Episode Overview

This episode presents a follow-up ("Update Update") to a memorable Second Date Update call involving Paul and Kelly. After a gym-themed first date and some unexpected honesty with personal phones, Paul was ghosted by Kelly. The team seeks out Kelly to discover the real reason and, in the process, uncover the most eccentric and oddly endearing "dealbreaker" yet. The episode revisits the story, delivers behind-the-scenes commentary, and updates listeners on Paul and Kelly’s relationship today.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Phone Etiquette as a Dating Litmus Test

• [05:55] The show opens with the hosts debating “phone up” vs. “phone face down” on dates.
  • Alexis: "I put it in my purse. Usually, I don't have it out."
  • Brooke: Highlights the perception that phone face down could mean hiding something.

2. How Paul and Kelly Met and Their Gym Date

• [07:01] Paul and Kelly know each other from the gym—she usually tells men she has a boyfriend but makes an exception for Paul.
• Both have tight schedules, so their first "date" is at the gym, followed by a healthy dinner at Paul's place (Alexis and Jose are skeptical but amused).

3. The Phone Passcode Moment

• [08:14] Paul, while doing dishes, asks Kelly to check and respond to a text on his phone—he gives her his passcode.
  • Paul: “I don’t have anything to hide. I gave her my passcode. I don’t care.”
  • The cohosts debate whether this is a “green flag” or just weirdly trusting.

4. Post-Date Vibes and Paul's Concern

• [10:42] No kiss, just a hug. Since then, Kelly’s gone cold (“energy shift”) and Paul doesn’t know why.
  • Brooke: “It’s weird because you were so open with her.”

5. Kelly Reveals the Real Issue

• [15:06-17:04] Kelly confesses: she snooped through Paul’s phone, specifically his Notes app, and found…
  • Kelly: “There’s a bunch of drafts in there, and they’re a bunch of, like, over the top, aggressive, negative Yelp reviews… for public restrooms.”
    • Example: “The hinges on the door were, like, loose, and the latch was hanging on for dear life like it was a marriage on its last leg…” ([16:32])
  • The hosts are initially shocked, then amused by Paul's oddly specific bathroom critiques.

6. Debate: Is This Behavior Charming or a Red Flag?

• [17:04-18:22] The hosts alternate between defending Paul’s quirky hobby (shoutout to clean bathrooms everywhere) and ribbing Kelly for looking through his private notes.
  • Alexis: “Think of how creative those reviews were. You’ve got a man who’s good with words!”
  • Brooke: “Brooke has never stood up for a man like she has public bathroom Yelp review…” ([18:22])

7. Resolution: Bathroom Reviews, Trust, and a Second Chance

• [19:20] Paul’s bathroom at home was, per Kelly, “sparkling clean,” though she notes the toilet paper was dispensed "under," which irks her.
• Kelly admits to self-sabotaging and agrees to a second date as long as “the place has a solid bathroom rating from [Paul].”
• Paul: “I’d love to go out with Kelly again.”

8. Update Update: Are They Still Together?

• [21:57] Both join for a live update, confirming they're giving the relationship a real shot.
  • Paul is trying to be “less aggressive” in his negative public restroom reviews, but “it still happens, especially around urinals.” ([22:24])
  • Brooke: “We’re happy to hear, Kelly and Paul, that you’re still together and reforming each other and doing well.” ([22:44])

[Alexis]

Hey, welcome to your second date podcast. Thank you so much for being here. And today we get a little special update. Update. That's where we have one of our couples from a previous second date call in and tell us what's happened since they were on the show. Now, if you're new to these or you just need a reminder, we do play the original second date, so everybody's up to speed when we get the couple back on. Yes. Because we don't want to go and explain everything. No, no.

[Jose]

Yeah, you can hear the original and then listen to the update right after.

[Alexis]

Yep. And then right after there'll be a little commercial break. Sorry, just fast forward.

[Jose]

Yes.

