Podcast Summary: Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

Episode: "Love Bombs Away"

Air Date: December 1, 2025

---

Overview

This episode of “Second Date Update” centers on Leon, a self-proclaimed “love bomber,” who seeks clarity after being ghosted by Angela following their brief first date. The hosts probe whether Leon’s intense romantic gestures were too much, too soon, and call Angela to uncover her perspective. The result is an energetic, cringingly funny exploration of dating boundaries, self-awareness, and why bigger is not always better in early romance.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Love Bombing Defined and Owned

• Leon’s Candid Admission:
  • From the moment Leon calls in, he embraces his “love bomber” reputation, justifying it as “my natural style” due to infrequent matches and a yearning to make a big impression.
  • Notable quote:
    • Leon (04:29): “Yeah, definitely. I mean, I just think it’s my natural style. I like going over the top for girls. And if we’re being honest with each other, I’m not getting a ton of matches out there. So the ones that I am getting, I really want to go over the top and really try to connect with them.”

2. The Date: Grocery Store and 20-Minute Coffee

• The pair met at a grocery store—a classic “rom-com” setup, as the hosts joke.
• Their brief coffee date (“like 20 minutes”) included “vibing,” laughing, a long hug, and discussions about therapy and fashion.
• Positive Early Signals:
  • Angela reportedly touched Leon’s hand, which he took as a good sign.
  • Notable quote:
    • Leon (06:24): “Yeah. In that time, I could just tell that we were vibing. I was making her laugh...she’s sort of touching my hand a little bit.”

3. The Love Bombs Drop (Post-Date Grand Gestures)

• Instagram Tag:
  • Leon posts a city skyline with the caption “Today felt different,” tagging Angela—after only one date.
• Personal Playlist:
  • Creates and texts her a Spotify playlist titled “Us.”
• Follow-Up Overload:
  • Multiple texts and voicemails in quick succession.
• Notable exchange:
  • Co-host (08:11): “This is like what my angsty self did at 16 for boys that I like.”
  • Leon (08:29): “Yeah, I’m not sorry about it. I mean, ‘us’ means us.”
• Timeline:
  • Last voicemail: three hours before the show (09:29)

4. Hosts Reflect on Self-Awareness and Restraint

• Playful debate on whether Leon can “tone it down” for the right person or if that compromises his identity.
• Brooke (11:07): “If it was too much for her, are you willing to tone it down until you're in an actual relationship with the other person?”
• Leon (11:16): “I…yeah. Yes. I…I don’t know.”

---

The Confrontation: Angela’s Side of the Story

1. Angela’s Immediate Impressions

• She knew during the date it wasn't going to work—citing discomfort from the very start.
• Angela (13:52): “I mean, I pretty much knew. I mean, we only met for, like, maybe 30 minutes, our date, but, like, I mean, I knew during the day that it wasn’t gonna work out.”

2. Red Flags on the Date

• Awkward Joke About OnlyFans:
  • Leon greeted her by asking if she could afford her nice car because she was “on OnlyFans.”
  • Angela (14:18): “…he gives me a hug or whatever when I come in. And he was like, ‘oh, that’s a nice car. How did you afford that? Are you on OnlyFans?’”
• Unsolicited ‘Court Appearance’ Disclosure:
  • Leon says he’s dressed up for court, but won’t elaborate, only raising more questions.
  • Angela (14:57): “…he said, ‘I don't usually dress up, but I have court today.’ …and I was like, why are you going to court? …He was like, no, I don't want to talk about it.”
• Disturbing Therapy Confession:
  • Claims his therapist told him to “stop proposing to girls on dates”—while staring at her intensely.
  • Angela (15:25): “…he told me that his therapist told him that he needs to stop proposing to girls on dates as he’s staring deeply into my eyes…”
• Persistent Follow-Up:
  • Multiple calls, texts, and the infamous playlist felt overwhelming.

3. Angela’s Verdict

• She clarifies—directly and unequivocally—that she is not interested in another date.
• Angela (18:34): “Directly, I'm saying not into it.”

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Co-host (10:30): “He is gonna go for it full force and drop a love nuke right on you.”
• Angela (13:18): “I mean, he’s a lot of something.”
• Angela (18:05): “I mean, I felt nervous.”
• Leon (19:11): “I heard her. I respect it. And I don't want to dance with somebody who doesn't want to dance with me.”
  • (Hosts connect this to a lyric on the playlist he made.)

