Second Date Update: "I Brought My Mom"

Podcast: Brooke and Jeffrey
Episode Date: July 3, 2026
Theme: When Katrina feels ghosted after a first date at a sushi restaurant, Brooke and Jeffrey investigate why her match Jeremy no longer wants to see her—unearthing some wild confessions about dating safety, loyalty points, and the fine line between smart dating and “scam.”

---

Episode Overview

This episode dives into an exceptionally awkward first date scenario: Katrina always brings her mom to hang out "incognito" nearby during first dates for safety, something her date Jeremy didn’t know. What unfolds next—an argument about loyalty/rewards points from their expensive meal—leads to a hilarious, tense, and surprisingly pointed debate about dating norms, personal safety, and who really benefits at dinner.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Setting Up the Situation (03:25–04:45)

• Hosts Brooke, Jeffrey, and Alexis read a listener message before Katrina calls in with her story.
• Jeffrey introduces Katrina, mentioning she has an unusual unwritten rule for first dates: always bring someone along.

“Honestly, I like to ask my mom to come.”
— Katrina (05:28)

• The hosts are floored, and there’s immediate joking and judgment—especially about the idea of an adult bringing her mother as a "background" presence at every first date.

2. Katrina’s Rules for Dating (04:56–06:22)

• Katrina explains her rationale: her mom is at the bar, not at the table, to make sure she’s safe and to check the vibes.
• Brooke challenges whether this is a healthy habit, but Katrina stands by her approach.

“It’s not like she’s sitting with us or anything... just to make sure that, like, the vibes are right and that I’m safe.”
— Katrina (05:49)

3. The First Date Play-by-Play (06:46–10:19)

• Katrina describes how she met Jeremy on Tinder; their conversations "stagnated" after weeks of chatting about food until she initiated the move to meet IRL for sushi.
• She and her mom carpooled to the restaurant; Mom sat at the bar.
• Katrina "checked in" with her mom once during a bathroom break, but otherwise focused on Jeremy and their shared love of food.
• The date seemed to go well, ending with Katrina giving Jeremy a surprise kiss outside—while her mom lurked nearby.

“I, like, gave him a quick kiss. But, like, he kind of did seem a little surprised by that.”
— Katrina (09:27)

• The hosts poke fun: Was the kiss captured on camera? Did Jeremy know Mom was there?

4. Why Jeremy Ghosted: The Loyalty Card Twist (12:24–18:33)

• The hosts call Jeremy to ask why he hasn’t responded to Katrina post-date.
• Jeremy is blunt: "Yeah, that was a scam." (12:59)
• He clarifies: at dinner, he paid for everything (about $200) but Katrina handed over her loyalty/reward card to rack up points for herself—leaving Jeremy feeing taken advantage of.
• Debate erupts: Is earning loyalty points simply smart dating or running a "scam"?

“She was getting some kind of, like, reward points for all the money I just spent.”
— Jeremy (14:43)

Katrina Jumps In (16:14):

• Katrina isn’t apologetic: “I’m not going to let a $160, like, $100 bill go without, like, just putting points on my card. Like, you’re paying for it anyway. Like, why not cash in on it?” (17:27)
• She also reveals her mom was there at the date—a fact Jeremy did NOT know.
• Jeremy is even more put off by Katrina’s “scamming,” and the hosts tease both sides.

5. The Final Showdown: Safety vs. Over-the-Top Precautions (18:11–19:20)

• Katrina defends her approach: “There's a bunch of weirdos on the Internet, so you have to be careful.”
• Jeremy fires back: “You are the weirdo!” (19:17)
• Both dig in—Jeremy is done, Katrina is unfazed, and the hosts jokingly offer to pay for another date with a gift card (Katrina gladly accepts).

6. Host Reactions & Wrap-Up (21:15–22:16)

• The hosts dissect the loyalty card issue—Brooke, self-described loyalty queen, sides with Katrina.
• Jeffrey contends it’s shady to get all the rewards without saying anything.

