I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone, most of all his wife Caroline.
Megan
He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me.
Andrea Gunning
How far would he go to cover up what he'd done?
Jeff
The fact that you lied is absolutely horrific and quite frankly I question how many other women are out there that may bring forward allegations in the future.

Brooke
Welcome to the second eight podcast. Today is the day that if you don't act, you will live in regret forever. I mean, it sounds dire, but it's true. Because today's the last day to get your second date update. Merch for a cause. The store is still open right now up until midnight. It will close tonight. So if you want a super cute sweatshirt, T shirt, hoodie, they're very Cali style, very summer. And 100% of proceeds go to Convoy of Hope, which is a great organization. And we got a little something special that we're going to start trying out on Saturdays. We are going to give you not just one, but double the classic.
Jeff
Ooh.
Brooke
You know, we've been hearing from a lot of people that one episode wasn't enough to get through their run or to get their chores done on a Saturday Car ride. Totally.
Jeff
Plus, you can skip through the ads.
Brooke
I absolutely agree with Jose, but if you're our company bosses. We did not say that. Nope. I promise. I promise. Okay. All right, here we go. Double the fun, double the classics. Your second date updates start right now.
Jeff
Being a guy is expensive. You ask one person on a date, suddenly you're dropping over a hundred bucks just to make sure everybody a good time. Yeah, but one of our listeners just figured out a way to get his and his date's entire night completely paid for. Involved. No lying, no cheating, no scheming.
Brooke
Wow.
Jeff
And it somehow still worked.
Brooke
He didn't even.
Jeff
Didn't even plan it, really. It just happened totally on accident. Wow. Mr. Perfect. Will it help our listeners get themselves some free drinks?
Brooke
Yes, please, Jeff.
Jeff
I have a feeling it might. And that's a very dangerous thought. You're gonna hear it in your second date update. Right. This second date update. We've heard of creative ways Alexis gets free drinks when she's at the bar where she claims to be from poison control and is testing the tequila for arsenic. What? I thought you just said hi.
Brooke
No, she wants more arsenic.
Jeff
I'm gonna need three more Prairie Fire shots just to be like, really sure. Oh, and six shots for my friend.
Brooke
You want to pass the inspection?
Jeff
Yeah. We're trying to save the world, but one of our male listeners apparently figured out another to get free drinks for him. And for his date at multiple different spots.
Brooke
Wait, and his date. Sweet.
Jeff
So get ready to take notes here. His name is Nathan. Nathan, welcome to the show.
Nathan
Hey, how's it going?
Brooke
Good. I mean, everybody's super intrigued. They want to hear how you're doing it.
Jeff
What do you inspect? What do you act as? What kind of inspector?
Nathan
It's nothing like that. It's something completely different.
Jeff
Okay. No fake inspections. Well, we'll get to whatever your method is for getting free drinks in a second. First, tell us about the girl that you went out with. What's her name?
Nathan
Oh, her name's Megan. I met her online.
Jeff
Okay.
Brooke
Okay. What'd you like about Megan? Sorry? Your phone just sounds like you're shouting into a megaphone. Yeah.
Nathan
Oh, is that. Sorry. Is that better?
Jeff
Not really, but we're just gonna go with it. Okay, Nathan, tell us how you and Megan got to the point of getting free drinks for each other.
Nathan
Okay, so pretty much me and Megan met up for our first date. She tells me that she just got, like, a promotion at her job, so I was, like, super excited. Oh, we gotta celebrate tonight.
Jeff
Good on her.
Brooke
Yeah, and a great reason to, like, take her out and have something to.
Jeff
Talk about and make her pay for the drinks because she's the one making all the money now. You're rich now.
Nathan
No, I'm not gonna make a girl pay for her drinks. I have a better idea.
Jeff
Oh, okay. What's your idea?
Nathan
We went to a lot of bars, and every bar I'd walk into, I would just yell out, hey, this girl got a promotion. People would just cheers and buy a drink.
Brooke
And then you asked, wait, you said, can you buy a drinks afterwards?
Nathan
No, people would just cheer us and then buy a string.
Jeff
This would work on me like, a big congrats. Congrats.
Brooke
Let's get see.
Jeff
Mindset.
Brooke
Mindset would be like Jeff's, where I'm like, you make more money than me.
Jeff
What bars are you going to where, like, nobody ever gets promotions?
Brooke
It's such a big deal.
Jeff
Oh, really? Three of us got fired.
Brooke
But what's smart about it is it's the truth.
Jeff
Yeah.
Brooke
It's not like you're scamming people, right?
Jeff
Like, you're engaged. Like, a lot of people will do.
Brooke
It's like you're legit, pretending it's your birthday or something.
Jeff
You know, it's pretty cool that that was working for you.
Nathan
Yeah, I mean, definitely was working, but I mean, it got pretty hazy. That's for sure.
Jeff
A lot of free drinks.
Brooke
I think the last Bar was actually. It was perfect.
Nathan
Yeah. I mean, we went to this one street that says, like, a bunch of bars, and I was, like, pretty, like, past the point of buzz, you know? Like, where you're like, dude, I drank too much.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeff
Yeah. Oh, this is like, you're talking 0 to 100 when you went from like, oh, things are good, to, like, waste.
