"I'm Onto You" – The Bar Call Mystery

[Segment Starts ~04:05]

Summary

Jillian reached out to the show after her recent promising in-person bar meet-cute with Zach swiftly soured. Despite making plans for a skee ball date, she receives a cryptic cancellation text—"I'm on to you. Date's off." Mystified, Jillian asks the Brooke and Jeffrey team to intervene and get to the bottom of the bizarre message.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

• Jillian's Bar Encounter

  • Met Zach at a bar when she overheard him discussing the musical Wicked, a topic she couldn't help but join in on.
  • She usually doesn’t make the first move but felt compelled to correct his "wrong opinions" and flirted playfully.
  • The night progressed; plans for another date (skeeball night) were made.
  • Suddenly, Zach texts: "I'm on to you. Dates off." – leaving her confused.
    [08:00]

• Hosts' Initial Speculation

  • Wonder if Zach thought Jillian was in a relationship, hiding something, or perhaps he mistook her for someone else.
  • Jillian is uncertain and says no incriminating Google results would come up about her ("I swear I paid to have all those articles deleted" – Jeff, [08:36]).

• Zach Joins the Call

  • Reluctant and somewhat guarded at first when confronted by the hosts ([12:04]).
  • Explains that the bar’s bartender recognized Jillian and told him she regularly calls bars to check if there are "any cute guys" before coming out ([13:45]).
  • Zach felt deceived and un-special, believing he was just the latest in a list of "cute bar guys."
    • Quote: “I'm just another cute guy at a bar to her, and it's just kind of shady that...she kind of planned the whole thing.” – Zach, [15:02]

• Jillian’s Response

  • Jillian denies calling every night, admits it’s something she sometimes does on weekends to avoid wasted trips.
  • Points out that she didn’t lie about approaching rarely, despite the pre-trip recon.
  • Attempts to reassure Zach: “The bartender said there were lots of cute guys, but you were the cutest, and you’re the one I talked to, Zachary.” – Jillian, [18:13]

• Resolution

  • After some debate (and playful ribbing from the hosts), Zach hesitantly agrees to try another date, but quickly walks back: “Yeah, probably not.” – Zach, [19:25]
  • The hosts joke that two “ghosts” can make a right—this fairy tale’s Jack and Jill isn’t meant to be.

Notable Moments & Quotes

• Bar Pickup Advice Gone Awry:
  • “You could do what Brooke does. Open up her purse and say, ‘Hey, I got some free jerky I bought off a rando in the street. Want to share a stick?’” – Jeff, [03:49]
• Nursery Rhyme Confusion:
  • “Zack and Jill?” “You mean Jack and Jill.” – Jeff and Brooke, [10:09]

"Just A Little Short" – The Rent Request Dilemma

[Segment Starts ~23:13]

Summary

Carly had a seemingly great first date with Blaine after meeting at Topgolf. They hit it off, shared a “really good” kiss, and planned to meet up again. But post-date texts about her struggles to pay rent—and a request for more money following Blaine's $200 Venmo—resulted in silence from his end.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

• How Carly and Blaine Met

  • Met at Topgolf at a friend's birthday party; exchanged numbers (Blaine wrote his on a golf ball, "which is cool" – Carly, [26:04]).
  • Carly accelerated their next meeting from Friday to Tuesday, feeling an early connection.

• The Date and the Aftermath

  • Dinner and drinks were enjoyable; they kissed at the end.
  • Texted afterward; conversation turned to Carly mentioning being “short on rent this month.”
    • Carly: “I was just sharing general stuff… I was just feeling a little stressed because of this.” [27:17]

• Money Sent, Then Silence

  • Blaine, empathetic, sends $200 through Venmo to assist (unprompted to be a loan).
  • Carly: “He was really sweet… I wasn’t expecting him to do anything.” [28:05]
  • He then stops responding and cancels their next plans.

• The $800 Curveball

  • When reached by the hosts, Blaine reveals Carly followed up after the $200 with:
    • “Look, I need $800 more from you or I'm gonna have to go to work.” – Blaine, reading from Carly’s text, [36:38]
  • Blaine is put off, questioning both her intentions and whether she does this routinely with other men.

• Carly’s Defense

  • She claims she was simply “informing” him, not overtly asking, and echoes: “Who wants to go to work? I mean, like, nobody does. I don’t want to.” [36:53]
  • The hosts are divided between amusement, skepticism, and mild admiration at her chutzpah.

• Resolution

  • Blaine firmly declines a second date offer even when the show offers to pay: “I’m not feeling it. No… Next thing I know, she’s probably trying to sell me some Bitcoin or something.” [39:00]
  • Carly pivots: “Can we just get on with the gift card thing?” [38:46]

Notable Moments & Quotes

• When Honesty Feels Like an Ask:
  • “Who wants to go to work? I mean, like, nobody does. I don’t want to.” – Carly, [36:53]
• Blunt Rejection:
  • “There's no way I'm giving a thousand dollars to a chick I just met, you know?” – Blaine, [35:10]
• Host Reaction:
  • “Carly, I am equally parts disappointed and impressed by you.” – Jeff, [38:41]

---

Show Highlights, Humor & Banter

• The hosts’ chemistry shines through their teasing, pop culture jokes (“Jack and Jill,” rent-a-date suggestions), and quick quips.
• Running jokes about Brooke’s “bar jerky” and Alexis and Jeff gaming the dating scene added levity.

---

Segment Timestamps

• Intro & Setup: 02:44 – 04:05
• "I'm Onto You" Story: 04:05 – 21:22
• "Just A Little Short" Story: 23:13 – 39:18
• Host Reactions & Wrap-Up: 40:36–41:48

Final Takeaways

• Modern Dating is Complicated: Both stories demonstrate that trust, intentions, and communication are easily misread.
• Not All Transparency Is Equal: What feels like vulnerable honesty to one may feel transactional or suspicious to the other.
• Sometimes, It Really Is Better to Get Ghosted: At least you get a good story for the group chat—and for classic podcast radio.

