For today's Second Date Update, a dude named Ryan is on the phone and he went out with a girl named Lisa. And she's not talking to him after their date, which is standard for a second date update. But apparently, according to his email, she wasn't even talking to him on the date. Oh, what?

So I don't even know why he wants to call her, but we'll find out. What's up, Ryan? How are you? Hey, guys. I'm doing all right. How about you? She's not, like, mute or anything, right? She's not mute. Okay. Your email said that it was kind of an awkward date for you? Yeah, it was all set up to be perfect, but it just turned out a lot worse than I planned it to be.

How'd it get set up? Me and Lisa, we met, you know, on dating app. I believe it was Bumble. And she'd been telling me about how she had a stressful work week and I just felt like the perfect thing to do would be a massage you know who doesn't like a massage right wait are you guys in the same room getting massaged or is it separate massages well I hadn't done it before but I kind of pictured it like kind of the same room music the scents or whatever the like the smells and I don't know, clothes kind of coming off, maybe kind of romantic in that way. You know what I mean? Kind of a lot for a first date, I would think, but who knows? Did she seem to like it?

I ran it past her, and she was actually really excited about it. Oh, good. I thought so. Yeah, if she's on the same page as you, cool. Yeah, so it was set up to be something really cool. In fact, when we got there, the whole vibe that I thought it would be was in place. You know, the music, the smells and everything. It was kind of romantic.

And then we get there and the two different massage tables were set up so that we were looking at each other. That could be kind of awkward. Yeah, I was like, okay, well, we'll get a chance to kind of awkward. That's so intense. Yeah, I was like, okay, well, we'll get a chance to kind of chat. Oh, man, but talking during a massage is the worst time to talk. Even talking to the masseuse gets weird. No, I mean, I don't even want to pass like, yeah, I like it hard. That's all I want to say.

Dang, Brooke. Yeah, I mean, I have very limited massage experience, so I just thought, hey, it'll be relaxing. You know, we'll get to, you know, connect. Okay, and did that work out for you? Well, unfortunately, as I start to try and talk to Lisa, the masseuse, like, shuts us down, like, immediately. She's like, no talking. I can't do my work if there's talking.

I have to let the music guide me. I'm like, what? Okay. You got, like, the most serious masseuse. You're like yeah I'm paying for this yeah it was awkward like that's a little woo-woo let my music guide me yeah so we're just kind of like staring at each other in silence while we're getting this massage it was a little weird yeah that sounds weird i would have kept my eyes closed yeah is that all you did for your date too did you just end things after that no i mean like i tried to still uh communicate like after 15 minutes of that awkward silence i like i end up raising my hand at one point and i asked for a piece of paper from the

masseuse are you gonna write notes back and forth? Yeah, I was like, I'm going to try to at least talk to her through, you know, writing notes on paper. Well, that's persistent. That's good. So I tried that and after a while, like literally my arms were like getting tired and it was just awkward. Yeah, I got to think trying to write notes while you're getting a massage would be tough.

So then I like, I tried to mouth little questions for a while, and it was just, like, so awkward. Why did you just not give up and just be silent? Are you uncomfortable in silence? I was just trying to get to know her, you know? Like, I don't really know her that well except for, like, messaging through the app. So how did it end up? Well, like, I also bought tickets to go see a movie right next door afterwards.

So, like, we finish things up, but we're running a little late, so we scurry over to the movie, and we get there right as the last preview's ending. Another instance where you can't really talk. Oh my gosh! Yeah, like, another two hours, I'm sitting there right next to this pretty girl who I want to get to know, and I can't say

anything. This is kind of horrible date planning on your part. Terrible idea. Hey, movies are great. Massages are great. Maybe not for the first date, I guess. Not together, too. Did you guys ever talk? Well, that's the thing. After the movie, I'm like, hey, you want to go grab a

drink? I feel terrible. We didn't get to chat much, and at this point she was just like, we've already spent quite a bit of time together and I have some plans afterwards. And I was just like, oh crap. So overall you probably said five words to your date. Yeah. Hi, bye. Well, five out loud words. He mouthed a lot of words apparently during the massage. I'm guessing no kiss.

No, unfortunately. There's no way. All right. And she hasn't called you back at all after? No, she hasn't called. I've been trying to text her a little bit. She won't respond. I mean, it wasn't like we were angry at each other or anything

or something went terribly wrong. It's just I feel like she doesn't really know me and I'd just like to get another chance to show her who I am, you know? Yeah. Totally. It doesn't sound like a bad date. It just sounds incredibly awkward. Yeah.

Just bad planning, I think, is what you can chalk that one up to. So maybe you can get a second shot. I sure hope so. All right. Maybe you guys can help. We'll play a song and then come back and call her and get your second date update, okay? Cool. Thanks.

