Brooke Breaks You Up: Holiday Edition

Summary

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Episode: "Brooke Breaks You Up: Holiday Edition" (December 18, 2025)

---

Overview

In this special holiday edition of "Brooke Breaks You Up," the popular Brooke and Jeffrey morning show tackles the delicate art of breaking up and making up—just in time for Christmas. The episode is divided into two main segments: first, Brooke delivers a breakup on behalf of a listener before the holidays; then, in a surprising twist, she's tasked with reuniting an ex-couple for Christmas. With Brooke’s signature wit and the group’s lively banter, the episode is filled with humor, cringe, and a surprising amount of (awkward) heart.

2. The Breakup: Reisha and Shane

The Listener’s Letter ([04:57])

• Reisha asks Brooke to break up with her boyfriend, Shane, before Christmas:
  • Her family doesn’t like him; he got drunk last Christmas, insulted their tree (calling it "dollar store chic"), pole-danced with it, and fell.

Brooke’s Reluctance & Mandate

• Brooke expresses discomfort about repeatedly being the designated breaker-upper.
• Jeffrey reminds her, “Your years of casual promiscuity have made you an expert at this” ([04:22]).

The Actual Breakup Call ([06:55] – [10:53])

• Shane, believing he's joined a radio contest, is ambushed with the breakup live on-air.
• Shane takes it poorly, cycling from disbelief ("Is this a phone tap?" [08:41]) to sarcastic resignation.

  "Okay, yeah, great idea, Brooke. You know what I'll do? I'll do a drinking game where I take a shot every time you call me buddy."

• Brooke tries (somewhat awkwardly) to comfort him, encouraging him to “live it up through the holidays," and roast the family’s "dollar store chic tree.”
• The crew debates the pain and necessity of tough breakups, with Brooke stating, “It always ends bad. It sucks for one person. And unfortunately that person is Shane.”

  "Screw you guys."

3. The Reunion: Jay and Jenna

Setup ([12:20])

• Text feedback comes in: listeners are, unsurprisingly, traumatized by Brooke’s breakup.
• Jeffrey offers Brooke a shot at redemption: help a listener reunite with an ex for the holidays.

Jay’s Story ([13:01])

• Jay (formerly Kenny) reaches out, hoping Brooke can convince his ex Jenna to take him back:
  • They dated for 3 years.
  • Jay says he loved her intelligence, their conversations, and her supportiveness.
  • They broke up 8 months prior, mainly because Jay became obsessed with European soccer, spent early mornings at bars, and neglected Jenna.
  • Since then, Jay claims personal growth—getting back into the gym, joining a book club, and even changing his name to “Jay” (inspired by The Great Gatsby, Jenna’s favorite book).

The Call to Jenna ([16:25])

• Jenna is surprised and a bit bewildered when Brooke calls her live.
• Brooke compliments Jenna, hinting someone from her past wants her back. Jenna guesses it might be Kenny.
• Memorable Exchange:
  • Brooke ([17:10]): “They just can’t stop thinking about you.”
  • Jenna ([17:16]): “Is this one of my co-workers? ‘Cause I’m thinking about two really cute ones.”
  • Brooke ([17:24]): “No, better than your co-worker because it’s someone you have loved in your life.”
• Brooke reveals Jay’s name change and efforts at self-improvement, tying the Gatsby motif back to their relationship.
• Jenna ([18:31]): “What is happening? Are you serious?”
• Jay, unmuted, makes his plea:

  “Honey, I can’t do another Christmas without you. I just can’t. You know I need you in my life, and you know I’ve made all these changes, and I’ll do anything for you.” ([18:48])

Jenna’s Response ([19:35])

• Jenna is moved, noting that Jay seems to be making real changes and “the love never died.”
• She agrees to give Jay another chance:

  “I’m willing to try.” ([20:03])

[C]

There's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual.

[E]

Even if it means playing in a football game.

[A]

Boom.

[E]

42. You're going down, Doug.

[A]

Oh yeah.

