[Brooke]

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning on our second date podcast. Not like is that hard to find these days since we're charting on the top comedy charts every week on Spotify.

[Jeffrey]

You're welcome. Yeah, I go to bed every night and I just stream it on 5,000 different laptops.

[Brooke]

Oh, you're the one that's doing it. That's how we're getting there.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I'm sorry, guys, but I'm tired of those ratings.

[Brooke]

No. All right, hey, thanks for being here. And don't forget, we do have 45 more minutes of this painful show if you can endure it over on our main feed. Just go to Brooke and Jeffrey for that one. But right now, let's get to what you came for. That's the second date.

[Jose]

Yes, Second date update. Occasionally we have return listeners, friends of the show who come back multiple times to this segment. For whatever reason.

[Brooke]

I call them people that like punishment.

[Jose]

Yeah, and they'll sometimes get nicknames like Mat man or Roofer. Haven't heard from either of those guys in a while, though, so hopefully they both found love. And roofer isn't like living in a religious compound in the woods or something.

[Brooke]

Why can't both be true, Jeff?

[Jose]

Maybe that's what he wants. That's fair.

[Jeffrey]

Some people like religious compounds.

[Jose]

That's true. A lot of romance there.

[Jeffrey]

The thing is, they can't leave.

[Jose]

But it's rare for us to have a woman come back to the show after we failed to get her a date.

[Brooke]

Yeah, because usually the smarter ones, women.

[Jose]

Learn their lessons much, much quicker than we do. But today is different because we have the return of someone. I'm nicknaming Ms. Crustworthy Julia the Piley.

[Brooke]

Oh. Oh, my God. You're the pie woman.

[Jose]

Who?

[Brooke]

Remember? Then she did the cakes on the date. First she tried all the pies, and then she was doing the cakes, and it was all about pastries.

[Jose]

Okay, I'll try and explain it less frantically than Brooke did last time. She took a dude to some random house to eat homemade pies there.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's right. And it was just a house with pie in it and trust system.

[Brooke]

And they sat in the car and they ate the whole pie. And then he was upset because he realized that she had Taken somebody on a cake date and done the same.

[Jose]

Thing with the cake. We don't have to recap the whole thing. We get, she's the pie lady.

[Brooke]

I'm upset for her.

[Jose]

AKA Ms. Crust Worthy.

[Brooke]

When it comes to pastries, this woman really sticks.

[Jose]

So that ended up not working out, but now she's back on the line again with a new guy who is guest ghosting her.

[Jeffrey]

Welcome.

[Jose]

Welcome back, Ms. Crustworthy.

[Julia]

Hi.

[Jeffrey]

You're like Mrs. Butterworth.

[Brooke]

I have to know before anything. Was there a theme to this date?

[Julia]

No. I mean, there was going to be, but no.

[Jose]

So it's been a few months since we last talked to you. What's happened in that time?

[Julia]

I've been dating around. I found this wonderful guy. His name's Ben.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Julia]

And it's been going so well so.

[Brooke]

Far, and it's been. I got it, too. I got it, too. Yeah.

[Jose]

Really look hard at that sentence to find it, but sure. Okay. So what's Ben like?

[Julia]

He's great. He's really funny. And we went to some happy hours, and it was really fun.

[Brooke]

Oh, you went on multiple dates with Ben?

[Jose]

Does he like pie?

[Julia]

Yeah. And he even invited me out with his friends.

[Brooke]

Oh, too nice.

[Jose]

Well, hold on. We asked a very important question. Is he into pie?

[Brooke]

Jeff, that's the old her.

[Julia]

He is.

[Brooke]

Okay. Okay. It's still her.

[Jeffrey]

You don't grow out of pie, Brook.

[Brooke]

Yeah, but that's crazy. He brought you out to meet all his friends and stuff already. It sounds like things were going, like. How many dates has it been?

[Julia]

It's been two dates. Two happy hours.

[Jose]

Two happy hours.

[Brooke]

He looks quicks to bring the friends in, but I guess it's happy hours, so maybe everybody's there, you know?

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. You don't have to be stuck, like, facing each other.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Julia]

Yeah. And. And he was taking pictures. And, like, I feel like if you're taking pictures, that means it's serious.

