It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We got two back-to-back classics. And just a reminder to check out our YouTube.

We do post a video of Jeffrey's song every Friday. Yesterday was about garage sales. Yeah. It sounds boring, but I promise you it wasn't. There was actually multiple times where we all groaned and disgust during his song. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good point. Cringe along with us over on our YouTube page at Brick and Jeffrey. And before we get into these classics, what do we see in comments?

Yeah, this one was vague, and I'm just reading it because I need more details. Jimmy said, listening well in a hurricane. What? Jimmy. Jimmy, are you okay? Jimmy, we need to know more updates. You can't just say that. You can't, Jimmy. You can't, Jimmy.

You need to call us back, text us back, comment back. Please, Jimmy. Update us. All right. Prayers for Jimmy. Yes. All right. Your classic start right now.

On a dating app, is it a flex? to say, I'll fly out to come and meet you. Oh. Absolutely it is. I feel like it kind of is. Really? Compared to like, hey, I'll train out to come and meet you. I'll be there in like four days.

I've been planes on a flex. I don't know what it is, man. Yeah, I mean, I'm thankful this guy took a plane ride to meet up with his date. I just wish that the actual hangout went a little bit smoother. Nothing that we can't fix by just being our natural charming selves and arranging another date for them. You're going to hear what happened in your second date update. Next. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Second date update. I've heard you can always trust people who have a five-letter first name. What? Tyler, Mason, Vince, the Slap Chop guy. Oh, that guy got a lot of trouble. Before he got arrested, I really trust him. You just feel safe talking to somebody with five letters in their first name. Who's Vince?

No idea. It's for Slapjob. The infomercial do. Yeah. You could always trust him. That's why I get a really cozy feeling knowing our listener on the phone right now has a five-letter first name. A guy named Corey, C-O-R-E-Y. Corey, your name alone means you have a lot to live up to here.

But welcome to the show, man. How you doing? Thanks. I'm all right. How are you? Does the girl that you met have a five-letter first name, too? No, no, sadly. I didn't know that Jeff was, like, so into this five-letter thing.

Nobody on this show has a five-letter name. Yeah, and that's how you know. We're all pieces of garbage. So Alexis has the same amount of letters as I do. Almost. Jeffrey has five letters in it. So I'm trustworthy. You can trust me with your story, Corey.

Go ahead. What's the name of this girl that you met? Her name's Alphen. Allison. What, you just is this? Hold on. A L-L-I-S-O-N. That's seven.

Seven letters in that name. Let's call her Allie, A-L-I-E, so that I can approve of her. No one spells Allie that way. Well, we do today. So tell us about Allison. Where did you meet her? Well, I met her on a dating app, and I haven't had the best of luck. Like, I've been on the dating apps for a long time, and it's just, it's been a while since I made any real connection with anybody.

Yeah, we hear that a lot about the apps. I don't think you're alone in that at all. Yeah. But Alice and I, we, like, really hit it off. And the only problem is she doesn't live in my town. Oh. She lives, like, a couple hours away by driving. Whoa.

Well, you got a big radius on that app. Yeah. Couple hours is a commitment. That's something you're willing to do? Yeah, it would have to be worth it. And I decided that it absolutely would be. Aw, that's romantic. She seemed into it too.

So we were like, how do we do this? And I had a free weekend. I'm like, I'm free next weekend. What if I fly up there? Whoa. Oh, fly. I like how you're like, I'm not driving a couple hours. Get me out of planes, sir.

Take a 30-minute flight. I know, but it takes the same amount of time at the end. By the time you have to, like, go to the airport. check in, do all the stuff. It's the same amount of time. I mean, that's her seeing all of the effort that you're willing to put in just to meet up with her. Did you, like, get a hotel or did you expect to stay with her for the weekend? I didn't have expectations.

