Ten, ten shots fired in City Hall building. How could this have happened in City Hall? Somebody tell me that. A shocking public murder.
This was one of the most dramatic events that really ever happened in New York City politics. I screamed, get down, get down. Those are shots. A tragedy that's now forgotten. And a mystery. That may or may not have been political. That may have been about sex. Listen to Rorschach, Murder at City Hall on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Chapter 2: What unique challenges do single moms face in dating?
Hello, Reggie. Quiet talker. Hi, Reggie. Hello? Sorry, there's more than one of us.
Hi.
You're on a radio show right now called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and we are not too happy with you right now, Reg. Reggie, you sound like a pretty stand-up guy, Jeffrey. You don't need to come in so hard. He said hello, and you got stand-up guy from hello? No, he took a woman out on a beautiful date. Put some energy into it. What's this about?
The reason why some of us are not happy with you is because you went out with one of our listeners named Eve, a wonderful single mother, and afterwards you have the audacity to not call her. I don't know why my co-hosts are laughing at that idea. It's kind of rude if you ask me. Wait. Why are you so mad?
Eve called you?
Yes. Well, she emailed us. Emailed for help because this might be shocking to you, but she had a nice time the other night.
What does that mean? I mean, something's weird with her.
I think she's like a scammer or a liar. A scammer? Whoa. Okay. I'll tell you, normally if someone stole something, they wouldn't call a radio show to reach out to that person for you. Yeah, that's why I'm kind of surprised. Okay. It sounds like you planned a great night with her. She told me it's hard for her because she's a single mom. Yeah. Right. Babysitters are expensive. Totally.
She can't afford it. So trying to be a gentleman here, I offer, you know, what if I pay for the sitter and then you can come? Oh. Good move. I almost brought that up. I didn't want to put that in the air, but that's a really nice gesture. I think my husband would be okay if I was in a dating app if we could get somebody to pay for the sitter. That's always good, though. Great team.

Chapter 3: How did Eve's date with Reggie go?
Are you sure?
Wait, wait.
Wait a second.
Don't trust the stranger in the lobby, though. I mean, it's an apartment complex. There could be two Eves. It's not like it's a super common name.
I mean, it had to be the same Eve because she said that she just saw her come back.
My neighbors don't know I have pets. Like, you know, we lie. You don't lie about a kid, Alexis. Clearly, we need to get to the bottom of what's going on. Some sort of confusion is going on. And I need to tell you, Reggie, Eve is actually on the phone already listening to this conversation. What are you talking about? Yeah, that's how this works. You come in so pleasant.
That was a pretty big accusation. Yeah, what's going on? Okay, I am so sorry.
Oh, no.
Wait a second. Are you not a single mom? I mean, that's why I didn't bring up my daughter's name, because I don't have a daughter. What? Wait a second. We had all this empathy for you. Like, we had a whole discussion about how hard it was for single moms. Jeff almost attacked Reggie before the phone call. Seriously, I came at him so hard at the beginning of this. Why would you lie about that?

Chapter 4: What makes a good connection on a first date?
I do. Reggie, I'm really sorry. I don't have the money right now, but I will repay you eventually. Oh, boy. After she goes on a date with another guy who pays $100. Before she asks us for the gift card. I wish you guys wouldn't be so harsh on me. Like, I really am trying here. I wish you would have told us the truth. Like, why did you scam us too, man?
I mean, I didn't know I was going to be bust on the radio. So you're only sad and upset when you get caught. Yeah, it's like when you catch a cheater and it's like, well, I was going to tell you. Yes. Reggie, I mean, she's apologized and offered to at least pay the money back when she gets it. Do you have anything you want to say to her? Yeah, I'm putting her on blast.
I'm putting this all over my Instagram. I got screenshots of your photos going up. I want other people to know not to get scammed by you. That feels icky, too. So are you saying, Reggie, that you are open to dating her? Or are you done? Because remember, we will pay for that next date and the babysitter fee, too. Wait, does it cost $0 if you don't actually have a kid?
Yeah, that's exactly what we'll do. So we always offer to send you guys out. I'll watch your pretend baby.
Even better.
Reggie? Yeah, no thanks. Ah, darn it. God, you could have made a lot of money as a couple, you know? You never knew how the scam would work out once you're married. Yeah, you could have had like three more pretend kids. Got $400 for it. Eve, I mean, has this taught you a lesson? Are you going to change your ways going forward? Maybe. I don't know. I have to talk to my roommate. I don't know.
The scam isn't as tight as we thought. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Chapter 5: Why did Reggie stop contacting Eve after the date?
I'm going to tell you, there's not a mom out there that wouldn't immediately show a picture of their kid. That's normally naturally how it is. Or just even see their lock screen. Their lock screen is going to be a picture of their children. It's just how it is. I mean, I've heard of catfishing on the dating apps before, but babyfishing is definitely a new one.
I just still can't believe she was so confident that her scam work that she called us. I mean, how many dating scams do we not even know about that happened on this show right under our nose? Seriously. People lying about something that we never uncover. I don't know. Thankfully, this guy randomly figured it out by trying to bring his date her leftovers and was outed for that.
And that was just the universe. That wasn't anyone's fault. She just left it. Maybe that's why all those other radio shows ask the little kids to come on and talk for their mommy. Is your kid in the background? Come say hi. Because you got to prove it. You got to prove it, Jeff. But you don't have to prove anything to us. We'll take you at your word for the most part. We really are.
Just email the show. We'll call anybody who isn't calling you back. And go check out all of our podcasts wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey.
