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.

Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.

Hi, I'm Ed Zitron, host of the Better Offline podcast. And this January, we're going to go on the road to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada, to cover the Consumer Electronics Show, tech's biggest conference. Better Offline CES coverage won't be the usual rundown of the hottest gadgets or biggest trends, but an unvarnished look at what the tech industry plans to sell or do to you in 2025.

I'll be joined by David Roth of Defector and the writer Edward Ongueso Jr. With guest appearances from Behind the Bastards Robert Evans, It Could Happen Here's Gare Davis, and a few surprise guests throughout the show. Listen to Better Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts from. There are some things that you might want to share on a first date. Spit. Might be one thing. No.

A churro. If you're at a place that has churros, maybe you want to share a churro. Delicious. The fact that you want to get them pregnant, probably not a good thing to share on a first date. And apparently that's why Justin's on the phone today. He maybe shared a little too much on his first date. Now he's worried about it. Justin, what's up?

How are you? Hey, how are you doing? Probably better than you. Hey, I guess it's just a preference, I guess. I don't know. Wait, you want to get someone pregnant? Or is Jubal making a joke? I don't know if it's that much of a joke.

Well, okay. So I feel like I've met the one. After one date? After one date. Is that crazy? Uh-huh. I mean, it depends how you went about it. I mean, I guess some people have gone on dates and people are like, man, that's the one for me. And then sometimes they get married. Sometimes their heart gets broken. And because you're on the phone for a second date update, I might know what position you're in, but I'm not sure. So tell us the story. What's the girl's name? Charlotte. Charlotte.

All right. Yeah. So I don't know. I just feel like I'm not the one. This feels like already like a non-negotiable for me. Okay. Slow down. Where did you meet her?

We met on online dating. And the original plan for our first date was to meet up downtown. And we were going to meet up downtown and we were going to find a restaurant that we both liked we didn't book anything we're kind of like you know let's just let's just see what happens and i was immediately attracted to her online but when i met her in person i was like i was blown away i was like wow wow this is really cool her personality was just radiating okay that's really sweet but it also could be really creepy if the feeling from her wasn't reciprocated, right? Like, it has to be both ways.

Well, I don't know. I'm not a mind reader. I don't know. Was she giving you any hints on the date that she was, like, crazy about you two? Well, we were hanging out, and she didn't run away, so... That's a good sign. That is a good sign. If somebody runs from you screaming, they usually are not into you, so't run away. That's a good sign. That is a good sign.

If somebody runs from you screaming, they usually are not into you. So that's good. That's right. Tell us about your date. Okay. She didn't run away because she was shackled, right? She just didn't run. Yeah, that's right.

Okay. Why can't you trust me if every time I untie you, you try to run away? So that didn't happen. Tell us what did happen. So everywhere we went, it was just super busy. It was like 45 minutes to an hour long wait yeah and uh you know how some girls would be like super judgmental they're like oh how come you didn't book this place or you know i don't want to wait that long right but she was just so chill about it and she looks over to me and it was like the sexiest thing that you could say. I was like, do you just want to go grab some fast food?

Oh, nice. I was like, are you serious? Is that the moment you knew that you wanted to marry her right there? Well, I enjoy myself some fast food, but on the first date, I wasn't expecting this attractive, awesome person to just look over at me and be like, yo, let's grab some fast food, bro. Like, what? That's cool. It's a sign of Like, what? Well, that's cool. That's a sign of a low-maintenance person. That's always nice.

Exactly. So we were so hungry, and so we went to KFC. Cool. And we just ordered this big feast, you know, chicken, gravy, mashed potatoes. The works. The freaking works. And we're just sitting there stuffing our faces. And it was crazy because I didn't even care, and she didn't even care. We were so comfortable with each other. Like, there's just gravy sliding stuffing her faces. And it was crazy because I didn't even care and she didn't even care.

We were so comfortable with each other. Like there's just gravy sliding down her face. You got something on your face. Sounds hilarious. Oh, it's adorable. Awesome. Do you ever get that feeling? Like you're so comfortable with somebody?

Yeah. I mean, that is a good sign. It means that you definitely have a future if you can totally be yourself around someone did she feel the same though was she that comfortable too that's what i'm worried about you know at that point i didn't know but the meal was over and so i just looked at her and i was like you know what i probably shouldn't say this but i'm gonna say it anyway oh no i think you're the one. Oh. Wow. Yeah. Very good.

It's usually, I mean, even if you're thinking it, it's usually not good to share that on a first date. Could scare people off. No, I was speaking from the heart, man. I said, you know what? I think you're the one. And she was definitely surprised. Yeah, I'm sure she was. Did she say anything?

It was hard to read her. She wasn't very vocal about it. But when the date was over, it ended with a hug. I thought it was going to end with a kiss. I thought it was. Well, of course. You thought it was going to end with a baby and a house and a future together. Yeah, I kind of did.

