Jeffrey
Thank you so much for being here. We don't normally do this, but you are really special to us. So Jose is going to give out his personal phone number right now.
Brooke
Okay. If you need to call him, so text 78592.
Jeffrey
Okay?
Brooke
That shows text board. If you're lonely, you can text us. I'm on it all night long.
Jeffrey
Okay?
Jose
You're on it more than your own phone texting, basically. I mean, it's a better way to.
Jeffrey
Reach him that's all we're saying. And don't Forget, we've got 45 more minutes. A full show, an hour long. Oh, my God. Can you take that much? If you want it, go for it. It's over at the Brooke and Jeffrey main podcast feed. But right now, we're all about the second date, so let's get it started.
Brooke
Second date update. Where's the worst place to take a woman on a first date?
Jose
The worst.
Brooke
Oh, my gosh. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Home of the second date update. Like a garbage dump.
Jeffrey
Are you gonna give us options? Because I have some ideas.
Brooke
Yeah, I mean, crematorium comes to mind. Oh, it's even worse than the gar. I don't. I would say, especially if you talked about having barbecue already that night, so. Oh, gosh, come on.
Jeffrey
Smoky flavor is always good, right?
Brooke
But there is something that might be worse than that.
Jeffrey
But there's no way. Jeff.
Brooke
Well, I was going to say Chernobyl, but you know what? Let's. Let's talk to our listener, Rhett, because he thinks he may have taken his date someplace pretty regrettable.
Jeffrey
I mean, that's all you have to do is come on our show, and you'll feel better by comparison. Yeah.
Brooke
Rhett, before we find out about this woman, just tell us the place that you took her.
Rhett
Yeah, I took her to my ex's house.
Brooke
Oh, God.
Jeffrey
Why are you. What? I have so many.
Brooke
Okay, yeah, we got to back up house.
Jeffrey
Not even, like, the restaurant where my ex works.
Rhett
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the bad idea now.
Brooke
Okay, it's good that you realize that. But let's go back and start from the beginning. Where did you meet this woman and what's her name?
Jeffrey
And not your ex.
Brooke
Not your one.
Rhett
You actually took out the girl that I took out. Her name's Kristen Athena. We met at a hiking club. Just a small group of people that get together and take hikes on the weekends.
Brooke
Let me guess. You reached for the same cashew in the bag of trail mix and your eyes locked.
Jeffrey
That's cute.
Brooke
Like cashews, too. You want this raisin?
Jeffrey
Yeah. How did you turn it from hiking to a date?
Rhett
Yeah, we're both cat people, so that's kind of how we came together a little bit on that.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
Okay. Bonded over cats, hiking and cat people talk on hikes. Yeah, that's true. So, I mean, you guys had a pretty good relationship then, probably before you actually moved into the romantic world, right?
Rhett
Yeah, I mean, we had tons of talks, and, I mean, I showed her Tons of pictures. My cat's name is Sorbet, so I set up a date at my house to help meet my cat.
Jeffrey
Okay. I like how you said your house. That's good.
Rhett
Yeah, we were gonna make pizzas at my place. I got a fancy pizza oven.
Jeffrey
Nice.
Rhett
So we wanted to do that, introduce her to the cat. She looked real nice. We didn't burn anything. That's usually a good sign.
Jeffrey
I mean, were you able to have. Because you guys had been friends already, were you able to have, like, some.
Brooke
Flirty moments, like, come up behind her and knead the pizza? Like, show her. Like, grab her hands and show her. Show her how to toss it.
Rhett
Yeah, we had, like, a little ghost moment with the pizza dough.
Jeffrey
Do not say you did that.
Rhett
I'm just kidding. Yeah, it was still flirty. A little flour getting everywhere, but nothing crazy.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
All right. That's cute. I mean, it sounds like a setup to a great evening.
Brooke
Yeah, it sounds like a great setup to go over to your ex's house, because how does that come into the picture?
Rhett
So, I mean, I kept calling for the cat. The cat likes to hide when new people are there, so I figured they needed a little bit of time to get used to her and.
Jeffrey
Right. I mean, cats notoriously don't come when you call them. Yeah. You know.
Brooke
Right.
Rhett
And then I remembered that I actually had dropped the cat off at the cat moms that morning.
Jeffrey
What?
Brooke
Wait, you remembered you and your ex split custody of your cat?
Rhett
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was kind of a contentious part of the breakup there, but, I mean, we're good now.
Jeffrey
How could you forget that? It was the whole date center. I mean, that makes you look so bad. You're a cat dad that doesn't remember where he left his cat.
