And listen, okay, the necessary evil of podcasts is we do have to run ads It's the only we can get paid. Yeah Spotify is the only way podcasts make revenue. Well, listen, we hear you we hear you where we place the mid-roll ads was a little annoying Okay. Yes, we're learning, we're adjusting, we're growing. Yeah!

Oh my God. Okay, Sorry. We got another ad But we really do love our listeners that we're so glad you're here with us It means the world and of course, we love to highlight some good comments before we get to the brand new second date Yes, someone with no name, but their username was 502. Okay. Okay. These segments are the highlight of my day I'm a driver for AutoZone and I get to listen to y'all all day. It helps the time go by faster. That's awesome. One of my kids' favorite things to sing is the AutoZone jingle. Oh, yeah.

Oh, my god. Just over and over again. Get in the zone. AutoZone. I mean, they say it all the time. I don't know. I have, in my family, we used to sing the other jingle. Uh-oh.

Starts with an O. I don't know that one. I don't know that one either. Oh, oh, oh. Oh. I'm not going to sing the other jingle With an oh But I probably need new car parts All right, we got a brand new podcast for you. We hope you enjoy it. Yes Thank you for enduring some ads to make sure that we can survive our lives Let's get this show started Thank you for enduring some ads to make sure that we can survive our lives. For that guy, I hope it's an AutoZone ad. Seriously. Hey, let's get this show started. Second date update.

I know nowadays people like to make fun of pickup lines, but the big question is, do they still work? I mean, shoot, it depends, man. Yeah. If it's clever enough and well thought out and it makes the other person chuckle a little bit, then why not try it? I saw one on the text line for Alexis the other day. Oh, a lot of them.

And it said, are you from France? Because madame, you fine? Madame is a French word. So you think you know it's a dad joke person and it's a no. Yeah. OK. I like that one. The truth is, some of the pickup lines

are more effective than others. It really that one. The truth is some of the pickup lines are more effective than others. It's really comes down to the creativity of some individuals and one very creative guy is on the phone with us right now. Dude, if he uses that shrimp cocktail line, hang up, hang up on him. Let's find out his name is Kyle. Kyle, welcome to the show, man. Yeah, Kyle, in your email, you said that you tried out a new pickup line on a girl. Tell us about how that went. Yeah, I'm kind of proud of it.

Are you? I met this bar with a few buddies of mine, and I noticed a really cute girl hanging out. We sort of had my eyes on her for a little while. We made eye contact a couple times, but she was also dancing with her girlfriends the whole night. So Anyway, there's no point. I decided I was gonna head home because I was tired and I was hungry. Okay, so Wait, when do you talk to her but I pulled up over each cuz I actually live right by the bar

Okay, okay. I'm gonna order food now for delivery to be delivered to my house, okay, but that's when I was like You know what? I'm gonna try my move. Okay So I put my order in and then I turn my phone screen to her What do you want to eat? Yep I like it, but I think the foods getting delivered to me at the bar Yeah, I mean I wouldn't think I'd invite to your house And you have to pay for the whole group then yeah Order right are you just letting her order? Yeah? What was the reaction?

Well her friends are actually still dancing at this point okay,, so it's just you. Because that is a risky $150 Uber. Yeah. Yeah. What did she do? So she asked my name, and I learned her name, her name's Jennifer. Oh, that's good. And then she grabbed the phone,

she starts scrolling through the food options. Yes! Oh, okay. Hey, the way to any woman's heart is through her stomach. Yeah. And you gotta get her on the hook now she's on. Yeah, and then I tell her, I say, if you want it, it's being delivered to my place. So you'll have to come walk with me to grab it. And I like this because she can go, whoa, I'm

not going to your place. And then you can simply go, oh, I'm sorry, I'll change the address to here. I mean, it is really risky for a woman to go back to somebody's place with a guy Kid candy, but yet tenders do a drunk girl at a bar I know where I've seen this before it was on three different Netflix crime Killer well, so that's the thing you're right. I mean she was a little bit Hesitant but the chicken tenders are on the line. So what is she gonna say? Exactly. She was like wow, you're forward and I said no, I'm just hungry. Oh That's what she started like interviewing me like I remember she said to me like okay, but you're not a murderer, right?

