Speaker 1: Hey, thanks so much for being here on the weekend.

Speaker 2: in the morning, the official one, and every.
Speaker 1: Saturday we feature two classics. Yeah, yeah, exactly that.
Speaker 3: Ye.
Speaker 1: Put them back to back so you get a little
Speaker 1: longer dose.
Speaker 4: Ye.
Speaker 2: And also if you guys love these and you want
Speaker 2: to see what they look like live, we're actually doing
Speaker 2: video now.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is a visual aspect to it all.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The better worse, I don't know. Yeah, And we're rolling
Speaker 1: out a little slowly.
Speaker 2: We don't have the biggest team in the world, so
Speaker 2: we're doing as much as we can. We've got two
Speaker 2: live videos up right now on our YouTube page at
Speaker 2: Briock and Jeffrey. Thank you so much for checking those
Speaker 2: out and for subscribing and leaving a comment.
Speaker 1: Even if it's a comment that you were disappointed. We'll
Speaker 1: take that perfect too.
Speaker 2: Honestly, you took time out of your day to write
Speaker 2: us can appreciate you. So if you haven't, go check
Speaker 2: them out on YouTube again at Brick and Jeffrey, and
Speaker 2: your back to back classics start right now.
Speaker 6: It's good to set rules and boundaries early on in
Speaker 6: a new relationship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Communications key there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like when Brooks started dating her husband, she made
Speaker 6: a rule on night one he wasn't allowed to cry
Speaker 6: when they hooked up. Well, let's just say that rule
Speaker 6: didn't last very long. One of them, but one of
Speaker 6: our listeners, was given a different stipulation before his first date.
Speaker 6: He had to say yes to it in order for
Speaker 6: them to meet. Is it better or worse than Brooks
Speaker 6: list of strict demands? We're gonna find out when we
Speaker 6: do your second date update.
Speaker 7: Next, Brook and Jeffrey in the morning Second Date Update.
Speaker 6: If anyone's been out on a date recently, you know
Speaker 6: how expensive it can be, not just for the food
Speaker 6: and drinks, but the blindfolds and the rubber bands.
Speaker 1: I thought you're going to say parking.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you do need a place to park before
Speaker 6: you set up all the rubber bands. I see, and
Speaker 6: I cannot find one strong enough to hold my wrists
Speaker 6: down anymore. Wow, I don't know that is it's the tariffs, God,
Speaker 6: the tariffs on maximum strength rubber bands from Indonesia. They
Speaker 6: are through the roof right now.
Speaker 1: You just drive the rubber bands they put on a sparagus.
Speaker 1: Those are the fat boys.
Speaker 6: Are still not strong enough.
Speaker 8: Expensive, not stronger, Jeff.
Speaker 6: But that was the only place that make them stronger,
Speaker 6: and they cost so much money. I'm just I'm happy
Speaker 6: that our listener Leo figured out how to save a
Speaker 6: buck or two on his date recently, and I'm very
Speaker 6: curious how we did it. So Leo, welcome to the show.
Speaker 6: It's like what we get.
Speaker 2: Hello, Leo, are the rubber band tariffs hitting you hard
Speaker 2: to or did you rubber band yourself?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 5: No, I'm still here.
Speaker 9: I'm doing all right.
Speaker 6: Okay, where you get your extra strength rubber bands from?
Speaker 10: I don't typically need to get a lot of them.
Speaker 8: People just save them from random mail.
Speaker 6: That's actually kind of smart.
Speaker 9: I got them, or though I got too many of them.
Speaker 11: Actually.
Speaker 6: Share the wealth at some point. But hey, I know
Speaker 6: you went on a date with somebody recently. What's her name?
Speaker 9: He names Marissa?
Speaker 6: Okay, where'd you meet her?
Speaker 10: We matched on bumble and we connected over a love
Speaker 10: of dogs. You know, we have two dogs, and it's
Speaker 10: just we we can't get enough of them. I mean,
Speaker 10: if we lived in bigger places, then we probably have
Speaker 10: more than just two, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: Like one hundred and one Dalmatians that movie like yeah, okay,
Speaker 6: but you said in your email you were able to
Speaker 6: save some money on your date. How did you do that?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 10: Yeah, So when we matched at first, she was very
Speaker 10: clear that she wanted to be friends.
Speaker 9: She didn't want to jump into anything like relationship.
Speaker 5: Here we go, she was.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10: So I suggested after we matched, just grabbing a coffee,
Speaker 10: but she countered with, how about we go to a
Speaker 10: flea market.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, that's how you say you come from. I
Speaker 6: was gonna say, that's how you saved money on your
Speaker 6: day with the flea market discounts.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was willing to spend it. It was her idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: I think it's impressive that you are good with being
Speaker 2: friends first.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I wouldn't do that, but that's great that I'm sort
Speaker 10: of the kind of guy that doesn't really want to
Speaker 10: jump into anything too fast myself. So I do have
Speaker 10: friends that are women, So like, if we decide that
Speaker 10: it doesn't work out, it's like, okay, well if we're
Speaker 10: at that friendship level first and we can stay that
Speaker 10: way and then you know, it's a positive.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I love that when you're like naturally friends totally. But
Speaker 8: what Brooke was saying too, to be like, I'm setting
Speaker 8: the tone friend zone right away.