Rhett
I had a pretty busy day, and it slipped my mind. I mean, I had other things to worry about.
Brooke
Okay, that is a lot to tackle. Both pepperoni and cheese. So I can understand. Understand? Your head was totally full. I still don't get how did you end up at your ex's house?
Rhett
So right after we ate, I was pretty disappointed that she couldn't meet Sorbet.
Jeffrey
Yeah, okay. Yeah, but just chalk it up and you make a plan for the next time, right?
Rhett
Yeah, I wish I would have done that. That's a good point. On our way home, I just figured I'd swing by my exes and introduce her to Sorbet.
Jeffrey
Taking her home.
Brooke
You brought Chris Christina over to your ex's house? Oh, no.
Rhett
It sounds really bad when you say.
Jeffrey
It like that you didn't warn either woman. So you're gonna show up unexpectedly with a date on your ex's door, and Christina doesn't even know that's where she's going.
Rhett
Yeah, but usually my ex is pretty cool if I need to swing by and see the cat, you know, alone.
Jose
Probably.
Brooke
Yeah. How did that go?
Rhett
Oh, so, I mean, when. When we showed up, it was fine, but I could kind of tell that she wasn't really digging it. Really happy that we showed up to see the cat.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Really?
Jeffrey
Yeah. Shocking.
Brooke
I can see why you. You guys broke up. She's not. Not an accepting woman. Yeah.
Jeffrey
That's it.
Rhett
Yeah, it was a lot of silence and petting the cat on the couch, and it was real awkward. She was just staring at my date the whole time.
Jeffrey
You were all sitting on the couch together. Why did I imagine this just at a doorstep? You know what I mean? Like, say hi to the cat, then.
Brooke
Everybody parts like a scene to a funny movie.
Jeffrey
You're insane side.
Brooke
Okay, so you guys all spent the night at your ex's house, and then when you left the next morning, how did that go?
Rhett
That didn't happen. Thank God.
Brooke
Okay, good.
Rhett
The whole time ended in, like, a real big fight.
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
A fight? With who? You and the ex or what?
Brooke
You and the cat?
Rhett
Everybody kind of ended up shouting. Yeah, Christina didn't like that my ex was being rude. My. My ex didn't like that I brought a girl there. It was. It was a whole thing.
Jeffrey
Okay, why are you wanting to call this girl again? Christina doesn't want to have anything to do with you.
Rhett
Yeah, but you're show says you help people get second dates, and we do.
Brooke
The impossible miracle workers over here, but.
Jeffrey
Oh, my gosh. Can I just ask, when you drop Christina off at her door, what was the last thing she said to you?
Rhett
She actually gave me the finger, but I don't think she meant it.
Brooke
If it's a finger that I'm thinking of, then it could be a good thing. Was the wrong finger trying to go for the ring.
Jose
I also love that she didn't Uber. She still took the ride and then flipped you off.
Brooke
Wow.
Rhett
She was emotional. Now that we've had some space, it's been about a week or so, I figured we could give it another shot and you guys could help me out.
Brooke
Guys, at least this will be a great story, right? I'm very eager to hear how Christina felt the experience went.
Jeffrey
This woman's gonna be cussing.
Brooke
We don't know. We're gonna call her. We'll see how she's doing when we do your second date update. Right after this second date update. What went wrong on Rhett's first date? Gosh, little hard to say.
Jeffrey
Who knows, Jeff?
Brooke
Because there was pizza.
Jeffrey
Oh, that's good.
Brooke
There was cute cats and the one tiny mistake. And when I say tiny, I mean, like, minuscule. There was kind of a fight at his ex's house that involved him, his date, and his ex girlfriend, resulting at the end in a certain finger being pointed at Rhett when he dropped Christina off at home. It wasn't a proposal with the wedding ring.
Jeffrey
It wasn't the index finger.
Brooke
Other than that, though, a plus date, really. Rhett, you would agree, right?
Rhett
Yeah. Other than all of that, I guess it was fine.
Brooke
Good.
Jeffrey
The date was good.
Brooke
Okay. Okay.
Jeffrey
Wait. I have a question. Have you had a chance to apologize to Christina?
Rhett
Well, that's the biggest thing is I just haven't seen her in the hiking group at all. And it's not often you get to go from friends into dating, so I just. I didn't want to mess that up.
Jeffrey
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Brooke
And I don't necessarily.
Jeffrey
I'm sure.
