Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Setting the Scene: Listener Story Introduction

• [03:32] Brooke and Jeffrey introduce Alex’s dilemma, poking fun at romantic “leagues” and reading a sentimental listener comment.
  • Jeffrey: “His own mom doesn't believe that he's got game.”
  • Brooke: “I think she definitely was only looking for one thing if she swiped right on a shirtless dude and she's in town for one night...”

2. Alex’s Perspective: The Date with Tiffany

• [04:48–07:39] Alex recounts meeting Tiffany on a dating app. Tiffany, in town for business, matches with Alex (“solid seven” per his words). They meet at a bar near her hotel, then move to her hotel room.

  • Alex: “Yeah, I post a lot of shirtless pics... I thought things were picking up and I was curious to see what the decor in her hotel room looked like.”
  • Confusion over Alex’s serious interest in the hotel room decor; panel can’t tell if he’s joking or not.

3. The Awkward Hotel Wait

• [07:49–09:10] After arriving at Tiffany’s room, she supposedly leaves to meet a “friend,” inviting Alex to come along (which he declines). She stays gone for four hours.
  • Alex: “She asked me to come with her a couple times, but I was like, no, I'll just chill here. You say hi, I’ll be ready when you're back.”
  • Brooke/Jeffrey react with disbelief at Alex’s persistence.

4. Subtle Hints (Not) Taken

• [08:48–09:10] Tiffany never explicitly asks him to leave but says “if you want to leave, you can.”
  • Alex interprets this as permission to stay; the hosts suggest he likely missed the hint.

5. Aftermath and Ghosting

• [10:03–10:53] When Tiffany returns late at night, she apologizes and wraps up the evening, citing an early meeting. Alex eventually gets the “hint” and leaves.
• Alex tries texting for another date; Tiffany replies, “Sounds like a plan,” but nothing more.

6. Confessions and Red Flags

• [10:55–11:10] Alex admits to sometimes photoshopping his profile pictures, though the hosts agree this wasn’t the real issue.
  • Brooke: “I think the weird part was you being in the hotel room for [four hours]...”

7. Tiffany’s Side: The Truth Revealed

• [13:16–17:00]
  • Tiffany joins the call. She says she realized early on that there was no chemistry. When Alex fixated on the hotel’s décor, she tried to end the evening by inventing a fake friend in the lobby.
    • Tiffany: “He, like, walked into the room and was, like, caressing the curtains. Like, the crown molding was mind blowing.” [14:54]
    • Tiffany: “At this point, I was just trying to figure out a way to get him to leave the room because it didn't feel like he was going to...” [16:05]
  • She left, hoping he’d be gone by her return, but he stayed—texted her, but never picked up that he should leave.

8. The “Flutter Island” Twist

• [17:05–18:52] Tiffany reveals that after she checked out, her bill included a pay-per-view charge for an adult film called “Flutter Island,” rented while Alex was alone in her room.
  • Tiffany: “I don't even know how to describe this movie other than it's titled Flutter Island.” [17:31]
  • Alex insists he paid cash at the front desk for the movie and it shouldn’t have appeared on her bill.

9. The Fallout: Boundaries, Persistence, and Laughs

• [18:55–20:10]
  • Tiffany emphasizes that renting the movie wasn’t just about money, but about Alex overstaying in her space.
    • Tiffany: “It's not it being on my bill that is the problem here. You get that, right?” [18:55]
  • Alex: “I was invited... but yes, I see that now” [19:20]
• The hosts debate whether Alex’s persistence is an asset or obliviousness; Brooke calls for boundaries, Jeffrey jokes about “Slutter Island 2.”

10. Resolution: Second Date Denied

• [20:27–20:39] Despite Alex’s offer to cover travel for a second date, Tiffany says, “I think I'd rather sit in the hotel lobby for three nights straight.”

• The dynamic between Brooke, Jeffrey, and their guests balances humor, honesty, and a touch of cringe—making for a highly entertaining, albeit unsuccessful, attempt at finding love.
• The episode is a reminder: always take the hint, don’t overstay your welcome, and maybe skip the adult movies on someone else’s hotel bill.

