All right, it's your second date update podcast, and today we've got a woman who claims she's a one month er. Yeah, apparently it's a. I don't know if it's a trend, but it's what she does. She waits an entire 30 days before they meet up again. That's some willpower. I know you're not gonna believe why, but we're gonna get to that in your second Date Update. We always like to start, of course, the podcast with some great comments because we have the most amazing listeners. Yeah, we do. Including Espinosa, who commented, ooh, I like the name. And said, damn it, y'all crack me up. My name is Arlene, and I listen to you guys every morning when I go to work at 5:00am Brooke. Love you, girl. Chef, you the man. Jose, you man. You rock. You remind me of myself. Just a man version. Lol. Alexis, girl, you in the back, but you still count, girl. Love listening to you guys. Keep it up. I love Arlene's energy. I do, too, too. That's awesome, Arlene. Hey, thank you. To everyone who comments, who subscribes, and who shares. We love you endlessly. Yeah, thanks for making us laugh. All right, now it's our turn. Let's get to the second date.
Alexis
Second Date Update.
Jeffrey
Dating online right now is like being a contestant on a really stressful game show. At least that's how our listener Sean felt because he was challenged recently by the lady he's interested in, and she gave him one simple but agonizing question to answer. If he got it right, there's a date and possibly a new car. What if he got it wrong? Might never see her profile picture again, and Steve Harvey would look at him in shame and disgust. I am intrigued by this new age of dating, and I can't wait to hear what the question was. But first, Sean, tell us about this mystery game show girl that you met. Who is she?
Sean
Her name is Janine, and she is super hot.
Brooke
Oh, God. Super hot. Janine. Yeah. You do have to be super hot.
Jeffrey
You really do.
Brooke
With really white teeth. Like, my God, their teeth are so white.
Jeffrey
And what was the question that Janine challenged you with?
Sean
The question was country or rap? Which has to go country, obviously.
Brooke
Yeah, I think country's got for sure country.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
Oh, you're getting rid of rap? Are you getting rid of rap?
Jeffrey
I Mean, I don't want to get rid of either one, if I'm being honest.
Brooke
Nobody does.
Jeffrey
That's why it's a hard question. Okay, well, what did you say, Sean?
Sean
I said, ditch country. But that picture of you drinking champagne on the beach is the best picture on this app. And I think that's what got her.
Brooke
Okay, that was it Felt like you didn't transition well to that compliment. Country, but you're hot.
Jeffrey
Not really playing by the rules there. What did she say?
Sean
Well, she said that I failed the main question.
Jeffrey
Yeah, see, that's the thing. Girls love country music. Girls do love.
Sean
Yeah. But I got bonus points for appreciating her pick. She said so.
Brooke
Okay, okay.
Jeffrey
So you got somewhere smart to slip the compliment.
Brooke
And so what'd you guys end up doing?
Sean
You know, I ended up kind of going back and forth, like, within the app. I joked about zooming in on the picture, and she was like, what are you, you know, like, perving out on me? I was like, no, zooming in to see what kind of champagne you're drinking. I want to know if you're drinking the classy stuff, you know?
Jeffrey
Okay, nice. Also, I know your swimsuit size now. I saw. But you end up doing for your date, like, did you take her on a long drive down a country road.
Brooke
If she's a country girl with the champagne of her choice?
Jeffrey
Yeah. Rent a pickup truck for the day.
Sean
I took her on a very short drive to a restaurant.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
Country bar.
Brooke
Not her vibe. Yeah.
Jeffrey
What type of restaurant?
Sean
It was a Asian sushi, like, buffet kind of restaurant.
Jeffrey
Couldn't be less country than Asian sushi buffet. You walk in, they're like, which country?
Brooke
Okay, that's good.
Jeffrey
So delicious.
Brooke
How was it? I mean, that's. I always think sushi is a sexy date. It is.
Sean
Yeah, it was. It was great. And it was one of these places that's kind of adjoining, like a shopping center, like a kind of mall type area.
Brooke
Okay. That made it not hot. I took her to a strip mall.