[Brooke]

Pictures of what? Yeah.

[Jose]

Like, are we talking clothes on or clothes off?

[Brooke]

I just felt, like, selfies or, like.

[Julia]

No, like, with his friends.

[Brooke]

With his friends. Wait, you with his friends?

[Julia]

Yeah, it was me and a couple of his guy friends.

[Jose]

Oh, that sounds like a big deal.

[Jeffrey]

That actually is. I don't know if I've ever had a girl go, but if you take.

[Brooke]

A group photo, you're gonna not be in it. Like, you're gonna put everybody in the photo.

[Jose]

Absolute 100. Exclude people from those photos.

[Brooke]

I'm with Jeff actually, on that one. I think you could totally say, all right, guys, photo. Can you take this for us, right?

[Jose]

No, we totally are. We're like good friends. Only best friends. Now, number one friend, I think a.

[Brooke]

Guy taking a photo period is. That's a good point. You know, their friends.

[Julia]

Anyways.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Julia]

Yeah. And. And then next morning, he's like snapping me from the airport.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jose]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Did you. Did you know he was flying out?

[Julia]

No.

[Brooke]

Oh, where's he going?

[Jeffrey]

That's.

[Brooke]

But that's a good sign. Like, he's continuing this communication.

[Julia]

I guess so. But, like, why wouldn't you tell me.

[Ben]

You'Re going out of town, you know?

[Brooke]

Well, you only went on two dates. It's not like you're gonna know.

[Jose]

Yeah, happy hours too.

[Jeffrey]

So still mention it. Like, hey, by the way, I'm flying tomorrow maybe.

[Brooke]

He's having so much fun asking her questions, getting to know her.

[Jose]

Did you find out where he was going?

[Julia]

The Caribbean.

[Jose]

And he didn't invite you after two days?

[Julia]

I know. And so he's like snapping me on the beach, and it's beautiful, nice. And then later that day after that, he stops all communication. And now I've been texting him and sending him pictures or whatever, and he's not answering me. It's been two weeks.

[Brooke]

Two weeks. I was gonna say he got busy on his vacation. I was gonna say. Yeah, he was on a beach with a phone. Very dangerous place to be at a beach. A lot of water, sand, who knows?

[Jose]

I'm looking up shark attacks in the Caribbean just to be sure.

[Brooke]

That's kind of weird.

[Julia]

Yeah. I'm thinking. I hate to think this way, but I'm thinking that maybe he met someone on this trip and then he's like, not texting or he. I mean, like you just said, did he get eaten by a shark?

[Brooke]

We actually call him and he's in the shark's belly.

[Julia]

I'm just confused because, like, if it's not that, I'm really confused because I don't normally click with people like that and I feel like he felt the same way.

[Brooke]

Yeah, he was giving you all the right signs. I mean, I think you have every reason to get an explanation from him.

[Jose]

You were returning the equal amount of, like, snaps back to him, Right? It wasn't all one sided.

[Julia]

No, not at all. It was half and half.

[Jose]

Okay, this is odd.

[Brooke]

I trust pie girl, okay?

[Jose]

It's Ms. Crustworthy.

[Brooke]

Brooke.

[Jose]

Let's say the name right? We're gonna. We're gonna do right by Ms. Crustworthy.

[Jeffrey]

When we don't know.

[Brooke]

That name makes her sound so old.

[Julia]

Sound.

[Brooke]

Really?

[Jeffrey]

I told you guys, she's like, hip.

[Jose]

Think old when I hear that Ms. Crust Worthy. Laugh if you like it. Oh, God.

[Brooke]

Thank.

[Jose]

It was a delayed laugh. So I'm taking it. We're going to come back, we're going to call this guy Ben and figure out what's his deal. Why isn't he getting back to you after two whole weeks?

[Julia]

Thank you. Like, help me reach out to him.

[Jose]

All right, we'll see if he picks up when we do your second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update. We have our theories for why Ben isn't calling back our listener, Julia.

[Julia]

That's why you're playing this song.

[Jose]

After he went to the Caribbean two weeks ago. Theory number one, Baby shark and his shark family had a little Ben flavored feast right off the coast.

