Second date update.
You always know you're in for a good first date when the guy comes up to you and whispers in your ear,
Hey, I got a surprise for you.
Right, Edie?
No.
Okay, well, it wasn't like that. That's not how it happened at all. That's not fair.
Thank God.
I'll start to explain. I guess Edie is on the phone for a second date update.
Today she wants to call a dude named Alan and I guess he did have a surprise for her
on their first date and I guess
I'll let Edie take it from there. First of all, where
did you meet this dude? If you can believe
it, at my local comic convention.
Comic? Like comic books?
Yeah, like going to Comic Con. Like comic books
you know, they have like TV shows and stuff
now. Cool.
But yeah, I was there with a bunch of my friends, and we were all dressed up as like different
DC villains, right?
Oh, that's awesome.
So I was dressed as Harley Quinn.
Oh, come on.
Oh, no.
You're going to a Comic-Con thing dressed as Harley Quinn.
You're getting hit up all over the place.
Oh, yeah.
Or you're going to a comic thing as a woman.
You're getting hit up all the time.
So really no way out of it, Edie.
So anyways, this guy dressed as Darth, Edie. So, anyways,
this guy dressed as Darth Vader came up to me, and I'm looking at him like, oh, you're kind of
short for Vader. Like, what's up with that? Oh, great.
But anyways, he came up to me,
and he has a, like, Vader voice
on, right? Okay. And he says,
I've been looking for love
in all
the wrong places.
So, wait, is that...
I haven't been to a Comic-Con.
Is that him hitting on you?
It's a joke.
Have you seen Star Wars?
No.
So he said,
I'm looking for love in all Duran places.
Because all Duran's a planet in Star Wars,
but he said that instead of all Duran.
Okay, that makes it even less funny to me.
But you probably thought it was funny.
That's clever.
I did.
Well, it's Comic-Con.
I'm a nerd like that.
Yeah.
Anyways, I thought it was cute.
Right.
I think it is too.
So did you just spend the rest of your time with Darth Vader?
What happened next?
No, I didn't.
I had a panel I wanted to go to with my friends.
But he took off his mask and he was really cute. So I gave him my phone number to talk to him later. Okay, cool didn't. I had a panel I wanted to go to with my friends, but he took off his mask and he was really cute,
so I gave him my phone number to talk to him later.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, so a couple days later, I messaged him and he asked,
hey, you just want to get coffee sometime?
And I was like, yeah, let's do that.
Okay.
Did he wear his Darth Vader costume to coffee?
I hope so.
No, no.
I imagine that's an uncomfortable costume to wear.
He did not wear it.
Yeah.
I mean, we went to a comic book shop first,
and I'd been looking at this limited edition book for a while,
and he got it for me, and that was really sweet.
And then we went for coffee.
Oh, cool.
That's awesome.
I mean, you guys have something to bond over.
You have similar interests,
and it sounds like you spent quite a bit of time together.
We did.
So get this.
At coffee, we're sitting at the table
and he goes,
I have a surprise for you.
And I was like, oh no.
But he takes out of his bag,
he has a limited edition Lego set
to actually build the Arkham Asylum
from Batman.
It's just like,
it came out recently.
It's hard to get.
And he was like,
oh, we can build together here
while we get coffee.
Okay. I understood Legos and that's we can build together here while we get coffee. Okay.
I understood Legos, and that's all I really needed to know, I guess.
That does sound like fun, though, honestly, like, you know, hanging out, playing Legos.
It was.
Like, it was really specific, and it was Carrie, like, remembered what I did.
I don't know.
I thought it was, like, good effort.
It was really endearing.
It's sweet.
Yeah, that's awesome.
So you were excited about
all of that i was i was and i know it's not for everyone but good date yeah yeah so that makes it
even better for you though like if it's good for you then yes that's understandable why you liked
it so much you are so stinking cute edie i know she is so how did you guys wrap things up at the
coffee house well this was weird.
His phone started blowing up, and then
he was just like, hey, I'm so sorry, I gotta
go. And then he left, and like, I'm
just sitting there with the Legos set
up on the table like, what just happened?
Wait, he left limited edition Legos?
