Main Theme & Purpose

This episode of "Second Date Update" follows the journey of Melanie, who reached out to the show after being ghosted by Scott following their seemingly pleasant first date.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Melanie’s Recent Dating Misadventures

• Melanie shares a quick anecdote about a previous bad date:
  • The guy arrived late, shook her hand awkwardly, claimed he forgot his ID, left, and never came back (04:09–05:22).
• Hosts offer reassurance:
  • Brooke: “Girl, that’s not anything to do with you…You deserve someone better than that.” (05:22–05:44)

2. Meeting Scott & The Infamous Walk

• After taking a break from dating apps, Melanie agrees to go on a walk with Scott, finding the no-pressure scenario refreshing (06:03–06:15).
• Scott brings Melanie a single flower; the pair bond over travel and hobbies, walking around the city (06:21–06:52).

3. The ‘Special Friend’: An Unexpected Connection

• Melanie realizes she knows one of Scott’s roommates, Max, from years prior; their relationship was more than platonic (“special friends”) (07:00–07:19).
• Melanie suspects her connection with Max—or her curiosity about him—may have unnerved Scott (07:26–07:40).

4. Clarity (or Lack Thereof) About the Past

• The hosts press Melanie for clarity: Was Max an ex or just a “special friend”? Melanie is vague but calls it a “special friend misunderstanding” (07:57–08:01, 17:11).
• Jeffrey (jokingly): “You really have a talent for skirting around what’s actually happening.” (17:47)

5. The Forward Invitation

• At the end of the date, Melanie invites Scott back to his place “to have some fun”; hosts debate the meaning of this offer, with much innuendo and laughter (08:11–09:00).
• Jeffrey: “Brooke has a very, very dirty mind on this show.” (09:00)

6. Radio Silence & Melanie's Concern

• After the date, Scott goes quiet; Melanie nervously texts to ask if he’s okay but gets no response (09:30–09:41).

---

The Call to Scott: Truth Comes Out

7. Scott’s Extreme Reaction

• Scott is caught off guard by the call; initially thinks it’s a prank due to how “crazy” Melanie’s involvement now seems (13:03–13:12, 13:44).
• When pressed, Scott reveals he told his roommate (Max) about the date. Max’s reaction is immediate and intense:
  • “Without saying anything or doing anything else, he just takes his phone out... and he dials 911.” (14:34–14:45)
  • The police actually come to their house due to suspicion (15:00)!
  • Max thinks Melanie followed Scott home and is possibly stalking him; there are mysterious “footprints in the backyard.” (15:00–15:13)

8. Unraveling the 'Special Friend' Drama

• Melanie chimes in, remaining oddly upbeat:
  • “Hi, Scott. I miss you.” (16:28)
  • She insists Max is dramatic, but Scott counters: “Max is super chill. He’s the chilliest guy I know.” (17:00)
• Melanie laughs off the police incident as a “special friend misunderstanding” and still asks about forgiveness from Max. She dodges direct questions about her behavior and relationship with Max (17:11–17:35).

9. Concrete Boundaries Set

• Scott is clear: “We would like you to never contact us again… Don’t ever call the radio, the news, don’t contact us again.” (18:08–18:18)
• Melanie remains unfazed, cheerily offering: “If you change your mind, you know where to find me and we can have a lot of fun together.” (19:01–19:09)
• The hosts echo the warning: “Melanie, don’t call us for another date. Second date either.” (19:35–19:36)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Melanie’s confidence:
  • Melanie: “Excited. Like, really excited.” (11:50)
  • Brooke: “Maybe we should tone that back a little bit…” (11:52)
• Scott describing Max’s panic:
  • “Let me see. I show him her picture, and he just… takes his phone out… dials 911.” (14:34–14:45)
• Melanie’s unfazed response:
  • “Listen, you know how Max is. He can be a little bit of a drama king… The fact that he thought I followed you home, that’s really funny.” (16:46–17:07)
• Scott’s direct message:
  • “Stop calling him a special friend. You kept saying that on our date, and it’s… It’s weird. You’re weird.” (17:22–17:30)
• Hosts’ disbelief:
  • Brooke: “Melanie, you got to leave these men alone. They do not want to talk to you.” (18:55)
  • Jeffrey: “If police are already involved, please don’t contact us.” (22:48)

