or three, I said three things but I only had two things. I'm out. We'll just go to Amy and find out what happened. Hey, Amy, how are you? Hey, I'm good. How are you? Good. So your email said that your date backfired. We'll get to that in a second. First, tell us about the guy you want to call. What's his name? His name is Jay. Where'd you meet him?

I met him online and it just seemed like we had a lot in common. I thought he was cute and good sense of humor. And, you know, I've been doing this online dating thing for like over a year and it's getting kind of stale. You know, I'm ready to meet somebody nice. So you don't have to meet weirdos online anymore? Yeah. I can understand that.

Yeah, so I thought this sounded promising. So Jay and I decided to meet up and I just, I wanted to make it more fun than usual, just like the average kind of date. So I asked him before we meet, just let me be in charge of the date. Okay. I like that. Was he into a woman that's in charge?

Yeah, he seemed fine with it. I told him, it's a surprise. I'm not going to tell you what we're doing until we meet. I know if it was me, I'd be like, sweet, I don't have to do any work this is great this is awesome so what'd you plan for your date well it's called the lost and found couples challenge oh no what is it well i thought it would be really fun you know we met at a park and what you do is you turn your back to each other, and then you each walk away for 15 minutes, and then you turn around and walk back, and then you tell each other everything that you saw on your walk.

Like you go have a drink or coffee. So you just go on a 15-minute walk and then come back and tell your date about it? Yeah, and the fun part of it is— Okay, good. I'm glad there's a fun part because I was looking for it i didn't hear it yet no it is it's fun um you can't text each other that's cheating you can't text and say hey where are you you know you just have to find each other so you know you take a little different path and then you come back and meet up and find each other that's the way it's supposed to work it sounds like i mean it sounds like it's something that couples should do that have been together for a long time

and need something new to talk about and connection. I don't know. I think it's more like a get-to-know-you kind of thing. I mean, I thought it was a really fun idea. Yeah, and I was like, you planning it took the work away from him, and then you gave him a whole bunch more work on the date. Well, at least it's unique, though. It is unique. Did he seem to like it

no um hence the backfire oh all right what happened well what happened was that i couldn't find him after the the 15 minutes i couldn't find him we were supposed to meet up like in the general vicinity and i just couldn't find him anywhere. So I started getting worried, but you know, I didn't want to ruin the game by texting him. So I gave him a little extra time, but then I really had to text him because I just couldn't find him. Right. So did you find him finally? Was he lost and scared somewhere? Well, no, no. He texted back and we agreed to meet up at this nearby coffee shop. And so I went right over there and I thought he would be there, but he wasn't there.

And I was waiting for like a half hour and didn't see him. So wait, did he never show up? That's right. He wasn't there. So I texted him again and I was like, where are you? And he said, well, I'm here. And I said, no, you're not. You know, like, I don't know if we went, he went to a different place or what?

Because he was like, no, you're not here. But I was at the place where we planned to meet. That'd be frustrating to go on the, first of all, the date and then not be able to find each other and then not be able to find each other in a coffee shop. Right, exactly. Did you ever actually link up? I said, well, are you coming over? Like, this is where I am. Are you coming over? And he said is where I am. Are you coming

over? And he said, you know, I've got something else I have to do. It would be better for me if we just reschedule. I've kind of put a lot of time into this. And so he was just not into it. Sounds like it really sounds like it did backfire and it turned him off after trying to search for you for two hours or whatever. But Amy, why do you want to go out with him again? He essentially stood you up on your date. Yeah, kind of. Well, I thought that actually it went pretty well for those few minutes that we did meet up.

I mean, we liked each other, and I don't know what happened, but I think that we should give another try. I mean, it's not like something horrible happened. It's just, you know, there was a misunderstanding. So, you know, I still like him. I just want to see what happens. Okay. And have you tried to get a hold of him since he said let's reschedule?

Yeah. I tried to get a hold of him, but he hasn't responded. Okay. Well, play a song and then come back and call him and get your second date update, okay? Okay. Thank you. Just make sure you're hanging out on the right phone. You don't go to a different phone.

They can't find you. Just hold on one second, all right? Okay. Moving 92.5 Brooke and Jubal in the Morning Second Date Update If you're just joining us for today's second date update, Amy is on the phone

and Amy really knows how to spark romance on a date. She met this dude named Jay and then they went to the park and walked in opposite directions. Not together. They met at the park and then they went to the park and walked in opposite directions. Not together. Not together, just they met at the park

and then they left each other and that was basically her date. Very romantic. Amy wanted to do something a little creative so she did this lost and found couples challenge. You're supposed to walk 15 minutes in the opposite direction and then try to find each other again

but they never found each other. They even ended up at opposite coffee shops after an hour of searching for each other. And it seems like the dude just got frustrated and didn't want to see her again, but now she's not able to get ahold of him. So we're about to get him on the phone and find out if that is the reason why. Amy, I'm all for creative dates, but did you not run this by any of your friends before you like pulled the trigger? I did.

