Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Recap: Laura and Troy’s Mountain Mishap

[03:47]–[18:21]

• The Meet-Cute Goes Awry:

  • Laura (self-described as having “high-end taste”) connected with Troy, attracted to his active lifestyle—and his body ([06:00], Laura: “It was just, like, the activity stuff and, you know, his body. And his body.”).
  • The two planned a hike largely because Laura eyed a perfect selfie spot ([06:31], Laura: “Of course. Because what girl doesn’t want to look like a professional hiker standing on a rock?”).

• Disaster Strikes:

  • On the hike down, Troy slipped and sprained his ankle badly enough he couldn't walk ([07:11], Laura).
  • Laura tried to call for help, initially without cell service, before emergency services managed to rescue Troy ([07:53], Laura: “Eventually, medics showed up and came and helped.”).

• Did Laura Handle the Emergency Well?

  • Troy recounts Laura’s questionable decisions: she tried to call an Uber up the mountain ([13:51], Troy: “She said she’s gonna walk down the trail... She came back... all excited. I was like... did you find somebody... She said, no, no, no, I called an Uber.”), and attempted to make him a “preventative” tourniquet with found sticks ([14:28], Troy: “She figured out how to make, like, a homemade tourniquet... I didn’t need a tourniquet. I had a sprained ankle, all right?”).
  • Laura sheepishly admits she brought smoothies instead of water for their hike and even drank both hers and Troy’s ([16:02], Laura: “I was in charge of bringing water... and I... got smoothies instead... I wound up drinking Troy’s smoothie...”).

• Why Troy Ghosted:

  • His retelling makes clear he was less offended by the accident and more by Laura’s lack of outdoors savvy and first aid improvisations ([15:21], Troy: “Yeah, no, her best was just shockingly bad, that’s all.”).
  • The hosts challenge Troy to look past the chaos and acknowledge Laura’s effort and energy—which he admits was “cute” despite the ordeal ([17:07], Jeffrey: “But she’s cute. She’s cute. She’s got good energy. Come on.”).

• Reconciliation:

  • With the hosts’ encouragement—and the offer to pay for a second date—Troy warms to Laura again, provided their next outing is somewhere indoors ([17:52], Troy: “If we can keep it inside. I did have a good time with you in the moments where I wasn’t dying. So, yeah, let’s give it another shot.”).
  • Laura responds playfully, hinting her first-aid kit will come along regardless ([18:12], Laura: “And I’ll bring my tourniquet.”).

2. The Second Update: Months Later—Are They Still Together?

[20:18]–[22:44]

• Checking In:

  • Both Laura and Troy join the show to share an update; all body parts, they assure us, are intact ([20:32], Jeffrey: “No one’s broken, right? Everybody’s bodies are working the way they should.”; [20:40], Troy: “Well, yeah, everything’s functional. We’re all good.”).

• Relationship Progress:

  • Following the infamous hike, they decided to “stay indoors” for several of their next dates—hinting at a cautious but playful approach to further adventures ([20:48], Laura: “For the next couple of days we would stay indoors. And we did.”).
  • Eventually, Laura enticed Troy outside again, finding another picturesque spot for selfies ([21:07], Laura: “I eventually enticed him to go back outside.”).

• Their Unlucky Sequel:

  • This time, no medical assistance was needed, but something else went wrong: their car was broken into at the trailhead ([21:38], Troy: “Well, we got back from the hike, and somebody broke into our car.”).
  • Fortunately, nothing was stolen as Laura had her purse and selfie stick with her ([21:57], Laura).

• Newfound Preparedness:

  • The experience inspired them to take an EMT/CPR class together (“[22:10], Troy: “Yeah, everything is going pretty good. But we signed up for an EMT CPR class together.”).
  • The hosts jest that next up will be a “how to take a good selfie” course ([22:20], Jeffrey; [22:26], Troy: “Yeah, that’s definitely next.”).

Closing Summary

The episode is a feel-good journey from disaster date to unlikely couple. After an accident-filled hike and a mountain of misunderstandings, Laura and Troy prove that mishaps—when met with humor—can spark lasting connections. Their story has expanded from “whoops” to “let’s do better next time,” culminating in real steps to be more prepared (first-aid class!) and, more importantly, to laugh together. The Second Date Update, true to form, celebrates the messiness of modern dating and the small victories and LOLs along the way.