Speaker 6: It's good that you work with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's refreshing, I guess, is the thing.
Speaker 6: So take us to the flea market though, How did
Speaker 6: that go?
Speaker 9: It went okay, which is better than okay, which is
Speaker 9: kind of weird to me. Why I haven't heard from
Speaker 9: her since then?
Speaker 10: But before I get into that, Yeah, we met up
Speaker 10: there and she looked like her pictures.
Speaker 9: Thank god, she was really really cute.
Speaker 1: You didn't want a friend that looks like somebody else.
Speaker 6: A friend thing does make it different, now, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: that's right. You can't really judge that. Okay.
Speaker 9: So she was excited to be there too, and bargain
Speaker 9: hunt and all that, and we walked around that flee
Speaker 9: market for a good hour and a half.
Speaker 6: Yeah, what did you get into like a creative old
Speaker 6: used VHS tapes.
Speaker 8: Or rubber bands favorite?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, no rubber bands, but we did see vhss. There
Speaker 9: was a station that had a lot of those.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, man, shocking, they're not selling so quickly.
Speaker 8: Has the machines to play them?
Speaker 6: Okay, So how was your connection with Marissa?
Speaker 9: It was good And I know that sometimes for these things.
Speaker 9: You guys ask what we talked about. We actually talked
Speaker 9: about taxidermy.
Speaker 6: Friends don't.
Speaker 1: Bund to find a couple whirls.
Speaker 10: Or yeah, we saw a boot for that actually for
Speaker 10: the texto Durny and uh. In fact, there was actually
Speaker 10: a fox there with a monocle on. So Marissa thought
Speaker 10: that it looks like elegance and I thought it.
Speaker 9: Looked straight up haunted. I was like, I would never
Speaker 9: let that into my home.
Speaker 2: Stuff fox, Well, that sounds like a funny point of
Speaker 2: conversation one moments.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 6: It was did you guys buy anything? Take anything home? Yeah?
Speaker 9: We each got one thing. I got a Fleetwood mac
Speaker 9: record and she got one of those novelty aprons where
Speaker 9: it looks like there's a shirtless firefighter on the front.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, so is that is that it?
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, that's it. We each got the one thing,
Speaker 9: and then I walked her back to her place, and
Speaker 9: on the way back it was starting to get kind
Speaker 9: of chilly, so I gave her my jacket and when
Speaker 9: we got to her place, I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 9: you could just you can just hang on to it.
Speaker 10: Because I was so confident that we would meet up again,
Speaker 10: because that's how well the first date went. And now
Speaker 10: she's not answering any of my text or calls, and
Speaker 10: it's like, Hey, as much as I would like to
Speaker 10: see Marissa, I would also like my jacket back.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, if you think about it, this cheap date
Speaker 2: actually costs you a lot of money if you lose
Speaker 2: that jacket.
Speaker 7: Room.
Speaker 1: Yeah, taxidermy is not cheap.
Speaker 6: Jeff I could imagine that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that didn't happen. Thank god.
Speaker 1: Thoughts is only haunting his dreams, not his house.
Speaker 6: Yeah right, how long has it been since the Flea
Speaker 6: market date.
Speaker 9: It's been about two weeks.
Speaker 2: Oh, bit, you've gone without a jacket for two weeks.
Speaker 6: That's not its only.
Speaker 2: Jacket, I don't know, only favorite if you wore it,
Speaker 2: I know, and the one he feels like he looks
Speaker 2: good in it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it is my favorite jacket. I've got like
Speaker 9: one or two others, but they're not they're not my favorite.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Oh, this is dire, Jeffrey, this is code red. We're
Speaker 6: going to reach out and call Marissa trying gets you
Speaker 6: one your jacket back, and then two possibly another meet
Speaker 6: up with her when we do your second date update
Speaker 6: coming up right after this.
Speaker 7: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning Second date update.
Speaker 6: Friends ghost each other, right, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Mean I mean politely, Yeah, eventually you get back together.
Speaker 6: Alexis if a friend wore the same outfit as you,
Speaker 6: they're getting blackballed.
Speaker 13: For like, right, I mean I usually want to copies
Speaker 13: my friend's outfreudn't talk to you.
Speaker 8: Yeah, just like.
Speaker 6: It just seems like if you agree to go out
Speaker 6: as friends first, then there'd be less pressure on the
Speaker 6: like hangout, you wouldn't get ditched.
Speaker 8: If you're just focused on friends, You're just focused on
Speaker 8: having a good day.
Speaker 1: Maybe she's a terrible friend.
Speaker 6: It is weird because our listener Leo has not heard
Speaker 6: from Marissa for the last two weeks after they hung out.
Speaker 6: And the worst case scenario I'm thinking of is if
Speaker 6: Leo goes back to that flea market and his jack
Speaker 6: it is up.
Speaker 2: For sale worn.
Speaker 1: By the fox with the monocle.
Speaker 6: Oh even worse. That would not be good. Leo. Have
Speaker 6: you checked the flea market or possibly eBay for your.
Speaker 9: Jacket to be fair?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 9: I have not.
