Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The "Hot People Dating Problem"

• Brooke and Jeffrey open with a discussion around a viral influencer clip asserting that conventionally attractive individuals have a harder time finding relationships.
  • Jeffrey: “If you're a 9 or a 10, you're basically cooked and are never going to be able to lock anyone down.” (05:00)
  • Tammy confirms and identifies as a “9 or 10,” lamenting the lack of equally attractive partners and calling out the perils of “dating down.” (06:06)

2. Tammy’s Date Recap

• Tammy describes her date with Tucker, which began with drinks, a sunset hangout, and then watching his friends' band.
  • Notably, Tucker pulled out journals for sunset scribbling, asking her to join him in writing by the ocean—a move Tammy finds both odd and charming.
  • Tammy: “He pulls out two notebooks, and he gave me a notebook. And he was like, let’s journal.” (08:13)
• The night concluded with a brief kiss and Tammy feeling there was real potential for a connection. However, Tucker vanished from contact afterward.

3. Unpacking the Ghosting

• The team speculates on potential reasons for Tucker's radio silence.
  • Brooke: “I don't understand, like, if this was all great. Like, the drinks were great. The attractive level was great. You guys connected on a deeper... why wouldn't he be calling you back?” (08:50)

4. Reaching Out to Tucker (13:17)

• Jeffrey calls Tucker; the conversation is friendly but direct. Tucker confesses he was “turned off” by something that happened during the date: he accidentally read Tammy’s journal.
  • Tucker: “I opened it up and I just started reading...it was all just about attractiveness, nines, tens. It was kind of shallow.” (15:01)

5. The Journal Confession and Fallout

• Tucker explains he was hoping for deeper thoughts (“nothing about the ocean or sunset or peace” (15:51)), but Tammy’s writing was preoccupied with looks and wanting to escalate the date physically.
  • Tucker: “I just think I need someone deeper or on my level in terms of how they act, and it just seemed pretty shallow at the end of the day.” (16:30)
• Tammy is stunned and turns the accusation back at Tucker, suggesting he’s “a creep” for snooping through her private thoughts.
  • Tammy: “Yeah, I'm just kind of stunned at what a creep you are, apparently.” (17:11)

6. Rapid-Fire Back and Forth

• The conversation devolves into mutual accusations:
  • Tammy calls Tucker a “stalker” (17:30), while Tucker defends himself as wanting “someone with a personality” and suggests Tammy wasn’t as deep as he hoped (17:26, 16:30).
  • The team lightly grills both about their expectations and methods. Tammy insists she’d still give Tucker another shot “because, you know… might as well be a hot one.” (19:51-19:54)
  • Alexis: “We're going to end up with a project either way. Might as well be a hot one.” (19:51)
• Tucker officially declines another date, advising Tammy to "buy a notebook... hopefully it's a little bit better." (20:45)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Jeffrey (on dating as a 'ten'): “Why does God punish all the extremely attractive women of this world?” (11:19)
• Brooke (sarcastic): “This is really the definition of empathy.” (11:37)
• Tammy: "The lips are where the magic happens, you know?" (09:43)
• Tucker (after snooping): "There was nothing about, like, the ocean or the sunset or, like, peace, which is what my journaling is all about." (15:51)
• Tammy: "Who micromanages someone's journal entries?" (17:19)
• Tucker: "You could have read my journal. It is much deeper. You would have loved it." (17:49)
• Alexis (on dating projects): “We're going to end up with a project either way. Might as well be a hot one.” (19:51)
• Tammy (on wanting Tucker anyway): “I wanted that hot bullet so bad.” (21:23)

Tone & Delivery

The episode is light-hearted, fast-paced, and a mix of snark and sincerity—a hallmark of Brooke and Jeffrey. The hosts tease both Tammy and Tucker, skewering their vanity and quirks while ultimately showing empathy (and some exasperation) for the messiness of modern dating.

---

Conclusion

Outcome: No second date—the confrontation reinforces differences in priorities and perceptions of “depth,” leaving both parties rolling their eyes (but perhaps also reflecting on their own journals).
Final Message: Sometimes the hottest connections burn out the fastest, especially when you peek behind the velvet rope…or the journal flap.
Hosts' Advice: Honest self-expression is good, but maybe skip the live journaling next time. And as always, embrace who you are—even when it gets awkward.