“The bad part about it is that she didn’t say she was using a loyalty card. She made it seem like she was going to pay for the date, but then was like, oh, by the way, you’re paying for everything and I’m taking all the points.”
— Jeffrey (21:35)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Did you hold your finger up to give mom a countdown so she knew the kiss was about to happen? It would have been kind of romantic.”
  — Jeffrey, teasing Katrina about her mom’s surveillance (11:09)

• “No, that's why I'm calling you. It's just—it's been awkward. I don't know what's up.”
  — Katrina, admitting she’s in the dark (11:52)

• “Sir, respectfully, what are you talking about?”
  — Katrina to Jeremy, when accused of scamming (16:14)

• “Jeremy, you gave off… Do you feel like you maybe gave off some murdery vibes when you matched with her online?”
  — Jeffrey, joking about Katrina’s safety plan (18:44)

• “You thought I was going to murder you in the sushi restaurant?”
  — Jeremy, incredulous (18:53)

• “You are the weirdo!”
  — Jeremy, as things spiral (19:17)

• “Let her go out with her mom. I'm done.”
  — Jeremy, on being offered a second date (19:50)

Episode Takeaways

• Dating Safety: Katrina’s “mom in the background” rule is divisive—ensuring personal safety, but hitting nerves (and boundaries) for others.
• Loyalty Cards on First Dates: Is it shady or savvy for someone to get loyalty points when their date pays? The show leans toward transparency being key.
• Dating "Scams": Sometimes what feels normal to one (earning rewards, protecting yourself) feels like a red flag to another.
• Host Tone: True to Brooke and Jeffrey’s style—playful, judgmental, but ultimately more fascinated than mean.

---

A wildly entertaining (if divisive) exploration of modern dating dynamics—where awkward first dates, reward points, and parental chaperones intersect with the perils of online matching.

[Brooke]

Hey, it's your second date update podcast and we are so happy you're here.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Alexis]

Wow, you got you a dog voice.

[Brooke]

You're so happy. Okay, so thank you for being here. This is the official podcast, despite that weird first moment, which may indicate that you know that already.

[Alexis]

Yeah, yeah, it's true.

[Brooke]

So let's get straight to the comment section. Yeah.

[Alexis]

Daniella said. Hi, guys. Much love from Denmark. I just graduated with a 12 in my cap. Thank you. The top grade in Denmark.

[Brooke]

Whoa.

[Alexis]

Couldn't have done it without your podcast keeping me sane while doing all my all nighters.

[Brooke]

Dude, that's so cool. Yeah.

[Alexis]

Congrats.

[Announcer]

Congratulations.

[Brooke]

I bet school's harder in Denmark for some reason.

[Alexis]

It has to be, right?

[Jeremy]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

All right, here it goes. This one's for you, Daniella. Congratulations.

[Kohler Ambassador]

Congrats.

[Brooke]

It starts now.

[Katrina]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Brooke]

Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

Most women have their own unwritten rules they set down for a first date. Now, Alexis might not agree because these rules I found online were written by men.

[Brooke]

I love when men do this.

[Jeffrey]

I think they're still pretty good.

[Brooke]

I bet you think that.

[Jeffrey]

Number one, always be willing to pay for half.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Should I stop there or do you want me to keep going? I didn't even get to don't drink too much. The best date's a sober date. Oh, man.

[Alexis]

Why find this?

[Brooke]

Yeah, why would Alexis want to remember me anyway?

[Jeffrey]

We have a woman on the phone named Katrina who has her own unwritten rule for dates, that she brings someone along on her first one every time.

[Katrina]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Katrina, welcome to the show.

[Jeremy]

Hey.

[Brooke]

I think I'm more amazed that you can find someone to come with you every time. You know, like once or twice as a friend. But then I'm like, girl, I am not going on your eighth first date.

[Alexis]

People don't even want to go on their own dates.

[Announcer]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Well, if you would pay for half of the meal, then people would be more than excited to hang out with you.

[Announcer]

And if you have A third. You can triple it. You can split it by three.

[Jeffrey]

There you go. But we want to learn about you and your dating life, Katrina. So tell us, who do you like to bring along on your dates with you? Like a friend?

[Katrina]

Honestly, I like to ask my mom to come.

[Brooke]

Oh, God, I'm sorry. Oh, geez.

[Jeremy]

Why?

[Jeffrey]

You're psycho.

[Announcer]

No. Hey, hold on. Before you say anything, I love moms. If a girl showed up with her mom on a date, I'd be so happy.

[Brooke]

No, you would not. That is not true.

[Announcer]

Give me a hug. I'll get your approval.

[Alexis]

For.

[Brooke]

For a first date? Why would you do.

