You know, normally going into these phone calls, I have a little bit of information.

But today, I don't know anything. What? I know nothing about the guy on the phone that wants to do a second date update today. Then why are we talking to him? He sent us an email that said, I need to do a second date update really bad. Please call me. So I figured, let's call him. What? All that said, I need to do a second date update really bad. Please call me. So I figured, let's call him. What?

All I know is he wants to do a second date update. He knows how to use an email account. His name is Alex. Okay. And I'm assuming that the girl he wants to call isn't calling him back, but who knows? Alex, how are you? Hi, I'm doing okay.

Alex, what's with the vague email man uh i don't know i didn't know what else to say it's just that i wanted to do a second date update well you could have given us a little background information on the date itself and what happened and why you want to call this girl okay well my bad tell us her name her name is. Tiffany, okay. Tell us how you met Tiffany. I met her at the club. All right, did you approach her? She approached you? How'd you guys actually?

I approached her, yeah. Okay. And is this a move you make often at the club? No, actually, usually when I see a girl at the club, I can't get up in her to talk to her, and I go home lonely. Wow, that's a sad, truthful statement. I love the honesty, Alex.

All right. Not good. So what made this time different? What made you finally go, you know what? For once in my life, I'm not going to go home lonely. I want to be happy. Well, I saw her dancing across the dance floor with her friends. And she was moving her hips in this great way and smiling and was just so joyful

and her hips were like all over the place like i gotta get in on some of that so apparently alex we know what you are motivated by it's not joy you like i do but it didn't hurt that i think she was looking at me too okay so you felt like you had some confidence like she had already given you maybe the okay. Yeah, and her friends were looking over. It seemed like they were talking about me. I felt like I was getting all the right signals. Nice.

Maybe it's because you were staring at her hips the whole time, and she's like, this guy won't stop looking at my hips. Well, I wasn't the only one. She was really drawing some attention. Okay. So you went over and talked to her, and you said, hey, lady, I see your the only one. She was really drawing some attention. Okay. So you went over and talked to her and you said, hey, lady, I see your hips winking at me. I wink back. What's up?

I wasn't that smooth, actually. That smooth? We call that smooth. What did you say then? I just went over and started dancing with her. I brought out all my goofiest moves, like, you know, like the penguin and the cowboy and stuff. Dude, I'm not going to lie. I think that that's awesome.

Make her laugh, right? It is so much better than going up and trying to grind on her hips, okay? Yeah, she laughed, so, you know, make a girl laugh. That's it, right? Yeah, okay. So she thought it was funny that you were dancing like that. And did your date end there at the club, or did you guys actually go out on a real date? Well, towards the end of the night, things were going well, so I just leaned in and whispered in her, do you want to see the real penguin back at my place? She gave me the nod.

Wait, she said yes, she didn't pour a drink on you. Yeah, she was laughing quite a bit, so I think she said yes. Okay. I mean, I guess the ultimate proof, if she said yes, did she go back to your place? She did. And how did the real penguin perform? You know, it started out pretty good. We'd get back.

My roommate was home, which was totally unexpected. And I don't have the biggest place in the world. So, you know, it's kind of in your face if somebody's around. But I just, you know, offered her a drink. And we're sitting there hanging out, talking. And, you know, she gets like halfway through it and says, why don't we just try this another time? It was that awkward?

Wow. Yeah. Are you not friends with your roommate? No, we're close, but, you know, I'm trying to progress things with the lady, and the roommate's in the way, if you know what I mean. Like physically in the way? Like sitting between you two? Or just his mere presence was upsetting to her?

Just the mere presence, I think. I do see him sitting next to you, rubbing your leg. In between both of them. So she said, let's try this another time. Yeah. And have you tried to text her and call her and see if maybe you could make another time happen? Yeah, I have. And, you know, I texted her, like, do you want to see the penguin again?

Dude, you won't let the penguin die, will you? I love it. Yeah, I felt like I was being really cute and fun and haven't heard anything, so I don't know. And you're sure it's

a roommate's fault that ruined your mojo. It wasn't something that you said because you sound adorable, but maybe not so smooth all the time. Yeah, everything was

fine and the conversation was good. The only thing that changed things was my roommate. And are you still living with this roommate?

Yeah. Because I would have moved out right after. Yeah, I've thought about it. It's kind of a deal breaker. All right. Well, we'll play a song, come back, call her, and get your second date update, all right? Okay. All right.

Hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Second date update today. I feel really bad for him. Why? Because he's never going to be able to listen to this song the same ever again. Because he was lied to by some hips.

