Brooke and Jubal's Second Date Update.
I don't know if anybody's ever had this experience before,
but you go out on a date and you think you had a great time.
And then you hang out with your friends later and tell them all about it.
And they go, uh, she's not going to call you back.
Whoa, what?
Because they think that you did something wrong.
Well, apparently that happened to Trevor, who's on the phone right now to do a second date update.
His friends informed him that he might have screwed up on his date.
And he didn't realize it until he was talking to them.
What's up, Trevor? How are you?
Hey, doing well. How are you guys?
Not too bad. Probably better than you.
Maybe. We'll figure that out.
Okay. Well, you know, it's a good start.
Your friends think you're a dumbass, and you've got a girl that's not calling you back.
That's one way to put it.
Uh-huh.
Why don't you tell us what happened?
I went to dinner with this girl, Carla,
and as far as I could tell everything was going really well
No awkward pause
No weird story or some weird moment of like, oh, what do I talk about next? Yeah, I'm just like, okay
This is easy. This is simple. I feel like we're just talking away. No big problem easy and simple
That's what I've always looked for in dates
Isn't that what you are in a date?
Pretty much, yeah.
So everything felt good with her, but your email said after you talked to your friends,
now you're feeling different.
Yeah, because I was talking to one of my best friends about it later,
and the only thing that came up was at one point,
we were showing each other pictures and talking about hobbies,
and she showed me a picture and said something along the lines of like,
hey, I've asked her, hey, are you a swimmer? Because you have really broad shoulders.
Whoa. So then after I told him that, he kind of stopped me and was like, wait, really?
That's what you said for me? He's like, yeah, dude, that's probably why. That could be really
rude. It could be taken the wrong way. I mean, I could see that. I think it's a great compliment.
At the time, that didn't seem like offensive or rude to me.
So just genuinely curious.
Yeah, but what if she has like, I mean, that's like her most self-conscious thing about her body is how broad her shoulders are.
Or what if she's like walking down the street and she gets mistaken for a man every once in a while?
Like it could be a sensitive subject.
Yeah, looking back and now that you say it like that, I didn think of it that way so but what was her reaction to it i mean she kind of paused and kind
of looked at me funny for a second and then i was like no that's a good thing you have shoulders
like an olympian oh no okay yeah and no what'd she do after that was she's like oh sweet thanks okay
yeah she we just kind of picked up conversation from there.
Yeah, just kind of like, oh, okay, thanks.
And moving on from there.
And throughout the rest of the day, everything felt fine,
except maybe that one moment.
But when we got to the end, it's like time to leave,
and she just straight up left.
There was no, like, formal hug or kiss or anything like that.
It was just kind of like a
bye well she didn't want to hug you with her broad shoulders crush you so did you at least like walk
her to her car not really because as soon as we left the restaurant go to walk her to her car but
she's already turned and started almost looking like she's like speed walking jogging off to her
car so without barely even saying goodbye wow heads off to her car. So without barely even saying goodbye,
heads off to her car.
And then I'm kind of left standing there awkwardly like,
well, wait a minute.
Do I like walk you to your car?
Do I chase after you?
Is that weird?
Don't chase after her.
Don't ever choose chase after her as the answer.
Yeah, I didn't chase after her
because then it's like,
if she starts sprinting and then it looks really weird,
it's like if I'm chasing you to your car yeah start screaming if she has pepper spray it gets
even worse if she has some pepper spray you know what i mean oh yeah that made that would that would
just be the best part of it okay so after that experience have you talked to her at all after
that no i mean like i've tried to do the nice polite follow-ups of like texting or shoot her a call and say hey let's do this again or try and figure out what's going on
but no returns and i realize this probably doesn't sound as dramatic or crazy as other
second dates but i mean apart from my awkward broad shoulder comment i thought everything
went really well so i'm just genuinely trying to figure out what's going on yeah because she was
definitely avoiding any chance at like a goodnight kiss with you.
Yeah, and I mean, nothing up to that point was saying, oh, this is going to end in flames.
Yeah, but it did.
Well, it ended in a sprint.
Yeah, and not in flames, and her running away from you.
Well, try to figure out what went wrong, and was it your comment about her husky build that ruined things for you?
Oh, I hope not.
All right, well, play a song, come back,
and then get your second date update, okay?
Thanks.
All right, hang on.
Moving 92.5.
Brooke and Jubal in the morning's second date update.
We're right in the middle of a second date update,
and if you're just joining us,
Trevor is on the phone,
and he's not getting a call back from Carla.
