Episode Summary

This episode of "Second Date Update" highlights the unpredictable, often messy reality of contemporary dating. Trey, a much-beloved (and often pitied) recurring guest, chases hope after a history of humiliations—this time after heroically stopping to help a broken-down bus. His burgeoning connection with Julie hits a wild snag when she confesses to having an ongoing “situationship” with a man in prison. Despite the odds (and the ongoing every-three-months visits to “jail guy”), Trey’s open-hearted optimism wins Julie’s agreement to one more date.

For listeners new to Trey's saga or just tuning in for the laughs and dramatic surprises, this episode delivers a full spectrum of human awkwardness, hope, and humor—with hosts who aren’t afraid to poke fun at love’s perplexing twists.

And I've been warned by Alexis that she has a long comment that she really wants to read. It is a long comment, but it's a nice one. So it was on an episode in December. Okay, reference. And they said. Oh my gosh, Alexis, I didn't know you listened to comments past. Yes, I thought I was a lone traveler in the abyss of comments long gone, where only travelers like myself would see comments and gain encouragement from the fact that we're not behind on the show alone. I'm catching up. And to those behind, onward. To those ahead. I'm on year six and the time is coming where I'm beside you as we anxiously await the next episode. Keep it gangsta.

[Trey]

I love it.

[Brooke]

I love it. And you know what? In a month, she'll hear that. Yep, get closer. You're getting here. You're getting here. When you hear this, let us know. And when you write your next novel, also let us know because I'll buy it.

[Trey]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Onward. Onward. Brand new episode starts right now. Brooke and Jeffrey in The morning second date update.

[Jeffrey]

You may remember a few months back, a listener we had on the show named Trey. We met his date at a singles mixer where the host was accidentally rude, telling him, oh, you're lucky that you're here tonight, cuz you're not that attractive.

[Brooke]

Oh, I do kind of remember that. I felt so bad for him.

[Jeffrey]

Right? And he was able to shake that off himself. A date took her out to a wine bar. And then come to find out that woman was actually paid to be there that night.

[Brooke]

It wasn't cute, the whole thing.

[Jeffrey]

So again, Trey is getting roasted, being called ugly, then learning that the women at the event didn't even really want to be there in the first place.

[Brooke]

I don't know that he needs recap, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Well, this is for our listeners. It's not. Trey remembers. He lived it. Our listeners may not remember, but just feel for him. Trey came on her show. He made his case to that woman, and it came down to this moment.

[Trey]

So, Steph, will you go out with me again? Can we try running it back and doing it again?

[Julie]

Yeah, I mean, I think I'm going to say yes. It's not like a pity yes or anything.

[Jeffrey]

Like, I really would like to see.

[Brooke]

That was so cute. I remember it ended really well.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. And then she ghosted him.

[Brooke]

What? Really?

[Jeffrey]

Really what? When she said, yeah, I really mean it. That means she does. That means I absolutely do not want to say yes to this, but I will to save my im.

[Brooke]

Trey, you are better than that.

[Trey]

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate that.

[Jeffrey]

And Brooke totally meant it when she said it.

[Brooke]

I really do.

[Jeffrey]

Trey has already suffered through the trifecta of humiliation. He's been through it all. But he. He's back. That's what's important. He's back again. So, Trey, thank you for trusting in the only people in this world who don't care how unattractive you are.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

We don't care.

[Brooke]

He is attractive. We haven't seen a photo.

[Jeffrey]

We don't. We don't care about your phys looks. And also, sure, Trey, we are getting paid to be here with you. Yeah, but that's not a lot. But we want to. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Trey, I'm not gonna let you talk to them anymore. How are you doing?

[Trey]

I've been pretty good, y'. All. I really appreciate it. Again, I'm. I'm giving love a chance. I'm. I'm hopeful.

[Brooke]

That's right, Trey.

[Trey]

Weird, weird situation. But I was driving home from work one day, and there was this bus that Was, like, broken down. It was kind of, like, blocking part of the road.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Trey]

So I go over because I want to check to make sure everybody, you know, is everybody okay? Is there anybody I can get help potentially?

[Brooke]

Nobody stops anymore. If you see a car on the side of the road, you do not stop for it anymore. I'm not for sure. You're saying you re ended the bus on accident?

[Jeffrey]

That's what Alexis would have done. And then drove off. Alexis.

[Trey]

Wow.

[Bowen Yang]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that is true. Not a lot of people would slow down at all, let alone stop to try and, like, assist.

[Brooke]

That's amazing.