[C]

Your price on car insurance when you customize and save is going down.

[E]

Hey.

[C]

Limu.

[A]

What are you doing on their team?

[E]

Only pay for what you [e-mail] Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Normally at this time we'll do second date updates, closure calls, textual healings. It's a fun time, but today we're doing none of those.

[A]

Oh, oh, okay.

[E]

Instead, there's a big surprise waiting for someone in this room.

[A]

Oh, is it me?

[E]

They have no idea it's coming.

[A]

I hate surprises on this show.

[E]

And you know it's big. Cause we're actually putting it right in the middle. Middle of our show.

[A]

Oh, my God. Nice.

[E]

Slotting it in at the end. After one of Brook's potato endorsements, you're going to find out who gets the big surprise. Is it a big potato? No spoilers. It's coming up right after this. Welcome back to Brooke breaks you up.

[A]

Oh, no.

[E]

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning welcome.

[A]

Nobody wanted this back.

[E]

Everybody wants.

[C]

Are you kidding?

[E]

It's one of the highest rated segments we've done all year. And we did it once. How are we not gonna do a sequel for it?

[A]

It's like, I've been dumped and dumped people so many times in my life. Do I have to keep doing that?

[E]

That's what makes you an expert at this.

[A]

That's why I got married, so I didn't have to do it anymore.

[E]

This time, we're switching it up. Cause it's Brooke breaks you up holiday edition during Christmas. For our listeners who may not be familiar with the segment, breaking up with someone's not an easy thing to do.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

Good night.

[E]

Especially during Christmas. It's awkward, it's messy, but sometimes it is absolutely necessary. So why do it yourself when you can have Brooke do it?

[B]

Yay.

[E]

Her years of casual promiscuity have made her an expert on telling people. Yeah, it's not really working out. You got what you wanted, and now you should probably move on and get yourself tested.

[A]

It's an important conversation, so.

[E]

I know.

[A]

Don't waste your time. Don't waste your pretty.

[E]

Brooke. This is a little bit of a surprise to you, but we did get an email from a listener. I printed it out.

[A]

And.

[E]

And I want you to be the one who reads it.

[B]

Where is it?

[E]

Okay, okay.

[A]

Our producer is handing it to me.

[E]

This is a listener of ours who needs your help.

[A]

Okay, I'll read the letter, Jeff.

[E]

Okay.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

That's the spirit. Brooke. What does it say?

[A]

It says, hi, Brooke and Jeffrey. My name is Reisha. I heard a segment you did called Brooke breaks you up, and I really need your help to ditch my boyfriend, Shane. Oh, no. Before Christmas.

[E]

And she thought.

[A]

I mean, you don't want to waste your money on a gift. Okay. Yeah. Background. My family officially does not like him. Oh, well, this is gonna be easier already. That's easier. That helps. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's tough on a relationship. He came over last year and had way too much eggnog. Insulted my parents Christmas tree. Oh, no. Called it dollar store chic.

[E]

Oh, kind of a sick burn there.

[A]

Ended up pole dancing with it and then fell on top of it. How crazy. And you dated.

[E]

It sounds like one of your exes. Brooke.

[A]

Dude, this is not the first time he's done dumb stuff. Dumb stuff is capitalized in this letter. Okay, He's a good guy, but it's time for him to finally grow up and for me to move on to somebody else. I tend to shy away from tough conversations. That's why I really need you to do the dirty work and break up with him for me.

[E]

So the reason is he's dumb and does dumb stuff. That's not.

[A]

I mean, he insulted her entire family. No, I get it.

[E]

But is that what you're gonna say?

[A]

Brooke. The letter ends, you're the best. Brooke.

[C]

Brooke.

[E]

There is a woman in need during the holiday. You're not going to be a scrooge and throw her out into the snow, are you?

[A]

The problem with dumb boys is they don't get it. That is the issue. But it's better than a nice, innocent guy I know.

[E]

Well, we don't have a lot of time. We do have her boyfriend Shane already on the line right now.

[A]

He is.

