Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update Classics

Episode: Double Roasted Turkey + 20 Treadmills of Love
Date: December 6, 2025
Host: Brooke and Jeffrey (with Alexa and Sophie Cunningham)
Format: Two “Second Date Update” calls, each featuring a listener seeking answers after a puzzling first date experience—plus the show’s signature banter.

---

Episode Overview

This episode features two “Second Date Update” classics—each a blend of confusion, comedy, and awkwardness. In the first, a neighbor “rescues” a man from culinary disaster, leading to a failed romantic spark. In the second, a woman navigates an odd “treadmill litmus test” and runs into a dealbreaker. Both stories showcase the chaos, unpredictability, and sometimes pettiness of modern dating.

Segment 1: Fire, Turkey, Gordon Ramsay... and No Romance

(Timestamps: [03:44]–[19:36])

Context

Listener: Kelly
Date: Brad
Kelly helps her apartment neighbor Brad during a would-be fire—caused by his failed attempt at cooking a turkey. She steps in to save dinner before his boss arrives. Flirtation follows, but Brad ghosts her.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

• The Rescue & First (Kind-of) Date

  • Kelly notices smoke in her building, discovers it coming from Brad’s apartment, and finds him struggling (apron-clad) with a burnt turkey ([05:37]).
  • She volunteers to help; spends 2 hours helping prep dinner for his boss and coworkers ([08:20]).
  • Brad is grateful, repeatedly says he “owes” her and asks her to dinner, but then is unresponsive to follow-up texts.

• Investigating the Ghost

  • Hosts poke fun at the situation as a “Hallmark movie gone wrong” ([10:28],[11:13]) and make cutesy casting jokes:
    • “Oh, I would say Zac Efron.” — Kelly ([11:13])
  • Kelly expresses confusion and insecurity—was the meal bad? Did she cross a line?
    • “I helped him prep... but definitely some flirting going on.” — Kelly ([08:25])

• Brad’s Side of the Story

  • Brad reluctantly answers the call ([12:24]).
  • He says he can “only hang out with Kelly in a crisis,” not casual settings.
    • “I don’t know if I could hang out with Kelly really, outside a crisis situation, to be honest.” — Brad ([13:16])
  • Brad accuses Kelly of being overly intense in the kitchen:
    • “It was like cooking with Gordon Ramsay... at one point, she asked me for a chef’s knife... I give her a knife and she goes, ‘No, that’s a butcher’s knife, you dummy.’ I was floored.” — Brad ([14:14], [14:59])

• Kelly’s Defense: Flirting or Insult?

  • Kelly says her “insults” were playful banter, meant flirtatiously—with winks!
    • “I was being very playful and very flirtatious... There was a shock level for me.” — Kelly ([15:28])
    • “It was a wink.” — Kelly ([17:43])

• Escalation & Mutual Annoyance

  • The conversation devolves, each side getting spikier (“You obviously have no...”, “Go yourself...”) ([16:42], [18:26]).
  • Hosts try to salvage with their trademark humor:
    • “Maybe it would help if you guys weren’t cooking together. If you’re doing something else.” — Jeffrey ([19:09])
    • “We would drive separately.” — Kelly ([19:34])

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “Anytime you have a guy who has smoke billowing out from underneath their door, it’s a good sign that they’re probably single.” — Jeffrey ([09:00])
• “Cooking with Gordon Ramsay... when he’s screaming at you.” — Brad ([14:22])
• “I mean, Kelly, can you hear that? Maybe you’re not the most approachable when it comes...” — Brooke ([17:51])
• “Can you hear your stupid, annoying voice asking me that question?” — Kelly ([17:55])
• Several playful digs:
  • “He didn’t even know what a bouillon cube was.” — Kelly ([15:39])
  • “Men don’t even have silverware.” — Kelly ([16:18])

Takeaway

Why no second date?
Brad felt Kelly’s “flirty” banter was actually abrasive under stress, likening her to an overbearing chef. Kelly insists she was just joking—but both agree that it’s not a romantic match, and things end with laughs at just how combustible their communication style was.

Segment 2: Smalls, Spontaneity, and the Treadmill Test

(Timestamps: [23:09]–[39:47])

Context

Listener: Elena
Date: Trey
Elena meets “adventurous” Trey on a dating app and is bemused to discover he a) is much smaller in person, and b) owns a treadmill in every room. Trey invents a “spontaneity test” for all his dates.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

• Profile and First Impressions

  • Trey’s dating profile: “adventurous,” fit, “gorgeous smile.” Turns out, he’s lost 30 lbs and is physically smaller than his photos implied ([25:03], [27:04]).
  • Trey owns 20 treadmills—one in each room, acquired during a warehouse cleanout:
    • “You will not believe this. This man tells me he has a treadmill in every single room in his house.” — Elena ([27:12])

• The “Litmus Test”

  • Trey asks: “What would you do if I show up at your house tomorrow and say, hey, let’s go to the Virgin Islands—leave in 3 hours?”
    • Elena plays along enthusiastically: “Heck, yeah.” ([28:42])
  • Trey finds this a red flag—he wants an answer indicating “responsibility,” not blind spontaneity:
    • “That’s the wrong answer to that question. Worst answer you can give me.” — Trey ([34:50])
    • “The right answer is, ‘let me check and see if I can,’... anything that indicates you’ve got a life of your own.” — Trey ([34:58])

• When “Spontaneous” Backfires

  • Elena is stunned, counters that she’s responsible—she just makes plenty of money ([35:48]).
    • “You know what’s so funny about my responsibilities is I probably make three times what you make.” — Elena ([35:48])
  • Argument ensues over salary, values, and priorities. Each finds the other’s response to be a dealbreaker:
    • “The fact that she brought up money right away to try to one up me is a huge red flag.” — Trey ([38:11])
    • “I have plenty of [money] to go around, so... you didn’t even ask, but you’re gonna bring up that I don’t have responsibility to make yourself look good? Babe, I don’t think so.” — Elena ([38:19])

