That's why Premier Protein shakes are my go to. They have 30 grams of protein, 160 calories, no added sugar, and they taste amazing. So they're a healthy choice you'll actually want to make. It's not just for fitness, it's for getting after life. The 30 grams of protein gives you the fuel you need. It's not just for intense gym sessions, it's just for life. With the wide variety of flavors from cafe latte to cake batter, it never feels boring. There's a flavor for everyone. I personally love the peaches and cream, but maybe you're a root beer floater cinnamon roll kind of person. Premier Protein powers me to say yes to more.

Greenlight.Com iheart well, we're having a Galentine's day in the studio right now. Oh, yeah. I kicked all the boys out for this one.
Jeffrey
That's right.
Brooke
I mean, I forced Alexis to hang out with me in here.
Lindsay
Yeah. I'm having so much fun.
Brooke
I love when you're honest and forthright. Yeah. Welcome to the second day update. We hope you're having a great love day. And if you're not, we hope this makes you feel better because, you know, nothing like remembering why single is often better than trying. It's true.
Lindsay
It's true.
Brooke
Listen and stay for yourself or give this as a gift. Yes, tell your significant other to show just how normal you are.
Jeffrey
Yeah, there it is.
Brooke
And we've got back to back classics that start right now.
Jeffrey
They say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Oh, yeah, and we've got one very angry lady on the phone right now.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
That's really true.
Jeffrey
I know what you're thinking. No, it's not. Brooke calling us from the other room. Brooke, say. Say hi. Just to prove that you're here.
Brooke
Hi, it's me. See?
Jeffrey
She's happy, all right.
Brooke
I usually am.
Jeffrey
No, it's one of our listeners who says she's furious after her date left her in the most embarrassing situation of her life. Oh, and now she wants our help getting not just answers from the guy, but revenge on him.
Brooke
Ooh.
Jeffrey
Oh, my God. We're always down for a little revenge trip. I want a hitman. What are we doing?
Brooke
Well, go you jump.
Bowen Yang
Not going that far.
Jeffrey
Brains all over the place. You're going to hear what went down in your second date update right after this.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning Second date update.
Jeffrey
We got an email from a listener. And I'll just read the subject line, okay, it says, there's a scamming coward on the dating apps, and you need to help me expose him.
Brooke
Juicy.
Jeffrey
And his name is Scotty.
Bowen Yang
Don't.
Lindsay
Come on.
Brooke
Stop it.
Jeffrey
It is not. I'm just kidding. That's. It's an inside joke on the show right now. So we're going to put that aside with the bottle of peach schnapps and everything else that's waiting up in his hotel room. Let's focus on our caller here because she did seem pretty heated in her email. Just on the subject line alone, you could tell. Let's talk to Lindsay. Lindsay, welcome to the show.
Lindsay
Hi.
Brooke
Oh, already coming in hot. Just with that high. I love it.
Jeffrey
Lindsay, you caught a scammer. Yeah.
Brooke
What's going on?
Lindsay
I did, and I want to call him. I want to call him.
Brooke
All right, let's take a deep breath.
Jeffrey
Yeah, I like this energy. We'll get into him. Can we know what's this guy's name?
Lindsay
His name is Alex. And honestly, don't even call him a guy. He's a boy.
Jeffrey
Wow.
Bowen Yang
Like.
Jeffrey
Oh, yeah.
Lindsay
Cowardly little.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Oh.
Brooke
What happened? Okay, Lindsey, we're on the radio.
Jeffrey
Yeah, we gotta watch the language just a little bit, but I appreciate the passion that you have.
Brooke
What happened?
Lindsay
Well, we got dinner, and it was going great. I felt like we were really connecting, having a good time. He seemed more into me than I was into him.
Brooke
Okay.
Lindsay
And towards the end of the meal, he gets up to go to the bathroom and never comes back.
Jeffrey
He stood you up?
Brooke
Oh, no.
Lindsay
We.
Brooke
We have talked to people that have done this or had it done to them.
Jeffrey
Yeah, that's really exc. Stream.
Lindsay
I've heard of this happening online. I never thought this would happen to me, and it was humiliating. I felt like an idiot.
Brooke
Oh, God. How long did you sit there? Did you get the waiter to, like, go check on him or what?
Lindsay
Yeah. Okay, so after, like, 15, 20 minutes, I was like, maybe we can check the bathroom. Is he okay? I actually got worried about him, and he wasn't even there. He was gone.
Jeffrey
Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Okay.
Brooke
I hate to ask, but usually the people who do this aren't enjoying the date. Do you think maybe you've done this before?
Jeffrey
Alex is coming in wrong, saying you did something wrong.
Brooke
The people that call us usually did it have a really good reason.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
She's right.
Jeffrey
I mean, come on. He doesn't like you so much. He left, Right?
