1. Aaron’s Celebration and How They Met

• Aaron celebrates landing a new job by going out to several bars with friends. At one bar, he and his group strike up a conversation with a nearby group of women.
• He zeroes in on Carrie, the “cute one,” and the conversation flows so well that he invites her out for another drink the following weekend, playfully promising to pay after his first paycheck (04:43–05:35).

  • “I have the new job. I'll buy you a drink, but not here. I'll buy for you next weekend when we go out.” — Aaron (05:33)

2. The First Official Date

• Aaron and Carrie’s solo date repeats the talky vibe of their first encounter, though Aaron wonders if he should have planned more of an activity (05:59–06:11).
• The conversation takes a turn to "bad date" and "worst kiss" stories, which gets a bit awkward but relatable.
• Quote:
  • “She started talking about worst kisses she's ever had.” — Aaron (07:07)

3. The Kissing Experiment

• They follow ChatGPT’s instructions on kissing—just enough to break the tension and create a memorable moment.
• Quote:
  • “We have to try this to see if it’s right.” — Aaron (08:15)

4. The Ghosting & Aaron’s Confusion

• After the date, Aaron receives no replies to his texts (09:25–11:04).

The "Pudge Muffin" Twist

The dream of the 90s is alive in podcast form.

[Carrie Brownstein]

Kyle is going for it Here you fully improvised not just words, but a song about.

[Aaron]

Well, I thought you were all going

[Jeff]

to write a song.

[Carrie Brownstein]

I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia AO rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or. Or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Brooke]

All right, it's Monday. I know, I know. We'll get through it together, I promise.

[Kaylee Contreras]

I hear tears from some of the listeners.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I stayed up way too late last night watching a movie. Yeah, drop dead gorgeous classic 90s film. You should.

[Kaylee Contreras]

I haven't seen it.

[Brooke]

Oh, everyone should go watch it. It's so good. But besides that, we got a new episode for you today. Before we get to it, we'd love to highlight comments.

[Kaylee Contreras]

Yes, Kaylee Contreras said. I've been a listener for years and I've told so many people about this podcast. I was surprised to find out that a friend used to listen to you guys on the radio in all caps.

[Jeff]

Uh oh.

[Kaylee Contreras]

Recently though, my coworker heard me listening because my AirPod disconnected and my phone played out loud. Needless to say, she too is a listener of the podcast. Dude, that's awesome. And has graduated from the TikTok Minecraft videos.

[Jeff]

Yay.

[Brooke]

There it is. Yeah, those TikTok Minecraft videos, those are people who, like, rip off our audio. So I'm glad you found the original source.

[Kaylee Contreras]

Yeah. And led your friends to us, too. Thank you. That's so sweet.

[Brooke]

So cool. All right, your brand new episode starts right now.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeff]

You know what's better than getting the new job that you were hoping for? It's when your friends back you up and want to take you out to celebrate.

[Brooke]

That feels so good.

[Jeff]

If you can go anywhere to celebrate, where would you go? Rainforest Cafe? Nordstrom Rack? Sbarro.

[Brooke]

They don't have margaritas at Sbarro, Jeff. I'm just gonna throw that out there.

[Jeff]

That's authentic New York pizza, though.

Yeah, that's better than margaritas. I personally have no idea how to celebrate such a happy achievement, but it's good that we have somebody on the phone who does know the answer. His name is Aaron. So, Aaron, first of all, thanks for being on with us. Your email said that you just landed a new job. Where did you go to celebrate?

[Aaron]

We went out celebrating to a few bars, actually.

[Brooke]

Oh, few bars. Okay.

[Jeff]

That's not a food court.

Yeah, it's not what I was imagining. I was thinking Orange Julius maybe.

[Brooke]

No wonder Jeff wasn't invited.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I'm craving a food court now. Like, who loves a Pretzel.

Yeah, that was my bad. Anyway, so. So while you were out celebrating, your email says that's when you met somebody. So tell us that story.

[Aaron]

Yes. Well, we're the table next to us is a group of girls, and after a couple of drinks, we started chatting it up with them. And the cute one, her name is Carrie. Like, she was actually talking to me the most, and we're making jokes.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. Could your night get any better? You're celebrating a new job. You got the cute girl talking to you like you're on fire right now.

[Jeff]

It could get better if you stop off at Sabara before you go home. So that's one way. But I don't know you live.

[Aaron]

I guess I just got lucky that night. But the conversation was good and we were getting along so well. I. I made my move and I said, I have the new job. I'll buy you a drink, but not here. I'll buy for you next weekend when we go out.

