spent her first date in my own personal hell. Uh-oh. Chuck E. Cheese? No. Worse than that for me. Really? We spent an afternoon together at Target. I love Target.

Are you kidding me? I know you do, but as a guy who's had many girlfriends who like to wake him up Sunday morning when he's hung over and go, let's go to Target and walk around for a while, it hurts me to my core to have to talk about this. Her name is Lucia. She's on the phone right now. And apparently, yeah, for her first date, her and this guy went to Target. Lucia, how you doing? I'm good. How are you?

Oh, my God. Did you, like, go on your date and then come back with, like, the best curtains and that candle that you didn't know that you needed when you left Target? No, that's not what happened. That's why it takes 17 hours to go there. Oh, they have such good stuff. Lucia, how does one go on a first date to Target anyway? Well, in my situation, the guy's name is Terrence. I met him at a work function, and he asked me out, and I said yes.

So I waited a few days and hit him up and said, hey, I'm going to Target. Do you want to come? And he said yes. That's impressive because you would have said, ah, you know, I'm super busy today. But maybe we could go to dinner or something sometime. Well, I feel like, you know, dinner, you know, pressure. It comes with dinner and it's like, then you got to think what you're going to talk about

and do the whole thing. Well, how was the date at Target? I thought the date went really, really well. We had a lot of fun. We looked at quilts and then I suggested that we go to the movies which was next door okay okay so then you turned it into like a legit date you didn't just go shopping for a half hour you guys did the movie too well that's what I do I invite a guy to Target if I like him enough then you know we'll continue after Target, go see a movie.

You said this is what I do. Does that mean you take all of your dates to Target? Yes. Really? I mean, well. I've never heard of anybody taking a date to Target ever. Well, when you're dating someone, you're trying to find out what you have in common. And when you go to a restaurant, it takes about an hour, it takes much longer. So if you go to Target, you can

figure that out in like 15 minutes. I guess, yeah, you can tell what kind of stuff they want to see, where they want to shop, what kind of clothes they like. You can do all that. That's what I'm telling you. I think it's awesome. If someone doesn't like Target, then you know right away it's not going to work. I will say there's a lot of opportunity for good conversation starters, right? Exactly. You see things that spark your interest.

Hey, do you have this in your house? Hey, oh, funny story. I burnt something on using that iron, you know? I mean, some people meet at Starbucks to see if the conversation is good over coffee. You just like to do it over Mossimo or whatever they sell there. So did you guys end up going to the movie? No. He said that he had to go because he didn't have any time.

Oh, so he wasn't feeling it then. Well, I believed him, but then when I hit him up a few days later, he never responded. So he hasn't said anything to you since your Target experience? No. Did he seem bored or did to you since your Target experience? No. Did he seem bored, or did he seem fully engaged and having fun? I know when we got to the DVD section, we had a bunch of laughs there.

I bet. I don't know. Talking about all the different kinds of movies you've seen. All these Blu-rays everywhere. I thought it was a good date. Do you think he thought it was a date, or he was just hanging out with his new friend at Target? Well, I mean, here's the thing. He asked me out, so

I feel like he knew it was a date. Yeah, but did he ask you out to go somewhere and then you just texted him and were like, I'm about to go to Target in an hour. Do you want to join me? Yes. Because if I were him, I'd be like, oh, she doesn't really want to date me. She just sort of wants to be friends or something.

But then you'd still say yes to the movie at the end, right? I don't know. Not necessarily because I might think, hey, this is my buddy, and now she wants to go see a movie, and we're going to sit there and share popcorn and maybe not even share popcorn. So you think that he thinks that I just want to be friends? That's what I'm saying a possibility is. That could be one of the reasons why he's not calling you back. Well, I made it clear on my text messages that I'd

like to go out with him again, so I don't really know how that would be the case. And he says nothing back to you at all? Nothing. How many times have you tried to get a hold of him? I mean, I don't want to, you know, stalk him and scare him off, but I mean, a few times. Okay. Well,

we'll play a song, come back, call him, and get your second date update, all right? Okay. Thank you. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the morning's second date update. We are actually learning something from today's second date update, and that's that dating has changed. No longer is it dinner.

