Second Date Update: I Went Full Robbins
Aug 19, 2026 · 18m
Summary
Brooke and Jeffrey update listener Eugene, who used Tony Robbins advice to become overly outgoing on a date with Grace. He awkwardly interrogated the waitress about her swimsuit and struggled to order food, which Grace interpreted as indecisiveness. When Eugene called to explain his commitment issues, Grace rejected him, stating she needs a partner who can make decisions. The hosts conclude that his attempt to be bold backfired due to poor execution.
