Episode Overview

In this lively episode, Brooke, Jeffrey, and their co-hosts tackle a Second Date Update featuring Enrique, a self-proclaimed high-value dater who never asks women questions—believing that any inquisitiveness signals low status. His latest date, Kinsley, hasn’t called him back, so the team steps in to uncover what went wrong. The episode is rich with sharp banter, revealing attitudes, and awkward moments as Enrique’s dating philosophy is put under the microscope.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Enrique’s “No Questions Ever” Dating Strategy

• (05:08) Enrique explains his key rule: “Rule number one, I never ask a woman any questions ever. Especially on, like, on dating apps. So many pathetic guys, man...questions like, how's your day? What are you doing?”
• Reasoning: He believes that asking questions makes a man appear low value (“psychologically, an attractive woman reads questions, and I think it's like, that man has low value.” – 05:42).
• In Person: The strategy carries over; Enrique says he just “go[es] full narcissist, man" and talks only about himself (06:38).

2. The Hosts' Skepticism and Banter

• Brooke & Crew Challenge: Brooke and the team mock Enrique’s approach, with sarcasm and playful criticism.
  • Brooke: “I just can't imagine how hard it is to be a man.” (03:59)
  • “Oftentimes behavior like this is just masking insecurity. And so I am sure that you are a lovely person who maybe just needs a good hug.” (08:54)
• Comic Tension: Sarcastic agreement from the hosts and frequent jokes at Enrique's expense highlight how out-of-step his approach seems.

3. The Froyo Date – What Happened?

• Summary: Enrique set up a quick Froyo (frozen yogurt) date, then swiftly transitioned to another date afterward.
  • “We had our froyo, we went on a walk, and less than half an hour, we were making out...didn’t last too long because I had another date lined up, like two hours later.” (07:38)
• No Contact Policy: He hasn't texted or called—waiting for Kinsley to reach out, per his philosophy.
  • “I mean, I don't do the texting thing. That's what a little low value guys do.” (08:20)

4. Kinsley's Perspective and the Real Reason for Ghosting

• Kinsley is Contacted: Kinsley comes across cheerful and sweet when reached. She says Enrique seems “like a really busy guy, you know, so we couldn't spend a lot of time together, but, you know, very confident, and I really like that.” (13:53)
• Unexpected Twist – Paying for the Date:
  • Kinsley paid for both their Froyo (14:44). “It was expensive because I had to pay for both of us and I wasn’t really expecting that.”
• Next Date Proposal—At Her Expense:
  • Enrique told her their next date should be at an upscale steakhouse (Ruth’s Chris) and that Kinsley should pay for it (15:11–15:29).
  • “Yes. He said next time we meet that I would cover it and it would be at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.” (15:29)
• Her Reason for Not Reaching Out:
  • “I only work a part time job, so I can't really afford that right now. I have to save up for it.” (15:24)

5. Reaction and Resolution

• The Hosts’ Outrage: The crew is incredulous that Enrique expected her to pay for both dates, especially given it was his idea (17:10).
• Kinsley's Defense: Despite their concerns, Kinsley accepts Enrique’s approach, showing willingness to save up for another date.
  • "That's why I'm saving, though, so I can afford it later." (17:50)
• Hilarious Comeback: When the show offers to pay for the steakhouse date, Enrique immediately agrees—if Brooke pays specifically! (18:52)
  • “Brooke is paying for the date. Then I say yes.” (18:52)
  • Brooke’s exasperated retort: “Oh, hell no, I won’t.” (19:01)
• Ending in Chaos: The segment closes with playful threats, more sarcasm, and a tongue-in-cheek “total success” for the Second Date Update.

6. Listener Reactions and Ethical Debate (Post-Segment Discussion)

• (21:22–22:13): The show addresses live texter feedback, with listeners questioning why Brooke or the crew didn’t more aggressively stand up for Kinsley.
• Brooke’s Defense: “Some people don’t want to be stood up for.” (21:32)
• Ethical Reflection: Hosts discuss letting people make their own relationship choices, even if they disagree.

