had her date end in one of the most awkward ways possible. Her name is Meredith. Meredith, how are you? Hey, I'm doing okay. Good. Thank you for doing a second date update today. Appreciate it. Yeah, no, thanks for having me. You're welcome. We don't normally do this, but why don't we start this second date update with the end of your date? Let's start at the end. Because I was dying to hear what happened.

Why don't you tell everybody what happened? It ended with a hug. Right. That's not that bad. But that's not the worst part. Oh, that's not it? What happened before the hug? Okay, so keep in mind that we spent almost three hours together.

And he said it was nice meeting you, but the entire time of our date, you've actually been calling me Matt, but it's actually Mike. So you were calling him the wrong name the whole evening. But he didn't correct me.

I think that's on him. Yeah, I mean, how am I supposed to know? I heard it incorrectly, and he never once tried to correct me again, so I had no idea. He did correct you at the end, and what did you say after he said, Actually, is his name Matt or Mike? Now I'm confused. I was calling him Matt, but his name is actually Mike. Okay. And what did you say when he corrected you finally at the very end?

I was just so embarrassed. And I was just like, I am so sorry. I had no idea. So how did you meet this dude? We met at swing dancing class. Oh. Okay. Like previously or that night?

It was literally that day. Like we did the swing dancing class, and then he asked me to go to the bar right after. Oh, that's good, because I imagined you having classes with this guy for weeks and weeks and weeks. No, no, no, no. It was the first class. I'd only heard his name when he first introduced himself or the wrong name. Okay. That makes it a little more excusable than if it's the first night that you met him and you got his name wrong,

not if you guys had known each other for a while yeah right right right and i assume you thought that the drinks after dancing were going great yeah i was having a really good time and i thought he was too i was hoping that you know the night would just keep going on maybe we could do something after or you know get another drink or something but he ended up saying that he had to go because he had worked the next day. So I don't know. I guess, I don't know. I thought he was really enjoying himself. So I was a little bit disappointed. Other than the name stuff, what did you like about this guy? Why do you want to do a second date update? When I first met him, he just seemed really like goofy. And he said something really funny. When I first showed up to class, I looked around, and I was the only person who wasn't in a couple. I was the only single person.

I mean, I was pretty sure that there would be other people there, but it was just me and him. So they immediately matched us together. And he cracked a joke. Like, he made me feel less embarrassed. And he was just like, you know, maybe we should just get married and make this less awkward. Whoa. That's a cute joke. Yeah.

Yeah, he was really funny. You know, it made me feel a lot better about taking the class. And, you know, for a guy who has such a great sense of humor, it just seems really weird that would, like, be the reason that he hasn't texted me back anymore. Was there any other awkward moments that you can think of at all? There was one other slightly awkward moment, but again, it was closed with a laugh. Okay, what was it? Midway through or so, I was feeling this connection with him,

and I'd already had a drink, and I'm a lightweight. And I sort of blurted out, like, oh my god, you remind me of my dad. Oh! Nobody wants to get reminded of their dad. Oh, man. I feel like that's worse than calling him the wrong name.

I mean, could you imagine if he would've said, oh, you remind me of my mom. Oh, gross! No, I didn't mean it like that. I have said, oh, you remind me of my mom? Oh, gross. But, no, I didn't mean it like that. Like, I was like, no, not in that way. Like, you know what I mean? Like, my dad's really funny, and he cracks his jokes. He just reminded me of that, like, kind of goofball, the way that he cracks jokes.

So he had dad humor. That's always a compliment. But, you know, like, I love my dad's sense of humor, and it was just something that I thought I could connect to him with. Like, it's not what he thinks. But if it's a guy that you're romantically interested in, you might not want to draw that comparison. It's a good piece of advice.

All right, well, we'll play a song, come back, call your sort of dad guy named Mike or Matt or whatever, and get your second date update, okay? Okay. Moving 92.5. Sort of dad guy named Mike or Matt or whatever and get your second date update, okay? Hey. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Second date update. We're halfway through the second date update, and if you're just joining us, Meredith is on the phone, and Meredith wants to date her dad.

