When Kohler, global design leader in luxurious kitchen and bath products, asked me to be their ambassador for timeless, elegant, durable cast iron, I said I'm in. Soon after, I was in their Kohler Wisconsin foundry watching molten iron, poured enamel applied by hand and the beautiful finished pieces ready to ship. Since 1883, Kohler cast iron has been crafted by incredible artisans and and seeing it firsthand gave me a whole new appreciation for their craftsmanship. Now I am proud to lend my staff of approval to my favorite Kohler Cast Iron products for their durability, beauty and enduring style.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, thanks for being here. It is your second day podcast and we got a brand new episode for you today and you found the official one. So shoot. Subscribe. Yep. I mean that is the only answer to that.

[Alexa]

And unsubscribe from the other fake ones.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, thank you. And don't forget to also follow our YouTube if you're not already listening from there. It's YouTube.com BrookeandJeffrey I believe. Probably test it and let us know.

[Alexa]

Yeah, he said probably.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but we're putting live videos up there so you can watch now some of these second dates and awkward Tuesdays. Yes. And on yesterday's live video, Sarah hall commented and said what a lovely surprise. Do you think if I get pulled over I can blame you guys for going live? Maybe the cop will be a fan and let me off the hook for driving while distracted. Do not watch while driving. Been listening for over 10 years. Not even sure how I came across you guys all those years, but I'm so Happy to have accidentally found my daily escape. Oh, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. Why are you searching on YouTube while driving?

[Alexa]

Your best bet is that the cop goes, you know what? I was too.

[Jeffrey]

I'm letting you all today. We might get you a ticket. Sarah, let's do this more safely. Okay? Let's pull over and then watch YouTube.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Here it goes. Your brand new episode starts right now. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Brooke]

I googled best food and worst food to order on a first date. Guess what it said.

[Alexa]

That's a good question. I wonder.

[Jeffrey]

I feel like worst food would be, like, crab. Oh, that, you know. Yeah, but it's so messy. Smells good.

[Brooke]

Guess worst it said was ribs or hot wings. Okay, best grilled chicken or fish. Oh, okay. But I bring it up because our listener Peter said his food choice definitely caused some reactions, not just amongst his date, but among the wait staff that was there too. We'll see how it affected their hangout. Hopefully it wasn't just a bunch of PB and J's, but, Peter, welcome to the show.

[Peter]

Hey, what's up, guys?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, Peter, it sounds like you've got a story for us.

[Peter]

Oh, yeah, this one's great.

[Brooke]

All right, well, tell us about this woman that you met. What's her name?

[Peter]

All right, well, I met this really cool girl. Her name's Emma. I met her off this app called Match Apple Matchup.

[Jeffrey]

What's that about? I haven't heard of that one before.

[Peter]

I mean, it's kind of just like Bumble Tundra. It's kind of like the same spiel.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

Nothing special. All right, well, I'm glad you brought it up.

[Peter]

Which is like a new app, so I just thought I'd give it a shot. And I always kind of have that. Good luck on it. But anyways, long story short, Emma's really cool, super attractive, and then she's, like, active, which helps because I'm super physical. She likes hiking, outdoors, etc.

[Jeffrey]

All right, so you guys have some shared interests, obviously. Already.

[Peter]

Yeah. So then we went to, like, this really awesome taco spot. I had never went there, but tacos?

[Jeffrey]

I thought it was, like, some weird food you ate or something. Like, that's like, such a normal date meal.

[Brooke]

Unless it's like, ostrich tacos.

[Peter]

Yeah, yeah, I know. I think that's kind of, like, where it got weird. I think I might order, like, too much food. I never had been there. Right. So I wanted to order and, like, get to know her and talk and not have that be an issue. So I just kind of went ahead and ordered, like, a bunch of stuff.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Alexa]

You know, that can look like kind of a baller move to. To be like, you know what?

[Peter]

Right.

[Alexa]

We'll take one of everything.