Tone and Style

The episode is filled with sarcasm, blunt honesty, and playful banter. The hosts balance mockery with attempts to let the participants make their own choices, often underscoring the absurdity of Enrique’s approach with humor and exasperation. Kinsley’s earnestness and positivity provide contrast to both Enrique’s bravado and the hosts’ skepticism.

---

Conclusion

This episode showcases a real-time test (and roast) of a controversial “alpha” dating tactic. While Enrique stands by his "no questions, no low value" policy, Kinsley's reluctance is rooted not in lack of interest, but in finances—she simply can't pay for the expensive date he wants. The hosts amplify the inherent comedy and awkwardness, leaving listeners with more questions than Enrique ever dared to ask.

[Brooke]

Oh, man, I just. I had a hard time today. You're going to hear why in the brand new episode of our second date podcast. It's not. Thank you so much for being here at the official podcast center of the world. It's Brooke and Jeffrey's second day podcast. Yeah. That's all I'm gonna say about it.

[Jeffrey]

It's a wild one today. It's a little just like rage bait. This man. Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of comments probably for and against him, to be honest.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's true.

[Brooke]

Yeah. So what do we got in our comment section today?

[Jeffrey]

Before him, we have Banana said is our name. Every morning I listen to your podcast on my way to Costco. I have another day of working today. Thanks for being here and getting me through the day. As I hear whether or not what box is right, question marks?

[Brooke]

Oh, I don't know. All right, way to go, Costco. Love Costco. All right, here we go in bulk. Your second date update starts right now. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

You know, Brooke was just commiserating with me the other day about how hard it is for men on the dating apps. Oh, man, she just feels terrible, but

[Brooke]

I just can't imagine how hard it is to be a man.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yeah, she was saying it's not fair that men are treated so unfairly. Struggling now more than any other time in history.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I mean, they've just had such a rough go throughout the centuries.

[Kinsley]

Wow.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

I'm, like, reliving the conversation all over again. And because that's kind of a widely known fact that men are struggling on the apps right now. All these different new strategies are emerging from dudes about how to deal with it, how to beat it, and win the dating game. Just like our listener today, Enrique, who says he has a very specific strategy that's been working like no other time in his life.

[Brooke]

And I am sure if he is on our show, that means he is winning.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

I agree.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Enrique, welcome to the show.

[Jeffrey]

Hey.

[Enrique]

Hey, thanks for having me, guys.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I feel like I really picked up just sarcasm today. Like, I took it on, you know?

[Ryan Seacrest]

You're glowing.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

It's amazing.

[Jeffrey]

Is his strat working on Brooke right now?

[Enrique]

It is.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

She's blushing a little bit. Enrique, so you mentioned in your email that you have a particular dating strategy that you claim works really well and you're willing to share it.

[Enrique]

Totally, man. So rule number one, I never ask a woman any questions ever. Especially on, like, on dating apps. So many pathetic guys, man. You know, like, questions like, how's your day? What are you doing?

[Jeffrey]

How's your day?

[Brooke]

Is why. Why is that pathetic to care about how someone's doing?

[Jeffrey]

Well, how do you keep the combo going? You just don't.

[Kinsley]

Yeah, okay.

[Jeffrey]

It's not.

[Brooke]

It's not the best question in the world, but I don't think that asking questions is a bad thing. That means that you're interested. You're trying to learn about the question.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Enrique, tell Brooke why she's wrong. Go ahead.

[Enrique]

All right. All right. So I'm going to teach you guys a little lesson over here for free. Okay?

[Brooke]

Okay.

[HomeServe Advertiser]

Okay.

[Enrique]

So psychologically, an attractive woman reads questions, and I think it's like, that man has low value.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

If you ask a woman a question, she thinks you're low value.

[Enrique]

Well, questions like that, very generic, you know? So this happened to a girl that I asked out the other day. You know, it's like, I'm going to some froyo, eight o' clock tonight. Meet me there. I gave her the location, and she did.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Oh, you just tell her what to do.

