In today's second date update, something happened to a guy that I didn't think happened anymore. Not since like the 50s or even earlier, the 20s. He was out dancing with a girl and some guy came up and asked to cut in. Really?

And then stole her time. I didn't know that still existed. I didn't either. What's up, Charlie? How are you? Hey, I'm doing all right. I'm doing okay. Thanks for your email, man. I appreciate it. No problem. Thanks for calling me.

I really appreciate this. No problem. We'll get into the whole cutting in thing because I thought that was weird. But first of all, tell us about the girl that you want to call today. What's her name? Her name is Summer. Summer. All right.

And where'd you meet Summer? Set up by a friend of a friend. Was it a blind date that you were going on then? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd never met her. But my friend said she was real nice and cool and that I should. So I said, sure, why not? And was she real nice and cool? Yeah, she was really pleasant. Pleasant? No one wants to be described as really pleasant. That's like starting a sentence with bless your heart.

You sure you want to do a second date update and try to get another date with her? Yeah, I do. I do. I mean, she's stunning. That's the thing. There you go. Was she more stunning or more pleasant? I can't figure out with you.

Well, she was pleasantly stunning. Okay. Pleasantly stunning. That's a nice way to describe her. So what did you like about Summer so much? Why was she so pleasantly stunning? Well, I expected her to be blonde, you know, with a name like Summer, but she had jet black

hair and tall and fit and just everything a summer was not supposed to be. She was it. She was like a naughty summer. The hottest summer ever. The hottest summer on record, and you got a date

with her. I got pretty lucky. Were you nervous when you saw her? I mean, you were obviously taken aback with how beautiful she was. I wasn't even sure if it was her, really. I just kind of made eye contact,

thought about it for a second and I was thinking just do it, man. Just go approach her. Just ask if her name is Summer. And it was. Nice. Awesome. Yes!

Score! This is it! Email said that you guys hung out at a bar and did some dancing, and there was some point where a guy cut in on you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we went to this bar, and there was live music, and it was nice, and the conversation started a little flow and we got to know each other and then we started dancing and were you like grinding dancing

or is this like pear dancing like the foxtrot or i don't know it was just regular old dancing not like 1940s old dancing like now old dancing okay just normal dancing all right and how did that guy cut in on you? I didn't think that happened anymore. I haven't heard of that in a while. Yeah, it was pretty awkward. We were, you know, we had taken a break for a second, went back to the bar to get some water,

and this guy comes in and approaches me first before he approaches her. He says, hey, I saw you guys dancing over there. You guys are a really good couple. Could I dance with her for a second? Because I haven't had any good partners. Whoa. Sure, sure. That's strange that he even realized that you guys were together and then wanted to

dance with her. Yeah, he was probably, like, watching us for the whole night. Oh, crazy. Who would have been better if he came up and was like, hey, I see you guys are a couple. Excuse me, do you mind if I dance with this fellow over here? And then you would have had to go dance with him. That was not going to happen. So why didn't you say no to him?

I mean, when he asked to dance with her, you'd be like, nah, we're good, man, thanks. I didn't want to look like I was possessive on the first night. First impressions are so important, so I didn't want to freak her out or anything. So I said, sure. She'll just crack a beer bottle over his head right there. That would have impressed her. In another universe, I did.

What was her response to all this? When the guy asked the question, she looked surprised and kind of looked like she said, sure. So I just stepped out. Okay. So how long was this dude dancing with your date? It was a good three, four songs. It just kept going on and on and on.

What were you doing? Just hanging out at the bar being awkward? Yeah, yeah, you know, check Facebook, check Instagram, pretend I had some emails. That sucks. You're like, yeah, go ahead and dance with my date. I had some emails. That sucks.

You're like, yeah, go ahead, dance with my date. I got some work I need to do anyway. Pretty important. Super busy over here. So do you think that she's not calling you back because she liked that guy more than you? I'm worried that she might think I'm like some spineless little kid or I couldn't stand up for myself. I couldn't fight the big bad intruder or anything like that so she probably thinks i'm a pretty much like a weenie okay how did the date end

with her then did you ever get her back after that guy stole your date away uh yeah yeah she eventually cut off and came back to me and said hey how you doing i was you know i was pretending playing it off like oh yeah no i my job my boss is always sending me these late night emails. But we should get out of here. And she said, yeah, yeah, yeah. We went out and we got like a little nightcap, like a slice of pizza. And then she called an Uber and she gave me a like a polite kiss. Like on the cheek

or something? No, no, no. Like on my lips. It was polite. It was polite. So it wasn't like a passionate, I like you a lot kiss. It was like, thanks for a fun night and the pizza. And then she just got in the car and left. Yeah. Did she ever ask you why you didn't cut in?

