Speaker 1: Second date of day. We have a listener who sent
Speaker 1: us an email asking for a second date, and these
Speaker 1: are her words. She said, it's tough being on the
Speaker 1: dating apps as a single mom, trying to find time
Speaker 1: to go out and also meet a guy who's open
Speaker 1: to the idea. But recently, I think I finally found
Speaker 1: someone who's actually worth it.
Speaker 2: Oh, let's fix it for what's wrong?
Speaker 3: Whoy?
Speaker 1: Didn't you know he's not calling me that.
Speaker 2: That's all right, that's why we got your bat.
Speaker 1: It's not good, but that's what we're here for. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to Eve about it. Eve, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4: Hi, thanks for having me.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, I can't wait to hear about this guy.
Speaker 5: What makes you think that he's finally worth it?
Speaker 4: Okay, So, like you said, I am a single mom.
Speaker 4: It's been hard to date. So when I do find
Speaker 4: somebody that I connect with, it's really nice because you know,
Speaker 4: it's worth it's worth a night out, it's worth a
Speaker 4: night sinner, it's worth getting dressed up for in that
Speaker 4: kind of thing.
Speaker 2: The babysitter, I know.
Speaker 5: I mean, there's so much that goes into like just
Speaker 5: even my husband and I going on a date. You know,
Speaker 5: the planning and the babysitters and then the canceling.
Speaker 2: Like I can't imagine.
Speaker 1: Do you cancel on your own husband?
Speaker 2: Okay, you the babysitters always kids.
Speaker 1: Oh I see, well that makes a little bit more sense.
Speaker 1: So you met him on the dating apps. Tell us
Speaker 1: how the date went.
Speaker 4: I thought the date went great. Reggie picked me up
Speaker 4: and to a salsa bar, like a dancing salsa bar.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a like a little sexy date.
Speaker 1: That's fun, like salsa or like dancing like the culture.
Speaker 5: Okay, no one eats just salsa.
Speaker 1: That's just saying that there's a business opportunity there for
Speaker 1: somebody who wants to jump in and take it.
Speaker 6: Actually there I just heard about recently, I would.
Speaker 1: Okay, so a dancing date.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so, you know, we we danced and we had
Speaker 4: a drink and it was really loud, but like it
Speaker 4: was really fun.
Speaker 2: Was he really good at dancing?
Speaker 5: Like my roommate got into salsa for a while and
Speaker 5: I would go to bars with her and the people
Speaker 5: who were into it were unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Dances would go to Latin dance night and that was
Speaker 1: the funnest time. But there's people on.
Speaker 2: The floor so good that are throwing each other.
Speaker 1: So what level were you at? Oh?
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, we were the level where we were
Speaker 4: doing our best and having.
Speaker 2: Bad that's perfect. I wondered, if you're on the same page.
Speaker 1: How far did he toss you across the room? How
Speaker 1: many people?
Speaker 4: Thank, not very far to go to the bathroom here?
Speaker 1: All right, it's so fun.
Speaker 2: That sounds like a great night.
Speaker 1: Sounds like you're connecting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we had such a great time. But you
Speaker 4: know those kinds of places, like they're really loud and
Speaker 4: it's hard to talk. So we went to another place
Speaker 4: after that where we could just talk and like get
Speaker 4: to know each other.
Speaker 2: Oh what about.
Speaker 5: Well, it sounds like this guy put a lot of
Speaker 5: thought into the day, you know, like he knew you're
Speaker 5: a busy single mom, that you needed to be treated
Speaker 5: and you.
Speaker 6: Just need to have fun, even if even if you
Speaker 6: don't like him at least.
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally. And like I really liked Reggy because he
Speaker 4: was a really good listener. You know, like a lot
Speaker 4: of guys these days, they only talk about themselves, like
Speaker 4: they don't ask any questions. So like talking with Reggie
Speaker 4: was great, and like I learned about him and his family,
Speaker 4: and it was just really nice to sit down and
Speaker 4: connect with someone.
Speaker 2: Is he a single dad too.
Speaker 4: No, he's not a single dad.
Speaker 1: Oh he's a married dad.
Speaker 4: No, No, no, he's he's not married, of course, and
Speaker 4: he doesn't have any kids. But he does know that
Speaker 4: I have a daughter, obviously, I'm very upfront with that.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, that that all sounds great, at least on
Speaker 1: the surface. How did it end?
Speaker 4: I think it ended great. Like he drove me back
Speaker 4: to my place and I didn't invite him up, of course,
Speaker 4: but I did give him a kiss tonight and then
Speaker 4: I went inside and I haven't heard from him since.
Speaker 2: So can you think of any reason why that would be.
