Second Date Update: First Date Redate

Summary

Podcast Summary: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update – First Date Redate

Introduction and Show Context In the March 3, 2025 episode of "Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update" hosted by Brooke and Jeffrey on iHeartPodcasts, listeners are taken on a heartfelt and entertaining journey to explore the complexities of second chances in dating. The show’s primary mission is to reach out to individuals who experienced ghosting after a first date, uncover the real reasons behind the silence, and facilitate the possibility of securing a second date. As highlighted in the podcast description, the approach boasts a "low success rate...high entertainment for the rest of us," ensuring both drama and amusement for the audience.

Supporting a Good Cause and Special Edition Announcement The episode kicks off with Alexis expressing gratitude towards listeners for their ongoing support and the positive feedback on the show’s merchandise. She mentions, “Thank you so much for being here and love all of the comments still coming in about our great merch for a cause” (02:08). This merchandise initiative is particularly notable as “100% of proceeds go to LA Wildfire relief efforts” through Convoy of Hope, emphasizing the show's commitment to philanthropy.

To commemorate the episode, Brooke and Alexis announce a special edition: the "Redate" segment. Brooke quips, “It's the re Date. Yes. So sit back and enjoy second date update” (02:57), signaling a unique twist in their usual format.

Introducing Zach and Bethany's Story The focal point of this episode revolves around Zach, a recurring caller who previously shared his experience of meeting Bethany during one of his mobile bartending gigs at a backyard bachelor/bachelorette party. In the past, Bethany declined his advances, citing that "I basically talked about myself too much and my business too much" (05:05). Undeterred, Zach found himself reconnecting with Bethany at a subsequent event, leading to an unexpected development.

The Second Encounter: Sparks and Setbacks At a different bachelorette party where Zach was once again bartending, he and Bethany experienced a rekindling of their connection. Brooke inquires, “What happened when you and Bethany saw each other at this new bachelorette party?” (05:47), to which Zach responds that there was an immediate and intense spark: “First there was that deer in the headlights where we both just kind of locked eyes and froze for a second” (05:56). This encounter culminated in a brief make-out session, leaving both parties intrigued and conflicted.

However, despite this chemistry, Zach finds himself facing the same predicament as before—Bethany has gone quiet after their second meeting. Alexis laments, “So you're saying that she's not responding to you after your second bachelorette party make out?” (07:51), highlighting the recurring challenges of dating and ghosting.

Podcast Intervention: Calling Bethany Determined to understand Bethany's perspective and possibly rekindle their connection, Brooke and Alexis decide to reach out directly. Brooke explains, “We are having the exact same two second daters back on again” (08:11), setting the stage for a unique intervention.

The hosts initiate the call with nervous anticipation. Alexis nervously greets Bethany, “Hi, friend” (11:19), which leads to an awkward and brief exchange. Bethany is hesitant and clearly uncomfortable, repeatedly emphasizing, “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no” (11:26) and “I’m good” (11:53).

Bethany's Response and Zach's Appeal During the conversation, Bethany admits to the make-out session but insists it was a “mistake” (12:25). Alexis attempts to probe further, suggesting, “You could just go on one real date just to give it a shot” (14:58), to which Zach steps in to plead his case. He shares his passion and future ambitions, “I also want to integrate mobile karaoke with it as well” (15:34), showcasing his creative and romantic side.

Despite Zach’s heartfelt efforts, Bethany remains non-committal. She offers a glimmer of hope by mentioning a potential meeting at a future bachelorette party: “I am going to ask if you are bartending at a bachelorette party for a girl named Sienna next month” (16:57). This leaves the door slightly ajar but doesn’t guarantee an immediate reconciliation.

Hosts' Reflections and Conclusion Throughout the episode, Brooke and Alexis provide commentary and support, reflecting on the emotional dynamics at play. Brooke encourages Zach’s persistence, stating, “You are the MVP of today's phone call. Even if it did end in total utter failure” (19:10), highlighting the show's empathetic approach.