[Brooke]

So I should not laugh.

[Jeffrey]

We're laughing because we know it's likely not a shark, guys.

[Jose]

Wow. That's my number one theory. Theory number two, Ben dropped his phone in the ocean after too many breakfast margaritas. Or theory number three. The one Julia's most worried about is Ben met another woman while on one of the islands there.

[Jeffrey]

Why wouldn't you just say, like, I'm so sorry. I know we went on a couple dates. I've met someone. It was fun.

[Brooke]

Like, it feels bad for Julie to root for shark in this one.

[Jose]

I think we're all praying for shark because nobody wants number three. Yeah, right, Julia.

[Julia]

I definitely don't want to be rooting for sharks, but I kind of am.

[Jeffrey]

I will say getting eaten by a shark is like the coolest way to be.

[Brooke]

Maybe the shark took his phone and that's it. You know, it just never be all bad. The shark can't text back. Yeah, it's got fins.

[Jose]

It is rude.

[Jeffrey]

He's got sonar built in. He doesn't need that phone.

[Jose]

Let's at least dial Ben's phone and see if somebody, a water creature or Ben himself, picks up. We're gonna get to the bottom.

[Jeffrey]

I think a jellyfish just answered.

[Jose]

Hello? We're gonna find out. Here we go.

[Brooke]

So dumb.

[Jose]

And we just dropped another five. Podcast. Okay, here we go.

[Ben]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Oh, okay. That's a man.

[Jose]

Is this Ben?

[Ben]

Oh, yeah. Who's this?

[Brooke]

Oh, hey, Ben.

[Jeffrey]

What's up?

[Jose]

We are. We're a radio show.

[Jeffrey]

Hi, good morning.

[Jose]

We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Ben]

Huh.

[Brooke]

Looking for recommendations on the Caribbean? No. Anybody? That was smooth.

[Jeffrey]

He's still confused.

[Ben]

What is this? Like, did I win, like a concert or something?

[Brooke]

Oh, that'd be cool.

[Jose]

No, we haven't done something like that in a long time. We're. We're doing a segment here called a second date update where we're trying to help one of our listeners get in touch with you because you two hung out a while ago and apparently had a really good time together. Her name's Julia. Oh, remember you guys went to like.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yes.

[Ben]

No, I know, I know, I know.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jose]

You know.

[Brooke]

Yeah, apparently you guys went to a couple happy Hours and.

[Ben]

Yeah, yeah, no, we had. We had a really good time. I've just been out of town, so.

[Jeffrey]

Caribbean, right?

[Brooke]

Yeah, she said you were snapping her, so.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Ben]

Yes. Yeah, no, I've been in the Caribbean some, but I'm back, so.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I was gonna say hard to leave.

[Julia]

I bet you're not busy traveling.

[Jose]

Yeah, no wonder you don't sound very relaxed right now. So. Okay, makes sense.

[Brooke]

Why are you getting back to her? That's just, you know, it sounds like you kind of dropped off.

[Ben]

No, I'm gonna, I'm gonna reach out to her. I've just, you know, it's just been crazy. Like my life's just been crazy lately.

[Jeffrey]

Like the beaded dreads on the beach and now you're like, kind of like embarrassed that she's gonna see them because you look really cool.

[Ben]

Yeah, that's it.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Ben]

I have cornrows now. No, easy.

[Jeffrey]

I knew it. Easy answer.

[Brooke]

Guys, what's been so crazy?

[Ben]

Well, I. I just, you know, like, I've just been busy traveling to and from and like work's been really busy. I just like. Yeah, everything's just, you know, Julia.

[Jose]

Julia mentioned that you had a lot going on in your life even when you two were hanging out, that you had to like squeeze in happy hour stuff. But it sounds like you're saying you are still interested.

[Ben]

Yeah.

[Jose]

Well, that's good because she, like, when we talked to her, she was worried that it was just like a one or two night thing.

[Brooke]

But you haven't touched. I have a hot tip. If you're interested in a girl, maybe text her. Yeah, within two weeks.

[Julia]

Two weeks?

[Brooke]

It's been two weeks since you've. She's gonna fall off.

[Ben]

Yeah, you know what? You're right. I should have. Please.