Hosts’ Recap and Reflections

• Jeffrey (20:46): “It started with him just being rude.”
• They note the “love bombing” wasn’t the deal-breaker—his lack of self-filter was.
• Emphasis on holding back in early dates and respecting boundaries:
  • Co-host (21:19): “No. It's never been good. You gotta pace yourself. Yeah, exactly. And it's healthy, you know, it's healthy to develop a connection with someone before you drop down on one knee in a coffee shop.”

---

Tone and Takeaway

The episode is a classic “Second Date Update” blend of sharp humor, slightly painful honesty, and dating cringe. The hosts needle Leon but remain empathetic, using his story as a cautionary tale: grand gestures are best served once you know the feeling is mutual. The collapse of the date wasn’t due to love bombing per se, but to Leon’s awkward, boundary-pushing banter and inability to pick up on Angela’s signals.

Summary for New Listeners

This episode hilariously details the dangers of coming on too strong—and too weird—on a first date. If you’re ever tempted to make a playlist called “Us” before a second coffee, maybe listen to Brooke and Jeffrey first.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Hey, welcome back. Hope everybody had a wonderful holiday. Yes, if it wasn't that great, I hope you just survived. You know you got through it.

[Jeffrey]

That works.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Sometimes that's all you can do. We got a brand new second date for you today. It's coming up in this episode but first, a comment. What do you got? Yeah, Xavier said the funniest thing I saw today was that Spotify recommended second date updates under the relationship advice section.

[Angela]

You officially made it.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

I hope that Spotify realizes this isn't good advice. Yeah, right. Clearly they didn't listen to the segment.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. You're like, everyone's listening to this. All right, Millions of people.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Here we go. Judge for yourself. Is this advice or not? Your second date, brand new episode starts right now.

[Jeffrey]

Second date update. Brooke, let me ask you something. Okay? I've seen a quick yay, nay, or hey, neighbor. Okay. Underrated quality in the dating world today. Self awareness.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Oh, hey, neighbor.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, aren't you aware of the neighbor if you're talking to them?

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

I wasn't quite sure why to respond that way.

[Jeffrey]

You got excited.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

It would be a yes, but it's more fun to say that.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, it is. We didn't need the sultry part of it, though, like, hey, neighbor, is your wife out right now? She pulled her shirt down over her shoulder. It's a little much, but, yeah. Self awareness, it just. It feels like kind of a rare thing nowadays.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Oh, man. It doesn't exist on social media, that's for sure.

[Jeffrey]

Or on the show. But one of our listeners, Leon, has it because he messaged us saying he believes he knows why he's being blown off, because he is an unabashed love bomber. That's just how he rolls. And maybe it's not for everybody, but it's his preferred style. So, Leon, welcome to the show, man.

[Leon]

Hey, thanks for having me.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Okay. Are you proud of being a love bomber?

[Leon]

Yeah, definitely. I mean, I just think it's my natural style. I like going over the top for girls. And if we're being honest with each other, I'm not getting a ton of matches out there. So the ones that I am getting, I really want to go over the top and really try to connect with them.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

All right. I'm excited to hear what he did.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Well, we'll get to the love bomb fest in just a second, but tell us first about this lady that you met. What's her name? Where'd you meet her?

[Leon]

Her name is Angela, and I just met her at the grocery store the other day, and she was so cute. She had, like, auburn hair and green eyes. She's really beautiful.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Interesting.

[Leon]

I just worked up the courage to ask her out.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

A grocery store meetup is a love bomber's dream, right?

[Angela]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

You know.

[Jeffrey]

What do you mean?

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Well, it's just like every rom com ever and love bombers. Love to live out the rom com.

[Jeffrey]

How did this extra flower end up in my cart? I think.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Yes, for you exactly.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, Jose, you're talking about a bag of flour. I guess. Yeah, that is kind of romantic.

[Leon]

See, it was actually a bag of avocados.

[Jeffrey]

Wow, now you're balling.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you're gonna go bad in 24 hours.

[Angela]

I know.

[Jeffrey]

Just drop like a stack of hundreds in front of her, why don't you?

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Well, do you know how to be bag of avocados? You had to sit squished before he found the perfect one.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I'm sure. Guacamole already? You've put a lot of effort in. More than most men. So this is romantic. Let's get to the actual day. What did you do when you met up?

[Leon]

Well, we just got coffee and it wasn't that long either. We only had like 20 minutes. She, you know, she's high class. She has a really good job. I don't even understand her job. She's clearly very smart.