[Peter]

Yeah, that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to set it up so then we could just talk.

[Alexa]

Yeah, she could eat, whatever.

[Jeffrey]

What came to your table?

[Peter]

I mean, like, what didn't come to the table? I ordered, like, menudos, ceviche, shrimp cocktails, burritos.

[Jeffrey]

Burritos is in plural.

[Brooke]

The thing about the Mexican places, though, is, like, they usually give enormous food sizes. Like, the burrito is the size of your arm.

[Jeffrey]

Was she laughing? Like, what's the reaction?

[Peter]

Yeah, yeah. It was like she thought it was kind of cute or whatever. And then I didn't want the food to go to waste, so I was like, hey, let's just stop on my place. I'll throw all this food in the refrigerator real quick, and then we can continue the date and hang out. And she thought that was funny, too. And, okay. The whole conversation on the ride back, it was super funny. Like, my whole car just smelled like a delivery.

[Brooke]

Like, you're like a grubhub driver.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he's like. So I haven't called her in two weeks, but I've been eating Mexican food literally every day.

[Brooke]

But it is kind of like a sneaky, smart move to get her back to your place.

[Peter]

I wasn't even trying, man. Like, and then once she came over, I mean, we just put the food in. I gave her a tour, showed her around.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Peter]

Made a joke about, like, this lazy boy that I had. I have, like, this weird chair, and I'm pretty sure it's haunted.

[Jeffrey]

A haunted chair? How? How is it haunted?

[Peter]

It, like, reclines by itself.

[Jeffrey]

That would scare me if I heard that noise across the ghost of an

[Brooke]

old grandpa sleeping in it.

[Peter]

I pretty much told her, like, it only really happens when I'm laying down in bed.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I bet. Not just in your room, in the bed.

[Peter]

So then I told her. I told her, hey, do you want to go into the bed and, like, see if we can hear it move?

[Brooke]

Oh, okay. And this wasn't a move either?

[Peter]

No, it's kind of a move.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Peter]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

It was smart. That was good. I would think that's really funny, and I would get in bed.

[Alexa]

Okay.

[Brooke]

You get in bed without a line. Okay. So she lays in the bed with you?

[Peter]

Yeah. So she lays in the bed, and then we kind of make out. I mean, she didn't Sleep over or anything.

[Jeffrey]

But did the ghost come?

[Brooke]

Did the chair creak?

[Peter]

I mean, to be honest, I wasn't even listening.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Alexis said, Jeff, nobody cares about the haunted chair.

[Bowen Yang]

I want to know if it's haunted.

[Brooke]

I know.

[Jeffrey]

It was a line to get her. Okay.

[Brooke]

Still, I could use closure.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Peter]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

All right.

[Brooke]

So you guys made out in the bed, but nothing more than that. And she left?

[Peter]

Yeah, she didn't stay over. I just gave her a ride back to her car.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, and have you talked to her since?

[Peter]

No, not at all. So hopefully it's not the bed incident.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, why are you calling a makeout session an incident?

[Peter]

Yeah, I don't know. Cause now you guys are making me think I was pulling some moves.

[Matt Rogers]

You know, you said you were, but

[Jeffrey]

she was obviously okay with it.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah, as long as you weren't like, oh, you can only hear the creaking sound if we take our pants off.

[Alexa]

You kiss me.

[Peter]

You can really hear a ghost though. Every time I'm laying, like, I swear it happens.

[Brooke]

Okay, all right. Are you trying to get us into your bed now? Because I'm not going to say no.

[Peter]

I don't think you guys can all sit.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, come on.

[Brooke]

What is it? A queen?

[Alexa]

I bet we could fit.

[Peter]

It's a king. You know what, Actually, you guys all should come over. It'll fit.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I do picture all of us laying there just waiting for the ghost,

[Brooke]

all splitting a burrito that he has on the back of his car. All right, now, now I'm actually really excited to call Emma for you.

[Jeffrey]

Multiple burritos, a haunted chair make out session. It sounds like a great night.