[Carrie]

Oh, nice.

[Brooke]

I like that.

[Jeff]

Because you didn't have your paycheck yet from the job.

[Brooke]

You gotta wait till that deposit hits. Okay, girl?

[Carrie]

Okay.

[Jeff]

For now, virgin daiquiris.

[Brooke]

You enjoy.

[Aaron]

Yeah, right.

[Carrie]

Okay.

[Brooke]

That's a great way to ask somebody out to be flirty. Keep it fun.

[Jeff]

Definitely playful. So did you end up meeting up again?

[Aaron]

We did.

[Ari Chambers]

Okay.

[Aaron]

But that was the thing. We. We got together and I was thinking maybe I should have planned an activity because we had already just kind of hung out and talked, you know, the first time we met. So this time we just did the same thing again.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Oh, it didn't feel as, like, fun.

[Brooke]

Well, I mean, you started on the high high, right? Because you were like, riding life that night. And then when you just go to have one drink at a quiet bar,

[Kaylee Contreras]

it's like one on one.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jeff]

You're making it sound like the conversation was really bad.

[Aaron]

Well, it got weird and we started talking. You know, she was telling me about bad dating experiences that she had.

[Jeff]

It's weird that she would bring that up in the middle of this date.

[Aaron]

Yeah, exactly. It's like, why is this the association you're having?

[Carrie]

Right, right.

[Jeff]

He's just be like, hey, hanging out with you reminds me of other bad dates that I've been on. Yeah, exactly.

[Brooke]

Though I think it's a pretty common first date topic, isn't it?

[Jeff]

Because you can relate.

[Aaron]

I want to believe you.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah. I mean, were they back and forth? Did you have other bad date horror stories to share with her?

[Aaron]

Well, I shared a little bit but she was just really passionate about this topic. And then she started talking about worst kisses she's ever had.

[Brooke]

Oh, we're just going to keep going.

[Jeff]

Oh, man.

Hopefully we go through all the bases. But, yeah, start with the kisses, bro. Be creative.

Use that. Be like, was it something like this?

Hope she doesn't say, yes, I know how to kiss. Absolutely awful.

Oh, I'm terrible.

[Brooke]

Bring it in.

[Aaron]

Bring it in. Yeah.

[Jeff]

Okay, well, Jose and I have our next line, so.

[Aaron]

Okay.

[Jeff]

Thank you for giving us that.

[Brooke]

Do you think she realized that maybe she had gone too far in the worst stories?

[Carrie]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

Category?

[Aaron]

No, absolutely not.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Aaron]

So then after a while, I just didn't know what to say. I said, well, what if we ask ChatGPT what is the best way to kiss?

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Because an AI robot definitely would have good tips.

[Aaron]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

A lot of experience.

[Aaron]

I just wanted to switch it up. That was all I was doing. Just change the.

[Carrie]

Okay.

[Aaron]

Change the tone a little bit.

[Brooke]

So, yeah. Was she able to laugh? Was it a funny moment doing that?

[Aaron]

So it's funny there. Then it was suggesting, you know, don't make it too moist, not too aggressive. Turn your head.

[Brooke]

Okay. So it doesn't sound funny. It sounds actually more like a serious. Pretty, like, magical.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

Okay.

[Aaron]

We were laughing a little bit at the time. Then I'm like, we have to try this to see if it's right.

[Jeff]

Oh, the instructions that ChatGPT give gave you for kissing.

[Aaron]

Exactly. Exactly. Okay.

[Jeff]

This isn't Google Maps. You shouldn't need, like, directions for this.

[Carrie]

I don't know.

[Brooke]

I think it's a cute way to get a first kiss. He's using it.

[Jeff]

All right. Was she open to trying to.

[Aaron]

She was. And so then we kissed right there in the bar.

[Kaylee Contreras]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

How are the instructions?

[Jeff]

How was the moisture?

[Aaron]

Well, we were drinking, so there was a high moisture content.

[Brooke]

What are you feeling right then?

[Aaron]

I felt pretty good because it started off in such an awkward spot, and then it, you know, ended up like we're kissing and having a great time. So I was happy about it. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeff]

It's not very often you get wingmanned by your chat GPT, dude.

[Aaron]

Yeah. Really?

[Brooke]

AI's been useful.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

So it's not wingman. That's a wing Computer computer. Wing bottom.

[Troy Millings]

Yeah.

[Carrie]

Okay.

[Jeff]

So how did you and Carrie leave things that night?

[Aaron]

Well, I walked her to her car and gave her a goodbye kiss. And, yeah. We're like, all right, we'll talk. Talk soon. It was kind of just. I thought everything was fine.