In wrapping up, the hosts acknowledge the unpredictability of relationships and the importance of not losing hope. Mark Seal adds humor, “When I'm drunk, I guess. But we're gonna get her. Third time” (18:35), underscoring the ongoing effort to help listeners navigate love and rejection.

Notable Quotes:

• “I'm getting deja vu all over again.” – Brooke (09:10)
• “First there was that deer in the headlights where we both just kind of locked eyes and froze for a second.” – Zach (05:56)
• “What would you do if mysterious drones appeared over your hometown?” – Gabe Leonors (01:07) (Note: This is from an ad snippet and not part of the main episode)

Conclusion The episode "Second Date Update: First Date Redate" masterfully blends humor, empathy, and real-life dating struggles to engage listeners. By facilitating direct communication between Zach and Bethany, Brooke and Jeffrey provide a platform for vulnerability and potential reconciliation. While the outcome remains uncertain, the episode serves as a testament to the complexities of modern dating and the enduring hope for second chances.

Yeah, it's the re Date. Yes. So sit back and enjoy second date update.

[Brooke]

Out of all the second dates we've done.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I mean, we're talking hundreds, thousands even.

[Alexis]

I think tens of thousands.

[Brooke]

Yeah, possibly.

[Alexis]

I mean, seriously.

[Brooke]

I know every once in a while I say this is a first.

[Alexis]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

But this one really is.

[Alexis]

Oh, you don't mean it the other times. Like, what does that mean?

[Brooke]

No, I mean, I mean it those other times, but this time I really mean it.

[Alexis]

I don't believe you.

[Brooke]

Because we have a return caller. His name is Zach. And you might remember he was on the show a while back, told us about his mobile bartending business that he does for parties and events and stuff.

[Alexis]

And he made pretty good money doing it.

[Brooke]

Exactly. Last time that he was on, he wanted us to call a woman named Bethany that he had met at one of those parties. Well, now he's back, and he wants us to call that same woman Bethany again. Again?

[Alexis]

What?

[Mark Seal]

But she knows us now.

[Alexis]

Dude, how did the last time go that we called her?

[Brooke]

I don't think it went well. Zach, are you okay? Did you hit your head? Cause we already did this. And she turned you down, right?

[Alexis]

Is that what happened?

[Zach]

Well, I just ran into her again, and we actually went on another first date.

[Alexis]

Oh, that would be a second date.

[Brooke]

Zach, if you go on. If you go out with the same girl two times, that's considered two separate dates.

[Mark Seal]

I do like two first dates, though.

[Alexis]

She said no to you on our radio show, and then you ran into her in person, and then she said yes.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah.

[Zach]

Yeah. Well, it was like a few months in between when we did that.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I didn't realize there's, like, a statute of limitations, you know, where after a certain point it, like, cancels. It resets.

[Alexis]

Well, it's probably just she had a lot of bad experiences in that couple of months, so she's like, I guess I'll try that guy okay, but for.

[Brooke]

Those of our listeners who don't know what happened the last time or who might not remember Bethany, could you jog our memory just a little bit?

[Zach]

Yeah, man. I met her while I was bartending a joint bachelor slash bachelorette backyard party. And she was just one of the guests.

[Brooke]

Okay, Right.

[Alexis]

And why did she not like you? Is that a bad. She said no. Right? Yeah. Yeah.

[Mark Seal]

He can recap.

[Brooke]

Yeah. What happened the first time?

[Zach]

Well, she said that I basically talked about myself too much and my business too much.

[Alexis]

Right.

[Mark Seal]

That's right.

[Brooke]

So it didn't work out the last time you were on the show, but now you're saying you ran into her again recently? Yeah. What happened in the second meetup?

[Zach]

Well, it's kind of funny, because I was bartending another bachelorette party.

[Alexis]

Oh, really?

[Zach]

She was at that one, too?

[Alexis]

Oh, my God. This is like, Alexis, how many times is this woman gonna be in a wedding?

[Zach]

I guess a lot of her friends are getting married right now, so she's bouncing from wedding to wedding.

[Alexis]

It tends to happen that way.

