If anybody's just tuning in and missed the show yesterday, it is the most crazy second date we've ever done. Do we call it a second date? I mean, I guess technically that's what she asked for. I don't know.

Brittany emailed us for a second date asking us basically to call a guy that she hooked up with three years ago, and they had a baby together. He didn't know about it because she left the state and was forced by her parents and stuff not to say anything. So now she's got a two-and-a-half-year-old baby girl, and the dude doesn't know. We called him yesterday to try to get him to go on a second date so that she could tell him in person. Which I applaud you for being brave enough to do that, Brittany. Thank you.

How did the date go, Brittany? Well, I mean, first of all, thank you so much for doing all of this. And I know it's kind of, I know Brooke was like, I didn't really want to. So I appreciate it. I wanted you to tell him. I just didn't want to do it on air. So I'm really proud of you. I really am.

I think that I could not put myself in your shoes. I don't know what you were feeling before you met Noah at a restaurant last night to drop the bomb on him. Yeah, I was pretty nervous and my stomach was doing somersaults. Like, how do you even pick an outfit out for that? Yeah. Seriously. What is the correct footwear for letting a dude know that he's got a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter? I wore a very, very sweet dress, actually.

Look innocent. Look innocent. How did you feel the moment you saw him? He walked in. You know, I hadn't seen him. I hadn't seen him for three years. Did he look happy to see you? He looked kind of nervous, too.

He had mood. At any point, are you thinking, I'm not going to do it. I'm going to back out? I think probably every other thought. Could you even hear a word he was saying while you guys were eating dinner? Or is that all you were thinking about? Like, when is the right moment to drop that bomb on him? I'd like, every time I look him in the eye, I had like two feelings. One was, oh, you know, I guess I don't know what I'm allowed to say on the radio,

but the word that starts with the S-H. Yeah. Or I was like, God, his eyes are so nice. You're like, I got to tell him that I have his baby. I got to tell him, but oh my God, he is dreamy. What was I talking about again? Well, there's a reason that I hooked up with him, you know? He's like really attractive.

Okay, so when did you do it? So I had like these pictures on my phone of our daughter. Oh my gosh. Ready to show him. But I just kept like, you know, it's just so, everything was just so awkward. So finally. That's when you take it out and show it to him and go, doesn't that nose look familiar? It looks like looking into a mirror.

I'm not like, you know, you guys would be able to do that. I'm not like clever like that. Like I couldn't even think. You went all dinner just sitting across from him without telling him? I couldn't get my, I couldn't get the courage up until we're walking and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna tell him. And then all of a sudden,

and, like, I turned towards him and he plants one on, he kissed me. Nice! He likes you again! That's great, right? Like, I got really nervous and I thought, oh my God, it's so weird. Like, it's almost like we just had a first kiss, but we have a baby together. Did you say that?

No. Oh, that would have been perfect. My heart just dropped. I thought that's what you said to him. I was like, wow. You know, when you're really attracted to someone, they kiss you, and it, like, makes you, like, immediately you feel stuff. You get, like, butterflies and this tingly feeling like immediately you feel ever like you feel stuff you like butterflies and you feel connected yeah and I guess like I laughed and then I like my face must have looked weird I don't know what he's like what's going on what's wrong and I had this weird response because I was actually like I

didn't know what to do and so he pulled away and I started crying that's That's the way to make yourself look perfectly sane. Anytime I've ever kissed a woman, she just starts crying automatically. So what did he do? Did he freak out at that point? Well, no. I mean, that's what made me really, I was just like, wow, this guy is, I'm glad my daughter has half his genes because he just looked at me and he was like, what's going on? What's wrong?

He just looks sweet. And I said, well, I have a past and I just feel really uncomfortable talking about it. I'm really nervous. That'll make him feel good. And he's like, I'm here to listen. Like you can tell me anything. Then I like looked at my phone and I had to go back. The babysitter was going to leave. You're telling me, Brittany. I couldn't like start the conversation then because I had to go back or the babysitter was going to leave. You were telling me, Brittany. So I couldn't like start the conversation then because I had to get back. I mean, it's like a three hour conversation. Brittany, you didn't tell him.

