---

6. Turning Point: The Live Second Date Auction

[15:58 – 18:41]

  • Determined to prove he’s not boring, Noah offers to pay Brandy for a second chance—starting at $100, then $200, then $300, finally reaching $500 (plus Uber fare).
  • Brandy is initially offended by the idea and the amounts, quipping her “lip liner costs more than that.”
    • Quote (Brandy, 17:34): "I literally have lip liner that costs more than that."
• Hosts Join the Bidding Fun:

  • Quote (Brooke, 17:30): “350. Who wants 350?”

    • Quote (Brandy, 18:30): "If you sit in the front and I get to sit in the back, then, yeah, okay, $500."

---

7. Reflection & Aftermath

[19:03 – End]

• Host Analysis:
  • The hosts reflect on whether Brandy will “milk this” for further paid dates, whether this arrangement could ever spark a real romance, and if Noah can prove her wrong—or just bought himself time.
  • Quote (Brooke, 21:08): "Now he knows her worth. It's like 500 minimum to get her out."
• Open-Ended Outcome:
  • Noah promises the second date will be more exciting ("Nothing is going to be boring about our next date"), while Brandy seems satisfied with her business sense.
• Hosts' Tone:
  • The team stays true to their irreverent style—sympathetic but full of roasts and sharp jokes.

[Jeffrey]

All right, we've heard of people going to extreme lengths on this podcast to get another shot with somebody, but man, did this guy take it too far. Yeah we were all in disbelief. Yeah.

[Mandy Woodruff Santos]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So take it as it is. Your brand new episode is about to start. Thank you for finding the official second date podcast. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Before we get to it, what do you see in comments? Alexis? Yeah, this comment made me laugh. Someone commented on another second date and said this one was wild, but. But not as wild is Jeff's claim of being with two women in his frat house. Yeah, right. Maybe the two women were together. Yeah, Jeff was definitely not.

[Brooke]

I was at a party with Jeff once. He's going to hate me for saying this. I saw him with two women. They were consoling him because he got too drunk and he was crying.

[Jeffrey]

So I have seen him with two

[Brooke]

women all over him, but they were, like, hugging him.

[Jeffrey]

That sounds more accurate.

[Danielle Fishel]

I drove him home.

[Brooke]

It was a fun night.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, Jeff, please never listen to this.

[Brooke]

Jeff.

[Troy Millings]

I'm sorry.

[Jeffrey]

So funny. All right. Hey, thank you so much for.

[Danielle Fishel]

Thanks for being here.

[Jeffrey]

We're gonna start your brand new episode right now.

[Danielle Fishel]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Second date update.

[Alexis]

In the 80s and 90s, persistence won the dating game. A young man standing outside your bedroom window holding up a boombox in the rain while playing your favorite song. Yeah, that got the girl.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Alexis]

In today's day and age, he gets a taser from both the front and the back for that type of move. So can you be persistent without being creepy?

[Jeffrey]

Well, can you respect boundaries?

[Danielle Fishel]

I don't know.

[Alexis]

It's the fine line. Our listener Noah, though, had to walk, and now even he's not getting a call back. So let's find out more about it. Noah, welcome to the show.

[Noah]

Thanks, guys.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, Noah, if persistence is the issue here, we should not be on the phone with you. We are only going to make matters worse. We're part of what I'm saying.

[Alexis]

Maybe, but let's find out how persistent and what he means by that. Like, tell us who you met and how that happened.

[Noah]

Yeah, so I met this really beautiful girl off of Raya. Her name's Brandy.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wait, is it Raya? Remind me, Alexis. Raya is the one where you have to be. You don't have to be a celebrity. You just have to be someone who's qualified enough.

[Alexis]

If you don't know about Raya, you don't deserve to know about Raya.

[Jeffrey]

Like, used to, but now it's, like,

[Noah]

now it's open to everyone. The floodgates have opened on Raya.