And I actually found this idea online, and I read that it's supposed to work great, so I don't know what happened. Well, it didn't work out great for you, but I'm going to dial his phone number right now and see if we can get him on the phone, okay? Okay, thanks. Yep, here we go.

Hello? Hi, I was looking for Jay. Yeah? Hey, what's up, Jay? How are you? This is Jubal from the radio show Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. I'm sorry, what? This is Jubal from the radio show Brooke and Jubal in the Morning.

Hi. Hey. Why are you calling me? Good question. I'm calling you because we got an email about you from one of our listeners. An email about me? Yes. I like this.

I say something, you repeat it with a question mark. This is a fun game we're playing, Jay. Got an email about you from a girl named Amy that you went on a date with. Amy that I went on a date with? Yes. Yeah, and I got another one for you to repeat too, okay? Jubal is the coolest guy ever. You're not calling her back, and she's wondering why.

She contacted you because she's wondering why I'm not calling her back. That is exactly what happened. We do a segment on our show called The Second Date Update. Jay, I'll explain because you're obviously confused. And that's where if you go out on a date with somebody and then end up not calling them after, people can email us to get that person on the phone and ask what happened. So Amy emailed us because she's tried to hit you up to go out again, and you won't respond to her.

He's trying not to ask a question right now. Is there a reason why, Jay? I mean, I don't really feel like sharing with Amy what, like— That's good. You don't have to share with Amy. You can share with us. Well, I mean, you guys are probably going to wind up, like, telling her or something. Nah, screw her. No! Oh my god.

I mean, yeah, we will tell her. That's why she wants to know. That's the whole deal. She said that, I mean, she's been frustrated by online dating. She finally finds somebody that she's connected with, and then it doesn't work out, and that's a real bummer. You can understand that. I mean i i do understand that i just don't want to like say something that's going to get back to her and she's going to like get mad or anything well we can try to sugarcoat it for you and we already made fun of her date idea when she told us about the

yeah you guys walk in different directions so i'm not the only one that thought that was a dumb date idea i thought it sounded horrible yeah for real and i do a lot of dumb dates and i'm even on your page on your side with that one was that it was it just the whole concept of the date and she also told us how you couldn't find each other either that would be frustrating that would make me want to leave well it wasn't just the concept of the date. Like, it's weird enough to just show up and have them be like, hi, okay, leave now. That was a little weird. But, I mean, at first, you know, I was excited to meet her, so I was kind of cool with it. And then I started walking away, and after a minute or two, I was like, I don't really want to just walk for 15 minutes to turn around and walk back. Yeah.

So there was a bar like a block away from where we had met up. And I kind of ducked in there to just grab a drink and hang out. And a couple of my buddies live like around the corner. And one of them had texted me to see what I was up to. And I'm like, hey, man, you wouldn't believe this. I'm on a date with a chick. I'm not on a date with her. I'm actually at this bar just hanging out for, like, the next half hour. So they were like, oh, cool, we'll meet you over there. Oh, no. And we had more than one drink, and then we had more than two drinks.

Oh, Jay. All right, so since you didn't go on your walk and ended up getting drunk with your friends, she told us how she was trying to meet up with you at a coffee shop. Did you actually try to meet up with her? Originally, when I went to go and get the drink, I had intended on meeting up with her back at the park. But then one of my buddies was like, it's happy hour getting free over at the strip club. Oh, my God.

So we kind of split over that way. And then she started texting me being like, where are you? And I didn't want to be like, hey, I kind of just got out of there. So I was like, I can't find you either. We should try this another time. Jay, so you went on a day date with a nice girl who put energy and effort into your date, and you ended up at the strip club? With your bros?

Sounds like an awesome date. I don't know how much energy she put into the date. Like, the energy she put into the date was, hey, I found a thing that we can not do together and not get to know each other. Well, that wasn't her intention. She was trying. Have you never screwed up a date before with a bad idea?

Well, I've screwed up a date with a bad idea, but I was in person to screw it up. I didn't leave to let it get screwed up away from me. Why aren't you going out with her now? Why aren't you calling her back? She doesn't know. Honestly, the next day, I just kind of felt really, really bad about the whole thing. And I don't know if I can look her in the eye again if we ever go out again. Yeah, I mean, it is kind of messed up, no matter how bad the date was,

to be on a date and leave that date to go to the strip club with your bros. I know you didn't want us to tell her all of that, so I'm glad we didn't. But you did, because she's actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you. She's on the other line? Yes, there you go, repeating my questions, my statements again. Yes, unless she hung up, Amy is still on the other line. Amy, are you still there? Yes, there you go repeating my questions, my statements again Yes, unless she hung up, Amy is still on the other line Amy, are you still there? Yes, I am

