Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Episode: Dog Parks and Daughters (March 25, 2026)

---

Episode Overview

In this episode of "Second Date Update," Brooke, Jeffrey, and the rest of the morning show crew connect with Coco, a single mom who was unwittingly set up on a “date” by her seven-year-old daughter in a very unconventional way. Coco finds herself ghosted after awkwardly meeting a single dad, Corey, at a dog park—without actually owning a dog. The episode dives into the hilarious, cringe-worthy details of the encounter, parenting mishaps, and rumors spread in elementary school circles. The team calls Corey live to uncover the real reason behind his radio silence, revealing a web of misunderstandings, playground gossip, and a surprising "bus driver" subplot.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. How The “Set-Up” Happened

[03:39–06:08]

• Coco, a single mom, explains her daughter wants a sister and took matchmaking into her own hands.
• Coco: “This little daughter of mine decided that she was going to write my number on multiple sheets of paper and hand it out to her friends so they can give it to their dads.” [04:49]

2. The Dog Park Debacle

[06:31–09:07]

• Coco’s daughter arranges a playdate at the dog park, where Coco meets Corey, her daughter’s friend’s dad.

• Coco tries to cover for her lie: “So I said... it was my nanny.” [08:34]
• Coco reflects on her mistakes, wondering if the dog-and-nanny story cost her a second date.

3. Why Hasn’t Corey Called?

[10:16–13:54]

• The team discusses possible reasons why Corey hasn’t reached out, like confusion over phone number exchanges between parents and whether Coco’s intentions were clear.

4. The Call to Corey: Clearing the Air

[13:04–19:00]

• Corey answers and recalls the encounter but is cagey about why he hasn’t called.
• The real reason surfaces: “Her daughter was telling my daughter that... her mom wanted to have another baby with me.” [14:04]
• Additionally, Corey’s daughter reports Coco was recently divorced for “hooking up with the school bus driver.”
• Coco is brought on the line to clarify:
  • She never told her daughter she wanted a baby with Corey: “My daughter is the one that wants a sister.” [15:47]
  • She did date a bus driver but only after her divorce, clarifying, “Not our school’s bus driver.” [16:44]
  • In a candid moment: “Technically, I did date a second bus driver, but it wasn't for long.” [17:42]

5. Resolution: Will They Try a Second Date?

[17:57–19:23]

• After clarifications, the show offers to pay for a date.
• Corey, still hesitant but swayed by the offer: “After talking to her and finding out the details, I guess free dinner, I wouldn't mind giving—” [18:31]
• Coco, feeling like a “last resort,” still agrees:
  • Coco: “Hell yeah.” [19:23]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Coco’s accidental charisma:
  “She could have just wanted a dog instead, but… this little daughter of mine decided that she was going to write my number on multiple sheets of paper and hand it out to her friends so they can give it to their dads.” [04:49]
• The panic at the dog park:
  “I said it was the black one in the corner… and then, like, 30 seconds later, some lady puts a leash on that dog.” [07:41], [08:07]
• On rumors spreading among kids:
  Corey: “Her daughter was telling my daughter that… her mom wanted to have another baby with me.” [14:04]
  “And then I heard that she just recently got divorced, and it’s because she was hooking up with the school bus driver.” [14:31]
• Coco’s honesty:
  “Well, I did hook up with a bus driver, but from someone that I met on a dating app, not a school bus driver.” [16:03]
• The chemistry (or lack thereof) discussion:
  Brooke: “Her whole sale on him was like he looked like an average dad and then he wasn’t that into it.” [21:01] Jeff: “You can’t blame a single dad who just wants a free Costco hot dog, you know, cause that's what we’re offering him.” [21:19]

[Jack]

Ooh, sounds like we're at a theme park.

[Brooke]

Yeah, well, this woman had someone set her up unexpected. Wing woman.

[Coco]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that is. That's gonna be your tease right now. We're gonna get it.

[Jack]

I like that.

[Jeffrey]

Just a second.

[Brooke]

But first, comments.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Yitzi said. Hi, guys. I'm 16 from Israel. I love your podcast. They make me laugh when I have a bad day. Not only that, but when I watch a sports game, I turn the volume off and listen to your podcast while watching the game.

[Coco]

What?

