Alexis
Second date update. We all want to hit redo sometimes in life. Oh, yeah, Like Alexis wants to hit redo on her eyebrows.
Brooke
Oh, sorry, sorry.
Alexis
I want her to redo her eyebrows.
Jeff
Yeah, control Z that. Let me see him.
Alexis
I haven't told you that yet, have I, Alexis?
Jeff
No, Jeff, thanks for doing that.
Alexis
Right now I have a plan. Don't worry. We'll talk about that later, though.
Scott
Great.
Alexis
What about when it comes to an awkward situation that happens during a good date and you don't want to redo the whole night, just redo that awkward moment. Oh, yeah. That's why Scott emailed us for help. And Scott, I know you and I have talked about Alexis eyebrows, but let's not focus on that right now, all right? We're just here to talk about your date.
Brooke
So hard not to look over.
Jeff
Okay. No idea, bro. Talk was going like that these days.
Brooke
Yeah, bro, did you see her eyebrows? No way I would date her.
Alexis
Let's talk about your date, Scott, who's the girl that you went out with?
Scott
Okay. Her name's Erica.
Jeff
Okay.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
Normal eyebrows.
Scott
No, not at all.
Jeff
Oh, except.
Scott
No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Jeff
Exceptional eyebrows maybe.
Brooke
I was hoping she had, like, crazy brows.
Alexis
So what did you and Erica do for your date?
Scott
Well, we met online and we went to dinner.
Jeff
Okay.
Scott
Nice place. Everything's going great. I go to wash my hands and I came out and I had like a napkin slash paper towel in between my fly, like it was just hanging.
Jeff
Wait, wait, wait, wait. In your pants?
Scott
Yeah.
Alexis
Cause I. Poking out through the zipper.
Jeff
Wait, do guys wipe that?
Brooke
No, I know he had it on his lap because he's a gentleman at dinner, and then it got caught in the zipper. That's my dad.
Scott
No, it was a nice restaurant. So they don't have, like, paper towels. They have a nice linen type. So after I wash My hands. I have it in my hand. And I noticed my fly was still down, so I zipped it up and I just walked out.
Alexis
And it was ducked in there.
Scott
Okay, it was. And I just walked out. Didn't even know it. And I'm about halfway, and I see her face look at me and then look down and then look back at me.
Brooke
He's about to show me the most inappropriate magic trick.
Jeff
Either that or you're feeling real confident at that point. Like, oh, oh, you can see it. Wow.
Scott
I did that thing where you turn around because obviously she's looking at something else.
Brooke
Yeah.
Scott
And I was like, what? And then I look down.
Brooke
Oh, so embarrassed.
Scott
And I see it and what do you do? I should have turned around. Just pulled it out.
Brooke
No, don't pull it. Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Alexis
Just dealt with it.
Jeff
Pull it out of the zipper. Like, it can't be that hard.
Erica
What did you do?
Scott
Here's what popped into my stupid brain.
Brooke
Oh, no.
Scott
I thought, why don't we pull it out like a magician? Just keep bing, bing, bing. And pulled it out.
Alexis
Went like one of those never ending scarves up your sleeve.
Brooke
I love it.
Scott
Exactly.
Brooke
The handkerchief trick.
Jeff
Huh? That's an interesting choice.
Alexis
Was she impressed?
Scott
She started laughing then.
Jeff
Maybe you knew your audience.
Scott
You know, I think she thinks that I did the napkin thing on purpose to be funny, but, yeah, I did not.
Jeff
Okay.
Scott
But I totally went with it. I'm like, all right, let's go with that. Yes, yes.
Alexis
I'm hilarious. When it comes to napkins, I'm brilliant.
Jeff
Yeah. You painted this like, it was this horrible moment, but actually, it looked like it worked to your benefit on the date.
Scott
Yeah, I'm not done yet.
Alexis
Oh, oh, is there more embarrassing things?
Scott
So I invite her back to my place.
Jeff
Okay.
Alexis
Okay.
Scott
And she says yes. I'm like, all right, Sweet. I opened the door, and standing there is my dad.
Alexis
Oh, at your place?
Jeff
What?
Scott
At my place?
Brooke
Do you live with your dad or your parents?
Scott
No.
Jeff
What the heck? Why is your dad inside your apartment?
Scott
He just came over. He didn't tell me.
Brooke
Surprise me.
Scott
He just wanted to come over.
