A listener named Jack is on the phone to do a second date update right now and apparently he thought his date went awesome until he got on the phone with our producers and now he thinks he had a bad date. Wait, what? Yeah, I don't know. We'll ask him about that in just a second.

But first, Jack, how are you? I'm doing all right. How are you guys? Not too bad. I'll ask you in a second why our producer scared you about your date. But first of all, tell us about the date. What's her name? Her name is Carolyn. Carolyn, all right. And how did you meet Carolyn? Well, we were actually set up on a blind date by a work colleague. Ooh, risky on a lot of fronts there.

Yeah. Was it truly blind? You never saw her before or even a picture online? Well, I did. I mean, I'm just as weary as you. I'm not into the blind date thing. He mentioned it because, look, I'm just like looking to meet a woman who's chill and low maintenance. So when he said she was pretty, I didn't believe him at all. And so I made him show me a photo.

There are no pretty women who are chill and low maintenance. It's not the movies, bro. Yeah, I mean, immediately I'm skeptical. You know, it's like the unicorn. So he shows me a picture, and like I said, I'm shocked. And, you know, she's blonde. She's cute. So, you know, obviously immediately I changed my mind.

So I'm like, yeah, why don't I try to meet this girl? Okay. So now you're into the unicorn. Yeah, yeah. So he sets it up this girl? Okay. So now you're into the unicorn. Yeah, yeah. So he sets it up. You know, we do the whole thing. We start texting. And so we decide that we're going to meet up at a bar.

I know clearly she looks just like a picture. And I'm stoked at this point. Because she's also a punctual unicorn, which makes her an even better one. Yeah, exactly. She didn't take two hours to get ready or she's not late. It was just... Checking all the boxes. Okay.

So how was the date? Was it... I mean, my producer said that you were super confident about it until they asked you if you think anything went wrong. So how was it at first and then tell us why you think

things might have gone wrong now. Yeah, well, okay. Well, it was like, admittedly, it was off to a slow start. You know, like I haven't been on a lot of dates. I've just been consumed at work and it it's just, like, hard to relax and have fun.

But after a drink or two drinks, it starts to lighten up a little bit, and things start to go pretty smoothly. And it turns out we have, like, a lot in common. Like, we're both hikers, love the outdoors. Okay. And, like, we have this weird thing where we strangely love Colin Firth movies. You know, the actor, like... Which Colin is that? I can't remember the name of the movie that Colin's in.

I have to Google him. I don't remember. He's the one with the dark eyebrows. I get him confused with Colin Farrell. Oh. I mean, Bridget Jones Diary. Love Actually, The King's Men. I mean, guys, really, you don't like Colin Firth.

Oh. I mean. Okay, yeah, yeah. All right, now I know which Colin you're talking about. So you guys both like him a lot. Yeah, he's just a good actor. So he's a good Colin. Yeah, I like that Colin. He's a good Colin. He's like in my top three colins oh that's awesome right above colin

hanks so anyway all right well this isn't about this isn't about all the famous colins in hollywood this is about you and your date with carolyn well yeah so we're both digging on colin and we're laughing and it's just a weird fact. You know, like, why do we both like this guy? But anyway, so up until that point, like, I couldn't figure out what was going on. Then I talked to your producer, and there's this one thing I can't shake now that I'm like, oh, my God, did this screw everything up? What was it? So a couple times throughout the night, she mentioned, you know, while we're sitting. She's like, oh, it's kind of cold in here.

Like, oh, man, I'm cold. And I was like, yeah, yeah, it is kind of cold in here. But meanwhile, I had this, like, big jacket. And I never offered to, like, you know, hey, would you like my jacket? You know, and I'm just sat there, like, totally aloof. And you're like, oh, yeah, that sucks. You're like, I'm not cold at all. Yeah, I got this huge jacket.