[Alexis]

You love saving for all week right now.

[Jeffrey]

That's right. It's Brick and Jeffrey in the morning. And just a heads up, tomorrow right here on the feed, we are going to be hosting something very special, something just very unique, and that is our full hour episode. Yes.

[Alexis]

One of our favorites from last week that we aired on our other podcast feed.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah. So we have three podcast feeds. Second date is our most popular, and then we have a main feed where we do one hour long episodes every day. So this is just to give you a taste and see if you like it and if you don't, you know, turn it off.

[Alexis]

Yeah, it's that simple.

[Brooke]

We like getting the numbers.

[Jeffrey]

So that's just a heads up to check back here tomorrow. And right now, just enjoy your Back to back classics.

[Jeff]

If you're a single lady and you're looking to make the first move and approach a guy at a bar, what is the right play?

[Alexis]

Spill my drink on him.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I'm just gonna say, make eye contact and say hi.

[Brooke]

And then spill the drink.

[Jeff]

You could do what Brooke does. Open up her purse and say, hey, I got some free jerky I bought off a rando in the street. Want to share a stick? And her purse is huge.

[Brooke]

So she's like, hop in.

[Jeffrey]

Everybody knows jerky stands on the side of the highway are the best.

[Brooke]

They actually, yes, she's right.

[Jeff]

It has a surprisingly high success rate. Or you can do what one of our listeners did when she saw Cute guy, and even though her move was a little unorthodox, apparently it worked. Okay, you're gonna hear it in your second date update right after this second date update for a date. Would you rather be silently ghosted or blatantly canceled on?

[Jeffrey]

Yikes. I mean, at least you would know if you're blatantly canceled on.

[Brooke]

Yeah, but I can make up my own excuse. Like, I'm too perfect.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

You know what I mean?

[Jeffrey]

Is that what you do when you're ghosted?

[Jeff]

There's still that, like, glimmer of hope that maybe they got the wrong bar.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Or maybe they got arrested or their phone broke. Yeah. Because they fell down a manhole and they can't get out.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, darted.

[Jeff]

You can invent a story for yourself there. That makes you feel good. But today, one of our listeners, Jillian, thought she had a Second date, locked down until she got one very strange last minute text calling it off. And now she's really confused and needs our help. Jillian, welcome to the show.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Hi. Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

Hi. My interest is so piqued. I want to know what that text message says.

[Brooke]

Someone was direct and you're confused.

[Jeff]

Yeah. So let's start at the beginning of your story. How did you meet this guy? What's his name?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

His name's Zach.

[Blaine]

Zack.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Jeff]

Where did you and Zach meet?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

So we met at a bar.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, in real life.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

In real life, yeah. I know, right? Crazy. So it was like, last Friday night. I had been planning on staying in, like, not going out at all that night.

[Jeffrey]

That's when it always happens, right?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

I know, right?

[Jeffrey]

Which means that you weren't looking your best. You're probably kind of a mess, but yes.

[Jeff]

Okay. It's a little harsh.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know. I don't mean that in a mean way.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

I was looking cute.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. That's just me.

[Alexis]

That's right.

[Jeffrey]

Can't relate.

[Brooke]

Brooke.

[Jeffrey]

My bad, my bad.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Then I had this, like, feeling after I got home from work where I was like, no, you know what? I actually don't want to have a cozy night in. I want to go do something that's a good feeling.

[Brooke]

I always have the feeling to go in. But when you get the feeling to go out, that's so fun.

[Jeffrey]

You bring in the good energy.

[Jeff]

Okay, so where do you go?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

So I call my girlfriend. We go to a bar kind of by my place, and we're just hanging out, and then I see this guy, and I, like. I don't usually make the first move, like, ever, but I was kind of, like, listening to their. Not listening to their conversation. But I was at the bar trying.

[Jeffrey]

To get a drink, I thought you were gonna say. But I was kind of drunk, so I did it. Yeah.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

No, no, no. We're right there. They were talking about the movie Wicked, and I had just seen it, and their opinions were, like, totally wrong. So I jumped in to tell him why he was wrong, but also just, like, to flirt with him and love.

[Jeffrey]

To be told they were wrong right off the bat.

[Brooke]

Don't argue about a man with Wicked either.

[Alexis]

I just love that it was two guys arguing over Wicked together.

[Jeff]

I know.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that was cute.

[Jeff]

I feel like I already know why he's not calling you back, but go ahead. I know.

[Jeffrey]

Me too. J.

[Jeff]

No. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

She was being playful. Come on.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, if you, like, touch their arm and stuff, then they love an argument. So anyway, we Ended up talking for a while. We went to another bar together, just the two of us.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you ditched your girlfriend.

[Brooke]

Okay, that's good.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, well, she was kind of done. She was like, yeah, I came out for you, so if you're good, like, bye. And we had plans for a second date. We were going to go to this bar that has skeeball, and I was going to beat him at skeeball, and it was going to be great.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my gosh. So you guys even talked about where and when and all of it.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, all of it. And so then here's the crazy part. That morning that we're supposed to go out, I get a text from him that says, I'm on to you. Dates off.

[Jeff]

On to you.

[Jeffrey]

On to you.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

I'm on to you. Yeah.

[Jeff]

What does that mean?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

I don't know. I texted him back and I was like, what are you talking about? And then he just didn't answer me.

[Jeffrey]

Does he think that you're in a relationship or something? That's the first thing that I think.