Jeffrey
This is tanking in front of our eyes.
Brooke
But don't give them that. There's high end malls that have, like, high end restaurants.
Jeffrey
Yeah. I mean, give us some highlights here from the day. What are some good things that happened at Sushi?
Sean
Well, it was good. Sushi was, like, pretty high end. And we had a great conversation. And, you know, the best thing about that location is being close to a shopping center is you have the opportunity to extend your day.
Brooke
Oh, oh. Like, oh, do you want to go.
Jeffrey
Build a bear together?
Brooke
I think that I'd like that. I was going to say, we know your age, Alexis. It's not shocking at all.
Jeffrey
You could put a little cowboy hat on him, a little vest and boots.
Brooke
That would be so cute. It's actually. And then you'd have a little teddy bear to remember your hair. That is always cute.
Jeffrey
Is that what you did, Sean?
Sean
We actually. She had a high school reunion coming up, so she wanted to try on some clothes for that. So we went over to a department store and she tried on a bunch of stuff and showed it to me, and I got to put my input in there. And it was cute. It was fun.
Brooke
That's how you know she's hot, though, because, like, I wouldn't trade clothes in front of a guy. They can look so bad. You know? It is like a couple thing to do. Yeah.
Jeffrey
You know, she's literally gonna ask you, do I look fat in this? You have to be prepared for that. Yeah. I don't know. As a. As a guy, that doesn't sound very fun to me to watch women put on a bunch of different outfits. But how was it for you, Sean?
Sean
It was fun. Like, I. We. I think we really hit it off. And at the end of the day, she said, hey, let's hang again soon, and we kissed.
Jeffrey
You did?
Sean
Yeah. She initiated a kiss?
Brooke
Well, she initiated a kiss.
Sean
Well, it was kind of. It was mutual. It was mutual.
Brooke
How are you on the phone with us and not just out on a date with her?
Sean
I don't know. I asked her when she was free, and she said a month from now.
Jeffrey
Was she going out of town or something?
Sean
I don't know. I thought she was joking. I laughed, and then she didn't laugh, and I said, are you joking? And she said, no, I'm just super busy, but I want to see you.
Brooke
Oh, I want to see you in 31 days.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Sean
That's so long.
Jeffrey
It seems like a red flag, like, what's going through your mind when you.
Sean
Hear that, Sean, she's dating other people, which is okay, but.
Brooke
Yeah, I mean, that's obvious, right?
Jeffrey
Or is.
Sean
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Maybe already in a relationship.
Brooke
That's what I was thinking. Jeffrey, he goes out of town. That's what I was gonna say. Yeah.
Jeffrey
All right. So has it been a month since that date happened and now we're reaching out?
Sean
It's been closer to a week. But, you know, I'm not gonna wait a whole month for her.
Jeffrey
Oh, yeah. Rat boy doesn't play by the rules. He just waits a week, and then Calls that country girl.
Brooke
I mean, you just saying Rat Boy shows that you don't understand too a lot about.
Jeffrey
Hi, my name's Rat Boy. Young Jeffrey's about to drop the mic.
Brooke
Stick to the. That's what you're doing.
Jeffrey
Put a straw in your mouth. We're just gonna play a song is what we're gonna do an old school song, and then we'll come back, we'll call Janine for you and try and get you a second date.
Sean
All right?
Jeffrey
All right. Hold on, man. Second date update, yo.
Brooke
No.
Jeffrey
Yo, what the hell? Yeah, this is Lil Rap boy. I'm on the mic. Cause hip hop music is the stuff I like country is whack, yeah, Makes me yawn. Rather do my sushi with my homeboy Sean. Yeah, I said, boy, that's B O Y, like winky winky.
Brooke
What?
Jeffrey
Yo, Sean's my guy. Yeah, boy. First two go ahead.
Brooke
Sean.
Jeffrey
But deadly Sean's over there.
Brooke
Do you know how many verses?
Sean
I don't know if I'm gonna top that. That was incredible.
Jeffrey
That's right.
Brooke
That's a good answer.
Jeffrey
Little Rat Boys at the top of his game.
