Episode Title: Second Date Update: Pursue Me Please

---

Episode Overview

In this classic "Second Date Update," the hosts call a man on behalf of their listener, Sheena, who feels she deserves relentless pursuit from suitors—and is frustrated that her top pick, Matt, has suddenly stopped chasing after weeks of one-sided messaging. The episode examines modern dating dynamics, expectations around pursuit, and questions of communication and agency, all laced with the show's signature sarcasm and wit.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Literary Analogy & Introduction of Sheena

• Jeffrey draws a parallel between classic courtship in novels ("The Great Gatsby," "Pride and Prejudice") and Sheena's expectation for a man to win her over through persistence.
  • Jeffrey (03:46): "The entire novel is basically following Gatsby's pursuit of Daisy, while Daisy the entire time plays hard to get… the man must prove himself through persistence."
• Sheena enters: she liked Matt's direct approach but "let him pursue" for weeks without replying, despite being interested.

2. Sheena and Matt’s Messaging Dynamic

• Matt (met Sheena on Bumble) was direct: "Saturday, noon coffee, you and me" – a style Sheena claims she appreciates, though she left him hanging.
  • Sheena (05:01): “One of his very first messages was Saturday, noon coffee, you and me.”
• Sheena admits she ignored his repeated efforts due to a busy schedule, only occasionally replying but never agreeing to meet.
• Matt tried various tactics: suggesting coffee, dinner, visiting her at work (which Sheena shot down with "ew, no"), even sending flowers to her sister’s place, as Sheena wouldn’t share her address.
  • Sheena (06:49): “He asked me if he could stop by my work and I said, ew, no. Like, I barely know you.”
  • Matt (13:41): “I even sent her flowers.”
  • Brooke (14:02): “Wait, just to be safe, I don't want you to find me. But if my sister, that's fine… She was like a sacrificial lamb!”

3. The 'Pursuit' Expectation and Communication Breakdown

• Sheena insists it's Matt's job to keep pursuing her until she's ready, revealing an expectation of traditional, persistent courtship—regardless of repeated rejections or silence.
  • Sheena (08:17): “...I was kind of hoping that he would get the hint and just keep pursuing me, because that's what I feel a woman deserves of my caliber.”
  • Brooke (16:01): “Why wouldn't you take control and just say, oh, that doesn't work for me. How about Wednesday at five?”
  • Sheena (16:02): “Excuse me, I am not the man here. That is the man's respons[e].”
• The hosts and Matt express exhaustion and confusion with this approach.

4. On-Air Call with Matt

• Matt answers, sounding surprised and slightly weary when he learns it's about Sheena.
  • Matt (12:29): “I tried to hang out with that girl for almost a complete month and that's just a month that I will never get back.”
• He explains his (failed) attempts and the prevailing social narrative that encourages men to pursue—despite consistently negative responses.
  • Matt (12:44): “You see on social media… guys need to pursue more. I'm not an emu. My head's not in the sand.”
• Sheena jumps in, admitting she wants Matt to try even harder and keep asking until she finally is free.
  • Sheena (15:04): “With my looks, I match with a lot of idiots… you're the first one in a while who's been able to keep up and to stay with me. Like, you were fighting to see me for, I don't know, like an entire month.”
  • Sheena (16:25): “He needs to keep pursuing me until the time is right and I can find space.”
  • Matt (16:42): “You want me to ask you out eight more times?”
  • Sheena (16:48): “It doesn't matter. There's no number on it. I just want you to pursue me so I know you're serious.”

5. Attempted Date Scheduling—And Continued Frustration

• Matt gamely tries to schedule a date:
  • Matt (17:17): “Are you free on Friday?”
  • Sheena (17:19): “No, I have, like, a work thing.”
  • Matt (17:22): “How about Saturday?”
  • Sheena (17:24): “Actually, the thing Friday… I'm gone the whole weekend…”
• Sheena insists her schedule is too chaotic to plan but urges Matt to “keep pursuing.”
  • Jeffrey (18:12): “…Maybe we can agree to send you on a date at a future time to be determined. And when that time is determined, we would pay for it.”