Like, it was that serious? I don't know
what it was. He just said he had to leave.
His phone was blowing up. Wow.
That sounds like a planet to save
or something.
So no
explanation and
did he say anything to you after or is that the last you heard
from him? No, that was the last I heard
from him. And then like, I don't
know, he just looked so nervous. Like he kept checking his
phone and then he just like got all jittery
and peaced out.
And he wasn't like that the entire day
until like what the last like 15
minutes or so or what's our time? No he had been
really sweet all day. I don't know what changed.
Weird. So I would
just think it's a legit emergency
if he was going to leave behind this special
Lego limited edition set.
Right. I completely agree.
And I was just worried about him you know.
I've been trying to call him for the past four days.
I have nothing.
I'm just hoping you guys can reach him.
Okay.
Well, we'll try.
If we can't get my phone, I'm sure one of us can use the force.
I thought we were going to go back signal.
No?
No, back signal for my universe.
He's the force.
Oh, okay.
Force.
Cool.
All right.
I thought it was right.
I wasn't sure.
Thank you for clarifying.
All right.
We'll play a song, come back, and then use the force and get him on the phone
and see if we can find out what happened, okay?
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Hang on.

Brooke and Jubal in the Morning.
Second date update.
Hey, Edie?
Yeah?
I think I know why your date ran off before coffee was even over.
Oh, no.
Why?
Well, because when you guys met, he was dressed as Darth Vader.
And I bet that while you guys were having coffee and playing with Legos, he liked you so much,
he probably had a malfunction with his lightsaber and had to get out of there because he was embarrassed.
Uh-oh.
No way.
Happens to a lot of dudes.
Yeah, lightsaber malfunctions, huh? Yeah. No way! Happens to a lot of dudes. Yeah, lightsaber malfunctions, huh?
No way!
If you're just joining us for today's second date update,
Edie is on the phone and she wants to call a dude named Alan.
They met at a Comic-Con type event.
He was dressed up as Darth Vader.
She was dressed up as Harley Quinn.
And then they ended up going out for coffee and playing with Legos.
And then before coffee was even done, his phone started blowing up
and he got kind of nervous and just took off.
And Edie hasn't heard from him since.
So we're about to call him right now
and see if we can find out what happened.
Edie, you ready to go?
I'm so ready.
I hope you find him.
Yeah, I know.
I'm nervous with you, Edie.
I mean, he left his like precious collector item Lego set.
He's the one that asked you out to begin with.
I think that there is something legit going on.
Right? Something has to be up.
Yeah. And for once, I don't think it's your fault,
Edie.
For once? You don't know me.
That's not nice. Well, I just mean in general
with the second date updates. It's usually the person
calling in's fault in some way, but I think
this one, it's something out of
your control. No, it's specifically
you, Edie. We've been blaming you for a lot of things on the show for years.
So just thought we'd come clean about that.
All right, here we go.
I'll dial this phone number right now.
Hello?
Hi, can I speak to Alan?
Yeah, speaking.
Hey, Alan, how are you?
This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning.
You ever heard of the show before?
The show?
Brook and Jubal in the Morning.
It's a radio show.
So I'm going to take that as a no, you haven't heard.
No, I haven't.
Sorry.
That's okay.
No need to apologize.
I'm calling you today because we got an email about you.
Um, can you explain more?
I'd love to. We got an email about you from a girl named Edie.
Uh, oh, okay.
What?
Um, what did she want?
Wait, I'm so confused.
She wants to know why you left your date and haven't called her.
I'm sorry.
Wait, so she reached out to you?
I don't get it.
She emailed us.
She's like legit concerned for your safety, man.
And I was too.
Like she described how you left and it sounds like something horrible happened in your life.
Look, I'm fine, first off.
Okay, that's good.
Can you guys just tell her that my grandpa was ill or something?
I don't know.
Whatever sounds most realistic.
Wait, you want us to lie?
Well, I'm not going to lie to her.
Is he not sick?
Why not?
You don't lie about what?
Because I don't want to lie to her.
Okay, well, you can say my grandma.
It doesn't matter.
Just whatever you guys need to say.
Alan!
I'm not going to say anybody's sick.
Okay, don't say sick.
