Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Mistaken Identity at the Bar

[04:18 – 07:17]

• Awkward Realization: After 15 minutes, Noah and his date discover they both sat with the wrong person at the same venue and time, both waiting for different dates.

2. Date with the ‘Correct’ Match—But Something’s Off

[07:46 – 10:29]

• Split Decisions: Noah says goodbye to Chloe, gets her number, and returns to meet his intended date. The original date is "just okay."
  • “There just wasn’t that same connection there. I don’t know if that messed me up or whatever, but…it just wasn’t the same.” — Noah [09:40]
• Texting After: Noah reaches out to Chloe following the night, but her responses are short and lack enthusiasm.

3. Hosts Analyze the Situation

[11:10 – 12:38]

• Speculation: The hosts suggest Chloe might be burnt out or soured on dating after her intended date stood her up.

4. Calling Chloe—The Surprising Reveal

[12:54 – 16:17]

• Chloe’s Perspective: Chloe answers the call and reveals she felt Noah liked someone else more, having seen him interact with his “original” date after they parted ways.
• Admissions:
  • Chloe admits she stayed at the bar to observe Noah’s real date: “I kind of maybe didn’t leave the bar…I was just like, when else am I going to get another opportunity to see if the way he was with me was the way he actually is?” — Chloe [15:04]
  • She recounts seeing Noah buy his other date a flower and kiss her cheek.
    “He was smiling at her…like, after a while, he put his hand on her leg…he bought her a flower and he kissed her cheek.” — Chloe [15:42 & 16:17]
• Emotional Fallout: Chloe feels Noah’s later messages ("I was thinking about you the whole time") are disingenuous after witnessing what seemed like genuine chemistry with someone else.

5. Noah’s Confession: The Real Reason He’s Calling

[17:37 – 19:03]

• On-Air Honesty: Noah admits his original date (the intended match) rejected a second date, prompting him to pursue Chloe more seriously, raising concern he only called because his “first choice” turned him down.
  • “Well, all of those things…did happen, but…she had ditched me by that point. That’s why [I reached out to you].” — Noah [19:06]
• Chloe’s Response:
  • “But I’m nobody’s second choice.” — Chloe [20:26]
  • Despite liking Noah, she refuses to settle for being someone’s fallback.

6. Memorable and Awkward Moments

• The group discusses if Noah’s actions qualify as “gentlemanly” and debate the rankings of possible romantic interests.
• Noah is unphased by Chloe’s “spying”:
  • “To tell you the truth, I thought that was kind of hot. Nobody’s done that to me before.” — Noah [17:22]

• On Being ‘Second Choice’:
  • “I did really like him. But I’m nobody’s second choice.” — Chloe [20:26]
• Brooke and Jeffrey’s Dating Wisdom:

  • “Take the phrase ‘you’re my only option’ out of your dating lexicon because it turns out nobody finds that romantic.” — Jeffrey [22:45]
• Comic Relief:
  • “Nobody wants me. Why don’t you want to go out?” — Noah (mocking desperation) [20:01]
  • “She’s arguing against herself…don’t like me when I’m like that. Like me when I’m normal.” — Brooke & Jeffrey [19:32–19:38]

So, hey, thanks for listening. And your second date starts right now. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

You know, if you search Brooke and Jeffrey on YouTube, you might get a case of mistake. Mistaken identity.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, don't even get me started with those stupid AI videos of us.

[Jeffrey]

There are so many weird copycats that use fake AI generated images of me and Brooke.

[Brooke]

If I look like I'm about to sell you a car, it's done by AI. Or a house.

[Jeffrey]

Is it bad, Brooke, when your AI doppelganger has Botox?

[Brooke]

Yes. Yes, it is. It is. And somehow lip filler like what is happening?

[Jeffrey]

At least AIU is doing good self care.

[Brooke]

I saw one where I was in a city sequin jacket for some unknown reason. That's more realistic.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, sequins is making a comeback. But what happens if you get a case of mistaken identity when you're on a first date? Oh, that's how today's caller, Noah landed himself here on our show this morning. Noah, how you doing, man?

[Noah]

I'm all right. How you guys doing?

[Brooke]

I feel like somebody went out with the wrong person on this date. Just the way Jeff set it up.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, your email said there was some kind of weird mix up that happened during your date. Why don't you run us through it?

