Hi, I'm Ed Zitron, host of the Better Offline podcast. And this January, we're going to go on the road to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada, to cover the Consumer Electronics Show, tech's biggest conference. Better Offline CES coverage won't be the usual rundown of the hottest gadgets or biggest trends, but an unvarnished look at what the tech industry plans to sell or do to you in 2025.

I'll be joined by David Roth of Defector and the writer Edward Ongueso Jr. With guest appearances from Behind the Bastards Robert Evans, It Could Happen Here's Gare Davis, and a few surprise guests throughout the show. Listen to Better Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts from. Moving 92.5. Brook and Jubal in the morning. Second date update. Remember, if you want a second date update, all you have to do is email us, brookandjubal at moving925.com. We will call the person that didn't call you back.

We've got Martin on the phone with us. We just spoke with him about the date that he went on with a girl named Joanne. They went downtown, had Thai food, rode the Ferris wheel. He doesn't understand why she isn't calling him back. It sounds to me, Martin, like you're not over the long relationship

that you got out of a five years. Well, you know. I just think, Martin, you sound kind of boring a little bit. I mean, there's just not a lot of inflection in his voice. I was trying to give him a valid reason that maybe it was in order. Some constructive feedback. Anybody else want to pile on? Do you think Martin might be ugly?

I don't know. Martin, I think you're a great human being. You know what I meant, right, Martin? Sometimes it's hard to have perspective on oneself. Martin's going to do the second date update. Now he's just going to have horrible insecurity issues. All I meant was he's monotone. That's all I meant.

All right. Martin, we're going to call Joanne right now. Get her on the phone and get your second date update, okay? I'm going to get so much hate text for that. While we call her, I just want you to say some confident things to yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel better. I apologize for piling on. Hello?

Hi, can I speak to Joanne, please? Hi. How are you? Good, can I speak to Joanne, please? Hi. How are you? Good, how are you? I'm good. Do you know who this is? No, not at all. You're like the most friendly person I've ever spoke to. Hi.

This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. I'm moving 92.5 at the radio station. Oh. okay. Why are you calling? You were going on a date with a guy named Martin a little while ago? Yeah, I went on one date with Martin. Oh, that's interesting. Because we do a segment on our show called the Second Date Update.

It's where if you go on a date with someone and then blow them off, they email us to ask why you haven't called them back. So Martin emailed us about you. It is kind of weird. We started off this phone call so happy and peppy. Come on, Joanne. I'm just so confused. He emailed us and said that you guys met through a mutual friend.

You went downtown, had some sushi, rode the Ferris wheel, and had, in his opinion a fun time and then you parted ways and he hasn't heard from you since okay that's definitely not how the date went and clearly his memory is not ringing true because he was talking about his ex-girlfriend the whole time about you know he dated for five years he doesn't know how to date clearly and then like towards the end of the night we were like on the fairs well and he's like you know let's talk about what we could change let's see what could we change about each other and he's like i would change your nose your nose looks like a dolphin's nose. It's long.

It's pointy. And then he starts going on about how he would take a little off my butt, just a little bit, like five pounds. But other than that, it would be perfect. And I could not get out of that date fast enough. He actually said he would take five pounds off of you? Yeah. That is... That's terrible. Joanne, Martin's on the phone with us right now. I was just kidding

around. I mean, I get... I say stupid stuff when I get nervous. If you're on a first date with someone, you shouldn't be tearing them apart and saying what you would change about them. You should be complimenting them. I don't even know you. Yeah. Martin, say something for yourself, dude. You look really bad right now. Yeah. Every girl that's ever dated Jose That is true I can see they show up to Jose's door

Hey you gotta look like a dolphin with your big nose there He only comments on big boobs What are you guys talking about I mean she doesn't need to lose I mean can't she see that she looks great No Why do I have to tell her she looks great She should know she looks great

Do you believe any of his crap right now No I don't even know why I'm on the phone looks great. Did Joanne... Do you believe any of his crap right now? No, I don't even know why I'm on the phone. Yeah. Well, seriously. Clearly, I didn't want to call you

back for a reason. Um, Jubal, question. Am I the only guy that says stupid stuff when I get nervous? Uh, no.

