This is Sophie Cunningham from Show Me Something. Do you know the symptoms of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA in adults with obesity? They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snored loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability and concentration issues, it may be due to osa. OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep, which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation. Learn more at don'tsleep on OSA.com this information is provided by Lily, a medicine company.
Paul
So let me get this straight.
Jose
Your company has data here, there and.
Brooke
Everywhere, but your AI can't use the data because it's here, there and everywhere?
Jose
Seems like something's missing. Every business has unique data.
Brooke
IBM helps your AI access your data wherever it lives to change how you do business. Let's create smarter business.
Jeff
IBM.
Jose

But today the woman on our second date update got the most extravagant gift I think we've ever heard of on this show. Definitely creative. Well. Yep, that too. You're gonna hear it in just a second. But you know, we love to start our brand new episodes with of course, your comments. Cause you're the star of our show.
Jeff
Yeah.
Brooke
Yes. Oh, okay. This one was fun. Funny. Someone said, is this radio station too good for cameras in their studios? Okay. But then the funny one is French Blue Hen said, I'd rather not see what they look like that early in the morning.
It's really funny. Fair enough. Yeah. I mean we do have some videos. Not everything is videotaped because we can't afford a video team, but we do have some videos and you can see them up on our YouTube page and on our socials at Brooke and Jeffrey and be disappointed in how we look. Yeah, it is the morning, so. Okay, give us a. Yeah, it is our faces. So your brand new second date starts right now.
Jeff
Second date update. I feel like we always debate this every couple months or so.
Jose
Okay.
Jeff
Are flowers okay to bring on a first date? Is it too cute or just looking at Alexis's face right now, Is it a major ick?
Brooke
I just think it shows age. I think the older you are, it's okay. Wow. Or young wow. I don't know. No, high schoolers are like older. Oh my God. Yeah.
Jose
Okay.
Brooke
High schoolers are above 30. I think it's okay. Huh.
Jeff
Does that offend you, Brooke?
Brooke
No, I think it depends on the type of flower is what I was thinking. Oh, good point too. You don't want to get 12 roses like that's. Whoa.
Jose
Once every 100 years.
Brooke
The stinky one.
Jeff
Jose, you pro flowers on a first date?
Jose
I am, but I think one. I think it's safe to bring one.
Brooke
Single flower that you pick from somebody's yard on the way over. Yeah, a key. That's a key.
Jose
It's fresh.
Jeff
As long as it's semi alive.
Paul
Yeah.
Jeff
And I only ask cuz one of our listeners, Sarah, says she got a gift on her first date. Better than flowers.
Brooke
Oh.
Jose
Ooh. There are gifts better than flowers.
Brooke
What is it?
Jeff
According to her? And she can't let it go. Sarah, welcome to the show. And tell us what's the name of the guy you met and when was your first date?
Sarah
So his name is Paul, and our date happened about a month ago.
Brooke
Whoa, that's a long time.
Jose
Yeah.
Brooke
Why did you wait so long to reach out to us if you're having issues getting a hold of him?
Sarah
Well, I don't know. I was just hopeful he would reach back out to me, and he just hasn't.
Brooke
Okay, Your patient saying he hasn't.
Jeff
He hasn't been in contact that entire stretch. For the whole month?
Sarah
Yeah. After I thanked him for the date, he responded with a couple of texts like, this is my pleasure for the prettiest girl in the world.
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Jeff
Alexis has an issue with that statement. She's.
Brooke
This isn't about me. Yeah, not my segment. Are you trying to argue that you're the prettiest girl in the world? Is that what you're trying to say?
Jeff
You have some competition here.
Brooke
Not my segment, okay?
Jose
I mean, if every guy tells her.
Jeff
It'S got to be, it's got to be true. Well, that's. That is a nice thing for him to write back to you after your date. So what's happened? What's happened in between?
Sarah
So Paul actually gave me the sweetest gift. Very thoughtful. I mean, something no guy's ever done before.
Jeff
Where was it?
Sarah
He picked me up for the date, and instead of taking me to a bar or someplace to get drinks, we drove out to this area of the city where you can really see the night sky.
