Moving 92.5. Rook and Jubal's Second Date Update. I can say this with confidence, and I'm not overselling it. Today's second date is going to be awesome. Uh-oh. You don't believe in love, so it's probably not going to be good. We've got Joel on the line right now. Joel is going to tell us about his date that he went on with a girl named Paige.

And, Joel, I've got to tell you, before you tell us about your date, I have a surprise for you after you tell us. Yeah? Uh-huh. What is it? I said after you tell us about Paige, I will tell you the interesting news. Okay. So tell us a little bit. So how did you meet Paige?

I went to college with this girl who works with Paige. And basically she thought we would be a good bit. So how'd you meet Paige? I went to college with this girl who works with Paige, and basically she thought we would be a good match, so we got in touch and she was like, hey, why don't we go to the spaghetti factory? The old spaghetti factory. I was like, cool, that's a good idea. I like Italian food, and it seems like a fun kind of place to go, very casual.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know what the old spaghetti factory is. Was it a good date or not? How'd it go actually at the spaghetti factory yeah yeah i had a really good time we had a really good conversation i'm i'm a pretty personable guy so i'm pretty good at like just getting the fun side out of people i guess okay so spaghetti factory was fun you brought out her fun side yeah yeah we had a good time. How did the date end? We went out for a couple drinks after that, and, you know, things got a little interesting. Okay, what do you mean by interesting?

We made out a little bit, which I thought was pretty awesome. Were you at the bar making out, or did you? Yeah, yeah, we were at the bar making out. Dude, I love seeing those couples i think it's so funny i'm sorry sorry joel good for you good for you buddy joel now i'm gonna tell you the surprise that i have what's that i want to introduce you to mark mark say hi to joel what hey joel i'm confused Mark actually emailed us about a girl named Paige. Oh, no.

With the same phone number. No way! Stop it. Yep. And Mark went out on a date with Paige, too, and she's not calling Mark back either, is she, Mark? No! Get it, girl! Oh, no!

Mark, please tell me you went to the spaghetti factory as well. Yeah. Oh, my God. Producer Boyd and I were going over emails and noticed that, oh, wow, weird. Both of these guys said they went out of the page, and then we looked at the numbers. We're like, that's the same girl, same date. She went on two dates. Come on.

Yeah, but it's kind of weird that both of them would email the radio station for a second date update. And she took him to the same place, too. She has a type. Mark, why don't you tell us about your date with Paige? How'd that go? It went great, I thought. You know, I met her through this online dating service. And we like the same movies, same music.

And so then she was like like let's go to the spaghetti factory i'm like okay yeah why not i love spaghetti and yeah she was cool like fun funny like now a lot of energy joel joel got a makeout at the end of the night did you get anything uh in the same bar i'm pretty sure wow What did it feel like to hear Joel telling your story but with a different dude? I felt like I kind of used. I don't know. I felt like an object.

You guys both feel like a piece of meat right now? Yeah, a little bit. I don't like it pretty much. How the tables have turned, my friends. How the tables have turned. We friends. How the tables have turned. We're going to play a song, come back, call her, and get both of your second date updates.

How about that? I'm so excited. Yeah, no, that's awesome. Please, I can't wait to hear this girl. Yeah. Oh, God. All right, hold on. Moving 92.5.

Ruck and Jubal in the Morning. Second date update. Okay, Mark and Joel, now that you've had a song to think about it, that you guys have both gone on a date with the same girl, different times, same location, same bar, everything else. We'll start with Joel. Joel, how are you feeling about things? I don't feel very good, to be honest.

Because you were shocked by this. You had no idea Mark was on the phone. I mean, I was just calling to see, like, what was going on because I really felt like I had a connection with somebody. But you may still. Nah, I don't think so. Probably not. Oh, come on.

Mark, what are you feeling like before we call Paige? I'm kind of feeling... I'm a little pissed off, you know? I'd be too, man. But she just went on dates. Yeah, I am a little pissed off. Yeah, but she's like going on the same date with different guys and just insert here. And then blew them both off.

And she's making out with both of them. Yeah, the problem is she's not getting back to them. Right? Okay, you guys ready to call her? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, come on. This is so weird.