Brooke
Now you start yelling for.
Jeff
Free burritos, tacos, anybody.
Brooke
I don't know, though, if you're, like, wasted, wasted. Like, did you. I mean, did you embarrass yourself?
Marley
I remember.
Nathan
I remember kissing her in the back of the Uber.
Jeff
So, okay, did she reciprocate?
Nathan
I mean, I remember being back at her place, watching some tv.
Jeff
Okay, that's a yes.
Brooke
Wait, you don't know how you went from Uber to her? Okay, I remember ordering Sushi. You what?
Jeff
She ordered what?
Nathan
We ordered sushi. But, yeah, I mean, I woke up the next morning and it was pounding. I was like, I'm not really feeling good.
Brooke
Hold on. Did you wake up at her place or your place?
Nathan
Her place. But then I just took off. Like, I got an Uber and left, but haven't heard back from her since.
Brooke
Wait, you left before you saw her?
Jeff
Were you waking up in bed or just, like, on the couch?
Nathan
I was on the couch. She was in the other room.
Brooke
Okay, wait, was she still there when you left?
Nathan
I think she was. I mean, I didn't really. Look, I was just concerned about getting home to, like, just recover.
Jeff
I mean, yeah, I don't think you really want to, like, have. After a heavy night of drinking and sushi, that's the time to be, like, reconnecting.
Brooke
Dude, you gotta say something. Like, you stayed the night at the girl's house. Like, if a dude just left without saying anything from my house, I would think either, A, he doesn't like me and he's trying to run.
Jeff
That's true.
Brooke
Or B, he's a little weirdo.
Jeff
Yeah.
Nathan
Dude, you guys don't even get it. I was, like, wrecked. I wasted.
Jeff
Yeah, I mean, that wouldn't be a good look the following day to walk.
Brooke
In and if you texted her. I think it's okay.
Jeff
So. Well, yeah. What's happened since then? Since you left her apartment, stayed in contact?
Nathan
Nothing. I got ghosted and I, like, just dropped off the face of the earth.
Jeff
You know the good thing about this? She may think the same thing. She may be like, I don't remember a lot. Did I embarrass myself? Like, you guys both may be just playing it cautious.
Brooke
Do you know if she was on the same page with you in terms of drunkenness?
Nathan
Yeah. I mean, she would go ham. We were going drink for jink. You know, like, she's a cool chick. I'd like to see her again. She's really awesome to hang out with.
Jeff
Okay, okay.
Brooke
Maybe she's just not lightweight.
Jeff
Well, who knows what went wrong? Maybe that Uber kiss that you thought was with her was actually with the driver. But we're gonna find out.
Brooke
Nobody was thinking that.
Jeff
Well, some people have lived better life experiences than others. Nobody knows how I've lived my life.
Brooke
Yeah, except your Uber drivers, apparently.
Jeff
There's a reason I have a five star review. It's all I'm.
Nathan
Yeah, let's call her. Come on.
Jeff
Okay, we're gonna do that. We'll reach out to her and get you your second date update right after this.

Brooke
I don't think there was any kind of about it, Jeff.
Jeff
Yeah, extremely hazy first date where he found out that she got promoted and that turned into a celebratory bar crawl down the street. He didn't know it at the time, but Nathan actually came up with kind of a genius idea where every bar they walked into, he announced, hey, this girl just got promoted at work. And immediately they'd get free drinks showered upon Them. Not showered, like on them, but like, gifted to them.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeff
By the way, next time we go to lunch, I'm telling everybody. Yeah, this girl just got a raise.
Brooke
But theirs wasn't a lie. There's no serious.
Jeff
Yeah, I know, but I'm gonna lie and. Okay, let's get you guys free drinks. That was fun for Nathan and Megan for the first time. Two or three bars after that, he doesn't remember a whole lot except that he spent the night at her place on the couch.
Brooke
And I can't believe they ordered drunk sushi. Yeah, I mean, who does that? Why not drunk Nachos. Interesting move. French fries.
Jeff
It's an intoxicated choice for sure. Nathan, clearly you had a lot of fun that night, but why is it so important that you get in contact with Megan again? Because maybe this was supposed to be just like a one night crazy thing.
Brooke
Did you hear she's got money now. She's a sugar mama.
Jeff
Yeah. Okay, we're upper management now. Is that it, Nathan?
Nathan
Oh, no, no, no. I just. I thought she was just really cool to hang out with. I don't really need a lot of cool people, you know?
Jeff
Okay, that's kind of insulting. Anybody who knows him. By the way, don't be offended by that. Maybe not. A lot of his friends get promoted so he doesn't know.
Brooke
I think that's cool. I think that's a really sweet sentiment, which, you know, it's hard to be sweet and romantic after a very drunken evening.
Jeff
So, yeah, you were drunk. And maybe Megan can help fill in some of the blanks that you have in the night so we can figure out what really happened. More blanks than he does.
Brooke
It's gonna be shocking to me that she doesn't share something embarrassing that you did. Oh, yeah. I mean, you're drunk. You don't remember.
