Holly
Hi, guys. How are you?
Brooke
Did you go with the extra padding like I did or the extra strength? I'm joking. That's a joke. I'm sorry.
Jeff
She knew a little bit too much about it.
Brooke
That was supposed to be funny. And you didn't laugh?
Holly
Oh, I'm laughing.
Jeff
Okay. Just when it was quiet inside.
Peter Tilden
Yeah.
Jeff
Okay, so tell us, what did you try new with this guy? What's his name, by the way?
Holly
So his name is Justin.
Jeff
Okay, what did you and Justin try?
Holly
So we met on the apps, and while we were chatting, we were talking about pizza toppings.
Jose
Oh, this is actually a really good call combo. I should really.
Alexis
I don't feel like it lasts that long. What do you like?
Peter Tilden
What do you like?
Jose
I like everything. Oh, okay.
Peter Tilden
Okay.
Holly
Well, I mean, it got me to a date, so it's pretty good.
Jose
You'd be like. Some people like mushrooms. You go over each topic.
Jeff
Is that what you guys were doing? Like comparing favorites?
Holly
Yes. So that's how we got into the trying new things. His was sausage, which is a classic.
Jeff
Oh, possibly a euphemism too, but yeah.
Holly
Gosh, I hope not. Okay, I warned him that mine. Mine was the one that was different. I have a weird topping. So my. I said it's Froot Loops.
Brooke
Fruit Loops on pizza. Who is serving that to you?
Holly
So it was something that I had as a kid and I kind of just love it. It's like sweet and savory.
Peter Tilden
You know, put it on your pizza.
Jose
As a kid, got acquired to the.
Alexis
Taste and now it's like bring it to restaurants.
Peter Tilden
Yeah.
Brooke
How does it work?
Jeff
Okay, we're breaking down the fruit pizza.
Jose
This is important.
Brooke
This is why she brings the conversation up. Because it is just a one and done.
Jeff
Okay, so this must be the new thing that he tried.
Holly
Yes.
Brooke
God, you must be hot.
Jeff
Maybe it's really good, Brooke.
Jose
I don't know. You got to taste it right now in your head.
Jeff
Okay, so you guys did a tasting for your guys meetup.
Jose
Did you guys both have to eat each other's. Is that what I'm assuming? You're like, you got to eat the sausage and I'm going to eat the fruit loop kind of vibe.
Holly
I mean, I've had sausage on pizza. I think he was more curious about what. What I was talking about.
Peter Tilden
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Jose
So his was like minimal.
Brooke
Yours, I gotta know his face.
Jeff
Run us through it. How did this go?
Holly
Okay, so we met at a pizza place. It was late at night. I had to do like a work thing. So it was like 9:30.
Alexis
Oh, you're doing this in public.
Jose
Oh, wow.
Holly
Yeah, this is. So we got. We got a large pizza, but we brought it back to my place. We got it to go.
Jeff
That's the trick.
Jose
So you're not embarrassed in the middle of a pizza hut.
Holly
I'm not embarrassed. Embarrassed by it.
Peter Tilden
I just.
Holly
We needed to get like the perfect fruit loop ratio.
Jose
You gotta put it on yourself.
Jeff
Okay.
Holly
Yeah, I didn't put it on myself.
Brooke
Was he nervous or was this fun for you guys? You're laughing through it all.
Holly
No, we were like laughing through it. We had. We had a great time I felt like we really bonded. He tried it and he said that he liked it, which I don't know if I fully believe, but he was. He was sweet about it, you know?
Brooke
Did he say in between gagging?
Jose
Yeah.
Jeff
With blood coming out of his mouth.
Holly
It's really not as bad as you think.
Jeff
Okay. All right. Well, good. He liked your. That must feel good.
Holly
Yeah, I mean, I thought it was. I thought it went really great and we had a fun conversation. But I did feel really bad because we had to cut things short. And I don't want to get into specifics at the moment, but he left probably around midnight. So I did feel bad that he had to leave and he had to leave.
Jeff
Whoa.
Brooke
I mean, that doesn't feel, like short to me. Like it's midnight if it's a nice day.
Jose
Yeah.
Brooke
If you're not going to stay the night, if you aren't going there, then that seems fine.
Jeff
Why do you feel bad?
Holly
We had talked about spending the night together previously.
Jeff
Promises were made and promises weren't kept.
Peter Tilden
Oh, no.
Brooke
But that's okay. Things change. Life happens. You know, like he had some fruit loops.
Jose
Maybe he followed his nose all the way home.
Peter Tilden
Right.
Jose
You can't say I'm nobody.
Brooke
I got it.
Jose
Keep that in. Ashley, that was a good joke.
Holly
I mean, I like him and that's why I am reaching out to you guys. Like, I need your help here.
Jeff
Oh, yeah, okay.
Peter Tilden
That's what we're here for.
Brooke
I mean, he does sound fun. Like he's a guy who's ready to try new.
Jeff
He's willing.
Brooke
Absolutely. If it's the reason that he had to go home instead to stay the night. And that's why he's not calling you back.
Peter Tilden
He's.
