Overview

This episode of Brooke and Jeffrey’s “Second Date Update” features two classic tales of dating disaster. In each, a woman is left hanging after a promising first meeting, and the show’s crew steps in with their signature mix of sharp commentary, awkwardness, and empathetic attempts to get to the bottom of the mystery—often revealing that modern dating pitfalls are as much about mixed signals and self-perception as they are about apps and algorithms.

Rich with memorable moments, zippy one-liners, and a real look at what happens when values and expectations clash, this episode serves not only as entertainment but as a modern parable of the digital love landscape.

Segment 1: 401 Not Ok (Jossie & Sean)

[00:53] – [19:00]

Main Theme:
Jossie, struggling to get attention on dating apps, adds her stellar credit score to her profile and is suddenly inundated with matches—including Sean. After their first date, Sean ghosts her, and Jossie wants to know why.

---

Key Discussion Points and Insights

• Online Dating Hack

  • Jossie shares she was getting almost no matches and felt invisible on dating apps despite being “not bad looking” ([04:37], Jossie).
  • Her “hack”: adding her credit score (an impressive 804) and changing “gold digger” to “goal digger” in her profile ([05:45]–[06:28]).
  • Quote:

    “I put 804 and then I put ‘goal digger’ instead of gold digger.” – Jossie ([06:19])

• First Date Vibes

  • After banter about finances and Jossie's financial skills, Sean and Jossie agree to meet for drinks.
  • The date: Jossie arrives 15 minutes late (she claims Sean wasn’t upset), but the conversation is more practical than flirty, dominated by budgeting and financial advice. She recommends a tax person to Sean ([07:31]–[08:15]).
  • Memorable exchange:

    “I gave him a recommendation for a tax person. He was so excited.” – Jossie ([08:06]) “All the hosts in the room are coming off like this is a bad thing. I think it’s sexy, by the way.” – Jeffrey ([08:15])

• Post-Date Confusion

  • No kiss, no flirty ending—just an exchange of financial contacts ([08:23]).
  • Jossie texts Sean after, but receives no response after over a week ([09:00]).

---

Calling Sean: The Real Reason

[11:42]–[19:00]

• Sean’s Perspective

  • Sean recounts that Jossie was late because she stopped to find the cheapest gas and went to the dollar store for paper towels. He’s bemused, not annoyed about her being late, but about her extreme thriftiness ([13:37]).

    “She was trying to find, like, the cheapest gas ... then she stopped at the Dollar store because they had the best paper towel at the best price.” – Sean ([13:41])

• The Ranch Dressing Incident

  • The tipping point: at dinner, Sean orders fries with a side of ranch dressing, and when the waitress says the ranch is $0.75 extra, Jossie cancels the ranch for him (“He doesn’t need it, okay?”).
  • Quote:

    “She canceled your ranch.” – Josh ([15:18]) “Don’t you ever cancel my ranch.” – Josh ([15:20])

  • Jossie defends her move, saying she could make a whole bottle of ranch for $0.75 ([15:44]).
  • Jeffrey and Brooke interject, noting that while financial savvy is admirable, policing small pleasures isn’t sexy.

• Jossie’s Response:

  • Jossie insists her thrifty habits are strengths and looks for someone who sees it as positive, not cheap ([17:53]):

    “I want someone that looks at my strategizing with my money and thinks that’s a great thing instead of thinking I’m cheap.” – Jossie ([17:53])

• Hosts’ Takeaway:

  • The date fizzles out—the two don’t align on what’s admirable or attractive in financial behaviors.
  • Playful host banter closes the segment, with predictions of a future “paper towel showdown” at the dollar store ([18:48]).

---

Notable Quotes

• “You can get stuck on a subject, you know, like, that’s easy to...” – Brooke ([08:44])
• “If we were in a relationship, I will not be chastised about paying an extra 75 cents for some ranch.” – Sean ([14:42])
• “He better get there early because I’m blocking him out if he’s there.” – Jossie ([18:48])

Segment 2: Offline and Oblivious (Donna & Eric)

[22:10] – [38:50]

Main Theme:
Donna meets Eric the old-fashioned way—at a shared festival picnic table—and is smitten after a fun, alcohol-free stroll through the city together. But after their evening, Eric ghosts her. Donna’s worried her secret—that she’s a (successful) OnlyFans creator—might be (or is destined to be) the issue.

---

Key Discussion Points and Insights

• An Offline Meet-Cute

  • Donna and a friend sit at a shared table during a food festival and quickly hit it off with Eric and another guy ([24:41]).
  • After the festival, Donna and Eric walk around, get dessert, and chat—no romantic moves, but Donna feels a strong connection ([25:42]–[25:59]).
  • Donna, apprehensive about why she hasn’t heard back, reveals hesitantly she’s a known OnlyFans creator ([27:53]):

    “I’m on OnlyFans.” – Donna ([27:53])

• Brooke's Reaction

  • Hosts gently probe for details (“is it PG-13 or more aggressive?” – [28:02]), while Donna notes her content is “leaning into rated R” and she’s “somewhat popular” ([28:20], [29:00]).
  • Donna appreciates this meeting because it felt organic and not transactional ([29:13]).

---

Calling Eric: The Real Reason

[32:10]–[38:44]

• Eric’s Impression

  • Eric describes Donna as sweet and cute, but says that after meeting her at the beer garden, he found her “more shy” and “conservative” during their solo time ([33:41]–[34:19]).
  • He perceived a “goody goody vibe,” labelling her “too innocent” for his tastes.

    “She seemed a little more outgoing ... and when we were on our date, she just seemed really shy ... she just kind of gave off goody goody vibes.” – Eric ([34:19]–[34:22])

  • He wants someone more “adventurous.”