[Katrina]

Well, I have my mom kind of creep in the background. It's not like she's sitting with us or anything. Like, just to make sure that, like, the vibes are right and that I'm safe. And, you know, you never know someone

[Jeffrey]

to make sure your form is right on the kiss, too. So make sure mom weighs in.

[Announcer]

You mean she's just like a random person at the bar? Do you introduce her to your dates?

[Katrina]

No. Spot on. She's just a random person at the bar.

[Announcer]

Okay, that's better.

[Brooke]

It's better. Low profile better. That is. I mean. Okay, I'm sorry, girl. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you listen. That feels unhealthy to me.

[Kohler Ambassador]

Really?

[Jeffrey]

Brooke doesn't want to let her children leave the house until they're 30 years old.

[Brooke]

I mean, I say that, but I don't really want that to happen, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Like, you know, Brooke is definitely gonna be on the first dates with both of her children.

[Announcer]

Let me just cut alder steak really quickly, and then you guys continue.

[Brooke]

So I'm guessing the mom went on this one too.

[Jeffrey]

We're being so judgy here. We haven't even heard the date yet. Tell us about what you guys did in this guy that you went out with.

[Katrina]

Well, to start at the beginning, this guy Jeremy, I met him on. I know you're gonna roll your eyes. I met him on Tinder.

[Alexis]

That's way better than the first thing you started this with.

[Jeffrey]

We're gonna try not to judge. Keep going. You met him online.

[Katrina]

All right, so we met on Tinder, and honestly, we hit it off pretty quick, but, like, it kind of seemed stagnant. Like it wasn't going anywhere. Like, we talked for a few weeks, but we mostly just talked about food. Like we're both just big booties.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Grainger Representative]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay. So, yeah, but it felt like it was kind of stalling, you say?

[Katrina]

Yeah, like, I sort of just had to be like, hey, are we going on a date? Or are we just going to sit here and, like, talk about food that we're not ever going to eat together?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, some guys do need that. They need that extra push to be like, hey, ask me out already.

[Katrina]

Right. And after a matter of week, I'm going to say something like, I am that girl.

[Announcer]

It's interesting.

[Brooke]

You're so assertive. And then bring your mom. I love it. The first part.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I know. We do this segment to find out what things you love and what things you don't, but we. We gotta figure out what Katrina did for her date.

[Alexis]

I agree.

[Katrina]

I want to hear.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so, Katrina, where. Where'd you and your mom go?

[Katrina]

Okay, well, he suggested sushi. Love that.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Katrina]

So I chose the restaurant because, like, I knew where it was. My mom and I've been there before, so that was also helpful.

[Brooke]

And so you're excited about this date?

[Katrina]

Oh, yeah.

[Kohler Ambassador]

I'm all in.

[Katrina]

I'm ready to go. And so I end up carpooling there with my mom. And we get there, like, a little early, obviously, because I don't want to get busted. But I have mom post up at the bar, and he and I meet up, and everything's pretty normal at this point.

[Brooke]

Can I ask, like, when you're separated from your mother, are you guys, like, secretly meeting in the bathroom at any point? Are you giving each other signals throughout the day?

[Katrina]

Not necessarily. I mean, there was one point when, like, I got up to go to the bathroom, and, like, I definitely did just one quick check in with her.

[Grainger Representative]

Okay.

[Alexis]

I feel that's risky, though, because, like, I look so much like my mom. If someone saw me talking, you would know a million percent.

[Brooke]

Totally. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

The date would probably leave you for your mom because she's cool.

[Alexis]

She's way tanner than me.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, it sounds like if you only checked in with your mom once, the date must have been going pretty well.

[Katrina]

Yeah, I mean, we were making quick work of the sushi menu. We did it all from sushi to sashimi to seaweed salad. We had a little bit of everything.

[Brooke]

Okay, so you're leaning in on the foodie connection you guys have?

[Katrina]

Yeah, definitely. So, like, it was pretty chill.

[Announcer]

How does a mom date end? Like, does she watch you guys? I'm being serious.

[Brooke]

Right. Because he can't walk her to the car because it's her mom's car.

[Announcer]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

So, like, my mom has the keys.

[Announcer]

She tells her mom, unlock the car right now.