Speaker 1: Okay, great jacket caper.
Speaker 2: That's what she does to steal their jackets and then
Speaker 2: resell them on second hand storm.
Speaker 6: See, anything is possible, especially since she's the one that
Speaker 6: recommended the flea market in the first place. But you
Speaker 6: never thought about.
Speaker 5: That, Leo, No, I didn't think about that anybody.
Speaker 2: You probably won't put a lot more thought into it.
Speaker 6: It's probably not the case, is why you come to
Speaker 6: the show. We're creative, creative investigators.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, like, do we bring up the jacket.
Speaker 8: And maybe after you know, she'll bring it if she
Speaker 8: says yes to a date.
Speaker 6: Is it more important that you get the jacket back
Speaker 6: or that you have another hangout and stay friends with Marissa.
Speaker 10: I gotta be honest, It's more important to me that
Speaker 10: I get the jacket back because I really liked that jacket.
Speaker 6: Okay, and you've only met this girl one time and
Speaker 6: she just wan be friends with you. It's gonna really
Speaker 6: hurt her feelings when I tell her that. But you
Speaker 6: know what, that's what he wants. Okay, let me know what.
Speaker 6: I'll hold off. Hold off.
Speaker 1: I mean she might want the jacket more than him too,
Speaker 1: We don't know.
Speaker 6: Let's find out. I'm going to dial her number right now.
Speaker 6: Let's see if she picks up. But here we go. Hello, Hey,
Speaker 6: is this Marissa. Yes, Hey, this is probably the weirdest
Speaker 6: phone call you're going to get all day, unless he's
Speaker 6: like already talk to your ex or something. But you're
Speaker 6: on the radio right now with a show called Brook
Speaker 6: and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 13: Wait, I'm wait this is the radio.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but yes, yes, we're a show. We try to
Speaker 6: help out our listeners who've hung out with somebody recently
Speaker 6: and they're not getting a call back to hang out
Speaker 6: a second time.
Speaker 13: That's weird.
Speaker 8: It's actually not weird. It's our bread and butter.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't get, but it's weird for you.
Speaker 1: We get understand why that would be strange. Strange call.
Speaker 5: I've never heard this, so it's just uh total.
Speaker 6: So we're trying to help out our listener that you
Speaker 6: hung out with recently named Leo.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah you remember Leo.
Speaker 13: Yeah, sorry, I'm like catching up right now. Okay, so
Speaker 13: he called you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we we spoke to him before and he told
Speaker 6: us about your hangout at the flea market.
Speaker 13: Okay, so he probably wants his jacket, I assume, so
Speaker 13: I can just like leave it outside my place.
Speaker 8: That's all your focus on is the jacket. You're not
Speaker 8: focused on him at all.
Speaker 13: I'm I'm just not really into.
Speaker 2: Him, Okay, but I thought that you just wanted to
Speaker 2: be friends. That's what you said, Like you're not into
Speaker 2: him even as a friend.
Speaker 13: Yeah. I think when people start dating, the idea should
Speaker 13: be that you start as friends and then if it
Speaker 13: progresses from there, great, But I just don't really see
Speaker 13: any hope for that in this situation.
Speaker 6: After one Well, it's fair like you're allowed to feel
Speaker 6: that way. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just feel like if you're going to start it
Speaker 2: as friends, you've got to be more open. You've got
Speaker 2: to give it a little bit more time, because sometimes
Speaker 2: friendship in general just takes time.
Speaker 12: It's so bad that you know, Yeah, I mean, what
Speaker 12: can I ask?
Speaker 6: Was there something like one particular thing that made you
Speaker 6: feel that way when you were hanging out with him?
Speaker 12: Overall?
Speaker 13: I can tell you this, The date itself was pretty good. Okay,
Speaker 13: it was nice. He's cute, I liked him. We did
Speaker 13: have a nice time.
Speaker 2: That is not the response I thought you were going
Speaker 2: to say. I thought you were going to say like
Speaker 2: there was no sexual chemistry.
Speaker 6: Or Brooke does have a lot of sexual chemistry with
Speaker 6: all of her friends. I can understand a lot of
Speaker 6: family members too, so it kind of blurs the lines.
Speaker 6: But for knowing, I mean, no, I know exactly what
Speaker 6: you mean. So for you, what was it exactly?
Speaker 13: Okay, So the date was good. It's just when I
Speaker 13: got home, he let me borrow his jacket because it
Speaker 13: got kind of chilly. And when I hung up with
Speaker 13: the jacket, this little okay, this little piece of paper
Speaker 13: fell out and I picked it up and he had
Speaker 13: made a list titled things not to say on the
Speaker 13: date with Marissah.
Speaker 2: Wow, I know, but sometimes I do better in my
Speaker 2: head if I write things down.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it depends on what things he was telling himself
Speaker 6: to say to her. Yeah, can we know what some
Speaker 6: of the things were.
Speaker 13: There was one that said, don't talk about the X
Speaker 13: like you did with the last girl.
Speaker 2: Well, that's an important reminder, which should be number one
Speaker 2: on this.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 13: It's's weird that it's been an issue, Like it's something
Speaker 13: you have to remind yourself not to do. I mean,
Speaker 13: that's like a red flag for me.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's another one.
