Second Date Update: Funny Farm

up that says still single. I don't know, is that supposed to be funny or is it meant to make me sad and it makes me feel bad enough to go out. All I know is after that experience, I really feel for listeners like Steve, who emailed into the show today and said he was just happy that her profile seemed somewhat normal. You're not looking for a swamp girl to go to you with your swamp boy, No, not at all, Steve. You and me are singles at least we know, but asn't worked out with this girl.

We always have each other, always Burla wing opportunity maybe, but tell us about the woman that you matched with. What's her name? Her name? Jamie All right, Is there anything exceptional to say about her? Or was she just normal? She seemed very normal, super cute, and you know, I was raised on a farm, so she didn't necessarily look like a country girl. But she looked very sweet and innocently so I kind of went with it. She could still pick up a bail of hay. I mean, I'm

assuming that that's on your list. What do you do with a normal girl for a first date? Well, the date that I kind of pitched to her that she kind of agreed to was, you know, let's just have a date on my family's farm, and you know, I can show you what farm life is day to day. You know, does that mean that she's like meeting your family on the first date? Not necessarily. I mean it is the family farm, so we pretty much it's just family.

It works there. But you know, I just wanted her experience how I grew up and you know, my just kind of day to day living. So are you are you still working on the farm too? Yeah? Part time okay, And I imagine all the cute animals are also your family. A little pig, yeah, we had the whole nine yards. We got a cow's chicken, goat. I will get to mister Harvey in a little bit, but mister Harvey, yes, that is our goat. Okay, Oh, this is an interesting choice for a first day. Like what was her reaction

when you pitched this idea to her? Well, she seemed kind of excited about it. I mean, she didn't voice any concerns. I thought her. I was like, you know, I'll get you some overalls and some boots. Picked her up early in the morning. We drove out to the countryside, you know, and went to the farm and she got dressed and got to work. You know. Okay, that's like work. Yeah. I got to stop your for a second. I grew up, you know, surrounded by farm life in a tiny little town.

It's not glamorous. I mean, like to me, it sounds like you're shoveling manure. No. I did spare her the manure. You know. We picked the eggs for breakfast, and then we went out and we melt the cows. We did not use the milk for breakfast. But she was into it. She seemed kind of thrilled about it. You know, my family was off in the back. Okay, So you made it like an Instagram friendly event. You did all the cute fun stuff, you know, like a photo area stage

over by the mud bus. So I told her, you know, I was like, if you want to feed the pigs, it's super simple. It's not really all that mess. And she was down with it. But mister Harvey. That's where mister Harvey comes in because he kind of just roamed the farm. Yes, he's our pet goat. He's kind of like our guard dog. Instead of a blue chick hound, we have a we have a big goat. Yeah, he sometimes a little temperamental when it comes meeting new people.

Held just nibble on him. Look, did the same thing to me on my first day on the show. She just came up and started teared my clothes right off. I'm part goat. I could I could get behind that putting. That did that scare her? Well not at first. I mean at first I think it did, but it wasn't until he kind of started getting a little aggressive with it because I had turned my back for a minute and I turned back around and she was pretty much

almost on all fours just getting chewed up. Yeah, you're describing Brooks to a tea here, getting flashbacks of my own life. I mean, she did laugh about it, so I just I took it as just one of those things. I mean, if you've ever tried to milk a goat, you know how scary they can be. Small enclosed area. That sounds like a mostly brook experience at least. So I mean, how did how did the date end for you? There? Well, we had we had lunch with my parents and everybody.

