Second Date Update: Red Light Green Light

Summary

Podcast Summary: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update – "Red Light Green Light"

Episode Overview In the episode titled "Red Light Green Light," released on July 14, 2025, hosts Brooke and Jeffrey dive into the intricacies of second dates, specifically focusing on the challenges that arise when a first date doesn't go as smoothly as hoped. Through a listener's real-life experience, the hosts explore communication dynamics, feedback reception, and the delicate balance between honesty and sensitivity in dating scenarios.

Introduction to the Second Date Dilemma The episode begins with Brooke introducing the concept of a second date update, setting the stage for an in-depth discussion. Jeffrey poses a controversial relationship rule inspired by a listener, sparking immediate interest.

Listener Story: Tina and Josh Listener Tina shares her date experience with Josh, whom she met on the dating app Hinge. Brooke reads Josh's profile, highlighting his profession as a specialist in education and his interest in skyscrapers and tropical fruits, setting a backdrop for Tina's narrative.

• Date Details: Tina and Josh decide to visit the zoo for their date, enjoying waffle cones, observing animals, and engaging in conversation. However, Tina feels that Josh dominates the conversation, leading her to question the flow of the date.

Breaking the Ice: Constructive Criticism Brooke and Jeffrey discuss the pivotal moment when Josh asks Tina how the date is going. Feeling the conversation was one-sided, Tina chooses honesty over flattery.

• Notable Quote:
  • Tina: "I was like, do you want me to be honest?" ([06:09])

This honesty leads to Josh's realization that he was talking excessively, a fact Tina communicated using the "Stoplight Rule" analogy.

The Stoplight Rule Explained Josh elaborates on the "Stoplight Rule," which Tina introduced to him:

• Green Light: Conversations lasting up to 20 seconds are acceptable.

• Yellow Light: Conversations extending to 40 seconds are becoming too lengthy.

• Red Light: Conversations surpassing 40 seconds are problematic.

• Notable Quote:

  • Josh: "She said that I sped past the red light at least two to three times." ([13:29])

This framework was Tina's attempt to help Josh become more mindful of his conversational pace.

Impact of Feedback on the Relationship Post-feedback, Tina and Josh decide to continue their date by having drinks and working on an antelope puzzle. While the date initially improved, Tina notices a shift in Josh's communication—moving from overly talkative to unusually silent.

• Notable Quote:
  • Tina: "I'm sending him flirty texts and flirty pics, and he's not responding, and that never happens." ([08:55])

Brooke and Jeffrey analyze this change, contemplating whether Josh is overthinking or displaying a shift in interest due to Tina's feedback.

Confronting the Issue: A Call to Josh Determined to provide closure and insights, Brooke and Jeffrey take an unconventional step by calling Josh live on their show.

• Notable Interaction:
  • Brooke: "We're doing a segment called A Second Date Update... That's the case with you and one of our listeners named Tina." ([12:20])
  • Josh: "Yeah, that's true." ([13:03])

Josh's Perspective Josh expresses discomfort with the Stoplight Rule, likening the feedback to a stressful driving test that undermined his confidence during the date.

• Notable Quote:
  • Josh: "I felt like I was on my driving test." ([14:31])

Tina's Clarification and Mutual Understanding Tina clarifies her intentions, emphasizing that her feedback was meant to help Josh improve rather than criticize him harshly.

• Notable Quotes:
  • Tina: "I see the potential in you." ([16:10])
  • Josh: "I'm sorry, but, like, where's the lie?" ([15:35])

Despite Tina's goodwill, Josh decides against pursuing a second date, citing discomfort with the ongoing "traffic court" metaphor.

• Notable Quote:
  • Josh: "I don't want to feel like I'm going to traffic court every day for the rest of my life, so that's a big no for me." ([19:06])

Hosts' Reflections and Conclusion Brooke and Jeffrey reflect on the delicate nature of providing and receiving feedback in early-stage relationships. They underscore the importance of mutual understanding and the potential for growth when communication is handled thoughtfully.