Say they're injured.
Or they wanted to spend time with me.
I don't know.
Was the date with Edie so bad that you can't even tell us what happened?
It's just not what I thought it would be.
What?
I don't understand.
Like, you asked this girl out, she told us.
You obviously were attracted to her.
She sounds super awesome.
Like, I wanted to hang out with her after we talked to her.
She sounds really nice.
Well, if she's trying so hard to find me,
it sounds like she's available,
so maybe you could hang out with her?
What?
Oh, ouch!
I'm not trying to date her, man.
I'm just trying to help her out.
Guys, I don't know what you want from me.
Just a little bit of the truth so that we can tell Edie.
I don't think that would be good at all.
I don't think she wants the truth.
Yes, of course she wants the truth.
Put yourself in her shoes.
Like, she has a date that leaves, like, halfway through the date.
Yeah, but I really don't think that she's going to like this what happened well she's prepared for that we've told her that she might hear something
she doesn't like so it'd be better to at least tell her so that she knows for future dates
so she doesn't do the same thing why don't you just tell her this just tell her that it's all me
it's my fault it's nothing to do with her okay so you just want to tell her it's me, not you.
Lame.
That still doesn't help give her any information about what she can do different.
Think of it as paying it forward, Alan.
Okay, look.
I don't know what she told you, but I'm a huge Darth Vader fan.
Okay.
Like, I've read everything.
I've searched the internet for fan fiction.
On nights when I'm not doing anything,
I will go through and watch every scene
that he is in from every movie.
Wow.
Okay, so we...
Okay, so...
That's crazy,
but she obviously likes that stuff
because she was at Comic-Con
and she met you in your Darth Vader costume.
Like, none of that would be surprising to her.
Here's the thing.
I don't know if y'all are familiar with The Phantom Menace.
No.
Not really.
I mean, I know what it is, but, you know, I don't have a lot of Star Wars knowledge.
Right.
I figured.
So here's the thing.
That's when Darth Vader meets Princess Amidala, who is played by Natalie Portman.
Oh, yeah. She's a Portman. Oh, yeah.
She's a hottie.
Yeah.
Absolutely, she is a hottie.
Yeah.
What does this have to do with your date, though?
Here's the thing.
Darth Vader and Princess Amidala end up getting together.
Uh-huh.
And they get married, and they have children.
What?
Who end up being Luke and Leia.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
That is what I want with my life.
I want to find my Princess Amidala.
Okay.
And so I was at Comic-Con and I saw Edie and she was dressed up and she had all this great white makeup on.
And when I saw her, I had this revelation.
And I was like, that's her.
That's my Princess amandala so she
was dressed up at heart as harley quinn but you thought that she should be princess amandala or
whatever well yes it's just the way that she was dressed up made her look like princess amandala
they're very similar they have white makeup on they're you know they're really done up they're
very regal they're very like curvy it was it was like a vision come to life.
Okay.
Okay.
So then when I was at coffee with her, she showed up and she didn't look like Princess Amidala.
Right.
She just looked like a normal person.
Because she wasn't in costume anymore.
So did you, right?
Well, yeah, but I thought that maybe she would still radiate that presence even when she just was in street clothes.
Oh.
Okay. Maybe that she would still radiate that presence even when she just was in street clothes. Okay, so she was a normal person and not a character out of a sci-fi movie and didn't like that.
Look, I know you guys don't get it, okay, but this means a lot to me and she wasn't what I was looking for.
Yeah, but even if she wasn't what you were looking for, how rude to just leave someone in the middle of the date and make them, one, worry about you, and two, feel like crap, man.
Well, I made it seem like I had a legitimate excuse.
I texted all my friends and I told them to call me so that way, you know.
No, it's just coffee.
Finish up coffee.
It's not that painful because she doesn't look like some princess.
Yeah, but I can't tell her that.
I can't tell her, sorry, you don't look like a princess anymore.
Yeah, because it's me.
Unfortunately, you kind of just did, Alan,
because she's actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you.
What?
Yeah.
I don't look like a princess?
Are you serious?
Yeah.
What are you doing here?
What am I doing? I'm listening. I'm listening.