[Brooke]

I actually don't think that piece is a bad strategy, because sometimes the back and forth about what we want to do, where we're gonna go, does get. Well, it gets exhausting.

[Jeffrey]

Decisiveness is nice, for sure.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Well, he didn't ask you what you thought about his strategy, Brooks.

[Brooke]

So guess what? I'm gonna give my opinion anyway.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Jeff, you and Imanrike might get along.

[Kinsley]

Yes.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

But is this the girl that we're going to be calling?

[Enrique]

Yes, indeed.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

What's her name?

[Enrique]

Her name is Kinsley.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Does your philosophy about no questions change once you're in person, face to face with her?

[Enrique]

Well, when I'm with the person in person. Right. I go full narcissist, man.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, women love that.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

What do you mean you go full narcissist?

[Enrique]

I just talked about myself again. This is the whole thing. If you present yourself as the best option, she will pursue you.

[Brooke]

So you're like, the best froyo flavor in the. In the case.

[Enrique]

Yeah. You know what I'm talking about.

[Bowen Yang]

What do you.

[Brooke]

What do you think makes you the best option? Like, what do you brag about when you're with Kinsley?

[Enrique]

And like I said again, you know, I don't ask her any questions. I just make it about me. Me and me. That's it.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Okay.

[Enrique]

Basically, that's the whole line. I don't send pump to nobody.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Okay? And by your strategy, she thinks you're so great. From that conversation, she's going to want

[Enrique]

to pursue you and never fail, buddy.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Except for right now, because you've reached out to us.

[Enrique]

Well, Kinsley is the first one. That's why I'm reaching out to you.

[Brooke]

Can I ask, how long is this froyo date with Kinsley? Like, how much of it does she have to.

[Jeffrey]

How long did she have to suffer?

[Enrique]

Yeah, I mean, look, put it this way. We had our froyo, we went on a walk, and less than half an hour, we were making out. Oh, wow. And it didn't last too long because I had another day lined up, like two hours later.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my gosh.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yeah.

[Kinsley]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

How would you even do that?

[Brooke]

Okay, so you had back to back dates on the same night. Could she have possibly found out about the other date?

[Enrique]

I don't think she found out because I didn't tell her anything. And again, it was just a date.

[Jeffrey]

I thought he was like, oh, I told her about it because, of course. Yeah, about me. Yeah, you loved it.

[Brooke]

It would fit the philosophy.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

It's nice you leave a little mystery for Kinsley to find out about you later. I think that's. I think that's pretty cool. So have you. Since that date with Kinsley, have you texted her?

[Enrique]

I mean, I don't do the texting thing. That's what a little low value guys do.

[Brooke]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, whoa. If you haven't texted her or called her or anything, how do you know she doesn't want to go out with you again?

[Enrique]

That's why I'm calling you guys. I mean, you guys get paid to help us out, don't you?

[Brooke]

Not by you.

[Enrique]

You know, so if you don't have me, you don't have a job.

[Brooke]

Oh, so we should be grateful towards you.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, thank you so much, Enrique. I just want to thank you.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yeah, yeah, you're very welcome.

[Enrique]

I just to make sure everybody has a job at the end of the day.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Be nice.

[Jeffrey]

He's paying all of our bills.

[Brooke]

You know, I will say, often times behavior like this is just masking insecurity. And so I am sure that you are a lovely person who maybe just needs a good hug.

[Enrique]

Brooke. Brooke, I just gotta remind you, you're married. You can't do nothing with me. I respect married women.

[Brooke]

Okay, may be shocking, but that is not a concern of mine right now.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Okay, but just real quick. It's been how many days since you haven't texted Kinsley?

[Enrique]

Our day was three days ago.

[Brooke]

Three days ago.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Three days ago.

[Brooke]

And she hasn't reached out to you? You're in the stalemate, right?

[Enrique]

You know, usually they reach out like in between four, maybe five hours, but this is a little strange. So again, that's why I'm calling you guys. If not, I won't be bothering calling anybody, okay? Because I never have to.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yeah, okay.

