As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority of Black City, in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.

Seriously. But we're going to get through it together with a brand new episode for your second date podcast. You have found the official Brooke and Jeffrey podcast. Thank you so much for subscribing. Before we get to it, comments, Alexis. Yes, someone left a little story on their meet cute with their now husband, I guess.

That's fun. HK.K. S2.4C. I don't know. It's a good username. Yeah. I have known my husband since we are neighbors at 14. I never thought he was attractive until we were 36.

Whoa. And I saw him with my kids. And I saw his heart and I fell madly in love with him. Now I think he's the sexiest man alive. And after 10 years of marriage, he still gives me butterflies. Oh, see, Brooke, your weird neighbor, you guys still have a chance to get along. And it says, Jose, you are a cutie after. Oh, look at that.

All right. Well, now we know they're gay. on hot people. Never mind. Can you imagine? I hope you don't tell your husband that. I never thought you were a hot. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. But that's how you pick up one of the kids after they fell down. You took my kid and I got to take a nap and you looked a lot better. Exactly. Exactly. All right.

There's the bar. I love it. Your brand new episode starts right now. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. When you're on a date with someone, what could stand? out about them that turns you on.

Other than obviously their looks, like what could put that spark in you? Maybe like a sexy laugh. Oh, that's always good. Or just a nice voice. An intoxicating cologne. Good eye contact, but not too much. An extra tooth that isn't growing out of their mouth? Where's it coming out of?

Don't you want to know. I don't know that I do. I'm just bringing it up because one of our listeners said his date got him going. with something other than physical attractiveness. Okay, I think that tooth actually counts as physical attractiveness. Well, that's a good point. But for him, apparently, it was her brain. Oh, I love that.

Corey, I'll be honest, you lost me. But I don't know what you're talking about. You liked her brain? I know. I was a younger man once, and it was all about the look and stuff. But this time, man, it was the brain that won me over. I met a girl named Janae on a dating app. Okay.

Okay. I'm going to try to put my it aside to listen to what you're saying, but go ahead. I know you're being sarcastic, but it went too far just then. Okay. You don't get to see my extra tooth now, Brooke. Yeah. You lose. Sorry, keep going, Corey. So you said... I read her profile and immediately noticed that it was exceptionally well written. Everything she put on there was well thought out. So it wasn't just brevity. You know, there was weight to every word.

Okay. All right. Well, cool. Whatever brevity means. Yeah. So how do you hit on a smarty, huh? How did you guys spark a good? conversation. I'm only pursuing you on here because I think you're deep and really smart. Wow. You said that? Based off of her bio. Okay. And she liked it, obviously. She hit you back and said thumbs up. You're right? Yeah. Yeah. She gave me, she gave me devil horns and I knew it was a go.

Oh, devil horns is a really good. No, no, I'm kidding. Okay. You are kidding. Okay. I was like, that's a crazy response. I'm not sure I understand, but clearly there is some chemistry happening on the apps. It worked. Yeah, yeah. It wasn't perfunctory stuff. We didn't just talk about my family, my hobbies, my job. You know, it was, we talked about the stock market. You know, we're both to trading.

Okay. That's all good stuff. I fell asleep. Okay. So, yeah. It was supposed an army of, you know, automaton that should be dominating the world stage within a few years. Right, yeah, totally, Corey.

You're like not related to a different world to me. As far as I've been in the past, Okay, so let me just ask real quick. Are you on drugs, Corey? Is that what's happening? Can you hear us, bro? Like, I feel like we're asking questions and you're not answering. Yeah.

Yeah, I am on a drug right now. I'm on a high call, but maybe having met the right person. Oh, that was kind of cute. So I sounds big. Where did you guys go? What did you do? Well, we went out to dinner at a little tapas plates. Topas is for smart people.

And. That's a good point. But I told her, I saw it straight out. You're real smarty pants. I was flirting with her. And she said, this is how she came back, right? Oh, I don't know about that. But I do know how to correctly use a semicolon.