Jeff
What if she did? Somebody did something. Something happened and we need to find out. So let's dial her. Here we go. Hopefully she picks up.
Marley
Hello?
Jeff
Hey, is this Megan?
Marley
Is this she?
Jeff
Is this. Hey, Megan. My name is Jeff from a radio show you might be familiar with called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Brooke
We just called. Say congratulations. Right, Jeff?
Jeff
Yeah.
Brooke
On the big promotion.
Jeff
Heard you got promoted at your job.
Marley
I'm so sorry. I'm a little confused. Sorry. Where are you calling from?
Jeff
We're a radio show, okay? It's called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. And we sometimes reach out to people when we hear they got job promotions. Sometimes we also reach out when we hear they went on a really Great date with somebody. Yeah, you're kind of checking multiple boxes here.
Brooke
Celebrating the job promotion.
Jeff
Yeah. You fell into.
Marley
Sorry, I'm a little confused.
Jeff
Simplify this for you. We heard that you went out on a date with one of our listeners named Nathan.
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Marley
Are you serious? Are you guys, like, know him or something?
Jeff
Well, he listens to us. Nathan is actually the one who told us about your promotion and the way you guys celebrated that night. Yeah.
Marley
Oh, okay. Well, what did he tell you? I'm curious. Sorry.
Brooke
It's only good things that you sound so nervous.
Marley
Yeah, I'm shaking. I'm very angry.
Jeff
We don't know all the details, but we know there was a bar crawl that had a lot of free drinks, ended up at your place.
Brooke
But he doesn't remember a lot.
Marley
Oh, he doesn't remember. Yeah. Okay, I'm not calling him back because he ate my goldfish. My pet.
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Jeff
Wait, actual fish, not a bag of fish.
Brooke
What did you just say?
Marley
My actual winning fish. Cleo. Gone.
Brooke
I thought you guys had. He said you had sushi.
Marley
No. He told you that we ordered sushi?
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Marley
We had, like a 40 minute conversation about how no sushi places were open and none of them even deliver here. No. Did he tell you that we ordered sushi?
Jeff
Yeah. Yeah, he said. Well, he said his memory was hazy, but that's one of the things he remembered. I'm sorry. There's no way. There's not even. In your drunkest state is a guy doing something that happens.
Brooke
High school kids, I. I coach, eat goldfish, actually, often I've seen this.
Marley
I told him I was going to bed. He crashed on my couch. The next morning, I wake up, he's not there, and I notice that my goldfish tank near the window is completely empty.
Brooke
Wait, hold on.
Jeff
Okay. Is it.
Brooke
He didn't even do it when you were present. He did it after you went to bed.
Marley
I didn't see anything. I didn't hear anything. Obviously, like, fish don't scream, so.
Brooke
Are you sure? Like, I've heard of fish, like, jumping out of tanks before. That happens.
Jeff
It's called evolution.
Marley
I looked everywhere. There was no. There's no Cleo. She's gone.
Brooke
And you don't have a cat. Do you have a cat?
Marley
I have no cat. Cleo's my.
Will
Was.
Marley
Was my only pet.
Brooke
That's really sad.
Jeff
We don't.
Brooke
Okay. So sad.
Jeff
It's. We don't know that that's what actually happened. You said yourself, Megan, you didn't see it.
Brooke
What are the chances I didn't see.
Marley
It and I didn't hear anything. But if there's, like, a strange man in my apartment and he's going on and on about ordering sushi, and I wake up and my fish isn't there, what else am I supposed to do?
Brooke
Imagine telling your friends, my date ate my pet. Oh, man.
Jeff
Okay, let's try as hard as we can not to jump to conclusions here. It's really important. We've heard Megan's side of the story. It's really important that we get Nathan's side, too, because, Megan, he is on the. Here he is on the other line.
Marley
Listen, bring him on.
Jeff
She's not afraid. Nathan, you there?
Nathan
Hey. Hi.
Marley
Yeah, hey, Nathan. How's it going? Are you feeling energized and fueled from eating my fist.
Brooke
Oh, did that happen?
Nathan
I'm like 40% sure that.
Jeff
He doesn't know where.
Brooke
It doesn't matter. 40% is not a good success rate, Nathan. Don't finish that sentence.
Jeff
Terrible percentage.
Nathan
Look, look, I don't know if that happened or not, but, like, if it did happen, it's probably because you got that promotion. We got all those free drinks.
Marley
That is rich. You are blaming me because you got so faced. You ate my fish.
Nathan
Yeah, well, look, I don't really know if I want to take the wraps or something. I don't know if I really did or not. You know, at the end of the day, you could have eaten it.
Marley
Oh, Megan, did you consider that I ate my fish?
Brooke
Yeah.
Marley
Oh, my God.
Jeff
This is a goldfish mail situation.
Brooke
Nathan, why are you jumping to, like, being horrified and really sorry right now?
Jeff
He's confused, I think.
Nathan
Look, I don't know what happened that night, okay? But all I know is that we have a chance. We can do a do over. Sorry about the.
Jeff
Okay.