Brooke
Oh, this scares me. Okay. Don't leave the city limits on a first date, Alexis.
Jeff
Remember, it's not about you.
Brooke
I know, but that's actually a good safety tip. I'm not gonna lie.
Jose
You know what? Alexis is proving her point. An old couple used to drive up on a mountain and go to Makeout Point. Yeah, sure, on first date.
Brooke
Nowadays, it's not the same because their parents knew each other in the old days.
Jose
You know what I mean?
Brooke
Like, that was some rando on the Internet.
Jeff
Sarah, clearly this is a unique situation. We don't usually hear about stuff like this on this segment, so keep going. He was driving you out to a dark area of the city. And what happened?
Brooke
No cell service.
Jeff
Yeah.
Sarah
So he brought out a telescope, put it on the hood of his car, and pointed it at the sky. And then I looked through the scope and he said, I bought that star for you.
Jose
Oh, that's cute.
Jeff
Bought you a star?
Sarah
Yeah, I mean, I looked at it. The certificate with my name on it, and it says the coordinates of it, and it's officially registered with the National Space Registry.
Brooke
Oh, wow.
Jeff
And what did he name it the.
Jose
Most beautiful star star in the universe.
Sarah
He named it Sarah Star.
Brooke
The other one was taken.
Jose
That's Alexis's star.
Jeff
That's cute. Much better than a bouquet of flowers.
Brooke
So that is unique. I'll say. That's pretty wild because that's the first, what, half hour of your date?
Jeff
Yeah. How did you react when he showed you the certificate?
Sarah
I mean, I thought it was so sweet, I almost cried.
Jeff
Wow.
Brooke
So you love the romance and he was reading it. Right.
Jose
You know, so what happened?
Sarah
And then he took out some tequila and we cheered. Then we kind of fooled around a little bit.
Brooke
Oh, yeah.
Jose
You did a great day.
Jeff
What else do you do in the dark area of time? You make out under your own scar.
Brooke
That's a supernova.
Jeff
Okay. Wow, this sounds like it's going really, really good.
Paul
Yeah.
Sarah
I mean, it was the most magical thing. No guy has ever done that for me before. Not even boyfriends. And it was so special.
Brooke
I love that all this happened. But were you able to. I know that you felt flattered, cared for, but, like, were you able to connect with him? Like, did you guys talk at all.
Jeff
Or did you go somewhere else afterwards? After the star viewing?
Brooke
After the miracle social? Yeah.
Sarah
No, after we were done, he took me home. What I mean by heart was fluttering.
Brooke
Did you want the night to continue? Like, go to dinner?
Sarah
Of course. Of course. But I didn't want to give him an impression that I was just there for one thing. And he said he couldn't wait to see me again. And that's been almost 30 days, so I'm hoping you could help me.
Jose
That's wild. It was such a good day.
Brooke
Okay, that is really weird.
Jose
You're on the same page.
Jeff
Yes. Especially for a guy who's like, pouring it on so thickly.
Jose
Can't think of anything here.
Jeff
Yeah. Is there anything that's going through your mind about maybe something that went wrong?
Sarah
I really can't even think of anything. I thought it would. Perfect.
Jose
Okay.
Brooke
I can't. I just can't imagine a guy having this be his shtick just so he can make out with some girls in a car. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Jose
You could do it, though, because, what.
Jeff
Is it, $20 a star or something like that?
Brooke
Then he's for sure might be doing it a lot.
Jose
I don't know, like the West.
Brooke
I know, but it's not like he stayed the night. You know what I mean? Like, take advantage. Everything you're saying, it feels like a very sincere interaction.
Jeff
Yes. That's why we are really Eager to jump on the phone and help you. Hopefully track this guy down and get you some answers about why he's not meeting up after 30 whole days.
Brooke
This is so romantic. It's like written in the stars, Jeff. Oh, no.
Jeff
That's a little cheesy, but I'll take it. We're gonna do it with your second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update? Brooke, look up in the sky. Do you see it? It's a bird. No, it's a plane.
Brooke
What is it, Jeff?
Jeff
No, it's a star I bought for you.