Speaker 13: There was something that said a girl who don't like
Speaker 13: crypto chat? Yeah, again, like it's just another weird thing,
Speaker 13: Like is he super into crypto, then like me.
Speaker 1: Why is that already being to crypto?
Speaker 6: This means he's potentially rich.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he's a no, not no, she is right.
Speaker 8: Every crypto bro will tell you they're rich, but not
Speaker 8: all of them are.
Speaker 2: I mean, but you don't see these things as just
Speaker 2: I don't know, thoughtful preparation before a date.
Speaker 13: I just think it's better to plan nice things than
Speaker 13: to write out things you should not do that you
Speaker 13: usually do that turns people off.
Speaker 8: Oh that's me being like, don't talk much. I know,
Speaker 8: you know, it's like it's a good thing to say,
Speaker 8: don't exactly.
Speaker 6: Because one of the things that I wrote down was
Speaker 6: don't tell Marissa that Leo is on the other line
Speaker 6: listening and wants to talk to it.
Speaker 1: Forgot. Oh was I not supposed to Oh my.
Speaker 6: God, Marissa. Wait, yeah, Leo's on the other line listening
Speaker 6: to this conversation.
Speaker 13: You're kidding, You're kidding right now.
Speaker 6: I told myself not to say that to you. I'm sorry, Leo.
Speaker 6: Are you there?
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 3: This is this is pretty awkward.
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, I.
Speaker 6: Know, I'm sorry, and I know I wasn't supposed to
Speaker 6: say it. So the awkward.
Speaker 13: I can't believe you did that. I can't believe and
Speaker 13: tell me that effort.
Speaker 1: Wait your Madame Jeffrey though, right, not Leo.
Speaker 13: I'm I don't even I'm upset. I don't know.
Speaker 6: It was my fault. It was my fault. I'll take
Speaker 6: the blame.
Speaker 5: Leo.
Speaker 6: Talk to Marissa about what you just heard.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the good thing now is that you
Speaker 3: know all my weaknesses, you know all the bad things
Speaker 3: that I tried to not do on our date. That's
Speaker 3: a positive, right, Okay?
Speaker 13: Well, you also wrote on your little list, remember to
Speaker 13: tip this time. This is all They're all red flags
Speaker 13: and things that you're saying that you usually do and
Speaker 13: don't do this. Don't let her like see who you are?
Speaker 13: Is what this list feels like.
Speaker 9: Marissa. I don't think you were reading the note right.
Speaker 9: The note actually said don't forget to tip big Oh no.
Speaker 13: No I didn't, And now you're just lying.
Speaker 1: Listen, listen.
Speaker 2: I mean you've got a person here who really likes you,
Speaker 2: who's trying to be a better person.
Speaker 1: I mean, what more can you want from someone who
Speaker 1: a guy who can admit their flaws is nice? You
Speaker 1: actually and actually take action to change them.
Speaker 13: I get someone who doesn't have so many red flags
Speaker 13: and issues talking about his ex all the time and
Speaker 13: doesn't tip, and it's into crypto.
Speaker 11: This is so messed up.
Speaker 2: I think it's your perspective, though. I think if you
Speaker 2: looked at it the other way, they're all green flags.
Speaker 6: And I haven't heard him mention his ex girlfriend once
Speaker 6: during this entire fune throng, And he doesn't have his
Speaker 6: little paper in front of him to remind him not
Speaker 6: to do that.
Speaker 1: We didn't even know he had one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I actually I actually wrote that on the paper
Speaker 9: before I called the radio station. Actually, but I'm doing well, Oh.
Speaker 1: You do have a paper right now as well.
Speaker 13: Okay, I feel like I'm being set up and I
Speaker 13: kind of want to go now.
Speaker 6: Well, Mersa, don't you feel like maybe you're being a
Speaker 6: little bit harsh and judging him a lot for like
Speaker 6: a piece of paper that you found.
Speaker 13: No, not really like I'm not even like someone I
Speaker 13: want to. I just don't even don't care enough.
Speaker 6: No, but you will hold onto his jacket for two weeks.
Speaker 8: On the jacket?
Speaker 6: What are you doing there?
Speaker 1: She said that she'd leave it on her doorstep.
Speaker 13: I'll put it out today.
Speaker 9: No, wait, don't put it outside. Someone's gonna steal it.
Speaker 9: It's a really nice jacket.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then they're going to have all the tips
Speaker 6: about what not to do. So Marissa, would you at
Speaker 6: least meet up with him to hand him his jacket
Speaker 6: in person.
Speaker 13: I'll put your jacket out at seven, come and get
Speaker 13: it at seven.
Speaker 1: Okay, well there's a deadline.
Speaker 9: Wow, Marissa, I'm just going to say that you're not
Speaker 9: as nice as you were on our first date, and
Speaker 9: then it's not going to help you make more friends
Speaker 9: if you're not this nice, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: That's her. That's some friendly advice.
Speaker 13: For the tip. I think I'll be fine.
Speaker 6: Oh and he tips. See look what he does. He
Speaker 6: really comes through.
Speaker 1: Those bullet points.
Speaker 6: Are it really is thrilling?
