Starting point is 00:02:09 I can't tell you much about the guy that's on the phone that wants to do a second date update today, but I can tell you this. He owns a bad leather jacket. Really? Why do I say that? Because he met the girl that he wants to call today at a singles event, one of those singles mixers, and every time you go to one of those those just a bunch of dudes wearing bad leather jackets
Starting point is 00:02:29 all the time every time i've seen one of those horrible leather jackets chuck how you doing i'm good guys how are you good so are you owner of a bad leather jacket no i do not i do not own a leather, but I did notice a bunch of really bad leather jackets. Yeah, see? Look at any one of those things. It's just guys with greasy hair and bad leather jackets. So tell us a little bit about the girl that you met at this singles mixer. What's her name? Her name's Rebecca. Rebecca, all right. And when I first started talking to her, like the first time I met her at this thing, I was kind of nervous, and I really don't think that I came across very, like, charismatic or confident.
Starting point is 00:03:10 You know, I didn't really have much to say. So the first meeting didn't really go too well. Then I got to talk to a few more girls, and I warmed up a little bit, you could say, and I gained a little more confidence. And then the second time I went to talk to Rebecca it went a lot better a lot smoother. I'm always surprised that people actually meet somebody that they want to date at these events because I've hosted a lot of them and I haven't actually seen success stories like what about her stood out among the the group? Well this is my first time going to one of these events,
Starting point is 00:03:45 and I actually brought a friend in my activity. I didn't want to go by myself. So I really don't have much experience with these things. But what stood out about Rebecca was just that she seemed very classy. She was well-dressed. She was very pretty. She came across really intelligent, more so than me, me probably that's cute so what'd you guys do when you actually went out well i wanted to take her somewhere kind of classy you know because
Starting point is 00:04:13 i figured she was a smart classy chick so i actually heard about this art exhibit i figured that's a pretty classy thing to do, you know, art exhibit. Kind of an original first date sort of thing. And you impress her a little bit by going like, hey, I'm cultured. I know about all the art in town, baby. Yeah. So we go to the art exhibit, you know, and luckily they had a few drinks. They added some, like, wine there. We had a few drinks while we looked at some art,
Starting point is 00:04:53 and we, you know, talked about the sculptures and the paintings that we saw. Who was more interested in the actual art, like you or her? Well, I don't know. Like, I pretended that I was interested. I don't really know anything about art. And certainly after a couple of glasses of wine, I decided to sort of talk like I actually knew something. So you're sitting in front of a painting, breaking it down, and you have no idea what you're talking about?
Starting point is 00:05:21 Yeah. I would take a look at one of the paintings, and I would be like, oh, like, one of the paintings, and I would be like, oh, I really like this avant-garde style and the use of pastels and... Were you just sort of spouting any art word you've ever heard? Pretty much. Pretty much.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Look at those brushstrokes. I have no idea who the artist was, you know, what century it was made. It could have been painted yesterday. Do you think she saw through it as, like, maybe you were trying a little too hard or you were a fraud or anything? That was my initial thought as to why she's not returning my calls or texts. Because we had a pretty good time, you know. It seemed so anyway
Starting point is 00:06:05 we shared a kiss at the end we had a kiss and that was it though I mean there was no hot action if you will but things went well and I asked her if I could give her a call
Starting point is 00:06:21 and she was like yeah sure so it must not have gone too bad though if she's willing to kiss you at the end of the date. In my experience, if a date doesn't go well, most girls are not open to a kiss. That's so weird. Yeah, I agree. I don't quite know what went wrong. You know, I do think, though, I think it would have been more attractive if you would have just said, hey, listen, I think you're classy.
Starting point is 00:06:42 I don't know a whole lot about art. Let's experience this together. Like, why weren't you just honest about it? Yeah, that would have been a great idea, Brooke. I wish I had thought of it. Unfortunately, I'm not that bright. I don't know. I just feel like maybe I didn't come across very genuine on the date, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:05 and maybe she saw through that, and I just want the opportunity to, you know, maybe take her out again and perhaps show her, like, the real me, you know. What is the real you? The real me is a guy who likes to drink and play pool and watch sports and watch stupid movies. Yeah. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:32 I will say in the couple minutes we've talked, I think you're really likable. You are. I agree. Well, thanks. I appreciate it. I agree. I may not be the sharpest bowl in the drawer, but I do type out. You know, I got lots of friends.