• Hosts’ Observations

  • The team marvels at how a hypothetical ruined things:
    • “Someone’s entire life on how they answer that question... it’s a lot.” — Brooke ([38:01])
  • Briefly, there is nostalgia for what-could-have-been:
    • “Too bad we couldn’t get a yes from those two because I think we all agree they would have been good for each other.” — Jeffrey ([40:58])

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “If I show up at your door tomorrow and say, a plane’s leaving in three hours and we’re going to the islands, you want to come?” — Trey ([34:03])
• “She's very selling those things.” (referring to all the treadmills) — Elena ([36:28])
• “I make three times what you make.” — Elena ([35:48])
• “Let’s hop in the PJ and fly down there. I’m sure she’s got one.” — Trey ([36:48])
• “Maybe like a Caribbean restaurant.” — Alexa ([39:16])
• “Now I’d like to offer to send Trey and me to a private island. Trey? Elena. Will you pay for it?” — Jeffrey ([39:34])

Takeaway

Why no second date?
Both dislike how the other handled a “test” question. Trey wants evidence of independence, Elena thinks being game is positive. Money and pride come into play, and neither backs down. The hosts note they might actually be a good match—if not for the escalation.

Memorable Banter and Quotes

• “Cooking with Gordon Ramsay when he’s screaming at you.” — Brad ([14:22])
• “Anytime you have a guy who has smoke billowing out from underneath their door, it’s a good sign that they’re probably single.” — Jeffrey ([09:00])
• “You know what, guys? It’s my prerogative to ask the questions I want to ask on my first date.” — Trey ([38:07])
• “You make all the money.” — Brooke, ribbing Elena ([39:42])
• “We would drive separately.” — Kelly ([19:34])
• “I have plenty of [money] to go around.” — Elena ([38:22])

Episode Structure & Timing (Key Segments)

• [03:44] Classic #1 begins: Kelly’s Fire & Turkey Rescue Story
• [12:24] Brad joins the call
• [14:14] “Gordon Ramsay” conflict arises
• [18:26] Spirals into mutual insults

---

Tone and Style

• Highly comedic, fast-paced, with sharp, sarcastic banter.
• Hosts and callers alike use playful jabs and escalate joking into mock-dead-serious arguments.
• Attempts at “real talk” are blended with relentless teasing.

---

Overall Takeaways

• Modern dating is a minefield: Even well-intentioned actions (rescuing a neighbor, saying yes to an adventure) can be misread and spiral.
• Communication styles create fireworks: What’s playful to one is insulting to another.
• Litmus tests rarely end well, but they make for fantastic radio.
• Money & pride kill more sparks than awkward situations do.

---

Summary useful for:
Anyone seeking a shot of reality (and comedy) about dating gone sideways; listeners who enjoy seeing why miscommunications escalate (with plenty of gags and zingers); and fans speculating whether, with a little more patience, any second date update might yield actual romance.

[Brooke]

So you're telling me that the AI.

[Jeffrey]

That'S meant to make everyone's job easier.

[Brooke]

To manage just adds more to manage?

[Alexa]

On top of the thousands of apps the IT department already manages?

[Brooke]

Funny how that works.

[Jeffrey]

Any business can add AI. IBM helps you scale and manage AI to change how you do business. Let's create Smile to Business. IBM.

[Alexa]

Amazon has everything for everyone on your list. Like my dad who insists he doesn't need headphones but then spends the entire vacation borrowing mine and somehow returns them covered in mystery crumbs. I don't know. This year I am sure Amazon's holiday deals to get him his own wireless pair. Amazon's got fashion, fitness, toys, decor, electronics, all at prices that make holiday shopping less painful. And if dad still ends up forgetting which pair is his, well, good thing Amazon delivers fast. So shop holiday deals now. Amazon everything for everyone on your list.

[Brooke]

Back to back classics today. Thank you for being here. It's the Brooke and Jeffrey podcast. And listen, uh. Oh, I hope you were decorating your house for Christmas this Saturday.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

Or for the holidays. Whatever you celebrate.

[Alexa]

If it's not already decorated. Yeah.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Come on.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Late to the game.

[Brooke]

Oh, that was my plan. I got Christmas trees last weekend.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

We put stuff up in November.

[Alexa]

Dude, actually, you're maybe the last person I know who doesn't have decorations up.

[Brooke]

Okay. Didn't know that this was gonna turn into that.

[Jeffrey]

It was.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

And actually it was.

[Brooke]

This was gonna start before you mentioned it.

[Jeffrey]

Cause Tommy commented.

[Brooke]

Brooke, how are you?

[Sophie Cunningham]

I love the show.

[Brooke]

Have you decorated for Christmas yet?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

No way.

[Brooke]

That was a fun comment.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Listen, I'm not as good as you guys. Apparen. Well, she did not. I. I am though. Okay, It'll be done by Monday.

[Alexa]

We had our Christmas tree up on Thanksgiving dinner.

[Brooke]

I'm surprised you ever took it down.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

All right, here we go. Your back to back classics start right now.

[Jeffrey]

I feel like now most couples meet through dating apps.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Social media. Or by calling the phone number somebody carved into the bathroom mirror in the truck stop off Highway 7, exit 51.

[Brooke]

Really?

[Alexa]

Ever led to a relationship?

[Brooke]

Well.

What you consider relationship.

[Jeffrey]

Don't ask how I know that. I just do.

[Alexa]

Yeah, that's the next question.

[Jeffrey]

But one of our listeners says she recently met a guy the old fashioned way. By saving his life.

[Brooke]

What? Saving his life.

[Jeffrey]

That's how people used to do it back in the 1300s. And it's finally coming back.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Okay, how did she do it?