Brooke
I don't necessarily think you're the one who needs to apologize. It sounds like your ex girlfriend owes her more of an apology for not being cool about this.
Jeffrey
No, he needs to apologize to both women.
Brooke
Jeffrey, I don't know what started the fight.
Jeffrey
You cannot bring ex's house. You can't bring a date to your ex's house, especially unannounced.
Jose
I don't know what who does that.
Brooke
I'm just clearly Red is somebody that wants everybody to get along. Feels like you should be able to move past ex grievances. The ladies. I don't know why you guys are holding onto this like it's a big deal.
Jose
Your ex shows up at your house today.
Brooke
I don't have one. Joke's on you. All right. But we don't know the whole story. We have a hunch of. Of what went wrong. We need to get Christina's angle to really understand the full scope of this.
Jeffrey
I can't wait to hear her story. And the thing is, is that you actually sound like a really nice guy that just made dumb choices.
Rhett
Yeah, I'm just a really nice guy who made one dumb choice and I told you the whole story.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
Yeah, but her perspective is going to be interesting. Yeah.
Brooke
Yeah. Perspective. Well, let's find out what that is. I'm going to dial her right now. Hopefully she has nothing but good things to say about you.
Jeffrey
Or she doesn't just cuss at us and hang up.
Brooke
Okay, we'll see how this goes. I'm dialing her. What if she flips us off as she ends, answers the phone?
Jeffrey
We won't be able to see it.
Brooke
We'll be able to feel it, though. Here we go.
Christina
Hello?
Brooke
Hey, is this Christina?
Christina
Yeah.
Brooke
Hey, Christina. Hi. Good morning. Good morning. We've all been very eager to talk to you. We're a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and I don't even know where to begin, honestly.
Jeffrey
Hi, Christina. How are you doing?
Christina
Fine. What is this?
Brooke
Yeah, this is a radio show, and we're doing a segment trying to help out one of our listeners that you went on a date with recently. His name is Rhett.
Christina
What?
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Yeah. Yeah.
Jeffrey
I mean, actually, that's a better response than I expected from you, to be honest.
Brooke
Yeah, I'm being serious because we heard about your guys's hangout. We won't rehash the whole story.
Christina
Wait a second. Rhett called you?
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Yeah, he emailed us.
Christina
Why is he doing that?
Brooke
Well, obviously, because he likes you. Yeah, he wants a date.
Jeffrey
Well, I mean, not just that. Like, you guys were friends in the hiking group, and then. And then you had one date, and he knows he screwed it up.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Can I just hear the story? Like, I want to hear from your perspective. Like, you show up to his ex's house. Did you know that's where you were going?
Christina
No. He was like, oh, I've got something to show you. I really want you to see that.
Brooke
Oh, I've fallen for that line before.
Jeffrey
Yikes.
Brooke
We all have Jasmine. Okay.
Christina
I mean, at first I just thought it was, like, his friend or something. I didn't realize it was his ex. And then we get into this argument. She called me a whore.
Brooke
Oh, God. Oh, God. Wait, don't repeat it.
Jeffrey
But what. Wait, how do you go from Petty the cat to that?
Christina
Get some major insecurity issues or something? Because she was like, well, do you know what he likes? Because I know what he likes.
Brooke
Oh, God. Okay, we did not know that part of the story.
Christina
Yeah, like I said, she yelled at me and called me a.
Jeffrey
Wait, what did Rhett do? Yeah, he was halfway.
Christina
Yeah, he was yelling back at her. It was just. It was so dramatic. And this is the first date.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Okay, I'm gonna tell you on the 32nd date. That would not be okay.
Brooke
Look, I know that we all feel terrible about that. Rhett feels sorry for even making the decision to bring you over there.
Jeffrey
Yeah. I mean, he honestly sounds like a nice guy that made a dumb choice.
Christina
I don't know. He lied to me, too.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
He lied just that, like, about bringing you over there to introduce you to his cat?
Christina
No, before that. So I knew him from hiking. Like, we hiked together with, like, a group, and we were talking about our cats, and he told me that sorbet is 5 and my cat is 5 2. So I was like, oh, that's cool. They're the same age. But then his ex told me that sorbet is nine.
Jeffrey
Oh, cat age.
Jose
I don't know how old my cat is.
Jeffrey
I think we should probably just come straight. The argument with the ex and the.
Christina
Name calling, what was a five year difference? That's crazy.
Brooke
Okay, that was worse to you than the argument that broke out between the three?
Christina
Honestly, I think that he lied about his cat's age on purpose. I think he was trying to say that it was the same as my cat so that they would get along.