Brooke
That's why you don't give your parents the spare key.
Jeff
No. Obviously she's not gonna believe that it's your house. She's gonna think, unless it's like a one bedroom apartment.
Scott
No, I've got a two bedroom. So I was like, dad, what are you doing here? He goes, oh, I just wanted to come visit. Ooh, she's pretty. Who's this?
Brooke
I hope I'm not ruining your game, son.
Alexis
What was Erica's reaction? Could you read that?
Scott
She was a little uncomfortable, like, hi.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jeff
Yeah, she'd be shocked. I mean, she could obviously sense how shocked you were though, too, right?
Scott
Yeah, I hope so. And there was one point I decided, all right, let me get some drinks. Maybe I can ease the pain. And he's gonna leave soon. So I left them alone for, I don't know, five minutes. They were talking.
Alexis
Okay.
Scott
And I came back, and her vibe was completely different.
Jeff
Oh, my dad.
Brooke
She's already meeting the parents like that so much.
Jeff
Is your dad one of those dads that is, like, super embarrassing, likes to tell horrible stories about you?
Brooke
You mean like every dad?
Scott
Yes. Yeah, he's the quintessential dad joke dad.
Alexis
Oh, boy, you're gonna love this one. Now we know where you got the napkin trick idea.
Jeff
Apple and tree there.
Alexis
How did. How did you and Erica and your d. Dad leave things?
Scott
So I'm trying to give hints. All right, dad, Good to see you. Good to see you. He just plops down on the couch. It's like, all right, let's watch a movie.
Jeff
You are walking. Do you see? I made two drinks? Dad, not so Erica.
Scott
Just like, you know what? I've got an early morning. I'm going to take off.
Jeff
I mean, you can't blame her.
Brooke
I'm sure you wanted to leave, too.
Scott
Oh, I did. And so I start walking her out, and he goes, no, we're about to watch Harry Potter come back.
Brooke
Okay, that would have worked on me. All right, I'll be right there.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jeff
Did you get a chance to apologize?
Scott
Profusely, but I have not heard from her since.
Jeff
Okay, that's a hard dad hill to climb up.
Alexis
Now I see why you would want to redo a few of those moments from the night. And we can't really redo them, but we can at least try and get you a redo on a second date. So we're going to play a song, we'll come back.
Jeff
Do you want to call his dad, too? Three way him in.
Alexis
I think we've dealt with enough embarrassing moments. All right, let's just try and focus on some positives. We'll call Erica and try and get your second date update right after this.
Scott
Second date update.
Alexis
The surprise. Dad, that's not just the name of my go to move for my bingo dates. It's what actually happened to one of our listeners, Scott, recently during his first date with Erica. Yeah, because they went back to his place at the end of the night and who was waiting there inside the door, but his old pop, ready to crack a brewski and watch some Harry Potter with his boy. So obviously that situation put a damper on the romance. And ever since, Erica is not responding when Scott reaches out, hoping to get another date. So we're gonna step in, kind of like his dad did, and try and get that second date for him. Scott, feeling ready for this?
Scott
Oh, yeah.
Jeff
That was a painful recap. Scott, how are you feeling?
Scott
I'm. I'm hopeful.
Jeff
Okay, that's good.
Scott
But a little nervous.
Jeff
Yeah. You know, all of this was out of your control. I think anyone would be empathetic of that. You know, we all have cringe worthy parents. Oh, yeah.
Alexis
And before we call her Scott, you said that you noticed Erica was talking to your dad for a few minutes while you were in the other room. Did you ever ask your dad what he said to her?
Scott
I did. I was like, hey, what. What happened to you? Oh, no, we just made some small talk.
Alexis
Oh. Nothing important.
Jeff
And you just took that at face value?
Alexis
Oh, God.
Jeff
Interesting.
Alexis
I mean, there's no way that your dad would ever swoop in on your dates.
Jeff
Oh, you're thinking that it's not?
Alexis
No, no, not at all.
Jeff
I thought he was just going to tell like a terrible story about like how he got stood up on prom or something like that.
Alexis
Or maybe he asked her, like if she was in Gryffindor, Slytherin or something.
Brooke
They got into a heated debate.
Alexis
I mean, let's just call Eric and find out what happened. We're going to dial the number right now and see what she has to say. Let's do this. You ready, Scott?
Scott
All right, let's do this. For better or for worse.
Alexis
All right, here we go.