Jose
No way.
Brooke
He sucks.
Jose
Yeah, exactly. I don't like her pizza toppings.
Holly
Yeah, right.
Brooke
What else do you think it could be?
Jose
You didn't, like, stab him or anything, did you?
Holly
No, I didn't. I didn't do that.
Peter Tilden
Okay.
Jeff
She takes all that question so seriously. Okay, but we're gonna come back, we're gonna call Justin for you, and we're gonna try and figure out why he' avoiding you.
Holly
Great. Thank you guys, so much.
Jeff
Optimistic. If we're going to continue with your second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update? When a man really likes a woman, he will do anything for her.
Holly
It's true.
Jeff
He'll go to Target with her on a football Sunday.
Alexis
Wow, what a sacrifice.
Jeff
He'll snap 500 photos of her so she can get the perfect Insta Post.
Peter Tilden
Absolutely.
Jose
I gotta take good pictures.
Jeff
He will even lie about Froot Loops tasting good.
Jose
Okay, now this is where we're talking.
Jeff
That's why our listener Holly, cannot let this guy Justin slip away. Because he wasn't just willing to try her weird favorite pizza topping, Froot Loops, but actually swallow it and say.
Jose
Did we get confirmation?
Peter Tilden
He said, yum.
Brooke
No, he said it. It's fine.
Jose
He swallowed it.
Brooke
That's interesting.
Jeff
It's a good man right there. Sadly, their date ended a bit early, so she needs our help. Brooke, how are you feeling about this?
Brooke
I just am still stuck on that pizza thing. I can't get over it. I can't get over the Fruit Loops. I want to. I have, like, a million.
Alexis
I want to try it.
Brooke
Yeah, like, is it just cheese that you add it to? Or do you buy a cheese with a vegetable and you add it on there, like.
Jeff
Holly, where's your head at?
Holly
Well, are we talking about the Fruit Loops?
Brooke
It's hard not to. It's hard for me to concentrate on anything else.
Holly
Yes. It's just on cheese. It's not a bunch of other toppings.
Jeff
But, Holly, you're right. We don't need to break down the Fruit Loops anymore. We really should concentrate on Justin and getting you back together with him for another date.
Jose
Are you hopeful at least?
Holly
I'm trying to be.
Jose
Okay, well, that's good.
Brooke
As hopeful as he was on that.
Jeff
First bite, I'm feeling optimistic. I'm gonna dial his number right now. We'll see if he answers. Here we go. Hey, is this Justin?
Justin
Yeah, who's this?
Jeff
We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Brooke
Hey, Justin.
Jose
Hey, good morning.
Jeff
My name is Jeff.
Justin
Okay, cool.
Jose
Of Brooke and Jeffrey.
Jeff
Yeah, you're supposed to be impressed or something.
Brooke
Okay, why we're calling Jeff.
Jeff
No, I know we're probably interrupting your day.
Justin
What is this about?
Jeff
Yeah, we're. We're doing a segment. It's called Second Date Update, but it.
Brooke
Could be food reviews, because I am really curious to hear how you really feel about one thing.
Jeff
Yeah, we'll get to that in a second. But, yeah, we're all excited for that, but we're more excited to talk to you about a girl you went out.
Brooke
With named Holly, who honestly sounds lovely.
Jeff
Wait, what? Yeah, Holly.
Justin
Holly.
Jeff
She listens to our show and told us about the date that you guys had where you went to the pizza place and tried the Fruit Loop. Pizza.
Brooke
Yeah, back at her place.
Justin
Yeah.
Jeff
And now you two haven't really connected since that night?
Justin
Yeah. No, no. I mean, did you tell you that she asked me to spend the night and it didn't?
Jose
Yeah, well, she said.
Brooke
I thought you guys. I thought you guys discussed stay in the night. It sounds like you're insulted by that.
Justin
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not insulting. She asked me, like, it was like a whole thing early on. Like we were leading all up to that. At least that's. That's what I thought. And then, like, okay, I don't know, man. Around midnight, she gets this text or something like that. Her phone goes off and she says, like, I'm so sorry you're going to hate me, but I need to leave and you do too. And I'm like, what? Like, yeah, something came up and she had to take care of it. And I'm like, okay. I was like, it's another guy. Okay, so it's a booty call.
Brooke
And I'm like, why would you think it's a booty?
Jeff
Honestly, he's probably thinking that because she's leaving at midnight.
Brooke
Yeah, she already has a booty call there. Yeah, I know. That's like, what?
Jeff
But maybe that's why he thinks it's like. He thinks it's like, a better guy that called, and she's like, oh, actually.
Alexis
Let'S be real. There is.
Jeff
At least in his mind. So is. Is that where your head was at, Justin?
Justin
100%. And that's not. No. Maybe some guys might want to be interested in that, but, like, not me.
Jason Alexander
Okay.
Brooke
Why wouldn't you ask her? Why wouldn't you say. Can you tell me? Because this is what I'm thinking. This what is happening.
Justin
I'm not gonna, like, suggest to her on the spot that there might be another guy. But, like, I asked her about it, don't get me wrong. And she was, like, super cagey about it. Okay.