No. No. Oh, my God. Unfortunately, I think her dad's spoken for. So she wants us to call a guy named Mike today. The reason I say that is because during the date, Meredith laughed and said, you remind me of my dad. And there was an awkward moment then. And there was also a major awkward moment when at the end of the date, Mike said, hey, by the way, you've been calling me Matt all night.

And then they shared a hug and he walked out of her life forever. Okay, Meredith, we're about to call Mike and see why he's not calling you back, even though we think we might know the answer. I feel horrible that that happened, but we had such a good chemistry together. Yeah, but listening to that recap, don't you even feel like you totally ruined that date? Not totally. I mean, you know, under the circumstances, it wasn't the worst thing that could happen. Yeah. You just told him that you remind him of your dad.

That's all. I mean, you could have said it while you guys were naked in bed together, and that would have been worse. You're right. Oh, God. He knew it was a sense of humor. I explained, you know? All right, I'm going to dial his phone number right now, okay? Oh, God, I'm nervous.

Hello? Hi, I was looking for Mike. This is Mike. Hey, Mike, how are you? My name is Jubal, and I host a radio show called Brook and Jubal in the Morning. Wait, who are you? My name is Jubal, and I host a radio show called Brook and Jubal in the Morning. I'm calling you today because we actually got an email about you from one of our listeners.

Okay. Her name is Meredith. Oh, my God. And you met Meredith at a swing dancing class, and then you guys went out for drinks after. Yes, that happened. Okay, that is confirmed. Good. I'm glad we got that out of the way.

We're all on the same page. Well, Meredith is wondering why you're not giving her a call back after your date. Really? Yeah. So she asked us if we could get you on the phone and figure out if she did something wrong. All right. All right. Well.

All right. What? All right. You can tell us what happened or. Is this whole thing just a joke? No, it's not at all. It's a segment we do on our show called The Second Date Update. That's why I'm calling you today. Tell us what happened or... Is this whole thing just a joke? No, it's not at all. It's a segment we do on our show called The Second Date Update.

That's why I'm calling you today. I'm wondering if Meredith did something wrong on your date. I don't know. Not really. I just don't think we're a great match. Is it because she called you Matt instead of Mike the entire time? How do you know that? Oh, because we talked to Meredith about your date,

and she told us everything that happened. She also said that there was one awkward moment where she kind of compared you to her dad, and she thought maybe that was the reason that you didn't want to go out with her again. That's what I think. Yeah, that was definitely a little weird. Yeah. Well, I mean, a lot of people like their parents,

so that was probably... No, not like that. Well, I mean, just in general, that was maybe a compliment. Mike, you ever think about that? It's a weird thing to say. So was that it? Is it those two things then, calling you the wrong name and comparing you to the dad? Those are pretty big things.

It was that and something else. Well, what else was there? Even more? I don't know. She just, like, kind of ticked off a pet peeve. It's like, you know, it's more me than it is her. It's not her fault. She's a sweet girl.

That's, like, the worst breakup line ever, though. It's me. It's not you. What is it? She was doing this weird thing when we were at the bar, and maybe she was doing it all night, but I only noticed when we got at the bar and maybe she was doing it all night but i only noticed when we got to the bar but i was telling her a story and she goes oh my god are you smurfing serious are you are you

smurfing serious is what she said yeah like the cartoon show smurfing what yeah i guess so i was just like what do you mean she responded saying, your story is forking crazy. Forking? Oh, God. Yeah, she said forking. What? It was like every single time she went to swear, she just replaced it with a nonsense word.

I mean, you got to give her a break. Like maybe she was just trying to be ladylike or watch her manners on a first date. I guess, but this isn't like the 1950s, you know. It's okay to swear. Was it just that instance, or was it more than that? Yeah, like, you know, I'd be telling her a story, and then she'd just, like, cut me off and yell something like, holy hecklespecs. Ooh, wow. She said that?