[Brooke]

That's right. That's right. Welcome to the show. And we always love to start with a good listener comment.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Brooke]

And speaking of how they found us, we have Danielle, who commented and said, you guys practically raised me. My mom and I used to listen.

[Bethenny Frankel]

In the car every morning on the.

[Brooke]

Way to school throughout all of middle school and high school. Now I'm in college and still keep you guys a part of my daily commute. Love y' all so much. My bonus parents. Look at why.

[Jeffrey]

Come on.

[Bethenny Frankel]

It was nice, but not tear worthy.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay, Danielle, look what you did so fast. Okay, give me. You made your second mom cry, Danielle. But it's happy tears, so I'm really proud of you. All right, your second date starts right now.

[Bethenny Frankel]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

You ever been out with someone and thought, what am I doing? They are way out of my league. I don't think so.

[Brooke]

I'm gonna say no.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe we've got some liars in the room. Because everybody's felt that maybe one time. Have you ever had your own mother tell you, sorry, honey, that girl is way out of your league. You should give up and save yourself the embarrassment. My mom thinks I'm the most handsome man in the world. There's no way. Again, another good liar there.

[Brooke]

But that's okay.

[Jeffrey]

That's what happened to one of our listeners, Alex. His own mom doesn't believe that he's got game.

[Brooke]

I mean, you relate to this so heavily, don't you, Jeffrey?

[Jeffrey]

I do, but Alex proved her wrong by hanging out with a solid seven, according to him and getting a cheap hotel room with her. Alex, am I right, or was some of what I said exaggerated for entertainment?

[Alex]

Well, technically, it wasn't my hotel room. It was. It was hers, but yeah, okay, make.

[Jeffrey]

Her pay for it. That's right.

[Brooke]

That's a hotel room.

[Alex]

Yeah, she was out of town, so it was a business hotel room.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay, Jeffrey, you painted it. Yes, that was exaggerated for entertainment purposes.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. Yeah, I was hoping that was perfectly accurate. But why don't you start from the beginning? Tell us about this girl you met.

[Alex]

Well, you said solid seven. I agree, but, you know, I thought she was really beautiful and.

[Brooke]

Wait, does she have a name?

[Alex]

Yeah, her name's Tiffany.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay. How'd you meet her?

[Alex]

So we met on a dating app. We were just swiping and I guess she was looking for something because she came from out of town.

[Brooke]

If you're, like, coming in from out of town and you're getting on Tinder, are you just bored? Are you looking for a one night? Like.

[Jeffrey]

Well, let's not sell our man short that, like, she just matched with him because she was bored. Looking to kill time. I think. I think she saw something that she liked on that dating profile.

[Alex]

Yeah, I mean, that's what. Yeah, that's what I'm going for. You know, I post a lot of, like, shirtless pics and stuff, so if anyone comes out from out of town, then they know what they're getting into.

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Brooke]

I think that she definitely was only looking for one thing. If she swiped right on a shirtless dude and she's in town for one night, like, kind of goes together.

[Jeffrey]

How did the date go?

[Alex]

Was going. It was going great. I having a good time at first.

[Brooke]

Where did you guys meet? Just, like, at her hotel. Like, at the bar?

[Alex]

Yeah, just kind of like at the bar across the street kind of thing.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Alex]

I thought it was going well because she did. Eventually she took me to her hotel Room.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Alex]

Oh, yeah, not much. Not much to do there.

[Brooke]

What? I think he's being sarcastic.

[Alex]

Oh, no, I'm not being sarcastic. There's not a lot of stuff to do in a hotel room.

[Jeffrey]

That's why you go to do the last thing.

[Brooke]

Okay, be focusing on stuff to do.

[Jeffrey]

In there that you can watch TV and peruse the mini bar. I wouldn't be doing any of these things.

[Brooke]

Wait, why did you go to the hotel room then?

