[Jeffrey]

Well, this one's a bold one. Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning and your new second date podcast. Right now, I'll just say one of our listeners met a guy while he was working, and 10 seconds later, he was in her home and they were on a date. Honestly, impressive on her part. I don't know. I don't know if I'd recommend this move, but you'll hear it in just a second. Alexis, what are you seeing on the comment section? Said, you guys, I'm recently single and I've decided I'm gonna go on back to back first dates every day and not call them back until one of them asks you to get me on for a second date update. Don't do it. It's not worth your time and energy. I really hope we hear you one day.

[Brooke]

I hope that you're dating our listeners. I've never heard of our show.

[Jeffrey]

Tell us your, like, handle, though, when you call in.

[Sophia]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, because if your name's like, Chad, we're not gonna know. No. Yeah. All right. Beware of Moonster out there, daters. All right, it. Second date update. And it starts right now.

[Brooke]

Second date update. How does the saying go? When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade?

[Dr. Lea Tritate]

That's.

[Jeffrey]

That's it.

[Brooke]

We try to find the silver lining in an otherwise crappy situation. Apparently, that's what our listener Sophia did recently. She took her lemons and made it into data aid. Hey, that's a good lemon lime kind. That was really funny. I deserve more laugh. J. That's okay.

[Jeffrey]

I liked it too. I thought it was all right. Could have been better.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I didn't hear anything. I'm kind of immediate on it myself, but let's just talk to Sophia about it. Sophia, welcome to the show.

[Sophia]

Hi. How are you?

[Brooke]

You get it?

[Jeffrey]

Hopefully it doesn't turn into haterade.

[Sophia]

Oh, boy.

[Brooke]

That was actually funnier than my joke. So I'm glad that her joke got more last. Is mad now. So, Sophia, tell us, what was this bad situation that led you to a date?

[Sophia]

Well, technically, it wasn't really a formal date, but it was more like a hangout session we talked about.

[Brooke]

Okay, okay. Should we hang up on her then? Should we cancel this?

[Sophia]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Jeffrey]

We have all sorts of just hangouts on this show. Okay, on this segment, how did it.

[Brooke]

Start with a bad situation? What's that about?

[Sophia]

So, I mean, it was kind of funny. I accidentally locked myself out of my house.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Sophia]

Yeah, I'd gone out with friends I got home late. Like, it was after midnight at this point.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Sophia]

Yeah. So I had to call locksmith.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You are a really put together drunk girl. Because I would have just cried. Crashed through a window.

[Sophia]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay. You needed a locksmith. And what happened?

[Sophia]

Yes. So I finally got a hold of this guy named Hank. And, I mean, he sounded like he just woke up, honestly. And so I asked him if he could come help me, you know, open the door to my house. But when he showed up, it was not what I expected when he said his name was Hank. Here's a honk for sure. Hank.

[Brooke]

Nice. A locksmith, really?

[Sophia]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

So now, obviously your mind is shifting. Shifting from this is going to be a locksmith to this is going to be a potential. Now you're trying to lock down this.

[Sophia]

Exactly.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Control today. I love it.

[Brooke]

How does that go?

[Sophia]

I mean, okay, so basically, he gets into my house within 10 seconds, makes.

[Jeffrey]

You feel safe about your door. You're like, all right.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's how easy it is.

[Jeffrey]

So did you, like, invite him for a drink? I mean, he's at work.

[Brooke]

It's like three in the morning with Tyler. You said it was midnight, right? Or something weird.

[Sophia]

I literally. I have no idea what time it was at that point. But I did offer him. I was like, do you want to come inside? You on a water or soda or anything?

[Jeffrey]

Wow. And he took you up on it.

[Sophia]

I mean, I could tell he kind of wanted to stay like he wanted, but I don't think if he could really pick up on the subtext of what I was trying to say.

[Brooke]

Yeah, and if he can tell you've been drinking, he may be like, you know, you're a little out of it right now, working.

[Jeffrey]

You could get him fired.

[Brooke]

Yeah, totally.

[Jeffrey]

Is the 10 seconds it took for him to get into your house, your hangout?

[Sophia]

No.

[Brooke]

Okay, there's more.

[Sophia]

No, like, we ended up talking for, like, 30, 40 minutes. I, like, we. You know, I started with some small talk, and I was like, oh, goodness, I bet it's so hard to have a family with this kind of job.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, look at.

[Sophia]

You said he's single.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Sophia]

But I still don't. Like, I thought I was being kind of obvious, but I don't think he really got that at that point. But once I finally was like, here, take my Instagram. I think he kind of figured out you got to spell it out for guys sometimes.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

So you guys started chatting on Insta.

