Introduction to the Episode Theme

In this episode of Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update, hosts Brooke and Jeffrey dive into the often unpredictable world of dating mishaps. Setting the tone with a call for listeners to share their worst date jokes or pranks, the episode promises a mix of humor and heartfelt insights into the complexities of modern relationships.

Justin's Story: The Prank and the Incident

The spotlight soon shifts to a listener named Justin, who recounts his unconventional and ultimately disastrous date with a woman named Tracy. The date begins on a playful note as Justin attempts to inject humor into their mini-golf outing.

Justin shares:
"We actually met on Hinge, and we had been chatting for a while, and then we decided to go out play mini golf, something that we both were into. And, you know, it's kind of interactive. It's easy."
[05:14]

Seeking to add excitement, Justin hides behind a fake mountain during the game, intending to surprise Tracy. However, the prank backfires when Tracy, thinking Justin has ditched her due to a past pattern of being left on dates, becomes visibly upset.

Justin explains:
"At one point, I decided to play a joke on her. So when she turned around to putt, I hid behind one of those fake mountains that they have, and I was back there for a bit, and she was calling my name."
[06:01]

The Aftermath: Tracy's Avoidance

Despite the rocky start, Justin and Tracy manage to salvage the evening by returning to her apartment, sharing drinks, and even sharing a kiss before parting ways the next morning. However, Justin notices that Tracy begins to avoid him afterward, leaving him puzzled and seeking answers.

Live Call-In: Tracy Reveals the Truth

Brooke and Jeffrey take the story live, bringing Tracy to the airwaves to uncover why she's steering clear of Justin post-date. In a dramatic twist, Tracy reveals unexpected information that changes the narrative entirely.

Tracy confesses:
"He slashed his own tire so that he could come and stay with me."
[14:46]

Further investigation through surveillance footage confirms Justin's confession, showing him intentionally damaging his tire to extend his time with Tracy. This revelation shocks both the hosts and Tracy, leading to a heated discussion about Justin's motives and the implications of his actions.

Tracy elaborates:
"He slashed his own tire so that he could come and stay with me?"
[14:46]

Justin defends himself:
"It was probably one of the best dates I've had in a really long time. And that's why I did it. I wanted to spend more time together. We got to hang out the next morning, that is."
[16:09]

Despite Justin's attempts to rationalize his behavior as romantic and creative, Tracy remains unimpressed and disturbed by his actions.

Analysis and Reactions

Brooke and Jeffrey offer their candid opinions on Justin's tactics, labeling them as manipulative and creepy. They emphasize that such extreme measures are not the foundation for a healthy relationship.

Jeffrey criticizes:
"It was just so manipulative, Justin."
[17:12]

Justin tries to downplay the severity of his actions, suggesting that others engage in similarly extreme behaviors to win over partners. However, the hosts remain skeptical, highlighting the inappropriateness and potential danger of his methods.

Justin argues:
"Guys do crazy things all the time so they can spend time with girls. Like not that crazy."
[17:21]

Conclusion and Lessons Learned

The episode wraps up with Brooke and Jeffrey reinforcing the importance of honesty and respect in dating. They encourage listeners to avoid manipulative tactics and instead focus on genuine connections.

Brooke remarks humorously:
"We need to write a book on unique ways to woo a woman."
[20:10]

Jeffrey adds with a laugh, underscoring the comedic yet cautionary tale of Justin's ill-fated date:
"Honestly, this is one of them."
[16:48]

Ultimately, Justin's story serves as a humorous yet poignant reminder of the lengths some might go to in the quest for love, and the importance of transparency and mutual respect in building meaningful relationships.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, welcome to a brand new second date podcast with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We're so glad you found us. Yes. On a Friday. Hey, we want to hear in the comments the worst joke or prank somebody's tried to pull on you during a date. Oh, yeah, because that is definitely the theme of at least the first half of our second date update. Like trying to be flirty and ends up bad. Ye. One time I like. I don't know why. Okay, don't get me wrong, but I hit a guy's phone out of his hand and it hit his front tooth and chipped it and it broke.

[Jose]

Stop it. Yep.

[Jeffrey]

Nope. I'm dead serious. Yeah.

[Justin]

Yep. Yep.

[Jeffrey]

In college, did you end up dating that guy? I did. So, you know, at least it worked out for a little bit.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Did he dump you after he finally got his tooth? Fakes. And you look better. Yeah, Right? Is that why he broke up with you? Yeah. That's it. That's it. Okay. Oh, you got a full set. Yeah.

[Jose]

All right.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, we want to hear your horror story. Put them in the comments. Thanks so much for being here. Please, like, follow, subscribe, share, do all the things. Yes. And let's get this second date started.

