Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and we've got your back-to-back classics today. And just a heads up, if you didn't hear Friday's full show, we are going to repost it tomorrow on Sunday as well. Yes, right here in this feed. It has Jeff's World Cup song in it. Yes!
I mean, we are broadcasting from a city that is a World Cup host, so it's really exciting for us to be part of that, you know, just... big international stage. Yeah, it's cool. It's wild. And it's so cool to see our city on TV. I don't know why I think that's so cool every time. We go like, there we are. We're famous. So happy World Cup. Yes.
I hope you're out there, you know, taking in some games. Some matches, sorry. I mean, yeah, bro. Come on. And speaking of international men, okay, Daniela commented. It said, me and my friends are holding a Drunk Olympics on July 18th. I feel like Alexis would be a great addition. All caps, there will be international men. Let me know if you'd like to join. I just appreciate how well you know me.
Thank you, Daniela. She does. She has your number, that's for sure. Dude, there's no way that she is going to get a medal. Oh, no. I'm not even making the podium for that. No, not at all. But I'll be a good sport. Don't worry. Totally. All right. Your back-to-back classics start right now. If someone gives you a present, no matter what it is, you're expected to show your appreciation. Of course.
However you see fit, you could say, oh, thank you. That's nice. You could talk about how much you've always wanted something like this. Oh, that's always the best. Or you can do what I do. What the heck? Jeff, that is not how you say thank you. You swap pants with them as a token of gratitude. You may not fit, though.
Yeah, but one of our listeners is worried that she messed up after her date brought a gift. And afterwards, she sent him one text that definitely could have been misread as being rude and ungrateful. Oh, no. Ouch. Time to unzip the pants. See, should have stuck with the old trouser trade-off. Why are your zippers so loud? Yeah, they are.
You're going to hear what happened coming up in your second date update. Next. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. Is it okay to bring a gift on a first date? Yeah, of course it is. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. My take, as long as it's, yes, small, thoughtful. And diamonds. Low pressure. Like a little quirky key chain with their name on it. Then why not?
What about like a small dog? Well, that's a lot of pressure. Okay, all right. Somewhere in the middle. You want to avoid something that's too expensive, nothing too over-the-top romantic, because the goal is to just be sweet, not serious. If you can link it to some inside joke you already have, it's even better. Yeah, absolutely.

Chapter 2: What is the listener's concern about a gift on a first date?
And our listener, Allison, mentioned a gift was involved in her first date recently. I don't know the parameters of it or what exactly happened, so let's talk to her about it. Allison, hey, thanks for joining us. Hi, thanks for having me. What did you get us as a gift? Well, I'm just saying, I thought that she was into gift giving.
Well, before we get to the gift, let's start with who's the guy we're calling and how did you meet him? Well, his name is Corey and I met him on a dating app. Okay. I'm so curious if you were the gift giver or receiver in this situation. I was actually the receiver. Oh, okay. It's weird that he would give a gift and be that excited about a date and then not be calling you back for another one.
Yeah, that's the thing. So it was kind of my idea. I told him that Oh, you asked for it. That really changes the day. Now it makes more sense to not call, like, while you're on the phone. It's good to have a woman who knows what she wants. How did he receive that? Did he laugh at first? I would think that someone was joking. Yeah, it was a little bit of a joke.
But also, on the other hand, it's also like, well, why shouldn't guys come with a little offering? You know, nothing big, nothing too crazy. Yeah, I think you're right. But naturally, like the guy should already show up with something tiny, not. I don't want to jump from guys. What did you want him to bring you? That's the thing. It's up to him.
Chapter 3: How does the listener's text message complicate the situation?
I think it'd be cute to kind of figure out, like, what is he going to bring to impress me? But I also told him nothing too serious. OK, so this is more fun. You're not going in with big expectations. You're just trying to see how his brain works and what type of item he's going to get for you. And get something out of it. Yes. OK, so what did he end up bringing for you?
A cinnamon roll scented candle. Oh, yes. Nothing says romance like Cinnabon at the mall. It smells a little like grandma, but it's safe, right? Yeah. Who doesn't love the smell of cinnamon? What was your reaction to that? I thought it was funny. I mean, throughout the entire date, I started calling him B-F-E. Big fragrance energy. Oh, he's got BFB. Oh, all right. Okay. I can't BFB. There you go.
Okay. You created an inside joke.
Chapter 4: Is it appropriate to bring a gift on a first date?
Honestly, it's pretty smart of the guy, too, because now anytime you smell cinnamon rolls, you're going to think of him. Oh. I did ask him, like, why he chose the cinnamon roll scent. Yeah, yeah. And he was like, oh, I imagined you smelling like this, which I thought was kind of cute. Interesting. Yeah. Could be worse. Could be worse. Do you work at a mall?
Is that maybe why you thought you'd smell like that? No, I don't. I just imagined it. I don't know why I imagined it. I think he probably couldn't come up with another reason, and he was just blurting out whatever came to his head. It's the closest one to the checkout aisle, basically, in this channel. Okay. Take us through the rest of the date.
I mean, we weren't only talking about candles, but he let me text him a candle recommendation list because I got into candles a couple years ago. Wait, could he have been insulted by that? Like, maybe... Like, the implication is, here's a bunch of other candles you should buy for me that aren't the flavor that you chose because you're wrong.
