Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal's Second Date Update. The girl that's on the phone to do a second date update today actually got stood up completely for her first date. But she feels like it might be her fault.

Really? Yeah, normally when somebody gets stood up, they're angry at the other person. They're like, I just want to get them on the phone so I can yell at them. But she feels like she might have actually screwed up and maybe understands why this guy didn't show up for her date. Amy, how are you? Hi, guys. I'm okay. First of all, did he just stand you up completely? Yeah. I mean, that's pretty much it. I waited at the bar and waited and waited, and I never saw anyone. I didn't hear from him.

That's like the worst feeling ever. How long did you wait? Well, I was there for like 30 minutes when I started to wonder if I should maybe like text or call and then right around 45 minutes, I'm kind of patient, I guess. Yeah. And I texted him and didn't hear anything back. And then I called him. And no answer to that either? What?

Yeah. So I probably waited about an hour total. Okay. And how did you meet this guy? I met him online. Okay. And how long had you been guy? I met him online. Okay. And how long had you been talking before you decided to meet up? We were chatting for like two weeks and we had pretty lengthy conversations. Um, and I really felt like I knew this guy and, you know, knew a lot

about him. And I mean, I don't know if any of you have done online dating, but it's pretty clear. Um, you know, the guys that are just looking for one thing, and they pretty much get to the point really quick. I mean, most guys aren't going to spend two weeks figuring out who you are and what you like. Unless they're good at it. And then you'll have no idea that that's all they want. So you just made plans to meet at this bar, and then you're waiting there for like 45

minutes, and what's going through your mind while you're waiting for him? Well, a lot of things. I know that he lived like 25 minutes away so that was one of the things i thought well you know maybe he's stuck in traffic okay yeah a little while because if he lived right down the street he was 45 minutes late you'd be like all right he's definitely standing me up so you thought maybe it was a traffic issue yeah and and so i texted him initially and just was like you know is everything okay and i didn't hear anything back

and so then i thought well maybe he's in an accident or something and that's the kind of the point where you like start to not necessarily hope that he's in an accident not like a bad accident where he's injured but you know i hope maybe he got like a little bit of an accident so that he's not standing me up right so your email did say, that you felt like it might be your fault that he stood you up. And why is that? You never really actually explained it. Yeah. So I told like a tiny, tiny white lie on the dating profile.

Okay. What was your white lie? I'm 32, and I said that I was 25. That's a big difference there. You lied about your age. Seven years. That's a big difference there. You lied about your age. Seven years, that is a big age difference, Amy. I mean, you know how it is. Guys want younger women,

and at the time, it seemed like the right thing to do. And did you ever come clean about this? No, I have not come clean. That's my thought, is that maybe he Googled me, or, you know, Facebooked me or. So what, I mean, you've been online dating a lot. You said, what do you do when guys show up? They think you're 25 and you're actually 32. How do you break that to them? I mean, I don't think that I look that much different than I did. You know, I mean, I was using a picture from a few years ago,

but I really don't think that I look that him. Amy, you're catfishing him. Here's the deal. Once you hit the 30 mark, you get less messages from people. People are just not as interested. And so, you know, putting that I'm 25, I simply get more messages and more people are willing to look at me and then potentially... Amy, I know where you're coming from. Look, if I were to do online dating, all right, I never have,

but if I were, my profile picture would be Mario Lopez. It's really similar. So I can understand where you're coming from. You want to make yourself seem a little more attractive. And this is the only thing that you can think of is that maybe he found out you're real age. Exactly. So are you wanting to call and apologize and see if you can make good with that? Well, I honestly just want to find out what it is, you know, why you stood me up.