[Jeff]

I don't get it.

[Jeffrey]

Goal strike basket. I don't know what they say in that.

[Brooke]

Can't you tell? Alexis's next career is gonna be a commentary.

[Jeff]

There you go.

[Brooke]

All right, well, thank you so much for listening. We love that you're here. Please subscribe. It's Brooke and Jeffrey, and here's your brand new second date. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Redfin Narrator]

Second date update.

[Jeff]

Dating apps have been the most preferred method nowadays for how people meet, but maybe this is the new thing. Oh, get your children to do the work for you.

[Brooke]

I mean, I could see this because I have made so many, like, truly amazing friends because of my kids.

[Jeff]

Okay, we're talking about romantic hookups here,

[Brooke]

but I'm just saying that these little snot nose, tiny humans are great vectors of connecting adults.

[Jack]

Brooke may get a second husband.

[Coco]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Good for you.

[Jeff]

We're all excited about that. And I don't know exactly how it happened with our listener, but according to their email, that's how she got matched up with a man.

[Brooke]

You got your third grader to do some matchmaking for you.

[Jeff]

Let's figure it out. Her name's Coco. Coco. Welcome to the show.

[Coco]

Hello. Hello. Hi, Coco.

[Jeff]

This whole thing sounds a little bit unusual. Unconventional, involving your children in your courtship. I'm very curious how it happens. So can we ask you about that before we get to the date?

[Coco]

Yes, yes, yes. So, I mean, I'm a single mom. I'm a mother to, like a seven year old daughter, and she keeps annoying me with wanting a sister. Aw.

[Jeff]

Okay, well, why don't you just go to the sister store and go buy one?

[Coco]

She could have Just wanted a dog instead, but I don't know. Anyway, but this little daughter of mine decided that she was going to write my number on multiple sheets of paper and hand it out to her friends so they can give it to their dads.

[Brooke]

Oh, wait, she was actually playing matchmaker.

[Jeffrey]

What a little genius.

[Coco]

She absolutely was. She's really dead on having a sister, so.

[Brooke]

Oh my God.

[Jack]

Take initiative. She's a smart cookie.

[Brooke]

What a go getter.

[Coco]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Did she not know that she was doing this?

[Coco]

No, not a clue.

[Brooke]

And the thing is, it's so innocent. Like, I mean, it's true that you didn't know. Like, even if you get embarrassed, who cares? Everybody thinks a 7 year old doing this is adorable and it's actually brilliant

[Jack]

because even if you did meet somebody, if you don't like them, you can say, oh my God, she's doing this on her own. I'm so embarrassed.

[Jeff]

Yeah, it's way better than Brooke writing her own phone number in the men's restroom at the school. That's just classes.

[Jeffrey]

She doesn't even put her name and

[Jack]

just says, hey, boys.

[Brooke]

You guys are so stupid.

[Jeff]

But okay. So your daughter's handing out your phone number to her friends, saying to give it to their dads. Hopefully they're single.

[Coco]

Kind of like handing them out like baseball cards or something like that.

[Brooke]

I am dead. Okay, so wait, how many calls did you get about this?

[Coco]

Oh, zero, zero.

[Jeffrey]

A lot of single dads.

[Coco]

Yeah, no, they probably thought it was weird my number would just be passed around, so they threw it away. You know, they put in their pocket. They forgot it was there.

[Brooke]

So how does this turn into someone, though?

[Coco]

So a few days later, she's like, guess what, mom, we're going to the dog park.

[Jack]

You don't have a dog, though. You already told us that.

[Coco]

Yes, I don't have a dog. But she told me that her friend was gonna be there with her dad and that she wanted for us to meet them and it was more of a play date situation. And you know, this man had no idea that this was happening. But I do meet him and my daughter jumps out of the car, she runs to her friend and I meet her. D. Her dad's name is Corey.

[Brooke]

Okay, wait, what were your thoughts on Corey?

[Coco]

First look, and he looks like a typical dad, you know, but he's funny. Average dad.

[Brooke]

Is that a compliment? I can't tell.

[Jeff]

Do you think the average dad at schools are hot? Brooke. There you go. That's what he looked like.

[Jeffrey]

Did you look at your daughter and explain to her. You want better?