• Notable Advice:
  • Brooke: "Everyone has areas in their speech they could personally improve on." ([17:48])

The episode concludes with Brooke and Jeffrey acknowledging the complexities of dating feedback and encouraging listeners to engage openly yet sensitively in their romantic endeavors.

Key Takeaways

1. Honest Communication: Tina's decision to provide honest feedback to Josh underscores the value of transparency in relationships.
2. Constructive Criticism: Introducing structured feedback, like the Stoplight Rule, can help navigate conversational dynamics but may also introduce unintended stress.
3. Emotional Impact: Both parties experience shifts in communication styles post-feedback, highlighting the emotional ramifications of honesty in dating.
4. Closure and Growth: The live call with Josh offers a unique opportunity for closure and illustrates the challenges of addressing personal growth within romantic contexts.

Conclusion "Red Light Green Light" serves as a thoughtful exploration of the balance between honesty and sensitivity in dating. Through Tina and Josh's experience, Brooke and Jeffrey illuminate the challenges and opportunities that arise when individuals strive to improve their communication for healthier relationships.

[Jeffrey]

We got a brand new second date podcast for you today. Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning and I am so curious what people think of this woman's. We'll call it a life rule. Is. Does that sound a relationship rule that she has? Yeah, sure. It's definitely controversial. I mean, I can see the upside and the downside of it, you know.

[Sarah Spain]

And I think she breaks her own rule, so.

[Jeffrey]

Interesting. That's a really good point. That's a really good point. You're going to understand what we're talking about in just a second here. But we always love to highlight your comments, leave them, let us know what you think of the show. Thank you so much. And Alexis, what do you like today?

[Sarah Spain]

Yeah, Karen Escander said, I used to listen to you guys driving to my college classes every day. And four years later, now I have my four month old baby girl listening with me.

[Brooke]

That's so cute.

[Sarah Spain]

You're probably teaching her all the words.

[Brooke]

Yay.

[Jeffrey]

Her first world is going to be second date update. Second date update.

[Alexis]

Your baby doesn't know a world without us.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I love that. That's right. That's so sweet. Thank you so much for being here. And your brand new second date starts right.

[Brooke]

Second date update. What do you do if you're on a date with someone and in the middle you feel like it's going meh.

[Jeffrey]

Nah.

[Brooke]

Do you a order a round of shots to get the party going?

[Alexis]

Hey, it's a win win, you know.

[Jeffrey]

Really depends on the establishment you're in. Fair.

[Alexis]

Yeah. This Denny's lit option B, fake like.

[Brooke]

You'Re choking so she gives you the Heimlich and at least you get some action out of it.

[Jeffrey]

A couple broken ribs too.

[Brooke]

Ye. You know, in a great story or C, have a very honest one on one breakdown about how this date is actually going so far. I think I take the Heimlich option over that one. And I wonder if our listener Tina wishes she had done the same. So let's talk to her. Tina, welcome to the show.

[Tina]

Hi. Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

Oh my God. That intro makes it sound like you told your date in the middle of it that it was going terribly well.

[Brooke]

You sent us an email about this person's profile that you met on Hinge. And I'm just going to read some of the things that you sent from his bio before. Before we even get to your story.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I'm interested.

[Brooke]

So, according to this, his name is Josh. He's a specialist in education. His profile says he's dating with the intention of marriage.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. Sounds like a stable guy, good career.

[Brooke]

And he's into skyscrapers and tropical fruits. Not sure why we would need to know that information for this, but it's. It's nice to be over informed sometimes.

[Alexis]

If they ever put a big apple on the big Apple, this guy would freak out.

[Jeffrey]

Sounds like if there's a lull in your date, you just bring him to a tall building and he's. He's really excited.

[Alexis]

That's got to be at least 100 stories.

[Brooke]

All right, now we have an idea about who Josh is. Clearly you met him on the app. So what did you two do for your date?

[Tina]

We actually went to the zoo.

[Jeffrey]

The zoo? That's a cute date.

[Tina]

Yeah, we got a couple of waffle cones and we just walked around, looked at animals and just talked a lot.

[Jeffrey]

All right, that sounds good.