They went out for dinner. He thought
they had a lovely time until he was describing
the date to his friend, and his
friend picked up on something that Trevor said,
and he was like, that was probably offensive.
Trevor was trying to
compliment his date, and he said,
hey, you have huge
shoulders, sort of like a Russian
power lifter at the Olympics.
Like big, burly, huge shoulders.
Like I could strap a yoke to your neck and you could probably plow a field.
You're like an ox.
Oh my gosh.
Is that the exact quote, Trevor, or did I embellish?
That is not even close, but we can say you embellished.
Okay, I will say that even though that's not exactly what you said, that may have been what she heard.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
What did you actually?
I actually said, asked, hey, are you a swimmer?
Because you have really broad shoulders.
Right.
Right.
But all the other stuff was implied.
We went from swimming to powerlifting.
Sure, that was completely implied.
To an ox plowing a field.
That's what I think she picked up on.
Crazy convo. Anyway, Trevor has not
been getting a call back from her and he thinks that
maybe it was that comment that did him in.
And for the record, Trevor, I think
that that wasn't a great comment, but I think that there's
something worse that you did that you're not realizing
if she was literally running to her
car at the end of the date. I didn't
say she was running. I just said it the end of the date. I didn't say she was running.
I just said it developed into a light jog.
Oh, better.
Yeah. Oh, great.
Didn't have time to run.
Yeah.
Okay.
Exactly.
I'm going to dial her phone number right now
and see if we can figure out what happened, okay?
Okay.
Hello?
Hi, may I speak to Carla, please?
Yeah, this is her.
Hey, Carla, how are you? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning.
Sorry, what did you say?
Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. It's a radio show.
Um, I didn't understand a word you just said.
My name is Jubal, and I host a radio show called Brook and Jubal in the Morning.
Oh, okay.
And we recently got an email from one of our listeners about you.
Me?
Yeah.
That's you, Carla.
Why?
That's a good question.
Well, because you recently went out on a date with him, and 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 talking to them after, they email us to see if we can get you on the phone and find out what happened.
His name is Trevor.
He emailed you to call me.
Correct, because he says that you won't return any of his text messages or phone calls.
Oh, my God.
You're laughing?
Why?
Why would he?
Like, I didn't respond.
I think that should be a hint enough.
Yeah, usually it should be.
You're right.
But we do this a lot on our show,
and some people just want an answer.
So he just wants to know why you're laughing and why you think this is so funny, basically.
Did he tell you about what all happened?
On your date?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, he told us a little bit about your date.
He said there was a moment where he felt like he might have offended you.
Like, how did he say he offended me?
He said that you guys were talking at one point and he commented on your shoulders and said they were very broad.
And you looked like you were an Olympian or something like that.
I mean, yeah, that was kind of weird.
You don't sound offended, though.
No, I mean, I used to swim. I swam in college.
Like, I know. I have broad shoulders.
Oh, so he's actually spot on.
Wow. It was like an accurate
observation. Yeah,
but it's kind of a weird just thing to
point out on a date, especially on a first
date, you know. Yeah. It's not usually
the compliment women are looking for.
No, usually
almost anything but eyes.
The eyes,
the hair, all kinds of things to choose
from rather than focusing on how big your
shoulders are. It's not even
just like how big my shoulders are,
it's that they're Olympic sized.
But I mean, you could understand
that he was nervous and he didn't mean
any harm by it. I get that.
I just, I really just wanted
to move on
after that comment.
Yeah,
that's understandable.
What else did he tell you
about our date?
He told us
that was like the main thing.
He did say at the end of it,
you kind of
like ran to your car.
No,
he said a light jog.
Yeah,
he said,
I'm sorry,
he said,
yeah,
he said that
you walked outside,
you didn't really
say goodbye to him,
no hug, no handshake, no nothing and you kind of went from a fast walk to a light jog to your car.
I absolutely did. I could get the vibe that he thought it was going a lot better than I liked, and so I didn't want to have to turn him down if he went in for a kiss or a hug or anything like that.
So I just turned and walked away i just gotta get out of
here because i don't want to have the awkward situation of telling him no and i'm guessing
it wasn't just the broad shoulders comment that made you go to a light no no no it wasn't it was
um oh my god so we're we're sitting we're chatting you know, dinner. He's kind of, I mean, kind of a weird dude.
Okay.
And then, so we start talking about our pets.
I have a cat.
You know, I pulled out a couple photos.
You know, I've shown that the cat's real cute.
And he starts pulling out his phone and showing me pictures of his bird, his parakeet.