[Pharmaceutical Announcer]

Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real, and so is the relief from Ebglis. After an initial dosing phase, about 4 in 10 people taking EBGLIS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks, and most of those people maintained skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.

Ebglis Librekizumab LBKZ a 250 milligram per 2 milliliter injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals, or who cannot use topical therapies. Ebgliss can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to Epglis. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Epglis. Before starting Epglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection.

Searching for real relief? Ask your doctor about epglis and visit epgliss.lily.com or call 1-800-lilyrx or 1-800-545-5979.

[Brooke]

Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We got a brand new second day episode for you. Yes, but first some time for reflection. Oh, reflection. Yes. Because we got so many comments about the very brand new episode. Very first time ever. Alexis asks you out.

[Alexis]

Very awkward one. Yes, last week. But thank you guys so much. Your comments are so nice. I was reading all of them and I was like oh, I just wasn't expecting it. You guys are so sweet. Thank you.

[Tammy]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Zany said, Alexis, you're freaking amazing. I would 100% let you ask my next date out.

[Alexis]

Whoa. That's what you took from that?

[Brooke]

Okay. Wayne said, finally my girl Alexis has her time to shine. Not going to lie, this might be my favorite part of the show from now on. Love from Poland.

[Jeffrey]

You want more?

[Brooke]

Oh no. And then Libby said I really needed a good laugh today and Alexis did that for me. The beginning was cringe. Yeah, well, but you recovered it pretty well. Really.

[Alexis]

I'm glad you think that.

[Tammy]

Didn't you see?

[Brooke]

What about how fast you.

[Redfin Advertiser]

Yes.

[Alexis]

Chantelle said, I normally listen to your show on 1.5 speed because you talk too slow. But Alexis's new segment is the first time I could slow it down to one times normal speed. So we're on the same wavelength.

[Brooke]

It's really funny. So thank you so much for all the. It got over 40 comments on the.

[Alexis]

No, you guys are so nice.

[Brooke]

Thank you.

[Alexis]

Even though I know you were, you know, it was the awkwardness most of you let you know you like. Yeah, I'm still recovering, but your comments help.

[Brooke]

All right, we're going to get to a brand new second date update right now.

[Alexis]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

A popular influencer on Instagram recently got millions of views for a 10 second clip where she said she has a theory that the more attractive you get, the less likely you are to get a boyfriend or a girlfriend. And if you're a 9 or a 10, you're basically cooked and are never going to be able to lock anyone down.

[Brooke]

You know, I could actually see this. My best friend was stunning.

[Jeffrey]

You don't have to talk about me like I'm not in the room.

[Brooke]

And people were intimidated by her and they thought she was mean, but she wasn't. She was just shy and hot. Like, it's not a, you know, it's a hard combination to live with.

[Libby]

But also she's rare because a lot of them are mean.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, they've earned that right because they're so hot. And I wonder if our listener Tammy, who's on the phone right now, would agree with that since she's actually the one who sent me that clip. Oh, so Tammy, you, you believe that, huh, guys?

[Tammy]

Ye. I sent that to you because I agree with it and I feel like it applies to me right now.

[Brooke]

Okay, so you're the, you're the hot girl having a hard time in the dating world.

[Tammy]

Yeah, Like, I've been told that I'm a 9 or 10, but if I am that attractive and you're that attractive, then chances are you also already have like a very small group of people who are in your league at all. So the chances of them, like, like, like you have no chance.

[Brooke]

You have no chance. If you, if you're really hot, there's not very many other hot people to date and you don't want to date down. Is that what I'm hearing? Yeah, it's.

[Alexis]

If you're looking for equal in numbers. Yeah.

[Tammy]

Right. And like, I used to be nice. I used to be too nice.

[Brooke]

Okay,

[Libby]

what we just said, I was

[Brooke]

like you're like, past tense for you.

[Jeffrey]

But all the terrible men out there obviously couldn't meet up to your nice standards, so you had to get mean.

[Tammy]

Like, after a while, you teach this. Sixes and sevens and oops. Oh, sorry.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's why she said oops.

[Tammy]

Yeah, you teach them enough about themselves. Like, I was. I was being gratified by, like, helping out guys that weren't in my league, like, when I was younger, you know? And then it's like, self improvement. And when you feel like you're finally finding yourself on a new level, like, your world opens up. There are, like, levels of nines and tens you find yourself in. You're like, I made it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I am not fully following all of this. I'm going to be honest with you.