All right. Hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Second date update. Alright, hang on. I'm going to start the second part of today's second date update with a live reenactment of the date that our listener Ryan went on with his girl Lisa. Here's how it went. Hey. Hi.

Okay, bye. That was pretty much it. That was a fun five hours. Not a lot of talking and it was long too if you missed the first part of today's second date ryan went out with lisa he scheduled a couple's massage which is kind of weird for a first date but she was into it they got the massage but there was no talking during the massage so they couldn't talk then and then they had to hightail it over to a movie that they were late for, so they sat in the movie theater, didn't talk then, and then the date was over after. So they really didn't talk at all on their first date,

and now she's not responding to any of his texts or phone calls. All right, Ryan, are you ready to actually talk to Lisa? I would love to talk to Lisa. Oh, my God, yeah, I think you can do this, Ryan. I think we can get you a second date. Yeah, granted, she may have spent the entire hour-long massage regretting the decision to do it, but I think you have a shot here. Yeah, I mean, if you could, just, like, please just try your hardest because, like, she's amazing.

And I know sometimes you guys don't always try that hard. All right, we'll give it an effort. We'll at least say more than five words to her. Excellent. That'll be better than I did. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Lisa, please? This is she.

Lisa, how are you? This is Jubal from the radio show Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. Okay. You ever heard of the show before? I think I've heard it a few times. Sweet. Okay. Have you ever heard a second date update before? No.

Okay. Well, I'll describe what that is, and that's the reason I'm calling you today. We do a segment on our show called The Second Date Update. That's where if you go out on a date with somebody and then end up not talking to them after they can email us to get you on the phone and ask why any of this making sense yet. Um, good for those people, I guess. I don't. What if I told you, you are one of those people? Um, no, I didn't email you. Well, yeah, no, I know that, but somebody did email us about you. Wait, what? About me? Yeah, we got an email from a dude named Ryan.

Oh, boy. Yeah. You remember you went out with Ryan? Sure, yeah. Yeah, and I'm assuming it probably wasn't the best date you've ever been on. Yeah, I mean, it was pretty disappointing. Yeah, it sounds like it. We talked to Ryan because he emailed us. He said that you're not returning any of his phone calls. I mean, he kind of knows that it was an awkward date.

He told us about how you did the couples massage thing, you couldn't really talk, and then you went to the movie theater, couldn't really talk, and he thought the whole thing was awkward, and he wants a shot at a do-over. That's why we're calling. Okay.

I mean, it was so awkward. Well, I mean, what did you expect, though, Lisa? I will say, when he said that he even suggested a couple's massage for a first date, I mean, with a person he met on a dating app, I can't believe that you agreed to it, to be honest. We were all kind of thrown off. Yeah, I mean, I guess I kind of just assumed it was a very sweet gesture we had obviously been talking and it was a really stressful week it is a sweet gesture I

mean you still think that right yeah absolutely it means he was listening to me and he understood where I was emotionally I guess but I don't know it just still it was odd but I didn't want to just like put the kibosh on it so I was like yeah, well, if we do that, then it's going to be weird. But then, you know, then we'll go out to dinner or something and then be able to actually get to know one another. And that obviously didn't happen. He told us that you guys went to the movies and you couldn't talk there either. And then that was the end of the date. Was it worse than what he describes, though?

Because what he describes is just awkward. It was. We had to like rush to the movie. We were late after the massage. So then there was really not even talking in between the two things. So it just sounds like really bad planning. Yeah, I mean, bad planning. But I also just had this feeling like he didn't even want me to talk the entire time.

Like you think you planned it all on purpose so you wouldn't talk? I don't know, because, like, I was just trying to find ways to connect, right? Uh-huh. And so, at one point, there was, like, this cool special effects thing, so I leaned over just to be like, oh my gosh, how cool is that? Like, very quickly. Yeah. And he shushed me.

So you didn't talk beforehand, and then you're at at the movie and he actually shushed you he shushed me and then i was gonna say like i'm sorry because i did feel like an idiot because it's like okay when we're in a movie i shouldn't say anything so then i go to say sorry i just wanted to talk and he shushed me again i couldn't even apologize but maybe it's just a natural reaction like if you're sitting in a movie theater and someone's talking, because he did say that he was trying to talk to you during the massage, that he was like mouthing words to you and even attempted to write a note. But that's weird.

Like I'm not going to pass notes back and forth as I'm getting my naked body rubbed down by another stranger. There's a lot of strangers there. And it wasn't like he shushed me once. He shushed me twice. That's a lot of strangers there. And it wasn't like he shushed me once. He shushed me twice. That's a rude thing to do. Yeah, and it's weird because he said he was disappointed that he didn't get to talk to you very much.

