All right, you're in for a special one today. It's a brand new episode here on Brick and Jeffrey's second date update. Oh, yeah. We do not do these very often. Thank the Lord. But it's happening today. Brooke breaks you up. Yes, I love listening to you.

Oh, God. You just wish you had my services earlier in your 20s, Alexis. Honestly, yeah, I could use you. Uh-huh. Okay, before we get to it, comments. Yes, Brian Alvarez said, your favorite state of Florida here. I'm on my third trip around the Brooke and Jeffrey universe. I start at the latest episode available

and play you guys constantly in the background of my life until I get to the end. Then I start again. This is my third time starting. Dang. That is crazy. I wonder how many new ones he hears by the time it gets to the end of the restart.

Right. How long it takes them? Maybe he gets like 10 noon second dates and it starts over, maybe 50? I hope that takes months to go through it all. I want to know the mental state from when you started to when you finish now. Physical, like we're at.

You keep doing it, so something's happening. Yeah. Well, wow. That is incredible. Thank you so much for being here. And really, truly, thank you for all that support. Yes. Your brand new episode starts right now.

How do you deliver bad news to someone that you really care about? Oh, man, gently, I guess. If you're Alexis, you shrink down, apologize profusely. Yeah. And then run away before they ever make eye contact with you. Exactly. Or over text. is preferred.

Yeah. If you can get it out. But you know what? That strategy isn't going to work today. No. Because what we need is a fearless, fire breathing monster with a delicate feminine touch. And glasses so big she can see the reflection of your soul in them before she sucks it out of your body and lasts directly in your face. Who can be?

You know me so well, Judge. Maybe overselling it just a little bit. But this is a segment that could go down as this year's most explosive confrontation that will have all year long. It's a brand new edition of Brooke Breaks You Up. I do not enjoy this. I don't. Fear the monster coming up right after this. Hey, Brooke.

Can you break us up? Sure. Brick breaks you up. Oh, yay! Welcome back to Brooke breaks you up. I didn't think this segment could get more cringy for me until you added the intro. It's awesome, Jim. I know, Brooke, you said sure.

So excitedly at the thought of breaking somebody up. You're not mentally prepared for a breakup today, Jeff. Well, one of our listeners is, because if you haven't heard this segment before, one of our listeners identifies the harshest person on our show, Brooke Fox. and asks her to do their dirty work for them. I do think that you shouldn't stay with someone if you're not into the relationship anymore.

I've watched too many friends stay in long-time relationships that were a waste of their time. Okay, don't cite your therapist here, Brooke. We don't need that sort of talk. Brooke is the perfect person for this because she has broken up with hundreds of dudes over the years for totally selfish reasons and feels no remorse about it whatsoever.

I don't actually. On the other side, I've also been. been dumped many, many, many times. Yes, she knows how it feels and she knows exactly what to say. So, Brooke, are you ready to help one of our listeners blindside his significant other and break off their relationship? She's not going to see it coming? Because a guy named Jack has emailed our show saying he wants to break up with his sweet,

lovely girlfriend, Melanie, who's a hospice nurse and rescues kittens in her free time. She's an angel. I'm going to cry. I'm going to cry. Please tell me that part. Is it true? Now, I don't know if any of what I said is actually true. It's just a blind guess, but we will find out when we speak to Jack directly.

Jack, was any of my guesses about your girlfriend right? No, not at all. Okay. I didn't even get the name, right? What's her soon-to-be ex-girlfriend's name? Oh, my name's name. Megan? Okay.

Why can't you do this yourself, Jack? Maybe she cheated on him. We don't know. Maybe it'll be easy. Yeah, maybe you're going to not like her, Brooke. Tell us the story. I've liked every Megan I've ever met. Maybe that'll change here.

Tell us the story of you and Megan and why it's not meant to be. Yeah, well, I actually have tried several times to break it off myself, and I've been meaning to call this show for a minute because, Brooke, I mean, it's just, you're so good at it. Okay, let's not butter me up, all right?

I hear you. Okay, listen, you've tried many times as in you've chickened out at the last second, or she is just refusing to leave as your girlfriend? I guess a little of both, more so the last one, because, I mean, I haven't said the words out loud, but I think she has like a little spidey senses and can see it coming. And then she'll change the subject or, like, we'll go do something like that she knows I like and it's really fun. So it's never the right time.