[Jose]

Second date update. You guys know the term double date, where you go out on a date along with, like, maybe a friend of yours who also has a date with them? Wow, two dates at the same time.

[Jeffrey]

I think everybody knows what a double date is.

[Jose]

Yeah, I'M glad that everybody's on the same page, because one of our listeners, Justin, went on a different kind of double date where he saw the same girl twice in one night.

[Jeffrey]

You mean he went on two dates in one night? I don't know.

[Jose]

Yeah, a double date. Exactly.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. It's a movie, second date update. Then we'd be too close to that. So. Okay, we'll go with yours.

[Jose]

Yeah, it's a different twist on the term, and I'm just curious. There you go. Justin, what did she say when you snuck up behind her as she was trying to get into her car?

[Jeffrey]

I think he's joking. I think.

[Justin]

Yeah, it didn't really work out that way.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, good, good.

[Jose]

Okay. You double date differently than I do. So I guess start from beginning of your first part of the day. What's this girl's name?

[Justin]

Her name is Tracy.

[Jeffrey]

Tracy. Okay. And how did you arrange the first hangout?

[Justin]

We actually met on Hinge, and we had been chatting for a while, and then we decided to go out play mini golf, something that we both were into. And, you know, it's kind of interactive. It's easy.

[Jose]

I apologize for my female host. She's not really a fan of fun.

[Jeffrey]

No, it's just often people don't describe themselves as into mini golf. You know what I mean? Like, you do it, but you're not into it.

[Justin]

You throw the idea out, and people.

[Jose]

Go, oh, that sounds fun, but no one's like, oh, my God, I did nine rounds last week.

[Jeffrey]

I'm so ready for our day.

[Jose]

Justin, would you like to apologize for the way that you worded that to us?

[Justin]

I guess when I brought up the idea she was into it. I was.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we get it. We get it. I just tease India a little bit.

[Jose]

Yeah, we're just going to make this as difficult as possible. So keep going. We'll keep roasting you.

[Justin]

Perfect. So we had a good time. Honestly, we, like, played for a while. At one point, I decided to play a joke on her. So when she turned around to putt, I hid behind one of those fake mountains that they have, and I was back there for a bit, and she was calling my name.

[Jeffrey]

You hid from her?

[Justin]

I heard her say, did I seriously just get ditched again on a date?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, again.

[Jose]

That's what I heard.

[Jeffrey]

Sad.

[Jose]

Like, this has happened to her before.

[Jeffrey]

You can't jump out and yell surprise after she says that out loud.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Jose]

Now you actually have to leave. You hear him leave, like, right away. So what'd you do?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Justin]

I felt really Bad. But I was still having fun, so I just kind of came out and surprised her. She definitely was a bit put off at first, I think.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Justin]

But she started laughing regardless. I think it was a funny moment.

[Jeffrey]

She was angry and embarrassed, but it was funny.

[Jose]

Yeah, well, she must have felt really relieved to find out that she wasn't actually getting ditched. So the only place for this date to go is up from here. Also, in your defense, bro, you didn't know that she had been left on dates before, and you weren't trying to trigger anything. You were just having fun.

[Jeffrey]

Is it funny? Regardless, it was a good attempt.

[Justin]

So, yeah, like, it wasn't really like, that thought out. It kind of was in the moment type of thing.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, obviously she did finally laugh about it.

[Justin]

Yeah. After she stopped crying. She laughed about it.

[Jose]

She was crying.

[Justin]

No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

[Jose]

Oh, your sense of humor is. It's even darker than mine. So. Okay. All right.

[Jeffrey]

So was that like, the middle of the night, or did you have a lot of hangout time after that?

[Justin]

So after that, we ended up going back to her apartment, and we hung out. We had some drinks, and towards the end, she was a bit tired. She had a long day. So we just kind of wrapped things up and we planned to see each other again. So I went outside, I get to my car, and I realized someone slashed my tire.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Jose]

Oh, God. Oh, what? Maybe she was pranking you back. Oh, that is not a prank.

[Jeffrey]

Slashed your tire. Do you have, like, a crazy ex or something out there? Yeah. Cause that's, like, serious.

[Justin]

No, not that I know of.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Jose]

Oh, so this was random?

[Justin]

I guess so. I. I didn't know who it was.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, she could have a crazy ex, too.

[Justin]

Oh.

[Jose]

In the driveway and.

[Jeffrey]

But hopefully not. What was it like going back to her door and telling her what happened?

