And then if it comes back to you, that shows you're really soulmates. Yeah, I've heard that. And my ex has still, it's been, what, six years? She's not listening, Jose. She's not listening. It's open. It hasn't worked for Jose, but someone has come back to us after we let them go when they fell short for a second date from a few months back a little birdie back in our nest his name is logan logan you came back does this mean we're

soulmates yes i've returned to you guys yeah you little clinger clinger last time logan was on he got delayed at the airport and ended up spending about four hours with a woman at the airport bar. And it was really, really good for about the first five minutes until she said Logan got a little bit on her nerves. I don't want to get into too much detail about it, but she spent the next three minutes basically roasting him for being annoying and clingy. I cannot believe you came back. You must be doing something right now because you locked down another date for yourself. Who was it with this time? This girl named Megan.

All right. What did you and Megan do for a date? Well, first of all, let me just preface this all with I learned some very valuable things from my first debacle at the airport there. Okay. What did you take away one is that my perspective of who i am when i get drunk is completely different than someone else's perspective so that actually takes a lifetime for some people to learn you're even better when you're drunk right no i don't yeah yeah in my mind i'm in a tuxedo tap dancing on a table in reality i just like crashed on something birthday cake

i can dance when i drink too yeah so is the perspective now you you wanted to tone it down on the booze a little bit this time around yes so what i said to megan i said i said you know i'm working on myself i'm learning about myself so i want to go on a date with you we're going to get some dinner and um i have one drink minimum oh wait for maximum yeah one drink maximum sorry okay i mean why did you feel like you had to tell her that why didn't you just do that you know i was just letting her in on the fact that i'm like a guy who's under construction but i'm working on some stuff a project women. Women love projects. They actually do. What did she think about that? Was she cool with it?

She seemed fine. I said, yeah, I just want to have one drink. I want to get to know you. I want to be able to listen. So I suggested this fun, almost like a game. I said, for the first 30 minutes of our date, we are only going to pass notes to each other that way everything that's being said or communicated is really focused and important okay you know and thought about well you want to work on your listening but passing notes doesn't involve any listening whatsoever that's more of the reading and writing aspect which is still also good to work on what did she say to that idea she thought it was cute. I think it's a good reaction there.

So then we started getting into things. You know, what matters to you? What's important to you? List three things. And this is all being written down. It sounds like a lot of writing. You could have texted this before the date. I know, but we're there and we're looking into each other's eyes and she starts getting in

on this popcorn thing. She has a dog named Popcorn. Oh. A dog named Popcorn. Okay. I thought it was an appetizer at the table. I was like, what kind of place is this? Oh, yeah. She started getting excited.

So she was like scribbling down popcorn, popcorn this, popcorn that. And I was, you know, I just sent her back like, you know, more question mark, question mark. Because I couldn't believe how much popcorn was coming at me. Weird, man. I need a drink. You need the minimum one drink right now. So did it really go on for 30 minutes? No, it didn't.

It did not. I really overblew that estimate. It was about maybe five to seven minutes in. Got it. And he's like, I'm getting writer's cramp. At that point, I would have, to your face face left you on red, just folded the note. So at that point, after five, whatever, seven minutes, you decided to transfer back to normal vocal conversation.

Yes. And then, and then at that point it was like, okay, so my little cute attempts obviously fell a little, not short, but we adjusted them. So then I also lifted the one drink minimum and I was like, okay, you know what? No rules. See, there we go. Yeah. The good thing is you're adapting.

You know, if you would have said, well, no, I did not break the rules and I forced us for 30 minutes, then of course that's the reason. I feel like he caved to all of it. Like, it's like you set up all these rules for yourself logan i mean were you having fun yeah for sure it was like how many people go out and just do the same mundane thing this was like a something that was memorable so i was having a good time okay what about her yeah she was having a good time maybe and maybe it's something like we don't understand the vibe like you had to be there to feel what was going on between them. Yeah. You know, if you ever watched like that Netflix show,

Wednesday. Yeah. The Addams Family spinoff. It's great. The lead actress is always just sitting there like just with her eyes like looking back

and forth and around. She doesn't blink or smile the entire show. Wait, is that how you're saying your date was? Was like Wednesday Addams in the Netflix show?

No, I'm just saying that there's a lot to be communicated with eyes and just body language. You know, she puts like fear in people. So in your opinion, in your opinion, Logan, no speed bumps? I don't think so. No, it was good. I got a nice hug at the end and I was like, okay, we had a good time.

But then I was setting up a second date and she was like oh, yeah, I'm busy for the next couple of days. Or, you know, this week is really bad next week. So she, yeah, I couldn't read. Is she blowing me off? Sounds like she is. If you think that you had a good time, then we totally believe you on it. And we want to help you get another date here with Megan. With your favorite pen pal.