Erica
Hello?
Alexis
Hey, is this Erica?
Erica
Yeah, who's this?
Alexis
This is Jeff from the radio show. Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. We're looking for the biggest Harry Potter fans in the area. You a Potterhead?
Erica
Oh, God, I like it, but I'm not like a crazy. Wait, what is this about?
Jeff
Yeah, exactly. It's not about that.
Alexis
That's just a side question, though. The real question that we want to ask about is your date the other night with a guy named Scott.
Erica
Oh, yeah.
Jeff
I mean, that's okay. It's probably a hard date to forget for sure.
Alexis
We're doing something called a second date update. We're trying to help Scott figure out what went wrong when you two hung out together.
Jeff
And to be fair, Scott definitely has some ideas of what went wrong already.
Alexis
Or maybe nothing went wrong. And it's something totally unrelated to that night.
Brooke
We can focus on what went right. I heard he made you laugh. That's a good thing.
Erica
I'm not understanding the second date thing. Like, you're just wanting to know my story.
Alexis
Yeah, because Scott told us his version of the story, and he knows that afterwards you haven't been responding to him, and he's just trying to figure out the reason why.
Erica
Yeah, I don't know how much he told you.
Alexis
He told us about a little napkin trick that he showed you and that.
Jeff
You thought was funny.
Erica
Yeah, it was pretty risky. Like, I don't know how if he knew that, I would laugh. Like, you know, he came out of the bathroom with, like, a tissue and a zipper.
Jeff
But the risk paid off, right? Great risk, great reward.
Erica
I thought it was hilarious. And, like, I really, really like funny guys.
Jeff
Cool.
Alexis
Yeah. So I'm going to fast forward from dinner to Scott's house. What was your reaction when you saw his dad was waiting?
Erica
Yeah, this is what I want to.
Alexis
Hear, because we heard that.
Jeff
Yeah, you can be honest.
Erica
Well, so originally when I said I go back to his place, like, I actually was totally open to hook up with him, but that's going to hurt.
Jeff
Even more when he hears that.
Alexis
Oh, my God.
Erica
But when he opened the door and his dad was there.
Jeff
Yeah.
Erica
Oh, my God. I can't tell you how awkward that was.
Brooke
I bet.
Alexis
Yeah. I can't remember.
Brooke
Like, the parents are there.
Erica
The worst part is I knew his dad.
Jeff
Wait, what?
Brooke
No. His dad.
Alexis
No way. You're his daughter from another secret family.
Jeff
No.
Alexis
Oh, my God.
Brooke
That's. No way.
Alexis
When we tell Scott that his dad has another family, he's gonna freak out.
Jeff
Let her talk. What do you mean he knows you knew his dad?
Erica
He's my gynecologist.
Alexis
What?
Jeff
No.
Brooke
Wait a minute.
Jeff
He's your ob.
Brooke
He's your, like, special doctor.
Erica
So he clearly recognized me, and, like, I knew him. Like, I had just gone in, like, a couple months ago.
Jeff
Good news. He recognized your face and not bro. I mean, I was blushing.
Brooke
I am blushing.
Jeff
Well, but he's a professional. I mean, like, come on. This guy's a doctor. I know, I know, I know. I'm trying.
Erica
Yeah, so.
Alexis
Oh, my God.
Erica
It's like this super awkward thing.
Brooke
He's, like, all casual. Just, like, good to see you.
Jeff
Gonna be worse if you have to go in for an STD after dating.
Erica
Oh, my God. No, I'm trying my best, and at one point, like, I just asked Scott to get me a drink.
Jeff
Yeah.
Erica
And, like, I talked to the dad, and he's like, don't worry, it's patient confidentiality.
Jeff
Yeah.
Erica
And I. I just ask him, like, if he could help me, like, get out of the situation. If he can just say, like, hey, Scott, let's watch a movie so I can just leave. Oh, you.
Brooke
Wait, you asked the dad to bring that up?
Alexis
That was your idea.
Erica
Wait, too awkward?
Alexis
I guess dad wasn't as clueless as we thought he was. He was actually trying to help her out.
Jeff
Oh, my God, that is so hard.
Alexis
I guess the really clueless person is probably Scott. Who? We should let you know Erica is on the other line listening right now and wants to talk to you.
Erica
Wait, wait, wait. What?
Jeff
It's okay.
Alexis
Yeah, Scott's there, I think.
