Podcast: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Episode Air Date: August 26, 2025
Episode Theme: A boyfriend suspects his girlfriend is cheating after finding a mysterious burner phone—and gets much more than he bargained for on the Awkward Tuesday Phone Call.

---

Overview

This episode centers around Derek, a listener suspicious that his long-term girlfriend, Annie, is hiding something after he discovers a new phone with a lone male contact ("Brian") hidden in her drawer. With suspicion mounting, Derek turns to the Brooke and Jeffrey team for help confronting Annie in a high-stakes, live on-air conversation. What starts as a potential infidelity drama takes an unexpected detour into the world of side hustles, online suitors, and car fundraisers.

Key Discussion Points & Episode Breakdown

1. Setting the Stage: Derek’s Dilemma

• Background: Derek and Annie have been together for years. Lately, Annie’s behavior has changed—she’s been acting secretive, leaving for short periods and returning happy, and Derek has spotted a new, hidden phone with only one contact: "Brian" (06:15).
• The Discovery: Derek details how he found the phone buried in her desk and, after Googling the number with no results, becomes convinced Annie is cheating.
  • Derek (06:57): “I find a cell phone. And I’m thinking, this looks brand new. Like, the newest iPhone type of new…there’s one contact, a guy named Brian.”
• Attempted Confrontation: Nervous to ask directly, Derek tries dropping “Brian” into conversation. Annie denies knowing any Brian and grows defensive, after which the phone disappears.

---

2. Speculation and Support from the Hosts

• Theories and Sarcasm: Brooke and Jeffrey banter about the possibilities—could Annie have a secret boyfriend? Is there an innocent explanation? (“It’s not an old phone. Like, she’s actively taking it.” - Brooke, 08:04)
• Advice:
  • Brooke: Advises direct honesty—remind Annie of your feelings and lay out the facts (12:04).
  • Jose: Suggests a less confrontational approach, like proposing they both get new phones to prompt Annie to reveal the second phone herself (12:42).
  • Supportive Note: “You are a person to be loved and cherished. If someone’s not doing that, it’s time to move on.” – Brooke (13:27)

3. The Awkward Tuesday Phone Call

(Begins ~13:59)

The Confrontation:

• Derek calls Annie (live, with hosts listening) using a mix of both honesty and a veiled approach about new phones.
• Derek directly references the extra phone and “Brian,” which Annie at first denies, then gets defensive about his “snooping.”

The Bombshell:

• Annie’s cryptic: “You’re never, ever going to meet him.” (16:32)
• The hosts jump in to clarify what’s happening, revealing the show to Annie. She’s frustrated but decides to reveal the truth (16:39–17:31):

The Truth Comes Out:

• Annie’s Secret Hustle:

  • Annie insists she isn’t cheating. She meets men online, engages in friendly conversations, and gets them to buy her things—like phones—which she then sells to help fund a new car for her and Derek.
  • Annie (17:39): “I meet guys on a certain website, and I engage them in… a friendly conversation…so I ask them for a new phone.”
  • “So far, I’ve gotten 40 phones and sold just most of them all to pay for our car.” (18:12)

• Hosts’ Reactions: Both shocked and bemused, the hosts press Annie for details. They voice skepticism, particularly about the risks and the true nature of the ‘friendly’ arrangement.

  • Brooke (18:21): “So you’re talking to other men for the betterment of a new car for you guys?”
  • Jeffrey (18:44): “Well, if your car’s fast enough, they won’t be able to catch you.”

• Safety Concerns: Derek and the hosts express concern about the dangers of Annie’s side hustle and speculate about expectations from the men involved.

---

4. Resolution and Lighter Moments

• Derek’s Response: Shock turns to disbelief, then playful acceptance.