[Jeffrey]

And afterwards, why won't he hang out with her? Oh, you're gonna find out what happened in a second date update. Next. Second date update. You know, a wise producer once told me, out of crisis comes opportunity.

[Brooke]

Okay, and then that's good.

[Jeffrey]

That producer got fired from the show.

[Brooke]

But it's the one that.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, now see, he had the opportunity at that point to go off and enjoy a wonderful, stress free life without us. Without us in it at all.

[Alexa]

What an opportunity.

[Jeffrey]

But he didn't take that opportunity because we rehi back onto the show.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it was a battle.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it was a bad choice on his part.

[Brooke]

He actually made the dumbest decision of us all.

[Jeffrey]

He should have taken his own advice.

[Brooke]

But we need him.

[Alexa]

Well, I don't know. He's an idiot.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know. Not a big fan of that guy. But one of our listeners did have an opportunity come out of crisis, and she actually seized the moment.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Made it into something good. Her name is Kelly, and she's asked us for help today. Kelly, how you doing?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Hi. Hi, guys. Thank you so much.

[Brooke]

Oh, my gosh. I can't wait to hear. I mean, I guess I shouldn't say I can't wait to hear about your crisis, but usually crisis means something bad happened.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. What happened?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

So I met this guy who happens to be in my apartment building.

[Brooke]

Hiding in the closet.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

No, no. Like, nothing weird like that. No. I was just at home, but suddenly smelled smoke. And it was weird because, you know, like, you think, is there a fire? But there was no alarm going off.

[Brooke]

And then you're like, am I having a stroke? Is that just somebody else's next? Oh, that's what it is.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Alexa]

That's just a rumor, but that's what.

[Jeffrey]

People over 50 tend to think. So I get what I heard.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

That.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

I've never heard of that. Yeah. Well, so I smelled the smoke and just decided to follow it because I knew. I'm like, okay, I'm not imagining it.

[Jeffrey]

Run towards the fire. That's what they teach you in fire.

[Brooke]

Class, to figure out if something's actually on fire. That's really scary to call the firefighters.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

So I did notice that one of my neighbors, the door was closed, but there was smoke coming out of it.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Alexa]

Okay, I have to ask.

[Brooke]

God, that's so scary.

[Alexa]

Did it smell like fire smoke? Or was somebody like, hot box in their apartment?

[Brooke]

Because very different.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Oh, no, it was smoke. It wasn't like, the same floor.

[Brooke]

Snoop Dogg. That would be.

[Jeffrey]

It's interesting where everybody's minds on this show goes, because I would have still.

[Alexa]

Approached, but I would have been like, yo, share. You know what I mean?

[Brooke]

No, I'm like, it was scary.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

I was scared because it was clearly coming out from under this door.

[Alexa]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

What'd you do?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah, I just started banging like crazy on the door to see if anyone was inside. This guy opens the door.

[Brooke]

Oh, someone was in there.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah. He was wearing an apron. And I asked him, is everything okay? And he completely apologized and explained that he was attempting to cook a turkey for the first time in his life.

[Alexa]

Once you said apron, I was like, oh, this is just bad luck.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Well, I felt bad for him because I'm a good cook, actually. So I'm like, you need help? And I went inside.

[Alexa]

Oh, you look so nice.

[Brooke]

Oh, you still rescued him.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah, well, he was very cute, so it was easy.

[Brooke]

He rescued you and, like a cooking angel.

[Jeffrey]

And what's his name?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Brad.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, okay.

[Brooke]

And had you met Brad prior to this?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

I mean, I had seen parts of him, you know, up and down the elevator, but I hadn't, like, formally ever introduced.

[Brooke]

So he's just so desperate for anybody to help him cook whatever he's trying to cook that he's like, yeah, sure, come in.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah, he welcomed it. He was freaking out because he had invited his boss and a couple of co workers over for dinner that night.

So that wouldn't have gone well. So I ended up. I was there for, like, two hours, and.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

I helped him prep a really good meal. I couldn't salvage the turkey, but definitely some flirting going on.

[Jeffrey]

There was. Okay.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yes. And I definitely left before his boss got there. Like, I wasn't gonna cross boundaries or whatever. And he. He was just so thankful. And he kept saying, I owe you, and he said he wanted to take me out for dinner.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay. And you didn't see any, like, hints in his apartment of other women or anything? Like, he seems single.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Beyond single.

[Jeffrey]

Anytime you have a guy who has smoke billowing out from underneath their door, it's a good sign that they're probably single.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah, that's good reasoning. I like that.

[Alexa]

Okay, I agree with that.

[Jeffrey]

So it sounds like he asked you out and has that happened, or.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Well, no, because I haven't heard from him. I texted him a couple of days later. I wanted to give him his face, and I asked how dinner went, but he has not responded. I just. I feel like he's avoiding me. But now I'm, like, kind of freaking out because I'm wondering if the meal went really badly.

[Brooke]

I didn't even think about that.

[Jeffrey]

Like, maybe you're not as good of a cook as you think you are.

[Brooke]

Or the boss came over and got food poisoning.

[Alexa]

Or he's like, burnt turkey is my favorite meal. Why would you throw that away?

[Brooke]

Dude, that's wild. Have you seen him on your floor or in the elevator or anything since he lives there?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

It's back to the way I would see him before. Just, like, glimpses, like, the back of his hair.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

You know, like in the.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe it's not a bad thing. Maybe the cooking was so good that his boss fell in love with him, and now they're in a relationship.

[Alexa]

Oh, cute.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Thank you for that. Yeah, I'm.

[Jeffrey]

I'm pulling for you here, Kelly. So we're Gonna play a song, we'll come back, we'll call Brad and try and get you your second date update right after this.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

All right, thank you.

[Jeffrey]

Hold on. Second date update?

Today's second date update Sounds kind of like the start of a Hallmark movie. You know, the hunky single bachelor has the big boss coming over for dinner, but he can't cook a turkey.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Aw.

