• Megan challenges Jack’s absence: “Grow some balls and talk to me instead of hiding behind someone on the radio.” ([17:25])

• Things get personal after Brooke brings up bedroom issues: Megan explodes—“Oh my god, will you shut the fuck up? That is not any of your business. This is not something that has to be discussed publicly. The fact that you would even bring that up is disgusting.” ([19:03])

But it's happening today. Brooke breaks you up.

[Megan]

Yes.

[Brooke]

I love listening. Oh God, you just wish you had my services earlier in your 20s. Honestly.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I could have used you.

[Brooke]

Okay, before we get to it, comments. Yes, Brian Alvarez said your favorite state of Florida here. I'm on my third trip around the Brooke and Jeffrey universe. I start at the latest episode available and play you guys constantly in the background of my life until I get to the end. Then I start again. This is my third time starting. That is crazy.

[Jeffrey]

I wonder how many new ones he hears by the time it gets to the end of the restart.

[Brooke]

Right. And how long it takes.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe it's like 10 new second dates and then starts over maybe 50.

[Brooke]

I hope that takes months. I want to know the mental state from when you started to when you finish now. Like physical, like where?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you keep doing it. So something's happening.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Yeah. Well.

[Megan]

Wow.

[Brooke]

That is incredible. Thank you so much for being here and really, truly thank you for all that support. Yes, your brand new episode starts right now.

[Jeffrey]

How do you deliver bad news to someone that you really care about? Oh, man. Gently. I guess if you're Alexis, you shrink down, apologize profusely, and then run away before they ever make eye contact with you.

[Megan]

Exactly.

[Brooke]

Or over Texas.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, if you can get it out. But you know what? That strategy isn't gonna work today. Cause what we need is a fearless, fire breathing monster with a delicate feminine touch. And glasses so big she can see the reflection of your soul in them before she sucks it out of your body and laughs directly in your face.

[Brooke]

So well done.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe overselling it just a little bit, but this is a segment that could go down as this year's most explosive confrontation that we'll have all year long. It's a brand new edition of Brooke breaks you up.

[Brooke]

I do not enjoy this.

[Jeffrey]

I don't fear the monster. Coming up right after this. Hey, Brooke, can you break us up?

[Brooke]

Sure.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke breaks you up. Welcome back to Brooke breaks you up.

[Brooke]

I didn't think this segment could get more cringy for me until you added the intro.

[Jeffrey]

It's awesome. I know, Brooke, you said. Sure. So excitedly at the thought of breaking.

[Brooke]

Somebody up mentally prepared for a breakup today, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Well, one of our listeners is. Because if you haven't heard this segment before, one of our listeners identifies the harshest person on our show, Brooke Fox, and asks her to do their dirty work for them.

[Brooke]

I do think that you shouldn't stay with someone if you're not into the relationship anymore. I've watched too many friends stay in longtime relationships that were a waste of their time.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, don't cite your therapist here, Brooke. Brooke is the perfect person for this because she has broken up with hundreds of dudes over the years for totally selfish reasons and feels no remorse about it whatsoever.

[Brooke]

I don't, actually.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

So on the other side, I've also been dumped many, many, many times.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, she knows how it feels and she knows exactly what to say. So, Brooke, are you ready to help one of our listeners blindside his significant other and break off their relationship?

[Brooke]

She's not going to see it coming.

[Jeffrey]

Because a guy named Jack has emailed our show saying he wants to break up with his sweet, lovely girlfriend Melanie, who's a hospice nurse and rescues kittens in her free time. She's an angel.

[Brooke]

I'm gonn cry. I'm gonna cry. Please tell me that part.

[Jeffrey]

Is it true? No. I don't know if any of what I said is actually true. It's just a blind guess, but we will find out when we speak to Jack directly. Jack, was any of my guesses about your girlfriend, right?

[Jack]

No, not at all.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I didn't get the name right. What's her soon to be ex girlfriend's name?

[Jack]

Her name's Megan.

[Brooke]

Okay, why can't you do this yourself?

[Megan]

Maybe she cheated on him.

[Sponsor/Announcer]

We don't know.

