Brooke
Second date update. Not sure if you remember this, but a few months ago, one of our listeners named Michael did an awkward Tuesday phone call because he had this female friend who was complaining to him about how lonely she was all the time.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
So he wanted to convince his best friend to date her just to get miss sad face out of his hair.
Jeffrey
I do remember this. I can't remember how it turned out.
Brooke
But I remember it doesn't really matter. I guess we did a good enough job helping him with that situation that Michael now trusts us completely. So much so that almost a year later, he wants us to do a second date update. Michael, it's good to have you back on on the show, dude.
Michael
Hey, it's great to be back. Thanks for having me.
Jeffrey
How does it feel to, like, lower your standards of advice this low?
Michael
Well, I think you guys are gonna help me out.
Jeffrey
Oh, okay.
Brooke
It is our honor and privilege to be able to assist you with your love life today, Michael. So tell us what's going on.
Michael
I want you to know that before I started dating, even before I had you guys help me advice with my friend, I was in a long relationship before then it ended messy. So I was definitely taking a long break from dating. But now I'm back out there.
Jeffrey
Okay. How's it feel?
Michael
I feel all right. I mean, I finally got on the apps, but why I need your advice is somebody I met in real life not on the apps.
Jeffrey
That's fun. How'd you do that?
Michael
Well, her name's Megan, and I met her at the grocery store.
Brooke
Dude, that's like, such a stereotype. People say the best place to meet a chick.
Jeffrey
Do they really say that?
Michael
The grocery?
Brooke
Yeah. Well, I don't know why, but they.
Jeffrey
Say that I stop wearing my AirPods to the grocery store.
Brooke
Romantic at the grocery store. Especially when they have the thunder over by the produce section setting the mood in the rainstorm. That's hot. Dude, the timing was this. How did you meet Megan there?
Michael
Just. We caught each other's eyes, and then we kept finding each other on almost every aisle.
Jeffrey
Oh, you need bread, too? I needed bread. Okay. That's kind of cute.
Michael
Yeah. To the point where, like, she jokingly had to ask me, are you following me? With a smile?
Jeffrey
I love she's joking. Well, I mean, I'll tell you, when women say that, it's like joking. But also, we also need to know one hand.
Brooke
One hand on the pepper spray. Yeah. All right.
Michael
You know, I asked her right back, though. Are you following me? And that started up like a mall conversation. We just talked about what was in our cart, you know?
Jeffrey
Oh, yeah, you're going to make tacos tonight, huh? Yeah.
Brooke
You guys went deep on that first convo. My God. Yeah.
Michael
And that led to me asking her her number.
Jeffrey
I just went for it.
Brooke
Yeah.
Michael
And so, yeah, I got her number.
Brooke
Wow. Well, that must make you feel really confident after, like, you said, you went through that tough breakup for a. Like a year ago. Finally going out into the world and meeting somebody that you connect with instantly.
Jeffrey
What have people been complaining about? This is so easy.
Brooke
Did it lead to an actual date?
Michael
It did. Yeah.
Jeffrey
And there was no ghosting involved. Well, except for now.
Brooke
Look how jaded we all are in this room. Like, you met again. Oh, my God.
Michael
Well, you're jumping ahead. There was some ghosting, so. Okay, yeah, I mean, we. We did meet up. I suggested we go out for dinner, like at a restaurant just to get to know her more, but she countered with just like, I don't feel like going out. Can we just watch a movie? And I said, sure. And she suggested my place.
Brooke
Suggested your place? That's a great sign, bro.
Jeffrey
Is it? Or I mean, like, are you. Because I feel like it's a good sign for just like a one night hangout situation. It's not a good sign if you're.
Brooke
I just meant it's a good sign that she's comfortable enough to come to you. I can be that she stole Brooks line. I think it's a very good sign. So how did it go?
Michael
I felt very comfortable and relaxed. We just. All we ended up doing was just watching a movie, had a couple of drinks. Oh, that's.
Brooke
Wait, you guys didn't fool around? That's.
Michael
No. Didn't lead to any of that.
Jeffrey
That's okay. It's the first hangout.
Brooke
Okay. This isn't like Brooks hangout.
Jeffrey
Yeah, you're not wr. Wrong, Jeff.
Michael
So then I thought the night would go on a little longer, but she said she had to go and get something from her car real quick. She's like, I gotta run to my car real quick. I didn't even think of It. I was having a good time and that's when she just never came back.
Brooke
What a dramatic way to leave.
Michael
Whoa.
Jeffrey
I feel like that's something Alexis would do. Like she just doesn't know how to say, I really would literally dip out.