• The Reveal & Wrap Up

  • Donna listens in and tries to assert that she does have a wild/adventurous side, but Eric remains unconvinced ([35:10]):

    “Maybe I do come across that way in one-on-one scenarios. But I'm adventurous. I do have quite an adventure.” – Donna ([35:34])

  • Eric doubles down: “You sound innocent to me, and you're just kind of trying to pretend to be someone you're not to please me...” ([36:48])
  • Donna gives up, wishing him well, and hints that maybe he’ll “see her online sometime” ([37:51]).
  • Hosts point out that Eric is missing the irony of calling Donna too innocent, despite her actual “adventurous” job.
  • After Eric hangs up, Donna wonders at his misplaced confidence in “reading people,” and hosts agree his mistake is classic ([38:44]).

---

Notable Quotes

• “I’m on OnlyFans.” – Donna ([27:53])
• “She just kind of gave off goody goody vibes.” – Eric ([34:22])
• “I do have quite an adventure – I’m an experienced woman.” – Donna ([36:15])
• “I think you made a mistake. And maybe I’ll see you online sometime.” – Donna ([37:51])

---

• [34:22] — Eric claims Donna is “too innocent”
• [35:34] — Donna asserts her adventurous nature
• [37:51] — Donna’s parting words (“see you online sometime”)

---

Memorable Moments & Host Banter

• Recurring jokes about thrift, ranch dressing, and napkin conservation—reflecting real-life generational differences in approaching value and dating quirks.
• Hosts riff on the “credit score as a dating currency” and tease each other over dating app stats and romantic dry spells.
• Entire OnlyFans twist is met with respectful curiosity and classic awkwardness from the male hosts (“We will definitely get your information during the break for Jose’s sake” ([28:45])).
• Several callers (Jossie/Donna) skillfully navigate awkwardness and attempt to own their quirks—whether that’s extreme frugality or sex work—serving as minor role models for dating authenticity and self-respect.
• “You canceled the ranch? Don’t you ever cancel my ranch.” – Josh ([15:20])
• “He better get there early because I’m blocking him out if he’s there.” – Jossie, on paper towel runs ([18:48])
• “I think you made a mistake. Maybe I’ll see you online sometime.” – Donna ([37:51])

---

Episode Takeaways

• Financial values and perceptions play a major (sometimes surprising) role in romantic compatibility.
• Self-presentation is everything—sometimes, what we think is attractive comes across as the opposite to the person across the table.
• In the transparent age, “the truth will out”—whether it’s frugality or a prominent online persona, people tend to find out what’s beneath the surface.
• Humorous, supportive hosts make it feel safe (and cathartic) for listeners to share their most cringeworthy moments.

---

Final Thoughts

This episode highlights just how challenging—and entertaining—it can be to date in the digital age, with storylines that blend modern dilemmas (apps, social media reputations) and timeless miscommunications (money, personality mismatches). Both segments show smart, self-aware women who ultimately reject incompatible partners and stand by their quirks and personalities. The comic relief from the hosts rounds it out, making for an hour of lighthearted but insightful radio.

Listen If You Like:

• Real-life dating comedy and awkwardness
• Modern dating “horror stories” with a twist of heart
• Unapologetic self-representation and humor in the face of rejection

Right now, just a double dose of our second dates. Hey, and just a reminder you can always follow us. You can?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

On socials. I was gonna say in person. I was gonna say you left a pause there. I wasn't sure where that was going. I needed new friends. Oh, you want them to fall? Yeah, Brooke and Jeffrey. And if you're not already on YouTube, we'd love you to be over there as well. We do all sorts of videos throughout the week that you can see us and be disappointed in how we look. Again, it's at Brook and Jeffrey. And your back to back classics start.

[Jeffrey]

Right now on a dating app. How do you go from getting just one or two matches a month to having over 50 guys drooling, begging you to marry them on the spot without changing a picture or telling a bold faced lie?

[Brooke]

They want to marry.

[Jeffrey]

It's not impossible. Cuz one of our listeners says it happened to her and all it took was adding three. Three little numbers to her bio.

[Brooke]

Numbers, girl, don't give your number out.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, I know.

[Josh]

Only three.

[Jeffrey]

It's not Brooke's total body count. Don't worry, there's as many. Many more numbers than that.

[Brooke]

It's just 999, which is fine.

[Jeffrey]

You'll find out what it was when we do your second date update. Next second date update. We're always talking about how much trouble guys have standing out on the dating apps. Yeah, we never really discuss the ladies and their struggles when they're online.

[Josh]

They don't have struggles, Jack.

[Brooke]

Yeah, of course they do. They have to deal with you. Yeah. Do you see what I'm saying?

[Josh]

I can see that.

[Brooke]

Duh. That's way worse.

[Jeffrey]

One of our listeners, Jossie, says that she's been trying for a bit till she finally figured out a dating hack that's worked for her like a charm.

[Brooke]

Oh, where she actually found, like a quality person online.

[Josh]

Yeah, that's also different. Maybe somebody looking for actual love.

[Jeffrey]

Well, she's gonna tell us about it so that Alexis can steal all the men.

[Josh]

Welcome to the show already.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Hey, guys. What's going on?

[Brooke]

We're interested in what's going on with you.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we have our notepads out so we can figure out what this hack is, but I guess maybe you should start with the guy that it worked on. What's his name?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

His name is Sean.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

And so what's. I mean, what is your problem with dating apps? Like, what do you struggle with?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I've been on dating apps for about six months, and I've heard of all these girls getting like hundreds of messages. Yeah, and unfortunately, I am Definitely not one of those women. And I don't know why. You know, like, I'm not bad looking.

[Josh]

Well, I can help. I can help with that. Why don't you just let me know?

[Brooke]

It's better if you're avoiding those messages.

[Jeffrey]

She wasn't fishing for anything there. I think she was just telling us.