[Brooke]

Okay, so what happened when you and Bethany saw each other at this new bachelorette party?

[Mark Seal]

I know you.

[Alexis]

Was it that friendly? I'd be shocked.

[Zach]

First there was that deer in the headlights where we both just kind of locked eyes and froze for a second.

[Brooke]

How did the interaction go?

[Zach]

Well, I didn't open up very well. I started with, you know, hey, it's funny that a lot of your friends are getting snatched up and you're still single.

[Alexis]

Oh, that's a really good. Wow.

[Brooke]

You said that to her?

[Alexis]

I don't know. I think she may like it.

[Zach]

Yeah, I tried to stop it as it was coming out, but it didn't work. Oh, my gosh.

[Alexis]

What did you say back?

[Zach]

Well, she said something like, well, there you have it. That's why I didn't want another date with you. Oh, wow.

[Brooke]

Ah, yeah.

[Mark Seal]

Just reconfirming.

[Brooke]

Well, the sparks are just flying between you two right now.

[Alexis]

The romance.

[Mark Seal]

Brooke is right. Girls love being a little bit of mean. So you did get a date. How did you pivot?

[Zach]

Well, it wasn't really a date officially. It was like, we were hanging out at the bachelorette party while I was on break, and then we were hanging out in this garden area, and we actually kind of made out a little bit.

[Brooke]

Wait, what?

[Alexis]

Did you not have to work? Yes. It's his own business, Alexis. He makes his own. I'm like, did the bar close halfway through the party?

[Brooke]

Just open 20 beers and leave them on the counter. You got A make out.

[Zach]

I did. I got a make out.

[Brooke]

Well, okay. Of course she did, because she'd been drinking and you pointed out how lonely she is. So she felt the need to prove you wrong. Probably.

[Alexis]

Was it like, super drunk make out or did you guys actually connect?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Go into the details for Brooke. How much time?

[Mark Seal]

What button did you unbutton?

[Brooke]

Top or bottom?

[Alexis]

I wouldn't. I wouldn't interpret a drunk make out as she's. Someone's interested in me.

[Brooke]

That's true.

[Alexis]

She could just be like, especially any wedding scenario. And after they've turned me down.

[Zach]

Yeah, I beg to differ. I think she was definitely interested.

[Alexis]

Okay, what gave you those vibes?

[Brooke]

Probably the makeout.

[Zach]

Yeah, I mean, it just seemed like there were sparks flying because she didn't pull back. She seemed to be into it, and I was certainly into it.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Brooke]

All right.

[Alexis]

Okay. But now you're here. Yeah.

[Brooke]

So you're saying that she's not responding to you after your second bachelorette party make out?

[Zach]

That's correct. We're back at the square one.

[Alexis]

Back at square man. Dude, I am just dying to talk to her because she is going to be like, what? You are calling me again?

[Cheekies]

She's going to know.

[Alexis]

Yeah, she's going to know.

[Brooke]

Yeah. And that's what's funny. That's what makes this an actual first. We have two of the exact same people that are being called on the second date update and hoping that the second time goes better than the first. What do we do?

[Mark Seal]

Just go. Okay. Remember last time?

[Brooke]

Have you reconsidered?

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Mark Seal]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Bye.

[Alexis]

Could you answer differently?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

I mean, what's the strategy here?

[Mark Seal]

I want to. We should get her to talk about this last date and what her impression was. Right?

[Brooke]

Yeah. I mean, we'll just see if she even answers because she has our number two from the last time that we called.

[Alexis]

Yeah, I doubt anyone saves it.

[Brooke]

We're gonna find out. We're going for the very first time. A second date update. Redo.

[Mark Seal]

Will she answer?

[Brooke]

Is she. Is this gonna work out? It's coming up. We'll make that call right after this second date update. The great Yogi Berra once said, I'm getting deja vu all over again. And I think that's what I'm feeling right now.

[Alexis]

Who was Yogi Bear? Was it, like a sports guy?

[Brooke]

He was a. Hey, Boo Boo. How you doing?

