From these second date updates, I've now learned one of the best places to meet women in coffee shops.
Yeah, it is a good place.
You walk up and you spill your coffee on them.
No, no, Jubal.
That's like third degree burn.
Well, it starts off a conversation right there.
It's a conversation starter.
Big conversation starter.
I agree.
There's like 70,000 coffee shops in Seattle.
Yeah, right?
So you can't miss out.
That's where today's second dater, Leo, met the girl that he wants us to call.
Her name's Gabrielle.
Leo, what's up, man?
I'm good. I'm good. How are you? Good, man. So you met the girl that you want us to call. Her name's Gabrielle. Leo, what's up, man? I'm good.
I'm good.
How are you?
Good, man.
So you met the girl that you want to call at a coffee shop.
Did you take my advice and spill something on her, or did you do it a different way?
No, no, no.
We never made it that far.
We never made it to the burn part of the date.
Oh, that's good.
It's not a good date unless you're in the burn unit.
Already you're doing better than Jubal Flagg.
Tell us about meeting the girl that you want to call today.
I went into my neighborhood coffee shop and just gorgeous woman reading a book by herself sitting in the window.
And so I go up and I get my coffee and then I'm hanging out by the sweetener station and I just wanted to start a conversation with her.
That sounds creepy.
I was hanging out by the sweetener station the whole time, just peering at her from over the napkins.
What'd you say when you walked up to her?
She was reading A Time to Kill, and I had read it six or eight months ago.
And so I was like, oh, that's such a great book.
How are you enjoying it?
Okay.
And just completely...
Did you do it exactly like that?
Oh, my God!
You're reading A Time to Kill?
I've read A Time to Kill.
Are you enjoying it?
Right, yeah. So anyway, I'm still sitting there spitting my coffee, so I was like, oh, well, yeah, I read it a fewall reading A Time to Kill? I've read A Time to Kill. Are you enjoying it? Right, yeah.
So anyway, I'm still sitting there spitting my coffee.
So I was like, oh, well, yeah, I read it a few months ago.
Hey, Leo.
It's such a great book.
Leo?
Yeah.
How many cups of coffee have you had this morning?
Oh, buddy, I'm like a pot of day guy.
Yeah.
Oh, gotcha.
We can tell.
You are hyped up, man.
Plus a five-hour energy.
I'm on my third cup, and I've been up for like an hour and a half.
Yeah.
We can tell that.
So you said,
hey, do you like the book?
And then that started
the conversation.
Well, I kind of,
but I mean like
for the first little while,
everything I would ask,
I would get like
whatever the least amount
of syllables
that you could respond
to that question,
that was the answer
I would get.
Oh, but you didn't give up.
I was like, okay,
this isn't going well.
I'm going to cut my losses
and go.
And then,
I don't know why, but finally I was like, hey, so I forget.
How does that look in?
And she looked at me like I'm just a moron.
Yeah.
She shows me that she's on, like, page 60 and goes, well, I don't know, do I?
But it got her laughing.
It got me laughing.
And then after that, it kind of, it's like me being just a complete idiot kind of broke the ice.
Okay.
And so you asked
her out yes a few days later we met for dinner that was really nice and then towards the end
we were thinking about whether or not to get dessert and i was like hey well listen i've got
a fire pit we can go back to my place and start the fire pit and like roast s'mores yeah this is
where you go to the burning all right this is actually a cute idea how did that go i think it
was great it was great.
It was great.
We had a great time.
We popped a bottle of wine, and we just kind of sat out.
And I thought that we were really cooking at this point.
And then out of nowhere, she's just like, all right, well, I guess it's time for me to go.
And awkward hug, kiss on the cheek, and then she was gone.
Really?
That's it.
Now, Leo, you're an intense guy, and you communicate a lot.
Is there possibly something you said before she flipped a switch and had to leave?
The thing is, when I ramble like crazy when I'm nervous,
I also think that it's kind of part of my bumbling charm.
I don't think so.
Are you a good listener, Leo?
I would like to think so.
And, like, you ask women questions when you're out.
I mean, you learn stuff about her, too, right?
It wasn't just you.
Yes, I learn things about her.
Okay, I'm just checking.
It's kind of intense right now.
How many times have you tried to get a hold of her since she left your place?
We texted back and forth for the first couple of days, and then it was just radio silence.
Okay, and you can't think of anything that you did wrong?
No.
Well, we'll play a song, come back, call her, and get your second date update right after this,
okay? Great. Thanks, guys. Hang out and have another pot of coffee.
Oh, God.
All right. With the energy that Leo has, I don't even think I need to ask the question,
but Leo, are you ready to call Gabrielle and get your second date update?
Yeah, I'm ready. Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
If you're just tuning in, Leo met Gabrielle at a coffee shop.
They ended up hitting it off, went out for dinner,
went back to his place to make s'mores for dessert, which the ladies liked that idea.
And then the girl kind of got weird, gave him a hug, kissed him on the cheek, and took off.
They texted for a little while, but he hasn't had any contact with her for
what, a couple of weeks now?
Yeah, about a week and a half.
About a week and a half. Okay.
Okay.
All right. So we're going to call her right now and see if we can get her on the phone
and get your second date update. Ready?
Yeah.
Here we go.
Hello?
Hi, can I speak to Gabrielle, please?
Is this she?
