Rook and Jubels's Second Date Update. We have a girl named Meg on the phone for a second date update today. And in her email, Meg said that after her date, she was super disappointed in herself. Oh, man, Meg. Don't be too hard on you. Yeah. So before we go any further, Meg, I just want you to know the feeling is mutual. We're all super disappointed in you two, okay? What? No. That's fair.

No, it's a good thing because there's nowhere else for you to go from here but up, okay? So just remember, we couldn't possibly think less of you than we already do right now. So with that in mind, tell us about your date. Who's the guy you disappointed? He doesn't speak for us.

Well, I met this guy named Sergey. I thought he was cute, and he ended up being cute in person, too. Okay, so I see what you're saying, Jeffrey. She is at the bottom. Yeah. She's hit rock bottom. No, you gotta give her a chance. I mean, obviously, things are bad, Meg.

Yeah, but I'm still just really confused. Okay, so wait. Can we start with the disappointment or do we get to the disappointment? Where does that come in? Let's get to the disappointment. Why don't you start at the beginning and tell us a little bit about what you and Sergey did. So when we talked on the phone, we learned that we both love to travel. Shocking. We've gone to a bunch of places that I have on my bucket list, like Machu Picchu.

And I decided that instead of going to a normal, boring sit-down dinner, it'd be kind of fun to experience other cultures together and try street food from around the world. Oh, cool. So you booked two one-way tickets around the world and set off on your adventure. No! We went across the globe and we started with South America and had some carne batata

kebab from Peru and some chorizo sausage. So you planned out meals from around the world by finding different restaurants where you could go get appetizers, essentially. Exactly. It's like a little snack walk. Oh, man.

My heart is already full. If someone took me on a snack walk, that sounds amazing, doesn't it? Well, it was going really well, but I should have stuck with South America, I guess, because I decided to take us to a French spot, and I insisted that he try some street quiche. Street quiche? I don't know that that's a thing. What does that sound like? Illegal. So street quiche, are these like actual restaurants or are these like carts that you're finding on the side of the road? No, they're food trucks.

Oh, you're at food trucks. Okay. Yeah, you're walking up off the street, but like, man, street quiche will get you. What? Yeah, it's written right there on the, man, street quiche will get you. What? Yeah, it's written right there on the side of the truck. It'll get you. 15 minutes after he had the street quiche, he was just in really bad shape. Like, he was heaving.

Oh. I was, like, sweating. It was really scary. So I took him to urgent care, and I felt terrible because of this stupid street quiche. And so the nice thing was that like our conversation was a little bit surfacy at the food trucks, but in the waiting room, you know, he opened up a little bit. That's nice. In between heaves and cold sweats, he's opening up to you. See, that's the secret to getting a guy to open up to you.

Put him in the hospital and he'll tell you exactly what you want to hear. Oh, yeah. Get him vulnerable. He was crying to you, put him in the hospital, and he'll tell you exactly what you want to hear. Oh, yeah. Get him vulnerable. He was crying to you is what it sounds like. What did he tell you about? What did you talk about? Oh, you know, we just talked a little bit about our families and where we grew up, and we tried to not talk about food.

Good. So, obviously, I cut it short because he wasn't feeling well. I stayed until he saw the doctor. And then I offered to take him home. But he just insisted on getting himself a lift and taking care of himself. And we had a really, you know, polite hug. And that's kind of how things ended. You know, I sent a check-in text to let him know that I had a good time before the heavies. But, you know, heebsies. The heebsies.

But, you know, he's not really, there's no flirting or, you know, extra engagement. It's all very polite. Well, I would assume that he's very embarrassed. Like anyone who's got food poisoning, I mean, I'm assuming that he had food poisoning from the street quiche. It's not your best look. So why are you disappointed in yourself after this from the street quiche. It's not your best look. So why are you disappointed in yourself after this? Because the quiche didn't kill him?

Or did you want to get to the rest of the countries? No, because the quiche didn't kill me. You know, I feel a little responsible because I was the one telling him to try some food from my country. Oh. Oh, no. Your country hurt him. Your heritage food. Oh. Oh, no. Your country hurt him. Your heritage food. Yeah.

I want him to know that he shouldn't feel embarrassed. Or be afraid of the French. So when did he get released from the hospital? When's the last time that you talked to him? It was about a week and a half. I'm sorry. If I got food poisoning on the first day, I wouldn't be calling the guy back either. All you think about when you think about them is the terrible night you had. It's like he's not going to eat quiche for at least 20 years. And you're associated with it.