[Jeffrey]

I'm fully with you, by the way, Tammy, I'm like, our brains are connected.

[Brooke]

Can we get to your date that you're calling us about?

[Jeffrey]

I want to talk about this more, but.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

I guess you've met a guy, though, that has matched your standards that you're holding for yourself. What's his name?

[Tammy]

Yes, his name's Tucker.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Tammy]

And I didn't even know I had this standard, honestly, because I have never seen his moves before.

[Brooke]

His moves?

[Tammy]

His moves, like, the moves he put on me were like. I mean, they were like 11 moods.

[Brooke]

Oh, were you at a movie theater? And he reached around and put his arm.

[Jeffrey]

That's. That's a fourth grade. Tell us about Tucker, how you guys met and what his moves were.

[Tammy]

Too hot. We met off the app.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Tammy]

Yeah. And first we got drinks. It was good drinks. And then we. We watched the sunset. And then after that, we saw a band that his friends were in, but, like, it was the Sunset Moves.

[Brooke]

What were the Sunset moves? What do you do?

[Tammy]

So here's what he does. He has, like, a little backpack. He pulls out two notebooks, and he gave me a notebook. And he was like, let's journal.

[Libby]

Oh, whoa, that's deep.

[Brooke]

Why did I want him to pull out champagne for you?

[Libby]

Are you not impressed with that?

[Brooke]

I don't know.

[Alexis]

I'm all for journaling on your free time, not on a date.

[Libby]

You.

[Jeffrey]

You liked the journal move?

[Tammy]

Okay. It seemed corny, but, like, first of all, there weren't a lot of other people around, so I was, like, a little more kind of natural. And then, like, I don't know, it just turned out nice.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Tammy]

Like, you know, we weren't even talking.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Man with layers.

[Brooke]

Yeah. I don't understand, like, if this Was all great. Like, the drinks were great. The attractive level was great. You guys connected on a deeper, like, why wouldn't he be calling you back?

[Tammy]

Yeah, I know. Well, then we went to see the band.

[Libby]

Yeah.

[Tammy]

So that kind of like, changed it up. Like, we didn't really get to live in that moment. Like. Yeah, we could have gone back to his place, you know what I'm saying?

[Libby]

Oh, if he asked you, you would have said yes.

[Tammy]

Yeah, I mean, if we could have journaled at his house too. Like, I don't know. It's like a good buffer.

[Brooke]

So you didn't. You didn't enjoy the band experience to end the night?

[Tammy]

Well, he knew them, but I didn't. So I kind of just like. And I had just had a really intense experience with him and then it's

[Libby]

like back to reality.

[Tammy]

Like, we weren't able to connect on that level that we had reached. So, like we were there for maybe 45 minutes and then he just walked me to my car. But he gave me a kiss.

[Libby]

Oh, good. It was a nice kiss.

[Tammy]

Yeah. I mean, it was like, it didn't say much, but it wasn't like, inexperienced. It wasn't like it was warm. Like, the lips are where the magic happens, you know?

[Jeffrey]

That's. That's a line for your journal, for sure. Okay, so what's happened since that night?

[Tammy]

He isn't getting back to me. Like, I only know who he is through the app. And that's infuriating too. It was like, we aren't connected on social, so I don't know if he just, like, isn't using the app anymore. Like, I'm telling you he's Prince Charming.

[Brooke]

Can we. You're saying that you can't find him online anywhere? Is that what you're saying?

[Tammy]

Yeah, Well, I can't find him online, so I can't stalk him and see if someone's in his life. And like, yeah, like, he gave me his phone number, but I don't know. I think he. I don't think he forgot about me. But like, I mean, he's winning at life, so like, maybe.

[Jeffrey]

No, he's not winning. He's not winning at life because he doesn't have you in it right now.

[Tammy]

Right, Right.

[Libby]

I'm going to write that.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I'm going to write that down. That's all.

[Tammy]

Journal. Yes. It's a great move.

[Jeffrey]

Romantic.

[Brooke]

That is romantic. Myself, plotting himself.

[Jeffrey]

I'm disappointed in Tucker, cuz you shouldn't be the one that's seeking him out. He should be seeking you out as the 9 and 10 to like fulfill his part of his life.