Lindsay
Like I said, he seemed more into me, and I was into him. He was so flirty. And funny. And, like, who does this? What kind of garbage piece of crap human. And leaves their date at the end of the date all by herself?
Jeffrey
Yeah, I think it's going bad. You just don't call her back.
Brooke
You have a lot of reason to be upset, but I don't know that he's going to hear you if we're coming in at that level. You know what I mean? Like, what do you want out of this? You want to call him out, and.
Lindsay
Then I want to know what made him do that.
Jeffrey
So you want to know why? Well, it's good that we're gonna talk and not you, because it sounds like you're just gonna yell at us. This is definitely different because most of the people that reach out to us want another date with the person that we're about to call. Lindsay, you have no interest whatsoever.
Lindsay
No, I want you to call him, and then I'm gonna come on the phone and ween him out, okay?
Jeffrey
Oh, okay. I'm here for that.
Brooke
Yeah. I don't know. Like, what if he has a good reason?
Jeffrey
Brooke, there is. There is no good reason a man should ever do that to a woman.
Brooke
We have heard where people have had, like, bathroom emergencies where they can't go back to the table.
Jeffrey
He could have texted her and. And said something to her, like.
Lindsay
Exactly.
Jeffrey
Have you reached out to him since then? Since that happened?
Lindsay
Yes, I've texted him a lot. He had plenty of opportunities to write me back and let me know if something went wrong in the bathroom, which he didn't.
Jeffrey
Well, I'm assuming you called him a bunch of, like, mean names in the text mess.
Lindsay
I mean, I started off nice, and then he didn't answer, so he doesn't deserve me being nice. He doesn't get that. He does not get that.
Brooke
What's interesting, I mean, as soon as we tell this guy who we're calling for, he's gonna hang up on us.
Jeffrey
Why?
Brooke
Because he knows. He knows how mad she is. She's already been texting him.
Jeffrey
Well, he won't know that she's on the line until we surprise her with that.
Brooke
I mean, maybe he wants to out her. Maybe this is his chance, right? If it's something he thinks she did not. Not that I support that.
Jeffrey
Women don't do things wrong in the dating world, Brooke. I've learned this.
Lindsay
So the only done this. I bet he's done this to, like, a hundred women. So he can't get away with it and he has to defend himself or say something.
Jeffrey
Oh, you think he does this like all the time. He gets it can't be just her and walks out. It's nothing to do with.
Lindsay
I bet he does.
Jeffrey
Okay, okay.
Lindsay
Because he was acting so smooth and funny. Flurry. I can read these guys like a book.
Jeffrey
Okay, so the only reason that you reached out to us here is just because the idea of not knowing why he left that night is probably just killing you right now.
Lindsay
And if he's going to humiliate me, I'm going to humiliate him on the radio.
Jeffrey
Okay, we're not just doing this for Lindsay today. We're doing this for women everywhere who have gotten stood up and walked out of in the middle of dinner. Let's get him, ladies. Come on.
Brooke
We don't even know if he's a scammer.
Jeffrey
We are going to be merciless when we come back and do the most brutal second date part two we've ever done. If you're a guy would not answer your phone in the next five minutes. Well, please answer so that we can have something to air. But we're going to do it right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Lindsay
Second date update.
Jeffrey
This is a little tense cuz there's a woman listener of ours on the phone right now who is out for blood.
Brooke
O yes she is. Claws are out cuz in her mind.
Jeffrey
And I do kind of agree with her here, there is no reason for a guy to get up and leave a table at the end of the date, sneak out of the restaurant and stick her with the entire bill.
Brooke
And that's the thing. He ate his dinner. It's not like he left in the middle and like some emergency.
Jeffrey
But that's what.
Brooke
That's a good point, Joe.
Jeffrey
That's what happened to Lindsey. Or I mean, at least I think she got stuck with the bill. What happened with the bill, Lindsay? Did you pay it? Oh yeah, whole thing.
Lindsay
Yeah, so that's another thing. He left me to cover the bill. The waiter saw me sitting there for a half hour and saw how upset he was and he generously covered my bill, which was so nice.
Jeffrey
Oh, nice.
Brooke
Wait.
Jeffrey
Told the manager to take it off the bill, maybe paid for himself.
Brooke
You didn't have to pay.
Lindsay
Yeah, I didn't have to pay. But the humiliation of being left alone there was the worst part of it.
Brooke
Okay, Alexis is humiliated just sitting alone at her desk sometimes.
Jeffrey
She hates being alone.
Brooke
Even if I wasn't stood up, I can't.
Jeffrey
It's shameful. But Brooke, I think we need a game plan so we all don't jump on Alex and, like, get angry.
Brooke
I mean, I think, first of all, we shouldn't accuse him of anything we don't know from his side what happened.
Jeffrey
You liar. All we know is he left. That's a fact. You would say that, wouldn't you? Brooke?
