Episode Overview

In this hilarious and unexpectedly poignant installment, the team helps listener Jamie discover why her promising first date with Matthew ended in radio silence. What begins as a story about overcoming an unusual phobia quickly escalates (pun intended) into confessions about exes, age-gap relationships, and some unintentional disses. By the end, the real reason behind the ghosting is revealed—and it’s not what anyone expected.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Jamie’s Motivation for Dating Apps

• Jamie reveals she's on dating apps to regain confidence after recent breakups:
  • “I've just been trying to get myself back out there... I'm just trying to get my confidence back up. I don't really assume I'm going to fall in love immediately.” (05:05)
• Brooke is charmed by Jamie’s honest and lighthearted approach.

2. The Escalator Incident

• Jamie nearly cancels the date due to a severe phobia of escalators.
  • “The bar you picked is on the second floor, and you have to take an escalator there, and I have this phobia of escalators, basically.” (06:09)
• Reluctant to admit her fear to Matthew, Jamie asks him to hold her hand and closes her eyes while riding up:
  • “I just had him hold my hand while I sat on the elevator step and kept my eyes closed, and we rode up.” (07:19)
• Hosts empathize, share their own escalator fears, and joke about escalator horror stories.

3. Escalation of the Date (and Chemistry)

• Jamie and Matthew hit it off after the awkward start, bonding over a mutual, quirky love for JetBlue Airlines:
  • “It’s our favorite and they have the best in-flight entertainment.” (08:23)
• The night ends with Matthew asking Jamie out again—and her readily agreeing:
  • “At the end of the night, he even asked me if I wanted to meet up again. And I was like, yes, definitely.” (08:48)
• But after that, she hears nothing for a week.

4. The Confrontation Call: Why Did He Ghost?

• Jamie hasn’t reached out, hoping not to seem “obsessive or weird.”
• The team dials Matthew for the Second Date Update.
  • Brooke (11:52): “You're on a show right now, a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.”
• Matthew is caught off guard but willing to talk.
• When asked why he ghosted, Matthew points to Jamie’s parting comment as the dealbreaker:
  • “She paused...and she goes, ‘Sure, why not? My bar is pretty low anyways.’” (13:43)
• Matters get stranger: Jamie also quipped that she just got out of a relationship with an 80-year-old man:
  • “She goes, ‘Don't take it personal. I just got out of a relationship with an 80-year-old guy.’” (14:12)
• Matthew was thrown. He didn’t know how to interpret her cracks—or her history.

5. The Truth Comes Out

• Jamie, on the line, joins the call:
  • “Okay, so you're putting me down just because I dated an older man.” (15:49)
• Matthew retorts:
  • “No, I'm putting you down because you dated an ancient man who kicked you to the curb.” (15:54)
• Jokes fly, but the conversation gets a little real about dating motivations, money, and self-worth:
  • “Honestly Jamie, the optics are… you’re just doing it for money. That’s the only reason anyone would date an 80-year-old at your age.” – Jeffrey (16:41)
• Jamie insists it was neither about money nor lack of attraction:
  • “He was in great shape. Probably better than you, actually. And he was very active...” (16:23)
• Tension escalates before the hosts steer the conversation back.

6. Resolution (Or Lack Thereof)

• Jamie apologizes for her insensitive joke, explaining she wasn't feeling good about herself:
  • “I just gotten out of something; I wasn't feeling good about myself, so I made a bad joke.” (18:13)
• After the dust settles, neither Jamie nor Matthew wants another date:
  • “Are you asking if I want to go out with him again? You know, I don't.” – Jamie (18:54)
  • “Yeah, I'm good as well. She can have that 80 year old man hold her hand up the escalator.” – Matthew (19:08)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Escalator Fears
  • “If you can’t see it, it can’t hurt you.” – Brooke (07:30)
• On Age-Gap Relationships
  • “You’re rebounding from an 80-year-old? That must feel good.” – Brooke (14:21)
  • “She basically says the 80-year-old broke up with her so he could find someone who lives closer to him.” – Matthew (14:35)
• On Dating Motivation Stereotypes
  • “You could at least go with personality over body. That’s more believable.” – Jeffrey (16:53)
• On Second Date Update Realities
  • “Jamie, you're the one. You reached out to our show. That's super low in itself. You're meant to meet down at the bottom of the dating pool.” – Jeffrey (18:41)