Episode Tone & Takeaways

The episode begins with a humorous and sympathetic investigation into a dating ghosting—but quickly turns surreal as Scott’s side unfolds. Host banter is breezy and irreverent, but gives way to genuine concern as it becomes clear Melanie’s behavior pushed boundaries, leading to roommate distress and a police call. Melanie’s playful, almost oblivious demeanor in the face of confrontation creates a tense but memorable listening experience, with hosts urging healthier boundaries for everyone involved.

Key Takeaway:
Sometimes, it’s not just “bad luck” in dating—sometimes, it’s a full-blown second date red flag parade. And as Brooke says: "If police are already involved, please don’t contact us…"

[Brooke]

All right, welcome to the official podcast. Thank you so much for being Here. And before we get into today's brand new second date podcast, what do we got on comments? Yeah, well, on yesterday, Brooke breaks you up. Big till commented and said, since you guys do Brooke breaks you up, you should start a segment called Alexis arranges a date where callers call in to have Alexis get them set up on a date with somebody they like. I feel that. Let's lean into more of the alliteration and go. Alexis arranges annulments. Just find any newlyweds that don't want to be wed anymore.

[Jeffrey]

Aren't they talking about Alexis asked you out?

[Brooke]

Oh, that's not as fun. No, they're talking something out. But you're right, that is. Yeah, all right, good point. We'll work on it. We'll work on it right now. Enjoy this episode. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Commercial Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

Here's a little secret. When we get emails for this segment, sometimes people like to share their dating journey.

[Melanie]

Oh, okay, that's.

[Brooke]

There's no secret there, Jeff. It's like in the title. That's what?

[Jeffrey]

No, I. I mean more than just like the date that we're talking about. Like, I matched with 52 people and I found 51 had dated my stepdad.

[Brooke]

I see.

[Jeffrey]

But that means this one is good

[Brooke]

to man that stepdad, who must be a pro. Well, we have the context to know why they're here.

[Jeffrey]

And I was just using that as an example because this segment can obviously get weird. And today our listener Melanie mentioned in her email that she had a bump in the road on her dating journey recently and she'd be willing to share that with us. So, Melanie, I know that the guy that you're emailing about, his name is Scott, but apparently there was a date scheduled before that. Can you tell us that story?

[Melanie]

Yeah. So not my best moment.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, that's right. We've always had. Everyone's had those moments.

[Jeffrey]

So what happened?

[Melanie]

So we're meeting at a bar, basically, and then he texts me that he's going to be 15 minutes late. And I'm like, oh, that's not a big deal. Whatever. At least he's texting me.

[Brooke]

Yeah, gave you a heads up.

[Jeffrey]

More time to take shots beforehand. Go ahead. Yeah, get loose.

[Brooke]

And I'm sure that that worked out really well. I fit in.

[Jeffrey]

You're 15 minutes later.

[Brooke]

This is your fault.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so what happens?

[Melanie]

So he comes up to me, he shakes my hand, like really awkwardly, and then he says, I forgot my ID at home. So Sorry. I'm gonna go back and get it. And then he never comes back.

[Brooke]

Oh, girl, that's not anything to do with you. Yeah?

[Melanie]

What do you mean?

[Brooke]

Not your best moment. That's his bad.

[Jeffrey]

Why are you embarrassed about it?

[Melanie]

Well, because obviously he saw me and then didn't want to do the date.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you think it was an excuse?

[Brooke]

I hate him, Melanie. Yeah, listen to him. You're hot, you're beautiful. You deserve someone better than that.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Laying on a little bit thick, but.