Brooke
There could be a reason. Even if his reason sucks, you want to hear it? That's the whole point of you calling in, right? You want to hear it.
Jeffrey
He better be in the hospital when we call him. And even then, I won't forgive him.
Brooke
And the only way we're going to hear it is if we come in. Not accusatory.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Lindsay
Okay. But, like, we're all on my side, right?
Jeffrey
Yes, well, the girls are. The girls do not seem to be.
Brooke
I mean, right now. Yeah, I haven't heard the other side of the story yet.
Jeffrey
I don't care what the other side of the story is, personally. But you know what? I'm gonna dial Alex and we're gonna be on our best behavior. Hopefully he picks up. Here we go.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Okay.
Lindsay
Let's see what he says.
Jeffrey
Okay. Okay. All right. I kind of like it. Here we go.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Hello?
Jeffrey
Hey, we're looking to speak with Alex.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
This is he.
Jeffrey
Hey, Alex.
Brooke
Hey.
Jeffrey
Hope you're having a good day.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Hello?
Jeffrey
Hello?
Brooke
Sorry, Alex, I'm just laughing at Jeffrey right now.
Jeffrey
Hi.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
I don't pass. Who's Jeffrey?
Jeffrey
That's me. I'm a radio host on the show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Brooke
Hey, Alex.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Wait, what?
Brooke
The whole show's here, man.
Jeffrey
Yeah, you're on the radio right now. We're just hoping to have a nice, calm, pleasant conversation with you today.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
About what?
Jeffrey
A date you went on recently with one of our listeners. Her name is Lindsay. Please don't hang up.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Come on.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
Yeah. You remember Lindsay, huh?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Oh, man.
Jeffrey
Yeah. So we heard from her that you two went out to dinner recently, which.
Brooke
She thought was going great. She really was enjoying her time with you.
Jeffrey
And then there was the bad part of dinner, which happened when you went missing from the restaurant, like.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Yep.
Brooke
Okay, so you're just gonna own that? You're not gonna apologize immediately?
Jeffrey
So you admit that. You admit that happened. You walked out.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
I take full credit for that.
Jeffrey
What credit? There's gotta be.
Brooke
That's like a pride thing when you take credit for something. What do you mean?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Because she probably didn't share with you that I saw her and her little friend before the date.
Brooke
What little friend? What's a little friend?
Jeffrey
Like, we're talking about leprechaun.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
I don't know her little friend's name. Her little girlfriend. They were about a block away from the restaurant. Her and her friend were involved in something else, so they didn't notice me.
Brooke
What do you see them do that's so terrible?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Her friend is like. Seems like she's coaching her for something. So Lindsay says to her friend, my Uber app is not working, can you pay for me? And she like, bats her eyes.
Brooke
And what?
Jeffrey
So her Uber app wasn't working?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
And her friend said, no, just say it a little more believably.
Jeffrey
What? Oh, she's coaching her to act.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Exactly, exactly.
Brooke
So she wouldn't have to pay for an Uber home.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
She was like, my Uber app's not working. Could you pay for me? It was like sociopathic the way she did it.
Lindsay
So you think sociopathic the way I did it?
Jeffrey
Oh, no, there's no way she sells you.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Okay, wait a minute.
Jeffrey
We have to let Alex know that that is Lindsay on the line.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Uh huh. Oh, I would never trust us.
Lindsay
We did not. What I'm hearing, what I'm hearing, Alex, is that you're so. So. Guys aren't supposed to help a girl get home safely. Well, after a date.
Jeffrey
The thing is, Lindsay, you jumped in too soon, so we couldn't get to what Alex was thinking. What was going through your mind, Alex?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
I was thinking, and I feel like I have proof because I witnessed your friend coaching you in getting me to like, pay for your Uber and you playing this like, damsel in distress act just to get free stuff out of me.
Brooke
Do you know what he's talking about?
Lindsay
Lindsey, I was. I was expecting to be able to get help getting home. I just said that. And there's nothing wrong with that. And so your answer to that was to get up and just leave dinner at the end and leave me the bill? Like, Like, I don't know, like an immature loser. What the hell?
Brooke
I mean, if you. Wait, I want to know like, if you heard it before the date even started, why did you do the date?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Because here's the thing. As soon as I heard her planning to do that, I already knew she was going to manipulate me. So I was like, I'm going to.
Lindsay
Be manipulate you, so you. Oh my God. God forbid a guy helps a girl get home. You know, usually people do that.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
But you were practicing over and over again and you two were laughing about it. This is not you asking for help.
Jeffrey
You're gonna like, yeah, we're laughing.
Lindsay
We're girls and we think we're like, I was cute. So what? Do you not laugh with your friends, like, jeez, you made this evil plan in response to leave me and like an idiot in the middle of the restaurant all alone, like, oh, God, you're the son.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
You know what? I ordered the most expensive thing on the menu.