[Jeff]

Okay, so tell us about. Did you interact with Corey? Like, how does that go?

[Coco]

Yeah. So he tries to make conversation and then asks me which one is my dog.

[Jeff]

Oh, no.

[Coco]

And that's when I panicked.

[Corey]

Quick,

[Jeff]

what'd you say?

[Coco]

I said it was the black one in the corner.

[Brooke]

Why did you lie?

[Coco]

Yeah, she said she panted and I panicked.

[Jack]

Oh, no. Like, in the moment.

[Brooke]

It was such an easy truth, though. Like, oh, my God, my daughter knew your daughter was gonna be here, and they wanted to play.

[Jack]

Oh, that's good, Brooke.

[Coco]

I wish I would have come up with something like that, but in the moment, I didn't think of it, you know? Yeah. You're the black one over there.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Okay. That could have gone smooth. Brooke was right with her example.

[Jeff]

I mean. Well, I mean, at least you have a dog.

[Coco]

Well, then, like, 30 seconds later, some lady puts a leash on that dog.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no, they're not there alone.

[Brooke]

That's my dog walker I hired.

[Coco]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Brooke, you are good at this.

[Coco]

Take him to my car. It gets worse, because then he's like, hey, someone's trying to steal your dog.

[Jeff]

I didn't think that's what I would say. I'd be like, what the hell's going on? If someone's walking away with your pet,

[Brooke]

like, I didn't need that black one.

[Jack]

This is so funny.

[Jeff]

Then what do you say?

[Coco]

So I said. I said it was my nanny.

[Jeff]

Okay, so now you have a dog that doesn't exist and a nanny that is.

[Coco]

That doesn't exist.

[Brooke]

Does it ever get good?

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Coco]

So I did ask him. I was like, hey, if you want to hang out sometime, here's my number, which I'm sure he probably already had, thanks to my daughter.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Coco]

And now it's just been eight days, and I've heard nothing from him, and you guys can't see me, but I consider myself to be pretty and attractive. Okay? So I don't understand why a single guy wouldn't want to go out with me. Okay.

[Brooke]

I mean, do you think maybe he didn't buy the whole nanny dog lie?

[Coco]

Yeah, I mean, he probably thought I was a psychopath. I don't know. Yeah, I feel terrible because I don't even know this man. We've never hung out like that, like, on a date. And so, I don't know. I kind of want you guys to call him, get a read on him, and see if he likes me or not. Because, like, honestly, I wouldn't mind dating him for real.

[Jack]

Okay, Are we gonna come clean and

[Brooke]

yes, Jeffrey, we already tried faking a dog on this show once and it didn't go well. And I don't rec.

[Jeff]

And then doing it again. Jose does a great dog bark. That's a little feral dog. So maybe that's a bad idea. We might have to come clean and tell Corey the truth. If he picks up and let him know, like you're just genuinely interested and think he's a nice guy. Is that the worst thing to say?

[Coco]

Yes. I just. I wanted to bring this full circle because it's eating me alive.

[Brooke]

No, it's not the worst thing.

[Jeff]

It's not the worst thing. But you know, I can tell you you've got a lot of emotions going on over there. Coco, we'll step in and do the work for you when we come back and do your second date update Single dad style right after this. Hold on.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Redfin Narrator]

Second date update.

[Jeff]

If you're just joining us, we've been talking to Coco, a single mom who didn't really go on an official date. She was kind of set up by her seven year old daughter.

[Jack]

More questions are arising, Jack.

[Brooke]

Okay, it's way more normal if you heard the first.

[Jeff]

Yeah, but she was convinced to go to a dog park to meet up with a random dad named Corey where she lied to him several times about multiple things.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's not good.

[Jeff]

But did give him her number and is a little disappointed that he hasn't reached out in the past eight days.

[Jack]

She panic lied.

[Jeff]

So that's where we're coming in to help her figure things out. Well, I mean, it seems so easy.

[Coco]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Do you think that the dad, Cory, do you think he even understood why you were giving him your number? Do you mean because like parents exchange numbers all the time and it's like, oh, here's in case our kids want to hang out again.

[Jack]

That's true. Could just be for safety. Yeah, so you have my number.

[Brooke]

Like he wouldn't call you back if that was the reason in his head.