[Jeff]

Oh, yeah. We should have asked. Are you currently with somebody?

[Jeffrey]

No.

[Zach]

No.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Brooke]

She's like, you're married with six kids.

[Jeff]

What's wrong with that?

[Jeffrey]

And that's so strange, too, because you don't have any. Like, it's not like you can ask his friends. You don't know anybody that he knows. Yeah, you know, right, Exactly. If you Google search your name, is there, like, a weird news article that comes up of somebody with a shared name?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

I don't even know if he knows my last name to Google me at all. But also, like, I don't think anything crazy comes up.

[Brooke]

She's like, my last name's Dahmer. I don't understand.

[Jeff]

And I swear I paid to have all those articles deleted. Ye. Scrubbed off of here. So.

[Brooke]

This is a true mystery.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah. My best guess is that maybe one of his friends, like, thought I was someone else, thought they recognized me. You know, like, Dark Bar. I don't know.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, I.

[Jeff]

You know what?

[Brooke]

That's happened to my friend group before.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, really?

[Brooke]

I thought she was some other girl, bro. Never mind.

[Jeffrey]

It could be that, like, a girl from the dating apps or something like.

[Alexis]

That is just so bold, like, and.

[Jeffrey]

That you don't follow it up. Like, if you're gonna accuse, just tell me what I've been accused of.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, it's just so frustrating. Like, I. I've texted him a few times, being like, hey, I don't even need to go out again. I just want to Know what are you upset about? And I don't get anything.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, well, and you need to know for future dates, because what if other men say the same thing and you still don't know what you know?

[Brooke]

We're like notorious and you have no idea how.

[Alexis]

Unless you're purposely using him for something. Just tell us now at least.

[Jeff]

Mass texting him makes you sound super laid back and chill so he has nothing to complain about when we call him now and try and ask him why he didn't follow through with the second date that you had already arranged with him.

[Jeffrey]

When we ask him what the hell that text message meant.

[Jeff]

Yeah, let's really pile on and tell him everything he's done wrong in his.

[Alexis]

Life and his opinions on wicked suck.

[Jeff]

We will beat him into a pulp when we do your second date update. Coming up right after this second date update. I can't believe we never caught the nursery rhyme connection.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Jeff]

Cuz our listener Jillian.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Met a guy named Zach.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Zack and Jill.

[Jeff]

Zack and Jill?

[Jeffrey]

You mean Jack and Jill.

[Brooke]

Yeah, but it sounds.

[Jeff]

It sounds pretty close.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, someone flunked. I'm just saying. Someone flunked preschool in this room and it wasn't me.

[Brooke]

Okay?

[Jeffrey]

Cause it was definitely not Zach.

[Brooke]

Stop trying to rhyme, Jay.

[Jeff]

Okay, sorry for trying to draw a connection. I thought it was a cute story.

[Mario Lopez]

I did too.

[Jeff]

They met at a bar. They were drinking pails of White claw together.

[Alexis]

Is that how the nursery rhyme goes? Yeah, pretty much.

[Jeff]

Jill said great to another date and Zach canceled last second. Oh, okay. That's where we are today. Like a total jerk, Zach reached out to Jillian the day of their second meetup and said, I'm on to you. Date canceled.

[Brooke]

So Zach just is fetching a pail of water right now?

[Jeffrey]

No, he's rolling down a hill, I think.

[Alexis]

I thought it was White claw.

[Brooke]

Oh, I got the nursery.

[Jeff]

Right now the whole thing is confusing, especially to Jillian, because there was no explanation for what he meant by I'm.

[Jeffrey]

On to you that it's so accusatory. I mean, the thing is, is that although Jeff, you're calling him a jerk, he thinks she's a jerk is what it sounds like.

[Jeff]

Yeah, but we don't know why.

[Jeffrey]

Exactly.

[Brooke]

I'm on to you. We'll raise an eyebrow to anybody.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Walk up to me and say that. Right now. I'd be like, what?

[Jeffrey]

You feel guilty?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

No matter what.

[Brooke]

What am I doing?

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

My guess is that he's going to be coming in hot.

[Brooke]

I know.

[Jeffrey]

Like a text like that, it's not going to be a good explanation.

[Brooke]

I just thought it's. What if it's his tagline? What if he answers it like, I'm on to you.

[Jeff]

Hello?

[Brooke]

You know, like, what if that's his thing?

[Jeff]

That's his go to guy for it.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Oh, no.

[Jeff]

Yeah, you probably don't want to end up with him.

[Alexis]

Yeah. Then we hang.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Probably not.

[Jeff]

Dial his number, see how he answers the phone if he picks up and hopefully get an explanation. Are you ready? I'm ready.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

That would be great. Thank you.

[Jeff]

So that was a question just to myself.

[Brooke]

I'm ready when he's talking to Jeff.

[Jeff]

Okay. Hello? Hey, is this Zach?

[Zach]

Yes. Who's speaking?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, interesting. Hey, Zach. Welcome to the show.

[Zach]

What is this? Hello?

[Jeff]

Sorry. Sorry for that. She was so flirty with that question. This is. They're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. This is a segment called Second Date Update. Okay, you could help us because we have a listener who you met up with the other night. Her name is Jillian.

[Jeffrey]

You guys met at a bar?

[Blaine]

Oh, my God.

[Zach]

Are you joking?

[Jeffrey]

No.

[Zach]

Yeah, she keeps texting me.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, right.

[Jeff]

I can hear you're confused. Can I tell you what we know from what Jillian told us? Because she said you guys met at the bar the other night, you hit it off, ended up separating from your friend group to just hang out one on one and then arranged a second meetup. Had it all planned out until the day of. She got this cryptic text from you saying, I'm on to you. Yeah.