All right. We'll play a song, come back, call him, and get your second date update, okay? Okay. All right, hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Morning's Second Date Update. Amy is on the phone with us and she wants to call a guy named Craig today because

Craig stood her up for her date. But Amy feels like it might be her fault because they met online and Amy lied about her age by seven years. She's 32 years old, said that she was 25. She thinks maybe that he Googled her or maybe showed up and saw

her and realized that she wasn't 25 And then just decided to split She hasn't heard anything from him After waiting for like 45 minutes So we're going to call Try to get him on the phone And see if we can find out If that's the reason

Amy, I was thinking about it And I don't think that he stood you up Because you lied about your age You don't? No, I don't Because if I showed up And you said you were 25 And then I saw that you were like in your 30s,

I would have definitely stayed and came and talked to you. Because it's probably a sure thing. Because you're getting older and you're running out of time and you got to get it in while you can. You know what I mean? I know that it's probably going to happen with you. I'm with you, bro. Yeah, right? What is wrong with you guys?

Nice. Okay. Well, I'm going to dial the phone number right now. See if we can get him on the phone and find out why he stood you up, right? What is wrong with you guys? Nice, okay. Well, I'm going to dial the phone number right now, see if we can get him on the phone, and find out why he stood you up, okay? All right. All right, here we go. Hello?

Can I speak to Craig, please? This is Craig. Hey, Craig, how, please? This is Craig. Hey, Craig, how are you? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. Who? Sorry? Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning, the radio show. Hi. Hi, how are you?

Fine. Sorry, why are you calling? I'm calling because you recently sort of went out on a date with a listener of ours, and they wanted us to get a hold of you. Oh. And I say sort of went out on a date because you never actually showed up to the date. You're talking about Amy? Yes.

I am talking about Amy. She emailed us and told us that you guys have been talking online and made plans to meet up at a bar and then you no-showed. I'm sorry. So she called you and wanted you to call me? Yep. Yeah, because apparently you haven't answered any of her phone calls or texts or anything like that. Oh. Okay. So she's upset about it? You know what? What? any of her phone calls or texts or anything like that? Oh, okay.

So she's upset about it? You know what? What? Well, we talked to her, and she's not really as upset as you think you would be if somebody made you wait at a bar for 45 minutes and didn't answer any text messages or phone calls from them. She just kind of wants to know why. It's really complicated, and it's not her fault.

That's important for her to know. I should have texted her. Okay. Well, if it's not her fault, can you tell us what it is so that we can let her know? Because, I mean, you can imagine if you're in her shoes and you make plans to meet with somebody that you think is cool and then they don't show up. It'd upset you a little bit, even if you're not, like, outwardly upset at that person. I can imagine that you're in her shoes and you make plans to meet with somebody that you think is cool and then they don't show up it upset you a little bit even if you're not like outwardly upset at

that person yeah yeah i can i could see how yes so could you do her that favor and let us know why you would stand her up um i mean i had every intention of of meeting her and going on date as we planned but i live in chihuahua, and I just couldn't go through with it. What? Because you live in Puyallup. Well, I mean, kind of. It's a long story, but basically a situation that just makes it very difficult. Are you embarrassed because you live in Puyallup?

I'm more confused. You say you have a situation. I'd like to find out what that means, but I'm confused why you just mentioned the cities. Basically, I live in Puyallup, and I don't go into Seattle very much ever. Okay? I mean, the last time I was there was probably two years ago. What? And it's not that far away by distance, but for me, going into the city tends to stress me out.

And the closer I got to Seattle, my fears were building and kind of started to overwhelm me. Is it the traffic? It's traffic. It's people. There's a lot of tall buildings, and that's basically a lot of movement. And I honestly don't know how you guys do it. Like, you walk down just a regular street in a city, and there's so many sounds. You don't know where they're coming from.

Like, there's people everywhere, cars. Traffic alone is enough to just, like, freak me out. You know, there's people changing lanes, not even signaling, so many bad drivers. How do you guys even operate? So correct me if I'm wrong, Craig, it sounds like you were scared of the city.