[Peter]

Oh yes.

[Brooke]

We're all in to get this done for second date update. We're going to come back and do it right after this.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Brooke]

One man, one woman, 30 bags of Mexican food, and a haunted lazy boy that helped our listener Peter get his date Emma to join him in bed. Cuz that's when the ghost in the chair tends to move around the most.

[Peter]

Apparently.

[Jeffrey]

That is a strange sentence that. I hope you heard the first part of this.

[Brooke]

But it worked. Got her in there. And the only movement that was detected was the two of their mouths making out. So why after all what? True story.

[Jeffrey]

Why do you make things so sexy?

[Brooke]

You're right. The question is, why after all of that, would Emma not be calling Peter back? That's what we're trying to figure out. Is there any chance the grandpa in the ghost chair jump souls into Emma's Body. And would that stop you from wanting to date her? Peter?

[Peter]

Hey, what's up, guys?

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Oh, Peter just joined the conversation.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Peter, I will say I think you're one of the chillest guys that we've had on this segment. Like, I can't really tell. Are you super stoked about Emma?

[Peter]

Yeah. I mean, like I said, I matched with her on the app, and she was into, like, physical activity, hiking, outdoors. I mean, I just want to know what's up. I mean, I made out with her in my bed, and then now I'm just not getting any response back.

[Jeffrey]

Like, you feel played?

[Peter]

Yeah, I feel used.

[Jeffrey]

That's right.

[Alexa]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Sounds fun to me. But if you're not into it. Okay, we'll do this for you. I'm going to dial Emma's number right now. Here we go.

[Emma]

Hello.

[Brooke]

Hey, Emma. This is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. How you doing?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Emma. Hi.

[Alexa]

Hey, good morning.

[Brooke]

Emma.

[Peter]

Wait.

[Emma]

Sorry. Who's this?

[Brooke]

Sorry, this is.

[Alexa]

Everyone go around the room.

[Matt Rogers]

Introduce yourself.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's a big radio show. It's called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. And we're reaching out to you about a segment we do called Second Date Update.

[Emma]

Okay.

[Brooke]

It's actually really fun. It's something where we try to help out listeners who've gone out on a date with somebody recently, but they're not getting a call back. We can reach out on their behalf to try and figure out if there's a reason why.

[Emma]

Weird.

[Brooke]

Yeah, definitely.

[Alexa]

We get to the bottom of things.

[Jeffrey]

Like, we learn, hey, sometimes you even want to go out with them again.

[Peter]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Figure it out.

[Brooke]

So we're doing that service today for one of our listeners named Peter.

[Emma]

I'm sorry. So Peter called you?

[Brooke]

Yeah, he asked us if we could get a hold of you because he feels like there should be a second date happening and it's not materializing.

[Jeffrey]

God. And his description of the night sounds like a really fun first date you

[Emma]

had with him, huh? I don't really know. I don't really know what to say.

[Brooke]

Well, we're just trying to get, like, what you thought about Peter. What was the vibe?

[Emma]

Well, he was attractive and fun.

[Peter]

All right.

[Jeffrey]

He told us about all the food at the Mexican spot.

[Emma]

Yeah, he over ordered.

[Alexa]

It's a good problem.

[Brooke]

And then he said some funny stuff happened and you ended up going back to his place.

[Emma]

Okay, so he did tell you that.

[Brooke]

Yeah, and we figured you wouldn't have done that if you weren't at least somewhat into him.

[Emma]

Yeah, his. His place Was another story.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

Now I will say he did mention the chair that might be haunted by the ghost of a grandparent.

[Emma]

Oh, no, that was funny. That was fine.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Jeffrey]

Is it like the state of his house? Do you mean he had no pillowcase guy? Yeah, because, like, the chill dudes that I know that love, like, rock climbing and stuff, they're not also into homemaking is maybe a good way to say it.

[Orderly Meds Advertiser]

I.

