Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Episode: #2 Second Date Update of 2025: Flirt and Observe
Date: December 31, 2025
Hosts: Brooke and Jeffrey
Guest: Stacy
Subject: Why Stacy got ghosted by Tyler after their “chance” encounter and workout—and the truth behind their meeting.

---

Episode Overview

This Second Date Update starts with a classic “meet-cute”—two strangers sharing the last chair in a crowded coffee shop, bonding over a book, and then attending a workout class together. Stacy, convinced she’d had a serendipitous romantic encounter with Tyler, turns to Brooke and Jeffrey to find out why, after enthusiastic texting, Tyler suddenly went silent. What unfolds is an unraveling not only of Tyler’s hesitation, but Stacy’s real-life “research” (i.e., stalking) to orchestrate their accidental meeting.

We are officially at number two second best second date.

[Jeffrey]

Is this the best one, then?

[Brooke]

I mean, that's a good point.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it feels like it should be. Like it should be honorable. But your number two second date, you can tell how attractive you are by how close strangers are willing to get to you. That's a good barometer. Yeah. Meet someone for the first time and they're holding onto your hand.

[Brooke]

Why is everyone always on the other side of the elevator?

[Jeffrey]

Don't tell her. Don't tell her the reason. And one of our listeners says she experienced an intimate moment with a guy that she'd never met before when they were in a crowded coffee shop at the same time. And it was definitely more than just some flirty eye contact.

[Brooke]

What is it?

[Jeffrey]

I won't tell you. You gotta listen. You have to hear it in your number two second date update. Right now. Second date update. Everybody always says, gosh, I wish I could meet someone in real life.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

But really, do you actually want that?

[Brooke]

Why wouldn't you?

[Jeffrey]

Not really. It sounds so scary. There's no block button in real life.

[Brooke]

That's a good point. You can't Google search them while they're standing right in front of you. You can't work with your friends to send a message.

[Jeffrey]

Y. Yeah. Or forward the rest of your conversation to voicemail. You're out there on an island all by yourself. That would be awesome if your friends were in the other room, though.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. You're like, what did you just say? Hold on, I'll be right back. Yeah, you could ask Siri for, like, a flirty compliment to give to them, but it is kind of awkward when they're sitting right in front of you. So nobody knows that better. Like our listener, Stacy, who, according to her email, says she met a guy out in the real world.

[Brooke]

Was it frightening, Stacy? Were you so scared?

[Stacy]

No.

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Stacy]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Well, thanks for being on the show with us today, Stacy. Tell us about this guy you met.

[Stacy]

Well, basically, I was going to get a coffee, and it was full and there was only one chair open.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Stacy]

When I went to sit in the chair. I mean, this sounds like cliche. Like I'm making it up. But it really happened. Like, this guy went at the same.

[Brooke]

Time, and he was a hot guy, huh?

[Stacy]

Very hot. I thought my prayers had been answered. I thought the universe heard me, because I couldn't believe it. We were both, like, literally. We decided to share the chair. He was that cool. We were sitting.

[Brooke]

You did sit on his lap then. Is that what you're saying now?

[Stacy]

We shared the chair next to each. Hips next to each other.

[Jeffrey]

Two butts, one chair. I've seen that video. Yeah. Okay.

[Stacy]

Cheek to cheek.

[Brooke]

Did you discuss it, or was this a silent agreement? Like, how did you introduce yourself?

[Stacy]

Well, I don't know how it happened. It just was so natural. We started talking, and then I just honestly wanted to read my book. So I just pulled out my book, Catcher in the Rye. And then he turned to me and he said, I read that book. I love it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I feel like we all read that in high school. Yeah, it was required reading. Like, you had to do it in order to pass.

[Stacy]

Really?

[Brooke]

I read it for fun and on my own.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, really?

[Brooke]

I don't think I read that one.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, we had to. It explains a lot about Brooke. Yeah. By the way, did you catch his name at any point during this conversation? Conversation?

[Stacy]

Yes, his name was Tyler.

[Brooke]

Okay, okay. And I bet he was impressed with you. You're reading, like, a literary classic instead of some, like, smut romance book, which is. Oh, was that an insult?

[Jeffrey]

Alexis? Just saying there's, like, a big, muscular guy on the front.

[Brooke]

I stand up for all the SJM fans. Okay, I'm with you.

[Jeffrey]

Is that something that is a turn on to you out in the world? If you see a woman reading, like, a really fancy book, you're like, oh, yeah, hot. After you said see a woman. Oh, sorry.

