Brooke
Isn't that crazy?
Jeffrey
The Saturday one.
Brooke
Yes.
Jeffrey
Oh, it's good.
Bowen Yang
Yes.
Jeffrey
Because you can't hear this on the radio.
Brooke
Yeah, yeah, there you go. So here is your Saturday back to back. But we always start with comments. Anna said first comment.
Luke
Woohoo.
Brooke
All right. Although not sure if I should be proud or ashamed because I sit around refreshing, waiting for the full show to be posted. Post it every day. Oh girl, I love that. Well, we refreshed until we saw your comment. Yeah, so we were on the other side of the screen going, refresh, refresh. Somebody's gonna say something. Refresh, refresh.
Jeffrey
Good point.
Brooke
Yeah, so we can all be ashamed together. Yeah, that's right. There it goes. Here goes your back to back starting right now.
Jeffrey
Listen, we never want to disappoint our listeners.
Brooke
No, not at all.
Jeffrey
Now, our parents, I've been disappointing them since I left the womb. So same story. But with our listeners. No, you actually matter.
Brooke
That's right.
Jeffrey
And today we've got extra pressure on us because the guy on the phone says we need to get answers. Not just for his sanity, but for the sanity of his entire friend group. All played a strange but important role in his date. You're going to hear it in your second date update right after this.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.
Jeffrey
Is there any place on earth more difficult to navigate than the world of dating apps? At least in this day and age. Yeah, there's a lot. Maybe it was easier a few years ago, but now there are landmines everywhere.
Brooke
You know, honestly, I'm pretty grateful for them because I don't think we could do this many second date updates without.
Jeffrey
Totally true.
Brooke
The dire atmosphere that this is thank
Jeffrey
you to everybody's sacrifice out there. We wouldn't have jobs but for a guy. If you do come across a person who. Who's attractive and seems mentally stable. Ish. And she's not a bot. Your chances of landing a phone number are 0.00001. So I want to talk to a real life hero who beat those odds and actually lock down a date. The Rudy of dating apps. His name is Luke. Round of applause for Luke. His name's Luke.
Brooke
I know, but you started with Rudy and I was going to give him a Rudy entrance. That's what you do.
Jeffrey
Yeah, that's fine. We messed up Luke, but.
Luke
Sorry.
Jeffrey
You want to yell someone else's name?
Brooke
I was into it.
Jeffrey
You guys.
Brooke
You know the movie, you know the scene.
Luke
Y', all, this is great. I haven't felt this welcome in a long time.
Jeffrey
Luke, you are an inspiration to millions of people listening right now. We are hoisting you up on our shoulders, carrying you all over this room. Just please tell us how you did this. We're holding the phone.
Luke
Well, I met this girl online and
Jeffrey
that's what we were talking about for a while.
Brooke
You know what? He did it by being a smooth talker.
Bowen Yang
That's right to the point. Yep.
Jeffrey
How did you get a date with a girl after meeting her online?
Luke
Oh, I don't want to pat myself on the back, but she's pretty hot. I had to rizz it up.
Brooke
Okay, do you have a line you like to use or would you want
Jeffrey
to be more vague with us about it?
Luke
Well, she asked me like, what I was up to and I'm like, I don't know, saving a cat from a tree. No big deal.
Jeffrey
Is that what you said?
Brooke
That was the joke.
Luke
Yeah. Gotta laugh it.
Jeffrey
Gotta laugh.
Bowen Yang
Okay.
Luke
And I told her a couple other things, like, oh, I had to deliver the cat to an orphanage and.
Brooke
Oh, okay. Because you're the hero.
Jeffrey
That's right. Yeah, you're playing up the I'm a perfect guy.
Brooke
Haha.
Jeffrey
But it's obviously all a joke.
Brooke
Obviously stole the cat from the family who is waiting for it under the tree.
Luke
Don't give away my trade secret.
Jeffrey
Okay, sorry, sorry. So by the way, have we learned this girl's name yet?
Luke
Claire.
Brooke
Claire.
Jeffrey
Claire.
Brooke
Okay, Hot Claire.
Jeffrey
So you managed to get her to agree to a date with you, which already huge, huge, huge success. So tell us how the actual date went.
Brooke
You're really hyping up that success. But part Brooke.
Jeffrey
You don't know, do you?
Brooke
When was the last time you Went on a date.
Jeffrey
Okay, ouch.
Brooke
First of all, I'm just saying the successes of planning it, it's that they show up.
Jeffrey
Okay?
Luke
Trust me, I was as shocked as anybody else that she actually like gave me her number and showed up to the date. I was expecting to eat sushi by myself.
Jeffrey
Oh, okay.
Brooke
You went to sushi. Fancy. That's a fun date.
Jeffrey
Love that.
Luke
Yeah, we went to sushi. And she's pretty hot in real life too. I thought I might have been catfished, but nope.