[Blaine]

Wow.

[Zach]

Okay. So she called you a lot.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Because, I mean, honestly, she has no idea what you're referring to in that text message.

[Zach]

Well, I can explain that.

[Jeff]

That would be great because she just does not understand what happened if she did something wrong. We're just trying to give her some clarity.

[Brooke]

We asked, are you in the middle of some awful dealings? And she's like, I am not in the midst of evil. So you know what I mean? So she has no idea what you're talking about.

[Zach]

Okay, so the day of the next date, I went back to the bar that we had met at and this bartender recognizes me and he says, hey, are you hanging out with Jillian again anytime soon?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, they know her at the bar. Like she's a regular or something.

[Zach]

Okay, well, that's what I was thinking. So I say, what's going on? How do you know her? And he says that she calls the bar like every night asking if there's any cute guys there.

[Jeffrey]

You can do that. Oh, really? World Just opened up. Are you serious?

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

She calls ahead of time just to see if it's worth her time to go down there.

[Zach]

Yeah, not just that place. Apparently she does that all over town.

[Jeffrey]

How do you know all over town?

[Zach]

That's what the bartender said. So I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

So are you upset that you were the cute guy that the bartender reported on?

[Alexis]

Kind of a compliment?

[Jeff]

Or the fact that she calls the bar every single night going out there?

[Jeffrey]

Like she doesn't go to the bar every night though.

[Jeff]

Unless there's cute guys.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, there's a good rating. Fair enough.

[Brooke]

That's why she decided to go from I'm staying home to I'm going out.

[Jeff]

Yes, right.

[Alexis]

It's worth her going out for. That's a compliment.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

She said that to you?

[Jeff]

She mentioned that the night that she was going out and met you, she was considering staying in, but something changed her mind and she wanted to go out that night instead. Okay, so turns out that something was a phone call to the bar to ask if there's any good looking guys there. But we didn't know that.

[Jeffrey]

Why does that make you so upset?

[Zach]

Well, I'm just another cute guy at a bar to her. And it's just kind of shady that she is talking how spiritual, spontaneous this whole thing was when really she kind of planned the whole thing.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's interesting. So it feels like you were deceived a little bit.

[Brooke]

You're saying it's nice to be the cute guy, but now it's like you don't feel special because every night there's another cute guy.

[Alexis]

I just feel like it's weird someone pretends they just met you randomly when they didn't. It's like acting a bit.

[Jeff]

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Zach]

I didn't feel special at all. And it's pretty weird to me now.

[Jeffrey]

You should feel special. You're on a radio show.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

She calls us every day though.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

No, she doesn't.

[Brooke]

She's never call us before.

[Jeffrey]

Ever.

[Jeff]

Actually, she specifically reached out so that we could get in contact with you to find this information out. That should mean something, right?

[Zach]

I guess. I mean, now you have your reason though.

[Jeff]

Okay, well, thank you for that and we're thankful. But who I think is more appreciative is actually Jillian, who is on the other line listening to this conversation.

[Brooke]

It does sound like she's like always.

[Jeff]

On the other line. Yeah.

[Zach]

Oh my God.

[Jeffrey]

The only one actually making phone calls these days.

[Jeff]

Jillian, are you there?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

I'm here and I have quite a bit to say in response to that.

[Jeff]

Coming in high good things.

[Jeffrey]

Not a I'm sorry.

[Jeff]

Well, maybe.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

No, I'm not sorry. What did I do wrong? Listen, first of all, I do not call them every night. Like, Friday and Saturday nights.

[Jeff]

Okay?

[Blaine]

Okay.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

And, like, listen, if I'm at home, I don't have to, like, put on pants and, like, makeup, you know, like, just to go to a bar when there's nobody there. And so I'll call, be like, hey, is it popping? There are a lot of guys there. What's going on? And. But. But I was not lying to you, Gu, when I said I almost never approach anybody.

[Brooke]

Oh, she did mention that to us, Zach.

[Jeffrey]

I mean. Yeah. Are you still there, Zach?

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Zach]

I'm not sure what to believe anymore. I mean, she's saying one thing to you guys. The bartender says a different thing than me, so I don't know. This is all kind of shady.

[Jeffrey]

Dude, it would have been such a good pickup line to walk up to him and be like, hey, I called ahead of time. They said you were here.

[Jeff]

You're hot. Yeah, I don't know if that's going to go for that.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I think it would.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, you're right. Maybe I'll just say it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. No, I asked for hot guys and they delivered you. I'm so happy to tell us how that goes.

[Jeff]

Not as romantic to a guy's ear as you probably think.

[Jeffrey]

Anyone's looking for romance at a bar, Jeff. They're just looking to talk more.

[Jeff]

Well, clearly someone who is looking for romance is Zach, and he feels like he's not special, that he's just one of many guys. You would have taken any cute guy at the bar that night, and he just happened to be there.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

That is absolutely not accurate. I can see why he would think that, but it's. It's so not true.

[Brooke]

Okay, well, that's good to hear.

[Jeff]

We do appreciate you coming forward, Jillian, and actually admitting that you did this, because I think a lot of people would deny it or try to, like, be like, no, I've never done that. Yeah, you told us you were going to stay in, but you had a special feeling. And the special feeling was a call to the bar asking them to scope out hot guys for you, which Alexis.

[Jeffrey]

Is definitely picking up.

[Alexis]

I think every bar should just start posting who's there online at this point before you go in.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Zach, you should feel special. The bartender said there were lots of cute guys, but you were the cutest, and you're the one. I talked to Zachary.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, look at that. Stand out. You're a standout cutie, Zach.

[Zach]

It's just strange to pretend like it wasn't all set up.

