Speaker 2: just that came you found it.
Speaker 3: It's Broke and Jeffrey in the Morning and today. I

Speaker 3: before you even go out on a date, like always
Speaker 3: good y.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I would have said yes to this,
Speaker 2: but he was game. So yes, you're gonna hear her

Speaker 2: And here's a brand new podcast.
Speaker 5: Second Date Up Date. If anyone's been out on a
Speaker 5: date recently, you know how expensive it can be, not
Speaker 5: just for the food and drinks, but the blindfolds and
Speaker 5: the rubber bands.
Speaker 2: I thought you're gonna say parking Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 5: Do need a place to park when before you set
Speaker 5: up all the rubber bands. I see and I cannot
Speaker 5: find one strong enough to hold my wrists down anymore.
Speaker 2: Wow, I don't know that.
Speaker 5: It's the tariffs. God, the tariffs on maximum strength rubber
Speaker 5: bands from Indonesia. They are through the roof right now.
Speaker 2: You try the rubber bands they put on a sparagus.
Speaker 2: Those are the fat boys.
Speaker 5: Still not strong enough, expensive, not stronger, Jeff. But that
Speaker 5: was the only place that make them stronger, and they
Speaker 5: cost so much money. I'm just I'm happy that our
Speaker 5: listener Leo figured out how to save a buck or
Speaker 5: two on his date recently, and I'm very curious how
Speaker 5: he did it. So Leo, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: It's like what we get, Hello, Leo, Are the rubber
Speaker 3: band tariffs hitting you hard to or.
Speaker 5: Did you rubber band yourself?
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm still here.
Speaker 4: I'm doing all right.
Speaker 5: Okay, where you get your extra strength rubber bands from?
Speaker 1: I don't typically need to get a lot of them,
Speaker 1: Just save them from random mail.
Speaker 5: That's actually kind of smart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got I got a drawer that I got
Speaker 1: too many of them.
Speaker 5: Actually share well. At some point but hey, I know
Speaker 5: you went on a date with somebody recently. What's her name?
Speaker 1: And Marissa?
Speaker 5: Okay, where'd you meet her?
Speaker 1: We matched on Bumbo and we connected over love of dogs.
Speaker 1: You know, we have two dogs, and it's just we
Speaker 1: we can't get enough of them. I mean, if we
Speaker 1: lived in bigger places, then we probably have more than
Speaker 1: just two, you know what I mean, like.
Speaker 5: One hundred and one Dalmatians that Movieah okay, but you
Speaker 5: said in your email you were able to save some
Speaker 5: money on your date. How did you do that?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So when we matched at first, she was very
Speaker 1: clear that she wanted to be friends. She didn't want
Speaker 1: to jump into anything like relationship. Here we go, she's
Speaker 1: really yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I suggested after we matched, just grabbing a coffee,
Speaker 1: but she countered with, how about we go to a
Speaker 1: flea market.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, that's how you saved me. I was gonna say,
Speaker 5: that's how you saved money on your day with the
Speaker 5: flea market discounts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was willing to spend it. It was her idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3: I think it's impressive that you are good with being
Speaker 3: friends first.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't do that, but that's great that I'm
Speaker 1: sort of the kind of guy that doesn't really want
Speaker 1: to jump into anything too fast myself. So I do
Speaker 1: have friends that are women, so like, if we decide
Speaker 1: that it doesn't work out, it's like, okay, well if
Speaker 1: we're at that friendship level first, and we can stay
Speaker 1: that way, and then you know, it's a positive.
Speaker 5: I love that when you're like naturally friends fertally. But
Speaker 5: what Brooke was saying too, to be like, I'm setting
Speaker 5: the tone friend zone right away. It's good that you
Speaker 5: worked with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's refreshing. I guess it's the SA.
Speaker 5: So take us to the flea market though. How did
Speaker 5: that go?
Speaker 1: It went okay, which is better than okay, which is
Speaker 1: kind of weird to me. Why I haven't heard from
Speaker 1: her since then. But before I get into that, yeah,
Speaker 1: we met up there and she looked like her pictures.
Speaker 1: Thank god, she was really really cute.
Speaker 2: I didn't want a friend that looks like somebody else.
Speaker 5: A friend thing does make it different, now, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's right. You can't really judge that.
Speaker 1: Okay, So she was excited to be there too, and
Speaker 1: bargain hunt and all that, and we walked around that
Speaker 1: flea market for a good hour and a half to see.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what did you get into? Like a crate of
Speaker 5: old used VHS tapes or rubber bands?
Speaker 1: Favorite y Yeah, no rubber bands, but we did see vhs.
