And today, you know, typically we do comments from Alexis because she gathers them all from our podcast page. But we also A text board. Yeah, dude, you can reach us in so many ways. You can text into the show. 78592 now, there's one caveat on this. We can read international text, but we can't respond.
Jeffrey
Yeah, it hurts so bad. Everything.
Brooke
I always type out the whole message. Like click send it.
Izzy
It's like, can't.
Jeffrey
I'm like, no.
Brooke
So we do read them. If you don't get a response to us, we apologize. But we have one today about our second date. And Jose, what does it say?
Jeffrey
Yeah, it says, thank you, Brooke. I didn't need strawberry blowout in my
Brooke
A little tease when you're about to hit your legs. What fun you have ahead.
Izzy
Oh, yeah.
Brooke
All right, let's get your new episode started right now. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
We've talked before about how farmer's markets can be fun dates. Cause you get to walk around, browse the produce, maybe show your sensual side, and gently squeeze an heirloom tomato.
Brooke
Wait, don't squeeze too hard. Jeff.
Jeffrey
Why was that sexual?
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Play your cards right. That could be you.
Jeffrey
Wait, but I don't want that to be me.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
How do you level that up even farther? Why not take your date to an entire food themed festival?
Brooke
Oh, yes. Let's go.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Just saying, like, just saying that sounds like it could be a guaranteed lock for another hangout.
Jeffrey
Yeah, because you guys won't fight about
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
where you want to eat, but for some reason, that isn't happening for our listener, Clark. So he's requested some help today. Clark, welcome to the show, man.
Clark
Hey, thanks for having me on.
Brooke
God, I'm excited to hear about this food experience. Is it like food trucks? What are we working with here?
Clark
Oh, we went to the Strawberry Festival.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Festival.
Brooke
Okay, that wasn't as. I don't know. Jeff set it up wrong again. I went to, like, a boysenberry festival or something like that. It is like, jumpy houses and one grandma selling some stuff. I don't know. Maybe his was a different experience.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Okay, sorry for all the hate that you got immediately. Your date idea there, I thought.
Brooke
We're touring Italy, Jeffrey.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Okay, yeah, not high budget enough for
Clark
this group, but I feel like I've maybe learned the issue already.
Brooke
Well, it's just. It's not hot. I'll say that.
Clark
It's cute.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
You can't say that when you don't know anything about what happened on the date. I don't think that's a fair thing to say.
Izzy
That's fair.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
What about the name of the woman that you went with?
Clark
I went with Izzy.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Brooke doesn't like that either.
Brooke
You got to change the name Izzy. Izzy sounds funny. I assume you guys dating app.
Clark
Yeah. So we met on the apps, and, I mean, her picture struck me as somebody who's really kind. And, I mean, of course she's beautiful, but I don't know, I just, you know, got the jive from her and I thought, hey, I'm gonna message her.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Okay, so clearly it's Photoshopped, but, yeah, that's good.
Brooke
You can't Photoshop kindness, Jeff.
Izzy
Okay.
Brooke
That's a different type of trait. I don't know. They're not facetune. You can probably do anything.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
I'm pretty sure AIs figured it out. Okay, so let's get to what you guys did on your date at the Strawberry Fest.
Clark
Yeah, so we wanted to go to have the world famous strawberry shortcake.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
That's nice.
Clark
And here's the thing. Like, the line was huge, but it wasn't so bad because, you know, it was a nice day. We could talk and start to get to know each other. And then the day just starts to get weird because we get to the front of the line and the girl says, I'm sorry we ran out of strawberries.
Brooke
And I'm like, wait, what at the strawberry.
Clark
Who the hell runs out of strawberries at a strawberry festival?
Brooke
What the heck?
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
They're so popular. The shortcakes are so in such high demand.
Brooke
I mean, obviously, everyone in the world knows about them.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Yeah, globally well known. What'd you do?
Clark
Well, so it turns out she's like, look, I just need, like, a half hour to prepare some more. So we killed some time. We come back, get to the front of the line again, and she's like, hey, I'm all set. But is it okay if yours doesn't have whipped cream? Because I ran out of that.