[Stacy]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Immediately. No, if a girl's reading a book that is good, you want a little bit of intellect, right? I'm dumb, so I need her to be a little smart so we can balance.

[Stacy]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

All right. So you guys are sitting there at the coffee table, two butts, one chair. And what happens?

[Stacy]

And then he's suddenly. He's like, hey, I have to go for my workout.

[Brooke]

Oh, he's telling you where he's going. I always feel like that's kind of a I want to see you again or an invite or something.

[Jeffrey]

That's smart. Yeah. Like when I say I have to go to the bathroom, that's like an invite to let you know, going to be. And you can think about me.

[Brooke]

I mean, why Would he tell a complete stranger where he's going?

[Jeffrey]

You know what I mean? Why wouldn't he tell her where he's going? Well, he won't turn like, no, I honestly have an appointment or something.

[Stacy]

Yeah, he's just said, hey, it was nice meeting you. I have to head to my workout.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Stacy]

It means he's in shape. It's sexy.

[Brooke]

I know, but how did you get his phone number? Like, it sounds like that's the end. Like he doesn't, you know.

[Stacy]

No, I said, oh, wow, I no wonder you're in such great shape. I love to work out too. And then he invited me. He said, really? You know I do power yoga. And I said, oh my gosh, not a lot of guys do that.

[Jeffrey]

What's power yoga? Will I find out soon?

[Brooke]

It doesn't matter.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

I mean, so wait, so you went to his workout with him?

[Stacy]

Uh huh. Oh, you were ready on the spot to work out.

[Brooke]

Don't lie. You never go to a coffee shop without wearing yoga pants. I mean, you know, she's kind of ready.

[Stacy]

No, I had him. No, I had him in my bag.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you guys are working out together. That seems a little bit more intimate. How did that go? Let's get out of here.

[Stacy]

And it went great. I mean, it wasn't that intimate. It was just a class, so I just jumped in.

[Brooke]

Okay. Did you guys get spots next to each other?

[Stacy]

Yeah, but we were just doing yoga.

[Brooke]

I mean, I mean, you can't talk, but I love the bonding when you bring a friend and you make the eye contact like, oh, this pose is hard. You know, when you like, give each other the look.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. They were making out the whole class. Let's just assume that across the room.

[Brooke]

So far this sounds so friendly. Friendly, you know?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

When do we get to the romance?

[Jeffrey]

Is there a big romantic moment at the end of this?

[Stacy]

Well, like, I got his number and he took my number.

[Brooke]

Was there a talk of a date?

[Jeffrey]

Are you his workout buddy?

[Stacy]

Well, he talked about getting together again, so no matter what.

[Jeffrey]

That's good. Maybe, but it could just be like, to talk about Catcher in the Rye and like discuss plot points and stuff. I don't know. For Brooke, that could be really sexy.

[Brooke]

I would enjoy it.

[Jeffrey]

She did do it for fun.

[Brooke]

As long as they're trendy. Yeah, as long as there's wine involved.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so what's happened since you guys said goodbye to each other?

[Stacy]

Well, we basically texted, I'd say back and forth about three times and it was going really good as a start. Super easy texting back and forth. Sounded like we were going towards setting something up, and I haven't heard from him since.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, sometimes these things are out of your hands, like something else could have happened in his life.

[Stacy]

And so what do I do?

[Brooke]

Well, we call him.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And then reach out to us for help. That was a smart move. We're going to try and call this guy Tyler. We'll see if he picks up the phone, and hopefully he has an answer for why he's not setting up a second meetup for the two of you. I hope he's not in the middle of power yoga. We are going to embarrass him.

[Brooke]

He won't bring it in the studio.

[Jeffrey]

You're right.

[Brooke]

No pockets in power pants.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, we're good. All right, we'll do it right after this. Hold on. Second date update. What else do you need for a steamy first date besides hot coffee, power yoga and Catcher in the Rye?

[Brooke]

Dang. Had. I'm sweaty just thinking about it.

[Jeffrey]

Hardcover, first edition. Oh, you studious stud.

[Brooke]

Honestly, that would be worth so much money if you had that.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God. Well, that's the impromptu date that our listener Stacy went on recently after randomly meeting a guy named Tyler at a coffee shop. And even though they worked out together and seemed to have a lot in common, there didn't seem to be a ton of romantic chemistry happening. So, like Jose was saying, it's possible that Tyler sees you more as a workout study buddy, but we don't know. That's the whole reason that we're about to call him.