[Katrina]

Well, we went outside and Yes. I have to get in the car with my mom, so, like, I have to finesse this. So I just kind of told him, like, hey, this was great. And I, like, gave him a quick kiss. But, like, he kind of did seem a little surprised by that.

[Announcer]

Oh, because you kissed him. Like, you initiated it.

[Katrina]

Yeah. Again, I am that girl.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you're assertive.

[Announcer]

That's rare.

[Brooke]

In front of your mom.

[Announcer]

Was it in front of your mom?

[Katrina]

Did she see? I mean, yeah, she was, like, lurking in the background.

[Alexis]

Lurking.

[Katrina]

Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

The camera's out and everything.

[Announcer]

It's just the first kiss on camera.

[Jeremy]

No.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, we're just joking.

[Brooke]

And what do you mean? He seems surprised by the kiss. How so?

[Katrina]

I don't know. Like, I kind of just threw it out there. It was quick. He was kind of, like, looked like he was reeling a tiny bit. I don't know. We did just eat a bunch of sushi. That could be on me.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe it was weird for him because his dad was also there. The mom's over by the bar.

[Announcer]

What if the mom and dad are also.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, the grandparents are in the car outside. It's just everybody's watching.

[Announcer]

So now it's a family tree.

[Brooke]

If that it happens, I will love it. So hard to be together.

[Jeffrey]

I really hope not, but maybe it will. When we come back, we'll call Jeremy for you and try and get your second date update right after this.

[Katrina]

Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

Hold on.

[Katrina]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Brooke]

Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

If you're just joining us for the second date update, we. We're on the phone with Katrina, whose first date would be an absolute nightmare for most of us in this room, but for her, it's totally normal to bring along her mom as the third wheel. Just make sure that everything's going right.

[Brooke]

That's right.

[Jeffrey]

As far as we can tell, her date Jeremy did not know that her mom was even there the whole time watching, peeping in on their first kiss. Katrina, did you hold your finger up to give mom a countdown so that she knew the kiss was about to happen? It would have been kind of romantic.

[Katrina]

Well, I think everyone was caught off guard by the kiss, mom included.

[LifeLock Representative]

Okay.

[Brooke]

For some reason, I just imagine your mother of in the window of that sushi restaurant, just banging on it, saying, way to go, honey.

[Katrina]

Well, thank God that didn't happen.

[Announcer]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

But after the date, your mom did approve of him?

[Jeremy]

Oh, yeah.

[Katrina]

Oh, yeah, Definitely.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

And we never asked either. Have you talked to him since? I know that you said the kiss took him off guard, but maybe have you heard anything?

[Katrina]

No, that's why I'm calling you. It just. It's been awkward. I don't know what's up.

[Jeffrey]

Well, hopefully we can help smooth things over. We're about to call your boy here and hopefully turn Katrina and Jeremy into the power couple. Katrami. Got a nice ring to it.

[Alexis]

Did.

[Brooke]

We need to dial her mom in on the other line, too.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sure she's watching through one of the windows of the studio here, so we'll be good. I'm going to dial him right now. Do it.

[Jeremy]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Jeremy?

[Jeremy]

Yeah, who's this?

[Jeffrey]

We're. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Hey, Jeremy, how are you doing?

[Jeremy]

What up? Hi.

[Brooke]

Hi.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, you're quite the talker.

[Brooke]

Yep. So it's gonna be a tough nut to crack, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe, but hopefully we can, because we're trying to help out one of our listeners with this segment we're doing called A Second Date Update. Basically, you went out with a girl named Katrina the other night to a sushi restaurant, and we're trying to kind of pick your brain about it.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, that was a scam.

[Brooke]

What? What? Did you say scam?

[Announcer]

Like you scammed her?

[Jeremy]

No, no, I think she's got some kind of operation she's running.

[Announcer]

Oh, she scammed you?

[Jeffrey]

Wait, can you please elaborate? Because we have no idea what you're talking about.

[Brooke]

She did not allude to any sort of scam when we talked to her.

[Jeffrey]

It was a date.

[Grainger Representative]

Right.

[Jeremy]

Well, all right. We went to a sushi restaurant. We ordered a ton of food.

[Brooke]

Yeah, you should.

[Announcer]

At a sushi restaurant.

[Jeremy]

Okay, so at the end, the bill came, and, you know, I have a policy. I'll pay for the first date. Usually more than that. I just think it's the right thing to do.

[Grainger Representative]

Yeah.