[E]

He's not heard any of this, so we got to get right to the call. Let's punch up Shane.

[C]

Yes.

[E]

We have to do it, bro. You're ready and we're just going to let you do your thing. We told him that it was a radio station contest thing. We had to get.

[B]

A new pole.

[A]

For him to dance on me.

[E]

So here we go. Let's do it. Let's punch him up.

[A]

Doing it, huh?

[E]

Shane, you there?

[C]

Hello?

[E]

Hey, Shane, you're on Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[C]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Am I actually on air? This is crazy.

[E]

And one one member of the show has been dying to talk to you.

[B]

Oh, no.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Hi, Shane, it's Brooke.

[C]

Oh, my God. I listen to your podcast all the time. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that this is so embarrassing, but you are my favorite person on the show.

[E]

Oh, really? She's mine, too, bro. That's awesome.

[A]

That's interesting. Shane.

[C]

I got. Listen, I got all my friends listening to you guys. I got my girlfriend listening to you guys.

[A]

You know, Shane, that's why we're calling. I don't mean to interrupt you, but we're calling because your girlfriend contacted us.

[C]

Wait a minute. Is this trivia? Am I. I bet I could beat you at trivia.

[E]

I set you up for a trivia game. We're not doing the trivia game with Brooke right now. This is something else.

[A]

This is a little more serious. You could turn it into trivia.

[E]

We don't have a lot of time so we gotta just get to it real quick.

[A]

Shade, I don't know how to tell you this, buddy. You seem like such a nice guy. You seem like you have great energy and I love to hear that you have such a good friend group. That is gonna be crucial right now.

[C]

O okay, what's happening?

[A]

Okay, here's the thing, Shane. Reisha wrote us and we do this terrible segment. It's called Brooke breaks you up and I'm Brooke and that's what I'm calling to do because wait, Richa wrote in and she said she didn't know what I'd tell you because she didn't want to hurt you. Obviously this is going to hurt you. There's no way around that. But it's just your guys relationship is run its course.

[C]

Wait a second. Is this a phone tap? You had me. That's so cruel.

[A]

What did I say?

[E]

I mean, he knows the show. You can't blame him for that.

[A]

Listen, Shane, she told us all about the Christmas tree and you getting too drunk at Christmas last year. And I mean like a pole. I'm going to be honest, like her family, not a huge fan.

[C]

Wait, this isn't a joke?

[A]

No, it's not a joke, buddy. I'm sorry.

[C]

So you're really doing this, Brooke? You're breaking up with me for her?

[A]

I think that she just thought it would be easier for you if it came from somebody you trusted and loved.

[C]

You don't love me.

[A]

I don't mean that like I love love you. I mean like, like you're a fan of the show.

[E]

This isn't going well, Shane.

[A]

Breakups never go well, Jeff. It always ends bad. It sucks for one person. And unfortunately that person is Shane. And listen, Shane, you live it up through the holidays. You drink as much eggnog as you want and you go ahead and talk about their stupid family dollar store chic tree that they have. You don't want to be part of that family anyway.

[C]

Okay, yeah, great idea, Brooke. You know what I'll do? I'll do a drinking game where I take a shot every time you call me buddy.

[A]

Oh, I only did that once. I didn't know you were like that. I felt bad.

[E]

Brooke has alienated not one, but two of our listeners while doing one a favor. Wow, bro.

[A]

Shane, why two?

[E]

You just crapped on Reacha and her whole Family.

[A]

I just say Richard understands. Like, if you're going to get over a breakup, you got to not feel good about. Yeah, there's anger. Let's.

[E]

Let's stop trying to justify our past behavior. Shane, I am sorry that Brooke did this to you during the holiday season. And I know this is probably weird to ask, but hopefully Brooke's still your favorite on the show.

[A]

Don't ask that. Don't ask that.

[E]

I hope so.

[C]

That Shane, if she was, it was only because the other two are so low on the totem pole that she still somehow maintains a lead.