I was like, you know, I was prepared for it, but no, I got a hotel. Okay. Okay. But I didn't have the hotel already booked. I was like, I'll get one when I need one. Okay. Makes sense. Because you can't, like, cancel day of. Also, your name is Corey with five letters in it, so she felt safe just being around you.

knowing that in itself. Yeah, she can trust you. Yeah, I mean, I didn't, hopefully I didn't make any expectations that I was going to stay with her or whatever. Hopefully she registers that. How did the meetup go? So we're like, let's just go to a restaurant. And she suggested a chain restaurant, which is fine.

It's not the rest of them I would have picked. Wow. It's a little disappointed. Yeah. It was great. The conversation flowed. There was lots of laughter. We were playing this game where it was like, let's look at the people around this.

and try to guess what job that they would have. I love that one. Yeah, that's a fun one. She was so funny. She kept saying like Uber driver. Like she ran out of guests. She just kept guessing the same thing. Well, that could be anybody.

She has had to be their funny moment. Yeah, that's your inside joke. Yeah. That's cool. So he wasn't like super great at the game, but we had to laugh about it. Okay. Was there more than just the restaurant, I would assume, because you're there all weekend, right? Yeah, yeah. So we were like, you know, dinner was over, and there was,

the Cheesecake Factory next door. Oh. This is like the chain mecca. I love it. So it's like, let's get some dessert there. And we were going to take it to go. Yeah. Where were you going to go?

What was the plan? We were just going to go to the park and just hang out more. Huh. Cheescake in the park. At night. Yeah. Romantic. But, I mean, I was floored by the prices actually at Cheesecake Factory, to be honest.

$12 dollars a slice. It really is. Restaurants just right now are so expensive. Yeah. You know, like, prices have gone up so much. And so we were just like, just got one and we split it. Okay. So we went to the park and we ate the cheesecake, have more good conversation.

And then it was like, okay, let's split up. Oh, okay. So she didn't invite you back to her place? She did not. I was flying back the next night. And so in my mind, it was like, let's go to bed and we can wake up early and, you know, spend the next date with each other. Maybe do, like, brunch or something, like before you leave. A lot of time with someone you don't know, though.

Yeah. But also that's a good thing because you go to the hotel in the morning. You text her say, hi, good morning. Would you like to do something? And if she says no, then you know it's a no. There's free kundlemaud breakfast in the lobby. Yeah. I got to my hotel. Come hit up the waffle bar. That's smart, bro. I mean, it's no chain restaurant, but it'll do. So what happened the next day? Well, so I did that. I texted her, like, let's hang out. And she didn't say no. But she was just like, sorry, I had this, my grandma has this thing and I can't hang out today.

It kind of sounds like an excuse. Maybe not. Maybe it was just a miscommunication. Like, how good were you at being direct when you were coming in? Like, hey, I want to see you both days. I wasn't really because I didn't want to, like, put any pressure on her. But I was super disappointed, though, because we had headed off. And, like, I flew up there.

Yeah, she's going to want to squeeze it in. And now she's not calling you back? It was texted a few times. But, like, it feels like a little different maybe. And so I can't figure it out. I have no idea what's going on. I mean, if Allison really wants to go to her grandma's funeral over, like, spending more time with you, I think that's a big red flag for her. I think it was an activity with her alive, grandma is how I read it, Jeff.

She should have been more clear. Should have been more clear about that. And we're going to hold her feet to the fire when we come back, call her, and get you. That's so aggressive. We'll just see what she has to say when we do your second date update right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. It is not a good sign when you fly out of town for a first date

and the person decides to hang out with their grandma over you. Oh, it could be kind of a good old sign. Well, that's what kind of happened to our listener, Corey. He traveled by plane to meet up with a woman named Allison. They had dinner and cheesecake one night. But the next day, she told him, oh, sorry, I actually can't see you again. I'm chilling with my gram gram today. So naturally, Corey's wondering, is it.

because I did something wrong on our date? Right. Or is her grandma really just that cool? Brooke, please reassure Corey and tell him he's cooler than a granny here. Yeah, I'm sure that's what it is. Grandma's always going to come first. Grandma will come first, but grandma shouldn't take all day. Yeah.

