But guys that can't play instruments don't like this dude because as soon as the guitar guy comes to the party, all the girls are just focused on him. He's so dreamy. My name is Raul and I play the guitar for fun in front of my friends to impress them with my musical skills. And it looks like we're talking to that guy today. Oh no.

The guy that knows how to play guitar and steals all the ladies from other dudes with no talent. His name is Brenton, and Brenton is not getting a call back from a girl named Megan. Hello, Brenton. How are you? I have had some better days, let me tell you that. Yeah, looks like the guitar thing didn't work for you this time, did it, buddy? Well, it did in the beginning because it got me a date with this girl,

but it's not seeming to work from that point on. So your email said that you met this girl where you're actually playing a show? Like it wasn't like you were just hanging out? Yeah, it was my gig. I was playing for a show and she was there having a drink at the bar and that's where we met. Is she the one that approached you or did you approach her? Well, I had finished playing, and when I went up to the bar, she came up to me, and she told me that I did a really great job. And she kept locking eyes with me, and I figured, you know, she had to be interested. So, yeah.

So you knew that inside her head this was playing. I must take Brenton home with me. So she seeked you out. And did you guys go out that night, or did you schedule a date? We actually scheduled a date after the show that night, and we ended up meeting up for lunch. Okay, and how did lunch go

with her? Well, it started off alright. Did you bring your guitar to lunch? No, I didn't. I did not bring my guitar to lunch. That's probably why she's not calling you back. Can I just ask real quick, was it your idea for lunch or hers? I had suggested we went out for a drink again after my next gig,

but she insisted that we met for lunch because she had to go to work later that night. Yeah, I always think lunch is already kind of a red flag, like she's not that interested. Yeah, it was weird because we were at lunch, and she acted like she was no longer interested in me. I don't know if it was because there wasn't dark lighting. I don't know if it was because she wasn't drinking. Yeah, maybe she was drunk, and it was in the dark, and she was like, ooh, that guitar guy is really hot.

And then you showed up, and she was like, ooh, you're the guitar guy? It actually should be like, ooh, that's the guitar guy. I mean. Yeah, that's what it should be. But that's not the reality sometimes. Maybe you're right. Maybe she met you that night and she had a little bit to drink and you were not who she thought she had asked out. Well, I mean, if anything, she may have been lying to me then because we really did hit it off at the bar the first night.

How did everything end with her? Well, I paid, hoping that would kind of put a little bit of icing on it. Did you pay with your card or did you pay with a song? Guitar man. Yeah, I paid with cash. Oh, cash, yeah. That's lame. So with as hot and heavy as this date sounds,

I'm guessing you did not get a kiss at the end of it. No, but this is the thing. We actually set up another date after the lunch date. Oh, really? How did that work? I told her that I was going to be playing at this next gig because I play at these small venues all around the city. And she was totally down and said she'd be there. I told her the time, and she said that she'd bring a friend and she'd show up.

And so she didn't show up? No, no show. Didn't pick up after when I called. She just basically fell off the face of the earth. So you haven't heard anything from her since you guys went out to lunch? No, I mean, I hate to say this, but for all I know, I mean, she could be dead. I don't know.

Because that's a jump to conclusion you should make. No, you're're right In my experience Anytime a girl Hasn't called me back It's because she's died And I feel like You and I Are kind of

Kindred spirits Like that You know Yeah yeah I mean you probably Have the bongos At the party I'm the one

With the guitar Yeah Joe Bull is totally The bongo guy Definitely Women love it Alright well we'll Play a song

Come back Call her And get your Second date update Okay Thanks man Alright man Hang on Alright, well we'll play a song, come back, call her And get your second date update, okay? Ah, thanks man Alright man, hang on We're in the middle of a second date update

And if you're just joining us Brenton is on the phone And Brenton Is a guitar player That's how he met the girl that he wants to call today. He met her at one of his shows. They hit it off. They met for lunch. And ever since lunch,

she has not contacted him at all even though he's tried. And Brenton just got done telling us that he and his guitar have bagged over a thousand women. And now he's just trying to track her down because she's the one that got away. Isn't that right, Brynn? I never said that.