The episode is a classic mix of humor and honest awkwardness. The hosts are playful but push for answers, while Jamie and Matthew’s dynamic oscillates between self-deprecating jokes and raw vulnerability.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I will admit I was a little judgy today in the second date update.

[Brooke]

Just today, huh?

[Jeffrey]

But seriously, what is she thinking? I really like your new comment quote, waste your pretty. I'm going to start using that. Yeah, don't waste your pretty. I use that all the time. Don't waste your pretty. All right, you'll understand what's going on here in a second because we got a brand new episode for you. But first, comments. Alan Jameson said, I'm so glad I found the podcast so late in the game. Yalls laughs and antics are the perfect thing to drown out the construction noises while at work.

[Brooke]

You thought you found it late so you can binge, huh?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Yeah. There it is. How loud you have to have us to not hear construction noises. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Like jackhammers.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Yeah. Or which one gives you a headache first? Yeah. You know, honestly. Hey, your brand new episode starts right now.

[Brooke]

Second date update. Something I've learned since I started working on this show is not everybody necessarily dates for true love. Oh, that's for sure.

[Jeffrey]

It was this show that had to teach you that. Not high school, college.

[Brooke]

No, I.

[Jeffrey]

Personal experience.

[Brooke]

No, I was very much in the Disney mindset. You go out to fall in love.

[Jeffrey]

I know. That's so cute. I just want to pat the top of your head.

[Brooke]

I learned some people date for just the free meal. Some people date because their horoscope told them to. Yeah, that's actually true. Some people date because their spouse wanted to try opening up the relationship. So now it's a table for three at the Rainforest Cafe. And that always works.

[Jeffrey]

Why are you at the Rainforest Cafe? Have you had their volcano dessert, bro?

[Brooke]

Sorry, those mango tango daiquiris cannot come fast enough. But they serve alcohol. They sure do. One of our listeners, Jamie, wrote us in her email saying she had a different reason for hopping onto the dating apps, and I'd like to find out what that is. Jamie, welcome to the show.

[Jamie]

Hey, how are you?

[Jeffrey]

Are you ready to shock Jeffrey? Yes.

[Brooke]

My whole world is about to be rocked. What is it that made you or who is it that made you get on the app?

[Jamie]

Yeah, I've just been trying to get myself back out there. I've been in a few relationships that didn't work out recently, and I'm just trying to get my confidence back up. I don't really assume I'm going to fall in love immediately, but, you know.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, that feels normal.

[Brooke]

Emotions just to, like, get back in. You're like, let's go on a day. Let's see what happens.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know. That confidence thing. Are you just waiting for enough compliments to come through before the confidence kicks in?

[Jamie]

Yeah, exactly.

[Brooke]

Okay, so did it work? Were you able to grab some confidence from somewhere?

[Jamie]

I mean, I did end up matching with this guy named Matthew on Hinge. Okay, so I was feeling good about that. And he had some really cute photos. He was kind of nerdy cute. Look, he's wearing glasses. Like, I was into it.

[Brooke]

All right, what did you do for your date?

[Jamie]

See, here's the thing. So the first date almost never happened, basically.

[Jeffrey]

Uh. Oh.

[Brooke]

Oh, no. Why?

[Jamie]

Okay, so we were going to meet up for happy hour. We get there, and I realize. I don't know if I can actually coincide or not.

[Brooke]

Why?