You should take your first date to a department store. That's right. You just walk around a place like Target, and you take them over to the home furnishing sections and go, ooh, look, some Martha Stewart collection towels. What do you think about those? And then you see if they have similar interests. That's what Lucia did on her first date

and apparently that's what she's been doing for a lot of her first dates. When a guy wants to go out with her, she'll hit him up and be like, hey, I'm going to Target. You want to come with me? And if they seem like they have a lot in common and they like the same things at Target, then she'll be like, let's go to the movies or something after and continue the date. If not, then she just splits and goes

like, yeah, that guy's a jerk. It's like a free date. And her most recent Target date is a guy named Terrence that she met at a work function. They went and hung out at Target. She really liked him. She invited him to the movies after. He said, oh, I got to go. And he hasn't talked to her ever since.

All right, Lucia, are you ready to call him and see why he's not getting back to you? I'm ready. Lucia, can I ask you, what's your success rate with the Target test? Well, that's how I met my last boyfriend. Okay. Apparently it works for you. Alright, well, I'm about to dial Terrence's phone number. See if we can get him on the phone and find out why he's not calling you back.

Okay? Okay. Here we go. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Terrence, please? This is Terrence. Hey, Terrence, how are you? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. Sorry, from what? Brook and Jubal in the Morning.

It's a radio show. Okay. Okay, how are you doing? I don't understand. Why are you calling me? I'm calling you because you recently went out on a date with one of our listeners and they're wondering why you're not calling them back so you're doing a show about it yeah it's a segment we do on our show called the second date update you recently went on a date with a girl named Lucia. Okay. Well, Lucia emailed us and told us about your little Target experience. And she says that she's asked you out a few times after that and you just aren't responding to her. So she's wondering if you didn't want to see her

again and if she did something wrong on your date. Well, I mean, you you call a date, like walking around Target and like shopping, you know, just like getting stuff. By the way, I want to point out, I told her how weird it sounds to take somebody on a date to Target. Yeah, but if you don't like a person, why are you going to agree to go hang out with them at Target? Like you liked her at the beginning of this. Well, I mean, yeah, and she's like cool and she's really cute, you know, which is, like, I mean, I'm, like, a really simple dude. I'm, you know, I'm down to hang out at Target. I just didn't really know what the deal was, you know? We're, like, walking around.

She's, like, shopping, you know? Like, she's got, like, a towel set and toothpaste and, like, toilet paper. You know, just, like, she's, like, shopping. Right. Okay. And I got, like, some Twizzlers because I love Twizzlers. And they have them there, which is great. Right. Okay. And I got, like, some Twizzlers, because I love Twizzlers. And they have them there, which is great. They have everything.

Totally. But we're, like, in the checkout line, right? And I'm, like, behind her, and she's running all her stuff, and it comes out to, like, $96. Mm-hmm. The checkout person, like, tells her the total and she turns and looks at me and she says, are you going to get this? What? She had you buy her stuff at Target?

I didn't know what to do. What did you do? I paid for it. You paid for her stuff at Target? I mean, well, I was like, what? I didn't know if we were on a date. I thought maybe she was going to give me cash.

You know, like she didn't have any. Or like, I'll write you a check or I'll pay you. Okay, so when she turned to you and said, are you going to pay for this? What was your first reaction to her? Because I would have laughed and been like, no. I just, like, we're in line, you know. There are people behind us. So, I kind of just panicked, and

I gave the checkout lady my card. Uh-huh. And she didn't offer to reimburse you at any point. Like, I forgot my credit card, I'll pay you back later type of situation. I don't even know if she said thank you. What? Really? That is the most insane thing I've ever heard.

Is it like paying for dinner though? You feel like she used you to buy her groceries or something? I don't feel like she used me. She totally used me. Honestly, like if that's how she is, it was a pretty cheap lesson. You know what I mean? I'm glad that I learned it at the start. Yeah. She says she really likes you. That's the thing. Would you like me if I bought you your groceries? Yeah, I guess you're right. I would. I would really appreciate that.

Maybe you and I should hang out sometimes since you like doing that for people, Terrence. So I also need to let you know that Lucia is actually on the other line listening to this conversation, too. No way. Yep. Yes, I am.

