Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.

Listen to Better Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts from. We've heard of a lot of interesting date ideas in these second date updates. People are creative. But I feel like the woman from today's second date update, she got her inspiration from watching MTV in the early 2000s.

What? She must be a big fan of that show, Elimidate. I don't know if anybody remembers that show or not, but don't worry about it. It's not on the air anymore. Anyway, Kenny is on the phone right now. What's up, Kenny? Hey, how's it going? Pretty good. Before we get into the weird date that you went on, tell us a little bit about the girl you want to call today. What's her name? So her name's Marianne. Marianne. Okay. And apparently her weird date idea was awesome

though, because you're trying to get ahold of her. I mean, it, uh, yeah, it definitely intrigued me. It was definitely, uh, I've never seen it before. You know what I mean? Okay. Before we get into the date, where did you meet Marianne? We met on Tinder. On Tinder, okay. What did you like about her?

She just seemed really, really cool. You know what I mean? Like, her pictures weren't, they weren't just like the standard bathroom selfie. You know what I mean? So, yeah, I don't know. She seemed really unique. She had, like, the Spotify thing, and she had some good music taste. She had some Steve Miller band.

Oh, yeah. I like that on Tinder. That's always good to, like, have similar music taste. Don't know anything about Stephen Miller or his band, but I have heard a lot of people that like that. Anyway, so tell us a little bit about the date. So she texted me saying, let's meet up, let's go to a coffee shop. And then she told me that she had 15 minutes. She was giving me 15 minutes to talk to her and hang out with her.

But that's it, because she was very busy. But it's kind of like, I mean, that's kind of the thing right now. Like you do a pre-date. I mean, you have to go through so many people when you're doing online dating apps. It's like, it's a numbers game. Right. But the interesting part was she told me she was taking two hours out of her day to meet with lots of different men in like 15 minute intervals okay

so she's just sitting at that starbucks interviewing dates basically yeah that that really was it so wait hold up so i mean you're cool with that obviously i mean at first i was kind of like shocked like i didn't think she was being serious but it really intrigued me personally i've never experienced something like that it was like a dating competition and you don't have time to be shocked you got 15 minutes yeah you gotta get through it what did it feel like when you walked into the starbucks and you knew probably most of the men that were in there were in line to go on a date with the same person you were going on a date with? It's definitely pretty nerve wracking. But beforehand, I tried to go in with, you know, a little advantage.

You know what I mean? So I decided to try and prepare some topics and questions to try and answer. So you are a competitive man. You're up for the challenge. Well, why not, you know? And how did it go? So it went well. I gave her two questions that I thought were the most interesting.

You know, they weren't the standard, where are you from? What were they? Yeah. So the first one was, how long would you give someone after a light goes green before honking at them? Oh. Okay. It says a lot about a person's patience.

Yeah, yeah. And the other one was, if you could kiss any animated character, who would it be? Oh, my God. What were her answers? Yeah. So the first answer for the stoplight one, her answer was 15 seconds. She gave somebody 15 seconds before honking. That's a solid.

That's a good amount of time. I'd probably give 30. 30? Whoa, that's a long time. Dude, I'd give it 10 maybe tops. Okay, what was the next answer? Good question. So I thought this was hilarious, actually.

She said He-Man. She'd make out with He-Man. I didn't even think of He-Man. I immediately thought I was going to do it with Aladdin. Really? I thought Wreck-It Ralph but that's just me. Wreck-It Ralph yeah he's got nice lips though. You know you could sleep with a female character. I thought it was a guy's only

question. Well that'd be Cinderella. He just said cartoon character. Alright so did you like her question? Did you like her answers to those questions? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I didn't really know what I would get out of them. You know, it wasn't like a rigged question, but I definitely thought it was really interesting.

And, you know, we actually, in our 15-minute session, we actually went overtime and lasted about like 19 minutes. Oh, damn. Okay. Yeah, yeah. So, like, as I was sitting there, I could see other guys kind of like loitering, kind of like waiting their turn. It is like her own little dating competition TV show.

They're like, come on. That's exactly right. She must be hot, right? She's really hot. Yeah. Yeah. She can get away with this. Exactly.

For a bunch of dudes to line up for 15 minutes for a shot at going on a real date with her. I think a lot of women could pull this off. I mean, the confidence it takes to pull this off makes you attractive no matter what your physical attributes are. Did she have a timer set? Like, how did you wrap it up? She would just look at her phone periodically. There wasn't like an alarm. I wish she didn't have a trap door. As soon as 15 minutes is up, fall through the floor, next guy sits there. So how did you end everything then?

When it was all over and we were saying goodbye, I gave her a handshake, which, you know, I thought was appropriate since this is the first time we've like hung out and we've only hung out for what, 19 minutes? Yeah, totally. Now, like now I'm thinking, oh, maybe I should have gave her a hug or something like that. And you haven't heard anything from her at all Unfortunately that all took place on a Friday, and so I texted her that night, and I said hey It was really cool. You know going out. I thought it was really funny really had a really great time and then She left me on read that Saturday, and I haven't heard from her since since yeah last Saturday Oh my god. Are you if it's not you aren't you curious who she did pick? I said that Saturday, and I haven't heard from her since, yeah, last Saturday.