[Alexis]

That's Yogi Bear.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, that's a cartoon, I think.

[Alexis]

Like, yeah. Baseball player. Right?

[Brooke]

You guys are so embarrassing to work with. You don't know anything. Look, the thing is, I'm having that deja vu feeling because we're having the exact same two second daters back on again. So you'd think the title of this would be Third Date Update, but not according to our listener Zach.

[Alexis]

I thought we could call it Groundhog's Day. Oh, Yogi Berra.

[Brooke]

Maybe.

[Alexis]

Yogi Berra. No one's gonna understand that.

[Brooke]

If you remember Zach, he's a mobile bartender who met a woman named Bethany at a joint bachelor bachelorette party. He was working. Bethany said no to us the first time that we called her.

[Alexis]

Yeah, I mean, very clearly.

[Brooke]

But fast forward months later, they meet again at a different bachelorette party, end up making out, and now she's not texting him back.

[Alexis]

Okay, there's no date in any of this story. Let's remember that.

[Brooke]

Making out is pretty close.

[Alexis]

No. Jazz, do you know how many dudes I made out with that I didn't even know their names?

[Brooke]

Like, it's interesting the things that you choose to brag about. I know.

[Alexis]

Bragging. I'm just saying, like, that's not real life, what you're saying.

[Brooke]

I wonder how Bethany is going to feel when we call her. And if she answers, she hears our voices again. Like, Zach, doesn't this feel weird to you at all? You seem so calm.

[Zach]

A little bit. I mean, come on. Things happen for a reason. And the fact that we ran into each other again just kind of sparked it for me. Like, you know, maybe there is something here and maybe fate stepping in.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's nice.

[Alexis]

I think that's a good way to interpret it. And if not, you're a chill guy.

[Brooke]

Like, and Brooke makes out with chill guys all the time without knowing their names.

[Alexis]

I'll make up with uptight guy. Whatever guy. I mean, I'm married now, so I can't. But before.

[Mark Seal]

He's also a chill guy, though.

[Brooke]

We'll see. Let's just call her. We'll see if she picks up. Here we go.

[Alexis]

Hi.

[Bethany]

Hello.

[Brooke]

Hi. Is this Bethany?

[Alexis]

So awkward for us, it is. Hi, friend.

[Brooke]

Bethany, it's your favorite morning show.

[Alexis]

Remember us?

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeff.

[Bethany]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Alexis]

It's good.

[Mark Seal]

Bethany.

[Alexis]

It's like a horror movie. Maybe we should just start to ask for. For a review of how the first time.

[Bethany]

I mean, it's not you. It's not you, it's me.

[Alexis]

Welcome back to the show, Bethany.

[Bethany]

No, no, Bethany.

[Brooke]

Bethany.

[Bethany]

Bethany.

[Alexis]

We've been here.

[Bethany]

We've done this. I'm. I'm good.

[Alexis]

We're good.

[Brooke]

No, Bethany, you don't. You have no idea what we're even calling about.

[Bethany]

No, I do. I do. You know I do. Don't make me do this again.

[Brooke]

Bethany, look, I. I hear you. I really want to respect your wishes, but we have a job to do on this show. Certain strapping hunk of a man who was doing his job serving you drinks recently at a bachelorette party.

[Bethany]

You know, Zach, I've been trying to forget.

[Alexis]

Yes, we heard the second time was.

[Mark Seal]

Way smoother than the first.

[Bethany]

Guys, it was a mistake. It was.

[Alexis]

Wait, are you about. Was it the makeout session was a mistake?

[Bethany]

Yeah, obviously.

[Brooke]

Are you sure? Because it is interesting that the two of you keep randomly running into each other when you're at your most vulnerable. Bethany.

[Bethany]

Yeah, all of my friends keep getting married and apparently only know one bartender.

[Alexis]

Were you shocked? Like, what were you thinking the first moment you saw Zach?

[Bethany]

That I need to talk to the maid of honor at the next party. I'm going to show this doesn't happen again.

[Alexis]

Come on.