Brooke
Yo, other than that, I may be switching the country. Yeah.
Jeffrey
Can I say you don't know what is going on? We're talking to Sean, who's a big fan of rap music over country music. But anyway, he recently went out with a girl that he met online named Janine. They went to Mall Sushi together and.
Brooke
Don't say it like that. He said it was a nice place.
Jeffrey
It was a nice Mall Sushi restaurant. A classy one. He even went with her to the mall and helped her pick out an outfit for her high school reunion that was coming up. But afterwards, even though it ended with a date, she said we need to wait at least a month before we see each other again, which is weird.
Brooke
Ended with a kiss.
Jeffrey
I know.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Is that what I said?
Brooke
No, with a date was what you said.
Jeffrey
Oh, okay.
Brooke
Sorry. I knew what you meant.
Jeffrey
That's what I meant.
Brooke
I didn't know if everybody else did.
Jeffrey
I'm still in that, you know, rap mode. Hardcore rap. But anyway, he's not waiting the full month. He wants us to call just a week after that date to figure out why does he have to wait so long?
Brooke
I don't know. Maybe there's like. Like a waiting period. She's like the DMV after to take a number and. Come on, she's got options, man.
Jeffrey
And Sean, you think that maybe the reason is that she could already be Involved with somebody else. Yeah.
Brooke
Makes sense.
Sean
Yeah. It could even be something serious if it's that long.
Brooke
Okay, that's true. Was she pregnant? Maybe she's about to give birth if she wants to wait.
Jeffrey
Better eating sushi if she's pregnant. That's a good point.
Brooke
You can get the fried stuff.
Jeffrey
We're just going to assume that she's not pregnant, and we're going to call her and see what she has to say. Why does Shawn have to wait a full month to go out with her? I'm a dollar number right now. Here we go.
Janine
Hello?
Jeffrey
Hey, is this Janine?
Janine
Yes.
Jeffrey
Yo, Janine, what's up? That's right. What's up, y'all?
Brooke
Hi, Janine.
Jeffrey
Hi, this is Jeff and company from the morning show. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Janine
Okay.
Brooke
Yeah, morning radio show.
Jeffrey
And we're calling because we have some questions for you about one of our listeners that you went out on a date with the other day.
Janine
Sorry, it's weird.
Jeffrey
I understand that. But we're reaching out on behalf of our boy Sean.
Brooke
Remember Sean?
Janine
Yes.
Jeffrey
Yeah. So we heard a little bit about your date, and it sounded good on our end, but he told us that afterwards you said that he had to wait a whole month before he was allowed to see you again.
Janine
Yes, I did.
Brooke
Okay. So. I mean, pretty long. From my perspective, that just means you are not, like, you're putting it off. Like, why? I mean, if you like somebody, you find time.
Jeffrey
Unless you're going out of town.
Janine
No, I'm not going out of town. I do want to see him again.
Jeffrey
We. We thought that maybe there's a chance you could already be in a relationship. Is that what's going on?
Janine
No, no, no, no. It's not anything like that now.
Sean
Okay.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
But, I mean, you do sound hesitant to talk about it with us.
Janine
It's just. It's. It's a little. It's a little awkward. I'm just. I'm not sure how to put it.
Jeffrey
We love awkwardness.
Brooke
Yeah, we do. And listen, I mean, you've got a guy that it sounds like you like, but he feels like it's not being reciprocated. I mean, you've got to give him more than just wait a month else. I don't know that he'll stick around.
Jeffrey
I mean, we're here to try and help you, Janine.
Janine
Yeah. It's just so. I don't know. I don't know what he told you or anything, but I have a high school reunion coming up soon, and I was just Waiting to see him until after that was done.
Jeffrey
I don't understand why. Why do you have to wait until after the reunion? You could bring him to. Yeah, you can even come with you. As your date.
Janine
Yeah, right. But that's kind of the thing.
Jeffrey
What?
Janine
I'll put it this way. So he's totally boyfriend material, But I don't know if he's, like, material that I would bring to, like, a big event where I know a lot of people. Does that make fun of me?
