I kicked all the boys out for this one. That's right. I mean, I forced Alexis to hang out with me in here. Yeah, I'm having so much fun. I love when you're honest and forthright. Uh-huh. Yeah, welcome to the second date update. We hope you're having a great love day.

And if you're not, we hope this makes you feel better. Yeah. You know, nothing like remembering why single is often better than trying. It's true. It's true. Listen to stay for yourself or give this as a gift. Yes. Tell your significant other to show it just how normal you are.

Yeah, there it is. And we've got back-to-back classics that start right now. They say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Oh, yeah. And we've got one very angry lady on the phone right now. It's really true. I know what you're thinking. No, it's not Brooke calling us from the other room.

Brooke, say hi just to prove that you're here. Hi, it's me. See, she's happy. All right. I usually am. No, it's one of our listeners who says she's furious after her date left her in the most embarrassing situation of her life. Oh. And now she wants our help getting not just answers from the guy,

but revenge on him. Oh, my God. We're always down for a little revenge trip. Are we calling a hitman? What are we doing? Well, God, glad you jumped there. We're not going that far. I have my brain's all over the part.

You're going to hear what went down in your second date update right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. We got an email from a listener, and I'll just read the subject line. Okay. It says, there's a scamming coward on the dating apps, and you need to help me accept. expose him.

Oh, juicy. And his name is Scotty don't. Come on. Stop it, it is not. I'm just kidding. It's an inside joke on the show right now. So we're going to put that aside with the bottle of peach snobs and everything else that's waiting up in his hotel room. Let's focus on our caller here because she did seem pretty heated in her email.

Just on the subject line alone, you could tell. Let's talk to Lindsay. Lindsay, welcome to the show. Hi. Oh, already coming in hot just with that high. I love it, Lindsay. You caught a scammer on your dating app? What's going on?

Yeah, I did. And I want to call him. I want to call him. All right. Let's take a deep breath. Yeah. I like this energy. We'll get him.

We'll get into him. Can we know what's this guy's name? His name is Alex. And honestly, don't even call him a guy. He's a boy. Wow. Like, a cowardly little shit. Oh, what happened?

Is it? Okay. Lindsay, we're on the radio. Yeah, we got to watch the language just a little bit, but I appreciate the passion that you have. What happened? Well, we got dinner and it was going great. I felt like we were really connecting, having a good time.

He seemed more into me than I was into him. Okay. And towards the end of the meal, he gets up to go to the bathroom and never comes back. Oh, no. We have talked to people that have done this or had it done to them. Yeah. That's really. I've heard of this happening online.

I never thought this would happen to me. And it was humiliating. I felt like an idiot. Oh, God. How long did you sit there? Did you get the waiter to, like, go check on him or what? Yeah, okay. So after like 15, 20 minutes, I was like, maybe we can check the bathroom.

Is he okay? I actually got worried about him. And he wasn't even there. He was gone. Oh, man. No tax. Okay, I hate to ask, but usually the people who do this aren't enjoying the date. Do you think maybe it was going back?

Alexis coming in strong saying you did something wrong. The people that call us usually did it have a really good reason. She's right. I mean, come on. He doesn't like you so much he left, right? As I said, he seemed more into me than I was into him. He was so flirty and funny. And like, who does this? What kind of garbage piece of crap human? Okay. Okay. And leaves their date at the end of the date all by yourself. Yeah.

You know the date's going bad. You just don't call her back. You have a lot of reason to be upset, but I don't know that he is going to hear you if we're coming in at that. level. You know what I mean? Like, what do you want out of this? You want to call him out and then what? I want to know what made him do that. So you want to know why. Well, it's good that we're going to talk and not you, because it sounds like you're just getting yelled at it. This is definitely different because

most of the people that reach out to us want another date with the person that we're about to call. Lindsay, you have no interest whatsoever. No, I want you to call him and then I'm going to come on the phone and lean him out. Okay. Oh. Okay. Okay.

I'm here for that. I don't know. Like, what if he's has a good reason. Brooke, there is no good reason a man should ever do that to a woman. We have heard where people have had like bathroom emergencies where they can't go back to the table. He could have texted her and said something to her. Like, have you reached out to him since that?