Speaker 7: Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 6: Man, I'm just reading the textboard after that second date,
Speaker 6: and someone actually scored each of our performances. Oh they said,
Speaker 6: Jeff succinct, humorous, off the cuff, handsome, nine out of ten.
Speaker 1: No one.
Speaker 6: Text Alexis, Jose and Brooke combined nine out of ten.
Speaker 6: Combine though, yikes, I like it. I'm disappointed in all
Speaker 6: of you that you guys didn't try harder for that
Speaker 6: poor poor man. Alexis, do you promise to do better
Speaker 6: next time than we have a listener time? You're not
Speaker 6: even sure, Jose you win on doing better. I don't
Speaker 6: know what's going on. I'm three Brook. Please will you
Speaker 6: actually try for our listeners?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 6: Always, no wonder you guys were all rated threes. But
Speaker 6: if you want to find email us now that you've
Speaker 6: heard our enthusiasm exactly. If you can't email us if
Speaker 6: you want us to help you with your dating life,
Speaker 6: but go check out all of our second dates wherever
Speaker 6: you get your podcasts, they're up online at Brook and Jeffrey.
Speaker 7: Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 6: We've heard of people meeting in public places before, like
Speaker 6: at a dog park, in a fitness class, in the
Speaker 6: waiting room of your couple's counseling session. Ante, it's gonna happen,
Speaker 6: But I promise you you've never heard of anything like
Speaker 6: this before. Because what one guy did to ask out
Speaker 6: a woman he saw outside a coffee shop is creative,
Speaker 6: it's unique, it's even funny. So it's no wonder our
Speaker 6: listener is so desperate to see this dude one more time.
Speaker 6: You're gonna hear about the smooth move he pulled in
Speaker 6: your second date update right after.
Speaker 7: This brooken Jeffrey in the morning Second date Updates.
Speaker 6: Is there any way to do the math to figure
Speaker 6: out what type of person you're the most compatible with?
Speaker 1: Is there math for that?
Speaker 6: Start with affectionate, multiply by heavy petting, subtract two blindfolds,
Speaker 6: keep one, divide with an overbearing mother, and oh, this
Speaker 6: is maths.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 6: Now, You're going to die alone. Every time I try
Speaker 6: to calculate this, I keep coming up with the same answer.
Speaker 1: It's like time zero anytime you add the mother.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, saying goodness, our listener, Justine found a different formula,
Speaker 6: and hopefully her results are better than mine, because apparently
Speaker 6: she's been single for a bit now. But Justine, how's
Speaker 6: the dating worlds going for you? Are you also reserving
Speaker 6: a burial plot for one?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I could hear you.
Speaker 2: I can hear you laughing through the tears, So that's good.
Speaker 2: It's all right, Justine.
Speaker 1: But the funny thing is you're not alone in that.
Speaker 6: A lot of us are out there with you. But
Speaker 6: you said that you figured out some sort of mathematic
Speaker 6: formula to help you with your dating life. What was that?
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's like this online test. You put in all
Speaker 11: the stuff that you care about, like your preferences and
Speaker 11: whatever for like finding a partner, and it's suppose we'll
Speaker 11: come back with like the percentage of men on dating
Speaker 11: apps who like fit those preferences.
Speaker 1: Oh really, wait they also take the test center.
Speaker 2: No, I think that it probably I'm guessing it's an
Speaker 2: algorithm that goes through and looks at their dating profiles.
Speaker 1: Is that how it works?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 11: And so like I started out like super basic. I
Speaker 11: was like, they have to have a job, they have
Speaker 11: to like not live at their parents' house, like have
Speaker 11: a car.
Speaker 6: Like okay, well, standards are crazy on your end.
Speaker 12: I didn't put a single thing that was physical like
Speaker 12: height or anything, and it came back with less than
Speaker 12: one percent of men.
Speaker 9: A job truly.
Speaker 2: Oh my okay, so you weren't feeling positive I'm guessing at.
Speaker 12: That number or you know that's like very bleak.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Anyway, I like after all of that, ended up meeting
Speaker 11: this guy named James, like just in a coffee shop.
Speaker 6: Oh didn't even need the dating apps.
Speaker 1: She ran into the one percent.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's funny, like the irony. How did that interaction happen?
Speaker 12: I literally was just sitting down and I was like
Speaker 12: scrolling and he comes up to me and he's like,
Speaker 12: are you accepting applications? And I'm like, oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 12: I don't work here. Like I thought he was like
Speaker 12: a sign at the coffee shop.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, were he wearing like an apron or something?
Speaker 12: No, I guess I just like looked like I was.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Or you're a manager.
Speaker 2: You know sometimes you walk into a restaurant or something
Speaker 2: you see a manager working a good point.
Speaker 6: Yeah, how did you respond to him when he asked
Speaker 6: about applications?
Speaker 12: I was like, oh, sorry, I don't work here, and
Speaker 12: he was like no, no, like to be your boyfriend.
Speaker 1: Oh oh it was okay? Did you like that?
Speaker 12: I mean I thought it was funny, but he like
Speaker 12: fully went along with it, and he was like, listen,
Speaker 12: I brought my resume. I've got like my history and
Speaker 12: experience and he legitimately like pulled out a piece of paper.