A house, my picket fence, all that. Absolutely. But instead, it ended with a hug. It wasn't like, oh, I'm so excited. It was more like a mom's side hug. Yeah. So not a good hug. You freaked her out, dude. I don so excited. It was more like a mom's side hug. Yeah. So not a good hug. You freaked her out, dude.

I don't know. Maybe I overshared on the date. I mean, I was speaking from the heart. What's going on? Sometimes you're supposed to shut your heart up for a little while. Maybe that's the problem. How many times have you tried to get a hold of her since you guys went out? Three or four times.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that she had an amazing time also. So that's why I'm kind of confused on why she's not reaching out back to me as well. Okay. Well, we'll play a song and then come back and call her and get your second date update, okay? Okay. This really means a lot to me. So I just want to let you know. I know.

The whole future of the rest of your life hangs on this phone call. Yeah. We'll do it right after this. Hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Morning's Second Date Update. If you're just joining us for today's second date update, Justin is on the phone. And Justin, I know this is the first time that you and I have ever talked. But I have to tell you, I think I love you.

And I can see a long future with you. I like hearing that. Yeah, I know you do. Good response, Justin. Solid. I'm saying that because Yeah, I know you do. Good response, Justin. Solid. I'm saying that because... I want to hug you right now. Well, I want to do more than hug you. But we'll get to that later, Justin, you and I.

Depending on how it works with your second date update right now. If you're just joining us, Justin wants to call a girl named Charlotte. They went out, they had some fast food because everywhere else in the city was booked up and he thought that was awesome because she was like low maintenance. But he also told Charlotte that he thinks she's the one on their first date. Why are you laughing?

I'm not laughing. That's a lot. Jose's laughing. It's interesting. Yeah, it's just it's probably a lot for her to handle. And that's why she hasn't gotten back to him. So we're about to call her right now and see if that is the case. Are you ready to go, Justin?

Oh, that. Oh, that makes me makes me nervous well now you're nervous you're not nervous to tell someone that you just went on a first date with that you love them no i just i don't know like she hasn't really reached out to me so i mean i feel for her feel for her you have a lot on the line i think is what you're trying to say like you've already invested a lot yeah yeah there's so much on the line right now. I mean, I'm, oh, okay. You're a passionate guy with a lot of feelings in you, huh? Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely.

Okay. You know, I love that, but just be prepared that she may say it's too much and just slow it down. You know what? I never want to slow love down. So, okay, let's do this. Okay. Yeah, don't slow love down. Let's get to it.

Here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Charlotte? Speaking. Hey, Charlotte. How are you? This is Jubal from the radio show Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. I'm okay, I guess.

Nice. That's good to hear. Can I ask what this is regarding? Sure. I think that that was her question. Oh, I was waiting for you to ask it. Yeah, what is this? Got it.

I'm not good at conversations sometimes. Charlotte, I'm calling you today because we got an email about you from somebody who listens to our show. Um, okay. What did it say? Well, it said that you were a fabulous person. And?

And? And it said that this person loves you a lot, but you might not love them back. Okay. I'm sorry. You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you? Is there something you're looking for from me? Yeah, well, maybe not we are, but somebody else is looking for something from you.

His name is Justin, and you guys went out on a date the other day. Oh, God. Yeah, okay. It all makes sense now, doesn't it? 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 don't call them back, they can email us to get you on the phone and find out why.

And Justin emailed us, said that he was really into you. Yeah, I bet he said that. He did. So he obviously told you that too. Yes, enthusiastically. Yeah, and he says that now you're not returning any of his phone calls or text messages, and he wants to know why. What did he tell you about our date?

Well, he told us that you were trying to go to dinner downtown, but everything was booked, so you guys had fast food. He said the conversation was good. He also said that he told you he thinks you might be the one. He did say that. Did he elaborate on what he said after that no not really okay great so um no he he did look at me and say wow you know i think you're the one and i'm like taken back a little bit but you know i'm thinking like maybe he had a couple drinks

before our date but we were at kfc like we didn't get to a sit-down restaurant where they serve alcohol then he told me that he said that to four other girls on a first date. What? Wait, what? And, like, I don't think I'm very old-fashioned, but I think a soulmate is a one-and-done kind of deal. So it started out kind of weird, and then it just, like, went completely off the scale.

What did you say? I mean, he's just, like, trying it out until somebody says it back to him and then he's just gonna seal the deal every time he said it he meant it at the time at the time that's not what soulmate means and for me like when i do find someone i want to be serious with it's not going to be an at the time thing it's going to be someone i feel a real connection with you you know? How did he get to the point of telling you that he said that before? When he looked at me and said, I think you're the one, I was probably making a face because

I was pretty taken aback. And he was like, well, don't be scared. I thought other girls were the one too. And then he starts telling me about them. What? He's telling you about them? He bet you're actually the one in four or the one in five. I mean, what are you even thinking when you say that?