Speaker 4: I've been going over in my head and like, the
Speaker 4: only thing that I can think of is, like, he's
Speaker 4: a decent looking guy. He's personable, Like I had a
Speaker 4: lot of fun with him, and like he probably has
Speaker 4: a lot of options, you know, like when you're on
Speaker 4: dating app, you're looking at so many people and you
Speaker 4: have a bunch of options in front of you, but.
Speaker 2: You're the best options. What's wrong with him?
Speaker 1: Everybody does? Yeah, I knew, I do know how that
Speaker 1: feels to get that.
Speaker 2: So, uh, what what.
Speaker 1: To get the you know, great guy. You know, lots
Speaker 1: of options available to you. Yeah, he's perfect, you know
Speaker 1: you're yeah, like being like the guy in that position
Speaker 1: with all these great options, doing all these great things,
Speaker 1: oppressing all of these women.
Speaker 7: I thought you were getting turned out the other guy.
Speaker 2: It's just more believable the way it's.
Speaker 1: Are like, it's okay, yeah, okay, Well now I don't
Speaker 1: even want to help, so just drop it, forget it
Speaker 1: all right. If you say the nice thing to end
Speaker 1: this call, then go ahead.
Speaker 2: I'm actually really excited to call this guy. I think
Speaker 2: we can fix it.
Speaker 1: Well, she's a jerk who's not calling you back, so
Speaker 1: I don't think he's quite that decent. We're gonna find out.
Speaker 1: I would have called you back as like a good gentleman.
Speaker 1: But we'll see what his excuse is. That's okay, don't
Speaker 1: make excuses for him. We'll see what he has to
Speaker 1: say when we come back and do your second date
Speaker 1: update right after this. Hold on on this show. We
Speaker 1: love single moms. Yeah, our number one single mom is
Speaker 1: Alexis's mother, Barbed. She is our personal fave. But number two,
Speaker 1: at least for today is our listener Eve, who's been
Speaker 1: struggling to meet a good guy that's even open to
Speaker 1: the idea of you should hang out with Barbeeves met
Speaker 1: a guy named Reggie online recently. They went salsa dancing
Speaker 1: and they talked and connected. But after the date, Reggie's
Speaker 1: gone kind of a wall, which is not cool. Alexis.
Speaker 1: What would Barb do if this happened to her.
Speaker 7: I know she'd probably out on another night out with
Speaker 7: her friends again, you know, just moving on.
Speaker 1: I told her that she would feel comfortable calling us
Speaker 1: for help like Eve did the bar.
Speaker 2: You want to do an update with Alexis.
Speaker 1: If she ever needs it. But today we're stepping in
Speaker 1: to help our listener, Eve, and if nothing else, maybe
Speaker 1: get some answers from this Reggie guy, because I am single.
Speaker 1: Moms deserve better, and Alexis, I hope your mother knows
Speaker 1: that I feel that way.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm done nudging my mom on the day.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, we're always there for Barb. Yeah, Barber,
Speaker 1: if you're listening, we're here for you. But Instagram, I
Speaker 1: would love.
Speaker 2: A new segment Barb's problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but sorry, this brings us back to Eve.
Speaker 7: Eve.
Speaker 1: We're here for you today, Okay. One hundred per cent.
Speaker 2: I think this is going to turn out great.
Speaker 5: I think that there's either some sort of scheduling thing
Speaker 5: and maybe he's intimidated that you're like a strong independent woman,
Speaker 5: you know something they could be fixed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure it's gonna be something super fun like that.
Speaker 2: Positive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's intimidated by what a great woman you are.
Speaker 1: It happen, Yeah, I'm with Brook. Maybe we call him
Speaker 1: and he's like, there's no other day can get better
Speaker 1: than that. I sure hope. So let's call him right
Speaker 1: now and see what he has to say.
Speaker 8: If he picks up, here we go, Hello, Hey, is
Speaker 8: this Reggie?
Speaker 1: Yes, Hello, Reggie quiet talker, Hi, Reggie.
Speaker 2: Hello, Sorry, there's more than one of us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're on a radio show right now called Brook
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the Morning, and we are not too
Speaker 1: happy with you right now, Reggie.
Speaker 5: Reggie, you sound like a pretty stand up guy. Jeffrey,
Speaker 5: you don't need to come in so hard.
Speaker 1: He's said, Hello, and you got stand up guy from Hello.
Speaker 2: Oh, he took a woman out on a beautiful date.
Speaker 2: Put some energy into it.
Speaker 1: The reason why some of us are not happy with
Speaker 1: you is because you went out with one of our
Speaker 1: listeners named Eve a wonderful single mother, and afterwards you
Speaker 1: have the audacity to not call her. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: My co hosts are laughing at that idea. It's kind
Speaker 1: of rude if you ask me.