Jeffrey
Oh. Although catfish is a good sushi. What did you guys connect over?
Luke
Regular stuff. You know, we talked about like enjoying like hiking and work. Nothing too fancy. But I gotta imagine my Riz must not have been as good in person as it was online because she hasn't been calling me back.
Brooke
That's interesting, because you. I mean, just talking to you in this amount of time, you seem like a fun, playful, like good personality type of guy.
Luke
Don't forget good looking. I'm going to come clean now. I don't want you guys to tell her this, but I actually brought a friend to the dinner with me. Not at the table, like a spy? Kinda, yeah.
Brooke
Why? Why? Why?
Jeffrey
Please tell me. Talking about the cat that you rescued?
Luke
No, they were just at the table nearby and kind of like.
Jeffrey
Oh, wait, wait. So now it's they, now it's multiple people?
Luke
Yeah, it was two people.
Bowen Yang
What?
Jeffrey
Oh, God. Okay, now that you're revealing, little by little, was the entire restaurant all your friends?
Brooke
Waiter was his mom.
Luke
Yeah, no, but look, look, you got to think smart about this. It would be weird if just one dude was sitting by himself at a table next to your table.
Jeffrey
Oh, you couple.
Brooke
No, man, it's weird either way. It's weird that you invited friends on your date. Why did you invite friends on your date?
Luke
Trust me, she did not know.
Brooke
I mean, girls always know. Yeah, but like, weren't they staring at you? Or like, was it ever obvious?
Luke
No, I didn't think so. I mean, listen, all. All I would do is if I felt like I was kind of running out of some Riz. There was a little bit of like a lull in the conversation. I just excuse myself to the bathroom and one of them would meet me in there and we'd kind of game plan before I'd head back in.
Jeffrey
Okay, you needed a little. Just a little backup in case you needed support. That's not a bad idea.
Bowen Yang
What?
Jeffrey
Women do this all the time.
Brooke
I just need to know, are they on the other line? Are they like in the back Room with us right now.
Luke
No, no, no.
Brooke
You're just on your own.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
Okay.
Luke
It's just me for now.
Brooke
Jeff, here's the thing. Women will invite someone to be nearby for safety reasons, not because they don't feel like they can. They run out things they talk about.
Luke
Yeah, mine was also for safety. It was for conversational safety.
Brooke
Conversational safety.
Jeffrey
Which. Yeah, equal in my eyes.
Bowen Yang
I think.
Jeffrey
Girls do it. It's cool. Guys do it. It's crazy.
Brooke
How many times did you go to the bathroom?
Luke
I went four times.
Jeffrey
Not a small bladder. That's not a big deal. It's a big deal.
Luke
I mean, it seems helpful. It fueled me up, you know, I went back out there and kept making her laugh.
Brooke
Okay.
Bowen Yang
Okay.
Brooke
So you were able to game plan better conversations. Well.
Jeffrey
And how did the date end?
Luke
It was a little kiss. It was a little peck on the cheek.
Brooke
Okay. Was there any talk about future hangouts,
Luke
like with me and my friends?
Bowen Yang
No. No.
Jeffrey
Although you can answer that if you want to. I'm curious. Even they're like, we're not gonna see you again. No risk.
Brooke
You get dumped by three people in one day.
Luke
At this point, I kind of feel like if I don't get a call back, we all lost.
Jeffrey
Oh, okay.
Brooke
They did do half the work.
Jeffrey
We all need closure here.
Brooke
That's a good point.
Jeffrey
All right, well, we're gonna call Claire and hopefully get some answers. Not just for Eric, but for his.
Luke
Wow.
Jeffrey
So we can all rest easy after we do your second date update. Right after this. Hold on.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.
Jeffrey
If you're just joining us, we've been talking to RML Riz Master Luke, who locked down a date with a tasty little saucepot named Claire the other night. His words.
Brooke
Yeah, that's tlsp.
Jeffrey
That's right. So took her to a restaurant, and for backup, he brought a couple of his buddies along, had them sit at a nearby table just in case he needed some help with conversation topics.
Brooke
Wasn't it a girl and a guy that he brought along?
Jeffrey
I assumed two guys.
Luke
Yeah, no, it was two of my buddies.
Brooke
Okay, well, he's got to be able to meet him in the bathroom, Brooke. Yeah.
Jeffrey
Now, the good news is he only needed their help four times throughout the dinner date.
Brooke
Oh, that is so many times.
Jeffrey
Well, Luke, we never asked you, though. Did your friends who were there that night have any theories on what they think could have gone wrong?
Luke
No, they said I was killing it. They were like, yeah, man, she's all about it.
Brooke
Wait Wait, what? You got him in the bathroom? And that's the advice they gave you, is you're killing it, keep doing what you're doing.
Luke
No, no, that's what they told me after the date.