[Josh]

I may be part of the problem.

[Brooke]

But it does feel like maybe there's something about your profile that isn't clicking right. For people.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Right?

[Brooke]

Is that what you were thinking?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah. There has to be something because again, I don't think I'm like, crazy bad looking or anything. Like, I do all the regular things. I put like what I like in my bio and everything.

[Jeffrey]

See, I can already see where you're messing up.

[Brooke]

Boring? Is that what you're saying?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Guys want someone that seems like they're really at a low point in their life.

[Melissa Jeltson]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Really struggling.

[Josh]

This girl is hot and desperate.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I can fix her.

[Brooke]

No, no. What did you change? You didn't add more desperation to your profile, did you know?

[Josh]

I'm so thirsty.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I don't think.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, what's your strategy then?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

So I actually added to my profile my credit score.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's funny. Yeah.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

This is a thing right now? Yeah, it's 804.

[Brooke]

Dang, girl.

[Jeffrey]

That's your credit score?

[Josh]

Girl, we're buying a house.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

I thought it was out of 800. What is the credit score out of?

[Jeffrey]

I think it's like 820.

[Melissa Jeltson]

No.

[Brooke]

820. You're right.

[Jeffrey]

We're not the most financially.

[Josh]

I know because I've been checking my credit.

[Brooke]

I'm guessing that Alexis doesn't put her credit score on her. I don't know where to find mine.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So wait, you. You put 804 in your profile? That's just what you said?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah, I put 804 and then I put gold digger instead of gold digger. Like G O A L.

[Jeffrey]

That's funny.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah, I guess people thought I was clever because, you know, after that it worked. And I got tons of messages from all these guys who were literally ready to like, marry me.

[Brooke]

I feel it.

[Josh]

You seem like you're immediately smart and.

[Brooke]

Driven, and despite what you two say, men do read.

[Josh]

What you didn't read.

[Jeffrey]

So it sounds like Sean was one of the guys that reached out to you.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah, so he reached out to me and we were just chatting like it was super fun, you know, and we did talk about my credit score and he made a cute joke about it and he was Like, I. Well, I said, you know, I hope just because I have an 804 credit score, you're not assuming I'm paying for the date, are you? And he's like, no, you're paying for the first three.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's funny.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Josh]

I like this.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah, right? So he seems, like, clever and cute, so I'm like, why not go to drinks with him?

[Brooke]

All right, what was it like when you met up with him?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

So I showed up a little late, I'm not gonna lie. Which might have been, you know, not the best. But, like, once I got there, it was so nice and he was great and we were getting really well.

[Brooke]

Okay. He didn't seem put off by you being late? Like, what, like, 15, 20 minutes?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah, it was like, 15 minutes.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

He didn't seem, like, mad or anything at me.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

But the only thing was that, like, we weren't as flirty as I was hoping. And, like, we did end up talking about, like, a lot of, like, budgeting and, like.

[Josh]

It'S like, the opposite problem.

[Brooke]

Or did he come to financial advice because you have your stuff together?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

No, literally, that's what I felt like. And then I gave him a recommendation for a tax person. He was so excited. Oh, God.

[Jeffrey]

All the hosts in the room around me are coming off like, this is a bad thing. I think it's sexy, by the way.

[Brooke]

She didn't even think it was hot.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Well, we didn't kiss, so, you know, that also just kind of threw me off instead. You know, I just kind of gave him the tax guy's number and it was like, good night. Okay, thanks.

[Josh]

So this guy sounds like you thought you were, like, a financial advisor, but.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Like, I feel like there could have been a spark if, like, we did change it up. Yeah, I moved on.

[Brooke]

I mean, you can get stuck on a subject, you know, like, that's easy to.

[Josh]

I mean, I can't stop thinking about my credit score right now, too, now that we brought it up, but is.

[Jeffrey]

It possible that you think maybe he, like, had the wrong intentions when he came into the date and just wanted that, and maybe he's not the right guy for you?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I'm wondering, because I texted him. I was, like, had so much fun. Like, just like a follow up text, and now he's not even responding, and it's been a week and a half.

[Brooke]

Have you talked to your tax person? Has he responded to him or her?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I didn't check in on that, but I definitely should. That's a good call.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Now that you fixed him financially. We just have to fix him romantically and get you guys on a second date.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Guys love to be fixed. That's what I.

[Brooke]

Women love fixing them.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Oh, God, Alexis. And I am a keeper.

[Josh]

Upper lady.

[Brooke]

Taking notes when we talk to Alexa.

[Jeffrey]

It's a perfect circle. We're going to complete it when we do your second date update. Next second date update. Do you find financial talk arousing? What? What?

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. My mom is so excited right now.

[Josh]

Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

My depreciating asset is in a class C stock.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Am I able to transfer the interest it incurs overseas?

[Josh]

Oh, is it compound penalty?

[Brooke]

Is there Google Translate? He took a different economy economics class than I did, I think.

[Jeffrey]

Or are you more like Jose, where every time he opens up his wallet, it's like an onion and it makes him cry?

[Josh]

Yeah. Wow, that's a long cry.

[Jeffrey]

I'm still going very depressing inside of that wallet.

[Josh]

I will say, when I open my portfolio, I do cry.

[Jeffrey]

Like that checks out.

[Josh]

It is awful.

[Jeffrey]

But one of our listeners is wondering if she was used for her financial expertise because she posted her excellent credit score right there on her dating app.

[Brooke]

And it worked. It got her so many messages, got.

[Jeffrey]

Her matched up with Sean, but instead of getting a kiss kiss at the end of their date, she ended up just giving him the contact info to her tax guy.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Which, I mean, great for him, not quite as sexy and good for her. Yeah, but she's not giving up. That's the good news.

