Moving 92.5. Rook and Jubal's second date update. Nothing says true love like a bad case of indigestion. Ew. Right? Not what I was thinking, but okay. A lot of times when people fall in love, it feels like indigestion. It's supposed to feel like butterflies.

Irritable bowel syndrome or something. And that's what Johnny is feeling today. Because Johnny made a big mistake on his first date. At least I think so. What's up, Johnny? How are you? Man, I'm doing okay. What about yourself? Not too bad, but you took your date to a hot wing eating contest? Oh, yeah, man.

I was told women like activity, so I took her out. I got to say, I would actually think that'd be really fun. No way. Yes, I think it'd be really fun. I mean, it's obviously informal. Definitely have something to talk about. Exactly. I figured it'd be something fun and just see what happens, you know, afterwards.

Okay. What happens afterwards is a long bathroom break. But anyway, what's her name? Angela. Angela, right? And where'd you meet Angela? I met online. It was my first date, man, since my divorce. I worked a lot.

I was a little skeptical, so, you know. And how long ago was the divorce? 11 months ago. Okay, so you're ready. I think I am. I feel I am. I was a little skeptical, so, you know. And how long ago was the divorce? 11 months ago. Okay, so you're ready. I think I am. I feel I am. That's awesome. Something that's very key in this whole hot wing date thing,

did you surprise her with it, or did you guys agree upon it before you met up for the competition? I mean, we had talked in general, but it was me surprising her with that. Okay, I don't know that that's necessarily a good surprise. Yeah, so you sprung a hot wing eating contest on her. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Let me clarify now. She didn't eat.

It was just me in the contest. She was just there supporting me. Wait, hold on. I don't think I understood this when I approved of this whole hot wing thing. You were actually participating in the competition? I thought you were just going to, like, watch and it would be funny. No, no, I'm a contestant. so you and that was a surprise yeah i mean i'm a spontaneous guy i hope she would appreciate that oh my god i don't know that you have my endorsement anymore i don't think

any woman wants to see a guy shoveling their face with hot wings on a first date well you don't sound like a fun date i mean it is all is what it is. All right. So she was there to root you on in a hot wing eating contest. How did the date go, though? It was pretty cool. So she met me at the restaurant and that's when I told her the big news that I was in the contest, hot wing eating contest. What was her reaction to that big news? She smiled. I mean, her eyes got a little slightly wide and she smiled. We talked a little bit before the contest. And this is where I think I could have goofed up. I think I could have overshared.

I told her that I like going commando, that I never wear underwear. I mean, never under any circumstances. When did you let her know that information? I mean, we were talking. It was, you know, I had 10, 15 minutes before the contest. We were talking. You have been out of the dating world for a while, haven't you, sir? Yeah, well, I was married for seven years.

I mean, I don't... I hadn't dated in like forever, but... So how does that work? You're like talking, you're like, I got to go do this contest real quick. I don't wear any underwear. I'll be right back. No, that's just it.

No, no, we were talking and some guy bent over and she saw his crack and I was like, oh, well, I don't wear any underwear either. That's how it. No, no, we were talking, and some guy bent over, and she saw his crack, and I was like, oh, wow, I don't wear any underwear either. That's how it came up. Okay. I just never wear underwear, and I told her, but before I could explain further, they called my name to go up to the contest and start eating. So I will say, I don't think that no underwear in general is a turn off, but maybe the oversharing.

And like, that just seems like it's so awkward. Well, you're right. It was awkward. I shared it. It happened. I mean, I had to move on. Especially when my name got called. Did you move on gracefully and recover or did the rest of the date seem weird?

Actually, it seemed pretty good. She was cheering me on when I was eating. Was she let's be honest was she like yelling your name she was like clapping like go go she was saying go she wasn't yelling my name personally but she was saying go go she was saying that so she got into the actual contest part i believe so i mean i must be honest my eyes was blurry i couldn't see crap because the wings were much harder than I thought and how did you do in the competition I mean I came in second place but you know okay if you won that competition you might have won her heart her spicy heart but no you didn't win hey look the wings were crazy hot she drank mint with me so I can cool off.

I mean, we had good conversation. It was good. It just really doesn't sound like you're putting your best foot forward on this date. Well, I couldn't. I didn't know the wings were going to be that hot. Seriously, I didn't know they were going to be that hot. All right, well, how did everything end with her? So we were done.

I walked out to her car. And then, you know, I leaned over to try and give her a kiss. And she pushed me away because she said she had to leave to go take care of her grandmother or somebody, some relative that was sick. So I walked out, tried to give her a kiss. And she was like, oh, I don't kiss on the first date. I was like, no problem. I respect that.

Maybe this next date we have then. Did she agree with it? Did she say, okay, maybe the next date? Or did she just go, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got to go take care of my sick somebody? She was like, okay, well, we'll see. She did say, we'll see. Okay, that's kind of flirty. Flirty?

