The guy on the phone for a second date update today thinks he's not getting a call back because of what he chose to eat for dinner. What? And let me tell you, when you guys hear what he ate for dinner, you're going to agree because it's crazy. What are you talking about? I can't believe that he would actually do this on a date.

It's nuts. Out of control, I think, actually. I think it's going to blow my mind here in a second. His name is Kyle. Kyle, how are you? I'm doing all right. I don't think what I ate on the date was that crazy. Hey, hey, hey.

Before we get into your crazy dinner choice, I first want to know how you met the girl that you went out with. So I met this girl named Lena at the local bar that I go to. And I was sitting down at the end of the bar and there was this table, there were like three girls there. And I was actually kind of trying to make eyes at one of Lena's friends. But as I walked over, Lena thought that I had been making eyes at her. And she was really cute. But when I walked up to the table, she looked at me and goes, go ahead, give me your cheesy pickup line.

Are you serious? I mean, were you excited about that, or were you, like, awkward? How do I let her know that I'm actually trying to hit on her friend? I actually really kind of liked that she just immediately kind of punched me in the nose. I like the kind of challenges. It doesn't just—that tells you there's something special about them. That should have been your cheesy pickup line. You should have been like, actually, I was wondering if your friend is single.

So you walked over there to talk to one of her friends, and she talked to you first, and then you were, I mean, I guess not stuck talking to her because you seemed like you like her enough to do a second date update, but you just had to switch your game up and start talking to her. I just had to switch it up just a little bit. And, you know, my pickup line was, huh? That was my response. Yeah, really smooth.

Did you guys end up going out or did you just hang out that night? We had one drink together and she was just really cool. I had to go, I was meeting my parents for dinner and so I gave her my number and she actually called me. Okay. Wow. I like this girl. She's really forward. Yeah. You know, she was really cool. And I mean, dinner was awesome. Like I picked her up for dinner, took her out, nice restaurant. I wanted to impress her. I really thought there could potentially be something there. Yeah, let's talk about the dinner for a second because your email said that you think the item that you chose to eat might be scaring her off.

And after reading your email, I've got to say I agree wholeheartedly, you madman. What did you order? This is killing me because I can't imagine ever not calling a guy over what he ate. I just ordered a salad. That's what I'm talking about. But wait, like a dinner salad or like a side salad or like a meal salad? It doesn't matter. There's a big difference. It doesn't

really matter. The point is, Kyle, why do you think ordering a salad is not getting you a callback? Well, I mean, some girls that I've been on dates with have seemed offended that at dinner I only ordered like a small salad. Really? I mean, I tell them they can eat whatever they want, but I'm only going to order a small salad.

And sometimes in the past, girls have seemed offended by it. I could see, you know, I could honestly see, I would feel like you were judging me for what I was eating, especially if you added the line, you can eat whatever you want. But I am diet conscious. I am going to order a salad. I could see that. I mean, it sounds kind of pretentious almost. But like, I really don't care what they eat.

I just, I try to treat my body well. And so, I mean, that's. Okay, see now you are sounding pretentious. Yeah, you can go ahead and order some sort of fried something. I don't put anything like that in my body. Is that the way you posed it to her? No, that's not the way that I mean, like when I when I told her she seemed surprised but not put out. So I can't imagine that that's the way it came out of my mouth.

But I mean, if this honestly has been a problem for you in the past, can't you just make an exception for one date night to maybe get, oh, crazy chicken or something? No, like I only eat salads for dinner. That is all that I eat. Why? My body is a temple. I work incredibly hard to make sure that I stay in good shape. I feed myself well. I take vitamins. I exercise. I want to make sure that my body is in the best possible shape. Hearing you say this, did you harp on that the whole time? No. I mean, like we talked about her dog. We talked about my family. I mean, we had, you know, we had it.

She seemed a little surprised, not put out, like I said. And then from there, conversation went very well. Can I ask? I think it's important to know, what did she order for dinner if you only had a little tiny salad? She ordered a steak. Okay. So maybe she wasn't put out by it maybe she didn't care what you ate at all when the steak came out like i even like to reinforce that it was an okay decision i said good for you that's i really didn't care what she ordered i told her like that steak looks really hearty hey that's a hefty meal you got there lady good work that's like when my dad growing up would tell me I'm good German working stock and I was built to carry heavy things.

You know, they're just not things that you want to hear. So how did she react after you told her that her meal was hearty? She dug in immediately and cleaned her plate. Okay, so it doesn't seem like the food thing bothered her that much, but that's... Either that or she was doing it out of spite. Guys, I don't think it was contentious like you're kind of making it out to be. I mean, she got to eat what she wanted. I got to eat what I wanted.