Like, even Corey, if it was like, hey, can I just meet you for coffee before I fly out? Oh, can I bring my grandma on our coffee day? Did you ask that? I mean, I guess I should have offered that. I didn't think of that. Okay. Yeah. I mean, maybe that's all it is.

I'm still holding out hope that this is going to work out, okay? So I really appreciate y'all doing this for me. Well, I was also thinking maybe it sunk in, too, that you had to get on a flight. Like, this long-distance thing may not work. It's hard for long-term relationships to be long-distance, let alone starting a brand-new one long-distance. I've never heard that. I've heard long-distance is easier. Let's hope that Allison agrees.

I'm going to call her right now. Hopefully she has some answers, but here we go. Hey, is this Allison? Yes, who is this? Hey, you don't have to be afraid. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Jack, don't ever start with you.

You don't have to be afraid. Always good when a guy says that. That's the worst thing to say. Don't be scared of us. We're a really friendly group of male and female hosts on the radio. Why do I not want to be lumped in with you? Safe space here, Allison. It's got to have two shows going on.

Hello? Are you still there? Maybe. Yeah. Hi, okay. Sorry for phrasing it that way. But you're on the radio right now. And we're doing a segment.

It's called a second date update. We're trying to get some help for one of our listeners that you went out with recently. A guy named Corey. Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh. Wow. I was quack.

You know who exactly Corey is. Yeah. I mean, talk about someone who has no self-awareness. Yeah, I know, Corey. No self-awareness. Uh-oh. That would explain why he has no clue why you're not calling him back. Yeah.

Like, clearly he's not aware of what he did wrong. because we heard the story from him about your hangout. We didn't pick up any red flags based on what we heard from him. That's laughable. Oh, my gosh. Laffable. We'll help enlighten us because we are just trying to help Corey figure out what he did wrong. I mean, I don't know.

He needs, like, a chevalry class or, like, social basics, like, interactions 101. But he was so rude. Like how? What? He was rude to you? Yeah. Like, our first. conversation, I sit down and he notices my nose ring.

And he's like, oh, how long have you had that? And I said, a couple years, I was like, why? And he says, oh, because I'm trying to understand how many daddy issues you have. Whoa. Oh, my gosh. From a nose piercing? Yeah, what? Exactly.

No one associates daddy issues and nosepiece. No. Yeah. Once you're like 85. Well, clearly, clearly Corey does. Was he trying to make a joke? just didn't land right? Like maybe that's... No, I don't know. I mean, if that had been the only thing, fine. But I was like, okay,

maybe he's nervous. Maybe he's like, we just don't get each other's humor. Right. But then we're like playing this game where we're like picking out the jobs for people around us. And it's like fine. Yeah, we heard about that. Everyone was Uber drivers, right? Right. Yeah. I mean, that came after what he said my job was. So I was just kind of in shock. Wait, wait. He picked out a job for. for you? He picked out a job for me and he goes, I have a job for you. And I was like, oh, okay.

And he's like, it would be groupie. What? Groupie? Like you'd be some desperate woman following a band around? As a job? Exactly. And I was like, uh, not even a good joke. Really?

Yeah. No. Maybe he meant it in like you seem like a fun type of girl. I don't think a groupie's ever a good thing. Well, it is. It's a good thing for the band. Oh, yeah. The band thinks that they're good.

The band likes them that much. Yeah. I know. Usually people hate groups. Yeah. It was so weird. Why would you tell someone that? And I told him that's offensive.

And he was like, oh, just based on your nose ring, you know, based on how you're dressed. Based on how your dress. And I was like, okay, I'm done. But we left the restaurant and then I was already over it. And then he was like, oh, there's cheesecake. Let's go to Cheesecake Factory, which he suggested. And I was like, okay, yeah, that's fine. Whatever.

let's see how this goes. And he asked what the price is and looks at me and he goes, oh, so are you going to get your card out? What? Are he asked you to get your card out to pay? Yeah. And I'm like, what? You asked me on a date.