[E]

Oh yeah, Alexis. Yeah, I feel that energy. I'm sorry, man. Try and have a good holidays. We do feel really bad. We got to hang up though.

[A]

Okay, Just going to hang up. Like, just tell him something nice.

[E]

Okay? You can move in with Brooke and her family for the holidays.

[A]

Shane, you're going to be fine. Okay? You don't need Richard. He can give you a keychain.

[E]

Maybe radio station swag. We will send some your way, but whatever.

[C]

Screw you guys.

[E]

Okay. I was mostly directed towards Brooke. I feel like that was definitely a tough one.

[C]

Well deserved.

[A]

When are they ever going to be good?

[E]

That's kind of your job to make it good.

[A]

It's not going to happen.

[E]

Someone will be.

[A]

Right?

[C]

Not with that.

[E]

Someday, like, oh, I want to break up with them too. Thank you. Listen.

[A]

Okay, the one in a thousand.

[E]

It was tough, but it is the holiday season. Okay, so Brooke breaks you up for the holidays. And Brooke also gets you back together. That's why I have a surprise for her coming up next. Two people are on the line. One wants to get back together with the other.

[A]

Oh no.

[E]

Brooke is.

[A]

I don't think that's a good idea either.

[E]

It's happening. Brooke is going to get you back together for the holidays. Coming up. Up right after this, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And if you were just listening a couple minutes ago. Yeah, you heard Brooke breaks you up before Christmas. And you're not gonna believe this. Brooke?

[A]

Yes.

[E]

But people on the text board weren't 100% thrilled.

[A]

Oh, shocking. Guess what? People who aren't happy. I'm not either.

[E]

Oh, it's not very nice to yell back at the people who aren't happy. They're just giving us feedback on the show.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[E]

One person even said, I need to tell my therapist about what Brooke just did, cuz that traumatized me forever. And that's from your son, Adler. But it's good that he already has a therapist, so.

[A]

Well, we started young in our family, you know.

[E]

Thing is, we may first word. Get the therapist. We may have a chance for redemption for you, Brooke. Cuz now you have the opportunity to bring two exes back together for the holidays. You do not want to go 0 for 2 today. And that's no.

[A]

Because the thing is, is if I fail this, then I'm an even bigger jerk. Wait, we have two exes that already want to get back together? Or we have one ex who wants to get back together.

[E]

One guy wants you to help him get back together. Jay is hoping that you can work some magic today. He emailed the show looking for Brooke's help. Let's punch him up. Hey, Jay. Welcome to Brooke gets you back together for the holidays.

[C]

Hey, how y' all doing?

[A]

We don't have a lot of time here. I need a quick. I mean, honestly, I need a quick rundown of. Give me three highlights of the relationship and why it ended.

[C]

Oh, wow.

[A]

Wait, wait, wait.

[E]

Let's start with her name so Brooke can write it down and not forget it like she did with the last.

[A]

That would be important. That I would really blow it if I called her the wrong guy.

[E]

What's your ex's name?

[C]

Jenna.

[E]

Jenna.

[A]

Jenna. Okay, write it down.

[E]

Brooke.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

How long were you and Jenna together?

[C]

Three years.

[A]

Okay. In those three years, what did you love about Jenna and your relationship?

[C]

I loved that she was a book reader, so she was very knowledgeable.

[E]

She could read.

[A]

That's nice. Yeah. Okay, so what did you love about your relationship together?

[C]

She had a lot to talk about.

[A]

Interesting.

[E]

Chatty Cathy.

[A]

Go ahead, write it down.

[C]

And then she was supportive.

[E]

Honestly did everything for him. Okay, good.

[D]

That's good.

[A]

That's hard to find. Sweet. This is all so sweet, actually. I want you guys to be back together. Why did it end? This is what I want to know.

[C]

Listen, I got really into watching European soccer. And since I play in Europe, I'd be going to bars at like five in the morning to watch a match, to drink. And it just wasn't healthy.

[E]

She wasn't coming with you to the bars at 5am to support you in your hobbies.

