[Brooke]

Hey, it's your brand new second date podcast. Thanks for being here and thanks, Alexis, for sticking it out this week. Oh, thank you, guys. If you have to hear my cough in the background of segments, it's kind of gross. You can make a drinking game out of it this week. Yeah, every time you hear me cough in the podcast, take a shot. All right. And your episode today is really about sending something to the wrong person. We've all done it, but probably not to this level. No, not to this level, that's for sure. You're gonna hear what's up in a second. But first comment. Yeah. User not found. No surname. I like that said, I'm bunking lessons in school listening to this, but I keep laughing, so I'm gonna get caught. Wait, Bunking, Guessing, Skipping.

[Jeffrey]

Wait.

[Alexis]

Bunking is when you're like, in a bunk bed with somebody.

[Brooke]

Or does he mean flunking?

[Alexis]

That makes more sense.

[Emmett]

Now.

[Brooke]

That could be flunking. I don't know. Either way, I'm gonna guess not paying attention in school. Yeah, yeah, Bunk. That's bunk. I don't know, maybe it's new slang. I'm gonna start using it. I think it just ended by you trying that. Using it without knowing what it means.

[Alexis]

You bunk it up.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I did. All right, your brand new episode starts right now.

[Redfin Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Brooke]

Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

What would you say is a brave or courageous first date? Skydiving.

[Brooke]

Oh, my Gosh See, I was gonna say eating one of those lobster boil things. It's just so messy, you know, sucking and stuff.

[Alexis]

Oh, you're right.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, that's sloppy. I don't know if that's necessarily courageous. Yeah, I was thinking more whitewater rafting or listening to Brooke and Jeffrey podcast on a Bluetooth speaker in the middle of a Whole Foods while you're on a roller coaster. That takes bravery.

[Brooke]

Why the Whole Foods?

[Jeffrey]

I only ask because one of our listeners says she convinced a guy to do something extremely brave for their first date activity, and she's requested our help today. Let's welcome Amy, the brave maker, to the show. Hey, Amy. How you doing?

[Amy]

Hey, guys. I'm doing good.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Bowen Yang]

All right.

[Brooke]

It sounds like you already had the courage to do this.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, I do it all the time.

[Brooke]

You do it all the time.

[Jeffrey]

All right, we'll get to the brave activity that you forced this guy to do, but let's learn about him. Who is he and how'd you meet him?

[Amy]

So his name is Emmett, and I met him through a dating app. And so in my profile, I list that I love doing cold plunges.

[Alexis]

Oh, I've heard of those. Like, dip in ice water, right?

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brooke]

Do you like to do it as, like, a health center, or are you going out into the wild and finding some cold water to get into?

[Amy]

I actually have, like, a cold plunge tube in my back deck.

[Redfin Announcer]

Cool.

[Alexis]

You're like Joe Rogan. He's got one of those.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Public Investing Announcer]

Pretty cool.

[Jeffrey]

What a great comparison.

[Alexis]

Amy's just like Joe Rogan. Guys, come on.

[Brooke]

That's very, like a Pilates studio. How about that? That feels better.

[Jeffrey]

How flattering. So that was your first date activity? How did that come up?

[Amy]

Yeah, so that's kind of how he approached me, messaging me. He was like, I don't think I have the cajones to do a cold plunge, like, on a first date.

[Brooke]

You're like, challenge accepted.

[Redfin Announcer]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I was like. It kind of sparked a flirty conversation, and I was like, I do it all the time. You get used to it. And he would be totally fine.

[Alexis]

See, this is kind of cute because even someone like me, who would never do this, like, if a girl was like, I challenge you, like, for our date, I would do it.

[Amy]

Yeah, right.

[Alexis]

You know, and to bond and, like, get out of your comfort zone.

[Amy]

Exactly. And it was just, like, it was really friendly competition, kind of pushing back and forth, and he was like, oh, that's more of a second or third date thing.