[Coco]

I mean, I was flirting with him size that he should have thought that maybe I was interested.

[Jack]

That's true. You know, a lot of times us guys do not pick up on that stuff.

[Brooke]

Especially when a guy is dialed into dog daughter here.

[Jack]

Yeah, he's in dad mode.

[Jeff]

Coco said that she was extremely attractive that day too. So it doesn't matter what he thought. The man brain should have gone to I should date this woman.

[Jack]

He should have snapped out of it.

[Brooke]

I hope that's not the first thing that men think of Every time they see a woman.

[Jeff]

That is how man brains work. Yes, hot woman I should date.

[Jack]

Yes, I will marry you.

[Brooke]

It's not the brag you think it is.

[Jeff]

I'm not saying it's a brag. It's just how these dumb brains work. It's gotten us to this point and let's keep going. It is time for me to call dad and find out why he no one talk to woman. Cool.

[Brooke]

She likes it.

[Jeff]

Okay, Coco's following along. Let's just reach out. We'll see if Corey picks up. Here we go.

[Corey]

Hello?

[Jeff]

Hey, is this Corey?

[Brooke]

Did he say woohoo after?

[Jeff]

I think his phone echoed.

[Jack]

Oh,

[Jeff]

hello?

[Jack]

Yeehaw, I'm on the phone.

[Jeff]

Hey, sorry. Corey? Is this Corey?

[Corey]

Yeah. Hello?

[Jack]

Hey, man, Brooke is dying right now.

[Jeff]

Yeah, you're hearing a lot of voices right now because you're on a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Jack]

See, I knew she was gonna do it. Yeah, Jeff, you gotta wait for Brooklyn.

[Jeff]

I just don't want to lose Corey. Corey.

[Jack]

There, come on.

[Corey]

Yeah. Hey, man, Wait, what's happening?

[Jeff]

So you're on a radio show right now? My name is Jeff, this is called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. And we're doing a segment that's known as the Second Date Update. Yeah, and we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you. You met the other day, a very nice woman named Coco.

[Corey]

Yeah, so my daughter's friend. Mom. Right, right.

[Jack]

Oh, you do remember.

[Brooke]

You're tracking that man.

[Jeff]

Brain just locked right in.

[Corey]

I'm still. I'm not sure what's. So what now? What about her?

[Jeff]

Well, we heard that you two had a little interaction at the dog park, and Coco gave you her phone number, but hasn't heard anything from you in many days. Yeah,

[Corey]

yeah, I mean, I guess I did think about it, to be honest with you, but just based on what I know, I don't think it would be that great of an idea.

[Jack]

Based on what? You know. Wait, that was kind of vague, you

[Jeff]

know, what do you. What do you know?

[Corey]

So, I mean, you know how kids talk.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, they got all the good tea.

[Jack]

Yeah, Brooke tells us all the time.

[Corey]

So. Yeah, her daughter was telling my daughter that. I guess her mom wanted to have another baby with me.

[Brooke]

Her daughter told your daughter that her mom wants to have a baby with you?

[Jeff]

What do you think about that statement, Cory?

[Corey]

I mean, I just met this lady one time at a dog park. Like, what am I supposed to think?

[Coco]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Wait, wait, wait.

[Jeffrey]

Our little daughter is unhinged so much

[Jack]

worse than it really is.

[Brooke]

That's not what she feels. I mean, kid tea is good tea, but because it's usually really exaggerated and not exactly accurate.

[Corey]

And then I heard that she just recently got divorced, and it's because she was hooking up with the school bus driver.

[Jeff]

What?

[Jack]

Whoa. Now that is some tea.

[Brooke]

Wait, why would her daughter know that?

[Coco]

Ooh.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Good point.

[Jeff]

Does that information intrigue you?

[Jack]

You?

[Corey]

I.

[Brooke]

That's.

[Jeff]

I mean, I'm curious at least to know.

[Jack]

You see how men process. Brook. Jeff can't even think of this.

[Brooke]

Jeff never rode a public school bus before there.

[Jeff]

If it had been like this the whole time. I missed out.

[Corey]

Yeah. I mean, just for me, that's a lot of drama that I do not need to be involved in.

[Brooke]

That makes sense. That checks out.

[Jeffrey]

But maybe it's not true.