Well, so I didn't tell him, but then I got home and, you know, I put my daughter to sleep and stuff and, you know, and I was just thinking about Noah. And so I wrote him an email and I said everything on the email. You told him everything in an email. Sweet. That's one step down from text message. Good work. I was complimenting you on all of your courage.

What the hell? I feel like I couldn't bring him out again and then do it then. And what if I, you know, scare it again? So, like, I just was like, I got to do it. But I don't even know. I haven't gotten an email back. I don't even know if he's seen it. I don't, you know.

When did you send the email? Like, late last night. Like, around midnight. Okay. And you haven't heard from him yet? No. Oh, my gosh. This is made worse.

What did you just even say in the subject line? Oops, forgot to tell you something. All right, Brittany. Sit down, then open. Well, we're going to play a song. Come back. We'll get him on the phone, and then I guess ask him if he read your email. Oh, God.

Okay. Okay. Hold on. Wow. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Morning's Second Date Update. All right. The moment of truth is upon us. We just talked to Brittany a few minutes ago about her date last night with Noah.

Noah is, of course, the guy that hooked up with Brittany three years ago, ended up getting her pregnant that night. He has no idea that he has a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, which is owned by Brittany. Owned? No, that's not the verb you used, Trouble. You owned him until you were 18. So anyway, we were originally calling for a second date update. She wanted us to break the news to him live on the air. We said, how about we do a second date update,

see if you can go out with the guy and break the news in person. He agreed to a second date update, see if you can go out with the guy and break the news in person. He agreed to a second date. They went out last night, and she couldn't tell him on the date. Oh, my God. Brittany. She went home after he kissed her and sent him an email. Which we don't even know if he's received. No, because you haven't heard anything from him, right, Brittany?

Yeah. No, I haven't yet. But can I just say,oke like i get where you're coming from and like giving me a hard time and everything but this is just the hardest thing this is harder than labor how is this harder than being a single mother for two and a half years i mean you've done such a great job raising a kid and making it happen and you're finally coming around and you wanted to do the right thing yeah so thanks this would be incredibly hard it's gonna change it's gonna change his life no one is saying

it's easy all right Brittany we're gonna call him right now and I guess I'm just gonna ask him how the date went Brittany ready to call him I guess. Oh, Brittany. Hello? Noah. Hi. What up, man? It's Jubal. How are you?

Good. How are you doing? Good. Heard about your date last night. Oh, yeah? Yeah. That was good. A little bit of kiss and tell going on, huh? Oh, Noah. You weren't sure about going out with her of kiss and tell going on, huh? Oh, Noah.

You weren't sure about going out with her, but you went ahead and kissed her on the first date. Nice. Yeah, I mean, it is a fair-of-the-moment decision. Right, right. It's a good thing you were reading the signals correctly there. Yeah, I hope so. Noah, what did you think when she started crying? Did that weird you out?

No, I mean, at first I was just kind of confused. I mean, I guess because it's for like three years and all that, so I thought maybe it was just a lot of stuff. You sound like you're in a good mood this morning, like you enjoyed your date a lot. Yeah, it was a good night. Nice. I mean, it was one date, you know.

But yeah, I would definitely hang out with her. Like we said yesterday when we talked to you, it's one date, you know. But, yeah, yeah, I could, like, I would definitely, like, hang out with her. Like we said yesterday when we talked to you, it's one date. Yeah. You know, not like it's going to stick with you forever. Oh, my gosh, you cannot continue to do this. Like, we can't pay for it again, but would you go out on another date with her? Just hang out with her again? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, for sure. Did you get my email? Brittany's on the phone with us, of course. You know, we just want to talk to you about the date first. When Did you get my email? Brittany's on the phone with us, of course. We just want to talk to you about the date first. When did you send an email? Last night. No, I haven't looked at my email yet. I haven't even gone to work.