[Trey]

Yeah. So I go chat with them, and they're waiting for, like, another bus come there, like, a tow truck. It was kind of. They weren't really sure what was going to happen next. The driver was having some issues getting a hold of anyone, so he was like, I think I'm going to run to this gas station to see if they have, like, a tow truck. And I suggest. I was like, why don't I just go run to the gas station? Like, stay with your bus. You're responsible for everybody, so.

[Brooke]

Okay. That's right.

[Jeffrey]

You've really volunteered to, like, be the superhero and swoop in to save the day for these people. I don't even know that.

[Trey]

It wasn't that big of a deal. I mean, the gas station was down the block. I could see it from where the bus was.

[Jeffrey]

And I guess the bus is blocking the road, so you need it to moves. You could drive home. So it's kind of selfish.

[Trey]

Yeah. And, like, as I was walking, some of the other folks from the bus were like, listen, we're just gonna bail on the bus. We're just gonna find someone to come pick us up. We don't know how long this is gonna take.

[Brooke]

I'd go and call an Uber as well.

[Trey]

But while we're walking in this group, I started chatting with one of the writers, this girl named Julie.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Trey]

And she's telling me, like, she was really bummed that she had a long day at work. She just wanted to get home to her dog, which was crazy, because I'm like, I have a dog? You have a dog.

[Julie]

That's so cool.

[Trey]

We talked about odds.

[Jeffrey]

What are the odds?

[Brooke]

That's cute, though.

[Jeffrey]

It's meant to be. It sounds.

[Brooke]

I mean, that's your opening to offer a ride, right?

[Trey]

Exact. Exactly.

[Brooke]

Okay. There we go. Dre saw the moment. You suddenly care less about the rest of the bus. Out.

[Jeffrey]

Everybody else, I know we met five minutes ago, but tell me where you live and I'll take you there.

[Trey]

Well, I didn't say like that, but I did offer. She said she already had someone coming to pick her up, so not a big deal. But I asked her for her number. I was like, why? Don't drink sometime.

[Bowen Yang]

Okay.

[Brooke]

And did that happen?

[Trey]

We did go on a date a few days later.

[Jeffrey]

Yep.

[Trey]

We did.

[Jeffrey]

You did?

[Brooke]

We finally get to the date.

[Bowen Yang]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I don't know if we have any time to talk about it at this point.

[Jeffrey]

I know it was a long walk to get here, like, literally and figuratively, so quickly, tell us about your date.

[Trey]

The date was great. Like, what was nice was we were texting a bunch leading up to it. Like, we had tons of bus jokes and all that, you know, haha. Don't. Don't take the bus to our date. Haha. You know?

[Jeffrey]

Okay, that's funny.

[Trey]

But when we got there, it really was just a drink. Like, really hung out for, like, less than an hour. We were just. It was great to get to know her. She was really shy and honestly, I understand. You know, how often do you just meet random people that came to your bus that broke down?

[Jeffrey]

And we should probably just get this question out of the way. Do you know if she found you attractive or if she was paid to ride the bus that day?

[Brooke]

Paid bus driver? Bus rider?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Trey]

I have yet to confirm or deny that information.

[Brooke]

All right, well, of course you found him attractive. You don't agree to a drink and give a guy your number that you don't find cute.

[Jeffrey]

But this is a little bit of a different scenario, because it sounds like, Trey, you were the hero that moment. You stepped up and tried to save the day for her. So I don't know, maybe if she felt obligated to go on that date with you and kind of be like, well.

[Brooke]

But she got her own ride. What did he do, walk her to the gas station? You know, it's not like he wasn't really.

[Trey]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

We don't know what part of the neighborhood they were in. It could have been a very dangerous area of town. So we're about to call Julie here. The good news is you've already been humiliated on this show so many times, how could it possibly get any worse? Right? That's exactly what I said. Just in a different way.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Matters.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. You feel good about this, right, Trey?

[Trey]

I Trust you guys 100%.

[Brooke]

That's a fatal flaw.

[Jeffrey]

Before we make that tragic call for your second date update and hopefully get you another meetup, we'll do it right after this. Hold on.

[Trey]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Brooke]

Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

If you missed it earlier, it's the glorious return of our listener, Trey. Yes. And I don't care what the rest of the room says. I am not afraid to call him the H word right to his face.

[Brooke]

Really?

[Jeffrey]

Hero. Oh, true story.

[Brooke]

Cause he is a good guy for sure.

[Jeffrey]

I see Brooks hesitant to use it. I'm not afraid. Cause he unselfishly pulled over while driving to help a broken down city bus full of random people. One of whom was Julie.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Who, if you could believe it, owns a dog. What are the odds? Ended up getting her number, taking her out to drinks where even though she was a little shy, he says they did have a really nice time together.

[Brooke]

I mean, maybe that's just why she's not calling you back right now.