Betrayal Weekly is back for season two with brand new stories. The detective comes driving up fast and just like screeches right in the parking lot.

[Brooke]

I swear I'm not crazy, but I.

[Laura]

Think he poisoned me.

[Jeffrey]

I feel trapped. My breathing changes. I realize, wow, like, he is not a mentor, he's pretty much a monster. But these aren't just stories of destruction. They're stories of survival.

[Laura]

I'm gonna tell my story and I'M gonna hold my head up.

[Jeffrey]

Listen to Betrayal Weekly on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah. I don't wanna say we're shocked when people stay together after they do a second date update with us, but it is always a little surprising.

[Brooke]

That's the point.

[Laura]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, it's Brick and Jeffrey and this is your second date podcast. Today we have an update update that means we will play you. So everybody's on the same page and then we're gonna have the couple back on the phone to hear what's happened since they were on the show.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you gotta stay through it all to hear it. And I'm sure there'll be at least one complaint in this that says this is a rerun. Yeah, yeah. Just wait till the end. Okay. And wait until after the ad. You're gonna hear a little ad right before.

[Brooke]

Yes, that too.

[Jeffrey]

We're preparing you for everything. You know what's ahead. It's brand new. What are some comments? Dan said, I hate my buddy for introducing me to the show and I hate myself for continuing to listen to it. Self loathing. We love that here. We do, really. Welcome to the show, Dan. Whether you like it or not, you're stuck with us. Yep. Your update update starts right now.

[Alexis]

Sometimes in the dating world, hearts can be broken. Other times, you're breaking literal bones and ligaments.

[Jeffrey]

I hope not.

[Brooke]

The heck.

[Alexis]

And that is a pretty close description of what happened when two of our listeners decided to go on a hike for their first meetup.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Alexis]

It was a disaster date that turned into one of our most memorable calls of the year. And despite the events that unfolded that fateful day, the couples reached out saying they need to come back on the show for a special second date update update. You're going to hear it coming up right after this second date update. She's back.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, who's back?

[Alexis]

Return callers of the second date update.

[Jeffrey]

That's fun.

[Alexis]

Laura, you may remember her. She was the avid gym goer who roasted her date when she found out he tried to use a coupon at Nobu. Oh, yeah, because he claimed he didn't know that sushi could be that expensive.

[Jeffrey]

Wow. You came back, Laura.

[Alexis]

The thing about Laura, she's got high end taste and I'm guessing that she is totally worth it. But, you know, those types of ladies can be a little bit hard to please. And now there's another guy who's ghosting her. Probably because he's so intimidated by you, Laura. That's what I would guess. But welcome back to our show. It's nice to have you on.

[Laura]

Thank you.

[Alexis]

So apparently this is a new guy that you want us to call today, right? What's his name?

[Laura]

His name's Troy.

[Jeffrey]

Troy.

[Alexis]

Troy.

[Jeffrey]

With a big sigh. What's going on with Troy?

[Laura]

Okay, so I met this guy Troy. I was kind of like, on the down low for a little while and I was like, all right, I'm going to try this again.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. So, you know, took some time off of dating after having to recover from your experience with us.

[Laura]

From the Nobu coupon guy. Yeah.

[Alexis]

Good for you for deciding to get back out there.

[Jeffrey]

You meet Troy online on an app.

[Laura]

Yeah. And I like this profile because it shows him being, like, super active. He's, like, into swimming and other activities, hiking and things like that, and that's really important for me.

[Alexis]

He's like a big fan of a hundred dollar bills in his hand. Just, like, lofting himself with it.

[Laura]

No, it was just, like the activity stuff and, you know, his body. And his body.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. That was the only thing that Alexis just perked up to. Yeah, you're right. I should have thought about the swimming photo.

[Brooke]

Obviously, there's the body. Okay.

[Laura]

Oh, yeah.

[Alexis]

Hot body. Active Troy.

[Brooke]

Only thing that matters is.

[Jeffrey]

All right, so did you initiate conversation with him?

[Laura]

It was like a mutual thing, and we just kind of had good conversation and talked about working out.

[Brooke]

Nice.

[Laura]

So I found this thing online and it was the most incredible view and the perfect selfie spot.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Okay. So you're picking your hiking based on the quality of picture you're going to get?

[Laura]

Of course. Because what girl doesn't want to look like a professional hiker standing on a rock?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, right. Okay. But hiking's a fun activity. He's an active guy. Is that what you propose?