We'll see is flirty. It could go either way. It could be flirty or a letdown. Don't you think, like, it's your first big date back from being divorced? Don't you think you should just chalk it up to a good learning lesson about not mentioning your underwear or eating a bucket load of hot wings on your first date well yeah the date was weird but it was fun i mean maybe i can get a hold to her and our second date could be more fun more weird i hey i'm ready to try this and do this okay we'll play a song come back and see if we can get you a more weird more fun second date right after this all right right? Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Moving 92.5.

Brooke and Jubal in the Morning's Second Date Update. Why am I playing this song? Well, because Johnny, who's on the phone for a second date update today, took his first date to a hot wing eating contest. And, you know, Johnny, more than I think about it, I think I figured out why she's not calling you back. You came in second. I bet you she went home with the winner of the hot wing

eating contest. Probably has a baby on the way now and everything because you didn't win, man. Really? Oh, so we're going, oh, so second place don't get me a second date, is that it? Not when it comes to hot wings. That should be the new slogan, though.

You're just joining us. Johnny did take his date to a hot wing eating contest. She cheered him on. He came in second place. He asked for a kiss at the end of the date. She said she doesn't do that on a first date. And then he's been trying to contact her for like three weeks now. And she's not getting back to him. So we're about to call her and find out why.

I never heard. What did you like so much about her? I mean, the fact that she had no idea we were going to a hot wing eating contest and she was cheering me on. Go, go. I mean, she was cool with everything. That's pretty awesome. Okay. Okay, yeah.

So she seemed pretty laid back and fun. Yeah. I mean, not to mention, I think she's beautiful, but, you know. Those are lovely things to say that I'm hoping we can pass on because I think it's going to be an uphill battle for you. But you got this, Johnny. I got it. All right, here we go.

Hello? Hi, can I speak to Angela, please? This is Angela speaking. Hi, Angela. This is Jubal from Brick and Jubal in the Morning. How are you? I'm okay. Why are you calling me?

Who is this? This is Jubal from Brick and Jubal in the Morning. Okay. Not helping. Yeah, it's a radio show. Why are you calling me? Well, because we actually got an email about you from one of our listeners. Somebody emailed you about me?

Yeah, it's somebody that you went out on a date with a little while ago. What? What? It's a segment that we do on our show. It's called the Second Date Update. A listener of ours named Johnny told us that he went out with you recently. Oh my God. No.

You obviously remember Johnny. Johnny also told us that you haven't talked to him in like three weeks, so he's wondering what's up. I was trying to do the fade away. It didn't work. Can you tell us why you were trying to fade away from Johnny? Because

it was the weirdest date I'd ever been on in my life. It sounds really strange from what he described to us as well. Oh, he told you? Oh my god. He did. He told us how he met up with you and surprised

you with a hot wing eating competition that he was participating in. Yeah. And I didn't know until we met up at the restaurant that that was our date. Can I just ask you, what was the first thing that went through your head when he told you that he was going to participate in this contest? Honestly, I was waiting for him to be like just kidding but he wasn't kidding no he's a true competitor yeah i had no idea that that was like a thing that like people gathered to like cheer people on as they eat but you can't see i mean like stepping back and having some hindsight you can see where his mean, like, stepping back and having some hindsight, you can see where his mind was. Like, he thought it would be a fun, informal date, like an activity for you guys to do.

Yeah, but, like, how are we supposed to get to know each other if he's eating hot wings? Right. I'm not saying the execution was good. I'm just saying that the intention was good. It was weird because people knew him. People knew him? They were like, oh, yeah, Johnny, he's really good. It was weird because people knew him. People knew him? They were like, oh, yeah. Johnny, he's really good. And I was like,

really good at what? So he's known at the bar or he's known at the hot wing eating competition? At the hot wing eating competition. People were fans. Some people had fan t-shirts. It was the weirdest thing. T-shirts? Did you say t-shirt? Yeah. I mean, they were fans. Like, some people had fan t-shirts. It was the weirdest thing.

Wait, t-shirts? Did you say t-shirt? Yeah. I mean, they were homemade, but, like, still. What? And it wasn't, like, his cousins or something. I don't know. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if he had, like, a like page or something.

So are you not calling him back because the pressures of being a celebrity girlfriend would be really hard? You know what? I was so weirded out by him. There wasn't the connection that I thought there would be. And I felt bad because, like, after he was done with the contest, we were trying to sit down and just, like, connect for the first time face-to-face. And he had, like, sauce all over his face and all over his shirt. And he's, like, snot's like naughty because like the spices are

making and that didn't do it for you it was just disgusting and then i was trying to not make it awkward but it was already awkward and he was like oh i'm getting so hot and he took off his hat and he was bald and i was scared i was just shocked i was scared so I was just shocked. I was scared, so I jumped back, and I know he saw me jump back, and I felt so bad. I felt like a bad person. So you thought he had more hair, too? Because he didn't look like that in the picture, because he does have hair on the sides.