[Brooke]

No, that is good. And I was just wondering, did you end up paying for the date, or did he? Because he made the joke. He made the joke that you were gonna pay because your credit score was so high.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

We split it.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Josh]

That'S not.

[Brooke]

Also not a sexy move.

[Josh]

I mean, financially responsible, but not hot.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

You know, it was. It was okay with me. I. I handle my business, so I don't care.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's just like, after the joke and then to still split it, you know?

[Josh]

You know, it would have been a joke and then have him pay.

[Brooke]

Right.

[Jeffrey]

You should have bankrolled him for a.

[Josh]

Year, and it would have been okay. And if you paid in Bitcoin.

[Jeffrey]

But let's get right into this call. Okay, I'm gonna dial Sean right now. We'll see what he has to say. Here we go.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Oh, Shawn, are you in the bathroom?

[Jeffrey]

Is this Sean?

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Yes, it is.

[Josh]

He's in a cage.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Who am I speaking with?

[Josh]

Are you mining right now?

[Jeffrey]

Your phone is a little bit echoey, Sean, but we're a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Does it sound better?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, sounds a little bit better.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Okay, so I was on my lunch break.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, well, I hate to interrupt you on your lunch break, Sean, but we do have some important business to discuss with you regarding a woman that you went out with recently named Jossie.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

A woman?

[Jeffrey]

You know, women, you know, they're like men, but with different parts.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Yeah, yeah, I'm familiar with women.

[Brooke]

Okay, do you remember.

[Jeffrey]

Sounded confused when I said woman. So I'm just clarifying.

[Brooke]

Do you remember your date with Jossie? You guys went to drink?

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Yes, Yes, I do.

[Brooke]

Okay, cool.

[Jeffrey]

Well, newsflash, she is a woman. And other news flash, she really liked you and wants to see you again.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Oh, well, that's really sweet of her.

[Brooke]

Okay, so that's a positive to you? Did you not think that already?

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

I mean, it was a good vibe, you know, it just was a little.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Not a.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

It wasn't a typical date. Our topic of discussion wasn't, you know, how you get to know someone. It wasn't like that.

[Josh]

Yeah, okay, Well, I think she wanted it to be a date, though.

[Jeffrey]

I'll be honest. We heard a little bit about your date from Jossy, and she mentioned that the talk went into, like, finances.

[Brooke]

She said it was a little stiff and. Yeah, a little bit too much financial.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Yeah, she was really money oriented.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Jeffrey]

I thought you were the one asking her some of the questions about how she got her credit score. So good.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

That was on her dating profile. So, you know, you want to kick it off with something that's in their bio.

[Brooke]

Right? Right. Yeah, I know it sounds like she got stuck in talking about it, and she felt like you guys never got to be flirty with each other.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Well, okay, so she was 15 minutes late to the date because she was trying to find, like, the cheapest gas. Like, there was some gas that was 7 cents less than all the other gas stations, and so she had to have that gas.

[Josh]

I think I know someone like that, go out of their way to save a couple bucks.

[Brooke]

She said you weren't bothered by her being late.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

I wasn't bothered about her being late. It was the reason why she was late. And then she stopped at the Dollar store because they had the best paper towel at the best price.

[Josh]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, she had to get that done before she met up with you. I mean, in her defense, those paper towels can be pretty expensive.

[Josh]

Yeah, they add one more layer, especially.

[Jeffrey]

Doing the friendly kind.

[Brooke]

You guys, Dollar tree. Why were you asking her about this.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

She was the one that brought it up. Like, she said, I was doing this and I was doing that.

[Josh]

Okay?

[Brooke]

Buying cheap gas and buying dollar store paper towels.

[Jeffrey]

All right, so she's thrifty. And you don't. You don't like that, man, she could.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Be thrifty all she wants.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, okay.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

But if we were in a relationship, I will not be chastised about paying an extra 75 cents for some ranch.

[Brooke]

Wait, What?

[Jeffrey]

Wait, what?

[Brooke]

Wait, is that a random example? Yeah, it's like a hypothetical. You're saying.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

No, no, that happened. That's not a hypothetical.

[Brooke]

What do you mean she chastised you?

[Jeffrey]

What happened?

[Josh]

Yeah, what does chastise even mean?

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

I ordered some French fries and I wanted a side of Ranch.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, you're speaking my language.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

And the waitress said, it'll be 75 cents.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, okay.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

And she was like, 75?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Damn.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Cancel the ranch. He doesn't need it, okay?

[Brooke]

She canceled your ranch.

[Josh]

Don't you ever cancel my ranch.

[Jeffrey]

That might cross a line.

[Brooke]

Wait, did you have to eat dry fries?

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

There was ketchup on the table.

[Josh]

Are you still dipping him in his water?

[Jeffrey]

I feel like Jossie has some splaining to do. And she can do that right now.

[Josh]

She owes you Ranch.

[Brooke]

We can come back from this.

[Josh]

I don't think so.

[Jeffrey]

I need to let you know, Sean, Joss, he's been on the other line listening, wanting to talk to you.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

You what? She's listening?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's how the segment works there.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yes, I'm there. Wow. It was. It was 75 cents. Like, I could make a whole bottle for 75 cents. I thought, you know, I was doing a favor. I wanted to make sure he was taken care of.

[Josh]

Who needs you to turn a bottle.

[Brooke]

Of Ranch, or however it's by the packets.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, you're on the date, and they say this is how much something costs you. You pay that.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

That's.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Josh]

That's not even restaurants work exactly. One thing, if it was like, oh, this steak is 50.

[Brooke]

But listen, you guys, she thought she was helping, okay? Right?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I. I don't know why. So I. I guess he was upset. He was upset. I was 15 minutes late.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

It's not because you were late, it was why you were late.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Waited any longer, I would have been out of the paper towels at the Dollar store.