Brooke
Aww.
Jose
Jim bought a star?
Jeff
Those were the words our listener Sarah heard on her date when Paul surprised her with a star that he'd purchased in her name.
Brooke
It's Sarah's star.
Jeff
Sarah's star forever. But ever since that magical date with moonbeams and makeouts and tequila, she has not seen Paul again. And we are here to try and help her find out why.
Brooke
And she's given him plenty of time to come around. A full month. A full month has gone by.
Jose
Let me ask you, have you been hitting him up at all or you're just letting it marinate?
Sarah
Yeah, I mean, we had a couple of back and forth, but I just can't get them out of my head.
Brooke
That'd be the bearer of bad news. But stars do die. I don't know if you guys know that.
Jeff
Oh, wow.
Brooke
Wow.
We don't know because there's so many light years away. We could be looking at stars that are already dead.
Jose
Oh, you're right. Because it takes so long for the light to reach Earth.
Brooke
I had to take astronomy twice because I didn't do very good in the first.
Jose
Brooke, put it on. So cool.
Jeff
Put it on your tombstone. We don't need to hear it.
Brooke
Okay?
Jeff
Let somebody else read about it. Sarah, some of us are optimistic about this call, but let's see if Paul answers the phone. I'm going to dial his number right now. You ready to do this?
Sarah
Thank you guys so much. Yes, I'm ready.
Jeff
Okay. Okay, here we go. Let's make magic happen.
Paul
Hello?
Jeff
Hey, is Paul there?
Paul
Speaking. Who's this?
Jeff
Hey, man. My name is Jeff from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Brooke
Hey, Paul. Hi. Welcome.
Jose
Good morning.
Paul
Are you serious?
Brooke
Oh, you know the show?
Paul
Absolutely.
Jeff
Oh, well, we appreciate you listening.
Brooke
This is awkward.
Jeff
Yeah, no, we don't normally get this, so this is actually better. That means if you listen. You probably have heard these before. We do these segments called Second Date Update. Yeah, because someone reached out about You. Somebody that you haven't seen for almost an entire month.
Brooke
But, man, did you guys have a romantic night.
Jeff
Yeah. Her name's Sarah.
Paul
Say that name again.
Brooke
Oh. Oh.
Jeff
Phone broke up, maybe Sarah.
Paul
Oh, okay. Sarah.
Jeff
Okay.
Paul
Yeah, I think so.
Brooke
You think so? No, Sarah like Sarah Star. Maybe.
Jose
Because it was a month ago.
Jeff
Yeah. Do you know who we're talking about?
Paul
No, but I know the show.
Sarah
What do you mean?
Paul
I know the show, though. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.
Jeff
I do agree it is more important that you know our show. So I'm with you there, but you.
Jose
Can always revert to that.
Brooke
You joking? Maybe he's joking.
Paul
No. I always knew that this would come back to bite me, but this is.
Jose
This would come back. What is.
Jeff
What are you talking about?
Paul
All right, but look, before I say any more, you guys got to tell me what you know about this.
Brooke
Oh, no. Experience. The whole bit.
Jeff
We'll play the game. So Sarah told us that she went out on, like, the date of a lifetime with you.
Paul
Yeah, she did.
Brooke
You don't even remember her.
Jeff
She told us that your date together was unlike any other guy she's ever been with. You did something so special for her and took her to a place in the city where you could see the night sky.
Paul
Oh, yeah, exactly. I crushed it.
Brooke
Okay, Right. Is this, like, the routine? It's feeling like the routine.
Paul
I have this dialed in. I know exactly what to do if you tell a girl, hey, I got a surprise for you. And then you print out a certificate, you show them where it is, you get the tequila, and the next thing you know, you're making out.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeff
Did you not really buy it?
Jose
There's a real website to really buy it.
Brooke
Just Photoshop that certificate. That's what it sounds like.
Jeff
Seriously? You didn't purchase the star?
Paul
Yeah, don't tell anybody. Of course I'm not going to spend 20 bucks for a star. I can get 50 certificates for 15 bucks.
Brooke
I mean, Brooke said they die anyway, so. He's kind of smart.