[Jamie]

Because the bar you picked is on the second floor, and you have to take an escalator there, and I have this phobia of escalators, basically. Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

Just by coincidence, you don't like moving stairs?

[Brooke]

Well, hey, I got my foot stuck in an escalator as a child. It was traumatic. So I understand.

[Jeffrey]

And you see those stories of, like, I'm sorry, I shouldn't add. Shouldn't add. My bad. But I know what you're saying. I've heard Crocs are really dangerous on them, too. That gets really.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah. See that in the way. Sorry, Jamie. Hopefully we're not triggering you with all these horror stories. We're really not trying to.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry.

[Jamie]

No, it's okay. I actually fell down one at the Mall of America when I was a kid, but it was going upward, so I just kind of kept falling.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God. That sounds so painful.

[Brooke]

Ye. I'm sorry to laugh. It is kind of a funny image, but I understand.

[Jeffrey]

So what do you do? You're on this date and you have to go to the second floor and you can't find an elevator. What do you do?

[Jamie]

Right. Obviously, I'm hesitating, and he sees me and he's like, what's wrong? And I didn't want to tell him because I didn't want him to think I was weird immediately or.

[Brooke]

No.

[Jeffrey]

What a weird situation. And it's your very first interaction. I know.

[Brooke]

So what did you do?

[Jamie]

I just had him hold my hand while I sat on the elevator step and kept my eyes closed and we rode up.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, good idea. Okay. Worried about falling.

[Brooke]

If you can't see it, it can't hurt you.

[Jeffrey]

Wow. Shame on that bar for not having a handicap entrance with. I bet there Was somewhere there.

[Brooke]

But you made it to the top of the escalator, right?

[Jamie]

Yes, I did. He helped me off. The drinks were great that we had. We ended up having a really good conversation after that. I thought he was just a really nice guy overall.

[Jeffrey]

I don't mean to rush things, but I'm so worried about you getting back down. Yeah.

[Jamie]

Yeah. I ended taking the stairs down, so.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, there were stairs? Yeah.

[Jamie]

The escalators are much more visible. Found the stairs later, thank God.

[Brooke]

After you were at the restaurant, you're like, there's the stairs. Got to delay the lane. Yeah, so sorry. Going back to the date though, with Matthew. Yeah, you said it was. You were having a good conversation. Like, what did you two bond over?

[Jamie]

We actually bonded over planes. Well, like the airline JetBlue in particular.

[Jeffrey]

Jet Blue. Why?

[Jamie]

Because it's our favorite and they have the best in flight entertainment. So we just talked about traveling and whatever our experiences and stuff.

[Brooke]

You can get bed sometimes. On a domestic flight.

[Jeffrey]

They fly to like four airports.

[Brooke]

I know it's New York pretty much. Hopefully no airports with escalators in them.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so you both love JetBlue. You've already, like, been vulnerable and shared a big fear with him, right?

[Jamie]

Yeah, I did. I opened up a little bit about it and he was pretty sweet about it. And at the end of the night, he even asked me if I wanted to meet up again. And I was like, yes, definitely.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow. He went for the second date ascat immediately.

[Jamie]

Yes. But after that there's been no follow through. And so I'm just like, what happened?

[Brooke]

And how long has it been since your date on the Second story?

[Jamie]

It's been about a week or so.

[Jeffrey]

And he hasn't reached out at all?

[Jamie]

No.

[Brooke]

Hopefully his phobia isn't actually following through with the second dates or he's just.

[Jeffrey]

Looking for first floor restaurants and having a hard time.

[Brooke]

Oh, maybe that's possible. Or he's scared of elevators and he's like, we could never be together again. So much could go wrong.

[Jeffrey]

I can't take the escalator. You can't take the elevator.

[Brooke]

Neither of us can get vertical. Oh, what a tough match. Hopefully we'll find out what. What's really going on when we call Matthew and try to escalate this to a second date. Okay, I did it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, one and done. No more.