[Brooke]

I bet they go fast.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah, yeah. They run out by six every single week. My last role, I needed to stop there. There's nothing I could have done, okay?

[Jeffrey]

It's a matter of life and death.

[Brooke]

You can look past that.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

No, she should have did. She should have taken the napkins from the restaurant. I'm surprised she didn't do that.

[Jeffrey]

Who's the financial expert now, Josh?

[Josh]

Are you guys gonna just be stealing napkins?

[Jeffrey]

You are like a dynamic duo.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Do you do that? That's honestly not a bad idea. That was good thinking.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, now you piqued her interest.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Sean, is she joking? I don't think she's joking, actually. I don't think she joking.

[Josh]

You guys probably keep the ketchup packets too.

[Brooke]

Usually at the grocery stores, you can get the ranch dip behind the counter as well for free. Where the chicken strips are.

[Josh]

I feel like. Okay, that's a problem.

[Jeffrey]

We're getting to the same problem that they did where we're getting too deep into the Financial Times. Okay, let's pull it back and talk to Sean for a second. Because, Sean, what you don't know is that before we called you, she was telling us how strong of a connection she felt the two of you had.

[Brooke]

Yeah. And how she wanted to redo because she didn't feel like it went great the first time.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I'm just hoping that Jossie still feels the same way as she did before and is still into him. Jossie, are you still up for going out with him one more time on our dime? That's a smart financial decision right there. It's free.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I mean, that does sweeten the deal, but honestly, like, I want someone that looks at my strategizing with my money and. And thinks that that's a great thing instead of thinking I'm cheap.

[Jeffrey]

That's understandable.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I bet he doesn' hire his nieces and nephews to landscape the house so he can write it off like I do. It saves me $70 a year.

[Josh]

Oh, landscaping.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Are you kidding me?

[Jeffrey]

Another financial gem from Josie.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Like, man, she is out of control.

[Brooke]

Dude. 804. That's what her credit score is. 804.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah. I have to. You have to plan these things.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Is it worth it?

[Josh]

I don't think so.

[Brooke]

Maybe not for luck.

[Jeffrey]

Save a couple bucks. From what I'm hearing, it sounds like you guys aren't gonna match up and meet up one more time.

[Brooke]

No.

[Jeffrey]

So negative.

[Brooke]

Yeah, whatever. Jossie, I'm telling you, you're gonna see him at that dollar store trying to get those paper towels from you next week.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah, he better get there early because I'm blocking him out if he's there.

[Jeffrey]

Actually, let's all go to the dollar store.

[Josh]

Hey Alexa, I'll go to the regular store like regular people.

[Brooke]

Why pay more?

[Josh]

Okay, because it's convenient.

[Brooke]

You pay more convenience.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, we're going to the ranch factory instead.

[Josh]

We don't agree on the ran cups.

[Jeffrey]

Kids.

[Melissa Jeltson]

I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltson. My new podcast, what Happened in Nashville tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed.

[Jeffrey]

We have some breaking news to tell you about. Tennessee's attorney General is suing a Nashville doctor.

[Melissa Jeltson]

In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight. And trapped behind locked doors were more than 1,000 frozen embryos.

[Brooke]

I was terrified.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Out of all of our journey, that was the worst moment ever.

[Brooke]

At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow.

[Melissa Jeltson]

But this story isn't just about a few families futures. It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all.

[Jeffrey]

It doesn't matter how much I fight, doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this. It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant.

[Melissa Jeltson]

Listen to what happened in Nashville on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Jeffrey]

Gas prices, paper towel shortages and child labor.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Wow.

[Brooke]

I know.

[Josh]

We covered it all.

[Jeffrey]

Just public radio or no, it's the status of the current dating lady landscape. What people are talking about.

[Brooke]

I mean, times are tough, man. People are gearing up, you know, getting ready. Really tough recession for your life. Gear up to yourself.

[Jeffrey]

Didn't work out for those two. But I'm just gonna say I do think they missed out on what A.

[Brooke]

Good deal somewhere else, those two.

[Jeffrey]

They could have teamed up to become one of those ultra successful billionaire power couples who are good at both money and love. Like Bill Gates and. And.

[Brooke]

Nope, that's a bad example.

[Jeffrey]

And like Elon Musk and.

[Josh]

No, that robot is actually.

[Brooke]

I think he's still with Grimes. No, no.

[Jeffrey]

You know what?

[Josh]

Kissing robots right now.

[Jeffrey]

Let's forget it. Let's just do Love is Blind season three, Brazil edition.

[Josh]

Okay?

[Jeffrey]

Let's stick with what works.

[Brooke]

Warren Buffett. He's still with Jay Z and Beyonce. I mean, I think he's still alive.

[Jeffrey]

That one was a little rocky, too.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Okay, where are the power couples at?

[Jeffrey]

Never mind. If you just want to be. Not a power couple, just a normal, regular couple who's truly in love. Email the show. We'll call that person who isn't calling you back. And check out all of our podcasts wherever you get yours at. Brooke and Jeffrey.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

We talk about this on the show a lot. That before you go out with someone, always Google them first.

[Josh]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And if for some reason you don't, then definitely Google them after. Yeah.

[Josh]

Well, that's a good reference.

[Jeffrey]

One guy did not do that before or after, and he's probably feeling really stupid right now. Cause one of our listeners had a little secret she didn't tell the guy on their date, but she does reveal it to us.

[Brooke]

Ooh, I love a good secret.

[Josh]

Andy, you.

[Jeffrey]

You're gonna hear her juicy confession coming up in a second date update right after this second date update. It's more and more popular nowadays to go to restaurants and food spots that do shared tables.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Like the. The community tables. You know, like the big, long ones. You kind of sit at the end.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. The upside to that is you might meet somebody interesting sitting at your table. The downside is you're sharing napkins.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Swipe and pass.

