Brooke
Second date update. What's worse than getting ghosted? Should we have a term for that?
Jeff
Getting deceased.
Brooke
Cryptid.
Jeff
Cryptid.
Brooke
Black holed.
Jeff
I bet these are all terms already that we probably shouldn't Google.
Brooke
Maybe. Whatever you call it, that's what our listener Nicole says happened to her because not only did her date block her her, he's removed his entire dating profile from the apps. So Nicole got black holed bad.
Jeff
I think she just got blocked.
Brooke
Definitely. It really doesn't sound right now that I say it out loud, but Nicole, either way, welcome to the show.
Nicole
Thank you. Thank you.
Brooke
I mean, you are very perky for someone who is devastated.
Jeff
I am sorry. Why on earth would you want to get a hold of someone that's blocked you?
Nicole
If I did anything wrong, I want to know about it.
Brooke
Okay, interesting. So let's start at the beginning. Tell us about this guy that you met.
Nicole
Okay. So I met Elijah on a dating app, and Elijah on his dating profile. It was very clear. It literally said, here to find my wife with intentionality.
Jeff
Whoa.
Nicole
And wow.
Alexis
Okay, so he's not here to just have fun and see what happens.
Jeff
He's like, right. He might already be married.
Nicole
Oh, my gosh.
Jeff
In the two days or weeks or whatever. I thought Alexis was going to break out in hives. You just reading that description of several.
Brooke
I feel like a lot of women would be turned off by something that strong, but that was appealing to you, Nicole?
Nicole
Yeah, I'm looking for something serious. I want to build a future with someone, so I found it really refreshing.
Jeff
Okay.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeff
That's awesome.
Alexis
That is unique nowadays. I mean, most people are so vague.
Jeff
It's a lot of pressure going into a first date like that, you know?
Brooke
So you went to Vegas to get hitched for your date. It's fun.
Alexis
She showed up in a dress.
Nicole
I mean, I would be really pissed if we got married on a first date and then never heard from him again and would block.
Brooke
Hi, Will you Call my husband. What did you guys do?
Nicole
Okay, so we got together and we did something a little different that was really, really fun. Like, neither of us have pets, but we both are animal lovers.
Jeff
Okay.
Nicole
So we went to a local dog park and we just sat and we chatted and we watched dogs and.
Brooke
Did you bring your dog?
Jeff
She doesn't have one.
Brooke
You don't have a dog?
Alexis
That's what I was gonna ask. I have never done that. Can you just show up to a dog park?
Jeff
It's just a normal park.
Alexis
Yeah, I've never even thought to do that.
Jeff
You could also just go to a bar where people bring their dog. Like the dog bar.
Brooke
Jose, you're banned from most public spaces, so.
Alexis
But that's not because of the dogs. Okay. Yeah, that's because of the women.
Jeff
Okay. Still, I think this. This is really cute because it does sound like a date that a couple who's been married for 20 years would do.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeff
You know what I mean?
Brooke
Instead of people watching your dog watching together. So how was it?
Nicole
It was really fun. It was great. Like, it was so chill. And then afterwards, we drove around the city and he found this like, really cute area. And we pulled over and he kind of like pointed out some things to me that I hadn't known. And we ended up making out in his truck.
Jeff
Oh, my God.
Nicole
Okay, what was also interesting, which I actually really liked, is like, he stopped halfway through, like the makeup session, and he just like put his hands around my face in a way that was really sweet. And he said, look, I just want you to know that I'm looking for my wife and I don't want this to be a one night thing.
Jeff
Whoa, that's a lot.
Alexis
And Jeffrey, one eternity.
Jeff
You cannot laugh with somebody describing such a tender moment.
Brooke
No, I was.
Jeff
You get so uncomfortable. You have such a hard time with emotions.
Brooke
I was laughing at something else.
Jeff
Yeah, two hands.
Alexis
Oh, yeah.
Brooke
No, that. That was very sweet. I thought that was very. A nice moment to stop mid makeout to do that.
Alexis
Both hands. Grab both cheeks.
Jeff
Bring. Are you admissing the wife part? Yeah.
Nicole
I mean, it was nice. I was like, oh my God, maybe this is my future husband.
Alexis
So that moment was special.
Nicole
Yeah, maybe.
Jeff
You guys are perfect for each other.
Alexis
Yeah, I'm on the same page. That's all that matters.
Brooke
That's true. Everybody's in different spaces of dating. If she is ready for this. If this is what you want, Nicole, then we got your back on it.