That's what I thought. But then after he got sick, he kind of opened up to me. So I'm a little confused why we were able to have this authentic, meaningful conversation and then nothing. All right, Meg. Well, why don't you go grab a plate of quiche? We'll play a song and come back

and we'll call Sergey for you and get your second date update, all right? Thank you. Okay, hold on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Morning's Second Date Update. If you're just joining us for part two of the Second Date Update, we're on the phone with Meg. She went out with a guy named Sergey and accidentally gave him food poisoning on their date.

She didn't give it to him, but yeah. She took him on a little tour of all the food trucks in their neighborhood and she forced him to eat some street quiche. Didn't force him. Asked him, whatever. their neighborhood and she forced him to eat some street quiche didn't force him asked him whatever which made him open up just maybe not in the way she hoped because he became violently ill and she had to bring him to urgent care and once they released him he has not reached out to her for another date so meg we're gonna try our best to figure out what's going on with sergey thanks you guys i really hope street Street Case didn't just ruin everything. Well, it did ruin a lot of things.

Yeah, yeah, probably his pants. But I just think he's embarrassed. I think if we can get through that piece for him, then it seems like a pretty easy second date situation. Man, I sure hope so. I liked him a lot. All right, Meg. Well, let's call Sergei and find out why he's ghosting you. Are you ready?

Yep. Okay, here we go. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Sergey, please? This is Sergey. Hey, Sergey. This is Young Jeffrey from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. Do you have a minute to chat with us? I'm sorry, who is this? It's Young Jeffrey from the radio show Brook and Jubal in the Morning.

Are you familiar with us at all? Hey, hi, guys. So, yes, you listen, or yes, you're cool that we're calling you. I'm sorry, I'm just a little confused by all this. Why are you calling me? That's a good question. Yeah, great question. Well, we're doing something called a second date update where we ask people who have gone out on a date recently why they're not calling the other person back. So you

recently took out a woman named Meg and she told us a little bit about what happened. Hmm. Yeah, she feels bad about it and she's really hoping to get another chance with you. She just wants to know what the reason is, why you're not getting a hold of her. Okay. And for the record, she feels terrible about the street quiche situation. We heard about that. Yeah.

She told you about that? Yes. I mean, if you're going to describe the date, it's a pretty big moment. Like, that would be the highlight, right? So you think me vomiting everywhere was a highlight of the date. It's a pretty big moment. Like, that would be the highlight, right? So you think me vomiting everywhere was a highlight of the date? Okay, bad low light. I mean, just a definitely spotlight.

A memorable moment from the date. I see. Are you embarrassed? Is that why you're not calling her back? No, I mean, I had a good time. You know, she's very nice. Even with all that, you had a good time. You know, she's very nice. Even with all that, you had a good time? Before that. Yeah.

That part wasn't real fun, but yeah, no, she's great. She's very nice. She's great. Okay. I mean, did you guys have chemistry? Yeah, you know, we had fun. Chad had a bunch of food. You heard about the quiche fiasco.

So, yeah, she was nice to hang out with. So why aren't you calling this great, nice, fun girl to hang out with? She just, I mean, bottom line, she just deserves, you know, someone better than me. I can't be honest about my past. I haven't been dating for a while, and I just, I was thinking I should

get back into it or something, but she'd be much better off with somebody, you know, than me. I I just I could handle their quiche like what do you mean she really liked you a lot like what could be so terrible in your past that makes you undateable for her I just think I shouldn't be dating you know she deserves a guy that can just be wide open about everything and I just that's just what can't you be open about with her? Did you get in trouble with the law or something? Oh, I was thinking divorce. No, no, no, it's not, it's not divorce.

I just, I don't think if, if she thought I just don't think she could accept me. It's not a, you know, a common kind of thing like that. So I just, like, I keep saying it, but I just, I think I just should not be dating right now, especially with her, because she's great. And, you know, she took care of me when I was sick and all that kind of stuff. So she's really got that sweetness in her,

and I am just... A terrible person. Aww. I don't know. What? In the past, yes. I mean, but it just... Not now.

Did you commit a crime or something? Like, you're painting yourself as a very negative person. And you sound, yeah, you sound lovely. Like, I would go have a beer with you. Yeah. I mean, I'm a terrible judge character. No quiche. Like, I don't think you're giving yourself a shot, man.