I'm not scared of it, necessarily, but it's just... He's petrified of it. I'm not scared of it, I'm just really, really frightened of it it he just breaks out into cold sweats that's all i don't have nightmares about it or anything i you know like it's not like a horror movie for me but it's just a lot i understand and that's something that's hard to tell somebody before you've even had your first date yeah i mean like what am i supposed to do and say, sorry, I'm scared of the big city? Just, I'm a little country boy, and I can't possibly drive in with all those cars and people.

Did you see that giant space needle they got up there? You know what, Craig? I meet a lot of people like you after my comedy shows when I do them, like, in Puyallup and stuff like that. They talk about the city of Seattle like it's foreign, like they've never gone there. And they're just like, I can't even drive in there because the traffic scares me and I hate going there. Anytime I invite friends from Tacoma, they're always like, oh, I hate coming to Seattle. Yeah. I'm sorry, but he is playing such a victim role here

when he's the one that stood this girl up and you never even sent her a text. Like, you could have made up any other excuse in the world. You didn't even have to tell her the truth. I'm not a liar. I didn't want to lie to her and also get into something else where, you know, she didn't know the real truth. So I just figured it was easier to not, you know. All right. But I do have to let you know that Amy is actually on the other line and heard everything that you just said.

Hi, Craig. Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh. So, I really wasn't sure why you stood me up, but I really never would have guessed that it's because you were scared. Yeah, I mean, why would you go to that? I know. I mean, why didn't you just tell me? You know what I mean? I just waited there, and then I spent the whole time wondering, that i i know and and i mean why didn't you just tell me you know what i mean i just i i waited

there and then i spent the whole time wondering what did i do to make you i know because i really liked you and all you had to do was you know answer my text message or answer my phone call i know i just didn't know how to tell you yeah craig i mean hey listen, Craig. Amy is a 32-year-old woman. Okay? She can... She can handle the news that you have trouble going to the city. Amy's 25. Oh, did I make a mistake there?

Yeah. She's 25. Actually, she's 32. Really? So I guess you both have something that you kind of didn't tell each other. Right? That's messed up. That is messed up.

I figure now you both can come clean about everything. Are you really 32? Kind of. Sort of. Kind of, sort of. Why didn't you tell me? Really, I just didn't think you were going to be attracted to me if I was 32, or you wouldn't have messaged me.

Honestly, I thought you were a really mature 25-year-old. But I'm not. I have no problem with you being 32. It's a little weird that you lied to me, but I guess I kind of hid things from you, too. Yeah, and you made her wait at a bar for 45 minutes, Craig. True. So, maybe give her a break on the age thing.

Alright. Okay. Craig, would you like a second date with Amy? I will pay for it. I don't know how it would work, because I don't like to go to Seattle, and she probably doesn't want to come to me, and you know, it's kind of one or the other. I mean, at least we could meet in the middle, maybe, you know,

so I'm not always traveling, and maybe you could ride back with me sometimes, and you'll be with me, and we'll be safe. You'll be safe. Big, scary Seattle. You won't get robbed, Craig. Yeah. You won't get robbed, Craig. So what do you think? Can you guys find a way to make this crazy long-distance relationship of yours work? Long distance.

Craig, have you ever been to the metropolis called Rinton? Yes. Yes, you have. Okay, so you know where that is. What if we have you guys meet there? That should be fine. Okay. I can deal with that, yeah. That's a city that Craig can handle. And Amy, you know where that is. What if we have you guys meet there? That should be fine. Okay. I can deal with that, yeah.

It's a city that Craig can handle, and Amy, you know where that is? You don't mind traveling? Not at all. Not at all. Okay, perfect. Yeah. Then congratulations, you guys. You got your second date, Amy.

Well, first date, I guess, because you never showed up on the first one, but whatever. Right. I'm super excited. Yeah. I promise I will be there, and if I'm not there, then I will call. Okay. I promise I will be there unless the parking lot is full. Too many people.