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Justin]

First off, she doesn't really live in the greatest neighborhood, so at that point, it was kind of like, I need to kind of get out of here, and I didn't want to wait on the sidewalk for AAA or whatever, so I. I went back there. I mean, she was shocked that it happened, but, like, she invited me back in.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I bet she felt so bad.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, even though it's not her fault. Right.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Whenever somebody comes over to my house and something bad happens in my neighborhood, I'm like, oh, my God. Or someone in my apartment parking garage. I'm like, girls, neighborhood. So embarrassed.

[Jose]

Okay, so does that mean that you ended up staying the night at her place?

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Jose]

Oh, silver lining.

[Justin]

But I stayed on the couch. I didn't like Santa's in bed or anything.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Okay.

[Jose]

Was everything okay the next morning between you two?

[Justin]

Yeah, actually. So the next morning, AAA came while we were waiting for them to change my tire or whatnot. We had orange juice. Split a bagel. It was nice, actually.

[Jose]

Is this the second date? Yeah. I think him going back into her apartment in the same night, that would be the double version of the date just clicked for me. Sorry.

[Justin]

I mean, guys, I. I even got a quick kiss before I left, so I definitely think it ended on a high.

[Jeffrey]

Dude. And you didn't have a toothbrush with you, so that a lot that she would give you a little finger burn. She better have done that.

[Jose]

I mean, at least one orange juice break.

[Justin]

Okay. I mean, we weren't going full throttle, but I got a kiss.

[Jose]

Okay, it was a mouth kiss then. Yeah, well, it could be like a oh, I'm I feel bad for you forehead sort of kiss. What were you guys thinking?

[Jeffrey]

I don't know. You guys are sick.

[Jose]

In fact, I need to go, like, wash my brain out of whatever thoughts you were having.

[Jeffrey]

It's us that's the problem.

[Jose]

Yeah, you're poisoning me. And once we're all fresh and clean, we'll come back and do a very clean version of a second date update. I mean, I can't promise that, but fingers crossed. I'm hoping Keep it clean. Right after this second date update. If you're just joining us, our listener Justin had his first date end with his car tire randomly getting slashed. So we know he lives in Alexis's.

[Jeffrey]

Neighborhood, but this is not arguing against that. Our cars get stolen, all four tires done.

[Jose]

Yeah, this specific incident happened outside of his date's apartment, so he kind of turned it into hey, it's kind of late for me to get a tow right now, so is it cool if I stayed the night? Yeah. And he did even got a kiss the next morning. But ever since then, his date Tracy seems to be avoiding him.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, which is strange. I mean, was the quick peck that bad?

[Jose]

I'm just kidding.

[Jeffrey]

Like I said, he didn't have a toothbrush, so maybe it was.

[Jose]

Come on, it can't be morning breath.

[Jeffrey]

Everyone gets that.

[Jose]

Justin, we don't know. Is there anything that's going through your mind for why Tracy's avoiding you?

[Justin]

I mean, I can't really think of it. I liked her. I thought it was a great date. Unless it was, like, the mini golf situation. I don't I don't know, because you.

[Jose]

Tried to prank her at the mini golf course by hiding behind a mountain for a second.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, not for a second. She thought that she got ditched again. Do you remember that?

[Jose]

Calling his name just long enough for her to shed tears.

[Jeffrey]

Although it did sound like you guys recovered because you did go back to her place. She invited you there. So maybe there's just some simple misunderstanding we're going to face.

[Justin]

It has to. Yeah, hopefully.

[Jose]

Yeah. I mean, on this show, it's always like a simple reason, an easy misunderstanding. It never gets weird or.

[Jeffrey]

There's a first time for everything, Jeff. And I am an optimistic person.

[Jose]

That's what we're saying.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, Alexis, I am something.

[Jose]

Okay, well, let's just dial Tracy and see if she answers. Okay, Here we go.

[Tracy]

Hello?

[Jose]

Hey, is this Tracy?

[Tracy]

Yeah, this is Tracy.

[Jose]

Hey.

[Justin]

Well, hello.

[Jose]

You're so pleasant. I know.

[Jeffrey]

She is, isn't she?

[Jose]

Good morning.

[Tracy]

Who is this?

[Jose]

Oh, this is Jose. Sorry, Jeff. You do your job, bro.

[Justin]

We have a whole show.

[Jose]

Oh, yeah, I interrupted. My bad. I was gonna let you guess a few times, but no better guess.

[Jeffrey]

She likes that game.

[Jose]

Yeah, if you don't want to play the game, I guess. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Tracy]

Okay, why are you guys calling me?

[Jose]

Well, I'm Jeffrey.

[Jeffrey]

We don't need to go through all the interviews.