[Noah]

All right, so I matched with this really cute girl online.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Noah]

She was just my type. She's got dark, curly hair, works out. You tell from her profile pics she's about 5 foot 4. It's like exactly my type.

[Jeffrey]

All right, that looks like one of Brooke's AI doppelgangers that I've seen before too, so I get it.

[Brooke]

Probably.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

Curly hair, the opposite of what you have.

[Brooke]

Whatever.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so you were attracted.

[Noah]

Yeah, attracted. And then we were messaging each other back and forth on the app. So we decided to meet up at this bar that's like right by where I work. And it's usually busy. There's a good vibe around there. So I get there early and I'm sitting there and I'm waiting and this woman comes up to me. She gives me a big hug. She says, hey, how are you? Yeah, she's like very warm and very comfortable. And so she sits down and we start having our conversation.

[Brooke]

Okay, wait, what's your name? This brown, curly haired goddess.

[Noah]

Okay, I'll get to that. Hang on. Okay, so meeting people on the apps, you go to the profile, you memorize some things that are on their profile so that you can bring it up and it's part of topics conversation. Right. So I know she's into yoga, she likes guys with great senses of humor, and she likes dark chocolate. And I'm bringing all of this stuff up and. Yeah, it's not registering. She said I'm getting all of these things wrong.

[Brooke]

Oh, what? Oh, she one of those that used AI to set up her profile?

[Noah]

No. No idea. No. So about 15 minutes into the conversation, we both realize that we met the wrong person. No, coincidentally, we both set up dates at the same restaurant at the same time. And I guess our dates, we both kind of look enough like each other to where we could mistake each other.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

So she thought she was meeting up with a different guy too?

[Noah]

Exactly. And this girl, the first girl I met with, her name was Chloe.

[Brooke]

Okay, so wait, the original. The original curly brown hair girl is Chloe?

[Noah]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The second the mistaken girl is named Chloe.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay. Okay, so now you're on a date with Chloe that was completely not planned Right, exactly.

[Noah]

So we were like, oh, shoot, we have our dates that we're supposed to meet, and they're probably here waiting for us.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God. What was your feeling about that? Were you laughing about it? Were you mortified?

[Noah]

Like, it was very funny, but it also kind of sucked too, because, like, I was having such a good time, and I realized that, like, this is not the person who I'm supposed to be here with, and you don't want

[Brooke]

to stand the other person up. And it kind of looks like you planned a date before your date. Now, if the next girl sees you. Oh, good boy, too.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's bad. So what's your move?

[Noah]

So we're both kind of just processing what's happening, and we both realize, oh, my God, we need to go looking for our date.

[Brooke]

What if you find a third one?

[Jeffrey]

Are you a girl who's into yoga and likes dark chocolate, too? Oh, my God, they're everywhere.

[Chloe]

I kind of hope they're on a date. Like, you find them together, you know, they found each other. Everybody looks alike. Like.

[Noah]

Well, the problem that her date. She ended up finding out that her date ditched her.

[Brooke]

God, isn't there. Isn't there part of you that wants to do that to the person you were supposed to meet since you're having such a good time with Chloe so

[Chloe]

you can stay on your date?

[Noah]

Well, that was the thing. I felt like the gentlemanly thing to do was to continue on with the date that I had set up and not ditch the first date.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's the right thing. Yeah, it's the right thing.

[Chloe]

I mean, a real gentleman would have said, hey, come join this date. It's now a triple date.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I can handle two at once.

[Chloe]

Yeah, come on.

[Brooke]

Girl would love that.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

Thank you.

[Noah]

I think you guys watch too many adult films.

[Jeffrey]

There's no such thing as too many.

[Chloe]

Thank you, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Go on.

[Noah]

So, okay, so I go back to Chloe. I give her a hug, and I tell her, like, I'm really sorry, but I asked her. I was like, how about you give me your phone number? Because we had such a good connection.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

All right.

[Noah]

She gave me her phone number, and then I went along on my original date. And that date went. It went okay. It was fine.

[Brooke]

Oh, but you were thinking about Chloe the whole time, weren't you?

[Noah]

Well, there just wasn't that same connection there. Yeah, and I don't know if that messed me up or whatever, but. Yeah, it just wasn't the same.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's cute. It was just natural and fun.