[Libby]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I'm going to scratch that one out of the journal. That one's not good. That wasn't as.

[Brooke]

That didn't hit.

[Jeffrey]

No, it didn't hit. Okay, but we're going to make sure that it hits right. When we come back, we'll call Tucker and ask him why he's not calling back the most gorgeous girl he's ever matched with on the dating app.

[Brooke]

Hey, we don't know that she has to be.

[Jeffrey]

She's got the way that she's talking. Anyway, we'll come back and do it right after this. Hold on.

[Alexis]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

Why does God punish all the extremely attractive women of this world?

[Libby]

Okay, someone's just tuning in. Confused.

[Brooke]

I don't know, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

I know all the fours and fives are listening to this right now thinking, I feel so bad for the nines and tens. They have it so hard.

[Brooke]

I mean this is really the definition of empathy.

[Jeffrey]

Yes. I never thought pretty privilege could be this dark. Is there a GoFundMe for these poor women? What can I do to help? Okay, if you're thinking that, here's what you can do. Text into 78592 and cheer on our listener. Tammy. That's right, a self described hottie with all of the looks and personality to offer but no man on earth who can handle her.

[Brooke]

I feel like you should start a non profit where we adopt one.

[Jeffrey]

We really should.

[Libby]

We know, worst case, she's a nine.

[Jeffrey]

The only guy who maybe can come close is Tucker. A good looking dude who took her to an area to watch the sunset and busted out some journals so they could write down their feelings together.

[Brooke]

Aw. And I thought that was pretty cool because you were really concentrated on people's looks for a minute there. But then the activity that you liked was really deep and thoughtful. So good for you.

[Tammy]

Oh, I can't take responsibility for the journal idea, you know, but I did say yes to it.

[Brooke]

Well, I know, but it's a thing that you like.

[Tammy]

I mean, I will use it if he doesn't. If he really doesn't like me, then I will use it with someone else.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, that's worst case scenario. Assuming Tucker would say no. I don't know why he would. To another chance to go out with you.

[Libby]

Well, a gorgeous woman I don't know the sunset with. They journaled like it sounds like on his end. It was a great night.

[Tammy]

You guys are making me want to call Him? Can you just call him?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, okay.

[Brooke]

God, I wish could facetime though, cuz I really want to see this guy.

[Jeffrey]

Timmy's right. She suffered long enough. Let's get this over with and hopefully get Tucker on the phone. Here we go.

[Tucker]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Tucker?

[Tucker]

Yeah, who is this?

[Jeffrey]

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

[Tammy]

Yeah, what's up?

[Libby]

Good morning.

[Brooke]

Hey, Tucker.

[Tucker]

That was just mid workout. Is this important? What is this about?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, sorry, yeah, I'm so. I don't mean to like get in the.

[Brooke]

In the way of your hot and sweaty right now.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, early morning workouts for putting that image in my head. Listen, Tucker, we'll try not to waste too much of your time because I know you've got important body sculpting to do, but this is called the Second Date Update and we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you went out with recently. Lovely woman named Tammy.

[Tucker]

Oh, okay.

[Tammy]

Okay.

[Libby]

Do you remember her?

[Tucker]

Yeah. What is this about? Why are you guys calling me about Tammy?

[Jeffrey]

Because Tammy's a little bit confused. She thought the two of you had a nice time together, but since then you haven't been reaching out for another meetup.

[Tucker]

Yeah, well, to be honest, I was a little turned off.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Really? Really. I mean, can you tell us at what point you were turned off during the night? Because we heard it and it sounded pretty good start to finish.

[Tucker]

I'm not sure what she told you about what happened during our date, but

[Jeffrey]

I mean, we can give you a quick recap. There was a sunset. There was journaling. There was a concert. There was kisses. Yeah, and your friends were like in the band or something.

[Tucker]

Yeah, yeah, so we were at the concert and, you know, we got drinks and I went to go look at my journal and reflect, you know, and she was gone. She went to the bathroom. So at that point I went and looked at my journal.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Tucker]

And I guess they switched, so I pulled out hers instead.

[Libby]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, so you accidentally grabbed hers?

[Tucker]

Yeah, and I. I opened it up and I just started reading.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, what?

[Brooke]

She wouldn't. You open it up and then be like, oh, that's not mine, I should close that. Like my handwriting. Isn't the whole point of journaling to share like, unedited, uninterrupted thoughts that no one would ever hear?