[Jeffrey]

Time is running out. When who swoops in to save the day? His cute female neighbor from down the hall, who also happens to be single.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Jeb.

[Brooke]

I thought it was cute. Now it sounds cliche.

[Alexa]

I love it.

[Jeffrey]

It's super cliche. She offers to help and not only teaches him lessons in the kitchen, but also lessons in love. Coming this holiday season, it's the Christmas wishbone. Oh, and Kelly, when this eventually makes its way to Hollywood, which actor is going to play your date? Brad?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Oh, I would say Zac Efron.

[Brooke]

Oh, Zac Efron.

[Alexa]

Does he look like Zac Efron?

[Brooke]

I think Zac Efron's doing your type.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Of movies these days.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah, well, Zac Efron from, like, back, you know.

[Jeffrey]

Underage Zac Efron, even.

[Brooke]

I'm with you there.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Have a teenager play your.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

High school musical.

[Brooke]

Troy Bolton, baby.

[Jeffrey]

All right, well, you and Alexa romantic. Now we made it weird. All right, well, we're gonna call Brad, who is of age, right?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

I would say he's, like, in his late 20s.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Okay.

[Brooke]

You know, hopefully it's nothing too big since you guys do live on the same floor.

I mean, honestly, you have. We have to be careful with this because it is gonna end up really awkward.

[Jeffrey]

I hope it does, actually, for the sake of the entertainment, but.

[Alexa]

Yeah, that's.

[Jeffrey]

But he's right. For your sake, Kelly, I hope that there's a totally logical explanation. We're gonna find out right now.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Thank you, guys.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, let's call Brad and see what he has to say. Here we go.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Okay.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Brad?

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Yep. Who's this?

[Jeffrey]

He is hunky sounding.

[Brooke]

I would agree with that.

[Jeffrey]

Brad. Hey, you're on the radio right now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the.

[Alexa]

Yo. Good morning.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Wait, the radio? Why?

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's fun.

[Jeffrey]

That's a word. We do a segment on our show called the Second date Update, and we're trying to help one of our listeners named Kelly get back in touch with you.

[Brooke]

I mean, technically, you guys didn't really go out on a date. It was more like an emergency, but.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Oh, okay. Yes, Kelly.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we heard you had some cooking problems, and Kelly stepped in to help you out, save the day.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Yeah, that's true.

[Brooke]

Did you like Kelly?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

I mean, sure.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Uh.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Oh, here's the thing. I don't know if I could hang out with Kelly really, outside of, like, a crisis situation, to be honest.

[Brooke]

Oh, are you in a relationship or something?

[Alexa]

I've never heard that we can only hang out during a murder.

[Brooke]

No, but, like, she thought that you were saying single.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Yeah, I'm single. I'm single. Yeah, that's not it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, good. Well, Kelly's a little bit confused after you guys hung out and she helped you cook because she says I've been kind of avoiding her texts and not talking to her. When you guys see each other in the apartment, is that accurate?

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

I mean, look, it was nice that she helped me. You know, my boss really liked the dinner and.

[Brooke]

Oh, good.

[Jeffrey]

That was one of the things that we were talking about. She was worried maybe the meal didn't turn out good.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Nothing like that. Now, I don't know really how to explain.

[Brooke]

Are you just maybe not attracted to her?

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

No, no. She's a cute girl. But it was like. Like, you know, when we were cooking, it was like cooking with Gordon Ramsay.

I had a high stress situation. You know, I was freaking out. I'd burnt my dinner. My boss was coming over and.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah, are you butt hurt? Seriously?

[Jeffrey]

Whoa.

[Alexa]

What the heck?

[Brooke]

Wait, he was just explaining. We don't even know what he's saying.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Gordon Ramsay. I don think so.

[Alexa]

Oh, sounds like immediately.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, though, sorry.

We'Re supposed to tell you Kelly's on the other line listening and.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Are you kidding me?

[Jeffrey]

No, I'm not.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

I am not pleased, Brad.

[Jeffrey]

Kelly, hold on. We didn't even get the full explanation of what happened.

[Brooke]

I thought he was saying, Gordon Ramsay, like, you're a really good cook.

[Alexa]

Yeah, like a top notch.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

No, more like cooking with Gordon Ramsay when he's screaming at you. It was the most stressful situation. And then that was insult to injury. I mean, let me tell you, like, at one point, she asked me for a chef's knife. I give her a knife, and she goes, no, that's a butcher's knife, you dummy. I was floored.

[Jeffrey]

That's kind of cute banter.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

I mean, it yells at people that are bad.

[Alexa]

So she's saying, you deserve it.

[Brooke]

Was she trying to be playful? And it came off wrong, Kelly.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

I think I was being very playful and very flirtatious. It just, you know, there was a shock level for me that I needed to digest. I mean.

He didn't even know what a bullion cube was okay.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

I've never heard of that in my life. Let's be honest. Like, I'm not, like, a kitchen guy. Like, I'm not watching the Food Network all the time, you know? You expect me to know what a bullion cube is, and I don't. It's not like, something really to make fun of me about, I guess.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

I wasn't making fun of. I was just in shock. Like, my jaw was, like, literally on the floor. I mean, you didn' even have an immersion blender.

[Alexa]

That's so fancy.

[Jeffrey]

I don't think a lot of single guys have immersion.

[Brooke]

I'm going to tell you, an immersion blender will change your kitchen experience.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Men don't even have silverware. Exactly.

[Jeffrey]

Kelly, I think you're expecting a lot of him.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Yeah. Thank you. I glad somebody.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

I was just in shock, and I flirtatiously informed him of my shock, but I didn't.

[Jeffrey]

I see. They were flirty threats.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

I don't know the way they came out.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Something to say to you. She's not done.

[Brooke]

Yeah. What? Kelly, what do you have to say to him?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

You obviously have no.

