Unless, of course, that friend ruins your chance at getting some action. Then you should cut them out of your life. That's what I think. And in today's second date update, that's exactly what it sounds like happened to Jay, who's on the phone right now. Jay wants to call a girl named Michelle, and she's not calling him back after one of his friends apparently ruined his date. How you doing, Jay? I'm doing all right right now, guys. Why don't you tell us what happened? Well, I met Michelle

online. So I saw her profile, and her profile did stand out to me a little bit because, like, she just came off as so, I don't know, down to earth in that. Willing? Oh, down to earth. Okay, sorry. I thought you were going willing on that one.

That's what I usually look for in a woman. It's actually kind of refreshing to hear a guy say that her profile stood out not because of how much boob she had in the picture. Yeah, you know, it's right because I like the fact that she had, like, a lot of pictures with her family. But the truth is she also had a really nice set of boobs, too. She had everything that you were looking for. The whole package. She had a really nice set of boots too. She had everything that you were looking for.

Just with my face. The whole package. So she seems like she's normal. She seems like a nice girl. So I messaged her and she messaged me back and we kind of hit it off. And we messaged back and forth for a couple of weeks and we set up a date finally. Now what did you do on the date? Your email said that your friend actually ruined it for you. Well, it was our first date,

so we decided to do just something like, you know, low-pressure, casual, just to meet up for drinks at a bar after work. So I was, like, getting ready to go and meet her, and then one of my coworkers, who's a friend as well, he comes and tells me, like like this awful story about how he just got dumped by his girlfriend okay so you guys are at work and he's giving you a sob story yeah i mean he's actually pretty devastated he was like crying and stuff oh poor guy so you're

like hey uh yeah your story's cool and everything but i got a date right now with a girl who will hopefully be my girlfriend yeah you're standing in my way. Well, there's definitely a part of me that was thinking that. I couldn't leave him. I mean, he was literally crying. I just couldn't just, like, bail on him. So I was, like, panicking a little bit. I'm like, what am I going to do?

I can't abandon him. So I texted Michelle, and I asked her, listen, my friend, you know, he just got dumped. Is it okay if I bring him along? Oh, why wouldn't you just reschedule with her? That seems smart. No kidding. You know, looking back, maybe, but it's just like our schedules were like so conflicting for so long. It's taken me two weeks for us to get together.

So I really wanted this to happen. And I just thought this like he would come along we would have a few drinks and we would be able to just like break away and like he would go home and that would be fine you know right was she cool about you bringing him along she said yeah so we went up and we met and we all had some drinks and every time i thought we were gonna break away and pull the cord. Ditch the single loser. Get rid of that chump. Get rid of the third wheel. Just like he was, you know, he just kept breaking down.

Like we could not, it's horrible to say it. We just couldn't shake him. So he was like crying when you guys were out drinking. He was sobbing, yeah. And at this point he was kind of like this whimperish sobbing. I mean, what do you do? That's awkward. Was she trying to comfort him too?

She was just trying to say anything that would make things worse. Right. She doesn't know the guy, so she was just trying to say, you know, just be all neutral and just be like, it's going to be okay. I guess you'd probably get points

because you look like a really caring friend, which is always a positive. But were you ever able to just talk to her? Yeah, see, that's the thing. After two hours, she was pretty much kind of like, you know, she just said, I got to get going. She needed to go. And I was like, all right.

So I'm guessing your date ended with a passionate kiss right in front of this guy. No? He sort of cries more. It was like the awkward kind of like shoulder bump hug thing. Like it was just a polite hug goodbye. Right. Okay. And have you heard from her since the date?

Well, what I did was when I finally got home that night, I sent her a text asking her if we could try it again just hit the reboot button reset button and just try it again just the two of us this time yeah and she texted back that she didn't think it was going to work out or it was a good idea oh no that sucks i mean i mean that's kind of messed up though she's blaming you for i mean it's not an ideal situation, I get it, but you think that she'd give you another chance. Yeah, at least one. Yeah, I thought she would kind of see the whole thing

that I was trying to do the right thing for my friend, and I even texted her asking her, like, you know, is there a reason why? Like, if she could just, like, at least tell me why. But she never even texted me back after that. So that's all you've heard from her. I don't think it's going to work out. Right. Yeah, that was the last thing I heard from her, and she never got texted me back after that. So that's all you've heard from her. I don't think it's going to work out. Right.

Yeah, that was the last thing I heard from her and she never got back to me and now I'm like, man, you know, I spent two weeks. We really connected online. We had the chemistry and it's like I just blew it. Have you murdered your co-worker yet?