[Jeffrey]

Please don't tell me to iron.

[Alex]

No, I mean, I thought things were picking up. I thought things were getting about to heat up and I was curious to see what the decor in her hotel room look like.

[Brooke]

Oh, I cannot tell what is sarcasm and is what is not with you. No, he's being serious.

[Jeffrey]

What kind of patents he got in there.

[Alex]

But yeah, I mean, I thought it was going well and then she tried. I think she tried to ditch me though.

[Brooke]

Wait, she tried in the room or. Where are you at?

[Jeffrey]

What are you talking about? She pushed you out of the elevator and then shut the door.

[Alex]

Oh, we made it to the room. I checked out the decor and then she left me for four hours in her room.

[Brooke]

What?

[Alex]

Yeah, it's kind of odd. I think she wanted me to go with her. She was going to go see a friend, but she made it seem like it was going to be real quick, like just to say hi. So I was like, oh, just stay.

[Jeffrey]

So she left you in her hotel room to go meet up with a friend real quick and then said she was going to be back?

[Alex]

Exactly. She asked me to come with her a couple times, but I was like, no, I'll just chill here. You say hi and I'll. I'll be ready when you're back.

[Brooke]

Oh no.

[Jeffrey]

Oh yeah.

[Brooke]

So you, you stayed for four hours, you're committed.

[Alex]

I mean, she texted me a couple times. I was like, hey, what's going on? You know, and she said, no, I'm sorry, I want to. I'll be back soon. She was texting me.

[Brooke]

Ok. And she never once asked you to leave?

[Alex]

No, she didn't ask me to leave. She did say like, if you want to leave, you can.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. So you didn't take that as like a hint that maybe you should go?

[Alex]

Yeah, no, I mean, I don't know why I was. I made his hotel room. I'm going to stay. I'm going to wait it out. Just wait for her to come back.

[Brooke]

I can't tell my trying to get.

[Jeffrey]

Rid of you or not because the.

[Brooke]

Fact that she Is listening.

[Jeffrey]

The fact that she invited him, like, hey, come with me.

[Brooke]

Yeah, out of the room. Out of the room. He. She wanted him gone. And then she was gone for four hours just in hopes that he would actually be gone by the time his.

[Jeffrey]

Hunky, shirtless body and was intimidated and was like, I need some more liquid courage in order to deal with this hunk of a man.

[Brooke]

What did she say? Did she say that when she came back into the hotel room?

[Alex]

Not with those words, no. She. You know, it was about midnight. At that point, she got back and. But first she was apologizing. She's like, oh, my friend, you know, we just catching up. We had to talk. I was like, okay, yeah, no worries. And then she finally was like, well, I have an early meeting. And, yeah, I think I finally got the hint at that point.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's when you got the hint?

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So how did you leave it?

[Alex]

I just said, oh, yeah, no worries, and kind of left. But I feel like we had a good time before that, you know, her friend just kind of got in the way.

[Brooke]

Oh, this is hurting me.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

So wait, what do you. What do you want? Like, you want to go out with her again?

[Alex]

Yeah, I want to go out with her. I made it to the hotel room. That's the only time I've ever been invited to a hotel room.

[Brooke]

Because you asked to see the decor.

[Jeffrey]

It is kind of a smooth line, though.

[Brooke]

I doubt when it's sincere, Jeffrey.

[Alex]

She could have said no.

[Bethenny Frankel]

I bet she realized that now.

[Brooke]

Have you texted or called her? Have you talked to Tiffany at all?

[Alex]

I texted her. I said we should hang out sometime. You have her back? She just said, sounds like a plan.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah. That's easy to say when you live out of town.

[Brooke]

You think that's good? I don't think that's good.

[Jeffrey]

I don't think it is. She could have said no.

[Brooke]

Can I.

[Alex]

Can I confess something to you all?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know if I want you to.

[Alex]

I just. I. There's one thing. You know, people always ask, like, is there anything that could have made it weird? I do sometimes photoshop my pictures.