Brooke
Or is this a trail? Like, oh, wait, I left it at home.
Jeffrey
It's same with when you're meeting someone at a second bar, like a restaurant to a bar. It's like, see you there. Yeah.
Brooke
It's a little concerning though. Did you reach out to her afterwards?
Michael
Yeah, I was concerned. I'm like, I hope no one snatched her up or something. I call. I even called the number. I mean, no. No reply for quite a bit. And then she finally got back to me and all. She just sent a text over and it just said, hey, sorry, it's not going to work out between us. That was it.
Brooke
We're so jaded. You're right, because I think that's polite. I'm like, oh, that's nice of her.
Jeffrey
But she ditched him into his face.
Brooke
But it's weird that there's no explanation for why.
Michael
Yeah, exactly.
Brooke
After she invited herself to hang out at your apartment.
Jeffrey
But I don't feel like your own explanation after only one hangout, Jeff. Like, yeah, that's.
Brooke
That's a good point too. It's not like going out.
Jeffrey
That's the thing. Like, oh, but we want it. Do you want. Do you want to see her again?
Michael
I just want to know what was the turn off? Because I'm confused. Was it my apartment? Was it something I did? I don't know. It just.
Jeffrey
I like that you're blaming yourself. That's a good start.
Michael
Okay, this might lead to me being embarrassed. Who cares? Let's find out what I did so.
Brooke
I can, you know, if there's something wrong that you're doing, it's good to know it up ahead of time. So let's come back. We're gonna call Megan for you, Michael. Oh, so weird. Brooke's husband and Brooks best friend's name. Don't think about that when we do our next call here. You took her line ye telling me it's gonna be bad when we do Here. Second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update. It was the comeback after the romantic setback. Followed by a slight drawback. Oh, okay. Cuz our listener Michael finally got back into the dating game after going through a tough breakup about a year ago.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Didn't find his match online though. Found her in the grocery store.
Jeffrey
Yes.
Brooke
Holding two big. Cantaloupes What? At least that's Jose's dream of how they met. But her name was Megan. And eventually they arranged a little Netflix and chill night back at Michael's apartment, which went really well and was her idea.
Jeffrey
That was her idea. It's very important to mention.
Brooke
Things kind of fell apart, though, when she said she had to grab something from her car and never returned.
Jeffrey
Yeah. I'm wondering if she was. Was hoping for something more that never was materializing.
Brooke
Oh, that he didn't.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Yeah. They watched the whole movie. Yeah.
Brooke
I was like, you guys didn't do anything. Was the had to grab something from the car thing a lie? Alexis says yes, from experience. But we don't know that.
Jeffrey
Yes, we do. She didn't.
Brooke
We don't know anything for sure. We do know it's not a good sign. Alexis is still confused on what a lie is.
Jeffrey
The point is she didn't want to be there.
Brooke
Okay. That would mean that she lied.
Jeffrey
Yes.
Brooke
Okay. But again, we don't know. We just know it's not a good sign. Also not a good sign. Megan texted him days later confirming it's not going to work. That's why.
Jeffrey
No. After all of those things, Jeff, I think it's very.
Brooke
We need to be impartial people in the middle here. Isn't that right, Michael? You want an impartial audience.
Michael
Like, I am very hopeful that I'm going to get something positive out of that. It'll be an easy correction to make.
Jeffrey
I think your positivity is really sweet.
Brooke
Do you hear the condescending tone in her voice? Yeah.
Michael
I'm not hopeful to get another date out of this. It's not like trying to get her back with me. I just want to become better at dating.
Jeffrey
Okay. And that's sweet. Yeah.
Brooke
Sweet that you think you can get better.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Okay, well, we're all gonna try our best for you here, Michael. Let's call Megan for you and see if she answers and what she has to say. Here we go.
Jeffrey
Foreign.
Brooke
Hi, we're looking to talk with Megan.
Megan
Speaking.
Jeffrey
Oh, hey, Megan.
Megan
Hey. Hello.
Brooke
You're awfully chipper.
Jeffrey
I'd be so scared if I got.
Brooke
A group phone call. Yeah, because I don't know if you realize you're on the radio right now with a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Megan
Are you serious?
Brooke
Yes.
Jeffrey
Welcome to the show, Megan.
Megan
Oh, hi, guys. I guess thanks for answering.
Michael
Okay.
Brooke
I don't know how to deal with this positivity on the other end. We don't normally get this We've got.
Jeffrey
Two positive people that we've talked to today.
Brooke
That's true. You don't know this, Megan, but earlier, the other positive person we spoke to was a guy named Michael that you went on a date with.
Megan
Are you serious?