[Emma]

No, I. Like I said, he's. He's fun. Like, even though I had the ick, I made out with him.

[Jeffrey]

You had the ick?

[Emma]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Now you were making out with him.

[Jeffrey]

When did the ick come?

[Emma]

When we went to his bedroom.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Why?

[Emma]

He has a king bed.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexa]

That's a good thing, right?

[Peter]

No.

[Emma]

What single guy needs a king bed?

[Jeffrey]

Wait, what?

[Emma]

Ask yourself. Like, think about that.

[Jeffrey]

Wait. Oh, that's so nice though. I thought it was going to be no pillowcases like Alexa said. You're saying that his size of his bed gave you the ick?

[Emma]

So you're a single guy and you have a king size bed. You're on the apps. He only has that bed so he can be with. I don't know how many different women only players have king beds.

[Alexa]

All the ladies in his bed.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, you just don't want him on a futon and you don't want him in a twin size.

[Emma]

You definitely don't want those situations. But a queen is fine. A queen is plenty.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, There could be a billion jillion reasons why he has a king size mattress. It could be old relationship. They got it together.

[Emma]

No, now he says he hadn't been in a relationship for years. So it's not left over from a past girlfriend. It's just his.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Talking out of it and making all sorts of assumptions about this.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I hear you for sure. But I think it's only fair if you heard from Peter himself, because I do need to let you know he's on the other line listening and waiting to talk to you.

[Peter]

Hi, Emma.

[Emma]

Oh, my God.

[Peter]

So that's really why I. Call me back. You think that I'm sharing my bed with multiple women?

[Emma]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she said that.

[Peter]

That's pretty gnarly. But if you really want to know the truth, I used to sleep on, like, an air mattress I had to blow up all the time. And then me and my buddy found this king size mattress on the side. It was brand new.

[Alexa]

Wait, what?

[Emma]

Wait, what?

[Peter]

I loaded it up. You know, I hosed it down before I put it in the house. Pretty much brand new.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Emma]

Wait, where did you find it?

[Peter]

I mean, look, to be honest, you're the only person who's ever complained about it. Everybody else seems to enjoy it, and I really enjoy my space. It's better than sleeping on the air mattress.

[Emma]

Wait, no, no, no. Where did you just say you found it, though?

[Peter]

I got it off the side of the road, but there was nothing wrong with it. It was, like, brand new.

[Brooke]

Maybe it's like a dog in a way. He didn't find the mattress. The mattress found him.

[Jeffrey]

That's beautiful. No, not like that.

[Emma]

Oh, my God.

[Peter]

The mattress found me. I needed.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sure. Like, if you're worried about bedbugs, it sounds like he's had it for a while. He would have known by now if there was bed bugs, right?

[Peter]

You're not. You didn't get bit by any bedbugs when you laid on the bed?

[Emma]

Oh, my God, I hate this so much. No, I like, I feel like I have to go get tested now. Maybe some other girl will love your roadside king bed.

[Brooke]

Hold on, Emma. I just need to real quick ask the ladies in the room, is this an ick or is it something that you could get over?

[Jeffrey]

My mattress is from Brooke's friend, so mine probably has been.

[Brooke]

It probably is a roadside mattress. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And we do have a couple b is that we got out of a abandoned cabin that we sleep in at my family's house. So I'm gonna go with no.

[Brooke]

Okay. I'm asking the wrong people.

[Jeffrey]

Obviously, I was free, too.

[Brooke]

Brooke is standing up for the roadside recovered mattress that was hosed off.

[Peter]

Yeah, these are times of being frugal. We gotta watch where we spend our money.

[Brooke]

Frugal or frugal? Either one.

[Peter]

Frugal. Frugal. Tomato, tomato.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I would recommend some sort of mattress protector. Like one of those. Like, zip up.

[Peter]

No, I don't need none of that. I'll just take in the germs and let my body become immune to it.

[Jeffrey]

What? Yeah.

[Emma]

Why didn't you tell me? Let's lie down on this roadside mattress to hear the ghost chair creep.