[Sean Duffy]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Well, we don't really know. Messed up, man.

[Jeffrey]

It is messed up. So, your hand.

[Brooke]

He said we're not defending him.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we're saying good riddance to that last guy. Let's move on to this new guy, Scott. Oh, I thought this is the guy we were calling. No, he was the last loser. He blew his shot. Tell us about this new man.

[Melanie]

Well, I took a break from Tinder for, like, a month because that was just.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it shook you.

[Melanie]

Right? Exactly. And so I thought, okay, I'll try again. And that's when I met Scott.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Melanie]

And he asked if we could just go for a walk on our date, Which I loved that idea.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you don't need an ID to go on a walk. I mean, it sounds kind of cheap to me. That's a free date,

[Brooke]

you guys. I mean, you're probably nervous even for a walk at this point because of what had just happened to you.

[Melanie]

Yeah. But it was nice. And he was really cute. He gave me a flower. Just one. But, you know, we walked a lot all around the city, just talked about all kinds of stuff, hobbies, and both of us like to travel, so we talked a lot about that.

[Scott]

Nice.

[Melanie]

And then it turns out I know one of his roommates, actually.

[Brooke]

Oh, really?

[Melanie]

Okay.

[Brooke]

That's wild.

[Melanie]

Oh, yeah. His name is Max. And this is from, like, a few years ago. I haven't talked to him in a while. We've kind of lost touch.

[Brooke]

But wait, you were just friends with Max? Or was there more of a situation with Max in the past?

[Melanie]

Let's say we are special friends.

[Brooke]

Yep.

[Jeffrey]

That doesn't bother you at all?

[Melanie]

No. I think, though, it might have bothered Scott. And maybe that's why he's not calling me, because I think I was asking too many questions about Max.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Either that or he went back and said, oh, my God, Max. And Max is like, you can't date. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Told some stories about. Share something.

[Melanie]

I. I don't think so.

[Commercial Announcer]

Okay.

[Brooke]

I mean, like, would you consider it an exo or just a You know what I mean?

[Melanie]

Yeah. Just special friends. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

For a long time period.

[Brooke]

Okay, you guys, let's get over Max. That's the whole point. We're talking about Scott, right?

[Jeffrey]

There must have been more good moments from the. The walk with Scott.

[Melanie]

Yeah, yeah. At the end I thought, okay, I'm going to make sure he knows I'm into him. And so I said, hey, do you want to go back to your place and have some fun?

[Commercial Announcer]

Whoa.

[Brooke]

After a walk in the middle of the day, I liked it.

[Jeffrey]

I like her.

[Brooke]

Broad daylight, holding a single flower.

[Jeffrey]

Of course, Jose likes.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that is a. That is a big jump.

[Narrator/Host]

Yeah.

[Melanie]

I just wanted to, you know, hang out and get to know him more.

[Jeffrey]

Have fun, bro.

[Brooke]

Is that what you meant by have fun?

[Melanie]

What do you mean by it?

[Jeffrey]

Brooke, why don't you explain what you mean by go back to someone's place?

[Brooke]

I have a feeling that I would have taken that very wrong.

[Commercial Voice]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Melanie]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

She busts out Scrabble. Brooke's like, wait a minute.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I have my pants off already.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry, Melanie. Brooke has a very, very dirty mind on this show.

[Brooke]

Everyone else thought the same.

[Jeffrey]

It was mostly you.

[Brooke]

That is not true.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Brooke, come on. They just want to have fun. The rest of us are very wholesome, family oriented around here.

[Narrator/Host]

Melanie.

[Jeffrey]

So what does Scott say to your open invitation?

[Melanie]

He said he had a few things going on and he wasn't sure and he would text me later. Call me later.

[Jeffrey]

So after you left it with Scott, what's happened since?

[Melanie]

Nothing. I never heard from him. And it's been a couple of days now, and I texted, are you okay? And nothing.

[Brooke]

I think we're gonna get either a story from Max or, yeah, it's an

[Jeffrey]

old story or something.