Jeff
But how messed up that you do that you say that to someone and then you block her.
Brooke
Well, what happened after that? Did something.
Nicole
When we left, he gave me this romantic kiss again. And he was like, look, I'm looking for my forever, and I hope it's you.
Jeff
I hope it's you. Yeah, I thought that the whole time it was you. And that was the face grab and the stuff.
Alexis
Maybe we're reading into it too much.
Brooke
We don't know.
Alexis
Like, I really hope you it's you.
Jeff
I don't know. It sounds like he's now a host of a reality show.
Brooke
Yeah, we'll find out when we come back from the break and spin the giant wheel of faith. I really hope it's you.
Greenlight
It does sound like that.
Alexis
Oh, I landed on Jeff.
Brooke
Not again.
Jeff
What is going on?
Brooke
So, okay, how long ago was that date?
Nicole
This was about a week and a half ago. And, like, I went home after my yoga class and I said specifically, like, oh, I want to see what he's up to, but I don't want to message him. Let me go look on his profile.
Jeff
Yeah.
Nicole
And I went on the app and I was like, what the hell? Like, why are we no longer match. Where are all our messages?
Brooke
Yeah, that's wrong.
Alexis
The messages are gone as bad.
Brooke
Is it in your mind that maybe somebody else has stepped in and, like, he found. I mean, because people are dating on, like, lots of people on these apps all the time. Maybe he found somebody else.
Jeff
Sounds like me. If someone proposed to him, he'd say yes.
Brooke
Yeah, I've said I love you to a lot of people that I didn't mean it to, so. Well, that's just me, I'm sure. Yeah, I think.
Jeff
And Jeff laughed at himself through the whole thing. He's very uncomfortable. Comfortable with big emotions.
Brooke
Let's figure out where Elijah's head is at, why he took down his dating profile.
Jeff
Yeah, it totally makes sense why you would want answers here.
Nicole
Yeah, I looked up his Instagram and I was blocked there. Like, I literally can't see anything.
Brooke
That's not good. Okay, well, I hope we don't block you at the end of this either. We'll find out when we come back. Get some answers in your second date update. Right after this second date update. Vegas has set the odds at 9 to 1 that this call ends in a marriage proposal.
Jeff
Wow. Wait, I'm really bad with odds. Is that good or bad? But I'm honest. I gotta be good. No, I never know.
Alexis
A nine to one should be.
Brooke
Well, I don't really know.
Jeff
Someone will be married.
Alexis
It's probably bad.
Jeff
You Know what, Jeff? I'm not gonna bet anymore.
Brooke
The fact that even Vegas is in on this should be kind of shocking because Nicole has asked us to call a guy named Elijah who repeatedly told her that he is not dating casually.
Jeff
God, he says it a lot. He says it on his dating profile. He says it in real life.
Brooke
Yeah, Very intentionally searching for his wife and even stopped mid makeout to grab her face and remind her this frenching isn't for fun. It is a wife hunt.
Alexis
I'm setting a tone with this tongue.
Brooke
So afterwards, the weird part is that's what he did.
Jeff
I know.
Brooke
The weird thing is afterwards, he blocked Nicole and deleted his entire dating profile.
Alexis
What the heck? It's like a divorce immediately.
Jeff
And for Nicole, it's like, I'm guessing Nicole. Maybe I'm wrong. This is like the most romantic thing that's probably ever happened on a first date, right?
Nicole
Yeah. I felt like a real connection. I thought to myself, oh, my gosh, like, this guy knows what he wants. And like, I was so hopeful. And then all of a sudden it's like, how can I not take this personally? Like, not only did he delete the profile, block me on all socials, I don't even know if he's going to answer your number.
Alexis
Like, yeah, well, this is one of those dudes that action speak louder than words. They'll tell you everything you want to hear and then they won't follow through and do it.
Jeff
I still feel like that I hope it's you line is just not sitting right with no. Like, it feels almost like there's a job opening and he's trying to fill a position.
Brooke
You know what I mean?
Alexis
It's not romantic.
Jeff
Like, he's not connecting with you. He's just trying to make this next step. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I'm reading too much of it into it.
Brooke
Maybe he found one of those Russian bride websites and he realized how easy it is to do that. So.
Alexis
Wait a minute.
Brooke
I hope that's not the answer, but she loves me.
Alexis
I pay her to say it.