[Brooke]

I'm sorry if I insulted you.

[Jeffrey]

I was expecting a sweet moment.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

All right, so you see what I'm saying here?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Why did you say that, Kelly?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's a little harsh.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Someone with a would say to my face, hey, you know what? You're being a little harsh with me, Brad. You never informed me of that. Oh, you were very flirtatious with me, and I saved the day. You needed me.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Okay, I mean, I get all that, but you called me a stupid.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Alexa]

There's Gordon Ramsay.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know. I've heard Brooke says that to her husband all the time in a flirtatious way.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

I was saying it in a very flirtatious way.

How?

[Brooke]

How did you say that in a flirty way?

[Alexa]

Get over here, you.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

It was a wink.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, she winked when she said it.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Okay, why does that make it scarier for me?

[Brooke]

I mean, Kelly, can you hear that? Maybe you're not the most approachable when it comes.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Can you hear your stupid, annoying voice asking me that question? Do you hear yourself? And I am not winking. There is no winking my voice right now.

[Jeffrey]

I gotta say, I'm on Kelly's side with this one. That was a really stupid question.

[Alexa]

Brooke can't hear herself. She's wearing headphones.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I know.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Hi.

[Brooke]

Why are you so scary?

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

See what I'm talking about, guys? Once the time was counting down, she totally transformed and just went after Me.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

You know, Brad, go yourself. My house. I called, not you. You don't have the to speak frankly. You don't have the prerogative to speak. You. Oh my God.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Again?

[Brooke]

What is going on?

[Jeffrey]

The sparks in the romance are flying.

[Alexa]

Just like Gordon Ramsay.

[Brooke]

Is this the flirty that she was talking about? Is this it? Brat.

[Jeffrey]

I'm scared to tell her that we only have a minute left before we have to go to a song.

[Brooke]

So do you ask Brad at this point?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Hey, stupid mother. Would you like to go out with this lady one more time?

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

I think I'm better off now.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Try again, Brad. Wrong answer.

[Brooke]

Sounds like you'd have a charming evening.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe it would help if you guys weren't cooking together. If you're doing something else.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

I just only imagine the car ride over to the restaurant. I mean, if I was driving, that would sure be interesting.

[Jeffrey]

I said take a left here, you idiots.

[Alexa]

That's a parking.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Exactly.

[Jeffrey]

That's a comedy compact space. This is a large vehicle. What are you doing? I don't know. I guess it's not in the stars for you two.

[Brooke]

I think I would have thrown myself out of the car if I was in there.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

We would drive separately.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Good choice. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

You know, I've learned from Brooke that if a man ever gets yelled at by a woman, then, quote, he probably.

[Brooke]

Deserves that is not true.

[Jeffrey]

That is just. It's a general rule of thumb.

[Brooke]

But people start to believe this stuff about me.

[Jeffrey]

Jeffrey, look, I'm gonna be honest here. I don't think that was the case this time. Time and Brooke might even agree with me.

[Brooke]

That's not the case most of the time.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah. Interesting.

[Brooke]

Okay, it just depends on the circumstance.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Wow. The opinions really change depending on the sentence I just said.

[Alexa]

Yelling at Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

So she really did go. She went from zero to a hundred as soon as she heard Gordon Ramsay. We barely even heard him talk.

[Brooke]

I just never understand how you can be that unself aware. Like you don't realize you're doing it, I guess. And then when somebody calls you out.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Then you go even harder into it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Self awareness is an interesting thing, isn't it, Brooke?

[Brooke]

Yeah, it is, Jeffrey.

[Alexa]

You guys are both having realizations.

[Brooke]

I think he's trying to make fun of me, but I'm not falling for it, okay? Not this time.

[Jeffrey]

I think we all can learn a lot from the second date update. And the most important lesson you can learn is that we can try and help you out if you ever need help in your dating life and just.

[Brooke]

Be nice to people or just. We'll take the abuse for you.

[Alexa]

Yeah, there's the real.

[Jeffrey]

And you can do that by emailing the show. Because we'll call the person who isn't calling you back.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

This is crazy to say, but Brooke, Jose and I have all worked together for well over a decade.

[Brooke]

Oh my God, it has been so long.

[Alexa]

My 12 years is coming up and you guys work even longer.

[Brooke]

I'm at 23, I think.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, it's a long time. We've attended weddings together, gone to parties, done crossover, cross country trips. But one very strange fact that is true is none of us, not one, has ever actually been to Brooke's house before.

[Alexa]

Seriously? Never been invited, never been allowed? Only in public.

[Jeffrey]

I've always wondered why. What is she hiding in there that she doesn't want us to see?

[Alexa]

She thinks we're just gonna stop by or something unannounced?

[Jeffrey]

Are the walls inside made of gold bricks?

[Alexa]

We're gonna see how much money she's worth.

[Jeffrey]

Or more likely, does she have 20 orphans in her basement who sew all of her clothes for her?

[Brooke]

I swear it's a rental service I use.

[Alexa]

Oh no, a rent an orphan.

[Jeffrey]

That's pretty nice. I wonder.

[Alexa]

Her clothes are so goofy looking.

[Jeffrey]

We may never know the truth, but one of our listeners says she was pretty shocked when her date told her about the strange thing in his his home. And he even had to bring out pictures to prove he wasn't joking. It weirded all of us out, even Brooke. And you're gonna hear what it was in your second date update. Next. Second date update. I know Brooke has said multiple times, almost suspiciously, that she's not on any dating apps.

[Alexa]

Yeah, she always brings it up.

[Jeffrey]

Dude. Hey, Brooke, what are you doing over there? Not swiping on random men online. That.

[Brooke]

That's for sure, teeny ds. I think.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

See, she's doubling down. What do you want me to say?

[Jeffrey]

We're all going to believe her on this, but let's say Brooke was on the app.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Okay?