Okay. And, yeah. Did you guys kiss at the end of the night? So, at the end of the night, drove her home and I'd been working up the courage all night to kiss her and she looked at me. We made eye contact and I leaned in to kiss her and she turned her head and gave me a hug,

and I ended up almost kissing her ear. Oh, no. I think it was just a miscommunication. I mean, it was a little awkward, but, I mean, it was the first date. I understand. I did think that I would get a kiss. It had gone well. But I called her.

I sent her a text, and I was looking at you guys for some help. Well, we'll play a song, come back, call her, and get your second date update, okay? If you're just tuning in for today's second date update, I'll do something I don't normally do at the beginning of these. I'll go ahead and act out the first date that this guy went on. Yeah, Kyle is on the phone with us, and he wants us to call a girl named Lena today. I'll go ahead and act out the first date that this guy went on. Yeah. Kyle is on the phone with us, and he wants us to call a girl named Lena today.

I'll go ahead and act out their first date. They were sitting there at the table, and here's what happened. The waiter came up and asked what they would have to eat, and Kyle said, I'll just have a little salad. Can I have a tiny little salad and maybe just some locale dressing on the side?

I might just dip my fork in it so there's a little bit of dressing on just each bite. But I'm not going to have too much dressing. And my sweet love, Lena, over there, what would you like? And Lena was like, I'll have a steak. I want a big steak. And make it as rare as possible, please. I want to hear that thing moo on my plate because I like steak.

Kyle, would you say that's a good representation of your date? It's a funny representation. I'm surprised you didn't say uncanny. Kyle is on the phone. He wants to call Lena. He thinks the reason she's not calling him back is because he only had a salad on their date and she ate a steak. And at one point he said to her, hey, don't worry about eating that steak. That's a hearty little meal you got there.

That's so bad. Which could be taken the wrong way. But he said the date was good. It ended with an awkward moment where he tried to give her a kiss and she gave him a hug. And she hasn't talked to him ever since. Kyle, we're about to call her. Any last words? I would just like the chance to explain and see if she'd be willing to go out on another date.

Maybe I could take her out. I mean, I could have tea. She could have coffee or whatever she wants. I'll have a coffee and a steak. I'm a hard-eating lady. I feel like you should just skip any food dates from now on. Like, go for a hike or something. I hope when she picks up, that's literally what she sounds like.

Hello? That's just Luna. All right. I'm going to dial her phone over right now. Here we go, Kyle. You guys are really funny. Yeah.

All right. Here we go, man. Hello? Hi. I was trying to get a hold of Lena. Yeah, this is she. Hey, Lena, how are you? My name is Jubal, and I host a radio show called Brook and Jubal in the Morning. Okay. Why are you calling me?

Well, I'm calling you because you recently went out on a date with one of our listeners, and he actually emailed us to see if we could get you on the phone. Wait, you're a radio station? Yes. You work for a radio station? No, I am the radio station. You are the radio station? Yes.

Are you serious? Yeah, I am. We do a segment on our show. It's called The Second Date Update. Kyle told us that he went on a date with you and he would love to see you again except you're not answering any of his phone calls or text messages. Okay. So he asked us if we could get you on the phone

and find out if something went wrong. It's like a real thing. Like, people call in. Yeah. It sounds dumb. It's very real. It happens all the time. This is really a radio station.

This is, like, a real thing. I promise. I'm just calling on behalf of Kyle. He wants to know what happened. He's nice. What a rave review. Sounds like you're dodging the question quite a bit there. I

don't know what you want me to say. I don't know. What did he tell you? He told us that he met you at a bar and you guys went out for dinner. He said that he thinks you're not calling him back because he only ate a salad on your date. I thought that was stupid, but... Oh, that's really endearing, actually. Was he condescending to you about, like, you eating your steak, your hearty choice?

He told you I ordered a steak? Yeah. Yeah, he did. This is really detailed. This is kind of intimate. Were you about like you eating your steak your hearty choice he told you i ordered a steak yeah yeah he did really detailed this is kind of intimate were you guys like well we talked to him we talked to him for a while and he said he thinks the reason you're not calling him back is because he ordered a salad and you ate a steak and you might have thought that that was kind of weird and judgy of him i had high hopes for this one know, we met at a bar and he was a perfect gentleman and seemed really sweet and we got along great. He seemed totally normal.

Seemed, which means he wasn't totally normal. Yeah, it's always the ones that seem normal that are the weirdos. So what did he do that was so weird? He just did something like throughout the whole night do that was so weird? He just did something throughout the whole night, actually, that just totally grossed me out, to be honest.

He did something that was nasty? Yeah, it was nasty, beyond gross. It totally disgusted me. What was he doing? This happened like three or four times, but throughout dinner, the whole evening, he would just casually, excuse me until I think about it, but throughout dinner the whole evening he would just casually

Excuse me, tell me about he would just like casually take out his car keys and Dig around in his ear and pull out like a wad of earwax Three or four times, I'm just sitting across from him, like. Oh, my God. He didn't even flinch. Like, not even, like, bat at an eye. But that was unusual. It was so weird. Was he just talking to you the whole time while he's cleaning out his ears? Yeah.

