Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Episode: "High Steaks Heartbreak"

Release Date: March 11, 2026

Episode Overview

The main theme of this episode of "Second Date Update" revolves around a hilariously disastrous first date between Zeke and Celeste—a date that set high culinary expectations and delivered a "high end" food court experience instead. The hosts walk Zeke through the aftermath, dissecting how a failed steakhouse rendezvous, class expectations, and honesty issues led to Celeste ghosting Zeke. The episode is packed with biting humor, relationship cynicism, and the show's trademark banter analyzing modern dating mishaps.

2. The Restaurant Bait-and-Switch

• The Big Ask ([06:16 – 07:10]): Celeste suggests the city’s priciest steakhouse, aiming for tomahawk steaks (>$500 each).
• Zeke’s Hack ([07:25 – 07:46]): He schedules the date on the one day he knows the restaurant is closed, then feigns ignorance.
  • Quote (Host 1, [07:41]): "That's genius level."
  • Quote (Host 2, [07:44]): "Yeah, but he saved a bunch of money."
• The Pivot ([08:21 – 08:33]): Zeke leads Celeste to a "high end food court." The hosts riff on what that even means, poking fun at food courts with “Mexican sushi.”

• Celeste’s Standards ([16:25 – 16:36]): "I'm awesome and I'm gorgeous and I deserve all of that, so. You're right. I would not have gone out with you had you been honest with me and just said that we weren't going to go to that restaurant."
• Zeke’s Defense ([17:09]): Claims he earns "above the average median salary" but can’t (won’t) keep up with her financial expectations.
• Celeste’s Bottom Line ([17:03]): "Well, you know, the real you is broke, and I don't like that."

5. Hosts' Reactions & Takeaways

• Cynicism on Modern Dating ([17:22 – 17:50]): Hosts argue over whether “high-value women” should care about money, and mock-advise Zeke to stay in his “lane.”
  • Quote (Host 2, [17:50]): "No broke boys."
• Offers & Rejections ([18:49 – 19:33]): Zeke offers to apologize and proposes a do-over if the radio station picks up the tab. Celeste denies: "I want you to pay for it yourself, like a man should."
• Final Joke ([19:38 – 19:44]): Zeke tries another “the steakhouse is closed” excuse for not doordashing a steak. Hosts and Celeste are exasperated.

Tone & Language

The tone throughout is light, teasing, and sarcastic, punctuated with moments of genuine bewilderment about dating expectations. Celeste is unapologetically blunt (“the real you is broke, and I don’t like that”), Zeke is good-natured and sheepish, while the hosts constantly poke fun at the absurdity of both sides.

---

Conclusion

This episode lampoons the high-stakes (and high-steaks) world of modern dating, where class, expectations, and honesty collide. Zeke’s calculated attempt to avoid a $700 dinner backfires spectacularly but provides plenty of comedic fodder for the hosts. Celeste remains steadfast in her standards, while Zeke realizes he’s out of his league both financially and romantically.
If you’ve ever feared a mismatch of expectations on a first date, or just need to laugh at the "dating above your means" struggle, this is a must-listen.

Yes. Okay. Dominic said, glad to have met my wife the old fashioned way at a bar with more alcohol than either of us. Should have legally been sold

[Jeffrey]

out in the wild.

[Host 1]

Man, that must have been fun back in the day. All right, listen, your brand new episode starts right now.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke, is there such a thing as an entitled woman?

[Host 2]

Oh, Jeff, that's a loaded question.

[Host 1]

There's an entitled every person.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, cool. Well, without looking directly in the mirror, what does that look like? What are the characteristics that you're trying to describe there?

[Host 2]

I knew this was happening.

[Host 1]

Someone entitled feels like they're owed something, right? That's, I mean, kind of the definite.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, like the type of woman who would scoff if you paid with a non platinum credit card. Oh, that reflects poorly on horror. Or gets upset that her hotel room with ocean view doesn't face both oceans.

[Host 1]

That's a good point.