Brooke
Okay. I mean, we do hear a lot of people lying about their age on dating apps to impress somebody. Not usually lying about their cat's age to impress each other, but.
Christina
Well, yeah, but, like, that's important to me.
Rhett
I have something to say here.
Jeffrey
Oh, okay.
Brooke
You shut your mouth, you liar. I really hope you would, because we need to tell you, Christina, that Rhett's been on the other line listening to this call, wanting to clearly speak and hopefully apologize.
Rhett
Well, yeah, I mean, I'm gonna apologize for the fight, but not. Not for my cat being a different age. I mean, those are just details.
Christina
Well, you might not think that's important, but I do. I don't have kids. I'm not planning on having kids anytime soon. My cat is my world. Like, I don't want my cat to be the little second sidekick cat because you have this older, leader, mean cat.
Rhett
Well, maybe if your cat was more mature, it'd be okay hanging out with my older cat.
Christina
Okay, My cat is plenty mature.
Brooke
Oh, God, it sounds like it wears a top hat. I don't know what we're fighting about. Really?
Jeffrey
I don't get it either. I thought we'd really be concentrating on the name calling the ex's house here.
Christina
Well, that wasn't cool. But neither is lying about the age of your cat. Why would you do that? Why would you lie about anything like that?
Brooke
That is tr.
Jeffrey
The ex is lying.
Rhett
Yeah, I mean, my ex wasn't lying about that. He is nine. And then if. If that's the only thing standing in the way of this. I mean, we can always go get a five year old cat.
Brooke
Okay.
Jose
There are a lot of cats that.
Jeffrey
Need adopted, especially the older ones.
Brooke
I like the problem solving. That's a positive.
Christina
So my cat's a third wheel now. That's great.
Jeffrey
What? I am so confused at what you're upset at.
Advertiser 1
Yeah.
Brooke
You find very interesting things important for your dating life.
Christina
You gotta think of it from my perspective. If this does work out and we're together now, we've got two full time cats and one part time cat that we're shuffling back and forth between his ex who thinks I'm a.
Jeffrey
What? Oh, between the ex who thinks you're. Yeah, I mean, I could see that part. But I mean it's nine. It's not like you're gonna have to do it for many years. I'm just saying times like.
Rhett
I take offense to that because my cat may be nine, but she looks seven at worst.
Brooke
Plus we don't know how many lives it has left. It could have all nine. Nine left.
Jeffrey
But we are really stuck on this.
Brooke
I know she's very upset that she got cat catfished. Yeah, that's the big issue. I think it's fish catted.
Jeffrey
I think it's just catfish.
Christina
It is. You did cat catfish me.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
We're going with the double catfish, right?
Brooke
You're very sorry, right? Tell her how sorry you are for doing that.
Rhett
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm. I'm very sorry for telling you the wrong age of my cat. And I mean, going forward, I. I swear I won't lie to you about something like that.
Jeffrey
Something like that. Why would you add that? Why would you just say I swear I would not lie to you about anything.
Brooke
About anything.
Rhett
Well, because that's like super important. I want her to know how important it is that I'm taking her her cat age. Very importantly, I won't lie at all.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
I mean, honestly, Christina, he is taking it into account and I think a lot of people would not be so patient.
Brooke
Brooke is basically saying team Rhett. Team Rhett. And so we would like to offer to send you out on another date with him. And we would pay for it.
Christina
I don't know.
Brooke
Two cats, three cats, one cat. No cat. Whatever. However many cats you want or don't want on it. You can cafe.
Jeffrey
Yeah. And find a five year old one.
Brooke
Perfect.
Christina
Well, I doubt he wants to go out again with a.
Jeffrey
Hate that word.
Brooke
Rhett, what do you think?
Rhett
I mean, as long as the price Is right. I guess we could do it.
Jeffrey
Okay, I know it's a joke, but let's not.
Rhett
I'm. I'm kidding. Obviously, I would. I would love to have a second try at this.
Brooke
Yes. You went through all this effort to make this happen, and we're running out of time here. So what do you say, Christina? One more date with Rhett? I need a yes or a no.
Christina
Fine. Yeah, whatever.
Brooke
It's a romantic fight. Are you down? She just said fine.
Rhett
Yeah, she's still emotional. She'll get over it. I'm okay with fine.
Jeffrey
I'm sorry, but are we miracle workers? Because that is insane.
Brooke
Yes. We should take all the credit for this. You're right. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You know what really makes me happy? Hearing someone regrettably agree to go out on a date again.