Well, you know, it's like his girlfriend dumping him kind of ruined two relationships. Yeah, exactly. You two can cry together now at your cubicles at work. All right. That's the thing. I really don't want to.

You know, I really want to make this work. Okay, well, we'll play a song, come back, call her, and then get your second date update, all right? All right, thanks, guys. Yeah, man. Hold on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Second date update.

I'm actually surprised that the guy that's on the phone to do a second date update today isn't getting a call back because normally uncontrollable crying on a first date always works for me. But then again, it usually happens in the bedroom and they never made it to the bedroom. They were just in a bar. So you should add your date in a bedroom, Jay, and it might have worked out better for you. I'll try to keep that in mind for next time. I appreciate the advice.

If you're just tuning in and don't know what I'm talking about, Jay went out with a girl named Michelle that he met online. The only problem was right before he was about to go on his date, a co-worker friend of his came up to him and said that his girlfriend left him. And he was, like, in tears and everything else. And so Jay was like, all right, well, you can come along with me. He asked the girl if it was OK to bring the dude. She was like, sure. And I think Jay was hoping that the guy would eventually get lost. But instead, he spent two hours with them on Jay's first date with this girl, crying

and sobbing and just talking about how his life was over because his relationship ended. And she hasn't talked to Jay since, except for telling him that it's not going to work out. All right, Jay, you ready to get her on the phone? Yes, definitely. Maybe she just realized that relationships aren't worth it. And it's better to be single than put yourself through that heartache. Or maybe she got his number instead of yours. And they've been seeing each other ever since.

She felt bad for him. That'd be a smooth move by that guy if he could get a date after crying for two hours. That sounds like the greatest scheme ever. If he did that, I'd let him have her. He'd actually come in and pour it. All right. I'm going to dial her phone number right now. Here we go.

Hello? Hello? Hi, can I speak to Michelle, please? This is Michelle. Hey, Michelle, how are you? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. Brook and Jubal, like the radio show? Yeah, just like that. How are you?

Well, I'm much better now. What are you guys doing calling me um nothing just calling people that you obviously you listen to the show that's cool we're just calling a check-in with people see how they're doing it's part of our service yeah right i'm actually calling you because somebody emailed us about you oh god tell me this is not a freaking second date update. I'd love to do that, but it is a second date update. Oh, God. And you recently went out with a guy named Jay. Oh, my God.

You're calling me about Jay? Yes, I am. Jay emailed us and told us about your date, said that it was really awkward because his co-worker came along. And then after the date, he texted you like, hey, I'm sorry about that. We should try it again. And you texted him back that you weren't interested. Yeah, that's, I can't believe that he told you all that. Well, he obviously liked you a lot and wants to see you again.

So what's the reason that you told him it wouldn't possibly work? Well, he told you how the friend came along, right? Yes. He did. He said his co-worker showed up and cried pretty much the whole time. Yeah. Is that not enough? So is that the only reason that you're not calling him back because of his co-worker? No.

The co-worker cried the whole time and to comfort him, he started saying horrible things about the girl. I mean, she wasn't even there to defend herself. And he's like, well, you know, she was kind of fat, so you can do better. Wait, wait. He was trash-talking his co-worker's ex? Yes. He's like,

oh, you can do better. I mean, she has a nice set of boobs, but that's all. And he was saying this in front of you, and what were you doing? I was like, yeah, I hope it gets better for you. There's more out there. But can't you give them, I mean, you could throw them a bone on that one. It's not like you've never comforted a girlfriend by talking about what a loser her ex was.

Road talk. On a date? Yeah, I wouldn't say that. Is it a circumstance for bad? I wouldn't say that in front of another girl. I'd be like, oh, dude, she's a waste. You're saying horrible, like she had man hands. You don't want her. And then

the part where I was like, okay, I need to leave is when they started asking me for friends because the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. So he was asking if you had any friends that his buddy could hook up with. Hey, can you call somebody and get them here right away?

Oh, my God. So that maybe he can sleep with someone? Really? Yeah, that's when I was like, okay, I'm going to see you later. He actually asked you if you had a friend that would sleep with him? Yes. And could I get them on the phone right now? Oh, my God.

What was your response to that? I was horrified and disgusted, and I tried to extricate myself from the situation. Was there like anything enjoyable about the date? I mean, it was funny on the outside. I'm glad I wasn't, you know, emotionally involved at that point. Did you ever for once think about a friend? You're like, oh, I bet you she'd do it.