You suggested cheesecake. If this was breaking your bank, why did you say come in here? Yeah. Well, you are the host because he's the one flying in town. So a lot of the times the host is supposed to pay for stuff like meals. But I don't know. It seems like a little bit of a stretch. That is more than a little bit of a stretch, Jeff.

Again, what she said, he suggested going to cheesecake. He's the one that asked her out. He paid. Yeah, then we got like one piece and we split it, which he ate mostly. And I'm like, this is so weird. That's your red flag. Worse than the offensive comments. He's probably a guy that wouldn't share his fries.

Right. Oh, no. No, that's worse. So no doubt there's some questionable stuff being said by him, but there's always two sides to every story. We should at least at a minimum hear what Corey has to say about it because he is on the other line right now waiting to talk to you. No way. Actually, he is. And I'm sure he just wants to apologize.

Allison, I just feel like he just left out all the good parts. Oh. Good parts. Yeah, you left out all the good parts and you just said all this stuff that you had problems with. I didn't even know you had problems with you because you didn't say anything about it. Okay, she told you it was offensive. Is Allison even still there? Yeah.

What do you mean? You didn't know I had a problem. I said that's offensive. When is calling anyone a groupie a positive interaction? I mean, it was kind of like a joke, but also it was just kind of like your vibe, right? Oh. My vibe? No.

What are you doing? Like a fun, but like a fun vibe. You know? Like me, but I'm the groupie. I don't know. I didn't mean any different. respect, like that movie almost famous, like the Penny Lane. Like, she's cool. Oh my God. What is like her? It was a really bad cycle that she was in if you watch the whole movie.

But it sounds like you're really defensive and you didn't expect that she was offended. No, no, I wasn't expecting that. So I think maybe just take a deep breath and use this opportunity to apologize and own some of that. What did I apologize? I don't know what she's mad about. You told her she had daddy issues, Corey. You've got to apologize. I didn't say, no, I didn't say she had daddy issues, all right? It's just like my personal experience is that usually girls with nose rings usually have some kind of daddy issues. And it's not even, I'm not even saying like it's bad. It's like it's just a thing.

Whoa, you have a lot of issues. What are your daddy issues? Okay, issues aside, it is interesting that you didn't tell us, Corey, that you asked Allison to pay for the cheesecake. Oh, yeah. After you were the one. I'm supposed to pay for everything? Why? Just because you were the one who suggested.

suggested getting the cheesecake. Allison, tell Corey how you felt during that moment when he asked you to pay for the dessert. I was like, wow, this guy's a loser. Oh. Okay. The way he asked you does make him a loser. Whatever, I'm a loser, but what? You want me to just take care of you?

Like I'm your daddy? Sounds like you've got daddy issues. No. No. Corey, I want you to never take care of me. I want you to never talk to me. That's why you didn't hear from me. Thank you.

I wish you just told me that in the first. first place instead of stringing me along. I didn't string you along. I made up a lie about my grandma. I didn't string you along. Oh, wait. You lied? There was no hangout with your grandma on the next day?

No, I was trying to be kind, but like, I didn't know he was going to call a radio station and air out that he was just dumb baking. I thought that we had daddy issues, but apparently it's granny issues that we've got going on. So before we let you go, we have to. We offer you a chance to meet. up one more time and we will pay for the second date for at least the dinner. Absolutely not. Okay, good.

No. She didn't even let you finish your sentence. Wow. So rude. We're being sarcastic, Allison. Sorry he had to go through that. What about me? I think it's like dragged through the mud.

Yeah. I know you feel that way, buddy. That was your own dragging though. It's called consequences for your actions. Oh no. Oh no. Really is looking down on you, bro. Yeah.

So, Corey, it's not going to be another. date with Allison. It's a no from her. Obviously, fine. But good news, you're back on to the dating apps just where you want to be. Great. Catch. More nose rings. Awesome. You don't have to match with those girls.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. The Jonas Brothers are running it back. We live the Burning Up Tour and celebrate the biggest Jonas Brothers hits that has defined a generation. One incredible celebration. One unforgettable night.