Since that happened? Yes, I've texted him a lot. He had plenty of opportunities to write me back and let me know if something went wrong in the bathroom, which he didn't. I'm assuming you called him a bunch of mean names in the text message. I mean, I started off nice and then he didn't answer. So he doesn't deserve me being nice. He doesn't get that.

He does not get that. What's interesting, I mean, as soon as we tell this guy who we're calling for, he's going to hang up on us. Why? Because he knows. He knows how mad she is. She's already been texting him. Well, he won't know that she's on the line until we surprise her with that. I mean, maybe he wants to out her.

Maybe this is his chance, right? If it's something he thinks she did. Not that I support that. Women don't do things wrong in the dating world. Brooke, I'd learn this. We know that. We know that. I bet he's done this to like 100 women.

So he can't get away with it. And he has to defend himself or say something. Oh. You think he does this like all the time. He gets free food from women and walks out. It's nothing to do with you. I bet he does. Okay.

Because he was acting so smooth and funny, flurry. I can make these guys like a book. Okay. So the only reason that you reached out to us here is just because the idea of not knowing why he left that night is probably just killing you right now. And if he's going to humiliate me, I'm going to humiliate him on the radio. Okay. We're not just doing this for Lindsay today.

We're doing this for women everywhere who have gotten stood up and walked out of in the middle of dinner. Let's get him, ladies. Come on. You don't even know if he's a scammer. No, sick of him. We are going to be merciless when we come back and do the most brutal second date part two we've ever done. You're a guy, I would not answer your phone in the next five minutes. Well, please answer so that we can have something to air.

But we're going to do it right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. This is a little tense because there's a woman, listener of ours, on the phone right now, who is out for blood. Ooh, yes, she is. Claws are out. Because in her mind, and I do kind of agree with her here, there is no reason for a guy to get up and leave a table at the end of the the date, sneak out of the restaurant, and stick her with the entire bill.

And that's the thing. He ate his dinner. It's not like he left in the middle and like some emergency. But that's what happened. That's a good point, Jeff. That's what happened to Lindsay? Or, I mean, at least I think she got stuck with the bill. Well, what happened with the bill, Lindsay?

Did you pay it? Oh, yeah. The whole thing. Yeah. So that's another thing. He left me to cover the bill. The waiter saw me sitting there for a half hour and saw how upset he was. And he generously covered.

covered my bill, which was so nice. Oh, nice. Told the manager to take it off the bill. You maybe paid for himself. You didn't have to pay? Yeah, I didn't have to pay, but the humiliation of being left alone there was the worst part of it. Okay. Alexis is humiliated just sitting alone at her desk sometimes. She hates being alone.

Even if I wasn't stood up. I can't. It's shameful. But Brooke, I think we need a game plan so we all don't jump on Alex and get angry right off the bat. I mean, I think first of all, we shouldn't accuse him of anything. don't know from his side what happens. You liar! All we know is he left. That's a fad.

You would say that, wouldn't she, Brooke? There could be a reason. Even if his reason sucks, you want to hear it. That's the whole point of you calling in, right? You want to hear it. He better be in the hospital when we call him, and even then I won't forgive him. And the only way we're going to hear it is if we come in not accusatory. Okay.

Okay, but like we're all on my side, right? Yes. Well, the guys are. The girls do not seem to be. No, I mean, right now, yeah. I haven't heard the other side of the story yet. I don't care what the other side of the story is personally, but you know what? I'm going to dial Alex and we're going to be on our best behavior.

Hopefully he picks up. Here we go. Okay. Let's see what he says. Okay. All right. I'm going to make sense. I kind of like it. Here we go.

Hello. Hey, we're looking to speak with Alex. This is he. Hey, Alex. Hope you're having a good day. Hello. Hello. Sorry, Alex.

just laughing at Jeffrey right now. Hi. I know. Who's Jeffrey? That's me. I'm a radio host on the show, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hey, Alex.

Wait, what? The whole show's here, man. Yeah, you're on the radio right now. We're just hoping to have a nice, calm, pleasant conversation with you today. About what? A date you went on recently with one of our listeners. Her name is Lindsay.

Please don't hang up. Yeah, come on. We just talk for a second. Oh, my God. Okay. Oh, man. Yeah, so we heard from her that you two went out to dinner recently. Which she thought was going great.