[Brooke]

Who are booking for the bar?

[Alexis]

Wasn't there, like, just a little bit of you that was excited to see him?

[Bethany]

I mean, I guess a little bit, because I did end up making out with him, but it was like the tiniest. I mean, the teeniest. The tiniest.

[Brooke]

Okay, well, we want to talk to that teeny, tiny little part of you.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, get her on the phone and.

[Brooke]

Reintroduce that tiny part of you to Zach, who you know is already listening and desperately wants to talk to you.

[Bethany]

Oh, my God. I forgot that was how it works.

[Mark Seal]

Zach?

[Brooke]

Zach, you there?

[Zach]

Yeah. Here we are back again.

[Bethany]

What are you doing? I told you that that was a one time mistake.

[Brooke]

You said that.

[Zach]

You said it was a good mistake, though, so I took that so hard.

[Bethany]

I just remember saying it was a mistake. I mean, honestly, I made out with a lot of guys that night, so I wouldn't say that it was like that.

[Zach]

I was probably the last guy you made out with, so, you know, I must be the ringer. Does that count?

[Brooke]

The ringer?

[Alexis]

Is that the part of the lineup you want to be in?

[Zach]

I figured you were kind and, I mean, you trusted me to call you an Uber where you didn't trust anyone else to call one for you.

[Brooke]

Oh, see, that's true.

[Bethany]

Because you were the one serving all of us drink. Everyone else was drinking.

[Brooke]

I mean, Bethany, what we were just talking about before we called you is stuff like fate and destiny. Things happen for a reason.

[Alexis]

Oh, no, that's a little Thick Jeff. Or that it was just being drunk at weddings? Yeah, I mean, I would think that you keep running into each other. There's a tiny bit of you that's obviously attracted to him. Why not go on one real date just to give it a shot? What's the worst that could happen? I mean, you've already drunkenly made out with him. I mean.

[Bethany]

I mean, actually did that twice. But there is a big difference between drunkenly making out with somebody and then dating the bartender.

[Alexis]

Dating on the one date. We're just asking for one date. That's it. One chance. One.

[Mark Seal]

Come on. You know he's a good kisser.

[Alexis]

Oh, yeah, good point. We didn't ask her that.

[Brooke]

I mean, Zack, you're the one who has been calling us all these times, wanting to connect with her. I'll give you 20 seconds here to say your piece. Convince Bethany to meet up with you one more time.

[Zach]

Okay, you know what? If dating a successful mobile bartender isn't really a dream come true for you, I do have bigger goals than that.

[Alexis]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Zach]

I also want integrate mobile karaoke with it as well.

[Brooke]

That's actually smart playing.

[Alexis]

It's much better than the sober karaoke mobile dj.

[Zach]

Right? You can come get your confidence from me and then go ahead and sing your song right after.

[Mark Seal]

Dude, all you need is a bed situation. And you kind of have a mobile home at this point.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Mark Seal]

Come party, have a drink and lay down.

[Brooke]

Is that a selling point for you, Bethany? I'm not really sure.

[Zach]

One thing you probably don't know about is that, you know, I was basically raised in a trailer, and for my ninth birthday, I got a microphone in a boombox and I used it. I kind of have a natural sound in my voice as well. I wouldn't be surprised if it wooed you just hearing it.

[Brooke]

Oh, really?

[Alexis]

I want to woo. Your singing voice is really good.

[Brooke]

Are we gonna hear a serenade?

[Zach]

Yeah.

[Mark Seal]

Get to wooing, bro.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow. Go for it.

[Zach]

You've lost that loving feeling.

[Brooke]

Oh, whoa.

[Zach]

That loving feeling.

[Brooke]

All right. Okay.

[Alexis]

He sounds so fun. Go on one date. Come on.

[Brooke]

And we'll pay for it. Remember, Bethany, if you say yes, the date's on us. It won't be a wedding.

[Alexis]

Come on, do it for the plot.

[Bethany]

I can't. I'm not saying that like I never want to see you again, but I am going to ask if you are bartending at a bachelorette party for a girl named Sienna next month. Because if you are, I'm going to have to change my rsvp.