[Jeffrey]

That's how cool it is.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

I have so many friends like that where they tell me 800 times what they do and I'm like, I have no idea.

[Jeffrey]

Zero follow up questions.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Yeah, I know.

[Jeffrey]

Cool. All right. That's nice. You're dating a smart lady.

[Leon]

Yeah. In that time I could just tell that we were vibing, I was making her laugh. I don't know, she's like sort of touching my hand a little bit.

[Jeffrey]

That's good. Wow, she touched your hand. That's really good. Touching it or swatting it away from.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

You because you're basically like strangers at this point. You've never even talked.

[Jeffrey]

That is true.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Which is why I think 20 minutes is okay. It's almost like a pre date that you went on. You know, it's like a screener.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, yeah. Give us the big, like, highlight moment from the coffee date.

[Leon]

I don't know. We were talking about how both of our therapists also need therapy.

[Angela]

But we.

[Leon]

Both were talking about how much we believe in therapy. Overall. She's very fashionable. We were talking about our outfits, and at the end, I didn't try to kiss her, but there was like a long hug.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Like, where she was also holding you. Yeah, this is where his love bombing comes in.

[Angela]

Hug attack.

[Leon]

Yeah. And then I said I'd reach out and we left it at that.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Okay.

[Angela]

Okay.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

So it doesn't sound like you keep saying you love. You're like, into love bombing. But all of this sounds really normal.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it sounds a little Exaggerated.

[Leon]

Well, I did do a few things afterwards.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Jeffrey]

What'd you do?

[Angela]

I don't know.

[Leon]

Maybe she thought I overdid it, but I'm not sorry. I posted an Instagram story of the city skyline and I captioned it. Today felt different, and I tagged her in it.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Oh, wow. You think that's that bad? He found her on Insta and then tapped her in a story. Yeah, but he didn't post a picture of her that she didn't know was taken.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, this doesn't sound too bad. Was there more?

[Leon]

I also created a Spotify playlist titled Us, and I texted it there.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

This is like what my angsty self did at 16 for boys that I like.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you can always come back from them. Be like. I meant, like, us. Like usa, United States.

[Angela]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

I'm not weird and clingy.

[Brooke]

No.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

He's not apologetic, Jeff. He's not going to make excuses.

[Jeffrey]

No, and you shouldn't.

[Leon]

Yeah, I'm not sorry about it. I mean, us means us.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Okay, but there's no us yet when you've only spent 20 minutes with someone. That's kind of the problem. I think that a lot of people would appreciate what you're doing once you're in a relationship together.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, was that the end of the love bombing, or is. Is there any more?

[Leon]

I mean, afterwards, I've been calling her and I sent multiple text messages. I'm just not getting any feedback from her.

[Jeffrey]

That's not bad. Tax collectors do that to me, and I don't think that's love bombing.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

So, I mean, I don't mean to be mean, because I think your heart is in the right place, but you're kind of scaring her.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, you know what? We'll find out from her if she picks up the phone. Yeah, we have to call Angela and figure out if he crossed her line, because if she was reciprocating and they're love bombing back and forth forth, it'd be a different story. Yeah. So how long has it been since the coffee date?

[Leon]

That was two and a half weeks ago.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

I think the better question is how long has it been since the last voicemail you left?

[Leon]

That was three hours ago.

[Jeffrey]

It's the morning. What the. Wow. She's probably not up yet. That's why she didn't answer. He had to leave a message in.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

The last 10 before that.

[Jeffrey]

This is a big misunderstanding. I'm sure, Leon. And we're going to clear it all up when we call Angela for your second date update. Right after this. Hold on. Second date update. If you're just joining us, our listener Leon told us that he is a self proclaimed love bomber.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Oh, proudly, yes.

[Jeffrey]

What does that mean? After his 20 minute coffee date with Angela? Well, it means he left her multiple voicemails, countless text messages, and even created a Spotify playlist titled us. And he is not sorry about it because when Leon feels it's right, he is gonna go for it full force and drop a love nuke right on you. Yeah, get him.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Nobody likes nuclear bombs. I mean that's. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

General statement. Yeah, Oppenheimer was kind of a fan, but unfortunately we're not sure Angela survived the love bombing because she stopped responding altogether. That was brutal. It's not looking great, but in an exercise of optimism here, there's always the chance she's building up her own romantic arsenal to love bomb you right back. Did you think about that, Leon?