[Jeffrey]

Well, once in a lifetime.

[Brooke]

He does have another radio show booked two hours later. Ye.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

But even still, it is a privilege that we get to do this on your behalf. Thank you so much for giving us the honor of calling Kinsley and asking her all the questions that you're not

[Brooke]

willing to and teaching us such life lessons.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Thank you, Enrique.

[Enrique]

You're very welcome.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

We're going to continue this journey together when we demonstrate what a high value man you are with your second date update right after this. Hold on, man.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

We're on the phone with a very unique, self confident individual named Enrique who's adopted a dating strategy that involves one main rule.

[Brooke]

Yep.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Never ask a woman any questions. Ever.

[Brooke]

Yep.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Because that demonstrates low value as a man.

[Brooke]

Wait, I don't know if there's a rule or not, but you also can't text her after the date to find out if you can go out again either.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, hard to get, because that's a

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

question kind of implied in there. Except for one recent date with a woman named Kinsley where they went to Froyo and made out passionately. But it has been three days. She has not texted him since. And also he hasn't texted her either because again, it would demonstrate low value.

[Jeffrey]

But calling a radio station not low value, That's Babe.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

And since he can't ask the question, why aren't you calling me for another date? Because remember, he doesn't ask questions. He's getting us to ask it for him.

[Brooke]

Yeah, and we're grateful for that. Remember, that's how we.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Also, Brooke, could not be more thrilled that we are doing this on your behalf and reach. So thank you so much.

[Enrique]

No, you're very, very welcome.

[Brooke]

Okay, I Did not say that.

[Jeffrey]

Instead of asking her questions, why don't you just tell her, like, call me back?

[Brooke]

Yeah, but then he's the one reaching out first. Sorry. Pathetic.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yeah, actually, talk about desperate.

[Enrique]

Brooke, I'm glad you're learning.

[Brooke]

Yeah, he knows the game. I gotta tell you, your play is not that complicated.

[Jeffrey]

Don't insult them.

[Brooke]

I think that he took that as a compliment, actually.

[Jeffrey]

So the ladies understand it.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

That's right. Simple and eas.

[HomeServe Advertiser]

Breezy.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Breezy. Works every time.

[Brooke]

I'm just gonna be kind of quiet on this one, all right?

[Enrique]

Be defensive. No problem.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Okay, before we actually call her.

[Brooke]

Yeah?

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Let's just, like, remind everyone not to blow Enrique's cover, because I'm sure he's saying all this stuff to us. It probably didn't come out on his date to Kinsley.

[Brooke]

He didn't say, I can't ask you any questions because it's against my moral dating code.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yeah, let's keep that between us.

[Jeffrey]

See if she just noticed.

[Brooke]

I actually would love to not repeat it ever again. So that's. We're on the same page.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Perfect. Yeah, we are ready to go. Let's dial right now.

[Kinsley]

Hello?

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Hey, is this Kinsley?

[Kinsley]

Yes. Is this Kinsley?

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

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

[Enrique]

And.

[Kinsley]

Okay.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Hi.

[Jeffrey]

Good morning.

[Kinsley]

Hi. Why are you calling me?

[Brooke]

You said so. Like, her energy, so happy.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yeah, you sound very positive. We're calling because we do a segment on this show called the Second Date Update.

[Kinsley]

Okay.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

I don't know if you're familiar with that, but basically it's where we can help out listeners who've been out on a date with somebody recently, but they're not getting a chance to meet up a second time. We can try and reach out and figure out if there's a reason for it.

[Kinsley]

That's so sweet.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yeah, thank you for saying that. I do think it's kind of sweet we do kind of God's work over here.

[Kinsley]

God is not involved in this.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Well, bottom line is a guy named Enrique has asked us to reach out to you.

[Kinsley]

Enrique?

[Brooke]

Okay. Wait, you're excited?

[Kinsley]

What did he say? What did he say about me?