Lindsay
Okay, so this just confirms you are. You are just a little.
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
Yeah, if anything, you guys are both a little bit of manipulators.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I only scam the scammer. I was ready to have a genuine date with her, okay?
Lindsay
Oh, shut up. I was just trying to get home after a few drinks safely, and you decided up on a plan of just, I don't know, someone feel small. You want to make women feel small?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
You are not women. You are one person.
Lindsay
Oh, great. So now I'm not a woman who deserves to be not left and abandoned at a restaurant.
Brooke
Why can't you afford your own Uber?
Jeffrey
Yeah, you're fine. You got.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
You guys are not getting it. She was practicing that her Uber wasn't working. She can totally afford it. She just wants to make a fool out of somebody.
Lindsay
Okay, okay, so Hillary is dead. Thank you.
Brooke
That's not chivalry, Lindsey.
Jeffrey
It is a little bit sus that you're practicing the line to say to, like, be like, can you pay for my broken app?
Brooke
Oh, no, it's more than sus. It's like, you got caught, girl. You got caught scamming him for an Uber ride.
Lindsay
I was not scamming.
Brooke
What do you mean you're not scamming? You're lying. You're lying to get what you need.
Jeffrey
I am just ashamed that Brooke was on Lindsay's side this entire time. This is what happens.
Lindsay
Yeah, like, maybe Brooke cannot be part of this anymore.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. You for taking my side, Lindsay.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
I think Brook sounds like a genuine individual who could totally afford her own Uber ride home.
Jeffrey
Yeah, clearly. Brooke, there's always two sides to every story, and you're on the wrong one every time.
Brooke
I've never heard anyone in that room say that before. That there's two sides. I didn't hear that at all.
Bowen Yang
So weird.
Jeffrey
Look, I mean, at this point, we're running out of time, so I just have to ask. We would.
Brooke
I know. There could be a lot of hot.
Jeffrey
Passion there, because we always offer to send you guys out on another date, a date that we would pay for if you. You're both willing to agree to it.
Brooke
Just don't talk.
Lindsay
No, I can find a man who doesn't mind getting me home after a few drinks?
Jeffrey
I don't mind getting you home after a few drinks. That's why I'm offering to pay.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
I mean, Lindsay, I'm actually kind of down at this point.
Jeffrey
Don't fall for it, Lindsay. He's luring you in for another trap. You're in a paper.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
What could I possibly weave this time, dude?
Brooke
And in the end, Alex, I don't know if you know this, but she never even paid for the dinner.
Jeffrey
Yeah, I don't feel too bad.
Lindsay
Yeah. So you the waiter.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Oh, my God. You know what? That makes me even happier that this is all happening on the radio.
Jeffrey
What's happening on the radio?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
That she is getting completely exposed for being the liar manipulator that she is.
Lindsay
Oh, my God. This is funny now, Alex. Oh, my God. Stop it. You can't spin this around.
Jeffrey
See, she thinks she's in the right now.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Takes one to no one, babe.
Jeffrey
All right. I think we've gotten pretty far in understanding what happens. We finally reached common ground. They're in the right.
Brooke
Thank God. You are such a champion of women, Jeffrey.
Jeffrey
That's right. I fixed all the problems. You're welcome.
Brooke
I knew you would.
Lindsay
Brooke and Jeffrey, in the morning.

That's why premier protein shakes are my go to. They have 30 grams of protein, 160 calories, no added sugar, and they taste amazing. So they're a healthy choice you'll actually want to make.

Find your favorite flavor@premierprotein.com that's P R E M I E R protein dot com. Or at Amazon, Walmart and other major retailers.
Jeffrey
I feel like it's pretty clear. And maybe this is just my observation, but I feel like it's a super rare occurrence for Lindsay to held accountable for anything she's ever done wrong. Yeah, it sounds like it.
Brooke
Yeah, she just bats her eyes and says, what? Me?
Jeffrey
Yeah, I love at the end how her thing was. Oh, well, chivalry's dead. Yeah, that's what this means. Like, that's not what this means at all.
Brooke
Hey, wait a minute. I thought you two were going to champion her no matter what happened. Remember that?
Jeffrey
Tried, but someone took us over. Right? I'm all about hearing people out.
Brooke
Yeah. No, no, that's not what you would have thought. The two girls in the room had the right sense of the crazy lady on the phone.
Jeffrey
What if he wouldn't have seen her practicing her Uber app lie out on the side of the road?
Brooke
Then he would have paid for her Uber.
Jeffrey
He would have paid for the Uber. There would have been no drama. They would never have even been on the show.
Brooke
I mean, they could be two kids deep by this point.
Jeffrey
See, I think the real lesson is practice your scam lines in private. Or at least in the women's room restroom where the men can't. There it is. Okay, remember that, ladies.
Brooke
Thank you for the always again jeopardy.