So I thought that it was going to continue, but it didn't. And it's one of those things, like, just shave the sides, too. If you can't grow it on the top. I know, like, don't trick me. I would've been fine if it was just all bald, and he was, like, proud to be bald, but I felt like I was being tricked. Okay. Oh, no.

The whole date was a surprise to you. The hot wing eating competition, and then the fact that he was bald. Right. The whole thing was, like, a hidden bald head underneath a baseball cap. That's the whole date. That's a good metaphor for how the date was. Well, I have another hidden bald head underneath a baseball cap. That's the whole thing. That's a good metaphor for how the date was. Well, I have another hidden bald head for you then, Angela.

What do you mean by that? I mean, Johnny is actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you. Oh, no. Yeah, no, I'm here, Angela. How are you? I'm sorry, Johnny. I had no idea that the JBGers upset you.

What? The Johnny Gooders. My fan club, the Johnny B. Gooders. I didn't know they upset you. Wait. Was that a problem? I'm sorry. Stop.

Do you have a fan club? The JBG, yeah. The JBGers. That's what their shirt said. Oh, my goodness. That was a real... Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I was trying to be spontaneous. that's what their shirt said oh my goodness that was a real oh my god yeah yeah so i mean i i don't

i was trying to be spontaneous i wanted you to enjoy yourself i don't see what the problem was you know what johnny it's not a problem it's just like you would be more of like an acquaintance than a boyfriend i could not like consider a girlfriend. That's just not my thing. It's not personal. Because of the hot wings? So you want to go on another date and don't do hot wings? We can go do something else. I mean, I'm not a competitive eater.

We don't have to eat. I mean, the JBGers won't be there. You know, so it just... You sure, Johnny? You don't take them around with you everywhere you go? Because I would if I had a fan club like that. No, no, no. Only at my hot wing. They support me there.

Johnny, how could you not have mentioned this when we were talking before? Like, you made it sound like this was like a fun, great idea. It was. No, this is like a lifestyle for you, dude. Yeah, I mean, it's my thing. This is what I do. I figured it would be good for her to, you know, see what I do. See what kind of man she's getting involved with.

Me and the JB Gears. JB Gears. JB G? That right there is already, like, too much. So, Angela, you're trying to tell me there's nothing I can say to make you want to go out with me. What if I cut my hair completely bald? What can I say or do? Literally, like, I'm just not into a guy with sauce all over his face

all the time. Are you sure, Angela? Because we would like to pay for a second date. Would you go out with Johnny one more time? We will pay for it. Hey, Angela, before you answer that, you just know a real man is not afraid to cry in front of a woman. And you know I did that in front of you, girl. What? Me and the

JBG. You cried? Me and the JBG. When did you cry? Dude, the wings were hotter than I thought. I told you that earlier. So obviously it's going to bring tears. Angela, one more date with Johnny. Oh my gosh. Johnny, if you are a very unique and special person and seem really sweet, you're just not the guy for me. Oh, Johnny. I'm sorry, man. No second date. It doesn't sound like she's going to go out with you. Bam, man. Dude, I really tried, man. I can't believe somebody wouldn't want to go out with me because I'm really good at something.

And Johnny, how can you ever really be alone when you have your own fan club? None of us can say that. You have the JBJs. Oh, hey, you know what? You're right, dude. I appreciate the love, man. Just for that, I'm going to bring you to the next contest and we're gonna do this together bro come on let's do this

i'll cheer louder than any johnny be gooder for you let's do it all right give me a t-shirt man i'll see you there i just want you to know i'm officially a Johnny B. Gooder. Yeah! Oh, Todd, of course you are. Talking about today's second date update, and everybody texting in at 78592 supports the dude from today's second date update. His name was Johnny, and he wanted to call a girl named Angela.

He wasn't getting a call back because he took her to a hot wing eating contest, kind of surprised her with that. And also she said that he took off his hat and he was balding. And he was surprise bald. Surprise! I mean, it's just a lot of shocking things in one date. Yeah, he's a big competitive eater, I guess, at this bar. And he has a fan club, the Johnny B. Gooders.

And she just said his passion for eating things kind of turned her off. She wasn't into him because he just wanted to go eat spicy hot wings all the time and hang out with his fan club. Yeah, like someone said on the text board, poor guy just wanted to be spontaneous. Maybe a little too spontaneous. Just shows guys, don't plan dates really. Don't try to do too much

on dates. Go to dinner. Keep it normal. Don't try to do too much. No hot wing eating contests. Don't introduce them to your fan club until at least date number three. Yes, that's for sure. And 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.
