Brooke
We got a brand new second date update for you. Welcome to the show. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and today is really a debate. You know, creepy or romantic? Yeah, I went with romantic. You did? I'm gonna lean more creepy. Yeah, yeah. You decide what the gesture is. You're gonna hear the whole thing. And we can't wait to hear your thoughts. Of course, in the comment section, which we love to read. Alexis, what do you like? Seriously? I do. I saw one from a Barb who said, these will never fail to make me laugh. These people's uncomfortable situations make my day so much better. Yes. If I ever get a call from y' all, though, I'm hanging up. You say that. You say that now. Barb, don't be interested.
Alexis
Come on. You just want to talk to us. Be like, oh, my God, I have a bad dating life. I just wanted to say hi, but I want to hang up.
Brooke
I have a couple questions.
Ryan Seacrest
That's right.
Brooke
That's absolutely right. All right, your brand new second date starts right now.
Julian
Second date update. Few months ago, we heard one of the more romantic date stories from our show about a guy who was out with a woman when she randomly suggested they go into Ross Dress for Less. And then she disappeared.
Brooke
I don't remember that one.
Julian
Later found out she had messed her pants and was looking to buy a new outfit in the store.
Brooke
God, if you would have led with that part, I totally would have remember.
Julian
Thankfully, they ended up going out again, but it didn't work out in the long run.
Brooke
It did.
Julian
Their situation got too messy, according to him.
Brooke
Okay.
Julian
Don't know if that was a. I.
Brooke
Don'T think we're going to ask for details on what that means.
Julian
No, I only know that, though, because he's back on the show today looking for love with a different woman. So let's welcome back Julian to the show. Julian, did this new lady run into a Walmart this time? Or a Bass Pro Shop? I'm trying to get a jump on this. Where we at?
Jeffrey
Hey, guys. Great to talk to you again.
Brooke
Oh. Oh, well, that's good.
Julian
Way to ignore my question.
Alexis
That's okay.
Julian
I guess we'll get to it in a second.
Brooke
He thought it was more of a joke, less of a real question.
Julian
Yeah, I only do serious stuff on the show. You know that, Julian. But let's start with the name of the new girl that you Met. What's her name?
Jeffrey
Fiona.
Brooke
Fiona. That's a nice name. How'd you meet her?
Jeffrey
I actually met her at the supermarket.
Brooke
That's cute.
Jeffrey
Yeah. So we exchanged numbers and, you know, text, and she greets her go at me, which is great.
Brooke
That's cute. I love this. All right, were you, like, really optimistic about this date or what were you feeling?
Jeffrey
Mostly about 70%.
Brooke
All right.
Jeffrey
You always have the nerves, but it's like, you know what? Let's just take a chance.
Brooke
Okay.
Julian
So what did you end up doing for your hangout?
Jeffrey
So, basically, I picked up her place and we went to Glow in the Dark mini golf.
Julian
I had a middle school field trip to a Glow in the Dark mini golf place. Never forgot it.
Alexis
Lots of shirt actions.
Brooke
I think that's the analogy or the story that you wanted.
Julian
Well, I mean, it was sexy for me as a. As a 12 year old as.
Brooke
You smile and your teeth just glow.
Julian
Yeah. So I feel the vibe. How was it for you?
Jeffrey
I enjoyed it. You know, sometimes, of course, people could think it's just for kids, but it was actually a little romantic. And also, you know, we had drinks first.
Brooke
Okay, fun.
Jeffrey
And then we start to play. But crazy enough, they didn't allow drinks on the green. I guess we call it on the green.
Julian
What kind of place doesn't allow drinking where children are?
Brooke
Maybe it's just too dark. Like it's glowing. The dark. It's too dark. They're worried people will trip. Like, you add alcohol to the mix.
Jeffrey
It'S actually a little bit of a bummer. I was wishing we can drink and do this.
Brooke
Yeah.
Julian
Yeah.
Jeffrey
But what's so cool, what she did, right? She actually had snuck some airplane shots and she took them out of her purse.
Julian
She came prepared.
Jeffrey
So we had shots. Like behind the glowing dragons.
Julian
Of course that's a metaphor.
Brooke
Now you are back into sneaky middle schoolers.
Julian
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Okay, so the great thing is she's sarcastic just like I am.
Brooke
Okay. All right, so you guys got each other's sense of humor. You're drinking illegally on the mini golf course.
Julian
Yeah, this all sounds good so far.
Jeffrey
And honestly, the 30% was. I was. I was kind of nervous because I didn't tell her where we were going. So she wore heels.
Brooke
Oh, to play mini golf.
Julian
Oh, yeah.
Jeffrey
So that's my fault. I wanted to be kind of like, spontaneous.
Brooke
Did she complain about her feet hurting? Because that's a lot of holes to.