Marley
Oh, I heard you are off your rocker, man. Are you kidding me?
Jeff
He apologized. Admits maybe mistakes have been.
Brooke
I love that he apologized after he blamed.
Marley
Yeah, love that.
Jeff
Look, I'll tell you this, Megan. We've been doing this segment for a long time, and in the history of it, we've had four people get married after one person ate the other person's pet. You could be lucky number.
Brooke
This is the first time we've had anyone ever eat another person's pet. Jeff.
Jeff
No.
Nathan
That's a cool way to meet.
Jeff
A story for the Thanksgiving dinner table. If there ever was.
Marley
This is officially the worst, worst date I've ever been on.
Jeff
Oh, you can't say that. You can't say that until you go on one more date and give him the chance to lower the bar even farther. That's gonna be a funny wedding suit.
Marley
I think I'm good because the only other thing I. I don't want to be eaten personally.
Jeff
No.
Brooke
He can bring you a new fish.
Jeff
Yeah, I have a better idea, Alexis. Let's send them to a place that actually serves up sushi. For real.
Brooke
I don't think that she's. That's a little traumatic, don't you think?
Jeff
He knows how to do it the right way. Now we'll do a Chloe roll, please.
Brooke
She's not ordering.
Jeff
Cleo. Cleo.
Megan
Thank you.
Jeff
A Cleo. No, just a normal first day without all the heavy drinking. And you guys can give it a redo.
Marley
I'm actually horrified that you suggested that.
Brooke
You know what? Jeff stands on his own on that one. That was all his idea. We do not endorse it.
Jeff
Okay, fine. You're right. Maybe I was a little bit insensitive to Cleo. But I'm gonna step away now. I'm done defending the listeners. Nathan, you have one final chance to win Megan over.
Nathan
Go ahead, Megan, Would you like to hang out again?
Brooke
That's it.
Jeff
To the point.
Marley
No, no, Read the rooms.
Jeff
You should have re apologized first.
Nathan
Look, there's really no proof that I did that. If you want to hang out again.
Brooke
Though, Nathan, what would the proof be? That is even grosser. One scale.
Jeff
All right, Nathan, it's sounding like it's a no.
Brooke
Nathan, I think you need to take a dude a break from drinking.
Nathan
I don't need a break from drinking. She needs a break from getting promoted.
Jeff
Oh, that'll teach you, Megan.
Brooke
It's her success that did her in.
Marley
Yeah, maybe I'll learn my lesson.
Jeff
Finally.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning having.
Jeff
Similar hobbies is a green flag. Yeah, it's good to have common interests. Like you both enjoy the same type of movies.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeff
Or you both have kissed the same teachers. What kind of flag is it if two people bond over this show? No, stop the sound effects.
Brooke
I don't know knives actually come out.
Jeff
No, we love people that bond over us. We're fun. It's fun. But it's ill advised because one of our listeners says he took it as a huge plus that the woman he met online actually knew who we were and listened all the time.
Brooke
Dude, that's awesome.
Jeff
Thank you.
Brooke
Bold.
Jeff
But any true fan would know if someone tells you they actually enjoy this train wreck, they are not to be trusted. Sadly, he learned that the hard way. Because now he can't even get her on the phone. So we're gonna find out what happened between our listener couple in your second date update. Right after this second date update, they say, where there's a Will, there's a way.
Brooke
Oh, that is a good saying.
Jeff
There's a guy named Will on the phone right now, so I'm hoping there's a way we can help him with a second date.
Brooke
Upbeat that is the most literal translation of that quote ever.
Jeff
Or his date's name was way There's a whale. Then there's a way.
Brooke
No, I got it.
Jeff
Was that the laziest intro I've ever done? I don't care.
Brooke
So you have given up?
Jeff
It may have been your best. Yeah, seriously. But Brooke promises to care enough for everybody here.
Brooke
Oh, you know me.
Jeff
So, Will, welcome to the show.
Amy Robach
Hello.
Will
Thanks for having me.
Jeff
All right, I've lost interest again.
Brooke
So wait, he's on the phone and he needs us?
Jeff
Yeah, okay. No, I'm here. But, Brooke, you can run it. Go ahead.
Brooke
Okay. Well, what's going on? Who'd you go out with? I never said I was smooth. Everybody knows that part of me.
Jeff
Hey, well, tell us about the girl that you went on a date with. What's her name?
Brooke
What I just said.
Jeff
I said. I said it better. Marley. Marley.
Will
Marley. We met on a dating app. We matched.
Brooke
Okay. What did you like about her?
Will
Well, you know, I. I liked what I saw.
Jeff
Nice. Pretty. Well, it's nice that he liked that he saw not what he smelled. So just.
Brooke
When you put it that way, it sounds like you had Carlos.
Will
I wanted to take it for a test drive.
Brooke
You're not that type of guy. Come on.
Jeff
No, no, really. What did you like about her?
Will
No, I. I find collarbones very attractive. And in one of her photos, a low cut dress and really doing it for me.
Brooke
Are you sure they're real and not implant collarbones?
Will
You know what? I've never heard of implant collar bones, but no, these look real.