See the Jonas Brothers live at RBC Amphitheater, September 28. Get tickets now at Ticketmaster.ca. Jonas Brothers, the Burning Up Tour all over again. When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months. I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what show. have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the survivor files. I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who lived through the unthinkable.

I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know we were arguing a lot about groupies there for a second,

but it is interesting that none of us said groupie isn't technically a profession. Oh, yeah. I know. That's because we've watched too many reality shows where people say anything as a profession anymore. Right. I mean, if I were her, I would have said, that's not a job for, like, one you have to guess. You need to pick again. You're grouping out of road.

You wouldn't be offended. It's just inaccurate. Yeah, it would have been a lot of, I mean, it has its perks, but you're not on a payroll. I think you're kind of missing the point of what she was upset about. But sure, Jeff. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. But overall, there's no bennies.

There was no good match happening between the two of them. It's just too bad Corey had to fly out in order to figure. that information now. He chose to fly. He could have done it. Hopefully he takes it as a learning experience for what not to do and what not to say and what body piercings not to draw dumb conclusions from. Okay. Yeah, because he sounds like a guy who's really open to change. Yeah. So if you ever need help with your dating live, you can always email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back and go check out all of our second dates wherever you get your podcast. They're up at Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. What profession do you think gets hit on

the most by people while they're actively on the job. Firefighters. 1,000%. I only ask because one of our listeners took a bold step when she tried to make a move on a guy while he was working. Firefighter? Not a firefighter.

But 10 seconds later, they were inside of her place getting familiar. And it's not as weird as it sounds once you hear what this guy actually does for a living. It's coming up in a second date update. Next. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Second date update. How does the saying go when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade? That's it. We try to find the silver lining in an otherwise crappy situation. Apparently, that's what our listener, Sophia did recently. She took her lemons and made it into datorade. Hey. The lemon lime kind.

That was really funny. I deserved more laugh, Jeff. That's okay. I liked it too. I thought it was all right. Could have been better. I didn't hear anything from it. I'm kind of medium on it myself.

So let's just talk to Sophia about it. Sophia, welcome to the show. Hi, how are you? Sophia, do you get it? Yeah. Hopefully it doesn't turn into hater age. Uh-oh. That was actually funnier than my joke, so I'm glad that her joke got more laughed.

Alexis is mad now. So, Sophia, tell us, what was this bad situation that led you to a date? Well, technically, it wasn't really a formal date, but it was more like a hangout fashion. We talked. Okay. Okay. Should we hang up on her then? Should we cancel this?

No, no, no. No, no. We have all sorts of just hangouts on this show, you know, on this segment. How did it start with a bad situation? What's that about? So, I mean, it was kind of funny. I accidentally locked myself out of my house. Oh, I hate that.

Oh, no. Yeah, I'd gone out with friends. I got home late. Like, it was after midnight at this point. Oh, no. Yeah, so I had to call locksmith. Yeah. You are a really put-together drunk girl, because I would have just crashed through a window.

Yeah. Okay, you needed a locksmith, and what happened? Yes. So I finally got a hold of this guy named Hank, and I mean, he sounded like he just woke up, honestly. Yeah. And so I asked him if he could come help me, you know, open the door to my house. But when he showed up, it was not what I expected when he said his name was Hank. Here's a hunk for sure.

What? Hank's a hunk. What? Nice. A locksmith, really? Yeah. So now, obviously, your mind is shifting from this is going to be a locksmith to this is going to be a potential love interest. Exactly.

Yeah. Okay. How does that? It's out of control today. I love it. How does that go? I mean, okay, so basically he gets into my house within 10 seconds. Makes you feel safe about your door.

You're like, all right. Yeah, that's how easy it is. So did you, like, invite him for a drink? I mean, he's at work. It's like three in the morning. What's how you said it was midnight, right? Or something weird? I literally, I have no idea.

what time it was at that point. But I did offer him. I was like, do you want to come inside? Do you want to water or a soda or anything? Wow. And he took you up on it? I mean, I could tell he kind of wanted to stay. But I don't think if he could really pick up on the subtext of what I was trying to say.