Brooke
Oh, when they were watching from the bushes as you say goodbye to it. Why? I'm imagining them putting thumbs up from across the table.
Luke
Oh, no, they weren't in the bushes. They were in their car in the parking lot.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
With the headlights and the high beams on and binoculars.
Jeffrey
Those are good, supportive friends to just say that to you, even if it might not be 100% true.
Luke
Okay, I know. I appreciate that, and I appreciate them. I just. I really want you guys to do whatever you can to help get me the second date. And if you could, please don't mention that my friends were there. I like. I don't want her to know that.
Jeffrey
Oh, okay. Okay. Well, tell her that you have no friends whatsoever, so that's impossible.
Brooke
I think. Maybe just don't bring up friends at all. Jeff.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Is it? Until she probably does.
Jeffrey
Let's find out. I'm gonna dial Claire right now. We'll see if she picks up and hopefully get some answers. Here we go.
Brittany
Hello.
Jeffrey
Hi, we're looking to speak to somebody named Claire.
Brittany
This is she.
Jeffrey
Oh, hey. Hey, Claire. Welcome to our radio show. Surprise. You're on the radio. We're Showcup. Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Brooke
Okay, this is just supposed to be kind of fun.
Jeffrey
Yeah. So I hope you're not too busy doing something right now, but we'd really, really like to talk to you.
Brittany
What's this about?
Jeffrey
This is about a segment we do called the Second Date Update. Do you know about that? Have you heard about second date updates?
Brooke
Ours are viral on TikTok I.
Brittany
It sounds a little familiar. Maybe on Insta or something.
Jeffrey
Okay, that may be one of the knockoffs.
Brooke
I know. No, it's the one where they steal our audio and they use those video games.
Jeffrey
Oh, God, I love those ones. That's so good. So much better than ours.
Brooke
Subway Surfers for Life.
Jeffrey
Yeah, I never found that game. Okay, so, Claire, maybe you're a little bit familiar with it, but basically it's where we try to help out our listeners figure out the reason they're not getting a call back for a second date from someone they really like.
Brittany
Just someone?
Brooke
No, there's no. He has a name.
Jeffrey
Yeah. This particular person is named Luke. Who you went on a date with.
Brittany
I'm so sorry. Oh, my goodness. I don't want to sound confusing, but I have Been out with more than
Luke
one Luke this week.
Brooke
Oh, Justin. This week.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
I mean, it's a fairly common name. It is, yeah.
Jeffrey
But still, this particular Luke went to sushi with you.
Brittany
Okay.
Jeffrey
I thought you're going to be like again.
Brooke
Wait, okay. Do you remember or you don't?
Brittany
Yeah, I know who you're talking about for sure now.
Jeffrey
Okay, good man.
Brooke
You wish we called about the other Luke.
Jeffrey
Sounds like it. Maybe he is calling back. Okay, so what we're trying to tell you is that Luke had a really good time and he's a little bit confused about why there hasn't been a second date yet.
Brooke
Is it as simple as you just have so many other dates planned that you can't fit Luke in?
Brittany
I guess it was just a little bit of an odd date. He seemed kind of nervous and. I don't know, he's a little quieter in person. That's not really my thing.
Jeffrey
Maybe he just needs a little bit of time to warm up because he was speaking to us about the date and he had a lot of really nice things to say. Yeah, he was very smiley.
Brittany
I don't. I don't know. I don't know. But it just seemed like. Seemed like he knew people that were sitting by us.
Brooke
Oh, no. What? What do you mean?
Brittany
Like, when Luke would make a joke, I would hear like the table two tables over laughing and say how funny that guy is.
Jeffrey
Oh, some other table was listening in on your conversation? Like overselling.
Brooke
I mean, to be fair, I do that all the time. I love when a first date comes in and I'm at a restaurant. It is like. It's better than anything. Could you imagine Brooke doing around?
Jeffrey
Nice joke, girl.
Brooke
Dude, I talk about it with my kids. I'm like, did you hear what they said with the kids, Claire?
Jeffrey
You find that behavior to be rude and insulting.
Brittany
It was kind of loud. It was a weird vibe.
Luke
I. I don't know. It just was off.
Jeffrey
Well, I mean, it's like Brooke was saying, you can't really hold that against Luke just because some other guys are obviously jealous of him and wish that they were on the date instead of pretty cool, you're cracking up other tables.
Brooke
And here's the thing. Even if Luke did know them, I mean, I've gone into restaurants where I've seen people that I know just by coincidence.
Brittany
Yeah, he never said he knew them.
Jeffrey
I almost be like, hey, is that Bill?
Brooke
Did you ask, though?
Brittany
No, no, because it was weird. I mean, literally, some guys like, he's so cute. I'd go out with him again.
Jeffrey
The guy said he's cute.
Bowen Yang
Okay.
Brittany
Yeah. Like, one of the many times he went to the bathroom, the guy literally came over and told me that.