Starting point is 00:07:51 All right. Well, we'll play a song, come back, call her, and see if that's the reason in your second date update, okay? Okay, great. All right, man. Hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the do a second date update to a girl named Rebecca.
Starting point is 00:08:14 They met at a singles mixer, ended up going out to an art exhibit, and Chuck thinks that he screwed up because at the art exhibit he tried to act like he was refined and knew all about art, didn't know anything about it, so he thinks that she was able to spot that he was refined and knew all about art. Didn't know anything about it, so he thinks that she was able to spot that he was lying and isn't calling him back. Chuck, I really want you to be successful in this second date update. Yeah, that would be
Starting point is 00:08:33 nice. I'm pulling for you on this one. I want to get you a second date with this girl really bad. Not necessarily because I want you to go out with her, but I don't want you to have to go to any more singles mixers. Because I know... They are pretty bad. You said this is one of the first times you've been and you don't own a bad leather jacket. And we talked about how everybody at singles mixers has bad leather jackets.
Starting point is 00:08:52 And I know if you keep going to these, you're going to acquire one of those. And I want to keep you from getting a bad leather jacket. Thanks a lot, too. Well, I appreciate that. No problem. I'm just trying to save you from that leather jacket. That's all I'm trying to do here. All right, man.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Are you about ready to give her a call? Let's do it. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Rebecca, please? This is she. Hey, Rebecca, how are you? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Who is this? Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. I'm calling you because one of our listeners recently sent us an email about you, and I wanted to ask you some information. You mean about me? An email about me? Yes. It's a segment that we do on our show. It's called the Second Date Update.
Starting point is 00:09:46 It's basically if you go out on a date with somebody and then don't call them back, they email us to see if we can get you on the phone and ask why. Okay. Have you been out on a lot of dates recently? I wouldn't say a lot, but I've definitely been dating. I'm single. All right. Well, this guy's name is Chuck.
Starting point is 00:10:03 You know Chuck? Is that a yes? Is that a yes? You know him and you're not impressed by Chuck? Because that's what it sounded like to me. Or you don't know who Chuck is? I know who Chuck is. Okay. I'd appreciate it if you could just tell us maybe why you're not calling him back.
Starting point is 00:10:23 I mean... He said you guys met at a singles mixer and ended up going to an art exhibit. That's true. Okay. He said at the art exhibit, he was trying to act like he was smart and knew everything about art
Starting point is 00:10:35 when in fact he really doesn't know much at all. And he thinks that you saw through that and that's why you're not calling him back. I thought he knew a lot about art, so... Oh, you did? Really? Oh, so he fooled you. He like pulled it off? I thought he knew what he was talking about. I mean, I don't know too much about art either. Really? That's awesome. Okay, so there's some common
Starting point is 00:10:55 ground between you guys. Yeah, I mean, we had a good time. He's very charming and a little rough on the edges, but in a way that was nice and what I liked. So if the date went really well, then why did you sound so disgusted when I brought up his name? Well, he kind of creeped me out. I mean, and not for anything that happened on the date. The date went well. I came home. I felt good. You know, went to bed.
Starting point is 00:11:19 And the next morning, I got up and logged into my Facebook, and I had a ton, like, hundreds of notifications. And I was like, what's going on? Why? And he'd gone through, like, every single profile photo that I've ever posted and liked them. So all of the notifications were him liking my photos. And they were photos I, like, swear to you to you from like the beginning of my facebook like lifetime like i mean when did facebook start this must have been from like 2006 or seven like maybe even before that like oh man anytime anybody's ever been on my thing i get a
Starting point is 00:11:57 like from like five years ago like oh that's creepy no no it's totally creepy and what's worse he didn't he didn't just stop at Facebook, though. He went to my Instagram and, like, left a few comments, too, on, like, old postings. Like, kind of in a way that seemed aggressive, almost. It was like, thank God I didn't have a Twitter account. Or, like, what would he do? His retweeting tweets from 10 years ago. I mean, you're telling me that you didn't look up all of his old pictures and Instagrams. Well, that's a good one.