If you missed the first part of today's Second Date Update, we talked to Alex about the girl that he wants to call. He said he was originally attracted to her on the dance floor at the club because her hips would not stop looking at him and moving in his general direction. And he felt so compelled by her hips that he had to talk to her. They danced for a little while. They went back to his place. He said everything was going smoothly except his roommate was home and he feels like his

roommate might have ruined his chances with this girl because she had to leave and that's the last that he's heard from her. So he got lied to by some hips. Did you talk to your roommate about that night? I did and, you know, nothing came up. It just seemed normal, so I don't know. Okay, so they didn't

take blame for it or apologize? No, because it seemed like there was nothing to apologize for. Weird. Okay, so we'll get her on the phone

and find out what went wrong. Here we go. Hello? Hi, is Tiffany there? This is she. Hey, Tiffany, how are there? This is she. Hey, Tiffany, how are you? This is Jubal from Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. I'm okay.

Who is this? Jubal from Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. It's a radio show. Oh, okay. I don't know it. First, I thought maybe you were familiar with who I was and who we were, but I guess not. I'm sorry.

Sorry. Is this going to take long? No, it shouldn't, actually. I just kind of have one question to ask you, and then we can let you go about your business. Okay, if it's quick, that's fine. Okay, it's about a guy named Alex that you recently went out on a date with.

What? It's a guy named Alex that you recently went out on a date with. What? It's a guy named Alex that you met at the club, and then you went back to his house. The Penguin? Maybe that rings a bell. Yeah, I know. I know who. Yeah. Okay. What? Okay, so Alex emailed us because he really liked you, but he says that you're not answering any of his phone calls or text messages, so he thought maybe we could get you on the phone and find out if something went wrong the night that you guys met. Uh, yeah, it was, it was a really weird night. Yeah. Why? It sounded, I mean,

his description of it made it sound pretty normal. You mean you actually, like, spoke with him? Yeah, he told us all about your date. Well, I guess it's not really, like, a date date, but he told us all about the night that you guys met. Uh, okay. I mean, everything he said was nice. He said that you guys seemed to have a good connection, you laughed a lot, and then you went back to his place,

and then you left, and that's the last that he's heard from you. Yeah, um... This is so weird. Um, okay, I thought he was really sweet, and then you left and that's the last that he's heard from you. Yeah. It's so weird. Okay, I thought he was really sweet. I just was, I don't know. After the club, I was kind of shocked with everything else that happened. Everything else that happened. What he told us, it sounded pretty tame.

He told you about his roommate, right? Yeah, he said that the roommate was there and he feels like that killed the vibe uh yeah yeah it ruined everything yeah why is this i mean that shouldn't be that big of a deal right um no it was actually one of the most uncomfortable things i've i mean the most uncomfortable situation i've ever been in why everything was fine i didn't well first of all i didn't know he had a roommate but like whatever like a lot of people do so he when we started together he told me his roommate shouldn't be home but then she was okay so it was a female yeah female but it was his it wasn't oh my god i can't believe you didn't tell you okay

uh it was his ex-wife wait what his roommate is his ex-wife is that what you've just said to us uh yeah he lives with his ex-wife he didn't tell us that at all he just said my roommate yeah that's exactly what he said to me too is his roommate and then she came into the room was like talking or whatever he goes to get us a beer and she was like looking at me weird i don't know and that's when i asked her uh like how long have you guys been roommates how long have you known him and that's when she i was just like yeah we we were married for two years and now we've been divorced for three months oh my and now we've been divorced for three months. Oh, my gosh. They've only been divorced for three months? Three months.

Wow. I kind of get it. You're living with somebody. You get divorced. It's hard to move out. But why the hell are you bringing women back to your place if you're still living with your ex-wife? Exactly. It's because she said she wasn't going to be there, and then she was.

Hey, Tiffany, I should let you know that Alex is on the phone. Are you kidding me right now? No. Hi, Tiffany, I'm so sorry that this happened. It's like a total misunderstanding. I don't think so. I think it's very understandable. How is it a misunderstanding that it's your ex-wife?

That's pretty easy to understand. Yeah, kind of cut and dry. We have an agreement, you know? It's your ex-wife. That's pretty easy to understand. Yeah, kind of cut and dry. We have an agreement, you know? It's not a big deal. She's totally more of a roommate than an ex at this point. It's been a while. Three months. Three months.

It's been all three months since you've been divorced. Well, yeah, we got divorced just three months ago, but the marriage was over way before that. Well, maybe you should have told us that your roommate was your ex-wife. We might have known what the problem was. I think it's the fact that it was a female is what the major problem was. No, I mean, maybe, but no.

No, that is not, that actually is not the issue. The issue is that you are living with your ex-wife and you're inviting other females to come over and that is not okay. Iwife and you're inviting other females to come over. And that is not okay. I understand where you're coming from, but her and I have an agreement. And we'll text each other when we're coming home and we'll clear out. And that's just the way it's supposed to be.