Jeffrey
Wait, one of them talked to you?
Brooke
No, no.
Jeffrey
The guy came over to your table and said, the person you're on a date with thinks you're cute.
Brooke
No, I think he's cute. I would go out with him. Yes.
Brittany
Yeah. I'm like, who are you?
Brooke
Oh, no. Dude, he is gonna die when he hears that one of the guys from the table came over.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Doing too much. And he already did hear that, actually, Claire, because he is listening on the other line to this conversation.
Brittany
Wait, he's listening?
Brooke
Yeah, he's like the guys from the restaurant at the other table right now.
Jeffrey
Eavesdropper over there. Lukie there.
Luke
Oh, my gosh. I cannot believe he said that. What an idiot.
Brooke
He's gonna out yourself then, right?
Jeffrey
There's a nice thing he said about you.
Brittany
So you do know the guy. You didn't say that. Oh, my God.
Brooke
Just tell her. At this point.
Luke
Listen, I'm sorry. You're just. You're really attractive, and you really cool, and I. I was just nervous, and I. I wanted to have some buddies there to kind of just help me with the date. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just. I thought it would be uncomfortable and weird.
Brittany
So those guys were like, your training wheels?
Jeffrey
That's a new term. That's a good. I do like that.
Luke
I guess you could say that.
Brittany
Okay. I mean, I guess I really appreciate your honesty. I do. Like, that's kind of 100% pathetic.
Brooke
Oh, ouch. Come on.
Jeffrey
That's a little strong.
Brooke
Yeah. I mean, he's a nice guy. He's just trying his best.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
And, like, now that you know the only reason you didn't like the date was because of them. It wasn't because of Luke.
Brittany
Did you not hear me before? I said he was way different than he was online, so both things turned me off.
Jeffrey
So that, too.
Brooke
Is it like, he was funnier online? What do you mean?
Brittany
He was outgoing online, and not in the sense of like, I'm bringing friends on your date.
Jeffrey
Unless he's messaging his friends. Like, what, do I message her back?
Brooke
I'm starting to think, how about this?
Luke
Would you want to go back to talking online? I'm better online anyway.
Jeffrey
Oh, there we go. That's an idea. It's more of a safe place.
Brooke
Talking about. How is that. That's not a second date. That's not the point of this is to get him another shot in real life without the friends, without the training wheel.
Jeffrey
What if you go on a date, but you only text throughout the date?
Luke
Okay, okay, guys, I could do that.
Brooke
We know you can. We're about joking, but you guys are
Brittany
not getting this because I didn't necessarily like him in person and I didn't like his friends.
Jeffrey
Only the online version of Luke is acceptable.
Luke
Look, my friends in my best interest. And if you don't see that, then, I don't know, maybe you don't deserve me.
Bowen Yang
Good.
Jeffrey
Stand up for your friends, bro.
Brittany
Okay, fine. That's cool with me.
Jeffrey
Oh, yeah, I don't know.
Luke
I thought that was fun with the other Luke, then
Brooke
said his own name in such disdain.
Jeffrey
So I can't even offer to send you guys out on a date that we would pay for, Claire, because it's normally what I do here.
Brittany
I do get asked out a lot, so, no, I don't need that.
Luke
Okay, well, listen, Claire, I apologize. I honestly, I would actually like to go out with you again.
Brooke
Wait, what? You just told her you didn't need her.
Jeffrey
Luke.
Brooke
Yeah.
Luke
What?
Brooke
You remember sticking up for your friends?
Luke
Showing her she's really hot, though. And like, I'm telling you, man, the online dating scene is rough.
Jeffrey
Okay, okay, so now we've turned this into a third date update, would you be willing to give him a third chance at meeting up with him one more time? Claire. Okay, fourth date update. Okay, you know what? Forget it, Luke. I'm sorry. She's gonna say no.
Brittany
All right, I have to go, guys. This really has not been very much fun.
Brooke
Oh, okay. Hot and such a delight, isn't she?
Brittany

Brooke
Does that mean that we're not the hot ones? Yes, bro, because we're so kind.
Jeffrey
Yeah, sure.
Luke
But then.
Brooke
Wait, what did you hear?
Jeffrey
Luke admitted his mistakes. He apologized for his actions. He complimented her, tried to reach a compromise.
Brooke
Okay, Jeff.
Jeffrey
And none of that flies with a hot girl. You are a good wingman, Jeff.
Brooke
He did a terrible job of all of those things. And a terrible thing bringing his friends there.
Jeffrey
Yeah, yeah. Without telling her. Okay, your guys's inner hot girls are coming out being, like, mean for no reason.
Brooke
Did you hear that? We have an inner hot girl. Yeah, I wish it was outer, but I'll take my.
Jeffrey
Sure, but we want to help your inner personality. Mean, hot. I have an inner whatever guy in there, by the way. Yeah, we all have inner people.