And if he can tell you've been drinking, he may be like, you know, you're a little out of it right now. Wait, like he's working. You could get him fired. True, that too. Yeah, totally. Is the 10 seconds it took for him to get into your house your hangout? No.

Okay, there's more Yeah No, like we ended up talking for like 30, 40 minutes I, like we know I started with a small talk and I was like Oh goodness I bet it's so hard to have a family With this kind of job Oh, look at you

You're fishing He's single Okay But I still don't like I thought I was being kind of obvious But I don't think he really got that at that point But once I finally was like Here take my Instagram I think he kind of

You gotta spell it out for guys sometimes. Okay. So you guys started chatting on Insta? Not quite. You know, we had some small chat, and I thought honestly the interaction was better than any date I've been on in like a year. Be honest. The guy breaks into your house in 30 minutes,

and that interaction is a better date than you've ever had. Well, he's kind of a hero, Jeff. Yeah. You needed him to break in, you know? I got to break down more doors randomly in front of women. You got to be careful, though, because you were drunk, right? Like, you were a little tipsy. Like, you don't know.

Oh, yeah. But I will tell you, it is the only locksmith I have ever hugged before. Okay. Cute. Have you seen him in daylight sober? Yeah, this is what I'm thinking to. I'm like Hank really. Yeah.

Like, I remember one time I went to a fancy dinner and there was a Somalié that I thought was the most gorgeous man I had ever laid eyes on. And then the next day, because I forgot my purse, I had to go back and he was there. And I went, oh. Yeah. The dark lighting. Not the same. And like the hero-esque moment, you know, like. I don't understand.

Are you trying to talk her out of calling this guy? I'm just worried. I don't care what you. I promise you, Hank is ugly. I promise you. No. Your memory of him is way better than what he's actually going to be. I'm wondering if she ever saw pictures of him or like they connected on Insta.

Did you go to his Insta? Like the next day. Have you seen him sober? Have you confirmed his good looks? I haven't seen him in person. or his Instagram because he has not followed me back. Oh, that's it.

Is that not our answer? Are we calling his work cell phone then to try to get you a date? Honestly, I think he's kind of a one-man shopper, so I've been trying to text him and he said he's been busy, but to let him know if I lock myself out again. And so I don't know if that means

he really just business or if he's kind of interested and not showing it. But he hasn't been asking me out, but I thought we had a vibe. Okay. I would love it if y'all could find out for me why. Like, yeah. You do realize that he very politely said no.

Like, you know. Maybe he doesn't get it. Maybe he's not reading her right. But she did give him her Instagram handle, so he should at least have a little bit of a clue that there's more interest than just opening doors. You don't just do that. So we'll find out.

going to call Hank here and we will ask him, why didn't you try to date the drunk girl whose front door you busted down? Please be better than Brooks Tamalei experience. Seriously. Honestly, he was in a linen shirt. He was so hot that night. We'll find out how hot he really is and get some answers for you when we do your second date update right after this.

Hold on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. If you're just joining us for the second date, our listener, Sophia is trying to score another hangout with the sexy locksmith who broke down her front door. Those are two words I never thought I'd hear back to back. Yeah. Sexy locksmith?

Sorry, that's not a euphemism either. Hank, the hunky locksmith, helped her gain access to her house when she locked herself out late one night. They hung out for about 30 minutes just chatting and vibe in. And she said that interaction was better than any actual date that she's been on in a long time. That is such a bad state for dating. She showed up and did what he said he would do, and that was amazing.

But she also mentioned it felt like he was lingering, like wanting to hang out with her a little longer. She did say to him kind of flirtatiously, it must be hard taking midnight calls when you have a family waiting at home. And he told her he was single. Which is great news. Yeah. But is it possible? Because I was thinking about this in the break. Is it possible Hank maybe lied there and then felt guilty because he really does have a girlfriend or a wife even?

If he was a wife, he'd still have his ring on. Because no man would think, like, in the middle of the night, oh, call, I better take off my wedding ring. Maybe the ring gets in the way of you picking locks. Oh, he never wears the ring. That's why I can't get in anywhere. Yeah, it's cumbersome. Because you're married.

