Listen to Better Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts from. The dude named John is on the phone for a second date update today. He told us a little bit about his date in his email, but the thing that I really focused on was his opening line. It said, I was hoping things would get wild, but that didn't happen. So, need to get more information on that, John.

How wild were you hoping things would get? I don't know, nothing crazy. I met this girl Danielle through some friends who, you know, the only thing they said was that she was kind of wild and I was kind of looking to get a little wild. Just the way you phrased it was just kind of creepy to me. Yeah, like, well, you know what didn't happen. We didn't get wild and that was a bummer it does sound like you drive around like a mazda miata and have satin sheets at home i don't know it

wasn't a sexual thing necessarily i just i don't know i was looking for a good night you know okay crazy time so her friend said she went wild but she ended up not being wild? Not that wild, no. Tell us about the date. I don't know, it was just pretty standard. We talked for a few weeks just online and we had busy schedules, so we ended up just after a few weeks of talking, meeting up at a bar, you know, casual and had a few drinks, had pretty normal kind of first date conversations. You sound really disappointed when you're describing this date. A date finally went normal? I don't know why you want to call her back.

Well, I don't know. I think I kind of screwed it up. She was super cute. I did like her. But yeah, the date just didn't really go the way I thought it was going to go. Okay. So what happened? What went wrong? Well, a couple things so

after we were just talking about you know kind of normal first date kind of stuff at one point I kind of leaned over and sort of whispered to her like hey so I you know what your friends say about you and she sort of looked at me like kind of weird I would immediately be pissed like it doesn't matter what comes out of your mouth after that Not only mad at you, but I'm also mad at my friends Well, yeah, she's like wait. What do my friends say about me? And I was like well, you know, they say you're pretty wild And she didn't like that

And you're whispering? Yeah. I think she took it to be sort of like a sexual thing, and it was not my intention at all. Are you telling the truth? Because you're whispering. I heard you're pretty wild. And you're saying that you're intent. What was your intention?

I just thought it was going to move the conversation forward or maybe inspire her to do something crazy, like, I don't't know shotgun a beer or something tell me about some crazy trips you went on to africa like it's a little bit of information i had yeah so you came out wrong what you were trying to say like your friend said you like to party or something but you decided to phrase it in a really awkward way. Wild was maybe not the best word choice. Okay. And so did things just go downhill after that?

Yeah. Yeah. How quickly before the date ended? So I kind of bounced back from the wild comment a little bit. We just kept on talking about our careers. And she's got a dog. She talked about her dog. And then just like on a sitcom you know we were eating these like mozzarella sticks and there was one left and we both sort of

like went for it at the same time and she was like you have it and i was like no you have it and it basically led to me sort of awkwardly picking up the cheese stick and like trying to feed it to her that's bad too. You're trying, but not doing well. I heard your friends say you like to get wild. Here, let me shove a cheese stick down your throat. See how you handle that. And it gets so much worse, guys, because what ended up happening,

she ends up choking and gagging on this fried cheese stick. What, didn't you just shove it down her throat? No, I just was trying to feed it to her. It was bad. It was all bad. So it was bad all around. You pretty much made yourself look like a weird a-hole.

She had a hot, chewy cheese stick in her mouth. He really loves mozzarella sticks. I don't know. I heard she was wild. I was just trying to be spontaneous. I don't know. That is the wrong way to be spontaneous. It's was wild. I was just trying to be spontaneous. I don't know. That is the wrong way to be spontaneous. Not wild. Maybe go to another bar, go dancing, or have some shots.

Like, take the lead there. Quick surprise cheese stick. I know, I know. That's why I want a second date. I mean, she's super cute, and other than when I was being super weird, we did have good conversations. All right, well, we'll play a song, and then come back and call her

and see if she's recovered from the cheese stick and maybe get you a second date, okay? Okay, thanks, guys. All right, hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Second date update. Right in the middle of a second date update,

and if you're just joining us, John is on the phone, and John, which you'd probably describe as a very romantic guy. If you go on a date with him, he'll whisper sweet nothings into your ear. Things like, hey, heard you were wild. And then, if you're lucky, maybe he'll shove a cheese stick down your throat until you gag. And if that sounds like I'm joking, I'm not. That's what actually happened on John's date.

He went out with a girl named Danielle. Apparently her friends told him that she was wild, so he decided to drop that line. Hey, heard you're wild. And then they were eating cheese sticks, and somehow it got to the point where he shoved a cheese stick down her throat, and she gagged and had to go to the bathroom. He pretty much knows he screwed the whole thing up, and he was very awkward about the whole wild situation. So John, we're going to give her

a call and see if we can save you. Any last thoughts? Do what you can. And you seem so normal when we talk to you on the phone, like who you are with us seems very different than who you were on that date. I don't know. Maybe I was just nervous. They said she was wild. I was just trying to impress her. Trying to let your wild side show a little bit. Yeah.

All right. Well, I'm going to dial her right now and see if we can figure out if that is the whole reason your date went bad, okay? Okay. All right. Here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Danielle, please? This is her. May I ask who's calling? Yeah, how you doing, Danielle?

This is Jubal from the radio show Brook and Jubal in the Morning. Um, okay, from where? Brook and Jubal in the Morning. It's a radio show. Okay. Um, how can I help you? Well, that's a good question. Well, 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 end up not calling them back after they can email us to get you on the phone and find out what happened and we got an email about you from a dude named john okay yeah so so john emailed us because he told us a little bit about your date and also said that you aren't calling him back or responding to any of his text messages. He's wondering why. I'm not sure why he's wondering why.