They're online. Wherever you get your podcasts, Apple, Spotify, all the places. Just look up Brooke and Jeffrey.
Brooke
Second date update, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
It sucks when you're on a date date hoping to get a kiss at the end of the night or maybe even an invite upstairs and it just doesn't happen. But shoot. Just because they said good night and closed the door on you, does that mean it's over and you need to walk away with your head in shame?
Brooke
It does.
Jeffrey
Yes. No, it does not.
Brooke
Oh, God, Jeff.
Jeffrey
There is always another way.
Brooke
Oh.
Jeffrey
In fact, one of our female lists listeners chose to use an innocent little excuse to go from awkward end of the night hug to instant sleepover at his place.
Brooke
Oh, hello.
Jeffrey
You're gonna hear it, maybe even be able to use it for yourself. After a brand new second date update right after this.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning second date update.
Jeffrey
Are there rules for when you want to veto a date that you don't love?
Brooke
Like, in the planning stages, or are we already on it in the plan
Jeffrey
in the planning stages? Like, you're looking forward to hanging out with this person?
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Yeah. But you just aren't thrilled about the activity that they came up with. Like, is there a limit to how many vetoes you get to, like, be like, oh, you want to do this? No. Do you want to do this?
Luke
No.
Jeffrey
Is there a number that you have you can't go over?
Brooke
I think you can't go over one. I think you get one veto, and then you start to look picky.
Jeffrey
And do you. Do you need to say veto in a fancy accent so it sounds less harsh when you're turning them down? Veto. I only ask because one of our listeners, Brittany, exercised her right to veto, and now she's ended up here with us.
Brooke
Oh, Brittany, did you use the wrong accent when you vetoed?
Brittany
I wish I could do a cool accent.
Jeffrey
On your email. It says you went out with a guy named Josh and you had to turn down an idea or two. So tell us about Josh. How'd you meet him?
Brooke
Him?
Brittany
We met through friend of a friend, so I was already really close to one of his guy friends.
Jeffrey
Okay, and so how did the planning of this date go? Like, run us through that.
Brittany
So we were in between texting, and it was really sweet of him to bring up, like, mini golf, but I just wasn't feeling it. And then he brought up bowling. Oh, I honestly wasn't feeling that.
Brooke
So wait, are you like. I feel like if you veto that, you then have to offer a suggestion yourself. I agree with that. Were you just saying no?
Brittany
Okay, so I was just saying no, and I. Okay, real quick. I will admit I was being kind of a princess.
Jeffrey
You weren't just saying no. You were saying, ew. No.
Brooke
She used that little barf emoji bowling.
Jeffrey
Gross.
Brittany
It wasn't that bad. It wasn't that bad.
Bowen Yang
You got it.
Brooke
So did you finally decide on something to do?
Brittany
Well, we ended up just. He was like, why don't you just come over to my place? It's a big community. Like, we can go for a walk, like, around the neighborhood. And to be honest, that sounded more like I had a stressful work week. Like, I'm about it. So.
Brooke
I mean, after feeling high maintenance, now you seem low maintenance.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Brooke
If that's all you need, you can
Jeffrey
just chill and walk.
Brittany
I didn't even think about that, but you're so right. Oh, wow.
Jeffrey
You look good without knowing. There it is. That's a good thing. So you agreed to a walk around his neighborhood. And how did that go?
Brittany
It was actually really good. We got along. We had a lot of things in common. We ended up going back to his place, and it was good and bad.
Jeffrey
His place was bad?
Brittany
No, no, no, no, no. His place was nice, actually. Like, it was modern and clean.
Brooke
Okay, you're saying the vibe was good and bad?
Brittany
Yes. Thank you.
Jeffrey
Because I could see you also walking through and being like, veto that painting. Ew. Veto that backsplash. Absolutely not.
Brittany
I don't.
Jeffrey
Yeah, well, that is a fair point, actually. Okay, so when you're hanging out with him at his place, what happens?
Brooke
Yeah, what's the good.
Brittany
The good was the banter. Like, again, we just kind of hit it off really well.
Jeffrey
Nice.
Brittany
The bad part, that. Okay, so we put on you the Netflix show.
Brooke
Wait, isn't that the stalker show then? It's supposed to with Penn Badgle or whatever. Yeah, but it only gets darker after the first season.
Bowen Yang
It gets.
Brooke
Okay, so the first season, did you.
Brittany
It was just on and in the background, like, we were talking, watching, and he was sitting all the way on the other side of the couch.
Brooke
Like, oh, no.
Brittany
I don't know if it was the fact that he was shy or what, but it did kind of throw me off. Like, it wasn't the greatest vibe, if you know what I mean.
Brooke
You're yelling across the living room while a show is playing.
Jeffrey
You probably have to yell anyway to be heard over a Netflix show playing in the background. Huh. Interesting. So. So how did you guys end it?