Well, good news is you don't have to talk. Brooke gets to do all that for you. But maybe we need to give her a little bit of ammunition. Like, what do you think cause the downfall? Like, what's the reason for the breakup? What caused the downfall of your relationship? Yeah. So I thought that opposites attract, you know, at the beginning of the relationship.

And, you know, I'm more laid back and she's, like, really intense. Oh, God. I have to call it intense person. Oh, yeah. I have a friend like that. You don't have to. You get to. Yeah.

This is an honor that you get to have. And so how is that affecting your relationship negatively? She's just a little scary. And the thought of being with her is a little. even more scary than not. How long have you been together, Jack, you and her? For a couple months. Oh, not that long.

Okay. Okay. I could break that off. Well, it should be clear, we've been officially boyfriend and girlfriend for a few months, but we've been dating on and off for the last, like, a year. Oh. Okay. So it's been rocky from the start if it was on enough.

Yeah. I don't know if this is pertinent to anyone else, but I need to know what I'm working with here. Do you guys use the I love you? Yeah. Ah. Okay, you use it, but you don't like mean it wholeheartedly. Not the answer. Right.

And they don't mean it. Right. It's kind of like an obligation. I see. So how long do you want to keep the act going? You can't keep it going forever. And you said that you've tried to broach this conversation with Megan before. And it just, you just can't get it out.

Yeah. And at the beginning of the relationship with the intensity factor, the intimacy in the bedroom was great. But now it's just like, nothing, like just dead. And it's really weird because, like, I've tried everything. I even tried talking to her during foreplay, which I never do. Oh.

I never do. No, I mean, all of these details. This is making you want to break them up more, isn't it, Brooke? I mean, it sounds like she's not satisfied either. Yeah. Why would she want to be in this relationship? We can do a separate segment where Brooke gives advice on that. Yeah.

Jeff, there's a chance that Brooke does this. and your girlfriend actually cheers in happiness when Brooke says it's over. I don't think she's going to do that. I'm just going to tell you that right now. She can be really harsh and super blunt. Some people also just, like, need to be in a relationship. Yeah. Like, even if she's not happy, she has someone.

Maybe she's a bind swinger, you know, like you don't let go of one relationship before you got another in your hand. Jose, are you willing to go out with her just so I can get it? Can you take a stray bullet? No, sorry. Oh, okay. All right, Alexis, you're going to have to tap in for Jose on this one. Yeah, way more interesting.

A big a rebound. Okay. All right. We've got a backup plan for your girlfriend to fall on once Brooke comes back and breaks you up with your on and off again year-long girlfriend, Megan. Who's really intense and scary. I mean, I think I got this. Honestly. Like, I'm feeling better than I was at the beginning of the call.

All right. You feeling good about this, Jack? I think Brooke is the perfect person to do this because I obviously have issues with saying what I need to say. and so Brooke is like a battle axe and she's going to just kill it. Badlax. All right. Never heard battleax.

Who's as a compliment? Well, we're going to do our... Battleax, Brooke. We're going to have our best brave heart cry before we charge in and break up this relationship with Brooke breaks you up right after this. Hey, Brooke.

Can you break us up? Sure. Brooke breaks you up. What is happening on this show? Welcome to the battle that everyone on the text board is looking forward to, where Brooke is going to break up a couple. Because our listener, Jack, who's kind of a laid back guy, spoke to him a little,

he told us his on and off again girlfriend of the past year can be a little blunt, little intense, and very tough to deal with one-on-one. So he thinks Brooke is the perfect person for this job to step in and end things. once and for all on his behalf. We haven't done this in a long time. I forget.

Do I call Jack back in after I talk to her? Why you sound so scared, Brooke? Don't be so terrified. Don't worry about the logistics of it. Yeah, it'll happen naturally. You've done this a thousand times, but Jack has tried to do it himself on several occasions. It just never seems to go well.

That's why he's calling in the battle axe. Brooke Fox herself to charge in and deliver that fatal blow. How about I could just be a reasonable person with some logic into a relationship? That's not what Jack is asking for. He wants a hammer brought down. Yeah, we need an old weapon. What? With you, you're all right.

