I've always thought that there should be a Yelp review for people, you know? Or you can just rank people based on all sorts of things, including dating. And apparently the girl on the phone for a second date update today actually had an experience kind of like that after her date. We'll get to that in a second. But first, Alicia, what's up? What's going on? Hi, how are you? Not too bad. Before we get into the whole Yelp review thing I was talking about. Why don't you tell us about the dude you want to call today? What's his name? Gino. Gino. All right. And where did you meet Gino?

I met him online. Okay. He instantly drew me to him because of his profile picture. What was his profile picture? It was clearly a Photoshop picture of him on a T-Rex shirtless with a sword in one hand

and a box of KFC in the other. That's funny. That is a modern day prince right there. Who needs a white horse? Made you laugh and realize he's probably a funny guy then. Yeah, he probably has a good sense of humor. Okay. Did he deliver on the date?

Was he actually fun and funny? He did. He was like super nice. He was funny. We went out for dinner and drinks. He picked like the best restaurant. Oh my God. That makes such a difference too.

If you're eating good food, suddenly everyone becomes more attractive. Seriously though, with that dinner, I had the best salmon that I've had in my entire life. And if I could go back right now, or I should go back right now, it was so good. So do you want us to get you a second date

or you just want to go back to this restaurant? Yeah, I just want to go back to the restaurant. I feel like this is like a case of like food goggles, you know, like beer goggles makes people more attractive. I feel like food goggles would work the same. Possibly. It was so good though. I can't even, I can't explain it. Other than the salmon, how was the rest of the date? So afterwards he took me to an arcade, which is pretty cool, because I haven't been able to play most of those games since I was little, like Ms. Pac-Man and all that good stuff.

And how was that? How was, like, the banter between you two? Banter was fine. I mean, he's a really personal person. To have the date end, did you guys make out, anything like that? No. It was just, like, a little kiss on the cheek go see you later okay you know but the weird part happened when i got home okay i had an email from gino okay and it was

a link to survey monkey yeah and so i was super confused but apparently he wanted me to rate the conversation the date itself. So he made a whole survey asking you about your date experience with Gina. A whole survey. Wow. I mean, what did you think? Was that funny to you? I thought it was like a little weird, but then like, I guess like I kind of respect it because he wants to be trying to improve.

Yeah, or he thought it was a funny thing to do. Yeah, I could see myself doing that and be like, oh, she's going to think this is really funny. Right, but then, like, at the end of the survey, you select a time and date for, like, the next date. Okay, so it was a creative way to ask you out again. Convenient. I guess that I haven't heard from him. Okay, did you

forget to fill that part out of the survey? Yeah, did you click submit? No, I totally did, because I would love to go out with him again. Okay, so you filled out his whole survey, which most people probably wouldn't do. And he hasn't responded to you. Have you tried to actually text him and stuff, or you just left it at the survey? So, I mean, like, I did try and text him after I filled out the date and time for the next date, but I haven't heard back from him.

Nothing. Do you think he's just too good at online dating? Like, he sounds like he's fun and funny but almost like a player in disguise do you know what i mean like everything's a little bit too smooth too funny i guess he does pick great places to go like that restaurant right well and like his like cutesy photograph and then the survey like the arcade maybe he's just going through a lot of dates and you're not on the callback list. Oh, I hope that's not the case, but that's why I would like to find out.

Or were you just way too honest in your survey? Did you like rip on him? I didn't give him like a perfect review because like if I gave him five stars, like he would have, you know, it would have made me look desperate. Yeah, for sure. There's that, too. All right. Well, we'll play a song and then come back and call him and get your second date update, okay? Thank you.

All right. Hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Morning's Second Date Update. If you're just tuning in to today's second date update, Alicia is on the phone, and she wants to call a dude named Gino. They met online. She thought he was funny. They ended up going out for dinner. Then they went to an arcade after.

And when she got home, he actually sent her a survey about the date. Probably as a creative way to ask her out again. She filled out the survey. It even included a time and place for them to go out again. She filled all that out, but now he's not responding to her at all, and she doesn't know why. So, speaking of surveys after a date, let's do one before the second date.

Alicia. Yes. Are you ready to play Who Wants a Second Date? Sure. Okay. Here's your question. If you don't get a second date, are you A, going to yell at Gino, B, going to cry, C, going to yell at us, or D, Portugal?

What? Choose carefully, Alicia. I'm going to say D. I knew it. Portugal. Wrong. That is wrong. It's not Portugal. I know that was a tempting answer, but going to say D. Portugal. Wrong. That is wrong. It's not Portugal.

I know that was a tempting answer, but no, it is not Portugal. I hope this works out for you and it's just a case of he's been too busy. I doubt it, but that's what I'm still hoping for. I'm really hoping that you guys can get a hold of him because I went through a long survey, filling out this survey for him, and I'd really just like to know why he didn't call me back. Maybe the answer is Portugal. Who knows? We'll find out.

I'm going to dial this phone right now. Here we go. Hello? Hi, is this Gino? Yes, it is. Hey, what's up, man? How are you? This is Jubal from the radio show

Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. Okay. How are you? I'm fine. What is this about? It's about you right now, Gino. That's what it's about. Okay.

A little confused right now. Why are you guys calling me? Well, I'm calling you, Gino, because we got an email about you. Now I'm more confused? Can you explain? Sure. Her name is Alicia, and you guys went out on a date recently. Oh, wow. Okay. Okay. 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 then they blow you off, you can email us, and we'll call that person and find out why. So Alicia is wondering why you're not calling her back after she even filled out that survey you sent her. Oh, my God. Alicia told you about the survey? Yep. I actually thought it was a pretty cool idea.