[Brooke]

Or some sort of definition of fun.

[Jeffrey]

Well, either way, you deserve to get the answers that you came here seeking. So let's reach out to Scott. We'll see if he picks up. And hopefully he explained why he turned down your very enticing invite to hang out and play board games at his place. When we do your second date update right after this. Hold on.

[Melanie]

Thank you.

[Commercial Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

If you're just joining us, our listener, Melanie, was on a date with a guy taking a long walk through the city. When she found out she knows his roommate. She described it as a quote, special friend, fun situation, which I don't know what that means now. I thought I did, but I'm not so sure anymore. Yeah, it's also true still, obviously it complicates things. The main issue being she spent a lot of time asking about the roommate and much less time actually talking about Scott. Her date, himself.

[Brooke]

She tried to make up for it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she did.

[Brooke]

Yeah. That's why she realized it, too.

[Jeffrey]

Had kind of an invitation back to her place and back to his place.

[Brooke]

Any place, anywhere would have worked.

[Jeffrey]

But just to hang out.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Again, don't know exactly what the situation is, but clearly he has not spoken to her since. So my theory, Melanie. Is it possible Scott went back to his roommate, told him the story, and the roomie said, whoa, be careful. She's wifey material. And that thought scared him. What do you think? She's perfect.

[Brooke]

That's what everyone was thinking.

[Melanie]

Jeff, I don't think that's it.

[Commercial Voice]

Okay.

[Melanie]

But I don't know.

[Brooke]

Well, I mean, it's still on the table.

[Jeffrey]

You wouldn't describe yourself as wifey material. Should think that's it.

[Melanie]

I mean, I guess. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Scott]

See?

[Jeffrey]

Anything's a possibility. Let's call Scott. We'll see if he even picks up, and hopefully can clear this whole situation up for us. Are you ready, Melanie?

[Melanie]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

All right, let's get some answers.

[Melanie]

Excited. Like, really excited.

[Brooke]

Maybe we should tone that back a little bit. Concerned about that. Take a deep breath and.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, that's good advice. I'm gonna take a deep breath right now before we make this call.

[Scott]

Nice.

[Brooke]

It is good. It resets. This is wasting our time, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

It was Brook's advice. Okay, I'm just gonna dial the number. Here we go.

[Scott]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Scott?

[Scott]

Yeah. Who's calling, please?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Scott, you're on a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and the entire world is listening. How are you doing?

[Orderly Meds Spokesperson]

Dramatic.

[Brooke]

Really overshot that.

[Scott]

Yeah. I mean, is this a prank?

[Jeffrey]

The entire world thing is. Yeah, we do.

[Brooke]

We do pranks. We do that.

[Jeffrey]

But that's not what this segment is. We're calling because you made one of our listeners sad by ghosting her after your date.

[Scott]

What? Who?

[Melanie]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Who?

[Jeffrey]

That's a good question. It's a woman named Melanie.

[Brooke]

A lovely woman you went on a walk with.

[Scott]

No, no, no, no. Are you guys serious? Yeah, for real.

[Jeffrey]

This is a segment we do called Second Date Update. Trying to give you a chance.

[Scott]

No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm gonna stop you. This has got to be a joke. I'm not. I'm not doing this. This is crazy.

[Brooke]

Okay, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. Crazy is kind of a wild reaction. You guys went on a walk together?

[Scott]

Yeah, I don't I don't. I don't. I don't. Did she call? Like, what is. I don't think.

[Brooke]

I don't like any of that about Melanie.

[Jeffrey]

I know this is an overwhelming experience for you, Scott. We're calling you out of the blue, and I get that. But we're just trying to give you a chance to explain why after the date, Melanie hasn't heard from you. Because she's confused.

[Scott]

I don't think I should be talking to you about this. Honestly, I don't know what to say.

[Jeffrey]

Why?

[Scott]

Yeah, really?