[Brooke]

No, it's not.

[Jeffrey]

At least that's my experience. And I'm just hoping I'm not fourth in line for the community napkins.

[Josh]

You clean your mouth and then pass it over.

[Brooke]

He's stealing other people's napkins is what.

[Jeffrey]

I think it's all about Conservation. Okay? That's the way forward. But the only reason that I even bring it up is because one of our listeners says she met a guy while sitting at a shared table. Her name is Donna.

[Brooke]

That's cute.

[Jeffrey]

Donna, did you have to share napkins at the table like I do?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

No, I didn't share any napkins.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Just sharing a straw. Sip and pass.

[Brooke]

Just probably conversation. Jeff. That's probably all she shared right Donna.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yep, that's pretty much it.

[Josh]

Okay, this is a good start.

[Jeffrey]

Well, yeah, I definitely need to know where this place is that had your community tables because I'm going to the wrong spots. Where did you.

[Josh]

You banned from all the other ones.

[Brooke]

Yours are so unsanitary.

[Melissa Jeltson]

Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, where did you go?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

It was a food festival.

[Brooke]

Okay, so you're at like a picnic table, sitting down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, A fold out table.

[Josh]

Sharing too.

[Jeffrey]

And who was this guy that you met that Eric?

[Brooke]

Eric.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

How'd you.

[Josh]

What was Eric eating? Is that what draw you to him?

[Brooke]

Is that how you struck up conversation?

[Josh]

Oh God, look at that guy's chicken.

[Brooke]

I only date guys who eat euros.

[Jeffrey]

Can I get that napkin when you're done, by the way?

[Josh]

Where?

[Jeffrey]

No, how did you meet him?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Oh, he was actually at the beer garden.

[Josh]

Oh, oh, even better.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's a little bit easier to meet somebody there. How did you do it?

[Brooke]

No, they're of age.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

We were trying to like figure out where to sit down and so he had a little picnic table and it was just kind and her friend. So it was just kind of this nice, like perfect. Two guys, two gals hanging out at a picnic table kind of thing.

[Brooke]

Perfect.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

So how long did you guys hang out together?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Ooh, it was like an hour and a half maybe. Because we were just kind of having a good time. Yeah, it was supernatural. Like he was really funny, really genuine, nice guy. And I just found myself laughing so much cause he was so goofy.

[Brooke]

Aw, that's awesome. Yeah, I love that.

[Jeffrey]

I wouldn't call him goofy to his face, but I could see how it's a positive thing to say.

[Brooke]

Was your girlfriend like hyping you up? I mean, could she tell that you were into him?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah, I mean, she was like making eyes at me like, this guy really likes you. And she could totally tell. And he and I actually did agree to hang out later, like after the event.

[Jeffrey]

Cute. Perfect. So what did you and Eric do when you met up after the event?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Well, we had already drank a lot because we were chilling in the beer garden for a while.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

So we didn't want to drink anymore. We just walked around the city and talked. We stopped and got some dessert. Yeah, I just really liked him.

[Josh]

Did you kiss him or did he kiss you or anything like romantic happened?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

No, no kissy stuff. No hand holding it or anything.

[Josh]

But you felt the vibe?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So looking back now at the whole thing, what do you think the reason is that he Might not be calling you back, is there? Do you have any idea?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Okay.

[Melissa Jeltson]

Oh, no.

[Brooke]

Why did you pause like that?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, something's going on.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I don't know. I. I don't. I don't know if I should say if I can or you're embarrassed about.

[Brooke]

I don't know. Why would you not be able to say it? Is it about you?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, you know how this segment works. Like, you should probably be honest with us now, because if we call him and he says it and we're not prepared for that, you know, please say you're not married.

[Brooke]

Please say you're not married.

[Jeffrey]

It could be embarrassing for you. So if it's going to come out anyway, you might as well tell us now.

[Josh]

Just close your ears while you tell us so you don't hear it.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

It might one of those things, like, maybe he doesn't know this about me or something. And then it's like I'm revealing this thing and I'm like, oh, God, what if that wasn't the thing?

[Josh]

I'm even more intrigued.

[Brooke]

Okay, wait, you don't know if he knows or not? Would he be able to find it out of the Internet?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay, then he knows. Well, yeah, let's just get that over with. I mean.

[Jeffrey]

Well, what is it? Can we know what it is? And we won't bring it up to him unless he says, oh, okay, I.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Okay, I didn't say any of this to him, but I don't know if he found out. Like. Okay, I don't even know if I could say this right now.

[Brooke]

Deep breath, deep breath. It's probably. Honestly, like, all this stuff is usually not as big of a deal as people think it is in their head.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Right. I just don't want my mom to be listening or something.

[Brooke]

Oh, God, we're big with moms.

[Jeffrey]

So.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Kidding.

[Jeffrey]

You a triple murder suspect or what's going on?

[Josh]

Yeah, we've heard that before.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Hey, we're an innocent till proven guilty type of show.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, just tell us.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I'm on Onlyfans.

[Brooke]

You're on Onlyfans.

[Josh]

Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

You know what? I bet your mom doesn't even know what that is, so I bet you're safe.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I hope so.

[Brooke]

Okay, like how, like, if he searched your name, would it come up, you know? Cause he knows your name. He could Google you. More importantly, is, like, the content, like, is it PG 13 or is it something.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke just asked her to send you a link if you really got interested.

[Brooke]

Is it pretty aggressive?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

It's not extremely aggressive. But it's definitely like leaning into rated.

[Josh]

R. Okay, well, some guys love that and some guys don't. It's a personality thing.

[Brooke]

I mean, you're definitely gonna have to tell him whether he knows now or not.