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
We loved his energy, too.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Megan
Oh, my.
Jeffrey
Oh, my God. You're just freaking out.
Brooke
You sound excited, but. No, that's the word. Well, I don't know.
Jeffrey
What.
Megan
Okay, wait. You said Michael. Like, Michael called you?
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Well.
Brooke
Well, because we're doing something called a second date update. We're trying to help him figure out if when you two hung out and did Netflix over at his apartment, if something went wrong during that night because.
Jeffrey
Well, he knows something went wrong because you left and didn't come back.
Brooke
Well, we don't know what the problem was, if it was on your end, if something he did.
Megan
Oh, my gosh. I cannot believe this is happening.
Brooke
Wait, I have a limited time, so we need to have you believe sooner. So start to believe. You're on the radio now.
Jeffrey
Are you excited to hear Michael's name again?
Megan
I don't know if I'd say excited.
Jeffrey
Okay, okay.
Megan
Embarrassed.
Brooke
Embarrassed for you?
Megan
Absolutely. 100%.
Jeffrey
Why? I thought it was amazing. Why? What happened?
Megan
Okay, I don't even know where to begin. I really don't even know if I should tell you.
Jeffrey
Oh, my God. No. We love humiliating stories. We are walking embarrassments to everyone that we know. Like, you are in the right company.
Brooke
We're really just trying to help out Michael because he's really concerned, feeling like he did something wrong on the date. Yeah.
Megan
So let me just say, I've never done anything like this before.
Jeffrey
What do you mean?
Brooke
Alexis says that on the first date, too, a lot, so I know that move. Oh, I swear.
Megan
But seriously, guys, I'm a good person. I promise.
Brooke
What are you talking about?
Jeffrey
With anything.
Megan
Okay, so I kind of didn't bump into Michael at the grocery store. Like, not by accident.
Jeffrey
What do you mean?
Brooke
What?
Megan
I don't know if he told you, like, we met in a grocery store or not.
Brooke
Yeah, he said you guys, like, randomly kept bumping into each other kind of multiple times in the store.
Megan
Yeah, well, I'm kind of like, I know his ex girlfriend.
Jeffrey
Wait, what?
Megan
Yeah, like, we're in a book club together. So, you know, we're girl pals. We chill, we talk, you know?
Michael
And.
Jeffrey
Wait, so you saw him in the grocery store by chance or you went there because you knew he was going to be there?
Megan
Yeah, I kind of followed him there because why? She basically was like venting one day and she was like, my ex boyfriend won't give me back my guitar. So my God, one thing leads to the next and. Yeah, so we kind of set up to, you know, run into Michael at the grocery store.
Jeffrey
The whole thing was a setup. So you could go in and steal her guitar back. He didn't see you leave with the guitar?
Megan
I didn't steal anything that's hers.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
Yeah. At least that's what she says.
Jeffrey
Returned it.
Brooke
What really happens at book club? You don't read any books.
Jeffrey
You do the book for like 15, 20 minutes, you discuss it, and then.
Brooke
You plot revenge against all of your exes for the rest of the time.
Jeffrey
I mean, if it needs to happen, it needs to happen. I mean, she's not getting revenge. She's just trying to get her guitar back. That's different. I have had reconnaissance missions like this myself. I know.
Brooke
That's like another 20 minute long story that we don't need to get into. The important thing that we need to get to here. Megan is letting you know that Michael is actually on the other line right now listening to this conversation.
Jeffrey
It's fine. I mean, it's not like you're ever gonna see him again.
Brooke
Well, kind of ruins your plan.
Michael
I mean.
Jeffrey
What do you mean? Didn't she already get the guitar?
Brooke
Michael, are you hearing this?
Michael
Yeah. I do not know what to say right now.
Megan
Michael. Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry. I really am.
Michael
Unbelievable. Tell me, is the guitar from my house gone?
Megan
Yeah, I slipped it outside the door when I went to the bathroom.
Brooke
That's so. I mean, devious, cunning. I.
Jeffrey
But Jeffrey is like, doesn't. You're stunned.
Brooke
I'm. I'm shocked. I didn't see this coming because, I mean, what is the history of the guitar? Whose guitar is it?
Michael
It's my ex's. Yeah, like why the hell.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Why are you holding on to it?
Michael
It was a gift. I just held on to it. It was a messy end. I don't want to get into it at all, but I'm trying to get better.
Brooke
You're trying to get better?
Jeffrey
When you say it's a messy breakup, this makes it a messy.
Brooke
You're not helping.
Jeffrey
It's not like you are the issue.
Brooke
Some women like. Some women hold like onto the sweaters from their ex boyfriends and cry. He holds on to his ex girlfriend's guitar and cries into it, which is expensive.