[Mark Seal]

Do it for Sienna.

[Alexis]

He's a romantic at heart. What a guy.

[Zach]

I am. And it looks solid, so there's a good chance you'll see me there.

[Alexis]

That book's solid, Zach.

[Brooke]

You're her kryptonite. Every time that she's around you, she goes weak.

[Alexis]

Oh.

[Bethany]

I mean, I don't know if it's him or the mojito, but he may.

[Brooke]

Serve a strong drink. It's the perfect combo. It's all leading you towards Zach. So it might be a no from you now, Bethany, but it could be possible next month at Sienna's bachelorette party.

[Mark Seal]

Third make out sess.

[Alexis]

I say third time on this show, call back. Yeah, it's gonna be like 50 first dates all over again.

[Mark Seal]

Finally, the sixth time, she goes, I'll go out with you.

[Brooke]

We will call you 100 times until you agree.

[Alexis]

Just cr. She's laughing, not crying. Right.

[Zach]

Well, you know, I think fate will lend a hand and do its thing. And I've got a good feeling we'll see each other next month.

[Brooke]

Oh, my gosh. Get your Uber app open, Bethany. He's gonna dial it for you. Oh, my God, look at Jeffrey in the morning. So, yeah, when it comes to Bethany and Zach, we are O for two.

[Alexis]

I really thought we were gonna get her right there. I thought that she was like, okay, I'll give him a chance.

[Mark Seal]

She's coming around. She's admitted. Yeah, he's pretty good kisser.

[Alexis]

Y.

[Mark Seal]

When I'm drunk, I guess. But we're gonna get her. Third time.

[Brooke]

That's the thing. Over two is not three strikes. You're out. Zach is still in this game for a couple more swings.

[Mark Seal]

He just has to, like, run into her again.

[Alexis]

I. Guys, I think we're done. No, don't quit. No. Brooke, are you with me?

[Brooke]

Brooke, I was so proud of you during this segment.

[Alexis]

I gave him my dad.

[Brooke]

I really thought in part one, you were not very on board with Zach trying again after the rejection. I think you called him sad and.

[Alexis]

Desperate, but did not say that.

[Brooke]

Something like that. But by the end, you were really on board with Zach pulling for him.

[Alexis]

I think he's a sweet guy. I do. I just think.

[Brooke]

Just stop there.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Brooke]

You know, don't need to say anymore. Brooke, you are my MVP of today's phone call. Even if it did end in total utter failure. You could take the MVP on this one.

[Alexis]

Okay, I guess. You're welcome.

[Mark Seal]

Good work, bro.

[Brooke]

And remember, Brooke can be the MVP for you if you email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back no matter how many times you've run out to them and they've said no.

[Alexis]

I'd like to say after twice, we're just gonna call it no.

[Brooke]

Yeah, no negative attitudes here. And you won't any negative attitudes on our podcast either. You'll find them wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey.

[Eric Andre]

Hey, what's up, y'all? This is Eric Andre. Well, I made a podcast called Bombing about absolutely tanking on stage. I tell gnarly stories and I talk to friends about their worst moments of bombing in all sorts of ways. Bombing on stage, bombing in public, bombing in life. I want to know what's the worst way they've ever bombed? Or have they ever performed way too drunk or high? Or was there ever a time where they thought they were going to crush and they stunk it up? Listen to Bombing with Eric andre on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Brooke]

With Eric Andre.

[Gabe Leonors]

What would you do if mysterious drones appeared over your hometown? I started asking questions. What do you remember happening on that night of December 16th?

It actually rotated around our house, looking as if it was peering in each window of our home.

[Emila]

I'm Emila, host of the podcast Crumbs. For years I had to rely on other people to tell me my story. And what I heard wasn't good. You really. Last night, it felt like I lived most of my life in a blackout. I was trapped in addiction. I had to grab the lamp and smashed it against the walls. And then I decided I wanted to tell my own story. Listen to crumbs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