[Brooke]

Yeah. There would be no Doubt in my mind that I would get a call back after a night like that.

[Aaron]

And it's okay.

[Jeff]

Like, the first kiss is stressful, but once you, like, get through that, then the kissing flood. You can just kiss whenever, right? Kind of like.

[Brooke]

Yeah, bring it in here.

[Jeff]

Yeah, Kiss like, five times. That's a.

You guys get a little excited.

[Kaylee Contreras]

I have kisses. It's, like, swerving in her skin.

[Jeff]

How long has it been since you kissed someone, Brooke?

It's been years.

[Brooke]

My husband's been out of town all week.

[Jeff]

Oh, God. All right, we got to end this before it gets any weirder. So we're going to come back, we will call Carrie for you and hopefully continue what you started with the kissing train when we do your second date update right after this. Hold on.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeff]

If you're just joining us, we've been talking to our listener Aaron about his date, which involved Brooke's three favorite things.

Yeah, drinking.

[Brooke]

Let's go kissing.

[Jeff]

And getting your AI involved on how to get to second base.

[Brooke]

No, I'm gonna go with more kissing. More kissing, Jeff, is the third thing.

[Jeff]

I think Brooke wants a whole kissing data center installed.

She sure does. The thing is, I'm only slightly exaggerating with that because that'll probably happen on the next date if we can actually get this done. But actually, Aaron did ask his chat bot what's the best way to lock lips.

[Brooke]

Okay. And he didn't do it, actually, for advice. It was, like, supposed to be a funny moment between the two of them. Yeah, I feel like that should be said.

[Jeff]

They've been discussing bad kissing before then. So it led to that question. And once they got an answer, they had to test it out multiple times. In the bar, by the car, under a star.

[Brooke]

There it is.

[Jeff]

Near and far.

[Brooke]

Thank you all.

[Jeff]

All the places. Anyways, afterwards, there's been no communication, and more importantly, no moisture. So Aaron needs our help.

[Brooke]

It's really sad. It's just all dried up over there. Aren't you, Aaron now?

[Aaron]

I am. Yeah. Dry as the Sahara right now.

[Jeff]

Oh, no, that's just sad.

[Brooke]

And you texted her. I mean, I guess we never really went over that. You texted her a couple times. And you've heard nothing?

[Aaron]

Nothing at all. I mean, now it's just getting embarrassing.

[Carrie Brownstein]

That's right.

[Brooke]

So let's call her.

[Jeff]

Yeah, let's embarrass ourselves. Yeah, we'll do it on your behalf. I'm going to dial Carrie's number right now. Let's see if she picks Up.

[Carrie]

Hello?

[Jeff]

Hey, is this Carrie?

[Carrie]

This is she.

[Jeff]

Hey, Carrie. This is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Hey, Carrie. Welcome to it. Hey.

[Carrie]

Hi.

[Jeff]

Yeah, sorry.

Sorry. We're talking to you this way because we know the conversation we want to have with you is going to be a little bit awkward, so we're trying to be extra fun.

[Carrie]

Yeah, it's already awkward. What's. There we go.

[Brooke]

Yep.

[Carrie]

It's gonna get more awkward.

[Brooke]

Yep.

[Jeff]

Possibly.

[Brooke]

Or more fun. Could be more fun, depending on how you look at it.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Because this is a segment we do called a Second date Update, and we're trying to help out one of our listeners who you went out with to a bar recently. A guy named Aaron.

[Carrie]

Oh, wow.

[Brooke]

Remember, you guys met when he was celebrating his new job and then.

[Carrie]

Yep. Yeah, I remember Aaron.

[Jeff]

She cut you off. Brooke, that's not a good sign.

[Brooke]

Do you remember him fondly?

[Carrie]

Sure.

[Brooke]

That was convincing.

[Jeff]

Okay, well, you know what? Maybe let's not even talk about Aaron right now. Let's just talk about the date.

[Carrie]

Okay. I mean, I'm not great on dates, so.

[Brooke]

Why do you say that?

[Carrie]

I don't know what to say. Conversations lull and they drag. So I just. I guess I just start going through this mental list of things to potentially talk about and. Top of the Alphabet, bad dates.

[Brooke]

So you chose bad dates as one of the topics. I mean, Aaron. Yeah, I don't think was put off by that.

[Jeff]

We heard about that. We all agreed that was a strong choice.

[Carrie]

Oh, so. So he told you about what I said?

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. Do you have, like, a terrible bad day story that you told him? Now I want to know.