  • Derek (19:03): “How cool of a car are we talking?”
  • He later jokes about wanting in on the next scheme: “Next time, rope me into this plan of yours…might make me seem a little less likely to think that you’re cheating.” (19:58)

• Hosts’ Final Thoughts:

  • Jeffrey wonders if Derek should now get his own side hustle (21:40).
  • Brooke remains skeptical, “I’m sure none of these people giving money will ever expect anything else than a friendly conversation…” (21:46)
  • Both recognize that, while unconventional, this couple’s situation could be worse, but warn listeners about the murkiness and risks involved.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Snooping:
  • Annie: “That was my drawer. It’s not yours. You’re snooping in places that you should not.” (15:57)
• On Never Meeting Brian:
  • Annie: “You’re never, ever going to meet him.” (16:32)
  • Brooke: “What do you mean you’re never gonna meet him? He doesn’t want to meet you or something?” (16:39)
• On Annie’s Side Hustle:
  • Annie: “So far, I’ve gotten 40 phones and sold just most of them to pay for our car.” (18:12)
• Jeffrey (joking): “Well, if your car’s fast enough, they won’t be able to catch you.” (18:44)
• Derek’s turnabout:
  • Derek: “How cool of a car are we talking? Whoa.” (19:03)
• Brooke’s skepticism:
  • “You may be able to sell those…” referring to chat transcripts, implying the messages could be valuable—or suspicious (22:11)

[Brooke]

Hey it's Brooke and Jeffrey and this is the second Day podcast. We got a brand new awkward Tuesday phone call for you coming up. But first a lot of feelings, a lot of big feelings on yesterday's second date. The lengths that that woman went through to get revenge for her friend were a lot. Yeah. I don't know that I would commit 10 hours just to get back at a guy that goes to my friends. I know, but some people were actually on her side. Yeah. They said, I don't know. I like her and her friend. Good for her. Guys who ghost deserve that. I don't really think it was hate for the guy. She was just defending her friend and upset that she got hurt, which makes total sense. Yeah. Yeah. So it's just so much time. I mean, it would be more fun to just take your girlfriend out and be like, hey, let's get over this guy.

[Jeffrey]

Also, this wouldn't work for guys because we would just, like, try to get the other girl back, like, and they just wouldn't respond.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I see. Like, different.

[Jeffrey]

I'll totally date your ex. Don't worry.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Derek]

All right.

[Jeffrey]

That didn't work, so.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Didn't work. Sorry. All right, well, thank you so much for commenting.

[Derek]

Always.

[Brooke]

We'd love to hear your thoughts about what happens during these episodes. And today we've got an awkward Tuesday that is, you know, gonna be fun for you. Yeah. So here it goes. Brand new starts right now.

[Jeffrey]

We've done a fair amount of these phone calls where we help out listeners, and then our reaction is, whoa. Did not expect that.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Well, today we got a huge whoa. I definitely was not expecting that. Oh, wow. Jeff. Maybe one of the biggest of the entire year. I've never seen Jeff that animated before.

[Brooke]

The biggest woe of the entire year.

[Jeffrey]

Not expecting it. So, man, someone clip this. The whole show didn't even know what to say when the truth came out. So you'll be happy to know it gets extra awkward in your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call. Don't miss it. It's next. It's awkward.

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Jeffrey]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call. It's not necessarily the most fun, fun part of our jobs, but occasionally we have to do it.

[Brooke]

What is it?

[Jeffrey]

Help out a listener who's worried about possible cheating in their relationship.

[Brooke]

Yikes.

[Jeffrey]

No, we may not be private eyes, but we do know about eyeing privates, and that was close enough for a guy named Derek to reach out for help today. So, Derek, man, I'm sorry that we're meeting under these circumstances, but, hey, thanks for being on. Welcome to the show, dude.

[Derek]

Thank you, man. I appreciate it.

[Brooke]

My eyes are on your privates right now. Oh, is that supposed to be Helpful. No, I meant private life. Yeah, no, Jeff started it, man. I was just trying to finish it.

[Jeffrey]

You're a little more direct. I hinted at it and you went right for it. That's okay.

[Brooke]

Sorry.

[Jeffrey]

Derek, why don't you tell us about the reason that you emailed us for help? What makes you think that your girlfriend is cheating on you?

[Derek]

Yeah, so my girlfriend and I, we've been dating for a very long time. And. Okay, something weird has been happening, and it's been kind of happening over the past couple days, but, like, specifically the other day.

[Brooke]

Oh, so this is super recent.

[Derek]

Yeah, so I was over at her place, and every morning she takes a little run. Like, she does this all the time. Like, that's her. Her thing.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

I bet she wouldn't like it if you called it little. I mean, I'm sure it's a great run.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe he's a short run.