[Jeffrey]

They didn't make enough money on single slots. I saw, like, Two people from my high school.

[Alexis]

Yeah, I mean, it's all gone to hell. So go ahead, tell us more about this wonderful woman. You said Brandy was her name?

[Noah]

Yeah, her name's Brandy. And it took me like two months to get a date with her. Like, whoa. We would chat on the app, like, every day, and she's busy. She says she's, like, in and out of town for business. And then finally she says, okay, you've asked me out like 30 times now or whatever. And she agreed to a date.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so that's the persistence that paid off. Yeah, you were just patient on the apps. You didn't give up.

[Noah]

Exactly.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, okay.

[Alexis]

See, Alexis, not creepy. You wear them down till they have no choice but to say yes.

[Noah]

You could have blocked me at any time. Or, like, I'm mad.

[Alexis]

But she didn't.

[Mandy Woodruff Santos]

There you go.

[Jeffrey]

She didn't.

[Alexis]

She agreed to meet up with you. So what did you guys do?

[Noah]

So I booked a really nice restaurant for dinner and we met there, and she shows up and looks incredible.

[Jeffrey]

How are you feeling in that moment? Because this is like two months of build up to. To this.

[Noah]

Yeah. In that moment, I was like, oh, wow, I've really scored.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, good, that's cute.

[Alexis]

So the date's already off to a good start. What about aside from her, like, physical beauty, what was your connection like?

[Noah]

I thought it was pretty strong. I mean, there were definitely some good and some not so good parts of the date. Like, okay, so she's a dreamer. Like me. Like me.

[Alexis]

She's a dreamer. Not so good.

[Jacob Goldstein]

Yikes.

[Noah]

No, no, no. Like, for me, like, you know, I want a water view. I want big ceilings. I want big closets.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, oh, you're dreaming about your dream house.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Alexis]

Oh, that came up on your date?

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah. But then.

[Brooke]

Fun to talk about.

[Noah]

Yeah, it was fun. But then the not so good was, like, she seemed distracted. Like, she was checking her phone a lot. And, like, I think it's probably because her business has been going really well lately. That's why she's, like, in and out of town. So she, like, said she acquires fashion, merchandising or something like that. I don't really know, but it does

[Jeffrey]

sound like one of those jobs that you're like, cool. That sounds amazing. I have no questions.

[Danielle Fishel]

I don't really understand what it is.

[Noah]

Yeah. So you're a drug dealer. No, I'm kidding.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, okay. I mean, sure, it sounds like. I mean, in the two months leading up to this date, she was in and out of town. For work. She may be one of those people that are just literally on the job 24 7.

[Brooke]

Yeah, like those people at Disneyland that are still making deals on their phone because they have to.

[Noah]

Totally. But, yeah, like, I tried asking a lot of questions about her, you know, and the date ended with a hug, and she grabbed an Uber and, you know, but now she doesn't respond to text. So, like, I don't know. I mean, it took two months for me to, like, finally get a date with her, and now I want to know what she actually thought.

[Brooke]

It's weird because nothing stands out. Like, this could be a good or a bad date. Like, it sounds like a normal. Typical. There were good things, there were bad things. Have you left.

[Jeffrey]

Have you waited a week for her response? Because that seems like that was the.

[Alexis]

That was five to seven business days between text messages.

[Noah]

Yeah, I didn't wait a week, but I waited, like, two days.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, it's only been two days since your date?

[Noah]

No, no, no, no, no. Now it's been a week.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I see. Two days to text her and now you have.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brooke]

Two days is.

[Jeffrey]

I see.

[Brooke]

That's not a bad timeline.

[Jeffrey]

Did you ever talk about future on your date? I mean, you were talking about dreams. Did any of them include both of you?

[Alexis]

Like, marriage? Is that what you mean, Brooke?

[Jeffrey]

I mean, like, what you're doing on your next date, or what are you

[Alexis]

looking for on riot on a honeymoon sort of situation.

