Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal's Second Date Update. I'm going to start today's second date update by saying three words. Welcome back, Guru. Not much.

If you don't know who Guru is, this is his seventh second date update. He's done six before. He's actually had one girl agree to go out with him again. Let's go over some of the highlights from your dates. You took a girl on a Costco date that ended with her jumping from a pedicab, if I remember correctly. There was the other girl the last time you called.

You showed up at her house with groceries ready to make her kebabs, but she didn't know that you were coming over. That's the problem with that one. And you referred to them as skin kebabs. Yeah. It's good to hear from you again. How have you been, man? It's been a long time. I miss you. I miss you, man. I miss everybody there. And it's great to hear your voices. It's like sunshine in my ears. I mean, I'm sorry I've been out of touch. I've been working on a book. I put the other ones down.

Okay, what happened to the other one that you were working on? I just felt a new need arose. The working title is Seattle's Guide to the Best Free Restrooms. Free restrooms?

No, you know what? That's pretty good. That is handy, actually, Guru, because, look, as a guy who probably has to go to the bathroom a lot in public places because i have to urinate like every five seconds there's a lot of places that kick you out if you're not a customer i don't appreciate that yeah because well you know whether i bought something or not you know i'm still in your

space and i've got a need like all the customers things up and i gotta empty something but you know we're all in it together yeah Yeah, we are all in this together. It's really great to hear from you. We just get emails from you from time to time, and apparently you have another girl that you want us to call. Now, you're sure you want to do a second date update with us again. This will be your seventh one. I stopped calling them dates, Juve. I've been calling them explorations.

Explorations? Hey, no, it's a good thing to call it because you guys are exploring each other. I get it. Yeah, that's why it takes a minute to get used to, but then you'll see it makes a lot of sense. Alright. Tell us a little bit about the girl that you went out on a date with.

An exploration. Sorry, exploration. Well, I met Vicki at the post office and was in front of me. And she got up to the window, and she ordered forever stamps. I love those things. Do I have to say it again? Forever. It sounds like you heard the term forever, and you took that as a sign to talk to her. You're talking finance or commerce. I'm talking emotionally.

Yeah, all right. So she ordered forever stamps, and that's how you feel about her? That's all I felt about her. The light bulb went off. A sun-sized light bulb went off, and I was thinking forever. It's all I could think of. It's all Guru. Guru just like a marble in my brain going around forever, forever. And then I stepped up, and then she was sending something priority.

And I thought, guru could make this priority it's all working out for you here sometimes the stars align you know what i mean and you're just in the post office and then the girl next to you happens to be the one and you just have to listen this is what i try to tell people you don't know when it's gonna hit you yeah that's what i'm saying man all the time so how'd you talk to this girl? You said her name was Vicky? Anyway, I don't know if that made any sense. I'm in love right now.

It made sense. Hey, you can't be expected to make sense when you got all those emotions running through your body. I understand. It's a chemical reaction, Juval. It's a chemical reaction. Look, you're excited and you're nervous because you're doing another second date update with us. It's understandable. So she said she would go out

with you and then what happened? What'd you guys do? So Guru went out and bought a bunch of post-it notes. And we wrote a bunch of positive things on them. And Vicky chipped in and I wrote a bunch of positive things. And some were things that Google taught Guru. And then we spent about an hour and a half sticking these post-its on people's mailboxes. That's fun.

You got any examples of what they said? Guru's been trying something new lately. I've replaced, you know, bad words. If people are aggressive, they have bad feelings. I've replaced the bad word with the word flower. So, like, if someone would say, you know, hey, you, you know, blank off, I would say, hey, you know, why you flower off? Okay.

So if I say, hey, this is my friend Guru. He's a badass mother flower. That's how you say it. Okay. So if I say, hey, this is my friend Guru. He's a badass mother flower. That's how you say it. Okay. So you guys did that. And then what happened? How'd the rest of your date go? Well, Guru was a little tuckered out.

So we sat down in a park and had a really nice conversation. Really smooth. But I was still feeling good. Vicky had Guru's heart on a progo stick so i said well let's keep giving back we should pick up some some garbage here in the park and then she she remembered she had some cats she had to go home and feed her cats so guru suggested you know he could help but she said the cats are sick and it's a specific thing guru couldn't help.