Like, even if I had been cool with when he first said it, which I wasn't, but if I had, then, like, who's going to be the one at McDonald's next week? Like, I don't even know. You're the one, but I've had a lot of ones. Yeah. Right? Like, that doesn't sound like a one to me anymore. That sounds like a group, and I don't want to be in your group.

I think I'm good. So, I mean, you just, what, wanted to end the date and get out of there? You didn't, like, why didn't you say something to him? What are you going to say? That's going to go well from there. Now I know something that he seemed to believe very earnestly, and my interest is now gone. What am I going to do? Be like, well, well you know at least i

didn't spend money on a nice place to go for dinner uh thanks for your time finish up your fried chicken and get out of there yeah i like my fried chicken but you know what i mean right all right charlotte well thank you for being honest with us i appreciate that yeah i mean it just it was a lot it started with a lot and then there was more and i'm just i'm not responding to that. Since you were so honest with us, now I feel like I should be honest with you because Justin is actually on the other line listening.

He wants to talk to you. No, he's not. Yes, he is. Maybe not. Justin, are you there? Hey, Charlotte. I'm still confused on why you didn't call me back. What's going on? What? Did you not just...

I feel like I just explained myself pretty clearly. Yeah. And I feel like my not responding in the first place was a pretty clear message. I really don't know what you think you're doing. Thanks for dragging me on the radio. Well, I don't know know i just thought that we were supposed to be kind of you know you know you can have more than one soulmate you have like a best friend right you have a you might have a lover you might have a friend i have one best friend i don't have five best friends well what about soulmate business partners like listen i don't

want to have all kinds of soulmates out there you don't make any sense and i don't want to. I have all kinds of soulmates out there. You don't make any sense. And I don't need to listen to you explain this to me again because I am not interested. And there is no amount of explaining you can do now on the radio to make me interested. Listen, forget all that stuff that has happened so far. I just knew immediately when I met you that you were my soulmate, just like I did with those other four girls. And probably some business partners and whoever else. Do you hear yourself talk? You keep saying me and these four other girls. Like, that's supposed to be romantic. I'm supposed to be enticed by that, but I'm in this batch with all these other women. That doesn't make me feel special. Well, listen, I'm not going to shy

away from love. I mean, when we were sharing our coleslaw i can picture you with our kids three years from now wow oh my god justin you have to stop are you also picturing the other women and their kids also are we all there in a group well there's over seven billion people on the planet i should say that i should only have one no we should just stop talking about it we need? No. We should just stop talking about it. We need to go forward. Yeah, let's stop talking about it, Charlotte, and go on a second date with Justin.

We will pay for it. Go out with your soulmate. How do you know I'm not your soulmate? I know for sure that you're not my soulmate because of all the crazy shit that comes out of your mouth. Justin, I think women appreciate a man who's in touch with his emotions, but I don't think that you're actually in touch with your emotions. I think you're just trying to live out a rom-com or something. You know what?

I don't really care what everyone else is saying. I really think that, Charlotte, you are one of the soulmates for me. One of us. All right. Listen, for real, I think that you will be linked to me as a soulmate forever. Wow, I really hope not. I hope so. I mean, I guess no matter what, you choose who gets to be your soulmate, but I don't think this soulmate is choosing you back, Justin, unless I haven't picked up on the right signals from you, Charlotte.

No, I think you've picked up on my feelings and signals pretty well. Oh, well, maybe you and I are soulmates. We know each other so well. Wow, look at that, Charlotte. Two soulmates on the phone. You can have more than one soulmate. No! Okay, well, Justin, right now,

your soulmate Charlotte doesn't want to go out with you. She'll just have to be a memory. Yeah. Charlotte, after everything that we've talked about, I really hope that you change your mind. And I'm going to be here for you. I'm going to wait for you. Oh, my gosh. Until the next person goes to KFC with her, Charlotte.

Don't worry about it. Broken Jubal in the morning. Text in at 78592 that says, I've met four soulmates already this morning, so it's going to be a good day. Okay. Talking about today's second date update. If you missed it, this dude Justin wasn't going to call back from a girl named Charlotte, and he actually told Charlotte

on their first date that he thought she was the one, but didn't understand why she wasn't calling him back. And when we got her on the phone, we found out that he also told her that he said you're the one to like four other girls on dates. Bro! Yeah, says it all the time, I guess. And he explained that he believes people can have more than one soulmate in life.

And he's just trying to cast a very wide net for soulmates. He's using the wrong word. Because one is not accurate then. In the end, Charlotte did not want to be one of Justin's many soulmates and didn't go on a second date with him. He should be fine. He'll find the one in a little while. He'll find another one.

Remember, if you want to do a second date update, all you have to do is email the show. He'll find the one in a little while. He'll find another one. 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. 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 Gemini is 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.