[Jeff]

Well, now that all the information is out there, can we book skee ball again and actually follow through with the second date that you had already planned for each other before this misunderstanding?

[Jeffrey]

I mean, if anything, Zach, it shows what a on top organizer nice woman she is.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she's definitely got her her life organized.

[Brooke]

And if you guys start dating, she'll call the bar and make sure it's all ugly guys next time she goes.

[Jeffrey]

That's a good point, Jose.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

I haven't called the bar since I met you.

[Zach]

All right?

[Jeff]

I mean, I'm.

[Zach]

I'm willing to try again.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Really?

[Jeff]

Wow, that was so heartfelt, Zach. I really buy it. I know.

[Brooke]

I wonder if this is like setting her up to get stood up now.

[Jeff]

Because, Zach, if you actually agree to meet up with her, we will pay for the date. Date?

[Zach]

Yeah, man.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, again.

[Jeff]

It just feels like very like you're brushing us off.

[Brooke]

The guys in the room can feel something's weird.

[Alexis]

I don't expect big reactions from men anymore.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Zach, be honest. Doesn't sound like you're actually going to call her, are you?

[Zach]

Yeah, probably not.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Jeff]

I mean, look, now they're both ghosting each other.

[Brooke]

Oh, they're perfect for each other.

[Jeffrey]

It's just him twice.

[Jeff]

Two ghosts make a right.

[Jeffrey]

That's not it.

[Jeff]

I think it is. Zach and Jill. That's how the fairy tale ends.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeff]

I swear, sometimes you can just tell when somebody isn't fully into it and they're just saying yes to go along with peer pressure.

[Jeffrey]

Sure, I wanted him to be into it.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I know. But there was something in his voice. I was like, yeah, yeah, sure.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, he was still the hottest guy in the bar. Maybe that's why he doesn't care. He has options.

[Brooke]

I didn't think of that, bro.

[Jeff]

But if someone's not into it, you don't want to go along with it.

[Jeffrey]

That's true.

[Jeff]

Honey, will you marry me? Fine. The deep breath. No, the great thing about it is both of them were actually, actually honest with us in the end. She admitted that she calls ahead to bars to scope cute guys out. He admits he'll say yes to dates when he doesn't really care to actually meet up with him.

[Alexis]

I just have so many questions for the bartender. Does she tell him her type? Does she give photos I need to know more about?

[Jeff]

Does she get out of it?

[Brooke]

She get tipped more?

[Jeffrey]

Well, it's a guy. It was a guy bartender, but still.

[Brooke]

Is he making money?

[Alexis]

So many questions.

[Jeffrey]

He just gets somebody else to come to the bar and that's better for him. Bars are always looking for more women.

[Jeff]

Always. All the bartenders out there, make sure you text in to 78592 when you have cute guys in there. So Alexis knows where to be and when to go.

[Brooke]

Even if it's 9am yeah, she'll be there.

[Alexis]

Clarify what cute means to you.

[Jeff]

That's also true. If you need help with your dating life, email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back. And go check out all of our second dates. Up where our podcasts are at.

[Jeffrey]

BrookeandJeffrey, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeff]

Hey, kids. Today we're all going to learn the difference between a share and an overshare. Okay, so I'm gonna say something and you tell me if you think it's a share or an overshare. Okay, so I started doing yoga last week and my body feels great.

[Jeffrey]

Yay. That's a share.

[Brooke]

That's a share.

[Jeff]

That's right. That's a share. Good job, everyone. Alright, now how about this? Now that I'm in yoga, I am so flexible I can clean out my ear using my pinky toe. That would be.

[Jeffrey]

That's a. No, that's. I still like it as a share.

[Jeff]

But that's an overshare. We don't cheer over shares. We don't want to do that.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Jeff]

Now.

[Brooke]

Okay, don't hit that.

[Jeff]

If only our listener had had that lesson before she texted a guy after their date, we wouldn't even be in this position. But we're gonna hear about the text text. That probably said a little bit too much in your second date update. Right after this second date update. You know, researchers say what you text a person after a good first date.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Can actually be more important than the date itself.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah.

[Alexis]

I mean, you do look forward to it.

[Jeffrey]

That is not helpful for people who really overthink that text, Jeff.

[Jeff]

I'm just saying, like, for example, if you were to text, hey, I had a great time with you tonight.

[Brooke]

That's always good.

[Jeff]

Also, I accidentally took your fork from the dinner for a DNA test.

[Brooke]

Wait, no, that's not good.

[Jeff]

It might not go over quite so well too soon.

[Jeffrey]

You just leave it as I took your fork and you leave the DNA test on.

[Brooke]

You just say, I had a great night.

[Jeff]

Just try not to overthink it. That's all I'm saying. Because one of our listeners, Carly, says she had a text exchange with a guy after they went out.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

And it could be the reason she's not getting call back.

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Jeff]

Now, we're gonna to get to that and talk about the text in a little bit. But first, Carly, welcome to the show.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Hey, everybody. How's it going?

[Jeffrey]

But first, Carly, we want to hear the good part.

[Jeff]

Yeah. And I don't ask this a lot, but how important is it for you, Carly, to get a second date here with this guy? Is it a, like, a lot, like, yay, nay or hey, neighbor type of situation?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, neighbor.

[Jeff]

Yeah, that's the.

[Jeffrey]

Is that a positive?

[Jeff]

Is it a yay nay or hey, neighbor, where are you on the important scale?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

No, no, it's a yay, obviously.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Why would you not do one through ten?

[Jeff]

No, that's not as fun as yay, nay. Hey, neighbor. We only do fun stuff on our show. Okay, so this. This guy is a yay. Tell us about him and how you two met.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

His name is Blaine, and I was at topgolf with some friends over there for a friend's birthday party.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's great. And a great place to meet people.