What was her favorite part of the date, you think, Guru? Well, I think probably when Vicki tried to come up with one of the Post-it notes herself. She said it was hard for her, and I think she really enjoyed the time it took to think and think about how to give back to people. Yeah, it's good. You gave her an exercise in thinking about other people rather than herself. I appreciate that. Selfless. And I think Vicki did too, even though it seemed hard for her. But sometimes the toughest nut

is the most delicious one inside once you've cracked it. I agree. Now, when she left, did you guys kiss, hug, any of that kind of physical contact? We put our bodies together for just for a second. You hugged. All right.

Yeah, kind of a hug. Yeah. Now, how many times have you tried to get a hold of her since your date? Well, I've called her a lot. It's been a week and Guru's called a lot,

but you know, I can only check my phone sometimes. Right. So, you know, she may have called. I'm sure she has. Okay.

Okay. Well, that could be it. You know, it could just be a miscommunication. You guys could be the Lewis and Clark on this exploration of love. Yes. Okay. Well, that could be it. You know, it could just be a miscommunication. You guys could be the Lewis and Clark on this exploration of love. Yes. Yes.

There you go. That's what Guru thinks. I'm sure she's tried because she knows I'm concerned about her. So I'd just like to know if she's okay, and then I'd like to, you know, explore her some more. Alright, well, you know how it works, Guru. I'm gonna play a song, and then we're gonna come back, and you're gonna do your second exploration update. I'm going to play a song, and then we're going to come back,

and you're going to do your second exploration update. I don't want to call it a date because we've got to call it an exploration, right? Okay. Remember, winners aren't quitters, and where does it start, Guru? Where does it start? It starts at the heart. It starts at the heart. And we're at your heart again, and we're going to come back,

see if we can get her on the phone, and get your second date update, okay? Let's do it. All okay? Let's do it. All right. Let's do it. Hang on for me, man. Moving 92.5. Special treat for everybody. Second date update.

Guru is on the phone with us. He's a second date all-star. This will be his seventh second date update. Now, if you don't know who Guru is, he's a very passionate guy with a lot of energy, some of it misguided. Basically, you have to really understand Guru to get Guru. Now, we understand you here, Guru. I'm hoping that the Guru—

I know you do, Guru. I know we get—Guru and Guru have a brain share going on. I feel like sometimes at night, Guru, I lay in bed before I go to sleep, and I feel like you're thinking about the same thing that I'm thinking about. That's how close we are. Are we sure there shouldn't be a second date update for you two? Everybody knows we have a thing going on. So I'm hoping, though, that Vicky understands you like we do and like our listeners do

because our listeners love you, Guru, and they want to see you find a girl that will go out with you and you can spend some time with, because you fall for girls quickly. You know that. Guru loves them, I want to say first, and I hope we all find that forever stamp in our lives. That's right. I do fall quick, and I don't think that's a fault, and I'm sorry, but I want to apologize for it.

I do fall quick. Yeah. Guru's got a soft heart. The thing that's good about you, Guru, is you are who you are, and you don't apologize for that, andal. I do fall quick. Yeah. Guru's got a soft heart. The thing that's good about you, Guru, is you are who you are, and you don't apologize for that, and I appreciate that. Thanks, Jubal. I think it's just the only way to live. As far as I can see, that's why I was raised.

That's what I believe in. Okay. We're going to call Vicky right now. Just to remind everybody, you met Vicky at the post office. She's buying Forever Stamps. You heard the word forever, and you knew that you should ask her out, and then you guys kind of went to the park on your date, and you haven't been able to get a hold of her since. Yeah, that's about right.

All right, well, I'm going to call her right now, see if we can get her on the phone, and then ask her why she's not getting back to you, okay? Okay. All right, here we go. Remember what I said. Winners aren't quitters, are they? Winners aren't quitters are they winners aren't quitters hello hi is vicky there yeah this is vicky hey vicky how are you my name is Jubal from Brooke and Jubal in the morning

uh okay have you listened to us before um no sorry that's alright I forgive you I'm calling you because you recently went out on a date with a listener of ours

and he asked us to get a hold of you um okay his name is guru oh okay he's a very outgoing passionate dude he went out with you a little while ago emailed us because he hasn't been hearing back from you would love to take you on a second date did you like guru how was your date with guru uh guru is a really nice guy he He's super interesting. Isn't he? He's an interesting guy. That's a good way.