Let's go. I can't wait to hear what she says. I love this girl already. I'll tell you that right now. Of course you do. Okay. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Paige, please? Yeah, this is Paige.

Hey, Paige. This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. How are you? Hi, I'm good. How are you? I'm pretty good. The reason that I'm calling you, are you familiar with our show? I am, yeah.

Okay, have you heard the second date updates? Uh-huh. Well, have you heard the second date updates? Uh-huh. Well, somebody emailed us about you. Ooh. You recently went on a date with someone, and they liked you a lot, but you're not calling them back. Can you think of who that would be? Um, David? David? I love you. um david

it is not david page you're amazing it's actually a guy named joel you remember joel um yes that was not very convincing page Do you remember going out with Joel? I'm pretty sure, yes. I'm pretty sure. Okay, there's definitely been a few people because, Paige, we also got an email from Mark about you. We had two guys email us about you. Oh, s***. It's okay, Paige.

It's okay. Not really. Yes, it is. It's obvious that you're dating around, which is whatever. That's fine. Yeah. But why are you not calling anybody back? I mean, what did their email say?

Did they? Well, both of their emails said that they really liked going out with you and thought you were cool and you had a connection. They didn't get back to you. But now we find out, like, there's another chump named Dave out there that didn't email us. So are you just going out on a ton of dates and just not calling anybody back? Just having a lot of fun, you know, just going and meeting people. So can I ask, why do you take them all to the same place? I mean, the old spaghetti factory is fun, Paige,

but I don't think it's like three times in a row fun. There's a lot of great stuff there. I'm on your side here. I think it's totally cool for girls to date, but you just got to give us the reason why you don't want to call these guys back. I mean, I go on a bunch of dates, and then I write about it.

In your diary? I have a blog. Oh, you write a dating blog. Oh, man. Okay. Oh, they each have an excerpt. Okay, so you write a dating blog, so you just go out on dates with dudes and then log it there. Yeah.

I mean, like, I really want to do more journalistic stuff and I think people are fascinating so I just, watching them and telling the world about them. Are you invested at all in, like, the romantic part of it? Are you actually trying to meet a guy? Or is this just all for, I don't know, fun? I feel like I'm more

getting the information so that I could know what I want. Or so that you can make some money by having people follow your blog. That's understandable. Hey, Paige, I do have to let you know that Joel and Mark are both on the phone right now. Yeah. And heard that basically you're using them to get followers on your blog. Hey, Paige.

What's up, Paige? Paige, I thought that we had a really good time, and it's not often that I get to go on a date with a girl that I really like, and I thought that we had something really special. Okay, so you got something out of the date, too, so you're fine. Is this Joel or Mark? Yeah, identify yourselves. Yeah, please clarify.

It's Joel. Okay, Joel. All right. Paige, do you feel like you're lying to these dudes? Honestly, I feel like it would be lying if I went on, like, three dates, but I go on one. Okay. But that's still one lie.

You know what? It's just something. You bring people to, apparently, like, the old restaurant. And I think that's kind of a lie. Well, I mean, like, you never asked me what's the purpose of this date. Shouldn't it be assumed? Usually people don't do that when they show up. What is the purpose of tonight's festivities?

Oh my god Are we going to have one make out session and you never call me back Or shall we spend the rest of our lives together? I was clear with why I was there You were clear with why you were there They were different, that's fine It's not like you are having an honest date at all Joel sounds like a hurt puppy

Hey Mark Yeah Do you have anything to say to Paige? Hey Paige, how you doing? an honest date at all. Joel sounds like a hurt puppy. Hey, Mark. Yeah. Do you have anything to say to Paige? Hey, Paige. How you doing? It's so nice to hear that I'm just like part of the experiment. That's cool.

Did you learn anything? Did you learn anything? Wow. Well, he hasn't read your blog, so he doesn't know what to learn yet. That's true. I can send you the link. You probably learned a lot about yourself. Oh, my God.

You are such a b****. You really think you're something special, don't you? I just write about my experiences, okay? Yeah. It's not like Mark and I don't have other stuff to do. So when we take time out, it's because we're investing in something. Mark and Joel have now bonded. You're just totally abusing our willingness to engage with you. Yeah, I call it bullshit, but yeah, that's cool too.