Scott
Scott, what is going on right now?
Jeff
Oh, my God. Why couldn't your dad have been a dentist?
Scott
Oh, God. Oh, my God. Like, I'm. I'm mortified. But honestly, Erica, I'm kind of. I'm very mortified for you. I'm so sorry.
Brooke
Oh, yeah.
Jeff
I mean, what are the chances?
Erica
It was really, really weird because, like I said, I'd been there a couple months ago, and, like, he's been my gynecologist for a while now, so, like, he knows me.
Scott
Oh, he knows you. Like, I know. I know. He really knows you. I know.
Brooke
Oh, my.
Alexis
Okay, Scott, this is a random question, but I think I might also know your dad. What does he go by Dr. Butterball?
Brooke
Shut.
Jeff
Deborah, get out of here.
Alexis
Is that not him?
Jeff
You are not helping. Different guy.
Alexis
Brooke, if you're looking for somebody new, Butterball's your guy. Okay, he works out of a van.
Jeff
No, honestly, like, I went and saw a gynecologist once who, during the exam, was like, so. I listen to your radio show all the time, and he was trying to, like, you know, make small talk, but it's just. I need sex. Separate lives there. And I would assume you need separate lives when it comes to dating and your gyno.
Erica
Absolutely.
Alexis
Maybe it's only fair, Scott, if you visit her father's proctologist, and then the.
Jeff
Two of you could be even Steven.
Scott
Okay, I know you guys are laughing about this, but I'm in shock at how coincidental this is.
Jeff
Yeah, for sure.
Alexis
I mean, I feel like Erica, maybe you should have at least hinted to Scott, like, something was up, told him something.
Jeff
I wouldn't put this on her.
Erica
I mean, like, what was I gonna say? Like, your dad seen my ankles and stirrups?
Greenlight
Oh, no.
Alexis
Okay, not that graphic.
Jeff
It's what every woman has to do.
Erica
Scott, if it's any consolation, he said he'd give you the green light.
Brooke
Green light? You mean like approval?
Erica
I don't know what that means. Like, you have to ask your dad. Scott.
Jeff
Whoa, that just got creepy. I think you need to switch your gynecologist no matter what. That was weird.
Alexis
I see it as a good thing. Yeah, dad gives the thumbs up approval.
Jeff
Please don't do anything.
Brooke
Whatever.
Alexis
Whatever finger he approves. I'm just saying it sounds like maybe there's a chance here and the only way to know is to ask Erica.
Brooke
Would you like this to happen? I disapprove.
Alexis
Let's see. Erica, would you like to go out one more time with Scott? We'd pay for it.
Brooke
I've never said this. We've never said this.
Erica
I mean, I did really like him, but.
Jeff
Dude, go out with him. Dump the doctor. Get a new doctor.
Erica
No, I could get a new doctor and like the green light thing. Maybe it just means I don't have any STDs or anything.
Jeff
No, girl, no. It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
Brooke
That's a good heads up.
Erica
I just. I really want to, but I don't think it's the best idea.
Alexis
Scott. I mean, how do you feel about that? Hearing that?
Scott
I gotta be honest, this is the one time in my life that I am 100% so happy that she said no.
Jeff
Well, worked out then.
Alexis
Scott, I know you saw Erica and your dad whispering. Were you able to read her lips? Oh my.
Jeff
Nobody laugh at that.
Brooke
Is that not good?
Jeff
No. Yuck.
Erica
Yeah, I'm gonna hang up. Is that okay?
Alexis
Hold on. Before you go.
Jeff
No.
Alexis
Dr. Butterball is on the other line and wants joke.
Brooke
This is not covered by our emotions.
Erica
I don't know what that means, but like, yeah, it was nice talking to you again.
Jeff
It wasn't. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Alexis
I definitely think the most interesting part of that entire call was learning that the dad was actually trying to help her get out of the situation.
Brooke
Yeah, we thought he was just being a dad.
Alexis
Yeah, super clueless. Didn't know what was going on. He knew everything and was just trying to get out of the situation.
Jeff
Please stop saying he knew everything.
Alexis
Yeah, Seen it all.
Jeff
I don't know. For me, it's like if he was a real professional, he would have just been upfront about the situation instead of trying to sneak her out.
Alexis
Yeah, that sounds like that would have been more awkward.
Erica
Really awkward.
Jeff
Yeah, but that's your business, man. Like, I don't think that it's awkward to you if you're a gynecologist.