6. Host Reactions & Takeaways

• Brooke and Jeffrey, joined by an increasingly exasperated panel, reflect on the exhausting and arguably unreasonable nature of Sheena's approach.
  • Brooke (20:38): “Oh, weird. Jeff, did you come to that conclusion all on your own?”
  • Jeffrey (21:11): “…maybe in this case she was a little bit on the cuckoo side. But he said yes. And that was all we needed.”
• The show closes with the tongue-in-cheek declaration that it’s a “victory” and an invitation for listeners to email them if they want a similar second date update.

| Timestamp | Segment | |-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 03:37 | Start of Second Date Update segment | | 04:41 | Sheena describes Matt’s "Full Gatsby" pursuit | | 05:01 | Sheena shares Matt’s first message | | 07:28 | Hosts express exhaustion at Sheena’s lack of engagement | | 12:29 | Matt gives his side, shares feeling “a month wasted” | | 13:41 | Matt sent flowers to Sheena’s sister | | 15:04 | Sheena finally reveals to Matt that he’s the first guy to keep up and she appreciated it | | 16:42 | Matt asks if she really wants to be pursued more, Sheena confirms | | 17:17 | Matt attempts to schedule a date; Sheena continues to be unavailable | | 18:12 | Hosts propose a vague "future date, to be determined" as resolution | | 20:38 | Hosts debrief on Sheena’s expectations |

Episode Tone and Style

• Light, irreverent, with heavy sarcasm and exasperation from the hosts
• Hosts are openly critical but maintain humor about Sheena's rigid, “old-fashioned” expectations
• Listeners are meant to be entertained by the disconnect between Sheena’s self-image and her behavior, as well as Matt’s resigned patience

---

Takeaway

The episode offers an entertaining—and at times head-scratching—look at the pitfalls of modern dating, particularly where traditional gender roles clash with contemporary realities and communication fails. While Sheena's story is unique, the hosts’ skepticism and Matt’s exhaustion are likely relatable to anyone who's been stuck in a non-starter "talking phase." Ultimately, the “second date” never happens, but the laughs and cringes abound.

Because nobody plans anything, bro.

[Brooke]

Just when we're about to start this, our producer calls Jose out of the room. Yeah, Come on, Boyd.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

Come on.

[Sheena]

It's like right when we go to

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

start recording, he's always like, and I'm gon interrupt right now.

[Brooke]

Hey, you know what? We're doing it anyway. It's Brooke and Jeffrey and we've got a brand new episode for you on your second date podcast. Thanks so much for being here. And before we get to it, let's do comments.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

Yeah, Debo77 said I've purposely been slacking on listening, so I have a nice chunk of five to six episodes to listen to all at once.

[Brooke]

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, you're one of those that loves our back to back classics on Saturdays.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

Yeah, you are, Debo, for sure.

[Brooke]

All right, let's get to just your one new episode. It's gonna start right now.

[Sheena]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, second date update.

[Jeffrey]

When was the last time someone in this room picked up the book? The Great Gatsby.

[Brooke]

Yeah, my junior year maybe.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, perfect. Then you obviously remember the entire novel is basically following Gatsby's pursuit of Daisy, while Daisy the entire time plays hard to get, much like Elizabeth Bennett from Pride and prejudice and Mr. Darcy.

[Brooke]

I thought it was more of a societal look on what wealth does to people. I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I mean, it's sort of. I'm more focused on the courtship aspect of it. I hope you don't mind me using early literary references of it where the man must prove himself through persistence in order to gain her affection.

[Brooke]

I'm glad you did, but probably half of our listeners just tuned out. But that's cool.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

Including me. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Perfect. We're right where we normally are. And I only bring it up because our listener, Sheena, says she had a guy like that, someone she really liked, and now he's not calling her back. Okay, the persistence has stopped. Sheena, welcome to the show.