[Sophia]

Not quite. You know, we had some small chat, and I thought, honestly, the Interaction was better than any date I've been on in, like, a year. Honest.

[Brooke]

The guy breaks into your house in 30 minutes, and that interaction is a better date than you've ever had.

[Jeffrey]

Well, he's kind of a hero. Jeff needed him to break in.

[Brooke]

I got to break down more doors randomly in front of women.

[Jeffrey]

You got to be careful, though, because you were drunk. Drunk, right. Like, you were a little tipsy. Like, you don't know.

[Sophia]

Yeah. But I will tell you, it is the only locksmith I have ever hugged before.

[Jeffrey]

Have you seen him in daylight sober? Yeah. This is what I'm thinking too. I'm like, Hank, really? Like, I remember one time I went to a fancy dinner and there was a sommelier that I thought was the most gorgeous man I had ever laid eyes on. And then the next day, because I forgot my purse, I had to go back and he was there and I.

[Brooke]

Went, oh, yeah, the dark lighting, not the same.

[Jeffrey]

And like, the heroesque moment, you know, like, I don't understand.

[Brooke]

Are you trying to talk her out of calling this guy?

[Jeffrey]

I'm just worried.

[Brooke]

I don't care what you say. I promise you, Hank is ugly. Your memory of him is way better than what he's actually gonna be.

[Jeffrey]

I'm wondering if she ever saw pictures of him or, like, they connected on Insta. Did you go to his Insta, like, the next day? Have you seen him sober?

[Brooke]

Have you confirmed his good looks?

[Sophia]

I haven't seen him in person or his Instagram because he has not followed me back.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's it?

[Jeffrey]

Is that not our answer? Are we calling his work cell phone then? To try to get you a date?

[Sophia]

Honestly, I think he's kind of a one man shopper. So, like, I've been trying to text him and he said he's been busy, but to let him know if I lock myself out again. And so I don't know if that means he really just wants to business or if he's kind of interested in not showing it. But he has been asking me out. But I thought we had a vibe.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Sophia]

I would love it if y' all could find out for me why he has like.

[Brooke]

Yeah, you do realize that he very politely said no.

[Jeffrey]

Like, but maybe. Maybe he doesn't get it. Maybe he's not reading her right.

[Brooke]

But she did give him her Instagram handle, so he should at least have a little bit of a clue that there's more interest than just opening doors. You don't just do that. So we'll find out. We're going to call Hank here. And. And we will ask him, why didn't you try to date the drunk girl whose front door you busted down?

[Jeffrey]

He better than Brooke Sommelier experience.

[Brooke]

Seriously?

[Jeffrey]

Honestly, he was in a linen shirt. He was so hot that night.

[Brooke]

Okay, we'll find out how hot he really is and get some answers for you when we do your second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update. If you're just joining us for the second date, our listener, Sophia, is trying to score another hangout with the sexy locksmith who broke down her front door.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she is.

[Brooke]

Those are two words I never thought I'd hear back to back. Sexy locksmith. Sorry, that's not a euphemism either. Hank, the hunky locksmith, helped her gain access to her house when she locked herself out late one night. They hung out for about 30 minutes, just chatting and vibing. And she said that interaction was better than any actual date that she's been on in a long time.

[Sophia]

Dude.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

That is such a bad state for dating.

[Brooke]

Yeah, she showed up and did what he said he would do, and that was amazing.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

But she also mentioned he felt like he was lingering, like, wanting to hang out with her a little longer. She did say to him kind of flirtatiously, it must be hard taking midnight calls when you have a family waiting at home. And he told her he was single.

[Jeffrey]

Which is great news.

[Brooke]

Yeah, but is it possible? Because I was thinking about this in the break. Is it possible Hank maybe lied there and then felt guilty because he really does have a girlfriend? Or a wife?

[Jeffrey]

Even if he was a wife, he'd still have his ring on? Because no man would think, like, in the middle of the night, oh, call, I better take off my wedding ring.

[Brooke]

Maybe the ring gets in the way of you picking locks. Ah, you never would.

[Jeffrey]

That's why I can't get in anywhere.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's cumbersome. Because you're married.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I got a ring on.

[Brooke]

But do you think that's a possibility, Sophia? That he lied about being single and now just feels guilty about it?

[Sophia]

I don't know. It would be kind of weird to do that.

[Brooke]

But if he's as hot as you say he is, then how would he possibly still be single?

[Sophia]

That's what I was scared of.

[Brooke]

I asked myself that question all the time in the mirror. Like, how?

[Jeffrey]

How?

[Brooke]

Okay, I don't know. Hopefully Hank has some answers if he picks up the phone.