[Jeffrey]

Well, maybe he didn't realize those weren't his thoughts until he was three paragraphs in. He was like, damn, I'm poetic.

[Brooke]

This feels like such a breach of privacy, man.

[Jeffrey]

Well, what about reading it was a turn off.

[Tucker]

Well, after I got a couple sentences in, I kind of realized it was just all over the place and it was all just about attractiveness, nines, tens. It was kind of shallow.

[Brooke]

She was. Wait, she was writing that stuff down?

[Tucker]

Yeah, she was writing all that kind of stuff down, and there was nothing about, like, the ocean or the sunset or, like, peace, which is what my journaling is all about.

[Brooke]

I know, but, like, I mean, give her a break. You just sprung it on earth. She also didn't think anybody would ever see it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, so I'm trying to figure out what about her not doing that. Like, why is that a red flag or why was that a turn off to you?

[Tucker]

Well, because she was sort of writing about how he's a nine, I'm a nine, and we should just end the concert and then just ask him to come to his place.

[Libby]

Oh, she's literally thankful.

[Brooke]

She was writing down exactly what she told us.

[Alexis]

Yeah, yeah, true.

[Jeffrey]

She was like, dream boarding.

[Tucker]

Yeah. So I think. I just think I need someone deeper or on my level in terms of how they act, and it just seemed pretty shallow at the end of the day.

[Brooke]

Yeah, okay.

[Libby]

Like, her emotional intelligence.

[Brooke]

I'm wild.

[Alexis]

You read through her journal?

[Brooke]

To be fair, she loved that exercise, and that was the thing that attracted her to you the most.

[Libby]

Yeah, true.

[Brooke]

Like, I feel like that speaks to what her priorities are.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, hey, Brooke, don't speak for her. Tammy can speak for herself. Because, Tucker, you should know she's actually on the other line listening to this call, waiting to talk to you.

[Tammy]

Not going to be happy.

[Brooke]

I mean, it's kind of like reading your journal, but just out loud.

[Libby]

She's still there.

[Jeffrey]

Tammy, are you there?

[Tammy]

Yeah, I'm just kind of stunned at what a creep you are, apparently. Oh, no.

[Brooke]

A creep.

[Jeffrey]

I'm assuming that's about Tucker and not us.

[Tammy]

Yeah, I mean, who. Who micromanages someone's journal entries?

[Tucker]

Someone with a personality, I would say.

[Tammy]

A stalker, maybe. A stalker does stalker.

[Brooke]

Okay, this is devolving quickly.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. He said it was an accident. He didn't mean to pick up your journal. He just.

[Brooke]

Oh, and he didn't mean to read sentence after sentence.

[Jeffrey]

A little bit music was going. The brain wasn't braining, you know?

[Tucker]

You know, you could have read my journal. It is much deeper. You would have loved it.

[Libby]

Well, wait, were you talking about her?

[Brooke]

I mean, now's the chance for you to share the entry that you wrote. Do you have it near you?

[Tucker]

I do, I do.

[Jeffrey]

I Don't know if we want to go down this path.

[Libby]

Honestly, he's like, she's a nine, I'm

[Brooke]

a sunset red, ocean blue.

[Libby]

I mean, we're kidding, bro.

[Jeffrey]

It sounds like Tucker feels like, Tammy, you came off as being really shallow and only interested in his looks, surface level.

[Brooke]

Is that fair?

[Tammy]

I mean, first of all, I don't think you can judge much about me from like 10 minutes of just writing whatever. That's like so shallow. And then you kept both like, what do you have a big stack of women's journals back at your slop house?

[Brooke]

Wait, he took your journal?

[Tammy]

Yeah, he just put them in his backpack. I thought, you know, that's again, this is why I thought that like we were gonna have a little like I, you know.

[Tucker]

You know, once I read that journal, I realized I shouldn't have waste any more paper audio and I.

[Tammy]

It wasn't even a new journal. It already had pages ripped out of the front.

[Libby]

Oh, really?

[Tammy]

No.

[Brooke]

So you've done this to other women. You have them write down their thoughts and then you judge them on it.

[Alexis]

Take the journal back.

[Libby]

Wait a minute. Now you're sounding kind shallow.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Tucker, how dare you have standards for the type of women that you want to date.