Speaker 1: Wait what he had a dating resume?
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh, I have to know what was on it?
Speaker 6: Or is it a move that he pulls on women
Speaker 6: all the time, and he has twenty quote unquote dating
Speaker 6: resumes in his pocket to hand out whenever he sees
Speaker 6: someone cute.
Speaker 1: Kind of like the real world of getting a job.
Speaker 2: If she liked the resume, who cares how many other
Speaker 2: people like what was on it?
Speaker 12: You know, like basic stuff like he likes going to
Speaker 12: games and hiking. But he was like, yeah, if you
Speaker 12: want to set up an interview, you can just like
Speaker 12: call the number. And I was like, why don't you
Speaker 12: just sit down now when I can interview you?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: My great response.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and it was really nice, like he turned out
Speaker 12: to be an awesome guy. He like offer to literally
Speaker 12: venmo me for the coffee that I had already bought.
Speaker 6: Guy, you look poor here. You probably need this.
Speaker 5: Ye.
Speaker 2: What was the hardest boyfriend interview question that you asked him?
Speaker 12: Well, okay, so I've actually like done interviews at my
Speaker 12: real job. So I was like, okay, I'm just gonna
Speaker 12: pull some of these. And I was like, what's one
Speaker 12: thing you don't want me to know about you?
Speaker 13: Dude?
Speaker 1: He is so not prepared for the day.
Speaker 14: It.
Speaker 6: I would hate that question to be asked to me
Speaker 6: on a first day but did he have an answer
Speaker 6: for you?
Speaker 12: He did, and it was like it was like ready made.
Speaker 12: It's like he expected it. And he legitimately said, I
Speaker 12: pry when I watched the Matrix because I'm scared about
Speaker 12: the future.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, I don't think that was prepared.
Speaker 1: I feel like that was honest.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he was so scared. There's no way he
Speaker 6: just thought of that. How did you feel about that response?
Speaker 12: Honestly, I thought her was really funny and it was
Speaker 12: really clever, and like because it was so quick, I
Speaker 12: was like, oh, no, you're serious.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, it's not a red flag to you that
Speaker 6: he thinks the Matrix is actually going to happen in
Speaker 6: the next few years.
Speaker 1: You could have made so many worse answers. He said, yeah,
Speaker 1: that is so much better than anything.
Speaker 12: Okay, So anyway, at the end, he's like, today I
Speaker 12: get the job, and I was like, well, we probably
Speaker 12: should set up like a second interview.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 12: Then I definitely got the job, and we kind of
Speaker 12: like left it off there and it was funny and
Speaker 12: we laughed and then he like never called me again.
Speaker 12: What I like texted him made jokes about like, hey,
Speaker 12: we need to set up your second interview, and it
Speaker 12: was just silence.
Speaker 8: No, did you guys cancer anything or like hug was
Speaker 8: her physical viouce?
Speaker 6: Yeah, like a normal job interview.
Speaker 8: Yes, it's not a real job.
Speaker 1: It doesn't like a transition.
Speaker 6: How do you think I got hired to?
Speaker 2: I mean that is strange though, because he's the one
Speaker 2: that approached you. He's the one that did the line,
Speaker 2: like why wouldn't he.
Speaker 6: But she's the one that took it to the next
Speaker 6: level that actually made him sit down for it. He
Speaker 6: probably just thought it was a smooth line and was
Speaker 6: going to back away.
Speaker 12: So he literally was the one asking like, did I
Speaker 12: get the job?
Speaker 6: Yeah? He just wants the ego boosts to accept offer.
Speaker 8: The company gives you. Isn't good.
Speaker 1: He's got to put in two weeks at his last job.
Speaker 1: Ye find out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's clearly a lot of options on the table.
Speaker 6: We're gonna find out for sure what happened when we
Speaker 6: come back and call James to do your second date
Speaker 6: update right after this.
Speaker 7: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning Second date Update.
Speaker 6: Is there any setting more romantic than a job interview?
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be romantic.
Speaker 6: I don't know, Brook, You're dressed all nice. You're talking
Speaker 6: about your biggest strengths and your greatest weaknesses. All of
Speaker 6: a sudden, what comes out of your pants?
Speaker 4: Oops?
Speaker 6: Oh god, a resume? Would you look at that? I
Speaker 6: just happened to have that on me.
Speaker 1: No wonder, it's so warm.
Speaker 6: That's actually kind of what happened to one of our
Speaker 6: listeners who met a guy recently. It wasn't an official
Speaker 6: job application, but some dudes saw at a cop the
Speaker 6: shop and ask, hey, are you taking boyfriend? Application is
Speaker 6: so smooth, and he even had a resume in his pants.
Speaker 2: That's why it's even smooth pocket okay, or who knows
Speaker 2: where it was?
Speaker 1: We don't know either way.
Speaker 6: It's kind of sus that he just carries that around
Speaker 6: waiting to whip out to any cute girl, if that's
Speaker 6: what he does. But we don't know.
Speaker 8: He may have done this just.