Jeffrey
That's right. Got your back. Ladies, we're ready to be scammed by you. We just don't want to know about it. Okay? And text in email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back. Go check out all of our second day podcasts wherever you get yours at. Brooke and Jeffrey.
Lindsay
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
We all have at least one choice that we made in life that we totally regret. I have so many.
Brooke
Yeah, just. Even the way you said regret is.
Jeffrey
I also regret. Very regrettable. And let's be honest, alcohol is usually involved.
Brooke
Hey, boys.
Bowen Yang
Hey.
Lindsay
How you doing?
Jeffrey
What a coincidence.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
You're right.
Jeffrey
I think all of mine involved alcohol.
Brooke
Does Brooke even regret that, though?
Jeffrey
But have you ever made one tiny decision thinking, oh, it'll be fine. Yeah. Only to end up in the hospital from it? Oh, no, no. That's what happened to one of our Listeners right in the middle of his first date. Oh, my God. And he can't believe he was naive enough to make this dumb, totally avoidable choice. You're gonna hear it in a special Valentine's episode of the second date update Coming up right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Lindsay
Second date update.
Jeffrey
Valentine's day can be a dangerous holiday for a single person to try and meet someone. You can't already have something locked in by then.
Bowen Yang
You do.
Jeffrey
You put a lot of pressure on yourself for it to work. Just look at college aged me and my infamous Valentine's Day massacre. Oh, boy. Started with a certain hunky frat boy inviting two lucky ladies to one party and ended with said frat boy drunk, alone in his room, crying and kicking a hole in the ceiling above his top bun. Because he struck out with both ladies that night. Oh, yeah. They literally left together.
Brooke
Can't imagine why they missed out.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Clearly.
Brooke
Yeah, they did.
Jeffrey
Just saying, dating around this particular holiday isn't always the best idea. And I'm not really sure how today's caller Reese feels about it. Reese, you have a bunch of holes in your house somewhere right now know.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Not for that reason.
Brooke
Oh, that's good.
Bowen Yang
That's good.
Brooke
You're not lying on a top bunk of a frat house. You didn't bring a girl back to your frat.
Jeffrey
Only Jeff could have two girls in his room in a frat house and ruin it like that's you already. Mission accomplished talent. I know. You know what?
Brooke
Whatever. Anti game. That's him.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Okay, well, you're going a little. Little harsh, a little far. But Reese, you brought it up just to laugh at. Anyway. Re. So you went out with a girl pretty close to Valentine's Day. Were you feeling the pressure?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Not really. Because I wasn't really thinking about it at that time.
Brooke
Oh, okay.
Lindsay
Okay, okay.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Basically the background is I had gone through a pretty rough breakup a few months prior and I was trying to get back in the game.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Good for you.
Bowen Yang
Thank you.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
I met Jen. Her and I matched. And I kind of realized after, like, we sort of clicked and we started talking. Like, I didn't want to wait until after Valentine. Valentine's day to ask her out.
Lindsay
Right.
Brooke
Because you could totally lose momentum if you wait too long. You gotta strike while. Yeah.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Right. So I was eager and kind of realizing at that time that it was close to Valentine's Day.
Brooke
Oh, yeah. Well, as you start to book things and everything's sold out.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Right.
Jeffrey
You know, make a reservation.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Exactly. And that's why? We decided to do something different other than a restaurant. Like, I want to make home feel weird at a place where there's only couples and stuff like that.
Jeffrey
So you invited two girls to one frat party, and that's when the good stuff happened. Don't feel weird. It's just us ladies. Yeah, and a whole room full of other people.
Brooke
Man, did you call the right show for that to blow up in your face.
Jeffrey
You just took out Jen, though, right?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry.
Brooke
We're just making fun of Jeffrey for his past. Not you, man. Not you.
Jeffrey
I mean, a certain frat guy was brave enough to invite two at once, but, you know, if you're not brave enough to do it, not a lot are you. Accomplish that, bro. I get it. Okay, so where did you and Jen go?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
So she actually suggested a bar. They were having, like, an all things Pink night.
Brooke
Oh, that's cute.
Jeffrey
What does that mean?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
It's like a Valentine's Day ish. It's like pink clothes, pink drinks, pink food, darling. Yeah. Okay, and so we go in, and I excuse myself to the restroom. Quick. And while I'm doing that, she ordered us two pink strawberry daiquiris.
Brooke
Oh, yeah. Gotta stay on theme.
Jeffrey
Okay, sounds good.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Here's where I messed up is I'm diabetic. She doesn't know I'm diabetic.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
I look at the drink and I think to myself, I can handle one. You know, my blood sugar's probably gonna spike. Okay, I'll get home, I'll take my insulin, and I'll just monitor the albutake.
Brooke
You will follow it up with a cake to wash it.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Well, I miscalculated it. Uh.