[Jeffrey]

What would her profile say?

[Alexa]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

Probably give me your name, phone number, and how many Cheetos you can fit in your mouth.

Awkwardly after phone number so nobody would understand the Cheeto joke.

[Brooke]

And are those puffs, buffs or the classics?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, not sure what that means.

[Alexa]

I come from a clown family. Ask me more.

[Brooke]

It's a magician. Okay, don't ask about help.

[Jeffrey]

I'll tell you, bottom line, it would probably be a total disaster. But what about the rest of the normal people out there? What's on their dating profiles? Let's find out. And talk to Elena, who emailed the show for help.

[Alexa]

Okay?

[Jeffrey]

Welcome to the chaos.

[Brooke]

Hey, Elena.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Hey, everyone.

[Brooke]

How are you? Elena would swipe right on me.

[Jeffrey]

Right, Elena?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Totally.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Alexa]

Way to be nice, Elena.

[Jeffrey]

You into the ladies or the guys?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Well, right now we're talking about Trey.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, and what does Trey have on his dating profile that stuck out to you?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

You know what? A couple things. I mean, one, physically beautiful eyes, gorgeous smile. I mean, just typical, like, drop dead.

[Brooke]

And then an average of 10 cheetos. Right.

[Jeffrey]

Frito Lay Obsession.

[Alexa]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so he's a beautiful man.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah. And what did stick out was he loved adventures. He, like, wants to fill his time with his hobbies of adventures.

[Brooke]

What does that mean? That's so vague. Like, is he specific on that?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Well, he liked biking. I mean, just lots of, like, outdoorsy stuff.

[Brooke]

Okay, okay.

[Jeffrey]

Adventures makes it sound like he likes to get out and travel and see new things.

[Brooke]

Yeah, Rock climb. That's what I think of.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, that's a really nice thing to say in your profile, even if it isn't true.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So did you. Did you meet up with him?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

We did. We got some drinks, and right when he walked in, he looked so much smaller in person. Like, his pictures. Yeah. Made him look just a Little bit more.

[Jeffrey]

Like, are you talking height wise? Are you talking size?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Like everything.

[Brooke]

Everything is small.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And from your voice, it sounds like you were disappointed in how he looked physically. Is that true?

[Brooke]

Usually smaller on a guy isn't exciting.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah, no.

[Jeffrey]

Well, yeah.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Girls.

[Jeffrey]

Not about the size, about how you use it.

[Alexa]

A girl's obsessive.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah, I wasn't. He said everything.

[Pets Best Announcer]

That's muscles, that's everything.

[Jeffrey]

Smaller.

[Brooke]

It's just a difference.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Okay, so I did bring it up. I was like, you know what, I'm kind of surprised. Like in your photos, you look just a little bit more.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Wow.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

That is bold.

[Brooke]

What did he say?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Well, I wasn't mean about it, guys.

[Brooke]

I don't know. But also, if he's a catfish, he.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Should get called out.

[Sophie Cunningham]

I mean.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

There'S so much craziness online. But he was laughing about it. He says, actually, I'm on a health kick. And I was like, oh, really? What kind of health kick are you on? And he's like, it's a huge health kick. So I've definitely lost like £30 recently. I was like, oh, okay.

[Brooke]

And you're like, you didn't need to. I liked you when you were bulky.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I didn't know.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

That's what I was thinking.

[Jeffrey]

I didn't know you could shrink from that stuff too, like, height wise. But.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Well, I couldn't see his height, but you know what I'm saying? Small. So anyway, you not believe this? This man tells me he has a treadmill in every single room in his house.

[Alexa]

What's every single room?

[Brooke]

Was that a joke?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

No. So I start laughing because I'm like, oh, wow, crazy. Health kick. Yeah. And he says, no, really? My buddy and I cleaned out a warehouse that had a bunch of treadmills, ellipticals, blah, blah, blah. So they sold a bunch of them, but there were just some leftovers, so I kept a lot of them.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

So he's got like a little mini 24 hour fitness in his apartment?

[Brooke]

Either that or he's got an area in each room to throw all of his clothes on.

[Jeffrey]

Drying rack.

[Brooke]

Okay, so this isn't a red flag to you? Treadmills get boring and maybe nice to.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Mix up the scenery.

[Jeffrey]

Keeps him motivated. If he keeps seeing the treadmill, he'll want to eventually get.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

And it was intimidating too.

[Brooke]

It was intimidating for you A little bit.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

A little bit too. But you know what? The conversation, we ended up laughing about it. And then it was like, we're having drinks. But we started having those fun, like, hey, let's go on another date. Let's see each other again. Let's. Yeah. And it turned out super fun. And out of the blue, he says to me, hey, what would you do if I show up at your house tomorrow and say, hey, let's go to the Virgin Islands, and we leave in three hours?

[Brooke]

What?

[Alexa]

That's crazy.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

And I was like, heck, yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, you said yes. You're like a wild child. You're ready to go.

[Jeffrey]

Was that a joke, or was he serious?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

You know, I think he just threw it out. Hypothetically, the trip. But I am an adventurous lady.

[Brooke]

That's interesting. So he sounds like. I mean, also, like, he's just a big dreamer. Right. Like, he's always got some big grand plan and. And you love that idea.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah. And it was fun to, like, daydream like that.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So how did that night end?

[Brooke]

Not in the Cayman Islands.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

No, not entertainment, unfortunately. Well, we said bye with a. With a hug, which was kind of.

[Brooke]

No kiss.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

No kiss.

[Brooke]

You think a guy like that would go in for a kiss if he was really wanting to take.

[Jeffrey]

I thought so too, and it was a hug. That wasn't as big of a hug as she was expecting because he's so small.

[Brooke]

My arms just kept going.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And he wasn't there to pick you up the next day? Like, he.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

He definitely didn't come by.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

He didn't come by. It's been, like, a week.