Brooke
My first thought is, there's, like, a drunk roommate downtown that she has to go rescue.
Justin
Or there's no reason why she should keep that secret if it's something like that.
Jeff
Okay. Embarrassed when you followed her out afterwards all the way to wherever she went? You didn't learn anything from that?
Brooke
It's not a bad idea, though, Alexis. That is creepy.
Alexis
I mean, I bring a friend so I'm not alone.
Jose
A midnight spy.
Justin
We walked down the stairs, we got in our separate cars.
Holly
It was.
Justin
It was awkward. It was super awkward. And I didn't. I didn't know what to say. And we parted our ways at that.
Jose
Point, and she knew we Were going to hate me.
Brooke
Everyone needs to slow down on this because she called us to get a hold of you. She literally said I like this guy.
Jeff
But I mean, she didn't tell us why. Maybe her main priority guy fell off. So this is like backup duty now.
Brooke
In a three day period? The guy felt. Come on.
Jose
I don't know.
Peter Tilden
Let's.
Jeff
Let's ask her. Because you don't know this Justin, but she is on the other line right now waiting to talk to you.
Justin
Oh great.
Brooke
She heard everything.
Jeff
Great.
Holly
Hi, Justin.
Justin
Hey, how you doing?
Jeff
She sounds guilty. Did he catch you?
Holly
No. Well.
Brooke
No, wait, no. Did you actually go hook up with a different dude because a better one called you?
Holly
Oh my. No, no, that's not what happened. I feel terrible because I left so abruptly, but it was not for another guy. It's an embarrassing reason and it's going to sound ridiculous, but I left for a pair of pants.
Peter Tilden
Okay, what's your real reason? That was a good practice.
Jeff
What does that mean?
Holly
I'm being honest. There's a shop. Okay, this is embarrassing. There's a shop near me called Planet of the Pants and they were having an event where everyone lines up around midnight to get these dance pants. And my friends, My friends and I have these plans for like we. And I totally forgot about it. I totally forgot about them.
Jose
I don't know if I believe it.
Jeff
It's too elaborate for it to be a lie.
Peter Tilden
But also it's cute as hell.
Alexis
You know, what you do for a nice pair of pants.
Brooke
That is. That is way too embarrassing to tell a guy. Hey, by the way, I gotta cancel our hookup because I'm meeting my ladies for some dance pants.
Peter Tilden
Yeah, he would be insulted.
Jose
I get it now. Because if she says that, it'd be like you're choosing pants over me.
Alexis
Well, you should understand fashion.
Jeff
Justin. Justin. How does it feel that you got ditched for a pair of pants?
Peter Tilden
Yeah.
Justin
Yeah, it's the weirdest thing. I don't like being ditched for a pair of pants.
Brooke
What?
Peter Tilden
Come on.
Brooke
Come on.
Jose
I know the girls can't comprehend, but like.
Justin
But like, look, if you're really telling me the truth, like you gotta promise me that you're telling me the truth because I would forgive you if this is true.
Holly
I have the receipt from the night.
Jeff
With that and the pants, presumably.
Brooke
Yeah, but how does she feel that he's still not believing her until she.
Jose
Don'T know any each other?
Jeff
Brooke, you know what it's like in the dating world. You should be skeptical of Everything the other person says.
Jose
Brooke, you're so. You're dating so much.
Brooke
I. I'm not from this show. I know that.
Jeff
Discount pants aside, let. Let's not forget about the Fruit Loops. You guys bonded over that.
Brooke
That's all I actually wanted to hear.
Jose
Richards, bro, did you like it? Did you like the Fruit Loop pizza?
Justin
I actually did. I thought it was a perfect combination of sweet and salty.
Jose
We have to try it now. A show.
Brooke
This is the only man for you. Yeah, that's it.
Jeff
Justin, her entire relationship lies in your hands right now. If you want to go out with her one more time, we will pay for a date for the two of you.
Brooke
She'll wear the pants on the date.
Justin
Oh, yeah, do that. That'd be funny, actually. All right. I'm actually really glad that you guys reached out because, like, I was just gonna ignore you, so.
Brooke
Let'S not end with that note.
Jeff
But, Justin, a yes from you then.
Justin
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
Jeff
I mean, it wasn't a yes.
Jason Alexander
Yeah, sure.
Peter Tilden
Okay.
Jeff
Well, awesome. We're gonna send you guys out on another date.
Holly

Jeff

Alexis
Oh, yeah.
Jeff
Just going back to the caveman days when the brute male would beat a saber toothed tiger over the head with a club. And the cave lady is like, ooh, I want the skin to make a peplum blouse with. You can keep all the meat.
Jose
Oh, I want the paws for a clutch.
Brooke
I'm pretty sure that's how it went.
Jeff
I know.
Brooke
Yeah.
Peter Tilden
Wow.
Jeff
I mean, the thing is, Justin and Holly sound like actually there might be a good match.
Brooke
Similar sense of humor. He was just so jaded from the dating world.
Jeff

Brooke
That is a great name.
Jon Stewart