I mean, I introduced her as my new friend, but I didn't want it. I wanted to kind of seem normal, like not too serious, like you're meeting our parents, my parents on the first date. Okay, okay, we agreed to the farm date. Do you bring a lot of women out to the farm to meet everybody? Or is this a new thing with now that's honestly, this is the

first time thing. I thought it'd be kind of cool to get out of the city, and so the launch went fine, and I told her said, you know, Nick, date, you pick city, whatever you want to do, we'll do it. And she hasn't returned to any of my ticks. Are you regretting the farm date idea since she hasn't writing you back? Or do you think it's something else I'm beginning to think it might have been a bad idea. Yeah,

I disagree. I think if she's a city girl, you bring it to the farsight, bringing someone to a zoo, you do something to see you don't work at the zoo, but you don't work though. He said, you made it wide and she just got to kind of hang around. I think maybe mister Harvey swooped in on your girl. He stole it from you. But we're gonna find out. We're gonna call Jamie here in just a second and get your second date update right after this. All right,

thank you? All right, hold on the second date. You know, old McDonald may have had a farm, but old mcstevo had a date. Oh yeah, yeah, yoh like this. And on his date there was a Jamie yeah yeah, yoh with a farm chore. Here in a farm chore. There, here's my mom, here's my dad, here's a go that's bad. That was good. But Steve did take Jamie to his family farm. And I think the overwhelming thought in studio right now is that Jamie probably didn't want to spend

the whole time doing farm work. I mean, it almost sounds like your family was using it as a ploy to get free labor. Yeah, I wouldn't say that. I thought she was having fun. Okay, okay, labor can be fun. She was having fun. This is like a one you know, life not lifetime, but it's like random thing. I mean, Josie, would you like to do that for a first date, Once in a a lifetime opportunity? The animals. It sounds like you want to go to a petting Yeah. Yeah, farm

almos sound like a heavy petting zoo. I'm gonna tell you do not want to drink fresh milk really makes me vomit every time. Yeah to p Yeah, that sounds kind of fun. But maybe we should start a business after this is over. But we have a job to do on the show, and that's to call Jamie and figure out why she's not calling Steve back. So Steve, you're ready to do this? Yeah, I'm ready. Let's do it right. Here we go. Farmhand, Jamie, farmhand, that's what

people who work on a farm. Yeah, okay, here we go. Hello. Hey is this Jamie? Yeah, hey Jamie. My name is jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Um, okay, we need some extra help around the radio station and we heard you are excellent. I'm sorry. What is this about? Yeah, that was strange. This is about a segment that we're doing called a second Date Update, and we're trying to help one of our listeners named Steve get back in touch with you after you went on a date. Oh yeah,

that was our big old side there, Jamie. Was that a good sigh or a bad sign? It's not a great sigh. I'll tell you that. Okay, we've already spoken to Steve about your first day with him, and we've heard his side of the story. We're interested in getting your side of the story, to know what you thought about him and his family farm. Well, first of all, he didn't say his family farm. Oh he didn't know. He said, hey, do you want to go to the farm for French? That's like, oh, I love that you

didn't know his family was going to be there. Wait, you love that place? Like the farm is in like some hit brunch spot. Yes, it's really hit. So I thought we were going to have French. We weren't going to an actual farm. Oh my god, Oh my god. He thought that you understood. He didn't think that you thought bottomless mimosas it was not clear in our conversation. I don't know if it was my father and his fault.

But as soon as we pulled to a farm, his farm, his parents are there opening the door, like rereading me. I'm like, what is happening? Well, to be fair, nothing is more hipster than going to the actual farm is slaughtered dude. I was not I was not against it, but I had a night the night before. I was a little hungover. I was expecting, you know, mimosa's an avocado toast. I was not expecting to be feeling hay

and snucking cows. She'll wait a minute, though, Like his parents opened the door, they hand you a set of coveralls, like why didn't you say something like that? You had no idea. Honestly, I was a little out of it, and I was like, you know what, just get through this. It's gonna be a story to tell. Plus that would be really rude to just get out of the car and his parents are like, hey, nice to meet you, and she'd be like, she didn't I didn't want to

be here. She wouldn't have to say that. She could say, oh my god, I had no idea. You meant a literal farm, like that doesn't look in front of the parents, but like, yeah, that's a lot of hours you spent with his family. It was a lot of hours. And I thought, you know, we got them eggs and them cows whatever. I thought, Okay, we had a nice breakfast. I was like, yeah, all right, that's good. That was it. But it kept going on and on, and I was like, oh my gosh, how do I get out of this.

