Like for Alexis, she always checks a 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 things.

For Jose, he's looking for a lady, preferably a breathing one. Preferred. It's not a deal breaker. No, it's not. I just hope she's holding her breath. As for Brooke, well, she's taken. Yeah, of course. At least that's what the missing posters of her husband say.

Taken. Call anytime. Please give him back. 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.

You're welcome. Where did you find this lovely lady? What attracted you to her? So I found her on a dating app. She looked really pretty. She seemed funny, smart. But I really am into juggling. I watch a lot of j juggling videos on youtube and she

she's an amateur juggler so i thought that was really really cool yeah that's like a match made right there so wait do you juggle or do you just watch other people do it no i am a strict spectator i i can't juggle but i watch hours of juggling videos on YouTube. It is. Wait, like it's a turn on when you 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 very. I hope that doesn't turn you on. And then you light it on fire and it's like, axes, knives. It gets very... I hope that doesn't turn you on.

And then you light it on fire, and it's like, oh, man. Did you hear his voice when he started talking about axes? It's very intense. I suggest you watch some of the videos. You'll see what I'm talking about. I think we get it now, but let's move on from this. Did we learn her name yet? Oh, Katie.

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 our plan was to see a movie. And 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 juggling gear.

That'd be fun. I think she thought I was joking. I was serious. But whatever. That's fine. You can do that on the date. Hey hey look at the salt and pepper shakers that's true or all the different concessions from the movie you sound like 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 the um but anyway it's more of a third date thing anyway i know we're kind of like brushing 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 pressuring her into 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. As I look back on it and thought about it, you know, what could have gone wrong with the date? I think I diagnosed it. Okay. You seem like a very analytical person. So what do you got?

Yeah. Well, so I think I didn't get a callback because towards the end of the movie, the main character dies and I cried. I kind of like had these heaving sobs heaving sobs yeah bro I'm the same in movies dude I did commercials will make me cry you think you were like too ugly of a crier for her well no I 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 you bro well it could have been maybe she turned away because she was worried she was going to start crying too seeing you cry you know i don't know it was just it was very

intense and i just got this energy sense that perhaps that made her uncomfortable or i'm not sure what but or maybe she was worried that you were going to ask her to juggle your tears make you happy again i didn't know i didn't do anything like that we know we know so you're saying after the after the crying in the movie the mood shifted yeah it shifted so 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, is the first date. That's understandable. So I kind of kissed her, like, nose. Were you still snotty from all the crying previously? No, I always carry, I have a crying previously no i 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 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. Okay. I mean, overall, dude, you sound like a pretty good guy. You need 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 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 could very appropriate for a firstants and a dress shirt? Now you're taking it over the top, bro.

Who are you trying to impress? It's a dark theater. He's kidding. A lot of people think I'm weird, too, and they don't get me. Maybe you and I are kind of kindred spirits in that sense. Let's play a song. We'll come back. We'll try.

We'll try and do it. No promises. We'll call Katie and try and get the second date update, okay? Okay. Thank you. Hold on. Second date update. 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 because one of his favorite things is to watch people juggle thank you yeah can we start with that next time oh well 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 But Greg says the real awkward moment may have been when he cried during the movie.

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. Which, for the record, still counts as a kiss.

Okay? I'm just saying. As long as the lips make contact, then it counts. You make contact with the body. Okay? It's a kiss. You doing okay? Yes. I'm just want to get to the bottom of this. Okay. Okay. Take some deep breaths, man.

I mean, she may say something you might not want to hear, so just be ready. He's breathing. Oh, he's breathing. Yeah, that's good. Breathing is a good thing. We should all breathe more. Another underrated skill to have.

So you keep breathing. We're going to call Katie Furry and see what she has to say, all right? Oh, wow, you held it for a long time. That was good. This might actually be more of a challenge than I was thinking before we started. But we'll tell you when to come in. Okay. You just keep doing your thing.

Here we go. Hello. Hey, is this Katie? Yes. Hey, Katie. My name is Jeff from the radio show Brooke and 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. We got a podcast too you can check out on Spotify.

True. It's fun. Okay. Yep. She's good morning bath. We've got a podcast, too. You can check out on Spotify. True. It's fun. Okay. Yep. She's not interested. Yep, that's all we wanted to call. I'm just confused. No, no.

Okay. Well, we're also in the middle of a segment right now called the Second Date Update. 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 look at that you're right he's on your mind huh um he wasn't Oh. Greg seems like a sweet guy. Did you have a good time? Um, I mean, it was okay.

Yeah. Not the review. 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 wanted to know what the date was like from your perspective. Right. No, he's a very nice guy.

