Hey, it's Briggan Jeffery and you've got a brand new second date episode today with a return player. Yeah, we can call it. Usually we'd say a fan favorite, but I don't know after the end of this one. I know, I know, it's a lot. You'll hear it here in just a second, but we love to start with your comments because it means a world to us. You take the energy to write us. Yeah, we read it. And Keeler's world took the time to write a sassy little comment here. OMG, Teehee, my name is Blah Blah and I'm from the underworld. I listen to your show all the time in the depths of hell while I torture sinful souls. Hey, listen to you 10 times through now and on my 11th run OMG, standard red comment. Come on, Alexis, I need some substance. I listen to the show on the daily and I want that comment Tee from the last episode, not some shout out to Joe Schmo over in Indiana. Okay, look at we got people all over the world and underneath the world. There you go. Thank you to the underworld for tuning in. I will try to up my comment game. Yes, there it is. There are no space consequences that you don't want to. Seriously, I'm kind of scared. All right, hey, here you go. Your brand new second date starts right now. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning second date update. Two years ago on this very show, one man made an astounding discovery. Really? That man's name is Rez and the last time he appeared on this very segment, Rez did not know what a cantaloupe was. Oh, I remember! So many listeners commented too that they didn't know from other countries. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he knew it was some kind of fruit, but he'd never really learned that name before and unfortunately, or fortunately for us, it was exposed right here. Well, yeah. For everyone's entertainment. Because the thing is, is like out of the country people didn't know that, but he's from the US. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He probably shouldn't know that. But it did cost him a chance at love that day. Good news is this is a new day and a new opportunity to find romance. A new fruit? I'm gonna say a new ripe melon is what I'm gonna say. Let's go Jeff. With that healthy, fresh, optimistic outlook, let's welcome Rez back to the show. How you doing there? Yeah! Hey guys. What up Rez? Dude, what was it like after you became the cantaloupe guy on our show? I mean, a whole new world of possibilities open for me. I found out what a honeydew was. Oh, okay. Yeah, a honeydew. I figured that you never heard the end of it from all friends and family, but... I figured Dole hit you up. You have an endorsement now. You know what? Maybe we should give them a call together. Alright, well work on that after this, but first, apparently there's a new woman in your life. Tell us about her. Yes, well, we met Michelle through a friend at a party. Okay. And I'm not normally like this, but I got there last minute and I didn't realize everyone had brought gifts. And I like to be hospitable and whatnot. And so I was just like searching for the closest answer to my problem. And the girl I was standing next to happened to be Michelle. I didn't know her at the time, but I was just like, Hey, you want to go half on this gift with me? And she just like said, okay. Wait, on the gift she was holding in her hands. Yeah. I love when friends let me do that with them. I'm like, he was throwing my name on it. So did you humorous to just be like, Hey, stranger. Yeah. Like that's really funny. Did you Venmo her half the cost? Well, the thing was I was just like, I'll take you out for a nice dinner instead. How's that? That's very smooth. That's funny. This girl, she passes the res cuteness scale. Anything above seven on a weeknight wins. She was getting on a weeknight. Oh, wow. On the weeknight part. Okay. The higher or lower on the weekend. It's probably lower on the weekends. Okay. Exactly. So she, she went out with you then. She did. Just to get back the payment of having given up half of her gift. She was basically forced to, but yeah. Whatever works guys, whatever works. Tell us about that. So we met up at a restaurant and we decided to share each other's food. Like modern people at a modern restaurant. There you go. Shareable place. She was on board of this was you again, asking for. Yeah. Everything. Yeah. To be fair and clear, we were both kind of looking at each other's food. So this one was mutual. That's common at restaurants too. Yeah. Did I force my husband to do it everywhere? Tell him you're getting this. I'm like, God, I want both of those things. So you're just ordering two meals for you, Brooke. What was the connection with Michelle like? The connection was really