And we high five at that point. Wait, that is actually a good thing. It's working. Whatever you guys have happening. That is the weirdest flirt I've ever heard. What did they high five over? That she bragged that she knew how to use a semicolon properly. Oh, I didn't hear.

It wasn't a joke. She really did. And that is the bane of my existence. And some people don't even use it, much less to know how to use it. To help you and to defend you, I remember one time years ago I used a semicolon on Tinder. And a girl literally said, is it weird that the semicolon made you more attractive? Or does it just make you look old? Or that.

Because, like, those Gen Zers, they're not using any punctuation. Don't even capitalize. Don't even capitalize. If grammar is the hot thing that got you two going together, then, look, good on you. No judgment over healing. Seriously. So, I mean, I don't even really want any more details from the date. Just tell us how it ends.

Yeah. Long story short, I walked her back to her car, and I told her how impressed I was with her as a person. But I was, you know, I was jazz, man. And it was a different spending time with her compared to anyone else I've ever run on date. What did she say to that compliment? She said, well, maybe we should end the date differently. She said, well, instead of a kiss, let's whisper our credit scores in each other's either. Oh, this girl?

What? I like her. This is funny. You don't want everyone to know your first. Wait, that was a joke. Like a flirtatious joke? I don't think it's a joke with them. No, I don't think it is either.

I have never owed anybody anything. And my credit score has been my point of pride since the day I got my first credit card. Okay. So you didn't even need to go back to her place. This was as much action as you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, if I smoked, I would have had to light up a cigarette after that conversation.

Okay. All right. So, but did you actually do that and whisper each other's credit scores into your ears? I did. And, you know, well, mine was a few points ahead of hers. Hers was still well above the mean score. Okay. Okay.

Wow. And so what happened since that hot credit score conversation when you left the date? Therein lies the problem. I thought for sure we'd have another date. and she is not texting me back. I think I've texted twice and called the ones. Okay, okay, wait. Did you double check your text?

Do you have any misspellings or typos? Or is it possible that she saw you on the FBI's top ten watch list? There was not a single, a lot lumped together as one word. Okay, okay. Good grammar. Cromatic spacing. That was a hot joke, brother. Some way avoiding the question.

No, I don't think that was a joke. I think he's being serious. Sorry. Yeah, you don't want to put that A next to that lot. Yes. Well, we have a lot to go off of. Thank you for that, Corey. And when we come back, we will attempt to do our very best to not disappoint you grammatically.

When we call, what was her name? I've already forgotten. Jenae? Jena. We will call beautiful big-brained Jenae. That's right, yeah. When we reach out and ask her to go out with you one more time right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Second Date Update. You meet a lot of characters when doing this segment. And in the past, we've had people like Matt Man, Roofer, and now, semicolon Corey. Yeah, that's right. Who went on a date with a woman named Jenae that tickled him grammatically and cognitively. He had quite a lot to say about it. Almost 40% of it, we understood. But what was very clear is he was extremely turned on.

intellectually by Jeney. Which is awesome. We don't hear that enough. And we all liked that. And he's been very disappointed that she's not texting him back. I'm assuming the restraining order has kicked in, but we don't know that for sure, just tossing it out as a possibility. Well, he doesn't know either then if that's the case. Well, have you visited her at her work unannounced yet, Corey?

Oh, my God. We're not encouraging that. I'm just asking. Yeah. If I knew what department she worked in, then I would have given some thoughts I get that it's a joke She's an intellectual Maybe she doesn't like the texting

Maybe she wanted a handwritten letter Yeah, it's like those romance novels Where like the princess high in her tower Doesn't want a prince She wants the stable boy Yeah That's not what I said at a much lower level intellectually I only understood 30% of what you just said

Yeah, I'm with you. And there was a lot of rubbing going Listen, we're losing brain cells by the second here So we have to dial her number as soon as possible. Corey, are you good with that? I'm sorry, Corey, are you okay with that? I don't want to disappoint you grammatically. Oh, yeah, are you good?

It's not technically. I know that was bad. Yes, I'm okay with that. Thank you. All right. He approves. That's informal for him. That was.

Let's just do it. I'm going to dial Janais's number right now. Hey, is this Janay? Yes. Oh, man. I'm betting 100% she has no idea who we are. Yeah. Let's just give it a try, though.

So, Jeanne, have you ever heard of a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning? Oh, what? Yeah, that's a no. Brooke called it. Yeah. And that's totally fine. But we're a show, and we do this thing called the second date update. You just need to explain.

You need to pause for recognition. Yeah, we're just going to cut right to it. So, listen, we try to help out listeners who have gone out on a date with somebody, and afterwards, they're not getting a call back. So we heard that not too long ago you went out with a guy named Corey. Wow. That's it. Wow. I don't know.

I mean, it'd probably be really hard to forget, Corey, I would guess. He made quite an impression on us. Yeah, I just, I mean, well, did he tell you how it went? He told us so much. We got the gist that he very much enjoyed being in your company. Dude, and was incredibly impressed with who you are as a human. Yeah, there's a lot of like intellectual flirting going on between the two of you. How was the date?

I mean, it was fine. We definitely connected, but when it comes down to it, I've got to look at the bottom line. And I didn't tell him this. But he's in business management. And he has a side job where he does graphic design. Yeah, that's impressive. Intellectuals job. It's nice.

But the fact that he can juggle too. Sure, but let's think about the follow-through. I've done my research, and I can tell you that AI is going to make his jobs obsolete in about two years. Oh. Oh, wait. You're looking ahead. Depressing facts. Oh, yes, of course.

Why would I date without planning ahead? What's the point of acquisition if not? I didn't think. Is that what all of us think nowadays? She called it an acquisition, the idea of dating. Well, a lot of jobs are going to go away. It's not a bad thing to think. You guys, everyone needs to take a deep breath.

Including Jeney. Like, you don't know how every industry is going to be affected. I mean, we just talked about a story recently where there was some AI slop instead of graphic design. And it made the business turn more into human designers because it was so bad. She's calling your research BS. I mean, I'm not basing this on astrology or vibe. This is just logical thought here. Yeah, but you're not getting a chance to pivot.

Like, move with the changes. Yeah, what if he finds something? Be flexible. Yeah. If he's not aware of this impending disaster about to unfold for him, then that's alarming when it comes to his intelligence. Oh, wow.

Okay, well, listen. Kind of a salt in the wound. Yeah. Because if he wasn't aware before, he definitely is aware now because we need to let you know, Jeney, that Corey's been on the other line of this phone call listening waiting to talk to you.

You wouldn't do that to me. That's so awful. You do it to everybody. But think of it, Jeney. You think it's news he needs to hear. So it's not bad that you told him. I always heard it. Corey, you there?

Oh, my God. I'm here. I'm sorry you had to hear that, Corey. This is very awkward. Yeah, I don't know if I'm more offended by what a crass human being she's turned out to be or far off the mark as she is on on all counts. Wow. What makes her crass, Corey?

Why is she crass? I mean, most people don't just flat out tell you that you're going to hose your job in two years, so you're not even worth investing in now, despite any kind of emotional connection we might have or anything. I mean, that is just so cold and AI-like. Yeah. She didn't know you were on the phone, Corey. Remember that. And may I just say now that you know we're both listening,

crass is quite a level of insult for one syllable, and I'd like to raise the stakes and say you're being rather immature about this. Oh, whoa, three syllables. But respectfully the word immature is rather pedestrian and overused. Oh, we bring us up a good point, I think. I thought maybe I should simplify my point here, but listen to yourself, listen to what you're saying. I need to tell you you're going to get laid off.

Oh, wow. If that happens, I'll shrug my word. shoulders. I bought Bitcoin 20 years ago and I haven't sold it. Oh, he's holding Bitcoin. I work because I love working. Why does anyone who brags about their Bitcoin makes me believe that it's not actually true? Yeah. Like, it's just such a weird thing to mention right now. Uh-huh. What a coincidence. I mean, having the intelligence to buy it 20 years ago is one thing, but let me tell you, it's crazy to depend on such an unstable market. True. Okay. Bitcoin as of this morning, trades at $66,000 a coin.