[Jeremy]

Although, I mean, we had a big night, we ordered a lot of food, so the guy came, and she put down her card, too. And I was thinking, all right, thank God, that one. I don't have to pay for this all. But too, that. That's nice of her to like. I said I'd get it, but then she threw down her card. So I was like, all right, that's cool of her.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's really considerate of her. See, Alexis, it is a nice thing. Guys appreciate that and like that about women.

[Alexis]

Whatever.

[LifeLock Representative]

I mean,

[Jeffrey]

like, Alexis, consider it for

[Brooke]

next time I forget my card.

[Orderly Meds Representative]

Jeff.

[Brooke]

Yeah, she always says, oh, I'm so sorry.

[Jeffrey]

So sorry, Jeremy. Keep going.

[Jeremy]

Well, but hold on because the bill came and I got my card back, and I thought I had still been charged for everything. And I had a quick moment of what's happening? And then he turned to her and said, and here's your loyalty card.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Brooke]

Oh, so she.

[Announcer]

It's her favorite sushi plate.

[Brooke]

Wait, so, like, she threw it down? So, like, if you order 10 rolls, you get the 11th free or something like that type of deal? Is that what you mean?

[Jeremy]

She was getting some kind of, like, reward points for all the money I just spent.

[Jeffrey]

Oh,

[Brooke]

that's not a scam. Like, why wouldn't she throw it down? Like, you're eating there. You don't have a loyalty card.

[Jeffrey]

It's weird that she would get all the benefits from their meal together that he paid for.

[Announcer]

She should have said, hey, you program here if you want, you can join if you know that I'm.

[Alexis]

Someone buys me Starbucks. It's so hard for me not to put my rewards barcode right there.

[Brooke]

I don't know that that's a scam. I bet she just didn't even think about it.

[Jeffrey]

Well, how much was it? How much was the bill that you paid?

[Announcer]

It's sushi. It's got to be 100 or so.

[Jeremy]

I think it was closer to, like, 200 bucks.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Jeremy]

I say it's a scam because I just suddenly got a flash of her taking, like, every Internet guy to this one place and, like, racking up and

[Alexis]

then she can take her friends for genius.

[Brooke]

I'm racking up the free California rolls, and nobody even knows.

[Jeffrey]

Alexis is loving this. You're going to you're creat little monster in our studio.

[Alexis]

Text all my friends right now.

[Brooke]

I'm sorry, that is a big accusation.

[Jeffrey]

It is weird that none of that came up when we talked to her.

[Announcer]

Well, it's so small because I'm telling

[Brooke]

you, she doesn't even think about it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she just takes money from guys and gets the rewards for herself. Okay, we need to clear this up and actually have Katrina on the line. She is on the phone already, by the way, Jeremy, wanting to talk to you.

[Brooke]

Does it feel less scammy? Yeah.

[Jeremy]

What are you talking about?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's how this segment works. We have them listening quietly and then have them jump in.

[Brooke]

That feels normal.

[Katrina]

Sir, respectfully, what are you talking about? Like, I'm running. You suggested sushi. I suggested the restaurant.

[Brooke]

Oh, she got you.

[Announcer]

Wait a minute.

[Kohler Ambassador]

Wait.

[Jeremy]

You just said you picked the place.

[Katrina]

You picked sushi. So what? I was going to talk to you for weeks on the off chance you would land on sushi, even though I told you, pick absolutely anything.

[Announcer]

He's got a good point.

[Jeremy]

Wait a minute. Just answer me yes or no. Have you taken other Internet dates to that same place?

[Katrina]

Oh, quite frankly, that is none of your business. And if you would like to know, that's where my mom and I like to go. It's our favorite restaurant, she and I, so.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, because you get all the free food there. Come on, you guys.

[Brooke]

Jeffrey, you really think that she is going to spend hours talking to men, then hours going out on terrible dates with them? Like, it is not worth. Like, I can't imagine all of that energy being worth whatever you end up getting.

[Jeffrey]

I guess I do see Brooke's point. You can be running a tighter scam

[Grainger Representative]

than this

[Jeffrey]

to get them in. Maybe you need to, like, streamline this system.

[Brooke]

Thank you. The reward is not worth the effort.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, okay.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe I'm to buy you some gift cards too, next time.

[Jeremy]

You keep saying it's not worth it, then why would you bother putting down your card?