Hey, this is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning.
I'm moving 92.5.
How are you?
Who's that?
Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning.
I'm moving 92.5.
Oh, my God.
I'm pretty sure your voice just cracked.
It did.
Hi, I'm sorry.
Did I win something?
I'm just kind of confused.
No.
Oh, my God.
No, you didn't win anything.
Well, I guess you sort of, you could have won something.
Find out in a second.
Okay.
I'm calling you because you recently went on a date with a guy named Leo.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Leo is a big listener to the show.
Okay.
And he emailed us and wanted us to get a hold of you because you haven't been responding to any of his text messages.
And Leo would love to see you again.
He would love to see me again?
I don't...
I mean, I guess I don't know what you mean.
He never asked me out again.
I mean...
Oh, so you think Leo's not interested in you?
I mean, it was a weird night.
Just put it that way.
It started off really good, and it just ended weird.
So I didn't think he wanted to see me.
What was weird?
Didn't you guys just go roast s'mores we did roast s'mores okay i can tell you that yeah yeah i mean
the s'mores part actually was the nicest part but i mean right after that i feel bad even saying this
but i mean he shows me this video like, I guess, for like these seaweed nutritional supplements.
Oh, no.
Seaweed based.
And I was really confused by why he was showing me that.
And then he kept on telling me that he thought I would be a really good salesperson.
And then I have a lot of friends that would be really good at selling seaweed products.
He's trying to be.
So you think that he wasn't interested in you in a romantic sense, but he just wanted
to try to sell you on his seaweed product?
On the pyramid scheme?
Exactly.
On a seaweed supplement.
Okay.
And I got a little freaked out.
I'm not going to lie.
It was weird.
You know, honestly, your energy sounds like you match Leo pretty well.
And the truth is, that's what I loved about him.
I've dated a lot of guys.
His energy is, it's literally like he drinks 10 cups of coffee.
I felt like that.
I think that's because he does.
When he said to me, he said to me, I want you to heal the world with seaweed.
And I got it.
Okay, okay.
I don't remember the heal the world part exactly.
Hey, Gabrielle, Leo is actually on the phone right now
and heard everything you just said.
Leo.
Oh, my God.
What is this?
Sorry about that.
I actually thought we had something really good going in the seaweed.
I mean, like, yeah, at the heart of it, I'm a salesman,
and that's how I make my living.
And it's like, you can ask me my friends.
I ask everybody.
This is the thing I do.
If you'd be interested, I would love to get you interested in it.
It's what I do.
Always be closing.
Always be closing, right?
Even on your dates, Leo, always be closing.
No, Leo.
Leo, you can see how you trying to sell her on your health food, whatever it is,
could lead her to think that you're not interested in her, though, right?
Look, I just really think that you should step back and just think about the overall benefits
to your health, to your
sleep cycle, to your
hair, your skin. I mean,
these things are all documented.
Leo, going in the wrong direction here.
Like, do you guys see what I mean now?
What do I say to this guy?
I think what you need to say is, where do I sign up?
It sounds great to me.
I think you need to put up a no solicitation sign on your freaking chest.
I mean, I can see we're making it like the very last, like, part of the evening.
Makes it feel like that's what we've been building towards.
But it's just like, we had gone inside.
I don't know where the video is.
And if you have an interest, I have an interest in what to do.
Like, I would like to say.
Hey, Leo.
Tell her what you wanted the last impression to be of the night.
You know, tell her what you were hoping for,
if you're really not trying to sell her on anything.
We had a really lovely time.
We had great conversation.
We sat out under the stars.
I think the entire night was a smashing success.
I feel like I'm getting pointed at because of the order of the events.
Leo, you were a really nice guy.
I want you to understand that I like who you are,
but I honestly felt that you were trying to make me a salesperson to sell your seaweed,
and I don't believe in selling seaweed to people and stealing their money and whatever that is.
So that's my whole thing with you.
Like, I will not sell seaweed, and you're being a seaweirdo,
and I just kind of think that we should stop this.
Look, listen, if you can be happy with how my skin glistens, I don't care how it got that way.
I'm fine with it.
I would love for you to give me a second chance, and if I need to leave the sample to the trunk, that's a thing that I'm totally fine with.
What do I have to do right now to get you into a second chance?
Who do I need to talk to?
I need to cut the interest rate down to what can I do to get you into a second chance? Who do I need to talk to?
Do I need to cut the interest rate down?
What can I do to get you into a second date right now?
Hey, you got to give him something.
He must be good at his job.
Look, the second date can be on consignment.
You owe me nothing up front.
Gabrielle, would you like to go out on a second date with Leo?
We will pay for it.
You promised me you won't talk me up seaweed or anything dealing with nutritional supplements ever again.
I will go on another date with you.
I feel like you guys are a good match besides the seaweed issue.
We're both crazy, I guess.
Yeah, you sound a little nuts.
I'm not going to lie.
And I kind of like it. Congratulations, Leo. You got your second date. Hey, thanks. Hey, Jubal, I guess. Yeah, you sound a little nuts. I'm not going to lie. And I kind of like it.
Congratulations, Leo.
You got your second date.
Hey, thanks.
Hey, Jubal, I've got you on the phone.
Have you ever thought about... No, I have not.
Broken Jubal in the morning.
I'm going to hop some Jags.
Only got $20 in my pocket.