[Brooke]

That's Funny. So wait, did you invite him over to your house then? Since you have, I don't know, a bucket at your house filled with ice, I don't know what you got.

[Amy]

That's exactly what it is. And then I totally convinced him to do it after a little bit of light pushing.

[Brooke]

I'm sorry. I feel like the bravest part of this is you inviting a guy from a dating app straight to your house,

[Alexis]

telling him to bring his swimsuit.

[Amy]

Oh, well, you know, I do the girl thing. I. I tell people. I. You know what I mean?

[Jeffrey]

Like, yeah, you make him very aware that there are cameras on site and anything that happens will be recorded.

[Alexis]

I've already pressed 9 1. I have one more digit and I will call the police on you.

[Jeffrey]

So you be chill. Okay. So you convinced him to do it?

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, he came over. You know, I got us some liquid courage and I did it first to show him, like, not full of it. I'm not a baby. I can totally do it. Yeah, Put my money where my mouth

[Jeffrey]

is now he has to.

[Amy]

And then, yeah, then he went for it.

[Jeffrey]

Wow. And how did it go?

[Amy]

I was really impressed. I mean, when he got in, he totally screamed. Highest pitch scream I think I've ever heard, but he totally did it. And you know, we dried off, laughed about it. Just like, grab my portable heater and watch the movie. It was. It was a really nice date.

[Brooke]

It sounds actually pretty romantic.

[Amy]

Yeah, it was really great. It was really up there for top dates. And like after a bit, we just like hugged and he left and I felt really great about it and. And then I did something kind of stupid. Oh yeah. Like after he left, I thought it went really well. So I was like, oh, well, I'm going to send a picture to my friends because, like.

[Jeffrey]

Got it.

[Amy]

I think this might go somewhere.

[Alexis]

He's pre approved.

[Brooke]

Like, not a. Yeah, not a sneaky picture that you took. A picture that you grabbed from his dating profile, right?

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, from his profile pic.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

I don't think you want to send a picture of the guy straight out of the cold plunge to you.

[Amy]

That's not going to be an impression. No, no, kinder than that. I know how things work.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so how do you mess that up?

[Amy]

Yeah, I accidentally sent it to him instead of my friends.

[Jeffrey]

Wait.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

What did the message say?

[Alexis]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy]

It wasn't bad. I was just like, look at this cutie. I got him to go in the cold plun. And I followed up. I was like, hey, I'm so Sorry. I was trying to send it to my friends because you're so cute.

[Alexis]

I wish you said cutie. That is cringe. Sending a picture.

[Brooke]

Don't you think you'd be flattered?

[Alexis]

I mean, yeah, I guess.

[Brooke]

She's showing you off already. She's excited about you. As long as he's into her equally, you know, if he wasn't into her and then that happens, I feel like it's a turn off.

[Jeffrey]

That's a good point. I mean, how did he respond to it?

[Amy]

I thought he was into me, but then I got like, no response from him. And then like, even the next day I wrote, I'm really sorry. Would you forgive me? It was just. It was a mistake. And then I still didn't get an answer. I haven't gotten any answers since.

[Alexis]

Wow. I mean, you put some on social media. Yeah, like he was hiding that.

[Brooke]

And it's not like you were saying anything explicit or.

[Amy]

The cutie helps you.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I mean, you guys had just joked so much prior to that. It seems like he could have laughed it off.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Or you've come off as a totally superficial person that only cares for him about his cute looks.

[Brooke]

Jeff. Yeah, saw him get out of a cold plunge. Yeah, no way. He was looking good.

[Amy]

And what I don't get is like, towards the end of the date, I felt we really hit it off. It felt like we were going to have a second date. It just. It felt really good. And I'm usually not like delusional about these things.

[Alexis]

That's like why you were sending it to your friends. Like I said, he's like pre approved now. You got to show him off to everybody. Hey, what do you think of him?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, we'll see how delusional you really are or aren't when we come back. We'll give you the full Delulu test when we do your second date update and call it Emmett right after this.