Jeff
Okay.
Brooke
I just don't get why, like, you go on first dates with all these different women for. What? What's the.
Paul
You sound exactly like a woman thinks.
Jeff
Yeah, that's weird, bro.
Paul
My goal is to make out with as many women as possible and get as far as I can with as little money and effort as I can pull off.
Jeff
You got to start thinking like a man.
Brooke
You know what? I had that same goal at a lot of different bars in college, so I actually understand it.
Jose
Bro, for a moment, I thought maybe you were out Here. Teaching women how they should be treated right. Maybe you're setting an example for other men.
Paul
Yeah. Look, any dude can try this. It's not that hard.
Jeff
It just sounds like a lot of efforts.
Brooke
Well, I just. Yeah, but do you have any remorse of, like, leading them on?
Paul
Yeah, how am I leading them on? I said let's go on a great date. I got a surprise. I delivered the surprise. I got the tequila. We made out.
Jeff
Okay, Paul, you know, you're running your thing and you're happy with it. That's fine. You've said enough, though, because I need you. Obviously know Sarah's been on the phone this whole time and she heard everything that you just said.
Paul
What? She's listening? I don't listen to you guys all the time.
Brooke
Oh, like you didn't know?
Jeff
Okay. Sarah, are you there?
Brooke
Are you okay?
Sarah
Yeah, I'm here, Paul. Like, how could you do that to me?
Paul
Oh, Sarah, I'm so sorry. I had no idea that you were listening.
Sarah
Okay?
Brooke
You were just laughing a lot. Paul.
Jeff
Yeah, he sounds remorse.
Sarah
The only care that I was.
Paul
Sarah, I feel so terrible about this, and I'm sorry.
Jeff
Well, that's sweet of him to say.
Sarah
Why should I trust you?
Paul
You gotta realize it's the effort that went into it. You know that star that you have has a blue tint, and there's not a lot of those in the universe. And I picked that one specifically because it matches your beautiful eyes.
Jeff
Wow, that is so sweet and thoughtful and not cheating.
Sarah
Sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me.
Brooke
Sarah. Don't fall for it.
Sarah
Can you guys please shut up? I want to hear what he has to say.
Jeff
Stop thinking like a woman and be quiet.
Paul
Yeah, seriously, you guys gotta pipe down, okay?
Brooke
Oh, all right, all right. What else do you got to say there, Paul?
Jeff
Yeah, you two talk to each other.
Paul
Sarah. And to be honest, look, I. And I know 30 days is a long time, and I have a good excuse. I do have another surprise for you.
Brooke
Oh, no.
Jeff
Really?
Brooke
Wow.
Jose
He's been planning.
Sarah
I don't know if I should believe you.
Brooke
No, you shouldn't.
Jeff
Well, let's hear him out.
Brooke
Well, at least he didn't even remember her name.
Jeff
He got there.
Paul
Actually, as God is my witness, I bought you a moon.
Brooke
Sticky with the same shtick.
Paul
Yeah, can you guys please shut the up? I'm trying to work here.
Brooke
Wow.
Jeff
Stop trying to block romance. Yeah, sorry about that, Paul.
Paul
So, Sarah, listen to me, not to them.
The reason it took 30 days to get this moon a. It's more expensive but just dealing with the ins and outs of the International Space Registry.
With the tariffs and so many delays, it's been a complete nightmare. But I finally was able to pull it off. And now you are one of the owners of one of Saturn's moons.
Brooke
Wow.
Jeff
Oh, my God.
Brooke
I feel like his printer just broke for a month.
Jeff
Moons are more rare than stars. Talked to her the whole month, though.
Paul
Yeah.
Brooke
I don't believe this. Do you?
Sarah
I'm on the fence.
Jeff
Wow. Okay.
Brooke
Did you just Forget the last 10 minutes of your life?
Sarah
Well, pretty good. I mean, I believe him that he said that he's done this many times before with other women, but I. I didn't hear that he's given anybody a mood ever.
Jeff
Yeah.
Paul
Wow.
Jeff
That's level two.
Paul
Yeah, Sarah, I did that. If you will go with me, I would love to show you that moon on Saturday. And I'll bring the tequila.