[Host 2]

Well, unless it's a three.

[Jeffrey]

Unless you're entitled. Yeah, and they can be hard to date. I mean almost impossible. But one of our listeners, Zeke, went out with someone and says even though she's definitely entitled, he still wants another date with her.

[Host 1]

Okay. I mean, if he knows what he's getting himself into, then cool.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So, Zeke, welcome to the show, man.

[Zeke]

Hey, thank you for having me, guys.

[Host 1]

Yeah. Where did you meet this entitled woman?

[Zeke]

So I matched with her like on dating website. Her name is Celeste.

[Jeffrey]

Chillest. Sorry, Celeste with like a ch in it.

[Zeke]

Yeah, I thought it was interesting. Like Celeste, but like Celeste sounds pretty high maintenance.

[Jeffrey]

I like her already. What did you like about her?

[Zeke]

I mean, she's just drop dead gorgeous. Like she's so beautiful and she's also a professional stylist with, like, a very busy schedule, but, like, I don't mind that at all.

[Host 2]

Did you meet her on Raya?

[Host 1]

Okay, so she sounds like what my friend group would call a fancy pants. Mmm.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, we're not judging you at all. So tell us more about you and Celeste. How did you guys interact? Interact?

[Zeke]

So, I mean, we started talking on the app, but then, like, in the middle of us, like, almost getting to hang out, she deletes her profile.

[Host 2]

Oh, oh, oh, the dating profile.

[Host 1]

Well, I hope you had already exchanged phone numbers at that point.

[Zeke]

No, we were only talking, like, through the app.

[Host 1]

You do know that we have to be able to contact her in order for this segment to work.

[Host 2]

Wait, the producers have her numbers?

[Jeffrey]

That's a very entitled thing to think. Brooke, the only way we'll call someone is via phone. There's plenty of other ways to do it.

[Host 2]

No, but that's how the station works.

[Jeffrey]

That's how we record. Okay, okay. The whole room's entitled now all of a sudden. All right, so when was that?

[Zeke]

I want to say like a few months ago, because now she actually came back on the app, so we matched again.

[Host 1]

Oh, that's funny.

[Zeke]

Okay, so, like, I just jump and I say, hey, are we still gonna hang out? Like, my first question.

[Host 1]

Cool.

[Zeke]

Cause I remember talking about going and meeting up for dinner, like, on a date and, like, getting some steaks.

[Host 1]

That's cool.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so what did she say to dinner and steaks?

[Zeke]

She throws out, you know what I would love to do. And she picks the fanciest, most expensive steakhouse in the city. And she says, we should both get tomahawks there.

[Host 1]

What is it? The tomahawks? Like, the huge ones that cost, like, $500?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Host 2]

You do it just for instance.

[Zeke]

Yeah, exactly. And I'm thinking, there's no way I'm going there on a first date.

[Host 1]

I'm thinking, there's no way a woman can eat a whole tomahawk by herself.

[Host 2]

Well, this could just be a test. Like, she wants to see how you react. How'd you react?

[Zeke]

I said, sure. Done. It's already booked. Next Monday. Meet me there, six o'. Clock.

[Host 1]

Oh, would you? I mean, isn't it kind of the thing that you don't want to go that fancy on a first day? I was gonna say, I wonder if you failed the test by saying, sure. Like, you should have said, oh, I

[Host 2]

love that place, but I'm gonna take you to this other steakhouse first.

[Jeffrey]

We're so jaded. We Think every question is definitely a test and that there's a right way to do this and a wrong way to do.

[Host 1]

Well, he's on the phone with us, so we might be right. That's fair.

[Zeke]

I mean, she was very excited we meet there.

[Host 1]

Oh, cute.

[Zeke]

Okay, it's closed.

[Host 1]

It's closed.

[Bowen Yang]

Wait, what?

[Host 1]

Oh, I bet you're so happy.

[Jeffrey]

That's how you know.