Brooke
Oh, wait.
Jeffrey
What does that mean?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Well, I started having an episode.
Jeffrey
Oh, no.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
So I needed medical attention. And the thing is, is, like, there was a moment where I couldn't really talk, and I wrote on a napkin and I slid it to Jen, and I slid the word hospital.
Jeffrey
Oh, my God. I hate to keep drawing parallels between this and the Valentine's Day massacre at the frat, but it's just. It keeps lighting up.
Brooke
You are not diabetic.
Jeffrey
No, I'm just saying, bad experience. The girls left quick. Like, dude, that's. That's scary.
Lindsay
I'd be so scared on a date with someone, too.
Brooke
And you don't know what's happening.
Jeffrey
What happens?
Brooke
Well, she doesn't even know you're diabetic. I'd be so scared.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Yeah, she doesn't quite understand what the note means, and she references to someone else, and that other person goes, maybe he's epileptic. You should shove a wallet in his mouth.
Brooke
What?
Jeffrey
What? Oh, so you don't bite your tongue. So I don't.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Oh, this is a fun Valentine's Day party game. Everybody take your wallets out.
Brooke
He's gonna go, hot tip. If you're having a seizure, you usually can't write at the same time.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Managing to scribble diabetic on a napkin. Which then Jen gets and she's gotta drive me to the hospital.
Brooke
Oh my God, what a first date experience.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
So things are a little foggy, right? And I kind of come to and I realize, like all of a sudden she's not there. And I'm surrounded by doctors and it was a very chaotic night.
Brooke
Gee thing, I'm glad you're okay.
Jeffrey
Did you get a kiss at the end of the night or who doesn't remember?
Brooke
Maybe by the nurs on his.
Jeffrey
Yeah, probably not the. Right. Yeah.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
The next morning I send her a text and say, hey, I'm good. I'm so sorry about last night. And she responds back was like, hey, just glad you're all right. And then that's pretty much it. And I haven't heard anything since.
Jeffrey
Oh, no.
Brooke
Okay. I mean, obviously not like your fault, out of your control, but also really traumatizing for her too, you know, Think.
Jeffrey
About what she said. She thinks like, oh, anytime time he has one drink, he's gonna need to go to the hospital. I don't want to date a guy like she might have been.
Brooke
I don't think anybody would think. I think she would have more empathy than that. That would be terrible. You could drink plenty of other things.
Jeffrey
Let's see how empathetic this woman really is. When we give Jen a call, hopefully she picks up and see what she has to say. When we do your Valentine's edition of second date update right after this. Hold on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Brooke
Second date update.
Jeffrey
A Valentine. Valentine's themed date that ends in the hospital for some of us wouldn't be the worst Valentine's that we've ever had.
Brooke
Okay, Jeff, get over the night in the frat house.
Jeffrey
It was for our listener Reese, who was a diabetic and took a chance, drank a pink strawberry daiquiri during his date, thinking that he could handle just one. Fast forward to him being driven to the hospital by his date Jen, where he had to be treated by doctors. It's all kind of a fuzzy experience to him because he was going through an episode. But afterwards Jen was gone. And hasn't responded really to him since. But Brooke, you've had worse Valentine's recently, right? Give him a little bit of hope.
Brooke
No, honestly, if this girl isn't calling you back because it freaked her out, that is somewhat understandable. But once I feel like she talks to you, she's really going to understand the situation and just have a lot of empathy for you. I can't imagine her not giving you another chance.
Bowen Yang
Chance?
Jeffrey
How do you feel about that, Reese?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
I feel like if she's got empathy, she would have gone out with me already. And I. I really don't understand.
Brooke
She drove me to the hospital.
Jeffrey
Yeah, but have I talked to him since? Alexa, she needs to do more than that. My mom drives me to the hospital.
Lindsay
Wait, what?
Jeffrey
And I don't want from my mom what Reese wants from Jen.
Lindsay
Hopefully it's not adding up.
Bowen Yang
I don't think.
Jeffrey
Who knows?
Brooke
Who knows? Maybe it's not the hospital or the diabetes. Maybe you had bad breath and you didn't realize it. You know what I mean?
Jeffrey
Maybe in your blackout, drawing on napkins, you were like, show me your boo. You know, like you wrote something and forgot. Do you want us to speculate a hundred more things that could have gone wrong, or should we just call this girl? No, speculate. I like where we're going.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Please call her.
Brooke
Okay, good choice. Good, solid.
Jeffrey
Let's dial Jen. We'll see if she answers. You just sit tight there. Here we go.
Lindsay
Hello?
Jeffrey
Hey, is this Jen?
Lindsay
Yes, speaking.
Jeffrey
Hey, Jen. This is a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. How are you doing?
Lindsay
Oh, yeah, I'm. I'm okay. How are you guys?
Brooke
Oh, thanks for asking, Jen. Usually people aren't that polite. We're very.