Alexis
I don't know. I think he's a good guy. I'm curious.
Brooke
Like, I know.
Alexis
Yeah. Good guy.
Jeff
I think she still needs to not go on the date and also switch her doctor. Yeah, I'm gonna go with both on that one.
Alexis
I'm curious, Brooke, if your dad was a gynecologist, is that something that you would be comfortable with?
Jeff
My husband's grandfather was a gynecologist.
Alexis
You would go to your husband's grandfather?
Jeff
Oh, God, no. I wouldn't go to. No, no.
Alexis
I thought that's what you were saying.
Jeff
But if he wanted. You know. It doesn't bother me that that's his profession.
Alexis
Yeah, no.
Jeff
See, my own father. Gross. Joe.
Alexis
I don't know. Whatever. It's fine.
Jeff
Okay.
Alexis
I'm not gonna go into it, but.
Brooke
This is a weird topic, but let's.
Alexis
Talk about dating again. If you have a date that you went on that didn't go the way you planned, you can always email the show. We'll call the person who isn't calling you back.
Jeff
And Jeffrey in the morning, looking for excitement.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update – "Read My Lips"
Introduction
In the November 11, 2024 episode of Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update, hosted by iHeartPodcasts, the hosts delve into the often awkward and humorous aftermath of first dates that don’t lead to a second one. The episode titled "Read My Lips" features listeners Brooke, Jeffrey, Alexis, and a guest named Scott, who shares his unforgettable first date experience in hopes of securing a second chance.
Scott’s Unfortunate First Date
The episode kicks off with Scott recounting his first date with Erica, a story filled with embarrassment and unexpected interruptions. Scott and Erica met online and decided to dine at a nice restaurant. Everything was going smoothly until Scott realized he had a paper towel stuck in his zipper after washing his hands.
Scott [04:05]: "I zipped it up and I just walked out."
As Scott walked back to the table, he noticed Erica's confused and concerned expression. In a bid to salvage the situation, Scott attempted to humorously address his mishap by performing a makeshift "magic trick" with the napkin.
Scott [05:43]: "I thought, why don't we pull it out like a magician?"
Erica found the moment amusing, and Scott believed he had turned an embarrassing situation into a lighthearted one. However, this was just the beginning of his series of unfortunate events.
The Surprise Guest: Scott’s Dad
After dinner, Scott invited Erica back to his place, only to open the door to find his father unexpectedly present. This unforeseen encounter added another layer of awkwardness to the evening.
Erica [13:55]: "He's my gynecologist."
Erica was not only surprised by Scott’s father's sudden appearance but also realized that Scott's father was someone she already knew professionally. This revelation compounded the discomfort of the situation.
Podcast Intervention: Seeking a Second Chance
Realizing the gravity of Scott's predicament, Brooke and Jeffrey decide to intervene to help him secure a second date with Erica. They reach out to Erica directly to gain her perspective and understand why Scott hasn't heard back since the disastrous first date.
Erica’s Perspective
During the podcast call, Erica explains her side of the story, highlighting the awkwardness of meeting Scott's father, who happens to be her gynecologist. She appreciated Scott’s attempt to lighten the mood but ultimately felt uncomfortable with the unexpected familial interruption.
Erica [14:05]: "It was really, really weird because I had just gone in a couple of months ago."
Erica acknowledges that while she enjoyed Scott's humor, the bizarre coincidence of his father being someone she already knew professionally was a significant red flag for her moving forward.
Final Attempts and Conclusion
Despite Scott's efforts to apologize and Brooke and Jeffrey’s encouragement, Erica decides against pursuing a second date, citing the unusual and uncomfortable circumstances as reasons for her decision.
Scott [18:34]: "I'm in shock at how coincidental this is."
The hosts conclude the episode by reflecting on the unpredictability of dating and the importance of timing and context in forming connections. They emphasize that while not all first dates lead to second ones, the stories shared provide valuable lessons and plenty of entertainment for listeners.
Notable Quotes
Conclusion
"Read My Lips" offers a candid and humorous look into the pitfalls of first dates gone wrong, highlighting the unpredictable nature of human interactions. Brooke and Jeffrey successfully navigate Scott’s embarrassing experience, providing both empathy and amusement for listeners who can relate to the trials of dating. The episode underscores that while not every date leads to romance, each encounter contributes to the complex tapestry of personal relationships.