[Alexis]

Unless you're my boss is listening. Then totally listen to the full commercial break and then you'll hear the couple back on after. That's exciting. Yeah. But we must discuss yesterday's second got to because Aura was back. Unfortunately, we did not know we would be calling Aura. I feel like we need to save number so it comes up when people give us her number or block the number.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe we can do that.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

You know, she's never been the most liked person we have on the show.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know that she helped herself.

[Alexis]

We got a lot of.

[Jeffrey]

She has two brain cells and they're fighting with each other. I knew her name was familiar. She mean he can do better.

[Alexis]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Or we'll meet her love one day. Not. She'll be 60 years old and talk about how all the men are the same and nobody treats her good.

[Alexis]

Oh, goodness.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, this one. She's insufferable. I listen to this podcast to chill at work, but instead, I'm pissed off now.

[Alexis]

Sorry about. Yeah, I mean, there's somebody for everybody. Even for Aura.

[Jose]

Sure.

[Alexis]

Yeah. Right.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, one person did comment. She's 100. Correct.

[Alexis]

Oh, hey, there you go.

[Jose]

She's not joking to everyone.

[Alexis]

Our podcast found the one person, which is awesome.

[Jose]

Oh, wait, that was from Aura.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we gotta walk around there too.

[Alexis]

Hey, thanks for being here. We're gonna start your Update, Update. Right now.

[Brooke]

Out of all the second day calls we've ever made over the years, and we've done literally thousands of them. Yes, I can say honestly, Brooke has never been more passionate than she was during this particular call. And it all happened cause she shared one common interest with the dude on the phone. And if Brooke is into it, yeah, you know it's gonna be weird. But here's the good news. Her fire, her excitement has led us now to this moment where we're getting a special update update from the person who shares her same weird passion. You'll hear all of it and more coming up in your second date update update right after this second date update. Alexis, when you go out on a date, here's an important question. Do you do phone up or phone face down on the table?

[Jeffrey]

I put in my purse. Usually I don't have it out.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow. Even trust the guy to be near your phone.

[Alexis]

Do your hands start to shake?

[Jeffrey]

I got one hand in my purse under the table. I gotta touch it so I feel it vibrate.

[Alexis]

You know, I just saw her with like a twitch at the table the whole time and she couldn't see it.

[Brooke]

Well, I bring it up cuz some people think phone face down means you're hiding something that you don't want them to see.

[Jose]

Look at us right now.

[Jeffrey]

You just put on do not disturb.

[Alexis]

If you don't want text to show up. Yeah, I think that it's polite to put it face down.

[Brooke]

Well, phone up would be more like you're kind of an open book, an open phone.

[Alexis]

I think it's. You're boring and I would rather look at my phone.

[Brooke]

Okay. The whole reason that I bring it up is because one guy's cell is at the center of something that could have possibly gone wrong that night. He's not really sure. So let's welcome Paul to the show. Paul, how you doing, man?

[Paul]

I'm okay, how are you guys?

[Alexis]

We know where the phone is right now. Paul.

[Jose]

Wait, where is it?

[Alexis]

Up to his.

[Jose]

Yeah, I was like, wait a minute.

[Brooke]

Or is it okay, Paul, don't worry about the phone.

[Alexis]

Just.

[Brooke]

Let's talk about the girl that met.

[Paul]

What's her name went on with this girl Kelly.

[Brooke]

Okay, where did you meet Kelly?

[Paul]

So, yeah, we've known each other at the gym and she says, normally I tell guys I have a boyfriend, but I'm not going to tell you that. So I was like, cool.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow.

[Alexis]

Okay. That's a good line on her part too because it's like I'm very wanted. I have to turn men down all the time.

[Brooke]

I'm going to make an exception for you. So what did you guys do?

[Paul]

So both our schedules are really busy. It was hard to find time to hang out, so we actually settled on a gym date.

[Brooke]

Wait.

[Alexis]

Huh? Wait a minute.

[Jose]

Like, let's just meet back here same time tomorrow?

[Alexis]

Like, whose idea was that?

[Paul]

We just kind of both agreed because we couldn't find any other time.