[Brooke]

I have one too. No more puns as we continue for your second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update. If you'd never heard this story before, and I told You. A young woman sat on an escalator step holding her date's hand with her eyes shut tight. You'd probably think, huh, someone's about to get arrested here soon. Something's happening.

[Jeffrey]

But why? Why arrested?

[Brooke]

Well, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna explain it, but luckily that was not the case here. Our listener Jamie has an escalator phobia, but she beat it going to a happy hour with her date Matthew. And together they bonded over JetBlue airlines, of all things. You don't hear that one a lot on the first dates. More of a Delta guy myself.

[Jeffrey]

Jeff. Yeah, I feel like she's just dropping it in case something goes somewhere and they can get sponsored. And a trip.

[Brooke]

Nice plane.

[Jeffrey]

That's good.

[Brooke]

Looking dumb, smart, but it did bond them. And Matthew even asked her out again at the very end of the night. Yeah, great sign. Thing is, there's been no follow through since. So Jamie has now turned to us, asking if we can get involved.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, and Jamie, you said he hasn't reached out to you, but have you called or texted him? Sorry, not called. That would be gross, right, Alexa? My bad. Thirsty?

[Jamie]

No, I haven't. I was nervous because I was just anticipating him reaching out to me and I don't know, I didn't want to seem obsessive or weird, I guess.

[Brooke]

What if it's a big game of stalemate? Like you? Totally. I'm not gonna text her until probably is.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, I feel like that's how a lot of dating fizzles out. Well, good thing.

[Brooke]

Nothing weird about a radio show. Random calling and asking to cry into his life. That should go over totally. Fine. Smooth it all over.

[Jeffrey]

He doesn't have a fear of public speaking. I guess we'll find out soon.

[Brooke]

Let's see if he even answers. I'm going to dial his number right now. Here we go.

[Matthew]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Hey, is this Matthew?

[Matthew]

Yeah, this is he.

[Brooke]

Hey, man. Thanks for answering. You're on a show right now, a radio show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Matthew. Hi.

[Brooke]

Good morning.

[Matthew]

Hi.

[Jeffrey]

Kind of weird. Yeah.

[Brooke]

It probably doesn't happen to you every single day, I'm guessing, but it'd be.

[Jeffrey]

Wild if it did.

[Brooke]

Yeah, maybe once a month I could see it happening. But we're doing something called Second Date Update and we're trying to help out a listener of ours who went out with you recently and she's not heard from you since. A woman named Jamie.

[Matthew]

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, I remember that.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Remember cute Jamie? You asked her out On a date.

[Matthew]

Yeah, I remember Jamie. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah. So the deal is we've heard from Jamie about the night that you two hung out, and Jamie sounded like a really cool girl who really enjoyed your companionship when you went to the bar together.

[Jeffrey]

Such a formal way to word it.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I'm working on my vocabulary.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke. Yes.

[Brooke]

I'm sorry. I can dumb it down for the Idaho listeners in your hometown.

[Jeffrey]

Want to.

[Brooke]

I enjoy your extensive vocabulary.

[Jeffrey]

We like courtship where I come from.

[Brooke]

Yeah, sure. So that's kind of the situation. We're trying to help Jamie figure out if there's a reason why you two haven't met up again.

[Matthew]

I mean, I was having a pretty good time with her. Like, I. I was like 100% in. Like, on. On wanting to hang out again.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so when you asked her out at the end of the date, you were being sincere?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Matthew]

Yeah. Like, she was cool.

[Jeffrey]

It was.

[Matthew]

It was a good time. You know, the drinks were good there.

[Jeffrey]

That was your highlight. The drinks were good there. He was into it. Okay, so what happened?

[Brooke]

Yeah, something must have changed since then. Well.

[Matthew]

Well, it was the comment.

[Jeffrey]

The comment?

[Brooke]

What comment?