[Jeffrey]

With Chloe, but just asking as a question because I don't know, as a woman, would it seem douchey if a guy was like, hey, I'm going to go, leave to meet with another girl. But before that, can I get your number? That doesn't come off as like, this

[Brooke]

girl, get ready, get dressed up, leave her house and come. Like, I think it was a nice thing that he didn't say stand her

[Chloe]

up situation and she may actually go, oh, he still has respect for the other girl.

[Noah]

That's a nice.

[Brooke]

I mean, that's what dating is, right? Talking to, meeting and seeing who's out there. Have you talked to Chloe since?

[Noah]

Yeah, we have. I texted her a little bit, but she doesn't reply too much. Like, her responses are very short.

[Jeffrey]

I guess you really need our help then when we come back and we call Chloe the girl you weren't supposed to go out with but ended up

[Brooke]

connecting with anyway, who doesn't like chocolate or yoga. That's not her thing.

[Jeffrey]

Humor.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that was the other girl's thing.

[Jeffrey]

We'll make sure to bring none of that in the conversation when we do your second date update right after this.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

Let's recap real quick. Our listener Noah had a case of mistaken identity where he was scheduled to meet up with a dark chocolate, yoga loving woman with dark curly hair and instead found himself chatting with a dark, curly haired woman who doesn't like chocolate and is more into pilates.

[Brooke]

Oh, did she say that?

[Jeffrey]

Well, I don't know about that last part. I'm just assuming they're different. But it was all an accident. And they both realized 15 minutes in they were there with the wrong people.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So out of just pure respect, Noah decided he should go and find his original date and spend some time with her. But he promised to arrange a future hangout with no Chloe. Unfortunately, that has not materialized. And that's where he's hoping we can step in to help.

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Do you know what I was thinking? It may not be your fault at all.

[Jeffrey]

It's not my fault. I'm just. Just recapping.

[Brooke]

I'm talking about. What's his name?

[Chloe]

Noah.

[Brooke]

No, I'm talking about Noah. I don't think it's Noah's fault.

[Noah]

Thank you.

[Brooke]

Yeah, well, here's the thing. Like, her original date stood her up, remember?

[Chloe]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

So she left that night probably feeling pissed off and like you just kind of got wrapped up into it, right?

[Chloe]

Yeah. Like her memory of the night's bad.

[Noah]

Yeah, but that still doesn't explain why she won't hang out with me for another date, though.

[Chloe]

I could have been the last straw. I hate to be that guy, but, like, there is a straw. And she may just be done with dating now.

[Brooke]

Went home, deleted the app.

[Sponsor Voice 4]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Till next week.

[Jeffrey]

This was the last chance that she was given and it fell flat. So she has sworn off men forever.

[Noah]

Okay. I don't know.

[Brooke]

Optimism.

[Chloe]

We're hoping she's done. I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

Isn't it sad? That's what the world's come to. But here we are.

[Noah]

I mean, I'm. I'm hopeful too, but it's been like a few weeks and I. I don't know. I don't know what you guys can do.

[Chloe]

Well, we'll get answers at least.

[Brooke]

Let's see.

[Jeffrey]

And if it could be a little bit less hopeful because it puts a lot of pressure on me and I don't like that.

[Noah]

I can do that.

[Jeffrey]

Beautiful. Okay, I'm gonna dial the number. Here we go. Hopefully Chloe answers.

[Chloe (on phone)]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Chloe. This is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Chloe (on phone)]

Okay.

[Chloe]

Hi. Good morning.

[Brooke]

Probably a little shocked to hear a radio show calling you. It's not an everyday thing. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

How you doing?

[Chloe (on phone)]

I'm confused.

[Jeffrey]

Good. That's exactly how we want you to be.

[Brooke]

That was so creepy. Why are you on Today?

[Jeffrey]

Dark Chocolate. I get that you're confused. This is totally weird that a radio show's calling you, but we're doing a segment called a Second date Update.

[Noah]

Okay.

[Chloe (on phone)]

Why. Why are you calling me?

[Brooke]

I mean, I guess you didn't officially go out on a date with this guy, but.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it was. It was like kind of a half date, an accidental date with one of our listeners named Noah.