[Alexis]

You know, you guys really can't skip one hour at the gym to go get one drink.

[Jose]

And they're gym rats, but together, well.

[Paul]

That was just part of the date. So she did come back to my place and we cooked kind of like a healthy meal.

[Alexis]

Oh, okay. That's cute.

[Jose]

That would be fun too, if you're health conscious.

[Brooke]

So how was dinner?

[Paul]

It was good. Kind of funny situation happened where I was in the other room doing the dishes and I heard my phone beep. Like a text came through.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Paul]

And I left it in there with her. And I was like, hey, can you see who texted and what they said?

[Brooke]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Alexis]

Why would you do such a thing, sir?

[Brooke]

Extremely trusting.

[Alexis]

Oh my God, my girl. I know, but here's the thing. Like, if I was on a date, my phone would be inundated with text messages from my friends.

[Paul]

How's it going?

[Jose]

How ugly is he?

[Brooke]

I thought it was gonna be like, all the naked photos that you've taken.

[Alexis]

But no, I sent those already to whoever I was eyeing you.

[Brooke]

And I have very different concerns. When it's looking at your phones naked.

[Alexis]

Is never an issue for me.

[Brooke]

Gotcha. So you said, hey, take a look at my phone and tell me who texted and what they said.

[Paul]

Yeah, she was kind of surprised. She was like, what? But I don't have anything to hide. I gave her my passcode. I don't care.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Jumping right in.

[Jose]

Ye.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Paul]

So she tells me it was one of my friends who wanted to know if I'm meeting up tonight. And I asked her to respond to him. Tell him I'm on a date with a pre girl cooking dinner.

[Brooke]

Okay, That's a good line.

[Jose]

Is this a green flag?

[Brooke]

Like, ladies, I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

Now I'm starting to think you're trying too hard though. That it's like, I see, I can see that.

[Brooke]

Like it was a setup.

[Jeffrey]

Like, yeah, you had your friend text.

[Jose]

On purpose and he's on, hey, at 5:30 text me. And I'm gonna.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but guys aren't that organized, so I doubt it. But I mean.

[Alexis]

And who Cares.

[Jeffrey]

Eugene, he just called you pretty.

[Alexis]

Like, I mean.

[Brooke]

Can you. Can you tell us, Was that set up?

[Paul]

No, absolutely not.

[Alexis]

Okay, that was good.

[Jose]

Just got it like that.

[Brooke]

Very smooth.

[Alexis]

I mean, could you tell she was flattered?

[Paul]

Yeah, sure. Girls like being called pretty, right?

[Jose]

I mean, and the trust, like, you know, again, could be too trusting, but it's at least not the opposite where it's like, don't look at my phone. Give that back.

[Jeffrey]

Or it's like, really, you have nothing to hide.

[Jose]

You're not cheating on anyone.

[Brooke]

Probably never thought about that, Paul. But what happened afterwards?

[Paul]

Yeah, so I didn't come back in the room for a few minutes, finish the dishes and all that, but.

[Alexis]

And that is hot. Can I just say, as.

[Brooke]

As a married woman, I understand why you would think it's hot, but, Alexis, I don't think.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, I don't care.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Paul]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Oh, man. Will you.

[Jose]

And he's a gym bro. You're imagining him shirtless, doing it.

[Brooke]

All right, Is this a sounding pretty good, I think. Did we miss any details?

[Paul]

No, you know, that's it. I didn't have anything weird or incriminating. I didn't get a bad vibe from her. But you guys are asking if anything weird happened, so that's the only thing that was out of the ordinary.

[Jose]

Did you kiss her?

[Paul]

No kiss, but we hugged and she left like a little while later.

[Alexis]

Okay. Have you seen her at the gym?

[Paul]

Yeah, it's only been a few days, so I haven't seen her, but I'm just kind of getting the vibe that she's not really into hanging out again. I don't know.

[Jose]

Yeah, you can feel that. It's like an energy shift.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Yeah, it's weird because you were so open with her. I don't know.

