1 lad: "Lad" is the right answer. A "lad" is a "young man", "chap", or "guy" in British English. Note that this term is not used in North America. Example: "The pub was full of lads watching football and drinking lager".
2 broke: "Broke" is the term we were looking for here. To "be broke" is to have no money. It's usually a temporary situation. Example: "I'm always broke at the end of the month, waiting to be paid".