[Brooke]

Okay. She did tell us that she knows your roommate from the past.

[Scott]

Are you kidding me? No. Like, I. Yes, she knows my roommate. Like, I don't know. She called you guys. This is crazy. You understand?

[Jeffrey]

Why are you having this reaction, Scott?

[Scott]

I don't. I don't. I don't even want to say much. Like, I don't. I don't want to talk about this. I don't want to know anything about. I don't want to be involved in this at all.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so did you tell your roommate that you went out with her?

[Scott]

Yeah, I told my roommate I went out with her.

[Jeffrey]

Like, okay.

[Brooke]

Okay, that's where we need to go next. What did the roommate say?

[Jeffrey]

What was the reaction?

[Scott]

He freaked the out.

[Brooke]

Why?

[Scott]

I tell him. I tell him I go on this date with this girl named Melanie, and he looks at me like I have four heads.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Scott]

And he's just like, let me see. I show him her picture and he just. Without saying anything or doing anything else, he just takes his phone out of his pocket and he dials 911.

[Brooke]

What?

[Scott]

And he's like, dude, did she follow you home? Did she just know where you live?

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. Is she stalking your roommate?

[Scott]

I don't know. I don't know anything. The cops, they show up?

[Brooke]

No, they actually came?

[Scott]

Yes, they came. And there's, like, footprints in our backyard, and he's, like, thinking it's her, and, like, I'm asking him about it, and he's like, didn't want to talk about it. Like, I don't know anything. I don't want to know.

[Jeffrey]

So, Scott, your roommate didn't say anything about this? Like, did he provide any background?

[Scott]

No, he. He was just like, dude, leave it. Don't get involved. This is bad enough, okay?

[Brooke]

If the cops show up, that's all the background we need. Jeff. Okay? Cops don't just show up when you feel like a picture of someone on a dating app.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, the history of something I've had cops show up randomly and tear their pants off, but that was for a different story. Well, they sort of dress like them.

[Brooke]

No. Okay, this is so bad.

[Jeffrey]

So, I mean, at this point, what do we do?

[Brooke]

Well, we have to tell them I'm

[Jeffrey]

with you, but I. I don't know the right way.

[Brooke]

I'm freaking out about this. We should not have her trying to

[Jeffrey]

stay calm and keep the situation tame. Do we hang up? Because, Scott, here's what you need to know. And don't freak out about it.

[Brooke]

Or do freak out.

[Jeffrey]

Please don't. But Melanie is actually on this phone call right now listening to it.

[Scott]

No, no, it's okay.

[Melanie]

Hold on.

[Brooke]

I'm so sorry. We are so sorry, Scott.

[Scott]

No, I. I gotta. I can't talk to. I can't talk to her.

[Jeffrey]

You don't have to talk to her. Just hear her out for one second. And then if not, we can always have you leave. But, Melanie, I want to hear.

[Melanie]

Hi, Scott. I miss you.

[Jeffrey]

Why are you so happy?

[Melanie]

What do you mean? Where am I? I'm home, girl.

[Brooke]

Why are you being so calm? I know they called the cops on you and the cops showed up. What is. What is going on?

[Melanie]

Listen, you know how Max is. He can be a little bit of a drama king. He can overreact. You live with him, you know.

[Scott]

No, no. Max is super chill. He's the chilliest guy I know.

[Melanie]

The fact that he thought I followed you home, that's really funny. Funny?

[Jeffrey]

Why. Why would that be funny? Melanie?

[Brooke]

Did you. Were you in their backyard?

[Melanie]

Look, that was just a special friend misunderstanding. And if Max doesn't want to be in touch anymore, I'll just have to be okay with it anymore.

[Scott]

Stop calling him a special friend. You kept saying that on our date, and it's. It's weird. You're weird.

[Melanie]

Well, did you talk to him about me? Does he forgive me? Because I forgive him.

[Jeffrey]

Forgive for what?

[Brooke]

Did you. Wait.