[Alexis]

Yeah, that's a bad form. I never want someone to see me there.

[Brooke]

No. But even then, I'm sure Someone would be, like, trying to help you.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you love to show you. I don't want that. Exactly. We reach around and just show you how to do it.

[Jeff]

Is that what Blaine did for you?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

So, like, he was there with a group of guys, and he were in, like, the next Stallover. So we were just talking when it wasn't our turn, and, like, we hit it off.

[Jeffrey]

Cute.

[Jeff]

I hit it off.

[Jeffrey]

That's not.

[Blaine]

Well done, Carly.

[Brooke]

The iron me.

[Alexis]

I want to hear about.

[Jeff]

I knew you would, Brian.

[Brooke]

You got a fun. Okay, we're not.

[Jeffrey]

I would.

[Jeff]

There.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know.

[Jeff]

Sorry about that.

[Brooke]

Oh, I missed it. He said what?

[Jeff]

Yeah, I already said that joke. But that's okay, Carly. Keep going. So you guys hit it off.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

So, like, how. Yeah, how? He asked me out. I thought it was kind of cute because he gave me his number on a golf ball. Like, you wrote it on there with a Sharpie.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's cool.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, actually, is it bad that I'm already thinking if you got married, it would have to all be golf theme now?

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeff]

Bro, this guy isn't even calling her back yet. Let's not start making the wedding plans and choosing the plates and everything. That's true. Okay, so that sounds really nice. Did you guys end up hanging out?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yes. We said we were gonna hang out next Friday, so we kind of planned that even before we left. But then we were texting, and I was like, I wanted to see him sooner, so I moved it up to Tuesday.

[Alexis]

Also, don't waste a Friday night. That's a good call.

[Jeffrey]

It's a whole Chapel Roan saga.

[Alexis]

I'm just saying, don't waste a weekend night on a guy.

[Jeff]

Somebody's jaded over there. All right. Okay, so you moved it up to Tuesday. How did that go?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, it was a really good date. I got to know a lot about him, like, where he grew up and, like, what's important in his life. And, you know, he's into sports and animals. I love animals.

[Blaine]

So.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so, wait, I'm sorry. Were you guys just at dinner? Is that what you did on Tuesday?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah. Like, dinner, drinks.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, cool.

[Jeff]

Way to downplay it, Brooke.

[Jeffrey]

No, I'm just trying to set the scene. I don't.

[Jeff]

That's all you did. You just did dinner.

[Zach]

Okay.

[Jeff]

How'd you feel after that hangout?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

I mean, I felt great. Like, he seems like a really great, caring guy, and we did end up kissing.

[Jeffrey]

Ooh. How was the kiss?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Oh, it was really good.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, look at. She's smiling. She's Saying it.

[Jeff]

That's great. You did say. The one thing that you're worried about that could have stopped you from hanging out again was your text message exchange afterwards. Can you get into that or just read it?

[Alexis]

Well, it's sassy today.

[Brooke]

Just read it.

[Jeffrey]

I don't want to hear it.

[Jeff]

I don't know how long it is. Just give us the vibe, I think.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, I mean, you know, like, sometimes when, like, your friends will ask you out to some expensive place, and you're just not in a place to do that. So I just wanted to be honest and let him know where I was at. So I did tell him that I was a little short on my rent this month.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, how did you jump from that was a fun night to a short on rent?

[Alexis]

Maybe we do need the text brand.

[Brooke]

I thought you were just gonna say, hey, our next date, let's not do topgolf. Maybe something a little lighter. You know, Starbucks.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, didn't he pay for dinner?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, he paid for dinner.

[Jeff]

Okay. She's just sharing. I think she's trying to, like, be honest and be like, I'm in a.

[Jeffrey]

Vulnerable place to go. I totally get that. I'm just curious how you brought it up, like. Cause it seems so out of the blue.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, I mean, we were just, like, talking about the date, and then we were talking about, like, well, what's your week like? And what are you doing? And I was just feeling a little stressed because of this. And so, like, it was just sharing, like, general stuff.

[Jeff]

Well, that sounds normal to me. Like, don't you when you were dating Brooke, talk about paying rent with all the guys that you hung out with, like, when's your rent due? This one. Mine's due.

[Brooke]

Well, they were homeless.

[Jeffrey]

I think they all, like. I think it's good to be vulnerable with people. But I'm wondering if he read it as basically an ask for money.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, that's how I read it.

[Jeff]

How did he react to that?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

He was, like, really sweet. And he. He did send me a little bit of money. I mean, like, really, like, that feels like he's an amazing guy. Who cares? I mean, we've been on one date. I wasn't expecting him to do anything.

[Jeffrey]

Really? He sent you money?

[Jeff]

Wow. Alexis, are you taking notes over there?

[Jeffrey]

He sent you money and then stopped talking to you? Because that's kind of strange.

[Jeff]

Yeah. What happened after that?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, and then we were supposed to go out again, and now he's just not responding.

[Jeffrey]

Huh.

[Brooke]

Huh.

[Jeff]

Interesting.

[Jeffrey]

Do you think he regrets the money he sent like, maybe sent it when he was feeling bad. And then after he thought about. He's like, ah, man, that's kind of a weird.

[Alexis]

That was his money for the date, and then he ran out.

[Brooke]

I bought a nice gift for a girl, and you spent a couple hundred bucks. And then they kind of insinuate they want another, and you realize, all right, this may be the base of the whole relationship. I'm gonna back out right now.

[Jeff]

An exchange of money or goods can change the vibe between two people.

[Jeffrey]

You would know, Jeff.