[Jeffrey]

And we really appreciate you being vulnerable and coming clean about that to us. We will definitely get your information during the break for Jose's sake.

[Brooke]

But wait, I thought I was getting their information.

[Josh]

I got a free trial. I was nicer.

[Jeffrey]

We're a very thorough, thorough in our research whenever we do this thing. But just, I'm. Now I'm curious. How successful are you with your only fans? Are you somebody who might be more well known or.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Well, yeah, yeah, I'm somewhat popular. Like, I, I, I have a pretty big following.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Wow. Well, now I guess that has me curious. If you've got all these followers and all the success, then why Eric?

[Brooke]

What? She's not interested. She likes Eric.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah, it is a great question. I'm not on any dating apps and this happened organically, which it was very exciting to meet him just like face to face as strangers. It felt like a cute little meet cute, you know?

[Brooke]

Yeah. How will you handle it if it is an issue for him?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I don't know. I mean, some guys are scared. Some guys are, like, way too into it. So it's like, is that the only reason why you like me?

[Jeffrey]

I think I know which category we fell into. Sorry, but we will not bring this up again unless Eric says at first. Because we're going to come back and call him and ask him. Why wouldn't he call you back after such a great, unique, genuine hangout.

[Josh]

I keep forgetting he may not even know about the only fans.

[Brooke]

It is so nice to have a listener. Just be honest with us from the beginning how much easier this makes our job.

[Josh]

It did take a lot to get it out.

[Brooke]

It doesn't matter.

[Jeffrey]

Unless the rating is even worse than ours. So we're going to find out when we call Eric and get you your second aid update right after.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Hold on.

[Jeffrey]

Second date update. Brooks said it earlier. And I think we all agree it is refreshing to have a listener actually be honest and vulnerable with us up front. For real.

[Brooke]

It makes me feel so much less stressed going into this phone call. Even though that's like a big. I mean, it's kind of a big thing. Yeah.

[Josh]

But it feels like we're on the same page.

[Jeffrey]

Yes. It's good to know that information before we dial this guy. And, and our listener Donna, who's Jose's already searched that name 14 times during the break.

[Josh]

She told us about so many Donnas on of.

[Jeffrey]

By the way, I know it's hard to nail down which one she is, but she told us about her meeting with a guy named Eric. It happened organically when they were both at a food festival, and they ended up bonding, walking around the city together, sharing desserts. Now he's not calling her back.

[Brooke]

It was such a sweet interaction. It really felt genuine.

[Jeffrey]

And the whole reason I bring up the honesty nasty part is because she admitted to us that Eric may have found out that she is a successful model on only fans. Yeah, here's the thing is we all understand that that information can tend to freak some people out. And maybe that could be the reason that Eric is avoiding her.

[Brooke]

And if he brings it up, do you want us to admit then that we already know Donna, or is that something. Then you just want to talk to.

[Josh]

Him, or do we lie and say, that's not her?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Melissa Jeltson]

Yeah.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

You know, actually, I feel like I. I would like it if I were to be the one to say it to him.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Okay.

[Brooke]

If he knows, that makes sense. He found something online.

[Jeffrey]

Fair.

[Josh]

So if he already knows, I mean.

[Brooke]

He'S gonna find out eventually. If you ever talk about work like.

[Jeffrey]

It'S your job, I mean, you can always keep a secret life for 20, 30 years before you have to come clean about it.

[Josh]

I work from home.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, so he doesn't have to know all the details.

[Brooke]

But that's good advice, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

It's really. It's really up to you, Donna. This is your decision. We're just going to call Eric. We'll see if he answers the phone. And then from that point on, we're just going to roll with it. Okay?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Okay. Beautiful.

[Josh]

All right, here we go.

[Jeffrey]

I'm going to dial his number right now. Let's do this.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey. We're looking to talk with Eric.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Yeah, this is Eric. Who says.

[Brooke]

All right.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, this is a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Whole show's here.

[Jeffrey]

I'm Jeffrey.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Hi, Jeffrey.

[Jeffrey]

You guys want to go around the room and introduce yourselves? Let's sound off. Broom.

[Brooke]

Let's. Okay. Eric. Yeah, that's Brooke.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Brooke. She's the fun one.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

So awkward.

[Brooke]

Why are you so awkward?

[Josh]

Anyway, and there's also Alexa.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I would to hear him talk.

[Jeffrey]

We're trying to help out one of our listeners that you actually went on a date with recently. Her name's Donna.

[Brooke]

Sounded like a cute date.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

I guess if I had to sum it up, I would say that I just had a different impression of her on our date. From when we first met at this beer garden. And I don't know how much he told you.

[Jeffrey]

Well, it's not much more than that. According to her, it was the beer garden. You went out afterwards, walking around the city.

[Brooke]

I thought it was really sweet that you guys didn't drink again either. Like you shared dessert. It sounds like you had great conversation.

[Josh]

I don't know how that even happens. How do you stop drinking? That was a personal comment.

[Jeffrey]

My bad. But you were saying that you got a different impression from her. From when you met and during the date. Like, can you explain what you meant?

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Yeah, she's. I want to make it clear. She's a super sweet girl. She's really nice. She's really cute.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Oh, that's crazy.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

And maybe it was just because it was loud at the beer garden where we were there. But she seemed a little more outgoing and a little more, I don't know, wild, if that's a fair word. And when we were on our date, she just seemed really shy and a little, I don't know, conservative or.

[Brooke]

Can you elaborate on that? Conservative? Like what made her come off that way to you?

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

She just kind of gave off goody goody vibes.

[Josh]

Oh, that is so unattractive.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Isn't it really what I'm into?

[Josh]

I feel you on that.

[Brooke]

And you're really good at reading people, right?

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Yeah, I am pretty good at reading people. And to be honest, she just seemed a lot more innocent than I am.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you think she's too innocent.