Jeffrey
Well, it was kind of an empathetic move there.
Brooke
It was. Oh, good point, Jeff.
Jeffrey
So that's. That's good news for you, Jen.
Lindsay
What's. What's a radio station calling me?
Jeffrey
Okay, I'll give you five guests guesses.
Brooke
No, just tell me.
Jeffrey
Okay, okay, that was unfair. 10 guesses.
Brooke
He's just gonna tell you right now.
Jeffrey
Oh, well, that's no fun. Sure, we'll take the joy out of it. This is called Second date Update and we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you went out on a date with recently named Reese.
Brooke
Hey, very memorable night.
Lindsay
Yeah. Reese.
Jeffrey
Uhoh. Yeah.
Lindsay
Oh my God. Yeah.
Brooke
Dude, it sounds like that night was crazy. Yeah.
Lindsay
Oh, okay, great. You got the rundown.
Jeffrey
Yeah, we spoke to him a little bit just to get a snapshot. Of what happened that night. And he told us that you're not really responding for another date at all. And he doesn't really understand why.
Lindsay
Well, yeah, I mean, I'm not answering him back. That's accurate.
Jeffrey
Oh, I see. Do you hate diabetics? Is that what's going on? No, I've had a few of those people answer this, you know. Careful.
Lindsay
Oh my gosh. No, it literally nothing to do with that.
Bowen Yang
I don't.
Lindsay
I don't hate people who have diabetes. I hate people who have girlfriends already.
Jeffrey
Girlfriends?
Brooke
Wait, what did you just say? What?
Lindsay
I hate people who already have girlfriends.
Jeffrey
He doesn't have a girlfriend.
Lindsay
Well, we didn't ask him.
Jeffrey
Yeah, but he wouldn't come on here and be like, oh, call this.
Brooke
Wait, really? Are you saying. You're saying that he's in a relationship?
Jeffrey
You think? Yeah. Why do you think that?
Lindsay
Okay, well, if he gave you the rundown, I'm assuming he told you that I took him to the hospital, right?
Jeffrey
Yeah, because he was having an episode and you were like his savior and he needed insulin.
Lindsay
Yes, I was his savior. But somebody else was his emergency contact. I guess because I'm sitting in the reception area and this woman comes in and she's asking for Reese. She's saying that she's his emergency contact. She's saying that she's his. His girlfriend.
Jeffrey
Oh.
Lindsay
And they took her back there to see him.
Jeffrey
Okay, okay. That okay objectively looks really bad. But yeah, the thing is, obviously we don't know everything about Reese and his situation.
Brooke
Maybe there was another Reese having a different diabetic. It's like a job application where my past boss is really my best friend.
Jeffrey
I don't think it's like those things, but do you remember when we first talked to him, he mentioned that he went through a bad break breakup with somebody a little while back. Oh, I forgot. Maybe it's his like ex girlfriend who's. Who's listed as his girlfriend and he hasn't changed his info. Like how often do you update your emergency contact? Stuff like that?
Brooke
Possible.
Jeffrey
I mean, we don't know. The thing is, we could ask Reese right now because he's been on the phone this whole time listening.
Lindsay
What the heck?
Brooke
Well, I think that this is something he actually needs to hear.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
That's annoying.
Jeffrey
Okay, it could give us a little bit of clarity. Reese, are you there? There?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Yeah. Hi, Jen.
Lindsay
Hi, Reese.
Jeffrey
Uhoh, Reese.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
So I guess I was just wondering what's going on? Why haven't you gotten back with.
Brooke
Dude, why are you not Coming in and saying, I'm sorry, there's a misunderstanding.
Jeffrey
Let me clear it up.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
I mean, do we really have to talk about that?
Jeffrey
It's pretty important to her, and I think to all of our listeners at this point.
Brooke
Are you in a relationship?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Okay, look, so here, like, yes, I am in a relationship, but what the.
Brooke
You just said you broke up with your ex and you were heartbroken, and you're finally back in the dating pool.
Jeffrey
Yes.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Yeah, I mean, when you. When you do stuff on the radio, I mean, you might say a lot of stuff.
Jeffrey
What?
Brooke
No.
Jeffrey
You're trying to make yourself look good, bro. You're using us to cheat Jen.
Brooke
I kind of feel like his girlfriend might know, though.
Jeffrey
Just say it was your ex girlfriend, and we're good. You were lying. You're just joking. Again, it's radio. You saying girlfriend.
Brooke
Jen, I'm sorry.
Lindsay
This is very messy, very sloppy, sloppy work.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Yeah, y'.
Jeffrey
All.
Lindsay
Y' all should have vetted him. Yeah.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Yeah, Jeff, like, okay, Jen, like, yes, I'm in a relationship, but I'm not happy, and I want to see what was out there.
Jeffrey
Before you break up up with her.