[Tina]

I mean, well, he did. He talked a lot.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay. Does that have anything to do with the thing I mentioned earlier about when the date's kind of going meh?

[Tina]

Yes. He's the one who asked me.

[Brooke]

Oh, he asked you how the date was going?

[Tina]

Yes, because I was being kind of quiet, and so maybe he wasn't sure if I was having fun, so he just asked, like, is the date going okay?

[Jeffrey]

Was that the first question he asked you? Because it sounds like he was talking a lot.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Brooke]

What did you say?

[Tina]

I was like, do you want me to be honest?

[Jeffrey]

That's never a good response.

[Alexis]

I would have been like, no, no. And that would have made it fun, right? Like, lie to me.

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Alexis]

Anyways, what happened?

[Jeffrey]

You were honest, I'm guessing.

[Tina]

Yeah, because he said, yes, please. So I told him directly. Well, honestly, you're talking a lot.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Alexis]

Good feedback. Yeah.

[Sarah Spain]

Next date.

[Alexis]

And as a person who talks a lot, it's good to know that.

[Brooke]

Well, maybe, but some people might take that differently. Did Josh seem offended by the critique?

[Tina]

No, he seemed more confused, like, as if he didn't know he was doing it. But he heard me out, and then he tried to take constructive criticism.

[Brooke]

That's good.

[Alexis]

Oh, that's good.

[Tina]

And he did a good job of it.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, he did. Okay, good. All Right. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Tina]

We hung out for another hour, ended up grabbing drinks there, because at the zoo, you can, like, buy beer. Yeah, and I didn't.

[Jeffrey]

I didn't even know that they're offering alcohol at every kid's place these days. Parents are just like, we need it do.

[Alexis]

They can theme them, too, like sloth shots.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I don't think. I think it's just beer and wine, typically. Yeah.

[Alexis]

It's not like banana beer with the monkeys.

[Brooke]

It's just to take the edge off. It's not to turn up doing body.

[Jeffrey]

Shots at the zoo.

[Sarah Spain]

I mean, if you bring your own in.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Alexis has a plan.

[Brooke]

Okay. Maybe a little bit of beer, a little bit of alcohol helped make the conversation go a little bit better.

[Tina]

Yeah, it actually did.

[Alexis]

Good. Okay, here we go.

[Jeffrey]

I think he was just nervous, right?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe you're just a strikingly beautiful woman and he couldn't think straight, and that's why he was talking so much in the beginning.

[Sarah Spain]

Still annoying.

[Tina]

You said it.

[Brooke]

Okay. She's not denying that. How did you two leave things at the very end?

[Tina]

Well, at the very end, we just hugged and said goodbye. But while we were there, we worked on, like, an antelope puzzle, and we did it together, and it was fun, so it was cool.

[Alexis]

So the date actually got better then? After, you told him, like, he was talking too much?

[Tina]

Yeah, it actually did. Like, I mean, he was more mindful. He asked me questions. He allowed me to speak. Yeah.

[Alexis]

That is really good.

[Jeffrey]

You did an antelope puzzle?

[Brooke]

Yeah, I mean, hot foreplay right there.

[Jeffrey]

Highlight of any date, Jeff.

[Brooke]

I mean, sorry, you said it just led to a hug at the very end. There was no kiss?

[Tina]

No. We text since then, but they've all been pretty short, so I feel like now maybe he's overthinking things and he's taking what I said too seriously.

[Alexis]

Yeah, totally.

[Brooke]

Oh, he talked too much before, and now he's not talking enough.

[Tina]

Yeah, right.

[Alexis]

I can see that he's overcompensating.

[Tina]

Or it could be something completely different that I didn't pick up on.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, but you're definitely feeling the vibe. Like, he is not responding enough to ask you out again, obviously.

[Tina]

Yeah, because, like, I'm sending him flirty texts and flirty pics, and he's not responding, and that never happens.

[Brooke]

She's like, antelope, skyscraper, guava fruit. He's saying nothing.

[Alexis]

He's got all he needs. That's the problem.