Speaker 1: There was a station that had a lot of those.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, man, shocking, they're not selling so quickly.
Speaker 5: Has the machines to play them. Okay, So how was
Speaker 5: your connection with Marissa?
Speaker 1: It was good, And I know that sometimes for these things,
Speaker 1: you guys ask what we talked about. We actually talked
Speaker 1: about taxidermy, what.
Speaker 3: Friends don't to find a couple of girls?
Speaker 1: Or yeah we saw a boot for that actually third
Speaker 1: text to Durmy and uh. In fact, there was actually
Speaker 1: a fox there with a monocle on. So Marissa thought
Speaker 1: that it looks like elegance and I thought it looked
Speaker 1: straight up haunted. I was like, I would never let.
Speaker 5: That into my home.
Speaker 3: Stuff fox, Well, that sounds like a funny point of
Speaker 3: conversation one moments.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5: It was did you guys buy anything take anything home?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: We each got one thing. I got a Fleetwood Mac
Speaker 1: record and she got one of those novelty aprons where
Speaker 1: it looks like there's a shirtless firefighter on the front.
Speaker 5: I like her cool. So is that is that it?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's it. We each got the one thing
Speaker 1: and then I walked her back to her place, and
Speaker 1: on the way back it was starting to get kind
Speaker 1: of chilly, so I gave her my jacket and when
Speaker 1: we got to her place, I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you could just you can just hang on to it
Speaker 1: because I was so confident that we would meet up again,
Speaker 1: because that's how well the first date went. And now
Speaker 1: she's not answering any of my text or calls, and
Speaker 1: it's like, Hey, as much as I would like to
Speaker 1: see Marissa, I would also like my jacket back.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, if you think about it, this cheap date
Speaker 3: actually costs you a lot of money if you lose
Speaker 3: that jacket.
Speaker 1: Room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, taxidermy is not cheap.
Speaker 5: Chap I could.
Speaker 1: Yeah that didn't happen, Thank god, not his house.
Speaker 5: Yeah right, how long has it been since the Flea
Speaker 5: market date?
Speaker 1: It's been about two weeks.
Speaker 2: Oh, you've gone with the jacket for two weeks.
Speaker 5: That's jacket.
Speaker 3: I don't know favor if you wore it, I know,
Speaker 3: and the one he feels like he looks good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is my favorite jacket. I've got like
Speaker 1: one or two others, but they're not they're on my favorite.
Speaker 4: Ye know.
Speaker 2: Oh man, this is dire Jeffrey, I know.
Speaker 5: This is code red. We're going to reach out and
Speaker 5: call Marissa, try and get you one your jacket back,
Speaker 5: and then two possibly another meet up with her when
Speaker 5: we do your second date update coming up right after
Speaker 5: this second date update. Friends ghost each other, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean politely, Yeah, eventually you get
Speaker 3: back together.
Speaker 5: Alexis if a friend wore the same outfit as you,
Speaker 5: they're getting blackballed for Like I mean.
Speaker 2: I'm usually one of the copies my friend's OUTFA.
Speaker 5: Probably shouldn't talk to you. Yeah, yeah, just like. It
Speaker 5: just seems like if you agree to go out as
Speaker 5: friends first, then there'd be less pressure on the like hangout,
Speaker 5: you wouldn't get ditched if you're just focused on friends,
Speaker 5: You're just focused on having a good day.
Speaker 2: Maybe she's able friend.
Speaker 5: It is weird because our listener Leo has not heard
Speaker 5: from Marissa for the last two weeks after they hung out,
Speaker 5: and the worst case scenario I'm thinking of is if
Speaker 5: Leo goes back to that flea market and his jacket
Speaker 5: is up for.
Speaker 3: Sake, warned by the fox with the monocle.
Speaker 5: Oh even worse, that would not be good, Leo. Have
Speaker 5: you checked the flea market or possibly eBay for your.
Speaker 1: Jacket to be fair, No, I have not.
Speaker 2: Okay, great jacket caper.
Speaker 3: That's what she does to other jackets and then resell
Speaker 3: them on second hand storm.
Speaker 5: See. Anything is possible, especially since she is the one
Speaker 5: that recommended the flea market in the first place. But
Speaker 5: you never thought about that, Leo, No, I didn't think
Speaker 5: about that, abody.
Speaker 2: You probably won't put a lot more thought into it. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's probably the case.
Speaker 5: Why you come to the show. We're creative, creative investigators.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, like, do we bring up the jacket.