[Alexis]

Well, and they knew each other pretty. I mean, like, not really well, but, like, enough comfortable, you know, you're gonna.

[Jeffrey]

See each other again.

[Brooke]

It is weird to go back to the place you just had a date with a guy and, like, be by yourself.

[Alexis]

Just being over eager.

[Brooke]

We are. We're just all very eager to hear what she has to say. When we come back and call her, hopefully she picks up and gives us some answers. For your second date update, right after this second date update, you're in the.

[Alexis]

Middle of a second date update update, and we're gonna find out how the couple is doing right after you hear part two.

[Brooke]

Is it possible to be so open and so trusting that it's actually a turn off?

[Jose]

Why does that sound funny?

[Brooke]

I mean, that's what we're wondering after talking to our listener Paul. Cuz he gave his date the password to his cell phone so that she could text a friend for him while he was busy doing dishes. In the other room.

[Jose]

Yeah, in the other room. So he heard his phone go up and was just like, whatever that was, go check it.

[Brooke]

Yeah, and he felt comfortable doing that because he says he's got nothing to hide on there. She can go look through whatever she wants and won't find anything weird.

[Alexis]

Is he sure there's nothing that's weird on your phone?

[Jose]

What do you. Oh, you.

[Alexis]

In his mind, she has the passcode.

[Jose]

You know, so maybe she found something else that wasn't in the text.

[Jeffrey]

Right, if she's not sketchy, but just weird.

[Brooke]

Paul, is there anything that you're not telling us? Do you have a furry app on there that you left open?

[Paul]

No, guys, I'm serious. I don't have anything weird on there. I promise.

[Brooke]

Okay?

[Alexis]

It just sounds like such a nice time, like.

[Jose]

Yeah, and maybe that's the problem. I was so nice.

[Brooke]

That was what Alexis said. It's like too nice. Where it's like, ah, this guy's not even fun anymore.

[Jeffrey]

You, like, reply promptly to your friends too. Like, it can wait 10 minutes. Like, also a quick reply.

[Alexis]

Oh, wait, did he give his friends the ick as well?

[Jose]

Wow, you never respond this quick.

[Jeffrey]

The more we talk about it, the worst it's getting for me.

[Brooke]

Are we giving you a little bit of a complex yet, Paul?

[Paul]

Yeah, maybe. Yeah. I don't know.

[Jose]

Good, I'm getting one.

[Brooke]

Okay, now, hopefully we can find more of your issues when we call Kelly for you and see what she has to say. Hopefully she picks up. Here we go.

[Paul]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Hey, is this Kelly?

[Kelly]

This is.

[Brooke]

Hey, Kelly, you're on the radio right now with a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Alexis]

Hey, Kelly.

[Jose]

Good morning, Kelly.

[Kelly]

Wow.

[Paul]

Hey.

[Alexis]

Wow. You know who we are.

[Kelly]

You've listened to the show for sure. I'm just.

[Jose]

That means like once on TikTok.

[Alexis]

Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, we'll take it.

[Jose]

But hey, we'll take it.

[Alexis]

We appreciate it.

[Brooke]

Yeah, maybe you're familiar with us because of our segment, the Second Date Update. Is that how you know us?

[Kelly]

Yeah, I've definitely heard of. Of that.

[Jose]

It's not because Jose being handsome is so viral.

[Brooke]

Yeah, darn it.

[Alexis]

Last month.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Your algorithm's almost. But, Kelly, we're doing a second aid update right now because of a guy that you went out with recently who's been trying to get a hold of you. Paul from the gym?

[Kelly]

Yeah. I had a feeling that might be what this is about. When you said that.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Paul]

A good way.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Oh, it sounded like such a fun time you and Paul had.

[Kelly]

The date itself was pretty great. Honestly, like, I don't really have complaints about that.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Kelly]

I guess I just did something I really shouldn't have done, and it just. It took me out of it. It ruined it for me.

[Jose]

You gave yourself the ick.

[Brooke]

What did you do? Because we heard that you two did a gym workout, then had dinner back at Paul's place.