[Host 1]

Is that why you Suggested Monday at

[Zeke]

3pm you're thinking what I was thinking. So I chose the one day out of the week that I knew it wasn't going to be open.

[Host 1]

Oh, you did do it on purpose.

[Host 2]

That's smart.

[Host 1]

That's genius level.

[Host 2]

Like, darn it.

[Host 1]

But you kind of look like an idiot.

[Host 2]

Yeah, but he saved a bunch of money.

[Zeke]

I mean. Yeah, she was shocked and asked, didn't you make reservations? And I just have to play dumb.

[Host 1]

Was that believable? You playing dumb?

[Zeke]

I mean, I just blamed it on the restaurant. They just must have screwed up or something.

[Jeffrey]

That's kind of smart.

[Host 2]

Like they misheard me on the phone.

[Host 1]

That would work on us, but we said she's entitled, so I don't know that.

[Celeste]

Yeah.

[Host 2]

Wait a minute.

[Jeffrey]

But the customer is always right. So as the customer.

[Host 2]

So open up this restaurant right now.

[Host 1]

Yeah, I mean, you. You obviously had a plan B prepared, right? Because you knew that this was going to happen. So where did you actually take her?

[Zeke]

I ended up just like taking her to this high end food court. I mean, in a nearby building.

[Host 1]

What's a high end food court? I was just gonna say, what would that even mean?

[Zeke]

You know, like, not like a food court that has like subways, just like more high end food.

[Host 1]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

I think we do have one of these in the mall in the nice part of town.

[Host 1]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Where it's like local restaurants and artisan pizza.

[Host 2]

They're like making handmade donuts.

[Host 1]

Why are you saying it like that? I love getting grilled cheese from there.

[Jeffrey]

I know, I know. I'm a huge fan of that place.

[Host 1]

But she's all dressed up for a high end steakhouse and now she's in a food court.

[Jeffrey]

But now she gets to know the real. And that must have been a good thing.

[Zeke]

I don't know if that was enough. She's not calling me back.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Host 2]

Oh, man.

[Host 1]

How did you guys end the date?

[Host 2]

Can I ask a question?

[Zeke]

She looked at me and said, well, I thought we were going to get tomahawks.

[Host 1]

She didn't get over it. Yeah, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And then you paid with a non platinum Credit card, I'm assuming. Yeah.

[Zeke]

Oh, I just paid with like a normal card. I don't think she even noticed, but, like, she's definitely a type of woman who probably gets like 50 likes a day by guys on this app, so really pretty.

[Host 1]

So we should pretend we're like a high end service calling to help you that you spent a lot of money on.

[Zeke]

Could you guys.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, yeah, I mean, I think

[Host 1]

it's kind of obvious we're free once you listen to us.

[Host 2]

We could be investment bankers. We're calling because we hear you're rich and we want to help you with your money.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that'll be super believable.

[Host 1]

We're still trying to get a date.

[Host 2]

I wanted to be a character for this.

[Jeffrey]

I am curious though. The way you're describing her seems very high maintenance, very demanding and needy. If she's like that, what makes you want to date her so badly?

[Zeke]

I mean, I don't mind the feisty, the high maintenance. Like, she's just also really beautiful. So, like, I. I kind of know what I'm getting myself into.

[Host 1]

But how are you gonna keep up? Sounds expensive.

[Zeke]

I'll just keep booking restaurants that are closed on Mondays.

[Host 1]

Your favorite date night.

[Jeffrey]

A lifetime of happiness. That sounds like. But we'll try and get a hold of her when we come back. Call this Celeste and set her up with the man of her dreams when we do. Your second date update coming up right after this. Hold on, ma'.

[Zeke]

Am. Thank you, guys.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning date update.

[Jeffrey]

If you're just joining us, our listener Zeke just finessed his way into a first date with a self described entitled woman named Celeste.

[Host 2]

Yeah, she's like the chillest.

[Host 1]

I think she's the highest maintenance.

[Jeffrey]

Kind of the opposite. Yeah, but she suggested that they go eat tomahawk steaks together at the fanciest restaurant in town.