[Jeffrey]

Just being a shy girl.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's possible. Some people have a hard time with that.

[Jeffrey]

It is true. No second date has materialized, so that's why he's come to us. But I don't think we really got the full picture of what's going on with her right now. Is she texting you? Have you called her or snapped her or dm? Like, what are we working with?

[Trey]

So I sent a few texts, weren't responded. I. You know, I'm smart enough to know not to completely double text. And then I also. I also called her, but left a voicemail and I haven't heard back.

[Brooke]

Can really backfire. Yeah, it was a short voicemail, right?

[Trey]

Yeah, it was sweetened to the point.

[Brooke]

Okay, see, I trust. Yeah, this guy's got emotional intelligence. He knows what's up.

[Jeffrey]

All right, I'm gonna dial Julie here. We'll see if she picks up the phone, and hopefully we can hook you two up for one more.

[Brooke]

We don't scare her is really what it is. She's a shy girl.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, we'll be very delicate with the shy guy.

[Brooke]

Gentle.

[Jeffrey]

Here we go.

[Trey]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hi, is this Julie?

[Julie]

Jeff.

[Brooke]

That's not. I already hear you. Hi, Julie.

[Julie]

Hi. Yeah, this is Julie.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry for yelling. Thank you for picking up. You're on the radio right now with a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. What we're doing is a dating segment that we have on our show. It's called the Second Date Update.

[Julie]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. It's a good thing. It means. It means you met somebody recently who had a really nice time with you, thought very highly of you, and wants to see you again.

[Julie]

What?

[Brooke]

Did you drop something?

[Trey]

Oh, God.

[Brooke]

We joke A lot, Julie, just so you know.

[Trey]

Okay, but this is a guy named.

[Jeffrey]

Trey that you met right after your bus broke down on the side of the road.

[Julie]

Yes, I know exactly who you're talking about.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, he told us that he's been texting you and calling you and trying to meet up, and for some reason that's not happening. He's a little bit confused. Why?

[Julie]

Listen, as far as traders, he's fantastic. And I would almost say, from what I could tell from the day we had, like, he's consistent. He's a very. What you see is what you get.

[Trey]

Good person.

[Brooke]

That's so great. What a wonderful thing to find out.

[Jeffrey]

That feels like that's a good thing, that you would want to see him again.

[Julie]

Yes. But the thing is, it's complicated. Like, he's very uncomplicated, and I'm in a little bit of a complicated situation.

[Jeffrey]

What situation?

[Brooke]

Complicated always means you're not single.

[Julie]

Yeah, I. Well, I. So I. I'm not in a relationship, but I am in a situationship. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Julie]

So I felt a little curious, like, oh, go on the date. You know, like, what? How's it going to be? And to be honest, I expected it not to go as well as it did. So when it did, I kind of. Yeah, I cut it short a little bit because I was just starting to feel guilty because here's this person who's really great, open, ready? And I normally would like those things, love those things, but I have this situationship kind of in the background, so.

[Brooke]

Just break it off. Why can't you just break off the situationship? Who cares about those?

[Jeffrey]

I thought that's the beauty of a situationship, is that there's less strings attached. It's easier to move on to the next.

[Julie]

Well, this has been going on for several months now, and it's just kind of. And it's. I think the biggest thing is that it's long distance.

[Brooke]

Oh, girl. What are you doing?

[Jeffrey]

Everything's working against you with that other guy. I mean, Trey's right here, like, right in front of you.

[Brooke]

You are standing in your own way right now.

[Jeffrey]

I know. He's even listening to this phone call quietly right now, waiting to jump in.

[Sponsor Announcer]

And speak to you.

[Julie]

Wait, you're kidding, right?

[Trey]

No, no.

[Jeffrey]

That. That part I'm actually not kidding about, because he's on the other line.

[Julie]

Oh, God.

[Trey]

Hey, how's it going, Trey?

[Julie]

Hey. Wait, you heard all of that?

[Trey]

I did, yeah. And listen, like, I appreciate. Like, if you just be honest, I'm not gonna My feelings never hurt knowing information.

[Julie]

I think I just. It's not that I didn't want to. I think under all different types of circumstances, you're definitely someone that I would consider. It's just. I don't know. I feel like you deserve to be with someone who's on your level of openness and uncomplicatedness. And, like, that's just not me right now.

[Trey]

Well, I understand. Sometimes things get complicated, then they get uncomplicated. Life is messy. I get it.

[Brooke]

What a guy.

[Trey]

If there's any chance that you might be interested, I'd love to go out again and show you. Really? That maybe I'm better than the other situation.

[Brooke]

Maybe you are, Trey. There's no way that you're not.

