Second data date. You know. Recently, I was on a dating app okay, trying to find matches for Josey, and honestly, it was really difficult. Not because of what jose wants, you know, because he'll go out with pretty much anything. I'm just saying that as a single person, it's got to be hard because the appis field was so many odd people, like with photos wearing tons of makeup and filters, or someone that's standing alone in a swamp holding a

sign 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 make 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. Okay, tell us about the woman that you matched with. What's her name? Her name is 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? Uh? 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. I mean it is the family farm, so we pretty much it's just family that works there. But you know, I just wanted to 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 with cute animals, are also your family a little pig? Yeah? We in the whole nine yards. We got a cow, chickens, goat. I will get to mister Harvey in a little bit, but yeah, mister Harvey, yes that is our goat. Okay. This is an interesting choice for a first date, Like, what was her reaction when you pitched this idea too? 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 work. Yeah, I got to stop your first 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 milked the cows. We did not use the milk for breakfast. But 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 dogstead of a blue chick hound. We have a we have a big goat. Yeah, he sometimes a little temperamental when it comes to meeting new people. Held him, just nibble on him. Brook did the same thing to me on my first day on the show. She just came up and starting tearing my clothes right off. I'm part goat. I could I could get behind that.

Did that scare her? Well? And 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 Brook to a tea here, getting flashbacks of my own life. 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. Oh, I mean I introduced her as my new friend, but I didn't want it. I wanted to do a kind of thing 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 lunch went fine, and I told her said, you know, next 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, if I disagree. I think if she's a city girl, you bring it to the farance like bringing someone to a zoo. You do something to do. You don't have the world work at the zoom, but you don't work though. He said, you made it light 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 then second you're in the middle of a second date update update. We're gonna find out how the couple is doing right after you here part two. You know, old McDonald may have had a farm, but old mcstevo had a date. Oh yeah, yeah, yoh, like 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 goat. That's bad. Oh 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, She was having fun. This is like a one you know,

life not lifetime, but it's like random thing. I mean, jose would you like to do that for a first date unch of a lifetime opportunity. As it sounds, I don't want to go to a petting Yeah yeah, farm almost sounds like a heavy petting zoo. I'm gonna tell you do not want to drink fresh milk really makes me vomit every time. Yeah, 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 to do it. Here we go. Farmhand, Jamie, farmhand, that's what people who work on a farm. 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. Okay, yeah, that was our big old side there, Jamie. I've already spoken to Steve about your first date 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. He didn't know. He said, Hey, do you want to go to the farm for French? That's like, oh, I love that. I 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, oh my god. He thought that, you understood. He didn't

think that. You thought bottomless mimosas. I was not. I was not against it, but I had a night the night before. I was a little hungover. I was not expecting to be feeling hey and smucking cows. She'll wait a minute, though, Like his parents opened the door and 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 good in front of the parish. But like, right, 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 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. No, 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 a tad. 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. And 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, right,

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, 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 put 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. So why don't say 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. So yeah, do you understand that, Steve, because it's like she's complaining your acting as if she works 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 the 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 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 then getting blamed for giving you

apologizing trying to communicate. Well, he did kind of attack her for complaining, 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 Brooke still breathing over there, hold

on whatever they're called. 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. Okay, okay, j 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. Ye see,

this is 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. Well, it's been months since we had them on for that second date, and today at least one of them is back on the phone to give us an update on what happened. I think we just have Jamie, Jamie, how's

it going? Hey, guys, it's going well? Okay, that's shocking. I really didn't think it was going to be you on the phone. Oh really, yeah, I thought it was going to be him for some reason. Oh he couldn't make it. He had a meeting. He wishes he could be here. But oh wait, you're still talking. Oh yeah, or you stock him and you know his schedule. So wait after your call, you guys did go out on another date. We actually did go out on a second date. I took him to the actual French spot far How

was that? Was he impressed? I mean, there was a little touching go in the beginning because it was a little awkward, it sort of softened pretty quick and then, um, about thirty minutes after he ate, unfortunately, he got sick, like food poisoning sick. Yes, he got the poisoning sick. That's really awkward. Of course that would happen the one time you bring him to the brunch spots down with something. But it was actually pretty bonding because he went home.

I took care of him and then like you know, for the next few days just checked in on him, and it actually brought us together. So wait, so you guys are still dating. Yeah, we're like exclusive. Have you been out on the actual farm working again? Then, now that you're the girlfriend part of the family, Well no, I mean we we've met, we with this family, we've gone out to dinner, but we didn't go to the farm. We're basically we're staying away from all things with the farms,

anything farm related. Were staying away. Yeah, who learned your lesson? I see, that's great for you guys. Yeah, we're really happy. I'm really grateful that you guys were like a second date because after the first one, we did work, just not on the same page. And so now it's it's great times, you see it, A second chance. Yeah, you make out your check five hundred dollars to Jeffreys and I will humbly accept your Okay, No, seriously, we're all happy for you, Jamie. And and tell Steve what's up.

I will, I will. He's back to normal, just so you know, Okay, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