Starting point is 00:12:23 I did look at photos, but I didn't, like, like him. And I did not go back to, like, the beginning of his old pictures and Instagram. Well, that's a good, I did look at photos, but I didn't like him and I did not go back to like the beginning of his Facebook profile and be like, oh, you look adorable as a 24 year old or whatever, you know, whenever Facebook started. But that's like a huge red flag to me that, I mean, whether or not he knows the etiquette. Thank you for sharing that with us, by the way. There is a difference between just looking at the photos. We know everybody, social media stocks. We know that.
Starting point is 00:12:45 There's a difference between looking at it and a difference between liking those pictures. Every single one. Every single one and old ones. I think that that is too far. You're telling me that if somebody went on your Facebook, a guy that you dated, and started liking pictures from like five years ago. And how many pictures do you have on your Facebook, Rebecca? Oh, my God. I mean like hundreds, like over a thousand for sure.
Starting point is 00:13:05 He didn't like over a thousand photos though. He liked like 600 of my normal photos. Like photos I tagged in, photos I posted, like all of my photos. Wow.
Starting point is 00:13:15 I think there was even a few events that he liked on the way. He does that. That's a lot. That must have taken him a lot of time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:23 That's even creepier. I mean that makes me want to not friend anyone ever. You know what? This might creep you out, too, because he's actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you. Let me get this straight. You don't like the fact that I like your stuff? I mean, why would you put stuff on the internet if you didn't want people to look at it and, like, comment on it? I mean, I just wanted to know more about you, you know?
Starting point is 00:13:53 I really liked you. I wanted a little background on you, you know? I mean, is, like, 600 of my photos, like, enough background? Like, how much background did you need? Like, did you need to go back to what I looked like in 2006 and like enjoy that moment of my life? Like, I never assumed that someone was going to go back and like every photo and leave comments. Like, I mean, Chuck, you found a photo of me when I was 24 and blonde and posted something like hey blonde bombshell I mean like you posted that
Starting point is 00:14:28 on that like why would you do that it's true you were a blonde bombshell I wasn't lying forgive me for thinking that you were attractive at age 24 but don't you think that's weird like you posting on these
Starting point is 00:14:43 photos from I mean on my Instagram, too. Like, how long did it take you to do that? You sifted through 600 photos at least. I mean, were you up all night? Well, I don't really sleep very much, so I was just up online, you know, and just sifting through photos. Oh, my God. Does that not creep anyone else out? Like, am I alone in this?
Starting point is 00:15:06 I kind of still think that he's likable and that you should give him a chance. I know that sounds crazy and I know it's really creepy, but he really doesn't sound like he gets it. Like, Chuck, do you just not understand how social media works? Well, apparently I don't. I mean, if you're not supposed to like things, I mean, why is there a like button if you're not supposed to use it? I wouldn't put that there. I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Because you're supposed to use it sparingly, Chuck. Use the like button like a precision sniper. One shot, right? You don't just go through with a semi-automatic weapon and just blow a bunch of likes across somebody's Facebook page. It's going to creep them out. I thought it was a nice thing, you know? I mean, if somebody went through my photos
Starting point is 00:15:50 and liked them or commented on them, I would be really flattered. I mean, that's why they're up there, so people can enjoy them. I was surprised that Rebecca didn't like any of my photos. I mean, I looked at your photos, but I didn't go any of my photos. I mean, I looked
Starting point is 00:16:06 at your photos, but I didn't go through and like them all. It's so creepy. I don't know. Creepy? Or is he just more honest than any of us? Because at least he admits that he went through and stalked it instead of pretending like he didn't.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Rebecca, I would love to ask if you'll go on a second date with Chuck. We'll pay for it. I promise I won't like you. And then I'll go back, and I'll stay up all night, and I'll unlike all the sodas if you want. That makes you feel better. I mean, I did have a really good time.
Starting point is 00:16:45 That totally creeped me out, but maybe you are just more honest than the rest of us with our Facebook stalking. Okay, so you'll go out with Chuck again? I think, yes, I think I'll go out with Chuck. Yes! Way to go, Chuck! Congratulations, Chuck, you got your second date now i want to point out you you did get a date by a girl going i guess i'll take it all right whatever it is you'll take it a win's a win