Jeffrey
She did a little bit. But you know what? I'm going to take one for the team to do something different. So we exchanged shoes.
Julian
Wait, what? Wait, you gave her your shoes and you wore her heels?
Jeffrey
Yeah, sure did.
Brooke
I see a couple of on TikTok and people are like, goals. Yeah. Your feet fit into her shoes.
Jeffrey
Not really. I leave more part of her shoes. There's just a few holes because I'm like a size 11 and a half and she's a size seven in women.
Brooke
So thankfully she was wearing strappy heels instead of some pointed stilettos.
Julian
Yeah, I mean, so far the date's sounding pretty good. It's playful, you guys are being sarcastic and fun with each other. Maybe you look even better in the heels than she looked when she came.
Brooke
Are you saying that's a bad thing? Like she was jealous?
Julian
Yes. She could be intimidated by you. Is that possible?
Jeffrey
Julian, I played the fifth.
Brooke
Yeah, where's the bad parts? Where's the stuff that make you think that that's why you're not getting a second date?
Jeffrey
So after the date, we go back to our place.
Brooke
Okay.
Julian
Okay. Are you still wearing her heels?
Jeffrey
No.
Julian
Okay.
Jeffrey
So we get back to her place and honestly, I thought she would invite me in, but she doesn't. Looking back, I feel like cringy about this, but made a couple excuses like, oh, is there any shows or anything you can put me on to?
Brooke
Oh, you asked to go inside?
Jeffrey
Yeah. Or you have any coffee inside or.
Alexis
Okay, it was kind of obvious.
Brooke
How many times did you try?
Jeffrey
I tried, like, two or three different excuses.
Julian
Oh, okay. Okay. That can come off looking a little bit desperate.
Alexis
Yeah.
Brooke
Did you know when you were saying these things that you should shut your mouth?
Jeffrey
I kind of did, but by the time my mouth started, my brain couldn't catch up in time to get myself out of it.
Brooke
So do you think it made her feel like you were there for. Not the right reasons?
Jeffrey
Maybe. But I liked her personality. I liked hanging out with her. And honestly, I wanted some private time with her, too.
Brooke
Okay, that's not bad. Yeah, that's normal.
Julian
But maybe on the first date that's a little bit too much.
Alexis
Yeah, you can't expect anything.
Julian
Yeah. So what's happened since then? Have you been able to stay in contact with her?
Jeffrey
Well, that happened five days ago now. She stopped answering my texts, and I said. I text her, said, hey, thanks for a great night. It took her about an hour to respond to that, and then she just said, you too.
Brooke
Oh, that doesn't feel good.
Alexis
That's cool.
Jeffrey
I've sent a couple of texts and.
Brooke
Just random stuff asking for shoe recommendations. Right.
Jeffrey
Maybe A joke or two there, you know, so sarcastic. Maybe a movie reference like that and usually respond to it or laugh or. Yeah, like that ends with nothing.
Alexis
I wish this was a textual healing, because that would be a good. To joke about. The shoes. That'd be a good end, like.
Julian
Well, we can still ask that question when we call her for the second date update.
Alexis
It's a little different now.
Julian
Yeah, maybe. Maybe she still hung over from that airplane shot that she took. That.
Brooke
That one shot.
Julian
I mean, sometimes hangovers last for a long time.
Brooke
Wow.
Julian
We'll find out when we call her and try and get you your second date update right after this. Hold on, ma' am.
Jeffrey
Second date update.
Julian
It's hard to imagine a better first date than what we just heard from our listener, Julian, where he took Fiona to glow in the dark mini golf night. And they drank alcohol around kids. They made each other laugh, even swapped outfits on the golf course.
Brooke
Just shoes?
Julian
Well, yeah, shoes specifically, but that's the most important part of it. Yeah. The awkward part, though, happened at the end of the night when Julian tried to casually invite himself into her place.
Brooke
Oh, he is an eager fella.
Julian
It was not just once. A few times. And he got rejected.
Brooke
Yeah.
Julian
So Fiona may believe Julian was only interested in, you know what, but that's not true, right?
Brooke
Talking about the brand of her fridge. Right. He wanted to go see.
Julian
I don't think that's true. Right, Julian? You don't even enjoy doing that stuff with girls.
Jeffrey
I like women. I'm not going to deny that.
Brooke
No, you don't need to. No one's asking you to. No, but kind of the whole point of what we're doing for you right now.
Julian
But he realizes he may have messed up in trying to make that move multiple times. Hopefully that's not the reason, and we can at least help get him a second date here.
Brooke
Yeah. Because if you seem too eager at the end of that date, it's not eager at all to have a radio station call her. Very cool.
Jeffrey
I mean, it's going on five days. Where else am I supposed to turn?
Brooke
I mean, what have you got to lose now?
Julian
Sure.