Brooke
Let's call, see if he picks up. And hopefully he has some explanation here. I'm dialing his number right now. Let's do this.
Elijah
Hello?
Brooke
Hey, is this Elijah?
Elijah
Yeah, who's this?
Brooke
This is a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Alexis
Hey.
Jeff
Hi.
Brooke
And we are a hoot and a half.
Jeff
Oh, my God, please never say that again.
Brooke
We are. We're a fun time. Sorry.
Jeff
It's like, just when we get popular.
Brooke
Okay. This is what's boosting the ratings. Elijah, you still there?
Alexis
Yeah, yeah.
Elijah
How we doing?
Alexis
Sorry, this is confusing. It shouldn't be.
Jeff
We were doing better till Jeff started talking. All right, but we're here.
Brooke
We're calling with a purp. It's a segment that we're doing called Second Date Update. That's where listeners can come on our show and we try and help them reconnect with a person they went on a date with that they had a really nice time with.
Alexis
Darn it.
Jeff
All right, dude, I am so interested in hearing. Yeah. Side of this story because we heard.
Brooke
That you went out with a woman named Nicole about a week ago.
Elijah
Right?
Jeff
Okay.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeff
I mean, it sounds like a really good date that you two had. Would you agree with that?
Elijah
Yeah, I mean, it was cool.
Jeff
It was cool.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeff
That's a positive. It is positive. I just didn't. You don't seem like a casual guy. From what she explained, you were less.
Alexis
Intense than I assumed you'd be.
Brooke
She definitely. Intense is a good word. Because she said that you were putting it out there a lot, that you were only dating to find a wife for love.
Jeff
I don't know he ever said love. He just said wife.
Alexis
Guys, love is a wife.
Jeff
Not all hand in hand.
Brooke
Check those. Russian dating. So we heard about that. You're looking for a wife.
Elijah
I. I mean, not anymore.
Alexis
No way. I found one.
Brooke
Wait, does that mean there's another person?
Elijah
Well, here's the thing. After the date, I went to a clairvoyant, and I got news that my wife isn't even in this realm.
Brooke
What?
Jeff
Okay, you want to hang up or.
Alexis
You want to just keep talking to him? What?
Brooke
Hold on.
Jeff
I just dropped my pin. Okay, Because I just can't.
Alexis
Okay, hold on. Let's unbox this.
Jeff
What do you mean?
Brooke
The psychic said your wife is not in this realm.
Elijah
Right.
Brooke
Look, it makes a lot of sense to me. I get what you're saying. But maybe explain for everybody else. Yeah.
Elijah
Honestly, I believe that I've married other people in my past lives.
Jeff
Okay.
Elijah
And it's constantly the same person, maybe in a slightly different form.
Brooke
Okay, so this same person, your soulmate that's been with you across all your lives, she's not.
Jeff
That's who you're looking for?
Brooke
She's not here.
Elijah
Nah.
Jeff
Why?
Alexis
How do you know, brother? Like, how do you know that the girl you went on a date with isn't this clairvoyant?
Nicole
Told him.
Alexis
I know, but.
Brooke
Yeah.
Alexis
Looking for she. Say it's me. Hi, Honey, like, oh, I'm here from the 17th.
Jeff
Isn't that kind of part of the past lives thing that you don't actually remember? The.
Brooke
Explain it to us?
Alexis
Yeah. Thank you.
Elijah
My Claire voice said that I found my soulmate in every single dimension. But not this one.
Brooke
She doesn't exist in this one.
Elijah
No, that she's not here.
Jeff
Not in this realm. Okay, it doesn't matter where she is. I think this could be good news, actually. Yeah.
Brooke
Because we have a real life woman who feels like she had a strong connection with you.
Alexis
She's on line three.
Jeff
And it sounds like you're freed up in this realm. You know, like you're single, kind of permanently in this.
Brooke
Nicole. We're talking about Nicole. Obviously, Nicole felt that connection with you.
Elijah
Okay.
Jeff
What do you mean, okay?
Brooke
That's a good thing.
Jeff
You told her again and again. I'm looking for my wife. I hope it's you.
Elijah
Is this a sign?
Jeff
Is what a sign? Yes. Yes, it is.
Brooke
Look, Nicole felt like you guys had a deep, deep connection. And now you actually have a phone connection to her too, because she's on the other line waiting to talk to you.
Elijah
What?
Nicole
Hi, Elijah.
Brooke
That's Nicole.
Elijah
I know she's on the phone, but my wife's dead.