[Redfin Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning second date update.

[Jeffrey]

Ooh, talk about an awkward ending. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning because our listener Amy had a solid first date with a guy that she liked named Emmett. In fact, went so well, they were already planning their next hangout when Amy, quote, and these are her words, screwed it all up. Cause she meant to send Emmett's profile pic to some of her girlfriends, trying to show him off a little bit, but instead sent it straight to him, probably with a bunch of heart, eyes and pickle emojis underneath. Because I know how you ladies do pickle. So immediately the Bumps on it. Yeah, I know. I've seen Brooks texts. They are weird. So immediately she sent him an apology and explained what happened. Got no response. And now her friend fate lies in our supple hands. Amy, would you prefer to go by the name Shamy for the next few minutes? Because I do feel the shame for you. We're just joking.

[Brooke]

I mean, I think it's an innocent mistake. We've all done something really stupid like that before. Like for him to not understand it and not respond, like that kind of sucks.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

But you also understand that it's a little bit creepy to be sent photos of yourself. Yeah, that's.

[Brooke]

You don't think all girls do that? Then you're stupid. I know. I'm with Alexis on that. I get so excited when I get a text from my girlfriends after they go out with somebody.

[Alexis]

But I think that's the thing. We all know everybody does it, but to see it happen, it's like, kind of jarring.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. It could freak you out.

[Brooke]

So it should be flattering that that's just how we have to paint it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, Brooke, you tell him that.

[Bowen Yang]

I will.

[Jeffrey]

You should be flattered.

[Brooke]

You should be.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, we're gonna see if he even answers the phone, but I'm gonna dial his number right now. Let's do it. You ready, Amy?

[Amy]

I'm ready.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, here we go.

[Emmett]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Emmett?

[Emmett]

Yeah, this is Emmett. Who's this?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, man. This is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

What's up, Emmett? The whole show's here.

[Jeffrey]

How you doing?

[Emmett]

What's going on?

[Brooke]

You sound like a fun, loving guy.

[Jeffrey]

Calling our fans. Not much, bro. Yeah, no, we're kidding. By the way, this is part of a segment that we're doing. It's called a second date Update. We do have a reason for calling you.

[Emmett]

The only date I've gone on here recently would be lady named Amy. Is that you're calling about?

[Alexis]

Oh, yeah. Wow.

[Bowen Yang]

Wow.

[Brooke]

Offer it up to us.

[Alexis]

You're helping us here.

[Jeffrey]

A lady?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Oh, my.

[Jeffrey]

Sounds like you are hot for her.

[Brooke]

What a coincidence.

[Jeffrey]

That is funny because Amy is the person who reached out to us wanting to get a hold of you.

[Emmett]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Because according to her, you have not been really talking to her at all since your date.

[Emmett]

That would be correct, yes.

[Brooke]

Is there a reason?

[Jeffrey]

Because Amy thinks there might be a reason.

[Emmett]

I'd be curious to know what that reason is.

[Brooke]

Oh, what she thinks. Well, it feels like it should be obvious.

[Jeffrey]

Yes. She told us that after the date she was Happy with how things went.

[Brooke]

And excited.

[Jeffrey]

Very excited. And wanted to show a photo of you to some of her girlfriends.

[Emmett]

She sent me my own picture.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So she thinks maybe that weirded you out and scared you away.

[Emmett]

It was a little strange. I mean, not sure how much she told you, but the picture was, like, altered.

[Alexis]

No, she got it from your socials.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Like, screenshotted it off your page, off your dating app.

[Bowen Yang]

Right.

[Emmett]

I mean, I. I know the picture she got it from, but it looked weird. It was, like, different.

[Brooke]

Wait, do you have an Android? Is this an iPhone to Android?

[Alexis]

Probably.