She really was enjoying her time with you. And then there was the bad part of dinner, which happened when you went missing from the restaurant. Like, yep. Okay. Yeah, you're just going to own that? You're not going to apologize immediately? So you admit that happened. You walked out?

I take full credit for that. What? Credit? There's got to be. Wow. That's like a pride thing when you take credit or something. What do you mean? Because she probably didn't share with you that I saw her and her little friend before the date.

What little friend? What's a little friend? Like we're talking about a leprechaun? I don't know her little friend's name, her little girlfriend. They were about a block away from the restaurant. Her and her friend were involved in something else so they didn't notice me. What do you see them do that's so terrible? Her friend is like, seems like she's coaching her for something.

So Lindsay says to her friend, my Uber app is not working. Can you pay for me? And she like backs her eyes. And what? And she battered her eyes. So her Uber app wasn't working? And her friend said, no, just see it a little more believably. What?

Oh, she's coaching her to act. Exactly. Exactly. So she wouldn't have to pay for an Uber home? She was like, my Uber app's not working. Can you pay for me? It was like sociopathic the way she did it. So you think.

Soceopathic the way I did it? Oh, God. Oh, no. There's no way she's sociopathic. Okay. Wait a minute. Who the hell is? We have to let Alex know that that is Lindsay on the line.

Uh-huh. Oh, I would never. Trust us, we did not coach her to say that. What I'm hearing, what I'm hearing, Alex, is that. you're, so guys aren't supposed to help a girl get home safely? Well, after a date? The thing is, Lindsay, you jumped in too soon so we couldn't get to what Alex was thinking. What was going through your mind, Alex?

I was thinking, and I feel like I have proof because I witnessed your friend coaching you in getting me to like pay for your Uber and you playing this like damsel and distress act just to get free stuff out of me. Do you know what he's talking about, Lindsay? I was expecting to be able to get help getting home. I just said that and there's nothing wrong with that. And so your answer to that was to get up and just leave dinner at the end and leave me the bill. Like, I don't know, like an immature loser.

Well, what the hell? I mean, if you, and here's a question. Wait, wait, wait, I want to know, like, if you heard it before the date even started, why did you do the date? Because here's the thing. As soon as I heard her planning to do that, I already knew she was going to manipulate me. So I was like, I'm going to be... Manipulate you? So you...

Oh, my God. God forbid. A guy helps a girl get home. You know, usually people do that. But you were practicing over and over again, and you two were laughing about it. This is not you asking for help. Yeah, we're laughing for girls.

And we think, like, I was cute. So what? Do you not laugh with your friends? Like, geez, I, you made this evil plan in response to leave me, and, like, an idiot in the middle of the restaurant all alone. Like, oh, God. You're the social past one. I ordered the most expensive thing on the menu.

Oh, no. Okay. So this just confirms you are just a little shit. Oh, my. Yeah, if anything, you guys are both a little bit of manipulators. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I only scam the scammer. I was ready to have a genuine date with her.

Okay. Oh, shut up. Shut up. I was to get home after a few drinks safely, and you decided up on a plan of just, I don't know, make a, make, You just want to make someone feel small. You want to make women feel small. What?

You are not women. You are one person. Oh, great. So now I'm not a woman who deserves to be not left and abandoned at a restaurant. What are in? Talking about why can't you afford your own Uber? Yeah. You're fine.

You guys are not getting it. She was practicing that her Uber wasn't working. She can totally afford it. She just wants to make a fool out of somebody. Okay. Okay, so chivalry is dead. Thank you. No, that's not chivalry.

Lindsay, it is a little bit suss that you're practicing the line to say to like be like, can you pay for my broken app? Oh, no. It's more than suss. It's like you got caught, girl. You got caught scamming him for an Uber ride. I was not scamming. What do you mean you're not scamming? You're lying.

You're lying to get what you need. I am just a shame that Brooke was on Lindsay's side this entire time. This is what happens. Yeah. Like, maybe Brooke can not be part of this anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

Thank you for taking my side, Lindsay. I think Brooke sounds like a genuine individual who could totally afford her own overright home. Oh, man. Clearly, Brooke, there's always two sides to every story, and you're on the wrong one. Every time. I've never heard anyone in that room say that before that there's two sides. I didn't hear that at all. So weird.