Brooke
What, are you embarrassed of him?
Jeffrey
You can tell us.
Janine
Like, okay, you go to your high school reunion and you kind of want to, like, show off a little bit, right? Like, oh, look at me, I'm doing so well. I just don't know if he's like. Like arm candy.
Jeffrey
Wait a minute. He's not show offable. He's not like.
Brooke
But you're attracted to him.
Janine
I am.
Brooke
Like, he's.
Janine
He's fine looking fine.
Jeffrey
Ouch.
Brooke
So he's boyfriend material, personality wise. You're saying you find him in the middle of the magazine, just not on the COVID and you want to bring a cover boy?
Jeffrey
It's like one of those people. Their personality makes them way more attractive.
Brooke
Yeah. Why would that matter? Union.
Janine
Like I said, you kind of want to go and show off a little bit of these things. I feel like that's the point of them. I'm just afraid if we start dating, he would expect to be invited. And, like, how do I tell him? Like, oh, you're not attractive enough to go with me to this thing. Like, you can't.
Jeffrey
I could think of a great way that you can tell him that.
Brooke
This is hurting me.
Jeffrey
Jeffrey already did tell him that. Because he's listening right now.
Sean
Yeah. You don't need to worry about inviting me to this thing. Don't worry.
Jeffrey
Oh, your prom king's on the line.
Janine
Okay.
Jeffrey
Yeah, sorry. That's how this works. We have them waiting on the other line so they could hear the reason.
Janine
Oh, yeah. I wish I would have known that before I said anything.
Jeffrey
Most people do.
Janine
Hey, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I knew that would sound bad, and that's why I didn't say anything to you about it. I do like you. I do want to see you again. I mean, do you kind of understand where I'm coming from, maybe that I would want to bring someone else?
Sean
No, not at all. You put on a real performance for me the other night. It feels like, like, you know, I don't know why you would assume that I would want to go to your high school reunion anyway? Like, I don't want to. High school reunions suck. I don't. I didn't even want to go to mine, so why would I want to go to yours, you know?
Jeffrey
Are you getting defensive, bro?
Sean
Me not being arm candy? Like, I'm not trying to be arm candy. That's not what I'm about.
Janine
So, yeah, I think this whole thing got, like, Got really weird.
Brooke
Shawn, are you really over it? I mean, she didn't mean to hurt your feelings. She's being superficial. We all know the pressure that, like, a reunion can bring around. Right? Right. Especially if you're a dork like me in high school. Like, you want to show up looking cool. I don't know.
Jeffrey
Why are we talking about you being.
Brooke
I understand her, like, desire to want to do that. I don't think that it's the right thing to do, but I get it.
Jeffrey
Okay, so image. You're. You're basically calling Shawn a dork in a roundhouse type of way.
Brooke
I'm saying she must have used to been a dork if she has to impress them with her.
Jeffrey
Okay, now you're calling both people on the line. Look, a dork doesn't want to show up with an ug That's a broken.
Brooke
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. But I'm saying it shouldn't matter. It won't matter in the end. Don't. Like, you guys vibed. You kissed, you had a great time.
Jeffrey
Okay, enough, Brooke, you're tanking this whole thing.
Brooke
Sean, you're becoming a dork again, Bro.
Jeffrey
This whole thing is about you and helping you out. How do you feel in this moment?
Sean
I. I'm out. Like, I understand we put her on the spot, but she just torched my ego, and I don' I don't need that in my life. You know, I also don't. I'm not interested in being arm candy. Like, I'm a good dude. I rock.
Jeffrey
So you know what we're going to do, Sean? I'm not even going to ask Janine to get a second date. Wow. I'm sorry that that happened, man.
Sean
Can you hook me up with a second date with somebody else? Because I do have other matches.
Jeffrey
All right, that sounds good. Sean, call us back when they ditch you. Coming up.
Brooke
I mean, it is what the segment is.
Jeffrey
I didn't mean it as a dance.