[Noah]

I think we're like a relationship. That was. That's the sense that I got. But, like, we didn't got, like, really specific about it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, all right.

[Brooke]

But if that's a sense you got, it's. You have to spell everything out on date one.

[Noah]

Right.

[Alexis]

But if you are planning a dream home together, that does feel like you're planning for the future.

[Brooke]

I mean, you are thinking about your down payment.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe she was upset at the number of bathrooms you had planned. You know, maybe you weren't dreaming big enough.

[Noah]

Oh, I mean, yeah, we did talk about closets.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, I hope you didn't say you wanted to share one

[Noah]

now. I'm not.

[Alexis]

Alexis, I'm curious hear your take. What do you think about the date that he just described?

[Jeffrey]

I don't know. I mean, she's out of town a lot, right? Is like, mostly DJs that live all over the world. Maybe she's out traveling.

[Alexis]

Did that ever cross your mind?

[Brooke]

Wait, is this Paris Hilton?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah, maybe she's a dj. I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

I think that she's on ride.

[Danielle Fishel]

There's whatever she meant.

[Jeffrey]

Alexis meant she's dating DJs. Yeah.

[Noah]

Oh, oh, maybe.

[Alexis]

Well, we'll figure it out. If she answers the phone, we're going to call this wonderful woman Brandy.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my gosh. We can't take very much time. She sounds very busy.

[Alexis]

Yeah, yeah, we'll just see which DJ she's been dating when we come back. And do your second date update right after this.

[Noah]

Thank you.

[Alexis]

Hold on.

[Danielle Fishel]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Alexis]

Getting a new passport usually takes four to six weeks.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah, it's a process.

[Alexis]

Closing on a house around 30 to 40 days. But getting one date with a girl named Brandy off Raya took our listener two full months. That's right before she finally caved and agreed to go out to dinner.

[Brooke]

Dang. Harder than closing a house.

[Alexis]

And after all that effort, Noah is now not getting a call back, waited an entire week and has finally come to us seeking help, which, I mean,

[Jeffrey]

in that timeline, it feels impatient.

[Alexis]

Yeah, compared to the two months situation.

[Brandy]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Dude, wait a year.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

But before we do call Brooke, what is your take? What do you think about this whole situation?

[Jeffrey]

I mean, I know you say that she's interested in a relationship. It just sounds like she doesn't have time. You know, honestly, like she's trying to make it happen. But her career is really important.

[Brooke]

She may even say that and think she's ready for a relationship.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Maybe not.

[Jeffrey]

You know, it's hard to have it all.

[Alexis]

What do you think about getting her to quit her career, Noah?

[Brooke]

How do you feel?

[Noah]

Oh, that's not the real question.

[Jeffrey]

That was a joke. No answer.

[Brooke]

That I was trying to think about.

[Alexis]

Well, if her problem's the job, then,

[Noah]

you know, I mean, I'm open to asking that.

[Jeffrey]

No, no, no. She sounds highly successful. I think the solution is you quit your job, follow her around her life.

[Noah]

Yeah, well, I mean, I don't even know if she likes me because I'm not getting a call.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know about that yet.

[Alexis]

Yeah. Is that really important that she likes you? If she's super rich and successful, yes.

[Noah]

Okay, well, I have some self respect, sure.

[Brooke]

Look at most celebrity rich people. They don't like each other.

[Alexis]

That's what I figured. Hey, if you're into it for like, the actual connection, good for you, man. Let's try and make this happen. We'll see if Brand even answers, but I'm dial her number right now. Here we go.

[Brandy]

Hello?

[Alexis]

Hey, is this Brandy?

[Brandy]

This is Brandy.

[Alexis]

Hey, Brandi. Thank you so much for answering. We hear you're a very busy woman and we don't want to waste your time, but we are a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brandy]

Okay. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Welcome to the show.