Speaker 2: Wait, you why are so mad?
Speaker 1: Yes, emailed for help because this might be shocking to you.
Speaker 1: But she had a nice time the other night.
Speaker 3: I mean, something's weird with her. I think she's like
Speaker 3: a scammer or a liar.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll tell you. Normally, if someone sole something, they
Speaker 1: wouldn't call a radio show to reach out to that person.
Speaker 3: For you, Yeah, I'm kind of surprised.
Speaker 2: Okay, it sounds like you planned a great night with her.
Speaker 3: She told me it's hard for her because she's a
Speaker 3: single mom.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Sitters are expensive. She can't afford it. So trying to
Speaker 3: be a gentleman here, I offer, you know what if
Speaker 3: I pay for the sitter and then you can come.
Speaker 2: Oh good move.
Speaker 1: I brought that up. I didn't want to put that
Speaker 1: in the air, but that's a really.
Speaker 5: I think my husband would be Okay if I was
Speaker 5: in a dating app, if we could get.
Speaker 1: Somebody, you're even more of a gentleman brother. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of apologizing now for coming on so hard to.
Speaker 2: Chow at the beginning.
Speaker 1: Feel that's that's a that's a good move. I would
Speaker 1: admit it for kids. Okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So the night of the date, I show up,
Speaker 3: she comes down. I have them on her one hundred bucks.
Speaker 3: Everything's okay. You know. Afterwards, I drop her back off
Speaker 3: at her apartment. She goes inside. Yeah, I'm driving down.
Speaker 3: I realized she left her doggy bag or left over
Speaker 3: food in my car. Okay, come back, go to the
Speaker 3: doors apartment. Knock on the door. There was another resident there,
Speaker 3: so I told the person there, Hey, So I went
Speaker 3: out with a woman, a mom who lives here in
Speaker 3: the building. Her name is Eve. I don't know which
Speaker 3: apartment she lives in, but this is hers. Can you
Speaker 3: give it to her?
Speaker 2: Okay? What they say?
Speaker 3: She says, I know Eve, but she's not a mom.
Speaker 3: What And I'm like, well, what do you mean? She
Speaker 3: told me she had a three year old daughter. I
Speaker 3: thought she had a babysitter. I paid for the babysitter.
Speaker 3: She's like, no, she has a roommate with no kids.
Speaker 2: What way.
Speaker 5: I mean as an apartment complex, there could be two Eve's.
Speaker 5: It's not like it's a super common name.
Speaker 3: I mean it had to be the same Eve because
Speaker 3: she said that she just saw her come back.
Speaker 7: My neighbors don't know I have pets, and I don't
Speaker 7: lie about a kid.
Speaker 1: Clearly, we need to get to the bottom of what's
Speaker 1: going out. Some sort of confusion is going on, and
Speaker 1: I need to tell you, Reggie. Eve is actually on
Speaker 1: the phone already listening to this conversation.
Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how this works.
Speaker 2: Come in so pleasant. That was a pretty big accusation.
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 4: Okay, I am so sorry.
Speaker 2: Second, are you not a single mom?
Speaker 4: I mean that's why I didn't bring up my daughter's name, Like,
Speaker 4: don't have a daughter.
Speaker 2: Empathy for you?
Speaker 5: Like we had a whole discussion about how hard it
Speaker 5: was for single mom.
Speaker 1: I came at him so hard at the beginning of this.
Speaker 1: Why would you lie about that?
Speaker 2: Who wants to be a single mom on a dating app?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: That doesn't help you, does Eve explain?
Speaker 4: I guess so the money, Like I have a roommate.
Speaker 4: We will just like we will just say it sometimes
Speaker 4: on dates, you know, like it's a game we.
Speaker 5: Play just slips out, you have a pretend one hundred dollars, sorry,
Speaker 5: charge more, get out of here.
Speaker 3: But that's why I think actually a hundred bucks is
Speaker 3: perfect because I would totally fall for this.
Speaker 1: You're not going to ask for pictures of the kids, Okay?
Speaker 1: Can we stop trying to make her scam better to
Speaker 1: get her even more money? I just means, maybe, don't
Speaker 1: be that for a second.
Speaker 2: Terrible.
Speaker 5: See, why would you call us if the whole thing
Speaker 5: was a lie?
Speaker 1: Because she actually liked him? Watch?
Speaker 4: Well, yeah I did like him.
Speaker 1: Oh what's your plan to like go out with Reggie
Speaker 1: like five ten more times until you eventually reveal Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm not actually a mother of any children.