Brooke
Might as well.
Julian
If she thinks it's weird, we'll just tell her it was our idea to call, not yours. Okay, thanks.
Dan Flores
I appreciate that.
Alexis
Out of the blue, and we're like, hey, man, you got any dating issues right now? What a coincidence.
Julian
Yes, he is a friend of the show. Because, remember, remember, he's been on this segment.
Brooke
Maybe we should tell her that.
Alexis
I hope all the listeners know we could call you at any time because you're our friend.
Julian
Yes. Always have your phone on.
Brooke
That's a good point, Alexis. A regular of a second date is not going to be a green flag.
Julian
All right, we'll limit what we tell Fiona if we can get her to answer, but I'm dialing the number right now. Here we go.
Ryan Seacrest
Hello?
Julian
Hey, is this Fiona? This is G. Hey, thanks for answering. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. And thank you for being on it.
Alexis
Yeah, Jeff thanked her twice. Is he nervous?
Brooke
I don't know.
Julian
Thank you.
Brooke
You have a really pretty voice, Fiona.
Ryan Seacrest
Why are you guys calling me?
Brooke
Great question.
Julian
I kind of forgot why for a second, but now I've remembered there is nervous.
Alexis
Guys, look.
Julian
Well, it's just we've heard a lot of good stuff about you, Fiona, from a guy that you went on a date with recently. A guy named Julian.
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, yeah. Okay.
Brooke
Glow in the dark mini golf guy.
Ryan Seacrest
Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, Pretty memorable date.
Brooke
You had a memorable day. That's usually a good thing.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, I guess it was.
Alexis
I guess it was. Well, it's not a raving review.
Julian
It was for Julian too, which is why he's asked us to reach out to you in this segment. It's called a second date update and we're trying to help him figure out if there's a reason why after. I guess it's been five days since you hung out. There hasn't been another meetup or any communication.
Brooke
Really.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
Brooke
Did you plan on getting in touch with him and you were just busy?
Ryan Seacrest
Um, not really.
Brooke
Oh.
Ryan Seacrest
The date was fine. It was. It was cute. But he did something at the end of the date that was a little, like, weird and off putting and I just like, kind of felt uncomfortable.
Julian
You know, it's funny you say that because Julian did mention something that he's embarrassed that he did multiple times where he was trying to basically get an invite to hang out with you more in your place.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, that was honestly a little much for a first date, but I feel like I would have given him another chance after that.
Brooke
Oh, that's not the reason. That's not what you're talking about?
Ryan Seacrest
No? No.
Julian
Okay, well then in that case, Julian is like, totally in the dark. Yeah. It really help if you could like, just give it a little bit of an explanation that we could pass along to him.
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, I mean, maybe it'll help him in the future.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
And that's the point of the whole segment, right?
Brooke
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
So I was talking about the date afterward with a friend, and she asked what he looked like, and I was like, oh, well, he walked me up to my door, which a lot of guys don't do anymore. I thought that was kind of sweet. Even though he was trying to come in.
Brooke
I was gonna say, at least you were aware. Classy to an extent, right?
Julian
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
So I was like, I have him on the ring camera. Like, let me show you, like, the footage. And then I noticed that when I shut the door, he stood there for a second, like, talking to himself.
Brooke
What did he say? Yeah, what?
Julian
Wait.
Ryan Seacrest
He was, like, kind of debriefing the date and, like, almost like giving him a self. A pep talk. And then he was like, she's prettier than the pictures I drew of her.
Brooke
What? He said out loud, I drew pictures of her. Like, what a weird statement.
Ryan Seacrest
Yes, exactly.
Alexis
Well, in his defense, if there's stick figure drawings.
Julian
Yeah, it kind of sounds like it's supposed to be a compliment.
Brooke
Maybe he's talking about, like, his dream girl and she's prettier than what his dream girl was.
Julian
Mental pictures.
Brooke
That'd be better.
Julian
Fiona, do you have any idea what you meant by that?
Ryan Seacrest
I don't. I have no idea. We didn't talk about it at all.
Julian
Well, in that case, maybe you should just talk directly to. Because he is on the other line listening to this call, wanting to know timing, what.
Brooke
What was going on, hoping for a normal response here.
Ryan Seacrest
No, stop. He's not.
Brooke
Yeah.
Julian
Yeah, he is.
Ryan Seacrest
No, he's not.
Julian
Julian, are you there?
Jeffrey
I am.
Brooke
Okay.
Julian
Did you have to come in with that voice, bro?
Alexis
Did you overthink that?
Brooke
No, he's just probably disappointed in himself.
Jeffrey
I. Oh, buddy, I didn't. I didn't know you heard that.
Brooke
Well, yeah, it was a ring camera that records. We got that.
Julian
What are you talking about? With the pictures that you drew that aren't, like, what she looks like? What does that mean?