good. We were having great conversation. We were laughing. You know, we were talking about the party and the people we met and she was giving me the gossip about the people she knew. Hey. And everything was like really good, but I don't know the waiter. She was kind of giving me this look. What do you mean? She's like, we can get like flirting with me. She's like, adding her eyelashes at me. Wait, the waitress was flirting with you, you think? Yeah. And paying like a lot of attention to me. I want to know the percent of men it works out for when they think the waiter's flirting with them. Yeah. It is true. You think that it may not have been the case? They always think it. Did your date pick up on that? No, but I was just like, hey, is this lady, is this lady hitting on me or what? Oh, you said it to her. Yeah, I don't know. And what was Michelle's response? She didn't really have the shoes. Like, oh, I guess maybe. So it's kind of like Alexis's response. Yeah. Let's go to the end of the night. How did you leave things with Michelle? It was good. You know, at the end of the night, I thought we could split an Uber ride home. Oh, split the Uber too. Love sharing. Wow. All right. Did you? Well, no, because like, and also like, I was not asking to go to her place. I was just saying you want to like hit your place then mine. Oh, but it sounds like when you say that, it sounds like you're inviting yourself over to me. Insinuates. Or at least like trying to figure out where she lives. Oh, that too. Yeah, you just came in on. We'll drop you off first. That's a good one. Then it'll take me home. Maybe that's what happened. I don't know. Because she was just like, no, she had to take her own and didn't really explain. And that's OK. And that was like a week ago. She may have read like the waitress comment as a red flag. And then maybe she read your question wrong at the end too. Yeah, I don't know. I thought I was pretty upfront and clear about things. Yeah, but that may be the problem. It's like, hey, I think the waitress is hitting on me. Let's get an Uber home. Like it could be a forward guy. Even though that's not what your intention. Right. Clear communications. Pretty sick. Yeah. Yeah. And you're so sick at communicating. That's true, bro. So we're going to communicate on your behalf to Michelle real quick though. I'm curious the waitress on the res cuteness scale. Where does she land? Why would that matter? Are you looking for a backup plan already for him? I'm just saying it could play into like how intimidating it was. If he rejected a 10, it's a big deal. She was intimidating. Well, it's tough to say because it ended up being on a weekend. Oh, that affects the ratings. So really like on the weekend, anything goes. Oh, no. So it doesn't matter. There's no scale on the weekend. She's a numberless. All right. Yeah, she's a letter. Well, are you regretting your question now? No, he's a great communicator. Like he said, so. Just make sure to not go out on the weekends with res. Exactly. Or do. Yeah. We'll offer a weekday date with Michelle when we get her on the line for your second date update right after this. Hold on, man. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning and we have a special guest back on with us today. His name is Rez and he's done second dates with us before actually. Yeah. This time though, he met a woman named Michelle who isn't calling him back. Met her at a friend's party, took her out to dinner where apparently he was getting eyed by the waitress. No, that's what he thought. The waitress never actually made a move. Yeah. Still, him and Michelle had good conversation over dinner, but she did refuse to split an Uber with him at the end of the night, which is not a good sign. So it's been a week since they spoke and he's here today searching for some much needed answers. Rez, how you feeling, bro? Pretty good. Pretty good. Okay. I think things will work out for Rez. They always do. Nice. We're doing third person. Yep. Do you think it's just as simple as understanding or what's your theory? It's got to be or maybe she's just, you know, maybe Ted insecure about the waitress thing, but hopefully we can settle her nerves there and I'll take her out again and it'll be okay. Ah, it's a favor you'll do for her. Yeah, it'll be the best way this goes down. We get her on the phone and she's like, we had the most beautiful waitress in the world and I was just so jealous. She was so into him. Oh my God. Oh my God. I could never compete with her, so I'm not calling him back because I'm not good enough. Oh, that's totally going to happen. That sounds right, right, Rez? Yeah. I mean, it doesn't sound wrong. Okay. I like it. Of course you