Brooke

Jeffrey

Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Brooke

Podcast Summary: "Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update – The Good, the Bad & the Fugly"
Episode Overview
In the April 16, 2025 episode of "Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update," hosted by iHeartPodcasts, Brooke and Jeffrey delve into the complexities of modern dating through the real-life experience of their listener, Sean. The episode, titled "The Good, the Bad & the Fugly," provides an insightful and humorous exploration of dating challenges, listener interactions, and relationship dynamics, all while maintaining an engaging and relatable tone for their audience.
Listener Story: Sean and Janine’s Second Date Conundrum
Introduction to Sean’s Date At [02:35], Brooke introduces the main topic: Sean’s intriguing dating scenario with Janine. Sean is characterized as a “one-month-er,” meaning he waits an entire 30 days before scheduling a second date. This unusual approach piques Brooke and Jeffrey's curiosity, setting the stage for a deeper exploration into Sean’s dating life.
The Agonizing Question: Country or Rap? Jeffrey begins recounting Sean's story at [03:46], comparing online dating to a stressful game show. Sean was faced with Janine’s pivotal question: “Country or rap? Which has to go.” This question, posed at [04:40], serves as a litmus test for compatibility. Sean’s response, choosing to [05:01] "ditch country," reflects his personal music preference but inadvertently leads to a critical moment in their budding relationship.
The First Date Experience Sean and Janine’s date unfolds at an Asian sushi buffet located in a mall, as detailed around [05:14]. Despite the seemingly mismatched setting—boasting Brooke’s humorous critique of the location as "not her vibe"—Sean describes the evening as enjoyable, highlighting [07:09] their great conversation and the convenience of being near a shopping center. They even ventured into a department store to help Janine select an outfit for her upcoming high school reunion, a gesture that signifies Sean’s attentiveness and willingness to engage in her interests.
A Kiss and a Cooling-Off Period The evening culminates in a mutual kiss, as Sean recounts at [08:18], yet Janine's surprising request to wait a month before their next meeting leaves Sean perplexed and disheartened. Brooke captures Sean’s frustration at [09:03] when he laments, “I’m not gonna wait a whole month for her,” highlighting the emotional turmoil and confusion surrounding Janine's delay.
Brooke and Jeffrey Seek Clarity: Reaching Out to Janine
Confronting Janine Determined to uncover the reason behind Janine’s request, Brooke and Jeffrey proactively contact Janine on [12:36]. Their conversation reveals Janine’s apprehensions about bringing Sean as her date to her high school reunion. She expresses uncertainty about presenting Sean as "arm candy," fearing it might not align with her desire to showcase her personal success and confidence during the reunion.
Janine’s Perspective At [14:00], Janine clarifies, “I do want to see you again,” but admits her insecurity in introducing Sean to her social circle. This candid admission opens up a dialogue about the importance of being comfortable and confident in public settings with a significant other.
Sean’s Reaction Sean’s response is heartfelt yet resolute. At [17:06], he expresses his desire not to be treated as mere "arm candy," stating, “I’m not interested in being arm candy. I’m a good dude. I rock.” This declaration underscores the importance of mutual respect and genuine connection in relationships.
Brooke and Jeffrey’s Takeaways and Community Support
Assessing the Situation Brooke and Jeffrey analyze the situation, recognizing both Janine’s need to feel secure and Sean’s legitimate concerns about being valued beyond his appearance. Brooke empathizes at [17:57], acknowledging the pressures of social expectations during reunions, while Jeffrey emphasizes the necessity of authenticity in Sean’s pursuit of meaningful connections.
Community Engagement Throughout the episode, Brooke and Jeffrey highlight their supportive community, encouraging listeners like Sean to seek genuine connections rather than succumbing to superficial dating norms. They offer a blend of humor and empathy, reinforcing the podcast’s mission to navigate the complexities of modern dating with both wit and wisdom.
Conclusion and Future Steps In wrapping up the episode, Brooke and Jeffrey reassure Sean by promising to assist him in finding a second date with someone who appreciates him for who he truly is. This commitment to their listeners' happiness underscores the podcast’s dedication to providing practical advice and fostering a supportive community.