[Derek]

And so, you know, she brings her phone with her. She listens to music. So I was just doing some work, and I needed to go get a pen to write something down, right? And I went to her desk drawer, and underneath her notebook, I find a cell phone. And at first I was just like, oh, you know, it's just an old phone. But, like, as I'm looking at the cell phone, like, it looks brand new. Like the newest iPhone type of new.

[Brooke]

Oh, did she maybe buy one and not activate it yet?

[Derek]

That's what I thought at first. I was like, okay, like, maybe she needed new phones. We've been talking about that. Like, how we both wanted to get new phones recently, but both of us know each other's passwords. So I opened it, and there's one contact and a guy named Brian.

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Derek]

And I don't know any Brian. So I'm sitting there, I'm like, what the is this?

[Brooke]

Yeah, I would be freaking out.

[Derek]

So I found out from this person recently that you can Google somebody's phone number and, like, figure out who they are. Yeah, yeah, I did that. And it turns out he's from out of state. Couldn't find any pictures of him or anything.

[Brooke]

Oh, do you need Alexis to get on it? Because she could have those for you in, what, 30 seconds?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she may already have his number.

[Derek]

Yeah, I mean, yeah, that might. That might be helpful. So, like, I'm thinking she's hiding this for me, right? And, like, she has been acting, like, kind of strange.

[Brooke]

Oh, man.

[Derek]

Like, she'll go and she'll be like, I'm going to go run some errands and Then she'll be gone for 30 minutes and she'll come back extremely happy. And there's times where she'll come back, no, like, bags at all, no nothing. It's all generic.

[Jeffrey]

And the fact that she's coming back super happy from her 30 minute errand is also kind of.

[Brooke]

You said the guy was out of state.

[Derek]

For all I know, he could be nearby and just have an out of state phone number.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Do you ever check when she's gone? Like, if she takes. Takes that extra phone with her or if it's like, still in the drawer?

[Derek]

So I put it back the other day and I went to check it this morning and it was gone.

[Jeffrey]

Alexis, what does that mean?

[Brooke]

Not good things, Jeff.

[Derek]

Not good things.

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. You always keep your secret boyfriend phone in the same spot every single day, except when it's moved. Then you know you're up to no good point.

[Brooke]

It's not an old phone. Like, she's actively taking it.

[Jeffrey]

But that's what I was gonna say. Why would you leave like, a cheater burner phone, like, out and around your boyfriend?

[Derek]

Ye.

[Brooke]

It was in a drawer underneath a notebook.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. How much. How much more hidden does it have to be?

[Brooke]

I mean, I could think of a lot better spots to hide it if it's been going on for a long time. You get lazy with that stuff, you know? Yeah. I mean, could there be any other reason for it? Have you thought of.

[Derek]

Not that I can really think of.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Derek]

But dang. I tried something really stupid, so I tried to, like, weave his name into conversations. Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Because I was going to ask have, like, why haven't you brought this up and confronted her about it? But you've tried to do it in a sneaky way.

[Derek]

Yeah, I'm extremely nervous. Like, I've been with this girl for so long that it to the point where it's like, I don't want to believe it's true, you know?

[Brooke]

How did you weave Brian into conversation?

[Derek]

I was telling a story when I went to go get my oil change and I was saying, oh, yeah, like the guy Brian, like, was talking about this and I was like, you know, like, I know a lot of Brian's. Like, don't you know Brian? Like, you know what I'm saying?

[Jeffrey]

Brian's such a cool man. I mean, you must know tons of Brian.

[Derek]

You know, Brian's.

[Brooke]

Honey, how attractive do you find Brian?

[Derek]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Brooke]

What was her response?

[Derek]

She got, like, really adamant, like, no, no, not really. And then again after that, that was when the phone Kind of disappeared, and I don't know what else to do. Like, I'm afraid of how this conversation is going to go, and I don't know how to bring it up.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it sounds like up until this point, you thought you were in a happy relationship.

[Derek]

Yeah. Like, it's been so great, I thought.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

That's so hard. I'm sorry.

[Jeffrey]

And so we never call. What was your girlfriend's name?

[Derek]

Annie.

[Brooke]

Annie.

[Jeffrey]

Annie. Okay.

[Brooke]

It sounds like such a nice name, too.

[Derek]

No, it does.