[Brooke]

Did you always know when someone goes up at the end of every question, then they're excited?

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

He told us about your date to the froyo shop and said it went really well.

[Brooke]

Oh, wait, you guys did have a really good makeout session.

[Kinsley]

He did tell us that it was really good.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's great.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Though he did mention to us that the Date was kind of brief, so he wanted to spend more time with you but couldn't.

[Brooke]

I would love to hear what you have to say about Enrique and the date.

[Kinsley]

Oh, he seems really nice, like a really busy guy, you know, so we couldn't spend a lot of time together, but, you know, very confident, and I really like that. Okay.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Okay. So the reason that we're doing this call is because Enrique was under the impression that you would have reached out to him and tried to organize another meetup. And you don't seem to be doing that.

[Kinsley]

Oh, yeah, I can't do that because the date was kind of expensive.

[Brooke]

The froyo date. Fro yo. I'm with you. Like you get those toppings on there and then you put it on the way station and you're like, whoa, how did we just spend over $10 on a cup of frozen yogurt?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but you didn't put a filet mignon on your ice cream.

[Brooke]

I'm gonna tell you, if you get those strawberries, it's lichen.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Why are you saying it's a good expensive?

[Kinsley]

Well, it was expensive because I had to pay for both of us and I wasn't really expecting that.

[Jeffrey]

Had.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Wait, you didn't.

[Jeffrey]

You offered to pay, right?

[Kinsley]

I don't really remember how it went, but I did end up paying, but I didn't mind.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay, fine. If you offered and he took you up on it and you're okay with it, so why aren't you calling him? What does that have to. I don't get the expensive part of the date?

[Kinsley]

Well, it's just that he said that next time he really wanted to go to Ruth's. Chris and I only work a part time job, so I can't really afford that right now. I have to save up for it.

[Brooke]

Are you sure you would be the one that paid for a date? That was his idea.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yeah.

[Kinsley]

Yes. He said next time we meet that I would cover it and it would be at Ruth's Chris State house.

[Jeffrey]

He said you would cover it and you.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Okay, so you said it. So you're open to that total concept. It's just you don't have the money right now to afford the next date with Enrique. Date?

[Kinsley]

Yes. So I didn't want to call him until I was ready. Oh, no.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Okay, I see what's happening.

[Brooke]

Jeff.

[Sean Duffy]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Fix it.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Fix what? I mean, it's all pretty much fixed. She just doesn't have enough money. And I'm sure he would be understanding if he had just known that up front. Because I need to tell you, Kinsley, Enrique's on the other line of this phone call, listening, waiting to talk to you.

[Kinsley]

He is?

[Brooke]

Yeah, and he better be embarrassed.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Enrique. Hola.

[Enrique]

Quez como estas?

[Kinsley]

Enrique. Oh, my God, Enrique, I'm so sorry I haven't called or texted you.

[Brooke]

You're apologizing?

[Kinsley]

You know, since I paid for the date and I left that tip. You know, I was gonna tip regular, and then you said they had really, really good service, so I tipped extra. Well, I just really wasn't budgeting for that size waiting.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Wait, did you just say that he asked you to tip more on top of the tip you already paid?

[Kinsley]

Yeah. Cause he said they had really, really good service for us at the self service.

[Brooke]

What?

[Enrique]

Well, you know, we need to take care of the employees who take care of this country.

[Kinsley]

What?

[Brooke]

There's no we in that. She paid for it. That's not a we situation.

[Enrique]

Yeah, but we were together.

[Kinsley]

No, no.

[Brooke]

Enrique, why aren't you going to pay for Ruth? Chris, if it's your idea and it's where you want to go, then it's just kind of an unwritten rule in dating. Then you're the one that pays for it.

[Enrique]

Yeah, Says who?

[Brooke]

No, it's just like. It's like common courtesy, you know?

[Kinsley]

Hey, guys. You guys are giving him a really hard time. He has a different opinion and he sees it a different way.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Okay, all right.

