you do, too.

[C]

Okay, I'm sorry.

[E]

And she loves robes.

[C]

That's cute.

[B]

Brooke is literally wearing one of those.

[C]

This is a cardigan.

[B]

All right.

[C]

So thick one. I get a lot of compliments.

[B]

I will say it is true.

[A]

You do. All right, so, Jeff, we're gonna play a song. We're gonna come back, and we're gonna call Bryce for you. Yes. And we're gonna ask him if he Wants another date with you, Little John, Are you cool with having. Yeah, okay. Little John's on board.

[C]

I didn't realize he was listening.

[A]

We're gonna do your Second Date update right after this.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Hold on. Second Date update? We're in the middle of a holiday edition of a Second Date update.

[C]

Oh, this song makes this.

[A]

It is sweet because we're on the phone with one of our listeners, para, which, honestly, it's an interesting name. I don't think I've ever heard that before. Is that short for something para?

[J]

Yeah, it's actually short for parasol.

[C]

Parasol.

[A]

Oh, like the umbrella.

[J]

Like the umbrella. Yeah, exactly. So my parents met in Paris under an umbrella, and so that's where my name came from.

[E]

Wow.

[B]

Paralegal lawyers.

[A]

You're named after an international umbrella.

[C]

That's sweet.

[A]

I mean, Brook's named after a dirty river filled with runoff from meth labs in Idaho. So you guys can bond after the show is done.

[C]

You're gonna go a crick. But they went with Brooke instead.

[A]

Well, it's very romantic.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Anyway, the reason para has reached out to us is because she went out with a guy named Bryce. The two of them went holiday shopping together after they were kind of set up by one of their co workers.

[C]

Has it been so awkward at work since? He's been avoiding you.

[J]

Luckily, we work in different departments. We don't really cross paths. But every once in a while, I'd like to be able to walk by and say hi without it being weird.

[A]

Yeah, well, let's start by saying hi over the phone, because we're gonna call him right now and we'll see what he has to say. Maybe there's a logical reason why he's not calling you back. Yeah.

[J]

All right.

[C]

All right. She doesn't believe it. Come on.

[A]

It's a spirit of the holidays.

[C]

That's what I was gonna say. It's all about hope, right?

[B]

Christmas magic on our side.

[J]

Yeah, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, I guess.

[A]

Here we go. I'm gonna dial Bryce's number. Let's do this.

[I]

Hello?

[A]

Hey, is this Bryce?

[I]

Yeah, who's this?

[A]

Hey, my name is Jeff from the radio show. Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[G]

Okay.

[A]

Merry Christmas.

[C]

Or.

[A]

Or Happy Hanukkah. Or Kwanzaa.

[B]

Happy holidays.

[A]

Is everything.

[I]

Merry Christmas is fine, I always tell people. That's a safe assumption. Most people celebrate Christmas, but, yeah, Merry Christmas.

[A]

Okay, well, I don't. Personally, I don't know if we want.

[C]

To go there, but. Okay.

[A]

No, I'm glad. I'm glad that you're a big fan of the holidays and we're hoping.

[G]

Oh, I love the holidays.

[A]

Yeah. We heard that you went holiday shopping, actually, with one of our listeners.

[I]

Is this why you call me? Just to talk about holiday shopping?

[C]

Have you been dipping into the eggnog?

[A]

Nothing wrong with that.

[I]

No. It's kind of strange and I don't really. Yeah, I don't know why I got a call from a radio station.

[A]

Well, this is a segment that we do called the Second Date Update and we're trying to see if you would like to hang out with Para again after you guys went shopping together.

[I]

Wait, Vera?

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

From your.

[I]

Yeah, I know. I don't really see any reason to hang out with her again. I mean, I got all my Christmas shopping done. I mean, that was cool. She was really helpful.

[A]

What? What are you talking about?

[C]

She said you guys met at the company holiday party.

[A]

Yeah, your coworker.

[G]

We did.

[I]

Yeah, we did.

[G]

We met at our company.

[I]

Co worker Jana helped put us together. You know, I was complaining to her that I really couldn't figure out what I wanted to get for my girlfriend for Christmas and.

[C]

So what word did you just use?

[I]

What do you mean? Wait, I was. I went. I need to go shopping for my girlfriend and Janet.

[A]

You have a girlfriend?

[I]

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

[C]

Okay. I don't think para. Did you tell para that, like, why are you being so nonchalant about it?

[I]

I don't understand the. I really don't get it. Janet told me that they did a secret Santa thing for the last couple years and Pera gave the best stuff and, you know, had good tips on what to buy, so.

[C]

So you used her for five hours on no pay as a personal shopper.

[I]

Oh, no, don't get me wrong. You know, I actually gave some money to Jana that I answered it to give to Paris.

[B]

Oh, no, that either.

[I]

She didn't ask or anything. You know, I just said I appreciate it and so I would hope she would pass it on, that's all.

[C]

Okay.

[I]

Did Jenna not give it to her? I'm so confused.

[A]

I think a lot of people are confused. Probably most of all is Para.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Who's been listening on the other line this entire time and wants to talk to you.

[J]

I. I don't even know what to say.

[H]

I am appalled.

[B]

We'll say thank you. You were employed and you got.

[C]

Hey, that's a funny thing. I mean, it's funny, but this is.

[A]

I'm kidding.

[G]

I'm sorry.

[A]

Sorry. So Bryce, Pera's Been there the whole time.

[H]

Yeah.

[J]

So first off, you have a girlfriend.

