comments are definitely full. Hey, welcome to Brooke and Jeffrey in your second date podcast from yesterday's brand new second date update with the defensive driving drama.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah.

[Co-host/Commentator]

And we're just gonna review some of those real quickly.

[Brooke]

Alexis, dude, run. Run. Crazy lady. Red flag. Danger.

[Noah]

Oh my gosh.

[Brooke]

Red flag controlling Run. It will get worse. Red flag, red flag. Red flag. Red flag.

[Co-host/Commentator]

So people thought they were cute together. Yeah, that's basically what I gathered.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, hey, one person said, I mean, he said he wanted a little spicy and he got it.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Oh, yeah, he did. There we go. Yeah, like a whole habanero. Yeah, that was fun. So we love when you leave your comments and your feedback on the segments. It's so rad. And today we have a brand new one. Oh my God. It's one of our most popular second dates of the last year. The European dating couple.

[Brooke]

Yes. Speaking of comments, you guys were all up in them after this one.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah. Believe the update. Remember, we're going to play the original. And then in part three, after a quick commercial break. Sorry. In part three, we're going to get him back on the phone and what they have to say is truly shocking. So stay here. Stay here. It starts right now.

[Jeffrey]

It's hard to admit, but there's certain things that Europe just objectively does better than us.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Love Island. I feel that was quick, Alexis, just to name one.

[Jeffrey]

Also, soccer, nude beaches, laws that prevent you from marrying your cousin. Yeah, we're not quite willing to let that one go yet.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Unless you're in the royal family.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, then it's still chill. But when two of our listeners told us about European dating, we were all wondering, wait, is that really how it works there? And it led to quite the conversation. One of our most popular calls of the past year and that's why we're having them back on again, to give us a special update. Update. We're going to do it right after this.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, second date update.

[Jeffrey]

What are the classic signs that your date is not going well? Maybe they keep forgetting your name. Yeah, they ask the waiter for separate checks before you even order.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Oh, God, that would hurt. Ouch.

[Jeffrey]

Or they FaceTime their mom trying to hook you up with her instead.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Oh, what the heck? I mean, you'd kind of like that, wouldn't you?

[Brooke]

They might be upgrading.

[Noah]

Many mothers on dates.

[Jeffrey]

They like the show. Maybe it's not as bad as I thought, but our listener Noah said he saw clear signs immediately on his date that things were just not going right immediately.

[Co-host/Commentator]

That means she's not even giving you a chance.

[Jeffrey]

Let's hear from him. Noah, welcome to the show, man.

[Noah]

Hi. Hi. Thanks for having me on.

[Co-host/Commentator]

God, immediately. This is terrible.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I'm kidding.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So tell us about the name of this lady and how you met her.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah. So her name is Sophie, and we met on a dating app.

[Co-host/Commentator]

All right.

[Noah]

She's got these beautiful brown eyes, long dark hair.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Okay.

[Noah]

I mean, to be honest with you, I. I just felt like I was lucky that she matched with me.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Oh, that's a nice compliment. Yeah. For her.

[Jeffrey]

Kind of thick there. Okay.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Oh, wow.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Co-host/Commentator]

He likes her, Jesse.

[Noah]

You know, and we started, like, messaging really quickly, and I got the impression that she's, like, a worldly person.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Like, she travels a lot.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Like she's a traveler, you know?

[Co-host/Commentator]

And you like that about her, obviously.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, sure.

[Noah]

I mean, I. I admit I haven't really traveled much in my life, but I. I like that, you know, And I like somebody that knows stuff, and

[Co-host/Commentator]

maybe that's somebody that will travel.

[Noah]

Buddy.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah. Introduce it to you?

[Sophie]

Sure.

[Noah]

Yeah. I mean, it was. I was all about it, and. Well, eventually it got to the point where I was like, well, do you want to meet up in person? And she said, yeah. And she said she wanted to go on a European date.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Does that mean it? Dinner starts at 11pm yeah.

[Noah]

Kind of weird thing, right? Like, I didn't exactly know what that meant. And she mentioned Scandinavia or, like, the Nordic countries or something. And. Okay, let's go have some pickled fish.