[Brooke]

And even if that's the case, then maybe we can help turn his mind into a more romantic thing. I mean, sometimes, especially with guys, they just don't see it unless it, likes, slaps him in the face.

[Jeffrey]

You know, Brooke is ready to slap Tyler right across the face until he sees the sexy side of Stacy.

[Brooke]

I mean, figuratively, yeah, but physically, too.

[Jeffrey]

If it comes to that. Stacy, are you cool with that? Do you condone that?

[Stacy]

Yeah, I just really don't meet people in real life.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

That's a common sentiment. I mean, romantically, right? Right.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, you're probably in most people. Yeah, that's just how it is. I'll bring that up to Tyler, too. That's a good point. You don't meet people like this every day, so he shouldn't let it pass him by.

[Stacy]

He really shouldn't let this pass him by.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, there we go.

[Brooke]

That's the confidence we need, Stacy, going into this.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, first let's see if he picks up because I'm dialing his number right now.

[Stacy]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Flirty.

[Stacy]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Tyler?

[Stacy]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, man, how you doing today? You're on a radio show right now called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Welcome to the show, Tyler.

[Jeffrey]

What up, man? Good morning.

[Stacy]

Okay, I'm on the radio right now.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah. Okay, say hi to millions of people.

[Stacy]

What is this about?

[Jeffrey]

We wanted you to do all the shout outs for the day on the show. Yeah. So we'll get to that in a second. Will you shout out my second cousin Car? We have a lot of that coach.

[Brooke]

That want their names. Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, let's not do this then. We have a great voice for it. Before we get to that, we want to talk to you a little bit about your dating life in a segment that we do called Second Date Update.

[Stacy]

Mine.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Yeah. You've been dating, Right.

[Brooke]

Well, this isn't really a date date. Like, this may be kind of, you know, you may not categorize it that way.

[Jeffrey]

We're not sure if you felt like it was a romantic hangout, but you met a woman recently named Stacy at a coffee shop.

[Stacy]

Yeah, yeah. The girl with a book, right?

[Brooke]

Yes, that's it. That you shared a chair with.

[Jeffrey]

Catch her in the ride. So we heard about you guys, like meeting up and you had coffee, did a little workout afterwards, right?

[Stacy]

Yeah, I remember her.

[Brooke]

Okay. I mean, what'd you think about her? She cute?

[Stacy]

Yeah, she's a beautiful girl. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay, good.

[Brooke]

That's a start.

[Jeffrey]

Stacy told us that after you guys met up, you were texting about possibly hanging out a second time, but nothing happened.

[Stacy]

Right.

[Jeffrey]

She's just not sure where your head's at.

[Stacy]

Okay. And you want. You want me to tell you on the air?

[Jeffrey]

It'd be a lot better than off the air for all the listeners.

[Brooke]

Use the phone.

[Jeffrey]

And we're just gonna listen.

[Stacy]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

I'm just kidding. If that's okay with you.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Stacy]

All right. Well, yeah, there's a reason.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Stacy]

So we were texting back and forth and scheduling a first real date.

[Brooke]

Yeah, she said that.

[Stacy]

And so I was suggesting we get together the following weekend and she comes back with, yeah, that's great. I'm excited. But we can't do Friday. Cause it's your birthday. Huh?

[Brooke]

Hey. Okay, does she mean her birthday? How would she know your birthday?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that is true. How did you.

[Brooke]

Or maybe it came up when you guys were talking at coffee.

[Jeffrey]

Did you mention that to her?

[Stacy]

No, I never did. And I was Racking my brain to see if I could figure out where she would have learned my birthday. The yoga studio would never say that.

[Jeffrey]

But isn't that like. Alexis, isn't that normal? If you meet a guy that you like, you, like, immediately stalk him online.

[Brooke]

Everywhere you do stalk him online, you probably would see someone's birthday, but you don't mention it. Yeah, she might have messed up.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, what's on is, like, Facebook or Instagram. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Are you sure you're not, like, misremembering that? Like, maybe somehow you mentioned it in conversation?

[Stacy]

I don't think so. I mean, we didn't have a lot of deep talks. That's why we were gonna get together for another date.

[Brooke]

Well, but she's not trying to date you on your birthday, which is a good sign.

[Stacy]

But just her knowing when my birthday was kind of freaked me out, so I just stopped responding to her.