[Chloe (on phone)]

Okay. Yeah, I remember Noah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, that's good.

[Brooke]

Yeah, because he said it's been a couple weeks since you guys have talked, so.

[Chloe (on phone)]

I mean, that's not entirely true. Like, we've been texting.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he mentioned that you are texting, but it's been kind of sparse where you don't seem very interested in hanging out with him. That's the vibe that he's getting.

[Chloe (on phone)]

Well, I mean, I guess it just seemed like he maybe liked somebody else more.

[Brooke]

Are you talking about the original date he was supposed to be on?

[Chloe (on phone)]

Oh, he told you about that?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he filled us in on how there was kind of a mix up for both of you when you arrived at the. Was it a bar?

[Brooke]

I mean, what a funny coincidence. You two walk in, both looking for a first date. You've never met, and you end up sitting with each other on accident. Like, that's like early people experience you date.

[Chloe (on phone)]

It was kind of strange how that happened, but. Yeah. Just kind of felt like he was just a little more into the other date.

[Brooke]

How could you tell?

[Chloe (on phone)]

I promise I'm. I'm not crazy.

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Chloe]

Good start. Go. Let her cook.

[Brooke]

I'm not crazy, but where are we going?

[Jeffrey]

What's happening?

[Chloe (on phone)]

Okay, so first I just want to say, like, I fully supported him going on his original date. That was the right thing to do.

[Brooke]

Oh, so it didn't bother you that he didn't stand her up?

[Chloe (on phone)]

No, it didn't bother me at all.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Chloe (on phone)]

But after I said goodbye to him, I kind of maybe didn't leave the bar.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's just gonna be painful for you to watch. Why would you do that? Yeah. To yourself. You're not gonna see anything you like. Yeah.

[Chloe (on phone)]

So I was just like, when else am I gonna get another opportunity to, like, see if the way he was with me was the way he actually is or, like, if he was putting on a front or whatever? So it was a really busy bar. He didn't see me.

[Brooke]

Yeah, he definitely didn't see you. He definitely would have brought that up to us.

[Noah]

Totally.

[Jeffrey]

What did you see?

[Chloe (on phone)]

He was, like, smiling at her, and it seemed like they were connecting, like, just as well as he connected with me. And, like, after a while, he, like, put his hand on her leg and, like, after they left and maybe kind of follow them a little bit.

[Brooke]

No. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

She's already this far down. Might as well keep seeing her.

[Brooke]

You followed them down the street?

[Chloe (on phone)]

I mean, not, like, down the street. Like, they left. So I left, and I was able to, like, watch where they went. And they only went, like, half a block, and there was, like, a flower vendor there, and he bought her a flower, and he kissed her cheek.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, man.

[Chloe]

Why would you watch?

[Brooke]

You went straight PI Investigator.

[Jeffrey]

Are you sure you didn't misread that as a rejection flower? Like, this was a nice date. Here you go. Goodbye forever.

[Chloe (on phone)]

No, it was actually, like, really sweet, but it just felt like, you know, he was really, really liking her. And so when he texted me later, he was like, oh, I was thinking about you the whole time. And, like, that just felt disingenuous. It didn't look like he was thinking about anything other than that date that he was on.

[Brooke]

Can't look like, though, right? Like, maybe he was putting effort in and trying on the day, but that doesn't mean he wasn't thinking about you. He called us.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. He was probably imagining that she was you.

[Brooke]

That's weird, too.

[Chloe]

So that, in a way, he gave you a flower.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Chloe]

And he kissed you.

[Jeffrey]

That was a practice.

[Chloe (on phone)]

I don't like that. That's creepy.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I don't know. Forget that I say that. I'm just. I'm just trying to guess because, look, the whole reason that we're doing this,

[Brooke]

who's listening in on. Maybe they're equal now.

[Jeffrey]

Good point, bro. He's the one that wanted us to call you because he fel that strongly about your connection. And he's actually on the other line right now, secretly spying in on this conversation just like you did.

[Chloe (on phone)]

Yes.

[Brooke]

He can't get upset.

[Noah]

Hey.

[Chloe (on phone)]

So.

[Noah]

All right, I guess. Hi, Noah. What are you doing? Look, I was just trying to get in touch with you because I just wanted to know what happened. And, like, I'm. I'm really sorry to do this, but I do have to kind of come clean on the whole situation.