[Jeffrey]

But, you know, it'll finally be clear to him that you want to go on a date.

[Sophia]

Hopefully.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. The whole point of this call, that.

[Brooke]

Would be hilarious if he's like, wait, you like me? Yeah, that would be so funny. Sometimes it takes a guy like five, six, seven clues to finally get it. So we'll see what Hank has to say. I'm gonna dial his number right now. Here we.

[Hank]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Hey, is this Hank?

[Hank]

Yes, this is.

[Brooke]

Oh, deep voice.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, business voice.

[Brooke]

Yeah, he kind of sounds hot, though.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I know. Hello? I mean, Hank is one of those unsuspecting hot names.

[Hank]

What's. What's going on?

[Brooke]

Hey, sorry, we're just. We're sidebarring about. About something. But you. You're on the radio right now, actually, that's why there's a whole bunch of people here. This is a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Hank]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Hey, good morning, man. Were you up late last night? You sound a little tired.

[Hank]

I'm no more than usual.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay. Well, we don't want to waste any more of your time. We'll just tell you. This is a segment that we do. It's called a second date update.

[Jeffrey]

And that would probably be confusing for you because you didn't technically go on any dates. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Basically, we're trying to help out one of our listeners to get back in touch with you, a woman whose door you opened recently. It's a woman named Sophia.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. You were the hero she was looking for that night.

[Sophia]

Yay.

[Hank]

Okay, so what?

[Brooke]

Well, we don't know what type of vibe you got when you were hanging out with Sophia, but from what we heard, she was feeling something going on between the two of you.

[Hank]

Yeah, I picked that up.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you did?

[Brooke]

You did? Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Hank]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

What'd you think of Sophia?

[Hank]

I mean, she is cute. She would usually be my type. It's just I. I don't really. I try not to date people who are already in a relationship.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, excuse me. What?

[Hank]

Wait, what?

[Brooke]

She's in a relationship or. I think you're confused. What gave you that impression?

[Jeffrey]

That's like the. Try not to.

[Brooke]

Sometimes can't help yourself.

[Jeffrey]

But that's really funny.

[Brooke]

You got the impression she was in a relationship, right?

[Hank]

Yeah. When she invited me inside that night, I was there about, I don't know, maybe half an hour, and she was giving me a drink. I noticed the place kind of doesn't look like a woman's place. And I was looking through her mail just because, you know, he was sitting there on the counter and there were a lot of guys names on the address label.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, so she doesn't have one relationship? She has multiple.

[Hank]

Yeah, when I said guys, I meant, you know, apostrophe ass. It's one guy.

[Jeffrey]

Did you ask her like, hey, does your boyfriend live here?

[Hank]

I mean, I'm the locksmith. It's not really my business to ask stuff like that.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

And be like, hey, who's this?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah, who's this? But you could easily say, oh, so, you know, you live alone, or you couldn't have called a roommate to help you unlock the door?

[Brooke]

Trust me, as a guy, you never ask a woman. So do you live by yourself?

[Jeffrey]

Good point. I did. A male in house.

[Brooke]

Is anybody going to be joining us here shortly or are we still safe? But that is scary. Now he's in the house. So are we alone? Yeah, exactly. You don't want to ask that.

[Hank]

I was on the clock. I was just doing the job, and then I left.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

It would be so stupid of her to call a radio station to publicly ask about a date if she had a boyfriend. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Like she wants to break up her own boyfriend. Let's clear this up once and for all, because here's the good news, Hank. We have Sophia already on the other line listening to this phone call. So she is all caught up on it. She just wants to talk to you.

[Hank]

What are you talking about?

[Brooke]

That's how this segment works. We have them quietly listening on the other line, ready to jump in and pounce.

[Hank]

Oh, no.

[Brooke]

Gentle. Okay. Slide in coyly, however you would join a conversation naturally. That's the way she wants to join in.

[Jeffrey]

Pounce, Sofia, pounce. Yeah, get him.

[Sophia]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Sophia.

[Sophia]

Yeah?

[Brooke]

Do you want to clear things up for us and for Hank and for everybody?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. This is going to be such an easy explanation. Who's the guy on the mail?

[Sophia]

I would just say it's. It's complicated, I guess. Oh, no.

[Brooke]

Complicated?

[Jeffrey]

What do you mean?

[Brooke]

Do you have a boyfriend?

[Sophia]

Technically, no. Okay, so technically, anyone.

[Jeffrey]

That answers the technically.

[Brooke]

Well, hold on. I'm down for technicalities. I'm willing to hear you out.

[Sophia]

All right. So it was my boyfriend's place at the time?

