Second Date Update Classic: Uptight Greg

Published Dec 16, 2023, 1:30 PM

One of our listeners thinks he might have accidentally ruined his entire date because of what he did in a movie theater! It’s not illegal but it's not a good look either…

Second date update. We all have unique things that we find attractive in other people, Like for Alexis, she always checks the guy's pants to make sure that he has an enormous wallet.

Oh okay, I checked for something else. I don't not do that.

I think she checks for a lot of For Jose, he's looking for a lady, preferably a breathing one. But it's not a deal break, it's not andreath. Yes. For Brooke, well, she's taken. Yeah, or at least that's what the missing posters of her husbands taken. Call anytime, and 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.

Welcome.

Where did you find this lovely lady?

What? So?

I found her on a dating apps? Really pretty, she seems funny, smart, But I really am into juggling. I love I watch a lot of juggling videos on YouTube and she she's an amateur juggler. So I thought that that was really really cool.

Yeah, that's like a match made right there.

SI.

Way do you juggle or do you just watch other people do it?

No?

I am a strict spectator. I can't juggle, but I watched hours of juggling videos on YouTube.

People juggle, Oh yeah.

When women do. It's very I think it's very seductive when you watch a woman and there's some videos where they will juggle axes, knives, It gets, it gets.

Very doesn't turn you on. Did you hear did you hear his voice when he started talking about.

It's very It's just 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 did we learn her name yet?

Oh? Katie?

Okay, 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 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 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 day or all the different concessions from the movie you said.

It's funny you say that. I tried at the bar. I tried seeing if she do a couple of tricks, but she was embarrassed with the but anyway, more of a third thing.

Anyway.

I know we're kind of like rushing up 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 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 Okay, as I looked back on it and thought about it, you know what could have come wrong with the day? 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 the heaving sob heaving sobs.

Yeah, bro, I'm the same in movies, dude. I think commercials will make me right.

Do you think you were like too ugly of a crier.

For well, no, I think it was. It was very appropriate. But I noticed her, noticed me crying, and she gets 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 your bro.

Well, it could have been.

Maybe she turned away because she was worried she was going to start crying too, see and you cry, you know.

I don't know.

It was just it was very intensive. I just got this energy sense that perhaps that made her uncomfortable.

I'm not sure what, or maybe she was worried that you were going to ask her to juggle your tears. I didn't make it happy.

Again, I didn't know. I didn't do anything like that.

So you're saying, 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, at the first date that's understandable. So I kind of kissed her like nose.

Were you still snotty from all the trying.

No, I always carry I have a handkerchief that I always carry with you.

Okay, you were done heaving and sobbing at that point.

Yeah, I mean I was still carrying the effect of the finale of the film. But you know, I composed my self 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.

That's okay, Well, I mean overall, dude, you sound like a pretty good guy. 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 and he is 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 the dress shirt, so I thought I very appropriate for a first.

Past aimed a dress shirt. Now you're taking it over the time. Are you trying to impress? It's okay? See a lot of people think I'm weird too and they don't get me. But maybe maybe you and I are kind of kindred spirits and that sounds like, let's let's play a song. We'll come back, We'll call we will try, We'll try and do that. No promises, but we'll call it Katie for you to try and get you a 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. One of his favorite things is to watch people juggle.

Thank you.

Can we start with that next time?

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 Greg says the real awkward moment may have been when he cried during the movie Body 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 kiss, which, for the record, still counts as a kiss. Okay, as long as the lips make contact, you make contact with the body a kiss, you do it.

Okay, Yes, I'm just want to get to the bottom of it.

Okay, Okay.

I take some deep breaths, man, I mean, she may say something you might not want to hear, so just be ready.

He's breathing.

Yeah, that's good.

It's good breathing. Another underrated skill to have. So you keep breathing. We're gonna call Katie for you and see what she has to say. All right, this might actually be more of a challenge than I was thinking before you start, but we'll tell you when to come in. Okay, you just keep doing your thing. Here we go.

Hello.

Hey is this Katie? Yeah, 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, that's okay.