[Alexis]

Oh, my God. He did the dishes. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Really excited about that.

[Kelly]

You're not wrong about any of that. Like, that's all 100% true. And, I mean, what a great date to have with somebody who you've known for a while and have been going to the same gym with for a long time. Like, it kind of all was coming together really nicely. Like, almost a little too good to be true.

[Paul]

Like.

[Jose]

What could possibly ruin it then?

[Kelly]

Like, me.

[Alexis]

Me?

[Brooke]

What do you mean?

[Kelly]

Oh, my God. Okay, so basically, he got a text when he was doing the dishes, and I was in the living where his phone was, like, sitting on the charger.

[Paul]

Yeah, we heard that.

[Kelly]

Oh, so you know about the passcode and everything? Yeah.

[Brooke]

Right. And he even asked you to send a message to his friend for him.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Can we guess that maybe you looked at other things on his phone?

[Kelly]

Not initially.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Kelly]

But your girl got a little curious, and I. I went back for seconds. I'm not going to lie.

[Brooke]

I mean, he did give you the passcode to his phone.

[Alexis]

The carrot is dangly right there. You're hungry.

[Brooke]

What did you find?

[Kelly]

Oh, my God. I can't even believe this. Okay, you know the notes app on your phone?

[Alexis]

Oh, you went deep into his phone.

[Commercial Announcer 1]

Those are personal.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

That can be like a journal.

[Jeffrey]

That's right. I need to talk to a therapist about. Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

You opened his notes app. What was in there?

[Alexis]

What was in it?

[Kelly]

So he wrote a bunch of. There's a bunch of drafts in there, and they're a bunch of, like, over the top, aggressive, negative Yelp reviews.

[Brooke]

Yelp reviews?

[Kelly]

Not even, like, it's not even for, like, businesses. It's not for restaurants. You didn't find, like, a hair in his food? No, these are for public restrooms.

[Alexis]

What?

[Jose]

He's a public restroom reviewer.

[Alexis]

Do you think he wrote them or did he, like, copy and paste them from. Oh, like, are they jokes? Because that would be. That sounds like a joke to Me. A review of a public restroom.

[Kelly]

There is zero percent chance like, this came from his soul. He did not write this on a whim. Like, there was one in there about, like, the McDonald's on Fifth Avenue. And he was going off. He was like, the hinges on the door were, like, loose, and the latch was hanging on for dear life like it was a marriage on its last leg. Like, he's just going on and on.

[Brooke]

And it's useful because now I know not to go to that McDonald's.

[Alexis]

So you didn't. You didn't think it was attractive?

[Kelly]

Honestly, it seemed like a little unhinged someone would be having that in this phone.

[Alexis]

Hey, I think you're trying to find something wrong with him because you're scared. It was going so good.

[Kelly]

Because, listen, that's just how. Yeah, that's how I felt.

[Brooke]

Okay, well, your feelings are totally valid. But I believe that Paul's feelings are probably also equally as valid, if not more, because they are his private notes. So we should probably hear his side of the story. Cause he is on the other line right now waiting to talk to you.

[Kelly]

Stop it.

[Alexis]

Yeah, I would read that. And his favorite restroom.

[Brooke]

Paul.

[Kelly]

Oh, my God.

[Paul]

I'm here. What's up?

[Brooke]

Hey.

[Jose]

You're the bathroomer.

[Alexis]

He's a toilet king.

[Brooke]

How are you feeling based on what you just heard there?

[Paul]

I mean, I don't really see what's the big deal about some Yelp reviews.

[Alexis]

I'm with him.

[Paul]

I mean, who wants to eat at a restaurant where the bathroom's filthy?

[Jose]

He's right, though. It does reflect.

[Jeffrey]

Really? Have you ever looked up the bathroom before you go somewhere?

[Brooke]

Not before, no.

[Jose]

But when you.

[Alexis]

Absolutely. If I went and saw a review for a restaurant that said it had an icky bathroom out.

[Jose]

Sorry, kids.