You can't decide for other people what they can and they can't handle. Yeah, but you don't necessarily need to lay stuff on others. You know, I mean, there's a level, you know, and mine's pretty excessive. So it just... So yeah, just quit. Good idea. So whatever you did in your past is so bad that you think you deserve to never have love and be single the rest of your life. Is that what you're saying? Well, yeah. I mean, that's what I've been struggling with the whole dating somebody. You know, Meg was my first date, and she was great. And

I just, you know, it's kind of like either you hurt yourself, sports injury, let's step back on the field, but you're like, oh my gosh, no, I'm not ready at all. This is still a very painful kind of thing. So I just, I don't think I need to drag her in. Well, Sergey, how about this?

Why don't we let Meg decide whether it's worth going out with you again? Because she's obviously interested. Maybe she should be the one that gets the final decision. Meg, don't you want to say in this? Yeah, I mean, hi, Sergey. Wait, Meg? Yeah, so here's the thing, Sergey. Meg has been secretly listening on the other line to everything that you've been saying.

Why didn't you guys tell me she was listening? I mean, hey. She heard all of that? Yeah, I'm just glad you're doing okay, Sergey. Listen, I had a nice time, and I thought we had a connection, and people make mistakes. You know, people have bad credit. People have criminal records. You know, that's the past, but, like, it's weird to just disappear.

I don't even think you'll understand. You know, everything that everyone's naming is just so light compared to this. I don't think you would accept this. Try me. I mean, you don't need to go into details, but try me. Yeah. Okay, fine. I'm warning you. You're not going to like

me after this, okay? Oh my god. I can't go into a lot of detail, but a while back, I worked for some very bad people. You would know them as the cartel. What?

No way. He's like Narcos? Wait, you were in, okay, continue. Sorry, continue. Cartel. Got it. See, that's what I'm saying. You guys saying bad credit, all that.

No, and I did, you know, more than just selling drugs. You know, if I hadn't escaped, I'd be dead. Like, it's just. Escaped? Yeah. Are you being honest? Are you making this up to get out like is this the most elaborate way to like not to blow somebody off and and be no hold on so can we clarify you were in the cartel with bad credit and that's why

you can't go out with me no it is. No, nothing to do with that credit. Okay, I'm just trying to get all the facts here. Had to move to a different city, all that sort of thing. That's scary. So that's why I can't open up. That's why talking about my past, it just doesn't work. I don't need to bring Meg into this, so. Well, let Meg decide.

Yeah, exactly. Let Meg, she has a mind. Right, Meg, so see, it's not what you were thinking. It's just the cartel. Wow. Is that okay? That's huge. I can't say I saw that one coming, but yeah, we

should take things slowly. Very. You know, like, it's mixed though, right, Meg? Because part of that, really scary. Another part of that, kind of sexy for some reason. Some girls want to date El Chapo. It's a lot of that, really scary. Another part of that, kind of sexy for some reason. Yeah, some girls want to date on Choppa. It's a lot of things that one time. That's for sure.

That's one thing. So, as you were saying before, you know, you can handle anything if you can accept this. You know, I mean, are you really interested? Well, we could probably talk again, and it's nice to not feel as bad about the street quiche. Oh, yeah, I forgot about it. So, Meg, are you getting cold feet about this now? Well, I mean, no, he's still the same person I talked to at urgent care. It's just more information.

Sound nervous. But you know what, though? You're starting possibly a relationship in very open, honest way. Right. And his credit is great. What? Why do you keep going back to the credit? Why are we focusing on the credit?

That was her thing. I don't know. She was obviously concerned about it before. No, she doesn't care. Meg, I'm free on Friday. What do you say? Free from prison. Free in general.

Well, I'll look at my calendar. Well, hold on, Meg. You can't give your answer yet because if he's free on Friday and you agree, we'll actually pay for this date. Yeah! We will pay for you to go out with the ex-cartel member. Well, I still have to go look at my calendar.

What? Oh, no. Dude, do not say no to the cartel, man. I know. He's got the hookups in Cancun. You do not say no to the cartel, man. Yeah, he was. There's movies about that. He's got the hookups in Cancun. You do not want to miss out on this. No. Yeah, I knew I screwed up. You tell somebody once you're with the cartel, and they just blow you off.

Words to live by. Yeah. Sergey, thanks for being a good sport. Meg, come on. He's been through a lot between the cartel and the quiche. Yeah. Will you give him one more shot? You know,

it might work again, but I do need to check my calendar and that's the final answer. Ouch. All right. There we go. Thank you.

Oh, man, I'm so sorry. I never knew I'd feel so bad for a cartel member. I know, right? Oh, buddy. Ugh. We're so done with new year, new you.