[Brooke]

What's wrong with this man?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you said it. Jeff.

[Brooke]

Follow me for My Sexy Emoji handbook coming out later on in this winter.

[Alexis]

Papaya next to the Space Needle.

[Jeffrey]

Is it really animal?

[Brooke]

No spoilers.

[Jeffrey]

No spoilers.

[Brooke]

Okay, first, we got to finish this second date update. We'll call Josh, get some answers, and do it right after this. Hold on. Second date update. I've learned two things so far today, okay? One. Shot.

[Tina]

Shot.

[Brooke]

Shot, shot, Shot. Shots, everybody. You can drink at the zoo. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

I can't believe you of all people didn't know that. I mean, I feel like you sniff out a beer wherever it is.

[Brooke]

I'm not a zoo frequenter, but look for Brooke and Jeffrey's listener Zoo crawl coming soon. We'll meet you by the baboons for Jaeger bombs.

[Jeffrey]

I think it's like a reception. Responsible. You have a beer, Jeff?

[Sarah Spain]

No, they do adult only zoo days.

[Brooke]

Yeah, not on Brooke and Jeffrey's listener zoo crawl.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, Alexis passes out in the bear enclosure?

[Brooke]

The second thing I've learned is with enough constructive criticism, you can change a man. Brooke already knew that, bro. She tells me everything.

[Jeffrey]

It is not worth your energy.

[Brooke]

I. I said that because our listener, Tina, was honest on her date when Josh asked, how do you think this is going with us? And she was polite, but said, you'd probably be going better if you talked a little less.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah, but he heard her. You know? Like, that's the amazing thing. He's like, oh, okay.

[Brooke]

Exactly. Their day actually went pretty good after that. He didn't run off and cry near the snake cage like most guys would. He actually stuck around, had fun. They got drinks, did puzzles. So maybe there's another factor playing into all this that we don't know about yet. So, Tina, even though he has all these issues, why is it that you want us to reach out to him today?

[Tina]

I mean, like, we had fun together, and he's like, a great guy.

[Jeffrey]

Totally.

[Alexis]

Well, the fact that he could adjust and take constructive criticism and be mature about it, I think that's a big green flag.

[Jeffrey]

Well, and anybody who's a talker knows that if you get nervous, your mouth just doesn't shut up.

[Brooke]

Okay, maybe let's take some of our own advice there.

[Jeffrey]

I'm just saying. I get it.

[Brooke]

Shut it. And we are going to call Josh. Let's listen to ourselves. I'm dialing Josh's number right now. Hopefully, he picks up. Here we go.

[Tina]

Great. Thank you, guys.

[Brooke]

You're welcome. Now let's do this.

[Josh]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Hey, is this Josh?

[Josh]

Yeah. Who's this?

[Brooke]

Hey, Josh.

[Jeffrey]

Hi, Josh.

[Alexis]

Hey, good morning.

[Josh]

How many Are there? What's going on?

[Brooke]

Yeah, there's. There's a lot of us in here because we're a show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Alexis]

Kind of like a morning zoo, if you will.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

I work on a show called the.

[Alexis]

Morning Z. Oh, God. That was supposed to be a joke.

[Jeffrey]

I know. Isn't that sad?

[Brooke]

Yeah. You're on the radio right now, Josh.

[Josh]

Okay. Why?

[Brooke]

Yeah, why is. Because we're doing a segment called A Second Date Update.

[Jeffrey]

Great.

[Brooke]

Was waiting for response. It's okay.

[Jeffrey]

He doesn't know what it is.

[Brooke]

That's all right. It's a segment. We try to help out listeners who've gone out with someone and they're not getting a call back for a second meetup. So that's the case with you and one of our listeners named Tina.

[Tina]

Hello?

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You're not letting the pause happen.

[Alexis]

Well, you're doing it.

[Jeffrey]

Give him a beat. You know, he's processing a lot right now.

[Brooke]

Gotcha.

[Alexis]

Don't force it.

[Brooke]

I'll try it again. Tina.

[Josh]

Yeah, Tina. I remember Tina.

