Moving 92.5. Brook and Jubels, second date update. Store. We've heard a lot of crazy dates for our second date updates. People have done a lot of really weird things, but I don't think anybody can top what the dude on the phone for a second date update today did on his first date. Whoa, that's saying a lot. Really? Check this out. He went to the movies.

Oh. Jubal, why do you do that? I always think it's going to get crazy. I'm that's saying a lot. Check this out. He went to the movies. Oh. No, Jibble, why do you do that? Like, I always think it's going to get crazy. I'm not done yet. I'm not done yet. Okay. There's a twist. Before the movies, dinner.

Crazy. Oh, my lord. Man. Sean, where do you come up with this stuff? I mean, I wish I could think of date ideas like that, man. Look, I listen to your show. I've heard some crazy first date ideas like that, man. Look, I listen to your show. I've heard some crazy first date ideas. Yes.

And they never work, like ever. Yes. So I wanted to do the most normal possible thing that I could think of. Well, then why'd you do dinner in a movie? That's like so weird. Yeah, no, man. Call me crazy. I just decided to go for it that night. You are a

wild card, Sean. What's funny about that is you're making fun of, like, crazy date ideas not working, but you did something normal, and you're on the phone with us. Uh-oh. No, I know. Of course that's what happened, yeah. And I can't do anything normal or, like, have anything go the way it's supposed to go. Of course. I probably shouldn't have known that.

All right. Well, tell us about the girl you want to call today. What's her name? Julia is her name. Julia. And how her name? Julia is her name. Julia. And how did you meet Julia? We have a mutual friend who had a party at their place one night. Got to talking, got her number.

And then I texted her, was like, do you want to go out, grab dinner, you know, see a movie, something? And she was like, yeah. So that's what we did, like, a week later. You're right, Jubal. This does sound crazy. I know, right? I mean. That's the most normal thing ever.

Dude, where'd you find a girl that will see a movie on a first date? I know. It was amazing. I was like, I can't imagine that anybody there was going to go for it. I'm actually even more shocked that where'd you find a girl that you could meet in person? Because I didn't know people still did that. Yeah. And I'm usually not very good at talking to somebody in person. I don't

really know, but we hit it off right away. That's awesome. I'm a big sports fan and like she loves hockey and so we were able to talk about sports so i knew like okay this is somebody that i could like connect with and like i could really see it going somewhere so she shared your love of sweaty dudes as well totally so both of you guys sat there and talked about sweaty dudes for a little while and you're like let's go out how did the date go you know the date went fine um we got to the theater and we like talked a little bit some kind of weird thing happened in the lobby that like i thought was funny at the time but like i don't know now after some time she hasn't gotten back to me i thought maybe this

might be like weird okay wait hold on real quick before you get into what happened that was weird you guys didn't do dinner before you just met at the theater? No, we actually we met at the theater. We went at dinner at a place that was like right by there. Okay, everything was going really well. Like we got along really well. We have a lot of the same things in common. So that was all really good. And then we went to the theater like right afterwards. Okay, that's where the weird thing happened. Yeah. So we were in the lobby and I was going to go to concessions to grab us like popcorn and stuff like that and so i was looking at her and we were talking and i wasn't paying attention and i walked right into this little girl who was standing there with like a big like one of those gigantic

things of popcorn in her arms and like knocked this girl over and the popcorn went everywhere which makes it look way more dramatic than it probably even was totally because she's like this tiny little girl with this giant popcorn and i'm like this big dude and so like she goes flying to the floor oh my god popcorn everywhere and like it took me a second to even figure out like what actually happened like i you know i was paying attention to julia was telling me a story so i froze and then just like i just like burst out laughing like i couldn't like it was horrible this little girl's like laying there but like it was so like shocking but my instant reaction was to laugh which is horrible and like i felt really bad afterward yeah maybe if you would have

stopped and like helped the kid up instead of just standing there over her and laughing honestly i didn't even have like a chance to like by the time like i figured out what happened like her mom came over and she started yelling at me so like this mom is all in my face and like she's pissed and i was like i was apologizing but like i still couldn't kind of stop laughing. Wait, was the little girl crying as well? Oh, yeah, no, she fell and instantly started crying. It was horrible. Wait, did you ever get to apologize to her mom and to the kid? Yes, totally, yes.

I was like, I'm so sorry. It was an accident. I tried to help her up. She didn't want me to touch her. And I eventually went to concessions, and I bought a new popcorn for her. And you grabbed it and you poured it out in front of her and just laughed at her some more? No, no, no. Then I was done laughing at that point.

I got her the new popcorn. You know, I said I was sorry a million times. And then, you know, we went into the movie. The movie pretty much started, like, right when we got in there. So we really didn't, like, talk after that. Okay. And were you the only one laughing, or was Julia laughing with you? She was not laughing.

