Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Mornings. Second date update. I feel like I start a lot of second date updates off this way, but when you're going to joke with a date, it's all about timing. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. And appropriateness. Mm-hmm.

For example, if you're out on a date and the girl's like, oh, I'm feeling a little bit under the weather today Probably a bad time to go, well, I'm a gynecologist I could help you out later after we eat Oh my god, that's so gross And it's been said before That's the sad part I have no idea But Kurt thinks that a bad joke might have ruined his chances

At a second date with a girl named Angie What's up, Kurt? How are you? Hey, very good, guys. How are you? God, was your joke as bad as the one Jubal just said? Timing-wise, probably a little bit worse. Oh, my God! What did you say? We'll get to that in just a second. First, tell us about Angie. Where'd you meet her?

So we actually met on Bumble. Okay. Nice. Does that mean she chose you? She did. Yeah! i feel like guys would go in with a lot more confidence knowing that they've been picked first right absolutely that's way different than tinder yeah definitely i mean and that's probably contributed to uh the poor choice of joking i don't know okay oh really yeah you got too comfortable too quick too comfortable too

quick before you tell us about the joke tell us about the start of the evening with her. How was everything? It was just kind of weird right off the bat, you know, because online we were texting each other back and forth. Just a lot of joking mostly. Then on like the day of the date when I picked her up, she just kind of just didn't seem like she was in a good mood at first. Okay, so you started off thinking like oh maybe something else happened she's not feeling this yeah like you know obviously we had never been out or anything i didn't really know her that well so this may have just been how she acted all the time

and so yeah i mean i asked her a few times like she was okay, and she just never seemed like she wanted to talk about it. Okay. Okay. So what'd you guys do? We went to dinner. Okay. Oh, that's good. Yeah.

Did she open up more at dinner or still kind of the same? She was still pretty much the same. Towards the end of dinner, though, was when she kind of, like, let me know what was going on. What was going on? So it was going on. What was going on? So, it was really tight. Like, her grandmother actually passed away, like, you know, within a week of us going out, yeah. Oh, that sucks.

She was probably not getting a big settlement, so she was upset. What? No! Jubal! Oh, my God. She obviously really liked you if she thought, like, man, I'd still want to go on this date. Maybe this will cheer me up. Exactly. Maybe this is the silver lining that I need this week.

Did she mention anything about the settlement? No, a jibble. Yeah, there was no talk of, like, any settlement or, like, a will or anything, thank God. Yeah, I would hope not. But that's a real bummer. How did you respond when she told you that? Well, I mean, this is kind of where I think I messed up. So my grandfather had actually passed away a couple months before.

And, you know, I was kind of telling her, like, I totally understand. You know, I was like, my grandfather actually passed away recently. You know, and obviously it's, you know, really tough. I was like, you know, but maybe we could get my grandmother, who is still alive, to hang out with your grandfather. Oh! Who's still alive. You took the opportunity to try to hook up your grandparents. How did she take that?

Well, she didn't really say anything at first. And then, you know, she kind of started to like look around. So I like I quickly let her know, like, hey, I'm just joking. I'm just trying to make you feel a little bit better. And yeah, That was pretty much the end of the funness of the date. Especially because jokes are supposed to be funny and that's not

even really funny. Yeah, I know. It was really bad timing on my part. I wasn't thinking. I was just trying to make the situation a little bit better. But I could see if you apologize that she should understand. I don't know, Kurt. I thought it was hilarious. So how did everything end then after that well pretty much it ended very shortly after that joke uh whoa she was like yeah you know she just said she was kind of ready to go back to her house and

i took her back i didn't try making any moves or that's good i didn't try you know obviously you know kissing her or anything i wanted to, you know, because I really did like her outside of that crappy joke that I made. You know, she was really nice. Have you talked to her at all since? No, I haven't. She hasn't called me back. Okay. I just feel like, I mean, people say awkward things in awkward moments on a date.

I feel like what you said, though not funny, forgivable. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Like I said, I was just, I was trying to be lighthearted about it, but it obviously was maybe a little too soon. And I don't know. Yeah, she hasn't called me back. And it's kind of, like, surprising, too, because, I mean,

usually girls call me back. Like, I'm kind of like a part-time model. So, you know, even if girls don't like me, they generally will, you know, reach back out to hook up or something. Because you're attractive. You're hot, yeah. I mean, you know, even if girls don't like me, they generally will, you know, reach back out to hook up or something. Because you're attractive. You're hot, yeah. I mean, you know. Yeah, all right.

The very least, we can get her on the phone and see if you can apologize for your joke and try to get a second date. Well, hopefully, hopefully she's down to go back on me. Like I said, I really liked her and I felt like we connected. I just, you know I just made a joke. Okay. Well, we'll play a song and then come back and get your second date update, all right? All right, guys. Okay, hang on.

Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Morning's Second Date Update. Today's second date update brings up a very important question. What is the timeline on how soon you can joke about somebody's dead grandparent? Yeah. I think we got to figure it out. I think we should do it by maybe the age that they were when they died. Like if they were 80, got to wait 80 days before you make a joke.

It's not actually a bad rule of thumb. Yeah, or maybe just don't joke around people's dead ancestors. But I also feel like- Well, how do you not, Jose? You have to at least throw a joke or two in there. You just got to make sure the timing is right. And Kurt, who's on the phone for a second date update right now, his timing was definitely not right.

He went out with a girl named Angie. They went out to dinner. She was kind of a little down the whole time. And then she shared with him that she was feeling down because her grandmother had passed away recently. And then Kurt decided to make her feel better with a joke saying, hey, my grandpa passed away recently. We should totally hook our grandparents up.

They're single. And she didn't find it very funny. And then the date ended very shortly after that. So we're about to give her a call. And Kurt, one thing we should do in this phone call is find out how old her grandma was so we know when the appropriate time to make that joke is that sounds good no you guys stop bringing up the dead grandma i mean i think that this is your chance to like apologize and maybe say what you should have said when she said that you've

had time to think about it do you know what your appropriate response would have been after she said her grandma kicked the bucket um i would have just said, I'm really sorry to hear that. You know, if there's anything I could do, let me know. And then maybe change the subject. That's so good. God, hindsight is 20-20, isn't it? It's a much better option. All right, well, I'm going to dial her phone number right now and see if we can figure

out why she's not calling you back, okay? Sounds good. All right, here we go. Hello? Hi, is this Angie? Um, yeah, who's this? Hey, what's up, Angie? How are you?

This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning, the radio show. Oh, I'm fine. how are you not bad it sounds like you might be familiar with the show yeah i mean i've i've heard it before cool thank you you ever heard a second date update before um yes i have okay wonderful then this is gonna be excited to know that's why we're calling today. Oh, really? Yeah. Uh-oh. That wasn't very excited.

Uh-oh. Okay, what's going on? Have you been out on a lot of dates recently? Not a lot. Okay. Have you been out on a date with a dude named Kurt? Yes, I did go out with him. Cool. Any guess on who might be calling for a second named Kurt? Yes, I did go out with him. Cool.

Any guess on who might be calling for a second date update? You just said it. I kind of told her. Well, I guess it's him, but that's kind of weird. Why is it weird? It's weird?

Yeah, I mean, I'm not interested in going out with him. Yeah, I mean, he got that because you haven't called him back. Remember, the point of the second date update is find out why. Yeah, but I guess he really didn't get it because he actually called you guys, which is weird. Yeah. Oh, so you're saying that it should be obvious why you're not calling him back.

Yeah, I think so. I guess it's not, though. Really? Is it the joke about your grandmother? Oh, he actually told you that. Yeah, that was that was really I didn't appreciate that at all. But that's not the whole reason. He did tell us about that. He told us that he feels bad, actually, about making a poorly timed joke when you shared that your grandmother had just passed away. So he does feel bad about that but it's more to it yeah um yeah i think that like the worst part was that he was

going on and on about the fact that he's a male model it was like very uncomfortable for me and he kept like making all these faces like this is my relaxed face and this is my. Oh, my God. Evening romantic face. Who does that? Are you serious? He mentioned that it was weird. You weren't calling him back because girls always call him back because he's a model.

Yeah. Oh, please. So doesn't that give you an idea of like how gross he is? Wait, when did he start doing faces at the table? Like really early on in the date. Like he seemed like he was trying to impress me. You know, if there was a mirror behind me in the booth, I bet you he would have just been looking at his reflection the whole time.

Yeah, this dude is like, here's me, here's the world, and here's all my faces. And I was like, oh, come on. I wasn't in a really good mood, you know? I mean, I just wanted to go out and have some fun. I'm sad about my grandma. And this guy, ew, he just made it worse. I'm surprised he didn't take that opportunity to show you his sad look.

You know, he may have. He showed me a lot of looks, a a lot of look what did you say to him i mean i didn't know what to say because i i mean he just thought that he was so entertaining and i mean i sort of tried to get the point across that i wasn't really into seeing all these faces and i just kind of wanted some nice company, and, you know, but I guess he didn't get it. Okay, so long before the dead grandma joke, you were over this guy. Yes.

I mean, that sure didn't help matters, but I don't, it's not the kind of guy that I want to hang out with, no. Well, Angie, thank you for being honest with us. Also, I want to let you know that I haven't been fully honest with you. What do you mean? Well, I mean that Kurt is actually on the other line listening to this and wants to talk to you.

Oh. Angie. Oh, my God. You're on the phone. Great. Yes, I'm on the phone. And first of all, I know you're trying to bash male modeling but uh it's you know really insensitive and you know i was just trying to show you you know kind of like my talents and

hoping that you would show me your talents but you don't really have any somebody got their feelings hurt kurt i mean maybe i don't care that much about your talents right now i have other things going on in my life. I just wanted someone normal to hang out with, but that's not you. Oh, wow. I cannot believe you didn't come in with an apology, Kurt. Like, oh, my God, I was nervous. I told you. I'm sorry.