Yes, you did. Poor Brynn. You said, I have bagged a thousand women, Jubal. And then you strummed your guitar. I heard you. I'm a one-woman kind of guy. I bet you could bag a thousand women if you wanted to Because you play guitar

Well I'm not doubting it But I'm saying I'm not Alright You're like adorably dorky and I really like it We're about to call What's her name? Her name's Megan right? Yes Megan Alright we're about to call Megan right now

Any last thoughts before I dial her phone? Um Let's pray that she's kind to me. All right, here we go. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Megan, please? Speaking. Hi, Megan. This is Jubal from Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. How are you? You're from where? Brooke and Jubal in the Morning, the radio show. What radio show? That's the name of it.

It's called Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. Okay. You're obviously a big-time listener, and I appreciate that. Let me thank you in advance. What do you want? I'm calling you because one of our listeners emailed us about you, and he asked me to get a hold of you. Okay, this is weird.

It's a guy that you went out on a date with, and he's been trying to get a hold of you for a second date, but you're not calling him back. His name is Brenton. do you remember meeting Brenton oh Jesus yes oh my gosh Megan all right so it sounds like you don't really like Brenton very much no okay that was blunt I'll just tell you what he told us he said that you guys met at a gig where he was playing guitar. You seemed really into him. And then you went out to lunch. And during lunch, you got cold and seemed upset with him

and then just haven't called him back, haven't made any effort for another date or anything. Well, you know, I was really excited to go out with this guy. He seemed like such a cool musician. And then I show up to the lunch date, and it's like, what the f***? What do you mean? He was still the same guy, right? Yeah.

No, he was not the same guy. Oh, all right. Here's one of the things that he told us he thinks it might be. He thought that maybe that night when you met him, when he was playing guitar in the dark, he looked hot. And then you saw him in broad daylight, and you were like, oh, my God, he's ugly. Is that what happened? Well, I mean, like, he's a good-looking guy.

Like, you know, he looks fine, but just the way he was dressed. The way he was dressed? He's a bad dresser. I mean, he comes in, and he's wearing slacks and a button-up shirt. Well, it's during the day and he probably has a job. Isn't that a good thing? Or dressing up for the date. He's supposed to be this hot musician, though.

So it was his clothes? I mean, I'm trying to figure out what it is. And within five minutes of talking to him, I realized he's a f***ing brogrammer. A what? What? A brogrammer? What is a brogrammer? Oh, come on. You know what a brogrammer is. I actually have no idea.

What is that? You know, these middle-aged white guy tech nerds that are just f***ing taking over the city. Okay, so you're saying that he's like a tech dude by day, and then he plays guitar as a hobby, and that's unattractive to you? Exactly. He's not a true artist. He's working for the man, doing his tech program stuff, and pushing all the artists out.

So you want him to have no money and be living in, like, a studio apartment with four other people right now? Not necessarily, but he should be trying to work for it and trying to be an artist. If he's an artist, he shouldn't be working a day job. So you don't think he should perpetrate at night and try to play guitar and act like an artist when he actually is part of the corporate world? This guy is exactly what we don't need in this city. He is such a f***ing fake. They're taking

over the city and f***ing ruining it. Wait, why are you so passionate about this? What do you do for a living? I'm just curious. I'm an artist. What's your medium? What do you do? I create visual art and sculpture. And that's all you do?

Yes. I am in the struggle. I'm working at it. And that's all you do? Yes. Okay. I am in the struggle. I'm working at it. Not that you would understand that. Whoa. Whoa. I guess not. I'm sorry.

You know what? I kind of agree with you, though, in a weird sort of way. Do you really? Yeah, these dudes bug me. They've always bugged me, the tech guys that are in their garage making craft beers and then trying to play guitar at night for a hobby i kind of understand what you're getting at megan i'm maybe not as passionate as you are about it but uh i guess i sort of understand what you mean the city's just overrun traffic is worse they're moving into the city rents are going up because they all want to come lived in a cool

downtown mosque you know my friends are getting kicked out. It's just they're ruining the city. They're all over the place. These stupid programmers. I can't even ride my bike down to the store because these are taking up the whole road with their fancy cars. They're all in the way. OK, so that's pretty harsh. Thank you for being honest with us. I appreciate cars. They're all up in the f***ing way. Okay. That's pretty harsh. Thank you for being honest with us.