[Brandy]

Why are you calling?

[Alexis]

We're doing something called a second date update.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we're not here for the Brandy TED Talk, Jeff.

[Brooke]

This is the Brandy, like, the owner of Brandy, the liquor. Wow.

[Brandy]

Sorry.

[Alexis]

We're not even 100% sure what you do Brandy, if it's something in fashion,

[Brandy]

but, yeah, I'm not really sure how that plays into the radio.

[Alexis]

It plays in because we heard about your job through a guy you went on a date with named Noah.

[Brandy]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. You remember Noah, who took you to a really nice restaurant? That was cool, right?

[Brandy]

Yeah, I remember Noah.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

All right.

[Alexis]

He would really like to see you more, but he came to us seeking help because he's been having trouble figuring out if there's going to be another date or if there's a reason why you're not talking to him.

[Brandy]

Yeah, I mean, I don't really think he wants to hear why.

[Alexis]

Well, actually, he does. That's why he reached out to our show, because he's not getting the answers directly from you.

[Brandy]

Okay. Okay. Sure.

[Troy Millings]

All right.

[Alexis]

What do you think about Noah?

[Brandy]

I don't know how to put it. Well, okay, so you ever hear that candy commercial that's like, sometimes you feel like a nut and other times not really, or. Yeah, something like that.

[Brooke]

Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes.

[Jeffrey]

Are you talking about for Almond Joy and Mounds and.

[Brandy]

Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, he's the. Don't.

[Jeffrey]

I don't understand. I don't understand the analogy.

[Brandy]

What I mean is, like, I thought he was going to be, like, a fun and playful guy, but he just turned out to be like, blah.

[Brooke]

Oh, personality.

[Danielle Fishel]

Blah.

[Alexis]

Like, blah. In what way?

[Brandy]

He's just an overall boring person to be with. Like, oh, have you ever heard somebody say that they'd rather be, like, watching paint dry?

[Jeffrey]

It's like that analogy works better than your candy bar thing. Yeah. Just so you know, makes no more sense.

[Alexis]

I think we get the sentiment. You were bored.

[Brandy]

I mean, and then we're there at dinner, and it's like, a few questions. We would just eat in silence and then question. Have a sip of a drink. And then more questions like, I'd rather have dinner with my parents than, they're awful.

[Noah]

That's awful.

[Alexis]

Your parents?

[Jeffrey]

I felt like my parents.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So there was no, like, fun back and forth there?

[Brandy]

No, I Mean, like, I don't know what else to say, but just, like, I didn't really want to hurt his feelings, but it's just like, that was the most, like, boringest date I've been on in, like, the entire year.

[Jeffrey]

I wish. I wish we could sugarcoat that for him.

[Brooke]

Yeah, Rescue voter's very pretty.

[Alexis]

We kind of have to tell him and you, because you don't know this Brandy, but Here he is, Mr. Boring America.

[Jeffrey]

What is that?

[Alexis]

That's me telling you that he's been on the line listening to this.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, what?

[Noah]

Wait, what do you mean boring? We talked about closets, Randy.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah, wait a minute.

[Brandy]

Exactly.

[Noah]

Boring. I'm sorry. Girls love closets. They, like, dream about big shoe closets and walk in closets. That shouldn't be BO to you. You work in fashion.

[Jeffrey]

I don't think I've ever had one closet discussion with my girlfriend.

[Brandy]

Yeah, and I mean, it's like we dream about the stuff that goes inside the closet, not the actual closet space. And you're literally giving me, like, dimensions and type of doors.

[Noah]

I thought it was fun. I mean, it's fun to dream and plan.

[Brandy]

Yeah, well, my plan is, like, not to be with you. Sorry.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Alexis]

Was it just the closets?

[Brooke]

Feels like there's something else for me.