I think guys do that. I think a lot of people do that. I think girls say stupid stuff when they're nervous, too. I do, however, think a lot of people do that. I think girls say stupid stuff when they're nervous, too. Absolutely.

I do, however, think that most guys, nervous, drunk, stupid, everything, know never to tell a woman she should lose five pounds. Yeah! Whether you've been on the first date or 20 years of marriage. I don't even have alcohol as an excuse. Okay. But I get what you're saying, man. I mean, I understand you can be nervous and they're trying to be funny and cute and go like, let's play a little game. It didn't work out in your favor. Why wouldn't you take the game to like what you love about each other?

I feel like that would be creepy, though, on a first date. Like, I'm going to tell you everything that I like about you. It would be an improvement. That's all I'm saying. Why don't, Martin, you tell her what you really think of her right now and be as specific as you were before when you were negative. Okay. Like, if I didn't think you were beautiful and cool, after dinner I would have said, okay, well, thanks, that was great, bye, but I think you're beautiful. How about I just make it easy for you?

I'm just not interested There it is There it is folks Joanne I want to play a little game with you right now If I could change One thing about you It would be that you would give Martin a second chance

Is there any chance that you would go out with him again No thank you I'm sorry We'll pay for it We'll pay for the date. No, I'm no, no, I'm good. Thanks. She's probably calling plastic surgeons after this date to try to get her nose fixed because

he made her so self-conscious. You just called Martin boring a little while ago, too. Well, I wish I would have said worse after I heard what he lays into people with. All right, Joanne, thank you. Thanks. Have a good day. Martin? Yeah? You got your answer. Yeah, have a good day. Martin? Yeah? You got your answer.

Yeah, I need to work on editing. I'll give you some advice. Figure out a go-to move when you get nervous. The what would I change about your game? Forget that one. Yeah. Because that clearly is not a good move. Alright, yeah, I agree. I got it, dude.

I got the game for you when you get nervous. Yeah, what is it? What do you got? You sit there and you go, let's play a game. I'm going to point out all the other girls in the room I'd rather do than you. Flag, how do you make it work? Broken Jubal in the morning. I actually feel bad for Martin. It's Broken Jubal in the morning. I'm moving 92.5.

If you didn't hear the second date update that we just played for you, Martin, when I was a girl named Joanne. He got really nervous. He just got out of a five-year relationship. It's the first date he's been on in six months. It's the third date he's been on. Don't give him too much credit. I feel like he's just not very good at dating and he's heartbroken.

But he decided to play a little game with his date called What Would We Change About Each Other? Because he was nervous, he said. So many texts came in just ripping the guy. One of the texts at 78592 says, OMG, this guy sounds like Jose at Butchering Dates. God, I was scared of that. That was my favorite. Even Jose wouldn't go into telling a girl that she needs to lose five pounds.

That was the one that got me. Just talk about how nice her boobs are. No matter how nervous you are, why would you ever say that? Jenny, you thought that Martin was funny, though? I thought he was hilarious. I think that girl, was her name Joanna? I think she needs to calm down. He compared her nose to a dolphin and

told her she needed to drop some pounds. I mean, you honestly would laugh at that? What? I think he was obviously joking. If the girl was gorgeous, she needs to get some self-confidence. They're on a freaking Ferris wheel, for Christ's sake. Right, you sit on that thing for quite a while.

It's like a 20-25 minute ride. Yeah, you're on a Ferris wheel, you can say whatever you want. I didn't know that that's the rule. I always figured it was alcohol, kind of like you can use an excuse. Hey, sorry, I was on a Ferris wheel. I didn't mean to tell you to put the fork down. I don't think Martin tell you to put the fork down. I don't

think Martin's a bad guy. He sounds clueless. He doesn't sound like he's malicious. He maybe needs some professional dating help. That's what I would say. What I don't understand is how can a man be with a woman for five years and still not know to not go to the weight

area? What was his girlfriend doing for five years if not training him? Well, Martin is single now. For a reason. For a reason, I think. If you want a second date update, all you have to do is email us,