No, she didn't. But I could tell that she really wanted to ask. So how many times have you tried to get a hold of her since that date? I've been calling her a few times, you know, sending her a few texts for the past like two, three weeks. And she only replied once, which is when I just kind of gave up. And she told me she was going to be out of town for two months and that she was going to be disconnected. That sounds like a blow-off and a half. Like, hey, I'm going to be gone for about two months,

so hopefully you'll forget about me by then. Is that what it feels like? Yeah. All right. That's what it sounds like. I'm disconnected for eight weeks. Sorry. I'm moving.

Well, we're going to play a song, come back, call her, and get your second date update, all right? All right, thanks. All right, man. Hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the morning.

Second date update. I don't know if the girl's even going to answer in today's second date update. If you just are tuning in for it, Charlie is on the phone. He wants to call a girl named Summer. They went out to a bar with a band and did some dancing on their first date. There was an awkward moment where a guy actually cut in and asked her to dance and spent like 10 minutes dancing with her

while Charlie just sat there at the bar by himself and waited. He thinks that maybe he didn't show that he was strong enough by telling the guy, no, you can't dance with my date. And that's the reason she's not calling back. I say, though, that she might not answer because she told Charlie she was going to be unavailable for two months. So I'm guessing when we get her on the phone, Charlie, all we're going to hear is this.

Just noises from some jungle somewhere where she's working. I hope she's got a satellite phone to answer us because she's gone for two months. Who knows where? Yeah, you know, I just hope it works, man. If she answers the phone, then it's going to be very apparent that the two-month thing was a lie. Well, I don't know if she's going to answer your call because she doesn't answer mine,

so she most likely won't answer yours. Well, let's find out. Why do you want to call this girl? I mean, she spent like 10, 15 minutes of your day dancing with another guy. She's lying to you probably about even being available. I feel like you should chalk this up to a loss and move on. She's just different from everyone I've been with is really popular with my circle say this, popular with my circle of friends. So this girl is completely different.

She's not popular because she doesn't have a lot of friends? I don't get it. No, no, no. The thing is, all my exes pretty much have slept with all of my friends. And this girl hasn't done that. Oh. So she holds a special place in your heart because she hasn't slept with your friends. Wow.

Yes. Okay. Okay. Well, let's call her and see if we can get you another date. Okay. Here we go. You guys really don't get anything, do you? I really don't understand.

I don't think so. All right, I just dialed the phone number. Hang on. Hello? Hi, I was looking for Summer. Who is this? Hi, Summer. My name is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning.

It's a morning radio show. You're what? I'm sorry. Say it again. My name is Jubal Morning. It's a morning radio show. You're what? I'm sorry. Say it again. My name is Jubal, and I host a morning radio show. It's called Brook and Jubal in the Morning. Okay, why are you calling me?

I'm calling you because one of our listeners asked if we could get you on the phone. Okay. And I will start by saying this. It's kind of strange that you even answered because he thought you were out of town for two months. Oh, man. Oh, my God. Yeah.

His name is Charlie, and you recently went out on a date with him. I'm assuming you know who I'm talking about. Yeah. So we do a segment on our show called The Second Date Update. So Charlie emailed us, told us about your date, told us how you said you were going to be gone for two months, and asked if we could get you on the phone and find out why you don't want to go out with Charlie again. Yeah, things changed with our plans, and I came back earlier than I thought. You are not sticking with that lie.

I mean, come on. It's not a lie. I didn't expect to be back. Oh, okay. So then you're going to call Charlie and go out with that lie. I mean, come on. It's not a lie. I didn't expect to be back. Oh. Okay, so then you're going to call Charlie and go out with him again. All right. So do you mind telling us a little bit about your date? I think he's insane.