[Sheena]

Thank you for having me.

[Brooke]

Okay, so this guy was going full in.

[Jeffrey]

He was going full Gatsby on full Gatsby?

[Sheena]

Yeah. I mean, he was pursuing me for quite a while, like hard. But I think maybe accidentally I turned him off.

[Brooke]

Okay. What's his name, by the way?

[Sheena]

His name is Matt, we met on Bumble.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Sheena]

And I have to be honest, I really loved his directness. Like, one of his very first messages was Saturday, noon coffee, you and me.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

Oh, okay.

[Unidentified Speaker 3]

Some people don't like that. I could never just be like, hi, stranger, let's link up.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. But some people really appreciate, you know, no nonsense, just like, let's hang out.

[Sheena]

Yeah. I appreciated the way he did it. I mean, I didn't respond. Oh, but I did appreciate it.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, what?

[Brooke]

Why didn't you respond if you appreciated it?

[Sheena]

I don't have a lot of time for dating, but for the right person, I could hopefully squeeze in a little bit of time in my schedule.

[Brooke]

I mean, 20 minutes of coffee was too much. Yeah, okay.

[Sheena]

At that time when he was asking. Yeah, it was okay.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

Okay.

[CarMax Advertiser]

Okay.

[Sheena]

Again, if I felt like he was worth it right at the jump, maybe I would have made the time. I mean, I didn't delete him. I do want you to know, like,

[Unidentified Speaker 3]

so how did you show him? You left him on red.

[Sheena]

I let him pursue me.

[Brooke]

So. So, so there was no response from you, but you didn't delete him. And I assume he messaged again.

[Sheena]

He probably messaged me like, I don't know, six or seven times. Clearly not getting a reply doesn't bother him. Essentially I said no, though eventually I did respond.

[Brooke]

Why did you say no, though? Like, he's pursuing you like you want. Why the no?

[Jeffrey]

What's stopping you?

[Sheena]

My work has been crazy. I had vacation coming up. I was away for a week.

[Unidentified Speaker 3]

Oh, that's bad.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Are you saying that been out on a date with him yet at all?

[Sheena]

No.

[Brooke]

What?

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

What?

[Sheena]

I would like to see him in person when I have some time, but actually he asked me if he could stop by my work and see me and I said, ew, no. Like, I barely know you.

[Jeffrey]

You said ew?

[Matt]

Wow.

[Sheena]

Yes. Because wanting him to come to my work is kind of weird, don't you guys think?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I mean, I can understand. You don't want a strange guy showing up at your work unannounced.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

Yeah, he.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, he's providing a solution to meet your seemingly impossible schedule that you're offering. You have to at least consider that aspect of it.

[Sheena]

I told you guys I made a mistake. I probably should not have responded that way.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, okay.

[Paramount Plus Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So that's self awareness. That's nice. So what happened after the ew. No text?

[Sheena]

He wrote back. Okay. And then I left him on. I left him on Read for like three days.

[Brooke]

Oh, man, this is exhausting.

[Unidentified Speaker 3]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

You guys haven't even seen each other in person, and I'm already tired.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

But he doesn't care. Look at him. He keeps trying.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, she's enjoying the pursuit, clearly.

[Brooke]

But after three days, what do you write?

[Sheena]

Finally, I just uncharacteristically wrote to him and I said, well. And then nothing.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you just said the word well.

[Unidentified Speaker 3]

That is kind of funny that you're just like, hello.

[Brooke]

Why on earth do you think he'd want to go out with someone who can't make any time for him at all?

[Sheena]

It's not that I don't like him. Trust me. I would have never, ever even wrote that. The word wells him. I would have never initiated a text, but I really haven't had the time. And I was kind of hoping that he would get the hint and just keep pursuing me, because that's what I feel a woman deserves of my caliber.