I could put it on at any time and be warm. You should have brought oh yeah, that sucks. You're like, I'm not cold at all. Yeah, I got this huge jacket. I could put it on at any time and be warm. You should have brought a jacket, dummy. Yeah, and I just didn't even think about it, you know? I mean, is that a reason not to call somebody back if you're having a good time? I mean, like, she did keep hinting it to me, like, a couple times, and I just

didn't pick it up. So maybe, I don't know, does she think I'm stupid or inconsiderate or what both i do feel though as a woman if you hint a couple times and it's obviously the dude is not picking up then it's your responsibility to say hey can i borrow your jacket of coal yeah i don't i don't know like maybe it's on her maybe maybe it is on me you know but otherwise the date in general just it went really well. I mean... How did it end?

So in the middle of the date, she said that eventually she's going to meet up with some friends after this. And it seems legit, like she actually had these plans. So I walked her to the parking lot and we actually had a kiss. Oh, you did? Yeah.

With each other? Yeah. On each other, I know. Oh, okay. I didn't know if maybe you guys both saw other people and started kissing them. Good question, Judo. That's good, yeah. I thought that was a hard-hitting question.

Solid, yeah. So you guys... We shared a kiss. Okay, sweet. So you guys kissed each other, and now she's not calling you back. Did you try to make plans for another date at the end of it? I sent her a text later that night that said, never expected the night to go so

well. Great meeting you and love to see you again. That's a great text. That's a perfect, well said. And you've got nothing, nothing back? Nothing. Wow. Have you talked to your buddy who set you guys up on the blind date to begin with? Not really. You know, now because he's a work colleague and his friend,

it's kind of like, you know, like he said, complicated. Well, he set himself up for that drama by trying to play Cupid. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. But what was it? I mean, was I not attractive enough? But when we kissed, so like, I don't know. She seems like a quality person. I'd like to see her again.

Okay, well, we'll play a song and then come back and call her and get your second date update, okay? Cool. All right, man, hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Morning's second date update okay cool all right man hang on 92.5 brook and jubal in the morning second date update if you're just tuning in for today's second date update jack is on the phone and jack really would probably rather be calling the famous actor colin firth for a second date because apparently he loves colin firth a lot but jack bad news colinth is married. I just looked him up on IMDb.

Hey, I respect that. Yeah, okay. All right, well, respect his acting and his marriage, please, okay? Absolutely. So instead we're going to call Carolyn. Jack went out with a girl named Carolyn. He actually met her through a colleague of his. It was kind of a blind date. And the reason I bring up Colin Firth is because, according to Jack,

the date started pretty slowly, and then once they started talking about Colin Firth, things picked up because apparently they both are huge fans of his. Wow. He ended the date with a kiss, but now she's not calling him back. So we're going to see if we can get her on the phone and find out why. Are you ready, Jack? I'm ready.

I'm kind of nervous for you. I mean, you talk this woman up. Like, she's cool. She's beautiful. She loves Colin Firth. I mean, it sounds like it honestly could be the start of a relationship. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's what I thought.

I mean, that's why I sent that text. I was just like, this is quality stuff. This girl's my unicorn. All right. Well, we'll see if she answers her phone and then ask if you can go out with your unicorn again, okay? All right. All right. Here we go.

Hello? alright here we go hello hi is this Carolyn yes hey Carolyn how are you this is Jubal from Brooke and Jubal in the morning okay why are you calling me

well solid question because we do a segment on our show it's called the Second Date Update. That's where if you go out on a date with somebody and end up not calling them back after, they can email us to get you on the phone and ask what happened. And we got an email about you from a dude named Jack.

Oh, I'm so confused right now. I'll try one more time. So you went out on a date with a guy named Jack. Yeah, I did, kind of. How did you know that? Because Jack emailed us. Jack emailed you? Yeah.

About our date? Well, he emailed us because he said he had a really good time with you, but now you're not calling him back or answering his text messages, and he's confused. A good time? He said we had a good time? Yeah. Is this a joke? Am I being pranked right now? Wait.