Okay, Jack, I think you need to understand. When I have this conversation with her, I'm going to have to say some, like, reasons why she shouldn't even want to be with you. Oh, that's good. I just don't want you to take that personally. Jack, is there anything bad about yourself that Brooke can throw out there? Yeah, tell us your secret. We heard it the first half. Yeah, what are we?

I already have. I do have some notes already. Yeah, I think I'm good on that part. I just don't want her to be mad at me. Like, she's going to be pissed. Yeah, that's fine. Why do you care? You're not going to be with her anymore.

That's the whole thing is like, if you want to break up with someone, you have to be okay with however they're going to feel about you after that. Oh, man, hearing those words just send shivers down my spine, the coldness in Brooks' voice. You want to dump a woman and then you want her to still like you? Like, that's not going to happen. You hear the ice in her veins, Jack? She is so ready for this. Well, as long as you do all of it,

like, I don't really want to be talking with her. Yeah, perfect, Jack. Brooke is going to handle all of this. You don't have to say anything. You can just listen quietly and hear how it goes. We will have you in the sidelines. If you do want to jump in and say something, or if we need to call you in maybe to clarify a point.

Is there a signal or something? We may have to have him join at some point just because who knows how it's going to turn out. Brooke may not know something. I don't think it's going to be that bad. I mean, honestly. Okay, I hope not. She's fiery.

Why would anyone want to be with someone that doesn't want to be with them? Good. Save that. Save that for when you talk to Megan here. So, Brooke, I'm not going to say a word. The phone is going to ring. And if she answers, you can start talking directly to her. It's a huge deal.

Not for Brooke Fox. It's not a big deal. So here we go. Hey, Brooke. Godspeed. Godspeed. Good luck, my little battle axe. Good luck, Brooke.

Here we go. Hi, is this Megan? Yes, this is Megan. Who's this? Hi, Megan. This is Brooke. I'm from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Oh.

Yeah. Hi. You're on the show right now, Megan. Because your boyfriend is a listener of ours. Oh. Okay. So what's going on? well um what's going on bro yeah so jack wrote into the show because jack is having troubles we'll say communicating a pretty clear message that he wants to share with you and he asked for specifically my help yeah okay so the good is that it sounds like you're an incredibly strong independent woman who knows exactly what she wants in life and i love that applause okay okay

So, silence, that's fine. That's fine. The bad news, there is some bad news to that, is that Jack is none of those things. And you may already know that. I'm just talking about her boyfriend there. I mean, he's calling me to ask for a hard, help in a hard conversation.

Yeah. I'm listening. Okay. You're doing great, bro. Keep going on. So, listen. Megan, he feels like this relationship, the relationship between you.

you and him isn't working anymore. So he feels like it would be better if you two went your separate ways. I don't know what you're doing, but we're not breaking up. It's not happening. So thanks for the call. No, no, you are. You are breaking up. Like, it's not, there's no choice in it.

You tell her, bro. Jack is exiting the relationship. He is no longer in a relationship with you. You know, if what you're saying is even true and I'm not being pranked or something that totally waste my time, maybe just, something actually helpful and smart and make him tell me himself. You know, grow some bozzles and talk to me instead of hiding behind some bitch on the radio. Oh.

You know what? Wow. Wow. Actually, I actually told him that. I mean, I used different words. But I, you know, I was like, come on, you can't do this yourself. Like, it doesn't make any sense. Why would you? Yeah, and clearly you can't do it either. No, I'm doing it. Oh, Brooke can't even do it.

I'm doing it. The problem is that he apparently has tried to have this conversation with you before, and it sounds like you may have told him no then as well. Okay, I don't know you, but you sound like a real pathetic loser. That's what you do. That's fine. I mean, honestly, I could take those shots. Do you a shut up for a second? Oh, okay. Does this make you feel good about yourself? Does it make you feel powerful? You're truly sad. No, I'm not trying to be good or powerful. I'm just trying to help Jack. out because he's not your job

to help him out. Well, it is because we do a radio show. We do a lot of relationship stuff. It's none of your business. This shouldn't even be happening right now. You have no part in this. Okay. Prick, you can kind of steamrolls right here. I mean, I don't want to have any part in it, but. Well, clearly you do because this is what you're doing and you've decided to do.

Just wait, he told me that you guys were on and off for a long time before you started an exclusive relationship, which is already messy. Great, good job. You heard him. Okay. And he also told me that, like, there's no action. Like he said that it's like... Oh my God, you shut the fuck up.