Look, I mean, at this point, we're running out of time, so I just have to ask. We would like, I don't know there there could be a lot of hot passion there. Because we always offer to send you guys out on another date, a date that we would pay for if you're both willing to agree to it. Just don't tie. No, I can find a man

who doesn't mind getting me home after a few drinks. I don't mind getting you home after a few drinks. That's why I'm offering to pay. I mean, Lindsay, I'm actually kind of down at this point. Don't fall for it, Lindsay. He's luring you in for another trap. What could I

possibly weave this time. Dude, and in the end, Alex, I don't know if you know this, but she never even paid for the dinner. Yeah, I don't feel too, babe. Yeah, so, fuck you. The waiter constantly. Oh, my God. You know what?

You know what? That makes me even happier that this is all happening on the radio. What's happening on the radio? That she is getting completely exposed for being the liar manipulator that she is. Oh, my God. This is funny now. Alex? Oh my God. Stop it. You can't spin this around.

See? She thinks she's in the right now. Fakes one to no one, babe. All right. I think we've gotten pretty far in understanding what happens. We finally reached common ground. No, they both don't think they're in the right. Thank God you were such a champion of women, Jeffrey. That's right. I fixed all the problems. You're welcome.

It's 1969. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. had both been assassinated, and Black America was out of breaking point. Writing and protests broke out on an unprecedented scale. In Atlanta, Georgia, at Martin's Almemata, Morehouse College, the students had their own protest. It featured two prominent figures in black history,

Martin Luther King, Sr., and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson. To be in what we really thought was a revolution, People would die. In 1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago. This story is about protest. It echoes in today's world far more than it should, and it will blow your mind. Listen to the A-building on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I feel like it's pretty clear, and maybe this is just my observation. But I feel like it's a super rare occurrence for Lindsay to be held accountable for anything she's ever done wrong. Yeah. It sounds like it. Yeah, she just bats her eyes and says, what means? Yeah. I love at the end how her thing was, oh, well, shibbary's dead. Yeah.

That's what this means. I mean, that's not what this means at all. Wait a minute. I thought you two were going to champion her no matter what happened. Remember that talk? We tried, but someone took us over, right? I'm all about hearing people out. Yeah.

No, that's not what you said. Very fair. Who would have thought the two girls in the room had the right sense of the crazy phone? Who would have the girls? No idea. But what if he wouldn't have seen her practicing her Uber app lie out on the side of the road? Then he would have paid for her Uber. He would have been.

He would have paid for the Uber. There would have been no drama. They would never have even been on the show. I mean, they could be two kids deep by this point. Yeah. See, I think the real lesson is practice your scam lines in private. Or at least in the women's race. restroom where the men can't you. There it is.

Okay. Remember that, ladies. Thank you for the always again. Champany. That's right. Got your back, ladies. We're ready to be scammed by you. We just don't want to know about it, okay?

And text in, email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back. Go check out all of our second day podcast wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We all have at least one choice that we made in life that we totally regret. I have so many. Yeah, just even the way you said regret. Yeah, I also regret.

Very regrettable. And let's be honest, alcohol is usually involved. Hey, boys. Hey, how you doing? What a coincidence. You're right. I think all of mine involved alcohol. Does Brooke even regret that, though?

No. But have you ever made one tiny decision thinking, oh, it'll be fine? Yeah. Only to end up in the hospital from it. Oh, no. No. That's what happened to one of our listeners. right in the middle of his first date.

Oh, my God. And he can't believe he was naive enough to make this dumb, totally avoidable choice. You're going to hear it in a special Valentine's episode of the Second Date Update. Coming up right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second Date update.

Valentine's Day can be a dangerous holiday for a single person to try and meet someone. A lot of pressure. You kind of already have something locked in by then. You do. You put a lot of pressure on yourself for it to work. Just look at college-aged me in my infamous Valentine's Day massacre. Oh, boy.

It started with a certain hunky frat boy inviting two lucky ladies to one party. And ended with said frat boy, drunk alone in his room, crying and kicking a hole in the ceiling above his top bunk. Because he struck out with both ladies that night. Wow. They literally left together. Can't imagine why. They missed out. Oh, yeah, they did.