Okay. That's where you went wrong. How did the date end? Afterward, like, we came in separate cars. So she went off in her car, and then I went home. And I've tried her, I think, two times since then and left her message. And I just never heard anything back from her. And you think it's got to be the fact that you assaulted

a child. It's probably not. Hold on. Let's not say on the radio assaulted a child. I assaulted a child. It was a total accident. For accuracy, I think it was the laughter of assaulting the child. Who knows?

I don't know. Well, we'll play a song. Come back, caller, and get your second date update and see if it was the fact that you beat up a kid on your first date. All right, we'll do it next. Hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Morning's Second Date Update. If you're just tuning in to today's second date update,

you know, normally this is the time where I do a big intro and embellish the story about what happened on the first date. Maybe make a few jokes. Well, this one doesn't even need it. I'll just recap what happened. Sean took a girl out to the movies and then he ended up knocking over a little girl, spilling her popcorn and then laughing in her face. And now he's wondering why he's not getting a call back. You don't feel too good about that recap, do you, Sean? Doesn't sound good when you say it.

No. Nothing does. But, I mean, to your defense, you did apologize profusely by the little girl, new popcorn. I mean, if this really is the reason that this girl isn't calling you back, do you want to go out with her again? Yeah, of course I want to go out with her again. If she was hot, like, I totally want to. All right.

I'm going to dial her phone number right now, see if we can get her on the phone, and find out what happened, okay? Okay. All right. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Julia, please? This is Julia. Hey, what's up, Julia?

How are you? This is Jubal from Brooke and Jubal in the morning I'm sorry what who Jubal from Brooke and Jubal in the morning it's a radio show okay yeah how's it going hi hi any idea why a radio show would be calling you? Not really. What do you think of the Bahamas? Wait, like a trip to the Bahamas? No, I was just asking your opinion on the Bahamas. I'm calling you because you actually went out on a date with one of our listeners, and they emailed us to get a hold of you.

Wait, but what about the Bahamas again? Oh, I was thinking of booking a vacation coming up. I was just asking your opinion if you'd ever been. But let's get to that later. 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 calling them back after, they email us to see if we can get you on the phone and find out what happened. And you recently went out with a dude named Sean.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, Sean. Yeah. And Sean emailed us because he says he took you out to dinner and a movie and he thought everything was great, but now you're not returning any of his phone calls or text messages. Yeah. I mean, did he, like, tell you guys what happened on the date? It was kind of embarrassing.

Do you mean when he punched the kid? He didn't punch the kid. He did not. When he knocked the little girl over and the popcorn went everywhere. He told us that part. Yeah, that was pretty bad. He did not. When he knocked the little girl over and the popcorn went everywhere. He told us that part. Yeah, that was pretty bad. Everyone was staring. We were sort of the center of attention in the lobby.

Oh, no. He also said that his first reaction was to laugh, so it looked like he was laughing at this little girl. Yeah, he was laughing hysterically. He couldn't get it together. And the mom was angry and screaming screaming at him it was not good did you think he was a bad person for laughing i like not a bad person that's a bit extreme but it definitely was not the right reaction he's like laughing in the face of this crying six-year-old i'm looking at him like are you serious yeah I can see how that would be a little unsettling.

Yeah, so I kind of put a damper on the whole thing because we were having like a really good conversation right before that happened. Yeah, I can see that. So is that it then? Is that why you don't want to call him back? No, no, that's like not all that happened. Did he like talk to you at

all about like once we went into the movie? There's something worse than him laughing at an injured six-year-old? To me, yeah. What? Yeah, what's worse than that? Like an old lady? No, no. He's just throwing elbows at everybody in the theater?

What is he doing? No, he didn't do anything to anybody else. But he did something that for me, I thought was way more inappropriate. When we like got into the movie theater, the movie started like lights were down. Everyone was quiet because they were watching the movie. And he like kept talking about what happened with the little girl. Like he wouldn't let it go. Oh, he was talking to you?

Yeah, he was like leaning over to me during the movie being like her mom should have been watching her why was she like even in my way and like blaming the little girl for it i wouldn't have had to knee her in the forehead if she wasn't like standing in front of my knee yeah no really though He was completely blaming her and then was saying that I was distracting him with, like, a story I was telling right before. He said that, like, I distracted him from the little girl and, like, it was partially my fault. Wow, so he blamed her and you.

What did you say to that? I mean, I wanted him to just be quiet, so I was just like, mm-hmm, yeah. And I wasn't sure if he was, like, joking, but if he was joking, like, I did not think it was funny. Yeah. Well, he obviously has a weird sense of humor with the whole laughter to begin with. So I don't know, maybe benefit of the doubt he was being sarcastic. Maybe he was trying to make a joke, like lighten the mood and was embarrassed. I don't know.