[Host 1]

And so did he talk sense into her?

[Jeffrey]

Absolutely not.

[Host 1]

That's right.

[Jeffrey]

Zeke said, sure, let's do it, and told her he booked a reservation, which makes sense.

[Host 2]

Usually takes months to get into those places. When he's like, oh, I booked a resi, I was like, but his hack

[Host 1]

is kind of genius.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, because they showed up on the one day when that restaurant was closed. How did that happen? Did he do that on purpose? Yes, 100% he did. And he also pivoted then to a high end food court, which was much more in his price range. But now he's not getting a call back.

[Host 1]

So she ended the day asking about the Tomahawk. Still Disappointed?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Did she figure out the whole plan? Did she find somebody else to go buy her tomahawk steaks? Of course she did.

[Erin Andrews]

I'm sure.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but Zeke's still holding out hope that maybe he can get a second chance. How you feeling, Zeke?

[Zeke]

I mean, I'm feeling pretty confident. I hope that my personality was enough, honestly.

[Jeffrey]

Well, it hasn't been so far. Yeah, but I do like the optimism.

[Host 1]

I just don't think that personality is what she's searching for. I could be wrong. I mean, maybe we can convince her that's a good way to go.

[Host 2]

We hope Brooke's wrong.

[Zeke]

I'm going to keep my hopes high for now.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you really probably shouldn't do that because it's going to hurt when she says she's looking for a 60 ounce steak out of this, but. Oh, yeah, let's find out. I'm going to dial Celeste number. Let's see if she actually answers the phone.

[Zeke]

I mean, hearing her voice again, I get tingles.

[Host 2]

Oh, wait.

[Jeffrey]

All right, well, we're going to put you on mute then.

[Host 2]

Yeah, I don't want to know what tingles are.

[Jeffrey]

I don't want to hear it. But yeah, let's talk to Celeste and see what happens. Here we go.

[Celeste]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Celeste?

[Celeste]

This is she.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, we're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Thank you for answering.

[Host 1]

Yeah, hi.

[Host 2]

Good morning.

[Celeste]

Did I win something or.

[Jeffrey]

Why do people always ask that?

[Host 1]

Because that's usually what radio stations call about.

[Host 2]

Usually when they call you because you want.

[Jeffrey]

They just want stuff from us.

[Host 1]

Okay? No, if we had the budget, that would be great.

[Jeffrey]

Sure. But we might have something even better to offer you.

[Celeste]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Chance to meet up one more time with one of our listeners. A great guy that we've spoken to named Zeke.

[Celeste]

Oh, man. Hey, wait a minute. That's what this is about?

[Host 1]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, this is called a second date update.

[Host 1]

She's laughing.

[Jeffrey]

We're trying to help Zeke figure out why you two haven't met up a second time.

[Celeste]

Yeah, I've heard of this type of thing before.

[Host 1]

Okay, okay, yeah, we heard about the steakhouse mishap where. Gosh, it was closed.

[Celeste]

Mishap? Is that what he said? He called it a mishap?

[Host 1]

I mean, what would you call it?

[Celeste]

Yeah, well, I looked it up later and it said the restaurant was closed on that day. So it wasn't a mishap.

[Host 1]

Well, then, I mean, it was a mistake.

[Host 2]

Another restaurant?

[Celeste]

Look, he took me to the restaurant, it was closed, and then he ends up taking me to some food court that he keeps telling me is this high end food court, which there's no such thing, by the way. And I'm sorry. If a place has Mexican sushi. I mean, I don't even know. I don't know what that is.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's what we call fusion.

[Jeffrey]

That sounds really good.

[Erin Andrews]

Actually,

[Host 1]

I would take some.

[Jeffrey]

Some carnitas inside of a sushi roll.

[Host 2]

In sushi form.

[Celeste]

Yeah. Not good. Let me just say it was not good.

[Jeffrey]

You were. Okay, so the food wasn't great, but what about his sparkling personality? That must have won you over in some way.