[Brooke]

And you are like a wild woman.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Yeah, I don't mean like, like wild. I'm just looking for someone who's a little more adventurous.

[Brooke]

Okay, Aren't you in for an adventure right now?

[Jeffrey]

Buckle up. There is a very adventurous woman on the other line. Listening in on this phone call. And I'm not sure if you could guess that girl would be Donna.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

No way.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

Donna.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Really?

[Jeffrey]

Really. Donna, you there?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Hi, Eric.

[Brooke]

Oh my God. Are you dying on the inside? Donna?

[Melissa Jeltson]

Yeah.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Hey, Donna. I didn't know you were on the other end of the line. And I don't want to seem like a jerk here. Like you. You are super sweet. You're such a kind girl. And I had a really great time.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

No, I get it. I get it. And I hear you. I literally heard everything you said. I totally get it. And maybe I do come across that way in one on one scenarios. But I'm adventurous. I do have quite an adventure.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Wild side, I mean, that's cool for you to say that. And again, I think you're really cool, but, like, you can say that. But I don't know how I'm supposed to believe that based on the signals that I was picking up from you, you know?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Okay, well, you could just trust me that I'm not as shy as I seem.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I don't really meet people in person, so, yeah, it's exciting, a little weird, and I obviously came off very shy, but I don't know what to say. I do have. I'm experienced. I'm an experienced woman.

[Brooke]

That is such a weird. You do not have to say that.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

I know.

[Jeffrey]

I feel like she's not used to having to say that.

[Brooke]

I know, but she's obviously not shy. She called a radio station and is here with us. Even outside of the other stuff.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

I mean, it's pretty wild that she called a radio station. But again, you sound innocent to me, and you're just kind of trying to pretend to be someone you're not to please me, and that doesn't. You don't need to do that because.

[Brooke]

You sound so wild on the phone.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Okay, well, I guess if you feel that way and you don't want to believe me or get to know me more, then I guess. Nice meeting you.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. I think that's a good choice. Donna.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, Donna.

[Josh]

They can part ways.

[Brooke]

Look, Donna should tell him. I like what she's saying. I do, too.

[Jeffrey]

I think she should tell him, like, before. Before he.

[Brooke]

I mean, he is so certain who she is and doesn't have an open mind to see anything else. Like, Donna, I'm guessing, doesn't feel like he deserves that knowledge.

[Jeffrey]

Well, fine, but I. At least before we go, I have to ask Eric, would you like to go out with shy, innocent Donna one more time? And we would pay for the date?

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

You know, again, it doesn't seem like a match. I appreciate it.

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I mean, Eric, I think you made a mistake. And maybe I'll see you online sometime.

[Jeffrey]

You can afford it, though.

[Brooke]

Gonna have to pay to see her.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

What does that mean?

[Jeffrey]

I wouldn't worry about it, Eric. You know what?

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Can somebody just tell me what's going on?

[Jeffrey]

No. I'm sorry.

[Caller (Sean/Eric)]

Bye.

[Jeffrey]

All right, he's gone. Sorry, Donna. We had to hang up on that guy.

[Brooke]

We did.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I'm glad. I'm glad you did.

[Brooke]

Have you ever had a guy assume that about you before?

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

I can maybe see why he maybe thought that, but, like, it was so crazy that he did. Just didn't want to give me another chance.

[Brooke]

I like how hardcore he thought he was.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

You know, he's just crazy. I want to be there the day he finds out what we do.

[Jeffrey]

I know it's probably the day that he listens to this podcast and is like, oh my God, the mistakes that I've made.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

He was so sure he knew how to read people. That was. That's what got me.

[Brooke]

[Melissa Jeltson]

Why I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltson. My new podcast, what Happened in Nashville tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed.

[Jeffrey]

We have some breaking news to tell you about. Tennessee's attorney general is suing a Nashville doctor.

[Melissa Jeltson]

In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight and trapped behind locked doors were more than a thousand frozen embryos.

[Brooke]

I was terrified.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Out of all of our journey, that was the worst moment ever.

[Brooke]

At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow.

[Melissa Jeltson]

But this story isn't just about a few families futures. It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all. It doesn't matter how much I fight.

[Jeffrey]

Doesn'T matter how much I cry over all of this. It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant.

[Melissa Jeltson]

Listen to what happened in Nashville on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Jeffrey]

We're getting a lot of texts in 78592 on this one. One says I hope Eric's listening right now and realizes he missed out on the chance of a lifetime.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's really, it's really a learning moment. Not judge people so quickly, really, you know.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, the don't judge a book by its cover sort of thing.

[Brooke]

I don't think it was the COVID that was the problem. It was just like her attitude.

[Listener (Donna/Jossie)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Another text says I've been trying to date an only fans girl for years. That guy's an idiot. Oh man. There's a lot of other people on the text board though going crazy cuz we didn't tell him and didn't say it. She never revealed what she does to him.

[Brooke]

Proud of her for not. I know. I agree.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I thought this would be like a Alexis going out with Cristiano Ronaldo and just not realizing he plays soccer and it's like you're not my type.

[Jeffrey]

Oh yeah.

[Josh]

What are you doing?

[Jeffrey]

Did email the show after we recorded that though and said I thought I'd just send him a screenshot as a parting gift.

[Brooke]

So she did not.

[Jeffrey]

I think he knows now.

[Brooke]

Did she just trying to get more subscribers.

[Jeffrey]

Out of this? She probably did. We're hoping to hear to get a few more subscribers. If you like the second dates you can always 100%.

[Josh]

I still have my shirt off by the way.

[Jeffrey]

On YouTube you can find us or anywhere where you get your podcast at Brooke and Jeffrey and make sure if you need help with your dating life, email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back.