I think we all thought it was a pretty cool idea and a great way to ask somebody out again. Well, it's kind of like standard procedure for me just to not waste anybody's time. Oh, wait. You were doing it for real? It wasn't like a funny joke? Yeah.

I mean, I always ask people to fill out a survey just because like we don't want to waste time if we're not compatible. It just sucks to wait like a month or two to figure that out. I thought it was just like a flirty thing to be like, here's this survey. I'm a wacky dude, but we'll definitely go out again. You actually like you read over it and then decide if you want to date him again. That's correct. Wait, you're not a business, you realize. Like, going out with you isn't the same as, like, eating food at a restaurant. No, it's not. But I get it.

It's in the interest of everybody to not waste our time, you know? So you saw something in her responses to your survey that makes you not want to call her back? Yeah, no, she's a nice girl. But definitely some red flags came up, yeah. Okay, what are some of those red flags? I mean, she didn't tell us any of the questions that were on the survey. I guess we could have asked her that, but...

Yeah, no, she definitely got some answers wrong. How do you answer wrong when it's a survey? Isn't that just asking for your opinion? An opinion can't be wrong. Well, I mean, I guess in this case, it can be. Like, I mean, if you really want to know, like, we went out to dinner, and one of the questions was, what was your favorite part of dinner? Uh-huh.

And she answered the salmon, and clearly the best part of dinner was the banana split sundae at the end, you know? Come on, man. Oh, wow. You're not being that picky, are you? You're joking. That's not a red flag. Let her like what she likes.

Well, to clarify, there's nothing technically wrong with her liking salmon. It's just that, to me, there's no comparison with the ice cream portion of the meal. So it's just a compatibility thing, you know? What? Okay. People don't base compatibility on food likes. Well, I'll elaborate. Another question that was incorrect was, what was your favorite part of the night?

And she answered dinner, which again, raised a serious red flag because the best part of the night was no-brainer the arcade okay i mean come on you know and again that's fine if she likes dinner better than an arcade but you know i'm like a young person i'm not you know a grandparent yet so if you like dinner you're an old person yeah like like she can't like dinner and you like arcades? Yeah. I'm just saying, salmon and dinner as opposed to ice cream and arcades, you know, I'm looking for somebody young at heart and fun. What?

You don't sound, I'm sorry, but you don't sound young and fun at all. You sound like kind of anal retentive and weirdly stuck on surveys. Well, you actually sound like my mom right now. Oh! Well, I mean, think about it though if you say like you want somebody young and fun and whatever you're sending out surveys after your dates yeah overanalyze yeah i don't know you can call it that to me it's a big time saver and more time to have fun and be young but if you wanted okay if you wanted to save time why didn't you just send her a survey before you even went out on the date and said, what do you prefer, video games or eating food? And if she would have picked eating food, then you know that you shouldn't have even started the date to begin with.

Well, I think that the human portion of the interview is also very important. So you do that first, then the survey after. Interview, okay. Okay. Dude. Well. That is, wow. So basically, you just don't feel like you guys are compatible based on your interests.

It's not a perfect fit, no. Okay. Gino, you need to loosen up a bit, man. You could be missing out on someone who could be an amazing partner. Or I could just be getting rid of the people who aren't amazing partners. Yeah. I guess you could look at it both ways. No matter how you look at it, though. Gino, Alicia is on the other line and wants to talk to you.

I know that for a fact. She is? Yep, unless she hung up. Alicia, are you there? Oh, I'm still here. Yeah. What do you think about what Gino said? Sounds like a survey question.

Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? No, I'm not kidding you. I think you're insane. It's a survey question. Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? No, I'm not kidding you. I think you're insane. It's a survey. Like, how are there wrong answers on the survey? That makes no sense. They're not wrong.

It's just incompatible. I'm just confused. Just because I enjoyed the salmon better than the ice cream, that's a problem? Well, it's not a problem for you, but it's a problem for us. I mean, if the score doesn't add up at the end of the survey, it's just not going to work. Oh, my gosh. I'm not sure why you're writing me off as some old lady. Look, Alicia, you are perfectly great, and there's nothing wrong with your answers.

It's just that you know i'm looking for somebody who's gonna be into arcades and that's gonna be the obvious answer every time finding trees going outdoors like pizza parties um those are more in line with you know the correct answers it sounds like you're looking to date a child yeah Yeah, a child at heart, okay, who's into fun stuff. And, you know, there's clearly an age question requirement on there anyway. Oh, my God. That is so weird. Alicia, did you get a sense for this on the date?

Because from his description, he was running your date as if it was almost a job interview. Yeah, I didn't feel like that at all. I mean, it is kind of like a job interview if you're interviewing to be my girlfriend. And, you know, I think it's fair for me to, you know, see what your qualifications are. So you're saying that Alicia is not qualified to be your girlfriend? I'm sure she would make a great girlfriend for somebody else would not for me. Oh, my God. I just feel like, you know, you're taking, like, the humanity out of dating, right?

It should be about chemistry and about how you connect with somebody and your trust level with them and your comfortability. You know, I mean, I'll keep her on file. Oh, cool. All right. I'll keep her on file. Dude, this is beyond me. Like, I spent so much time filling out that survey, and little did I know that you were going to be judging me on the answers.

You're such a jerk, dude. I don't know what to say. I mean, I don't think of it as judging. I know what you could say, Gino. What? You could say that you'll go out on a second date with Alicia. We'll pay for it. Yeah?

I mean, as entertaining as that may seem, I just think that my time is better spent finding somebody who, you know, a little bit more compatible. Wow. Well, good. Like, I hope I actually never see you again. Oh.

Makes sense. So no second date. No. Well, I appreciate that sentiment, Alicia, and I wish you the best of luck, and you're a great girl, and I'm sure you'll find a place that you fit in. That did sound like a job interview letdown. Broken Jubal in the morning.