I love that we created like a best friendship between Joel and Mark, and they're like defending each other. One will be super sensitive, the other will take the more aggressive angle. Joel and Mark are going to be going on dates together all the time. Paige, here's what we're going to do. I would love

to offer you a second date right now. We will pay for it. You just have to choose which guy you'd like to go out with. What? what we're going to do. I would love to offer you a second date right now. We will pay for it. You just have to choose which guy you'd like to go out with. What? You're going to choose both? We will give you a second date if you'll go out with one of them again. Come on, this would be such a good blog. Think about it.

You could write about being called on the radio and then having to go out on a second date with the person who you just wrote about. You could call it back to your other blog, get some more hits on that. I'm helping you think business-minded here. Let's go on a second date, huh? Who do you want to choose? That was quite a pitch. Thanks. I think I'd have to look back through my notes.

Oh, God. She'd choose David. Yeah, she's just thinking about David still. Come on, Paige. We will send you out on a second date. You just have to choose Mark or Joel. We'll pay for it. Then I guess Mark.

I don't know. The angry one. Interesting. Nice. The angry one. Mark, did you want to go out on a second date with Paige? We'll pay for it. No, sorry.

You had your chance. You blew it. You blew it. Yeah. At this point, I would like to offer Joel a date since Mark turned it down. Joel, would you like to go out with Paige? You're like pimping her out.

Yeah, I would actually. Really? Yeah, I mean, I really like you, Paige, and like, this is weird, and I don't feel very good about it, but like, I feel really good about you. And I think that beyond all of this, like—

Okay, okay, thank you. No. Oh! What? And you are brutal. It's not going to—no, that's okay. You can send someone else out with Joel. I'm good.

All right. Mark and Joel, I would love to send you guys out on a date together. I'm not ending this until somebody's going out. Do you guys want to go out on a date, Mark and Joel? Just say yes, please. We'll pay for it. Whatever, man. I'll wing it.

I'll wing it. Wing man. Joel, would you like to go out with Mark? Sure. Yes! Successful second date update. This is amazing! You recently went on a date with someone, and they liked you a lot, but you're not calling them back.

Can you think of who that would be? Um, David? I love you! It is not David, Paige. It's actually a guy named Joel. You remember Joel? Yes. That was not very convincing, Paige.

Do you remember going out with Joel? I'm pretty sure, yes. I'm pretty sure. Okay, there's definitely been a few people because, Paige, we also got an email from Mark about you. We had two guys email us about you. Oh, s***. Oh, wow. That is a clip

from today's second date update. It was kind of a unique one. We got two emails from two guys and they both wanted to get a second date update with the same girl, a woman named Paige. And as you just heard, we called Paige and she wasn't sure who we were talking about.

No, she thought we were talking about a guy named David. We never got an email from a guy named David. No, we didn't. As the conversation went on, though, we found out she really didn't have any interest in either of them. She's just doing going out on a bunch of dates with dudes

so she can write a blog about her dating experiences. She's using guys for her own internet content. You know, if I was one of those guys, I wouldn't necessarily want another date, but I would want the blog entry that she wrote about me. I'd want to see, like, was I good on the date? Was I bad? How many clicks did I get?

Exactly. I mean, did I get likes on your Facebook page when you posted the link? In the end, we couldn't get Paige to go out with either of the guys. So we offered to send Mark and Joel out on a bro date. Here's what they said. Whatever, man. I'll wing it. I'll wing it.

Wing man. Joel, would you like to go out with Mark? Sure. Yes! Successful second date update. So see, it was actually a successful second date update. Sort of. A more interesting blog that would come out of this whole thing is a bro dating blog.

Yeah. Or if those two went out and then fell in love. And then it became more than a bro date. They actually became life partners. Wow, that would be awesome. It would be really cool. Thank God for Paige. Yeah, she really brought us together.

And thanks for brick and jubile in the morning. This is great. So if you have a date scheduled with a woman named Paige, chances are she's only interested in that one date, and then she's going to blog about you. Which may be okay for some men. You know, you want your 15 minutes of fame, and you don't want commitment. There you go.

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. Move at 92.5. Ugh, we're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you