Good. He's just, I don't know. He's not really my type. Are 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 is kind of, he 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. Ew, no. For a while. Wow, that's a very cool. For a while. Oh, yeah. I just, it's classy, you know. I agree, yeah. 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 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 towards the end of the movie the 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. He's going to be fine. This guy's okay. I mean, from what it sounds like, he's kind of a straight-laced, uptight guy, and you're more of a laid-back, loose

type of lady. We don't use those words. We say, like, go with the flow. Okay. Yeah, flowing lady. Yeah, sometimes lady. No. Okay. I think what Jeffrey's trying to say is that sometimes opposites attract. Yeah.

Right? In fact, I think your opposite is on the other line right now looking to attract over to you as we speak. Uh-oh. Unloose, unflowing. What are you talking about? Just tell her that he's on the phone. Okay, fine. I'll be straight laced. He's on the phone. Okay, fine. I'll be straight-laced.

He's on the other phone line. What phone line exactly? He's on line five, and he would like to speak to you right now. Hi, Katie. Oh, my goodness. It's good to hear your voice. Hi. Hello.

It's Greg. It's Greg. She knows. He sounds different. Why do you sound different, Greg? I was holding my breath. Oh, my goodness. Oh, wow. Okay. I told you sound different, Greg? I was holding my breath. Oh, my goodness. Oh, wow.

Okay. I'm also, I'm admittedly nervous. It's really good to hear your voice, Katie. You sound really good. That's nice to say, but did you hear the stuff she was saying? Well, I mean, I did take notes. One thing I wanted to clarify, with that 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 the second thing I just wanted to say is I've seen this film. I'm going to confess. I've seen it actually twice. I had this kind of emotional reaction both times which i think confirms that it's a pretty profound film and i think it justifies the okay 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 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. I'm sure that there's things that Greg probably saw that may have kind of been flaws about you. Good point. Well, if I may, to answer your question. I wasn't asking you to air them out. There's an open door

i just first wanted to say katie i know you're you're more spontaneous than me uh you're in the moment an improviser but on average that personality type they die 4.8 years younger than someone who is organized and prepared. That's a statistical fact. That is wild. I see. You're saying her time is running short, so she better date you while she still can.

And when that personality type is complemented with someone who's an organizer and is prepared, you actually see an increase in average age. Oh, so like an average boy, Greg, is going to increase your lifetime. That is actually probably the best ploy or like... Do you even know if that's right? I feel like this sounds like a threat. Like, get with me or you're going to die soon.

He's just saying he'll compliment your personality. He'll help you live longer. Statistics aside, Katie, 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. He's getting a little clinical. How about, I think someday Katie, you're going to want to hike up a very dangerous cliff and he's going to be there to stop you from doing that because

statistically not a great decision. Yeah. You need someone like that in your life. How did this work? Did he pay you guys to do this? No.

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 bit i think i broke it down it looks to me 75 of our evening was fun we had 20 that was silence of the film and five percent i would, that was awkward. That seems like a pretty strong argument for us. And then if you add to it that basically this would be a free state. Oh, I mean, it's going to be 80% fun at least if we get the free gift card.

Science says, Katie, you got to go out with Drake. That certainly turned me on. So you should definitely say yes. If the science says I got to do it it i will give it one more shot oh we're gonna oh this is gonna be fun i'm going i'll have two shots and i won't use a straw. I promise. And then we're going to have sex. Oh, my gosh. Calm down, Greg.

It's not guaranteed. Can I change my mind? No. He was joking. That was a joke, Katie. That's new, Greg. He jokes a lot. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

You know, there's people that you want to root for in life. And then there's Greg. I am so... The guys you really want to root for. That's what I meant. Why you gotta say it like that, bro? Even that last line. I mean, his little statement at the end there.

But still, I love him. He's been a wild time. Who knew that you could take a no to a yes just by throwing out life expectancy? You date me, you're going to live 4.8 years longer, honey. If they are in a relationship, there are going to be so many PowerPoint presentations. And Excel spreadsheets. This is why we should go to my parents for Christmas. Doesn't even matter if it's actually backed by true science.

It's still hot. We actually didn't fact check him at all. We didn't know, but we believed everything. We don't fact check anything. That's why you shouldn't believe everything on the radio. That's true, too. And when was the last time we've had anybody come on and cheer at the end saying, I'm going to have sex? You're right.

Even though it's not true. I think it doesn't happen enough. And then we're going to have sex. Oh, my God. We need more of that in this world. Calling out to all the uptight, rigid men. We want you. Let's go.

Okay. Yeah. I don't know how we ended up there, but, yes, I'm rooting for Greg. Can I just end with that? And remember, if you want to get a second date update, email us, and we can call that person who's not calling you back. And then we're going to have sex. 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?