[Brooke]

Okay, sorry. I know this is probably a lot. I'll just tell you that we spoke to Tina before calling you, and she told us about your hangout. She mentioned the vibe between you may have changed after you asked if everything was going okay in the middle of the date.

[Josh]

Yeah, that's true.

[Jeffrey]

What did you think about her response?

[Brooke]

Yeah, of her feedback.

[Josh]

I mean, she used this analogy. She called it the stoplight rule.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. When she was talking about how you were talking too much.

[Brooke]

Yeah, we're not familiar with that. What is the stoplight rule?

[Josh]

Okay, well, she says that when you've been talking for 20 seconds, it goes from a green light to a yellow light because you started to talk too long.

[Jeffrey]

20 seconds?

[Josh]

Yeah, 20 seconds. And then she said once you hit 40 seconds, it's a red light.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Alexis]

Okay, that's like a general rule, you're saying.

[Josh]

Yeah, she explained the whole thing to me. And she said that I sped past the red light at least two to three times, which. And I'm like, okay, I didn't know that, like, there was a traffic law for speaking.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, I guess to get. To get conversation going back and forth, back and forth. Like that ping pong thing.

[Alexis]

Yeah, I'm trying to count. While you were talking just now, I.

[Jeffrey]

Heard it and I didn't lose it.

[Brooke]

And this is all feedback you're getting on a first date?

[Josh]

Yeah, I mean, we were having drinks and, like, got a little bit of my story. Out. And she was like, you still have the green, but only for another seven or eight seconds.

[Brooke]

She's literally like, you're still allowed to.

[Jeffrey]

I thought it was just one example, and then we moved on from it.

[Alexis]

She's got one of those big speeding guns. She's blocking him. Yeah, I'm counting.

[Brooke]

Keep going. You're not talking enough now.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that would be difficult.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Sarah Spain]

I like the rule, but it's stressful.

[Tina]

Is that how.

[Brooke]

Is that how it felt, Josh?

[Josh]

Yeah. I mean, and I felt like I was, like, on, like, my, like, driving test.

[Jeffrey]

Oh. Yeah.

[Josh]

When I was 16, the instructor was like, speed up now. Slow down. I use your blinker merge. And so I just kind of, like, lost all my confidence.

[Brooke]

She's like, I love the way you.

[Alexis]

Parallel park that paragraph.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that was perfect. It's understandable. And you know what? I'm going to tell you something here, Josh. I don't think Tina meant for it to come across that way. Oh, and I'm going to let her tell that to you herself, because she is on the other line right now waiting for me to hit my red.

[Alexis]

Light so I can stop talking, and.

[Brooke]

I'm gonna give her the green to go. So, Tina, go ahead. The intersection is yours.

[Tina]

Josh. My God, like, you make me sound so horrible.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow.

[Tina]

Wait, wait.

[Josh]

Even listening this whole time?

[Tina]

Yeah. And you're making me look pretty bad here, like.

[Alexis]

Well, explain yourself.

[Jeffrey]

I don't think he was making you look bad. He was just saying it was overwhelming, Tina. It was a lot for him to think about. What?

[Josh]

I'm sorry, but, like, where's the lie? Like, I didn't say anything that was not true.

[Tina]

Okay, well, to be honest, when you were talking to the radio host, I stopped listening after about, like, 20 seconds.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Why are you so offended? You gave him feedback, and now he's.

[Tina]

Giving you feedback because he has a tendency to, like, drone on and on. And he actually thanked me in a moment. And, like, Josh, don't forget that you thank me.

[Josh]

What do you say? Like, what do you say to that?

[Tina]

Did you not ask me to give you honest feedback?

[Josh]

Okay, Like, I. I did, but, like, I wasn't expecting you to give me, like, accept accountability.

[Brooke]

Accept accountability.

[Tina]

Like, it's not your fault. You're a long talker. You just acknowledge it. And the good news is you're trying to get better. And, like, I see the potential in you, and it's so green.

[Alexis]

I don't feel.

[Jeffrey]

Don't think it's a compliment. You think it is to tell people you see potential in them. It's like you, like, the person for how they are.