Are you arguing with the fact that about the good time? Like the good time is what's freaking you out? I don't even know, Jack. Like we didn't even go on a date. What? You just said you did. Kinda. We were supposed to go on a date. Like our work friend set it up with us but

he came into the bar and he sat at a different table with another girl wait what yeah no way wait you were at the bar to meet jack jack walks in and goes and sits with a different woman that's what i mean like i kind of went on a date with him but it didn't actually happen because he sat at a different woman? That's what I mean. Like, I kind of went on a date with him, but it didn't actually happen because he sat at a different table. Did you ever talk to him? No. We were texting a little bit to set up the date,

but I've never talked to him in the face. So wait, you watched him walk in, sit at a different table, and then you didn't approach him? Yeah, I was just sitting there, and then he came in, walked right past me, and was talking to some other girl the whole time. So I wasn't sure if I made a mistake or he made a mistake. But I realized a whole thing was a mistake when I got a text from him later where he was telling me that he had a great time and he'd like to hang out again.

Wait, no. So he accidentally went out on a date with another woman that was at the bar who he thought was Carolyn. I mean, that's what it looked like. I don't know. How does that even happen? I mean, I have no idea.

All I know is that he walked in, he sat down at another table, was chatting with this girl who looks nothing like me, you know, and then they shared a kiss outside the bar when they were done wait wait wait you stayed and watched their whole date yeah i was already having my drink so i was just gonna finish it and then i was like watching them because they look like they're having a

really good time and i was trying to like address the whole situation with myself i was just really confused and i won't i mean it was kind of funny at the end yeah i would have ordered i would have ordered food and just sit next to him and hear the conversation yeah I was just like really slowly sipping my drink because I didn't know what was happening well and what I mean like in an entire evening why did you never go up and tell him that you were Carolyn I mean he looked like he was having a good time with that girl and you know if somebody makes a stupid mistake like that like i really don't want to like talk to them or go on a date with them so it was almost like a blessing

in disguise because like how do you make a mistake like that like did you never ask her if her name was carolyn like i don't understand right i wonder if her name was carolyn like what are the chances of her name being carolyn does she look kind of like you at all we had the same color hair as blonde but you know i honestly think i'm a little bit prettier than her. I know that sounds bad, but, like, I am. And how did she sit through a whole date being called Carolyn? Yeah, we needed to talk to Jack to figure it out. Yeah.

Good luck figuring it out. I don't know him, and I know that he didn't go out with me, so that's going to be a hard one to crack. Well, you want to hang on and figure out what happened because he's actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you. Oh my God. Are you serious? Yeah. Jack, are you there still?

Yeah. Um. Explain. Yeah. I don't know if he gets it. You're joking, right? Like, Carolyn, you're messing with me. No, I'm not, Jack.

Nice to meet you, by the way. What in the world? Who did I go out? I don't know. You kissed her. I'm sure you said her name at some point. Did you tell her your name? I don't think I ever.

I just slipped in and just said, hi. Really nice to meet you finally. And then we just started talking. I thought I was on a date with you. I'm just like really concerned about that girl now. So wait, how long was your date with non-Carolyn? Well, not that long because she said she had to go meet friends. I mean like an hour.

An hour. So you sat for an hour with someone who you thought was Carolyn. Did you ever talk about your buddy who set you up? No. I mean, I even slipped it in there real quick just to make conversation. And she just looked at me kind of funny. So I just moved on. I just, oh, well.

That is so crazy. I mean, you must have seen a picture of me before. The only picture I saw was he showed me a group photo, so, like, it wasn't, like, super close, so there was, like, a bunch of people in the photo. I just knew you were about, like, 5'6 and had blonde hair. God. And the girl I sat down with, she was about 5'6,

had blonde hair, very nice, and I had a nice time with her. I mean, you seem like you're describing a lot of girls who look the same way. I mean, you seem like you're describing a lot of girls who look the same way. I mean, well, why didn't you say anything if you knew I was walked into the wrong? Honestly, it was probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life, and I was kind of just enjoying it from afar. And I thought, you know, maybe you would have figured it out since you were talking and laughing and having a great time