I mean, I think I would have been insulted if I gifted a candle and then I got sent back better options. Well, just anything. You give someone a ring and they're like, here's better rings. Yeah. I didn't think it offended him when it was like happening when I said it to him because we were laughing and stuff. Okay.
But then at the end of the date, I was open for a kiss because it was going so well. Yeah. But he just gave me a hug. Oh, and then I was like, OK, well, maybe he's still been a gentleman or something because I thought he was going to ask me in the next 48 hours to go out on the next date. But he didn't. Like maybe he actually was offended, like you guys are saying.
Did you tell him that he had to bring a present on the next day at any point? No, no, no, no. No, no, no. It was kind of like a one-time thing. Yeah. But with the list that you send, in his mind, it might be implied that he's expected to show up. Oh, my gosh. What if he's saving up for a candle? That's all. He's like, I just need $12. Candles are a lot more than $12. Really? Yeah.
He's trying to knock out multiple candles on your list. It could be a big problem. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. See? You overwhelmed him with wax. Yeah. You expected a date within 48 hours. That hasn't happened. How long has it been? Maybe a week. Okay. Okay. And you haven't heard anything. Nothing. And, you know, I'm not disappointed because I really do like him. And he's really freaking cute.
And I really thought we had something. And it's easy for you to reach out, too, and be like, oh, my God, look at my cute candle. Here's a picture of it in my house. You can only do that once. You can't keep updating it every time you use the candle. I had to blow it out for 10 minutes, but I'm back. Here's another picture. Don't blow a candle out that soon. Did you do that?
Have you texted him a picture using the candle? I did. I did. I mean, the first time, it makes sense, but then that was, like, awkwardly the last thing that was texted. Dude, it would be kind of funny if you took your candle with you everywhere you went and sent them updates. Like, here's the candle on the bus. Here's the candle at work. No, don't do that. This candle is my new best friend.

Chapter 5: What unusual gift did the listener receive on her date?
I'm just so confused. So many people. Yeah, a lot of people. Can I help you? What's going on? Well, this is a segment that we do. It's called Second Date Update. We're trying to help out one of our listeners who's asked us to reach out to you. A woman you went out with recently named Allison. Okay, yeah. Okay. Yeah. First impressions about Allison? Um... She's an interesting girl.
She's definitely a quirky person. Interesting and quirky are good things, right?
Chapter 6: What was the listener's reaction to the gift?
Not always. Okay. We know that something must be up because you have not reached out to Allison trying to arrange a second date, and she just is a little confused about why it hasn't happened. Yeah, I think she's just a little odd. Allison's odd. Yeah, she's a little odd. She had asked for me to bring her a gift to our first date.
Yeah, I mean, she told us about that, and actually she said she really appreciated the gift that you got her. Yeah. Oh, she did? Yeah. The cinnamon roll candle? Correct, yes. Okay, is that the reason? Well, no, so she, I don't know if she told you, but she actually, in fact, got me two gifts. Wait, she brought you something? She didn't mention that at all? Wow.
To be honest, she kind of surprised me because I thought I was really the only one who was going to be bringing the gift. But I love that. She set him up like, can we give me a gift to test him? And then she had a gift too. Yeah, that's really cute. So it wasn't as like testy. Guys don't get gifts very often. Yeah, unless you're a romantic. It seems like that would make you feel special. Right.
Why are you framing it as a bad thing? Well, it wasn't so much like the idea of the gift. It was the gift that she brought that made me feel a bit uneasy. Uneasy? Uh-oh. Oh, I am so curious as to what she brought you. Like, not the right stuffed animal? Hopefully it's not her baby teeth that she's been saving for the right guy. That would be uneasy. Or a stuffed animal with her baby teeth in it.
If it was a necklace, that'd be cute. What was the gift? So the first one, it was a rock that she found on the sidewalk that morning. Oh. A rock? No, that could be kind of funny. Like, is it shaped like a heart or something, you know? No, just a rock. Oh. And I just felt weird taking it because she said it was her lucky rock, and she had given it to me. Like, it has no meaning to me. Yeah.
Yeah, but at that point. She just found it. It can't be that lucky. You know, it's not like it's. It was lucky for that day. Yeah. Yeah, you ought to go buy a lottery ticket. Okay. So a rock that she found this morning, what was gift number two? The second gift she handed me was like a homemade coupon book. I don't know, have you seen one of those? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, this is good for one back rub. This is good for... I'll do the dishes. They're usually sexy things. Yeah. Well, they're usually things in relationships. Is that what it was? One coupon was for one good existential conversation. Ha ha ha! That's really funny. Another one was about a midnight call where we'd talk about aliens. Oh. Aliens specifically. You can't talk about those at lunchtime.
It's only a midnight conversation type of thing. The other one was one deep discussion about the meaning of socks in society. Socks? Like on your feet? It had to have been a joke. I mean, that sounds funny. They all sound funny. Also kind of romantic. Do you know, was it a joke? I mean, she's a bit woo-woo, so it seems like probably on brand for her. Oh. I just kind of, like, killed the mood. Oh.
Oh, okay. Maybe the socks doesn't turn him on, Jeff, like it does you. Well, I know how to bring the mood right back up, and that's by letting you know that Allison is on the other line right now, listening, waiting to talk to you about alien conspiracy theories. So go ahead, Allison. What? Hey, Corey. Allison, what are you doing? I really thought the date went great, honestly.