Alexis
Oh, no.
Jeff
What?
Alexis
I'm so sorry. No, no.
Jeff
From the past life.
Brooke
I thought she wasn't in this realm.
Elijah
Right, Correct. She never made it here.
Alexis
Oh, okay.
Nicole
Wait, what?
Jeff
Yeah, exactly. Nicole. So why did you block. We never even got to why you blocked, Nicole.
Nicole
Thank you.
Brooke
No, this is why. Cause she's not his wife.
Jeff
But why?
Alexis
Leave me alone, lady.
Jeff
Nobody's going to be his wife, though.
Brooke
Are we understanding that?
Alexis
Right.
Brooke
If you're not looking for your wife, since she's not in the realm, then. Then you're not interested in dating at all.
Elijah
I guess some things are better off unexplained. I don't have all the answers.
Nicole
Yeah, you're right. This is definitely unexplainable.
Brooke
Well, I think the explanation makes sense. He was searching for his wife the whole time. But not just anybody. A specific woman from another dimension.
Alexis
Yeah.
Brooke
And you're not.
Nicole
Yeah, I think this clairvoyant is really messing with you. Like, I feel like she is trying to kind of be the only person who can, like, access supposedly what your quote unquote truth is. And I might not be your celestial being from a different realm, but I think you're gonna miss out on some really great girls in this realm if you don't give us a real shot.
Jeff
Oh, that Was good. That was so well spoken.
Brooke
What do you think about that, Elijah?
Elijah
All I heard was that she was talking about my clairvoyant.
Jeff
Who is this man?
Nicole
Your clairvoyant can meet me outside.
Alexis
Wow.
Brooke
Let's put the wife and the clairvoyant stuff aside.
Jeff
Can we get into it?
Brooke
What about just having fun with Nicole, going out on another date and enjoying this life?
Jeff
I mean, you've got a woman that has heard all of this and still wants to hang out with you.
Elijah
Yeah, I mean, I guess.
Nicole
Did I do something wrong specifically for you to block me?
Elijah
You weren't my wife. I don't know how many times I've told you that.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
He's like, do you not?
Nicole
Maybe I was. Maybe the clairvoyant is wrong. I mean, I'm just saying, I don't like being rejected. And I also have to say that, like, I think it's just really short sighted. We had a great time.
Elijah
Yeah, well, I know this. My wife didn't talk that much in another lifetime.
Brooke
Okay, well, that's a pretty clear sign.
Nicole
Oh, my gosh.
Alexis
Who else feels like the wife is purposely avoiding him now?
Jeff
Dude. Yeah, the wife wasn't born into this century.
Nicole
Maybe that's my point in this lifetime. To tell you to be more accepting of your future life in another realm.
Jeff
Okay, so after that, he's so.
Brooke
I know Nicole still is fighting for this, so.
Jeff
Elijah, I think she's just fighting.
Brooke
I get that you have doubts about Nicole. What if you and Nicole went to your clairvoyant together and we would pay for the Uber ride?
Alexis
Oh, my God. Can we have a fight?
Jeff
Serious.
Brooke
Give it a chance.
Jeff
Would Nicole even do that?
Nicole
Honestly, I'm just confused and curious as to what the clairvoyant would tell me about my path.
Jeff
I don't really want to know. It's gonna lead you down at dark trail.
Brooke
I want this to happen. So, yeah, that's a yes from Nicole. Elijah, it's up to you.
Elijah
My clairvoyant is in chief, so if she pays half, then I'm cool with it.
Brooke
All right, Nicole, I'm sure you're down for that.
Nicole
I mean, hey, if it's on the radio, we can even come back and tell you guys how it goes.
Jeff
I don't know if I want to know. Do we want to know that that's.
Brooke
Going to be a no from all of us? Hey, it sounds like it's a yes. Elijah and Nicole, you guys are going out together in this realm.
Jeff
Ooh, I can't wait till we Do a second date update from the next realm.
Alexis
That's gonna be expensive. Phone bill.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Is that literally the only second date update where we actually got a yes, but then said, we don't need an update. We're good.
Jeff
Yeah.
Alexis
That is.
Brooke
We don't wanna know anymore.
Alexis
I cannot remember ever.
Jeff
I am still baffled by that entire conversation. I don't know what was real, who believed what if they were being sincere.
Alexis
Okay, well, I'm sorry. Girls asked for commitment. This guy's committed over, what, hundreds of years? Now he's in trouble. He's the most romantic guy ever.