[Jeffrey]

There's, like, a green bubble behind it. I didn't understand.

[Alexis]

Sounds grainy.

[Jeffrey]

It's really funny.

[Brooke]

Is that it?

[Emmett]

No, it wasn't that. I compared the two pictures. It made me look, like, 20 pounds lighter.

[Brooke]

What? Oh, wait, I thought you were gonna say, like, she put a cool filter on it, like she made you skinny.

[Emmett]

Yeah, I looked a lot skinnier. My chin has never looked so narrow in my life.

[Alexis]

Hey, look at you. Strong chin.

[Jeffrey]

That's a good thing, right?

[Brooke]

That has to be some mistake.

[Alexis]

Like, why would you Photoshop or whatever she did?

[Jeffrey]

I'm with you. It's weird. What are you thinking?

[Emmett]

I don't know. Maybe she AI'd the thing or something, ran it through some kind of filter or something.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

Why would she do that, though?

[Brooke]

Maybe she wanted to make him look hotter for her friends.

[Jeffrey]

But she's not a superficial person, Brooke.

[Brooke]

Maybe. I mean, there are some friend groups that get weird with each other and competitive.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I mean, I can understand how that would make you feel. Weird?

[Emmett]

Yeah. I mean, I'm not, like, an ogre or something.

[Brooke]

That's, like, so insulting. I would be really insulted.

[Jeffrey]

But, you know, it'd make you probably feel really weird, is if I told you that Amy was, like, secretly listening in on this phone call just so she could hear your explanation for avoiding her. That would be weird, right?

[Alexis]

I do want to talk to her,

[Jeffrey]

because that is kind of what's happening.

[Emmett]

Oh, she's listening to this?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's how it works.

[Emmett]

Okay, well, I want to know what's up. Why is she enhancing me? What's going on?

[Jeffrey]

I'm telling you, she's listening right now, and you can ask her that.

[Emmett]

Amy, are you there?

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Emmett]

What is going on?

[Amy]

I mean, look, I feel like everybody can use a little, like, help looking better. The filters are there. I just kind of wanted to show what your potential could be.

[Alexis]

Oh, it was not.

[Amy]

Hey, not 20 pounds. It was, like, 10 to 15 max.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay, you're overreacting.

[Emmett]

I'm overreacting. And the additional tan that you gave my skin.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, he was tan.

[Brooke]

Hey, that's kind of nice.

[Emmett]

Oh yeah.

[Amy]

I mean it's. It's just a tan. I mean it's just a tan. It's not like I changed your nose or anything. I didn't do anything like crazy perm. It's nothing that you couldn't do if you worked out more. Put in a little bit more effort.

[Jeffrey]

Oh my God, what's going to try

[Brooke]

to defend you and say like, maybe this is something that you think is normal because you do it to your own pictures?

[Amy]

Well, doesn't everybody put like your zoom filter on when you're on. You know what I mean?

[Jeffrey]

I mean like, Brooke, what are you saying? That you're against self improvement? That you don't want. You don't think people could get any better than they actually are?

[Brooke]

Self improvement is something that you do to improve yourself, not something you do to improve someone else. Whether they like it or not.

[Jeffrey]

Sometimes you need to be shoved into self improvement.

[Amy]

I mean, it was all tiny. It was like the skin. It was a minimal amount of like weight loss and like, and just like a slight whitening of the teeth and it was it.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, a teeth whitening.

[Emmett]

See? Whitened my freaking teeth.

[Amy]

Oh, well, I mean, just a little bit. I mean your teeth are really straight, so it's not like I had to do a bunch of stuff. And like, I mean, other than that, your teeth are perfect.

[Brooke]

Other than that. That is not the compliment you think it is, Amy.

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean, I'm just trying to be honest.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, and all these improvements are so much cheaper when you do them on Photoshop and not in real life, I think.

[Alexis]

So True.