[Brooke]

I just don't feel like there's any hint in any of your messaging.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke. She said, well, oh, probably with some doctors.

[Sheena]

Thank you. That means I wanted him to say something.

[Jeffrey]

She cracked the door open for him. Why isn't he pulling it, like, all the way down?

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

I feel like he got what he wanted. He was just chasing till he got a reply, and now he's like, game over. I got it.

[Jeffrey]

Are you actually wanting us to call him now and ask him to go on a date with you?

[Brooke]

Because we can't ask him why he's not calling you back. It feels just blatantly obvious.

[Sheena]

I would really like you to call him and tell him to start pursuing me again, to not give up on me.

[Brooke]

Is there any sell that we could have of why he should do that?

[Jeffrey]

What does he have to look forward to?

[Sheena]

Yeah, that I'm interested. That's what he has to look forward to, which is I have to find a place to fit him in my schedule.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, it doesn't get any easier than that. What guy's going to say no to that sort of opportunity?

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

I like how all the time she spent on the phone with us, she could have got coffee with him.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I'm sorry that you're going through this right now. First of all, Sheena, this must be

[Brooke]

very tough on you, but it is.

[Jeffrey]

Well, we understand. That's why we're going to come back. We're going to call this quitter of a man and tell him to pull his head out of his butt and get back to pursuing you like real men.

[Sheena]

I knew I loved you guys. So you understand me?

[Jeffrey]

We Do.

[Brooke]

She does show affection eventually.

[Jeffrey]

We're doing it with your second date update right after this. Hold on.

[Sheena]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update?

[Jeffrey]

What happened to men? I don't get it. I mean, one day you're telling them, no, don't show up at my place of business, and then the next thing, they're not doing that.

[Matt]

Wow.

[Unidentified Speaker 1]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Talk about being clear and respecting boundaries.

[Nissan Rogue Advertiser]

Yuck.

[Jeffrey]

Am I right, Sheena?

[Sheena]

Yes, that's right.

[Brooke]

No, I don't want to reverse of that.

[Jeffrey]

No, he's. He's given up. Matt asked her out multiple times. Sheena has reluctantly been forced to turn him down over and over again because her schedule is just too busy and

[Brooke]

too crazy that the text well meant.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, keep going. Yeah, don't give up. But for some reason, Matt's thrown in the towel. He's waving the white flag. And Sheena does not appreciate that. Yeah, that's why she's come to us for help today. And just to clarify, Sheena, at the end of this, are you saying that you want us to ask to send Matt on a date with you?

[Sheena]

I mean, I do want to go out with him. It just has to be under my terms and fit my schedule.

[Brooke]

Oh, God, please, let's not do the back and forth of what day works for you because that sounds exhausting. You can do that separately if this works out fair. Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

I like your energy, Sheena. Don't lose your spark, because I won't.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

Good.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. You deserve all the things that are coming to you. So let's just dial Matt's number and we'll see what happens. Here we go.

[Matt]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Matt?

[Matt]

Yeah, this is Matt. Who's this?

[Unidentified Speaker 3]

Hey, man.

[Jeffrey]

This is a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

It's probably going to be a very surprising call to you.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

True.

[Matt]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

I think she meant very exciting call for you both, I'm sure, because we're doing this segment. It's called a second date update. Super exciting.

[Matt]

Okay, okay.

[Jeffrey]

So what that is is if we have a listener who's gone out on a date with somebody, or in your case, has just been talking to someone for a really long time and they've never met up in person, we can reach out on their behalf to figure out if there is a reason why.

[Brooke]

Why the date hasn't happened, materialized.

[Matt]

I feel like I know where you guys are going with this, but maybe

[Brooke]

that would be shocking to me if you knew what we were talking about.

[Unidentified Speaker 3]

Let's give him a hint. Well, yeah, you got it now, right, bro?

[Jeffrey]

That's pretty good. Because we're talking about a girl you've been talking to named Sheena.