Brittany
Well, it was getting dark.
Brooke
Yeah.
Brittany
And I honestly, I just kind of. Like, I was getting tired, so I just told him I had to go. No kiss. We did hug.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brittany
But when I got to my car, I realized I only brought my sunglasses. Like, I didn't bring my real glasses. So I. Like, I can't drive. Like, I definitely can't drive without my glasses. And so I ended up texting him, like, hey, this is the situation. And he ended up telling me that I could stay the night.
Jeffrey
Oh, that's nice.
Brooke
Why wouldn't he say, I'll drive you home? That's interesting.
Jeffrey
Obviously, between the two choices, stay the night or I'll take you home. The guy is gonna pick. Yeah, sure. You can have a sleepover. I Don't want her to stay. She may kiss me. Why are you so against the sleepover?
Brooke
I'm just surprised because he's a guy that sat on the opposite room. Yeah, he had all side of the room from her. It sounded like he wasn't. And now's his chance into it, he's like, okay, so I'm sure you're getting mixed signals then, right when he asks you, did you stay the night?
Brittany
I did, and I ended up, yes, I did.
Jeffrey
Oh, what was that?
Brittany
Yeah, nothing. I just ended up staying the night.
Brooke
It was. But, like, did you sleep on the couch at separate ends again, or.
Jeffrey
That's a good question.
Brittany
Yeah, definitely.
Jeffrey
So our show is so perverted. We want all the details. This is important. Happened, though. She's flustered. Something not major, but something happened.
Brooke
Here's the question. What was it like the next morning?
Jeffrey
There you go, bro.
Brittany
No comment. Hey.
Jeffrey
All right, we heard.
Brooke
I don't know if that's good.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So what's happened? I'm assuming the next day you got back your car, you drove home, and then what's happened since then?
Brittany
That's where we're at. Absolutely nothing.
Jeffrey
He's not responding to you at all.
Luke
At all.
Jeffrey
Well, now when we call him, some of the details about what happened that night might need to come out. If they explain why he's not calling you back, hopefully you're okay with that.
Brittany
We need that.
Brooke
We need that the whole world be prepared.
Jeffrey
Let's try and get some more details out of Josh when we come back and call him. Try and get you your second date update right after this.
Brittany
All right, thank you.
Jeffrey
All right, hold on.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.
Jeffrey
It's the classic first date line young people love to use. Oh, I forgot my driving glasses. Can I spend the night at your place? Worked on me all throughout college. Oh, and my driving glove and scarf. Oh, my God. So many. But now, to be fair, our listener Brittany didn't ask to spend the night over at Josh's house. He offered to let her stay, which
Brooke
means he wanted to because there's so many other solutions to figuring this out.
Jeffrey
Why wouldn't you want to call? I'll just call you an Uber. But something. Ever since then, Brittany hasn't seen any effort by Josh for him to arrange a second meetup with her. Which is kind of odd because she says there was. There was a connection there. There was a chemistry, especially when they were bantering with each other.
Brooke
Yeah, except for the moment on the couch. That's moment.
Jeffrey
Long moments.
Brooke
Yeah, long moments on the couch where they're sitting on opposite ends.
Jeffrey
He just sat in a weird spot and maybe got the stuck there. Wasn't sure how to move over. We're not really sure. Yeah, that's why we need to ask him.
Brooke
And I forgot, Britney, you said your friends set you up. Have you heard anything from them?
Brittany
Nothing. I've tried to reach out to them, too, and she just keeps saying that she's busy. And then the other guy's like, yeah, we're super busy right now. Like, we'll get back to you.
Jeffrey
That sounds like they're covering for him.
Brooke
Yes.
Brittany
Yeah.
Brooke
Weird. I wonder if they didn't know. Like, maybe he's. I don't know.
Jeffrey
What?
Brooke
Who knows? Let's find out.
Jeffrey
We could have a million questions. It's best to just call Josh and ask. So I'm gonna dial his number right now. We'll see if he picks up. Here we go.
Luke
Hello?
Jeffrey
Hey, we're looking to talk with Josh.
Luke
This is he. Who's this?
Jeffrey
Hey, Josh. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Brooke
Hey, Josh.
Jeffrey
Hey, good morning.
Luke
Hey.
Bowen Yang
Hey.
Jeffrey
Hey. So hope it's okay if we ask you some questions about your dating life, because we're doing a segment called Second Date Update
Luke
on the radio.
Brooke
Yeah, they're very specific questions, only about one person, so.
Jeffrey
Yeah, a person you went out with recently named Brittany. Oh, yeah.
Luke
Okay.
Brooke
Okay, okay. Okay. I guess we'll move into the questions then. Jeff.