[Brooke]

Maybe it's.

[Jeffrey]

It'll be easy.

[Brooke]

Yeah, maybe.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe you're gonna not like her. Brooke, tell us.

[Brooke]

I've liked every me I've ever met.

[Jeffrey]

Change here. Tell us the story of you and Megan and why it's not meant to be.

[Jack]

Yeah, well, I actually have tried several times to break it off myself. And I've been meaning to call this show for a minute because, Brooke, I mean, it's just. You're so good at it.

[Brooke]

Okay, let's not butter me up. I hear you. Okay, listen, you've tried many times. As in you've chickened out at the last second or she is just refusing to leave as your girlfriend.

[Jack]

I guess a little of both. More so the last one because, I mean, I haven't said the words out loud, but I think she has like a little spidey senses and can see it coming and then she'll change the subject or, like, we'll go do something like that. She knows I like and it's really fun, so it's never the right time.

[Jeffrey]

Well, good news is you don't have to talk. Brooke gets to do all that for you. But maybe we need to give her a little bit of ammunition. Like, what do you think caused the down? Like, what's the reason for the breakup? What caused the downfall of your relationship?

[Jack]

Yeah, so I thought that opposites attract, you know, at the beginning of the relationship. And, you know, I'm more laid back and she's like, really intense.

[Brooke]

Oh, God, I have to call an intense person.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah. I have a friend. You don't have to. You get to.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

This is an honor that you get to have.

[Brooke]

And so how is that affecting your relationship negatively?

[Jack]

She's just a little scary. And the thought of being with her is a little even more scary than not.

[Brooke]

So how long have you been together, Jack, you and her?

[Jack]

For a couple months.

[Brooke]

Oh, not that long. Okay. Okay, I could break that off.

[Jack]

Well, I should be clear. We've been officially boyfriend and girlfriend for a few months, but we've been dating on and off for the last, like, year.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay. It's been rocky from the start if it was on and off. Yeah. I don't know if this is pertinent to anyone else, but I need to know what I'm working with here. Do you guys use the I love you?

[Jack]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you use it, but you don't, like, mean it wholeheartedly.

[Sponsor/Announcer]

Not the answer.

[Jeffrey]

Right. And they don't mean it.

[Jack]

Right. It's kind of like an obligation.

[Jeffrey]

I see. So how long do you want to keep the act going? You can't keep it going forever. And you said that you've tried to broach this conversation with Megan before, and it just. You. You just can't get it out.

[Jack]

Yeah. And at the beginning of the relationship, with the intensity factor, intimacy in the bedroom was great, but now it's just like, nothing. Like, just dead. And it's really weird because, like, I've tried everything. I even tried talking to her during foreplay, which I never do.

[Jeffrey]

Oh. I never do.

[Brooke]

All of these details.

[Jeffrey]

Well, this is making you want to break them up more, isn't it?

[Brooke]

Brooke, I mean, sounds like she's not satisfied either. Yeah. Why would she want to be in this relationship? We can do a separate segment where Brooke gives advice on that. Yeah. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

A chance that Brooke does this, and your girlfriend actually cheers in happiness when Brooke says it's over.

[Jack]

I don't think she's gonna do that. I'm just gonna tell you that right now. She can be really harsh and super blunt.

[Jeffrey]

Some people also just, like, need to be in a relationship.

[Sponsor/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Like, even if she's not happy, she has someone's.

[Brooke]

Maybe she's a vine swinger. You know? Like, you don't let go of one relationship before you got another in your hand. Jose, are you willing to go out with her just so I can you.

[Jeffrey]

Take a straight bullet?

[Brooke]

Sorry.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. All right. Alexis, you're gonna have to tap in for Jose. Way more interesting.

[Brooke]

I could be a. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

All right, we've got a backup plan for your girlfriend to fall on once Brooke comes back and breaks you up with your on and off again year.

[Brooke]

Long girlfriend, Megan, who's really intense and scary. I mean, I think I got this. Honestly, like, I'm feeling better than I was at the beginning of the call.

[Jeffrey]

All right. You feeling good about this, Jack?