that you would realize, oh, this is not the person. But the person but i mean at that point i was just watching a tv show because you looked really dumb what carolyn are you mad at him no i mean i don't i don't know him like i don't care you don't know well enough to be mad at him yeah i don't i don't know who jack is like we text a few times just to find a bar to go to listen carolyn like i'm seriously like i feel dumb but i'm so sorry this happened like i that was definitely not my intention in any way you catfished yourself he did but it worked out because the girl and you really clicked no he truly catfished himself he can't get a hold of the real person now jack so you didn't know this woman that you were talking to, and you made out at the end of your date,

and she didn't, like, go, here's my number? No, she just said she had to meet up with other friends, and we kissed, and I didn't say anything. So she just thought she was just some random dude came out and started hitting on her. She's like, I'll probably make out with him and then go hang out with my friends, I guess. Either that or she thought she was meeting a date.

I mean, like, you could easily go to meet somebody from Tinder, and then somebody shows up, and it's not the same person, and you just figure you'll hit them back up on Tinder. That's true, too. Wow. How are we going to find her? That's what I'm most afraid of. Hopefully she's listening right now.

Wait, do you want to go out with a real Carolyn, or are you more interested in fake Carolyn? I mean, really, I feel like I kind of owe real Carolyn an honest date. I mean, do you like Cullen Firth movies, Carolyn? That's important. You can figure that out, Carolyn. If you go out with Jack on an actual date, we'll pay for it. Would you like to go out with Jack on a first date, like, and really hang out with him?

We'll pay for your date. Honestly, like, I don't know if I want to go out with him. Really? I think I would rather help him find fake Carolyn. Yes, find her. He called her his unicorn. Yeah, you did. That's really sweet to say.

I bet you'd love that. What, do you want to get together and hang out and help him find that girl somehow? I mean, I didn't really see her other than the fact we have the same color hair and she's not that pretty as me. We don't need to insult her. Dude, you guys need to go back to the bar and question the waitstaff. I mean, she was there before you. Maybe she used a credit card. Maybe there's a name. There's a paper trail.

There's something. This sounded like a lot of work. So he doesn a name. There's a paper trail. There's something. This sounded like a lot of work. He doesn't want to find his unicorn that bad. What do you want here, Jack? Do you want to try to find the other girl, or do you want to see if Carolyn will actually go out with you? Well, Carolyn, what do you say we go back to the

bar and we can do a little investigation together, and maybe that counts as a little bit of both. Yeah. Yeah? No. Oh, come on. So no? You make bad life choices as far as I can tell. So is that a solid no on a date then?

That's a solid no. Okay. Solid no. Okay. Well, I'm sorry, Jack. Maybe somebody out there is listening that made out with a random dude at a bar who sat down at your table. Text in.

Text in. 78592. Other than that, Jack, I don't know how we can help you. Well, you tried. If anybody like unicorns out there listening to me, fake Carolyn, please come back to me. Yeah, alright. Fake Carolyn, if you're out there, hit up Jack.

Got a text in at 78592 that says now everybody listening wants to help find the fake Carolyn. Yeah. Talking about today's second date update, if you missed it, this dude Jack wanted to call Caroline. He thought she was great. They bonded over Colin Firth. But the thing is, it was a blind date,

and he didn't go on a date with the right person, because we called Caroline, the one that he was supposed to meet up with. She said that she was at the bar waiting for him, and he walked right past her and sat down with another woman and he had no idea. I guess they kind of looked similar and she ended up silently watching him from a few chairs away on his date with somebody that he didn't even

know that he thought was Caroline. And she said that it seemed like they were having a great date. Wow. How do we find fake Caroline? I don't know. Even real Caroline didn't want to go out with him again because she's like, that's weird that you went on a blind date with me and then didn't even know who I was and sat with somebody else and had a date with them.

But she said she will help him find the real Caroline. Okay. Well, the hunt is on. Yeah, it is. If you went on a blind date with someone that you didn't mean to, give us a call. Absolutely. We'll hook you up with Jack. Remember, if you want a second date update, all you have to do is email the show,

and we will call the person who didn't call you back. 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? We love that for you. Someone else will too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble. Joel, the holidays are a blast, but the financial hangover, that can be a huge bummer.