I started buying them when they were less than $20 a coin. Okay. We're not going to argue for Bitcoin. Like that is not one. I'm bored. It's obviously not interested in you because of your money, Corey. That was the whole point. Like there was like something deeper there and you're missing that with her, right?

Yeah. I mean, and when it comes to fake money, I've got a few different versions of monopoly at home. You know, you can add up all those bills. Well, then I must be a magician because I can pull this trick where I, I put sell and then withdraw funds and real money appears in my account. Okay. Whoa, do you like magicians? Do they turn you on?

Because I guess I am one. Well, Brock, maybe. We do not need to bring magicians into this. My real father was a magician. That's a respectable man. That's right. Yeah. Listen, I'm just going to call it like I see it.

And your defensiveness is a clear indicator of your insecurity. Okay. Boy, that wound's coming from someone. who reads crystals for a living. A grown-up who genuinely believes she can predict the future. Wait. Okay. Wait.

Janay, do you own a gem shop or something? Is that what's happening here? No, I'm a gemologist. Oh. There's a lot of big transactions that go down behind the scenes of a crystal shop. I can't wait until AI hits the gem world. You're going to be really affected. I wish to this crystal shop in Palm Springs.

It was so great. Oh, wow. It probably hurts. You guys should follow this guy on Instagram. Okay. He's incredible. So apparently we're not talking about Bitcoin, but we are willing to delve into crystals. It's a little more interesting.

Yeah, okay. Much deeper. There's a lot of insults and projections being thrown out there, but I want to just bring us back to, like, the emotional connection that I thought you two had on your date. It sounded like. You want like quartz. I think that's a healing crystal. No, I want to leave the crystals in the crystal store. Let's just get to offering.

We would like to send the two of you out on another date. And if you're willing to do that, we would pass on. No. don't think so, guys. Oh, wow. Janay's lay lines and mine don't quite correspond. Okay. Are you guys hippies or are you smart?

I can't tell. You can be both. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. Well, Corey, you've rescinded your invitation to Janay. So, Janay, I'm sorry.

You lost your chance with Corey. That's perfectly fine. I was not interested anymore. You know what? This is one time I'm glad you guys aren't going out again. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

I am curious, so, Janay, do you have any AI predictions about what's going to happen in the radio industry? Because we could really use that information. You know, I have to get going, it turns out. Okay, we're going to think it as resurgence. All right. Yeah, you'll be fine, most likely, I'm sure. She's like using air quotes. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

You think that Jonas Brothers are satisfied? Nope, it's podcast time We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions Hey Jonas is available now

and their first guest is a big one, Paul Rudd. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition at the office or something? I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to him, right?

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That's amazing that we started off that segment with so much hope. Yeah, I thought we were going to match him with the one. Yeah. Me too. And then somehow ended with so much disaster.

Oh my God. I mean, the only regret that I have is, man, if they both would have said yes to a second date and things went well, just think about how ugly that divorce could have been. Oh. It would have made headlines. Oh, my gosh. That's a dark thought. Yeah.

But entertaining, Crystal Shop owner versus semicolon Corey. Trading blows back and forth. Would she get half of his Bitcoin? Definitely. She would come away with the full thing. I don't think she wants any of his Bitcoin. I'm just sad that we couldn't contribute even more entertainment to society with the separation of the century. I just, I really don't need them anymore. That was enough. I had my dose and I'm good.

It's true. But you know, at least we got to hear a snippet of it here for free. Oh, there you go. And you can hear more of it up on our podcast. You know where to go. Oh, you don't? You disgust me. What is going on?

You're never allowed to talk to that guy, Corey. Tell her to go, Brooke. Just go find Brooke and Jeffrey on Spotify or YouTube or anywhere you get your podcast. You're despicable human being. My God.