[Alexis]

No, no, no, no, no. It's about the Instagram photo, girl, not the hike.

[Laura]

So he was super down, and we had a really nice hike and the pictures came out amazing.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so that's cute. You got cute pictures. Did you take pictures together?

[Laura]

Yeah, we did some selfies and then we took pics of each other and we got some really good shots.

[Jeffrey]

Cool.

[Brooke]

Nice.

[Jeffrey]

That sounds good. It sounds like you're pulled into it.

[Brooke]

So how did it end then?

[Laura]

Okay, so this is the fun part. On the way down, Troy slips, falls down and sprains his ankle.

[Alexis]

Probably saw, like, a cool chipmunk and he, like, didn't know where to step.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sure that's it. That's Terrible.

[Laura]

So basically, he can't walk down the mountain. So I didn't know what to do. I kind of had a little meltdown, and I was like, all right, let me see if my phone actually has service and I can call somebody to get help.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Were you able to reach someone you're.

[Jeffrey]

Going to call in park rangers or what?

[Laura]

I tried reaching out to a lot of people, like friends, emergency services. I mean, basically anyone who could, like, help get him down the mountain.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Did someone come help?

[Laura]

Eventually, medics showed up and came and helped.

[Jeffrey]

Whoa.

[Alexis]

Wow.

[Laura]

But the good news is on that avenue that it wasn't, like, the perfect end to a perfect date, but at least we got to, like, sit and chat, and we had a ton of really intimate talk times while he's wincing in pain.

[Brooke]

No, we always say this, but this is another cute story where if things work out for you, it's kind of like, yeah, you sprained his ankle our first date.

[Laura]

Right.

[Alexis]

Right. And would you take more pictures of each other while he was sitting down on the ground? What else are you gonna do?

[Brooke]

Good lighting of the ankle.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, it's kind of wild that he hasn't. I'm assuming he hasn't at all.

[Laura]

Yeah, that's why I called because, like, he was talking a ton and now he's not talking at all. And I don't understand. And, like, if it's because he got hurt, that's really kind of dumb.

[Brooke]

He's not embarrassed because, like, getting hurt is an accident.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know. He could be like, if he's a.

[Brooke]

Big buff dude, you think he's like, oh, no, I slip on a rock.

[Alexis]

I mean, this is a little bit unlike our typical dates that we talk about on the show, where it's, like, really quick. You like coffee, chat, and then you're gone. This is the two of them sitting on a mountain together for an hour with nothing to do but talk.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's true.

[Alexis]

And take pictures of each other. Was there any. Anything in the conversation that happened there that might be a little bit of a red flag for him?

[Laura]

I don't think so. I mean, we were talking about all different topics. Like, a lot of gym talk. You know, just experience in the gym and what kind of different activities we like and a little bit about family stuff. And, I mean, we weren't talking about, like, getting married and having kids, if that's what you mean.

[Alexis]

Oh, why not?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So you sprained your ankle. How many kids do you want to have?

[Alexis]

Well, okay, this is going to be an interesting one. We're going to call Troy for you and first, I mean, see if he answers the phone.

[Jeffrey]

Well, just see if he needs his little boo boos kissed. Yeah, maybe that's where she comes in.

[Brooke]

Uh oh, Brooke's gonna roast him.

[Manny]

Watch.

[Jeffrey]

Thank you, Alexis.

[Laura]

Maybe.

[Alexis]

Hopefully his phone is within reaching distance and we're gonna find out when we reach out right after this second date update.

[Jeffrey]

You're in the middle of a second date update update. And we're gonna find out how the couple is doing right after you hear part two.

[Alexis]

If you're just joining us, we're in the middle of a tense heart pumping ankle throbb update with Laura. Heart pumping cuz she went on a romantic mountain hike with a guy named Troy. Ankle throbbing cuz Troy fell and sprained his ankle on the walk down the hill.

[Jeffrey]

Poor Troy.

[Alexis]

It was so bad he couldn't make it down on his own. So Laura had to call out for help until medics could arrive. Stayed with him the whole time, kept him calm, gave him mouth to mouth. And after all of that, after saving his life and snatching him from the jaws of death, Troy has the gall to ghost her.

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe she had bad breath during that mouth to mouth session.

[Alexis]

I don't care.

[Brooke]

I'm just gonna say it.