Jeffrey
Well, I do drawings. I think a lot of people do drawings.
Alexis
Yeah, I mean, I don't, but maybe. I mean, everyone has different artistic outlets.
Brooke
So what was the picture that you drew?
Jeffrey
It was just of her. I mean, it wasn't a painting or anything, but just, like, doodles.
Brooke
Multiple. Was that plural? That's fine. I heard. Come on, Alexis. When you had a crush on somebody in high school, I'm sure you, like, wrote his last name down or, you know, like, what's the difference? I didn't meet him in a supermarket and then draw. His face broke.
Julian
Fiona, are you feeling better now that you've heard that it's just doodles of you.
Ryan Seacrest
I. I mean, I guess it's flattering, but.
Alexis
Okay, we all agree a doodle is not crazy in depth, but it's more than a stick figure, right?
Julian
Maybe you need to talk more to Julian about it.
Jeffrey
If. If I'm being honest, like, I only draw people that I like. I draw my mom, my landlord, and. And you.
Julian
Oh, wow. He likes three people in the whole world.
Brooke
Come on, give him a break.
Ryan Seacrest
No, I don't need. I wish it had waited till you got to the car because, like, kissing you was kind of weird, but I guess it is to hear your explanation. Doesn't. It doesn't sound as weird.
Brooke
I mean, if he would have showed up. If he would have showed up to the next date with a cute little doodle drawing of you, that would have been like a. Right. Like it'd be a cute moment.
Julian
Alexis.
Brooke
No. What? He's an artist, you guys. He doesn't say that. He said he doodles three people. You don't have to be a professional artist to be an artist. Am I right? I got you.
Jeffrey
Like it should make a difference. And if we hang out again, I could definitely show you.
Alexis
Oh, see, now it feels harmless.
Julian
Yeah.
Brooke
What do you guys think it is? Like a topless doodle or something? It's just.
Fiona
Oh, my God.
Ryan Seacrest
Honestly, that was kind of my thought.
Brooke
Stop it.
Julian
It could be a very flattering topless doodle of you.
Alexis
Quick, scribble out the top of the photo.
Julian
Julian, can you confirm or deny?
Jeffrey
No comment.
Brooke
Hey, some of the best artists work with nude models, right?
Jeffrey
You saw Titanic.
Brooke
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
Now it feels a little weird.
Brooke
Okay, okay, Fiona, listen. He's got a little crush, which is totally normal. You went on a date, you liked each other. Like, if he hadn't said that out loud, I don't think any of this would have freaked you out.
Julian
Well, Brooke, maybe if you hadn't said the topless part about how sexy that would be. And maybe we wouldn't be in this weird scenario that we're in.
Alexis
I mean, she didn't say bottomless one time.
Brooke
My husband and I did each other portrait.
Julian
No, nobody believes that. Nobody believes there were clothes on. Okay, Fiona, disregard everything you heard from my female co host and just consider going out on a date with Julian one more time.
Jeffrey
Honestly, I've been on so many dates before and I've never drawn people. But you are worth drawing.
Brooke
Oh, you're worth drawing. Doodle worthy. No, I don't. I still don't. I'm Just repeating what he said.
Julian
She's trying.
Brooke
And I appreciate it that I'm gonna draw Alexis later.
Dan Flores
Okay.
Julian
What do you think, Fiona? Give him one more chance.
Ryan Seacrest
I think. Yeah, we can go out again.
Brooke
Yay. Oh, really? Bring the doodle.
Julian
Awesome.
Jeffrey
All right.
Alexis
Are you gonna bring it?
Ryan Seacrest
Maybe. Let's leave that for the third date.
Brooke
But that means there could be a third date.
Julian
Yay.
Alexis
Get your pens ready.
Jeffrey
Maybe I can doodle you in person.
Julian
Oh, is that like the brook style doodle or your own free form?
Brooke
Hey, all doodling is fun. J should give it a try.
Julian
Of course Brooke says that.

Podcast Summary: "Second Date Update: Doodle Worthy"
Episode Details:
The episode kicks off with Brooke and Jeffrey welcoming listeners to the show, introducing today's segment as a debate on whether certain dating gestures are creepy or romantic. They reference a previous listener story about a memorable first date involving a trip to Ross Dress for Less, which ultimately didn't lead to a lasting relationship due to complications. Brooke humorously remarks, "If you would have led with that part, I totally would have remembered" (03:51).
Brooke introduces Julian, a returning guest seeking love again. Julian shares that he met a new woman named Fiona at a supermarket, exchanging numbers and initiating text conversations. Jeffrey (Julian) expresses his optimism about the new relationship, stating, "I’m gonna lean more creepy. Yeah, yeah. You decide what the gesture is" (04:25).
Julian recounts the first date with Fiona:
After the date:
