Second day. We all have unique things that we find attractive in other people. Like for Alexis, she always checks the guy's pants to make sure that he has an enormous wallet. Oh, okay, I check for something else. I don't not do that. I think she checks for a lot of For Jose, he's looking for a lady, preferably a breathing one. But it's not a deal break. No, it's not breath Yes. For Brooke, well, she's taken. Yeah, or at least that's what the missing posters of her

husband's taken call anytime, I guess. One of our listeners, Greg has kind of a unique turn on that drew him into a certain lady. Greg, welcome to the show. Hey, thanks for having me. Welcome. Where did you find this lovely lady? So? I found her on a dating app. She looked really pretty. She seems funny, smart. But I really am into juggling. I love I watch a lot of it, just juggling videos on YouTube, and she she's an amateur juggler. So I thought that that was really

really close. Yeah, that made right there. So do you juggle or do you just watch other people do it? No? I am a strict spectator. I can't juggle, but I watched hours of juggling videos on YouTube. Like it's a watch people juggle. You're like, oh yeah, when women do, it's very I think it's very seductive when you watch a woman juggle, and there's some videos where they will juggle axes, knives, it gets, it gets very hope that

doesn't turn you off. And it's like, oh, man, did you hear his voice when he started talking about it's very It's just it's very intense. I suggest you watch some of the videos. You'll see what I'm talking about. I think, get it now. But let's move on from So did we learn her name yet? Oh? Katie? Okay, Katie, Okay. What did you and Katie end up doing for a date. Well, we had a plan for the evening, so we started at a bar. We had a couple of quick drinks and we Our plan was to see a movie and

it was it was great. She shows up and I joked around with her because when we were messaging, I said, oh, you should bring some of your your juggling gear. That'd be fun. I think she thought I was joking. I was serious, But whatever, that's fine or all the different concessions from the movie. It's funny you say that I tried at the bar. I tried seeing if she'd do a couple of tricks, but she was embarrassed with them. But anyway, you're more of a third date thing. Anyway.

I know we're kind of like rushing past that real quickly. But I feel like that actually could be the reason why she's not calling you back if you're like fresh juggling all sorts of weird stuff. Man, No, she I think she totally enjoyed that. I appreciated that. I think it's one of those things that's overlooked, and I don't think it was that Okay, as I looked back on it and thought about it, you know what could have

come wrong with the day? I think I diagnosed it. Okay, you seem like a very analytical person, So what do you got? Well, so I think I didn't get a call back because that towards the end of the movie, the main character dies and I cried. I kind of like, had do you heaving sobs? Yeah, bro, I'm the same in movies, dude, I did commercials will make me? Do you think you're like too ugly of a crier for well, no,

I think it was. It was very appropriate. But I noticed her, noticed me crying, and she just brusquely turned away from me and looked back at the screen. And I thought, I thought, geez, this would have been a moment. There might have been some compassion or pretty vulnerable moment for your bro. Well, it could have been. Maybe she turned away because she was worried she was going to start crying too, see and you cry, you know. Oh, I don't know. It was just it was very intensive.

I just got this energy sense that perhaps that made her uncomfortable or I'm not sure a woman, or maybe she was worried that you were going to ask her to juggle your tears. I didn't make it happy. Again, I didn't know. I didn't do anything like that. So you're saying, after the after the crying in the movie,

the mood shifted. Yeah, it shifted. So I, of course I walked her to her car, and as I pondered the evening, which I thought, overall was a really wonderful night, I went in for a kiss and she turned her cheek, which, of course, at the first date that's understandable. So I kind of pissed her like nose Were you still Sonati from all the cry previously? No, I always carry I have a handkerchief that I always carry with me. Okay,

you were done heaving and sobbing at that point. Yeah, I mean I was still carrying the effect of the finale of the film. But you know, I composed myself by the time we got to the parking lot, and I said I wanted to see her again because we had such a great time. I cracked a joke about the juggling, which I thought added some levity, and I have not heard from her since. That's okay, let me overall, dude,

you sound like a pretty good guy. Yeah, character, I need to ask, like I do with everybody on these second dates, where were your pants? Were they on or were they off at any point? Because sometimes that can be a deal breaker. I actually always wear my pants. I would never act in me that kind of inappropriate. You're at a higher level than a lot of the

people that we talked to already, so I was. I was wearing pants and a dress shirt, so I thought I very appropriate for a first pant and a dress shirt. Now you're taking it over the time, are you trying to impress. It's a dark yeah. Okay, I see a lot of people think I'm weird too and they don't get me. But maybe you and I are kind of kindred spirits and that sounds like, let's let's play a song. We'll come back, we'll call, we'll try, we'll try and

do that. No promises, but we'll call Katy for you and try and get a second date. Update. Okay, okay, thank you, hold on, don't forget Broke and Jeffrey's Merch for a Cause is on. Proceeds going to aid humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. Good Yeah, get yours now at Brooke and Jeffrey dot com if you're just joining us for

the second date. We've been talking to Greg about his movie date with a woman named Katie, and Greg from the first part sounds like a really nice, upstanding guy who likes to wear his emotions on his sleeve and put his balls up in the air. One of his favorite things is to watch people juggle. Thank you, and can we start with that next time? Was it too a little much? It was a little much. I'm just

saying Katie is an amateur juggler. He actually asked her to show off her skills a couple times during the date, but Greg says the real awkward moment may have been when he cried during the movie Buddy, and he used the term heaving sobs to describe it. So he's worried maybe it was a bit much and that's why when he went in at the end of the night for the kiss, she turned her face and he just got that nose cheek crease. Kiss waits for the record, counts

as a kiss. Okay, as long as the lips make contact, you make contact with the body, O the kiss, you do it? Okay, Yes, I'm just want to get to the bottom of it. Okay, Okay, I take some deep breaths. Man. I mean, she may say something you might not want to hear, so just be ready. Okay he's breathing. Yeah that's good. Okay, that's good. Another underrated skill to have. So you keep breathing. We're gonna call Katie for you and see what she has to say. All right, this

might actually be more of a challenge. And I was thinking before you start, but we'll tell you when to come in. Okay, you just keep doing your thing. Here we go. Hello, Hey, is this Katie. Um, yeah, hey Katie, my name's jeff from the radio show Broken Jeffrey in the Morning. Okay, Hi, Hey, hey Katie, the whole show is here and we all want to talk. Have you ever heard our show before? Katie? No, sorry, it's okay morning. We got a podcast too, you can check out on Spotify.

It's fun. Okay, yep, she's okay. Well, we're also in the middle of a segment right now called a second date Update. And Okay, somebody that you went out with recently really wants to see you again and has been having a hard time reaching you. All right, any idea who I might be talking about? Um? Is it Greg? Hey? Okay, you're right, he's on your mind. Huh Um, he wasn't. But Greg, Greg seems like a sweet guy. Did you have a good time? Um, I mean it was okay, Yeah,

that's all right. So we're trying to help Greg figure out if there was anything wrong or if there's something that he could improve on. We just want to know what the date was like from your perspective, right, Um. Now, he's a very nice guy. Um. Good, He's just I don't know, he's not really my type. If you like physically not that attracted to him, or is it more of a personality difference between you two. Yeah, it's more personality.

He just kind of he's just like a very straightforward, literal person, like I like to be spontaneous and have fun. And you know, there was one point we were getting drinks and I was like, oh, let's do a shot, and he just asked for a glass of ice and he poured his over ice and sipped it with a straw while for a while. Oh yeah, I just it's classy. You know, he doesn't want to get trashed on his first date with you. Maybe what was the movie? Like?

Was that okay? I guess he told you everything already. Yeah, we went to a movie and it was just a little bit weird because like right before it's starting, he just leans over. It's like, by the way, I've read the book already, so I know the whole story. That's okay, though, I mean, you know, sometimes movies are different than books, and if you read the whole book, then you're even more invested a lot of times in seeing the movie. It's hard to find a movie that's not based on

something else. Right now, nothing's original anymore. Was that bad for you? I think it's a little bit weird because he already knows the story and like towards the end of the movie, main character dies and it's kind of like a long drawn out thing though, and he started just like bawling once it started. I was like, well, I know he's not going to pull through now. I mean, from what it sounds like, he's kind of a straight laced, uptight guy, and you're more of a laid back, you know,

loose type of lady. Those words like yeah, lady. I think what Jeffrey's trying to say is that sometimes opposites attract. Yeah, right, Like, in fact, I think your opposite is on the other line right now, looking to attract over to you as we speak. What are you talking about? Tell her that he's on the phone. Okay, fine, I'll be straight laced. He's on the other phone. He's online five and he would like to right now, Hi, Katie. Oh my good, this is good to hear your voice high Hello, and

it's Greg. It's Greg Y. He sounds different, dude, Why do you sound different? Greg? I was holding my breath. Oh wow, okay, I'm also I'm admittedly nervous. It's really good to hear your voice, Katie. You sound really you hearing the stuff she was saying. Well, I mean I did take notes. I just one thing I wanted to clarify. That's shot. You might not know this. Your audience might not know this. If you drink through a straw, you

actually get a little more of a buzz. And Okay, the second thing I just wanted to say is I've seen this film. Um, I'm gonna confess I've seen it actually twice. I had the com emotional reaction both times, which I think confirms that it's a pretty profound film, and I think it justifies the Katie, feel free to jump in at any time whenever you feel like talking. Go ahead. Yeah, this is um, Greg, this is not a good look for you. Why did you want this

on the radio. I don't think it's bad. I don't think anybody's hating on him, Katie, Like it didn't even sound like I mean, you just had some mismatches on your personality. Well, heck, I'm sure that there's things that that Greg probably saw that may have kind of been flaws about you. Good. Well, if I may to answer your question, I wasn't to air them out. I just first wanted to say, Katie, I know you're you're more

spontaneous than me. You're in the moment an improviser. But on average that personality touch they die four point eight years. Then someone who is organized prepared, that's a statistical fact. Oh, I see you're saying her time is running short, so she better date you while she still can't. And when when that's personality type is complimented with someone who's an organizer and is prepared, you actually see an increase in the average age. Also, like Greg is going to increase

your lifetime. That is actually probably the best like ploy or like that's right, sounds like a threat, like get with me or you're gonna die. He'll compliment your your personality, he'll help you live longer. Statistics aside, Katie, like just focus on did you have fun with him? I mean, not the best? Okay, let's go back to the stats.

Then let's focus on the statistics a little clinical. How about I think someday, Katie, you're gonna want to hike up a very dangerous cliff and he's gonna be there to stop you from doing that, because statistically not a great decision. Yes, you you need someone like that in your life. How did this work? Did he pay you guys to do this? If he had more money, would you be more interested? Maybe? Well, we will offer to send you guys out on a date. Yeah, and we'll

pay for it. I feel like Greg really deserves a second shot. If anything, he could be a friend, you know, like if it came down to it. But like he's an interesting dude. I think if he loosens up just a little, I think I broke it down. It looks to me seventy five percent of our evening was fun. We had twenty percent that was silence of the film, and five percent I would argue that was awkward. That seems like a pretty strong argument for. And then if

you add to that, basically this would be a free state. Oh, I mean it's gonna be fun. At least science says Katie, you gotta go out with Greg. It certainly turned me on, so you should definitely say yes. If the science says I gotta do it, I will give it one more shot. Science, all right, what are you? What's going on over there? Grand Oh we're gonna Oh, this is gonna be fun. I'm going I'll have two shots and I won't use a stride promise, and then we're gonna have sex. Hello,

I guaranteed. Can I change my mind? That was a joke. That's new Greg. He jokes a lot. Broken Jeffrey in the morning