[I]

Why do you think we were shopping for bathrobes? I even said to you, do you think Helen would like these?

[H]

You know, why are you laughing?

[J]

Okay, first off, Helen is an old lady name. So I definitely thought we were shopping for like, your grandma or your aunt or something.

[C]

Valid.

[A]

Fair point. Yeah.

[I]

A name is a name. Okay? I mean, she. Yes, she is a little bit older, but that doesn't matter. I mean, my girlfriend is.

[G]

Is. She's a.

[I]

She's wonderful. She's a wonderful woman.

[J]

Okay, so you used me to help you shop for your girlfriend. I mean, you led me on and. And used me.

[A]

Well, hold on. Because he said that he gave money to Janet of forward to you.

[J]

Well, that money never got to me. And it was obviously not clear that you're using me as a personal shopper.

[C]

God. That's why Jana is avoiding you, because she. She stole your money. Yes, you're right. It has nothing to do. Oh, my God. I'm sorry. It just dawned on me.

[J]

That's sketchy. Because, Bryce, why would you pay Jana to pay me?

[H]

If you.

[J]

If that's really what this was, why.

[H]

Didn'T you give me the money and.

[J]

Explain that that's what you wanted me to do?

[I]

You work on a different floor than me. I never really saw you that much until the party, and then Jana recommended that I take you shopping. And so. Look, nobody asked me for money. Anyway, I thought it was just a nice thing to do. So I gave Janet 50 bucks to pass on to you.

[C]

Why aren't you apologizing for the miscommunication, though? Like, I would feel terrible.

[A]

Why is he apologizing for it?

[C]

Because he was never clear with what his intention was. I mean, yes, I think that there was a lot of mistakes throughout this whole thing, but, I mean, she's embarrassed. Para's embarrassed. She thought that there was something else and that. And that sucks.

[I]

Yeah, I will say that. Para, I like. This is a weird situation. And, you know, I think we all got a little confused. I knew you were single, all right? You kind of made that clear when we were shopping. And now I guess looking back, I understand why you kept talking about being single.

[A]

I didn't want to rub it in.

[J]

You even have a girlfriend if you can't go shopping for her on your own. Does she know that you paid somebody to go find her gifts for her?

[I]

So I hired a personal shopper. I mean, in my mind, that's what I was doing. I hired a Personal shopper. I don't think she would be upset by that.

[B]

Yeah, I'd be impressed.

[A]

Honestly, I think that helps.

[C]

Helps the case you didn't hire a personal shopper.

[A]

He thought he did. At least that was his intention.

[B]

Jana's the scandalous one.

[C]

Price totally took advantage of the situation and tried to get some work for free.

[A]

He paid her 50 bucks.

[J]

That was just a booking fee to pay Jana to find someone to shop for you. So I think you still owe me like, a hundred bucks for my time.

[C]

Yeah, that's a girl.

[B]

A booking fee. I agree with that.

[C]

I mean, if you're going to be a pimp, you better get your rates right.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[I]

Yeah, I think I only spent like, $40 on the bathrobe. I mean, it's really good.

[B]

Well, she's a pricey shopper.

[A]

That was the other part that was a little bit confusing. She felt like you were being flirty with her.

[I]

I was being flattering. The entire time she's dropping hints about.

[C]

Being single, she was on a date.

[J]

I don't need your pity.

[A]

The. The compliments, though, do get misconstrued during the holidays. Like when I sat on Santa's la. He's like, you look like a good little boy. Yeah, I mean, I didn't take that one the wrong way.

[B]

You did say, thanks, Daddy.

[A]

Yeah, well, you know, that one was on me. I'm curious, though, Bryce. How long have you been in a relationship with this girlfriend, Helen?

[I]

We just started dating a few weeks ago, so I don't really know her well enough. That's why I kind of wanted to help already.

[B]

Shopping for her.

[A]

So it's a newer relationship. That's interesting.

[C]

Buying her ropes. Oh, yeah.

[I]

I didn't want to be alone during the holidays.

[C]

You know, you sound like a catch when you say things like that.

[A]

Well, maybe you guys don't have to be alone for the holidays. If you meet up one more time. And we'll pay for that meetup.

[J]

Oh, no. If you're talking about us, no chance.

[C]

There you go, para.

[I]

I don't know. I don't know, para. I mean, I could use a new suit for New Year's Eve.

[C]

No, no, get out of here.

[J]

I'll help you shop. As long as we're very clear that's what it is I'm going to be doing.

[B]

Hey. See, we're helping.

[I]

I was thinking about getting some sexy lingerie for Helen. I don't know about you.

[B]

Okay, now we're crossing.

[I]

I'm just teasing.

[C]

Dirty old man humor.

[A]

Loving your voice.

[C]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

You know, I'm trying to look at the positives of that phone call and I think on the bright side, at least everybody came away from that with something valuable.

[C]

Is there a bright side to that one you think?

[A]

I think. Well, Bryce was able to get his holiday shopping done.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

His girlfriend got a nice new robe. Helen. Jana got paid for helping facilitate that situation. And our listener who came to us for help got some holiday closure.

[C]

Well, that's not really what she was looking for.

[A]

Yeah, sure, it's not what she expected, but at least she can take away the important lesson. Never ever date a co worker or help anybody ever. Well, and that's a holiday message that we can endorse on this show.

[C]

Or maybe the message to be New Year New Jersey job for you. Like she needs to be looking. That company is filled with some condescending, drama filled people.

[A]

Oh yeah, well if she doesn't like that she certainly shouldn't work here.

[C]

Yeah, but if you or a loved.