Speaker 5: And maybe after you know to Leo, she'll bring it
Speaker 5: if she says yes to a date. Is it more
Speaker 5: important that you get the jacket back or that you
Speaker 5: have another hangout and stay friends with Marissa.
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, It's more important to me that
Speaker 1: I get the jacket back because I really like that jacket.
Speaker 5: Okay, and you've only met this girl one time and
Speaker 5: she just wants to be friends with me. It's gonna
Speaker 5: really hurt her feelings when I tell her that. But
Speaker 5: you know what, that's what he wants. Let me know what,
Speaker 5: I'll hold off, hold off.
Speaker 2: I mean she might want the jacket more than him too.
Speaker 2: We don't know if possible.
Speaker 5: Let's find out. I'm going to dial her number right now.
Speaker 5: Let's see if she picks up. But here we go. Hello,
Speaker 5: Hey is this Marissa?
Speaker 4: Yes, Maria, Hey, this.
Speaker 5: Is probably the weirdest phone call you're going to get
Speaker 5: all day, unless he's like, already talk to your ex
Speaker 5: or something. But you're on the radio right now with
Speaker 5: a show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 4: Wait, I'm wait this is the radio Yeah, but yes.
Speaker 5: Yes, we're a show. We try to help out our
Speaker 5: listeners who've hung out with somebody recently and they're not
Speaker 5: getting a call back to hang out a second time.
Speaker 4: That's weird.
Speaker 5: It's actually not weird. It's our bread and butter. Every day.
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't get calls. But it's weird
Speaker 2: for you. We get understand why that would be strange.
Speaker 2: A strange call.
Speaker 4: I've never heard this, so it's just totally so.
Speaker 5: We're trying to help out our listener that you hung
Speaker 5: out with recently named Leo.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah you remember Leo.
Speaker 4: Yeah? Sorry, I'm like catching up right now. Okay, so
Speaker 4: he called you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we we spoke to him before and he told
Speaker 5: us about your hangout at the flea market.
Speaker 4: Okay, so he probably wants his jacket, I assume, so
Speaker 4: I can just like leave it outside my place.
Speaker 5: That's all your focus on is the jacket. You're not
Speaker 5: focused on him at all.
Speaker 4: I'm I'm just not really into him.
Speaker 3: Okay, but I thought that you just wanted to be friends.
Speaker 3: That's what you said, Like you're not into him even
Speaker 3: as a friend.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think when people start dating, the idea should
Speaker 4: be that you start as friends and then if it
Speaker 4: progresses from there, great, But I just don't really see
Speaker 4: any hope for that in this situation.
Speaker 5: After one Well, that's fair, like you're allowed to feel
Speaker 5: that way. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just feel like if you're going to start it
Speaker 3: as friends, you've got to be more open. You've got
Speaker 3: to give it a little bit more time, because sometimes
Speaker 3: friendship in general just takes time.
Speaker 2: Like it's so bad that you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, what can I ask? Was there something
Speaker 5: like one particular thing that made you feel that way
Speaker 5: when you were hanging out with him.
Speaker 4: Overall, I can tell you this. The date itself was
Speaker 4: pretty good.
Speaker 2: Okay, it was nice.
Speaker 4: He's cute, I liked him. We did 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 5: Or Brooke does have a lot of sexual chemistry with
Speaker 5: all of her friends. I can understand a lot of
Speaker 5: family members too, So it kind of blurs the lines.
Speaker 5: But I mean, no, I know exactly what you mean.
Speaker 5: So for you, what was it exactly?
Speaker 4: Okay, So the date was good. It's just when I
Speaker 4: got home, he let me borrow his jacket because it
Speaker 4: got kind of chilly. And when I hung up with
Speaker 4: the jacket, this little okay, this little piece of paper
Speaker 4: fell out and I picked it up and he had
Speaker 4: made a list titled things not to say on the
Speaker 4: date with Marissa.
Speaker 5: Oh wow, wow.
Speaker 3: I know, but sometimes I do better in my head
Speaker 3: if I write things down.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it depends on what things he was telling himself
Speaker 5: not to say to her. Yeah, can we know what
Speaker 5: some of the things were.
Speaker 4: There was one that said, don't talk about the X
Speaker 4: like you did with the last girl.
Speaker 2: Well, that's an important reminder that which should be number one.
Speaker 4: Right it' it's weird that it's been an issue, Like
Speaker 4: it's something you have to remind yourself not to do.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's like a red flag for me.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's another one.
Speaker 4: There was something that said a girl who don't like
Speaker 4: crypto chat again, like it's just another weird thing, like
Speaker 4: is he super into crypto?
Speaker 2: The like, clearly, why is that already being to crypto?