Hey. No way. Yep. Yes, I am. Uh, hey. I, I'm so confused what's going on right now. I don't understand anything. What? What are you confused about? You made me buy your groceries. Well, I thought we were on a date and you were a gentleman and everybody knows on a first date, the gentleman pays. No.

Are you kidding? Lucia. They pay. Lucia, they don't normally pay for your groceries at Target. Yes, they do. That's how I found my last boyfriend. And other guys don't seem to have a problem it just sounds like you're using men to just pay for your lifestyle no it was a first

date he should have paid you know he would have paid the same amount for dinner we just got towels and stuff but that's the thing on a date, like, you both do something together. Like, you have dinner, and you both have dinner. And we did. And this is different because I'm just buying your s**t. No. Didn't we spend time together? Like, that was part of the date.

We had fun together. We spent time. That's what you do. And I shared stories with you. See, sharing. I shared. And the guy pays on the first date. Are you joking with this right now?

Look, I have taken plenty of guys to Target, and they don't seem to have an issue. Well, they don't have an issue because you probably never hear from them again. No, they're just different. You're cheap and they're not. Are you guys hearing this? I mean, this is what I'm up against. Am I crazy here or what? No.

No, I don't think. She's a nut job. This is what happens. This is what has worked for me in the past. And I thought, I genuinely thought he was a nice guy. Okay, not only... Clearly, I was wrong. Yeah, not only that, but you're the one that asked him out, so even if you guys were going to dinner, you should have been the one paid.

I mean, that's kind of the general rule, right? Well, no, technically, he asked me out on the first date. Okay. Right? And then you made him up. I just happened to be going to Target. And you made that date Target, and you thought he should have been a gentleman and paid for your first date at Target. Exactly.

So I'm completely innocent in all this. I mean, it was a first date. He should have paid, right? Yep, Lucia, you were exactly right. And I'm sorry that he's overreacting about that. Thank you. You're welcome. And I'm sorry. Stop it. She's going to take you that. Thank you. You're welcome. And I'm sorry.

Stop it. She's going to take you seriously. She should take me seriously. Lucia. You are overreacting. Yes, he is. Right, Lucia? But would you like to go out with him again, though?

We'll pay for a second date wherever you want to go. Walmart, even. Before, I would have said yes But not now Really? No, I'm not interested in going out with someone Who doesn't know proper etiquette For a first date And I think you're completely justified, Lucia

Thank you You're welcome Well, I don't want to go out with him But you guys, I mean, for participating I wouldn't mind the gift cards. Gift cards? You want the dinner even though you're not getting a second date? Well, this has been very stressful.

It has been. Lucia. No, Lucia, you're right. This has been stressful for you. Don't do it, dude. And he was kind of a jerk about the whole thing. I'm sorry, Terrence. He was.

But you were. He was. Oh, my God. So, you know what? I'm going to put you on hold and then I'm going to get you a bunch of gift cards, okay? No, Jubal.

Yeah. You're such a liar. You're welcome. Hang on the phone, okay? Okay. Love you guys. You too. Dude, you are not

making things better. That girl is nothing. I just want to do more second date updates with her. I know we're going to get more. Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Text in at 78592 says, thanks a lot. I just punched my radio.

I think I may have broken my hand. Smart move. Talking about the second date update. In case you missed it, Lucia wanted to call a guy named Terrence. They went out on a date to Target, of all places. That's weird. And she made him pay for everything that she wanted from Target.

She's smart. I don't know though. It was a cute date but it... I would like someone to take me on a date to Target. Yeah.

She basically thought, you know, hey, we were going on a date. You're the guy you're supposed to pay. Just pay for all my stuff at Target. She pretty much just used him

to go on a Target trip. Yeah. That's so interesting. And wanted to go out with him again probably so he could buy more things at Target. She pretty much just used him to go on a Target trip. That's so interesting. And wanted to go out with him again, probably, so he could buy more things at Target or maybe head on over to Walmart. Who knows? She probably left some stuff off her list. And he decided not to go out with her again. Surprisingly.

Everybody on the text message board at 78592 hates this woman from today's Second Date Update. I don't know. I thought it was a beautiful story.