Yeah. So we're going to call Wednesday Adams here in just a second. First, we're going to play a songams here in just a second first we're gonna play a song come back and then get your second date update right after this awesome all right hold on man second date update we're in the middle of a second date update with a good friend of the show named logan and it's not his first time doing one of these with us i'm playing the adams family theme song because he described his date with a girl named Megan like Wednesday Addams,

the Netflix series, meaning during their dinner they did a lot of staring, a lot of brooding, and non-verbal communicating, which was extremely healthy, by the way. Yes. It's a little bit fearful, but healthy. I mean, Tim Burton

told her not to blink in that show ever because it was creepier. Sure. I get it. It may sound a little out of the ordinary to most people, but Logan did end up getting a hug. And the only thing he hasn't gotten is another date. So we're about to call Megan up here. And I just want to get your approval, Logan, before we do this, to use verbal communication with her. Is that okay with you? Stamped. I stamped your approval, Logan, before we do this, to use verbal communication with her. Is that okay with you?

Stamped. I stamped my approval. Oh, right. Good. It would be really boring if not. Honestly, you know, I felt bad for you the first time that we did a second date update. But I think you're such a good person and confident in who you are, you're going to be able to bounce back from this no matter what she says. Yeah. Oh, thank you. All right. You're welcome. Put that to bounce back from this no matter what she says. Thank you. Put that on a note card and send it over to her.

Okay. Let's just dial her number and we'll see what Megan has to say here. You ready? I'll stay quiet. Good idea. Until we need you to speak up. That's really important. You of all people know how this works. Alright, here it goes.

Hello? Hi, this is Jeff from Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Blink twice if this is Megan, please. How would you say her? Wait, I'm sorry, who's calling? I heard it. There was definitely two blinks in there. She laughed.

She laughed at that, Megan. I'm a funny person, Brooke. Deal with it. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah, you are. Hey, Megan, so you're on the radio right now on a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Oh, I thought this was a prank call. Yeah. We also do those.

We're pretty stereotypical morning radio. We don't normally introduce ourselves before we do them. We just kind of let it happen. You're going to find we're pretty badpical morning radio. We don't normally introduce ourselves before we do that. Right. We just kind of let it happen. You're going to find we're pretty bad at our jobs here. One thing we're kind of good at, though, is helping people get another date. Okay.

You're calling me about a date? Yes. A date you went on with a guy named Logan. Oh, yeah. I remember Logan. Yeah. He's a good friend of ours, actually, I'd say. He seems like a nice guy.

Yeah, I mean, I would say he's a nice guy. Oh, that's good. All right, we're starting off on the right foot. Anything more? Because he told us a little bit about the date. We teased him a little. Brooke teased him, actually. I personally thought it was kind of a fun, creative idea for you to pass notes to each other.

What did you think of it? Yeah, I mean, that part of the date was actually nice. You know, I like a guy that's willing to just improve themselves and try new things. There was just something weird that happened on the date. Was it one of the notes that he passed? Actually, maybe it was that. What do you mean? How do you not know if it was written down? Well, it came to the point where we had to order.

And at that point, we stopped. We didn't just pass notes the whole date. Right. He said it only lasted like five to seven minutes or something in the beginning yeah and that was nice but it came to the point where we had to order and the waitress that showed up to our table and he wrote a note to the waitress and i have no idea what he wrote to her but like she started giggling right away maybe some dietary restrictions that he has. He's gluten free.

She's making fun of him. I don't know. It was very flirty to me and I immediately felt uncomfortable because I didn't know what he wrote and I was like, we were just doing this great thing together and now you're writing her notes?

Right. What's going on here? And that was like his whole preface too is like, I'm doing this because I want to get to know you. And then suddenly he also wants to get to know the waitress. Is that how you read it? Yeah, exactly.

I was like, does he know her? Like, what's what's going on here? And then, you know, she wrote a note back to him. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And she gave him a fist bump, too. Wait, what did it say? Did you ask him?

I mean, I would have been so curious. Yeah, I asked him and he said he was like, it's a secret. in a joking way but i'm like i'm sitting right next to you yeah okay well i'll just tell you megan that we weren't aware that that happened that there was anything going on between logan and the waitress yeah we didn't call her on another line something that you're not aware of probably unless you have a really good sixth sense, is that Logan has been listening quietly on the other line this entire time. He's on the other line, Brooke. And he wants to talk to you with his voice.

Oh, no. Are you serious? It's a good thing. Megan, hi. Oh. He wants to sing it to you, I guess. Megan, this is your chance to get the bottom of what was going on. Yeah, I'm like pulling my hair out here.

I feel like I'm in a bumper car and I'm focused. I'm in a bumper car and I'm focused going forward. And then I just get, bam, hit from the side. Oh, you live in so many analogies from Logan. Vivid imagination. But let's bring it back to, let's talk about the notes that you were passing with the waitress, Logan. I am floored. I am such an idiot.