Jeffrey
I'll be sympathetic. I'm sure. This poor worker is, like, having the
Brooke
busiest drive to the grocery store and buy some whipped cream. It's, like, the only one there. Yeah, it's a massive attraction at this stupid festival.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Or it happened in someone's backyard, and it was, like, their little personal garden.
Brooke
I'm sorry. The thing I hate most in the world is waiting in line. So where are your guys? Patience level right now. And you're on a date because you're hungry.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Hangry.
Clark
Well, yeah. So here's the thing. I knew Izzy was hung. I didn't want to make a scene in front of her, but I'm like, dude, this is the whole reason you come here. So I asked for a discount. I'm like, if I'm not getting the full dessert, then give me a discount. Give me a reduced price on the
Jeffrey
whipped cream, though, bro.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
It's like, the cheap. What's wrong with that, Brooke?
Brooke
Well, it's like, if you're with somebody, you know, like, I get it. But also, now we're arguing with the worker because you're also upset.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Clark, did you argue with the strawberry lady?
Clark
Oh, no, no. But I was like, hey, you know, we've had to come back twice. This isn't the product you're selling. Can you give us a reduced and.
Brooke
Okay. Did you get what you wanted? Because that may be a victory.
Clark
No, in the end, I just kind of gave up and was like, all right, whatever. So we go to a picnic table, we eat our dessert. We start talking more than about our
Brooke
favorite desserts, which is probably not the one sitting in front of you.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
The dry strawberry pound cake.
Clark
Oh, wait for it. Hers is BlackBerry cobbler. Of course. Mine is strawberry shortcake with freaking whipped cream.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Okay.
Brooke
Okay.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
So the frustration might be starting to show, even if you're trying to hide it.
Brooke
Like, you guys have covered this eight times in the line while you're waiting there as well.
Clark
Yeah, I mean, look, I'm making a bigger deal out of it than it really was. Like, I was frustrated, but I knew I was on a date, so, you know, I kept my cool.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
All right, well, after the nuclear strawberry blowout, how did the date end?
Brooke
Glad we're not over dramatizing either.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Yeah, yeah.
Clark
I mean, we walk around some more, saw some live music. There was a jam judging contest, you know, that was kind of fun.
Jeffrey
A jamboree, if you will.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Oh, we can edit that. They should have you on the PR team for the Strawberry Fest.
Jeffrey
Man, I would. I would have been jamming.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Okay, well, now.
Jeffrey
Now I don't want jelly rolled my way through.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Okay, it's not.
Brooke
What was that, Clark? I mean, they're doing puns. Jam puns right now. What were you saying?
Clark
Yeah, so eventually, she's like, hey, I'm having a good time, but I should probably start heading home.
Brooke
Okay, that's.
Clark
And I said, oh, you know, we haven't seen the cutest straw baby contest yet. People dress their kids.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
That's amazing.
Clark
But look, I walked her to her car. We had a hug. It was nice. I haven't heard back from her. Soon.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Okay. How long has it been since you last had contact with Izzy?
Clark
Oh, it's been like, a couple weeks.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Oh, that's a long time.
Brooke
What do you think? What do you think? What's going on?
Clark
I mean, between the strawberry blowout and her being like, okay, I should probably go home now. Like, I. Actually. I'm not really sure what happened.
Jeffrey
Yeah, really funny.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
His frustration may have come out a little bit too much.
Jeffrey
Tell someone, like, I'm about to have a strawberry blowout.
Brooke
Let's go blow up.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Okay, we. We'll blow up her phone when we come back and try and get you your second date update right after this. Hold on, ma'.
Jeffrey
Am.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Imagine a karaoke night with no microphone. A roller coaster with no drops.
Brooke
Oh, I see. I see your analogy.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
It's amazing how taking away one little thing can completely ruin the entire concept of a fun activity.
Brooke
That's right, Jeff.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
And that's what happened to our listener Clark on his first date at the Strawberry Festival when he was served a strawberry shortcake with no whipped cream.
Brooke
After waiting. Wait. After waiting. How long in line, Clark?