[Katrina]

You offered to pay. I said thank you because that is the appropriate response. And then I put my loyalty card down. I'm not going to let 160 bucks, like $100bill go without, like, just putting points on my card. Like, you're paying for it anyway. Like, why not cash in on it?

[Jeffrey]

So you said you and your mom go there. Did you? The loyalty points from this date on the next time that you and your mom went and ate there?

[Brooke]

Why would it matter?

[Jeffrey]

I'm just curious.

[Katrina]

I always use my loyalty card when we go and eat there. And yeah, we went there like a week or so after this date that he and I had. So, like, technically probably, but I had a lot of points on that card.

[Jeffrey]

So you paid for several meals.

[Alexis]

Nice. You bought her mom dinner?

[Brooke]

Yes. I don't know why he's so upset about this. Still. I totally don't see an issue with this.

[Katrina]

Here's the thing. After hearing the way this man feels about me because I'm apparently a scam artist, let me just pull the curtain all the way back. Let's just get so real right now. The week or so after when I went there with my mom was not even the most important time that I went there with my mom. I think the most noteworthy time is the fact that my mother was there when we were on this date in the first place. She was sitting at the bar.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I don't know if Jeremy knew

[Announcer]

that that's not a Real bomb. You think it is? I'm pretty sure.

[Katrina]

The thing is, she was just watching to make sure that I don't get, I don't know, murdered.

[Jeffrey]

And then, Jeremy, you gave off. Do you feel like you maybe gave off some murdery vibes when you matched with her on my.

[Alexis]

Her mom was going to save her.

[Jeremy]

You thought I was going to murder you in the sushi restaurant?

[Jeffrey]

Well, maybe not in the restaurant, but maybe in the parking lot.

[Announcer]

Probably after you pay the bill, obviously.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, they need the loyalty points.

[Brooke]

I think the more important point is did you hear that her mom was there?

[Jeremy]

Yeah. I don't even understand. Your mom is chaperoning your dates. You're a grown woman.

[Katrina]

Yeah, because there's a bunch of weirdos on the Internet, so you have to be careful scamming people.

[Jeremy]

People. You are the weirdo.

[Jeffrey]

The Internet weirdo is you. Well, I just.

[Brooke]

This is not going well.

[Jeffrey]

It's so romantic. At this point, I just have to ask if you two would like to go out on another date. Moms and parents all invited and. Jeremy, we're gonna pay for it this time.

[Alexis]

We'll give you your own punch card.

[Announcer]

Yeah, there it is.

[Jeffrey]

What do you think, Jeremy?

[Jeremy]

This is like, more twisted than I even imagined.

[Jeffrey]

There's no scam here. We'll pay for everything.

[Alexis]

Ye.

[Jeremy]

Let her go out with her mom. I'm done.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

She does like to do that.

[Jeffrey]

So the royalty points are running low, though. So who's going to pay for that?

[Katrina]

You guys will. You already said you were going to give me a gift card.

[Jeremy]

Let's go.

[Jeffrey]

Now you're running a scam on us? Yeah, well, I don't know.

[Brooke]

She's really good at it though. I'm still okay with it.

[Jeffrey]

I know. Brook Venmo$400 right now.

[Katrina]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Announcer]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

It's been a while since we've had fireworks like that happen between two of our callers. And this time it was all because of using a loyalty card on a date.

[Announcer]

Wow.

[Brooke]

Is it really that bad?

[Announcer]

The whole time I recently was on a date and they asked me if I had a loyalty card, I was like, I don't know, look up my number. And it was a whole process. And they did, though. They found it.

[Jeffrey]

The bad part about it is that she didn't say she was using a loyalty card. Yeah, she made it seem like she was going to pay for the date, but then was like, oh, by the way, you're paying for everything and I'm taking all the points.

[Announcer]

She should have just been like, hey, they have a loyalty program here. I'm a part of it.

[Jeffrey]

If you want to be, you know,

[Brooke]

you can sign up, but scam artist over a loyalty card? I don't know, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

We get why Brooke is so offended by this. Because she's a staunch advocate of loyalty cards. She's got 37 in her purse right now.

[Brooke]

If I know that I'm gonna go back there in five years, I will still keep my loyalty number.

[Announcer]

Is that really loyal? Brooke, if you have every single grocery