[Jose]

Brooks, you want to say who you are? Remember, before I'm Jose.

[Jeffrey]

Just tell her why we're.

[Jose]

Okay, okay. We're not doing. We're not doing the fun version of this segment today. We're doing the straight down to business version where we ask you, why aren't you calling back our friend Justin after you went on a date with him?

[Jeffrey]

Okay, explain the segment first.

[Jose]

You didn't want to have fun with it.

[Jeffrey]

You didn't have to tear the band aid off like that.

[Jose]

Okay, put the band aid back on. We're doing a segment. It's a fun one called Second Date Update. Ooh, did she hang up? Tracy, you still there?

[Jeffrey]

I'm still there.

[Jose]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Yes. Yes, Sorry. Wow, thank goodness that zoned out.

[Jose]

You know what? We thought Jeff lost another one. I probably shouldn't be asking any more questions. Brooke, ask her something.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, we heard that you went on a date, and now I already forgot the guy's name.

[Tracy]

I should not be talking to him anymore. I don't know how much you know, but there were some really, really sketchy things that happened that night.

[Jeffrey]

What do you mean?

[Justin]

Whoa?

[Jose]

Well, to him Right. I mean, we don't condone people hiding behind mountains and acting like they ditched you mid date, if that's what you're talking about.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he did. He did tell us about the mini golf incident.

[Jose]

It was pretty shady.

[Jeffrey]

He thought.

[Tracy]

That's not what I'm talking about. I just. I felt like I was lied to.

[Jose]

Lied to?

[Jeffrey]

Did you catch him in a lie, you're saying, or.

[Tracy]

I caught him in a lie.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Tracy]

That's why I've not been calling him back.

[Jose]

Okay. Does he know about this?

[Tracy]

He doesn't know that I know.

[Jeffrey]

He doesn't know that you know?

[Tracy]

No, he knows what he did, but he doesn't know that I know what he did.

[Jeffrey]

Don't you want to call him out? I mean, that's what people tend to want to do when someone lies to them. You want to be like, no.

[Tracy]

He left the next morning, and a couple hours later, my apartment manager said he wanted to talk to me. And I was really confused because he's never wanted to talk to me about anything before. Like, I'm like, am I in trouble? And he told me that there was video surveillance of Justin slashing his own tires.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Jose]

What?

[Tracy]

Wait, he slashed his own tire so that he could come and stay with me?

[Jose]

No. Wait.

[Tracy]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Are you sure? Like, I mean, it's dark on those surveillance things, like.

[Jose]

Oh, my God.

[Justin]

No.

[Tracy]

There was a streetlight right over the car, and you could see very clearly that it was him.

[Jeffrey]

That's crazy.

[Tracy]

The reason my apartment manager contacted me about it is because you could see Justin walk up to my door.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Jose]

That's kind of scary.

[Jeffrey]

This is not gonna look good right now.

[Jose]

We got a much different version. Well, not a much different, but a slightly different version of that story when we talked to Justin about it.

[Jeffrey]

She has proof. Yeah.

[Jose]

That's crazy. Although you can, like, Photoshop and video edit a lot of weird stuff.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I'm sure that's what the manager was doing.

[Jose]

Some apartment managers are sketchy, and we should probably at least hear what Justin has to say about it because he is on the other line right now waiting to.

[Jeffrey]

That is so uncomfortable.

[Tracy]

He's on the other line. So he's been. He's heard what I said?

[Jeffrey]

Yes. We had no idea.

[Jose]

Oh, no, he did not.

[Tracy]

I don't want to. I don't want to talk to him.

[Jose]

Well, we need to at least hear what he has to say about this, if he's still there. Justin, are you. Are you there?

[Justin]

Yeah, I'm here.

[Jose]

Justin. I'm going to step away and give you the floor here so you can explain yourself. I'm sure there's probably a very good reason for why you did that. A very noble reason.

[Jeffrey]

Oh yes, always noble to slash one's own tires. Sleeping in his house.

[Jose]

Justin. Go ahead.

[Justin]

I didn't see any cameras out there, so honestly, that's on me, I guess.

[Jeffrey]

But that's your.

[Justin]

Oh my God. Listen, it was probably one of the best dates I've had in a really long time. And that's why I did it. I wanted to spend more time together. We got hang out the next morning, that is. I had a great time. Hey, you had a great time.

[Tracy]

So disgusting. I can't believe that somebody would actually stoop to that level and slash our own tires.

[Justin]

Well, I mean, if it's any consolation, it wasn't cheap. It still cost me $250. I had to replace my damn tire.

[Jeffrey]

That's your move? Your move is slashing your own tire? Like you don't have confidence enough in your game.