Jeff
Well, it is a trend. Brooke has been looking into getting one for herself, but.
Brooke
Sounds like the job she got was good, though. He can't notice.
Jeff
Yeah. All right, so she's got a good collarbone on her. Very aerodynamic. I know what you look.
Brooke
I know. It's kind of bird like anything else.
Will
You know, I don't really have a type, but lately I've been attracted to redheads, and she's. Redhead.
Brooke
Oh, redheads have the nicest hair. Yeah, but. But they also can't go out in the sun for fear of burning or being allergic to something.
Jeff
Wasn't a beach date, I'll tell you that much. A redhead with a nice collarbone. So picturing, like, Lindsay Lohan, Carol Burnett type here. Okay, now that we know kind of what she looks like, tell us about what you and Marley did.
Will
So I decided to go to a sporting event. I.
Brooke
Okay, Was that something you guys had in common? Like, was that a common interest?
Will
Yeah, I mean, she's pretty outdoorsy and sporty. So we talked about it, and I said, let's go watch some football, and at the very least, we'll buy some overpriced food and some overpriced beer.
Brooke
You actually took her to a game? Game? Not just, like, a sports bar.
Will
Well, I tried to take her to a game game, but.
Jeff
What do you mean? What does that mean?
Will
We didn't end up going.
Brooke
Why?
Will
I triple confirmed with her because we got good seats. Not the nosebleeds.
Jeff
Yeah, expensive.
Brooke
Dude, that's dropping some money on a first date.
Will
Yeah, you know, go make her go home. But I was like, I'm gonna make sure she's definitely coming. And she said, I'm definitely coming. I was like, great. And then about 30 minutes before we're supposed to meet up, I get a text from her saying, hey, sorry, I don't think I can go.
Jeff
No, no.
Brooke
Oh, What?
Jeff
In only 30 minutes to find her replace?
Brooke
Dude, I'm sorry. I'd be mad.
Jeff
Yeah, me, too. Did she give a reason why?
Will
No, I. I followed up. I said, what do you mean, you can't. Like, is everything okay?
Brooke
She couldn't even lie that a grandmother died or something. Seriously. And, like, pity offer to pay for your ticket? You know, that's a good thing.
Jeff
I didn't even think of it. Alexis wouldn't actually pay for the ticket.
Brooke
I wouldn't send you the money, but I'd offer.
Jeff
Right?
Brooke
Did she do that? Did she offer to pay for the ticket?
Will
She didn't text me back. I ended up just sitting at the game by myself.
Jeff
So rude.
Brooke
You didn't.
Jeff
This chick back. She doesn't deserve your time. How good is that collarbone guy?
Brooke
Why do you want to talk to her? I mean, I want to know why she didn't go. Is that why you just want to figure it out?
Will
I mean, I want to know, but maybe there was something crazy that happened and she didn't feel comfortable telling. Because sometimes, you know, it's like you wait too long, and then it's like, how do I even explain this?
Jeff
She's like, this is embarrassing. I'm a season ticket holder. Oh, she's a season ticket.
Brooke
I better see she doesn't like the team. I don't know.
Jeff
Oh, I didn't think of that. Well, I mean, Alexis, would you say no if you hated the team?
Brooke
No free football. I'm a bandwagon fan. I'm a daring person. I'll put on any jersey and cheer for anyone.
Jeff
I mean, it's free drinks, free food, basically.
Brooke
Did she apologize?
Will
She has not replied. I've texted her, I think four times since then. One of which being like, hey, maybe football wasn't it. You want to try something else?
Jeff
Oh, she's ghosting you on purpose, bro.
Brooke
Wow.
Will
Yeah, well, funny story. One of our commonalities is that we bonded over both liking your show. Know, like we. Oh, she oftentimes listen to Brooke and Jeffrey, so I was like, oh, this is funny.
Jeff
Oh, yes. Maybe it's a good thing that she's not calling you back then.
Brooke
When we call her, she's gonna know. She's gonna know. How this gonna know that you're on the phone?
Jeff
Unless we disguise our voices. I can do many impressions. Who else can?
Brooke
We did.
Jeff
We did a British accent one time and I think it went off swimmingly. What if we're Australian today, but it's not into it? It's really up to Will.
Will
I mean, I would love to hear your impressions.
Brooke
I don't know if you really want your fan. He's lost all his brain cells.
Jeff
You just want us to look like idiots. Actually, if I think about it, she might be more willing to talk to us if she's a fan and knows who we are. So maybe she'll get to the bottom of it, you know, or she won't pick up. I mean, we've recorded a bunch of people hanging up on us, but we haven't aired those ones recently. So we can do a compilation of hang ups if it doesn't work out.
Brooke
We only. We only air those and people stop answering.
Jeff
Whatever happens, something's going to happen. It's going to be some high quality radio when we come back. And call Marley to do your second date update right after this.

Amy Robach
Amy Robach and TJ Holmes here, Diddy's former protege, television personality, platinum selling artist Danity King alum Aubrey o' Day joins us to provide a unique perspective on the trial that has captivated the attention of the nation.
