Ruck and Jubels, second date update. I don't know how many times I've been out looking for a new pair of pants at my favorite store, Hot Topic.

And after the girl that's working there measures my inseam, she's like, hey, you want to go out? It happens so often. And that's what happened today in our second date update. Ramona apparently works in the mall and she met a dude while he was shopping for some pants. I'm guessing it went down exactly how it always goes down when I look for pants.

Right, Ramona? Okay, I did not measure his inseam. Okay, whatever. Tell us a little bit about the guy that you want to call today. What's his name? His name is John. John, and your email said that you met him while he was shopping in your store at the mall? Yeah, and he was shopping for pants, but I didn't measure him.

Did you hit on him or did he hit on you? I kind of had didn't measure him. Did you hit on him, or did he hit on you? I kind of had to hit on him. He's really shy, which I liked. He was like, clearly he had no idea what he was doing. He does not shop for himself. He didn't even know what size he was. So he needed a lot of

help, and that was kind of fun. I mean, I felt attracted to him right away. What attracted you to him right away? Well, okay, he's really good looking. So there's that. And I like the way that he didn't hit on me. I'm so used to guys coming in there and I must get hit on like 25 times a day in that store. And like he was really there to buy pants.

And I kind of dug it. Wait a second. You actually just want clothes? That is so weird. Get out of my store. Get out. Yeah, no, I like him. You sound like you still really like him. I kind of really like him.

How did you ask him out? I didn't ask him out. I just kept trying to get his attention. So I just kept dropping hints. What kind of hints? You know, like, I would say, oh, no, those aren't good. Why don't you try these? And I would pick the ones on the bottom shelf on purpose

so I would have to bend over to sort through them. I knew it. I knew that every single time a girl bends down to pick up something, she's trying to taunt me. That is not true. And tempt me with her backside. I knew it. I don't know.

I think that might be true. If a girl is not trying to taunt you, she'll probably squat. Did he pick up on your signals? He went to check out, and when he was leaving already, I sort of went up to him, and I said, oh, I'm glad you got those. And I took the receipt out of the bag, and I wrote my number on it, and I said, you know, if you have any problems with the pants, here's my personal number.

You can always call me. All right, that's a good sign. Imagine that, though, if he calls you and he really does actually just have a problem with the pants. You're all excited when you pick up the phone. You're like, oh, my God, it's him. And he's like, yeah, so remember those pants? There's a little fraying on the end. Can I bring them back in?

And then knowing me, I'd probably fall for him harder. Yeah, right? Oh my god, he still doesn't like me. So, obviously, he used the phone number. Did he just call you right away or text you right away and ask you out? Yeah, he texted me a few hours later, like, do you want to have a drink after work? And I was like, yeah, I'm off in like

half hour. Oh my god, you were freaking out, weren't you? I mean, kind of, but I was also kind of happy that it was like right then and I didn't have time to freak out really. It made me feel relaxed that we were going like right away. So did you guys go to the food court then? You work in a mall. Where'd you guys meet up for drinks? No, we did. We left and we went across the way to a restaurant and bar. It was like happy hour coming up. So we sat and we talked for like a half hour until happy hour hit.

And then we just got some drinks and it was so fun. First of all, he totally loosened up after I got a drink in him. Really? He was like chit chatty. We talked about like everything. It was so nice. Like I had such a good time. And how did your date end with him?

Okay, this is where it gets a little weird, and I don't know what happened, and I've been— Well, okay, I'll just tell you. So after about an hour and a half, and we had had a couple drinks, and I really thought we were having fun, he says, So I'm having a really good time, and I hate to do this, but I really got to go because I got to get up early for work in the morning. Okay. And it was 6.30 at night. Yeah, that's a little early.

What do you mean? Right? It's not like it was 9.30 or 10.30 because even then I would have thought, okay, that's a little early, but 6.30? Yeah, but maybe he knew like if you guys continued to hang out, like, it's more drinks, you know, it does end up being a long night. Yeah, but if I would have done it, like, if he liked me, wouldn't he have, well, whatever. And then he gives me a hug, goodbye, no kiss, just a hug.

Yeah. Then I got home and I texted him. I had a really good time, he responded immediately like, me too. So great to meet you. Awesome. And I was like, great, we should do this again. And his response was like,

yeah, I'd love to. And then I never heard from him again. And that was it? And that was it. And that was four days ago. Weird. So yesterday I texted him, hey, how are the pants? because i thought it would be funny or

whatever and i thought maybe it would make him respond nothing not word one and so now i'm embarrassed that i even sent that text and i'm like racking my brain like did i talk too much or like did i say something dumb like i don't know i don't know i'm like, he asked me out, so he likes the way I, we spent a little time together in the store. So it's not the way I look. It's not the way I smell. It's not, you know what I mean? You've really thought this out.