[Tiffany]

Okay, we did.

[Brooke]

I don't think that's it. I was gonna guess it was a shirtless one. I think the weird part was you.

[Jeffrey]

Being in the hotel room for the hope is dwindling. Let's. Let's come back and try and get you a second date update right after this. Hold on.

[Bethenny Frankel]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

Look, we have a listener who has Come to us with a problem.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

He needs our wisdom, our encouragement. And what we don't need, Brooke, is your condescending size and. Oh, honey.

[Brooke]

I didn't say honey once.

[Jeffrey]

I don't think this is cringe slamming his interest in hotel decor.

[Brooke]

Listen, he called for honesty, all right? No, he did not.

[Jeffrey]

He did not ask for honesty. He asked for help to get another date. You have a responsibility, Brooke, to our listener here. We need to stand up and be an advocate for the Photoshop shirtless men of this world.

[Brooke]

Oh, man.

[Jeffrey]

Not a lot of guys would have the willpower, the mental fortitude to wait alone in a woman's hotel room for four hours after she excused herself. But Alex did, and we need to show him some respect. Gosh darn it. Yeah, tell him how impressed you are. He's persistent, bro.

[Brooke]

Alan.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, Alex. Could you at least get his name right?

[Alex]

Okay, Alex wanted me there.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I don't think she did, buddy. But, like, buddy, I think she was missing an opportunity because I think you sound like a nice person. Okay.

[Alex]

You think she might want to go for a second date?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Alex, do you feel supported by Brooke's words there?

[Alex]

I feel like she's being nice, but I'm glad she trying anyways.

[Brooke]

All right, there we go.

[Jeffrey]

He knows that you can't do your job or you aren't willing to help him, but he's still going to stick through it, just like he stuck around in that girl's hotel room. All right, let's call her and try and get you a second day. You ready, Alex?

[Alex]

I'm ready.

[Jeffrey]

All right, I believe.

[Announcer]

Let's do it.

[Brooke]

We got this, team.

[Tiffany]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, we're looking for Tiffany.

[Tiffany]

This is she.

[Jeffrey]

What's up, Tiffany?

[Announcer]

You're.

[Jeffrey]

You're on the radio right now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning?

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Tiffany]

What. What is this about?

[Jeffrey]

This is about something we do on our show called a second date update, where we try and help our listeners reconnect with people that they met up with online or went on a date with.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And you met up with a guy recently named Alex. Right, Alex? Does something bite you?

[Brooke]

Is that what you got? Oh, man. I bet it was a memorable night.

[Tiffany]

Yeah, you could. You could say that.

[Alex]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Sounded pretty fun from our end of the conversation. That was our takeaway.

[Brooke]

I mean, I think the first half hour, maybe, when they were actually hanging.

[Jeffrey]

Out, there was definitely good moments. We've heard.

[Tiffany]

Yeah. I mean, look, I was just trying to have some fun, you know, it was a work trip. I hopped on the app thought maybe we could hang out, have dinner.

[Jeffrey]

Mission accomplished. Fun achieved.

[Brooke]

Okay, so what did you think when you first saw Alex?

[Tiffany]

I could tell pretty quickly that, like, he was a nice guy, but we weren't necessarily a good match. And, you know, even, like, in his pictures, he seemed like a kind of nice, wholesome guy. And when we met up, he was really nice. And I don't know, he seemed really interested in my trip and what hotel I was staying at.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah, he. He was mentioning that to us and that he wanted to see what the decor in your hotel looked like.

[Brooke]

And we thought it was, like, just a line, but it sounds like he was truly interested in the decor.

[Jeffrey]

A passion. Wholesome.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Tiffany]

Yeah. It wasn't a line. He, like, walked into the room and was, like, caressing the curtains. Like, the crown molding was mind blowing.

[Jeffrey]

That's actually fancy.

[Brooke]

I mean, what were you thinking when he's doing all this?