[Brooke]

Oh, there's a Scandinavian coffee shop here that's really good.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Or maybe she wanted to go Dutch, meaning she wants to split it equally.

[Jeffrey]

That's an elaborate way, a worthy way of saying Dutch.

[Noah]

And I didn't want to, like, ask anything because I didn't want to seem, like, dumb, you know, I didn't want to seem like I didn't know what she was talking about. I just sort of pretended that I knew what she was talking about.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Wait, and you're going to have to plan a date without knowing what she wants.

[Noah]

I just rolled the dice, and I made a reservation at a couple of different places, and I just figured I'd let her pick.

[Jeffrey]

That's a good idea.

[Sophie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Noah]

So she wanted me to pick her up at her apartment, and she looked just like her pic. Good signs.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Okay, and then where does it go? Bad. Because you said it went. You got bad signs immediately.

[Noah]

Well, so this is where it started getting weird. So while I was at her place, I told her that I made some dinner reservations at European restaurants, and she said, I don't know if we should do that.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Noah]

So I said, well, like, what do you want to do? And she was just sort of non committal, you know, she said she was pretty tired.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Didn't that annoy you? I'm sorry, but, like, you went through all this trouble and she's being kind of rude about it in her house?

[Noah]

Well, it was less annoying and more just weird because she had confirmed a half hour before this, and she said that she was, like, ready to go to bed, like, the night's over.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Like Alexa said, you're inside her apartment and she's canceling the date and showed up?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Noah]

So I was starting to get worried that maybe I didn't look like my pictures or something.

[Jeffrey]

You're like, did I accidentally catfish this woman?

[Noah]

Right? I didn't think I misrepresented myself, but I. I just didn't know what was going on.

[Jeffrey]

Or maybe she has a certain standard of European restaurant that she wants to go to and the ones that you chose weren't up to that level.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Or maybe she was asking you to go to bed with her immediately.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke, that's just how Brook's brain works.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Maybe you were so sexy that you walked in and she's like, oh, I am tired.

[Noah]

Skip the dinner. Yeah, I would be lying if I said that thought didn't briefly pass through my head, but that was not the vibe I was getting at.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. So did you end up going out to eat anywhere?

[Noah]

No, I only spent, like, 15 minutes there at her apartment. And I've been texting her, but she hasn't been responding. And I really want to go out with her, but I figured, like, maybe I screwed up somehow and I just don't know. How?

[Jeffrey]

Well, obviously you did, but I just don't know what it was.

[Guest Voice]

I know they did.

[Co-host/Commentator]

It's hard to think that you should even give this girl any more time because of the way she treated you.

[Jeffrey]

But at the same time, it sounds like he wants to know what the reason was before he finally moves on.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Well, it also sounds like she's really hot, so he'll put up with a lot.

[Noah]

She's really hot.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, we're going to come back, we'll call Sophie and try to get her to agree to, I mean, at least an American date. All the fast food coupons she can handle. We'll do it right after this. Hold on.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, second date update. You're in the middle of a second date update update. And we're going to find out how the couple is doing right after you hear part two.

[Jeffrey]

Out of all the dates that we've heard about this year, this one might be the shortest. Just 15 minutes that Noah spent with Sophie.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah, and most of it was spent talking about how she didn't want to be in it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we're trying to figure out which European restaurant they should go to, if they go out at all. It wasn't a very productive conversation until eventually she just said, you know what? I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed. God.

[Noah]

And that was not even like, come with me.

[Jeffrey]

No, just like, I'm sleepy. That was basically it. Now, to be fair, Noah did say she is very hot. And hot girls do require more beauty sleep. So we should probably give her a little bit of grace on that one.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Is that how it works?

[Jeffrey]

So I've heard. She must be like a koala.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I will say I feel like I dropped a couple points since kids and it's not because of anything other than

[Guest Voice]

just the lack of sleep.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, just a couple points. Okay.

[Co-host/Commentator]

All right.

[Jeffrey]

I think Noah deserves to at least some answers out of this, right, Brooke?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah. I mean, I don't know that you should probably go out with her again, but what do I know? You're attracted.

[Brooke]

Hey, what if he did something wrong?

[Co-host/Commentator]

We don't know.