[Brooke]

You were leaving yourself out in the woods in a hole.

[Alexis]

Listen to me. That is clean.

[Brooke]

Paul can leave a review of the bathroom out in the. In the forest.

[Jose]

Where you at, Kelly?

[Alexis]

Think of how creative those reviews were. I mean, you've got a man who is good with words.

[Brooke]

Okay, We've been doing the show for, like, 13 years. Brooke has never stood up for a man like she has. Public bathroom, Yelp review.

[Alexis]

What's wrong with it?

[Kelly]

Honestly, like, you are gassing me up a little bit. Like, you're making me see the other side of things a little bit.

[Brooke]

Okay, Kelly, here's the important question. In his apartment, was his bathroom clean?

[Jose]

Oh, my. Not even think of that.

[Alexis]

Are you asking her to review his.

[Jose]

Oh, no, I wasn't that excited about it excited.

[Kelly]

I will say two things. Number one, it was sparkling clean. I will give him that very clean bathroom.

[Paul]

Okay. However, thank you.

[Kelly]

Number two, I do not appreciate the fact that the toilet paper was facing the way. I don't appreciate it was like an underpull.

[Jose]

The big debate supposed to be over not under. Right.

[Alexis]

Brooke, girl, you just found a man with a clean bathroom that does his dishes and you are trying to find a problem. You cannot pass up this opportunity.

[Brooke]

I don't know. It seems to be a pretty big issue for her. But Kelly, I'm still gonna ask you anyway. Would you give him another shot at a second date? And we would pay for it.

[Kelly]

I take ownership. Like, I should not have gone through this man's phone.

[Alexis]

That's good.

[Kelly]

And so as long as the place you are sending us has a solid bathroom rating from him.

[Brooke]

Okay, now it's suddenly like the most important thing to Kelly too.

[Alexis]

Now she's on board.

[Paul]

Paul, I'd love to go out with Kelly again.

[Alexis]

If they ever get married, they're gonna rent one of those really fancy porta potties where it has like, you know what I'm saying? It's like a trailer.

[Brooke]

Brooke, your stories always end up in a trailer.

[Alexis]

They always started there too. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jose]

All right, so if you don't know, prime big deal days are coming up soon. Hey, what's up? It's Jose from Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's happening October 7th and 8th and they're gonna be some crazy big deals. I mean off the. All right, discounts up to 40% off. So it's the perfect chance to treat yourself to a little something you've had your eye on. Whatever works for you, you make it happen. Here's what I'm thinking. When I want to treat myself to something, I like to order up like a nice steak, right? So maybe during prime big deal days, I could pick up some high end steak knives and some serving platters and some plates, right? Basically, I'm going to treat myself to some things to help me treat myself. All right, Whenever I want. This is next level thinking, you guys. And you know, because Amazon has like everything, you do the same during prime big deal days. You can find just the thing to treat yourself up to 40% off. You gotta do it. Get ready.

[Paul]

I've been trying to just focus more on the good and being less aggressive about it.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay. So you're referring to the negative bathroom reviews that tended to skew a little bit angry, right?

[Jose]

Yeah. Are you still doing those?

[Paul]

I'm still reviewing. Trying not to be too harsh and let some more things slide.

[Brooke]

Okay. But it sounds like maybe that urge to one star yelp places is still lurking inside you.

[Paul]

It still happens, especially around urinals.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Dude, I feel that they don't make any sense to me. So much splatter. I'm with you.

[Brooke]

Okay, well you and Brooke can talk a little bit and get some of that anger out after this.

[Alexis]

Yeah, it's not about not having anger, it's just about channeling. Good.

[Paul]

Okay.

[Brooke]

We'll channel it into after this. Maybe in the into our podcast. But we're happy to hear Kelly, Paul, that you're still together and reforming each other and doing well.

[Paul]

Thank you guys.

[Brooke]

Keep us updated on your bathroom escapade. No, no, no, Paul, definitely do not reveal us.

[Alexis]

Yeah, don't do that.

[Paul]

I have to check out your bathroom.