Jeffrey
Fine, Jeff.
Brooke
Fine. They're gonna look back and listen to this on their wedding day right before Christina turns to the pastor and is like, oh, fine. I do.
Jeffrey
Yeah, well, pretty sure the ex is gonna show up to that wedding.
Brooke
Yeah. I just hope the cats show up.
Jeffrey
I don't think anybody's showing up.
Jose
I think he's gonna.
Jeffrey
Their house. At the ex's house.
Brooke
It's a good reminder that everybody. Everybody values different things in their relationships. And for Christina, she values honesty about your cat's real age. That's number one on the relationship. I mean, baby could have still been dating the ex. She's like, I don't care about that.
Jeffrey
Around number five is ex name calling.
Brooke
There you go. Yes, it still mattered to her, just not quite as high. Everyone's got different priorities, and we know that now. So whatever is important to you, we will call that person who's not calling you back. Email the show so we can help and go check out all of our second day podcasts wherever you get yours at.

Podcast Summary: Brooke and Jeffrey – Second Date Update: Date Night Detour
Episode Release Date: February 24, 2025
In the "Second Date Update: Date Night Detour" episode of Brooke and Jeffrey, the hosts delve into the intricate dynamics of modern dating through the unfortunate mishap of a listener named Rhett. The episode offers an engaging exploration of expectations versus reality in first dates, emphasizing the significance of honesty and communication.
The episode kicks off with Brooke introducing Rhett's situation, setting the stage for a relatable and cautionary tale about first-date blunders. Rhett, a member of a hiking club, met Christina through their mutual love for cats. Their budding romance seemed promising, with Rhett planning a cozy evening to introduce Christina to his cat, Sorbet.
Brooke [04:09]: "You reached for the same cashew in the bag of trail mix and your eyes locked."
Rhett meticulously planned the date: making pizzas at his house equipped with a fancy pizza oven and showcasing his beloved cat. However, the evening took a disastrous turn when Rhett forgot a crucial detail—he only shared custody of Sorbet with his ex-girlfriend. This oversight led him to inadvertently bring Christina to his ex's residence.
Rhett [06:00]: "I had a pretty busy day, and it slipped my mind."
Brooke [06:15]: "That's a lot to tackle."
Upon arriving at his ex's house, the situation quickly deteriorated. Christina was unaware of Rhett's ongoing arrangement with his ex, leading to an uncomfortable and tense atmosphere. The ex reacted negatively to Rhett bringing a new date into her space, sparking an argument that left both Rhett and Christina in distress.
Christina [13:03]: "She called me a whore."
Brooke [07:34]: "A fight? With who? You and the ex or what?"
Christina expressed her frustration over Rhett's dishonesty regarding Sorbet's age, highlighting how such deceit can undermine trust in budding relationships. Her strong attachment to her own cat made the misrepresentation particularly significant, as she values honesty and transparency deeply.
Christina [15:16]: "My cat is my world. Like, I don't want my cat to be the little second sidekick cat because you have this older, leader, mean cat."
Brooke and Jeffrey took an active role in mediating the situation by bringing Christina onto the show. Through open dialogue, Rhett acknowledged his mistake, apologizing for lying about his cat's age and the ensuing chaos his actions caused.
Rhett [17:06]: "I'm very sorry for telling you the wrong age of my cat. And I mean, going forward, I swear I won't lie to you about something like that."
Demonstrating their commitment to helping listeners find success in their relationships, Brooke and Jeffrey proposed arranging a second date for Rhett and Christina, covering the expenses to facilitate a fresh start. Although Christina was initially hesitant, she agreed to give Rhett another opportunity.
Christina [18:00]: "Fine. Yeah, whatever."
The episode concludes with insightful reflections on the importance of honesty and clear communication in relationships. Brooke and Jeffrey emphasize that differing priorities and values can lead to misunderstandings, as seen in Rhett and Christina's experience. They encourage listeners to prioritize transparency and address issues proactively to foster healthier relationships.
Brooke [19:11]: "Everybody values different things in their relationships. And for Christina, she values honesty about your cat's real age. That's number one on the relationship."
"Second Date Update: Date Night Detour" serves as a compelling reminder of the pitfalls that can arise from seemingly minor oversights in dating. Through Rhett and Christina's story, Brooke and Jeffrey highlight the critical role of honesty and the courage to rectify mistakes in building meaningful connections. The episode not only entertains but also educates listeners on navigating the complexities of modern romance.