Hey Why didn't you just be honest with me? I mean, so you went to get drunk with your friends I mean, you could have just told me that Well, I didn't intend to be like really rude to you It just kind of snowballed and then i felt bad about it and i felt it would just be better to not continue and honestly i absolutely intended to come back and meet up with you after i had a drink and i just i got caught up and you know i had a couple

more drinks and then a friend of mine texted me. Yeah, we heard the story. Yeah, I heard the whole story. So is this supposed to make me feel better, just the idea that you wanted to hang out with me, you meant to meet up with me, you were going to, but you didn't? How am I supposed to feel about that? Well, I don't know. I guess kind of the same way that I'm supposed to feel about you wanted that idea to be a good first date idea. It is a good idea. It's supposed to go much better than that. It's just that you didn't follow the rules.

That's all. I will say Amy does have a point, though. I mean, it is one of those things where it's not going to be fun unless both people really participate in it. Like, literally within five minutes of the date you decided that going to drink by yourself was going to be more fun you know what though it is kind of a good idea because it's supposed to you're supposed to take a 15-minute walk and then see what happens you started to take your walk and then that led you on a path to a bar and then to a strip club in the middle of the day so actually a lot can happen on this date i found this yeah

you should have joined back up with her been like like, check this out, and seen her reaction. I mean, don't you feel bad knowing that I was walking around the park and the coffee shop looking for you for hours, and meanwhile, you were getting drunk with your friends and going to a strip club and throwing down singles? This sounds like a fight that usually happens later in a relationship. Yeah, it does. Well, hey, look at it this way. All those things that you saw on that long walk around the park for hours is now a thing you can tell me about. Oh, come on, Jay.

Oh, there you go. Now you both have your stories. It's actually just kind of like it turned into a really, really long game of the lost and found couples challenge or whatever you called it, Amy. Would you guys like to get together and swap stories? Jay, we'll pay for a second date. Will you go out with Amy again? Wait, hold on. I already know his whole story.

I mean, he ruined it. Yeah, but he doesn't know yours. Could be fun. Come on. Do you even want to go out with him, Amy? I'd be a lot more pissed if I were you. I think that we should do it over again and do it the right way.

And if he can play by the rules, then we'll give it another try. Okay, so Jay, are you down to try it one more time? And no going to the strip club. Actually, go walk for 15 minutes and come back. Walk the opposite direction. I'd like to, but just with one little change. We meet up and use that time to talk about everything we've seen up to that point. You know, like our lives and where we've been.

That's a regular date. And we talk about those things. Look, I'm not letting you off that easy. This is a fun game, and I want to try it again and do it right, and then we can talk about other things. She really wants to do it, Jay. Will you give her another shot? You know, Amy, I feel bad about it,

and I had a lot of fun chatting with you leading up to that first date, and I do want to really see what's up. So, yes. Okay. Okay. All right. I can't decide if this is exciting or the start of a really unhealthy relationship. Well, at least you guys are actually going out again. Jay, thank you for your time, man. I appreciate it. Thank you, guys. All right. We'll get it all set up, and hopefully we can get an update from you. All right. All right. Take care, man.

Amy, are you still there? Yeah. Amy, why are you going out with him again? Yeah. Oh, I'm actually not. I'm just going to schedule it, and he'll show up, and then I won't. Oh! All right. That's genius.

Oh, my God. It is still a successful second date update. We'll take it. Broken Jubal in the morning. Got a text in at 78592 that says, that sounds like a horrible idea for a date, but I kind of want to do it. See?

Me too. If you missed it, we're talking about today's second date update. Amy wanted to call this dude named Jay. She planned the date, and she had an interesting idea. She wanted to walk 15 minutes in the opposite direction at a park, and then turn back around and try to find each other so that you can share what you saw during your walk. But they got lost during the date

and decided to try again another time. They never actually met back up after they started walking in different directions. We got Jay on the phone and found out that he didn't wanna walk around. He thought the date idea was kinda weird, so he just went and got drunk with his friends at a bar, then ended up at a strip club a little while later,

and then lied to Amy about it. Because the whole time they were like, I can't find you. Let's meet up at a coffee shop. And he never did. But he was actually with his buddies. She was upset that Jay didn't follow the rules and got drunk and went to a strip club instead. But she said she did want to see him again the right way. I will say, though, he wins that game.

Why do you think? Because he's got a way better story than she does. Yeah. Like in his time that he spent on the walk, wow, a lot happened. He saw a lot more interesting things than she did. She saw maybe a bird and a homeless person. Well, Jay felt guilty

and agreed to go on a second date and try it again. So, looks like it might work out for them unless he does it one more time. 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. And speaking of people not calling you back, maybe the insurance companies want to screw you out of some money, and they're not calling you back. See how I did that? I tied that in perfectly.