[Jose]

You.

[Ben]

You guys have her contact or whatever, right? Or she got in contact with you.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Ben]

You just tell her that I'm sorry.

[Jeffrey]

Why can't you tell her?

[Jose]

Honestly, you can do.

[Julia]

Hey, I thought I did this to you. I thought you met somebody else because like two weeks is a long time.

[Jose]

Hey, Julia. So we didn't tell you that. Julia has been listening to this conversation. So. Yeah, there you go. You can say so yourself directly to her.

[Jeffrey]

Hey.

[Ben]

Oh, hey. Hi.

[Julia]

Hi.

[Ben]

I don't. I'm sorry. I don't really. I don't know what to say this little. I don't know.

[Julia]

Did you meet somebody?

[Brooke]

Whoa, whoa.

[Ben]

No, but I didn't meet anyone new. I'm just. I've just been like, busy, you know.

[Julia]

It's just good to hear you from. I'm just like. It's been way too long I haven't heard from you. And I'm just like so relieved now because like, I felt like this instant chemistry. And I don't normally feel that with everyone.

[Jose]

Oh, that's nice.

[Ben]

Yeah. No, I mean, I genuinely don't either. I've just like. I know everybody always says this, but like, I've just been caught up and I just got so busy and distracted. But like, I absolutely, Like, I do want to hang out.

[Jose]

Okay, well, this is. This is awesome. Like, this is. This is way easier than these normally go. Because we will actually pay for your guys next date if you both officially go. Give us the. Yes. Yes.

[Ben]

Yeah, I'm totally excited.

[Brooke]

Awesome.

[Ben]

But just quick FYI, Julia, like, I am technically married. So I just. I hope that's.

[Brooke]

Married.

[Ben]

The Edwin. Yeah.

[Julia]

What?

[Ben]

I'm technically married.

[Brooke]

Technically. What does technically mean? You're either married or you're not married.

[Julia]

What? I'm so. I'm just a. What?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you got it.

[Jose]

Wait, you got to explain to us.

[Brooke]

Was the Caribbean wedding or the honeymoon?

[Jose]

Did you get married there?

[Ben]

No, no, no. Nothing crazy like that. It was our like five year anniversary.

[Brooke]

Hold up. Are you in like an open relationship? Does your wife know this stuff?

[Ben]

Well, no. I mean, not technically, no. Like, I don't know, everybody's doing this nowadays.

[Brooke]

No, that's cheating. Yeah, they tell you what you're doing is cheating.

[Jose]

Brooke, did you not hear? Everybody is doing this now. He's one of the cool married.

[Brooke]

Why did he take photos of her with his friends?

[Jose]

Yeah, we. We heard that. Ben, you and your friends got together and you were taking pictures with Julia.

[Jeffrey]

You wouldn't do that for a fling.

[Brooke]

Yeah, but then you would just claim that it's your buddy's wife or girlfriend or whatever. Because if he wasn't in the picture with her.

[Ben]

My wife doesn't know.

[Brooke]

Dude, how is no one else, like, totally angry right now?

[Julia]

I mean, Ben, I. I can't believe.

[Ben]

You did this to me.

[Julia]

You should have told me this right away.

[Ben]

Oh, well, I know. It's just like kind of an uncomfortable thing to bring up front.

[Julia]

It's uncomfortable, but you. But you should bring it up right away.

[Jose]

It's a fair point.

[Ben]

Well, it's an uncomfortable thing to bring up front. They can laugh all they want, but it's a weird thing to bring up. And so it's better to do it a little down the road, you know?

[Jose]

Yeah. Like this does soften the blow just a little bit.

[Jeffrey]

What the heck?

[Brooke]

This is terrible.

[Julia]

Ben, this is not gonna work.

[Ben]

Well, hold on, hold on. How about we just go out once and then you decide after?

[Brooke]

No, you have to tell his wife. You have to out. You have to let her know. You got to find her. Maybe she'll listen to this. Yes.

[Julia]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ben]

No, that's already happened. It's fine. Like, it's happened a couple of times where like girls will contact her or whatever. She always believes me, so it's fine.

[Brooke]

Like, that is the grossest response.

