If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best. Yeah. Like you didn't know it. A.K.A. I'm crazy. But anyway, Russell, who's on the phone for a second date update today, definitely met the girl that he wants to call at his worst. I think actually they were probably both at their worst.

What? Really? I read your email, Russell, and the one thing that I thought was hilarious is how you guys met. Yeah, yeah, that was a good story. I've never met anybody like that before. I can't wait to hear it. What happened? We both actually met at a slurping machine

in a 7-Eleven. Oh, already the romance. Yeah, yeah, it was great. Not what I expected for the day, but we were both super hungover. We both had crazy nights the night before, and we were just like, I need a Slurpee. I think that's the only time I really have Slurpees anymore. I feel like I should try those as hangover cures from now on. You can actually drink with them too, just so you know. Okay, let's slow it down. So what happened to the Slurpee machine?

Like, you bumped into each other, and it was like one of those rom-coms? So we were both craving these Slurpees, and the Slurpee machine was broken. Oh, man. So we talked to the guy working there, and he said, I'll be right back. I just need the right parts to fix this. I don't know how a Slurpee machine works. So we were waiting there for a little while, and'll be right back. I just need the right parts to fix this. I don't know how a sleeping machine works. We were waiting there for a little while, and we just started talking. We started up a conversation, and we both just talked about our crazy nights.

She seemed pretty cool. I mean, she was cute. We just decided to hang out. She was cute with last night's makeup still on. Well, you know, some guys were into that. Yeah. And you probably had last night's makeup still on too, so it didn't really matter.

Exactly. Both of them are worse. All right, so what did you guys do when you went out? Like on your actual, or was this the actual date? No, well, I guess this was the first date, if you count Slurpees. But we decided to go on a bike ride around the city. Oh, not the same day you're

hungover did you no no no we both had to sober up for that yeah that's an awesome date yeah right you know you get exercise you get to see the town totally there's something to talk about your blood's pumping everything is looking good how did it go well the date went really well we talked a lot there was one point this was actually something that was funny that uh happened there was a mailman and he got out of his truck and he didn't see us coming oh no so she missed him she went right by him i was aimed straight for him and i had to break just immediately my tire went up, and he just was so scared. He laid down on the ground, and he was just frozen.

He just laid down? He was like accepting his fate? He just saw his life flash before his eyes. Oh, wow. What happened? Did you crash? Did you run into him? No, just missed him by a hair.

That's awkward. It's almost like you'd rather hit him if he's laid down expecting you to hit him, just missed him by a hair oh that's awkward it's almost like you'd rather hit him if he's laid down expecting you to hit him and then you stop short it's kind of well it's stop short it's weird it's like okay who moves first now i felt bad for the guy yeah but anyway we're talking about it and she was like oh you're such a nice guy you know you didn't hit that guy you you were paying attention and you know so i was great. You know, she looks at me as this really nice guy because I didn't hit this mailman with my bike. Also, oh, great, that's where her standards are. You just have to not run over a mailman, and you're a hero in her book.

That's what I'm thinking. Like, it takes so little to be a nice person these days. Yeah, so I had it made. I was in. At least I thought, you know. And so we went out to lunch after that, and we talked. We had had a great time so why isn't she calling you back if it was so wonderful that's the part that I don't I don't know I have no idea I texted her a couple days later and I said hey I had a great time would you like to get

together again and she said please don't ever contact man. She's not only not calling you back, she's aggressively saying, don't talk to me. Exactly. So I have no idea why. So now we're going to call her. Okay, great. Do you have any idea why she would be so, like, adamant? Yeah. I have no idea. The date went really well, I thought.

Yeah. And I even texted her like why Like what's wrong And did she respond Not after that no Are you like some known felon And she did a google search And found out all your horrible past

Not that I know of Maybe we'll find out that you do have a criminal record And you didn't even know it We could We're going to play a song come back And then call her and get your second date update, okay? Great. I really appreciate it. Yeah, man.

Hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Second date update. Will today's second date update end with Russell getting another chance at love or being solo or with all of us getting restraining order. I'm going to go with number three because the girl we're about to call sent

Russell a text saying, please don't contact me. So Russell, I am excited for the no contact order and restraining order. I've had a goal in my life to at least get one of those and we might get both here. Yeah. Let's dream big. Just to remind everybody, Russell met a girl named Dana at the seven 11. one of those, and we might get both here. Hey! Yeah, let's dream big. All right. Just to remind everybody,

Russell met a girl named Dana at the 7-Eleven. They were both hungover getting Slurpees, and then they started a conversation, decided to go on a bike ride, and then they had lunch, and according to him, other than almost running over a mailman with his bike, nothing bad happened, but after the date,

he texted her asking if she wanted to go out again, and that's what she said, don't contact me anymore. So we're going to contact her. That's how we're going to do it. Guys, are you sure you want to do this? I want to know. I want to get to the bottom of this. And, like, is your goal to go out again, or is it just to find out the problem?