[Jack]

I think Brooke is the perfect person to do this because I obviously have issues with saying what I need to say, and so Brooke is like a battle axe and she's gonna just kill it.

[Brooke]

Battle a.

[Jeffrey]

All right.

[Brooke]

Never heard battle axe used as a compliment.

[Jeffrey]

Well, we're gonna do battle ax Brooke. We're gonna have our best Braveheart cry before we charge in and break up this relationship with Brooke Breaks you up Right after this. Hey, Brooke, can you break us up?

[Brooke]

Sure.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke breaks you up.

[Brooke]

What is happening on this show?

[Jeffrey]

Welcome to the battle that everyone on the text board is forward to, where Brooke is going to break up a couple. Because our listener Jack, who's kind of a laid back guy, we spoke to him a little. He told us his on and off again girlfriend of the past year can be a little blunt, a little intense, and very tough to deal with one on one. So he thinks Brooke is the perfect person for this job to step in and end things once and for all on his behalf.

[Jack]

Laugh.

[Brooke]

We haven't done this in a long time. I forget, do I call Jack back in after I talk to her or.

[Jeffrey]

Is why you sound so scared, Brooke?

[Brooke]

Well, I just.

[Jeffrey]

Don't be so terrified. Don't worry about the logistics of it. Yeah, it'll happen naturally. You've done this a thousand times. But Jack has tried to do it himself on several occasions. It just never seems to go well. That's why he's calling in the battle axe, Brooke Fox herself, to charge in and deliver that fatal blow.

[Brooke]

How about I could just be a reasonable person with some logic into a relationship?

[Jeffrey]

Not what Jack is asking for. He wants a hammer brought down. We need an old weapon.

[Brooke]

What with you. You're already okay. Jack, I think you need to understand, when I have this conversation with her, I'm going to have to say some, like, reasons why she shouldn't even want to be with you. Oh, I just don't want you to take that personally.

[Jeffrey]

Smart. Jack, is there anything bad about yourself that Brooke can throw out There?

[Brooke]

We heard it the first half.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. What are your weaknesses? Not good in bed.

[Brooke]

I do have some notes. Yeah?

[Jack]

Yeah, I think I'm good on part. I just don't want her to be mad at me. Like she's gonna be pissed.

[Brooke]

Yep, that's fine. Why do you care? You're not gonna be with her anymore. That's the whole thing is like, if you want to break up with someone, you have to be okay with however they're gonna feel about you afterwards.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, man. Hearing those words just send shivers down my spine. The coldness in Brook's voice.

[Brooke]

Dump a woman and then you want her to still like you. Like that's not gonna happen.

[Jeffrey]

You hear the ice in her veins, Jack. She is so ready for this. So.

[Jack]

Well, as long as you do all of it like, I. I don't really want to be talking with her, so.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, perfect. Jack, Brooke is going to handle all of this. You don't have to say anything. You can just listen quietly and hear how it goes. We will have you in the sidelines if you do want to jump in and say something or if we need to call you in maybe to clarify a point signal or something. Well, I don't. We may have to have him join at some point just because who knows how it's going to turn out? Brooke may not know.

[Brooke]

I don't think it's going to be that bad. I mean, honestly.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I hope not. She's fiery.

[Brooke]

Why would anyone want to be with someone that doesn't want to be with them?

[Jeffrey]

That's good. Save that. Save that for when you. When you talk to Megan here. So, Brooke, I'm not gonna say a word. The phone is gonna ring, and if she answers, you can start talking directly to her.

[Brooke]

It's a huge deal.

[Jeffrey]

Not for Brooke. Fox. It's not a big deal. Here we go.

[Jack]

Hey, Brooke. Godspeed.

[Brooke]

Godspeed. All right, good luck, my little battle ax.

[Jeffrey]

All right, good luck, Brooke. Here we go.

[Megan]

Hello.

[Brooke]

Hi, is this Megan?

[Megan]

Yes, this is Megan. Who's this?

[Brooke]

Hi, Megan. This is Brooke. I'm from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Megan]

Oh, yeah, hi.