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

That is really optimistic.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Leon]

I did not. That would be great.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

That would be great.

[Jeffrey]

You got a lot to live up to, so it could take some time.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Here's the question. If it was too much for her, are you willing to tone it down until you're in a actual relationship with the other person?

[Leon]

I. Yeah. Yes. I. I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

You're asking him to change himself.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

I'm not asking him to change himself. I'm just asking him to like restraint.

[Jeffrey]

To be a different person.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

No, you're not a different person. You can still be romantic. It's just maybe little doses instead of all at once. I don't know if a tone down love bomber is possible.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, unfortunately we love.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

It's just not very healthy.

[Jeffrey]

You don't have to take advice from Brooke. She's been stuck in a marriage for like 15 years. Okay, don't barely pepper in love once a year.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Whatever.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, let's just go. We're about to call her and Brooke. If she does answer, should we bring up the love bombing to her? Because normally I would say no, let's try to avoid this. But it's so out there, so frequent. I don't think we can get around.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

It after the playlist titled us. It's something we can't.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Shy away from. I guess it'll feel better to know that he is self aware of it. Yeah. Honestly, like that knows that.

[Angela]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

That might actually change her mind on the whole thing.

[Jeffrey]

I'll just try not to use the term love bomb.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

What are you going to say?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I don't know. Loves a lot.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

I think it's fine.

[Jeffrey]

I'll just say some nice gestures.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Well, we'll see how that goes.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, let's see. Yeah, we'll see if she even answers. I'm at a dollar number right now. Let's do this.

[Angela]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hi, this is Angela.

[Angela]

This is Angela. Who's calling?

[Jeffrey]

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

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Oh, God, I don't want to come.

[Angela]

Hi. Good morning.

[Jeffrey]

We love you.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Oh, God.

[Jeffrey]

Just kidding. Yeah, no, we are very excited to get to talk to you because we've. We've actually heard a lot about you.

[Angela]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

She's in a good mood, guys. Hopefully this keeps going because one of our listeners has asked us to get a hold of you. A guy you went on a date with named Leon.

[Angela]

Oh, God, that guy.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, Leon. He's a funny dude, huh?

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

He's a lot.

[Angela]

I mean, he's a lot of something.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

All right. Okay. Interesting character kind of vibe or whatever.

[Angela]

Interesting is a good word for it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Angela]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You are being very, very polite, Angela.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Yeah, that's great. That's great. I mean, honestly, I'm just glad you're not scared.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, let's not start there with that word.

[Angela]

You were worried.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Yeah, I was.

[Jeffrey]

We were curious. We were curious about what you think of Leon in the two and a half weeks since your date ended. Because we've heard a lot's happen.

[Angela]

I mean, I pretty much knew. I mean, we only met for, like, maybe 30 minutes, our date, but, like, I mean, I knew during the day that it wasn't gonna work out.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no. Oh, interesting.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

You didn't want to take it any further then, huh?

[Angela]

No. And he has been calling and texting a lot, so.

[Jeffrey]

Take hints, by the way. Totally. But if you don't mind me asking, Angela, can you tell us what happened, like, on the date?

[Angela]

I mean, it. Honestly, it started, like, right away. Like, you know, we were meeting for coffee, and he got there early to get us a seat or whatever. So, like, he saw me pull in. You know, I got one of those money spots right in front, and I get out and, you know, he gives me a hug or whatever when I come in. And he was like, oh, that's a nice car. How did you afford that? Are you on? Only van.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

What? Oh, wow. The audacity.

[Angela]

Literally, that was the greeting. Are you on? Only, like, at one point, I complimented his jacket, and he said. Said, I don't usually dress up, but I have court today and he's not a lawyer. And I was like, why Are you going to court? Because that's what you do when somebody says that.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

I know. And you're just, like, loaded question.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Angela]

Yeah. No, you wouldn't tell me. He was like, no, I don't want to talk about it. And I was like, you said it.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Why would he even say the court part?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that was dumb. Things are starting to become a little more clear.

[Angela]

Yeah. It was a lot. Well, and then. Okay. Well, and then, like, the kicker for.

[Jeffrey]

Me was more okay.

[Angela]

Okay. So we're both in therapy, which he was open about that, and so, like. That's good.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Angela]

He told me that his therapist told him that he needs to stop proposing to girls on dates as he's staring deeply into my eyes. So I start sweating. Like, I'm thinking, oh, my God, he's gonna propose.

[Jeffrey]

How? In the middle of a restaurant? How is that a bad thing?