[Jeffrey]

With your awkward call. Are we reaching out to Annie here, or are we calling this guy Brian and trying to figure out. We're starting with the first B. Brian Anderson. You better be ready.

[Derek]

I really don't care about the guy. I want to hear it from her.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's the right place to put your energy. Oh, it's not bad. I would have for sure called him. I mean, he may not even know, you know, that she's in a relationship.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So we need to really figure out what is our advice going to be to help you with this and get.

[Brooke]

Her to confess, if that's what's happening.

[Jeffrey]

Seriously, Derek, you deserve some answers when we come back and let you make your awkward Tuesday phone call to find out if your girlfriend is being unfaithful with some dude named Brian. It's coming up right after this. Hold on. It's awkward.

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Jeffrey]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call. I think most people have one drawer in their house with, like, 10 different random phones in there and a bunch of old charger cables.

[Derek]

Dude.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, Just old devices you never turned in or threw out. Cause maybe you're open to reminisce when one day and look back at all the old naughty photos of yourself 10, 15 years ago. You think that. But I just found those phones recently, and I was like, why do I have these? I never even turned them on again.

[Derek]

Exactly.

[Jeffrey]

But that's different than the phone our listener Derek found in his girlfriend's desk recently, which was brand new with only one contact in it and no naughty pictures, unfortunately.

[Brooke]

Right, Jeff?

[Jeffrey]

Not that he could find. At least the contact was a random guy named Brian from out of state who he's never even heard of before. So naturally, he's thinking, oh, God, this is my girlfriend's burner phone that she's using to sneak around on me with.

[Brooke]

Yeah, and the more we got into it, the more we felt the exact same thing.

[Jeffrey]

Right. Hasn't been able to confirm that officially, though. So that's what he's trying to do once and for all with his awkward Tuesday phone call. Or hopefully just find out that he's totally wrong and there's some other explanation for it. First, he needs advice. So, Brooke, what do you have for him?

[Brooke]

I think the first thing you need to do is like, remind her you're a person with feelings that she actually cares about.

[Jeffrey]

Derek, can you confirm that you are an actual person with real feelings?

[Derek]

That I can. That I can.

[Brooke]

Yes. And I think you need to lay it out there. You need to say, look, I found this phone. It's got a contact Brian on it. You need to explain.

[Derek]

It's going to be kind of hard for me to do, but I'm a definitely try.

[Brooke]

I know. We're here for you, though. You know, we got your back. I can't even imagine being in your position.

[Jeffrey]

Or is it hard for him to do because he's not a real person? We don't know. So, Jose, what's your advice for Derek here? Look, there's a lot of ways this conversation can go to put her on.

[Derek]

The defensive, and we don't want to do that. So suggest that we need to get new phones. Honey.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

And then that way, the rest of the story may come out. She. Oh, I just have a new phone. Oh, I see. You're trying to get her to admit that she has a second phone without accusing her of it. Yeah, I already got one in the drawer. Okay, that's. It's interesting. It's totally conflicting advice than what Brooke said, which was to directly bring it up.

[Brooke]

He already. He already tried the whole slip Brian into a conversation, and it didn't work.

[Jeffrey]

That's true. So, I mean, at the end of the day, Derek, it's going to be up to you to decide which piece of advice you feel like fits best for you. But no matter what, we're going to be waiting here ready to support you on the other line.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Brooke]

And you also remember that you are a person to be loved and cherished. And if someone's not doing that for you, then it's time to move on.

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Derek]

Thank you, guys. A lot. It means a lot.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, man, you got this, brother. Really trying to sell the human aspect there.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Jeff's attached.

[Jeffrey]

I'm not sure still, but maybe things will clear up when you make this call. I'm gonna dial your girlfriend Annie here. You gave me her number, and hopefully she picks up, but here we go, man. Good luck.