[Brooke]

It's been a week.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah. But I don't know what I did. I keep thinking, was I too much like a friend? Almost like.

[Brooke]

No. Sometimes those big dreamer people can also be big flaky.

[Alexa]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

You know what I mean? Like, it's like, a lot of talk and not a lot of followers off.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Hiking a mountain somewhere.

[Brooke]

That could be.

[Jeffrey]

But your email to us said that you've been texting with Trey a few times.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Well, I've been texting. He just hasn't responded.

[Brooke]

Maybe he's just waiting for you to show up at his house.

[Alexa]

House. What if he's literally in the Cayman Islands and was like, oh, I forgot to pick her up?

[Jeffrey]

It's like the Jamaican version of Home Alone. We're gonna hopefully bring it to a happy conclusion. When we come back, we'll call Trey for you and try and get you your second date update. Get you over to one of those islands right after this. Okay.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Awesome.

[Jeffrey]

Second date update. One man, one woman, and 20 treadmills.

All running at the exact same time.

[Alexa]

How romantic. It's a 400 meter sprint to love jump.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

On this one at least.

[Jeffrey]

How it's going for our listener, Elena.

[Brooke]

And oh, it's so funny.

[Jeffrey]

The guy that she was recently out with named Trey, cuz they went and grabbed some drinks, she learned that he really does have treadmills in every single room of his house. That was the weird part of the night afterwards. It got a lot better from there. And they were laughing together, they were planning future dates. And he even threw out a theoretical of maybe taking her to an exotic island, showing up at her house and just whisking her away. I know, and it got her really excited. But it's been a week since that date happened and there has been no second date and no trips abroad.

[Brooke]

You know, it's like you felt like you recovered from the very beginning. But maybe he just really was insulted when you told him he was. He was smaller than in his pictures.

[Alexa]

Yeah, well, and maybe because after you patted him on the head after you said that.

[Jeffrey]

Do you think that's possible, Elena?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Possible? I don't know. It was a pretty fun conversation after that.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I could see his reaction. I couldn't get over a guy telling me I looked bigger than in my pictures. Like I wouldn't, you know, I don't know that I also working out a lot, so. That's true.

[Jeffrey]

Let's see. We're going to call him right now. Hopefully he's not in the middle of one of his treadmill workouts, but that'd.

[Brooke]

Be amazing if he was small.

[Alexa]

I imagine it's like a hamster.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I'm in the kitchen.

[Jeffrey]

Let's try and call him. Here we go.

[Brooke]

Hello?

I think we're safe.

[Jeffrey]

I think we're good. Hey, is this Trey?

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Yeah, this is Trey.

[Brooke]

Hi, Trey.

[Jeffrey]

You're on the radio right now with a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

How many people are on the phone? Wait, what'd you say?

[Jeffrey]

Answer your first question. Four people are in this room. And this is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning that you're on right now.

[Brooke]

Hey, why? Great question.

[Alexa]

You're sharp.

[Jeffrey]

We like that. This is a segment called A Second Date Update and we're trying to help out one of our listeners, get a hold of you, and maybe even see if we can hook you up for another date because you went out with her already one time named Elena.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Oh.

[Alexa]

Oh, you remember her, right?

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Yeah, I know. I know who Elena is.

[Alexa]

Okay.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Okay.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Did she have you call me?

[Brooke]

Huh?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's how the segment works. We. We kind of get a vibe of how the first date went, and then we reach out on her behalf to try and figure out how we can get you two back together.

[Brooke]

There's a reason she's confused. It sounds like on your date, you guys were talking a lot about, like, going out again and how fun that'd be.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

I mean, yeah, we had a good time. She seems like she's fun, and that's great.

[Jeffrey]

She said a lot of the same stuff about you.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Yeah, there was. I don't know, there was a moment, though, that was kind of a deal breaker for me. So I don't think that's gonna be working out.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no, that's all right. I mean, you're allowed to have your opinions on stuff, but it would help if. If maybe we could know about the moment and pass that along to Elena just to help her out.

[Brooke]

Right. Make her feel better, to have some closure, insight.

[Jeffrey]

Would you mind sharing?

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Okay. Yeah.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Okay.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

I guess I should explain that I have this thing that I do when I go out on a date with someone for the first time. It's kind of like a litmus test.

[Jeffrey]

We've heard a few of these before.

[Brooke]

We do a lot of these dating segments, and there's a lot of people that have different types of. Types of tests when they go out, and they usually don't end very well.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but Brooke, still. She loves them.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

I mean, I usually ask something to the effect of, like, if I show up at your door tomorrow and say, a plane's leaving in three hours and we're going to the islands, you want to come?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay.

[Alexa]

That's the test, actually. Fun.

[Jeffrey]

Well, she mentioned that to us. Yeah. And she said that she was up for it, right?

[Brooke]

Yeah, she told us it was a fun hypothetical question that you asked on the date.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

She tell you how she responded?

[Jeffrey]

Like, she seemed excited. Yeah, I'm down to travel or something like that.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Yeah, no, that's the. That's the wrong answer to that question. That's, like, worst answer you can give me.

[Brooke]

Wait, let's go. Is the wrong answer if you're inviting.

[Alexa]

Someone to do something and they agree.

[Brooke]

I thought you were, like, adventure boy.

[Jeffrey]

What's the right answer?

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

The right answer is let me check and see if I can. Or, you know, let me look at my schedule or, you know, I'll have to talk to my friends or anything, really. Anything else that indicates that you've got a life of your own that you're living.

[Alexa]

Oh, you don't drop everything for a stranger. I can kind of see.

[Brooke]

But it was a Hypothetical question. Like you weren't actually doing it. Like, honestly, if you actually showed up at her door, she probably would have to make some pre. Arrangements.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah, and maybe.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

But she got very excited. She kept saying, you know, I'm gonna pack my bags and be ready to go. She had no indication that she has any responsibilities, that she has a career.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah, hold on.