[Alexis]

Troy is a giant bee.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, oh, what's that bee sound?

[Alexis]

Big baby.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Alexis]

And I am dying to hear what he has to say.

[Jeffrey]

Don't you die too, Jeff.

[Alexis]

What if any cute woodland animals he saw and has to report on the trail path. Laura, are you with me?

[Laura]

I don't think he's like a big baby. He got hurt. Come on.

[Alexis]

Oh gosh. So forgiving.

[Jeffrey]

Has anyone thought maybe he's upset that you talked all this big talk about the gym, but then we're too weak to piggyback him all the way back to the car.

[Brooke]

Oh come on, he's not gonna expect that. Yeah, or drag him down.

[Laura]

I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

I would have done it. My dad says I'm good German working stock. I'm built to carry heavy things. Relate to that.

[Alexis]

Why do you have to work that into every single second date update that we do?

[Jeffrey]

I will give the idea after this.

[Alexis]

We're not even going to bring that up to Troy if he answers the phone because we don't want to get too excited about it. But let's see if he picks up. We're going to dial his number right now. Here we go.

[Laura]

Thanks you guys.

[Troy]

Hello?

[Alexis]

Hey, is this Troy?

[Troy]

It is oh, Troy.

[Jeffrey]

Whoa, Jeff, you be nice. Hi, Troy.

[Troy]

Hello.

[Brooke]

Sorry, it's confusing.

[Alexis]

I'm just kidding, man. We're. We're doing something on our show. We hope you'll stick around and be a part of it. It's called Second Date Update.

[Troy]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Have you heard of that before?

[Troy]

No. No, I haven't.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Alexis]

It's where we help out our listeners who have gone out on a date with somebody and a second meetup hasn't happened yet. We try and help facilitate it or figure out why the other person doesn't want to.

[Troy]

Okay.

[Alexis]

And that seems to be the situation, at least according to one of our listeners named Laura you met the other day.

[Troy]

She reached out to you.

[Jeffrey]

Yes. She's, like, worried, dude. It sounds like you had a crazy hike where you got injured. We heard all about it.

[Troy]

Yeah, she's been texting me a whole bunch. I don't. I don't know if I'm feeling it, to be honest with you. That's kind of why I didn't reach back out to her.

[Brooke]

She can sense that.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

That's what she wants to know. Why?

[Alexis]

That's the confusing part to her, because she essentially saved you from the brink of death.

[Jeffrey]

She did not say that, Jeff. Exaggerated.

[Alexis]

I mean, I'm not saying that the thought crossed your mind to leave you on that mountain to fend for yourself, but she did do a lot to help.

[Jeffrey]

She did. After you sprained your ankle.

[Troy]

I think you guys have the story wrong, if that's what you guys really think happened.

[Brooke]

Okay, what do we have wrong?

[Jeffrey]

I mean, what did exaggerate?

[Alexis]

Well, sorry, you know, I'm just kidding.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

I'm just frustrated because we're. We're friends of Laura's and we really just want to help her out. So if you could maybe explain your side of it.

[Troy]

Well, I don't know what she told you exactly, but my ankle was banged up. I mean, you guys are laughing about it, but it was pretty bad. Like, it was swollen immediately.

[Brooke]

I couldn't walk on it.

[Jeffrey]

She said that she felt really bad for you. I know we're laughing, but that's just because that's what we do, obviously.

[Brooke]

You could have walked. You couldn't even hobble, bro.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, really bad. I mean, that's why she called everybody she knew. Got emergency services up there.

[Troy]

Yeah, kind of. She didn't have service or whatever, and neither did I, so she said she's gonna walk down the trail a little bit until she gets service. She disappeared for at least a half an hour. She came back, she was all excited, and I was like, okay, good. Did you find somebody on the trail? She said, no, no, no. I called an Uber.

[Jeffrey]

You don't need a car, someone to carry you down?

[Alexis]

So It's a joke.

[Troy]

100%. That's what I said to her. And she basically was like, oh, I didn't think about that. Like, yeah, they can't drive up the mountain to just come pick me up in the car. That's not how this works.

[Jeffrey]

Well, come on, give her. Give her the benefit. You know, some people don't think well in emergency situations.