[Brooke]

Brooke, I see potential in you in the future. One day.

[Alexis]

You're garbage right now, Brooklyn.

[Brooke]

One day soon.

[Tina]

I didn't mean it like that. I meant it like, he's improving every second and he needs me.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Tina]

Because, like, clearly. Because now it's obvious, like, he hasn't learned his lesson because he is still talking. And I also feel like the hosts are not even paying full attention.

[Alexis]

That's true. I really don't pay that much attention.

[Brooke]

That was a lot.

[Josh]

They're not paying attention. I'm sure they are because you're being rude and insensitive, like, so there. Take that advice.

[Tina]

Oh, I'm always open for getting better, Josh, but if it doesn't come with a helpful analogy and a short one, then it's kind of lost on me.

[Brooke]

Like, actually, the stoplight thing has already been taken, so you need to find another sort of, like, commuter. Yeah. Thing. We gotta need another, like, some bicycle lane.

[Alexis]

Like a maritime law kind of thing.

[Jeffrey]

How about compliment speed bumps? That would be helpful in a relationship.

[Josh]

Relationships are not supposed to be this hard.

[Tina]

Especially hard.

[Sarah Spain]

It's a little confusing.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Tina]

I told you what it was. I explained to you how it works, and I'm pointing out when you go too long. So, like, what's so hard about that?

[Jeffrey]

It feels like one of those roundabouts where you don't know what the third X is.

[Brooke]

Yeah. I'm gonna give everybody the red light here, okay. And I'm just gonna tell you a little fun fact about me, is that I am not. I am not the best talker either. But I think something we can all agree on, even bro, Brooke will back me on this. Is everybody, all of us here, and every person on Earth has areas in their speech they could personally improve on? Can we all agree on that?

[Jeffrey]

What does that have to do with him thinking she was rude?

[Brooke]

I'm just saying we all have flaws.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, there's an easier way to say that. But areas in our speech.

[Alexis]

I'm starting to think the 22nd rule is real.

[Sarah Spain]

Because, like, yeah, it gets boring after that.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we all have areas of speech.

[Brooke]

No more advice is needed. And I should just ask, would you care to both improve each other's lives immensely by going out with one another one more time?

[Alexis]

And we'll pay for it.

[Tina]

I mean, I would do it again and do it for charity reasons.

[Jeffrey]

So backhanded we are right back to that.

[Brooke]

So that's a big yes. From Tina, who is looking to work and change you over the next few years. Josh. So what do you say? Will you be her project chick Satan? Under like 20 words. I'm going to give you a yellow light on this.

[Josh]

Yeah, I. I don't think so. I don't want to feel like I'm going to traffic court every day for the rest of my life, so that's a big no for me.

[Jeffrey]

It's interesting. Most people think traffic court is fun. Well, it didn't work out, Tina.

[Tina]

It's his loss.

[Jeffrey]

It's his loss.

[Alexis]

So much for something.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I know.

[Brooke]

Brookie, Jeffrey in the morning. Oh, red light, green light. Fatal in squid game. And apparently in the dating.

[Jeffrey]

How do we not make that connection earlier?

[Alexis]

That's true.

[Jeffrey]

That's funny.

[Brooke]

Probably shoulda. But maybe we should use it on this show. As soon as Brooke starts telling one of her pathetic, ugly duckling childhood stories where she tried to show skin to the mailman and even he wouldn't pay any attention to her. Alexis, you're gonna start holding up colored cards. And when it flashes, yellow means time to start wrapping the story up.

[Jeffrey]

I get red carded and you just for two minutes.

[Brooke]

A little too much. We get it. He's.

[Jeffrey]

We know.

[Brooke]

He said the left one was a little wonky and he wasn't interested. We've heard the story.

[Jeffrey]

He's always interested. Jeff. Doesn't matter how wonky things are.

[Brooke]

But if you need help in your dating life, like Brooke did back in her teenage years, you can always email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back. And go check out all of our second day podcasts. They're up online, wherever you get yours at. Brooke and Jeffrey.