do. We all know who he's talking about. We are a flirty bunch. We're going to be any of us anyway. Let's call Michelle and we'll see if she picks up and has some answers for us. Here we go. I'm going to dial her number. Hello. Hey, Michelle, this is Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. How you doing? Hey, Michelle. Hey, good morning. I'm sorry. Who? Hey, yeah, we are Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, a radio show and we're doing a segment right now. It's called a second date update. Um, what? Wait, why are you guys calling me? This is, uh, oh, I already said what it is. Uh, we're calling you. We're calling you because one of our listeners asked us to reach out to you. And we promise we've done literally thousands of these. That's why everything starts to blend together. Yeah. I remember this guy. His name's Rez. Oh, okay. Yeah. No, I know. I know who you're talking about. Yeah. You met him at a party through friends and you took him out to dinner. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Your tone definitely changed during. Yeah. It sounds like you absolutely adore this guy. Am I reading that right? Um, totally. Love him. Oh, man. Sarcastic like me. I like that. We do want to know what was your impression of Rez? Like just in general at the party or, I mean, I think, I guess we can just like cut to the restaurant part. He took me out to dinner because we like split this gift, which was like also kind of weird that he was like, let's just split the gift. Right. The gift that you bought for the party. Yeah. But you thought, I mean, I would assume you thought that was funny or cute way to set up a date. Yeah. I mean, I thought he was cute. So I was like, sure, let's do it. Okay. We went up to the restaurant and I was like, you want to get the crispy chicken sandwich. Immediately he was like, oh, good. We can split it. Oh, yeah. Were you excited about that? Because that's kind of a couple's thing. Yeah. I mean, sure, that's fine. Like I'm down to split things, but then he was saying that he wanted to get the salmon. And I mean, I don't really like fish. So I was like, well, I can't really split the salmon because I don't really like salmon. And then he was like, oh, well, that's fine. I'll just eat it myself. What? What? He made it sound like you guys split the salmon and the sandwich. I was like, that's weird, but he's going to eat half my meal and then also all of his meal. But then the waitress came over to take our order and he wanted to get the crispy chicken, but can you get the skin off of it? What? That's the crispy part of the crispy chicken. Yeah. And then like the waitress is super confused and is like, you mean the crispy part. And he's just like, yeah, like that's a normal thing. But then he still made the waitress go back and was like, can you just like ask the chef if he could do a half crispy, half skinless chicken sandwich? Half? That was so extra. That is so extra, dude. Oh my God. Is this when the waiter started flirting? Yeah. Oh, that's right. We did hear that. According to Rez, the waitress was being a little bit flirtatious with him. Oh my God. No, she was definitely not flirting with him. She was giving him attention because she was like, this dude is so annoying. Yeah. Uh-oh. Sounds all right. If you had taken the food issues out of your date, do you think you would have liked him? I mean, no. Oh. Like that's a whole weird thing. And then at the end of the date, the dessert menu comes and I'm still hungry because he ate half of my meal and he like waved the waitress off and is like, no, like let's not have dessert. It's going to make us fat. Did he say that? Yes, he literally said that. Oh. If we knew that, we wouldn't even call. I could never be in a relationship with someone who waved dessert off. I'm very old. Even if he does have both of your health and your best interests, it's like absolutely not. Doesn't matter. No. Isn't that the goal to get fat together? Yes. Thank you. Happy and plump. Let's go. Okay. I think we're seeing at least some of the issues that you had with Rez during this night. Whoa. I wonder if he's seeing them. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'd ask that voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice voice I'm here. Coming in awful chipper after what she just said about you. I will, you know, I'm a little flabbergasted really to be honest. What are you flabbergasted about? That is wild that you have me on the radio talking about how you wanted half crispy, half skinless chicken. Like what? And also like I to be fair, I didn't bring that up. You did. What? What do you mean? She right? She brought it up as a problem. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, exactly. Like I didn't bring that up on the radio. It's not a big deal to me. She you Michelle brought it up. Because it's not a deal to you. It's your preference. You didn't share a meal with her. You ate half of hers. That was a big difference. And you tried to custom order it for yourself. I mean, she absolutely could have had half or more than half of my salmon, but she chose the half of her. Half of my salmon, but she chose to not have any. I had the personal problem. That's a fair point. Did you consider asking for half salmon, half steak to customize his order? That's crazy. So your half could have been milk and his half could have been fish. The way you share a meal is you both decide on two plates that you each want to try. According to you. Exactly. Well, I mean, we're trying to watch our figures here, you know. We did we four, bro. I care about you, Michelle. Oh, watching her weight. You ate a meal and a half. So she wouldn't have to. Yeah, what's that? It's a courteous move. Yeah, I mean, I physiologically, I burn more calories. More calories. It's there. Hard to argue. And you know what to be fair to me really, because this is all sounding very unfair. I couldn't feel the crispiness off of your side of the chicken, but I didn't. What a gentleman. Wow. Reach over and touch her sandwich. He's about to eat. Yes, to save the calories of the skin. Exactly. Absolutely not. No, I don't know where your hands have been. You're so weird. Yeah, this is not a good look for you, my man. I mean, the proof is in the pudding guys. Devils in the details. What? That doesn't apply here. Michelle, is this whole thing the reason why you wouldn't split the Uber with Res home? Oh yeah, I bet. 100%. Yeah. All the evidence out there. It's also the whole reason she's not calling him back. You know, you would have been like, drop me off first and have her pay for it. Have her walk for our help. He would have done that. That's so considerate. Really. So at this point, I would love to offer to send the two of you out on another date, and you don't have to split anything. We will fully pay for the entire experience. You guys, like, I can't. You can't, or you don't want to. I feel like I can. Sorry, Res. Sad for you, Michelle. Sad for me. We both lose now. Oh, okay. Yeah, no wins here. You always have that waitress that was eyeing you at the restaurant, Res, you can go back there. Try again. This is true. This is true. That poor waitress do not encourage that job. No, we're not in there. Broke in Jeffrey in the morning. No gloss, no filter, just stories, spoken without fear. Addiction is a disease, and it should be looked upon as any other disease. How did you cope with a reckless father like me? Join me, Pooja Bhatt, as I sit down every week with directors, actors, musicians, technicians, and beyond. You don't need to work with the biggest people and the biggest sound to have great music. I have gone through this sub-CD, Hachakar. Reached the pinnacle, stung by the snake, and I've fallen down again. Yeah, I am not writing actively anymore, and when I see my old work, it kind of saddens me. I'm only as good as the last shot that I gave. Mom's gone, but don't shut the theater. The show must go on. Listen to my weekly podcast, the Pooja Bhatt show, on the iHeart Radio app. Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Come for the honesty, stay for the fire. Alright, well after that one, we might have to downgrade Rev from friend of the show to mild acquaintance of the show. Yeah, yeah. I feel somehow still too close for me. Yeah, can't control it. Can't really agree with his dating dinner strategy in any form. No, none of it. I'm sorry, any man who does not like dessert is off. Yes, so red black. Off my luck. Definitely for Brooke. But what if somehow he starts a new food revolution, and he invents half healthy sandwiches, where one half is breaded and fried and loaded with mayo's and cheese, the other half plain, skinless, totally healthy and full. You know what though? My husband would love that. To split or just to eat himself? No, he would just eat the non breaded, nasty side. I'd eat the good stuff. Look for him at Trader Joe's half healthy sandwiches from Rez. It's like half deep fried, half cauliflower buns. Half sandwich with flavor. But we've got a full show with plenty of flavor. You can go find it up online wherever you get your podcasts. All of our second dates are there. It will raise your cholesterol. For sure. It's at Brooke and Jeffrey. No gloss, no filter. Just stories. Spoken without fear. A person who is not generous cannot be an artist. The world will be at peace only when it is ruled by poets and philosophers.