Is it important? Yeah, I think when she sent it, she may have checked the high-importancy little flag on it, the red thing. Brittany? Listen, I just, I just, I got to just do this. Okay. Are you okay? Yes and no.

Like something really amazing happened to me and you, but you're not aware of it. But it also might be kind of awful for you to hear about it. But, you know, obviously that we hooked up. I know you didn't really remember me that well, but we hooked up three years ago, right? You remember that now, I assume. And you have a daughter. Wait, what?

I got pregnant. I didn't realize. I was so busy, I kind of didn't realize it for a few months, and I'd already kind of not responded to your text. My parents are, like are super conservative and stuff, and they convinced me to go back to live with them and not to tell you since I hardly knew you. And I stupidly went along with what they were saying. And we have, like, an amazing daughter, and she's incredible,

and I don't want her to grow up without a dad. And you're really great. And, I mean, even if you hate me, I hope that you can be her dad at some point. Oh, Brittany. Brittany, I'm so proud of you. What? Is this like a really disgustingly sick prank or something? No, this is not a joke at all.

Brittany emailed us initially to do a second date update on you just to break the news that she has your two-and-a-half-year-old baby daughter. And we decided to try to just get you guys to go out so she could do it in person. She tried so hard, Noah. She couldn't do it last night, and she sent you an email. There's an email in your inbox with, like, all the information. If you want to do, like, a DNA test or whatever, I totally get get like, it will be yours because I wasn't with anyone else in that time period. But I understand if you want to do that, it will

definitely be yours. Uh, well, I don't, I mean, I don't, that's, uh, okay. What do you say? Yeah, I don't know what I would be thinking if I were in your shoes right now, Noah. Personally, I would be probably crying. I'm kind of, wow, I'm shaking. So, wait, so the kid's like here now? Yes, the daughter.

Okay. Oh, God, our daughter. And you emailed me? Okay. Well, I just, I couldn't get up the courage to tell you last night I had all of her pictures with me, and I was going to tell you on the beach, and then you kissed me. And then, like, I was, I mean, this sounds stupid right now, but, like, I actually really like you. And I just, I got totally confused and overwhelmed.

And then it was, like, I'm this, like, single girl who's got no responsibilities, but I have a beautiful daughter, and I'm a mom, and I don't, it's not even about, it's not about money. Like, I can totally, I can support her. I just want her to have a dad oh my gosh it's killing me no what do you what do you want to do now now that you've heard this news i guess i guess we should meet figure it out yeah no you're such a good person It's kind of important you should meet Yeah I'm like a little like shocked Noah how about this

I said earlier obviously we can't pay for you guys to hang out again But we'll pay for your dinner And we can even make it a place that's you know kid friendly So she can bring along A little one A whole family dinner huh I'll pay for it Another date for you guys

Obviously you have some things to discuss that are a little less than surface. Like, hey, what have you been up to lately? Type things. Yeah. Should I bring her? Or do you want to wait for the test? It doesn't take very long to do the test nowadays. You can just go to, like...

What if that's the first date? I'll pay for it. Oh, Jubal. Jubal. Okay. What? You guys will get together, obviously. Talk about what you got to talk about.

Take whatever test you got to take. And then we'll talk to you next week, if we can, and get an update on the whole situation. Is that okay with both of you guys? Yeah. It's okay with me. Noah? Yeah. Sure. Sure. Brooke with me. Noah? Yeah. Sure.

Sure. Broken Jubal in the morning. Well, we said we'd get an update from them in a week. And one week turned into three years. Oops. Sorry about that. Our bad. But we finally have them on the phone for a second date update update with Brittany and Noah.

Welcome back to the show, you guys. Hey, how are you? I'm good. Hey, thanks a lot for having us. How have you been? I'm freaking out that you're on the phone with us. How have you been? It's so weird to hear ourselves from three years ago.