Oh, okay. And it's a lot of them. Okay. So he loves this His parakeet. Oh, okay.
And it's a lot of them.
Okay.
So he loves this little parakeet.
Uh-oh.
Well, it's not just love.
It's more like an obsession.
Okay, all right.
Was it like every photo on his phone was his parakeet?
Almost.
Almost every photo.
Really?
All right.
That could just mean that he's lonely, too.
Sure, he likes animals, right?
Well, he's got all these photos, and the bird has an Instagram page.
What?
And he's got a Facebook page.
Really?
Yeah.
No way.
Wow, okay.
It's a lot.
So he loves this bird so much that you didn't feel like you wanted to get to know him anymore.
I just felt like you probably don't have any time for anything else in your life.
Whoa, hey, okay, I take offense to that.
Wait, what is going on?
Oh, that's Trevor.
I forgot to tell you that, Carla.
He's actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you.
Hello.
Oh, my God.
First of all, his name is Steven Squawking,
and he's pretty popular on Instagram and Facebook,
but that's a sad point.
Really?
I just brought up Steven because I thought you were interested.
I like you.
I was sharing that with you
because I wanted to share part of my life with you.
I didn't think you would knock me
down and literally run away.
First of all, I
didn't run. I just
walked away quickly. And
your obsession
with your bird is a bit much.
Well, my obsession
could actually get us rich if he gets enough
followers. So.
How many followers does Steven have?
He has a thousand followers on Facebook and Instagram.
Okay.
Whoa, all right.
So you're building a business with your bird, Steven Squawking.
That is exactly right.
He is my best friend and my business partner.
Carla, it's kind of cute in a way, right? He just loves his pet.
A couple pictures is cute, but he took the parakeet and got professional glamour shots.
Wait, what do you mean?
Like he took the parakeet to a studio. They had someone light it, put it in outfits,
and take photos and edit and tone them of a parakeet.
What is wrong with that?
I care about him.
He's my pet.
I love Steven.
I love him, and I can take whatever pictures I want of him.
You know what, Trevor?
I really think you need to get a life. I mean, you seem like a nice
guy, but you're going a little
overboard with this. Get a life?
I have a life. Steven squawking
is my life.
This is so awkward. It's amazing.
And, you guys, that's why I didn't
call him back.
That makes a little bit more sense.
Well, Carla, I'm hoping I can change
your mind because I would like you to go out on a second date with Trevor.
Will you go out with Trevor one more time?
We will pay for it.
Are you kidding me?
I just told you he took glamour shots of his parakeet.
I'm not going out with him again.
That's fine.
I don't even want to go on a date with a bird hater.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
So we're both in agreement then. You guys don't want to go out with hater. Okay. All right. All right, so we're both in agreement then.
You guys don't want to go out with each other.
No, no way.
Okay.
There's so much hate over a bird.
Yeah, I mean, poor Steven in this deal.
I wish we could talk to him and get his side of the story, but we can't.
I don't think he can talk to us about it.
He's not available for interviews right now, but if you check his Instagram, he's going
on tour soon.
Okay.
I'll be sure to DM Steven Squawking and see if I can set it up.
Thank you.
It's Brooke and Jubal in the morning.
Text in at 78592 says,
That's really sad.
His bird has more social media followers than I do.
It's Brooke and Jubal in the morning talking about today's second date update.
If you missed it, this dude Trevor wanted to call Carla.
He couldn't figure out why she wasn't calling him back.
We got her on the phone, and it turns out that she was kind of unattracted to him
because he's super obsessed with his bird and his bird's Instagram account.
Steven Squawking is a Insta-celebrity, is what it sounds like to me.
The name alone is amazing.
It's a great name. It really is.
I haven't pulled up the account or anything else yet to check it out,
but I'm sure I will be doing that later for like hours.
And shout out to everybody else on the text message board at 78592
just shouting out their pets' Instagrams,
trying to get us to say it on the air.
Like this one says,
I have an Instagram for my dog,
and his is at Dodger the Boxer.
So check that one out.
Aw.
Can't wait.
They're always disappointing to me, though.
Yeah.
I mean, you want these dogs.
There's like three dogs that are worthy of Instagram accounts.
Other than that, I mean, they're sleeping man and fetching balls.
Well, it is cool.
Like, crazy cat ladies now have something to do more than just, you know, sitting around
with their cats, right?
It's like the same thing.
I have a dog
and he has an Instagram account, but he's
kind of boring.
I got him for one specific reason
and that was for Instagram.
He's really not helping me out at all.
So if anybody wants to text in 78519, you can have the dog.
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.