Jeffrey
Dirty old sweatshirt.
Megan
Yeah, I'm sorry, man. She just said like, basically you kept Making excuses. So I wanted to help her out.
Jeffrey
Oh, yeah.
Michael
I just didn't want to see her kind of thing. It wasn't really about keeping it out of a spider or anything.
Jeffrey
Could have left it somewhere.
Megan
I will say, like, you are a really nice guy. Like, you were really hospitable. You were really cordial. You didn't try anything crazy.
Brooke
And you're not even mad hearing about this like, elaborate plan to get the guitar back out from under your nose.
Michael
It's more amazing that you pulled it off. And why would I be angry about that?
Jeffrey
I think it's amazing you didn't know it was missing.
Brooke
Yeah, well, he doesn't sounds like he doesn't play. Yeah, that's more his girlfriend's thing. But is there still, like, was there ever romantic connection between you two, Megan and Michael?
Jeffrey
Wait, you're going to make that happen?
Brooke
Isn't that the goal of this call?
Megan
Sorry, Michael, I'm actually engaged, so.
Jeffrey
And you went out with a guy.
Brooke
Does your engaged fiance know about this?
Jeffrey
Probably. It's kind of a funny story.
Megan
Oh yeah, he knows all about it and he thinks it's hilarious.
Brooke
And you know, oh my God, his Internet is kind of funny.
Michael
I'm happy I didn't make a move.
Brooke
So. Yeah. Okay, well, clearly there's no connection between the two of you. But Megan, Michael did want to get some dating advice out of this segment. Do you have any that you want to share with him to maybe help him out going forward?
Megan
Yeah, Michael, you definitely got to be more aware of your surroundings. And don't bring people to your house.
Brooke
Okay, that's.
Jeffrey
You didn't notice someone stalked you to a grocery store?
Brooke
Just assume every girl you meet wants to steal something from you.
Jeffrey
Yeah.

Podcast Summary: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update Classic: Secret Mission
Episode Details:
In this episode of Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, the dynamic hosts delve into the intricacies of modern dating, focusing on the challenges of securing a second date after an initial encounter. The episode centers around a listener named Michael, who seeks guidance after a perplexing date experience with a woman named Megan. Brooke and Jeffrey aim to unravel the mystery behind Megan's sudden ghosting and provide Michael with actionable advice to navigate his love life.
Timestamp: 02:50
Brooke introduces the segment by recounting Michael's previous interaction with the show, where he sought help in convincing his best friend to date a lonely female friend. Michael returns almost a year later, now ready to re-enter the dating scene after a messy breakup.
Michael explains that unlike his previous venture into dating through apps, he met Megan organically at a grocery store—a setting Brooke humorously labels as stereotypical.
Timestamp: 05:22
Michael describes his initial date with Megan, which began promisingly with mutual grocery store encounters leading to an invitation for a "Netflix and chill" evening at his apartment. The date proceeds smoothly, with both parties appearing comfortable and relaxed.
However, the evening takes an abrupt turn when Megan excuses herself to retrieve something from her car and subsequently disappears without explanation. Michael's confusion escalates as Megan later sends a terse text ending their budding relationship.
Timestamp: 11:08
Determined to understand what went wrong, Brooke and Jeffrey decide to call Megan live on the show. This bold move aims to provide Michael with transparency and closure.
Megan answers the call, visibly embarrassed, and reveals startling information about the true nature of her encounter with Michael.
Timestamp: 15:00
Megan discloses that her meeting with Michael wasn't as coincidental as it initially appeared. Instead, it was orchestrated to retrieve her ex-girlfriend's guitar, which Michael had been holding onto.
She admits that her actions were motivated by a desire to reclaim the guitar, not by romantic disinterest.
This revelation paints Megan's ghosting not as a lack of interest but as part of a calculated plan to retrieve the guitar under the guise of a romantic encounter.
Timestamp: 18:44
The episode culminates with Michael processing the unexpected twist. Brooke and Jeffrey emphasize the importance of awareness and caution in dating, highlighting how well-intentioned actions can sometimes have unintended consequences.
Megan’s involvement reveals a complex layer of motivations beyond typical dating misunderstandings, prompting Michael—and listeners alike—to consider deeper aspects of trust and intentions in romantic pursuits.
Key Takeaways:
This episode of Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning masterfully blends humor with heartfelt advice, shedding light on the unpredictable nature of dating in the modern age. Through Michael and Megan's story, listeners gain insights into the complexities of human relationships, the importance of genuine connections, and the value of seeking clarity in romantic endeavors.