Oh, my God. If it's not you, aren't you curious who she did pick? I am dying. Yeah, I bet. All right, well, we'll play a song, and then we'll come back and call her and get your second date update, okay? Sounds great. Thank you. All right, man.

Hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. Second Date Update. If you're just joining us for today's Second Date Update, Kenny is on the phone and he wants to call a girl named Marianne. And his first date with Marianne was less like an actual date and more like a reboot of the old game show, The Dating Game. Because they met on Tinder and she said, we can meet at Starbucks, but we only have 15 minutes because I've got a bunch of other dudes lined up who are also going to date me for 15 minutes and then I will choose a winner.

Nice. And it looks like Kenny has not been chosen as the winner because he's not getting a call back. He does want to know why, though. You know, this could really backfire. We could find out that she went on real dates with all seven of the other contestants and you were the only one that didn't get a callback. I mean, even if so, I just need the closure at this point. It's like seeing the first segment of a show going to commercial break and then never getting the closure. That's exactly right.

Yeah. And at least she could have done is give you some kind of consolation prize. Yeah. You didn't get the date, but you just got a new Maytag washer and dryer. Congratulations, Kenny. I'll take it. Yeah, he'll take it. All right, well, I'm going to call her right now and see if we can figure it out for you.

Here we go. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Marianne, please? This is Marianne. Hey, Marianne, how are you? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. Who is this? Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning.

It's a radio show. Um, what's going on? Not much. What's going on with you? That's not what she meant. Okay, I'm really busy. I'm sorry. I'm a little confused what's happening i'll make

this quick then we do a segment on our show called the second date update that's where if you go out on a date with somebody and then they end up not calling you back you can email us and we'll get that person on the phone and find out what happened so we actually got an email about you from a dude named kenny who kenny he told us about a date that he went on with you where you gave a dude named Kenny. Who? Kenny. He told us about a date that he went on with you where you gave a bunch of dudes 15 minutes to get to know you at a Starbucks and then I guess you were going to choose the winner.

Kenny was one of those guys. Oh. And I gotta say, genius move with the basically creating your own dating competition. Well, I wasn't trying to make it a competition. I'm just really busy, and I don't have a lot of time,

and I just, like, wanted to get it done. Okay. Well, out of all the dudes that you hung out with that day, do you remember spending time with Kenny? I have to check my notes. Let me look. He said, this may help, he said that you guys went over the allotted 15 minutes

and your time with him was up to 19 minutes. Okay. I'm looking here. Yeah, he was guy number four. Oh, my God. You actually really, for real, have notes? Yeah. I thought she was kidding.

You were organized. Can you give us a little information about your date with Kenny based on your note-taking? I just felt like, I mean, he did well during the interview portion of the meeting. Wait, there's another portion besides interview? Yeah, there's the interview portion and then there's the closing. The closing. Oh, so is Kenny not a closer? Not with me. I mean, I think we had a good dialogue going.

And then at the end of the date, he kind of just failed. And I wasn't impressed. He said he gave you a handshake. You wanted him to go in for a kiss after hanging out with you for 15 minutes? Yeah, he didn't kiss me. And, you know, it's a date. You actually did want that? Yeah. I mean, hello, you know, it's a date. What? You actually did want that? Yeah.

I mean, hello, you have a limiting amount of time. A real man would take advantage and close the deal. And, you know, I was giving him signs, and he just shook my hand. That tells me everything I need to know about him, whether he's a man and he's not. He's trying to be a gentleman, baby. Okay, that is unfair. First of all, I know that you probably watch a lot of reality shows, but dating someone for 19 minutes,

that's impossible for anyone to really show who they are in 19 minutes. Like I said, I thought the interview portion went well, and he showed who he was, and I was giving him signs and signals to close the deal, and he gave me a handshake. I bet he was just trying to respect your space. Did the other guys that you hung out with that day kiss you? Yeah.

Wait, hold on. All of them? Not all of them, but some of them. So you're just inside a Starbucks for two hours making out with multiple men? I wasn't making out. And it wasn't multiple men. So basically, you don't feel like Kenny is dating material because he didn't try to kiss you after your very abbreviated date. Yes.

Oh, man. Okay. Do or die kind of thing. Marianne, I do want to let you know that Kenny is actually on the other line listening to this conversation and does want to talk to you. Well, you know, I really don't want to talk to him. And I got a lot to do today marianne there's kenny anyway yeah can we talk for a second marianne i guess so i mean you got me on the radio show to begin with you know i know it probably wasn't the best way to go about it but

neither was an interview a 15 minute interviewminute interview. You signed up for it? I thought it was interesting. I thought, don't criticize me. You're the one who showed up. You decided to meet me. If you don't like my style, then don't hang out with me. You're right, but we spent 15 minutes together. It was our first time meeting.