Jeffrey
Sweet. So we know a little bit about when you and Britney hung out. Like, here's a little bit of the background to catch you up, because Brittany was on the show and she told us that she came over to your neighborhood. You guys walked around. Overall, we weren't sure if the date was, like, great or just average, but she did say that she spent the night. We just. We're not 100% sure what that means. Yeah.
Brooke
And she's interested in you. Yeah.
Jeffrey
So could you maybe let us in on what's been going on in your head?
Luke
Sure. I mean, I don't know how much she's told you about.
Jeffrey
Well, it's mostly everything I just recapped for you right there. Generic. Just general. Did you have a good night?
Luke
It was different.
Jeffrey
Okay. You have a night.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Okay. It could be different in a good way.
Brooke
Yeah, that's.
Jeffrey
I don't know.
Brooke
Alexis, would you be complimented if a guy says your date was maybe not. The pause for 10 seconds before he answered.
Jeffrey
Yeah, if he was like, oh, it was different. Yeah.
Brooke
Did she do something weird or wrong?
Luke
So I don't know if. I mean, this is gonna look great for her.
Brooke
It's not gonna look great for her.
Luke
You said it's not gonna look great for her. But, I mean, if you really want to know where it took a left
Jeffrey
turn for me, we really want to know. But more importantly, she really wants to know. And she's agreed to hear whatever the reason is. She knows the risks.
Brooke
We outright warned her that she may hear something that's not super flattering, and
Jeffrey
she was pumped about it.
Brooke
She wasn't. But she's okay with it.
Jeffrey
She's like, I hope so.
Luke
Okay, so we were just watching Netflix, and during the middle, she pulls out her phone, which you know is fine. But then she asked me to come over and look over, and she's basically showing me pictures of her co workers and how fat and ugly they were.
Brooke
Wait, what?
Luke
And just commentating one by one. And, you know, to her credit, she wasn't wrong about all of them.
Jeffrey
But wait, hold on, hold on.
Brooke
Like, she's in her photo gallery being like, look how ugly this person is.
Jeffrey
Like, badmouthing her own co workers. Oh, my God.
Brooke
God.
Bowen Yang
I just.
Luke
I was just wondering what is going on right now.
Brooke
Oh, my God. Was it a joke that maybe she's not very funny?
Luke
It seems like she has no one to talk to, no one to gossip with at work. So I guess this is her way of releasing that information.
Brooke
Gossip? That's just me.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Brooke
She said she wanted to do something chill because she had a bad week at work.
Jeffrey
Oh, she needed to vent a little bit.
Brooke
She told us that she had a bad week at work, and so she's just. Just venting by. And it was all about people's appearances.
Luke
Yeah, mostly. But also, I think it was just. She was also talking about their performance at work.
Brooke
Yikes.
Jeffrey
I would almost be sympathetic if she was telling you the stories. This girl was mean to me, or this thing happened. But not just going, look at this fat person.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Brooke
To have a photo gallery of them at the ready.
Jeffrey
I am so impressed with her that she's that organized to be able to bust it out.
Luke
I mean, there was a girl picture, and it wasn't a good photo at all.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
So made it easy to go. This collection of people. The way you're describing it to us earlier, you felt like that was a bad thing for you. That was a red flag.
Luke
I jokingly say it was kind of funny and random, but at the same time, this was Not.
Jeffrey
Yeah, okay, but if you were that put off by it, then she told us that you asked her to spend the night and something may have happened between you two. Oh, yeah, because it's more.
Bowen Yang
I mean,
Luke
I'm a guy, so.
Jeffrey
Oh, it was a selfless act of you. You wanted to make her feel better, dude. Gotcha. Well, yeah, that's what it was.
Brooke
I can't believe we even asked him that question.
Jeffrey
What a sweet, sweet man.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Why aren't you thanking him?
Brooke
No, I mean, honestly, she's the worst. Like.
Jeffrey
Yeah, well, she probably felt better afterwards and, like, got it all out of her. She was a joy to work with the rest of the week. And you don't have to believe me on that one, dude, because Brittany is on the other line of this phone call right now wanting to talk to you.
Brooke
Oh, yeah, she's gonna call it all ugly
Brittany
real quick. I do. I. I want to talk about that. Like the elephant in the room.
Brooke
Yeah.
Luke
Oh, wow.
Bowen Yang
Okay.
Jeffrey
You know, Brittany, you never brought that up when we talked to you date before, which is.
Brooke
Honestly, it's worrisome because it means that you found it normal.
Brittany
Yeah, it is absolutely normal. I mean, I. Isn't it better to talk about them behind their back than in front of their face?
Jeffrey
What the.
Brittany
Right?
Luke
No. And also, you went way beyond that. I mean, you were just being so negative and critical of everyone, and I get that.
Brittany
Honestly, you need to shut your trap because I'm so sick of your this. That judgy, judgy, judgy.
Jeffrey
Oh, I'm the one who judging. She sounds stressed out again. Josh, maybe you need to invite her over. We know the trick.