Clark
Oh, man, I don't even know. It was way beyond a half hour. 45 minutes. Maybe because we had to wait in line twice.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Yes. First when they ran out of strawberries, then when they had no whipped cream. So he tried not to make a big deal out of it other than haggling over the price.
Jeffrey
And that didn't Work.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Yeah. So now he's not getting callback, which begs the question, was Clark's big public strawberry blowout too big of a turnoff for Izzy?
Brooke
I will say when I'm anticipating something so much, and I wait for it for so long, and then I get it, and I'm disappointed. I can't let it go. My husband is all like, stop complaining. Yeah, we get it.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Well, I know Clark has been anticipating this phone call we're about to make for quite a while, so that's gonna
Brooke
be a disappointment too.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Well, let's jump there. Oh, we'll see what the real issue is. Hopefully she picks up the phone. I'd dial her number right now. Here we go.
Izzy
Hello.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Hey, we're looking to speak with Izzy.
Izzy
This is.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Hey, Izzy. This is a radio show we're on in the mornings called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Brooke
Hey, Izzy.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
See what we did there with the name?
Jeffrey
What if we were Brooke and Jeffrey at night, but we're on in the morning?
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
That would be confusing.
Jeffrey
Crazy.
Clark
Okay, I know.
Jeffrey
Hi.
Brooke
Not a very funny show.
Jeffrey
Not yet. Brooke. It happens.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Yeah. Brooke, save us. Go for it.
Brooke
Just tell her why we're calling, please.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Okay, well, we're calling because this is a segment we do. It's called Second Date Update, and.
Izzy
Oh, Lord.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Yeah, I know. Wasn't my first choice for a career, but here I am. So the reason that we're calling you is because apparently you met up with a guy named Clark.
Izzy
Oh, my gosh.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Two weeks ago.
Izzy
Okay. Okay.
Clark
Okay, good.
Jeffrey
Oh, my God.
Brooke
Have you just.
Izzy
What am I supposed to say?
Brooke
Well, is it just you're not calling him back because you're so busy and you meant to and you can't wait to see him again?
Clark
Um, we just.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
We just want to know what it was like. He did tell us about the date a little bit and mentioned a few fun things that you did together. Also a few frustrating things that may have happened, at least for him.
Izzy
Okay, like the strawberry shortcake place that ran out of basically the whole thing.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Exactly.
Brooke
How was standing in line for you?
Izzy
I mean, the whole thing was ridiculous, you know, like it was a strawberry festival. How do you mess that up?
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Yeah, we.
Bowen Yang
We.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
We understood that. But one of the things that he mentioned that I thought was kind of interesting is he said he attempted to haggle with the lady over the price of the shortcake with no whipped cream. And we weren't sure if that experience may have been a turn off for you or how you felt about that.
Izzy
That. Yeah, I mean, he should Like, I agree. Like, he should have. That was ridiculous. They should be giving it discount. There's no whipped cream. Like, what?
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Okay, and the fact that the girl selling it was six years old, that didn't make a difference.
Brooke
I mean, what a bummer for him, though, right? Like, he wants to take you here, he wants to show you something cool, have this experience, and the whole thing is just deflated by their lack of preparation.
Izzy
Yeah, I mean, whatever. It didn't ruin the whole day. You know, it seemed fine. We were eating.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
So I guess we're kind of in the dark here about why exactly you're not reaching out to him.
Izzy
I mean, I'm just kind of pretty sure he's dealing with, like, situationship or something. Like, there's another girl that he might be dating or, like, maybe some type of ex situation.
Jeffrey
Another girl just came out of nowhere.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Why would you say that?
Brooke
Did you think one of the babies at the Straw Baby Festival was.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
That's why he wanted to see?
Izzy
No, no, it was. There was text messages that kept coming up on his phone, like, the entire day. And it was like, some girl named Ging. Like, one time he was grabbing napkins, and I could see the message, like, clearly wrote, ginger needs you. And then, like, he looked at it, he rolled his eyes, and I don't know, I was just kind of thinking, like, I know it's not his sister, because he had mentioned that he was an only child. Right. So I'm just. I don't know. I'm not looking to get involved in drama, especially if there's, like, another woman involved.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Okay. The drama was too much for you?
