Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Setting the Stage

• [02:55–03:55]
  The hosts tee up the episode, hinting that the call is about to get "spicy" and could provoke strong opinions among listeners, especially regarding the woman in question (Abby) and the controversial nickname she’s been given.
  • Brooke: “Today gets a little special… Spicy.” (02:58)

2. Abby’s First Date Recap

• [04:49–09:51]
  • Abby meets Carter on Bumble; both are self-professed foodies.
  • Carter chooses an upscale ramen spot, impressing Abby with both his restaurant pick and personal presentation.
    • Abby: “He’s got this big smile that just says, ‘I’m good looking but I don’t really know it…I’m just happy to see you.’” (06:51)
  • Their connection feels effortless—Carter is funny, well-dressed, and down-to-earth. Abby mentions a recent move but clarifies she isn’t relocating again, which the hosts initially suspect might be a red flag.
  • Notably, Carter demonstrates character when, noticing adjacent diners stiff their waiter on a tip, he jumps in to leave a tip for them:
    • Abby: “He takes money out of his wallet and puts it on the table next to ours.” (09:15)

3. A Ramen 'Rom-com'

• [09:53–10:20]
  • The hosts and Abby both describe the evening as ‘magical,’ even likening it to a “rom-com—” or, as Jeffrey jokes, a “ramen common.”
    • Jeffrey: “A ramen Common.” (10:01)

4. Red Flags and The Ghosting Mystery

• [10:41–11:36]
  • Hosts tease possible red flags: Jeffrey jokes that only suspicious characters carry cash for tips; all playfully consider whether Carter could be hiding something.
    • Jeffrey: “Who carries cash? ... Drug dealers, street magicians… conspiracy theorists…” (11:17)
  • Abby remains adamant: “I really didn’t get that vibe.” (11:45)

5. The Confrontation – Carter Joins the Call

• [12:14–13:32]
  • Carter appears terse and distracted (typing noisily), reluctantly pauses work to speak.
  • Reveals he cooled off after showing Abby’s photo to coworkers, who immediately identified her. One coworker—who “knows about her”—reports she’s been engaged four times and called her “the ring reaper.”
    • Carter: “Yeah, it seems that she’s been engaged, like, four times... and has broken them off each time. My friend called her ‘the ring reaper.’” (14:31, 15:01)

6. Exploding Secrets and the ‘Ring Reaper’ Reveal

• [16:03–18:05]
  • Abby is blindsided but admits it is true; she’s been engaged four times—but crucially, all to the same guy. She describes a turbulent “yo-yo” relationship, made toxic by her own infidelity spurred by fear of commitment.
    • Abby: “I was engaged four times to the same guy… [there] was some infidelity on my side of it.” (17:00, 17:25)
    • Abby: “All four times that I was engaged, I cheated, and it was because I was engaged… I wasn’t ready for commitment like that.” (17:45; 17:29)
  • Two of the break-ups even happened at the altar. Abby explains she has never cheated on a boyfriend or husband, only on a fiancé.
    • Abby: “I have never cheated on a boyfriend… or a husband. So just don’t propose, Carter, and you’re good.” (18:28)

7. The Aftermath: Carter’s Final Decision

• [18:45–19:47]
  • The hosts gently encourage Carter to consider a second date, emphasizing Abby’s honesty, but he humorously (and somewhat harshly) declines.
    • Carter: “Yeah, I think I’m gonna pass...I’d rather put my junk in a vice and hit it with a hammer right now.” (19:25, 19:42)
  • Abby expresses disappointment but stands by her decision to be honest.
    • Abby: “I thought that would be... the best approach, but apparently people don't like real life. That's what happened to me. That's my story. And it's true.” (20:08)

8. Host Reflections and Epilogue

• [22:30–23:28]
  • The hosts reflect on their low “success rate” lately, joke about how times have changed, and how more men have “developed standards,” much to Jeffrey’s mock disappointment.
    • Jeffrey: “You would think that a woman with a name like the Ring Reaper who’s a self-confessed serial cheater would get a yes… Times have changed and some dudes… have developed a sense of standards… I do not like where the world is headed.” (22:35, 22:55, 23:05)

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

We don't normally ever do this, but I feel like today we have to issue a pre story warning to our own Jose Bolanos.