And then almost call them? No. No, not at all. Can't even go there okay so michelle i know that it sounds like you're listening to the show and i don't know how many second date updates you listen to but maybe you forgot that jay is actually on the other line listening right now no i figured that was coming i'm glad that he got to hear all that oh okay jay, you know. You there? Yeah, I'm here. Pretty harsh recap, Jay. Listen to what she just said.

I can't believe she's, like, saying this kind of stuff. I can't believe that I was on the first date with you and you solicited one of my friends for sex. Or tried to. No, that's not what I did. That's not what I did. I was consoling my friend. That's what I was doing. It's called consoling your friend.

The way you went about it was not in a nice way. You have to know your audience. And I was there. It wasn't just the guys talking. And I'm glad that I got to see that side of you before I ventured in on a real date. Haven't you ever had a friend who just got dumped? I mean, haven't you ever broken up with a guy? Yes, and we go get ice cream, and we watch a sad movie,

and I say, oh, sweetie, it'll get better. There are better ones out there. Just wait a minute, though. But, like, you're telling me you've never had, and you don't know any of your friends who've ever had a casual, just a hookup after breaking up, just to feel better about themselves. You tell me. You might end up doing that, but you don't go on a first date and ask your date to help

you on that. I was just trying to get you involved so you didn't feel left out. That's all. You were trying to go. I did not feel left out. So thank you. Don't you just want to maybe apologize, though, and just say the timing was bad? No.

I mean, this is like, we gotta be realistic. She knows what's going on out there. I mean, don't be such a prude. Okay, well, you're being a jackass, and I don't want to have anything to do with you. We're not made for each other. Great. And you were just a jackass,

so I hope nobody goes out with you ever again. Yay. Well, this would be a perfect time for me to ask. Michelle, would you like to go on a second date with Jay? It's never the perfect time. Let me think. No. No.

Are you sure? I'm very sure. Thanks so much. Okay. Michelle, do you have a friend who's a little loose on the moral side that would want to go out with him? Well, you guys seem very loose on the moral side. would want to go out with him? Well, you guys seem very loose on the moral side. Why don't you jump on in there?

Alright. Hey, Jay, I'm sorry you didn't get a second date, but it is like you just went through a breakup, and I will sleep with you to help you feel better. Oh my god! I'm gonna have to say that's a no. That's too bad.

I just got turned down, too. Everybody's getting turned down, and nobody's getting laid over it. Broken Jubal in the morning. Quick word of advice for all the gentlemen out there dating. If you're out on a date, do not badmouth women the whole time, and then ask your date if she has a friend who's pretty easy and would hook up with one of your friends i shouldn't have to say that i should not have to say that but unfortunately i do it's brook and jubilant in the morning i'm talking about today's second date

update this guy jay wanted us to call a girl michelle that he went out on a date with the problem with his date was that right before he was going on it one of his buddies that he works with came up to him pretty much sobbing, heartbroken. He had just broken up with his girlfriend and it was like right before he was leaving. So he asked his date, hey, can I bring my coworker along? He'll just be there for a little while and then he'll go on his way. But he's having a tough time and she was cool about it. She was like, sure, bring him along. Well, it turns out after we got her on the phone and she told us the story that during that time, while they were trying to console his co-worker,

he actually was just like bad-mouthing the guy's ex-girlfriend, like saying horrible things about her in front of this girl. And then also stopped to ask the girl that he was on a date with if she had a friend who was, you know, easy enough and willing to sleep with this dude in order to help him get over his girlfriend. Like, hey, you know the best

way to get over somebody is to hook up with somebody, right? So, uh, do you have any friends out there who might just, you can call them up right now, they'll come over to the restaurant, dude in order to help him get over his girlfriend. Like, hey, you know the best way to get over somebody is to hook up with somebody, right? So do you have any friends out there who might just, you can call them up right now, they'll come over to the restaurant, they can go to the bathroom real quick and get things done? And surprisingly, she didn't like that. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't a look into what could happen if they ever broke up or anything or how he handles his own relationships, you know? Not at all. He's going to call her fat and everything.

Right. He didn't understand why she didn't want to go out with him again. But a lot of people texting in at 78592 understand exactly why she didn't want to go out with him again. Remember, if you want to go out with somebody, if you've been out with somebody and they haven't called you back, just email the show, brookandjubel at moving925.com. We will call the person who didn't call you back. Jon Stewart is back in the host chair at The Daily Show, which means he's also back in our ears on The Daily Show Ears Edition podcast.