[Jeff]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Yeah. I am very cold after the exchange. I will tell you that, even though I'm satisfied in the moment. Anyway, just leave. Let's just not get into this anymore. We need to call Blaine and figure out where his head is at. That's the most important. We're gonna come back and do that with your second date update right after this second date update. We're in the middle of a second date update with one of our listeners, Carly. Am I saying that right?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Carly?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Do you want to emphasize the why more? Carly? Carly.

[Brooke]

Exotic.

[Jeff]

It could be. Look at the traditional pronunciation of Carly. We're all still recovering from some of the information that we learned about her date with Blaine.

[Jeffrey]

She shared a lot.

[Jeff]

She did all the highlights real quick. They had a great meetup at Topgolf. It's where they met. Had a great get to know you date sesh, followed by kind of an awkward text exchange that involved him sending our listener Carly money because she admitted she was short on rent, which is.

[Jeffrey]

Really kind of him.

[Jeff]

It is, but it's does change the vibe. I mean, me just saying it.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it does.

[Jeff]

It feels awkward to say they exchanged money afterwards, but he did send her some, and then after that, did not follow through with their plans for another date.

[Brooke]

I have a question. I usually don't pipe up this early, but was it a loan? Like, was this something you're supposed to pay you back, or he just gave you the money expecting nothing?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, he didn't say it was a loan. He just.

[Brooke]

It's not if he's not calling you back.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

He's the worst loan shark ever, mind. I mean, maybe it's just because she didn't send him a formal thank you.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I feel like.

[Jeff]

Carl, you must have said thank you, right?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[Jeff]

Okay, so what's running through your head then? What's going through your mind before we reach out to him?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

I don't know. I mean, like, it might have made it weird, but I really, like, I. I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you don't know. But you also made your rent, right? So that's good news.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, but I really like him, so, I mean, like, I'll just be really bummed if that's the reason, you know?

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

I'm gonna tell you, if a guy asked me to help pay his rent, I probably wouldn't call him back.

[Alexis]

She didn't ask.

[Jeff]

Husband Michael, do not ask Brooke to chip in towards the ring. This is on you this time around. All right, bud.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Jeff]

Let's just reach out. We'll see if Blaine picks up, and hopefully he has an explanation for us. But here we go.

[Zach]

Hello?

[Jeff]

Hey, is this Blaine?

[Blaine]

Yeah, this is Blaine.

[Jeff]

Hey, man, what's up? It's Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, just friendly, just on a first name basis. No Jeff.

[Jeff]

I thought he would know. No, no. Okay.

[Alexis]

When has anybody ever known him? Yeah, no offense.

[Jeff]

Thanks a lot.

[Blaine]

I'm sorry, who are you guys?

[Jeff]

Yeah, I'll explain. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Jeffrey]

Welcome to the show.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Blaine]

Oh, great.

[Jeff]

It's a good thing.

[Brooke]

Should be.

[Jeff]

We're calling you for a really fun, exciting reason, because we're doing this segment called Second Date Update, and we got an email from one of our listeners named Carly who says she's very disappointed that you two aren't seeing each other and hanging out again.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she really liked you.

[Blaine]

Yeah.

[Zach]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Does that make you. Does that make you curious? You have.

[Blaine]

No, not really. I mean, she's cute, she's fun. I just thought interested in seeing her again. I mean, what else do you want me to tell you?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I get it. Cute and fun. Yeah, right?

[Jeff]

There's a million of those out there. But look, it would be helpful if we get a little bit of information for. Maybe there's more reasoning why. I don't know if it's too much to delve into this, but I did hear that the two of you guys kissed at the end of your date.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Jeff]

And usually when that happens and the lady says she wants to go out again, and that's a pretty exciting thing for a guy.

[Brooke]

Only anger kisses come from Brooke.

[Blaine]

Yeah, we had a nice kiss at the end of the date.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, can you give us something here to tell her? Like.

[Blaine]

Well, okay, after our date, we started texting each other. She said, thanks, had a good time, and then we started making plans and she mentioned that she was gonna be short on rent next month.

[Jeff]

Oh. Oh, whoa. That's new information to us.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Wait, we're gonna say that I Don't know.

[Alexis]

O chance. You sent her money?

[Blaine]

Yeah, so I actually did. Wow.

[Jeffrey]

I guess we're all acting surprised now.

[Jeff]

Dude, what a generous move of you. How much?

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

So, wait, I have a question. Why did you send her money?

[Blaine]

I felt bad. I mean, like, I've been short, too, and I just felt like I could help her out. I'm in a decent spot, all right? I asked her what her Venmo was, and I kicked her $200.

[Zach]

Damn. Right away.

[Jeff]

Damn. She mentioned that you were, like, a really good, caring guy. So. So that's clearly coming through.

[Jeffrey]

And when you're describing it, too, like, you're not shaming her. You're not making her feel bad, like.

[Jeff]

Yeah, right. Did that make it weird, though, to give her the $200?

[Blaine]

Not exactly. I mean, what was weird is that she was like. She was very appreciative. She was like, thank you. Thank you.

[Jeff]

You know?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Blaine]

But then she says, I'm still 800 short.

[Brooke]

Oh, she needed a grand.

[Jeff]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Wait. Okay.

[Brooke]

But good luck with that. Like, maybe.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe she was just telling you that so that.

[Jeff]

So that you could run her finances.

[Alexis]

Yeah, like, before, how? She already said she couldn't pay rent. I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

There's a reason.

[Brooke]

She should follow up with that.

[Jeff]

Yeah. What was going on?

[Alexis]

She shouldn't have brought it up in the first.

[Jeff]

What was going on with your. In your mind?

[Blaine]

There's no way I'm giving a thousand dollars to a chick I just met, you know? And I'm thinking about, like, that's just a bad feeling, you know? It's a whole bad vibe.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. And that's really short on rent. Yeah.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Blaine]

I started thinking, like, does she do this to other guys?

