Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.

Moving 92.5. Brook and Jubal's Second Date Update. Remember, if you want a second date update, all you have to do is email us, brookandjubal at moving925.com. We will call the person that didn't call you back. And out of all the emails we get, some of them can't figure out why a person didn't call them back. Others know that the date didn't go so well. Kind of like Eric, who's on the phone with us right now.

What's up, Eric? How are you? Pretty good. How are you guys? You had a bad day, Eric. I did. What happened? So I met this great girl at a bar.

Her name was Alana. And we talked for just a short period of time, but it seemed like there was a pretty good spark there. Okay. And we set up a coffee date a couple days later. Your email said that you can tell at the end of the coffee date that things weren't cool. What happened? To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure.

I mean, it lasted about a half hour. That's it. And I'd say like halfway through she just started behaving strangely or just seemed distant. What do you mean? Like she got up and sat at another table or she wouldn't make eye contact with you or she wasn't laughing at your lame jokes? Yeah, sort of more like the eye contact thing. She started giving short answers to my questions.

It just seemed like she totally lost interest. My favorite part of his email is, tell everybody else, because I've read your email, tell everybody else how the date ended when she left. It didn't end with a hug or a kiss. It ended with a fist bump. A fist bump? Yeah, you just got friend-zoned pretty quickly. Big time. What did you say right before she turned into the fist bump. Yeah, you just got friend-zoned pretty quickly. Big time.

What did you say right before she turned into the fist bump girl? I don't know. What did you do? I really don't. I'm at a loss here. That's why I'm contacting you guys. Did she get any type of message on her phone or a phone call during your coffee date that might have upset her? That would upset her so much to make her give me a fist bump.

I don't know. I'm really at a loss here. Did you try to go in for a hug? Like, how'd that work? I guess I made, like, you know, I went in, like, 30% for a hug and then had a fist. Put her here, buddy. I'll see you later. Take care.

Let me get this straight. After a fist bump, which is an obvious sign that the girl doesn't want to go out with you again, you still called her? I did, you know, partly to see what was up, but also because I thought that there was something kind of there, you know? Okay. Let me ask you this.

Do you want a second date with her, or do you just want to know what happened? At this point, I'd really just like to know what happened, but, you know, I certainly would have been interested in a second date. Okay. You did some serious damage in 15 minutes for the conversation to turn, and then 15 minutes later, end in a fist bump. I guess so.

I don't know what I could have done. Well, I'm excited to find out. Yeah, me too. All right, hold on, okay? We're going to play a song. Come right back. Call her and get your second date update, all right? Okay. All right, hold on okay we're going to play a song Come right back call her and get your second date update Alright Alright hold on If you're just joining us for the second part of the

Second date update we've got Eric on the phone Eric met up with a girl named Alana for coffee after he met her at a bar Coffee seemed to go okay for about 15-20 minutes and then she got very cold And then at the end of the date There was was no hug, there was no kiss, there was a fist bump. Goodbye. So Eric knows you kind of screwed up, right Eric? I don't know. Maybe I did, but I just kind of hope that this is just a big misunderstanding.

What are you going to say to her? I mean, do you have something in your head already planned out? I just really can't wait to clear this up. I don't have anything planned. I want to hear what she has to say about it. You're such a dude. A girl would be like, oh my god, I'm going to say this and then this and then this. I'm going to call her right now, get her on the phone and see if we can get an answer, okay?

Okay. Alright, hold on. Hello? Hi, is Alana there? This is she. Hey, Alana, how are you? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning on Movie 92.5. Hi. Any idea why we'd be calling you?

No. Can't think of anything? No. You enter any of anything? No. You enter any contests? No. Okay, doesn't surprise me because that's not why we're calling. Have I won something, though? No, you haven't. God, you set her up for such disappointment.

You just love it. Alana, we do a segment on our show called The Second Date Update. Basically, if you go out on a date with somebody and then don't call them back, they email us to find out why. So we're calling you about a guy that you went on a date with somebody and then don't call them back, they email us to find out why. So we're calling you about a guy that you went on a date with. Okay. And you haven't called him back. Do you have any clue who would email us to call you to find out why?

I mean, I can't imagine anyone calling a radio station and doing this. Good point, Alana. I mean, I know the person that I went on my most recent date with. Who would that be? Is his name Eric? That would be him. Congratulations.