There's a lot of scenarios playing out in your head right now. Four days. What's that? Four days and you're going a million miles an hour. She likes it. Well, play a song. Come back. Call him and get your second date update,

all right? Okay, thank you. Brooke and Jubal in the morning, second date update. If you're just tuning in for the second date update, Ramona is on the phone

with us, and today she wants to call a guy named John. They met at the mall. She works there. He came into her store to buy some pants, and then she slid him

her number, and he texted her later, and they had a happy hour together. It great and then the date ended and he's not calling her back so her happy hour has turned into sadness hour where you go out and from five to seven at a bar they serve you nothing but empty glasses no beverages to enjoy empty plates where appetizers should be, just a napkin and sadness. It's sadness hour for Ramona right now. But we're going to call John and hopefully get him on the phone

and find out if there's a chance to salvage what they once had. Ramona, are you ready to see if you can get your happy hour back? I am. Are you tired of sadness hour? I am tired of sadness hour. I got it. We're about to dial his phone number right now and see what went wrong. Again, Ramona has no idea what could have gone wrong on the date.

She said everything seemed to be fine. The weird thing was at about 6.30 after happy hour was over, he said he had to leave so he could get up early for work and then hasn't talked to her really since. Not a word. I don't think it's going to be that bad. I have hope for you. It's only been four days.

He could just have been busy or lost his phone or something stupid. Oh, my God. From your mouth to God's ears. She's like, please. Here I go. Dial the phone number right now and get him on the phone. Hello? Hey, can I speak to John, please?

Speaking. Who is this? John, how are you? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. What? This is Jubal from

Brook and Jubal in the Morning. It? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. It's a radio show. I, uh... Wow, I... Okay. It's nice to meet you. Yeah, yeah, nice to meet you, too. Why are you calling me?

I'm actually calling you because one of our listeners recently sent in an email and asked if we could get you on the phone to ask a few questions about something. Huh. That's the best response. Her name is Ramona, and you met her at the mall. Oh, boy. Wow. Yeah, I remember meeting Ramona.

Okay. Do you remember going to happy hour with her after? Yeah. Okay. Well, Ramona sent us an email telling us about how she met you and how she really enjoyed happy hour with you. But since then, you haven't texted or called her back. So she was wondering if we could get you on the phone and find out if something went wrong during happy hour or if there's a reason why you're not calling her back. She's a really nice girl she's pretty attractive too um oh that's a good review pretty she's pretty attractive i mean she's on the okay scale i mean she is you know i just don't want to say anything bad about her behind her back, you know? Okay, so there is a reason that you're not calling her back.

Yeah, there's a thing. Okay, well, here's how it works. So she emailed us because she wanted us to call you and find out why you're not calling her back. So you're really not talking behind her back if you could just tell us what the reason is so that we can, you know, go back to her and say, hey, this is what happened. I don't know. I just hate the feeling that, like, I might be saying something about her behind her back. No, trust me.

Trust me, you're not saying anything about her behind her back. I promise. Okay. So we're talking. We're having some drinks. We're having a pretty good time, and somewhere in the middle of it, I got this red flag. And it just kind of made me skeptical, and so I kind of just decided against the whole thing. Okay, well, what was the red flag?

So we were talking, and I just happened to bring up the topic of pets. I asked her if she had any any pets and uh she says yeah you know she's got a dog named i think chloe like oh cool cool right on and uh then she says yeah and and a son-in-law clifton did you say a son-in-law yeah yeah exactly like stay with me stay with me okay yeah i'm confused she says son-in-law and so i i stopped her i was like wait i i was kind of just asking about you know pets and she was oh no no no uh uh clifton's my dog like wait i thought you said that clifton was your son-in-law she goes he is? And so she pulls

out her phone, and I thought she was just gonna show me pictures of the dog, but she shows me this picture, the dog's in a tuxedo, with the bow and the tails and everything, and she's showing me pictures of her dog's wedding to another dog.

So she has her dog that's married to another dog, and she calls that dog her son-in-law yes and she and and and she shows he's scrolling through she's showing me pictures of like this dog wedding cake like they had a whole elaborate wedding for it yeah Yeah. Like, wait, like, nobody does this, you know? And it was a huge red flag. Like, I saw this and I kind of went, hmm, nah.

Hey, that's kind of weird. It's kind of weird. I'll give you that. But why is that a reason to not give her a second chance at a date? Think of the type of person that would arrange a dog wedding. Point taken. Point taken. Point taken, John. I guess I can understand where you're coming from a little bit.

Yeah, I just really didn't think we would be a very good match. Don't you think that she was just using it as a fun excuse to have a silly party, though? I don't know, man. The pictures look pretty serious. I've seen wedding pictures that look kind of like these dog pictures look. I mean, seriously, she referred to her dog as her son-in-law. Yeah. I should also tell you, John, that she's actually on the line listening and wants to talk to you. Hi, John.

Hi, Ramona. Okay, first of all, it's not like he's really my son-in-law. He's my dog-in-law. I just call him my son-in-law like I call Chloe my daughter. It's not like I'm crazy. It's not like I think he's a person. I know he's a dog. I just love him like a person.