[Matthew]

Oh, so as we were saying goodbye, I asked her out and I said, hey, this has been really fun. Do you want to meet up again next weekend?

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Matthew]

She paused for a second and she goes, sure, why not? My bar is pretty low anyways.

[Jeffrey]

Whoa. Well, that had to have been a joke. Like, it just landed poorly. That's sad.

[Brooke]

Where's the joke in that?

[Jeffrey]

It's still not a good joke.

[Brooke]

I mean, it's. She should have been very sarcastic.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Was she trying to be funny? Like.

[Brooke]

Like, did you respond to that?

[Matthew]

Yeah. And I was like, what is that supposed to mean?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you did. You said that back. Okay, okay. And then she said, I'm just joking. Right?

[Matthew]

She goes, don't take it personal. I just got out of a relationship with an 80 year old guy.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Brooke]

Whoa, wait.

[Jeffrey]

Dang.

[Brooke]

You're rebounding from an 80 year old. That must feel good.

[Jeffrey]

Is that also a joke? I just want this all to be humorous. Yeah, true. Back to back. Yeah.

[Matthew]

It didn't sound like a joke to me.

[Brooke]

Oh, God.

[Matthew]

She basically says the 80 year old broke up with her so he could find someone who lives closer to him.

[Jeffrey]

What? Oh, wait. She got dumped by the. The senior.

[Matthew]

Exactly.

[Brooke]

Wow. What is going on? Good for that 80 year old for having standards.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, it makes you feel better she wasn't living in the same city as him, so maybe she didn't see him.

[Brooke]

I didn't get the impression the same city I've got the impression like she's three blocks away and that's too far for his hips.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Why on earth would she be in a relationship with an 80 year old man?

[Brooke]

That's a lot.

[Jeffrey]

Don't judge people, bro. I'm judging. Do you want real answers? I don't know.

[Brooke]

Not from Alexis. Okay, so that kind of explains a lot.

[Jeffrey]

And how are you lower than that? I am like offended for you.

[Matthew]

Yeah, I mean I. I felt pretty bad. I didn't know how to respond. And then also why would I want to go out with her after that?

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah, you gotta wait till you're 80.

[Jeffrey]

She didn't bring any of that up. Not the 80 year old, not the comment.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I feel like we should probably ask her about that because you don't know this Matthew, but Jamie has been quietly listening on the other line waiting to talk to you.

[Matthew]

Oh great.

[Brooke]

Yeah, Jamie.

[Jamie]

Okay, so you're putting me down just because I dated an older man.

[Matthew]

No, I'm putting you down because you dated an ancient man who kicked you to the curb.

[Jamie]

Okay, he's right.

[Jeffrey]

Absolutely. You cannot say older man when he's 80.

[Brooke]

Jamie, how did none of this come up when you were talking to us in the first part?

[Jamie]

I don't know, I didn't think about it. I wasn't talking about my exes, I was talking about the person I wanted to date.

[Jeffrey]

Now wait, do actually considered the 80 year old your ex? Because it just sounds like a deal that didn't work out.

[Jamie]

Yeah, no. Okay, listen. First of all, he was in great shape. Probably better than you actually. And he was very active and he liked to go out and do lots of things.

[Matthew]

Okay, like you went to the club. Did you have to change attendance? Balls on his walker.

[Jamie]

Okay, that's really mature.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I mean, honestly Jamie, the optics are. You're just doing it for money. That's the only reason anyone would date an 80 year old at your age.

[Brooke]

Well, she says he has a great body. She could be an old people.

[Jamie]

He respond honestly.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you could at least go with personality over body. That's more believable.

[Jamie]

I don't know why I'm getting judged for who I'm dating. Like it doesn't matter. It shouldn't matter. Age or religion or whatever, you know.

[Brooke]

Like, yeah, don't come after who she likes. Don't tell us what the old man's religion was because Brooke will go in.