[Tiffany]

I mean, I mostly was too turned on. No, just, you know when, like, you take a risk and you say, like, is bringing this guy into my hotel room a good idea? Nobody really seems to be interested in this. But it wasn't. Anyway, it wasn't much, really, and I was ready for the evening to be over, so I said, oh, like, one of my friends is also in town, so I'm going to meet up with them in the lobby. Do you want to come with? And he just said, no.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's too early to be meeting the friends of the people that you're dating on night one. I think I want to get acquainted with this crown molding over here.

[Brooke]

What? Wait, so the friend wasn't made up? The friend was real?

[Tiffany]

Oh, no, the friend was entirely made up.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you lied to him. That sweet, innocent man.

[Brooke]

Why would you ask him to go with you then? Like, what?

[Tiffany]

I mean, at this point, I was just trying to figure out a way to get him to leave the room because it didn't feel like he was going to. So, you know, I thought maybe I'd get in the elevator and I jump off or something. I don't know what the solution was.

[Alex]

Jump off that valley.

[Jeffrey]

You came into the hallway, not, like, down the elevator shaft. So he was in there, he said, for hours. And you never came back?

[Tiffany]

Yeah, I was trying to figure out what I was going to do to get this bikery man out of my hotel room and trapped.

[Jeffrey]

Out of your own hotel room?

[Brooke]

And it's not because you felt threatened by him or anything.

[Tiffany]

It's just he was never mean, you know? He was, he was persistent. And obviously I made a mistake taking him there, but he, you know, was polite when I came back, and he didn't make a pass or anything. It was just kind of a.

[Jeffrey]

Well, overall, gotta go to work in the morning, and, I mean, he's, he's not good at picking up the hints, but overall, he sounds like a nice guy.

[Tiffany]

Yeah, I thought that until the next day when I checked out of the hotel.

[Brooke]

Why?

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Tiffany]

Oh, yeah. So apparently he ordered a movie to the room while I was gone. And I was like, well, I didn't watch anything. You know, I saw the bill and they said, well, it was rented at this time to your room. And I looked at it and it was. I don't even know how to describe this movie other than it's titled Flutter Island.

[Brooke]

Flutter. Hey.

[Alex]

Hey. I, I, I kind of. Can I, I have to say something here.

[Jeffrey]

Now, is that like a planet Earth, like, butterfly special?

[Alex]

No, no, no.

[Jeffrey]

Hold on, Tiffany. That, that was. That's Alex. He's been on the other line listening this whole time. Wanted to talk to you, but. What was the name of the movie?

[Tiffany]

Flutter Island.

[Jeffrey]

Oh. Oh, yeah. Like Shutter Island.

[Brooke]

But that is so uncomfortable.

[Jeffrey]

It's not a documentary.

[Brooke]

Why would you do that, Alex?

[Alex]

I mean, first of all, I went down and I paid the guy with cash and I told him to take it off the bill, so. That should have never happened.

[Brooke]

That is like.

[Alex]

Of course I would have never made you pay for that. I. That's on the hotel.

[Brooke]

No. Gross. Dude. You were in her room. She had to sleep in that bed. That is disgusting.

[Jeffrey]

He didn't do anything in there. He just watched a movie.

[Brooke]

No, he didn't.

[Jeffrey]

We don't know what he did.

[Brooke]

I don't want to know what he did.

[Alex]

Nothing happened. Nothing happened. And she. It wouldn't have happened if she hadn't lied to me.

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

He was up there for four hours. What else is he gonna do?

[Brooke]

Leave?

[Alex]

You were taking such a long time, and I thought, you know, I thought it maybe helped me get in the mood and, you know, in case something did happen, and it didn't. Nothing happened. Which is fine. Oh, and that wasn't even supposed to be on your bill.

[Brooke]

I'm sorry.

[Tiffany]

It's not. It being on my bill that is the problem here. You get that, right?

[Alex]

What did you want me to do?

[Tiffany]

They said it. Leave. Leave. It's not your space. Why would you think it's okay to rent a movie in the first place?

[Jeffrey]

Well, he thinks something's gonna happen Though it doesn't matter. You may know that, but no one said leave.