[Jose]

Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

Because, well, the date that we're about to hear apparently involves one of Jose's all time favorite foods. Oh, my gosh. I can help. I know. See, I know. Jose, you're a foodie. You're going to be really excited and tempted to ask a million questions about the meal that this woman ate.

[Jose]

Tell us all the background of how they came up with the meal and who did it best and what country

[Jeffrey]

the origin is and what spoon is the best to eat it with. But let's try to remember to focus on the date itself. I mean, right now I'm thinking of all my favorite food. I know, I know.

[Jose]

From this side, just say he ordered chicken nuggets and we can move forward.

[Jeffrey]

It's not what it is. And it's our listener, Abby, who has requested our help today. So with that in mind, Abby, welcome to the show.

[Abby]

Hi, guys. Thank you.

[Jose]

I may dislike you depending on what you distracted Jose gets. And it. Don't take it personal. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yes. So before we even go down the food rabbit hole, let's just start at the top with the guy that you met. What's his name?

[Abby]

Yeah, so I met this guy named Carter.

[Jose]

Carter. Where did we find him?

[Abby]

I met him on Bumble, actually.

[Jose]

Okay. All right. What did you like about him?

[Abby]

So we bonded over a bunch of stuff, but my favorite thing about him is that he's a big foodie.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, see, people like it, Brooke.

[Jose]

I know, I know. I. I do like it when it's just you and I talking. Like, everybody else would find our conversation boring.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's true. I can be overbearing. Okay, so he enjoys food. That's rare.

[Abby]

Yeah, actually.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Abby]

It's not just food. It's good food. We're both, like, active people that really enjoy, like, eating good.

[Jose]

Dude, what a competition, though, because you have two foodies, so it's like one of you is probably constantly trying to impress the other.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Like, what's your favorite?

[Jose]

Yeah. Did you feel pressure to pick the perfect restaurant?

[Abby]

So he actually picked it, and it was. Oh, my God, it was so good. It was this, like, really nice, like, upscale ramen place.

[Jeffrey]

Ramen. Okay, Jose, calm down. Just relax. Yeah, Okay.

[Abby]

I love ramen. So I was very, very excited to go.

[Jose]

Okay. And did he know that already? I mean, that's thoughtful, right? He's a foodie. He's finding the spot that is a cuisine you like or a type of food you like.

[Abby]

Yeah, exactly. So I was really excited to go for both the food and for him because I was eager to meet him. So.

[Jeffrey]

Nice. So what was it like when you finally met up?

[Abby]

Oh, my God. So great. So I walk in and he just smiles this big smile. It's just like a. Like a nice, genuine smile that's like, hey, I'm good looking, but I don't really know it. I'm just happy to see you.

[Jeffrey]

You got all that from his smile?

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Jose]

How does he not know he's good looking?

[Jeffrey]

From his smile.

[Abby]

But, yeah, he was just really friendly. He's also really well dressed. Like, past couple dates I've been on, people are showing up in, like, T shirts and sweatpants and stuff. And I'm like, I actually, like, shaved my legs for this.

[Jeffrey]

He's got good clothes, a good smile. But what about, like, your connection? How was his personality?

[Abby]

I really liked his personality. So we got to talking and he actually was telling me about his job, which I still don't fully Understand? But he works in it.

[Jose]

Oh, yeah. You just kind of nod your head when anybody says it.

[Abby]

Right.

[Jeffrey]

Moving on. Next topic of conversation.

[Abby]

Yeah, Computers. Okay. And, like, he was telling me this story about, like, how when his mom asked what he did at his job, he kind of just told her that he, like, runs the Internet, which I thought was really funny and charming because he wasn't saying it's a brag or anything. I mean, it's just his mom, but, like, yeah, he's like, when those posts go viral, like, it's me that's deciding, like, when they go

[Jeffrey]

to the Internet.

[Jose]

Well, good, because we got some favors to ask him when we get him on the phone here in a second. We need some more viral content.

[Abby]

Yeah, he's Joe Internet, so I love it.

[Jeffrey]

So he's a guy who's really, really good with food. He's good with tech. He's handsome, but he doesn't even know it.

[Brooke]

Fashionable, too.

[Jose]

Was there any red flags on the date? Like, something that you did wrong or.