[Carrie]

No, no, no. Well, I didn't think so, but.

[Carrie Brownstein]

Okay.

[Carrie]

Then he. We were joking around and he thought it would be funny to ask Chat GPT the best way to kiss.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah,

[Carrie]

that was pretty funny.

[Brooke]

Did you see what was coming next after he brought that up?

[Jeff]

Spoiler alert.

[Carrie]

It was a little predictable, but it was okay because in a way, it took the pressure off, too.

[Jeff]

Okay, so you sound surprising.

[Brooke]

Like, honestly, when you're discussing this. You sound like you're smiling. You sound like. It is a good memory, this date.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Kaylee Contreras]

You enjoyed it? Yeah.

[Carrie]

Yeah, up until that point, it was. It was fun. It was cool.

[Jeff]

Well, what changed?

[Carrie]

Yeah, he started talking about AI and started admitting that he works with his AI to, like, get better results.

[Jeff]

Did you say flirts or works?

[Carrie]

No, flirts. He flirts.

[Jeff]

Flirts with his AI.

I've never even heard of.

[Brooke]

No, it's got to be A joke. He was telling a joke because he just asked about the kissing.

[Ari Chambers]

How.

[Jeff]

How do you flirt?

[Carrie]

You have to understand first. Ye. His AI is named Punch Muffin.

[Brooke]

What did you say?

[Jacob Goldstein]

Muffin.

[Carrie]

Punch Pudge. Pudge Muffin.

[Brooke]

Dude, I would be so pissed if that was a nickname that a man gave me.

[Kaylee Contreras]

The first thing AI should have taught him. Don't call me that immediately.

[Jeff]

Weird to me.

But.

But to everybody else, this could still

[Brooke]

be just funny humor, right? Like, sure, because that is a funny name.

[Jeff]

That's a good point.

[Carrie]

It could have been, but he seemed really into it.

[Brooke]

What did he say to Pud?

[Carrie]

He says, hey, Pudge Muffin, I would love you so hard if you could. What do you say? Tell me the last four teams that won the World Series and that took a turn. What the.

[Brooke]

Wait. That's flirting with it.

[Aaron]

Hey, we don't need to go down this road, okay? He's getting out of hand.

[Jeff]

That means he's gonna get better.

He was just getting hot.

[Brooke]

Yeah, he liked that.

[Jeff]

It was just starting to.

[Brooke]

What was hot about the four World Series?

[Jeff]

Don't list them or Jeff is gonna explode.

[Kaylee Contreras]

That was more innocent than what I was.

[Carrie]

So.

[Jeff]

Yeah, Carrie, I don't know if you heard that, but that's Aaron. He's been on this call the entire time, listening, waiting to talk to you.

[Carrie]

Wow.

[Aaron]

I need to clear this up, though. I did this for a reason.

[Jeff]

You do what for a reason? Flirt with your AI?

[Aaron]

Yeah, if I don't flirt, she'll tell me the wrong information. Sometimes she doesn't give me exactly what I need. And for a while, I was just being cold and just asking for the information, and she wouldn't even answer me sometimes.

[Brooke]

And I wouldn't answer you.

[Jeff]

You're calling her she for clarification. Let's go, Pudge Muffin.

[Brooke]

Okay, yeah, I doesn't have a gender.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I'm not gender. That's Pudge muffin. That's genderless.

[Carrie]

Are you saying that your AI gave you the silent treatment?

[Aaron]

Yeah, I have to put things in a certain way. I don't want to say wine and diner, but I have to kind of.

[Brooke]

Aaron, you're making it sound worse. You don't think you're, like, in a relationship with your AI Chat bot? You're just using words to try to get the best search results.

[Aaron]

Exactly. I'm just. Yeah, I'm result maxing result.

[Brooke]

Max, that made it better.

[Carrie]

It didn't. Look, I don't care what you call it exactly or why. It's just weird. That you were talking dirty to your AI.

[Brooke]

Wait, was there other things that we didn't hear? Because that wasn't a dirty talk situation. He just said love. Right.

[Carrie]

He says sometimes on really difficult projects for work, he could get racy with it.

[Jeff]

Racy?

You saw him get racy?

[Aaron]

I'm not dirty talking anybody. It may be flirty and getting into romantic areas. I mean, suggestive maybe. Okay, never get 30.

[Carrie]

Okay, well, he did say. He did say that if it didn't give him an answer to some math problem that he tied up.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeff]

Tie it up

[Brooke]

again?

[Aaron]

You guys are making it sound so weird. I got the info.

[Carrie]

Okay, Aaron, now you know why I'm not calling you back. And it just weirded me.