Speaker 1: For the thing he's putting some effort in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it did work, and he got to sit down
Speaker 6: with her for a little interview slash mini first date.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: By the end he said he was definitely going to
Speaker 6: call her, and according to her, he definitely didn't. Ah man,
Speaker 6: I think we're all a little bit concerned that this
Speaker 6: little stick he's doing is working too well, and maybe
Speaker 6: he's applying to multiple boyfriend positions all throughout the city.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of openings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Justine, if this turns out where he actually does
Speaker 6: this all the time and meets hundreds of women this way,
Speaker 6: how could we make him remember you? And have you
Speaker 6: stand like, how do we identify you? Or do you
Speaker 6: still even want to go out with him? At that point?
Speaker 12: We at least I'm curious to hear what he has
Speaker 12: to say.
Speaker 11: But yeah, I was wearing a green ramper, I have
Speaker 11: red hair and glasses.
Speaker 2: Okay, cute, Okay, Like you are the only one that
Speaker 2: sat him down and actually gave him like a legit
Speaker 2: interviews like how could he remember you?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Alright, so we'll see if he does remember you
Speaker 6: and what he asked to say. We're James's phone number
Speaker 6: right now? Here we go? Hello, Hey, we're looking for
Speaker 6: James h Yeah?
Speaker 13: Uh?
Speaker 6: Where we we are a radio show?
Speaker 8: Jeff, Sorry you fled like the first word.
Speaker 6: Yeah, thanks for pointing on all my flawsbody, you know,
Speaker 6: job going on? Behalf of our boss, Justine, and apparently
Speaker 6: you applied for the position of her boyfriend role recently?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, do you remember that interview?
Speaker 1: Do you remember that interview?
Speaker 5: I mean I remember a few of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right though, I mean we expected that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we heard about the move that you pulled on
Speaker 6: our listener where you walked up to her and you
Speaker 6: like had a resume and asked if there was a
Speaker 6: boyfriend opening. Is that something that you've done a lot?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've done that a good amount.
Speaker 6: Can I guess how many times? Is it two hundred times?
Speaker 5: I don't know about two hundred.
Speaker 2: I want to know the success rate? How many of
Speaker 2: those turn into a date?
Speaker 5: They do?
Speaker 4: Sometimes? I've definitely met some interesting people, Okay.
Speaker 6: I am curious about that before we get to like
Speaker 6: Justine specifically, Like, what are some of the quirky things
Speaker 6: that you found out while trying this on other people? Before?
Speaker 4: I mean, there was this one girl who was an
Speaker 4: extreme coupon her.
Speaker 5: Oh whoa I've never met before.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's interesting about people they call.
Speaker 6: Them cheap skates, but you go ahead.
Speaker 4: There was another girl who kept talking about alien abductions,
Speaker 4: so that was really interesting.
Speaker 2: Was that a turn on for you? I'm curious, Like
Speaker 2: it sounds like you're just meeting people to meet weird people?
Speaker 2: Are you actually looking for supting in this?
Speaker 4: You know, I don't really know what I'm looking for,
Speaker 4: to be honest, it's just it's proven to be a
Speaker 4: great way to meet people, maybe more really respond interesting.
Speaker 6: Maybe you're looking for a girl who wears a green
Speaker 6: romper to a coffee shop and has bright red hair,
Speaker 6: and it just tells you to sit down for the
Speaker 6: interview right away when you ask.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, thank god you told me what she was wearing,
Speaker 4: because that now I know who you're talking about.
Speaker 9: Ok.
Speaker 2: Wait, women ask you to sit down for the interview too,
Speaker 2: find out the aliens.
Speaker 1: That's a good pad.
Speaker 6: So now you remember Justine?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I remember Justine.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Here's the thing. I do this a good amount, and
Speaker 4: it's just, you know, it's all over the place the
Speaker 4: reactions that I get. But Justine's was like she was
Speaker 4: really quick with it, and she was she was different, and.
Speaker 5: I'll be honest, that kind of freaked me out.
Speaker 1: Oh it did.
Speaker 5: I didn't know.
Speaker 1: How to respond because she beat you at your own
Speaker 1: game essentially.
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1: But that seems like it'd be a turn on.
Speaker 6: Men don't like to be outsmart I was just kidding,
Speaker 6: how do they ever meet anyone? James? How did you
Speaker 6: feel talking to Justine like that? Were you scared of her?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 4: Yeah, honestly, I just I never take this thing seriously.
Speaker 4: It's just it's just sort of a gimmick, and she
Speaker 4: for the first time, I felt like, Wow, this really
Speaker 4: could be something.
Speaker 2: You can't let your own insecurity stand of the way
Speaker 2: that you want someone who challenges you.
Speaker 6: Who makes what's your hold up?
Speaker 5: Then I guess I'm just not used to that. I've
Speaker 5: never never had that happen before.
Speaker 8: So you finally found her and you're like, what do
Speaker 8: I do?
Speaker 1: That's why you're single? My man?
Speaker 6: Like, you don't know how to move forward now that
Speaker 6: you realize you actually like her.
Speaker 5: Kind of like she might she might just be quicker
Speaker 5: than me.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think she is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's terrifying.
Speaker 1: No, I mean I appreciate the honesty.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what, if you think that's terrifying, just
Speaker 6: wait till you hear that she's actually been listening to
Speaker 6: this conversation the entire time. It is on the other
Speaker 6: line right now. Serious, he scary Justice trying out.