She's been on the phone listening because she wanted to find out why you left the date and didn't talk to her anymore.
Oh, my God.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't look like a princess? Are you serious?
Yeah, I'm a normal person when I'm not at Christmas.
It's called cosplay, costume play. I don't live in white makeup. What did you expect? Yeah, it'm a normal person when I'm not at costume play. I don't live in white makeup.
What did you expect?
Yeah, it's weird.
What did you expect?
I didn't respond anymore.
Like, why are you doing this?
Why am I doing this?
Your heart is colder than hot.
You are terrible.
I think that was a burn.
I don't understand it, but good for you, Edie.
Get him.
Thanks, thanks.
It was a decent burn. No, you are ridiculous. You know, you're sad I don't understand if it's good for you get him thanks thanks it was it was a decent
burn no you are ridiculous you know you're sad i don't look like amadara i'm upset you don't look
like captain america with his shirt off you don't know what i look like with my shirt off
sorry i know exactly what i want and that's what i'm going for okay you could have told me but
instead you ran away like an ewok being chased by Jabba the Hutt.
You don't even know what you're talking about.
Jabba the Hutt doesn't move.
He just stays in one place.
I don't even know what this argument is.
We don't want to get way too into the weeds with that stuff right now.
That's for a different time.
Maybe at a Comic-Con.
I'm confused, Alan.
I mean, so are you wanting a girl to remain in costume at all times?
Like, I don't get it.
Look, she doesn't have to be in costume the whole time, but when I'm with her, I want to feel like I am in the presence of Amidala.
Okay?
I want to have Luke and Leia.
Okay?
Okay.
All right.
I guess you can't argue with that.
Or can you?
I don't really understand it still.
Edie, can you argue with that?
No, not going to argue with that. Or can you? I don't really understand it still. Edie, can you argue with that? No, not going to argue with that.
I'm done.
Thanks.
Okay.
Well, hey, don't be done yet, Edie.
I still have to ask Alan if I go on a date with you.
Alan, would you like to go on a second date with Edie?
We'll pay for it.
I'm sorry.
I can't waste time with someone who isn't my soulmate.
Oh, man.
That's stupid.
Dude, you're not living in reality, but okay, man.
A little out of touch.
So let me get this straight.
You're looking for a woman who looks like Natalie Portman,
dresses like she's the princess of Naboo,
and you won't settle for a regular human?
I knew you wouldn't get it.
Yeah, good luck with that.
It's okay.
The force just wasn't strong with us.
Aw, man.
Well, okay, Alan.
Good luck finding your princess.
What was it again?
Princess, what's her name?
Amidala.
I apologize for disrespecting your future wife.
Princess Amidala.
And E.D., good luck finding whoever you're looking for.
Normal people.
People not from Comic-Con.
Thanks. Broken Jubal Comic-Con. Thanks.
Broken Jubal in the morning.
Text message in at 78592 that says,
I want a man that looks like Chris Hemsworth,
but we can't all have what we want in life, Cam.
Amen.
It's Broken Jubal in the morning talking about today's second date update.
Edie wanted to call a dude named Alan.
They met at a Comic-Con type event.
They were dressed up in costume.
He was Darth Vader, and she was Harley Quinn.
And then they went out, and then when they actually went out,
they were having coffee, and he just took off.
We got him on the phone and found out why.
It was because he thought the Harley Quinn outfit was Princess Amidala from Star Wars.
No, like Esk, like a lot of makeup, like the white makeup.
Yeah.
I was just making sure I got the Star Wars name right,
because I don't really know it very well.
And you don't want to offend
all the listeners.
He left because
he's looking for his real life
Princess Amidala
and hopes that he finds her one day.
Yeah, and she didn't have
the right essence
once she took the makeup off.
Which is,
she sounds awesome.
She does.
Not only does she know
all the nerd language,
but she sounds lovely.
He made the biggest mistake.
He's an idiot.
I agree. Or, one day, he will find made the biggest mistake. He's an idiot. I agree.
Or, one day,
he will find his
Princess Amidala.
Whatever.
I'm going to guess
she's probably not out there
because she's fiction,
but who knows?
Whatever, man.
Remember, 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.