[Justin]

I just did it. I don't know, I thought it would make a great story down the line too. Family reunions or wedding, whatever.

[Jeffrey]

No one in the history of the world has ever thought slashing tires is cute. It's just. It's like a story for the police. Maybe not.

[Tracy]

I felt really bad about it because this happened in my neighborhood. I felt like it was my fault. And now listening to this and his excuses. I don't care how much money it costs. That was really, really kind of creepy.

[Jeffrey]

It was just so manipulative, Justin.

[Justin]

Honestly, not really. I mean, guys do crazy things all the time so they can spend time with girls. Like not that crazy. Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Have you done this more than once?

[Jose]

Oh, that's a good question.

[Justin]

Listen, I am not a serial tire slasher, all right?

[Jeffrey]

I didn't say cereal. I said more than once.

[Justin]

I did this one other time and that was only when we were six months together. It's not. I've done this a million times. One other time.

[Jose]

So the last time it worked to get a long term relationship is what you're saying.

[Justin]

Actually, she was trying to break up with me last time, so it was sort of a different situation.

[Jose]

Okay, you only pull this move out when you're really, really desperate. It's an emergency.

[Jeffrey]

Right before the restraining order takes effect. I mean, that's the type of move this is. Justin, why. Why don't you feel bad? Why haven't you apologized?

[Justin]

Oh, I mean, I'm sorry. Like it was my Tire.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, it was my tire.

[Justin]

Oh, my God.

[Jose]

Tracy, you've heard his explanat. Which was? He felt like it was the best state of his life and he just didn't want it to end. Is there any part of you that feels compassion for him?

[Tracy]

No.

[Jose]

Yeah, clearly they need to mark the area better. That says this area is under surveillance.

[Jeffrey]

If you're psycho and planning to slash.

[Jose]

Your own tires, that'd be a nice warning.

[Tracy]

You know, it's really, really weird, and I. I just think that you should have spent $250 maybe taking me on on the date the next time, because I would have said yes.

[Jose]

Taking lobster time, right?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, like buying flowers, doing normal things. Not psychotic.

[Tracy]

Exactly.

[Justin]

You guys are acting like I committed murder or something. I. I mean, I literally slashed my own tire. Get over it, guys.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Jose]

Well, that's fair. Let's give him credit for not murdering on the first date, okay? He deserves credit for that.

[Jeffrey]

I can't believe we're looking at murder red flags right now. Yeah, but I'm pretty sure this is one of them.

[Jose]

Tracy, he's not a murderer. So maybe. Yes, maybe that's enough to give him another chance.

[Jeffrey]

The guy who obviously keeps a knife on him for his tire slash.

[Jose]

I'm sure it's in his car.

[Justin]

It was a screwdriver. Oh.

[Tracy]

See, whatever it was, unfortunately, I think that this one's definitely a no go.

[Jose]

Oh, you can build some Ikea furniture for you. Come on now, you're missing out.

[Justin]

Listen, I'm pretty crafty. I'm romantic. All of it. So.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jose]

Hey, I stole you these flowers.

[Jeffrey]

That's why your ex girlfriend stuck around.

[Justin]

Yeah, I mean, she stayed around a couple more months after I flashed my tire the last time, so.

[Jose]

That's sweet.

[Jeffrey]

Related her into it.

[Jose]

Okay. Justin, man, look, I'm sorry.

[Jeffrey]

I'm not.

[Jose]

Well, Tracy doesn't want to go out with you. Clearly. This isn't going to work.

[Jeffrey]

Ever. It won't ever work if you do this.

[Justin]

I mean, you're probably 50% right.

[Jose]

Okay, that's optimistic.

[Justin]

Yeah, probably.

[Jose]

[Jeffrey]

I feel like we should also write a book, but the title should be like how to spot a psycho. Yeah, Psychos for Dummies. That could be good.

[Jose]

We'll do the sequel. That's the sequel to this one. We can also do Dummies for Psych Psychos.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. You know, a lot of options here.

[Jose]

Oh my God, we're gonna have so many bestsellers when we're done writing all this stuff up. But yeah, it didn't work out today. The good news is we do have hundreds of successful phone calls that we have done for other couples. Yeah, I feel like we can get anyone together. There's like a tire repair woman out there who loves this guy. Yeah, she just didn't hear the break yet.

Prohibition is synonymous with speakeasies, jazz flappers, and, of course, failure. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, Snafu, there's a story I couldn't wait to tell you. It's about an unlikely duo in the 1920s who tried to warn the public that prohibition was going to backfire so badly it just might leave thousands dead from poison.