Like a normal roommate. So wait. Sort of. It obviously didn't work very well if she hung around and then told your lady friend that you brought over that you guys were married she never should have said that in the first place it's against the rules of our agreement she broke the rules and that's why you got screwed out of this date can i say one other thing sure when he was going to get the beer and i was like left in the room with her i heard him whisper to her to her, now that I understand the circumstances, he whispered to her,

hey, you have to sleep on the couch tonight. And I did not understand what that meant. Well, obviously now I do. Are you kidding me? You guys are still sharing a bed? It's a one bedroom. We bought the place a long time ago and we're just, you know,

we're kind of stuck with it for a little while. It's not a big deal. It is a big deal. It's a huge deal. We do sleep in the same bed, but we have a body pillow that we put between us. Oh, all right. Yeah, it's all good. It's like a bumper.

Exactly. I've never done anything with anybody I've been in a bed with that there's a body pillow between us. Completely blocks it. It does work. It works. Oh. Well, there you go. Great.

Tiffany, what are you worried about? He's got a body pillow between his ex-wife, who is his roommate now. Would you like to go on a second date with him? Yeah. We will pay for it. No, I don't think so. No. No way.

So shocking that you don't want to go out with somebody that sleeps with their ex-wife every night. Right? It's weird, isn't it? Yeah. You have too high of standards, Tiffany. Well, it's your loss because, I mean, nowadays life is complicated and people are stuck in different homes, like, after the recession. It's just the way it is.

Recession? Yeah. That's the way it is. Tiffany, look. That's the way it is. Tiffany, if you want to be successful in the dating world, you're going to learn that you're going to have to date men who are living with their wives. Current or ex.

Broken Jubal in the morning. When he was going to get the beer and I was left in the room with her, I heard him whisper to her, Hey, you have to sleep on the couch tonight. We sleep together. Are you kidding me? You guys are still sharing a bed? It's a one bedroom We do sleep in the same bed

But we have a body pillow that we put between us Oh, alright Yeah, it's all good Got a text in at 78592 that says This situation is more common than you guys think I have a bunch of friends who are doing this right now The situation is from today's second date update This guy Alex wanted to call a girl named Tiffany.

They met one night, went back to his place, and his roommate was there. And that's what turned her off. Because his roommate was not just his roommate. His roommate is actually his ex-wife. And she found out that, yeah, they actually sleep in the same bed at night because they have a one-bedroom apartment.

So it kind of killed the mood a little bit. You think? And he was like, it's been over for a while. Our marriage wasn't even that long. We're more friends than anything. But still, you can see how she was a little apprehensive to date him. Let me jump in your marital bed or ex-marital bed

and sleep on her side. Ooh, it smells just like her. Yeah. Knowing that the ex-wife is out on the couch while they're messing around. It's just too soon for this guy to go out and fully date, I think. I think he needs to get his stuff together a little bit before. You know, or date, but not necessarily bring the dates back to you and your ex-wife's apartment. Or suggest, hey, why don't we go back to your place?

There it is. Why would you bring him back to your place? Well, I have roommates. Oh, that's cool. I have roommates. You know what? Go back to my place. I got a roommate.

Yeah. No, wait. That's your ex-wife and you sleep in the same bed? There's a body pillow. But stop being so judgy. Yeah, get over here and kiss me. What are you doing? So they decided not to go out again.

I'm wondering how many people are actually in this situation, though, because I bet you it happens more than you think. I'm wondering how many girls and how many guys the ex-wife have brought back to the place that had no idea. Oh, that's true. That they were living together. Because they have the rules. Yeah, they said they coordinate with each other. Like, hey, I have a date tonight, so please don't be home. And for whatever reason, she was actually at the apartment that night.

Yeah. I think the last time probably went wrong, and she's getting a little payback or something. That's my guess. It just shows the difference between men and women here because all the dudes texting are like, I would have still done it. Yeah, of course.

It wouldn't have mattered to me. And all the women are like, no, that's disturbing. I don't want to mess around with some dude while his ex-wife is there. Yeah, even if she's out on the couch, it still doesn't matter. You don't even want to see pictures of an ex in a picture frame. And we're talking about an ex-girlfriend, let alone have the actual woman in the other room.

Just hanging out on the couch while you guys do your thing. And come out and compare notes after. She's just catching up on her real housewives. Sorry about that. Hope we weren't too loud in the other room. I made you guys a cheese platter the other room. Is that okay?

I made you guys a cheese platter. What do you want for breakfast? Somebody texted in, why didn't the wife leave? Because it's her house. I don't think she has to. I think he needs to change the way he's dating more than being like, get out. I know you live here, but you're going to have to sleep outside tonight because I got a date. Remember, if you want to do a second date update, all you have to do is email the show and we will call the person who didn't call you back.