[Celeste]

I mean, the moment I was in a food court, I was like, half listening to him. So I don't. I'm a shining personality. I couldn't see past, like, the disappointment. And the whole thing just felt weird. And I was suspicious of the whole thing. So, I mean, it just. Nothing was. Nothing was right.

[Host 1]

Why were you suspicious?

[Celeste]

It just seemed convenient that we have this, like, wonderful reservation and then the place is closed. Like, if you made a reservation, they would tell us. And then I called the next day, and that's when I found out that they were already closed under that day.

[Host 1]

Wait, so you called and kept investigating whether or not he, what, Faked the reservation? Is that what you're saying?

[Celeste]

Absolutely. Because if it, you know, he said it was a mistake. So I called them to see if there was any other day with his name on the reservation or a mistake that they could have made. And there was absolutely no record of his name in their system at all. I mean, he totally lied. He's such a cheap ass. I know it.

[Host 1]

Wait, wait, I thought you were gonna be upset about the lie, but you're upset about the cheap part of it.

[Celeste]

No, I know why he lied. He lied because he didn't want to have to pay for anything.

[Host 2]

It sounds like the nicest restaurant in the city.

[Celeste]

Oh, so you say it's okay that he lied about it then?

[Jeffrey]

No, no.

[Host 1]

Is that right?

[Jeffrey]

We're just saying what happened to the good old days of women just taking a man at his word and not questioning everything that he did in the motives behind it.

[Host 1]

Right, Brooke, that was the grossest statement.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sorry.

[Host 1]

It's a pretty outlandish thing.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sorry. I don't know why men are considered trustworthy these days, especially when we have them waiting on the other line, listening in on these phone calls, waiting to talk.

[Celeste]

Wait, what?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah, that is kind of how this works. Because Zeke is on the phone right Now I think.

[Zeke]

Yeah, I'm here.

[Host 1]

Good way to come in with some confidence, Zeke.

[Celeste]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

What's up?

[Celeste]

Exactly.

[Zeke]

It's nice to hear your voice again.

[Celeste]

It's not nice to hear your voice. I don't know why we're on here right now. I think it was pretty obvious what my thoughts were on our. On our last date.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Oh, that hurts.

[Zeke]

I mean, I like you and I like your vibe, and I wanted to be with you because of that. I just. I felt like it was just too much for a first date. And if I said that, you wouldn't have gone out with me.

[Celeste]

Yeah, well, of course. I'm awesome and I'm gorgeous and I deserve all of that, so. You're right. I would not have gone out with you had you been honest with me and just said that we weren't going to go to that restaurant.

[Jeffrey]

So you're saying that if he said, I'm sorry, I can't afford a $700 steak, that would have been, like, a turn off for you?

[Host 1]

He didn't even say that. He just said, that's too much for a first date.

[Celeste]

He didn't tell me that ahead of time. He's telling us that now after he'd already lied. So.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so it's a small problem of timing is what we're having.

[Zeke]

Yeah. And I kind of just wanted you to get to know the real me, you know? Like, I thought you liked that.

[Celeste]

Well, you know, the real you is broke, and I don't like that.

[Zeke]

Oh, wow.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Well, now it's a little more serious.

[Zeke]

That's not true. I make above the average median salary for a man my age

[Celeste]

with other men. Because you're not going to attract any, like, high value woman with, you know, a bait and switch game.

[Host 1]

I would actually argue chalice, that a high value woman is someone who looks beyond whatever the economic situation is into a person's potential and their personality.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God, I almost threw up in the room.

[Host 1]

I didn't even listen to the second half.

[Jeffrey]

What I said was bad. That was horrible.

[Celeste]

That's really sweet that you think that way, but we have to give ourselves a leg up. Like, we have to take our standards up higher because otherwise we're just going get stuck with, like, people who drag us down.

[Host 2]

No broke boys.

[Host 1]

Why can't you just make the money?

[Celeste]

I do make money.

[Bowen Yang]

There you go.