[Jeffrey]

It definitely doesn't feel like she's a scam artist or anything when we talk.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Most girls don't at first, Brooke.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, is that how it works?

[Alexis]

I feel like it's pretty obvious.

[Blaine]

Whatever her situation is, it's just not something I want to be involved with.

[Jeff]

I think before you make any final decisions on that, I feel like maybe you need to hear from Carly herself, because she has been listening on the other line wanting to talk to you on the phone. Yeah, she's waiting for the other $800.

[Jeffrey]

So she didn't call for that?

[Jeff]

No, I'm kidding. We didn't even know about the $800 deficit. So just let Carly talk to you here. Carl, are you there?

[Jeffrey]

Hey.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Yeah, I'm here. I mean, you're acting like it's a big Deal? To ask a question. Like, I was, you know, just informing. Like, I just told him I was still short.

[Brooke]

Are you putting it out as a vibe? Like, as an insinuation?

[Blaine]

Like, why else would you tell me that after I just gave you $200? You know, like, why?

[Zach]

Why?

[Blaine]

Why else would you share that information? And what's the. What's this thing about, like, now I'm gonna have to go to work?

[Jeff]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Is that what you said, Carly, you're not working?

[Blaine]

She actually said to me, I still got the text. I can read it to you.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's what I wanted in the very beginning.

[Jeff]

Please help us.

[Jeffrey]

That's what I asked her to do.

[Jeff]

Yeah? What did she say?

[Blaine]

Well, no, it says right here. She's like, look, I need $800 more from you or I'm gonna have to go to work.

[Jeff]

Oh, okay.

[Alexis]

That's way different.

[Jeffrey]

Wow, Carly, I thought you were trying to be vulnerable with this guy, know. Yeah.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Who wants to go to work? I mean, like, nobody does. I don't want to.

[Jeffrey]

That is crazy.

[Blaine]

This makes me question everything. Like, how did she even get that top golf? You know, did she pay for it or somebody else pay for it?

[Jeff]

You know, you don't have to pay for topgolf.

[Jeffrey]

What? Yes, you do.

[Jeff]

If you're at a birthday party, you don't.

[Jeffrey]

Jeff, everyone chips in for birthday parties except for you. It's the same thing when we go to any group thing. And I have to say, Jeff, you have to pay.

[Jeff]

If you leave before they bring the bill, there's nothing they can do. Oh, my God. I'm just saying, just like, everything's free.

[Brooke]

If you don't pay.

[Jeffrey]

Do not back this up, Carly. This is not good for you.

[Alexis]

I just believe you want rent. Go on, like, a sugar daddy site, not a normal dating site.

[Brooke]

Yeah, you don't got to trick people.

[Jeff]

You can just be open about it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I mean, or just get a job. Why is someone saying that sucks? It's just the universal rule in life.

[Jeff]

Why are you being mean? She went to work. She got the money, she paid her rent.

[Jeffrey]

She said till next month.

[Jeff]

The person that we really need to focus on here is Blaine. I bet he feels horrible for not coming through for Carly in her time of need and making her work and dishing out the $800.

[Brooke]

Right, Blaine, man, what a jerk.

[Blaine]

Yeah, I. I see. I feel so horrible.

[Jeff]

Okay, yeah, we wanted to hear because.

[Blaine]

No, I. I'm not responsible for somebody. Oh, man.

[Jeff]

Well, here's what you won't have to Be responsible for paying for your next date with Carly because we will cover that bill for you.

[Jeffrey]

Is that why you called us in the beginning, Carly? Because we were going to cover the check?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

No.

[Jeff]

Oh, actually, wait. That made me think of something. Carly, did you move up the date a few days earlier so you could ask him for your rent before it was due?

[Jeffrey]

Because they were supposed to go out on Friday?

[Jeff]

Is that why you changed the date?

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

That it's a coincidence?

[Jeff]

Come on. No.

[Brooke]

Oh, no way.

[Jeffrey]

Tuesday is way too specific to be a coincidence.

[Jeff]

31St of the month.

[Brooke]

Weird.

[Jeff]

Carly, I am equally parts disappointed and impressed by you.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

Okay, you guys are reading way too much into this. Like, can we just get on with the gift card thing?

[Jeff]

Okay, joke's on you, Carly. Nobody here reads. But let's. Let's do what you said. Let's ask Blaine. Would you like to go out with Carly one more time?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Our dime.

[Blaine]

I'm not feeling it. No, I mean, come on. Next thing I know, she's probably going to be trying to sell me some bitcoin or something.

[Jeff]

Carly, do you have some available though? Because now's the time. It sounds like.

[Listener (Jillian or Carly)]

No, I don't do crypto.

[Alexis]

She has standards. She doesn't do any money.

[Jeffrey]

She has no money. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

It's not, Jeff.

[Brooke]

We've all been here dedicating our whole lives.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I didn't know I could do that. I really need to look on to that. Hold on a second. Hey, Brooke, I'm a little short on play money this month. You rent your clothes, so I'm sure you've got some extra cash. Question, question mark? No, Brooke's checking your phone send. Okay. Okay, I'll see how she responds to that. I don't know.

There it is.

[Jeff]

Oh, look at that. She said yes.

[Jeffrey]

No, I didn't. I did. I didn't.

No, I'm going to send her the link and my photo's on there, so.

I'm going to send you a link to my rental clothes.

[Jeff]

No, Brooklyn, no. Oh, God.

[Brooke]

Oh, God.

[Jeff]

Please do not talk to me ever again. Thank you.

[Brooke]

It's going to be tough.

[Jeff]

Bye.