[Julie]

That's what I mean. Like, you're such a sweet guy. Like, just that response, and there's just something else, and it's. It just makes it really difficult. That's all.

[Jeffrey]

Something else other than the.

[Trey]

I mean, lay it on me. I don't mind. I like being open and honest, and I like you. So I'm sure we all have our flaws.

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Julie]

So my situationship is actually long distance because he is locked up.

[Jeffrey]

He's locked up. Oh, locked up, girl.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

How does this get worse?

[Jeffrey]

Ooh, she likes the bad boys. Actually, he does sound kind of sexy now that she's describing him.

[Julie]

Not for anything, like, super. Like, a murder or anything like. No, I would never.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's your lie.

[Jeffrey]

It's good to have a bar.

[Trey]

I guess I'm a little confused. I mean, how does this situationship happen while someone's in prison?

[Julie]

Well, I mean, to be fair, we had met, like, the week before he got locked up, and we kind of hit it off, and we kept talking, but I get to go visit him every three months.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Julie]

And we get to have, like, those visits that we get to be intimate, you know?

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

We don't need all those details. You kept talking to a guy, and you only knew him a week before he went to prison?

[Julie]

Well, we kept talking, and it just developed over time. And then the three months that he was in there that I got to go, then see him, and we kind of feel the deal physically. And I can't, unfortunately, I feel like I can't emotionally untangle myself from it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. I mean, it sounds like a real Romeo and Juliet sort of situation there. They knew each other for one night, and look what happened in that story. We're, like, 12 and 14, right?

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Turned out great.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Trey, this is a Lot of information coming at you. Now. Where's your head at?

[Trey]

I wasn't expecting that. Honestly. I mean, I really enjoyed our time together. I think it'd be crazy not to at least maybe try to hang out again, because again, I think I'm not gonna say can. I know I will.

[Jeffrey]

There it is.

[Trey]

Be a better fit for you. Yeah.

[Brooke]

What a bold statement.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so despite what Julie is telling you, you're willing to give her another chance.

[Brooke]

I mean, think about it, Julie. How long is this other guy locked up for?

[Julie]

Three more years.

[Brooke]

Same. Do not waste all your pretty on that. It's a long situation. I'm serious, Trey.

[Jeffrey]

Are you willing to fight this guy after three years when he's released and prove that you're the one for Julie?

[Trey]

If I can see a mug shot before so I can better assess it.

[Brooke]

See emotional intelligence. That's smart thinking.

[Jeffrey]

Look at this, Julie. This man is willing to literally fight a criminal for you.

[Brooke]

Depending on the T. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So with all of that said and everything you've just heard, would you be willing to meet up with Trey one more time? And if you are, we would pay for that date.

[Brooke]

Do yourself a favor, Julian. Say yes.

[Julie]

I mean, if he's okay knowing all of this and that this is still happening in the background, why figure this out?

[Trey]

Yeah, I mean, you won't even be thinking about jail guy. Okay? We're not even. We won't even think about chocolate bars. That's how much.

[Jeffrey]

Jail cells. I get it. Okay?

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Well, that means Trey, Congratulations, man. You got another second date.

[Bowen Yang]

Yay.

[Trey]

You guys are the best.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, this time with a woman who's in a situationship with a different man who's serving a prison sentence for three more years. But still pretty good. It wasn't murder.

[Trey]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

If Trey fully realizes what he's saying yes to here, because I know that he's a positive guy, but he just agreed to go out with a woman who is actively hooking up with a guy in prison every three months and says she's not quite ready to stop.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And Trey was like, you know what? It's fine. Let her have her conjugals. I'm up for it. Cheered it on the whole way because.

[Brooke]

I want her to come out of it. Like, I'm sorry, but every female has a friend just like this woman, despite all proper logic, will choose the worst possible choice for herself, even though she deserves more.

[Jeffrey]

Well, but she could change him, Brooke. And that's the happily ever after every woman wants.

[Brooke]

I don't even think she wants that. I think she just wants him to like her. Yeah, I mean, honestly, I think that's all she wants.

[Jeffrey]

She'll take him, felonies and all. Yes, but you know, bless Trey's heart for being willing to like, give it a shot and try to win her over for the next three years. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Hey, good luck. And we better get an update. I hope so.

[Jeffrey]

If she actually goes out or just.

[Brooke]

A letter from prison from whoever she's dating. That works for us too. We have a lot of prison listeners.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I need to think about that. What if he hears this while listening to our show behind bars?

[Brooke]

Well, I mean, it's a situationship he's got to know, right? They only knew each other a week before that guy got in.

[Jeffrey]

Oh my God, I'm nervous. But I do hope we hear from Trey again.