J
Aubrey Oday is sitting next to us. Here you are. As we sit here right up the street from where the trial is to taking place, some people saw that you were going to be in New York and they immediately started jumping to conclusions. So can you clear that up? First of all, are you here to testify in the Diddy trial? Aubrey will offer her opinions and expertise based on her firsthand knowledge from her days on making the band as she emerged as the breakout star. The truth of the situation would be opposite of the glitz and glamour.
Andrea Gunning
It wasn't all bad, but I don't know that any of the good was real. I went through things there.
Amy Robach
Listen to Amy and TJ presents Aubrey O' Day covering the Diddy trial on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Jeff
Second date update. If you're just joining us for the second date update, we've got Will on the phone who was supposed to go out with a girl named Marley. And I know what you're thinking, Brooke, why am I playing this music music instead of the theme song to the movie Marley and Me?
Brooke
Because that's about a dog and it's the saddest movie ever.
Jeff
I know, I thought about it. True. The end is pretty depressing and we're hoping for a happier outcome here today.
Brooke
So you're gonna go, I'll be missing you, Puff Daddy.
Jeff
It's, you know, it's still like she didn't show up to the date, so gotta have a little bit of truth sadness in there.
Brooke
This song has a lot of dead themes to it, too.
Jeff
Well, I bring it up because Jose's dad has a theory of what happened.
Brooke
Oh, she's dead.
Jeff
Oh, yeah, she's probably dead. So that's one theory out there that would explain a lot. But Brooke, what are your thoughts? I was such a joke. My dad would be like, I looked up the highway and it's one of the deadliest highways in America. Most likely, she could be in dead.
Brooke
Okay. I'm hoping she's very well and alive.
Jeff
Yeah, we're just throwing possibilities out There. Look it.
Brooke
That's all we're looking for now. That's the only hope that we want.
Jeff
It's all up from here. Thanks, dad. Okay, so look, now we're on an upswing here. Before we dial Marley, is there anything else that you want to say before we call her Will?
Will
No, I just. I want answers. I want to know what's happening, why she's not getting back to me.
Brooke
Yeah, you are way more chill than I would be. If I would have purchased a football ticket for somebody and then that person didn't show up. There would be no chilling.
Jeff
I mean, imagine even if just your friend.
Brooke
Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest
Not a date.
Jeff
Like your friend backed out there. Yeah. That stadium would be in flames by the time Brooklyn. That's right on fire.
Brooke
Glad you know me.
Jeff
Now we'll see if we can get that money back for you here when we call her.
Nathan
Or.
Jeff
Or at least get her agree to another date. I don't know. Okay, maybe that was a little bit ambitious. I shouldn't have said that.
Brooke
You're not getting your money back.
Jeff
Yeah, no, Brook will pay you, though. So here we go. I'm dialing Marley right now. And remember, she apparently is a fan of the show, so she should know who we are when we call that. Okay, let's see. Dialing it right now.
Marley
Hello?
Jeff
Hey, Marley.
Megan
Yeah. Who's calling?
Jeff
Hey, Marley. We're Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. She's alive.
Megan
Oh, my gosh. Wait, for real?
Brooke
Yeah, we're all here. Welcome to the show. Marley.
Jeff
How you doing?
Megan
I love you guys. Why are you caught? Did I win something? Like, what's going on?
Jeff
Absolutely not.
Brooke
Yeah, we don't have a. We have no marketing budget anymore.
Jeff
Yeah, no, that's the thing of the past. But something we still are doing on the show is a second date update.
Brooke
Hey. What?
Megan
Oh, no.
Jeff
No way.
Brooke
Your moment to shine, Marley.
Jeff
Yeah, you know what that means. You went on a date recently, and somebody like. Well, I guess you didn't go on a date recently.
Brooke
You missed the date, Marley.
Jeff
Yeah.
Megan
Is this really happening? I'm on the radio with you gu.
Brooke
About this man Marley specialty, dude. The guy had a football ticket for you.
Jeff
Yeah, we heard the whole story from Will. And so obviously he's disappointed that you no showed to the game.
Brooke
Well, you gave him a 30 minute heads up. You texted him. 30 minutes, he said before the game.
Jeff
So do you have any explanation?
Megan
Yeah, I mean, jeez, I don't know. Like, okay, what do I say here? Like, I don't know. I guess at the End of the day, I just don't like going out with liars.
Brooke
What?
Jeff
Wait, he's a liar?
Brooke
Why are you saying he's a liar?
Megan
Well, I was excited to spend time with him. Like, it seemed like we really vibed on the app and I was getting ready for the date. It was while I was getting ready, I started doing this thing. Lately that's been really helpful. And actually, I got this idea from listening to your show, which is, oh.
Jeff
No, this can't be good.
Brooke
Why didn't we tell you? You know, sometimes people will repeat what we say, and I'm like, do we? We said that?
Jeff
Yeah. Why would we tell people? What advice did you take from us?
Megan
I think this is a really good idea. You guys suggested using AI to help out with dating. And it's like this thing where you put a Guy's photo into ChatGPT and it calculates their height.
Brooke
Oh, we did talk about that. We talked about that. How that was a trend. You could figure out how tall guys were because the photo would analyze, like, what's in the background and where they're.