[Matt]

What?

[Brooke]

Okay, he did not expect Sheena.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, we've heard that there's been developments in this relationship. We're trying to figure out where your head's at.

[Matt]

I tried to hang out with that girl for almost a complete month and that's just a month that I will never get back.

[Brooke]

Can I just ask, after she first said no to the coffee date, why did you keep pursuing her?

[Matt]

Well, listen, you see on social media that there's this push where it's like, well, guys need to pursue more. Like you hear it be said, I'm not an emu. My head's not in the sand.

[Brooke]

I thought that was like emo.

[Matt]

All right, but she's pretty and like, gotta give it a chance when you actually get a response on there because it's desert, so it's, you know, it's rough.

[Brooke]

Emujin. Desert is the dating landscape right now.

[Jeffrey]

Beautiful metaphor. So we heard you two met on Bumble. You chatted for a long time. You said a whole month.

[Brooke]

It was mostly one sided. It was sending her messages and her every once in a while saying, no,

[Jeffrey]

that won't work in different ways because it doesn't fit her schedule. And then you suggested visiting her at work because she was so busy and she responded with ew. And that was kind of how it dissolved.

[Matt]

I mean, I really tried with her. I even sent her flowers.

[Brooke]

You did? Oh, wait, she didn't say that she

[Jeffrey]

gave you her address?

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

What?

[Matt]

No, I mean, I. I had to send them to her sister's place.

[Brooke]

How do you know her sister?

[Jeffrey]

She gave you her sister's address?

[Matt]

She said just to be safe. So I did. And you know, I still got like heard nothing back.

[Brooke]

Wait, just. Just to be safe, I don't want you to find me. But if my sister. That's fine.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

She.

[Brooke]

She was like a sacrificial lamb.

[Jeffrey]

She's got a machete by the door. She'll be fine.

[Matt]

Yeah, and I mean like I just asked to a casual coffee date and then tried dinner. I tried an activity and she. So I couldn't make any of it.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Sounds like the sister.

[Matt]

Probably.

[Sheena]

Matthew, that doesn't mean I want you to stop pursuing me.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

I heard it too.

[Brooke]

Good one.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God.

[Matt]

Okay, what's going on?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, man. So that's Sheena, who has been waiting quietly on the other line until she wasn't.

[Brooke]

I mean, it makes Sense you'd never heard her voice before, so that's fair. This is what she sounds like.

[CarMax Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

She's been waiting to talk to you.

[Matt]

Oh my God.

[Sheena]

Seriously, I can't believe you right now.

[Brooke]

What? You're mad?

[Matt]

What do you want from me?

[Sheena]

I'll be honest. With my looks, I match with a lot of idiots on dating sites.

[Matt]

I believe a lot of people idiots insult them.

[Jeffrey]

Hold on. Let her cook.

[Sheena]

And you're the first one in a while who's been able to keep up and to stay with me. Like you were fighting to see me for, I don't know, like an entire month. And I really appreciated that. It meant a lot to me.

[Jeffrey]

Aw, come on, Ruma.

[Brooke]

How would he.

[Jeffrey]

That was the first nice thing she said.

[Brooke]

Is that.

[Sheena]

Yeah, but like eight times.

[Matt]

And you could never, never do it.

[Sheena]

And you know what? If you really like me, you don't quit. You ask me out eight more times. It doesn't matter.

[Brooke]

You sound like a woman who's got a great career. You got a lot of things going for you. Why wouldn't you take control and just say, oh, that doesn't work for me. How about Wednesday at 5 or whatever works in your schedule?

[Unidentified Speaker 3]

Yes.

[Sheena]

Excuse me, I am not the man here. That is the man's respons.

[Brooke]

Okay, yeah, to know your schedule, find the date that works.

[Jeffrey]

Why are you telling women to do everything and men can sit back and do nothing?

[Brooke]

Sounds like an incredibly independent woman who's got her stuff together. I don't understand.