[Brooke]

Amy, were you attracted to him or were you actually hoping that these changes would happen if you started dating him

[Amy]

and was definitely attracted to him? But I do a lot to take care of myself, hence cold plunge. And yeah, I would hope that somebody would take care of themselves the way that I did if I were in a relationship with them. Yeah, yeah.

[Brooke]

It's always good to start something where you just totally want to change the other person.

[Jeffrey]

Emmett, do you feel loved right now?

[Emmett]

I don't know what to think right now. This is just the weirdest thing ever.

[Jeffrey]

Listen, Amy is taking a big risk here. She didn't have to say that she whitened your teeth, but she sees the potential in you and your team. That should be inspiring.

[Emmett]

She did have to confess though, she Sent me the picture.

[Brooke]

Right? Emmett, you deserve someone who likes you for you.

[Jeffrey]

Crickets from the room. Okay, so look, I believe that any woman who goes through that much trouble. I'm guessing it took at least an hour and a half to Photoshop and AI all the bad stuff out of your phone, and she did that for you. And that level of dedication deserves a second chance, if you ask me. If you say yes, we will pay for another date with her.

[Emmett]

I don't know. I would be embarrassed to ever be seen in front of her Friends are gonna be like, this doesn't look anything like this guy.

[Jeffrey]

But if you put in the work, then you won't have to be embarrassed.

[Brooke]

Why are you inviting this man to run into all these red flags?

[Jeffrey]

Because the photo sounds really hot.

[Alexis]

Yeah, I didn't think about that though. Her friends are gonna have an image of you in their head, right?

[Emmett]

It's gonna be like, shallow how, but in real life.

[Jeffrey]

Look, Emmett, if you say no, at least. Hey, now you have a better dating pict. Can lure more women in.

[Brooke]

Do not catfish people with that.

[Jeffrey]

It's him. Just the better version.

[Emmett]

Like a free head shot, I guess. Well, you know, you spin it that way there.

[Jeffrey]

It's up to you, man. You want to see Amy one more time? We'll pay.

[Amy]

If it makes you feel better. Send, like, the original photo to my friends.

[Alexis]

Include him in the group chat.

[Jeffrey]

Include him?

[Brooke]

Why do I not believe you? The way you say no.

[Amy]

I mean, like, I'll have him with me when I do it. Like, I swear I wasn't trying to make him feel bad. That photo was not for him.

[Brooke]

I just don't let him see the responses from your friends because I have a feeling they're not going to be very nice.

[Jeffrey]

Well, we still need to hear from Emmett. Is it a yes or no?

[Emmett]

Regretfully, I'm going to say yes because we have a lot of matches right now on my algorithms.

[Brooke]

So

[Jeffrey]

this is true love.

[Brooke]

I feel like this is the rock bottom, Jeff.

[Amy]

So I know we did the cold plunge first date, and I think second date tanning salon.

[Brooke]

Oh, my.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God. You're speaking Alexis's love language.

[Emmett]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

Third day dental office.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Lucky you.

[Amy]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

It is messed up. Like in the weirdest way, trying to find the light in it. She was like, this is what you could be. I want to inspire potential.

[Brooke]

If a guy sent a photo of me to his buddies that were I was skinnier and hotter with bigger boobs, I would be so pissed.

[Alexis]

You know what? Now that you say that, you're right. It's a double. There's no way.

[Jeffrey]

I've seen pictures of your mom though, Brooke. So like, yeah, get out. I feel it I'm just saying Amy never told us that she was going to do that, so I think the whole room was absolutely surprised. But I did have some conversations with her and told her that she could do our photos on our website. Oh because I think we could all improve. So head over to our podcast. You might see an updated photo already with our skin a little bit tanner, teeth a little bit whiter.

[Alexis]

Oh my gosh. Please don't make Ashton any skinnier. Dude, be a piece of paper.

[Brooke]

It's like I'm finally doing Botox again.