Speaker 1: And by the way, thank you for the thousand dollars
Speaker 1: in babysitting that she paid for all of our dates.
Speaker 2: Stop messed up.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's so messed up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you're ruining it for actual single moms who
Speaker 5: want to date these good guys. Like now they're going
Speaker 5: to be like all skeptical and jaded.
Speaker 1: And I'm skeptical if Alexis' mom is really a mom
Speaker 1: at this point, how do you even know?
Speaker 6: We don't I know she would ask you for babysity
Speaker 6: money for someone to watch alexusca.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that sucks.
Speaker 4: I mean there are some girls who just take the
Speaker 4: money before a date and don't actually go out with
Speaker 4: the guys, but like I do.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, yeah, you're right, you're totally a good person.
Speaker 1: Then you at least wait until after.
Speaker 2: The date longer.
Speaker 5: A real mom would say, if other girls jumped off
Speaker 5: a bridge, would you jump off one too?
Speaker 1: It's fair? I mean, yeah, the whole point of this
Speaker 1: call was to reach out to Reggie to see if
Speaker 1: you wanted to go out with you one more time.
Speaker 1: But first I think Reggie probably needs an apology from
Speaker 1: you Eve, and probably his his money back.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you want to say anything to Reggie?
Speaker 4: I do, Reggie, I'm really sorry. I don't have the
Speaker 4: money right now, but I will repay you eventually.
Speaker 1: After she goes on a date with another guy who
Speaker 1: pays one hundred dollars for the gift card.
Speaker 4: I wish you guys wouldna be so harsh on me,
Speaker 4: Like I really am trying here, Like.
Speaker 2: Why did you scaned us too?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 4: I mean, I didn't know it was gonna be busted
Speaker 4: on the radio, So.
Speaker 5: You're only sad and upset when you get caught.
Speaker 1: It's like such a cheater, and it's like what I
Speaker 1: was gonna tell you. Yes, Reggie, I mean she's apologized
Speaker 1: and offered to at least pay the money back when
Speaker 1: she gets it. Do you have anything you want to
Speaker 1: say to her?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm putting her on blast. I'm putting this all
Speaker 3: over my Instagram. I got stream shots of your phone
Speaker 3: going off. I want other people to know not to
Speaker 3: get scammed by you.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: That feels icky too.
Speaker 1: So are you saying, Reggie that you are open to
Speaker 1: dating girl or are you done? Because remember, we will
Speaker 1: pay for that next date and the babysitter fee too
Speaker 1: if it costs.
Speaker 2: A zero dollars. If you don't actually have a kid.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what we'll do. So we always offer to
Speaker 1: send you guys out.
Speaker 7: I'll watch your pretend baby, Reggie. Thanks darn god, you
Speaker 7: could have made a lot of money as a couple.
Speaker 7: You know, you never knew how the scam would work out.
Speaker 2: When you're marry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you could have had like three more pretend kids,
Speaker 1: got four, Eve. I mean, has this taught you a lesson?
Speaker 1: You're going to change your ways going forward.
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't know. I should talk to my roommates.
Speaker 1: I don't know. This scam isn't as tight as we thought.
Speaker 1: It's brooking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 5: Brooking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: This is a good lesson for any guy out there
Speaker 1: who's going out with a single mom. You need to say,
Speaker 1: show me the baby. Oh really, you're a mom, just
Speaker 1: supposed to believe you.
Speaker 5: Tell you there's not a mom out there that wouldn't
Speaker 5: immediately show a picture of.
Speaker 2: This that's normally naturally honestly.
Speaker 5: Or just even see their lock screen. Their lock screen
Speaker 5: is going to be a picture of their children. It is.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've heard of catfish on the dating apps before,
Speaker 1: but baby fishing is definitely a new one.
Speaker 5: Man still can't believe she was so confident that her
Speaker 5: like scam worked that she called us.
Speaker 1: I mean, how many dating scams do we not even
Speaker 1: know about? That happened on this show right under our nose.
Speaker 1: People lying about something that we never uncover. I don't know. Thankfully,
Speaker 1: this guy randomly figured it out by trying to bring
Speaker 1: his date or leftovers and was outed for that, and
Speaker 1: that was just the universe.
Speaker 5: Maybe that's why all those other radio shows asked the
Speaker 5: little kids.
Speaker 2: To come on and talk for their mommy. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: can to the background because.
Speaker 1: You got to prove it.
Speaker 2: You got prove it.
Speaker 1: But you don't have to prove anything to us. We'll
Speaker 1: take you at your word for the most parts. We
Speaker 1: really are just email the show. We'll call anybody who
Speaker 1: is in calling you back, and go check out all
Speaker 1: of our podcasts wherever you get yours at Broken Jeffrey