Eric wants to know what happened. He said you guys went out to coffee and everything seemed cool for about 15 minutes and then you got cold and kind of distant. And the icing on the cake for me is at the end of the date,

you gave him a fist bump instead of like a hug or anything. Which is amazing. Which in girl world is kind of like F you. Yeah. Yeah. What did he do? You know, it just would not have worked out between us. And that was very apparent to me.

And I can't hide. My face shows everything I'm feeling. I'm not good at hiding how I'm feeling. So I just had to get out of there. And yeah, I did the fist bump because it's like, I'm not going to hug him. I mean, I totally support that. Like if you're not into the dude, like don't lead a mom by any means. But how did you know that it just wasn't going to work? When I saw him at the bar, he was super cute and super funny, and that's why, obviously, I went out on another date with him. Okay.

And then he shows up to the coffee shop wearing a leather jacket. All right. And the fact that I was sitting across from someone who consciously chose to wear a leather jacket is completely against everything I believe in. Are you serious here, Alana? Alana should probably tell you that Eric's on the phone with us right now. Just heard that. What?

Why? You left our gate because I was wearing a leather jacket? Yes. Sitting across from you wearing that thing was like watching a cow being murdered

in front of people. Oh, wow. If that's why. Oh, my God. If that's why. I am a member of PETA. I take it very seriously. It's something

that's very important to me. I didn't know that about you. But clearly, you're a person who uses to wear leather. You're a person who uses to wear leather. You're a person

who uses to wear leather. You're a person who uses to wear leather. You're a person who uses to wear leather. You're a person who uses to wear leather. You're a person

who uses to wear leather. You're a person who uses to wear leather. You're a person who uses to wear leather the jacket in a gesture of romance. Who knows? But you blew me off like that? That's crazy. Alana, I will tell you this, and I know you're upset, but all of the DJs here at Moving 925 are free range. For real, Alana, can I ask you something real quick? How do you have friends or coworkers when-workers when the only people you'll

associate with are people with your exact same ideals? It's not the only people I associate with, but I'm not going to date someone who doesn't have my ideals. I'm sorry. I don't want to live with someone who brings animal flesh into our house eventually. That's not my idea of a partnership. I mean, it's the same thing. I mean, Who of you has a dog or a cat as a pet? I have a dog. Eric, do you have an animal as a pet? I have a dog, yes. I'm a dog man.

Well, why don't you go and slaughter your dog and sew his little hide with a bunch of other dog hides and wear them? You don't do the same exact thing. That is a way more violent imagination than I have. See, now you're just in denial. How do you think that jacket was made? I'm in denial, but you're violent. You're talking about murdering dogs right now.

That's not the way that I talk. It's violent to wear cow flesh. All right, hey, you guys. You're actually talking about killing my dog. You guys. How is it different? Alana, why didn't you say anything to him there we just like maybe hey instead of just honestly it's like pointless to even talk about it i'm not going to convert him so why am i going

to waste my time i just think that that's completely inhumane and for someone who has a great respect for animals you seem to have very little respect for humanity to not even give someone a chance to say, oh, it's almost like racist or something. Like you're not someone of a different race. It's almost racist? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. Alana, Alana. It's not like I'm showing up to your house

and like picketing your existence. I just don't want to go out on a date with you. You're going to start picketing his house now though, aren't you? After this. He's the one who's stalking me on the radio. Wow. I can see that you guys, I can see there's a lot of passion here.

So that's why it's time for me to ask if you guys would like to go out on a second date. I'd love to send you two out again. The station will pay for you to go out if you go on a second date. Alana, are you interested in going out with Eric again? Oh, man. Eric, do you want to go out if you go on a second date. Alana, are you interested in going out with Eric again? Oh, man. Eric, do you want to go out with me again? What? I would like to see what this girl can do in the bedroom.

What? Shop, you guys are really going to go out again? You are disgusting. I'm not going out with you. I just wanted to see. You just set him up. You set him up. That was good.

Alana, maybe you shouldn't say yes to random people you meet in the bar, and you should reserve dating for people in PETA. You know what? It's pointless. You're Philistines. You all are Philistines. Alana, you can call me whatever you want. I like you a lot.

I think we should hang out. Thank you. You're welcome. I had a really big plan for a steakhouse dinner with us. That's hysterical. That's so funny. Maybe I will come by and pay a visit to your dog. Oh!

Alana! Alana, Alana. Thank you for your time. I appreciate you doing the Second Aid Update, okay? Thank you for doing it with us. Thank you. Thank you very much. Hey, Eric.

Yeah. Congratulations. You got a PETA person to threaten your dog. Very good. Good work. I call that a win. Yeah, so do I. Successful second date in my book.