Oh, yeah, cuz murderers always tell you right up front Oh yeah, because murderers always tell you right up front in fair and wide. Dang it! It's an oath we take. I am a murderer. Good question, Jennifer. You have a good one, lady. Darn. That's fair.

You know, next thing I know, we're walking home to the bar. Hey. You did it. Worried about this junk girl's decisions, but yes. Yes. I mean, you sound like a really nice guy, so it worked out this time. Maybe that's why she's not calling you back someone else lured her in with chicken strips Strips at every door. Okay. How did the walk home go? It was great. We were talking. She's really chill

We were connecting or make a little laugh But anyway, we get to my plate and the over-eats guy is there with our food. Oh, he's already there. Yeah, for re-timing. And we sit on the front porch and we ate our meal together. Aww. Oh, nice.

And you ate outside, that's actually good. I'm sure she didn't feel pressure to go in or. Yeah, I thought about inviting her inside, but I don't know, I figured it would be kind of a sleazy move or something And she told me I was like I actually was hungry and tired All right How did you guys leave it at the end of the night

So she thanked me and we hugged and I called her an Uber to come pick her up and take her home and I was that. Oh, no kiss, huh? No, no, no, there was no kiss, but it was really, I don't know, it was sweet. And you felt a couple of weeks ago. Oh, and you haven't heard from her at all. Well, no, I've heard from her a little bit, but it's kind of she's not responding that much.

It's like a few words here and there, you know? Yeah, that's interesting. Can you get a read on like anything that gives you a guess into what's going on? I mean, look, I'm probably not the world's best looking guy. I don't know. Maybe it's like she saw me under the lights when we got back to my apartment.

I assumed before she just wanted a meal. Yeah, seriously. Girls will talk to a creepy guy for 30 minutes for a free vodka cram they will marry a guy for 10 years for that free meal so let's figure this out we have a little bit of time to kill before we reach out to Jennifer so how about you put in an uber eats order for all of us here I'll take a cheeseburger Alexis what do you want? chicken tenders okay do we have fried pickles on the menu?

Okay. Now the order is getting too big. And you're getting really specific with the stuff. I just wanted to get a salad. No, it's too much. I wanted a milkshake. Kyle, you know what? Forget it. Oh, that's a good one. Okay. Just get the cheeseburger. Oh, hell yeah.

And then we'll come back. We'll do your second date update right after this. Cider Ranch? Second date update. Did we just hear the pickup line of the year? Dude, it's pretty amazing, I'm not gonna lie. We definitely have a contender, because our listener Kyle went out to a bar recently, went up to a very pretty woman,

just handed her his phone with the Uber Eats app up and said, what do you want to order? Yeah. What's even more amazing is he got her to leave with him while her girlfriends were still at the bar. Yeah. That is like an impossible feat. That's right, she was skeptical,

but next thing you know, she was eating chicken tenders with him on his front porch at his place. Yeah, that's pretty cute. So that is a success It's one win and we want to double it up today. Let's go for two two victories with this girl. Are you with me Kyle? I'm with you. Okay You're not gonna lead the revolution. I don't think Excitement, I don't want to leave the revolution. I just want another date

Okay, we'll charge in for you. My cheeseburger hasn't arrived yet, though So I am getting a little bit irritated a little hangry and I'm hoping drivers in this building. Yeah You have to pause mid Kyle any ETA on that Uber Eats? You'll see there We hear a knock at the studio door, we all need to pause, all right? This is important.

But first, let's dial Jennifer. We'll see if she answers and try and get you another date. But here we go. [? BEEPING.?] [? BEEPING.?] [? BEEPING.?] Hello? Hi, is this Jennifer?

Yeah, who's this? Hey, we're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Hey, Jennifer. Hey. Bringing the world together one chicken strip at a time. That's our motto. That's our slogan.