Just saying, dating around this particular holiday isn't always the best idea. And I'm not really sure how today's caller Reese feels about it. Reese, you have a bunch of holes in your house somewhere right now? Not for that reason. Oh, that's good. That's good. You're not lying on a top bunk of a frat house. Did it bring a girl back to your frat?

Only Jeff could have two girls in his room in a frat house and ruin it. Like that's, you already mission accomplished. Talent, I know. Whatever anti-game, that's him. Yeah. Okay. You're going a little harsh. Sorry.

Sorry. But Reese. You brought it up. Just to laugh at it. Anyway, Reese, so you went out with a girl pretty close to Valentine's Day. Were you feeling the pressure? Not really because it wasn't really thinking about it at that time. Oh, okay.

Okay. Basically, the background is I had gone through a pretty, rough breakup a few months prior. And I was trying to get back in the game. Yeah, good for you. Thank you. I met Jen, her and I matched. And I kind of realized after like we sort of clicked and we started talking, like I didn't

want to wait until after Valentine's Day to ask her out. Right. Because you could totally lose momentum if you wait too long. You got to strike while it was hot. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So I was eager.

And kind of realizing at that time that it was close to Valentine's Day. day. Oh, yeah. Well, as you start to book things and everything's sold out. I can't make a reservation. Exactly. And that's why we decided to do something different other than a restaurant. Like, I didn't want to make her feel weird at a place where there's only

couples and stuff like that. So you invited two girls to one frat party. And that's when the good stuff happened. Don't feel weird. It's just us, lady. Yeah. And a whole room full of other men. Did you call the right show for that to blow up in your face? You just took out Jen, though, right? Yeah, yeah.

Sorry, we're just making fun of Jeffrey for his past. Not you, man, not you. I mean, a certain frat guy was brave enough to invite two at once, but, you know, if you're not brave enough to do it, not a lot of art. You accomplish that, bro. I get it. Okay, so where did you and Jen go? So she actually suggested a bar, they were having, like, in all things pink night.

Oh, that's cute. What does that mean? It's like a Valenzine's Day-ish. It's like pink clothes, pink drinks, pink food. Oh, that's starly. I see that. Yeah. Okay.

And so we go in and I excuse myself to the restaurant quick and while I'm doing that, she ordered us two pink strawberry daffries. Oh, yeah, got to stay on theme. Okay. That makes sense. Sounds good. Here's where I messed up. Uh-oh.

Is I'm diabetic. She doesn't know I'm diabetic. Oh. Okay. I look at the drink and I think to myself, I can handle one. Yeah. You know, my blood sugar is probably going to be. going to spike. Okay. I'll get home. I'll take my insulin and I'll just monitor the out.

You will follow it up with a cake to wash it down. Well, I miscalculated it. Uh-oh. Wait, what does that mean? Well, I started having an episode. Oh, no. So I needed medical attention. And the thing is, there was a moment where I couldn't really talk. And I wrote on a napkin and I slid it to Jen and I slid the word hospital. Oh my God. I hate to keep drawing parallels between this and the Valentine's Day massacre at the frat. But it keeps lining up. You are not diabetic.

No, I'm just saying. There's bad experience. Dude, that's scary. That's scary. I'd be so scared on a date with someone, too, and you don't know what's happening. What happens? Well, she doesn't even know your diabetic. I'd be so scary.

Yeah, she doesn't quite understand what the note means, and she references to someone else and that other person goes, maybe he's epileptic. You should shove a wallet in his mouth. What? Oh, so you don't bite your tongue? Oh, this is a fun Valentine's Day party game. Everybody take your wallets out. I'm just going to go hot tip.

If you're having a seizure, you usually can't write at the same time. Right. Managing to scribble diabetic on a napkin, which then Jen gets. Oh. And she's got to drive me to the hospital. Oh, my God. What a first date experience. So things are a little foggy.

Right. And I kind of come to and I realize, like, all of a sudden, she's not there. and I'm surrounded by doctors, and it was a very chaotic night. You tell the thing, I'm glad you're okay. That's traumatic. Did you get a kiss at the end of the night? He doesn't remember. Maybe by the nurse on his forehead.

Probably not the right, yeah. The next morning, I send her a text and say, hey, I'm good. I'm so sorry about last night. And she responds back. It was like, hey, just glad you're all right. And then that's pretty much it. And I haven't heard anything since.