[Brooke]

It's her room. It's not his room. It's her room, her space. You invaded it a little different.

[Alex]

I was invited. But yes, I see that now.

[Jeffrey]

Oh my God, he has a point. And I think he's still interested in seeing you one more time. Tiffan, if you're up for seeing him again, we would pay for a date to go out wherever you live.

[Alex]

I'll cover the flight. I just. You know, Tiffany, I think we did have a good time and that part of it was weird, but I think, you know, communication wise, we'll get better at that and we should try again.

[Brooke]

How could you be that clueless, Alex?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's called persistence, Brooke.

[Bethenny Frankel]

No, it's not.

[Brooke]

It's called idioticy. That's not even a word. What is idiotic? I don't know.

[Bethenny Frankel]

Dumbness.

[Brooke]

I don't know.

[Alex]

Hey, she wasn't even supposed to know about. About that. It was. I asked the guy to pay. I paid him with cash. Where did that go? You have to. We should make a complaint to the hotel.

[Jeffrey]

Actually, it's a Ricky dink hotel's fault. Some guy made 20 bucks at the.

[Brooke]

Front desk and is just laughing right now. Yeah, he did. He did. You are not gonna ask this question.

[Jeffrey]

Come on, give Alex one more chance. Don't let that hotel's mistake ruin a shot at love between two weirdos.

[Brooke]

Just saying this time you could invite him into your apartment and he could just end up living there.

[Jeffrey]

Plus I just googled it. There's a Slutter Island 2. You guys have to watch that together. We'll pay for it, Tiffany.

[Tiffany]

You know, I think I'd rather sit in the hotel lobby for three nights straight.

[Brooke]

Hey, I don't know that that's clear to Alex. You may just need to say no.

[Bethenny Frankel]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Is Bethenny Frankel from Just Be with Bethenny Frankel.

[Brooke]

It is a new year and everyone is trying to get it together. If we are making a fresh start for ourselves, why wouldn't we make a fresh start for our dogs?

[Bethenny Frankel]

Biggie and Smalls are my babies and I love Just Food for Dogs because it is real.

[Brooke]

[Bethenny Frankel]

[Jeffrey]

Here's the question for my co host. I want to know, did renting the movie sink his ship or was it the movie choice?

[Brooke]

The movie choice. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

It was fully 100. The movie choice.

[Jeffrey]

Well, he was watching like Minions by himself. Yeah, that would have been okay.

[Brooke]

How do you not know this? Why are you even asking? How is this seen?

[Jeffrey]

Slutter island, bro.

[Brooke]

No, Jeffrey, it's not how I say.

[Jeffrey]

That it's a bad movie if you've.

[Brooke]

Never even seen it because I won't allow myself to to even say that title out loud.

[Jeffrey]

That was Martin Horses best directed film. I bet it was almost nominated for an Oscar. Yeah, and here we are shaming him for it. Just off the title alone, I'm sure.

[Brooke]

Starring Matt Damon.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Ruth Bader Ginsburg documentary. If he had watched that, he would have been a freaking hero.

[Brooke]

Loved it. Slept with him the same night.

[Jeffrey]

That would have been hot. Another ship sunk by Slutter Island. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Bethenny Frankel]

Here's the truth no one in pet food wants to say out loud. If it isn't just fresh from just food for dogs, it isn't fresh period. Because a lot of fresh dog foods in those cute little packages, they're not 100% human grade, they're not backed by real science, and they're definitely not something you could eat unless you enjoy mystery meat puree with a side of marketing spin. Just Fresh is different. It's real Beef, chicken, sweet potatoes, green beans. Actual food you recognize. It's cooked daily in real kitchens. Vets recommend it. Dogs lose their minds for it. And honestly, if your dog could talk, they'd ask you why you ever fed them anything else. New Year, New you. But what about your dog's fresh start? Make the switch. Make it just fresh from just food for dogs. Get 50% off your first [e-mail] that's just food for dogs.