[Troy]

Yeah, we were talking about it, and basically I was trying to advise her. Look, call EMTs, call emergency services. So she did do that, which is nice. And while we were sitting there waiting, she said that she figured out how to make, like, a homemade tourniquet for my leg.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Troy]

She wanted to get some sticks and branches and wrap up my leg or something like that. Yeah, it was like being stuck out there with Nurse Ratchet in the mountains.

[Alexis]

Wait, like, she didn't do a good job?

[Troy]

Yeah, I didn't need a tourniquet. I had a sprained ankle, all right? I wasn't losing any blood or anything like that.

[Alexis]

Sure. But it couldn't hurt to have a tourniquet.

[Jeffrey]

It actually could hurt a lot. It cuts off your circulation.

[Alexis]

It was preventative. A preventative tourniquet just in case something got worse.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, at the end of the day, she's trying. She's not a medical expert. Expert. She's doing her best. You can't even give her that.

[Troy]

Yeah, no, her best was just shockingly bad, that's all. Maybe.

[Alexis]

Okay, well, I feel like maybe she was panicked, a little freaked out in the moment, just like you were doing whatever she could think of to try and help you out. And you don't have to take that from me. You can listen to Laura right now because she's on the other line waiting to talk to you.

[Troy]

Wait, are you serious? She's been listening the whole time?

[Alexis]

Yeah, that's how the segment works, man. Sorry.

[Laura]

Hey, Troy. Yeah, it's me, Nurse Ratchet.

[Jeffrey]

How you doing?

[Laura]

How you feeling?

[Brooke]

Wow, she's really a nurse.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Probably say sorry now, huh?

[Jeffrey]

She should not apologize.

[Alexis]

No, him. Him. For calling her Nurse Ratchet.

[Troy]

Come on, Laura. You know, it was being. You were in charge of the water. I mean, what was going on with the water? You remember that?

[Jeffrey]

What was she doing with the water?

[Laura]

I'm sorry. I was in charge of bringing water on the hike, and I. I Got a smoothies instead.

[Brooke]

What?

[Alexis]

Well, that's nice.

[Laura]

I. I drank my smoothie and then it was, like, so yummy that I wound up drinking Troy Smoot because I figured there was an easy hike and we'd be down the mountain pretty quickly, and then I could just get water when we got to the bottom. No big deal.

[Troy]

Nurse Ratchet, when she needed the extra.

[Alexis]

Nutrients to go search for help, he was just sitting there on the ground.

[Laura]

I'm not, like, the best outdoorsman or outdoors woman or whatever you call it. I'm not a lumberjack. I'm not a medic. Like, I did what came to mind in the spur of the moment. And also, like, some Ubers do have four wheel drive, so, like, that part's not on me.

[Troy]

This again? The four wheel drive thing again? Come on. No, they don't.

[Brooke]

It's a good.

[Jeffrey]

Troy, does that mean you already brought up that point while you guys are on the mountain?

[Troy]

We talked about it for, like, 10 minutes already when we were on the mountain.

[Alexis]

It's gonna be a hummer. They can get all over, like, every type of terrain, bro.

[Brooke]

This is at least endearing that she's just trying. It's not working. We get it.

[Jeffrey]

But she's cute. She's cute. She's got good energy. Come on.

[Laura]

Thank you, Laura.

[Troy]

I. I will say, if you do go outdoors with any of your friends or family, God help them.

[Jeffrey]

With a hurt ankle.

[Alexis]

That's a really sweet thing to say. He basically blessed her and her entire family whenever they go on adventures together. Troy, I'm feeling some sort of shift in you, like, you're wanting to say yes to another date with Laura. Especially when we offer to pay for it.

[Laura]

I mean, we can, like, go to the city and, like, rent a scooter. I'm pretty sure both of us can fit on it.

[Alexis]

Oh, yeah, Maybe make a, like, reservation at the ER ahead of time, before the date happens.

[Jeffrey]

Is that how the works now?

[Alexis]

Just in case, you know, get your reservation in early?

[Troy]

Look, I don't want to be Mr. Pessimistic, so if we can keep it inside. I did have a good time with you in the moments where I wasn't dying. So, yeah, let's give it another shot. That sounds fun.

[Jeffrey]

That's kind of cute.

[Alexis]

Troy. You're going on a date with Nurse Ratchet. Good for you.

[Troy]

I hope not. Oh, my God, I hope.

[Laura]

And I'll bring my tourniquet.

[Jeffrey]

Well.

[Alexis]

Oh, wow.

[Jeffrey]

He's not bleeding.