Yeah, I got a ring on. But do you think that's a possibility, Sophia, that he lied about being single and now just feels guilty about it? I don't know. It would be kind of weird to do that. But if he's as hot as you say he is, then how would he possibly still be single? That's what I was scared of. I ask myself that question all the time in the mirror.

Like, how? Oh, okay. I don't know. Hopefully Hank has some answers if he picks up the phone. Or, you know, it'll finally be clear to him that you want to go on a date. Hopefully. Yeah. Maybe that's the whole point of this call.

That would be hilarious. He's like, wait, you like me? Yeah. That would be so funny. Sometimes it takes a guy like five, six, seven clues to finally get it. So we'll see what Hank has to say. I'm going to dial his number right now. Here we go.

Hey, is this Hank? Uh, yes, this is. Ooh, deep voice. Oh, business voice. Yeah, he kind of sounds hot, though. Yeah, I know what I mean. Hello? I mean, Hank is one of those unsuspecting hot names.

What's going on? Hey, sorry, we're just, we're sidebarring about something, but you. You're on the radio right now, actually. That's why there's a whole bunch of people here. This is a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Okay. Hey, good morning, man. Were you up late last night?

You sound a little tired. I'm no more than usual. Okay. Okay. Well, we don't want to waste any more of your time. We'll just tell you this is a segment that we do. It's called a second date update. And that would probably be confusing for you because you didn't technically go on any dates.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Basically, we're trying to help out one of our listeners to get back in touch with you. A woman whose door you opened recently, it's a woman named Sophia. Yeah, you were the hero she was looking for that night. Yay. Okay, so what? Well, we don't know what type of vibe you got when you were.

hanging out with Sophia, but from what we heard, hanging out, she was feeling something going on between the two of you. Yeah, I picked that up. Oh, you did? You did, okay. Okay. Yeah. What did you think of Sophia?

I mean, she is cute. She would usually be my type. It's just I don't really, I try not to date people who are already in a relationship. Oh, excuse me, what? Wait, she's in a relationship, or I think you're confused. What gave you that impression? I was like the try not to. Sometimes can't help yourself.

It's really funny. You got the impression she was in a relationship? Right, yeah. When she invited me inside that night, I was there about, I don't know, maybe half an hour. And she was giving me a drink. I noticed the place kind of doesn't look like a woman's place. And I was looking through her mail just because, you know, he was sitting there on the counter. and there were a lot of guys' names on the address label.

Oh, so she doesn't have one relationship. She has multiple. Are she going to have a roommate? Yeah, when I said guys, I meant, you know, apostrophe as it's one guy. Did you ask her, like, hey, does your boyfriend live here? I mean, I'm the locksmith. It's not really my business to ask stuff like that. Okay, I see.

I see. Also, it's a little weird to pick up mail and be like, hey, who's this? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, but you could easily say, oh, so, you know, you live alone. Or you couldn't have called a roommate to help you unlock the door? Trust me, as a guy you never ask a woman, so do you live by yourself? That's good point.

She invited a male in the house. Is anybody going to be joining us here shortly or are we saved? But that is scary. Now he's in the house, so are we alone? Yeah, exactly. You don't want to ask that. I was on the clock. I was just doing the job and then I left.

It would be so stupid of her to call a radio station to publicly ask about a date if she had a boyfriend. Yeah. Yeah. Like she wants to break up with her own boyfriend. Let's clear this up once and for all because. here's the good news, Hank. We have Sophia already on the other line listening to this phone call.

So she is all caught up on it. She just wants to talk to you. What are you talking about? That's how this segment works. We have them quietly listening on the other line ready to jump in and pounce. Oh. No, gentlemen, like, okay, slide in coily.

However you would join a conversation naturally, that's the way she wants to join it. Pounce, Sophia, pounce. Yeah, get them. Okay. Sophia? Yeah. Do you want to clear things up for us and for Hank and for everybody? Yeah, this is going to be such an easy explanation.