[Derek]

Hello? Hey, babe. Oh, hi. Hi. How are you? I'm doing okay. Just my standard routine. Just didn't expect call from you. Not from your number. Oh, you know, I was just in the process of maybe getting a new phone. You know, just trying to figure that whole thing out. Because, you know, I think we're both kind of due for new phones, don't you think? Yeah. Yeah. But good try. You know that I love you a lot. Yes. And I would hope that feeling is reciprocated. Of course. Of course. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Because, you know, as a fellow human being, you know, I feel like we all have feelings that should be cherished. What's going on? Are you on something right now? No. Are you possibly on something called Brian Bishop? You asked me about the same thing the other day. I don't know anyone named Brian, so please stop asking me. I mean, it's kind of hard to think that when I found another phone in our room with the contact Brian. I don't know what you're talking about. So we're just gonna pretend that there wasn't a phone underneath your notebook with a contact named Brian that just magically disappeared the day after I mentioned the name Brian? That was my drawer. It's not yours. You're snooping in places that you should not. No one was snooping. I literally just to go get a pencil and I saw the phone. So let's not beat around the bush here and try to act like the phone wasn't found. Trust me, I am not interested in any other guy. What do you mean? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. You're telling me about this phone like. No, put yourself in my dude for a second. Like, this is crazy. You're never, ever going to meet him. What does that even mean?

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Derek]

Awkward.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no. What is happening here?

[Brooke]

What do you mean you're never gonna meet him? He doesn't want to meet your sight.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Wait, what's happening? Who are those people?

[Jeffrey]

That's our question. Yeah, these people. You're talking about us. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Derek]

Hi. Good morning.

[Jeffrey]

You're on a segment that we do called the Awkward Tuesday Phone Call.

[Brooke]

Oh, man.

[Derek]

I don't want to talk about this with you guys. You're going to talk to them about it.

[Jeffrey]

Listen, and the reason that we're on the phone with your boyfriend Derek here is because we're trying to help him. After the phone that he found, he didn't know the right way to handle this situation with you. He was going through us to get a little bit of advice.

[Derek]

Derek, you're going to make me freaking blow your surprise. What are you talking about right now?

[Brooke]

What surprise?

[Jeffrey]

Surprise.

[Derek]

Look, this is really embarrassing to admit, but I am not cheating on you whatsoever.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, but you're saying things like, don't worry, you're never gonna meet the other guy. Like, who are you. What are you even talking about there?

[Derek]

Okay, well, I meet guys on a certain website, and I engage them in, like, a friendly conversation.

[Brooke]

All right, Are you talking about, like, only fans or something? Are you doing video stuff?

[Derek]

No, they just pay for things, so I ask them for a new phone.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

We're still a little unclear here, Annie. I don't understand. How is this, like, not as bad as it sounds?

[Brooke]

It sounds worse, to be honest.

[Derek]

Well, so far, I've gotten 40 phones and soldiers, most of them all to pay for our car.

[Brooke]

What? So you're trying to make this, like, altruistic? Like you're talking to other men for the betterment of a new car for you guys?

[Derek]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. After all the crime documentaries that we've watched, do you think that's smart?

[Brooke]

Wait, you're worried about crime? I mean, out of 40 phones, there's no way you're not gonna have to do something exchanged one of those guys? No, there's no way.

[Derek]

And again, the guys who are are probably the ones that are going to stalk us afterwards.

[Brooke]

Yes, you're not wrong.

[Jeffrey]

Well, if your car's fast enough, they won't be able to catch.

[Derek]

I mean, it goes to a P.O. box, so they'll never know what our address is.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's kind of smart. But still, it doesn't feel.

[Brooke]

Dude. Derek, do you feel better or worse? Like, where are you at?

[Derek]

How cool of a car are we talking? Whoa.

[Jeffrey]

Is the juice worth the squeeze is what he's asking.

[Derek]

I mean, some surprises need to be kept secret. I'm not saying that yet. O luxury.

[Brooke]

I put resale markets. That good?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, or it's like, blow the anniversary gift.

[Brooke]

Or this is all just a big lie to cover up your actual cheating. Like, it's. Why wouldn't you tell them what kind of call.

[Jeffrey]

Wait a minute. I was done with the cheating part.

[Derek]

When we're home tonight, I can show you all of the books, and you can see how much money that I've made through this business.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you track everything, Mark, you need.

[Brooke]

To read those chat messages, I think.

[Jeffrey]

Or if there's none, that's also saying a lot. They're all deleted. And Annie, Alexis wants the website that you're meeting these scammable. Guys on. So if you could forward that to Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, full of those guys for Alexis.

[Derek]

We're fine.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, never mind. We're good. You keep scamming.

[Derek]