Oh, no. Okay. I mean, obviously, not like your fall out of your control, but also really traumatizing for her, too, you know? When I think about what she saw, she thinks like, oh, anytime he has one drink, he's going to need to go to the hospital. I don't want to date a guy like that. Oh, she might have been right. I don't think anybody would think that. I think she would have more empathy than not.

That would be terrible. You could drink plenty of other things. Let's see how empathetic this woman really is when we give Jenna call. Hopefully she picks up and see what she asks to say when we do your Valentine's edition of Saturday. Second Date update right after this. Hold on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. A Valentine's themed date that ends in the hospital.

Oh. For some of us, wouldn't be the worst Valentine's that we've ever had. Okay, Jeff. Get over the night in the frat house. It was for our listener, Reese, who was a diabetic and took a chance, drank a pink strawberry daffery during his date, thinking that he could handle just one. And fast forward to him being driven to the hospital by his date, Jen, where he had to be treated by doctors.

It's all kind of a fuzzy experience to him because he was going through an episode. You poor thing. But afterwards, Jen was gone and hasn't responded really to him since. LeBrook, you've had worse Valentine's recently, right? Give him a little bit of hope. No, honestly, if this girl isn't calling you back because it freaked her out, that is somewhat understandable. But once I feel like she talks to you, she's really. really going to understand the situation and just have a lot of empathy for you.

I can't imagine her not giving you another chance. How do you feel about that, Reese? I feel like if she's got empathy, she would have gone out with me already, and I really don't understand. She drove you to the hospital. Yeah, but I haven't talked to him since. Alexa, she needs to do more than that. My mom drives me to the hospital.

Wait, what? And I don't want from my mom what Reese wants from Jen, hopefully not. That's not adding up. Who knows? Who knows? Maybe it's not the hospital or the diabetes. Maybe you had bad breath and you didn't realize it. You know what I mean?

Maybe in your blackout drawing on napkins, you were like, show me your boo. You know, like you wrote something and forgot. You want us to speculate a hundred more things that could have gone wrong, or should we just call this girl? No, speculate. I like what we're going. Please call her. Yeah, good choice, good, solid. Let's dial Jen.

We'll see if she answers. You just sit tight there. Here we go. Hello. Hey, is this Jen? Yes, speaking. Hey, Jen. This is a radio show.

We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. How are you doing? Oh, yeah, I'm okay. How are you guys? Thanks for asking, Jen. Usually people aren't that polite. We're very well. It was kind of an empathetic move there.

It was. Oh, good point, Jeff. So that's good news for you, Jen. What's a radio station calling me? Okay, I'll give you five guesses. No, just tell her. Okay, that was unfair. Ten guesses.

He's just going to tell you right now. Oh, well, That's no fun. Sure. We'll take the joy out of it. This is called Second Date Update. And we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you went out on a date with recently named Reese. Hey.

Very memorable night. Yeah. Reese. Uh-oh. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. Dude.

It sounds like that night was crazy. Yeah. Oh. Okay. Great. You got the rundown. Yeah. We spoke to him a little bit just to kind of snapshot of what happened that night.

he told us that you're not really responding for another date at all. And he doesn't really understand why. Well, yeah, I mean, I'm not answering him back. That's accurate. Oh, I see. Do you hate diabetics? Is that what's going on? No.

I've had a few of those people. Answer this, you know, carefully. Oh, my gosh. No, literally nothing to do with that. I don't hate people who have diabetes. I hate people who have girlfriend already. Girlfriends Wait, what did you just say?

What? I hate people who already have girlfriends. He doesn't have a girlfriend. Well, we didn't ask him. Yeah, but he wouldn't come on here and be like, go call the girlfriend. Wait, really? Are you saying? You're saying that he's in a relationship, you think?

Why do you think that? Okay, well, if he gave you the rundown, I'm assuming he told you that I took him to the hospital, right? Yeah. Because he was having an episode and you were like his savior. She needed insulin. Yes, I was his savior, but somebody else was his emergency contact, I guess, because I'm sitting in the reception area. And this woman comes in and she's asking for Reese. She's saying that she's his emergency contact.