Brooke
She needs to play another round of Hot or not with her coworkers. I'm scared when she's gonna vent about us. Oh, yeah, she's definitely going to be dropping into my DM talk all the crap you want.
Jeffrey
Well, Brooke, you do say a lot of unsavory things about people that work here in private.
Brittany
I know.
Bowen Yang
I'm not.
Brooke
I have never commented on someone normal.
Brittany
It's a normal thing. And if you create an environment for people to be able to do that, then people are going to do that.
Brooke
So it's their fault that they aren't to your standard of appearance, Brooks.
Jeffrey
Words.
Brittany
I mean, to be honest, yes, it is their fault.
Brooke
Oh, wow, that is so shallow, Brittany.
Brittany
And excuse me, you're the shallow one, Brooke, like everybody else saying that you talk so all the time.
Jeffrey
Jeff is joking. I mean, I'm definitely smiling.
Brittany
I'll say That I regret asking you to help me out with this. Brooke, I just. I knew you weren't going to be truthful about it. Like I just regret.
Brooke
I thought for sure you're going to call me ugly right then. I don't know why that would have felt better to me.
Jeffrey
Okay, Brooke, I would really appreciate if you stayed out of the second date and brought everybody down with your negativity. We need to focus on helping this couple reconcile and get together for another date. Because Josh, we would offer to send you out one more time and we would pay for it unless it ended up being back at your place.
Brittany
You know what? I'm not interested. This wasn't the way I thought things were going to be wrapped up and I'm not interested. I'm actually not even interested in this show anymore, so.
Jeffrey
Look what you did.
Luke
I know you seem quite interested things
Jeffrey
and I. Yeah, that's why she's calling me.
Brooke
Josh, you don't need to go all the way back to the quit while you're ahead. That wasn't the burn you thought it was.
Luke
I mean, look, I tried. I tried.
Brooke
I think she's always gonna be meaner than you. So I would just stop while you're back.
Jeffrey
Well, Brittany, hey, thanks again for being on with us and giving it a shot.
Brittany
Yeah, thanks for nothing. You can go screw up.
Jeffrey
Well, thank you. I think I'm gonna go do that.
Brooke
So at the wellness room here at the work is.
Jeffrey
That's all right. I'm gonna go in there and think about all my fat, ugly co workers. Just have a great time. Okay. Thanks, Britt. I'll join you if we fit.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
It's a party. Come on.

Brooke
Screw yourself.
Jeffrey
But I think we all agree that badmouthing your co workers is something you just don't do until date number three. Or until you're in a serious relationship with that person. At the very, very least, have you

Podcast: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Episode: Second Date Update Classics: The Rudy of Dating + Date Night Veto
Date: March 7, 2026
Host: iHeartPodcasts
Summary Prepared By: Expert Podcast Summarizer
This episode features two “Second Date Updates”—hilarious, awkward, and sometimes cringe-worthy calls where the hosts help listeners find out why their date didn’t call them back. The two spotlighted stories are titled "The Rudy of Dating," featuring Luke, a self-proclaimed underdog in the dating app world, and "Date Night Veto," centered on Brittany, whose candid attitude about her coworkers catches her date off guard. The episode is a masterclass in comedic banter, savage dating truths, and the risk-reward of modern romance.
(Starts at 04:22)
“I had to rizz it up… She asked me what I was up to and I’m like, I dunno, saving a cat from a tree. No big deal.” —Luke (06:03)
“All I would do is if I felt like I was kind of running out of some Riz, there was a little bit of like a lull in the conversation. I’d just excuse myself to the bathroom and one of them would meet me in there and we’d kind of game plan before I’d head back in.” —Luke (08:56)
“Some guys like, he’s so cute, I’d go out with him again.” —Claire describing the unsolicited comment from Luke’s friend (16:31)
“I guess I really appreciate your honesty. I do. Like, that’s kind of 100% pathetic.” —Claire (18:03)
“He did a terrible job of all of those things. And a terrible thing bringing his friends there.” —Brooke (22:30)
(Starts at 23:58)
“I think you can’t go over one. I think you get one veto, and then you start to look picky.” —Brooke (24:24)
“She pulls out her phone...and she’s basically showing me pictures of her coworkers and how fat and ugly they were. And just commentating one by one.” —Josh (34:03)
“Yeah, it is absolutely normal. I mean, isn’t it better to talk about them behind their back than in front of their face?” —Brittany (37:11)
“I’m actually not even interested in this show anymore, so…” —Brittany (39:19)
This episode perfectly showcases the show’s blend of empathy, real talk, and comedic roasting. Both second dates went off the rails for wildly different reasons—one from awkward over-preparation, the other from unfiltered negativity. The hosts deftly balance support with brutal honesty, and the real-time reactions—from both callers and hosts—make these segments gold for anyone who loves awkward dating tales.