Is it obvious? Yeah, I mean, he told us about it, and he said that he did some things on the date that he thinks might have ruined it, but I want to hear it from your side first. Like, describe the date with John. Sure, like, it was fun at first, but he's just, like, way too extreme for me.

What do you mean by that? Um, at one point, he, like, leaned over and, like, whispered in my ear that, like, I was wild. It was weird. He told us that, too.

I can't believe you didn't walk out right there. Honestly, I just kind of wanted to see where it was going to go, because I figured my friends wouldn't put me in, like, danger. But then the day continued, and I realized. Yeah. No, really. We sit at the table. Before a real conversation even starts, our drinks are brought to us.

He shotgunned a red bull shotgun a red bull yeah just a red bull a nice mellow date you're on yeah i just like didn't understand and then he was like whoa and started playing the knife game you know like where you take a knife and spread your fingers on a table and like try not to hit your fingers. And he wanted me to join. Wait, did you say he wanted you to play the knife game too? He also wanted me to play the knife game, like a fun competition date thing. It was weird.

It's like you're on a date with some cracked out frat boy is what it sounds like. Yeah, and like every time I said no to doing these ridiculous things, he made me sound like I wasn't fun. And then like conversation would be going fine and he would just be like, yeah,

you want to get wild? It was just too much. I would assume he's on drugs. Like if I was out with him, I'm like, this guy is on something. Maybe like he forgot to take his drug. Okay. Maybe he needed meds. Good point.

Very good point. In his defense, when he was talking to us, he said that your friends told him that you like to get wild. I don't think that's really an excuse. It's kind of odd, his behavior. I dance on like a bar every now and then. I've gone skydiving once, but I'm not going to play with a knife. Yeah. And then the worst part is at the end of the night,

he thought it'd be cute to shove a cheese stick down my face. I started gagging. It was awful. He mentioned that too. So you're not into having somebody gag you with cheese sticks on a first date? You know, not really my thing. Okay, yeah. You're one of the rare breed then because that seems like a pretty normal thing to me, you know?

That's not even the wild part. I mean, was there anything good about this date at all, Danielle? Because it sounds horrible. Honestly, it's just a funny story that I'll laugh about later. Not yet. You just need a little more time. Still working on it. A little more space.

Not to bring up old wounds, but guess what, Danielle? John is actually on the phone and wants to talk to you. No, no, he's not. Yes, he is. You know, he's a wild man. You never know what to expect from him.

No. Unless he hung up, he's still on the phone. John, are you there? Yeah. Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? John. Danielle, look, I got to be honest with you. The only reason I did any of those things was because your friends told me you were crazy.

Like, you get wild. No, but see, like, I'm not stupid. Like, I get wild. No, but see, like, I'm not stupid. Like, I do fun things. That was just weird. I don't know what I was thinking. Like, the knife thing, like, terrified me. I practiced that at home in my apartment with a straw for, like, three hours. Wait, hold on.

You were practicing the knife thing in preparation for your date or just in general you were practicing? In preparation for the date. So, wait you were practicing? In preparation for the date. So wait, it was a planned event on the date? You trying to stab yourself? It seemed like a good idea at the time. I don't know. I'm an idiot. I don't know what I was thinking.

Like it wasn't fun or exciting. It was actually scary and terrifying. I was concerned and so were all the people sitting around us. I mean, I practiced a lot. I had it super dialed, but I understand. It didn't look like it. I'm not going to lie. The point is, I just was like that because I heard you were. I thought I would impress you. I mean, elevators scare me. Don't get me started on planes. I don't even like to go over the speed limit. I don't like big dogs.

Even medium ones kind of scare me. Okay. Whoa. Wow, you're saying a lot. John, why weren't you just yourself on the date? I'm sure that that would have worked a lot better. Because her friends told me she was wild, and if you think that this girl's going to be super wild,

you've got to step it up. Otherwise, she might get bored. I don't know. That's just how guys think. Okay, so, like, none of that was really you. So I didn't get to see, like, you at all on the date. No, not really. You got to see his wild side. Pretty crazy, huh? Danielle, look, I promise I'm a totally normal, boring, everyday guy.

I like playing Settlers of Catan and Netflixing all day. And, yeah. What's Settlers of Catan? It's a really awesome game. You play it with your friends. And, yeah, I think you would really, really like it. You develop little colonies. And it's great.

Yeah, we should do that. Did you say ew, Danielle? Or oh? Yeah. Oh. I definitely said ew. You're not into Settlers of Catan either, huh? That doesn't sound like too much fun.

Danielle, the point is I promise I'm not the crazy person that I acted like on the date. I'm totally normal, and I really like you, and we never have to play Settlers of Catan together. Maybe that's just my thing. That's totally cool, but I would love to go on a second date with you. What do you think, Danielle? Would you go on a second date with John? We'll pay for it. I mean, can we go somewhere that doesn't have knives? Absolutely.

Sushi, chopsticks. That's a good idea. So now there are no knives involved, no weird board games, and no cheese sticks for sure. Thank God. Don't shove a sushi roll down her throat. If she says yes, John,

will you do it? Danielle? Give John like the real John another shot. I mean, why not? It couldn't be any worse than the wild. I feel like those are famous. All right.

Well, congratulations, John. You got a second date. Thank you so much. You guys, Danielle, you won't regret it.

I promise. Don't make promises. You can't won't regret it, I promise. The link promises you can't keep. Broken Jubal in the morning. We're so done with new year, new you.