But I mean, he was blaming everybody else for it. Wow. Okay, so you just thought basically he's a jerk and you don't want to see him again. Yeah, it was just a turnoff that he wouldn't take responsibility for what he did. And I don't... Julia, that's interesting.

Hello? Sorry, what's going on? Oh, Julia, I forgot to tell you. Sean is actually on the other line listening to this conversation. He wants to talk to you. Yeah, he is serious. I'm right here. Okay. I mean, you get that that's obnoxious behavior, right? Well, first of all, when we got in there,

we were totally having a great conversation. And then after that happened, I did all those nice things to these people who like, shouldn't have been screaming at me in the lobby. Like you totally like were giving me the cold shoulder and like not talking to me. So I was like trying to tell you that like, I wasn't talking to you because we were in a movie.

I was in a, before the movie and started yet, like before, like during like the preview and stuff like that. Like, you totally, like, stopped talking to me. Yeah, usually people stop talking at the beginning of a movie, Sean. Well, look, the point is, like, I think she thought I was, like, this horrible person for doing this. And, like, I wanted her to know, like, first of all, this little girl is just standing there in the middle of the lobby.

Like, where is this mom? Like, she came out of nowhere and started yelling at me. She's like, watch your kid. That's like, you, like, hear how you're coming off right now? You were there. I mean, you were there, right? You saw that she was nowhere to be seen. Like, she just let her kid walk around.

She's not, like, to blame for you running into her. I mean, what was I supposed to do? Like, go over to her and be like, hey, little girl, you were in the way. Can you just, like, get up and move? No, but I thought maybe, like, when the mom just started screaming in my face, maybe you would, like, come to my defense, considering I was talking to you and looking at you when it happened.

So, wait, now it's Julia's fault that she didn't defend you against an angry mother as well? She just stood there. Oh, my God. You don't take responsibility for anything, do you you doing julia see that is exactly what i'm talking about no responsibility blaming everyone else for for the whole thing it literally wasn't my fault like i was looking at you and the little girl was in my way. There was nothing about that that was my fault. Everybody around me was making that happen. Julia, I think he sounds like real relationship material and that getting into arguments with him down the road is going to be just real fun.

See, this is exactly why I wasn't responding to his text. Yeah, I can see. I get it. Okay, I am coming across as a bad guy here and I am not the bad guy in this. If I could diagram this out for you, the way that we were walking and the way that Julia was facing, she could see the kid in front of me. She watched me walk right into her. She had a good three seconds easily before me it was going to happen. You monster, Julia.

How could you just watch that kid about to get wrecked by Sean in the movie theater? She set the kid up. Oh, my. I cannot believe what you're saying right now. He's ready to. You're like a detective now. He's ready to submit diagrams of what happened. Sean, just apologize and leave it at that.

I don't get why you can't do that. Okay, fine. I will apologize. I apologize that Julia didn't see this person and tell me that she was coming and then make me look like this crazy monster who assaulted a kid. Awesome. Okay, then. On that note, I think I need to ask you guys if you'll go out again on a second date.

Julia, would you like to go out with Sean again one more time? We'll pay for it. No. No, thanks. Not even if you pay for it. Of course you would say that. She's a monster. Yeah. Sean, I'm sorry, man.

No second date for you. All right. Well, you know what? At least we know who's to blame, and it's not me. It's Julia, because she can't see the big f***ing picture. Yeah. Get with it, Julia. Damn it.

Broken Jubal in the morning. Text in at 78592 says, that six-year-old girl was such a jerk. I know. Ruined everything. Yeah, those kids. Talking about today's second date update. If you missed it, Sean wanted to call Julia. And Sean said they were out on a date.

They went to the movies. Kind of a normal date. The weird thing that happened, though, was while he was talking to her, he ran into a little kid at the theater. And she spilled her popcorn and started crying and stuff. And then his first reaction was to laugh because he was nervous and I guess that's what you do. And he thought that might have made the date go bad and it kind of did. That wasn't

the main part though. After that he started blaming the kid for it, for being in his way and saying that the mom should have been paying attention to the kid and just kind of blaming everything on everybody else. He even got to a point in the second date update where he blamed Julia, his date, for not warning him that the kid was in the line of walking.

Yeah. Somebody else texted in at 78592 and said, he sounds like the kind of guy that gets caught cheating and is like, it's not my fault. Like, she hit me up on Instagram, and then I responded to her, and then I set up a meeting and she took her clothes off. What do you want me to do?

It's your fault. You haven't been paying attention to me. Yeah, seriously. If you would like more of my photos, then maybe we wouldn't have this problem. So they agreed not to go out again. And he's probably blaming her for that. 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 that didn't call you back. Ugh, we're so done person that didn't call you back. We're so done with new year, new you. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want.

And you know what? We love that for you. Someone else will too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble. Joel, the holidays are a blast, but the financial hangover, that can be a huge bummer.