See how he is? I mean, why am I going to apologize if, like, everybody in the station, including yourself, is, like, making fun of what I do? Like, that doesn't make any sense. I'm not going to apologize for anything. Yeah. Okay, well, I know that you think your modeling is really great, so why do you care what anyone thinks of it? And like I said, I have other things going on right now,

so I'm not so interested in your bragging about your talents. I was just trying to have a good time. Kurt, I don't think you get it. Like, nobody's making fun of your career. They're making fun of you being so self-absorbed well I mean whatever like however you want to spin it you know that's like on you but I was just trying to be outgoing trying to show like a little bit more of my personality on the date but it's being spun around like I'm just sitting here with like some self-indulged guy on a date and that's not who I am that's not what I do and that's what it sounds like I mean how

many faces did you show her for your information actually have 15 to 20 different faces that have all made me over a thousand dollars that's good I wish I could get paid for my face Kurt I do think that's a talent but maybe just not on a date maybe save that for when talent, but maybe just not on a date. Maybe save that for when you're actually working and not across the table from someone at dinner. It's like Jubal going out on a date and doing all his phone tap voices. Like, no one wants that. They don't?

They don't. They don't. I'm sorry. For the future. I think a lot of people give male models a bad rap. And just so you guys know, I mean, I know most of you are in the radio and, you know, whatever Angie does. Male modeling is very hard and we grind every day to make our careers possible. And you have to work on your diet. You have to work on your wardrobe.

You have to keep up with what's going on. And obviously you need to practice your faces. I mean, as funny as this sounds, it's a very important part of what I do. Makes sense. One very, very important thing that you just said, though, that I think probably makes it seem like you're a little self-involved is you said, I don't even know what Angie does. And you went on a date with her and you didn't take the time to figure out what her career is. Yeah, Kurt, you never even asked me what I do. Well, you're too sad looking to really even

talk to you. I was scared to ask you. So it's her fault that you didn't take any interest in her? Yeah, she was just way too sad and just way too down. I just didn't know what to say to her. I just didn't feel like I could ask her anything. Oh my god.

You thought I could cheer her up with some of your faces. I get it, dude. Angie, would you like to go out with Kurt on a second date? We will pay for it. Absolutely not. Yeah. I thought you were going to pause after absolutely. Damn. And if you guys are wondering, I'm making this type of face.

Disgusted. No way. Never again. Dude, you nailed it. I can't see it. Thanks anyway. Yo, stop making fun of my faces

they're real and they very much get me paid alright so oh my god he's miserable keep grinding Kurt

Angie thank you for talking to us and you know you're welcome hopefully you can find a lady out there Kurt that will appreciate you

for all your different looks that's great thank you so much I appreciate your feedback. Text in at 78592 says, I'm a model, and that dude gives us all

a bad name. That guy and maybe a few others, but anyway, if you missed today's second date update, this dude Kurt went out with a girl named Angie, and he noticed immediately that she was in kind of a weird mood Angie and he noticed immediately she was in kind of a weird mood and he found out it was because her grandma had just passed away so Kurt tried to lighten the mood by making a joke saying that his grandpa died recently too so maybe they should

hook up his grandma and grandpa together and the joke didn't land well but we got her on the phone and found out it was partly the reason but the biggest reason was because he's a male model and I guess throughout the date he kept showing her all of his different poses his different faces that he could do his sad faces happy faces what I'm serious face and she thought it was weird today was a day that I was really sad there were just radio because I really wanted to see him visually I feel like all sorts of angry faces at the end of that call I'm also friends a Jewel you know I'm talking about one of my best friends is a male model but yeah at least my friend knows that it looks

bad he doesn't practice or do anything in front of people at all because he knows it's conceited it's a very thing. He's such a good male model, you don't even know when he's putting on a face. Oh! But anyway, Kurt did get super offended with us and offended that people weren't taking his job seriously, even though it is kind of weird, no matter what your job is,

to be doing it in the middle of your day. If you're a CPA, don't do an Excel spreadsheet and show me how cool you are. Yeah, an electrician isn't going to sit at the table and then rewire the outlets that is right next to you. It's just that would be weird.

You wouldn't get another call back probably. So Kate decided she didn't want to go out with Kurt again. And Kurt's fine with that. He'll find somebody else to appreciate all of his many faces. Remember, if you want to do a second date update, just email the show and we will call the person who didn't call you back. Giving away another trip to Vegas in just about five minutes. And don't forget, it is Friday. So Young Jeffrey's Song of the Week who didn't call you back. Giving away another trip to Vegas in just about five minutes, and don't forget, it is Friday,

so Young Jeffrey's Song of the Week is coming up at 8.10. It's Brooke and Jewel in the morning. 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.