Yeah, our tagline is not your typical morning show, but that's Brooke's personal tagline. Hey, healing the world, Jeff. Yeah, so how you doing? Um, I'm good. Hey, heal in the world, Jeff. Yeah, so how you doing? I'm good. Probably confused. Yeah, we get that reaction a lot, but we're doing a segment with you here.

It's called Second Date Update. Okay. Okay. And we're reaching out because one of our listeners has asked us to get a hold of you, a guy named Kyle. Oh. Do you remember Kyle? You guys hung out the other night at like a at a bar. I think it was a couple weeks ago. A couple weeks ago. Yeah. You went home and had some chicken tenders with him on his front porch. Oh yeah. Oh gosh. Okay. So maybe someone was more drunk than Kyle realized.

He didn't mention the food, not his name. Yeah, yeah, yeah maybe someone was more drunk than Okay, do you remember eating chicken strips Yeah, I remember. Okay. That's good. Well, it was a very memorable night for Kyle and he told us all about it We're just trying to hopefully pry into your brain a little bit and see how you felt about it. Oh Okay Particularly what would really help is if there was anything that went wrong pry into your brain a little bit and see how you felt about it. Oh, okay. Well. Particularly what would really help is if there was anything that went wrong for you. Yeah, there's a reason why you're not interested in him.

Because he's been trying to get ahold of you for the last two weeks. He said he's been having a hard time. Yeah. I guess the only bad thing that happened was it was kind of rude and weird of him to eat some of my food that I ordered like I know he was offering but we don't know that part of the story all we heard is

that he ordered something and he let you order chicken tenders and you went back to his place and you ate him no but he missed the part where when we got the food he was like let's put the food down in the middle of the steps like family style and I didn't really want any of what he ordered for himself so he he ended up eating all of his food and basically half of mine and Kind of a turn-off for me. I can see you didn't want to share your chicken That's just a really shareable meal. I understand why he would assume that it's a shared plate. Well that wasn't my expectation.

He just kind of said whatever you want. Well sometimes on dates, gentlemen like to taste the women's food to make sure it's not poisoned. Yeah, that's what it is. Yes, it could have been protecting you. I don't think that that's the reason okay I think it's just like you guys have two different styles

right you just met you don't know like some people love to share food some people don't I'm sure if you would have told them then he would have been like oh my god I'm so sorry did you let him No, but there was another issue that bothered me too. Oh, okay. Besides the family style meal. Let me guess. He took a sip of your water. What was it? I mean, he kept talking about how he's not into the casual dating scene and he

wants to have something really serious and wants to find his soulmate. Meanwhile, he has ranch dressing all over his face. At the end of a drunken club night that's not the deep talk he probably thought it was. He said he wasn't drunk. I don't really know, he said he wasn't that drunk. Not as drunk as he usually gets. Remember it's kind of hazy to her.

Dude and I'm sorry that ranch dressing in the corner of people's mouths. It's gross. I could see how that was a little hard. You were turned off. Yeah. Yeah. Gotcha. But you know, that's just one moment.

Like, at least he's a guy who wasn't looking for a one-night stand. Exactly. So forget about that moment, and let's focus on a happier moment. This one, where I tell you that he's on the other line, quietly listening in on this conversation. What up, ranch lips?

That's a nice moment. Oh my god Kyle are you there? Oh, I'm here. What up, man? Hey Kyle talk to Jennifer. Yeah, I Kind of can't believe that you feel this way. I mean, you didn't say no when I asked if we could share. Oh. Oh, you did ask. I mean, what was I supposed to say?

You were the one who ordered the food. I kind of see her point though. It feels rude to say no, you can't have any of the things you paid for. Yeah, I wouldn't have been polite and you just kept eating the food like you kept eating more and more When my husband takes some of my fries he takes like a whole handful. I'm like just eat it one at a time You're giving me anxiety. It's all gonna be gone. Yeah, you gotta read the room if they're not touching your side

Yeah, I mean Kyle I understand that you paid for it, but can you see where she is coming from, how it bothered her? I don't know, I thought you were giving me the green light. You were smiling at me. You ate like a bird. Yeah, I ate like a bird because you had all the food. Okay. Only crumbs left. And Bruns love french fries. You don't want to put your hand in a hungry tiger's cage, you know?