[A]

I was full though, for those games at the bars. Luki, I'm having a hard time believing that you. She dumped you because you liked European soccer too much.

[C]

I didn't. I guess I didn't pay enough attention to her and so she broke up with me eight months ago.

[A]

Oh, listen to that maturity though. And the realization.

[E]

What's changed in the last eight months from then until now?

[C]

Well, you know, I got back into the gym. I'm even doing a book club. Cause I know she loves books.

[A]

Oh, wow, that is so cute. Does this have to do with the soccer season ending or. Alexis, we don't need those details.

[C]

Honestly, I'm not a huge reader. But it's me showing her that I want to talk to her more about stuff, and I want to do things that she likes.

[A]

Okay. And better yourself. I love this.

[C]

Yeah. I even changed my name. It used to be Kenny.

[A]

What?

[C]

But I.

[A]

Wait.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Wait, what?

[A]

The name. Why would you change your name? Kenneth.

[E]

Now his name is Jay, remember?

[A]

Oh, shoot. I wrote Jetta down. I didn't write his name.

[E]

Okay, his name is J.

[C]

You know? But listen, listen, that's amazing. But I changed it to J. Like Gatsby, you know, that's one of her favorite books.

[A]

Oh, the Great Gatsby.

[E]

Is that his name?

[C]

And he changed his name to Jay in the book as well, to create a new, like, a better identity for himself.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

And that's what I want to do, you know, for love.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

When did you change your name? Is she gonna learn this?

[A]

Yeah, we call her.

[C]

She doesn't know that I changed my name yet, so.

[A]

Kenny is important here, Brooke.

[E]

So you are going to be the one to tell her for the first time he change his name for her.

[C]

Yeah, Please.

[E]

Like, yeah.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

If you can't be convinced to give me another chance, especially before the holidays, because it's been three years since I spent one single and not having her.

[A]

Oh, you broke up eight months ago, so this is your first holiday by yourself.

[E]

Okay, got it. So we're running out of time. We do already have Jenna on the phone right now.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

She's been waiting to talk to us. She just doesn't know why she's on the phone yet. She has not been hearing any of this. So we're going to punch her up and let you talk to her. Okay.

[A]

Brooke? Yeah, I'm ready.

[E]

All right, Jay, Jay, we're going to pot you down, and we're gonna punch up Jenna. Here we go. Brooke. Go ahead, talk to her.

[A]

Hi, Jenna, It's Brooke from Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[C]

Hi, how are you?

[A]

So good. Welcome to the show. I think we have fantastic news for you.

[C]

Oh, okay. Great big promise. Okay.

[A]

I do think that because, like. Okay, so we've heard you're single. Is that true?

[C]

Yes, that is true.

[A]

Okay. And the person we heard that from is someone who definitely does not want you to be single. Someone who is very interested in you.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

And I know we have never met before, but they said that you're super smart, you're really interesting, you have so much to talk about and add to a relationship. They just can't stop thinking of you.

[E]

Not in a creepy way, no.

[A]

In a positive way. In, like, the cutest way ever. Because you actually know this person.

[C]

Is this one of my co workers? Because, oh, my gosh, I'm thinking about two really cute ones.

[A]

Oh, no, no, better. Better than your co worker because it's someone that you have loved in your life.

[C]

Oh, wow.

[A]

And they realize that maybe in your relationship that you had with them before, they didn't pay enough attention to you, and they're really regretful of that.

[C]

Wait, is this Kenny?

[A]

Well, technically, it used to be Kenny.

[E]

Kenny's dead.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

No, no, listen, listen. Kenny has trans.

[E]

His personality died.

[A]

Yes. I'm literally saying that because he is doing everything in his power to show you and himself that he is a new, improved person. Even he's gone so far as to change his name. So Kenny. Kenny is now J. And Jay is awesome.

[C]

I am so confused. Why would he do that?

[A]

He's a thoughtful guy. I mean, he's gone so far as to. Not only did he start a book club, but he remembered that your favorite book or one of your favorite books was the Great Gatsby. So that's why he chose the name Jay. Because that is a character who transforms in that book.