I'm more concerned about what the problem was. A second date, yeah, maybe, but, you know, I want to know what went wrong. Yeah, if you have no idea and her reaction is that strong, maybe you're doing something on dates that is not cool and you don't even realize it. Exactly. And I need to know. I think she found something online that was bad about you. I mean, that is a possibility.

Was there stuff online that's bad about you? Yeah, what? No, here's the thing. My ex is not a good person. and we had a really bad breakup, and I'm wondering, like, maybe there's a possibility she talked to her somehow. I don't know. Okay. Okay, see?

Find out. I'm going to dial her phone number right now. Here we go. Okay, let's do it. Hello? Hi, may I speak to dana please yes is this dana dana hello hi yeah yeah hey dana how are you this is jubal from the radio show brook and jubal in the morning. Are you okay? Dana, are you okay? Do we need to call somebody? Hello? I'm here.

Who are you? Jubal from Brooke and Jubal in the morning. It's a radio show. And I'll just cut to the chase real quick. We do a segment on our show. It's called

The Second Date Update. That's where if you go out on a date with somebody and they end up not calling you back after, we'll call that person and find out what happened. So you went out

with a dude named Russell not too long ago Oh my god. No no I don't want anything to do with him. Okay. Well we know no no Dana We know we know we know that you don't want anything to do with him because you sent him a text message telling him that But Russell's really confused at what he did. That's the problem. I just don't want anything to do with him That was a serious reaction though. Are you like scared of him? I don't know why like he doesn't take no for an answer want anything to do with him that was a serious reaction though are you like scared of him i don't know why like he doesn't take no for an answer i just like i don't want i i don't agree with you know dana here's the thing he will take no for an answer if you can give us a reason he's just confused because according to him your date was awesome and there was nothing wrong and then

right after you seemed like you were pissed at him. So he just wants to know what's up. Well, look, yes, the date was good. But, like, the really good ones always turn out, you know, like, rotten in the end. Okay, this is my guess. You found something online about this guy. He swears that he's not a convicted felon or something. No, I didn't have to go online. He flat out told me. He told you that he's a convicted felon or something. No, I didn't have to go online. He flat out told me.

He told you that he's a convicted felon? No, it's like way worse than that. Worse than a convicted, like than a felony? He's not a convicted felon. He's currently a felon, just not. He's running amok. Yeah, he's at large. Okay, we're joking, but what could be worse than that?

Yeah. I'm surprised that you don't already know since you say you already talked to him. We did, but he sounded pretty normal. And his description of your date sounded pretty normal. I mean, if anything, you don't obviously owe this guy anything. But if you told us we could get the word out to other people who may go out with him. That actually would be helpful.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so what is it about Russell that makes him so evil? Look, he told me just, you know, casually that he works with nuclear weapons and he takes them all around the country and I don't know if he manufactures them and he works with nuclear weapons somehow and, you know,, I'm 100% against mass destruction, and I can't, I just can't. I'm sorry. I don't know a lot about the nuclear weapon game,

but I don't think you could just travel around the country and sell them. I haven't met a traveling nuclear bomb salesman yet. It's not a vacuum. Well, he'll tell you if you keep talking to him. He'll just tell you. I mean, okay, wait, hold on, though. I mean, that's great that you're anti-war pro-peace, but why wouldn't you just tell him that? It's a first date.

He flat out tells me. I don't agree with it. Like, why can't I just leave? Like, get the hell out of there. Okay, so that's what you did. And are you sure he's, like, selling nuclear weapons? He told me. He said those words himself.

That he sells nuclear weapons. I don't know exactly, like, if he sells them, if he makes them, if he promotes them, I don't know, but he said nuclear weapons, and I'm out. I know a good way to find out, Dana, because Russell is actually on the other line listening to this conversation

right now and wants to talk to you. Excuse me? Dana, this is Russell. Oh my God. What are you talking about nuclear weapons? Nobody told me that he was on the other alert. I know. I told you I didn't want anything to do with him. I have a bad memory. I have such a bad memory. I'm sorry, Dana. Dana, what are you talking about nuclear weapons?

Russell, you said that you work with nuclear weapons. I heard the words come out of your mouth. Wait, wait. Back up for a second. I don't know what you're talking about, nuclear weapons. Where did you get this idea? From you.