Brooke
I mean, I think that's just a simple question to him. Yeah, and it's a first date. Like, who cares?
Jeffrey
I mean, it's not overly sexual. That's true.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
It's a simple question that we could ask him right now, actually, because you don't know this, but Clark's been on the other line listening to this call, waiting to talk to you.
Izzy
Oh, fun.
Brooke
I believe that.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Clark, are you there?
Clark
Yeah. I mean, come on. This is crazy. So literally, that's the reason you're not calling back?
Brooke
Maybe start with the high. Clark don't call women crazy.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
He didn't say she's crazy. Said this is crazy.
Jeffrey
No, they still associated.
Brooke
He was insinuating.
Clark
Well, I mean, why didn't you just ask me?
Izzy
I just don't want to get involved, honestly.
Clark
Get involved with who? Like my Roomba.
Jeffrey
Ew.
Izzy
What?
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Why you just say that?
Brooke
Is that a joke?
Clark
So Ginger is The name I gave my Roomba? No.
Brooke
You're getting notifications.
Izzy
Am I supposed to honestly believe that?
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Clark explains.
Clark
So, look, when you buy a new Roomba, you name it, and it can text you updates on what it's doing.
Brooke
I mean, we named ours Alice.
Izzy
Oh, my God. That's not believable. And it's like, honestly, if you're really sticking with that story, like, I don't know, maybe I should talk to her. Yeah. Give me your number.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
What? You want Ginger's number? Yeah.
Clark
Fine. I mean, it's not how it works. You actually have to be in the same room, in sync with her.
Izzy
Oh, I see. So you're trying to get me back to your place so that I can think with your vacuum. You know, next thing you know, my top comes off.
Brooke
Oh. What? Wow.
Izzy
I've been here before.
Brooke
What is happening?
Izzy
Izzy are all alike. You only want one thing, and you'll make up anything to get a girl like a Roomba. Like, this is on another level.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Okay, why do I feel like a guy has asked you to sync with his appliances before?
Brooke
You need to take a deep breath. I think that he might be telling the truth. Might have a clean house.
Clark
Yeah.
Izzy
Okay, so while we're on a first date, you're looking at your phone, you're chatting with your vacuum, and that was, like, more important.
Clark
What happened was, is she got stuck and needed my help. Basically, she needed help getting turned around.
Izzy
Those are your priorities, right? So, like, if I'm believing your story that, like, your vacuum cleaner was texting you, it's like, okay, your vacuum cleaner is first, then the whipped cream is second, and then me third in terms of priorities.
Clark
Oh, wow. Wow.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
I don't know how we got to this point.
Clark
I mean, when you put it like that, I guess it seems like it was true. But, look, we were just hanging out. We're not in a relationship or anything. I. I don't think even on a
Izzy
date, like, your Roomba is taking priority over me.
Brooke
What, so now. Now you first thought he was lying and it was a woman, and he was trying to get you to take your top off, and now you're still mad even when you believe it's a vacuum.
Izzy
Either way, it doesn't work for me. Right? Like, if it's a Roomba, then, like, why is he spending all the time on the talking to this Roomba? Yeah.
Brooke
Oh. It just feels like maybe you're finding a reason to be mad about the situation no matter what.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Unless he was flirtatiously talking to his Roomba.
Brooke
Trying to get the Roomba to take its top off.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Clark, I don't think you meant to say that your vacuum cleaner was the top priority that night. Like, more important than connecting with Izzy.
Clark
I mean, look, my vacuum cleaner was stuck in my living room. She was alerting me.
Izzy
Me?
Clark
I'm not feeding my roommate.
Izzy
I wish that Ginger was like a true real woman because it'd be less pathetic than a man dealing with his vacuum cleaner.
Brooke
You're not giving her. I think she's jealous she doesn't have a Roomba.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
That was a low blow, Izzy.