[C]

What is happening? Are you serious?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

He likes you. He just wants to try it one more time.

[E]

Can you say that higher pitch, Brooke?

[A]

No. Kenny can, though. Or Jay. Jay, tell her.

[C]

Yeah, I want you back.

[A]

Oh, a little more romantic than that, my man.

[C]

Yeah. Honey, honey, this. This is. You know, I can't do another Christmas without you. I just can't. You know I need you in my life. And you know I've made all these changes and I'll do anything for you.

[E]

He totally didn't read that out of a book, by the way. That was from the heart. He's being romantic.

[C]

I don't even know what to say right now.

[E]

Wait, listen, I know this is probably really overwhelming. Jenna, we kind of blindsided you with this with your ex boyfriend, but.

[A]

No, I want an answer, Jeff.

[E]

Well, that's what I'm getting to is the name of this segment is Brooke gets you back together for Christmas. So we're hoping that you are going to be open to getting back with your new and improved ex, Jay. What do you think, Jenna? Are you willing to give your Ex another shot.

[C]

Well, I mean, he sounds like he's making really good choices, and that was the reason we broke up was that he wasn't. So the love never died.

[E]

They say a lot of it is timing, so maybe this is the time.

[A]

Dude, he's ready. He's ready.

[C]

I mean, I. I think I am. I'm willing to try.

[E]

Well, congratulations. It sounds like you too.

[A]

This is so cute.

[E]

You're gonna at least meet and see how it feels. And if it works out, then 100% of the credit goes to Brooke.

[A]

Thank you, Jeffrey.

[E]

Yeah, Jeff will refuse to never call you back, so we never know.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[E]

How does that sound?

[C]

It sounds great.

[A]

Oh, my God. You two are so cute that I guarantee there's thousands of listeners texting their ex right now, which always a good idea. I'm just warning that.

[C]

Hey, would you mind calling me by my new name? Like, I just. I would love to hear it. J. Oh, okay.

[A]

She went deep.

[C]

Oh, I love that.

[E]

Okay, we better hang up with on the phone before.

[A]

Oh, my goodness.

[E]

I just get out of control. Would have been sexier if he had more vowels in his name.

[A]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

And Doug, what a horrible call. Hey, ref. Open your eyes, ref. You're really not gonna call that? Come on.

[C]

Hey, ref, why don't you customize your.

[E]

Car insurance with Liberty Mutual and save money? I don't think you get what we're doing. Sure I do. We're all just giving him advice. You guys on sports, me on saving money. Nope, that's not it. Only pay for what you [e-mail] Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty.

[A]

Well, another one in the bag. Yep. That was Brooke breaks you up. And I have a lot of mixed feelings about this segment. I don't love doing it often. Yeah. But I also think that, like, if you're not meant to be with someone, you should break it off. Like, I hate when I've watched friends stay in relationships that aren't going anywhere, and I'm like, you're wasting your time. You're wasting your pretty. Move on.

[E]

No, she's gonna stop cheating on me after the fourth time.

[A]

Brooke. Yeah. So I, you know, as sad as it can be, I also think that it's usually for the best. What do you prefer doing? Brooke breaks you up or Brooke gets you back together?

[E]

I don't know. I like Brooke in the middle of the int. Moment. I want you in the middle.

[A]

Brooke helps with your intimate life. That's Brooke wakes up with you in the morning. Yeah. The next morning. Yeah. Just me in the middle. I like that. Did we get any comments? Yes, we did. Someone said, whoever came up with this segment, genius, you need a raise. Let's slow it down a little bit. Someone said, please get Alexis to break someone up. Which, let me tell you, you would end up married or not. I feel like you just probably move cities. Yeah. You could change.

[B]

I'll be.

[A]

Change your name, new identity, location, sneak out in the middle of the night. I like it. Yeah. Well, there it is. Definitely leave your comments and hit that subscribe button. Thanks for being here. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