Jeez. I don't know. I don't think we can air that on the radio. That's edgy stuff. Cheese and rice. Goodness gracious, Mike. Poor thing. I think she sounds kind of cute.

Hey, Mike, I do need to let you know that she's actually on the other line right now listening and wants to talk to you. Wait, are you serious? Yes, I am. Meredith, you there? Yeah. Hi, Mike. This is pretty weird.

Yeah. Wasn't expecting that to come out of your mouth. Expecting what to come out of my mouth? Holy hecklespeck.ck yeah you may have just pissed meredith off there oh i'm sorry for the word sorry about that meredith i mean did you want me to curse like a sailor the whole time i like i mean you don't necessarily have to swear but if you're gonna it, you should do it right. I know, but I don't like to curse. And you started doing it, and I kind of wanted to, you know, follow suit,

but I don't curse. And so, you know, I just do what my sister and I do at home. That's when we started, when we wanted to, like, say things, and, like, our parents were there, and we didn't want to be disrespectful. But it just kind of makes you sound really immature. Well, cussing makes one sound really unintelligent and uneducated. Uh-oh. Yeah, I guess, but it's just kind of hard to have a conversation when someone out of nowhere yells,

Son of a booger butt. Dude, that's creative. That's any better than son of the other B word? That's jarring to me. I mean, it's just, I thought you seemed like you had, like, you know, a fun sense of humor. So, like, we laugh about it all the time. Even our parents laugh about it because it's funny.

Like, we make stuff up. We're creative about it. And it's, oh, my God, this is something funny. Maybe your parents think it's funny, like honestly to me it was like having a drink with a kindergartner wow so it's like i like me i i know i remind you of your dad but like i'm not your dad maybe like your dad's funny but like i don't really i don't know like you can cuss you can cuss in front of mike if you want to meredith i think that's what he's saying but i don't i don't

want to cuss like i mean i know i have freedom of speech i can say whatever i want i just don't like saying it's not polite it's not ladylike and it was the first date so i'm not gonna you know bring it out and i think she she has a really good point, Mike. I mean, you can't get over some stupid phrases like holy ravioli or whatever she was saying. I mean, I cuss like a sailor, but, you know, to each their own. I mean, yeah, exactly. I do each their own, but I'm just not into it, I guess. You know, I kind of want to feel like I'm talking to an adult, um, you know, especially

if it's like someone that I'm gonna, you know, potentially be in a relationship with. Mike, maybe you want to reconsider. Maybe she can tone down the nonsense words or whatever, and you guys can go out again. Would you like to go out on a second date with her? We'll pay for it. I, I, maybe if, if she agrees not to, I can't believe I'm saying this, but if she agrees not to use that kind of language. I can't believe you're saying that.

Meredith, can you watch your mouth? Can you watch your mouth to go out with Mike one more time? I mean, yeah, I honestly don't really do it with other friends. It's just something that my sister and I did. And then like, I trauma with the dad. I think you should just own that you were the offensive one on this date for probably the first time in your life. I'm sorry, Mike, not Matt. Would you like to go on a second date with me if I told my language down?

Sure, let's give it another try. All right, nice. A successful second date update. Congratulations, you guys. Thanks. Thank you so much. You're welcome, you guys. Go out, have fun,

and then snarf all night long. Just snarf till your hearts are content. Broken Jubal in the morning. A text in at 78592 says, that second date was smurfing fantastic. Just snarf till your hearts are content. A text in at 78592 says, That second date was smurfing fantastic. Yeah, please, watch your language. Talking about today's second date update, of course, Meredith wanted to call this dude named Mike.

He wasn't calling her back after their date because she kept replacing curse words with nonsense words like forking or smurfing. Oh, man. And it drove him crazy. He said it seemed like it was really immature. And then Meredith argued that swearing makes you look really uneducated. And she didn't want to seem unladylike. In the end, Mike agreed to another date only if she promised to just speak normally.

And Meredith agreed. Please swear a little. Yeah, just a tad bit. So, successful second date update. They actually agreed to go out. 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.