[Coco]

All that.

[Jack]

Yeah, maybe it's not true.

[Jeff]

I think we agree. If all that was factual, we would understand where you're coming from. Sure. But the only way to know for sure if it's real is to ask Coco directly. And it's perfect, because she's on the other line right now listening in on this phone call, waiting to talk to you.

[Corey]

Oh, my God.

[Coco]

Hello, Corey.

[Brooke]

I mean, Coco. You needed to hear what your daughter's spreading on the playground,

[Coco]

and it's a total misunderstanding.

[Jeff]

So it's not true?

[Coco]

I never told my daughter that I want another baby. My daughter is the one that wants a sister.

[Jack]

Why are we not with that?

[Brooke]

I feel like we should start with the bus driver.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Brooke wants to know how hot was this bus driver?

[Jeffrey]

No.

[Brooke]

Why would your daughter say that?

[Coco]

Well, I did hook up with a bus driver, but from someone that I met on a dating app, not a school bus driver.

[Brooke]

Were you on a dating app?

[Jeff]

Not this school bus driver. The school bus driver from three schools over.

[Jack]

He's in.

[Brooke]

Was that while you were married or while you were.

[Coco]

No, after I got divorced.

[Jeff]

He was your rebound?

[Coco]

Yeah. It was kind of like the magic school bus.

[Jeff]

Please don't.

[Corey]

So you guys hooked up on the school bus?

[Coco]

No, no, no. I didn't ride the school bus.

[Jeff]

She's not Mrs. Frizzle.

[Coco]

This is kind of getting out of hand. I hooked up with a who. His job was to be a bus driver, so. But not, like our daughter's school bus driver. Like. No.

[Brooke]

The most important part is you did it while you were single as well.

[Coco]

Right, right, right. Like, I know my daughter might have misspoke, and I just wanted to clear the air a little bit. Like, there's just so many things that are not right here. I'm a normal human being. Attractive, I might say. And I'm not a psycho.

[Jeff]

Gotcha. All right, Coco, now that we've cleared the air, all the cards are on the table. Corey, how are you feeling about this?

[Brooke]

This?

[Corey]

I mean, technically, she's still hooking up with school bus drivers, which to me is kind of funky.

[Jeffrey]

Okay,

[Coco]

is that why you haven't called me? Because of that?

[Jack]

Oh, sometimes you find out their types,

[Jeffrey]

and we got a lot of bus drivers who. Listen, watch out, you guys.

[Brooke]

She didn't say plural drivers. One guy who happened to drive a bus.

[Coco]

Well, in all transparency, technically, I did date a second bus driver, but it wasn't for long.

[Brooke]

That's just probably because the apps that you liked, the first one, the algorithm got set to bus drivers in your area.

[Coco]

Right, the algorithm.

[Jeff]

Okay, so now that we have all of this new information for you to process, what do you think about, you know, maybe giving Coco a chance and seeing if there's more of a connection between you two?

[Brooke]

I mean, how many hot single moms can be available right now? Like. Yeah, and she sounds like she's a really loving mother, too.

[Jack]

It was all misunderstandings, man.

[Jeff]

Yeah, so maybe you go to a movie with Coco and, you know, have some dinner and we'd pay for that.

[Jeffrey]

A movie's a terrible first date. Don't do that.

[Jeff]

You're right. Like, you guys can take a bus ride.

[Brooke]

Yeah, competitions out there.

[Jeff]

We'll pay the bus fee. Corey.

[Corey]

Yeah, I mean, after talking to her and finding out the details, I guess free dinner, I. I wouldn't mind giving

[Jeff]

it just a cheapskate.

[Brooke]

So he was an average dad with a million mid personality.

[Jack]

Yeah, I mean, he's processing, too. Let's give him a little bit of a crumb.

[Corey]

Okay, I'm just saying, I'm taking everything into account. And the free dinner definitely

[Jeff]

does not

[Brooke]

sound excited at all, but that is a very dad answer.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Yeah, I can bring something home for my kids.

[Jeff]

Coco, I'm sorry that he's love bombing you so hard.

[Coco]

I mean, I feel like I'm a last resort at this point, which is not fun, but.

[Brooke]

Well, that's not what you meant, right?

[Jeff]