[Noah]

Well, that's the thing. I just want to know if I did do something wrong, what it was, and maybe she'll give me a second chance.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Okay, so. But remember, no matter how hot she is, self respect is priceless.

[Brooke]

Blah, blah, blah.

[Jeffrey]

Half of our listening audience just tuned out. So thank you for that comment, Brooke. Here we go. I'm going to dial Sophie. Hopefully we can get her to a agreed to if not a European date, just an American style one. But let's see what she has to say. Here we go.

[Sophie]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Sophie?

[Sophie]

Yes, this is she. Who's this?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, this is a radio show that you're on right now. It's called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Sophie]

What?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Glad to have you on it.

[Sophie]

This is random.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, every time.

[Noah]

It is random.

[Sophie]

How did you guys. How did you guys get my number?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we got your number from one of our listeners that you went on a date with recently. A guy named Noah.

[Sophie]

Okay.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I don't know if we could even say you went on a date, he came to your house to take you on a date.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Co-host/Commentator]

It just never seemed to happen.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Sophie]

What is this whole thing about? How am I involved in this?

[Jeffrey]

This is a segment called A second Date Update. It's where we try to help our listeners get answers for why things didn't go well on their first meetup or why there hasn't been a second one. So we're just trying to help Noah figure out if he did something wrong.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah. Because he's pretty easy to own that it could be him.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, and it is interesting that you said you were bummed out that you didn't spend more time together. Can you elaborate what you mean?

[Sophie]

Sure. Like, I tried to give him some hints about what I want for our first date, and I kind of told him I wanted to do a European style date.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. He mentioned that you had brought it up and that it was something you wanted to do. He wasn't 100% sure what you meant by a European date, though.

[Sophie]

So I tried to, like, give him more hints. Like, I brought up, like, Scandinavian date, Norwegian date. I, like, listed those three things and was hoping if he didn't know, maybe he'd Google it. Here's the deal. Like, after college, I traveled a lot.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah.

[Sophie]

And I became more used to that style of dating. Are you guys picking up what I'm putting down? Because he definitely did.

[Noah]

What's a European and style of dating?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah. What do you mean?

[Sophie]

So I know this is, like, on the radio. I don't want to be inappropriate, but when you go on a first date, you hang out at, like, their home or your home, and then you go out and eat.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Oh, you mean more than hang out?

[Sophie]

Yes. So, like, it's the opposite in America where you have to, like, play games and have small talk, try to impress each other. But in Norway, you, like, get together, get all the nerves out.

[Co-host/Commentator]

You test the chemistry right away.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So it's like a pre agreement, like, you come over, let's.

[Brooke]

Or is this because you were a tourist there seeing hot guys there, and this is how it went down?

[Co-host/Commentator]

The Norwegian men are like, no, we swear. This is how we do it here.

[Brooke]

This is what we do.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Everyone does it.

[Jeffrey]

You're saying that's what you were wanting to do by European date?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Oh, my God.

[Sophie]

Yeah. I mean, I thought he knew that's what I wanted, but he just didn't seem interested when he got there.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I don't know that. That did not show up on a Google search.

[Jeffrey]

I promise you, he was not understanding the hints that you were laying down for him. But I was ready for dinner. He really was a European style dinner. But now I assure you, he probably understands because he has been listening to this conversation on the other line waiting to talk to you.

[Sophie]

Are you joking?

[Jeffrey]

No, I'm on the way to your house right now. Why?

[Co-host/Commentator]

Are you embarrassed? Wouldn't you want him to know this?

[Sophie]

Not now. I feel horrible.

[Jeffrey]

Well, don't feel feel terrible. Just talk to him because Noah's there. Right. Noah.

[Noah]

Hi. Yeah, hi. Yeah, I'm here.

[Co-host/Commentator]

He's like, biggest missed opportunity of my life.

[Noah]

Well, hi, Sophie.

[Sophie]

Hi.

[Noah]

I'm trying to understand. You wanted to, like, you know, do the thing and then go to dinner.

[Co-host/Commentator]

His voice got so high.

[Sophie]

I tried. I really tried giving you the hints, but if you do it that way, the Norwegian way, then all that pent up tension is gone and you can really enjoy each other's company and get to know each other on the date.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Oh, I am going to be so fascinated by our Norwegian listener feedback on the podcast on this one.