The reason why you didn't call me back and why you wouldn't really answer my messages is because you saw that I only tipped a dollar. What? You only tipped a dollar? Wait, why would you only tip a dollar with a 50 cent bill? On the receipt for the Uber Eats, Kyle? Yeah, we met the Uber Eats guy. He was waiting for us there and then he was looking at me weird and anyway I tipped him a dollar

did you see that Jennifer cuz he didn't tell us about that I had no idea until right now Okay. Nice. Good. Thanks. No wonder he offered to pay. Did you, was it an accident that only one dollar thing? No, he explained, remember?

You look at him funny. Yeah. That's all it took. The driver waited for you with the food too. I know! Probably expecting a bump in tip afterwards. Oh. I didn't order that much food.

A dollar is like, it's like almost 10% anyway. What? Oh no. Dude, two orders on an Uber Eats, no matter where you get it from, is at least $30. $4,000. Yeah, exactly. It's not looking great for you right now, that's just my opinion. But who knows, maybe bad tipping could be a turn-on to Jennifer.

Jennifer? Ooh, good with his money. What do you think about someone who likes to save? It's definitely not a turn-on I can tell you that Kyle I mean as do you have any last words here before I ask the question yeah I mean I didn't murder you on the way home like you thought I was going to that's something yeah and look Jennifer with the grace of not being killed that night I'm going to ask you if you would like to go out with Kyle one more time. That's how low the bar is.

Yeah! He also promises not to murder you the second date. He's a good guy. I'm not even gonna offer to pay for the tip on your date. Oh, he's gonna take it. Yeah. I'm not going to. Kyle is generously gonna cover with one whole dollar. Wow! If you'll agree.

Maybe like 35 cents. Maybe. If you agree to see him one whole dollar. Wow. It feels agree. Maybe like 35 cents. Maybe, if you agree to see him one more time. I couldn't be the least amount of attracted to another human being like him. Like I just can't. Wow. Oh wow. So I think that's a no Jeff.

Okay. So did you just call Jeff and I hot? We're gonna read between the lines here and say that's a negatory. I've got my underwear, eat it right now. Are you sure? Cause you can order something, whatever you want. Last ditch effort. Kyle, you can order something, whatever you want.

Last ditch, Effer. Kyle, you'll probably eat half of it anyway. That's not wrong. Kyle, my cheeseburger has still not arrived yet. Are you eating it right now? No, that's cause he's been blackballed from the app because of his tipping. Damn it, Kyle.

Look at Jeffrey in the morning. Ugh, we're so done with new year, new you. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Geminis because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention

because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you. Someone else will too. Be more you this year and We love that for you. Someone else will too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble. I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline.

He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me. Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community. She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing. No. How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done?

You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future. This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception. Lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew. Listen to Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, I'm going down my checklist here. Eats half of everyone's meal, has ranch dripping from the corners of his mouth while talking about finding a soulmate, tips one dollar or less on's not funny and refuses to murder on a first date

We unsuccessful Totally I'm blaming the room on this one for not pulling through and getting another day It's our fault should have been a layup with this guy I say out of all of them you weren't on his side as much as I thought you'd be. You know, I thought you'd stand up for him, or you told him in the middle, like, this is going south. Well, I don't appreciate when I'm not the cheapest guy in the room.

That's my role, and he was trying to steal that from me. So, not cool, Kyle. Not to mention my cheeseburger never arrived. Oh, that's right. I did, like I said. There's no way he's getting any orders No, I don't forgive a lot of people don't know this our entire show by the way and all of our second dates are up Available on YouTube if you want to listen go there search Brooke and Jeffrey and somebody order me a damn cheeseburger

You won't order it yourself. No, I will miss it. Just like when I get us lunch every day You won't order it yourself. No, I will not. This is just like when I get us lunch every day. Where's my burger? I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast, Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone. Most of all, his wife, Caroline. He texted, I've ruined our lives.