That is not any of their business. What? There's not something that has to be discussed publicly. The fact that you would even bring it up is disgusting. You're anonymous. We don't know what. Okay. Why is it gross?

Like, that's not gross? I'm sorry, Megan, can I step in? I'm the Jeffrey part of the Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning show. And I apologize that my co-host took it way too far there. That was super uncalled for. Can I just talk for a second? You've been talking and it hasn't been going very well. It's going great.

So this is obviously different than how we thought it would go. And I heard Megan say that she wants to hear it. Really, you thought it was going to be a piece of cake, a walk in the park. You're using a call up and say that my boyfriend wants to break up with me? He's not even here. Where is he? No. Well, he is here.

He is here. He is here. He's here. But you want to hear it straight from Jack. And the good news is Jack is on the other line waiting to jump in and talk to you. Jack? He's there. He's there.

Jack, your girlfriend is can't wait to speak to you. Go for it. Jack, what the f is going on here? Oh. Hey, Megan. Is this a joke? Please tell me how being like What's going on?

Okay, wait, let's just hold on here. I honestly, I really don't know what's going on because I just asked her to talk to you, but I don't know why she's like being so mean and abroad. Jack! Jack! She's got to be able to go back and listen to the podcast. Like you fully clearly asked me to dump your girlfriend.

But right now it's really, What's that, Megan? What did you want her to say to me, Jack? What was the whole point of this then? Yeah, Jack. Because this is completely out of hand. That's interesting. Well, I mean, I just wanted to, like, see where the relationship is at.

Oh, God. Honestly, Megan, why are you not dumping him? You should not be in a position where you're getting dumped by Jack. Okay, can you just take the- Someone mute Brooke or whatever her name is? Yeah, Brooke, this isn't your relationship. This is their relationship. Don't tell them what they are and aren't and can and can't be. You're like, Megan's a really good person.

And I was... Yeah. I didn't say she wasn't a good person. Well, you kind of implied that. No, Jack, I applied that you were the loser in the relationship. That's so much better. Okay. Like, what is happening?

Megan, I'm sorry. I just, I did not think she was going to come after you like that. Yeah, it sounds like Brooke the one who needs to get laid. Just clearly she's missing out in the bedroom. This is wild. She knows a lot about sexual help. She diagnosed you, bro. This guy isn't even...

This is a very unhealthy place. So we came in with the goal to have a tough, difficult conversation. And we definitely did. This was one of the toughest conversations Brooks ever had. Jack, I know you said your girlfriend was a little intense. I'm not hearing it. But in the long run, I hope that you two are able to go home and talk this out and get to whatever destination you want to be at in your relationship. You guys should not be together.

But why you keep jumping in and saying that? Because about how we started all of this. Jack, we're going to talk tonight. And if this is something that you put them up to, tell me to my face. Okay? Yeah, that's going to happen. Honeybear, of course, of course. And you know I would never do something like us.

Oh. Well, I'm going to call this a successful edition of Brooke Breaks You Up. Yeah, it's called that as an option, by the way, if you're listening. I'm positive they're still together.

Because why is she so bad at this? Good question. Brooke, care to respond? I thought I was actually on one.

Like, I was doing a good job until he came back in. Oh, yeah. Like, that was the worst mistake we could have ever made. He didn't have your back after that. And I'll tell you, I feel a little bad about how harsh I was to him. Yeah, I don't think it's any surprise that he turned on you because you were basically spending the whole time being like he's such a loser. Why would you want to be? That was actually my favorite part of the whole part.

We're doing it for the greater good. Well, I'm just starting to think the strong women aren't the problem in this situation. It's the weak man. Yeah, well, that's always an issue. Yeah, but you know what was good to hear? What? Jack stand up and defend his girlfriend's honor against mean old evil Brooke when she turned on it. That was good.

Yeah, he grew a spine right before our very eyes. Wow. So in a way, you did like God's work there, Brooke. That was beautiful. All I can feel good about thinking is that maybe he did have the realization that he actually wanted to be in the relationship with her after listening. No. No. I think he's literally trapped.

He's just scared. Yeah, he's going to be handcuffed. I'm trying here, Jose, okay? We can't wait to hear down the road where they get married against his will one day. You know what?