Like, just, like, continuing conversation. Like, nothing was wrong or weird or strange about the fact that he was, around in his ear for some magical nug of earwax. How did you not say anything to him? I mean, I could see maybe one or two times, and you're shocked, but by the third time? That is so gross. I think I was just dumbfounded, and the kicker, the whole thing, the last time he did it, he actually sniffed the key before he put it back in his pocket.

Oh, man. That was it for me. That was the end. How'd you even finish your meal? I would have been grossed out and not have been able to eat anything. I think I just kept licking at the ground and at the table, just hoping that it would go away. But when I looked up, he was still doing it. He was still sticking around in there.

Oh, my God. Is that why you totally dodged his kiss at the end? Oh, he told you that, too? Oh, my God. Yeah, he did. Jeez, man. Do we have any privacy? Yeah, I mean, at that point, I was like,

all right, let's just get through this. I'm like, I like my thought. I just kept thinking, like, if that's what you do on a date during dinner, like, what else do you do on a date during dinner like what else you do in Private really will you do in general like I don't know it like my mind is kind of kept revolving around like other gross Things That is disgusting. I'm sorry you had to see that Hey Lena, I'm not actually sure if he can hear cuz it sounds like he's got a lot of wax in his ears

But Kyle is actually on the other line listening to this conversation. What? Yeah. So, wait, let me get this straight. Your complaint, your big problem with the date is that I was cleaning wax out of my ears? Oh, it's so gross. It's not that you were just cleaning earwax out of your ear. It's that you were doing it with a key at the dinner table while we

were having dinner like repeatedly i first off i didn't realize that i was doing it but there's nothing disgusting about freeing your body of toxins there's nothing weird about making sure that you don't have wax build up in your ears i'm always dealing with that i'm always working to get the toxins out of my body i'm trying to keep myself healthy and ear waxes is unhealthy for you. It's a toxin. And you know, I mean, like normally I try to, you know, get my ears rinsed out on a regular basis, but that day I was busy. I was running late and I didn't realize it was that noticeable. I, I, I like, I don't even, I don't know what to say. It was so gross, and it was so noticeable. Like, I'm surprised that I made it to dinner.

It's a bad habit, but I'm sure you have bad habits, and I don't judge you because you ate with your mouth open. Excuse me? I was not eating with my mouth open. I wasn't raised in a barn like you that, you know, believes that you can just pick your earwax out of the dinner table. Like, that is so different from you, like, scraping stuff out of your body and putting it on display at dinner that is disgusting look i'm taking toxins out of my body i had to sit there at dinner

and watch you fill your body full of poison you know how long a steak stays in your intestinal tract it does stay for a long time oh my my gosh. Kyle, there's a big difference between pulling out your keys and rooting around in your ear, and then also she said you were smelling it. You don't remember doing that, or do you remember doing that? I don't remember doing that.

Sometimes I do smell the wax to make sure it just smells healthy and not incredibly toxic. It smells healthy. It smells like wax. Kyle, what are you talking about? Are you just, like, really embarrassed right now, and this is some weird defense thing that you're doing?

No, I'm not embarrassed by it. Okay, I didn't realize I was doing it there at the table, but it's something. I'm incredibly health conscious. It's something that I do. I have bad habits. You have bad habits. We all have bad habits.

At least she's finding out on the first date. Yeah. I don't know what kind of other bad habits you have, but that is a total reason to not go on a second date with someone. Like, that is the epitome of why I would not go on a date with someone. As best as you think it's, like, a healthy choice, like, that is, that's kind of horrifying. Like, what else do you do?

Do you, like, pick your nose to clear your toxins out? No, that too. Or, like, taste that? No. Obviously, you don't take care of yourself. Don't take care of yourself. Really? I don't take care of myself? You're waxed out as taking care of yourself and eating a salad every whatever?

I keep my body clean. I keep my body free of toxins, and I will not apologize for that. Man, you're going to keep your life free of women after this. That's a good point. I think this is a good time to ask, Lena. Would you like to go out with Kyle again on a second date? It sounds like you two have hit it off and have some common ground here. Oh, yeah.

Oh, sure. Yeah, hell no. If you guys go out on a second date, I will go with you and I will clean his ear out the whole time so he doesn't have to do it. I don't know if I can watch that. You couldn't pay me to go on a second date with her at this point oh wow man all right well kyle at least you know why she wasn't calling you back now yeah thank you guys so much for saving me from this nightmare i'm thrilled that i won't be going on a second date with lena yeah there's a lot of

other ladies out there who love earwax dude don't worry about it. Broken Jubal in the morning. We're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble.
