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