[Brooke]

You're on the. You're on the show right now, Megan, because your boyfriend is a listener of ours.

[Megan]

Oh, okay. So what's going on?

[Brooke]

Well.

[Jeffrey]

What'S going on, bro?

[Brooke]

Yeah, so Jack wrote into the show because Jack is having troubles, we'll say, communicating a pretty clear message that he wants to share with you. And he asked for specifically my help. Yeah. Okay, so the good is that it sounds like you're an incredibly strong, independent woman who knows exactly what she wants in life. And I love that applause. Okay, so silence. That's fine. That's fine. The bad news. There is some bad news to that is that Jack is none of those things. And you may already know that you're.

[Jeffrey]

Talking about a boyfriend there.

[Brooke]

I mean, he's calling me to ask for a hard help in a hard conversation.

[Megan]

Yeah, I'm listening.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

You're doing great.

[Sponsor/Announcer]

Keep going.

[Jeffrey]

He's going so well.

[Brooke]

He feels like this relationship, the relationship between you and him isn't working anymore. So he feels like it would be better if you two went your separate ways. Okay.

[Megan]

I don't know what you're doing, but we're not breaking up. It's not happening. So thanks for the Call.

[Brooke]

No, no, you are. You are breaking up. Like, it's not. There's no choice in it.

[Jeffrey]

You tell her, bro.

[Brooke]

Jack is exiting the relationship. He is no longer in a relationship with you.

[Megan]

You know, if what you're saying is even true, and I'm not being pranked or something, that totally wastes my time. Maybe do something actually helpful and smart and make him tell me himself. You know, grow some balls and talk to me instead of hiding behind some on the radio.

[Jeffrey]

You know what?

[Brooke]

Actually, I actually told him that. I mean, I used different words, but I. You said that a lot. You know, I was. I was like, come on, you can't do this yourself. Like, it doesn't make any sense. Why would you.

[Megan]

Yeah, clearly you can't do it either.

[Brooke]

No, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. The problem is, is that he apparently has tried to have this conversation with you before, and it sounds like you may have told them no then as well.

[Megan]

Okay, I don't know you, but you sound like a real pathetic loser.

[Brooke]

That's fine. But you do. That's fine. I mean, honestly, I could take those sh.

[Megan]

Shut up for a second. Does this make you feel good about yourself? Does it make you feel powerful? You're truly sad?

[Brooke]

No, I'm not trying to be good or powerful. I'm just trying to help Jack out because.

[Megan]

Oh, yeah, that's not your job to help him out.

[Brooke]

Well, it is, because we do a radio show. We do a lot of relationship stuff.

[Megan]

It's none of your business. This shouldn't even be happening right now. You have no part in this.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, Brooke, you're getting kind of steamy.

[Brooke]

I mean, I don't want to have any part in it, but.

[Megan]

Well, clearly you do, because this is what you're doing and you've decided to do that.

[Brooke]

Just wait. He told me that you guys were on and off for a long time before you started an exclusive relationship, which is already great.

[Megan]

Good job. You heard him.

[Brooke]

Okay, and he also told me that, like, there's no action. Like, he said that it's like.

[Megan]

Oh, my God. You shut the up. That is not any of your business.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Brooke]

What?

[Megan]

This is not something that has to be discussed publicly. The fact that you would even bring that up is disgusting.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you know what?

[Brooke]

Like, that's not gross.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sorry, Megan, can I step in? I'm the Jeffrey. Part of the Brooke and Jeffrey in the show. And I. I apologize that my co host took it way too far there. That was super uncalled for.

[Brooke]

Can I just talk for a second?

[Jeffrey]

You've been talking and it hasn't been going. This is obviously different than how we thought it would go. And I heard Megan say that she wants to.

[Brooke]

Really?

[Megan]

You thought it was going to be a piece of cake, a walk in the park? You're going to call up and say that my boyfriend wants to break up with me? He's not even here. Where is he?

[Jeffrey]

No, we were hopelessly optimistic it would go that way, but you want to hear it straight from Jack? And the good news is Jack is on the other line waiting to jump in on J.