And I think he would take that as a compliment if you called him interesting. Yeah, he, no, he's very interesting. He's very, very, um, you know, kind. He's a very kind person. What was it like to go out with Guru? It's, um, unique, I think. It's a word for it. I mean, I knew it was kind of strange right when he asked me out we were at a post office and then after i'd agreed to go out with him he said uh he couldn't

text me and then he ran back inside the post office and got a pen and and came back out and he wrote a time on his hand and showed it to me and said, meet me back here in 48 hours. So he wrote the time actually on his hand and said, meet me back here at this time. And that was it? He didn't tell us that part about writing it on his hand. We talked to him a little bit about your date. He didn't tell us that much. He just said that he met you at the post office and asked you out and you agreed to it, which is cool.

And did you like what you guys did on your date he told us that you put post-it notes on mailboxes like with inspirational things on them and then went to the park yeah yeah it was i can honestly say i've never done that on a date before you know and i thought it was really nice i mean and we picked up trash you know in the park to sort of give back to the community. He wanted to do something like that. And I thought that was fine. It was a nice thing to do. Okay. And then at the end of the date, we were at the park and we sat down. And he said he had a surprise for me and he wanted me to close my eyes.

So I did. Were you nervous about that? I knew it would be something that I couldn't expect, but I wasn't scared or anything. Right. So I opened my eyes and he had put a scarf around my neck. And so I said, thank you. He was really excited about it and then informed me that he had found it while we were picking up the trash. Oh, gross.

Oh, nasty. Oh, no. He gave you a scarf that he found on the ground. But that's still a nice gift. I mean, he wanted to give you something. Yeah, and I didn't want to offend him because you're right. I mean, he totally viewed it as a gift, and he found this thing, and he wanted to share it with me. And so, of course, I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

But in my brain, I'm now wearing garbage. You know? Yeah. It was hard. And so I convinced him that the best thing to do would be to donate it. And then someone who really needed it more than I did could appreciate it. So he was okay with that. That's good. What would you say to Guru right now, if you could say something to him? If I could say something to him, I would just say that, you know, I had, honestly, I had a very

interesting time with him. And he's a really, really nice person, and he's just not someone that I am personally interested in dating. Okay, well, you just kind of told him that because Guru's actually listening. Thank you. What I was trying to say was that we've all been discarded. We've all been someone who's cost all of us away at least once, and what Guru was trying to tell Vicky is that you could be my scarf

and I found you and we could be together and someone threw that away and didn't see value but I see you as a million forever stamp in my life and Guru Vicky if you just give Guru another chance I won't put any trash around your neck that's not how I saw it

but I won't do anything like that and I'd love another chance to explore you and explore us. That's really, really flattering, Guru. And like, I guess you heard me say, I think you're really interesting and you're a very kind person and you're really nice, but I'm just not interested in exploring us romantically. Jubal, you want to take it from here, Jubal? Vicky, Guru is just a very passionate guy. I mean, you can see that. I would love to see you give Guru another shot. I really would.

Vicky, give Guru another shot. I thought you were so smart and beautiful, and I'll do whatever you want on the next day. You can pick the whole thing. And I'll even let you pay for it. I'll let you do everything. And I'll see you again. Guru might even put the bill, Vicky.

I'll pay for it. If you ask him nice, Guru might even pay for it. It's not about who pays for it, Guru. Wait, Vicky. You were attracted to him in the beginning, right? There was something, there was a spark there when you said yes. You agreed to meet a man at the post office in 48 hours. Well,

I did. I agreed to meet a man at the post office, but what I ended up meeting was a guru. That's more than a man, Vicki. That's better than a man. Guru is a better man than I'll ever be. Isn't that right? I won't accept that, Jubal.

All right, so, Vicki, there's no way we can get you to go out with Guru again. No, I don't think so. No, not at all? We've got to let her go. Jubal, I think we've got to let her go, Jubal. I'm sorry. No second date for you today, okay? That's all right, Jubal. That's all right, because you know what? I got you guys.

Yeah. I got you guys, and we got this whole beautiful city to explore, and there's love out there somewhere, and I hope everybody finds it. That's right, man. Amen. And don't be a stranger. It's been too long since we've heard from you. Yeah. Yeah, I won't be. I'm sorry about that. I've been busy with this book, and maybe if the listeners have ideas about a title for it, they can send it in and book. I'm going to figure out your address soon and send that baby present. Okay, you can always just bring it to my work address.

That might be better, Guru. Okay. We'll get them next time, Jubal. We'll get them next time. We'll talk to you later, buddy. Talk to you next time. Bye, guys. Brooke and Jubal in the