Brooke
Man, you are the master of spin on this one.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
I mean, yeah, I think at this point, I need to ask. Clark, would you like to go out with Izzy or your vacuum cleaner, Ginger? Either one. We would pay for that date.
Clark
I mean, honestly, this thing has fallen so far off the rails. I think I'm good. I almost regret calling.
Brooke
At least you have some closure.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
You're shutting down Izzy and Ginger at the same time. You don't want to date either of them.
Clark
Correct. Yeah, I think we're good here.
Brooke
Okay, well, I think this brings up a good point. We should all name our vacuums. Only male names. Yeah.
Jeffrey
Oh, okay. Yeah, like Gus would not have gotten you in trouble.
Brooke
Exactly. Oh, with her, maybe. I don't know.
Izzy
Why am I still on the phone?
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
I don't know.
Brooke
Maybe you're stuck in a corner, too. In his living room.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Izzy, you know what? I agree with you. You're good to go. You can hang up if you want to.
Izzy
Okay, bye.
Jeffrey
We love you.
Brooke
She doesn't like you, Clark.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
I'm sorry. That went the way it went.
Clark
Thank you. Yeah, I was not expecting that.
Jeffrey
Yeah, dude, none of us were. What the heck?
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
But it's a good lesson there that whenever you go out with somebody, you need to mute Ginger so that she can't reach you.
Brooke
Or just don't run her while you're on a date.
Clark
Oh, so now you want me to be controlling. Okay, I see how it's over your appliances.
Brooke
Yeah, maybe you're more like Izzy than we thought.
Jeffrey
Okay, but if my dishwasher texts me, I need to get that.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
What is in the water right now? What's going on?
Izzy
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Did Jeff really just ask a guy if he wanted a date with his vacuum cleaner?
Brooke
Where we're at this show and look,
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
to be fair, it seems like Ginger's been through a lot. She's probably the hardest worker out of the three of them, and she deserves a night out at Applebee's. Maybe she could suck down some riblets.
Brooke
Dude, I'm with him, though. I think those vacuum cleaners are way too high. May. And also really needy. They're very attention needy. They can't just do the job without literally every five minutes having to be told whether or not they were doing a good job. They drive me nuts.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
I don't have one. So does it tell you, like, when it's starting, when it finishes the job? When it's messed up?
Brooke
Mostly I'm stuck. I'm stuck. Yeah, like stuck in a corner, stuck on a rug, stuck under the couch. This is the only thing you have to do. How did they not program you for corners? Every house has them.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Fair. Back to the dating thing. Is it too much to ask that you prioritize your date over your smart vacuum on the first night that you meet?
Brooke
I mean, was that really her problem, though? She came up with a problem every time we tried to solve.
Co-host (possibly Brooke or Jeffrey)
Yeah, that may not have even been the real issue. She was ready to get off the phone as quickly as possible. Hopefully that's not the case with you. If you ever need our help, just email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back.
Brooke
Or that vacuum.

Electric For All Advertiser
You ever wonder how far an EV can take you on one charge? Well, most people drive about 40 miles a day, which means you can do all daily stuff no problem. Go to work, grab the kids at school, get the groceries and still have enough charge to visit your in laws in the next county. But they don't need to know that and the best part, you won't have to buy gas at all. The way forward is electric. Explore EVs that fit your life@electricforall.org.
Podcast: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Episode Title: Strawberry Blowout
Date: May 11, 2026
Theme:
A lighthearted, comedic investigation into why Clark was ghosted by Izzy after their first date at a Strawberry Festival, with unexpected drama involving both dessert mishaps and smart home technology.
This episode of “Second Date Update” revolves around Clark and his baffling ghosting experience following a quirky (and somewhat failed) first date at a local Strawberry Festival with Izzy. The hosts dig into the peculiar problems that plagued the outing, including the infamous "strawberry blowout" (a dessert disaster) and suspicions about Clark’s attention being divided – possibly by another woman, or, as it turns out, his Roomba vacuum cleaner "Ginger." With signature banter and playful skepticism, the hosts prod for the real reason Izzy isn’t calling back, blending dating drama with absurdity in classic Brooke and Jeffrey style.