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

What? Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

What if he feels the attraction to you so strongly that he wants to get down on a knee? It's like a movie, bro.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Jeff is being sarcastic.

[Angela]

Okay, good. That's crazy.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, this is clearly a lot. But you know what's not crazy is a man who loves love.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

I don't like this part.

[Jeffrey]

And a man who loves listening on the other phone line while we have a conversation on the radio. That man would be Leon, and he is here at the moment.

[Leon]

Hi, Angela.

[Angela]

Oh, hi.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

I bet that's not too much of a surprise. Honestly, this guy.

[Angela]

Yeah, I mean, it's. It's been a lot. The texting and the calling is a lot. The Spotify playlist labeled us. That was a lot.

[Leon]

I get it.

[Angela]

The only fans thing is weird. Okay. The only fans thing. I can think it was a lot.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Oh, he can explain it. He says.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, because we. We need to go through these things that you to her on the date. Leon. There's. They're pretty shocking.

[Leon]

I mean, it was kind of a joke, but I also just meant it as a compliment. I mean, the girls on there are, like, gorgeous millionaires.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Now you're making millions.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

You know what, Leon? Now we don't want to admit to someone we're dating that we spend a lot of time.

[Leon]

I read about it.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

You read about it.

[Angela]

Wow.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

I see there's a good recovery.

[Jeffrey]

He's so. He's so versed.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Can we jump to the court?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

What was going on? You said you had court that day.

[Leon]

Yeah. Doesn't everybody have court? I mean, like, what. But what if I was a juror?

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Were you a juror?

[Leon]

No, but what if I was?

[Jeffrey]

Well, it doesn't matter. You can't play the theoretical game, and we don't have a lot of time here. But I do have to ask you about your therapist warning you not to.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Propose to women, like, on first dates. Is this.

[Leon]

Is this a thing you do on first dates? This happened on, like, third dates. Jesus, you guys are making me sound weird or something. I just myself. And I love love.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Okay, this is at the point where we encourage you to listen to your therapist.

[Leon]

Yeah, I am listening to my therapist, and I feel like she would want me to ask you. Didn't you feel anything when we were together? Weren't you having a good time?

[Angela]

I mean, I felt nervous.

[Leon]

That's totally fair. I told you that. I mean, of course you're entitled to feel however you want, because I'm feeling however I want.

[Angela]

But why then does me not responding to texts and calls not let you know how I feel?

[Leon]

I appreciate when people are direct with me, that's all.

[Jeffrey]

For some reason, can't tell.

[Angela]

I have a hard time believing that that would actually work with you.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

But okay.

[Angela]

Directly, I'm saying not into it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Because despite what Leon's therapist suggests, I'm gonna propose that the two of you go out on another date. Well said, Jeff.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Just one more man who can't understand what you're trying to say.

[Jeffrey]

Angela, I'm legally obligated. They're not a court way. But I am obligated to ask you if you'd like to see each other one more time. And we'd pay for it. Angela, it's up to you.

[Angela]

No, I don't want to do that. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

I am absolutely shocked.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

I did not see this coming. Angela.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

I think, more importantly, Leon, did you hear her?

[Leon]

I heard her. I respect it. And I don't want to dance with somebody who doesn't want to dance with me.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

There it is.

[Jeffrey]

Boundaries, brother.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Good job.

[Jeffrey]

That was a lyric from his Spotify playlist. Yeah, for sure. That was the last song. I hope she got there. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Angela]

Limu Emu.

[Jeffrey]

[Jeffrey]

It's funny. The love bombing part actually had nothing to do with her saying no to another date.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

No, I mean, it started with him just being rude.

[Jeffrey]

Actually, she'd already said no in her mind before it, to be fair. Yeah, but, you know, if you're a romantic person at heart and you like doing things for other people, I think that's good. But on dates one through three, you really have to resist.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And not just the proposing like Leon loves to do. I mean, on all of it, you gotta hold back because it's too much too soon.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Now society, it's. You can't do that.

[Co-host (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke)]

No. It's never been good. You gotta pace yourself. Yeah, exactly. And it's healthy, you know, it's healthy to develop a connection with someone before you drop down on one knee in a coffee shop.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's a good thought. Ironically, the people who enjoy love bombing the most are the ones working on OnlyFans. And apparently he just read about it. So kind of doomed from the start. But look, if you want to go to Spotify and check out our podcast or this new playlist I just made called them for Leon and Angela.