[Alexis]

I mean, there was clearly two months of build up before the two of them met. In Brandy's mind, it was going to be something really spectacular out of this world and not just closet talk.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it had been more than that. I mean, Noah, stand up for yourself. Like, there had to have been more on the date.

[Noah]

I mean, it was a 45 minute date. So. I mean, we did talk about closets for a good part of it, but we also talked about other things. And I don't know, I just feels like, you know, you're going to ditch me after one short date because I'm too boring. My personality sucks.

[Brandy]

I mean, those are your words.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, they came from your mouth first. But think about this. He's a guy who's so exciting that he called a radio station. I mean, that's pretty cool.

[Alexis]

No, you're exciting. Right?

[Noah]

Show her I'm exciting. I'm excited. Look, look, I really like spending time with you and I appreciate you and your busy schedule, and I really want to hang out again and not talk about closets. And if you would, then I'd be willing to pay you right now. Hundred dollars.

[Brandy]

What?

[Will Friedle]

Whoa.

[Brooke]

Would you pay her? That feels.

[Alexis]

You feel weird.

[Noah]

Look, look, she's obviously jumping to conclusions that I'm boring after 45 minutes, and I'm not. I know I'm not, and I'm confident that I'm not. And if I. $200. And look, she can get compensated for her time, and I'll show her that I'm not boring.

[Alexis]

Has this ever happened on our show before where the listener has offered to pay money to go on another date?

[Brooke]

We always offer to pay for the day.

[Alexis]

I know. That's.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know what the legality on this one is.

[Alexis]

We're not offering it. It's between the two of them.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but it's like being at a drug deal and saying that you're not taking the cash.

[Alexis]

I don't know, Brandi. What? Where is your head at?

[Brandy]

That so insulting. $200.

[Alexis]

Is it insulting that he's trying to pay you to go out, or is it insulting the price?

[Brandy]

I mean, $200, that's all he thinks I'm worth.

[Noah]

What? I mean, okay, $300.

[Alexis]

Brooke, you started this.

[Jeffrey]

I did?

[Alexis]

You were the one that said, show your value.

[Jeffrey]

I meant show how exciting you were. Like, tell her that you went, I don't know, cliff jumping last week or something.

[Alexis]

This is exciting. It's like being in an auction. Okay, 300. Where are you at, Brandy?

[Brooke]

350. Who wants 350?

[Jeffrey]

I see in the back. 350, Brandy.

[Brandy]

I mean, I literally have lip liner that costs more than that.

[Noah]

No. Oh, wow.

[Jeffrey]

Does that exist? That's a bad deal.

[Noah]

Well, okay, I just want to go on another day with you. I'm not trying to, like, upgrade your whole makeup kit.

[Brooke]

He makes a point.

[Brandy]

Yeah, it just also sounds like you couldn't afford to upgrade my makeup even if you wanted to.

[Noah]

Oh, gosh. Final offer. 500 to go on one day with me. I mean, that's a pretty good

[Brooke]

show, asking for your money, brother.

[Alexis]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

Don't buy love life like this.

[Jeffrey]

So desperate.

[Alexis]

I mean, Brandy, you've heard them.

[Noah]

$500 on the table, and you pay for my Uber.

[Alexis]

What you thinking about it?

[Jeffrey]

We're negotiating this.

[Noah]

Okay, fine. I'll pick you up at an Uber, and I'll pay for it.

[Jacob Goldstein]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Alexis]

Okay, I don't know what's going on.

[Brooke]

If she says no to this, this would be the worst rejection I've ever heard.

[Alexis]

Noah's offering $500 and to pay for the Uber ride if you'll meet up with him again.

[Brandy]

Brandy, if you sit in the front and I get to sit in the back, then, yeah, okay, $500.

[Alexis]

Like a chill for it.

[Troy Millings]

Okay.

[Noah]

No.

[Jeffrey]

You really want this?

[Alexis]

I don't even want to say yes to her.

[Jeffrey]

It's not even a date at this point.