We got a podcast too. You can check out on Spotify. It's fun.

Okay.

Yeah.

Well, we're also in the middle of a segment right now called a second Date Update, and 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?

Is it Greg?

Hey?

Okay, look at that.

You're right, he's on your mind.

Huh, he wasn't, But.

Greg, Greg seems like a sweet guy. Did you have a good time?

I mean it was okay, Yeah.

That's all right. So we're trying to help Greg figure out if if there is anything wrong or if there's something that he could improve on. We just want to know what the date was like from your perspective right now.

He's a very nice guy. He's just I don't know, he's not really my type.

You'd 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 just kind of he's 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 shot and he just asked for a glass of ice and he poured his over ice and slipped it with a straw a while for a while.

Yeah, it's classy.

You know, 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.

It'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 story, and like towards the end of the movie, main character dives and it's kind of like a long drawn out thing though, and he started just like falling once it started. I was like, well, I know he's not going to pull through now.

I mean, from what it sounds like he's kind of a straight laced, uptight guy, and you're more of a laid back, you know, loose type of lady.

We don't use those words.

Flowing lady.

I think what Jefferys trying to say is that sometimes opposites attract.

Right like, in fact, I think your opposite is on the other line right now, looking to a tract over to you as we speak.

What are you talking about?

Tell her that he's on the phone.

Okay, fine, I'll be straight laced. He's on the other phone line, and he's on line five, and you would like to speak to you right now.

Hi, Katie. Oh my god, this is good to hear your voice. High Hello, Greg, it's Greg.

He sounds different. Why do you sound different?

Greg?

I was holding my breath. Oh okay, I'm also I'm admittedly nervous. It's really good to hear your voice, Katie. You sound really good.

You hear any the stuff she was saying?

Well, I mean I did take notes. I just 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. You're gonna confess. I've seen it actually twice. I had the emotional reaction both times, which I think confirms that it's a pretty profound film, and I think it justifies the Katie.

Feel free to jump in at any time whenever you feel like talk and go ahead.

Yeah, this is Greg.

This is not a good look for you. Why did you want this on the radio.

I don't 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.

Well, hey, I'm sure that there's things that that Greg probably saw that may have kind of been flaws about you.

Well, if I may to answer your question, I was.

To open door.

Well, I just first wanted to say, Katie, I know you're you're more spontaneous than me. You're in the moment an improviser. But on average, that personality type, they die four point eight years younger than someone who is organized and prepared. That's a statistical fact.

Oh, I see you're saying her time is running short, so she better date you while she still can't.

And when when that personality type is complimented with someone who's an organizer and is prepared, you actually see an increase in the average age.

Is going to increase your lifetime.

That is actually probably the best like ploy.

Or like that's right, sounds like a threat, like get with me, or you're gonna die.

Just saying he'll compliment your your personality, he'll help you live longer.

Statistics aside, Katie, like just focus on did you have fun with him? I mean, not the best. Let's go back to the stats. Then let's focus on the statistics.

A little clinical.

How about I think someday, Katie, you're gonna 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. Yes, you need someone like that in your life.

How does this work? Did he pay you guys to do this?

If he had more money, would you be more interested?

Maybe?

Well, he will offer to send you guys out on a date. Yeah, and we'll pay for it.

I feel like Greg really deserves the 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 help, I think I broke it down. It looks to me seventy five percent of our evening was fun. We had twenty percent that was silence of the film, and five percent I would argue that was awkward. That seems like a pretty strong argument for And then if you add what that basically this would be a free state.

Oh, I mean, it's gonna be eighty percent fun at least if you have the freak.

Science says Katie you gotta go out with Greg.

That certainly turned me on, so you should definitely say yes.

If the science says I gotta do it, I will give it one more shot. Science.

Sorry, going on over there.

Oh we're gonna Oh, this is gonna be fun. But I'm going I'll have two shots and I won't use a stride promised. And then we're gonna have sex.

Who oh my god, guaranteed.

Can I change my mind?

Joke? That was a joke.

That's new Greg. He jokes a lot.