I appreciate that. Well, I don't know what else to f***ing tell you. This guy's a douche. No, hey. That's all you needed to tell us. That's all we were calling to find out is why you weren't getting back to him. I should also let you know that Brenton is actually listening to this conversation. What the f***?

I can't believe you're judging me because I make a living so I can do my art. You're not an artist, Brenton. You're a f***ing hobbyist. It's so unattractive. This is absurd. Megan, don't you think you're being like

a little close-minded? No, I'm not close-minded. It's these f***ing programmers who think that they can just run the world and squish all of the artists out. And think that they can just dabble in it at night. But wasn't he a pretty good guitarist? I mean, he was okay. You liked him when you first met him. This is just bulls***.

I feel tricked. I feel like you tricked me. I tricked you? I got catfished by a f***ing programmer. How do you think I feel here? I guess she is so upset. Megan, I do have to ask you

and I think I know your answer, but I have to ask the question anyway. Would you like to go on a second date with Britton? We will pay for it. Oh f*** no. Would you like to go on a second date with Brenton? We will pay for it. Oh, f*** no. You sure? I'll send you guys to a farmer's market

where everything's fair trade. Brenton probably doesn't even know what the f*** it is. Brenton, you want me to try harder to get you another date? I can keep going. That's fine, Megan.

You don't have to take another date with me because I can get whatever I want with my guitar. Whoa. Not an artist like me. You're never going to get this.

Oh, my God. Wow. Why don't you just go do one of your other bro-grammer friends, Brenton? Well, when you're a true artist, there is no sexual preference. You just take what is given. Wherever the wind blows you, you go. Right, Megan? i'm done you know brenton go enjoy your life in your cookie cutter house with your wife and your 2.5 kids and your f***ing cocker spaniel

and while you're living your bulls existence. I will be creating. I think she... She hung up. Britton, she hung up. Wow. Good. I'm surprised she even had a cell phone. Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Text message in at 78592 that says,

That girl Megan sounds like an art school reject. Just an angry little art school reject. Just an angry little art school reject. It's Brook and Jubal in the morning. In case you missed the second date update, this guy Britton wanted us to call this girl Megan for a second date update. She wasn't calling him back after they

met. She met him. He was playing guitar. And she was like, ooh, this guy's awesome. They exchanged numbers. They met up for lunch. And when they met for lunch, she suddenly was like really cold to him. We finally got her on the phone and finds out that she didn't like him because he showed up to lunch and he wasn't a starving artist. And he has a day job as like a programmer or something. Yuck. He's the man.

He's part of establishment He's not a real artist who's struggling Living in a van And can barely pay for food How dare he You know I I could almost understand her frustration With you know getting someone that Wasn't who she thought it was going to be right

She felt a little Misconceived or whatever Misled Yeah thank you But her anger Like so angry You can't hear anything she says She felt a little misconceived or whatever. Misled. Yeah, thank you. But her anger, like, so angry. You can't hear anything she says because she's just so angry. Yeah.

She's just really, really mad at anybody who's not a true artist. They should be kicked out of this country. As a matter of fact, they should all be burned with their computers. I bet her art is very deep. Very deep. I struggle because I choose to struggle. If they offered me a million dollars, I wouldn't take it. If somebody gave me a million dollars for a painting of mine, I would shun them and turn it away and never make any money.

You know why? Because I'm a real artist. Either that or we find out that she has a big trust fund from Mommy and Daddy. She's actually sitting on like $100 million, so she can afford to just do her art. Remember, if you want a second date update, all you have to do is email the show, brookandjubel at moving925.com. We will call

the person who didn't call you back. Moving 92.5. Joel, the holidays are a blast, but the financial hangover, that can be a huge bummer.