[Jeffrey]

Actually. That does make a lot, lot of sense. If you get all the stress out early, then you can just be yourself more when you're hanging out.

[Co-host/Commentator]

You take that out of anyone.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I'm not saying I would do it, but mentally it makes sense to me. Like, you're more relaxed for your day.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I thought you guys would leave after that.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I'm tired. Noah, what do you think about that?

[Noah]

Well, I mean, I think it's cool. It's just kind of surprising. I mean, because I just had never heard that, you know, But I mean, sure, I'm down for that.

[Sophie]

Okay, well, that. That was then. The moment has kind of passed now.

[Co-host/Commentator]

You're not gonna give a guy a chance to learn the Norwegian way?

[Sophie]

I just don't know if he's as assertive as I want.

[Co-host/Commentator]

I mean, I think he was trying to be respectful. Right? Like, he was Trying.

[Sophie]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah. I didn't want to, like, assume anything. I, I, I just, I think you're gorgeous and I just really wanted to do my best to do the right thing. But if you want me to be assertive, I mean, I'm ready to take you to Norway whenever you want.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Can that be a new sling, please?

[Jeffrey]

That's the weirdest offer.

[Noah]

Sounds so bad.

[Sophie]

I will say, I do think it's kind of sweet that even though I didn't really explain it to you, you still got these radio people to contact me and figure it out, and I think that's kind of cool.

[Jeffrey]

Well, Sophie, now that Noah has heard everything and he's fully clued to what you were going for, would you be willing to give him another chance to have a proper European first date with you? Because if you do, we're willing to pay for the date. Just the date though, Nothing else.

[Noah]

Look, Sophie, I will do all the research on Norwegian style dating. I will call a Norwegian.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Is that like phone a friend all.

[Noah]

I will make sure that I am prepared and it'll be the best date you've ever had.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Oh, there's a promise.

[Sophie]

Okay, that's a lot to live up to. I'm definitely down to try again.

[Jeffrey]

Well, congratulations, Noah. You got yourself, I guess, a first date. First European style date for yourself.

[Noah]

Thank you guys. And Sophie, like before we get off here, like should I go on Amazon and buy like a Norwegian flag? Because I'll wear that and only that. If that's what you want, just let me know.

[Sophie]

That's hilarious. I'm open to surprises.

[Jeffrey]

All right, ready for a full salute of that flag?

[Co-host/Commentator]

That's right. Running right up the flagpole.

[Jeffrey]

Well, congratulations. Definitely let us know how the first date goes.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Not all the details though.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, just a video will do.

[Noah]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

People who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that. Nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

Yes, it did. From a lot of Norwegian listeners all over Europe.

[Jeffrey]

People were commenting, and look who we've got back on the line today for an update. Update. Sophie and Noah, welcome back to the show, you two.

[Sophie]

Hello.

[Jeffrey]

So good to hear from you guys. What's new? What's happened since you were last on with us?

[Sophie]

Oh, my gosh. It's kind of crazy because after being on your show, all my friends heard it, and they forwarded me a link to your podcast, and I did not realize how many people around the world listen to you guys.

[Brooke]

Oh, either.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I mean, it's mostly bots that we pay to have listened to us, but it's still kind of cool.

[Sophie]

Well, you guys have a huge following in Norway. I don't know if you know that. Yeah, they were all commenting on your podcast that my idea of a European date wasn't true, and I. I was skeptical.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Oh, you were still skeptical even after people in Norway told you?

[Noah]

I just have to say, I saw those comments, too, and. And I was like, I didn't think that was right.

[Jeffrey]

I didn't feel like it was a fake.

[Co-host/Commentator]

But let's be honest. You enjoyed the description.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I mean, why not?

[Sophie]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

But, Sophie, you were still skeptical that the Europeans didn't know what European dates were?

[Sophie]

Yeah, I was skeptical. So I actually reached out to some of them to ask about it, and one person actually invited me to go out to Norway to find out for myself, I bet.

[Co-host/Commentator]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Oh, yeah.

[Noah]

When she told me about Sven, she was all like, oh yeah, this really nice guy, he wants to like show me around Norway. And I'm like, obviously this guy's trying to hook up with you.
