Like if they have a really bad breath. Yeah, no, it's gross. And there's been cases where that's happened. It's just like, what did you do? If they need a good tongue scraping.

Yeah, gross. We've got Jennifer on the phone. Jennifer, how are you? I'm good, thank you. She emailed us about a guy named Josh. You guys met online, right? Like on a dating website? Yeah, we did.

Okay, and tell us a little bit about Josh. Well, he's super cute. Okay. And we had an awesome time. What'd you guys do? He took me out to dinner. Okay. And it had an awesome time. What did you guys do? They took me out to dinner. Okay. And it was going really well.

We were just talking up a storm and having fun. And so I invited them back to my place. All right. And what did you do once you got back to your place? We played video games. Aw, that's really cute. She just played video games. So cute.

All right. What video game did you play? We played Halo. Wow, you're like a for real gamer. I was thinking like Mario Kart or something. I mean, I'm one of those girls who likes gaming. It's fun. Oh my god, so many gamer

dork dudes just dropped to their knees listening to this right now. Oh my god, she's so awesome. I hope this guy doesn't want to go out with her again because I want to go out with her so bad. So bad. I want my avatar to meet her avatar. What is your gamer tag? What's your rank?

Was Josh a gamer too? Yeah. I mean, it was awesome. We had a blast. And it was super competitive and we were both really into it. And it was great because I got to show him, like, you know,

I'm into his world and he's into mine. So how did it end? Did he leave after you guys were done playing video games or did he stay longer? We just played and had a great time hanging out and we were like laughing and having a good time. And I mean, we didn't kiss or anything, but it was a great time. And he hasn't called me since. Now, how many times have you tried to get a hold of him?

I didn't want to feel, I didn't want to be weird. So, you know, I chatted him like twice and texted him once. Okay. And it's been like a week. We'll call him right after this and see if we can get him on the phone and get an answer for you, okay? Cool, thank you. And if not, then we'll fire up the Xbox 360, see if he's online. Hit him up that way.

We will get you an answer. Hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Mornings. Second date update. We will get you an answer. Hang on. All right, Jennifer's on the phone. Jennifer emailed us about a dude named Josh. They met on a dating website. They're both video game lovers, enthusiasts, nerds. Oh, come on.

Jennifer, is it okay if I call you a video game nerd I prefer the term geek okay there we go so they're both into video games they went out on a date went to dinner went back to her place to play video games they had a good time and she hasn't heard back are you ready to get him on the phone and see what's up yeah I am

All right, Jennifer, we're going to call and see if he answers his phone right now, okay? Okay. All right, and feel free to jump in whenever you want. Hello? Hey, can I speak to Josh, please? This is Josh.

What's up, man? How are you? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. I'm moving 92.5. You got a second? What do you need from me? Excellent question. I want to talk to you about a mutual friend of ours. Uh-huh.

Her name is Jennifer. You guys went out on a date, played some Halo together. Jennifer? Yeah. Oh, my God. Wow. Okay, so you know who I'm talking about, obviously. Here's the deal.

We do a segment on our show called Second Date Update. It's where if a person goes out with someone and then they don't hear back, they ask us to call them and get the answer why. I mean, what do you want to know? I want to know why you haven't called her back. Pretty simple. I mean, there do you want to know? I want to know why you haven't called her back. Pretty simple. I mean, there's a couple reasons. I mean, to be honest, we started off fine.

It was actually a pretty good day. I was enjoying my time. Okay. And then she says to me, she's like, oh, do you want to go back to my place and play the video game? All right. Like, okay, yeah. She had mentioned that she was kind of into video games before.

I'm like, oh, that's cool. So I go over to her place and she, like, went, I don't know what happened. She, like, transformed into a different person. Are you serious? Okay.

She went crazy. She, like, she was cursing. She was telling me about all the, like, all the specs of all the guns and, like, all the, like, the gear she had

and everything. I had nothing against video games at all, but she is taking it way, way too far. This is the nerdiest nerd thing I've ever seen. Hey, Josh. Oh, my God. Josh, Jennifer's actually on the phone with us. Jennifer. She's on the line?

Yeah. I may be a nerd, but at least I'm not a little bitch like him. Oh! That's right, girl. Her halo side is coming out. I think, yeah, that's what you... No, that's nothing compared to the way she started the other night. Jennifer, I'm serious.

I'm serious. You're, like, a really nice person. I actually was into you, like, during dinner and everything. But I don't know. To act that way is, like, really crazy. You're so full of it. Seriously. getting that crazy jennifer no that's how people play games i mean you've played before yeah i like video games for sure but i mean as much as the next guy or girl whatever but you were just taking it like way too far i'm just saying was like, it was the dorkiest thing I've ever seen.

So Josh, does it bother you more that she's this quote unquote nerdy and into video games? Or did her actual competitive side bother you where she's cussing and swearing and... Yeah, it was like the competitive side of it. Exactly. What? It was crazy. I'm serious. It was way over the top.

You know, like I said, I play video games too. I don't know. It was crazy. She was standing up. I thought she was going to throw a controller for a second. To his defense, this could be looking into the future of how she also fights in an argument when you're in a couple. It's a game. It's gaming, you guys.

People get into it. Okay. But not as into it as you are. It sounds like Halo is kind of your life, Jennifer. No, I'm into it. Okay. But not as into it as you are. I mean. It sounds like Halo's kind of your life, Jennifer. No, I'm a gamer. I play games. That's what people do. I don't know, Josh.

I think she could be awesome in bed. You might be missing out. Well, he's never going to find out. Yeah, Jennifer. All right, that brings me to my next question. We always ask people if they want to go on a second date. We'll pay for your second date. Jennifer, it sounds like you're not interested in going out with Josh again.

No way. Okay. Josh, she's already said no, but would you be interested in it at all? I would definitely go out with her again if we did not play any video games at all. Jennifer, you're sure you don't want to go out with him again? Just because I'm, like'm into what I do, into what I do in my free time, and you have no life, that's not my problem.

Hey, Josh, a gamer nerd just told you you have no life. How's that feel? Broken Jubal in the morning. Joel, the holidays are a blast, but the financial hangover, that can be a huge bummer.