Who's the guy on the mail? I would just say it's complicated, I guess. Oh, no. Complicated. What do you mean? Do you have a boyfriend? Technically, no. Okay, so.

Oh, no. Technically. Anyone, the answers to technically. Well, hold on. I'm down for technicalities. I'm willing to hear you out. All right. So it was my boyfriend's place at the time.

No. At what time? But we were kind of on a break at that time. We had already gone through a rough patch. I did officially, I broke up with him last night, so I could make this call. Oh, man. Okay. Okay.

So he was out that night then obviously? Yeah. Help you get in? Yeah, he was spending the night out. Okay. So that's, I mean, that's a good indication that maybe they were emotionally done. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. He's out. Sometimes you can't help that. You can't help when you meet somebody if you did the right thing and you broke up before. This call only. Now, on the other side of things, Hank, the bad news is maybe the boyfriend changed the locks again and she doesn't have any word of stay. So you might need to let her stay with you. He calls Hank to change the locks.

So I don't know, Hank, does that change your perspective on this at all? This whole thing's weird. Everything is about this is weird. I agree. Look, I'm sorry it happened this way. I'm not with him anymore. So when you said Hank was better than any date you've been on, you met your boyfriend. Oh, no.

What a good memory. I mean, yeah, I guess. Look, you never know when you're going to meet a locksmith that has the body of a headworth. Oh, wow. Hank Hensworth. You need to change that to your business tagline. Yes. Who else has a feeling Alexis is going to be calling locksmiths at two-a-miss for now?

Not to objectify you, Hank, but we heard that you're pretty good looking. Yeah. Here's the thing. Like, Hank, she could have just lied right now. At least she's being honest. I don't know if that really buys anything. It would have been nice if Sophia, you were honest and you told us that you had a boyfriend at the time that this all happened. I don't anymore.

And you guys don't live together? You don't live together? Not anymore. We're separating it completely. Okay. Sounds like it's ongoing. Well, I mean, this is in a week. I mean, how fast can you get a new place?

As fast as he can throw all the stuff outside of his apartment. whatever. It could just be saying this now while we're on the phone. Like, really, it just comes down to Hank here. And where your head is at because we would like to offer to send you on another, I guess your first official date with Sophia and we would pay for it. I mean, if you think about it, she says she was in a tough position. She was already breaking up with the guy.

Plus, what kind of boyfriend doesn't leave a spare key somewhere nearby? So I guess what I'd be willing to do is talk a little bit and I guess wait. Because right now it just feels too weird. Okay. Okay. Hey, the door's open. You got your footing. I can compromise.

Maybe you can start by accepting her Instagram friend request, Hank. That would go a long way. Yeah, you're like private or something. Well, I mean, then she'd be seeing pictures of my wife and that's not. Wait, wait, what? I'm joking. I'm joking. Oh, hey.

That's actually pretty much. Hot and funny. I was like, wait a minute. Okay. It's a no to an official. date, but a yes to let's talk and see where things are in a month or a year or five years or so?

Dude, keep us updated. Yeah. I mean, I can compromise with this. Okay. We may not have gotten a date, but at least we satisfied some of Brooke's fantasies for later on tonight. I'll be locking up the whole house. I'll tell you that.

There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I don't know how all of you feel after we did that call, but it felt like maybe were we giving this girl a little bit of a pass because she sounded sweet and nice? I just, I think I was giving her a pass because she'd be too stupid if she was actually still in a relationship trying to get a date. It's just other times I feel like we would have hammered on the person if they had told us they were actively in a relationship when they met somebody else.

And she didn't say that. She didn't even say like I was in my boyfriend's house. Yeah, I agree. We did kind of like pass on it because the guy was good looking. We passed on it because they broke up because it was her house. And the boyfriend didn't show up that night. Yeah. Because she's single now.

If you're leveling up to Hemsworth level, then you know what? God bless you.

I hope she stays in touch with us and I hope that if you need help with your dating life, you reach out to our show too. Email us. We can call that person who's not calling you back.