Speaker 5: To scream, Hey, Justine.
Speaker 12: Come on, James, you were like I thought we had
Speaker 12: like a banter.
Speaker 5: We did we did? It freaked me out. I've never
Speaker 5: had a banter.
Speaker 11: You have every right to be like confident and witty
Speaker 11: and like the guy that I met, like play ball,
Speaker 11: like he could play chess, and I feel like you're
Speaker 11: just like afraid of that. But honestly, you you kept
Speaker 11: up in the conversation great like it was. I really
Speaker 11: enjoyed our conversation.
Speaker 12: I'm a little sad, but like now you're like backing out.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not backing out. I'm just sort of
Speaker 5: like frozen. I'm not sure what to do.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, this is positive.
Speaker 6: Now I need to dethaw you and get you back
Speaker 6: into action.
Speaker 1: What did I picture popping him in a microwaves?
Speaker 6: Well, whatever you got to do. She liked your energy
Speaker 6: when you first met, so just bring that back and
Speaker 6: talk to her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I I can definitely do that.
Speaker 6: More confident than that though, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: Justine, I would like that. I would like if we
Speaker 5: did this late.
Speaker 8: It sounds kind of timid to me.
Speaker 14: Let's start, Can you try to say it a little
Speaker 14: more assertive?
Speaker 6: Some flair on it, James, Justine, let's do this, all right,
Speaker 6: let's do this.
Speaker 1: I mean I thought we're going to talk right now.
Speaker 8: I thought.
Speaker 5: Not in front of you, dude.
Speaker 1: You can't ask for interviews. You can't apply to be
Speaker 1: people's boyfriends and then not.
Speaker 8: It's like you put on your application, but you have
Speaker 8: no show it to us.
Speaker 9: You're the thing.
Speaker 12: I think you do have, riz. I think you're just
Speaker 12: afraid of messing up, and it keeps you from.
Speaker 8: Being bold like you did.
Speaker 5: Really you got in your head. I think so.
Speaker 4: When there are no steaks, it's easy. But now that
Speaker 4: there's steaks, that's.
Speaker 1: That's actually true?
Speaker 6: Is true? There will be steaks if we pay for them,
Speaker 6: because we will offer to send you to a steakhouse.
Speaker 1: Really, our gift cards cover.
Speaker 6: This, and it's going to be an Apple.
Speaker 1: I thought we were going to Sizzlers.
Speaker 6: We'd like to send you guys out on one more
Speaker 6: date that we would pay for, if you're not too afraid.
Speaker 4: James, come on, James, yeah, I would love that.
Speaker 6: I feel like if we didn't call and push you
Speaker 6: into this, then this date never even would have happened.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I we don't know that.
Speaker 6: Well, Okay, Justine, you're still okay with it.
Speaker 14: I am open to a second interview, but he honestly
Speaker 14: sounds like pretty different, a lot more timid, So we'll
Speaker 14: just have to see how a less rehearsed interview goes.
Speaker 1: Okay, was the first one just to show or is
Speaker 1: it really who he is?
Speaker 6: Yeah, you find out in a real world experience. I'm
Speaker 6: doing the dating math on this, just like Justine did originally,
Speaker 6: and I'm saying this relationship is probably at a five
Speaker 6: percent chance right now than.
Speaker 1: I was going to give it. So yeah, that's good.
Speaker 6: Unless he says something really smooth right now.
Speaker 5: I got nothing.
Speaker 6: Okay, it's a chance. Good lucky guys. It's broken Jeffrey
Speaker 6: in the morning.
Speaker 7: Brooking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 6: Does anybody think they're actually going to meet up for
Speaker 6: a date or did this whole experience just lower his
Speaker 6: confidence even more?
Speaker 8: I think we broke him.
Speaker 1: I think so he broke himself.
Speaker 2: I love this a guy who's saying I'm handing out
Speaker 2: boyfriend applications but doesn't actually want a relationship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like why why?
Speaker 8: He's literally all.
Speaker 6: Talk and there's a lot of people that go into
Speaker 6: something with just their first move planned, and that's all
Speaker 6: that you have.
Speaker 2: You're right, Jeff, exactly, But it's such an elaborate first move,
Speaker 2: it's so good, like why not be in?
Speaker 1: I hope they go out again?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Why do? I feel like there's gonna be a
Speaker 6: whole lot more copycat resume guys out there now though,
Speaker 6: all trying to apply for the open boyfriend position. Luckily
Speaker 6: for you ladies, I don't know how to make a resume. Actually, Brooke,
Speaker 6: there's a lot of text coming in at seven eighty
Speaker 6: five night too, asking if you have any open positions.
Speaker 1: Very awful her husband and Roy right now.
Speaker 6: We'll keep you posted on that, but yes, very much so.
Speaker 1: Venny's are great over here.
Speaker 6: Make sure to email in if you ever want some
Speaker 6: help with your dating life. We'll call that person who's
Speaker 6: not calling you back and go check. I got all
Speaker 6: of our second dates wherever you get your podcasts at
Speaker 6: Brooke and Jeffrey