Jeff
Oh, that's right. Right. So you. You did that?
Megan
Yeah. So he put in his profile that he's six foot.
Brooke
Okay.
Megan
But Chad GPT Said that he's probably five, seven.
Brooke
Oh, he's a short king.
Jeff
Yeah, he's a short king. Thanks for using the proper terminology, bro. There's nothing wrong with five foot seven. Five foot seven is respectable. No, but she's upset he's lying.
Megan
Yeah, exactly. Like, I'm sure he's listening right now.
Jeff
But, like, don't tell her. Don't tell.
Brooke
Is it because you won't date anyone under 6 foot? Because I know a lot of women have that rule, and it's dumb. It's a dumb rule. You're missing out on short guys.
Megan
No, I'm not superficial like that. Like, I'm 5 7. So we would be the same height. And I'm not, like, against that. But the thing is, like, if he was truthful, I definitely would have gone on the date.
Jeff
Maybe if you're on your knees looking up at him, he's six foot tall. @ least it looks that way. That's not a bro. I've been there. All I'm saying in the height difference, it really appeals. Here's.
Brooke
I think you said it innocently, but don't say that again.
Jeff
Okay. If you're sitting down, sure.
Brooke
That's better.
Jeff
That's what I meant. Okay, you guys are turning me into a pervert over here.
Brooke
Your Words are working against you.
Jeff
All right, anyway, sorry. She was talking. So it's the. It's the lie, potentially.
Megan
I mean, like. Like I said, I'm 5 7, and I say I'm 57 on my profile. Like, why do guys lie?
Jeff
Okay, well, the only way that we can know that is by asking Will. And like you said, he is on the other line. You know, he's there listening to this. Not a surprise. So awkward.
Megan
Yeah.
Jeff
Oh, she's doing the awkward sound effect for us. Wrong segment. Okay, but, Will, it's time to jump in and say hi to Marley.
Will
Yep.
Brooke
Okay. Wait, what's going on?
Jeff
Will, Marley is telling us that she AI fact check your picture and that I know the suggestion came from our show, so I'm sorry if we're busting.
Brooke
You on this somewhere else. Probably. So.
Jeff
It's not right. Can you just tell us, well, are you 5 foot 7 like chat GPT says, or are you 6 foot like you claim in your profile? We're assuming.
Will
Well, I'll tell you what, Chad. GPT is completely off, and I am taller than Marlee, so they're taller.
Jeff
Really?
Megan
Yeah. But are you six foot, or is that an exaggeration?
Will
I'm actually five eight.
Jeff
Okay.
Megan
Chat GPT was more honest than your profile.
Brooke
Come on. To his defense, Marley. If he would have said he was 5 8, would he showed up in your algorithm?
Megan
I don't have a height limit on my filters or anything like that.
Brooke
Okay, but what way would you have swiped if you saw 5 8?
Megan
I don't know. Yeah, so he's cute enough that I would have looked into it. If I just saw the numbers and I wasn't interested, then I would have swiped because of the numbers. But I was drawn in by other parts of his profile for sure.
Brooke
Okay.
Will
Yeah. And then our personality clicked, and then because I said that I was six foot, my foot got in the door, quite literally.
Brooke
That's a bad pun or whatever it is.
Jeff
It worked.
Megan
But you have to understand that I've had, like, issues with men lying in the past, and that's just, like, an instant deal breaker for me. And even now, you're kind of, like, defending being dishonest. I feel like at some point before we met up, you should have, you know, made sure I knew what I was really looking for. I didn't want to look right over your head.
Jeff
Do you feel bad at all, though? That homie watched a whole game by himself, wasted hundreds of dollars, and still wants to go out with you?
Brooke
Do you feel bad? He seems Sincere in his apology.
Jeff
And the good news is we've hashed all this out now, so maybe that allows us to close the door on this kind of ugly chapter of the relations. Open the door to the next positive one. Unless there's something else you've lied about. Want to get it out?
Marley
Yeah.
Brooke
Are you a full catfish? Tell us now.
Jeff
She has not seen you in person yet.
Will
So my pictures are accurate? They're 5, 8 accurate.
Brooke
Give them a chance, Marley. One date won't hurt.
Jeff
Make sure they're accurate in person. Bring a tape measure to the date, and we will pay for the date and the tape measure to me.
Will
I'll send you a photo with me holding a newspaper from today.
Megan
Oh, my God.
Brooke
Wait, you get a newspaper? How old are you?
Jeff
Oh, wait a minute.
Megan
I'll be honest. I'm going to be wary and skeptical, but the fact that you have the confidence to address it on air like this and reach out to me this way is kind of a turn on, I'll be honest.
Jeff
Turned on.
Brooke
Oh, my God, Our show's a turn on.
Jeff
Wow, look at all this positive news. I mean, you don't get your money back, Will, but at least you get another day date to spend more money on her.
Nathan
Hooray.
Will
I get to spend more money on a date.
Jeff
Yeah.
Brooke
Don't we pay? Oh, yeah.
Jeff
Wait, are we buying tickets up to $25. You enjoy. Will.