He didn't mention that he shushed you. Yeah, it was all very confusing, honestly. Was it like an amazing movie that he was super into? He must have been, but i wasn't talking through the whole movie i was just trying to make one little i'm sorry oh thank you you know habit i guess at least i can understand why you're not calling him back then but he is on the other line and actually wants to talk to you he really does what yeah ryan's on the other line listening and wants to talk to you ryan i'm here um look the whole first thing kind of was on you i mean you did try to talk to me during the most

exciting part of the whole movie before or after like you know that's cool we can say something here or there but during like the climax of the movie come on it was almost three hours where we hadn't spoken brian that's what you're coming with is it's on you yeah it should be i'm sorry yeah well hey hearing her now like saying she was into the movie she was gonna comment on the movie i thought she was like trying to bring up something right at that point i'm like I get into movies. I'm sorry We had been in silence for hours I was just trying to establish like a little connection just a little bit I get it now and I apologize

Maybe I shouldn't have done that but like Other than that like did you like me? Did you have fun? I don't know how I'm supposed to respond to this. How would I know if I liked you? Other than the fact that you told her to shut up. Like, you know, just like the vibes that were coming off of me, that you were giving me, like the chemistry that we had, like the way that you were looking at me and the way I was looking back at you.

I know you had to feel some of what I was feeling. I feel like, I guess I'm confused because we barely looked at each other either because my face was down for the massage in a hole, and then we're at a movie looking at a screen. Well, I mean, when I was mouthing the words, you were looking back at me when I was trying to mouth the words. Yeah, no, you're right. When you were mouthing words to me, I was very excited and turned on by that,

trying to figure out what you were trying to mouth. Perfect. No, I think she's joking, Ryan. I don't think she's serious about that. I mean, Ryan, at first you sounded like a sweet dude, and now you sound like a guy who just doesn't get it and maybe didn't want her to talk. I don't know, a little pushy.

No, look, like, that's not it. Like, I totally wanted her to talk. Like, we were just in a pushy. No, look, like, that's not it. Like, I totally wanted her to talk. Like, we were just in a bad situation. Like, let's talk, like, right now. Let's have a date right now. Like, I know we're not seeing each other in person, but, like, let's use this time. What? And, like, let's date.

I don't think we have time for you to go on a date right now. Oh, I'd like to hear it. On the air? No, come on. Let's give it a chance. Why not? Let's pretend, like, we're at a nice restaurant. Like, there's candles. Like, the lighting's dim. You know, we've already ordered's give it a chance. Why not? Let's pretend like we're at a nice restaurant, like there's candles, like the lighting's dim.

You know, we've already ordered a really nice appetizer. It's on its way. This is not how this... No, I mean, like, where did you grow up? You know, what do you like to do for fun? You're actually trying this, huh? Where do you grow up and what do you like to do for fun? It is kind of cute how he's trying.

So, Lisa? We're on a radio show. I don't know. This is so weird. I think you need to be more open-minded, Lisa, and answer the question. Yeah, Lisa. Open-minded. What kind of TV shows do you like?

I can't. I'm not going to do this right now. Oh, man. Just go out on another date with me. Come on. Oh, there you go. All right, Lisa. Would you like to go on a second date with me. Come on. Oh, there you go. All right, Lisa, would you like to go on a second date with Ryan?

We'll pay for it. And then you can have this awkward conversation in real life. That was the most awkward date I've ever been on. I don't even know if we can call it a date. Which one? The date you actually went out on or the one we just heard? Oh, my goodness. Yeah, that's fine.

You can classify that as a date. So we've now been on two bad dates. So I'm going to have to say no. Oh. God dang it. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, that's fine. You can classify that as a date. So we've now been on two bad dates. So I'm going to have to say no. Aw. Aw, dang it. Oh, come on. I admit, the planning was bad. The next time, I promise, no couples massages,

no movies where you can't talk. We'll go to a nice, actual nice dinner instead of trying to imagine one over the phone. And you're not going to take me to the library, are you? Yeah. That'd be amazing, actually. Ryan sounds adorable. And you did say in the very beginning you thought he was thoughtful and listened to you when he even booked that massage to begin with.

Yeah. Okay, here's the deal. If this is going to happen, what you have to do. Did you just shush her? I'm just kidding. It's a joke. It's a joke. Hey, this guy. Whoa. Maybe too soon? Did you just shush her? I'm just kidding. It's a joke. It's a joke.

Hey, this guy. Oh, maybe too soon? I like it. Yeah, you're going to have to work on your comedy there a little bit, too. So what do you think, Lisa? Will you go out with him one more time? Well, it seems like this isn't going to end until I say yes. So I guess I'm saying yes. Yay!

God, look what we accomplished when we actually tried. Congratulations, Ryan. You got a date, not because she wants to. She just wants to get off the phone. So congratulations.