I cannot believe that I didn't pick up on that that looked bad. Like, I literally, I was in such a high from doing the note passing. And I thought it was so cute that I thought it was neat to just be like, oh, here comes the waitress. We're including her in the game for a second. Yeah. And, you know, I thought maybe she'd pass a note. Megan, I thought you'd pass a note to the waitress if you wanted to. Get the whole restaurant passing notes to each other.

All I wrote was, like, playing a note game with my date. What's good or what's your favorite? And she wrote shrimp taco. And you fist bumped over shrimp tacos? And she laughed over that? I said I was like fo' sho' or something like a little joke. I was like fo' sho' shrimp S-T or something. And she goes, yes, favorite.

And then I was like, done. How much did she write? Do you believe him, Megan? Yeah. I was not getting the vibe that this was something like fun and it was a game that the whole restaurant could have been involved in. I mean, you made it seem to me like you were trying to improve yourself and you were trying to prove to me that, you know, you had interest in me and you wanted to kind of get to know me better. That's what I got.

So it's just your actions did not make sense to me. I should have showed you the note. I thought I was being cute when I was like, oh, it's a secret. Like, to me, it didn't mean anything. You can ask these wonderful radio personalities. We talked about the date thoroughly. Not once did I even consider the waitress as being anything. That's because you were hiding, Logan, that you secretly got her phone number on one of the notes.

Oh, that's an accusation, Jeff. I mean, it's what a lot of people were thinking. Be honest, Logan. Did you get the waitress's number? Absolutely not. I mean, would she have given it to me if I asked? Probably. Oh, so there was a vibe. Are you trying to make her jealous?

What are you doing? Why would you say that? I was trying to be charming, and I thought if this other girl was giggling, I thought it was points for me. Like, oh, people like him. Clearly I was wrong. Don't charm other women when you're on a date. You guys know me.

I'm a charismatic, charming guy. Bro, you and I have the same curse. We make everyone we talk to laugh. And sometimes it backfires a little bit. I don't know why she laughed at that. Megan, I know that this is a lot coming at you, but from my perspective,

it's just like you're going out with a guy who's just very charming to a lot of people naturally. Very likable. He doesn't even try to do it. He's just kind of that type of person. Is that something that is a little bit intimidating to you? Is he too charming? No, I don't think anybody can be too charming.

Are you sure? We've had him on the dating segment multiple times. Women love him. I don't think that's helpful. Wait, he was on here before with different ladies? Oh, no. He's a wanted man. I'm sorry.

I just meant you know You're lovable I was trying to make a point about that To be fair That one went a lot worse Than this one's going Believe it or not Megan A lot worse

Yeah this one's better He is making strides Towards improvement Okay We gotta stop like Chit chatting about this And just get you two out On another date

Seriously Yeah and Megan They said they're gonna to pay for it. They're going to take us to, they're going to have us go to a nice place. See, he knows how it works. Wait, we never said nice. Normally, that's my job,

but yeah, Logan's done this so many times, he can pretty much do it himself. Sorry, I'm trying to get to the action. So, Megan, what do you say? One more date with Logan on us. Yes. I think you guys are hilarious. And Logan, I get where you're coming from.

I would rather have a guy be super charismatic and funny and kind of have everybody like him rather than being a dork that doesn't have any confidence. Or boring. I think that was a compliment. You two may be made for each other.

Yeah. So, what do you say? It's happening. I think I'll do it. Let's go out again. All right. Okay. Wow.

Guys, thank you so much. Yeah. It takes a team. It takes a village. And you guys are my true ones there. That's not a brag. It takes a village to get me a date. Look at Jeffrey in the morning. Okay. I'm going to say this, and I mean it in the nicest way possible.

Oh, boy. I hope we never, ever hear from Logan ever again. Because I want this thing to work out between him and Megan. And he never asked for another second date update. I'm going to be honest. I can't believe we did it. I know. I mean, and Logan kept getting in his way.

His own way. Yeah. But we got through that. And I think I got in his way a little bit too. Yeah. But it's okay. But that's what Logan does. Like, even though he doesn't always say the right thing, he's just so likable.

You want to keep being around him and keep talking to him. Yeah. And the good takeaway here, though, is probably don't flirt with the waiter or waitress while your date is still seated at the table Why do we still have to say things like this? Well, don't do it while they're there Wait until they leave to go to the bathroom That's the trick Then you can get your flirt up

Or on the check or something Alexis is a pro, she knows Leave a big tip and a phone number Anyway, I really do hope Logan and Megan go the distance. The only other time I want to hear from them is maybe for a second date update update. Oh, me too. I want to hear how it goes with them. Even then, I want it to be very, very brief.

And I don't know if Logan's able to do it. But best of luck to them. And if you want help getting another date, email us at Brooke and Jeffrey. We'll call the person who isn't calling you back. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Ugh, we're so done with new year, new you. This year, it's more you on

Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what?