If you feel that strongly, why would you just tell him, like, no, I don't ever want to see you again instead of I'm going to be gone for two months? I didn't want him to start contacting me or get any sort of, I just wanted to go away. Can I tell you why he thinks you're not calling him back? Sure, I'd love to hear why he thinks I'm not talking with him. Well, he thinks it's because when that guy cut in and you danced with that guy for a while, he didn't stick up for you in that moment. He was worried that you might think he has no backbone.

No, it's the opposite. What do you mean? Well, after I was done dancing with this guy, Charlie took me aside and started talking to me. At first, I didn't know what he was saying because he was whispering. That's always weird. It was shady. He kept talking about the guy that cut in, and he said he'd handle the situation for me. What does that mean?

Like, protect your honor? He wanted to make a plan with me where I would lure the guy outside. So he could fight him. Yeah, he wanted me to lure the guy out behind the bar so he could jump out and use his martial arts moves on him. Did you say use his martial arts moves on him? What? Yeah, he said he could snap the guy's neck in one move and then he showed me. Like he was...

By what? He, like, moved his hands really, in a, like, a really quick motion. He said that would snap his neck. Okay. What did you say? This is what I'm picturing. I'm picturing him talking like a, I don't know, a fourth grader who's like, I will do my karate moves on him and try to chop him in the neck and it'll break his neck. I mean, did you just start laughing?

How did you control your, control yourself? You know, I didn't know what to do. I just said, let's get some pizza. Let's get out of here. Did you like anything about him up until the ninja moment? You know, he was just very awkward.

Of course. He's observing his surroundings in case he needs to make a quick escape or scissor kick somebody. I guess it was one of the weirdest nights of my entire life. Hey, Summer, I do have to let you know that that guy, Charlie, is a real-life karate master. Okay. Yeah, and he's a master of illusion because he's actually on the other line listening to this conversation and wants to talk to you. Are you serious?

Yes. No. Charlie? Yeah. Should I say Charlie-san? Charlie-san, are you there? Yeah, I'm right here. I'm right here.

Summer, I was just trying to do, like, the right thing, okay? I was trying to defend your honor, all right? I don't need to defend my honor. I'm not, you know, it's just strange. The guy was creepy, Summer. The guy was so freaking creepy. No, no, you were creepy. You were trying to show your martial arts moves in the back of the bar.

I mean, I wasn't going to lure somebody out there for you. Well, I wasn't going to fight him in the back of the bar. I mean, I wasn't going to lure somebody out there for you. Well, I wasn't going to fight him in the bar, so of course we had to take him outside. Of course. That makes sense. Duh. You don't want to get blood everywhere. Our bad.

What is wrong with you? You don't have to beat up anyone. No, here's the thing. Guys are f***ing animals, all right? And sometimes you need to put the animals in their place. And I was going to help you put that guy in place. What are you talking about? You're insane.

No, no, no. Okay, well, I am insane for you and I will do anything that I have to do to protect you, alright? If that makes me insane, then sure, I'm insane. She was just dancing. We agree. We agree. We agree That makes me insane. What? Sure, I'm insane. She was just dancing. We agree, we agree.

We agree, you're insane. You're insane. This is insane. How many guys would actually stand up for you like I did? Well, not a lot of guys know that much karate, Charlie. That's the problem. We're not all warriors. Yeah, not a lot of

guys know the moves that I know. Oh, Charlie. Charlie, you realize that she was just dancing with somebody. It's not like someone was attacking her. Well, here's the thing. Martial arts is about honor, and this guy was dishonoring me in my face.

So, of course, I gotta step up. Yeah, but Charlie, trying to get your date to lure him outside so you could fight him? Surprise attack. Yeah. Well, it wouldn't have been much of a fight, honestly. He would have been out in like three seconds. You guys still need me at this point?

I think what he's saying kind of proves my point. I do need you for just one second, Summer, because I have to ask you this. Would you like to go on a second date with Charlie? We'll pay for it. I want to honor Charlie right now and say no, and I want him to practice his karate moves on another date. Well, you know what? You're missing out on a personal superhero that helps you out with whatever you need. So, good luck. Yeah, I stopped watching cartoons when I was about 12.

All right. Well, no second date, Charlie. I'm sorry, Summer. Thank you for being honest with us about what happened. I appreciate it. Yeah. Okay. Thanks, guys.

I would like to thank both of you for coming into my dojo today. You're great competitors. Broken Jubal in the morning ugh we're so done with new year new you this year it's more you on Bumble more of you shamelessly sending playlists