[Brooke]

Her voice got so high at the end that I wasn't actually clear exactly what she.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Well, she doesn't appreciate you coming after her, man. Like, yeah, she's got to stand up for her guy.

[Brooke]

Here's the thing, Kinsley. You don't want to be with someone who's going to make you go broke just to go on a date with them.

[Kinsley]

You know what? That's why I'm saving, though, so I can afford it later.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God, yes, you could pay for the date. Money behind it.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

I'm just happy we were able to open up a channel of communication between these two and finally sort out what was the problem.

[Brooke]

Jeff, just ask him about the date. Let's get through this.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

At the risk of sounding low value as a man, I'm going to ask a question.

[Enrique]

One second. Can I just say one thing, though?

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

You said you said a lot of things.

[Kinsley]

All you do is say things.

[Enrique]

Wait, it's not to you guys, it's too. Kinsley.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Okay, go for it. Hurry up.

[Jeffrey]

Another statement.

[Enrique]

Kinsley, I love your lips.

[Bowen Yang]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

All right, well, this is perfect. So at this point, we'd officially like to ask. I mean, normally I'd ask Kinsley, but I know where her head's at, so I'll ask Enrique. Would you go out on a date with Kinsley to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse? Kinsley will pay for it.

[Brooke]

We will pay for it. Jeff, don't you dare. Don't you dare. We are paying for it.

[Enrique]

Wait one second. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait one second. Hold on, hold on. I'm the one who has to agree, right?

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yes.

[Brooke]

We're paying for it. I don't care what Jeff says.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

We'll pay for it. No, no, no, no.

[Enrique]

Brooke is paying for the date. Then I say yes.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Okay, Brooke, out of her own personal wallet will pay for.

[Jeffrey]

And Brooke wants the good stage.

[Brooke]

Oh, hell no, I won't.

[Kinsley]

Come on.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, Kinsley won't stay.

[Kinsley]

Thank you, Brooke. Brooke, so much. This will go really long way because I'm only working part time right now, but I really appreciate you helping us out.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke is so nice. That's what I love about her.

[Brooke]

Hensley, email me separately.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

We've broken Brooke officially.

[Brooke]

We need to have a talk.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Second date update. Total success.

[Enrique]

Wow, Jeff. Did you guys learn something today?

[Jeffrey]

Did we learn the guys?

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

That sounded like a question to me, bro. Are you changing your game on me?

[Enrique]

No, no, no. I'm just saying, did you guys learn? Look who's paying for the data at the end of the day. Brooke,

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

you are the master. Thank you, Enrique.

[Brooke]

After I email Kinsley, there's not going to be another date.

[Enrique]

That's what you think.

[Kinsley]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

in 78592 says, why wouldn't Brooke stand up for that lady more? Another says, not cool. Brooke just lost respect for you. I like when the little.

[Brooke]

Listen, here's the thing. Some people don't want to be stood up for.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yeah. And you know what? I'm going to come to Brooke's defense here. I think Brooke tried, and maybe she just wasn't as articulate as she is most of the time in these types of situations. But please, if you want to blame anybody for what just happened, put it on me.

[Brooke]

Oh, I thought you were going to put it on Kinsley again.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

No. Yeah, it was my fault for listening to what Kinsley said. She wanted it.

[Jeffrey]

I think it's your fault for choosing this guy's email.

[Brooke]

That was producer boy.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yeah, that's not my choice. But we try to live by a rule on this show that we don't force our will onto the listeners.

[Brooke]

I don't live by that rule.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Well, what we want isn't necessarily what the listeners want, but it might be

[Brooke]

what's best for them. Jeff.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

It might be, but if they want to choose their own path in life, that's their choice to do it.

[Jeffrey]

Sometimes we want drama.

[Brooke]

Don't come crying to us, okay?

You stopped asking questions.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So you can't even ask people.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

I'm not gonna ask you. Just do it.

[Brooke]

Stop talking.

[Host 2 (possibly Jeffrey or Brooke's co-host)]

You got it.