Jeff
Valid point.
Brooke
True.
Jeff
Valid point. Maybe you are his wife. It'll pass. Life.
Brooke
Yeah.
Alexis
You know what I mean. I'm waiting for you, honey.
Brooke
Yeah, I do think maybe the missing piece in all of this is. Is it possible Elijah had been smoking something when we called him?
Alexis
You know, he sounded like. That's his vibe. Like he didn't sound like a big, mysterious person.
Brooke
He was trying to reach the other dimension through different means. Find his wife. Yeah, trying to find his w. That way.
Alexis
I don't see her yet. I see a dragon. That's not her.
Jeff
I think Alexis was on to something where he actually probably did have a wife and she just chose not to come back. She's like that. That's not worth coming back again.
Brooke
Yeah, I called it after our 400th marriage. Yeah, it's enough for me. Text in 78592 and make sure you follow us wherever you get your podcast. If it's on Spotify, Apple, wherever. At Brooke and Jeffrey.

Podcast Title: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Host/Author: iHeartPodcasts
Episode: Second Date Update: I Hope It's You
Release Date: November 8, 2024
In the episode titled "Second Date Update: I Hope It's You," hosts Brooke and Jeff delve into the intriguing and somewhat bewildering story of their listener, Nicole, who experienced an unexpected twist after what appeared to be a promising first date. This detailed summary captures the essence of the discussions, key insights, humorous exchanges, and the ultimate conclusion of the episode.
Nicole’s Story: Nicole reaches out to Brooke and Jeff to share her unfortunate experience of being ghosted by Elijah, a man she met on a dating app. Elijah’s profile explicitly stated he was "here to find my wife with intentionality" ([03:10]). Intrigued by his seriousness, Nicole initiated a date that unfolded in an unconventional yet charming manner.
The Unique First Date: Nicole and Elijah chose a local dog park for their first meeting, both being animal lovers without pets ([05:07]-[05:24]). They spent time watching dogs and engaging in meaningful conversations, which Nicole found refreshing amidst the often superficial dating scene. The date progressed to a romantic drive around the city, culminating in an intimate moment where Elijah expressed his genuine intent by saying, "I'm looking for my wife and I don't want this to be a one night thing" ([06:05]).
Unexpected Ghosting: Despite the promising connection, about a week and a half later, Nicole discovered that Elijah had blocked her on the dating app and deleted his entire profile. Her attempt to reach out via Instagram was met with a block again ([08:12]-[09:02]). Confused and seeking closure, Nicole turned to Brooke and Jeff for assistance.
Notable Quotes:
Brooke and Jeff’s Perspective: Brooke and Jeff discuss the intensity of Elijah’s approach to dating, noting how his clear intent to find a wife might both attract and intimidate potential matches ([05:40]-[07:00]). They empathize with Nicole’s confusion and frustration over being abruptly cut off despite a seemingly deep connection.
Potential Red Flags: The hosts explore possible reasons behind Elijah’s sudden disappearance. They speculate whether Nicole might have inadvertently done something wrong or if Elijah simply moved on to someone else ([08:24]-[09:28]). The surprising removal of Elijah’s presence across all platforms suggests a deliberate effort to vanish without a trace.
Humorous Take: Jeff humorously suggests that Elijah's intentions might be too serious, leading to the confusion and abrupt ending ([10:33]-[10:35]).
Notable Quotes:
Initiating Contact: Determined to uncover the truth, Brooke and Jeff decide to call Elijah live on air as part of their "Second Date Update" segment. The conversation quickly takes an unexpected turn when Elijah reveals a bizarre twist in his quest for a wife.
Elijah’s Revelation: Elijah discloses that he consulted a clairvoyant who informed him that his soulmate, his wife, exists in another realm and not in the current one ([13:16]-[14:02]). This revelation leads to a surreal and humorous exchange where Elijah explains his belief in past lives and eternal soulmates.
Nicole’s Reaction: Nicole challenges Elijah’s claims, expressing frustration over the lack of closure and the sudden disappearance, stating, "I think this clairvoyant is really messing with you" ([16:16]-[16:42]).
Hosts’ Attempts to Mediate: Brooke suggests that both parties visit the clairvoyant together to seek clarity, while Jeff remains skeptical of the mystical explanations ([18:05]-[18:45]). The interaction becomes increasingly humorous as the hosts and Elijah navigate the peculiar narrative.