[Jose]

Well, that's a woman that's willing to believe whatever her man says. And that's something that's rare in this world for a reason.

[Jeffrey]

For a reason.

[Jose]

J.

[Brooke]

Not rare, unfortunately.

[Jose]

I didn't say it was a good thing. I'm just saying it's rare.

[Jeffrey]

Unfortunately. I have seen things like this where people just don't care and they do it openly.

[Jose]

According to Ben, a lot of married couples are doing this and it's the new norm.

[Jeffrey]

Do we feel bad, Jeff, because, like, we're involved now. Like, I don't want us to solicitate cheating.

[Brooke]

We're not. We're not asking them to go on a date now that we know he's married.

[Jose]

We already asked and they already both said yes. So I don't know where to.

[Brooke]

There's take backs. Jeff. We're not giving you a gift card, Ben. You don't deserve a gift card.

[Jose]

Yeah, we're giving it to your wife.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I actually like that.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we're just gonna take him to dinner, guys.

[Brooke]

What are we doing?

[Julia]

We're rewarding.

[Jose]

He's gonna feel guilty the whole time.

[Brooke]

Poor Julia. That's who I feel, the Julia.

[Jose]

You doing okay?

[Julia]

Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be fine. I just gotta keep dating.

[Jeffrey]

It's just an easy answer, right? Like he's married is a very easy thing to walk away from.

[Brooke]

Can you believe now you have to ask dudes before you go on a date with them if they're married or not? Like, what a ridiculous question you have to ask.

[Jeffrey]

Do you have a girlfriend and Then have a follow up. Do you also have a wife?

[Jose]

Wait, wait, guys.

[Ben]

They're not going to tell you the first time.

[Brooke]

Wait for a couple of minutes. Thanks for that hot tip.

[Jose]

That's good advice, actually.

[Brooke]

Yes, Ben sucks. Hang up on Ben.

[Jose]

Ben, I gotta say, you are the most up, upstanding, sucky person that we've ever had on the show.

[Ben]

Thank you.

[Jose]

He gave some good advice. Don't believe men was his advice.

[Jeffrey]

I hope no one learned anything from that.

[Jose]

Yeah, I certainly didn't. Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Okay. Wow. Big emotional response in the studio from that one for sure.

[Brooke]

How could you not have an emotional response to that?

[Jose]

Well, the guy kept insisting it's more normal now for married people to date outside of their relationships.

[Brooke]

Here's what a cheater says, Jeff. His wife doesn't even know that he's doing it. Yeah, sure. Different if they had an agreement or something.

[Jose]

I had to look it up though, to see if he was right. And According to a 2023 study, marriage infidelity rates are on the rise.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jose]

And the percentage of married people who cheat right now is somewhere between 71% and 11% and 11. So science has to leave a little bit of margin of error there.

[Brooke]

But that is the dumbest study. You found a really good website. And what are you gonna do? Even if the science came back and proved it, that means he was doing the right thing.

[Jose]

Get out of here. Well, that he's just part of the status quo. The thing is, we do know each person who answered yes, they are cheating. Said, it's cool, Everybody's doing it.

[Brooke]

Yeah, so that's 100 true.

[Jose]

It's the new 1980s marijuana. It's cool, man. Everybody's doing it, bro. So at the end, I guess he's still a bad guy.

[Brooke]

But what do you mean you guessed? Why are you so good?

[Jose]

I don't want to offend 71 to 11% of the population, Brooke. I'm not sure where people lie.

[Jeffrey]

Awesome. Cheater just texted in.

[Brooke]

Excuse me. Uh oh.

[Jose]

Oh great. We lost the cheating demo.

[Jeffrey]

Darn it.

[Jose]

Darn it.

[Brooke]

I am an upstanding cheating.

[Jose]

But text in to 78592. Tell us what you thought about the second date update.

[Jeffrey]

[Brooke]

With millions of books on Amazon, there's a reading feeling for everyone.

[Jose]

For example, Raquel's Whoa. When she first entered the kingdom by Dragonback is different to Ari's Whoa when he found out there was more than one crime scene.

[Brooke]

Which is also different to Ava's Whoa. The moment when the stable boy became a stable man. From Whoa. To Amazon Books, that reading feeling awaits.