[Brooke]

I mean, yeah, like, if you stalk a guy and you know he has two brothers, you don't mention the brothers. You still ask if he has siblings, you know? So you think Alexis, she maybe did it on accident?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, on accident. It's possible. And we can find out because, Tyler, I mean, this isn't going to be a great look for her when I tell you this, but Stacy is quietly listening on the other line to this conversation, waiting for her chance to talk to you.

[Brooke]

It's not like, dude, not like a stalker.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, man.

[Stacy]

No, that's not creepy at all.

[Jeffrey]

No, we haven't. Yeah, it's just how the segment works.

[Brooke]

That's our bad.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Stacy, are you there?

[Stacy]

Hi, Tyler.

[Brooke]

Oh, God.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow.

[Stacy]

Okay, I just want to say I missed your birthday, so happy birthday.

[Brooke]

Oh, doubling down. That's kind of funny. You mean that as a joke?

[Jeffrey]

Wait, is it a joke?

[Stacy]

No, it's not a joke. I really did miss his birthday. And say hi to little Buster for me, your dog.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, what? Wait, how do you.

[Stacy]

How do you know my dog's name? I never told you Buster's name. I have a confession to make.

[Brooke]

What? Are you inside his house right now?

[Jeffrey]

You are the dog. You're Buster.

[Stacy]

No. This whole meeting of ours was not an accident.

[Brooke]

What? Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

This is getting worse.

[Brooke]

Dude, what do you. Wait. Explain.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Stacy]

What's going on right now? I did run across your dating profile about a week ago, and I saw the logo for the coffee shop behind you when you're receiving. And I went to the coffee shop and waited until I would run into you. And I just hope that you can respect a girl who does her homework.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, that's more than homework.

[Stacy]

Suddenly all makes sense now.

[Brooke]

Okay, Dude, Stacy, you lied to us, too. You said that it was like a chance in real life.

[Stacy]

It was a chance that I would meet him.

[Jeffrey]

She didn't know what day he was gonna be in the coffee shop if.

[Brooke]

She went every day.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Stacy, this is not normal behavior.

[Stacy]

I don't know what to say right now. I'm. I'm kind of weirded out.

[Brooke]

I don't blame you. And how do you know his dog's name?

[Stacy]

It wasn't on my dating profile.

[Brooke]

That is nuts. Stacy, you can't do that.

[Stacy]

I can't do that, and I did. He just gave me the information on the app, and I put myself in his situation to run into.

[Brooke]

I trust nothing that you're saying right now. Like, what was the book? Were you actually reading that book?

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Stacy]

I mean, after I saw that he liked it. Sure.

[Brooke]

Why not?

[Jeffrey]

Waiting around for him for hours. Got a lot of time to kill.

[Stacy]

Okay, I feel totally duped here.

[Jeffrey]

Isn't it the thought that counts? Behind the.

[Brooke]

Dude, you stop it. You stop it. If we would have known this, we would have not called for Stacy. Tyler, we don't like to be around.

[Stacy]

A woman who was gonna call for me. He had blocked me.

[Brooke]

You didn't tell us that, E. Sure. You know, his best friend's names don't lie.

[Stacy]

You guys are really funny. I saw the guy on the dating profile, and I just went the extra mile to meet him.

[Jeffrey]

That's kind of sweet.

[Brooke]

Makes you sound so innocent that way, Stacy.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it does. Okay. The extra mile. So it's a long mile. Yeah. Stacy, you clearly still want to go out with Tyler here, but before we. I do.

[Stacy]

I do. But I have a problem with something I have to clear up first.

[Jeffrey]

Why don't you have an issue? You have a problem?

[Brooke]

Problem?

[Stacy]

I noticed you paid someone named Trish three times last week on a Venmo, and I'm hoping she's a dog walker.

[Jeffrey]

Venmo is kind of like, public knowledge.

[Brooke]

No. You could switch it to private.

[Stacy]

I'm switching it to private right now.

[Brooke]

Dude, that's nuts.

[Stacy]

That's not very nice. It's not polite. I don't like that, Tyler.

[Brooke]

Well, why is that the creepiest thing she said? Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Really? With a tone. But it's still a yes, as far as I understood that.

[Brooke]

From Stacy.

[Jeffrey]

From Stacy.

[Brooke]

Are you actually going to ask Tyler?

[Jeffrey]

It's kind to ask.

[Brooke]

Don't put him in that position, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]