[Brooke]

No.

[Jeffrey]

At what time?

[Sophia]

But we were kind of on a break at that time. We had already gone through a rough patch. I did, officially. I broke up with him last night so I could make this call.

[Brooke]

Oh, man.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay. So. So he was out that night then? Obviously.

[Sophia]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Help you get in?

[Sophia]

Yeah, he was spending the night out.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. So that's. I mean, that's a good indication that maybe they were emotionally done.

[Sophia]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he's out Sometimes you can't help that. You can't help when you meet somebody if you did the right thing. And you broke up before.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Only now, on the other side of things, Hank. The bad news is maybe the boyfriend changed the locks again and she doesn't have anywhere to stay, so you need to let her stay with you. He calls Hank to change the locks. So, I don't know, Hank, does that change your perspective on this at all?

[Hank]

This whole thing's weird. Everything about this is weird.

[Brooke]

I agree.

[Sophia]

Look, I'm sorry it happened this way. I'm not with him anymore. Like. So, when you said Hank was better.

[Jeffrey]

Than any date you've been on. You met your boyfriend?

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Sophia]

What a good. I mean, yeah, I guess. Look, you never know when you're going to meet a locksmith that has the body of a Hensworth.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow. Hank.

[Jeffrey]

Hank, you need to change that to your business tagline.

[Brooke]

Yeah, who else has a feeling Alexis is going to be calling locksmiths at 2? Not to objectify you, Hank, but we heard that you're pretty good looking.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, here's the thing. Like, Hank, she could have just lied. Right now, at least she's being honest.

[Brooke]

I don't. I don't know if that really buys anything. It would have been nice if Sophia, you were. You were honest. And you told us that you had a boyfriend at the time that this all happened.

[Sophia]

I don't anymore.

[Jeffrey]

And you guys don't live together? You don't live together?

[Sophia]

Not anymore. We're separating it completely.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Sounds like it's ongoing.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I mean, this is in a week. I mean, how fast can you get a new place?

[Brooke]

Yeah, as fast as he can throw all the stuff outside of his apartment or whatever. Could just be saying this now while we're on the phone. Like, really, it just comes down to Hank here and where your head is at. Because we would like to offer to send you on another, I guess your first official date with Sophia. And we would pay for it. I mean, if you think about it, she says she was in a tough position. She was already breaking up with the guy. Plus, what kind of boyfriend doesn't leave a spare key somewhere nearby?

[Hank]

So I guess what I'd be willing to do is talk a little bit and I guess wait, because right now it just feels too weird.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, the door's open. You got your fucking compromise.

[Brooke]

Maybe you could start by accepting her Instagram friend request. Hank, that would go a long way. Yeah, you're, like, private or something.

[Hank]

Well, I mean, then she'd be seeing pictures of my wife. And that's not. I'm joking. I'm joking.

[Brooke]

Hot and funny. I was like, wait a minute. Okay, it's a no to an official date, but a yes to let's talk and see where things are in a month or a year or five years or so.

[Jeffrey]

Dude, keep us updated.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Sophia]

All right. I mean, I can. I can compromise with this.

[Brooke]

Okay, we may not have gotten a date, but at least we satisfied some of Brooke's fantasies for later on tonight.

[Jeffrey]

That would be locking up the whole house.

[Brooke]

Michael, look out.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

I don't know how all of you feel after we did that call, but it felt like maybe were we giving this girl a little bit of a pass because she sounded sweet and nice?

[Jeffrey]

I just, I think I was giving her a pass because she'd be too stupid if she was actually still in a relationship trying to get a date.

[Brooke]

It's just other times I feel like we would have hammered on the person if they had told us they were actively in a relationship when they met somebody else. And she didn't say that. Shouldn't even say like I was in my boyfriend's house. But we did kind of like pass on it because the guy was good looking. I tried to say something.

[Jeffrey]

We passed on it because they broke up and it was her house and the boyfriend didn't show up that night.

[Brooke]

If you're leveling up to Hemsworth level, then you know what? God bless you. It will be interesting to see if we can stay in touch with her and find out what happened down the line between her and the hunky locksmith.

I'm Jeff Perlman. And I'm Rick Jervis. We're journalists and hosts of the podcast Finding Sexy Sweat. At an internship in 1993, we roomed with Reggie Payne, aspiring reporter and rapper who went by Sexy Sweat. A couple years ago, we set out to find him. But in 2020, Reggie fell into a coma after police pinned him down, and he never woke up.

[Jeffrey]

But then I see my son's not moving.

[Brooke]

So we started digging and uncovered city officials bent on protect. Listen to finding sexy Sweat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