You want me to kiss you? After that, I mean, don't get me wrong. I'd love wrong i'd love to that'd be great you're a very wonderful woman but i mean i honestly i am shocked that what two guys a couple guys they actually had the nerve that's insane to me it's not that they had the nerve they had the confidence okay i gave you the sign you didn't pass you don't have what it takes to be in a relationship with me you lose whoa you lose okay wait marianne if you're such a strong woman and you're such a confident woman yourself if you liked him why didn't you go in for the kiss why didn't you make the move thank you look i want a strong man who takes charge and you didn't do that okay i want a man who knows what he wants i want a man who takes what he wants i

don't have time for anything other than that i do know what i want i was just trying to be courteous yeah i didn't know that in the process that there were different sections i didn't know that you had it divided up into the interview and and. And is there a written section? Do I need to bring a number two pencil? I texted you the rules. You knew how it was going to go. You agreed to it. You confirmed with me. You knew what was going on. That's why I prepared my interesting question. And they were great. I told you, you passed the interview. It was the closing section. You did not.

Well, I can close. I can close, and I would have loved to close with you. I don't know. Why don't you kiss me right now? Is that good? You want me to kiss? Here. Give me a kiss. Give me a kiss right through the phone. How's that? Three, two, one.

Is that good? Did that close? No. That's really weird, man. I mean, come on. It's not even funny. It's not even clever. Well, you know, you said that you wanted a guy who takes charge.

There's some charge for it. You want some more charge? Here, come on a second date with me. Let's go on a second date. Let's grab some coffee. Let's go grab some coffee and hang out for 20 minutes. Does that cut it? Is that good? We can make out. How does that sound? Is that great?

Oh my God. I don't know if he's angry or confident. Kenny, no, this is not working. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm taking charge now. Oh, yeah. I'm feeling it. I feel the charge in my bones. Oh, this is what you like,

right? Not really. I mean, you're over the phone. Oh, please. I know you can feel it. I know you can feel it in the sound. Oh, my God. Can I get off the phone now, please? Really? Like, please? I'm begging. No, no, no. You listen here, Marianne. You're

sending me mixed signals. You know that? Because you're like, oh, no, no. You listen here, Marianne. You're sending me mixed signals. You know that? Because you're like, oh, no, no. I want a guy that takes charge. I want him to kiss me after 15 minutes. But you're also like, oh, no, I want a guy that plays by my rules. And I want to have complete dominion over him. What do you want, Marianne?

What do you want from me? I want to get off the phone. Okay. Did you even go out with any of the other guys? I did. I went on another date. Really? And how did that work out with your strong men? You know, I'm sitting here being criticized. It went very well, and I don't

appreciate any of your tones. I'm very busy today, and I've already been on the phone for 20 minutes, it feels like. So, can we wrap this up? Yeah, absolutely. And I was just looking for an opening to do that. So thank you very much, Marianne, for helping me out with that process. Would you like to go

on a second date with Kenny? We will pay for it. What do you think? I'm going to go with no. You still sound on the fence to me, Marianne. He was a no then and he's a no now. Oh. You know what?

This sucks, man. I try to be a gentleman on a date. I try to be nice and courteous, so I give you a handshake, and then you get mad when I don't kiss you. Come on, man. Stupid. That's my style. Obviously, we don't connect.

You don't get me. Let's wrap this up. Okay. Okay. She is direct. Well, Kenny, I'm sorry You don't get me. Let's wrap this up. Okay. She is direct. Well, Kenny, I'm sorry you didn't get a second date. That's all right. And the next time you meet any woman at a coffee shop,

now you know you just kiss her right away just to be sure. Real good advice. Broken Jubal in the morning. A lot of people texting in at 78592 right now. Not a fan of Marianne from today's second date update. If you missed it, this dude, Kenny, wanted to call Marianne. He told us he went on a weird date with her

where she would only give him 15 minutes of time to impress her. She was up front about it with him and said her schedule was very busy, so he was going to meet with eight dudes in one day. And each of them got 15 minutes, kind of like her own speed dating. A lima date.

Yeah, I made the comparison to that old MTV show, A Lima Date. And that's what she did. Kenny thought it went great. Didn't even mind having to do the 15-minute get-to-know-you session. His actually even went 19 minutes. So he thought he was in for sure. But he wasn't getting a call back. So we got Marianne on the phone, and it turns out that she said Kenny couldn't close the deal

and took off points from his score, and she actually grabbed notes, too. Yeah, she called him guy number four. Yeah. Dude, I would hate to date a girl like her. She's, like, overly organized. Way too organized. I mean, even in your dating life, you're organized. She said that she took off points because he didn't try to kiss her at the end of their

15 minute hangout. It's still baffling to me though that she sounds so controlling that she's not the one that would want to initiate the kiss. That part is really hard for me to put together. A dude to just take control and she said a couple of the other guys kissed her at the end of 15 minutes

and she liked that and decided to go out with them instead. Can you imagine being a barista in the Starbucks she was at? That would be so amazing to watch this whole thing go down. Like, what is, is she a hooker? Like, what is happening? Why does she have all these men coming in? Well, probably when you first saw it, you'd think job interview because I've seen a lot of job interviews in Starbucks and people keep coming in, they got 15 minutes and then

she starts making out with them. You're like, whoa. She's kissing all the candidates. I don't get what's happening. Remember, if you want to do 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. Moving 92.5.

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.