She's saying that she's his girlfriend. Oh, my. And they took her back there to see him. Okay, okay. Okay, objectively looks really bad. But the thing is, obviously, we don't know. everything about Reese and his situation. Maybe there was another Reese having a different diabetic. It's like a job application where my past boss is really my best friend. I don't think it's

like those things, but do you remember when we first talked to me, he mentioned that he went through a bad breakup with somebody a little while back? Oh, I forgot that. Maybe it's his like ex-girlfriend who's listed as his girlfriend. And he hasn't changed his info. Like how often do you update your emergency contact stuff like that? It's possible. I mean, we don't know. The thing is we could ask Reese right now because he's been on the phone this old time listening. What the heck? Well, I think that this is something he actually needs to hear. That's annoying.

It's a little bit of clarity. Reese, are you there? Yeah, hi, Jen. Hi, Reese. Uh-oh, Reese. So I guess I was just wondering what's going on. Why haven't you gotten back with me? Reese.

What are you? Are you curious? Dude, why are you not coming in and saying, I'm sorry, there's a misunderstanding? Let me clear it up. I mean, do we really have to talk about that? Oh, no. It's pretty important to her, and I think to all of our listeners at this point. Are you in a relationship?

Okay, look. So here, like, yes. What? What's the guy? What's the guy? You just said you broke up with your ex and we were heartbroken and you were finally back in the dating pool. Yes. Yeah.

I mean, when you do stuff on the radio, I mean, you might say a lot of stuff. What? Oh, no. You're trying to make yourself look good? Bro, you're using us to cheat. Jen, I kind of feel like his girlfriend might know, though. Just say it was your ex-girlfriend and we're good. Good, Jeff!

You were just joking again. It's too late. You saying girlfriend. Wow. Ex. Jen, I'm sorry. This is very messy, very sloppy. Sloppy work, y'all.

Y'all said have vetted him. Yeah. Yeah, Jeff. Like, okay, Jen, like, yes, I'm in a relationship, but I'm not happy. And I want to see what was out there. You're testing a water. Before you break up with her? This just feels like your hole is getting dug deeper and deeper, man.

I'm sorry. I guess so, Jen, I mean, does this ruin our chances? Yeah, Reese, you've kind of created a big mess for yourself. So I don't know what it is that you want to say to Jen, but. All right. I'm just saying, Jen, like, I'm not happy. And I feel like if you want to have, like, an actual Valentine's Day together, like, we can do that.

We can have, like, a legit. Oh, my gosh. You're just a big walking red flag. Oh, like Valentine's. You got a free ambulance ride. And let's just chalk it up to that, okay? You got lucky. Are you saying that him telling you how sad he is doesn't make you want to date him right now?

That usually works. It really is. It's tugging at my heartstrings. That was sarcasm, Jeff. Well, yeah. Yeah. Dude, why don't you just break up with your girlfriend? I don't understand this.

I don't know that I want to do that either. Oh, my God, you're the worst. You know what? I'm almost regarding taking him to the hospital. No. Oh. Okay. That was so low.

No. That was even too low for me. It's a little far, Jen. Although, we understand the sentiment. Somebody would call an ambulance. Okay. So are you worried that your girlfriend's going to hear this or does she know?

I'm not worried yet. Because the thing is, Jen could be his new girlfriend if she says yes to this question. And then she'd have two girls in his room like someone I know did one time. I'm telling you, it works for the friend guys. The girls were never in Jeff's room.

Bottom line, Jen, is we would love to pay, not love, but we will. We'll pay for the second date with Reese. That's funny. Our boss doesn't like that. Yeah. Come on. And it's like, it's a not a no.

It's a hell no. Okay. Good choice, Jeff. Did not see that coming. Rees blindsided by that one. I'm sure. Love is wild. At least you have a backup.

You can always go back to your girlfriend. He has his left. Plan B is his girlfriend. That's great. Plan B. I don't know. Inviting two girls into the studio. See?

But you know what, give him some points, Brooke Because he was honest at least Admitted that he had a girlfriend After he got exposed He admitted it though He got there, got to the honesty You think he went home and was honest with his girlfriend friends suddenly. I doubt it, Jeff.

Who cares about that? He was honest with us. And yet, he was still trying to go out with Jen, even afterwards. See, it's that type of chutzpah that if I had back at the frat house, things would have turned out so much differently that night. Yeah, what, you're crying? Hey, before you ladies