[Brooke]

There's no responsibility.

[Jeffrey]

Hold on. Elena.

[Brooke]

Yep. Spontaneous.

[Jeffrey]

Well, it's too late to surprise him with it now, because, Trey, you've probably heard her voice at this point. That's Elena, who's been waiting to talk to you.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Trey, you're so funny. Because, you know what's so funny about my responsibilities is I probably make three times what you make. Oh.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Wow.

[Brooke]

I mean, that's not the point. I guess that's a flex. Like, good on you, Elena, but why do you bring that up?

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

I don't think that's true.

[Jeffrey]

We need one of you at a time. Trey, what do you have to say to Elena? That she makes three times as much as you?

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

I say that's really unlikely. I don't believe that's true. And even if it were true, it has nothing to do with anything right now.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Okay, well, he sells. He sells treadmills on the side, guys.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

So if you ever need.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

He's very selling those things.

[Jeffrey]

All right, let's settle this. We'll settle this once and for all. Let's all go around the room and say how much money we make to you.

[Brooke]

Well, I mean, Trey, that should be great news for you, because then Elena can pay for the Cayman Islands vacation and take you with her.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Let's hop in the PJ and fly down there. I'm sure she's got one.

[Brooke]

I mean, this all seems so silly. You guys are fighting about a hypothetical question.

[Jeffrey]

Is it just a hypothetical question, or. Trey, do you really do this and actually take women to islands? If. If they give you the right answer and say, let me check my schedule first.

[Brooke]

You sound very eager, Jeffrey.

[Jeffrey]

I want to know.

Very busy, man. I've got a lot of hobbies and responsibilities.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

If she answers, you know, she gives a good answer to the question, we get a second date, and maybe it goes from there.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so it is in the cards.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

It's like, not with me.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Absolutely. Yeah. I've done it before, but it's not something that's going to happen the first night we meet.

[Brooke]

Okay, you're like the troll under the bridge with the riddles. If you answer that correctly, then you can pass Elena.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

There you go.

[Jeffrey]

I'm Hearing you saying, like, no, not for me. Like, why are you so closed off. Off to it?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Are you really?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

I would never. Now that I know he tests and that there's all these, like, hypothetical and is it. It's just. No, I'm over it.

[Jeffrey]

There's not all these hypotheticals and all these hoops. It's just one question.

[Alexa]

But now I kind of see her point. Because it's like, he could be like, hey, do you want dessert? And she's like, no. And he's like, oh, well, you just failed another test.

[Brooke]

It's a lot.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Another test?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Someone's entire life on how they answer that question.

[Alexa]

Again, another hypothetical.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

You know what, guys? It's my prerogative to ask the questions I want to ask on my first date.

[Jeffrey]

Sure.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

But the fact that she brought up money right away to try to one up me is a huge red flag. It's a really low class move. It tells me I made the right choice.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

You're the one that said I didn't have responsibilities. I just wanted to let you know that my house is fully paid off and I have plenty of to go around, so. That's the thing is you didn't even ask, but you're gonna bring up that I don't have responsibility to make yourself look good? Babe, I don't think so.

[Brooke]

I mean, I know you guys are kind of fighting right now, but really feel like they're a good match.

[Jeffrey]

I know.

[Alexa]

Hypothetically. Hypothetically, if that never happened, you know.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

What we might have done if she didn't get me on the radio to put me on the spot?

[Brooke]

Now it's this.

[Alexa]

Okay, now it's our fault.

[Jeffrey]

See, that's her test.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

It's always my fault. That's the thing. This is the type of guy he is. I see now.

I'm the winner. Yay.

[Jeffrey]

You know, even this is going horribly. I'm gonna ask anyway to send you guys out on a second date that we would pay for.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

We make so much money locally, though, we can't go.

[Jeffrey]

We can't cross country. Borders. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep it within the area code.

[Alexa]

Not in the Cayman Islands. Maybe like a Caribbean restaurant.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Anybody.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

That's a big heart for me. That's a no for me.

[Brad/Trey (Date Males)]

Elena was great. We had a lot of fun on that first day, but it's a no for me.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, mutual at least. Now I'd like to offer to send Trey and me to a private island. Trey? Elena. Will you pay for it?

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Not me. Definitely not.

[Alexa]

Oh, come on.

[Brooke]

You make all the money.

[Jeffrey]

Your house has already paid off.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning this.

[Jeffrey]

Too bad we couldn't get a yes from those two because I think we all agree that they would have been good for each other. Like, just taken a second to think about it and listen.

[Brooke]

If you would have just dropped that test, they would have been on a floor state by now.

[Alexa]

That was the only thing.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she would have laughed it off and been like, oh, that was like one. One dumb test. Like, I can get over it. I don't want to blame one of them because they both kind of share the blame for not hearing each other out.

[Brooke]

Dude, the money brag shocked me. Yeah.

Good for you. But yeah was weird.

[Alexa]

Interesting.

[Brooke]

It's a hard. Not the first time she's used that in argument.

[Alexa]

Yeah, my house is paid off.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, ready to go. But I know hypotheticals are a touchy subject. The thing is, we never got to ask the real hypothetical.

[Brooke]

What's that?

[Jeffrey]

Would Brooke take a DNA test to prove her children are really her husband? It's a hypothetical. But she keeps saying screaming no. And the fact that she says that speaks volume. Oh, now you would.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Of course I would.

[Listener Caller (Kelly/Elena)]

Yeah, when we're on air.

[Jeffrey]

But behind closed doors, it's been no for the past four years.

[Brooke]

Dude, that first baby I had looked exactly like my husband.

[Alexa]

The second one, she can't remember the.

What a matchup we got y'. All. This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit Chance echo drum beat everybody showing that school pride game like this. Yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there.