[Brooke]

Oh, it weirded you out? Or were you jealous?

[Aaron]

Carrie, you don't have to be jealous of pudge muffin. Okay?

[Carrie]

Did he tell you the one that

[Aaron]

said your first kiss was with a Magic 8 ball? So I don't know why you're pointing

[Brooke]

finger to me, which is really like the 1990s version of Chat GPT.

[Carrie]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeff]

You are kind of asking it questions and hoping to get good answers from it.

[Carrie]

First of all, I can't even believe that you would, like, go there and say out loud. And second of all, I was 12.

[Brooke]

We weren't actually hating on that at all.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Yeah, I think I was pretty normal.

Listen, I. I don't know who to exactly ask for a second date here. Whether it's Aaron and Carrie or Aaron and his pudge muffin, you know who to ask.

[Brooke]

AI, you're making things worse. He's not dating his AI.

[Carrie]

I think he is.

[Jeff]

Let me just start with you.

[Troy Millings]

And.

[Jeff]

And I'm just being serious and honest. It sounds like you might have a little bit of jealousy. Like Brooke was saying about his chat bot.

[Brooke]

That was also a joke, Jeff.

[Jeff]

I'm sensitive.

[Brooke]

What is wrong with you today?

[Carrie]

You know, you're right. I am insecure to the point that I don't want competition from a bucket of bolts.

[Brooke]

I see.

[Jeff]

So you wouldn't consider seeing him another time? And if we paid for it.

[Brooke]

I think she's also being sarcastic.

[Jeff]

I cannot read literally anyone. Yeah, I'm kind of lost. I don't know where the feelings are.

[Carrie]

Yeah, I think. I think I'm good. I think I'm good. I appreciate it, though. Mostly.

[Brooke]

Okay, again, that was not sincere.

[Aaron]

You guys are all invited to the wedding.

[Jeff]

She's funny.

Yours in pudge muffins.

[Aaron]

Come on.

[Jeff]

I'm literally not getting anything. Who's reading who here?

[Kaylee Contreras]

Now I get why you said the bar was awkward.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jacob Goldstein]

This is Jacob Goldstein from what's yous Problem? You probably think of Walmart as the store that carries just about everything under the sun and maybe not as the place to discover small brands. Well, two things can be true at the same time. Because Walmart is home to thousands of small brands founded by people who had an idea, took a chance, and built something of their own. Behind everyone is a real story and a lot of hard work work. So why not take a little time to recognize all the people building small brands across the country and support everything they're creating? Walmart is proud to give those brands a place on its shelves and online. It's never been easier to find and support small brands. So take a look at Walmart. You might come across something new, something unexpected, or a brand whose story speaks to you. You never know what you're missing until you look. Discover thousands of small [e-mail] the public

[Jeff]

I don't want to brag, but Jose, you're gonna thank me because I just went into the break room and renamed our coffee maker Pudge Muffin and I whispered, it's a naughty little espresso.

[Brooke]

Oh. Oh, wow.

[Jeff]

So yeah, look out for much stronger cups of java in the future. You are welcome.

You don't want to rename it something more original?

Well, it worked for Hit this guy, so I don't want to stray too far.

It's tried.

[Brooke]

And again, let's not use that as a pet name. I don't care if that didn't have feelings.

[Jeff]

Well, you know what? I know we were all kind of laughing at this whole situation about flirting with your AI to get better results, but I do wonder if it's actually going to be that way someday.

I mean, you can literally reword your stuff and you can get a different answer, so it kind of makes sense.

[Brooke]

I don't know. I'll stop using it. That sounds like a good idea. Brooke.

[Carrie]

What?

[Ari Chambers]

No.

[Jeff]

What are you gonna do with all

the data centers are here?

[Kaylee Contreras]

Pudge muffin would be really sad if he heard that.

[Jeff]

Yeah, exactly. I'm hoping that coffee pot reports me to HR soon.

[Brooke]

You want to be reported?

[Jeff]

Yeah. I hope the technology gets to that level. I'm hoping. I wonder if he's listening.

[Kaylee Contreras]

We can report you.

[Brooke]

This is why I'm living in a tech free world.

[Jeff]

I hope all the nasty little pudge muffins are hearing this right now. And if you are, go check out our podcast and subscribe. Spank that subscribe button till it's red in the button.

[Jacob Goldstein]

[Carrie]

[Jeff]

Pudge muffin nose. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Troy Millings]

This is Troy Millings from Earn your leisure. When you think about discovering small brands, what store pops in your mind? Well, it should be Walmart.