[Peter]

I didn't even think I needed to tell you the story about the mattress to begin with.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I mean, the chair was enough of a story.

[Alexa]

Well, the chair is probably not haunted. He also found it on the side of the road.

[Brooke]

Oh, for sure.

[Alexa]

There's, like, a squirrel living.

[Jeffrey]

That's why it is haunted, though. Yeah. No way that you bought that chair.

[Peter]

It's not that nice.

[Brooke]

Yeah, remember, he's fergal. So, yeah, well, okay, so at this point, Emma, everybody in the room sees no problem with it. We don't know why you would.

[Jeffrey]

So I could see why she'd be upset. But, you know, you give it a little bit more thought, you're like, oh,

[Peter]

well, we can get an upgrade later. We can get a brand new mattress.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, now that he's talking in plural.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

He sees a future with you.

[Peter]

This is just one little thing, like a Matt to get in the way of us. We had such fun when we ate.

[Cal Penn]

Yeah.

[Alexa]

So you're willing to buy a new queen mattress?

[Brooke]

That's not what he said. They might find one washed up on the beach. It's a California king.

[Jeffrey]

Dude, that. That's pretty sterile with all that salt water.

[Peter]

That is.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Peter]

Well, you know, every time I'm paddle boarding, my eyes will be able to find it. So there we go.

[Brooke]

That's a man who's looking ahead to the future, Emma. So we would love to offer to send you out on another date with Peter. And we would even offer to pay for it if you'll say yes.

[Emma]

This got weirder and weirder every time Peter opened his mouth.

[Jeffrey]

So do it for the plot, Emma.

[Emma]

I'm gonna say no. Some other girl will love your king roadside mattress, but it's not me.

[Jeffrey]

Emma, your odds of getting another guy with a roadside mattress might be high.

[Brooke]

Peter, man, I'm sorry, dude.

[Peter]

I'll just get back on the apps, dude, and just run my king size mattress. I mean, nobody else really complains about it.

[Alexa]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Nice, right?

[Jeffrey]

You're gonna, like, put it as part of your bio?

[Peter]

I mean, at this point? Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah. I mean, plus, you have 25 uneaten chimichangas that you could split with whoever matches with you.

[Alexa]

You kind of live like a king.

[Jeffrey]

Emma missed out burritos for everybody.

[Peter]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Brooke]

got kind of off track there where Emma got the ick by just seeing the king size mattress and that was before we found out it was rescued from the side of a road.

[Jeffrey]

I think rescued is a good way to put it,

[Brooke]

but going back to her initial problem with it, does a king size mattress for a single guy put up red flags that he could possibly be a player.

[Alexa]

I'd never heard of that. But it in a loose way has some logic. No, I think in the loosest way

[Jeffrey]

I think it's only if you have like weird satin sheets on it or something, you know what I mean?

[Alexa]

Or it's a king size waterbed.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's definitely worse. But it is kind of true. Like even Jose said he's single with a queen and that is more than enough room. Yeah, like why as a single guy would you need to go bigger.

[Jeffrey]

It's strange because you even fly planes where you expect a king size bed to land.

[Alexa]

That's also true.

[Brooke]

So I don't know what's going on with Peter and that whole situation, but. But I'm sure we're going to be speaking with him again.

[Alexa]

I just hope it's not a memory foam bed because that's got bad memories.

[Brooke]

Oh, God.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he seems like he had a lot of happy visitors, so only had it for two weeks.

[Alexa]

Yes.

[Brooke]

So lot, lot more action to come. And if you want to have some happy visitors to your bed, maybe we can help facilitate that. No, that's not. That's not a bad thing to say. Forget that I said that.

[Alexa]

Go do a podcast from his bed.

[Jeffrey]

Don't worry, that was totally legal.

[Brooke]

Yeah, we'll just help you with your dating life. We'll call that person who isn't calling you back. Go check out. All of our second dates are up wherever you get your podcasts at.