[Noah]

Look, like I said before, I need a second chance. And if this is what it takes, I'm doing it.

[Alexis]

All right.

[Brandy]

Wow.

[Brooke]

She just wanted a little more personality out of here.

[Noah]

Wow.

[Alexis]

It's. At this point, I'd like to toss in a $20 gift card to Chili's on top of the 500 in the Uber.

[Jeffrey]

Seal the deal.

[Brooke]

You guys can go for like a cookie after. After your real date.

[Alexis]

And we're gonna take credit for paying for the whole date. Brandy, are you still in?

[Brandy]

Yeah, I'm in.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. For 500 bucks, she's willing to be bored out of her mind.

[Alexis]

Look at him. She is a good businesswoman.

[Noah]

I promise you, Brandy, nothing is going to be boring about our next date.

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

I feel like he's gonna be so annoying.

[Brooke]

Hey, I just bought Tur.

[Alexis]

Let's talk about crawl space.

[Danielle Fishel]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jacob Goldstein]

This is Jacob Goldstein from what's yous Problem? You probably think of Walmart as the store that carries just about everything under the sun. And maybe not as the place to discover small brands. Well, two things can be true at the same time. Because Walmart is home to thousands of small brands founded by people who had an idea, took a chance, and built something of their own. Behind every one is a real story and a lot of hard work work. So why not take a little time to recognize all the people building small brands across the country and support everything they're creating? Walmart is proud to give those brands a place on its shelves and online. It's never been easier to find and support small brands. So take a look at Walmart. You might come across something new, something unexpected, or a brand whose story speaks to you. You never know what you're missing until you look. Discover thousands of small [e-mail].

hi, Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.

[Brooke]

Are you looking for a beach read this summer?

[Will Friedle]

May I suggest your big wireless bill? It's got suspense, mystery, a slightly flat emotional arc, and a shocking twist where you realize you've been overpaying the entire time. Fortunately, though, Mint's story is better. Every plan. $15 a month, even unlimited. That's it. Happy ending, zero tears. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment

[Danielle Fishel]

of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12 month plan. Required $15 per month. Equivalent taxes and fees Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy. C terminated arms.

[Alexis]

I mean, there's no way that she's gonna milk this for another 500 date for numbers 3 and 4 afterwards, right? She wouldn't do that.

[Brooke]

I always wondered how these relationships started. And we got to hear it like, she set the tone immediately. And now he knows her worth. It's like 500 minimum to get her out.

[Jeffrey]

I just think that she just didn't want to waste her time. And she's a business lady. I don't even think it's about like the money, per se.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

So. So that was.

[Jeffrey]

I think it's just like, no.

[Brooke]

And he just said yes.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know.

[Brooke]

I mean, no, it's a win. Win for her.

[Jeffrey]

What if. What if. Because I was kind of a naysayer. What if he's actually fun?

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And what if they actually hit it off and it all started over 500 bucks?

[Alexis]

Yeah. And what if it goes so well? She's actually like, you know what? I'm going to give you back the $500 and I'm going to pay for the Uber myself.

[Brooke]

That's not.

[Jeffrey]

She negotiated a pretty good deal and that's bad business.

[Alexis]

Jeffrey saying that's what a good woman would do. Right, Brooke?

[Brandy]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, I. I don't know. I've never.

[Brooke]

She likes.

[Alexis]

Okay, whose side are you on? I don't understand.

[Jeffrey]

I was hoping that they'd get married.

[Alexis]

Yeah, me too.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sure that's what's going to happen.

[Alexis]

I choose to believe in love.

[Brooke]

Do you think he'll pay for her to marry him?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's gonna be a different bill.

[Alexis]

That's. That's a time for another segment, another way down the road. But if you believe in love like we do, go to our podcast and help spread the gospel of second date. Update on Spotify, iHeart, YouTube, YouTube and wherever you listen, just search Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