I mean, it sounded like we were kids then, didn't it, Noah? Yes, I feel like a shocked, very surprised kid, maybe. Noah was a kid. He didn't know yet that he was a dad. That'll age you a lot in three years, I think. And Brittany, you were a kid that made me cry my eyes out. Me too. Oh, my God.

Really? Just even listening back, I cried again. Me too. What did your friends and family think when you guys did this? Oh, my God. Well, I don't know for Noah because we didn't know each other that well yet. But for me, it was intense because even like a daycare, people had heard it and they knew my name and they recognized my voice. So it was just a lot of attention.

I mean, some people were awesome and calling me and saying, do you need support? You're back in town. That's amazing. I'm so glad to know you're here. So what did you guys do? I mean, you guys met up. Did you meet your daughter, Noah, right away? Yeah, after the whole thing on the radio,

we got on the phone again and we talked. And then the next day we went and we got together and it was like a restaurant. And we met up, all three of us. And it was it was it was it was really, really like overwhelming, but also really awesome. Now that I think about it, because the minute I got to hold her and meet her, it was like the best thing ever. And she was so awesome. And like it was just like I didn't want to let her go. But then at the same time, I was like, who is this girl?

I'm holding this kid that I haven't known for about three years and it's mine. I'm so emotional. Just even that made me cry again, Noah. People have been asking us, like, what's the status with you guys? Yeah. Oh, well, the status is a little bit different now, three years later. But the first year it was co-parenting. And then there was some attraction going on. At least for me, Noah, there was attraction going on all the time.

But I sort of held back, and then Noah said, let's start dating. Oh, Noah! He didn't actually say, let's start dating. He just kissed me. I mean... That's bold. And that meant, let's start dating. I mean, I thought it was just a kiss, but then apparently Brittany was meant, let's start dating.

I mean, I thought it was just a kiss, but then apparently Brittany was like, so we're dating now. He's like, I just wanted to do what got us to this in the first place. I don't know. That's actually exactly what he did, and I am now pregnant. What? You guys are having another baby? Baby number two. Wow. You guys are potent together baby? Baby number two. Wow. You guys are potent together.

Yeah, you are. Geez. Oh, my God. You sound like such good parents. Congratulations. I guess there's another kid on the way. Yes. I'm actually really excited because I know about this one.

You can actually be there. Yeah, that's cool. And to prepare for it. And he knows about all the bad things because I'm 13 weeks in and it's been like 10 hours a day for me of nausea. And the whole time Noah's been like, man, this was so much easier the first time.

Are you guys planning on getting married or anything? Or are you just going to... We're just going to rush it all into one. Well, we're not rushing it, but we decided we are going to get married. What? Oh my gosh. Our daughter are going to get married. Nice. What?

Oh, my gosh. Our daughter is going to be the flower girl, so that's going to be adorable. Oh, my gosh. Okay, well, that's disappointing. What? Oh, my gosh. Well, I was hoping that I would be the flower girl, but whatever. That's fine, you guys.

I mean, we played a big role in this whole thing, you know? You did. And, you know, we're sorry we didn't contact you, like, immediately after that. You know, we talked to you a few years ago, but we just wanted private time. So we just, we wanted to figure this out on our own and not continually get people asking us what was going on, you know? No, that's fine. I have the biggest smile on my face right now for you, too. I feel like from the mess that started, you guys have really made such wonderful decisions

in your relationship. Oh my god, now I'm crying and it's probably because I'm pregnant. Oh my god. Good luck you two and keep us updated on the future because our audience is really interested in the whole thing. I can't tell you how often we get hounded asking for updates from you guys. Now you're going to be an old married couple, so nobody will care anymore. But congratulations.

Thank you. Bye. Bye, guys. Broken Jubal in the morning. Ugh, we're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes.

If you are out there and you're dreading the new statement email that reveals the massive balance that you may have racked up, well, you could use our help. That's right. I'm Joel. And I am Matt.