[Brooke]

He's there. He's there.

[Jeffrey]

Jack, your girlfriend is. Can't wait to speak to you. Go for it.

[Megan]

Jack. What the is going on here?

[Jack]

Oh, hey, Megan.

[Megan]

Is this a joke?

[Brooke]

Please tell me.

[Jack]

I'm being like right now.

[Megan]

What's going on?

[Jack]

Okay, wait. Let's just hold on here. I honestly, I really don't know what's going on because I just asked her to talk to you, but I don't know why she's, like, being so mean and abrupt.

[Brooke]

She's got to be able to go back and listen to the podcast. Like, you fully clearly asked me to dump your girlfriend, but right now it's really funny.

[Jeffrey]

What's that, Megan?

[Megan]

What did you want her to say to me, Jack? What was the whole point of this, then? Yeah, this is completely out of hand.

[Jeffrey]

It's interesting.

[Jack]

Well, I mean, I just wanted to, like, see where the relationship is at.

[Brooke]

Oh, God. Odd. Honestly, Megan, why are you not dumping him? You should not be in a position where you're getting dumped by Jack.

[Megan]

Okay, can you just talk? Someone. Someone mute. Brooke, or whatever her name is, just.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Brooke, this isn't your relationship. This is their relationship. Don't tell them what they are and aren't and can and can't be.

[Jack]

You're like, Megan's a really good person, and I. Yeah, I didn't say she.

[Brooke]

Wasn'T a good person.

[Jack]

Well, you kind of implied that.

[Brooke]

No, Jack, I implied that you were the loser in the relationship.

[Jeffrey]

That's so much better.

[Brooke]

Okay, what is happening?

[Jack]

Megan, I'm sorry. I just. I did not think she was gonna come after you like that.

[Megan]

Yeah, it sounds like Brooke's the one who needs to get laid. Just clearly, she's missing out in the bedroom.

[Jeffrey]

She knows a lot about sexual health. She diagnosed you.

[Brooke]

This guy isn't even. This is a very unhealthy.

[Jeffrey]

So we came in with the goal to have a tough, difficult conversation, and we definitely did this was one of the toughest conversations Brooks ever had. Jack, I know you said your girlfriend was a little intense. I'm not hearing it. But in the long run, I hope that you two are able to go home and talk this out and get to whatever destination you want to be at in your relationship.

[Brooke]

You guys should not be together.

[Jeffrey]

Why you keep jumping in and saying that?

[Brooke]

Because of how we started all of this.

[Megan]

Jack, we're gonna talk tonight, and if this is something that you put them up to, tell me to my face. Okay?

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's gonna happen, honey bear.

[Jack]

Of course, of course. And you know I would never do something like that.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I'm going to call this a successful edition of Brooke breaks you up. It's called that as an option. By the way, if you're listening, I'm.

[Brooke]

Positive they're still together.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Brooke]

I was actually on one. Like I was doing a good job until he came back in. Like that was the worst mistake we could have ever made.

[Jeffrey]

I didn't have your back after that.

[Brooke]

And I'll tell you, I feel a little bad about how harsh I was to him.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I don't think it's any surprise that he turned on you because you were basically spending the whole time being like, he's such a loser. Why would you want that?

[Brooke]

Was actually my favorite part of the whole call.

[Jeffrey]

We're doing it for the greater good.

[Brooke]

Well, I just starting to think the strong women aren't the problem in this situation. It's the weak man.

[Jeffrey]

Well, that's always an issue. Yeah. But you know what was good to hear Jack stand up and defend his girlfriend's honor against mean old evil Brooke when she turned on it. That was good. Yeah, he grew a spine right before our very eyes.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

So in a way, you did like God's work there, Brooke. That was beautiful.

[Brooke]

All I can feel good about thinking is that maybe he did have the realization that he actually wanted to be in the relationship with her after listening.

[Jeffrey]

No, No, I think he's literally trapped.

[Brooke]

He's just scared.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he's gonna be handcuffed.

[Brooke]

Oh, I'm trying here, Jose. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

We can't wait to hear down the road where they get married against his will one day.