[Abby]

I feel like no. Like, I definitely remember talking to him about me moving. I just recently moved.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, but you're at your destination. You're not moving somewhere else.

[Abby]

Correct? Yeah.

[Jose]

I'm so impressed.

[Brooke]

We were all like, wait a second,

[Jeffrey]

that's gotta be it.

[Abby]

No, no, no.

[Jeffrey]

Well, that should be good, because then he can show you new places in the city.

[Abby]

That's what I figured. Like, that's kind of why I brought it up, too, because I did enjoy the restaurant so much. So we were just bonding over that and, like, how moving sucks and that kind of thing.

[Jeffrey]

Well, how did you two leave it at the end of the night?

[Abby]

Oh, so listen to this. So at the end of the night, there was a table next to us who was not very nice to the waiter. They were just, like, really high maintenance. And he was being so kind to our waiter, like, just asking where he's from. Just, like, being really bubbly and, like, joking with him and stuff. And the people next to us leave without leaving a tip.

[Jose]

No.

[Abby]

Yeah. So he takes money out of his wallet and puts it on the table next to ours.

[Jose]

What a nice guy, right?

[Jeffrey]

At least once in his life, this

[Jose]

guy is all green flag.

[Abby]

That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't. I don't understand. Understand at all. And on top of that, we left the restaurant. We're walking around the neighborhood because, like, I didn't really want to go home yet because I was having such a good time. He gave me a kiss. It was a Normal, like nice, sweet good night kiss. Left it at that. Said we'll be in touch. I was so elated that I was just like, nothing can go wrong here, dude.

[Jose]

And that's such a good feeling after the end of, like a perfect first date when you're just on this high. That feels so good.

[Abby]

Yeah, right? It was totally like a rom com.

[Jeffrey]

A ramen Common.

[Jose]

Hey, I almost like that.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, something's got to be up. If it went as well as she's saying it went, and there's no communication since, we got to help figure that out for her. So when we come back, we'll reach out to Carter and figure out what is wrong with this guy once and for all. There's got to be something.

[Jose]

Maybe the Internet went down and he's just been really busy fixing it.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, he's getting it back up and running. And we're going to find out what's going on with your second date. Update. Ramen Common edition.

[Jose]

Jeff likes.

[Jeffrey]

No, it kind of hurt me to say it. We'll work on it. We'll do it right after this. Hold on.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

Interesting situation happened on a first date recently between our listener Abby and the guy she was having dinner with. Carter.

[Jose]

What was interesting? I mean, it sounds like they had a great time.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he seemed to be showing green flags all night long. And even when he spotted another table nearby that left without putting down a tip, he pulled out cash from his own wallet and paid on behalf of those rude customers.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

That's what everybody said. Wow, what a guy. Amazing. Green flag. But I want to pose a question that Brooke always asks me.

[Jose]

What's that?

[Jeffrey]

Who on earth carries cash on their person anymore? I'll tell you who. Drug dealers, street magicians who put their top hat down for tips, and conspiracy theorists who don't trust banks or digital forms of currency. So there you go. That's three possible red flags for you right there, Abby.

[Jose]

I would say two and a half in that list.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Is it possible that Carter is a secret drug dealing, street magic, conspiracy theorist?

[Abby]

I mean, anything is possible, I guess, but I really didn't get that vibe.

[Brooke]

I don't know.

[Jose]

He did disappear and he does lie

[Jeffrey]

to his mom that he controls the Internet, so. No. Remember, he's green flags.

[Jose]

A druggie would say that.

[Jeffrey]

That's right. So I don't know. We'll find out what's really going on with him if he picks up phone, but I'm going to dial it right now. You Ready to do this, Abby?

[Abby]

I'm ready. Let's do it.

[Jeffrey]

All right, let's do it.

[Carter]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, hey. Is this Carter?

[Carter]

Yeah, this is Carter.

[Jose]

Oh, he's typing. Can you hear that?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah. Typewriter.

[Jose]

Are you at work?

[Brooke]

Is that a typewriter?

[Jose]

That can't be a typewriter.

[Carter]

Who am I speaking with?

[Jeffrey]

Sorry, this. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Hey. And we don't want to, like, derail your day, but we're really hoping to talk to you, if anything. We want to rail. Your day Who? A radio show? Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Jose]

We're also on the Internet. We're a podcast. We have a great YouTube channel.