[Host 1]

Okay, so you take him out to Tomahawk Steaks. You know, you be the sugar mama or whatever.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke wouldn't do that herself in her own dating life. But everybody else definitely should.

[Host 1]

I never dated someone who made more money than me. And that was true when I was making 17 grand.

[Jeffrey]

Well, it's financially impossible to make more money than you, Brooks. How is it supposed to.

[Host 1]

I was making $17,000 a year. I was still dating someone.

[Jeffrey]

Anyway, chillas, listen, I apologize on behalf of my co host coming after you and your thank you high standards for what women deserve. But speaking to Zeke, I think. Zeke, what she's looking for is like a full admission of guilt. You messed up, like a total apology.

[Host 1]

Really? I think she's just looking for a bank statement.

[Jeffrey]

Well, that's secondary. If you had that too, that'd be great.

[Celeste]

Honestly, I'm just trying to get off the phone at this point.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, okay, but just give Zeke one last chance to state his point.

[Zeke]

What if I did apologize? And what if I. What if I actually did take you to dinner there for real? Like, and then these guys will pay for it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Wait, what?

[Host 2]

No, we didn't say that.

[Jeffrey]

No, we don't.

[Host 1]

What's the radio budget?

[Zeke]

Yeah, my friend. No, I thought you guys like you. That's your whole, like, thing. Like, you guys pay for, like, the date.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, maybe at like a Red Robin, but not like the most expensive steakhouse in the entire city.

[Host 2]

Yeah, we don't even go to that place.

[Host 1]

You want to do ihop. Breakfast for dinner is always fun.

[Celeste]

Besides, Zeke, I want you to pay for it yourself, like a man should.

[Host 1]

That's right, Zeke. Yeah, I'm actually agreeing with her now.

[Host 2]

We all want you to feel it, Zeke.

[Celeste]

I'll give you my address right now and you can doordash a tomahawk to me tonight. And then maybe I'll consider giving you a chance.

[Jeffrey]

Wow, the doors crack back open for you, Zeke. This is your chance.

[Zeke]

I mean, I would, but I already looked at all the places that sell those and they're like, closed right now.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah, what are the odds?

[Host 1]

I heard that too.

[Zeke]

Every single place I just looked, I just looked.

[Jeffrey]

It's the reverse of last time.

[Celeste]

Guys, this is the same story. He's just broke. That's it.

[Host 1]

Yeah, but have you tried the Applebee's egg rolls? Because we heard those were good.

[Jeffrey]

High end.

[Host 2]

Okay, the highest we go is Cheesecake Factory. What do you say?

[Celeste]

I say I have to go.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm done.

[Host 1]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sorry.

[Zeke]

I tried. Thank you, guys.

[Jeffrey]

Well, now we know. You just gotta stay in your lane, buddy. Is that the bustling Mexican sushi?

[Host 2]

Yeah, it's a food court.

[Jeffrey]

You know, Zeke's probably in his 20s right now, but I feel like down the road, when he's 80 or 90, he's going to look back on this and appreciate that he just got the opportunity to go on one date with an entitled woman at a food court. Not a lot of people can say that.

[Host 2]

You know, I bet they looked out of place, like she's dolled up, ready to go to the nicest restaurant.

[Host 1]

Oh, I'm sure.

[Jeffrey]

Beautiful.

[Host 1]

We didn't even ask him if he dressed up for the occasion. Since he didn't, he knew he wasn't going to the steakhouse. I don't know.

[Erin Andrews]

Whatever.

[Host 1]

I mean, like, there was so much other stuff going on.

[Jeffrey]

Daddy could afford even a collared shirt from the way that we had. I do have a feeling this was the peak of his dating life.

[Host 1]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no, it was. This is the best he's gonna do. And now he's gonna have to learn how to settle for a woman who just appreciates him for who he is.

[Erin Andrews]

Ew.

[Host 2]

Personality.

[Host 1]

That's the peak. That's the peak. The other one's the Valley.