You said it. I work for a marketing company. What are you talking about? What? You work for a marketing company? And you guys sell nukes? What? That's an intense marketing plan.

Either you guys had a really big miscommunication, or you're doing something on the side that you're not coming clean about right now, Russell. I work for a PR company. We go around and we shop to companies to expand their markets, whatever they do. That's a complete and total lie. You are changing your story. You're making it sound because we're talking to these people, but I heard you. The words came out of your mouth. You work for this

company. It's like nuclear ideas. You take them places. I don't know all the small, little, tiny details about it. All I need to know is that you work with nuclear things, okay? And that that is not okay with me. What? This is a huge misunderstanding.

The name of my company is called New Clear Ideas. Like three words? Wait, did you say new clear? Like as in brand new and not vague? Yes, exactly. Oh, my God. New space clear. Dana, are you still there?

Yes. Did you hear that? Yes, I heard him again. He said nuclear. Wait, are you still there? Yes. No way. Did you hear that? Yes, I heard him again. He said nuclear. Wait, do you not believe him? It's nuclear ideas. Yes, nuclear ideas. No, no, no.

Like, you buy a brand new car, and the water's so clear. Yes. Dana, it's not nuclear as in bombs. It's new, clear ideas. Oh, my God. We propose new ideas that are clear to companies. Oh, my God, Dana. I can't believe it.

So you don't work with bombs? No, not in the slightest. I agree with you. I don't like war. I don't support that. I don't do anything involved with that at all. Oh, my God, Dana, what are you feeling right now? I feel like he needs to, like, pronounce his words better.

I don't think this one's on him. I feel like you probably should have known he wasn't talking about bombs based on subject matter. Oh, my God. It's so far out there. Oh, I feel so sheepish. You were so fired up. I'm embarrassed. Are you sure, Russell?

You really don't work with war stuff? I don't work with war stuff, Dana. I'm 150% positive. Oh, my God. I feel so stupid right now. It's okay. Dana, would you like to go out with Russell on a second date? We will pay for it.

He will not. Now that you know he's not making nuclear bombs in his basement or whatever. Yeah. I mean, that was the only thing. I mean, it was a pretty big thing, except it's not real. Yeah. I don't think nuclear bomb salesmen are really, like, not a profession. Yeah.

I mean, when he said it, I knew it sounded stupid, but I should have asked more questions, but I just jumped to a conclusion. Okay, so Russell, you want to go on another date with her? You know what? In the beginning of all this, I would have said yes. What? You learn a lot about someone on a first date. What? And I've learned even more after this experience about her temperament and communication skills.

So I don't think it's a good idea. What? So we got you a second date, and now you're turning it down. After this, yeah. Now that's the bomb that I didn't expect. What are you doing? After all that. after this yeah it was just the overreaction was was fierce it was clearly a mistake listen we can be friends but I just don't think it's a good idea for me to be matched up with you on a romantic level. I just don't see it.

Wow. Okay. That's an awkward ending, isn't it? It is. I don't even know what to say. Dana, thank you for your time. Yeah, I guess mistakes happen, but... Yep.

Alright. Sorry, guys sorry guys no it's fine russell way to bring the mood down though brook and jubel in the morning text in at 78592 it says russell dodged a bullet correction he dodged a nuclear bomb oh gosh it's bro It's Brooke and Jubal in the morning talking about the second date update. If you missed it, this dude, Russell, wanted to call Dana. They went out on a date. Everything seemed fine. After the date, though,

she texted him and said, never contact me again. So, of course, he did the right thing. Had us contact her for a second date update. But we got to the bottom of the problem. She is against war and all things war.

And she thought Russell was somebody who sold nuclear weapons. But Russell works for a company called New Clear Ideas. And she heard nuclear ideas. And that's why she said never contact me because she thought he was some sort of international arms dealer or something. I could see where the name sounds like nuclear. I get that. Yeah. But why wouldn't you have a further conversation?

I mean, if someone told you that they were dealing with nuclear bombs, I'd have all sorts of questions. I definitely would want to find out more about that. Even if I was against it, I'd be like, whoa, I've never met somebody who goes door to door and sells nuclear bombs before. In the end, Russell decided not to go out with her because he thought that was kind of weird that she didn't realize it was nuclear and not nuclear. And the way that she reacted saying never contact me again. I think she was all upset. He decided not to go out with her again. Jump to conclusion was a little bit much.

Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. Remember, if you want to do a second date update, all you have to do is email the show and we will call the person who didn't call you back. Move at 92.5.