[Jeffrey]

Has the Internet if he's on a typewriter.

[Jose]

Yeah, he is the Internet. Don't you remember?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's right.

[Jose]

He's it. Yeah.

[Carter]

How do you know. How do you know this about me, man?

[Jeffrey]

I mean, we heard about it from a girl that you went on a date with recently. A listener to our show and someone that really liked you. A girl named Abby.

[Carter]

Yeah, I don't know what to say.

[Jose]

Okay, could you just stop working for, like, literally three minutes right now?

[Jeffrey]

We won't take up too much of your time, but we're doing something called a second date update.

[Carter]

Let me save this first real quick. Hold on for a second. All right, go ahead.

[Jeffrey]

Now, we don't want to get in the way of your work, but we do want to get some answers for Abby about if there's a reason why after your date, you haven't really been talking to her very much.

[Carter]

I don't know if she wants me to share with you why.

[Jeffrey]

Actually, no, she does, which is why she reached out to our show, and she's willing to hear whatever the reason might be, even if it might make her look bad. She just wants to know.

[Carter]

So after the date, I was kind of on this. On this high, and I shared her picture with a few of my co workers after the date, you know, and some red flags came up.

[Jose]

What do you mean?

[Jeffrey]

Red flags that you didn't see on the date?

[Brooke]

You're trusting someone. It didn't work out with. With her, you know?

[Jose]

Wait, was it an ex? I thought it was just someone who knew her.

[Carter]

This person didn't date her. He just kind of knows about her.

[Jose]

Okay. Knows what about her?

[Jeffrey]

What information did you get?

[Carter]

Yeah, it seems that she's been engaged, like, four times.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Carter]

And has broken them off each time.

[Jose]

Okay, well, that. That can be good if it's not meant to be a marriage.

[Brooke]

I mean, better than getting married and then. Yeah, divorcing four times.

[Jeffrey]

What's a red flag to you about that?

[Carter]

Well, I mean, she's going through these relationships. What could possibly be wrong that she didn't continue? I mean, my friend called her the ring reaper.

[Jose]

That is so rude.

[Brooke]

I'm dying to know why she turned down the proposal.

[Jose]

Like, what happened? I want to know why she accepted in the first place. I mean, it's not her fault she's getting proposed to.

[Jeffrey]

Do you know the nature of any of these previous engagements and breakups that she's gone through before?

[Carter]

I have no idea.

[Jose]

Yeah, that's not fair. Like, I have a girlfriend who's gotten engaged a couple times, and, like. Like, two of the times the guy was cheating on her. Like, what would you want her to do with the marriage?

[Jeffrey]

But four times? I mean, that is a lot that really, to, like, get engaged and not go through it. Because maybe she has a bad picker, too, or she gets cold feet every

[Jose]

time she's really wanted. I've never been engaged to four times.

[Abby]

Yeah, a lot of guys want to marry her.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, there's a reason for that.

[Jose]

She must be a good package.

[Brooke]

Yeah, something.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, clearly something is going on. Aren't you curious to know what that is?

[Carter]

Carter, I have to protect myself from all this stuff.

[Jeffrey]

Let's risk it, because she's actually on the line right now waiting to talk.

[Carter]

Oh, my God. Please tell me you're joking.

[Brooke]

No, the ring reapers here, we don't

[Jeffrey]

do jokes on this show.

[Abby]

Hi, Carter. That name is insane. And I. I literally don't even know what to say. You're taking advice from people who know. People who know. People who call me by a name. Silly, like, juvenile name. They don't even know anything about me.

[Jose]

She's got some points.

[Carter]

Are you saying you haven't been engaged four times?

[Abby]

You know what? I have. But also, I wasn't going to bring that up on a first date, number one. And number two, if you really liked me that much, maybe you would have, like, confronted me about it rather than ghosting me.

[Jeffrey]

Listen, Abby, whether or not it's justified for Carter, it's a red flag that you've been engaged four times and broken off all four of them. And maybe if you could just, like, tell us more about it, it would help him get some clarity.

[Abby]

Whatever. I. I didn't really want to disclose this, but. On the radio. But okay, so I was engaged four times to the same guy. Oh,

[Jeffrey]

Everybody owing like that.