Oh, boy. I just can't believe it's such a big deal to you, and I can't believe you didn't talk to me about it. I mean, tons of people do it. It's all over the place. Where? It's not that uncommon. Are dog weddings common, Ramona?

Of course. I've been to three. What? You've not been to three dog weddings? Yes, I have. Is it your own dog, like, getting divorced and getting remarried, or is it three different dogs? I have been to three dog weddings. Yes, I have. Is it your own dog getting divorced and getting remarried or is it three different dogs? I have been to three dog weddings,

including mine, so that's three all together. It's such a fun thing to do and plus it makes them family. They're living creatures and it's sort of everybody treats their dog like, oh, that's my daughter anyway.

But this is like, this is my family. I love, come on. Yikes. Yikes. Yeah, see, this is why I didn't want to go out with you. I mean, it's absolutely fine if you feel that way about your dogs. It's just I can't really be a part of that at all. I mean, it's not i can't really be a part of that at all i mean it's not

like i'm into it like my friend's dog clifton is like the best and he's perfect for her he's like a year older than her he's a little bigger than her they're perfect together wait wait here's the thing i don't care about any of that stuff you know when, when I have a dog, the dog is just a dog. It's there. I don't have to feel like, you know, I... I just am shocked, honestly. I'm really surprised

to hear this come out of your mouth. This is not at all the person that took me out for that drink. Ramona, look, it's not the fact that you did that for your dog. I'm ecstatic that you did that for your dog.

Trust me. Are you? Because you don't sound ecstatic. But it's not. The thing is, is that you went through all of that for the dog. All right? I'm glad you feel that way for it. For you to put that much effort into a party for your dog, like, we're just not compatible.

Maybe you're right. Because if you don't care about living creatures and about dogs and family, then maybe we're not right. Maybe you're right. You're right. I'm wrong. Well, let me ask John first, Ramona. John, would you like to go out on a second date with Ramona? We will pay for it.

Say no. I don't want to go out with you anyway. Whoa! Oh, Ramona. I don't. What a snob.. What a snob. You're a snob. You're going to tell me how I should spend my money and you don't

have love in your life? No. I'm actually weirdly on her side on all of this. Really? Yeah. Thank you. I absolutely love that you do that, Ramona. I really do. I love that you love dogs. I love them too, but I'm just not going to do that.

All right. I'm not the type of person that does that. John, thank you for your time. I appreciate it. Type of person. Ramona, thank you for doing the second date update. Oh, sweet girl. I'm sure you'll find somebody else that's as into their dog as you are eventually.

Thank you. I do love you guys. I wish that, listen, if there's another failed second date update and you think I'm right for him, set me up with him. Thank you. I do love you guys. I wish that, listen, if there's another fail, second date update and you think I'm right for him, set me up with him. I will. I'll hook you up.

And Ramona, in the meantime, a thing that not many people know about me, if there is any infidelity in that dog marriage, I do dog divorces. So hit me up, okay?

Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Text in at 78592 that says, that guy's an a-hole. I've been to a lot of dog weddings and they're really sweet. It's Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Text in at 78592 that says, that guy's an a-hole. I've been to a lot of dog weddings, and they're really sweet. It's Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Talking, of course, about today's second date update.

Yeah. This girl Ramona wanted to call a guy named John to see why he wasn't calling her back after they had a date. He wasn't calling her back because during their date, she kept showing him pictures of her dog and the wedding that she had for it and referring to the other dog as her son-in-law.

Yeah. And she was really into dog weddings. Apparently, she's been to three of them and it just creeped him out. He's like a little too attached to your dog, so he didn't want to date her. I don't know. I think it's kind of judgy, you know? It doesn't affect him. Just because she loves her dog

and she's having some fun parties, maybe you can get in and get some free alcohol and free food on the side. There's a difference between, like, depreciating your dog and loving your dog and then loving your dog

a little too much. Yeah, you have to be an extreme dog lover to date this chick, you know what I mean? Because people who go to tech sport are like, either, she's crazy, dog marriage,

are you kidding? Or it's like, give her my number. I'm all for people who like their dogs, but dog marriage are you kidding or it's like give her my number I'm all for people who like their dogs but I've been around some people who are obsessed with their dogs I used to work with a dude who his dog was sick so he slept at the bottom of the stairs

with his dog instead of in the bed with his own wife that is strange that's an obsession if you're the big spoon and the dog is a little spoon and that's what you need to do, I'm not going to judge. It's not for me. Sleeping with a dog over sleeping in bed with your wife. And that is a problem.

I'm texting in 78592. Do you agree that he shouldn't have gone out with her because she has dog weddings? Or, sorry, had a dog wedding. That will probably last forever, so congratulations to her. A lot of dog lovers are texting in at 78592 saying they want to have a dog wedding now. So maybe she started a new trend. If you want a second date update,

just email the show and we'll call the person who didn't call you back. Joel, the holidays are a blast, but the financial hangover, that can be a huge bummer.