[Jeffrey]

But I don't think it's very fair to Compare and say that the current date is worse than the 80 year old that you just dumped by. Like, I'm sorry, that was just me. But what if it was a joke or not? He didn't take it as one.

[Brooke]

Well, what if it wasn't a joke? What if he really was a step down?

[Jeffrey]

You don't say that to people, Joe.

[Brooke]

Okay, fine. If he was 60 years old, then it would be okay.

[Jeffrey]

I'm just really not into the dating for money thing, but whatever people need to do.

[Brooke]

She's not dating for money.

[Jeffrey]

Was he rich? We didn't ask.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I never even asked. Did she. Did he have money?

[Jamie]

No, he wasn't like rich. Like, I mean, he was fine.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

He only had two boats.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke.

[Brooke]

Depleted his whole 401k for.

[Jamie]

Nothing to do with that. Nothing to do with money.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, I think at the end of this is like, you were rude to Matthew, right? You said that you had already. Why not not go out with them? Your bar's already low. Like, that's a terrible thing to say to someone.

[Jamie]

Okay, fair enough. I was joking. Like I wasn't super serious. Like I was having fun on that date. I'm sorry. Like I just gotten out of something. I wasn't feeling good about myself, so I made a bad joke.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

And yeah, this conversation kind of got off the rails. It turned into like put downs, back and forth. And what we really need to focus on is true love. Okay, how can we save this right now? Yeah, I mean, Jamie, you said that you were lowering your bar. Maybe Matthew is also lowering the bar too. Jamie, you're the one. You reached out to our show. That's super low in itself. You're meant to meet down at the bottom of the dating pool.

[Jamie]

What are you asking? Are you asking if I want to go out with him again? You know, I don't.

[Jeffrey]

Now she's there.

[Brooke]

She's joking again. Yeah, classic.

[Jeffrey]

I don't think she is. I don't think she is.

[Brooke]

Okay, so Jamie has now rescinded her desire to go out with Matthew again.

[Matthew]

Y. Yeah, I'm good as well. She can have that 80 year old man hold her hand up the escalator.

[Jeffrey]

Ah, okay. Oh yeah, they're definitely gonna have to take the elevator.

[Brooke]

Sounds like he would carry her up the stairs based on how fit she described it. I can see both of them in a forever fall up an escalator. How sweet. Crooked Jeffrey.

You know, after everything we heard in that call, I just think it's awesome that 80 year olds are still trying to put themselves out there and meet people. That's inspiring. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it turned into us just roasting an 80 year old, but really, it's really impressive on his part.

[Brooke]

Yeah, half his age. I gave up already.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, it sucks for his grandkids that they're not going to get any of the inheritance, you know.

[Brooke]

Yeah, well, that's what I've learned. You're never too old to try and take risks. Especially when you're sliding into a 31 year old's DM shooting your shot shot with them. That is bravery as an octogenarian.

[Jeffrey]

And he knows how to use dms. Look at that. Impressive.

[Brooke]

Yeah, you're kind of turned on by him, aren't you?

[Jeffrey]

Alexa, he has to hold the phone really far away from his face in order to do it.

I mean, Brooke, if you're thinking about like the benefits of it as a young woman dating an old man, just imagine if you're in her shoes combining your rewards card savings with his senior discounts. You two could be ruling the world. Eating dinner at 3:30 every day for half off.

[Jeffrey]

I'm telling you couple, there is not enough discounts or savings in the world to waste your pretty on an 80 year old. It's just. It's just not.

[Brooke]

I mean honestly, unless the 80 year old's super hot. Yeah, let's agree on that.

[Jeffrey]

When have you ever seen a hot 80 year old?

[Brooke]

I'm pretty sure Tom Cruise is 80.

[Jeffrey]

Even the old golden bachelor wouldn't date somebody over 60. He ended up being creepy too. All right. Okay.

[Brooke]

Back off the old guys.

[Jeffrey]

That's okay.

[Brooke]