[Jeffrey]

What would require forgiveness?

[Melanie]

Yeah, look, just because him and I are no go, it doesn't mean that you and I, Scott, don't have a path to the future.

[Jeffrey]

You really have a talent for skirting around what's actually happening.

[Brooke]

Did you find Scott because of his roommate online?

[Melanie]

Scott, I can explain it all to you later. I'm not going to do it here on the radio.

[Brooke]

Don't, Melanie.

[Melanie]

It will make you laugh, I promise. It's all very silly.

[Scott]

Melanie, we would like you to never contact us again. That's the bottom line. Don't ever call the radio.

[Melanie]

Call what?

[Scott]

The news. Don't contact us again.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. I feel like now someone's being a little bit controlling in the relationship.

[Brooke]

Jeff, this is not a time to be sarcastic.

[Jeffrey]

Sometimes when you want something done, it's helpful to do a compliment sandwich. So why don't you say one nice thing about Melanie and then tell her never to stalk you again?

[Melanie]

Go ahead.

[Jeffrey]

She would really like that.

[Scott]

Melanie. You know, like, I, I, I appreciated the compliment about my, my shiny hair, but, like, like, it's kind of creepy.

[Brooke]

Yeah, probably making hair dolls

[Jeffrey]

yesterday.

[Brooke]

Melanie, you got to leave these men alone. They do not want to talk to you.

[Jeffrey]

They're sending you a very clear signal right now.

[Melanie]

Scott, if you change your mind, you know where to find me and we can have a lot of fun together.

[Brooke]

Now I'm scared.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Brooke]

Her fun is to go.

[Scott]

Remember that. All right?

[Jeffrey]

I'm not even going to offer for another date. I feel like we got the information that we needed. Hopefully, Scott, you got a little bit of closure out of this experience. And if you need more evidence, you can find the podcast up at BrookenJeffrey.

[Brooke]

Good plug, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Good plug. Yeah.

[Scott]

[Jeffrey]

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal.

[Narrator/Host]

So there goes my big Idea for the commercial.

[Jeffrey]

Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment

[Orderly Meds Spokesperson]

of $45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for a 12 month plan. Required $15 per month equivalent taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy. See terms.

[Jeffrey]

Wow. If we had known what she was really trying to do there, then we never would have made that call.

[Melanie]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

First place.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I think that is an important thing to be said.

[Narrator/Host]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we were misled, definitely. But it just occurred to me at the end of her first date when she said, why don't we go back to your place and have some fun? Now I know what fun means to her. I get it.

[Brooke]

It's still not fun to me. That's so weird.

[Jeffrey]

But to her. I want to confront your roommate for the restraining order he just filed against me. That's fun for her.

[Brooke]

Never would have guessed that that was not on my list. Why do the ones that sound so normal

[Jeffrey]

just turn out to be the most fun? Yeah, like, hey, I'm stalking you, but you got nothing to worry about.

[Melanie]

You're writing the word fun for me.

[Jeffrey]

She did pull the old Trojan horse move, though. She's not gonna break into the apartment. She's gonna get invited in by the roommate with the promise of good times. What a coincidence. You guys are roommates.

[Brooke]

Weird. I love how she was like, well, how would I have known that he was his roommate?

[Jeffrey]

I like the research idea.

[Melanie]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Did I just lock the door behind us as we stepped in here? How did that happen?

[Orderly Meds Spokesperson]

Anyway?

[Brooke]

Okay, let's be safe, everybody.

[Jeffrey]

I will say we blocked her phone and we blocked her email afterwards, so we should not be hearing from her again. Okay, good.

[Brooke]

And I hope those guys move group soon.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah, quickly.

[Jeffrey]

But we do need to hear from you. If you need help with your dating life, email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling.

[Commercial Announcer]

Fun.

[Jeffrey]

It's gonna be so fun.

[Brooke]

We can say, if police are already involved, please don't contact us.

[Jeffrey]

Good disclaimer.