[Bowen Yang]

Apparently.

[Tucker]

Apparently you think I'm a nine, so I don't see the issue. That's all you were writing about anyways.

[Tammy]

Well, I think we're nines. We're nines. You know, I mean, I mean, I'm willing to go. I'm willing to look past them, honestly.

[Brooke]

What? Oh, what?

[Jeffrey]

Wait, even though he betrayed you and read all of your personal thoughts and

[Brooke]

just said all those terrible things?

[Tammy]

Well, okay, but like, you know, you. I'm sorry, Tucker. Earmuffs. Guys, you know about bros, like they need some help.

[Libby]

I mean, I can hear his six pack through the phone right now.

[Brooke]

You don't.

[Tammy]

He's literally at the gym. Right? You said you were literally pumping iron right now.

[Brooke]

That's the bro. You do not want a project, no matter how hot it is.

[Tammy]

Speak for yourself.

[Alexis]

Geez, we're gonna end up with a project either way. Might as well be a hot one.

[Libby]

Hey, you know, that's a good point, Alexis.

[Jeffrey]

God, you know that 25 year old Brooke would be all over Tucker right now.

[Brooke]

Oh, I dated hot and dark.

[Libby]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So let Tammy do the same.

[Tammy]

All right.

[Tucker]

You know, I'm a little offended here that you guys are making fun of me and calling me dumb. No, I bought two journals.

[Brooke]

Oh, well, that's fair. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke, do you want to apologize?

[Brooke]

Not one. But you know what? You're right.

[Libby]

Yeah, Brooke, fall on that.

[Brooke]

That is a sign of intelligence.

[Jeffrey]

So now that we're finally all on the same page and the other ones have been ripped out, let's just ask.

[Brooke]

Nice, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Tucker, would you be willing to give Tammy a second chance here and go out on another date with her?

[Tammy]

Come on, let's get some food. We didn't even get a good meal before the last date.

[Jeffrey]

Bro.

[Libby]

You must be so hot.

[Jeffrey]

Tucker, she is all about it, man.

[Tucker]

You know, I'm going to have to pass with that money that you would have paid for the date. I think you should buy Tammy a notebook and she can do some journaling. Hopefully it's a little bit better.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Tucker, we're not as deep as you, bro. There's no way we'd be able to pull it off.

[Libby]

I feel like the only about his journals.

[Tucker]

Yeah, you guys should try it. It does a lot for the soul.

[Libby]

Okay, what do you mean?

[Brooke]

Try writing or try reading somebody else's?

[Tucker]

Little this, little that.

[Jeffrey]

Well, hey, Tucker, we appreciate you being on with us. You can go back to working out and making that body perfect.

[Brooke]

And Tammy, you dodged a hot bullet. You really did.

[Tammy]

I wanted that hot bullet so bad.

[Libby]

Oh.

[Alexis]

Oh.

[Tammy]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

All right, got the next line for my journal.

[Tammy]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real. And so is the relief from Ebglis. After an initial dosing phase, about 4 in 10 people taking Eglis achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.

Ebgliss can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to ebglis. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur.

[Jeffrey]

Man, I respect a woman who goes after what she wants and ignores all the glaring red flags because she puts herself and her feelings first.

[Libby]

You know you want what you can't have.

[Tucker]

Jeff.

[Brooke]

I believed her at first when it was hard for her to date. But then after hearing this, I'm like, girl, it's because of what you're picking. Yeah, they're both kind of perfect.

[Alexis]

You just did this to yourself.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, and she didn't mind it. She had no shame saying she did not want to dodge that hot bullet.

[Brooke]

At least it was all on the table for her.

[Libby]

Yeah, that's true.

[Brooke]

Just didn't work out this time.

[Jeffrey]

I hope we hear back from both of them in an update. Update?

[Brooke]

Really?

[Alexis]

You want that?

[Jeffrey]

I do.

[Brooke]

Didn't he say no?

[Jeffrey]

I think it'll turn around. Oh, he'll reread her journal and see like, actually, we are meant for each other.

[Libby]

The next girl's journal he reads because it felt like a trick almost, maybe about her.

[Jeffrey]

I'm holding on to hope. Maybe that's stupid of me. But if you've missed any second dates in the last few months, go ahead and find us on Apple and Spotify, wherever you get your podcast, and binge us until your heart's content.