[Jose]

Just because she's just. She's in one of those toxic yo yo relationships. No, everybody's been in one of those.

[Carter]

Okay, okay, I'm listening. So why didn't you guys go through with the commitment then?

[Abby]

It was a very long term relationship. I was not in a place to be engaged. And there was some infidelity on my side of it.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wait, wait. You cheated?

[Abby]

Yeah. And to be honest with you, it's just because I was scared to be engaged. I was too young. I wasn't ready for commitment like that.

[Jeffrey]

But then you kept getting re engaged.

[Jose]

Why did he proposing? You guys, this sounds like it was a really toxic situation.

[Abby]

And just, you know, all four times that I was engaged, I cheated and it was because I was engaged.

[Jose]

Why are you reiterating this

[Jeffrey]

out there?

[Abby]

I'm just trying to be honest with everyone here. And to go even further, two of them happened at the altar and I'm not proud of it.

[Jeffrey]

You cheated on the altar? Aro you stopped wedding a priest is.

[Jose]

I think she made out with the official.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God, no.

[Abby]

I just broke it up while I was up there, that's all.

[Jose]

Whoever your maid of honor is must have had such a headache made of dishonor. Girl, that is all right. That is messy.

[Abby]

Yeah, it is messy. And you know what? I've been unfaithful to fiance's Carter, but I guarantee you, I have never cheated on a boyfriend.

[Jose]

Oh, there we go. So. Or a husband. Or a husband. So just don't propose, Carter. And you're good.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

We're not asking you to get engaged or to get married or anything. We're just asking if you want to go on one more date with Abby. Dude, do a foodie date again. Forget about all this. And if you are, we would pay for it.

[Abby]

Carter, I just really liked you. I thought we really hit it off. I have never felt this confident in a first date before. I think it would be stupid not to try it again. I. And I promise you it will not be a cheating situation if you don't propose to me tomorrow.

[Jose]

Come on. I don't know if you're gonna find a more honest person at this point.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, gosh. What do you think, Carter? We're running short on time. What is his friends gonna say if he says yes?

[Carter]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna pass.

[Jose]

Jose, you ruined it. You peer pressured him. He's trying to make a comment. I don't know if you heard me.

[Carter]

Carter.

[Jeffrey]

You just rejected the ring Reaper. How could you?

[Jose]

Which is not a very fitting name. It was the same ring, I think, over and over again.

[Jeffrey]

It' the ring re reaper.

[Carter]

Then I think I'm gonna put my junk in a vice and hit it with a hammer right now.

[Jose]

Oh, that is a wild thing to say.

[Carter]

Yeah, I'd rather do that than go back out with her.

[Jose]

Okay, well, Abby, you found out that he's into some things that maybe you

[Abby]

want to be into.

[Brooke]

Finally, the red flag for him.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, Abby, I'm sorry that that didn't work out, but we appreciate you being honest, like, extremely honest with everyone. Too honest if we've ever had a guest.

[Abby]

Yeah, I thought that would be, I don't know, the best approach, but apparently people don't like real life. I mean, that's what happened to me. That's my story. And it's true.

[Jose]

Well, yep.

[Jeffrey]

There's always a chance that you can get engaged to him a fifth time, so.

[Carter]

Oh, there's enough firefighters around. Just get engaged. One of them.

[Jeffrey]

are not getting a lot of yeses lately. Have you guys noticed?

[Jose]

No. We're trying.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. I mean, there it is. And you would think that a woman with a name like the Ring Reaper who's a self confessed serial cheater would get a yes. I mean, on this show, she just

[Jose]

cheated on the one guy.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Over and over serially. But yeah, apparently engaged him over and over.

[Jose]

I don't know that he wasn't cheating too. I mean, that just sounded like a hot mess.

[Jeffrey]

Times have changed and some dudes out there have developed a sense of standards and I don't like it. Not true. I do not like where the world is headed right now. This is my plea to all men and go back to being superficial and clueless. That was our sweet spot. Let people cheat on you. We were good at it.

[Jose]

I was glad that he gave us like five minutes of him not typing.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's true.

[Jeffrey]

That was a big sacrifice for him to do. But you know what? We're going to keep trying. For all the daters out there, our job is to defend the listener regardless of how bad it makes us look.