[Jeffrey]

Not enough, apparently. Now she needs to be scheduling all the dates for the man.

[Sheena]

I'm really busy and I want to fit him into my schedule, but he needs to keep pursuing me until the time is right and I can find space. And then when I do, Matt, the guy that I want to go out

[Brooke]

with, I mean, that's the first time Matt's probably heard that he's wanted, which is, I assume, nice feeling. No.

[Matt]

Matt, I'm mind blown and you want me to ask you out eight more times? Yes.

[Sheena]

Well, it doesn't matter. There's no number on it. I just want you to pursue me so I know you're serious.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's like a baseball player, Matt. You've swung at eight pitches, you've striked on all eight. But that doesn't mean you don't go back to the plate and keep swinging.

[Unidentified Speaker 3]

Coaches, I'm going to pull you from the usually.

[Brooke]

Usually means you get sent down to a lower team.

[Jeffrey]

Well, she's not ready to send them down. She Wants you to strike out more.

[Sheena]

It's not.

[Matt]

How about strikeout again?

[Sheena]

You don't know. I'm gonna say no.

[Jeffrey]

That's a good point.

[Matt]

Are you free on Friday?

[Sheena]

No, I have, like, a work thing.

[Matt]

Okay. How about Saturday?

[Sheena]

Actually, the thing Friday. I have to go away for a few days. I'm like, kind of gone the whole weekend. For the work thing.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

Don't choose weekend.

[Matt]

Weekends. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Is that it, Matt? You don't want to try another day? We don't want to go through all seven days of the week.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

Monday could be good.

[Jeffrey]

Or future months.

[Sheena]

Monday might be possible. Who knows?

[Jeffrey]

I feel like the person that would know would be you, Sheena.

[Sheena]

I know, but my schedule just changes so rapidly and there's so much going on.

[Unidentified Speaker 3]

Darn.

[Sheena]

But don't give up, Matt.

[Brooke]

Don't give up.

[Pets Best Advertiser]

I want you to keep asking.

[Jeffrey]

You know what? I think maybe I'll just take it from here. So. So we would love to have you guys go out on a date.

[Unidentified Speaker 3]

Oh, how do we coordinate it?

[Jeffrey]

I don't know how to do that, but maybe we can agree to send you on a date at a future time to be determined. And when that time is determined, we would pay for it.

[Brooke]

I mean, you're talking to the most important woman in the world right now who has the busiest schedule that's ever been.

[CarMax Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Sheena]

So understand me. I love you guys. I'm calling you with the right thing because you get me.

[Jeffrey]

We do. The question is, is Matt got up for it?

[Matt]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes.

[CarMax Advertiser]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Beautiful. Way to go, Max.

[Brooke]

I don't think that was the response, but I like that you took it.

[Unidentified Speaker 3]

We gotta end it here.

[Jeffrey]

We gotta. Yes. Whatever it was.

[Sheena]

Thank you, guys.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay. I can't wait to get an update in two years of how your date went.

[Jeffrey]

If it's happened yet, I. I don't

[Matt]

even know what happened just now.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Matt, you're in love. Just send more flowers to her sister. You're gonna love it.

[Sheena]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

But did it seem like maybe she was being a little unreasonable?

[Brooke]

Oh, weird. Jeff, did you come to that conclusion all on your own?

[Kalpen (Hearsay Podcast Advertiser)]

I don't.

[Jeffrey]

I don't want to like go too crazy with it. Alexis, what's your take on if a woman won't wants to be pursued and in her mind a guy needs to ask her out multiple times to show his interest? Obviously that's not you, but how do you feel about that situation?

[Brooke]

Well, you can be honest. Yeah.

[Unidentified Speaker 2]

I don't know.

[Brooke]

She's crazy. Okay, there it is.

[Jeffrey]

All right, maybe in this case she was a little bit on the cuckoo side. But he. He said yes.

[Brooke]

Did he though?

He said.