Jeff
Oh, wow.
Brooke
So you just need to do another car makeout session on Saturday.
Jeff
He did say that was his goal, so.
Jose
Yeah, she heard it.
Brooke
Sarah, if you only want a makeout session, I think this is great. Yeah, true.
Sarah
I would like a moon also.
Jeff
Yeah.
Brooke
Hey, Barbara doesn't buy them.
Paul
Yeah.
Jose
Yeah, she forgets a lot.
Jeff
Maybe in a year you'll get a whole galaxy all in your name.
Jose
I'm just saying, man, she needs to buy you a black hole.
Brooke
It's no longer the Milky Way we live in. It's actually just Sarah's galaxy.
Jeff
Okay, Brooke's just jealous because her husband bought her a dish rack, so.
Let'S not take that into consideration.
Paul
I should have had this conversation with just Sarah and I.
Jeff
That is a good point.
Brooke
Yeah. Much easier to manipulate her that way.
Jeff
We'll let you have all the conversations that you two want to have if you'll agree to go out with Sarah one more time. Because we would pay for that, Paul.
Brooke
It doesn't cost much, Jeff.
Jeff
You're right, Brooke. But it comes with a certificate for the restaurant that we're sending them to.
Jose
Oh, you printed that out?
Jeff
Yes, and a dollar sign with the amount of money that's on the card. So pretty official.
Paul
Paul, if you'll say yes, I'm 100% on board.
Brooke
Oh, of course. You may be the first woman in his life that got a dinner.
Jeff
Sarah, you've been pretty quiet for a while.
Brooke
Oh.
Jeff
What do you think about going out with Paul again?
Brooke
Maybe reality.
Sarah
I would love to.
Brooke
What?
Oh, my God.
Paul
Yes. You made the best choice, Bab. Babe, you're gonna have such a great time.
Brooke
Aww. That's cause he forgot her name again.

Why do I feel like I'm the only one in the room that's excited we got a yes?
Brooke
Yeah, you are.
Jeff
It's too much cynical commentary in here. Like, I don't like that. It's disingenuous.
Brooke
Oh, he lied to her and made up his own certificate.
Jose
Okay, but he didn't say all the details. She heard all the details and she forgave all.
Jeff
Exactly, Jose. Thank you.
Brooke
I think she ignored all the details. That's different than forgiveness.
Jeff
Listen, if a young man wants to buy a fake constellation for a woman and they see that as romantic, who are we to tell them it's not okay?
Paul
Sure.
Brooke
He didn't buy it. Okay, he printed out even.
Jeff
That was enough for her. Seriously, we should change the name of this segment to the Love Finders, because that's. That's just what we do.
Jose
Or star finders.
Brooke
Yes. Scam finders. Yeah, that's it, Alexis.

Podcast: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update (iHeartPodcasts)
Host(s): Brooke, Jeffrey, Jose, Alexis
Episode Theme: Ghosted after a magical, out-of-this-world first date, a baffled woman learns the cosmic (and comedic) truth about her date’s "stellar" gift.
This episode of Second Date Update revolves around Sarah, a listener who experienced the most extravagant—and peculiar—first date gift the show has ever heard of: her date, Paul, bought and “named a star” after her. When Paul ghosts her after this seemingly romantic evening, Brooke, Jeffrey, and the team call Paul to get to the bottom of why their story, which started written in the stars, fizzled out on Earth.
(Starts ~11:51)
This episode delivers a blend of genuine romantic hope and absurd, comedic reality. Sarah’s dreamy first date is undone by Paul’s unapologetic admission that his cosmic gestures are nothing but mass-produced certificates for minimal effort and maximum makeouts. Despite the “scam” being revealed, Sarah chooses to see the enchantment—or simply wants “a moon” to go with her star. Brooke and Jeffrey highlight the messiness, ambiguity, and humor of modern dating, making this a genuinely entertaining “Second Date Update.”
For listeners, it’s a hilarious and slightly exasperating reminder: not every star in the dating sky is as real as it seems... but sometimes, that’s good enough for a second date.