I mean, okay, obviously it was a total shock. You didn't plan on any of it. But was there any moments between you and him that were fun? I mean, you know, there were some fun moments, like he was trying really hard, and I've been on a lot of days where that Wasn't it a case we heard mister Harvey really liked you. Yeah, he really liked me. And honestly, it started out like, oh, this is cute, and then it was like, oh my god, I'm going to be

eaten by a go well. I know, like, not only did mister Harvey like you, but Steve really liked you. And don't just take my word for it here from Steve himself. He's on the other line right now. I wants to talk to you Oh my gosh, you're joking, right, No, I'm serious. Hi, Jamie. UM, I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding. I assumed because the family farm and everything's on my profile that you just automatically knew that I meant my farm. I've never even heard of this brunch spot, you know.

I see, Um, yeah, you you know, and just start talking. You were like the farm, the farm. You never said my family's farm. So I think we had just a little bit of miscommunication. Yeah, just the dad. Yeah, I apologize for that. I'm so just so used to calling at the farm, you know. Um, Honestly, hearing you talk about it, it it doesn't seem like you had that good of a time as I thought you did. Well, you know, I was having as good at a time as I

could being hungover. I'm not expecting it. I was going to be in coveralls and like feeling, Hey, so your family is lovely, and I think you're lovely. We didn't have enough time to actually get to know each other, but it was just unexpected. So Steve, like, how is this sitting with you? Hearing her reaction to what her expectations were going to the farm, and then what it was actually like for her. Yeah, Jamie, it sounds like

you really had a lot to complain about. Um, you know, and I'm just I'm typically not into complainers because you know, I grew up on a farm, so we just kind of sucked it up and pushed through it and dealt with it and got what needed to be done done. Yeah. I was getting that same vibe when I was hearing her talk about it. The top three things that you enjoyed while you were there, top five? Then I'm not trying to fit into your family. This was like a

first date. So like I'm complaining because there wasn't clear communication. Sorry about that, but relationships are built on clear communication. So yeah, do you understand that, Steve, because it's like she's complaining your acting as if she worked on the farm and she's a bad employee, is what it sounds like. Yeah, Um,

that's not what I'm trying to sound like. To quote you, there was some miscommunication that I do apologize about that, Um, but that doesn't mean that we couldn't try something else because you did agree to possibly having a date in the city later on. Oh well, you know I did agree to that, But after hearing you say that I was complaining about a situation that I think, Oh, now you're going to complain about the way that well that was if I could interrupt, I mean that was clear communication.

I just communicated my feelings about the situation to you, and I think, honestly, you're not understanding in my shoes of what it would feel like to not be like aware and prepared for the situation that I was in. It sounds like he's understanding, and it's just he's being a little defensive of his own family. You know. It feels like you're getting he's getting the text. It sounds like a classic example of a guy giving a woman exactly what she asked for and getting blamed forgiving you

just apologizing, he's trying to communicate. He's saying, clearly it was bad communication, and then Jamie's like, no, you didn't do it the way I wanted. Well, he did kind of attack her for compaigning, and now he's getting it from the host of the show. I just think everybody needs to take a deep breath. I think this could work.

Starting with you would be great because I would like to send you two out on a nice second date where you have great communication there's no farm work needed to be done, just like Brooks still breathing over there on coveralls or whatever they're called. And I just connected that his name Steve and his goat is mister Hart. Yeah. Look, and there's not going to be any mister Harvey on the date, but there will be a little bit of nibbling going on. Are you going to send this to

the farm the brunch spot? Is what I mean. I would be up for that because I knew nothing about this, and apparently she was super excited to go there. And yeah, there you go, Jamie, take Steve to the farm and make him feel super uncomfortable because he doesn't know how it works. Well, you know what. The positive thing is that he did really go over and above. And there's very few dates that I have been on where someone actually cared enough. I mean, it was carrying a little

bit mess to me. His family so fast, but I guess i'd be open to it. Jay, you're open to it, Steve? What do you say? Um? Sounds great to me. And I apologize about my family. They're they're lovely. It was just so fast, against all odds, we got a successful second date. All right. Now, let's agree on a safe word up front. What do you want yours to be. I don't know how your guys a second dates work, but that's how it goes in my neighborhood. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