Speaker 5: This means he's potentially rich.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a no not no, she is right.
Speaker 5: Every crypto bro will tell you they're rich, but not
Speaker 5: all of them are.
Speaker 3: I mean, but you don't see these things as just
Speaker 3: I don't know, thoughtful preparation before a date.
Speaker 4: I just think it's better to plan nice things than
Speaker 4: to write out things you should not do that you
Speaker 4: usually do that turns people off.
Speaker 5: Oh that, don't.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: It's like it's a good thing to say, don't exactly
Speaker 5: because one of the things that I wrote down was
Speaker 5: don't tell Marissa that Leo was on the other line
Speaker 5: listening and wants to talk to it. Forgot, Oh was
Speaker 5: I not supposed to my god Marissa? Wa Yeah, Leo's
Speaker 5: on the other line listening to this conversation.
Speaker 4: You're kidding, You're kidding right now.
Speaker 5: I told myself not to say that to you. I'm sorry, Leo.
Speaker 5: Are you there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 4: This is this is pretty awkward.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Know, I'm sorry, and I know I wasn't supposed to
Speaker 5: say it. So the awkwardness.
Speaker 4: I can't believe you did that. I can't believe tell
Speaker 4: me that effort.
Speaker 2: Wait, do you, Madame Jeffrey though right not Leo.
Speaker 4: I'm I don't even I'm upset. I don't know what.
Speaker 5: It was my fault. It was my fault. I'll take
Speaker 5: the blame. Leo. Talk to Marissa about what you just heard.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, the good thing now is that you
Speaker 1: know all my weaknesses, you know all the bad things
Speaker 1: that I try to not do on our date.
Speaker 4: That's a positive, right, Okay. Well, you also wrote on
Speaker 4: your little list remember to tip this time you. This
Speaker 4: is all they're all red flags. The things that you're
Speaker 4: saying that you usually do and don't do this don't
Speaker 4: let her see who you are, is what this list
Speaker 4: feels like.
Speaker 1: Marissa. I don't think you were reading the note right
Speaker 1: The note actually said don't forget to tip big.
Speaker 4: No, no it didn't, and now you're just lying.
Speaker 2: Listen, listen.
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got a person here who really likes you,
Speaker 3: who's trying to be a better person.
Speaker 2: I mean, what more can you want from someone who
Speaker 2: a guy who can admit their flaws is.
Speaker 3: Nice you zeriously and actually take action to change them.
Speaker 4: I get someone who doesn't have so many red flags
Speaker 4: and issues talking about his X all the time and
Speaker 4: doesn't tip, and it is into crypto and this is
Speaker 4: 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 5: And I haven't heard him mention his ex girlfriend once
Speaker 5: during this entire phone from and it doesn't have his
Speaker 5: little paper in front of him who remind him not
Speaker 5: to do that.
Speaker 2: We didn't even know he had one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually I actually wrote that on the paper
Speaker 1: before I call the radio station. Actually, but I'm doing well.
Speaker 2: Oh you do have a paper right now as well.
Speaker 4: Okay, I feel like I'm being set up and I
Speaker 4: kind of want to go now.
Speaker 5: Well, Mersa, don't you feel like maybe you're being a
Speaker 5: little bit harsh and judging him a lot for like
Speaker 5: a piece of paper that you found.
Speaker 4: No, not really like this is not even like someone
Speaker 4: I want to I just don't even don't care enough.
Speaker 5: No, but you will hold onto his jacket for two
Speaker 5: weeks on the jacket? What are you doing there?
Speaker 2: She said that she'd leave it on her doorstep.
Speaker 4: I'll put it out today. No, wait, don't put it outside.
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna steal it. It's a really nice jacket.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then they're gonna have all the tips about
Speaker 5: what not to do on the first stea. So Marissa,
Speaker 5: would you at least meet up with him to hand
Speaker 5: him his jacket in person.
Speaker 4: I'll put your jacket out at seven, come and get
Speaker 4: it at seven.
Speaker 2: Okay, well there's a deadline.
Speaker 1: Wow, Marissa, I'm just gonna say that you're not as
Speaker 1: nice as you were on our first date. And then
Speaker 1: it's not gonna help you make more friends if you're
Speaker 1: not this nice, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: That's that's some friendly advice.
Speaker 4: For the tip. I think I'll be fine.
Speaker 5: Oh and he tips. See look what he does. He
Speaker 5: really comes through those bullet Really is Jeffrey in the morning, man,
Speaker 5: I'm just reading the textboard after that second date, and
Speaker 5: someone actually scored each of our performances. Oh, they said,