Podcast Summary: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update Classics: Picture Says It All + Promotion Commotion
Episode Overview In this engaging episode of Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update, hosts Brooke and Jeff delve into two intriguing listener stories about memorable first dates that took unexpected turns. The episode, titled "Second Date Update Classics: Picture Says It All + Promotion Commotion," explores the complexities of dating mishaps, ghosting, and the humorous yet insightful attempts by the hosts to uncover the real reasons behind these romantic hiccups. Notably, the episode is peppered with witty banter, relatable anecdotes, and heartfelt moments, making it both entertaining and insightful for listeners navigating the dating scene.
Section 1: Nathan and Megan’s Hazy First Date
Timestamp: 03:45 – 12:17
Story Introduction The episode kicks off with the first listener story featuring Nathan and Megan. Nathan shares how he ingeniously turned their first date into an unforgettable (and free) experience by announcing Megan’s recent job promotion at every bar they visited. This clever strategy not only earned them free drinks but also set the stage for a night filled with celebration and spontaneity.
Key Highlights:
Nathan's Strategy for Free Drinks: Nathan reveals, “We went to a lot of bars, and every bar I'd walk into, I would just yell out, 'Hey, this girl got a promotion.' People would just cheer and buy a drink.” (05:19)
The Hazy Night: As the night progresses, Nathan admits to losing track, culminating in waking up at Megan’s place with blurred memories of the evening. “I remember kissing her in the back of the Uber.” (07:49)
The Mysterious Disappearance: The next morning, Nathan discovers that Megan’s pet goldfish, Cleo, is missing. This perplexing event sets the tone for the ensuing mystery. “There was no Cleo. She's gone.” (15:43)
Host Commentary: Brooke and Jeff analyze Nathan’s approach, appreciating his creativity but also highlighting potential pitfalls. Jeff humorously suggests, “Being a guy is expensive. You ask one person on a date, suddenly you're dropping over a hundred bucks just to make sure everybody has a good time.” (03:45) They discuss the balance between impressing a date and maintaining authenticity.
Notable Quotes:
Jeff: “I have a feeling it might [help listeners get free drinks]. And that's a very dangerous thought.” (04:18)
Brooke: “If a dude just left without saying anything from my house, I would think either, A, he doesn't like me and he's trying to run.” (08:55)
Mystery Unfolds: Determined to uncover what truly happened, Brooke and Jeff decide to reach out to Megan directly. Their attempts lead to a humorous yet revealing conversation where Megan denies any wrongdoing, leading to the shocking revelation that Nathan might have inadvertently eaten her goldfish. The situation spirals into a comedic chaos, blending humor with the bewildering reality of first-date mishaps.
Impact and Resolution: The story concludes with Megan confronting Nathan about the alleged incident, resulting in an awkward but sincere apology from Nathan. The hosts use this opportunity to highlight the importance of communication and honesty in dating, even when situations become inexplicably bizarre.
Section 2: Will and Marley’s Canceled Football Date
Timestamp: 22:05 – 38:46
Story Introduction The second listener story features Will and Marley. Will recounts his plans to take Marley to a football game for their first date, a gesture he believed would impress her and secure a memorable evening. However, mere minutes before the game, Marley cancels without providing a clear reason, leaving Will puzzled and seeking answers.
Key Highlights:
The Planned Football Date: Will explains, “We matched on a dating app. I decided to take her to a sporting event because she's pretty outdoorsy and sporty.” (22:27)
The Last-Minute Cancellation: Approximately 30 minutes before the game, Marley texts Will saying she can’t make it. “She didn’t give a reason.” (25:14)
Exploring the Why: As the hosts dig deeper, it emerges that Maggie might have discovered discrepancies in Will’s profile, particularly regarding his height. Using AI tools like ChatGPT, Marley verified that Will’s claimed height of six feet was inaccurate, revealing he is actually five feet eight inches tall.
Host Commentary: Brooke and Jeff humorously dissect the situation, emphasizing the importance of honesty in online dating profiles. Jeff quips, “Maybe if you’re on your knees looking up at him, he’s six feet tall.” (35:16) They discuss the impacts of misrepresentation and how it can lead to misunderstandings and missed connections.
Notable Quotes:
Megan: “I think this is a really good idea. You guys suggested using AI to help out with dating.” (33:40)
Jeff: “But the thing is, like, if he was truthful, I definitely would have gone on the date.” (34:39)
The Confrontation: In an attempt to resolve the issue, Brooke and Jeff facilitate a live conversation between Will and Marley on air. During this exchange, Marley confronts Will about the height discrepancy, expressing her frustration over perceived dishonesty. Will maintains that his photos and profile were accurate, leading to a tense yet candid dialogue about trust and transparency in relationships.
Impact and Resolution: The confrontation underscores the significance of honesty in building meaningful connections. Despite the rocky exchange, Marley expresses a begrudging admiration for Will’s confidence in addressing the issue publicly, hinting at the potential for reconciliation.
Key Takeaways:
Honesty is Crucial: Misrepresentation, even seemingly minor details like height, can have significant repercussions on dating prospects.