Lindsay
This just feels like your hole is getting dug deeper and deeper, man. I'm sorry.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
Yeah, I guess. So, Jeff. I mean, does this ruin our chances?
Jeffrey
You've kind of created a big mess for yourself, so I don't know what it is that you want to say to Jen, but.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
All right, look, I'm just saying, Jen, like, I'm not happy. And I feel like if you want to have, like, an actual Valentine's Day together, like, we can do that. We can have, like, a legit.
Lindsay
Oh, my God, Reese, you're just a big walking red flag.
Jeffrey
Oh, like Valentine's.
Lindsay
You got a free ambulance ride. And let's just chalk it up to that, okay? You got lucky.
Jeffrey
Are you saying that him telling you how sad he is doesn't make you want to date him right now?
Lindsay
It really is. It's tugging at my heartstrings.
Brooke
That was sarcasm, Jeff.
Jeffrey
Well, yeah, dude, why.
Brooke
Why don't you just break up with your girlfriend? I don't understand this.
Jeffrey
Some people don't want to be.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
I don't. I don't know that I want to do that either.
Jeffrey
See?
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Lindsay
You're the worst. I.
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
You know what?
Lindsay
I'm almost regretting taking him to the hospital.
Jeffrey
Okay, that was so low.
Brooke
That was even too low for me.
Jeffrey
It's a little far, Jen. Although we understand the sentiment.
Brooke
Somebody would have called an ambulance. Okay, so are you worried that your girlfriend's gonna hear this or does she know?
Alex/Reese/Jen (various callers)
I. I'm not worried yet.
Jeffrey
Because the thing is, Jen could be his new girlfriend if she says yes to this question. He have two girls in his room? Like someone I know did one time. I'm telling you, it works for the frat guys.
Brooke
The girls were never in Jeff's room.
Jeffrey
Yeah, but in the house. Bottom line, Jen, is we would love to pay. Not love, but we will. We'll pay. We'll pay for the second date with Reese. And that's funny. Our boss will like that. Yeah.
Lindsay
Come on. And it's like. It's a not a no. It's a hell no.
Jeffrey
Did not see that coming. Blindsided by that one, I'm sure. At least you have a backup. You can always go back to your girlfriend.
Lindsay
He hasn't left.
Jeffrey
Struggling after Plan B is his girlfriend. That's crazy. Plan A. I don't know. Inviting two girls into the studio now alone.
Lindsay
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Morning.

I thought I knew what cheat voice sounded like because he didn't. He didn't have cheater voice. But I was totally wrong. Dude, I was fooled.
Lindsay
I was too.
Brooke
You seem so, so like nice.
Jeffrey
That's how good cheaters are. But you know what? Give him some points, Brooke, because he was honest. At least admitted that he had a girlfriend after he got exposed.
Brooke
He admitted it though.
Jeffrey
He got there, got to the honesty.
Brooke
You think he went home and was honest with his girlfriend suddenly? I doubt it, Jeff.
Jeffrey
Who cares about that? He was honest with us. He was still trying to go out with Jen even after afterwards. See, it's that type of chutzpah that if I had back at the frat house, things would have turned out so much differently that night. Yeah. What? You're crying. Hey, before you ladies leave, are you.

This Valentine’s Day special revisits two classic, high-drama Second Date Updates. As always, the premise is simple: a listener has been ghosted after a first date—they contact the show to uncover the true reason why, with the possibility (however unlikely) of scoring a second date. In both segments, the “why” veers into outrageous territory, highlighting messy miscommunications, bad dating behavior, and the hosts’ signature blend of empathy and sharp wit.
Segments Covered:
| Time | Segment/Moment | |-----------|----------------------------------------------------------| | 03:08 | Start of Galentine's Day episode and setup | | 05:23 | Lindsay retells her “scammer” story | | 12:13 | Calling and confronting Alex | | 15:38 | Lindsay vs. Alex argument peaks | | 17:33 | Brooke calls out Lindsay’s Uber scam | | 23:44 | Host intro to V-Day Pass Out/recount of Reese’s story | | 27:40 | Reese’s diabetic episode described | | 33:18 | Jen’s bombshell: “I hate people who already have girlfriends” | | 36:18 | Reese’s confession: he has a girlfriend | | 38:17 | Jen’s absolute NO to another date | | 40:59 | Brooke: “Do not aspire to be this dude.” |
This episode is a rollercoaster of confrontational and comedic moments, with the hosts leaning into sarcasm, supportive jabs, and exasperated laughter. Both stories unfold with dramatic reveals, heated arguments, and the kind of raw honesty that is at once shocking and addictively entertaining.
For anyone who’s never heard Brooke and Jeffrey’s Second Date Update, this Valentine’s episode is a perfect crash course in why the series is both beloved and notorious: It’s messy, relatable, and endlessly funny—often at the daters’ expense.