[Alexis]

I think it's kind of a freaky thing that she's into you guys. Have fun. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Alexis]

December 29, 1975. LaGuardia Airport.

[Narrator]

The holiday rush. Parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then at 6:33pm, everything changed.

[Brooke]

There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal.

[Troy]

Apparently there's the explosion actually impelled metal glass.

[Brooke]

The injured were being loaded into ambulances. Just a chaotic, chaotic scene.

[Narrator]

In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged. And it was here to stay. Terrorism, law and criminal justice system is back. In season two, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight that's harder to predict and even harder to stop. Listen to the new season of law and criminal justice System on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dakota]

My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious.

[Brooke]

Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit.

[Dakota]

Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the ok Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.

[Alexis]

Now, hold up.

[Brooke]

Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate.

[Dakota]

Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor. And they're the same age.

[Brooke]

Tends even more likely that they're cheating.

[Dakota]

He insists there's nothing between them.

[Alexis]

I mean, do you believe him?

[Dakota]

Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet.

[Brooke]

So do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not?

[Dakota]

Not to hear the explosive finale, listen to the okay Storytime podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Alexis]

Well, that second date update happened months ago. Yes, and now Troy and Laura are back to give us an update on their situation.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I can't wait.

[Brooke]

First.

[Alexis]

Hey, fancy meeting you two here. Welcome back to the show.

[Troy]

Hi.

[Laura]

Thank you. So good to be back.

[Jeffrey]

No one's broken, right? Everybody's bodies are working the way they should.

[Brooke]

That's a normal question.

[Troy]

Well, yeah, everything's functional. We're all good.

[Brooke]

Ok, good.

[Alexis]

That's good to hear. So what's new in your relationship? What's happened since we last spoke to you?

[Laura]

So, as you remember, we had a little trouble on the mountain last time. But we decided for the next couple of days that we would stay indoors. And we did.

[Brooke]

Good.

[Jeffrey]

So I like that he gave up on his interests of the outdoors and just went inside for you.

[Brooke]

Yeah. There's indoor climbing now.

[Alexis]

He lives in a bubble. That's so sweet.

[Laura]

I eventually enticed him to go back outside.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you did? That's what I want to know. How did that go?

[Laura]

Well, I did, in fact, find another fantastic selfie spot.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I was worried. That's what I've been stressed about.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

So I'm hoping. I mean, we're all hoping that nothing bad happened on that date that required medical attention, right?

[Troy]

No, everything went good. Good news. We definitely didn't need to call the mps. Unfortunately, we did have to call the cops by the end of the evening.

[Alexis]

Wait, what?

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Why?

[Alexis]

Why?

[Troy]

Well, we got back from the hike, and somebody broke into our car.

[Jeffrey]

I hate that that's the words. It happens all the time. Does it? Yeah, the trail heads. You can't leave anything in your car.

[Alexis]

Or Brooke will open your car and take it. Was anything taken from your car?

[Laura]

Well, no. Luckily, nothing was stolen. I mean, I had my little purse with me and my selfie stick, so everything was good there.

[Alexis]

Take all the values.

[Jeffrey]

Good.

[Alexis]

Okay, so you two sound like you're in a pretty good place.

[Troy]

Yeah, everything is going pretty good. But we signed up for a EMT CPR class together.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's a great idea.

[Jeffrey]

Smart. I thought for sure she was gonna enroll you in how to take a good selfie class.

[Alexis]

That's probably next, right?

[Troy]

Yeah, that's definitely next.

[Alexis]

Okay, well, awesome to hear that you two are still together and having a good time and planning for the future dates not to get in too much trouble.

[Jeffrey]

Planning for the future dates and future accidents. Ye are going to be prepared either way.

[Alexis]

Definitely. Keep us updated, stay in touch, and appreciate you guys reaching out.

[Laura]

Thank you.

[Troy]

Will do. Thank you, guys.

Betrayal Weekly is back for season two with brand new stories. The detective comes driving up fast and just, like, screeches right in the parking lot.

[Brooke]

I swear I'm not crazy, but I.

[Laura]

Think he poisoned me.

[Jeffrey]

I feel trapped. My breathing changes. I realize, wow, like, he is not a mentor. He's pretty much a monster. But these aren't just stories of destruction. They're stories of survival.

[Laura]

I'm gonna tell my story, and I'm gonna hold my head up.