[Brooke]

What? Wait, what about what?

[Noah]

Well, all of those things that she described did happen, but, like, I didn't have a second date with her. I asked her out for a second date and she turned me down.

[Chloe]

Why would you. Wait, what?

[Brooke]

Again, bro?

[Noah]

What.

[Chloe]

And why would you admit.

[Brooke]

Why are you saying that right now?

[Jeffrey]

Was this your first?

[Brooke]

So the only reason you're calling Chloe is because the girl you were actually interested in rejected you?

[Chloe]

Yes. Brooke.

[Noah]

No, honestly, I would have been okay with either one of them, actually.

[Brooke]

Make a girl feel special, Noah.

[Chloe]

The other girls on the line too, listening to this.

[Jeffrey]

I've heard that in a romcom movie once, though. I think it worked.

[Brooke]

Are you there?

[Chloe (on phone)]

Yeah, I'm here.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. We were doubting that you were reading his date. Right.

[Chloe (on phone)]

I know what I'm talking about, dude.

[Chloe]

Sir, you be honest. If the other girl would have said yes to a date, would you even be on the phone with us right now hunting her down?

[Noah]

I.

[Chloe (on phone)]

Maybe.

[Noah]

I don't know. Try to speak hypothetically like that.

[Jeffrey]

You told us the entire time you were hanging out with the other girl, Chloe was the only person on your mind. That's what you told us.

[Brooke]

And her.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chloe (on phone)]

Disingenuous.

[Noah]

Oh, no, no, it wasn't disingenuous, because she had ditched me by that point. That's why. Wow.

[Chloe (on phone)]

Wow.

[Brooke]

Chloe, as a positive to you, he hasn't brought up you stalking him once as a red flag.

[Noah]

Yeah, actually, to tell you the truth, I thought that was kind of hot. Nobody's done that to me before.

[Chloe (on phone)]

That's so crazy. Why would you want somebody following you, you weirdo?

[Brooke]

She's arguing against herself.

[Chloe]

Yeah, she's like, look, I'm weird. What are you doing?

[Jeffrey]

Don't like me when I'm like that. Like me when I'm normal.

[Brooke]

I can't tell if you guys would actually be a really good match or a total nightmare together.

[Chloe]

They'd be a good match if none of this would have happened and you guys are just going off your personalities.

[Noah]

I agree. We would make a great match because I'm not with that girl anymore. She rejected.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you got. Leave it in the past. It's done. Stop bringing it up.

[Chloe]

Nobody wants me. Why don't you want to go out?

[Noah]

Well, I don't know how else I can make it clear that I'm not dating anybody else.

[Jeffrey]

All you have to do is focus on Chloe going forward. If she's even willing to give you a chance here.

[Chloe]

Come on, Chloe.

[Jeffrey]

And I'm going to go ahead and ask her whether it's a good idea or not. Because, Chloe, we would like to offer to send you out with Noah one more time. And we would pay for that date

[Noah]

if you're willing to be honest.

[Chloe (on phone)]

I did. I really did like him. But I'm nobody's second choice now. You're not.

[Noah]

You're not my second choice. You're my only choice.

[Brooke]

That was all sweet.

[Jeffrey]

I think it sounded more romantic in your head.

[Chloe (on phone)]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

I don't think any man in the history of this segment has ever made himself look less attractive to an entire gender than what we just witnessed there. We tried to take his shovel away, but he kept on digging the hole deeper and deeper for himself.

[Chloe]

Like literally could have called us back and go, hey, I just wanted to clarify that I was rejected.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I'm single. I'm single.

[Chloe]

Wants me.

[Jeffrey]

I know this is a hard concept for a lot of men to grasp, but sometimes the best thing you could say is nothing.

[Chloe]

Yeah, just shut up.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, take the phrase you're my only option out of your dating lexicon because it turns out nobody finds that romantic.

[Brooke]

No. No. And that actually doesn't matter about gender. Yeah, that applies to all. Just don't say it.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Well, except for one person. Well, us.

[Brooke]

Yeah, we're the only option.

[Jeffrey]

If we're your only option to help with your dating life.

[Noah]

We are flattered. Yes.
